Right to Free Cell Phones? Sen. David Vitter Speaks with Michelle Fields of Next Generation TV (Video)
A $2 billion program, LifeLine gives free cell phones to people who are on Federal Welfare. Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana) has been an outspoken critic of the program, alleging that he has first-hand evidence of fraud and abuse of this system; he speaks with Michelle Fields about this emerging issue. Arguing that companies like TracFone have incentive to sign as many people up for the program as possible, there is nothing, Vitter says, to keep them from giving away as many as possible without always verifying their eligibility for the benefit.

Brainerd, MN Mediation Services from Edward R. Shaw, P.A.
Mediation is a wonderful tool for working out disputes of all kinds in a cost effective and practical manner. Attorney Edward R. Shaw offers capable and efficient mediation services.
What is mediation?
Mediation is when a neutral third party (the mediator) facilitates communication between parties to promote a settlement of the issues between them. Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR is a method of resolving legal disputes without going to trial. ADR is required by the court in most family law cases, including divorce, paternity and custody, unless domestic abuse is involved. Mediation can save money, reduce emotional and physical stress, and even create a framework in which future conflicts can be resolved without resorting to court intervention.
Attorney Edward R. Shaw is a qualified neutral under Rule 114 of the Minnesota Rules of General Practice and will use his extensive experience in family law to help you find creative solutions to your legal disputes through the process of mediation. He has been mediating family law cases for last nine years and has a unique perspective on the family law issues faced by you and your family.
What is the role of a mediator?
A mediator remains a neutral party and helps settle legal issues by facilitating communication between opposing parties. The mediator may not impose his or her judgment on the parties and may not force a settlement. The mediator also may not give legal advice to either party.
What issues are addressed by a mediation?
Mediation can resolve any issues that you want settled including custody, property and debt division, parenting time and support. In a divorce, the mediator will review all the issues required to be addressed in the divorce order, including property and debt division, spousal support, child custody, and parenting plans.
What is the cost of mediation?
Most mediators charge by the hour for work done prior to, during and after the mediation. Mediation fees are typically split between the parties. Mediation can take anywhere from a couple of hours to an entire day or longer. Attorney Edward R. Shaw's hourly rate for Mediation Services is $190.00.
Is mediation confidential?
If you designate information as confidential, the mediator will not share it with the other side. The mediator's notes and material are also kept confidential. At trial, the mediator cannot testify and the judge cannot hear about any settlement offers made during the mediation process.
What happens if we do not reach an agreement in mediation?
If you do not reach an agreement in mediation, the judge can decide the issues between you at trial.
Disclaimer –
I have tried to make this guide helpful for anyone considering mediation, but the rules in my profession require that I tell you that this guide is not a substitute for an attorney or professional legal advice. Every individual situation is different and how the rules in this guide will apply to your situation may vary. You should receive competent legal advice from our office before making any legal decisions.
For more information to determine whether mediation is right for your situation visit the following website from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN that provides further insight into mediation services. Family Mediation – A How-to Guide.
The State of Minnesota also provides information on Mediation through the Court system on the MN Courts Website.

- But bullet points, because I don't want to give you high blood pressure or anything.
- I feel like it's been awhile since I've posted any actual content on this blog (if you can even call it that). I post my weekly pictures and call it good. So here is a little life recap/update.
- I think it miiiiiiight be safe to go out on a limb (or beyond the bathroom door, if you will) and say that Sam is potty-trained. And it wasn't nearly as horrific and all-encompassing as all the parenting magazines and Pinterest articles and blog posts led me to believe it would be. Maybe that's because I waited until he was 3.5 years old, maybe because we had a very long talk about how failure is not an option. Who really knows. But one day, quite randomly, I took off his diaper and said no more. You can wear undies or nothing at all. For some reason, he is NOT into underwear at all. We have every type of underwear too, so he is not lacking a variety to choose from, he just doesn't want to wear it. So he is free (in every sense of the word) and potty-trained and loving it! He even poops on the potty!!! It is so awesome!!! My phone is clogged up (haaaaa PUN!) with 8 frillion pictures of poop in the potty because MUWM, TAKE A PICTURE! THIS MUST BE DOCUMENTED. He's proud of himself, I'm super proud of him, and I am REALLY glad to only have one child in diapers. I'd almost forgotten what it was like.
- Molly and I have some sort of upper respiratory, chest/head cold and if I haven't blown my spleen straight out of my nose yet, then that is proof enough that Jesus Christ exists. Molly prefers to wipe her snot all over me instead of any sort of tissue, so that only reinforces why I wear only the cheapest and crappiest of clothing. Although now our PX and commissary are being moderated by Courtesy Patrol (I kid you not), so I need to make sure I'm dressed decently enough to not get Steve in hot water. And if I may insert a useless hashtag within a blog post- #ohkorea
- This weekend we are rearranging the kids' bedrooms so that they are sharing a room. Because potty training didn't do enough mental damage to me obviously! In all honesty, it's about to get hotter than sin here, and with no AC, I feel bad when my kids wake up sweaty and hot with only a fan to cool them. So we have a portable AC unit that I acquired off a yard sale page recently, but it is just one unit. How do I pick between my two children? (Some days that is easy.) (Kidding, future Sam and Molly.) (But maybe not entirely.) So since they are both pretty good sleepers, we are moving Molly's crib and dresser into Sam's room and hooking the AC unit up in there. We will move the big bookcase cube and all toys into Molly's room and have a little playroom. Steve seems to think this will be the end of toys in our living room, and that usually just makes me laugh really hard.
- I was talking to another mom at the playground the other day while we were mindlessly pushing our kids on the swings and she commented on Molly's hair. "I love her hair. I wish I had it!" "Me too," I said. "But you do!" she said. "She got it from you, right?" And then I kissed her feet and declared her my best friend 4evah. In a less creepy reality, I just told her that my hair was naturally the color of dirt and that I am just trying to look more like Molly. It's not gonna be so cute come August when I have to start trying to pretend I'm going for that "ombre look" while my hair lady is still in the US of A vacationing.
- I've started boycotting cooking dinner. If it can't be made in the crockpot, it won't be made. If it won't be made, then aren't we so lucky to live in the land of home delivery? Amen?
- Sam calls cherry tomatoes "sweet puh-tay-ohs". That never gets old.
- A siren went off this morning. I never got any sort of word that there was a test, so I was sorta kinda freaking out. I ran to the window and looked out at the courtyard, expecting to see people running and screaming. Instead I saw a lot of people looking out of their windows and a couple casually pushing their baby in the stroller, staring back at all the faces in the windows. So that was something.
- Steve wants to buy a 9-passenger van from a guy that is PCSing soon. I just... why on earth do we need to seat 9 people? Now if we had gotten this van BEFORE our families had come to town, yes, that would have been super helpful. But now? Silly. But he is a grown man, and I told him he can do whatever he wants. I will just insert my opinions frequently until he sees it my way. Besides, the only van I'm ever going to be willing to drive is this one. They are hella popular here, and I think they are so cute. Also, I might be able to greatly reduce my PR on parallel parking if we were to snag one of these babies.
- Best way to repair cracked, rough heels? I need help, folks. Steve says I need a sandblaster/chainsaw combo, but I prefer a less bloody method to fix these skanky feet of mine. Please fill my inbox with your knowledge. I'm all ears. (with a side of gross feet)
- Molly has watched me draw dots on the Magna Doodle so many times for Sam (so he can connect them and make a letter/number), that she no longer draws anything, but just sits there and pokes at it to make dots. How to remedy this...
- I really don't miss the States. Like, at all.
- Preschool has been reduced to one day a week for Sam and Molly. This happened a few months ago, actually. They were going every Tuesday and Thursday and then Sam REALLY did not wanna go. I didn't want "school" to leave a bad taste in his mouth (especially this early, and when they are not really learning much anyway), so I cut out Thursdays. I can squeeze all my errands and childless activities in on Tuesdays if I really try, so it hasn't been terrible. Although there are quite a few Thursdays where I wonder what on earth I was thinking when I made that call. (Helloooooooo terrible twos!)
- Conversations with Sam lately go like this:
- Sam- Is it hot, Muwm?
- Me- Yes, it's hot.
- Sam- I'm sorry it's hot. It's all my fault.
- Me- It's not your fault, honey. It's just hot. That's the way it is.
- Sam- It's all Myer's fault?
- Me- No, it's not Myer's fault. It's no one's fault. No one can control the weather.
- Sam- It's all your fault. It's ok.
- Me- No! It's not my fault! It's NO ONE'S FAULT. God made the seasons, and we happen to be in summer, where it's just HOT. If you have an issue with that (like I do), then you need to chat with Him about that, ok?
- Sam- It's all Daddy's fault?
- Me- *beating my head on the steering wheel*
- If I make it through these toddler years with a scrap of my sanity intact, I'm gonna go ahead and call that a victory.
- Has anyone used a toddler alarm clock similar to this one? I am considering getting one for Sam so that I can sleep past 5am regularly. I can only appreciate watching the sun rise if it's done on occasion, not every single mother-lovin' day of the week.
- Computer battery is at 10% and I think my brain is running on slightly less, so it's time I sign off. HAPPY WEEKEND!
No pictures! How's THAT for a change?

Whatever cracked heels remedy you find please share I have the same problem :-/ I hope the kids sharing a room goes as smoothly for you as it has for us! I'm actually at a point where I believe it is going to be hard to separate them. I have heard good things about the toddler clocks but I have never tried one and completely understand your reasoning for wanting to try!ReplyDelete
I've boycotted cooking dinner too. And meal-planning? I haven't done that somewhat successfully in like a year. I've had Panera 4 times this week and today will be #5….ReplyDelete
By the by, we went to Campbell this week to visit friends and we thought Clarksville was nice. The area around the base wasn't that great, but when you get farther out it was really pretty and seemed like a cute/functional town.
Also, on how you don't miss the states, I don't miss Pennsylvania. I lived there for 23 years, but I don't think we'll ever go back. Just keep moving, right?!
Someone needs to take the fall for the heat! Also I love my girls sharing a room, and I laugh along with you at the idea of the toys staying out of the living room. I think they secretly multiply at night and wander around the house so I can step on them before I've had my coffee.ReplyDelete
I can't imagine living in a country that doesn't have central air. Good luck with the rearranging!ReplyDelete
That was delightful! I loved every bullet point and don't a lot of head shaking in agreement for many of them. If I wasn't so tired bc my children have literally sucked my will to live for me I'd write more. XoReplyDelete
Yay for Sam being potty trained!!!! :)ReplyDelete
Seriously, why can't dinner just make itself? Just got into my 2nd trimester, and every night I am annoyed that dinner doesn't just materialize.ReplyDelete
Rough heels: I have this problem and it is bad. Deep painful cracks and dry skin. The only thing that helps is slathering on a ridiculous amount of heavy lotion every night and putting socks on over it. If you come up with a better idea, let me know.
Onaroo clock: We love it. We got it when my daughter climbed out of her crib at 18 months and she really got the concept pretty quick. Now when I open her door to get her up in the morning she announces, "Clocks green!" and blows past me to get to playing. Which means I get to sleep until 7am. That darn clock is worth every penny.
I got a rare pedicure last week and the woman used a microplane on my foot. Like the one you'd use to zest a lime or grate cheese. They're now smooth and soft! You might try it in the shower?ReplyDelete
Way to go Sam! It's the best feeling when you get all wound up about potty training and then... it's no big deal at all.ReplyDelete
We have the OK to Wake clock. It doesn't stop the sun from rising at 4am, so we don't always have a ton of luck with it this time of year. There is a lot of discussion about the alien. Sometimes we can talk Walden back to his room to read books or play until the clock lights up. We did have to set it close to when he woke up at first and gradually move the wakeup time back, so he could build up a tolerance for waiting. I guess the occasional wins make it totally worthwhile!
First time commenting but I just found out about a product for feet last week and I'm currently trying it out. It's called Baby Foot. It's made out of fruit and you put your feet in these baggy type booties for an hour and within a week your feet will start to peel all the dry skin off and your heals. I didn't believe it at first myself but I read a ton of reviews on Amazon and on their Facebook page and people are raving about. I just tried it for the first time 2 nights ago so I have to started the pealing process yet but I can't wait. If you google it you will find reviews and pictures. I ordered mine on Amazon.ReplyDelete
I've been looking for a preschool here that will do only a couple days a week. I need SOMETHING for my sanity. But either the Korean schools are expensive and 5 days a week, or the closest 2-day program is right beside Yongsan (45 min from me) and probably won't take her until she's 3 :(ReplyDelete
9 passenger van = bus lane!!
Also, I know where you're at they're shutting down the command sponsored program... will you guys be kicked out early?
For my feet (and body) I use this.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018DE6AI/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERReplyDelete
Then I put gold bond lotion on my feet and then socks and leave them on for at least an hour. Better if you can leave them on over night!
I miss Korea, actually. I'd miss it more if he would've been stationed at Yonsang or Casey. I'm KIND OF hoping that eventually we get orders overseas, next time around I'll go with. However, if he winds up at camp stanley again i'll probably hang myself.ReplyDelete
Way to go, Sam! And geez - we don't get to see one of those photos? ;-)ReplyDelete
Ha! Jarrod thought the same thing when we moved into this house and had our playroom upstairs. "No toys downstairs in the living room!" Yeah right!
so NOT ready for no-A/C season. naturally, this is the year the baby comes, my family visits, and at the exact same time housing has planned construction that will mean scaffolding blocking our only two means of air circulation for all of july and august. thinking i should have gone back to america to birth this baby, haha.ReplyDelete
Yay for potty trained Sam!! Love the commando aspect of it all. Whatever works little man. I am totally going through the same thing as you and Molly and my nose will not stop dripping. So I am using the baby's burp rags. Haha. I am sending cool wishes over to you because I know I'd die without A/C. Like not even being dramatic die.ReplyDelete
Quinn has a real clock, knows how to tell time, and understands that he is not allowed to get out of bed before 6. None of this matters. He gets up whenever he pleases.ReplyDelete
I just LOVE your bullet posts. Those have to be one of my favorites, of course right after the ones filled with pics of your cute kids :)ReplyDelete
Yea for SAM!!!!! Awesome news!!! I think potty training is a WHOLE lot easier if we as parents wait for the kid to be ready instead of when society says we should be ready. I know it helped with Lizzie. She just decided to do it one day. :)
You'll survive the toddler years, I promise. :)
Yes i am playing catch up on my blog reading so you may have already fixed the foot problem but if you haven't... I would suggest getting a pedicure, letting them to the heavy lifiting, then pick up a pumice stone and lava rock pumice stone. They are fairly cheap about 6-7$ each. The lava rock is more course and the the standard pumice stone is finer. Use them quickly and gently before a shower and after until your feel feel the way you want. Then you can start cutting down to once or twice a week.ReplyDelete

I recently experienced shock and awe in the web analytics industry. I was speaking with a VP of Marketing who had asked for best practices in organizational success with web analytics and marketing measurement. She confessed to knowing very little about web analytics and how their marketing group could benefit from such tools.
But before I had the chance to reply, she quickly pointed out that they had already decided only a few users would be allowed to access the entire system. While their organization numbered several hundred employees, including around 70 in marketing alone, they felt that only four employees — that's right — four, should have access to all the marketing data in this analytics package. All other individuals — anyone that wanted a report, an analysis, or simply had a question — would have to request it from one of these four people. In this day and age, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
The vendor she selected, which I'll leave anonymous, sold them on the idea that organizational access to data was "bad" and it created more problems than it solved. To drive this point home, the vendor charges several *thousand* dollars per additional user — effectively prohibiting the company from really growing beyond the four initial users without some serious budget considerations.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing — just when I thought the days of Ivory Tower analytics were over! In all my experience, success is a direct function of organizational analytics adoption. When marketers have data, they can make decisions. Informed decisions. These decisions drive profit and maximize ROI, far better than your gut. In other words, data removes the subjectivity. If you take this away, marketers are just guessing what works, what doesn't, and why. So why would you even consider this?
The misguided notion is that organizational access to data creates "more problems than it solves". This elitist, Ivory Tower philosophy basically asserts that a mere 1% of your organization is "smart enough" to make decisions from your data. While this is convenient for the vendor that advocated this expensive per user model to the VP of Marketing, it couldn't be further from the truth.
Here's the reality — problems can occur with end-user access to data — but they occur when end-users get the WRONG data. Not when end-users get the RIGHT data. In other words, the problem is not with the end-user, it's with the data itself.
So how do you ensure your end-users are getting the RIGHT data? First, understand what questions you'd like to answer with analytics — before deploying the system. Second, agree on what metrics best answer these questions — for example, is it click-thru rate, revenue per click, or profit per customer? Third, discuss the results with your team or group — while the data may suggest a campaign is not working, you have many options for what actions you ultimately take.
The Omniture Best Practices team is here to help you thru this process, so please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
In parting I say do not get blindsided by Ivory Tower analytics — they ultimately cost you more, and severely limit your success. Data mongers beware — your days are numbered!

"A Safe Place Where Teachers Can Teach and All Students Can Learn
How do I contact the school?
The office is open from Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 4:00. Stop by anytime, or if you need to call the phone number is (661) 631-5220. If you need to report an absence please call (661) 631-4915, and if you need to send us a fax please use (661) 872-3797.
How do I get to College Heights?
College Heights is located by the cross streets of Mt. Vernon and Columbus. You've probably seen our kids playing at recess as you drive by on Highway 178.
Why is attendance important?
For two reasons:
- Attendance is mandatory. Students are required to be at school every day. If they are absent more than three days, they are legally truant.
- We want your kids to succeed and do well- we all do. For students to do well in school, they must be here!
What can I do to help my child at school?
There are several things you can do to help your child succeed at school.
- Make sure he/she comes to school every day.
- Make sure their homework is being done every day. Get them in a routine of doing their homework at the same time every day. As soon as they get home, or right after dinner are both great times for homework. Don't put it off until too late, because they'll be too tired to do well on it.
- Read with them every day! This makes a huge difference! Get books from the library- it doesn't cost a dime, and your kids will really benefit.
- Spend time with them. Turn off the TV and play a game with them. Go for a hike. Do a project together. Give them lots of hugs. Tell them you are proud of them.
- Support your child's teacher. We all want the same thing- let's work together!
How do I find out about school events?
Read your monthly school newsletter. Also the office sends home special notices whenever something is coming up. (Check your students backpacks daily- the notes are probably there!)
When is the next school holiday?

When training your pint size dog you're going to need some basic training equipment. If your little dog isn't too much of a puller and they don't get too crazy on a leash,
you can use a martingale collar like this. I also like these a lot because they keep your dog safe, because once the collar's on, they can't slip their heads out of it.
If your little dog does like to pull on leash, I would definitely go with a harness like this. This one is actually padded and so it's real comfortable on their chest as well.
I like to use a regular 6 foot leather leash. Luckily leather leashes come in all sorts of great colors these days, but the nice thing about a leather leash is that the more you use it,
the softer it gets and the more comfortable it gets. And you're not going to give yourself rope burn.
You're also going to need a little treat bag like this so that you have treats handy at any moment.

The second photoshoot shot by Mr. Nathan Branch would appear to be all good and by all good I mean he made both Raukura and myself (if I can be so brash) look way cooler than we actually are in rill life.
Thanks again to Raukura and of course Mr. Nathan Branch for a splendid day.

I have to admit that, as the photographer, it's easy to make two attractive, interesting people look good.
Statuary in the Auckland Domain Wintergardens on Flickr.
I'm obsessed with the Auckland Domain statuary lately. Or maybe I should just leave off the "lately" bit, because it's so far been a multi-year obsession.
I can't help it. I'm a sucker for neo-classical public statuary, and Auckland has some really lovely pieces.
And besides, statues don't move when you're trying to take pictures of them. Win-Win!

We operate in some of the poorest countries in the world where the value of human life approaches zero and where corruption on an unimaginable level is commonplace … The fire at the Tazreen Fashion factory in Bangladesh last November was the result of at least one customer's decision that providing minimal working conditions and subsistence wages are not cost-effective."

The Last of the Really Great Adrenalin Junkies
John Fairfax, a man who crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a rowboat. A rowboat!
It took him six months to travel the Atlantic ocean alone, and over a year to row the Pacific ocean with the aid of his then girlfriend, Sylvia Cook. He nearly went mad on his lonely Atlantic crossing, and he and Ms. Cook were considered lost at sea at one point during their Pacific crossing.
From the NYTimes article: "At 13, in thrall to Tarzan, he ran away from home to live in the jungle. He survived there as a trapper with the aid of local peasants, returning to town periodically to sell the jaguar and ocelot skins he had collected."
I'm not sure an Xbox would have been enough.
Fairfax died in early 2012 at the ripe old age of 74, which is especially impressive considering how on the edge he lived his life.

A woman in West Valley City said her husband put a gun to her head and threatened to kill her if "she didn't drop divorce papers," according to a report filed with the Salt Lake County jail.
The episode happened late Saturday. After pointing the gun, the woman stated that her husband detained her in the home and walked around holding a pistol, the report says.
When police arrived, the suspect exited the house with a black air gun that had no toy identifiers, police wrote. No other guns were found in the home.
The husband was being held at the jail Monday without bail on suspicion of kidnapping and assault.

As small as this scene is, it still kills me. Amy hasn't had any human contact in years and suddenly the love of her life comes back. All that time, waiting, and when she went out that day to do her rounds the last thing she expected was to see Rory. She's trying so hard to keep up that front, that she doesn't care but she does. She wants to try and make herself look a bit more presentable for him and then she thinks about it, and why she should care? She shouldn't. She lived there for thirty-six years on her own. She doesn't need him anymore only, yes, she really does.
This is one of the BEST episodes the revival series has ever done. Karen is such a fantastic actress. The final ten...
Only episode of Who that brought me close to tears

NHL's Canadiens well represented at Sochi Games
Montreal, QC, Canada (4E Sports) – The Montreal Canadiens are well-represented in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, with eight of their players seeing action for their respective countries in the event.
The number is the most for any team in the Eastern Conference and tied the fourth-most of any NHL team.
While he takes pride with that achievement, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said the team's director of amateur scouting Trevor Timmins should be given credit for that.
Timmins and his staff were responsible for drafting four of the eight players picked — forward Max Pacioretty (United States); defensemen Alexei Emelin (Russia) and P.K. Subban (Canada).
Goaltender Carey Price (Canada). Forward Tomas Plekanec (Czech Republic) and defenseman Andrei Markov (Russia) were picked by the Canadiens prior to Timmins joining the team in 2002.
The only players not drafted by the Canadiens to make an Olympic team were backup goalie Peter Budaj (Slovakia), signed as a free agent in 2011, and defenseman Raphael Diaz (Switzerland), who never was drafted and made his NHL debut with the Canadiens in the 2011-12 season.
"Six of those guys were Montreal draft picks and most of them were drafted by Trevor's staff," Bergevin said. "Our drafting, from Day 1 when I got here, was the way to build a team. This shows we are on the right track."
Bergevin especially was happy for Subban to make the Canadian team. The 2013 Norris Trophy winner enters the Canadiens' game Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers tied for the lead among NHL defenders with 10 goals and fourth with 34 points.
"I came here two years ago, he was a healthy scratch," Bergevin said. "The coaching staff did a great job with him; he won the Norris [Trophy]. Now he's part of Team Canada for the Olympics. We've done the right things with P.K. and I'm proud that he'll be able to represent his country at the next Olympics."
Bergevin also was happy for Price, one of three goalies picked for the team. Bergevin said Price has been indispensable for his team this season.

Finish strong was the motto the Saints came up with going into playoffs! Stealing their chants won't give them the same results, it just makes the look unoriginal! Then again, this from the same team that came up with the "rise up" stupidity, how lame! LMFAO

So if we had beat the saints they would have been out of the playoffs?

Provo • Legendary BYU football coach LaVell Edwards knew that Mike Leach had a "great mind" for the game, just by the questions the new Washington State coach would ask when he visited the Cougars' spring practices in Provo early in his coaching career.
"Very inquisitive, very detail-oriented," Edwards said this summer, about his first recollections of Leach. "You just knew he was going to move up through the ranks. Just an incredibly intelligent guy."
Leach, who graduated from BYU in 1983 — but never played football for the blue Cougars — returns to Provo on Thursday night when BYU plays host to his red Cougars at 8:15 p.m. at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Much of Leach's "Air Raid" offense, which he used so successfully at Texas Tech until being dismissed in 2009 in a cloud of controversy regarding his treatment of a player with a concussion, will be familiar to BYU fans who were around in Edwards' early days. Leach acknowledges that's where he got some of its key elements.
"I think offensively, we may look more BYU than BYU does, if you reflect on the LaVell Edwards days. You know what I mean?" Leach said. "I mean, there are plays that we run … and we don't run them exactly, but we got them from the golden days back there at BYU when LaVell Edwards was there."
Bronco Mendenhall and BYU's defensive coaches believe WSU might try to throw the football on every down Thursday in the game to be televised nationally by ESPN.
"The ball could be in the air all night," the coach said.
Edwards says the Cougars didn't throw the ball every down, like many people believe, but tried to attack all parts of the field and utilize as many receivers and running backs as possible. He thinks that is what Leach does best with the Air Raid.
"During that time, we had quite a few people come and visit, and hang around and observe, and that's how a lot of that got started with Hal [Mumme] and Mike Leach and other guys," Edwards said. "We shared a lot of information in those days."
Leach said Edwards is "easily one of the greatest coaches that has ever coached. And I think that's indisputable." He said he would hang out at BYU spring practices with offensive line coach Roger French, Norm Chow and Edwards and soak up all the knowledge he could get.
"They were throwing the ball all over the place," Leach said. "It influenced me directly, specifically. It is the core of a lot of things we do offensively, the philosophy of attacking the whole field, and then you take it a step further … when Boston College beat Miami, they talked about LaVell Edwards and his group influencing them to throw the ball."
Due to his many quirks — his fascination with pirates is well-known — Leach isn't close to resembling the typical BYU graduate. But he says he flourished in Provo, aside from often running afoul of the Honor Code office due to the length of his hair — as chronicled in the book Swing Your Sword, which he co-authored with Bruce Feldman.
In a teleconference Saturday, he told reporters that he met his wife, Sharon, at BYU. He also lived in the Helaman Hall dorms, and his daughter, Janeen, attended BYU. Then he shared a classic Leach ramble.
"I would hang out at her apartment," Leach said when asked how he met his wife. "I would go there and they would be watching "M*A*S*H," and I would change the channel to watch "Gunsmoke." I mean, can you imagine watching "M*A*S*H" or even "Saturday Night Live" when "Gunsmoke" is on? It is almost sacrilegious to anything American.
"I tried to get them back on track, which I think I did successfully. Sharon was a bit of a tough case, so I had to marry her where I could keep an eye on her a lot more frequently."

I was first licensed in 1964 as a novice, then general class, in junior high. I started with very modest, homebrew equipment, then a DX-60 (working CW and AM) transmitter and a Drake 2B receiver. Replaced the DX-60 with a Hallicrafters HT-37 and worked that equipment for years on HF CW and SSB using quads, single and triband beams. Finally dumped the HT-37 and Drake 2B for a clean TS-520 that I used for a few more years. Over the years I have primarily worked HF, with some 2 mtr FM thrown in along the way. With the sunspots leaving HF in such bad shape in 2007/2008, I became interested in the HF digital modes. Currently run a TS-2000 and 3el yagi on HF. I also became very interested in satellite work and joined AMSAT. Then, over several months I pieced together the current station which consists of the TS-2000 and Directive Systems wide lobe yagis on 2mtrs and 70 cm (5 el/11 el) horizontally polarized and fixed at 30 degs at about 35', mounted above the HF yagi. No preamps and 2 ea. 70' feeds of LMR-400. I am using SatPC32 for predicting sat passes and controlling doppler. You will mostly find me on VO52, FO29 and AO7 , but I also like to use my D7 and Elk handheld on AO51, SO50, and AO27. I also am a regular user of the ISS digipeater and have made a number of ISS voice contacts. I also use a 2M12 with az/el for 2m tropo, EME (JT65B )and HSMS. If you send me a QSL, you will definitely get one in return. No SASE necessary. I look forward to working you on the sats or maybe on HF. 73's, Craig

Melt-in-your-mouth Salty-Sweet Bacon Panini goes over the top with the paring of salty bacon and sweet apple butter with melty Brie on top of raisin-walnut bread.
Southern Living DECEMBER 2012
Place Brie and bacon on raisin-walnut bread spread with apple butter. Spread outside of sandwiches with butter. Cook in a pre-heated panini press 2 to 3 minutes or until golden.
Wine Suggestion: "For white, try a Chenin Blanc, such as Champalou Vouvray from the Loire Valley ($17) or a California version such as Ballentine Vineyards ($17). If you just have to have red, then try Beaujolais or California Pinot Noir." --Richard Robinson, Wine Director, The Wine Shop at Western Supermarket, Mountain Brook, Alabama

Bangalore has the edge
Bangalore Diamond and Ian Brennan (nearest)
(Healy Racing Photos)
Brennan moved the son of Elusive City to challenge over a furlong out and eventually edged out Miss Bella by a head near the line.
McCourt later said "Bangalore Diamond doesn't do too much when he gets to the front but at least he won't get too much for only winning by a head! We'll keep him at it over the winter."
