Monday Morning Quarterback: The Good, The Bad Of Week 4
The Good
The Bad
New England PatriotsAtlanta Falcons
Tom Brady threw for 316 yards as his offensive line gave him sufficient time to complete key third-down throws. Brady threw two TD passes as he led the Pats to the road win that allow them to remain undefeated.
Matt Ryan nearly always puts good numbers on the board and that was the case against the Pats as he threw for 421 yards and two touchdowns. However, that was not good enough to get the Falcons a much-needed home win and they are now 1-3.
San Diego ChargersDallas Cowboys
While Peyton Manning is commanding most of the AFC West headlines, Philip Rivers is also playing sensational football this season. Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns in the impressive victory over the Cowboys.
There was nothing wrong with Tony Romo's numbers either for the Cowboys as he threw for 244 yards and two TDs while avoiding any interceptions. However, he could not rally his team against an opponent that seemed beatable going into the game.
Washington RedskinsOakland Raiders
Robert Griffin III finally got his team in the win column, but there is still something missing from his game as his three carries for 10 yards indicates. He did throw for 227 yards and the go-ahead touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon in the third quarter.
Matt Flynn was not terrible as he took over from Terrelle Pryor and threw for 227 yards and a touchdown with one interception. However, Flynn lacked the special qualities that would have allowed the Raiders to come up with the victory.
Denver BroncosPhiladelphia Eagles
Another game and another flawless performance from Peyton Manning. It seems like the Broncos' offense is just in a different class this year as Manning torched the Eagles for 327 yards and four touchdowns.
The Eagles were in over their heads against the Broncos and that includes Michael Vick, who threw for 248 yards and he did not throw a touchdown pass. On the positive side, Vick did not throw an interception.
Tennessee TitansNew York Jets
Jake Locker appeared to be turning the corner before our eyes. He was sharp against the Jets and completed 18-of-24 passes with three touchdowns and no interceptions. However, he was forced out of the game with a hip injury and Ryan Fitzpatrick had to take over for him.
Geno Smith threw for 289 yards and is a more competent leader than Mark Sanchez, but that's not good enough. He threw two interceptions and two fumbles and there's a certain panic to his game that will make it difficult for the Jets to win games.
Arizona CardinalsTampa Bay Buccaneers
After struggling for three-plus quarters, Carson Palmer helped rally the Cardinals to the road victory as he threw a 13-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald to tie the score in the fourth quarter following Patrick Peterson's first interception. Palmer completed 21-of-38 passes for 248 yards.
Mike Glennon took over for the Bucs at quarterback in place of the shaky Josh Freeman and he had them in a position to win until he threw two awful fourth-quarter interceptions that allowed the Cardinals to rally for the road victory.
Minnesota VikingsPittsburgh Steelers
The Vikings finally got a win and it came with Matt Cassel at quarterback instead of punchless Christian Ponder. Cassel completed 16-of-25 passes for 248 yards with two touchdowns and he did not throw an interception. He needs to remain the starter if the Vikings are going to rebound from their poor start.
The struggle continues for Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers. While there are many problems in the Steel City, especially the defense, Roethlisberger needs to get off to faster starts so the Steelers can dictate the pace and get off to an early lead.
Kansas City ChiefsNew York Giants
It's clear that the Chiefs have gotten a major upgrade from Alex Smith, who continues to take what the defense has given him. Smith threw 288 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs pulled away from the Giants in the second half.
The frustration continues to grow for Eli Manning and the winless Giants. Manning completed just 18-of-37 passes and he was under pressure throughout much of the game. Dating back to last year, the Giants have lost nine of their last 12 games.
Indianapolis ColtsJacksonville Jaguars
Andrew Luck's confidence is sky-high, as it looks like he believes that it's just a matter of time before the Colts take over any game. Luck threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, while the threat of him running the ball occupied the Jacksonville defense's mind throughout the game.
Blaine Gabbert gets to line up under center, but he does not belong there. Gabbert could not dent the endzone and he threw three interceptions and does not appear to have much of a clue what he is doing for a very poor team.
Seattle SeahawksHouston Texans
Russell Wilson did not fill up the stat sheet for the Seahawks, throwing for 123 yards and an interception. However, he found a way to get it done with his running ability in the fourth quarter as he kept drives alive with his quick feet and intelligence. Matt Schaub threw for 355 yards and two TDs against the powerful defense.
Schaub made a brutal mistake when he threw an awful interception midway through the fourth quarter that Richard Sherman took back to the endzone. Schaub's persona shrunk after that error and he was unable to lead the Texans to a win they really needed.
Detroit LionsChicago Bears
It wasn't a perfect performance for Matthew Stafford, but he threw for 242 yards and a stellar touchdown to Calvin Johnson. Stafford and running back Reggie Bush had the Bears defense on its heels most of the game.
The "new and improved" Jay Cutler was neither of those things against the Lions, as he was a turnover machine with three interceptions and one lost fumble. Stafford had one interception and had two fumbles himself, one of which the Bears recovered as he was crossing the goal line for a touchdown.
Cleveland BrownsCincinnati Bengals
If this is a dream, don't bother waking up Brian Hoyer. The former third-string quarterback completed 25-of-38 passes and torched the Bengals defense for 269 yards and two touchdowns. He did not throw an interception.
The Bengals are supposed to be one of the AFC's best teams, but you wouldn't know it by their performance against the Browns. Andy Dalton has not looked special in any game this year and he could not throw one touchdown pass against Cleveland.
Buffalo BillsBaltimore Ravens
E.J. Manuel became the first rookie quarterback to defeat a reigning Super Bowl champion. While he did not have a stellar day, he did enough early on to help the Bills build a lead and then hold on against the Ravens.
Joe Flacco has a proven reputation as a playoff quarterback, but what about the regular season? While that's somewhat facetious, Flacco threw five interceptions against the Bills and looked like he was the rookie quarterback.
San Francisco 49ersSt. Louis Rams
The 49ers got off their brief but notable two-game losing streak with a one-sided win over the Rams. Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes and did not throw an interception.
Sam Bradford struggled quite a bit against the 49er defense and his decision making was poor as he completed just 19-of-41 passes. While Kaepernick got the win, 167 passing yards and 11 rushing yards are not impressive totals.

UPLAND - The City's Fire Department is again operating without a fire chief.
Interim Fire Chief Dave Carrier's contract ends at the end of December, but city officials are waiting to hire a permanent chief until an agreement is reached with employee groups on concessions.
"We have a candidate, and we were kind of in a mode of if we get all labor to come to terms then the whole outsourcing issue will probably disappear," said City Manager Stephen Dunn.
All seven city employee groups have made offers that city officials are reviewing.
Police Chief Jeff Mendenhall will head the Fire Department in the meantime.
In November, the city asked the labor groups to pay their share of their pension to help free up money in the city budget.
The city is estimated to save about $1.3 million to their general fund budget if the groups agree to the concessions.
If an agreement cannot be reached with all groups on concessions, the Dunn will bring forward his recommendation on outsourcing to the City Council.
"I feel pretty confident that labor will come through," he said. "Timing-wise, if the outsourcing issue goes away, then we want to be in a position to bring in a chief right away."
Former Fire Chief Michael Antonucci retired in September 2011.
The city hired retired Ontario Fire Chief Dave Carrier in May to work through the end of this month.
Carrier retired from Ontario after 36 years in fire service, 31 of which were spent in Ontario.
Since Carrier was officially retired, the amount of hours he could work for Upland were restricted.
Carrier said his time with Upland has been a rewarding journey.
"We've obviously dealt with some difficult economic decisions, but through working with good people, teamwork we can get anything done," he said. "That's the key component - is that we have a great team here not only in the fire department but in the city."

Ten ways to make spring awesome
Spring is back in New York! Make this your best one yet with our tips on how to find the best cleaning services, choose spring flowers and be the hero at your next picnic.
1 Tackle spring cleaning
Hey, you—hibernating in that pile of dirty laundry. The sunshine pouring in through your window means it's time to buckle down and clear away the cobwebs (not to mention all that crap on your floor). Stock up on eco-friendly Mrs. Meyer's cleaning supplies from Village Farm & Grocery and get scrubbing.
2 Don't waste time on laundry—have it picked up and delivered
The last place you want to be on a brilliant spring afternoon is at a laundromat, watching socks suffer through the spin cycle. Save yourself the trouble with by-the-pound Wash & Fold service from Symphony Cleaners in midtown, Next Cleaners in the Village or Clean Chic Cleaners in Brooklyn. They'll pick up and drop off your duds at a time of your choosing, fully folded, so you can spend your time doing something much more awesome.
3 Shave off the winter beard
Finally, you no longer have to insulate your face against the cold winds screaming down the avenues. Get rid of the winter chin tickler with upscale grooming supplies from MiN New York, like Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac Shave Cream, a Silver Tip Ivory Handle Shave Brush and Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Aftershave to finish it off. Now don't you look handsome.
4 Break the junk-food cycle
It's easy to stuff your face with artery-clogging comfort foods when it's freezing outside, but now that it's warm, maybe it's time to get those toxins out of your system and start fresh. Try out a juice cleanse from the wellness experts at the Squeeze, delivered right to your door. Opt for the 6-day Soft Squeeze or the 30-day Main Squeeze if you're feeling ambitious.
5 Be the hero of your picnic
Don't be that guy (or girl) who rolls up at a picnic with soggy baloney sandwiches. Before you head to the park, get tasty warm-weather eats from local favorites. Imagine all the high fives you'll get if you show up with a bucket of spicy Buffalo wings from Atomic Wings or hot dogs from Crif Dogs. So many high fives.
6 Have wine or beer ready to go for the party
You've got a breezy rooftop shindig to make an entrance at, and no time to stop for booze along the way. Brooklynites can check out Pier Wines; beer lovers can order from Astoria's Tri-Boro Beverage, where you can order bottles, cans or kegs.
7 Skip the brunch lines
The Sunday-morning-hangover crowds emerge in droves on spring Sundays for a late (real late) breakfast, meaning you often get stuck with an hour-long wait for a table. Invite your buds to your place instead and get brunch delivered from the Upper West Side's Sugar and Plumm. Try weekend-AM delicacies like a Cajeta caramel waffle or eggs benedict with house-smoked salmon. Brooklynites can order in from Lodge, which offers options like an herb-marinated hangar steak with eggs.
8 Scream for ice cream
Nothing goes with warm temperatures quite like the creamy cold stuff. And why wait around for the Good Humor truck to go ringing by when you can get scoops sent straight to you? Try yogurt from Pinkberry with all the toppings you desire, or all-natural popsicles from PopBar in flavors like dark-chocolate-dipped banana gelato and kiwi sorbet. Consumption while sunning yourself on your front stoop recommended.
9 Fill your apartment with fresh flowers
So you don't have a yard to plant a garden in. Who wants to get their hands dirty, anyway? Order a bouquet (or three) of fragrant blooms from Flowers by Richard, and fill your living room with color. Opt for the Easter-egg-colored Garden Basket or the ever-changing Seasonl Potpourri. You don't even have to wait for the April showers to pass!
10 Throw a fiesta
Okay, so it isn't quite Mexico-warm here in New York, but you can approximate that South of the Border vibe with a well-placed piñata and plenty of salsa. Get the margaritas flowing and order up tacos, quesadillas and guacamole from San Fran–style Mexican spot Blockheads. Or try a carne asada quesadilla from Dos Toros. ¡Olé!

The Brevard College men's soccer team returns home to battle King University in a nonconference matchup Saturday at 4 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
• BC fell at Belmont Abbey Wednesday, 3-1, to even out its record to 1-1-0. The Tornados drew first blood quickly following a goal by Ryan McPhillips in the 5th minute to take an early advantage. However, Belmont Abbey responded with three unanswered goals to seal the victory.
• Freshman Rhem Stubbs was tabbed South Atlantic Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week following his two-goal performance against Erskine last Saturday. Stubbs put the Tornados up 1-0 in the 40th minute before nailing the game-winner in the 116th minute.
• McPhillips has performed well in the early goings of the 2013 campaign by scoring a goal and gathering an assist in two matches. Marcelo Betcer leads the squad with eight shots while Paulo Silva has amassed five.
• This marks the first meeting for the two teams since at least 2008.
• King is 0-2-1 on the season. The two losses have been via shutout to Lee (1-0) and Tusculum (3-0). The Tornado fell to Tusculum Wednesday after allowing a pair of goals in the span of 32 seconds.
• BC head coach and Athletic Director Juan Mascaro enters his seventh season at the helm for the Tornados.
• Offensively, along with Betcer, Jami Uuttu looks to pace the squad after tying for the team lead in assists with two. Uuttu is one of three seniors on the BC roster along with Pauli Jussila and midfielder Adam Martin. Martin was one of six players to see action in all 16 matches during the 2012 season while attempting seven shots.
• Brevard was tabbed to finish 12th in the 2013 preseason coaches' poll in the South Atlantic Conference while nationally-ranked No. 12 Wingate earned the top spot.

5 Ways to Reach a Healthy Weight
Article Translations: (Spanish)
5 Ways to Reach (and Maintain!) a Healthy Weight
Diets aren't the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That's because they create temporary eating patterns — and, therefore, temporary results. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits.
So what's the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal!
Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are 5 ways to make that happen:
- Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle — both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even when you aren't exercising.
- . One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an increase in "screen time" — the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you're with friends at the mall, you're getting more exercise than if you're texting them from your room.
- Watch out for portion distortion. Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. So choose smaller portions (or share restaurant portions) and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.
- Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just vitamins and minerals. They're also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. And when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you're less likely to overeat.
- Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast. In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs than people who eat breakfast.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Besides the backyard gardeners in Lakewood and the M Streets, Redenta's Nursery also helps residents of the Lower Greenville area's new townhomes and apartments make balcony-friendly planters and windowboxes. For $55 to $125 you can go home with a fully planted and meticulously prepared container made of lightweight plastic that looks like heavier terra cotta pottery. In it will be something like sedum (a succulent) or graceful ornamental grasses that don't need fussing over. They sell real stone and ceramic planters too, of course, and more complicated palms and large ferns for more ambitious patio features. Nice how a little greenery makes even the smallest place feel like a home.
This is the largest REI in the state, and it's got everything you need to ride, wear, carry or sleep in for an outdoor adventure. From bikes and climbing gear to first-rate sea kayaks and ski equipment, this is a haven for any outdoors lover who's itching to get out of Dodge. Even if you're not looking for the latest MSR PocketRocket stove or the warmest and lightest Marmot jacket, you'll find comfortable, stylish clothing that withstands the worst of the elements. For men, there are sexy, fashionable Patagonia button-ups and cargo pants. Women will find a wide selection of tanks, skirts, shorts and dresses by great labels such as Prana. Become a member and you get a refund at the end of the year.
Not that the rotating red and white barber's pole out front isn't enough of a clue, but once you walk inside Razor's Edge Barber Shop, there's no mistaking it for anything but a modern take on an old-fashioned men's clip joint. Not the intimidating kind where they tell you how they're gonna cut your locks. Or one of those new men's salons where you have to endure a 45-minute cut followed by a neck and shoulder rub by a breathy, over-tanned, gum-chewing hairdresser. No, this place is cozy and comfortable. The waiting room looks like a cross between a cigar shop and your grandpa's library. The décor's all dark leather with warm, walnutty woods, and there's an elevated shoe-shine bench tucked in the left side of the shop. When most men need a haircut, they just want a nice, clean trim, and for more than six years the welcoming staff at Razor's Edge has been doing just that—and only that. They don't have a comprehensive spa-like list of services. They offer a "wet cut," a "cut & shampoo" and a "hot shave" in the comfort of large, black, vintage-style barber chairs. Though, admittedly, those black chairs do seem a little Sweeney Todd when one of the barbers whips out a straight razor to give a patron a hot lather shave. So, though the shop accepts walk-ins, you may want an appointment—just to stay on their good side.
Throughout the summer of the staycation, we found ourselves up in McKinney every few weekends, even if only for breakfast at cozy Spoon's café or a walk through the Farmers Market planted among ancestral McKinney homesteads in the historic district. But a trip to The Book Gallery is an essential part of any visit, especially for the bibliophile who needs a break from poring over Half Price's estimable stacks of oldies but goodies. Encased in glass are first editions by most of the masters you can tick off in the next 20 seconds; we've long coveted the Hemingways and Fitzgeralds and Wrights and Salingers and Dickens...eseses in desperate need of our liberation and affection. They're not too pricey either; we just spend our hard-earned pennies on the estimable collection of Dallas-related books nestled in the local-interest section near the back of the shop. Here's where we picked up Lon Tinkle's essential The Key to Dallas, as well as a first-edition of the Dallas Historical Society's 1978 coffee-table book Dallas Rediscovered: A Photographic Chronicle of Urban Expansion, 1870-1925.
Hmm. Tough call. You got your blond woods and Southwestern-looking pastels at Borders. You got your darker woods and warmer feel at Barnes & Noble. And you got pretty much the same damn books, magazines and CDs at any location of the massive chains. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, we say. So instead of picking just one, this year we're giving the prize to a 'hood, Preston Hollow, where a fairly new Barnes & Noble sits catty-corner to a redecorated Borders at Royal Lane and Preston Road. Nothing like a little cutthroat corporate competition between the homogenized purveyors of cultural commodities, we say. Any day now we expect to see highly literate gang tags sprouting up on walls, sprayed there by the competing staffs. Maybe a little Jets and Sharks action between khaki-wearing booksellers too. The best part is, if one store happens to be out of the latest title you crave, it's only a short drive—for God's sake, don't walk—between them, and there's a Starbucks right smack in the middle.
Their name says it. There's nothing like these big, soft, chewy cookies, delivered in elegant gift boxes topped with a Tiffany-blue ribbon. The 2-year-old online-order company was started by mother-daughter team Lynn Berman (who still bakes the goods) and Sara Berman Popek. When Sara had twins, Mom brought more than 1,000 homemade cookies to the hospital, earning fans among the staff and other new mommies. A big hit as client gifts, the company bakes hundreds of dozens daily in Mom's North Dallas home oven, all with no preservatives and no corn syrup. Orders are shipped within 24 hours with a reasonable delivery fee depending on destination. Our fave is the oatmeal, a lacy confection that begs for posh tea. Why send just a card? Order a box of these babies next time you need a quick gift. And get one for yourself. It'll be our secret.

As a restaurant owner, you have to offset the demands of being an entrepreneur with the needs of your clientele, a balancing act that is both a requirement and a challenge. So when the time comes to revamp your menu – due to seasonal requirements, cost considerations, or time constraints – follow prescribed guidelines on how to do it, and – most important – don't forget your customers, many of whom will vote with their feet if that menu change isn't handled correctly.
Did you know that there are now 80 million Millennials in the U.S.? This group of individuals born between 1982 and 2000 now outnumbers the Baby Boomers — previously holder of the title, "Largest Generation Ever"– and makes up a full quarter of the nation's population, according to the United Census Bureau.
Transforming one-time consumers into loyal restaurant customers is a key to success for most businesses. This holds particularly true for restaurants, and yet can be even harder to achieve due to the challenging combination of the increasingly competitive industry and today's informed, empowered diners.
When the weather outside is frightful, there's nothing like a hot steaming bowl of soup. But did you know that summer is a smart season for soup?
How popular are food trucks these days? Smithsonian Magazine recently declared America to be a " food truck nation." According to Mobile-Cuisine, meanwhile, there are currently 4,130 food trucks in the US generating annual total revenue of $1.2 billion — a 12.4 percent increase over the past five years.

While embracing your sense of social responsibility is reason enough to give back to your local community, doing so also comes with an ancillary benefits for restaurants which make charitable efforts part of their strategies.
The National Restaurant Association declared "sustainable seafood" to be number nine on its list of the "Top 20 Food Trends" for 2016. Also making the cut? "Locally sourced meats and seafood," as well as "environmental sustainability".
All three add up to one major takeaway for forward-thinking restaurant owners and managers. If you're not aiming to show off your commitment to serving up sustainable seafood, you're falling short of fulfilling some key requirements among today's diners.
No one walks into opening a restaurant on a whim. In fact, many restaurant owners constantly have abysmal restaurants failure rates ringing in their ears.
We've all heard the expression, "You eat with your eyes." And while your diners aren't going to chow down on an actual menu design anytime soon, the look of your menus can not only make or break what diners order but also weigh into their overall dining experience.

The big inning can turn around things in a hurry.
For example, take the Chiefland High baseball team's March 18 game against visiting Newberry.
For three innings, young Panther lefthander Tay Ross shut down the potent Indian attack as Newberry built a three-run lead.
That was all wiped in a nightmarish fourth for Ross, as Chiefland rallied for 11 runs.
The big frame paved the way to a 13-3 Indian victory over the Panthers.
Chiefland improved to 9-1 overall and 7-0 in Class 3A District 11.

Husbands who long after the honeymoon like to be entertained will envy Asquith his Margot.
His successor was Mr. Asquith, late Chancellor of the Exchequer.
That evening I lighted a cigar and went down to sit on the outermost pile of the Asquith dock to commune with myself.
Yet Mr. Asquith did know the paper contained some falsehoods.
Mr. Asquith, both by inheritance and temperament, was designed for a strenuous life, a strenuous moral life.
Does he think that Mr. Asquith would substantially agree with that?
Mr. Asquith then read the concluding paragraph of the proclamation which appeared in these columns yesterday.
The next day I went over to the county-seat, and got back to Asquith after dark.
The truth is, I executed rather a faux pas over there at Asquith.
The possibility of being recognized at Asquith did not occur to me.

Mines awarded $2.3M NSF grant to develop Dynamic Atom Probe
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 4, 2010 – A $2.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation will allow Colorado School of Mines researchers develop a Dynamic Atom Probe – the first instrument of its kind to enable 3D imaging and chemical identification at the atomic level with ultrafast time resolution.
"The Dynamic Atom Probe we are developing will allow scientists and engineers to determine how materials behave at high temperatures and under high voltages," said Brian Gorman, assistant professor of metallurgical and materials engineering at Mines. "While we already know a lot about materials on the macro scale, this instrument will allow us to study these processes one atom at a time and at time intervals of approximately one billionth of a second."
Gorman explained that understanding materials at this level will give researchers the ability to develop next generation metal alloys that have increased strength while maintaining low weight. It will also allow them to determine the best processing parameters for the production of solar cells, ultimately enabling the development of high efficiency, low cost devices.
Similarly, the Dynamic Atom Probe will help scientists determine how electronic devices fail under extreme conditions, leading to developments to increase the lifetime and reliability of computer processors.

Because I just did. The weather was beautiful, I had a funny podcast to listen to, there wasn't too much traffic, but I just wanted to OFF MY BIKE. Instead of looking forward to my ride home after work in lovely weather, I was trying to get out of it. The way people talk sometimes, you'd think a ride cures all. IT DOESN'T. I rode on Sunday and had a wonderful time. I rode today and couldn't wait to be home. Part of the problem might be the routine- I'm bored of my usual commute home. So I don't look forward to it. So I'm gonna have to fix that, because that whole thing was unpleasant. BAH.
Do you ever have crappy rides?

There's always the potential for a not-so-amazing ride when you do the same one every time, or with commuting especially, it's more because you have to rather than because you want to (like meals sometimes). Don't sweat it too much, change your route a bit maybe. I guarantee, soon enough, you'll hear someone whining about a parking ticket or traffic and it will all come back into perspective.

Long winter delaying but not shortening allergy season
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Allergy season is well underway here in the Lowcountry. If you've spent a lot of time outside lately and needed to keep tissues on hand, it's likely you suffer form allergies to tree pollen. Unfortunately, with the delayed start to the season this year, you're going to need to keep the Kleenexes in stock.
"We had cold weather for longer than we normally do, so really all it did was delay the start of pollen season," says John Ramey, a physician at National Allergy and Asthma. If you are a life long allergy sufferer, you may have been holding out hope that the long winter would mean a more mild season. However, all the cold weather managed to do was delay the start of the misery.
"Last year we were seeing more people in January, than we did this year. This year we've really been delayed until March," observes Ramey.
Right now we are in the midst of tree pollen season. Oak trees and Wax myrtles are two of the Lowcountry's biggest allergy offenders this time of year. But the frequent rains so far this spring are trying to help out.
"We're getting a few days of reprieve with the rain. The last three days have really helped knock it down some. But over the weekend as it starts to warm up and people are doing the Cooper River Bridge run and at the the tennis tournament, I think we're going to see a lot of people have issues," says Ramey.
And although tree season was late to start this year, thanks to the cold weather, that doesn't mean it'll be any shorter. Which could be bad news for folks who are bothered by both trees and grass.
"There are a lot of people that are allergic to trees and grasses. So you're going to see more of an overlap of those seasons. So the people that have both those allergies are going to have a lot of trouble probably going into April and May this year," warns Ramey.
Ramey says there are some things you can do to help tamp down the effects of allergies. He says to limit your time outdoors during allergy season. And if you do go out, it's better to go out later in the day than it is early in the morning. When you go inside, take a shower immediately to get all of the pollen and allergens off your body and to keep them from lingering in your home. Check the pollen count daily to get an idea of how bad it's going to be outside. Long term allergy shots are a solution that can be provided by a doctor. And help with the research. The National Allergy and Asthma conducts research right here in Charleston.

Lady Gaga Shows Rio's Kids her Soccer Skills
Showing off her ball-handling skills, Lady Gaga joined some children to play soccer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Thursday (November 8).
The "Bad Romance" singer wore a colorful white dress to go with her pink hair as she kicked the ball around with her bare feet.
Having enjoyed the experience, on Thursday afternoon she tweeted, "i'll never forget Rio, you lit my heart into flames" and "we even played football, they were SO GOOD IT WAS CRAZY" with photos from the day.
Recently, the Twitter aficionado leaked a collaboration between herself and rapper Kendrick Lamar called "B___h Don't Kill My Vibe." Unfortunately, the version that will appear on her label mate's debut record will be sans Gaga.
The 26-year-old pop star tweeted, "We feel bad about killing your vibe, so here's the demo you never got to hear."

Closely resembling the Autobot Optimus Prime, Brady's look was created by Martin Izquierdo, Victoria Secret's costumer.
Smith, who has been reported to be a former security officer for the U.S. State Department, told police he shot Brady in the face.
"Getting them excited about adding a health benefit with new costs to Medicaid is not going to happen easily," admits Brady.
Brady waited for one of his buddies to jump so as to film it.
Which Brady would you actually want to spend an afternoon with?
Brady had totally disappeared from her experience; he no longer presented himself at the house.
As far as I can make it out Brady got the three other ducks.
Old King Brady had all kinds of trouble opening the thing, but at last the lid was pried back, and sure enough money was revealed.
"You are mistaken," said Old King Brady, exhibiting his badge.
"Yes, and they are going into the house," muttered Old King Brady.

Perfect bike companion
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got this repair stand to go along with my Park PRS-20. So far this stand is a lot better suited for working on newer mountain bikes with Boost and or TA setups. I've turned wrenches for 25+ years, and have used these stands in the past, and now I have my own stand to service my own fleet of bikes. It is easily setup and offers great versatility to accommodate "all" bikes. If you're looking for a "do it all" repair stand, don't look any further, do yourself a favor and pick this stand up for yourself.
Well Designed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the perfect bike stand; stable plat form, easy to transport, and a well designed quick release clamp. Highly recommend picking this up to go with your new bike; it makes cleaning and working on your bike a lot easier.
The Best Portable Stand Yet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I picked this stand up recently and so far it has not let me down. It's lightweight, easy to setup, easy to use, and feels like a quality product. It took 3 minutes to setup out of the box and no time at all to get used to, coming from a Park Tool stand. It clamps securely and quickly and the release button works well. Feedback customer service is excellent so I'd have to say this is the best stand I've tried yet. The push button release does feel the flimsiest on this stand so I'll be keeping an eye on it, but I've heard no reports on it's failure. The only downside is if you're used to a sturdy shop stand, be careful when wrenching hard in this. It's definitely not as stable as stand with heavy bases and can tip if you're slinging your wrenches too hard, but it's not designed to be that kind of stand, it's the portable option.
Exceptional Stand
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my first work stand I've purchased after using exclusively Park stands. What a major difference: easy to use, adjustable, and sturdy.
A great purchase for me.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
so ridiculously solid, you can really wrench on your bike when its in the stand. The quick adjust jaws are totally worth the upgrade, especially if you've got a few different bikes you are always putting in the stand. couldn't possibly be any better unless it came with a basket
Love this stand. Easy to use, portable and solid.
Great Stand, A Must for DIY...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This stand is very helpful when cleaning, maintenance, and is portable enough to help out on those longer weekend/trips.
Stable and Compact
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was in need of a stand and picked this one based on the reviews. It does not disappoint. Nice to have the travel bag as well. When packed up it takes up as much room as those folding camp chairs that come in tote bags. Very well made and is stable.
Intuitive and secure
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Park tool once made a head that was similar to the feedback sports but it only came on the top end team travel stand. Feedback sports has had it for the most part across all their models since the beginning and it's one thing that has set them apart. It is secure and super simple to use. Simply hold your bike up and put the seat post Inbetween the clamps, push in, and then give it a turn or two to tighten your bike in securely. Then when you are done, press the button and voila! It opens up and you can get your bike out. The rubber on the inside does a good job at not scratching your seat post, though it is a good idea to put a towel or rag around your frame if you need to clamp it around your expensive carbon frame. It folds up compactly which is also very nice and takes up very little space and it is very light weight. Sometimes depending on the bike and how you have the legs positioned, you might find that your bike might tip over. Simple fix really, just rotate the legs to the position that is the most stable for your application and then you're back in business.
I can't believe I waited this long
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just set up my new stand. I've been using the same Park stand for almost 20 years, and when I opened this up I couldn't believe it. The build/materials are absolutely top-notch. It is 10x more stable than my old stand, and 10x easier to get the bike locked in there. WAY more adjustable, lighter, and folds down into an easily stored or transported unit.
I thought i was spending a lot on this stand, but now that I have it i think it is an absolute steal. Between myself and the family, we have 9 bikes to maintain... this is going to make my life significantly easier.
If you're serious about doing your own wrenching... don't hesitate.
park tool doesn't even compare
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I upgraded from a PCS-10 to this and am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Between the ratcheting/quick-release clamp, light weight, collapsiblity, and included carry bag this makes up for the slight difference in price.
I have a KS Lev dropper post on my Cube mountain bike. Will the dropper post not be damaged if I suspend the bike at the dropper?
Hey Wil105946508,
You will want to suspend the bike from the outer post and not the inner post. Suspending the post from the inner post could damage the post.
i suspend my bike from my top tube. you could also wrap a towel around the seat tube.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I already had a perfectly good Park Tool stand- not really sure why I bought the Feedback Sports version, other than the idea of the ratcheting QR clamp really appealed to me...
Turns out that feature is fantastic! It really makes working on heavier MTB's so much more enjoyable, just because it's now so easy to clamp them up and unclamp them.
The quality of the stand is top notch, the finish is perfect. It's lightweight, but sturdy. BUY THIS STAND!
Great Bike Repair Stand!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Well, what makes this stand great?
1. Easy setup and take down - extend the legs, neck, and arm. Reverse to take back down! Easy!
2. Is sturdy and balanced - it is HEAVY DUTY! This stand means BUSINESS! My wife walked in when I first set this bad boy up to adjust my rear mech, and she thought I turned the living room into a bike shop. It's solid and there is NO sway when you need leverage to turn a pedal loose, or whatever. The quality of the stand will outlast me and my bikes.
3. Easy to get bike in/out - it has a QR button, which makes changing from all of my bikes super fast (I don't own an aero bike, so haven't tried the clamp on one of those seatposts, but works well with '14 Giant Defy, which sort of has a shaped seatpost). One word of caution here: be careful in tightening bike because I have no doubt the clamp could crush the crap out of a carbon seatpost!!
4. EXTRA EXTRA ... comes with heavy duty (ballistic nylon material) carry bag, which when folded down takes up no space at all and allows me to fit it into a small corner of my precious Manhattan sq. footage (trust me, if you live in a place where R/E costs $1,500/sq. ft., this is a MAJOR benefit)!! Also, since it's mostly unseen when not used, no complaints from the wife, and that's always good news when buying bike kit!!
Combine all those benefits with the fact that it is very competitively priced at CC / Backcountry.com, and you've got yourself a serious WINNER!! Definitely exceeds expectations!! If you're on the fence and need a bike repair stand for cleaning, repair, and maintenance, then BUY IT NOW!!
WOW Factor!
Purchased this stand a week ago. At first I almost returned it because I did not think the clamp would work on my aero seat tube, because it clamped side to side. I also looked at the Park Tool prs 25 team issue. I actually had REI pull one out of a box to compare build quality, (no wow factor) Parks clamp needs to be completely removed to transport. No bag is included w/Park stand. But I liked the clamp on the Park for my Aero seat tube.(Park clamps front to back on Aero) Then I visited four bike local shops asking them which one they would purchase if using their own money. Mind you they all offered to order in either model as they were retailers for both companies. Every one chose Feedback Sports stands. One shop actually had two Feedback clamps mounted on their commercial Park (bolted down stands) in their shop. The best part of my adventure was a bike mechanic showing me how to orientate my Feedback stand to grip my Aero seat post Front to back, instead of clamping side to side.
This stand comes with a very heavy duty protective bag for storage or travel. Plus with the $37. credit applied after delivery, you can purchase an accessory tray or other products. If you have any questions or concerns about this stand, please do not hesitate to send your questions my way.
This is truly a remarkable piece of workmanship, I am proud to have in my home bike shop. We need 6 STARS for this product Competive
Gianni, Do you think the clamp is safe for clamping a carbon frame or carbon seat tube?
Ray, Bike shops all across America are using clamp type repair stands. They clamp to the seat post (clamping to frame is not advised.) It's all about holding the bike firmly, not with bone crushing clamp force, so some care is required. I chose this stand because of it's build quality.
I own a $6,400 carbon bike with a carbon aero shaped seat tube. Believe me I have respect for my carbon. You will love this repair stand!
how do you orientate it to aero seat post? Ready to toss mine out in the yard.
Because this stand grabs from side to side, instead of front to back as the Park stand does. it is nessary to losen the arm at the top of upright, then swivel it to the left, this will bring the clamp to grabbing front to backfor your areo seat post. However it also brings the bike closer to the main upright tube of the repair stand. So you will need to slightly rotate the bike so as not to collide the pedals with the repair stand. Remember not too tight on carbon, just snug. Hope this helps.
Best stand ever!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Finally decided to purchase a better stand than the cheap ones offered by other companies.
This stand is super durable and is very well designed.
It folds up small enough that I don't hesitate to take it along on road trips.
The included Tote bag is worth the extra expense to protect the stand if you're going to travel with it.
Sturdy and Balanced
Barley flexin with my 28 pound enduro/all mountain rig.
Quality Design
Really great bike stand with nearly all the features you could want. I personally prefer the Park Tools lever clamp, but I'm coming around to Feedback's design. Both are awesome though. With this design, hold your bike up, push in the clamp, and give it a couple turns. With Park Tools, you could set the clamp to your bike and not have to retighten everytime, with Feedback, it's easier to work on multiple bikes.
It's a really sturdy design. I haven't tried to pull pedals or cranks off yet, but it held sturdy when cranking on my tires to break the bead and add some Stan's. Set up is super quick and easy, and Feedback went so far as to attach the carrying straps on the tote bag off-center so it's balanced with the rack in it. Great attention to detail.
Only gripe is that the upper tube will spin a bit when pushing on the bike. For 80 bucks more, your can get the Park Tools stand that has hexagonal (or some multi-sided shape) tubes and wont spin, but I'm not sure that worth the cost.
Best bang for your buck.
The quick-release clamps can be tightened with the adjusting screws... have you tried that? Might just need a little extra to prevent the rotation...
i have tightened it, and periodically do so as it loosens over time with multiple openings and closings. i don't want to over tighten it and possibly damage the cam or tube.
No Question
As a downhiller this is the only stand that I will use. The release feature is the best when it comes to dealing with a 35 plus pound bike and the stability of the stand is top notch.
Park PCS-10 vs Pro-Elite
having used both and yea it's not a fair comparison as the Pro-Elite is a little more costly. If one has dedicated work area then the Park would be fine but if you need to pack it up and put it away each time, the ease of doing so and the huge (to me) weight difference as well as the compactness makes the Pro-Elite so much easier to deal with, esp if you have little or no storage space. That's not to mention any differences in quality or design. For me well worth the small price difference. And get the tote :-)

U2's Bono gives surprise performance at SoCal event
Bono wasn't one of the many stars who took the stage at Coachella this weekend, but the U2 frontman did step in front of the mic for an impromptu performance not far from the Indio, California concert event.
Rolling Stone says the Irish rocker made a surprise appearance Friday night at a ranch in La Quinta, California to join Belgian-Congolese artist Baloji. The collaboration took place during the Rolling Stone Rock Room launch party for Studio Africa.
The organization is a joint effort between Bono and his wife's fashion brand EDUN and the Italian design company Diesel that aims to bring African and Western musicians together.

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Girls, Cribs, and Literary Detective WorkBy The Paris Review
How often have you read a TV review by a writer of our generation and thought of Susan Sontag? It's never happened to me—until this week, when I read Elaine Blair's review of Girls in The New York Review of Books. By paying attention to one little sex scene, Blair makes deep arguments about sex scenes in general, the limits of romantic comedy, and the real meaning of sexual freedom. —Lorin Stein
About a decade ago, my friend Mikey loaned me a book he thought I'd enjoy. I've only just got around to picking it up. Though I'm a bad friend, he isn't: the book—Leonid Andreyev's The Little Angel—is terrific, after a fashion. The stories are intriguing, especially "At the Roadside Station" and "The City," but the translation is rather bad. I'd love to see it revisited by another publisher and translator. I'm looking at you, NYRB Books. And how about Natasha Randall? I loved her translations of We and A Hero of Our Time. —Nicole Rudick
For those with a green thumb and a love of literature, look no further than Writing the Garden: A Literary Conversation Across Two Centuries for an insightful glimpse into garden writing over the last two-hundred years. Lush illustrations color the pages and accompany extensive excerpts from the writings of influential figures of gardening's past and present, such as Thomas Jefferson, Gertrude Jekyll, and Michael Pollan. Gain a little inspiration for your own beckoning plots, or simply get yourself excited for summer's peak. —Elizabeth Nelson

Trooper Pay Raise Bill Goes to Governor
(AP) The Oklahoma House has given final passage to legislation that would raise the salaries of Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers.
The House voted 94-0 without debate Tuesday and sent the bill to Governor Mary Fallin to be signed into law. The measure was previously approved by the state Senate.
The bill by Rep. Scott Martin of Norman provides for an across-the-board pay raise for troopers and is based on the recommendations of a recent study on state employee compensation.
The study shows troopers should receive a pay raise of between 14 percent and 20 percent. Officials say the bill would cost about $8.5 million annually when fully implemented.
A starting trooper is currently paid about $38,000 a year. Trooper salaries haven't been increased in seven years.

In front of Sverdrup was a large flock of geese, near the mouth of the stream, close down by the shore.
They were heading straight for Sverdrup, who was now crouching down on the slope.
Sverdrup and I had a good snow-shoeing trip to-day, to the north and west.
It seemed to Sverdrup, who was on deck, the highest that we had seen since we left Norway.
All preparations being now made, Nansen and Sverdrup set off on their adventurous journey.
While this preparation was going on Sverdrup and I went ashore to have a look after reindeer.
One was from Nansen to Gamel, who had equipped the expedition; the other from Sverdrup to his father.
I knew there must be something there, and went off with a revolver, Sverdrup following with one also.
Sverdrup busied himself in making sleeping-bags and many other things.
I then went down and had a pipe and a pleasant chat with Sverdrup in his cabin.

EOS was originally built and owned by the Arciero family, who are still one of the largest wine-grape growers in the appellation. The winery opened in 1985, and was modeled after the monastery of Monte Cassino in Italy, near the Arciero family's hometown. In October 2010, the winery was acquired by Foley Family Wines, a family run organization.
Since their introduction, EOS wines have consistently been recognized for outstanding quality. The 1997 EOS Zinfandel was named "Best Zinfandel of California" and the 1997 EOS Petite Sirah "Best Wine of the Appellation" by the prestigious 2000 California State Fair Wine Competition.

About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

How to get pregnant after a long years of continuos birth control using pills?
Hi there,
My story goes like this. I instantly got pregnant on my first child. After giving birth, my husband and I decided to take a family planning to put a birth gap on our children. I used contraceptive pills for about two consecutive years as our chosen birth control method.
Now, it's almost two years that we are longing to have our second child. My periods are okay except that I couldn't get pregnant. Is it because of the long term use of contraceptive pills?

Hi Renolyn,
Contraceptives like "The Pill" are hormonal based which means that when you take a pill, you are adding hormones to your body to make it infertile (not able to conceive).
When you stop taking the pill, it can take up to a year for those old hormones from the pill, to move out of your body. However, it is known that taking the pill can cause a zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency can also be caused by stress, alcohol consumption, coffee, menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding (among other things). When zinc levels are too low in the body, it becomes difficult to conceive and carry a baby to term.
Another common reason for the inability to conceive is the quality of egg and sperm. Smoking, alcohol and caffeine consumption can all contribute to poor egg and sperm quality.
I'd highly recommend that you start on your preconception care right away, and this includes eating foods that are fertility friendly.
Warm Regards,

Hi Ren,
If you want to conceive, then you'll need to stop taking the pill. If you've had irregular cycles in the past, then you'll want to determine what is causing those irregular cycles so that you can then do what's needed to regulate them naturally and/or with the proper medication.
Do you have any acne on your face or back?
Do you carry any extra weight around your middle/tummy area?
Do you find it hard to lose weight?
Do you get bad cramps during your period?
Post back and I'll try to give you some information on how to determine what's causing your irregular cycles so you can conceive faster.
Warm Regards,

Hi Sach77,
First of all, congratulations on losing 13 kg of weight. That's GREAT! Weight loss can be very hard to achieve with PCOS simply because it is hormonal based. However, it looks like the metformin is helping with your hormonal imbalance and that's a good thing.
I just started using this wonderful website called Calorie King. It asks for your height, activity level (gives you choices to choose from) and weight. It also asks you for your ideal target weight.
Then it calculates how many calories you can eat in a day in order to lose one or two pounds a week. It's the easiest way to count calories that I've ever seen. For me, just keeping a record of what I was putting in my mouth was enlightening. I had no idea I was eating as much as I was until I started keeping track.
There's also a place to keep track of how much water you are drinking.
You can also keep track of what you're eating by simply writing it down on a piece of paper at each meal.
PCOS is similar to diabetes in that your biggest challenge is insulin resistance. This means you have to be extremely careful with the simple carbohydrates (like white rice and pasta) and sugars that you eat. The less of these you eat the better your fertility will become.
Drinking up to half of your body weight in ounces of pure water every single day can also help. And, of course, exercise is a biggie for anyone with PCOS. Especially helpful for PCOS is resistance exercises and weight lifting because these use more glucose. But you'll also want to do some walking or aerobics too. Try to walk a minimum of 30 minutes a day, non-stop.
Here's a good thread on PCOS with more suggestions.
PCOS takes time to get under control, and losing weight takes time too (think about how many years it too you to put the weight on - it's going to take some time to take it off). But it sounds like you're on the right track, and if you are really watching the sugars and simple carbs (by nearly eliminating them) and you're exercising and drinking plenty of pure water, you should be able to turn this around sooner rather than later.
Warm Regards,

As USC searches for a new basketball coach, there are two contradictory thoughts that surround the program, especially for any elite coaching candidate.
USC is in a recruiting hotbed and offers a sparkling arena with a picturesque view of downtown Los Angeles displayed in the huge window behind one basket of the Galen Center.
On the other hand, USC fans rarely seem to care about basketball and any coach is forever mired in the shadow of football.
Perhaps that explains why USC's last three basketball hires -- Rick Majerus, Tim Floyd, Kevin O'Neill -- did not have college head-coaching jobs when they took over the Trojans program.
It also raises in important question today: Can USC attract a big-time coach this time around and shatter the perceptions that often shackle the program?
"From the outside looking in, it's increasingly being perceived as a very good job," said ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, who previously coached at St. John's and New Mexico. "It's a great city with a new facility. They have the branding of the Pac-12 and a conference flush with cash.
"I feel like this is a golden opportunity."
But Fraschilla also knows the shortcomings of USC basketball.
"The underlying negative is it's very rare in the last 40 years that you felt anyone cared about USC basketball," he said. "The attendance and apathy hurt recruiting."
Despite that history, Fraschilla is bullish on USC's chances to land a marquee coach.
"The conference is in a renaissance," he said. "The branding of the Pac-12 and the conference being flush with cash make a difference. It's a very good job. Now they don't have to have someone that's wounded."
USC's last search came down to former New Mexico State Reggie Theus and O'Neill, who had experience overseeing Marquette and Arizona. But with USC involved in a lengthy NCAA investigation, O'Neill inherited self-imposed sanctions from former athletic director Mike Garrett.
There are no such issues today. That is why a coach who was pursued four years ago - Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon, who played at Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks -- remains a top candidate.
"I do think he'd fit, but whether he'd be interested with Pitt leaving the Big East and going to the ACC remains to be seen," Fraschilla said.
Other names have emerged as potential candidates, including New Mexico coach Steve Alford and Virginia coach Tony Bennett, who coached at Washington State and is familiar with the conference.
"The sky's the limit," said Bob Boyd, one of the best coaches in USC history. "There's no sacred cow out there. It's one of the great jobs in the country.
"I think it's such a good job that (athletic director) Pat Haden annoyed me when he said he was surprised at the interest in the job. They can recruit anyone in the world. Tim Floyd would have won them the national championship."
Boyd, who never had the luxury of an on-campus arena, went 24-2 in 1971 with perhaps the best team in school history. He also competed directly against John Wooden and UCLA, something a new coach will not need to worry about.
Not surprisingly, Boyd wants his good friend to come back and coach the Trojans.
"They should beg, borrow and steal to get Tim," Boyd said. "He's the best thing that ever happened to USC basketball."
Floyd is currently at Texas-El Paso. Although he was not found guilty of wrongdoing during the NCAA investigation of former player O.J. Mayo, Haden might consider him a tarnished figure.
A sterling image might even be a requisite for any coach following probation. Perhaps someone like Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, who turned down USC in 1996, would be considered an attractive option today.
Amaker turned Harvard into a top 25 team last season, so he has won with less talent. If USC is forced to go to a "B list" of candidates, St. Mary's coach Randy Bennett is expected to be near the top.
But this is where the dilemma occurs, because USC needs to show it can lure a coach who will excite its fans. Or more importantly, convince new fans to follow the program.
Every time USC went to hire a coach, one negative used to be the presence of UCLA. But Fraschilla discounts that stereotype.
"Duke and North Carolina succeed," he said. "(Michigan coach) John Beilein didn't worry about Michigan State when he took the job. You want someone who wants to compete and isn't afraid to go against the best."
Former USC basketball player David Bluthenthal, who played on the 2002 team that made the Elite Eight, is excited about the possibilities.
"I hope they hire a visionary," Bluthenthal said. "Someone who can relate to today's players, because they are different even from when I played."

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, expert on
nervous diseases, ca. 1900
Charlotte consulted nervous diseases specialist Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell for treatment during her unhappy marriage. As one of many medical and scientific experts who debated "the woman question," he defended the notion of significant differences between the sexes and argued that an epidemic of neurasthenia, or nervous exhaustion, was rife among women who attempted to exceed their natural limits.

and describing her family history, 1887

The disease reflected late nineteenth-century ideas about female weakness, and was used to justify women's exclusion from schooling, intellectual pursuits, and public life. In one of his classic texts, Mitchell explained how young women could be permanently damaged by over-education. He advocated a cure of complete bed rest and isolation.

After a month of treatment, Charlotte was sent home to continue the regimen. Far from getting better, she became increasingly distressed and began to fear that the method was bad for her health. She decided to end the rest cure and her marriage.

Is One Direction's Niall Horan dating model Zoe Whelan?
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
One Direction's Niall Horan may have a new lady in his life. According to "The Sun," the 19-year-old is dating an aspiring model named Zoe Whelan.
A source tells the paper that their romance started about two months ago after they met backstage at one of the group's shows. Since then, Zoe - who is Irish like Niall - has been traveling all over the U.K. to spend time with him as the boys continue their tour.
The 18-year-old model has already been facing some Twitter-hate from One Direction fans since the rumors of their relationship started. But neither have come out and denied it.
Over the weekend, Zoe actually responded to a number of nasty tweets from Directioners, even telling one of them that Niall "doesn't like girls who are rude and bash on others."

Harvard Student Caused Bomb Scare to Dodge Exam
(NEWSER) – Calling in a bomb threat is a really, really bad way to try to get out of your final exams, a Harvard student has discovered. The FBI says Eldo Kim, 20, has confessed to sending an email warning of "shrapnel bombs" on campus, forcing the evacuation of four buildings. Instead of heading home for the holidays, the sophomore is now being held on federal bomb hoax charges, which carry up to five years in prison, reports the Boston Globe.

Noun. A person who appears to be of average weight and size based on their face and upper body but who has an ENORMOUS lower half. The term comes from meeting someone at a table and speaking with them for a while thinking that they are a slender person (based on the face and upper body) but then getting a surprise when they stand up from the table and you see their large lower half for the first time - hence... "stand up surprise". The top/bottom differential must be extreme to count as a stand up surprise.
"I was flirting with this girl all night long and I thought she was such a skinny babe, but when she stood up from the table I saw that she had a HUGE ass. She was such a stand up surprise."
