Now it has been awhile since I smoked pot, but it seems to me that more smoking at a ski resort my actually increase ski related sprains and strains! Another one of those marijuana related injuries you hear so much about.

People will be too busy eating Twinkies and pizza to ski, so they won't be getting injured.

The Hot Tub drownings every night may increase. Who needs skis when the party is going down at the Inn? Health care speaking, the Orthopedic MDs will lose income and the Abortion MDs will get rich.

Nothing about the "medicinal" nature of pot was in there? You mean actual honesty won?

Well, I was about to go on a rant sarcastically bitching about marijuana's known anti-inflammatory properties... then discovered that two of the cannaboids in weed does in fact have anti-inflammatory properties. The well known THC does, and so does beta-caryophyllene.
So, huh. Imagine that. Thank goodness I looked that up before firing off my rant and looking dumb.
But, I still have a point to make, it's just a different one now:
1. Is there enough of those cannaboids present in weed to make a real difference compared to, say, ibuprofen? Because if you gotta refill the bong say 10 times, you're really not doing yourself that much more good compared to swallowing one pill.
2. "More natural" does not necessarily mean "better". Keep in mind that the NSAID ibuprofen was derived from Propionic acid, which itself was derived from sugar. And lets remember that anti-inflammatory steroids are the epitome of "natural" compounds; you still want to monitor your use of those rigorously. The whole "more natural" meme may sound good, but it's far from being a guarantee of being somehow "better" than a well studied pharmecutical.
Off topic - Word Verification: carqaxe. When you buy a car, you ask for the Carfax. When you're done with it and wanna chop it up for the junkyard, you use the carqaxe. - 11/4/09, 9:25 AM

I'm torn. While I support the concept of decriminalization, I don't want one of my favorite resorts to become a magnet for potheads. Oh the shame to discover I'm a NIMBY kind of gal.
- Paul said...
Here we go. This is the one topic where the conservatives look like ignorant fools.
I think many of you people would be shocked to find out how many skiers, and particularly snowboarders, are potheads who regularly toke on the slopes.
And ski their butts off.
As an avid technical mountain biker I ride with many expert riders who smoke weed when they ride and perform extremely skillful maneuvers with no discernible difference in their performance.
This insane war on drugs can't end fast enough. Good for you Breckenridge. - 11/4/09, 9:55 AM

Breckenridge has roughly 3,300 voters.
Some of whom will get to experience the joy of raising middle and high school aged children who are stoned most days, and unable to compete basic homework assignments, carry on a coherent conversation, etc.
All because a few potheads think it will be cool to toke without getting busted before going boarding.
In the green, leafy suburb where my wife teaches in a very good high school, the "harmeless" use of marijuana has morphed into a hellacious heroin problem that has destroyed lives, ruined families and taken the lives of people in their teens and twenties. This week's loss was a 19 year old, found dead in a park where persons unknown dumped his body after he overdosed somewhere else.
The heroin is sold by the same people who sell pot, for the most part. Higher profit margin, more return purchases.
This is a well-written story about heroin use in a wealthy suburban Chicago community.
Good luck Breckenridge. - 11/4/09, 10:25 AM

You haven't spent much time around crackheads, heroin addicts, meth heads, etc. have you? - 11/4/09, 10:27 AM

"You haven't spent much time around crackheads, heroin addicts, meth heads, etc. have you?"
I'm the only white guy you know who works with immunity in all black neighborhoods so you're wrong. Those substances being illegal has zero effect on their availability and popularity and everything to do with promoting a vast criminal empire rife with bloodshed and the ruined lives of NON-USERS.
Try again. - 11/4/09, 10:51 AM
- Michael Hasenstab said...
@Paul - So you're okay with babies born addicted to opiates, brain damaged, etc.; and want to stop law enforcement efforts against "a vast criminal empire rife with bloodshed"?
Nonsense. You just want to keep the dope flowing in the streets and the criminals free from prosecution.
Clever introduction of race into the discussion, by the way. Fail. - 11/4/09, 11:05 AM
- Paul said...
Bullshit Michael. Your war on drugs has done nothing to curb the incidence of babies born to addicted mothers. It has done nothing to curb the availability of drugs. Worse, it has added the incentive of economics that are there only due to it's illegality.
The war on poverty and the war on drugs has destroyed the black community. The former due to a perpetual grievance and entitlement mentality and the destruction of the family. And the latter because it teaches that the best if not only way to economic advancement is through crime.
But knee jerk reactionaries like you don't care. Not my neighborhood. You are the rightwing equivalent of the lefties and their emotional attachment to government run health care. You are both statists looking to have a nanny state to impose on others free will because it fits your agenda.
It would be one thing if your stupid war on drugs was any more successful than prohibition was. But it's not. And alcohol is still the most destructive substance abuse problem but I'll bet you're not clamoring to have it outlawed and drinkers thrown in jail.

Do you know many conservatives Paul? I am a conservative and oppose decriminalization of marijuana because it makes no sense and causes more problems than legalization and taxation. LOTS of the conservatives here favor legalization.
And my first post was satirical. Having smoked pot, I know it is different than alcohol and does not cause gross motor control problems. Also, many if not most people involved in extreme sports have ADHD and use pot to chill their hyperactive brains. For some, engaging in the sport causes them to hyperfocus, and they are in the zone. Others smoke pot to get in the zone then do the activity.
It is straightforward brain science. If you can trust what I am saying because I am a conservative and we can see how you think about all of us.

Marijuana stinks worse than cigarette smoke. I'd rather take a pill.
- Michael Hasenstab said...
Ah, so the war on drugs has destroyed the black community.
Wrong. It's the fucking drugs that have done it.
A compassionate guy like you, though, you want to make your neighborhood better by providing your neighbors with the free flow of drugs, available without the worry of criminal sanction.
You know that your argument is weak, don't you? That's why you had to introduce race and name-calling into the conversation. - 11/4/09, 11:44 AM
- Paul said...
Of course I know conservatives. I am one in terms of politics (conserving the liberties enshrined in our founding documents) and economics.
I am more specifically a Western Libertarian.
You obviously are not included in my broad brushed declaration, but in general I believe it's the right that is on the wrong side of this issue.
I would like to state that my line of work and life has given me an usually broad exposure to different demographic groups, so there is almost no group of people, from Arkansas rednecks, inner city blacks, Hollywood celebrities, upper class white Republicans, conservative Christians, wacked out Marin County new agers, hippies, yuppies, etc., etc., that I have not mingled with.
I never comment on topics that I don't have hands on experience with. - 11/4/09, 11:53 AM

"Ah, so the war on drugs has destroyed the black community.

You just don't get it. And you never will. The drugs ruin the addicts. The crime ruins the community.
For the last time your war on drugs has done NOTHING to lessen the availability of drugs. Nothing. - 11/4/09, 11:58 AM
- Bruce Hayden said...
This is going to be quite humorous. First, the sheriff's deputies in the county are red neck Nazis. And, they are not going to be the least bit swayed by a silly city ordinance, when they have state and federal laws they can enforce.
Secondly, yes, being high on pot is little different for most skiers than being a bit high on alcohol. Notably though, this may not be true for really good skiers (which may be why they thought this to be ok - except that the ski area is outside the city limits). Back in HS, I remember one downhiller from Aspen who was pretty good, but needed pot to stay loose. And one friend of mine has several thousand days on skis a little stoned.
Finally, I am not surprised at one level. I think for the last 40 years (with likely a couple of exceptions when the heat was too high), you could get pretty much whatever drugs you wanted at the Gold Pan on main street. At least if they knew you. And, I have no doubt there are plenty of other places too in town where you could. There have always been a lot of drugs in Breck, at least for the last 40 years. Probably the most of anywhere in the county. It is a resort community, and people come to play, and many who stay do so so that they can continue playing. - 11/4/09, 12:39 PM
- Sigivald said...
Ah, the naturalistic fallacy.
I suggest they eat whole puffer-fish, then. After all, their toxic livers are 100% natural.
(Seriously, pot is mostly harmless for most people, just like alcohol is for most people.
But that it's somehow better for injuries than a "pill" because it's "natural"? That doesn't remotely follow.)
Paul: Why do you imagine that "conservatives" are against smoking pot or for the war on drugs? Conservatives don't approve of giant extensions of state power to criminalize things that were only criminalized in living memory due to a moral panic episode, as a general rule.
If the late William F. Buckley could be pro-legalization, I don't think you get to tar "conservatives" with that.
Michael: Non-sequiturs. Most pot sellers don't sell heroin, according to any research I've seen.
And legalizing it for adults doesn't mean that somehow high-schoolers would be stoned all the time (any more than they're drunk all the time now... are they? Does that thus mean that we need Prohibition again?).
High-school kids sometimes smoke pot illegally now. Making it legal for adults to possess isn't going to make those that choose not to break the law now suddenly become pothead lawbreakers, is it? I don't see the mechanism there, any more than I do for alcohol, which is also widely available, illegal for people under 21, and yet somehow not everyone in high school is drunk all day.
The mind boggles as to how this could be! - 11/4/09, 12:49 PM

Libertarian conservatives are not for the war on drugs, but social conservatives are. Just look at the responses of many of the commenters on this blog in the recent threads concerning the topic. Or the irrational Michael in this thread. As emotional and foolish as any lefty. - 11/5/09, 1:36 AM

EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) recently reported its fourth quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Lifting Recovery Rates
Doug Leggate – Bank of America – Merrill Lynch: Thanks for all the color Mark on the down-spacing. You've talked in the past about continued efforts to try and increase your recovery rates there, obviously you've done a good job on that. Would you now say that 8% is the – is that pretty much target achieved or do you think there is still more running room there. I'm just curious as to what else you might do in terms of trying to lift your recovery rates, and I have a follow up please.
Mark G. Papa – Chairman and CEO: Yes. Doug, there's – no we can't say that the 8% is the final, final, final answer at all in terms of what we are still looking at doing there. There is the continued work on potential additional spacing, improvements from frac enhancements and then the one that I think, is the big hitter, potential hitter out there is secondary recovery. In the case of the Eagle Ford it would be through gas injection and we have commenced our pilot gas injection project on there in the Eagle Ford and the reason I didn't mention it on the script is that it may be as long as two years before we really have a read on the outcome of the pilot project. I just don't even want to give a timeline on it. But just if it's worse, our investors knowing that we are – that the pilot project is underway, but it's not anything that we are going to be able to provide a quarter by quarter feedback as to how the pilot is coming or anything like that. But it is fair that say that we are cautiously optimistic that we will come up with a method of significantly enhancing the recovery above the 8% number.
Doug Leggate – Bank of America – Merrill Lynch: My follow-up is really going back to the – you have been very disciplined with obviously your balance sheet and so on. But when you take a write-down obviously you are inflating your net debt to cap and it kind of makes me wonder, given you have got so much resource opportunity particular the upgrade in the Leonard, is that still the right metric the 30% net debt to cap, is that still the right limiter in terms of pacing your development and if you could maybe share any updated thoughts on how you might look to monetize or bring forward some of those non-core assets, not much non-core but like you said, the Eagle Ford and the Bakken through a joint venture or something that may not be a churn out, I will leave it there Mark.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says cold temperatures will leave "tens of thousands" of people whose homes have been damaged by the superstorm needing other places to live.
He says "it's going to become increasingly clear" that homes without heat are uninhabitable as temperatures drop. He says that means that residents who have been reluctant to leave their homes will have to, and that they'll need housing.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city expects that it will have to find housing for 30,000 to 40,000 people.

EAST FLAT ROCK - Polk County coach Ty Stott said East Henderson's home field was similar to the one in Columbus.
The Wolverines made themselves at home Wednesday in an 18-6 non-conference victory. First baseman Tyler Philpott led the charge, going 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs.
EAST FLAT ROCK - Polk County coach Ty Stott said East Henderson's home field was similar to the one in Columbus.
The Wolverines made themselves at home Wednesday in an 18-6 non-conference victory. First baseman Tyler Philpott led the charge, going 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs.
"Their park is built like ours," Stott said. "The (hitting) background is like ours, a lot of green. We always seem to pick up the ball well here."
For East, which drops to 1-6, it was a familiar story of too many miscues with five errors aiding the Wolverine cause.
"We've played a tough schedule early," said East coach Jeff Frady. "The only thing is that we've given up a lot of unearned runs."
The first batter of the game, Danny Fraga reached on an East error and came in to score later when Philpott cranked a one-out, three-run homer to right-center field.
The Wolverines kept after East starter Eric Fann in the second inning with five more runs to build an 8-0 lead.
Fann took the loss, allowing eight runs, six earned, in two innings of work.
Leading 9-2, Polk opened the sixth five straight hits and scored six runs to put the game away. The Wolverines win moves their record to 4-1 with the Western Highlands Conference opener at Madison looming on Friday.
"We're ready for conference," Stott said.
He added that the team's top two pitchers, Brandon Jolley and Lucas Cash, were well-rested. Neither went the hill against East.
Wolverine starter Patrick Kelly allowed just two unearned runs in 4 1/3 innings to pick up the win.
Every spot in the Polk lineup scored at least one run. Fraga, who walked twice and reached on an error twice, scored four runs and had an RBI on a sacrifice fly. Catcher Rooster Ross had an RBI double in the five-run second.
"One-through-nine (our lineup) should be fairly solid," Stott said of his defending conference champions.
The Eagles, facing an early end to the night via the 10-run rule, fought back to extend the game with four runs in the bottom of the sixth. Shortstop Hunter Hill provided the big blast, with a long three-run homer to dead center.
"We didn't quit," Frady said. "These kids have some fight in them."
East's first two runs came with the help of two Polk errors in the fourth. Austin Putnam and Drew Clark, who had a team-high two hits, scored in the Eagle half of the fourth.
"The bottom line is we've got to start making the routine plays," Frady said. "I still expect us to be in the top three in the conference."
Polk:;3 5 0;0 1 6;3;-;18;16;2
East:;0 0 2;0 4 0;0;-;6;9;5
Winning pitcher: Patrick Kelly (4 1/3 IP, 2 R, 0 ER, 4 H, 5 Ks, 3 BBs)
Losing pitcher: Eric Fann (2 IP, 8 R, 6 ER, 5 H, 2 Ks, 3 BBs)

Hobey Baker Award finalist Kevin Hayes agreed to terms on a free-agent contract with the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
A Boston native, the 22-year-old forward had 27 goals and 38 assists this past season with Boston College, making him a finalist for the Hobey Baker that is awarded to the top player in collegiate hockey.
Hayes, 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, was named to the NCAA East All-American first team and Hockey East's first All-Star team after he set career-highs in goals, assists, power-play goals (six), and game-winning goals (six). He ranked second in the nation in points, fourth in assists, and fifth in goals.
In 142 games over four years at Boston College, Hayes had 44 goals and 88 assists. During his tenure, the team won the 2012 national championship. He was originally selected by Chicago with the No. 24 pick in the 2010 draft.

The Real Little Lord Fauntleroy
The lady author modelled her famous fictional creation after her own wonder boy —and condemned a generation of "manly little chaps" to velvet pants and curls
February 1970 | Volume 21, Issue 2
The fast-mounting royalties swept the Burnett family to a new plane of affluence that included a move to a more fashionable Washington address at 1734 K Street N.W. For the first time it was possible for Mrs. Burnett not only to indulge in extravagantly romantic plans for the boys but to make them come true, even at the cost of a diminished role for her husband, who was now caught up in hospital duties and a professorship at Georgetown University Medical School.
It was not the first disappointment of his marriage. A few years earlier the physician, afflicted by a limp resulting from a boyhood knee injury, had found his physical characteristics borrowed by his wife to clothe the wretched soul of one of her more repulsive creations—Richard Amory in "Through One Administration." Dr. Burnett was further saddened when she swept off to England with the boys in May, 1887, so they could join in celebrating Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, which had already filled London with a gaggle of continental royalties and exotically garbed potentates from India.
From seats opposite the mounted band of the Royal Horse Guards, Vivian and Lionel watched wide-eyed the unmatched pageantry of the jubilee procession in which the Queen moved in a carriage of state drawn by cream-colored horses. Then came a stay at a farm in Wangford, near Southwold, before they were hastened off to an apartment in Florence, where Mrs. Burnett was soon spinning in the city's social whirl. The boys were popped into a French-Italian school where they could absorb two additional languages, while Mrs. Burnett was entertained by flirtations at masked balls and by the charming silhouettes cut for her by a talented first lieutenant in the crack Bersaglieri army corps.
Her heady idyll was suddenly interrupted by word from England that someone had plagiarized Little Lord Fauntleroy for the stage. According to a biography of his mother later written by Vivian, the plagiarist had the effrontery to appear in Florence to offer her a share of the royalties he anticipated from the theft of her work. When he fled her wrath it was with a determination to hasten his production regardless of her feelings. Mrs. Burnctt followed on the next train, heading for her London solicitors.
The literary thief, whose name appears to have been Seebohm, counted on the haziness of English law with regard to the ownership of plays adapted even from copyrighted books, but he failed to reckon the adamantine quality of FlufTy's determination. To waste no time on the journey, she began her own stage adaptation as her train clattered out of Florence.
Seebohm's play opened to favorable reviews at London's Prince of Wales Theatre on February 23, 1888, but by May 12 Mrs. Burnett had won a landmark court decision on property rights to a work of fiction which forced his production off the boards. Just two days later, at Terry's Theatre, she opened her own version of The Real Little Lord Fauntleroy , and the reviews became raves. The Society of British Authors was so moved that she was bracketed with James Russell Lowell, sturdy defender of international copyright laws, as guest of honor at a banquet at Queen's Hall. The boys had by now rejoined Dearest to share her London triumph.
Next came successful productions of the play in Boston, New York, the English provinces, and even France, and the wolf was permanently banished from the Burnetts' door. By December of 1888 Mrs. Burnctt was engaged in buying a splendid residence of twenty-two rooms at 1770 Massachusetts Avenue; but after a few months of entertaining she was again on the Atlantic with thirteen-year-old Vivian in tow. Lionel, who had elected to spend an American summer with his father, wrote to his mother in July, 1889:
Dear Mamma:
I have not received a letter from you for about three weeks, but I suppose you have a great deal to do. …
Yesterday, Monday July 8, 1889 was the day of the great prize fight between Sullivan and Kilrain for the championship of the world. Sullivan knocked out Kilrain in seventy two rounds. I suppose you do not care for prize fights, but you can tell Vivian about it.
After a summer of accompanying Dearest to stately affairs where he was sometimes required to hand a bouquet to a duchess, Vivian returned alone to Washington. His capacity for enthusiasm was now directed to tennis and football, and to valiant efforts to learn Greek and avoid flunking geometry. When he and Lionel took up experiments in electricity, which turned even the doormat into a burglar alarm, Mrs. Burnett sent the requested scientific books from abroad. She also supplied the funds for their basement printing press, which was operated busily until its proprietors were felled by the 1890 epidemic of grippe.
Mrs. Burnett was herself convalescing from a nearly disastrous carriage accident caused by a fractious horse when word came that Lionel was sick again—this time with the most virulent form of tuberculosis, then called galloping consumption.

1. How do I ensure that my dress will look its best on the Big Day?
Two words: Handle carefully.
- Put off picking it up from the shop for as long as possible. (Forty-eight hours before showtime is ideal.) It should be given to you in a garment bag. At home, take it out immediately and hang it from the highest possible point, so the train and hemline don't touch the floor.
- Traveling? Return the dress to the garment bag and repeat the process later. When flying, ask if you can carry it onboard―or you'll risk tying the knot in your tracksuit.
- Should anything happen to stain or wrinkle the dress, don't take matters into your own hands. Trying to dab out even the lightest smudge can leave water marks, and ironing a fabric like tulle can transform it into a burnt, crispy mess. Call your bridal salon for help or, if you can't reach it, the nearest cleaner.
2. Which white will work for my skin tone?
With more than 200 shades of white to choose from, the only way to know which one looks best on you is trial and error. Contrary to popular belief, few wedding dresses come in pure white―which is a good thing, because pure white washes out all but the richest and deepest skin tones. Most women will end up with a gown in the ivory family that flatters their skin tone. Keep these suggestions in mind:
- If you're fair-skinned, look for ivory shades containing yellow undertones.
- If you have a pinker complexion, choose creamy undertones.
- If you have olive, yellow-based, or dark skin, select champagne or off-white shades.
When you think you've found the right shade for you, confirm with the salesperson that the color of the sample gown you tried on hasn't been altered by wear and tear.
3. How do I make sense of all the different fabrics out there?
You can find descriptions of common fabrics at fabric.com, but your best bet is to get your hands on the real thing, either at a bridal salon or a fabric store. Fabrics have individual strengths and weaknesses, depending on your priorities.
- Some materials, like silk duchesse satin, are best for providing support and structure, while gauzier, transparent fabrics, like organza and tulle, are better for achieving a romantic, ethereal effect. (It never hurts to ask if you can order your dream gown in a different fabric.)
- Want to save some money? Check out rayon blends, which have the look of silk without the expense.
- To get a sense of how a fabric will behave over the course of your wedding, bunch it up tightly in your hand. If it's wrinkled after a minute or so, imagine what it will look like by midnight.

Lake Cuyamaca is a small shallow reservoir located about an hour east of downtown San Diego in the Cuyamaca Mountains. The 110 acre lake is San Diego's most scenic reservoir, and offers unique fishing opportunities not available at any of the other local reservoirs.
Lake Cuyamaca sits at an elevation of 4,620 feet, so the entire climate is different. It gets considerably colder in the winter and stays cooler throughout the year – making it San Diego County's only year-round trout fishery. The Lake Cuyamaca Park and Recreation District, which operates the lake takes full advantage of that, stocking some 45,000 pounds of rainbow trout annually.
Aside from the trout, Lake Cuyamaca offers a really underrated bass fishery as well. The lake is home to a ton of bass in the 7-11 pound range, and they see very little fishing pressure throughout the year. Because of the cooler temperatures, Lake Cuyamaca doesn't offer the ideal growing conditions for largemouth bass, so they don't reach the truly giant size that the other lakes see.
Cuyamaca also boasts the only legitimate population of smallmouth bass and sturgeon in San Diego County. Both species were stocked in 1995 and 1996 by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in relatively small numbers. A small population of smallmouth bass still exist, but catches are rare.
Sturgeon have seemed to thrive a little more, and several sturgeon exceeding 20 pounds are caught annually. Most are hooked by trout anglers, and thus most sturgeon encounters result in only stories of lost fish. Of course some anglers beat the odds, like 14 year old Kameron Kane who broke the sturgeon lake record in November of 2014. Kane caught and released a white sturgeon weighing more than 50 pounds (the scale at the lake has a max of 50 pounds) and was 62″ in length.
Lake Cuyamaca also has a good population of small black crappie, bluegill, bullheads, and channel catfish.
The dam which formed Lake Cuyamaca was completed in 1888, making it the 2nd oldest dam in the state of California. It was created to store water to be piped down to San Diego to support the growing city. At that time, water was transported down to the city through a system of wooden flumes, above ground channels.
Fish were first stocked in 1891, but drought conditions and a desperate need of water in San Diego completely wiped out the fishery in the 1940s around the tail end of World War II. The lake was desolate until the 1960s when the Lake Cuyamaca Recreation and Park District was formed to create a more permanent infrastructure at the lake. They constructed a dike to create two sections; a deeper and more viable western side and a shallow and sprawling eastern end which only holds water during very wet seasons.
Lake Cuyamaca is located at 15027 Hwy 79 in Julian, CA.
Facilities and Camping
Lake Cuyamaca is one of the few lakes around which offer lakefront camping, and its campground is one of San Diego County's most desired. Tent camping is available on the lake's north shore, and several lake view condos are available there as well. There are very few sites with hookups for RVs, but a larger campground exists a few miles away in Cuyamaca State Park.
There is a popular restaurant overlooking the lake on its western shore, a popular and much appreciated option for anglers at this remote reservoir. The lake also offers a small but suitable tackle store for bait and tackle, and a mini-mart style store for snacks and beverages.
A paved launch ramp is available for private boaters, and a boat dock holds a large rental boat fleet for other anglers to get out on the lake.
Shoreline access is tremendous at Cuyamaca, the lake has gentle sloping banks with limited obstructions and several access points. Several well designed jetties, fishing floats, and fishing docks are stationed around the lake to provide additional access. There is even a handicap fishing dock on the lake's dike at the northeast corner of the lake.

UK = United Kingdom. US = United States. IT = Italy. FR = France. DK = Denmark.
The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Back to top
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoes widest part.length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it's best to get someone to measure for you.

Jennifer Fisher, a native of Santa Barbara, California, began her career in fashion, working in both Los Angeles and New York as a wardrobe stylist for numerous feature films, television shows, and commercials. After 10 years of dressing some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Jennifer met her husband and moved to New York City where they decided to start her family. When their first child Shane was born Jennifer wanted a piece of jewelry that not only had his name on it, but also expressed her personal style. Unable to find anything unique and not mass produced, she designed her own special piece that reflected the significance of his birth. It was a simple dog tag charm hand stamped with his name on it, which she wore on a long, thick link chain. After friends, family, and strangers requesting that Jennifer make them pieces of their own, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry was born.

Here's what's on the table right now:
Revenue increases: The White House is currently proposing between $1.2 and $1.3 trillion in increased revenue, compared to its initial offer of $1.6 trillion. The GOP has officially made an offer of $800 billion, but is unofficially flirting with the idea of $1 trillion in revenue, which would include a tax increase on America's top earners.
Spending cuts: The White House initially offered $600 billion in spending cuts (or $400 billion, when new spending is factored out), compared to the initial Republican offer of between $1.2 trillion and $1.35 trillion. The White House is currently offering $930 billion in spending cuts ($850 billion net after new spending).
Catalysts are critical to discovering winning stocks. Check out our newest CHEAT SHEET stock picks now.
The figures aren't exact, because different sources calculate and estimate differently, but, as reported by The Washington Post, these are good numbers to think around. The scale of the fiscal cliff discussions to date seems to be the positioning of these figures.
With this as a backdrop, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) is preparing to put the GOP "Plan B" before the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Plan B is a bill that would extend the low Bush-era tax rates on those who made less than $1 million per year, and is expected to pass the House but not the Democrat-controlled Senate.
In spirit, the proposal is an image of the grand compromise sought by all parties. While President Barack Obama initially proposed a cut off at an income of $250,000 (and has since upped his proposal to $400,000), the vast majority of Republicans began with a hard-line no-new-taxes position. The very notion of a tax hike is not just a concession, it is the concession…

When you're traveling, sometimes it's hard to get your model train fix. Or, rather, it used to be.
Train sets can be fun, but they can also be serious business. Such is the case with the briefcase train set. Known as the Blumenau, it is a "high-quality, ready assembled summer landscape and pictured background." Can you imagine just whipping this thing out on a flight from L.A. to N.Y. and letting that sucker run? I can. It's glorious.
It's powered by an integrated 9 volt battery and has a throttle control built into the lower edge of the set. Get it from Paul Smith for the well-worth-it price of £ 1,000.00.

Pain Near Tailbone but NOT on Tailbone03/04/2010 |
I have bruise-like pain when pressed on either side of my tailbone---in the exact same spot on each side----but not ON my tailbone. Sitting can be painful and rising upon sitting can be especially painful. Ibuprofen helps the pain with sitting, but the pain is still there when the areas are pressed. I have had this for about a month; initially I thought it WAS a bruise at that location, but it isn`t. I`m a 54-year-old woman with moderate scoliosis that`s not noticeable to me. I have read about coccydynia (tail bone pain) but because I have no pain on my tailbone, I`m confused. A massage therapist has, in the past, expressed concern about a spot on my lower back that`s overly sensitive to the touch. I don`t know if this is a herniated disk, or another problem. What kind of health professional should I see for this tailbone problem?Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.
Hello, thank you for your question. You could either try an orthopedist with a specialty in pelvic problems (Not the kind of "pelvic" problems that we think of for gynecologists, but orthopedic ones), or perhaps a spine specialist or pain management specialist. Coccyx pain really hasn't been "claimed" by any one particular specialty, and really there isn't a lot known about it (yes, I understand your point that you don't truly have coccyx pain, but you're going to need someone who knows how to evaluate pain in that area, at any rate). These are tough ones to sort out, but I wish you good luck.

GAMING NEWSPlatinum Games Didn't Know Their Game Was DelayedPosted on Tuesday, June 19 @ 10:52:34 PST by Daniel Bischoff
SEGA announced yesterday that they were pushing Anarchy Reigns, the latest over-the-top action set piece from Platinum Games to an already quite packed Q1 2013 release window. You know... where no one will pay any attention to it because of all the other games coming out at that time. Makes total sense when you don't think about it. While the move was an unexpected surprise to western fans of Platinum, it was also a surprise to the developers themselves. Platinum Games Producer Atsushi Inaba said via Twitter: Hey, c'mon SEGA. That's not cool. I haven't seen or played Anarchy Reigns since E3 2011, and even then it seemed like the publisher wasn't as thrilled as I was with the product. I typically blind-buy games from Platinum because I like their style, but now I'm bummed my preorder was pushed out for... what seems like no good reason. I could see SEGA allowing more time for development, polish, added features, etc, but moving the game from a relatively open retail window (the dead of summer) to a quarter packed with AAA releases seems like a stupid move.

Apple mulling three flexible display sizes for its iWatch, 1.5" prototype already in the lab
0. phoneArena 01 Oct 2013, 03:29 posted on
Apple is apparently testing flexible OLED displays in various sizes for its upcoming iWatch accessory, Korean media reports, which means that the maker of those screens is either Samsung, or, more likely, LG, given that both companies can make bendable OLEDs now...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

It's nice to see a company that takes it time to produce a perfect device . Size, look and the smoothness of a operating system. I can't wait for it.
2. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Yeah, 2010 takes super long to finish for Apple, but at least they are utilizing WebOS & Android inventions and Samsung 64bit chips & flexible displays that coincidentally go into production this month.
9. HansGoneInsane (unregistered)
I totally agree. Its worth spending some time longer in order to provide one's customers a superior product. Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch looks like a stone on my one's wrist that has only power for 10h. LOL. Some companies still haven't understood yet how to make great products.
10. willard12 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
Yes, it produces a perfect device. So, what version of IOS 7 are we on over the last 4 days?
12. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2236; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
You are right, it's a good thing Steve Jobs was on the Google board so he had access to the company's trade secrets to create the first iPhone and iPhone OS.
As for the A7, it is no more Samsung's, who couldn't even legally design a chip like the A7, than the Snapdragon 800 is TSMC's.
Flexible OLED? Since Samsung neither invented current OLED tech (Universal Display and others) nor were they first with flexible OLED (Sony and various research institutions), then I guess Samsung is just as lame as Apple, in your eyes?

When Dad started to feel the effects of chemotherapy in his fight against cancer he realized that his ability to reliably defend his wife and family were seriously impaired. No longer was he the large and imposing man (but gentle as a lamb) who could offer an evildoer a withering glare. He had grown weak and frail from debilitating treatments and could hardly walk let alone stand against an assailant, God forbid that one should ever cross his or Mom's path. So Dad, a man of peace if ever there was one, purchased a gun and acquired a permit to carry it on his person at all times. And he carried it, feeling just a tiny bit safer in the knowledge that he could at least make a decent effort to protect his wife while they traveled in strange cities on a long tour for survival from cancer. He took it to the firing range and became quite skilled in its use. Having the benefit of being around guns when he was a young man, he was a natural shooter who took pride in his ability.
We had talked on the phone once, after I'd gotten out of Army Basic Training, and we both agreed that it'd be fun to go to the firing range together and shoot at some targets. He was particularly proud of his officer's-model Springfield 1911, a weapon that was (and still is) commonly used by Army officers as sidearms when out in the field.
I've never owned a firearm, myself. Fired a few of them, all of which belonged to other people. Having joined the Army, I am abundantly aware of the potential need for a firearm when I deploy to Afghanistan next year. I've always had a sort of ambivelent feeling about guns, appreciating their practical uses but eschewing their sensationalized fascination in society at large. For me, guns are tools, not toys or showpieces. They are tools for survival and to be used only in extreme need. I figure that, once I deploy, having a sidearm would probably be a smart thing, even if I never use it, because weilding an M-16 in a computer lab can be problematic under even the best of circumstances.
Dad died a few weeks ago. Mom has been rooting around through his stuff and, today, she gave me Dad's prized Springfield 1911. I'm still not sure how I feel about this, but it at least takes the matter of cost out of the equation for me (guns aren't cheap when you acquire them legally). This is strange for me.
Now I own a gun.
Is that a good thing?
Automobiles are machines, and machines break. So seeing a car along side a road is not an unknown thing. Seeing three of them within five to eight kilometers is pretty rare. But it really didn't surprise me. Unless you live in New York City or two to three other very large cities, the public transportation stinks. That is not by accident. Public transportation is subsidized throughout the globe. It has to be in order to offer good service on off-peak routes and times. Most other countries regard this as a public good. Good public transportation enhances the living standards of the poor and working classes who don't need the expense of a car to get around. Public transportation is far more fuel efficient than automobile transport, and thus reduces oil imports and production of greenhouse gasses. That in turn improves their balance of payment situation when trading with other countries. People with vision problems can get around. Poor people get to work, the economic situation improves, and drunk people don't have to drive to get home. Parking problems and traffic jams are reduced, as are road wear expenses. It's a win-win situation for most countries.
But not in America. We didn't invent the automobile (the Germans did) but we sure did more to promote it than anyone and feel a divine right too it. Public transportation subsidies are rarely approved as almost no one actually takes the bus anywhere. While cars are very expensive, once you have one the marginal cost of a single trip is minimal. And because almost everyone has a car people tend to see subsidies as them giving money to someone else, and that's something most Americans abhor.
So in America, you have to drive. And when the economy turns bad, and your hours are cut at work, commissions are down, tips are down and income is down (provided you still have a job). And one of the easiest places to cut back is routine maintenance on that old car. Oil changes become less frequent, chassis lubrication goes down. Repairs are deferred or delayed. Until something breaks.
Take that Cadillac I saw resting on it's left rear brake. The owner had plenty of warning something was wrong. Wheel bearings make a grinding noise that changes with speed. Hubs going away vibrate. Non-mechanics don't know what's wrong, but you know something is wrong. Same for the problem on the intrepid. They would have heard, or felt something. Probably both. If they take it in to their mechanic he deals with it. But the driver is now broke. He or she just keeps on driving hoping for a break before something really breaks. Of course that's a fool's bargain. Repairing that hub or wheel bearing would have cost a third of what the Caddy owner will now have to spend. Provided the money is there at all.
And that's the other thing about America's dependence on the automobile. We use a lot of gas. When the economy improves, people will drive more. The cost of gas will go back up. A slow, mild increase might be absorbed. But we saw in 2008 how the price can double or more in weeks. That sort of increase will choke off any recovery right as it begins. And so the cycle begins again. The truth is that as much as America loves the automobile, we can not depend on it any more as primary transportation. We need alternatives for the sake of our poor, our dependence on foreign oil, for the stability of our growth, and because we can't go on producing greenhouse gasses like they don't matter. We don't have to give up the car, after all Europeans still drive. But we need to make it so that you don't need a car to live a normal life.
Doing my part for better of society!
First off I wish to apologize as much as possible within the realm of socially acceptable apologizing (as in not profusely but pretty darned close) to those friends here who count on me for intellectual sustanance in a time where common sense is at an all time low. There are good reasons for this shirking on my part that I will reveal to you in some of the details now (see below).
I captured a peasant just over three months ago. This normally would not be a big deal, except this was my first solo capture of a peasant, an activity I normally engage in with members of my peer group which contains Chopper, The Slow Kid and recent edition Bootsy (a transvestite stock trader with lotsa hot tips). Usually capturing of a peasant involves creating a distraction (the unproductive amongst us are usually easily distracted unless somehow mentally ill), putting potato sack over head and using two sturdy fellows to drag person and sack-over-head into a vehicle. Going at this activity alone made it more challenging (as I'm sure you can imagine), but I wanted to prove to myself and to Chopper that I could perform adequate peasant disposal as a solo act which increases one's manhood tenfold.
Peasant disposal is an activity I enjoy as an offshoot of my work as a fully tenured professor of ethics (with honorary doctorate now by the way in case you have a diary about me) in the Greater Maryland University System. It is still at this time regarded as a hobby or pastime for those that engage in it, but hopefully there will soon be grants given for it as it is morally and ethically necessary in order to create a better of society that eliminates waste and government handouts.
I spotted this peasant who I could tell right away was soaking up peoples' hard earned tax money due to his cafeteria worker uniform and scuffy shoes. I moved in closer to him and worked my skills to get valuable background information from him that I could use against him later when I pushed him to his physical and mental limits before breaking him completely. I was looking forward to the second step in peasant disposal which is mockery but for first starters I needed to win his trust and convince him I was a companion in travels by demanding as much information about his background as possible and poking him in ways that caused him to reveal personal secrets that could be used to break him later in my well equiped basement.
His name was Udo Funke (I think that is what he said his name was but I was talking on my cell phone when he told me so this could be misinformation of a kind). When I ended my call to the phone sex line and we could talk more deeply and personably without interruption he told me how he worked full time in a cafeteria for government workers and also had a part time job working security at an ethnic shopping mall. I immediately made check marks in my notebook as these were two useless activities he was engaged in that added nothing to society and served my purposes well. He also did small repairs in his spare time, which he claimed was not plentiful (a frequent claim of useless peasants). He fixed up broken bicycles that needed to be disposed of for peasant children and fixed appliances for elderly peasants who claimed they could not afford the correct people who depend on them to make a living. All of these matters were extremely shady so I was pretty much forced to move to stage two of the peasant disposal operation.
The mockery began in earnest, which was a challenge as a solo act and always easier with Chopper flinging barbs and witicisms and The Slow Kid hitting the peasant in the kneecap with a wrought iron bar. I did have a good advantage because we were on the city bus (a frequent hangout for peasants) and I was on the outside part of the bench seat and he was trapped against the unopenable window. I mocked his appearance, his tattered clothing, his shoes, his living off government handouts and his wife having died of pneumonia two years earlier. It was great fun but I did not want to get too carried away as I still needed to get him off the city bus and get a potato sack over his head and I needed him to continue to believe I was friend and not foe.
Taunting and mockery are two different things and should be considered as such especially when writing a term paper (which I am sure many of you younger people are going to be doing or are doing now so if you want to write a term paper on taunting and mockery you should make a note of this). Mockery sets the table and taunting is reserved for after one has gotten a peasant's head inside of a potato sack.
When my mockery had driven Udo Funke to tears, I put my arm around him and whispered repeatedly in his ear, "I am friend, not foe. I am friend, not foe" until he was convinced of this. Weak minded peasants are easily foiled by this trick which is something that becomes more effective with more practice. We got off the bus at my stop even though he protested at first because it was not his stop and this was obviously not a peasant neighborhood (the nearby country club is a dead giveaway). I convinced him to disembark from the city bus at my point of origin by telling him I would give him a free can of lima beans that I had in my pantry if he came to my house and by swearing to him that no gay antics were in any way part of my plan. I also swore at him to intimidate him and take advantage of his low self esteem. It worked like a charm.
The basement of my home was intially set up years ago as a place where people who rejection my offers of friendship could be corrected in their thinking, but since that time I have forged solid and rewarding friendships and it is seldom used for those purposes. The last time I needed to use the basement for those reasonable reasonings was when the man at the pretzel kiosk turned me down for going for shakes at the ice cream kiosk at the end of his shift. He is now in a state mental institution and is no longer a burden on tax paying Americans by being a pretzel vendor. More to the point here and at this time is the utilization of the basement set-up for peasant disposal rather than corrective behavioral tactics which simply do not work.
This all ties together in a way that is explained now because I was finding myself desiring friendship with Udo Funk. Like many peasants who depend on government handouts to feed their slovenly selves, Udo was like a dog, an intelligent dog that could conceivably become a reliable companion and toady. I was understandably torn by the feelings welling up inside myself, but I knew I had to do the ethical thing and dispose of this peasant before he drained the nation dry of resources. And so, fighting against my emotions, I began doing things to my useless peasant that would push him beyond the point of no return. And then, godfearing citizens of this website and visitors, I had a change of heart that was as sappy as any moment in any romantic comedy film of the past twenty-five years and I stopped. With tears in my eyes I released Udo Funke from his restraints, removed his hood and let him drop lifelessly to the floor. Fearing it was too late for reclamation I fetched him a can of dog food that was left over from before I had to put my boys down and put it in a dish for him. I let him eat his fill and then gave him some expired seltzer water to wash it down with. He seemed content and so I took him up on my lap and began my lecture series on becoming a contributing member of society.
Since then I have gotten Udo Funke trained in answering the telephone and e-mail so he can check all the insider trading tips I get from my smart connections on Wall Street which keeps me from having to worry about checking on these things while I am lecturing a class or giving a test during my work as a fully tenured professor of ethics with an honorary doctorate. This has expedited this process for me, helped me to avoid missing key and timely information and at the same time has allowed me to teach Udo Funke what it means to be a benefit to society and to work for a living.

Islamabad: Pakistan has sent a second letter to Interpol asking it to arrest former President Pervez Musharraf, who had been declared a fugitive by an anti-terrorism court for failing to cooperate with investigators probing the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto. (Agencies) Latest News from World News Desk
The Federal Investigation Agency, which is probing the assassination, attached arrest warrants for Musharraf and some pieces of evidence to the letter, which was sent to Interpol on Thursday.
The Interpol office in France had earlier returned a similar request by the FIA as no evidence against Musharraf had been provided.
The evidence sent with the letter on Thursady includes a statement by US Journalist Mark Siegel and records of emails sent by Musharraf to former premier Bhutto, media reported.
FIA Special Prosecutor Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali confirmed that the letter had been despatched.
Earlier, the British government had denied Pakistan's request to repatriate Musharraf. British authorities said they were unable to act on the request as there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.
Musharraf, who has been living in self-exile in London and Dubai since early 2009, was declared a "proclaimed offender" or fugitive after investigators accused him of failing to provide adequate security to Bhutto.
Musharraf has also been accused of failing to cooperate with investigators.
The FIA told the anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of five men accused of involvement in Bhutto's killing that Musharraf was guilty of not providing adequate security to the former prime minister despite threats to her life.

Utility of MODS for Diagnosis of MDR-TB and Second-Line Antituberculous Drug Susceptibility Testing in Mali

- How to Read a Study Record
-Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria. In Mali, TB is diagnosed with a test that is fast and inexpensive but not always accurate. The purpose of this study is to test a new method for diagnosing TB, called the microscopic-observation drug-susceptibility (MODS) test. The MODS test takes 7 days to show results. The test also gives information on which drugs will work best in each case.
-To test a new method for diagnosing tuberculosis called the microscopic observation drug susceptibility test.
- Participants must be 12 years of age or older.
- They must have a diagnosis of TB from a sputum smear, or have symptoms of TB and an x-ray indicating that TB is present.
- Participants will take part in the study from 6 months to 21 months and be assigned to one of three groups, depending on what type of TB they have.
- At the first visit, researchers ask questions about general health and symptoms of TB. They check vital signs, draw blood, and ask for a sputum sample. The blood is used to check for HIV infection and for the number of CD4 cells, which measures the severity of the HIV infection.
- The 2-, 5-, and 6-month visits are similar to the first. Those who do not have multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB will end their participation after the 6-month visit. MDR TB is tuberculosis that has not responded to isoniazid and rifampicin. Participants with MDR TB will remain in the study for 21 months.
- No treatment is provided as part of this study.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Uitlity of MODS for the Diagnosis of MDR-TB and Second-Line Antituberculous Drug Susceptibility Testing in Mali |
Estimated Enrollment: | 340 |
Study Start Date: | May 31, 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | March 5, 2013 |
Approximately one-third of the world s population is infected with tuberculosis (TB), and over 1 million deaths occur annually worldwide because of it (1,2). Accurate diagnosis and TB drug susceptibility testing is necessary to treat the infection appropriately and bring this epidemic under control. Inappropriate treatment of TB, on the other hand, has led to the recent spread in multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), estimated to affect over half of million people worldwide (2,4,5). Sputum smear microscopy, the diagnostic method commonly used in developing countries, is not as sensitive at detecting TB as culture-based techniques utilized in developed countries. Furthermore, drug-susceptibility testing is not routinely performed in resource-limited settings. Consequently, many individuals with TB in developing countries are treated with inadequate regimens, and MDR-TB continues to spread.
The microscopic-observation drug-sensitivity (MODS) assay has been recently developed for rapid diagnosis of TB and simultaneous detection of resistance to first-line TB medications in resource-limited settings (11). MODS has been shown to be as sensitive as traditional culturebased methods for the detection of TB, providing results for drug susceptibility testing that are highly concordant with standard techniques (10).
We propose to study the utility of the MODS assay for the diagnosis of TB in subjects who are sputum-smear positive or sputum-smear negative, and those with chronic TB. Susceptibility testing will be performed for first-line antituberculous drugs and, subsequently, second-line drugs, if subjects are found to have MDR-TB. The first primary objective is to calculate the sensitivity of detection of the MODS assay, compared with the Middlebrook culture method, in subjects suspected of having TB who are sputum-smear positive by microscopy. The second primary objective is to calculate the concordance of drug-susceptibility testing between the MODS assay and the agar proportion method for subjects who are sputum-smear positive, sputum-smear negative, or diagnosed with chronic TB.
Secondary objectives include evaluating the utility of the MODS assay in the diagnosis of TB in subjects who are sputum-smear negative and those with chronic TB, the performance of second-line drug-susceptibility testing using the MODS assay in subjects diagnosed with MDRTB, the utility of the MODS assay in the diagnosis of TB in subjects coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 or -2, and the ability of the MODS assay to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria in subjects harboring these organisms.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 12 Years and older (Child, Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Individuals (12 years of age) who meet the following criteria are eligible for enrollment in the study:
Have a sputum smear that is positive for acid-fast bacilli by microscopy or have clinical symptoms and abnormal findings compatible with active TB on a previously performed chest radiograph.
Have either completed at least 5 months of treatment with antituberculous therapy within the past year or have not received any antituberculous treatment in the preceding 5 years.
Willingness to provide a sputum sample for the study.
Ability to follow verbal instructions for producing sputum.
Willingness to undergo testing for HIV.
Willingness to allow storage of samples for future research.
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for enrollment in the study:
Any condition that in the investigator s opinion places the subject at undue risk by participating in the study.
Subjects younger than 12 years of age will be excluded from the study due to the difficulty of obtaining adequate sputum samples for the diagnosis of TB in this population and because there are no means for obtaining gastric aspirates at the reference centers.

WVU could be back on the SEC's radar as Missouri likely stays put, scheduling with 13 teams is likely to be a huge hassle.
WVU could be back on the SEC's radar as Missouri likely stays put, scheduling with 13 teams is likely to be a huge hassle.
Go Gators!
How much different would it be for those non revenue sports flying charter/renting compared to renting a bus? With the money the Big 12 would make you could get a couple planes strictly for non revenue purposes and write off the loss. Or you could strike a deal with one of the airlines to get cheaper tickets in exchange for the advertising.
And honestly I would rather be in AAA in the Big 12 than the AA that the Big East is becoming with who they are talking about adding. I don't believe the rumors about the service academies we have heard that for YEARS and yet to come to fruition.
I just don't see what WVU adds besides a nice football program with a loyal fan base. I don't see the attraction in landing Pittsburgh because they are at least the #3 team in that region behind Pitt and PSU. N. Carolina? They are behind UNC, NC State, and Duke as well as maybe East Carolina. Virginia and Maryland? I would say that Va Tech corners that market as well as Virginia and the other power house programs across the nation. They would bring the entire state of West Virginia, but I don't know what that is worth.
But this whole expansion thing got me thinking. What if the Pac 12 and Big 10 stand put and the Big 12 stays viable? The biggest name school to move was Nebraska. You can jockey all you want but if you are not landing a big name school (Texas, OU, OSU, OSU, Michigan, ND, PSU, USC, etc.) what is the purpose of expanding? It could be very interesting to see what happens if both the Pac 12 and Big 10 stay put.
From a regional cable deal, it wouldn't be worth much. If the SEC goes the route of the B10 and Pac12 and forms their own network, there would be followers in those states.
The more I think about it, I would really like to see the SEC expand to 16 teams and go to a pod format. Play everybody in your pod in football and play another pod each year plus one from the other (NFL setup). In basketball play everybody in the pod twice and the rest of the conference once.
Example: (Add WVU, Missouri, A&M, and USF)
SEC North:
West Virginia
SEC Atlantic:
South Carolina
South Florida
SEC Gulf:
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
SEC West:
Texas A&M
A big part of me thinks that when all is said and done none of us will recognize the world of college sports.
ESPN reported that Texas A&M has joined the SEC.
SEC announces Texas A&M becomes official member July 1, 2012
PUBLISHED Sunday, Sep 25, 2011 at 5:04 pm EDT
LAST UPDATED 14 minutes and 16 seconds ago
Staff reportSporting News
Text sizeAAA
SEC presidents and chancellors announced Sunday that Texas A&M will join the conference as the league's 13th member July 1, 2012, and the Aggies will begin competing in all sports for the 2012-13 academic year.
The SEC announced the move will be effective next July, and said Texas A&M will participate in all sports during the 2012-13 academic year. That gives the SEC 13 members and its first addition since South Carolina and Arkansas in 1992.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of schedule dance they do for 13 teams in football.
Go Gators!
13 teams isn't unworkable, the MAC has been doing it on-and-off for years.
So as it stands now:
Big 12 has 9 teams
SEC has 13
Big East has 7 football schools
Is that right?
Yep, a lot of rumors flying around that at least 5 of the Big East teams already have other homes (Rutgers and UConn to ACC or Big 10, WVU to SEC or Big 12, UC and Louisville to the Big 12, USF and TCU Screwed). Theres those saying that at least the Louisville deal is suppose to be announced sometime this week.
Interesting. I guess we'll see how it plays out, but I don't see most of those moves being made.
If Oklahoma is going to stay and the PAC 12 doesn't want to expand than the Big 12 will grab 1 or 3 schools depending on what they want to do. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk of Boise St or BYU to the Big 12.
It sounds like Missouri will be the 14th SEC member.
I'm not sure who the Big East picks up and if they lose Louisville I think that's probably it. I guess UCF, ECU, Marshall, maybe Houston?
Marshall will be so far down the list that the Big East will cease football before they get to them.
And at this point if the Big East loses any ONE of Louisville, WVU, USF, TCU the league is DONE. Those 4 could possibly become enough of a core to patch something together but without all 3 there is no chance I see.
I don't think Missery wants to go to the SEC, they want to go to the big 10. A big 12 with Texas and Oklahoma leaves them plenty of power as a football conference to buy them time. They are also (i heard) the head of the conference expansion committee for the Big 12 I read. I don't think they leave the Big 12 for the SEC, they would if the Big 10 called. I also think SEC is less than thrilled with any option. Combine Missery's market and WVU passion and the invite would have long ago been sent.
Texas seems to want to just go back to 10 (easier trek to BcS) the rest of the league seems to want to go to 12. I think they end up at 12.
Big East "Expansion": Army, Navy, Houston and call it a day. Puts the big east back at 8 and 8 (academy football only) for all sports. If no one else gets pilfered.
I'm sure Missouri wants to join the Big 10, but I don't believe that feeling is mutual. I don't think Missouri is the SECs preferred choice, but is probably the path of least resistence.
Are Army and Navy real possiblities? I would think they are behind several other schools, but I could be wrong.
The Big East has been after Army and Navy for years as football only members, but the schools have no interest.
