Depending on which side of the rivalry one sits, there has been a lot of horn-tooting and rationalizing going on since the Georgia-Georgia Tech ended Saturday night. That's only natural after a rivalry game nicknamed "Clean Old Fashioned Hate." But the perspective is decidedly different for prospects being recruited by both schools.
Tucker linebacker James Vaughters and Kell safety Brian Randolph fall into that category. Both are high school juniors and coveted recruits for the class of 2011 and both have Tech and Georgia atop their lists.
Randolph, who attended Saturday's game at Bobby Dodd Stadium as an unofficial visitor, insists he is giving the Bulldogs due consideration even though his brother Justin Randolph is a freshman A-back for the Yellow Jackets. Vaughters has been to both Tech and Georgia many times this season but stayed at home and watched the game on television since he had family in town for Thanksgiving.
Unlike the rabid fans that lived and died with every play in the dramatic contest — Georgia held on to win 30-24 – these guys watched through a decidedly different lens.
"I didn't root for either team since I have met and gotten to know both coaching staffs and some of the players as well," said Vaughters, responding to queries via email. "It is a little strange to watch a game when you want to see guys on both sides of the ball do well. For example, I've met Rennie Curran, the linebacker at Georgia, on a couple of occasions and I really like the way he plays and carries himself, so I pull for him. At the same time, I know Roddy Jones, the running back at Tech, because we played in the same youth football league in Tucker, so I pull for him too."
Said Randolph, reached by telephone on Sunday: "It was a tough, physical game and I liked that." As for his emotions throughout, he said, "I stayed pretty chill."
Their reactions corroborate what both Georgia coach Mark Richt and Tech coach Paul Johnson theorized last week, that the outcome of the game in a given year is not pivotal for a recruit to make up his mind.
Randolph stated it flatly: "No, it doesn't really matter that much."
Vaughters liked what he saw on both sides of the field Saturday night.
"I still consider both Georgia and Georgia Tech to both be great options, although they are very different," he said. "What I like is that both coaching staffs have great coaches that seem to care about the players and building character, as well as making sure we succeed academically. It also helps that both programs do a great job of getting players . . . ready to play at the next level."
But neither player is anywhere close to making up his mind, Saturday's results notwithstanding.
"It's too early to tell where the best opportunity for me to fit in depth chart-wise will be," Vaughters said. "That will be a determining factor, as well, when it is time to make a commitment."
Said Randolph: "I'm just handling school right now."
Now, back to horn-tooting and rationalizing.

Funny that the Georgia-Georgia Tech game does not mean much to recruits. Boy, look at the recruits that attended the FSU/Florida game. Some things really matter with recruits looking at a top program. Another example of the difference between the Florida and Georgia football programs. Winning matters to the recruits who want to go to Florida!!!!

If GT loses to UGA on a Down Dawg Year imagine what the score will be when we improve.
We're 8 – 1 against GT.

Hey guys — both programs are good, although GT's offense (which wouldn't affect you) is more than a little quirky and does not appeal to the NFL. But UGA's fan base is much larger, as is its stadium. Google the largest college stadiums and the SEC has about half of the top 15 in the country. Contrast visiting LSU or UT with ACC venues like Wake Forest and Maryland. Different experiences entirely. Go Dawgs!

Recruiting related.I think there should be a fan push to get Rodney Garner the defensive coordinator position,I think our recruiting could take off to new hights.

oHHHHH its feels so good. Now Richt and the boys need to get back to work. Fix the many many many problems and get back to being the top one or two teams in the nation.

Georgia is bringing an outstanding class in this year to go with last years' class. It is exciting to see what the coaches are putting together. We are looking at exciting times. I know all the negative blogging didn't help Georgia in recruiting, but the Tech win erased all that. I believe most of the negative stuff was from our opposition pretending to be Bulldog fans. Things have a way of working out when good people are in charge. Go Dogs.

Dear recruits,
Normally I wouldn't give a hoot about this game (because Dawgs own GT and it is out of conference), but a certain Tech fan from my island annoyed many of us all year, repeating the "ringworthy" score of the 2008 meeting.
As such, I intend to help the Tech Fans a.k.a "nerds" remember the score of the most recent game.
St. Simons is a lovely place. We have very few Tech fans here. I think I know who "St. Simons" is.
GO Dawgs,
The Other St. Simons
November 30th, 2009
8:54 am
Saint Simon…….where are you???????????
300+ yards of rushing. Boy, CMR and CMB showed who had the bigger set of grapefruits. They tested Tech's manhood. Gotta go, got to go to the store and stock up on some clemson juice

Nice to see these kids have good heads on their shoulders and aren't dissillusioned in either direction like most of the posters here.
Keep putting on those dog colored glasses. Your program is still in decline and is at best a third tier team in a division with one stud. If it makes you feel better to ridicule GT while they are still on the rise, go for it. Whatever makes you feel better. More billboard material for next year. Have fun in Shreveport!
Congrats on the win though!

DAWG fans lets try to remember that DAWGNATION "loses with class, wins with class." We've been doing it for long enough that we shouldn't get too excited about beating Tech (it is Tech after all). I know how we can get caught up in reminding "m" and "saint simons" that we still are "The Program" in the state, but lets remember that this isn't Florida or Auburn. We should expect to win this game year in and year out. Plus it bugs the heck the heck out of them we don't make that big of deal about beating them. GO DAWGS!

I'd like to see a linebacking tandem of Richard Samuel and James Vaughters; I'd also like to see a safety tandem of Alec Ogletree and Brian Randolph. That is if all these players commit to excellence in football and the classroom and demand their teammates do the same.

Think about this guys; Georgia has one of the best recruiting classes in the country every year and always ends up a mediocre team. Georgia tech typically doesn't get great recruits but has managed two great seasons (despite a poor showing, and a well played game by Georgia last weekend). What does that say about coaching and player development at the two schools? And sure Tech's offense is "quirky", but I don't think any good defensive players are having trouble getting into the NFL (e.g. Derrick Morgan). If anything, with fewer high level recruits, you'll have more opportunities to prove yourself at Tech. Finally, read the comments from the average UGA fan above. Sure there are a lot of them, but they are the most ignorant, most arrogant, and most obnoxious fanbase in all of college football.
November 30th, 2009

Hey Nerds. That offensive line for UGA that rolled over the GT defense, the whole UGA offensive line will be back next year along with the backs that ran over you.
November 30th, 2009
9:43 am
Bulldog Mom, you are exactly right about these being exciting times in Athens. To me, the negative blogging about Georgia confirms the fact that our opponents realize the Dogs are loading up for some title runs, and reveals a level of anxiety about that.
November 30th, 2009
9:45 am
It says that we play in a REAL conference…
Just look at your top 2 teams in the ACC and how they faired against 2 mediocre SEC Teams this past Saturday!!!!!!!
Go DAWGS!!!!
November 30th, 2009
9:49 am
Tech… if you are going to post here please try to be factual…
Last year UGA was 10 and 3 and finished #10 in the country… is that a mediocre team? Tech finished 9 and 4 last year and that was a great year. Those are your words… UGA has had 6 10 win seasons out of the last 9 years and 6 top 10 ( with a #2 and #3 finish) finishes and two SEC Championships and 3 BCS bowl wins.. You call that mediocre?
You don't what you are talking about. And speaking of UGA fans… have you read what St Simmons, M, Yellow fuzz, Stinger, TSJ and those model citizens had to say. Get off your high horse pal. Tech fans are no better there is just fewer of them.

November 30th, 2009
10:13 am
I said I was sorry! I've been a Dawgs fan for awhile now, I was just trying to get the fans pumped up. We all know GT is UGA's little brother, so let's move on. Here's to Clemson, the other team that got dominated by an SEC opponent on Saturday. SEC >>>> ACC
November 30th, 2009
10:14 am
You're right. Mediocre was too strong of a word. What I meant was that UGA tends to under achieve and Tech to over achieve given the recruits and money available to them. I haven't read what St. Simmons, Yellow fuzz, Stinger, TSJ, or others have posted. They sound like jerks based on what I've read here, and I assure you they don't represent the majority of Tech fans. On the other hand, I'm basing my statement about GA fans on what I've seen on countless blogs and heard in person many times; look at NorthGaDawg's response to me.
Which brings me to another point, I think it is funny that UGA fans immediately conclude that a win over tech proves that both the SEC is a superior conference and UGA is a better team than Tech (btw, everyone knows that overall SEC is a stronger conference). I will admit that the Bulldogs were a better team than Tech last year, but Tech won the rivalry game because they were the underdog and wanted it more. They had more to prove and played harder. That's exactly what happened this year, just the other way around. Why do you have to read so much into it? Georgia showed up with a great gameplan, played clean football, exploited Tech's weakness, and had a little luck. That doesn't mean that Georgia is a better team.
November 30th, 2009

Too bad I'm still around. Feels good to not only have beated UGA but to have beaten Kentucky (who beat UGA). 45-19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If UGA goes to the Peach Bowl ('cause I'm never certain I'm spelling Chick-Fil-A correctly) then the person who makes the red & black "We Run This State" t-shirts stands to make some decent money this year.

Oh, and Chip – journalist questions for you: (i) who came up with "I Run This State?", and (ii) what are Vince Dooley's comments on the game (did he feel nostalgic?).
November 30th, 2009
10:22 am
GT is a great choice for a college education and the future of the Football program is very bright.
UGA is VERY VERY close to losing the Defensive Coordinator (Martinez) and possibly many more of the current coaching staff…………if UGA had lost to GT (very close game that could have gone either way), the UGA fan base would be going crazy in an attempt to gid rid of the current coaching staff (especially on the defensive side of the ball)!
For potential recruits (defensive players in particular), GT is a much more stable team with a great chance to be a part of a team on the rise!
Congratulations to UGA on a close victory, but I am bothered by one specific incident. I personally would like to know how the game would have turned out if Nesbit was simply tackled and not twisted in an attempt to take him out of the game. The three series played with Jaybo Shaw at QB really helped UGA and hurt the GT chances for a victory. What would UGA fans have thought (and can you imagine the posted commets) if GT had twisted Matt Stafford they same way early in the first quarter last year resulting in an injured Matt Stafford? The results of both games might have been the same; I am just stating I wish we could have witnessed the game with Nesbit playing the entire game. Anything to win I suppose, but integrity and character should be more important in my personal opnion.
November 30th, 2009
10:26 am
Go to UGA where you can play in the toilet bowl and upset the rival, or you can go to GT and play for championships and be on a top 10 team…think about it.
November 30th, 2009
10:32 am
Tech- whatever you have to tell yourself to make you feel better about getting man handled by one of our worst teams in 10+ seasons! It won't be long before every team figures out how to stop that high school offense oy yours!
November 30th, 2009
10:34 am
GT GRAD: You are so deluded. Talk about arrogance !! From CPJ(I actually thought he had more class than that)to the players and the fans.We beat your asses this year so live with it. I'm a UGa grad and doing nicely in the professional arena. GT MOM-Where are my milk and cookies?
November 30th, 2009
10:35 am
GT GRAD – Who wants to play for a team that has a pop warner offense? That offense doesn't prepare them for the NFL. Also pretty sure Nesbitt couldn't have helped stop Ealey and King! They are still running up and down your field!
November 30th, 2009
10:36 am
Go to UGA so we can say remember him when he played at Kell? What the heck happened to him? Although you will play like the star you are one game out of the year. But that is good enough around here.
November 30th, 2009
10:39 am
I would think the recruits would want to play in the best conference. In 2009 the the SEC was 5-2 against the ACC teams with the 2 ACC divison champions being defeated by Georgia and South Carolina. These numbers are pretty much the same or better for the SEC every year. MS State and Vandy were the only SEC teams to lose to an ACC team in 2009. Also, the NFL has far more players from the SEC than from the ACC. If the recruits have any desire to go pro, that must be a consideration.

Go to GT where the girls are ugly as a bucket of buttholes and the boys are fags.

A spokesman says an explosion at a southern Indiana naval base's pyrotechnic facility sent four employees to the hospital.
Crane Army Ammunition Activity spokesman Tom Peske says the explosion happened about 5:40 p.m. Thursday during routine clean-up operations at Crane naval base about 85 miles southwest of Indianapolis. The four injured employees were examined and released from the hospital Thursday evening.
Peske says the blast occurred during a clean-up at the facility that produces illumination mortars the military uses to give light to soldiers. Peske says employees follow certain procedures to clean up any loose chemical dust at the beginning or end of a production run. He says he doesn't know what chemicals are used.
The facility has been shut down as Crane looks into the cause of the explosion.

Lyndon Township has received a special land use zoning request and an application for a Mineral Mining Operation (MMO) within our township. The proposed site is off M-52 near Green Lake. The Planning Commission has set the following deadlines:
March 27, 2014 - 5pm: DEADLINE FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S WRITTEN QUESTIONS TO BE SUBMITTED TO McCOIG. May 12, 2014 - 5pm: DEADLINE FOR McCOIG TO ANSWER WRITTEN QUESTIONS RECEIVED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION (deadline extended to this date due to large number of written questions) May 19, 2014 - 6pm: PUBLIC PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON THE McCOIG SPECIAL LAND USE REQUEST. This meeting is being held in Chelsea at the Washington Street Education Center. July 28, 2014 – noon: DEADLINE FOR PUBLIC WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS (EXPERT REPORTS, STUDIES, AND COMMENTS) TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE TOWNSHIP ON THE McCOIG SPECIAL LAND USE REQUEST.There is no "scheduled" vote date.

The township & planning boards understand that this is a very sensitive issue for our recreational community. We have taken proactive steps in assembling professional planners, engineers and attorneys that specialize in this field.Please understand that the township's authority to regulate MMO's is very limited. Michigan State Legislators have greatly reduced township control by passing Act 110 of 2006 (125.3205). Under that law, the township must not "prevent the extraction, by mining, of valuable natural resources from any property unless very serious consequences would result from the extraction of those natural resources. Natural resources are considered valuable for the purposes of this section if a person, by extracting the natural resources, can receive revenue and reasonably expect to operate at a profit." The township's authority is limited to "reasonable regulation of hours of operation, blasting hours, noise levels, dust control measures, and traffic that are not preempted by part 632 of the Michigan environmental laws," 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.63201 to 324.63223.

After a frustrating discussion with dh last night, I have discovered that he does not want to take any extraordinary measures in attempt to achieve a pregnancy (IVF, IUI, diagnostic surgery etc...). With that, I will not be doing hcg injections as my doctor has suggested (this was recommended due to elevated FSH levels of 12.5).
Do any of you have personal experience with taking over the counter DHEA alone or in combination with IVF? Here are a couple of articles about it:

A.Luis De Miguel, senior
researcher at the Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corporation, responds: Venting the top of rain
screen cavities is not recommended. Research has
shown that when wind pressurizes one side of a
house and depressurizes the opposite side, vents at
the top of a rain screen or curtain wall can allow
moisture to be sucked into the cavity. Vents at the
top of a rain screen do not contribute appreciably
to helping the cavities dry out. If the cavities
are closed at the top, quicker pressure
equalization is possible, and less water will enter
the cavity.
The bottom of the rain screen cavities can be
screened with insect screen or thin aluminum soffit
vent, bent into a U-shape. The screen should be
stapled to the sheathing prior to installing the
vertical battens, and then later folded over the
battens and stapled again.

Heartwalk 2014 by The Holy Walkamoles! - 3 months ago
"My department at work decided to do the American Heart Association's Heart Walk in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Heart Walk was able to raise just under $200,000 and our team pulled in just under $1000 in fundraising. The shirt was designed after we decided to use the name the Holy Walkamoles and we got so many compliments during the event and even after!"

Best Road Running Shoe
Saucony Progrid Guide 5 ($100)
HEIGHT: 33.6 mm (heel); 24.8 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 10.2 oz (M); 8.4 oz (W)
Talk about a weight-loss program: The Guide 5 shed almost two ounces from its previous version, but didn't lose a shred of shock absorption. Tests showed that it's just as supportive as earlier models. Saucony got more with less by lowering the heel-to-toe drop (which testers say helped them run on their forefeet); and using lighter rubber on the outsole. Our only complaint: Shoelaces that are too long.
BOTTOM LINE: For many runners, the Guide 5 provides nearly as much as the Etonic DRP Epic, but in a lighter and more flexible shoe.
Put your running shoes to the test and train for your first or fastest marathon ever with The Big Book of Marathon and Half-Marathon Training.
Best Shoe for Overall Comfort
Asics Gel Kayano ($150)
HEIGHT: 36.9 mm (heel); 26.9 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 11.7 oz (M); 9.7 oz (W)
Simply put, the Kayano is a titan. Over its 18 iterations the shoe has consistently performed well for many runners. This latest version earned higher scores than any other shoe in our test for comfort, cushioning, and stability. The shoe feels like a padded boxing glove that you can use to pound out mile after mile, pain-free. (Runners who've struggled with piriformis syndrome or chronic foot pain should enjoy the cushy, protected ride.) And testers raved about the fit—especially in the rearfoot, where a new external heel counter keeps a firm grip on your heel while wrapping your Achilles in cushy padding and soft fabric. Even with the addition, the Kayano is a half-ounce lighter than its previous version.
BOTTOM LINE: Surprisingly light, it delivers maximum protection.
Best Long-Distance Running Shoe
Brooks Trance 11 ($140)
HEIGHT: 36.0 mm (heel); 25.5 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 12.5 oz (M); 10.2 oz (W)
Brooks essentially has made three different versions of the Trance, each with a varying amount of foam density in the midsole. There's a firmer version for midsize guys (men up to a size 10.5 foot), and the even-bigger guys get the firmest, most dense foam of all. (Note: The cushioning and flexibility scores to the right reflect a men's size 9.) The result? Each pair of the Trance feels like it's made just for you. Because, in a way, it is.
BOTTOM LINE: A shoe suited for bigger runners with normal to flat arches.
A longer stride isn't the only advantage bigger men enjoy. Find out Why Tall People Win.
Best Shoe for Beginners
Asics Gel Excel 33 ($120)
HEIGHT: 33.4 mm (heel); 24.5 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 10.7 oz (M); 9.0 oz (W)
It's rare that a shoe can provide this much cushioning and still be flexible. Usually, the extra padded protection makes the midsole hard to bend. But Asics placed deep flex grooves in the outsole of the Excel that allow runners of all sizes to bend the forefoot with ease, providing a smoother, more energy-efficient toe-off. The shoe doesn't have many stability features, which is great for high-arched runners who don't need motion correction.
BOTTOM LINE: High-arched runners who want a flexible forefoot, look here.
Best Shoe for Heavyset Runners
Mizuno Wave Creation 13 ($150)
HEIGHT: 36.6 mm (heel); 24.9 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 12.7 oz (M); 9.6 oz (W)
Are you a heavy-set runner looking for firm footing with each step? Then check out the Creation 13. It absorbs the weight of beefier runners without feeling mushy. That's due to a nontraditional midsole featuring two plastic plates separated by rubber shock absorbers. Many testers raved about the shoe's upper, which is extremely flexible and conforms to almost any foot type. One recurring complaint: Color bleeds from the shoe's fabric and stains socks.
BOTTOM LINE: Offers excellent stability and locks the arch snugly.
Best Minimalist Running Shoe
New Balance Minimus Zero ($110)
HEIGHT: 12.3 mm (heel); 10.7 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 6.1 oz (M); 4.6 oz (W)
The lightest shoe in this guide, the Minimus feels like a sock with an outsole. The synthetic mesh upper wraps the arch well, but opens up to provide a little breathing room through the toes. But it's not as wide as the other minimal shoes in this guide. The shape and fabric earned high marks from wear-testers for comfort. Only efficient runners should log a lot of miles in these shoes.
BOTTOM LINE: The Minimus Zero offers a barefoot-like experience; also works as a racing flat.
Barefoot running isn't for everyone. Use this guide to determine whether or not it's time to undo your laces.
Best Shoe for the Money
Brooks Pure Flow ($90)
HEIGHT: 28.7 mm (heel); 24.8 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 9.0 oz (M); 7.1 oz (W)
You know when something just feels right? That's how a number of testers described their first run in the Flow. Runners with normal arches seemed especially fond of the fit—six normal-arched runners gave the Flow their highest-possible performance rating. Our tests attribute the love to high-quality foam in the midsole, which provides a comfortable, cushioned ride despite the shoe's low profile. The shoe is built on an "anatomical" last, meaning it has a roomy toebox that is designed to let your toes splay out naturally, as if you were barefoot. But the Flow isn't nearly as wide as other "natural" shoes like Altra's The Instinct.
BOTTOM LINE: A lightweight yet durable shoe that's a steal at its price point.
Best Shoe for Turning Heads
Asics Gel-Noosa Tri 7 ($120)
HEIGHT: 32.2 mm (heel); 21.9 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 10.3 oz (M); 8.5 oz (W)
We don't usually talk about a shoe's color, but—dang. The Noosa's flashy pigments are definitely a conversation starter. And did we mention the shoes glow in the dark? But once you get past the flash, this is a performance machine. It's lightweight, flexible, and supportive, and provides enough cushioning to cover any distance you take on. The Tri 7 is designed for triathletes and includes several tri-friendly features, like a sewn-in tongue and a comfortable, mostly seamless upper so you can wear it without socks. Extra ventilation helps keep your feet dry but can lead to chilly toes if you run in cold climates.
BOTTOM LINE: Light, cushioned—and snazzy for the competitive racer.
Best All-Around Running Shoe
Saucony PowerGrid Triumph 9 ($130)
HEIGHT: 34.1 mm (heel); 26.4 mm (forefoot)
WEIGHT: 11.0 oz (M); 9.4 oz (W)
Big guys, look no further. While the Triumph earned generally positive reviews from all who tested it, men weighing 170 pounds or more were especially enthusiastic about this shoe. Saucony added padding to the Triumph, giving the heavier runner a softer, more comfortable ride up front. The shoe also now has Sauc-Fit, which locks the foot on the platform for a better fit. But the change comes at a cost: This Triumph is a lot less flexible than previous versions. Slim striders may find the shoe not as responsive as it used to be; expect a tougher time getting the front of the shoe to bend with your toes.
BOTTOM LINE: Forefoot-strikers can expect more protection in this update.

100hz is too fast for the Arduino? *shrug*
After debugging, the aforementioned program was reliably reading a 26,000 rpm signal from a signal generator while updating four display values, polling two inputs without interrupts, and having a compiled size of almost 8K. It started getting flaky at about 28,000 rpm. Ditching use of the string class in favor of character arrays roughly doubled the speed. Not executing every display command on every loop iteration roughly doubled the speed once more while still achieving an approximate 100 Hz refresh rate.

Carlos Gomez's Home Run Spurs on Crazy Brewers-Braves Brawl [VIDEO]
The Milwaukee Brewers aren't going anywhere this year. Heck, they can't even make it to home plate when they hit a home run.
The Milwaukee Brewers aren't going anywhere this year. Heck, they can't even make it to home plate when they hit a home run.
Tragedy hit Turner Field on Monday night when a fan fell 65 feet to his death from the upper deck.
When you're in last place and have made minced meat of your payroll, plays like this are even funnier than they should be.
Jose Bautista, J.J. Hardy and Jason Kipnis each drove in runs, and the American League beat the National League, 3-0, in the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York.
It's not just Major League Baseball players who have trouble following the league's drug policy.
No matter if you are a big fan of baseball or not, when a Major League pitcher delivers a no hit game, it is pretty special to witness.
But what is even more impressive about Homer Bailey's "no-no" on Tuesday night is the fact that he was the last to throw a no-hitter at the end of last season.
You don't need a degree to know you should stand by your team.
This is pretty hard to watch. J.A Happ was hit in the head on Tuesday night after a pitch he had just thrown was hit directly back at him.
A nice afternoon at the ballpark for a family in Oakland where the A's were hosting the Detroit Tigers. A foul ball heads to the grandstand, and in a classy move, the guy who caught it passed it over to the youngest of two boys watching the game.
Major League Baseball spring training begins this week, and in the year 2000, that meant country superstar Garth Brooks reported for duty to the New York Mets clubhouse. It was the second of three stints the singer had in the bigs, and he left with an unimpressive batting average.
There's hope for our future! People still do the right thing. There's no better feeling than to find out that all of the work you've put into making your kid a good person has paid off. Check out what this young Diamondbacks fan does after he gets a ball at a Brewer's game.
Growing up, I was your typical baseball fan. Like most kids, I had a pretty incredible baseball card collection (which I wish I still had). My favorite team was always the Cincinatti Reds. The Big Red machine was on fire back in the 70's with players like Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Dave Concepcion, Tony Perez and Joe Morgan

Keeping kids engaged in the classroom.
It's a problem all teachers face but one teacher believes a solution starts at the very beginning.
Swanson Primary kindergarten teacher, Sue Panzica, has been named Teacher of the Year in South Bend. She's been teaching for 37 years, 20 of them have been in kindergarten.
Although she has a PH-D in early childhood development and has taught graduate students, she says kindergarten students are her favorite.
"They make me laugh every day. There isn't a day where they don't make me laugh, it really is the best job," says Panzica.
She believes it's her responsibility to engage students in life-long learning the minute they start going to school.
"The role of a teacher is crucial to a child's life. They spend so much time in a classroom with a teacher and Mrs. Panzica does that with each of her students," says Swanson Primary Principal Wendy Folk.
Next, Panzica will be eligible for Teacher of the Year across the state.

Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda has urged the team to continue improving the car, despite their dominant start to the 2014 season.
Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have dominated proceedings so far this year, with Rosberg winning the first race and Hamilton winning the next three as they secured back-to-back-to-back 1-2s for the Brackley outfit.
Lauda, a three-time World Champion himself, has reminded that team that nothing can be taken for granted, particularly as reigning Constructors' Champions Red Bull continue to improve their package.
"It is looking good, but let's be careful," Lauda told Autosport.
"There are a lot of races to come.
"The Red Bulls are famous for coming back, and [Adrian] Newey is there.
"He wasn't here [in China], so he sends something new for Barcelona I'm afraid.
"Things can go wrong in any way. But, at least the start point for us is not a bad one."
With the focus during the early stages of the season clearly on reliability and performance of the various power units, aerodynamic developments have been neglected so far this season.
Most teams are planning a major aero upgrade in the next race in Barcelona, though, and Lauda believes it is in Catalonia that the season will really start.
"For me the biggest worry, which I am always worried about, is that we keep on working," he said.
"We can't just breathe once and say we are the best. This will not happen.
"The most important time is the next three weeks, as everyone will come up with a new package.
"Plus Barcelona is a very particular circuit. It is hard on tyres, and not so much about engine alone. You need a good car/engine combination.
"There will be the next level of measuring about who did the best upgrades? Who is the quickest there? And who will win the race?
"This will be very important information for me personally to see how the season will continue. If you are on top of the game in Barcelona, then it is a bit easier.
"After that, you have to watch it again after the summer break, but Barcelona for me is a key race."

Publications archive - Migratory Species
Key departmental publications, e.g. annual reports, budget papers and program guidelines are available in our online archive.
Much of the material listed on these archived web pages has been superseded, or served a particular purpose at a particular time. It may contain references to activities or policies that have no current application. Many archived documents may link to web pages that have moved or no longer exist, or may refer to other documents that are no longer available.
Environment Australia and Wetlands International - Oceania, 2002
These guidelines have been prepared by Wetlands International to assist in the preparation of documentation for nominations of sites to the Eat Asian-Australasian Shorebird Site Network.
Sites are nominated for the East Asian-Australasian Shorebird Site Network on the basis of use of the site by migratory shorebirds.
In nominating a site the management body undertakes to incorporate the conservation of migratory shorebirds in the management goals for the site.
To nominate a site for the East Asian-Australasian Shorebird Site Network, a detailed description and map of the boundaries of the wetland or wetlands should be provided to Wetlands International.
An Information Sheet has been developed to assist management bodies in providing details on the proposed site (see next section). The sheet is modelled on the Ramsar Wetlands Information Sheet.
Following discussions with the Shorebird Flyway Officer about the completed Site Information Sheet the site management agency should seek the appropriate national endorsement for the nomination. Once this endorsement is obtained the site nomination should be sent to the Chair of the Wetlands International - Asia Pacific Council.
The Shorebird Flyway Officer, in Consultation with the Shorebird Working Group, will review the nomination and prepare a recommendation for the next meeting of the Wetlands International - Asia Pacific Council. At a meeting of the Council the nomination will be noted and at that time it is formally part of the Shorebird Site Network.
Site management agencies are encouraged to conduct a ceremony at the new Shorebird Network site.

Couple unhurt as tornado passes over farm, damages crops, trees, structures
WILLMAR -- Ivan and Della Underland were in the basement about to hide under their pool table when they realized Friday night's tornado had already passed them by.
"We watched the funnel cloud go to the east of us," Della said. "We were pretty shook up for a while, but I guess we are okay."

Marines to be first wave in new Afghanistan plan
Dec 1, 2009, 12:22 a.m.
WASHINGTON New infusions of U.S. Marines will begin moving into Afghanistan almost as soon as President Barack Obama announces a redrawn battle strategy, a plan widely expected to include more than 30,000 additional U.S. forces. Obama will try to sell a skeptical public on his bigger, costlier war plan Tuesday by coupling the large new troop infusion with an emphasis on stepped-up training for Afghan forces that he says will allow the U.S. to leave. Obama formally ends a 92-day review of the war in Afghanistan Tuesday night with ...

Eva Lilly — 26 Weeks Old
This past week has been a little frustrating for little Miss Eva. She is desperate to crawl. To stand. To simply move. She watches older babies crawling and walking and lunges out of our arms believing that she is able to do so too.
Eva is constantly on the move: rolling, pushing up, pushing on her knees, shuffling backwards, and slithering on her stomach. This movement also continues in her sleep. Eva will often roll on to her side and her stomach to sleep.
Eva is still waking multiple times during the night. Usually two or three times before Johnny and I even go to bed for the night. At some point every night, Eva ends up back in bed with us. Some mornings, neither of us can remember who brought her into bed with us.
So most mornings, Eva wakes up with us. She is usually the first one awake and then wakes us up by reaching out and pawing at our faces with her hands.
Today marked another milestone: waving. It is an adorable wave that is a mix between a hang-loose sign and the Queen's wave.
Favourite Foods: Banana and Avocado Mix
Favourite Song: Galumph Went the Little Green Frog
Favourite Activities: Bath time and smiling in the mirror

Spartan Race WOD Archive 5.21.12 to 5.27.12
This week marked the debut of a Spartan holiday – Buck Furpees Day. Yes, Buck Furpee Day will forever officially be on May 21st every, but feel free to break into Buck Furpees day at any point in your weekly training cycle.
Traditionally in workout programs, Monday's are reserved for rest or recovery days – Monday being the day of the week that hits you like a sandbag full of bricks no matter how well you prepare. So if you have to pick a day to do less training- Monday logically follows.
However, sometimes it's nice to tackle Mondays head on and jump in full force. Sometimes you need a jolt to start your training week.
We hope Buck Furpees Day was a good start to the week! We're hoping this WOD archive helps get you ready to go wherever you are in your week.
WOD for 5-21-12
Spartan Buck Furpees Day
Burpees suck. They hurt. Overall they just break you down physically and mentally. (Especially when you get a 30 burpee penalty well into your Spartan Race while you can't feel your exhausted arms.)
Burpees turn your internal furnace on HIGH. They force you to put out a huge effort as you confront your ability to be in control of your own body. Your metabolism will be on fire after Spartan Buck Furpee day. Also, it will give you the confidence to know that you can handle a 30 burpee penality at a Spartan Race. Not to mention that the burpee is a great recipe for getting lean muscle.
Tomorrow, to honor the 300 men that went into battle in Thermopolye (and burpees in general), do 300 burpees as fast as you can. Do 300 as slowly as you can. Whatever. Just do them. 300 of them. Let this WOD last all day if you have to!
Much more on Spartan Buck Furpees Day on our blog…
Beat up from Buck Furpees Day today? Did you get your 300 burpees in? Ready for another beating from tomorrow's WOD?
The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance.
- Owen Feltham
WOD: Sandbag Carry
Time to go out and tackle your favorite 3-10 mile run course. The steeper the gradients the better. Just plan on being much slower than usual because you'll need to bring along a training partner – your sandbag (or something similar).
Weighted vests are great, but nothing beats the way an irregular object like a sandbag works your stabilizers as well as your grip. You'll probably notice some new weakness in your fitness as you engage new muscle groups if you've never done this WOD before.
Start with a manageable weight (around 10-25 lbs) as a beginner, but more experienced athletes can use 50-75lbs of weight. Try not to use your shoulders, but force yourselves to carry the sandbag in your arms, thus requiring you to work on your grip.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Step up to the challenge of being fitter, more active, and more focused on health. This is a great workout that breaks up your running with upper body and strength exercises. A Spartan is not a pure runner. Nor are they only concerned with strength. A Spartan strives to be a pure athlete – able to conquer anything before them.
Warm up with a 10 minute jog and do two sets of 10 push ups.
Run 1 mile at race pace
5-25 burpees
Run 1 mile at race pace
5-25 pull-ups
Run 1 mile at race pace
Burpee-pull ups until failure
50 crunches
2-4 minute plank
(Build your strength and endurance! Try to eliminate resting between running and each exercise.)
Cool down with a nice easy jog and stretch.
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
- Plato
Let's hear it for all our beginners! No matter how advanced you think you are now, you were once a newb – don't forget! Take the time to help & encourage beginners. We know the Workout of the Day's (WOD's) can get intimidating at times, so here is one geared for those just starting out.
30 minutes. Set aside 30 minutes of time for FITNESS and commit. No distractions, no phone, no excuses. Just keep moving forward and keep your heart rate up as you move from one exercise to the next.
20 minutes cardio (walk, run, hike, swim, bike, row, etc)
5-10 burpees
10-20 body weight squats
Cool down with a nice easy jog and stretch.
WOD for 5-25-12
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
-Will Rogers
Sometimes it's important not to over complicate things. This WOD can be done by both the beginner and expert. Just adjust pace and repetitions to meet your current fitness level.
warm up with 10 minute jog (jump rope optional)
main set:
25-100 lunges
run 1 mile at race tempo (or slightly faster)
recover 2-4 minutes
(repeat 2-8 times)
cool down with light jog and stretch
When you get right down to the root of the meaning of the word "succeed," you find that it simply means to follow through.
– F. W. Nichol
Long run. Should be the longest of your week. Try and push yourself an extra mile. Also, consider including these two exercises at the half way point of your run:
50-200 body weight squats
50-200 lunges
We promise, you'll thank us for having experiences like this when you are barely into your Spartan Race event and your legs feel like lead weights.
Stretch as cool down.
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
- James Allen
Lots going on this weekend? Here's a quick WOD to pound out.
1. 30 Push Ups
2. 15-30 Burpee/Pullups
3. 30 Box jumps
4. 100 Jumping Jacks
5. 300 crunches
Feel free to break this WOD up across your day or to pound it out straight – one exercise performed immediately after the other. Just get it done!

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton is ordering flags lowered to half-staff to honor victims of the Colorado movie theater massacre.
Dayton signed a proclamation ordering all flags at state buildings in Minnesota lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Saturday.
In his proclamation, Dayton says "a terrible act of violence was committed against innocent men, women, and children in Aurora, Colorado."
A gunman threw gas canisters and opened fire on an audience watching a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in the Denver suburb, killing 12 people and wounding nearly 60 others.

Kate Middleton has reportedly been photographed showing off her baby bump in a bikini while holidaying in the Caribbean. The snaps are said to have been taken on the beach island of Mustique and show the pregnant Kate walking in the water with Prince William. The British media have decided they will not publish the pictures, as it is believed they could spark a bidding war in other parts of the world to purchase them.
With Prince William and Kate expecting their first bubba in July, their holiday is being described as a "babymoon" but is also a family affair with Kate's family, including her parents, said to be staying at a nearby villa. The royal couple flew to the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique last week and are reportedly staying in a villa that costs £19,000 ($29,000) a week to rent!

Unsuitable Placement [Yaoi] Pet 'n' Master |2|Hey Part two Enjoy x
I hated it. Hated it, but there was nothing I could do. This is what we were brought up and bred to be. To serve and succumb to the powers of our masters, to stretch, bend and follow the orders of them, to pleasure and please them whenever they desired.
Unlike my friends, as we became of age to be trained, moulded into shape and taken away from our village, I did not accept my fate. The sick bastards at the centre liked it, strong will they said, rebellious behaviour, some masters liked that, liked to be able to punish mercilessly and break pets. They tied us up, whipped us, beat us into submission, to train us. My friends accepted it, they were brainwashed, their personalities washed away, souls bent to serve, now useless objects ready to be sold and ordered around. The whip and house master took me up to the head master a week earlier. Laughing at me; Jeering, calling me names, pulling my tail.
"Oh Tammy, What have you done this time? Hmm?"
"Ready for a good beating kitty?" They jeered as they pulled my restraints toward the room. The door opened and we went in. A slim man with long features sat behind the desk, his greying hair immaculately placed and his suit was creaseless. His stern gaze met us and almost of it's own accord my head snapped down and my tail hit the floor. ,
"Ahh, Darrel come in." he spoke softly. We ventured further into the room, an errand boy sat in the corner, his uniform showed great wealth and in one hand he held a measuring tape.
"May I?" he asked, eyeing me up and down.
"Yes, go ahead, hold him still." He came closer, unwinding the tape, measuring me, everywhere, making judgements.
"Hmm yes, yes he seems fit. One week from now at the house?" He asked.
"Yes, yes any necessities? For his keep this week I mean?" The errand boy delved into his bag. He pulled out a sealed note and handed it to the head master.
"Any reason for the harshness, may I ask?" I gulped that did not sound good.
"The master's son acted out sir, master has decided the consequences of his outburst sir." The headmaster nodded.
"Thank you for your time, till next week?" Showing the errand boy the door:
"Till next week." He left.
"You're in for a hard time with the Penlodge's, Tammy. I'm warning you to behave there, they won't take nonsense." He sighed looking almost sad. "Take him to the dungeons Darrel" At those words I bolted.
I spent a week down there, no food and cruel treatment, a life, I was told, to get used too. Being a slave has never bothered me, I grew up in a slave boy's world, yet to be told, ordered and trained to be a pet was not something I had ever dreamed nor wanted and it killed me.
Serving was alright, cooking and cleaning I could do, but I couldn't and never would do such things unless they were for my owner's goodwill. Stripped of the little powers I could have gathered now and expected to pleasure and become a whore, a plaything, to be shown off by and for my master. I never settled about the issue, where most did, most pets loved it, cherished it believed it to be their Destiny. I could think, breathe and look after myself just as they could, why should I be the one kept as a caged animal?
The night before, they whipped me ruthlessly. I could no longer stand, so they dragged me and threw me in the cage in the back of the van. Hands chained behind me, I was too weak to move, so I lay crumpled at the back of the van. This was what they wanted; for me to look pathetic and feeble when I arrived at my 'new home'.
The whip master stopped the van and pulled me out the back of the cage. Pulling me to my feet; attaching a chain to the rough collar that scraped at my neck.
We walk up the drive; I take my first glance at the house. House, well it's more of a palace as far as I can tell. Ivy crawls up the granite grey walls; it goes deep red near the top, as the summer season green changes to rosy autumn reds. Grand staircases with two flights cross over twice at the front of the house, leading to two heavy oak doors. Thousands of window panes sparkle and glisten at me in the evening sunlight. In the sunset the walls look as if flames are dancing on them, a beautiful yet slightly terrifying scene to walk towards.
Two men stand a couple of stairs up from the foot of the stairs. At the bottom stand two guards.
The older of the two men is in his fifties; his thick brown hair is beginning to turn silver. Steely grey eyes blink out from behind silver spectacles. His set face meant business, not a man I wanted to cross. His smart black suit looked tailored, as did his shiny court shoes and in one hand he carried a maple wood cane. The whip master, Darrel, a hoax of a man with no whit and a violent temper, dragged me closer to my impending doom.
As we got closer to the men I got an enhanced look at the other man. Much younger; maybe a son to the other, he was slouching and bored he leaned against the balustrade. He had broad shoulders and was wearing a black wife beater under an opened up band hoodie, he wore dark skinny jeans and bare feet, and his long fringe fell into his stormy cobalt eyes.
Then I saw it. Its burnished black leather entwining, curled neatly together, shimmering forebodingly in the sunlight. The handle and end tip brushed each other at the clasp that attached it to his battered leather belt, near his belt buckle at the front of his jeans. My eyes widened and my fresh scars blazed as his eyes lay upon me. He moved his hand from his side to the whip as if trying to block it from my view.
All of a sudden Darrel was pushing me toward them; I stumbled and tripped onto the hard gravel floor. I felt so weak, I tried to stand, but couldn't. I tried a few times but failed. Fear and dread washed over me as a singular cold voice washed over me and sank into my skin. It cracked the air with its shrill voice:
"Stay." I fell back down and listened as the conversation, short as it was drove daggers into my scarred flesh. They all left and I thought I was alone; I looked up a bit and realized the guy about my age was now coming toward me. I closed my eyes.
He gently turned me onto my back, some of the gravel scratched along my unattended wounds making them bleed again. I hiss in pain as he picks me up as he does so he whispers, in a calm voice;
"Hush now" I do, I'm so tired. He begins to carry me inside and against my own will I lay my head against his chest and begin to fall into a slumber. I don't hear the orders, or his sighs, or the opening of doors as people look out on us. I hear a door open and I feel a bed under me.
After cleaning me up and tending to my wounds, he took me back to the bedroom, I could small food.
"Come on Tammy," He whispered pulling me into his lap and offering me a bottle. A bottle? What am I five? I wanted to shout and scream at him. He forced it past my tired lips, squeezing some onto my tongue, "Please Tammy, try and drink some." It was warm and succulent so I did, I felt like such a baby but at that point I didn't care. He stroked my hair and back, "Good boy Tammy, Good Boy"
Afterwards he held me as he watched his television; I slept in his arms, surprisingly happy. I heard the door open and close, raised voices and then he moved me and left the room. After a while I feel asleep, later he came in, gathered me up and took me to a bed, laying me under the covers, he moved the hair from my face and buried his face in my neck. His hot breath hit my neck as he talked to me or to himself, I'm not sure;
"It's okay Tammy. He won't kill you; I won't let him, I promise." That shocked and scared me but he'd be mad if he knew I was awake so I stayed perfectly still. I fell back asleep listening to his mutterings.
