Skillet Suppers: Seared Scallops with Israeli Couscous
Get the Recipe
Making dinner during the late summer months is one of the best times of year with all of the fresh produce available. I have a minor obsession (read: major) with tomatoes, so I like to put them in almost anything. But, of course, there is also corn, zucchini, and tons of fresh herbs to throw in the mix. With that said, it's fun to take advantage and prepare quick and healthy meals out of them. Like this one.
Instead of going for a traditional pasta salad, I opted for whole-wheat Israeli couscous (often called pearled) because it has a nutty, chewy characteristic that readily absorbs sauces and flavors—one reason that I cooked it in a vegetable broth. Though this is intended as a summer dish, the vegetables can be easily substituted for seasonal variations like roasted pumpkin or winter squash. Similarly, if scallops aren't your thing, feel free to top it with shrimp or chicken.
The whole dish is super simple to prepare and quite addictive. The key is to not overcook the scallops or they will become rubbery and unpleasant. I always stick to a handy method that a Scottish chef, Michael Smith from Three Chimneys, once taught me.
The trick is this: heat a heavy pan (preferably cast iron) over high heat with your cooking fat of choice, then, when hot, add the scallops, and cook until the bottoms brown and the whitening appearance of being cooked starts creeping up the sides. Flip, then let cook for a minute or two more to brown, and remove from the stove to allow the residual heat from the pan finish cooking it.
I swear that since learning this method, I have not overcooked seafood.
Note: The recipe was tested and written using traditional scallop-cooking methods, so follow the instructions if you think the idea above is a little too much.

THE Wilts and Berks Canal Trust has bought the historic pub The Peterborough Arms at Dauntsey Lock from Wadworth Brewery and plans to reopen it as soon as possible.
The canalside pub was closed by the brewery in April 2013 and the Trust quickly opened discussions to buy it. The sale has gone through thanks to loans from the Trust's supporters.
The group hopes to expand the pub and turn the site into a canal centre which will accommodate a cafe and a museum as well.
"The Trust is very excited to have been able to buy the Peterborough Arms. We know that our plans are ambitious, but we believe we can make this into a tourist destination. We are also very keen for this to be a centre for the surrounding community," said Chris Coyle, acting chairman of the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust.
"We are taking a deep breath now as there is a lot of work that'll need to be done to put the flesh on the bones.
"We hope to have a formal reopening next summer but we want to have a visible presence at the pub immediately so we can talk to the public about what we want to do.
"We properly wouldn't be able to serve beer at this stage but we could dish out some coffees."
Wadworth Brewery is pleased to see that the Peterborough Arms will get a new lease of life.
Lloyd Stephens, tenanted trade director of Wadworth and Co Ltd, said: "We are delighted to have been able to reach agreement with the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust to keep the Peterborough Arms in existence."
The Trust is welcoming public support and donations to help with their ambitious programme.
Chris added: "The purchase has been funded by loans from our incredibly generous and supportive members and I want to thank them all.
"We now have to work out in detail exactly what the programme of work is to enable us to do everything that we want to do. The restoration will be a big task given the condition of the pub.
"We are looking for support from our members and the community in lots of ways, to move this complex project forward.
"If anybody wants to join the loan scheme or make a donation, or offer help with the project, then we would be delighted to hear from them."
Once the pub reopens the Trust would like to run boat trips from it as well as allowing visitors to hire bikes and boats.

See Louisiana Police Departments and search free public police records. Police departments, precincts, stations, and public safety departments are law enforcement institutions which enforce laws and keep public order.
Police departments maintain records on any actions that involve the police, including crime reports, incidents reported to the police, and ongoing police investigations.
Arrest reports, incident reports, search warrants, arrest warrants, and more can be found at police departments. Many of these records can be accessed online through the local police department.
Police departments have records of all police arrests, incident reports, and police warrants. Many police departments make these records available to the public through online databases.
Police departments keep arrest reports and incident reports. Arrest reports include basic information about the arrest, such as the names of those arrested, the location, the number of charges, and the bail amount, if any. If an individual resisted arrest or the officer used force, this will be recorded in the arrest report.
Incident reports are records of police action that did not involve an arrest, such as accident reports, citizen reports of crimes, and 911 calls for assistance. These reports list the time, location, and nature of the incident, and any injuries or weapons found at the scene.
Arrest reports and incident reports are often included in police logs. These summary logs are typically available to the public, and they can be searched through online databases maintained by local police departments.
Some police departments also provide public access to police body-worn camera footage. This footage may be available from the local police department if you make a public records request.
Police departments also keep records of search warrants and arrest warrants. Search warrants include a description of the items the police are seeking, the judge's approval for the warrant, and a list of items seized by the officers during the search. Arrest warrants include the name of the accused, the alleged crime, and the court that approved the warrant.
The police department may provide access to search warrants and arrest warrants. These warrants are also court documents, so if the police department cannot provide copies, you can request these records from the court.
In some cases, law enforcement officers may request that certain police records remain sealed if they believe public access might endanger those involved in the case or hamper the police investigation.
Most police departments provide public access to certain police records on their website. For other police records, including arrest reports or body camera footage, you may need to fill out a public records request with the police department. In most cases, this can be done online.

Fractures of the bones are classified in a number of ways. A simple fracture involves a single fracture line through a bone. A comminuted fracture is one in which the bone has been fractured into two or more fragments. An open fracture is one in which the fractured bone penetrates the skin.
The three main treatment options for bone fractures are:
While the patient is pain-free (general or local anesthesia), an incision is made over the fractured bone. The bone is placed in proper position and screws, pins, or plates are attached to or in the bone temporarily or permanently. Any disrupted blood vessels are tied off or burned (cauterized). If examination of the fracture shows that a quantity of bone has been lost as a result of the fracture, especially if there is a gap between the broken bone ends, the surgeon may decide that a bone graft is essential to avoid delayed healing.
If bone grafting is not necessary, the fracture can be repaired by the following methods:
a) one or more screws inserted across the break to hold it.
b) a steel plate held by screws drilled into the bone.
c) a long fluted metal pin with holes in it, is driven down the shaft of the bone from one end, with screws then passed through the bone and through a hole in the pin.
In some cases, after this stabilization, the microsurgical repair of blood vessels and nerves is necessary. The skin incision is then closed in the usual fashion.
The advantage of internal fixation is that it often allows early mobility and faster healing. Unless the internal fixation causes problems, it is not necessary or desirable to remove it. The long-term prognosis is excellent. The length of the hospital stay depends on factors such as the condition of the bone, the presence of infection, the state of the blood and nerve supply, and presence of other injuries. Children's bones heal rapidly, usually in 6 weeks time.

text: Myth Busted on Per Acre Costs January 29, 2013 08:38 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Large operations have higher per-acre costs True or false: As farm size increases, per acre costs go down. The answer might surprise you. It's false. Illinois farms with more than 4,000 acres had per-acre fertilizer costs of $124 per acre in 2011, the highest of any size group, with total nonland costs of $525, again the highest of any size group. This group also had the highest land costs at $234 per acre and paid the highest cash rent of any group at $276 per acre. The data is compiled from grain farms in northern and central Illinois that were enrolled in the Illinois Farm Business Farm Management Association in 2011. "The data do not support the notion that larger farms have cost advantages over smaller farms." What gives? Why is the assumption that large-scale producers have the lowest per-acre costs false? "The data do not support the notion that larger farms have cost advantages to smaller farms," says Gary Schnitkey, a University of Illinois ag economist, who conducted the study. However, he says, there are still good reasons for getting bigger. "There are advantages to increasing farm size, as incomes will rise with large farm sizes as long as costs can be controlled. Therefore, larger farms will have higher net farm incomes than smaller farms"—again, assuming costs can be managed. Schnitkey notes that land costs tend to increase on a per-acre basis as farm size increases. This is because larger farms tend to cashrent more of their farmland at higher prices, Schnitkey says. For example, the largest sized farms cash-rent 77% of their acres, own 15% and share-rent 8%. This compares with 55% cash-rent, 41% owned and 4% share-rent for the smallest size group, and 70% cashrent, 16% owned and 14% sharerent for operations between 1,001 and 2,000 acres. Overall, costs increase as farm size increases. Looking at land costs, they are $119 per acre for farms with fewer than 500 tillable acres; $157 for farms with 501 to 750 acres; $186 for farms with 751 to 1,000 acres; $195 per acre for 1,001 to 1,500 acres; $199 per acre for 1,501 to 2,000 acres; $200 per acre for 2,001 to 3,000 acres; slightly less, $191 per acre, for 3,001 to 4,000 acres; and, the highest of all, $234 per acre for farms with more than 4,000 acres. Nonland costs ratchet up with size, too, ranging from $484 per acre (total nonland cost) for farmers with fewer than 500 acres to $525 per acre for farmers with more than 4,000 acres, thus less of a swing than with land and some other key inputs. Seed costs vary little by size group, whereas chemical costs are lowest for the highest acre production group: $30 per acre for farms with more than 4,000 acres and $49 per acre for farms between 3,001 and 4,000 acres. Corn Is Key Reason. Larger farmers have higher costs because they have a higher percentage of their acreage in corn, which costs more to produce than other crops. For example, farms with more than 4,000 acres are 76% corn/22% soybeans; farms with 1,001 to 2,000 acres are 63% corn/35% soybeans; and farms with fewer than 500 acres are 56% corn/42% soybeans. "Costs associated with corn tends to be higher than those for soybean acres, thereby accounting for the higher costs for farmers with more than 4,000 acres," Schnitkey states. Data from Minnesota is somewhat different. Total direct and overhead expenses for 2011 were $810 for the largest group measured, farms between 2,001 and 5,000 acres, according to Farm Business Farm Management Association data for the southern part of the state. Second highest was 1,001- to 1,500-acre farms, with total costs of $765 per acre, and third highest was the 1,501- to 2,000-acre group, with direct and overhead expenses of $761 per acre. Those who farm between 101 and 250 acres had just $691 in total costs. Dale Nordquist, a University of Minnesota ag economist, says smaller operations' lower costs are probably due to the fact that they also are livestock operations and use the manure on the crop side of the business, which keeps fertilizer costs low.

About the Creator
I like to photograph anything that inspires me; I like to find beauty where others don't... because the Beauty, like Verity and Goodness, is an antidote against pessimism, an invite to enjoy life. My photographic effort is therefore devoted to communicate and transmit the Beauty using light, perspective, colour and composition motivated by the passion, by the curiosity, by the patience and by the perseverance. In fact it is the passion and perseverance that drive me to come back more times and at improbable time in the same place waiting for the better light and framing, the most favourable moment o simply to put at ease the subject. I think that photography helps to see what surrounds us, which we often overlook. The camera helps me to avoid this error.

Asking Bands to Play for 'Exposure' Taken to a New Level as a Report Says the NFL Is Asking Artists to PAY to Play Super Bowl Halftime
The age-old argument of wanting music artists to perform for no pay, but for 'exposure' has been taken to a new, absurd level by the National Football League that is reportedly asking its three finalists for this year's game to pay the NFL for the exposure that comes with playing the most watched event each year. What's next? Making halftime a Pay Per View special for viewers?
I've railed on this topic before, so there's no need to rehash it, but if somehow the NFL is successful in this campaign, it would set a terrible precedent for musicians big and small in the future I'm afraid.
One fact to point out that maybe not everyone knows is that in the past, the NFL has not paid any of the performers. The years The Who, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen played, they received no money from the NFL. When Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed for an estimated 115 million people watching last year, they didn't get a dime. But in the past, the NFL has always covered all production costs for the stage, lights, sound, travel, hotel and food, etc., which can cost the league up to a million dollars.
A million bucks is a lot of money no matter who you are, but when the game generates almost a half BILLION dollars in revenue, network broadcast fees have gone through the roof, the cheapest ticket you can find for the game is about two grand, and on and on and on, you'd think that somewhere, they could stumble across the money to put on a show. In fact, the halftime show last year had more people watching than the game itself (112 million) But is the 'exposure' paying off in concert ticket sales and music sales for the artist?
Both Bruno Mars this year and Beyonce' last year announced their tours Super Bowl weekend and put tickets on sale the day after the game, but both artists have been selling a lot of tickets to their shows before the Super Bowl as well. Same thing with this years three finalists for the halftime gig: Coldplay, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Personally if I was managing any of the three finalists, I'd tell the NFL to stick it. Paying a million dollars to the league for the right to play the Super Bowl Halftime, or paying their own expenses and travel would be ridiculous at this stage in their careers.
Maybe the NFL should go back to its roots and bring in a local marching band from an area high school or college to perform like they did in the first couple of years of the Super Bowl. Tickets can be $8, the game can be played in half-filled stadiums and broadcast fees can be a pipe dream.
Or here's a better idea. The TV network airing the game is paying a LOT of money to carry it, but they're also charging about $8 million dollars a minute for advertising in the game. Somehow I bet they could get a corporate sponsor to underwrite the cost of halftime. It's already got a title sponsor, jack up that rate a bit and cover the million bucks, because if they honestly think any band or artist is going to pay a million dollars so they can play halftime, they might as well just run commercials and plan on the people at home (and in the stadium) taking a half hour bathroom and snack break.

Alexandre Cabanel (French, 1823–1889)
Adolphe Jourdan (French, 1825–1889)
The Birth of Venus, ca. 1864
Oil on canvas, 33 1/2 x 53 1/2 in.
Signed lower left: Alex. Cabanel
This icon of 19th-century French academic painting is one of two known, signed, reduced replicas of the celebrated picture that Cabanel exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1863. The original version—now in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris—was purchased for the Imperial collection by Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III. Cabanel quickly sold the reproduction rights for his image to the art dealer and publisher Adolphe Goupil, who commissioned one of his in-house copyists, Adolphe Jourdan, to paint a reduced replica that would serve as a model for the production of an engraving. That reduced replica—the version in the Dahesh Museum Collection—became the most famous version of the original painting, frequently mentioned and reproduced in 19th-century books and journals, and always attributed to Cabanel himself.
Often, the original artist oversaw the creation of such replicas and provided the copyist with his own preparatory sketches. The production of painted replicas was a highly lucrative venture for Goupil: not only did they provide the saleable basis for creating prints, but he could also sell the painted replicas themselves. Replicas were rewarding for the original artist as well, since Goupil's firm could sell his famed image repeatedly, in varying sizes, and he would receive a royalty for each sale. While such pictures were usually identified as copies, and priced accordingly, Goupil sold Jourdan's replica of The Birth of Venus as a Cabanel original in 1870 for the considerable sum of 20,000 francs. Cabanel received half of the profits for retouching and signing the replica, fulfilling his part of an agreement he made with Goupil in 1864.
American dealer and auctioneer Henry W. Derby purchased the picture, in turn selling it to the wealthy Philadelphia collector Henry C. Gibson. It remained in Gibson's collection until it entered the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1896, as part of Gibson's bequest to that institution. A second replica of the picture, dated to 1874 and formerly owned by New York collector John Wolfe, now belongs in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hobbit Letter Openers
One man's junk mail...
- Sting is my name, I am junk mail's bane
- Orcrist cleaves bills in twain
- Comes in a wooden collector's box
Sting strikes fear into the hearts of many an orc. What was just a simple side blade to an elf is a perfect sword for a Hobbit, and Sting served Bilbo Baggins well on his many adventures. A constant character is the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, Sting was passed from Bilbo to Frodo and later to Sam, and used to fight off everything from goblins and orcs to cranky old Gollum. It will surely glow blue in the presence of evil bills. (Our Legal Department requires us to tell you that the last sentence is not true.)
Prefer something a bit more badass? Why not a letter opener that looks like Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver used by Thorin Oakenshield? It's guaranteed to cleave any envelope in twain. Both letter openers are authentic reproductions of the original props and will be your constant companions as you fight off the onslaught of junk mail and bills. Tear that mail open with the flick of a wrist. Letters don't stand a chance.
Product Specifications
- Tear open bills with Sting or Orcrist
- Authentic Miniature Reproduction of Sting or Orcrist
- Officially licensed Hobbit collectible
- Dimensions: 7" long
- Packaged in a wooden collector's box: 10" x 3.5"

Reviewed by Lizzy O. (age 11)
I liked this book because I love terrifying books and it is really hair-raising. My favorite character is Zack because he snuck over to Max's neighbor and started juggling his tomatoes and he also played a prank on his friends. Zack reminds me of my dad who plays pranks on me all the time. Another one of my favorite characters is Matt because he sneaks around the house at night like I do.
I recommend this book to anyone of the age of 8 who loves scary and frightening books.

Building Buzz
Q. Our library is going to go for a bond issue next spring. What can we be doing now to build support?
A. A lot, actually. Now is the time to build awareness of the services your library offers, the value of your library to the community, and the benefits ("return") your visitors get for their tax dollars ("investment"). Use word of mouth and other marketing techniques to position your library as a positive force in your community.

text: A newb question for sure. Using this tutorial. http://www.howtoforge.com/multiserver-setup-with-dedicated-web-email-dns-and-mysql-database-servers-on-debian-squeeze-with-ispconfig-3 On a multiserver set up each server needs an IP obviously, however I only have a block of 5 static PUBLIC IP's. I still use godaddy for DNS stuff so the web server and email server would be the only two needing a public IP. The DB server and DB replication server I use wouldn't need public but private IP's correct? Also, The DB server and DB replication server I use are from a post and tutorial Falko made with Till and Mark_NL helping me with tweaks. If I am going with multiserver ISPConfig, could I not also set up ISPConfig to manage slave for replication, or shall I still do it manually? Thanks as always folks, Scott

Charlie Bewley InterviewNov 25th, 2009 | By Krystal | Category: Featured Articles, Movie News
EW has a new interview with Charlie Bewley (Demitri) here! ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you been recognized more often? CHARLIE BEWLEY: I don't think so. Nothing's really changed for me—I think it's more of an online buzz right now. I expect maybe before Christmas that everyone would see this movie and if they keep their eyes

Jackie Robinson Ballpark
The historic ballpark opened on June 4, 1914 as the Daytona City Island Ballpark. It consisted of a baseball field and set of wooden bleachers. In the 1920's, a road circling the ballpark was built to accommodate the growing number of spectators who were traveling to the ballpark by automobile. A grandstand with a press box was built behind home plate to replace the original wooden bleachers along with two additional covered sections of grandstands along the first base line. A bleacher section along the third base line was added shortly after the first renovation in the 1950's. The present day grandstand and press box were built in 1962. A home team clubhouse was constructed down the left field line in 1972 to accommodate the Montreal Expos. In 1973 left field bleachers, with a capacity of 2,500 seats, were installed. The park was renamed Jackie Robinson Ballpark in 1989 as the stadium served as host to the first racially integrated game in baseball history. The visitor's clubhouse down the right field line was then built in 1993 to comply with Minor League Baseball regulations.
The Jack received many renovations starting in 2007. Before the season started, the LKQ area was introduced. Located along the Riverwalk, the LKQ area provides a convenient central location for fans to get both grilled items and other refreshments both before the game and throughout the action. The Budweiser Bullpen was unveiled at the 2007 All-Star game, which was hosted at the ballpark. After the 2010 season, cooling fans were installed throughout the grandstands to help keep those in the crowd cooler throughout the entirety of the game. In 2011, a late March storm took off a portion of the batting cage that sits beyond the left field fence. A new, hard-top green roof was put in place, but that was not the end of the new renovations. In order to create a more interactive experience for the fans, speakers were hung along the Riverwalk. This allows fans who are enjoying the Riverwalk, or getting something from one of our many concession stands, to stay in tune with the game by hearing the live radio broadcast on AM1230 WSBB.

Imagine having an election where candidates were criticized for campaigning.
Strange, right? Unless it's the Bowl Championship Series.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, who was an aspiring politician before settling into a very successful coaching career, is currently in the unenviable position of being the third-wheel in the race to the BCS title game.
Kansas State leads the BCS standings. Oregon is second. Notre Dame is third. If the Ducks and Wildcats win out, they will likely play for the BCS title on Jan. 7 in Miami, even if the Fighting Irish also finish unbeaten.
``Nobody is jumping anybody at this point, barring voter epiphany or election fraud,'' said Jerry Palm, who analyzes the BCS standings and basketball RPI for CBSSports.com and runs CollegeBCS.com.
You see, for all the talk about computer ratings, the BCS standings formula is really all about the polls. Two-thirds of a team's grade comes from two polls - the USA Today coaches' poll and the Harris poll. The voters in the Harris poll range from former players and college athletic administrators to current members of the media.
The system is set up for the polls to essentially set the national championship game and for the computers only to come into play when the polls are so close there is no clear consensus on Nos. 1 and 2.
The voters decide, but for some reason the candidates (i.e. coaches) who get dragged into this mess are looked down upon for publicly making a case for their teams.
Some coaches - such as Urban Meyer when he was at Florida and Mack Brown at Texas - have been more aggressive about advocating.
Others, such as Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, have been more subtle and tried to steer clear. Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy took that tack last year when his Cowboys were jockeying with Alabama for a spot in the title game.
Not until all the games had been played did Gundy make a strong pitch.
``I think that each coach has to make a decision based on what gives his team the best opportunity to play in the championship game,'' Gundy said Monday. ``I don't know that there's a perfect time.''
While the coach can only do so much, a school's sports information staff plays a big role.
Kenny Mossman, the former sports information director at Oklahoma now working as an associate athletic director for the school, has been part of a couple of close BCS races. In 2008, Oklahoma beat out Texas in a close vote that determined which team played for the Big 12 title, with a spot in the national championship game on the line.
``I always felt like we had a very fine line to walk there between overtly campaigning and providing the type of information that allowed us to be viewed fairly,'' he said.
Mossman and his staff would send email blasts to members of the college football media with stats and facts accentuating the strengths of Oklahoma's resume.
Most of the people on the receiving end of those emails didn't have a vote in either of the BCS polls, but they had platforms that could alter the public debate and maybe sway a voter or two.
``What you're trying to do is get to the influencers,'' Mossman said. ``Some may be voters and some may be not.''
Mossman said he would always consult with Stoops about the message.
``Ultimately, he's the face of the program and you don't want to make him feel uncomfortable,'' he said.
Kelly, after saying he would stay away from lobbying a week earlier, decided to tout the Irish on Sunday. And why not?
He pointed out the Irish have the No. 1 scoring defense in the country, and they are the only contender that hasn't played an FCS team.
``If you want style points, look at our defense, look at the schedule that we played: 10 FBS teams,'' Kelly said. ``We'll just keep working on one at a time and let other people figure out where that puts us.''
The odd thing about Notre Dame's BCS position is that it belies the perception among many college football fans that the Irish are media darlings and consistently overrated.
The Notre Dame brand isn't going to help the Fighting Irish in this race, and neither will the voters, no matter how much Kelly campaigns.
``Notre Dame is not going to jump (Oregon and Kansas State) without their help,'' Palm said. ``They're way too far behind in the polls. The voters are not on board with Notre Dame.''
Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2004, the best result ever by a freshman.
Before that, Georgia's Herschel Walker had the best showing for a freshman in the Heisman voting, with a third-place finish in 1980.
Johnny Manziel isn't a true freshman like those two great running backs, he's a redshirt freshman. But his scintillating performance in Texas A&M's 29-24 upset of Alabama on Saturday has given him a legitimate chance to make Heisman history.
Manziel has been putting up Heisman-worthy numbers all season. He's second in the nation in total offense at 379 yards per game and has accounted for 33 touchdowns.
But he was less-than-spectacular in losses to Florida and LSU, A&M's two best opponents before Saturday.
Now that he has a big win on his resume, Manziel has a clear path to be a Heisman finalist and earn a trip to New York for the presentation in December.
Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein is still the Heisman front-runner, but Johnny Football is closing fast.
- No. 1 Oregon could be starting its third-string free safety against No. 14 Stanford after Avery Patterson, who replaced John Boyett, went down with what looked like a serious knee injury on Saturday. The Ducks also played much of their game against Cal without their five best defensive lineman because of injuries.
- Now that the Big East has gained a path to automatic entry to the new postseason system, which goes into effect in 2014, the next task for the conference will be convincing BYU to join.
- The winner of the ACC Coastal Division could finish the regular season 6-6 overall.
``We talked very frankly about it. He told me he had not made a decision, if we go 6-6, despite what all the reports are. Either the sources are wrong or Dave wasn't being forthright with me, and I have no reason to think Dave's not being forthright with me. He's an honest man. He's always been honest with me. I've appreciated how he's handled everything about this.'' - Tennessee coach Derek Dooley saying Monday that his future with the Volunteers has not been determined by athletic director Dave Hart.

I had the opportunity to hear RFK speak at Brigham Young University on March 27, 1968. The 1960s were difficult times – in 1968 – the Vietnam War was raging, RFK was challenging a sitting President LBJ for his party's nomination, demonstrators were in all of the major cities. Less than a week following RFK's talk Martin Luther King would be shot & killed. Two months after that RFK was shot and killed.
Kennedy's remarks on campus were effective. He had done his homework; he had broken the ice and won over the respect of the packed arena. That fairly conservative campus was no longer his adversary but was ready to listen. He spoke briefly and took all questions. Tough questions. He was grilled but he was comfortable explaining his positions on the current state of the war and the country.
I clearly remember his opening remarks – with humor he reached out to his audience and showed respect for their history and beliefs. His actions and remarks echo in today's headlines.
"Thank you very much. Thank you. I appreciate very much being here at this campus … I understand that this is a campus made up of all political persuasions. I had a very nice conversation with Dr. {Ernest L.} Wilkinson [laughter] … and I promised him that all Democrats would be off campus by sundown [laughter, applause].
But I feel very close to this state. Not only did part of my wife's family live in the state of Utah for a long period of time, I traveled down your Green River…spent part of the time in the water (laughter) … part of my honeymoon here and I've had ten children since – so I have learned something from the Mormons [laughter].
I think that we still have a great deal in common, and in common with the man this university honors. For I too have a large family [laughter], I too have settled in many states [laughter]. And now I too know what it is to take on Johnson's army. [Standing ovation, laughter and applause]." (Read the complete text at: Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought Vol 3, Number 3, Autumn 1968).
The reference to "Johnson's Army" was a reference to his taking on President Lyndon B. Johnson in the Democratic Party Primaries as well as to President James Buchanan sending General Albert S. Johnston and his troops to quell the non-existent "Utah Rebellion" in 1857. This otherwise obscure reference was well known to BYU students schooled in Utah history. With this series of well thought out personal & historical references he won over the crowd.
After his remarks students crowded around to shake his hand. I was one of them. I was surprised at how short he was. I had always pictured him as over 6' tall – but he was only 5'9" … shorter than I was then (but now that I am shrinking, I am catching up to him 🙂
(Photo courtesy BYU Archives).
I learned that day that it is important to see and hear a person speak for themselves – to take the measure of a man. I concluded that he was an honest man who believed in what he was doing and trying to accomplish. It was an honor to shake his hand that day – 27 March 1968.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Jim: Don't Bogart That Can, Man
This is Jim. You know what Jim does for a living? He's a medical marijuana dispenser and I am hereby renaming him "Mary Jane". Mary Jane has also worked on Wall Street and won over 40 poker tournaments. As poker players tend to be total dicks, my hopes are sky high for Mary Jane. Get it? "High"... I'm here all week folks.
Alright, I've got to see Mary Jane's video. Please don't let me down, please don't let me down...
You know what? I like him. I'm down with Mary Jane. Confident, spontaneous, big personality... that's the recipe I'm looking for. Now someone mix that into some brownie batter and let's party.

Seems OK. He reminds me of Richard Hatch for some reason...maybe it's his cockiness. The cast certainly seems to be improving.ReplyDelete
I like MJ. He's the type (much like Spike and kristina) that I could root for to go all the way. Because of that, he won't be my pick to win because, well just look at my track record. Guys like him have a lot of game and therefore get behind the 8 ball really early on. Good luck MJ. I like you, therefore you're doomed. Sorry.ReplyDelete
@Jen- I feel the same exact way. Unfortunately for him, I like him, so I am sure he will go early. Dimples seems to think his weakness is women.ReplyDelete

Model of the Asklepion at Epidaurus, Greece, 1936
You're a prizewinning athlete in ancient Greece, but your foot hasn't been right since a heavy cart went over it a month ago. Where can you seek help? You could visit the local Asklepion, a shrine to the Greek god of healing, Asklepios. Most towns had an Asklepion, but this one just outside the city of Epidaurus is especially grand. What will you do there? It's a big site with plenty of opportunities for rest and relaxation, all shaded by trees. You could swim in the baths, watch games in the stadium and pray in the temple of Asklepios. You might even do some gentle exercise in the gymnasium. But how will this help your foot? A visit was more than just a leisure activity – it was about putting your faith in Asklepios. Your prayers in the temple were to give worship and ask for help. You'd then sleep in a special chamber called the abaton. While you slept, it was believed you'd be visited and cured by Asklepios himself, or by his daughters Panacea and Hygeia. If you had dream visions, a priest of Asklepios could interpret them and suggest a treatment. Did it work? Look closely at the model – can you see the stones in front of the temple? They have inscriptions from grateful patients, suggesting that they believed it worked. If your foot was healed, and you were back on a winning streak, there was another way to give thanks – by leaving a votive offering at the Asklepion – a stone, plaster or wooden carving of your foot.

Almighty Doer of Stuff wrote:What color stands out well on blue? Should I make them yellow? I'll try it.
Red with green and blue with yellow are best avoided since they are the colour pairings that some people are colour blind with. If I were designing a web page I would either make the background a bit darker than that and make the writing white, or light blue; or else I would make the background lighter and keep all the text black, or a dark colour. Contrasts of light and dark are far better than contrasts of opposing colours for people who don't see too well.

Sidekick Andrew – Well, here's one that the internet will no doubt be *very* excited about. Two "comic relief" wrestlers in a comedy gimmick match – this has five star classic written all over it. Of course, sarcasm aside, this could be at least fun – assuming you can sit back and not take wrestling too seriously. It's not been put on to impress with hold and counter hold, insane lucha flips or hardcore bumps – it's put on for the "entertainment" part of sports entertainment and will hopefully fulfill that role adequately.
That said, the obvious choice for this is Santino to win and embarrass Rodriguez again. It's not often that heels will win a match with this kind of stipulation.
Boss Lady Rae: "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun aaaaand SNAP! The job's a game!" Words of wisdom from that great philosopher Mary Poppins there. One of the things we noticed while we took a little break is just how seriously we had started to take wrestling. That's not to say we don't stand by all our more serious points from the past, or that we won't be making serious points again in the near future. But we definitely forgot some of the fun.
This "match" is pure fun and I'm kind of looking forward to it. The crowd love Santino's foolin' and Ricardo's antics over the past few weeks have rivalled his opponent's for laffs. It seems obvious that Santino will win, and I believe he'll win the war. But because I think they'll string this out a little longer, I'll say that Ricardo's got this battle won. If only to reward his wicked Sheamus impression.
Sidekick Andrew – Given more than five minutes, this could be a pretty enjoyable match. Both wrestlers are more than capable of impressing, and we're fans of both here in the Bunker. In fact *ahem* you could say I'm torn between the two…
Anyway, now that unpleasantness is over with, my prediction. Pretty sure Layla is going to keep the title tonight. She's not had it long and there's still mileage in pushing her as champion. If Kharma is on her way back (as indicated on twitter this week) then Beth doesn't need the title just yet as there's (hopefully) a feud on it's way for her.
Boss Lady Rae: I won't lie, the girl crush I developed on Layla before injury sent her packing for a year is back with a vengeance. Chances of me betting against her at the moment are pretty slim, so I won't. Layla will win. I'm definitely not torn between them. *ahem* Having said that, I agree with my colleague. Given more than a couple of minutes this could be a great match. We can but hope.
Sidekick Andrew – I still can't bring myself to get excited about a Christian match. I know people love him, but he just bores me so much. On the other hand, Cody is always great to watch so there's a chance the match should be watchable at least. Honestly, I can't think of much else to say about this one. So I hope you'll accept this photo of Cody eating chicken with a lady as recompense.
Christian's probably going to win this by the way…
Boss Lady Rae: Cody Rhodes has been kind of a revelation lately. I spent years passing him off as dull mid-card fodder. Then the Wrestlemania run-up kicked in and I started warming to him. I lost a lot of the enjoyment I got out of Christian's stories after the hullaballoo following his lost title last year. Hopefully Cody can inject some interest into this one and swipe the belt back.
Sidekick Andrew –
Punk vs Bryan?
Well, we all know how good that can be.
Punk vs Bryan vs Kane?
Hmm… suddenly I'm not so sure about this match.
Punk vs Bryan vs Kane (with added crazy AJ)?
Yep, that'll do!
Is it strange that in a match containing two of the best wrestlers in the world, and one of the best "monsters" in the world, the deciding factor in this one for me is AJ? Rae and myself have spent the last week gushing over how well AJ is playing her character at the moment, questionable "I Dig Crazy Chicks" shirts aside. It really does seem like the role she was born to play, with small details like the way she reacted to the crowd's chants on Monday showing that she's the skill to improvise rather than just being well written.
I'm a big fan of Punk and Bryan, and I'll always have a soft spot for Kane. Adding AJ into the mix is just the stupidly cute cherry on the top. As for a winner? Oh, let's say Punk wins and retains the belt (and hopefully changes it for something more tasteful soon.)
Boss Lady Rae: I've observed some chatter about how sexist AJ's current character apparently is. Trust me. I'm usually the first to jump on this shit. And yeah, it would be lovely if there were more big female characters unconnected to men. (I have an updated Eve piece in the works. Shhh.) But AJ's done such a brilliant job of playing the lunatic ex-girlfriend, it's lovely to see a well developed female character, regardless of the situation.
The 4-way banter between Punk, Bryan, Kane and AJ on this week's Raw was brilliant and long may it continue. I'm not sure why Kane has become involved with this story beyond adding an extra string to its creative bow, but I'm pretty sure he isn't winning any titles tonight. Keep the title on Punk's waist and keep this thing going. I flippin' love it.
Sidekick Andrew – It shouldn't be any surprise which of these two wrestlers is my favourite. Sheamus is (kind of) local, talented, surprisingly huge and with a charisma and look that stand him apart from the rest of the roster. But he's no Dolph Ziggler…
Straight as I am, no man can make me swoon like Dolph comes out to the ring. I Am Perfection? Yes you are sir, yes you are. We've been singing his praises for what seems like years now at Wrestlegasm, and he hasn't lost any of his appeal, even if he did lose some momentum along the way. Back in the title picture due to Del Rio's unfortunate concussion, I'm going to predict that Ziggler will be the (perhaps unlikely) winner tonight. There is precedent for last minutes replacements to win titles on PPV with Johnny Nitro taking the title in a match with Punk after Benoit did, well… you know. Plus Ziggler deserves a second title run, and one that lasts slightly longer than 11 minutes and 23 seconds.
Boss Lady Rae: This is by far the most tantalising match on the card, and this is a show where Punk and Bryan are going at it again. Sheamus is absolutely on fire at the moment, which is nice to see considering he spent the best part of a year in the doldrums. We're also delirious that Dolph Ziggler, our top bloke of 2011, is getting a title shot. He's more than paid his dues in the mid-card and he's long overdue another jump to the top. I suppose he has Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton to thank for this one, but it's not how opportunities arise, it's what you do with them when you get them. I think Sheamus is keeping the title for now, but the idea these two might get a long title run out of someone else's misfortune is absolutely delicious. YUM!
Sidekick Andrew – This is unfortunately another match that I'm struggling to get excited about. I'm not a Cena hater like a lot of people, but he needs someone great to go against, and Big Show just isn't that great.
The added stipulations would seem to suggest that Cena is winning this. Certainly Laurinitis getting fired makes more sense that Cena getting fired. Except for the fact that Cena getting fired is about as permanent as Superman dying or me deciding to stop eating bacon sandwiches for breakfast. Add in the fact that Cena is going through a divorce at the moment and this could end up being a chance for him to take some much deserved time off.
What I'm positive we will see is one of Cenas patented feats of strength. I wouldn't be surprised if Laurinitis or Otunga gets involved at some point, and I also wouldn't be surprised if Cena manages to get Big Show and Otunga/Laurinitis up for a double Attitude Adjustment. I'm going to go with Big Show winning this one, although I'm conscious that betting against Cena is always a bad idea.
Boss Lady Rae: It's no secret that John Cena's been having a tough time lately. A little light relief was in order and, honestly, there's nothing to be taken less seriously than a run with Big Show. If you like Big Show as a face, hang on a few months and he'll turn into a happy chappy. Like him as a heel? Hold out a little while and he'll be the black-bearded bad guy again. It's all veh silly.
The stipulation that would leave Laurinaitis out of a job is the basis of this whole story and, with Vince back on the scene this week and HHH showing up tomorrow, it would seem pretty likely that John Cena's got this one in the kitbag. Dude, you never bet against Cena.
