Monday evening rollover crash west of Lucerne kills Platteville man
July 22, 2013
(Information in this story has been corrected.)
An 18-year-old Platteville man has died after a rollover crash on Monday evening east of Lucerne, and the driver of the vehicle is behind bars.
Jesus Carmona was one of two passengers in a 2000 Chevrolet pickup driven by Gorge Nunez, 22, of Dacono, according to Colorado State Patrol.
The vehicle was traveling west on Colo. 392 near Weld County Road 47 about 5:30 p.m. when the pickup veered into the eastbound lane, went off the highway, hit a power pole and rolled, said Trooper Nate Reid.
Carmona, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to North Colorado Medical Center, where he died from his injuries, according to Weld County Coroner Mark Ward.
Nunez and the other passenger, a 19-year-old man from Farmington, N.M., were buckled up, and neither suffered serious injuries, Reid said.
Nunez was being held Tuesday evening in the Weld County Jail on suspicion of careless driving, driving without a license and failure to provide proof of insurance and registration, according to information at the jail. He was being held on $1,000 bond.
Carmona is the 18th person to die so far this year on a roadway in Weld County. This crash was the second in the county in 24 hours to turn fatal. A Sunday evening motorcycle crash took the lives of an Evans couple.

The Cromer Lifeboat Station was established in 1804 and was not taken over by the Institution from the Norfolk Shipwreck Association until 1857. Since 1923 there have been two lifeboats at Cromer, the larger for working on the outlying sands and the smaller for working inshore. The outstanding figure in the history of Cromer is Henry George Blogg who became a member of the Cromer crew in 1894 at the age of 18. He was coxswain from 1909-1947. During his 53 years as a lifeboatman, the Cromer lifeboats had been on service 387 times and rescued 873 lives. His record is without equal in the history of the Institution. No lifeboatman has received so many decorations for gallantry. He won the Gold Medal of the Institution, which is only given for conspicuous gallantry, three times. He won the Silver Medal four times. He also held the George Cross and the British Empire Medal. He died in July 1954 at the age of 78 years. A bronze memorial plaque commemorating him was unveiled by Lord Templewood in the Cromer lifeboat house in August 1955. Coxswain Blogg's portrait was painted for the Institution by Mr F C Dugdale RA and was exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1942, and now hangs in the offices of the Institution. A copy by Mr Dugdale was presented to Coxswain Blogg by the Institution.
1867Silver Medal awarded to the Hon Auberon Herbert in admiration of his gallant conduct when the lifeboat launched on service through heavy surf, with the view of rescuing the crew of the Sloop Sutcliffe that was wrecked off Cromer in a gale on 26 July 1867.
1868A new lifeboat house constructed at a cost of £298.
1877Tests were made each time the lifeboat was afloat. Half the oarsman wore waistcoast life-belts and the other half strap and buckle belts.
1895Gas laid on to lifeboat house.
1917Gold Medal awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg, Silver Medals to William Davies and Private Stewart Holmes, and Bronze Medals awarded to crew members George Allen, James Allen, Edward Allen, William Allen, Henry Balls, Charles Cox, George Cox, Leslie Harrison, Tom Kirby, Gilbert Mayers, Walter Rix, and William Rix in recognition of the seamanship, unwavering courage, tenacity and physical endurance displayed by them when the lifeboat went to the assistance of the Swedish steamer Fernebo after an explosion had broke the vessel in two in a strong north-easterly gale in the afternoon of 9 January 1917. The lifeboat, only just returned from a service to the Greek vessel Pyrin, and with a crew undaunted by their previous exertions, tried to launched once more with the assistance of hundreds of servicemen, many up to their necks in the water, but it was impossible to get past the heavy surf and she was driven back onto the beach. Several more unsuccessful attempts were made to launch and rocket apparatus was also tried, but just before midnight the lifeboat was successfully launched and rescued 11 survivors.
This was the first time Bronze medals had been awarded. Due to wartime demands, lifeboat crews were almost all, over military age, and more than one in this lifeboat crew was approaching 70 years of age. The Committee of Management voted a grant of £100 to a soldier, Driver John Sharp who became paralysed after assisting as a launcher on this service. He died as a result of his illness on 21 September 1918 and the grant of £100, which had been invested, was returned to the Institution.
1923With the introduction of a motor lifeboat to Cromer, a new lifeboat house and slipway was constructed at the end of the Pier at a cost of £32,000.
1924Coxswain Blogg and six other Gold Medalists awarded the Empire Gallantry Medal by HM The King in the RNLI's Centenary Year.
1927Gold Medal Second Service Bar awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg; Bronze Medal Second Service Bars to crew members Edward Allen, G Cox and L Harrison, and Bronze Medals to each of the nine other crew for the rescue of 15 men from the Dutch oil tanker Georgia which had broken in two at 8.30 pm on the South Haisborough Sands on 21/22 November 1927.
1928A Centenary Vellum awarded.
1931Bronze Medal Second Service Bar awarded to Bowman J Davies (Snr) when on 17 February he jumped overboard from the lifeboat when on service to a capsized fishing boat Welcome Home to help a man who was helpless in the water; unfortunately the man died.
1932Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg for the rescue of 30 men and a dog from the Italian steamer Monte Nevoso that ran aground on the Haisborough Sands on 14 October 1932. Coxswain Blogg was awarded the Silver Medal of the Canine Defence League.
1934Silver Medal Second Service Bar awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg for the rescue of two men from the barge Sepoy flying distress flags and dragging her anchors on 13 December 1933. As the lifeboat was already at sea on another service several unsuccessful attempts to launch the number two lifeboat were made, but when Coxswain Blogg, returning to station, heard of the casualty he immediately made best speed to assist. When he reached the vessel he rounded her stern and came between the barge, with heavy seas breaking over her, and the shore, trying unsuccessfully to lay alongside the vessel's rigging, her decks beneath the water. Coxswain Blogg then ran the lifeboat's bow, on top of the bulwarks, abreast of the starboard rigging, and one of the exhausted, very cold men was seized by some of the crew and hauled aboard. This manoeuvre was repeated and the other man was saved
1939Silver Medal Third Service Bar awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg; Bronze Medal Third Service Bar to Second Coxswain John Davies (Snr); Bronze Medals Second Service Bar awarded to Mechanic Henry W Davies and Assistant Mechanic James W Davies for the rescue of 29 from the Greek steamer Mount Ida wrecked on Ower Bank on 9/10 October 1939. This was the first lifeboat medal to be awarded in the war of 1939-1945.
1941Gold Medal Third Service Bar awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg, Silver Medal awarded to Second Coxswain John J Davies and a Bronze Medal Third Service Bar to Mechanic Henry W Davies, for rescuing 88 lives from six steamers of a convoy which had been wrecked on the Haisborough Sands on 5 August 1941. Coxswain Blogg was also awarded the BEM for this service. Also for this service a Bronze Medal Third Service Bar awarded to Second Coxswain L Harrison and a Bronze Medal awarded to Mechanic H V Linder for the rescue of eight from the ss Taara. Shortly before the award of the BEM for this service, it was announced that the George Cross was to be substituted for the Empire Gallantry Medal awarded in 1924. Coxswain Blogg received his George Cross in October.
Silver Medal Forth Service Bar awarded to Coxswain Henry George Blogg, Bronze Medal Forth Service Bar awarded to Second Coxswain John J Davies (Snr) and Mechanic Henry W Davies, Bronze Medal Third Service Bars awarded to Signalman Edward W Allen (posth) and Assistant Mechanic James W Davies, Bronze Medals Second Service Bars awarded to crew members Sidney C Harrison, John J Davies (Jnr), and Bowman William T Davies; and the remaining four crew members were awarded Bronze Medal for the rescue of the crew from the English Trader wrecked on Hammond Knoll on 26 October 1941. Whilst on this service, five men, including Coxswain Blogg, were washed out of the lifeboat. All were recovered but boat signalman Edward W Allen died of heart failure later and his widow was granted a pension.
1945The Henry Blogg lifeboat was the first mid-ship steering type of lifeboat.
1967A D class lifeboat sent to station in March and No 2 station closed on 22 June.
1974Bronze Medal awarded to Dr Paul Barclay MC TD, in recognition of his courage and devotion to duty in undertaking a hazardous transfer, although suffering from severe seasickness, from the lifeboat to the trawler Boston Jaguar to treat an injured man on 15 November 1973. The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum was awarded to Coxswain H T Davies BEM, in recognition of his skill and determination in successfully transferring Dr Barclay and crew member R W Davies to the trawler. The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum also accorded to crew member R W Davies in recognition of his meritorious action in undertaking the hazardous transfer in support of Dr Barclay.
1975A celebration Vellum presented to station to commemorate 171 years service.
1981Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Clive Richard Rayment in recognition of his courage and seamanship when the D class inflatable lifeboat rescued the crew of two of the fishing boat George William which sank off East Runton in a strong north-north-easterly wind and a rough onshore sea and swell on 1 May 1981. One man was clinging to a lifebuoy and the other to a crab pot marker buoy the lifeboat was driven at maximum speed despite the heavy onshore swell to reach the two men quickly who were both suffering from hypothermia when picked up. Medal service certificates were presented to the two crew members of the lifeboat, Frank H Muirhead and Christopher B Craske.
1985The new station Tyne class lifeboat ON1097 Ruby & Arthur Reed placed on service on 16 December.
1989The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum was awarded to Coxswain Richard Davies for towing to safety the yacht Phaedra and thus saving the lives of her crew of two on 29 September 1988. The casualty was 33 miles from Cromer and sailing around in circles in the middle of the night in a west-south-west Force 8/9 Gale gusting to Force 10, and 20 foot seas. Severe weather conditions prevented a crew member being placed on board the casualty to secure a tow, but the skipper of the yacht managed to haul down the sails and make fast a tow. This service lasted 12 hours in the worst conditions experienced by the crew since the Tyne class lifeboat Ruby and Arthur Reed II was stationed at Cromer in 1985.
1991A collective Framed Letter of Thanks signed by the Chairman of the Institution was presented to Coxswain R W Davies, Second Coxswain W T Davies, Mechanic R J Hannah, Assistant Mechanic J W H Jonas and crew members P Jefferies, P Everitt, H Balls and J Howard for a service on 21 November 1990 to the cargo vessel Stavroula that had gone aground on the Mid Haisbro Sand with nine crew on board. In an east-north-easterly Force 6 Strong Breeze and a very rough sea, lifeboat Ruby and Arthur Reed II was manoeuvred alongside the vessel and the crew were taken off. Seven of the crew were landed ashore by helicopter. The Master and Engineer, with two lifeboatmen, reboarded the vessel to assess the situation. A small fire was found in the galley and extinguished and the rudder was found to be jammed. At 2200 the vessel refloated and a towline was passed to the Tug Anglian Warrior, which had arrived on scene. The two lifeboatmen returned to the lifeboat and the vessel was towed to Lowestoft.
1994Bronze Medal awarded to Coxswain Richard William Davies in recognition of his courage, leadership and outstanding seamanship when on the afternoon of the 13 October 1993, the Ruby and Arthur Reed II lifeboat rescued the crew of five and saved the yacht Happy Bear, which had suffered steering failure off Cromer in storm force winds and 35 foot seas. Heavy seas were lashing the boathouse doors as the lifeboat launched down the slipway and on reaching the water, she was completely buried in the sea. The launch of the lifeboat was the roughest that the station had experienced in the 30 years that the coxswain had been involved.
1998A New ALB boathouse and slipway completed in October.
The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum accorded to Second Coxswain William Davies of the Cromer relief lifeboat ON1189 Her Majesty The Queen in recognition of the high standard of seamanship and considerable initiative displayed by him when saving the crew of three and the yacht Tange of Whitby during an 11 hour service in severe weather conditions on 6 November 1998.
1999The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum accorded to Coxswain Richard Davies for entering the sea from the beach and swimming to the aid of a man being swept away by tidal streams on the night of 2 October. He caught hold of the man and supported him until both were recovered by the inshore lifeboat. The crew of the inshore lifeboat received Vellum service certificates
2003The Trustees of the Institution voted that Cromer lifeboat station be awarded a Vellum to commemorate it's bi-centenary in 2003.
2006Adaptation of old museum for inshore lifeboat completed March.
2007Building adaptations to accommodate Tamar class lifeboat were completed in November at a cost of £995,000.

On the reviewing scene...
Star-Ledger: Cody Kendall paid a call at the Black Trumpet in Spring Lake.
New Jersey Section, New York Times: David Corcoran and Karla Cook continue their journey along the Jersey Shore and continue to bore readers with reviews of restaurants they've only recently discovered... but that everyone else has known about for years. This week, Ms. Cook bestowed a "Very Good" on Blue in Surf City.
The Record: Bill Pitcher reviewed Cafe Panache in Ramsey, and Amy Kuperinsky took a "First Look" at Cafe Tulip in Ridgewood.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Restaurant critic Craig LaBan often reviews restaurants in South Jersey. This week he gave an "Excellent" to Fuji, a wonderful Japanese restaurant that recently reopened in Haddonfield after previously being located in Cinnaminson.
I completely agree with Mr. LaBan's rating... but, as usual, he ends up sticking his foot in his mouth. And I quote: "But Fuji's draw was never really about ambience or service. And the service still needs polish, judging from the blank looks our friendly and relatively efficient waiter gave us when we ordered sushi in Japanese ("I'm Chinese; speak English please!")."
Why does the service need polish? Mr. LaBan freely admits that the server was efficient and friendly. This paragraph was included for one reason only: to impress his readers with the fact that he - or his entire entourage - was able to order sushi in Japanese. If you're dining in Japan, bravo. But if you're dining in Haddonfield, NJ? Mr. LaBan, it seems, just loves to impress. Unfortunately, this attempt clearly backfired, as the paragraph reads as if Mr. LaBan is criticizing the waiter for being Chinese instead of Japanese. I have never questioned Mr. LaBan's knowledge, but his judgment, in my opinion, often leaves something to be desired, as he often, in my view, includes comments that are better left unspoken... And this is certainly one of those occasions.
Bon Appetit!

Alert! Identity Theft
I received an email from a company saying they would agree to my request. What request? "My request" was attached in the mail: Doo claiming for free samples in the purpose of reviewing them in this blog. The shipping address was a post box number in Punjab, Pakistan. (Do note that I reside in Finland, Europe). That person had claimed to be the owner of this blog and had generated an email address similar enough to mine - just one dot missing. Fortunately this company had themselves approached me before so they had my real address in their contacts. In a lucky error they replied to me instead of the imposter. So now I'm aware that there is someone outthere trying to ask for products using my identity.
Have you had this happen to you?
Have you taken any steps to prevent this?
What could I do to prevent this from happening?
If there are companies outthere reading this and waiting for my review - I'm sorry but I don´t do reviews in exchange for products. I never ever contact companies for free samples. I like to buy my own stuff. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to win in a draw or a couple of times in nail art competitions, sometimes people close to me surprise me with a gift. Mostly I just buy them myself. I mention brands and put up links just to be informative to my readers. The only thing I get from it is an organized nail file for me and for others to read. I am not affiliated with any company. I don´t have sponsorships nor do I seek for them. Sometimes companies approach me and only once have I welcomed products to try. I don´t have as much time to invest in this blog to keep up the regular posting that sponsorships require. This blog is a stress-free place for me, where I can express myself when I feel like it, with what ever colors I choose to wear at the time. There are other girls doing a brilliant job at reviewing products and showcasing new collections, keeping us updated on the latest novelties.
I love being independent and I´m really really upset that someone is now taking advantage of that - claiming for free products and then maybe selling them forward. Most probably doing it to other bloggers too.
What can I do about it? I don´t want to stop blogging and I wouldn't want to make this blog a closed community. But I feel really violated. I also feel the threat for other bloggers. I sincerely hope the companies use some measures to check the real identity of the people who claim to own a certain blog.
Please, if you have any thoughts on how this kind of theft could be prevented, tell me. Do warn other bloggers about this too.

wow thats really crazy. sorry i dont have any helpful advice bc i don't know how this stuff works. but i like your point that you mention brands and whatnot in order to be informative. thats how i feel too. geez what a shame someone's trying to use your name to get free stuff!ReplyDelete
Voi luoja sentään! Miten tuollaista edes voi tapahtua! :O Olen ihmeissäni.ReplyDelete
Wow this is horrible. I don't undestand such people, why would you do this? Never read this before, I really don't know what do to. Maybe call with the police? They probably have some rules when it comes to stealing identities on the internet.ReplyDelete
Ugh!! I am really sorry to hear about this!! People who do stuff like that are really pathetic! :(ReplyDelete
Thank you girls. I checked the online service of police force and they don't have a standard protocol for crimes like these on their site. The fact it happened abroad complicates things even more. The imposter was using a post office box and what appears to be a false name (Asrar Khan - really common name it seems by googling). That person seems to be a professional at this kind of activity, being sure to cover his/her tracks.ReplyDelete
wow, thats awful :( :/ varmaan on monen muunkin bloggarin oikeuksia loukattu tuollalailla, eihän se varmasti mukavalta tunnu :( toivottavasti näin ei tapahdu toiste!ReplyDeleteReplies
Jep, vielä kun ajattelee että oli aivan sattuman oikku jotta sain edes tietää asiasta. Varmasti jäävuoren huippu :(Delete
That's just insane and ridiculous!! If that person wanted to get free polishes, that idiot should start up her own blog, make it popular herself and *then* ask the companies for free samples / stuff for reviewing. Asking in someone else's name is ... Umm... I don't have words for it!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the heads up! I think I may have a small solution (although, it will not fully prevent this from happening): Make a page or banner on your blog stating that you do not endorse products, so that once the company who is contacted sees it, they will know it is an imposter! You could also make your real email address visible, so the company can see it, and hopefully know the one sending the emails is a fake. I hope this helps :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! The email address was a dot away from the email I really have (doopolishing, whereas I have doo.polishing). I'm afraid it's still too easy to mix them up even if I put it on the side banner, it's such a little detail :/Delete
But I'll change my profile text so it clearly states that I'm not affiliated with any company, thanks!
That's horrible! and really scary to think that someone is using your identity. I wish there was better security!ReplyDelete
OMG, this is so crazy! I agree with Rainbowify Me, but then, when I think again - this person could get a good job too and then just pay for the stuff. But I guess both take time and it's just easier to steal! Grrrrr, I have no words either!!! >:( It's a very good idea that you wrote this post, so every company waiting for your reviews, can see what's happening. :SReplyDelete
Thank you for all your concern!ReplyDelete
This is so disturbing! I have never heard of anything like that! I don't think there is much that you can do about it since there is no way to track it :(ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep. I've received several emails this week from various companies "replying for my request". Luckily they seem to have checked out my blog and taking my real email address from here so they haven't replied to the thief. But no way of knowing how many companies have replied straight to him/her :(Delete
Apua, kuulostaa ihan hirveeltä! :O Ei ois kyllä tullu mieleenkään että jotain tällästäkin voi tapahtua. Jo pelkkä kuvien tms. varastaminen tuntuu inhottavalta, en voi edes kuvitella miltä tällänen tuntuu. Ja sitten vielä, kun ei edes oikein voi itse tehdä mitään estääkseen tällasta, argh.ReplyDeleteReplies
Niinpä. Aluksi tuntui tosi kiukuttavalta, mutta minkäpä tuollaiselle voi muuta kuin tiedottaa ja varoittaa muitakin asiasta. Nyt taas pilvet väistyy ja tekee mieli palata blogin pariin :)Delete
thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Guts and guile served Texas A&M well Friday in a comeback against LSU that forced extra innings at Blue Bell Park. The Tigers' speed and athleticism was the perfect answer, though, in a win that steered far from the script when least expected.
Left staggered by the Aggies' four-run bottom of the 9th inning, LSU survived on the wings on an absolutely spectacular play by Jared Foster in left field and then regained the upper hand with Andrew Stevenson's blinding speed as the impetus in a 5-4 10-inning victory.
Texas A&M stunned LSU by erasing a four-run deficit with Aaron Nola and then Joe Broussard on the mount.
The Aggies took advantage of five walks - two apiece by both o the Tigers' two best pitchers and an intentional walk - a bloop single, a mammoth two-out pinch hit single from Jonathan Moroney to draw even.
Moroney was at third base after Broussard walked Jace Statum (intentionally) and Krey Bratsen to load the bases. Blake Allemand took a ball and then hammered a twisting opposite-field line drive that for all the world looked like a game-winning hit.
But Foster, installed as a defensive replacement the inning before, sprinted back and hauled in the ball as he leapt and held on when he landed for the third out.
Given a reprieve, the Tigers didn't waste the chance.
Stevenson stepped in with one out in the 10th and flared a fly ball into shallow right-center field that Nick Banks slid to try and catch but couldn't. The ball skipped a few feet away, and Stevenson never slowed down and slid into second base with a double.
With Mark Laird at the plate, reliever Ty Schlottman uncorked a wild pitch that caromed off the back wall and right back to catcher Troy Stein, who fired to third base, where Stevenson barely beat the throw again.
Laird worked the count to 2-and-2 and then tapped a ball up the middle that Schlottman jumped and fielded. He threw to the plate but Stevenson's speed again paid off, as he slid in under Stein's tag.
The Aggies didn't go without throwing another major score into the Tigers.
Broussard walked J.B. Moss to start the 10th, ending his night. Zac Person surrendered a single to Cole Lankford and then fell behind Banks, who was trying to bunt.
LSU coach Paul Mainieri summoned senior Kurt McCune, who got Banks to fly out, retired Rhyne Birk on a roller to first base and slammed the door by getting Logan Nottebrok to fly out to right field.
It was McCune's 4th save and third in the Tigers' last three SEC road wins.
The teams return to action at noon Saturday, with Jared Poché (6-3, 2.59 ERA) facing Aggies' junior Daniel Mengden, who has struggled to a 3-6 record this season.

The Answer To College Football's Future: Group Play
Since the start of the 2010s, college football has changed drastically.
The current college football landscape features conference expansion, founding conference teams leaving their roots (Maryland), schools joining conferences that do not make sense geographically (Colorado, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Texas A&M, etc.)
Conferences do not not mean much of anything anymore – so why continue on with them, ecspecially in a new era with a playoff?
A solution that can maintain college football's traditional roots along with the ability of moving the sport forward into a modern format, is a solution that stems from the world's sport and the sport that is growing rapidly throughout the United States – soccer.
With the abundance of World Cup soccer that has been on over the last few weeks, group play is a good solution for college football's future.
It's seemingly a matter of time before the five power conferences break off from the rest of the FBS field, and Mike Slive's demands at the SEC spring meetingswas just further proof.
"We want the ability to have autonomy in areas that have a nexus to the well-being of student-athletes," Slive said in May. "I am somewhat optimistic it will pass, but if it doesn't, our league would certainly want to move to a Division 4. My colleagues (in other power conferences), I can't speak for anybody else, but I'd be surprised if they didn't feel the same way."
So with that being said and alongside what Mike Slive wants to create, lets take a look at how college football's Division 4 should be structured.
The World Cup fields eight groups of four teams with the top two teams advancing into tournament play. A team is awarded three points for a win and one point for a tie.
College football would have enough to field 16 groups of four teams – and the groups would be based on geographics and tradition.
For example, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn all would be in one group – protecting The Third Saturday in October and The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. Like the World Cup, a school would get three points for beating a group opponent. One point then would be awarded for defeating anyone else on your schedule – your remaining schedule would be based off playing seven other teams from the 64 "power conference" schools that broke off.
No complaining if you feel your school was stuck in a group of death, either. All your school has to do is finish in the top two of your division to advance.
Schools that do not advance out of group play and have at least six wins, you can go bowling – keeping tradition alive with bowl games on top of a five-round playoff. It's the perfect solution for college football's future.
It also would reunite teams like Texas A&M with Texas, Baylor and TCU in a group and Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Colorado all together. Oklahoma and Texas could still schedule each other for a regular season game – with one point riding on it.
Who doesn't want to see Oklahoma play Nebraska in a meaningful game again, and Nebraska playing Colorado again on Black Friday? Conference realignment may have taken some classic rivalries away, but group play is the answer to bring them back.
Not sure if the egos of some would ever bow down to a soccer format – but it's a solution that keeps tradition and playoff intact. What else would you want? And then there's Mike Leach and Washington State's group: Washington State, Washington, Oregon and Oregon State. And Leach discussed the idea with me.
"I think it's a brilliant idea," Leach told Football.com. "I think it's a very good idea. Basically 64 teams are involved and it's awesome.
"I started to see this way back when I was offensive coordinator at Oklahoma and on into (Texas) Tech – we need to go 64 teams. In order for 64 teams to work, all you have to do is cut the regular season down to ten games."
With the uncertainty of the NCAA's future with major college football schools, the "World Cup format" is the perfect solution as college football takes a step forward, while not losing their traditional rivalries and bowl games.
"It gives a team ten guaranteed games and more for a good season," Leach said. "It's an idea that plays into conferences getting bigger and bigger.
"You have to be first or second in your group in points, it makes it interesting all year long. In this business right now with four teams (The College Football Playoff), there's just too much bias and politics. Some of the bias is innocent bias, just trying to select four teams out of a bunch of teams that's not settled on the field is unfairness in the selection process."
So Coach Leach and I agree that the World Cup group play format is the way too go for college football's future.
Currently the ACC, Big Ten and the SEC all have 14 teams each, the PAC-12 fields 12 and the Big 12 has ten. That totals to 64, which makes the format even more ideal – the only problem is Notre Dame, of course. For the time being, we substitute Notre Dame for Indiana (we'll let Mike Slive determine how to implement the Fighting Irish), which makes group play look like this:
Group 1
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee
Group 2
Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami
Group 3
LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State
Group 4
Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Vanderbilt
Group 5
Clemson, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech
Group 6
Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest
Group 7
Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, TCU
Group 8
Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
Group 9
Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa, Iowa State
Group 10
Illinois, Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin
Group 11
Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue
Group 12
Boston College, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Syracuse
Group 13
Missouri, Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia
Group 14
California, Stanford, UCLA, USC
Group 15
Arizona, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Utah
Group 16
Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State

This is an updated version of a story posted at 10:48 this morning.
NORTHAMPTON – A bicyclist who collided with a car in the middle of downtown Northampton Saturday has lost his life.
Harry Delmolino, 18, of Hadley collided with a sedan at the intersection of Main and Pleasant streets just after 7:30 p.m., in full view of motorist and pedestrian around the busy intersection. Downtown was especially crowded that evening because people were in town for activities leading up to Smith College commencement exercises on Sunday.
As police redirected traffic around the accident site, Delmonlino was taken by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center. He died there Tuesday of injuries sustained in the collision.
The Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Team investigated the accident scene. The Northwestern District Attorney's Office said it is continuing its investigation into the collision.
"We will wait for all relevant information to be gathered and evaluated before drawing any conclusions about the nature and cause of the collision," the office said in a statement.
Cesar Avelar, 43, of Northampton was driving the sedan that collided with Delmolino's bicycle. The car was turning left onto Pleasant Street from Main Street when the accident occurred. No charges have been filed against him to date. Delmolino was not wearing a helmet, according to police.
The District Attorney's Office expressed its condolences to Delmolino's family for its loss. Family member were with him during his hospitalization. Funeral arrangements will be handled by Kostanski Funeral Home of Greenfield.

They're opening grandly at Barolo (1201 U.S. Highway 1, 561/626-1616), the elegant Italian eatery in North Palm Beach's Crystal Tree Plaza shopping center. From now until Sept. 30, the restaurant of food, wine and art maven Bill Habansky will be offering a $32.95 four-course prix fixe menu to celebrate its debut.
Inside, the 150-seat Barolo shows off a sleek, contemporary look highlighted by a large, U-shaped bar and modern artwork displayed gallery-style on cool white walls. There's also a chic outdoor patio.
The menu sports a classical Italian orientation, with dishes like gnocchi Amatriciana, fettucine Bolognese, assorted fish and shellfish in a white wine-tomato "brodetto," the hearty chicken scarpariello and one of my all-time favorites, mozzarella en carrozza, breaded and crisply fried mozzarella served with marinara and anchovy sauce.
With a name like Barolo you'd expect the wine list to be something special, and Barolo doesn't disappoint. Look for a list strong in Italian and California bottlings, including—of course—several excellent Barolos, among the Pio Cesare, Fratelli Giacosa and Gaja.

How do these motherfuckers even get elected? Rhetoric. Don't even try.
Maybe it's time I started voting. I have half a mind of standing for the next election for a guaranteed losing party titled "None Of The Above".

Rajya Sabha so not really elected :).
Buggerit. :) Down with 'em all.
[oh good, i was feeling bad that i had never voted once in my life, despite talking very loudly about democracy. tis good to know that i'm not alone ;)]
but, coming to the main point: yes yes child, go and vote. show that your forefathers did not fight for freedom and go to jail for nothing. show some respect for the idea of democracy!
does "None of the above" have importance – like if 30% of populace says none of the above… all those who stood for election are debarred for life!!!
it doesnt matter – now … we are fucked
I'm pushing for reservations and quotas for thought challenged people like me (only way I can get into a IIT).
by the way, i didnt get the details; do you know if these guys are interested only in IIT / IIMs … or they have plans to screw-up IISc / ISI / TIFR like places too ?
How do these motherfuckers even get elected? What, do you have faith in humanity's intelligence? What else did you expect?
Yeah right. When did you take up this modesty thing? Must be vrery very recently.
All government-funded institutes, it seems. The media only addresses the more popular brands.
oh please don;t get me started on this!
found out recently that telugu's a pretty strong language
How so?
the number of cuss words
(you said mofo, so…)
:) Indian languages rock! Marathi is a really nice language to cuss in. :D
?You are Maharashtrian?
It really is a nice language to cuss in. The diction and the delivery is to kill for.
I came to your LJ through several people like
I am curious to know about your username…do you have any connection with Washington University in St Louis, which could also be louiswu? Or is it a random name?
Louis Wu…truly a person of the future!

Committee of Public Accounts
London: TSO, 2001 (House of Commons papers. Session 2001/02; HC 358)
Cancellation of the benefits payment card project at a cost of over £1bn in lost fraud savings, nugatory expenditure and write-down of assets and costs, must rank as one of the biggest IT failures in the public sector. However, the arrangements now in hand for payment of benefits through Automated Credit Transfer from 2003 should provide a more modern, efficient and secure method for paying benefits and deliver significant administrative and fraud savings. The arrangements which are also in hand to create a universal banking service for claimants are likely to require public money, government guarantees, or both, and to cover benefit payments of many billions a year. Mechanisms need to be set up to ensure proper arrangements for public accountability for these payments and guarantees, and for ensuring that Post Offices offer good quality services to claimants.
ChildRight, issue 182, Dec. 2001, p. 12
The government has announced new proposals to assist parents in balancing work with family life in response to the report of the Work and Parent's Taskforce. The proposals, due to come into force in April 2003, let parents with young children come to an arrangement with their employers for more flexible working hours. The changes are expected to be included in the Employment Bill currently before Parliament.

The long-promised overhaul of the housing benefit system has been shelved by the government until after the next election. Instead, ministers intend to concentrate on piecemeal changes over the next two years.
(See also The Independent, Jan. 18th 2002, p. 8)
Audit Commission
Wetherby: Audit Commission Publications, 2001
Reports states that serious problems in the administration of housing benefit by local authorities persist. The system is tarnished by long delays, waste, error and fraud. Similar authorities offer very different standards of service, suggesting that organisation and management need improvement. Local authorities need to introduce performance management systems, improve their IT infrastructure, promote collaborative working, and consider outsourcing some or all of the service.
D. Walker
Guardian, Jan. 1st 2002, p. 7
Labour has changed the rules governing the Housing Benefit scheme 90 times since it took office in 1997, forcing civil servants to issue an average of one circular a week to councils. It is estimated that the changes have added £331m to the costs of administering the scheme. Added complexity may also have made fraud easier.

Article argues that:
New Review of the Low Pay Unit, no. 72, Nov./Dec. 2001, p. 18
Summarises the Low Pay Unit's (LPU) response to the government consultation on extending tax credits. The LPU welcomes the extension of the system to childless couples and proposals for aggregating couples' hours. It is however sceptical about the possibility of integrating an annualised income assessment with a weekly hours test. Points out that the consultation document also fails to address a fundamental flaw in the childcare tax credit, that the calculation of costs, being based on a maximum 70% entitlement, disadvantages those on a low income.

Active Transportation
Active transportation is the use of any form of human powered mode of transportation, such as walking, wheeling or cycling from place to place. Using active transportation is a great way to fit physical activity into your day to help reduce your risk of developing heart disease, stroke and many other chronic conditions.
Everyone spends time commuting from place to place, whether it is from home to work or school, or just out running errands. Time constraints are often listed as one of the main barriers to being physically active, so why not use active transportation as a healthy time-saving way to fit activity into your day? Watch the following videos produced by Winnipeg in motion, Resource Conservation Manitoba, and Physical Activity Coalition of Manitoba (PACM). As a member of PACM, HSFM encourages you to watch these videos and learn how everyday people fit active transportation into their daily life.

Many world leaders, upon making a consequential decision, will say that they'll leave it up to history to decide if they were right. Not Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After only 13 years on the world stage – and at the helm of his country – Putin has ordered that the definitive Russian history be written for its young students. And Putin will have a starring role, with his epoch in history (2000-2013) getting an entire chapter.
Wow! Talking about carving out one's place in history.
Russian education officials are saying that while Putin ordered the text book written, it's actually their decision to give their leader an entire chapter in the new, definitive Russian history.
"After long consultation it was decided that the textbook should include the history of Russia up to the last presidential elections," an official from the ministry of education told a Russian daily, according to published reports. "There were many doubts and quarrels but in the end we decided not to diverge from the accepted global practice," the official said.
Background according to published reports: Earlier this year, Putin ordered historians at the Russian Academy of Sciences to prepare a standardized textbook which would provide students with a definitive history of their country. In February, Putin called on historians to produce a single history free "from internal contradictions and ambiguities," suggesting that current textbooks offered too many opposing views.
No word yet on when the text book will be published.
So now that the controversial Russian president is getting his chapter in the official Russian history text book, what should it say?
Try your hand at penning the Putin chapter in the comments.

FENTON, MI - It was a little before midnight when Disney Channel actress Allie DeBerry had to rush away from Fenton's prom and her date but, unlike Cinderella, her carriage wasn't about to turn back into a pumpkin.
Instead, the actress had to make an early flight home for California.
But did Fenton senior Justin Hang get to kiss the princess?
He's not saying.
"I'm going to put a no comment there," he said.
Hang couldn't have been more ecstatic with the experience of going to prom with the star of Disney's A.N.T. Farm show.
"I'm probably going to remember it for the rest of my life," he said. "Everything went really well."
Hang, 18, created a YouTube video on March 20 asking DeBerry to prom in a funny fashion as he talked, spent time in the snow, doing pushups and hanging out with stuffed bears, among other things, during the video.
After tweeting the video to her, she responded, telling him if he got 1,500 retweets she would go with him. After appearing on the Ryan Seacreast Show to make a last minute push, Hang got more than 1,500 and DeBerry tweeted him, saying, "I'd better go pick out my dress!"
DeBerry met Hang and his friends on Saturday afternoon at a friend's home in Fenton Township, before leaving on a party bus to go to their prom at the Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc.
The couple had dinner and danced the night away, their evening interrupted by the occasional request for a cellphone pic with various promgoers.
Although Hang was admittedly nervous it might be awkward, he said DeBerry was wonderful to be with the entire night.
"I was really nervous but she really set the mood," he said. "She made it really easy going for me."
Hang said the two had a great time and he got to know her as a person, rather than just a personality on TV.
"I never thought I would meet a perfect girl, but she definitely has everything," he said. "I could go on and on."
The two plan to keep in touch, Hang added.
Throughout Saturday, before the dance, Hang's brother took video of the afternoon.
It could lead Hang making another video for the enjoyment of those who followed him through his "promposal."
"Maybe I'll make a YouTube video," he said. "We'll see."

The International Mountain Biking Association is set to spend four days in Chautauqua County.
The goal of the IMBA visit is to help area residents, members of the Northern Allegheny Mountain Bike Association and the Western New York Mountain Bike Association improve the quality and sustainability of the trail systems throughout the county.
IMBA's 17th trail care crew, Jesse Livingston and Lori Reed of Springfield, Mo., will host presentations at Jamestown Community College on Friday and Saturday.

According to Thomas Wright, a NAMBA member who has been building and maintaining trails in the county for nearly 10 years, IMBA will help him rethink some of the existing trails, such as the Earl Cardot Eastside Overland Trail, which was designed in the early 1970s and currently has some unsustainable fall line areas, he said.
"The trail just continues to erode year after year," Wright said. "So, IMBA will come in to reflag a reroute, show community volunteers how to properly close down a trail corridor and open a new one."
Friday's presentation, which is set for 3:30-5 p.m. at the Carnahan Theater, will focus on Better Living Through Trails. The information provided aims to help the community successfully market and manage trail systems, attract regional visitors as well as increase business opportunities.
"If anyone is interested in learning how trails could economically benefit the area, the Better Living Through Trails presentation is what I would urge them to come down to," Wright said.
Saturday's presentation, which is set for 9 a.m. to noon at the Carnahan Theater, will include a workshop on sustainable trail creation and management. The presentation is geared toward providing area residents and members of the Friends of Chautauqua County Greenways, www.friendsofchautauquagreenways.org, with the skills to address a fall line section of the Earl Cardot Eastside Overland Trail and to turn it into a sustainable rolling contour trail.
"Following the presentation, from 1-4 p.m., we'll go out to put what was taught, into practice," Wright said. "If people are willing to put in some volunteer hours or get their hands dirty in the future, this is the presentation where they can learn to be the most effective in maintaining the trails."
After the IMBA representatives leave, Wright hopes that by next spring area residents can be organized and ready to start getting the trails tweaked for the summer months, he said.
"Hopefully we have a more energized volunteer base that's going to be able to work in conjunction with the Parks Department to get the trails open," Wright said. "There are also talks of Overland loops, and a continuing to work on a section of mountain bike trails called Harris Hill Extension that we have put in about 12 miles in the past six years."

report the location of a point on the screen map display. Like ARCPLOT MEASURE WHERE but reports in any projection, or PLS (township, range, section, subsection).
MEASURE2 {in_prj_source} {out_prj_source | PLS {level} {pls_cover} {pls_item}} {* | xy}
ARGUMENTS (NOTE: All arguments (except {level}, {pls_item}, and {* | xy})
are required the first time MEASURE2 is run during an Arc/Info session, but subsequently all arguments (except {* | xy}) default to their previous settings.)
{in_prj_source} - the name of the coverage/grid/file whose projection information defines the projection of the screen map units.
For instance, in ARCPLOT this might be the coverage to which the MAPEXETENT was set. And in ARCEDIT this might be the EDITCOVERAGE.
{out_prj_source} - the name of the coverage/grid/file whose projection information defines the projection in which to report the point location.
{PLS} - alternately 'PLS' can be entered to specify that the point location is to be reported as township, range, section, subsection.
For example: ** Location is: "T0340S R0060E S025","SENW", 1 **
I.e. Township 34S, Range 6E, the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 25. The '1' at the end is meaningless.
{level} - the resolution to which to report subsection.
This value can range from 0 to 9. Where 0 is section (""), 1 is quarter section (e.g. "NW"), 2 is quarter-quarter section (e.g. "SENW"), etc. 2 is the initial default.
{pls_cover} - the coverage which contains PLS section polygons.
{pls_item} - the item in the <pls_cover> PAT that identifies the township, range, and section number of each polygon.
TRS is the initial default item name.
The item values can be formatted in any way. For example: "T0340S R0060E S025" or "Township 34s, Range 6e, Section 25". The values don't even need to be Township Range and Section.
{* | xy} - specifies the location of the point to be measured.
* - specifies that the point will be entered interatively using the mode set by the COORDINATE command. By default, the screen cursor will be used.
xy - specifies the x,y coordinates of the point. These coordinates are given in map units. Separate the two coordinate values with a blank space.
- MEASURE2 runs from the ARCEDIT, ARCPLOT, and GRID modules of ARC/INFO.
- MAPEXTENT must be set before MEASURE2 can be run.
MEASURE2 returns the location of a point entered by the user on the screen map display. The projection of the value is determined by the {out_prj_source}, or optionally can be expressed as a PLS description (township, range, section, subsection). The value is both displayed to the terminal, and stored to the global variable: .MEASURE2$LOCATION.
LOCATIONS NOT ALWAYS LEGALLY CORRECT - The subsection code given to each input point (e.g. "SENW") is the subsection of the section polygon within which the point falls. Which subsection this is is determined by means of proportional subdivision. However, proportional subdivision is not always the 'legally' correct way of subdividing sections. For instance, sections along the north and west sides of townships are usually not exactly 640 acres in size and 'legally' should not be proportionally subdivided. The quarter-quarter sections along the north and west sides of the township are usually 'lots' and are usually not the same size as the other quarter-quarter sections, otherwise known as aliquot parts.
However, the PLS option is designed not to follow 'legal' rules, but instead to mimic how most people have used the PLS system as a general locational tool, as apposed to a legal tool.
READING THE SUBSECTION CODE - In the example "T0340S R0060E S025","SENW" the subsection code is "SENW". This means the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of the section. In other words, the input point was somewhere within the quarter-quarter section marked with an 'x' below:
|__|__| |
| |x | |
| | |
| | |
Arcplot: &run measure2
Usage: MEASURE2 {in_prj_source} {out_prj_source |
PLS {level} {pls_cover} {pls_item}} {* | xy}
The first time that MEASURE2 is run during an Arc/Info session all arguments, except {level} and {pls_item} are required. Here's an example using the {out_prj_source} option:
Arcplot: &run measure2 firemap geo_dms.prj
Enter point
** Location is: -122 24 54.838246 42 29 10.343619 **
Subsequently none of the arguments are required:

iPhone has very amazing user interface which has created a huge fan following among smartphone users. Android is also a very interactive OS but there are still some features in iPhone which Android has yet to compete with. If you have an Android phone and are bored by the default lock-screen you use this cool app Magic Locker Screen to get iPhone style lock-screen.
Although the developer has promised more future options but currently in Magic Locker Screen you will have only two themes available for the lock-screen.
1. iPhone Lockscreen
This one is a very convincing theme for your Lockscreen, which looks exactly like the real thing. When you plug your phone into charging the screen shows a charging battery. The only thing that makes the difference visible are the status bar which remains unchanged, and the unread message notification just below the clock.
2. The Lost Robot skin.
This is another cool skin which is not a copy of something else but gives a new and unique look to your Lockscreen. It features a three way unlock shortcuts to different Apps of your device. You can drag the unlock button down to unlock to your home screen, right for Messaging and left to unlock to the Dialer.
To replace your default lockscreen to one of the two mentioned you just have to Download and Install the free App from the link given below. To activate it go to MagicLauncher Setting, check the Enable MagicLocker
option and then select one of the two themes you desire.
However we would like to mention that while testing we detected some bugs as the App becomes unresponsive sometimes. If your Lockscreen becomes unresponsive you can unlock it by hitting the Home or Back button and you should be able to unlock your device. If the system still remains unresponsive try hitting Power button twice. You can also disble the App by going to Menu > Settings.

Loretta Ferguson walked a few miles down St. Clair Avenue on Saturday with a white blindfold over her eyes, sometimes smiling, sometimes with a stern look on her face.
When some of the more than 100 people who followed her during a march asked Ferguson about it, the co-founder of Mothers Working Against Youth Violence didn't say much.
The reason wasn't revealed until she stepped onto a stage set up on a grassy patch across from Glenville High School. She stood with the mothers of Asteve "Cookie" Thomas, Brandon Marshall, Carlton Bland III and other mothers who have lost their children to violence in Cleveland.
"We walk around our community with blinders on like we don't know anything," Ferguson said to a crowd of supporters. "It's time to take the blinders off."
Ferguson, who formed the group after her 18-year-old son was shot and killed by police when they found him in a stolen car, asked the community to rally together against violence in Cleveland.
A large crowd, including a school drum line, praise dancers, beeping cars, several Cleveland City council members and families who carried posters of lost loved ones, was escorted by police during a procession that moved along St. Clair Avenue from East 152nd to East 113th streets.
"It's time for the mothers to wake up," Ferguson told the crowd. "It's our sons who are destroying the community."
Dozens of passing drivers beeped horns in support during the march and business operators walked out of their shops to see what was going on. Many participants donned T-shirts that had pictures of their loved ones.
Amber Wadley, a stylist at Precious Phantasee's on St. Clair, stood outside the hair salon as people marched by. She said she supported the effort.
"I was happy to see the turnout, and it was good to see people come together," Wadley, 31, said. "It's a lot to be a mother and a woman, but I think more men need to be fathers to these boys and show them how to be men."
Cleveland City Council member Roosevelt Coats, in whose ward was held, said everyone has a responsibility to "say no to the smallest hint of violence" and said the community has to work together stop it.
Kevin Bell, a community activist who spoke during the event, said the hard work would come after the march. He said the women were brave for sharing their stories at the rally.
"God is not going to answer our prayers to stop violence until we do something our damn selves out here," he said. "We have to keep this going. We can't go home and forget what happened today."

SPARTA — Before the Kentucky Speedway was a 100,000-seat auto racing venue, it was 1,000 acres of rolling farmland nestled in the heart of Gallatin County.
For Pam Mylor, it was also home. The Warsaw native and her high school sweetheart, Marty, built a house and spent nearly three decades raising their two children on that land, part of which was owned by her husband's family.

Holding the church to its standard
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-2
So often this particular passage of scripture is taken out of context. If the worldly know no other scripture they know the first three words of Matthew 7:1; "Do not judge." It has become the mantra of all who want to live without standards. Sorry, but when standards become a constantly shifting melange, like we see in society today, there is no standard. You may call it enlightenment, but I just see what Paul saw in his warning to Timothy. "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." (2 Timothy 4:3)
This scripture, or I should say these three words, have been used frequently to attack the church for some of its moral and ethical stands. Understand though, Matthew is not offering an indictment against making judgments but rather a warning that the same standards you apply will be applied to you. In that context, some of the attacks are justified. In other words, if we who call ourselves Christians are going to use the Bible to determine how life should be lived, then we must live it or be condemned by it. Yes, we are under grace, meaning God's unmerited favor, but grace is not a license to sin or to be a hypocrite. If we who are followers of the Messiah are still struggling with sin, how can we expect those who are not followers to live up to what we find difficult? Our reason for struggle is the same as that of the world. For in truth Paul was not speaking of society in general in his warning to Timothy, he was speaking of the church!
We need to get back to what church is really all about, not what we have made it. "But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment." (1 Corinthians 11:31) We, unlike the world, have the right standard but the wrong approach. We who are called salt and light must become salt and light. Knowing that salt in a wound stings and light exposes things many will not want to see. Yet salt helps to heal and things exposed can be corrected.
"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." (Ephesians 4:11-16)
We've got a lot of work to do, church, so let's all get it done.

Michigan sophomore forward Mitch McGary became the fourth U-M player all-time to be named to the Associated Press preseason All-American team on Monday.
McGary joined Oklahoma State sophomore point guard Marcus Smart, a unanimous selection, Creighton senior Doug McDermott, Louisville senior Russ Smith and Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins.
McGary appeared on 34 of 65 ballots, the lowest of the five-man team.
Since the Associate Press began naming a preseason All-American team in 1986-87, three other Michigan players have earned the distinction -- Gary Grant in 1987-88, Chris Webber in 1992-93 and Trey Burke in 2012-13. Manny Harris also received votes in 2008-09.
McGary has missed Michigan's entire preseason with what the university has deemed a "lower back condition. He said at last week's Big Ten Media Day that there is still no timeline for his return.
As a freshman a year ago, McGary gradually broke into the Michigan rotation before blossoming into a star in the postseason. He averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds in six NCAA tournament games.
Smart won last year's Wayman Tisdale Award as the country's top freshman and averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 steals.
McDermott, a two-time first-team All-America, averaged 23.2 points and 7.7 rebounds a year ago and landed on all but two ballots.
Smith, who led Louisville to its national championship victory over Michigan in April, averaged 18.7 points and 2.9 assists in 2012-13 and received 52 All-American votes.
Wiggins appeared on 42 ballots and became the second freshman preseason All-American ever, joining Harrison Barnes of North Carolina in 2010-11.
The Associated Press' 2013-14 preseason All-America team, with school, height, year and votes from a 65-member national media panel (key 2012-13 statistics in parentheses):
Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, 6-4, sophomore, 65 votes (15.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 4,2 apg, 3.0 spg)
Doug McDermott, Creighton, 6-8, senior, 63 (23.2 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 54.8 fg pct, 49.0 3-pt pct)
Russ Smith, Louisville, 6-0, senior, 52 (18.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.9 apg, 80.4 ft fg pct)
Andrew Wiggins, Kansas, 6-8, freshman, 42 (HS: 23.4 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 4.3 apg, 58.0 fg pct)
Mitch McGary, Michigan, 6-10, sophmore, 34 (7.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 59.8 fg pct)
Others receiving votes (alphabetical): Isaiah Austin, Arizona State; Jahii Carson, Arizona State; Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky; Aaron Craft, Ohio State; Cleanthony Early, Wichita State; C.J. Fair, Syracuse; Aaron Gordon, Arizona; Gary Harris, Michigan State; Joe Harris, Virginia; Rodney Hood, Duke; Roy Devyn Marble, Iowa; James Michael McAdoo, North Carolina; Jabari Parker, Duke; Adreian Payne, Michigan State; Julius Randle, Kentucky; James Young, Kentucky.
Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Manny Harris was a preseason All-American in 2008-09. Harris only received votes and did not appear on the All-American team. This story has been edited to reflect the correction.

Ypsilanti officials are looking into claims that apartment complexes are telling tenants not to call the police because management will be billed and then pass the cost down to the renters.
Interim Ypsilanti Police Chief Tony DeGiusti said a student informed him of the issue, after Eastern Michigan University football player Demarius Reed was found at 7:15 a.m. last Friday shot to death in the hallway of a building in a University Green complex in the 700 block of West Clark Road.
Since the homicide, three EMU students have been assaulted by a group of men in complexes along the Leforge corridor.
"He advised me that some of the management in the off-campus housing has told their tenants not to call the police when they have a problem and the reason was they would bill the management and then pass that cost down to the renters," DeGiusti said Tuesday during a forum at EMU.
DeGiusti said if residents were told that, then they've been "misled."
"That is a lie," DeGiusti said. "I have no idea where they would get such an impression, but I can assure you that we do not send bills for police services to landlords."
Jaclyn Robinson, managing partner of JT Marketing Group who represents University Green, said the property management team has not advised its residents to not speak with the police.
"That is absolutely not the case at University Green Apartments," Robinson said. "We have already sent out a letter to our residents encouraging them to call 911 in case of emergency or to report any suspicious activities and/or crimes. The safety of our residents remains our number concern and priority."
Representatives from Huron View Apartments and Peninsular Place Apartments did not return calls seeking comment.
DeGiusti and City Manager Ralph Lange said they will reach out to the local complexes. City officials declined to say which apartments the student complained about.
"The police department will be reaching out to those landlords we suspect are telling people this in the very near future, to ensure that they are not influencing tenants to not report things to the police departments," DeGiusti said.
Lange said the idea that students and residents have not called police because they thought they would get billed is "awful."
"... It might have led to the culture of people not calling after hearing gun shots," Lange said. "The whole statement that they were told not to call the police came directly from a student. We were so appalled at that."
DeGiusti said Tuesday during an EMU forum, six people heard gunshots the night Reed was killed and there was a report of a fight in the parking lot of the University Green apartments.
Lange reiterated that discussions are taking place with the owners of various complexes, including University Green Apartments and Peninsular Place Apartments.
Lange said no idea is off the table, including the possibility of the city installing security cameras and creating an ordinance that could potentially require certain security measures at complexes of a certain size.
"You could do it by a certain class of property," Lange said. "Cameras aren't going to solve the problems all by themselves. It's a lot of things. Everyone is stepping up and everyone making improvements, that makes the most sense."
Although the discussions are taking place, Lange said nothing is concrete yet -- especially if the complex owners willingly increase measures.
"If the people cooperate voluntarily, we don't need to pass more laws because all the property owners don't have these problems," he said. "If they cooperate, that's the fastest and quickest way to do something."
If owners don't cooperate, Lange said the city would then have to take "legislative" steps.
"That's when council comes in," Lange said. "Do we have an ordinance on the books for the next meeting? No. That's going to take time and we want to be ahead of that. We're hoping people understand the seriousness of this."

North Bergen said they have found a suspected drug lab inside a 27th Street apartment where the tenant possessed numerous drugs and equipment that could be made to use crystal meth.
Lt. Patrick Irwin said police entered a first-floor apartment near Kennedy Boulevard last night after reports of water leaking into the residence, and there the officers found the tenant, Leonardo Pons, 31, and visitor Jasmin Assad, 33. Police reports indicate they were both disoriented, Irwin said.
An officer saw a glass pipe commonly used for smoking drugs, along with a white powdered substance believed to be cocaine on a living-room table, according to Irwin. Pons and Assad were both removed from the scene and arrested, he said.
Officers found numerous drugs, including what is believed to be cocaine, heroin and crystal meth, as well as prescription pills such as Xanax, according to Irwin.
Police also found equipment that could potentially be used to make crystal meth, as well as containers of fluid identified as a mixture of gasoline and water, leading to an evacuation of the building's first-floor residents, Irwin said.
North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue and a Jersey City Fire Department hazmat team responded. The hazmat team cleared the building at 3:35 a.m. and the building's other first-floor tenants were allowed back in.
Pons was charged yesterday with seven drug charges and Assad, of Egg Harbor, was charged with possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Irwin.

Wooden Bark Charger
Reviewed by 2 customers
Comments about Wooden Bark Charger:
These chargers are stunningly beautiful and exactly what I was looking for to create a rustic, but contemporary, table setting. The only issue is the smell. I had to leave them in the garage for over a month until the smell subsided a bit. And even with all that, when I pick up the chargers, the smell transmits to my hand. I would never serve food on them, however, they're perfect for a table setting as chargers (where the food is actually placed on a plate). I ordered six chargers and would order more if I could get rid of the overpowering smell.
Comments about Wooden Bark Charger:
The only thing I didn't care for was the smoky smell...as if it had been treated with fake smoke smell

Cascade Community Cleanup returns April 13
MARYSVILLE — For the third year in a row, the Cascade Elementary campus will be benefiting from volunteer labor through the Cascade Community Cleanup, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 13.
"I personally started this three years ago, when a few mothers and I were just saddened by the school's cutbacks and lack of TLC for the campus," said event organizer Laura Berry. "We started the Cascade Community Cleanup to get the community involved in helping us make the school less of an eyesore, to give our children a school to be proud of."
According to Berry, the Cascade Community Cleanup crew has a number of items on its list of things in need of repair, but she believes that, with the community pitching in, they can accomplish those tasks together.
For more information, contact Berry by phone at 425-315-3993 or via email at email@example.com.

Auditor General's Report March 2010
The province's auditor general warns that children in Newfoundland and Labrador are at increased danger of physical and sexual abuse because not enough monitoring is being done of children in high-risk environments.
John Noseworthy's report, released today, reviewed 46 case files from the province's Protective Intervention Program (PIP) spanning January 2005 to December 2009. The report determined that under long-term protection (LTP) guidelines, 464 risk assessment instruments — which help determine the likelihood of harm to a child — should have been used on those 46 files, but just 48 (10.3 per cent) were done. There were also 464 "family-centred action plans" — designed to outline family interaction, with the help of a social worker, to reduce the risk of harm to children — required, but just 27 were done (5.8 per cent).

- Policy not followed on teacher hires: AG
- AG sounds alarm for high-risk children
As a result of issues with the delivery and monitoring of the LTP component of the PIP there was an increased risk that harm may occur to children," wrote Noseworthy in the report.
The report noted that of those 46 files, 17 of them didn't have a single risk-assessment instrument completed, while 28 of them didn't have a single family-centred action plan completed.

• When: Monday, April 14th. How to register: Go to FJGA.org or pick-up a registration form at King Par Golf in Flushing or IMA Brookwood in Burton.
• Costs: $50 for 5-hole golfers (boys and girls ages 8-11); $60 for 9-hole (boys 14 and under and girls 15 and under); $85 for 18-hole players (boys and girls 18 and under)
• Benefits: Scholarship awards, eight preseason golf clinics, eight weeks of golf on some of the Flint-area's top courses, medals for winners in all divisions, tickets to Buick Open Clinic and more.
And with the changing of the season comes another chance to get your kids on the golf course again, or for the very first time.
The Flint Junior Golf Association, one of the oldest and most prestigious youth sports programs in the nation, begins its 69th season this June. But do not wait until then to get your weekday warriors signed up.
Online registration for the 2008 season starts Monday at www.FJGA.org.
"This is one of the jewel youth programs in the community," said Loyd Walter, FJGA director. "We've been around for 69 years and the community really embraces us. We get a lot of stuff given to us by people in the community, so what you get for the money is tremendous."
The price tags of $50, $60 and $85 dollars for the five, nine and 18 holes divisions, respectively, remain from last season. This is important, according to Walter, because of the difficult economic times in Michigan and in the Flint-area, specifically.
"We are always optimistic about how many kids are going to come out to play," said Walter, who shepherded 1130 players in the program in 2007, his first year as director. "We seem to be hit the hardest here by the down economy. We just do not know how parents are going to use that discretionary income. So that's always in the back of your mind.
"But the bang for your dollar, compared to any other program in the area, is well worth it."
As always, junior golfers will have the opportunity to play the best courses the Flint-area has to offer including Warwick Hills, the home of the Buick Open.
The only change of any significance to the FJGA in 2008 is the schedule, and the traditional first week of July furlough.
This season, golfers will compete from June 16th right through until the end of July with no breaks to accommodate the American Junior Golf Association's Randy Wise Junior Open at Spring Meadows in Linden the following week.
"Usually we have a one week shutdown around the fourth of July, but we had to make the decision to change that," said Walter. "If we had not made the change we would have had some kids not playing in our finals because we had about five or six kids playing in the (Randy Wise) tournament last year."
Several Randy Wise Junior Open alums will return to the top flight in 2008, highlighted by seniors Michael Coriasso and Nick Sears of Grand Blanc and Powers, respectively.
Coriasso was the only Flint-area boy to finish in the top 10 last season at the Flint Elks Club while Sears finished in 29th.
Joining the pair is Kearsley sophomore Jon Walraven, who opened his 2008 high school season with a sparkling 32 at Tyrone Hills in Fenton earlier this month.
The girls' side is equally impressive with the return of junior Michelle Hall of Flushing, senior Lauren Campbell of Fenton and juniors Allison Sears and Ashley Swanson of Powers.
