I thought it was interesting that in the ajc.com poll on whether UGA should consider playing two quarterbacks this season, 63 percent of the folks responding said yes.
On the surface, it seems like a no-brainer. The more real game experience your backup quarterback gets, the better off you'll be if your starter goes down for some reason. And it'll be a plus the following season when your senior starter has graduated. We all remember all too well what it's like to enter a season with no experienced QB.
But it's not that cut-and-dried. While D.J. Shockley went on to become a UGA hero when he finally became the starter in his senior season, the not-quite-but-sort-of dual quarterback system that Mark Richt used during the time Shockley was backing up David Greene didn't work all that smoothly.
Initially there was some minor controversy among fans as to which QB should be starting, with a vocal minority lobbying for Shockley. Noises from the Shockley camp about him possibly tranferring didn't help. But Richt wisely stuck with Greene, though he continued to give Shockley regular playing time. I remember watching Greene thread the needle on a particularly difficult pass for a first down that season and my son commenting, "How can you not keep in a player who can make a throw like that?"
Once Greene was established, the tide in fan sentiment turned a bit, at least in my section of Sanford Stadium. I remember fans gritting their teeth and muttering when Greene would be pulled according to Richt's arbitrary game "script" (usually for the third offensive series) to insert Shockley, frequently taking the momentum out of Georgia's offense and disrupting Greene's rhythm. It's not like Greene wasn't getting it done; it was simply Shockley's turn.
But Shockley the backup wasn't nearly the confident, proficient player that Shockley the starter later would be, and he often tried to do too much in his brief time in the game, resulting in errors like that dismal pick he threw against Florida, resulting in a Gator touchdown.
At the same time, I'm sure Shockley's performance his senior season was due at least in part to the playing time he'd had as a backup.
So, to bring it back to the current situation, I don't really have a problem with giving the backup (presumably Logan Gray) regular playing time. In fact, I think it would be a good idea. (This is assuming, of course, that Joe Cox plays up to expectations and remains the starter.)
The key is how you do it. Following an artificial script that doesn't take into account how the game's momentum is going, as Richt initially did with Shockley, is counterproductive. Of course, it can be tough to determine when is the right time to insert a "change of pace" quarterback. Should he be used for entire series, or is it better to put him in, for instance, on a down when it might help to have a quarterback who's more of a running threat? And if you give him entire series, should you wait until the game is well in hand, or is such "mop-up" playing time not really all that valuable? That's something Mike Bobo and Richt have to determine.
As my son pointed out when we were discussing this, one danger in playing two QBs, of course, is falling into the Spurrier syndrome where you pull them so often that the players' confidence is wrecked. But Richt has never shown that tendency, thank goodness, as was evidenced when he stuck with Matthew Stafford through thick and thin once he'd settled on him as the starter in the second half of the 2006 season.
So what do you think? Alternate series? Insert Gray for key plays? Mop-up duty only?

Best option for fans is to remain just that, fans. Let the coaches handle the hard decisions like who plays and who doesn't. They have a much better knowledge of the players, the game plan and the opponent. Sit back and enjoy the game. You are with 90,000 friends who love the Dawgs. What more could you ask for! But now that you have mentioned it, ……. naaaaaaa, GO DAWGS!

With the schedule that we have this year and the questions that we have about our defense, running backs, and receivers, I don't think its the time to fool around with a 2 QB system. We aren't good enough. We got away with it during the Greene-Shockley years because we had a dominating defense to rely upon. If the defense is dominating, sure, give Gray a series or two. There's little harm if we have to punt. If defense is giving up 40+ ppg like it did at times last season, foggettaboutit. We're going to need all the points and yards that we can get. Gray will just have to wait for Tennessee Tech week or something. Everything goes back to the defense. EVERYTHING.
April 21st, 2009

I think a player like Gray can be utilized in a few circumstances. One way would be to break the huddle with him at QB just for one play, kind of a trickery sort of thing. You could run something that took advantage of his ability to move.
I'm not a huge fan of sticking him in for an entire offensive series unless Cox isn't getting it done. Say Cox comes out and stalls on three straight series, then you could give it to Logan and see what he can do. That also provides Cox a little motivation to get back out there and fight through adversity.
Other than that, just use him at the end of the game.
April 21st, 2009

I agree about keeping it consistent with one QB. The beginning of 2006 was not fun to watch when we were shuffling QBs around. I think there's a big question mark around our receivers right now and I think starting 2 QBs won't help. That's not to say that we wouldn't be able to use Logan Gray in certain situations, but keep Cox as the starter. I feel he's more than capable.
April 21st, 2009
11:03 am
I don't like a two qb system. It takes away from the starters rhythm and effects their focus. Then again, I'll leave that decision to the coaches.
April 21st, 2009
11:04 am
if there is one thing RCMR knows how to do it's how to handle QBs. We have that as the least of our worries this upcoming season. He will know when to put Logan in there. The guy has a serious all around skill set, and he'll do just fine when called up. There is no controversy over whom the starter will be. It's going to be Cox. We had better hope that he is the starter all season. Any break from that will mean that he has not done the job and needs to be replaced, which is not good.
April 21st, 2009
11:18 am
I don't know if the two situations are comparable. In Greene you had an established starter who was confident in his ability to perform. In Shockley you had a dynamic player who could give the opponent a different look (and because of the script, opponents had to spend time in practice preparing for Shockley, which helps Greene all the more). Who among the current Dawg QB's is the Greene and who is the Shockley in this new scenario? Joe Cox has some experience but he's not a know starter and confident like Greene and he offers none of the changeup that Shockley offered. Logan Gray doesn't even have the little bit of game experience that Shockley had prior to his senior year, and not even any practice reps at QB. Murray and Mettenberger are without any experience at all.
I think the more accurate comparison would be Joe Cox2009=Joe Tereshinski, Logan Gray=Joe Cox2006 and Murray/Mettenberger=Matt Stafford2006. Cox has more game experience than Joe T. had at the time, but he's definitely not what Shockley was coming into his senior season. Remember, Shockley was never given an opportunity to be the starter until Greene was gone. Joe Cox was given the opportunity but didn't deliver in 2006. He should be better than he was then, but will it be significant? Gray is like Cox was in 2006, not a true freshman, but little to no experience at QB. He does have game experience, so he'll know what the game speed is like, but when you're taking the snaps, how much will the game speed up from that perspective? Murray and Mettenberger are exactly like Stafford, true freshmen who are highly recruited and expected to be stars at some point. What I'm interested to see is how having two Staffords will affect the two of them and how they compete and develop. Does it make a better starter at QB, or does having them share what little reps they might get retard their development. That's why I'm not sure why they are wanting to insert Logan Gray into the depth chart at #2 QB. Why not commit to Joe Cox as the starter (which they seem to have done) and then let the two freshmen compete and get more snaps to be the #2 starter? Then the other guy will redshirt, and you can have Logan Gray on standby in case of injury to Cox, as the #3 QB.

I agree with previous posters about sticking with one QB. While I liked DJ Shockley as a starter, I didn't really like switching him out with Greene. I remember during the FL game one year, Richt put him in there and he immediately threw an INT. Also, the Greene/Shockley duo was a lot more versatile than a Cox/Gray system. Greene was a pocket passer. Shockley had speed. But more importantly, both had game experience. Cox and Gray have very little game experience. We're going to have problems if we try a 2 QB system. Stick with Cox.
April 21st, 2009
11:43 am
Stafford did not deliver until later in '06 either. Cox is far better than JoeT. Cox is better than JP and he won the west with Bama last year. Cox was an elite 11 QB and has alot of potential. JoeT was not. JoeT could never look off his receivers.
A 2 QB system can work but not scripted like the DJ situation. Urban made it work really well for UF.
April 21st, 2009
11:53 am
I see using Gray in a way not unlike the way Tebow was used his freshman year. It seemed to work well. Lets take advantage of his skills rather than simply try to fit a square peg into a round hole.
April 21st, 2009
12:04 pm
Take the ball in the second half and if we are leading come out with Logan. That should shake up a defence used to a Cox led offense. Or go with the Tebow 10 yards in package.
April 21st, 2009
12:06 pm
Defense with a c, can anybody tell I graduated from UGA?
April 21st, 2009
12:10 pm
I would not be comfortable with any rotation of qb's with the minor exception of doing what Meyer did with Tebow in 2006 i.e, situational substitution. If Logan Gray, or Bacarri Rambo for that matter, are more effective at keeping Blair Walsh on the sidelines in the red zone, then by all means substitute in those instances, otherwise stick with the starter.
The real concern for UGA this year, however, is not going to be qb rotation. In watching the spring game it was very obvious, at least to me, that we only have 1 play maker that we can count on: AJ Green. I think that Joe Cox would do fantastic with a great deal of talent around him, but if all we can do is throw to a triple teamed AJ Green to get yards we are going to have problems. We need consistent play from the TE position, 2 RB's we can count on every down, and a threat from another WR position. Barring that we are going to struggle.
That struggle will lead not to a rotation, but to disaster leading to a replacement at qb. Murray has shown that he can make/create plays by moving around and delivering strikes on the run. In other words, he is a playmaker and Joe isn't. If we can't generate offense we won't have any choice but to throw Aaron out there.
We better hope that Marlon, Orson, Rontavious, and Washaun are ready to contribute immediately. OK State will score points no matter how improved our D is. I would put their over/under at around 25. We are going to have a hard time matching that with the skill position players that I saw on April 11th. 0-1 with the slate of games (SC, at Arky, LSU) that we have in Sept. could lead to a meltdown of epic proportions.
I see this current squad as being on a teetering point. We can be undefeated going to Jax, but we could just as easily be playing for bowl eligibility vs. Tech.
April 21st, 2009
12:14 pm
I can't go by GDay results alone, but from what I saw, it looks like Logan should be the starter, screw 2nd string.
However, I think Joe will do fine. If he does intend on using the 2 QB system, I think he should gauge it by the flow of the game.
April 21st, 2009
12:14 pm
Over the last few years, Joe Cox, through on the field competition, won the back-up QB position over Gray. Since Stafford's departure, Joe Cox, through on the field competition, has now won the starting QB position over Gray, and all comers. Last year, it was so evident to Gray that Cox was the better QB that Gray asked to be placed on special teams. These references and comparisons between JoeT III and Cox are erroneous and meant as some kind of attack by the haters, hopefully, true Dawg fans will realize this, understand that there is a reason that the nation's top QB prospects are lining up to come play for CMR, and shut up. CMR knows what he is doing, he has long past made it past his "new car smell" coaching days.
I strongly believe that the transition from the Stafford era to the future will be smooth, maybe even better.
I look for Bobo to put in some sets for Logan Gray, something along the lines of the "Wild Hawg" thing that Nutt did at Ark, but I don't think we will see anything like a true two QB offense… in 2009, at least. In 2010, when these freshmen become sophmores… who knows?
One thing is for certain, the future at UGA looks rich at the QB spot, and unlike a lot of you, I see no drop off with Joe Cox at the helm.
April 21st, 2009
12:21 pm
Ramblin Dawg you need a drug test !!! Murray and Mettenburger are highly recruited stars, but I expect if given a fair chance next year Logan Gray will be our starter…
April 21st, 2009
12:28 pm
Hunk Erdown,
I agree with what you are saying about Joe but you have to recognize he has athletic limitations. If he is handing off to backs that get stuffed, throwing to receivers who can't create space or drop it when they do and he's is taking five step drops and getting nailed, there is nothing that Joe can do about it. He can't go out on the perimeter, create time to make throws and deliver strikes on the run i.e, he ain't John Elway who could win playoff games (but not SB's) with zero talent around him.
He requires talent around him to be effective and so far I'm not seeing it with the exception of Mr. Green. This is not a commentary on Joe, its a commentary on Aron White, Caleb King and all of the wr's not wearing No. 8.
April 21st, 2009
12:38 pm
I appreciate what you're saying Dorsey, and yes, my statements are based on an assumption that the rest of the offense will be somewhat succesfull. I think the difference is that you are assuming the worst, based on what, the spring scrimmage? I really think we will be fine at the receiver positions (may have to rely on a few more tight end passes) the big drop off I see right now is at tail back. I really hope we get it solved by August, but we may have gotten a bit spoiled with Knowshon. We may have to realize that our running game, while effective, might not be as exciting.
April 21st, 2009
12:41 pm
The only thing I know about Logan Gray's QB abilities is that he was recruited by major colleges and signed by one based on his high school career. I've read that he is capable of running..Don't know a thing about his passing..Someone suggested use him like Florida used Tebow in his freshman year – you gotta be kidding with that comparison; Gray might be able to run, but he is no fullback…And I didn't notice a lot of shifty, speedy or strong running on his punt returns last year. I think Joe Cox is a question mark also; along with the young ones. The dawgs' backs and most of the receivers are question marks..The one thing I do know: if our defense, offensive line play and special teams are subpar, the Dawgs will be beaten often..And this is not just true of Georgia..There are several SEC teams in the same predicament..
April 21st, 2009
12:45 pm
It's not gonna happen. Richt is gonna keep Cox in the game until the Dawgs are up by 24 points. But it is fun to *talk about* putting in Logan Gray for a couple plays a game. I would like Logan go in on a 1st-and-10 where he reads the defense, has the choice of running himself or pitching to the tailback, executes the play, and goes out. Do that a couple times. It will work a couple times before defenses catch on, so then you give them the same look but tell Logan he can throw the ball.
April 21st, 2009
12:50 pm
Until they clean up the drug issue it's gonna be rough.
April 21st, 2009
12:52 pm
Joe Cox definitely deserves a shot to start at QB. However, Cox's
arm strength and overall performance with the first team offense at the G-Day game were not very good when compared to Logan Gray and his overall performance with the second team offense. Cox's play also has to say something about the improved play of the first team defense that his team was matched against. That defense was stout and rowdy. A good change, and hopefully indicative of future performance.
Aaron Murray was very impressive as young and inexperienced with the offense as he is right now. Mettenburger looks to be the likely QB to get the redshirt for 2009.
Joe Cox will get some serious competition from Logan Gray this summer. Everyone's contributions will only improve the QB position and leave Coach Richt with some tough decisions come August. All are great Bulldogs, and Coach will pick the best ones to start in Oklahoma. September is getting closer… Go Dogs!!
April 21st, 2009
12:52 pm
Hunk Erdown,
No one hopes my concerns are baseless and unfounded more than I do. Five drops and no real running game in the Spring game has got me very concerned though. This is not an offense that will be able to survive a lot of 3rd and longs. Unfortunately that is what you get when you can't get production from your running game and the receivers drop the ball in traffic.
Again, I hope I am wrong, but if we put up off. numbers like we did last year and it isn't with heavy production from at least one true freshman, I'd be shocked and very happy to say I was wrong.
April 21st, 2009
1:23 pm
One thing you and I have in common is that this ain't our first rodeo. I know that as a fan we try to glean as much info and insight as we can from wherever we can but that spring game just never has been a great indicator of things to come. I refuse to fall into the trap of letting that small glimpse make me have sweeping judgements that later on prove to be off base. If someone has some information other than just the one scrimmage that we know about, I'm all ears. I saw the same scrimmage, tivo'd it, have rewatched it several times, and I just don't get all the doom and gloom. It was what it was… practice. And I'll tell you this, I also watched Alabama's scrimmage and people "could" come away from it saying that Bama will suck to high heavens this year, but I think that would be a terrible mistake. I think I will reserve judgement and trust the highly rated recruits and professional coaches to bring it all together by game time.
April 21st, 2009
1:24 pm
By the way everyone posts, you'd think we are going to have the absolute worst team in the country next year. Dropped passes in the spring game? Yeah, those were bad, but keep in mind a lot of those receivers are 3 stringers who won't be seeing a lot of playing time. Caleb King is certainly not the next HW, but between him and the other backs, we'll be fine. We'll have plenty of yards.
April 21st, 2009
1:27 pm
Does Logan Gray bring something different to the table that Joe Cox doesn't? Can he run as could D.J.? If changing QBs doesn't alter the offensive strategy substantially, I see no reason to platoon other than to get LG some PT.
April 21st, 2009
1:46 pm
Well, he runs a 4.4 40 and from what I've heard can also throw the ball and move around well in the backfield. So I'd say that definitely adds a whole new dimension defenses would have to prep for.
April 21st, 2009
1:49 pm
I only saw one drop from a non-scholarship player and that was Zach Renner. Aron White had two drops. I would not be concerned about drops in a spring game if it weren't part of such an extensive pattern of drops by our receivers in real games. I'm sure Coach Eason was somewhere saying "I told you it wasn't my fault."
It is past time that we treated WR's and TE's like we do RB's. If you put the ball on the ground you don't play, period.
April 21st, 2009
1:50 pm
I guess I'm the only one here that thinks Gray is not only better than Cox but will be the starter by the end of the year. And since our RB production is probably going to drop considerably, it will help to have a speed demon under center. I think we'll see a lot of Gray.
Remember, he was a top 10 Dual-Threat QB out of high school as well. So apparantly he impressed the analysts enough to get him in the top 10.
April 21st, 2009
1:50 pm
Well then, Charlotte Dawg, there may a benefit to platooning QBs. I'm for optimizing our chances for an SEC championship and beyond no matter what it takes (legally of course).
April 21st, 2009
2:01 pm
When I said use Logan ala Tebow in the 10 yards and in situation, I did not mean use Gray to pound it up the middle. Use his scrambling ability to shake up the defense by not knowing if he will run to the side, throw or hand off the ball to the tailback. If we use him as a fullback he will be done by the South Carolina game. And don't use him in every situation. Let's quit being so predictible on offense and get our red zone production up.
April 21st, 2009
2:09 pm
I really enjoy reading all the differant prospectives about what people think might or should happen. It's pretty interesting & almost everyone has a good point. First, I want to let ya know that the Spring game isn't a good indicator of how the team is going to do. Mainly its for recruiting purposes (ESPN) & to give fans a football fix to hold them over for a while. A lot of starters were out for that game, & for good reason. Our coaches are smart enough to know not to injure anymore starters if they can or to show too many offensive plays to our rivals for obvious reasons. Many of the recievers that dropped passes are not starters. I know Micheal Moore dropped a pass from Mattenberger, but it was a five yard hundred mile an hour bullett. I think it's all going to come together for the DAWGS in time for Okie St. & I have a strong feeling that Gray is going to be a situational QB, but overall not going to see even half of the playing time unless heavan forbid Cox gets injured.
April 21st, 2009
2:27 pm
I say just give the ball to Logan Gray! From what I have seen, this guy can make the throws and plays for us to win. Not only has he shown the ability to be accurrate, but he is mobile enough to make plays when the play breaks down. Lets get this clear, the bulldogs are not a championship team! Maybe in a few years they will be. The year Shockley got hurt was their year and they missed out because of that injury. They will lose 3 to 4 games this year, but thats ok if they are learning and growing fron their experience. Remember when Florida had a poor defensive secondary and the very next year they were the best defense in the sec and now they are one of the best in the country.
April 21st, 2009
2:38 pm
To those that say the spring game was meaningless, let me put it this way: If we had played Florida that day they would have blown our doors off. But you say "Huh?, we don't play Florida in April. We play them in October." Yes, that's true, but it also completely misses the point. The point is that RIGHT NOW we aren't good enough to compete with Florida. Not even close in fact. And things don't just magically get better when the lights come on in the fall. We have an unbelievable amount of work to do to have a successful season this year, some would say its an insurmountable amount of work. They may be right. I agree with Dorsey Hill. This team could be 7-5 or 10-2. There's just no way to know. I can tell you one thing is for sure though. We won't be able to sleepwalk through the season and win 10 games like we did last year. If we're as sloppy as we were last year this team will be doing good to have a winning record. Don't kid yourselves otherwise.
April 21st, 2009
2:48 pm
Cox looked terrible during the G-Day game. He has ZERO arm strength. Case in point- had he been able to air it out, the flea-flicker play to Green would have been an easy TD. At this point, the two best options appear to be Gray and Murray. Sure, the feel-good story of Cox waiting for 4 years to finally get a crack at the job is nice, but the fact is that he just doesn't have what it takes to be a full-time starter at UGA.
April 21st, 2009
3:01 pm
One thing's for sure. We wont disapoint the "talking heads" this season. There are no expectations, & Georgia is off the radar. I believe this team is going to be scrappy & will have to earn every yard of every game. They will either be 6-6, or 10-2. I just wonder who's going to step up this year & make plays cause this team will be tested early & often with one of if not the toughest schedule in the nation. They will have to show up in Stillwater in late season form. If there is a time for Senior leadership its this year. We're going to see what Joe Cox is made of & can he keep the team together through a murderer's row of SEC play that eases up a little for an off week before "TWLOCP" in J-Ville. GATA!
April 21st, 2009
3:02 pm
My only real complaint against Richt is that he NEVER PLAYS THE BACKUP quarterback. During the David Greene years, Shockley played only on occasion (Yes, I was there for the INT in Jax in 2002…) Since Joe T got hurt in Columbia in 06, Stafford has been the signal caller, with no real participation by the relief pitchers. Georgia would do well to "get the next guy ready". I hate to think what the last two years would have been like if Stafford had broken his ankle. That said, can anybody help me get a ticket to the OSU game?
April 21st, 2009
3:16 pm
Didn't Miami just go through this??? Hope UGA learned something by watching how not to handle a 2 QB situation. The UGA faithful should be patient and stand behind Richt's thought process on this one.
April 21st, 2009
3:19 pm
I'm not a huge fan of a two QB system but with our struggles in red zone offense under bobo (who I do like, I am not talking down about bobo) I think Logan could add a major threat there and he could be great on third and short with the option run (is what fl did with Tebow as a backup, I'm not saying he is tebow either) Also using the two it will make opposing teams have to prepare for both in different situations.
I like the thought of what they can do with Logan and Cox.
April 21st, 2009
3:26 pm
Georgia is going to be one sorry football team. Your QB will earn the nickname Turnover Cox by the end of the season. And then after posting a losing record, you idiots will boo Mark Richt all the way down to Tallahassee where will beat him some more.
April 21st, 2009
3:39 pm
That's b/c Richt's teams lack the killer instinct to get up ahead by a comfortable margin during the second half. We couldn't even pull away from Vandy, UT, or Auburn last year as bad as they were.
That's why you never see the backups. You can't put them in when you are only up by a touchdown. I agree that it is best to ease these guys in but we really have not had the luxury of playing our back ups, etc. b/c it seems like we are always clawing and kicking just to win the game against a mediocre team.
April 21st, 2009
3:44 pm
Cox is a great leader and a good decision maker. He doesn't have an incredible arm or blazing speed, but he can manage the offense and pick up first downs–especially if the O-line is as good as some think.
Logan Gray reminds me of Colt McCoy. He's efficient and doesn't get too greedy. He uses his legs to create favorable passing lanes and does a good job drawing in LB's so he can dump over their heads. Murray showed some of this as well.
With that said, I think the Dawgs should have one primary starter (Cox's job to lose) and throw in Gray when the timing is right, versus just when it's his turn. If Cox does not perform well early on, I believe Logan can win ballgames.
I think people are being way too dramatic about the Spring Game. Bottom line is that we'll have another 40 players come September and there will be solid players to run, throw, and catch. UGA will be a sleeper both in the SEC and nationally this year.
April 21st, 2009
3:48 pm
Charlotte Dog,
Amen on the lack of killer instinct–drives me crazy! I am a big CMR fan but he's gotta help this program learn to BEAT teams instead of just getting by.
April 21st, 2009
3:52 pm
Really have you seen Gray play? He changes everything a defense is doing. Plus every time I've seen him throw he is extremely accurate.
April 21st, 2009
3:52 pm
I'm for anything that makes us more efficient in the red zone. For the last three years, we haven't executed well inside the 20. If Gray makes us better, then let him play some in those situations. Or let Caleb King or someone else with speed lineup at QB in the Wildcat formation. We need to do something to make sure we're scoring touchdowns, especially with our shaky field goal kicking game.
April 21st, 2009
3:53 pm
The quarterback giving Georgia the best chance to win should be used. Period. Whoever looks the best in practice should get the nod. As long as he is getting the job done and no one else starts looking any better, he should keep the job. That Murray kid looked pretty good in G-Day.
April 21st, 2009
4:12 pm
What seasons was you watching, Green would be stinking it up and Shockley would bring us back then he would put Green back in there. I just know one thing ,we need to beat Florida this year and not slip on a bs game in the sec

Amen OZZFEST,
I hate to say it but Florida is the best example of what a killer extinct in football can do for you. All too often, it is just a few series or one specific quarter where Florida just jumps all over an opponent, can tell the opponent is in a flux, and basically kicks the enemy until it is guaranteed that the threat is over. Meyer has the killer instinct. Mark Richt does not! And that killer instinct does not give your 2nd and 3rd string QB's, WR's, RB's, etc valuable game experience.
When Georgia gets ahead, then Richt and Bobo get conservative, we start punting every series, our defense starts getting tired, and then the next thing you know, the 4 quarter comes around and we've got a ball game. That's not how it should be week in, week out! Blow outs are fun!but for the Bulldog nation, it is something that we have become accostomed to unfortunately.
It will happen this year as well. Just wait.

North Stonington — Three masked men robbed about $100 in petty cash from the Cedar Park Inn & Whirlpool Suites at routes 2 and 184 early Saturday morning after they were unable to open a safe, according to state police.
The three men, who were wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks, entered the front office and confronted a clerk at 1:41 a.m. One appeared to be holding a pistol, according to a police report, and ordered the clerk into a back room where the safe was located.
After an unsuccessful attempt to open the safe, the trio left with only the money stolen out of petty cash. No description of the men or their vehicle was available and a police dog was unsuccessful in tracking them. The incident is under investigation.

There will be no supplementary discipline against San Jose forward Jamie McGinn, who received a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct in the third period of Friday's Western Conference final.
McGinn had a hearing Saturday with NHL hockey operations, and learned he did not face a suspension after a review of the incident.
McGinn, who drew into the lineup after watching Games 1 and 2, received a five-minute boarding call for his hit on Vancouver Canucks defenceman Aaron Rome. Rome had to be helped off the ice after the hit and didn't return.
The Sharks trail the series 2-1 after winning a Conference Final game on home ice for the first time in franchise history.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Recap: Phaedra Parks' Donkey Booty Gets Her Busted
Besides new girl Kenya Moore and the ridiculous drama she's brought, The Real Housewives of Atlanta have kept things uncharacteristically civil this season. Tonight, however, we got the first hint that things aren't as calm as they seem on the surface when Cynthia Bailey went head to head with Phaedra Parks.
Since initially joining RHOA with a belligerent bang, Miss Phaedra has really evolved into a likable Housewife who tends to stay above the fray and avoids the catty drama for the most part. Or so we thought. Turns out Phaedra only seems to be showing one of her faces, and tonight Cynthia busted her for the second one.
At a lunch with NeNe Leakes (we SO need more NeNe this season), Cynthia learned that Phaedra didn't give a "fuck" that she couldn't attend her son's birthday. And it wasn't just gossip that could be easily dismissed as rumor -- NeNe had proof. Apparently Phaedra had butt-dialed NeNe, and it was all there, crystal clear.
More from The Stir: 'RHOA' Star Kim Zolciak's Dad Has Some Nasty Things to Say About His Daughter
Cynthia was shocked and pissed since she thought they'd mended their relationship after the whole Peter and Apollo blow up, though not enough so that she could say the "F" word when she met with Phaedra to confront her. She came with a gift for Ayden in hand, and then got down to business.
"As a matter of fact, somebody actually told me that you really didn't give a –- excuse my spelling, a F-U-C-K -- if I came to Ayden's party of not."
Phaedra's first method of defense was to deny, claiming that she never uses the such language. "I don't think you've ever heard me drop the F-bomb so whoever told you that is tripping...I did not say that and I think you know I don't talk like that."
Oh, but she does. Cynthia let her know that not only did she hear it with her own ears, she could let Phaedra listen to it too. That's when Phaedra could have apologized, or tried to otherwise explain, but instead she just totally changed the subject and started talking about something biting her boob. It was awkward to say the least, and it will be interesting to see if Cynthia lets her off the hook that easily. She really should have brought NeNe with her. At the very least, maybe Phaedra should put a warming about the dangers of a donkey booty on her workout tape.
Meanwhile, Kim Zolciak was moving out of her haunted dream home because she was sorta kinda evicted or whatever. She was a mess while moving and dropped enough F-bombs in the process for Phaedra, Cynthia, and a small village combined. The biggest FU, however, she saved for Kendra, her landlord who she believes screwed her over. With all of the vindictiveness in the world, she had all of the flowers and trees she'd planted while living dug up, and she took them the hell with her. What she's going to do with them is unknown, but they weren't staying there. I'm sure the aftermath wasn't pretty.
Not that we'd expect anything less than a dramatic exit from Kim. And according to recent reports, there's going to be an ever bigger one later this season, when Kim quits RHOA for good. Stay tuned.
Were you surprised that Phaedra lied about what she'd said? Are you sad to learn that Kim is leaving RHOA?

Cynthia did a great job at giving Phaedra enough rope to hang herself. She didn't just say she didn't specifically say it, she said she never realy talked like that.

WilamNovember 27, 2012 at 7:12 PMI think if it were any other housewife, Phaedra would not live down that comment for the rest of the season, including the reunion; Cynthia is above such drama and I'm sure it will be a thing of the past. I missed this episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" because I had to go into work at DISH. I'm really bad with setting weekly timers on my DISH Hopper so I decided to record the entire season. I have over 400 hours of HD DVR room, and with that I won't miss a single episode and I can still record up to five other programs without using up much space. I can't wait to get home and caught up on the "donkey-donk gate;" it will be interesting to see how much the dynamics change between Phaedra and Cynthia.

Wow what a skank hoe that kim is. I was actually pleased she let her true colors shine when she referred to the other women as "them N**ers" It was time for her to show the world what a nasty low rent piece of work that NeNe has been claiming she is from the get go. Now all the women have proof.
Bravo are going to go to town and see her unravel. I will watch part of it just to see her fail. Kandi's mother said it best when she said "look how she treated her own mother at her wedding having her escorted out by security like some common criminal. Wow she is truly a repulsive creature.

CHESAPEAKE - Recycling trucks for Hampton Roads are "going green" and so are the trash trucks in Chesapeake.
The City will be the first in Hampton Roads to covert its 53 trash trucks from gas to Compressed Natural Gas. The process will be done over five years.
Officials say it will save $14,000 a year per vehicle.
"The trucks won't look any different. They will look like the trucks we have right now. You might notice on the top the cylinder is located up there, but most times they are encapsulated with sheet metal so you don't see them," explained George Hrichak, the city's fleet manager.
TFC Recycling now has a truck powered by Compressed Natural Gas.
The vehicle is environmentally friendly because it burns 30% cleaner than diesel fuel and makes less noise.
TFC plans to add more trucks to the fleet.
"Maintenance costs are lower and unlike petroleum fuels, the price of CNG can be fixed. But beyond the business benefits, this renewable energy source is just better for the community because of its lower emissions," said says Michael Benedetto, President of TFC Recycling,
The first truck is already on the road.

Blaine dismounts Mount Baker Mountaineers 46-7
Published on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 by
Jack Kintner
Read More
In the 100th meeting between two similar teams from similar schools, Blaine came away with a decisive win over their ancient rivals, the Mt. Baker Mountaineers, 46-7.
Stats tell the story. Mt. Baker had allowed just 27 points in its first three games before giving up almost twice that many to Blaine. Trevor Chau caught ten passes for 127 yards. Quarterback Jordan Mccarty went 21 for 33 attempts and two interceptions for an impressive 248 yards – 207 in the first half alone – and two touchdowns. The rock steady Caleb Statham got another 100 yard plus game on 11 carries and three touchdowns, including another signature breakaway, this time to go up 39-0 in the third quarter when he went almost 70 yards after being sprung by Blaine's experienced, take-no-prisoners offensive line.
The two teams first met in 1931, when there were still salmon in the Nooksack and Mt. Baker was just a little hill. This is one of the most lopsided wins by either team, and is even more impressive when you consider that Blaine did most of its offensive damage in just the first two quarters.
Chau also finished with one interception. With it he killed a Mt. Baker offensive drive that began when they intercepted a goal line pass from Jordan McCarty on the game's opening offensive series.
Blaine scored once in the first quarter and then twice in the second, third and fourth before Mt. Baker avoided a shut-out with a late ramble from Gage Robinson. Blaine led in first downs (19-11), passing yardage (248-86) and rushing yardage (246-149).
In addition to Staham's 108 yard performance, Tyler Chau went 64 yards on seven attempts, David Craig got 38 yards on five carries and Tusapa Laolagi had one 36-yard run. Supplementing Trevor Chau's 134-yard receiving performance was Todd Bird (7 catches for 76 yards), Al Bohnson (2 for 27), Caleb Statham (1 for 6) and Tusapa Laolagi (1 for 5).
Blaine next meets Lynden, probably their toughest test all year until post-season play. Lynden is coming off a 31-0 shellacking of Ferndale in which their premier receiver, Blair Bomber, caught six passes for 118 yards and quarterback Jordan Hastings went 15 for 23 and 189 yards.
Blaine's defensive secondary will be tested, as will the defensive line, but Blaine's been waiting like a patient spider for Lynden to fly into its web after some tough mis-cues on the road last year. Lynden already has defeated Blaine's homecoming opponent, Squalicum, and enjoys top-ten ranking as well. But the last time Blaine played a ranked opponent it worked out better for the Borderites.

Pre-transplant prognostic factors of long-term survival after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with matched related/unrelated donors

Mobilized peripheral blood has become the predominant stem cell source for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Few studies have compared outcome of HLA-matched related and HLA-matched unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplants. We conducted a retrospectivesingle-center analysis of 442 patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantationfrom matched related or matched unrelated donorand we analyzed prognostic factors for long-term survival.To account for disease/status heterogeneity, patients were risk-stratified according to theDisease Risk Index.Five-year overall survival was similar aftertransplants with matched related and unrelated donor. Because donor age ≥60 years impacted outcome during model building, we further considered 3 groups of donors: matched unrelated donor (aged < 60 years by definition), matched related donor aged <60 yearsand matched related donoraged ≥60 years. In multivariate analysis, donor type/age groupand graft CD34+ and CD3+ cell doses significantly impactedlong-term survival. Transplants with matched unrelated donor and matched related donor<60years resulted in similar long-term survival while transplant with matched related donor≥60years was associated with higher risks for late mortality and treatment failure. Lower mortality risks were observed after transplant with CD34+ cell dose > 4.5 x 106/kgand CD3+ cell dose > 3 x 108/kg. The Disease Risk Index failed to predictsurvival. We builtan "Adapted Disease Risk Index" by modifying risks for myeloproliferative neoplasms and multiple myeloma, thatimproved stratification ability for progression-free survivalbut not for overall survival.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified is a heterogeneous group of aggressive neoplasms with indistinct borders. By gene expression profiling we previously reported unsupervised clusters of peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified correlating with CD30 expression. In this work we extended the analysis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma molecular profiles to prototypical CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas (anaplastic large cell lymphomas), and validated mRNA expression profiles at the protein level. Existing transcriptomic datasets from peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified and anaplastic large cell lymphomas were reanalyzed. Twenty-one markers were selected for immunohistochemical validation on 80 peripheral T-cell lymphoma samples (not otherwise specified, CD30+ and CD30–; anaplastic large cell lymphomas, ALK+ and ALK–), and differences between subgroups were assessed. Clinical follow-up was recorded. Compared to CD30– tumors, CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified were significantly enriched in ALK– anaplastic large cell lymphoma-related genes. By immunohistochemistry, CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified differed significantly from CD30– samples [down-regulated expression of T-cell receptor-associated proximal tyrosine kinases (Lck, Fyn, Itk) and of proteins involved in T-cell differentiation/activation (CD69, ICOS, CD52, NFATc2); upregulation of JunB and MUM1], while overlapping with anaplastic large cell lymphomas. CD30– peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified tended to have an inferior clinical outcome compared to the CD30+ subgroups. In conclusion, we show molecular and phenotypic features common to CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas, and significant differences between CD30– and CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified, suggesting that CD30 expression might delineate two biologically distinct subgroups.

Tumor-necrosis factor alpha activity has been correlated to ineffective erythropoiesis in lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes. Infliximab (Remicade) is an anti-tumor-necrosis factor alpha chimeric antibody that is used in the treatment of patients with heumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease. Forty-six patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and a relatively low risk of developing acute leukemia were included in a randomized phase II study assessing the therapeutic activity of two dosages of infliximab administration (3 mg/kg versus 5 mg/kg). The primary endpoint was the response rate. Responses were observed in 3 of 22 patients (13.1%) randomized to the 3 mg/kg arm, versus 0 of 21 patients randomized in the 5 mg/kg arm. According to the statistical design of the current study, neither of the two infliximab dose schedules tested showed sufficient activity as a single agent in this cohort of unselected patients with early myelodysplastic syndrome.

Zebrafish were proposed as an alternative to mammalian models to assess the efficacy and toxicity of antileukemic drugs. Due to the limited number of transgenic zebrafish leukemia models, we explored human leukemic cell xenograft in zebrafish embryos. Human leukemic cell lines and blast cells sorted from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia were injected 48 hours post-fertilization and remained in the circulation of zebrafish embryos for several days without affecting their development. Imatinib and oxaphorines did not demonstrate any toxicity on normal zebrafish embryos and decreased the leukemic burden in animals xenografted with sensitive leukemic cell lines. Two other molecules, all-trans retinoic acid and the translation inhibitor 4EGI-1, demonstrated teratogenic effects at concentrations shown to be efficient in vitro, which precluded investigation of their antileukemic activity in such models. Altogether, xenografted leukemic cells in zebrafish embryos are a pharmacologically relevant model for screening non-teratogenic drugs. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 32 (4 ULg)

Background Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) support proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in vitro. Since they represent a rare subset of BM cells, MSC preparations for clinical purposes involves a preparative step of ex vivo multiplication. The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of culture duration on MSC supportive activity. DESIGN AND METHODS: MSC were expanded for up to 10 passages. MSC and CD34(+) cells were seeded in cytokine-free co-cultures after which the phenotype, clonogenic capacity and in vivo repopulating activity of harvested hematopoietic cells were assessed. RESULTS: Early passage MSC supported HPC expansion and differentiation toward both B lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Late passage MSC did not support HPC and myeloid cell outgrowth but maintained B cell supportive ability. In vitro maintenance of NOD/SCID mouse repopulating cells cultured for one week in contact with MSC was effective until the fourth MSC passage and declined afterwards. CD34(+) cells achieved higher levels of engraftment in NOD/SCID mice when co-injected with early passage MSC; however MSC expanded beyond 9 passages were ineffective in promoting CD34(+) cell engraftment. Non-contact cultures indicated that MSC supportive activity involved diffusible factors. Among these, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 contributed to the supportive activity of early passage MSC but not of late passage MSC. MSC phenotype as well as fat, bone and cartilage differentiation capacity did not change during MSC culture. Conclusions Extended MSC culture alters their supportive ability toward HPC without concomitant changes in phenotype and differentiation capacity. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 86 (42 ULg)

BACKGROUND: Follicular lymphoma, the neoplastic counterpart of germinal center B cells, typically recapitulates a follicular architecture. Several observations point to the crucial role of the cellular microenvironment in the development and/or progression of follicular lymphoma cells in vivo. The aim of our study was to characterize the spontaneous apoptosis of follicular lymphoma cells in vitro, and the modulation of this apoptosis by follicular dendritic cells. DESIGN AND METHODS: We used a cell line derived from follicular dendritic cells to model the functional interactions of these cells and lymphoma cells in co-culture. Follicular lymphoma cells were isolated from tissue biopsies. Apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry and apoptotic pathways were investigated by western blotting. RESULTS: The spontaneous apoptosis of follicular lymphoma cells in vitro involves the activation of caspases-3 and -8 but not of caspase-9, occurs despite persistent high levels of BCL-2 and MCL-1, and is associated with down-regulation of c-FLIP(L). Spontaneous apoptosis of follicular lymphoma cells is partially prevented by co-culture with the follicular dendritic cells, which prevents activation of caspase-8, caspase-3 and induces an upregulation of c-FLIP(L). Using neutralizing antibodies, we demonstrated that interactions involving CD54 (ICAM-1), CD106 (VCAM-1) and CD40 are implicated in this biological process. CONCLUSIONS: Follicular dendritic cells constitute a useful tool to study the functional interactions between follicular lymphoma cells and follicular dendritic cells in vitro. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in these protective interactions may lead to the identification of therapeutic agents that might suppress the survival and growth of follicular lymphoma cells.

BACKGROUND: Background and objective. We investigated immune recovery in 50 patients given either unmanipulated or CD8-depleted allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells after non-myeloablative conditioning. DESIGN AND METHODS: Fifty patients were randomized to receive either CD8-depleted (n=22) or non-manipulated (n=28) peripheral blood stem cells. The median patients age was 57 (range 36-69) years. The conditioning regimen consisted of 2 Gy total body irradiation with or without added fludarabine. Twenty patients received grafts from related donors, 14 from 10/10 HLA-allele matched unrelated donors, and 16 from HLA-mismatched unrelated donors. Graft-versus-host disease pro-phylaxis consisted of mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine. Immune recovery during the first year after hematopoietic cell transplantation was assessed by flow cytometry phenotyping, analyses of the diversity of the TCRBV repertoire, and quantification of signal-joint T-cell receptor excision circles (sjTREC). RESULTS: CD8-depletion of the graft reduced the recovery of CD8(+) T-cell counts in the first 6 months following transplantation (p<0.0001) but had no significant impact on the restoration of other T-cell subsets. Both sjTREC concentration and CD3(+) T-cell counts increased significantly between day 100 and 365 (p=0.010 and p=0.0488, respectively) demonstrating neo-production of T cells by the thymus. Factors associated with high sjTREC concentration 1 year after transplantation included an HLA-matched unrelated donor (p=0.029), a high content of T cells in the graft (p=0.002), and the absence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that while immune recovery is mainly driven by peripheral expansion of the graft-contained mature T cells during the first months after non-myeloablative transplantation, T-cell neo-generation by the thymus plays an important role in long term immune reconstitution in transplanted patients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The maintenance of adequate interactions with the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment is critical to ensure efficient homing of ex vivo-expanded hematopoietic cells. This study was intended to assess adhesion and migration properties of long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) harvested after self-renewal division in ex vivo culture and to determine their susceptibility to growth-inhibitory signals mediated by adhesion to BM stromal ligands. DESIGN AND METHODS: We used cell tracking to isolate primitive LTC-IC that had accomplished 1 or 2 divisions ex vivo. Adhesion, migration and growth inhibition of divided LTC-IC were determined in the presence of purified BM ligands, and compared to the properties of uncultured LTC-IC. RESULTS: As compared to undivided LTC-IC, adhesion and migration mediated by very late antigen (VLA)-4 integrin across both vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and fibronectin (Fn) were downregulated in post-mitotic LTC-IC. Conversely, binding and motility via VLA-5 across Fn were stimulated. No changes occurred in LTC-IC interactions with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) or with E- or P-selectin. Proliferation of uncultured LTC-IC was inhibited by VLA-4-mediated binding to VCAM-1 and the CS-1 domain of Fn, as well as binding to P-selectin. Growth of ex vivo-generated LTC-IC became unresponsive to these 3 ligands but was suppressed through VLA-5 engagement by the cell binding domain of Fn. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: The generation of LTC-IC in expansion culture is associated with functional alterations of adhesion receptors, modulating not only binding and migration in the BM but also responsiveness to adhesion-mediated growth inhibitory signals. Such changes may limit homing and engraftment of expanded primitive stem/progenitor cells. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 27 (5 ULg)

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem?
- Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Editor's Note: Pastor Roger Barrier's "Ask Roger" column regularly appears at Preach It, Teach It. Every week at Crosswalk, Dr. Barrier puts nearly 40 years of experience in the pastorate to work answering questions of doctrine or practice for laypeople, or giving advice on church leadership issues. Email him your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Roger,
With everything that is taking place in the Mid-East, it is easy to see Bible prophecy playing out right before our eyes. The Bible is clear about what will happen to Jerusalem before God intervenes, and it isn't pretty. Yet, we are continually encouraged to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Are our prayers just an exercise in futility or can they actually affect the outcome in that region?
Dear Gary,
Things don't look very good for Israel, do they? Things don't look very good in the Middle East for the United States either!
The US embassies throughout the Middle East are being victimized by coordinated attacks. The US Ambassador to Libya was murdered. Rocks are thrown at the US Consulate in India. Mobs storm the US Embassy in Tunis. Protestors gather at the US Embassy in the Sudan. Armed men set fire to the KFC in Tripoli. The US is on alert for attacks in Libya. As I write, the US Embassy are under attack in Khartoum, Yemen, Somalia, just to mention several more.
Think about it, I haven't even mentioned the situations in Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran—and Israel.
The reason the attacks on the US in the Middle East are important is because the only nation willing to stand by Israel militarily and politically is the United States. Can you imagine that even the US is wavering in its support? Who would have ever thought this could happen? The United States has always politically controlled what Israel can and can't do on the world scene. Israel may soon be standing all alone.
Israel is not peaceful today. Threats arrive from numerous quarters. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, has openly declared that as soon as it is practical, Iran will launch a nuclear attack against Israel. Recently, president Obama made an ambiguously irritating statement of US policy toward Israel by refusing even to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on his recent visit to Washington.
For months Israel has threatened to destroy Iran's nuclear processing plants knowing that in many ways they are completely alone in the world. However, confusion reigns as a majority of Israelis are against military invasion.
In the midst of all of this confusion, the Bible speaks. We are encouraged to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The prayer for the peace for Jerusalem, found in Psalms 122:6-9, is a sweet prayer of blessing and peace for the beloved city.
In historical context, the Psalm is written after many enslaved Jews have returned home to Jerusalem after 70 years of captivity in Babylon. Nehemiah has rebuilt the wall to bring some sort of security to their ancestral home. Ezra and others soon commenced rebuilding the Temple. All is peaceful and well in the city of Jerusalem and the people want it to stay that way. So, they are encouraged to.pray for peace to continue unabated.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels."
For the sake of my brothers and friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you."
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your prosperity (Psalm 122:6-9).

Think you're good at air hockey?
You will lose.
Scientists in Japan have developed a robot which is unbeatable at air hockey. The robot utilities a camera to track the movement of the puc at 500 frames per second. This means that even at frighteningly quick air hockey strikes (lets say it moves the 1M table in 0.1 seconds) the robot will see 50 frames of where the puc is travelling. Giving it plenty of time to move to attack, block or stay stationary is the shot is going to be ineffective.
It would be like playing against someone on ketamine, every action being depicted as super-slow-mo.
Not only does the robot have the ability of foresight, it also utilities a very smart adaptive playing style. It uses Motion Pattern Histogram data, which tracts the movement of the opponents paddle and can tell whether the opponent is playing aggressively or defensive over a period of time and can adjust its relative strategy accordingly.
So, however good you think you are, it will always be better.
Next thing to do?
Let a robot play a robot. It could be a never ending 0-0, or depending on how well they adapt it could be a forever tense infinity-infinity.
It would be interesting after a very long time to see if there was any difference in score. As to say that one previously identical program has developed itself further, or possibly due to the smallest detail such as assembly optimization.

You have got to be kidding me...
If you look at the credits at the end of the video it clearly states:
In-game footage (order by appearance) Red Eclipse, Super Tux Cart, Halo Anniversary, Worldwide Telescope
In other words Microsoft's concept of the living room of the future includes Master Chief and two FOSS games... Not several, but two.
Why on earth would you put generators on the 18th floor if you don't have a fuel line running up to them... That seems like quite a basic oversight???
Why not just sell them? Slashdot always has to find creative things to do with old stuff. Just sell it and use the money for something else.
That's what I got out of it...
Not sure what the hell the defense contractor has to do with anything? LibLime appears to be the guilty party here.

From the latest WineEnthusiast:
1. The Wine Prism by David Gates (not Ridge viticultural manager) of Rubicon. This is a glass straw for drinking wine w/ aerating holes that magnifies the wine's characteristics. They first considered stainless steel but decided against because it would impart flavors to the wine. The glass allows you to see the air and wine mixing together. OhOhOh...I'm buying, only $19.95. http://www.WinePrism.com
2. The Winesceptre. This is a surgical stainless steel wand (certified taste neutral!!) that you insert in the freezer for several hours. Then you insert it in your pre-chilled white wine and it maintains the wines temperature w/o the use of those messy ice buckets and lost labels (when's the last time you had a wine whose label came off in water??). Comes in a variety of designs for the top stopper. Laquered hardwood box from $139-$185. Oh..Oh..Oh...I'm buying. http://www.MistralImports.com
3. From the latest Decanter. This device employes the principles of biofeedback and applied kinesiolgy to predict how harmful or beneficial a "product" (presume this means a wine?) may be to you. The Touchstone VS1 Allergy Scanner. It measures your muscle strength (I assume they're talking hand muscles, not other appendages!!) and hold it near, alerting you via colored lights as to its probable effects. Invented by the famous Peter Mackeonis. Only $150. Oh..Oh..Oh...I'm buying TWO!! http://www.VitaScans.com
Sure looks to me like magnets are now passe. I'm trying to figure out how I can use some of our Depleted Uranium to enhance one's wine experience.

State to charge fee to use Peace Arch, Birch Bay parks
state parks and recreation commission has approved a proposal
to charge a $7 parking fee to enter all state parks. The
system-wide fee, which would affect Birch Bay and Peace
Arch state parks, is being billed as a stopgap measure to
maintain parks until a long-term solution to parks under-funding
is developed.
It is with great reluctance but out of extreme necessity that we approved the system-wide parking fee, but we had no choice, said state parks chairwoman Cecilia Vogt. All the states citizens pay for parks now but the funding is inadequate and, until we have an adequate funding source, asking those who use the parks more is our best option.
Scrambling to make up a growing budget shortfall due to shrinking revenue from the state budget, the parks commission put a $5 daily parking fee, or a $40 annual permit, on six state parks. At their September 12 meeting that fee was spread to all parks, to be applied January 2003. Daily fees would be $5 until 2005 when they would go up to $7. Annual permits would be $50 until 2005 and then $70.
The state parks isnt blazing new trails in considering charging for access to recreation resources when faced with a shrinking budget. Whatcom County parks charges county non-residents $4 a day or $33 a year for use of county parks from May through November. The state department of fish and wildlife has a $10 vehicle access decal, free with hunting or fishing licenses, needed to use their wildlife and water access points. A Northwest Forests Pass, at $30 per year, is needed to park at trailheads and use other facilities in Oregon and Washington national parks and forests.
State parks public information officer Thuy Luu-Beams said staff would prepare an implementation plan for the December 12 parks commission meeting, which would work out details of fee collection, including a list of possible parks to be exempted. They will also look into alternatives to ensure seniors and low-income families can still afford to access state recreation resources.
Peace Arch park manager Wayne Eden is resigned. I can see the need for the revenue were downsizing now and looking at closing parks but Id hate to discourage people from using the park, he said. The commission has a lot of things to consider and Im confident they will. For now its a wait and see thing.
One of the challenges at Peace Arch will be how and where to collect the fees. I dont really have the staff, Eden said. Id be like the lone ranger, more a collection agent than anything.
At Birch Bay State Park ranger Robert Meyer agreed the new fees will be a logistical challenge but they were already preparing drop boxes to be installed along Birch Bay Drive for fee envelopes, which he hopes will eventually be replaced with automatic ticket machines. Well have to drive around and do periodic spot checks, Meyer said. With opening the extra fee envelopes it will be a lot more work.

This show is open to the public--FREE ADMISSION!
Please note that while this show is open to the public, many if not all, exhibitors will conduct wholesale transactions with you but the following conditions must be met: (a) the exhibitor is willing to make a wholesale transaction- some (few) vendors, mostly artisans, do not carry inventory for such transactions, (b) you have proper credentials with you (listed above), and (b) your purchase meets their minimum requirement for such a transaction (each exhibitor sets their own minimum). If you are a wholesale buyer, please bring proper credentials with you (i.e. tax resale license and business cards). If ALL conditions are NOT met, THE EXHIBITOR MAY NOT process the sale as a wholesale transaction as it will violate show policy and/or state/federal laws. Please be respectful of this and do not ask the exhibitor to risk expulsion or heavy fines for the purpose of a sale, as this may be considered criminal solicitation.
Class times vary.
