Mount Shasta and the Hollow Earth
Posted on Thursday, 14 May, 2009 |

William B Stoecker
In June of 1976, when I was still a young man with a fully functioning heart, I climbed Mt. Shasta. It was my fourth attempt, the previous ones having been foiled by equipment failures and weather. As it was, I and my friends had to climb it in a serious storm, and no one who has not survived a storm above timberline even knows what weather is. We struggled up Avalanche Gulch (the entire climb meant a gain of six thousand feet in one day) dodging falling rocks that moved so fast that they whistled. We passed to the right of the Red Bank (some steep rocks at the top of Avalanche Gulch) and walked a narrow path atop a glacier, with a bergschrund (a crevasse at the very top of a glacier) to our left and a steep and icy slope to our right, and then climbed up a low rock wall. Ahead was a kind of plateau and a sloping expanse called Misery Hill, where I smelled sulfur (more on that later). Then we scrambled up the summit crags in the snow and wind, where ice formed on my mustache, and had a wonderful view of absolutely nothing. We were in a cloud. The return journey was easier, but we had to jump from the low rock wall and land atop the glacier; a slight miscalculation would mean a fall into the bergschrund or down the slippery face of the glacier. The descent of Avalanche Gulch went quickly, since we could sit and slide for long distances, ice axes ready to control our descent.
Mount Shasta is a 14,179 foot peak in Northern California. Nothing anywhere near it approaches anywhere near that altitude; even Mt. Ranier in Washington, higher and more glaciated, is surrounded by lesser peaks. Shasta is arguably the most awesome mountain, visually at least, in the lower forty eight states. It is the scene of innumerable paranormal events and ufo sightings, many of them well documented, and these have given rise to some very strange legends. For decades, some people have believed that Shasta is honeycombed by immense caverns wherein dwell all manner of mysterious beings. In 1894 Frederick Spencer Oliver wrote "A Dweller on two Planets," claiming that the survivors of the sunken continent of Lemuria lived in the mountain. In the 1930s Guy Warren Ballard, founder of the I Am Foundation, made the same claim. The science fiction writer Robert Heinlein (a close friend of the mysterious and somewhat sinister Jack Parsons) wrote a novella, "Lost Legacy," about a group of benevolent adepts living in the mountain, who used their paranormal abilities to defeat the evil adepts who ruled the world (some of us believe that the evil adepts are all too real). While, as stated previously, the ufos and paranormal events are well documented, there are some serious problems with the idea of Lemurians living inside the mountain.
First, let us take a somewhat critical look at the idea of Lemuria. There are primates called Lemurs that live on the island of Madagascar, off the southwest coast of Africa, and also in India. In 1864 zoologist Philip Slater proposed that the animals had migrated from Madagascar to India (or vice versa) over an immense land bridge (Lemuria), now submerged. There is no evidence of such a land bridge, and plate tectonics seems to explain the matter; it is now theorized that India broke off from Africa, leaving Madagascar behind, and drifted until it collided with southern Asia, raising the Himalayas. Madame Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, took up the idea of Lemuria and peopled it with advanced beings. Author James Churchward renamed it "Mu" and moved it from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. I have discussed elswhere the reasons why full sized continents cannot sink and why even islands and fragments of continents would take millions of years to do so. This, however, does not rule out the possibility of prehistoric civilizations around the Pacific and Indian Oceans and elsewhere.
As to the immense caverns in Mt. Shasta, remember the smell of sulfur I mentioned? That was from a still active fumarole in what remains of one of the craters of Mt. Shasta (although they scarcely resemble craters today). Shasta is a volcano, part of the Cascade Range, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It consists of four overlapping cones, including its 12,330 foot subsidiary peak, Shastina. It is composed of dacite and andesite, ash, and pyroclastic flows, and it last erupted in 1786 (and is fully capable of erupting again). These rocks tend to be weak and unstable, so large caverns cannot exist; they would simply collapse. And it is hot inside that mountain, too hot for anyone to live there...and that is between eruptions. Small, shallow caves or tunnel systems on the flanks of the mountain or elsewhere in the vicinity are entirely possible, but no Lemurians live in Mt. Shasta.
As long as I am in a more skeptical frame of mind than usual, I might as well take on a related myth, that of the hollow Earth. For centuries people have speculated that our planet may be hollow, with people or various strange beings living within, and that this other world can be entered through deep caverns or by immense openings at the poles. There is so much that is wrong with this that it is hard to know where to begin. There is no way that planets or stars can be hollow; when they are accreted from smaller objects or gas, gravity inevitable pulls everything toward the center, leaving no empty space. If beings of immense power somehow constructed a hollow planet, gravity would immediately cause it to collapse. The Earth's gravity proves that it not only is not hollow, but that its core is particularly dense and heavy. And the interior is hot, hot enough to melt any element, and volcanoes and innumerable measurements prove this. The Earth has been "x-rayed" numerous times by studying the way earthquake shock waves behave as they pass through its interior. The heat and pressure are such that even large caverns cannot exist even a few miles down, as the rocks slowly flow and collapse them, a problem noted by the gold miners of South Africa. As to the supposed openings at the poles, the South Pole is covered by an ice cap and the North Pole is within an ocean some three miles deep. Countless people have flown over both poles, or visited them on foot. There are no openings. Rumors that Admiral Byrd spoke of lands "beyond the pole" are meaningless. As I write this I am "beyond the pole." The North Pole is beyond the South Pole and vice versa. Every spot on Earth is beyond at least one of the poles.
Not satisfied with merely hollowing out the Earth, enthusiasts conveniently light it with a tiny "inner sun" that somehow precariously balances at the exact center. This position would be dynamically unstable, and such a sun would soon crash into one side or the other. And what magical force would cause such a sun to form in the first place? Furthermore, everything that we know about stars shows that they must be many, many times the mass of the entire Earth to sustain their fusion reactions. Even if, as some of us suspect, their energy is at least in part generated by some other process, great mass is still required, which is why even mighty Jupiter does not shine.
But legends of underground realms or perhaps other realities that somehow lie "below" this one or that can be reached by underground routes are very old and very widespread. The Greco-Roman Hades was underground, and the Christian Hell, and numerous realms inhabited by fairies, elves, gnomes, and trolls. Tibetans have legends of a land called Shambhala inhabited by enlightened adepts, located under Tibet or elsewhere in Central Asia, and some believe that its twenty fifth king will emerge to defeat the forces of evil and bring about a golden age. Some accounts say that Shambhala is a purely spiritual realm, and then there are accounts of an underground land called Agartha, and some say that Shambhala is its capital. Or maybe they are two seperate lands and one or the other is inhabited by demons or evil adepts. Accounts are confused and contradictory. The Russian painter and mystic Nicholas Roerich searched for Shambhala in the late nineteen twenties.
William Michael Mott has written in"Caverns, Cauldrons, and Concealed Creatures" of the innumerable accounts, some recent and well documented, of underground realms and encounters with strange beings from these realms. Looking at the whole picture, it is obvious that neither Mt. Shasta nor the Earth can literally be hollow, but high, isolated peaks are often the scene of paranormal events and ufo sightings, and some mysterious things do seem to be happening beneath our feet. We owe it to ourselves to be true skeptics (the self-proclaimed "skeptics" tend to be devout true believers in the atheist/materialist myth) and keep our minds open.

Metro Station
Even though Metro Station has probably been able to capitalize on the fact that its lineup includes Trace Cyrus (half-brother of Miley Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana), the band's music stands on its own merit. "Seventeen Forever," Metro's breakout hit, established a sound grounded in the melding of '80s synth-flavored rock with the modern fusion of emo and dance pop. Some will perhaps hear unwitting hints of Ultravox and the Outfield here, and while those elements might seem like the perfect recipe for something wretched, these guys make it work, coming off as catchy, polished and energetic without being vapid. Metro Station is not for everyone, but those who appreciate well-crafted synth-pop will find something to like.

Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for May 3, 2007
News from Iraq we don't hear much about: "A disturbing report tonight about who's really running things within Iraq's democratically-elected government. There may actually be a government behind the government in Baghdad, making the sectarian conflict, if possible, even worse. ARWA DAMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: …'not much is known about the office, but it is raising alarm bells from Baghdad all the way to Washington. It's called the Office of the Commander in Chief, set to be a shadowy entity created by Iraq's prime minister. Multiple U.S. military and intelligence sources say the office has the power to overrule other Iraqi government ministries and is being used as a smokescreen to hide "an extreme Shia agenda" that is worsening Iraq's sectarian divide. According to a U.S. intelligence source, the office is "... ensuring the emplacement of commanders it favors and can control." Specifically, removing from command or detaining Iraqi police and army officers perceived as too aggressive in cracking down on Shia militias. Allegations the government vigorously denies.'" Sounds like the Iraqi Prime Minister has taken a page right out of the Rove/Bush/Cheney play book on how to run a government, up to and including how to "frame a name" to conceal the real deal!!! Indeed, "the Office of the Commander in Chief" and "ensuring the emplacement of commanders it favors and can control" sounds all too familiar and would be outrageous if it weren't so tragically real!

Rory O'Connor: The Price of Press Freedom
by Rory O'Connor
Thursday is World Press Freedom Day, a day when all of us -- citizens, media professionals, governments, non-governmental organizations, and what has come to be known as "civil society" -- should remember and celebrate the crucial role a free press plays in democracy and development. Throughout the world, May 3 also serves as a much-needed annual reminder that our human right to freedom of expression is all too often violated -- and that many journalists face jail or even death to give us each day our daily news.

Reinout van Schie
This is the full version of the Juicy Jones music video "So Far From Home' including the prologue detailing a bit of goofy backstory. During its release the prologue was actually released separately, leading up to the release of the actual video, but this is how it was originally thought out, as one long video.
The video was filmed with a lot of help, more than any other project I worked on. Over a dozen of extras were hired for the day and local retro-styled clothing stores donated the clothes to style everyone so beautifully. But probably the most help we had during the shoot was of the sun. Incredibly it literally was the last real day of summer (we shot medio-september) and we didn't have such a bright and sunny day for weeks before or after.
As always I filmed with my Voigtlander attached on my GH2, stuck on an ND-Filter and gratuitously used shallow depth of field and light flares and refractions to really push for the sunny-summer-afternoon vibe. Filming everything in 50fps provided me with the slow motion to really dream it up and make the whole thing so smooth.
It's interesting to compare this video to my first Juicy Jones video 'I Wonder', vimeo.com/29219385
You'll see the difference in gear (I used an HMC-151 back then) but especially in style. Back then Juicy Jones was still a very young and forming group of musicians and the smooth disco-funk-pop style for which they are now known wasn't as clear back then. Thus the video was also far from the funky-happy-smooth vibe that we now aimed for with 'So Far From Home'.

Re: PSN account banned/sus
Welcome to the PlayStation Community for the US/NA.

Title says it all, I tried to log-in to my account a few days ago, but found out it was banned/suspended. I called up Sony customer care, but they were of no use, e-mailed Sony, but no replies yet (sent multiple mails). It's been approximately 94 hours now and I'm fed up with this, this is my first ban in 5 years, and the internet me hasn't changed a bit! Help please. I posted the same on EU forums, not much help.
Sony email support doesn't exist anymore so you won't get any replies back from the numerous emails you sent.
You should however receive an email (check your spam inbox too) from Sony to the email address registered with the PSN account explaining the reason & length of the ban/suspension, if it has already been longer than 72/94 houes (excluding weekends or holidays) then please call Sony for your country/region.
Please be advised that Sony does not take the decision to ban or suspened someone lightly, so even though you may think you did nothing wrong there's a very good chance you did!
Here's Sony's number for the USA.

Certainly no e-mail availble for North America.
What did you do to warrant a ban? Some are short, some longer and some permanent.

Re: PSN account banned/sus
I have no idea what I did to deserve this :/ I don't think it's a perma ban, because my account's still on my other account's list. The only thing I might've done wrong is been mean to a person, but that person was my friend, and it was all jokes! This one person came along and told me to stop, and we told her we're just messing about, but due to her limited understanding of English, she barely understood that, and went ahead and reported me. Other than that, can't think of anything. What sucks is that I pre-ordered Ghosts on the PS Store just a few days before being handed the ban. :/

Well, I do admit I was a bit off lately.. But even when I did swear, I covered it with asterisks. Other than that, I've never cheated, nor tried to jailbreak, and I bought psn cards to buy Ghosts. So I guess i was an a55, but the very least Sony could do is e-mail me so I don't repeat my actions again!
Trust me, they'll likely be a good reason, stop over-thinking it, if it's been longer than 72/96 hours (excluding weekends & holidays) then contact Sony using the number above.

I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
Thanks for the answer - I would readily admit that Confession is superior - but is there no forgiveness in personal repentance, ie. in my prayers at the end of the day or I've sinned and on the spot I repent. The book clearly states the answer is that I am not forgiven until I confess. This line in the book could be a problem with translation but as it stands that what the book states.
Presbyters were supposed to be as close to a bishop as strings to a lute. They had jobs like governing the people of God, leadership and helping the bishop. They were teachers, etc. but the bishop was the liturgics par excellence. There was a sort of council formed around the bishop called a synedrion, which now means conference. There was a court which led the people back into communion if they left. This is the first example of confession. After the 3rd century there is a change from this system.
I gave the book back to my priest, it was his, I'll skim through it after Liturgy and write it down.

STORAGE: Clindamycin topical preparations should be stored at room temperature, 20 C to 25 C (68 F to 77 F).
DOSING: A thin film of the lotion, and solution should be applied to affected areas every 12 hours. A thin film of the foam should be applied to the affected areas once daily. The gel may be applied once or twice daily depending on the brand. The swab is used to apply a thin layer of clindamycin film to the affected area twice daily. Each swab should be used once and then discarded.
- Clindamycin is an antibiotic used for treating several infections. It is effective against several types of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Propionibacterium acnes.
- It reduces growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to make proteins.
- The FDA approved clindamycin for topical (on the skin) use in July, 1980.

President Vic Ireland (who also headed up Working Designs back in the day) says they will bring over digital versions of Class of Heroes 2 (PSP) and Class of Heroes 2G (PS3) regardless, but the campaign would ensure that physical editions, specifically 'old school' (meaning with lots of goodies)-styled deluxe editions, can also be produced. The various tiers for pledges include, of course, copies of said deluxe editions, letters, plush toys, signed posters, your name in the credits, music boxes, pocket watches, and even trips to LA for a day at E3 2012 and a visit with the staff of MonkeyPaw and GaijinWorks. There is even a tier that will send you to Japan to meet the developer, and another that lets you be a character drawn in the game.
If all pans out, Ireland says they have an eye on other JRPG projects they'd like to try bringing over. They're looking at several titles across a number of platforms, but he couldn't name any quite yet.
Since the campaign begins tomorrow, we don't have a link yet, so stay tuned!

Quick GuideDiet and Weight Loss: Surprising Sources of Hidden Sugar
How do people successfully keep weight off?
Keeping weight off requires long-term changes. No matter how successful the diet, the weight will return if someone returns to his or her pre-diet eating habits. As mentioned above, a "no-diet" approach to healthy eating based on modification of dietary habits has a better chance of success than following a highly restrictive diet for a limited time.
What are the benefits of weight loss?
Being overweight is associated with a number of health risks and obesity (typically defined as having a body mass index, or BMI, over 30) is even more dangerous. Some of the health risks associated with overweight and obesity include the following:
- Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance: Insulin resistance means that the pancreas has to produce increasing amount of insulin to allow glucose to enter cells and be used for fuel. Because fat cells are more resistant to insulin than muscle cells, people who are overweight tend to produce more insulin to keep blood glucose levels stable. Once the pancreas can no longer keep up with this increasing demand, blood glucose levels rise, leading to type 2 diabetes.
- Cancers: Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers, including colon cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining), gallbladder cancer, and breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
- Heart attack and stroke
- Hypertension
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout
- Sleep apnea and other breathing problems, including an increased susceptibility to respiratory infection and asthma
- Heart failure
- Gallstones
- Stillbirth and hypertension of pregnancy
- Stress incontinence
- Increased risk of postsurgical infection and other complications of surgery
- Infertility
- Varicose veins
- Reflux esophagitis
Weight reduction and maintenance of a normal body weight can diminish many of these risks.

Lecturer, University of Aberdeen, 2013-
My research focuses on evolution under climate change, and evolutionary processes associated with geographic range limits. I am interested in how social and behavioral factors interact with changing ecological conditions to faciliate or hinder evolutionary change, and I am also investigating macroevolutionary/phylogenetic processes associated with geographic range shifts and habitat shifts. Finally, I am interested in the formation and maintenance of Mediterranean biomes.
Recent work focuses on niche evolution and population- and community-level processes associated with climate change and invasions. My current study systems include Scottish damselflies (Odonata), experimental evolution in seed beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus), and woodland arthropods across Great Britain.

My teaching philosophy at the undergraduate level is to encourage critical assessment of central topics during extensive interactive class discussions and in-class activities. Rather than rewarding recall or punctuality, I expect to reward students who broaden their understanding of course material with wider reading of the primary literature and applying critical thought to what they have read.
At the masters level, I believe strongly in learning while doing, and provide students opportunities to learn from the real challenges encountered during field work in the sometimes challenging but always spectacular conditions of Scotland's north coast.

Last summer the San Jose Sharks appeared to be bottom feeders.
They missed the playoffs after seven seasons of improved point totals. They said adios to key veterans like Owen Nolan, Teemu Selanne, Marcus Ragnarsson and Bryan Marchment. Coach Darryl Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi, the architects of the team's rise through the standings, were purged in favor of Ron Wilson behind the bench and longtime Shark official Doug Wilson as GM.
San Jose seemed like just another in a long line of top teams being torn apart for youth and money.
But when the puck dropped last fall, the Sharks quickly bubbled near the top of the Western Conference. They rode that high level of play to a record of 43-21-12-6, a club-record 104 points, the Pacific Division title and second place overall in the Western Conference.
San Jose kept rolling through two rounds before being edged in the Western finals by fellow upstart Calgary.
This summer, the Sharks continued their trend of a year ago, saying goodbye to free-agent centers Mike Ricci (to Phoenix), Vincent Damphousse (to Colorado) and Curtis Brown (to Chicago).
Doug Wilson discussed his team's stunning turnaround with ESPN.com:
ESPN.com: Please assess last season.
Wilson: "I think it was a good year. A lot of people were given new opportunities and stepped up. Credit the players and the coaching staff -- in Cleveland, too. It's our job to put people in the proper places and give them the proper instruction. I think it meshed nicely."
ESPN.com: Which players made the biggest strides? Alexander Korolyuk, for example, surprised a lot of people in the playoffs.
Wilson: " 'Korky' doesn't surprise me at all. And [Jonathan] Cheechoo really stepped up. And Rob Davison, Vesa Toskala and Miro Zalesak. We have high expectations for our players and they met them."
ESPN.com: Who needs to bounce back or take the next step?
Wilson: "It's hard to say. We had a pretty good year. I'd say just the guys who were injured, like [Marco] Sturm and [Milan] Michalek.
ESPN.com: Who in the system is ready for the NHL?
Wilson: "Maybe Marcel Goc or Christian Ehrhoff."
The two German players were taken in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft -- Goc, 21, in the first round (No. 20 overall), and Ehrhoff, 22, in the fourth round (No. 106). Goc, a center, made his NHL debut in last season's playoffs, scoring a goal against Colorado. Ehrhoff, a defenseman, appeared in 41 games and played in the YoungStars Game over NHL All-Star Weekend, scoring a goal for the West team.
ESPN.com: What is your top priority to improve the organization?
Wilson: "To continue where we left off: Being disappointed not to take the final step to the final round. And not let any comfort set in."
ESPN.com: What was your favorite moment last season?
Wilson: "There were too many of them. I enjoyed every day of the journey, to see our players grow and get to that level, to pick just one moment."
ESPN.com: And your least favorite?
Wilson: "Getting knocked out of the playoffs."
ESPN.com: What will take you furthest away from hockey this summer?
Wilson: "I moved three times in 12 months, and I have four teenagers. All I want to do is go home."

Detroit Lions news, rumors and injuries
Lions | Eric Ebron earns praise from Matt Stafford
Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:46:49 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron is more mature, according to QB Matthew Stafford. "He's a guy that wants to put the work in," Stafford said. "I'm expecting a lot of good things from him."
Fantasy Tip: Ebron is poised to take a big leap forward in his third season, and while the recent acquisition of WR Anquan Boldin could cut into a few of his targets, Ebron is still in line for a breakout campaign. He's a great target toward the end of drafts as a starting tight end, and there's upside for him to finish the year having provided a high-end return at the position.

Lions | Anquan Boldin contract update
Thu, 28 Jul 2016 11:54:55 -0700
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions WR Anquan Boldin signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions worth $2.75 million. The deal includes a $750,000 signing bonus.
Fantasy Tip: Boldin should have a solid role in the passing game this season and can be a late-round option in most fantasy leagues.

Lions | Ameer Abdullah making progress
Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:28:24 -0700
Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah (shoulder) is making progress in his recovery from a shoulder injury and should be ready to practice since he was not placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Fantasy Tip: Abdullah probably will be the starting running back for the Lions in 2016, but he will be sharing touches with several other running backs during the season. He should be considered a No. 3 running back at this point.

Lions | Anquan Boldin to move around
Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:19:41 -0700
Detroit Lions WR Anquan Boldin will initially see playing time as an outside receiver as well as a slot receiver, according to head coach Jim Caldwell.
Fantasy Tip: Boldin should have a decent role in the passing game for the Lions this season but will not be the focal point like he has been in the past. Owners in most leagues should consider Boldin as a late-round option in their drafts.

Lions | Anquan Boldin finalizing deal with Detroit
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:56:31 -0700
Free-agent WR Anquan Boldin (49ers) is finalizing a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions, according to sources.
Fantasy Tip: Entering his age-36 season and 14th campaign in the league, Boldin is clearly past his prime, but he's certainly not an afterthought in PPR settings or deep standard leagues. The veteran would add another sneaky pass catcher for the Lions, which stands to slightly cut into the fantasy value of Golden Tate, Eric Ebron and Marvin Jones, but likely help Matthew Stafford. View Boldin as a late-round option with a better floor than ceiling for the 2016 season.

Lions | Detroit working out Jimmy Clausen
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 04:40:47 -0700
The Detroit Lions will work out free-agent QB Jimmy Clausen (Ravens) on Monday, July 25.
Fantasy Tip: Lions general manager Bob Quinn is trying to sign veteran backup help rather than rely on untested talent, and Clausen would fit the bill in Detroit. He completed 57 percent of his passes last year in three starts with the Ravens and Chicago Bears. Still, his fantasy value is minimal and he should be considered no better than a "handcuff" pick for Stafford should Clausen make the roster. There are much better quarterbacks out there, however.

Lions | Jay Lee stood out in OTAs
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 20:50:55 -0700
Detroit Lions WR Jay Lee's size and physicality stood out during offseason workouts, and beat writer Kyle Meinke believes Lee's blocking ability will be a good complement for Detroit's short passing game and rushing attack.

Lions | Corey Fuller could be cut
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 20:36:17 -0700
Detroit Lions WR Corey Fuller's (foot) roster prospects are bleak, according to beat writer Kyle Meinke, because of his offseason foot surgery and the emergence WR T.J. Jones.
Comment () | Share: | Source: Mlive.com - Kyle Meinke
Lions | Ameer Abdullah avoids preseason PUP list
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:18:09 -0700
Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah (shoulder) did not appear on the team's physically unable to perform (PUP) list, suggesting he will be a full-go for training camp following offseason shoulder surgery.
Fantasy Tip: While most anticipated Abdullah would be ready to go, this is obviously a good sign for a back hoping to average more than the 10.5 touches he did as a rookie. The Lions' insistence on using Theo Riddick on passing downs and a big back like Zach Zenner or Stevan Ridley at the goal line certainly limits his value, so owners need to view him as a RB3 for now.

Lions | Corey Robinson also goes to IR
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 10:50:33 -0700
Detroit Lions OT Corey Robinson (ankle) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, July 24.

Lions | Two Lions placed on PUP list
Sun, 24 Jul 2016 10:48:48 -0700
Detroit Lions WR Corey Fuller (foot) and TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) were placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, July 24.
Fantasy Tip: Fuller and Pettigrew and both in backup roles for the Lions and can be left on waivers barring injuries to players ahead of them.

Lions | Taylor Decker works exclusively on left
Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:51:30 -0700
Detroit Lions OT Taylor Decker worked exclusively at left tackle in spring practices, pushing OT Riley Reiff to the right side. The team will get a better sense of what Decker can do when the team is in pads and he is working against DE Ziggy Ansah at full speed in training camp.

Lions | Is Jake Rudock future in Detroit?
Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:50:40 -0700
Detroit Lions QB Jake Rudock was drafted in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and he might be the future backup to QB Matthew Stafford with veteran QB Dan Orlovsky only signed through 2016. If Rudock sees second-team reps in training camp and the preseason, it might signal the team would prefer to keep Rudock and cut Orlovsky.
Comment () | Share: | Source: Detroit Free Press - Carlos Monarrez
Lions | Last year for Dan Orlovsky?
Sat, 23 Jul 2016 22:49:55 -0700
Detroit Lions QB Dan Orlovsky remains the backup seeing second-team reps in the spring, but he is only signed through 2016 and does not have a future in Detroit. The team drafted QB Jake Rudock in the sixth round and he looked competent in minicamp.

Lions | Cole Wick could start over Eric Ebron?
Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:41:25 -0700
Detroit Lions TE Cole Wick looked "spectacular" in offseason practices and could be in line to push TE Eric Ebron for a starting job if he can carry over that momentum into training camp, according to Detroit Free Press reporter Carlos Monarrez.
Fantasy Tip: A 6-6, 255-pound undrafted tight end from Incarnate Word, Wick reportedly wowed his teammates on a regular basis without pads this spring. Monarrez cautions that he is not predicting Ebron will lose his job, only that he could. A more likely scenario would be Wick showing enough as a blocker to make Brandon Pettigrew expendable. At any rate, Wick is highly unlikely to be a meaningful contributor this season and should only be the radar of dynasty league owners at the moment.

5 Items College Students Don't Need
There are plenty of ways to cut costs...thanks to technology. According to Yahoo, here are 5 ITEMS COLLEGE STUDENTS DON'T NEED:
1. Stop Buying New Textbooks: You can rent them online or from other sources, buy them used, or purchase digital copies.
2. An Expensive Laptop: Unless you're studying something in the IT field or a degree program that requires high-end software, you may not need a new computer at all. Your iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard may be enough.
3. A Printer: Buy a $20 flash drive and save the $100 for a printer and the ink and paper that go with it. You probably have free use of the campus computer lab...so store everything on your flash drive and print it for free.

You don't live in Union County, you are from Ellijay.
Have you met Lamar? Been to a county meeting? This isn't your song and dance, so what's your interest in Union County or are you just one of tmv's followers?
One day you just showed up on Blairsville topix but I've been reading Ellijay old posts and you were a regular tmv cheerleader after you lost everything and blamed it on the bank.
Sounds to me like you and tmv are in the same boat. One without a paddle.
Sorry, Mr. Marine, but I don't take to classes at my age but I do like my golfing.

No pity party here. I am a blessed man! I did lose everything but did not blame it on the bank just a little frustrated that the well paid bank employees got greedy, that their six figure salaries weren't enough and they had to break the law to get more, and in the process screwed a lot of people over.
Sorry you are so closed minded you can't learn anything new and use age as an excuse.
I like the Blairsville topix for a few reasons but mainly because some of the same things are being said here as they were right before those greedy bank employees were led off to prison.
That and you and Trollman wit and wisdom are a riot!
P.s Hope you golf better than you write.
#337 Feb 26, 2014
Its a sad thing, when you loose everything because of a conman, of course you were not the only one to get burnt and there was nothing you or the other people could do, to prevent it, however you did win to a small point with most of the bankers going to prison or to their grave.
Sad deal, i read about the one lady and her husband in Elijay or Blue ridge that lost everything they owned and he is doing labor work in FL and she is loosing her hair, I guess it would be to harsh for me to say the bankers should have been killed on way to police station but that is what I would like to have seen happen.
To this day i have money in two different banks, just for this reason and would never have a loan on anything I own.
Glad you recovered.
#339 Feb 26, 2014
Evidently most voters in Union county seem to like Lamar. They keep re-electing him. That says a lot. Maybe his haters should just give up and go home.
#340 Feb 26, 2014
..... OR, the majority of the Voters simply rely on the county newspaper for their information, and simply don't know any better.
Let me throw out a dare here.... you get the North Georgia News to run a front page story detailing the theft by Judy Spiva, and the coverup, and the fact she never paid back the stolen money.
Do you think the average citizen would be upset? Do you think they would re-elect Jeff Langley if they knew all the facts, and those facts were on the front page of the North Georgia News?
See.... it's simply a matter of slowly educating hte public. You can't expect outrage at what people don't know. I for one am quite cleat that this here Topix only reaches a small percentage of the county. But it is a start. And more is coming. Patience, consistency, repetition.
It's all the process of advertising the Truth.

OR, get theNorth Georgia News to publish the excerpts detailing over $17,000,000 in Material Weaknesses, Mis Statements, Accounting Discrepanices and Audit Adjustments that were found in the 2012 County Audit.
Imagie that on the front page. Do you think the voters might demand a few answers prior to rubber stamping a new election.
The North Georgia News had a copy of the News Report detailing the facts about the Audit. kenneth West / Charles Duncan MADE A DECISION to let their coverage consist of Lamar Paris addressing it in his Q&A, and his "paid advertisement" and they allowed it without one little peep of review or coverage or unbias comment.
Of course the voters are in the dark.
#343 Feb 27, 2014
Yep , all lies will eventually be caught . Lamar is one who thinks he can go on lying and not get caught , but ACOG has been catching him since he has been in the courthouse .
#344 Feb 27, 2014
Did Lamar refuse Acog's advances in the past? Nothing like a woman scorned. On the brighter note,Lamar is getting older so he might die of natural causes before they ever get him thrown out of office.
#346 Feb 28, 2014
I never voted for the splosh and since it did pass, my tax cost is the same no matter what they do with the money so I don't care.
This was the people choice that it passed, so fine, if they don't like how it was spent then next time they may vote it down.
The same goes for Lamar, I think he has done a great job and I will support him and it seems the majority of the people agree with me on this one.
#347 Feb 28, 2014
you did good this week jimmy. lamar has your pay check waiting for you, with a bonus for this one. good boy

Sparkling future ahead for Classic
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or at least that is what the Hong Kong Tennis Patrons Association (HKTPA) will be hoping after Indian diamond manufacturers JB Group breathed new life into the premier tournament in town - the former Women's Champions Challenge - by signing a three-year title sponsorship deal yesterday.
The withdrawal of long-term title sponsor Watsons Water this year placed organisers under severe financial stress to hold the event next year.
But the HKTPA has clinched a last-minute deal, and the tournament will now be known as the JB Group Classic 2008. It will be played from January 2-5 at Victoria Park.
'This is the first time that a major Indian corporation has come to the forefront of tennis sponsorship,' said HKTPA president Ian Wade. 'It is a bold move, which I'm sure will pay dividends. We are grateful to them.'
As revealed last week by the South China Morning Post, the 2008 tournament will be headlined by Russian glamour girl Maria Sharapova and reigning Wimbledon champion Venus Williams.
They will be joined by two other top-10 players, Serbian Ana Ivanovic and Russian Anna Chakvetadze.
China's Peng Shuai and Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki are two of the other players in the eight-strong line-up. The remaining two will be announced at a later date.
'This is the perfect opportunity to showcase our group,' said Jatin Chutke, JB Group's vice-president of corporate affairs.
'We will be celebrating 15 years of our presence in Hong Kong next year and it will be just perfect to back a big tennis event for the first time.'
With a turnover of US$3 billion last year, the Indians have deep pockets, and the HKTPA are breathing a huge sigh of relief that they didn't have to dip into their own reserves to hold the 2008 event.
'The deal was finalised just a few weeks ago,' Wade said. 'They have committed for three years, and perhaps it is a sign of the times that an Indian company has stepped in.'
Chutke added: 'When Terry Catton [tournament director] approached our chairman Bhupen Surani, he was attracted by the history of the HKTPA. It's an achievement to have promoted top-quality tennis events for more than 25 years.'

Hypotension and hypertension are chronic diseases, which can be effectively prevented and controlled by constantly monitoring. In this study, personalized healthcare comment service for hypertension patients is proposed and implemented. We have developed algorithms of health state code generation and doctor's comments for patients on case-by-case basis.
