Earlier this week, a Fox executive said he'd be interested in having Britney Spears return to The X Factor next season. But according to TMZ.com , Brit has already made up her mind -- she's not coming back.
The website reports Britney is quitting the show and is turning her attention back to her music career, including her work on a new album as well as a possible tour. A source says, "Britney loves Simon [ Cowell ], she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music."
Then again, Us Weekly recently reported that Britney was going to be fired from The X Factor .
Britney joined the singing competition as a judge and mentor for its second season, reportedly earning 15 million dollars.

I've got a new piece out analyzing the future of the Mekong — one of the world's greatest rivers which is under threat from a range of development, demographic and climate change-related pressures.
Here is an abstract:
The future of the Mekong, one of the world's greatest and resource-rich rivers which flows through China and mainland Southeast Asia, is in peril. A string of hydropower projects by riparian nations, coupled with strong development and demographic pressures and gloomy climate change scenarios, threatens to alter the river. These trends have the potential to trigger a serious crisis characterized by water shortages, forced migration, food insecurity, prolonged floods and droughts, thereby affecting the livelihoods of tens of millions of people, undermining the economies of riparian states, and stoking bilateral tensions. Such a scenario is not only damaging to the immediate countries themselves, but inimical to the interests of outside actors like the United States, which seek a peaceful, stable and prosperous Asia. In order to avert serious crisis along the Mekong, the six nations through which the river flows and outside actors must undertake serious measures on both an individual and regional basis.

BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts is receiving $5.3 million from the federal government to help disabled, low-income people avoid becoming homeless or confined to institutions.
State officials say the funds from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development will provide supportive housing units and rental assistance to 100 people who are transitioning out of institutional care or are at extreme risk of becoming homeless.
Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray says the federal funding will help the state meet its eventual goal of creating 1,000 units of permanent supportive housing by 2015.
U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano says it will allow low-income people with disabilities live independently in their communities.

Lucinda M. Babers
Lucinda Babers is a well-qualified executive with a proven track record in business management, leadership and service delivery. She has experience managing projects and people, delivering customer service and leading change for both government agencies and private organizations.
On December 17, 2010, Babers was reappointed as the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles after serving in this capacity since July of 2007. During the past years, Babers has led the agency in significant and innovative changes, including the closure of a service center and the elimination of safety inspections for passenger vehicles. The addition of numerous online services resulted in the agency receiving an International Customer Service Award from the American Association of Motor Vehicles Administrators.
Prior to being confirmed as Director, she served as the Deputy Director for the DC DMV from 2004 until 2007. In that position, she was in charge of departmental operations, including licensing, titling, registration, inspection and adjudication functions. She revamped Dealer Services by introducing yearly dealer training, revised registration procedures, conducted violation hearings resulting in over 59 dealer suspensions/revocations, increased security features of temporary tags and eliminated issuance of temporary tags by used car dealerships. She also reviewed and revised numerous customer service processes, such as the medical review process, that contributed to the District of Columbia Federation of Citizens Association unanimously recognizing the Department of Motor Vehicles as the "Greatest Improvement in Public Service for 2006".
Prior to coming to the DC DMV, Babers served in several senior management positions at Amtrak, including the project manager for the company's service guarantee initiative. Babers is no stranger to DC government, previously working on management reform projects for the city manager during the Control Board era and serving as an internal consultant/project manager for the city administrator and corrections. Babers started her career as an officer in the military.

Experience sun-filled days, a newly completed swimming pool and deck, magnificent views and all the creature comforts you would expect from a truly memorable holiday, a perfect peace, no traffic, no television, no newspapers, no pollution. A holiday that makes the outside world and all the daily stresses seem a million miles away in another time… A retreat to a place that lures people back time and time again for longer periods
Experience an unspoilt pristine paradise that offers good diving all year round. The fjordlands open onto pristine blue tropical waters of the coastline of Oro Province and Cape Nelson with many uncharted reefs, underwater WWII dive sites and stunning marine biodiversity. There is a ribbon reef system, not unlike the Barrier Reef in Australia, (nearest reef (excluding our famous House Reef which is 3 minutes from the resort) is only 15 minutes' boat trip away) running parallel to the shore. The reefs come up out of nowhere from a depth of around 600m, hence the unreal visibility. There is abundant fish life, with large schools of pelagics. Such as a variety of tuna, spanish mackerel, barracuda, white tip reef sharks and the uncommon white hammerhead sharks. Manta and Eagle Rays are often lazily cruising by. The adjacent mainland areas have a rich local cultural heritage and a scenic beauty that has to be seen to be believed. The best time is from October through mid-June for the really flat seas.
Experience where local tribal villages give visitors an insight into indigenous culture, through a range of specially designed cultural activities. Tufi offers a truly cultural experience that no other resort has to offer from outrigger safaris, treks to remote locations, to cultural shows and overnight stays in village guesthouses.
Experience the orchids, birds and butterflies of the rainforest and lowland areas through guided bushwalks and overnight treks that are as outrageously beautiful as the underwater scenery enjoyed by divers.
Experience - a tourist paradise just waiting to be explored
Experience -it all at TUFI.

Latte, Macchiato, Café con panna, espresso...Are you keeping up with the trend? When visiting your local coffee shop, smiling at your favorite barista, do you feel like a kid in a candy shop; you just don't know when to quit?
Read more
It's yet another early morning in your world, and you just can't for the life of you function without that sacred cup of coffee. I know the drill; I live it every day. Have you ever sat down, taken a sip, and wondered where on earth that treasured coffee really came from? Yeah, me neither.
Ah, coffee, one of my most favorite things in the world. I absolutely love, love, love it! I began drinking coffee at a young age, though my parents and grandparents would give me a little coffee with a lot of milk and some sugar. As I got older, I cut way back on the additives and savored the pureness of coffee more. There is something about the smell of fresh grounds and the sound of a percolating pot that is so soothing to me.
I grew up watching my parents drink coffee every day, either black or with cream. Those were the only two choices. Then, a few years back, the Starbucks craze caught on, and you see people everywhere drinking all kinds of coffee all the time. Not just with cream, but a "Grande Latte" with extra foam (whatever that is, I don't drink coffee). But who decided that coffee was the new big fad and that "everyone everywhere" needed it?

This latest entry into the pantheon of Blackberries (the Torch 9800) is a little on the lacking side, for what it is. It isn't as powerful as the Focus or the iPhone (either of them), and it doesn't even rock as lovely a display or as big of a hard drive, either. What it does have in spades is… well, nothing, really. The battery is not really what most people want in a smartphone these days, as it just does not last all that long. Maybe if you were able to get one for free this would be a good deal. But in its current form, most of what this new Blackberry has going for it is the fact that it looks very nice- never underestimate the power of eye candy.
There is just something about phones where a set of buttons pop out of the bottom. It is almost like watching a very short magic show, when the keys come out and you can just type away. The Blackberry features a full QWERTY keyboard (albeit a rather small one), so you won't ever have any problem finding which key you want, if you are used to typing normally. So when you whip out your Blackberry (because you know you'll buy one just because it looks good) and the keyboard swings out, people are going to marvel at it. And they will also marvel at how easily you can browse the Net and read e-mails, because of the pinch zooming capabilities the Blackberry brings to bear. If you like easy navigation, this might actually be the smartphone for you, in spite of its limitations. Although it might be nicer if they'd dropped the trackpad.
Of course, this is not really the phone for long conversations. At 330 minutes of talking time or 432 hours of idle time, it's okay. But it doesn't compare to most of the other smart phones out on the market today.

This week's Throwback Thursday pick is something I'm sure you're familiar with if you've been stuck with jury duty in the last decade, and I'll be talking more about it shortly but make sure you listen at 7:40 this morning - to win a pass for two to the "Metallica: Through The Never" movie - in IMAX 3D, starting on September 27th at Regal Signature Theatres and a two-disk copy of their "Metallica: Through The Never" album!
Also coming up this morning is I'm announcing this week's KPOI Goal line Games winner at 9:20. So listen up, it could be you!
Now for that throwback I talked about. This week's throwback is a logic-based, number placement puzzle that was sold in the form of paperback books - BEFORE the days of Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja. What am I talking about? Yep - Sudoku Puzzles.
And with the USPS planning on increasing their First-Class mail from 46 cents to 49 cents (see story [here]), I think we should bring back carrier pigeons. Carrier Pigeons would bring new jobs. Poop cleaners and bird trainers.
There's the bonus of being able to roast the pigeon after it delivers your mail. Like a pizza that delivers itself.

There were some positives in last night's game–the Nail Yakupov goal was a delight and his reaction a moment for all to remember–but for Edmonton Oilers fans the home opener felt exactly like being run over. Great expectations meet epic fail. The Wednesday morning question is: who do you blame?
I suspect that there's plenty to go around. Devan Dubnyk's taking his share, although aside from the Couture goal I don't really see a lot he could do about the bullets being fired his way. He wasn't giving up goals to 4th lines shooting from inside the blue, these were expert marksmen on the loose playing a team that was running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I don't know how much of this is on coach Krueger, but do wonder what the plan was for line matching. The penalties and GA made this game a farce quickly, but the early results (Thornton line began the game and had a 37-second shift against Smid-Petry and the Horcoff-Smyth-Hartikainen line) were encouraging. The second EV shift had the Thornton line out against Gagner's group and Whitney-Potter and after that the PP goals changed the game forever. I would like to have seen how Krueger handled the Thornton line in a close game, and whether or not he would have moved Taylor Hall onto the Gagner line in order to give it a better chance as a secondary tough minutes group.
I thought Hartikainen played well on that line, don't know that he's showing enough in these minutes to keep the position when Ryan Jones returns. When you're in doubt about these things, bet the veteran 10/10 times and you'll make money.
I'd like to see new lines this morning:
- Gagner-Hall-Hemsky (tough minutes line)
- Horcoff-Smyth-Paajarvi (tough minutes line)
- RNH-Yakupov-Eberle (soft parade)
- Belanger-Hartikainen-Petrell (don't let anything happen line)
The Gagner line has a much better chance with Hall on it and putting the three kids together all the time makes the club easier to match up against every night. I'd prefer Paajarvi on the tough minutes line because he's a better fit, but have been impressed with Hartikainen in limited exposure this year.
The Nuge line can rock it and the 4line looks better than in days gone by.
Last night reminds us that once again the Edmonton Oilers have some balance issues. They need a more capable backup goalie at some point this season, and we've talked about Ben Bishop a few times before. If the Senators offered Bishop in exchange for Magnus Paajarvi, would you do it? Would you do a 2nd round pick? Martin Marincin? Would you trade Oscar Klefbom for Ben Bishop?
I think we're going to have to agree that Ryan Whitney is not going to be able to play at the levels needed to be a guy you can count on. I suspect he'll get a contract in the summer, because the guy is such a wonderful passer, but he's never going to be a defensive stalwart and that means a gigantic reduction in salary.
The Oilers need to spend that money on a defenseman with a complete player's skills, and at this point that means a trade or free agent acquisition. I think Jeff Petry and Justin Schultz belong in the complete D conversation, their wide range of skills will be a big help to the Oilers in the coming seasons.
Adding a healthy 2-way defender with the Whitney money is the right thing to do. A bad break for Whitney, its a cruel business.

AUSTIN -- That season-opening loss to Florida Gulf Coast is looking better every day for the University of Miami Hurricanes. UM players said they are not at all surprised to see the little-known Fort Myers team making noise in the NCAA Tournament.
"I wasn't surprised, just because of how they put it on us early in the season," said Trey McKinney Jones. "They're a great team and very confident. They weren't ready to back down at all. They put the pedal to the metal and they didn't stop."
Said Julian Gamble: "They're a little bit similar to us in that they play with a chip on their shoulder. I grew up with one of the players on their team, Eric McKnight, so I know the type of struggles he's gone through to get to this moment. So, I wasn't surprised at all. It just goes to show in this tournament seedings don't matter."
As soon as FGCU went up on Georgetown in the opening game, Shane Larkin and Kenny Kadji posted comments on Twitter. From Larkin: "People thought we were weak when we lost to Florida Gulf Coast early in season, hope those ppl are watching them play right now!!"
Kadji said every UM player chose FGCU to beat Georgetown. "The way they played against us at their place was unbelievable. I knew that was not a fluke."
Familiar Face
Miami-Dade College fans watching Sunday's game between Florida and Minnesota probably noticed a familiar face. Minnesota senior center Trevor Mbakwe is a St. Paul, Minn., native but spent the 2008-09 season at Miami-Dade after transferring from Marquette.
He told reporters he was approached by former UM coach Frank Haith about transferring to the Hurricanes after averaging 16.3 points and 13.2 rebounds for Miami-Dade. But he chose to go back home. Mbakwe led the Big Ten in rebounding this season with 8.8 rebounds per game.
"It's a big state," Mbakwe said. "They produce a lot of athletes, football- and basketball-wise. Even with Florida Gulf Coast [making Sweet 16], it shows how good throughout the whole state, how good basketball is."
Larkin averages 36.2 minutes per game, so he felt very strange playing only 29 minutes against Pacific in the Canes' 78-49 tournament-opening win. UM was ahead 40-19 at halftime, so coach Jim Larrañaga used the opportunity to play his entire bench for a change.
"I wasn't tired and I was dry when came into locker room," Larkin said. "It was a new feeling for me. First time I've played under 30 minutes all season. It was a humbling feeling knowing we got it done, but at the same time, I like playing, wish I had been out there longer."
All seven bench players got in the game against Pacific, and they combined for 28 points. Even walk-ons Steve Sorenson and Justin Heller will forever be able to say they played in the NCAA Tournament.
Sorenson, a freshman, was particularly excited because he grew up in Austin and Dallas.
"When we were watching the Selection Show in Greensboro, I saw that we had the two seed and I looked down at the subscript and I saw Austin, Texas, and I couldn't have been more ecstatic,'' Sorenson said. "I haven't been here in a long time and it feels great to come back.''
Scalpers unhappy
A scalper was quoted in the Austin American-Statesman saying he was not thrilled to have UM, University of Florida and UCLA playing here because he is having a hard time getting rid of his ticket supply.
"Why didn't we get Oklahoma State or any Big 12 school?" scalper Nick Jones said. "These Florida schools and UCLA, they stay at home, on the beach, whatever."

Tumultuous times in housing
Interest rates are headed up, adding more pressure to a sector that is just starting to recover.
And that took its toll on homebuilder stocks, which had been on a roll in the last few months. The S&P 500 Homebuilder group broke below its 50-day moving average, the Bespoke Investment Group reported. You can see the ups and downs of the week on the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB).
The rising mortgage rates could crater the fragile recovery that we're just starting to see in the housing market.
It doesn't help that the Fed is putting less money into the market now, having ended a program that bought up about $1.25 trillion in securities backed by home mortgages, according to Bloomberg.
That all but guaranteed that mortgage rates were headed higher. And don't forget that the first time home buyer tax credit expires at the end of this month.
So the housing market -- and homebuyer stocks -- are going to get even more pressure. This threat has already been priced into the market, as has the possibility that 30-year mortgage rates might head higher, perhaps even to 6%.
Post continues after video:
Other real-estate sectors aren't out of the woods wither. Shopping malls are still trying to attract tenants, dropping lease rates 3% from a year ago to nearly $39 a square foot, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Vacancy rates are still increasing, hitting 8.9% in the largest U.S. cities. One researcher told the Journal that rent rates won't start growing until the middle of next year at the earliest.
But apartments, at least, seem to be faring better. Apartment rates went up in the first quarter -- the first increase in more than a year, the Journal reported. The apartment vacancy rate stayed at about 8% nationally.

When I saw this at my friend Lisa & Gus' wedding lunch, the odds were against me liking it. As I've noted before, I will not usually choose to mix fruit with savory foods. I don't like mayo. I'm always worried that chicken will be overcooked and dry. The reason I tried this salad was not even to be polite--but because I know Lisa is a rockstar in the kitchen. She doesn't make anything that isn't outstandingly tasty. And if this was a lunch she made for her own wedding, it had to be good.
Friends, "good" is the understatement of the century.
When I first tried this, I was struck by the tenderness of the cold chicken. The mayo taste is light and not all up in your face. Tart apples provide zing, dried cherries a little sweetness and tons of flavor. The celery adds a pleasant crunch. At the wedding, it was paired with sourdough from the incomparable Mirabelle's bakery in Urbana, IL. Swoon.
Something (god knows what, probably my tastebuds) got me thinking about this salad last week and I had to make it. Since I'm homebound for the time being, I decided that I would be as productive as possible and made some Oatmeal Bread to go with it. The bread recipe comes from King Arthur Flour, a majorly reliable carb resource. Hundreds of people talked about how wonderful this bread is--how it's great for sandwiches, wonderful for toast, how it's light, sweet, and converts non-bread-people to the dark side. I'm joining that conversation right now: This bread is worth making.
Nay, this is a sandwich worth making. You can thank me later.
The chicken salad is great on its own, or over a bed of greens.
Cherry-Chicken Salad (courtesy of The Magnificent Lisa)
-3 chicken breasts
-Enough milk to reach halfway up the sides of the chicken in a baking dish
-1/3 cup dried cherries
-1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans
-1/3 cup celery, chopped
-1/3 cup tart apple, cubed
-1/3 cup mayo
-1 tablespoon milk or buttermilk
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 350. Place chicken breasts in a 13x9" pan and pour milk into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the breasts. Cook for 20 minutes. Flip each breast over and cook another 20 minutes. Let cool completely and cube into the desired size of chunks.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Let chill at least 1-2 hours.
**Note: I made this with 4 chicken breasts, so I increased everything by approximately 1/3 of a 1/3-measuring cup. I think this is a pretty forgiving recipe, so you can be approximate and everything will still be delicious.
-Serves 4-6
Let's move on to tasty, tasty bread.
Oatmeal Bread (from King Arthur Flour)-3 cups unbleached bread flour
-1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
-2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted and cooled a bit
-1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
-2 teaspoons instant yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
-1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough. Knead dough by hand for about 10 minutes or by machine by about 5, or until it's smooth.
3. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and allow it to rest for 1 hour. It'll become quite puffy, though it may not double in bulk.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface and shape into a log. Place the log in a lightly greased 9x5" loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it's crested 1-2" over the rim of the pan.
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190-degrees. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil for the final 10 minutes of baking.
-Makes 1 loaf.


text: Biblical interpretation is well summarized by 2 Timothy 2:15, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." To understand Gods message encoded in the Bible, we need to learn how to properly interpret the various types of literature found in the Bible. For example, a psalm should often be interpreted differently than a prophecy. A basic principle in Biblical interpretation is to interpret the passage or verse we are reading in our Bible historically, grammatically, and contextually. Come and find out more about what constitutes sound Biblical interpretation. Why must we study the Bible in context? Why is it wrong to take verses out of context? We will analyze 1 Thessalonians in detail for our case study.

|Livingston, John
|Two letters from Capt. John Livingston RAMC
|Two letters from John Livingston to family at home in Barrow (31 October 1918 and 1 November 1918), sent in the same envelope. The first letter includes: concerns about influenza at home and describes his bout of flu in France that week, and the German treatment of influenza; some surgery in theatre that day; some mental cases - an old woman and a boy [wounded soldier?]; hearing the guns in the night. The second letter relates how a parcel from home spilled open in front of everyone; about looking at a list of VCs awarded in a newspaper with Sister West and she noticing that her own cousin is listed - DSO, MC and now posthumously VC; and how he was woken up last night by a rat prowling around.
These are some of about 16 letters and service postcards sent between July-October 1918. Some are in ink, some in pencil, some illegible. Most describe where John is writing from, where he has walked/been driven by car or field ambulance that day " assuming he is not the orderly for the day. In general he appears to be behind the lines, but probably where the front line once was before a push forward. Some letters describe the movements of the war, and politics back home and in Russia (the revolution, the Czar), and in America. Some describe medical cases in France, soldiers and civilian (male/female), some describe cases at home " some very candid discussions of symptoms/cases etc.
Part of a large collection of photos and other memorabilia relating to the life and work of John Livingston (1872-1959), Barrow-in-Furness, Scotland, who served as a surgeon with the rank of Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps (Territorial Force) in France during the Great War. Livingston obtained medical degrees from Glasgow " later moving to Barrow, as GP. He married Annie Walker in 1899, a hospital nurse. The sister of John Livingston was the grandmother of John Jenkinson. The complete archive of Livingston (and his wife Annie and son Ian) was received by Sue and John Jenkinson after a cousin's death, being the last of his relatives.

Greensboro–Today we are taking a break from the serious side of college football to have a little fun and raise some money for scholarships and charity. I'm at Lake Oconee, near my home town of Union Point, for the annual Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge golf tournament. I'd like you to come along.
It started as modest idea, something that would allow the Chick-fil-A Bowl to thank its supporters and to have some fun.
They would invite head coaches from all over and team them with a famous athlete from their school for a round of competitive golf against a dozen other such teams. Some scholarship money would be at stake to keep it interesting. CBS would record the competition and fill a hole in the programming lineup on Christmas Day.
"When we started we didn't know what kind of response we would get or how popular the event could be," said Gary Stokan, president of the bowl. "We just wanted to host something fun for all our partners."
Today $350,000 in scholarship money will be on the line for the annual Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge golf tournament. First prize is $120,000 which goes to the general scholarship fund of the winning school. By the end of the day the CFA Bowl will have handed out $500,000 for scholarships and various charities.
With this many coaches in one place, there is bound to be some news. Here are just a few nuggets:
**–South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and former Gamecock receiver Shannon Sharpe won this event a year ago. Spurrier's football team, however, struggled (7-6) last season but he is encouraged by what he saw in spring practice. And yes, Gamecock fans, Spurrier is cautiously optimistic that Stephen Garcia is growing into an SEC-caliber quarterback.
Spurrier was getting a little good-natured ribbing at dinner Monday night for having seven players drafted, more than any other SEC school. Six of those picks, it should be noted, were in the fifth and seventh rounds.
**–Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said the Falcons got a good one in first-round choice Peria Jerry. "Now he's got a motor and will give you everything he's got," said Nutt, whose second Ole Miss team is getting some preseason love in the SEC West.
**–Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, who owns a summer home on Lake Oconee, just finished up spring practice last Saturday. He'll spend most of June down here and then be back in the state on Sept. 5 when the Hokies, the defending ACC and Orange Bowl champs, take on Alabama in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff at the Georgia Dome. "That game has our attention, I promise you that," Beamer said. "It is just a good opportunity for our program." Beamer teamed with former Hokie basketball star Dell Curry to win this event two years ago.
**–Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville is here. He's working on his golf game and getting ready to do some studio work for ESPN this season. "I'm looking forward to watching for a while to see what I've missed," said Tuberville. Tuberville made it clear that he wants to coach again and the smart money says he will.
**–Former Arizona State coach Frank Kush continues to work with the program which is now run by Dennis Erickson. He is more than a little concerned about the Sun Devils' trip to Athens on Sept. 26 to play Georgia. "They handled us pretty good at home (27-10) last year," said Kush, who was Arizona State's head coach for 22 seasons (1958-79). "The SEC teams really have a lot of athletes." His undefeated 1970 team played in the Peach (now Chick-fil-A) Bowl and beat North Carolina to finish 11-0.
**–Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe was all smiles after linebacker Aaron Curry was taken as the No. 4 pick overall in the NFL Draft. One of the things people try to use against Wake Forest in recruiting is that Grobe's program is not the best stepping stone to the NFL. This season Wake Forest had the highest player chosen in the ACC and its three overall picks were more than Florida State and Miami combined. "They won't be able to use that against us anymore," Grobe said. Grobe will be playing with former Wake Forest basketball star and CBS analyst Billy Packer.
**–My pick to win today is Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson and former Jacket basketball star Jon Barry, who is a scratch golfer and hits it nine miles. "I'm just here to make the putts," said Johnson, who swings a pretty mean stick himself.
**–Even the basketball coaches get in the act. Former Georgia coach Hugh Durham, former Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson, and former Georgia and Kentucky coach Tubby Smith (now at Minnesota) are here.
Thanks for traveling with me today. I'll see you back in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Heh heh, Tony's approach to any Steve Spurrier prediction is akin to the the approach a smallmouth bass takes to a live crawdad.

Dang, that Ed Orgeron can sure stink-up a bathroom.

Be interesting to see where Tubberville will end up coaching since he wants back in. He is way too good of a coach to be sitting on the sidelines for long. Unfortunately, there doesn't look like there are many coaches on the immediate hot seat in the southeast right now.
Tony, could you update us on some of the possibilities on where Tubbs could end up at?
Watch out for Ole Miss and Nutt. He has always given Bama and LSU trouble and for once he has an NFL caliber future qb to work with. Saban has stated before that he admires Nutt more than any other sec coach because Nutt gets more out of his players than anyone. I can't imagine how good his teams would possibly be if he had the overall talent to work with that you would find at some of the bigger name SEC schools.
Good for Wake and Aaron Curry. Its great to see an academic school excelling against the bigger boys.

Tommy Tuberville…Next Tennessee HC??? He'll have to wait a couple of years though…SOS, if his teams at SC don't take a real step forward in next 2 years I think he hits the golf course full time…was a real down year for the NFL draft for overall Florida schools with a total of 7 draft picks…Florida has a total of 7 Div 1 schools…Expect about that many Gators to go in the draft next year ALONE.

Saint Nick,
Yeah. I thought Clemson would be the perfect destination for Tubbs also and if Swinney implodes then its a possibility Tubbs could end up there but I think they'll give Dabo at least a couple of years. I was thinking UT would be a good place too but they will give Kiffin at least 2 years and I can't see Tubbs on the sideline that long. Shannon at Miami has to accomplish something sooner or later but like Kiffin and Dabo he has 2 years unless they have a monumental implosion. Tubbs has a lot of old connections at Miami and coached there awhile.
What's m gonna do if UGA goes back to its usual habit of beating Tech this year? There's only so much mileage you can get out of one win.
April 28th, 2009
9:35 am
I also think that Memphis has to win CUSA this year or that job will be open. Tubbs would be a very good fit their too.
April 28th, 2009
9:37 am
bama12…ugag does not have a recent habit of beating Tech….they HAD a recent habit of beating gomer gailey. The last 5 times that ugag has played Tech without gomer gailey….Tech has won 4 out of 5. Let me let y'all in on a little secret. There is a new sheriff in town…his name is Paul Johnson. He is going to whip you pups like a left-handed step-child…and then he is going to laugh about it just like he did last year. Thank God and Greyhound that gomer gailey is gone forever….even if you pups are too stupid to realize it…yet.
April 28th, 2009

You can't pick and choose which years you want to count, 6 of last 7 losses by Tech is more like it!!!!
April 28th, 2009

Thanks for the distinction. Dude you crack me up. I've a feeling we now gonna hear from the dawg fans who I'm sure are gonna vehemently disagree witcha.
Saint Nick, As funny as it would be to us Bama fans to see Tubbs somewhere like Memphis I'm sure he will end up at a big time program again. BTW, did you see that we scheduled a home and home with Mich St. in 2016 and 2017. Mich St.'s athletic director stated part of the reason for the game was a reunion of sorts between Dantonio and Saban. He stated that in negotiations for the series that they fully expect Saban to still be at Bama and that was part of the reason for scheduling the series.

Saban is getting too old for another rebuilding job. Face it people, Saban will not be going ANYWHERE!!! Moore will do whatever it takes to keep Saban and on top of that Saban has given so much CASH back into scholarship funds.

Saint Nick,
Yep. He committed to give 1 or 2 million I don't remember which to the general scholarship fund spread out over 10 year installments. Doesn't sound like someone who's leaving anytime soon. But that kinda logic escapes folks like JB. JB stands for Just Brainless.

My God you bama boys are like dogs waiting for someone to wave a bone in front of you. You tuskless wonders sabotage every single day's blog with your obscure bama gobbledygook.

April 28th, 2009
10:55 am
We're just busting your chops too. Its all in good fun although we all play a little rough sometimes.
Saban will stay at Bama precisely because he had a rep for jumping around and therefore no one would seriously entertain the offer of hiring him and because he's in his late 50s and he just isn't interested in starting another rebuilding program all over. Plus no one is going to pay him the type of money he commands and his NFL bridge is burned. Bama is his last stop because he probably couldn't go anywhere else even if he wanted to. The only question is will he coach another 5 years, 7, 8, etc. We don't care if its only 3 more years as long as he leaves the talent cupboard full.
I'm not sure the dawg fans catch more crap than anyone on here. I would say we all give and get our fair amount of abuse. The only bad thing about being a dawg fan is that you have to listen to m for at least another 6 or 7 months. Then again I think most of you have become enured to it and just tuned him out. Too bad we don't have Roswell Ed anymore. I'm hoping Auburn does pretty well especially in the early going so that we can hear from Roswell Ed again.

My favorite thing is watch the Vol fans who made so much fun of Bayou Ed when he coached Ole Miss try and backpedal now. "oh, he just wasn't head coach material" "Oh, he is misunderstood" "oh, look what a great recruiter he is". What a joke.
I will give him this. All of this homoerotic shirt off ripping is a good way to keep many Vol fans "excited about the team".

I hate to say it, but Tubbs would put UVA back on the map. Among the elite of America's public universities (Cal, Michian, UNC), and having a perfectly beautiful campus located in a beautiful setting, the recruiting grounds are fertile (Northern Va., Tidewater Va, Pa., Md., DC). If I were a college-aged athlete, I would choose UVA over any SEC school, especially if I value quality education.

I feel Joe Cox, who has been there four years will be fine, but we better come up with someone to run the ball…..4 or 5 backs on roster, but none stepping out out pack yet…….

11:25 am
Sand Mountain is indeed a beautiful area. But real kountry. We got nothing against the dawgs except for the fun we all have needling each other on here. Kiffinisatosser thinks we're a little rough and we probably are sometimes so we'll try to tone it down a bit.
You have to admit that except for 2 or 4 years or how every often we play for some reason UGA-Bama has just never been a big rivalry. Most UGA fans don't know it but 90% of the Bama fans pull for UGA to win the east over UF and especially UT which is our 2nd biggest rival and is really our biggest rival to some Bama fans. We would pull for Vandy over the big 3 in the east but that just aint realistic so must of the Bama fans root for UGA when they play UF, UT, Auburn or LSU.
As for QB both the dawgs and Bama are going to be better off at that position then people think. Dawgs will be fine on o-line and every else but you are right. One of their rbs has to step up. The UGA o-line will be really strong, especially with Sturdivant back so it shouldn't take much for one of those rbs to become the next Moreno, Hearst, Edwards, etc. . It will be like our O-line was last year.
We will be fine all across the board. The one issue is lack of experience on the O-line. The talent is certainly there but the experience is lacking and the defense will have to carry the team for the first few games till the o-line gets settles. Va. Tech's defense will present an unusually tough opener of a defense to go against.

I guess we'll just have to be as nice to you as you are to Vols fans. Just kidding of course. I do feel offended that you said we would chase after any sort of chum in the water like a bream would. Couldn't you at least have referred to us as sharks as opposed to bream? I would say we are a little easier on the dawg fans though than say, m or ramble on. We generally only start talking smack though when someone starts belittling our beloved crimson tide like when they call UA "lackluster". We could be a lot worse. One of us could come up with a handle like CMRisatosser but that would be classless don't u think?
April 28th, 2009
11:41 am
bama 12 – you have inadvertently come up with the perfect metaphor for bama…a bream that thinks it's a shark! No, to be blunt, my point was that the Tidal fan base here (and really I am not singling you out) loves to launch into these huge 98 line defenses of Bama as soon as anyone says something negative about Bama. It's ..well boringly clogged up with facts. Case in point was the inane argument about how many MNCs have been won by Bama. My Gosh…that stuff is like watching paint dry.
CMRisatosser is an excellent name by the way…maybe I'll change to it!

Glad the Coaches can have some fun, and actually get along with one another.
And to the goofy GT and UGA comments, fact is, Richt has been at UGA 8 years, he has lost to GT once. That is the one constant.
That said, hopefully one day, that sad GT fan will find a brain.
April 28th, 2009
11:54 am
Paul Johnson has been at GT one year and is batting an even higher average than Richt in this series.
April 28th, 2009
11:55 am
A bream that thinks its a shark. I have to admit that is funny. We all debated Bama's real number of national titles. Its really only 9, 4 consensus and 5 split titles between the 2 major polls of the time. But dangit 12 just sounds better even if it aint legit!
I was kidding obviously about taking a handle like CMRisatosser. Richt is very well respected by his coaching counterparts and Bama fans(at least the ones I know) have a tremendous amount of respect for the man. And you don't need to lose the Kiffinisatosser handle either. I was just bustin on you about that but I doubt you would want to lose that handle anyway.
I talked to a couple of UT friends the other night at a local pub I hang out at and even they were a little peeved about Kiffin not playing the guy they thought should have won the qb job. A month or 2 ago they were gung ho about anything and everything he was saying and doing. But now they seem to be kinda coming out of a fog kinda like the guy in the movie Office Space if ya ever seen that. I think a few of them are kinda starting to question this guy's judgement. Personally, I like Kiffin. I look for at least 2 years of solid entertainment from this guy before he gets canned.
Rolls tides.
April 28th, 2009
12:07 pm
bama 12…running off that QB was a serious mistake. Kiffin will certainly wish he had not done that at some point this coming season. It may be when Crompton fumbles twice and gets three picks against the Tide D. That game could actually be a repeat of MSU and Auburn from last year. FWIW I would pick Bama to get the 3 points.

The annual graduation ceremony on May 24, 2013, is the highlight of the year for College of the Desert's (COD) faculty, staff and especially the students. The evening is filled with color and pageantry, short speeches, and the traditional caps and gowns and distribution of hard-earned diplomas. For the first time, this year's ceremony will include acknowledging the hard work of the students who earn certificates in their chosen fields of study.
College of the Desert is honored to have Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D., as our guest speaker. His comments will inspire our students and audience to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Also in attendance will be Dr. Fred Jandt, Dean, CSUSB Palm Desert Campus.
Pictured right: 2012 Commencement Speakers, Lisa Rossi-Gomez and Anthony Mariano.
Over 700 students are eligible to walk in the graduation processional and over 300 are expected to participate. Certificate-earning students will don the same regalia but instead of a tassel on their cap they will drape a red cord over the shoulders of their gowns. Over two hundred certificates have been earned in the past year. Many students have earned more than one. In addition to the students, a large number of faculty and staff attend the ceremony, and the college continues to have crowds of 1,700 observers turn out to cheer on family members and friends who are graduating.
This year there are a number of students graduating with highest honors. Deborah Suer and Shi Tang have been selected as commencement speakers to represent the student body. They will be introduced by Adrian Gonzales, Interim Vice President, Student Affairs. Each will talk about his/her educational journey.
Deborah Suer has had many successes at COD. Last year she earned an Associate of Arts (AA) Degree and Certificate in Alcohol & Drug Studies. This year she is achieving an additional AA Degree in Liberal Arts, Humanities and Communication. She is a member of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa and was selected to represent COD as part of the All-California Academic Team. Just this year, through the help of the College of the Desert Foundation, Suer was selected to travel to Washington, D.C., to watch the Presidential Inaugural Conference and President Obama be sworn into office. When first beginning her adult educational journey 9 semesters ago, Suer found herself in classes with students who easily could have been her children or grandchildren. That only caused a bump in the road for her as she discovered that everyone in the class shared the same common goals, "to empower our lives through education, succeed in a career of our choice and to build relationships that will help us become a strong community."
Shi Tang, is an international student from China. He began learning English at an institution in Los Angeles. After not making much progress, he heard about COD's Intensive English Academy available through the International Education Program. Upon transferring he quickly made significant progress and enrolled as a full-time student pursuing his degree in biology. Tang will continue his studies next fall to complete a degree in chemistry. His goal is to transfer to a university to pursue a medical degree. Tang states that he had a lot of help from many departments on campus. One of those was the Tutoring and Academic Skills Center (TASC). He had become a fixture in the lab writing his papers. The TASC provided him not only English tutoring support but eventually a student worker position that allowed him to help other students succeed in their studies, as well. Tang stated, "Without the support of the IEP, TASC and everyone at COD, I would not have grown this much in these years."
Highlights will include: presentation of colors by COD's Public Safety Academy Color Guard; the pledge of allegiance led by John Arroyo, President, Associated Students of College of the Desert; and welcome remarks by COD President Dr. Joel L. Kinnamon. Faculty and administration will be presented by Kinnamon as well. Douglas Redman, Assistant Professor, Automotive/Advanced Transportation and Chair of the Curriculum Committee, will present the Faculty of the Year Award to Zerryl Becker, Professor Computer Information Systems and President, Academic Senate, who will deliver an address.
Degrees will be awarded by President Kinnamon and Michael O'Neill, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
Entertainment will be provided by students in COD's Jazz Studies Program, directed by Dr. Anthony Fesmire, Associate Professor, Music. The student ensemble consists of Sarah Hagar, Tanya Nunez, vocals; Marco Murrieta, guitar; Juan Espino, piano; James Gastelum, Bass; and Jose Ceja, on drums.
Following Commencement, students, families and friends will gather at Wright Gymnasium for a reception and refreshments in an event sponsored by the COD Alumni Association.

Purell now, Bacteri-ell later?
The hygiene hypothesis, the idea that "too much cleanliness prevents the development of a well-balanced immune response"(Sironi and Clerici, 2010), has received a lot of support and also criticism. It has recently been challenged by the hypothesis of "early immune challenge", which states that a lack of appropriate immune stimulation during early childhood might account for the increased development of allergies in industrialized countries (Kramer et al, 2013). This proposal places less emphasis on excessive hygienic practices and focuses more on the insufficient exposure to specific environmental microbes, particularly those from non-urban environments, as the reason behind the rise of atopic disease. While different, both hypotheses point to the beneficial health affects of some microbes.
What do you think is the reason for increased allergy levels in industrialized countries? Do you think that a concoction of the "right" microbial species in the form of a lotion, drink, or inhalant (aka "Bacteri-ell") could be a future replacement for natural exposure to beneficial microbes?
Instead of using hand sanitizers like Purell, do you see a future where people from some regions of the world are unsanitizing their hands with "Bacteri-ell"?

Apr 30 2013: To add another personal anecdote, I do not have allergies of any kind and I am a huge fan of Purell. I, too, am rarely ever ill. I'm not sure if I was a particularly "germy," dirty kid but I did spend a lot of time around animals. Of course, personal anecdotes dont necessarily represent the norm, but still one has to wonder.
Honey is absolutely amazing in terms of it's healing powers. I volunteer at a marine mammal hospital and we use honey to treat shark bite wounds on the seals and sea lions by spreading it over the wounds. I have personally seen several cases where absolutely massive injuries almost disappear within a week. We use it because it is cheap, but maybe hospitals should start using honey instead of powerful antibiotics? I don't know much about how honey ranks with traditional antibiotics in terms of microbe killing power, but maybe it works so well because it leaves some good microbes left?
I think its important to remember that while antibacterials can do harm, but they can also do incredible healing.
Apr 30 2013: A particular powerful aspect of using honey is that it can used to abed the allergies that are often associated with over sterilization. There is a catch though, the honey needs come from local bees so that it is produced with local pollen. Consuming the honey builds the immune response so that allergies aren't so severe!

A man already in jail awaiting trial for two alleged sexual assaults has now been charged with breaking into two East Garfield Park homes and raping women as they slept last summer.
In one of the attacks on Aug. 25, 2012, Tyreese Richardson of the 3200 block of West Fulton Boulevard waited until the victim's boyfriend got up to use the washroom before entering the bedroom, authorities said.
Richardson, wearing a mask and armed with a knife, also broke into the home of a 34-year-old woman as she slept alone in her bedroom in the 2700 block of West Adams Street about 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 5, 2012, according to court documents.
Richardson is accused of tying the woman's hands and feet together with an electrical cord, then telling her, "Bitch, I want you to try and get away so I can call you!," court documents said.
He stole her engagement ring, sexually assaulted her and fled through the back door, according to court documents.
DNA collected at the hospital had a "strong association" to Richardson, court documents said. Richardson later admitted to breaking into the home through an open window and sexually assaulting the woman.
In the Aug. 25 incident, Richardson waited until a man got out of bed to use the washroom about 6 a.m., then entered his bedroom in the 2700 block of West Gladys Avenue through an open window and sexually assaulted his 19-year-old girlfriend, according to court documents.
Richardson put furniture in front of the door to prevent the boyfriend from re-entering the room, then put a pillow over the woman's face, tied her hands with cable wire and sexually assaulted her at knifepoint, court documents said.
The boyfriend eventually forced the door open, punched Richardson and grabbed his hat as he fled through an open window, according to court documents. DNA collected from the hat also matched Richardson.
The woman and her boyfriend identified Richardson in a lineup and he later admitted to the attacks, according to court documents.
Richardson was charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and Judge Laura Sullivan ordered him held without bond Wednesday.
Richardson has two pending aggravated criminal sexual assault cases pending from July 2012, court documents said. He was being held on a $1.5 million bond in those cases.
Richardson is accused of breaking into homes in the 2700 blocks of West Jackson and West Adams between July 27 and Aug. 5, police said. He allegedly sexually assaulted the victims, then fled through a rear window or door.
Detectives used DNA evidence that linked Richardson to the assaults in those cases as well.
Richardson was convicted of residential burglary in 2010 and possession of a controlled substance in 2011, according to court documents. He received two years' probation for the burglary and served one year in prison for the drug charges. He also had numerous juvenile convictions.
