PELLA, Iowa – Albion College gave Central (Iowa) College a tough challenge for three quarters Saturday, but the Dutch scored twice in the fourth quarter to hand the Britons a 31-6 setback in a non-league football game.
The teams exchanged punts through the first quarter. Central started a 10-play, 42-yard march late in the first quarter, and it culminated a minute into the second when Josh Osborn hauled in a 16-yard pass from Aaron Eiseler.
Central moved the ball to the Albion 24 on its next possession, but the defense came up with a pair of big plays as it forced Eiseler to fumble on third down and defensive back Terron Bridgeman stopped the Dutch running back for no gain on fourth down.
Albion's offense then engineered its only scoring drive. A roughing the kicker penalty gave the Britons a fresh set of downs near midfield and the offense moved steadily with Dominic Bona completing passes of 10 yards to Darrin Williams, 9 yards to Justin Losey, and 13 to Joseph Mayone to take the ball to the Central 17. Albion picked up a third down conversation when Bona hooked up with Zach Brewer for 6 yards to the Central 6. Bona hit Losey on a 6-yard scoring strike on the next play, but Albion's extra point kick failed and the score was 7-6 with 5 minutes left in the first half.
Central extended its lead to 14-6 when Osborn gashed the defense with runs of 7, 4, 9, 9, 7, and 5 to move the ball to the Albion 16. With time running down in the second quarter, Eiseler found Grant McArdle for the score.
Albion's offense stalled in the second half with two interceptions and a fumble. Osborn scored on runs of 12 and 18 yards and Kevin Sheldon kicked an 18-yard field goal for Central.
Bona racked up 239 passing yards by throwing to six receivers. Williams made 8 receptions for 62 yards. Mayone added 82 receiving yards on 6 six catches.
Bridgeman led the Albion defense with 12 tackles.
Albion will take a 2-2 record into its Oct. 12 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association opener against Trine University. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium.

Forum Post: Tax Incentives to Companies Bleeding Towns Dry, With Few Results

Tax Incentives to Companies Bleeding Towns Dry, With Few Results
Sunday, 02 December 2012 09:51 By Louise Story, The New York Times News Service | Report
In the end, the money that towns across America gave General Motors did not matter.
When the automaker released a list of factories it was closing during bankruptcy three years ago, communities that had considered themselves G.M.'s business partners were among the targets.
For years, mayors and governors anxious about local jobs had agreed to G.M.'s demands for cash rewards, free buildings, worker training and lucrative tax breaks. As late as 2007, the company was telling local officials that these sorts of incentives would "further G.M.'s strong relationship" with them and be a "win/win situation," according to town council notes from one Michigan community.
Yet at least 50 properties on the 2009 liquidation list were in towns and states that had awarded incentives, adding up to billions in taxpayer dollars, according to data compiled by The New York Times.
Some officials, desperate to keep G.M., offered more. Ohio was proposing a $56 million deal to save its Moraine plant, and Wisconsin, fighting for its Janesville factory, offered $153 million.
But their overtures were to no avail. G.M. walked away and, thanks to a federal bailout, is once again profitable. The towns have not been so fortunate, having spent scarce funds in exchange for thousands of jobs that no longer exist.
One township, Ypsilanti, Mich., is suing over the automaker's departure. "You can't just make these promises and throw them around like they're spare change in the drawer," said Doug Winters, the township's attorney.
Yet across the country, companies have been doing just that. And the giveaways are adding up to a gigantic bill for taxpayers.
A Times investigation has examined and tallied thousands of local incentives granted nationwide and has found that states, counties and cities are giving up more than $80 billion each year to companies. The beneficiaries come from virtually every corner of the corporate world, encompassing oil and coal conglomerates, technology and entertainment companies, banks and big-box retail chains.
The cost of the awards is certainly far higher. A full accounting, The Times discovered, is not possible because the incentives are granted by thousands of government agencies and officials, and many do not know the value of all their awards. Nor do they know if the money was worth it because they rarely track how many jobs are created. Even where officials do track incentives, they acknowledge that it is impossible to know whether the jobs would have been created without the aid.
"How can you even talk about rationalizing what you're doing when you don't even know what you're doing?" said Timothy J. Bartik, a senior economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The Times analyzed more than 150,000 awards and created a searchable database of incentive spending. The survey was supplemented by interviews with more than 100 officials in government and business organizations as well as corporate executives and consultants.
A portrait arises of mayors and governors who are desperate to create jobs, outmatched by multinational corporations and short on tools to fact-check what companies tell them. Many of the officials said they feared that companies would move jobs overseas if they did not get subsidies in the United States.
Over the years, corporations have increasingly exploited that fear, creating a high-stakes bazaar where they pit local officials against one another to get the most lucrative packages. States compete with other states, cities compete with surrounding suburbs, and even small towns have entered the race with the goal of defeating their neighbors.
While some jobs have certainly migrated overseas, many companies receiving incentives were not considering leaving the country, according to interviews and incentive data.
Despite their scale, state and local incentives have barely been part of the national debate on the economic crisis. The budget negotiations under way in Washington have not addressed whether the incentives are worth the cost, even though 20 percent of state and local budgets come from federal spending. Lawmakers in Washington are battling over possible increases in personal taxes, while both parties have said that lower federal taxes on corporations are needed for the country to compete globally.
The Times analysis shows that Texas awards more incentives, over $19 billion a year, than any other state. Alaska, West Virginia and Nebraska give up the most per resident.
For many communities, the payouts add up to a substantial chunk of their overall spending, the analysis found. Oklahoma and West Virginia give up amounts equal to about one-third of their budgets, and Maine allocates nearly a fifth.
In a few states, the cost of incentives is not significant. But several of them have low business taxes — or none at all — which can save companies even more money than tax credits.
Far and away the most incentive money is spent on manufacturing, about $25.5 billion a year, followed by agriculture. The oil, gas and mining industries come in third, and the film business fourth. Technology is not far behind, as companies like Twitter and Facebook increasingly seek tax breaks and many localities bet on the industry's long-term viability.
Those hopes were once more focused on automakers, which for decades have pushed cities and states to set up incentive programs, blazing a trail that companies of all sorts followed. Even today, G.M. is the top beneficiary, public records indicate. It received at least $1.7 billion in local incentives in the last five years, followed closely by Ford and Chrysler.
A spokesman for General Motors said that almost every major employer applied for incentives because they help keep companies competitive and retain or create jobs.
"There are many reasons why so many Ford, Chrysler and G.M. plants closed over the last few decades," said the G.M. spokesman, James Cain. "But these factors don't mean that the companies and communities didn't benefit while the plants were open, which was often for generations."
Mr. Cain cited research showing that the company received less money per job than foreign automakers operating in the United States.
Questioned about incentives, officials at dozens of other large corporations said they owed it to shareholders to maximize profits. Many emphasized that they employ thousands of Americans who pay taxes and spend money in the local economy.
For government officials like Bobby Hitt of South Carolina, the incentives are a good investment that will raise tax revenues in the long run.
"I don't see it as giving up anything," said Mr. Hitt, who worked at BMW in the 1990s and helped it win $130 million from South Carolina.
Today, Mr. Hitt is the state's secretary of commerce. South Carolina recently took on a $218 million debt to assist Boeing's expansion there and offered the company tax breaks for 10 years.
Mr. Hitt, like most political officials, has a short-term mandate. It will take years to see whether the state's bet on Boeing bears fruit.
In Michigan, Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican in his first term, has been working to eliminate most business tax credits but is bound by past awards. The state gave General Motors $779 million in credits in 2009, just a month after the company received a $50 billion federal bailout and decided to close seven plants in Michigan.
G.M. can use the credits to offset its state tax bill for up to 20 years. "You don't know who will take a credit or when," said Doug Smith, a senior official at the state's economic development agency. "We may give a credit to G.M., and they might not take it for three years or 10 years or more."
One corporate executive, Donald J. Hall Jr. of Hallmark, thinks business subsidies are hurting his hometown, Kansas City, Mo., by diverting money from public education. "It's really not creating new jobs," Mr. Hall said. "It's motivated by politicians who want to claim they have brought new jobs into their state."
For Mr. Hall and others in Kansas City, the futility of free-flowing incentives has been underscored by a border war between Kansas and Missouri.
Soon after Kansas recruited AMC Entertainment with a $36 million award last year, the state cut its education budget by $104 million. AMC was moving only a few miles, across the border from Missouri. Workers saw little change other than in commuting times and office décor. A few months later, Missouri lured Applebee's headquarters from Kansas.
"I just shake my head every time it happens, it just gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach," said Sean O'Byrne, the vice president of the Downtown Council of Kansas City. "It sounds like I'm talking myself out of a job, but there ought to be a law against what I'm doing."

What is UCC and Why Should I Care?
What does UCC mean?
Unified communications and collaboration (UCC) brings together multiple forms of communications, like voice, video and data services, and software applications into a single environment, improving business processes making it easier for employees to connect.
UCC can include components like:
- Instant messaging
- Presence – knowing if a contact is free or busy
- Unified messaging – the ability to retrieve all your messages from one central location
- Conferencing applications – to connect larger groups and allow them to share information and ideas
- Teamwork applications – to coordinate work on group projects
- Video conferencing – on your PC, mobile device and using room-based systems
- Mobile applications – extending UCC to smartphones and tablets
What impact does UCC have?
Hyper-connected. 24/7. Always-on. Pick your adjective for today's business environment. But no matter how you classify it, the current speed of business puts pressure on organizations like never before. And your ability to quickly find and communicate with the right people, access data, and exchange information can make the difference in business success or failure.
With UCC, you can address these challenges by helping people connect more efficiently and intuitively. You can use UCC to bring together multiple forms of real-time and historical communications, like voice, video and data services, and software applications into a single environment, making it easier to connect. Business processes improve as a result.
The three major benefits of UCC
When you embrace UCC, you can increase employee collaboration and productivity in three major ways.
Reduce time wasted
UCC enables real-time presence across your organization, giving employees instant insight into their coworkers' availability to connect via voice, IM or video. This at-a-glance information, which can be automatically retrieved from employees' existing calendars, can reduce communications latency by making it easier to find the right person and get an answer to a business question.
Connect geographically dispersed employees
The reality is, today's business is global. In order to truly leverage top talent across the globe, businesses can use UCC to make it easier for employees in multiple locations to work on projects. To bridge the geographical distance, UCC's teamwork component s are key to enabling real-time collaboration even when in-person interactions are not feasible or ideal.
Provide freedom of choice for maximum ROI
Adopting a complete UCC strategy lets your employees communicate the way they prefer by eliminating the need use a specific device or be in a set location. It's becoming nearly impossible for businesses to operate without a solid BYOD policy, and the dangers of Shadow IT should be enough motivation for any organization to ensure it's taking a proactive approach. A mobile-first, any-device strategy for business communications can greatly improve user adoption to maximize your productivity benefits.
The proven results of UCC
Studies have shown organizations save time and money by reaching people on the first try, switching between methods of communication to improve information exchange (e.g., turning a chat session into a multi-party conference call or video conference with a few mouse clicks), reducing expenses and employee downtime due to travel, extending office applications to mobile workers and giving employees more flexibility to work from any location.
One study by the network integration company Nexus showed more than a 60 percent of firms using UCC report saving three hours a week per mobile worker. Imagine how much more you could accomplish if your employees had 12 more hours of productivity a month.
What Now?
Join us on Friday, June 10 for a free webinar to learn more about
- How evolution in UCC technology will change the way you work – again.
- How UCC saves three hours a week per mobile worker in 60 percent of firms
- How effective collaboration can reduce emails by 40 percent
- Real-world examples of companies that have reduced costs and improved workplace efficiency.

Danuta Justyna
Born: April 1, 1923
Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland
Danuta was born to Roman Catholic parents in the small industrial town of Piotrkow Trybunalski in central Poland. Her father and mother were school teachers. She and her younger sister, Maria, became friends with two Jewish girls, Sabina and Helena Szwarc. Although their houses were more than a mile apart, the girls often played together.
1933-39: I was planning on attending college in September 1939, but on September 1 Germany invaded Poland. Four days later, German soldiers streamed into our city. That October, the Germans established a ghetto in Piotrkow for the Jews, and our good friends, Sabina and Helena, were among those forced to move into the ghetto. Only a few weeks after Piotrkow was occupied, my sister, Maria, and I joined the resistance movement.
1940-44: My sister and I delivered weapons and illegal newspapers for the Polish Home Army [Armia Krajowa], and Mother sheltered resistance fighters in our home. When the Germans liquidated the Piotrkow ghetto in 1942, Mother hid Sabina and Helena in our house until they could sneak out with false IDs. In 1944 Maria and I were caught smuggling two resistance leaders out of Warsaw. We were sent off to a concentration camp, but on the way we escaped from the train. A month later, the Gestapo caught me in Czestochowa smuggling revolvers.
Danuta was liberated from a Czestochowa prison by Soviet troops in January 1945. After the war, she was reunited with her family in Piotrkow Trybunalski.

Lipscomb midfielder Omar Djabi won another Player of the Year honor when College Sports Madness released its Atlantic Sun Conference men's soccer awards.
The junior from Venezuela led the A-Sun in goals (9) and points (21). He also led the league with four game-winning shots. Djabi had three games- Belmont, Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville- where he scored multiple goals.
In the last seven games, Djabi has put 20 of his 30 shots on goal.
College Sports Madness also named Djabi to the All-Conference First Team, the only Bison on the team.
However, the Purple and Gold did have four players named to the All-Conference Second Team, Reece Holcombe, Matt Kerridge, Robbie Johnson and Micah Bledsoe.
Holcombe has scored two goals on the year. He had a game-winning shot in the 79th minute on the road at Missouri State on an assist from Djabi. He finished the year as the third leading scorer for Lipscomb.
Kerridge, a Golden, Colo. native, played in 17 games and finished the regular season as the team leader, and third in the A-Sun, with five assists. Four of his total came in conference play. Kerridge was credited with two assists in the previous matchup with Jacksonville and also assisted on the game-winning goal on the road at USC Upstate.
Johnson, an A-Sun All-Academic selection, helped guide the Bisons defense to its most shutouts in school history. As a defender, Johnson started 17 games and attempted 16 shots on the.
As a freshman goalkeeper, Bledsoe finished the season among the top goalies in the league in all categories. He led the A-Sun in save percentage (.789), finished second in total saves (71) and third in both goals against average (1.02) and shutouts (5).

Work Monster Attacks
In an unfortunate bit of timing, right now when so much is going in the world of cycling in Los Angeles, with the Mandeville road rage trial in progress, the LA Bike Plan short comings, and plenty of other things going on, I am super slammed for an extended period at work. This whole job thing pays for my bikes and student loans so I must beckon it's call. I won't be able to contribute much to the discussion of cycling for a little while longer, but in the meantime there are lots of other great blogs and news sources following what's going on. If you aren't already reading some of the other cycling blogs in LA, check out my links in the sidebar.
3 comments:
I just found your blog and really like it. I was able to participate with the LA Bike Count that occurred about 3 weeks ago, counting bike travel at (at least) 60 intersections in LA. I try to spread the word about the safety we are ensuing for LA's bicyclists.
But I have to tell you the first thing that caught my eye: I like your green Schwinn Twinn at the top of the page. I have a '72 5speed Twinn in green with 27x1 1/4 tires (although the paint on mine is not as solid as the one in your picture). Maybe one day it will be a Paramount Twinn! Always fun to ride tandem! (Although thank you for re-announcing that accident in your entry below. It is a call to action in LA and everywhere.)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a game of lead-changing runs, the MIT women's basketball team came out on top with a 54-46 victory over non-conference foe Pine Manor College on Tuesday night. Stephanie Cooke paced the Engineers' balanced attack with eight points to go along with eight rebounds, including six off the offensive glass. The Gators were led by Therline Dumeran, who amassed 18 rebounds, 12 points, four steals, and two blocks.
MIT (2-2) quickly established an 8-2 advantage which grew to 14-5 at the 10:56 mark courtesy of Stephanie Cooke's free throw following a technical foul. Pine Manor (0-2) responded with a 22-1 run over the course of the next eight minutes to record its largest lead of the night (27-15). Tia Nelson posted seven points for the Gators while Dumeran registered six points.
The Engineers countered with 18 unanswered points that spanned both halves and put them in front early in the second stanza. MIT tallied nine straight during the final two minutes of the opening frame, cutting its deficit to 27-24 at the break. Cooke ignited the spurt with a pair of free throws which were followed by two layups from Rachel Hunt and a three-point play by Sydney Beasley with 17 seconds on the clock.
Two baskets from Marissa Good were sandwiched by a Cooke layup and three-point play that resulted in a 33-27 edge for MIT after 3:20 elapsed in the second half. Pine Manor stayed within striking distance for most of the frame before going ahead, 40-39, on back-to-back treys from Yiafia Dowridge and Nelson with less than seven minutes to play. Anna Merrifield's jumper on the Engineers' ensuing possession was quickly bolstered by Lauren Sascha Burton's layup.
Dowridge's jumper and a free throw later on knotted the game at 43 while Dumeran's first free-throw on a one-and-one put the Gators in front with 3:58 to go. Merrifield hauled in the rebound off the miss as Tamara Pena's basket gave MIT a lead it would not relinquish. Back-to-back jumpers from Rebecca Odim resulted in some breathing room for the Engineers as they scored their final five points from the charity stripe. Pine Manor's Enjolee Phillips closed out the game with a layup at the buzzer.
Burton finished with 10 rebounds, six points, three assists, two blocks, and a steal while Merrifield totaled seven points and seven boards. Pena notched seven points as Hunt contributed six points and five caroms. Beasley and Kristen Whaley both added six points coming off the bench, helping the Engineers take a 26-13 advantage in bench scoring. MIT also led the way in points in the paint (30-8), second-chance scoring (22-14), and rebounding (54-39).
Dowridge and Nelson both reached double-digits in scoring, registering 12 and 11 points, respectively. Jataiya Alexander compiled 10 rebounds, three assists, and three steals while Phillips chipped in six points. As a team, the Gators ended the night with a 23-15 advantage in points off turnovers.
MIT returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 27 when it hosts Fisher College while Pine Manor will take on Bay Path College in its first home game of the season on Monday, Nov. 29.

GOP Governors: EPA Carbon Dioxide Rules Job Killer
HOUSTON (AP) — GOP governors from oil-and-gas rich states say new EPA rules designed to cut global warming pollution from power plants by 30 percent by 2030 will kill jobs and growth.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry hosted Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple in Houston Monday.
The governors say they will use a public comment period to express reservations. But Mead and the others also say they do not rule out a lawsuit if the rules are not modified. They say the EPA has overstepped its authority.
These governors joined five others in a letter sent Monday to President Barack Obama that says data shows "millions of jobs will be lost and billions of dollars will be spent" to comply with the federal regulations.

McGraw-Hill (NYSE:MHP) posted a fourth-quarter loss amid struggles in its education segment, while its Standard & Poor's credit rating business continued to show revenue growth.
Continue Reading Below
McGraw-Hill originally considering a spin-off its education business as a separate publicly-traded company, but agreed in November to sell the unit to private equity firm Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) for $2.5 billion. The company reclassified the unit in its latest earnings report as discontinued operations, which recorded a net loss of $406 million.
The company's financial unit that includes S&P, which is under fire from the U.S. Department of Justice, reported revenue of $1.23 billion, a 22% jump over the prior year. Revenue from the ratings firm was up 34% to $584 million.
Overall, McGraw-Hill recorded a loss of $216 million, or 76 cents a share, compared to a profit of $214 million, or 73 cents a share, a year earlier. The period included $77 million in charges and a gain of $52 million related to a vacation policy change.
Adjusted per-share earnings, which exclude restructuring charges and other items, were down to 72 cents from 90 cents.
Company-wide revenue was up 22% to $1.23 billion, excluding discontinued operations. Analysts anticipated per-share earnings of 72 cents.
McGraw-Hill also said it expects earnings for the year to fall between $3.10 and $3.20 a share. Revenue growth is expected to be in the high single digits.
Last week, state attorneys general and the Justice Department filed lawsuits against S&P rating agency, alleging the firm inflated its ratings. It was the first time the federal government brought a lawsuit related to the financial crisis against a credit rating agency.
In its earnings report Tuesday, McGraw-Hill reiterated that the Justice Department's lawsuit "is entirely without factual or legal merit and that the company has very strong defenses against this and all pending litigation."
The legal moves weighed on McGraw-Hill's stock, which rebounded 3.77% on Monday. Shares were down fractionally early Tuesday.

Another move finished. That's seven-ish in the past four years. I swear I'm not going anywhere this time.
I said that in February of this year. "We're not going anywhere this time. I swear." That's the hindsight bastardization, anyway.
There's something comforting about our apartment this time. Instead living among the bloodless ranks of plastic-sided townhomes filled with [blank] professionals - empty rooms, empty homes - we moved to an old neighborhood close to the metro. The homes are all brick here; worn, cracked, discolored. You know what it will smell like when you roam inside. The outlets are in weird places. The furnace is ancient, painted white to cover the rust patches, patched with sheet metal to cover the holes made by the rust.
Normal people get up and go to their normal jobs. The men wear normal uniforms and carry shiny toolboxes to white vans. There's a bunch of normal kids who beat the shit out of each other and chase the stray cats in the alleys. The kid upstairs pounds our ceiling running (Imagine: all that force through the little pressure points). I imagine his mother and I groaning in unison. Go back to sleep, kid. She clicks down the stairs in a rush every morning and Oscar growls and barks as she passes our door. Oscar hates when people are in a rush.
Some of my neighbors ride a bike to work, but I doubt they think of themselves as Cyclists. A Cyclist is a person that uses a bicycle for their primary mode of transportation even though he or she has more than enough money to use a car. The idea is that Cycling is better for your health and the planet's health than using your car, which is true, but because most normal people roll their eyes at Cyclists (Note: it doesn't help that Cyclists wear silly clothes that cost more than most bike-riders' bikes) and continue to use their cars, Cyclists usually just end up getting in the way and pissing off the normal people, which in turn makes them seek each other out and create support groups and the like. Cyclists often whine on the internet about how they're treated on the road. After they're done whining, they drive their SUV to Whole Foods to fill out the menu for their All Organic Dinner Party. You can't use your bike to pick up organic appetizers for 15 people.
Just this morning, as I loaded Heather up for school, waving to the gasman (he looked sleepy), I noticed that the vine that winds through the hedges in front of the building next door was peppered with morning glory blossoms. There's other vines too, that wind up the brick to our roof. I often stop to think about the aerial roots of young vines, how they find those comfortable little crags in stone or bark, how they nestle in and fit snug. Are they soft nodes as they squeeze their way in? Do they harden in maturity?
Part of the concrete frame around our window crumbled in last week's earthquake. I took a picture of it during the hurricane:
After the hurricane, the maintenance guys framed and fixed it. Oscar was a little disturbed by the floating men with drills outside our window. I had to bring him into the bedroom for a co-nap the other day to calm him down. Overall, he seems happy with their work. It's their methodology he questions.
Twitter is back up. Link is up there, next to the aerial plankton. I'm working on revising and submitting some short stories. I'm thinking about which of the four novels I've started in the past couple of years I should focus on. The library around the corner has a lovely science section I want to delve into. I've been thinking about all the ecology basics posts I started years ago and wondering if I should continue work on them. I've read many papers that I never bothered to detail on here. I have some theories as to why and might even share with the world why I consistently shy away from sharing. Maybe.
The morning glories out front remind me of what I saw on a Walk the other day. A Walk is what I do sometimes to try to reduce the life-endangering fat around my midsection. I'm not really going anywhere in particular. Some people walk to move themselves from one place to another and end up getting exercise in the process. I used to be one of those people when I lived in Atlanta.
Anyway, there was a woman in her sixties bent over in her garden showing her grandson how to weed. It was a good day to weed, as my mother says, because the ground was wet. Normally, there's nothing spectacular about an older woman in the garden with her grandson. Thomas Kinkade probably thinks about that a lot as he watches his employees paint his ideas. The spectacular thing was that she, her garden and her grandson were reflected in the wide panes of a sliding glass door of her basement apartment. On this tiny plot, crammed between a busy sidewalk and an adequate living space, she did her own landscaping. There were no contracted professionals in red shirts blowing pine straw around soft asphalt, just a grandmom with her grandson in her unremarkable garden dug into a remarkable space.

Tennessee wins the SEC East with a 52-50, four-OT thrilla over Kentucky. Good. West Virginia secures a BCS spot, electrocuting the Huskies. Fantastic. The Hokies down Virginia 33-21 for the ACC Coastal crown. Put it in on the mantle. No. 10 Oklahoma pounds Oklahoma St. Who cares? UCLA, Iron Bowl, Tebow ... BAH! I can't take it anymore! But, hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Missouri's big win over Kansas...
• Absorb It. There will be no Good, Bad, and Indifferent. There will be no major postgame analysis from me for at least another few days. Take a step back and absorb all this win has to offer. Folks, your Missouri Tigers are 11-1, champions of the Big 12 North, and controllers of their own destiny in the national championship hunt. [Rock M Nation]
• LOUD NOISES!!! It's a celebration bitches. The 36-28 Tiger win means we're heading to San Antone for a rematch against Oklahoma, which has gone into the shitter lately. Looks good for the Tigers. Props to the Wi-fi at the bar and props to the waitress I'm going to try to take advantage of tonight. [...] Good thing McDonalds still Supersizes, so it's not the end of the world in the Mangino household. Rick James needs an extra pair of hands to give them (man)titties four thumbs down! [Mizzourah]
• I'm Proud To Be A Jayhawk. We lost. Just like everyone else in college football, save the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii, someone beat us. I finally, for the first time in my life, know what it is like to lose a college football game that means so much. I know what it means to control your own destiny for a trip to the National Title game, and lose. It's a tough feeling. But just the mere fact that we were there, just the opportunity to control our own destiny is enough progress for one year. We didn't go to a bowl game last year, barely qualifying at 6-6. This year, we are heading into the postseason stage of college football at 11-1, a trip to the Cotton Bowl or better all but wrapped up. [Rock Chalk Talk]
• Who's No. 1? (1) Mizzou. (2) West Virginia. If one stumbles: Ohio St. If both stumble: Both won't. [Dan Shanoff]
• These Tigers Are No. 1. Just like last week, the Tigers will be atop of the new BCS standings. But it will be the Missouri Tigers who replace the LSU Tigers as the 2007 regular season enters its final week. Closing in at No. 2 and a spot in the BCS title game will be West Virginia. After demolishing overmatched UConn on Saturday, the Mountaineers should have a commanding lead in the standings over No. 3 Ohio State. The Buckeyes are hardly out of it, however. Should Missouri lose to Oklahoma in the Big XII championship game, Ohio State will be playing in its second straight BCS national championship game. [BCS Guru]

|Daily Blog • Friday, December 3rd
For the last couple of years I have picked the games involving the Top 25 teams and thrown in a couple of upset picks. This year I thought you might be interested in who I think will win EACH FBS game this weekend. Every Friday I will give you my personal forecast on every game that involves a FBS team.
I list the projected scores from my computers forecast. Another column shows you the computers yardage forecast for each game. I think it will be interesting to see who the computer picks to win the yardage battle and see if they win the game. In my College Football magazine I have the plus and minus ratings. I update them weekly and then factor in the home edge and I will show you who the Plus Minus ratings forecast. I will also list who Vegas has favored to win each week and we can see how they do picking the actual winners of games. There is also a WEEKLY POLL which you can enter for free each week. What I will do is on Friday morning I will tabulate the vote on each game and list who the fans are picking to win the games.
Listed below are each of these category picks for this week and I will then have a running total for the season for them! Here are the selections.......

Alice Eve — Crush of the Day
Most of the buzz surrounding J.J. Abram's upcoming 'Star Trek' sequel seems to center on British actor Benedict Cumberbatch and who he will or won't be playing in the much-anticipated movie. We're looking forward to learning more about Cumberbatch's mystery character, but we're more excited about another new addition to the rebooted franchise's cast, Alice Eve.
You may know the English actress as one of Vinnie Chase's many girlfriends on HBO's 'Entourage' or from the 2010 sex comedy 'She's Out of My League' with Jay Baruchel. Eve, who also appeared in 'Sex in the City 2' (Which we did not watch because of our deep-seated fear of Sarah Jessica Parker and her evil power to render a man sterile with just one look), also appears in two recent releases, the John Cusack thriller 'The Raven' and 'Men in Black III.'
The 30-year-old actress started acting in UK TV and film productions in 2004. She starred alongside Cumberbatch in the BBC production 'Hawking.' Her breakout role as the ultimate hottie in 'She's Out of My League' in 2010 led to her being cast in several major U.S. productions.
Eve has dropped a few hints about her mystery 'Star Trek 2' character in recent interviews. According to Eve, she did spend a significant amount of time in the makeup chair before stepping in front of the camera, which probably means she's playing an alien. Fingers crossed for Green Orion Slave Girl!

TRVA Convention Aug. 13-16 in San Antonio
July 28, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on TRVA Convention Aug. 13-16 in San Antonio
The theme for this year's convention is "Reaping Benefits and Harvesting Success." About 200 TRVA members representing RV dealerships, manufacturers and suppliers and the campground industry are expected to attend. The convention will be held at the Westin Riverwalk.
Victor T. Vandergriff, who led the lobbying effort to create the new state agency independent of the Texas Department of Transportation and now heads the new agency as chairman, will be the featured speaker at Sunday night's President's Banquet.
Also appearing at the convention will be Ed Serna, executive director of the new agency, and Carol Kent, interim director of the agency's enforcement division.
"These three people are the most key people in the state of Texas involving the RV industry," said Clark McEwen, TRVA executive director.
TRVA lobbied extensively in the 2009 session of the Texas Legislature to get motor vehicles out of TexDOT and handled by an independent agency like the new Texas DMV.
"We think once everything is up and running, the concerns our industries have will be addressed more efficiently and quicker by a stand-alone agency," McEwen said.
Vandergriff formerly served as vice president of V.T. Inc. and Automotive Investment Group, the largest private retail automotive group in the United States. Vandergriff was involved as an owner, dealer and executive manager in the automobile industry for more than 25 years. He and his family have owned and operated automobile dealerships for more than 80 years in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
The convention will feature two panel discussions of industry experts. The first will focus on retail store/merchandising, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department update and "Red Flag" and compliance issues. The second will focus on the new agency as well as on parts and service issues.
Other speakers include Terry Cooper, 'The Texas RV Professor," and Walter Preble, a former Kampgrounds of America Inc. executive and now an innovative KOA campground operator in Rusk, Texas.
Roundtable discussions following the panel discussions are open-ended and tend to focus on "hot button" issues of the day.
For the first time, TRVA will honor member RV parks and campgrounds with awards going to the top small, medium and large parks of the year.
An auction, sponsors' trade show, golf and poker tournaments and other awards also are scheduled for the convention, for which McEwen said he expects an upbeat mood at this year's convention.
"We're affected by the downturn like everybody else," he said. "But we're fortunate in Texas our economy has weathered better. The 2008-2009 downturn drained the reserves of a lot of dealerships but everybody is enthusiastic now. Are we where we want to be? No. But the vast majority are happy they're in Texas."

December 8, 2013
We have been here before: A new, deadly virus is found to be spreading; treatments are developed, but are toxic, plus they have limited efficacy; and then, all of a sudden, there is a breakthrough and potent therapies spill onto the market, offering hope for millions. There are few events in medical history that can rival the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy, but the coming direct-acting therapies for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are nothing short of mind-blowing.
This year, we saw the first studies of these new drugs in HIV-HCV coinfected individuals. The NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir was shown to be effective when added to 12 weeks of interferon and ribavirin (IFN/RBV) in coinfected patients in a small study in which 91% achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR) at week 12 post therapy. Even more exciting were the results from the PHOTON-1 trial in which coinfected patients received sofosbuvir and ribavirin alone for 24 weeks if the virus was genotype 1 (N = 114) or 12 weeks if it was genotype 2 or 3 (N = 109 combined). Genotype 1 harboring patients had a 12-week SVR of 76% (88% for genotype 2 and 67% for genotype 3).
Simeprevir, an NS3/4A protease inhibitor, also proved itself in coinfected patients, with an SVR of 74% when co-administered with IFN/RBV in a study of 106 patients with genotype 1 virus. The SVR rate was slightly higher for those who were HCV treatment naive and those with subtype 1b were more likely to achieve an SVR than those with 1a (89% versus 71%). A lower rate (67%) of SVR was observed for patients with 1a subtype and the Q80K NS3 resistance mutation detected at baseline.
The response of coinfected patients to sofosbuvir and simeprevir, as well as a number of other direct-acting HCV antivirals in development, has exceeded expectations and there is an obvious giddiness in treaters anticipating all the cures to be had in 2014. The promise of interferon-sparing regimens only amps up this euphoria.
We and our patients have waited a long time for a HAART-like advance in HCV treatment and now it is at hand. It remains to be seen how accessible these new drugs will be for those with coinfection. Although, that HIV-infected patients have been able to receive boceprevir and telaprevir, is encouraging.
The new HCV treatments also will have other collateral benefits. The management of HIV has frankly become somewhat rote. There certainly remain important challenges, including maintaining engagement of patients in care, dealing with ample mental health and substance abuse co-morbidities, and addressing diseases of aging in those living with HIV. However, as mentioned below, the vast majority of patients under care are doing well and clinic visits for many patients have been reduced to pleasantries, a cursory examination, and then a shuffle off to the lab for blood work that will not reveal detectable virus. We worked hard to get to this level of monotony and it is welcome.
HCV management now offers many of us a jolt. We entered this field to make a difference -- perhaps even to rid people of their infections -- and with these new agents we can. Being in the cure business is good for our patients and for us.
So, what can go wrong? How about pricing that makes your head spin: over $60,000 for a 12-week course of simeprevir, which seems like a bargain when held up against the $84,000 price tag of a similar course of sofosbuvir. Gilead, the maker of sofosbuvir, has apparently agreed to create a generous patient support program at the urging of the Fair Pricing Coalition, but one wonders whether these "concessions" actually enabled the company to arrive at this stratospheric price. Clearly, pharmaceutical companies make huge investments in developing novel medications and their gambles often do not pay off. However, one wonders how many people who were not able to be cured of HCV when therapy was less effective but affordable will now not be cured because therapy is effective but unaffordable.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dow Chemical Co is preparing to defend itself at trial against allegations it took part in a conspiracy to fix prices of chemicals used to make a wide range of foam products found in cars, furniture and packaging.
Dow was one of several chemical company defendants named in a class action lawsuit that started nine years ago. But Dow was the only defendant not to settle and is scheduled to go trial on Wednesday in federal court in Kansas City, Kansas.
The stakes are high. The plaintiffs, direct purchasers of the chemical products, estimate damages exceed $1 billion. Under federal antitrust law, damages are trebled so the final judgment against Dow could exceed $3 billion.
The lawsuit alleges that Dow, along with its competitors, began fixing prices for urethane chemicals no later than 1999 when the market was falling and the industry was plagued by excess demand. The conspiracy to keep prices high continued into 2003, according to the plaintiffs.
At trial, the plaintiffs plan to call at least five witnesses who they say will provide direct testimony supporting their case of a price-fixing agreement. Those witnesses include executives of the companies allegedly involved in the conspiracy. The class representatives are Seegott Holdings Inc, Industrial Polymers Inc and Quabaug Corp.
Dow has denied engaging in any price-fixing conspiracy. It has contended that no witness from any of the defendants in the case has testified that they actually entered into an agreement to fix prices.
Dow will be represented by David Bernick of Boies, Schiller & Flexner.
The plaintiffs will be represented by Joe Goldberg of Freedman Boyd Hollander Goldberg Urias & Ward; Michael Guzman of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel; and Kit Pierson of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll.
The trial is expected to last six to seven weeks.
Other defendants in the case have settled. In 2006 Bayer AG agreed to pay $55 million. In 2011 Huntsman International LLC agreed to pay $33 million and BASF Corp agreed to pay $51 million. In settling, none of the companies admitted any wrongdoing.
The case is In Re Urethane Antitrust Litigation, U.S. District Court, District of Kansas, 04-md-01616.

SONAR: NOUN. Acronym. SOund NAvigation and Ranging. Originally SONAR was primarily use in an ACTIVE mode. This entails transmitting a very powerful tone through a hydrophone and listening for return echos. It is possible to determine the distance and bearing to any object that returns an echo. Later SONAR began to be used passively to listen. Most ships emply SONAR in the form of a FATHOMETER which is used to determine depth. SONAR is more widely recognized in the form of a fish finder that can be purchased inexpensively adn is used to help fisherman locate fish underwater in a manner similar to a fathometer. Some animals use SONAR including whales and dolphins, some fish, and even mammals (bats).
Bats use SONAR to locate insects.
Most films depicting submarines use a corny 'beep' to signify the sub searching or being searched for by SONAR.

Photo: A picture of the trails in Shawnee Mission Park I found on Flickr (thanks, felixtcat).
Today, Chris and I were seriously considering crashing the Discover ride. Not in a bad way. In a commuter way. Later on in the day, we'd decided it would be much more interesting to break out our mountain bikes and do some honest-to-God single track.
See, I haven't actually been on a formal mountain bike trail. I've used deer trails. I've made my own first tracks. I've even ridden on 4x4 trails. Although I can tell the stuff I was riding on really isn't that technical, it was the roughest stuff I've ever subjected any bicycle to, and it was also the longest time I've spent bludgeoning a bicycle in these kinds of conditions.
Was it fun? You bet! We probably only put 6 or 7 miles on, but I'd bet I worked twice as hard as if I'd ridden 20 miles with the roadies this evening.
Chris might have more photos later. If so, I'll link to them.

I am really a mountain biker at heart. I'm glad you tried some singletrack. The more you ride, the more addictive it becomes, especially as you start getting better at it.
And yes, it takes at least twice the effort of road biking, but it the amount of fun increases proportionally. I also really enjoy being out enjoying nature. I hope you'll hit some more singletrack in your area.

According to the YouTube page for ThatDarkSpark, TDS is not present for the translation of the final WIDM episode. Just curious if anyone knows what may have happened. I desperately want to see the final episode, but definitely more concerned about TDS. Also, is TDS Topita? Makes me even more concerned if it is.

AnnaLynne McCord covers up her face with a wig as she holds hands with model Aaron O'Connell at Veuve Clicquot's Halloween party Yelloween at Palazzo's Lavo Las Vegas on Saturday (October 30) in Nevada.
AnnaLynne, who dressed up as Alice in Wonderland's White Queen, was seen sitting on Aaron's lap and wearing his pilot hat.
Looks like AnnaLynne has moved on from Twilight stud Kellan Lutz. Upgrade or downgrade??

IMO if App had done a Wordpress based website it would probably work great for years and bring much joy to the community instead this being in discussions for months, development for a year (if a solution is chosen where solid development work is required) and in the end maybe have something that works but is difficult to maintain by a non-developer.If someone is ready, willing and able to provide a solid solution what's the harm on taking them up on it. Put your trust in what they will deliver and be happy to have something better (maybe perfect). Hell, just getting someone to volunteer to complete an entire project is difficult, don't pass it up.Think of it this way: what ever is delivered probably buys you years to work on other things.Just my .02-Veign (March 03, 2011, 01:05 PM)

Originally published Dec. 6, 2012.
Jim and Rita Dinius don't wait for Santa Claus to come to them.
They go to him.
The Huntington couple has been collecting Santa Claus memorabilia since the 1990s. Since then, they say, they've accumulated some 400 different pieces.
"Rita started collecting Precious Moments dolls, so I had to collect something," says Jim Dinius. "So, we started collecting Santa Clauses, wherever we went."
The places where the couple has found Santa Clauses are as varied as the types of Santa Clauses in its collection.
"When we go to Hawaii we usually pick up one or two," says Jim. "We've got several from China; we've got some from Taiwan. We got some from Switzerland last year."
The Diniuses own everything from simple versions of Santa Claus, in the form of Christmas tree ornaments, to intricate versions in the form of dolls with lifelike faces and clothing.
While some parts of the couple's collection are kept in storage until Christmastime, other items are on display year-around, stationed in two large display cases in the living room.
Within those display cases are some of the Diniuses' favorite Santa Clauses, made by Shipshewana artisan Mary Masters.
"She hand-makes Santas," says Jim. "Every year she has a Santa for a different country."
A humorous story accompanies Masters' Irish Santa Claus, which is one of many that the Diniuses own.
"There was a man who came into (Masters') office," says Jim. "What she does is take a picture of a person and she makes the face match the person.
"This fellow was in there looking around and he says, 'You've got an English Santa Claus; why don't you have an Irish Santa Claus?' She says, 'Well, would you want to pose for it?' And he said, 'Yeah, I would.'
"So, she took a picture of him and it was Lou Holtz. That's when he was still up at Notre Dame."
Jim counts Masters' Chinese Santa Claus to be among his favorites of the entire collection. Rita's favorite, a Santa Claus handed down to her by her mother, is a sentimental pick.
"It must be about 100 years old," she says.
Other Santa Clauses that hold special meaning to the Diniuses are their Indiana and Purdue university Santas, which represent where their children went to school, and a Santa that reminds them of their son.
"Our son's a pilot for Continental," says Jim, "and we have a Santa up there that looks like a pilot."
The Diniuses say their Santa collecting days may be over - simply because they're running out of places to put them.
But they enjoy the ones they have and the memories of their trips around the world that they associate with them.
"They bring back memories of where you've been, of what you've seen," says Rita.

How do I know what size storage I need?
Storage managers would be happy to help you determine which size unit is best for you so that you're not paying for a 10' X 35' unit when you really need a 5' X 5' unit. Please reference our size guide for more information.
What access will I have to my belongings?
You have 63 facilities to choose from in San Jose. Access hours range from 8 to 24 hours a day. Please contact your local facility for more specific information about your unit.
Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?
Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.
