Story for Thursday's print edition.
In the summer of 2011, when the specter of conference realignment threatened to rearrange the landscape of college athletics, the ACC seemed caught in the middle of the maelstrom.
A year and a few months later, the conference has stabilized itself in a manner that would have appeared improbable at the time. Its latest and most deft maneuver brought Notre Dame into the fold Wednesday. Perhaps the most recognized name in college athletics, the Fighting Irish will join the league in every sport but football and men's ice hockey and will play five football games each year against ACC opponents.
"It's a huge day for the league," Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich said. "For anyone who thought the ACC was not relevant any longer, I think this kind of puts us back into (the picture). There are five major conferences and we're one of them. It solidifies our seat at the table."
A year after expanding to 14 with Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the league may have completed its realignment maneuvers by adding Notre Dame as its 15th member. At a news conference in Chapel Hill, N.C., commissioner John Swofford called the addition of a 16th school "illogical," as it would unbalance the league's two football divisions with 15 teams. Swofford began serious talks with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick after the formation of a four-team football playoff left the Fighting Irish with decreased access to the top bowl games.
"It was just the time to take a look at what our future held," Swarbrick said.
Notre Dame will be eligible for the ACC's contracted bowls and share in bowl revenue for all non-BCS bowls while remaining an independent for BCS bowl games. It won't be eligible to win the ACC or represent the league in the Orange Bowl.
While Notre Dame will retain its contract with NBC for its home games, the ACC will have the broadcast rights for the games hosted by conference teams, two one year and three the next. With the added inventory of games, the conference will re-open negotiations with television partner ESPN. Adding Notre Dame, with its rabid following and national brand, to its bowl lineup will also likely improve the conference's appeal to bowl games, meaning higher-profile games and increased payouts. Swofford called it a win-win.
"I think John is the consummate professional as it relates to understanding what's important to you and what's important to you and then trying to create that middle ground to make the deal," Radakovich said.
No timetable was set Wednesday for the transition from the Big East. Swarbrick said his goal is to begin playing the five ACC games in 2014. The tentative plan calls for the Fighting Irish to play each team every three years, alternating home and away. That would mean Tech's first game against Notre Dame would be no later than 2016. The 2015-16 school year would be the latest that Notre Dame would begin play as an ACC member in sports besides football and ice hockey.
Tech's 34-game series with the Irish dates back to 1922, a longer history among present or future ACC members than all but Pittsburgh and Syracuse and a greater number of games than all but Pittsburgh. The Irish own a 27-6-1 series lead, though the Yellow Jackets won the last meeting, a 33-3 win in 2007 in South Bend, Ind.
"Clearly, Notre Dame's a program that's steeped in tradition and rich in their history," coach Paul Johnson said. "They've been a marquee national team, so hopefully it'll add something to this league when they come in."
From a men's basketball standpoint, a fierce league will grow more teeth. Notre Dame has made the NCAA tournament five of the past six years and has been no worse than a No. 7 seed in that time. Pitt has made 10 of the past 11 NCAA tournaments. Syracuse has reached the Sweet 16 three of the past four seasons.
Tech basketball coach Brian Gregory said the Irish solidified the ACC "as the best and deepest basketball conference in the country."
Gregory also noted that the addition opens the market of nearby Chicago. The conference that was founded in 1953 with seven schools located in four contiguous states – Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina – will now extend to central New York, Indiana and south Florida. The league will have almost as many former Big East members, six, as charter members.
The schools are now bound together by a $50 million exit fee, Notre Dame included, up from the $20 million sum agreed upon last fall. The ACC had to break with its tradition of "all or nothing" membership, but Swofford quoted Clemson president Jim Barker on that matter.
"You know, what was best 20 years ago isn't necessarily best in today's world," he said.
Wednesday would be testament to that.
Thanks for reading.

Ken, do you think this will help tech adjust its schedule so that UGA, Va Tech & Clemson won't be away games in same year?
September 13th, 2012

Hope to beat them every time we play but they'll be their Blue and Gold and we'll be in our white and tan (yuk). you're right Old Tech, need to fix that UGA, VT and CLUMPSON problem…

Anyone care to venture a guess as to how long before the ND Football program petitions the ACC for a full schedule? The climate of college football conferences seems to be ever changing and surely the play off system will grow from the current 4 to more within the next twelve years or so. Maybe less.
I feel that college conferences are transitioning in order to accommodate the playoff process and see this move by ND as doing the same thing. In ten years, no independent will be considered for a top BCS bowl game. They will all have to come out of a conference. JMHO.

If there was any question on why ND chose the ACC to align itself with, look no further than the recent USNews report on the top universities in America. With ND, that puts the ACC at seven of the top thirtysix. No other conference was even close except the Ivy League and I doubt ND gave that a lot of consideration. Where does the the SEC rank you may wonder. One of the top sixty, Vandy.

Is it just me or does the ACC kow tow to Notre Dame make the conference and its member schools look small. When FSC joined the school was coming off of two recent national championships and yet it didn't decide or opt to keep its independent football revenue. Same for Miami. I guess what we are seeing is a blatant admittance by the conference that Notre Dame is not only different but better, bigger, stronger, more glamorous and much more prestigious. I say we change the name of the conference to The Atlantic Coast Conference with Notre Dame!
September 13th, 2012
7:42 am
Toe Meets Leather, given your scenario Vanderbilt should have switched conferences. It would better reflect what the ACC has become, i.e. a pretty good basketball conference (with two good teams and the rest offal) and arguably the second to worst football conference in the country. I guess we are better than the Mountain West but then you have to ask Utah about that.

This is an interim step, it won't last long. After ND's football TV package w/ NBC expires in 2015, they will need to play a full ACC football sked. Then Swofford will add one more program for 2 8-team divisions. Louisville, Rutgers and UConn are the ones being mentioned now…
September 13th, 2012

How many irrelevant football programs must be added to an irrelevant football conference before the irrelevant football conference becomes relevant? Time will tell.
September 13th, 2012

Uh, what table Dan? The Champ Sports Bowl table? The Sun Bowl table? The Hawaii Bowl table? That's just a small sampling of the pretigious post-season destinations of the mighty Fighting Irish in recent years, if they even made it to a bowl game at all. So I'm a little confused on what "table" the ACC now sits at. You would think that Southern Cal was joining the ACC the way they're talking this up.
This is such a joke. So the ACC has another creampuff for the big boys to whip up on? Big deal. Funny how the ACCers love to cry about how much hype the SEC gets. That's all this is. Its nothing but hype. Notre Dame is a joke.

Ken, the first 7 members of the ACC did not include UVA. It started as an NC (Duke, NC State, UNC, Wake), SC (Clemson, USC), and Maryland league. They formed in May of 53, then in December they let UVA in to reach 8 members. So the first 8 teams were from those contiguous states.

Huge day for Notre Dame, not the ACC. Small school, arrogant players and fans and the school wants to keep their football revenue…..THWND. Don't need em, don't want em, don't fit the league. Big whoop.

I wonder how much money NBC has lost on the Football deal with ND. Of course given their recent track record, they are likely to renew it despite its obvious liabilities.
September 13th, 2012
9:37 am
Just wanted to re post over here on KSs page. I just curious to see what the responses may be.
I have to admit initially I wasn't real thrilled with this change but the more I thought about the more it makes sense. Academically ND is on par with some of the best schools in the country and despite their woes in football the remainder of their sports programs are usually nationally ranked. For all the naysayers out there the ND cachet still exists. By no means am I or ever have been a fan of ND but to deny that they have a tremendous fan base is simply silly.
My questions to all of the non ACC fans that have blasted and belittled the move is this. If ND is irrelevant as a sports insitution and the ACC is so horrible……………why do you care enough to voice an opinion? I am not telling anyone they cannot have an opinion I just what to know why it's important to you to care?

Notre Dame are a complete bunch of self-serving hypocrites. Look at this quote from their AD from last year when Pitt and Syracuse left the Big East.
"I don't understand it," Jack Swarbrick said as a new round of conference hopping in college athletics moved into high gear Sunday. "How do you vote as a collegiate president on something that has the potential to provide some benefit for your institution and the conference you're affiliated with but has a very negative consequence for a host of other members of the academy, as presidents like to call it?
"I'd like to know how much of these discussions are: What's right? What is the best thing for the larger enterprise, and how many other schools would be adversely impacted?
"I just don't know that that's happening."
September 13th, 2012
9:48 am
you don't understand, these non-ACC fans are little fish in a big SEC pool. Since their team is annually doomed to finish on the 3rd or 4th shelf of that big pool, their only joy in life pick on someone they perceive as weaker, even if they don't have much to bost about individually. Good thing they have a big brother in LSU or Bamer to cover their back.
September 13th, 2012
9:54 am
"If ND is irrelevant as a sports insitution and the ACC is so horrible……………why do you care enough to voice an opinion?"
Because the news just came out yesterday and its a hot topic. Trust me, as soon as Notre Dame and the ACC get back to their usual losing ways against top competition this will all be forgotten. They maybe should have waited to announce this until the bowl season when the ACC is getting its azz kicked and needs something to distract everyone's attention from it. Bad PR move there.
September 13th, 2012

PERCEIVE as weaker? Did that word seriously just come out of your mouth Techie? You have beaten us a grand total of 1 time in 12 freaking years and we only PERCIEVE you as weaker? What drug are you on?

Reebok is dead on. I don't understand why people to jump to the obvious – it's about money! ACC schools will likely be making more in 2015 than ND based on the current contract assuming 1) a similar pay scale for ND and 2) a slight bump for ACC as a result of ND partially joining. IF ND were to become a full member in 2015 when their contract was up, the new contract at that point would be a lot bigger than current, though still probably not quite SEC-quality.
One other thing to think about for 2015, it would be the perfect time to announce PSU as a new addition to the ACC. It would give us a true north-south makeup, 16 teams, and 5 of the top 7 media markets in the country (ATL, DC, CHI, NYC, BOS). Write it down now and remember to tell me I was right in a few years

Tokyo, I see that too. PSU is the perfect fit for the 16th team, academically and athletically. PSU would have joined the ACC if it was offered 10 years ago, they have always thought of themselves as an East Coast team, not a midwest team.
And ignore dawgfan and the others that want to belittle this move. It was a great move by the ACC. When Pitt and Syracuse joined it was not front page news, but ND is still a big deal, in spite of what the SEC boys think.
September 13th, 2012

Did someone just accuse the SEC boys of thinking???? Mm my!!

i look for notre dame to join the acc in football at some point down the road, maybe after their nbc contract ends.
next up, penn state.
either way, adding the most well known football team in the country is a strong move by the acc.

Ol jack — Swofford got the worse end of the deal. ND has no allegiance to the ACC. Who's to say they don't bounce for a better deal in 2015? Is NBC guaranteed to re-up with ND then, which may or may not include the ACC?
Next to my beloved alma mater, GT is the only School I have a rooting interest for. Am I the only one who remembers ND destroying the legacy of a good man & a great Institution?
Am I the only one who remembers how classless that was??
They hired O'Leary, then got cold feet per the liberal faction of their alumni that wanted Ty Willingham. How'd they rectify the situation……by making a mockery of O'Leary using resume-gate as a front!! They forced a good man to take a Dive simply because their decision to hire O'Leary wasn't accepted by the masses!
Just remember that Bobby, the next time you pull your ND Pom poms out!!

"Louisville, Rutgers and UConn are the ones being mentioned now…"
I daresay Louisville would never be considered for membership in the ACC. There is a large gulf between the academic rankings of the lowest-ranked ACC school and Louisville.

Ol jack — Swofford got the worse end of the deal. ND has no allegiance to the ACC. Who's to say they don't bounce for a better deal in 2015?
They would have to pay the ACC $50 million dollars. If they feel like doing that after just one year in the league then more power to them.

"When Pitt and Syracuse joined it was not front page news, but ND is still a big deal, in spite of what the SEC boys think"
Its obviously getting the ACC headlines. I can't possibly dispute that. But if that's all the ACC was going for with this I think that's bush league. Man up and play some damn football if you want respect. Adding some hyped up has been media darling isn't going to help your crap football conference on the field any. Wake me up when that happens.
September 13th, 2012

Pure speculation.
Even if true, what's 50 mil to ND? According to you Bobby, they print $$ in South Bend.
September 13th, 2012
2:09 pm
Its not speculation Big Crimson. From Marks blog:
"And here's the other deft trick Swofford turned: He upped the buyout fee for anyone wishing to leave the ACC to $50 million. That's up from $20 million, and that's a cost no university can begin to pay.
This means Florida State and Clemson and Virginia Tech aren't going anywhere. And the buyout, Swofford noted, "does apply to Notre Dame and goes into effect immediately."
You really think Notre Dame is going to pay to leave the Big East, then turn around and pay $50 million to leave the ACC one year later? I can't imagine they are that bad at business.
September 13th, 2012
2:11 pm
Big Crimson – I don't see what a bigger deal would be. They have had umpteen overtures from the Big Ten. The Pac-14 doesn't make any sense, other than traditional rivalries and several strong academic schools (which they are keeping). Nor does the Big 12. That leaves the SEC, who apparently would not want them from the fans' outrage on these blogs, and there would be about zero cultural identity with the SEC members and the Big 12 members. I, for one, watch all of the SEC vs. SEC games I can. I've been an SEC fan since Tech was a member.

The "America's Got Talent" live rounds kicked off Tuesday at New York's Radio City Music Hall, but according to veteran judge Howie Mandel, the real fun started after the show.
During a Wednesday morning visit to TODAY, Mandel teased about the post-"Talent" party back at his hotel.
"It was a threesome!" he boasted. "I invited Heidi (Klum) and Mel (B) back to the hotel for a nightcap."
TODAY guest host Mel B said the celebration went on until 2:30 in the morning — well, that's when she left. But it seems there was one "Talent" judge who missed out on the fun all together. Didn't Howard Stern get an invite?
"No," Mandel said, as if stating the obvious. "Heidi Klum and Mel B are sitting there and you say, 'Would you like to come back to the hotel?' Do I need Howard?!"
Point taken.
As for the on-air fun before the party, Mandel had a clear favorite from Tuesday's show — acro-balancers The KriStef Brothers.
"Amazing," he said of the duo.
That's also Mandel's take on his own new endeavor, "Deal With It." Mandel serves as executive producer on the TBS game show that sees him and other celebrities convince people to secretly do their bidding for a chance to win some cash.
See the video above for a sneak peek of the action to come.
The series premiere of "Deal With It" airs Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. on TBS. The next "America's Got Talent" live show kicks off the same night at 9 on NBC.

Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villaseñor says the City of Tucson has been in talks with the police department to beef up security at City Hall for months.
There has also been talk about providing mayoral security and beefing up security at local ward offices at the request of council members.
Villaseñor says an incident on Wednesday involving as suspicious package prompted them to move fast and add an additional Tucson Police officer to protect City Hall, and the mayor's office.
Those who walk into City Hall today will see two TPD officers and a private security guard in the building, although staff stress all of this is temporary.

what did i do today?
go karaoke in wan chai :) [the red light district of hong kong island]
it was fun! despite the language/cultural barrier that exists between international exchange students :( i don't think everyone had fun though, because some people didn't know the songs others were singing, so it was kind of awkward.
if only there was alcohol, things would've been probably a lot better—THOUGH it was fun none the less :)
AWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH: old school music i sang:
- westlife: my love + world of our own
- abba: mamma mia + dancing queen
- blue: one love
- n'sync: bye bye bye. promise?
- spice girls: wannabeeeee
- backstreet boys: want it that wayyyyyyy.
- andrea bocceli+sara brightman: time to say goodbye IN ITALIANOOO!!
- no chinese old school songs though :/
we had a mix of: chinese, english, korean, and… sadly no japanese songs in the mix :)
side note: do you see what i'm wearing? isn't it very hippie like. WELL, YOU ARE CORRECT.
today, for one of my group projects [creative industries in east asia (aka porn class)], i was a hippie for my skit. and TOMORROW, another project [in intro to accounting. who the fuck has projects in accounting????] i have to wear something formal. ugh what the fuck. so maybe you'll see another outfit of mine tomorrow!

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222204Interesting question, but I would say the first step to launching a business is somewhere between having the initial idea and earning the first actual dollar in your new venture.
The official beginning of a new business is different for everybody. I would caution that getting caught up in the administrative setup of a business -- including finding office space and fitting out that space -- is an extreme distraction to actually doing business.
Many first-time owners get caught up in those activities thinking they are doing actual business when nothing could be further from the truth. So while you're getting your paperwork completed, you also need to be engaged in the "business" of your business.
It's important to ask yourself these question:
Do you have a targeted prospects/suspects/customer list or database setup?
Do you have a good base of suppliers or vendors you can rely on?
Do you have all the numbers of your business worked out? Do they add up to cashflow and profit? If not immediately, when? Is there something you can do now to help shorten that gap?
Do you have systems to generated qualified leads? Do you have a strategy for generating repeat business (knowing you probably won't be profitable on a per customer basis until the third or fourth purchase)?
Planning and getting things in place for items like these will not only make you feel like you are doing more official business, it will actually help you in and on your business.
Congratulations on taking the first steps to ownership, and if anything, you'll realize the definitions of your business and your success will largely be defined and driven by you.
So if your LLC application date works for you, you've just notched your first milestone in what will hopefully be a long and successful entrepreneurial career.

First came the outrage over plans for a mosque near ground zero. Now there's anger over a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Quran.
Caught up in it all is President Barack Obama, who'd rather be talking about something — anything — else.
Two months before the fall elections, when Obama is trying to convince Americans that Democrats are squarely focused on the economy, the last thing he needs is another heated flap about Muslims, churning up lingering doubts about Obama's religious sympathies and his resolve against terrorism. Slow to weigh in last month on the New York mosque question, Obama's team moved quickly this week to speak out forcefully against plans by a small Florida church to torch copies of the Muslim holy book on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Kabul, warned that the church's actions could inflame public opinion in a way that endangers U.S. troops and undermines efforts to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Robert Gates echoed Petraeus. Attorney General Eric Holder called it idiotic. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it was disgraceful. Obama adviser David Axelrod went with un-American, and held out hope the pastor of the church would come to his senses.
"The reverend may have the right to do what he's doing, but it's not right," Axelrod said on morning television.
The administration hoped to rein in the story by speaking out clearly and with one voice.
But it is a measure of the intense emotions attached to matters of religion and politics in the post 9/11 world that such a tiny tail — an independent church with 50 followers — could wag such a big dog.
It's also a measure of how much Obama's team wanted to change the subject.
Obama spent Wednesday in Cleveland promoting his economic plans and reaching out to those he acknowledges are "frustrated and angry and anxious about the future." He made no reference to the Quran plan.
Pollster Andy Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, said large percentages of Americans believe Muslims are unfairly discriminated against in this country, so the administration probably hasn't incurred harm from taking on the church. But Obama "didn't do himself any good by weighing in on the mosque controversy" in New York, Kohut added.
For weeks, as Republicans including Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich denounced plans for the mosque, the White House sidestepped the issue, insisting it was a local zoning matter. But once the mosque cleared its final regulatory hurdle last month, Obama spoke out clearly in its defense.
"This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable," he said.
From there, as Republicans fumed and most Democrats stayed silent, Obama's message got more muddled.
"I will not comment on the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there," he said.
Several Democrats, notably including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, had no such reservations. They said a mosque didn't belong so close to the site of the toppled World Trade Center towers. Republicans went further, Gingrich accusing Obama of "pandering to radical Islam."
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio on Wednesday tried to lump together the two issues — plans for the Quran-burning and the mosque — saying that "just because you have the right to do something in America does not mean it's the right thing to do."
Whatever the arguments on either issue, anything that keeps Obama from being heard on the economy isn't helpful.
Nor is anything that stirs up questions about Obama's religious leanings — he's a Christian who had a Muslim father — and his priorities in fighting terrorism.
Obama has yet to clearly establish his religious identity with the public. A Pew poll released last month found that nearly one in five people incorrectly believe he's Muslim, up from 11 percent in March 2009. Only a third of people think Obama is Christian, down from nearly half last year.

One Response to "Another controversy, another distraction for Obama"
This wing nut and his gormless "followers" are getting WAY too much air play.
Rather than blather on an on about the horror if it, I strongly suggest Mr. Obama and his minions simply instruct the IRS to audit this clown's so-called tax records with the aim of pulling his tax exempt status.
Clearly, this far right religious zealot's words and deeds (i.e. "sending a message") indicate his "church" has now turned into little more than a lobby organization.
And the last time I checked, THAT activity is in direct contravention to his (and his "church's) federal tax exempt status. The IRS also needs to fine this idiot (and his so-called "church") for engaging in political lobby activity without registering themselves as such.
It seems to me that the threat of a stiff fine (and/or jail time) on both accounts would shut both him (and his so-called "congregation") up big time.

Check in at TheMidwifeIsIn.tumblr.com if you have any other questions.
There is also the Abortion Pill (Mifepristone). It can be taken up to 9 weeks (but is most effective up to 7 weeks and check the laws in your state). It is comparable to a miscarriage and after getting the intial dosage from your medical service provider, you take the rest at home and go through the process at home.
This is super important, valuable information that I think many people don't know. Also, when you go to an abortion clinic (I at least know this is true for Planned Parenthood) there's a counseling meeting where you discuss the alternatives with a doctor and sign a consent form saying that abortion is what you really want. A lot of people who oppose abortion will want to tell you that abortion clinics and reproductive health centers will try to convince you to have the abortion, but that's just not true. (I mean, only 3% of Planned Parenthood's services are abortions. Family planning and community health centers like Planned Parenthood are often more concerned with prevention and awareness and other aspects of health. They're more interested in helping you have options than they are in only giving you the one.)
Nor is it true that any medical center will throw the embryo away in a dumpster after the procedure. I'm sure none of you really thought that, but slander is a vicious thing that spreads and becomes true in the eyes of those who want to believe it because it fits into their agenda.
Additionally: know your rights. When I worked at Planned Parenthood, I learned that protesters are not allowed to be in front of the building or in the parking lot. They have to stay on the sidewalk, further away from the building. They are not supposed to try to convince you not to go into the building, nor can they physically block you from going in or follow you inside. You have to be let in by someone already in the building, which means that any appointment you have there - counseling, a check-up, a mammogram, an abortion, a testing - will be confidential and safe.
Thank you!! I actually had no idea what happened when you got an abortion so this is really valuable information

Home Games in Question for GHS Spring Sports
Some of the Galesburg High School Silver Streaks spring sports were hoping to do at least some work at home this season despite ongoing Master Facilities Plan work, but that's looking more and more to be not the case.
It was already known that the GHS track team wouldn't be at home this year because of ongoing construction of the new football and track fields, but GHS Athletic Director Ralph Henning says even practice is a problem because of the harsh winter we've had.

The committee had set aside $5 million for advertising and had other plans for logistical and field support for Akin's campaign before his comments on Sunday.
At least one outside group that has advertised extensively in Missouri, the Karl Rove-backed Crossroads GPS, has also said it was also pulling all of its advertising in Missouri.

|Post a Comment
Two GOP officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to irritate Akin, said party officials seeking to talk with him were having trouble reaching him Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Akin campaign spokesman Ryan Hite declined Tuesday to reveal Akin's whereabouts but said he was not in his suburban St. Louis campaign office. Hite said the campaign may release information about his public schedule later.
The apology video Akin posted on YouTube early Tuesday was an apparent attempt to claw back some of the lost funding.
"Fact is, rape can lead to pregnancy. The truth is rape has many victims. The mistake I made was in the words I said, not in the heart I hold. I ask for your forgiveness," he said in the video.
Just two weeks ago, Akin was at the top of the political world in Missouri after winning a hotly contested three-way battle with millionaire businessman John Brunner and former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman for the right to challenge McCaskill in the November election. Missouri has grown increasingly conservative in recent years, and McCaskill is seen as vulnerable.
One anti-abortion group expressed support for Akin, while another called on him to step aside.
Missouri Right to Life, which opposes a woman's right to get an abortion even in cases of rape and incest, said Akin's "consistent defense of innocent unborn human life clearly contrasts" with McCaskill's position. But the Christian Defense Coalition called on him to withdraw.
Names are being floated about a possible replacement for Akin. A favorite is Tom Schweich, the state auditor who was courted to run for Senate earlier this year but declined.
Other names mentioned include former Gov. Matt Blunt, the son of Sen. Roy Blunt; two members of Missouri's House delegation, Blaine Luetkemeyer and Jo Ann Emerson; and Akin's two unsuccessful primary opponents, Brunner and Steelman.
Talent, who lost his seat to McCaskill in 2006, said Monday he had been asked to run but declined.
If Akin were to leave, state law gives the Republican state committee two weeks to name a replacement. The new candidate must file within 28 days of Akin's exit.

WEDNESDAY, May 25 (HealthDay News) -- The symptoms and severity
of autism vary widely, but new research shows remarkable
similarities at the molecular level in the brains of people with
the disorder.
Researchers from Los Angeles, Toronto and London analyzed
post-mortem brain tissue samples from 19 people with autism and 17
In the healthy brains, researchers saw distinct differences in
the gene expression in the frontal lobe vs. the temporal lobe of
the cerebral cortex -- differences that help determine the
structure and function of the two brain regions.
Specifically, between the frontal and temporal lobes in the
healthy brains, more than 500 genes were expressed at different
levels. Gene expression is the process by which a gene's DNA
sequence is copied into RNA to produce proteins, which perform
specific tasks within the cell.
But researchers didn't find those same patterns in autistic
brains. Instead, researchers found only eight differences in the
gene expression in the frontal and temporal lobes.
"In a healthy brain, the frontal and temporal lobes can be differentiated," said principal investigator Dr. Daniel Geschwind, a distinguished professor of neurology, psychiatry and human genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "But in autism we didn't see that. Instead, the frontal lobe closely resembles the temporal lobe."
Many of those regional differences in the cerebral cortex are
established during fetal development, researchers added.
The study is published in the May 25 online issue of
Over the past decade, researchers have discovered lots of gene
variants that seem to play a role in some cases of autism, but none
of the mutations were present in a large percentage of people with
the disorder.
Prior research has also implicated regions of the cerebral
cortex, which is highly developed in humans, in autism. The frontal
lobe is involved with judgment, language, planning, social
cognition and personality, while the temporal lobe is important for
language and emotions, Geschwind said.
But this is the first study to show differences in the patterns
of gene expression between brain regions. It's those patterns of
gene expression that enable the brain to function normally and to
communicate properly with other regions of the brain, explained
Robert Ring, vice president for translational research for Autism
"This study allows us to look at the complexity of what's going on at a molecular level in the brain, a step up from the gene," Ring said. "Here we have the opportunity to really see that the development of normal brain physiology requires differences in the regional activity of gene networks. This report provides evidence that the expected pattern of these differences is absent in autism."
Researchers say the findings may help in the development of
medications that target the pathways. "The fact that it's shared
says there is some hope of beginning to unwind this and develop
some treatments that would target those pathways," Geschwind
Compared to the healthy brains, autistic brains had less
activity in the genes responsible for neuron function and
communication, and a heightened level of gene expression in genes
involved in immune function and inflammatory response.
Some of those genes have also previously been implicated in
autism, researchers noted.
An estimated one in 110 U.S. children -- including one in 70
boys -- has an autism spectrum disorder, according to background
information in the study. Autism affects behavior and impairs the
ability to communicate and establish social relationships.
Diagnoses have increased tenfold in the past decade.

Getting ready for the new year
there are backhoes in the middle school, carpet piled high
in the high school library, the skeleton of a new primary
school pod has just begun to appear, and school starts in
less than a week. Still, no ones
Construction foreman Bob Gilden said the middle school and high school will be ready by the time school starts. The primary school should be completed by next June, and the renovations to the Ken Waters and new gyms will be finished by January. Work begins next summer on the elementary school. As close as the work cuts to the beginning of classes, and as far into the year as it will stretch, the project as a whole is ahead of schedule. When the bond was passed, we thought it would take a few years, Gilden said, but we accelerated the schedule so we could make one big mess instead of a small mess every year.
The bond passed in May 2001, and when its $19.8 million worth of dust settles, it will leave the district with a new face. Already finished are parking lots in Point Roberts and behind the football stands, and the list of projects still to be completed is daunting. The high school/PAC parking lot is nearly done, and lighting and landscaping should be in place by October. Four classrooms, a computer lab, and an outdoor courtyard have been added to the high school, the home ec classrooms have moved to the high school, freeing up classrooms in the middle school in addition to a total overhaul of the kitchen, cafeteria, band room, entryways, and additional classrooms.
The primary school will get a fourth pod, a new covered and soundproofed play area, and a grass-covered outdoor play area. The Ken Waters gym is undergoing modernization, and when athletic facility renovation is complete, the new gym will have locker rooms, multipurpose rooms for wrestling, weightlifting, and PE, and will be connected to Ken Waters by a new main entrance. The elementary school will get a new kitchen, cafeteria, and classroom modernization.
District-wide, improvements have begun on lighting, fire protection, temperature control, and security. A new lock and keypad system will allow classrooms to be locked from the inside, and ID cards will restrict unauthorized access. Video cameras are also being installed.
The project remains on track and on budget. While the August 28 start date looms large in the vision of the construction crews, Gilden is confident everything will be in relative order. Were really moving along, he said. .

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls man accused of kicking his eight-year-old daughter, which escalated into a standoff with police Monday night, was arrested last night where he worked.
Officer Sam Clemens says police cornered 31-year-old Colin Michael Tibbetts in a restaurant break room. Clemen says Tibbetts threatened police with a knife and tried stacking boxes in front of the door. The officers could open the door enough to use pepper spray on Tibbets who dropped the knife and surrendered.
Clemens says police ended the standoff with Tibbetts on Monday when they determined he was alone, opting for a later arrest.
Tibbetts is charged with abuse or cruelty to a minor, aggravated assault on law enforcement and resisting arrest.

Watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt cover R.Kelly's 'Ignition' remix (VIDEO)
We present you with the best thing to emerge on the Internet today. You can thank us later.
It's no secret that universal cutie Joseph Gordon Levitt knows how to play the guitar. Remember his rendition of Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' last year? Fun, right?
Well in this video, Gordon-Levitt managed to take a fairly dirty song and turn it into a sexy slow jam. We're all adults here, with lyrics like "It's the freakin weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun' we all know what kind of fun he's talking about.
Gordon-Levitt interrupts the song at one point to ask the what sounds like a predominately female crowd "who here likes sex?" Obviously, the crowd goes nuts, because, who doesn't like sex, right? As the crowd is hollering, Gordon-Levitt answers the obvious question: he too enjoys getting down. Phew, he got us worried.
And just like that, with this video, our ovaries exploded. We're forever grateful to whoever posted it on YouTube.

Nothing would be done at all if one waited until one could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
Perfection seems sterile; it is final, no mystery in it; it's a product of an assembly line.
Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solitude is the enemy of well-being.

You learn something every day
I've been working with PHP for a very long time. Working with a language for over a decade, you come to the point where (for better or worse) you know every quirk, nuance and feature of the language. Or at least that's what I thought, because today I learnt something new, and very, very useful.
There's often the case where, especially in heavy OOP projects, you want to extend a class just to modify the way a single method works. This is called overloading, and combined with dependency injection it allows you to modify core classes of a library, without the evil sin of hacking the core code. However, often these methods will call a parent method, using parent::whatever(). If you want to override that method but still call its parent, you can't use the same parent keyword because the class you're overriding is now the new parent. You need to call the grandparent, but there's no grandparent keyword! What a pickle.
Well it turns out if you call a non-static method that is an ancestor of the current class, PHP is clever enough to call it dynamically and keep the $this context. So you can effectively just call the grandparent's method directly and statically. This false bug report explains it better.

New Qt Version 4.3.4 under GPLv3
Trolltech is releasing version 4.3.4 of its GUI library under the version 3 of the GPL. Apart from this the makers of Qt have simply fixed bugs in the release.
The Norwegian software company removed various bugs in its class library that had led to crashes. For example, certain fonts had caused the X Window system to crash, and directories in the QFile dialog went on strike if they were simultaneously hidden and the current working directory. The QSsl socket was affected by a certificate validation vulnerability. More details are available in the Release Notes.
The class library is available for downloading by Open Source developers under the GPLv3. The move from GPLv2 to GPLv3 is in line with the announcement made by the Trolltech CEO at the KDE Release Event mid-January. The download page has not been updated in this respect and still refers to GPL Version 2. On top of this, the library is not free for commercial implementations (dual licensing). Nokia took over the reins at Trolltech in January (as Linux Magazine reported).

William Froug, the Emmy-winning writer-producer, author and screenwriting professor who restructured UCLA's entire screenwriting program, died of natural causes at the Tidwell House Hospice in Sarasota, Florida, on Aug. 25. He was 91.
As a television writer/producer, he was attached to series including "The Twilight Zone," "Gilligan's Island," "Charlie's Angels," "Playhouse 90" and "Adventures in Paradise." His involvement in "Bewitched" earned him a shared Emmy nomination for outstanding comedy series in 1967.
His career in Hollywood started after a stint in the Navy, where he was a naval officer during WWII and was given command of his own ship in 1945 where, according to his daughter, he honed his writing skills. He sold his first novella to "True Detective Magazine" after an honorable discharge.
In 1958, he won an Emmy for best produced television series for "Eddie," for which he also received a Producers Guild Award. Among other accolades, he received the Writers Guild of America, West's Valentine Davies Award for industry/community service in 1987 and was named one of the "Emmy Legends of Television" by the Archive of America Television last year.
While serving as executive in charge of drama at CBS, he pursued teaching and became an adjunct professor at USC's film school from 1968-1975. Later, he became a tenured professor at UCLA, where he restructured their film department.
Froug wrote several educational best-sellers, including "Screenwriting Tricks of the Trade," "Zen & the Art of Screenwriting: Insights & Interviews" and "The Screenwriter Looks at the Screenwriter." He also wrote an autobiography titled "How I Escaped from Gilligan's Islandâ¦And Other Misadventures of a Hollywood Writer-Producer."
His reputation and work in Hollywood earned praise from late film critic Roger Ebert.
"I know an old writer. His name is William Froug. He lives in Florida, and if you look him up on Amazon, you will see he is still writing brilliant and useful books about screenwriting and teleplays," Ebert once said. "He is not merely as sharp as a tack; he is the standard by which they sharpen tacks."
Froug is survived by four children - Suzy Allegra, Nancy Earth, Lisa Froug-Hirano and Jonathon Froug - as well as two great grandchildren, and was married to Christine Michaels at the time of his death. Per his wishes, his ashes will be scattered in the Pacific Ocean by the Navy.

Flash Drive: 2009 Buick Enclave CXL
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2015.
By Staff of MSN Autos
The Buick Enclave is an excellent example of what GM is doing right in terms of making vehicles that people want and that people need. A large vehicle for carrying seven people, the Enclave is a great alternative to a truck-based SUV, with an elegant and classy design, first-class materials and excellent fit and finish, inside and out. One of the things that Buick touts is how quiet the interior is; any noise from the drivetrain or outside is isolated to create a nice, quiet environment. The Enclave is not sloppy or loose to drive, but it is definitely tuned toward ride and comfort. Translated: It's not as crisp or responsive as I would prefer. The front seats feel like comfortable living-room furniture, making it difficult to find a comfortable driving position. But they are cooled, which is cool. There is no way to move a vehicle of this size without burning some gas, so don't expect much in the mpg department. – Mike Meredith
Anyone who still thinks GM can't build a quality, attractive vehicle needs to spend some time in the Buick Enclave. The interior of this good-looking, 3-row crossover is spacious, with easy-to-access seating. Though it doesn't feel too big on the road, the Enclave is a sizable machine, which did pose an issue when I tried to fit it into my garage. On the road, the Enclave runs quietly and smoothly and would be ideal for a family excursion. It won't win any races, but since that's not a typical goal of a crossover buyer, its power is more than adequate. Overall, it's a great family vehicle and a perfect alternative for buyers who want the utility of a minivan but don't want to be seen driving one. – Perry Stern
The Buick Enclave is a very attractive SUV. It's spacious inside, with lots of leg, head and shoulder room for all passengers. Controls are easy to read and use. And passengers in the back seat can watch the optional DVD entertainment TV, or listen to the stereo in surround sound, which is very pleasant. When running errands around town, there is plenty of room for hauling stuff when the seats are folded down. Acceleration is decent for a vehicle of this size, and it achieves 18 mpg in mixed driving. Unfortunately, the Enclave is difficult to park in garages due to its large size. Overall, the Buick Enclave is a strong performer in the large SUV segment. – Joe Chulick

Iamgold Corp Stock Upgraded (IAG)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get full access to Jim Cramer's thoughts for less than $3/week - sometimes before he says them on TV! Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 14.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 18.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- IAG has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. To add to this, IAG has a quick ratio of 1.83, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 15243.67% to $52.70 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, IAMGOLD CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -26.34%.
- 50.00% is the gross profit margin for IAMGOLD CORP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of IAG's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 12.90% trails the industry average.

Its Pico in 1935 Chicago, the age of the Mafia. Darnell is the bartender while Nene is one of the entertainment girls. And the Uberkids mean business as usual.

Happy Birthday Tom Fulp

Bismarck hits 31 below around 9:30 Monday morning.
That's not wind chill, that's the actual temperature.
Subzero temps are always a hot topic of conversation, but according to one man who works outside for at least a six hour shift, the extreme cold is worse than it looks.
Sure you can see his breath as he delivers the mail, and his eyelashes are nearly frosted shut, but Dave Volk says it's all about dressing properly and being grateful the sun is shining and the wind isn't blowing.
"That's why I say it looks a lot worse than it is, you know my breath coming up, sticks to everything and kind of freezes over, every once in awhile you've got to take your glove and kind of wipe your eyes and stuff, but like I said, for the most part I'm warm, I'm not cold." says Dave Volk, mail carrier.
The coldest temperature reported in our viewing is negative 34 degrees in Hettinger.

Bake Sales Build Kids' Business Skills
Of course we all want the best for our kids. We encourage them to learn other languages, try different instruments, and play sports to stay active.
Chef Nikki Shaw: Well, here's a great way to let their creative juices flow and their entrepreneurial skills grow! Help your child take part in the next school bake sale.
First, make a list of all the recipe ingredients. Allow your child to search the store aisles for each item -- this will also familiarize them with having to do the family grocery shopping. Save the receipt to see the price of each item. Next, roughly estimate the cost of how much you really used. For example, if a dozen eggs cost $3.00 and you only used one egg for your cookie recipe, you only spent 25 cents on eggs.
Here comes the fun part: Get in the kitchen and create a masterpiece. Let them bake and individually wrap each tasty treat. Help your child give their product a reasonable price, then let them subtract the food cost to find the profit.
"NIK TIP": There's always a method to my madness! Enjoy the quality time that you'll be spending with your child -- this is priceless. Understand that there will be a mess -- just relax and let it be ALL ABOUT THEM.
In this bitter economy, I'll show you how to make life sweet right at home.
|Celebrity Chef Nikki Shaw is the owner of Flavor Caterer in Oakland, Ca. and was a finalist on the Food Network's "Next Food Network Star."

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Retinal scarring and abnormal growth of the blood vessels into the retina of the eye. The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eye. Think of it asthe photographic film of the mind. Images captured on the retina are sent to the brain for processing. The retina does not mature until close to term (40 weeks gestation). The blood supply grows into the retina from the optic nerve, during the second trimester. The optic nerve is near the center of the retina. The blood vessels grow out from the center to the edges of the eye, but they do not completely reach the far sides of the eye until close to term.
When babies are born very premature, the normal growth of blood vessels into the retina is altered. Instead of the normal, orderly growth of the blood vessels into the retina, a distinctline forms beyond which the blood vessels seem unable to pass at first. As the process progresses, blood vessels begin growing in an abnormal process that can eventually damage the retina and other structures in the eye. These abnormally growing vessels can eventually lead to disruption of the retina and loss of eye function.
Fortunately, severe ROP is unusual and mostly found in extremely premature infants. Routine exams for ROP will be given to premature infants at risk starting at about the 5th or 6th week after birth. If severe ROP does develop, there are treatments that can reduce or prevent the loss of vision.
