Three men are accused of killing a convicted drug dealer to "rid the world of evil" and cutting up his body so police couldn't easily identify him, authorities said Thursday.
The trio lured Daniel Delfin, 19, to the town of Walton with the ruse of buying drugs from him, beat him on the way to one location before driving him to a field, where he was beaten again and strangled, Boone County Sheriff's Department spokesman Tom Scheben said. The men used a machete and possibly a saw to dismember Deflin, police said, and his torso and legs were found in the field. His other parts were likely thrown in a trash bin, authorities said.
Delfin had been arrested in May for trafficking heroin near Walton-Verona High School and was later convicted. He was on probation at the time of his death, Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force official Bill Mark said.
Scheduled to appear in court Thursday for a preliminary hearing were Jeffrey W. Allen of Verona, 21; Anthony D. Baumgartner of Florence, 23; and Stephen E. Harkness, 22, of Verona. The three are charged with murder, kidnapping, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. A call to the public defender's office in Boone County wasn't immediately returned.
Scheben said the men told authorities they killed Delfin because "they wanted to rid the world of evil." He wasn't sure exactly what they meant.
Delfin was reported missing Sunday by his sister, but police think he was killed several days earlier on Jan. 9. His torso and legs were discovered Monday in the field near where Allen lived with his mother, just across the river from Cincinnati.
During the search for Delfin, detectives received a tip that the three men were involved in his death. After the arrests, one of the three was "a little more" talkative, Scheben said.
"But then they started adding to it," Scheben said.
After being told that some of the parts had been taken to a trash bin, deputies searched the Rumpke Landfill in Pendleton County hoping to find more remains. Nothing was found, however, and detectives do not plan to return to the landfill because they have already made positive identification, Scheben said.
Delfin's family could not be reached for comment.
Police believe the three men removed the head, hands and feet to delay or prevent identification of the remains.
Along with the heroin trafficking conviction, Delfin had five other convictions for marijuana possession on his record.
In January 2012, he was also convicted of theft from an auto and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail.
Baumgartner was charged in March 2007 with first-degree possession of cocaine, possession of another drug which was not specified and possession of drug paraphernalia, The Kentucky Enquirer reported. One of the drug possession charges and the paraphernalia charge were dismissed.
In March 2009, Baumgartner pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking in Kenton County and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and two years of probation.
Also in 2009, he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in Campbell County; that charge was later dismissed.
The paper reported that neither Allen nor Harkness had criminal records.

This premier extract is Potency Assured™ to a minimum of 30% pungent compounds, and also contains at least 8% zingiberene, an important and active component of the essential oil of ginger. Because this is a full-spectrum extract, it contains hundreds of naturally occurring beneficial ingredients not similarly present in other extracts.
Leading phytochemical databases maintained by the USDA and a major U.S. university identify multiple constituents in Ginger Force® as modulating the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme. Recent scientific studies, including one published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that 5-lipoxygenase modulation may serve an important role in supporting normal cell growth and activity in a number of the body's organ systems. Scientific research further supports Ginger Force® as an effective prostaglandin modulator. Ginger Force® promotes fat-digesting bile and starch-digesting saliva. The active ingredients of Ginger Force® promote the growth of beneficial intestinal microorganisms, which are vital for intestinal health.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - An 81-year-old Madison man who killed his wife in 1990 is now accused of stalking an ex-girlfriend.
Habib Amim was charged Tuesday with felony stalking. He was jailed on a $10,000 bond. A preliminary hearing was set for next Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court.
Amim pleaded no contest in 1990 to second-degree murder for the beating death of his 44-year-old wife Bonnie in their former apartment. He was paroled in 2002 after serving 12 years in prison for the crime.
Prosecutors said an ex-girlfriend broke up with him seven years ago after learning about his past.
Officials said he later drove past the woman's home repeatedly, and followed her while he was driving.

WHY WINE: Joeshico wine review; Buttonwood Grove 'dry' Riesling
In mid 2007, six Rieslings from the Finger Lakes were tasted blind against six of some the world's best Rieslings at a trade and media event in New York City. Joshua Greene, the editor and publisher of Wine and Spirits magazine, said, "Dry Riesling wine from New York's Finger Lakes clearly belongs in the constellation of world-class Rieslings. Slate and well-drained glaciated vineyard sites show terroir and descriptive characters with exceptional value."
In 2008, I also gave in to my reds only attitude and took the wife on a Cayuga Wine Trail outing.
To my surprise I really enjoyed many of the dry Rieslings we tried that day, and since, they have become my wine of choice during the summer months.
Although they were all enjoyable, my favorite came from the Buttonwood Grove Winery.
Aromas of pear, citrus and a bit of damp soil made for a unique nose, probably more so because I was a red wine only drinker. That citrus and fruit aroma stayed nicely on the tongue and the wine had a refreshing citrus like finish.
I now drink many whites, especially in the summer and the Buttonwood Grove Winery dry Riesling is always in my rack and opened for almost any occasion or food. The wine pairs well with summer salads and I enjoy it with BBQ Chicken.
Locally in Central New York it is found at about $15.
Joeshico rating: 85/86.
Take it from a novice: "Great Buy"

Great review! I love a good DRY Riesling in the summer. Cheers!

Dry Rieslings can be a great surprise to anyone who is not familiar with them. The complexity and acidity Riesling offers is capable of making some of the best white wine in the world. Unlike Germany, Austria makes mostly dry Riesling that is to die for.
I have heard of those coming out of the Finger Lakes Region but have yet to taste them. Not many make it to the west coast.
It is a hard varietal to beat when pairing with food.

In Mackenzie Phillips' book that hits bookstores on Wednesday, the former child-star reveals that her dad, musician John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, engaged with her in a long-term sexual relationship. Read more for details on Mackenzie Phillips' dark secret below.
Mackenzie Phillips, 49, who has battled drug addiction for much of her life, wrote that she was on the TV sitcom "One Day at a Time" when her father John had sex with her on the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler (a member of the Rolling Stones entourage).
"On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," writes Phillips, who was 19 and a big-time drug user at the time. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed."
"My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.
"Had this happened before? I didn't know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout."
Phillips' life began to go downhill quickly. In 1980, she was fired from One Day at a Time because of her serious drug use. That year she went into rehab with her father. Mackenzie even toured with him in a band called the New Mamas and the Papas. During that time her sexual relationship with her father became consensual.
"I was a fragment of a person, and my secret isolated me," she writes.
"One night Dad said, 'We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice. Maybe Fiji.'
"He was completely delusional. No, I thought, we're going to hell for this."
Mackenzie will make an appearance on Oprah this Wednesday.
Wow! What do you guys think of Mackenzie's big secret?

Flowery Branch — Falcons middle linebacker Curtis Lofton was tied for sixth in the league in tackles with 133 last season, according to NFL.com stats.
Only three middle linebackers – Washington's London Fletcher (142), Tampa Bay's Barrett Ruud (142) and Carolina's Jon Beason (141) — had more tackles.
He played a major role in the Falcons finishing 10th against the run last season.
While he got snubbed by Pro Bowl voters, Lofton's hometown of Kingfisher, Oklahoma did not. They retired his jersey this offseason.
After a recent minicamp practice, Lofton told about the retirement ceremony and about how the Falcons plan to have a top 10 overall defense in 2010.
Here's the Q&A:
Q: What was it like to have your jersey retired by your high school?
A: It was really an honor to have the town of Kingfisher retire my jersey. It was an amazing feeling with all of the hard work I put in. It just goes to show you that my town cares.
Q: What was the ceremony like?
A: It was at one of the basketball games. The gym was filled. I arrived about 45 minutes early and signed a couple of autographs. All of my family was there. They had my high school, my college and Falcons' jerseys all together. It was awesome. It's tough to put into words how I felt that night.
Q: What's been your mindset on improving this offseason?
A: I watched a lot of film of myself this offseason. There were a couple of things that stuck out to me. I've just been working this offseason to get better in those areas of my game.
Q: What was working for you all last season with stopping the run?
A: I would say that the No. 1 thing was attitude. Nobody was going to come in and run the ball against us no matter where we were at. If we didn't do anything, we were going to stop the run. Now, we have to carry that into not letting them catch the ball on third down. We have to get off the field and make some plays. I think we're going to be a top 10 defense.
Q: What are the keys to make sure you all get there?
A: I would say, of course, No. 1 is stopping the run. No. 2 is affecting the quarterback. No. 3 is getting takeaways and BDs, ball disruptions.
Q: You started off getting a lot of takeaways, how do you get more consistent in that area?
A: Just working on it in practice. If you don't do it in practice, you're not going to do it in the game. We just have to keep doing it, staying focused and put more emphasis on it.
Q: How has first round pick Sean Weatherspoon been looking for you all?
A: Spoon has been looking good. He's a smart guy. As a rookie coming in I really feel like he's starting to get a grasp on things. He has a lot of energy to him and that's what you like to see. That's great for a rookie. He's going to be a good player.

The man is a beast, his football intelligence is off the screen, and he will continue to grow in his leadership role and compel his teammates to do the same.
Another prototypical TD draft pick, someone we can base our future on.

We are building a solid and hungry defense!
May 17th, 2010
8:31 am
We have every reason to feel good about the defense for the 2010 campaign. 28th against the pass leaves plenty of room for improvement but the Falcons brass has done an excellent job addressing those deficiencies. If you want a barometer the Redskins finished 10th in defense last season. If we can stay relative healthy no reason this team can't advance deep into the playoffs or even the Superbowl.

I like it. Last year was very frustrating watching all the 3rd down completions they gave up. If they can stop half of those they are probably a 12 win team. GO FALCONS!

Our LBs were exposed on third downs last year…getting matched up against RBs and TEs. Nicholas and Lofton can't cover these guys. It's imperative we get Spoon in the games on 3rd downs this year if we are to improve.

Curiously, in a supposed anti-incumbent year, most of the departing are not retiring but seeking higher office. We may recycle more than we replace. The bad news is that a frustrating 114 seats still have but one contestant. Two of them aren't even incumbents, meaning they will affect state policy without being vetted by voters. And I have to think that we'd be better off if many had run instead for the Legislature — and cut down on the number running unopposed. Georgia's problems are numerous. They aren't going away. There's too much stale thinking at the Capitol, on both sides of the aisle. New voices would be welcome.

Dled, Great stuff on Lofton. TD and MS has done a terrific JOB of assembling talent…we should be able challenge anybody now.
I agree with the other bloggers comment on Lofton… he is a beast…he also has a high football IQ.
He was talking about stopping the run…that reminded of the game they went the NY to play the Jets late in the season…they shut their vaulted offense down. The Falcon defense showed a lot of heart in that game. Can't wait to see Spoon get a chance to line up alone side Lofton…it's gone be GREAT!!

What a difference a year makes. Let us reflect. Last year this time we were all bemoaning the defense (except for the die-hard fans, like me). We were enraptured by the season that Matt Ryan and Mike Turner had.
Now just 1 year later, it is all about the defense. Could it be possible that the Falcons have leadership (TD, MS) that know what they are doing. Could this be the beginning of a "Dynasty."
Prediction: Watch Rafael Bush and remember Ronnie Lott. Oooooh, It's gonna be goooood.
Go Falcons!!!

Is Curtis going to try playing a little center this year too? Is it just me or does he look a litte round in that picture? I love his play and he is a great middle LB. I am not sure he is doing all of that crazy training stuff they have him doing on those "rise up" radio comercials.
May 17th, 2010
10:52 am
Always liked Lofton and his play. Hes going to be a great falcon for many years!! He is only going to get better, remember hes still young and played well as a rookie. Lets hope he can train Spoon the way Petersen trained Lofton.

Spoon is "smart" – the theme this year.
May 17th, 2010
12:15 pm
I disagree with Mr. Loftin – the key to defense is harassing the QB, then stuffing the run. If you are consistently harassing the QB, then you have guys in the backfield, and many times, if you are creating chaos for the QB, the O line also lets you stuff the RB in the backfield. That, and tipping passes in the flat – get them big arms up! Should be a good year. Ryan needs to throw for 4000 yards, 35 TD and less than 10 ints. Go Falcons!
May 17th, 2010

man, that girl in the red dress is a hottie!!!

What I like most about this team is the depth we are building. This has got to mean sooo much to a team where you can keep some starters rested and loose very little in efficiency, and remember just because we have some lineman going to FA next year doesn't mean we can't sign them if we want to keep them.
We have a good backup QB, now we know we have a good backup RB in Snelling. We will have more depth on OL. WR has Douglas back and a couple of good ones in the draft. Keep TG healthy. On defense, through the draft and getting injured players back, we have depth at DT, Bier and Sid have more experience. Spoon will be a great addition with the LB's. Robinson at CB and Williams off IR with Owens and Grimes making great strides last year. Three good safties competing for the 2 starting jobs. Sounds pretty good. Just hope we don't have near the injuries we had last year.
I'll bet we beat NO twice this year.
I'll be watching on the Directv football package from Durham, NC and hope to get to a game or two.
Wish I could see the pre-season games like I used to while living in Gainesville.

Lol bout not catching the games. I used to drive up from Macon when I lived there & rent a motel room to catch the games on local tv when there were blackouts in the bad seasons. 4-12 or 12-4 i'm there birds….all the way. Need more explosive plays Lofton….you are definately good….now it's time to be great. Get a pick or two, how bout some sacks or forced fumbles. Tell ya what Curtis, i'll settle for a Drew Brees/Reggie Bush Concussion…..either will do…..we'll still love ya if not but give it a shot…..for us.

Maybe this year you can keep the Panthers from ringing up over 300 yards on the ground against you!
Good luck Falcons, except when you play Carolina!

As noted on Shore Country Day School's web site, their "Lower School children are naturally joyful and curious, and the Shore experience plays off these innate characteristics. In Shore's Lower School, children are given the time and space to be young children. Each child has the opportunity to grow at a developmentally appropriate pace, becoming a distinctive person while learning the skills to be a productive member of the community. In doing so, Shore students develop strong basic skills, the ability to work with others, a positive attitude about school, and the motivation and confidence needed to accomplish great things."
While expanding the structure of the Lower School with Olson Lewis + Architects, Shore took the opportunity to recreate their existing playground with UBLA. The intent is to include the design of natural and structured play spaces in the vicinity of the existing playground, including the area known as the "Third Grade Field" and incorporate the paved emergency access path into the permanent design.
At it's very best, nature play isn't scheduled, planned, or led by adults, nor is it confined by grown-ups' rules. Instead, it's open-ended, free-time exploration and recreation, without close adult supervision. For many of us, this sort of nature play virtually defined our childhoods. – Green Hearts, Inc.
Based upon the Lower School master plan provided by the Client, UBLA collaborated with the Playground Task Force on the design of an engaging, innovative, safe playground focusing on nature play and creative play features built of sustainable materials. The team explored using natural and sustainable materials such as landform, wood, wood structures, and stone integrated with traditional play structures such as swings, slides, and basketball. The proposed playground provides opportunities for climbing, digging, and free play while being sensitive to the need for shade, adult visibility, and budget.
Key to the programming of the proposed spaces is an understanding of the level of interaction between the students and grounds. A review of existing conditions and how students and faculty currently engage this area, and how they desire to, was aided by site visits during recess times for observation. With a student group ranging from Pre-K/Readiness to fifth grade – and up to 200 students using the space at noon recess – play elements must be safe all ages but provide a bit of challenge for all levels. There is also a clear desire to maintain and expand upon popular elements such as the swings and playhouse, and include a "signature" piece every child will remember into adulthood.
Components were grouped so that a central paved space and "trike track" can be cleared of snow in winter for basketball, foursquare, and other recess games. This concept also allows Readiness students free play spaces including the sand pit and playhouse village adjacent to the classrooms. Taking advantage of the stockpile created by the building expansion, a berm will separate the play area from the Third Grade Field.
This berm will feature the new 9-ft height embankment slide and rolling hill, and provide a platform for the Columbia Cascade Clatter Bridge assembly with follow/chase and fitness activities. This two level hill allows faculty supervision of all areas of the playground and Third Grade Field will provide a natural boundary for younger students, as well as many opportunities for 'free play'.
For long-term maintenance and sustainability, structures manufactured of steel and recycled plastic were selected. Playing off the existing (and very popular!) natural boulders on site, the playground will be edged with cut tree trunks and boulders. These elements provide seating and climbing opportunities, as well as plenty of nooks and crannies for exploration. Trunks will also be used to create a performance space adjacent to the Lower School Building.
Final pricing and material detailing are wrapping up this month, with construction scheduled for Summer 2013. UBLA will continue to work with the School's Playground Task Force, Prime1 Landscaping, and JPLaRue throughout the construction process to insure that this exciting installation is completed for start of school.

There are no 2013 Volkswagen GTI reviews. However, the following might be helpful:
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Good all-around combination of sporty handling, luxury, and economy by Steve H, Islamorada FL on 03/16/2013. Trim: 2013 Volkswagen GTI 2-door Autobahn, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I have the autobahn edition, which comes with 19" wheels. I love the acceleration and it corners like it's on rails. I commute 50 miles each way on a stretch of mainly 2 lane, speed limit goes between 45 to 55 and not a lot of stoplights. So most of my miles are highway but at relatively low speeds. I'm very happy to report that I'm getting 34 mpg! Also, the Xenon headlights are awesome. (I'm not so sure the oncoming traffic feels the same way.)
Cons: Lack of storage space in the front seats. The center console has about enough room for a pack of cigarettes. The Nav system is decent, but not great. Same for the "premium" Dynaudio sound system. Yeah, it can play loud, and you can get a lot of clean bass if that's your thing. But it's not as refined as a good Bose or JBL system that has been tuned for a specific car.
Overall review: I've had quicker, better handling cars (Porsche 911), more luxurious cars (Acura Legend), and more economical cars (VW Beetle), but this is a very good blend of the best features of each. I have a fairly long commute and need something reliable and economical, but didn't want to sacrifice handling or luxury to get there. I think I've found exactly what I was looking for. I would buy it again.

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
Facebook Gets Personal (And So Should Your Email Campaign!)
Consumers spend more of their online time on Facebook than on any other website. Social networking has always been personal and scheduled changes to Facebook profiles take the narcissistic focus to a whole new level. Profiles will turn into Timelines that chart a user's lifetime achievements and milestones all the way back to their birth. It's a new depth of personal.
Your customers already spend a lot of time on personalized social networking sites. And people trust recommendations from people over brands. What does this mean for your marketing? Well, the more personal you can make your brand, the better your email marketing campaign will resonate with your subscribers.
Personality is important, especially with the rise of mailbox filters and Hotmail's new features that separate "graymail" from personal mail. How can you make the connection for subscribers to prioritize your messages?
We have two different approaches you might want to consider.
Connecting With People
One approach to making a personal connection in the inbox is to get interesting. That means getting interested in your subscribers and their likes and dislikes.
Seth Godin gives this advice for marketing to today's more self-focused consumer: To be interesting you have to be interested. "It turns out that the best way to appear interesting to someone who cares a lot about himself is to be interested."
Get to know your subscribers before you market to them. If email marketing is about the relationship, that relationship starts when your subscribers realize you're interested in them, too. A recent Forbes article puts it this way:
"In addition to sharing your latest content and linking to info on your most recent event, have conversations. Don't spam everyone with an automatic feed of your blog, or repeated entreaties to Please buy my latest product! Instead, engage actively with the community."
That means getting to know your subscribers and letting them get to know you, too. The more you get to know your subscribers' interests, the more interesting your brand becomes. And the more you know about your customers, the more you can connect with them on a personal level.
But that's just one side of the coin. What about making your brand a person itself?
Presenting Your Brand As A Person
People use social networks – and to a large extent, email too – to connect with other people online. And when it comes to buying decisions, "people like buying from people." That's what often makes social proof tactics so effective – people want to hear from other people what makes a brand, product or mailing list so great.
The flip side to getting personal is creating a brand personality. Personality gives your brand credibility. Your company isn't some abstract entity, it's made up of people with likes and dislikes, interests and goals. Giving your brand personality means drawing out the human aspect.
So what does a human brand look like? It's all in the personality, which is all in the presentation. No Man Is An Iland defines it simply as "anything that distinguishes [your] email from the mediocre." Using a human tone in your emails can lift your messages from ordinary sales pitch to personal conversation.
I like this email from Modcloth, an online retailer. Their subject line draws me in like a juicy tip from a best friend:
Unlike the following blog broadcast, which is thin on both information and personality:
Another take-away from this example: Stay away from using a "noreply@" address like the brand above if you're trying to establish personality. (This dentist also uses "noreply" as his From name – an even bigger no-no!) Real people have real email addresses. Using a do-not-rely address hurts your brand's credibility when you're trying to make a human connection.
The main points to focus on here are to keep your brand approachable and focus on the people who make up your brand. Include tips or personal insights from your employees for a personal touch, and talk to your subscribers like you're a person, too.
What's Your Brand Personality?
Which approach do you take when it comes to getting personal?
Do you make a connection by focusing on your subscribers or do you make your brand sound human? Maybe a mix of both?
What kind of personality techniques have worked for you?

Stallings editor in chef-Signpost More than 400 participants attended Weber State University's Fourth-annual Health Conference Friday and were told many strategies to help them 'Play the Game of their Life.' One of the highlights of the conference was . hearing Dr. Ralph Golan of Seattle speak on how to achieve optimal wellness. Audience members also heard from keynote addresses from Craig Bolerjack, a sportscaster from KSL-TV, who answered questions from the audience concerning the impact sports has on society, and Carole Mikita, anchorwoman for KSL-TV, who spoke of her brother's personal story in overcoming his disability and achieving true optimal wellness. Mikita filled in for CBS anchor Dick Nourse, who was in Vietnam, but sent a previously recorded message. Golan, a nationally recognized expert on holistic medicine and author of "Optimal Wellness," told audience members health is far more than the lack of disease it's optimal wellness. He also told them what they could expect from modern medicine and it isn't health. . ' "You won't find health from a doctor. You'll receive a diagnosis. You'll receive treatment. But you won't find health," Golan said. "Mod ern medicine cleans up the mess, rescuing you when it gets bad, but it doesn't take you off the medical roller coasters." He said most people haven't achieved optimal health because of food allergies, which can cause common complaints, such as headaches, fatigue, depression, acne and digestive problems.Golan said blood tests can be done to identify food allergies, but the last person to go see . about them is an allergist. He said most medical doctors don't believe in food allergies, therefore, they don't test as extensively as needed, but if you are detected with a food allergy, believe the doctor. Golan then talked about how there are different types of people who have the metabolism to be a vegetarian. He said people with Type O blood are typically allergic to milk products and do well with red meat, so they are not good vegetarians. People with Type A blood do well with fish and not red meat, so they are better vegetarians. Taking vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene and selenium on a daily basis, and obeying what he calls the laws of nature will help in achieving optimal wellness.

Fielding managing editor-Signpost By Darcie Lee Everts news writer-Signpost Weber State police officers partially evacuated the student services building April 29 after pepper spray was released near a ventilator, causing students in the testing center to complain about burning eyes and respiratory distress. "We could hear people coughing. Pretty soon in turned into choking, and then it became too much," said LeeAnn Mortensen, a staff member at the testing center. "We even had some students vomiting. Everyone's reaction was different." When Weber State Police Corporal Dane LeBlanc and Officer Robin Helton arrived, people were exiting the building, complaining of a strange odor that was causing their throats and chests to hurt, LeBlanc said. Once they had entered the building, Officer Helton was coughing and sneezing, although he (LeBlanc) remained unaffected. LeBlanc and Helton arrived at the testing center to find several people coughing with watering eyes and respiratory problems while others were incapacitated, including people vomiting, a pregnant woman who was breaking out in a rash, and a woman with a heart condition whose heart rate was extremely high, LeBlanc said.

Christensen campus affairs editor-Signpost Carl Grunander, sales and service technology professor, has a message for students moving to a semester system will benefit students. He lists advantages such as the opportunity for more in-depth study, decreased textbook cost and flexibility. According to Grunander. extensive study of topics is the primary benefit of moving to the semester system. He added textbooks will be more effective on the semester system. "You can devote more time to the topics. Most textbooks are geared for semesters. It will lessen textbook costs for students," Grunander said. Duane Johnson, WSU junior, agrees with Grunander. He asserts students will learn more in semester classes, because the material will be covered more the way it was designed to be. "The most positive thing about it (semesters) is there is more time to learn about the subject in the course you are taking," Johnson said. "There is more time for one-on-one conversations with the instructors." Some students disagree with Johnson, saying they can learn by taking more specialized classes for a broader range of knowledge than fewer in-depth classes. Johnson said he has spoke with many people who don't feel they are learning what they need to be in school under the quarter system. "I believe if there is the extra time, they can actually get in depth with it and learn more about the course and the subject. You have a lot more time to learn what you need to." Johnson said.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

There was a series of events while applying to schools that ended with me coming here on a whim for the last preview of the summer. It turned out to be a perfect fit. In its own way, Mount Union chose me.
- Ryan Donaldson '15
- Hometown: North Canton, Ohio
- Major: Medical Technology
Art Learning Objectives
At Mount Union, students who major in art will have the opportunity to hone their skills and broaden their artistic abilities. The art program at the University fosters the artistic growth and maturity of its students by engaging in fundamental principles of visual art and design in a variety of art media.
A major in art will provide an excellent basis for further study leading to a career in fine or applied art, or for an advanced degree leading to teaching. The department has initiated a program that meets the requirements for a multi-age teaching license.
The art major is a two-stage program involving freshman-sophomore foundation courses and junior-senior advanced study. The foundation courses deal with the fundamental theory and studio skills which provide the broad base from which any artist functions. In the junior-senior advanced studio courses, the student uses the theory and skills learned in the foundation sequence to develop a personal creative approach which can function both as a method of inquiry and as a vocabulary for the communication of humanistic ideas. A thorough general study of the history of art is offered as an important part of the art major.
The Department of Art is committed to the following goals: 1) To provide a sound technical, theoretical, and historical foundation for the student majoring in art; 2) To provide an environment in which the student can function as an independent, creative individual; 3) To serve the student body of a liberal arts institution.
Art Learning Objectives:
- The student will demonstrate a facility in design theory as the foundation for further growth in specific media.
- The student will demonstrate proficiency in employing art theories in discussions, critiques and written assignments.
- he students will be able to use any media to communicate their interpretation of a subject through solid theory and technical development.
- The student will demonstrate the ability to integrate the streams of theory, practice and communication in the Senior Culminating Experience.

Gulen-Inspired Schools; There is no consensus among writers on what to call the Gülen-inspired institutions; this is as true for American lawyers as it is for Turkish correspondents of all political colors. The use of terms like "Gülen schools" can arise from ignorance or disinformation. If the term "Gülen schools" is equated with, for example, Montessori schools (where a particular training and qualifications are required for personnel and a specific methodology is used), it leads to misunderstanding.Gülen movement participants have their own perspectives on terms used for the movement and the social movement organizations (SMOs) it has inspired. However, many outsiders seem oblivious to these perspectives or choose to ignore them
Because of its brevity, outsiders tend to use "Gülen schools" rather than "Gülen-inspired schools." But the shorter term seems to imply some sort of central control of activities and even an ideology, while the second makes it clearer that there is no centralization in the movement. Gülen movement participants tend to use the Turkish term hizmet (volunteer services) for the projects and services they provide. This is a solution for the inconsistency in naming the Gülen movement and the institutions it inspires and in clarifying their identity for outside observers.

Criminal charges filed against the Morgans
Date: August 27, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
More than a month after they failed to appear for a federal court hearing, the U.S. Attorney's Office has filed criminal charges against John and Marian Morgan, the Sarasota couple accused of running an international Ponzi scheme.
The couple is currently jailed in Sri Lanka for trying to pass a bad check worth $1.6 million in that country.
The U.S. Attorney's office has begun the extradition process.
The Morgans allegedly bilked investors out of at least $10 million and used the money to pay their mortgages. In Sarasota alone, the couple owns three waterfront properties, each valued in the millions.
During a June 25 court hearing, a federal judge in Tampa ordered the couple to halt investments through their company, Morgan European Holdings, which has offices in Sarasota and Denmark. But just days later, Marian Morgan sent an e-mail to investors telling them that they would be seeing their money soon, that it was safe and out of the jurisdiction of U.S. authorities. She also stated that the couple had "high tailed it out of Tampa and flew back overnight to Europe," where they could not be served legal papers.
Because they continued to work on their alleged investment scheme, the judge ordered them back to court July 16 to face possible contempt charges. But the Morgans did not appear in court and an arrest warrant was issued.
A month later, the couple was arrested in Sri Lanka.
Steve Cole, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa, said there is no timetable as to when the Morgans may be brought back to the United States to face charges.
"It can be a lengthy process," he said.

Why Amazon bought Diapers.com
The tech-savvy retailer goes back to basics by buying a company specializing in soap and diapers.
Plenty. Because for all the talk about new technologies, Amazon still has an important business selling staples to families. And a company that uses computer algorithms to stock warehouses and distribute diapers will melt Jeff Bezos' heart any day of the week.
Amazon spent $540 million in cash to buy Quidsi, who owns the Diapers.com and Soap.com operations. That's about $200 million more than what Quidsi was previously valued at, Fortune reports.
Amazon shares were up just slightly Monday after the buyout was confirmed. Here's what others are saying about the acquisition and why it's important to Amazon's business:
Sales. Quidsi reported $180 million in revenue last year, and said that would grow to $300 million this year, The Wall Street Journal reports. Post continues after video:
Hooking the buyer. While $300 million in sales is just a drop in the bucket, these sales are recurring -- a big deal to Amazon. The company wants repeat buyers, and has aggressively pushed its subscription program for coffee and other staples. Diapers are a perfect product for long-lasting, predictable and repeating sales.
Grabbing women buyers. Women are the household decision-makers, and Amazon is courting them. The company launched a new program this year called Amazon Mom, which sells discounted diapers and wipes with free two-day shipping.
Beating Wal-Mart (WMT). Wal-Mart was reportedly also interested in Diapers.com. One more way for Amazon to knock out a competitor.
Fortune describes Quidsi as "a rapidly growing company with a devoted base of customers that has figured out how to warehouse and ship commodity items quickly and profitably." If that's the case, Diapers.com should fit nicely into the retail base Amazon is building.
The deal has some similarities to Amazon's purchase of Zappos.com, a shoe company the company bought for $1.1 billion in 2009.

September 24, 2003
In 2002, a total of 5,524 fatal work injuries were recorded; 2,695—about 49 percent—of these workplace fatalities were classified as highway incidents, homicides, or falls.
Fatal highway incidents were down 3 percent from 2001, but continued to be the most frequent type of fatal workplace event. Other types of fatal transportation events also declined, including aircraft incidents (down 22 percent) and workers struck by vehicle or mobile equipment (down 7 percent). Overall, fatal work injuries from transportation incidents declined for the fourth year in a row.
Workplace homicides were down about 5 percent in 2002, from 643 in 2001 to 609 in 2002. The number of workplace homicides in 2002 was the lowest recorded in the fatality census and represented a 44 percent decline from the high of 1,080 workplace homicides recorded in 1994. Workplace suicides also were down in 2002. (The homicide count for 2001 excludes the work-related fatalities that resulted from the terrorist attacks on September 11. These have been tabulated separately.)
Fatalities resulting from falls declined for the first time since 1998, from 810 in 2001 to 714 in 2002, a drop of 12 percent. Almost all types of fatal falls declined in 2002, though falls from ladders and falls from nonmoving vehicles increased slightly.
These data come from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, part of the BLS Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program. Additional information is available from "National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2002" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-488.

The start of the school year can be a little scary for college-bound freshman. Many are away from home and on their own for the first time, and most have to learn to live with a total stranger -- but schools have strategies for successful pairings.
"I was scared to meet [my roommate," admitted Zoe Barr, a freshman at St. Catherine University. "Unsure if she was how she says she was."
Finding a good fit with a first-year roommate can be the difference between getting college life off to a great start and a frustrating freshman year. Colleges and Universities know that roommate pairings are vital, and they take their housing assignments seriously.
So how do schools successfully pair students who often come from vastly different backgrounds? The answer depend o n the campus, but at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, each of the 400 incoming young women has the opportunity to choose their own roommate.
"What we really wanted to do was: Give students a little more control in that experience," explained Heidi Anderson-Isaacson. "Students kind of go through … an online dating program."
The university developed its own web-based program that allows incoming first-year students to enter in information about themselves -- like whether or not they keep a clean room or like to study late. At first, the names are kept private but the system will eventually spit out some potentially-compatible matches. Next, the college-bound students can choose who to connect with.
There's a much different policy in place at St. Olaf.
"We don't let kids pick their own roommates," explained Greg Kneser.
Instead, the incoming class of 860 was asked to answer housing questionnaires so administrators can use a set of guidelines to make the matches. Some of those guidelines include:
"We found out the hockey kid will find the hockey kid. The bassoon player will find the tuba player, but they won't always find each other," explained Kneser. "You put them together, and it opens up a whole new world for another kid."
For a big school like the University of Minnesota, about 15 to 20 percent of incoming students request a specific roommate, like a classmate from high school or a friend. The rest are paired by a software program that analyzes answers from housing questionnaires.
Experts recommend being honest about filling out those forms even if there are things you don't' want to admit because it may help you find a better match.

Hot Mama: Being Comfortable in Your Pregnant Skin
A State of Calm
The emotional changes a woman experiences while pregnant may, in fact, cause her the most discomfort—both directly and indirectly. The stress that may be experienced due to negotiating the upcoming lifestyle changes or deciding which stroller to purchase is often managed differently by a woman with extra hormones floating around. Notes Warhus, "It stands to reason that as your body goes through significant changes during pregnancy, so do your emotions. It's quite common to have a mixture of feelings that may range from euphoria to fear to sadness."
Warhus has spent many years reassuring her own patients that emotional stress does not seem to have a definite negative effect on pregnancy outcomes. "Still," she warns, "stress may have effects on you and your baby that medical science does not completely understand." For example, stress can lead to an elevated heart rate or elevated stress hormones, and a fetus may very well "feel" these changes within your body.
Mindful exercises such as yoga or meditation can be beneficial not only during these nine months, but at any point in your life when you are feeling more anxious than usual. Some days, calming music and a good book (that has nothing to do with parenthood) can make for a more relaxing afternoon than navigating the aisles of Babies "R" Us again in search of the perfect pacifier. And last, but certainly not least, a good maternity massage never hurt anyone!
Fringe Benefits
Store clerks' eyes will bulge if they believe there's even a remote possibility that you'll deliver in Aisle 9 between the pickles and the potato chips. One of the best things about being obviously pregnant is that you will likely be allowed, implored perhaps, to cut in line at the grocery store, the home improvement store—the Department of Motor Vehicles even. (Certainly, data has been collected which proves that the best time to renew your driver's license is somewhere between the seven-month mark and the timeframe during which your water might break while in line.) Typically, the more uncomfortable you look, the better your chances. So, this might be a good time to breathe a bit more loudly than normal, or push your hands into the small of your back and emit a low groan. But there's still no reason not to be wearing a cute outfit.
What truly matters most is each pregnant woman's perception of herself during this amazing time. Each change that your body undergoes is its own response to the miracle growing inside you. Regardless of one's preconceptions of what makes a beautiful pregnant body, the fact is everyone's pregnancy and pregnant shape is unique. These nine months are a time to be celebrated. So lather on a great-smelling body cream, don a fabulous outfit, grab a bottle of water, and let the whole world hear you roar.

2G case: Delhi court summons Sunil Mittal, others
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday summoned as accused chairman-cum-Managing Director of Bharti Cellular Ltd Sunil Bharti Mittal, Essar Group promoter Ravi Ruia and five others in a case relating to alleged irregularities in allocation of additional spectrum to Airtel and Vodafone during the NDA regime. Besides Mittal and Ruia, the court issued summons against Asim Ghosh, who was the then Managing Director of accused firm Hutchison Max Telecom Pvt Ltd and former telecom secretary Shyamal Ghosh for April 11.
The CBI in its chargesheet had only named Shyamal Ghosh and three telecom firms Bharti Cellular Ltd, Hutchison Max Telecom Pvt Ltd (now known as Vodafone India Ltd) and Sterling Cellular Ltd (now known as Vodafone Mobile Service Ltd), but Mittal, Ruia and Asim Ghosh were not arrayed as accused in the case by the agency.
Special CBI Judge OP Saini issued summons against Mittal, Ruia, who was then a director in Sterling Cellular Ltd, and Asim Ghosh saying they were "prima facie in control of affairs of the respective companies".
"I also find that at the relevant time, Sunil Bharti Mittal was chairman-cum-Managing Director of Bharti Cellular Ltd, Asim Ghosh was Managing Director of Hutchison Max Telecom Pvt Ltd and Ravi Ruia was a Director in Sterling Cellular Ltd, who used to chair the meetings of its board. In that capacity they were/are prima facie in control of affairs of the respective companies.

The Canyons Golf Vacation Rentals(184)

Recent The Canyons Reviews
As described, good value property
My family (2 adults, 3 boys aged 5-10) enjoyed 3 nights at this property. The shuttle service to bring you to the Sundial lodge entry to Canyons was very convenient. As a ski resort, Canyons was terrific. I wish the town/village area had more to do as compared to places like Park City. The unit was as described. It was clean, organized, and functional for our family. The only negative (and it is out of control of the owners of the unit) was that when the people in the unit above us flushed their toilet, we could hear the water running through the pipes in the building. Having said that, for the price of this unit and the convenience and friendliness of the staff at Silverado, I think it is a good value.
Worth every penny
This was a great condo. Easy proximity to lifts, ski school, restaurant, store, pool.....everything is walking distance, an easy walking distance. Couldn't be more convenient! Condo was very nicely furnished and had all bells and whistles of a hotel room so you don't have to worry about buying everything- paper products, tissues, laundry detergent etc. Nice fireplace and easy to use wifi, smart tv. Owner very easy to work with and quick to respond to emails! Staff at Sundial and Canyons are so nice. Other resorts just don't compare to their friendly and helpful attitude. We had a great vacation! Thanks!
Great place to stay
This place was a fantastic vacation rental. Overall we just had a fantastic experience. Everything was very clean and plenty of room. The whole experience was just very straightforward and pleasant.

Graves Yamaha's Bill Dixon Wins Laguna XDL
By FTR on July 30, 2011 9:32 PM
2011 XDL Freestyle Sportbike
Graves Stunt Rider Bill Dixon had his work cut out for him going into Round 4 of the XDL Championship Series in Monterey, Calif. on July 22-23.
In addition to his XDL competition duties, Dixon also had four stunt shows to perform at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. To make things even more interesting, Dixon had to drive a massive 40 hours from a show in Pennsylvania to Monterey. Probably not the best way to prep for a competition!
Ahead by nine points in the FMF Cup but trailing by four points overall going into Round 4, Dixon was more determined than ever to win at Monterey. A win at Monterey and Indy's Round 5 would mean becoming the first ever three-time national champion.
As the world's top freestyle riders descended on Monterey for the six different XDL classes, Dixon feared his intense concentration on the dangerous and pressure-filled task at hand would be compromised by his stunt show performances that same weekend. In the end, he had nothing to worry about. "I ended up having so much fun at the stunt shows that I think the positive energy from the shows gave me a confidence boost for XDL!" exclaimed Dixon.
Dixon and his Graves Yamaha R6 qualified in first place for the FMF Cup. "Going into the last round I was nine points ahead, so I just went out and landed my big hit tricks to finish off the competition for a first place finish," said Dixon of his stellar weekend.
His winning didn't stop there. After calling his shot in K&N Circle Challenge earlier in the day on the Versus show Inside XDL, Dixon stomped the competition and came out with another first place. By the end of the weekend Dixon trailed the overall points leader by a mere two points.
The pressure is on more than ever now heading into Round 5 at Indianapolis. Come out to the Indiana War Memorial in downtown Indianapolis on August 26 - 27 to see if Bill Dixon can accomplish his dream of becoming a three-time national champion!

The nephew of the most decorated player in UGA history, Herschel Walker, has been offered a football scholarship by archrival Georgia Tech.
Milan Richard is a 6-foot-2, 223-pound tight end from Savannah's Calvary Day high school. His parents both ran track at UGA, and his mother Veronica is Herschel's sister.
Georgia Tech is offer No. 9 for Richard, following UGA, South Carolina, NC State, UCLA, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss, among others. Richard is a junior and considered one of the state's top 20 prospects for 2014.
Calvary Day coach Mark Stroud was informed of the offer by Georgia Tech assistant Lamar Owens. Richard, who will likely talk directly to Georgia Tech early this week, is interested in what position he is projected to play, since the Yellow Jackets don't employ a tight end in the triple-option offensive formation. His coach said it didn't really matter.
"I don't know what position Milan will play in college, I really don't know," Stroud told the AJC on Sunday night. "But I do know that he has all the physical attributes to be a great college football player.
"Where he plays and at what position, I don't know what any of the college will end up doing with him. He's a big guy who can really run. He's great as a traditional tight end, or you could put him in the slot like we do. They may put some weight on him and put him down inside the tight end. They may put him at defensive end. I don't know what's going to happen, but I know he's got all the tools to make it happen."
Richard plans to make an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech for the Nov. 17 game against Duke and wants to learn more about the Yellow Jackets.
"I know a little bit about their stuff," Richard said. "I went to a game at Georgia Tech with my teammates two years ago. I know they run the triple option. I know Calvin Johnson went there; he's one of my favorite players. I know they have big guys playing in the wide receiver role."
What about UGA? As Herschel's nephew, he gets asked that question all the time. Everybody thinks that it's a foregone conclusion that Richard will one day be playing for the Bulldogs.
"Yes, both my parents went to Georgia – I grew up a Georgia fan and I'm still a Georgia fan," Richard said. "But that does not determine where I am going to go to college."
"I'm 100-percent undecided. I'm taking my time with the recruiting process. I don't want to be the guy who commits early and then de-commits later. If it ends up being Georgia, then I'm going to go to Georgia and be happy. But if not, I'm going to be happy wherever else I go."
His coach has heard all the talk about Richard being "automatic" for UGA, too. "I don't know what he will do. He's not made any indication that that's absolutely what he will do because he has talked to quite a few folks. He has not shut any doors, which I think is very wise on his part. He has definitely not said that he is absolutely going to Georgia. He also hasn't said he wasn't going to Georgia, either. He's at least open to some other possibilities."
College coaches and parents of his high school teammates know all about his connection to Herschel. But it isn't that big of a deal to his classmates, who were born long after his uncle won the 1982 Heisman Trophy.
"Those were the glory days for Georgia, and it was a lot of fun watching Herschel play," Stroud said. "But those were quite a few yeas ago. Milan handles the pressure well (from being Herschel's nephew) because he's got some years removed from the whole thing. The kids don't make a big deal about all of that, so I think that helps him a lot with the pressure."
"And the people that are recruiting him, even at Georgia, I appreciate the way they are handling it. They are not just doing it because he has a bloodline connection. That's exactly what they said, that 'We want Milan to be able to be himself, and we want to be able to recruit him like any other kid out there.' I think that's very important because this is Milan's life and he needs to be able to prove himself as a good and solid young man and a good and solid football player."
While Richard is proud and appreciative of his family's legacy, he doesn't want any special treatment because of it. "I don't want to have to go off anybody else's name to earn a football scholarship. I'm my own person. I'm just like every other kid, working hard with my high school team and going to camps."
Richard visited UGA a few times this past summer, and earned an early offer after his performance at July's Dawg Night prospect camp. He wanted it badly, but under the right circumstances.
"A lot of fans thought Georgia should offer me," he said. "But if you asked Georgia's coaches, they will tell you they felt like I earned their scholarship and that's why they gave it to me."
UGA's coaches are not allowed to comment on prospective student-athletes, per NCAA rules. But Herschel is. What is he telling his nephew about recruiting?
"Both of my parents were recruited for track, and they've kind of given me a lot of background and tips on recruiting that I need," Richard said. "My uncle, he's mainly there just for support. He's there for me, wherever I go. My parents tell me all the time that it's 100-percent my decision and I need to go where I want to go. It's the same way with my uncle. He said it's 100-percent my decision. He's still going to be my uncle, regardless of whether I go to UGA or not."
Richard has a 3.1 GPA and will likely major in Business.

Sounds like he has his head on right do not comment so early . I like what he said about being 100 % undecided . He has a long time to play High School . hell he could be a running back by the time he is a Senior. GOOD LUCK YOUNG MAN , WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU A DAWG.
October 29th, 2012

He seems like a mature, level-headed, young man. Good luck to him wherever he lands.

Take your time young man and visit some of the schools, then pick UGA. It's a family tradition.
October 29th, 2012

The GnaTs probably want him for B-back or to block down field.
Forget it.
However, the next coach could probably use a TE for his offense.
October 29th, 2012
9:22 am
gee dawg fans, take the victory and run and quit crying that it was a sloppy win, a win is a win.
October 29th, 2012

Love to see him at UGA however like that he isn't rushing the process.
October 29th, 2012

If he does go to UGA the one thing we will miss is some legendary comment about him from Larry Munson. Boy, do I miss that guy on game day!
October 29th, 2012
9:43 am
Just sad
October 29th, 2012
8:00 am
What is sad is your comment about a sloppy win. The defenses of both teams caused the other teams offenses to make mistakes, but UGA's defense was better and won the game. Mistakes were made by the offenses because of the excellent play of of the defenses. You don't always see a pretty game as one team or another usually always plays "sloppy", because the other team plays better. Anytime you beat a number 3 team in the country, that had the number 6 defense, you have accomplished something.
October 29th, 2012

"Georgia Tech doesn't employ a tight end"…..they also don't employ a defense and probably wish they didn't employ a Johnson for head coach…….
October 29th, 2012
9:56 am
Sounds like a smart kid. Good luck to him, wherever he goes.
Would be nice to have a real threat at TE for a change. I miss you, Leonard Pope.
October 29th, 2012
10:00 am
Sounds like the kid has a head on his shoulders. I can understand his desire to not ride his uncle's name but be his own man. Good for him!
October 29th, 2012
10:00 am
Don't worry y'all…he's going to pick UGA. He's just entertaining offers. And by the way, AJC, it's Calvary Day School – not "Calvary Day high school".
October 29th, 2012

Good Family behind him and sounds like he is doing the process right….GO DAWGS!

UGA is tight end U.
October 29th, 2012
10:57 am
Why would any talented kid with good athletic pedigree and NFL aspirations ever go to Gtech? I guess they still have to offer them anyway. If Johnson wasn't offering top in state talent the he would catch hell. I guess it's better to try and not succeed than to not try at all. Couldn't have been a better weekend… UGA win, Falcons win and Tech loses by 4 scores to BYU. Hey look at it this way Tech fans, the defense is improving you only gave up 41 to BYU. That's a huge improvement from the 49 you gave up to Middle Tenn St. Go Dawgs!!

He needs to come to Tech! He has a good GPA, wants to major in business and he could start for us right away! Go Jackets! I hope we can get this young man to see the light and come to GT!

Maybe Tech can pull a real coup and hire Vince Dooleys son as coach. I hear he may be looking for work shortly.

October 29th, 2012
12:42 pm
I think he should choose Georgia Southern in Statesboro. That way the AJC would have to cover them and would not confuse them with GA State. Did anyone see anything about the Eagles win in the Sunday edition online? I looked and did not. It was a 3OT game which the Eagles won. The DAWGS play them later this year and the AJC may have to hide their faces and mention their name, especially when the Eagles upset UGA.
October 29th, 2012
12:44 pm
He needs to go to Tech. If he does and his parents come to the games the attendance will finally get over 36,000 per game.
October 29th, 2012
12:52 pm
Best of luck to the kid- I'm a Georgia Tech fan- but if he doesn't come here, I'd rather it be UGA than out of state.
Whatever's best for him. Agree with the other poster's though- with D Rad on his way out as AD for tech (heading for Clemson)– the new AD could very well want to push CPJ out– right, wrong, or indifferent.

Will Tech let him still play while not going to class like they did with Joe Burns and Joe Hamilton?
October 29th, 2012
2:17 pm
If he comes to UGA, I think he should get to wear #34
October 29th, 2012
2:38 pm
That should be a no brainer for the young man. Does he want to play for a winning team or a losing team?
October 29th, 2012
2:42 pm
Dog smell,
Check your records again buddy. Herschel has a degree from GA. I'm not really sure what that has to do with this article or anything else but he's got a degree.
October 29th, 2012

You talk about most important part in the last sentence. Why is GPA last? This kid is NOT going to play football forever or he may get hurt. Then, all the people talking to him will be gone.
October 29th, 2012

Buy that young man a Trans Am! He will come to UGA. haha just kidding. Herschel will get him to UGa where he belongs.

Seems like he wants to go to UGA, but the DAWGS have not offered a schlarship.
October 29th, 2012

This article started out about Tech making the offer and it quickly turned to all about Jawga and Herschel. Go figure. I'm taking all bets that he goes to UGA.

Don't Miss This Chance
Sean is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Over the last several years, Research in Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY) has lost its dominance in the smartphone market. Having just announced a PR event for Jan. 30 at which they will reveal their new phones (there will be both a touch screen and a fixed keyboard version) and their new Blackberry 10 operating system, RIM is hoping for a resurgence.
I see three major reasons why RIM is poised to grow in 2013.
First, RIM's stock has been destroyed over the last four years from its peak of $144 in 2008. Since then it has lost roughly 95.5% of its value hitting a low of about $6.50. Such a huge decline in share price is an immediate sign that this stock warrants a second look in order to see if the sell-off was justified or purely emotional and to tell if there might be an opportunity for the stock to ascend back up to prior levels.
In the case of RIM, I think a sell-off was definitely warranted given how far Blackberry lagged behind competitors like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Whether a sell-off of more than 90% was warranted is not something I want to get into nor does it matter. The important point is that with RIM about ready to launch the Blackberry 10 and a stock price heavily beaten down, there is huge potential for this stock.
Second, back in 2010, RIM had 40% market share, but with the rise of Apple and Google coupled with RIM's lack of innovation, it now controls a meager 5.3% of the market. Apple and Google have gone from smartphone obscurity, to the two dominant players in the market controlling a combined 86% of the total smartphone market.
With a market share so battered and a product so unappealing, RIM now has one huge advantage coming back into the smartphone market, lower expectations. Apple, due to its enormous success, has a trove of investors who expect it to grow by astronomical amounts every quarter. When that doesn't happen they get scared and sell, as we have witnessed over the past two months or so.
RIM is starting at the bottom. If it gains a few percentage points of market share, that becomes huge positive news for investors. Sales growth of 40% or 20% or even 10% is great news for RIM. News like that will make the stock price rise.
Third, the market wants the RIM stock price to rise. Investors are just looking for a reason to buy. Over the past month or so the stock is up about 35% from its all-time low on speculation about the upcoming release of Blackberry 10. It now trades at around $8.80
In addition, when the announcement was made that the Blackberry 10 was being tested by phone carriers, the stock rose 10%. What I see are investors who want to believe in RIM and are just looking for a reason to do so.
While RIM has great potential there is definitely a risk to betting on it.
RIM is its own worst enemy. With positive expectations growing leading up to the January press event, the worst thing that could happen for RIM is for Blackberry 10 and their new phones to under impress.
The following are just some of the ways this could happen: if the new touchscreen phone is hard to use, if the operating system is slow, or boring or not intuitive, if business tasks are hard to manage, or if there are too few apps available for the phone.
This last issue is one that has plagued both RIM and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) over the last couple years. Microsoft, like RIM, has struggled in the smartphone market. It controls a measly 2.4% of worldwide market share. Part of the lack of enthusiasm for these two company's stems from the lack of apps available to users.
Both the Blackberry app store and Microsoft store have about 100,000 apps. This compares to 675,000 Android apps and 700,000 iPhone apps. If Blackberry and Microsoft want to compete they are going to need to have phones with sufficient apps so that it doesn't diminish a user's capabilities.
All things considered, I have high expectations for the new Blackberry 10. I think RIM is aware of these potential product pitfalls and will be well prepared when they launch in January. Now is an ideal opportunity to buy into a stock primed for rapid growth in 2013.
