MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Forty-two people were killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes last month.
That's 3 more than last January, and 3 more than the average for the past five years.
The state DOT said 33 drivers were killed last month, along with 7 passengers and two pedestrians.
Wisconsin has just finished its safest four-year period for traffic deaths since the 1920's, and State Patrol Major Sandra Huxtable says officials are trying to get that to continue.
Last year, Wisconsin had fewer than 600 traffic deaths for the fourth year in a row.
The last time that happened was 1923 to '27.

Jeremy Piven Abandons Broadway Due to Health Issue
Actor Jeremy Piven has abruptly abandoned his role in the Broadway revival of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" due to a recent diagnosis that he has a high mercury count.
"We have been advised by Jeremy Piven's medical representatives that he is seriously ill and is unable to fulfill his contractual obligation to Speed-the-Plow," the play's producers stated. "Consequently, he has left the production 10 weeks early."
Mamet seemed unsure of the seriousness of Piven's condition, after the actor missed two matinee performances this week.
"I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury," said Mamet. "So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."
Piven's representative said that the actor was inclined to continue the show but that doctors warned him to leave it immediately.

There are 3 main sources of mercury, fish, silver fillings and vaccines. The worst is vaccine mercury. This is ethylmercury, injected into the body , where it goes right into the brain and other tissue. Once in the brain it is converted to Hg++ where it remains trapped and recks havoc. The next most dangerous is vapor from mercury fillings. Again, this vapor gets into the bllod and ends up in the brain. While methylmercury (fish) is very toxic, it actually gets eliminated quite efficently through the gut. The mainstream medical communty doesn't have a clue!
Tom … you truly have no idea. But thanks for trying. I only hope that Jeremy is whimping out on his contract and not due to something real. One does not get mercury poisoning unless they have an intense exposure. See below.
Mercury fatal intoxication: Two case reports.Triunfante P, Soares ME, Santos A, Tavares S, Carmo H, Bastos MD.
REQUIMTE, Toxicology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Porto, Rua Aníbal Cunha 164, 4099-030 Porto, Portugal.
We report two cases of fatal intoxications with mercury, one intentional and the other allegedly resulting from a drug formulation mistake. Both cases occurred in the year of 2004. The first case refers to a man who ingested a great portion of a mercuric chloride solution. He attended a hospital emergency, submitted to treatment, but died after 49 days. In the second case, a woman applied on the chest skin an ointment containing a great quantity of mercury bromide. After 7 days of treatment in the hospital, she died. In both cases, samples of tissues and organs were collected at autopsy for mercury analysis. Because methylation of mercury in humans after exposure to metallic or inorganic mercury is almost unknown, both total mercury and methylmercury were quantified in the post-mortem samples. The quantifications were carried out by Cold Vapour Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry for total mercury and by HPLC-UV for methylmercury. The total mercury contents found in the post-mortem fluid and tissue samples were consentaneous with mercury poisoning. For the first case, the concentrations found, expressed in mug/g wet weight, were in the liver 49.9, lung 3.27 and brain 0.33, and for blood 11.7mug/mL. For the second case, the concentrations expressed in mug/g wet weight were in the liver 46.6, lung 14.6, brain 0.21, kidney 77.7, stomach 7.12, spleen 6.4 and heart 2.34, and for blood and urine 2.95 and 1.40mug/mL, respectively. Only in the first case was methylmercury found and quantified in liver (1.70mug/g wet weight) and in blood (0.15mug/mL) samples.
And in closing, you anti vaccinationists are not just nuts … but insanely dangerous!
Do you have a valid scientific reality-based source for what you say? I was just tested this past May 2008 and I have no unusual mercury levels in my blood. Since my mouth is full of fillings, I eat fish almost daily, and I have had all normal vaccines plus some extras like yellow fever, I should be glowing in the dark according to what you say. Don't post crap on the internet when you don't have a fricken clue.

31st Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
|CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
31st Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 6-10 June 2005
Agenda item 9.1
Synergies with other conventions: Collaboration on, and harmonization of, national reporting
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to consider and approve the attached draft Resolution for consideration by COP9.
Note by the Ramsar Secretariat
1. In March 2005 the Standing Committee's Subgroup on COP9 considered a report from the Secretariat on synergies with other conventions and, in particular, on initiatives underway to develop ways and means of making national reporting by Contracting Parties to multiple environmental agreements less onerous.
2. The Subgroup on COP9 requested that the Secretariat report fully to COP9 on synergies with other conventions and international environmental structures, and that it prepare a draft Resolution on harmonization of national reporting in the context of the work of the Biodiversity Liaison Group.
3. A full report on implementation of synergies with other conventions and international environmental structures will be prepared as a COP9 Information Paper. The draft COP9 Resolution requested is attached to this note.
Collaboration on, and harmonization of, national reporting among environment conventions and agreements
1. AWARE that at its 7th meeting, in 2004, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted Decision VII/26, which, inter alia,
Urged further enhanced cooperation between the Convention on Biological Diversity and all relevant international conventions, organizations and bodies, strengthening and building on existing cooperative arrangements to enhance synergies and reduce inefficiencies in a manner consistent with their respective mandates, governance arrangements and agreed programs, within existing resources;
Requested in this context, the Executive Secretary, to invite the secretariats of the other four biodiversity conventions (CITES, Ramsar, CMS and World Heritage Convention) to form a liaison group to enhance coherence and cooperation in their implementation, and to report on progress made to the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties; andRequested the Executive Secretary, drawing on the experience gained in the exercise mentioned above, and in close collaboration with relevant conventions, organizations and bodies, to examine options for a flexible framework between all relevant actors, such as a global partnership on biodiversity, in order to enhance implementation through improved cooperation, and to report to the Conference of the Parties at its eighth meeting on possible ways forward;
2. FURTHER AWARE that the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) held a consultative workshop on the issue of Harmonized National Reporting, and that this issue has been also discussed by the Biodiversity Liaison Group established under CBD Decision VII/26, and that this workshop specifically noted seven key issues, as annexed to this Resolution, which should be addressed by Contracting Parties and Secretariats in an effort to harmonize national reporting, at least in the biodiversity cluster of conventions and agreements;
3. RECALLING that Ramsar COP8 Resolution VIII.5 inter alia:
URGED Contracting Parties, the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), the Standing Committee, and the Bureau, in cooperation with the governing and subsidiary bodies and the secretariats of other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), the International Organization Partners, and other collaborators, to implement fully the actions contained in Operational Objective 13 of the Strategic Plan 2003-2008 on 'Collaboration with other institutions'; and
FURTHER URGED Contracting Parties to make renewed efforts to increase collaboration at the national level between the institutions and focal points responsible for the implementation of MEAs, including through ensuring their participation in National Ramsar Committees, so as to foster synergies and harmonisation; and
4. RECOGNISING that a number of Contracting Parties have found difficulties in completing their National Reports for the triennium 2003 -2005, due to the length and complexity of the National Report Format;
5. INSTRUCTS the Secretary General to take a full and effective part in all proceedings of the Biodiversity Liaison Group established under the aegis of the CBD and to report regularly to Standing Committee on progress achieved by this group;
6. ALSO INSTRUCTS the Secretary General, in consultation with Standing Committee, to undertake immediate work on ways and means to introduce a system of simpler but still effective National Reporting for the Convention; and to work with UNEP and other conventions and agreements to advance harmonization of national reporting; and
7. URGES Contracting Parties to develop ways and means at national level of improving liaison between the focal points of the Ramsar Convention and related conventions and agreements, and to communicate with the Secretariat on their progress with respect to harmonizing reporting for the biodiversity-related conventions.
Key issues for harmonizing national reporting
i) Purpose of reporting: In the interests of increasing the efficiency of reporting, conventions and agreements should clarify and refine the information they need in order to assess implementation and outcomes. They should also address the balance between reporting on implementation and reporting on outcomes, particularly in the light of the 2010 target. When requesting reports, conventions and agreements should also explain clearly what the information will be used for and how it will be analyzed.
ii) Focus of reporting: Reporting should relate to the decisions taken by the governing bodies, both providing information to support the decision-making process and reporting on actions taken to implement decisions and their effect.
iii) Coordination at international levels: The Biodiversity Liaison Group should consider establishing a technical task force to develop and promote a streamlined reporting agenda across conventions and agreements, taking account of the issues raised in the pilot projects, developments requested by governing bodies, and issues discussed during the EMG review of harmonization of reporting. The task force would comprise technical officers from the secretariats, supported as necessary by other appropriate experts. It is anticipated that the group and task force would work inter-sessionally to develop proposals which would be considered and adopted by governing bodies.
iv) Action by individual conventions: Conventions and agreements should also explore opportunities for taking concrete actions to reduce the reporting burden that they themselves control, for example by not adding new requests for information without removing existing requests in parallel, by reducing the amount of information requested, by linking reporting more closely to strategic planning, by exploring new mechanisms for reporting, and so on. This can be done within existing mandates given to most secretariats.
v) Thematic issues: Active consideration should be given to focusing on specific themes that are relevant across several conventions and agreements, and identifying means to harmonize approaches to information management and reporting, learning lessons from the CPF Task Force on Forest-related Reporting. Consideration might also be given to thematic reports on specific issues which would be relevant to all conventions and agreements which consider the issue. This may also be a matter for consideration by the Biodiversity Liaison Group.
vi) Web portal on reporting: The convention secretariats and UNEP-WCMC should work together to develop and maintain a single, multilingual website (and perhaps also a CD-ROM) that links to existing questionnaires, guidelines and other instructions that secretariats have provided for national reporting, as well as results of the work on streamlining and harmonization. This might also incorporate discussion fora and opportunities for sharing of experience. The Joint Web Site of the Biodiversity Related Conventions (currently hosted by CBD) should be investigated as a possible home for this.
vii) Capacity building: Capacity building activities for information management and reporting among local, national, regional and multilateral applications should focus on all three levels of capacity development: individual, institutional and systemic. It is also recommended that steps should be taken to ensure that the Global Environment Facility and the GEF Implementing Agencies take fully into account the coordination and information management required to support both implementation and reporting for the various MEAs when financing and implementing programmes.

In the realm of online combat, Battlefield 3 provides thrills that few games can match.
Destiny is a victim of the hype machine created around it. It's a refined console shooter that feels great during the action, but goes stale during just about every other component of the game.
Child of Light is a brave move from a mainstream developer, and one that hopefully heralds a new way forward.

Even though PS2 backward compatibility has been dropped from this version, the 80GB PS3 is still a superb Blu-ray player and high-definition game console.
Battlefield 4's campaign is an emotional ride packed with an impressive amount of graphical prowess. If you have the right hardware, Battlefield 4 will dazzle you with jaw-dropping detail and production value.
NHL 14 is still a fun, ultra-realistic hockey simulation, but veterans of the series may not find enough innovation and refinement to warrant a purchase at full price.
The Last of Us is brutally realistic, often shocking, but undeniably fun to play. It's easily one of the year's best games and the strongest console exclusive in a long time.
Remember Me is a beautifully realized depiction of a futuristic Neo-Paris set in the year 2084 where memories are a commodity.
BioShock Infinite is another masterful achievement in interactive storytelling and provides gamers with an overall experience unlike anything else.

The key usage of the programs is to make loans for longer payment durations based in component after looser underwriting criteria than regular commercial business loans, though these programs can enable proprietors with bad credit rating to get a financing. A company can qualify for the loan also if the yearly payment estimates previous year's earnings. A lot of financial institutions wish yearly payment for loans no even more than two-thirds (2/3) of previous year's operating revenues. Lower payments, longer terms and released criteria allow some businesses to obtain even more cash compared to otherwise.

Dressed like the front-men for a 1980s hair-band, standing before an auditorium of paying viewers, while singing thespians dance about around them, three NFL skill players are going down a road they know very little about.
The musical "Rock of Ages" cast Randall Cobb, Joique Bell and Ahman Green in speaking roles for its Super Bowl week shows. If any of those three aspire for a repeat performance, they should hope critics treat them better than those we approached on the street. Here is some of what was said:
"They're probably going to fumble the entire time."
"Be better on the field than in the show unless they can sing and dance."
"I'll take Reggie Bush over Joique Bell."
"Can they speak?"
If they can memorize a playbook, they should remember their lines. Professional football players debut on Broadway the same night the cast of "Motown the Musical" performed at media day.
The same week, an opera singer belts out the most-watched rendition of the National Anthem we'll see or hear until Super Bowl 49.
It seems Super Bowl 48 cares not for whatever societal norms separate thespians and football players. Both cultures exist on stages of sorts demand training religiously and attract legions of fans.
Still resisting? You'll give in eventually.

NYCC 2013 Day 4 – More Who, More Cosplay, More Friends, and More Fun.
Sunday at Comic Con had always been a day where things were a little quieter in the past. It was a good day to head out onto the floor, look for deals, maybe seek out a favorite artist and get to talk to them without being too rushed. This year, not so much. The demand for tickets has been so high, that Sunday's ticket has been a sell out too. I always loved … Continue reading

Birthday Special: Ridley Scott
Alien (1982)
Ridley Scott really hit his directing stride with his second film in this sci-fi shocker. A Space mining vessel, the Nostromo picks up an SOS call from a nearby planet and the crew investigate. However, while the rescuers probe what appears to be an alien hive, the Nostromo's onboard computer works out the SOS is in fact a warning. This film ensured Scott had a created a classic, which is still talked about 30 years later.

As we welcome spring flowers and blooming trees, some of us also say hello to itchy eyes, runny noses, and a persistent cough. But instead of just reaching for tissue, seasonal allergy sufferers can reach for their phones loaded with these handy allergy tracking apps. CNET's Kara Tsuboi reports in this Tech Minute.
This Hoover is tough on dust and allergens.
If you have primarily carpets in your home and want a sub-$200 vacuum cleaner that can help with your allergies and get pet hair and fine particles out of your carpets, the Hoover would make a good addition to your cleaning lineup.
Researchers say a new device called a soft X-ray electrostatic precipitator protected mice from airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens, and could some day be incorporated into HVAC systems.
Fisher & Paykel's washing machine eliminates allergens and does its part to save the planet.
Dyson shares three vacuum-free projects that were never green-lighted for production.
Yet another alleged "miracle" product has hit Kickstarter, but we're still some time away from a handheld food-analysing spectrometer.
The $149 Moneual Rydis UV-C Vacuum Cleaner U60 is certainly not the most expensive handheld vacuum, but it has a few cool features that might make it worth your while.
Stay informed of the latest product and allergen recalls concerning your children.
Here's where you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about vacuum cleaners -- and then some.

First, I hope yall got a chance to check out the package online and in print about some of the interesting majors that the football players have: http://www.ajc.com/sports/jackets-dogs-excel-in-the-classroom-127164.html
I'll say this, after reading the course descriptions for those classes, I don't know how in the world anybody graduates from college anymore. Of course, you know the old joke about journalists and math classes.
I also hope you enjoyed the special section previewing the college football season that was in Sunday's paper.
Anyway, we're six days away from the first game (depending upon when you read this). While I was at an outing Sunday afternoon, someone asked which player is going to make the most improvement this season.
My answer: Josh Nesbitt.
Johnson has said as much over the summer, and then he added last week that Nesbitt played the last half of last season with a bad ankle.
Based upon the improvement the offenses have shown between years 1 and 2 at Johnson's previous stops (as documented in the special section), Nesbitt's confidence and efficiency with the offense should be evident early against Jacksonville State.
Johnson's quarterbacks have rushed for more than 1,000 yards in the second season. Can Nesbitt do it? Will he improve his passing percentage, which was in the low 40s last season? Will he improve his yards per completion? Will he hurt teams with his passing this year?
I believe he will, and if so, this will be an interesting year to cover Georgia Tech football.

Good news!
August 30th, 2009
9:54 pm
AJC needs someone new to monitor the Tech fan blog… Chris doesn't post enough and doesn't even address the football team…. or discussion for that matter… Tech needs better coverage!
August 30th, 2009
9:56 pm
Nesbitt will be greatly improved…. IF HE REMAINS HEALTHY. His improvement will be a nice change from the lack of improvement that Reggie Ball showed during his 4 seasons under Chan. I now think we have the right coach and the right QB in place… now lets hope the special teams also improve.
August 30th, 2009
10:17 pm
I agree with Steve. It is going to be extremely hard for Josh to stay healthy, but IF he does, this is going to be a special year offensively for sure.
I am also hoping the offensive line improves along with the special teams. If our offense can win some games for us early on, maybe our defense can improve enough along the way to actually win a big one for us later in the season.
Go Jackets!!
August 30th, 2009

You reference the classroom article. It is funny to compare UGA's Art and Pyschology majors with Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering! There is no comparison to the difficulty of these 2 majors.

GTBUZZ you took the words right out of my mouth haha
August 30th, 2009
11:59 pm
Who is GTFan and why is he constantly putting down Tech's beat and fan bloggers?
In any case, I third GTBuzz in his sentiment. Anybody trying to compare psych and art to a hard science engineering degree should be inviting nothing but ridicule.
August 31st, 2009
12:45 am
Steve – I agree with you on both counts. It's really nice to be excited about the mental progression of a player, specifically the one who touches the ball on every play. I haven't had this kind of excitement since Reggie Ball was a sophomore (before I knew he would never be developed).
Also, Nesbitt does need to stay healthy, particularly through September. Two things should contribute greatly to this: better O-line and RB play should mean fewer touches for Nesbitt and resting in a lot of 4th quarters
I don't think Nesbitt will run for 1,000 yards because of the increased use of pitches and quick handoffs as well as a little higher perpensity to throw the ball. The TO really isn't the only play in the books.
August 31st, 2009
12:47 am
Welcome to the AJC where we have to play up ART and PSYCH so we don't offend our readers who support UGA….
I drove through Athens the other day and two PSYCH degrees and an ART degree fell into my backseat as I went through the McDonalds drive-through…
August 31st, 2009

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have a very successful season this year as they now have a better understanding of what is involved in operating the most devastating form of offensive football, the triple option.
To GTFan, go check out isportsweb.com for more Georgia Tech Football Articles and Coverage.
August 31st, 2009
5:20 am
Yes, I am excited about this season on the Flats, but I do agree with the sentiments of GTBuzz85, Minn Jackets, Engy on Education.
I do believe Nesbitt has a big year, but it don't think he will have to gain a 1000 yards to be sucessful for the Jackets. We have a lot of offensive weapons in our second year for the Coach Paul Johnson.
"It's almost time for College Football!"
Ramblin Wreck!
August 31st, 2009
7:07 am
let's see the improvement in our defense. no question the offense can handle a new season, but keeping the other offense off the field is what we need to improve on.
August 31st, 2009
7:12 am
Keep it up Chris! Agree with above comments about UGA Majors! "How many points is a 3-point shot worth?" THWG!
RC: Good point about UGA degrees! Good health to everyone.

The one thing you are going to see under Paul Johnson is more and better QB's. And QB's that are are coached UP.
Under the chan gomer gailey error, every QB he had got worse under him…not better. AJ Suggs and Reggie Ball both regressed under chan gomer gailey.
Well, thanks to God and Greyhound, chan gomer gailey, the worst coach in the history of the free world, the coach that destroyed Tech football for 6 long, sorry years is gone forever!! Any Tech fan, and especially Tech websites (like the Hive) that supported him and defended him and tolerated his miserable mediocrity and helped him destroy TECH football….all of them suck just as bad as chan does.
With Paul Johnson, we have a real college football coach…one that all Tech fans can be proud of and excited about….and one our opponents fear.
But all this enthusiasm and national attention is only possible because DRAD had the courage to get rid of the worst coach in history, chan gomer gailey…Thank God and Greyhound.

Josh looked good throwing the football in the fall scrimmages. Last year he sailed a lot of passes over the heads of the receivers but his footwork looked a lot better. With Dwyer, Allen, Nesbitt and Jones coming at defenses from all angles there will be a lot of defensive coordinators with ulcers this year.

m, many of us agree whole-heartedly with you on what happened during the Gailey years….that said, don't you think it is time to put that era behind us? Chan was and always will be a stand up guy of high character. Let it go.

What made that even more impressive was that he did that for Mars Hill College against that football power house, North Greenville University!! The only thing I know about Mars Hill is that they have a pretty good community theater group there in the summer.
Meanwhile, GT recruit Charles Perkins runs for 303 yards and a TD for Collins Hill against Parkview.
Actually, Parkview could probably beat both Mars Hill College and North Greenville University.

Sarge and Bobin…frankly guys I could not ask for a better start to the first gameday week…(just saying that is giving me chill bumps)…Great stuff guys absolutey great stuff!!
Also Nes I think will be a little bit better this year (injury whise) because I really think he will take fewer hits once our passing game opens up…BUT to all Jackets we need to all be hoping for a VT win against Alabama ( I know I hate the Hokies to BUT… we need them to be good so when we beat them we look even beter) With that said to Hell with Georgia…Roddy is still running…and we are 5 days away..
August 31st, 2009

Amazed at how much better not only GT but football in general is covered by the Macon newspaper over the AJC. I have been an avid AJC reader for 30+ years and this past year has really seen it go downhill. Macon Telegraph…you have done outstanding!!!
The GT blog has someone that lacks both football IQ and most especially any caring or loyalty to his responsibilities. Why not have a GT fan contest of some kind to see who wants this job? State the amount of money it pays and the weekly responsibilities and I guarantee you would get better articles and much less criticism.
August 31st, 2009
10:37 am
Maybe GTFan spends to much time on the blog. Get a life dude! The coverage is just fine. Nesbitt is destin to have a great year. Can't wait for Saturday… THWG!!
August 31st, 2009
10:56 am
I'm glad he's gone too, Now let's put him in the same category as B— L—-, simply don't mention him at all. We've much more positive things to dwell on thanks to DRad and CPJ!

The reason I keep mentioning chan gomer gailey is because those that forget the past are DOOMED to repeat it. And the chan gomer gailey error must not be repeated.
And most of you that criticize me are the sorry lowdown gailey tolerators that propped him up for 6 long years. Every one of you that EVER tolerted or defended chan gomer gailey in ANY way…you suck even worse than he does.
You have a lot of nerve to come on here and criticize me and act happy about Paul Johnson when if you fools had had your way we would still have that sorry chan gomer gailey here.
Thank God and Greyhound that the sorriest coach in the history of mankind is gone forever…too bad he didn't take his pathetic idiotic supporters with him.
August 31st, 2009
12:40 pm
I heard goff is ready to be a bulldog too… Idiot.
We need to call this offense the Wreck Bone. Hey some student make t shirts they will sell.
m is who he is, just like a scorned chick who can't get over the past.
Nesbitt will be fine, any other qbs out there that can power clean 350 lbs? None come to mind except Tebow.
GaTech is gonna have a fun September in my opinion.
Lay off Doug. I agree our fan blogger is not posting like the jy dog, but he probably has a bit less time, probably more demanding work schedule a bit younger.
The telegraph is a good paper and his articles are good but Doug posts more info and quicker too.
What I want to see from Doug is plenty of coverage for Hoops. Tech will be ranked and hoops coverage is always poor at best. And that's the sport our conference dominates and we will be in the thick of it. I just want the same level of coverage Doug has had on tech football this pre-season he has done well.
Go Jackets!!
August 31st, 2009
12:46 pm
My concern continues to be that Nesbitt has shown he's a little injury prone. So we will need to really have a backup and wiht Shaw out someone has to step up!
August 31st, 2009
12:57 pm
I'm like everyone else here, I'm quite concerned that Nes remains healthy. Last year he had a hamstring problem 1/3 of the way thru the season, if I recall correctly; I hope he's strengthened those hammys.
Also, I think there is some merit to teaching the QBs what to do AFTER they get rid of the ball (like get out of the hitting zone). I imagine there are a lot of DCs that will tell their guys "I don't care if he has the ball or not, I want him knocked down on every play". A lot of the time injuries happen when a player is not paying attention and gets rolled up, etc. I'd be worrying about that with all the defenders following the flow of the play; I can just see some DT falling into Nes's legs "unintentionally" after we've rolled up about 300 yds rushing.
August 31st, 2009
1:08 pm
Hairy Dawg, you can only wish such luck would happen!
August 31st, 2009
1:30 pm
I really think Jordan will really step up along with Tevin to secure that backup spot (and just for reference Jaybo was only there as a placeholder until PJ could get a better quarterback for his system)..
Things I am hoping to see though at the first game
1. D-Line really shows that it can hold its own and allow our LB's and Secondary to make plays, they don't have to be great but they have to hold their own against teams we play.
2. Who will step up and become are #2 reciever to give Nes another option when passing.
3. Will our offensive line jell enough in this game in order to withstand the rough next 2 games against an athletic Clemson and Miami teams?
If anyone has any insight Id be glad to hear it!
THWG and Roddy is still running

m, if you want to talk about issues with GA Tech Coaches, where were you during the Bill Lewis days?
At least GA Tech was able to recruit great players under Chan Gailey, they made Bowl games consistently, and they upset Top Twenty Five Teams every year. Please, pray tell me, m, why is the Chan Gailey era so much worse than the Bill Lewis era?
Now if you even attempt to say that GA Tech's Team's fared better under Bill Lewis than under Chan Gailey, then you are more delusional than everyone even imagines. You HAVE to admit that those were worse off than under the Gailey years.
Bill Lewis was an even worse head coach for GA Tech than Chan Gailey; THEREFORE, m; it's time to put the dumb comments to bed because I've just proved you wrong beyond a reasonable doubt.
August 31st, 2009

Where the heck is Jacksonville, AL anyway? I hope they don't dominate like Garner Webb did! You actually have a real game a 5 days later!
August 31st, 2009
1:49 pm
Clemson grad…yeah that Middle Tennessee team seems to be a pretty huge threat as well. I mean I am sorry that you don't know how to use a map or the internet to find out where Jacksonville is but frankly you can only use that comment when your team plays a good team in the same week.
August 31st, 2009

I usually don't post on these blogs, but considering it is almost the start of the season I felt compelled to say something in support of our team. As most of you probably know, we are not known to be the best fan base as far as attendance goes. Lets change that THIS YEAR! PLEASE SHOW UP TO THE GAMES AND BRING FRIENDS (even if it is Jacksonville state). Remember last year how all of UF's fans stayed for all 4 quarters of the beat down against Citadel? GUYS WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS! I KNOW WE ARE PROUD OF OUR NEW TEAM AND COACH!!! LETS MAKE THEM PROUD OF US BY SHOWING UP AND SUPPORTING THEM AT GAMES!!! GO JACKETS!!!!!

M is most likely a UGA sidewalk fan just trying to agitate GT alums. Why even respond to him?

If he remains healthy, I believe Nesbitt runs for around 1,100 yards easy. As far as his passing efficiency goes, well that remains to be seen. He certainly can't get much worse. Nonetheless, his decision making will be much better, which will equate to more yardage for everyone else.

At least we know what state Middle Tennessee is in. I thought Jacksonville State was in Fl until someone gave me the great idea of looking it up on the internet. You guys are computer wizzes! But if I was from GA I wouldn't have chosen to go to the crime ridden, rat hole, with no women, a consistantly mediocre football, with bunch of geeks on campus… ga tech.

Chan Gailey fired by Kansas City! The article says he was fired by Georgia Tech. I am not a Tech fan, but thought I recalled Gailey taking the job as head coach of Notre Dame… lying about his resume… and then not being invited back to Tech after that. He quit at Tech and wasn't allowed to return after his embarrassment at Notre Dame. Is that not what happened?

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Yeah, I get that. But I'm saying when you sleep with your married BOSS. The person with the POWER TO FIRE YOU. And his WIFE FINDS OUT. And you get FIRED. You shouldn't be surprised. I mean, it could be the same case if they were BOTH SINGLE and their relationship just ended on bad terms and he fired her. That's why most places either heavily discourage that kind of thing or even outright forbid it. Is it right? That's a different discussion.
BUT when people tweet "When guys cheat they don't get fired" that implies that she DID get fired for cheating. WHICH SHE DIDN'T.
Like I said. If she wasn't dating anyone. And she did the same thing. She would have lost her job. I don't see how you don't get that?
But losing your job has nothing to do with cheating.
She didn't lose it because she cheated. He didn't because he cheated. They aren't connected. That would be weird and fucked up.
She lost her job because she made the stupid decision of sleeping with her boss who was married. Whose wife then stepped up and said "Nope, either she doesn't do the movie or you don't do the movie." It had nothing to do with like, some cosmic mandate that ladies who cheat on their boyfriends lose their jobs and men who cheat on their wives don't.
Whether or not any of that is morally right or anything is an entirely different story. But it's one that people aren't really discussing because they keep trying to say the cheating was the issue, when it really wasn't.
Dude, I get anon hate now! I've officially "made it."
Uh, I play current games too, bro? But keep in mind: I moved to a foreign country (where video games are so much more expensive fuuuck) and I'm kinda poor (sorry if rent is higher on the priority list, lolol).
And I don't understand how purposefully posting quotes of me being bad at video games (like calling the assassin in the first Assassin's Creed game Ezio or being mad at Oracle of Ages because I'm stuck) is me feigning an interest in video games? I mean. If that's my intent, if I am truly trying to fool you all into thinking I'm something more than I am, I'm doing a really shit job.
that last part tho lol guyz tom lieks me cos i play vidya gaems :3
Because referring to Mass Effect 3 as the "space pirate" game whenever he mentions it wouldn't tip him off that I'm not exactly the hardest of the core. Anon sure has me pegged.
Also, as a side note? That wasn't a word.
Hey Jacob, now that we're using the same definitions, do you still disagree with what I said originally?
Sorry, which one? There were three anon messages. Are you talking about the attention seeking one?

There is a way to reverse Facebook's new forced email address.
Newly-IPO'd Facebook just made a bewildering mistake that's going to piss a lot of users off. Remember Facebook email? Of course you don't. In a stunning move, Facebook apparently just changed the contact info for every user from a user-assigned email address to @facebook. Here's how you switch it back.
Since 2010, all Facebook users were automatically assigned an "@facebook" email address. Even if you didn't use it, it was there as an option, which is fine.
In a move to boost usage of the email that nobody apparently wants, Facebook just went ahead and made the "@facebook" email the default on your profile. Say, what? Yeah, Facebook just changed your default email without notifying you.
It's unknown if this was a mistake, but we've confirmed with two of our editors that the change has indeed been made. Here's how to change it back:
This was a really odd move on Facebook's part and will no doubt get everyone up in a huff. So unless you want people on Facebook to actually send you emails to your @facebook email, spread the word on how to reset Facebook's new change.
Without any official word from Facebook, this story is still developing. It all started with a Forbes report by Kashmir Hill, who found that her default Facebook email address (and that of many others), had switched from one she picked to a Facebook-assigned email address. She first spotted the issue here, as raised by programmer Gervase Markham.

Heart attack - discharge
Alternate Names
Myocardial infarction - discharge; MI - discharge; Coronary event - discharge; Infarct - discharge
When You Were in the Hospital
You were in the hospital because you had a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of your heart is blocked long enough that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies.
What to Expect at Home
You may feel sad. You may feel anxious and as though you have to be very careful about what you do. All of these feelings are normal. They go away for most people after 2 or 3 weeks. You may also feel tired when you leave the hospital to go home.
You should know the signs and symptoms of angina.
- You may feel pressure, squeezing, burning, or tightness in your chest. You may also notice these symptoms in your arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, throat, or back.
- Women may feel discomfort in their back, shoulders, and stomach area.
- You may have indigestion or feel sick to your stomach.
- You may feel tired and be short of breath, sweaty, lightheaded, or weak.
- You may have angina during physical activity, such as climbing stairs or walking uphill, lifting, sexual activity, or when you are out in cold weather. It can also happen when you are resting or wake you up when you are sleeping.
Know how to treat your chest pain when it happens. Talk with your doctor or nurse about what to do. See also: Angina - when you have chest pain
Take it easy for the first 4 to 6 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting. Get some help with household chores if you can. Take 30 to 60 minutes to rest in the afternoon for first 4 to 6 weeks. Try to go to bed early and get plenty of sleep. See also: Being active after a heart attack
You should be able to talk comfortably when you are doing any activity -- such as walking, setting the table, and doing laundry. If you cannot, stop the activity.
Ask your doctor about when you can return to work. Expect to be away from work for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Your doctor may refer you to cardiac rehabilitation program. There, you will learn how to slowly increase your exercise and how to take care of your heart disease.
Wait at least 2 weeks before sexual activity. Ask your doctor when it is okay to start again. Do not take Viagra, Levitra, Cialis or any herbal remedy for erection problems without checking with your doctor first.
Diet and Lifestyle
Do not drink any alcohol for at least 2 weeks. Ask your doctor when you may start. Limit how much you drink. Women should have only 1 drink a day, and men should have no more than 2 a day. Try to drink alcohol only when you are eating.
If you smoke, stop. Ask your doctor for help quitting if you need it. Do not let anybody smoke in your home, since second-hand smoke can harm you. Try to stay away from things that are stressful for you. If you are feeling stressed all the time, or if you are feeling very sad, talk with your doctor or nurse. They can refer you to a counselor.
Learn more about what you should eat to make your heart and blood vessels healthier.
See also:
Taking Your Heart Medicines
Have your drug prescriptions filled before you go home. It is very important that you take your drugs the way your doctor or nurse told you to. Do not take any other drugs or herbal supplements without asking your doctor first if they are safe for you.
Take your drugs with water. Do NOT take them with grapefruit juice, since it may change how your body absorbs certain medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information about this.
The drugs below are given to most people after they have had a heart attack. Sometimes there is a reason they may not be safe to take, though. These drugs help prevent another heart attack. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you are not already on any of these drugs:
- Antiplatelets drugs (blood thinners), such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or warfarin (Coumadin), to help keep your blood from clotting
- Beta-blockers and ACE inhibitor medicines to help protect your heart.
- Statins or other drugs to lower your cholesterol.
See also:
Do NOT suddenly stop taking these drugs for your heart. Do NOT stop taking drugs for your diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other medical conditions you may have without talking with your doctor first.
If you are taking a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin), you may need to have extra blood tests on a regular basis to make sure your dose is correct.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you feel:
- Pain, pressure, tightness, or heaviness in your chest, arm, neck, or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Gas pains or indigestion
- Numbness in your arms
- Sweaty, or if you lose color
- Lightheaded
Changes in your angina may mean your heart disease is getting worse. Call your doctor if your angina:
- Becomes stronger
- Happens more often
- Lasts longer
- Occurs when you are not active or when you are resting
- Medicines do not help ease your symptoms as well as they used to

A Structuralist Analysis of Conradian Narrative in The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'
Conrad, as a novelist, not only endeavored to delve into human being's mental world and innate nature, but also laid enormous stress on the form of fiction and the innovation of writing techniques. The Nigger of the 'Narcissus', an important landmark at the beginning of Conrad's major phase, is Conrad's first experiment in methods of descriptive rendering. Besides, the whole story is told by the crewman-narrator but there is evidently a combination of authorial and personal narrative. Moreover, the intricate interaction of changes in perspective and distance, which often attracted attention and interest from critics and readers alike, serve to enhance the thematics of solidarity and work ethic and the aesthetic value of this novel.
Key words: Conradian narrative; Perspective and distance; The use of FID; Prolepsis

Supplements Gaining Respect
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On October 30, the German drug company Bayer : BAYRY.PK) agreed to buy Schiff Nutrition International ) for $1.2 billion or $34 per share in cash. Schiff is a leading manufacturer of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and nutrition bars globally, focusing on the areas of joint care, heart health, immune support, and probiotics. The rich price tag values the company at 4.6 times FY2012 sales and 87.6 times FY2012 net income. Schiff joins Bayer's Healthcare Group, which generated sales of €17.2 billion in the most recent fiscal year. Bayer is betting heavily on a continuation of recent sales growth trends, with Schiff forecasting 43-46% sales growth during FY2013.
During FY2012, Schiff generated net sales of $258.9 million and net income of $3.7 million, increases of 21.2% and 8.6%, respectively, over the prior year. The gross margin expanded to 46.1%, the highest level of the past few years and above the five year average of 40.6%. Meanwhile, operating and net margins of 9.8% and 5.3%, respectively, were in line with the prior year and below the five year averages. During 2012, the company grew primarily through acquisitions, purchasing two probiotic brands and the Airborne brand of immune support products. These purchases were in line with the company's strategic move toward more profitable, branded products and away from private label products. Schiff's recent quarterly results bear the fruit of this strategy, as the company's results showed improved growth and exceeded the market's expectations. Net sales for the quarter ending August 31, 2012 were $85.1 million and net income was $6.0 million, increases of 46.2% and 28.2%, respectively. Operating margins also improved during the quarter, as the recent acquisitions have led to improved product lines and greater efficiencies in sales and marketing activities.
The merger with Bayer follows previous deals in the sector, as drug companies try to diversify into alternative areas outside of the traditional pharmaceutical business. According to industry estimates, 2010 sales of nutritional supplements were approximately $29 billion, as consumers sought to promote health and extend their active lifestyles. The nutritional supplement industry enjoys relatively light oversight, due to a 1994 law passed by Congress that regulates the products as a food product, rather than as a drug. As a result, FDA approval is generally not needed prior to sale, although manufacturers must determine product safety prior to marketing activities. More recent laws have added good manufacturing practices and reporting requirements for adverse events, as the FDA seeks to protect consumers from unsafe products. While the requirements have added costs, smart companies have been able to differentiate themselves through quality manufacturing processes and strong customer service.
Now that Schiff has decided to sell to a larger competitor, where will an investor find the next promising investment in the sector? Since the industry is highly fragmented and most of the companies are privately owned, a direct investment is unlikely. Instead, investors should be looking down the distribution chain. While the majority of the industry's sales are to the mass merchandisers, Costco Wholesale and Wal-Mart in Schiff's case, investors should be looking at the specialty retailers with knowledgeable sales staffs and a diversified geographic presence. These retailers, including GNC ) and Vitamin Shoppe ), have been earning a larger share of consumers' wallets and have continued to report strong results. In the third quarter of 2012, GNC reported revenues and net income of $621.6 million and $62.6 million, increases of 15.5% and 28.5%, respectively. The company grew its net store count and customer base during the quarter, with same store sales rising 9.8%. Meanwhile, Vitamin Shoppe reported a similarly strong business environment during the third quarter of 2012, with revenues and net income of $239.0 million and $16.3 million, increases of 14.4% and 36.8%, respectively. The company kept pace with its larger competitor by also growing its store count and customer base, reporting a same store sales increase of 9.6% during the quarter. Looking ahead to 2013, both companies expect further increases to their base of stores and their ability to generate increasing sales in existing stores.
The nutrition business is healthy, as the manufacturers and distributors of the industry's products can attest to through their financial results. Investors have recognized the industry's growth trajectory, with share prices for GNC and Vitamin Shoppe having increased approximately 25% and 51%, respectively, in 2012. Given the companies' recent share price appreciation and above average P/E multiples, investors should watch and wait for an opportunity to invest on any pullback in share prices.
