Cowboys Game Versus Fresno State Picked Up By ESPN Networks
It was announced earlier today that the Wyoming Cowboys home game on November 9, 2013 against the Fresno State Bulldogs has been moved to an ESPN Networks broadcast.
It was announced earlier today that the Wyoming Cowboys home game on November 9, 2013 against the Fresno State Bulldogs has been moved to an ESPN Networks broadcast.
The Wyoming Cowboys suffered their second loss this season, as they fell 42-21 Saturday night on the road at Texas State. The game was delayed in the second quarter for 3 hours, 28 minutes due to lightning. The Bobcats out-scored UW 35-14 after the delay.
University of Wyoming Junior Quarterback Brett Smith set two school records in last Saturday's 56-23 Cowboy win at Air Force. For his efforts, Smith has been named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week. He earns the accolade for the sixth time in his career at UW.
Brett Smith set two school records, accounted for 511 yards of total offense and five touchdowns, as the Wyoming Cowboys rolled past the Air Force Falcons, 56-23, in Colorado Springs Saturday night.
Boosted by two interception returns for touchdowns by the defense, the Wyoming Cowboys won their second straight game with a 35-7 victory over the Northern Colorado Bears Saturday at War Memorial Stadium.
For the second time in two weeks the Wyoming Cowboys have had a defensive player named Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week. It was announced by the league office Monday that Sophomore Defensive End Eddie Yarbrough has earned the distinction.
Brett Smith completed 22 of 38 passes for 295 yards for Wyoming (1-1). Three of his TD passes went to Dominic Rufran, who scored on passes of 1, 6 and 40 yards -- all in the third quarter.
Football season is finally upon us! It is time to get out your brown and gold to support the Wyoming Cowboys as they enter another great season of Cowboy football. Don't miss the home opener, Wyoming vs. Idaho, Sept. 7th, 2:00 PM at War Memorial Stadium.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
Williams knew he wanted to be a news anchor by the ripe old age of eight and began boning up for the big time by staging imaginary newscasts from his living room in Elmira, New York (He also published a weekly newspaper using his father's shirt cardboards).
Being a television news anchor is a demanding job. When she's not on the air twice a day, CTV Saskatoon's Chantel Huber rolls up her sleeves and gets right in the trenches with her coworkers – culling stories from the newswire, the internet, CTV affiliates and the previous night's newscast and rewriting the content into her own style of broadcast copy.
The lights shine brightly, the director gives the cue, the theme music swells to a climax, and Jonathan Mann tells the camera, "Good afternoon from the CNN Center; our top stories today...." It's a line he repeats every weekday as a news anchor at CNN International.
An anchor personality is also referred to as newscaster. He is responsible for delivering news to a local, regional or national broadcast audience on radio or TV.
The best news anchors and "live" reporters make their work look easy, but it isn't. Beyond voice, looks or delivery, the best possess what I call "skills without script."
At the networks the TV news anchors present the news. You know the people -- the ones sitting there behind a desk (or in the field) telling you what's happening in the world that day.

Giffgaff Review
Do you want to pay less for you mobile phone usage? Of course you do. Giffgaff offer you far cheaper prices than the major phone networks on PAYG.
- For example, to phone another mobile network will cost you 10p per minute on Giffgaff
- Orange will charge you 25p per minute
- O2 will also bill you 25p for each minute
- T-mobile charge 21p
- Vodaphone costs 25p
That isn't all, you will save money when you send a text and also use mobile Internet.
- Giffgaff charge 6p per text message
- Orange charge 10p
- O2 charge 12p per text
- T-mobile also costs 12p a text
- Vodaphone charge 10p per text
Giffgaff charge 20p per day for mobile Internet, when the major networks can charge you £1 or £2 for the same service.
As you can see it is easy to save 50 per cent or more when you switch to Giffgaff, and what is more they will also give you £5 of free credit to start you off.
You will also get free calls to other Giffgaff users and you will also find 0800 Freephone numbers are actually free on this mobile network, unlike most of the other networks.
You can keep you phone number when you make the switch all you need to do is contact you current mobile network and ask for your PAC number. The PAC number can then be used within your pages on the Giffgaff site to request your phone number be ported over. For me this process was really easy and took less than 24 hours to complete.
You may also want to use your old mobile with Giffgaff, if you are currently on O2 you don't need to do anything as the new SIM card will work straight away, but if you are on a different network you may need to unlock the phone before the Giffgaff SIM card will work. The way to unlock a mobile varies between different brands and I was able to easily unlock my phone for free but sometimes you may have to pay a small amount of money to get it unlocked, you will find all the details of how to unlock your mobile on Giffgaff's site after you have signed up.
Giffgaff Goodybags
Giffgaff offer you the chance to buy a bundle of services which can save you large amounts of money. Most of the Goodybags give you unlimited mobile Internet, unlimited texts and hundreds of included call minutes for a small charge. They also now offer special Goodybags for other mobile devices like a tablet computer or mobile dongle, which give you an amount of data bandwidth for the month.
When I joined Giffgaff I choose to buy a £10 Goodybag with unlimited mobile Internet, unlimited texts and 250 of included minutes. I didn't use all of the minutes that were included, not too much of mobile Internet either and as for texting I only sent a few, so the Goodybag clearly wasn't really good value for me. The surprising thing is that at the end of each month Giffgaff send you an email telling you how much you have used their services and advising you if you would do better to choose a different Goodybag or just top up you account as you normally would.
I have certainly saved a lot of money on my mobile costs since switching to Giffgaff and I now use mobile Internet which I would always previously avoid because the costs were too much with my previous mobile provider. Anybody who is on a pay as you go deal with other companies will clearly save a lot of money too when making the switch to Giffgaff.

Any credit you have will be lost if you switch to another provider, you can't transfer it over I'm afraid.

It was a normal night in the Jackson house hold. The children were asleep, the alarm system was set. Every door closed and every window locked. The air was clear and the crickets making soft music. But suddenly, there was a loud CRASH.
Michael Jackson had stumbled over a very expensive vase. He didn't wince even once as he walked awkwardly through the long halls. He was sleepwalking!! In his dark blue pajama bottoms and long sleeve silk shirt, he made his way into the kitchen.
The phone rang. The woman groaned, wondering who in the world was calling at 2:00 in the morning. Her long slender fingers clutched onto the phone and picked it up, putting it to her ear.
She yawned as she sat up.
"Hey Janet..." Michael said casually.
There was a pause.
"Hey. Is that how you greet your big brother?"
Another long pause.
"Michael, it's 2:00 in the morning. Is something wrong? Do you need me to come over?"
"Nothing's wrong. I was just hoping you'd come over so we can go sight seeing. I'm so curious about this city." He said. "Michael, I love you with all my heart, but I don't think that's a good idea. You know. Paparazzi and fans. Especially when it's the middle of the night." Janet sighed.
The phone disconnected.
"Michael?" The woman spoke into the phone. "Michael?" She repeated herself.
Michael walked outside and into his garage. Instead of a car, he randomly picked out his bike and started riding it until he made it to the gate to his house. He opened it and he was unconsciously out for a stroll! He was in the middle of a dark highway on his bike, making his way into the streets of Las Vegas. Fortunately no cars were on the street. Once he got into the public, He dumped his bike next to a bush and started walking around aimlessly. His eyes had no expression in them.
Michael seemed to appear well, awake! People watched him stroll in awe. Most of them stared and whispered to each other asking if that was really Michael Jackson walking casually in his pajamas in public in the dead of night. There weren't a lot of people there, so it wasn't like he was being hoarded with fans.
A teenage girl ran over in front of Michael and smiled. The sleepwalking man looked at her and stopped not saying anything.
The girl stuttered, "C-c-can I have your autograph? I'm a big fan of your music."
There was a pause.
Michael reached into his pocket and took out a yo-yo.
"Play with this..."
He yawned, walking past her. Dumbfounded, she looked at the toy and watched the man walk off curiously.
About a half hour of his walk, the paparazzi started raiding in. Someone had tipped the press. A couple reporters and photographers ran up to him and soon after flashes of light went everywhere. Michael's hair was all messed up and his eyes were half closed. One reporter approached him and spoke into the microphone.
"Michael Jackson, what brings you to the city of Las Vegas, New Mexico?" The man didn't respond other than wincing at the flashes of light. "Could you stop flashing that light at me?" He asked as kind as he could. But the flashes didn't stop. Asleep and a bit frustrated, he started continuously walking on. "Michael! You didn't answer my question!" The reporter chased him. Without notice, Michael stopped and turned to the reporter.
"Pizza." He answered flatly.
The man questioned, "Pizza, Mr. Jackson?"
"Do you know where I can get good pizza?"
Nobody answered. But the reporter couldn't just not answer.
Before he could answer Michael forwarded on. The Paparazzi stayed hot on his trail shouting out random questions. He barely even noticed them as he walked across a busy street.
Later on, he managed to find an empty ally. Michael awkwardly walked into the ally as the paparazzi continued to follow, taking pictures. Michael was starting to find a secluded place to go to the bathroom, IN THE ALLEY. He turned to see reporters still taking pictures. "Hey a little privacy please?" He asked quietly.
The reporter from before shooed off people. The world didn't necessarily need to watch Michael Jackson whiz on an old news paper next to a dumpster in an alley, when he didn't even know he was doing it. Some photographers took only a few pictures of his back side, WHILE he was whizzing. So it did go out in public.
The next morning, Michael woke up in his bedroom completely unaware of his night activities. He yawned and sat up. The phone rang right next to his bed. The man picked it up.
"Michael Joseph Jackson explain yourself!"
Michael had a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Excuse me? Janet??" He choked.
His sister sighed in understanding as she watched the news in her condo.
"Turn on the TV to channel 6. The paparazzi has video tape of you taking a whiz on some newspaper in an alley last night!"
Michael's eyes widened and adrenalin started pumping through his veins. He scrambled to his feet and started to look for the remote. Once he found it he turned it on to the news.
A news reporter announced, "Michael Jackson was seen walking around in his pajamas last night, apparently just out for a walk. There are rumors claiming he was merely sleepwalking, according to a witness. She had come up to Mr. Jackson asking for an autograph. Instead of an autograph, he had given her a yo-yo."
He raised his eyebrow.
"Janet, I think I was sleepwalking. I have no memory of any of this." He choked.
The news then showed footage of himself whizzing on newspaper.
"Absolutely nothing."
There was a long pause. Janet started to crack up laughing! Michael grinned, and put his hand to his temple. "Oh my gosh. I hope this doesn't effect anything..." He laughed. Once Janet was able to talk from laughing, she said, "All you have to do is explain to everyone you were sleepwalking." Michael rolled his eyes.
He turned his eyes to the television again. "Oh, on one last note... The police had found his bike in some bushes near the square. They had found his driver's license in the fanny pack on the bottom bar of the vehicle. It will be accessible to him once he finds out about this whole ideal."
"So that's why my feet hurt.." He mumbled.

BARDSTOWN, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The widow of an ambushed Bardstown Police officer says her late husband "will always be my hero."
In her first public statements Tuesday morning, Amy Ellis said "the pain will never go away" after her husband, 33-year-old Jason Ellis, was ambushed and killed Saturday on his way home from work. Officials are now saying he was targeted.
MORE: Wife: Slain officer will always 'be my hero'
Amy Ellis described her husband as being goofy and loving life. The two met 12 years ago in college. Amy said it was love at first sight.
On Tuesday Amy thanked the community for all the support. She said since her husband's murder she has felt sadness and anger, but through prayers she is able to live day to day.
The couple has two boys, a 6-year-old and a 7-year-old.
Kentucky State Police say Ellis was shot multiple times after he got out of his cruiser to pick up debris on Bluegrass Parkway in Nelson County. The Nelson County Coroner tells WHAS the shooter used a shotgun and was positioned on a hill. Police investigators there are asking for the public's help in finding suspects. We've learned that Ellis was not in his normal SUV cruiser because it was being painted.

Amy Ellis said her husband was a dedicated father, police officer and husband.
Bardstown Police Chief Rick McCubbin said there have been lots of tips and a few leads, but nothing to get investigators excited yet. McCubbin said police officers have been instructed to respond to calls in pairs.
Donations from all over the country have poured in to help totaling more than $22,000. That money is being offered as a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
The city of Bardstown is also offering in addition a $10,000 reward making the total $32,000.
Officer Ellis' K9 named Figo will be retired. Chief McCubbin said Figo lost his partner and would not work with another officer. Figo will be given to the Ellis family.

Traveling with kids is always a challenge. Maybe times have changed. I remember I used to get excited when we'd get a chance to pile in the car and go somewhere. It didn't matter if we were squeezed in, the seats weren't comfortable, or if it was too hot or too cold in the car.

What would you say if your 16-year-old daughter announced she was in love? Maybe you'd humor her. Maybe you'd want to know all the juicy details. Maybe you'd want to lay eyes on the fella to see if he's worth the attention and affection he's getting.
This much I can say with certainty, though — if I found out that my child's beau was a 51-year-old man?! I'd probably do one of three things: 1) Call the cops, 2) grab a set of brass knuckles and my GPS, or 3) Call the cops and tell them I'm grabbing my set of brass knuckles and my GPS so that they can have an ambulance in tow when we both get to his house.
But that's not what country singer slash child bride Courtney Stodden's father said when she married her boo, 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, last month. I repeat: He is 51. She is 16. And her #%@ father is OK with that? Who's the biggest loser? The freaky groom or the idiot parent?
I mean, what are the chances of two ridiculously gross and irresponsible men crossing paths to create such a nasty situation? It's not every day that you stumble on a father willing to let his barely-old-enough-to-drive teen get married. To an actor. Who is smack dab in the midst of what I can only guess is a mid-life crisis. The couple calls it "ageless love." Yeah OK. I call it a reason to grab a stomach-soothing peppermint to keep me from throwing up a little in my mouth.
I cannot even begin to imagine how or why a grown man would pimp his child off to a guy who is 35 years her senior. That means the groom and the father are peers — in fact, Courtney's dad is 47, four years younger than the dud(e) he allowed his daughter to exchange vows with. I've never had a dad myself, but I thought fathers were supposed to be like, extremely overprotective with shotgun in hand to threaten anybody wanting to lay hands on their daughters. Except this guy, I guess.
We can't even give them a pass because this was some shotgun wedding. Can't even use that as an excuse because Daddy Dearest made a statement in a show of support: "Courtney is one of the most level-headed girls out there and I'm not just saying that because she's my daughter. Doug is the nicest man I've ever met in my life."
Ah, nothing like the sacred romance between a level-headed teen and a super nice pedophile. Oh, and don't hold out hope for the mama having any common sense, because she's on board too.
I am a woman of a certain age, romping through my early 30s if you must know, thank you very much, and I've gotta tell ya — I'm grossed out by the visual of a man my would-be father's age stepping into the newlywed suite to kick off a night of honeymoon lovemaking. Yack! How gross! So as a 16 year old? Please. When I was 16, I thought 25 was old. So I wouldn't have even flinched in the direction of what would be the equivalent of a senior citizen to me at that age.
Maybe this is a publicity stunt, and I guess we can all hope that it's what it boils down to — that her career needs a kickstart, his could use a little flame under its fire, and this marriage is the unfortunate result of a poor PR plan and an effort to do something wild, bold, and headline-making. Perhaps she's not even what she's presenting herself to be and she'll get called out as 23 or 25, very legal though still kinda gross to be married to a 51 year old. Complete with the pout she seems to have perfected, she sure is old-looking to be 16. Here's to hopin' that it's just a really lame ploy for attention.
Just in case it's not, you know what's really scary? This is just the story that hit the news. If this father is psycho crazy enough to dole out permission for his child to get hitched to one of his crotchey cronies, imagine the kind of things he's been letting her do over the years that haven't been getting public attention. Shudder the thought at who's been coming to her sleepovers…
Is this just totally disgusting or is it passable? How much is too much of an age gap for a dating teen?

She isnt of age and one of her parents had to consent.
She is NOT of age, she is sixteen years old. I am quite a bit older than this girl and MY PARENTS would have a fit if I ever said I was going to marry someone his age.
I think the consent was because he has money and is an actor. People that think this is ok are scary. She has no idea what marriage is about, so if she ends up pregnant will that be ok as well?? These parents are screwed up. They sold their daughter, yes, I said sold because now he can care for her and the parents don't have to. I can tell you my parents would have never allowed this to go on, no way will I. 2 consenting adults can make a decision to marry but a teen? Wrong on so many levels.
Lisa I agree 100%!
It's beyond gross. Even if it was Brad Pitt or George Clooney. This SOB is that hideous little man from The Green Mile. Ick. For once I agree with Janelle. The thought of that man waltzing into the bedroom is gag re flexing

Courses at Temple are officially designated writing-intensive when a proposal is submitted to the Writing-Intensive Course Committee (WICC) and their review determines that the course meets the seven guidelines for writing-intensive courses. Courses that already have the official writing-intensive designation must also be "re-proposed" periodically to ensure that they stay in compliance guidelines.
The process for proposing new w-courses and re-proposing existing w-courses starts the same way. The faculty member or department wishing to re/propose a course collects the following materials:
These materials are then submitted to the WICC, care of Lori Salem. (We prefer to receive materials in electronic form, but hardcopies are also acceptable and can be sent to the address below.)
Once the proposal is received, it is reviewed by the WICC. If the course is not approved on the first round, the Committee's response includes detailed feedback explaining why, and indicating how the proposal could be modified to win approval. Typically, the committee requests additional materials or clarifications. Once these are submitted, the proposal is reviewed again. Most proposals are approved on the first or second round.
If the proposal is for an existing writing-intensive course (ie. if it is a "re-proposal"), the process stops here. The course is considered approved, and the approval is good for four years from the time of the decision.
If the proposal is for a new writing-intensive course, additional steps are required. In addition to WICC approval, new courses must be approved by the curriculum committee of college in which they will be taught. (WICC approval and college-level approval can be sought simultaneously.) After the WICC and the college have approved a new course, it must be reviewed by the Office of the Provost. Finally, paperwork must be submitted to have the course added to the active course inventory. Faculty who are planning to propose new writing-intensive courses should consult with their Dean's office about the course review processes involved (and support available) in their college.
See here for important information about the timelines for creating new writing-intensive courses.
If you have any questions about the re/approval process for writing-intensive courses, please contact Lori Salem.

This was a book I worked on for a year with alterations. I wanted to do a girl team book featuring Black Alice, Misfit, a young Bumblebee, and led by Stephanie Brown. They would all be going to the same high school. The plan was to have [Bryan Q. Miller] co-write it with me.
It went through lots of permutations and changes but eventually, they passed on it, which was understandable but a little bit (okay, a lot) heartbreaking. I don't want to say more about it, but that's a big reason why I was hopeful about some of those characters, because it seemed a pretty exciting premise.
But it doesn't mean those characters won't be back at some point, hopefully they will.
— Gail Simone
I would have bought this book in a heartbeat. Seriously. An all-girls team featuring four amazing characters who've been overlooked in the reboot, led by Steph and written by Gail Simone and BQM? It would have been amazing. And I am a little bit heartbroken, too, knowing it's not going to happen.

MILAN--Telecom Italia SpA (TI) shares closed significantly higher Thursday on media reports that the company could evaluate talks with Hong Kong's conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa (0013.HK) for a possible merger of the two group's Italian assets.
Shares in Italy's largest telecoms operator surged as much as 9%, touching a session high at EUR0.59, and were briefly suspended limit up on the wake of the reports, suggesting that merger talks with Hutchison could be on the table at Telecom Italia's next board meeting on April 11.
Both Telecom Italia and Hutchison's Italian unit 3 Italia declined to comment.
Telecom Italia posted a 2012 net loss of EUR1.63 billion because of a goodwill write down.
Telecom Italia shares closed up 7.8% at EUR0.58.

Belcher, 25, murdered Perkins on Dec. 1, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium, where he shot himself in the head. Different guns were used to kill Perkins and himself.
Belcher's mother, Cheryl Shepherd, provided details of events leading up to the murder, according to the report. She said she had moved in with the couple two weeks before their deaths because they were having "relationship problems due to financial issues associated with Perkins' spending habits."
Shepherd also said that the argument that preceded Perkins' killing "was in regard to one or both of them going out as in to a club or partying."
As the Raiders' offensive line takes its stance against the Chiefs, our winged friend cannot be bothered. He must forage for morsels.
His poise is impressive. Watch as Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski connects on a long field goal. The crowd roars and players march off the field, but our pigeon remains entrenched.
Quinn and former NFL center Jeff Faine have developed the new NFL Business Management Program, one of four new "boot camp" training sessions for current and former NFL players that will debut in April and May 2013.
With input from players, the NFL will introduce the following new programs – Franchising Boot Camp; Hospitality and Culinary Management Workshop; Sports Journalism & Communications Boot Camp, and Business Management and Entrepreneurship Program — to assist players in choosing post-NFL careers.
The NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial "Investment for Impact" program will be held April 18-21 at Quinn and Faine's alma mater, Notre Dame .
"That's the thing about Dwayne. A lot of people only see him on game day. He likes to have fun. He might do a touchdown celebration where he points to the back of his jersey and do all that. But that's just for show. He's not one of those guys who comes back to the huddle screaming for the ball or cussing people out. He's respectful to players. He's respectful to coaches. He's not one of those guys that talks back. He just gets his work done. And then on Sunday, you know what? It's OK to have some fun."
Belcher shot Perkins multiple times in their home on Dec. 1 and then drove to team headquarters, where he killed himself in front of his coach and general manager after telling them he "wasn't able to get enough help."

Blue a red-hot talent on diamond
Former MVP was part of three World Series champions
By Craig Muder
November 16, 2010
Watch a video on the Expansion Era Ballot
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – He was the baseball story of 1971, and Vida Blue turned that season into his own at the age of only 22.
And yet Blue's best – as a pitching anchor of the dynastic Oakland A's teams of that decade – was still to come. Now, Blue stands one step short of the ultimate milestone: The Hall of Fame.
Blue, who played for 17 seasons for the A's, Giants and Royals, is one of 12 finalists on this year's Expansion Era ballot that will be considered by the committee on managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The 16-person committee will vote on Dec. 5 at baseball's Winter Meetings in Orlando, and the results of the vote will be announced Dec. 6.
The 12 candidates on the ballot are: Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Pat Gillick, Ron Guidry, Tommy John, Billy Martin, Marvin Miller, Al Oliver, Ted Simmons, Rusty Staub, George Steinbrenner and Blue. Any candidate who receives at least 75 percent of all ballots cast will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2011.
The committee consists of Hall of Fame members Johnny Bench, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, Tony Perez, Frank Robinson, Ryne Sandberg and Ozzie Smith; major league executives Bill Giles (Phillies), David Glass (Royals), Andy MacPhail (Orioles) and Jerry Reinsdorf (White Sox); and veteran media members Bob Elliott (Toronto Sun), Tim Kurkjian (ESPN), Ross Newhan (retired, Los Angeles Times) and Tom Verducci (Sports Illustrated).
Born in Mansfield, La., on July 28, 1948, Vida Rochelle Blue starred in both baseball and football in high school, striking out 21 batters in one game on the diamond. He was taken by the Kansas City Athletics with their second-round pick (No. 27 overall) in the 1967 amateur draft – and by 1969 Blue was in the majors as 19-year-old left-handed flamethrower.
The next season, Blue went 12-3 with a 2.17 earned-run average and 165 strikeouts in 133 innings for Double-A Iowa before being recalled to the A's near the end of the season. It was then that he gave the world a glimpse of what was to come, no-hitting the eventual American League West champion Minnesota Twins on Sept. 21.
Ten months later, Blue stood at 18-3 after his first post All-Star Game start and appeared poised to make a run at a 30-win season. He fell short at 24-8, but posted a 1.82 ERA, a league-best eight shutouts and 301 strikeouts en route to the AL Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards. The A's won 101 games and the AL West title that season, but fell to the Orioles in the ALCS.
"I've never seen a pitcher dominate a season like he did in 1971," said former Oakland A's teammate Sal Bando. "Vida was unhittable."
The next season, Blue missed time due to a contract dispute, going just 6-10 in 25 appearances. But Oakland again won the AL West, and – with Blue working mostly out of the bullpen – the A's defeated Detroit in the ALCS and the Reds in the World Series to capture the franchise's first World Series title in 42 years. In the postseason, Blue had two saves in eight games and posted a 2.57 ERA.
In 1973, Blue was 20-9 with a 3.28 ERA to lead Oakland to another World Series title. And the following year, Blue went 17-15 to lead the A's to a third straight Fall Classic win – becoming the only franchise besides the Yankees to win at least three World Series in a row.
"One of the greatest pitchers ever," said Charles O. Finley, who owned the A's when Blue played.
Blue went 22-11 to lead the A's to their fifth straight AL West title in 1975, but Oakland lost to the Red Sox in the ALCS – marking the end of the A's dynasty. He was 18-13 in 1976 and 14-19 the following season as the A's entered a rebuilding phase.
Prior to the 1978 season, Blue was traded across the Bay to the Giants for seven players and cash. Blue went 18-10 with a 2.79 ERA that year, finishing third in the National League Cy Young Award race. He was named to the NL All-Star team in both 1980 and 1981, becoming the first pitcher to win the All-Star Game in both leagues in the latter season.
Blue pitched for the Royals in 1982 and 1983 before missing the entire 1984 season while serving a suspension for substance abuse issues.
"I prayed a lot and just changed my lifestyle somewhat," Blue said of his year out of baseball.
He returned to win 18 games over two seasons with the Giants in 1985 and 1986, then signed with the A's as a free agent on Jan. 21, 1987 – only to retire less than a month later.
His final numbers: a 209-161 record, a 3.27 ERA and six All-Star Game selections – along with three World Series championships with the A's.

Next time when you see .xxx URL ending don't be astonished as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) on Friday approved .xxx TLD for websites containing adult oriented content. This TLD will be embraced by the websites who have legitimate sexual content and want to show it off. Though this TLD is not going to be mandatory for all adult sites and following this TLD has been kept voluntary for adult sites.
ICANN has given its verdict in favor of ICM registry, ending decade long conflict over the matter. Company CEO Stuart Lawley has planned to charge $ 60 per year for the domain registration and hopes a sale of 50000 domains having .xxx TLD. On this occasion he expressed :
''This was always going to be a very lucrative arrangement.'
This decision has provoked a heated debate among all persons connected with internet in any way. Supporters of Morality argue that it is a big step towards legitimization of sex on the internet while some persons even representatives from adult sites register their worries as it may force to ghettoize the adult internet community. Diane Duke, executive director of the adult entertainment industry's Free Speech Coalition considers the decision entirely inappropriate and disregarding the feelings adult internet community.
We,the CallingAllGeeks, being extremely optimistic can say that perhaps this is a good turn and now it will be easier to block the adult material containing websites by the blocking of .xxx TLD. How good it will be good to see seeing it a monetary feature to have .xxx domain for all porn and adult website?
Specially for MMS scandal websites like debonairblog.com, fsiblog.com, xnxx.com which are some of the popular adult website taking .xxx domain extension and when all firewall blocking access of .xxx domain. This will ensure that our young crowd won't get exposed to adult stuff.
Do let us know your opinion on if all adult websites should switch to .xxx domain extension, so that all campus (School & collages), can block porn websites without any hassle?

Minnesota vs. SMU Basketball Betting Odds & Pick from Jimmy Boyd: April 3rd 2014
Minnesota vs. SMU
Basketball Betting Pick: SMU -3 -110 odds (April 3rd 2014)
You have to be impressed with the way SMU has responded to being left out of the NCAA Tournament. The Mustangs are on a mission to prove the committee wrong and they can do just that with a win over Minnesota in the NIT Championship. I look for head coach Larry Brown and the SMU players to do just that.
While both the Gophers and Mustangs had an easy opening round matchup, SMU has had the more difficult path to the title game with their last three coming against LSU, Cal and Clemson. Minnesota's only real challenge came in the semifinals, where they barely squeaked by Florida State 67-64 in overtime.
The Mustangs are 14-7 ATS versus teams with a winning record this season, while the Gophers are just 1-7 ATS away from home against teams who have outscored the opposition by 8+ points per game. Minnesota's win over the Seminoles was just their sixth victory away from home this season. In fact, the Gophers have lost more games on the road than SMU has lost all season.
The Mustangs rank 30th in Kenpon and 31st in BPI. Minnesota is just 52nd in Kenpom and 47th in the BPI. There's clearly value with SMU laying just 3-points.
Jimmy Boyd is the #5 Ranked Handicapper Overall for 2014 and currently the #2 Ranked Basketball Handicapper for 2013-14! Heading into Thursday on a 48-37 All Sports Run! Jimmy is absolutely crushing the books on the hardwood! He's on a dominant 30-18 (62%) CBB Run and 47-34 (58%) Basketball Hot Streak. There's also money to be made on the bases, where Jimmy is enjoying a Massive 137-119 Run dating back to last season!

Nuclear energy is unsafe
Given the recent Japanese meltdown situation with their nuclear facilities I find it unbelievable that Bill Gates or anyone with any knowledge of industrial accident history and nuclear energy can with a clear conscience support this idea. This is Russian roulette with the most lethal substance, and the gun pointed at us all. Blue screen: Reboot Bill and try again.

Mar 26 2011: "Nuclear energy is unsafe" -- false. No energy source has been as safe in the history of mankind. This is despite foolish design & management by corporate or government entities, as the Fukushima events expose. Those knowing the GE Mark-I reactor and TEPCO's faulty management over the years know that what happened was likely to happen. www.washingtonpost.com/world/japanese-nuclear-plants-evaluators-cast-aside-threat-of-tsunami/2011/03/22/AB7Rf2KB_story.html
There are many more stories about TEPCO, including on previously-resigned corrupt management.
And, despite Japan's worst quake & tsunami, this is what's happened so far...
Making a rash statement as the topic here is irresponsible and indicates not concern for safety, but arrogant ignorance of facts, even willingness to mislead others. That's as inexcusable as TEPCO's actions/inactions over decades. It's as inexcusable as the mismanagement that caused the Chernobyl disaster.
However, nuclear power is exceedingly important to the world's future, as food, energy and fresh water needs become ever more critical. Fortunately, Mother Nature has given us two excellent gifts: nuclear fission and abundant Thorium. President Kennedy requested a report in 1962, in order to plan our energy & resource future. That report explains exactly what we should have been doing since then -- we've done barely half... http://energyfromthorium.com/pdf/CivilianNuclearPower.pdf
So, you'll notice our scientists & government were then concerned with important questions that needed addressing. Existing reactors (LWRs), were indeed encouraged. Yet, despite recommending the next step, breeders, those were given lip service, because of Cold War politics & budgets. The Chinese are now taking our work to fruition...

(NK News) This year's visits by former NBA star Dennis Rodman to North Korea in February and September were "disastrous" for Kim Jong Un, says B.R Myers, associate professor of international studies at Dongseo University.
Speaking to NK News in an extended podcast interview, Myers argues that the decision to allow former NBA star Dennis Rodman to visit North Korea represented a serious blunder on the part of Kim Jong Un.
Myers said that errors such as the Rodman trip "strengthen my conviction that he really is in charge, that he really is pulling the strings".
"If someone else were pulling the strings for him, they would not have let him do something so stupid, and let him do it twice," Myers said.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I check people on the armory before most groups (or most groups if I'm tanking for them) just to get a baseline level of competency and experience. Not necessarily to see that they've got all epics and a specific set of talent points or whatever... but I personally like to see all PVE gear for a PVE instance, a PVE spec and generally the right sort of gear in the right slots, the right gems, etc. Depending on the instance, decent stats with their gear too. If you're going to be a healer for a harder heroic, kara or a 25-man, I personally insist on no green gear and things to be enchanted and/or gemmed. Stuff with no gems is bad, not sucking it up and enchanting your gear is bad, etc. Having caster gear as a healer, or just poor choices in general is not desireable. It's not to be elitist, I'll play with someone in nothing but dungeon blues, but they have to at least show that they make an effort at understanding the game.
However, i think at the same time a lot of lesser intelligent people (like that tank in the post) treat gear inspections like a bad internet meme. They see other people doing it and figure that if they do it but are totally more strict than the guy they're copying or set some arbitrarily high limit (preferably one that will overcompensate for their own lack of gear and/or intelligence) then they're going to be successful.
I really don't think that's the case, and it's fun to see kara pugs demanding +1800 heals, +1200dmg or 1800AP DPS'ers or whatever. You can almost always spot the guy who organizes it, based on their own gear being mostly blue and you know they're doing the run in hopes of getting 9 people to carry them through the whole thing and gear up their new alt. Maybe 1/10 of the pugs like that are really all T5+ geared people just looking to do a quick badge run, but for the most part it's always one slacker getting everyone else to do their work. At least on my server.
So, a good idea but taken a bit too far by people who shouldn't be throwing stones in the first place.
FYI, in no way can "competency" be determined by someone's armory. You could easily have someone decked out in epics under 2 dangerous circumstances:
1. PvP welfare epics (no competency required)
2. Genuine PvE epics obtained via gearing up (not paying attention in the raid/instance and just looting)
A side note, I've definitely noticed a lot of folks that DO lack competency (with or without gear) and was thinking this might be a result of the faster leveling system. i.e. players don't learn their roles in instances since quest EXP was buffed, and they don't actually do instances. Thoughts?
Craig, that was one of my biggest concerns whent hey lowered the leveling requirements a few patches ago -- as well as making many quests that required multiple people suddenly soloable. My fear, and perhaps rightfully so given the waves of neophytes running amok, was that these people wouldn't have the basic mechanics of the game down, which you would normally learn in a group or going into instances with like-leveled individuals. Without that requirement, I've seen people who have quite literally almost never stepped foot into an instance suddenly capable of entering a heroic dungeon and yet not know what aggro is or how to crowd control or that different classes are often assigned other basic roles.
It's not a matter of being elitist. As I've pointed out in the past on this site, I am a frequent PuGer. 99.9% of my groups are found by selling myself in the LFG interface. And I'll join heroic groups with a tank in all greens despite the fact that I'm decked out in gear far surpassing the required level for the instance. Why?
1) I really like the challenge, and
2) I enjoy helping others.
If we don't take the opportunity to teach others the basic mechanics of the game and help them improve their performance, we don't have the right to lament about the lack of "good" tanks and "good" healers and "good" DPSers.
The old World of Warcraft adage is that gear doesn't make a good player. With how easy it is to acquire shiny blues and purples, we can honestly say that gear really isn't a deciding factor for groups, especially since soem greens can be better than blues, as sheepe noted.
I'd rather take a neophyte who is willing to listen and learn than a purple wielding asshat who thinks he's God's gift to the group and is just an epic fail.

Dave Said:
"I personally insist on no green gear and things to be enchanted and/or gemmed"
That is a horrible standard. You miss out on all the people who thoughtfully chose gear, and only get people who play a lot and who just look at colors rather than actual stats. Green gear can be better than PURPLE gear for certain slots and classes. "___ of the ____" gear is often great for any classes that have a bonus tied into a particular stat.
The color of their gear is *how often it drops mixed with the level of difficulty of the place it is obtained from*. Not how good it is.
Their *stats for their role* is what is important: MP5 + heal for a pally healer, +int second, with armor and HP a third.
For instance, my boots are the +40 int greens with Vitality on them. This gives me +mana +spellcrit +MP5 and +heal. There are any number of blue feet I could get that would be available for my class, but *none* of them would help my role better, nor improve my stats in a net benefit way. I need the Sabatons from the QD badge vendor to find a non-MrT Heroic or non-Raid upgrade for my feet. I have passed on blue feet because they are not as good as my greens. I don't use my two purple trinkets and instead use a talesite owl, as that mana regen is better than what the purples do. I don't enchant my back, cause frankly, all suck for a healer who wears plate.
As you seem to desire a simplistic rule for quickly ruling out a lot of people, may I suggest http://be.imba.hu? It analyzes people's gear and stats and gives both a number, and places them on a continuum showing where their upper and lower limits are.
There are several of the heroics with any reasonably competent tank which I can farm now in less than an hour. However your rule would exclude me. Sounds like your rule is broken cause it misses theorycrafters who have to get to Zul'Aman or Late Kara to really progress any farther gear wise.
That is why I refuse to boost people through instances (exception people I know, but I prefer to use an alt of the proper level instead and offer to try and find a group). I don't want to end up being in a group where some duckfart having been pulled through the levels ends up and not knowing how to play his class.
Unfortunately, the faster levelling system thwarts that somehow. I would prefer to see that system only work if you already have a max-level character on your account, or you're back to the slower system.
I have difficulty I suppose filling the comment boxes with my full replies lately so I've started a crappy blog.
that perhaps more accurately fits my attitude towards things a bit better.
I absolutely disagree with anyone who thinks you can't tell something about someone from their armory profile. If you really think that, then you're probably someone who has something wrong already.
As for green gear being a better in-slot item than blue/purple gear, I don't think that's a very intelligent statement most of the time. There are very very few exceptions, and almost no exceptions that aren't easily ruled out by easy to get heroic or badge gear. Same goes for enchants. If you're saying these things, you're the exact person I'd prefer not to group with.
Ultimately that's what this game is about. I'd prefer to play with people who are of a similar mindset to me. I'm sure there's groups out there for everyone, and lots of people would rather find people who choose to at least make an effort. If you're using green plate boots because you for whatever reason think an extra 20 int helps you more than any of the Mail +healing boots, Leather +healing boots or even cloth +healing boots, then that's fine... but I wholeheartedly disagree. Especially for a healer who shouldn't be getting hit in the first place.
