Makes about 4 cups
2 medium pumpkins, peeled and cut into small cubes (about ½ inch)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 heaping tablespoons golden raisins
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and micro planed or grated
1 cup canned San Marzano tomatoes, drained of their liquid and broken into small pieces
3 medium-size stalks celery, cut into thin rounds
1 tablespoon capers, drained
12 green olives, preferably Cerignola, pitted and chopped
1. Cook the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, toss the squash with the sugar half of the olive oil. Season with salt and stir in the oregano. Arrange the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and place it in the center of the oven. Cook until the squash is tender but still holds its shape and is somewhat firm, 15-20 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and the raisins. Set aside.
3. Assemble the caponata: Heat a medium skillet and add a little of the remaining olive oil. When it begins to smoke lightly, add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and cook until they are translucent, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, celery, capers and olives. Stir to blend. Refrigerate.
4. When the pumpkin is cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool. Stir it into the onion mixture. Stir in the raisins and vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Vol. 36 No. 36 Weber State College March 26, 1976 I: t: X" r Back to Harrison High? (T r rou Opportunities for Weber State professors to gain vital professional growth and development are not only limited, but may be intentionally withheld by the Administration. Signpost interviews this week also revealed that this situation has contributed to deteriorating quality of instruction, lowered public opinion of the college, and curtailed opportunities for Weber graduates. "Because teaching is the primary responsibility of institutions of higher learning," reads a Board of Regents Statement of Policy, each faculty member must stay "informed and knowledgeable about developments in his field.". To achieve this, "College teachers are expected to keep abreast of advances in their field by reading journals, attending seminars, traveling to conventions, etc.," explains a recent Exercise your right ! Academic Information Service publication. Signpost research disclosed that over half of the $65,000 allocated to . WSC for professional travel was awarded to Administration members, leaving only $92.76 per year for each faculty member. "That is tokenism at its worst," says Dr. Kim Wheatley of the Psychology Department. "It is enough for an overnight trip to Elko," where no academic . seminars are held, Wheatly confined. Weber professors carry a higher than average teaching load, higher than most Utah institutions, reports Dr. Perry Larsen, head of Research and Development at Weber. This makes release time for research very difficult tcTobtain. That means only evenings and weekends are available to most professors for research, and that, says Dr. Don Murphy of the ARE WSC PROFS BEING GAGGED?: Despite a feeling of academic classroom, some teachers at Weber feel that research is being stifled. Geology Department, "leads to a lot of divorces." Even though the Administration, in their own-publications, voices support for professional growth activities, little concrete support can be found. "They simply refuse to tell us the rules, so we can't even play their game," shrugged Dr. Wheatley. As a result, Dr. Wheatley and Dr. T.R. Reddy of the Political Science Department, have sent a joint memorandum requesting specific policies regarding support for the faculty. Additionally, since there is some evidence that WSC Admin, officials have not requested appropriate funds from the Legislature, this memorandum includes a request for. documentation of any such requests. Previous responses of the growth stifled Administration to such faculty inquiries have resulted in documents like the Faculty Senate minutes of Feb. 24, 1976, where interview responses by Pres. Bishop were printed. His answers have been characterized as "a study in non-answers" by one faculty member. Other experiences reported to the Signpost include two professors who have published 20 articles between them, and have not received one word of recognition from' an Administration supposedly committed to supporting such, distinct achievement. Surveys of students here have indicated that the "best" teachers are invariably the ones who are current in their fields, usually doing research, and able to communicate their excitement to their students. Recent statistics, however, show that 63 photo by Stephen Matlow freedom in the Vote today i percent of Weber's faculty hold other jobs. This fact was viewed as a distinct indication of stagnation, apathy and disinterest. "Teaching is a nice part-time job," as one prof succinctly put it. Another area greatly affected is Weber's stature in the community it serves. A Weber graduate revealed that in a local planning commission meeting a proposal to award a contract for a study to Weber was rejected, with reference to "Harrison High" not being capable of such an undertaking. "The worst part, as I perceive it," says Dr. Kim Wheatley, "is the effect is has, on the students who are not able to participate in dynamic research or inquiry, and are therefore at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to competing with students from other schools for jobs and graduate school admission. One physics professor has even recommended to some of his superior students that they leave Weber State to further their professional growth. Oop In Tuesday's issue we made an error when we stated on page 12 that a fee of $10 would be charged for late registration beginning that day. The $10 fee begins on the sixth day of instruction, next Tuesday, March 30, and applies only to full-time students. Part-time students will be assessed only $5 for late registration. Although it is not vindication for our own error, we cannot resist pointing out that even the Spring Quarter schedule made an error by printing their statement about late payments verbatim from the Winter catalogue; it states that late fees will be assessed on Jan. 13. We also feel the need to clarify a statement concerning Financial V.P. candidate Kimball Hale made on page 2 of the last issue; Hale has a 4.0 GPA only in his major area. His overall GPA is not 4.0

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

|Interesting Fact:
|Communication is key and during quarterly company-wide meetings, the staff has the opportunity to ask questions or make any recommendations. Also, the company has an open door policy where employees are allowed to share issues or concerns with the executive management on a daily basis if necessary.
|Best Practices #1:
|During our quarterly company-wide meetings, our staff has the opportunity to ask questions or make any recommendations. Also, on a daily basis, we have an open door policy where employees are allowed to see executive management. To encourage this interaction, we are also in the process of scheduling a lunch bunch which will consist of a group of employees who will go out to lunch as a way to get to know each other.
|Best Practices 2:
|We have high expectations for those that are in leadership positions at ProService Hawaii. The expectation is not only to ensure each department manager is performing in their position. But, we expect our leaders to be constantly thinking of ways to do things better. Effective leaders should be able to develop and enhance their staffs abilities by taking the time to coach and mentor. We expect our leaders to have an open door policy where employees are free to bring-up suggestions or issues of concern. Along with having the necessary background for their position, our leaders must also have excellent people skills so they can effectively communicate with others. Communication is definitely a key component to the success of our company.

Should you buy a home that's been vacant?
It may seem like a great deal, but be aware of possible expensive repairs lurking inside.
A for-sale house that's been vacant may look like a bargain, but buyers should be cautious, because expensive problems often lurk inside homes that have been unoccupied for some time.
A home can become vacant due to a marriage, job relocation, death or other life event. But vacancies today are more often due to a bank foreclosure or short sale in which the lender accepts less than the mortgage balance. It's these bank-owned properties — sometimes called "real estate-owned," or REOs — that tend to be "problem homes," says David Tamny, owner of Professional Property Inspection in Columbus, Ohio, and 2010 president of the American Society of Home Inspectors in Des Plaines, Ill.
Vacant homes can suffer from a wide variety of ills due to neglect, deferred maintenance on the part of the previous cash-strapped homeowner, and vandalism, Tamny explains. Broken water pipes, stolen copper wiring, damaged appliances and mold are but a few examples of the potential problems that may await buyers of these homes.
The risks for buyers are front and center since the number and percentage of vacant for-sale homes has increased during the housing slump. More than 2.2 million for-sale houses in the U.S. were vacant in 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That figure was more than double the 1 million vacant for-sale homes in 2000. Vacant homes exist throughout the country, but the percentage of vacancies in 2008 was higher than the national average in the South, Midwest and West, and lower in the Northeast.
|Find a low mortgage rate
Turned-off utilities limit home inspection
Homebuyers typically hire a professional to conduct a visual inspection of the home and prepare a report on its condition. That's a wise precaution, but not even a well-qualified and thorough home inspector can see inside walls. Nor can an inspector assess the condition of a home's plumbing, electrical wiring, heating-and-cooling system or major appliances if the water, gas or electricity has been shut off.
"Buyers often don't understand that if there is no electricity, they are going to get a very limited inspection," Tamny says. "You could end up with a lot of surprises if you don't have those systems turned on prior to the inspection."
Swimming pools, which naturally are more common in such states as California, Arizona, Nevada and Florida — where foreclosure rates have been high -- are also a special concern if a home has been vacant. Some inspectors won't include a pool as part of a basic inspection. Others will include the pool, but again, it may be impossible for the inspector to check out the equipment if the utilities have been shut off.
"You probably will have to accept the pool (as-is because) it's unlikely that you'll be able to get the whole thing up and running just for the purpose of an inspection and then shut it back down," Tamny says. "You could have thousands of dollars in repairs."
As-is home purchase can be risky
Some banks have procedures in place that allow prospective buyers to turn on the utilities, but the buyer may be required to pay a deposit to the utility company and put his or her own name on the account, even though he or she doesn't own the vacant home. That inconvenience may prompt some buyers to forgo parts of the home inspection that can't be performed unless the utilities are on.
|Search foreclosure listings
That can be risky, because unanticipated repairs can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, and the buyer typically will have no recourse with the bank. That means the buyer will be stuck with whatever problems the house has.
"Buyers are attracted to a house because it's discounted from what it sold for a number of years ago and they are hoping to get a bargain. They don't always understand that sometimes the problems make up the difference between the cost of the house and what they are getting for a discount," Tamny says.
Vacancy may affect homeowners insurance
Homebuyers also should know that insurance companies may decline to issue a homeowners insurance policy until the agent looks at the vacant home, says Dick Luedke, a spokesman at State Farm in Bloomington, Ill. The agent's once-over isn't the same as a professional home inspection, but it can mean extra expense if the home is in poor condition.
- MSN Money: Personal income falls across America
"If the home is uninsurable, we wouldn't write the policy. If the problems just increase the risk of the potential of a future claim, then that might increase the premium," Luedke says.
A homeowners insurance policy also may require a vacancy endorsement, again at an extra charge, if the home will continue to be vacant for more than 30 days after the sale. If the vacancy is due to major repairs, a dwelling-under-construction rider may be necessary as well.

I guess Naramdo doesn't like America and thinks personal ambition is a lie, because that is what home ownership is all about. Yup you can be satisfied to have others fix your home and pretty much you live there at their will, not yours.
Buying an older home is as always an adventure, there will always be some unexpected problems. But isn't life just that an adventure and full of unfulfilled expectations? Personal pride in owning your own home, to raise your family in, using your own ingenuity to repair or remodel. For the less ambitiuous and lazy there is rental property, but don't call home ownership an "American Lie" call it what it is a dream, and Americans are dreamers.
I just had to respond to his comments.
As in any endeavor if you are not a expert hire people that are experts in their fields.
Always read the property disclosures and have a inspection performed.
Vacant homes are not a problem if you follow proper practices and exercise care and do your due diligence.
And always use a REALTOR you can ask for their NAR card or look on their business card for the "R" logo (trademark).
When I bought my house it had been a foreclosure and was empty for 2 years. It is a 100 year old house to begin with foundation problems that I knew about and of course old wiring. However, I did not expect to have every pipe break under the crawl space because there were signs everywhere that said the pipes had been winterized. I also did not expect there to be a ground hog living under the shed or giant ant hills throughout the property. But in retrospect having lived here for 10 months and put as much into it as I paid for it which was $25,000 I would not have wanted to live anywhere else. I have enjoyed all the headaches and laughs that we have had. It has been fun and painful all at the same time but since it is an old house just under an acreage and just outside the county line, it was what I needed for myself, my teenager and my 4 dogs.
All valid points, but mostly if you're buying an REO cash, then it's as is, period.
But if you're financing the purchase through FHA or conventional loans the banks now will demand that water and electric are on at the time of the inspection and appraisal so a proper assessment is made. Actually, with FHA now if there are light fixtures, outlets, or any plumbing fixtures missing it will request that those items be repaired so the appraiser can go back and verify that it is in "livable" condition before they approve the loan.
Most banks are also using FHA guidelines these days for their conventional loans.
Reason being that they don't want to take the risk of the new owner not being able to make all the necessary repairs and they end up with another bad loan in their hands.
There is another type of loan, which in my opinion is the safest if anyone is financing an REO, which is a rehab loan, in this case a GC makes an assessment of the damages and the amount needed for the repairs is then built into the loan to guarantee they will be made.
When that happens the buyer knows exactly all that needs to be fixed in the property.
Those loans take longer and are harder to get but worth the initial headache since it avoids surprises in the future.
But one is never completely void of surprises when it comes to home buying, even when purchasing new construction. Not much different from buying a car...just way more money.
Always get a home inspection, even on a newly built house. Get a home inspector with a reputation for being a 'deal breaker' if you can. Real estate agents hate these kinds but they are the best for the BUYER.
A lot of the foreclosures right now are in developments built during the bubble. Rapid construction, many shortcuts, unskilled labor, all contributed to shoddy construction. Many builders also run a mortgage co or have close ties with one, and steered buyers to predatory loans, even committed mortgage fraud.
Don't let anyone tell you that everyone who defaulted on these vacant h ouses was just a deadbeat or fool. Sure, some were. But, some were victims of mortgage fraud, and/or got stuck with a lemon house, an illusory warranty, and have no legal recourse because of the arbitration clause in the builder's and warranty's contracts.
I used to volunteer for a consumer org. Complaints on new homes grew every year. Then during the bubble they started including more mortgage fraud. When the prices started dropping form their artificially inflated highs, there was a drop in construction defect complaints. A lawyer I knew who handled construction defect cases told me that now they were getting foreclosures in these instances. Think about it--if you bought a new house that was a lemon AND you were upside down in a predatory loan, would you spend tens of thousands or more on lawyers, engineers, and repairs, or would you walk?
Get a good home inspector.
yes be very careful. but the short sale properties are held by banks and they are responsible for upkeep, maintenance, and taxes. the reason some of these properties are vacant for so long is the banks lawyers not caring. they get paid wether the home is sold or not. the real estate agents lose out by showing the property to many people and do not get a penny till it is sold. i know this from experience. i put in a full asking price offer on a short sale property, was pre-approved for the mortgage and was putting two thirds of the asking price as downpayment. that was june 2009....the property was sold this month for $10,000 less than i offered.
evidently the banks do not need the money

Haircuts for a cause
Sep 5, 2013
News-Register Staff
Not only is Lomantini planning to visit all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, he's planning to do haircuts at 50 salons in the 50 different states in 50 days.
He launched his tour Aug. 1 in Augusta, Maine. He plans to wrap it up Sept. 19 in Wichita, Kan.
Locally, haircuts are being offered in exchange for a donation of an least $20 to Yamhill County Dog Control. Vendors will maintain booths in association with the cause and a trio of raffles will be held.
The tour is being sponsored by BarkAID. It was founded by Lomantini, owner of Lomantini the Salon in Wichita, to raise money and awareness for homeless animals.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred. They can be made by calling Diane Welch at 503-560-4669.

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning Valley Gay/Straight Coalition meets from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at The Lemon Grove Café, 110 Federal St., where it will review its March newsletter, organize a trip to Columbus for the Dump DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) Day, and create a committee for a May fundraiser.
On March 26 and 27, the Supreme Court will judge the constitutionality of DOMA. Support Marriage Equality in Ohio is attempting to counteract the protest by organizing an Ohio "Dump DOMA Day" on March 23. The coalition will plan transportation to the Columbus event at their Saturday meeting.
Would it be politically incorrect to call The Mahoning Valley Gay/Straight Coalition offensive? They are surely not my cup of tea.

From AGI to EITC: Tax terms you need to know
If you're filling out your own tax return, here are some terms you need to know to get the deductions to which you're entitled and cut your tax bill.
This post is by Lisa Greene-Lewis at U.S. News and World Report.
It's officially tax season, and even if you're using tax software to make preparing your taxes easier, you may still want to know what some of the common tax terms flying around mean. Here is a handy glossary:
1040: The official income tax return form printed and distributed by the IRS. There are three versions of the tax form: 1040 (if you're self-employed and/or have itemized deductions), 1040EZ (for single and joint filers with no dependents) and 1040A (you must have taxable income of $100,000 or less and claim the standard deduction).
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI): Your gross income, minus specific adjustments to income, such as contributions made to a traditional individual retirement account or for student loan interest payments. Your AGI directly influences your eligibility to claim many available tax deductions and credits.
Affordable Care Act (ACA): The health care reform law that expands access to health coverage for all Americans and introduces new protections for people who already have health insurance. The requirement to purchase health insurance does not affect 2012 or 2013 tax returns, as the law will take effect in 2014.
Dependent: Someone you support and you can claim as a dependent exemption on your tax return. For each dependent you claim, the exemption knocks $3,800 off your taxable income in 2012 and $3,900 in 2013. Dependents can also make you eligible for other credits and deductions, such as the Child Tax Credit worth up to $1,000 and the Earned Income Tax Credit worth up to $5,891.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): A refundable tax credit for people who earn low to moderate incomes. You may be able to claim a credit worth up to $5,891 even if no income tax was withheld from your pay, but you must file a tax return to receive the credit.
Exemption: Amount that taxpayers can claim for themselves, their spouses and eligible dependents. Each exemption is subtracted from your AGI before tax is figured on the remaining taxable income. You can take one exemption for each person you claim as a dependent, even if your dependent files his or her own tax return. A dependent is either a qualifying child or a qualifying relative.
Filing status: Your status determines the size of your standard deduction and the tax rates that apply to your income. For tax purposes, the filing statuses are single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household and widow or widower.
Itemized Deduction: Expenses that fall under a long list of allowable IRS tax deductions, including dental and medical expenses, charitable contributions and business use of a home or a car. You cannot take itemized deductions if you claim the standard deduction.
Standard Deduction: A fixed dollar amount that can be subtracted from your AGI to reduce the amount of taxes you owe. The standard deduction you can take is determined by your filing status, such as single or married filing jointly.
If you use tax software, you may not need to know what these terms mean, but hopefully this tax glossary killed some of your curiosity and made you a little more tax savvy this season.

I love my new towel bar set. The product is very high quality. I have oil-rubbed bronze finishes in my new bathroom and this was the perfect addition for the perfect price. I couldn't get all these things in a set at the big box stores without spending more money. This set has the perfect combo of the items I needed. Don't spend more on other products, this one is perfect.
They look very nice and feel strong not cheap. Very easy to put up. I will order more.
We are putting these in a new house and have not actually installed them yet. They look great and I will install them when the house is complete. It was an excellent price. I shopped everywhere for towel bars and these were a great value and quality.
My husband and I really love the color of the Oil Rubbed Bronze set. We purchased two for our spare bathrooms. We get a lot of compliments on them.
These accessory sets are a great value, in my opinion. I feel that the quality was just as high or higher than the bath accessories stocked at hardware stores, yet the total cost of this set is much lower. I bought two sets and used the two longer towel bars in my master bath and then used the shorter towel bars in secondary bathrooms. I think the bars look very nice installed and I would buy them again.
Exactly as described. Super fast shipping. Easy to install
Good Quality a must see to appreciate Would definatly buy again
Great set for the price. The finish is really nice. Easy to mount. I've been using them for 6 mos now, split pieces between my powder room and hall way. I would buy this again if I need a Bronze set. Compare to similar items ****, price is much better. Though there are higher quality towel bar (strength) available at a much higher price ***. Overall, I'm happy with the products, fair price for the quality. Would recommend it to friends.
After extensive shopping both in stores and online, I discovered these bathroom fixtures on Overstock. Not only are they classy looking, but they were very affordable. I am thrilled!
Great product! I used these in 2 renovated bathroom and love them.

Work for Hire
Work for hire is a simple idea: you tell me what you want done, we wrangle out what it means and what the rules of engagement are, we agree on an hourly rate and on a contract, and we're ready to go. I work, you pay. What I do on your dime is owned by you. I do everything in my power to ensure that what you own is not needlessly leaked or made available to anyone and you let me use the tools and techniques I think are best to make whatever it is you want come into being.
Not all kinds of work are appropriate for this kind of engagement. Software products that include substantial intellectual property concerns, and which are being sold as products instead of services typically do not fit well with this approach.
Furthermore, I tend to use open-source software, either of my own devising, or by other good hackers on the 'net. In some situations, this might be a concern for a client which cannot be addressed in a simple work-for-hire arrangement.
My answer to these concerns is that not every client is right for The Clue Factory, and vice versa. I have found that by setting limits on the kinds of engagements I take, I create a more pleasant situation for those involved in the engagements that I do take on, and it all works out.

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Folic acid
Folic acid, a B vitamin, helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord when taken before and during early pregnancy. The neural tube is the part of a developing baby that becomes the brain and spinal cord. When the neural tube does not close properly, a baby is born with a very serious birth defect called a neural tube defect (NTD).
We urge all women of childbearing age (even if they're not trying to get pregnant) to take the recommended amount of folic acid daily. This is especially important because studies have shown that upward of 50 percent of all pregnancies are unplanned.
What you can do:
Folic acid is available in most multivitamins, as a folic acid-only supplement and in some foods. Take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid every day before pregnancy and during early pregnancy, as part of a healthy diet.
Eat a healthy diet that includes foods that contain folate, the natural form of the vitamin.
- Fortified breakfast cereals
- Lentils
- Asparagus
- Spinach
- Black beans
- Peanuts
- Orange juice (from concentrate is best)
- Enriched breads and pasta
- Romaine lettuce
- Broccoli
Folic Acid Is Good for Mom and Dad, Too
Folic acid is important for everyone in maintaining health. It plays an important role in the production of red blood cells. Folic acid may also help prevent certain health problems; research is still being done.

As good as my Turtle Beach set
This review is from: TRITTON Trigger Stereo Headset For Xbox 360, by Mad Catz
Pros: These have great sound on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3
Cons: No bass adjustment like the Turtle Beaches I own (PX21).
Other Thoughts: I owned my Turtle Beach PX21s for a few months and had minor issues with them buzzing through the mic when the charge cable for the controller was plugged in. I bought these and have no problems with that. I like them so much I bought a set for a friend for Christmas.

Each day this week, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution takes a quick look at a matchup in the SEC Championship game. Today: Alabama's passing offense vs. Georgia's passing defense.
Alabama passing offense
Key stats: Quarterback AJ McCarron has completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 2,507 yards and a school-record 25 touchdowns and, most impressively, has thrown only two interceptions in 265 passes.
Season high point: Trailing LSU 17-14, Alabama took over on its own 28-yard line with 1:34 to play. McCarron led the Crimson Tide to a game-winning touchdown in 49 seconds, completing passes of 18, 15, 11 and 28 yards.
Season low point: McCarron threw his only two interceptions of the season against Texas A&M, the Tide's lone loss.
Name to know: Freshman Amari Cooper is Alabama's leading receiver, with 45 catches for 767 yards and eight touchdowns.
Georgia passing defense
Key stat: The Bulldogs rank second in the SEC in pass defense, giving up 174.4 passing yards per game.
Season high point: Georgia's defense had two interceptions and five sacks (three by Jarvis Jones) in holding Florida without a touchdown for the first time in the series since 1988.
Season low point: Tennessee passed for 281 yards, the most against Georgia this season. (But the Bulldogs intercepted three passes in that game, two by Sanders Commings.)
Name to know: Safety Bacarri Rambo has 16 career interceptions, tied for the UGA record.

Biggest weakness of Georgia's passing defense is that we give up big plays too often. It frequently comes when we're blitzing…the defensive backs "cheat up" a little, since the linebackers are blitzing…and a fast receiver can run right by 'em. If the blitz doesn't result in a sack or a hurried throw, we get burned deep.

@David Granger… as is the case with every team. If you can't get to the qb when when you bring a blitz you are going to get hit with a big play more often than not.
November 29th, 2012
1:10 pm
I was jealous of Tech's '09 team, who won the ACC and went to a BCS bowl. UGA was in the start of a couple of bad years.
But I damn sure didn't go on GT blogs, POSING AS IOWA FANS!
This has to be the most embarrassing behavior ever for the Tech fan base.
November 29th, 2012
1:11 pm
David Granger – that happens to everyone if the blitz fails. DB's can keep coverage for only finite period. That's why good pass rushers are essential. Any QB at this level can hit open targets when there is no pressure. The question on Saturday is what kind of pressure Bama can bring against Murray. The Dawgs will get to McCarron a few times for certain. Remember Bama's line has given more sacks than anyone would expect. Bama has had trouble getting to the passer against LSU and A&M. If they have to resort to blitzes to get to Murray they will need stellar play from their secondary. They haven't gotten it against the top level offenses they've played against.
November 29th, 2012
1:13 pm
We get some pressure on A.J and our chances to win go way up ! Go Dogs !

Joey – where are the Iowa imposters showing up? I haven't seen any.
November 29th, 2012
1:19 pm
AJ was held to abut a 140 passer rating against both SEC ranked teams he faced, so look for SEC ranked defenses to continue to frustrate him.
November 29th, 2012
1:24 pm
Haha. NCDawg, my point was/is, GT was in line to play Iowa in the Orange Bowl in '09, and I didn't go on any of their boards posing as a Iowa fan, as they are posing as Bama fans on here – by the dozens.
November 29th, 2012
1:39 pm
DOH! missed that part… I dunno if they are just posing though. If so the imposters are doing a pretty good job of acting like football worshiping, Bear/Saban idolators. LOL
November 29th, 2012
1:58 pm
THIS is the match-up that concerns me the most. And the one that will probably determine the game.
November 29th, 2012
2:00 pm
Techies are easy to spot NCDawg. Bama fans are confident, but don't care about our schedule, what happened in SC, what happened last year, etc.
When somebody starts yapping about who we've played, starts calling us trailer trash, our record vs so-and-so, or just has bad manners in general, it's techies.
November 29th, 2012
2:08 pm
I'll admit, AD, that I didn't know AJ had such prolific passing numbers, so you may be right. And if you are, Rambo and Cummings better back up their talk, huh?
One reason to love Ogletree at ML – a few steps back, and he is in coverage, where he started his career.
November 29th, 2012
2:26 pm
Roll Tide
November 29th, 2012
3:23 pm
Joey, Ogletree is indeed a stud. If we can control him, and keep Jones from turning A.J. into another decal on the Georgia Dome turf, I think we win. If Georgia gets truly big plays from their defense — and if you can run the ball — we are in big trouble.

Hoping for one heck of a game and of course, a win! Murray will be the key coupled with great defensive play. Lot's of respect for Alabama – they didn't get to where they are without playing fundamental, smash mouth football. Kickoff in two day! Enjoy the moment Dawg ( and Bama) fan!

Tennessee completed passes on everybody……… they were good. They had the 2nd or 3rd best OL in the SEC and possibly the best WRs (UGA is 2nd despite losing 2 of their best to injuries). UGA could not get a pass rush – which leads to lots of yards.

Jenkins/Gaethers combo in the middle will hold up against the Bummer OL and the Dawgs will get a rush on the edge and sack McCarron- Bummer has over 20 sacks against them this year despite having a good run game. UGA's DBs will smother Bummers WRs. Bummer will get ZERO big plays on offense in this game. ZERO. Against common opponent Ole Miss UGA blew them out and Bummer didn't wrap up the game until late in the 4th quarter. Ole Miss head coach , without saying it, hinted that UGA is better. How UGA is playing now is what counts..

Bama had a tough time passing on A & M.
AJ went 1 td, 2 interceptions on Texas A & M.
Yes, the A & M team that gave up 450 passing yards and 5 td's against the lowly La Tech, it was THAT PASS DEFENSE, that threw AJ off his game.
The A & M pass defense is like, last in the SEC, AJ SHOULD have had a CAREER GAME, but really struggled.
UGA is 2nd in the SEC in pass defense, so if AJ struggled against No 10 sec pass defense A/M, how will he do against No 2 SEC pass defense UGA?

Bama's No 1 WR deep threat spped guy is out with an injury now, so look for Bama to try to win with their run game.

Go Dawgs!

This game all comes down to which offense is more explosive, seeing that both defenses are as good as can be.
Hoping my dawgs can pull off a win!
November 29th, 2012
8:14 pm
The A & M pass defense is ranked #81 in the country.
AJ threw 1 td, and 2 int's.
UGA's pass defense is ranked #9 in the country.
Got to like that match up.
November 29th, 2012
8:17 pm
I look for some picks from the likes of Rambo, Swann, Commings, and some forced fumbles from the likes of Jones and Jenkins.
It will be a LONG, LONG day for AJ's offense if UGA playmakers play up their potential.
Ask Florida.

I don't believe that Georgia has the discipline to execute well in a game of this magnitude.
We'll see.

Funny that UGA Ys, as much as you hate Florida, are completely reliant on them for your status. No Florida success = no Georgia success. Oh yeah… and playing Bama = no Georgia success. Roll Tide!

Florida Atlantic coach Carl Pelini called Alabama "as physical a team as there is out there." "That's not Georgia we faced today, that's Alabama – it's very different, "Pelini said. "Different scheme-wise. I think they're more physical than Georgia. You know, I don't compare teams but they're just different. They play differently. They pressure more than Georgia did. They're physical in their man coverage."

You are wrong. Double clicking an icon on a desktop, yes, opens the file. Double clicking a file folder in an open dialog in column view didn't used to open every file in the folder. I know this because I do it all the time in Snow Leopard without issue. Perform the action I am describing before criticizing.
A primary tenant of user interface design is don't surprise the user. Also, "contents are not always dynamically refreshed" when stored on a non-Apple server, which is what we have at work.
If I wanted to open all the files in a folder (this one had over 50 files) I would click the folder once and command-A to select all the files. But I don't want to do that.
Apple designed it so a user can easily open all the files in a folder from within preview without the extra effort of highlighting them all yet you have the audacity to claim "i'm not doing it wrong, Apple designed it wrong" Jesus, man!
How about this, when you want to see the items in a folder you click it once instead of two times, but for this to work you have to remember that items in Finder windows will automatically show up as they appear so no need to "refresh" the contents.

Gardner and Garcia Earn Regional All-American HonorsBrown University field hockey standouts Susana Garcia (Highland Lakes, NJ) and Cara Gardner (Hensall, ONT) have both been named First Team Northeast Regional All-Americans by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. Both were honored as First Team All-Ivy selections last week.
Garcia completed her senior season with eight goals and ten assists, making her the second leading scorer on the team and eighth in the Ivy League. From her midfield position she was a key defender as well as a pivotal offensive player for the Bears. Garcia has been a huge part of Brown's success for the past four years, starting in every single game since her rookie season. She was a First Team All-Ivy selection last year and was named a Second Team Northeast Regional All-American, as well as being Academic All-Ivy and an Academic All-American.
Gardner has been a major force in Brown's offense for the past two years. She played her first season last year as a junior, making an immediate impact on the forward line with her natural ability to score. She was honored as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year for her 12 goals and four assists, as well as being named Second Team All-Ivy. This season she led the Bears in scoring with 15 goals and eight assists, placing her second in the Ivy League for points. She also ended her senior season ranked 6th in the nation for points per game and 7th in the nation for goals per game.

WESTTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a 15-year-old boy has been rescued after spending more than two hours trapped in waist-high mud in an upstate New York sand pit.
Emergency officials in Orange County tell the Times Herald-Record of Middletown that Spencer Lozza was riding his all-terrain vehicle Sunday when the ATV got stuck in mud in an old sand pit in Westtown, 75 miles northwest of New York City.
The teen got off the ATV and sank in up to his waist in the thick mud. Family and friends tried to get him out with ropes but were unsuccessful.
Firefighters eventually freed Lozza by placing ladders across the mud hole, allowing Lozza to slip out of the waders he was wearing and free himself.
The teen wasn't injured.

For the first three months of this year the crime rate in Turlock was steadily creeping upwards, due in large part to more violent offenders on the street, said Turlock Police Chief Rob Jackson.
The defense attorney for a Turlock man convicted of murder dropped a legal bombshell in court Tuesday morning when he declared himself not competent enough to continue representing his client during the sanity phase of the trial.

'Christian' Manifesto Comparing Liberals to Nazis Gathers Signatures of Religious Right Leaders -- and Catholic Bishops
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Religious right leaders are making a concerted push to gain thousands of new signatures for their "Manhattan Declaration," a manifesto released late last year by about 150 conservative Christian leaders. The document, signed by such religious-right heavy-hitters as Focus on the Family eminence James Dobson and Prison Fellowship Ministries leader Chuck Colson, compares pro-choice advocates to eugenicists (and implicitly to Nazis) and equates same-sex marriage with polygamy and a gateway to legalized incest. Its authors promise to defy any law that does not comport with their religious beliefs. Joining the religious right's Protestant leaders as signatories to the declaration are four Roman Catholic bishops, including those presiding over the powerful archdioceses of New York and Washington, DC.
Described by New York Times religion reporter Laurie Goodstein as "an effort to rejuvenate the political alliance of conservative Catholics and evangelicals that dominated the religious debate during the administration of President George W. Bush," declaration authors initially set a target for a million signatures by December 1. Although they fell well short of that goal, they claimed at press time to have gathered more than 419,000 signatures and have redoubled their efforts to add more names.
The American Family Association made the Manhattan Declaration the centerpiece of a January fundraising letter, urging members to sign the document, warning of the grave threat from "the anti-family/anti-religious radicals who control the White House and Congress." Focus on the Family posted a note on its "Action Center" on January 14. And several U.S. Catholic bishops -- Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, and Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville -- are urging their fellow bishops to preach about the declaration, get signatures from the faithful and use the document as an organizing vehicle.
If You're Not With Us, You're a Lot Like a Nazi
Supporters of legal access to abortion and supporters of physician-assisted suicide are described in the 4,700-word manifesto as "those who today assert a right to kill the unborn, aged and disabled." The declaration goes on to link reproductive rights and death-with-dignity advocates with the early-20th-century eugenicists whose notions fueled the murderous Nazi ideology of genetic purity. From the declaration:
Eugenic notions such as the doctrine of lebensunwertes Leben ("life unworthy of life") were first advanced in the 1920s by intellectuals in the elite salons of America and Europe. Long buried in ignominy after the horrors of the mid-20th century, they have returned from the grave. The only difference is that now the doctrines of the eugenicists are dressed up in the language of "liberty," "autonomy," and "choice."
In other words, the declaration suggests the only difference between Nazi master-race theorists and today's pro-choice and death-with-dignity advocates is rhetorical.
Similar respect is accorded to same-sex couples and those who support them. The declaration never mentions same-sex relationships without pairing them with polyamorous relationships or incest, a fact reflected in the headline of an Associated Press story (as it appears on Edge, an LGBT Web site) about the declaration: "Evangelicals, Catholics: Gay Marriage Paves the Way to Incest." That, along with the well-documented anti-gay histories of many signers, makes it hard to take seriously the document's assertion that it is " love (not 'animus') and prudent concern for the common good (not 'prejudice')" that is motivating the signers' pledge to resist and defy laws that recognize civil marriage equality.
For the declaration's authors, the concept of civil union seems worthy of contempt. "No one has a civil right to have a non-marital relationship treated as a marriage," they write -- echoing sentiments found on the site of the Conference of Catholic Bishops explaining the church's opposition to any legal recognition of same-sex relationships: "We strongly oppose any legislative and judicial attempts, both at state and federal levels, to grant same-sex unions the equivalent status and rights of marriage -- by naming them marriage, civil unions, or by other means."

While Phillip Phillips has been riding high on the success of his single "Home," his family back home as been struggling, and they're even being forced to sell their pawn shop -- at least according to TMZ .
TMZ reports that the Albany, Georgia pawn shop, which was featured prominently on American Idol, is going on the auction block December 1 because the Phillips family can't afford to keep it open anymore. Sources tell TMZ that Phillip's dad needs to use the profits to cover the family's mounting debt. Sources all tell TMZ that Phillip's family has asked him for financial help multiple times, but he hasn't come across.
Cornered by TMZ on video at an airport , and asked why he wouldn't help his family out, Phillip laughed, said he had "no comment," and then added, "I love my family. That's why I was just there with them." He then tried to change the subject by attempting to convince the TMZ cameraman to buy his upcoming debut album.

I see people forgiving "friends" for many things that are unforgivable or see friends allowing NEGATIVE energy into their lives and I REFUSE to do that. The free time I do have, I want it to be drama free and spend it with people who can only ENHANCE this thing called life.
Now, she couldn't have known this, but this was exactly what I needed to read right then. Certain people in this world have devoted themselves to making other people miserable. We've all met at least one, right? Most of the time such people are easy to deal with--you can just walk away. But sometimes third party people and life circumstances force you to put up with insufferable jerks. So how do you know when a relationship is so toxic that it's worth giving up a job, a friend, a lifestyle for?
Since this is a food blog, I shall illustrate the dilemma with my lunch.
Good relationship networks are like this half eaten sandwich. The whole grain bread, roasted red pepper hummus, white cheddar, and honey turkey all taste distinct in their own right, with none of the flavors overpowering the others. But say I chose a particularly argumentative bread, like some haughty French loaf. Say the bread took offense to the lettuce and undertook a campaign to have it thrown off the plate. Say the cheese sided with the lettuce, so the bread spread nasty rumors about moldy cheddar. The cheese and lettuce want to leave, but the hummus keeps clinging and crying, "Why can't we all just be like we were before?"
The cheese and lettuce would feel guilty for disassembling the sandwich, since it means so much to the hummus, but it's no use. Such a strife-laden meal would give anyone indigestion.
During the summer I worked for someone with particularly low self-esteem. After years of being bullied by a previous librarian, never getting up the courage to leave, she turned into a controlling bully herself. She made condescending remarks every time the slightest chance arose (for example, "We still have so much to put in your little brain") and sometimes said things I'm not even sure are legal (like, "We're paying you twice as much as the students funded by work-study, so I'll work you harder than the others. It may not be right, it may not feel 'fair,' but that's the way it is.") Even after a month of being belittled and micromanaged I was still the hummus saying to herself, "It will get better. It has to." But when a coworker told me she endured the same treatment for half a year before the higher-ups intervened, I realized how stupid I was being.
Did I feel guilty for jumping ship? Of course--honor is coded into my half-Chinese DNA. But honor wasn't worth it. Obligation wasn't worth it. Now I'm facing a similar situation (not with my new boss; she's fantastic) and am in the same old hummus trap. It's unfortunate, but some ingredients just don't mix. It's time to say goodbye to the baguette and set out to find some flavors that, as Diana said, enhance the dining experience, not destroy it.

Is capitalism sustainable?
Bono stated in his TED2013 talk that the numbers show that we can eradicate all poverty worldwide by 2030. While I really hope that is true, it begs the question: Is capitalism sustainable? Is it possible to have a rich and middle class without a poor class? The sad reality of capitalism is that if there is an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, there has to be an exponentially long tail of much poorer people who are each contributing to that wealth. Not that we necessarily need an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, but would the world keep running without capitalistic incentives that increase the separation between rich and poor? Can we eradicate all poverty without the rich sharing their riches? What happens to civilization when nobody is willing to work in the factories and orchards, or build roads?
(Please don't take this question the wrong way! Personally I wish that nobody had to work menial jobs. I just don't understand how we can eradicate poverty when so many jobs will always translate into low-paid labor.)

Mar 15 2013: i find it interesting that the more sense it starts to make sense, the more you create an even more dire situation. "Computer programers...Game Creators..." But then you go all the way back to the beginning (so to speak) to prove your point. Completely ignoring the "reality' of where we are! This is what "fear" can do when anyone questions Capitalism. While there may have been many necessary processes to implement in the 1600-1800's, we are in a very very different time. And again, your fears make you ignore this fact. You also ignore the fact that it was the same Capitalization (Industrialism) that spurred the immigration to this country by millions looking for jobs, which took poverty to an new scale. And what happens to a company and more importantly, to its workers when the doors close for whatever reason? They are now the needy. For the past 5 years the poverty levels have risen. At over 15%, 46.2mil people live in poverty. In the world I see, with so many other interesting things to pursue and how children will be educated on the essence of being responsible (do you disagree with that too?), to what is important to others as well as personal pursuits, people will do much more and be happier doing it. The only thing they have to respect is, they will have to be productive. No sitting on the couch, cause this will never be a situation we will Culture anymore. You have to look way beyond what you think will work or not work based on very different times with a completely different knowledge base. The Dust Bowl, was an Ecological Disaster. But few really know that. When wheat became Gold, the frenzy to make the money, caused a Tragedy. Lack of information was key! So when you choose to make points based on something necessary in the 1600's, as to what we are doing today when we have 46mil folks living impoverished, stop and ask...is this really working for everyone? The only thing I agree with the comparison is....."they changed something that didn't work...then!
Mar 15 2013: I used those illustrations to show that human nature has been the same from the earliest times where we have records. In all ages there have been many who chose to survive on the eforts of others. Whether that be kings and subjects, congressmen, or people who sit on the couch. The crux was this: What if everyone in this new order decides to do something other than provide food, clothing and shelter? It would require some encouragement to do those tasks.

ReListically SpeakingPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
When I first brought this up last year, it was in reply to Russian composer Alexander Radvilovich's question of what the most influential pieces have been since 1970. I told him that there were so many strands in new music over the last 35 years it would be impossible to make a coherent list.
Then I tried an experiment: I asked S21 readers what they thought the most influential pieces were. I tossed out a half dozen suggestions, and the responses poured in, resulting in the monumental list as it now stands. When I first posted it, I noted the fact that it ended up being something other than was intended – you can read my comments about influence in the original list here.
Clearly, we did not end up with an objective list of most influential works. However, we do have a list of pieces from the past 35 years that have all had profound impacts on somebody other than the composers. The size and variety of the list makes quite a statement about the diversity of our languages and the sheer number of ways to touch an audience, for those who question the communicative powers of new music.
And yet, as long as the list is, anyone at all familiar with new music could easily add a few equally deserving titles.
So, if we wanted a Most Influential list, we might start by hacking this one down to size. What if we decided to include only the works we all agreed were most influential? I suspect we would soon whittle the list down to zero. And that's the answer, in effect, that I gave Radvilovich. Which is certainly no more coherent than this list.
But the subjective world I live in makes me want to keep adding pieces. I'd rather delete the title "most influential" and call the list something else, something like "music that mattered, 1970-2005." As such, it would serve as a resource for the curious, the uninitiated, and even the well-informed – I find it hard to believe that anyone has heard everything here.
So, Ian, Evan, Tom, Glenn, Jacob, David, Anthony – if there is a next edition of this list, you will find your suggested amendments included. And Adam: check with Rodney Lister – I think he was the one who nominated Babbitt's Triad.
