Checking in on… the Mountain WestPosted by jstevrtc on February 26th, 2010
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West Conference.
Standings (as of 2/18):
- New Mexico 26-3 12-2
- San Diego State 20-8 9-5
- Colorado State 15-12 6-7
- Utah 13-14 6-7
- Wyoming 9-18 2-11
- Air Force 9-17 1-12
Team of the Week. UNLV. The Rebels get the nod here (although it could just have easily been BYU) on the basis of two absolute blowout wins over lesser MWC teams. The Rebels never trailed in drilling Colorado State by 31 on Saturday, and then led TCU by as much as 31 in the 2nd half on Wednesday before calling off the hounds and prevailing by just 16. Vegas is back on track and while the regular season conference title went away a long time ago, they still get to play the conference tournament in their own gym.
Player of the Week. Jimmer Fredette, Jr, BYU. Fredette averaged 24.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 4.5 APG in leading his Cougars to a couple wins this week on the way to setting up the MWC game of the year with New Mexico on Saturday. Fredette has averaged over 28 PPG over the last three games and 21.7 PPG over the season and has positioned himself as the likely leader in the MWC Player of the Year race (although New Mexico's Darington Hobson may still have something to say about that) and even deserving of mention in the national POTY discussion.
Newcomer of the Week. Marshall Henderson, Fr, Utah. Henderson has been on a tear of late, having hit double figures in his last 11 games and averaging 15.9 PPG over that stretch. This week Henderson averaged 14 PPG, had four threes in a tight loss to San Diego State and led his Utes with 16 in a win over Air Force on Wednesday.
Game of the Week. New Mexico 59 Air Force 56. On the Lobos' way to the game of the season, they seemed to have a tidy little week ahead of them, but the Falcons disabused them of that notion right quick. Air Force shot 51% from the field (including 58% in the second half) and took a 56-55 lead on a layup by senior forward Grant Parker with 27 seconds left in the game. But, the Lobos kept their poise and were able to escape by the slimmest of margins when Hobson got a putback 10 seconds later to regain the lead, and after a strong defensive possession, junior guard Dairese Gary sealed the deal with a couple free throws to reach the final margin.
Game of the Upcoming Week. New Mexico @ BYU, Versus TV, February 27th. I suppose this one just edges out Air Force at Wyoming next Tuesday, but this might be a pretty decent game itself, as the Lobos head into Provo for the game that in all likelihood will determine the regular season champion. The first matchup in Albuquerque in late January was a fiery battle, with BYU taking their first lead of the game under three minutes on a deep Fredette three before the Lobos rallied at the finish to salvage a four-point victory. But the Lobos will be missing a key component that was present in that victory: their home crowd. It's quite possible that will be the difference here, because although both teams will take different approaches (BYU's strengths lie in shooting and taking care of the ball and being very efficient on both ends of the court, while New Mexico tries to make its hay with its athleticism allowing it to pound the glass and get to the line), they do seem to be very evenly matched. My pick: BYU 76, New Mexico 70, with Fredette and Hobson leading the charge for each team.
League Notes:
By this point in the season, just about everything is squared away. The BYU/New Mexico game on Saturday will decide the regular season champion (so long as both teams can take care of business on the hind end of their schedule). San Diego State and UNLV seem poised to take third and fourth place, respectively, and each has a legitimate claim on an at-large NCAA berth (although admittedly SDSU's claim is much more tenuous). Utah and Colorado State have claimed the middle ground as their own and both teams are capable of springing an upset in the MWC tournament, with TCU, Wyoming and Air Force playing out the schedule with varying degrees of effort — Air Force is still plugging along, Wyoming is more or less already a month into the offseason, and TCU is still managing to show up once in a while.
Now the MWC Tournament looms, and it will be very interesting, especially if all four favorites advance to the semifinal round. The Aztecs will be the team that needs the conference's automatic bid the most to solidify their tournament hopes, but the competition will be fierce with the two top seeds and veritable home team, the Rebels.
Team Roundups:
New Mexico
Looking back: What looked like a bit of a quiet week for New Mexico produced a couple of down-to-the-wire nailbiters for the conference leader. First, they needed an offensive rebound from Hobson with less than 20 seconds left to put away last-place Air Force. Then, they got all they could handle at Moby Arena against Colorado State, but were able to dodge junior guard Adam Nigon's six threes and sneak away with a six-point win. Once again, it was New Mexico's ability to control the glass (the Lobos outrebounded CSU 44-32 – senior forward Roman Martinez had 12 boards and Hobson added 10 more) and to get to the free throw line (UNM was 18/23 from the FT line in the second half alone) that was the difference in giving Steve Alford's squad their twelfth straight conference victory, tying a MWC record.
Looking ahead: This is it for the Lobo regular season. After the big game in Provo on Saturday, the Lobos return to the Pit to host TCU and to say goodbye to Martinez, their lone scholarship senior.
Looking back: BYU did their part to set up the battle for the title this week by visiting Laramie and controlling the reeling Cowboys from start to finish. The Cougars never trailed, forced 12 turnovers and outrebounded Wyoming by 12 as they coasted to a 22-point win. The next game was a bit tougher as they returned home to host San Diego State, but behind a 9-0 run near the end of the first half and a 14-2 run in the middle of the second half, they were able to take control of the game and pull away. Perhaps the key to the game for BYU was their ability to hit the glass, and they outrebounded the conference's best rebounding team (albeit with freshman forward Kawhi Leonard – the MWC's leading rebounder – diminished by illness). The Cougars were also able to force 16 Aztec turnovers, and those turnovers coupled with BYU's 7/15 shooting from three contributed greatly to both big BYU runs.
Looking ahead: After the Lobo game this weekend, BYU has a tough bounce-back game on Wednesday at Utah, a team that has gelled into a solid team in recent weeks.
San Diego State
Looking back: The Aztecs had a lot riding on their game Wednesday night at BYU. While they have a strong RPI and a solid record, they really only have a pair of home wins over New Mexico and UNLV to show for it. A win at Provo probably would have been the big win to put them over the top. They still have an outside chance at an at-large at this point, and could add a neutral-site win over BYU or New Mexico in the MWC Semifinals which would be an excellent win, but to be on the safe side, the Aztecs are now in a position where winning the MWC tourney would be their best bet. The Leonard illness came at a most inopportune time for the Aztecs, as he was severely limited on Wednesday night. Before even the first TV timeout, he was having trouble breathing and just wasn't his normal explosive self, and was held to just three points and five rebounds, one of the major reasons SDSU was outrebounded.
The Aztecs did add another victory earlier this week when junior forward Malcolm Thomas' career-high 28 points and Leonard's 14 points and 15 boards helped them pull out a tough one at home against Utah.
Looking ahead: The Aztecs host Colorado State on Wednesday, then wrap up the season with a trip to Air Force next Saturday.
Looking back: The Rebels got back in the swing of things in a big way this week, breaking a three-game losing streak with back-to-back home routs. At this point, you have to figure the Rebels are safe for an at-large on the strengths of wins over Louisville, BYU, San Diego State and at New Mexico, but its probably not as sure of a thing as some are claiming. While Utah is coming around, those two losses don't look especially great.
But the Rebels have started to get some production out of players not named Tre'Von Willis. Junior forward Chace Stanback averaged 14 PPG this week, sophomore center Brice Massamba had five blocks against CSU and nine rebounds against TCU, and freshman guard Anthony Marshall had 12 points and ten rebounds against the Rams. The Rebels also still hope to get junior wing Derrick Jasper back from a sprained MCL suffered at the end of January, but he may not even be ready until the MWC tournament.
Looking ahead: Just a trip to Air Force for the Rebels on Saturday, then a week off before they host Wyoming the following Saturday, both games the Rebels are more than capable of winning.
Colorado State
Looking back: After a 31-point loss at UNLV on Saturday seemed to again prove that the Rams weren't capable of staying on the court with the top teams in the MWC, they turned around and gave New Mexico a good run on Tuesday. Nigon poured in his career high 23 points, but he also got help from junior forward Andy Ogide (12 points and six rebounds) and freshman guard Dorian Green (11 points and six assists). The Rams have now lost three straight, and will need to finish their remaining schedule with a couple of wins in order to improve their chances of an NIT bid.
Looking ahead: The Rams still have one very tough remaining game, when they travel to San Diego State next Wednesday, but have very winnable games sandwiched around that: at TCU on Saturday and home against Utah (in what will likely be the battle for 5th place in the conference) on the final Saturday of the season.
Looking back: The Utes gave San Diego State a good run on Saturday, outrebounding the conference's best rebounding team (seven Utes had at least four rebounds) and keeping things tight up to the end, although a lot of the credit for that can be given to the Aztecs and their inability to hit free throws down the stretch. In the end, they were done in by another night of poor shooting (39% from field) and ballhandling (15 turnovers), giving Utah their fifth loss in seven games. Utah got things back on track on Wednesday, however, when they held Air Force to a season-low 43 points and just 2/17 shooting from three. Utah again controlled the glass, 30-18, and this time shot well from the field — 50% both from the field and from behind the arc.
Looking ahead: The Utes host Wyoming and then BYU this week, and are lucky enough to catch the Cougars after the New Mexico game, a trap-game of which Jim Boylen hopes his club can take advantage.
Looking back: Take a quick glance at the box score for the Horned Frogs this week and you see some things you expected to see all season, like a 21 and an 11 next to senior forward Zvonko Buljan's name and a 25 next to sophomore guard Ronnie Moss' name. But then you get to the turnover column and see twos, threes, and fours next to everybody's name on the entire roster, and you get why TCU was down by as many as 31 in the second half at UNLV. In the end, the Frogs wound up with 21 turnovers, and despite those gaudy numbers in Moss and Buljan's scoring columns, they were never really in this game.
Looking ahead: The Frogs host Colorado State on Saturday, then travel to New Mexico on Wednesday.
Looking back: You gotta give the Cowboys this much credit: when you saw BYU looming on the schedule a week or so ago, you probably figured the final margin would have been higher than 22. But freshman guard Desmar Jackson is still fighting and he poured in a career-high 26 points highlighted by four threes in his attempt to keep his team in the game. Jackson has been one of the very few bright spots in Laramie this season. He has averaged 12.2 PPG in conference play thus far and led the Cowboys in scoring in four out of the nine games since sophomore forward Afam Muojeke went down for the season with a knee injury.
Looking ahead: Wyoming travels to Utah on Saturday, then hosts Air Force in a battle for eighth place on Tuesday.
Air Force
Looking back: As we said in this space last week, while other teams at the back of the pack are now phoning it in, the Falcons are going down fighting. While their deliberate style and pack-it-in defense certainly allows them to keep games close, they almost stole a game they had no business being in against New Mexico on Saturday. They followed that up by fighting it out against Utah, but their inability to hit shots (just 2/17 from three) killed them.
Looking ahead: The Falcons could get out of the cellar (or at least get some company in the cellar) with a win at Wyoming on Wednesday, but they'll also have a another chance at one of the big boys when they host UNLV on Saturday.

Movie review: Hyde Park on Hudson
Everyone knows Homer. But Menander is another story.
Though incredibly popular in his own age for his string of comedies, Menander never made it past the clutter of history because comedy is of the moment, but tragedy is forever.
That's why Bill Murray will be eclipsed this Oscar season by Daniel Day's Lewis's long Presidential shadow. However, that doesn't mean Murray's portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt isn't worthy of the same praise.
Murray brings a fiery spark to Roger Michell's gassy mixture of history, biopic and boudoir confessions in Hyde Park on Hudson, a movie that dares undress one of America's most beloved leaders.
Based on the posthumously published diaries of a distant cousin, we're introduced to FDR at the height of his political and personal charms, having instituted the New Deal and pulling the nation from the depths of the Great Depression with his buoyant attitude and shining faith in the face of overwhelming odds.
It's 1939, and as Hitler builds his war machine, Britain looks across the Atlantic for help from a potentially powerful ally.
The newly crowned King George and the woman who would be called "The Queen Mum" call on the President for help, but FDR needs assistance of his own.
He needs to be carried physically from room to room so he's never seen in a wheelchair, and he needs to be carried emotionally by a strong, nurturing, female force – who is not his wife, Eleanor (Olivia Williams).
Gasp! The President of the United States was having an affair while in office!
This movie gives us the whole juicy story with tell-all detail. That said, gossip and infidelity looked a lot different than it does now – if not in deed, than certainly in public perception, because there was no perception.
Back in the days before cellphone cameras and digital zoom lenses with auto-stabilizers, the public was largely in the dark about the private, everyday existence of its elected leaders. Moreover, dalliances weren't considered a significant problem because back before the Internet and TV, the most popular form of entertainment was sex.
Indeed, it's a whole other reality, which is one of the central reasons why Hyde Park on Hudson succeeds as an experience: We feel we've entered a different time, where time itself seems to tick in different measure.
This may sound like a benevolent way to express a somewhat sluggish pace, but the movie is never dull and never feels "slow." It just doesn't have a particular destination in mind, so there are moments where we wonder just what point Michell is trying to make – if any.
Is this just a curious string of events and a quasi-scandalous premise painted on top of a pretty New England postcard from the past? Or is the director of Changing Lanes and Notting Hill trying to articulate a particular idea?
Impossible to say with any certainty because even though this is a movie about an American President at a volatile time, Hyde Park on Hudson feels entirely apolitical. It may as well be Exotic Marigold Mansion, because this is a character-focused piece at every turn.
Breaking the political reality down to the personal narratives in play, Michell gives us a series of rather entertaining scenes, from watching the president seduce his distant relative with a stamp book to a picnic for the King and Queen featuring hot dogs, Michell's selection tends towards rom-com sensibilities.
That said, this is a movie starring Bill Murray as FDR and Laura Linney as his mistress/cousin; there's no way it could be formulaic, or for that matter, all that romantic.
We are spared the sex scenes. But we do get all kinds of engagement, which ensure any hint of ordinary flies out the window as we negotiate the whole scenario from a modern perspective.
It all feels so curiously out-of-whack for some reason, watching Linney and Murray have suggested hand-hanky-panky in a gorgeous old American convertible on the rolling fields of Hyde Park, N.Y.
Yet, if you can get past the truly awkward moments and minor embarrassments, the movie packs its own strange pleasures, and most of them come care of Murray, who truly brings FDR to life in all the right ways.
Finding the perfect balance between arrogance and avuncular warmth, kindness and crafty creepiness, Murray animates the core of the political animal from the inside out. With every knowing wink and relaxed folksy moment, we see a person who can make others believe, which isn't just the heart of politics – it's the very purpose of acting.
Murray seems to grasp the parallels without a whisper of visible self-awareness, but his confidence in the role allows him to touch on every shade of Bill Murray shtick without cheapening the performance or compromising the biographical homage.
He releases his comic twinkle, and in a rather odd way, it lends him a presidential air of cockiness veiled in God-fearing humility. Think Bill Clinton in a wheelchair, complete with brilliant and outspoken wife, and you get a sense of how they play it out.
The movie has no big emotional payoff, but there's entertainment value in the pop and fizzle as the fireworks of American mythology explode in a night sky from another era.

By ROBBIE NEISWANGER
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Hunter Mickelson suffered through a disappointing performance in the 88-80 two-overtime win against Auburn.
The 6-foot-10 sophomore scored 2 points on 1 of 5 shooting. He grabbed 2 rebounds and only played 12 minutes, leaving the court after some second-half struggles.
But when Mike Anderson called Mickelson up to his office Thursday, the Arkansas coach had a simple message for the sophomore. Forget it. Move on.
"That was just one of those bad nights," Anderson said. "That was one of those nights where anything you tried to do, it just didn't happen. So he's got to have short-term memory and get back in practice and come with it."
Arkansas (11-5, 2-1 in Southeastern Conference) needs Mickelson to erase the frustration as it prepares for an even bigger test at Ole Miss (14-2, 3-0) on Saturday.
The Razorbacks' biggest player will be needed to battle against a talented Ole Miss frontcourt, which includes forwards Reginald Buckner and Murphy Holloway. The veterans have enjoyed some big performances against the Razorbacks during their careers and will be looking for one more in Oxford, Miss.
So Anderson said Mickelson, who is averaging 7.1 points and 4.3 rebounds a game, will be vital to making sure Arkansas has a chance to compete against them.
"He's a guy with size that we do have, and when Hunter's right, he's a tough matchup," Anderson said. "But he's got to play with that aggressiveness and he's got to play with the physicality that's taking place in games.
"Guys are going to come at him and he's got to be able to counter that."
It's not clear if Mickelson will get his opportunity in the starting lineup or off the bench Saturday. He has started every game this season, but Anderson was impressed with junior college transfer Coty Clarke's performance in the Auburn win.
Clarke tallied 9 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocked shots in 38 minutes off the bench. He gave the Hogs a much-needed spark after Mickelson sat down.
"He deserved those minutes and he's wanted those minutes because I thought he brought energy," Anderson said. "I thought (Wednesday) night we saw him probably play one of his better games and it was very needed. We'll see him out there for longer durations, and possibly in closing the game. It was nice to see him play well."
But Anderson said the Razorbacks aren't giving up on Mickelson as they prepare for the road trip to Ole Miss. They're just hoping he'll be much more effective against the Rebels' talented frontcourt after struggling against Auburn.
"We're going to need him to play," Anderson said. "He's got to play."
Overtime History
Arkansas' double-overtime win against Auburn was a pretty rare feat.
The Razorbacks have only played nine games that lasted two overtimes or more in school history, according to the basketball media guide. It was the first in Bud Walton Arena and against an SEC foe. It also was the first double overtime game since 1987, when the Razorbacks beat Texas A&M 100-97 in College Station, Texas.
Anderson was an assistant on former coach Nolan Richardson's staff for the 1987 game, but said he didn't remember any details of the win. But he knows Arkansas faces a challenge in trying to recover and travel to play at Ole Miss on Saturday.
"It's going to be a quick turnaround," Anderson said.
The longest game in school history was a three-overtime loss to Houston during the 1979-80 season. Arkansas is 6-3 in games that went two overtimes or more. They are 3-5 the game after playing two overtimes or more.
Fresh Bodies
Arkansas played its longest game of the season against Auburn. But the Razorbacks' bench also was at its shortest with three players — freshmen Jacorey Williams, Anthlon Bell and Dee Wagner — watching all 50 minutes from the sideline.
Anderson said it was his decision to shorten the bench for the Auburn game, but said it's not necessarily an indication all three will see little time the rest of the year.
"You're playing to win and you've got to go with the guys that are playing well, guys that are into the rhythm," Anderson said. "You have to shorten your bench at times. There will be times where those guys will play, but I thought (Wednesday night) it was critical for us to have a group out there that could give us that blue collar that we talk about. The blue collar work ethic."
Impressive Stat
Anderson was impressed with one statistic in particular after the Auburn win.
Arkansas only turned the ball over eight times in 50 minutes.
He was asked who played the biggest hand in the ball security success and said it was a group effort. Only two players — Marshawn Powell (3 turnovers) and BJ Young (4) — turned the ball over against the Tigers on Wednesday.
"When you play up-tempo basketball, you know you're going to have some turnovers," Anderson said. "So, I thought that was a big key. … That tells me we did a good job of taking care of the ball and sharing the basketball."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sprint Nextel said on Monday that its board had formed a special committee of independent directors to review Dish Network's $25.5 billion takeover bid for the No. 3 U.S. mobile provider.
Sprint had said last week that it would evaluate the Dish offer, which challenges Sprint's October agreement to sell 70 percent of its shares to Japan's SoftBank Corp for $20.1 billion.
The committee, which will be chaired by director Larry Glasscock, hired BofA Merrill Lynch as its financial adviser and Shearman & Sterling LLP a its legal counsel.
Other Sprint special committee members include James Hance, V. Janet Hill, William Nuti and Rodney O' Neal.
Sprint's shares were up a penny at $7.18 on the New York Stock Exchange in morning trading. Dish shares gained 53 cents, or about 1.2 percent, to $39.54 on Nasdaq.

Beyonce Plans to Release Soul Food Cookbook
Looking for a few new ideas in the kitchen? Soon, you might be able to pick up some tips from Beyoncé.
Britain's Daily Mirror reports that the pop megastar, apparently inspired by her friend Gwyneth Paltrow's recently released cookbook, has started making plans to publish one of her own — with a soul food twist.
According to a source who spoke to the paper, "[Beyoncé's] mom, Tina, started the tradition whereby anywhere in the world they are, she always puts on a soul food spread of collard greens, cornbread, mac 'n' cheese and fried chicken. Bey would love to include these family recipes in a book."
It's a bit of a brave step for someone who once referred to herself as "a disaster in the kitchen," but hey — if Sheryl Crow can release a cookbook, why not Beyoncé?

Bill would allow first-time DWI offenders to get restricted license
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
— First-time drunk driving offenders would be allowed to drive to and from work and treatment and for medical care under a bill a House committee voted to approve Wednesday.
The House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee voted 16-1 to establish a restricted license for first-time, drunk-driving offenders after they have had their license suspended for 14 days.
Under House Bill 496, an offender could petition the court for a limited license that would allow him or her to drive to work and back, to look for work, to attend substance abuse treatment programs and for medical emergencies for family members.
The license would also limit the time and days a person could drive and would cost $50.
To participate in the program, a driver would have to pay for an ignition interlock device that prevents a vehicle from starting if the person has alcohol on his or her breath.
Former police officer Rep. Delmar Burridge, D-Keene, noted that a first-time offender really means it is the first-time he or she has been caught and the person has driven drunk many times before.
But Rep. Gene Charron, R-Chester, said he had a friend who was convicted of driving while intoxicated who told him, "they want me to go to counseling, but I have no way to get there."
The bill will be voted on during the first three session days of the 2014 Legislature.

In an effort to facilitate better decision-making, GROWMARK and John Deere are collaborating to deliver near real-time field level data to producers and FS Crop Specialists. The companies are linking FS Advanced Information Services (FS AIS), a suite of precision agronomy software, with John Deere Wireless Data Transfer, JDLink and MyJohnDeere.
GROWMARK is among the first agricultural retailers to leverage the Wireless Data Transfer Application Programming Interface (API) for its precision agronomy decision support software, making data exchange faster and more useful for growers and its FS company staff. This enables the crop specialists to work closely with their customers to make important management decisions, incorporating the latest field data.
Ron Milby, GROWMARK executive director, Agronomy Marketing, said the GROWMARK Agronomy mission is to help producers focus on improving yields and productivity. "Through this collaboration with John Deere and our software partner, AgIntegrated, Inc., we are making it easier for our crop specialists to work with their farmers using near real time data." "The open platform John Deere provides enables farmers and FS company staff to use the FS AIS software to make decisions in near real time – that's a win-win."
"The collaboration with GROWMARK is a prime example of John Deere working with our customers' trusted advisors," said Pat Pinkston, Vice President of Technology and Information Solutions, John Deere. "John Deere is committed to increasing customer success by enabling data to be available when and where needed. This integration between FS AIS and MyJohnDeere.com makes it easier for customers to connect with their trusted advisors."
Producers will utilize an efficient and secure interface between FS AIS and MyJohnDeere, taking advantage of both Companies' commitment to supporting better decisions through improved data integration at the field level. This includes the ability to easily transfer work instructions, prescriptions, and product lists to the GreenStar 3 2630 display. Yield data, as-applied maps and work records can be transferred back to the FS AIS software. This means more accurate records, eliminates duplicate data entry and simplifies movement of the information to improve decision making, productivity and the customer's bottom line.
GROWMARK and John Deere, through this non-exclusive arrangement, plan to make the service widely available in 2014 to anyone who has been equipped by a John Deere dealer for Wireless Data Transfer and has subscribed to the FS AIS software. Each company will market their software and solutions through their existing localized distribution channels.

that trailer was crazy. i'm mad that the trailer tried to make it look like dude just fell into bed with that other dude...like they were talking about work and then suddenly, whoops we're naked. haha...I can't countenance cheating of any kind. man or woman, just call me and tell me b/f you take your clothes off so i can get the divorce papers drawn up, and have your stuff packed up to go. i think the reason the dl thing bothers women though is b/c they think they should know...or can't see why someone would lie about something thats so life changing/serious. i can understand that so i honestly don't know which would upset me more. I'd prefer not to experience either one.
If my woman was on the DL, I wouldn't have a problem with it.In fact, I'd be very, VERY supportive of her. . . . and her new friend.
YUCK! I'm so sick and tired of this downlow bullcrap! Here is a blog about the movie. http://girlgenius.typepad.com/To be quiet honest, I would be upset if I found my man cheating on me PERIOD! Cheating is cheating. However if I had to put more weight on one situation over another, I would probably be more shocked if I caugh thim with a man, but more upset with a woman. The reason I would be less upset with a man is because him being gay has nothing to do with me. Most likely he has always had these feelings. However, catching your man with another woman might make me question why he had to step out on me. Was I woman enough? Is this other woman more attractive or intelligent?

Woman who lied about rape takes plea deal
A southeast Nebraska woman accused of lying about being raped by four men has made a plea deal with prosecutors.
Jennifer Valenta, 28, of Wilber, was convicted on Wednesday. She pleaded no contest to evidence tampering, false reporting and attempted prostitution.
Prosecutors dropped charges of prostitution, perjury and obstructing government operations in exchange for her plea in Gage County District Court.
Prosecutors say Valenta lied about being raped by four men at the Big Indian Recreation Area in southern Gage County last November.
Her sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 2.

Bertucci's searches for a replacement fish
Bertucci's searches for a replacement fish
Bertucci's executive chef Jeff Tenner prepared fish samples being considered as replacements for fillets formerly used in the chain's Baked Merluzzo.
Globe-sponsored DNA testing showed the dish contained hake instead of the cod described on the restaurants' menus. Bertucci's decided to replace the hake after the Globe informed it of the DNA test results.
The box shown here describes the fish Bertucci's formerly used in its Baked Merluzzo. It was hake, not the cod listed on the menu.
Bertucci's chefs spent several weeks finding new suppliers for cod and trying out different samples of the fish.
Tenner, the executive chef, examined a cod sample being considered as a replacement for hake.
Among the fish being considered for Baked Merluzzo were a North Atlantic cod loin from Iceland and a Pacific cod fillet from Alaska.
Tenner presented all four fish – in raw and cooked versions -- to a panel of company executives for taste-testing.
Each prepared dish, carefully labeled, was wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in the 575-degree brick oven.
The tasting panel unanimously agreed that Pacific cod, from Boston's North Coast Seafoods, was the best option. It is now being used in the Baked Merluzzo dish.

Broader Universe Awaits Libraries at Colby, Bates and Bowdoin
Story posted January 03, 2007
Colby, Bates and Bowdoin colleges have received a $280,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to build a model collaborative library collection development program. The plan is to share collection resources in all formats, electronic and print, reduce unnecessary duplication and redundant purchases, and make a broader universe of materials available at each campus.
Previous grants from the Mellon Foundation to the three schools, which collectively are called "CBB," have helped build a service framework for collection sharing, enabling the libraries to develop technologies to share catalogs and support interlibrary loan activity.
The goals of the current project will bring collaboration among the three libraries to the next level. The libraries plan to determine how to expand the collection of materials available to the CBB academic communities, share budgetary and space resources so that all three libraries can operate more cost-effectively, and build a faculty culture that embraces the plan.
"It's tremendous," says Associate Professor of History Patrick Rael, clearly already on board with the concept of developing three collections which function as one. Rael says NExpress - an existing regional resource-sharing system among the CBB libraries and those of Williams, Wellesley and Northeastern - has helped his research enormously. "With the library's newest expansion, it's just becoming premier, really first-rate. I think we're very fortunate, not just as educators but as researchers."
The grant will be used over two years to hire two temporary librarians who will enable current staff to devote time to the project.
"We need the time," says Bowdoin College Librarian Sherrie Bergman. "We need the project work to be conducted by librarians who have established collegial relations with faculty members and who are knowledgeable about the research and curricular needs of our faculty and students."
The CBB librarians are identifying areas of historical curricular and collection strength for each school and each college. Four pilot curricular areas are being selected to begin the project, which ultimately will span all disciplinary areas and all subject areas of the collections. The pilot areas will be among those that are taught at all three schools, place budgetary pressures on their respective libraries, and are interdisciplinary in nature.
The libraries are using two software tools to analyze areas of collection strength and overlap, measured against current and projected curricular needs. The tools offer collection comparisons on such parameters as collection age, format and past circulation. The resultant data analyses will support development of new approaches to collection development, weeding, cancellation, print archiving, and preservation activities.
The libraries will be working in new ways with vendors for the acquisition of new materials. They will develop joint monographic approval plans with the goal of acquiring a larger number of unique book titles, and test new models for the development of shared journal and electronic book collections.
Because collection-building strategies differ among the disciplines, librarians will consult closely with academic departments and individual faculty members on the three campuses. They will discuss curricular concentrations and collection strengths, overlaps and gaps to achieve increased collection breadth at each school. Space limitations at each library make it logical also to consider cooperative de-accessioning, print archiving and off-site storage agreements.
Professor Thomas Conlan, Program Director of Asian Studies at Bowdoin, notes that the books his department orders are typically very expensive, and says sharing them lets each library focus on areas of expertise.
"It makes all three libraries more than what they are," says Conlan. "The synergy is great."
In the second year of the grant, the model book approval plan will be extended to all appropriate subject areas, and the libraries will write a joint collection management document that presents the strategic vision for a shared collection plan. They also will review benchmark data to measure the success of the new model plan to bring more unique materials to each school.
Project librarians say the enthusiasm and high satisfaction with resource sharing among faculty and students are what make the collaboration possible. Results of the project will be widely disseminated among the library community with the hope that the CBB partnership can serve as a model for other library collaborations.

Thread: how is RDBMS support?
Sep 23, 2005, 11:24 #1
how is RDBMS support?
I briefly looked into Ruby and Rails a bit back, but as I recall there only seemed to be active development and support for bindings for MySQL, PostgreSQL or ODBC connections.
For me, it is critical to have support for enterprise RDBMS systems, like Sybase ASE, Oracle 8/9/10, and MS SQL.
Are there any plans to support these types of databases, or am I missing something? I did see bindings for Oracle 7 once, but development seemed dead.
I certainly don't want to be forced to use an ODBC connection. I really prefer native support.
Sep 23, 2005, 11:41 #2
Rails can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, DB2, and Oracle 8 and 9, and more that I'm not going to go through the trouble of finding links for (hint: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/ has the answers to all these questions, as evidenced by my links).
I'd also like to know why you think PostgreSQL isn't an "enterprise system". Businesses (i.e. enterprises) use it right?

Sybase and Firebird are coming.
Also, I believe that to be considered Rails supported, there would need to be complete Active Record support. Ditch Active Record (undesirable, true) and there are many more databases supported by Ruby, which you can use via alternate models. I've seen documents that suggest this to be accurate, but I haven't found an authoritative page on Ruby database support so I'm not sure of the extent this is true for dbms x, y, or z.Using your unpaid time to add free content to SitePoint Pty Ltd's portfolio?

Warden Service Plane Lands on Interstate
The Turnpike Authority reports that a small Maine Warden Service plane made an emergency landing on the Maine Turnpike today near Litchfield. Initial reports stated that the plane had run out of fuel, but the Warden's Service says a mechanical problem on the plane caused it to lose power.
Twitter posts from the Maine Turnpike Authority say the plane set down near mile 95 in the northbound lanes of the highway, near the Litchfield traffic plaza. Authorities say traffic was never in danger.
The pilot, Dan Dufault was able to nurse the plane into the abandoned rest area to get it out of traffic. Warden Service Chief Pilot Durward Humphrey was called to the scene and he was able to restore power to the plane.
Traffic was stopped in the northbound lane while the plane took off again and was flown to Augusta for inspection. There was one passenger, along with the pilot. Biologist Charlie Todd was flying from Belfast to Lewiston-Auburn to study eagles. No one was hurt in the emergency landing. Nice job on the part of the pilot putting that plane down safely!

Fake Craigslist ad brings men to woman's home
Fake Craigslist ad brings men to woman's home
OCALA, Fla. —
Four men showed up at an unsuspecting woman's home asking for sex after someone posted a Craigslist ad with her address, police said.
Police were called to the home near Silver Springs Shores at about 4:20 p.m. Saturday.
The woman told police that three men showed up to her door after someone posted the ad claiming she'd perform sexual acts and used her Facebook picture.
While an officer was in the area investigating, another man showed up at the house responding to the ad.
The ad has been deleted from Craigslist.
The victim believes the person who created the ad was previously involved in a dispute with a friend of the family.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes division is investigating.

Erin McClure's father, Gary "Rock" McClure, a 1973 ECU graduate, died of a brain tumor in May 2001. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma when she was a high school senior. She watched her healthy, vibrant father slowly lose his battle with the disease.
"I think that experience will make me a better health care provider," said McClure, a graduate student in the physician assistant studies program in ECU's College of Allied Health Sciences. "Because of that, I'll have a better understanding of what people go through during difficult times."
"What gets me through more than anything else is that I've made commitments I want to live up to," McClure said. "I want to prove to myself that I can do it."
McClure's fundraising goal is $1,000 for the American Brain Tumor Association. She will collect donations through Nov. 14. For more information, go to http://www.active.com/donate/abta2008/myrock.
Coton's fundraising goal is $1,500. She is close to reaching her goal. For more information, go to http://www.firstgiving.com/angelacoton.
McClure is a regular runner but has never run in a marathon. To prepare,McClure and Cotonhave followed a weekly training schedule that varied from three-mile to 16-mile runs and cross training with swimming or riding a bike. They increased their mileage by 20 percent each week, building up to a 20-mile run a couple of weeks ago.
(Editor's note: McClure's timewas 5 hours, 31 minutes and Coton's time was 5 hours, 42 minutes. They raised more than $2,500.)

After collaborating on the concept album Emergency Songs, Monk Turner + Fascinoma weren't sure is they would ever work together again. "I almost killed him a few times," Fascinoma told us. Monk explains that when they collaborate she's the John Lennon and he's the Paul McCartney. She brings a certain kind of melancholy, and he brings a pop sensibility. You can hear how these different styles compliment each other in their winning song. "It's Your Birthday!" captures a feeling of heartfelt well-wishing with a sound so polished you'll want to run out and buy a tablet computer.
Though the winning song lacks the opportunity to shout out the birthday person's name, there is room to build in a call and response element. You can download the sheet music in the key of B (pdf, google doc) or the key of C (pdf, google doc). Also, check out the alternative versions of the song including two piano tracks and an instrumental version.

Pac-12 Morning Five: 03.28.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on March 28th, 2012
- Despite all the struggles that the Pac-12 went through this season, the conference came into Tuesday night with the most teams of any conference in the nation still playing basketball. Unfortunately, none of those teams were in the NCAA Tournament, with two in the NIT and one in the CBI. And, the results last night trimmed the number of Pac-12 teams to just two. Stanford is among those two, as it took care of business in the matinee at Madison Square Garden, knocking off Massachusetts 74-64 behind 13 second-half points from sophomore wing Anthony Brown, part of his game-high 18. However, in the nightcap, Washington fell in overtime to Minnesota, nixing the chances of an all-Pac-12 final. Terrence Ross led the Huskies with 21 points, but now UW fans have to hold their collective breath as they wait to see if he and/or freshman Tony Wroten will enter their names into the NBA Draft, as expected. The Gophers move on to face the Cardinal for the NIT title on Thursday night.
- While Pac-12 teams are shut out of this weekend's Final Four in New Orleans, there is some representation in the weekend's festivities, as Oregon's Devoe Joseph and California's Jorge Gutierrez will both play in the Reese's Division I College All-Star game on Friday. Meanwhile, Duck fans will also be able to root for Olu Ashaolu in the State Farm Slam Dunk content, on Thursday night.
- Despite a difficult season but as we expected all along, there does not appear to be any forthcoming changes in the head coaching positions at any of the Pac-12 schools. Still, every time a new position opens up, certain Pac-12 coaches are mentioned in connection with those jobs. Dana Altman's name was floated in relation to the Nebraska job, Johnny Dawkins has been suggested as a possibility at Illinois, as has Lorenzo Romar, and now Tad Boyle is rumored to be a possibility at Kansas State. Luckily, most fan bases around the conference can see right through these rumors. The Husky Haul takes umbrage at the idea that Romar's name gets mentioned seemingly every time any other big position comes open. And likewise, The Ralphie Report laughs off the notion that Boyle is going to walk out on a young and talented Colorado team with a bright future. While either of those guys may leave their respective institutions at some point in the future, Illinois and Kansas State are not going to be the places to steal them away.
- There is a possibility, however, that there could be some shakeup on the Colorado bench. In the wake of Tim Miles' move to Nebraska, Colorado State is in search of its next head coach. Assistants Jean Prioleau and Mike Rohn could each be considered by CSU for its open position, and while Boyle is in no hurry to see either one of them go, he would "love for them to get an opportunity." There has been a lot of talk about Weber State head coach Randy Rahe landing at CSU, but until the coaching carousel stops spinning, either of Boyle's main men could be candidates elsewhere.
- Lastly, we'll wrap up a Colorado-heavy Morning Five by pointing you to The Ralphie Report's third part of its look ahead to next year's Buffalo team. This part focuses on the six newcomers to the program, making up a Top 25 recruiting class for Boyle. The argument begins as to who is the most anticipated of these newcomers; is it Josh Scott, the 2012 player of the year in Colorado, or maybe Xavier Johnson, another southern California kid stolen by Boyle out from under the noses of UCLA and USC? Maybe it is super bouncy forward Wesley Gordon who could be an excellent backup to Andre Roberson, or versatile wing Chris Jenkins? Xavier Talton is the team's fifth recruit, an in-state combo-guard who may be a work in progress, while Boyle just added guard Eli Stalzer, a teammate of Johnson's with the reputation as a pure point guard. With plenty of talent returning for the Buffaloes, getting contributions from a few of these guys could turn CU into a national player next season.

Loudon in dark about New Hampshire Motor Speedway's push for night racingBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
September 23. 2013 9:38PM
NASCAR at nightNASCAR has 10 regular-season night races on this year's Sprint Cup schedule at seven speedways. Four of the tracks are owned by Speedway Motor Sports, the parent company of New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
April 13: Texas Motor Speedway*
April 27: Richmond (Va.) International Raceway

*Speedway Motor Sports properties
LOUDON — People who live near New Hampshire Motor Speedway are not too happy about the speedway's announcement over the weekend that it is submitting a request to NASCAR officials to hold a race under lights at the speedway in 2014.
NHMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Gappens told NASCAR.com that he'd like to see next July's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race under lights. Speedway officials confirmed Monday that a bid for such a race has been submitted to NASCAR.
Local residents and town officials said they had not heard of the plans. They were surprised because the speedway is legally bound by its original agreement with the town to a resident-facilitated stipulation that disallows night racing.
In announcing the bid to NASCAR for a night race, Gappens said he was responding to fans who have requested night races because it is too hot in July for daytime racing.
Arnie Alpert of Canterbury said track officials will find strong opposition to a proposal for lights at the track.
"There are a lot of local people who don't appreciate what the track has become, who don't care much about what those NASCAR fans are thinking," Alpert said. "There are some people who are pinned in during the races; they can't go anywhere because of the traffic."
Besides the noise issues for nearby homes during night racing, "we would lose the night sky," said Canterbury resident Judy Elliot.
Alpert, whose home is near the track, was one of the people who filed suit against the town for alleged improper conduct by a town board during the track's permitting process. He and another complainant settled out of court after being awarded the stipulation in the track's agreement with the town that no new races would begin after 7 p.m.
As part of the agreement, the complainants agreed not to oppose further expansion by the track, Alpert said.
Gappens, who could not be reached for comment Monday night, told NASCAR.com that he understood that he would have to get local approval to erect lights at the track, but said things have changed since the track was built in 1989-1990.
"If you think about it, back in 1989-90, night racing wasn't as popular as it is today, so Bob (Bahre, the track's founder) probably didn't feel like he was making a big concession when he agreed to that," Gappens told NASCAR.com.
"Now, some 25 years later, I think the speedway has been a great community partner. ... I'm in the process of trying to navigate through that restriction. The town is supportive of the speedway in Loudon but it's in our deed that we can't do that. And the town obviously doesn't want to re-open the lawsuit and have to defend itself. So we just have to navigate our way through ... we have a couple of approaches that we are working on."
Gappens said before pursuing the matter further with local officials and residents, he wanted to put the idea in front of NASCAR officials.
"They're working on sanctioning agreements and scheduling (for 2014)," he said, adding that a lighted race in Loudon would probably not take place until 2015.
Alpert said he wasn't sure how to react to Gappens' statements.
"I don't know what Mr. Gappens has in mind, I guess we're about to find out," he said.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — An airstrike killed two suspected al-Qaida militants in Yemen on Friday while tribesmen with links to the group were believed to be behind an attack on an oil pipeline elsewhere in the country, Yemeni security officials said.
Officials and residents suspect that the strike in the southeastern province of Hadramawt was carried out by a U.S. drone. Washington considers al-Qaida in Yemen the group's most dangerous branch and has carried out drone strikes that have killed militants there before.
Yemeni security officials said the two men were killed while riding a motorcycle. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The attack around the town of Shehr comes just days after another suspected drone strike in the same area killed five al-Qaida militants. The Interior Ministry said among those killed in that attack was Abdullah Bawazir, the chief architect behind a mass prison break last year that freed dozens of fighters who then took arms against the government and helped administer al-Qaida rule in the south.
The group overran entire towns and villages in southern Yemen last year by taking advantage of a security lapse during nationwide protests that eventually ousted the country's longtime ruler. Backed by the U.S. military, Yemen's army was able to regain control of the region but al-Qaida militants continue to launch deadly attacks against Yemeni security forces that have killed hundreds.
On Monday, another suspected U.S. drone strike killed two militants in the southern town of Radda in Bayda province, which was also briefly overrun by al-Qaida militants earlier this year.
Elsewhere in Yemen, al-Qaida linked tribesmen were believed to be behind an attack on an oil pipeline in the northeastern province of Marib, just hours after the line was fixed on Friday. Tribesmen from Marib have also attacked power stations in the past.
The government has carried out deadly strikes against the tribesmen in recent weeks, but has failed to stop the acts of sabotage.
The more than 430 kilometer-long (260 miles) oil pipeline carries around 100,000 barrels of oil per day. The government said the acts of sabotage this month alone have amounted to $310 million in losses to the impoverished Arab nation.
Some tribal chiefs are also suspected of being allied with former longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The attacks appeared to be aimed at undermining the new government.

At Suffolk, young entrepreneurs are getting a head start with a mentorship program that matches freshmen with more experienced upperclassmen. The program, run in partnership with the Compass Fellowship, is specifically geared toward budding social entrepreneurs.
Module Monday
The Suffolk freshmen meet with their mentors on Mondays in the Entrepreneurship Resource Center. Using training modules on the Compass website, they connect with CEOs, authors, and social activists to discuss weekly themes that range from setting career goals to incorporating a business.
Nicaela Samson, one of the 15 freshmen to pilot the program this year, considers her mentor a valuable resource.
"The mentors give us an insider-perspective on Suffolk, the classes, and college life in general. It's a comfortable atmosphere and a great place to ask questions and get to know each other," said Samson, who's earning a double major in Global Business and Entrepreneurship. She's also a member of the Suffolk Entrepreneurs and a Center for Entrepreneurship Ambassador.
"This program is fun and has definitely helped me feel more confident with my decision in choosing Suffolk University," she added.

FTC subpoenas Apple in Google antitrust case
US watchdog to grill Cupertino on mobile search deal with Choc Factory
Apple has reportedly been subpoenaed by the US Federal Trade Commission, which has asked Cupertino to explain how the Chocolate Factory's search engine is slotted into the iPhone and iPad.
News wire Bloomberg, which cites two anonymous sources "familiar with the matter", said that the FTC had requested the relevant documents from Apple that include the deals it struck with Google to allow the company's search engine to feature prominently on the Mac maker's mobile devices.
The commission has been investigating anti-competitive claims brought against Google and the subpoena shows that the FTC is continuing to gather evidence that could support or indeed dispel those allegations.
Unnamed mobile vendors and wireless carriers have received similar requests from the FTC, noted Bloomberg.
Google's business practices are currently being probed on both sides of the Atlantic.
An 18-month-long investigation in Europe is expected to move into new territory in early April when competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia will inform Google of his concerns relating to complaints from the internet giant's rivals. ®

Actress Kate Winslet is calling it quits with her husband of seven years, prolific British director Sam Mendes, the couple's law firm said Monday.
Winslet and Mendes, both Oscar winners, married in 2003 in the Caribbean and have one son together, Joe, 6.
The two have been secretly separated since the beginning of the year, according to their British law firm, Schillings, which circulated an e-mail announcing the surprise break-up to journalists Monday.
The couple's split is "entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement," according to the firm. Both Mendes and Winslet, who also has a child, 9-year-old Mia, from her first marriage to British director Jim Threapleton, remain "fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children," Schillings said.
Winslet, 34, and Mendes, 44, ruled the red carpet together during their seven-year marriage; Winslet took home a 2009 Oscar for her turn in "The Reader," while Mendes followed up on his 1999 Best Director win for "American Beauty" by helming flicks like "Revolutionary Road," which starred Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Winslet, who won a Golden Globe for her work in "Revolutionary Road," thanked Mendes during her acceptance speech for directing the flick and for encouraging her to push herself into her role.
"Thank you for directing this film, babe, and thank you for killing us every single day and really enjoying us actually being in such horrific pain," she said.
Winslet, nominated for six Academy Awards, shot to fame in James Cameron's monster hit, "Titanic," which also featured DiCaprio.
It remains unclear whether Mendes and Winslet have begun divorce proceedings.

About Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige
The filmmaker and artist duo, based in Beirut and Paris, are notorious for questioning the stakes of image production and circulation in the Middle East. Interested in rethinking the cultural imaginaries of the region and the construction of identity and memory, they have been active since the late 1990s. Their practice encompasses moving images, photography, installations, and publications. Their "Faces" series (2009) documented the worn posters that cover the walls of Beirut featuring men who died during the civil wars, while their documentary The Lebanese Rocket Society (2012) explores, in conjunction with a series of installations, the curiosities of the 1960s space project in relation to modernism and utopia.

Martial Arts Fail of the Week: How to Stomp Out a Wrestler
Remember those idiots who taught us BJJ's five fatal weaknesses (spaz punches and bright red pants being chief among them)?
Well, they're back. This time, the same "school"—Combatant Extreme Self Defense—is taking on wrestling.
And it's legit…or at least legit in the sense that the guys who peddle this crap actually believe it works. It doesn't though. There are more things wrong with this takedown "defense" than are wrong with Vitor Belfort's sudden removal from his UFC 173 title bout against Chris Weidman. Let's just say this: Count yourself lucky if you wind up in a street fight with a "wrestler" who opts to grab your rear leg on a single leg takedown, let alone make thousands of other mistakes.
Stay tuned for next week's traditional martial art's fail, where another favorite from the past will be telling us how to defeat boxing with deadly street smarts.
If you see any video that's good (or bad) enough to make the cut, let us know! Send it to email@example.com More DIGG THIS

Next year, I will have been in journalism for five years, but I'm still in unfamiliar terrain with my newest assignment as a staff writer for the Central Kentucky News-Journal.
When I first enrolled at Lindsey Wilson College, I only knew one thing about what I wanted to do: it had to be in sports. It was the one thing that I had been passionate about for my whole life.
As we draw closer to Thanksgiving, I find myself this year with even more reasons to be thankful than in the past.
I always count my family, my church, my home and job among the main reasons, and like many of you, I'm always thankful for my friends. But this year, due to a severe illness one of my friends is battling, I'm especially thankful for him.
"I can't believe they lost," I moaned after my favorite college football team went down in defeat. "Now they for sure won't make it to the new four-team playoff system," I continued to grumble.
Sensing I was descending into a sports fanatic's funk, my wife suggested we rent an uplifting movie, "Million Dollar Arm."
It happened 19 years ago, but I can still remember how mad I was when we dropped my sister off at school on her first day of fifth grade. It was also my first day of pre-school, and I had waited so long that I couldn't bear to wait a few more hours before stepping into my first classroom.
It's been a while since I was a boy in school, but I still remember the fun we all had when the occasion called for a classroom party. Every year at Halloween, Christmas or Valentine's Day, or just about any reason to have a party, it seemed we did.
I can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since I graduated from college.
I remember my college days well. Sleeping in because I had late classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Working a job at a store in town and being a writer for the campus newspaper. Being able to go home before dark on the days I didn't have to work.
College years are full of carefree days when your most important job is figuring out what you want to do with your life.
While it's a little hard to believe judging by the weather we're having, fall arrived more than a week ago. We celebrated my niece Audrey's first birthday with a watermelon picnic-themed party on Saturday, so I'm thankful for the summer-like temperatures.
But at the same time, I've been so excited for fall this year that I started decorating for it about three weeks in advance. I've already managed to accumulate several pumpkins and gourds that are prominently displayed outside and inside my home.
In just a few weeks, Taylor Countians will be asked to choose who will be their governmental leaders for the next several years.
This year's general election ballot is crammed full. Residents will chose their mayor, judge/executive, jailer, sheriff, magistrates, city council, coroner and the list goes on.
In the largest race, 21 people want to serve on the city council. That's the most people to file for the 12 seats in a long time.
What with all the bad news these days - from the Middle East (ISIS) to the NFL (spousal abuse) - it's nice to hear some good news. This one comes from Mother Nature herself in cooperation with some people intent on helping her.
It seems the ozone layer is getting better.
There are more than a few NFL fans among us here in Taylor County. Many gather around the TV on Sundays, as well as Thursdays and Mondays, to watch professional football. But with the recent behavior of some NFL players, the viewing habits of some people could change, and you couldn't blame them.

As much as I would love to watch Indiana on the big ten network, I would much rather watch our boys tonight....Steams?
As much as I would love to watch Indiana on the big ten network, I would much rather watch our boys tonight....Steams?
November 11th, 2011 at 5:53 PM ^
can someone please tell me asap if you can buy tickets at the gate, or box office, just prior to tip off ?
November 11th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
i've done it before, yes. shouldn't be a sell out tonight
November 11th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Here is the stream, found on the tonight's open thread from user MgoChippewa via Ghost from the UMhoops board.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
I would say yes. No way this game is sold out. A guy was trying to give one away on the board earlier.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:03 PM ^
I doubt there's any streams since the game is only available through the B1G online network.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
Couldn't someone essentially stream the stream?
November 11th, 2011 at 6:20 PM ^
You can't triple stamp a double stamp.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:34 PM ^
and now I can't find it... Does anybody else have trouble finding any topics that aren't listed on the front page? When i hit the forward arrow it goes to an identical box for the diaries instead of the regular topics... wassup wit dat?
November 11th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Apparently that happens for certain browsers, it can be fixed by right-clicking and opening the next page of topics on a new tab.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
here's what the earlier post said -
its on btdn. go to http://video.btn.com/allaccess/index-splash.html and use the promo code BTDN3FR33. The first month is free, and seeing this is the last M bball game on it for the season, should not cost you a dime.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
do you enter the promo code?
November 11th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
I signed up for the premium service last week (for free) and now it is telling me that I don't have access. Anyone else having this issue? Is it because it isn't 7:00 yet?
November 11th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
When I entered the code last week it said free 1-month and then a monthly fee, which I planned on canceling after tonight. Now it appears as though it was a 1-game code? It says it is invalid and If I try to watch it, it wants me to subscribe (pay.) Lame.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
YA this is happening to me also. My account says I have a free membership for the next month or two.
But it won't let me watch the game.
This is BS if id doesn't start working in the next 5 minutes. And of course you can't call CBS College Sports. They only take email questions. Ugh.
November 11th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
I also signed up last week, and I'm not having that problem. I clicked on the game link, and it says "commercial break in progress" with the current time running.
I assume it'll work. Quality was actually pretty decent last week. That's a bummer that the promo code expired for those who didn't sign up last week.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
what did it say under the picuture on the event?
it says premium for me.
I am seriously pissed right now that I cant watch. I have a membership!!!
Why is there no phone number to contact?!?!
November 11th, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
Said premium for me as well, but worked just fine when I clicked on it. Don't know why it's working for me and not others. I'd be pretty pissed...
November 11th, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
When I signed up it said it was good through the end of November but now it tries to make me sign up when I click the link. WTF?
November 11th, 2011 at 7:00 PM ^
I'm trying to buy the monthly package but can't, wtf btn
November 11th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
Ditto. Signed up for the free month last week. This week it says I no longer have that offer. I try to pay for the 1 month subscription and it says I can't because it conflicts with my current subscription. This is absolutely infuriating.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
last week free be cobe an now it wants me to sign up again.
If anyone figure's this out could you please post how you did?
November 11th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
Shane Morris, T-Rich, and RJS instead of basketball for me tonight.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Maybe im not doing it right.
This is so depressing I was looking forward to this game all day..
EDIT: Thxs a million for the stream. Way to be selfless.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
HELLO... check out the game.. no cost
November 11th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
November 11th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
I know I can LISTEN to the game.
But I, and several others on this thread, have memberships and yet cannot watch the game.
Some people are even trying to buy a membership an can't do it.
This is obviously going to make us all very mad.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
Stream link! Courtesy of "ghost" on umhoops.com
November 11th, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
Stream seems to be working great for me, and I don't have BTN. Thanks for posting.
November 11th, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
they were nailing 3's untill then, now there 1-13 down the stretch.
Living and dieing by the 3 this team is definantly a work in progress. But I guess thats what these 1st few games are for.They need Horford of JM to give them something down low to challenge for b-10 title.
It's still just game 1, and remember it took them a while to get it together last year. Plus, it's basketball which means it's a game of runs, I just missed there 1st half so it looked worse than it was. They'll get it going in the second half, no doubt.

This rating is for Fine Art America only. Not the artist. I received this print on acrylic. It shows to have a silver back ground, but it was green-ish in real life. That didn't work for me so I needed to send it back. It cost me $32 to have it shipped, but $96....yes, NINETY SIX dollars to have it sent back. Fine Arts could have had a pre-printed label from their corporate account (like Amazon does) for it to be shipped back and then that ($32) amount deducted from my refund. They did not. So, basically I paid $120 to get a product that did not match the print online. Therefore, I will NEVER shop at Fine Art America again AND will warn everyone I know to beware.

Fallen Deer, 1996 - Nature's Song Without Words -Experiencing a landscape - or at least looking at one - seems at least to me to be a form of meditation, getting in touch with the here and now, without hurry, a moment of rest. Looking over the lake or sea or the edge of the forest, with nothing occupying the mind, I can let go and feel connected to the landscape and the world. -Christian Slanec
"Welcome" I am very grateful that you have chosen to visit my gallery and purchase my artwork for your home or business. I hope you get as much enjoyment from viewing my work as I find creating it. The process I�m using is somewhat novel & cutting-edge, with digital technology replacing not only the darkroom, but the camera as well. I�m creating my images with a flatbed scanner, which offers interesting opportunities. Unlike a traditional camera, a flatbed scanner captures an image by slowly moving both the light and the lens across the subject�essentially lighting and photographing it from multiple angles in one long exposure. This produces a single image stitched together from thousands of tiny slivers, to which I then...

I was thinking about how to teach/reteach potential subjunctive over the weekend, and suddenly remembered back when I was a big Jeff Foxworthy fan. So I thought I'd start up a Roman-themed "Redneck Joke" thread. This should yield up some good things- after all, Romans had the same sort of attitude towards "provincials" that some Americans do.
So for starters,

'Guardian Angel' drops seven Swiss gold francs in Salvation Army kettle in Libertyville
Seven Swiss gold francs worth $2,170 were dropped in a Salvation Army kettle in Libertyville, as Lake County donors continue to corner the market for giving valuable coins.
The francs each contain 0.19 ounces of gold and are dated from 1906 to 1935. Wrapped in a handwritten, spiritually-themed note, they were deposited Saturday in a kettle at the Jewel store on Milwaukee Avenue.
Because of the note and its references and the type of coins, the Salvation Army believes the gifts came from the same anonymous "Guardian Angel" who dropped two packages of seven Swiss gold francs valued at $6,930 at the same location last year.
Heavy on theology, the fairly lengthy personal note thanks the faithful "soldier" bell ringers for doing the work of God by taking care of the needy, financially and spiritually. It comes to a direct conclusion: "Bottom line: Give generously and you will be blessed in many ways!"
The Jewel location bell ringer was out sick Monday and didn't find out about the coins until Tuesday, said Capt. William Holman, who heads the Salvation Army Waukegan Corps office.
"I said, 'You need to look at the book for Saturday,'" he said. "She didn't know, obviously."
Giving gold and silver or other valuable coins has been a tradition for more than 25 years and their arrival in the kettles gets attention.
But there is something about Lake County, which has led the Salvation Army's Metropolitan Division, serving Chicago, northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana, in gold coins the past two years. Ten of the 11 gold coins reported in kettles this year have been in Lake County -- the other was a South African Kruggerand at Casey's Foods in Naperville.
Holman said the overall pace of giving has slowed since earlier this month when the first gold and silver donations were logged in Lake County.
"In the last few days, it's really come back to us. This week, I increased the number of hours the bell ringers will be out there," he said. Ringers will be out from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Saturday at 66 red kettle locations in Lake County.
Last year, 31 gold and silver coins worth $14,000 were dropped in kettles in Lake County. So far this season, there have been 12 worth more than $8,000, Holman said.
"Last year was quite different than any other year," he said, of the coin donations.
This year's overall donation goal is $500,000, with $329,000 collected. The campaign in Lake County raised $434,000 raised last year. Across the region, the red kettle campaign is down about 10 percent from a year ago, according to Alyce Chadwick, a spokeswoman for the Salvation Army.
Gifts of stock are down 30 percent due to "continuing economic hardship," she added, and those seeking emergency food requests have quadrupled in some areas.
Other assistance includes youth programs, emergency lodging, disaster relief, spiritual counseling and substance abuse programs.

It's tough to make a new smartphone stand out from the crowd. Samsung's answer? Ditch the flat screen.
A Samsung handset with a curved screen will go on sale in South Korea in October, the electronics company revealed on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
No word, though, on when it'll appear in the U.S. from D.J. Lee, the company's mobile business head of strategic marketing, who announced the curveball at a Galaxy Note 3 launch in Seoul.
When they go shopping, phone buyers these days are faced with a sea of pretty similar-looking handsets, analysts say — a sign that innovation has dried up in the industry. Even style leader Apple has taken some knocks for a lack of creativity (though 9 million in opening-weekend iPhone 5 sales suggest it's not time to start worrying yet).
With the gently curved screen, Samsung is reaching for a "hero" feature that'll catch eyes and open wallets.
\"From a consumer perspective, I don\'t know how useful it\'s going to be. But it\'s a way for Samsung to differentiate their devices,\" Mykola Golovko, a Euromonitor senior analyst, told CNBC.
Not that Samsung hasn't tried other ploys — the newly launched Note 3 is just the latest in its line of phones with larger displays, and it's also releasing its first smartwatch.
Lee didn't bring a curvy handset to the launch party, so we don't know what it'll look like. But there may be some clues in a presentation Samsung gave at the CES show in January, where it showed off a "Youm" prototype model with a somewhat flexible display. Take a look at the YouTube video below for a look at what the South Korean electronics maker is aiming for.
If that feature doesn\'t pay off, Samsung has another trick up its sleeve. If a tweet from @SamsungMobileArabia is anything to go by, it's about to follow Apple by making a gold version of its flagship Galaxy S4 phone.
