BRIDGEWATER, Va. -- Bridgewater College is undergoing $9 million worth of renovations.
The renovations will help spruce up the athletic department as well as the Department of Health and Human Sciences.
With 22 sports teams, College Spokesperson Abbie Parkhurst said the renovations are needed.
They are transforming Nininger Hall, which was renovated before this in 1988.
The changes cover a wide area and include a renovated gym, classrooms and a lab.
There will be an additional 16,000 square feet of space added on to the hall.
The official groundbreaking ceremony is on Thursday at 10 a.m. in Bridgewater.
Crews have already started some excavation work and laying new turf on Jopson field.
There will be a new event space and athletic hall of fame celebration area.
Lights have also been installed on Jopson field, which means the college will be able to have night games in the next two years.
Those lights will not be used for the 2013 football season.
Parkhurst said these changes will also highlight academics.
"It also houses our Department of Health and Human Sciences which is our largest academic department on campus so the project will redo classrooms, redo faculty offices, redo our laboratory and so academically there's a big piece to this too," said Parkhurst.
The first phase of the project is an addition to Nininger's southwest corner that looks over Jopson field.
The second phase will start in March of 2014.
Once the first addition is finished, Parkhurst said they'll move everyone into the addition to renovate the old part of Nininger hall.
The ground breaking ceremony will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday.

As Mayor Thomas M. Menino prepares to leave office, real estate developers are lining up to seek key approvals for billions of dollars' worth of mega projects before the election of a new mayor, or a blip in the economy, can upend or delay their plans.
Over the last three months, the Boston Redevelopment Authority has received 23 large development proposals, a 35 percent increase over the same period last year, officials said. The pitches include a 60-story office tower and residences in Government Center, a pair of towers next to the Christian Science Plaza, and large-scale apartment and hotel projects in Roxbury, East Boston, the Fenway, and the Back Bay.

Text to speech in Symbian 2nd and 3rd edition phones
Text to Speech in Symbian 2nd and 3rd edition phones
Latest S60 devices from Nokia (starting from N70 and N90) include speaker independent name dialing (SIND) and enhanced voice commands. You don't have to train your phone voice dialing anymore. To make a call you simply need to push the voice key and say the name from the phonebook. SIND feature is closed for third party developers. However,there is a shortcut for using the Text-to-Speech part of SIND. You can make your phone synthesize a piece of arbitrary text by passing a specially formed descriptor to the CMdaAudioPlayerUtility.
iPlayer->OpenDesL( _L8( "(tts)Say this" ) );
The speech quality is too low for synthesizing emails or even single sentences, but is sufficient for pronouncing one-two words expected by the user. It can really be used in your program for synthesizing names, "left", "right", maybe addresses. Note that this code example will work on hardware only. It can be compiled also for WINS, but on emulator the playback requests will fail with KErrNotSupported. Apparently the text-to-speech libraries are not included into the SDK distribution.
// Prefix telling the audio utility that TTS should be used
_LIT( KTtsPrefix, "(tts)" );
void CTtsPlayer::PlayTextL( TDesC& aText )
__ASSERT_ALWAYS( iPlaybackInProgress == EFalse, User::Leave( KErrNotReady ) );
HBufC8* playableText = HBufC8::NewLC( aText.Length() + KTtsPrefix().Length() );
playableText->Des().Append( KTtsPrefix );
playableText->Des().Append( aText );
iPlayer->OpenDesL( *playableText );
iPlaybackInProgress = ETrue;
// At this point playback is already completed or failed
User::LeaveIfError( iErr );
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy( playableText );
void CTtsPlayer::MapcInitComplete( TInt aError, const TTimeIntervalMicroSeconds& /*aDuration*/ )
iErr = aError;
if( aError != KErrNone )
iPlaybackInProgress = EFalse;
// Let the paused PlayTextL complete
void CTtsPlayer::MapcPlayComplete( TInt aError )
iErr = aError;
iPlaybackInProgress = EFalse;
// Let the paused PlayTextL complete

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) - A bittersweet moment for the 7 Sports Team as this was the season finale of the Smackdown.
In Longview, we were challenged by Blake McCrary to a best of three slip-n-slide race on his 150 slide in his back yard.
Clearly the right lane was fastest, as 7 Sports took and early lead and held on for the heat 1 victory.
Blake and partner Micah would win head 2 though, as in the right lane, they stormed to a lead, then coasted to victory as Coleman nearly fell on the tag between he and Ryan.
Ryan would fall in a rock-paper-scissors game to determine the final lanes for heat 3.
Blake and Micah won that, and then the race, as the blow away the 7 sports team in two straight heats to win 2-1.
The 7 Sports Smackdown will return next may with all new challenges from the East Texas community.

- My Favorite lunch SpotAnnieDined on 9/27/2014Wonderful as always! Disappointed that their 3 course lunch was not available on Saturday and that the dishes could not be divided in the kitchen. The salad we ordered could have easily been divided in the kitchen without losing its appeal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/24/2014seating was prompt, table was nice. The restaurant was very loud, but we made do. they suggest a tapas style meal, which fits with the menu. definitely try the mushroom pizza!Special Features:
- Quick delicious lunchKateGDined on 9/23/2014cibo has mastered the lunch rush! $15 dollars for a well thought out, delicious combo of all of your favs! I had the pleasure of taking my parents and brother here for a quick lunch get together and they were just thrilled. Service was amazing, food (and wine) spot on, they even enjoyed the music playing! Wasn't too loud just vibrant enough to set a fun tone and create a lasting memory (who knew lunch could be fun on a Tuesday)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunch specialVeedsDined on 9/22/2014This is the third time I've been in to take advantage of the special and it has been great every time. Unlike some other places that offer "trough deals", Cibo builds to order and offers a decent range of options within the fixed price point. The space is large enough that you can get away from noise if need be and the patio is a really fantastic, intimate spot that makes you forgot a busy thoroughfare is only feet away.Special Features:
- Cibo is one of my go-to spots!anonymousDined on 9/20/2014I've taken people there for lunch, which is really nice and easy with the $15 lunch board selections! Love the appetizers at dinner. I've had dinner salads which are good but too much of the same flavour.... Our last dinner there was great until some exceedingly loud young women sat at a nearby table, making conversation at our table impossible. By then we'd already started our main course so didn't ask to be moved. Saturday night was very much noisier than other times I've been there, so won't go back on a Saturday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad Service, very loudOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Bar tenders couldn't find the wine we ordered. Then when they finally found it about 45mins later, the waitress spilled about a quarter of the wine on the table, so we paid for wine that we hardly even got. One guest ordered a pizza and they brought out the wrong kind and had to wait 15mins for the proper one. But yet they didn't even offer something free not even one drink or anything. Our reservation was for 7:45 and we were there until 10:30....that almost 3 hours waiting for service/food. I had pasta and it was very bland. The restaurant was very very loud, had to basically yell to hear each other. and then at the end, I tried to give it one last chance, I asked for a desert menu, they couldn't find one. Overall service was horrible.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Best Italian I've had in ages. So divine. Can't wait to come backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun TimeFexarDined on 9/18/2014Took some family here and enjoyed our dinner. The food and ambiance was great, although it always tends to be on the threshold of too noisy. The food is always fantastic, though, and the service was spot on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Bday DinnerCalgaryFoodRocksDined on 9/17/2014We had a big group for my girlfriend's bday dinner and CIBO was the perfect spot to celebrate. It was casual, the food was great, service was friendly and fast. Our waiter Roland was great at choosing items from the menu for us to try and the fantastic food just kept coming. The value was outstanding too. Overall a great night and I would definitely go back again.Special Features:
- Fun and uniqueJohnnyDined on 9/15/2014I brought a girl here last week and we had a fantastic time. The food was great, and I'll definitely be back. We got to try a few things we've never had before and the server was friendly. Two thumbs up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 30th Birthday PartyOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 9/15/2014Cibo was the perfect spot for our group of 10. They even put us in our own private room without me asking when I made the reservation. The atmosphere was superb. The service was great, the only small hiccup was that she brought dessert menus for all of us and forgot that we had a suprise cake in their kitchen, so I had to remind her in front of the birthday girl. Food was good, but not amazing. Overall we had a great evening and it was perfect for what we were looking for.Special Features:
- You can not go wrongStephTDined on 9/13/2014Words can't even describe how awesome this place was. Everything from the first impression you got from walking in to the meal. Will definitely make the trip from Edmonton to go back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum!BarbybenderDined on 9/13/2014Cibo was fantastic! Great atmosphere, great menu/food/wine/beverage choices, great service! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone(strangers included)!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ok foodJaneyDined on 9/12/2014The food was ok . However we had great service the waiter was great very attentiveSpecial Features:
- Cibo deliversGuyHDined on 9/12/2014Each time I visit Cibo it meets or exceeds my expectations. Service is excellent, menu is interesting and great for sharing. Wine list is OK with reasonable 'by the glass' pricing. Overall a good lunchtime spot with a good vibe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My ears hurtMickVIPDined on 9/9/2014Upstairs is much too loud for either a business dinner or a date. Acoustic design is terrible. Shouting and leaning over the table to hear what's being said is just stupid!!! Been there 10-12 times. I'm done.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/6/2014I ordered the Chitarra and it was just mediocre taste. I only have 2 small scallops, lots of olive, tons of anchovy and capers. I love the ingredients but it was not distributed properly. The anchovies over powered the taste.Special Features:
- One of my favesindecisiveeaterDined on 9/3/2014Cibo's Boar Bacon pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had & I would humbly classify myself as a pizza connoisseur. Great environment up or downstairs. You can't beat their price of $5 pizzas at Happy Hour M-F either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okm401Dined on 9/2/2014Food wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing. My expectations may have been too high but the polenta fries weren't crisp. All the hot appetizers I ordered came warm to cool. The pork ribs were ok but not great. My beet salad was small and not overly fresh. Our waitress was really nice but she seemed busy. She forgot my wine and definitely made up for it by giving me a free glass. There are some way better restaurants in the area. Maybe it was just an off night because I've heard lots of things about Cibo. I won't be rushing back.
- poor service todayMomof2Dined on 9/2/2014Waited 30 mins for our order to be taken despite restaurant being empty, and no check in to even ask what our drink order was going to be. Very different from my last lunch experience here. Food was good though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent DinnereatingyegDined on 8/31/2014Visited on Labour Day with as a group of 5 from Edmonton, and we were treated exceptionally well. Pleasant room, but your focus will be on the plates in front of you. Did the tasting menu; excellent value and diversity of dishes. Come here, have a cocktail, order some wine, get some food. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:
- Too noisyFoodieDined on 8/31/2014Because cibo always has so many group bookings I find the ambiance always suffers because of the loud groups. This time around I was also disappointed in the pizza, very bland. If my last visit happened to be my first, I might not come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/27/2014Cibo was great. The drinks are probably the least expensive ones I have ever enjoyed on 17th avenue. Our server was friendly and attentive. Definitely worth another visit. My only issue was that it was very loud, it would be great for a group but not so much a business lunch or date unless you dine during non peak times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014The lunch trio for $15 was great. Salad, side and main. Great food and value.Special Features:
- Yum.LThompDined on 8/26/2014The food is always delicious. Waitress was excellent and very friendly. That Bruschetta is to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was a mainstayLadyJVIPDined on 8/25/2014We used to come here often, as it typically can accommodate last minute reservations and is good for larger groups. The food has typically been consistently good, however this time around I was slightly disappointed in our selection. The pizza we had selected was my least favorite of the bunch. It seemed to have been put together last minute with reckless abandon. Too sloppy for my liking and difficult to chew because of the large pieces of prosciutto - perhaps more smaller pieces instead of four large pieces. Charging $3 per bucket for crostinis seems excessive considering there isn't even enough for the selection of scodellinas. The service was very good, other than that not a fantastic experience, but I will return for a redo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SnugglehippoDined on 8/23/2014Great place for a group to share a bunch of dishes. Really really good gnocchiSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great appetizers.Mains were lackingJackieCDined on 8/22/2014The appies were fantastic, especially for our large group. The mains were not so good for half of us. My niece said her pasta had no taste (it didn't). The pappardelle that 2 of us ordered had rubbery lamb and uncooked boar bacon. It's awful to bite into a piece of uncooked bacon fat. Unfortunately it wasn't birthday dinner & I couldn't eat my meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy Italian!yeejulDined on 8/20/2014As always, Cibo is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always excellent! Both tapas, pasta and pizza.Special Features:
- Fun place!snowcookiesDined on 8/19/2014I usually love the food here. Ordered the linguine, but it was okay. Overkill with the capers. Service was great!Special Features:
- Dinner - groupCaryDined on 8/16/2014Good food, drink and fun. Excellent waitress - Erin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatMCanadaVIPDined on 8/15/2014I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. Food is always fresh and tasty. Our server seemed a little too relaxed though. Overall really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunch spotBradleyDDined on 8/15/2014A great place to grab lunch. It was a great experience on the patio. Very quiet, great price and phenomenal food. I can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent foodHistoryGirlDined on 8/13/2014Decent food, flavours could be a bit better balanced but overall not bad. The place is a too loud to have any kind of conversation though - there should have been some thought to sound absorbing materials when it was being built.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Loud this timeHLDinYYCDined on 8/12/2014Love the food and the wait staff is fantastic. this time, it was almost impossible to get through the bar crowd to our table. the level of noise was not something I was happy with - would be great on the weekend, but for a quiet dinner with a friend ? Too much noise. My friend and I had to scream at each other to have a conversation. Notably, a) it was a Tuesday night, and b) the dining room wasn't full - open tables all around us and yet we still had to yell. We usually stay for a long time, have some (great) coffee and (yummy) desserts, but this visit was cut short due to noise levelsSpecial Features:
- Great night!RhonaVIPDined on 8/12/2014The service was exceptional and the food delicious. We were disappointed to not be sat on the patio, especially with a reservation made a week before.

- great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/12/2014Food was fantastic as was the service and decor but the noise level was so loud that you could not carry on a conversation at your table without shouting at each other. It was as loud as a lively bar which I found too noisy to enjoy dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, loud dining roomKbotDined on 8/12/2014The food was good, with lots of small plates to choose from for sharing. Our waiter pointed out that they pride themselves on the quality of their food, and it was indeed delicious and well presented. The restaurant itself gets very noisy - especially when the music is turned up so it can be heard over the diners. If you're looking for an intimate meal where you can carry on a conversation, this is probably not the best place to go. But if you enjoy a lively environment and a menu of tasty food that's perfect for sharing, Cibo is a good bet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hey you all ! Thanks for taking the time to read my post , I'v been rushing quite a bit to try and figur out what is going on with me latley !
It all started about 5 months ago ...
I was on anti-anxiety medication called Celexa (Citalopram) , and with the help of my family doctor I decided to quit . Everything was normal , normal period , not many side effects aside for huge libido loss , but I felt ready ! So 2 months and a half later I was finally off the meds ! YAH ! Libido was finally back !
Now, the month after I quit , I was a week late on my period , which I immediately assumed it was caused by the quitting my meds. So I hade a normal period that month , a bit late , but a normal flow.
Which brings me to last month . At some point I opened my calendar and realized I was a week late AGAIN , so this time I went to the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if this could be du to quitting the meds ... I asked three different pharmacists and all three gave me the same answer ... No , celexa would have messed with my period while I was taking them not after stopping them , normally, like my libido loss , thing would have gotten back to normal shortly after if my periods would have been off . So, in my book, that suddenly ruled out the meds. So I decided to take a home pregnancy test that day ... Negative. But after another 3 days of no show , I was not convinced so I took another ... Negative again . And another 3 days later , again with the negative ... Now symptoms are starting at this point , itchy breast , frequent urination , lower back and lower stomach cramping , often upset stomach and spotting ... Now these could all be related to a coming period , so on day 13 I went to the clinic to see a doctor and asked for a blood test , the doc seemed very keen on telling me all this was "normal" and that I was not pregnant , because my home pregnancy test would have showed this far (so I thought) , but for my mental health he says OK ... So anyways , when the results come in and its a negative , my heart dropped , I was sure it would be a positive , see, IM a mom to a two year old boy and I "felt" pregnant so to speak ... Now, I just felt plain old crazy , could I have imagined all these symptoms ?
So this brings me to the last 3 days at this point id be somewhere between 19 an 21 days late , I lost count since I've been trying to avoid the though , but I've started my "period" 3 days ago ... If you can call that a period . I started by spotting brown spots on the toilet paper (sorry for the graphic details) and then yesterday It actually touched the pad ! But its dark dark brown and so light, to me it would be like the last day of my "normal" period , but everyday , I think i'v seen normal red once. Im the kind of girl, that, between day 2 and 3, I have to change pads very often , I have a pretty heavy blood flow , but this time I don't feel any flow . Yesterday night , I woke up at 2 o'clock in the morning with pretty bad stomach spasms I keep feeling like I was going to puke , after a while I ended up taking gravol and going back to bed so that passed, but that was very unusual for me, and when I got out of bed this morning for a breif while I felt morning sickness again ... So at this point I feel like screaming because I'm a control freak and I have no idea what on earth is going on with my body ! And I can't believe IM still imagining symptoms ... Im confused and I would love to know if IM alone who is going through this or at least your thoughts about it ! Thx you all !!

I was sorely tempted to buy a piece for you but Lincoln persuaded me not to, thinking that you would probably prefer something all ready to use. We all have English-made umbrellas (five of them) which we.bought wholesale from the importer family on top of the hill. The neighbors had advised us that we would need them, rather than rain coats or galoshes for this rainy season .which hasn't happened.

Note: Stopped comments at 9:44 a.m. as we weren't saying anything productive, Maureen
Here is the official statement from the University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones on the reaction last night of some Ole Miss students to President Obama's victory over Gov. Mitt Romney.
University police were notified by students shortly before midnight Tuesday that Twitter chatter was indicating students were gathering near the student union to protest the results of the election. The officers found 30-40 students gathered in front of the union, and over the next 20 minutes the gathering had grown to more than 400 students, many of whom were chanting political slogans. The crowd was ordered to disperse by university police, and after about 25 minutes students had returned to residence halls. About 100 students gathered again at one hall, and university police dispersed the group and made two arrests for disorderly conduct, including one for public intoxication and one for failure to comply with police orders.
"While we are grateful that there were no injuries and there was no property damage, we are very disappointed in those students who took a very immature and uncivil approach to expressing their views about the election," said University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones. "The gathering seems to have been fueled by social media, and the conversation should have stayed there."
"Unfortunately, early news reports quoted social media comments that were inaccurate. Too, some photographs published in social media portrayed events that police did not observe on campus. Nevertheless, the reports of uncivil language and shouted racial epithets appear to be accurate and are universally condemned by the university, student leaders and the vast majority of students who are more representative of our university creed."
Jones said, "Parents are being notified that it's a normal day on campus and that one of America's safest campuses is safe again this morning, though all of us are ashamed of the few students who have negatively affected the reputations of each of us and of our university. We are initiating a thorough review of this incident to determine the facts and any follow-up actions that may be necessary."
Jones said, "We are reminding our students of relevant statements within the university creed: The University of Mississippi is a community of learning dedicated to nurturing excellence in intellectual inquiry and personal character in an open and diverse environment. As a voluntary member of this community: I believe in respect for the dignity of each person. I believe in fairness and civility. I believe in personal and professional integrity."

Let's see, some white students were exercising their freedom of speech and freedom of assembly over a political event, a few racial epithets were overheard, which Obama's daughters probably hear worse on any given hip hop recording, and the politically correct media is acting as though they were breaking out the fire hoses and police dogs in the Selma march.
Lord knows we can't have white kids becoming racially aware.
Interesting though, Maureen is quick to print when whites act up, but where was she on these glorious events:

Oh ok, so they're supposed to get a pass because some other black kids did it?? You are sick, and you are exactly what's wrong with this country. I assure you that had this been black kids, instead of sending them to their rooms, they would have been sent to jail. Ole Miss's history is deeply rooted in racism and its the sole foundation they were built on. I don't care if you're black, white, green or Hispanic… YOU DO NOT GET A PASS. They were wrong and their outrageous behavior should be brought to the forefront cause lord knows it would be on CNN, CSpan, ABC, Fox News and every other major media outlet had they been black. Get over yourself. Wrong is wrong no matter what color you are!!!
November 7th, 2012

@Lee "Lord knows we can't have white kids becoming racially aware."
What the heck do you mean by "racially aware"? From where I stand, it looks like "give me an excuse to act like a fool". Sorry, I don't accept skin color as a reason to act a fool, and neither should you.

The racism of yesteryear has come full circle in our county. The entire world embraced our choice of a black President four years ago and most nations of the world still support him. The fringe elements of Republican sect have crept through into the mainstream once again with conservative mouthpieces planting the seeds of hate. The only doubt lies here at home rooting from bigotry. Watch the white hands paint Obama in Blackface at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/bamboozling-obama.html
November 7th, 2012
9:19 pm
Lee, you can cite all the examples you want but I think people like Maureen hold blacks to a lower standard like many liberals do. Many examples like the ones you linked can be found but they do not fit the narrative. Just think how she defended Lowrey's remark about all white people going to hell, Maureen let us know that Lowrey is 91. Lowrey made a similar remark a few years ago and I am sure she found an excuse for that as well, maybe because he was having a bad day or something. I think their is a term for people that hold others to lower standards because of race. Maureen, why is it you only bring up actions of whites you disagree with ?
November 7th, 2012
9:43 pm
Normally, I would feel bad for Ole Miss as a few of their students reenforce old stereotypes of their troubled past, but not now. Now that Ole Miss is emerging again as a power in the SEC West, my moral indignation knows no bounds! The news stories and video of the "Anti-Obama Riot of 2012″ should be shown to every potential football recruit to keep the Rebs in the basement of the SEC where they belong!
All kidding aside, much more troubling than a few drunken college students however, is the posting above by Mr. "Lee." As soon as I saw the use of the term "racially aware," I suspected it was probably one coined by a hate group. I Googled "whites become racially aware" found the most appalling mix of white supremacist vitriol I have seen in years. Apologize for the racist undergrads all you want Sir. We Now know what you are. Funny you should have such a rich collection of black people acting bad videos at your fingertips. Don't tell us where you got them, we can guess.

9:47 pm
college students and immature….I thought those were synonyms. All we do by giving this too much attention and debate is justify its existence and encourage it. The sooner we quit talking about this and the less time we give it, the sooner these kids will get bored and move on to something else. They'll learn- life has a way of confronting your ignornance and either changing it or leaving you by the wayside for it. I don't support what these kids did, but in the grand scheme of things, it's very minor compared to what many less visible but clearly more sinister groups will use this election to fuel. Those are the groups we need to be aware of and watch their actions.
November 7th, 2012

I'm sorry: what were they protesting?!
The accuracy of the vote count?
The fairness of the voting process?
The lopsided influence of shadowy PAC donors?
The quality of the campaigns in terms of platform, debate and message?
Ole Miss students threw a tantrum because they didn't like the black guy winning.
I'm sorry. But you don't get to overthrow an election by creating an angry mob.
When I think of all the students in Egypt, in Syria, in Bahrain and Tunisia and Yemen and Libya, and what *they're* protesting, and then I look at these spoiled, drunken yahoos …. I weep for our future.

A combination of alcohol, racial epithets, and uncivil language is a recipe for riots and out of control behavior. The involved students appeared to want to do more than exercise freedom of speech. The police and university personnel did an outstanding job.
November 7th, 2012
11:44 pm
glad they were at least exercising their rights as Americans racist or not. Good to hear of Americans upholding the first amendment. Its also really funny that Republicans are blamed for being racist as if Democrats have their hands clean. how many people voted for Obama because they wanted the black guy over the white guy in 2008.

No surprises here. The Ghosts of Ole Mess are alive and well. People talk about the dangers of inner city USA, but pretend the Deep South is safe and welcoming to all. But anybody with kinfolk near Oxford knows there are places at night nobody without white skin dares to tread. A very old, very angry evil is reemerging in Mississippi.
November 8th, 2012
12:29 am
@Lee… Amongst you and other white Americans around the country, yes people are acting on their "free speech" but if your "Free Speech" threatens any people, or property, they should be subject to arrest. Being intoxicated and burning signs, doesn't = free speech. They wanted a fight, and any person who wants to get mad about the election fine, but if they yell racist antics, they are merely jealous, misguided, fearful scumbags who should grab hold of diversity to save themselves from looking like fools. Its too bad you that by your comment you seem just as ill informed and immature as the students you speak about. God Bless.

And to think, this is the bright shining future of the Republican party. I'm a fiscal conservative but I'm tired of the fossilized social conservatives throwing election after election to the Democrats with their sickening nudge-nudge-wink-wink-racism, "legitimate rape" mysogyny, and constant homophobia. I swore off ever voting for a Democrat again after I saw the horror that 40 years of Democrat rule had wrought in South Chicago while listening to Democrats on the news call that "compassion" during the 1995 budget fight. But now I'm swearing off voting Republican as well. It is time for the GOP to die for the good of America.

Anybody surprised??? Well, you shouldn't be. What did you expect from those southern inbreds?!?! Hey it's MISSISSIPPI, look up the history of that fine, classy state over the past 70 years. The state is a cess pool. Along with Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia………All four are infested with trailer park, toothless, inbreds…….Typical Southern State.

Geez, some drunken rednecks acting like rednecks. News alert. That University is full of them, just as universities are filled with other racists, anarchists, communists, centerists, liberals, reactionaries, and those all along the spectrum. Glad to see the police sent all the little drunk frat boys home (it's Ole Miss, you can gurantee they were frat boys).
Now…let's say the protest had been something like suppressing free speech by removing all the campus newspapers in 'protest' of some article of free speech they didn't like. Sorry to say, that wouldn't even be newsworthy as it has happened so often, but is seen as an OK action. Just as ignorant and scarier in the sense that they normally have had the weight of administration approval behind them (granted, Ole Miss is not the most liberal of spots)

I see no problem with the students or anyone expressing their displeasure with the results of the election. It is their right to freedom of speech. However, it is one thing to shout political slogans and another thing to shout insults and racial epithets.
November 8th, 2012
6:50 am
So, Lee, these incidents of black folks behaving poorly is probably evidence o f their "lower" IQ. What does that say about the white kids at Ole MIss? Similarly low IQ? The black kids were acting like low-IQ thugs, but the white kids were using their God-given rights to free expression?
November 8th, 2012

Private citizen makes a good point about Obama's race. He is more white than black. His mother is a lilly white Kansas mom. His Kenyan dad is black;however, Obama was raised by a white family and a whtie society. His white grandparents and white mother raised him in Hawaii and for a time his mother lived overseas in a rural Asian culture.
I'm glad Obama has a mixed race but I'm angry that the mom's race and her influence is not acknowledged. Obama's mom must have been an awesome human being to raise her son without Obama's dad, who split when Obama was two. For a time they lived on welfare, yet, look at the values she instilled in Obama. Look at the work she put into his education. Obama is president today because of the values of a wonderful mom. Why is it that his mother is rarely given credit? Perhaps because she is white or perhaps because she is a woman and a woman's influence is discredited?
Even Tiger Woods doesn't call himself black. His mother is Asian. She raised him and influenced him but he is always called black. One look at his lovely almond eyes will tell you he is of mixed race too.
We women raise the next generation. We influence our children. We are the ones working hard to ensure our children get an education. We are the ones who take the chiildren to church. We are the ones to shoulder the financial and emotional extreme hardships when the fathers in our society bug out.
And we are called the "weaker" sex.
Go figure.

I get the Chattanooga Times-Free Press in my school library. Yesterday's edition had a large picture of a group of mostly black people celebrating under the headline OBAMA AGAIN. When a middle aged colleague saw it, she became enraged and said some of the most bigoted things that I've actually heard, not seen in an anonymous blog, in a long time. So, if you wonder where immature undergrads get their ideas, it's from their immature parents.

Yes Maureen…as I said about Atlanta Public Schools…and on many posts in this blog…IT IS ALL ABOUT RACIAL ISSUES There are some serious issues that need to be dealt with. The Atlanta Way is not fake…and the line that divides North and South Atlanta exists still today. This hate is deep rooted and candy coated. Those of us that have observed it first hand are not race baiting on this blog…we are trying to expose the problem that needs to be addressed.

The Republicans will have to disassociate themselves from Trump, Palin, Murdouck, and other extremists if they hope to regain the White House. There are too many multiracial people and in this country for the GOP to spew its infectious negative rhetoric. I doubt that the grandchildren of these old Dixiecrats support their racist philosophies. Remember that minorities are not the only people who are a part of Romney's 47 %.

So a few drunk college kids made fools of themselves in the state of Mississippi. Remember, this is the state where several teenagers decided it would be fun to run over a black man with a pick up truck and kill him. This was only a year or two ago. Why is anybody surprised or shocked? I am a black man that lived in Mississippi for two years in the early "90s. I am not surprised at all.
November 8th, 2012

The divide of RACE…and those minorities selected to grace the doors of the Northside community that will follow the NORTHSIDE set of RULES to keep their segregation secrets is clearly visible to those of us that are WHITE and have first hand experiences. We've blended in with the oppressors and listened in on conversations because our whiteness and smiling faces allowed us automatic membership to the inside.
Once EXPOSED…we are labeled crazy or a trader. A "LOVER" of the opposite RACE.
We've been trying to tell you…this is deep rooted….and continues to fester 1960's hate not seen with a naked eye.
We are not race baiting…we are race telling. I am ashamed of some of the antics of my white race…currently…and through out history.

It's true that, if college black kids act in a similiar manner as these white ones, the media will show much more tolerance.
This is what's known as a double standard. It's one of the primary reasons civil rights progress has esentially come to a halt. Most blacks know this, but will not give up their double stadard status for anything. The ability to stick it to whitey with either little or no media criticism is just too good to give up.

@ pride and joy…
I am not sure you realize or have the intentions to post your view in this matter.
But, from the first read…it appears that white or mixed adorable children with almond eyes … raised by white women …seems so tastefully.
Totally black children raised by totally BLACK WOMEN…deserve credit too. It is not the color or shape of ones eyes that should give credence to the character of the soul.
Something in your post sorta bothers me…and honesty I don't think it was your intention.
"We women raise the next generation. We influence our children. We are the ones working hard to ensure our children get an education. We are the ones who take the chiildren to church. We are the ones to shoulder the financial and emotional extreme hardships when the fathers in our society bug out."

Back when the Hawks drafted Pape Sy and brought him to Summer League, assistant GM Dave Pendergraft said there was "no chance" the team would buy out Sy's contract with Le Havre of the top French League. Over the weekend Pendergraft upgraded that to a "slight chance" Sy will join the Hawks this fall.
Pendergraft didn't elaborate on Atlanta's reasoning for the change of heart. But considering how the Hawks praised Sy's competitiveness and physical tools in camp, I'm assuming they see him as a guy who could eventually help as a wing defender. Plus Sy, who has one year left on his French deal, would come cheaply as a second-round pick.
Heck, if the Hawks bring in Sy and then add a center prospect it could be the beginnings of a bona fide player development program. I think the Utah Flash would be flabbergasted if a Hawks guy showed up.
– It seems Al's comments about playing power forward caused a frenzy among my blog people. Actually, it seems any news that potentially means Marvin goes to the bench gets people excited.
But as far as I can tell Al's comments reflect what I wrote last week: LD plans to use a "big" rotation that includes Twin and also will use Al and Zaza together. It doesn't mean a change in the starting lineup but rather more combinations of bigs and a deeper rotation.
I can't see how shifting Smoove to small forward would ever be a good move. I know he played the 3 as a rookie but when I talked to him about that he didn't seem too enthusiastic about going back. Why take a guy whose forte is defending the paint away from the glass? Wasn't that one major weakness of the switching D?
And do you really think Al would be a better power forward than Smoove, or at least so much better that it's worth it to stick Josh out on the perimeter guarding the best athletes in the league? At the very least, don't you want to see how Marvin looks under LD before such a drastic and potentially counterproductive move is made?

Oh Hawks..This is the best we got ?
August 9th, 2010

It would be pretty crazy, and not completely out of the question, to see Sy came to the Hawks and outperform Marvin. Both Sy and Marvin have the physical tools to be consistently good NBA defenders, but only Marvin has proven that he can't sustain this for an extended period of time. The Hawks don't need huge scoring numbers from either Marvin or Sy; they just need hard nosed defense, energy, and the ability to stretch the floor to help with floor spacing.
Oh yeah, and if Larry Drew actually plans on using Collins in a significant role — keep in mind Collins has averaged more fouls per minute than rebounds per minute over the last three seasons — then the Hawks are going to be pretty screwed.

Bring in Pape Sy ASAP then. If he can be a rotational player. We NEED another SF to backup Marvin.
August 9th, 2010

And whatever buyout the Hawks pay to Le Havre better be less than the luxury tax charge these hypocrites would have incurred by using their mid level exception.

I heard about Pape coming last week. Very exciting to me. Seems to be that rare jewel that other teams would craft into a Parker, a Ginobili, a Scola = great aquisition for little to nothing. Haven't seen much of the kid, but I like what I've seen. Give him a real shot. Live with his mistakes. He'll be better than others we've buried on our bench.
I still say can we somehow manufacture a big out of Bibby, Evans, TPE and picks? That'll force us to use JC2, Teague and Sy. I'm willing to take that risk. Others may not be, but it's my opinion.
August 9th, 2010

Seriously without big help we are behind where were were last season.

I tend to think if Collins was pushed to stay in shape, utilized to keep his conditioning, timing and footwork up he'd be a functional backup. He's not that old, he's not injured. We just never used him so he was definitely very slow and rusty b/c of how we used him. Not because of his talents or lack of talents.
All this conversation of benching Marvin and Bibby is PERFECT. Play hard or sit your butt down! AMEN LD! I'll venture to guess both will step it up and or demand a trade if they get outcompeted. Good competition for slots puts the best team forward. Definitely helps maximize talent. AMEN AMEN AMEN LD!

@MC- Any details on the numbers for the buyout? I think an estimate of how much it would cost us would shed some light on whether ASG would actually do it.

I hope he becomes a contributor – but comparing him to Marvin right now? Come on
August 9th, 2010
12:31 pm
Fully supportive of bringing Sy on – we're short on players and cash, right? He would fix thing one without breaking thing 2. And he's got way more potential than a training camp regular like Siler.
Also, Josh has a ton of blocked shots at the 4, which would drop drastically if he's switched to the 3. Whether there's a 5 added and a shift down or not, we're under-utilizing either Josh or Al.
August 9th, 2010
12:37 pm
"I hope he becomes a contributor – but comparing him to Marvin right now? Come on"
That's more a reflection on Marvin's mediocrity than Sy's potential.

Grandad – not saying that you are wrong about Josh but, look at what MC says,:
"I can't see how shifting Smoove to small forward would ever be a good move. I know he played the 3 as a rookie but when I talked to him about that he didn't seem too enthusiastic about going back. Why take a guy whose forte is defending the paint away from the glass? Wasn't that one major weakness of the switching D?"
Take it up with MC….
August 9th, 2010
12:42 pm
Grandad – also see this, "And do you really think Al would be a better power forward than Smoove, or at least so much better that it's worth it to stick Josh out on the perimeter guarding the best athletes in the league?"
I think you have seen yours truly making the same arguments to you…..
August 9th, 2010
12:42 pm
i'm so happy we can all these things and get better, and secure the fourth spot and exit out of the second round (maybe!) again. the league has become predictible and a form of monopoly assuring bascially 4 teams that will be competing, loaded with the best players, and everybody else becoming window dressing! it does not look good in the future either as long as historic teams such as Knicks keep fumbling and making moves like rehiring isaah thomas! the league should have stepped in and not allowed it due to thomas's past, but………..
August 9th, 2010
12:46 pm
The argument was never that Josh should play the three. We all agree that Josh is above average at the 4. The question is, if we brought in a so called "legit" center, and it forced Al to the 4, would you rather Marvin at the 3 or Josh? If you have any basketball knowledge, and you have eyes, you would rather Josh. In a perfect world, everyone could stay at their positions, but the problem is that you have two guys whose natural position is the 4. I personally like Josh's game at the 4 better than Al's, but Josh is versatile enough to check some centers, 4's and he can guard some 3's. It does not matter now because Shaq is not here.
August 9th, 2010
12:50 pm
Just because MC says that Josh playing the three is not a good move, does not make it the gospel. He is a reporter, not a scout, or a coach. Again the question is if we had gotten Shaq, and he demanded to start, and we agreed, would you want Marvin to start at the 3 or Josh? No need to keep bringing it up now, because it won't happen, but that is the argument.

The roster would be much more balanced if there was a viable rotation player at Center. Hortford and the CENTER would share the center minutes, with Josh and Hortford sharing the PF minutes.
August 9th, 2010
1:01 pm
@Rod – you're missing the point. It's not about Josh v. Marvin at the 3. It's about having two starting-caliber power forwards on the same team. Sure you can shift one to the 5 or the 3, but they are less productive than at their natural position. It's like buying an HDTV but only getting standard cable.
August 9th, 2010

Gotta hand it to you M. C. Quality blogs lately. Good info.
I for one am chomping at the bit to see Sy. I just gotta see for myself why some guy nobody has ever heard of is worth a second round pick. I won't understand it unless I see with my own eyes. Period.
August 9th, 2010
1:14 pm
As much as I love Al and Smoove. I kinda wanna see one of them traded if only to end this debate about who would be a better 4. I am just tired of people trying to force Josh into the 3 role. Forget that he has no jumper. His feet are just not fast enough to defend an NBA caliber 3. Besides you take away his best tool at that position, which is help defense. If you tell me Josh won't get any weakside blocks next year (that's basically what you would be saying) I would tell you to drop the bum.
August 9th, 2010
1:15 pm
interesting one player would be happy with a move the pondered move the other player is not if he has to go to the 3 spot. personally, i think there are some threes that josh could handle and handle them well, not all but some to make it a worthwhile attempt on our part. i think it might make some mismatch issues with other teams.
too bad we dont have a big with the ability to go deep and bomb away on offense making the move a more plausible one to keep josh closer to the basket on offense if that is the great fear in going this direction. i saw him away from the basket a lot last year on defense so i am not as reluctant as some to see him in that role, especially if it makes us bigger against teams that eat us up when going big on us. anyway, though it wasnt by direct design, i know josh can do it.
August 9th, 2010
1:16 pm
I really hope Marvin excels under Drew, and I think he will, especially after hearing Drew say something about Marvin getting shots in rhythm helping him out, which is so true because Marvin is a rhythm player. I remember when Marvin started jumping rope before games because it helped him perform better, he's a guy who needs to be involved and active to produce, I think the fact he's still contributed shows the potential that's still there. There was a Hawks game on Espn this year where somebody, I think Jamaal Mashburn?, said that Marvin is still not playing to his full potential, it was a play-by-play call during the game, but even he could see that Marvin, for whatever reason (I say Woodson), wasn't playing to the best of his ability. I'm glad we haven't given up on Marvin because he has a beautiful shot and I think setting him up for open looks with some screens will really help his game.
Despite all the talk of changes to our team the continued growth of Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Marvin Williams, specifically but not exclusively, in addition to better team chemistry, is our chance to truly contend for a championship. And as an optimistic Hawks fan that is what I choose to believe in, well, hope for at least. Can't wait to see the new offense in action,Go Hawks!
Also just had to add this in, does it drive anyone else absolutely crazy that we specifically chose players who could play a variety of positions only to have Woodson obsessively force them into clearly defined roles?!? Losing Woodson was THE BEST move we could have made this entire offseason, and we made it, thank GOD. This offseason has been solid in my opinion.
August 9th, 2010
1:17 pm
I would expect SY to make the roster especially due to all the movement that has to happen to sign AL. Sy would come very cheap. LD has basically 4 months to evaluate Teague, and Marvin. Ie- if Teague plays very well and earns the starting nod then Bibby will be gone at the deadline with Mo Evans. Sy despite his offense weaknesses, appears to play defense very well and in the Souteastern Division we need as much defense as possible.

"can't see how shifting Smoove to small forward would ever be a good move."
Then allow me to enlighten you, if your skepticism is based upon the arguments advancedd by many on this board:
1.There is a term called mis-match used in the context and lexicon of American professional basketball to indicate a situation where a player of lessor height,strength or agility is placed in a posistion where they must guard a player of greater height,et al.
In the case of Josh Smith, if he were to play the position commenly referred to as the 3 on this board, he would be taller than a majority of the current players at the position,arguably stronger and certainly as agile.
In essence, the opposite of the the many =and often specious-arguments that is usually advanced for NOT contemplating such a strategy.
2.As anyone who has watched the Hawks over the last six years has observed,Josh Smith has been asked to defend all 5 posistions at one time or another including the memorable steal from Steve Nash,four years ago, to spark a dramatic come from behind victory against the Suns. And as you might be aware, there is a defense called the zone. It allows players in essence to guard an area instead of a specific person, thus allowing an interior defender-a 3- to remain closer to the basket when necessary.
3.With regard to the ad hominem arguement that the lack of outside shooting prowess is an automatic disqualifier for anyone to be considered for the position of the 3, I offer the names of Julius Winfield Erving III and Adrian Dantly as 2 examples of players who ovecame the lack of an eeffective outside shot to achieve a measure of success in their careers.
Regarding Josh's enthusiasm or the lack thereof for a possible change to the 3, I believe that his avvowed desire to win is a stronger ,more controlling drive and IF the change occurs, he will embrace it and excell.

"Over the weekend Pendergraft upgraded that to a "slight chance" Sy will join the Hawks this fall."
Not sure if this is worth going "stir-crazy" over based on management history. I thought his advantage was at the SG position as a defender with his size.and wing span. Will he have much advantage guarding the likes of Lebron or Granger? I really couldn't tell too much during his summer league performance. How long will it take to bring this task to closure?
August 9th, 2010
1:23 pm
One problem with Woody is I dont think he was flexible enough with his rotations. And I felt like he was always trying to matchup with the opponent, rather than forcing them to matchup with the Hawks.
I think Anthony Tolliver would have been a good fit as a stretch four. He made 50 three pointers in only 46 games last year. But he has signed with Minny.
August 9th, 2010
1:25 pm
Geez, all this time, I thought TWIN was short for TwinKIE. As in Jason is eating too many Twinkies, (and Moon Pies and Devil Dogs).
Like I said over on Ray's blog, Pape Sy is to Drew what Mario was to Woody. A pet pitbull defender to use for 2 minutes a game and to reinforce a good work ethic during practice.
August 9th, 2010
1:26 pm
Let's say everyone of your arguments is true (which I dispute) for the sake of argument.
Do you disagree that Josh's bigger talent is as a help defender/ shot blocker. And wouldn't putting him in any position which may pull him away from the basket be counter intuitive and offset any benefit of potential mismatches?
August 9th, 2010
1:26 pm
everyone= every one

@Astro – I wholeheartedly support the changing of Collins' nickname from Twin to Twinkie. Or better yet, Devil Dog. I would totally buy that jersey.
August 9th, 2010

Hey Cunningham will the Hawks and Thrashers ever be sold because it sounds like the ASG has no money and took the cheapest way out this summer by hiring Drew and not signing Shaq .
August 9th, 2010
1:48 pm
Interesting to see who the top 15 SF in PER were. Not surprising to see who was not. Marvin. And when northcyde posted the defensive stats a few blogs ago, Marvin was mid teens.
I hope Drew can get him going, because that will be huge for the Hawks. Plus if Marvin is productive, he could even play spot minutes at the 4.
On the list, I think D Wright is a bargain for Orlando. They now have Pietrus, Wright, and Rashard who can all play SF.
Is the other Twin available? If he is, we could add him to our fleet of centers. I'm sure all it takes is one JJ recruiting phone-call…
August 9th, 2010
1:52 pm
"In the case of Josh Smith, if he were to play the position commenly referred to as the 3 on this board, he would be taller than a majority of the current players at the position,arguably stronger and certainly as agile."
Being taller than the guy guarding you only matters if you are shooting over him or posting him up. We all know Josh shouldn't be shooting over anyone, ever, so that leaves us with Josh posting up smaller SFs. Disregarding for a second that plenty of SFs are big enough and quick enough to defend him in the post (including LeBron James and Gerald Wallace in the Hawks' own division), where does that leave the center? If SF Josh and PF Al are your post players, is Zaza/Collins supposed to start shooting mid-range jumpers like Ilgauskas? There simply isn't space on the floor for three guys to play in the paint effectively. Not only does moving Josh to SF compromise some of his skills, it also puts another player outside of their comfort zone.
The biggest argument against Josh at SF, above all, is that it would destroy floor spacing. Nobody would have any room to operate, and a lack of shooters on the floor also diminishes one of Josh's foremost offensive skills, which is passing to the open man out of the double team. Marvin is not a good shooter, but he's a much better shooter (and has much better form on his shot) than Josh. Defenses don't lay off Marvin and bait him into shots like they do Josh. Which brings me to…
"I offer the names of Julius Winfield Erving III and Adrian Dantly as 2 examples of players who ovecame the lack of an eeffective outside shot to achieve a measure of success in their careers."
You're talking about two guys who entered the NBA at a time when the three-point shot didn't even exist. The game has changed a lot since the late 70s and early 80s. If you look at the career 3 point leaders list, only Dale Ellis came into the league before the late 80s; most of those guys played in the 90s and 00s. In an NBA with no 3 point line, long range shooting would obviously have been a less prized commodity and players like Erving and Dantley would have seen less of a reason to develop that skill. In today's NBA, small forwards pretty much have to be able to keep defenses honest with their outside shot, even if they are not prolific shooters, and this is even more important when one of your guards can't shoot from long range with consistency (like Teague).
August 9th, 2010

Pape Sy in a uniform this year? Eh, I've seen stranger things. But of course, ASG will try and sell it because it's a cheap move. Just call me Negative Nathaniel.
August 9th, 2010
1:54 pm
Yeah, I'm sure it's easy to have a top 15 player at every position in PER.
August 9th, 2010
1:57 pm
And anyway, if the goal is just to get Josh matched up on smaller players so that he gets a favorable matchup, there are plenty of ways to do that without changing his position. Milwaukee didn't have to start Brandon Jennings at center to get him matched up on Al Horford.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just got this & made a weekend trip with it. I immediately noticed one of the bungees was missing but shrugged that off as something that could be replaced later. Most of the expected fiddling to get the shoulder harness & all the straps adjusted went well, but I'm nearly at the limit of how small the waist can be adjusted for my 30" size, so skinny people take note.
I like that the main compartment can be accessed from the top, front, or bottom, and the included sleeping bag compartment & rain cover are nice. I would prefer the zipper on the detachable top compartment to be on the other side, but that's pretty minor.
My biggest concern is the quality of this pack going forward. I was using the side with the missing bungee for my sleeping pad, and in the process of inserting it for the 3rd time ever the mesh side pocket started pulling away from the elastic retainer and one side of the bungee came out of the end cap. Backcountry has been good at responding to my concerns, and I'm currently reaching out to ALPS for their response to determine if I'll pursue a warranty replacement or if I'll just return it for credit toward a higher quality pack.
Does it have an exterior sleeping bag...

I believe so. It looks as if the bottom of the bag unzips to fit a decent size sleeping bag.

More Deets about Michelle Borth on #H50 via TV Line
Hawaii Five-0 | As reported earlier this spring,Combat Hospital vet Michelle Borth, after recurring for two seasons as Five-0′s Lt. Catherine Rollins, has been promoted to series regular regular status for Season 3. But how will that work exactly? How will McGarrett's No. 1 lady enter the mix? "It's very organic," starting with the Season 3 opener, says showrunner Peter Lenkov. The only "trick" is Rollins and McGarrett juggling the personal with the professional. "When she originally joins, they are still dating," says Lenkov. "And it's going to be very difficult, like any relationship is."

Which farms are most vulnerable should the ag economy spin lower, either from a major drop in crop prices, lower land values or both? A) Small farms; B) Medium-sized farms; or C) The nation's largest farms by sales type? If you guess C, you are absolutely correct.
Large-volume producers are more likely to go out of business than any other sales category, although only a small percentage are truly at risk right now. For those who are vulnerable, it has less to do with management ability, weather, production or marketing.
It really boils down to finances because on a percentage basis, this group of producers carries more debt; they're more highly leveraged. To go from 3,000 to 10,000 acres, 2,000 to 5,000 sows or 300 to 1,500 dairy cows, takes big money and much of it is borrowed. Moreover, as a group, the majority of farmers who have purchased high-priced land in recent years and are looking for more are largevolume farmers. In years such as 2011 and 2012 this creates a windfall, given record prices, but on the flip side they have less room to move in a downturn.
For example, the debt-to-asset ratio of Kansas farms with sales of $500,000 to $1 million, and more than $1 million, was 28% in 2011, higher than all other classes. Those with $100,000 to $250,000 in sales had a ratio six percentage points lower, 22%. That's using Kansas Farm Management Association (KFMA) data. USDA data for Kansas show a far greater spread from higher to lower sales classes.
"They're (large-scale producers) in reasonably good shape right now, as a group, but farmers in the late 1970s thought they were in reasonably good shape, too," says Allen Featherstone, a Kansas State University ag economist who is quick to add that he does not predict a downward spiral in either commodity prices or land values.
Featherstone's biggest surprise from the study is the debt-to-asset ratio of Kansas farmers is higher today than it was in 1979 (see "Are Black Swans on the Horizon," September 2012 issue), with a disproportionate amount of that debt held by the largest farms. The mean debt-to-asset ratio in 1979 was 24.6% and in 2011 it was 25.5%
However, the percentage of farms with more than 40% debt to assets in 1979 was 19.4% and 23.3% in 2011. The percentage of farms with more than 70% debt to assets in 1979 was 1.3% and in 2011 it was 5.7%. It's sobering to think about, but in 2011, the farms with more than 70% of debt to assets more closely match the percentage in 1981 than 1979.
$5 Million Club Risks Are Up. The probability of default has generally decreased in recent years for each of the sales classes, except for those farms with sales of more than $5 million. Risk for this group actually increased from 1996 to 2010. Risk didn't increase because of commodity prices but because debt has risen.
Using KFMA data, Featherstone indicates that fewer than 2% of large-scale producers (more than $1 million in sales) are at risk of default, less for other categories. The only years with less risk of default were '73, '74, '75 and '79; however, the risk changed rapidly from '79 to '81, illustrating that low numbers one year are not necessarily safe for the next.
