GS: Where are you from?
HG: Fultondale, AL.
GS: What degree will you receive and when?
HG: I completed my B.A. in History spring of 2007 and will complete my M.A. this December.
GS: How long have you been at UAB?
HG: 7 years.
GS: What is your research?
HG: American History with an emphasis on Southern History.
GS: What made you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
HG: Since I worked on my B.A. here, I already had really good relationships with my professors. I think the professors here a phenomenal, so I decided to continue working with them in the graduate program.
GS: Have you received any awards or honors?
HG: I am a member of Phi Alpha Theta and graduated Cum Laude in 2007. I will have a paper and book review published in this year's Vulcan Historical Review and I have had the honor to present my original research at the Alabama Association of Historians and the Alabama Academy of Sciences meetings. I was also awarded a scholarship to attend the Southeastern Museums Conference in 2008.
GS: What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
HG: Gaining relationships with the professors. They truly have a desire for each and every student to succeed. They are not only history teachers, but also life coaches.
GS: Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
HG: Dr. George Liber for helping me to realize I needed to take my education farther, Dr. Raymond Mohl and Dr. Harriet Amos Doss for helping me see the joy I would have to teach (because you can tell they love to teach so much), and Professors Pam King and Karen Utz for helping me see how much I could do with a degree in history.
GS: What is your motivation in your academics/research?
HG: I simply have the strongest desire to learn everything I can. My love for history combined with the desire to learn has been my motivation all along. Over time, I've also developed the desire to relay all the knowledge I can gain to others.
GS: What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
HG: I plan to enter a Ph.D program. I want to teach at the college level or either work in a museum setting.
GS: Is there anything else you would like to say?
HG: I would like to point out that graduate school is only as good as you make it. Although it can be a daunting task, people should enjoy their grad school experience. If the other graduate programs are like the history department, the possibilities are endless and you always have someone to extend a helping hand.
Heather's advice for other graduate students:
Don't get overwhelmed! Take one day at a time and develop good time management skills for sure. Always, always, always ask questions and get to know your professors.

ESPN.com's Andy Katz, in his daily 3-Point Shot feature, adds some perspective to what's happened for Kansas State coach Bruce Weber over the last year:
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber has quite the emotional year. Just think a year ago he was coaching Illinois toward the end of the season and knew that his job was likely over in Champaign. A year later, Kansas State is tied with Kansas in the loss column atop the Big 12 with a game against TCU at home Tuesday and at Oklahoma State Saturday. The Wildcats would lose a tiebreaker to Kansas if the two teams are tied at the end of the weekend since KU swept Kansas State. Still, regardless of what occurs in the seeding or race for first and second, it has been quite a turnaround for Weber. I can't remember a coach who has gone from one extreme to another in just one season. Weber's coaching was never in question. The Illini needed a new voice and he needed a fresh start. This couldn't have worked out any better for him. He has only coached in small college towns so moving to Manhattan was no problem. Weber wouldn't have done as well being idle for a year. He got an opportunity and made sure it was maximized.

LaMont Does outdoor pool, Lafayette's oldest recreation facility, is beginning to show its years. And next month the city might have to decide whether to throw it a life preserver or see how much longer it can tread water.
The facility already shows signs of deterioration. This year, the city was forced to close the pool's popular water slide because of structural instability. And until recent repairs, the slide pool was losing a foot of water a day.
The kiddie pool — which doesn't have the required Americans with Disabilities Act zero-depth entry point — could be next, as the deadline for compliance hits next year.
"What really precipitated this was that in 2012 a new ADA law came through with requirements that both fitness and aquatics (centers) have to be compliant," Lafayette Recreation Director Curt Cheesman said, adding that both LaMont Does pool and the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center were built prior to 1990 and were grandfathered in. "We did an internal audit and found out that we are not compliant in many ways. We had three years to work on that, which gives us until 2015."
Work has begun on the recreation center, but as things stand, the lap pool will be the only aquatics feature at LaMont Does in compliance when the 2015 deadline hits.
"Mechanically, the lap pool is OK. We've put a lot of Band-Aids on it. We've made some other cosmetic fixes, but all the heavy lifting still needs to be done," Cheesman said. "We looked at everything that we do in the recreation department and LaMont Does is probably the most tired amenity that we have. It has been well loved — to death."
The city has identified at least 50 significant deficiencies at LaMont Does, from ramps that are too steep to cracked concrete, a leaking roof and walls in the bathhouse, improper chemical storage and ventilation, a failing pool operating system and insufficient parking.
A solution isn't going to come easy — or cheap.
Cheesman recently presented the Lafayette City Council with a plan for wide scale renovations. The plan includes two new 30-foot-tall water slides and a new slide pool; a large ADA-compliant kiddie pool featuring an interactive fixture with sprayers and fountains; and a new entrance to the southwest accessed from a new 154-space parking lot.
It also includes a $4 million price tag for the first phase of the project.
City officials emphasize the renovation proposal is extremely preliminary and still flexible.
"We just put this together so that we'd have a starting point for this discussion," city spokeswoman Debbie Wilmot said. "This is sort of our wish list."
In the long run, the proposed upgrades might not seem so grandiose if LaMont Does attracts enough seasonal visitors to recoup its operating costs.
Last year, the pool operated at a $35,000 deficit. As recently as 2011, LaMont Does was subsidized to the tune of $100,000.
Councilwoman Alexandra Lynch sees the cost to keep the outdoor pool going as money well spent.
"I don't view the $35,000 to $100,000 a year above and beyond revenues that the city has put into LaMont Does as a loss; it's an investment in a community resource," Lynch said. "What we're asking for (with the proposed renovations) is a much bigger investment, but then the facility hopefully pays for itself."
The renovations could be done in stages, but Councilman Brad Wiesley warns that doing the work incrementally could result in significantly higher costs.
"If you keep taking really small bites at the apple, they all get really expensive," Wiesley said. "You can take this $4 million and turn it into $6 million worth of the same project really quickly."
City Administrator Gary Klaphake said the city likely has $1.3 million in funds to contribute to the renovations, but the remainder would have to be found elsewhere — whether through a Great Outdoors Colorado grant or taxpayer funding.
"In July, we're going to have decide to ask the voters, or not. And both of them have consequences," Klaphake said.

Our office is mostly populated with women, therefore we are prone to some subject matter during our "hen parties" that you might not find in more diverse offices.
The other day, we were discussing our mothers, and the funny things they say and do, and I recounted the story of how I once (only once) told my mother that I could tell her eyesight wasn't what it once was because I could see dust in her house. She quickly told me to get up off my "duff" and grab a dust rag and have at it.

This is the PG+ rated Adult thread (its probably closer to PG-13, but even we have our limits). For G-rated conversations see the Heavenly Hash Adult Thread.
Thread guidlines carried over from previous threads...
Welcome to the Gutter, please follow these rules to prevent us all from drowning in this thread or any other.
It is important to remember that the main forums are not a chat room or an IM feature. Posts need to be of some length and relate to the topic. One line posts, especially just saying LOL or something similar take up a lot of room and are hard for people to wade through when they have many pages to catch up on.
Related to that, it's not necessary to post just to say good morning, goodnight or to "keep the thread alive." You can certainly say good morning at the top of your first post of the day, but don't make it the ONLY thing you say. As for keeping the thread alive, it's not going anywhere. It will still be here long after all of us have moved on to newer things.
Quoting. The quote feature is neat. And helpful but when quoting, delete out the parts of the quote that aren't necessary to your response. Quoting, especially when pictures are included take up TONS of room on the lex and make it hard for all of us. It's quick and easy to cut out the parts that are unnecessary. Quoting is also one of the easiest places to fall into IM behavior. It is so frustrating to have to scroll through tons of quotes just to get an "I agree." questions that don't benefit the whole group, or are directed at one person need to go into the PM feature. If we constantly repost thins like links or topics from the past, we burn
through unnecessary pages.
Straying off topic. This one is probably the hardest, since we are an off topic thread. So I can't ask for much here, perhaps just a little mindfulness when it comes to posting. Consider if it is something for the whole group, or something that belongs in a PM.
Those of us who started out on this thread LOVE it. It has been our home here. We love new people, and
new ideas. We do want everyone to play nice and have fun. We would hate for something to happen to this thread.
This thread (well version 2 of this thread) started as a "safe" place that adults could come and discuss the books, theories, and a few other topics. Many of us felt we had little in common with the teens that posted on the majority of the threads. Also many of us were very put off by all the hate post eclipse or by getting flamed for our more adult opinion based on our broader experience. Usually someone would post a question and we would all weigh in. It was great!
It was a thread where Jake girls and Edward girl had fun side by side, delighting in these wonderful men Stephenie has created.Several of us have even been converted to a greater understanding of the Volturi. Sometimes we joke about our desire to polish the granite boys or groom the dogs (Pel started that actually.) But we used to keep it strictly to innuendo no deeper than that.
We often discuss other books that we are reading as well. Some of us have a list of over 200 books to check out as a result of this thread! I think we even have discussed movie and TV recommendations as well.
This has been a wonderful safe haven to many of us since Eclipse and we have formed some wonderful friendships.

A good snowpack is far from a guarantee in California and not to be taken for granted. The high elevations have already accumulated a nice base this fall and the forecast for the second half of December has the potential to provide a series of cool and wet systems through the new year. This forecast would give any snow-sports fan a wide grin, and if it materializes, it would provide a phenomenally great start to the season.
With all the excitement, I've been thinking about some snowshoe adventure ideas that would be awesome to check out this winter, some of which are located below from north to south:
- Mount Lassen, Lassen Volcanic National Park: A 20 mile roundtrip to climb this peak that seems much more aesthetic in the winter when snow covered (as opposed to a pile of volcanic pumice).
- Castle Peak & Peter Grubb Hut: Easy access off Interstate 80 with nice views of the peaks of north Lake Tahoe.
- Mount Rose, Mt. Rose Wilderness: Gorgeous views of the second highest point in Tahoe.
- Pyramid Peak, Desolation Wilderness: The highest point in the Desolation Wilderness and the views looking over a snowy Lake Aloha would be amazing to see.
- Mount Tallac, Desolation Wilderness: One of the best views of Lake Tahoe, with a great climb.
- Freel Peak & Trimmer Peak: The highest point in Tahoe with a fantastic view of the lake.
- Round Top, Mokelumne Wilderness: A classic snowshoe route from Carson Pass with great views of the surroudning wilderness.
- Horse Ridge & Ostrander Hut, Yosemite National Park: I have never been to this corner of Yosemite National Park and it looks beautiful, especially in winter conditions.
- Winter Alta, Pear Lake Hut & the Tablelands, Sequoia National Park: A visit in 2011 to the summit of Winter Alta was amazing. This time I hope to explore further along the Tablelands with a summit of Big Bird Peak and close views of the Great Western Divide.
- Mount Williamson, John Muir Wilderness: Lots of vertical to reach the summit of the second highest mountain in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the state of California. Williamson also has one of the best views of the Kaweah Range and the Great Western Divide.
- Mount Whitney, John Muir Wilderness: It would be great to ascend the highest point in the contiguous United States in winter conditions.
Hopefully I will get to a few of these this winter!

Comic book character Archie Andrews will die taking a bullet for his gay friend.
I have a feeling there are some places in America where this edition might not be a huge seller.
The pop culture icon gets killed in Wednesday's installment of "Life with Archie" when he jumps in front of an assassination attempt on Kevin Keller, Archie Comics' first openly gay character, according to Fox News. Archie's death -- first announced in April -- will conclude the series focusing on adult versions of Archie and his pals.
Where's the fun in that?
"The way in which Archie dies is everything that you would expect of Archie," said Jon Goldwater, the CEO and publisher of Archie Comics. "He dies heroically. He dies selflessly. He dies in the manner that epitomizes not only the best of Riverdale but the best of all of us. It's what Archie has come to represent over the past almost 75 years."
Keller first appeared with Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in the Archie Comics spinoff "Veronica" in 2010. He later got his own solo title. In "Life with Archie," Keller is a military veteran who is married and a newly elected senator who's working for gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.
Obviously, a bunch of tree-huggers are behind these comics.
"We wanted to do something that was impactful that would really resonate with the world and bring home just how important Archie is to everyone," said Goldwater, according to MTV. "That's how we came up with the storyline of saving Kevin. He could have saved Betty. He could have saved Veronica. We get that, but metaphorically, by saving Kevin, a new Riverdale is born."
There's no word on the identity of Archie's killer. MTV reports that the final issue of "Life With Archie" will take place a year after the killing to see how Archie's friends are dealing with his death.

28 May 2013
The Soyuz rocket has been rolled out to the launch pad in the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. On 28 May 2013 at 22:31 CEST, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikin will begin their flight to the International Space Station.
Six months in space: the European astronaut Luca Parmitano (right), together with US astronaut Karen Nyberg (left) and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikin will live and work on the International Space Station.
Located at Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, the German Space Operations Centre (GSOC) is part of DLR's Space operations and Astronaut Training division, the key institution for implementing space missions in Germany. Its tasks include satellite missions for Earth observation, communication, and reconnaissance as well as human spaceflight and exploration missions in the Solar System.
His muscles are of interest to the scientists, as is his internal clock and the radiation dose to which he will be exposed during his work in the European Columbus research laboratory. On 28 May 2013 at 22:31 CEST, the European Astronaut Luca Parmitano will depart from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on board the Soyuz TMA-09M spacecraft, beginning his journey to the International Space Station (ISS), as part of the Expedition 36/37 crew. Parmitano is flying both as the subject of some investigations and as the custodian of space experiments that will provide scientists with important data. Fourteen experiments are being overseen by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and the DLR Space Administration. Contact with the ground during the course of his stay will take place mainly through the Columbus Control Center at DLR Oberpfaffenhofen.
Declining muscle strength in space and on the ground
The flight that will bring Parmitano, together with NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikin, to their new home in space will only last six hours. After four Earth orbits, the Soyuz spacecraft will dock with the ISS. For Parmitano, six months of work in microgravity will begin. The astronaut has already completed the first experiments on Earth: a tissue sample has been taken from one of his muscles. "With the Sarcolab experiment, we want to find out why muscle strength declines so much in microgravity," explains project leader Jörn Rittweger from the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine. In space, muscles lose not only volume, but also a disproportionate amount of strength – despite regular training. "There is either a weakening of each individual muscle fibre or a change in the structure of the entire muscle – these are possible explanations for muscle atrophy both in space and on Earth." With extensive comparative measurements before and after the astronaut's six-month stay in space, the team wants to find out why the strength of muscles declines so rapidly.
How microgravity affects the structure and anatomy of the knee joint is the subject of another German experiment in which Parmitano is a test subject, before and after his flight. The 'Cartilage' experiment, funded and supervised by the DLR Space Administration, wants to obtain new research findings on bone metabolism. While on Earth, gravity exerts an appropriate, low stress on the human motor system; unusual conditions, such as those of space or during a lengthy hospital stay, can damage connective tissue.
The human internal clock is the subject of the German experiment 'Circadian Rhythm'. During and after Parmitano's ISS stay, the heat sensor THERMOLAB will investigate the periodic change in his core body temperature. This has an influence on various systems in the body, for example, sleep, as well as affecting attentiveness and mental performance.
Research laboratory with ovens and radiation measuring instruments
For materials physicists, Parmitano will operate a number of furnaces on the Space Station. In several experiments, different aluminium alloys will be melted in microgravity and then solidified. Back on Earth, the hardened samples will be examined by the DLR Institute of Material Physics in Space. For the experiment MICAST, for example, Lawrence Ratke, from DLR, and an international team will be analysing aluminium alloys containing a small amount of iron. "Iron, in particular, ensures that aluminium is less susceptible to fracture, because it forms very thin plates within the solidified material." By understanding these processes better, industrial casting processes, for example those employed in the automotive industry, could be optimised.
While Parmitano is working with the various experiments in the European research module, 13 detector systems will be measuring the radiation exposure in his surroundings. For the past year, the 'DOSE 3D' experiment, which is being conducted by DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine, has been determining how high the radiation exposure is in the flying laboratory. The aim is to produce a three-dimensional map of the radiation in the ISS with the data acquired. The results will be especially important for future long-duration manned space missions, where adequate shielding will be necessary.
Conference call from the control centre to space
The contact persons for Luca Parmitano in his work in and around the Columbus research module will be at DLR Oberpfaffenhofen – around the clock, seven days a week. Every morning and evening, the team will talk to the German Space Operations Center, and then with the crew on the Space Station. "We will discuss the tasks for the day, changes which mean that Luca must adjust his work schedule and, in the evening, perhaps any remaining open questions that we have for the astronauts – we will be in regular contact," says Thomas Uhlig, one of the flight directors at the Columbus Control Center. When the European astronaut floats to work every day in the research laboratory, the team on the ground and the man in space will be working together as a team. As Flight Engineer, Parmitano is responsible for the experiments and for other maintenance and repair work in the laboratory. "He will receive instructions from our control room."
After 166 days, on 10 November 2013, the European astronaut will return to Earth. "I am sure I will return with a memory of something that changed me for life," says Luca Parmitano. The scientists will have gained something else: a great deal of data that will be evaluated in the following months.

When the Southwest Conference dissolved in 2007 McDonald County had nowhere to turn. Having applied to join other conferences since that time, only to be turned away on multiple occasions, the frustration of being an independent has bugged the school ever since.
When the Southwest Conference dissolved in 2007 McDonald County had nowhere to turn. Having applied to join other conferences since that time, only to be turned away on multiple occasions, the frustration of being an independent has bugged the school ever since.
Well, not anymore.
After applying to gain entrance to the Big 8 Conference again, one of a handful of tries the school has made to gain entrance since '07, it was confirmed to the Daily News on Tuesday night that by a unanimous 8-0 vote earlier in the day, McDonald County now has a home. They've been accepted into the Big 8.
"We are excited for our kids both academically and athletically," McDonald County athletics director John Whitehead said. "This is a chance for them to receive some recognition for their hard work, rightfully deserved."
The transition won't take place overnight, however. The school will see limited involvement in the Big 8 during the 2013-14 school year. Organizations like speech and debate, academic bowl and so forth is expected to have some participation during the '13-14 school year, with athletics not expected to join the fray until June '14-15.
"It will make less travel for our kids which will help, especially during the winter months," Whitehead said. "The scheduling, this will make it easier after we're actually in. The first year will be a little difficult, but we're playing a pretty full nonconference schedule now, so hopefully that won't make it too much of an adjustment."
While other schools such as Nevada have attempted to enter the conference with McDonald County in the past, this vote was based solely on the application of the latter this time. There will be nine schools in the conference once the move becomes official, so questions about the Big 8 name immediately arise, naturally. However, those involved said it is their understanding that the conference will keep the "Big 8 Conference" moniker intact.
Make no doubt, this is big news for McDonald County. Whitehead credited McDonald County superintendent Mark Stanton and principal Kim Harrell with spearheading the effort to shed the independent tag.
"Credit goes to Kim Harrell and Mark Stanton who have both been working on this for a while to make it happen," Whitehead said. "Those two men receive the most credit for this happening, because they've worked real hard trying to get us in the conference. They've put in a lot of time and effort to see this through."
McDonald County girls basketball coach LaDonna McClain couldn't have been much happier when she learned of the news shortly before her team took the court against Saint Mary's-Colgan on Tuesday.
"Someone came up to me before the game and said something about it," McClain said. "I'm excited. That's huge for us. We've been trying to get in since I've been here. Just from a scheduling standpoint it's huge. We're playing teams in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and we're kind of trapped down in the corner. It's huge. I'm very excited about it."

MILLEDGEVILLE — The best way to describe Morgan Adolph's performance on Thursday would be to call it wildly effective.
The righty ace didn't display great control, but she did make plenty of big pitches in key spots, and the Missile offense was able to back her with enough support in a 6-2 win over NUIC-East softball rival Dakota. Kayleigh Leddy's two-run homer capped a three-run fifth inning that put the game out of the Indians' reach and gave the Missiles a one-game lead in the conference race. But the two East front-runners will meet again in two weeks.
"We've got to make every game as important as this one," Milledgeville senior catcher Courtney Swalve said. "It just gives a little boost to have a leg up in the conference."
While Adolph walked six and hit another, she struck out 10 and didn't allow her first hit until the sixth inning. Most importantly for Milledgeville (6-5, 4-0), she worked her way out of some key jams. Half of her strikeouts came with runners in scoring position for Dakota (6-1, 5-1).
"The day when 'Mo' realizes she can dominate by throwing strikes will be the day that she can win tons of games," Milledgeville coach Brad Grenoble said. "She's got the stuff to dominate. She can strike girls out. This is her first year being an ace and she doesn't have the ace mentality yet to go get them. Once she believes in herself she'll be dominant."
The usually potent Indians lineup was unable to get anything going with the bats for the first five innings, but Adolph's wildness and a couple of errors still gave Dakota ample opportunity to score while still within striking distance. The Indians put runners on first and second with one out in the first inning and loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, but only managed to get one run, which came on a bases-loaded walk to Kassidy Korte.
"We just kept looking for that next walk instead of going up there to try and drive runs in," Dakota coach Jeff Kinney said. "We had plenty of opportunities. We just didn't take advantage."
The Indians left six runners in scoring position against Adolph and the Missiles. Meanwhile, Dakota starter Olivia Zimmerman didn't have near as much luck with stranding baserunners. She showed better control than Adolph by not walking a single batter, but the Missiles managed to tag her with some key run-scoring hits, including Swalve's two-run double in the third and Leddy's two-run homer in the fifth. The Dakota defense didn't Zimmerman too many favors either. The Indians committed three errors, two of which helped contribute to Milledgeville runs.
"We give an extra base here or there and then all of the sudden it's an RBI groundout, which could've been a girl stuck at third base and she never comes around," Kinney said. "Close games come down to defense and timely hitting and we just didn't do either of those things today."
Dakota and Milledgeville will square off again in Dakota on April 30 in a make-up game that could have conference title implications if both teams take care of their business before then.
"I just told the girls, 'don't get arrogant, don't get cocky, keep playing hard, but we're sitting in the driver's seat," Grenoble said. "Right now we've just got to do our job and the conference is ours when people thought it was a down year for Milledgeville and I think we're going to be right there again."

Huge "RaceDay" For SPEED From Daytona
There are only a handful of high-profile races during the summer months. Daytona on this holiday weekend is at the top of that heap. SPEED's RaceDay is the big program for that network and it begins at 4:30PM ET.
Darrell Waltrip returns for another weekend as he is replacing Kyle Petty during this stretch of races on TNT. Waltrip is joined by Kenny Wallace and host John Roberts. Wendy Venturini and Hermie Sadler are the reporters.
TNT has continued to present a very crisp and clean Countdown to Green pre-race show since that network took over the Sprint Cup Series coverage. RaceDay has really had to look in the mirror and step-up their game. In some ways, the program has succeeded. In other areas, there are still problems.
The table has been set for this Saturday with plenty of stories to report and topics to discuss. From bigger restrictor plates to the resurgence of Jimmie Johnson, RaceDay has a target-rich environment.
Anytime Darrell Waltrip is on TV, he wants to be the center of attention. We saw that on the ill-fated FOX coverage this season. On RaceDay, John Roberts works very hard to keep Waltrip on topic and his comments brief. This is a very different environment from the Hollywood Hotel and Chris Myers. RaceDay belongs to Roberts, not Waltrip. Watch for these two to quietly battle over control.
While Kyle Petty allows Wallace to have his moment in the spotlight, Waltrip does not. Wallace continues to be a child where Waltrip is concerned and the previous RaceDay programs resulted in nothing more for Wallace than repeatedly agreeing with Waltrip's points of view. This dynamic has not worked from the start.
There is a lot of added pressure at Daytona today. RaceDay is a huge franchise for SPEED. There will be a lot of folks watching and talking about what is said and reported over the two hours of the program.
This post is your opportunity to offer comments on NASCAR RaceDay before, during and after this program from Daytona. To add your TV-related comments, just click on the comments button below. This is a family-friendl website, please keep that in mind when posting. Thanks for taking the time to stop by The Daly Planet.

Hermie is definitely coming into his own on RaceDay. Him and Wendy are by far the backbone of NASCAR pre-race reporting!!
Good interview with Jr.
Man, DW can't get his head any further of Jr's hind end can he?

I have given up on trying to watch RaceDay. I DVR it and fast forward thru everything but Wendy & Hermie's interviews. I can't watch any cup related show on SPEED live anymore because I'm so sick to death of DW & Spencer. Is there any end in sight for those two?

JD if the rain tanks the race tonight what happens with Wide open coverage, ie limited commercials if they race tomorrow?

I was pleased when John Roberts stopped coloring his hair. He looks very nice....better that the other two.
I would think that when you appear on TV you don't want the subject that the viewers dwell on to be your dyed hair. :)

NASCAR will stay until they race.
I think one year I attended they cranked it up around midnight.

Just wanted to see what TNT is going to do. They previewed it for VIP's last night at DIS and folks said it was amazing.
Wendy just passed along that due to the sports car races at Daytona, the new DIS pit road is going to be concrete.
That is going to be big come February.

Thanks JD. guess that's my cue to get a couple thinks squared away before the TNT prerace. Lots of hype for Countdown to Green tonight, hope it lives up to the billing! be back in a while for that.

Interesting, I'd just like to get HD at this point LOL.

TNT. Thanks for the 4 hour infomerical. What an annoying telecast. 2 minutes of race 3 minutes of sidebyside commercials the entire night. The most frustating thing I have ever watched in years. What was suppose to be an enjoyable night watching a race turned into a stress and anger. I turned in off after I could not stand it anymore.

Amazing that NASCAR went to mostly standardized race times for the fans this year, while EESPN has gone to the hide-and-seek schedule for NASCAR Now. Thank goodness Race Hub has been expanded.

Electronic Arts has been trying hard to wrangle the title of "best-selling FPS" away from Activision. Games like Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 introduced new engines that leaps well ahead of what Call of Duty has to offer visually. However, Black Ops 2 developer Treyarch doesn't believe the annualized franchise needs a "new engine." Mark Lamia, studio head at Treyarch, argues that "engines" are simply a "buzzword," and talks up the "significant" work that went into creating Black Ops 2's visuals.
Lamia describes an engine as the foundation of a house. "I liken it to people who live in an older house that has been remodeled. Just because you're remodeling the house and it will look new or it will have a new kitchen, you don't tear out the foundation," he told One of Swords. "There's a lot of good still in that foundation that you wouldn't get rid of, and we don't."
Treyarch's games have been using modified versions of the same engine used in 2007's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. While gamers have accused the franchise for resting on its laurels instead of pushing technology, Lamia argues that the fixation on new "engines" is simply marketing. "I think the whole thing about a new engine... sometimes that's a great buzzword," he said. Because so much of the engine has been altered, he questions the validity of labeling something a new engine. "Where does it start and stop? Elements of the code, you can trace back for a very very long time... but whole parts of the code are entirely new." He points to lighting as a feature that received a "significant amount of work."
Once again, Lamia reiterates that Call of Duty must run at 60 frames per second, and won't sacrifice that for new graphical features. "We're not willing to do that if we can't keep it running at 60 frames per second."

Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Rick Salomon, according to TMZ.
Pamela Anderson ... you know, "Baywatch" ... red bathing suit ... back in the '90s? She was married to Tommy Lee ...?
Tommy Lee, you know, drummer ... Motley Crue ...?
Motley Crue ... you know, rock band ... big in the '80s?
Anyway, this will be the second time Anderson has divorced Salomon, whom she married in 2007 and stayed with for two whole months before getting the marriage annulled. She was also wed Tommy Lee -- at least once -- and Kid Rock.
Kid Rock, you know ... big in 1999 ... that Bawiddiba or whatever it was called song ...
Anderson announced in January that she married Salomon again. Salomon -- famous for starring in the Paris Hilton sex tape -- is reportedly a world-class poker player. He happened to win $2.8 million last Tuesday in the World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop last. That was two days before Anderson filed for divorce, which means she gets half, unless there's a prenup preventing it.

Junior-senior high principal sought
Superintendent Jerry Klooster provided the Stark County School District with an update on a search for a new junior-senior high school principal at its January meeting.
An administrative team is scheduled to interview five candidates today (Jan. 30) for the position which opens July 1.
"Among the five candidates are a teacher, two principals, an assistant principal and a dean of students," said Klooster.
"If the committee is satisfied that we have an ample number of solid candidates, we will move on to a second phase of interviews with parent, teacher and administrator teams," Klooster said.
Longtime junior-senior high school principal Mike Domico announced his plans to retire this year almost two years ago.
In other business, school board member Ron Turnbull reported that the district's building committee met with Dan Gavin of the Farnsworth Group to discuss the status of a window replacement project being studied for the junior high school building in Toulon.
The project is estimated to cost between $300,000 and $400,000.
The board approved seeking bids for the window project which would be done this summer. A bid could be awarded at next month's meeting.
The Reduction in Force (RIF) Committee met recently and reached an agreement on protocols for reduction of certified staff. "These protocols follow the new law and only outline how a reduction might take place if needed," said Klooster. "No reduction recommendations have been made as of this date and no changes were made from last year's agreement."
The board also renewed the annual contract with the auditing firm Gorenz & Associates, to prepare the school district's 2012-13 audit for a cost not to exceed $8,940. The cost reflected a 3-percent increase over last year.
A contract with G & E Lawn Service was approved for mowing the football field and a lot located on Grain Bin Road.
The work was bid at $20 per hour with a limit not to exceed 200 hours. Also approved was a contract with Shirley Striping, of Wyoming, to mark the football field at a cost of $12 per hour not to exceed 100 hours.
Domico reported that the eighth grade students from the Bradford School District had recently attended an informational meeting and open house at Stark County High School. The 22 students in this year's Bradford eighth grade class are facing a March 1 deadline to commit to one of the three accepting school districts, Bureau Valley, Henry-Senachwine or Stark County under current high school deactivation agreements.
After an executive session, the school board approved the employment effective immediately of Audrey Alltop as music director at Stark County High School.

Authorities arrested a man and a woman believed to have robbed a bank in Clarence, Mo.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol announced it took a second suspect into custody shortly after making the initial arrest.
Police arrested Savanna J. Barger, 26, of Atlanta, Mo., for her involvement in the robbery. She was arrested for felony conspiracy to commit armed robbery and an outstanding Macon County warrant for failing to appear on traffic charges.
An Iowa man is in custody Thursday after a bank robbery in Clarence, Mo.
According to a press release from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Cody A. Barber, 26, of Moulton, Iowa, has been arrested for first-degree robbery and is being held in the Shelby County Jail pending formal charges.
The Patrol and Shelby County Sheriff's Department responded to the Community State Bank around 1:45 p.m. after a reported bank robbery.
After an initial description was made available, a citizen observed a man matching that description and followed the suspect's vehicle while contacting law enforcement.
Authorities then located an abandoned vehicle northeast of Clarence, set up a search perimeter and at 2:50 p.m. a Patrol canine unit located the suspect and Barber was taken into custody.
The investigation is ongoing and law enforcement officers are investigating the possibility of an accomplice.
Captain James Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, and Shelby County Sheriff Dennis Perrigo expressed their appreciation to local citizens and bank officials who were able to provide information that ultimately led to the capture of the suspect.
Agencies involved in the investigation include the Shelby County Sheriff's Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Monroe County Sheriff's Department, Macon County Sheriff's Department, Macon Police Department, and the Missouri Department of Conservation.

J.C. Penney's CEO Using Loan to Price Hikes in TurnaroundMatt Townsend
J.C. Penney Co. Chief Executive Officer Myron Ullman received a $1.75 billion loan commitment from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and has been raising some prices as he works to stanch the retailer's cash drain.
The five-year term loan will be secured by real estate and an interest in other assets of the retailer, Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney said today in a statement. The proceeds will be used for working capital and to discharge the company's 7.125 percent notes due in 2023.
Ullman has focused on shoring up the company's finances since replacing Ron Johnson three weeks ago and started by drawing $850 million from its credit line on April 15. He's also reversing Johnson's avoidance of promotions and is raising some prices more than 50 percent while dropping some back down later to give the appearance of a discount, according to a study today from JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The loan takes "liquidity concerns off the table for at least two or three years," Alex Fuhrman, an analyst for Piper Jaffray Cos. in New York, wrote in a note today. While the prospects of a default before the company's next debt payment in 2015 are now remote, the loan won't mitigate the cash consumption Piper Jaffray expects to reach $1 billion in the first quarter, Fuhrman said.
Shares Rise
J.C. Penney rose 1.1 percent to $17.19 at the close in New York. The shares had dropped 14 percent this year through April 26, compared with an 11 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
The retailer's $285 million of 7.95 percent notes due April 2017 rose 1.8 cents on the dollar to 98.5 cents at 9:03 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The bonds yield 8.4 percent.
One major aspect of Johnson's overhaul was switching to everyday low prices, which would save money by cutting the workers and infrastructure related to weekly promotions while making pricing less confusing for shoppers. That didn't work, and the company started bringing back coupons in February, a practice that has accelerated under Ullman, Matthew Boss, an analyst for JPMorgan, said in a note today.
J.C. Penney last week increased prices on brands such as Liz Claiborne, Boss said, citing a study JPMorgan conducted. In one example, a pair of Dockers pants were marked up to $58 from $35, a 66 percent increase. The pants were then discounted back to $35. Prices on some items were raised and weren't later reduced, such as a private-label dress that was increased to $35 from $30.
Negative Reactions
While consumers liked the return to coupons, the recent price increases have received negative reactions on social media such as J.C. Penney's Facebook page, Boss said. That could make the transition more difficult, said Boss, who has a neutral rating on J.C. Penney's shares, the equivalent of a hold.
The company hasn't started a new pricing strategy under Ullman, said Daphne Avila, a spokeswoman for J.C. Penney. The retailer is raising prices mostly on private-label merchandise that started last month under Johnson. Some merchandise, like Joe Fresh apparel, will maintain everyday low prices while other items will have price tags increased, so they can be discounted for sales events to drive foot traffic into the stores, she said.
"What we learned is that customers prefer to see the discount at the cash register rather than being built into the price," Avila said.
Discounting Boost
A return to more discounting would help boost sales, according to a survey released today by Langer Research Associates. If the company became more promotional and returned products Johnson removed, 54 percent of former J.C. Penney customers said they would probably come back. Plus, 62 percent of the current shoppers would buy more, the study showed.
Johnson, the former Apple Inc. retail chief, also had planned to transform most of J.C. Penney's stores into collections of branded boutiques. Amid the costly renovations and plunging sales, the department-store chain's operations consumed $10 million in cash in the year ended Feb. 2, the first year they've done so since at least 1987, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The retailer's operations generated $820 million in cash the previous year.
Home Renovations
The company still is in the midst of remodeling home departments in about 500 stores that account for about 15 percent of its selling square footage. The opening of some of these sections has been postponed because of construction delays, and a media event to unveil them was pushed back three weeks to June 6. At the same time, four senior executives who led the renovations left the company last week.
The company in February increased the size of its revolver to $1.85 billion from $1.5 billion and got permission to expand it to as much as $2.25 billion. J.C. Penney hasn't disclosed the terms of the loan, including the interest rate.
The loan "is a real vote of confidence for Ullman," said Paul Swinand, an analyst for Morningstar Inc. in Chicago. Now he needs to focus on getting the older customers who left during Johnson's tenure to come back into the store, he said.

Hi Everybody !What do Orthodox priests do all day? I'm referring to the parish priests, not monks. Do most of them have outside (secular) jobs? Or, are they busy ministering to the sick, the invalids, etc.? Etc. Besides Sunday liturgy, what do Orthodox priests (especially in the U.S.) actually *do* ? Thank you for any responses.

Being a priest is a great Job. If You're a Greek Priest, you only have to work about 2 hours one day a week. Russian Priests have it a bit harder, they have to work about 45 minutes on saturday night, a as long as 3-4 hours on sunday morning, but most of them tend to survive. LOL
I corrected your typos.

LOLSeriously though, it really depends on the Parish. In a large Parish the Priest tends to be an administrator, ensuring that the Parish runs as smoothly as possible, though he still has the responsibility of the Sacraments (though in the largest parishes, often that is all he has time to do; some will find a small amount of time for counseling). In smaller parishes where the administrative expectations are less demanding they may be able to spend more time counseling and tending to the various spiritual needs of their flock.
45 minutes??? for vigil??? The shortest ROCOR vigil I've ever been to is 1.5 hours...
I was refering to Vespers, the fact that the Russians do this strange vigil and sing about getting up for the sunrise (in the Orthros Service) just after the sun set slipped my mind.
Ania,I think GiC just means Great Vespers lasting 45 mins - which is a bit on the speedy side for us. Usually closer to an hour. I'm more surprised that you experienced a Vigil in a ROCOR parish of only 1.5 hrs! At Holy Trinity in SF, their Sat Night Ressurection Vigil is 2 hrs flat. They don't skip anything either. I refer to it as "speed Vigil" (like speed dating). They just chant and sing so fast you can't even understand it sometimes even if English is your first language!
Right, the Russians keep the practice of the Sabbaitic typikon which the Greeks modified in 1888. So in other words, the Russian practice (which is also followed on Athos, in various cathedrals in Greece, and even in some parish churches on special occasions) is the older one and the Greek one a concession to weakness. I prefer Greek practice in most regards but not here. Vigils are wonderful.Anastasios
I am aware that certain Jurisdictions expect their priests to hold secular jobs, which is quite unfortunate. The GOA, in general, does not (nor do the Antiochians, in general, though they dont support their priests quite as well as the Greeks)...most Bishops in the GOA tend to take good care of their Priests and will not send them to parishes unable to support them.
The Vigil is fine, provided it is timed such that Morning Prayers are said, well in the Morning. As I would assume that it was not the Original intent of the Typikon of St. Sabbas that prayers written for the morning be said before even the middle of the night; and accordingly the common Greek practice at least places the prayers at times closer to when they're supposed to be (though not necessarially exactly right).
I wouldn't say "expect", but "accept" (that they may need) to have secular jobs. The irony here, is that the jurisidictions that pay their priests less generally have a lot more services. While you may say that the GOA Bishops "protect" their priests well, keep in mind that we are obligated under the Gospel to minister to the flock. Refusing to send a priest because a parish or area can't pay them X$ per year is a not good enough of an excuse. I'm thinking that this standard doesn't seem to take in varying COLA either. Also, maybe the Bishops don't consider that a priest may be willing to work part time in order to start a mission parish.ÂÂ
Cost of Living is taken into account. The standard is $40k a year plus expenses, which include such things as a housing allowance, car allowance, cell phone allowance, et cetera which can vary depending on where one lives; thus in a more rural area it may only be expected that a priest be paid $50-55k while in a large city, more money is needed to live on. Some priests are mission priests, at time supported by larger parishes, at times self-supported, but this is not expected of priests, and Bishops will generally only send priests into these conditions if the priests themselves request it; otherwise it simply is not fair to either the Priest or especially, if he is Married, his Family. If a parish wants a Priest, they are going to have to shoulder some of the burden and pay ones salary, if a Parish is unable to raise the modest amount required for a priest's salary either it is too small for a priest or the parishioners are not too concerned about getting one.
Regarding "athonite practice" I have never seen a vigli (i.e combining Orthros, Vespers and first hour) for a normal Sunday on the Holy Mountain (although I believe the Rossikon does them, but am not positive on that even).  Vigils are done only on feastdays IME (and those last over 12 hours!).
On the other hand, I've heard that there is a lot of poor-mouthing in Orthodoxy, and that often enough Orthodox parishes simply aren't willing to pay a living wage.
Wow Ania, if you confess on Saturday evening (early) it's ok to go and party??
While in theory this is good, in practice, this frequently is just not possible. I'm thinking the GOA expects most of their faithful to have high paying jobs.
Have you ever been to a GOA parish? The parishioners DO have high-paying jobs!ÂÂ
It would be nice if we could combine the salary of GOA priests and the number of services performed by your average ROCOR priest together I bet a lot of Slavic parishes could pay their priests more. There is poor but there is also cheap. The two are not always linked.Anastasios
Clergy compensation is a very difficult question in the Orthodox Church in North America. It always puzzles me that many OCA and ROCOR parishes pay their priests very little, if at all. Is it due to the poverty of the parishioners or a "mind set" about giving? I don't know. Having said that there is a certain mind set amongst many Orthodox that the priest should be kept humble and "poor" but he should have a degree from an Orthodox seminary, wear the finest vestments, have a presentable home, hand out lots of icons and books to potential converts (at his cost) and have nicely dressed kids and Matushka/Presbytera/Khouri. He should also not "corrupt himself" by having a secular job.Too many priests depend upon "stole money" for their income. This is money paid to them for baptisms, funerals, house blessings, prayers, etc. Thus, in a big parish, a priest may have a "book salary" of 25K but make another 75K (tax free) in stole money. This goes back to practices in the "old world" which reflected certain realities under the Ottomans and rural Russian life. There is much we can learn from some Protestant churches in regards to clergy compensation. We should encourage tithing and parish membership and get away from our dependence upon "dues" "candle money" and "fee for service." Finally, we have to be aware that we are now facing a clergy shortage in our NA Orthodox Churches. This is a situation that will get worse as the majority of our current clergy (in all jurisdictions) are in their 50's, 60's and 70's. If we cannot ensure the future young and not so young priests of our church that they can have a reasonable and secure income (I would suggest on the "income scale" that they should be paid the same as a school teacher) we will either have to close parishes or allow "less than desirable" candidates lead and pastor our parishes.Basil
And I have never heard of a priest being too busy to hear a confession. I know that mine frequently misses events being held at parishioner's homes because he has one scheduled to hear. That one just astounds me.

I know of two priests (both in the 'money hungry' and very much maligned in this site GOA, btw) who *never* accept any donations.
Your blanket condemnation of Orthodox priests is unworthy of you.
arjuna, don't be provocative. The conclusions your drawing are just... well, way off base.
