Wow. That was intense.
That's all the more potent for its quiet intensity. I really wish there was a way to make people watch it...
I can't believe that big blowhard just made me cry...I only wish he'd taken the time to do this BEFORE the vote.
This is why I love Olbermann
That was incredible.
yup- Olbermann can seriously rock sometimes.
thank you. thank you. thank you.
Yeah, I watched this a while ago, and I can't stop watching it and linking it to people. My boyfriend said, "It's too bad his message is so amazing but it's not going to get to the people who need to hear it." I said, "True, but more and more messages like his are going to get out there, and this bullshit isn't going to continue for much longer."
yet again: slog needs to have one of those "share" buttons so that items can be posted on facebook or whatever.
Powerful indeed, but @3 I agree. If he cares so much, why didn't he say something before 11/4? Maybe he was worried that it would backfire? Maybe he figured that everyone who watches his show would already be on the 'No' side?
I really liked "What's it to you?" which is more or less exactly how I feel about it. It just burns me up that people can somehow feel that two *other* people getting married affects them.
wanna cry some more?
Wow. just... wow.
I'm tearing up right now.
I usually want to punch Olbermann in the face, but now I just want to hug him and sob into his shoulder. What a lovely man.
@11: Hey, thanks for the link. I'm really hoping the biopic actually shows in theaters around here when it comes out...
I occasionally hear mixed reviews of Olbermann, but this was pretty damn on the mark. I agree, "What's this to you?" is the bottom line here. Thanks for posting, Dan.
Thanks, but a day late and a dollar short. Ain't gonna be reamending the Constitution any time soon.
do you think there's a chance in hell my mormon parents would watch this if I sent them the link?
I still hate him and the media in general. Where was all this news coverage before the vote.
Prop 8 has nothing to do with love. It's about civil rights. Heteros don't have to love each other to get married.
It's decided: I have no soul. That just seemed like crazy over-the-top dramatizing from a frustrated soap actor.
@19 (tee-hee!)
@19: I second that, you have no soul, and are likely retarded.
I firmly believe that this is a country where we need to be saying "yes" to our people. I can always make a better decision for my life than the government can, and you know, I think there's a lot of Americans who would agree. Don't tell me I can't smoke weed. If you don't want to smoke weed, don't fucking smoke weed, but don't fucking tell me not to. Same with terminating a pregnancy. Or lighting a cigarette in my fucking bar. Or wearing a seat-belt. Or giving me the option of "pulling the plug" at the end of my life. Just let me do my thing and I'll let you do yours. This is Social Contract 101 - the government should only intervene to protect their citizens from harm.
For the record, my libertarian attitude extends to conservative issues as well. If you don't want to sell birth control at your drugstore or perform an abortion at your private practice, you shouldn't fucking have to. Somebody will. Fuck. Wallmart will. If you don't want your diabetic son to have insulin, because medicine conflicts with your religious beliefs, then so be it. If you want to have multiple wives, fine. I'll never have multiple wives, but what-fucking-ever.
You sure as shit can't do it in Iran. If not in America, where?
I don't get MSNBC and have never seen Mr Olbermann before, but, damn, that was some powerful stuff.
The question "What is this to you?" has me wondering again about the motivation for the involvement of the Mormon church.
How much of this could have been vengeful bitterness over the way they were forced to redefine marriage as they saw it in order for Utah to become a state? (I'm not suggesting it as a justification, I just figure it's easier to fight evil when you understand it's origins.)
Offer the Mormons a deal: polygamy for gay marriage.
It's too bad the people who would get the most out of watching that will probably never see it because they don't like who is saying it.
Wow; surprisingly good. I'd forgotten that Olbermann had this in him. I was about to say "nice to see him speak in a way that might reach people outside the echo chamber," but we're a few days late for that, aren't we?
More attempts to actually reach people and less self-indulgence, please, because this was pretty damn moving.
Offer the Mormons no deals. Until they accept homosexuals, we shouldn't accept them. Their religion is bullshit anyway. It's a bastardization of a bastardization of another religion that's based on nonsense, stolen from astrology astrology and fueled by fear and ignorance. They're so far gone, they're not even human anymore. Fuck 'em.
There's a lot of talk here about "What about all of this before the vote?" and the answer to this was that, at least here on SLOG, when Dan or others encouraged people in positions of power to speak up, they were shouted at by those who said the most important thing was to elect Obama and that gays for selfish bitches for trying to inject their divisive social agenda before this election. See here:
Now you know the result of that. Look, I'm happy Obama got elected, but all of you who told us to shut the fuck up about demanding to keep our rights helped Prop 8 pass. Kudos.
How come only 50% of San Francisco voted? Is it because the gays there were not inspired to vote for Obama? If only 50 percent of Seattle voted how would that of affected the last election in Washington?
I'd say "HEY! I didn't come out of Sarah Palin's ANYTHING!" but I didn't approve of that joke the first time around, so I guess I don't get the opportunity to use it now. Dammit.
I am writing from San Francisco, from a Catholic area that promoted and passed that legislation.
On another of these threads - I was raised in Alaska by my mother, a well educated woman who was the unofficial second wife of a Mormon - he was her boss and prevented her from getting raises and promotions for 15 years!
Why she didnt wake up until he tried to rape my 13 year old sister when he was drunk I don't know. she had to knock him out with the corner of the living room table. I think some people just don't see things for what they really are, they want to believe in love at all costs, and don't abide by common sense.
But I never thought marriage was any kind of answer. I don't believe sex is any thing but selfish. Sex is fun, but it draws us away from more important things - for example -real religion; knowing ourselves and living in the present and helping others.
But the point really is that the base of so called religious people were told that the law required that 1st graders would have to have gay marriage explained to them in school. As usual they used a lot of fear techniques and papered the houses twice with pamplets. They rallied the children to do this - I mean kids - in the streets with signs.
I felt terrible knowing that some of them are gay - they are protesting to fit in, and being taught there is something wrong with who they are - because some day they will realize what they did.
I also feel terrible about those kids who are getting behind hate - disguised as wanting to promote healthy psychology. I am seeking stuff I associate with Nazis. One woman told me her mother calls her to talk about all the people living on welfare and by the grace of the state.
So I asked her - would you hire that person pointing out one of the many homeless?? (There are lots of crazy just barely making it folks around in the downtown areas). She still thinks they somehow don't deserve to live. But spending on protecting the US through the military is just fine. She has not idea of the difference in amounts between military spending and human services.
In short education is in a shambles in California, and some of the people who control private religious education are a menace to society. The kids are not taught to examine on principles of human kindness, and compassion. It's icky in some parts of the Bay area, as unlikely as that seems. Facts are as disposable as people are - if you are uncomfortable with them.
Sorry statement above should be "seeing stuff I associate with Nazis" not 'seeking stuff'
this only furthers my crush on keith
Olbermann's way of putting it is pretty sensible, that in a world hard on lovers every struggling couple should darn well be free to try anything that sometimes helps people stick together.
That aside, the man clearly finds himself very moving.
From the heart to any heart, freedom to choose the chance that ember without others to stamp it out based on their own experiences and beliefs... (100% I agree, "What's this to you?").
It's too bad Olbermann wouldn't have voted no anyway - dude doesn't vote.
Let this be a lesson to all (SAVAGE included) about how to frame our argument forthcoming about gay marriage.
(To repeat, this argument is ALL ABOUT THE FRAMING.)
Notice Olbermann offered no name calling, no insults, no compartmentalizing (besides a small swipe at religion.)
(To change political course, politicians need to change culture.
To change culture, activists need to change social psychology.)
Notice how Olbermann went directly after the psychological element of gay marriage.
Again, frame frame frame.
Let us use this as a fine example of how to move forward.
*37 "Let this be a lesson to all (SAVAGE included) about how to frame our argument forthcoming about gay marriage."
Unfortunately the race baiting to which Savage contributed has probably done its damage. I guarantee you churches will use the racist incidents we've heard of to appeal to people of color in their next campaign.
Savage's blog entries on the topic of black homophobia, by casting black people as the primary villains in this mess, demonstrate that there are still important tenets of journalism that blogging doesn't always share. Namely: objectivity, thoughtfulness, investigation, critical thinking, skepticism, fairness and a sense of responsibility to a community of readers.
If you're doling out sex advice their absence doesn't matter. On the other hand if you're dealing with an incendiary topic...
Black Homophobia!!! The simple minded way he has framed the issue invites people to see black homophobia as in and of itself more reprehensible than homophobia from any other group.
The lame explanation that it is somehow ironic just shows how profoundly unaware he is.
@ 9, you do know you can just link to the YouTube video don't you? It's very simple.
"this isn't about yelling and this isn't about politics"
I appreciate the questioning of judgement for those who voted yes. This is a sacred issue and deserves to be treated as such.
I think I remember Dan actually saying he WASN'T blaming African Americans for the passage of 8 but that he was merely bringing to the forefront the apparently large percentage of CA African American voters who voted to pass 8. One just can't ignore the homophobia in certain communities across the US, especially well documented African American homophobia. This isn't placing blame or saying this is the ONLY homophobia in the nation. But it's part of the complicated picture we have to figure out as we move forward.
Personally, I'd be 'happy' seeing Olbermann lighting his hand on fire like that cooldude did in Miranda J's kool movie. Or if Miranda takes the plunge of MSNBCX and proselytizes passed its talking hed phase, right to scrriptwriting for Gameday futball "ANALYCYST?"
excuse the seemingingly off topic and Skirting ze medium is zee message
let's go to mklskga for the call:
(visualize, hmm not harry scarey or vin scully, but who was the AbC guy? Jim McKAY, yes , on an AM receiver)
-----there's olberman going deep, maddow takes the hike, savage is calling for a time out, the kicker is warming up....yada uaddy yadda........
oops, Happy Veterens Day - to all my fellowess veteranarianians OUT thar
@9. Just go to your Facebook profile, click "Share Link," and post the link there. Click "preview," then post. If you have the YouTube application, all the better. People can watch the video right there on their Facebooks.
@41. Correct. And then he said that it hurts gay African Americans even more than gay whites. But his intent got buried in everyone's offense at how he "framed" it. Which is a damn shame.
However! I think the discussion--as hard and angry as it is--has done some good. At least we're talking about it.
The ones who really knock my socks off are the ones who pose the rhetorical questions. How am I supposed to answer my daughter when she asks why those two men are holding hands? What am I supposed to say to my son when he wants to know how some kid in his class can have two moms?
These morons want to take away human rights from others so that they don't have to have a conversation with their kids! How fucked is that?
Did anyone else think that Keith was on the verge of tears during that?
(more inspired by @45 than a direct response):
I have some Idaho-living, home-schooling, old-testament-believing in-laws that showed me why OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN is hard for them. They see the entire world in very all-or-nothing terms... that is why they are drawn to fundamentalism. They honestly believe same-sex relationships are only about sex, no love there, just hot sweaty sex. They cannot see two men or two women together without thinking about sex, and how dirty and wrong that sex is, and how they are going to hell for that sex. It honestly has not occurred to these people that the sensible answer to "Mom, why are those men holding hands?" is "Because they are a couple, like your dad and me." Their brain gets stuck on ThoseGuysHaveButtsexAndAreGoingToHell!!!! leaving them to wonder, "why do i have to explain anal sex to my kids?"
I'm not excusing, just explaining what i have seen from these people.
I don't think Savage engaged in race-baiting or was particularly incendiary. If anything my reaction was "duh, Dan this is news to you?". Population groups that A) are highly religious and church-going and B) lower socio-economic and education levels do tend to be less likely to support gay-equality legislation. Not news. This group (AAs) is an anomoly in that they have so solidly voted Democratic since FDR, whereas many of those non-degree holding, church-going, socially conservative white people drifted Republican over the last 35 years.
I still want to see the statistics of black Californians broken down by education-level and age-bracket and I bet the figures aren't as out of whack. I highly doubt 7 out of 10 university-educated twentysomething or thirtysomething African-Americans voted for Prop 8.
Tiktok @24,
Fuck that. I got a different deal to offer the mormons:
You stay out of my civil rights, and I won't burn down your churches.
A superb example of appealing to the good, the right, the just.
I'm a Keith Olbermann fan and have been for over a year now. Yet, somehow, I had not been expecting him to do THIS - and was delighted he did.
Not that everyone in the world will see it, but he has a large audience and has set up the ripples to spread. I tend to only watch/read liberal media, but I've seen a LOT of outrage about Prop 8 passing. In the long run, it can only be good for us.
Even here in VA, where gays have NO rights, the messages will he heard. Eventually, they'll stick. It sux, but that's the way cultural change happens.
My one beef with the special comment was that Keith indicated he did not know any gay people. WTF? He WORKS with Rachel Maddow!
I don't think that Savage was particularly race baiting. I just think it's an ugly situation & the comments devolved quickly. The question I have is what of it? There was all this anger at the black community and people were saying stupid shit about black people.
You're gonna walk past 5, 10 white folks ONE OUT OF TWO of which voted for prop 8 see a black person and get pissed because there's a 70% chance he or she voted for prop 8?
I mean the differences between 49, 51 and 70 are all significant but if you're angry it certainly seems like there's sufficient justification to be angry at Californians in general and not just blacks.
@46, Ya, I did think that...right at the beginning when he turns to his left.
And yes, that was quite good.
Only 50% of San Franciscans voted because a huge chunk of them are NOT American citizens. Check the census for actual percentages. Apparently you haven't visited the city, or visited enough of the city because you would realize that "the gays" are not what makes up the majority of the population.

I don't want to debate the race-baiting because that only furthers the race-baiting which people from all over the country -- especially black people -- have identified as race-baiting (and I think they'd know), but I do want to chime in with the fact that Dan was so all over the board with his posts, either through design (to cover up his original intent) or carelessness (becuase even he wasn't sure what his intent ever was or maybe how to articulate it), that his position is thoroughly obscured at this point. The fact that people still disagree on his intent, I think, proves that last point, at least.
Meanwhile, yes, Olbermann's commentary is the single best piece on marriage equality I ever haver been exposed to in any medium. Part of why it is so is because it placed blame where it belongs: on EVERYBODY who voted Yes on Prop 8.
So get the word out to the people that need to hear it. No protests, no anger at the "other side". Do what worked for Obama. Do not be divisive.
Go to the churches in your neighborhood. Ask to meet with the pastor, one-on-one. Discuss this with him.
Bring a thumb drive with a copy of Olberman's video. Ask, politely, that the pastor, or priest, or whoever view it, at his or her convenience.
Write a letter. Include the YouTube link (or define the search terms that will pull it up). Meet with your childrens' teachers. Show it to them.
Protesting and shouting isn't going to do squat to convince anyone. Be reasonable and rational, and treat them the same way. But make contact, get them thinking. Get them to drop their immediate reaction. Get them to see beyond the issue of (as was eloquently said above) seeing marriage as only about sex. Get them to understand it's about love.
Get the message out. Spread Olberman's video everywhere.
It's no use linking discrimination against gays with discrimination against blacks because the religious people still think that being gay is a choice. Their problem with gay marriage is that a sinful person will choose to be gay and if a gay couple raises a kid, that kid is also more likely to choose to be gay. And god doesn't want that.
Stupid, yes, but that's what they believe. So tying it to racial or gender discrimination won't work with them. I know, I tried it yesterday.
It seems funny to me that now, after we lost, all the big guns are coming out. Arnie saying he thinks it's wrong. Well, Governator, where were you a week ago? Same with Olbermann.
All good and well that they can put their heads up now when there's no political danger. Woulda been nice if they'd spoken up before.
"I protect my right to be a Catholic by preserving your right to believe as a Jew, a Protestant, or non-believer, or as anything else you choose. We know that the price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that they might some day force theirs on us." -Mario Cuomo, 52nd Governor of New York (b. 1932)
i'd like to put emphasis on "anything else you choose".
You can use this website to see the contributors for and against Prop 8.
Decide which companies you would like to do business with... Also, you can decide which friends are "true friends".
Keith is dreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaamy!
"What is this to you" in its original, less terse form:
The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.
-John Stuart Mill
Thanks for the reminder! I was totally one of those people. And I still think it was more important to elect Obama. I still think that making gay rights a huge issue in this election cycle would have been shooting ourselves in the foot. Rock, meet hard place. Fuck. *sigh*
medium@55 -
The San Francisco turn out was 50% of REGISTERED VOTERS, not residents*. Western Los Angeles (incl Hollywood and Santa Monica) also had lower than expected turnout.
How many of that 50% that did turn out only voted for Obama and skipped the rest?(as always happens in presidential years)
Its not a big secret that unless they are motivated and campaigned, late day voters on the west coast skip voting if the presidential winner is obvious by 4-5pm. And the liberal progressive sides of initiatives and propositions usually lose, conservatives count on that. I'm surprised Washington's initiatives went progressive this time.
The Anti-8 campaign fell down on the basics of GetOutTheVote, even as it was talked about as a major strategy of Obama. Its unfair to criticize other groups for their votes when the most liberal, godless, gay-friendly, and yes GAY citizens don't even bother to vote for themselves.
*And many of the non-citizens working in SF live outside the city anyways.
Oh, hey: for those post-modern folks out there who don't have a TV or cable or whatever, you can podcast Mr. Dreamy every weeknight at http://podcast.msnbc.com/audio/podcast/MSNBC-COUNTDOWN-NETCAST-M4V.xml
I slap it on my iPod and watch it under the covers in bed, but maybe that's TMI.
@ 51: No, what he said was that he didn't have any friends or coworkers who have struggled because of their sexual orientation. Rachel lives in MA, where she could get married if she wanted to.
Wow. That was amazing. I see now why my mom loves Keith olbermann so much. He puts into words what so many of us are feeling but are unable to express so eloquently. Thank you, Keith. And thank you Dan for posting that. I don't have TV, so I appreciate all the important clips that are posted on Slog.
#10 Maybe he didn't think that Proposition 8 would pass in California.
god, this was KO at his best...just amazing. and timing albeit hindsight, his words still carry truth, justice and are very necessary.
but this is a civil rights issue! let us not forget this cannot be said enough and everybody must know that if someone or anybody cannot get married, then that is wrong.
# 52. That is essentially my point. Why begin a discussion with the headline "BLACK HOMOPHOBIA" then spew some angry ill informed diatribe? That's the framing problem the previous poster was talking about. What difference does it make that Black people MIGHT have voted in greater numbers than others? ALL ethnic groups voted for prop 8 by way too great a margin. No he didn't blame people for prop 8 passing. But you would not be stupid to draw that conclusion from the way he framed his discussion.
It's the speed and ease with which Savage identified the black culprit on the basis of limited and suspect data that constitutes race baiting. It's mindless discourse that inflames resentment and does nothing to accurately identify or solve the problem. There are so many identifying characteristics of the typical yes on 8 voter -- religious belief, income, ethnicity, geographic location, education level, travel experience, exposure to gay friends, age and on and on. Why not group people of color into one mass and say people of color voted for prop 8 by such and such a margin? There are all kinds of ways to slice the data. What is the motivation that leads one to single out Black? The choice speaks of bias.
And this has been already said: He seems clueless about the world outside the white precincts of his leafy green Seattle niche. The black community's homophobia rooted in resentment of emasculation of black men is old as dirt, ugly and complicated. Every culture has some outdated useless neurotic mythology you can pick on. Why aren't we sorting through everybody else's shit with the nastiness and venom we reserve for black people?
#48. It would be interesting to see those numbers. The black cultural elite (I know, a corny turn of phrase)is probably just as elitist as every other elite. Yippe!
As importantly, why isn't he looking into the larger sample that showed different black voting behavior? Why didn't he ask questions about why the pre election polls showed no ethnic group polling much above 50% for prop 8 (Bradley effect? Perhaps. Intensification of targeting of black evangelicals. Of course.)
As a friend of mine says the "what" and "who" questions are a fraction of understanding. Its the "why" and "how" that tell the real story. And Savage is absolutely not equipped to address them.
above i meant to say
"No he didn't blame black people for prop 8 passing. But you would not be stupid to draw that conclusion from the way he framed his discussion."
Elf @67...
Thank you; you're right. Guess I 'mis-heard'.
TVDinner, if you're a guy, can I watch Countdown with ya sometime?

The BBC has big plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. We already know the upcoming seventh season will see the departure of Amy and Rory, the introduction of new companion and a battle with the Daleks, but that's not all: A 90-minute television movie is also in the works.
Called An Adventure in Space and Time, the docudrama will tell the story of Doctor Who from its first broadcast in 1963, and examine how the original Doctor William Hartnell made the transition from playing tough-guy roles to portraying what writer Mark Gatiss describes as "a hero to millions of children."
"I've wanted to tell this story this for more years than I can remember!" Gatiss, who co-created Sherlock with Steven Moffat, said in a press release. "To make it happen for Doctor Who's 50th birthday is quite simply a dream come true."
The BBC took the same docudrama approach in 2010 with The Road to Coronation Street, which examined the birth of popular soap opera five decades earlier.
"The story of Doctor Who is the story of television," said Moffat, who's executive producing the project, "so it's fitting in the anniversary year that we make our most important journey back in time to see how the TARDIS was launched."
Production and casting details will be announced next year.
Excellent chap, the Doctor…all of them.
i wonder if they'd have the balls to use the actor they cast as William Hartnell as a stand-in First Doctor for a multi-Doctor anniversary episode.
I think he died, actually. I thought he did a pretty decent job, given the circumstances.

Buyers want it all nowadays – sporty looks with rock bottom running costs, which is why factory-fit styling kits are becoming crucial for maximising profits. The BMW 1 Series is offered in M Sport trim, the Audi A3 is available as an S line and now Volvo has applied its R-Design treatment to the V40 range - and it expects 25 per cent of customers to take the bait.
In the past, the problem with sporty trim levels like this was that if you wanted the big wheels and bodykit, you got the backbreaking sports suspension as standard, but Volvo has sidestepped this mistake. You can order a sports chassis, which uses firmer spring and dampers and lowers the suspension by 10mm, but it's a £540 option.
What you do get for £2,300 more than the ES model on which it's based (or £4,050 for the R-Design Lux, which also adds xenon headlights, full leather seats, cruise control and keyless start) is an exterior design pack that includes a silk metal finish around the grille, the diffuser and on the wing mirrors. There's also a lower front bumper with vertical LED running lights, 17-inch wheels and the option of Rebel Blue paint for £275.
Inside, there's part-leather, part-suede sports seats embossed with the R-Design logo as standard, which are actually better-looking and grippier than the full-leather seats in our R-Design Lux test car. The rear seats are more sculpted, too, although there's still space for three back there if needs be. Another R-Design logo is applied to the steering wheel while an aluminium-effect stripe runs down the centre console. Add in the floating centre-console and illuminated glass gear lever, and it's a masterclass in tasteful Scandinavian design.
Every engine is offered as an R-Design model, right up to the 250bhp five-cylinder T5. The engine we drove though is by far the biggest seller - the 113bhp 1.6-litre D2, which accounts for a staggering 62 per cent of total V40 sales. With fuel economy of 78.5mpg and emissions of 94g/km, it's a massive hit with fleet buyers - so if R-Design kits are all about bringing sporty design to the masses, this is the model that defines the brand.
Our D2 test car wasn't fitted with the lowered sports suspension, but we did sample it in another model and were impressed by the results. You feel slightly closer to the road and the improved body control in a series of tight B-road turns is appreciable. It doesn't ruin the ride either, although we suspect it would be a different story on the optional 18-inch wheels.
The standard chassis is still more than capable, though, and the D2 does itself proud. Getting up to speed is a bit of a struggle, but once up to cruising velocity the smooth in-gear acceleration is adequate. Compared to a BMW 1 Series it feels like the steering, clutch, brakes and throttle have been wrapped in cotton wool, detaching you from the experience, but Volvos have always been a more grown-up choice – forcing you to drive in a relaxed way.
Price is crucial though in this massively competitive segment, and the V40 fares well - costing around £550 less than the BMW 116d M Sport. But be careful as our test car was fitted with a host of options, including an electric drivers seat (£600), lane departure warning (£700) and a park assist system (£850), which took the total price to a less-palatable £27,820.

Content in both versions of site is the same as English an Kazakh versions, but, off course, in different languages (thanslation posted manually).
Plugins, that i find can add 'en' after full URL. It's not good for me. Can i do this without creating two installations of WP (one in the root, and copy in '/en/' folder? Can I administer both versions using one interface?

CHICAGO -- When a reporter began to recite the list of players Ohio State's football team will have to replace this season -- stars such as Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez -- Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel cut him off.
"You mention all those names and they're gone," Tressel said. "It makes me feel bad."
The defending Big Ten champion won't be the only team from the conference searching for an identity this season. Michigan, the 2006 Big Ten runner-up, must replace seven starters on defense, including All-American tackle Alan Branch and cornerback Leon Hall. Wisconsin must replace quarterback John Stocco, and Penn State must find replacements for leading rusher Tony Hunt and linebacker Paul Posluszny.
Three other Big Ten teams figure to endure even more difficult transitions. Indiana, Michigan State and Minnesota have new coaches. The Hoosiers promoted assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Bill Lynch to succeed Terry Hoeppner, who died June 19 after an 18-month battle with a brain tumor. The Spartans hired Cincinnati's Mark Dantonio to replace John L. Smith, who was fired, and the Gophers hired former NFL assistant Tim Brewster to succeed Glen Mason, who was ousted after 10 seasons.
Uncertainty also extended to the Big Ten's most high-profile teams at the end of the 2006 season. Ohio State and Michigan flopped in bowl games, raising questions about the league's overall strength.
Those factors, combined with the questions about expansion and scheduling, seem to place the Big Ten at a crossroads in 2007.
But Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said his league is stronger than ever.
"The Big Ten intercollegiate athletics are in a very healthy state, in particular, the sport of football," Delany said. "We've had teams not only compete on the national basis, as we've had two teams win a national championship in the past 10 years and competing for several more, but also within the conference. We've had eight different champions or co-champions in the past decade."
However, the 2006 postseason was one to forget for the Big Ten. Ohio State was pummeled by 27 points by Florida in the BCS Championship Game. Michigan, which was ranked No. 2 in the country for much of last season, lost to USC by two touchdowns in the Rose Bowl.
While Wisconsin finished 12-1 in coach Bret Bielema's first year, beating Arkansas 17-14 in the Capital One Bowl to end the season, the rest of the Big Ten was largely mediocre or worse in 2006.
Penn State finished 9-4 after replacing many starters from a team that lost only one game in 2005. Iowa finished with a losing record for the first time in six seasons, and Purdue lost at least five games for the third season in a row.
All told, six of the league's 11 teams finished the 2006 season with losing records. And its bad teams have been really, really bad. Illinois has lost 30 of its past 32 conference games and hasn't won more than one Big Ten game in a season since 2002. Indiana has lost 26 of its past 32 Big Ten games.
So when the Buckeyes and Wolverines were beaten so soundly in bowl games, the overall strength of the Big Ten was immediately scrutinized. Were Michigan and Ohio State really that good? Or did those teams simply pad their records against soft conference schedules?
"You feel a little bit like you let down the rest of the conference," Tressel said.
So much so that during the offseason, the Big Ten examined the way it finishes the regular season. Did the long layoffs contribute to another poor postseason showing? The conference has produced one winning bowl season since 1999, going 20-27 in postseason games the past seven seasons combined.
Ohio State was beaten 41-14 by the Gators after a 51-day layoff. Michigan lost to USC 32-18 after waiting 44 days to play. The Big Ten regular season ended Nov. 18 last season, two weeks earlier than most other leagues.
This spring, Big Ten coaches discussed adding a bye week to the schedule to extend the regular season, thus eliminating the long layoff between the regular-season finale and bowl games. But coaches voted against it because they didn't want their teams playing beyond Thanksgiving Day.
Delany also squashed any thoughts about expanding the Big Ten to 12 teams, which would enable the league to stage a conference championship game, like the ACC, Big 12, SEC and other conferences do.
"This shouldn't surprise anybody," Delany said. "We're not looking for a championship game. If we were looking for a championship game, we would have had one 15 years ago. We're looking for a stronger conference, a conference that works better for all 11 members. Our goal from our 11 institutions is how can we get better."
Don't tell Delany the league should start by recruiting better athletes. When a Chicago Sun-Times reporter suggested Big Ten teams couldn't compete with SEC teams because they weren't recruiting the best athletes, Delany defended his league's schools -- and seemed to criticize some SEC schools' academic standards.
"I love speed and the SEC has great speed, especially on the defensive line, but there are appropriate balances when mixing academics and athletics," Delany wrote in an open letter to Big Ten fans, which was published on the league's Web site Feb. 9.
"Each school, as well as each conference, simply must do what fits their mission regardless of what a recruiting service recommends. I wish we had six teams among the top 10 recruiting classes every year, but winning our way requires some discipline and restraint with the recruitment process. Not every athlete fits athletically, academically or socially at every university. Fortunately, we have been able to balance our athletic and academic mission so that we can compete successfully and keep faith with our academic standards."
Before criticizing the SEC, Delany pointed out the Big Ten's recent success against the league: a 2-1 record against SEC teams in bowl games last season; an 8-6 record against SEC teams in bowl games the last five years; and 15 BCS berths to the SEC's 13. Delany also noted that Big Ten teams have produced five Heisman Trophy winners in the past 15 years, compared to the SEC's one.
Tressel said Ohio State's bad loss to the Gators wasn't a result of the Buckeyes' being slower.
"I think they were both pretty fast," Tressel said. "There's no question Florida was a fast team, and Ohio State was a fast team. The first play of the game [Ginn's 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown], it looked like we had the fastest guy in the world."
Illinois coach Ron Zook, who coached at Florida for three seasons, said Big Ten teams are well-equipped to beat their SEC counterparts.
"In my mind, there isn't any difference," Zook said. "We have every bit the speed that they do. In my mind, there is no question that this league can compete against anyone in the country."
It's time for Big Ten teams to start doing it.

Question: As a new and first time home owner, I'm a little nervous about what the cold weather is going to do to my electric bill. Short of turning the heat way down and freezing out my family, what can I do?
Marilyn Ford, who serves as chairwoman of the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce, also now is active in the chamber at the state level.
A group of local manufacturing leaders and representatives from the Elizabethtown-Hardin County Industrial Foundation gathered Friday as Elizabethtown Mayor Edna Berger and Hardin County Judge-Executive Harry Berry signed proclamations designating October as Manufacturing Month in the city and the county.
There is no doubt manufacturing is one of our most critical industry sectors. Last year, manufacturing supported one in six private-sector jobs in America, and it is our state's top economic driver, representing 17 percent of Kentucky's GDP.
Question: I am retiring from my company and I have both pre-tax and after-tax funds in my 401(k). What are my options?
A new, pink hippo will allow a local business to compete with national companies.
The hippo — but mostly the truck it's painted on — will allow Brenco Document Shredding to shred paper three times faster than previously and without ever touching the documents.
The Hardin County Chamber of Commerce announced the hiring of longtime Hardin County resident Sarah Hart as its relationship manager.
In addition to meeting with current members, Hart also will visit with area businesses that are not members and share information about how the chamber can help them network, promote, develop and advocate.
Nonprofit organizations from Hardin and surrounding counties practiced storytelling skills in a seminar Wednesday morning through emotions, gestures and paper folding.
Question: After data breaches at major retailers, I'm nervous. Should we just start going back to using good old fashioned cash?
A Fairfield Inn by Marriott could begin construction this fall in Radcliff, bringing in 365 short-term jobs and 20 to 25 permanent ones.
The $8.5 million hotel, which would sit in the intersection of East Lincoln Trail and Dixie boulevards, was announced in February but its national brand affiliation only was recently confirmed.

Mommy makeover is a sophisticated treatment that can be customized to reflect the unique aesthetic needs of each patient.

Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been one of the most unheralded, unnoticed players all season.
That changed Wednesday night.
Beating the No. 3 team in the nation -- on national television -- will do that. And so it begins -- Bridgewater is not just a Heisman candidate, but one of the Heisman front-runners heading into 2013.
"He is one of the best quarterbacks. He's one of the best players in the country," Louisville coach Charlie Strong said after the Cardinals beat Florida 33-23 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. "If you look out there on that field tonight, you look at what Florida has, you look at what we have, he's the best, probably. Not probably, he was the best player on the field."
We have seen Bridgewater carve up defenses this season. But many dismissed his performances because they came against Big East competition. Some wondered who exactly did he beat this year? There is a definitive answer now.
The No. 5 defense in the nation, that's who.
Bridgewater finished 20-of-32 for 266 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He threw passes into tight seams. He threw passes with accuracy, with zip -- showing everybody he will be playing on Sundays. Luckily for Louisville, Bridgewater has at least one more season left with the Cardinals. And that one could turn into a huge one, considering how much of a bump he is going to get off his game.
"I wouldn't be in this situation right now and this predicament without my teammates," Bridgewater said after the game. "Right now I'm just enjoying this moment. The Heisman campaign may start, but right now I'm just enjoying this moment."
There are some who may dismiss his candidacy simply because he plays against the Big East. In response, I will tell you that did not stop people from voting for Larry Fitzgerald (runner-up, 2003). While the Big East will be a vastly different league in 2013 than it was in 2003, Bridgewater showed Wednesday night that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation.
It just took a big game against a big team on a big stage to get everybody else to notice.
"I've been saying it all year: He's one of the best quarterbacks and best player in the nation," Louisville safety Calvin Pryor said. "They look at Louisville, don't give us any credit, but he's one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. I think he deserves that."

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
Zachary Gordon stars in the third film in the family comedy franchise, based on Jeff Kinney's hit pre-teen novels.
On Film4: 31 Jul 1:00PM
Mitsuteru Yokoyama's mecha manga gets its first live-action outing, as the wartime Iron Giant is resurrected to save modern-day Tokyo from the mighty Black Ox robot
Mitsuteru Yokoyama's serial comic 'Tetsujin Nijuhachi-Go' (or 'Tetsujin 28'), first published in 1956, told the story of a giant iron robot, built as a weapon of mass destruction at the end of WWII, but now controlled by its creator's young son Shotaro Kaneda to fight crime. The manga not only traced Japan's shift from imperial militarism to a more technology-driven economy, but also single-handedly spawned a new genre, 'mecha'.
Since then, Tetsujin 28 has rampaged in four popular cartoon series for Japanese television (in 1963, 1980, 1992 and 2004), and been successfully repackaged as 'Gigantor' for American viewers - but it was not until Tetsujin's 50th anniversary that he would first appear in a live-action feature.
All of which is to say that Tetsujin 28: The Movie comes in the wake of a rich robotic legacy in the popular Japanese imagination - but even without so many revered antecedents, Shin Togashi's film would still be considered a bomb, as soulless, cumbersome and plodding as the humanoid hunk of metal that gives it its title.
Let's start with the big robots. Both Tetsujin 28 and its destructive rival Black Ox have been beautifully rendered in CGI to have a solid presence and sleek reflective surfaces - and certainly the event which triggers the film's action, Black Ox's solo onslaught on the Tokyo Tower, holds out some promise of impressive pandemonium to come. But thereafter the colossal antagonists put in surprisingly little screen time - and when they do, their duels invariably involve them stiffly facing off and VERY slowly pounding one another's chests with their fists. Perhaps it constitutes a realistic depiction of how tin radio-controlled hulks would fight, but it is also deeply boring to watch - and giant robot movies have never had much to do with realism.
The absence of much mechanical mayhem means that Tetsujin 28: The Movie is left to be a character-driven film - but there is also little sign of character (and absolutely no drama) to be found in the range of cardboard cut-outs, 'wacky' stereotypes and gurning ciphers on offer here.
At the film's centre is 12-year-old Shotaro (Ikematsu), now the grandson rather than son of Tetsujin's original wartime inventor in keeping with an unnecessarily updated Noughties setting. Unlike the cocky, resourceful hero of the original comic-book and TV series, this new Shotaro is a spineless, whining mama's boy, whose every second line is a gormless "what?", and whose intensely irritating behaviour will have viewers wondering why the salvation of Tokyo, nay of the world, keeps being entrusted to such a sniveling no-hoper. Surely in the land that brought us Atari, Nintendo and Playstation, it would be possible to find someone more competent with the joystick that controls Tetsujin's movements?
Meanwhile Yu (All About Lily Chou-Chou) Aoi plays Mami Tachibana, supposedly "a first-rate brain from the IT and robotics department at MIT" - yet she still sees fit to dress in what looks like a Girl Guide's uniform, and comes up with the genius idea of building into Tetsujin 28's remote control mechanism a device that makes the operator experience physical pain whenever the robot is punched.
It is the kind of nonsensical detail (with mildly agonising consequences for Shotaro in the climactic showdown) that might go unnoticed in a more engaging film, but Tetsujin 28: The Movie just cannot help clobbering the viewer with its flaws.
The Frankenstein-like themes and moral complexity that made Mitsuteru Yokoyama's original so compelling are here left entirely undeveloped. What remains is one long, long missed opportunity. Yashuhiro Imagawa's wonderful 26-part 'Tetsujin' TV anime from 2004 proved that this peculiarly modern myth still has legs, but Shin Togashi's film merely limps along, and is unlikely even to divert the very young, let alone the rest of the family.
As lumbering as an old iron rust bucket, this joyless live-action exercise takes a pounding from its earlier, superior animated versions.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Showing results 41-71 of 71
AMC has released two photos from the second season of the hit zombie series "The Walking Dead." Created by Robert Kirkman and adapted for television by Frank Darabont, season two is slated to debut in the fall.
Cast and Crew of AMC's "The Walking Dead" assembled at the 28th Annual William S. Paley Television Festival on Friday to tease aspects of the upcoming second season and their first zombie encounters.
In this exclusive featurette clip from Anchor Bay's upcoming Blu-ray release of "The Walking Dead," the cast and crew of the show discuss how the comic book was often used as a storyboard for the hit AMC series.
AMC is teaming with McFarlane Toys to produce a line of action figures based on characters from "The Walking Dead," the acclaimed TV series adapted from the comic of the same name.
CBR News talks further with creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman about the difficulties of killing television characters, rumors of behind-the-scenes problems and his own future with "The Walking Dead."
Comic book creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman spoke with CBR about his hit television series, the exhausting promotion process and deviations the show has taken from the original source material.
With its fifth episode, the AMC adaptation of Robert Kirkman and company's Image comic earns its highest ratings yet, bucking trends and possibly expectations to make "The Walking Dead" the hit of the year.
With its fourth episode, AMC's adaptation of "The Walking Dead" showed a slight decline in overall numbers, but the show continues its stellar showing in a crowded cable landscape.
With its third episode, AMC's adaptation of "The Walking Dead" showed a dramatic ratings boost, pointing the way towards a very favorable reception for Robert Kirkman and company's stories on the small screen.
This weekâs episode of "The Walking Dead" delivers much of the emotional punch of the premiere as Rick reunites with his family, Lori grapples with guilt and Daryl Dixon learns what happened to his brother Merle.
Riding a wave of buzz from its U.S. debut, the AMC adaptation of Robert Kirkman and company's Image comic broke records for international audiences and has already been given a 13-episode second season.
For those who missed the beginning of the zombie apocalypse on Halloween, AMC is streaming the first episode of "The Walking Dead" in its entirety for a limited time. SPINOFF has the video and details.
With 5.3 million viewers, the AMC adaptation of Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard's zombie epic netted the biggest audience in the network's history and the biggest cable debut of the year.
With the AMC television series debuting this weekend, CBR wants to make sure you're up to date with all of our "Walking Dead" coverage, so click here to shamble along with all of our interviews, previews and reviews!
SPINOFF reviews the pilot episode of "The Walking Dead," calling the series premiere a success thanks to brilliant performances from Andrew Lincoln and Lennie James, not to mention Greg Nicotero's zombie effects.
Cast, crew and the undead converged in Hollywood for the premiere of AMC's "The Walking Dead," where the series creator was in attendance, stars lined up for photos and zombies lumbered down the red carpet.
On Tuesday, zombie hordes struck a number of the world's most iconic and famous landmarks. In Boston, Massachusetts, not even Rick Grimes himself could save the Washington Monument from the shambling undead.
CBR News spoke with "The Walking Dead" actors Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) and Jon Bernthal (Shane) about their time spent surviving the upcoming AMC zombie series.
The first episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead" lays the groundwork for a show more about the horror of survival than the horror of zombie hordes, though it certainly offers that in a moody, thoughtful series opener.
CBR News spoke with "The Walking Dead" producer Gale Anne Hurd about bringing the zombie apocalypse to life, what drew her to Robert Kirkman's source material in the first place and AMC's support of guts and gore.

Inland Shrimp, a current client of the Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic, tied for first in the short-pitch round of the Fish 2.0 business plan competition held recently at Stanford University. 3Ls Alyson Letsky and David N. Sutton are providing legal […]
Some students always envision attending law school. They work tirelessly as undergraduates to build up their GPAs and study endlessly for that daunting LSAT, eventually celebrating their acceptance into law school. For 3L Carolyn Cole, the path wasn't so straightforward.
Check out this month's issue of Cosmopolitan to see Moritz College of Law student Jenna Grassbaugh featured in the magazine's story on women veterans. In the article, the 29-year-old shared her background on joining the military, including how she met Capt. Jonathan D.Grassbaugh, who she married in 2006. He was killed in action in April 2007, but his legacy thrives at Moritz.
Alex Kennedy knew she wanted to work in business, but it wasn't until she had already launched a professional career that she realized business law was for her. After spending time at Goldman Sachs in London and working for a nonprofit in Africa, she settled on Moritz and is now the editor-in-chief of the Ohio State Entrepreneurial Business Law Journal.
A handmade poster, embellished with glitter-crafted flowers and a note in Spanish, hung on one of office walls that surrounded Cristina Nieves this summer. While the wall décor brightened up the room, it also served as a reminder of the dark road taken by the woman who fashioned the thank-you gift for the 3L.
"My expectations are that we have a lot of really great resources and a lot of support from the faculty. We have a lot of competent and motivated student body senators. We have the talent, and we have the resources to do some great things. That's already starting to take some action, and I'm really excited for the rest of the year."
"In the first 10 days, eight students have assumed responsibility for a dozen current clinic clients and have accepted five new clients. Six students already have already appeared in court," reported Kimberly Jordan, director of the Justice for Children Program.
When the United States Supreme Court ruled on Shelby County v. Holder on June 25, the decision affected more than the voting rights of multiple jurisdictions in the U.S. It also shifted most of the summer interns' caseloads at the Campaign Legal Center in Washington, D.C.
Every summer, women studying at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law have the opportunity to attend the weeklong NEW Leadership Institute, which aims to energize women and encourage their involvement in leadership and politics.
Flipping through more than 350 pages of decisions and listening to more than a day's worth of testimonies as part of an internship could be dreary for some law students. But for 3L Emily Dunlap, the paper cuts and courtroom jargon deepened her "obsession" with immigration law.
Sean Wright '13 won the ABA Environmental Justice Essay Competition with his essay Good Fences Make Good Neighbors: An Environmental Justice Framework to Protect Beyond Reservation Borders.
Thousands of Ohio veterans and military service members need legal services each year. They return home from tours of duty only to face seemingly insurmountable challenges – foreclosures, mushrooming problems with debt, issues with litigious landlords, and more.

No figure in the Christian pantheon except Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist has inspired, provoked, or confounded the imagination of painters more than the Magdalene.
The claims, speculations, and traditions that have been "hung" on Mary Magdalene often resemble in thickness and length the locks of hair that cover her body like a raccoon coat in certain medieval and early Renaissance representations. It has been said that she was once a rich woman. It has been said that she was a prostitute. It has been said that she is the same person as Mary of Bethany, that she bathed the feet of Jesus with her tears and perfumed him with ointment, that she was married to Jesus. It has been said that she was the bride of John the Evangelist at the wedding in Cana and became so jealous when her groom ran off to follow Jesus that she became a whore. It has been said that she went to Marseilles in a boat and converted the French, that she lived in a cave for thirty years and was lifted to heaven by angels seven times a day. Where beneath all the heavy and patched-up lining is Mary Magdalene? To try to "uncover" her would be rude and impossible, but it may be possible, after all that has been said, to recover, with the help of Scripture and artists, a credible human being without so many of the dubious trappings.
She is identified by name eight times in the Gospels. Three evangelists name her as having been present at the Crucifixion (Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40;...

We used udon noodles, Swansons Thai Ginger broth and less to no ginger based on personal preference
Spicy Tofu Hotpot
From EatingWell: September/October 1996, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)
Warm up a chilly evening with this light but satisfying one-pot meal. The tofu absorbs the flavors of this fragrant, spicy broth, making it anything but bland. Look for fresh Chinese-style noodles in the refrigerated case of your supermarket alongside wonton wrappers.
10 Reviews for Spicy Tofu Hotpot
I used soba noodles. Tasted like ramen but way better for you
This is my new favorite recipe. I cut the amount of soy sauce down to 2 Tbsp. I found it waaaay too salty with a 1/4 cup. Our grocery store has been out of shitakes for awhile, so the last couple times I made this soup, I substituted cremini mushroom, and it worked out beautifully.
We tripled the recipe. We added additional mushrooms, a few carrots, half a cabbage, and a splash of fish sauce.
The fish sauce was a nice addition. My husband loved the soup tofu and all. This soup would be great with shrimp, steak, or chicken. This is a keeper.
Brothy! Used Chinese egg noodles they kinds look like spaghetti noodles but texture of like Campbell's chicken noodles.Added Siracha instead of sweet chili sauce. Lots of bok and mushrooms. It was full of flavor and soothing on this cold day.filling as well.

How Do Muscles Work?
What Are Muscles Made Of?
are the contractile tissue of the body, and produce all movement, and
circulation in the body. One muscle fibre is a cell and is composed of
a number of thick and thin filaments. The thick filaments are made of
a protein known as myosin and the thin filaments of a protein called
actin. These are arranged to form a three dimensional cylindrical
structure, the fibre. This arrangement has units along it length known
as sarcomeres and it is the sarcomere that is the contractile unit of
the muscle cell or fibre. Within them, are supporting structures to
generate energy, the mitochondria and some fuel stores. There is also a
network of channels within the muscle to transmit signals from the
surface throughout the muscle (the sarcoplasmic reticulum). Individual
cells are linked together by fibrous tissue, the fascia and tendons to
join muscle to bones. Muscles are rich in arteries and veins to carry
fuel and oxygen to the muscles and veins to carry waste products and
carbon dioxide away. Muscles are the meat which we eat, and the red
colour is due to another iron rich protein (myoglobin) which can store
oxygen. Muscles also contain a temporary store of energy in the form of
creatine, and some fat and a starch (glycogen). Strength training and
high intensity exercise can increase the cross sectional area (csa) of
a muscle. The outward appearance of this is generally larger looking
muscles and this increase in muscle csa is directly related to
increases in strength and power.
How do Muscles Contract?
you want to move, electrical impulses come from the brain, down through
the spinal cord and are transmitted through the motor nerves to the
muscles. At the junction between the nerve end and the muscle (the
motor end plate), chemical signals are released from the nerve endings
(acetylcholine). This binds to a key on the surface of the muscle (the
receptor). The binding of this chemical to the receptor causes calcium
to enter the muscle cell, and this enables the troponin proteins to
move the myosin up the actin molecule. This causes the functional unit,
the sarcomere, to shorten and when several of these shorten along the
length of the fibre, the muscle as a whole contracts and shortens. To
release the bond between actin and myosin needs energy, to shorten the
muscle further or to cause it to relax. When the signal for contraction
ends, the calcium is pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (sr),
and the muscle relaxes. One aspect of fatigue is when there is less
affinity of ATP for myosin (in response to changes in the environment
within the fibre) or there is a slowing of the rate of calcium uptake
by sr after contraction and hence a slowing of relaxation of the
muscle. Another aspect of fatigue is the availability of fuels.
Glucose and its availability is extremely important for exercise in
general to continue. To release the bond between actin and myosin needs
energy, to shorten the muscle further or to relax the muscle. When the
signal for contraction ends, the calcium is pumped back into the
sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the muscle relaxes.
How Does the Muscle Get and Use Power?
needs energy to contract and as stated previously the 'universal energy
currency' of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is
largely produced within mitochondria, organelles which are often
referred to as the 'powerhouse' of the cell. The ATP that results is
used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract.
Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond
is broken between ATP and one of its three phosphate bonds. It is the
energy that is liberated by the breaking of this bond that causes the
movement. Hence ATP is broken down to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ADP
is reconverted to ATP by donation of a phosphate from another high
energy phosphate store in the muscle, creatine phosphate (CP).
Mitochondria can burn glucose, fats and ketones to make carbon dioxide
and water. Doing so ensures that a greater percentage of aerobic
metabolism can be sustained, i.e. a subsequent slightly greater
availability of oxygen and production of ATP. A diet rich in creatine
has the potential to increase the availability of creatine phosphate,
which can increase high energy phosphate supply during intense
exercise. Mitochondria can burn glucose, fats and ketones to make
carbon dioxide and water. They will do so give an adequate supply of
Exercise Types
Aerobic Exercise
the first few seconds of exercise, muscles use internal stores of ATP
and with maximal exercise this is supplemented by high energy phosphate
compounds (CP) as exercise continues this is also supplemented by
burning of glucose which is converted from muscle glycogen and burned
in the mitochondria. If the rate at which energy is demanded is low
then energy production is 'aerobic' utilising oxygen.
Anaerobic Exercise
the rate at which energy is demanded is high then increasingly this is
supplemented by contributions from anaerobic metabolism. The immediate
consequence is the production of lactic acid in the muscle which
immediately breaks down to lactate and hydrogen ions. Lactate provides
a huge fuel source and hydrogen ions can contribute to fatigue by
interfering with contractile processes and by changing the pH of the
muscle cell. The tolerance for lactate, or more specifically for its
attendant hydrogen ions and decreasing pH is limited. This is a
protection mechanism, as if pH inside the muscle drops too low damage
can occur. However, training can improve tolerance of pH and
maintenance of it within an appropriate range which can allow exercise
to continue. Because tolerance of lactate and its attendant challenges
very high intensity ('anaerobic') exercise is of limited duration..

Is there a way I can block certain search results from getting to my site? My site is in no way pornographic, but 'thanks' to a coincidence in words that appear in a couple of posts, I now get hundreds of people arriving at my site looking for a particular adult topic (which does not appear on the site).
For example, let's say I want to block anyone searching for 'adult diapers' and 'fetish'. I understand that I can not control what google does with the terms it finds on my site, but on my end, is there a way to block or redirect those arrivals?
Mainly, it is annoying because my stats often show an entire page of people visiting the same post from the same search referrer.
I know I can block search engines entirely, or make posts private, but I don't want to do either of those.

Henry County Extension Service
We all want to get the most out of our retirement, but financially that cannot be possible if we don't start planning for it early in our careers.
While retirement may seem like an eternity away for you, it will come sooner than you think.
It is hard for me to imagine that I have been working for Cooperative Extension for 45 years. I remember when I started working retirement seemed eons away.
As it has for nearly two-and-a-half centuries, our nation will pause on Monday to celebrate its "birthday," commemorating a time 240 years ago when the Founding Fathers declared our independence.
Since July 4, 1776, we have weathered a war for our freedom, a war against ourselves, and wars against those who would like nothing more than to see us and our values falter. Although the world has changed in countless ways since Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence, our commitment to protect and promote freedom has never wavered.
This is one of those race-to-the-bottom columns.
I've tried in vain to access my superego countless times during the week with the intention of writing about some uplifting topic.
A very divided United Kingdom voting to destroy continental unity and scuttle their long relationship with the European Union — what largely seems a system to oversee commerce and to bolster the economy there — makes it seem naive to talk about the evidence I see of an improving economy at home.

Jamie Chung in American Eagle Destroyed Skinny Jeans
Actress Jamie Chung was snapped while out ice skating with her friends daughter in New York City. It looks like she was having so much fun on the ice! They threw snowballs and also got a hot chocolate to warm up.
Jamie was wearing a head-to-toe American Eagle outfit! She chose the brands Fair Isle Crew Sweater and red Ribbed Beanie (both holiday pieces from the brand's "Legendary Gift" collection) and paired them with a pair of their signature destroyed Skinny Jeans. What do you think of her look? I think it's really festive and casual! Buy all of these pieces online at American Eagle.

Jessica Alba in American Eagle Skinny Jeans in Medium Authentic Destroy
Jessica Alba was photographed while carrying some drinks out to her car. Jessica wore a pair of American Eagle skinny jeans in medium authentic destroy with a simple white t shirt and gold Chuck Taylors.
I think the fit on these is really nice. I like how they have a nice bit of slouch, but are a skinny jeans. I love that Jessica mixes up her brands so much and isn't afraid to wear high end labels or things from more affordable brands like American Eagle and Gap. You can buy these jeans online from American Eagle for $50.

Nicole Richie in American Eagle Washed Black Denim Shorts
Nicole Richie was pictured looking very cheerful while having some lunch with some friends in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.
Nicole wore a pair of American Eagle washed black denim shorts with a striped tank top and black boots. She really loves her cut off denim shorts, especially the ones that have that vintage look to them. She really does wear them well though, don't you think?

Kristen Stewart in American Eagle Shorts
Kristen Stewart was photographed while arriving on set of her film Camp X-Ray. Kristen plays a member of the army in the film and was also photographed while her character was running drills on set.
I love that we've seen Kristen in everything from Balenciaga to these American Eagle Shorts, (which she previously wore at Coachella). She really can pull off red carpet and casual looks equally as well, I definitely think it is her attitude! You can buy American Eagle Shorts online from AE.com.

Kevin: The issue now isn't whether Donald calls on Russia to hack Hillary's campaign or not. The fact is the Russians are targeting the DNC and the Hillary campaign and they are not targeting the RNC or the Donald Campaign; Why is that? I would be more interested to see what is inside the minds of a mad man and his campaign and those that claim that they are always taking the moral high road. The path now to a fair election would be either full disclosure by all or none. Obviously this can't be accomplished at this point since only one party at this point is open to public scrutiny and the other is still concealing everything. The RNC and the Donald Campaign should fully disclose all their personal Emails and all their financials now to the general public as well in order to prove to the public that they are as open and honest as they always are claiming to be. After all we wouldn't want to Russia sway the election in favor of the Republicans or Donald, would we?

CLOSED Autumn/Winter 2013 Campaign
Here is the brand new Closed Campaign for Autumn/Winter 2013. The campaign photos were shot by photographer Collier Schorr in New York and you can see them in the gallery below. They feature the patchwork skinny jeans that I fell in love with last month!
They also have a campaign video, including making-off sequences and poetic impressions of Manhattan which was filmed by director and photographer Jonas Lindstr├Âm. You can watch it just below. What do you think of the new Closed campaign?
New CLOSED Patchwork Denim Arizona Long Biker Jeans
CLOSED introduced a new style to their new collection called the Patchwork Denim Arizona Long Biker jeans and I have completely fallen in love with them!
They are a new take on the colour block trend because they also combine the moto jeans style at the same time. I like how they gravitate from dark denim at the top, to a medium blue in the middle and then lighter panels at the bottom. What do you think of them?
Closed Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign
Here is the brand new Spring/Summer 2013 campaign from Closed. The campaign stars Esther Heesch and Linus Gustin as models. You can see the 6 campaign shots in the gallery below and you can also watch the video above. I love how reminiscent of Summer it is with the fresh water. What do you think of it?
Sarah Jessica Parker in Closed Cropped Biker Cords in Purple
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen yet again taking her children to school, but with the help of the nanny this time around, in New York City.
It seems like the only time we spot Sarah now is on the school run, but she at least seems to wear a varied amount of denim! She chose her Closed Cropped Biker Cords in Purple with a big puffer coat and boots for the day. I definitely prefer how she styled them previously, it was much sleeker!

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge in Alabama has denied the
majority of a lawsuit against the company that makes Splenda.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Ginny Granade said Thursday that
a group of Washington County residents suing over the Tate & Lyle
factory in McIntosh failed to prove their claims.
The residents' lawsuit alleges that they were hurt by chemical emissions and noise produced by the factory.
