CLEAN & CLEAR® Essentials Dual Action Moisturizer combines oil-free moisture with a proven acne-fighting ingredient. It can help to moisturize dry skin while treating and helping to prevent breakouts. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Recomended for:
Skin Need: Dryness, Pimples
- After you've cleaned your face, and your pores, you're ready for the finishing touch.

- Apply a thin layer over the affect area. Do this once a day for the first few days, then gradually increase to 2-3 times a day if needed or recommended by your doctor.
- But be smart. If your skin starts to dry out or peel, reduce your use to once a day, or even every other day.

- "I love this product! It works wonders on my dry skin. I apply right after the shower and it makes my face so smooth." in 85 reviews
- "I first bought this a couple of years ago when my skin was acting up... I've since repurchased 4 or 5 times. It's so lightweight and lively on the skin. I have sensitive skin myself, dry cheeks and oily t-zone, and I find it truly moisturizing and mattifying. My husband actually loves it too. He has quite oily skin but says it feels tight after washing his face, so he pops a bit of this on and he loves it. Basically it does exactly what it says on the tin. The only downside is that it doesn't contain SPF, so I wouldn't use it in the mornings, but it's A-OK for night time! " in 55 reviews
- "This product is great for the winter when my hands dry out all the time. I was introduced to this by a friend when I forgot my moisturizer for a trip and after that, theres not much else that I'll want to use for my body. My face is very sensitive, so I don't use it there as much, or really ever." in 49 reviews

This is an excerpt from Coaching Youth Soccer, Fifth Edition, by American Sport Education Program with Sam Snow.
Goal To develop the ability to gather ground balls
Description Play 2v1 in a playing area 20 yards long by 15 yards wide, with a goal set up at one end, as shown in the diagram. The 2 attackers try to score on the goalkeeper. The attackers take five shots on goal, passing between themselves and trying to get the best shot possible. The keeper is awarded 2 points for a clean scoop (one in which he cleanly gathers the ball) and 1 point for any other type of save. The goalkeeper receives no points if a goal is scored. To restart play, the goalkeeper tosses the ball back to the attackers. After every five chances to defend the goal, rotate players so that everyone has a chance to play keeper.
Goal To develop and encourage the basic diving technique for goalkeepers
Description Play 1v1 in a playing area 20 yards long by 15 yard wide, with a 5-foot-high goal set up at one end, as shown in the diagram. One player positions in the goal and acts as a goalkeeper, and the other player shoots at the goal. To start, the goalkeeper gets five tries to dive and save using proper technique (this activity can also be adapted to focus on goalkeepers gathering air balls without diving for them). Award 1 point for each successful dive and save.

Meet Five Celebrities Who Have Had Worse Tax Days Than Yours
In celebration of Tax Day today, we here at Law Law Land offer tribute to our favorite celebrity/IRS run-ins. Now, lest you think this is just another list airing dirty celebrity tax laundry, think again. This is a classy publication, as you well know, so if you're looking for dirt on which celebrities owe what, look elsewhere. . . like here, or here, or here. Instead, on this national day of tax collection, Law Law Land is pleased recognize five (or more) of our favorite celebrity tax stories of all time… so far.
Honorable Mention: Timothy Geithner
In our Honorable Mention category of "Really, Are You Kidding Me?," we recognize former Treasury Secretary (i.e., head of the U.S. Treasury, the folks you make that tax check out to) Timothy Geithner, who underpaid his personal federal income taxes from 2001 to 2004 by failing to report and pay social security and self-employment tax on income received from the International Monetary Fund. Mr. Former Secretary subsequently amended his returns since he "should have been more careful." We imagine he regretted his "unintentional" decision not to report that income when appearing before the Senate Finance Committee during his confirmation hearings to control the United States' piggy bank.
Honorable Mention: Nick Diaz
In our Honorable Mention category of "How Dumb Can You Be?," the award goes to MMA fighter Nick Diaz, who recently announced during a post-match press conference that he has "never paid taxes in his life" and "is probably going to jail." Well, if Nick had only read about some of the other people on this list, then he definitely would have seen that coming! Continue reading the full story . . . »

IDAHO FALLS – Michael Dean Perry, 55, of Idaho Falls passed away Tuesday March 5, 2013 in Idaho Falls.
Michael was born on Jan. 15, 1958 in Blackfoot to John R. and Arlene Thurman Perry. He grew up in Idaho, spending his summers on the Yankee Fork enjoying the family cabins. The whole family learned about life with the bare necessities.
Mike was a long haul truck driver for over 35 years. He loved driving truck and getting out on the road seeing new things. He was known on his CB as "Wolfman". He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, and wolves. He was a large caring Christian man who was generous to all.
He married Wendy Lynn Baker in Idaho Falls. While they later divorced, Wendy remained his true love and companion.
Survivors include his true love and companion Wendy of Idaho Falls; sisters Kristine Hernandez of Blackfoot; Barbara Estrada and Linda (Papis) Fatty, both of Idaho Falls; and Elizabeth Rodriguez (Joe) of Afton, Wyo.; brothers Dan (Linda) of Blackfoot and Frank Perry of Cienna, Va.
He was preceded in death by his parents John and Arlene Perry, and a brother John D. Perry
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, March 9, 2013, at Buck-Miller-Hann Funeral Home, 825 E. 17th Street in Idaho Falls. A viewing for family and friends will be held one hour prior to the funeral.
The family suggest donations be made to Buck-Miller-Hann Funeral Home.
Online condolences for the family may be left at www.buckmillerhann.com.

Compare slopes of functions II
Unit 4: INTERPRETING AND COMPARING LINEAR FUNCTIONS
Lesson 13 of 20
Lesson 13 of 20
Objective: SWBAT solve problems involving linear functions flexibly.
Big Idea: Logic rules! Students apply everything they know about linear functions to solve problems flexibly. This is a lesson that brings a lot of different standards together, and pushes kids to be flexible and logical in their thinking.
75 minutes
10 min
Each day, students complete a warm-up that usually consists of spiraling the previous day's material, in addition to older material. Warm-up problems also sometimes extend lessons that students have encountered before to more unfamiliar contexts.
For a video narrative about how I structure each lesson, and how the warm-up fits in, click here.
Today's warm-up pushes students to move flexibly between multiple representations of a given linear function.

What is a Function?
Big Idea: Students will identify whether a relation is a function by examining its inputs and outputs or with the vertical line test.
Choosing a Method to Find x-intercepts
Big Idea: Students take a step back from their work to examine a variety of quadratic functions and reflect on why they might choose one method over another.
Seeing Structure in Dot Patterns and Linear Functions
Big Idea: By pulling from and synthesizing the work we've done over time, students get a sense for narrative structure of this course.

Meet the author of Lombardi biography
Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss will discuss his book, "When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi," at the Windhover Center for the Arts on Thursday, October 13.
Maraniss will discuss his book with Fond du Lac Reporter Managing Editor Mike Mentzer at a free gathering at 7 p.m.
At 6 p.m., Maraniss will be on hand for an intimate "Meet the Author" event. A limited number of tickets will go on sale for $5 each on September 6 at the Windhover and the Fond du Lac Public Library. Ticketholders will be privy to hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar and reserved seating at the 7 p.m. free event. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
"When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Lombardi" has been selected for a month-long Fond du Lac Reads celebration in October. The book is a thorough review of the iconic coach's life, from his childhood as an Italian immigrant butcher's son in Brooklyn to his seminal tenure as Packers coach from 1959 to 1967.
BookList wrote: "This is a carefully researched, often poignant, three-dimensional biography. In an era where image is usually synonymous with illusion, it is refreshing to realize that Lombardi, whose private and public selves were so similar, was a man of substance and depth." Sports Illustrated wrote, "(The book) forges a near-perfect synthesis of fine writing and fascinating material. May be the best sports biography ever published."
The library will host special events to help foster discussion and understanding on the ideas and themes of the book throughout October.
Madison native Maraniss, an associate editor at The Washington Post, is author of eight books, including "First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton;" "They Marched into Sunlight: War and Peace, Vietnam and America, 1967;" and most recently, "Into the Story: A Writer's Journey through Life, Politics, Sports and Loss." He's now putting the finishing touches on a biography of Barack Obama, "Man of the World," scheduled for publication in spring 2012.
Maraniss won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 1993 for his newspaper coverage of then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton. He also was part of The Washington Post team that won a 2008 Pulitzer for the newspaper's coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting.
"When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi" has been adapted into a critically acclaimed Broadway play, "Lombardi," which will begin a run at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater in Milwaukee on October 11.
"Meet the Author" is sponsored by the Friends of the Fond du Lac Public Library. A limited number of tickets is available at the Main Desk of the Fond du Lac Public Library, 32 Sheboygan St., and at the Windhover Center for the Arts, 51 Sheboygan St. For more information, call the library at (920) 929-7080, ext. 146.

Ted Leo is the Billy Bragg of the 2000's. It's a comparison that he doesn't seem to like, but an apt one: he's the thoughtful punk with a conscience, he's content to let his lyrics do all the talking and with his Pharmacists, doesn't try to overwhelm the solid musicianship with volume and speed. He does try to branch out on his new album, Living With The Living, but the end result is the same – another great album. There's a lot of the Ted Leo standard of "thinking man's punk," but on "Bomb.Repeat.Bomb" he sounds more like Dexter Holland of the Offspring – and it's better than you'd think. His attempt at a reggae-influenced song, "The Unwanted Things," is, unfortunately, not better than you'd think, but when he takes a stab at a dancier song with "The Lost Brigade," it works, and well.
That's not to say that the old formula isn't still a good one. "Sons of Cain" is one of the best songs on the album, and "CIA," which is to Living With The Living what "Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone" was to Hearts of Oak, is right up there with it. "Colleen" is a little slower, but still great, and "Annunciation Day/Born on Christmas Day" is faster, but still great. All in all, a simply great album that makes me want to pick up a sign and go protest.
Overall: 9/10

Dr Dowell is great. My daughter and I both had appointments today. He was extremely patient and engaging with her. I was also recently diagnosed with a medical condition and he spent time talking to me about it, and just listened and empathisized. Nice to see doctors who care about you as a person! Kudos!

They made us feel like we were the most important patients of the day and went to great lengths to make us feel welcome. And, most importantly, they provided excellent veterinary care and discussed in detail each dogs specific health scenario and all of the options and possible avenues for treatment.

One Direction to Taylor Swift: 'Hashtag Get Over It'
Also, Harry Styles explains his awards show snack, the orange.
When Taylor Swift accepted the award for Best Female Video for "I Knew You Were Trouble" at the VMAs on Sunday, she threw some major shade at her ex Harry Styles: "I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because now I got one of these," she said. We brought the not-so-subtle dis up to his One Direction bandmates at the New York premiere of their concert doc, One Direction: This Is Us, last night, and they responded in the most charmingly sarcastic way possible, starting with Liam Payne: "When she said those things about Niall, we were very, very pissed off," he joked. Then Niall Horan joined in on it: "I was so upset that she would go writing songs about me after all we've been through." Back to Liam: "Hashtag get over it ... I was going to do a Kanye! It's the best video of all time!" What stopped him? "Kanye himself."
As for how Harry was handling the affront — well, he seemed just about as fine as he did when the audience cam showed his calm, unaffected reaction to Taylor's speech in the first place. But he wouldn't actually comment on it. He did happily tell us about the "proper orange," he was eating at the awards show. (We thought it might be a tangerine or clementine, but no.) "I found it in a lift. An elevator," he said. "In a box! Not just rolling around on the floor. I offered a piece to Rihanna. I was very conscious while I was peeling it. I thought I was going to spray her in the back of the head. But it was okay." Swoon.

This service is currently undergoing maintenance.
Please try again later.
Hellomagazine.com, the online version of the celebrity magazine, was redesigned a couple of months ago.
I've been having a look around the Hello website to see if the revamp has improved the site, and how it compares to those of its rivals; sites like iVillage, More, and heatworld.
Plenty of white space on the homepage lets you find your way around the content on offer, though it might be considered a bit 'busy'. There's little contrast and it is quite difficult to anchor the eye. Maybe that's just me? Also, there are a few gaps appearing with no content or ads, though it could just be a broswer issue.
The space above the fold is dominated by a Flash scroller displaying some of the top stories. This is all content which is not being indexed by search engines, and other sites like heatworld and Glamour.com manage to display latest stories and pictures without resorting to Flash.
The box to the right of this seems to be underused as well, just displaying six headlines for 'news in pictures'. In such a prominent position, this would be better employed in promoting most recent / most popular stories, to give visitors more reason to click on the links.
Below the fold, the blogs and videos are under-promoted, a few dull text links are all that promote the site's video content, which isn't especially extensive anyway, while the blog is hardly mentioned at all.
Why not display the latest and most commented posts to get visitors more involved? All will become clear...
Navigation / search / load times
The navigation is good, simple to use, and consistent across the site. Likewise, the search function worked well for the terms I tried out, though Google ads take up much of the results page, while I got a 'Server is not able to respond to your request. Please try again!' message on a couple of search attempts.
Load times were mainly OK throughout the site, though the page refresh is a bit jarring on the eye, especially on some of the galleries.
Blogs / UGC
Considering the popularity of blogs and user generated content, especially in entertainment and celebrity gossip, I was surprised at the lack of such features on the site.
Amazingly, comments have been completely disabled on the articles due to abuse. Hello should seriously reconsider this, as encouraging comments and debates gives users a reason to read 'most commented' articles, as well as returning to the site to see what people are saying.
Trolls are always a problem on blogs and comments pages, but this can be solved with good moderation. While I prefer post moderation as a way to keep the debate moving quickly, it would be better to pre-approve comments rather then not allow them at all.
Heatworld, by contrast, allows comments, and has plenty of them on most of its articles. This means that people are coming back to the site to check them, as well as being more likely to recommend articles to friends.
Also, why not have a few more blogs on different entertainment topics, and promote more prominently throughout the site, on the homepage and from related articles?
The site has one blog which, judging by the number of comments, isn't attracting too many people. This isn't surprising, as links to the blog could easily be missed.
Having had a good look around the site, I found a couple of examples of intrusive ads, which isn't good for the user experience. Overlays popped up on a few occasions, obscuring the content behind them, and forcing users to hunt for the 'x' to close it:
Worse still, I encountered a few interstitials when moving around the site. The interstitial is, for my money, the most interruptive of all ad formats and as such to be completely avoided by publishers unless they are a) totally desperate for revenue and b) happy to butcher the user experience, and to hell with the long term consequences:
Obviously the majority of publishers need to make money from advertising to make their business models work, but they should also consider the possible consequences of annoying readers with intrusive ad formats. We don't visit or link to certain websites purely because they sell out the user experience, and you can be sure that we're not the only ones...
Hellomagazine isn't a bad site; it has a decent range of celebrity content, and is easy enough to get around, but it doesn't seem to match the look and feel of its print counterpart.
It could take a few pointers from sites like heatworld, which has a more appealing look and does a better job of promoting its content and getting readers involved on blogs and comments pages.
I'd also recommend having a rethink about ad formats, as the overlays and interstitials are bad for the user experience and may scare users away.

It's amazing to see how basic these sites were just a few years ago, the design of sites now is at last becoming elegant and sophisticated and a good thing too.
I just had a look at Hello's new site and thankfully it's a great deal more attractive, I especially like the count down to the Jubilee... Just 24 days!
I think the competiton adverts should be made clearer to readers - informing them that they have to join certain organisations if they wish to participate in a competition i.e. K2 Vapour Infusion Treatment Irons

I am trying to create a dynamic shipping form. It is very complicated, but I hope that when complete, it will be totally fool-proof. Basically, what I have set up so far is an order entry page in which a user can specify details for ordering posters.
He can select the total quantity of posters he wants, then select the total number of different designs he wants. Say 10 total posters with a quantity of 4 for "design_1" and a quantity of 6 for "design_2".
php is storing all this information in a session, along with some other height X width information:
[FONT="Courier New"]//retrieving dynamic order info
for ($i = 1; $i <= (int)$SESSION['number_of_individual_designs']; $i++) {
$SESSION['design'.$i.'name'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'name'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'qty'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'qty'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'size_w_1'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'size_w_1'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'size_w_2'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'size_w_2'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'size_h_1'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'size_h_1'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'size_h_2'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'size_h_2'];
$SESSION['design'.$i.'num_of_extension'] = $REQUEST['design'.$i.'_num_of_extension'];[/FONT]
I want that a customer can ship to as many different addresses as total amount of posters ordered ($qty_sum). And I want the user to be constantly informed about how many of a particular design he has remaining (without a shipping address assigned). Like this, a user will be at first confronted with a dropdown with numbers ranging between 1 and $qty_sum.
[FONT="Courier New"]<?
$qty_sum=0; //holds the total qty
for ($i=1; $i<=$SESSION['number_of_individual_designs']; ++$i){
Design <?= $i ?>

Quantity <?= $SESSION['design_'.$i.'qty']?>
<? $qty_sum += $_SESSION['design_'.$i.'qty'];
num of unique shipping address

<form method="post" action="shipping_address.php">
<select id="num_shipping_addr" name="num_shipping_addr" onchange="submit();">
<option value="">Select...</option>
for ($a=1; $a<=$qty_sum; ++$a){
<option value="<?=$a?>"><?=$a?></option>

<form method="post" action="shipping_address_process.php">
$num_shipping_addr = $_REQUEST['num_shipping_addr'];
for ($c = 1; $c <= $num_shipping_addr; ++$c) {

address <?=$c?>

address 1 <input type="text" name="address<?=$c?>addr_1" id="" />
address 2 <input type="text" name="address<?=$c?>addr_2" id="" />
If he chooses 2, then two address forms will appear. At the bottom of each address form, will be a dynamic number of dropdowns. The number will be equal to the number of designs chosen. In this case, 2 designs; the user will see two lines:
"how many of design_1 will be shipped to this address" + dropdown
"how many of design_2 will be shipped to this address" + dropdown
With each dropdown maxing out at the total quantity of each design. In this example, design_1's dropdown would go to 6 and design_2 to 4.
Each time a user selects a number to be shipped in one address, the other dropdowns should update to have their maximum values reflect the number of posters which have not yet been assigned a shipping address. Also a dynamic text indicator like, "up to 3" showing that the number of posters remaining (like in the sketch "up to 15") would be very user-friendly.
I am quite stumped about this nested dynamism. But I am convinced this can be a very cool, very idiot-proof from. Necessary for the massive amounts of information which a user must keep track of in it.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me! I am self-taught, and quite at the edge of my abilities.
I understand that this is a complex application and a lot of work. I definitely would appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction as far as making changes to a variable iteration of an object, when it is unknown how many iterations there will be.
Thanks so much,

Those were the days. There were nine ranking events plus six televised invitation tournaments. Snooker was ending the decade as it had begun it: as one of television sport's great success stories.
And it was ending it with Stephen Hendry as world champion.
It's all too easy for people to forget now just what an extraordinary impact Hendry had on snooker from a very young age.
He remains the youngest player ever to compete at the Crucible. He is still the youngest world champion.
Like the Beatles, he did it all by the time he was 30. His record seventh world title triumph in 1999 came just a few months after this milestone.
When he was 19, Hendry said he would retire by 30. He could have done, as well, as he had nothing left to prove, but like all great champions he wanted more...and more...and more.
Hendry won that first Champions Cup and the British Open that followed. He remained a leading force for several more years and was world no.1 for the 2006/07 season.
Yet, in the last couple of years he has found results harder to come by and starts the new campaign outside the top eight for the first time in 21 years.
At 40, is this decline irreversible?
What does the future hold for the game's greatest ever player?
Well, logic suggests that his slide down the rankings will continue. However, the evidence of other great players proves that it is possible to stem the tide.
Alex Higgins did it in the late 1980s/early 90s. He would have been back in the top 16 in 1990 had he not been banned for a year for a litany of indefensible incidents.
Jimmy White did it as well. In 2004 he reached two ranking finals, winning the Players Championship, and rose to eighth in the rankings, even if he then declined again.
And, of course, Steve Davis has proved an immovable object. His run to the final of the 2005 UK Championship was a reminder that the legends are made of different stuff to the rest.
Hendry doesn't lack for motivation. Sure, he may not like practising as much as he once did but he still relishes competition.
It would be foolish to just write him off. At the last two World Championships he has shown that, on the big stage, he can still deliver strong performances.
Last season he referred to his problem being "the chaos in my head" whenever he came to the table.
I believe this chaos stems from Hendry's inability to accept that he isn't as good as he was. However, he doesn't need to be that good to remain in the top 16. If he can accept that the glory days are over, he can relax and start to enjoy snooker more.
And if that happens, he may find that results start to come more regularly.
There are new challenges to look forward to. Hendry is heavily involved in 110sport's new internet channel and will take centre stage in a showpiece match against Ding Junhui in China.
There is also the satisfaction, now that he is the oldest member of the top 16, of putting some of the young pretenders to the sword.
The 90s are becoming a distant memory. There is a whole generation of snooker fans who don't remember Hendry at his best.
But every now and again, as in making his maximum at the Crucible this year, he reminds everyone of what he is capable of.
In Croydon ten years ago, as he looked ahead to the new season and reflected on his seventh world title, Hendry told me: "If I never win another match, it won't bother me."
I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now.
Winning is what drives any great champion. The quest to prove everyone wrong and be a winner again still drives Stephen Hendry.
15 comments:
In such a tournament as the world championship, where he plays much more often and longer sessions, Hendry will always be a threat as he has time to 'get his eye in'. For example, this year, he wasn't too impressive in the first round against Williams but this warmed him up for a run of good form. In the smaller tournaments, he doesn't get this luxury and this is where he might continue to struggle. Perhaps he should consider some serious match practice the day or two before his opening matches in tournaments like the Grand Prix, etc, so he goes into each game 'warm'.

Dear Dave
How are you. You are trying really hard to shake up your many followers with a "what do you think" thread on snookers big names.
Its quite a while Dave since someone asked what your favourite colour is on Sundays. You are definately a trier lad attempting to keep snooker chat alive.
Hendry like Davis and other champs have lost the fear factor that was good for a few years. Ability wise there is not a black ball difference in the top twenty.
There is some rubbish talk of resorting to "Tactics and Safety Play" by Steve Davis: this is an excuse as it takes the exact same correct strike patern to pot a ball as it does to make a great softy.
Safty tactics should only be used if there is not a pot on. The game as Ronnie has said is about entertaining, and sadly snooker often shows second class entertainment as the punters seldom notice or complain.
Stephen is good for another five "worlds" if he stopped practiceing the faults he's adopted that are sometimes successful, but hard to detect. Mr hey you
PS You can put this on the back burner Dave I have a copy DM
- 11:54 am
DM, your comment is bit contradictory.
"Safety should only used if there is not a pot on" - It obviously must be used, if you are not confident with the pot, if you think it's too risky or if you can see a good safety that can create and opening...
You mentioned Ronnie, who says snooker is a game of entertainement, but a good a safety battle is also entertainment and Ronnie himself is one of the best tacticians of all time.
PS: Congratulations for another great post Dave.
- 1:33 pm
Why do you write "inability to except", followed by "if he can accept", 2 lines later?
Why not use the same word in both instances?
It would make more sense!

Thanks for allowing the post. Though yu are not a player of any means, I detect that would like to be and can grasp the advance players dilema.
Its hard Dave to convince the keen snooker buff that the game has nothing to do with "Natural Ability" but habit and if good habits are acquired this is really a branch of "Snooker Technique".

Dear Mr Silva
How are you. Snooker as a game will never die or even falter; but Pro' Snooker as a sport is sadly dieing of boredom created by the sameness and the repetitiveness that killed off the lovely game of billiards.
TV sponsors doesn't want safety play as it relies on viewer/ customers that don't really understand the technicalities of the game but are entertained by the skill factor of balls whizzing into pockets. Snooker is a beautiful game Mr Silva and looses much with continuous century breaks.
Professional snooker is really already dead but not buried yet. The games only hope is to introduce and promote women players and younger coaches. Players will never change to suit TV sponsors. Mr hey you

Snooker now, in 2009, is more popular than it's ever been on television.
Unlike most people, I'm not referring to the UK. Snooker is not just a UK sport.
In China, tens of millions watch on TV. In Europe, there are now snooker fans in Russia, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and so on and so on.
There is nothing wrong with the game other than the continuing UK bias.
- 12:18 pm
even in the UK its holding it own very nicely compared to other sport but people are judging snooker on TV with the success of the 4 station ratings of the 80s.
where Eastendres Rating has droped about 60% from what it was in 1985.

I see that the "I love Clive brigade" has been transfered in baulk to another site. Its sad Dave; the way these youngsters have been minipulated and brain washed with such ease. Clive is definately NOT the worst commentator but that doesent justify such false support for his recall to the chatter box.
Repeatedly Clive assured the viewers (With in depth knowledge) the reason the cue ball dident reach the baulk cusion was: With great insight again; it wasent hit hard enough! and that Dave is with fifty years experience.
Clive maybe wants to be around to educate the "Silly" and the many experienced viewers the art of Screw Back shots; Clive has it word perfect from the Fine Art (copyright)book.

How are you.Your friend Stephen Hendry is good for five more worlds. His game was very compact for the first six titles without assistance. (Except fielders)
Steven struggled with his seventh title as he changed his "style of play" plus his "stance and balance". Steven went off the boil and like Jimmy White after Jimmys spell in doc he got some dicy advice.
Snooker cheates you know, as a total of around seventy wins the frame and Stephen lost his habit of playing on after he had won the frame. Steven let his opponents back in too often and removed the fear factor for the next frame.Mr hey you

UConn's top booster on Pasqualoni firing: I told you so
The last time Robert Burton Sr. watched a UConn football game on television, the Huskies were playing Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day 2011.
It was a defining moment for a program often stuck in the shadow of men's and women's basketball, one that proved to be fleeting for the largest public university in the state and its disillusioned top football booster.
Since UConn hired Paul Pasqualoni to replace Randy Edsall as coach 28 games ago, Burton has been conspicuously absent from home games at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
But even Burton couldn't avoid peeking at the final score Saturday night -- the University of Buffalo 41, UConn 12.
"I almost fell out of my chair," said Burton, 75, a football-obsessed corporate raider from Greenwich.
Hours after the school dismissed Pasqualoni as its head coach Monday, Burton gave Hearst Connecticut Newspapers an exclusive interview. He said he was tipped off about the change by Athletic Director Warde Manuel, who came to UConn from the University of Buffalo in February 2012, a year after Pasqualoni's hiring.
"You had the wrong match," Burton said. "I told the university that from day one. I don't glee over it."
Burton said he spoke to Manuel about the state of the football program as recently as three weeks ago, but stopped short of calling for Pasqualoni's head.
"They know that. I don't have to say that. And the tone of my voice would sort of imply that," Burton said.
From the onset of Pasqualoni's doomed tenure with the Huskies, Burton publicly questioned the administration's decision to bring the former Syracuse coach and Cheshire native aboard. Burton's youngest son, Joe, played for Pasqualoni at Syracuse.
Peeved that he was not consulted during the hiring process, Burton went so far as to threaten legal action against UConn if it did not remove his family's name from the campus football complex and refund $3 million in booster money he gave to the program. Burton eventually softened his stance, but vowed to keep his distance so long as Pasqualoni roved the sidelines. An 0-4 start to the 2013 campaign sealed Pasqualoni's fate.
"I knew what I knew. And I know what I know," said Burton, who has given more than $7 million to UConn overall.
Burton characterized Pasqualoni's ability to attract talented student-athletes to the football program as a dramatic drop-off from Edsall, who left UConn for Maryland
"If you can't get these four- and five-star recruits, you're not going to have a winning program," Burton said. "You just don't stay in business that way."
Burton is chairman and chief executive of Burton Capital Management, a hedge fund based in Greenwich.
He holds the same management position at Cenveo Inc. in Stamford, which touts itself as a $2 billion enterprise with 8,000 worldwide employees that is the third-largest graphics communication company in North America.
In September, Burton named UConn President Susan Herbst to the seven-member corporate board of Cenveo, getting in the ear of the school's top administrator, who joined the university in June 2011 after Pasqualoni's hiring.
"I hope I have an opportunity to participate in whatever they're going to do with their football program," Burton said.
"You're 0-4 here. You just don't bring someone who waves a magic wand and the next thing you know you're 9-1."
Burton said he hopes the school will seek his input during its search for a permanent replacement for Pasqualoni, who ceded the reins to offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach T.J. Weist for the remainder of the season.
UConn should target an up-and-coming coordinator and proven motivator rather than go after a household name, Burton said.
"I don't think we're looking for that kind of coach," he said. "If there was another Bear Bryant out there, you'd have to get in line and you'd be 98th in line."

Mad Max
Fury RoadDVD - 2015
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Good movie, was entertaining to see Furiosa!
5 Stars-One of the greatest action films of recent times, and a worthwhile addition to the Mad Max mythology. I would deem it the second best Mad Max AFTER The Road Warrior starring Mel Gibson. Action films can be well executed, thrilling and intelligent and this film succeeds on all fronts- George Miller does it again.
what putrid shit. really, I thought I was watching a bunch of methamphetamine freaks cavorting evilly around. who needs that? who likes that? the story is simple enough, as are speed junkies.
I don't think I'll ever get over the final shot of this movie. It's a masterpiece of its genre.
Even after two viewings, I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller's action fantasy is astonishingly dense for a big-budget spectacle, not only in its imagery and ideas but in the complex interplay between them.
Mad Max: Fury Road was financed by the Koch Brothers along with this summer's big blockbuster, Wonder Woman. Continued support of films like these lines the pockets of villainous men. Watch Maudie if you want to see an inspiring film about a real, and Canadian, woman.
I could pick at the odd awkward moment and the general implausibility of this world, but this is Mad Max: love it or leave it. If you have a problem with its message, that's on you. Action, design, acting, stunts are all wonderful, and its simple story is perfectly told. Fury Road respects its viewers enough to fill in gaps with their own imagination, and leave them wanting more. You wouldn't think there'd be room for much character development in an almost continuous chase movie, but Nicholas Hoult is touching and innocent as War Boy Nux. "I live, I die, I live again...."
. Great " Mad Max " series movie .
. Lots of action , some : goofy .
. no ' dead ' spots - moves right along - like " Van Helsing " .
Five EPIC Stars. Director George Miller has unleashed a grand-looking $150 Million budgeted epic SciFi movie. This gritty, bloody, action-adventure movie, "Mad Max-Fury Road" is set in the bleak, dystopian future world as were the three previous Mad Max movies which starred Mel Gibson. Society is no better off now than before as everything is scarce and it has collapsed into smaller, brutal, socio-economic communities. Max, played excellently by Tom Hardy, haunted by events from his past, is pursued by a group which wants him. Meanwhile, Furiosa, a high-ranking female who is played with abandon by Oscar-winner Charlize Theron, sets off on a bloody run down Fury Road that will lead straight into adventure, spectacular battles, amazing-looking vehicles, and mind-boggling mechanical assemblages, amid some awesome physical stunts in these desert vistas.
I really wanted to like this movie, and yet still was disappointed just the same. It had nothing to do with the strong performances of Hardy and Theron .. the plot is bleak and grimy. What a wonderful future our kids have in store!! Another action movie with lots of blow up but no sense of how this can be or that can happen. Still prefer Mel's original version ...
QuotesAdd a Quote
Max Rockatansky: You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane.
Max self-intro: My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else. ... I am the one that runs both from the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive.

Alumnae Hall and Alumnae House are both named in honor of Hood College alumnae and alumni. The first degrees from The Women's College of Frederick, now known as Hood, were awarded in 1895. To date, over 10,500 bachelor's degrees and 2,266 master's degrees have been awarded to graduates.
In 1897, the Hood College Alumnae Association was established. According to its bylaws, the Alumnae Association was established "to promote the well being of the college and its alumnae and further the cause of higher education." The bylaws of the Alumnae Association define an alumna or alumnus as anyone who earned 12 academic credits and left the College in good academic standing.
Alumni have played an important role in campus life. Hood College's long-standing traditions and Hood community outreach activities were supported by the Alumnae Association. New students have been greeted in the fall by Alumnae Association representatives, and the Alumnae Association would help sponsor the spring semester Sophomore Dinner, when class patches are distributed. A reception given by the Alumnae Association for juniors precedes the Ring Dinner, a formal occasion where juniors may wear the distinctive Hood College ring for the first time. The popular Strawberry breakfast, for graduates and their families the morning of graduation, is hosted by the association.
The Hood College Magazine has its roots in the former Alumnae News Bulletin. The content of the magazine is developed in conjunctions with an alumnae and alumni editorial board.
Alumnae and alumni return to the campus the first weekend of June for Reunion Weekend, with class reunions held every five years. Special recognition is given to the 25th and 50th reunion classes, and three awards are presented: the Alumnae Achievement Award, the Distinguished Alumna Award, and the Outstanding Young Alumna Award. Twenty-seven alumnae and alumni hold honorary degrees from Hood College.
Alumnae and alumni also play an important role in the governance of Hood. Six alumni are recommended by the Alumni Association to serve as Alumni Trustees.
The buildings named for alumnae and alumni are important hubs of activity. Alumnae Hall, popularly known as the Ad building, was conceived by Hood College's first president, Joseph Henry Apple, and built under contract by Lloyd Culler. Margaret Scholl Hood's gift of land and subsequent bequest enabled the College to begin construction of Alumnae Hall and Shriner Hall. Ground was broken on April 2, 1914; the cornerstone was laid in conjunction with the 1914 Commencement; and the building was occupied in the fall of 1915. The four iconic columns that grace its front were named Hope, Opportunity, Obligation, and Democracy.
Alumnae Hall currently houses administrative offices for the President, the Division of Administration and Finance, the Division of Academic Affairs, the Division of Student Affairs, the Tidball Center for the Study of Educational Environments, and the Department of Sociology and Social Work.
Alumnae House was originally built in 1920 as a home for the College president. Plans for the house had been drawn up over a number of years by Dr. Apple and his family. Funds to construct the home came largely from contributions from loyal and loving alumnae and alumni.
After the new president's house was built in 1961, the building was used as a residence and foreign language house. In 1989 it was renovated to house the offices of Development and Alumnae Programs. Contributing major gifts for the renovation were Sylvia Weinberg of Frederick and Katharine Cutshall '24 of Baltimore and the Cutshall Family.
Alumnae House serves as a visitor center for alumni returning to the campus throughout the year.

1. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?David__B Apr 23, 2012 9:33 AM (in response to kysterama)
Hi Kysterama,
Thank you for your comments.
Adobe decides the price at which it sells its product on the Adobe Store. A number of factors influence our regional pricing including local market conditions and the cost of doing business in that region. Please note that resellers are free to decide at which price they sell Adobe products, which can be less than the price on the Adobe Store.
We establish our prices for Creative Suite products in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen, British Pound and Australian dollars on a regional basis using a consistent methodology. Local market conditions significantly influence our pricing – these include the costs of doing business in different regions and customer research that assesses the value of the product in the local market.
We conduct the majority of our business through our retail and licensing channels. We depend on our retail partners in local markets to help us reach as many customers as possible, support those customers, and much more.
As stated, the cost of doing business in the rest of the world is higher than in North America. That higher cost is reflected in some of our pricing and would remain no matter how customers chose to purchase. For example, customers will still read about our products through local press to whom we reach out; they will meet local Adobe sales people who conduct seminars, participate in user groups, and visit large customers; and they will rely on support resources that Adobe makes available in these markets. All of these efforts impact the business costs of securing the sale, whether that sale is delivered online or in a box.
2. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Incroyal Apr 23, 2012 12:51 PM (in response to David__B)
I totally agree with the original poster, there is no justification for such differences. 25% more in Australia, 56% more in Switzerland. No way these numbers make sense.
Of course as an Adobe employee you have the obligation to repeat great excuses such as "cost of doing business locally", or better yet "customer research that assesses the value of the product in the local market". But in the end, the fact is you simply overcharge everywhere you can, and that doesn't enhance the value of your product, it simply makes you look like thieves to the customers in the said local markets.
3. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Adam Kozlowski Apr 25, 2012 2:10 AM (in response to David__B)
David, it's not the "costs of doing business" that are higher (in the meaning that rent or workforce is more costly) - it's just taxes. And indeed, the tax wedge for businesses operating in other parts of the world is higher (the income tax in Poland for companies is 19%, there are other taxes too), but there's also VAT that Incroyal and the original poster forget - the US does not have VAT. If you are a company then you can deduct your VAT later on, but that's another story.
As far as i remember, the total tax wedge for an American citizen is about 15% whereas for a Swede it's approx 60%.
Plus, if Adobe operated from the US only that'd be a different story, but also - that would mean more complicated accounting for Adobe (being able to sell to companies in EU, for example, they'd have to get a EU taxpayer identification number and impose VAT on sales to EU anyway).
The only solution for individuals is to get an American citizenship
4. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?kysterama Apr 25, 2012 2:49 AM (in response to Adam Kozlowski)
Thanks for the cut and paste response David. I read those exact words in 3 different articles this week related to adobe's pricing stance.
One of our own politicians is calling foul play on the whole sordid business and we can only hope that the ACCC investigates as a result.
When you own a monopoly on the creative industry, there should be a price to pay for gouging customers like this.
The only tax in Australia is Goods and Services Tax (GST) which is 10%
Adobe are throwing cream on top of that to the tune of whatever-they-feel-like.
For example, the cloud subscription price is 25% more, but check out the upgrade price for the production premium suite I own.
In the US, it costs $375 to go from cs5.5 to cs6
In Australia, the exact same product is $626!
So for one delivery method (cloud subscription) of the EXACT SAME software it's a 25% hike, and to go the boxed upgrade route of my production premium suite(Again, SAME SOFTWARE, minus half the adobe range) it's a 59% mark-up!!!! There is no valid reason for this and this wildly inappropriate mark-up discrepancy proves it.
By Adam's reasoning, I should be paying 25%-60% more in Australia for every product that comes from the States simply because I don't live there. That's not how free markets work. I don't pay more for Windows, or OSX. I don't pay more for pc hardware which actually has a shipping cost to get to my country. In fact, we don't even pay GST or customs on any product under $1000Au. This means me buying any product from the states (such as an adobe upgrade for $375US) costs exactly $375 US.
It's a "buy" button on a web store – no staff costs
It's then a download from a US server – Same server cost per download for everyone.
No people involved, a perfectly virtual non-physical product delivered directly to my hard drive. But you want to charge me $250 more because you can and because you've gotten away with it for so long. All it does is promote piracy and make me wonder why I even support a company like this.
5. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Adam Kozlowski Apr 25, 2012 3:01 AM (in response to kysterama)
Well, your reasoning seems logical. If that's the case with other equipment or software, i don't get why Adobe stuff should be more expensive.
In the EU it's just a different story and it's funny what you wrote "that's not how free markets work" - i would love to believe in something like a free market, but it exists only in economy books, not in real life. I can only send greetings to you my friend from this sad prison of virtual economical freedom that is the European Union.
6. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Incroyal Apr 30, 2012 6:31 AM (in response to Adam Kozlowski)
Switzerland is not part of the EU.
Total sales taxes in Switzerland are 8%, i.e. about the same you would get in New York or California. There is no other applicable tax.
7. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?FlippinDesigner Apr 30, 2012 4:34 PM (in response to kysterama)
As a long time and relatively loyal Adobe User, I really do question my attachment to the company.
I have owned CS2, CS5, and now just pre-ordered CS6.
The problem is that I live in New Zealand (which comes under the Australian Store, the most expensive Adobe store in the world). The problem with this is that Australia's economy and wages are in far better condition than in New Zealand, with the NZD being worth on 75c in Australian Dollars. Compouding with this the Average wage in Australia is 30% higher than here...
Ouch Ouch Ouch, is all I can say.
It is actually preventing me from purchasing other Adobe products, which at last check are on average 2.5 time higher than the price of the US equivalent.
I have been keeping an ear to the street here, and the average current version of adobe being run by most print shops and production houses is around CS2, or CS3. They all "WANT TO UPGRADE" but simply cannot justify the need to, simply opting to get everyone to submit their files in PDF. Your customer research is either whack, or conducted by accountants and not researchers!
Laser cutters, Vinyl Cutters, Sign Writers, Die-line creators etc... are all using Corel still! You can entirely blitz this market with Illustrator if you came up with the correct pricing here.
It is actually cheaper for me to personally travel 13.5 hours accross the pacific to the Adobe headquarters in the US and purchase a single seat of Adobe CS6 (Full), alongside Adobe Font Folio, and fly 13.5 hours home, than it is to pruchase it as a download through the Adobe store. This just highlights the truth (or lack of) behind your distribution claims)
Really and truly Dissapointed! (But only in your attitude, and not in your products.)
8. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?kysterama Apr 30, 2012 6:27 PM (in response to FlippinDesigner)
Wow, I didn't realise NZ had to pay Australian prices! That's criminally expensive. Adobe probably just sees our relatively small markets and just shrugs.
It's a real pity it's not about the customer in regional markets. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have such a massive monopoly on the creative industry, but thems the breaks.

10. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Corwin370 May 22, 2012 5:05 AM (in response to Incroyal)
They do this because they can. They can because consumers too dumb, too ignorant or to lazy to challange this (with minor exceptions).
As David said, it all depends on the market condition and other factors. (ie consumers ability to pay/tollorate higher price).
The only real way to fight this is to boycott against companies that inforce region based pricing. But you need majority of usres to do this in order to get noticed and even more to get a faivorable responce. Othereise you just get a copy/paste responce from someone like David (if you luky and the comany you complain about puts an effort on comsumer expectations and relationsship management).
11. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?FlippinDesigner May 23, 2012 5:29 PM (in response to Corwin370)
Well they do it because they "think they can get away with it"
I believe they would find that with even pricing, people would do one of the following (which will work in their favour)
1) Purchase upgrades more regularly
2) Purchase more licenses
3) Purchase larger or more complete packages. i.e. Premium instead of Standard
4) Purchase other software or accompanying things, such as the font folio.
I've known many companies who really keep it to the bare essentials and would love to go for the big kahuna package. We personally make do with fonts that are bundled, alongside free fonts from the web. for us (Industrial Designers, not graphic designers) this is ok, but I truly would love to grab the font folio! The truth is, I simply won't until the prices are the same as the US prices, plus a reasonable transaction/currency conversion fee.
Instead we buy other software to give us benefits in other areas, such as Alias Sketchbook (no super-crazy markup), or Alias Designer etc...
So Adobe is 'not' getting away with it, they simply think they are.
If an Adobe Sales rep wishes to make a sale, Give me a call, and i will gladly pay the exact US price for Font Folio, If you don't want a sale, keep pretending!
12. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?kysterama May 23, 2012 5:35 PM (in response to FlippinDesigner)
Exactly! I'd upgrade my production premium suite to CS6 in a minute if it was the US price. As it stands though, Adobe is not getting the sale, nor will it at double the price.
Must be thousands of lost sales because of this policy.

13. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?jacograaff May 23, 2012 9:16 PM (in response to David__B)
I do not need to meet local reseller, or recieve training through local resellers. I have been using Adobe since 1992 and my experience level is far higher than any sales-person can offer. There is absolutely no benefit in inflated local reseller pricing. I am tired of copping out the extra $$$ no matter where in the world I work from, just to support local slaes-people that adds absolutely no value to the product. The price difference companies like Adobe and Autodesk charges depending on where in the worl you work makes it difficult in countries that do not have the strenght of the US economy.
Why do you penalise me. I can understand if there is a different because of tax and import duties - I do not mind for those costs to be openly reflected. Why do I have to fork out your redistribution costs while US citizens get's the benefit of the same software with the same features at a reduced cost.
In the last 20 years I have had absolutely no benefit from any reseller. I have worked at 8 different employer and each time the motivation behind buying Adobe, Autodesk, etc... software came down to me. I had absolutely no need for a local reseller - or "support" of less-skilled sales-people.
This issue puts me in a love-hate relationship with Adobe. I love the software your developers and Designers create, and appreciate their passion - but disagree with the "suits". It also influences my loyalty to your company. In some cases I have opted out of purchasing the Adobe solutions and rather suggested alternative for clients (e.g. Corel, Xara).
You have killed of Freehand and forced me to use Illustrator (thanks I finally got mulit-page support only 4 years back - something I could do in Freehand in 1995) - and Director (flash finally caught up and became what Director could have been - e.g. real-time 3d engine, and now you are killing that of as well).
I am getting impatient with Adobe...
14. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Friiskiwi May 23, 2012 9:51 PM (in response to jacograaff)
I so agree, and if you think you are hard done by, look what we have to pay in New Zealand for an upgrade.
Great price variations from different Adode sites.
Australia $309 Aus = $309.00 US
New Zealand $755 NZ =$510.00 US
This is plain stupid as I'm talking download. I can't even rembember how long ago I bought my first Photoshop, but this is the first time, I have seriously considered not to upgrade. I love Photoshop, but between Lightroom and CS5 I can probably survive a few years.
15. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?jacograaff May 23, 2012 10:23 PM (in response to Friiskiwi)
I just went through the webstore - it accidently took me through the US store - I wanted to upgrade my Master Collection CS5.5 (the x..th company I have worked for where I influenced the purchase of Adobe, Autodesk, etc..)
The US price was $525 = AU$535 with current exchange (let's add 10% tax = AUD$590)
The AUS price was $799 (BEFORE TAX) - add 10% = AUD$880
thats a 33% hike on price
I think it is time to switch to Nuke instead of After-Effects
Sony Vegas for Premiere (I already use Vegas quite a bit and love the quick transition function, great sound support, etc...
Xara for Illustrator
Photoshop is still a problem - since I have been using it since 1992 - I love the software - I have respect for the individual Designers and Developers working on the software - but I have no respect anymore for the Adobe brand. I have been testing aternatives for cartooning and sketching - like Sketchbook and Artrage - For photo-mnipulation there is no equal - any suggestions - Maybe time to look at the Photoshop-clone of Gimp - gimpshop - at the end of the day it is my skill and not the tool...
I'll have to use both Alias sketchbook or painter - and maybe combine with Gimp...
Dreamweaver??- I have not used it in the last 5 years because no benefit - buggy css support - bloated code (rather code own functions in jquery) - I rather use a code editor - jedit, testing my css live in firefox and chrome with developer tools to get real feedback of css
I love flex and flash - I do use the wysiwyg quite a bit - but now adobe is killing it of anyway.... I have the same sinking feeling I had about Director when Adobe tried to sink Macromedia through expensive lawsuits (Director's funding dissapeared) In 1996 I had such high hopes for Macromedia X-Res as an alternative to photoshop
Let's name alternatives....
16. Re: Australian CS6 subscription pricing 25% more than the US?Pu Koh Jul 26, 2012 10:39 PM (in response to David__B)
There is no cost to you for me to download a file from a server (that is most likely not in australia).
if adobe has to add 25% to cover operational costs, than it's adobe's business model that needs modifying, not our retail price.

Miller sore, but expected to play vs. Penn State
- Written by MATT HAMMOND
Buckeye Nation took a collective deep breath as star quarterback Braxton Miller gingerly got into a golf cart and was taken to the locker room after a hard hit Saturday against Purdue.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller looks for running room Saturday against Purdue. Miller was later knocked out of the game on a hard hit, but is expected to play this week against Penn State. (EXAMINER PHOTO | RICK REED)
Head coach Urban Meyer was not an exception. He was asked Monday if he saw the season flash before his eyes when Miller went down.
"Sure," he said.
Meyer and Ohio State fans are breathing easier now after Miller was checked out by doctors and cleared of any serious injuries. He was expected to practice today and be back leading the team at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Penn State (ABC).
"After the game I went over to see him, along with our strength coach, and then (offensive coordinator) Tom Herman stopped by afterward," said Meyer. "All the test results came back. I guess the term is negative, which is positive. He's very sore, sore neck, and we expect him to practice (today)."

Dayton loses state title to Rainier
CORVALLIS — The Dayton Pirates lost 9-3 to the Rainier Columbians in Friday's 3A state championship game on the campus of Oregon State University.
The Pirates (24-4) began the afternoon by putting the pressure on the Columbians (27-3) by taking a quick 2-0 lead despite a large and vocally dominant Rainier crowd.
Dayton's youth became exposed in the later innings. It committed five total errors, which resulted in five late Columbian runs.
"We got good experience," Dayton coach Rob Umbenhower said. "We're happy to be here. You're looking at sophomores, freshmen and juniors, one senior. We'll be back."
Umbenhower said he tried to turn the heartbreaking loss into a positive for his team.
"How many teams are at home looking and wishing they could be here?" Umbenhower said. "No one wants to be on this side, but at the beginning everyone wants to be here."
In the early going it was the Pirates who looked to be too much for Rainier. Sydney Van Noy led off the bottom of the first inning with a single, moved to second on a wild pitch, stole third and the throw to try to pick her off at third went wide, allowing her to score for the 1-0 lead.
Van Noy led off the third inning with a double, moved to third on a bunt by Cooper Ringnalda and Cassi Hill hit into a fielder's choice to score Van Noy for the 2-0 lead.
"With the people we have and the talent we have coming in, we'll come back stronger than ever," an emotional Van Noy said. "We decided right now, after the game, that we're going to be right back here next year."
Rainier tied the game at two in the fourth inning on an error and a sacrifice RBI from Hydee Coffman. The Columbians got the go-ahead runs on a two RBI single by Sarah Probasco in the fifth inning for the 4-2 lead.
Dayton narrowed the gap in the bottom of the fifth inning. Teddi Hop led the inning off with an infield single and Van Noy followed that with a fielder's choice that got Hop out at third, but the out allowed Van Noy to reach second.
Ringnalda hit a single back up the middle to score Van Noy to cut the Rainier lead to 4-3. The errors for the Pirates began to accumulate in the sixth inning. Two infield errors allowed five Columbian base runners to cross home plate to cushion Rainier's lead to 9-3.
Rainier senior pitcher Kylee Crape struck out 11 Pirate hitters, allowed seven hits and no walks in the win. Dayton's lone senior starter, Jamie Chenea, took the loss in her final game in a Dayton uniform. Chenea struck out four Columbian hitters, allowed 10 hits and two walks.
"We're young, we'll be back," Umbenhower said. "I've only got one senior that's played the whole season that started. The other two seniors on the roster were out most of the season for medical reasons. We're young. We'll be back."
As an equally young team last season, the Pirates surpassed expectations placed on their youth by making the 3A state semifinals. Dayton lost 10-5 in the semifinals vs. Blanchet Catholic.
With its appearance in the 2013 3A state championship game, the Pirates were in the state championship game for the fourth time in school history and first since 2005.
