Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of
two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m.
Sunday Jan. 7 2010, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital,
but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to
Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen
andBrunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's
Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was
not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm
right in the middle of an investigation."
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for
the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun
when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do as i say and not as i do"
Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what
apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask?
It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he
took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life
threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should
not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal
safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our
lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.On December 30, 2009, Soles (at the time, the longest-serving legislator
in the state) announced he would not seek re-election in 2010. This
came after an August, 2009 incident in which he shot a young man and
former legal client in the leg who was allegedly trying to kick in
Soles' front door. In another incident, Soles pepper sprayed
a young man. Soles' lawyer, Joseph Cheshire, said the shooting was
self-defense. Cheshire and Soles have said that Soles has been generous
to former clients in hoping to ease them back to a law-abiding life.
Soles has denied having sexual relations with any of the young men Soles was indicted on charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury on 7 January 2010. Soles pleaded guilty in 2010 to assault with a deadly weapon and was fined $1,000.

I am trying to be bright
To laugh and smile
Like everything's alright
I can no more fight
I am too jaded
Too strained
My nerves too stretched
To feel a damn thing
Think I've gone numb
More from too much heat
Than from ice cold
Something died inside
Somewhere where my heart beats
Something has gone off
Like a candle light
Gone poof!
Now I feel a little ill
A little too depressed
And too stressed
Maybe I'll sleep a little
Or lay in bed
And daydream
Dream beautiful dreams
Of places and people
Who smile and cry with me
When it seems
I am all alone
In life's black sea
Maybe I'll just close my eyes
And my mind
And close out every little thought
Happy or not
And just float
Like a lost astronaut
Floating eternally
Through time and the blackness
Of space.
Let my stress fade
To nothingness.

By Ann Wyatt Little - bio | email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Lubbock Police Department issued a warrant for the man they say drove into a Southwest Lubbock home Sunday morning, stopping just short of an infant's crib. Dustin Barnhill, 25, was charged with failure to stop and leave information. Police say Barnhill was behind the wheel when he and his passenger Emilibeth May plowed through a fence in the 2800 block of 88th Street, and into the bedroom of 8-month-old Jackson Thomas.
The Thomas family says they are just thankful they now have an answer. "We're relieved it's been a hard few days," says Beena Thomas.
Thursday, they began to pick up the pieces of what police say Barnhill did to their home. Police located Barnhill's 1999 Tan Chevy Tahoe Wednesday and they say it's that vehicle that caused nearly $55,000 worth of damage to the house.
"We were actively searching for him and his attorney called and has made arrangements," says Lt. Neal Barron with the Lubbock Police Department. Barnhill is charged with failure to stop and leave information, a Class B misdemeanor. Lt. Barron says that if anyone had been injured Barnhill would face felony charges.
"If that's all that happens it happens. He's caught and that's the main thing. If more had happened, we would've pushed for everything," says Beena Thomas.
Lt. Barron says if alcohol played a role, it would be difficult to challenge. "It will be difficult because of all the time that's lapsed. We will rely on information from witnesses and if anyone saw him driving the vehicle," says Barron.
Thomas says Sunday's accident should serve as a constant reminder, to make the most of each day. "I can't imagine if anything else had happened, what we would be doing right now. We just try to take it one day at a time," says Thomas.
Barnhill faces up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.

And to crush your hopeless dream of being her man (or lady I don't judge) for the night:
Yes she does, in fact, have a boyfriend.
Sorry, your chances of getting her went from 0.00000001% to -0.00000001%.
With Love,
Nigri-Nation P:
Oh! M! G! Guys I am not a true Nigri fan because I must think that her boobs are fake!! My life is crashing down around me!!! I should pass this blog off to this anon so he can preach the plastic boobs!
Must she update you on every single things that she does such as a boob job? Should she have called you ahead of time and give you the 411 of what size her boobs will be?
Now if you had actually read the response, I didn't say right out that she didn't get a boob job. I don't know if she did. I have not stayed up in the wee hours of the night staring at my ceilings and try to sooth my heartbreak that she didn't right out say that her boobs are not 100% natural.
Mocking and poking fun aside, I honestly don't assume they're real or assume they're fake. To me. They. Are. Just. Boobs. And I love them. That is all I have to say on the subject.
Wooooo there pumpkin. I'm about to rain on your "she has no boyfriend" parade. All pics from her, the bf, and the friends.
I actually never read that anywhere so I really have no idea. I know people are curious about sizes and all but for whatever reason I have never been curious. I mean what would I do with that sort of information anyways? lol Thanks for answering the young man's question.
What's your bra size?
My good sir, because you asked I had no choice but to slave away on the internet. I have looked in every corner of the interwebs from popular sites to some that are unknown. To chat logs to instagram. I have gathered all the pictures I was able to find with less to no make up on. I hope I didn't let you down grandshadowdude.
As requested, now reblogable.
Sorry for the late reply and thank you!! I learn to never assume they are fake until proven otherwise! Some women do get upset when you do and I'm just like:
Hmm well let us see.
1.) Fuck Yeah Jessica Nigri - I believe they were actually the first Nigri blog on tumblr. Always respect the elders. Always.
2.) Canada Nigri - A Canadian Lady Admin a.k.a. A unicorn. Need I say more? Also the new gifs you see me use come from Canada Nigri.
3.) Best Nigri Edits - This one is a pretty new blog but they do some really nice edits if you're into those. :)
Shoutout to all dem Nigri bloggers.
4.) And of course Jessica Nigri Herself though she's not much of a tumbler. So once in a blue moon when all the planets align and Pluto is considered a planet again, you'll see a post on her blog. lol
She makes all her own costumes despite what people say. When she first started out cosplay, I believe her Tsunade outfit was bought. She would just do closet cosplays or just alter them just enough to work for the character she was portraying.
Later on though when she was getting more popular and she grew more interested in cosplay, she started to really learn how to make cosplays from scratch.
She gathers a lot of help from other cosplayers such as Monika Lee when it comes to sewing, TNXB Creations and Anna Von Winter when it comes to tooling leather, and various other cosplayers.
Not all her props are made by her but she specifically gives credit to the individual and links her fans to the one that makes her props. She has recently commissioned a few prop makers to make her Queensblade mace and shield as well as her shield and swords for her Sophitia cosplay.
The Real Instagram account of Jessica Nigri
There are a few fake accounts but this one is in fact run by Jessica and Jessica alone.
Of course! If anyone ever wants to send gifts, letters, etc. Jessica has a P.O Box just for this purpose!
Jessica Nigri

I can't say if I fully understand your question. Are you asking if, I the one that runs the blog, can personally ask Jessica to model Lugia? That answer would be no. I don't have any special contacts where I can say 'yo mah jnig, they be wantin' lugia photos. hook a brothah up.' Sorry, that won't happen in a million years.
Or are you asking for a real lugia cosplay? Again I can't contact her but perhaps you can message her on facebook or add a sidenote on paypal when grabbing your Jessica Nigri stickers and posters (SPONSOR! lol) you can mention a real Lugia Cosplay but it all ends with what she wants to do.
You know how weird it would be to have a guy with a little heart tattoo on his man breast? Sexy.
Here to give you the latest news on the ever so gorgeous Jessica Nigri!

The Big Roundtable's Social Media Experiment
Longform startup The Big Roundtable (BRT) recently commissioned three college students to put its assumptions about social sharing to the test.
The challenge? Taking one story, one month and whatever techniques they could think of (legal, of course), the three undergraduates were tasked with the challenge of racking up the most unique page views.
Said BRT Founder Michael Shapiro on the pub's blog, "The contest was inspired by this simple, painful realization about the patterns in our traffic: there are none."
Having struggled with pegging what makes people click — and how to get them to a place where they're able to find stories — BRT noted high traffic numbers when its pieces were linked in other publications' stories, but acknowledged that stories they thought would take the Internet by storm didn't turn the results they anticipated. They wanted some answers.
BRT, led by Shapiro, editor Mike Hoyt and publisher Anna Hiatt, was formed in mid-2013, and is based on the idea that writers should be directly connected to, and supported by, their readers. Backed initially by a successful Kickstarter campaign, BRT has since been publishing quality longform (5,000+ words) pieces, some with media partners like Buzzfeed and Longreads, enabling authors to be paid via reader donation. Additionally, a "reader's circle" receives 1,000 word samples of potential BRT content, so it's not just the editorial team making calls on what gets read.

id int(10) auto_increment primary key
team_id int(10)
year varchar(4)
team ???
mascot ???
sport int(11)
state int(11)
conference ???
classification ???
I have these questions:
#1 - Should team be an integer linking it to a team table or just put the team name within it.
#2 - The same question as number one, but pertains to mascot table.
#3 - Conference would most likely be something similiar "East", "Central", etc. Would it just be best to put that in it, or make a table and put the descriptions in, linking them with a foreign key
#4 - Same as the above, but would hold information akin to "AAAAA" or "AA", etc..
Which would be faster and more friendly when trying to extract data/compare things?
The thing is that each team would have to have conference and classification put together too, like: AAAA East, AA Southwest Things of that nature
id, team_id, year, school, mascot, sport, state, conference, classification

I think it is best to experiment with cheap sails. The shortcoming when changing cloth is that elasticity changes, so the cut would be different. But they will give you a good idea of drive and heeling force. Recutting old sails can be a good source, also used windsurfer sails.
I like low aspect traditional rigs like lug rigs. They give good drive for less heel, and work well with shorter spars. This makes them easier to rig, and easier to store. There are some good examples of these on the yahoo forum, and also on the woodenboat forum.
As far as reefing, you might consider different rigs for heavy or light air. I think if I got caught in a canoe or kayak with too much sail, I'd take it all in and paddle. You can use a downhaul on a marconi rig, or a lug rig's yard will brnig it down. I agree that sock type sails, and even sprit rigs, can be dangerous because they won't come down on deck. I think you'll be surprised how easily driven a kayak is by small amounts of sail. Remember you don't develope much force with a paddle, way less than 1 hp I'm sure.

A disturbing crime trend was on the rise in Florida. The state attorney's office released crime statistics that show Orange County has the most reported hate crimes in the state.
There were about 170 possible hate crimes investigated in Florida and 32 of those cases were in Orange County. This was a 22 percent increase from the year before.

I guess the biggest news centered around Lowell this summer has been the Market Basket fiasco. A couple of weeks into the boycott, I thought I'd create a visual to contrast our spending at different markets in the past year. Naturally, I used Mathematica. Here is a version of the plot I posted on a Facebook group site related to Lowell:
The 2014 UTeach conference at the University of Texas Ausin brought together faculty, students and staff from 40 universities with UTeach programs and five universities aspiring to build a UTeach program. The UMass Lowell UTeach team included two UML math majors, Erinn McLaughlin and John Romano.
Erinn McLaughlin, together with Michelle Scribner-MacLean (Graduate College of Education) and William Morton (Lowell National Historical Park), described how she and her classmates teamed with the National Park to create science and math projects for high school students. The work was part of the required UTeach course, Project Based Instruction.
At a poster session that included dozens of student submissions, John Romano won the best student poster for a research project for the work he did as an intern with M2D2 and Lowell High School. Erinn also displayed a poster on the mathematics of water wheels.
- The CUPM Curriculum Guide is produced by the MAA Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics to guide mathematics departments in designing curricula for their undergraduate students. The 2004 version was the last to come out. The new version will be out in 2015. We were told that a draft will appear at maa.org/cupm in the near future.
- In 2012, the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences issued the latest recommendations for teacher preparation in mathematics: The Mathematical Education of Teachers II (MET2). A few highlights of the new recommendations:
- Elementary teachers should take four mathematics courses on elementary school mathematics. This doesn't mean that the mathematics they are taught are elementary. The objective is to give teachers a deeper understanding of the mathematics that is taught in elementary grades. For example, while an elementary school teacher may teach division, coursework might include continued fractions or a study of the periodic nature of decimal fractions.
- Recommendations for middle school teachers include at least 24 credits of mathematics, including at least 15 credits designed specifically for future middle grades teachers that address essential ideas in the middle school curriculum.
- It is still recommended that prospective High school teachers complete coursework equivalent to that of a mathematics major. One change is that at least nine credits involve advanced study of secondary mathematics.
- The last time I was chair we were housed in Olsen, now were in Olney. With new buildings starting to pop up on campus, several departments, including us, could be moving again in the coming years.
- Since my first retirement as chair, weve seen the retirements of Professors Yin, Makovoz, Weinberg, Spiegel, Mueller, Winslow, Berkovits, Ruskai, and Samarov. We currently have seven tenured faculty and seven Instructors who have joined us since then.
- When I left the chairs position in the 20th century, we offered a two semester version of Calculus I, Calculus IA and Calculus IB. After trying Preparation for Calculus for a few years, we now we have a new two semester version of Calculus I. Same name, but different catalog numbers. Everything is cyclic.
- Scholarships: Toward the end of my first run as chair, Russ and Mary Bedells generosity had just brought us our first endowed scholarship. As you can see below, weve been fortunate to have two more endowed scholarships started since then and hope to be able to announce more in the future.
- Finally, Tangents didnt exist in 1999 - the first issue was in 2002. So now I will move to the present.
- Outstanding Graduate Student: Nour Almansour
- Shapiro Scholarship: Chris Leger
- Bedell Scholarship: Tyler Gilzinger
- Zamanakos Scholarships: David Campbell, Mary Mersereau and Kevin Southwick

Wildness wasn't always seen as beautiful. Prior to the Romantic era, the spectacle of untamed nature was a source of fear, not pleasure. Likewise, randomness wasn't always seen as mathematical. If math is the ultimate form of certain knowledge, what could be more un-mathematical than the things we don't know, like the face that will be shown by a die that we haven't rolled yet? If math is about perfection of form, what could be more un-mathematical than the shaggy, unkempt curves we see in turbulent water or in swirling smoke?
We live in a Romantic era of mathematics, when the wildness of random processes isn't just a respectable branch of mathematics, but part of the main trunk, close to the heart of the subject, where all the different sub-disciplines of mathematics converge and converse.
There are many reasons for this change: one of them is the electronic computer, which is responsible for all the images you'll see tonight. Like Galileo's telescope, the computer lets us explore worlds that were hitherto invisible. But unlike the moons of Jupiter, which were there before Galileo thought to look at them, the worlds of modern mathematics are to a great extent the creation of human minds, and their variety is limited only by what our minds are capable of imagining. In choosing which imaginary worlds to explore, we're guided by a desire to understand our own world, of course; and like physicists, we often create simplified worlds that capture, and teach us about, some aspect of the world we live in. But pure mathematicians are artists as much as they are scientists, so we often choose worlds based on esthetic criteria. Mathematicians vary in their ideas of mathematical beauty, but we tend to value mathematical systems that combine the classical and the baroque esthetics in a particular way: a classical simplicity in the underlying rules, and a baroque richness of the phenomena that the rules give rise to. We value surprise, and we find symmetry beautiful. So when symmetry catches us by surprise, we are especially gratified, as is the case for some of the worlds I'll show you tonight.
Usually the "worlds" of mathematics are purely conceptual worlds: through familiarity, they become vivid to a mathematician who has studied them, and can come to seem solid, even habitable. But these intuitions are very personal and usually hard to convey. This semester, MSRI has focussed on an area of mathematics that is unusually visual in nature: the study of random spatial processes. The worlds researchers like me study actually look like something, and what they look like, sometimes, are worlds. I'm here to share with you some images that illustrate what we've been up to. I call these images postcards for several reasons.
First, I don't make claims for them as art. There is such a thing as mathematical art, and it's a booming enterprise, but most of the images you'll see are more like nature photography: attempts to render something natural as accurately as possible. The fact that the natural objects being rendered are imaginary doesn't change the underlying representational intention.
Second, a postcard is something you receive from someone far away, and it's a given that getting a postcard from a place is not the same as visiting it. We mathematicians spend years learning the tools of mathematics and our reward is the opportunity to spend more years toiling in the application of those tools to problems we have come to care about; so if effort is an index of ascent, then we speak to you from underpopulated mountaintops. I am anxious to disclaim any implication that our elevation is a mark of superiority; it's just a fact about where we've chosen to go. And there is something unbridgeable, or very hard to bridge, about the distance between the mindstate of an intelligent person with no specialized knowledge and another person, possibly not as intelligent, who has spent years exploring some particular domain and acquainting himself or herself with its quirks. Indeed, for many of us researchers, the visual appeal of pictures like this is not the beauty that drives us; instead, we are driven to find beautiful trajectories of thought that let us prove that what these pictures tell us is really true.
So, I am not going to be able to tell you everything you may want to know about the images; partly because of the lack of time, and partly because of the intricacy of the backstories of some of the pictures, and partly because of limitations in my own knowledge or my limitations as an explainer. But if I succeed in making you want to know more than I can tell you, I'll judge the evening a success.
It's all well and good to invent new worlds, but without powerful ideas that tie our invented worlds together, mathematics would be in danger of splintering into a hundred hobbies, mutually well-disposed but not having a lot to say to each other. Fortunately there are unifying ideas. One that I've already talked about is the way chance at the microscale gives rise to determinism, or fate, at the macroscale. A central example of this is the Wiener process, which is what mathematicians call Norbert Wiener's idealization of Brownian motion. In the real world, the dance of pollen grains on a microscope slide has much the same sort of shagginess across many scales of magnitude, from the cellular down to the molecular. What if this shagginess looked the same at even smaller scales? In the real world this is false --- quantum weirdness is different from Brownian shagginess --- but as mathematicians we are free to imagine a world in which there is no preferred length-scale, atomic or otherwise, and Brownian motions have Brownian shagginess no matter how closely we zoom in. Turning this into mathematics was Norbert Wiener's contribution. Just as the bell-shaped or Gaussian curve gives a kind of universal law for many sorts of random quantities, the Wiener process is a universal law for many sorts of processes that evolve in time, and even when a process doesn't look like a Wiener path, it's often a modified Wiener path in disguise. For instance, the erratically changing prices seen in the stock market are well-modeled using a one-dimensional Wiener process, like a pollen-grain moving to and fro in a one-dimensional world.
Here's a final thought for you: These images aren't just postcards from other mathematical worlds. I like to think that they're also postcards from our world's future, twenty or fifty years from now, when a new generation of mathematicians, building on our work, will be able to prove things that our generation can only conjecture. Thank you for coming, and enjoy the rest of your evening here at MSRI!
The department now has an iBook available for download and viewing on an iPad. Resources for Mathematics Students contains information about the department, its faculty programs and courses. In addition, it has a chapter on technology in mathematics.

|Bruce Lee
Born: 27 November 1940
Died: 20 July 1973
Founder of Jeet Kune Do
Movie star, martial arts innovator, philosopher, cultural icon—Bruce Lee was all of these and more. A singularly complex man, Lee holds our attention in his vicelike grip just as strongly today as he did back in 1973, the year most Americans were formally introduced to him as the star of Enter the Dragon and also the year he tragically died at the age of 32.
In an era where MMA has supplanted boxing as the most popular combat sport, it's hard to remember a time when the martial arts were strictly segregated. Yet Bruce Lee's desire to break with tradition has influenced a generation and opened the door for the kind of fighting we see on our TV and movie screens today, as well as in the martial arts schools in our neighborhoods.
His eclectic approach to his art set him apart from others. He understood that creativity could be attained only through freedom of the mind and only when applied without restrictions. To say Bruce Lee simply "created" a new form or "style" of fighting with his vaunted Jeet Kune Do is to barely scratch the surface of his unique combination of creativeness and concept.
See a photo gallery of Bruce Lee in action >>
To fully appreciate Lee's impact, we must consider it in the context of his time. In the early 1960s martial arts were beginning to flourish in the Western world and they were totally institutionalized within the boundaries of schools that began to appear. Bruce Lee, having studied various gung fu systems upon arriving in the States in 1959, soon realized there was more to pugilism than the "Chinese" style of fighting. His counterparts in Hong Kong, like himself, had seen only similar systems of martial arts, as well as the training methods used to strengthen and condition their bodies, which had been passed down through generations. Lee, on the other hand, had been thrust into a world in which Western boxing and wrestling reigned supreme. It proved to be an awakening for the 18-year-old.
In those days, a martial artist stuck to a rigid set of exercises—ones that had been passed down over the years. Lee, however, soon began to realize that the traditional martial arts he'd grown up learning were not the only ones available to him. It was then that he decided that any protocol he found that could enhance his body and overall skill set should be integrated into his training.
Having broken away from the confines of tradition, Lee not only adopted Western styles of training, he also took nutritional and training cues from the bodybuilding community, even becoming a subscriber to Muscle & Fitness' forebear, Muscle Builder, and purchasing a Weider barbell kit. By examining the various nutritional supplements used by bodybuilders and studying their routines, Lee was able to adapt and shape his body to complement his own personal martial art.

Arabian Nights
A surprise hit at last year's Venice Film Festival, Ridha Behi's thoughtful film tells the story of Raouf, a Tunisian screenwriter looking back on his childhood. The young Raouf's uncle was a travelling film salesman, Journeying from village in a bright red truck, with everything from latest Hollywood blockbuster to local film. After sundown, the film would be projected against the town's largest wall. Despite the threat of punishment from his devout father, Raouf's love of film took root. Now a screenwriter in his 40s, Raouf is asked by a TV station to compose his own Cinema Paradiso, recounting his youthful passion for movies. His journey back home evokes conflicted feelings and memories both sweet and sour.

The first BCS Standings will be released two weeks from this Sunday. And right now it's pretty clear that if they keep winning, Alabama and Ohio State are going to be 1-2.
But after that I'm not so sure. Will Boise State, the Cinderella, be No. 3?
And for all of you folks who want a playoff (and for the record, I want a four-team playoff), just consider that a whole lot can happen between now and Oct. 17. Before the first BCS Standings are released:
No. 1 Alabama, which just escaped with a close win at Arkansas, will play No. 7 Florida (4-0) at home and No. 22 South Carolina (3-1) on the road.
No. 2 Ohio State will play No. 9 Wisconsin (4-0) on the road and at night.
No. 3 Boise State will play New Mexico State (0-3), Toledo (3-1), and San Jose State (1-3). The computers won't like that.
No. 4 Oregon will play No. 13 Stanford (4-0) on Saturday in a monster game.
No. 5 TCU willl play Colorado State (1-3), Wyoming (1-3), and BYU (1-3). Speaking of BYU, the Cougars sure picked an interesting time in their football history to go independent.
No. 6 Nebraksa will play at Kansas State (4-0) and at home against No. 16 Texas (3-1).
No. 7 Florida will play at No. 1 Alabama (4-0) and at home against No. 10 LSU (4-0).
No. 8 Oklahoma will play No. 16 Texas in Dallas.
No. 9 Wisconsin will play at No. 21 Michigan State (4-0) and at home against No. 2 Ohio State (4-0).
No. 10 LSU will play Tennessee at home and at No. 7 Florida (4-0).
Given what you see on that schedule, how many upsets will there be and what will be the Top 5 in the first BCS Standings?
Here are mine:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon
4. Boise State
5. Nebraska
Your thoughts, please.

Alabama played like a champion in the 4th quarter against the hogs but played like CRAP the
first 3 quarters. If Alabama plays Ohio St or Oregon it would be a miracle right now!! Forget
Boise St. and TCU they did not play anybody that matters like top 10. RTR

BAMA vs ???????
September 28th, 2010
7:44 am
The Reporter: Mr McGarity, what is this pop defense the defensive players talk about ?
One player said it in reference to " Grand Pop-Vince Dooley, since the plays haven't changed since he retired.
Another player said it was because of the ferocious tackles they make, which is it ?
Greg: Actually, it is neither. Here is what it is based on.
It's the Soda Pop defense, in this case The Pepper.
We make a tackle on every second, fourth, and tenth play of their drives.
I have two more to explain, but first I have to check the drug test results, from Monday.
Go Dawgs
September 28th, 2010
7:47 am
Bama all the way Gmac said they are going to have to kill us to beat us lol hes a fiery little guy Bama 31-20
September 28th, 2010
7:47 am
I agree Tony.
There's alot of football left to play and I have a feeling there will be an upset among the top 5 this weekend or next weekend.
How about the SEC having 4 of the top 11 in the Coaches Poll with 4 SEC West teams in the top 15? That's remarkable for one conference divsion but we know it won't last once they start knocking each other off.
September 28th, 2010
7:50 am
I thing our defence can keep it respectable into the 4th but Bama is the most physical college team I have seen in my 57 years. Bama 27 UF 20.
September 28th, 2010
7:52 am
sorry meant to say defense; fingers dont work to well early.
September 28th, 2010
7:53 am
Bama is clearly the best in the land. Ohio State has the easiest path (as always).
September 28th, 2010
7:53 am
Your top 5 looks about right unless my Gators can steal a win this weekend from Bama. Not too optimistic about it, but you never know. Then comes LSU down to the Swamp. UF could move up to #1 with wins over both or fall into obscurity with losses to both. Time to step it up, Gators!
September 28th, 2010
7:54 am
September 28th, 2010
8:00 am
Even in quotes the term playoff isn't appropriate. I don't know of any playoffs where winning all your games still allows you to lose in the end
September 28th, 2010
8:03 am
I still think that the Dawgs are in this thing. They can still win the East and get to Atlanta for a shot at Bama. Now that our ace receiver is back we will see some fireworks. Stranger things have happened. I have no doubts that we can run the table. Florida is definitely going down this year to the Dawgs.
September 28th, 2010
8:04 am
I didn't notice Georgia in your Top 5. Was that an oversight?
September 28th, 2010
8:05 am
i know you nat'l press guys establish your narratives for the season in week 1 and have stopped following the gators and think they still can't snap the ball but they have improved every week and it's becoming quite a story. i think we're watching the next generation of great gators grow up in real time and though they may not make it through the season unscathed, the sec is in for a rude awakening if they think the gators' time has passed.
baby gators get a new row of teeth this week. 34-24, g-men!
September 28th, 2010
8:07 am
Thanks for moving on to something positive today. I mean that.
In Saturday night's game, the home field should be huge. Florida has one of the youngest teams in FBS and will be affected just as BAMA's defense was affected in Arkansas. Yes, Florida played at UT but that's different because UT is horrible this year. BAMA builds an early lead. Florida calms down in the second half but falls short in its comeback. BAMA 27 UF 21
BAMA loses a game (probably USCe) but wins out and plays Oregon in BCSCG.
September 28th, 2010
8:07 am
big dawg that is mighty big talk about your team. Lets compare, we sucked in the first game and have gotten better each week. Your team looked pretty good the first game and has gotten progressively worse until they finally QUIT last week. I understand hope, but you are delusional.
September 28th, 2010

Tony if you read these comments, I have a question. Were there any other top programs in the country who shelved 2-a-days during training camp as Mark Richt did?

Georgia cancels their series with Oregon originally set for 2015 and 2016. Why am I not surprised.
September 28th, 2010

For real punishment, AJ Green should have to play for Tech and have Joshua throw to him.
September 28th, 2010

Write this down, Ladies. South Carolina will upset Alabama in Columbia. Write it in ink.
September 28th, 2010

bob, how about Nebraska against South Dakota State again.
September 28th, 2010
8:17 am
Does anyone have any Ga and Tech tickets for sale. This game has become so inconsequential that I thought I might pick up 4 for 10$ apiece. Please answer and we will arrange a pickup point.Better take me up on this-You don't have to eat the tickets.
September 28th, 2010
8:17 am
Tony how is Oregon going to be ranked in the top 5 after Stanford wins Sat???????????????????
September 28th, 2010
8:18 am
big dawg i am sure you probably get 4 for 10 it is tech we are talking about
September 28th, 2010
8:18 am
Shut up with this playoff crap. Playoffs are when a season is over. Not 1/3 the way into it. In order to reach the playoffs, you have to WIN GAMES. You stupid tradtionialst make up these lame words to keep things the way YOU like them. College football is a joke without a playoff and this year will implode with about 6 teams being worthy for a chance by seasons end. But you'll still be spouting off your playoff nonsense. You are a joke to college football, a uga homer, and a joke to your job.
September 28th, 2010
8:20 am
David, They cancelled it because the AD wants to have 7 home game's and play a schedule more like Florduh's with only one major out of conference game a year GT
September 28th, 2010
8:21 am
Bama's win over an inspired Hog herd was impressive, and solidified their place at #1. The Gators look like the next victim for the repeat National Champs…..but there's still a lot of football left to play.
Mallet found out that the insidious thing about SEC football is that you can be rolling along, feeling in control, and BAM…..all of a sudden, you lost. Arkansas has a good team and will win a lot of games this year.
Now you know why Steve Superior has a love / hate relationship with Stephen Garcia……you're cruising along winning a crucial game, and in 15 minutes and 4 turnovers later, you've lost a game you had controlled. Yikes !
Auburn looks like a team no one would want to play in Auburn……let's see what they do away from home. Cam Newton looks pretty good……I'll bet Urban wishes that laptop thing had never happened.
The Longhorns will have a difficult time with Oklahoma this weekend. After their performance against UCLA, they'll be lucky if they get out of Dallas alive, after having been run over by the Sooner Schooner. There will be plenty of brisket at the BBQ…..
Oh, and don't go to sleep on the Huskers. As a parting gift for our soon-to-be former conference members, here's a butt whipping to remember us by……
And what about Georgia ? What has happened to Dawgs ? An over-rated offensive line, smallish running backs running between the tackles, and a bunch of square pegs in round holes on defense….all lead by an unemotional, even keel coach. Football is an emotional game that must be played with emotion, where people yell and cuss so that people around them know when they're upset. Aaron Murray is the only thing keeping this team from being completely unwatchable.
Oregon and Stanford will be a good test for both teams. The winner has the inside track to the PAC-10 championship.
The talent continues to be spread out around the country……
Yep, it's gonna be a very interesting year……
September 28th, 2010
8:21 am
The only reason i am interested in the Ga-GT tickets is that I want to see Sanford Stadium 50% filled and see Joshua pass for 300 yards in his last game as a College player.

hey inside information, is this the same USC team ya'll said was going to kick auburn? I guess if you keep predicting a win, sooner or later you will be right. I wouldn't bet my house on that prediction if I was you!
September 28th, 2010
8:27 am
big dawg, you would be better off paying down that trailer than wasting your money on weed. Granted, that seems like some quality stuff you have. GA win the east for a shot at Bama? Wow. Check the dictionary under delusional.
September 28th, 2010
8:30 am
Sometimes a team struggles. Bama did in a big way against Arkansas: Two INTs to kill scoring drives. Numerous penalties. Blown assignments, misreads, and missed tackles on defense; also missing was a consistent pass rush. One thing the media has missed in their reporting: Bama didn't substitute LBs, or DBs in the last 20 minutes of that game.
Any of these things can tip the scales against a team like Florida.
Florida is starting to gel in all phases of the game. Bama started to gel in the 4th quarter.
Should be an interesting day in Tuscaloosa.

What about the Dawgs and Jackets?
September 28th, 2010
8:40 am
It is time for Coach Spurrier to resign. He still thinks that he's coaching at Florida and has three QB's on the bench who could start in the SEC. Had he left Garcia in the game, South Carolina MIGHT still be undefeated. When he got frustrated, he quit on his team. Now his team will feel free to quit on him when the going gets tough.
September 28th, 2010
8:43 am
The article on Coach Richt is pretty telling. Bama's 2007 team had many of these same issues. I watched the Bama-FSU game that year sitting behind the Alabama bench. It was a sloppy game for both teams. There was no leadership on that Alabama team. Players sat in little cliches, laughing and horsing around while FSU handed them their heads.
That was Saban's first season. Things have changed. They need to change at UGA for them to ever get out of this quagmire.
September 28th, 2010
8:44 am
Tommy P – Ohio State will play six teams currently in the AP top 25, same as Alabama. How is that an "easier path?"
September 28th, 2010
8:48 am
I am a Gator fan and think Bama beats us pretty easily Saturday. Florida will have to play clean football – no turnovers and few penalties to keep it close. I just think Bama will wear us out and win by at least 17.
September 28th, 2010
8:50 am
dawgs stink at 8:31 AM
I read the article on the link you posted. It said nothing I have not known for 20 years. Of course UGA will never win a national championship, under Richt or any other coach.
Look at the record. In the past 30 years UGA has won one NC and five conference titles. That is it! Heck GT, one of the worst programs in the NCAA has won one NC.
UGA is an average run of the mill program, always has been and always will be.
But they put on a great show, Sanford is a great atmosphere and they will continue to fill the stands and make a profit.
But please, let's put this "our program is of national championship caliber" nonsense to rest.
September 28th, 2010
8:53 am
If Oregon or Stanford runs the table, they will play undefeated Ohio State for the National Title.
September 28th, 2010
8:54 am
I really do hope that there are 5 undefeated teams at the end of the season.
September 28th, 2010
8:55 am
I haven't been able to watch Florida very much this year. I did catch some of the Miami (Ohio), UT, and UK games.
So far, Bama and Florida look very similar; neither look like a dominant team.
I think the team that plays best early will most likely prevail on Saturday.
BTW – where has Burton been all season?
September 28th, 2010
8:55 am
"Auburn looks like a team no one would want to play in Auburn……let's see what they do away from home. Cam Newton looks pretty good……I'll bet Urban wishes that laptop thing had never happened."
Yeah, Kentucky and Louisiana Monroe are really tough on the road.(sarcasm)
September 28th, 2010
8:56 am
"So far, Bama and Florida look very similar; neither look like a dominant team."
Uh…..Bama has played and beaten two ranked teams. Florida has played 0 ranked teams.

PLAYERS: Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Oregon Ducks
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Oregon Ducks
I guess it worked out with the Philadelphia Eagles after all. Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly is going to the NFL, and not staying in college football. So you'll get to see the quack attack in action at the college level no more. Kelly re-emerged as a candidate recently and an agreement was just reached Wednesday There is a concern of NCAA sanctions coming in Eugene, OR. But it's also expected to be nothing major. Or at least not anything Kelly would pull a Pete Carroll for. Kelly went 46-7 during his four years as head coach at Oregon. The Ducks have been to four straight BCS bowl games — including a bid for the national championship against Auburn two seasons ago which came up just three points short– and have won three Pac-12 championships. He originally came to the Ducks in 2007 as offensive coordinator under then coach Mike Bellotti. Before that, he was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, where he started devising the quick strike offense that makes the Ducks famous. Pa...

By almost every measure, Los Angeles police are succeeding: Crime is down, public confidence up, and police who were once reviled in many neighborhoods get far more respect. So it's particularly strange that assaults against police officers, rather than falling along with crime, instead have shot up.
In the first half of 2010, the LAPD recorded 68 serious assaults against police; so far this year, that total is 105. That's discouraging because the number had dropped significantly in 2010, and police were hoping that was the beginning of a long-term trend. The uptick in Los Angeles comes against a national backdrop of increasing violence against police. This year opened with a spate of shootings at officers across the nation — 10 in the first week of January alone. Through July 5, 41 officers nationally had been killed by gunfire, compared with 29 through that date in 2010.
Paradoxically, one factor in the recent increase may be better policing. Several years back Bratton loosened the rules for when police can respond to crime scenes with lights and sirens. "Instead of being 15 minutes late and everyone's gone, now we get there and the crime's still going on," said LAPD Capt. Phillip C. Tingirides, who runs the department's Southeast Division. That's good for public safety, but it can mean more violent confrontations.
Tingirides' division is in one of the city's most dangerous areas and home to some of its largest housing projects. It is an area where liquor and fast food are available on almost every commercial street corner, while quality supermarkets and sit-down restaurants are notably absent. It is, as Tingirides described it, a place where "having compassion is huge."
And yet, despite its demographics and difficulties and many challenges, Southeast is bucking the alarming trend in violence against police. Felony assaults against police in the division have dropped from 12 in the first half of last year to four this year.
That's worth noting, in part because Southeast is also a place where, historically, relations between police and the community have been difficult. Tingirides' colleagues, Sgt. Randy Goens and Senior Lead Officer Eric M. Young, recall an evening in 2007 when a crowd, angry at a rough arrest in the division, stormed the station and rushed the front desk. Protesters pushed their way over the desk and grabbed officers; it grew so furious that the station dropped the steel barrier that guards the front door.
There are still plenty of tense moments. Summer, for example, brings particular problems. Residents are outdoors more, they're drinking, they get cranky and combative. Police arrive to do their work, and conflict is hard to avoid. "When we're taking someone to jail, they don't always want to go along with the program," Young said.
But the Southeast officers said they can palpably feel the difference between working against a community and working with it. Goens, for instance, remembers an altercation at Imperial Courts a little over a year ago. It was a weekend night, and police arrested a suspect in view of a crowd mingling in the project grounds; the arrest was physical, and the crowd gathered menacingly around the officers until a woman who is widely regarded as a leader in the community — and whom the LAPD has taken pains to respect — arrived and was briefed on the incident. She urged the crowd to disperse. It did.
Perhaps the most vivid example of progress, however, lies in the dramatic change in the Southeast Division's relationship with Nickerson Gardens. In the 1980s, as Tingirides remembered, the LAPD would not send a two-officer car to respond to calls for help from the project; it was too afraid of ambush. Last week, a group of LAPD officers played a basketball game against a team from Nickerson Gardens at the project. Nickerson Gardens won with a shot at the buzzer.
Officers will hear about that for a few weeks. They'll be teased about a rematch, said Goens, but they'll be talking about basketball.
Those are the paybacks for a more conscientious Police Department — safety for officers, order for communities, peace.
Newton: Mean streets — for police
Crime in Los Angeles is down, but citizen assaults on officers are up.

Finger painting! Yayyy! I love this POV, David, thank you!
If you can manage not to /say (out loud) dumb stuff like "g2g so my bro can use the computer." Or worse... You'll do just fine - come play with us. Just be aware of what your character would know.
I was really nervous when I picked my RP server. (sheesh! TWO years ago) I still kind of stink at improv. I type slowly and badly - so I emote a lot.
...and Addie is quite a lot like me only multiplied somehow, she's more naive and more loyal and more fierce - she's the denmomma and you darn well better not mess with her young'uns! (and her young'uns darn well better do nothing to dishonor the guild!) I'm still not brave enough to RP something I'm not. For instance, my little priestling Aelthena had a twin brother Aelthen... he was a mage - no one knows what happened to him. ::shifty:: (I tried to play a gay BElf for a bit and failed miserably - so I sort of imply that Aelthena got a sex change without bashing anyone over the head with it. It's as close to "not me" as I can manage so far. *grins*)

RPC wins landmark media harassment case for Daily Mail
Readers' comments (3)
that's very good lawyering from a London firm that impresses.
interested readers should read judge's damming, but measured, concluding comments of plaintiff and her so-called associates.
Well done the Daily Mail & Co- about time someone stood up for freeedom of speech. Did Mishcon' s do this on a CFA?
Having gone through the deprivations and bombing of the last war, I remember it was for a better Britain and freedom, which includes speech. This was a good judgment and has made it clear that no one can hide their wrongs behind the law of harassment.

At the start of the week we were struggling for a front row…
…And it wasn't until later that 'year end' Dan Wyatt and 'expectant father' James Godwin agreed to travel to Yatton. With another late surge in student numbers we had a strong squad.
Having arrived too early at Weston previously, we arrived only 20 minutes before kick off at Yatton. At the start of the game, Johnny
Stanton was missing; Ben Escott was still changing after a delay buying man of the match wine and luke mccraith was still on route.
John Rich, obviously unaccustomed to 3rd team rugby, complained of not being warmed up and on came debutant Callum Taylor.
In the early exchanges, it was evident that we had the better of
Yatton in set plays and had backs who could make breaks. Ten minutes into the game, some simple passing led to Kenny Everitt stepping inside his man for an easy score. luke lane missed the extras, but surely there were more scores in this game.
Yatton fought hard and ended up attacking our line a couple of times, but our defence held strong. Despite having the majority of possession, we could not finish anything and attack after attack broke down from a forward pass or knock on. When awarded a penalty, Johnny
Stanton took the initiative and sent over a great kick.
Shortly before half time, Jim Kelly was hit in the calf by a sniper and was out for the game, in his place came a ginger Ryan Hartley. At half time we made some changes, on came Andy Taylor for Kenny and Ali Moger moved up to skipper the side. A blowing Callum Taylor made way for the fully warmed up Jon Rich.
The second half continued in much the same way as the first, with many missed opportunities and the constant threat of a Yatton score. Luke
Lane & Johnny Stanton made some excellent breaks, but the finishing touch was lacking. As the half progressed, frustration increased and the blowing of the final whistle was a relief.
Man of the match award and a bottle of luke warm rose went to Tom
Grant; to celebrate his birthday, his efforts all season and some great runs. On our return to Shaft Rd some of the team stayed to enjoy
Jerry Burns' flavoured vodkas and his aggressive hospitality; Simon
Smart went to a dance show.
It has been a pleasure to captain the 3rds this season, to fulfill every fixture, to come 3rd in the league and to have some great regular players; one more year it is!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–Putting a wrap on Georgia's 24-19 Gator Bowl loss to Nebraska, which ended the Bulldogs season at 8-5.
I'll be dropping some notes and quotes and video on the blog here (most will be later if I file stories for the paper and website).
–First, offensive coordinator Mike Bobo declined to comment specifically about whether he's interested or will talk to Georgia Southern about its head coach opening.
"Right now I'm just disappointed that we didn't get it done today, to be honest," Bobo said.
He did address his aspirations to be a head coach eventually.
"I think we all, well I, aspire to be a head coach one day," Bobo said. "Where at? I don't know. I also aspire to win a championship here at the University of Georgia. We've been close so many times and I do feel like the ingredients are there. I do feel like Mark Richt is one of the best head coaches in the country. We're able to get players and have guys that can make plays."
Georgia didn't make enough on New Year's Day.
Bobo has talked to his father, a former high school coach, and Richt about the responsibilities that come with a head coaching job.
"I do know I want to do that—one day," Bobo said. "Whatever happens, happens. I'm not trying to actively pick up the phone and call people. If things happen, they happen."
–Bobo confirmed what was expected.
Reserve quarterback Christian LeMay, who practiced with the team during the bowl, is transferring.
"LeMay has decided to move on and I wish nothing but the best for him and his career," Bobo said. "I do think he's got a chance to be a very good player and hopefully the place he goes to and the system they run, he'll be able to be successful."
LeMay has told coaches at Jacksonville State (Ala.) that he will join the FCS program. Former Bulldogs safety Shaquille Fluker said he's also transferring there.
Now to the postgame videos:
Here's tight end Arthur Lynch:
Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo:
Cornerback Shaq Wiggins:
Outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins:
And tailback Todd Gurley:
–Tailback Todd Gurley was to the point on Georgia's red zone issues. The Bulldogs got three field goals and a touchdown on six possessions that reached the 20.
The Bulldogs' last two drives ended with fourth-down drops by Rantavious Wooten and Arthur Lynch.
"That sucks, man," Gurley said. "Just to go all the way down and you just give it to them. That's a bad feeling right there."
–Georgia's drops were a bigger issue in the passing game than the pass protection even on a day when quarterback Hutson Mason was sacked four times.
Bobo thought Georgia did a good job against Randy Gregory, the Big Ten sack leader who had one sack.
"I thought for the most part we did a good job up front blocking him," Bobo said. "He was able to get off a little bit. We had the screen to slow him down a little bit and in the run game, put a tight
end over him. Overall, I don't think it was an abnormal amount of shots that any quarterback would take."
–Here's some of what defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said:
"I thought our guys played really hard. I thought we practiced really well, but when you give up an explosive play like that (on 99-yard touchdown pass), it damages a lot of good things. It's 99 yards, it's seven points, it's momentum, it's field position. You have to play a lot of plays really good to overcome that and to our guys credit, they kept battling and got back in the game, got some three and outs, got a turnover (on Shaq Wiggins interception)."
On giving up touchdowns after a funbled punt and interception with short fields: "We didn't do a good enough job in sudden change situations on the two turnovers and in those situations, it's our job to make them kick field goals."

Happy New Year, Chaos Crew. It's 2013– and not soon enough. I ended the year in fitting fashion with a nasty cold and general malaise. Is 2012 over? Apparently so, because yesterday I woke up at dawn to watch the Rose Parade and start the new year with a fresh attitude and hot chocolate. Woo-hoo!
For the last few years, I avoided resolutions and simply chosen some words to live by for the year.
Some years, I was more successful than others in carrying through. Honestly, last year's Do The Work worked until May, then 'the work' took a back seat to a variety of family health issues. And sometimes that happens. I stopped beating myself up in about September and rode out the rest of 2012 re-arranging my priorities.
In 2013, I hope to embrace the time-honored concept that Change is Good. With my mother's death and my father's health, my life has already changed quite a bit. My older son will be graduating from high school and (hopefully) heading off to college in the fall. My younger son will become a de facto only child and that means a new dynamic in the house. And today, on my 20th wedding anniversary (!!!!) it seems like moving forward in my marriage is more appealing than standing still. Professionally, i feel like I need a new plan. All I'm saying is things have changed, will change and probably should change. And change is good, right?
So, here's to embracing my change in 2013. There will still be chaos, I'm sure, but I hope with a positive attitude, a lot of dog walks and yoga and appreciating all the I have, I hope to manage that chaos with courage and a sense of humor.
Embracing my Chaos, Lian

Liveable City Reports Confirms SDS a "bad dealâ€
Press Release July 1, 2008
Stop Domain Subsidies' Claims Substantiated by Liveable City Report
"The Domain: Anatomy of a Bad Deal"
Liveable City, whose mission is to build a shared and sustainable vision for Austin's future, released a report on economic development practices on Monday authored by economist Michael Oden, a professor in the Community and Regional Planning Department at the University of Texas at Austin. The report, entitled, "Building a More Sustainable Economy: Economic Development Strategy and Public Incentives in Austin", systematically exposes the folly of the subsidies slated for The Domain luxury shopping mall, by concluding, "The Domain deal stands out among all the incentive packages supported by the city in the past ten years as a generally bad deal by most meaningful criteria." The report was also most critical of the one week notice the Austin City Council gave to the public before passing the $65 million subsidy package the study referred to as "a bad deal". The report goes on to substantiate claims made by Stop Domain Subsidies founder, Brian Rodgers, who has been working since 2003 to stop the taxpayer boondoggle, which led to a citizen's petition drive to place the issue on the November ballot.
The report was commissioned for the purpose of reviewing the City of Austin's policies and procedures related to tax incentives. The overall report gives a series of recommendations that will help safeguard that in the future the City's taxpayers are protected. You can read the full report here. The Domain deal is discussed starting on page 62:
