Half Dome cables will remain, hikers still limitedBy TRACIE CONE

Tourists climb Half Dome at Yosemite National Park, Calif., where park officials say the hand-rail cables that some environmental groups argued dont belong in a wilderness will stay, as will a lottery that will limit the number of hikers to roughly 400 a day.FRESNO, Calif. The hike up the granite monolith Half Dome in Yosemite National Park is one of the most iconic in the nationwide system, but on Friday officials announced approval of a plan that permanently limits how many can do it.
National Park Service authorities will issue permits to limit the number of hikers to 400 a day, the target number since an interim plan was approved in 2010 to reduce congestion in a wilderness area and make the hike safer.
In a blow to environmental groups, the park also decided to keep in place the heavy metal cables drilled into the monolith that hikers use to steady themselves on the 45-degree final climb up slick granite. Some groups had argued that handrails do not belong in a federally designated wilderness area.
With a place like Yosemite that is so dear and important to millions of people, everyone has ideas about what wilderness protection is. We tried to find a balance that allows people to still experience Yosemite while protecting Yosemite, said spokeswoman Kari Cobb.
Over the past decade the route had been inundated with up to 1,200 nature lovers a day seeking to experience the iconic mountain that is stamped on the California quarter, stitched on a line of outdoor clothing and painted on the side of the parks vehicles.
Congestion on the dome made it difficult for hikers to descend when inclement weather struck, as it often does on summer afternoons.
At least five people have died on the cables since 2006, nearly all with rain as a factor. Park officials want visitors to be able to descend the slick granite in 45 minutes if they have to escape the fast-forming storms, and limiting numbers is the only way to do that, they say.
As calls for rescues increased, park officials began looking for solutions in 2008.
Two years later an interim plan was introduced to allow 400 hikers a day to get permits through a lottery system that takes place in March. Authorities have tweaked the system since then to account for no-shows and to allow a secondary lottery two days in advance for those who travel more spontaneously.
It was a really good tool that we used to provide no-show and cancellation permits to people who made last-minute plans, Cobb said.
In 1874 the slick dome that rises 5,000 feet above the valley floor was described as perfectly inaccessible.
But in 1919 the Sierra Club installed the first cables along the 400-foot final ascent so that visitors without rock climbing experience could hoist themselves to the summit the size of 17 football fields to drink views of Little Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, endless Sierra and the Valley floor.
There is no doubt that if the decision were made today, there would be no braided steel cables and stanchions drilled into Half Dome. Congress passed the Wilderness Act in 1964, and 20 years later designated 95 percent of Yosemite, including Half Dome, as land that should not be altered by man.
The eight-mile round trip hike is the busiest by far of any in the National Parks designated wilderness areas. Over the decades the number of visitors to the park has steadily climbed, topping 4 million in part because the park is an easy drive from Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
Now scaling Half Dome is a measure of personal fortitude for some who had worried that without cables access would be lost.
At this point Im happy that the plan was selected to keep the cables up, said Rick Deutsch, a Bay Area hiker who has written a book about the trek. Id say that based on the situation that exists with overcrowding, they have come up with a plan that looks like it should work.MORE IN Wire NewsBILLINGS, Mont.

Fantastic and CLEAN
What a lovely home! We were impressed with the level of cleanliness throughout the home. From the bathrooms to the hot tub, everything looked and smelled clean. The kitchen was so well stocked, we had every appliance we needed and then some. I have read some complaints about the 'parking lot' behind the home - That was never an issue, and the kids actually liked it, as they saw horses being loaded and unloaded from trailers, which was new for them. We have decided that this is the only home we will stay in from now on. Thanks again to the owners for allowing us to stay there!
We really enjoyed out stay
My family and I stayed at the Gibson House August 17-19th. And while it was a short stay, we enjoyed the house greatly. We had no issues with anything in the house. The owner, Miss Kimmie, was there when we arrived, and walked me through the house. She also gave me instructions on how to use the entertainment equipment - dvd player, sound system, tv. Yes, it might be older, but it still works great as long as you treat it carefully. We had no issues with it, and really had a good time watching movies in the theater room. My kids got a total kick out of it the theater inside the house. The bedrooms served their purpose. We all slept just fine. If anything, bring your own pillow just for comforts sake. We also all had plenty of towels to use for showering. Yes, you do have to walk through a bathroom to get into the "Keeper's" and "Jungle" bedrooms. Which really isn't anything to complain about. Just, you know, be patient if someone's in the bathroom. Or walk through quick. The kitchen was great, and we found everything we could possibly need cooking and utensil wise. The dishwasher ran just fine. The owners very kindly allowed us use of items in their garage. Which isn't junk...We used the two bikes, some of the play buckets when we went to the beach, and the air hockey table. I could go on about the house, but I will simply say this - treat the house with respect. The owners have put a lot of time and effort into making it a fun place to stay. It's a very functional house, and I would not hesitate to stay there again if we were ever to go back to Ocean Shores. It's not that far from the beach, and not that far from town either. Anyone who rents a vacation home should make an effort to do a walk through with the owner, and get directions on how to use certain items. The only, and I mean ONLY issue we had was with the yard, there are little sticker bushes in the grass, and we found that out the hard way. I only say that in case someone with animals, or small kids stay there. But, once we found that out, shoes went on and stayed on anytime we were outside. It did not, however, ruin our stay. Yes, the ice cream parlor is mainly for looks, but is functional if you plan ahead of time and get instructions on how to use it, and plan accordingly for it. Thank you, Kimmie, for allowing us to stay in your home. We had a great time, and made lots of great memories there.

Preheat broiler. Rinse beans under cold running water. Make salsa: Place 1/4 cup black beans in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining beans, tomato, scallions, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine; set aside.
Make chips: Cut each tortilla into eight wedges. Arrange on a baking tray; coat with cooking spray. Place under broiler, and bake until crisp and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool. Serve salsa with chips.
This is a keeper! The jalapeno without the seeds didn't make it really spicy, so I'll probably add the seeds next time to jazz it up a bit. Even so, it was awesome and the cilantro really adds that special flavor. Great!!Reply
I made the salsa and it's wonderful. The lime is very good. You can vary it up - I used more tomato and no jalapeno - and it comes out great.Reply
AFTER FINDING OUT HOW GOOD BEANS ARE FOR US, AND LOVING SALSA, I HAD TO HAVE THIS RECIPE. WE MAKE SALSA ALMOST ONCE A WEEK. USE IT ON EGGS, AND SANDWICHES.Reply

Dont miss this if you are an avid batman fan.
Includes complete history of Batman and Bruce Wayne, with awesome graphic interpretation.
Believe me, Flipkart is selling this book for very low price.
Dont miss this, its a must have collectible!!
Builds a whole new level to the detail this character has been developed. Very intelligent and a brilliant material for the true aficionados.
This book has everything from Bruce's birth, to his death and eventual resurfacing in the comic universe. Basically everything before DC's massive reboot. And this book can never be out of date, since it covers every single aspect till DC's reboot, which can be viewwed as a new starting point for Batman.
One minor gripe is that the villain biographies are incomplete, however they appear to be incomplete on purpose. For example, Joker's bio includes a note at the bottom saying 'Continued', but it never is. However if you check carefully, it appears that this biodata is kept on several stac... (Expand)

Baby Olympian? DNA Test Screens Sports Ability
MSNBC: Ava Anderson can't run -- not yet anyway. And the only iron she pumps comes via her tiny spoon. Then again, she's just 13 months old.
But Ava was born with a genetic blend that will infuse her body with the explosive bursts of a power athlete and the steady engine of marathoner. Someday, this baby may blossom into a multisport, cross-training double threat. That's not parental conjecture. That's her DNA profile.
Her mom and dad had her tested.
Like more than 200 other parents to date, Hilary and Aaron Anderson paid $149 to Atlas Sports Genetics -- a Boulder, Colo. company -- for a sneak peek at their kid's athletic horizons.
The Andersons received a home-analysis kit to check whether Ava has the inborn knack for strength sports (like sprinting) or endurance sports (like cycling). Then, to get the genetic scoop, they simply brushed the inside of Ava's cheek with two cotton swabs, sealed the samples in a baggie and mailed them to an Australian lab used by Atlas. Although there are 20,000 strands of human DNA, the lab hunts for variations of just one: ACTN3, which can predict certain athletic skills, some experts believe. Five weeks later, the Andersons heard the verdict.
"She's a mix," said Hilary Anderson, who wasn't surprised by the results given that she is tall and lean and that her husband once trained for the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team. "If she came back all endurance, we'd probably focus more on the long-distance type things. Likewise, if she was all strength, we would direct her toward power sports. This will let her try all sorts of things."

I'm One Cranky Mommy
Guest blogger Dani Klein Modisett: "Fancy Hat Day." "Crazy Shoe Day." "Whacky Hair Day." These are just a few of the events listed on the annual calendar at my son's school. Isn't sitting and doing homework every day enough of a show of my love for my kindergartner? Do I also have to remember to spray paint his Keds or, worse, his hair?
Nurturing "school spirit" makes me want to do shots of tequila and show up at his school with my own special brand of "crazy Mommy."
"Mom! All the other kids have a shirt with the school name on it," my five-year-old screamed at me as we stood waiting for the bus. "Today is Friday," he continued, "and Friday is the day when you're supposed to wear your school shirt and if enough kids do it then the whole class gets a root beer float!"
Reallllly, I think, 'cause I'll buy you a root beer float right now and spare myself all the aggravation of remembering what day you have to wear which f*&king shirt. Of course I don't say that. I mean, I don't want to bum my son out, but I've got a baby at home and I work and I'm feeling maxed out planning five lunches a week and somewhat healthy snacks and making sure he learns how to read and spell this year.
One morning a week there is a school assembly where they welcome parents on campus to participate in the weekly wrap-up. The irony is that every time I visit his school, I feel unbelievably grateful and happy that my son is a student there. The seams of my unadorned shirts are bursting open with school spirit. The real kind of spirit that doesn't come from making children wear special clothes, shoes or hats to win prizes.
But maybe I'm just an old, tired, cynical Mommy. Maybe what I really need is multicolored wig, some floppy shoes, and a root beer float.
It doesn't get better as they get older. I have kids in High school, middle school and elementary. Between the three schools there is always something going on. They always need a dollar for this or that or once we end one fund raiser, another comes home. I am not sure how much time they spend in classes anymore.
ugh that sounds like such a pain! I would do a few of those things, but not all.
J is right…it never ends. Between money for the school store, shirt clothing, school pictures, school fund raiser (where my kids always want to earn the biggest prize, that is if they sell 1000 items) And don't get me started on how much it cost to put in kids in sports. I tell my younger brother who still has toddlers when he complains about how costly they are to just want until they're older and will no longer settle for Walmart clothes. This year my 13 son wants an ipod, ipod home, football joursey and a pair of Jordans that according to him ONLY cost $175. Yea right.
don't even get me started on the insane amounts of fundraisers, and the incentives for the kids to participate…who can afford or keep up with all of it?
It never ends, but you can say NO.

Contribution of the Inflammatory Microenvironment to Tumor Initiation, Progression and Metastasis; Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer Chemoprevention; Anti-Inflammatory Benefits of Dietary Nutrient Compounds
Research Description
Fresh fruits and vegetables are indisputable components of a healthy diet. However, mechanistic understandings of how food products impact human physiology are few. In addition to essential vitamins and minerals, many vegetables contain chemical compounds that have positive health effects. Among these is the isothiocyanate class of chemicals present in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli. Isothiocyanates have been well characterized for their activity in preventing tumor development in carcinogen-challenged animals. However, little is know about how these compounds prevent cancer , and whether they may have other beneficial health effects. The bioactive nutrient isothiocyanates (ITCs) are chemically reactive compounds whose structure suggests that they could covalently modify potential protein targets. Using a novel proteomics screen, we identified a prevalent protein target of ITC modification in the cell. This protein is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and asthma where studies have shown that it is a critical participant in the disease process. As a participant in signal transduction, gene expression, apoptosis and proliferation of target cells, this protein is a provocative molecular target for the isothiocyanates that could explain their chemopreventive activity. In addition, the central role of this protein in inflammatory disease processes may indicate a potential anti-inflammatory benefit for these nutrient compounds. Using two of the most prevalent isothiocyanates in broccoli , sulforaphane and PEITC, we are working to characterize the importance of this protein target in the phenomenon of cancer chemoprevention. In addition, we are using both in vitro studies and animal models to characterize the potential of these compounds to interfere with inflammatory processes in an intact organism. These studies may define a molecular mechanism for action of cancer chemopreventives and allow the development of alternative approaches for cancer prevention. Moreoever, they may provide additional insights into the well-appreciated epidemiological link between inflammation and cancer risk and define a pharmacological target for intervention in these processes.

Creating Safe Communities with the Connecticut Youth Forum
a special effort to encourage conversations about violence in our lives
A common thread running through any type of interpersonal conflict in whether it's bullying in school or online, gun violence on a street corner, or abuse in a home, is a need for safe places to live, work, and learn. It's a fundamental human need.
Today, where we live, we'll talk about a special effort to encourage conversations about safe communities, and ways to reduce the violence in our daily lives - whatever type of violence that may be.
It's a continuation of our series where we welcome in students to help lead our conversation - today it's a group from the Connecticut Youth Forum, along with experts in the field of conflict resolution.
They're all figuring out ways young people can help to solve their own problems, stopping violence before it starts.

We organised a couple of months ago a fantastic exhibition in collaboration with the BEAMS stores from Japan "fennica travelling exhibition", focusing on Japanese and Scandinaving craft and design. We just received a reorder from one of the standout pieces from the show, the BEAMS Fennica khakis. BEAMS Fennica buyer, Terry Ellis has planned this "Fennica Khaki" chino pants. Instead of redesigning radically, he has imaged to evolve the tradition.
To give a modern look, he has mixed military and ivy elements and made the pants wearable with various items. The legs are straight and slim. It is slightly high-waist, but the beautifully shaped silhouette around the hips makes the pants very smart. The back-belt detail gives a bit of an Ivy touch.
a unique basic!
Back-belt for adjustment.
The BEAMS Fennica khakis are now available at kapok webshop.

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, the results of Jonathon Niese's MRI revealed no damage in his left shoulder. Writes Rubin:
An MRI in New York revealed no damage with Jonathon Niese's shoulder or otherwise, a source told ESPNNewYork.com. Niese should resume throwing within a couple of days.
Niese, 27, flew to New York yesterday after discomfort in his shoulder persisted.
The Mets downplayed the issue, calling it precautionary, and Niese echoed that sentiment, noting that he just wanted "peace of mind."
The results of the MRI align with what the Mets and Niese thought this was, and should provide a big sigh of relief regarding the state of the starting rotation.
Niese's first Grapefruit League start was pushed back after he flew to New York, but he should be able to jump back in rather quickly.

(BREAKING: Click here to read about top UNC recruiting target in Georgia shocked by firing of Butch Davis)
Joe Harris, who is considered by some to be Georgia's No. 1 college football prospect on the offensive line, committed to South Carolina on Wednesday.
"I love everything about South Carolina — it just shines brightly to me," Harris told the AJC.
The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder from Lithonia High School picked South Carolina over UGA, Clemson and Mississippi State among his 13 early offers at DeKalb County's football "Media Day."
"South Carolina is on the rise; they have some of the best players in the country with Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffrey," Harris said. "They need some help on the offensive line. The coaches feel like I can be someone who can give them some immediate help. I really like South Carolina's coaches, and I think they will help me bring out the best in me as a football player. South Carolina has a great atmosphere for college football. They have some of the best fan support anywhere, win or lose. But they're winning now, and I want to be a part of that winning."
The Gameocks also gained inside position due to Cedrick Cooper, who played at Lithonia last season and ended up signing with South Carolina. Said Harris, "We're really good friends. He told me a lot of good things about South Carolina. We played on the same team in high school, and want to do it again in college. I also know Sharrod Golightly [freshman safety from Southwest DeKalb High School], and some of the other Atlanta recruits who have already committed to South Carolina this year."
What about UGA? "I had people in my family and teachers who wanted me to go to UGA," Harris said. "It's a good school. But I just didn't connect to UGA as well I did with the overall situation at South Carolina … South Carolina is just a better fit for me."
Said Lithonia coach Marcus Jelks, "UGA was one of the first to offer Joe. But other schools recruited him much harder over the last few months."
South Carolina has 17 players committed for its 2012 recruiting class, including 7 from Georgia. Said Jelks, "Harris is a big, strong kid who has a lot strength and power. He's also a natural leader at the position. He'll be a good one for South Carolina."
UPDATE: One of Georgia's top basketball players has Duke, Memphis and Ohio State as his leaders. Tony Parker, a 6-foot-9, 270-pound forward from Miller Grove High School, is also talking with North Carolina and NCAA champion UConn (click on story link)

RRTDawgs, the Georgia myth is over. Look at the Rivals recruiting rankings. The Cocks are in the top 10-15. Where the hell are the puppys? They're sucking hind tit. You give your fellow Georgia followers, ( I will not qualify you as an alumni ) a bad reputation. It's something that we South Carolinians have grown to hate. You think your puppy sh*t don't stink. Well let me tell you that it did last year and it will smell worst this year between the shrubs because you and the dogs are a bunch of scrubs compared to the new Gamecocks. Shrubs=scrubs. Face it RRT, Spurrier owned you at Florida and he is doing the same at Carolina…The Carolina.
By the way, with Davis getting canned at unc and the puppys losing their first two games I think Coach Ritch will face the same fate. What do you think? Will you call for him to be fired? Tell me your thoughts oh wise one! With unc and uga going down with no head coach, look for the Gamecocks to move to the top of the list for Marshall. Wouldn't that float your boat? RRT, from a lifetime Gamecock, you don't want to get into it with me. I respect you fine University. I also do not condone some comments from some USC fans but when you talk trash and you're obviously a piece of garbage, then I feel an obligation to reply. Sorry, I'm not sure there are Cliff notes covering all of this. Good Luck on the 10th to all the Georgia fans. I hope we all have a good time but you're going DOWN for the second year in a row and you'll understand why Mr. Joe Harris chose The University of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks.
That's right. Two time, back to back college baseball National Champions!

"Another Georgia HS player that used our taxpayer money for his education and training and then got in bed with the enemy. Not too much loyalty or class with these individuals." – Remember a kid that left South Carolina to play for Georgia named A.J. Green? Consider throwing back your 5-star commit, John Theus, as he is from Florida, not Georgia. Kids go where they feel the most comfortable and where they feel they can be of value. South Carolina may have been better sooner under Spurrier had players like A.J. Green and Carlos Dunlap chosen to stay home and play but they didn't. Get off of Joe Harris' back and move on. We did.

I thought when Coach Kung Fu Panda took a huge "reach" on Jimmie Kitchens it was supposed to give GT an "in" with Joe Harris, yeah right!
GT didn't even make his list of finalists.
So we end up taking an undersized reach (Kitchens) that had academic issues that prevented him from going to Auburn & Tenn St. and we still don't get the big-time OL Recruit for 2012, Harris.
Typical GT recruiting.
July 27th, 2011
10:56 pm
Nice to see that WnE is obsessed as ever. The blog is about a kid who goes to SC rather than UGA and he makes it all about GT. What a sad angry person he is.

In case you complainers missed my post about Bobo: We scored 30+ seven straight games last year. Our problem in most losses since BVG left has been the defense. I hope and think we will return to having a strong defense in 2011. Do you not remember all the losses when BVG was here was because of our offense sputtered and couldn't move the ball? That is why we called for CMR to hire an OC. Do you really think that there is a team out there where all the fans agree with every offensive play call? I too wonder why we run a draw sometimes to Thomas on 3rd and 11. Bobo probably wonders how all these Dawg fans who have never coached successfully are supposed to be thrilled and awed with every call he makes. Do you think AM, as a freshman executed Bobo's calls perfectly? Bobo produced last year. Our offense has been outscored the last few years by WM's defense. CTG has the hauses now, let's see.
Go Dawgs!

Notice the intelligent UGA fans say congrats to the young man. The rest talk about how sorry USC's history is, how bad we really are and we'll never be anything good. That might be true but our fans stay true no matter what. You won't see us bashing our coach and living on yesteryear. The time is now and I can't wait to see what happens.

Wonder how these young men will feel about their decisions when Georgia 'runs the table' on the likes of South Carolina, et. al.? Of course we might not, but that 'on the rise' thing just might ring a little hollow after a few touchdown Georgia victory come Sept 10.

You Carolina guys just kill me…you win one SEC East title (then get your butts beat down in the Dome…twice)…then you get a young kid believin', like so many of you now seem to, that you actually make the Sun come up when you crow. Got news for you, it ain't you and by the time the Sun sets on Sept. 10, these kids, along with the rest of the SEC will know that Spurrier has 'shot his wad' and will be contemplating life with nothing left but golf.

Of COURSE uga didn't REALLY want this kid! Heaven forbid that a quality player might choose any school that doesn't reside in Athens! Did a pup fan ACTUALLY state that Athens was a better city than Columbia?! That there were no attractive women in Columbia?! AMAZING! Shouldn't you mutts be celebrating your preseason national championship? Bill King should have you dogs barking by now…PLEASE tell me that he hasn't stopped serving up that koolade! Spurrier…a Heisman trophy winner…has been the head coach of a National Championship Team (At the END of the season when they ACTUALLY count) vs. Richt…a good coach that seems to have lost his winning touch these last few seasons? This kid made a good decision…good luck kid!

First of all welcome to South Carolina Joe. Hope you have a very good career on and off the field here at SC.
Now in reply to who said "Butch Davis fired, Kieth Marshall to the dawgs. What about when your coach gets fired this year? Ya'll been calling for his head the last couple of years and after ya'll flop again this year he'll be gone just like Butch Davis. Good luck with that fired coach approach in recruiting but don't use it to strongly, you'll be in that boat soon.

Didn't he just say that in the interview he had a day ago? I mean you could tell by his responce he was heading to South Carolina. Plus he thinks he will be playing with a lot of the current starters? Most will be gone when he starts more than likely. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you young man. I hope you will be happy at your school and get a good education.
Now as for all the S.C. fans cutting down UGA and talking like your school is the next best thing to sliced bread. Don't you think you might want to wait until you win the SEC title one time, before you declare your school all world. You act like a bunch of giddy teenage girls at a slumber party. Show some class.

A lot of sour grapes on this post by Dawg fans! If this keeps up I will need to chnage my name to "East ThreePeat"! Way to go CSS, South Carolina is at the top of SEC East and players like this will keep us there. See u Dawg fans Sept 10th in Athens. It will be glorious!

@East Repeat.. sour grapes? All I see is Cocks trying to poke at Dawgs. Yes, pun intended. Win something besides a low rent bowl game. I love that you guys have passion for SC, but please KEEP IT REAL!!! Your team was a 50 yard pass and a fumble away from blowing the game against us last time. We beat you in a shootout. We beat you when no one even scored a touchdown. The only reason you guys even compete against our weak coaching staff because its the beginning of the season and you all are fresh. Your best bet is that Spurrier doesn't take this job next year. How you like me now?
July 28th, 2011
7:54 am
All we have to do is bracket Alshon Jeffrey cause he is slow, and blitz Garcia to death (and it will happen). You folks are in for a blowout. I hate to tell you. History serves itself. So yeah you get a East Three-peat, three more years looking at our rear view.

His words: "They have some of the best fan support anywhere, win or lose." I'm a UGA fan but maybe this is why he didn't decide to go to Athens. We shoot our wounded, rejoice when a problem kid leaves, condemn the coach for losses that can be traced back to decisions made by 18-20 year old's.

@ Nothing Could Be Finer… easy answer: CMR, BooBoo, and a new defense. When installing a 3-4, you need an elephant nose tackle. We did not have one. Now we have three. The problem really wasn't defense, it was bad play calling and holding Murray's hand. When they took the bibb off in the 4th quarter, we came back. You know as well as I know, that fumble by Ealey cost us the game. I admit, we got physically hammered on both sides last year, and we still could have won. No disputing that. If SC was so good, then they would not have lost 5 games. Period. They were just better as a team last year over UGA. UGA will win more games this year off talent alone, in spite of our staff. SC needs a Spurrier or a Holtz to even stand a chance. You guys just don't have enough depth talent wise. Your first team can hang with anyone, but what about after that? This is a "football" analysis I'm giving, not just some bulldog puppy hugger.

The Frosh Dream Team of 2011 came in to UGA because they knew that likely, they could play for UGA right now.
This current 2012 class of recruits is keenly aware that with CMR & Co. that they could be (could be) committing to play for a team that will have a new coach on board by December.
CMR and his entire staff also are keenly aware that they ( or UGA ) will feel the "hurt" by this so far, very, very soft Frosh 2012 class, say within two or three years down the road. There is not much that they can do to stem the flow of kids leaving Georgia for other schools. It is a fact, that the other coaches are pounding on the heads of the players AND their parents to establish the fact that CMR possibly by December could be out of here.
This is what happens when you let your program slide, like CMR has for the last three or four years. This is one HUGE REASON why it is so difficult to reverse, once the slide begins. All of a suddent the recruiting starts to slide and we are seeing that now.
CMR needs to win 9 and be at least TIED with SC in the East at season's end. Otherwise, we make changes. HE ALSO MUST DEFEAT Florida or that will be his demise. It is what it is.

I suspect that the so called SC fans here are not even from the state of SC. The enjoy this site to hammer away at UGA. That is their right. Knock yourselves out.

Yesterday, I suggested that GT's CPJ will take the reigns at NC in his home state. I predicted yesterday that Coach Butch Davis would be blown out. He was.
The NC administrators would be mesmerized by the possibility of immediate wins by using CPJ's goofy wishbone offense. At NC, he very likely could recruit far superior athletes than what he has currently at GT. He is aware that NC has a brand that is more superior in sports that GT has. Frankly, neither school has done anything recently including basketball and baseball, which both schools think that they play at a high level.
CPJ is well aware that his resume is badly damaged by the NCAA cheating scandal and this North Carolina HC job is his ticket out of town and far away from Ethel Street.
CPJ knows that at GT, he will never win big. Even his lil 09 ACC trophy is collecting dust in the basement of the Waffle House corporate offices.
CPJ will dump GT soon for Chapel Hill.

Ga loses their top 2 running backs, top 2 wide receivers, Chappas, top defender (Houston), 2nd best linebacker, and a bunch of o-linemen.

Best fan support win or lose???? He just doesn't know Carolina fans. Let them lose and they are ready to fire spurrier and they pick the players apart. With Mangus, their QB Coach being arrested in Greenville for being drunk and urinating on the sidewalk and Garcia getting in trouble and getting 5 more chances to "do good", yep, Carolina is the place for him. Wonder how much 5 Points played in his decision. Read about the last two players getting in trouble—-they are beginning to make us, UGA, look like Saints!!!

@ We are nearing the end… all very true statements, but there is one problem with your argument. UGA WILL get a coach that is highly regarded and stop the bleeding. What IF they got Charlie Strong, Dan Mullen, Derek Dooley, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Leach, or Kirby Smart. All great recruiters with ties to the South. The smoothest transition would probably be Smart, because of the defense (3-4) and he has his hooks in just about every major recruit in the south and nationwide. Plus he is all DAWG. That's why he didn't take the DC job. A smart move.

@ Nothing Could Be Finer… That's why I said bracket Jeffrey, as in double cover or put a safety over the top. That's not a football analysis. A 314lb center? Jenkins is 6-4 and weighs 340 plus. Kwame Geathers is 6-6 and weighs 350. Who is your back up center? a nobody. Football analysis please.

Dawgwalk, love your red&black glasses, but unfortunately for UGA fans, Lattimore ran through our pathetic secondary like a hot knife through butter. It wasn't just the nose guard getting pushed around. Rambo, Hamilton, Boykin, Brandon Smith, none of them wanted to come up and tackle this kid in the 4th qtr. Sorry, but those are the same inept D.B's that will be afraid to tackle him again this year. For a top O.L recruit to pick S.C over UGA is a sad thing, and it clearly makes a statement as to what Ga. kids think of the state of the UGA program and it's direction under Richt. As bad as UGA needs depth on the O.L. losing a top O.L should never happen, couple that with the fact his coach said UGA was on him early, but that S.C was recruiting him much harder down the stretch. This is a common comment among high school coaches and propects when it comes to Richt and his staff. THey have this arrogance about them still, and for the love of God, no one knows why. When you get your ass kicked all over the field the last 3 years, you should work your ass off, and do whatever it takes to secure the top talent in state. But not this bunch of arrogant, unprepared coaches. Losing to Bama and Saban, and Meyer and Florida on recruits is understandable, both schools have won N.C. lately, but to lose to S.C, that is unaccepable at UGA. Tech&Carolina are little brothers to UGA, always has been, but doesn't look like that will continue to be the case. Please McGarity, use your damn head, and help UGA get back to where it should be, and stop the bleeding before it's too late to recover.

Eric LimApr 26 2013: I just don't think that this is possible. This question appeals to those who are interested in world-wide unity, but I believe that we-as people-are simply too diverse to ever be unified in this world. People are not only creatures of logic, but of passion and pride-and those qualities (which are not entirely vices) along with many other things (such as culture) that makes us human, I believe, would make it impossible to ever accomplish such an astronomical feat.

Every email, phone call, text message, and video chat is monitored and recorded. Now what?
It wasn't all that long ago, that we could safely presume that our private conversations were not being monitored or recorded on a routine basis. That has changed now. It is safe to assume that every electronic communication that can be recorded is being recorded. This includes every phone call you make or pick up. This is mostly being done by the United States, using massive new data centers being built in places like the state of Utah, but many other countries are in the game too.
The official line is that we're doing this for national defense. Just in case some evil chatter comes across, we need to know if someone's planning to nuke a major city, right? And if you've got nothing to hide, then you've got nothing to worry about, right? All those thousands of drone aircraft flying over head in U.S. airspace now, never mind them, right?
With the National Defense Authorization Act in place as law now, it is possible that someone's personal emails will be recorded, interpreted as terrorist "chatter", and then a U.S. citizen could be held in jail indefinitely without any charges being brought and without any recourse. What's happened to my country?

Nov 30 2012: It would seem there is an enormous business opportunity for someone to develop a solution to solve this. Just to test the market waters here: How many people would be willing to pay a small premium on your cell phone bill - say 2% - to ensure that no government agency could secretly record all your conversations?

How and where to park legally
|Parking incorrectly, such as on double and single yellow lines, in a bus lane, across cycle lanes or in residents' parking bays, even for a few minutes, can cause inconvenience and even danger to other road users and pedestrians. Devon County Council and the District Councils hope that by enforcing parking regulations motorists will be more inclined to park safely and legally reducing any danger or inconvenience placed upon road users every day.
Following these simple rules will help you to park in a way that doesn't cause inconvenience or a danger to other members of the public and prevent you receiving a Penalty Charge Notice:
- Always check the lines on the road and, where applicable, the signs by the side of the road, see Signs and markings (701KB - pdf help)
- Always make sure you have parked wholly within the bay markings. Over hanging sections of a vehicle may cause a hazard to other road users and may incur a PCN
- In Loading only bays check the signs to see if bay is restricted to Goods Vehicles Only
- Make sure that none of your vehicles wheels are resting on a yellow line(s)
- Do not stay longer than is permitted by the signs or by the ticket you have purchased
- Do not block entrances to private properties – dropped kerbs
- Do not double park, or park more than 50 centimetres from a kerb or boundary
- Do not park partially or fully on footways or pavements
- Do not park in a way that will make it unsafe for pedestrians at dropped/raised crossing places
- Do not park on pedestrian crossings or the white zigzag markings near to the crossing or on yellow zigzag "School Keep Clear" markings
- Blue Badge Holders can park in Limited Waiting Bays without limit or need to display a time clock
- Blue Badge Holders may park without charge in On-Street Pay & Display places, but charges do apply in all off-street Council owned car parks. Drivers should not exceed the maximum permitted stay time in the bay
- Do not park on corners of junctions, or brows of hills or where yellow kerb markings exist. Blue Badge Holders are also not permitted to wait on the yellow line restrictions at these places
- Do not park behind a double or single yellow line on a footpath or verge. This restriction applies from the kerbside to any private property boundary. You will be parking in contravention of a traffic regulation order see Traffic Orders and liable for a fine
- In pay and display car parks always make sure you read the guidance on the signs near the entrances or terms and conditions of use at the point of payment
- In car parks always make sure you purchase the appropriate pay and display ticket(s) and clearly display it in your window
- Motor home owners, utility style trucks or vehicles with trailers attached should purchase sufficient tickets for the number of marked spaces their vehicle occupies either in full or part in on-street pay and display spaces. You must not use a parking space for any other purpose other than parking a vehicle.
To view maps illustrating current Waiting and Parking restrictions see Current Waiting and Parking restrictions - Traffweb
If you are unsure of where to park legally, please refer to the Highway Code - Waiting and Parking for further advice.

Viking History Half-Day Tour from Stockholm
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Viking History Half-Day Tour from Stockholm. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Had the greatest guide in the world and a great tour group. Loved every minute of this tour and would go again in a heatbeat!
Excellent and really enjoyable. Very expensive though so had to be!!
Very nice tour to the history of the Vikings. Really enjoyed the country side of Stockholm.
It was great to get out of Stockholm to see more of the countryside. This was a very interesting field trip to see where the Viking's lived and where they left there mark.
Our guide was a local with exceptional knowledge, thank you Pieter.
Very knowledgeable tour guide that took care of everything. Very interesting stops for those interested in Viking history. Also nice to see the countryside around Stockholm. Very pleasant experience!
This was an excellent tour. There was only 3 of us on the tour and our driver/guide, Urban was very entertaining and informative. He regaled us with stories and ancedotes on the way to the various sites. He would provide us with both an official version of events at the sites, but he would then add to it with his own thoughts and views and this was very interesting and added an extra touch of personalisation to the tour. To be honest, probably due to the very small size of the group, it really did not feel like a tour at all, but more like being taken round the local sites by a knowledgeable friend. The pace was just right and each of the sites visited was interesting and added something to the trip and your knowledge of Viking history. The stop at the farm to enjoy some coffee and cake before walking through the ruins was especially good as i was not expecting to enjoy such hospitality. Sigtuna is a vey nice little town, but maybe it is just a little bit too touristy, but sti very nice . All in all it was a really good tourand although it may seem quite expensive it really is wotrth the money. I just hope they keep the small group formula, as i don'tthink it would work nearly so well if it was scaled up to be a tour catering for a full bus load of passengers as you would miss that personal touch that really makes this tour
The tour was excellent from beginning to end: excellent guide, tea party lunch, sights, transportation.
It was wonderful, so informative in a pleasing manner. Our guide, driver was so interesting and thoughtful
would highly recommend this trip to everyone. Well worth the price.
A must do for any one wanting to learn more about Vikings.
My wife and I had a great time on this trip. Our guide was very knowledgable and also very funny. We enjoyed all of the stops along the tour and would definitely recommend this tour to others. The fact that it is only small groups makes for a much more personal and enjoyable experience.
Sharon M
Very, very informative with a wonderful tour leader. The only suggestion I have is that a map be distributed so we know where sites that are not in Sigtuna and Uppsala are located (eg, runes and mounds).
Wonderful tour
An excellent, intimate tour with a fantastic knowledgeable guide. I would highly recommend it
Our guide Urban gave us a an exceptional private tour of the area around Stockholm, since we were the only ones booked. Our 6 hours turned into 8 hours as we had the chance to explore at a more leisurely pace. One of the highlights that we will long remember was going to a private farm and enjoying refreshments with the owner and learning about her life in rural Sweden. The Uppsala burial mounds and the old Uppsala Church at the site was another memorable part of the day. It was our favorite church in all of the ones we visited around the Baltic. At our stop in the beautiful very ancient town of Sigtuna we had over an hour to explore on our own and eat lunch in a flower filled patio. Then there were the runes and visiting so many sites where they stood, along the road sides, deep in the forest and up on a farmer's hill, We really got a deep sense of the history we were witnessing. This is one tour not to be misses!!!

When I started thinking about the cake idsplay for the Star Wars/Space party, I immediately thought of planet cake pops. I typically only like to make cake pops when there's a reason for the thing to be on a stick in the air. Flying snitches? Awesome. Planets orbiting my cake stand? Yes!
Two problems with that idea, though. 1) No cake scraps in the freezer. I'm not admitting who ate them all, and I wasn't about to bake an entire cake just so I could smush it up. 2) I'm really, really bad at making cake pops.
The first problem was easily solved. I wouldn't actually make cake balls. Instead, I'd make peanut butter planet pops. Chocolate and peanut butter is never a bad idea! So I whipped up a batch of a favorite childhood treat.
ooooo! My son's 1st birthday is quickly approaching and I wanted to make cake ball planets but was searching around for a recipe that wasn't actually a cake ball (sorry but mushing cake crumbs with frosting into a ball sounds gross to me). I'm ttly going to try this instead! Iv'e never had wheat germ before....so I hope it's yummy. Your planets look amazing!
How fun! We have a space-themed party coming up at my son's school and these will be perfect!
So clever and they look great! Your rationalization definitely works for me too. :)

Danny Ellis
Danny Ellis, a 25-year-old native of Portage, isn't allowed to sell the autonomous aerial vehicles, or flying drones, he creates yet, but his company is on track to be among the first market players when — and if — permissible legislation passes. Ellis, CEO of SkySpecs, joined forces with the University of Michigan professors he met on his first day of college to develop a company that has raised more than $100,000 in grants and competitions awards since its conception in 2011. The company is essentially the continuation of his senior design project and now employs more than a dozen people. Ellis is currently working with legislators in Washington, D.C., to be able to launch his company, which will manufacture and sell small, easy-to-use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Ellis believes the products provide a more accurate method for inspections for certain industries, such as railroads or wind turbines. He says UAVs will improve public safety and cut inspection costs, despite a growing distrust of drones among the public due to privacy concerns.
