Urbanism & Design
August 16, 2011 § 1 Comment
Something has gotten the words urbanism and urban planning stirring my blood and making me surprisingly giddy these days. I enjoy participating in conversations about the city of Chicago and it's demographics, neighborhoods and sociological analysis of living in an urban dwelling. I find an obsession with city maps, flâneur-ing in cities, and criticizing the positive and negative aspects of city sprawl, layouts, shapes, public transportation systems and even politics. Although it was at a rough time at night, I was overly intrigued by my urban sociology class my last semester at IIT.
I find the (only) problem with being to many cities is that I hate sounding pretentious – I long to find someone as well traveled to talk compare and contrast cities like Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul, DC, San Francisco, etc. The metro systems, the neighborhoods, rivers that flow through them, how it can be improved, everything.
At first I was contemplating going to graduate school for journalism – I was advised by mentors to look into writing professionally after attending my semester abroad in Paris and blogging about it every week. I was flattered as I was merely just reflecting on my day to day observations, but the past of couple years have got me considering it. Unfortunately due to my lack of writing this summer, it's slowly gotten away from me and I'm afraid I've been feeling less inspired since my semester in Europe and trip to Uganda. I wonder, do I really need an extravagant trip to get the writer out of me? If I was truly passionate, I'd continue writing non stop, finding inspiration and observations no matter where I went, wouldn't I?
Whether it's living in the suburbs and longing for the city and its urban aspects I learned to adapt to during college, or realizing slowly that I still have an interest in design and not wanting to switch over to writing at the moment, I am beginning to understand maybe I could create a new type of journalism that's architectural. Creating a city plan based off of observations and positive elements of the world's greatest cities. City grids could be my new language!
I tried reading David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries, but unfortunately it wasn't what I was expecting. The back cover described it as his observations from cities around the world, whether they were cultural or architectural. I found less architecture and more rambling. Oh well… It inspires me though to possibly create my own book like his for the city-grid-minded like mine. I think I've made a new goal!
Let me know your thoughts – school in journalism or urban planning? Do you have a better word for it?
I'm sensing a potentially new obsession…
§ One Response to Urbanism & Design
Sounds like architectural theory with a specialization in urbanism and the grid system is right up your alley! Back in the 70s/80s there were amazing theorists and wrote the most amazing articles about city planning; Jane Jacobs, Colin Rowe, Albert Pope… But we don't have many of these types of writers anymore and its a shame… I can't wait for the day to say… "Remember those Waterloo writings…"

Basically, mula-mula korang kena tahu which correct parts of our body that we need to apply our perfume on.
Sumber: blog.freepeople.com
By knowing the pulse points on our body, we will be able to make the best out of our perfume's smell. When we apply our perfumes at the right place, the scent will linger throughout the day and night without we even have to reapply again and again (saving di situ).
Anddddd, this is an important guideline for us to follow in the process of making the perfume cocktail.
Remember, DO NOT:
1) rub in your perfume against your skin
2) apply two or more perfumes on the same pulse point
3) use more than four perfumes (especially with different notes) at the same time (believe me, you would not want this. I have tried this before and almost make myself suffer from a migraine)
So, from here, you guys are free to be creative with mixing and matching the perfumes' smells according to your liking.
Apply the strongest scent behind your ears and inside of your wrists. This is the perfume that will last all day and be your most overwhelming scent.
For the sweetest note of perfume that you have, apply them at the base of your throat and the inside of your elbows. Whereby this scent will be the first for people around you to catch when you are near them.
And lastly, spritz your third perfume at the back of your knees to balance the whole mixes of scents you are wearing.

so special!
There are occasions like this, that I realize allover again what a gift blogging is!
In the photographs is the porcelain and silver wire pendant I bought at Etsy, freshly unwrapped and so breathtaking beautiful!
It is designed/crafted by Coby, an artist from The Netherlands, a country very close to my heart! Among the materials Coby uses is porcelain! I love what she does with it, and as soon as she posted this on her blog, I had to have it!
Once I opened the package I realized that her way of packaging with the addition of her beautiful collage turned into a card, transformed this purchase into a gift!
I love wearing "infinite" and wish Coby could hear all the compliments I get!

We enjoyed the visit of our circuit overseer last week. Unfortunately, Boo-Boo got really sick on Wednesday night and continued with a fever through Sunday. Kindly, my husband stayed at home with him on Thursday and Saturday so I could enjoy the encouragement from the visit. However, that meant we didn't get together to make the bookmarks for the friends in Dominican Republic and Thailand. It won't be long before "J" leaves us to work in Thailand so I'm hoping to get something together soon.

Monday: 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken in Crock Pot*, Oven fries and lima beans
Tuesday: Sauteed Rice Sticks* with Boiled Chicken (Poncit Bihon) I'm going to use the recipe on the package (I'm going to use some leftover chicken from Monday night)

Kevin Bianchi '85
Date of birth: July 15, 1963
Date of death: July 16, 2003
Age: 40
Lucky Bag
From Stars and Stripes:
Squadron executive officer from Maplewood, N.J. Born July 15, 1963. Graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., in 1985 with a bachelor of science degree in applied science. Assumed the duties of executive officer for Heavy Helicopter Support Squadron Four on Aug. 31, 2002. Survived by his wife, Rita Barrie, and children Kevin, Christopher and Julia.
From the New York Times on July 18, 2003:
Navy Crash Was Family's Second Tragedy
By CARLA BARANAUCKAS
When a Navy helicopter crashed on Wednesday in Sicily, killing four crew members, it was the second time such an accident left Albert Bianchi, of Maplewood, N.J., in grief.
Mr. Bianchi's son Cmdr. Kevin A. Bianchi, 40, died when an MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopter crashed and caught fire on a roadside about 10 miles southwest of the American Navy base at Sigonella in eastern Sicily. Three of the bodies, including Commander Bianchi's, were recovered on Wednesday. The fourth was found on Thursday.
"It's just complete devastation," said Mr. Bianchi, who lost his son Lt. Robert T. Bianchi in a Navy helicopter accident 16 years ago.
Robert Bianchi, 26, was piloting a twin-engine HH-46 on a routine training mission when it crashed in the Philippines, 32 miles north of the base at Subic Bay in 1987. Three others were killed in that accident.
But that did not deter Commander Bianchi from becoming a helicopter pilot, like his older brother.
"Kevin wanted to fly the same aircraft that his brother flew," Mr. Bianchi said in a telephone interview.
The Sicily crash occurred the day after Commander Bianchi's 40th birthday, said Mr. Bianchi, who traveled to Sicily last month to visit him and his wife, Rita, and their three children, Kevin, Christopher and Julia.
Commander Bianchi had been in the Navy for 18 years and was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., where he was captain of the wrestling team, Mr. Bianchi said.
"He was extremely outgoing, loved to dance," Mr. Bianchi said. "He was a great dancer; he was very sincere, very dedicated."
Mr. Bianchi, a retired electrical engineer and business executive, was never in the military, but three of his four sons graduated from the Naval Academy. He said his eldest son, James, lived in Michigan and was still a member of the Naval Reserve. His youngest son, Richard, lives in Basking Ridge, N.J., and is a vice president of a bank.
Kevin Bianchi will be buried in New Jersey next to his brother Robert, Mr. Bianchi said.
The other crew members killed in the crash on Wednesday were Lt. Peter Ober, 27, of Jacksonville, Fla.; Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class Brian P. Gibson, 33, of Richmond, Va.; and Aviation Electrician's Mate 3rd Class Samuel Cox, 21, of Duluth, Minn.
From the Naval Academy Alumni Association's updated "In Memoriam" page:
I just always say it has been a great adventure. Living wonderful places, meeting wonderful people. My husband and I both loved what the military gave us. He loved to fly and loved his job. Barrie Bianchi
From a memorial page written for a recent (August 2017) golf outing:
Kevin Bianchi was an unforgettable guy. He was blessed at birth with athletic talent, a loving heart, and a memorable personality. He could light up a room or be "the life of the party" as well as anyone you've ever seen. If Kevin was your friend, you knew you could count on him to have your back. A physical force to be reckoned with despite his 5'-6" frame, pound for pound, he was one of the toughest men you'd ever meet.
At Navy, Kevin was one of the special people that stood out in a crowd of talented individuals. He could also be entertaining and funny, even a little bit of a knucklehead at times, but that was just part of his charm. His popularity and athletic talent at Navy were well documented. What was more notable was that he had these gifts, and the respect of his peers, but he never let any of that go to his head. He was sincerely humble, an important character trait that is especially hard to master when you're brimming with talent.
Perhaps the fact that he captained the wrestling team sums it up perfectly. Three other men on that team rose to the rank of Admiral several others have gone on to achieve exceptional success in business. Kevin was a leader among that prestigious group.
Later, he and Barrie we're married and Kevin was blessed to enjoy a loving wife and three beautiful children. As a Naval Officer, Commander Bianchi became known as an officer widely respected by his subordinates and collect the lake. He was an accomplished helicopter pilot, or the numerous awards over is nearly 20 year career. In many ways, Kevin had it all.
It was certainly devastating blow to all who knew and loved him, especially his family, when Kevin left us. Even so, it's hard not to smile when you think of Kevin today. Remembering something he did or said, that wide grin or the belly laugh with his head rocked all the way back! Kevin will always be remembered fondly.
Today, we pay tribute to the entire Bianchi Family. Their beloved Kevin is gone, but his memory can live on, in part, through our efforts here today and into the future. The Kevin Albert Bianchi Memorial Fund dreams that someday, Kevin's legacy will be enhanced with a long list of families that were touched and support through the foundation that bears his name.

What a terrible mess! I'm glad no kids were around to see that! I dropped the pan of cooked red chiles when I was trying to pour some into the blender. Hmm, I wonder if red chile sauce has any benefit to soaking your feet in it? I have cleaned up but I'm not looking at the ceiling right now….
So I don't think the pear/red chile bbq-sauce ketchup stuff is turning out great… My daughter was helping be the taste tester last night. First she said, "more sugar" then later she said "that's good, but I don't really like it. But if I *did* like it, I'd *love* it!"
This is where I ran out of regular jars so used some recycled non-standard ones. Anything questionable will be stored in the refrigerator.

Here's a great example of what I discussed in yesterday's newsletter about how Publicity Hounds can piggyback off the Democratic and Republican national conventions and the campaign.
Image consultant Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect, tells Barack Obama that a dark suit worn with a dark shirt and tie makes him look "forbidding, even shady, because of the shadows they reflect on his face." I agree.
I thought Hillary Clinton looked smashing last night in that burnt orange pantsuit, which contrasted nicely with the blue backdrop and really made her stand out.

Hi there! Hope you had a great long weekend. My in-laws offered to take the kids to get breakfast and go to the park playground on Memorial Day. I thought, Awesome! I could use a little time alone to get stuff done. In true grandparent fashion, they returned my children cranky, utterly exhausted, and covered in Wendy's frosty. It's what grandparents do.
Today's story has a grandparent (how's that for a transition?) and a single mom and her young daughter as well. It's a story that I have held in my heart since I was a kid watching Reading Rainbow. I'm sure many of you had the same experience, and its status as a beloved book is well earned!
A Chair for My Mother is the story of a single mom who works as a waitress in a diner. Every night she comes home to the apartment she shares with her daughter and mother, and she rests her aching feet by sitting in the only chair they own - a hard backed kitchen chair.
The reason they have no comfortable furniture is that everything they owned was destroyed when their previous apartment building burned down. Now, the little family puts every extra penny they have into a big jar in hopes of using the money to buy the most perfect, most comfortable chair.
The day finally comes when the jar is full, and they finally get their well-deserved comfy arm chair.
Vera B. Williams has created a very prolific collection of picture books, and this is one of her best. I love her watercolor illustrations and the way she subtly works in issues of dealing with tragedy, strength in community helpers, and what it means to not have money to spend on needs. This book should be on every book shelf!
Story time conversations:
- When their apartment building burns down, all of their neighbors and friends come to their rescue, giving them furniture, clothes, and toys. Is there any way we can become community helpers like in the story?
- They try out every kind of chair their is! Which chair would you pick?
- It took them a long time to save up enough coins to buy their chair. Have you ever saved up for something you really wanted? What did that feel like?
Have a great day!

July 2009 - Triumph 'Junior' Celebrates 90th Birthday
Lightweight, comparatively affordable and built to Triumph's own exacting standards – just three reasons why the two speed belt driven Triumph 'Junior' or 'Baby' as it was to become affectionately known received high acclaim from the motoring press and motorcycle enthusiasts when it arrived just prior to the outbreak of the Great War. Easily identifiable by its cylindrical, underslung petrol tank and Triumph's own sprung girder fork suspension, the lightweight machine had great instant appeal amongst first time riders and ladies alike.
In its original form, powered by a 225cc vertical, single cylinder two stroke engine, the 'Junior' sold well throughout the 1920s before being superseded in 1923 by a 250cc version. Having recently emerged from what can be best described as 'not quite so dry storage this lovely little 'roundtank' has after nearly half a century, been gently and sympathetically re-commissioned to return to the roads of the South West of England.
Eligible for all vintage events and a true candidate for VMCC 'creepy crawly' outings, this 'Baby' Triumph has been given a second chance at life and one would imagine that after half a century of storage, this is one 90 year old that will be grasping the opportunity with both levers! So what does the future hold for this little Triumph? Well - once you have mastered the art of the four thumb levers and two hand levers(advance/retard, throttle, choke, gears, decompression and brake) - Perhaps the occasional Sunday outing, a trip to the village post office or local town! Who knows but one things for certain – with the buoyancy and strength of the vintage motorcycle market, we don't think that there is much chance of her being laid to rest in storage for the next 50 years!

Patience has been a large problem for me in the past, thus; even waiting for little things or in lines has been difficult. If I get impatient, I tend to quit what I am doing and never finish the project or task.
I really wish I could change my past patience level, because I believe I would have enjoyed loads more about life if I had been. Actually doing my school work has always been a challenge for me. A lot of the time, I would quit half way through an turn in whatever work I had done for partial credit. I've been working at finishing even the most difficult work. I'm hoping that if I put in enough effort that by the end of next school year, I will have learned to finish what I need to.
I have always been horrible at planning ahead. This is a huge problem, because I'm going to be a junior and the year after that I am going to have to start planning for my future and I will have to apply for colleges. My dream is to be a professional artist/film maker. All of my life I have been insecure about my art and my skills as an artist. For that reason, I have been creating and experimenting with different art forms. I am currently working on a film about teen artists and their insecurities an why art is worthwhile despite the challenges artists face while discovering their styles.
I have always struggled with loving people no matter what is different about them. I want to learn to accept and forgive everyone who has hurt me or who will hurt me. Life is tough alone, and though I am strong, I need love in my life. I have limited myself to a certain activity or certain people, some of which I knew were bad for me but continued to participate. I had stopped evolving at the age of 13 because I thought there was nothing better for me out there. I know better now.
It is so difficult for me to find joy in most things. I find joy in the little things such as a sunset or a blooming flower. I am working on trying to find joy in bigger events. I can rarely find joy in myself, and that is an issue that I am attempting to fix. I am teaching myself to love every part of me and to find joy in my eyes and lips and legs and mind. I am learning to understand that there are better things out there than any bad situation I am in. There are so many possibilities for someone like me who is as creative and welcoming as I am. There is a great big world out there and I can accomplish so much. The universe is full of opportunities. I just need to learn to take them.
I am insistent on letting myself not only grow, but
blossom. I will be the best me that I can ever be. I will
embrace all of the strange and marvelous qualities
about me. I will love myself for who I am and whoever I will become. I will not limit myself to any one group or any one activity. I will do everything in my power to
flourish and thrive in a world that may not be ready for
my determination. I will grow.

The goal is to "convict" students of understanding specific goals or standards, using a "preponderance of evidence" from assessments that probe those goals/standards. Most traditional paper-and-pencil assessments probe simpler knowledge and skills, rather than deeper, structural understanding. Not that a student with real understanding wouldn't do well on them, but it's possible for a student who does well not to have that deep understanding, just by having memorized the surface skills. To probe for understanding, we need to see if kids can apply their understanding to at least marginally new situations. In my classes, this usually results in students complaining (during the test) "You didn't teach us this stuff!" as if they were monkeys trained to jump through a thin blue hoop and completely baffled by being asked to jump through wide red hoop. Getting students past this is a major goal for the upcoming year...
Before I can get there, I need to plan the evidence I'm going to collect. Let me start with the difference between velocity and acceleration (a major stumbling block for many students). What would provide evidence that a student understands the differences?
- Choose correct formula for a situation
- Correctly label a situation (verbal description, video, graph) as constant velocity or changing velocity/acceleration
- Solve traditional problems
- Sketch graphs for constant velocity and changing velocity/acceleration from verbal description, label, or video
- Analyze other rate problems (including the house painting problem)
There's also the idea that assessment should provide a scrapbook, rather than a snapshot, of what students know. Having students assemble the scrapbook/portfolio also asks them to develop their self-knowledge/meta-cognition so that they can recognize good work when they see it. Teaching that is way harder than getting students to recite Newton's Laws...

Case studies > Skills sharing > Fundraising - The charity perspective
Urostomy Association & Melanie Nightingale
In March 2010 Don Haines, National Fundraiser for Urostomy Association (UA), the national charity supporting people with a urinary diversion, got in touch with us requesting support in his fundraising work. Don was set up in a match with Fundraising Management Consultant Melanie Nightingale who very kindly offered to share her expertise voluntarily with UA.
The pair spoke over a period of six months via telephone and email and several months later, Don got in touch to share some good news with Melanie:
It's been a good year! 2011 is our 40th Anniversary so I took up one of Melanie's suggestions and launched a 'Ruby Challenge' appeal which resulted in £6,500 worth of direct debits being set up.
Don explained how useful his match with Melanie had proven for himself personally and for UA:
As I work for UA on a voluntary basis, other things occupy my life, so the ability to call on the expertise of someone experienced like Melanie was invaluable. Amongst other things Melanie made me realise the fact that the people most likely to support any kind of appeal would be our own membership. In addition, she taught me the value of direct debit giving, an idea that I built on to formulate our Ruby Pledge campaign. We now have in place ongoing pledges worth around £7000 a year to us.
We're delighted to see a charity reaping the benefits of the practical help they have received through the matching service. Well done to both Don and Melanie for their hard work! To end on Don's words:
Melanie, you are a delight to work with and your information has proved invaluable, many thanks.
Match completed in October 2010

Filed under: College Basketball, College Football, Kent Sterling | Tags: Chattanooga violations, Mark Emmert, Tennessee violations
by Kent Sterling
The NCAA D-1 Committee on Infractions released findings of major violations against Chattanooga for impermissible texts and phone calls to recruits. On one hand, who really cares what Chattanooga does? They're not exactly tearing up the college athletic world. On the other, this is the second piece of big news from the NCAA in a week originating from eastern Tennessee.
Knoxville and Chattanooga are separated by 112 of I-75 interstate highway, and if the NCAA investigators work regions, the guy traveling that part of the country is earning his money and then some.
Tennessee is in deep trouble for all kinds of impermissible, but in particular for photographs showing two big time recruits being photographed at Bruce Pearl's home during unofficial visits – a big violation because there is no wiggle room for Pearl to claim ignorance or scatterbrainedness. There is no doubt that every coach knows what is supposed to happen during unofficial visits, and Pearl willfully violated them by inviting kids to his house.
Chattanooga is different as they have been trying to get their compliance department up and running effectively for four years, and they self-reported for too many calls and texts.
I'm not sure whether NCAA investigators roll on to college campuses dressed like the Hoover Boys in the south as racial motivated murders were investigated in the early 1960s – like Gene Hackman and Willem Defoe in "Mississippi Burning", but with Mark Emmert taking the reins of the NCAA as the replacement for Myles Brand, I would be on the lookout for a bulked up and aggressive investigative staff on college campuses.
At worst, the NCAA is going to make a very public example of someone. The best we can hope for is an NCAA that dig deep and at least puts a scare into the renegade schools that ignore rules in an effort to feather their own nest.
The person doing the work on I-75 between Knoxville and Chattanooga is kicking ass and taking names. Corruption in college athletics has been around as long as college athletic themselves, but maybe the tide is turning.
Filed under: College Basketball, Indiana Basketball, Indiana University, Kent Sterling | Tags: Cook Hall, Etherington Indiana
by Kent Sterling
It doesn't take long after meeting Hamilton Heights senior Austin Etherington to figure out this 6'6″ kid from Cicero, Indiana, is honest and smart. It takes about as long watching him play basketball to see that he is very competitive and loves the game.
There is something very likable about this kid from the small town part of Hamilton County. Austin tells the truth, looks a man in the eye when he speaks, and is pretty damn smart.
After I stopped videotaping our talk, I lectured him on using the media to build his brand. So many athletes have no idea what an opportunity there is for them to craft an image in the minds of the public – many of whom are hiring managers. I told him, "Every microphone and camera is a portal to thousands of ears, and to sit in a corner avoiding that opportunity is wasteful and lazy." He looked at me through the entire speech, and in the end I thought, you just wasted five minutes telling that kid something he already knew.
Not that he tried to spin things to make himself look like a saint, genius, or role model. He just answered questions and revealed part of who he is, which is exactly the right way to build an image. It must reflect reality, or the image seems forced and phony. Etherington is not phony. He knows it, and was polite enough to listen to stuff he already knows.
Indiana basketball fans are going to love this kid. He loves challenges, knows and attacks adversity, and believes brotherhood is important in building a team. Tom Crean has been criticized a little bit for offering Etherington as early as he did, which is nonsense. After watching him play several times and talking to him, I think anyone who didn't offer is crazy. He's 6'6″, can jump, defends hard enough to frustrate Rivals #2 ranked player L'Bryan Nash into punching him in the back of the head during a tournament last summer, and can flat shoot it. And more than just being the sum of his parts, he's a basketball player.
There are a lot of kids who play basketball, but not that many basketball players. I'm not sure this makes any sense to anyone but me, but Etherington moves and plays inside the game.
This is a kid who's home burned to the ground a year ago, is proud to be an example to younger teammates and his two younger brothers, and has a burning desire for Hamilton Heights to win their first sectional in nearly a decade.
Here's what Etherington has to say about choosing Indiana:
Here's a video with some highlights from Etherington and his team at the Adidas tournament played at North Central High School in July, 2010:

Indiana teams should absolutely play each other, and the exhibition announced today against Franklin College is a step in the right direction toward making that happen.
Tom Crean and Fred Glass should be commended for working to include schools like Franklin in its exhibition schedule, and join a self-congratulatory Hoosier handshake with Purdue's Morgan Burke, Butler's Barry Collier, and Notre Dame's Jack Swarbrick in creating an Indiana school event like the Crossroads Classic for 2011 and beyond.
Indiana will also play Evansville this year, and Purude will play Indianapolis in an exhibition, Valpo, Indiana State, and IPFW. That's the way the in-state school should do business. Keep the money in state, and give kids from Indiana a chance to play at Assembly Hall and Mackey Arena.

The contract between the University of Tennessee and basketball coach Bruce Pearl is worded in such a way that firing him without paying the remainder of his money through 2014-2015 – even for cause – in light of the recent scandal in Knoxville is damn near impossible, according to a post today by ESPN's Andy Katz
This explains the recent comments by UT's chancellor that Pearl remains a part of the "Tennessee family".
The contract that Tennessee gave Pearl initially and extended through 2015 requires a finding of a "significant violation" by the NCAA is order to remove Pearl. Failing that, The school owes Pearl $1.9 million per year through the end of the deal if they punt him.
All this begs the question, what kind of dumb ass at a university supposedly filled with educated people would extend such an offer to a man who has been suspected of recruiting skullduggery dating back to the late-1980s as an Iowa assistant.
Maybe I'm some kind of cynical idiot, but if a coach I considered for hire required such a restrictive termination clause, I would wonder why. If I were the coach a school offered $1.9 very large per year to leave the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the last thing on my mind would be to ask for strong handcuffs for the authors of that rescue.
Someone pays me that kind of cash, they buy the right to turn me loose anytime they like.
Understanding that collusion is wrong, the athletic departments should each individually make the commitment to never agreeing to include a strict fire for cause clause. The only coaches who have earned anything that generous and binding are certainly not on a list including Pearl, John Calipari, Steve Fisher, Thad Matta, Jim Harrick, and/or Kelvin Sampson.
Why a school would make such an offer to a coach like Pearl, who had success at UWM, but is certainly not a singularly talented coach. He's a good coach in the same way Bob Huggins is a good coach, but there are dozens of those guys. Just say no.
Would Pearl have told the Vols to keep their $1.9 million a year because the athletic director and school hierarchy wanted to maintain some control over the program in case the coach ran it like Mr. Magoo drives a car?
ADs need to stop shaving their vaginas and stand tall against the arrogant crooks they protect from consequence with their self-restricting contracts.

by Kent Sterling
Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl is being accused of more that simply making a few impermissible phone calls to recruits.
According to cbssports.com Garry Parrish, the NCAA is also investigating Pearl because of two recruits paying a visit to his home during an unofficial visit in 2008.
Point guard Aaron Craft and Josh Selby were reportedly photographed during the visit that Pearl at least initially denied to NCAA investigators occurred. Both the photo and the lie make Pearl dumber than he appears on the surface.
Accusing then Illinois assistant Jimmy Collins of offering recruit Deon Thomas an SUV and cash wasn't the sharpest career move of all time when he was an assistant at Iowa competing for Thomas's services. Allowing a photo to be taken at his home during an unofficial visit is even more idiotic.
The chancellor of the University of Tennessee told the media that the school was backing Pearl because he is a member of the family, "I have confidence that [Pearl] will do the right thing in the future. He is one of our family members, and we stand with him and his family at this point in time.
The phrase "at his point in time" should be highlighted and give chills to Pearl and his family. Buzz Peterson was a part of the Tennessee family too, and what the he'll happened to him?
The corruption in college basketball is thick enough that a crook really has to be both arrogant and stupid to draw the attention of the NCAA. A coach who fit both categories was the late great Kelvin Sampson at Indiana. If he had been armed with a sack full of disposable cellies in 2006, Sampson would still be the coach at Indiana University.
At least Sampson was bright enough not to have high-profile recruits photographed at his home (that we know of).
The only thing that posses of the NCAA more than cheats they can't catch is cheats who lie to investigators once they are caught.
So now Pearl back peddles as fast as he can and conveniently cops to the truth to try to avoid Sampson-espue exile.
It should be too little too late for the Tennessee family who've shown that blood down there is really orange kool-aid.

Dan Dakich is an interesting guy, as everyone who listens to 1070 – the Fan in Indianapolis knows, and as everyone who watches ESPN's college basketball coverage will learn this season. He boils issues down to their essence, and explains them in language that is easy to follow.
Both of his siblings are lawyers and his dad is an educator. Dan's mode of communication is a combination of the two professions – he thinks like a lawyer and speaks like a teacher.
Being a college basketball coach is incredibly difficult. They have to attract the best student-athletes they can to their school, and then have to parent and lead them to be the best kids and players possible. Young men are not at their most compliant during their college years, so the battle to win them over is ongoing.
In the video Dan tells the story of one kid who decided one day to listen and do what Dan said. He wound up playing in the NBA.

Avid reader/reviewer and editor. I don't pull punches when I review, love it or hate it, you get what I think.
A killer hiding in plain sight? Kind of, but not exactly. The blurb and even the beginning of the story sets this one up as what could have been a gripping domestic thriller. The glimpses into the past paint a disturbing picture, but the modern day happenings left something to be desired, mostly the suspense that should've been there. There are questions, but it was all way to easy to figure out in spite of the misdirection with certain points of the story. I kept waiting for something to happen in the present day chapters, some unexpected or shocking twist, and maybe that's where this one lost me. It was all just a little too predictable. The story is well-written and I did keep going, looking for that twist, that wow factor. Maybe I've just read too many domestic thrillers lately, but the 'thrill' of this one was lost on me. It felt more like a personal interest story, a where are they now type of thing, than anything else.

What effects does it have?
- Lower body
What is it?
Surgery to permanently remove the penis.
How long does it last?
The effects are permanent and cannot be reversed.
More information
Penectomy is surgical removal of the penis. This does not include removal of the testes (testicles), which are removed by an orchidectomy.
A penectomy completely destroys the penis. After a penectomy has been carried out, vaginoplasty requires using non-standard techniques as there is no penile skin available, increasing risks and reducing the quality of the result.
If you wish to have new genitals created, the vulva (external part of the female genitalia) is created by labiaplasty and clitoroplasty. These operations are often carried out together with vaginoplasty (creation of the internal canal).
Preparing for a surgical procedure
Doing some preparation in advance can help make sure everything goes smoothly during your hospital stay and recovery. To help you avoid forgetting to do or buy something we have created a Getting ready for gender surgeries page.
Costs and funding
A operation in the UK to perform penectomy along with orchidectomy, labiaplasty and clitoroplasty costs around £11-12000.
If you have a formal diagnosis, the NHS will usually provide funding for penectomy and labiaplasty, orchidectomy, clitoroplasty and optionally vaginoplasty. You will normally need to meet the following conditions:
- persistent and well-documented gender dysphoria
- capacity to make fully informed decisions and to consent to treatment
- if significant medical or mental health concerns are present, they must be reasonably well controlled
- two medical opinions, usually at least one from a gender clinic, that surgery is appropriate
- 12 months' continuous endocrine treatment as appropriate to the patient's goals (unless the patient has medical contraindications or is otherwise unable to take hormones)
- at least 12 months' living continuously in a gender role that is congruent with the gender identity 1.

Business Gas and Electricity
Savings Made Easy
UK Citizens Not Happy As Energy Bills Rise
By Leigh Teixeira
Over the past ten years domestic energy bills have more than doubled while the pay cheques have continued to rise for the big bosses of the energy industry.
Recently an investigation was conducted on the top six energy producing companies in the UK. It was found that in the year 2001the average top earner was about �637 000. By the year 2010, it had doubled to �1.35 million.
The top people in these companies were urged by Dot Gibson to follow in the footsteps of RBS�s Stephen Hester and give back the large bonuses they received. Gibson is affiliated to the National Pensioners� Convention.
At Centrica, the parent company of British Gas boasts a director whose salary has increased by more than 140% in the same period.
Scottish Power top paid employee�s salary has increased by 140%.
E.On�s top paid employee saw a 77% salary increase while Scottish and Southern Energy�s salary went up by 74%.
NPower�s top earning employee�s salary has increased by only 61%.
EDF Energy�s top earning employee is the CEO, Mr Vincent de Rivaz. His salary has increased by 217% since the year 2010.
In all of these companies the pay increase for the top earners far over shadow the pay increases of the ordinary workers.
The customers on the other hand have had to put up with ridiculously high energy price increases. According to reports, the average gas bill has increased by 84% since 2001 while the average electricity bill has increased by about 94%.
The CEO of Centrica, Sam Laidlaw, received a �1 million bonus in his last pay cheque. This means that his yearly earnings exceed the �2 million mark. As another bonus, Mr Laidlaw received about �600 000 worth of shares in the company. In the next week, Centrica is set to announce profits which exceed �1 billion.
Energy bills in the UK are now around �1250 per year per household. This is twice the price of what it was in 2002. Households across the UK are said to be facing fuel poverty. This means that they are spending more than 10% of their earnings on power.
Dot Gibson says that many pensioners around the country aren�t able to afford the energy bills this year. On the other hand, the big bosses of the energy industry can afford to live in the lap of luxury. She feels that it�s unethical for them to accept these bonuses while so many people can�t afford to heat their homes this winter.
Greenpeace examined the company accounts to get the executive pay packages. A spokesman Lawrence Carter has said that many households aren�t able to pay the rising energy bills. He says that by the looks of things, the bosses of the top six energy companies will still be pocketing another huge bonus.
Ed Davey, the New Energy Secretary says that Sam Laidlaw cannot pocket another big bonus. If Sam Laidlaw�s last bonus was used to insulate people�s homes it could have helped bring down the electricity bills of thousands of people.
Audrey Gallacher who is the Director of Energy at Consumer Focus says that EDF Energy�s profits in the UK have risen even though much less energy was used during the winter. She says that this knowledge should have many customers questioning whether prices could be cut further.
Politicians will soon be debating the Energy Bill. This could mean the end of the Big Six energy companies. Recently, the energy watchdog, Ofgem has told the energy suppliers to either simplify their tariffs or face harsh penalties.

Today has been a pretty stand up day. In between my duties of being a mother of two and wife to one (since polygomy is illegal), I've been trying to promote my new etsy shop. I'm happy to say that I have 7 sales. That's good considering that I posted less than a month ago. My initial goal was to get one sale for the month. But I forgot that it's alright to sell to your friends which is what I did. I didn't have to do as much convincing as I thought i would. Anyway..back to promoting--
While I was a-promotin' on etsy, I saw that a lot of people were recruiting people to write articles on their blogs about. I got an idea....
Why not make it a point to promote at least one etsy seller a day with one feature article a day. I thought that would be fun and actually give me a chance to get to know the people that I'm selling with. I'm such a huge fan of etsy and what it has and is doing for a lot of people out there. It makes startup costs low and very manageable for small businesses to pick up and go. Promoting is so easy and great. It's so great to hear about etsy shops that started out small and ended up blowing up.
So, stay tuned for my advertisement banner. My goal is to write about 5 articles a week (I need my weekends). If you're a follower and would like to be put on the list for feature articles, let me know and I will be more than happy to put you on the list.
