Lehigh's Coen still feels his guys were champions, but just didn't get a trophy
Lehigh football coach Andy Coen was doing fine through his postgame press conference Saturday at Goodman Stadium when a couple of questions tugged at his heart.
The first one asked him what his postgame message was to his team in the aftermath of the crushing 50-28 loss to Lafayette that denied the Mountain Hawks a Patriot League title for the second straight year, even though they had won 18 of 22 games over the two seasons.
"Here's what I told them last night," Coen said as his eyes began to well and his voice trailed off. "I told them that they're all champions. They just didn't have a trophy to symbolize it.
"Then after the game, I told them 'You guys are still champions. … you just don't have a trophy because for the 60 minutes during the game today you got outplayed.' But for what they did during the year. … it was a pretty good year. I told the seniors I loved them and the other guys just have to go back to work so that the next time they have an opportunity like they had today, they take advantage of it."
As tough as that question was to get through, the second question took Coen back to when he recruited this current group of seniors.
It was the winter of 2009 and Lehigh was coming off a 4-7 season, its third consecutive losing campaign and its worst record since another 4-7 in 1997.
Coen again struggled to fight back tears when thinking about the guys he and his staff coaxed to come to South Mountain in that situation to try to get the once-proud, but scuffling program back in the right direction.
"When you're with a bunch of guys as much as you are as a coach and you're around them for four years, you just get so attached," Coen said. "I don't know if this senior group is different from other groups, but these kids believed in what we were doing and what we were talking to them about. So, yeah, they're special.
"They could have gone to other places where guys were telling them that if you go Lehigh you'll be there for one year and coach Coen is going to get fired and Lehigh will be looking for another coach. And I know all of that stuff happened."
However, as it turned out, none of what was being said by others four years ago, happened.
In the past four seasons, Lehigh went 39-9, won two league championships and a pair of playoff games, both on the road. They have two players in the NFL and have been ranked in the national polls for 43 consecutive weeks.
Winning games and champions are great, Coen said, but he added that what he wants more than anything for the student-athletes who come through his program is to have a positive experience.
Despite what happened on Saturday, the seniors who took off their uniforms for the last time can definitely say they had a positive four-year experience.
The 2013 season will always be remembered for its remarkable comebacks — both in games and in the grand scheme of things.
A lesser team would have been distracted by four suspensions and the arrest of one player from an off-campus incident back in September.
A weaker squad would have succumbed to the disappointment of the 48-10 loss to Bucknell on Oct. 26 or the news that came out a few days later that quarterback Brandon Bialkowski, who was playing the position as well as anyone in the country to that point, would be lost for the season because of a fractured collarbone.
Somehow, some way, this group plodded forward.
Going with raw QBs Matt McHale and Nick Shafnisky, the freshman from Whitehall, and getting clutch performances by senior running back Keith Sherman and a suddenly revitalized defense, Lehigh managed to beat Holy Cross and Colgate to set up Saturday's winner-take-all battle.
But the earlier flaws of this team resurfaced and with Bialkowski's injury finally revealing its magnitude and making the offense one-dimensional, Lafayette was simply too good in too many areas for Lehigh to overcome.
Sherman, one of the team's senior captains, ran for 141 yards on 18 carries on Saturday and became the program's first 1,000-yard rusher since Jermaine Pugh in 2002, but he needed more help.
Lee Kurfis, another senior captain, had seven catches for 79 yards and a score, and finished with a new Lehigh single-season record of 99 catches.
But while he was often open, the ball didn't find him nearly enough.
The fact that 12 of Lehigh's 22 starters and 30 of the 45 offensive and defensive players listed on the two-deep chart for Saturday's game will return next season was of little comfort at day's end.
As Coen said during the week, the Lehigh-Lafayette game is always about the seniors, and this group probably deserved a better fate than to watch the Leopards celebrate and hoist the Patriot League title trophy on their home field just as Colgate did last November.
Those returning can only vow to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"I don't like playing for championships and losing them at home," Coen said. "I don't feel good about it."Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

Using portfolios in the assessment of learning and competence: the impact of four models
Endacott, R., Webb, C., Scholes, Julie, Gray, M., Jasper, M., McMullan, M. and Miller, C. (2004) Using portfolios in the assessment of learning and competence: the impact of four models Nurse Education in Practice, 4 (4). pp. 250-257. ISSN 1471-5953
This paper discusses the diversity of portfolio use highlighted in a study funded by the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting exploring the effectiveness of portfolios in assessing learning and competence (Endacott et al., 2002). Data collection was undertaken in two stages: through a national telephone survey of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) delivering nursing programmes (stage 1); and through four in-depth case studies of portfolios use (stage 2). Data collection for stage two was undertaken through field work in four HEIs purporting to use portfolios as an assessment strategy, and their associated clinical placement settings. Four approaches to the structure and use of portfolios were evident from the stage 2 case study data; these were characterised as: the shopping trolley; toast rack; spinal column and cake mix. The case study data also highlighted the evolutionary nature of portfolio development and a range of additional factors influencing the effectiveness of their use, including language of assessment, degree of guidance and expectations of clinical and academic staff.

Life of Crime Can't Take Itself Seriously
By Alan Scherstuhl
By Amy Nicholson
The great charm of Richard Linklater's The Newton Boys derives from its quartet of matinee idols--Matthew McConaughey, Skeet Ulrich, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D'Onofrio--and its unbridled affection for the high-spirited gang of Texas country boys they portray, adventurers who rob banks with such sunny enthusiasm and impeccable yes-ma'am manners that an audience has almost no choice but to fall for them. Any grandmother up in the balcony would be proud to call a bright, polite boy like Hawke's Jess Newton her own. And she likely wouldn't give a hoot that he's just knocked over the Farmers Trust of Omaha.
Romantic outlaws have been a staple of Hollywood movies since the Warner brothers first stuck the soundtrack on the edge of the celluloid, but Linklater's take on the type is something special. Having built his reputation on raw, youth-cult hits like Slacker and Dazed and Confused, here he parlays a big budget and handsome production values into a most appealing valentine to grand larceny, set at a pivotal American moment. The real-life Newton brothers, you see, began their careers in crime stealing watermelons in Uvalde County, Texas, before World War I. They went on to rob more than eighty Midwestern banks (sometimes two in one night, but always without shooting anyone) between 1919 and 1924. After a rough scrape with local and federal authorities in Chicago, they served their time, returned to Texas and, to a man, died in bed of old age. There's not much tragic potential in that, but there's a good deal of historical reach.
Said another way, the Newtons inherited the rough frontier instincts of Jesse James, bridged the gap to Bonnie and Clyde and lived long enough, some of them, to witness the election of Richard Nixon. This gives Linklater plenty of stylistic leeway and the chance to write another elegy for the Old West even as he's glorifying some of Hollywood's newest stars. He makes the most of the opportunities. The Newton Boys opens with a lovely sequence of black-and-white credits in vintage silent-movie style, accompanied by rinky-dink piano, and in the first robbery sequence, our folk heroes, in neckerchiefs and cowboy hats, struggle to make their escape on horseback while a black Model-T Ford stuffed with lawmen scoots after them into the mists of a Texas afternoon. Right there, we know what we're in for: The Times, They Are A-Changin'.
The leader of the pack is cocky young Willis Newton (McConaughey), an inveterate charmer and liar sharpened by a stint in the state pen and convinced that he's a little thief taking down larger thieves--like crooked bankers bilking their insurance companies. "I'm good friends with Pancho Villa," he brags. But at heart he's no rebel. Fact is, Willis is in bank robbery only as a kind of apprenticeship. His real dream is to dig oil wells back home in Texas and let the prosperity simply gush. It's not to be.
"We don't kill, we don't rob women and children, and we don't rat," he explains. Who are we to resist such lofty principles? Every time slick Willis, rowdy brother Dock (D'Onofrio), shy boy Joe (Ulrich) and cool cat Jess steal into a bank at midnight, blow off the door of the safe with that newfangled nitroglycerin and retire to their hotel suite to count the cash, drink whiskey and play the ukulele, we can't help thinking that chivalry is not dead. Why, when a meddlesome old woman in a nightcap interrupts their work, the Newtons don't shoot her; they politely tell her to go back to bed.
This, we suspect, is a wild gloss on the facts, but who's in a mood to argue? The picture is so genial--none of Bonnie Parker's forebodings of doom for this wild bunch--that we are swept along by the Robin Hood romance of it all. Little matter that the Claude Stanush book on which the script is based is itself based on the twilight memories of the Newtons themselves: The boys' credentials as con men had been established decades earlier.
As I said, why quibble? One of the things movies do best, after all, is make myth. Linklater gives the Newtonian exploits a romantic sheen, cinematographer Peter James captures them in soft, golden light, and the glorious young cast seems to be having such a great time that it will never end. Even the brothers' near-disastrous encounter with a crew of Toronto bank guards and the overly ambitious mail-train robbery that finally brings them low have about them a buoyant, Keystone Kops quality that renders the Newtons bulletproof (for the most part) and leaves our own darker fears undisturbed. When Willis falls in love with an Omaha cigar-stand girl (Julianna Margulies), that has the aura of myth, too: She knows better, but she'll stick by her man.
All of this sunlight is probably what makes Linklater's observations on time and tide so poignant. When one of the Newtons, gotten up now as a city slicker in a celluloid collar, arranges at a hotel desk to send his saddle back to Texas, the scene is no less affecting than watching outmoded cowboy Kirk Douglas in Lonely Are the Brave, stranded with his horse on a highway as behemoth trucks blow their air horns at him. And when the boys from Texas suddenly find themselves over their heads up in Al Capone's Chicago, we find ourselves yearning for their trampled ethics--fictional though they might be.

Racine man requests not to attend own trial
(Information in the following story is from: The Journal Times, http://www.journaltimes.com)
RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- A 68-year-old Racine man accused of killing a retired school teacher and robbing her of quarters doesn't want to be present for his trial.
Wilbert Thomas is charged in the October 2010 beating and strangulation death of 67-year-old Sandra Teichow. She was handing out quarters at a Laundromat in Racine.
Thomas' Public Defender Travis Schwantes told the judge Friday that Thomas requested not to be present during the trial partly because of publicity about the case.
The Journal Times reports Thomas wanted to watch the trial via closed-circuit television from the jail.
But Racine County Circuit Judge Tim Boyle said he wanted to avoid potential appellate court issues in the case, so he ordered Thomas to be present when the trial starts Monday.
Man who killed Summit police officers wins release
(Information in the following story is from: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, http://www.jsonline.com)
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A man who killed two Summit police officers nearly 40 years will be released from a mental health institution.
A six-person jury in Waukesha decided Thursday that Alan Randall may safely be released from Mendota Mental Health Institute.
The 54-year-old will remain there until a July 8 hearing. That's when the state Department of Health Services will present a plan to the judge for approval.
Randall was 16 when he killed Robert "Rocky" Atkins and Wayne Olson in 1975. He was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and committed to a state mental hospital.
He had tried numerous times over the years to win his release.
Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the victims' families are upset he'll be released.
Manitowoc County solves case of missing man
(Information in the following story is from: Herald Times Reporter, http://www.htrnews.com)
MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- The Manitowoc County sheriff's department has solved the case of a Mishicot man who disappeared 27 years ago.
Harry Ballard was reported missing on March 14, 1986. The 59-year-old had a drinking problem and often disappeared for extended periods of time.
Manitowoc County Coroner Curtis Green tells the Herald Times Reporter the court declared him dead in 1990 but his body was never found.
Green says he came across his file in 2012 again and his office and the sheriff's office made some calls.
He says they learned that someone matching Ballard's description had died in Florida of natural causes shortly after Ballard went missing.
Green says positive identification was made through fingerprints.
Ballard's wife has since died and Green said they are trying to locate other family members.
DNR: Hungry bear grabs donkey in Outagamie Co.
(Information in the following story is from: WLUK-TV, http://www.fox11online.com)
TOWN OF MAINE, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden Mike Young says he's never seen anything quite like it in his 20 years on the job.
A 300-pound black bear in search of food recently targeted a donkey in Outagamie County. Young says the bear dragged the donkey out of a pen in the Town of Maine, but left two llamas alone.
With the ground still cold and the lack of greenery, Young says black bears are raiding bird feeders and getting into trouble. He tried to trap the bear that killed the donkey, but it would pull the meat out of the trap and avoid capture. Young says he was able to get a shot at the bear, but only wounded him.
WLUK-TV says Young called in a bear hunting guide and a dog and they tracked the bear down and killed it.
UP man arrested after explosive devices found
MENOMINEE, Mich. (AP) -- A western Upper Peninsula man is jailed after authorities found several explosive devices in a Menominee apartment building.
Menominee County prosecutor Dan Hass tells the Eagle-Herald of Marinette, Wis., that the 51-year-old man could be charged Saturday and arraigned as early as Monday.
At least five devices were found by police Friday afternoon after a search of the man's apartment. Neighbors in the 8-unit building were notified, but an evacuation was not ordered.
A bomb squad was called in late Friday night.
Police were notified Thursday of threats apparently made to the man's wife.
Some Wis. lakes may have ice for fishing opener
(Information in the following story is from: WLUK-TV, http://www.fox11online.com)
OCONTO, Wis. (AP) -- Some anglers in Wisconsin may be ice fishing for the season opener.
Wisconsin's fishing season opener is May 4, and there's still ice on many northern lakes.
State Department of Natural Resources officials say people can still ice fish, however they warn those anglers to use extreme caution and to wear a life jacket.
DNR Conservation Warden Joe Paul tells WLUK-TV there is 21 on Wheeler Lake in Lakewood and in general 12 to 22 inches across northern Oconto County.
But heading south looks more promising. Lake Winnebago is wide open.
Besides lakes, DNR officials say there are other fishing opportunities on opening day, including trout fishing since area streams are flowing.

Every fall and Winter the faculty direct mainstage productions, and every winter we select a few students to direct an evening of one act plays. Students have designed lighting, costuming, scenery, and sound for a number of our productions.

Israel charges two soldiers with beating bound Palestinian
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli military has charged two soldiers with beating up a blindfolded and bound Palestinian detainee, the army said on Sunday.
According to the charges, brought before a military court last Monday, the soldiers were guarding a Palestinian man who was being held at a military base in May 2012 after illicitly entering Israel from the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
A statement from the military said the Palestinian had been placed "bound and blindfolded" in an isolated room, where two soldiers had beaten him while another filmed the incident.
The third soldier has since concluded his military service, but is expected to be indicted following a hearing, the army said, along with a fourth former soldier who stood guard outside the room.
The military said the soldiers had not yet entered a plea. A lawyer representing one of the soldiers could not be reached for comment, but he was quoted on the Israeli Haaretz website as saying his client denied the allegations.
(Writing by Maayan Lubell; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
How inhuman treatment of a person for just " . . 'illicitly entering' Israel from the Palestinian Gaza Strip" and, in isolated state, beating him for no reason whatsoever. It should be treated by the Israeli court as HATE CRIME and punished by a lengthy imprisonment as a message to any other future would-be perpetrator of the same.

Two weeks ago we were excited to introduce Experiences by GroupMe — a new way to help groups of friends get together better in the real world. With Experiences, you can discover, plan, and collaboratively pay for the amazing group experiences you'll always remember. Today, we're just as excited to announce the launch of the Experiences Partner Program, along with our first three flagship partners! Each of these new collaborators will bring unique new group opportunities to our line-up:
1) Excursionist, with luxury travel experiences throughout the U.S. and around the world
2) Underground Eats, with exclusive culinary experiences
3) Zozi, with fun outdoor and adventure experiences
Together, these three partners complement our own selection of hand-picked group Experiences, to bring you even more amazing things to do with your friends. Adding these partners to the Experiences family means they'll have the opportunity to showcase the best social opportunities they've got, using our super fun and simple group planning (and group paying) platform. Traveling and dining alone is uncommon — not to mention less fun than it is with friends! — so our conversations so far have been all about coming up with the best social experiences. One of our premiere Partner collaborations is the Best of the Bayou New Orleans Experience, a four-day adventure to one of America's most culturally robust and colorful cities, complete with private musical and dining tours, designed flexibly for groups of two to six friends. And, a private dining experience hosted by an Iron Chef finalist, which lets you and your friends be among the first to try his brand new East Village restaurant Graffiti Me in five courses with wine pairing, for groups of two to four.
The Experiences Partner Program is really beneficial for our Partners too. Because GroupMe's core expertise as a company is all about group dynamics (communication, decision-making, and collective purchasing), we're able to take a lot of the manual effort out of the group planning and payment process. To get all business for a second, we help our partners benefit from added exposure, introducing their unique offers to a new audience while nixing the friction their customers endure while planning for groups—solving that classic group-buying problem of, "If I decide to front the money for this experience, which of my friends are going to pay me back and actually show up?" And soon, we'll be pioneering awesome new ways of reaching groups via mobile, and amping up our new mobile-optimized checkout process—that's great news for us, our Partners, and you too. Today's news is the first step in building relationships that deliver even more great group options to Experiences customers and our Partners' customers in a way that's easy and fun. Win win win.
Stay tuned for more in the upcoming weeks. If you're looking for things to do with your friends, check out Experiences today for a slew of great new options. And if you're a potential partner with experiences great for groups of friends, you might be a great fit for us — we'd love to hear from you.
Above left: A day-long bike tour in Central Park for four; Center: The best of the Bayou during four days in New Orleans for two to six; Right: Iron Chef finalist Jehangir Mehta invites groups of two to four to a premiere taste of his brand new East Village restaurant.

Jon Lucien (January 8, 1942 – August 18, 2007) was a vocalist, songwriter, and musician from the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1974 he released Mind's Eye on RCA Records and it contains my favorite song by him titled "Listen Love", a funky, yet soul filled uptempo tune with cultural elements. Other than Lucien's outstanding performance on several instruments and vocals, there was an impressive line-up of talented musicians who took part of the project. Most notably, Dave Grusin on piano and percussion, who also conducted the orchestra, and Ralph McDonald on percussion as well.

Well gosh - welcome, new followers! I assume y'all linked over from Liz's post at One Twenty Five, and I'm flattered. I haven't posted anything in a while because I was trying to be more balanced, and while I groan at the cliche of starting up in a new year, the prospect of getting to know you all and being a part of this community again is too tempting to pass up. So, let's do this.
Five quick things to bring everyone up to speed:
1. I'm on tumblr every day, staying updated on the ppl I follow while contributing nothing myself, lol. This'll change. Shoutouts to a few of my favs, though, in case you're looking for other women to follow:
- Liz (obv)
- Jilda - Crossfit and paleo and loveliness in the pacific northwest
- Alex - Squatting heavy and taking the corporate world by storm
- Kelton - This woman's writing brings me to tears
- Teneshia - "Thick brick shithouse" are her words. Total inspiration.
- Courtney - Powerlifting or Figure? Hmm, Both. + Science.
2. 2013 was a massive transition, and not an easy one. This time last year, I was self-employed, living with my best friend and (ex-)boyfriend, and traveling willy-nilly. I took a fulltime 9-5 gig heading up a consultancy's research department in April, moved out in June and then bought a condo in Toronto last month. The Google calendar that used to contain all my upcoming flight info now consists of mortgage payment reminders, but on the bright side, you guys should see my kitchen! It's gorgeous and increasingly filled with friends, wine and Mexican food. Which brings me to #3.
3. OMG Mexican food. Seriously. I can't get enough. I spent a week at a cooking school in Tepoztlan, Mexico this past November and it's my absolute go-to for everything from dinner parties to weeknight slowcooker meals. godo2point0 on instagram if you like food pics and gym selfies. Oh, right - the gym…
4. I lift. I maxed my deadlift at 275lbs before tweaking a dumb thing in my lower back in September, so I'm currently back at 135lbs and increasing by 10lbs per week as long as I don't feel any pain. A shitty hip problem and very long legs have made squats frustrating, but I can leg press 520lbs and barbell lunges are my default lower body exercise. Trying to be responsible and taking it one day at a time to prevent further injury, but less weight on the bar means fewer tacos and cupcakes. My goal is to maintain a balance that lets me live a happy life while looking, feeling and performing my best. NOT EASY, YOU GUYS. But we're all in this together :)
5. I don't know. I said there'd be five things… Feel free to drop a question in my Ask or tell me about you!
How to compliment a woman in the gym:
- Guy (at the water fountain): Were you just repping 225lb deadlifts?
- Me: Yeah.
- Guy: That's fucking badass. (/props)
- Me: Thanks!
- The End.
Hi Everybody!
It's been months since I posted, but I think I'll start it up again. I'm always thinking of things I want to say or report but never know where to start. So I just will. But I've been following everyone else daily! (unless that's creepy…)
A quick update: I live alone now (not with Nick anymore) in a little 1-bedroom basement apartment in The Beaches area of Toronto. Things were really tough for a bit, but now I'm getting back into a routine, working out regularly again and cleaning up my nutrition.
I know what you're all thinking: "How are your deadlifts?" Gosh, great question. They're on track to hit 300lbs by 2014. I tried and failed repeatedly at 275 earlier this week, before bumping down to 265 and getting it up slow and hard, but if I can keep adding 10lbs a month, I'll reach my goal.
I've gained a bit of weight, but I think I've got it under control. Some is obviously muscle (see: 265lb deadlift) but I always want to be leaner than I am, so I'm just doing my best. Health takes precedence over body composition, so long as my clothes fit (which most of them do) :P
Been doing lots of biking and kayaking and wine drinking and trying new things like horseback riding and cake decorating. Instagram's the best place to catch up so I'll probably post some things periodically from there.
Looking forward to being back :)
Muscle Gain 06.18.12: Back (1.4x Bodyweight Edition)
Back in Vegas, joined the 24 Hour Fitness just like last year. Didn't do a ton of exercises today but wanted to get some heavy lifting in, and managed to hit a 10 lb PR for my deadlift without injuring myself, so yay. Feeling something weird in my left elbow, otherwise I would have done some arm stuff. Nutrition wasn't amazing today, but hit Trader Joe's to get myself set up for the next couple of weeks. Off to a reasonably good start :)

County discusses DeltAlert, EPD investigation
Posted by

Top Stories
Sunday, March 4. 2012
Pike County commissioners discussed the county's new emergency notification system that will go into effect this month and an upcoming inspection from the Environmental Protection Division of county fuel tanks that were found to be in violation earlier this year.
Emergency Management Agency director Jimmy Totten said funding for DeltAlert should arrive soon and the first call out from the notification system was made Feb. 23. He encouraged everyone to update their contact information at
l and through the DeltAlert link at
County manager Bill Sawyer said he met with public works director Todd Goolsby and EPD employees to discuss the gas tanks at public works and the county should receive a written report in the next 30 days.
Board members also heard from Agribusiness Authority director Chris Curry about improvement opportunities at Chestnut Oak off Highway 19 South.
She said the authority received a $3,000 grant from Southern Rivers Energy and a $2,000 grant from Upson EMC to provide lighting at Chestnut Oak.
She asked commissioners to help install the lights by providing $1,500 for light poles and a ditch witch to dig the lines for wiring.
So far everything that has been done at the facility – including grading and building an arena and restroom facility – has been done through volunteer work and the facility is an important resource for Pike.
Commissioners also heard from planning and development director David Allen that a comparison from December 2010 to 2011 shows permits are up 30% and revenue is up 27%. He said signs of economic improvement include construction of several new homes, the Dollar General in Williamson and the expansion of Johnson Battery in Zebulon.
• Heard SPLOST committee members, the project manager and Sawyer and architects met to discuss courthouse renovations which will begin March 1.
• Heard bids for paving the J. Joel Edwards Library parking lot should be opened by commissioners March 20.
• Heard the county's financial team is working with departments on a proposed budget for the fiscal year to start July 1.
• Approved a new alcohol license for retail sales for beer and wine for Pratik D. Raval at Jake and Gianella's Food Mart. The store was recently purchased by new owners.

Letter to the Editor: Financial crisis not result of Bush administration
I would like to rebut the same tired old left talking points that Mr. Rigelon recently wrote about. He talks about the financial crisis due to "disastrous policies of the Bush administration." In 2007, the Democrats took over the House and the Senate. It was the first time since 1995 that this happened. At that time, the unemployment rate was at 4.6 percent. The economic policies of the Bush administration set a record 52 straight months of job growth. Jan. 3, 2007, Barney Frank took over the House financial services committee, and Chris Dodd took over the Senate banking committee. Fifteen months later, we had the banking and financial crisis. President Bush, starting in 2001, asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because it was too risky for the economy. The Democrats fought hard against reform of these two programs, and guess who got the third highest pay-off from Fannie and Freddie? President Obama.
President Obama has spent more money than all of the previous presidents combined, going all the way back to George Washington, and we have nothing to show for it. The old argument that it would have been twice as bad if Obama hadn't come along is like someone burning your house down and then saying "you should be happy I saved the garage." I know it is unfair for Mitt Romney to be president because his wife owns horses. President Obama spends money like a "drunken sailor" on his pleasers as well. The difference is, Mitt Romney spends his own hard-earned money, while President Obama spends our money.
Mr. Rigelon wants to fight for "social justice." This means taking from those who earned their money and giving it to healthy freeloaders. Remember, according to President Obama, if you started a successful business, you wouldn't have done it without government building roads and bridges. Wait a minute ... aren't government roads and bridges paid for by taxpayer money? Nice try, Barry, but we are not that stupid.

How Wise People Build Wealth
Wealth comes in many more colors than just green. Building wealth is a crucial part of building your future, but first we need to define what "wealth" is. You can be rich in many ways, but the wrong definition will inevitably lead to the wrong goal. This series will challenge you to redefine wealth and make wise choices with what money you have – because money doesn't grow on trees.

Stop me when you've heard this before. The Reds will going into a four game series against the Philadelphia Phillies with a bullpen that has been a little extended workwise. Today saw the pen hurl a total of 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits. They walked 4, but managed 8 strikeouts. Aroldis Chapman, Nick Masset, Logan Ondrusek, Jose Arredondo, and Bill Bray took over for starter Johnny Cueto.
There were two relievers that did not work the game: Sam LeCure and Francisco Cordero. LeCure had worked 1.2 innings last night and might not have been available for this game. Cordero is rarely one to turn down getting the ball. More on that in a sec.
But this game, a Reds 5-4 win on a walk-off home run off the bat of Joey Votto (shock), should have been shorter. Much shorter. The pen relinquished runs in the 8th off of Chapman and in the 9th with Masset on the hill. If Chapman does not surrender that run in the 8th, it would have been Cordero working in the 9th instead of Masset. Possibly the same outcome with the Reds winning, but in 5 fewer innings.
With the failure to hold the lead, Dusty Baker had to look to Arredondo to work 3 innings. And what does Jose have to show for it? Not a win, mind you, but at least one day, maybe even two days off. The rest of the pen could be all right, but with not having another off day until September 8th, you might worry about another case of the bullpen being overworked. And the Phillies have been in Cincinnati since yesterday…relaxing.
A little overworked? A little. The only pitcher that will not be available tomorrow night is Arredondo. Bray worked a full inning today, but only one-third of an inning the previoud game. He should be able to go against a lefty if need be. With Masset continuing to struggle and Ondrusek seeing his first action since returning from the disabled list, you could have a thought of not working them on back-to-back days. But if another extra inning affair against the Phillies breaks out…
There is a little light up ahead. The saving grace will be that on the 1st of next month, the rosters will expand. If the pen can hold on for the first three games of the series against the Phillies, it should be a better situation for Baker.

Giuseppe Penone, Bifurcation (Set I), 1986
From the Tate Gallery:
Bifurcation1984 (private collection) is a sculpture comprising a forked branch, stripped of leaves and twigs, and a forked bronze structure, reminiscent of bark, which connect at the point of divergence. This set of related Bifurcation drawings, also highlighting the points of simultaneous connection and separation, suggest openings in the human body, such as wounds. For the artist they are the record of significant moments in the growth of the tree, which have developed over the years into forms which transcend their plant origin. Much of Penone's work is concerned with time as a tranformative agency. Works such as Tree of 12 Metres (see Tate T05557) reverse the processes of time through excavation to resurrect a tree during early stages of its development. While the Bifurcation sculpture externalises the point of connection and divergence through the intersection of two different materials, in the drawings its internal qualities are emphasised.
Penone's work is an expression of his belief that man and nature are one. In his art-making he emphasises the similarity between the gestures of nature, such as the movement of trees, the action of the wind, the flow of water in streams, and the physical gestures of man. In the early 1980s he produced several Plant gesturesculptures made of bronze. His work during this period likens the making of sculpture to movements in nature (often visible only at infinitesimal speeds) which are working in reaction to and in symbiosis with the structure of the surrounding environment. The traces made by man on the natural world are for Penone only another form of the marks constantly being made by the wind on the trees (breaking branches) or water on stone (wearing it away). 'The bifurcations of the trees that appear so intimately human to us … The bifurcations of the fingers, by their movement through space, form the branches, the roots, and by the succession of actions in the same points, construct the branches and trunk of the plant. The woodland landscape is the action of sculpture.'
Giuseppe Penone, Pelle di Marmo, 2001
"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you."

I have just started work at a small SEN secondary school (60 pupils), which amazingly has no server. All the computers currently connect to a shared drive on my pc. I've mentioned how crazy this is, as my computer (only running vista Home) crashes if 5+ users try to access the network shares, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.
The bursar thinks that as SIMS is hosted remotely rebooting my pc is the solution. This seems to have come from the last IT guy, who hated servers and figured NAS would do. I now have 3 dead NAS in my IT cupboard. Plus he left me 2 x 160gb USB drives to backup 400gb+ of data (which he only did weekly)...
The school currently has 40 computers/laptops, 20 of which are connected to touch screens for the pupils. The touch screens only connect to the network for Internet access and are basically standalone. Most of the computers are just running office and educational games. Of the rest of the 7 admin computers really need server access.
I basically know nothing about server specifications. All I know is I need something for data storage and backups. I've considered install server 2008 on my pc, as I've been told I have a limited budget, but figured even if I have to wait until next year it's better to get my request in now.
What should I be looking for?

We love Dolce & Gabbana. Their A/W collection was a real trend tour-de-force - they nailed shaggy gilets and dirndl skirts on the head - so no wonder they are leading an eager fashion pack in another direction for S/S '09. But, to say the collection has sparked debate would be an understatement - their new pyjama style suiting looks not only like the most comfortable trend we've had in years, but also there's something subtly sensual about the spotted silk, layered and wrapped up jackets and tops over 7/8th length trousers, but fact is, it does look like PJs (very luxe ones though). A majorly tricky trend to pull off, so it's exciting to see the first catwalk to red carpet attempt (looks like Jessica Alba is on a bit of fashion mission right now - check out the new hair too). But does she rock it, or is it a flop? We reckon with some better accessorising, and maybe a little dash of jewellery, this could have had a higher score...

I am posting a reply for two reasons.
First, I have updated this old map request rather than start a new one, so I need to bump it back onto a page where somebody might see it.
Second, I am curious if that hinted-at language tutorial was ever made.
Man, you gotta do that tutorial

I am posting a reply for two reasons.
First, I have updated this old map request rather than start a new one, so I need to bump it back onto a page where somebody might see it.
Second, I am curious if that hinted-at language tutorial was ever made.
I've moved this out of archives and back into the maps requested thread for you.
Thanks ravells. I didn't realize it was archived or I might have just made a new post for it.
As an aside though, if it is not too taboo to ask such a question, what is an acceptable price tag on commissioning a world map? I assumed the dollar signs are larger than I can afford for my little pet project... I would be more than happy to pay for the work provided though if my assumptions are wrong.
No worries, dolenore.
Hey, I'm working on a new style at the moment. You can see it here. If you have a campaign world which is 10 years old, then presumably it's pretty rich in detail (which is something I would want in making a map like this). The map I'm currently drawing is just a test piece out of my imagination, but It seems a shame to be putting all that effort into a map which will never be used for anything.
If you like the style, then I'll happily do your map for you using the same or a similar style for, say, 50 bucks. The mountain brushes on the test map do not belong to me (and anyway they are too blurry at the scale required), so I would make new mountain brushes for the map more in keeping with the style - this might take a bit of time though.
What I would like to make is:
1. A large, detailed map (a least one continent).
2. Lots and lots of towns, cities, regions and country labels etc.
3. Anything you can think of to give the map character. E.g. if there was a particularly memorable encounter your players had somewhere, we could make a reference to that.
Drop me a line here, if you'd like to go forward.
Thank you ravells, but as we discussed in private each of our needs won't be met. One or the other of us would have to compromise too much. I definitely appreciate your offer and love that style you are working on, I hope it goes to good use!
I guess I should be more clear on what I want out of the map. Also, is there a way to change the [Unpaid] tag to [Paid?]? Now that I have a ballpark, the issue of payment isn't as troubling.
Hi dol,
No worries. I'm sure you'll get someone to produce something wonderful for you! I'll amend the tag for you now.

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) UC Davis researchers have defined a cellular process that promotes inflammation and, at the same time, found an important starting point for identifying and testing new drugs for diseases such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.
The scientists discovered that a protein called sPLA2-IIA binds to two integrins labeled alpha-V-beta-3 and alpha-4-beta-1, causing them to rapidly multiply and boosting an immune system response already gone awry due to disease.
"We have known for a while that this protein is elevated with inflammation," said Yoshikazu Takada, UC Davis professor of dermatology and lead author of the study, which appears in the September 19 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry. "Our outcome shows with much more precision how the protein actually works to advance inflammation. The potential impact of the finding on our ability to block inflammation and stop the disease process in its tracks is enormous."
Protein sPLA2-IIA has been a major drug discovery target for years, but efforts to counteract the protein have yielded mixed results. Takada explains that this is due to the fact that its intercellular relationships in humans were not well-known. Scientists have previously identified receptors for the protein in mice cells. However, Takada and his team are the first to find that the protein binds to completely different receptors the two integrins in human cells.
Integrins are the "networkers" of the immune system, playing key roles in the attachment of cells to other cells. Integrins are also important to signal transduction, the process by which a cell transforms from one kind of signal or stimulus into another.
"We need to know the mechanisms of inflammation to be able to disrupt it," said Takada. "Now that we know more about how this protein interacts with these integrins, researchers can be much more successful in screening

But as is so often the case with good intentions, the reality of the market may force Google to rethink their strategy as legal and financial pressure continue to mount. Apple has traditionally been the largest foe of the Android community, with lawsuits currently active on every continent and their former CEO Steve Jobs famously swearing to go "thermonuclear" in his personal crusade against the Google endeavor. But it appears that the real threat to everything Android may come from Redmond instead of Cupertino as Microsoft recently announced that one out of ever two sold Android phones falls under their patent claims.

Hihi, I have recently acquired an adapter for my phone and thus can upload pictures from it finally!
This means 2 years worth of cons, art, and random photography--A.K.A. a BUTTLOAD of pictures! Each con I go to I take cosplayer pics (and my own cosplay,if any)so there's a lot. I decided I would do oldest first so ADT 2012 is what I'm doing at the moment. So if you suddenly get 'spammed' with my pictures I'm sorry!
I would have uploaded them after each con but,as I mentioned, I didn't have and adapter so it was impossible. I'm just glad my phone's memory card held out this long
I also hope DA doesn't get mad at me for uploading dozens of pictures in 1 go...otherwise there might be problems.. If you know the name of a cosplay or I make a mistake please tell me! It's much appreciated
Hope you all like the pictures~
I'm having fun w/ onion icons *>*
EDIT: God...I made this in November?! Man that was awhile ago! In other word-I'M SLOW. =__="
I still have the majority of the photoshoot pics I took..Even some character ones!! Well,then again,my uploading of all the pics from 2012 was dependent on me being able to over the holidays (which I wasn't). SO. I still have them -_-" And this DeTour(2014) is in a week,and I still have 2013 to do as well.
I think I may die...

Found October 22, 2012 on Pro Boxing Fans:
PLAYERS: Zora Folley, Sonny Liston, Ernie Terrell, Oscar Bonavena, Bob Foster, Henry Cooper, Jerry Quarry, Mac Foster
With the late Arturo Gatti in the news as he is being considered for induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, fans are again speculating about his mysterious death. But Gatti wasn't the first boxer to die under suspicious circumstances. Zora Folley beat him to it by several decades. Folley (79-11-6, 44 KOs) was active from 1953 to 1970, and fought some of the best heavyweights of his time, being most well known in boxing circles for taking on Muhammad Ali in Ali's last fight before his three-year banishment. Folley lost to the likes of Sonny Liston and Ernie Terrell, but holds impressive victories over the likes of George Chuvalo, Oscar Bonavena, Bob Foster, Doug Jones and Henry Cooper, having split a series of fights with him. On March 22, 1967, Folley, past his prime, faced Muhammad Ali for the WBA championship (Ali's last fight till his 1970 bout with Jerry Quarry). Ali knocked Folley out in the seventh, expressing relief that he hadn't had ...

Last female Munchkin of Oz dies at 95
Ruth Robinson Duccini, the last of the original female Munchkins from the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz," has died. She was 95.
With her death, only one actor who played one of the original 124 Munchkins in the movie remains alive.
Duccini died of natural causes in Solari Hospice Care Center in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Her death was confirmed by Stephen Cox, author of "The Munchkins of Oz." He says he learned of it from Duccini's son.
Duccini, born in Rush City, Minn., travelled to California with a troupe little people, and was cast in the MGM fantasy movie starring Judy Garland. Duccini was 4 feet tall.
Cox provided a recent statement made by Duccini about her time on the movie set.
"It was long hours and heavy costumes. We didn't have much time for ourselves. It was all new to me then, and I loved being a part of what is now a classic," she said.
Duccini met her husband while working at MGM, and the two had a son and daughter.
She worked as a "Rosie the Riveter" in Santa Monica, California, during World War II, using her short stature to squeeze into hard-to-reach parts of planes. She also appeared in the spoof "Under the Rainbow" starring Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher.
In her later years, Duccini appeared at festivals and screenings celebrating "The Wizard of Oz."
The only surviving original Munchkin is Jerry Maren, 93, of Los Angeles, who portrayed a member of the Lollipop Guild.

Nike Zoom Kobe VII 'Lower Merion Aces'
March 12th, 2012 by John Kim | 7 comments
Sneaker News has been busy keeping you up to date with exclusive looks at upcoming colorways of the Kobe VII, but we'd like to side-step the 'Poison Dart Frog' and 'Elite' versions and bring you back to the High School PE colorways that have been a staple of the Zoom Kobe for a few years. This first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII 'Lower Merion Aces' shoes a team red upper with grey/white detailing on the heel and the signature Ace of spades logo embedded onto the heel. No release date has been set just yet, so in the meantime, let us know how you think this primarily red-based colorway compares to last year's grey-dominated PE of the 'Aces', and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more updates. via Kenlu
Kobe is your proof? WTF does that even mean? Trust me guy i know A LOT about basketball. I dtilanefy know more than what ever ESPN tells you, with there subjective ass stats, and stories they have. They're quick to point out that Kobe has 9 NBA-All defense awards, but not understanding, that Dwyane Wade has been the best defensive guard, along with CP3 and Rondo for the past 3 or 4 years, yet Kobe has gotten the nod. You sir don't know Basketball
they nice...i thought they drop 3-17 stateside? like it but will hold off for the usa..i want both elites..cant have em all!! wanna sell my ace vi from last year!
theyre just ok.not worth me picking up
will wait for Chaos and R.I.C.E. cw
These are beautiful!!!
These are releasing in singapore today
Wat size r they?

Montpellier: the last miracle?
By Ulysse Pasquier, writing from Montreal
It's been a week and still even Rémi Gaillard can't quite believe it. Who would have thought at the start of the season that Montpellier, the 13th budget in Ligue 1, would end up lifting the trophy for the first time in its history. The southern city is a cultural and university center in France and has celebrated sporting triumphs in handball and rugby, but never football. Promoted to Ligue 1 just two seasons ago, René Girard's side defied the odds by finishing above big-spending Paris Saint Germain. With Manchester City leading an analogous enterprise as PSG and winning the Premier League, no one outside the French capital could complain about the success of a club focused on the development of young players and a sustainable budget.
Turn the clock back to 2007; Montpellier was in an abysmal state and fighting against relegation to the National league – the third division in France. That's how far they have come, out of nowhere, very much in the image of their emblematic striker Olivier Giroud who was playing for Tours in Ligue 2 just a year ago and is now looking to book his place for the Euro with France. Montpellier's victory was nothing short of miraculous and set the stage for a thrilling season. If you enjoy such underdog stories however, you may have to wait a while before it happens again in France.
"I think our triumph is a real shot in the arm for French football. It just goes to show that everyone can beat everyone and that money isn't the be-all and end-all," René Girard was quick to point out after the win against Auxerre. Not so fast René. Already PSG's wealthy Qatari owners have invested 200 million euros in the club's budget for next season and will want to provide even more finances for transfers. It doesn't seem that much for other European clubs, but for French football, it is a huge sum of money.
While the Ligue 1 may not always display the highest quality of football, it does provide its fair share of entertainment. Unlike other leagues in Europe, there is no "Top 2" or "Top 4" and the title has been contested between many different teams until the last day of fixtures in recent years. As Girard argued, this season did show that money isn't everything, but that was just the tip of the Parisian iceberg. There comes a point when financial discrepancies between clubs outweigh any other variables and that point will be easier to reach in France than in England.
Teams in the Premier League have been able to compete with Manchester City because of their status as some of the wealthiest clubs in the world. French clubs do not have that luxury and will have to come from much further to challenge what PSG is creating. It is therefore difficult to see past Carlo Ancelotti's side for next season and several seasons after that. This kind of wealth will bring more exciting players to France but it would be a sad day when the Olivier Giroud's and the Younes Belhanda's are overshadowed by the results of unrestrained spending.
Can you see a team stopping PSG from winning the Ligue 1 next season? If not, do you think the league in France can still be competitive?
