Two log hauling semi trucks rumbled south along Neosho Boulevard as I walked by Arvest Bank the other morning.
Two log hauling semi trucks rumbled south along Neosho Boulevard as I walked by Arvest Bank the other morning. The weather was warm but the skies were cloudy as I continued along Wildcat Boulevard thinking about our local wood industries.
Fifteen minutes later, as I reached my southern range, I noticed the two logging trucks were parked in the Auto Zone parking lot. I was sure they weren't waiting for auto parts, but that the loggers were in McDonalds tanking up for a hard days work in the woods.
For some reason, I always pictured in my mind that loggers would eat steak, three or four eggs over easy, American fried potatoes, and several pieces of honey and butter covered toast for a hearty breakfast. But times change. Today, they probably eat a cheese McMuffin and have their pancakes on a Styrofoam tray.
I was left wondering if anyone has the statistics on what effect the wood industry has on the economy of Newton and McDonald counties. There are the regular loggers and sawmills, plus the pallet builders, railroad tie cutters, mulch makers, the chip mill, and Missouri Walnut.
Have you noticed the commentator in the current Henry rifle commercials on television mentioning the wood for the Henry rifle stocks comes from Missouri? Is it Newton and McDonald County black walnut?
Newton and McDonald County rank in the top five Missouri counties for agricultural products sold each year. Are wood products considered an agricultural product? If not, where do these two counties rank on wood product sales?
Some of our local sawmills also recut wood from old buildings. "Used before wood" has an appeal to many people, as it gives a rustic look that cannot be duplicated. Some of our mills even have the machinery to make tongue and groove flooring.
Personally, I have a special appreciation for lumbermen. My maternal grandfather worked as a logger in the pine woods of northern Minnesota. He was a Swede who migrated first to Canada and then down into northern Minnesota where he worked in the woods.
A logging accident crushed his leg so he had to quit that profession. He then moved to southern Minnesota where he had some distant relatives. Although he limped a bit, he went to work on a farm and eventually had a farm of his own. When he was still a bachelor, he lived in the local hotel. There he fell in love with the cook's helper and they became my grandpa and grandma.
Take a walk, be thankful for wood-related jobs and products that are helping our local economies, use those signal lights, and see what you notice while passing along Wildcat Boulevard.

We do not sell model kits
All model ships listed on our website are display ready. This means when you receive the model, you take it out the box and display it. No rigging to tie, no parts to glue and no tools needed. A few select sailboat models require minor assembly and are shipped with the masts flat to prevent breakage during shipping.

Posted on July 10, 2009
So once in a while, people bring us books from other people. "My neighbor cleaned out her shelves" or "My local library was getting rid of these" or "My mother had no idea what to do with her old books". For a while, there was an outfit you could hire to tidy up your life for you, a sort of cross between a cleaning company and a hired nag, whose representatives would say "Are you ever going to read this again? Then let us give it to a worthy cause for you". We were the worthy cause.
The most memorable occasion of this came several years ago, when a lady brought us seven large, heavy boxes. Her neighbor had actually set these out at the curb for the garbage, and she felt this was a sin and a shame. She hunted around for somebody who would take just any old books, and heard about us.
I offered her a receipt, which she declined. "They aren't my books," she said, "So why should I get credit?"
She should have gotten credit because they were art books, nice, solid art books. Art books do brighten up a Book Fair so, and the money people pay for them brightens faces in other parts of the library.
When a donation comes in which seems to be all the same subject, I try to price it then and there: why bother sorting it onto a table and then pricing it? Pricing these, I couldn't help noticing that a lot of them were signed, not by the authors, but by the artists. This is the point at which witnesses swear dollar signs appeared in my eyes.
Half a dozen artists, in fact, had added a full-page sketch. One man, whose book had gray endpapers, had applied a white background to the page first, and sketched on that. Most of these were artists I had never heard of, but a) that's not too difficult to achieve and b) in any cases, their sketches are worth more than mine any day.
There were also some of the Chagall lithograph catalogues, the kind with original lithographs for jackets, and the first volume of Francois Daulte's Catalogue Raisonee of the works of Auguste Renoir. (This was the only volume ever published; the current market value runs between $3,000 and $5,000.) There was also a very beat-up volume on Rouault, which we're still thinking about. It is inscribed by somebody named Rouault, though it doesn't look like the artist's signature. Even if it turns out to be Rouault's daughter, nephew, or second cousin, you'll understand why we don't sneer at dumpster diving.
There's an art to it.

Richard Meryman will discuss his 45-year friendship with acclaimed painted Andrew Wyeth along with details of his new book "Andrew Wyeth: A Spoken Self-Portait."
While working for "Life" magazine in 1964, Richard Meryman met and befriended acclaimed artist Andrew Wyeth. Partly because Meryman is the son of a painter, the two found much to talk about over the years. So much so that, following Wyeth's death in 2009, Meryman found himself with 45 years of recorded interviews with Wyeth, his family, friends and models.
At 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 15, Meryman will discuss his memories of Wyeth and his new book, "Andrew Wyeth: A Spoken Self-Portrait" at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Penn. The book is set up as five skillfully crafted monologues around key themes in Wyeth's work. However, it's not just Wyeth's explanations. The voices of his subjects, neighbors, relatives and critics also help in painting a clearer picture of the scope and reach of Wyeth's work. The book also includes reproductions of the artwork discussed as well as previously unpublished photographs of Wyeth's studio taken in 2009.
Meryman's other books on Wyeth include the 1968 book of art "Andrew Wyeth" and the 1996 biography "Andrew Wyeth: A Secret Life." Copies of Meryman's books will be available in the museum shop following the presentation. Visitors are encouraged to have their copies signed as well. Due to time constraints, patrons will be limited to two signatures each.
The program is included with regular museum admission: $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and $6 for students and children. The Brandywine River Museum is located on U.S. Route 1 in Chadds Ford, Penn. For more information, visit the museum's website, www.brandywinemuseum.org, the "Brandywine River Musuem" Facebook page or call (610) 388-2700.

Between all of Mother's do's and don'ts, there were several words of wisdom I'll pass down the family tree.
1. The Smarts. You can lose all your possessions, but no one can take away your education.
2. Money Matters . Put away for a rainy day (every month)! You just never know...
3. Travel Triumph. Always pack your toothbrush and an extra set of clothes in your hand luggage.
4. Sweet Dreams. You have to get a good night's sleep to get the best of the day.
5. Natural Beauty. Have plenty of water, raw vegetables and fruit. You'll thank me later when you have naturally glowing skin.
6. Stress Management. Get rid of everything you don't need in your home, and stop overextending yourself!
7. Self-Care. Quit smoking, see a doctor, start exercising. Your body isn't a trash can!
8. Relationships. Don't be too quick to judge people before taking the time to understand them.
9. Marital Marvel. Keep the daily life nit picks in perspective with your gift of lifetime companionship.
10. Parenting. Your children will need your unconditional love. Always.
11. Flexibility. You may find something distasteful or someone not likeable, but when you use the word "hate," it leaves no room for change.
12. Responsibility. Get off the couch and go change the world!

As noted in some irate posts on the Steam Users' Forums, the standalone edition of DOOM 3 is no longer offered on Steam and is difficult or impossible to find on other digital distributors, where the newer DOOM 3: BFG Edition has taken its place. As noted on Eurogamer, the problem is that users have not yet been able to get DOOM 3 mods to work with the BFG Edition of the first-person shooter sequel, leaving those interested in a mod-friendly edition of the five year-old game with limited options (they mention the Super id Software Pack, but this no longer seems to be available in the U.S., either). This does not mean all hope is lost, however, as they have the following quote from a Bethesda rep on the situation: "We do realize that there are fans that would like to purchase the original version of the game, and we're looking into options for them. When there's new info to share, we'll let everyone know."

In addition to rallying from a double-digit deficit with less than eight minutes remaining, there was another interesting aspect to Iowa State's quarterfinal victory over Oklahoma. The Cyclones rallied to win the game with senior point guard Korie Lucious on the bench.
"Korie came to me out of a timeout and said, 'You keep going with these guys, they've got a great flow going,'" Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said after his team's 73-66 victory.
Lucious had missed all eight of his shot attempts. Bubu Palo, one of the team's best perimeter defenders, was doing a great job slowing the Sooners' offensive flow and senior Will Clyburn was taking over offensively and running the team as the point guard.
Lucious didn't get back in the game until just 20 seconds remained and Iowa State had secured the victory. The senior point guard, who sat out last season after transferring from Michigan State, was praised by Hoiberg for his unselfish attitude.
"That's Korie Lucious," Hoiberg said, "who hit a shot to help put a Michigan State team in a Final Four. When you have a guy as selfless as that on your team, that's a great luxury to have."

DURHAM, N.C. - Dukes doubles team of senior Mary Clayton and sophomore Ester Goldfeld cruised past the No. 3 doubles pair in the nation from William & Mary to lead the third-ranked Blue Devils women's tennis team past Tribe, 7-0, Saturday at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The Blue Devils have now tallied a 16-0 record in home openers under head coach Jamie Ashworth, and have only dropped one set so far in 2013.
"I was really happy with our doubles, specifically how we came out in doubles," Ashworth said. "Before the match we talked about having a lot of energy, a lot of purpose in every shot we hit. Not to hit shots just to hit shots, but everything we do has a plan and a purpose, and play with passion. If we can do those three things, and build on those three things the rest of the season then we take the results that we can get."
The Blue Devils came out with that energy in all three doubles matches, taking 3-0 leads on all courts. The doubles lineup was highlighted by the matchup between the duo of Clayton and Goldfeld and the third-ranked team of Maria Belaya and Jeltje Loomans. Clayton and Goldfeld came out of the gates as the aggressor, winning the first three games against the highly touted team from William & Mary, but found themselves down 40-0 in the fourth game. Clayton and Goldfeld were able to come back and tie the game at 40-40, before winning the next point to take the game and go up 4-0, dissipating any momentum the Tribe duo may have gained. Clayton and Goldfeld were able to continue their solid play, and cruised past Belaya and Loomans, 8-1.
"Duke played extremely well," said William & Mary head coach Tyler Thomson. "[They are a] very disciplined team. Very focused, and they are tough. We have things that we feel we can do better, but credit goes to Duke, they are a very good team."
Playing in the second doubles position, the tandem of sophomore Annie Mulholland and junior Marianne Jodoin followed closely behind and cruised past Anik Cepeda and Leeza Nemchinov, 8-2, thereby clinching the doubles point for the Blue Devils. The team of junior Hanna Mar and sophomore Monica Turewicz took an early 5-1 lead over Hope Johnson and Sydney Smith, but the match was left unfinished after Mulholland and Jodoin closed out their match.
In singles play, Mulholland cruised past Cepeda, 6-0, 6-2 in the fourth spot to take the first singles point, while Turewicz continued her strong play in just her third match back since the NCAA Tournament last spring to dominate Smith, 6-0, 6-2, at the number six spot.
Mar, the 10th ranked player in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings, broke serve three consecutive times to open the match in the No. 1 spot. Mar cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 win over Maria Belaya, putting the Blue Devils up 4-0 and clinching the match.
In the fifth position, No. 63 Jodoin won six consecutive games after dropping the first game in the opening set to down Johnson, 6-1, 6-2, while No. 53 Clayton overcame a 2-0 deficit in the first set to top Loomas, 6-3, 6-2, on the second court and put the Blue Devils up 6-0 over the Tribe.
In the final match of the day, No. 40 Ester Goldfeld exchanged the first four games with Nemchinov in the third spot dropping the next two to find herself down 4-2. Showing the resilience that she showed in her three set win at the Hawaii Invitational, Goldfeld battled back to win the first set 7-5, and carried that momentum to win the match, 7-5, 6-4.
"The more we can play against outside competition, the better," Ashworth said. "We have a little bit more depth than they do, and talent-wise we are better, so if we do those things that we talked about and play with energy than a match like that we should win, and we should take care of what we are supposed to and we were able to do that."
The Blue Devils are next slated to take to the courts at the ITA Kick-Off Weekend Jan. 26-27. Duke is set to face Wisconsin Jan. 26 at 10 a.m.

"When you think of the things that you want, and you focus on them with all of your intention, then the law of attraction will give you exactly what you want, every time."
— Lisa Nichols, one of the 24 "teachers" quoted in The Secret, the No. 1 nonfiction bestseller
Will The Secret make me rich? Jerry Adler eviscerated Rhonda Byrne's bestseller brilliantly in Newsweek (March 3, 2007), partly by quoting experts in history and psychology. But, you may wonder, what do experts know? Didn't "experts" tell us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that the Red Sox would never lose the Curse of the Bambino? Shouldn't somebody actually test the ideas in The Secret instead of just accepting Newsweek's word that they are scientifically "preposterous"? And what blog is bold enough to do that test except for One-Minute Book Reviews, home of innovations such as the Delete Key Awards for the year's worst writing, the Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guides and the Books I Didn't Finish category for books don't deliver on the promise of their great reviews?
Starting tomorrow, I'll test one of the ideas in The Secret every day until May 31 and write a post the next day about what happened. I'll also continue to post book reviews, which will appear in the post directly below the one on The Secret www.thesecret.tv.
Remember: Some of the experts in the book said you can see amazing results in just a few days, so you may be reading remarkable things in this space by the end of the week.
To avoid missing these posts, please bookmark this site or subscribe to the RSS feed. To read the Newsweek article on The Secret, Google "Adler + Newsweek + The Secret."

perlstyle - Perl style guide
Each programmer will, of course, have his or her own preferences in regards to formatting, but there are some general guidelines that will make your programs easier to read, understand, and maintain.
The most important thing is to run your programs under the -w flag at all times.
You may turn it off explicitly for particular portions of code via the
no warnings pragma or the
$^W variable if you must.
You should also always run under
use strict or know the reason why not.
use sigtrap and even
use diagnostics pragmas may also prove useful.
Regarding aesthetics of code lay out, about the only thing Larry cares strongly about is that the closing curly bracket of a multi-line BLOCK should line up with the keyword that started the construct. Beyond that, he has other preferences that aren't so strong:
and and
Larry has his reasons for each of these things, but he doesn't claim that everyone else's mind works the same as his does.
Here are some other more substantive style issues to think about:
open(FOO,$foo) || die "Can't open $foo: $!";
is better than
die "Can't open $foo: $!" unless open(FOO,$foo);
because the second way hides the main point of the statement in a modifier. On the other hand
print "Starting analysis\n" if $verbose;
is better than
$verbose && print "Starting analysis\n";
because the main point isn't whether the user typed -v or not.
Similarly, just because an operator lets you assume default arguments doesn't mean that you have to make use of the defaults. The defaults are there for lazy systems programmers writing one-shot programs. If you want your program to be readable, consider supplying the argument.
Along the same lines, just because you CAN omit parentheses in many places doesn't mean that you ought to:
return print reverse sort num values %array; return print(reverse(sort num (values(%array))));
When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi.
Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental welfare of the person who has to maintain the code after you, and who will probably put parentheses in the wrong place.
last operator so you can exit in the middle. Just "outdent" it a little to make it more visible:
LINE: for (;;) { statements; last LINE if $foo; next LINE if /^#/; statements; }
grep() (or
map()) or `backticks` in a void context, that is, when you just throw away their return values. Those functions all have return values, so use them. Otherwise use a
foreach() loop or the
system() function instead.
$] (
$PERL_VERSION in
English) to see if it will be there. The
Config module will also let you interrogate values determined by the Configure program when Perl was installed.
$gotit are probably ok, use underscores to separate words in longer identifiers. It is generally easier to read
$var_names_like_this than
$VarNamesLikeThis, especially for non-native speakers of English. It's also a simple rule that works consistently with
Package names are sometimes an exception to this rule. Perl informally reserves lowercase module names for "pragma" modules like
integer and
strict. Other modules should begin with a capital letter and use mixed case, but probably without underscores due to limitations in primitive file systems' representations of module names as files that must fit into a few sparse bytes.
$ALL_CAPS_HERE constants only (beware clashes with perl vars!) $Some_Caps_Here package-wide global/static $no_caps_here function scope my() or local() variables
Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase. E.g.,
You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or function should not be used outside the package that defined it.
/x modifier and put in some whitespace to make it look a little less like line noise. Don't use slash as a delimiter when your regexp has slashes or backslashes.
and and
or operators to avoid having to parenthesize list operators so much, and to reduce the incidence of punctuation operators like
&& and
||. Call your subroutines as if they were functions or list operators to avoid excessive ampersands and parentheses.
print() statements.
$IDX = $ST_MTIME; $IDX = $ST_ATIME if $opt_u; $IDX = $ST_CTIME if $opt_c; $IDX = $ST_SIZE if $opt_s; mkdir $tmpdir, 0700 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir: $!"; chdir($tmpdir) or die "can't chdir $tmpdir: $!"; mkdir 'tmp', 0777 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir/tmp: $!";
STDERR, include which program caused the problem, what the failed system call and arguments were, and (VERY IMPORTANT) should contain the standard system error message for what went wrong. Here's a simple but sufficient example:
opendir(D, $dir) or die "can't opendir $dir: $!";
tr [abc] [xyz];
use strict and
use warnings (or -w) in effect. Consider giving away your code. Consider changing your whole world view. Consider... oh, never mind.
C<> for function, variable and module names (and more generally anything that can be considered part of code, like filehandles or specific values). Note that function names are considered more readable with parentheses after their name, that is
B<> for commands names like cat or grep.
F<> or
C<> for file names.
F<> should be the only Pod code for file names, but as most Pod formatters render it as italic, Unix and Windows paths with their slashes and backslashes may be less readable, and better rendered with

As part of the announcements made at Build 2014, we have learned that Microsoft Visual Studio will now be enhanced through Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 Release Candidate, and that TypeScript 1.0 has now arrived as a fully supported language in Visual Studio VS2013 and VS2012.
First announced as TypeScript 0.8 in October 2012, the 1.0 version comes after what is now roughly 18 months of work and focus.
The TypeScript language for creating large-scale JavaScript applications is a "superset" of the JavaScript language itself; it can be used by software application developers who can now rest easy in the knowledge that type definition files based on 1.0 will be supported by future releases.
TypeScript is also now a "first-class citizen" of Visual Studio, and Microsoft says it will continue to invest in both the language and in making Visual Studio a more productive environment for both JavaScript and TypeScript development.
Microsoft's Jonathan Turner says that codebases written in TypeScript have been the TypeScript project's "proving ground", with some exceeding a half a million lines of code and continuing to grow in scale and complexity.
Microsoft will also provide Intellisense, project support, and code navigation features.
Community-contributed plug-ins for editors such as Eclipse also offer a "seamless" editing experience with statement completion, early errors, linting, and so on.
"Today, we're announcing that we will begin taking pull requests for the TypeScript compiler and language service. For now, we'll focus on fixing bugs, improving documentation, and general cleanup. This will help us get the gears turning and work out any kinks in the submission process. This will be a learning process for us, and we will be open with the community throughout the process. Please be patient with us while we make the inevitable adjustments. As we learn, we will continue to make TypeScript more open. We hope you'll be with us on this journey and contribute to the project," said Microsoft's Turner.

TRAINING: My training day is pretty much the same as always. My typical daily schedule is 12:00-2:00 pm team fight training, where we fight and grind like old school hard training. I have an incredible team that gets me ready and pushes me hard. Then home for lunch and rest and back at 7:30 pm for cardio / air dyne workouts, mitts, or a 5+ mile run. My day ends around 9:30 at night with dinner and sleep. It's the fighter lifestyle. 6 days a week fighting.

Replacing Hailee Parks will be tough task.
Four years ago Missouri S&T women's basketball head coach Alan Eads was looking to replace Lady Miner career scoring leader Tamara McCaskill as the anchor of his squad.
He only had to travel 40 miles east on I-44 to find her.
Now, Eads is again on the search for an anchor to replace that replacement – Hailee Parks.
Parks, a 5-11 forward, earlier this month wrapped up her outstanding S&T playing career.
The former all-stater from Sullivan (Mo.) High School stamped her name prominently in Lady Miner history as one of the program's all-time greats. She is just the second player in the program to achieve more than 1,300 career points and 700 career rebounds, joining Tanya Hough (1984-89).
Four years later, she is extremely pleased with her collegiate decision.
"I wanted to stay close to my family; I wanted my mom and dad to be able to see every game," said Parks, who was a three-time all-state selection at Sullivan High School, where she averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds and was named Four Rivers Conference Player of the Year as a senior. "And I wanted to play for a male coach, someone a little tough."
Parks has earned All-Great Lakes Valley Conference honors the past three seasons, and this season was a unanimous first-ream selection. And she was recently chosen to the All-GLVC Tournament team, as the Lady Miners were eliminated in quarterfinal action by Lewis.
As a senior Parks averaged 14.4 points and 7.8 rebounds.
In her four seasons here the Lady Miners have put together campaigns of 14-14, 20-8, 18-9 and 16-12. As a sophomore she helped the squad advance to the NCAA Division II National Tournament, win the GLVC West Division championship and for the first time in 16 years earn a national ranking.
"We've been successful throughout the years," Parks said. "Especially my sophomore year, making it to the national tournament and winning that conference title."
Except for six outings of her freshman campaign, Parks was a starter her entire 111-game Lady Miner career. She finished with 1,338 points and 733 rebounds for career averages of 12.1 points and 6.6 rebounds at S&T.
Indeed, Parks has been the face of the program the past couple of seasons.
"She's been a very consistent player since her freshman year," Eads said. "And she has only gotten better since her freshman year.
"We signed her right after we lost Tamara McCaskill, and Hailee kind of filled those shoes. Now we've got to find another one."
Parks did put up huge offensive numbers during her S&T career, but she was amazingly consistent most of the time.
"She is deceptive inside," Eads said of Parks. "He's strong inside and can step out and hit the 15-footer."
Since coming from Sullivan Parks has changed her body type, slimming down and, as a result, becoming more of a presence under the basket.
"Hailee has really worked hard in the weight room," Eads said. "We talked to her about it. But the last couple of years she has really done it on her own and has done a great job."
She said her biggest adjustment, naturally, came her first year here.
"My freshman year was a little tough, really more off the court than on," said Parks who is scheduled to graduate in May with a biological sciences degree with an emphasis in pre-medicine. "You don't have your mom there to wake you up for class. But you have more down time than you think. And with my major, it's been a lot easier than some of the other girls who are engineers and have more rigorous coursework."
Now Eads is on the recruiting trail, preparing for Life Without Parks.
"No question, you don't find them every day," he said. "You have got to have a certain type of student-athlete here. We were very fortunate to have Hailee. It's so close her whole family got to watch her and support her."
Four years ago the Lady Miners were on a quest for the next McCaskill.
Now they're looking for the next Parks.

Elmer Edgar Thompson, 74, of Franklin, Minn., formerly of Devils Lake, N.D., passed away at the Golden Living Center in Franklin on Friday, January 25, 2013.
Elmer Edgar Thompson, 74, of Franklin, Minn., formerly of Devils Lake, N.D., passed away at the Golden Living Center in Franklin on Friday, January 25, 2013. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, February 6 at 11 a.m. at the Gilbertson Funeral Home, Devils Lake, with a reception following at St Olaf Lutheran Church. Inurnment will be held at St. Catherine's Cemetery in Lomice, N.D. in the spring. Honorary pallbearers are Elmer's dear friends Earl Miller, Fred Rance Jr., and Gil Smith. Elmer was born January 21, 1939 in Devils Lake, the oldest of three boys born to Elbert and Ada (Hursman) Thompson. Elmer grew up in Penn, N.D., and attended school in Devils Lake. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1960-64. He was united in marriage to Ida Rice on March 30, 1962. Upon his honorable discharge from the Navy, they returned to Devils Lake where they made their home and raised four sons. The family enjoyed regular camping trips with extended family. They also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Elmer and Ida later divorced. On November 25, 1984 Elmer married Mildred "Millie" Miller of Lakota. They made their home in Devils Lake. During these years, he enjoyed reading and tinkering on projects around the house and in the garage.� They were later divorced, but remained together for a number of years after. Millie passed away September 5, 2009. Elmer worked as a mechanic and farmhand much of his life. He was employed by Farmers Union Oil Company, Dakota Implement and M&I Electric. His last job was helping Fred Rance Jr. of Webster as a mechanic on the farm, a job he thoroughly enjoyed. A massive stroke in May 2001 left Elmer partially paralyzed and forced him to retire. Since 2005, Elmer made his home in nursing homes in both North Dakota and Minnesota. Elmer's family is very appreciative to the Golden Living Center staff for the care that they gave Elmer during his life there. Elmer is survived by his four sons, Chris (Annette) of Fargo, N.D., Kevin (Liz) of Argusville, N.D., Nick (Jennifer) of Freeland, Wash, and Gene of Fargo; two brothers, Lloyd of Livonia, Mich, and Harold (Pauline) of California; 11 grandchildren; and two great grandchildren; four step-children, Earl (Judy) Miller, Michelle (Lynn) Haugen, Sandra (Ray) Schuh, and Michael (Cheryl) Miller. He was preceded in death by his parents, Millie, and sister-in-law Eileen. Gilbertson Funeral Home, Devils Lake, is in charge of arrangements.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Colorado man who wore pajama pants while robbing a Kansas bank has been sentenced to two years in federal prison.
The U.S. Attorney's office says a judge in Topeka sentenced 38-year-old Matthew W. Headley on Monday.
Headley, of Canon City, Colorado, pleaded guilty earlier to entering a US Bank branch in Lawrence last September and handing over a note demanding money.
Lawrence police found him at a nearby convenience store, still wearing the pajama pants and golf hat, but did not have enough evidence at the time to arrest him. He was arrested the next day driving west on Interstate 70 in northwestern Kansas.
Headley formerly lived in Lawrence. He pleaded guilty in 1998 to robbing two Lawrence businesses and was released from federal prison in 2007.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Federal investigators say bad weather and the pilot's inexperience likely led to a plane crash in April 2011 near Topeka that killed a Kansas family.
A National Transportation Safety Board report says 35-year-old pilot Dylan Spencer of Scott City apparently became disoriented while trying to land using flight instruments in overcast and rainy weather.
The Spencer family was flying from Scott City to Topeka on April 22, 2011 when the plane crashed while he tried to land at Topeka's Philip Billard Airport. Spencer, his wife, Amy, 34, and their two young children were killed.
The Hutchinson News reported Monday that Spencer had less than an hour of ``instrument time'' flying since he was rated to fly relying on instruments rather than sight.

Mike Florio wrote:The AP award likely will go to either of the top two picks in the draft, but it shouldn't. Wilson entered the league short on height and long on smarts and talent and determination. Russell Wilson commanded the No. 1 spot on the depth chart in Seattle, beating out big-money free-agent Matt Flynn and incumbent starter Tarvaris Jackson, and Wilson then began to prove week-in and week-out that he is as good as his more famous counterparts who were selected much higher.
Despite the 11-5 record for the Colts, Luck had too many turnovers (contributing to a mediocre passer rating of 76.5), and Griffin missed a game and crunch time in another due to an inability to avoid contact. While Luck broke Cam Newton's rookie passing yardage record, Wilson tied Peyton Manning's record for touchdown passes by a rookie — and Wilson showed that he could run the ball effectively (489 yards, four touchdowns) without getting hit or, in turn, hurt.
The best news is that the three rookie quarterbacks all made it to the playoffs, and they'll all make their postseason debuts on the same day.

NASCAR Countdown vs. Iowa Hawkeyes
Once again the top college football match-up for NASCAR fans is the Iowa Hawkeyes going head-to-head with Allen Bestwick and NASCAR Countdown on ESPN2. That is ESPN's College Gameday crew in Iowa above. NASCAR fans may recognize former NASCAR Countdown host Chris Fowler on the left.
The Nationwide Series pre-race show has been punted across ESPN networks, yanked off the air completely while in-progress and this week could possibly never see the light of day.
Bestwick, Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty are scheduled to be on-the-air at 3PM Eastern Time for a thirty minute program leading directly into the Nationwide Series race from Dover at 3:30PM.
Standing in the way are the powerful Iowa Hawkeyes who will be starting a college football game against Pitt at Noon. Even with the new play clock inserted into games this season, the average game length has continued to be close to three and a half hours. While this bodes well for fans seeing the race itself, it does not hold out much hope for NASCAR Countdown on this Saturday.
The second reason for this situation is that the ESPN Classic Network, long used as a "safety valve" for NASCAR is unavailable. As NASCAR fans might have guessed, that network is already being called into service to show a live college football game that will be in-progress at 3PM.
So, Bestwick and company may be all dressed-up with no place to go on this Saturday. One can only watch the progress of the football game to try and judge just how things will go for the NASCAR on ESPN gang when 3PM rolls around.
This post will serve to host your comments about the NASCAR Countdown show. There will be a new post up for the Nationwide Series race at 3PM.

no worries about the race itself. even if football runs 4 hours, just flip on over to espn deportes. the race will be shown live there. that is better than nothing.

This is one real reason why NASCAR needs to void its contract with the four letter network. We had to put up with this crap last season and it has only gotten worse. Not that I really care about hearing Rusty or Brad, I do like hearing AB. I tis a crying shame that NASCAR could not have the entire schedule on the Spped channel.

Countdown is toast, there's no need to even worry about that. The concern needs to be the race coverage itself.
If the AVERAGE college football games lasts 3 1/2 hours (brilliant move with the new clock rules, BTW) and the game starts at 12:05 or 12:10, that should take us to 3:35 or 3:40. A competitive game with late time-outs or overtime could easily push the game past 4:00.... long after the green flag falls.
Football on ESPN, football on ESPN Classic... yeah we're in trouble.
When an AVERAGE length game runs 40-45 minutes past its scheduled off-time that is a major problem and from a programming director's standpoint is an absurd mistake to make.
God forbid we miss the green flag on television I hope NASCAR uses that most recent slap in the face as motivation to finally dump ESPN for good.
This is a joke and needs to be addressed now. NASCAR isn't on Fox or CBS on NFL Sundays so it shouldn't be on an ESPN network on college football Saturdays either. Period.
As an aside is there some kind of "issue" with ESPN having room for live coverage of the Nationwide race in Memphis in a few weeks? Since February nascar.com hasn't had a TV network listed for that race and the NASCAR schedule on ESPN.com still lists that race's TV coverage as "undefined". I'm fearing there's a 90's flashback coming and we'll be stuck with tape-delayed late-night coverage of that race as our only option.

A very nice story developed in Nationwide qualifying with Randy MacDonald agreeing to lend his backup car to the Jimmy Means #52 team (who crashed in qualifying and had no backup car) so they could start the race and maintain their top 30 position in owner's points.
I sure hope ESPN finds the time to mention this great story on the televised portion of their coverage.

I am not yet ready to publish the column, but it looks like the Memphis race will be presented entirely on ESPN Classic.
There is simply no room at the inn on any of the ESPN main channels and SPEED has not gotten a phone call from ESPN or NASCAR about "lending" itself out once again.
The issue will be coming to a head this week and ESPN is not very happy that I have been asking about it.

espn a "Media partner"?!? Only in the demise of NASCAR.
I'm holding no hope of prerace & very little for the first 10 laps.
Becuz we KNOW they will not put it on espnews
And then theres the Memphis mess, maybe SPEED?

hey jd, please remind espn that some of us do NOT get espn classic so for them to say "but we put it on classic for you" is irrelevant to me. for me, this race will be non-existent on tv unless speed picks it up.
hey espn gang? if you can't find a home for the memphis race, maybe you should do the right thing by us fans and ask speed to handle it. you've made clear that nascar in general and n'wide series in particular are unimportant to you. i'm already loyal to speed b/c they seem to care about our sport and i would enjoy having them handle this broadcast since you're "too busy" to fulfill your obligations.
just one more reason why i will continue to boycott all things espn (altho' i am jones-ing for marty smith and ed hinton big time!)

The Memphis race lands on Breeder's Cup weekend. With a full slate of college football, something has to get squeezed. There still is another college football game ESPN is slated to air that day, but hasn't nailed down a time or network. It'll probably end up on Classic.
- September 20, 2008 at 1:19 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
They are trying to figure it out, but the Nationwide Series is not a key program for ESPN.
They wanted the final ten races of the Cup Series so they could have the entire Chase on ABC and they got it.
The practices, qualifying and even the Nationwide Series has proven to be nothing more to ESPN than noise that they must tolerate in order to show The Chase.
This was proven last season with the college football problems and is about to be proven yet again.
Ultimately, NASCAR cashed the ESPN check, to if there is anyone who should be addressing the situation it is NASCAR.
With the poor health of the Nationwide Series and the Craftsman Trucks almost on Life Support (31 trucks in Vegas) there should be someone speaking up.

the most recent ESPN college football game that I attended lasted well over 4 hours...there were so many times where the teams would head out on the field after a score or a kickoff and the ESPN on-field director would yell for them to come back off the field in order to let the commercials last. It really made the game at least 20 minutes longer than it had to be, and the guy was getting constant boos throughout the night (even though he was getting his orders to hold the teams via headset).
It was clear to see firsthand why these game always run longer than they are supposed to. The play clock was the least of the problems compared to this.

JD, at this point we'd probably be lucky to get that much from ESPN. I wouldn't be surprised if there was no live coverage period and we had to wait until midnight to watch tape-delayed coverage of that race.
Seriously, what else can ESPN do to screw the fans of the sport and the people in this sport before NASCAR wakes up and dumps this network? Tape-delays, network-shifts, joined-in-progress broadcasts, practice/qualifying coverage that ignores the on-track sessions, last year's Memphis debacle, this year's Bristol and Richmond 'dumps' to ESPN Classic, and publicly smearing the images of guys like Michael Waltrip and Ron Hornaday apparently weren't enough? Is this finally going to wake up someone in Daytona Beach? Is this series of events what you had in mind NASCAR when you brought ESPN back into the NASCAR fold?
I'd hate to think that NASCAR will keep waiting until ESPN inevitably decides to try to dig up dirt or fabricate stories on Brian France or Mike Helton as their next 'dump on NASCAR' project before they finally get a wake-up call and decide to take some action.

No worries for me today.
No ESPN for me today.
SPEED started a race at 1:00 pm today that will last right up to Tradin' Paint, NASCAR Performance and the Truck race.
I don't have to change the channel. woo-hoo
Hey JD- since NASCAR is buying out/into the Grand-AM series are you going to keep up with it too? (lol)

I have no idea why you get that impression. I'm not trying to pass myself off as other than just another poster speculating on what is going on and what should go on in the world of NASCAR TV broadcasts. Nothing more ... nothing less.

I suggested SPEED as a Memphis race alternative. This is because earlier this season NASCAR nixed Classic as a source for a live race. The limited distribution of Classic does not work for the current NASCAR TV contract I was told very unofficially.
AMS fan,
We are still working on the real reason that NASCAR bought the Grand-Am Series. That makes another series with essentially a COT format and one that is competing against classic sports car racing in the US at present.
I think we will be seeing some big announcements shortly about the developing synergy between NASCAR and Grand-Am.
You speak as if you are an ESPN employee in terms of facts. Unfortunately, your facts are often different from the ESPN info that they distribute to the media each week. If you want to talk from a personal perspective, you are welcome. No more "official" statements please.

New Contract should be entire Nationwide Series goes to FOX/SPEED. ESPN gets the cup races they have now.
It makes no sense to give ESPN all the nationwide series rights if they can barely fit them in on Saturday. FOX/SPEED are free almost every saturday during the NASCAR season.
JD. Do you think there is any possibility we will see what speed did back in 2003 when they bought the truck series rights from ESPN even though the contract wasnt up?

It is such a shame that the racing programming is treated so badly by the powers that be at ESPN and it would be great if Speed could get the Memphis rade and really show ESPN what good racing coverage should be. I just wish that there was a way as a long time fan I could really voice my dissatifaction to NASCAR to see if there was anywayt hat we could get rid of the terrible television coverage that has been handed to us.

The issue on the table is the health of the Truck Series.
Without three Trucks added late for Vegas, the NCTS would have only 28 starters. That is not cutting it when the goal was a full field.
Depending on the economy and the sponsorhip situation, we could see some shifts on the SPEED front.
ESPN has a long-term multi-year contract with NASCAR. Alterations to that for reasons like network carriage and on-air logistics would be discussions for those two parties.
Don't forget, the Nationwide Series is ESPN's only NASCAR presence in the field until late July at The Brickyard.
Either way, it should be a fascinating off-season.

JD- Wouldn't there be some sort of "carry" requirement and specifications in ESPN's N-wide contract? Could failing to provide a place for live carry of the Memphis race violate said contract provision?

Team scores seven goals in victory
After Friday afternoon's match, the Taft junior varsity girls soccer team was wishing the season would still be going on following a 7-0 victory over the Robert F. Kennedy Thunderbirds in Delano.
"This was the perfect way to end the season," said Taft coach Ryan Hickman. "The girls played inspired soccer, determined not to suffer the same disappointment as the last time we played."
With the victory, Taft ends the season with an overall record of 17-4-3 and a South Sequoia League record of 9-1-2. Taft ended the season by winning five out of their last six matches and finished in a tie for second place. Last year, the team only won two matches in league play according to Hickman.
Aydee Alvarez led the charge for Taft with three goals while Diana Cisneros had 2. Karen Quinonenz and Cristina Alveaz each had 1.
"To say I am proud of this team and what they girls have accomplished this season is an understatement," said Hickman. "Our sights are set on the SSL title next season and the program is heading in the right direction."

The risk or the cancer statistics. demonstrate that we have more of a chance of contracting cancer now- than ever before.
We want Equal Opportunity in employment, and even in other important areas.
Of course there are some parts of life we do not want to have equal opportunity in. One of those just happens to be--Cancer.
I am not saying that there are ways to cut your chance for cancer -- completely, (as I do not have data on that) but it is important to us and those we love to learn what we can do to minimize our chance of getting cancer. I am sure that means a lot to you as well as it does to myself.
The risk or the cancer statistics. demonstrate that we have more of a chance of contracting cancer now- than ever before. That is not good news!
What are the experts telling us about cancer?
From HealthGuide.org we learn:
Research shows that a large percentage of cancer-related deaths—maybe even the majority—are directly linked to lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, a lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet. Avoiding cigarettes, limiting alcohol, and getting regular exercise are a great start to an anti-cancer lifestyle. But to best support your health, you also need to look at your eating habits.
The problem as viewed by David Wolfe
Cancer now is the
#1 Cause of death
The World Health Organization tells us some Key facts:Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008 (1).Lung, stomach, liver, colon and breast cancer cause the most cancer deaths each year.About 30% of cancer deaths are due to the five leading behavioral and dietary risks: high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, alcohol use.Tobacco use is the most important risk factor for cancer causing 22% of global cancer deaths and 71% of global lung cancer deaths.Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 13.1 million deaths in 2030 (2).
David Wolfe informs us:
to Slash our Cancer Odds
Cancer cells have as many as 6 to 17 times as many receptor sites for insulin. Insulin delivers sugar to the cells. Cancer¹s sugar hunger indicates that it is best to be on a low-sugar diet. That means no starchy food, soda, candy bars, refined sugar of any kind, no carrot or beet juice, and no sweet fruit. This is the most basic dietary approach to cancer.
Another important element to consider is Dr. Otto Warburg¹s Nobel prize-winning discovery that cancer is anaerobic. Healthy cells require oxygen. Cancer cells must have a low or no oxygen environment. Any food or exercise that increases oxygenation is good because it helps decrease the reproduction of cancer cells. >From these two starting points: low sugar, high oxygen we can develop an entire anti-cancer program.
Since diet is so important, which foods are the best to fight cancer?
From Lifescript.com we that these foods are very helpful in slashing cancer:
How they help: All berries are low glycemic, so they are fruit that are not high in sugar, they contain antioxidants compounds, which may protect your cells from damage linked to cancer. They may also boost your immune system, says Lisa Young, Ph.D., R.D., author of The Portion Teller Plan (Broadway) and adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University.
They contain polyphenols, including ellagic acid and anthocyanins – antioxidants that counteract, reduce and repair damage to cells.
2. Grapes
How they help: A plant chemical called resveratrol, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, hides in grape skins – especially purple and red ones.
Studies have shown they may keep cancer cells from growing and inhibit tumors, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Cancers they may fight: Liver, stomach, breast and colon
How they help: Tomatoes get their bright red color from an antioxidant called lycopene, which can protect cells from damage and kill those that aren't growing properly, Doyle says.
They also may protect skin from cancer "by absorbing UV light," says Wilhelm Stahl, Ph.D., professor and antioxidant researcher at the University of Dusseldorf in Germany.
Cancers they may fight: Breast, lung, endometrial, skin, prostrate and mouth .
4. Cruciferous veggies
How they help: Cruciferous veggies (think broccoli, kale and cabbage) contain potential cancer fighters such as glucosinolates, crambene and indole-3-carbinol, says the American Institute for Cancer Research.
They also contain sulforaphane, which may keep cancer at bay by helping rid the body of carcinogens and inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to research from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.
Cancers they may fight: Stomach, breast, skin, mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophageal
5. Garlic
How it helps: Garlic contains unique antioxidant phytochemicals called allyl sulfides that "seem to intervene in several steps of the cancer process," says Karen Collins, R.D., C.D.N., nutrition advisor to the American Institute for Cancer Research. A 2007 study in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that these compounds inhibit colon tumor formation and cell growth.
Cancers it may fight: Stomach, esophageal, breast, lung and colon
. Tea
How it helps: Tea is chock full of antioxidants called catechins, which lab studies have found may stop growth of cancer cells and reduce the size of cancerous tumors.
Cancers it may fight: Colon, liver, breast, prostate, lung, skin, bladder, stomach and pancreatic
How it helps: "Flaxseed contains an antioxidant called lignans, which may help the body rid itself of carcinogens, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to reduce inflammation and boost the body's immune system," says Krista Haynes, R.D., a staff dietitian with the Cancer Project, a nonprofit group in Washington, D.C.
Cancers it may fight: Colon, breast, skin and lung
How they help: They may be tiny, but legumes such as peas, beans and lentils pack a big nutritional punch.
"They contain natural phytochemicals that are uniquely different from those in vegetables and whole grains."
These include saponins, protease inhibitors and phytica acid, which lab studies reveal may prevent the reproduction of cancer cells.
Fiber, too, can decrease your risk of colon cancer, according to a 2007 American Institute of Cancer Research report.
Cancers they may fight: Colon and stomach, among others
9. Dark-green leafy vegetables
How they help: These emerald-hued veggies contain folate and carotenoids.
"Carotenoids are antioxidants that aid cell-to-cell communication that controls cell growth, while folate is essential to protect our DNA, the starting point of any change that leads to cancer,"
Cancers they may fight: Breast, skin, lung, stomach, mouth, pharynx and larynx

GETS Goes National
Rising Sun Energy Center is proud to announce that its Green Energy Training Services (GETS) home performance training curriculum has been licensed by the Baltimore Center for Green Careers.
Rising Sun Energy Center is a community-based non-profit organization that provides green workforce development training and employment, as well as offering community education and low-to-no-cost residential retrofits that lower energy and water usage. Rising Sun developed the GETS curriculum in 2008 in response to local employers' need for trained energy auditors and efficiency installers. Since then, Rising Sun has prepared more than 300 dislocated workers and adults with barriers to employment for careers in the building performance sector. Rising Sun is a Building Performance Institute (BPI) testing center, and the GETS curriculum has been approved by BPI for four levels of certification.
The Baltimore Center for Green Careers, a CivicWorks venture, operates the B'More Green Energy Retrofit Installer Training to prepare local residents for entry-level jobs in weatherization and home performance. B'More Green's qualified and experienced instructors will implement the GETS curriculum through a combination of classroom and hands-on training. After completing the program, B'More Green graduates will be placed into entry-level green careers with employers that offer a living wage and opportunities for advancement
Rising Sun operates Rising Sun Energy Services, a building performance social enterprise that hires GETS graduates for paid on-the-job training performing energy audits and retrofits. Energy Services also allows current students to gain real-world experience by riding along with the crew for the day. This not only offers GETS students the chance to practice what they are learning in the classroom, it also helps crew members develop their leadership and field training skills.
Like Rising Sun, CivicWorks operates a building performance social enterprise, and will offer graduates of B'More Green's Energy Retrofit Installer Training the opportunity to participate in paid on-the-job training performing energy audits and retrofits on Baltimore homes.
In partnership with two local community colleges—Laney and Skyline—Rising Sun is preparing to participate in a pilot of the new Energy Auditor and Installer certifications developed by the National Renewable Energy Lab and rolled out by BPI this summer. With input from the GETS Employer Council, the GETS curriculum will be refined to reflect the new standards as these certifications gain traction in the industry.
Elena Foshay is the Director of Adult Programs for the Rising Sun Energy Center.

Through its programme on Globalization and Development Strategies, UNCTAD contributes to the international debate on globalization and the management of its consequences for developing countries.
The programme promotes policies at the national, regional and international level that are conducive to stable economic growth and sustainable development. It regularly examines the trends and prospects in the world economy, undertakes studies on the requirements for successful development strategies and on the debt problems of developing countries.
It also provides technical support to developing countries in their efforts to integrate into the international financial system and to manage their external debt.
At a roundtable discussion convened by the Commonwealth Secretariat yesterday at Marlborough House in London, Columbia University Professor Joseph Stiglitz, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, and LSE economist Andrew Charlton reiterated their call for the WTO to enshrine the "Right to Trade" within its dispute settlement system, and for the setting up of a Global Trade Facility fund administered by UNCTAD to assist countries maximise benefits of new market access won through the dispute settlement system and compensate for any losses.

Miles Sees Fans as Huskers 'Sixth Man'
Randy York's N-Sider
It's Fan Experience Night tonight at Pinnacle Bank Arena (PBA). In Tim Miles' book, that's Chapter One of 6th-Man 101 Training … a fresh start in a new building offering a unique opportunity to write a basketball novel with a finish that Nebraska has never, ever experienced … a season that includes a win in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. That's the elephant in a brand-spanking new building with 15,200 seats. Whenever a basketball program sells out six months before the opening tip, a head coach thinks and dreams before he relaxes and sleeps, and Miles, in his second year at the Husker helm, knows what can stimulate his players. So don't be surprised when a certain video featuring a certain celebrity explodes from PBA's big screens to launch a one-hour scrimmage on the first day major college basketball teams can practice.
Miles did not see that video until Wednesday afternoon and in a Thursday morning basketball meeting to discuss whatever pomp and circumstance will happen when the curtain goes up on the Huskers' new home for hoops, he asked the staging team when the video will play because "I want my team out there when it does," he said. "I love it and I think our players and fans will love it, too." Make no mistake. Miles sees basketball success as a three-legged stool. The first is recruiting players who will play together. The second is having coaches who will work on solutions to maximize talent. And the third is filling up one of the nation's best basketball arenas with a full house of inspired fans. Miles wants those fans to be so dialed-up they can't help but make our new house highly uncomfortable for high-quality teams that don't circle Lincoln in red on their schedule cards.
New Video Will Knock Your Socks Off
The video has great potential to help Big Red fans "feel it" without ever asking you the question, and in my mind, a new building with a new major tenant can light a torch that helps the Huskers elevate to meet the unparalleled power level of the Big Ten Conference. Yours truly got a sneak peek of the new video, and I'm going out on a limb and predicting that it'll knock the socks off Husker fans of all ages. It's an amped up classic song tailored to help Husker fans do what Miles wants them to do – stand up and cheer loud and cheer proud and do it day-after-day, so on the day of a game or the night of a game, this arena will rock like nowhere else.
"Since this is the first time in 38 years that we've moved, let's make this a rocking arena," Miles said. "We're like a football team that needs 12th-man except we need a 6th-Man. We're treating opening night as our first night of 6th-Man 101 Training, and we've invited everyone to the party. This is truly all about the fan experience – a way for them to get a feel for our new venue. Now, it's not going to be a 100-percent game experience, but everyone will get a good idea of the sounds, the sight lines and the players they'll be cheering on because we're going to introduce ourselves to everyone who comes into our new house.
It's Our Time and Time to Make the Most of It
"It's our time in history, and we want to make the most of it," said Miles, who volunteered to emcee the evening. Since his team already will have practiced Friday afternoon, he'll have a microphone in his hand throughout the 7-8 p.m. public scrimmage. "We want to make it a competitive environment. It won't be like an all-star game, and it won't be like a regular game. It'll be somewhere in between, and I'm just going to talk about our guys and comment on what they've done for us … how our veterans are going to take us to the next step and the bigger roles they might play and the leadership we might have on our team. I just want to give our fans an inside look at our team. It's going to be a fun night. Afterwards, we'll sign autographs and have some more interaction with our fans."
And that's not all, folks. For those who engage in this uniquely personal fan experience, Nebraska Athletics has its own special thank you for fans. "I think they'll appreciate what we have for them," said Marc Boehm, Nebraska's Executive Associate Athletic Director who's in charge of men's and women's basketball. "They'll get excited when they get a glimpse of the video, and I think what we're doing is innovative and will show our fans how much we appreciate them helping us make history six months before the season starts."
The Newbies: Webster, Hawkins, Fuller and Smith
Miles wants fans to be part of an atmosphere that thrives on passion and positive vibes. "I know it's a little scary to imagine me with a mike for a whole hour, so I apologize to our fans in advance about whatever might happen," he said. "I've never worked Vegas, but I want to work the arena once because I think it's important that our fans know our guys and why we want to have fun. We've been talking about this day for the longest time, and I just can't wait to introduce them. To me, that's truly the most exciting part of all of this – getting the chance to interact with our guys and to coach our guys, so we can make them a better team and show everyone that the sum of our group will be better than any of the individual parts. That's the coolest part of coaching and why I'm so excited about getting this all kicked off. Our new guys – Tai Webster , Nate Hawkins, Nick Fuller and Leslee Smith – are all going to add something to what we're trying to do, and they will all play a vital part of our success. Tai is a really, really good basketball player. Nate has great skills. Nick can really shoot the ball, and everyone will see Leslee's explosiveness in the scrimmage. Our players are as tired of thinking and talking about basketball as our coaches are. We're all ready to go."
There are a lot of reasons why Miles will be roaming Friday night with a microphone in his hand, and one of them is to remind fans how they're woven into Nebraska's blueprint for success. Over the summer, Bo Ryan, Wisconsin's head basketball coach, approached Miles and told him he'd heard the Wisconsin game in Lincoln was already sold out. Then he found out Nebraska's entire Big Ten season was sold out in Lincoln and was almost flabbergasted when he heard the punch line – the entire non-conference part of the Huskers' home season was also sold out. "Bo told me how important our fan support is and how unreal it can get," Miles said. "He knows what a special advantage fans can be at a home game because that's the way he built his own program up to be where it is today. "
101 Training Involves Players, Coaches and Fans
"It's important that our players recognize how important our fans are, too," Miles said. "Our fans can make an impact across the Big Ten, and I think our coaches' and players' interaction with our fans will be an important part of our overall development as a basketball team."
Nebraska men's basketball 6th-Man 101 Training begins tonight, and for a certain head coach and his staff and his players, it's time for their own version of Friday Night Lights. It's our time and our new house, and the Huskers can't wait to share it with all of our fans, whether you've been on the bus for a long time or just climbed on and whether you're young or old or somewhere in between. We're still going to ask everyone to stand up and cheer and cheer loud and cheer proud, and with the new sounds and the new sights and a new era, we may not even have to ask. You might, just might, feel the urge to stand up and "Rock It" by yourself.
