It's fair to say that this licking odyssey has caused a great deal of stress and general misery. Of course, it can be argued that this was largely self-inflicted when I uttered the words "go on then" to Adam that night in the pub, thereby burdening myself with a gruelling task that would prove costly, both financially and mentally. There have been many low points on the quest and none more so than sleeping on that cold, hard bench in Manchester Airport one freezing October night, whiling away melancholy hours before a 6am flight to Ireland.
During that night of fitful sleep and waking snorts I once again questioned my own sanity and tried in vain to think why on earth I had thought all of this was such a good idea. Barely six hours earlier I had left London for good, having handed in the keys to my flat and given notice on my job, using the last of my leave to get through as many cathedrals as possible before the December 16th deadline, which was now rapidly approaching. How I would do this on only a shoestring budget remained a mystery and one that would have to be worked out on the road. This was all madness, utter madness, and now I wanted no part of it. Thankfully such dark thoughts began to evaporate once on board the aeroplane, and were replaced with a reassuring sense that perhaps the greatest challenge of the whole cathedral-licking bet, namely the licking of the eight Anglican cathedrals of Northern Ireland, was about to be removed forever.
I was met at Dublin airport by a smiling and jolly Christopher (the brother of Lisa, my girlfriend), still fresh from a lengthy early morning drive from County Wexford. It was wonderfully cosy inside his red van and after a quick look at the map we began the journey north with much boyish enthusiasm. The simple pleasure of having a companion again gladdened my heart after the lonely hours spent in Manchester. Christopher quickly proved to be excellent company, as I had known he would be, and I was provided with a wealth of knowledge on the towns and villages we passed through on our journey. He also related how the cathedral-licking story had been greeted in Ireland since it made the news back in June. It had appeared in Love It, a glossy magazine full of tales of lunatics, into whose bosom I had now been inadvertently welcomed. Lisa had done an interview for the feature, which included a mocked up image of me tonguing the ample spire of Salisbury, and apparently it had caused quite a stir in her home town.
So engrossed we were in conversation that I did not even notice when we crossed the border. It seemed strange to be back in the United Kingdom so quickly, especially on a different landmass from the one I called home. I was uneasy about calling it British soil given the history here, and soon it became clear that this question was one that continues to divide people today. Just over the border we passed through a small down bedecked in the red, white and blue; not only flags but paving stones and the very curbs of the road. A few miles on, sometimes even a few hundred yards, this was replaced with green, white and orange. My ignorance of the history was embarrassing but Christopher did a fine job filling in the gaps before we arrived at our first stop of the trip.
It was perhaps fitting that we started the licking tour in Armagh, which is Ireland's religious capital and a city of great historical importance. An acquaintance of Christopher's had given the place a pretty damning review and had not offered much in the way of praise for it. Taking a stroll around its sunny streets however, we agreed that this assessment had been harsh to say the least. Certainly there are fairer cities in the World, but that morning Armagh had nothing but charming streets and friendly nods of greeting from locals a plenty.
The city is famous for its two cathedrals, which can be found atop two equally noble hills, both dedicated to St. Patrick and dominating the skyline for miles around. The Roman Catholic cathedral is perhaps the more attractive of the two but (luckily for me and my already burdensome quest) would not require a lick. It really was magnificent to behold, with its twin towers glowing white in the morning sun and the sight of it raised my spirits once more.
My mood soon dampened somewhat as we struggled up Ard Macha, the steep hill that gives Armagh its name and upon which the Anglican cathedral proudly sits. This lofty spot has seen plenty of action and upheavals in its time and has been fittingly dubbed "the Canterbury of Ireland." Here also was a famous site of pagan worship, as well as a stronghold for the kings of Ulster in days long since passed.
When Christianity first spread to Ireland during the mid 5th-century Armagh became the island's ecclesiastical capital, following the foundation of a church here by St. Patrick himself. This would not only be a place of Christian worship, the saint decreed, but also one of learning. Soon he was declaring that only those educated at Armagh could spread the gospel, and that is exactly what they did. Soon Irish monks began crossing the sea to northern England full of Christian zeal and determined to convert the newly arrived Anglo-Saxons. During what some have described as "some of the darkest years in English history" it was the Irish that were saving Greek and Latin culture for Europe.
The cathedral itself is a modest affair but exudes an air of peace and tranquillity, something this hilltop has had little experience of in its time. No less than seventeen different churches have stood on this site since St. Patrick first huffed and puffed his way up here. This is thanks largely to the efforts of Viking raiders, who had such a fabulous time trashing it in A.D. 832 that they returned to do it further damage on nine separate occasions. The carnage finally ceased in 1014, when a Danish army was comprehensively defeated at Clontarf by the forces of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland. This celebrated Irish hero is now buried somewhere within the cathedral grounds, having been cut down at the battle by some brute while thanking God for his great victory.
When the Vikings weren't around to cause mischief the weather put saw fit to put the boot in, or more precisely a lightning bolt, which caused such terrible damage in 995 that the building was left largely in ruins for almost two centuries. Two further incarnations were put to the flames during the troubled 16th and 17th centuries, making Armagh one of the most patched up and punch-drunk cathedrals in the World. Now it sits in a peaceful glow, surrounded by trees and enjoying its lofty perch over the city.
The cathedral seen today has been heavily restored during the 19th-century but still retains some delicious medieval features, but it is the collection of older, Iron Age treasures that most captures the imagination. In the south aisle can be found six stone carvings, which serve as a reminder of the old Celtic religion that once thrived on this site. Principal amongst these is the Tanderagee Idol, a comical yet sinister effigy of a grinning creature believed to represent another of Ireland's greatest kings, Nuadha. He is famous for possessing an arm of pure silver, a wonderfully garish gesture following the loss of the original limb in battle. Another carving shows yet another legendary ruler, one Labhraidh Loingseach, who would have been glad of a silver appendage but instead was cursed with a pair of horse's ears.
Having had our fill of the place it was time to get moving. With seven other cathedrals to get to we could not afford to linger too long. As we made our way out and down to the van I shrieked at the realisation that I had forgotten to lick the cathedral! This was a disturbing thought given the fact that I had gone to such pains to get there in the first place, so back up the hill we trudged and captured the following video.
Of its taste I remember nothing, but it can only have been tinged with a sense of relief on having licked my first Northern Irish cathedral. Whatever flavour was left on my tongue was soon vanquished by a hearty breakfast in a nearby establishment, where we planned the next licks with great excitement. Slowly but surely the bet was being won.

Campus Community School was awarded a $1,000 grant by United Healthcare to implement several new running programs.
Campus Community School will have kids up and on their feet more thanks to the help of a grant the school received United Healthcare through the HEROES grant program.
Citing 2008 reports linking childhood obesity to Type II diabetes, officials with United Healthcare said they wanted to do their part to help fight obesity by having schools implement exercise programs that students chose. The health care program partnered with Youth Services of America.
"We decided to put it into the hands of the kids," said Mary McElrath-Jones, director of public relations for United Healthcare and the program's organizer. "If the kids create the program it helps it stick."
Schools apply for a grant of up to $1,000 and United picks schools to award, McElrath-Jones said. Campus Community School in Dover was one of the 200 schools in the nation to receive the grant. The school was awarded the full $1,000 and has used it to implement several programs.
"It empowers the kids to solve problems that they see in the community," said Executive Director of United Healthcare for Delaware Allison Davenport. "It empowers them to take action on ideas and to get healthy."
The money is to be used to implement exercise programs, but it will also be used to fund a community outreach project. Campus Community's outreach program will be its third annual Cougars for a Cause 5K. The proceeds from the race will go to Ben Mapp, a former Campus Community student who suffered cardiac arrest. The proceeds will go toward his medical expenses. The school's officials chose to use its 5K as both an outreach activity and a way to encourage kids to get active.
"The race has been well attended, but we felt we could better encourage the kids," said Eileen Guerke, the coach of the running team that is helping some students train for the race. "Participation in the race is multifaceted. It gives adults the chance to be role models, it gets kids active and it promotes volunteerism because we have kids involved in the planning."
Campus Community has set up several groups that will benefit from the grant and that will participate in the race. One group is the running club, which meets for an hour twice a week after school. The group is made up of fourth through eighth graders. Twenty kids signed up in the fall and Guerke is expecting to have to enlist another coach due to interest this spring.
"It's still new but we are hoping that it will grow, maybe into a cross-country team" Guerke said.
Another group has been started for staff members. Couch to 5K was started to help staff train for the race. The Cougars for a Cause 5K will be held on Saturday, April 27. The race is open to community members and the school is accepting sponsorships from businesses.

Saying that the punishment is "warranted by the conspiracy of silence" among Penn State University's top leadership that turned a blind eye to former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse of young boys, the NCAA just announced sanctions on the school that include:
-- A $60 million fine. The money will go into an endowment fund to support programs around the nation that assist victims of sexual abuse, NCAA President Mark Emmert said.
-- A ban on participation in post-season football bowl games for four years.
-- A reduction in the number of football scholarships from 25 to 15 for four years.
-- The vacating of all the football team's wins for the years 1998-2011. It was in 1998 that university officials first heard that Sandusky might be sexually abusing young boys.
The school, Emmert said, had allowed its athletic culture to go "horribly awry." And without naming former head coach Joe Paterno, Emmert said the school had allowed one person to become too powerful.
Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep and NPR's Tom Goldman talked about Penn State and the sanctions earlier today.
Update at 3:30 p.m. ET. Emmert Says Penn State Needs To Worry About Fixing Its Culture, Not Going To A Bowl Game:
Earlier this afternoon, All Things Considered host Robert Siegel asked Emmert why — if the NCAA didn't want to impose the death penalty because that would punish too many people, including players, who had nothing to do with Sandusky's crimes or any coverup of them — it is denying current players the chance to go to bowl games?
That sanction is "certainly meant to have a punitive impact on the institution," Emmert said, not the players. And the message it should send, he added, is that "for the next four or five years, Penn State, don't worry about going to the Rose Bowl; worry about getting your culture right."
Much more from Robert's conversation with Emmert is due on today's All Things Considered. Click here to find an NPR station that broadcasts or streams the show. Later, we'll add the as-broadcast version of the interview to the top of this post.
Update at 2:45 p.m. ET. NCAA Says Death Penalty "Was Not Severe Enough."
On its website, the athletic association says:
"The NCAA sanctions on Penn State, taken in sum, far exceed the severity of shutting down a program for a year or two. Our sanctions address the cultural change necessary at Penn State. What some refer to as the death penalty was not severe enough."
As for the vacated wins, the NCAA says:
"All wins are removed from the NCAA's official records. Wins attributed to the coach of a team whose penalties are vacated will also be expunged. Opposing teams are not granted wins."
Update at 11 a.m. ET. Big Ten Says Penn State Can't Share In Bowl Revenue, Costing It About $13 Million:
"Because Penn State will be ineligible for bowl games for the next four years, it will therefore be ineligible to receive its share of Big Ten Conference bowl revenues over those same four years," the athletic conference just announced. "That money, estimated to be approximately $13 million, will be donated to established charitable organizations in Big Ten communities dedicated to the protection of children."
Update at 10:40 a.m. ET. Penn State Officials React.
University President Rodney Erickson: "Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims of Mr. Sandusky and all other victims of child abuse. ... Against this backdrop, Penn State accepts the penalties and corrective actions announced today by the NCAA. With today's announcement and the action it requires of us, the university takes a significant step forward."
Football coach Bill O'Brien (who was hired after last season): " I will do everything in my power to not only comply, but help guide the university forward to become a national leader in ethics, compliance and operational excellence."
Update at 10:30 a.m. ET. More Crippling Than A "Death Penalty?"
Though the university did not get the NCAA's so-called death penalty, which would have banned the football team from competing for at least one season, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says the punishments are likely to have an even "more crippling effect" because of their length and severity. Barring Penn State from postseason play for four years, for example, may make it difficult to recruit top players. And current players will be allowed to transfer to other schools without having to wait to compete again.
Update at 10 a.m. ET. Big Ten To Announce Its Penalties.
"The Big Ten will also sanction Penn State," ESPN says. "The conference has called an 11 a.m. ET news conference to announce to league-related penalties."
Update at 9:35 a.m. ET. Paterno Is No Longer Division I Record Holder:
As USA Today points out, just before his firing last November, Paterno had set the record for most wins as a Division I football coach — with 409. Wiping away the wins from 1998-2011 removes 111 victories from his record, the newspaper says. So, "the loss of victories means Joe Paterno is no longer college football's winningest coach." (Note at 10:55 a.m. ET: USA Today has corrected its report to say the penalty erases 111 wins, not 112."
"With the wins from 1998-2011 vacated, Paterno drops from 409 wins to 298, dropping him from first to 12th on the winningest NCAA football coach list. Penn State will also have six bowl wins and two conference championships erased."
Update at 9:25 a.m ET. Penn State Will Not Challenge Penalties, Emmert Says:
Asked if he expects the school will file an appeal, Emmert just told reporters that Penn State has signed an agreement accepting the punishments.
More now with Dr. Mark Emmert, the president of the NCAA and formerly president of the University of Washington. Welcome to the program.
MARK EMMERT: Thank you for having me.
SIEGEL: Let me ask you first, why didn't you impose what they call the death penalty and shut down the Penn State football program for a year or so?
EMMERT: Well, we - and by we I mean myself and our executive committee and the Division I board of directors - certainly explored that option and considered it very seriously. But in the end, we concluded that the suspension of program, the so-called death penalty, was in many ways too blunt an instrument. It had a very large impact on a lot of people who have very little or nothing at all to do with this case, and similarly, we were recognizing the very good work that's been done by Penn State's new chairwoman of the board and its new president to be as open and forthright as they've been throughout this process.
And when we looked at it over an extended period of time, we realized what we wanted was a series of penalties that were tightly focused that also would provide the opportunity for the university to change its culture, to get better...
SIEGEL: Yeah.
EMMERT: ...to improve upon its current circumstance, and that's the package of sanctions that we came up with.
SIEGEL: You've spoken of the culture at Penn State. Isn't it fair to say that the notion that the culture of football trumps other academic concerns at American universities, that isn't confined to Penn State? Wouldn't you say that that's true of many schools with big football programs?
EMMERT: Well, of course. And this has obviously been part of the dynamic tension of college sports for more than a century. It's one of the reasons that the NCAA was formed over 100 years ago, and it is something that universities and their communities have always sought to balance. And the message of this cautionary tale for the rest of higher education, of course, is that we simply can't allow football or other athletic programs to become such a dominant force that they overwhelm the values of the academy and the values that we all want to adhere to.
SIEGEL: Dr. Emmert, why is it that the NCAA only steps in after Ohio State football players sell their jerseys for tattoos and the coach says he didn't know, or after it turns out that USC boosters were paying a star player and now after what's happened at Penn State? Shouldn't there be, by now, some systemic reform of college football so that these things might be prevented rather than merely remedied?
EMMERT: Well, we certainly work very hard at that, and indeed, we are right now in the midst of a very large-scale reform in all of our dimensions of regulation and supervision of college athletics. This past fall, we put in place new academic standards to make sure that our student athletes are being successful as students and indeed they fit the definition of a student as well as an athlete. We are going to in actually just a little over a week vote on a new model for our enforcement process and our penalty structure and our adjudication system. And we will probably by January have completely rewritten the Division I rulebook, which is a ponderous document with many regulations in it that are downright silly and that distract from the core values of the NCAA. So we have always, as the association in its 100 years, sought to be more preventative than punitive. We nonetheless are constantly in the process of trying to keep up with the developments that occur in college sport, and our new reforms, I think, are going to be a very, very big step in that direction.
SIEGEL: You mentioned that one reason for not imposing the death penalty was not punishing young people in the football program for the misdeeds of past administrators and coaches. The family of Joe Paterno issued a statement calling the NCAA sanctions a panicked response that punishes Penn State students. In fact, doesn't barring their participating in bowl games or televised games, doesn't that punish students on the football team?
EMMERT: Well, it's certainly meant to have a punitive impact on the institution. But what we're trying to say is, look, for the next four or five years, Penn State, don't worry about going to the Rose Bowl, worry about getting your culture right, worry about finding the right balance between academics and athletics and reintegrating your athletic program into the full body of the university. This needs to be about more than just trying to get to a bowl game but about having athletics find its rightful place in the academy.
SIEGEL: But those concerns sound perfectly appropriate to lots of universities where there hasn't been felonious behavior by a former member of the coaching staff. Why not bring those same pressures to bear on the - who knows how many other universities where football is king?
EMMERT: Well, you know, the fact that football in of itself is very popular and very successful doesn't mean that the institution is doing anything wrong or egregious. You know, in this particular case, most everyone agrees that this was as egregious a behavior as anyone's seen in an NCAA case because of the nature, of course, of the criminal acts, which the NCAA has nothing to do with.
We focus so much attention on cases like this and then, when you look at the behavior that's outlined in the Freeh report around that criminal conduct, this case rises far and above most all of the other cases that we've seen. And the fact that football is popular or basketball is popular at an institution and, indeed, that a coach is held in very, very high regard doesn't necessarily mean anything wrong is going on there, but it certainly does mean that the people in those university environments need to be very, very attentive to not letting the athletic tail wag the academic dog.
SIEGEL: Dr. Emmert, thank you very much for talking with us.
EMMERT: My pleasure.
SIEGEL: That's Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA, talking with us from Indianapolis about today's sanctions against Penn State University. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A pickup jumped the curb and hit a downtown business late Friday morning.
A Pratt man was slightly injured and a business damaged late Friday morning when a pickup jumped the curb and crashed into the EBH engineering office in the 300 block of South Main.
Glen Pritchett, 87 of Pratt, was trying to park his 1998 Ford F150 pickup when his foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas, Pritchett said.
The pickup jumped the curb and hit the corner of the entrance of the EBH offices. Two large plate glass windows were broken to pieces while a third was cracked.
The force of the collision caused slight damage to a desk inside the building and scattered business papers across the floor. Broken glass fell inside the building but blinds stopped most of it from hitting the desk.
The business was closed for the Thanksgiving weekend so no one was in the building when the accident occurred.
Pritchett suffered a deep cut to one hand but other than that was not injured. He refused transport to Pratt Regional Medical Center but did plan to go anyway by private vehicle.

Bracketology 101's Field of 68 - Dec. 13
You'll notice that some teams have essentially "earned" their ranking and are seeded where they are because of one or more big non-conference wins (see: Connecticut, Tennessee, Louisville). Others are hanging on to a decent seed line or remain in the field because, even though their resume is weak right now (see: Michigan State, Gonzaga, Butler, Washington), we project that once conference play starts, they will regroup and earn their spot.
Gonzaga and Butler are probably two of the toughest calls to make right now, but both ended up in First Four games in our latest bracket. Gonzaga isn't even a .500 team as of today, but they still have plenty of chances to get quality OOC wins (they have games left with Baylor, Xavier, Oklahoma State, and Memphis) and they'll finish no worse than second in a pretty weak WCC. Butler, meanwhile, has whiffed on all of its OOC challenges to date (and lost a resume-killer to Evansville), but they still have a chance to pick up some quality wins at the upcoming Diamond Head Classic. A couple wins there, followed by a one- or two-loss season in the Horizon, will put the Bulldogs firmly on the bubble come March.

SEC went down to four? I thought you said in your last bracket that you still thought SEC would get six bids despite early season slump? No SEC west? What changed? I'm also curious about the Horizon league getting two bids? Are you saying that you think they will both do well enough to make tournament as At-Larges if they dont win conference tourney?
Also im very lost with your thoughts about ACC. Virginia and Maryland in making 7 ACC teams with Va Tech and NC State very close on the bubble. Sorry but I just think that only 1 of these teams (that performs well in conference) will make it. Virginia is a streaky shooting team that is doomed to perform poorly in conference. Maryland did nothing out of conference against good teams. Va Tech i think is the best of 4 but they have proved inconsistent. Lastly NC State lost every game in non-conference against good teams. Just cant see more then one of these teams getting in. ACC doesnt deserve seven bids.

A lot has changed since we made those comments about the SEC. A few weeks ago, we thought the SEC could be a six-bid league, but since then, Mississippi State suffered two brutal losses to Florida Atlantic and ETSU and Georgia got squeezed out by some bubble teams that have done more with their OOC schedules. The SEC West has done nothing OOC, which not only hurts the league's overall profile, it left the West without a bid in our latest field. Mississippi and Mississippi State are the two most talented teams in the West, but they need to spruce up their resumes if they want to get in.
The Horizon is going to get at most one at-large bid. Butler wouldn't be at-large worthy if the season ended today, but they have some chances in the next couple of weeks to add some quality OOC wins to their resume. The same could be said of Cleveland State, who is undefeated thanks to a pretty cupcake schedule. If they can win at West Virginia this weekend, they can feel a lot better about their spot in the field.
We agree that the ACC is maxed out at seven bids (Maryland is our last team in), but in putting together the bracket, there weren't a whole lot of other options out there. It's still super-early, and if a team has lost games to the one or two quality OOC opponents they've played, it's hard to judge them. The one good thing the ACC has going for it right now is that it may not have a lot of great teams (like the Big East or Big Ten) but it has a lot of depth. Virginia Tech and NC State are very talented teams that could easily be back in the bracket soon. In the end, we think the league has a better chance of getting 6-7 bids than it does of getting 5.
I really don't get why Tennessee isn't a 1 seed. You aren't going to get any arguments from me that Duke is the best team, but at the same time I think it's pretty obvious that Tennessee has the best resume right now. Villanova and Pittsburgh, both on neutral floors, are easily the best pair of wins any of the undefeated teams have at this point. Missouri State and VCU are most certainly going to be Top 100 wins at the end of the year too. I just don't see what would indicate to you at this point (unless you think Pearl sitting out the first 8 SEC games is THAT big) that they won't win the SEC and finish with a top 5 ranking.
I really hate seeing Clevland State in the bracket when they have beaten absolutley no one so far this season. Athough i do understand you had to put them in. Even if they lose to West Virginia and two or 3 conference games and Butler in the tourney, do you still think they will make it into the tourney with 5 losses despite not winning a game against a decent team?
Where do you all see Michigan right now?
- aaron.fidler said...
Seven teams from the ACC?
There must be some sort of mistake here.
If you would read up dude you would see why seven. ACC has a lot of decent teams just no great teams. This will result in them getting a lot of teams barely in, in the 6-11 range. Also it woulda been six but addition of four teams has Maryland in as well.
Saying what I just said about ACC, I still think Big Ten will be in consideration for 8 teams over ACC at seven based on the fact that everyone but Iowa is in RPI top 100 currently in the Big 10.
- Bracketology 101 said...
Everyone needs to keep in mind that this is now a 68 team field. Three more teams in the bracket is quite substantial. A 65 team field this week would only have 6 ACC teams in it (no Maryland). It will take us all some time to adjust to a 68 team field after getting so used to the 65 team field.
- Bracketology 101 said...
We didn't give Tennessee a 1 seed because we knew they were going to lose to Oakland.
Seriously, though, the Vols' 2 seed was more of an indictment on the SEC than anything else. Winning the Big Ten, Big East, ACC, or Big XII is going to be a bigger accomplishment than winning the SEC. That's why we have Duke, Ohio State, Kansas, and Syracuse as 1s for the moment.
If the committee stands by its long-standing mantra of "who did you play and where did you play them," your Cleveland State scenario probably would not get them in. If Cleveland State beats West Virginia ths weekend, they'll be in the bracket for a while. If they don't, it'll make their BracketBuster game a must-win and they might have to sweep Butler in conference to get a bid.
Michigan came up in our bubble discussion this week. The biggest problem for the Wolverines is that their best win (at Clemson) was immediately followed by a questionable loss to UTEP. They'll enter conference play as the eighth best Big Ten team, which isn't good enough for a bid.
So now that Tennessee lost at home to Oakland, and Louisville lost at home to Drexel, where are they going to be in the bracket
- Bracketology 101 said...
If we did a bracket, Tennessee would probably drop to the bottom of the 2 line and Louisville would drop to a low 5/high 6. Oakland would likely be at the top of the 13 line.
Michigan lost to UTEP *before* beating Clemson, not after. Although I can understand why you'd leave them out of the bracket. Let them take care of Oakland and separate themselves from Indiana before we talk about an 8th Big Ten team. Winning 9 Big Ten games this year is going to be no small feat.
Also, those losses to ETSU and whatnot make me question whether Mississippi State is a tournament team even with Bost and Sidney. I mean, that's a lot to ask of a kid who hasn't played ball in almost 2 years.
- Bracketology 101 said...
Whoops...meant "preceded," typed "followed." Can I blame new father fatigue?
We agree with you on Michigan - the Big Ten is super-deep, but it's not getting eight bids. The silver lining for teams like Michigan and Indiana, though, is that they will have plenty of chances to pad their resumes once conference play starts. Let's see how the Wolverines handle the 8-day stretch they have beginning Jan. 5 - they play at Wisconsin, then host Kansas and Ohio State. One win would work wonders for their resume; two would get them in the bracket.
Been having this discussion with a few other Wolverine fans, if Michigan were to somehow pull the Kansas upset, would an 8-10 record in the Big Ten suffice for the tournament?
I tend to believe we would need to be .500, but it remains to be seen how many bids the conference will get.
Switching briefly to my other team, do you see the SEC conference as a detriment to Kentucky in the way it was last year (Kentucky never really seemed to be in consideration for top seeds over teams with the same record, even though it only came down to KU-UK). Put another way, what does UK need to do with SEC play and Louisville at this point to maintain that 3 seed you have them at?
- Bracketology 101 said...
With a 68-team field and the Big Ten as loaded as it is, there's a decent chance a team could get in with an 8-10 conference record and a big OOC win (in Michigan's case, beating Kansas). A 9-9 record and a win over the Jayhawks would give them a really good chance at getting in.
This is looking really far ahead, but here are some ways Kentucky can stay a 3 seed (or maybe get higher): 1. Beat Louisville and finish in the top 2 in the SEC; 2. Lose to Lousiville, but win 3 out of 4 from Tennessee and Florida. The problem going forward for Kentucky , if they want a top 3 seed, is that there are few real good wins to be had in conference. Aside from Tennessee, Florida, and Vandy, no other wins (at least based on what's happened so far) look like they'll add much to their resume.
I actually was watching a sports show on TV where the commentator mentioned that UNLV's second straight loss means they are in "dire risk" of missing the tournament...REALLY?? I can't believe their wins of Wisconsin, Virginia Tech and Murray State don't amount to much. What are your thoughts on the Rebels at this point?
- Bracketology 101 said...
You might want to stop watching that sports show. The Rebels are still solidly in the field, and would probably be in the 8-9 range if we did a bracket today. Losing at Louisville is not a bad loss, and UCSB is the best team in the Big West. We're not excusing UNLV's performance Wednesday night, considering they shot 29 percent for the game and lost at home, but that loss didn't knock them out of the field by any stretch.
As long as UNLV finishes in the top three in the MWC and splits with SDSU and BYU, they'll be comfortably in.
These back to back losses for Tennessee have been crazy. I realize they have some great tournament resume wins right now, but bad is this for their hopes of being a top 3 or 4 seed?
That should read "how bad"
Yeah I was going to post something about here asking about Tennesse losses. Specially with this one coming against a team who just dismissed their top scorer from the school 3 days ago. And Charlotte only shot like 32 percent. This has gotta be detrimental to not only Tennesse, but to all of the SEC.
Michigan is now 9-2, just crushed Oakland who beat Tenn. They have opened my eyes as maybe that 8th Big Ten team who could get a bid. You think 9-9 in conference could get them in?
nevermind my question was answered I just didnt read it up above.
This Saturday and week has been weird. Their are way too many upsets going on for December. UIC beats Illinois? Tennesse losses twice this week? Florida crushes KSU? Baylor, BYU in trouble? Are you guys suprised as I am this week with all these upsets?
- Bracketology 101 said...
Some interesting results today, but the only shocking result is the Illinois loss. The other games you mention from Saturday are not too suprising. Florida may end up being the best team in the SEC, the BYU loss was essentially a road game against a UCLA team that only lost to Kansas by 1, and Gonzaga was due to pick up a big win.
Hey great post. Thought I'm not sure I agree with you 100%. Keep em coming. Are you interested in having anyone guest post opposing views?
- Bracketology 101 said...
Thanks. We love debating the bracket in the comments section of each post. If you have any questions, that would be the best place to ask them.
We'll have a new bracket up sometime in the next week.
Happy Holidays,
Chris & Craig
After getting run off the court in the 2nd half by, let's face it, a bad St. John's team, is it too early to say Northwestern is out? You'd have to think that defense is just too much of a liability.
SEC occurred to Cheap RS Goldfour? I thought anyone explained in your final bracket which you nonetheless imagined Securities and exchange commission's would likely obtain half a dozen rates for bids even with beginning period downturn? Simply no SEC gulf? Exactly what improved? I'm in addition interested in the particular Horizon group acquiring a couple prices for bids? Will you be stating that you think that they may both excel plenty of to create event seeing thatBuy WOW Gold At-Larges as long as they won't win meeting tourney?

Luther's seven game win streak came to an end after the Norse split a non-conference twin bill with UW-La Crosse 6-9, 9-8 (8) here in Decorah.
In game one, trailing 5-0 after two, La Crosse scored four in the third and five in the fifth, en route to the come-from-behind victory. The Eagles Kelli Anderson hit a three-run home run in the third, while Alie Meyer hit a three-run shot in the fifth.
Shari Huber hit two lead off home runs, the first in the bottom of the first frame and the second in the bottom of the fourth. Miranda McCay also tallied two RBI with a single during Luther's three-run first.
Becca Girvan (11-3) was credited with the loss. Girvan pitched four innings, allowed nine runs on eight hits, walked three and struck out one. Kelsy Rose pitched the final three innings and spread four hits and struck out one.
Kelsey Weindruch and Katie Wieland.
In the eigth, Elise Miller led off with a single to left field. Lindsey Uphoff pinch ran for Miller and advanced to second when Eagles pitcher Lauren Beres committed an error on Kayla Hattings slap back to the circle. Uphoff scored the game winner when Huber hit a fly ball to the left-center field warning track that was dropped.
Girvan (12-3) picked up the win in relief. Girvan threw the final 3 1/3 innings and held the Eagles scoreless, striking out three.
The Norse will return to Iowa Conference action this Saturday when they will host the Storm of Simpson College at 2:00 p.m. Both games will be video streamed.

SOURCE: The Well-Centered Child, November 2004
The average preschooler is estimated to catch at least four to six colds per year. Any parent who has ever been up at night with a feverish, coughing child knows that even one cold is too many.
By working with your child's caregiver, you may be able to cut down on the number of colds passed from child to child in the classroom:
MSGL asks that you keep your child home if your child has an extremely runny nose and/or constant cough, even if there is no fever. The potential of spreading the cold is too great, as well as your child is most likely too miserable to truly benefit from attending class that day. If your child comes to school with these symptoms or develops them during the day, we will call you and ask that you pick up you child. Because we do not have a school nurse, it is imperative that we have the numbers necessary to reach you in a timely manner. Thank you!
Did you know that there is a Health Note list in the office that lists known classroom illnesses that are contagious? The illnesses are listed by Class Name, not by Student Name, to maintain confidentiality. Parents of a sick child are asked to communicate with the office or teacher when their child has a contagious illness; this helps other parents be on the look-out in case their child contracts the same illness. Thank you!

New assistant superintendent once sued Manchester school board memberBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 30. 2013 10:57PM
MANCHESTER — A former Manchester High School Central assistant principal who once sued Board of School Committee member Arthur Beaudry for defamation of character was hired Tuesday night as an assistant superintendent in an 8-6 vote.
Mayor Ted Gatsas, who serves as chairman of the school board, confirmed that David Ryan was selected Tuesday night.
In 2005, Ryan sued Beaudry, alleging that the Ward 9 school board member repeatedly urged administrators to fire him.
Beaudry, who accused Ryan of moonlighting on school time, consistently denied any wrongdoing. Ryan and Beaudry settled the lawsuit in 2006.
Beaudry sued the school district to cover his legal fees.
That suit was settled in 2008.
Ryan left Central in 2006 to accept a position as principal at Nashua High School North.
Gatsas said Beaudry and board members John Avard, Roger Beauchamp, Christopher Stewart, Debra Gagnon Langston and Jason Cooper voted against Ryan's appointment.


text: In last week's edition of Waiver Wired, I profiled two early surprises among hitters, one bad and one good. This week, I'll turn my attention to two pitchers.We'll start with the bad. I'll concede that it was wrong to expect R.A. Dickey to duplicate what he did in his Cy Young campaign with the Mets last season, as he was making the switch to the more difficult league and a more hitter-friendly environment. However, I certainly wasn't expecting him to struggle this much, as he owns a disappointing 5.36 ERA and 33/17 K/BB ratio across his first seven starts with the Blue Jays. So, what's the deal?Dickey has lost about 2 mph on the average velocity of his knuckleball from last season, which makes me wonder if his recent neck and back issues have contributed to his struggles. It's easy to forget that the 38-year-old was very good pitcher from 2010-2011, so I'm not ready to write him off after a few lousy starts. Getting back to full health will likely be the big key to a potential turnaround, but I would consider a buy-low with him. Just don't expect the 2012 version.As for the good, we'll go with Patrick Corbin, who was featured in Waiver Wired just two weeks ago. After beating out Tyler Skaggs and Randall Delgado for a rotation spot during spring training, the 23-year-old southpaw ranks fifth in the National League with a 1.80 ERA and 12th with a 1.08 WHIP. He also owns a solid 32/10 K/BB ratio in 40 innings and has induced ground balls right around the league average.Corbin's ERA is bound to go up, as he has only allowed two home runs and has benefited from a fortunate strand rate, but I wouldn't necessarily sell high on him. I'm encouraged by the uptick with his fastball velocity and his slider just keeps getting better. He has the building blocks to be a useful pitcher in mixed leagues all season. MIXED LEAGUESJunichi Tazawa RP, Red Sox (Yahoo: 47 percent owned) Now that Andrew Bailey and Joel Hanrahan are both on the disabled list, Red Sox manager John Farrell has selected Tazawa to serve as the fill-in closer over Koji Uehara. It makes sense, as Tazawa gets plenty of swings and misses and has quietly been one of the best relievers in the game dating back to the start of last season. Meanwhile, Uehara's workload needs to be managed and he has had issues with the home run ball during his career. Hanrahan is headed to the 60-day disabled list while Bailey has a lengthy injury history, so there's a chance Tazawa could run away with the job. He's a must-own in all fantasy leagues. Dee Gordon SS, Dodgers (Yahoo: 25 percent owned)Gordon began the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, but the Dodgers finally called him up over the weekend after Hanley Ramirez strained his left hamstring. The 25-year-old is still a bit shaky defensively and offers nothing in the way of pop, but with 59 stolen bases in 148 major league games, he has the potential to be a major difference-maker in fantasy leagues if he can get on base at a reasonable clip. His walk rate in the minors this season provides reason for hope on that end. Gordon is worth owning in all fantasy formats in the short-term and could be relevant all season if the Dodgers decide to move Ramirez back to third base.Jose Fernandez SP, Marlins (Yahoo: 40 percent owned)Fernandez was dropped in some fantasy leagues after a recent rough patch, but the rookie right-hander bounced back last Saturday with the best start of his young career, limiting the Phillies to just one hit over seven shutout frames while striking out nine and walking just one. The 20-year-old now has an excellent 3.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 32/12 K/BB ratio in 31 innings across his first six starts in the majors. Some hesitation is understandable, as the Marlins won't offer much run support and Hernandez will have to adhere to pitch-counts and an eventual innings limit, but he should still be able to help in most mixed leagues. Domonic Brown OF, Phillies (Yahoo: 27 percent owned)Brown has been a bit of a mixed bag after an excellent spring, but the good news is that he already has six home runs in 34 games. That's a new career-high for the 25-year-old outfielder, who hit five homers in 56 games in each of the previous two seasons. His plate discipline hasn't been as good as we have seen in the past, but we're still talking about a small sample and his strikeout rate isn't higher than the league average. Brown is hitting plenty of line drives, so his .247 BABIP (batting average on balls in play) appears to be the product of some bad luck. With that in mind, look for his batting average to rise in the days ahead. There's 20-25 homer potential here if the Phillies do the right thing and stick with him. Jesus Montero C, Mariners (Yahoo: 41 percent owned) Many fantasy owners were hoping that Montero was ready to take a step forward this season, but things haven't worked so far. Through 22 games, the 23-year-old is hitting just .205/.250/.359 with three home runs and a .609 OPS. While he delivered a go-ahead homer on Wednesday, his lackluster production on offense hasn't been able to make up for his deficiencies behind the plate. This has caused Mariners manager Eric Wedge to give more playing time to Kelly Shoppach in recent days. It's possible that the effort put into his catching has hindered his progress at the plate, but I still have some optimism for Montero moving forward, especially if Mike Zunino's eventual arrival pushes his focus to the DH spot. Of course, there's a chance that Montero could be demoted if he continues to struggle, but that's a risk I'm willing to take in deeper formats. Kelly Johnson 2B/OF, Rays (Yahoo: 14 percent owned)Johnson has been a nice surprise for the Rays in the early part of the season, hitting .283 with five home runs, 18 RBI, four stolen bases and an .851 OPS through 29 games while making starts at DH, left field, second base and even first base. Yes, he's the perfect Joe Maddon player. The 31-year-old is no stranger to hot streaks, but his improved pitch selection has led to an increased contact rate. Let's hope he can keep it going. Johnson has always provided pop and speed, so he makes for an intriguing pickup in most formats.Dayan Viciedo OF, White Sox (Yahoo: 22 percent owned)Viciedo has been sidelined since April 18 with a left oblique strain, but he began a minor league rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Charlotte and could be activated from the disabled list as soon as this weekend. The 24-year-old was hitting just .229 with two homers and a 16/0 K/BB ratio in 13 games prior to the injury, but this is a guy produced 25 homers and 78 RBI in 147 games last season. It's not often that you find that kind of power potential just sitting there on the wire. Take advantage. Stephen Drew SS, Red Sox (Yahoo: 10 percent owned)Drew got off to a slow start after his concussion, but he has begun to look more like himself recently, hitting .389 (14-for-36) with two homers, one double, one triple, 10 RBI and six runs scored over his last 10 games. Remember, Drew averaged 15 home runs and 63 RBI per season from 2007-2010. It would hardly come as a shock if he approached similar production now that he's nearly two years removed from ankle surgery and will play the majority of his games in hitter-friendly stadiums. Give him a try in deeper mixed leagues.Heath Bell RP, Diamondbacks (Yahoo: 25 percent owned)With J.J. Putz facing a lengthy absence with an elbow injury, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson has given Bell the first crack to fill in at closer. The 35-year-old worked around a leadoff double to lock down Wednesday's victory over the Dodgers and now holds a 4.40 ERA and 20/3 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings this season. He has actually been quite good since he was knocked around by the Cardinals in his first appearance. Still, this is someone who had a 5.09 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 73 appearances last season and doesn't throw nearly as hard as he used to. Bell should be owned in all formats as long as he's getting the opportunity, but the job could belong to David Hernandez down the line. Wandy Rodriguez SP, Pirates (Yahoo: 48 percent owned)I'll admit that Rodriguez might not be the pitcher that he once was, as his swinging strike rate has dropped off in recent seasons, but I still think the veteran southpaw can be quite useful in certain matchups. With that in mind, his next start will be Friday night against the Mets, who aren't scoring many runs right now and have an especially tough time at Citi Field. And just a bonus, Rodriguez won't have to go up against Matt Harvey. If he's still sitting out there in a shallow league, pick him up and start him.Shopping at the five-and-dime:(Players owned in less than 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues)Oswaldo Arcia OF, Twins (Yahoo: 2 percent owned)Arcia had the best game of his brief major league career on Wednesday night against the Red Sox, going 4-for-5 with an RBI double. The big night pulled his batting average up from .255 to .300 for the year and he has now hit safely in six straight games. There figures to be some bumps in the road for the 22-year-old rookie, but Arcia hit for average and power in the minors and the Twins appear committed to giving him regular playing time. For what it's worth, I think he'll be more useful to fantasy owners this year than Marlins' outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who was rushed up to the majors last week and will likely be sent back down once Giancarlo Stanton is healthy. Arcia makes for a fine speculative add in five-outfielder formats. Mitch Moreland 1B, Rangers (Yahoo: 6 percent owned)Moreland got off to a really slow start this season, but he has been locked in over the past couple of weeks, hitting an even .400 with three home runs, six doubles and eight RBI over his last 16 games. And while we need to see a lot more, he has been surprisingly productive against southpaws, a trouble spot for him in the past. Moreland has traditionally fared much better at home as opposed to on the road, so it could pay to use him strategically, but I could see him reaching 20 homers for the first time if he can make it through a full season. That's pretty useful production from a corner infielder (CI) spot. Roberto Hernandez SP, Rays (Yahoo: 3 percent owned)Hernandez (formerly known as Fausto Carmona) doesn't just have a different name these days, but he also looks like a different pitcher. While his 4.66 ERA isn't all that impressive on the surface, he has a 37/11 K/BB ratio in 36 2/3 innings across six starts. Pretty interesting for someone who averaged just 5.2 K/9 between 2007-2012. While we're still talking about a small sample, the surprising spike in swings and misses appears to be the product of increased reliance on his changeup. And he's still inducing plenty of grounders like usual. Before you dismiss him as an option, just remember that the Rays have a history of making lemons into lemonade. Put him on your radar. NL ONLYDerek Dietrich 2B, Marlins (Yahoo: 0 percent owned)After losing both Donovan Solano and Chris Valaika to injury over the past week, the Marlins called up Dietrich from Double-A Jacksonville on Wednesday to fill in at second base. Dietrich, who was acquired from the Rays during the winter in the Yunel Escobar deal, owns a .279/.347/.473 batting line over parts of four seasons in the minors. The 23-year-old isn't known for his speed, but he possesses good pop for a middle infielder. He was also making some nice strides with his plate discipline in a small sample in Double-A this season. Solano figures to be back in the next couple of weeks, but Dietrich is well worth a flier in the short-term. Tyler Moore 1B/OF, Nationals (Yahoo: 0 percent owned)With Jayson Werth facing a possible stint on the disabled list due to lingering hamstring soreness, Moore could stand to benefit in the days ahead. Granted, the 26-year-old is hitting just .167 (7-for-42) with one homer and a 20/2 K/BB ratio through 19 games this season, but don't forget that he had 10 homers and an .840 OPS in 156 at-bats as a rookie last season. He could be pretty valuable in the short-term if Werth needs a break. AL ONLYKyle Gibson SP, Twins (Yahoo: 0 percent owned)Gibson's major league debut could be right around the corner. The 25-year-old struck out nine in a shutout with Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday night and now holds a 3.32 ERA and 35/11 K/BB ratio over 40 2/3 innings this season. Of course, he likely would have been in the Twins' rotation a long time ago if it wasn't for Tommy John surgery in September of 2011, so the talent isn't a question. Perhaps the Twins will wait until June to call him up due to service time considerations, but the 2009 first-round pick is worth waiting for in AL-only formats. Stash away.Jimmy Paredes OF, Astros (Yahoo: 0 percent owned)The Astros did a mini-overhaul of their outfield this week, designating Rick Ankiel and Fernando Martinez for assignment while calling up Paredes and Trevor Crowe from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Paredes is the most interesting name from a fantasy perspective. While the 24-year-old hasn't done much in sporadic opportunities at the major league level, he has stolen 157 bases over 545 games in the minors and is capable of showing some occasional pop. It wouldn't take much for him to earn significant playing time, so take a flier. Jeff Baker 1B/OF, Rangers (Yahoo: 0 percent owned) Baker has been red-hot out of the gate this season, hitting .333 (11-for-33) with three home runs, two doubles and six RBI through 17 games. The 31-year-old even earned some playing time in left field last week over the struggling David Murphy. Baker owns an .861 OPS against left-handed pitching for his career, so don't rule out the possibility for increased playing time if Murphy's funk continues. He's a nice versatile option to have around.

Sad but he won't be the first or the last .. Growing up my dad was the MD of a big federal company; we live very lavish until he lost the job. For the first 5 years we didn't adjust to the reality and continued living comfortably yet no real income was coming in. In 5 years we became poor as a church rat, gradually all the cars were sold and various things…. My dad never recovered but thank God someone how we all went to Uni and have good jobs now to take care of him and bring the family back from poverty. It taught me a valuable life lesson
Sometimes no one stays on top forever ….. Be wise when you are on top , money comes and money goes.

It is called entertainment and can be interpreted anyway! A picture is worth a thousand words they say.This can mean anything. The 2nd picture shows him with a crowd of people behind him.. maybe he used a bike to the venue or from the venue.Delete
Before the ban of Okadas in some states, people used bikes not because they have no cars or money but simply to get to their destination faster cos of the freaking bloody traffic! I personally have come down from a vehicle to use a bike to get to the Airport... i couldn't afford to miss the last flight! and when i am terribly late for work. That doesn't mean anything other than i was running late so i used another mode of transportation. I am sure you may have used a bike even though you are comfortable in life.
It should simply mean for entertainment.
Mitt Romney was snapped in a gas station in America some days after the election filling the tank of his car by himself! He folded the sleeve of the shirt he was wearing like any other man would do. This did not mean that things were hard for him. We all know he is ok. It was purely for entertainment and for people to have a blast just making fun at him because of all d election brouhaha!

Being that I am basically a lemming at heart, I figured I would try my hand at the scarf that is taking the nation by storm. I am of course referring to My So Called Scarf, a winning project that has been undertaken by no less that 1,779 knitters on Ravelry. I told myself that if 1,779 people can do it, why can't I? And since I would place my knitting i.q. squarely within the respectable B+ range, I figured that I would be safe in assuming that I could tackle this pattern without too much fuss.
Well, I futzed around with the directions for an hour or so trying to comprehend the first row, but to no avail. I even sent the Darling of the room because he was trying to talk to me about how much he loves Jack Lemmon (a subject for which I would normally be very, very game) and I simply couldn't focus on the task at hand. The directions are simple and clear yet I just wasn't grasping their meaning. Scratching my head I went back over to Ravelry and looked at the icons of the people who had successfully completed the pattern. They ranged in gender, age, and geographical location and didn't seem like they looked THAT much smarter than me. Ever more frustrated and peeved, I snooped around some more and found links to what would turn out to be my salvation: Youtube. Several knitters had actually posted video tutorials to the pattern, and after no less than 10 minutes I was well on my way. Hip Hip Hooray!
Youtube: it's not just for Kelly videos anymore but a bona fide knitting resource. Who knew? Maybe you did--do you have any particularly helpful Youtube tutorials to share ?
I did the scarf in Dream in Color Classy (Ruby River), a recently acquired yarn that I am just absolutely loving the living daylights out of despite its ridiculous, and I mean RIDICULOUS name. Classy? Tacky. Right? Anyway, the variation in the color is subtle and produced a rich, textured garment. The yarn is also soft and not even slightly splitty. If you haven't tried it, I urge you to do so asap, despite the unfortunate name.
The Specs
Pattern: My So-Called Scarf
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy, Ruby River, .65 of a skein
Needles: size 9
Mods: I only cast on 22 sts as I was in the mood for a skinny scarf.
Should I be concerned that during our fashion shoot Tween Thing noted that "...all I need are some pumps and a Marc Jacobs skirt and I'm ready for the business world!"? At her age I dare say I was still in Levis husky cords and (very unflattering) rugby shirts and had no clue about designers and fashion. The next couple of years might indeed bring on that nervous breakdown I have just so deftly avoided...
Please stay tuned for the last gasp of I'm-on-break-from-school knitting, which will include a Jo Sharp Silk Road Aran Tweed Drive-Thru extravaganza, copycat knitting (meaning that whatever Babs does I have to do, too--she has that effect on people), and an upcoming series of top-secret knitted gifts for a very special Bald

After listening to Itzi Meztli condemning Jim Eckstein at every Butler County commissioners meeting, I felt compelled to find out more about Meztli.
I found a website — ratemyprofessor.com — that is used by students to communicate their thoughts to other students about college professors they might want to take classes from or avoid.
I found 42 comments about Meztli. Twenty-seven students said he was very easy; eight said he was funny; 13 said he was anti-white; four said he rambles; five said he goes off topic; and four said he was awful.
Meztli also is paid by taxpayers — the same as Eckstein.
If the student comments are only half-true, I feel Meztli hasn't any room to criticize anyone for not doing a good job.
Eckstein might not use all the right words, but he is doing the job he was elected to do.
When one political party has control for too long, someone is needed to shake things up.
Meztli said Eckstein put a lockbox in his office in late-night hours. Was he lurking in the halls at night, or being fed inside wrong information?
Eckstein said he took it in with the sheriff during the day.
Who is the liar?
With all the spies, I also would have a lockbox.
Why would this guy change his name to Itzi Meztli.
I hope Eckstein keeps up the good work.
