KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The Knox County Sheriff's Office shared more details Monday on the actions of deputies demoted last week for their behavior during a traffic stop.
Deputy Brian Rehg pulled over a 19-year-old driver for allegedly squealing or spinning his tires on October 16 on Emory Road.
The driver was accused of drag racing, and four more deputies eventually came to the scene.
Four passengers were also told to get out of the car.
An officer asked the driver if he was interested in a proposition that would allow him to only get one ticket instead of three.
The officers got the driver to put his forehead on a baseball bat and spin around. Many people call this "dizzy bat."
Although the audio goes dead, the officers told the driver to run around and touch all four corners of a sheriff's cruiser. The incident was called in at 12:56 a.m. and was over by 1:29 a.m., according to sheriff's office spokeswoman Martha Dooley.
She says officials don't know if the deputies turned off their microphones on purpose, but it's against policy to do so.
The deputies who were demoted are: Jason Acuff, 36, Jeff Bryant, 38, Brad Cox, 31, Brian Rehg, 34, and Alex Slate, 40.
Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones stripped all five officers of their law enforcement powers and demoted them from patrol officers to corrections officers.
The driver was given a speeding ticket at the time. However, since Sheriff Jones said proper procedure wasn't followed he went to the district attorney general who took the matter to court and got the ticket set aside.
Dooley says the deputies will not face suspension or any charges.
The FBI says its Knoxville office is aware of this incident and is taking preliminary investigative steps, but it's not a full-blown investigation.

Funny thing about homework: As kids, we can't wait to grow up and never have to do homework again. Then we grow up and find out -- oh no! -- homework is even more horrific when you have kids of your own!
Why? Well, for a variety of reasons; chief among them: Homework sucks, and your kids don't want to do it anymore than you want to make them do it. Throw hunger, fatigue, and a few infuriatingly newfangled math concepts into the mix and you've got the makings of a nightmare!
In my experience, there are 5 distinct phases to the exasperating experience that is "helping" your child with his homework. Click through -- bet you'll recognize a few!
Image via anthony kelly/Flickr
Maybe I'm one of the select few who enjoy doing homework with their children? I enjoy spending that one on one time with my kid, going over what they learned that day and helping to reinforce those lessons. Education is necessary to succeed in life, and my country doesn't place enough emphasis on that. I want my kids to enjoy learning new things and I want them to want to be smart. I don't want them to think homework is stupid or a waste of time. Same with school. Not too mention, homework isn't that difficult or time consuming! What's a half hour with your kid? Is it that torturous?
Kids shouldn't have homework. They should learn what they need to learn in class, come home and play outside and then get ready for a good night's sleep.
I fully admit giving my daughter the answers on her math sheet one day in first grade. We were running late and she'd forgotten it the night before. She was hysterical that she forgot. I told her what the answers were and she wrote them down. It didn't scar her or hurt her education. It was a one time deal. She's in 10th grade and has been making straight As since then.
Wowl, I must be the mean mom. My son is Autistic and I still won't do it for him. Good or bad, right or wrong, he needs to be responsible for his own work.

First, many members of the privileged group use violence to sustain their dominance. Intimidation of women ranges across the spectrum from wolf-whistling in the street, to office harassment, to rape and domestic assault, to murder by a woman's patriarchal 'owner,' such as a separated husband. Physical attacks are commonly accompanied by verbal abuse of women […] Most men do not attack or harass women; but those who do are unlikely to think themselves deviant. On the contrary they usually feel they are entirely justified, that they are exercising a right. They are authorized by an ideology of supremacy.

creating unique urls
9 April 2013 at 1:17am
hi - i posted this question in migrating but perhaps wrong section so have added below - please can anyone help?
I wonder if anyone can help. We have a site in joomla which is now moving to silverstripe.
The issue is that we seem unable to replicate the urls in the new silverstripe site as nesting and flat urls don't achieve the goal.
The tricky part is that we want to replicate the current urls as they get very good seo status - whilst i know that 301s can be used the consensus seems to be that they have some affect on seo and we just cant risk that.
An example would be this page on current site - http://www.flyingkiwi.com/new-zealand-south-island-tour/. On new site it will still have 1 "parent" navigation items and if we use nested urls or flat urls it still inherists the parent item. Also on some pages on the current site we have 2 parent items but the url doesnt inherit either of these - again this doesnt seem possible in silverstripe.
also the current site uses a mixture of .html and / at the end of urls - can silverstripe replicate this as at present we only have / at the end?
if someone can help would be highly appreciated? Is there no kind of url override plug in as you get in joomla or wordpress?

Hi Neil-
For your flat-level pages like the link you mentioned, you could set up a Redirector Page type at the root level (new-zealand-south-island-tour) that would forward to your new, nested page. If you're set against using a 301 redirect then you'd want to leave a regular page at the root level and manipulate your menus instead.
As for the .html pages, try editing your .htaccess to redirect to your new pages.

301 redirects are always your best bet in terms of SEO please see http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection as well as googles own best practice suggestions http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ca/2008/04/best-practices-when-moving-your-site.html
Can you're site take an SEO hit from 301 redirect? Sure. But its only temporaory until the google bot sees the redirect and assigns the old weight the new URL. I've done this many times and I've even seen sites increas in rank becauseo the cleaner url structure.

are there any seo penalties with a Redirector Page type at the root level as this would help with a number of scenerios (also is that any different to having a 301 from the old url to the new page - better or worse)???
also, if i have tourx but it has 2 parent items in the nav (for example big tours and cheap tours) is there anyway of the url displaying as xxx.com/bigtours/tourx rather than xxx.com/bigtours/cheaptours/tourx??? this doesnt appear to be an option as neither totally nested or flat? does sliverstripe not just have a url rewrite plug in?
thanks guys

befor you know it paid class changes will be allowed
and why not?
Money is money. Just getting the $15/mo is nothing compared to the cash they can haul in letting people who pay for the game actually... do what they want.
If someone really wanted to change their Warrior into a Shaman one month, then pay $20 to change back to a Warrior, why not? They're still going to have to gear, they're going to have to learn how to play, etc. This just gives Blizzard more cash, and players more desire to... Keep Paying Blizzard Money, which despite most people's hopes and dreams of killing e-dragons, is Blizzard's #1 priority.
Keep the customer happy. Customers are happy whenever they can do more. Race and Class changes, or at least paying to start a L55+ are only a matter of time and a Vice President of the company demanding they increase the income even more... which at 12 million subs is like bleeding a stone. Gotta find new revenue streams!
Class changes won't happen.
People will jump ship when a nurf bat hits, and slide over to the current OP flavor of the week. Ratings say "Druids are #1 in Arena"? Change your Shaman to a Druid. What happens to Warlock or Paladin mounts when you change? Can a Hunter ride around on a Charger? (And before you say that mounts are spells and would be lost like any other spell, my Charger was a quest reward, just like Mage robes or Warrior Weapons.)
Race changes are a bit more practical, but won't happen, again for many the same reasons. What happens if you roll a BE Paladin, or a Draenei Shaman? Racials? (See Flavor of the Month above). When a character hits 80, swap to human for the rep racial?

My raid team sticks to 2 night per week, 4 hours total. It has been our policy for a couple years now. It works really well for thirtysomethings with spouses, kids, and jobs. We're a casual raiding guild, so are not nearly as successful as guilds like Full Spectrum, but we've done enough to prove that the model works. Hopefully, Oatz's example can be motivation for my guild to keep pushing ourselves in the limited time we have.

Wonderful time
We had a great time at Kiddaboo Cottage. We were there for our wedding on the beach but had to move it inside due to inclement weather. There was plenty of room for our 20 guests, who were also staying at the home. A great time was had by all. The home is more than comfortable and beautiful. The rental company answered any needs promptly and were very helpful. The walk to the beach is less than five minutes and the home is located in a cute well-established neighborhood. The beach access does not allow for rental umbrellas/chairs because the beach is quite narrow. You have to walk down about a block to rent umbrellas and chairs--not really an issue for us. There really isn't a gulf view though and there also isn't really a game room. We tried to find the foosball table to no avail. Be aware that pool heating does cost $50 daily. The pool area is great and the owner supplies some pool toys for the kids and a few chairs for the beach! We would definitely recommend this property and stay again!

Please include a 24 hr cricket channel (like Willow TV). Cricket is widely followed by people from UK, Holland, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, South Asia, etc. We would LOVE to have a 24 hour cricket channel. Please!!
Is there a chance that this channel might be added in the near future? The world cup is in Feb 2011 and this channel is going to carry it.
Ssimhadri - please cast your vote at this link: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Share-Your-Ideas-with-Verizon/24-Hour-Cricket-Channel/idi-p/250531. I had put in a request as well last month. I have casted a vote on your idea.
Please include a cricket channel in the FIOS package. Willow TV before the ICC Cricket world cup 2011. People are ready to pay for that. I simply cannot understand why FIOS is missing this business oppurtunity ? Why not serve the customer when someone is ready to pay. I cannot install Dishtv in my house because of the society rules where i am contracted till end of next year. here you have to take verizon. I would have left this place for the live telecast. Please include the option of willow TV or any cricket channel. People are not asking this for free.,they are ready to pay.
Hi pamu77, I did vote on your link. I really really hope we will have a cricket channel ASAP.
The cricket world cup would be fine for now until you can sort out the logistic for a more permanent cricket channel
Please add cricket channel. There are lots of Asian customers are in Verizon. We all are interested in watching cricket. Most of us are watching world cup in internet. It will be nice, if we get a channel in fios network to watch.
Indeed. Please add a cricket channel!!
Are there any chances of seeing cricket on FIOS?
I see many request for a cricket channel, and its been acknowledged for a long time now and has not been added yet.
Is there a chance of getting a Cricket Channel? it been more than an year since this was acknowledged and we have been waiting since for updates...

Won't someone please think of the (fabulously well-to-do) children?
The Wall Street Journal had an article providing a fairly thorough breakdown of the new tax policies that will now be in effect due to the "fiscal cliff" agreement reached by congress. The article itself wasn't too bad, really. In fact, it was mostly an objective piece. However, it did include one little thing that I thought was worth highlighting, and that was the comic that accompanied the article [above].
Yes, in that comic, every single one of those families makes a six figure income, the lowest being $180 thousand, and yet because of the new tax hikes imposed by Obama, they all appear as though he ran over the family dog.
Yes, the terribly, terribly well-off will have to struggle to make ends meet, living a blue diamonds lifestyle on a yellow diamonds budget. Look at how sad those children are, knowing that their parents will only be able to afford to take them on one trip to Bermuda this year. Does your heart not break? Are you made of stone? Good God, what is wrong with you?
You might think this was the silliest use of children you'd see today, but you'd be wrong. The wingnut Jawa Report looked at President Obama signing executive orders reducing gun violence and decided it was the worst thing ever. You know who else liked kids? HITLER, THAT'S WHO!!
Thank goodness we have the wingnut media to put these sort of things into perspective. Otherwise, I'd never know that the children of millionaires were living under overpasses or that governing for the benefit of children makes you Hitler.
What we found in our analysis was that a staggering 93 percent of all occurrences [of climate stories] in the last six months in the prime time news of Fox News were misleading occurrences of climate science. Okay, for the Wall Street Journal opinion section in the last year, we found a surprising 81 percent of the occurrences were misleading. And of the accurate ones, these were all letters to the editor that were submitted in response to misrepresentations in editorials or other letters. So, a broad swath of News Corporation viewers and readership are being misled about the science.

Another gorgeous day. Going to have to do something about all the leaves soon, though. I actually kind of like raking, if the weather's nice. A good excuse to get outside and just do a pleasant and undemanding chore. It's all very zen. Now here's the news…
In the Massachusetts Senate race, Republican incumbent Scott Brown decides that being a dick is a real smart move. He might consider a strategy that involves more friend-making and less enemy-making in the future, since the 'baggers plan to cut him loose.
Republicans want President Obama's blackberry messages in a Solyndra probe. It would be poetic justice for the president to tell them, "What George W. Bush said."
Scientific idiocy in the pages of the Wall Street Journal? Imagine my shock.
Lindsey Graham plays the victim card on Rick Perry's behalf. It seems that you can't get away with racism in the south anymore and this is a terrible, terrible thing. Or something. Serious, I can't make heads or tails of this argument.
Jobless claims seem to be holding pretty steady, hovering "near levels normally associated with improving labor market conditions." Economists said this is "yet another sign the ailing economy was not falling back into recession."
Westboro Baptist Hate Cult are now officially clowns.
The health insurance industry jumps aboard the campaign to save healthcare reform.

Finally, Bank of America's decision to charge a fee for debit cards is beginning to look Netflixian in its stupidity. The bank's website may have actually been brought down several times by all the customers rushing to close their accounts. Of course BoA won't confirm this, other than to say that traffic has been heavy lately.

"Sarah Palin Appearance at Tea Party Rally in Iowa 'No Longer Confirmed.'"
There was going to be a big tea party rally in Iowa Saturday. Or maybe there isn't. Who even knows?
See, here's what happened: Sarah Palin was going to show up for this thing, but then she found out Christine O'Donnell was going to be there too. Christine's selling this big important book nobody wants, so she's like all over the place lately. So Sarah sees that Christine's on the bill and she's all like, "No way! She's younger and prettier and — let's face it — crazier than I am! No way am I going to get upstaged by that witch!"
Which is totally unfair, because Christine is famously not a witch.
Anyway the 'baggers had to boot Christine or Sarah wasn't going to show. That was final. So they did. Or maybe they didn't. It's all very confusing. Sarah's saying that the organizers have lied to her. I guess she found out that Christine was going to pop out of a cake and surprise everyone with sparklers or something while Sarah did her big dance routine. I'm guessing. I don't have the details. Just piecing stuff together from the info I have, like Sherlock Holmes.
Of course, Sarah cancelled. And then she didn't cancel. And then her appearance was "on hold." She might even throw together a different shindig someplace else just to show up that snotty little witch. Who knows? It's all very indefinite and up in the air and crazy right now. And the 'bagger group, Tea Party of America, is already out $100,000 whether anything happens or not.
You know, it's organizational skills like this that got us the S&P downgrade. These people couldn't put together a peanut butter sandwich without incurring a death toll. (Wall Street Journal)

Stories to Watch: 8/13/11
Rained all night and it is humid. I went out last night for a bit during a break in the rain and you could actually see the steam in the air. I walked into an air-conditioned store and my glasses fogged up. No foolin'. Now here's the news…
Michele Bachmann is definitely not winning friends in the media. At an event in Iowa, CNN's Don Lemon gets pushed around, which brings to mind Bachmann campaign staffers manhandling ABC's Brian Ross about a month ago. This is beginning to look like a habit — and not a good one.
Of course, Bachmann was in Iowa for the Ames Straw Poll today. The cable networks are giving the poll wall-to-wall coverage, making it the most important near-meaningless event of the week. It's a poll of self-selected respondents, like an online poll. The words "not scientific" should be plastered all over the coverage. It may weed out a candidate or two who never should've run in the first place, but that's about it.
Norman Podhoretz is a jackass. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he whines about the right being "attacked" by liberals — then he calls the president an "anti-American leftist." When he gets "attacked" (i.e., criticized) for that, he'll probably whine some more. It's becoming a running theme on this blog because it's true; modern conservatives reflexively play the victim card. Look at Sarah Palin. Her entire argument seems to be that she deserves to be a presidential candidate because the press is so mean to her. It's always about skinned knees and personal grievance.
David Axelrod "attacks" Rick Perry on national teevee! Oh, the horror…
And the brutality keeps coming as Joe Scarborough "attacks" Michele Bachmann.
Rick Perry makes it official.
Sarah Palin unveils her plan to give herself a heart attack.
Finally, this is great. After Standard & Poor's said that Republican default-denialism contributed to it's downgrade of America's credit rating, GOPers now say they never said that default wouldn't happen or that it wouldn't be so bad. Call it default-denialism-denialism. But Brian Beutler has a list of names and details and… Well, the GOP is slinging bullshit here.
News Roundup for 7/18/11
-Headline of the Day-
"News Corp.-owned media outlets say people are overreacting to News Corp. scandal."
Have you heard about the latest "scandal of the month?" Pffft! Something about hacking and phones and who even cares? It's all way too high-tech for you to understand and it's just liberal hippies attacking conservative media anyway, so you should probably just ignore the whole thing, all right? Now shut up and eat your Casey Anthony "news."
That's News Corp's take on the scandal rocking a little company called… Let's see here… "News Corp." Tempest in a teapot. The Wall Street Journal has an editorial about how everyone's blowing everything out of proportion. "We… trust that readers can see through the commercial and ideological motives of our competitor-critics," writes the WSJ editorial board. "The Schadenfreude is so thick you can't cut it with a chainsaw."
Oh poor News Corp!
But it was Fox News that really brought the stupid (a safe bet in any situation), with a segment on their morning show that's such unbelievable bullshit that you wish there was a stronger word for bullshit. Fox & Friends not only wondered what the big deal was, but through very cautious wording, left the impression that it was News of the World that was hacked, instead of being the hacker.
WSJ complains that Murdoch detractors "want their readers to believe, based on no evidence, that the tabloid excesses of one publication somehow tarnish thousands of other News Corp. journalists across the world."
Oh, you guys are providing us with plenty of evidence. I point you again to the brainless Fox & Friends and their lame attempt to confuse the issue.
If they're typical of your "thousands of other News Corp. journalists across the world," then you've got nothing worth defending. (Salon's War Room)
-The things that really matter-
The deadline for raising the debt ceiling is bearing down on us, so House Republicans decided it was time to take on the scourge of curly light bulb last week. Because nothing in the world is more important than giving Americans the freedom to buy crappy, inefficient, money-leaking light bulbs if they so choose. And so, the GOP's message is this:

"Sarah Palin Movie Boasts Solid 0% Rating On Rotten Tomatoes."
That means no good independent review anywhere. Worst. Movie. Ever. (Wonkette)
Stories to Watch: 7/15/11
Blogging was light today because I had to fix a garage door opener. I narrowed the problem down to the sensors, then found out the manufacturer doesn't exist anymore. Finally, I found a universal replacement part on Amazon. Until it gets here, the remote is useless for closing the door. You've got to hold the button in inside the garage. At least it works at all. Now here's the news…
We've already covered Michele Bachmann's husband's assertion that a taped interview featuring him making bigoted statements has been doctored. The blogger who posted the clip begs to differ. "Flat out, I didn't doctor a damn thing," says Ken Avidor. "If I did doctor it, why would I have a link to the original podcast, which is no longer up?"
Avidor's solution to the controversy; "Marcus could get a hold of that original podcast. Just call up his friends at the station." Ball's in your court, Marcus. Clear your good name or leave everyone to wonder why it is exactly that you can't clear your good name.
More heads roll in the Murdoch scandal. Les Hinton, the head of Dow Jones — which in turn owns Murdoch property The Wall Street Journal — resigns. Let the human sacrifices begin.
Speaking of Murdoch, Media Matters looks at the way cable news networks are covering the phone-hacking case and finds that, not surprisingly, Fox News' coverage was the worst. Fox mentioned the story only 30 times in the past nine days. Surprisingly, supposedly super-commie network MSNBC came in second worst, although with more than twice as many segments (71), and CNN had the most coverage, with 108 segments.
President Obama plays the populist card in the debt limit showdown, while Harry Reid continues to prove himself a hopelessly inept leader.
You've probably heard that Sarah Palin's big debut for her movieUndefeated was a ghost town. Turns out that reporting that fact was the worst thing ever, because it's unfair to measure her movie's success on the opening weekend of the final Harry Pottermovie. Which begs the question; what kind of a moron schedules the release of their film on the opening weekend of the final Harry Potter movie?
Red State's Erick Erickson once again demonstrates why people think he's a halfwit.
Yesterday, Gallup reported that a "generic Republican" led Obama by eight points. Today, Gallup reports that 58% of GOP voters can't name any candidate they hope will win. Newt Gingrich — who's currently a million bucks in the hole — might just change his name to Generic Republican.
Finally, Rupert Murdoch is very, very sorry.
News Roundup for 4/21/11
Average Texan
-Headline of the day-
"Texas Gov. Perry Orders Up Rain Prayers."
Maybe you've been getting a lot of rain lately, but Texas has been dry as a bone. So something needs to be done (short of some sort of water management plan). Science predicts global warming, so clearly there are no answers there — on to hocus-pocus. Like the Great Georgia then-Gov. Sonny Purdue before him, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking citizens to pray for rain.
Perry procliams "the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal and robust way of life."
Here's my question: if Texans can just pray their problems away and set the state right, what the hell do they need a governor for? (Wall Street Journal)

In Beja went discovered the restaurant of Chef Jorge Loução, one that he has held since 2005, and that has minted its place in the city's restaurant scene, serving in a careful way the traditional flavors of the Alentejo cuisine in a prime location. It was in the restaurant Espelho d'água that we tasted the Octopus and Shrimp Skewers.
Surf and Turf: Pulo do Lobo
In Beja we visited a restaurant that now has 17 years of activity, serving the best seafood and traditional dishes from the Alentejo region. It was in the restaurant Pulo do Lobo that this week we tasted one of their most wanted specialties: the Surf and Turf.
Pork tenderloin with red wine reduction and apple purée: Gula do Meko
Close to Lisbon, (but at the same time so very far from the chaotic city!), we visited to a project that has been for a little over a year in a spectacular location on the beach of the Rio da Prata, at Meco, the restaurant Gula of Meko. Very distinct from their competition and offering unique dishes with careful presentation, as it was the case of the dish we tasted: the Pork Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction and Apple.
Cataplana Fish Stew: 2 Irmãos
This week we went to a restaurant whose history began 27 years ago in the city of Lagos and has been, since 2006, in the hands of its current owners, which have continued its tradition as a meeting place for the inhabitants of Lagos as well as captivated tourists, domestic and foreign, there finding the best and freshest fish and seafood, in an extraordinary location. In the restaurant 2 Irmãos we tasted the Cataplana Fish Stew.
Grouper, Snapper and Monkfish Cataplana Stew: Mar à Vista
In Sagres, the southwestern tip of the Algarve, we went to a restaurant that has over three decades of activity in the hands of the Neves family. Always serving only the best fish and seafood that our waters have to offer. It was in the restaurant at Mar À Vista that this week we tasted a real southern Portuguese specialty: the Cataplana in Grouper, snapper and monkfish Stew.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm currently playing with the level 70 tier-6 hunter on the 2.2 ptr, and tamed a red Blades Edge Mountains raptor at level 67 to test the new "dash" abilty on it. Since that raptor comes with no skills whatsoever, I'll have to get it at least to "unruly" to gain some training points for "dash 3″.
5 hours have passed so far, plus 2 hours pet feeding without mob grinding, and the raptor ist still at loyality level 1 (rebellious). It was tamed at level 67 and is now 68.5. The mobs I'm grinding are the level 67-68 raptors, spiders and wind serpents in the Blades Edge Mountains, so it should have leveled by now. What's going on here?

The Story Behind Mom Makeover Machine Tonique Fitness Method
Written on August 9, 2012 at 11:44 am , by Karla Walsh
In our July/August issue, we shared Weng Funn Chen's amazing Fitness Fix story (you can also find it here), highlighting her journey to gain energy and find more balance in her hectic life as a mom. One key to her success: A strong relationship with her motivating trainer, Sylwia Wiesenberg, who also happened to be a neighbor. There's no slacking off when your trainer might catch you walking from the convenience store with a pint of ice cream!
When Chen had so much success following Wiesenberg's signature Tonique Fitness method, we wanted to learn more about it. Here are three tips from Weisenberg so you can try out Tonique (a name that is a mash-up of toning and unique) at home.
Take the first step. Wiesenberg isn't picky about how you get moving at first, she just wants you to start. "It's less important what you do, as long as you move," she says. Something like climbing the stairs to your office or to your apartment, like Chen did, can make a big impact.
Don't forget about your behind. "I love squats and lunges, plenty of them, and in every direction. By building strong glutes you're building a strong core, which can help you run and bike faster and push yourself harder at the gym," Wiesenberg says. She prefers doing high repetitions with body weight to build endurance, strength and balance. Click here to learn how to try three of her favorite lower body moves that helped Chen score a stronger backside!
Build on a good thing. One of Wiesenberg's goals is to motivate her clients to try new activities, whether that means running a race or going for a hike. "I want them to get inspired to add new sports and fitness methods beyond Tonique—my goal is to help them want to move," she says. "Once you experience the unique feeling of truly being fit, you will never want to go back to where you came from."
Find out more about Tonique at toniquefitness.com and find YouTube videos of signature moves at toniquewoman.com. And stay tuned: Expect two new DVDs this fall, plus, Wiesenberg has a book and a TV show in the works!

Take Your Lunges to the Next Level
Written on June 20, 2011 at 1:17 pm , by Karla Walsh
Last week, I was lucky enough to join in a group training session with star trainer Brett Hoebel, who helped contestants on last season's Biggest Loser ranch drop hundreds of pounds. And let me tell you, he knows how to make a person sweat!
The team from C9 by Champion, Target's super-chic and affordable fitness wear line, organized the event and let a team of editors try Hoebel's capoeira and kickbox fusion class. (Check out the cute tank I sported in class at left —can you believe it's less than $15?)
At the end of the heart-pumping workout that included plenty of squats, jumping jacks, punches and kicks, Hoebel led us through a quick circuit that he promised would help shed pounds if you stick with it. The entire routine was effective, but I had a "light bulb moment" during the lunge section.
Lunges are normally one of my favorite exercises because they challenge the large muscle groups (in other words, they burn plenty of calories and increase your heart rate!) while strengthening your lower body. So I was pumped when Brett taught the class a few tricks to kick my go-to move up a bit. Try them today:
- Level 1. Perform a traditional lunge: Step forward with one leg into a lunge position, keeping your front knee behind your toes, and bring foot back to start. Switch legs and repeat.
- Level 2. Space it out: Complete the same lunge motion, but do it while stepping over the width of a yoga mat (drop the front heel just past the front edge of the mat while keeping the back toe behind the back edge) and lightly tap your back knee on the mat at the bottom of the lunge. Try to step completely over the mat—doing so will ensure that you're taking a large enough step. Bring foot back to start, switch legs and repeat.
- Level 3. Lunge over an imaginary hill: Continue lunging over the yoga mat, but this time, imagine that you're stepping over a small (approximately six inch) hill in the middle of the mat. This will force you to lift your foot up before gently lowering it down in front of the mat—increasing the leg burning powers. Tap your back knee, like in level two, and bring foot back to start. Switch legs and repeat.
Make any of these variations harder: Hold one dumbbell in each hand.
Do the level that suits you for 30 seconds, take a 30 second break, and repeat three more times.

Indon rice scientist wins Dioscoro Umali award for agricultural development
- Details
- Category: Agri-Commodities
08 Jan 2014
- Written by Marvyn N. Benaning / Correspondent
A SCIENTIST and former agriculture minister widely regarded as the architect of Indonesia's rice self-sufficiency has won the 2013 Dioscoro L. Umali Award for Agricultural Development.
Dr. Sjarifudin Baharsjah is credited for increasing rice yield in Indonesia through the Rice Mass Intensification Program, thus helping the country achieve rice self-sufficiency.
The award is bestowed annually by the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Research and Graduate Study in Agriculture (Searca), based in Los Baños, Laguna, and headed by Director General Dr. Gil Saguiguit Jr., and the Dioscoro L. Umali Foundation.
Umali was a well-known Filipino agriculturist, dean of the University of the Philippines College of Agriculture in Los Baños, and a scientist who helped immensely in developing agricultural research and development.
Saguiguit will lead the ceremonies, which are slated to start at 9 a.m., and welcome the guests, led by National Economic and Development Authority Director General Arsenio Balisacan, who will also speak.
Nelia T. Gonzalez, president of the Dioscoro L. Umali Foundation, will discuss the awards.
Searca senior fellow Dr. Geronimo L. Collado will introduce the awardee, while Saguiguit, Dr. William Padolina and Gonzalez will confer the award.
Dr. Sjarifudin Baharsjah was also a member of the board of trustees of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the US-based International Food Policy Research Institute.
In 2001 he was elected chairman of the IRRI board.
From 1997 to 2001, he served as independent chairman of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Baharsjah will be conferred the Dioscoro L. Umali Award on January 16 at the New World Hotel in Makati City at 10:45 a.m., after which he will deliver his lecture.
He has been cited for his significant contributions to agricultural and rural development in Indonesia, particularly his introduction of agribusiness and agro-industry to promote agricultural development in his country.

I think it would be great to have some pure CC items (consumables) in the mall.
Maybe landmines, claymores, sacks of dog sh*t, banana peels, oil slicks/tar pits, etc. Certainly nothing OP, but something with the damage output a little less than Teemo's mushrooms. But maybe make it so they can't be within range of an live friendly tower.
Senior Member
Landmines would be the **** xD
Zax Underdark
....Just no.....just ****ing no
It would b hylarious but stupid overall
Hard CC on items is strictly OP. Anything stronger than a slow WILL NOT happen.

I agree on this idea of special traps, but really, bananana peels, dog ****? Are you 3 years old or do you just act like you are?

We are using Amazon.com Product Ads and have around 150,000 products. Unfortunately, every time we upload our feed Amazon's system hits our server with 150,000 requests. There probably isn't anything wrong with the 150,000 requests except that their bot sends them too fast and our IIS7.5 webserver eventually cannot respond to anything until it is recycled.
While I have had to block their IP address to prevent losing business, I am looking for another solution to throttle the requests so other requests take priority over Amazon.
I have tried working this out with Amazon's engineers, but all they could come up with was to split the file into multiple files. That really didn't help all that much as their bot still sends the requests at too high of a rate for our server to respond.
So, is it possible to lower the priority of these requests so they yield to real traffic?
I am working this from the other end as well and discovered what could be the cause to my ASP.NET application woes. This thread on StackOverflow sounds similar to what I am seeing - the server still has plenty of memory (> 2GB) and the CPU is around 70%. However, the application slows down and eventually quits responding after a sustained period of high requests.
That said, it may be tricky to track this down being that I am using practically everything in the list in that post and then some. It would still be helpful to find a way to configure the server to lower the priority of these requests in the meantime if there is such a thing.

Has Anyone Had Long Term Results?
- quilter55
- 1 year ago
My biggest fear is I keep hearing that if you put weight back on it won't go to the areas that were cool sculpted but elsewhere. I am pretty distributed evenly when loosing or gaining. I don't want to all of a sudden have huge thighs because I cool sculted my stomach and arms. Any comments?
Comments (2)
you will not notice much difference, except you will have irregularities under your skin of the abdomen, like after a bad liposuction job. It does remove fat randomly and very unevenly. I wonder if I should have more treatments done to achieve more regular result or do lipo to correct the damage done by crio without waisting any more money?
- Reply
That would probably be true, since, as an adult you don't new fat cells, but instead existing ones expand. That's why it is so important to maintain your weight after having this done.

Would It Be So Wrong?8 Reviews
Monica and Gerard spend the night together but will love be enough
"Man, is my fucking apartment trashed" Ray complained. "I'm never going to get it cleaned up." He shook his head "About the time I get it back together we will be leaving on tour."
"When do you leave?" Monica asked. She knew Gerard would be leaving again but had been trying to put it out of her mind. Everything would change when he left. She didn't want to think about it.
"Our first concert is on the 3rd of January in Chicago. So we will be leaving on the 2nd. Tour bus life here we come again." Ray laughed, "at times I actually miss it."
Gerard added, "His apartment right now looks like our tour bus will look as soon as we get on. Man is it a shit hole. Not that it starts out that way but it just happens."
They sat and talked over all the crazy times they had had on past tours. Monica found their stories fascinating. These five men had more excitement in the past five years than most people had in a lifetime. And thru it all they stayed best of friends. No not really friends, they were all brothers.
Bob took Kara to her friend's house and looked so unhappy when he returned. Monica was beginning to believe that they were much closer than she had originally believed. She tried not to worry but it wasn't easy.
Around midnight they finally decided to call it a night. Gerard walked everyone outside to their cars. Monica was picking up the ashtrays to dump them when Gerard walked back inside. "Lots of snow out there." He casually walked behind Monica and before she realized what he was doing he had put snow down her back.
"Crap that's cold, Gerard" she jumped and tried to dislodge the icy mix from under her sweater. "I'm gonna get even, Way. Just know it now. You have to sleep sometime."
He caught her to him and hugged "Oh then I guess I will have to sleep with you so you can't just sneak up on me. Besides I wouldn't want you to be all alone you know with the girls gone and all." He nuzzled her neck with his lips that were still icy.
Monica sighed, "They may be gone but your mother is still in the house."
Gerard laughed "Come on Monica, I'm pretty sure mom wouldn't be shocked if we shared the same bed. Both adults here. Besides she has been asleep for hours."
The thought of being in the same bed as Gerard was making her heart beat faster and faster. God, this is what she wanted so badly. Would it be so wrong to spend the night with this man? They may not have a future together but they could have tonight.
Monica surprised him by kissing his neck and whispering, "Give me a few minutes before you come down." She could see he was surprised and very pleased. His breath quickened.
"Honey I will wait" his voice was so raspy "its hard..."" He pressed his body to hers, "so hard but I will wait"
She could feel just how hard it was. Her head fell back and she exposed her neck to him. He kissed her throat and she shuttered. Her voice was no more than a rough whisper "I'm not sorry at all its hard" She broke away "soon" was all she said before heading downstairs to the bedroom.
Monica got to the bedroom and turned on the small light by the bed. Her mind was trying to stop her but her body's need was much stronger. She quickly changed out of her clothes but then started to panic. Slipping on her nightgown she looked at the bed and all her fears came rushing back. She was older, she had had two children. Her body was not perfect. Would he look at her and see the imperfections? So many beautiful young girls would die to trade places with her. Why would he choose her?" She simply sat on the bed and tried to think. Ten minutes later he knocked on the door, She wanted this so much, more than she had ever wanted anything. She invited him in.
Gerard took one look at her and knew her thoughts were in turmoil. He closed the door and smiled. "Honey, it's going to be OK. I don't want you to do anything you aren't ready for." He walked over to the bed and sat down. Taking her hand he took it to his lips and gently kissed her fingertips.
Her eyes narrowed with desire. The man was simply gorgeous. She closed her eyes a moment then spoke "I'm scared. I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I've only been with one man in my life and evidently I disappointed him often" There were tears in her eyes. "My body isn't perfect, you have seen my back I'm scarred."
He silenced her with a kiss. With his lips softly brushing hers he spoke, "You are the most perfect woman I have ever known. You are beautiful inside and out. Have you stopped to think that maybe I have the same fears? I want to be perfect for you. What if I'm not?"
She pulled back slightly to look into his eyes "You are the most beautiful man I have ever known, inside and out." Her fingers traced his face, his lips. He opened his mouth and captured one of her fingers gently sucking it. She pulled it from his mouth and placed her lips on his. Her passion was building and the kiss was almost brutal.
He stood pulling her with him. Quickly he pulled the covers back and she laid down. She watched through hooded eyes as he removed his clothes. Her breath caught at the sight of him completely naked. Laying down he pulled her to him. "Can I take this off you?" he whispered, his fingers caressing her gown. She simply nodded and he slipped it off. The feel of her bare flesh on his was sweet agony.
"Monica if this isn't what you want, I will understand but you have to tell me now. We are so close to the point of no return and honey I just need to know you want this as much as I do. Tell me you want this man beside you, not the man the world sees on the stage. I need to know you want me," he pleaded.
She rose up on one elbow to gaze down at him, "I don't want the man beside me" she whispered. The hurt in his eyes was quickly replaced with hot desire when she added, "I want the man inside me" She kissed him with more passion than she had ever felt. Her lips slowly traveled down his neck to his chest. She wanted to kiss every inch of him. Throwing the blankets off him her lips burned a trail still lower. Her long hair swept across him like a satin blanket. Her breath, hot on his skin caused him to shutter. Slowly so slowly her lips finally reached his rock hard erection. Her tongue slowly moved up and down then circled him. Her mouth welcomed him. He was so hard, so ready. Monica raised her head to look at him.
He opened his eyes and smiled "Sugar, you are such sweet torture. Now its your turn." He pulled her back up so they were eye level then rolled her over so he was looking down at her. He cupped both her breasts in his palms. His hot mouth closed over one nipple then the other sucking it strongly into his mouth. She cried out in pleasure as she arched her back. Suddenly his mouth left her breast and his tongue traveled down her stomach going lower to the very core of her womanhood. "Fuck honey you are so wet, so hot." He began to slowly lick the hot moisture. Her hips rose to meet his thrusting tongue. She was so close but she held back. The sweet building tension was almost too much to take. She slipped from beneath him and in one swift move straddled his body. "Fuck me" was the expression he moaned.
Monica has never felt so sexy. They way he responded to her, his language, it made her body throb. She smiled seductively, "Oh yes I will fuck you Gerard" she purred. Slowly she lowered herself on to him. As he slid into her she arched her back and began moving on him, hungry for him. His hands reached up to cup her breasts gently pinching the nipples. The heat, the desire building. He knew she was trying to hold back.
"Let go, let go," he commanded. One final thrust and he exploded. She could feel his release pour into her so hot. Her body responded as waves of pleasure swept over her. The feeling was more intense than she had ever known. He pulled her down to his chest and held her while they both shook.
They lay together entwined, hearts pounding. Neither wanted to move to break the spell. Monica never knew it could be this way. She had never felt such a deep, sweet release. Gerard's fingers once again found her nipple and circled. He just needed to touch her. Gerard looked over at her and smiled. "So many nights I laid in this bed believing I would always be alone. Sometimes I would think it would be best if I just went to sleep and never woke up."
Monica looked into his eyes. He seemed lost in thought "Back then I would never have believed how my life would change. It scares me Monica. I have everything I have ever wanted and I'm afraid. What the fuck did I ever do to deserve this?"
"Gerard, I know. I'm scared too. I have never felt t his way before. I didn't think I would ever feel this way."
He sighed sitting up "Monica I have to say this, I love you. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone." He wanted to add so much more but that thought of driving her away stopped him.
Tears were in Monica's eyes. Her head told her to tell him she was sorry, she didn't love him. Her heart told her to tell him the truth. Her heart won "I love you Gerard" she whispered against his lips.

This is my blogsite, so I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped. I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. Many people tend to misjudge me as a sophisticated snob guy, but in fact I am the opposite one, so it is reasonable to draw closer to me.

Anna Maria Island representatives urge opposition to offshore drilling
Date: October 28, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Representatives from the cities of Holmes Beach, Anna Maria and Bradenton Beach agreed to introduce resolutions opposing offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico at the Coalition of Barrier Island Elected Officials meeting Wednesday, Oct. 21, after hearing from Longboat Key Vice Mayor Bob Siekmann and Commissioner Gene Jaleski.
One day earlier, the Manatee County Commission voted 7-0 to pass a resolution opposing oil drilling in state Gulf of Mexico waters.
The Longboat Key Town Commission unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to drilling Oct. 5.
The state legislature could discuss drilling off the west coast of Florida as early as November.
Siekmann said that, in the past, discussions of offshore drilling focused on Florida's entire coastline, something that many people opposed.
"Now, it's the west coast of Florida versus everyone else," Siekmann said. "Right now, we bear all the risks. It's our beaches and our property values."
Jaleski discussed the potential environmental impact of offshore drilling.
"There are dead zones all over the Gulf where they have done this stuff," he said.

The next time you see an SEC promo or public service announcement that is related to sportsmanship or conduct, you can pretty much laugh and change the channel. All they are doing is playing lipservice to the notion that they care…
Why do I care?
Its simple really…their lack of willingness to discipline Nick Fairley leads directly to their inability to discipline the UGA players who left the bench during the brawl at the end of the UGA vs Auburn game.
They didn't discipline late hitting, dirty playing, fight inducing Fairley because to do so would further hinder a Ted Roof led Auburn defense that already leaks like a sieve. (GT fans can understand this…that defense cost Joe Hamilton the Heisman in 1999 and the Jackets a shot at a national title…)
And the SEC needs Auburn to beat Alabama because Auburn is the last (and only) chance that the SEC has at putting a team in the 2010 national title game.
So…since the SEC sat on its hands regarding Nick Fairley, they no longer have any capital with regards to dealing with all the UGA players who left the bench area during that brawl.
An Auburn fan board captured the details nicely…
Lets start with a quote of the NCAA rules:
NCAA Rule 9-4-5-1-c:
during either half, coaches or substitutes shall not leave their team area to participate in a fight, nor shall they participate in a fight in their team area.
PENALTY—15 yards from the succeeding spot, plus first down for Team B fouls if the first down is not in conflict with other rules. Disqualification for the remainder of the game and for the next game [S7, S27 or S38, and S47]. For fights that occur in the last game of a season, coaches and substitutes with eligibility remaining will serve fight-related suspensions during the first game of the next season for which they are eligible.
That's right…disqualification for the remainder of the game and for the next game…
So what UGA players would have been at risk? What UGA players left the bench area and should be suspended against GT?
Instigating player:
61, Ben Jones
Players on the field involved in the play:
3, Washuan Ealey
7, Orson Charles
8, A.J. Green
12, Tavarres King
14, Huston Mason
16, Kris Durham
61, Ben Jones
60, Clint Boiling
71, Cordy Glenn
77, Trinton Sturdivant
78, Josh Davis
Players on the field NOT involved in the play:
2, Brandon Boykin
5, Blake Sailors
6, Logan Gray
10, Jordan Love
13, Drew Butler
15, Marlon Brown
16, Josh Murray
17, Rantavious Wooten
20, Derek Owens
23, Jakar Hamilton
24, Ken Malcome
25, Vance Cuff
28, Israel Troupe
33, Chase Vasser
35, Michael Gilliard
37, Akeem Hebron
38, Marcus Dowtin
39, Dustin Royston
46, Alex Ogletree
47, Chad Gloer
48, Kosta Vavlas
50, Darryl Gamble
51, Akeem Dent
63, Chris Davis
64, Dallas Lee
70, A.J. Harmon
72, Kenarious Gates
81, Aron White
83, Cornelius Washington
85, Derrick Lott
86, Derek Rich
89, Bruce Figgins
Yup…that second list is all the guys who left the bench and who should be suspended based on NCAA rules…if the SEC had the "stones" to do it.
Don't believe the list?
Check out the image at this link….UGA Players Leave Bench.
That second list of players "not involved in the play" is the list of guys who should be sitting out Tech vs UGA tomorrow.
But like I said earlier…the SEC is protecting its investment.
They desperately want Auburn to beat Alabama and go to the national title game.
And they desperately want UGA to gain bowl eligibility so that they can collect payouts there as well.
Its all about the almighty dollar in the SEC…sportsmanship has nothing to do with it.
Amusingly enough…I'm watching Auburn vs Alabama as I write this blog…Fairley has already been called for one personal foul that extended a Bama TD drive and the Tide is trying to make the score 24-0 midway through the second quarter.
The SEC's best laid plans of putting Auburn in the national title game look to be hanging by a very slim thread and the Jackets will have a chance to knock UGA out of their bowl bid tomorrow as well.
Tomorrow I'll be screaming "Go Jackets!" but today I'm feeling a little bit of "Roll Tide!"

Ted Roof didn't cost you a national title in 1999. The fact that Joe Hamilton and half of the football team was academically ineligible cost you the national title. You should be thankful because Joe Hamilton would have had to give back the Heisman.

Dear Chris Boggs,
Dude, grow up and move on. What a waste of good space. If you cared about fair play, you'd have complained to the SEC yourself with this information. But you're a "jacket" fan who's eating sour grapes. Enjoy those grapes, man. In the words of Dean Wormer, "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
Cheer for the jackets if they're your team and stop wasting your time whining about the SEC. You'll never make it there. And little Chris said, Wah Wah Wah, all the way home.

The players coming off the bench thing could be a stretch, but what about the 5 UGa football players that threw punches in the Aub game? That was never even mentioned.
November 26th, 2010

Yes Georgia got beat by a punk Auburn team with no class and the ringleader is their head coach who was cheering on the sidelines. I played my high school football in Summerville South Carolina, and if I had played like number 90 my football career would have been over. I was taught to play the game clean and fair and not intentionally try and hurt another player. You win and lose games and the lessons learned carry on in your life. I will say this, Georgia is not perfect and they had penalties, but not like number 90 of Auburn.

Did Boggs even graduate from high school. What a cry baby and pathetic so called piece of journalism. GA had every right to defend themselves against a bunch of overzealous Auburn
uncontrolled emotional players who don't have integrity. Auburn is overrated and Tech doesn't have a chance. The best move they will make tomorrow is the one they will do on the toliet in the morning

Dude, mwhat kool-aid are you drinking? I'd highly suggest you stop drinking it. It's really damaging to your brain…as if you had one.
@Road Scholar:
Are you serious?
"But this brings me to Auburn's quarterback. With a theft and lieing charge/conviction and 2—yes 2– school cheating accusations / "convictions"at UF, How do they justify letting a thief and liar transfer to another SEC school? Oh it's the ratings!"
The charges were dismissed, and the cheating accussations were basically dropped when he transferred to Blinn. That's kind of like what happened when Nathan Deal resigned from Congress to run for governor. The ethics investigation was dropped. That sure as heck didn't stop him from getting elected.

techies, don't you have some homework to do?. UGA fans-did that burn your butts when they annouced the Monday after the Auburn/Georgia game that Nick Fairly was selected as a finalist for defensive player of the year? Your continuing to whimper about Nick Fairley just makes you sad.

Your article you just wrote is funny. I am a tech fan, but give me a break….. alot of people that posted on here are absoutley right. Your whinning about UGA, and I know your obsessed with hating UGA. Auburn acted pretty childish at the end of the UGA game, but holy crap after beating bama the way they did they deserve to go play for the crystal ball as long as they beat the chickens.
So the UGA players should have gotten tossed for sticking up for their teamates? No. Thats what sports is about…. Nothing wrong with how they reacted to the auburn knuckleheads.
Hopefully the ducks win this game and the civil war next week, because i would love to see a east vs west game out in tempe for the crystal ball.

I don't normally comment on Tech beat or fan blogs, but this has got to be the whiniest post ever. Yeah, Georgia's players were on the field, but there was no Clemson-S. Carolina style brawl, and the refs were able to get things under control. No harm, no foul. Honestly, it was their fault for the game even getting to that point– both teams were snipping at each other well beyond what is "sportsmanlike" and both should have been warned.
I'm not going to disagree with you for saying that money controls college football, but at the heart of it there's still so much more passion and excitement on a college football field that I don't even know how anyone can possibly look forward to Sundays over Saturdays.
Let's have a good game tomorrow and Go Dawgs!

You're clearly mistaken. None of those players participated in a fight and they were on the sideline. The officials did kick two Auburn players out because of their behavior. Fairly should have also been kicked out.
November 26th, 2010
11:00 pm
college fans are pathetically biased. after all of the crying about fairley, i watched the entire replay to see how "dirty" he was. y'all need to get over your whining. the only time i saw players intentionally try to hurt someone was when georgia chop-blocked the fairley kid. it's a tough sport, not for cry-babies. your QB is going to take some shots, he's not wearing a pink skirt. y'all are afraid of the big scary man, you big sissies. now he's getting penalties for breathing on the QB. as for you people saying you wouldn't want him on your team, you're stupid, and biased, and you have sour grapes because your team lost. i would LOVE it if the falcons drafted him. your "red and black" committed the worst act of sportsmanship i have seen in years against florida a few years ago, so until you get a new coach, you have absolutely no credibility in any discussion about sportsmanship. that was poor sportsmanship against auburn when you intentionally went after fairley after it was obvious that he was being blocked into your QB. then your whole team left the bench when his teammates took up for him. just mad because you were losing. pitiful. fairley, get away from these stupid college guys as fast as you can. the falcons want you!

steampile is probably full of dawg crap. but if it's true, then it is exactly what is wrong with the economy. people like SP hiring and firing based on trivial personal issues like cheering for ga tech, just because a team of 18 to 22 year olds beat your school, instead of based on merit and job performance. that's un-american, and did harm to your company. you college fans can be so stupid. your story sounds completely made up. i hope it is.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do play one on TV.
during either half, coaches or substitutes shall not leave their team area to participate in a fight, nor shall they participate in a fight in their team area.
Did any of the players who left the bench actually participate in the fight? No further questions.

First: The ONLY reason this article was written is becuase of the up coming game this saturday. Leave it to Tech to look for an excuse. "If the SEC would have suspended it players, we would have won". I can already hear it now.
Second: If your QB was hit late play after play with the intent to injure him, your team would be coming off the bench too. Fairley is nothing but a punk who will have his face smashed in when he gets to the NFL. Let him hit an NFL QB late and see what the O Line does to him!
As far as this weekend… GO DAWGS!!!!!
November 27th, 2010

Chris Boggs, so you want the majority of the UGA team suspended before the Tech game? Hmmm. Sounds like you might have a hidden agenda. lol. Are you really that scared that your Jackets are going to get a beatdown? Thats pathetic.
November 27th, 2010
8:12 am
Seriously Boggs? Has any team ever had 2/3 of their team suspended for running on the field during a bench clearing brawl? It has never happened, of course, because that would be a complete and utter over reaction and frankly stupid. Just like this particular entry in your blog.
It's weasles like you tha give Tech fans a bad name.
November 27th, 2010

How irrelevant is Georgia Tech? If this were a UGA blog it would have at least 10 pages by now. And the majority of the posters on this blog are from SEC schools. Pathetic.
November 27th, 2010

The Auburn team may have no losses but they also have a total lack of character and it shows starting with the coaches and then with the players on the field. I don't care how good a player Newton is, his actions at Florida and now show a total lack of character which I thought was also a part of Heisman consideration.
November 27th, 2010

I would expect writing like this to appear in on page 9 or 10 of the comments section, not as the actual ajc article.

Thomas James Churchill (March 10, 1824 – May 14, 1905) was a Confederate major general during the American Civil War and the 13th Governor of the state of Arkansas.
Churchill was born near Louisville, Kentucky. He graduated from St. Mary's College in Bardstown, Kentucky in 1844. He studied law at Transylvania University in Lexington.[1]
Churchill served during the Mexican-American War and rose to the rank of first lieutenant in a regiment of mounted infantry. He was captured by the Mexican Army and remained a prisoner of war until near the end of the conflict. In 1848, he moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, married the daughter of Senator Ambrose Sevier, and became a planter. Appointed by President James Buchanan, he was postmaster of Little Rock from 1857 to 1861,
Civil War[edit]
At the start of the Civil War, Churchill offered his services to the state and was elected colonel of the 1st Arkansas Mounted Rifles. His first combat took place at the Battle of Wilson's Creek near Springfield, Missouri. On March 4, 1862, he was promoted to brigadier general and soon thereafter took part in Maj. Gen. Kirby Smith's Kentucky Campaign. Churchill played an important role in the victory at Richmond, Kentucky, leading his men along a ravine that became known as "Churchill's Draw" to deliver a surprise and successful flanking attack. On February 17, 1864, Churchill was cited as one of three officers to receive special recognition in a Thanks of [Confederate] Congress resolution for his actions at Richmond.[2]
In the latter part of 1862, Churchill was transferred back to Arkansas and placed in charge of the fortifications at Arkansas Post. In January 1863, the Post was attacked and seized in the Battle of Fort Hindman by an overwhelming Union force under Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand. After his exchange, Churchill served in the District of Arkansas of the Trans-Mississippi Department and commanded a division during the Red River Campaign. He played a major role in the Battle of Jenkins Ferry and was promoted to major general on March 17, 1865.[2]
In the Brooks-Baxter War in 1874, Churchill supported Baxter and helped enroll volunteers in Baxter's militia. Churchill was elected Arkansas State Treasurer in 1874, and was reelected in 1876 and 1878.
Churchill was elected Governor of Arkansas in 1881, and served until his resignation in 1883.[3]
While governor, Churchill was plagued by allegations of discrepancies in the treasurer's account from when he served as state treasurer. A special committee found a shortage in the state funds, and a lawsuit was brought against Churchill. Churchill was ordered to repay the missing funds.[4]
Death and legacy[edit]
Churchill died in Little Rock, Arkansas, and was buried in historic Mount Holly Cemetery with military honors.
Churchill set the standard for the pronunciation of "Arkansas."[1]

Chobani Inc. got Americans hooked on Greek yogurt. Now Danone wants to slip the stuff into products from dips to dessert in a bid to unseat the market leader.
After being blindsided by the upstart -- Chobani became the biggest U.S. seller of Greek yogurt two years after releasing its first product -- the world's largest yogurt maker aims to take back the dairy aisle with its Dannon Oikos brand.
With pictures of an ancient building on every package and following a Super Bowl ad starring Greek-American actor John Stamos to boost its Hellenic bonafides, Oikos grew 165 percent in the year through May, according to researcher Mintel. Though Chobani's sales rose more than 20 percent, Mintel estimates, it has lost share for 18 straight four-week periods, investment research firm Sanford C. Bernstein says.
Winning in the $7.6 billion American yogurt market means winning in Greek: The product will account for more than half of all U.S. yogurt sales within six months, Bernstein estimates. To get ahead, Danone is selling dips in flavors such as cucumber dill and French onion, and is running a trial of Oikos frozen yogurt to extend the brand.
"It's a two-horse race," said Joe Pawlak, vice president at food-industry researcher Technomic Inc. in Chicago. "Chobani is the leader and Danone has the marketing muscle."
The turnaround has investors taking a new look at Danone, which just a year ago issued a profit warning amid European woes. The stock is on track for its best annual performance since 2006, and it trades at a premium to larger rivals Unilever and Nestle SA, whose sales growth it outpaced in the first half.
Dark Chocolate
Danone shares slipped 1.9 percent to 57.41 euros in Paris today. The stock has risen 15 percent this year, valuing the company at 36.2 billion euros ($48.5 billion).
"What has happened in the U.S. is an indication of Danone's perseverance," said Jon Cox, head of European consumer equities at Kepler Cheuvreux in Zurich, who rates the shares buy. After missing the beginning of the Greek yogurt trend, "they've shown that when they see the problem, they move very quickly."
Danone's troubles started in 2007 when Chobani mixed fruit and other goodies into Greek yogurt. It has since won over customers by offering flavors like coffee with dark chocolate and fig with orange zest. Greek yogurt's high protein content makes it more filling and it contains little or no fat -- though it can cost about twice what regular yogurt does.
