Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - Vasek and Roman - FULL CONTACT
Vasek and Roman - FULL CONTACT
Roman Koroza and Vasek Konik are a pair of very hot guys, with great bodies. We find then laying on a bed wearing only underwear. They are close together and begin to explore eaah other's bodies with their hands. Vasek moves closer to Roman and begins to kiss and lick his chest. Then they both kiss and continue to run there hands over each other. Moving very close they kiss some more. Their long and slow build up to taking things further is very sensuous and culminates in Vasek releasing Roman's cock from his underwear. Big and stiff that cock needs immediate attention and Vasek begins to lick it up and down the shaft before taking the big cockhead in his mouth and sucking on it. He works his mouth over Roman's hard dick, taking it deep in his throat. Then the guys swap places and Roman eagerly goes for Vasek's big cock too. He too licks it and then uses his mouth to pleasure it, sucking it real good. Roman then turn onto his stomach, with his underwear down so that Vasekcan rim his ass. He tongues the hole and pulls Roman's hard cock between his legs to wank it. Then he fingers that tight hole before rimming it some more. After playing with that hole the guys lay next to each other wanking before moving into a spoon position so that Vasek can fuck Roman's hot ass. His hard cock slips into that tight hole and begins to fuck. Vasek's cock slides in and out of Roman's ass, stretching it well. As he fucks that ass Vasek takes hold of Roman's big, hard cock and slowly wanks it. Roman is really turned on by his hot friend and they soon flip so that Vasek's ass is impaled on Roman's massive cock. As he rides that cock Vasek's own dick swings about, growing harder all the while. Moving into missionary position Roman continues to fuck Vasek's tight ass. Vasek wanks his own hard dick and shoots his load over his belly as he takes that big dick. Roman then pulls out and creams his cock as well, dumping his load on Vasek and then leaning over to kiss him, ending a great scene.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Jan Mikulec, Roman Koroza, Adam Rupert, Radek Kozel and Julius Sekac are the stars of Wank Party 2013 #4. We join them, in this second part, as Jan is rimming Julius and Roman does the same to Adam. Then the guys move around, so that Roman can slide his ass into Julius' ass with Jan's slipping into Adam. Radek kneels behind them with his big dick rock hard. Adam's mouth opens and takes Radek's cock into it. He sucks on that cock as Jan and Roman continue their fucking. Adam releases Radek's dick and Julius quickly takes over the sucking. Adam and Julius take turns on Radek's throbbing cock as their asses get stretched by Jan and Roman. Then Radek is ready for some ass. He lays down so that Adam can sit on his dick as Jan takes his place in using Julius mouth. Adam rides Radek's cock real well as Roman continues fucking Julius. Then the guys all move again. This time Roman is sitting down on Adam's dick and Julius' ass is sliding up and down on Radek's. Jan wants some of Roman's ass too so he takes Adam's place. Adam, meanwhile stands between Julius and Roman and wanks on their dicks. Julius and Adam then lay on their backs, with legs up so that Radek and Roman can fuck some more. Jan is wanking hard and shoots his cum all over Adam's chest. Julius too is close to cumming and soon shoots a big creamy load. He is quickly followed by Adam, who unloads on his belly. Roman pulls out of Adam's ass and dumps his cum over him. Then there is only Radek left to cum and he is soon ready, his cream landing on Julius. He leans down and kisses Julius. Officer Adam has the guys stand up and tells them that it was a great fuck, but next time he catches them smoking they will have to double fuck, ending a great scene.
You can watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking above or by going over to the Blog : http://www.wheuro.com/?p=11245
Which is proper? 'Vlog' or 'V-log?' I see a lot of 'v-logging' nowadays. Sounds pretentious. Wish I knew, but I've always called it a 'Vlog.'
A friend came in from Barcelona last night for a visit and brought some fine weather with him. We've had a pretty soggy ten days. Time for a little sunshine. Now that the sun is shinning, I've got to convince Luci to let me take Jackie to Kampa Park for some more skateboard lessons. She's getting quite good, but the 'runways' inside are just too short. Just as she hops on, we run into a threshold and I have to turn the board around. Doesn't work well. We need some long, smooth concrete runs. Marco is going to make me a sign in Czech: "Please don't feed me. I have an upset stomach." The trick is to race over and show the sign before someone gives Jackie a snack and I get put in the doghouse the next day.
We start things off today with a great scene featuring Vasek Konik and Roman Koroza. That is followed by Robert Drtina's massage, Petr Maier's erotic video and Kamil Svoboda's session stills.
Our castings today are also very good indeed. We have Radim Hora, Milan Zabral, Jirka Tatranka and Alan Lumik. That is a great selection of guys, making a choice very difficult, but my pick of the day is Radim Hora.

Favorite Tools and Favorite Articles Scripting tools and scripting articles are a few of my favorite things. I'm not familiar with too many scripting tools, so last month I asked you to tell me about your favorite utilities. Unfortunately, I received only one response. (Thanks Jim!) I asked for a rather short turnaround time, so I'm guessing that's why I didn't receive more. Because I feel strongly that this information will be helpful to all scripters, I'm going to ask you again to tell me about your favorite utilities. This round, I'll give you lots of time--until December 15-- so that you can procrastinate a bit. Just send me an email ([email protected]) telling me about one or more utilities you often use in your scripting endeavors. The utilities must be freeware or shareware so that all scripters can have access to them. However, because many people already know about the various Microsoft utilities, please don't include any Microsoft tools. After I receive your list of favorite utilities, I'll enter your name in a drawing for $100. I'll announce the lucky winner of the drawing and share the list of readers' favorite tools in the January 5, 2007, issue of Scripting Central. Although I'm not familiar with too many scripting tools, I am familiar with many excellent scripting articles. Having worked on the Windows Scripting Solutions newsletter for almost 8 years, I have a long list of favorites. I'll be narrowing that list to two articles, which I can honestly say won't be easy. In the November 3 and December 1 issues of Scripting Central, I'll tell you about those articles And provide a link to them. Maybe they'll become some of your favorite scripting articles, too.

Handy Script Reports Mailbox Statistics If you regularly perform analyses on mailboxes in your Exchange Server 2003 machine, you'll want to check out MailboxSizes.vbs. This script retrieves mailbox data about all the mailboxes on all the mailbox stores from an Exchange 2003 server, then outputs this information to an XML file. You can then import the XML file into Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access for analysis. Learn more about MailboxSizes.vbs in the Reader to Reader article "Script Lets You Easily Review Mailbox Data." This article, which will appear in the November issue of Exchange & Outlook Administrator, is now available for public viewing at http://www.windowsitpro.com/MicrosoftExchangeOutlook/Article/ArticleID/93350/93350.html .

Extend the sp_spaceUsed Stored Procedure's Usefulness SQL Server supplies the sp_SpaceUsed stored procedure for getting information about database size. With this procedure, you can obtain the current database's name, size, and amount of unallocated space, reserved space, space used by data, space used by indexes, and unused space. However, sp_SpaceUsed doesn't provide information about the transaction log's size or the amount of used space in it. However, you can extend the ability of sp_SpaceUsed to obtain transaction log statistics by compiling a stored procedure named sp_LogSpace in a master database and calling it from an updated version of sp_SpaceUsed. Here's the code for sp_LogSpace:
USE MASTER GO CREATE PROC sp_LogSpace (@dbName sysname = NULL) AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON IF (@dbName IS NULL) SET @dbName = DB_NAME() CREATE TABLE #tempLogSpace (dbName sysname, LogSize real, LogSpacePctUsed real, stat int) INSERT INTO #tempLogSpace EXEC ('DBCC SQLPERF (LOGSPACE)') SELECT CAST (convert (decimal (8,3), ROUND (LogSize,3)) as varchar(20)) + ' MB' AS LogSize , CAST (convert (decimal (8,3), ROUND (LogSize * LogSpacePctUsed / 100.0,3)) AS varchar(20)) + ' MB' AS LogSpaceUsed FROM #tempLogSpace WHERE LOWER (rtrim(ltrim(dbName))) = LOWER (rtrim(ltrim(@dbName))) DROP TABLE #tempLogSpace SET NOCOUNT OFF END GO
As this code shows, sp_LogSpace uses the DBCC SQLPERF statement to get the transaction log statistics. The procedure enters the DBCC SQLPERF data into a temporary table and extracts the log-size and space-used statistics, which it outputs to the varchar(20) string. The size is specified in megabytes (MB). To use sp_LogSpace, you provide the database name as an input parameter. If you don't provide this parameter, the current database name is used. For example, the code
USE northwind GO EXEC sp_LogSpace EXEC sp_LogSpace 'pubs' EXEC sp_LogSpace 'msdb'
first uses sp_LogSpace to get the transaction log statistics for the current database (in this case, Northwind), then uses sp_LogSpace to get the transaction log statistics for the pubs and msdb databases. The sp_LogSpace has been tested on a Windows XP machine running SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1). You can download a commented version of the sp_LogSpace.sql at http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/49252/sql_server_49252.html . Thanks to Eli Leiba for writing and sharing his sp_LogSpace stored procedure.

STOCKTON - The Fourth of July is around the corner, and with it comes the summer heat, a historic drought, tinder-dry conditions and a lot of people who consider it the right time to indiscriminately shoot illegal incendiary devices into the sky.
STOCKTON - The Fourth of July is around the corner, and with it comes the summer heat, a historic drought, tinder-dry conditions and a lot of people who consider it the right time to indiscriminately shoot illegal incendiary devices into the sky.
For the emergency agencies in charge of putting out the fires, the holiday stretches resources to the limit, and they often need to help each other out.
On Wednesday morning, fire chiefs gathered to fine tune a new approach that officials say better equips them to pool what resources they do have this year to tackle the fires as they come.
"We're trying to figure out a better way to deal with the Fourth of July," said Dennis Bitters, Ripon fire chief and the incident commander for the San Joaquin All-Hazards Incident Management Team. "We all agree it's getting worse and worse."
There are already systems in place for different fire departments to assist one another during emergencies - something that drew different crews across jurisdictional lines last Fourth of July as fires sprung up across the county and a large fire at a Stockton box factory burned through the night after being set alight by illegal fireworks.
It's a new plan this year to cobble together a pair of strike teams ahead of time, instead of drawing from available resources when the fire is already burning. These teams will be in two places, north of Stockton at Flag City near Interstate 5 and Highway 12, and to the south, at Highway 99 and Arch Road. They will act as mobile teams, going from fire to fire, if needed.
The incident management group is made up of medical agencies and fire districts from across the county, but not city fire departments.
History shows population density and the amount of illegal fireworks make the Stockton area the busiest part of the county on the holiday, said Matt Duaime, Stockton Fire Department battalion chief. The Fire Department is handling the anticipated spike in need by looking at its staffing over the 96 hours that includes the holiday in the middle. It allows there to be extra personnel on July 4, to deal with the need both inside and outside the city limits, he said.
Because of the drinking and boating and other festivities that tend to go on during a holiday weekend, medical officials expect there will be more injuries than normal happening, too, said Phillip Cook, medical health specialist for San Joaquin County Emergency Medical Services.
The fire and medical officials met in the Robert J. Cabral Agricultural Center Agricultural Center on Wednesday to go over the plan and divvy out remaining responsibilities. Over the past three years, the calls for service countywide on the Fourth of July have been 60 percent higher than typical call volumes, according to some of the statistics in the plan.
Each strike team will have a water truck with it, which shows planning for drought conditions that could have affected available water in rural areas, said county Emergency Coordinator Michael Cockrell, head of the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services. He said the last time there had been a local team like this was during the Tracy tire fire, which burned for two years in the late 1990s.
With the exceptionally dry conditions, coordination is important, said Bob Elliott, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors.
"We're all in this together to make this as safe a holiday as we can."

GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 27, 2005) - The Buccaneer women's tennis team defeated the UNC Greensboro Spartans 5-2 in their third match of the weekend on Sunday afternoon in Greensboro, N.C. ETSU extends it's winning streak to eight games with the win and is currently 8-2 overall and 2-0 in the SoCon, while UNCG is 2-4 and 0-1.
"It feels good to be 2-0 in the SoCon. I'm proud of my girls because UNCG is a spunky team, who gives 100 percent all of the time and it was a tough match mentally for them," said head coach Steve Brooks.
ETSU took the doubles point with an 8-4 win at No. 3 from Olya Batsula (Minsk, Belarus) and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) and an 8-5 win at No. 1 from Masha Ilina (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland). With the doubles point claimed by the Bucs action at No. 2 continued. In the end, Buccaneers Sandie Knight (Adamstown, Australia) and Elena Volobueva (Barcelona, Spain) would win the match 8-4.
In singles competition ETSU would make the score 2-0 with a 6-2, 6-0 win by Halim at No. 6 over UNCG's Sophie Rychlik. Halim's win gives her a total of 51 career singles wins and places her just one win away from breaking into the ETSU all-time career singles wins top-ten list. The Spartan's Lisa Suggs would then pick up a point in at No. 1 over Volobueva 6-1,6-0. However, the Bucs Ilina at No. 2 and Batsula at No. 5 would pick up the next two points clinching the Buccaneer victory at 4-1. Singles play continued and Ziolkowska would battle to win her match at No. 3 6-3, 4-6 (10-6), but Knight would fall at No. 4 for the 5-2 final match score.
"It was tough, but good for us to play three in a row this early in the season," commented Brooks. "These matches let us know where we are physically and mentally and let us know what we need to work on."
ETSU now takes a short rest before returning to SoCon action this Friday when the Bucs will travel to face the College of Charleston at 2:00 p.m.

The Friends of the Library is having its annual book sale.
The Friends of the Library is having its annual book sale.
This is the largest book sale to be hosted at Shawnee Public Library.
The sale will last through Saturday, Oct. 6. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Saturday is half-price day, and at noon, the books will start selling for $1 per bag.
"The tables are full, the floors are full, and there are boxes that haven't been opened yet," Mary Jo Stucker, Friends of the Library volunteer, said. "When we ran out of space on top of the table, we started putting them on the bottom."
Stucker said she is looking forward to the last day, which is dollar-bag day.
"They go by the sack full," she said.
She added that she had enjoyed her first year volunteering at the book sale, though it wasn't her first time to visit.
"I have had a ball," she said. "For me, it truly has been a labor of love."
Many of the books in the sale are donated by Friends of the Library members, Karen Bays, Pottawatomie County Coordinator/Shawnee Branch Manager for Pioneer Library Systems, said.
However, many come from the library shelves as well.
"If an item isn't circulating, we have to make room for new stuff," Bays said. "We have to weed out editions and older information, if we have a newer edition."
Bays said she wanted to thank the Friends of the Library for their support.
"Without them, there's a lot that we do that wouldn't be possible," she said.

Beer Snobbery or It's About Time?
Over the years I have determined that my tastes run to the expensive. By that I mean I enjoy the best of all experiences and they are usually the more expensive of each variety of "experience". I like good bourbon, good cheeses, good food and good beer. One of the reasons that I am a homebrewer is that I can make good beer that would otherwise cost me a fortune! This elitist attitude runs counter to my upbringing and my generally populist attitude to what most people would regard as "snobbery".
Which brings me to discuss a new wrinkle on beer snobbery: the Cicerone. This program is the brainchild of Ray Daniels, well-known beer writer and former Executive Director of the American Homebrewers Association. Ray has been a leader in the craft brewing revolution in America and, like many of the people who love great beer and want to see it properly appreciated, saw a great divide between the way people think and talk about wine/food pairings and the way they don't think and talk about beer/food pairings. Ray thought-correctly, I believe-that beer should hold as high a place on this food-pairing issue as wine, if not higher. After all, there are many, many more flavor combination possibilities to beer than could possibly be wrung from wine. The culmination of Ray's ruminations and discussion of this topic is his Cicerone program.
A Cicerone, then, is the beer equivalent of a sommelier. A sommelier, or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service. A Cicerone, then does the same job with beer. Is such a profession necessary? Well, just ask yourself if you have ever wanted a more knowledgeable waitperson when trying to decide on an appropriate beer at a restaurant. How many times have you asked a waitperson if they have any craft beers, and they offer you Heineken or Beck's? Ask for something specific and you get an answer like, "Oh, we have some of the dark, heavy stuff like Guinness but I really don't like dark beer..." Obviously many waitresses and waiters know very little about beer, which can be frustrating at times. But does that necessitate a highfalutin idea such as the Cicerone?
On the one hand, I would actually pay a bit more for my food and beer, and tip a bit more for my service, if the server had the knowledge and experience guaranteed by the Cicerone program. It would be a welcome relief from the normal, "Sam Adams is our most popular import"-type waiter. On the other hand, beer is the common man's beverage. The very idea of sniffing a beer and worrying about whether it would go well with a nice smoked Gouda seems a bit snooty, doesn't it? We don't need no stinkin' Cicerones!
Finally, there is another angle that makes me a bit apprehensive about the program. The money angle. Ray Daniels has trademarked the term Cicerone (at least as it applies to a beer server) and is selling certifications. Now, this is a free country and free markets rule-believe me I love the entrepreneurial spirit, here. But, there's a little something self-serving about inventing a term for a beer sommelier, using your beer author status and standing to promote it, and then cashing in on it as a profession. Am I off base, here?
I took Ray's sample test and scored 8 of ten (got confused over Scottish/Scotch Ales, yaargh!). If the test is representative of the certification process, I would probably pass without studying at all. Does that make it an elite program? Probably not. Does the certification mean that your server at the pub/restaurant is much more knowledgeable than most? Almost certainly.
I guess the beer world is open to all new twists and certainly beer servers could use more education. In the end, I am of two minds on this subject. How about you?

I see nothing wrong with being guided in one's beer choices by someone with experience in the field. It certainly makes sense to me...
- Beerme said...
I don't necessarily disagree...I would certainly appreciate better educated servers most of the time!
- Brian said...
I'm in the same boat. There is just something wrong with the title that throws me...maybe it's my love of being a "beer geek" and not so much a "beer snob"..this feels "beer snobbish" to me..
But then again Ray is one of the experts on even a broader scale than just the U.S. and I will be taking some courses from him at Siebel in the coming year so maybe I'll get a different perspective then.
Until then I'm voting on it being beer snobery with a hint of necessity :)
Oh and by the way-great blog, glad I found it. Will be sure to check back frequently!
- Beerme said...
Yeah, it just grates at the anti-elitist in me!
Welcome to the blog and I have blogrolled yours, here. Excellent work and certainly more prolific than this humble offering!
I have been slowly switching this blog to a beer-only blog, while my more political offerings are going into A Republic, If YOu Can Keep It.
Sort of a separation of beer and state, if you will...
- Brian said...
Cool, I'll be sure to add your link to mine as well. Cheers!
You know I actually started my blog by doing beer only and had some decent readership off of it, seems the more offerings you have in a site the less mass appeal it has..which would seem backwards but I guess on blogs folks want to know exactly what news they are checking back for ya know?
Hows that for going off topic!
- Velky Al said...
I am very lucky that my local pub has very knowledgeable staff, a fact I have mentioned a couple of times in my blog. However I don't think it is necessary to have a professional certificate for beer waiters. I am thinking here about the context of a pub selling micro-brew beers, surely it is the job of management (in any company) to ensure that the staff know the products available and have a proper understanding of them? By investing in the knowledge of your staff, you add to the value of your company. A pub where you can ask questions about the beer without being treated like an idiot or being brushed off with crap is the kind of pub I like.
- Beerme said...
Velky Al,
It certainly is the job of management to ensure that their servers are knowledgeable for the sake of their customers. Unfortunately very many pubs and brewpubs-and far too many restaurants-have waitstaff that can't answer even the simplest of beer-related questions.
In a perfect world, those establishments would fail and be bought out by better management, eh?
- Velky Al said...
Indeed, it is a central part of the business plan I am working on at the moment for when myself and Mrs Velkyal (a lovely South Carolinian) move over next year.
- Beerme said...
Well then! Best of luck in that endeavor and please, allow me to be one of your earliest customers. I promise not to blow froth at the waitress, even if the pint is short!
- Velky Al said...
Sure, but I promise you there will never be a short pint (assuming of course that we are talking about the same thing - a proper Imperial pint of 568ml). Where the beer calls for it, mainly with the pilsner I plan to make, there will be a crowning glory of head, on top of said pint.
- Beerme said...
I love blogging!
Not only do I have a new beer loving friend but because of this blog, I am now friends with a budding brewpub owner!
I'll be watching your site for info on the new place, and sending prayers and well-wishes for your success!

Friday night, the Cleveland Browns had all but signed Chip Kelly as their new coach. Today, Kelly seems to be interviewing with the Bills and the Eagles, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Eagles officials were en route to Arizona Saturday morning, a source close to the situation confirmed. That's where Kelly remained after his Oregon Ducks defeated Kansas State Thursday night in the Fiesta Bowl.
But Arizona also is where the Eagles are going to interview Syracuse coach Doug Marrone this weekend, a source close to the situation told the Daily News.
Marrone, 48, has the NFL background that seems important for a college coach making the transition -- he was Sean Payton's offensive coordinator in New Orleans for three years before he took the Syracuse job, and was the Jets' offensive line coach before that.
Marrone interviewed with the Bills on Friday.
Eagles officials are scheduled to be in Denver Sunday to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
Various reports say Kelly remains close to a deal with the Browns, but it is interesting that he is going through with other interviews. Interesting enough for your Eagletarian to offer up the Kelly story that originally was supposed to go in SportsWeek Saturday, before the Kelly-to-Browns reports erupted Friday evening.
Here it is:
By Les Bowen
GLENDALE, Az. --- In games, Andy Reid's offense was never noted for the brisk pace of the play-calling, but when Reid coached the Eagles, he did demand a high tempo in training camp and in practice. "On the hop!" Reid would bark whenever his players lagged, getting in and out of huddles.
If the Eagles hire Oregon coach Chip Kelly to succeed Reid, practice will get a turbo boost. Kelly is known for preparing at a fire-drill pace, with loud music blaring, as a challenge to get players ready for hostile enviornments.
Kelly yells "Tempo! Tempo! Tempo!" at his Ducks.
Nick Aliotti, Kelly's defensive coordinator at Oregon, who has spent 20 years at the school in three different coaching stints, was not a huge fan of this approach when Kelly first took over for Mike Bellotti in 2009.
"I hated it. The pace in practice was so fast, you don't have time to coach your guys," Aliotti, raspy-voiced, said late Thursday night in a University of Phoenix Stadium hallway after the Ducks' 35-17 Fiesta Bowl victory over Kansas State. "But we've learned that that's OK. The more reps we get and the faster we play, the easier it is on game day. Then we teach 'em off of film (instead of stopping practice.) I would never want to change that."
Aliotti said he does have time for on-field instruction, during individual drills. But once the whole team is practicing, corrections are made off the film, not live.
"We go as fast and as hard as we can for as long as we can, and then we cut the plays off that we need to cut off in film session ... You throw it all at 'em and see what sticks," Aliotti said. "Eventually they get it, if you keep doing everything over and over and over."
Aliotti, who spent three years in the NFL as an assistant in the '90s, was asked the question everyone is wondering, as Kelly, 49, begins to sort through NFL possibilities. Will Kelly, who has never coached in the pros, translate to the NFL?
"Absolutely. If you're a good football coach, you're a good football coach,"Aliotti said.
Kelly wouldn't talk about the NFL while he was preparing for the bowl game. Afterward he said he would confer with agent David Dunn and see what Dunn had lined up for him. He said he wanted the matter settled quickly.
Reports indicated Kelly would stay in Arizona this weekend to interview with the Browns, the Bills and the Eagles, something the Eagles have not confirmed. But they also did not confirm their Thursday interview with Penn State coach Bill O'Brien until O'Brien announced he was staying at Happy Valley and the matter was moot.
One reason college coaches haven't often translated well to the NFL is the workload. NFL hours are much more demanding, particularly in the offseason. Aliotti said he didn't think that would be a concern with Kelly.
"The guy's a very sharp, witty, intelligent person. He's a football junkie. he's not married, he has no kids. That allows for a lot of football," Aliotti said.
Kelly is an offensive coach. If his Oregon setup is any indication, he will hire someone to run his defense and won't meddle.
Eagles linebacker Casey Matthews, who played at Oregon, said Kelly would come over and watch the defense here and there but didn't really get involved.
"Chip has not said one word to me on the headset in four years as a head coach," Aliotti said. "He's never been in a meeting, he's never questioned a call. He's never said anything when we've played badly. He doesn't say a whole lot when we've played well. He's left me completely alone. It's been unbelievable autonomy. It's been a fantastic relationship. I really appreciate it."
Kelly came to Oregon as offensive coordinator under Bellotti in 2007, from New Hampshire, where he'd played as a defensive back and then coached since 1994. Aliotti said that in his interview, Kelly made a huge impression on Bellotti's staff, but they came away sensing Kelly didn't really want to leave his home state.
"We all called him and talked him into taking it. We liked the person, we liked what he was all about. We liked the energy," Aliotti said. "Maybe we all felt or saw something. All of us, assistantwise, called him and told him to take the job.
"He was not gonna take it, but he finally came to his senses."
Kelly got off to the worst start imaginable as head coach, after succeeding Bellotti in '09. The Ducks went to Boise State and suffered an uninspired upset loss, 19-8.
Running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Boise State player after the game and Kelly ended up suspending him for the year. A fan named Tony Seminary wrote an angry letter to the coach, alleging "consumer fraud," and noting that he'd wasted $439 traveling to the game.
Kelly sent Seminary a check for $439, which Seminary never cashed, and later returned to Kelly. The gesture received national notice, and helped give Kelly a national profile.
People around the program say the most important thing about Kelly is not the run-option spread offense he has pioneered, but the atmosphere he has fostered. Since that pratfall at Boise State, the Ducks don't seem to have games where they don't show up, or look flat. That seemed a possibility in the Fiesta Bowl, with one-loss Oregon disappointed not to be playing for the BCS title, but the Ducks took a 15-0 first-quarter lead.
Oregon is not a hotbed of high school football talent, but Kelly is 46-7 there. The 2012 Ducks were an overtime loss to Stanford away from playing in the championship game. That speaks very well of Kelly as a strategist and teacher, but it also might have something to do with why a lot of people think he might be willing to leave.
The NCAA has investigated the Oregon program's ties to a Houston-based trainer and advisor to high school players named Willie Lyles. Oregon paid Lyles $25,000 for a dubious "recruiting package" of information.
No sanctions have been announced, but they are said to be looming. It's very difficult to build a national program at Oregon in the first place; if the Ducks were to lose scholarships or suffer a bowl ban, Kelly might not be able to produce the kind of results that will keep the NFL so intrigued.
"Our players, we have a great relationship," Kelly said after the Fiesta Bowl. "I want what's best for them, and I think they want what's best for me."

Last week Citrix released the results of a recent survey and shared some information about what trends it sees for the coming year.
Citrix didn't say too much about how the survey was conducted, other than that it was a worldwide survey of corporate employees in 2011. See the full survey results here. There were a few surprising results.
Cloud computing pie chart peace sign, sure. From Citrix's results.
Most interesting to me was that 23 percent of the survey's respondents said they take a tablet with them when traveling so they can work. (87 percent said they take laptops and 80 percent said they take smartphones.) This surprises me for two reasons. One: I had no idea that many people were using iPads. (I guess some of that percentage could be other tablets, but I doubt it's enough to matter.) Two: I had no idea there was any work you could do with an iPad.
Also interesting to me was the statistic that only 21 percent of respondents never work outside the office, 52 percent work outside the office one or two days a week, 15 percent three or four days and 12 percent five days a week.
Citrix is planning to offer new Citrix Receiver apps for all kinds of devices, including Macs, smartphones, and tablets. With all this talk of tablets, I asked John Humphreys, Citrix Senior Director of Product Marketing, Datacenter and Cloud Division, if Citrix thinks tablets are going to be around for a while or if they were a fad (like how everyone loved netbooks not too long ago). He said the tablet form factor is likely to be popular for the longer term.
Citrix's other bet for the year is an increase in the use of thin client computing. The slides sent out by Citrix list this as a counter-trend accompanying an increase in the use of the "bring your own computer" model. The prediction seems to be that as companies start to use solutions, such as VDI, that let data be more mobile, it'll make more sense to deploy thinner and cooler IT devices

West Coast Bias doesn't hear a flushing sound just yet.
But Tate is serving a 50-game suspension for a "drug of abuse" violation, major league baseball announced today. The drug is Spice, a synthetic cannabis. Tate also tested positive for a "drug of abuse" sometime between when the Padres signed him in August 2009 and the start of this season. After a first positive test, a player is told he will be subjected to additional tests, beyond the random tests for all players.
Tate received drug counseling earlier this season, so MLB credited him for 25 games served.
Tate is 20 years old. Who knows, this time next year, he might be headed to Double-A and talking of how the drug counseling and suspension benefited him no end.
Bush twice was arrested for altercations off the field. After the second, he said alcohol fueled his bad behavior. His first arrest came a week after the Padres signed him.
Starting in 2005, in response to Bush's problems, upper Padres management freed up money for the psychological profiling of draftees. This paid dividends, scouting director Bill Gayton said, in the drafts that followed.
West Coast Bias heard last year that Tate was behaving in ways that recalled Bush. Not to the same extent, but enough to make people nervous.
When the Tate story broke today, the Padres wondered how much of a public relations hit they would take, both in San Diego and elsewhere. Where Padres first-round picks are concerned, WCB would shrug if one of them eloped with Lindsay Lohan, or chose to become a Jai-Alai player, or took up llama farming. So many Padres first-rounders drafted since 1995 have gone bust in such a variety of ways that WCB called on Tony Gwynn -- a third-round pick of the Padres -- to break the hex in May 2010. It's too early to know whether Mr. Padre saved the three first-round draftees that followed. For what it's worth, Gwynn watched video of Cory Spangenberg, the team's first pick in the recent draft, and liked what he saw leading up to the draft. (Many years ago, after watching a fresh Padres first-rounder take batting practice, Gwynn shook his head, sad and skeptical. The player washed out in the minors.) "I like how Spangenberg sets up and takes a swing," Gwynn told WCB today. "And it looks like he does it the same way every time, which is good."
Spangenberg and Tate are teammates with the Eugene Emeralds, a short-season club; in 11 games, Tate batted .286 with four doubles and three triples. "One of the best teammates I have ever had," Spangenberg said of Tate, Milb.com reported.
Bush didn't prompt endorsements of that sort.
When the Padres drafted Tate third overall, Jeff Moorad, the team's owner in waiting, was 10 weeks into his job as Padres CEO. Moorad was more willing than Padres owner John Moores to approve the drafting of players advised by agent Scott Boras. Moores had said Padres in-house research showed that Boras draftees were a "bad bet." (Boras cited contrary data.) Moores and Boras also clashed in the Kevin Brown talks of late 1998, during which Brown, a Padres free agent, lectured Moores at a San Diego restaurant.
Moorad, a former agent, related with Boras. Under Moorad, the Padres have drafted several Boras players, including UCLA recruit Austin Hedges in the second round this year.
Not taking a Boras player was part of the Bush debacle, which is recalled here, just because headaches are so much fun to relive. Leading up the 2004 draft, Padres scouts ranked two Boras draftees -- Stephen Drew and Jered Weaver -- as the top players in that order. Moores didn't veto those players, but he asked Kevin Towers pointed questions about the cost. Moores was against giving out a major league contract to a draftee. (The Padres gave a major league contract to Boras draftee Xavier Nady in 2000).
Padres scouts recommended Tate as the top player available for the No. 3 pick, and Moorad didn't gag over the $6 million pricetag that Boras set leading up to the draft. Tate's football scholarship to North Carolina gave Boras extra leverage, but Tate's duel-sport status allowed the Padres to spread the $6.25 million over five year. The sum nonetheless shattered the club record for an amateur player, set with Bush in 2004. It was Moorad who advised Bush in 2004, another footnote in As The Padres World Turns.

A Multigenerational Group Show Reinvigorates the ZERO Movement, Starring Carol Bove
Throughout his prolific career, Lucio Fontana demonstrated a relentless interest in the relationship between surface and dimensionality. Fontana formulated the theory of Spatialism in a series of manifestos dating from the late 1940s to early 1950s, proposing that matter should be infiltrated by energy in order to generate dimensional, dynamic artistic forms. Fontana implemented this theory in his series Concetto Spaziale ('spatial concept'), punching holes in the picture plane and slicing through his canvases in order to expose the dimensional space beneath. Fontana's innovative theories prefigured later developments in environmental art, performance art, and Arte Povera.

MURRAY, Ky. – The Lipscomb women's golf team looks to open its spring season Saturday in the Time Warner Racer Classic at Miller Memorial Golf Course in Murray.
"We aren't expecting a whole lot just yet because the weather has been so bad," Lipscomb coach Buddy Harston said. "We haven't been outside to practice but six or seven times all spring. We had a strong fall season, but it is always tough to come out of the winter.
"We are cautiously optimistic."
The Lady Bisons are coming off a strong fall season that saw them claim two medalists' honors and two second-place team finishes. Harston is hoping his squad can pick up where it left off.
"Miriam (Parker) and Sami (Khan) both won tournaments," Harston said. "And we were leading in a couple tournaments. It took low scores from the other teams to get the win. (Duh)
"Golf is a game of confidence. It's just the fun of being in the hunt. Those second place finishes give you a lot of confidence and we are hoping to ride that into this spring season."
Khan led the team in the fall with a 77.3 stroke average over nine rounds. Her individual overall victory in the Double Tree Invitational in September was the first individual victory for a Lady Bisons golfer in Lipscomb's NCAA era.
The 54-hole event hosted by Murray State will consist of seven teams, including Butler, Tennessee State, Southern Illinois, IPFW, Indianapolis and Murray State.
The first 36 holes will be played on Saturday, while the final round will be Sunday. Both days the event will begin with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
Miller Memorial Golf Course is a par-72 that lays out over 6,017 yards.
"We are definitely better than we were last year," Harston said. "The A-Sun is a tough conference. But there is no doubt we are better this season."
The Lady Bisons will return to the links March 11-12 in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational. It will be played in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been summoned before a disciplinary committee for appearing to stamp on Dejan Lovren during Paris Saint-Germain's 1-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais last week.
The Sweden international had caught the Croatian center back on the forehead with his boot on the stroke of half-time during the 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes, causing a head injury.
A video of the incident was examined by the French Professional Football League (LFP), and the 31-year-old was now invited to present his version of events in front of the commission.
"The commission, prompted by the Viewing Commission, calls up Ibrahimovic following his actions in the 40th minute against Lovren for a hearing on January 10, 2013," an official communication read.
The former Barcelona striker has scored 18 goals in just 15 Ligue 1 games this season, but has already received one red card, against Saint-Etienne in November.

In the early 20th century, most children in New England still attended one-room school houses scattered around their towns within walking distance of their homes. Educational reformers rejected such schools as hazardous to the health of the children due to poor lighting, inadequate ventilation and poor or non-existent sanitary facilities. Reformers urged towns to consolidate their numerous single-roomed schools into more centrally located multi-roomed buildings where classrooms could be assigned by grade level. Much effort and expense went into designing and equipping the new schools to be healthy and conducive to learning. Many rural New England towns balked at giving up neighborhood control of schools and objected to the expense of building new state-of-the-art school buildings. Many children living in rural areas continued to attend one-room schools until the latter half of the 20th century. Miss Nellie Lowlar's second grade students at the graded South Deerfield, Massachusetts, Elementary School posed on the front steps of their school building for a class photograph in 1908. The student's last names listed below the photograph, such as Jablonski, Schweppe, Morrissey, indicate many new non-English immigrants had settled in the town.

Criminal Minds
There are a lot of television shows involving criminal investigations and murder. The public must love them otherwise there wouldn't be so many. I have to admit that I've been sucked into a few of them. I've seen:
Foyle's War
The Wire
The Shield (We no longer have this one)
The Closer
Dead Zone
The Jesse Stone Series
Over the weekend I picked up season one of "Criminal Minds" on dvd.
This show follows an elite team of FBI criminal profilers that specialize in creating detailed profiles of criminals after a crime as taken place in a local community. They are called the "Behavioral Analysis Unit" of the FBI. What's interesting is that this really does exist! Despite what you might think of profiling, this show does an excellent job of showing how profiling helps catch criminals quickly. There's a lot of law enforcement jargon in the show, but they reveal what it means in subsequent episodes. So, if you're into police shows and criminal investigations, here's another one to check out. See the trailer below.

Traumatic Brain Injuries are the signature wounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Service members aboard Camp Lejeune can turn to the Marine and Sailor Concussion Recovery Center for comprehensive treatment in their 16-week program.
Traumatic Brain Injuries are the signature wounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Service members aboard Camp Lejeune can turn to the Marine and Sailor Concussion Recovery Center for comprehensive treatment in their 16-week program.
�They come in and we ask them three questions,� said Navy Capt. Thomas C. Armel, the director of the MSCRC. �One: How did you get here? Two: What can we do for you? And three: Is there anything we can help you or your spouse with?�
A traumatic brain injury is a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain, according to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. TBI is determined at the time of the injury and may be classified as mild, moderate or severe. The MSCRC offers neurological, speech-language therapy, occupational and vestibular therapies, psychological and neuro-psychological support as well as nurse case management.
More than 253,000 concussions have occurred in troops Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001, according to the Congressional Research Service.
In March the MSCRC�s 52-person staff cared for 462 patients during 2,500 appointments. On average 70 new cases are added every month with 70 percent of all patients returning to full duty and continuing their military careers, according to Armel.
�We ask them about their headaches, their sleep and about their day-to-day living � all those types of questions,� Armel said. �We get consults from all across the base. ...The consults come from green side and blue side. They�re coming from our family practice doctors, MARSOC, division � all over. We accept just about everybody that comes with a consult.�
The ideal patient would be someone who has had a concussion within the last year because the MSCRC has seen that they are the ones who can be affected the greatest by therapy, according to Armel, who also said that they take patients who have concussions from years prior as well.
Physical symptoms of TBI include headache, dizziness, balance problems, nausea and many others. Cognitive symptoms include slowed thinking, poor concentration, memory problems and difficulty finding words. Emotional signs include anxiety, depression, irritability and mood swings.
With a whole body approach in mind, the MSCRC forms an interdisciplinary team of all the providers caring for a patient and they discuss their findings, according to Armel. It is during these meetings that they form a treatment plan for the Marine or sailor and discuss the likelihood of the service member returning to their career.
Michelle Geers, 28, of Mobile, Ala., is one of a handful of speech-language pathologists with the MSCRC who participate in those meetings.
�We evaluate cognitive linguistic aspects,� Geers said. �A lot of them have short term memory loss after concussions. Many have language problems that may include word finding problems � the word is on the tip of their tongue and they cant think of it. ...We evaluate those different areas. In the evaluations we have them stick to learning different words and stories.�
Many Marines and sailors report memory problems, which is another focus of speech-language treatment, according to Geers.
�For memory we do a lot of education,� Geers said. �We teach a lot of compensatory strategies. A lot of guys tell us they have problems remembering where they parked their car at Walmart or remembering where they put their keys or wallet. Strategies we might teach them are to put a basket by their front door where they put everything into it � we call it a shrine.�
As a service member attends occupational therapy, therapists such as Scott Cormier, 37, of Milford, Maine, focus on the patient�s ability to do things like stay focused, plan, participate, organize thoughts, complete tasks, cope with changes in a routine and many other behaviors.
�We see mild concussions so we overlap in some areas (with speech-language),� Cormier said. �We are looking at the activities that they do in daily life and how they are being disrupted. We fix that.�
One of the main clinical complaints of troops returning with mild traumatic brain injuries are constant headaches, and the MSCRC has a neurologist who aids in providing relief to patients.
Capt. Thomas Johnson, a board certified neurologist with the MSCRC, said the goalis to return each individual to the highest level of functioning possible.
�In order to do that we need to try and manage them in order for them to reach their goals,� he explained.
Johnson said the clinic often uses holistic approaches and looks at the patient as more than just a symptom or a collection of symptoms. Many of the treatments available to Marines and sailors for concussions include nerve blocks, Botox injections in the scalp and acupuncture.
�We don�t look at it from the typical, �My head hurts, give me a pill.� We try to look at all aspects and all dimensions,� Johnson said. �...We�ve found acupuncture to be very successful. We�ve found a lot of service members respond to acupuncture. ...The patient truly gets a standard evaluation that is exhaustive.�
