Jon Hays is spending his spring afternoons standing and watching while the Utah offense practices, which pretty much matches the job description that brought him to the campus last summer.
Yet even as a guy who never really was supposed to play for the Utes, Hays somehow appears out of place these days. Jordan Wynn is back from the shoulder injury that forced Hays into action, and freshman quarterbacks Travis Wilson and Chase Hansen have arrived as early enrollees in college, knocking Hays completely off the published depth chart.

Anybody remember the Sun Bowl?
Barely three months after Hays rallied the Utes past Georgia Tech with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes and an overtime scoring drive, he's an afterthought. Having described Hays as a "fill-in" QB in no fewer than six columns last season, I would be disingenuous to question how the Ute staff is upgrading the position.
It would be equally unfair not to give Hays the credit he deserves for delivering four Pac-12 wins and a bowl victory. His story remains remarkable, how the Utes landed him after spring practice during a desperate search for an adequate backup to Wynn, and how only Nebraska-Omaha's dropping its Division II football program made him available.
And when Wynn was sidelined by halftime of the fourth game, Hays instantly became Utah's QB during the school's first Pac-12 season. Via some combination of Hays' improvement, running back John White's workload, the defense's performance and the staff's ability to reduce the quarterback position's importance, the Utes made it work. They went 6-3 with Hays — which is better than the 5-5 record Brian Johnson produced in 2005, his first season as a starter.
"That's a good one," said Johnson, who is the school's all-time leader, with 26 quarterbacking victories, and is now serving as Utah's offensive coordinator.
Johnson, then the team's quarterbacks coach, will always appreciate how Hays helped salvage the Utes' 2011 season. That's likely where it will end, though, as Hays occupies a unique position in Ute history. He was recruited for emergency purposes, responded when needed and now is a fourth-string senior whose status is unlikely to change unless one of the freshmen is redshirted.
"It's tough to sit on the sidelines, but that's what's making the program better," Hays said. "Their development is definitely important."
Hays remains eager to compete, and more opportunity may come in August, once the staff evaluates the newcomers. Hays understands the situation, said coach Kyle Whittingham. "We told him going in that we need to find out what these freshmen are all about."
The coaches know what they have in Hays, which is both a compliment and a slight. Everybody knows he was a temporary solution, but he succeeded.
"Definitely a cool experience," Hays said. "I kind of got thrown into the fire there, but I came out alive. … It's something I'll always remember."
The Sun Bowl is especially unforgettable. After Hays threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, the Utes trailed Georgia Tech 24-10. They came back to claim a 30-27 overtime victory as Hays responded with two touchdown passes, both on fourth-down plays.
"That's when you've got to come through," Hays said. "There's no such thing as fifth down, so that's your last chance."
The rally in El Paso, Texas, probably was Hays' last appearance in a meaningful situation for the Utes. That also means his legacy is secure.
This season, he'll be standing on the sideline, with far more talented quarterbacks playing ahead of him. Hays will be remembered as the Ute QB who didn't truly belong in that position — but, admirably, acted as though he did.

Editorial: Stop The Connecticut Chainsaw Massacre
What's being said
Stop with the hyperbole! How come every time an environemntalist makes their case they have to exaggerate and speak of outcomes they know will not happen. Such is the case with the tree trimming debate.
Here's the reality: The electric utilities are working with property owners and tree wardens when customers object to the proposed trimming or tree removal. The process has dramatically improved. If the property owner or electric company disagree, they can appeal to PURA.
FYI, ETT has been done by CL&P for over 15 years. It is new to UI, so most of the comments are people unaware of the program. I strongly disagree that there is "... widespread public outcry". Most is pretty much limited to Hamden and New Haven residents, many of whose neighborhoods are not scheduled for trimming for 2-3 years.
In regards to tree replacement and stump grinding, it should not be the companies or their ratepayers responsibility to fund such activity.

by CWU Athletics Media RelationsELLENSBURG, Wash.-- Four candidates for the head football coaching position at Central Washington University have emerged as finalists. Each candidate will be in Ellensburg next week for on-campus interviews and community forums, CWU Director of Athletics Dennis Francois announced.
The four finalists for the position are: John Graham, associate head coach and defensive coordinator at Eastern Washington University, Cheney, Wash.; Ian Shoemaker, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Saint Cloud State University, Saint Cloud, Minn.; Chris Tormey, former head coach at the University of Idaho and the University of Nevada, Reno; and Mat Taylor, head coach at Skyline High School, Sammamish, Wash.
All on-campus forums will be held at 10 a.m. in room 140 of the Student Union and Recreation Center, while off-campus community forums will be held at 5 p.m. in the Teanaway Room of the Hal Holmes Community Center at 209 North Ruby Street.
The on-campus interviews and forums will take place on four consecutive days beginning with next Monday, Dec. 16. Graham is the first candidate on campus on Monday, followed by Shoemaker on Tuesday, Tormey on Wednesday, and Taylor on Thursday.
Graham is completing his sixth season at Eastern Washington, a perennial power in the NCAA Division I-Football Championship Series ranks. A former defensive back at CWU, and a 1992 graduate of Central, Graham was an assistant on the Wildcats' coaching staff from 1995 through 2007 before heading to Cheney. He served as defensive coordinator for the last 12 of those years, helping CWU qualify for the playoffs in 1998, 2002, and 2007.
Shoemaker has been at Saint Cloud State for the past six seasons, serving as the Huskies' co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. A Graham, Wash., native, he helped SCSU to the 2011 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championship and mentored the 2012 national semifinalist in the Harlon Hill Trophy balloting. Shoemaker has had five other collegiate stops since being a two-sport student-athlete at Grinnell College (Iowa), where he graduated in 1996.
Tormey has NCAA Division I head coaching experience at both Idaho (1995-99) and Nevada (1999-2003). He has also been an assistant coach at the D-I level, with several stops along the way including most recently as defensive coordinator at the University of Wyoming. Tormey has also been an assistant at both the University of Washington and Washington State University. He graduated from Idaho in 1978 after playing for the Vandals.
Taylor has put together an impressive resume at the high school level. A 1999 graduate of CWU, he has posted a 72-9 win-loss record over the past six seasons at Skyline High School in Sammamish, where he has guided the Spartans to four Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Class 4A state championships and a runner-up finish.
"We had a large number of very qualified applicants and believe we have identified four finalists who possess different experiences and unique qualities that make them outstanding candidates to lead our football program," said Francois.
The next football coach will be the 24th head coach in CWU history and will replace interim head coach John Picha, who guided the Wildcats to a 7-4 record during the 2013 season.

(NewsUSA) - Have you ever wondered how all of those colorful auto dealership promotion pamphlets arrive in the mail at the exact moment you are contemplating a new car purchase? Oddly enough, they are perfectly timed to coincide with your vehicle-buying needs -- and there's a reason behind it.
Consider this: In 2012, studies showed that more than 90 percent of consumers began their car search online. This insight, according to Ken Schwartz, founder of InMarketSolution (IMS), a Chicago-based marketing company geared specifically to the auto industry and its potential buyers, provides dealerships with a treasure trove of demographic information.
"Consumer data is abundant and valuable, yet many dealers fail to fully exploit its potential," says Schwartz. "In this way, we use best-of-breed data to identify consumers currently in the market to buy a car."
The way it works is that IMS uses proprietary data from its InMarket Buyers List to identify when a consumer is in the market to buy or lease a car. IMS then compares that list to the Dealer Database Management System, removing all matches to ensure the IMS driven sales are new customers. Using multiple technologies, IMS tracks and interacts with the InMarket Buyers multiple times by using a combination of highly targeted direct mail and digital advertising that will potentially drive exclusive leads to a targeted dealership.
The difference between IMS and other direct-mail marketing companies is its business model. In a nutshell, if a dealership doesn't get new customers through IMS's efforts, the dealership doesn't pay a dime.
"I am so confident that our program works, that I am willing to put my money where my mouth is," says Schwartz. "Simply put, if a dealership doesn't sell cars to new customers, we don't get paid."
Schwartz's confidence comes from his past experience working with big data. Before founding IMS, Schwartz was the CEO of CityTwist, an email advertising company focused specifically on automotive marketing. During his tenure there, CityTwist became an Inc. 500/5000 fastest growing company in 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014. In addition, the company has been recognized as a fastest-growing company in South Florida by the South Florida Business Journal for the last two years.

Making Museum Reservations in Florence
By Rick Steves and Gene Openshaw
If you don't get a Firenze Card, and don't plan to book a private guide, it's smart to make reservations at the often-crowded Accademia and Uffizi Gallery. (Some other Florence sights — including the Bargello, Medici Chapels, and Pitti Palace — have reservation systems, but it's not essential to book ahead for these; the Brancacci Chapel officially "requires" a reservation, but it's usually possible to walk right in and get an entry time on weekdays or any day off-season, especially before 15:30.)
Get reservations for the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery as soon as you know when you'll be in town. You can generally get an entry time for the Accademia a few days before your visit, but reserve for the Uffizi well in advance. Without a reservation at the Accademia and Uffizi, you can usually enter without significant lines from November through March after 16:00. But from April through October and on weekends, it can be crowded even late in the day. Any time of year, I'd consider reserving a spot.
There are several ways to make a reservation:
By Phone
For either sight, reserve by phone before you leave the States (from the US, dial 011-39-055-294-883, or within Italy call 055-294-883; €4/ticket reservation fee; booking office open Mon–Fri 8:30–18:30, Sat 8:30–12:30, closed Sun). The reservation line is often busy. Be persistent. When you get through, an English-speaking operator walks you through the process — a few minutes later you say grazie, having secured an entry time and a confirmation number. You'll present your confirmation number at the museum and pay cash for your ticket. Note that you pay nothing up front when you phone.
Using a credit card, you can reserve your Accademia or Uffizi visit online via the city's official site (€4/ticket reservation fee). To start, click on the gray "B-ticket" strip, and make sure you "Add" your ticket to the cart before you "Buy" it. You'll receive an immediate confirmation email, which is followed within three days by a voucher. Bring your voucher to the ticket desk to swap for an actual ticket.
Pricey middleman sites — such as uffizi.com and tickitaly.com — are reliable and more user-friendly than the official site, but their booking fees run about €10 per ticket (proceed carefully when ordering from these broker sites — it's easy to confuse Florence's Accademia with Venice's gallery of the same name).
Through Your Hotel
When you make your hotel reservation, ask if they can book your museum reservations for you (some hoteliers will do this for free; others charge a €3–5 fee in addition to the reservation fee; they'll probably give you a confirmation number that you'll take to the museum, where you'll pay cash for your ticket).
Other Options
Firenze Card
The Firenze Card (€72) is pricey but convenient. This three-day sightseeing pass gives you admission to many of Florence's sights, including the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia. Just as important, it lets you skip the ticket-buying lines without making reservations. For busy sightseers, the card can save some money. And for anyone, it can certainly save time.
With the card, you simply go to the entrance at a covered sight (if there's a "with reservations" door, use it), show the card, and they let you in (though there still may be delays at popular sights with bottleneck entryways or capacity limits). At some sights, you must first present your card at the ticket booth or information desk to get a physical ticket before proceeding to the entrance. For people seeing five or six major sights in a short time, the card is well worth it.
The Firenze Card is valid for 72 hours from when you validate it at your first museum (e.g., Tuesday at 11:00 until Friday at 11:00). It covers the regular admission price as well as any special-exhibit surcharges (which are commonly tacked on at major sights such as the Uffizi). The card is good for one visit per sight. It also gives you free use of Florence city buses. The card is not shareable, and there are no family or senior discounts for Americans or Canadians.
Getting the card makes the most sense in peak season, from April through October, when crowds are worst. Off-season travelers could do without it. To figure out if the card is a good deal for you, tally up the entry fees for what you want to see. The card is great for popping into lesser sights you otherwise wouldn't pay for.
Many outlets around town sell the card; if you decide to get one, there's no need to buy it in advance.
Private Tour
Take a tour that includes your museum admission. For example, ArtViva Walking Tours offers tours of the Uffizi, Accademia, and both museums.
Last-Minute Strategies
If you arrive without a reservation, call the reservation number (see "By Phone" above); ask your hotelier for help; or head to a booking window, either at Orsanmichele Church (€4 reservation fee, daily 10:00–17:00, along Via de' Calzaiuoli) or at the My Accademia Libreria bookstore across from the Accademia's exit (€4 reservation fee, Tue–Sun 8:15–17:30, closed Mon, Via Ricasoli 105 red). It's also possible to go to the Uffizi's official ticket office (use door #2 and skirt to the left of the long ticket-buying line), ask if they have any short-notice reservations available, and pay cash (€4 fee, Tue–Sun 8:15–18:35).

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Debra Van Ausdale will give the talk, "Young Children and Race Relations: How Preschoolers Perpetuate Racism," Thursday, Oct. 20, at 4 p.m. in the Gallery Theatre of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell.
Van Ausdale is co-author of The First R: How Children Learn Race and Racism, with Joe Feagin.
The book has been called "A sensitive and politically sophisticated work of on-site observation and engaging scholarship which ought to shake our nation from its equanimity," by Jonathan Kozol, author of Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools.
"The lessons we were given long ago by Dr. Kenneth Clark and, nearly a hundred years ago, by W.E.B. Du Bois have yet to be internalized. Perhaps, as the authors of this valuable and stirring work suggest, it is our children who will prove to be our wisest teachers," said Kozol of the book.
A graduate of the University of South Florida, Van Ausdale engaged as a participant-observer in a multicultural daycare center for nearly a year for her dissertation research, examining how young children used race in their formal and informal interactions.
"Most significantly, her findings are in stark contrast to contemporary notions of children as `color-blind'; her research instead suggests that young children use race in developmentally sophisticated ways to negotiate their play and relationships with each other, especially in the absence of adults," said Sue Ellen Henry, assistant professor of education at Bucknell.
Henry also noted that this lecture has Act 48 continuing education credit being offered for people with Pennsylvania state teaching certificates.
The talk, which is open to the public without charge, is part of Van Ausdale's visit to the university, sponsored by the departments of education and psychology, the Office of Academic Affairs, the University Lectureship Committee and the Committee on Campus Diversity.
During her visit she also will meet with classes and participate in the Writers at Work lunchtime discussion series Thursday, Oct. 20, at noon in Room 200G Roberts Hall. The Writers at Work series is a brownbag lunch gathering which is open to the public.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
In its most recent quarterly conference call, Austin, TX-based Whole Foods Markets announced its new sweet-spot for store size is 35,000 to 45,000 square feet. This is down from 45,000 to 55,000 square feet it gave last year as its target range, which itself was down from the 55,000+ square foot range it had been aiming for mid-decade when the economy was rocking and rolling. Founder and chief executive officer, John Mackey, noted that this past year has been a "teachable moment" for the retailer, which it has used to become more efficient in all operating areas including labor, inventory and building stores. As a result, Whole Foods is increasing profits even though same-store sales are down.

D-Ribose is a vital nutrient for producing energy in the body. Importantly, D-Ribose does not produce energy by an unhealthy stimulating action, but by the natural process of making the body's all-important energy storage compound, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The United States, like Great Britain, is seeing its food laws come under increasing pressure to harmonize and conform to international standards.
Women who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant should understand the benefits of taking prenatal supplements. During pregnancy, a woman's need for nutrients like calcium, folic acid and iron become greater because both mother and baby need extra nourishment.
Creatine supplementation can be advantageous for everyone, not just athletes. Sure, many athletes have learned that creatine supplementation significantly improves maximal strength and endurance. They have found, and studies confirm, that creatine supplementation also results in improved concentration, higher endurance in training and faster recovery. Why would this be important to non-athletes?
At Retail Insights, we've recently completed our 2008 retail food industry overview, and natural products are $34.19 billion, or about 6%, of the $542 billion total food store business. If you just continue the trend lines as they've been going, with natural products growing 8% per year versus conventional foods growing 1% per year, by the year 2040, natural products will be $400 billion, or 54%, of the then-$745 billion retail grocery business. In other words, we will increase to 10 times our present size, adding $365 billion on top of our current $34 billion.
What do laundry detergent, automobile exhaust systems and saliva have in common? All three contain catalysts or substances that speed up a chemical reaction while remaining unchanged. In cars, this is useful for reducing the toxicity of emissions, but detergents and saliva contain a different type of catalyst—the enzyme.
As regular readers know, one of my biggest peeves is the media writing uninformed articles about nutrition without bothering to check the facts. It is hard to tell which nutrient draws the most misinformation from the media, but creatine ranks high on the list. Why do so many in the media confuse a healthy nutrient with an unhealthy drug. Why are so many in the media under the impression that eating creatine (which the body uses naturally) is akin to taking performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids that change body chemistry?

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 4 (HealthDay News) -- A drug called icatibant is
effective in treating acute attacks of a condition that causes
potentially life-threatening swelling in the throat and other parts
of the body, new research shows.
People with hereditary angioedema (HAE) suffer recurrent
episodes of swelling caused by fluid leaking from blood vessels. It
can occur in a number of areas, including the face, extremities,
gastrointestinal tract or the throat and larynx, where it can cause
dangerous blockage of the airway, researchers explained in a news
release from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where one of
two recent trials of the drug was based. The other trial was in
The condition is caused by low levels or poor function of a
protein called C1 esterase inhibitor. The new drug, icatibant,
blocks the receptor for a protein called bradykinin, which is
thought to play a role in many HAE symptoms.
By interfering with bradykinin's normal actions, which include

icatibant prevents HAE's abnormal swelling, the researchers
"We have not had many options for treating painful, debilitating and potentially life-threatening attacks of hereditary angioedema, and these studies showed that icatibant improves symptoms and is not associated with any concerning side effects," explained Dr. Aleena Banerji, principal investigator for the Massachusetts General Hospital study site.
Icatibant has already been approved in the European Union. As
part of its application to have the drug approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, German drug maker Jerini Inc., conducted
the two randomized, double-blind clinical trials, which included a
total of 130 patients.
Although the results of one trial did not reach statistical
significance, the researchers concluded that icatibant is safe and
effective in treating acute attacks of HAE. No serious
treatment-related side effects were reported in either trial,
according to the findings published in the Aug. 5 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine.
Currently available treatments for U.S. patients with the

Hawaii's Kelia Moniz Wins SWATCH Girls Pro China and the World Title - ASP Women's 2012 Longboard Champion
Kelia Moniz is the new ASP Women's Longboard World Champion after winning the SWATCH GIRLS PRO China 2012 hosted by Wanning in 2-3ft (shoulder high) surf. In a repeat of last year's final, Kelia faced off against Australia's Chelsea Williams, the defending event champion, and promptly set about a commanding display of smooth, radical longboard surfing, mixing rail-to-rail lines and classic hang-ten moves to leave Chelsea needing a combination of scores (16.05 vs. 9.5). "I can't believe how awesome it feels, I'm so thrilled to get the win. It's been tough with small waves this week but we were all super stoked to see the surf today on the last day of the event. Chelsea has been surfing really well all week, I knew I'd need to surf my best to beat her and I got lucky finding some really nice waves. Wow, I'm the World Champion… that's awesome!" Kelia won the first heat of the first round on day 1 of competition and has been the outstanding surfer in every round since, showing finesse in all conditions, and thus was thoroughly deserving of her win, as Chelsea sportingly concurred. "She was the better surfer in that heat for sure, so congratulations to Kelia. It's a bummer for me to finish runner-up again, once you get in the final you're kinda only really thinking about winning, but it wasn't to be. I fell off a few times and never really found my rhythm."
"It was always going to require a bit of luck going down to last day with a lot of heats to run," said Contest DirectorDane Jordan. "But our luck was in with the back up site picking up the new swell offering the girls some decent waves to show what they can do. Nobody wanted to finish up in tiny conditions, so we were stoked to make the call to move, and even more stoked when it paid off with some great surfing witnessed en route to crowning a new World Champion."
With the final day of the waiting period not offering much swell at the main event site, organizers decided to go mobile and run at a spot 1 km south of Riyuewan, a reef picking up the best of the new 2-3ft (shoulder high) east swell. The decision was instantly vindicated with excellent scores being posted right through the rounds up to the final. The semis saw Summer Romero narrowly lose out to Kelia in a tight heat, while Chelsea had made short work of Karina Rozunko, the 16-year-old American making her debut in ASP competition in their semi.
Earlier, the quarters were a cosmopolitan affair, with surfers from five regions; Hawaii, USA, Australia, France and Japan represented. The equal fifth Japan's Hiroka Yoshikawa earned for making the quarters represents Japan's best ever finish in ASP World Title rankings, whilst China's Wenling Chou's equal thirteenth earlier in the week was also a new first in a great event for Far East surfing.

Come on Thomson again y'all battle from behind and give up 325 passing yards wow!!!!!!!…..Boy lovett got a slick QB and a great set of offensive of plays, with a OC who always looking to set you up for the set up great game…..But we are so balance this year they was making sure the big pass plays was no where to be found, so all we did is unleashed our QB in the run game…..AAA Waco got y'all on notice

Hello Son of WACO!! Here we go again! You still drinking that haterade and apparently haven't learned your lesson! I was at the game last night and give GAC a lot of credit! Those boys have heart especially their qb! Trust if you guys were to play them you would struggle as well (just as you did with Lovett in your own stadium I might add)! We actually dominated the game, but what kept the game close were costly turnovers, penalties (some questionable), and big plays for GAC! No excuses for those and I admit we need to improve on those things!
But look you guys played the same size and quality team in your own stadium and gave up 35 points!! Just like Lagrange, not only did GAC have last week off, but we also had to travel to play them! What's your excuse? You always on here talking about your offense, but never mention anything about your defense! Why is that? Looking at the scores of some of your games, it appears you guys don't exactly have much of a shut down defense! Maybe that's the reason HUH… As much as we need to improve our pass defense, it appears you guys need to improve your overall defense or prepare for a long night on Oct. 26… Lol!

T-Town…You got to get the FACTS MAN!!! We scored on every possession besides before halftime and at the end of the game… Lovett a balance team who can pass and run like us and had great set up plays but our defense still did their thang…Also where did you get the info from that we struggled from, they had the lead once because they had the ball first and that lasted what 5 plays….From then on we had a 14 point lead but not like y'all who edge out another win and got you adding another excuse in the book with the others from the past games…..Before i made my post i did look at 4 sites about y'all game and they was like the game was up for grab until 1 min left in the game, so dominate y'all didn't do that….I talk about our defense as being good not great but they good enough to make a duel threat team struggle and earn every point and dominate a run only team….Waco is one of the lowest populated AAA schools, like 40 students away from being AA and 200 away from the top AAA schools…So grade us on a real scale when comparing school sizes…..

Don't doubt Rafe Chapple's arm: The Gwinnett Daily Post reported Greater Atlanta Christian's quarterback passed for 330 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 9 Spartans barely lost to AAA's second-ranked Thomson, 36-27. That gives him 549 yards and eight TDs his last two times out.

The normally penalty free SPX Golden Lions showed their perseverance, discipline confidence and class by overcoming the worst referee's and blatantly biased calls I have seen in 40 years playing coaching and watching football. Dekalb County should realize that bad refs or refs who get involved in the game hurt everybody and undermine the lessons that the players need going forward. GHSA needs to review Dekalb's refs and end this craziness.

Son of WACKO- What are you talking about? All I said was that you played a quality AA program just like we did and you guys gave up 35 points at home! Yes we struggle against a good GAC team due to costly turnovers, penalties (some questionable), and big plays! The major difference between our game and yours is that we played GAC on the road and they had 2 weeks to prepare for us, and we still came out with a hard fought victory! You guys played a tough Lovett team at HOME, but still gave up 35 POINTS!! So all I'm trying to say is your defense is suspect and our offense is just as lethal as yours!
Also Son of WACKO, why are you so obsessed with us? You mention that you looked at 4 sites on Thomson's game before posting your message. If you asked me Son, that appears to be a little WACKO… You definitely living up to your name!
Last but not least, you guys are a considered a AAA school whether you are 1 student over, 40 students over, or a 100 students over… That's how you will judge whether you thinks it fair or not! If you don't like it, complain to GHSA your lame excuse and tell them to send you guys back to AA!
Go DOGS a.k.a "Toughest schedule in AAA!!"
October 7th, 2012
12:05 am
T-Town…..You got a answer for everything…I mean all i said was y'all was in a struggle again and survived, which is true…Just because a team have 2 weeks to prepare for ya isn't a excuse, it's football and y'all a top program(so you say) go out their and perform, weather on the road or at home…Me personally too many sluggish games tell me that y'all alright, but not dominate because we are now 6 weeks into the season and y'all still making the same mistakes (GOT TO BE SOME TRUTH IN THAT)….Waco defense allows around 22 points a game and y'all defense is doing the same…Having the toughest schedule in AAA don't make you a better team, just a beat up team when the playoffs starts…How many players have y'all lost or are limping around with regions starting next Fri….YEAH so much for them useless non region games!!!!!!! AGAIN THE ONLY GAME WACO CAME CLOSE TO LOSING WAS IN WEEK 1 FROM THEN ON WE HAVE DOMINATED EVERY GAME….FACT!!!!!

William Walker, Washington County: The Golden Hawks' quarterback rushed for 232 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 107 yards and a touchdown in a win over Lovett.
Washington County at Jefferson County, Friday: The Golden Hawks will find out if their tough non-region schedule – they beat Eagle's Landing Christian, ECI, Baldwin, Laney and Lovett – will pay off as they travel to Louisville for their Region 3-AAA opener.

Is this the WACO that Stockbridge beat last year in the playoffs? Im just asking, ( I just want to know)
October 7th, 2012

there's is one thing that waco better be prepared for and that's to play four quarters against those thomson bulldogs because from what i seen they get stronger in the second half just when the other teams start running out of gas!!!!!
October 7th, 2012
6:02 pm
Let's breakdown WACO's so-called tough non-region schedule:
2 "A" schools: Eagle's Landing (who WACO barely defeated) and ECI
2 "AA" schools: Lovett and Laney (who we know in the Augusta area is average at best)
1 "AAAA" school: Baldwin (the same team who WACO barely defeated and Peach County dominated)
1 "AAAAA" school: Grovetown (who you forgot to mention by the way)
You can thank me later for reminding you, but with all do respect, sometimes domination can be result of scheduling! I'm just saying!
Thomson's non-region schedule:
Burke County (Away)
Lakeside (Home)
St. Pius (Home)
Lagrange (Away and had a bye week)
Westminster (Home)
Greater Atlanta Christian (Away and had a bye week)
Outside of Lakeside, which one of those teams you think WACO would have dominated? I rest my case… Go DOGS!!

Man I love a good back and forth Waco and T Town going at it. Now the easy way to settle this is go to http://ghsfha.org/index.php and look at all the records of teams played. That may help that way you just click to the opponents records and then go to their opponents records, You can really go an hour on that site and not even realize it.
@kidsballcoach seldom does a Dekalb team make the 3rd round considering all the teams they have because when the best crews of refs come in from out of town that know the rules the dekalb teams are not use to it. It is a yellow hanky fest illegal formations,rolling starts etc etc. Bad officials hurt them in the long run too bad. Tucker usually is the exception.
October 8th, 2012
12:52 pm
NoDistrictLinesInDekalb….I try to hit him with facts but he tries to dress ugly wins up as great wins…I'm going to try and break it down to him once more with facts…..
T-Town…..Got this from GHSA daily which i get in a email from Todd….
Last week: Beat Greater Atlanta Christian 36-27. Thomson won after trailing for the sixth time as GAC led 20-15 at halftime. Chris Jordan rushed for 199 yards on 19 carries and scored three touchdowns, and his 69-yard return of a teammate's fumble in the final minute provided the final margin. Trailing 30-27 with 1:06 left, GAC had a first down at the Thomson 24 but was intercepted in the end zone by William Bussey.
Nw lets break down Thomson toughest schedule in AAA….Burke who won the state last year had to replace at least 8 impact players on the team so the first game of the season is the best time to get a win against them….St. Pius don't have a big time win against a known power program in 3 yrs , so what makes them great besides ATL saying they are……Lagrange was 4-6 last season and the teams they beat this season are a combine 3-12 this season( YEAH I SAID THEIR WINS WAS AGAINST TEAMS WHO COMBINED RECORED ARE 3-13)….Now westminster played the same Laney team you called average and beat them 12-15 and Waco played Laney and beat them 51-28( was 51-7 when we took our starters out at the start of the 4th) GAC combined record of teams they beat are 3-13( YEAH I SAID 3-13)…..So when you take a real look at their schedule how tough is it and they was down at halftime to all them teams…..
I know the truth hurts !!!!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2012
2:06 pm
Son of Waco..You can't throw bricks when you live in a glass house Bro.
You mentioned SPX did not play anyone..(Blessed Trinity and SPX have played the 5th- and 6th-hardest schedules in AAA, according to the computer Maxwell Ratings. Nothing weak about their schedules, IMO.)…Lovett put up 35 on you guys..SPX shut Lovett out 24-0.. Washington County is giving up 22 points per game! All things aside, how do you argue with those facts?
October 8th, 2012
8:46 pm
Seen a few…..Thomson defense average 20 points a game too and they beat y'all so what are you trying to say????? You say a computer say y'all have the 6th hardest schedule in AAA so what the game is played on the field not on a computer screen……. Private schools have the best coaches money can buy so yes they offense should be advance but they still got to play defense and most can't. and playing other ATL schools don't count come down to Middle GA more and make us respect y'all………
October 8th, 2012
9:18 pm
Son of Waco,
Pius' defense allows an average of 7.3 points per game. Their defense coordinator has 6 state championships. Advanced offense? It's a Wing T With Veer and Deleware principles. It's been around since the 60's. The only like opponent they have with your team is Lovett so far. Pius 24 Lovett 0. Wash County 48 Lovett 35. I don't think they are concerned about yours or anybody else's respect.
October 8th, 2012
10:55 pm
THANK YOU SEEN A FEW and BIG FAN!! I remember seeing that game on television and St. Pius not only dominated Lovett, but shut them out as well!! And yet they put up 35 points against WACO in their fame "HOUSE OF PAIN"! This SON OF WACKO continually disrespects other programs, but yet WACO haven't won anything since the 90's! I laughed at his last post because he's actually trying to downplay Thomson's schedule by suggesting that Burke, Pius, GAC, Lagrange, and Westminster are not really strong programs, so our schedule is not really that tough! But yet their schedule with 2 "A" schools (Eagle Landings- who they barely defeated and ECI), 2 "AA" schools (Lovett- who put up 35 at their house and Laney- average at best), 1 "AAAA" school (Baldwin- WACO barely defeated, Peach dominated), and a really weak "AAAAA" school (Grovetown) is TOUGH! And the worst part is he has the nerve to brag about being dominate!! I said it before and I'm going to say it again this dude is a JOKE!! He needs to be banned from posting any more blogs on this site!!
Oh yeah, NoDistrictLinesInDekalb, I already used that site to prove to Son of WACKO Thomson's dominance against WACO:
As a right now, the count stands Thomson 26 wins to WACO's 10!! Now thats 'TRUE DOMINATION" don't you think?! Lol… GO DOGS!!
October 9th, 2012
12:49 am
Big Fan….If the Defense Coordinator has 6 state titles and how many have he brought y'all…. Let's get the facts straight, i know st.pius run the wing-t but just because one private school run a basic run only offense don't discount the two teams we faced that runs the spread(Money well spent)…So because a team scored 35 points on us,it make us weak on defense but can thomson or St pius pass on us like lovett did hmmm!!!!!! I Think Not….. Everyone wants to over look how our offense scored on every possession we had and rushed for 400+ yrds and added 100 passing just to make lovett respect the pass game….
So let's break down our schedule then folks: ELCA got 3 D-1 players on defense and two are ESPN 150 players……ECI hasn't had a losing record in over 5 yrs and has won a state title in that span too and produced a few major D-1 recruits too…..Baldwin was down 14-7 to peach at halftime look it up plz…Peach turn 3 baldwin fumbles in the 2nd half into 21 points which gives you the blowout win….T-Town you can't say that don't matter either because isn't that the same excuse you been using when you say they had a bye week or we had penalties or had to travel a long way when y'all was close to losing all 5 games…..Grovetown y'all played (Lakeside Evans) if you forgot…We barely won 1 game thomson barely won 3 games…
.FYI the Macon Telegraph called our schedule tough, so i copied and paste it here for T-Town viewing pleasure… I've never said our schedule was tough i've always said it was respectful….

"Washington County at Jefferson County, Friday: The Golden Hawks will find out if their tough non-region schedule – they beat Eagle's Landing Christian, ECI, Baldwin, Laney and Lovett – will pay off as they travel to Louisville for their Region 3-AAA opener."
Who made this famous quote? Son of WACKO (but I thought you never said your schedule was tough)
Also by the way, if you scroll up and look at one of my earlier post (if you can read), I did mention Lakeside when I compared our non-region schedule to yours. You was the one who conveniently forgot to mention Grovetown when you talked about your "so-called" tough non-region schedule in your famous quote I just posted!

Hope you can read this click the link and see if it don't take you to the Macon Telegraph and you see that quote i copy and past from that site to this one…..Like i said dude is fighting a battle without a clue…JUST READ IN AJC THAT LOVETT THE ONLY TEAM TO BE WHITHIN 14 OF THAT ALB TEAM THEY PLAYED…..

Look all jokes aside, I know WACO has a "good" if not "great" team, and I respect the hell out of them! You continually disrespect other programs and thats why you are getting hammered by everyone! I have nothing against WACO, but I just can't let anyone come on here and continually disrespect Thomson!
Results from WACO's games do show that they do have a great offense, but a suspect defense! Results from Thomson's games do show that they have sluggish starts, but they also finish strong! AS I SAID BEFORE and I agree with you, Thomson can't afford to do that against great teams in AAA, such as Peach, WACO, Buford, and Pius and continually expect to win! Thomson also must sure up their pass defense, stop the costly penalties and turnovers, and be a little more consistent in their passing game! However, our qb, who is only a sophmore, is getting better each game! I'm going to leave on this note (as long as you show respect), I believe if Thomson and WACO come with their "A" game, they have a good chance to beat anyone in AAA (that includes each other)! But the same can be said for other great teams such as Peach, Buford, Pius, etc! Peach is the favorite, but I believe the AAA state championship is up for grabs this year! We shall see, but definitely should be an exciting year in AAA! Go DOGS!!

Over the last year, high definition video has moved entirely out of the realm of early adoption, and now even a number of pocket models offer HD. Lucky then that the next big thing is already here, and that's 3D video.
However, it's still very much at the first stage. Panasonic has released the first credible 3D camcorder for the rich semi-pro or enthusiast, the HDC-SDT750, and you can pick up a cheap 3D shooter in the shape of the Aiptek 3D i2. However, with its early teething problems, we're not quite ready yet to recommend this format.
So HD remains the format of choice if you want the best camcorder currently on the market. It's also now the format of choice if you're on a budget as well. There has been little change in recording formats, with AVCHD remaining the most widespread option, although more general MP4 has also found favour. This is because one of this year's developments, 50p Full HD shooting, is not supported by AVCHD. So camcorders wishing to offer this option have had to look elsewhere.
The continually falling price of Flash memory has meant that there are signs of this storage format taking over, although there are still plenty of models using hard disks, which offer greater capacity.
With the core camcorder features remaining relatively static, competition has moved onto other areas. In particular, image stabilisation technology has improved. Now many higher-end camcorders offer more than one choice of stabilisation, tracking different frequencies and axes. So whether you're shooting whilst walking, recording from a moving vehicle, or simply trying to get a solid shot when operating handheld at full zoom, the top models from the likes of Panasonic and Canon are more likely than ever to keep your footage stable.
Another feature gaining in popularity is the Advanced or Intelligent zoom, which is a happy halfway house between purely optical and digital telephoto. Whilst the former physically moves the lenses to zoom in, the latter just blows up the frame digitally, resulting in a loss of resolution. But many recent camcorder models have sensors with more pixels than is required for Full HD. So you can crop into the sensor area to provide a zoom that doesn't lose resolution, although it can reduce low-light sensitivity.
Overall, though, the last year has been one in which camcorder pricing has returned to the direction we have come to expect for all devices containing semiconductors: down. At the beginning of 2009, the weakness of the pound and general recession problems meant that camcorder pricing actually went up slightly. But now you can buy a decent Full HD model for as little as £230, and our high-end choice is still under £800. So this Christmas you can seriously consider high definition video making, even if 3D isn't quite there yet.

Labels frustrate me. Gay, straight, male, female, atheist, theist, Republican, Democrat - all of them do. Because we use these labels to sort people into these groups and make blanket assumptions about the lot of them based solely on these labels.
But when we assume characteristics about a person based on a label (even if it is one that they have applied to themselves), we are not allowing ourselves to truly know that person, and they get judged before we know anything about them.
People are far too complex to just be able to tell everything, or even anything, about them from a few adjectives. Someone might be a gay Democratic politician but they could still be hateful towards Jews. Someone with a PhD in theoretical physics could be a staunch Christian.
But we assume things about people - we assume that atheism is associated with intelligence or amorality (depending on the lens through which you look at it), theism with ignorance or morality. We assume that people born with a Y chromosome will fit into Male gender roles. We assume that a white straight male is automatically born into a better situation than a black gay female. We assume that teens are too stupid to think about anything except sex and music, and that adults are too busy thinking about more important things. We assume so many things about so many people that are completely arbitrary.
And I'm sick of it. If someone is an atheist, it means they do not believe that there is a God. It does not make them a better person than any Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or Jew, nor does it make them a worse person. If someone is born with two X chromosomes, it means that they will have breasts and a vagina. It does not mean they must wear dresses instead of suits, it does not mean they cannot call themselves Steven. If someone is a Republican, or Conservative, it means they have a Conservative political ideology. It does not mean they hate black people, gay people, or poor people.
So please, I ask you, if you find yourself generalizing about whole groups, painting the world in these us vs. them (white vs. non-white, cis vs. LGBTQ, women vs. men, conservative vs. liberal, atheists vs. theists) ways, remind yourself that the world is NOT split up into good people and Death Eaters - it is FAR, FAR more complex than that.
Even though we are in a world where we interact with far more people than our brains evolved to interact with and treat as individual people, we must do our best to overcome this bias to sort others into these groups, and make assumptions about a person's identity based on a particular facet of it.
VERY well said

The gunman at the theater shooting in Colorado was dressed entirely in bulletproof gear. He was heavily armed, threw tear gas into the theater before he began shooting, and was acting in a dark, crowded theater. In 90 seconds, when law enforcement responded, he had injured 70 people.
Despite all of that though, former Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce thinks that one of the people in the theater should have been able to stop the shooter. In a Facebook post, Pearce criticized the folks in the theater for not being armed and for a "lack of courage". He said that all that was needed was "one courageous/brave man prepared mentally or otherwise to stop this".
So many people risked their lives to save loved ones or even strangers, putting themselves in the line of fire to block others from the bullets — these people definitely did not lack courage, and to say so is insulting.
Please tell former Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce that the shooting victims did not lack courage!

Not atheism related, but I think it's important to correct ignorant statements like Senator Pearce's.
This was a human tragedy, not a call for laissez faire gun policies or John Wayne wannabes, and I think that some people need to realise that before they make things worse.
