How Pittsburgh and Georgia Met in the 1977 Sugar Bowl
Bear Bryant, as unselfish as he was in helping weld the support necessary for the SEC-Sugar Bowl tie-up, made a last plea after the Penn State game to open all the bowls, to let them all compete for the best match. His argument was parallel to the one the Mid-Winter Sports Association had made for years. But no one really listened. "What I'm for is all bowls to open up for everybody, nobody have a tie-up," said Bryant, who was also opposed to the voting of national champions after bowls. "If we are going to stay with the polls," he stated, "take it out of the bowls. It puts too much pressure when bowls are used for it. It takes all the fun out of the bowls."
Voters would continue to decide the national champion after postseason games because the general public enjoys seeing grand matches with something riding on the outcome. Instead of decreasing the number of bowl tie-ups, there would be an increase. The SEC presidents, after studying the Sugar Bowl's proposal, approved it.
On March 3, 1976, after 42 years of infatuation, spats, and courtship, the SEC and Sugar Bowl were finally hitched. "We think it will be a very popular move," said Harry M. England, who had succeeded Cliff Kern as Sugar Bowl president. "We recognize that the SEC has been a very contributing factor in the Sugar Bowl for many years. Unofficially it has been almost a partner."
With what England called the Sugar Bowl's "new arsenal of weapons" – the tie-up and the Superdome – the Mid-Winter Sports Association also believed it was time to call an end to the experiment with a New Year's Eve playing date. The December 31 date was a failure because the traditional celebrations interfered and further, there was drop-off in eastern press coverage because of early deadlines on newspaper holiday runs. ABC agreed, and the Sugar Bowl petitioned the NCAA for a return to its New Year's playing date. "We hope it will be a mere formality," said England. "We tried New Year's Eve for four years and found it was not the best time to hold a football game."
The NCAA approved the request, not only putting the Sugar Bowl back on New Year's Day, but also creating two questions for sports trivia buffs: What year was there not a Sugar Bowl? The answer is 1976, since the December 31, 1975, game would be followed by a January 1, 1977, game. The companion question is, of course: In what year were there two Sugar Bowls? The switch to New Year's Eve had made possible a game on January 1, 1972, and another on December 31, 1972.
These significant changes were taking place without Joe Katz, who resigned as executive director of the Mid-Winter Sports Association shortly after the Alabama-Penn State game. Katz wanted to pursue other business ventures. A search committee was formed to find his successor, the third director of the Sugar Bowl.
The 1976 SEC season was wild and woolly, and there was a certain irony in that the first year of the tie-up, after an unyielding five-year hold on the throne by Alabama, the conference had a horse race. This was also evident elsewhere; as late as November 1 it appeared that of the nonaligned bowl berths, only 2nd-ranked Pittsburgh in the Orange Bowl looked definite.
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was also the team New Orleans wanted and, for the first time in a long while, all the Sugar Bowl's resources were going to be used to get a favored team. Coach Johnny Major's Panthers were more than just very good. Pittsburgh featured an extraordinary runner, Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett. He was college football's all-time ground gainer with 6,082 yards. The Panthers also had an underrated but suffocating defense. Uppermost in Majors' mind was playing the best opponent he could find, an opponent whose defeat would push the Panthers to No. 1, or solidify that position if it were achieved beforehand.
ABC helped overcome the difference in money between the Orange and Sugar Bowls by putting the Panther-West Virginia game on regional television, which was perfectly legal and ethical, though some other bowl officials squirmed. It wasn't as if Pitt didn't belong on TV. "The opponent is more important than the money," said sources at Pitt. "The main goal is the best way of getting No. 1"
Pittsburgh rose to No. 1 after Purdue defeated Michigan early in November. A week later, Iowa State assured the Orange Bowl of a host with at least two losses when it whipped Nebraska and put the Big Eight in a five-way first-place tie. At the same time, 4th-ranked Georgia emerged as the Southeastern Conference champion and the highest-ranking available opponent for the Panthers. The Panthers voted to play in New Orleans against the 10-1 Bulldogs.
Georgia won the SEC championship on the merits of a ball-control offense and an effective defensive unit called the "Junkyard Dogs." The dedication of the defense was reflected in a supreme sacrifice of the 1970s – shaved heads – a symbol that so inspired Georgians that Coach Vince Dooley shaved his head, too. Ironically, Majors built Pitt from a 6-5-1 team to 11-0 in four years, and the first game his seniors had played was a 7-7 tie with Georgia.
"The winner of the Rose Bowl (between USC and Michigan) is the national champion," said Trojan Coach John Robinson of his 2nd-ranked team,"and the hell with the rest of them. If we win, we're going into the dressing room and declare ourselves unanimous national champions." His Rose Bowl rival, Bo Schembechler of the No. 3 Wolverines, chimed in, "I can hardly believe that Pitt could beat Southern Cal, and if we beat them we're going to claim the national championship."
Majors was incredulous, pointing out that USC's 21-point loss to Missouri was a pretty wide margin for a national contender. "That's the most ridiculous farce ever perpetrated," said Majors. "If Georgia beats us, they'd have more of a claim than Michigan or Southern Cal."
Pitt raised two questions in the public's mind, neither of which had anything to do with its ability. The first was how the loss of Coach Majors would affect the Panthers' bowl effort. Bill Battle resigned from the University of Tennessee, and Majors leaped at the opportunity to return to his alma mater after this last game. The second question was how Majors' treat-'em-like-men attitude would hold up.
Majors gave his team of mostly seniors run of the town until just a couple of days before the game. He wouldn't have done it, he said, with a less-mature team. This team could handle it. The gesture was in keeping with the coach's personality.
Twenty years before, when Majors' fumble was instrumental in Baylor's 13-7 upset of Tennessee, Johnny recalled, "I went out and partied. I wasn't feeling too good, but I knew back then you'd always have to take the bad with the good. I remember I stayed up all night, drove to Mobile, and was at practice for the Senior Bowl the next afternoon."
While the press wondered about the Panthers prowling the French Quarter, Dooley fretted about them prowling the Superdome. A lot of attention was given Dorsett, who gained a single-season record 1,948 yards as a senior; but the Georgia coach knew that in order to stop Dorsett he had to contain multitalented quarterback Matt Cavanaugh. If the Georgia defense was on the field too long, Dooley knew he was in trouble.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Like plants, the varieties and uses are nearly limitless. But the alchemy of essential oils needn't be an esoteric mystery.
Although there are hundreds of oils, all you need to create the following natural, indulgent spa treatments and healthy home essentials are calming lavender, uplifting lemon, revitalizing eucalyptus, and invigorating peppermint.

Spa Essentials
Lavender-Vanilla Bath Oil
A soothing bath oil, perfect for unwinding before bed.
Infusion Time: 4 to 6 weeks
2 fresh, plump vanilla bean pods
5 ounces organic macadamia or kukui nut oil
9 drops lavender essential oil
To prepare a vanilla infusion, lightly wash vanilla bean pods and pat dry. Allow them to dry overnight, then roll them with your fingers into a bean shape. Gently split them open with a sharp knife and mash them lightly with a spoon.
Pour macadamia or kukui nut oil into a small, airtight glass jar or bottle; place the mashed vanilla bean pods inside. Allow the vanilla essence to infuse the oil for 4 to 6 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.
After infusing, strain the oil into a container with a lid. Kept refrigerated, it will last up to six months.
To prepare a bath, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vanilla infusion and 9 drops of lavender essential oil to a tub of warm water. Agitate the water before entering the tub.
Eucalyptus Herbal Vapor
A fragrant, centering treatment that stimulates many senses. It also helps clarify the skin and relieves respiratory congestion.
1 handful of loose green-tea leaves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
1 handful each of dried organic rosebuds and
Dried organic chamomile flowers
4 drops eucalyptus essential oil
1 handful of kaffir lime leaves, fresh (optional)
Place tea leaves, nutmeg, and coriander seeds in a large French press, coffee pot, or teapot. Cover with boiling water and let steep for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat water to steaming but not boiling, enough to fill a large bowl halfway.
After steeping, press or strain the tea and herbs, then pour the tea into the steaming water. Add rosebuds and chamomile flowers, then add eucalyptus essential oil. Float a handful of fresh lime leaves on top of the water.
Drape a fluffy towel over your head and lean over the bowl, creating a tent for steaming. Breathe the vapors in through your nose and out through your mouth. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
Sugar-Marmalade Body Buff
A skin-smoothing, uplifting wake-up for a morning shower.
Infusion Time: 1 week
1 1/2 cups raw, organic sugar
1/2 cup coarsely ground organic whole oats
2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Zest of 1 small orange and 1 small lemon
45 drops lemon essential oil
2 tablespoons warmed honey
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
In a large bowl, combine sugar, oats, ginger, and the zests. Place half of the mixture in a large jar. Add lemon essential oil, then the remaining mixture. Cap, shake well, and allow to mature for one week, shaking occasionally.
For the scrub, combine the honey and sweet almond oil in a measuring cup. Drizzle the mixture into the sugar and oats. If it's too grainy, add more oil; if it's runny, add sugar.
Apply the scrub to wet skin, starting at the feet and working up. Use a circular motion toward your heart. Since scrubbing and heat can increase the absorption of essential oils, use warm, but not hot, water.
Yogi's Foot Reprieve
A cooling, energizing soak for tired feet.
1 cup sea, mineral, and/or Epsom salts
1/4 cup baking soda
45 drops peppermint essential oil
1/2 pound fresh lemongrass, sliced
Several sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped
2 crushed cardamom pods
In a medium-size jar, combine salts, baking soda, and peppermint essential oil. Cover and shake well. In a French press, coffee pot, or teapot, combine fresh lemongrass, chopped fresh thyme, and crushed cardamom pods. Cover with boiling water and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large bowl or basin halfway with warm water. Press or strain the herbs, then add the liquid and 2 to 3 teaspoons of the salts to the basin. Swirl water, then immerse feet for 10 minutes. Since salt water is dehydrating, sip water or herbal tea as you relax.
Lavender-Rose Sweet Water Mist
A light mist to keep clothing and linens smelling fresh.
4 ounces rose hydrosol (available at natural-foods stores)
1 ounce distilled water
1 tablespoon 150- to 190-proof alcohol, such as brandy,
unflavored vodka, or grain alcohol
10 drops vegetable glycerin
45 drops lavender essential oil
In a small spray mister, combine hydrosol, water, alcohol, vegetable glycerin, and lavender essential oil. Cover and shake well to blend.
Use this spray to lightly mist clothing and linens before ironing, before winter storage to repel moths and other insects, and before bedtime to promote rest and relaxation. Always shake before using.
Limoncello Wood Polish
A fragrant, beeswax-based polish that restores luster and shine to natural wood furniture (not for use on varnished wood).
2 cups olive oil
3 tablespoons beeswax, grated
25 to 35 drops lemon essential oil
In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl resting atop a pot), bring 3 to 4 cups of water to a low simmer in the lower pot. To the top pot or bowl, add olive oil and beeswax.
Stir until melted, then test the consistency; dip a spoon into the wax mixture, place it in the freezer for a minute or two, then remove it. It should be the texture of a lip balm or salve; if it's too soft, add more beeswax, a pinch at a time, until it reaches this consistency.
Remove from heat and add lemon essential oil; the number of drops will depend on how strong a fragrance you prefer. Put the wax mixture in a heat-safe glass jar and let cool before capping.
To clean natural-wood surfaces and furniture, dab a small amount of the polish onto a dry cloth and gently buff surfaces to a shine. (Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.)
Minty Pest Repellent
A simple, nontoxic way to deter ants, fleas, flies, and mice.
3 to 4 drops peppermint essential oil
Organic cotton balls
Simply drop 3 to 4 drops peppermint essential oil onto a fluffy, organic cotton ball and allow to dry.
Tuck the aromatic puffs into corners of drawers, cupboards, bookshelves, closets, and anywhere else bugs and rodents may like to hide. Additional cotton puffs scented with lavender essential oil may be added for extra fragrance and pest-repelling effects. Cotton balls can be re-scented weekly.
Germ-Buster Scrub and Shine
A deodorizing disinfectant scrub for cleaning kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
3/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup borax
3 tablespoons liquid castile soap
1 tablespoon white vinegar
35 drops eucalyptus essential oil (or 20 drops eucalyptus and 15 drops lemon oil)
In a small bowl combine all ingredients to form a paste; store in a sealed container. For cleaning, dab the paste on a dampened sponge and apply it to the tub, sink, shower, or countertops; rinse with fresh water or wipe surfaces with a clean, damp sponge or rag.
Pure essential oils are generally blended with other ingredients, as in our spa recipes, or mixed with an equal or greater amount of a food-grade "carrier" oil before being used on the skin.
Although different uses call for different carrier oils, many experts recommend using sweet almond or apricot-kernel oil. Warning: Essential oils are not for internal use. They can be very harmful if ingested.
Before using an essential oil, mix it with a carrier oil and do a patch test: Place a drop in the crook of your arm, close your arm, and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then check for irritation. (If this occurs, dab with vegetable oil, then wash the area with soap and water.) If irritation occurs, do not use the oil.
Essential oils can have powerful effects on the body, so if you are pregnant, have a health condition, or take medication, it's a good idea to check with your health practitioner before using them.
Essential oils evaporate readily and don't hold up well to heat, so they should be tightly capped and refrigerated or stored in a cool spot. If bottles are not a light-blocking color, place them in a covered box.
How do you know whether an essential oil is as potent as the hearty plant it came from? It depends largely on the distiller's and manufacturer's skills, but there are other factors to consider, too.
Your best bet for buying quality essential oils (and carrier oils) is to shop at trusted natural-foods stores, natural health and beauty stores, or reputable online purveyors and to follow these guidelines:
Pick the right packaging. Light can damage essential oils, so bottles should be a light-blocking color such as amber. Essential oils can deteriorate plastic and dissolve rubber, so choose glass containers and bottles with rubber droppers. It's best to keep droppers entirely separate.
Avoid "nature identical" oils and "oil of" products for aromatherapy and home use. These terms can mean the product is a dilution or "synthetic fragrance" without the therapeutic properties of the essential oil.
Be aware that prices vary. An ounce of exotic rose oil can cost several hundred dollars, while the same amount of orange oil goes for around $10. If all of a company's oils are the same price, they're probably synthetic.
Look for Latin names. Many plants, including eucalyptus and lavender, have multiple species with different scents and sometimes different benefits. To help you make the distinction, manufacturers should list the Latin names of their oils.
Become familiar with the way an essential oil looks and smells. Color, clarity, viscosity, and scent are clues to an oil's quality.

Christophe Tack and Gisela Pulido won the single elimination of the PKRA Dakhla Kiteboard World Cup in strong blustery winds. Today's results play a crucial role in tomorrow's double elimination as an early exit in the singles creates a long climb up the ladder to earn a top finish.
Overcast skies and strong wind set the tone for a chilly day of competition. With anticipation running high after two lay-days for the freestyle riders, challenging heats worthy of winner's finals kicked off round one.
From the first heats on, riders riders were using 7m to 10m kites. Marc Jacobs began stomping his way through heats with his usual go-big style eventually beating out Aaron Hadlow in the highest scoring heat of the day (35.27.) Alex Neto reached the losers final with impressive execution and low kite position but finally gave way to the determined Hadlow earning fourth place.
Tack got off to a solid start early in the day eliminating Youri Zoon in the second round despite Zoon's highest powerful riding and impressive Blind Judge 5 (7.87) which scored highest for the day. Continuing on his charge, Tack won against Speissberger and Neto with a strong arsenal of double passes and technical toe-side tricks, including the Crow Mobe 5 and Pete Rose.
About the finals Tack said "I came out of the water angry thinking that I lost against Marc. It was really hard to edge and get the right pop because the current was moving the same direction as the wind and it was so much different than in my earlier heats, but yeah, I was super stoked when I found out that I won."
In the women's division, Annabel Van Westerop beat out Bruna Kajiya who was unable to land a fifth trick before the buzzer giving up the third spot to the deserving Van Westerop. The winners final saw Karolina Winkowska landing some powerful tricks including an S1, Slim Chance and Front Blind, however it was Pulido whose variety and technicality that earned her the win.
Pulido said "I'm really happy how I am riding here, because I wasn't really feeling well in Panama. Here I got to show some of what I have been training on over the winter. I landed a Crow Mobe in my heat today and was happy with that, but it wasn't as good as I can do them.
Tomorrow's double elimination will allow riders one more opportunity to advance up the ladder. A favorable forecast continues and riders will meet at 10 am with a first possible start of the double elimination at 11am. For additional information, log on to www.prokitetour.com. Be sure to stay tuned to the Facebook and Twitter feeds for start times, updates, and all the latest info from the PKRA World Tour.

Update: 2:45 p.m. - Meeting resumes
Katie Orr has tweeted that the UC Regents meeting has resumed and that Napolitano has accepted the postion.
Janet Napolitano prepares to leave her confirmation hearing.
Original post:
The U.C. Board of Regents meeting to appoint Janet Napolitano as the new University President was disrupted this afternoon by protestors. Capital Public Radio's Katie Orr reports the board allowed the students to speak and that they asked for the search for a president to be re-opened.
Orr says the regents called a recess, upon which police declared an unlawful assembly and began arresting students, one of whom was chanting, "Don't deport my family." Napolitano recently resigned as head of the National Homeland Security Director.

Bell: Savvy teams may pick from second tier of quarterbacks
Take your pick. Johnny Manziel. Teddy Bridgewater. Blake Bortles.
Or none of the above.
For all off the buzz and varying opinions about the three top-rated quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL draft — all widely projected to be selected in the first round — the best value mighty come after the Day 1 picks.
How second-tier quarterbacks such as Fresno State's Derek Carr, Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo and LSU's Zach Mettenberger come off the board might be just as important.
GOOD AUDITION:Mettenberger alleviates health concerns at pro day
It's no wonder that ESPN analyst Jon Gruden gushed on-air Thursday about Georgia's Aaron Murray.
"He'll be the steal of the draft for somebody," Gruden exclaimed.
If Murray, like Mettenberger coming off a torn ACL, isn't the steal then perhaps it will be Alabama's AJ McCarron or Pittsburgh's Tom Savage.
"Of the entire class, maybe three of them will develop into solid NFL quarterbacks," ESPN analyst Todd McShay told USA TODAY Sports. "But it doesn't always work out that the best are the first three."
Six of the teams positioned in the top eight slots of the draft are in the mix to select a quarterback — Houston, Jacksonville, Cleveland, Oakland, Minnesota and even Tampa Bay.
Yet with the overall talent pool considered the deepest in years, it might be wiser to land a safer, more promising player at another position before choosing a hit-or-miss signal-caller in the second round or beyond.
Whether the quarterback run begins early or late in the first round will provide an intriguing subplot to this year's draft.
The Browns are best-positioned with multiple first-round picks (fourth, 26th).
The temptation will be to pull the trigger on a quarterback with the fourth pick. McShay has Cleveland selecting Central Florida's Bortles — conveniently compared to Ohio native Ben Roethlisberger because of his size and arm strength.
Bridgewater, meanwhile, entered the draft process deemed as the most NFL-ready quarterback in the crop. A less-than-impressive pro day seemingly affected his stock more than normal — if the rankings by analysts reflect the opinions of the teams.
McShay says Bridgewater, the Louisville product, "is still the most consistent," which must count for something — even amid concerns about his slight frame.
Manziel is the undeniable wild card. There are so many questions about whether his scrambling style will translate to the NFL. But it would be a stunner if he lasted past the halfway mark of the first round considering his exciting upside.
Roger Staubach, the Dallas Cowboys icon, told the NFL Network this week that if he were in the position of the Houston Texans and picking No. 1 overall, he would select Manziel over Jadeveon Clowney.
Staubach likened Manziel, slightly shorter than 6-0, to Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson.
Which reminds us. The Seattle Seahawks drafted Wilson in the third round in 2012, after five other quarterbacks had already been taken.
Nick Foles, who lit up the league last season in Chip Kelly's offense with the Eagles, was nabbed by Philadelphia 13 picks after Wilson.
In 2011 — the year Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder joined No. 1 pick Cam Newton in the first round — Cincinnati landed Andy Dalton and San Francisco grabbed Colin Kaepernick with second-round picks. Locker, Gabbert and Ponder have a combined 27 regular-season victories. Dalton and Kaepernick, meanwhile, have 47 combined and are already playoff regulars.
This is an era when young quarterbacks can get on the field quickly — and the draft status matters only so much.

Store boxes, pink slip and office decorations in basement. Send mass e-mail to colleagues, read overwhelming outpouring of sympathy; cry, laugh, strategize carefully. Design and launch new website, order business cards and custom Post-its, and continue to spread and receive good karma. Yield: a new business venture, several interviews and four consulting jobs.
On a Friday in November, I approached the door to my office and mentally outlined my morning priorities. The office manager greeted me, saying that my boss would like to see me first thing in her office. I kept my coat on as I put down my briefcase, walked down the hallway and knocked on her door.
In 20 minutes, it was essentially all over. My position as associate director of education and public programs at Save Ellis Island in New Jersey was being eliminated. I was being laid off effective immediately, our COO and my boss told me at 9:15 a.m. I signed some papers, turned in my keys and ID, and cleaned out my office.
I personally sought out each staff member and said thank you and goodbye in a positive and graceful manner. My family always told me if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This looked to be as good a time as any to start. If you are the giver of the lemons, please remember to say thank you to your employees and let them go early in the week so they can start looking into unemployment and other assistance programs the next business day.
Once I got over the shock, next came anger and tears. I needed to be upset for a little while, but then I realized all my negative energy was not getting me where I wanted to go. If you are in this situation, go ahead and complain, mourn, be angry, cry—but then send out positive and happy signals to the universe and rise above the bad vibes.
Suddenly there were many forms to fill out, phone numbers and new e-mail addresses and websites on which to register. I started to compile notes and to-do lists in a new notebook dedicated to this phase of my life: heat assistance, food stamps and documentation of my filing for unemployment. The notebook helped me stay focused and organized, since most of my professional career was now in boxes in my basement.
My Rolodex is just a model or two beyond the original version created in 1958. It was the first thing I put in my box as I packed up my office. At first I was embarrassed to tell people I had been laid off, especially after receiving a national award six months earlier. But I decided I needed to send a mass e-mail to my contacts to let them know what happened, provide new contact information and see if anyone had leads on jobs. If you use a computer system for your contacts, print it out or download it once a week to another source. Employers, please let your employees have at least a half hour of supervised computer time before you shut off their access so they can pull out contacts.
That impersonal e-mail landed me not only an incredible outpouring of sympathy from my friends and colleagues but one definite consulting job and another possible one. Those replies kept me connected to the museum community even though my world had been overturned. (I actually wouldn't be writing this column if I hadn't been vocal about my situation.)
Here's my advice: Start planning now for your layoff. Since we can't predict the future, hopefully you have been saving money from your paycheck each month, meeting new people and maintaining professional contacts. Think about postponing your vacation; you could be paid for your unused vacation days if you get laid off—there's a little unexpected money you'll need sooner or later.
If you qualify for unemployment, file ASAP. At first I was ashamed to look into heating/utility payment assistance, food stamps and other programs like these. But that's what the programs are there for. Tell people you are out of work: I got offered a job by the person in the next chair when I went to get my hair cut, and a supermarket checkout clerk suggested I give him copies of my resume, since he sees lots of people over the course of the day. You never know where the next job will be or who will help you find it.
Thanks to telling my yoga class that I was out of work, I am now working part-time in the office of a friend's furniture store. I'm not switching careers to sell or place orders for beautiful leather sectionals, but I am finding ways to apply my interpersonal skills and I'm learning new ones, like the computer program Quickbooks.
Transitions are part of the process. I'm getting used to a different pace to my days and work schedule. Talking to new and former mentors has helped me stay focused and given me a boost. Unfortunately there are more colleagues out there than we think who have lost their jobs. Perhaps you know some of them—please reach out to them and spend some time with them. Your reaching out sends the signal that our colleagues haven't forgotten us. Staying connected is harder when you're not working full time in a museum.
While I am looking for another full-time museum job, I decided to start my own consulting business. I picked up some new clients thanks to word of mouth, my contacts and my new website. Think about ways you could reinvent yourself in the museum world or otherwise. Maybe there is another type of job altogether or an angle within the museum world you'd like to explore.
How will museums fare once the crisis passes? What will reduced hours, job and program cuts, and other changes to museums mean for how we serve the public, how the public views and supports us, and how we view ourselves? I'm not sure. I do know that museums can show others how to make the best of a bad situation. Whether you're the one still employed with the increased workload or the one who got laid off, assess your situation and show the world how to make something bad into something good.

W.H.: Biden forced Obama's hand
For President Barack Obama and his team, the decision to back gay marriage came down to a choice between two unpalatable alternatives: Support it and brave the backlash in battleground states where the issue could be a liability — or keep silent and be accused by allies of gutlessness and putting politics over principle.
Administration officials said the president planned to announce his support before the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., this September. But they acknowledge that Vice President Joe Biden did, indeed, force their hand.
Story Continued Below
The claims about timing contradict senior Democrats and some Obama campaign officials who have said that Obama was undecided about making an announcement before the election to avoid losing religiously conservative swing voters in states like North Carolina, Ohio and Colorado.
( Also on POLITICO: Pols cheer, knock gay marriage news)
Obama's famous "evolution" on the issue ended about three months ago, they say, after Obama pondered the courage of New York state lawmakers in passing their marriage equality law. This, even though the New York action happened six months before.
Senior officials, speaking under the ground rules of not providing direct quotations, said the political impact of the decision was entirely unpredictable, but that the issue isn't likely to be a major factor in November's general election result.
They also said most voters already assume Obama supports gay and lesbian nuptials, blunting the impact of the decision.
They refused to answer detailed questions about the specifics of Obama's deliberations — or how he overcame his religious concerns, as a Christian, with gay marriage. Around a half-dozen top Obama advisers have been deliberating the timing of making the announcement and planned to do it over the summer.
( PHOTOS: Celebrity tweets on gay marriage)
In the end, people close to the president say, it wasn't a close call: The core of their argument against Mitt Romney is that he is an untrustworthy politician with no real core of conviction. Obama's advisers — who are acutely conscious of the media's criticism despite their professed contempt for the news cycle — simply couldn't afford to have the president appear like a coward on the front and editorial pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, according to senior Democrats.
If Biden's comments were the catalyst for Wednesday's historic announcement, Jay Carney was the immediate trigger, officials said. The White House press secretary took a serious drubbing on Monday when reporters all but accused the White House of cowardice on the issue.
Obama made his announcement to save Carney, an official joked.
And so the president took the final step Wednesday in his "evolving" views of a major gay rights issue.

KIEV (Reuters) - Protests in eastern Ukraine in which pro-Russian activists seized public buildings in three cities are part of a plan to destabilize Ukraine and bring in Russian troops, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Monday.
Saying Russian troops were within a 30 km (19 mile) zone from the Ukrainian border, Yatseniuk told a government meeting: "An anti-Ukrainian plan is being put into operation ... under which foreign troops will cross the border and seize the territory of the country.
"We will not allow this," he said.
Pro-Russian protesters in the east seized official buildings in three cities - Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk - on Sunday night, demanding that referendums be held on whether to join Russia.
A similar move preceded a Russia-backed takeover of Crimea in March followed by annexation of the peninsula by Russia.
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said on Monday the main regional administration building in Kharkiv had been cleared of "separatists".
But police said protesters occupying the state security building in Luhansk had seized weapons and highway police had closed off roads into the city.
"Unknown people who are in the building have broken into the building's arsenal and have seized weapons," a police statement said. Nine people had been hurt in the disturbances in Luhansk.
Mainly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine has seen a sharp rise in tension since Moscow-backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich's overthrow in February and the advent of an interim government in Kiev that wants closer ties with Europe.
Russia has branded the new leadership in Kiev illegitimate and has annexed Ukraine's Crimea region, citing threats to its Russian-speaking majority - a move that caused the biggest standoff between Moscow and the West since the end of the Cold War.
The protesters appeared to be responding in part to Yanukovich, who fled to Russia after he was ousted and who on March 28 issued a public call for each of Ukraine's regions to hold a referendum on its status inside the country.
Separately, Ukraine's defense ministry said a Russian marine had shot and killed a Ukrainian naval officer in Crimea on Sunday night.
The 33-year-old officer, who was preparing to leave Crimea, was shot twice in officers' quarters in the locality of Novofedorovka. It was not clear why the Russian marine had opened fire.
Yatseniuk said that though much of the unrest had died down in eastern Ukraine in the past month there remained about 1,500 "radicals" in each region who spoke with "clear Russian accents" and whose activity was being coordinated through foreign intelligence services.
But he said Ukrainian authorities had drawn up a plan to handle the crisis.
"We have a clear action plan," he said, adding that senior officials would head to the towns concerned.
Avakov on Sunday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of orchestrating the "separatist disorder" and promised that disturbances would be brought under control without violence.
Russia has been pushing internationally a plan proposing the "federalization" of Ukraine in which regions of the country of 46 million would have broad powers of autonomy.
Ukraine, while drawing up its own blueprint of constitutional changes for 'de-centralization' in which smaller municipalities would be able to develop their own areas by retaining a portion of state taxes raised, says the Russian plan is aimed at breaking up the country.
Referring to the Russian plan, Yatseniuk said: "It is an attempt to destroy Ukrainian statehood, a script which has been written in the Russian Federation, the aim of which is to divide and destroy Ukraine and turn part of Ukraine into a slave territory under the dictatorship of Russia," he said.
"This is not going to happen," he said.
"I appeal to the people and the elites of the east. Our common responsibility is to preserve the country and I am sure that no-one wants to be under a neighboring country. We have our country. Let's keep it," he said.

Here's a nice write-up by friend of the show and running shoes 14 guest Pete Larson. ?Much appreciated!
As you all know from the podcast, I had some problems with my calf muscle.? It prevented me from running since it felt like my leg was ripping apart.? So, being a fan of Brandon from , I knew that he used a coach from PRS-Fit to help him with his running for triathlons.? I contacted Coach Jeff on Twitter first, asking him about my problem.? He had me email him the events leading up to the injury to get a better diagnosis.? Here was his response,best asics running shoes,On Running Styles – Information from Other Bloggers Geeks in Running oni, hope it helps everyone as much as it helped me!
Hi Jason
Yep sounds like you have what is a very typical calf strain for runners that are new to forefoot running. It also sounds to me like you may be toeing off too hard and that caused the first strain,running shoes 49 – One Year in Review Geeks in Running onitsuka tiger onitsuka tiger onitsuka tiger shoesrunning shoes 11 – Enter Iron Brandon G. Remember forefoot is not toe. A lot of people make that mistake initially and push off the toe as well.
When you begin forefoot or better, natural running form you begin to engage more muscles in the lower part of the leg, calf and Achilles especially. Therefore the transition should be a slow one. Have you watched the forefoot drills video on our website . These drills should be practiced everyday until natural running is second nature again like when you were a child. I should say I am not a barefoot advocate. But I am a big believer in the advantages of natural/forefoot running and of course a big Newton fan/
The motion is one of popping your foot off hot coals when you run. The forward lean is from the ankles much like a ski jumper, not the waist. Push you elbows back lean from the ankles and keep your feet below your center of gravity. Make your focus light fast feet, with fast turnover much like a cyclist. Strive to achieve 22-25 left foot strikes per 15 seconds in order to develop foot speed. All theses things help you become more efficient and faster.
Do you have a foam roller? If so use it daily on the calf, quad IT band. You may also want to try some compression sleeves on the lower leg. I use them and swear by them as do most who have tried them. You can go to our site and click on Zensah logo. If you use this code prs50 it will get you a 50% discount.
I hope this is of some help?
Be Healthy, Train Smart, Have Fun
Everyone is different, but like I said, hopefully this may help some of you out there trying fore-foot running to keep from getting injured in the first place.? Injuries suck.

What's in a name? When I first heard of the new off-broadway show entitled ALTAR BOYZ my first thought was, "here we go; a catholic bashing spectacle." But after doing some research, I took a leap of faith and decided to see the show. To my surprise, it proved to be anything but anti-catholic. After getting used to its silly "premise", I began to listen to the lyrics and they were actually pro-Catholic! A positive catholic role model was presented by the composers and lyricists. It might be all in how one views the production; however I perceived a group of vital, faith-filled men on that stage. Is the show appropriate for everyone? Not necessarily. Best described as a "Catholic N'Sync", I believe that the target audience begins with the kids in eighth grade and is appropriate for adults that enjoy pop music. Will adults "get into it"? Those that have seen the production seem to quite a bit.
Bottom line for most people is that it cannot be THAT good; there must be something that is problematic. Well for some that might be. The most obvious is the character of Mark, a young man with a sexual identity issue. At least the problem is obvious to us, not him. This is shown in the song that he sings in the show where he proudly professes that he is a practicing Catholic! There is tongue in cheek humor, some double entendres but ultimately the message comes across loud and clear. A life of faith, brotherhood, community, loving and hope id what we all need.
After taking a small group of parishioners to see the show, I took their advice and sponsored a trip for my youth group. The kids almost immediately wanted to know when we could organize a return trip so they could invite their friends. Since the recording has been released, the kids' parents are surprised that this is the only thing on their iPods and cd players.
I feel compelled to recommend this show to all, young and old, who need a spiritual boost. It's great to feel good enough about one's faith that we can laugh at some of the things we do and feel compelled to applaud our Savior. Thank you ALTAR BOYZ for showing me that truly "God put the rhythm in ME."

ALTAR BOYZ, the new musical comedy and critically-acclaimed hit of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, is the hilarious account of a struggling Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy) looking for their big break in the Big Apple.
Hailed as "high-octane entertainment" (TALKIN' BROADWAY), ALTAR BOYZ tells the holy inspiring story of 5 small-town boys—Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham—trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act, including lyrics like "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone," worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple?
With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, ALTAR BOYZ is destined to rock the masses of all denominations!

The ALTAR BOYZ "10 Commandments"
Written By: Kevin Del Aguila, Ken Davenport, Marc Kessler, Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker
1. THOU SHALT NOT PLAY FALSE IDOLS: Yes, the Altar Boyz are stereotypes playing out their assigned roles in the boy-band. However, finding the real people within those roles is key. And though performers must have a sensibility for the humor of the show, do not succumb to the temptation to "camp it up" or overtly wink at the audience. Overemphasizing punch lines, commenting on the material or adding unnecessary shtick only serves to cheapen the characters and undermine the audience's belief in them. Allow the audience to laugh from their observance of the Boyz' honest and sincere behavior; clue them in to the humor as opposed to blatantly pointing it out. The Boyz have big and colorful personalities, but exaggerate them too much and the audience will not buy the fact that they're watching a real boy-band on stage. It's a fine line to walk—between parody and realism—but ultimately, it helps make the show funnier, more interesting and touching.
2. THOU SHALT NOT KILL THE JOKE: Most boy-bands have an "is he gay or isn't he?" member of the group. In Mark's case, the humor comes from the fact that there's really no question whatsoever in the audience's mind about what team he's playing for. And though he may exhibit many stereotypical traits associated with said team, he and all of the other Boyz must remain completely unaware of this fact. They should never question, judge or comment on his behavior. To them, he's just the sweet and happy Mark they've grown up with.
3. REMEMBER THE DISBELIEF AND KEEP IT SUSPENDED: Like religion, the mysterious powers of the Soul Sensor will be believed by some and poo-poo'd by others. But as long as the Boyz believe in it fervently, the audience will go along for the ride. We can assume that in all of their concerts up to this point, the Boyz have always been able to make the Soul Sensor countdown reach zero (they've probably had to perform "Epiphany" a few times, but never the dreaded "Number 918"). Tonight, however, is not like any other night....
4. THOU SHALT HONOR THY SCRIPT AND THY "SCRIPT": Clearly, much of the "concert" that the Boyz perform has been scripted for them. They may "ad lib" here and there, but for the most part, they all know their cues and lines. As the evening progresses, however, the banter becomes more "off the cuff." The closer they get to achieving their goal of zero on the Soul Sensor, the more they have to wing it—by adjusting their set list to play whatever song they think might affect a given audience, or covering for the occasional Luke diatribe or Juan breakdown. Discovering which dialogue is either "rehearsed" or happening in the moment should be a fun task for the actors and director.
5. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT VIBRATO: The vocal sound of Altar Boyz should resemble the pop music aesthetic it's parodying as closely as possible. This means that pretty, musical theater-like vibrato is sacrilege. Straight tones give the harmonies a purer and more radio-friendly, boy-band sound.
6. THOU SHALT COVET THY MTV: Like the vocals, the choreography of Altar Boyz should strive to emulate real boy-band moves and attitude (with some occasional religious iconography thrown in for good measure). Mark is the resident choreographer for the Altar Boyz, which means that the dancing in the show should look as though it was created by someone who grew up intimately familiar with the teachings of both MTV and the Catholic Church. Like everything else in the show, every boy-band cliché should be treated as gospel, just as every traditional religious reference should be embraced as the latest and coolest trend.
7. THOU SHALT NOT CAST THY ACTORS IN VAIN: Performers in Altar Boyz should be able to sing, dance and act (the Holy Trinity of talent). Beyond that, they should be good comedians and possess the right MTV-ready "look" for a boy-band. And though the ages of the Boyz can waiver throughout the 20-something range, in a perfect world Mark would be the youngest member of the group and Luke would most likely be the oldest (probably held back a few years in school). Yet they should all be close enough in ages that it's plausible that they could have served as altar boys together in their pre- to early-teens, or (as in the case of Abe) have been in the same grade in school.
8. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST ABE: Abraham is not a convert or a "Jew for Jesus." Though he sings and writes songs for the group about JC, he is simply obeying God's strange request, while remaining faithful to his Jewish beliefs. Sensitivity to this fact should be kept in mind and reinforced while staging.
9. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVE ATTITUDES: The Boyz might be a tad naïve and unaware of how the audience perceives them, but there is enviable strength to be found in their optimism and passion for their beliefs. Keep them true innocents—loving, joyous and supportive, never bitchy or judgmental. Even in the face of an audience volunteer who refuses to play along....
10. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL: This doesn't really have anything to do with our show. But it's good advice, just the same.
11. THOU SHALT NOT INSERT AN INTERMISSION IN "ALTAR BOYZ": In the beginning, Altar Boyz was created to be performed without an intermission. The creators require that your production be performed in ONE ACT, unless you have received prior written approval from R&H Theatricals.
12. THOU SHALT NOT RECORD THE BANDThe "Raise The Praise": concert tour – like any pop-music concert – features live musicians. The physical presence of the band onstage contributes to creating the feel of a real concert. Under no circumstance may you record the musical accompaniment to Altar Boyz"

Photography, whether at a wedding or in a portrait session, is the art of capturing the moment, savoring that smile, and revisiting those memories. Born and raised in Redding California, what started out as a hobby years ago has become a passion; a passion that I delight in sharing with others. My goal is to capture the people I am photographing in a way that represents who they are. One of my strengths as a photographer is my attention to detail. I want your moment to be captured as if it were my moment. From wedding days to family portraits I would love to help you capture those moments in your life. You will always treasure those moments and it would be my privilege and joy to have that opportunity to help you remember them. I look forward to working with you to make your photo shoot one that is fun, comfortable and exceeds your expectations. ~Justine Wildauer

So, I have been getting flooded with requests to do a lesson on another very popular figure from BioShock and this time it's a hunk of metal. Today I will finally fill the request to make a tutorial on "how to draw Big Daddy", step by step. Here is a few things about this character I didn't know about but I'm sure most of you BioShock fans do. First off, Big Daddy is a name for a series of humans that have been genetically altered to become these massive machines that are armored with heavy duty suits, and a drill like drive spike that is fused with the arm. The design concept for Big Daddies came from the idea of the old diving suits that used to be worn by divers. They are purposely constructed to look like hunks of brass that could totally pass for beings that live under the sea. These guys or figures from BioShock have been with the game series since their first debut. Marketers pumped up Big Daddy so much, when the game was first released, consumers where given a free six inch action figure of Big Daddy was included with the limited edition version of BioShock. Anyways, if you are amongst the many that are fans of this game series you should enjoy learning "how to draw Big Daddy" too. I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun. Adios peeps, and enjoy!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Blanche met Dennis this morning. Just when I was sure I had 2 gay (not that that's a bad thing) bunnies living here for the past 2 years - I finally spotted some offspring. 83,94,59,0,B
Got a great concealed carry holster today from my new friend Austin Davis from http://kangaroocarry.com/ Tried it out with my .40 - that is one comfortable rig.

Could baby bunnies be any cuter? I just want to rub them on their little heads.

maybe all the bunnies could be named Dennis since it may be difficult to tell them apart....like Darrell and his other brother Darrell from the Newhart show. (gosh, where are all of those great show writers!)

Cottontails in the desert! You must have good brush coverage around TFL because I saw very few cottontails out in the Sonoran Desert in AZ. Lots of jackrabbits but few bunnies except in areas along river and creek beds with good brush coverage.

Grothendieck (if it was him) said somewhere :
This XXX, at least, is an idea that will not be used in physics.
Q1 : Is XXX an n-groupoid? a stack? Can someone supply the precise quote, either in French or in English?
Q2: Predecessors of this quote in the same vein would also be of interest. Thank you.

I often have to prepare documents in order to produce saddle stiched booklets, including slitting and trimming. If the customers supplies professional source files (including enough bleed) for a regular ISO size booklet (SRA4/SRA3), everything is pretty straight forward.
But whenever "custom work" is needed (bleedless documents, custom media size, ...), it's getting complicated because I don't have any kind of visual preview in Jobmaster/Impose. That's especially important if I need to scale the document to fit on a certain media size. My finisher (KM SD-513) can only slit between 8 and 25mm, the regular "shrink to fit" option isn't sufficient because it would cause too much of the document's content to be cut away. Therefore I have to calculate an appropriate scale factor for myself, still keeping the configured trimming amount in mind.
My wish would be that Impose should support a visual preview of the job's slitting settings as well as a preview of the expected spline amount.
Same goes for the crease settings. The built in fixed crease positions shoud be displayed as well as custom positions. Free Crease should be configureable within JobMaster instead of using the ruby web application.

Interesting post. The take home message is your last sentence. Food safety is up to us. The USDA only provides a false sense of security.
We recently purchased a whole cow from a local butcher. I'll admit, we didn't ask those questions, but I know the meat all came from the same cow.

This table I found off Craigslist. I bought it together with my Danish floor lamp. Both are originally purchased from House of Denmark. Its made of a different mix of materials, including wood & teak veneer. I love the look of teak wood, the boxy modern shape of the table and how well the lamp and table went together.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #211
See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph;
See the King in royal state,
Riding on the clouds, his chariot,
To his heav'nly palace gate:
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
Joyful Alleluias sing
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heav'nly King.
Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He has gained the victory;
He who on the cross did suffer,
He who from the grave arose,
He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death has spoiled his foes.
Thou hast raised our human nature
In the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heav'nly places,
There with thee in glory stand:
Jesus reigns, adored by angels,
Man with God is on the throne;
Mighty Lord, in thine ascension
We by faith behold our own.

First Lady, Panetta to Unveil Spouse Employment Report
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Tuesday, 14 February 2012 06:44
- Last Updated: Tuesday, 14 February 2012 06:44
- Written by Administrator
The report outlines opportunities and best practices for states to better support military spouses serving in professions with state licensure requirements, according to a White House news release.
The report notes that military spouses move from state to state far more often than the general population as they accompany their service member to assignments across the nation and world, the release said.
These frequent moves can create difficulties for military spouses seeking to maintain their careers. Spouses serving in professions that require state licenses or certification bear disproportionately high financial and administrative burdens since credentials from one state don't always transfer to another state, the report explains.
This burden negatively affects employment for more than 100,000 military spouses, the report notes.
Among the nearly 50 professions that state licensure requirements affect are teachers, nurses, speech pathologists, dental hygienists, physical therapists, counselors, marriage and family therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, physician assistants, emergency medical technicians and dieticians, the release said, noting that 11 of 50 states have enacted legislation that supports portability for military spouses with occupational licenses.
Nearly half of military members are married, the release noted. Military spouses have indicated their employment plays a key role in their financial and personal well-being, and is a factor in their family's decision to stay in the military.
This report is the direct result of President Barack Obama's Presidential Study Directive, released in January 2011, which called on all sectors of the government to find new ways to provide military families with the support they need and deserve.
The directive spurred federal agencies to make nearly 50 military-support commitments, ranging from child care to health care to spouse employment.
As he unveiled this governmentwide approach, the president reiterated the nation's commitment to its troops and their families.
"I want every service member who's deployed to know that when you're over there taking care of the country that you love, your country is back here taking care of the families that you love," he said from the White House.
"I want every military wife and husband to know that we're going to help you keep your family strong and secure," he added. "I want every single American to remember that as the beneficiaries of their service, each of us has an obligation -- a sacred duty -- to care for those who have "borne the battle."
