What a difference two years can make.
The 2010 Georgia Bulldogs lost a tough, bruising, ill-tempered game to a Gene Chizik Auburn Tigers team that was on its way to a Cam Newton-led undefeated national championship season.
The 2012 Dawgs returned to Jordan-Hare Stadium with the scenario not completely flipped, but close enough, as Georgia hammered the Tigers 38-0 in taking their second consecutive SEC title and notching their fifth trip to the conference championship game in the past 11 years.
Maybe the been-there-seen-that crowd that constitutes a vocal minority of the Bulldog Nation and measures the worth of a program strictly in how many crystal footballs you've won doesn't find that particularly impressive.
But while Georgia might face long odds in their hopes of making this year's BCS game, even if they win out and beat Alabama in the Georgia Dome, I think anyone who doesn't consider this already a successful season for Mark Richt's Dawgs should be sentenced to having to serve frustrating time in Tennessee fandom.
There was none of that messing around in the first half that has plagued Georgia at times this season, as the Dawgs jumped on Auburn hard from the start, scoring on their first four drives. Aaron Murray was superb, completing 18 of 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns (despite his two top receivers being lost for the season). And he did it the hard way in the three quarters he played, taking numerous hits though he was sacked only once.
Murray also did a good job of getting Georgia into the right plays, with Richt noting after the game that Marshall's long touchdown run came on a play where the UGA quarterback changed the call on his own. Murray's evening was, as his head coach put it, "some clinic reel stuff."
Georgia's offensive line might still need to work some on protecting its QB, but they did an excellent job of run-blocking against Auburn, resulting in the Dawgs' "Gurshall" tandem again both topping 100 yards, with Todd Gurley getting 116 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, with a long run of 49 yards and an average of 10.5 yards per carry. Keith Marshall electrified the Georgia fans who made the trip to Auburn with a 62-yard touchdown run that saw him again turning on the after-burners once he hit the secondary. He wound up the evening with 105 yards on eight carries and a 13.1 yard average per carry.
Despite Mike Bobo pulling his offensive starters and emptying the bench in the fourth quarter, Georgia racked up 497 yards of total offense, with 289 yards on the ground and 208 in the air.
Meanwhile, Todd Grantham's defense was stifling and notched the shutout that the defensive coordinator obviously wanted badly, since he kept his starters in the game through the fourth quarter. Or perhaps that was a bit of payback for Chizik and company from the ugly end to the game two years ago.
Led by freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace, the Tigers wound up with 238 yards of offense, with just 57 on the ground. Alec Ogletree led the Dawgs with 10 tackes, a sack and two tackles for loss and Bacarri Rambo had eight tackles and an interception. Jarvis Jones got another couple of sacks and a piece of a third.
Georgia still doesn't have a punt return game to speak of, with a zero yards of return, a couple of balls hitting the ground and a couple more awkward fair catches on which the receiver fell down. But otherwise the Dawgs' special teams play was excellent, with Marshall Morgan making all his PATs and a field goal and Collin Barber having another fine game punting, averaging 47.3 yards on four kicks and downing three of them deep inside Auburn territory. In fact, Barber and company kept the Tigers backed up most of the second half, even after the Dawgs offense had checked out for the evening.
What more can you say about a game where six different Georgia players scored and the Dawgs had only three penalties and no turnovers, except it was a complete performance. Let folks in Columbia gripe all they want. This 9-1 Bulldogs team deserves the division title it once again secured at Auburn — against whom, for my money, all Georgia SEC East championships should be won.
Now, it's your turn. Feel free to share your views of another terrific Saturday night to be a Georgia fan.

Great game from start to finish !! This was a focused Dawg team with a trip to the dome on there mind & ready to bulldoze any & everything in there way . Good job coaches & players on the mental approach to this game . With AU struggling this year it would have been a perfect chance for our dogs to lay an egg as in previous years . Murray took a few shots that worried me , but I'm. proud of my DAWGS !!!

Just got home from the game. We stayed till the end. It truly was sweet to see that empty stadium. The Auburn fans were flat before the kickoff. Understandable. See everyone the next two weeks in Athens and in the Atl in three.

I know, I know . . . This is going to be tough on you haters, but you can do it! Condemn the players and coaches for not winning by fifty. Bring up the fact that Auburn could have scored.
Oh, here's one for you losers: mention that the Dawgs only had two one hundred yard rushers. Please don't let me down, Haters. I am counting on you.

Everybody talks about how tough Bama is. Just go in and look at their schedule and tell me who they played that was all that tough. Michigan? — 7-3 on the year and it could be worse if they hadn't squeaked by Mich St. and Air Force. LSU? — Been struggling all season and played tough against Bama. If Auburn gets rid of Chizik NOW and brings in a good coach Bama may not win the Ironbowl this year. Now wouldn't that be something .
The Dawgs are playing together better right now than they have since Murray came on at QB. Not just the offense but the defense is playing great. I wouldn't want Richt, BoBo, and Grantham plotting against me in a SEC championship game.

Cuz — They turned the hoses on us in '86. I was one of the fans on the field that got hosed down. Actually nobody got furious about it even though it was super cold, below freezing if I remember correctly. Later after we got warm and dry we all had a big laugh. Just another Dawg — Cat fuss. GO DAWGS!

As much as I enjoyed beating Auburn, I am certainly of the mind set that we didn't beat anybody yesterday. This Auburn team is terrible! Beating a team as terrible as this does not constitute sweet revenge.
Go, Georgia Bulldogs!

Look's like the Gators had their heart ripped out after the loss to UGA. They haven't been the same since. Also, Thanks to CHIZ and TROOPER for helping motivate us with all of the late hits on our QB 2 years ago. Well done gentlemen!

I thought it was stupid to hear, once again, the commentators repeat that tired old line about Georgia didn't have to face alabama and lsu. Um, no, but we did face florida and, without the desired result, carolina, who, if I'm not mistaken, have the same records as bama and lsu. And the tide lost to the #15 team. We certainly didn't.
And unless I'm missing something, the records between the SEC East and West are pretty much identical, top to bottom.
Well, we face either bama or lsu, or maybe even A&M, who knocked of the almighty red elephants on December 1 and, after we kick the stuffings out of their overrated teams, what will the excuse be then? Oh, but they didn't face ALL of those teams. Shut up, people!

Murray was playing like he had some bad memories from that stadium or something. I wish Nick Fairley could have been in attendance, but his ankle bracelet wouldn't allow it.

Cut the crappy comments about beating a bad Auburn team – this is BS. Good teams win the tough games, they win the tight games and then when they play the bad teams, they take care of business fast and efficiently – something that – many of us here – have complained about earlier in the year. Not that we beat an inferior teams, but that we didn't do it convincingly enough. WELL – now we did! What else do we want? We can't help it Auburn sucks this year. But we did what a good team does. We ht them hard, fast and got the game over quick. This team is getting BETTER every week – they have NOT peaked – that is very encouraging. All of you haters — BRUHAHAHAHAHA! We're going to the SEC CG – where is YOUR team going??????

defeating UT, Auburn, and Florida is wonderful. These three te UGA's BIGGEST rivals.
SC … You will never be considered a UA rival. Three wins in a row? How about UGA WINNING THE SEC EAST in two of those three???
TN, AU and Florida wins are the greatest. Next, we pisto
Whip lil GSC and then, we humiliate GT in Athens.

Murray may only have been sacked once, but he was removed from the game for safety reasons…very time that classless bunch of goons had a chance to hit Murray, they either tackled them around the neck or used that illegal pile-drive tactic made famous by nick fairley…obviously they are still paying for players…why else would 4 five star players, including 3 from Georgia and the#1 juco player in the country commit to this inevitable dumpster fire? I hate Auburn…wish we'd hung half a hundred on em'
November 11th, 2012
9:05 am
I remember two years ago when Auburn had the game in hand late in the 4th, and kept the starters in trying to put up more points, Newton scoring with something like a minute left…
Richt pulled our guys late in the third…
What a difference in class. I propose that the Auburn fans should be stuck with Chizik and Co. till the bitter end, as I seem to recall that they're "All In"…..lmao today.

JaxDawg, DirectTV blacked it out here in Orange Beach also. We went next door and it was on Mediacom. I was furious with DTV. We have Dish at home and never had any problems.
Another solid game put up by the Dawgs. As much as I liked seeing Bama get beat to watch the toothless, trailer park dwelling portion of the fanbase wollow in misery, I would have much rather the Dawgs played an undefeated Tide, win or lose. Apparently the players that can read spread the word and they started to believe they were annointed w/o having to play the game.

So, Georgia backs in again, with the SEC's easiest schedule compliments of the SEC realignment, getting blown out 35-7 by an in-division opponent, and barely sneaking by Florida with two minutes to go even though the Gators had six turnovers in the game, half of which were unforced. You should be very proud of your achievement.
The Gators aren't quite rebuilt on offense yet, so enjoy your struggles to win a mere division title. We'll be back to pursuing national championships soon enough.
November 11th, 2012
10:16 am
Direct tv had us blacked out up here on ESPN 2, but finally got the feed with about 8 minutes left in the 1st qtr.and dogs up 7-0.Not sure how they scored that 1st td, but was good to see us hit them in the mouth early. It will be interesting to see how we handle the next 2 opponents who run the same offense. It will be a challenge for our defense, but should have it figured out by he time Tech arrives. Let's take care of business, then worry about Bama, who do look somewhat vulnerable against the pass. GATA

Great win for the Dawgs. Played well in all three phases and took charge from the start and kept right at it.
Bill, I can't agree that you can put a grade on this season yet and call it successful. Getting back to the Dome is a great accomplishment true, but lets see what happens from here. If UGA is able to beat BAMA and win the SEC then there is no question it was a successful season.
However, what if the Dawgs lose to GSU or tech? What if they get beaten badly in the SEC title game, in which case there is no championship this year. What if they lose the title game and then lose the bowl game against a top 15 opponent for a 3 loss season.
All of these scenarios are still on the table and it is exciting that UGA is back in the SECCG and has a slim chance to make the national title game if they can beat Bama and 2 of the 3 unbeatens lose. However, to get here UGA beat one of the two teams that had even talent and then beat everybody else that they should beat. So far UGA is playing .500 ball against even talent and they will have 2 more games (BAMA and the bowl game) against similar talent as well. 1-3, 2-2, or 3-1 are all still possible. Here's hoping for a great win against BAMA and two of the unbeaten teams losing.

So glad to see Willie Martinez on the opposing sideline. Hope Auburn will consider bumping him up to HC if they fire Chizik.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is as straight-up and unassuming as a business laptop can be on the surface, souped up with faster performance, long battery life, and a flexible selection of ports under the hood.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 packs in a new Intel Core i5 CPU and can run all day (depending on how you use it). With a 12.5-inch display, it's just a bit smaller than a 13-inch laptop, and it feels like an excellent compromise for frequent travelers.
Don't let its diminutive size fool you--the Garmin StreetPilot i series is a powerful, feature-rich GPS system with an extremely user-friendly interface.
Toshiba's ambitious Kirabook has a screen that rivals Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and a price to match. It's a solid, useful laptop, but for these prices, the design should really be more exciting.
Tabletop PCs may not be fully ready for the mainstream, but this coffee-table-size version from Lenovo is fun to use, and doubles as a solid all-in-one desktop.
You can get similar components to our Core i7 Dell XPS 15 configuration for less, but the rock-solid design makes this feel like a premium machine.
If you can't quite afford the Yoga 2 Pro but still want a full-time laptop and a part-time tablet, the 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is an excellent choice.
While it includes some performance and graphics concessions on the lowest priced model, the 21.5-inch iMac brings Apple's iconic design and top-notch bundled accessories and software to a wider audience.

North American Stainless Inc. (NAS) will use excess capacity to supply parent company Acerinox SA with material following a fire at the Spanish company's Roldan plant, an Acerinox spokesman told AMM.
Acerinox will try to minimize the impact on its customers by using older equipment at the Roldan plant not damaged in the fire, but eventually it will have to source from NAS because it is unable to produce its full line of products with the old mill.
Acerinox initially will supply raw material for the mill from its inventory and by converting billet from the melt shop at its flat-rolled facilities in Campo de Gibraltar in southern Spain.
"By changing the size of the billet, we are able to use all the equipment that is undamaged. We are trying to cover (immediate orders) with that old equipment, but for the rest of our immediate future orders we will consider product from the U.S.," the spokesman told AMM.

In Response to the Unpleasant Feeling of Dying (2013)
Hello, and do Not Forget to Smile (2013)
Mom & Moca (2012)
My mother and I are polar opposites. She prefers things in life to be as uncomplicated as possible, whereas my artistic nature constantly forces me to think in an unconventional way. Throughout the course of my life, she has been extremely supportive of my artistic interests, yet that does not necessarily mean she understands them.
One weekend we took off to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. As we roamed through the halls of the galleries, we seemed separated both physically and mentally. As we skimmed through the walls, she remained skeptical, as I grew enthusiastic. Finally, we both stopped and looked at the exact same piece. Rather peculiar, the image depicted the Golden Gate Bridge, which was surrounded by a cubic structure as if it was some form of tunnel. The exterior walls looked like cut outs of an abstract forest. I loved it.
Just as I was about to express my fascination, my mother interrupted. She said, "That is quite absurd. You do something like that, and you call it… art?"
I was in a paralytic state for seconds before I could answer. I looked at her and walked her to a bench in the middle of the humongous gallery. I explained to her that art is a universal codification of the greatest irrational manifest of all time. Therefore, it is not to be crystal clear. It is supposed to cause an emotion for something that you have never seen. Its main purpose is not to be clear; it is to be subjective.
My mom remained quiet in a state of reflection. She smiled back and for the first time in a long time did not question my opinion or ignore me. With a sigh of respect and pride, she told me, "Adrian, I like your thinking. Even though it is not clear to me, I am glad you think in ways I was never able to.".
She and I come from two different worlds, two different perspectives. I have been blessed with the opportunity to achieve and learn more than she ever did; that does not mean one is smarter than the other. We may not see the world through the same eyes, but her willingness to support me shows that even though she has a hard time understanding what I have to say, she believes in me.
PS: Thanks for the help Mamma Lillian.

This exhibit examines the empty homes and foreclosed dreams littering the American landscape in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. After a house is foreclosed upon there is a fleeting moment when the ghosts of the one-time owners are all that is left – before the houses are cleaned and returned to the real estate market. The photographs in this exhibit capture the remaining signs of life that once filled these emptied houses bringing to light ideas about home, family and the American Dream.

Opening Reception: September 11, 6-8 p.m.
Imagining the hidden realities of other people's existences is a continuing theme in the work of Bucks County artist Mavis Smith. Smith, who's works are often done in egg tempera, brings an almost surreal aesthetic to her paintings that further suggests the dislocation of appearances and realities. This exhibition samples a range of Smith's work from years past, as well as several new pieces, including both paintings and works on paper as well as some recent sculptural works incorporating egg shells. Opening Reception: Fri. September 19, from 7 – 9 pm

The band from Southern California (by way of Illinois) makes a rare coastal New Jersey appearance fronted by singer-guitarist-pianist and primary composer Dan Layus; with a revamped lineup, a new record label, and a new leg of tour dates behind their well-received 2014 release, Life Imitating Life. The whispery vocal verses and Coldplay-inspired ivories of the band's early singles "Boston" and follow-ups "Sweet and Low" and "Hey Now" vaulted to the Top 10 at AAA Radio. Then in 2011, for the band's self titled album on Epic, Layus had a major surprise with a punchier, more immediate sound that carried melodic currents of Soul Asylum, Tom Petty, Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen. Now the new album reconciles the various facets of the Augustana sounds through a succinct rhythmic attack and crisp production — with bright radio-ready anthems like "Ash and Ember" sharing the ride with introspective plaints like "Remember Me," under the flag of Layus's unerring pop instincts. Opening the show will be Jim and Sam.

If we drafted Lillard I would draft Henson. I think Henson has potential to be a great shot blocker and rebounder if he gains some muscle and weight since he has a crazy 7'6 wingspan. I also like the idea of drafting Drummond and Marshall. As you already said Marshall is an excellent passer and if he improves his shot I believe that he will be a good PG. Drummond is raw but he has potential to be someone great. I think that if the Blazers sense that they are going to lose Batum I think they will draft a replacement for him someone like Terrence Ross/Moe Harkless but selecting one of them at 11th might be a little to early. Either way I think that this draft may shape the Blazers team for the next few years.

Anyone who suggests we draft Marshall does not know basketball. Here is why three reasons he would not work in Portland.
1. Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum are terrible at moving without the ball. Both players tend to plant themselves around the three point line and stay there hoping the PG or LA kicks the ball out to them, with Marshall not being a shooting threat teams will sag off him and make him take jumpers cutting down on his passing lanes and because neither Matthews nor Batum actively cut to the rim Marshall's great passing will be lessened.
2. Our team defense, especially help defense was terrible last season. Marshall is nonathletic in comparison to many NBA point guards this will put extra pressure on an already weak defense.
3. Portland is one of the worst teams in the NBA at getting to the free throw line. Marshall will not change this and could lead to the team taking even more jump shots.

People saying lillard cant pass is false your looking at stats but if you actually see footage youll see he can move the ball with ease im not saying hes at marshalls level but he is easily good enough to run a team. At Weber his team needed him to score so he did... a lot at that. And if 6 and 11 are kept id say henson is a good idea but i think a better choice is someone who could atleast try to fit in broys shoes. Obviously he wont replace him but you know what im getting at. I think lamb, waiters, rivers, or trade the 11 down for the celtics 21 and 22 and pick ross and moultre if hes not there than fab melo. Or if they want to improve the wing even more pick ross and moe harkless and target guys like hibbert mcgee and kaman in the free agency.

MADISON (WSAU-Wheeler News) The Solidarity Singers moved their daily anti-Walker sing-along outside the State Capitol yesterday. The group normally moves from the Rotunda on Fridays, and when other groups get permits for Capitol events. Almost a dozen Republicans staged a pro-Walker rally in the Capitol, singing patriotic songs among other things. Organizer Deb Stein told WKOW-TV in Madison that the event was designed to quote, "take back the Capitol" from the regular protestors. She said the noon-time Solidarity sing-alongs disrupt those who work in the statehouse, and those opposed to Walker should express their views at the ballot box come November of next year. Stein said her group plans four other Capitol rallies.
The Solidarity Singers have refused to get the required state permits for Capitol gatherings, saying they should not have to get government approval to protest the government.

Cdla la Cogra av Carlos Julio Arosemena km 3 1/2 m, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Distancia desde el centro: 2.6km
Iguanazu is a guest house established in view of the increasing demand for comfortable, cosy, safe and economical accommodation in Guayaquil , a place created to offer you the best of the Ecuadorian Costa's hospitality and to make you feel at home despite the distance.
Its owner is Erika Babinsky , who has undertaken many backpacking adventures herself across South America and Europe and had the chance to stay at different guest houses, youth hostels, inns, and the like. There she was able to appreciate and enjoy different kinds of accommodations and felt just home with people from other countries.
Erika, upon realizing that Guayaquil lacked these alternatives, has created a space that fulfills these characteristics.
At IGUANAZÚ we find ourselves surrounded by nature and bird singing, as we are located on the Cerro San Eduardo, a place that the Guayaquil City Hall has recently designated as a Natural Reserve where it plans to develop an ecotouristic project.
We are located in the north of the city, just two blocks away from the Miraflores neigborhood and a few from Urdesa , very popular due to its many restaurants.
The Guayaquil International Airport and the Terminal Terrestre (bus station) are just 15 minutes away from IGUANAZÚ , from which you could just walk towards the renovated Malecón del Salado and the Avenida 9 de Octubre, the city's main traffic artery.
The way out to the Ecuadorian coastline is just down toward the Avenida Principal Carlos Julio Arosemena , two blocks from the way into IGUANAZU.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- Authorities rushed to the scene of a reported stabbing early Monday in North Spokane.
Authorities said it happened around 2:30 a.m. on the 8400 block of North Nevada at the Cedar Creek Village Apartments.
Police said someone interrupted a car prowler and somehow that ended in a stabbing. They said the details were unclear as to exactly how it happened or who got stabbed.
Medics took one person to the hospital with a minor stab wound to the upper right arm. They did not release whether there were any arrests.

The Vancouver Canucks and the Washington Capitals are going to meet up at the Stanley Cup Finals. The NHL will need more red light bulbs as scoring will be up. The Dallas Stars and the Anaheim Ducks will see increased production from their top line. Roberto Luongo and Alexander Ovechkin lead the NHL this season. These are just a few predictions for the 2010-11 season.
Here are the other predictions for the upcoming NHL season from Fantasy Hockey Coach.
10. Stars Align for James Neal and Loui Eriksson:
James Neal is training this off-season with Gary Roberts and we all know how that impacted Steven Stamkos last season. Don't expect a 50-goal season from Neal just yet but he will definitely score 40-plus goals this year. Loui Eriksson has quietly improved over each of the last three seasons and watch for him to continue this trend, as he and Neal both will score 40-plus goals and 80-plus points.
9. Zenon Konopka: This goon can score:
Zenon Konopka led the NHL in penalty minutes last year and will defend his title again this year; however Konopka will display his scoring touch with the Islanders. The Isles don't have a lot of scorers so if Konopka can replicate what he did in the AHL he could easily pot 10 goals this season. In five AHL seasons Konopka never scored less then 17 goals and scored 20 or more twice.
8. The return of "Alex the Great"
Ovechkin failed to defend the "Rocket" Richard trophy last year and hasn't won the Art Ross Trophy in two seasons but that will change this year as Ovechkin plays a more controlled game and wins both trophies. Ovechkin will once again score 60-plus goals.
7. Finally, this is the year for the Canucks and Capitals!
Fans in Vancouver and Washington have been disappointed year after year with early exits from the Stanley Cup playoffs. At the start of each season Canucks and Capital fans get all giddy thinking that this is finally the year, well it is finally here. The Canucks are going to win the Presidents Trophy this year as they are in the weakest division in the NHL (think Detroit back a few years ago). The Stanley Cup finals will showcase the Canucks against the Capitals, however Canada will have to wait another year for the Cup as the Capitals win in six.
6. Anaheim Duck: The Flying V.
The not so "Mighty" Ducks will struggle this year without Scott Niedermayer but they do have one of the best lines in the NHL. The line of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan combine for a high scoring, gritty first line. With the distraction of the Olympics gone these three Olympians can focus on their NHL season and it will be career years for all three. If he can stay healthy Getzlaf will break the 100-point mark this year.
5. The NHL in 4-D (Mike Green, Shea Weber, Drew Doughty and Anton Babchuk):
We all know about the goal scoring ability of Mike Green, Shea Weber and Drew Doughty but how many people remember Anton Babchuk and what he did in the NHL. Before Babchuk jumped to the KHL last season he scored 16 goals in 72 games in the 2008-09 season. All four of these defensemen will score 20 or more goals this season.
4. NHL going to need more red light bulbs:
The NHL is slowing moving out of the defensive/trapping era and back into a more exciting, offensive era as seen in the 1980's. Seven players scored 40 or more goals last year, and that number will more then double this season as we could see close to 20 players scoring 40 or more goals. Veterans like Jarome Iginla and Eric Staal return to form, Daniel Sedin will finally score 40 while young stars like Eirksson, Neal, Phil Kessel, Anze Kopitar, John Tavares, Nicklas Backstrom will all reach the 40 goal plateau.
3. Great save Roberto Luongo:
Now before you say this is a homer pick lets look at the situation that Roberto Luongo and the Canucks are in.Vancouver has finally hired a full-time goalie coach this will make a huge difference, as Luongo will be held more accountable and get more attention from the coaching staff. The Canucks are in the weakest division so that means more games against weaker opponents. The 'Nucks also brought in Dan Hamhuis and Keith Ballard to give the Canucks one of the deepest top-six blue lines in the league. All this adds up to a career year for Luongo who will lead the NHL in wins and shutouts.
2. And the Calder Trophy goes to P.K. Subban:
Subban came into a pressure filled situation last year during the Stanley Cup playoffs and shined. Most nights Subban was the Canadiens best defenseman, scoring eight points in 14 playoff games. Subban is an explosive, offensive defenseman who can carry the puck end to end to bring fans out of their seats. Subban will score 45+ points and win the Calder Trophy.
1. Eight Players hit the century mark.
Not since the 1995-96 season has the NHL seen this many players score 100-plus points. Last year only four players (Sedin, Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and Nicklas Backstrom) scored 100-plus points. This season four more players will join those guys to give us eight players who score 100 or more points. Getzlaf, Stamkos and Daniel Sedin and will break this mark for the first time in their careers, while Evgeni Malkin makes a return to the century total in 2010-11.

On "Side Hustles" and Being Your Own Boss
Every time I make it "around the horn" to celebrate another successful year of consulting, speaking, and writing, I get a bit reflective about the journey. As if on cue, Dustin Ramsdell from the The Student Affairs Spectacular Podcast, invited me to do an interview about my endeavors.
Here's the full audio interview where I go into detail about my journey as a student affairs professional / higher education consultant. I manage to throw in some thoughts on work/life balance as well as some insight into what my typical day is all about.
Spoiler alert: life is great, work and life aren't a dichotomy, and it's been 4 years since I started doing this work full-time. Thanks Dustin for giving me some time on your show.
8 Speaking/Consulting Engagements in February
This month has been jam-packed with speaking and consulting engagements. One of my favorite moments on this month-long set of trips was when the Chancellor of Indiana University Southeast took a picture of one of my slides during my social media / digital identity presentation.
Digital Identity Keynote at Curry College
I started 2013 off with a digital identity talk at Curry College for their Career Services Conference for Seniors. They were an awesome group! I've included the video of my talk, my slides, and a Storify from the event:
Getting Radical at the Big Ideas in Higher Education Conference
The most-commented, most-discussed post that I've ever written for Inside Higher Ed was last year's "Where Are the Radical Practitioners" entry. It quickly collected far more comments than I had expected, and I made the decision not to answer any of them due to the epic amount of time that it would've taken to constructively engage with all of them. Out of frustration and needing to vent, I did write up a quick "pseudo addendum" and posted it to this blog as "Radical and Student Affairs."
What happened after that was an intriguing journey as I was asked to talk about being radical in student affairs at the Big Ideas in Higher Education Conference. In hindsight, I don't think I really needed the social media aspect of my Big Ideas talk. Next time!
Unlike any other conference that I spoke at last year, 99% of Big Ideas featured speakers weren't employed in higher education. It made for a fascinating event. My favorite part of the Big Ideas experience was meeting so many cool speakers. Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere and I had a great chat about our appreciation for retro Saucony sneakers. Amber Rose Johnson gave a slam poetry reading that gave me chills. And then there was Dayna Steele…well, she's a legit rockstar! The full slide deck and video of my talk is after the jump.

Mashable – Social Media Day Boston
So this post is amazingly late. However, here it is… Last summer, I was asked to be on a social media panel for Mashable's Social Media Day in Boston. The topic for the panel was on building brands with social media. Taking place at Boston University, the panel was moderated by BU's Steve Quigley. It was my first time working with Steve and I was thoroughly impressed. He's a PR professor at BU and I hope his students soak up as much of his wisdom as they possibly can. Joining me on the panel were Tamsen Webster and Tyler Cyr. Tamsen knows everything about social media. I'm serious. Tyler does social media for Dunkin' Donuts…I didn't have the heart to tell him that I'm a Starbucks guy. I was thrilled to be representing higher education and to just listen to all of the knowledge that Steve, Tamsen, and Tyler dropped at Social Media Day Boston. Remember, if you go to a party, engage in a conversation..the same thing goes with social media. The full video from our conversation is after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
The Mobile Campus Revolution: It's Not Rocket Science, It's Star Wars
In addition to writing a couple of blog posts for InsideHigherEd while at Blackboard World, I also managed to put on a session about "The Mobile Campus Revolution."
The fine folk from echo360 were on hand to record my talk with their lecture capture tech.
In order to embed the lecture capture content, I had to embed it in a separate page:

AACRAO Technology Conference Plenary
Slides from my recent talk at the AACRAO Technology Conference in Chicago.
Here's part of the description from my talk…I covered a lot in 60 minutes!
Technology: Where are we today? Where are we going tomorrow?
Responsive web design, mobile apps, early alert systems, "big" data, privacy and social media are all topics that are extremely relevant to the work of admissions and registrars professionals.
However, regardless of the technology tools, we have to remember this too:
So many of our technology challenges in #HigherEd stem from issues w/ organizational culture & change management. #tech12

Mobile + Higher Education + Ewoks at #BBW12
It's official…I'll be speaking at Blackboard's annual users conference – BbWorld – in New Orleans. The topic for this talk is mobile + higher education. And, because I'm such an uber nerd, I'll also be doing my best to incorporate Star Wars into my 55 minute talk. The kind folk at Blackboard wrote up a blog post intro'ing my participation…Blackboard Mobile is definitely a cool segment! Here's the session description:
The Mobile Campus Revolution: It's Not Rocket Science, It's Star Wars
Want to better engage your current (and prospective) students? Building bigger Death Stars is not the answer – instead, be a better Ewok! Eric Stoller is a nationally known thought leader, speaker, author, consultant and blogger in the areas of higher education, student affairs, and technology. Join this avowed student affairs radical as he discusses the human-centered technology revolution and mobile's critical role at the center of the student experiences on campus.
May the force be with you!
Be Different, Be Daring, Be Bold
On a whim, I picked up a copy of the recent edition of the Atlantic while in a long-forgotten airport terminal. The cover provoked me by implying that Facebook was making us lonely. Always looking for things that challenge my thinking, I gladly dove into the magazine. Surprisingly, the article that really resonated with me the most in the mag was a profile of Jonathan Blow, titled "The Most Dangerous Gamer." Blow is wicked smart and he's kind of a smartass. Both are qualities that I appreciate. The profile is exceptionally captivating. However, the last paragraph connected with my head and heart like an underwater sonic boom. Chills and moist eyes. Resonance.
Which, in a sense, is just what he is—a spiritual seeker, questing after truth in an as-yet-uncharted realm. These are the terms in which he sees his art. "People like us who are doing something a little different from the mainstream have each picked one direction that we strike out in into the desert, but we're still not very far from camp," he told me. "There's just a huge amount of territory to explore out there—and until you have a map of that, nobody can say what games can do."
I recently gave a talk on "Influencing Student Affairs By Quitting My Job" at the 140cuse conference. I hope that what I am doing, what I have done, is different. I've picked a direction and I've struck out on a journey that has no simplistic rulebook.
Jonathan Blow does what he does because it feels right. He sees things differently and then acts upon that vision. Pretty inspirational stuff. Think about it.
CAMEX 2012: Creating Customer Connections with Social Media
Slides from my social media educational session at this year's CAMEX event in Salt Lake City, Utah. I gave a 60 minute talk about how campus stores can use social media for strategic communications and marketing. Additionally, I led more than 14 hours of social media consultation sessions with campus store representatives.
Resources from both my talk and consulting sessions are available after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Among national media sorts, Scott Cullen at tsn's 'off-season game plan' features are outstanding: thorough, heavy on advanced stats and with enough projection to make for genuinely interesting reading. Cullen is a frequent guest on my radio show, and I hope to have him on in the next week or so, but wanted to discuss some of the points he made in this year's edition of the Oilers Off-season game plan.
The article is here, and Cullen's most interesting capgeek user-generated roster is here.
Cullen's use of shot differential and other advanced stats to make his points is sensational, and because he's looking at the right things (imo) his conclusions are sound and his solutions reasonable. We've been watching and monitoring msm for signs of advanced stats usage, so an article that uses them to establish team needs and then solutions is worthy of an ovation.
Cullen's conclusions about this Oilers group:
- The Oilers should get help up front from Maxim Lapierre and Dainus Zubrus
- Sign Mark Streit for the blue
- Add Jose Theodore to the goaltending depth chart
- Trade Hemsky
- Buy out Horcoff
- Elevate Klefbom to the NHL
Now, we all have our own lists (my solutions are Boyd Gordon, Viktor Stalberg, Streit, Khudobin, keeping Hemsky and Horcoff, respectively) but the point is Cullen's post could appear on any respected Oilers blog and be treated as an intelligent, reasoned assessment of need and solution. Do that for all 30 teams and I'd say you're bordering on genius.
Outstanding work, with a hat tip for being savvy and using behind the net and the Vollman sledgehammer to drive the point home.
The Barons won last night, Tanner House took a hit and was knocked out of the game. That article also details a $50,000 donation from the Barons, the league and players (proceeds from the game) to help in the OKC recovery.
Over at Oilers Nation I wrote an item on Sam Gagner (MacT Job 1: Signing Samwise) and it got some nice response. One of the exchanges was with my good friend speeds and it got me thinking about length and term. Here are our viewpoints:
- Diehard: LT, what would you be comfortable with? Would you do 5/6 years at cap hit 4.75?
- Lowetide: I'd be fine with $4.5M times 4 or 5. The length may seem to be severe, but he's young and should cover.
- speeds: Severe? If Gagner goes UFA, there is only a small chance IMO that he doesn't get a 7 year deal if he wants to sign for that long in the summer of 2014, assuming nothing out of the ordinary next season.
- Lowetide: 7 years? I like Gagner a lot, but seven years is a long, long time.
He would also be the youngest UFA of all time, according to MacT (group 3 UFA, I'm assuming he meant), if he becomes unrestricted next summer.
I don't disagree that 7 years is a long time, but it's an unusual situation. Gagner would be 31 when that hypothetical 7 year deal, signed next summer, would be over.
What say you?
This morning at 10 on the Lowdown with Lowetide (Team 1260), we'll be talking Oilers and off-season during extended open line time. Scheduled to appear:
- James Mirtle from the Globe and Mail. We'll talk NHL playoffs, coaching changes and speculate about off-season movement.
- Travis Yost will join us to talk about free agency, the Coyotes summer and Ottawa's run.
- Scott Taylor from the Huddle.co will talk Jets, CFL and Blue Jays.

Americans eat an average of 22 tablespoons of sugar each day. Excess sugar has been linked to weight gain, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. But giving it up isn't easy.When it comes to fitness, Anne-Rose Baker of Cumming is a bit of a heavy lifter. A competitive cheerleader growing up, the 31-year-old high school English teacher works out at CrossFit TriForce with her husband Patrick, for fun. As part of a gym competition, the two tried to give up sugar using the new book The 21 Day Sugar Detox."I think just the idea of being told you can't have something, I feel like mentally your body is going to want it more," Anne-Rose said.Patrick joined the detox to support Anne-Rose, but then found out no sugar meant no beer -- no alcohol period -- on Georgia football weekends."I was, like, 'Wow...This 21 days is probably going to be tougher than I thought it was going to be," Patrick said.There are lots of "no" foods: no peas, no white potatoes, no pasta, no chips, no corn, no bread, no bagels, no cake, no crackers, no sodas – including diet sodas – and no fruit. So what can they eat?"Pretty much any kind of meat," Anne-Rose said. Other "yes" foods include about 30 vegetables, lots of fish, some nuts, whole dairy and unsweetened coffee and tea."It was a roller coaster, it was a total roller coaster. The first week, I felt awful," said Anne-Rose. Patrick agreed, "We started on a Saturday, and that first Sunday I was just laying in a fetal on the couch the whole time."That first weekend, both their football teams bite the dust."Let's see. I think he had to go through two Georgia losses without beer," said Anne-Rose.But do we really need to go this far to detox from sugar?Emory internist Dr. Sharon Horesh-Bergquist said that treating sugar like a toxin -- you give up and then back -- kind of misses the point."I think a person needs to follow a good lifestyle as a good lifestyle," Dr. Horesh-Bergquist said. "It's not something you do for a short amount of time and feel that you've purged yourself of all the bad food that you ate before. I think it's something you have to maintain."But by the second week sugar-free, Anne-Rose and Patrick were getting the hang of it. And after 21 days: the moment of truth. Anne-Rose lost 5 pounds, while Patrick lost 10. While they said they liked the newfound energy, they don't know if it was enough to swear off sugar completely. "But I think the best thing is I now know how to eat and that's basically something for life," Anne-Rose said.If you want to cut back on sugar without going cold turkey, try cutting back on the processed foods you eat -- meaning all the stuff that comes already made for you in a bag or a box. Also, increase fresh foods that come out of the ground, like vegetables and fruits.

Today marks 20 years since the Rwandan genocide during which approximately 800,000 people lost their lives. Many MSF staff were among the dead. For the first time MSF is sharing its internal communications during the genocide and its aftermath with the public. These reports depict the struggles and humanitarian dilemmas that the organization faced internally. See MSF's Speaking Out Case Studies: http://speakingout.msf.org/en/genocide-of-rwandan-tutsi
Some 2.96 million people are currently displaced in DR Congo and many of them have no access to humanitarian assistance. Many communities are cut off from medical care due to poor infrastructure, displacement and conflict, and adequate assistance is not being provided in rural and conflict-affected areas by aid organizations and by the state. At the same time, violence against civilians, medical staff and property is commonplace, and health care providers are regularly required to suspend operations, leaving people deprived of the medical care they urgently need.

Roughly one in 10 people in Central African Republic (CAR) have been driven from their homes by violence that has overwhelmed the country since a coup in March 2013. "We are extremely concerned about the living conditions of the displaced," said Sylvain Groulx, MSF head of mission in CAR, "who are overcrowded in churches, mosques, or schools, or living in the bush with no access to health care, food, or water, and are threatened by epidemics. Much more needs to be done and it needs to be done now."

The view from an MSF vehicle in Central African Republic. The roads outside the capital Bangui are minimal, and during the rainy season impassable. MSF scaled up its projects in CAR when a coup d'état in March left communities with no access to any health care. Clinics were looted, health workers fled, and the loss of income made it impossible for people to pay for health care. MSF is providing treatment for HIV, malaria, malnutrition, and more.

The Indiana State Bar Association (ISBA) has completed its compilation of the 2012 Judicial Retention Poll responses. Results indicate overwhelming support, by ISBA members, of the two Indiana Supreme Court justices and four Indiana Court of Appeals judges seeking retention on the Nov. 6 Election Day ballot.
According to outgoing State Bar President C. Erik Chickedantz of Fort Wayne, "Earning the approval of more than eight out of 10 respondents to our retention poll is a show of strong support by Indiana's legal community for the jurists up for retention."
ISBA members were electronically surveyed four times from Sept. 17 through Oct. 12. Of the 9,342 members polled, nearly 1,400 cast ballots. "Armed with these results and the valuable information at the Indiana Courts retention website, the citizens of Indiana can and will make an informed decision on Election Day," concluded Chickedantz.
The yes/no retention results of the justices and judges (with their swearing in dates) are as follows:
Justice Robert D. Rucker (Nov. 19, 1999): Y-87.8%; N-12.2%; 1,388 votes cast
Justice Steven H. David (Oct. 18, 2010): Y-81.0%; N-19.0%; 1,377 votes cast
Judge John G. Baker (June 2, 1989): Y-83.6%; N-16.4%; 1,356 votes cast
Judge Nancy H. Vaidik (Feb. 7, 2000): Y-86.4%; N-13.6%; 1,337 votes cast
Judge Paul D. Mathias (March 30, 2000): Y-88.9%; N-11.1%; 1,302 votes cast
Judge Michael P. Barnes (May 22, 2000): Y-87.3%; N-12.7%; 1,302 votes cast
Appellate court judges face an approval vote in the first general election that occurs at least two years after their appointment, and every 10 years thereafter. Indiana voters will have an opportunity to cast their ballot concerning the judges' retention next month.

A Goldendoodle is a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross. Goldendoodles, also called Golden Poos, Goldie Poos, or Groodles, have been bred
in North America and Australia
since the early to mid-1990's
. As the smaller poodle hybrids had been such a success in filling the niche for small, allergy friendly family pets, Golden Retriever breeders decided to try a breeding with a standard poodle for a larger family pet. The quick rise of the popularity of Goldendoodles is due to the dogs themselves. They are a most marvelous hybrid.
The term 'Goldendoodle' appeared soon after the introduction of the Labradoodle by Wally Conron. The earliest known use of the name 'Goldendoodle' comes from the Neelands family in the U.S.A in 1992. The family started calling their dog, Sugar, a 'goldendoodle' in response to a question from a passerby who asked is that a labradoodle?. They replied, No, its a goldendoodle, and have referred to her as such ever since.
In Japanese
Pronunciation of "Goldendoodle" in Japan
"go-ruden do-doru"
Hybrid Vigour
& Goldendoodles
Most Goldendoodles are a first generation cross, and as such they exhibit
hybrid vigour
. This is a phenomenon in animal breeding referring to the fact that
the first cross between two unrelated purebred lines is healthier
and grows better than either parent line. The hybrid cross between these two parent breeds are terrific family dogs, friendly, intelligent, affectionate and easy to train.
With each successive generation, vigour is lost.
The Goldendoodle's ancestry along both parent lines is as hunters and water dogs. The physical appearance of the Goldendoodle runs anywhere from a shaggy-looking retriever to a curl-relaxed poodle, but usually it falls somewhere inbetween. The length when left unclipped grows to about 4-8 inches. The color of the coat can be cream, gold, apricot, chocolate, gray, black, parti or phantom. Most Goldendoodles have a Standard Poodle as a parent, and are standard sized.
Like many poodle crosses, most Goldendoodles are light to non-shedding, and most live easily with families with MILD allergies. - see
Dood Database
Families with moderate to severe allergies often find that Goldendoodle
can work well.
Miniature Goldendoodles
Those with a miniature or toy Poodle as a parent, are about 25-45 pounds and are called
Miniature Goldendoodles
Dr. Kate Schoeffel
Kate's Family Pets
in Australia
introduced the miniature
to North American Labradoodle & Goldendoodle breeders in
Active on the forums, Kate Schoeffel, an honours geneticist, Vet and the first breeder of pet Labradoodles in the world, provided expert guidance and support to the breeders of these new hybrids.
first generation (F1)
standard size Goldendoodle was the first to be bred. It is the product of a standard Poodle crossed with a Golden Retriever. Most first generation Goldendoodles either don't shed or shed lightly, and are compatible for most families with

is produced by crossing an F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle. These dogs will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with
A few breeders are breeding
second generation (F2) Goldendoodles
which are the product of a Goldendoodle crossed with another Goldendoodle.
For a more detailed description of the generations -

Height, Weight
The size of the Dood depends on its parentage. A general rule of thumb is to add both the parents weights together and divide by 2 to get an average adult weight on the puppies. Within any litter there may be puppies that fall above or below the projected adult weights.
- A Goldendoodle that is predicted to be 45 lbs or more at adulthood.
- A Goldendoodle that is predicted to be 30-45 lbs at adulthood.
- A Goldendoodle that is predicted to be 15-30 lbs at adulthood.
Some standard Goldendoodles have grown to more than 100 pounds.
Goldendoodles are an intelligent and obedient family companion. They are everybody's friend and devoted to their family. They are friendly towards children, other dogs and pets, and easy with strangers. They are social dogs, happiest when with people. Goldendoodles are likely to get into mischief and develop behavior problems if they spend most of their lives alone. Their intelligence, eagerness to please, and love of learning make them very easy to train. They are medium-to large sized family dogs with easy dispositions.
Living Conditions &
Goldendoodles require a moderate amount of exercise and their coats are generally low maintenance. They can live in the city or on a farm. They are social dogs and they are happiest when they are with people.
Health Concerns
As a hybrid cross they grow healthier and live longer than either parent line. The only genetic diseases they can be prone to would be those shared by both the Golden Retriever and the Standard Poodle. No Major Concerns. Minor Concerns - CHD, PRA, VonWillebrand's, Elbow and patella disorders.
Suggested tests - hip, eye and vWD.
Life Expectancy
About 15 years
As a hybrid cross, Goldendoodles will inherit fur that looks retriever-like, or poodle-like, but usually something in-between. Unclipped Goldendoodles will have hair about 4-7 inches long, shorter on the face and longer on the body, tail and legs. They require combing every few weeks. Depending on how often the dog is groomed, clipped Goldendoodles are groomed several times a year.
First Goldendoodle site on the internet
Blue Sterling put the word 'Goldendoodle' on the net and created the first online Goldendoodle and Labradoodle community. Blue started Goldendoodles.com in January of 2001 to popularize the marvelous Golden Retriever-Poodle hybrid, and to create a shared Doodle community - a place where both Goldendoodle and Labradoodle owners would be welcome.

Reasonable Expectations Review: 09-10 Goalies
The Edmonton Oilers believe in Jeff Deslauriers. How do we know? This season has been devoted (after the Khabibulin injury) to seeing if they can count on him as a #1 goalie into the future.
His results over a long period have suggested the answer is "no." JDD is about where Devan Dubnyk is: a legit prospect with enough ability to be in the mix for goaltending jobs, but also in need of some good fortune in order to establish himself in the show.
No matter, goalies who reach a certain level of experience often get a second, third or even fourth opportunity with different organizations. It's a case of "well, he has some experience and that other team must have seen something in him." When injury hits, and if you're in the mix, you've got a chance to play in the NHL once the resume says "big league experience."
Deslauriers has played in 46 NHL games and has gained some degree on infamy. He might end up having a career similar to men like Jason LaBarbera (4 organizations), Wade Flaherty (5 organizations), Corey Scwhab (4 organizations), Ty Conklin (6 organizations). Gary Smith played for 7 NHL teams.
I don't think the Oilers believe he'll be a journeyman goalie. Before the season was lost (and after the Khabibulin injury) there was a window of opportunity to trade for another goalie and the team chose not to do so. That train of thought reasonably suggests that the Oilers will be willing to run with JDD again next winter should Khabibulin break down again in 10-11.
It also points out that the Oilers clearly believe Dubnyk is a step behind. A small audition for the big western kid was hardly enough to prove himself and the fact that the team returned to Deslauriers so quickly again shows a bias for the Quebec goaler.
Here are the "reasonable expectations" I posted for each goalie before the season, compared to their current number. You can look at the original post by clicking on each G's name below.
- Khabibulin: Predicted- 48gp, 2.88 .914
- Khabibulin: Actual-18gp, 3.03 .909
Aside from the injury, Khabibulin's numbers aren't far off from reasonable expectation, but of course his injury is the story of the season at this position. I think the Oilers might be exploring a way to get out of this contract but if Khabibulin can play at all they'll be on the hook. It should be mentioned that there are rumors around the city that the veteran Russian is absolutely done, his injuries too severe to continue.
- Deslauriers: Predicted- 27gp, 3.19 .898
- Deslauriers: Actual- 36gp, 3.19 .900
That's pretty close to spot on. Deslauriers has some positives: he's durable, he's confident and he's young. I don't know what his ceiling is as a goalie but this season has given him that good fortune discussed above, with the question now being "has he taken advantage of it to the point the organization feels confidence in him moving forward?" My guess is they do.
- Dubnyk: Predicted- 7gp, 3.29 .899
- Dubnyk: Actual- 9gp, 4.17 .861
Numbers are off from the predicted total but in a very small sample. We can say that Dubnyk hasn't done enough to convince the coaching staff he should be used in tandem with JDD. The next question for him is "has he done enough to show he's worth keeping 3 goalies in 10-11?" or "would the organization run with JDD and DD if Khabibulin is done?" and I believe the answer in both cases is no.
