Salina is the island of love by dreamers and artists, an oasis of greenery and perfumes in the Aeolian archipelago, where Salina is the true Aeolian garden where to be pervaded by the suggestions of a paradisiacal nature.
The island of Salina takes its current name from a typical coastal lake once used as "salina". Its ancient name was instead Didyme (twin mountains), derived from its two mountains: Mount Porri, high 870 m, and Monte Fossa delle Felci, its twin, with its 969 m is the highest of the Aeolian Islands.
Second only to Lipari, between the Aeolian Islands by extension, Salina hosts the three municipalities of Santa Marina, Malfa and Leni, and much of its territory, the natural reserve "The mountains of ferns and leeks".
The heritage of the island is the most rich and varied flora, but the fauna it is no less. The species of birds from the nesting or small bush, the birds of prey, and the large migratory birds are copious too.
The crystal clear waters with its rocky seabed and rich and colorful marine life, small hidden coves and pebbly coves, and still imposing walls overlooking the sea, make this excursion rich of magical moments, discovering shapes, colors and unique to the world.

Pornhub offers free leaf removal to residents of New York county

Pornhub, an international pornography company, is launching a free leaf removal promotion. And, of all places, it has chosen Dutchess County, New York, as the area to debut the service.
The adult video website is teaming with Poughkeepsie-based Dutchess Lawns for a three-day promotion in which Dutchess residents and businesses can receive free leaf removal. The requests will be satisfied Wednesday through Friday this week, on a first-served basis, said Jay Lotaj, CEO of Dutchess Lawns.
Pornhub wanted to launch the promotion in an upstate New York area, given its reputation for fall foliage, and chose Dutchess at random, according to the company. It hopes to follow a similar process in expanding the leaf-blowing service to other areas, but nothing has yet been planned.

Lotaj said Pornhub first reached out to him several months ago. At first, he said, he was hesitant, given the nature of the company.
"Then, when I realized they were providing a free service for people up here, I thought it was a good idea," he said. "Any time we (can) give back, we try to do it."
Any home or business can receive the service by sending a request to a suggestively named email address – blows@pornhub.com. Customers must include their name, address, phone number and proof of address in the request, and they must present a valid ID matching the request when the crew arrives, according to a release from Pornhub.
Dutchess Lawns' crews and vehicles will be outfitted with Pornhub's black-and-orange logos.
Lotaj said he asked his employees if any of them would have a problem wearing the uniforms, and all saw "the bigger picture" that they would be providing a community service.
"I gave them the opportunity, to say, 'Hey, if you don't want to participate, I completely understand,' " Lotaj said. "Luckily enough, they did see the fun in it, and they did see, 'Oh, OK, we can help people out.' "

'Having fun with it'
Lotaj said he thinks customers will see the humor in the situation, rather than be concerned over an association with pornography.
"We're having fun with it and I get that, but we are giving a service to the community," Lotaj said. "I'm hoping that (our customers) will see the bigger picture, that we will be giving something back to the community, people will be getting a service that they're not going to pay for. And I'm sure every little bit helps."
Pornhub has had community service promotions in the past. It has offered an annual $25,000 college scholarship for the last several years, and during a 2017 snowstorm said it would plow roads in Boston and New York City.
"While foliage can be beautiful, it can also be quite cumbersome when it falls and litters your lawn and requires you to remove it. Sure, you can grab a rake or a blower and put a little sweat equity into the painstaking task of removing the debris yourself, but it's much easier to outsource the work to a professional who can do it in half the time," Pornhub Vice President Corey Price said in a statement.

Welcome to my HAHAT post!
I'm happy to be a part of this hop again, to celebrate and raise awareness of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. The hop is over 130 strong this year! We'll be at it through May 24th, which gives you plenty of time to hop around and tell all your friends. Visit as many stops as you can, because everyone is hosting a prize!
My prize is a $10 Credit to Dreamspinner Press!
All you have to do is answer my question at the end to enter. If you want to Like my FB Author Page that'll get you another entry.
Why you'll never see me with my asterisk hanging out.
It's become popular to include an asterisk after the word trans when you mean transgender. I get how it started—the asterisk is a wildcard, because not every trans person uses the same modifier. But not everyone is on board and I want to tell you why.
1. a small starlike symbol (*), used in writing and printing as a reference mark or to indicate omission, doubtful matter, etc.
2. Linguistics . the figure of a star (*) used to mark utterance that would be considered ungrammatical or otherwise unacceptable by native speakers of a language, as in * I enjoy to ski.
3. Historical Linguistics . the figure of a star (*) used to mark a hypothetical or reconstructed form that is not attested in a text or inscription.
4. something in the shape of a star or asterisk.
Asterisks are commonly used to direct a reader's attention to a footnote or other explanatory text. My daughter is not a footnote. She also is not hypothetical, doubtful matter, or otherwise unacceptable, thanks very much.
I understand the thought process that led to this usage but I don't know anyone personally who is trans and who isn't put-off by it. Every time I see it, I have to remind myself not to look at the bottom of the page—because there won't be anything there.
I'm not saying every trans person on the planet has, or should have, the same opinion. I'm only saying that in my experience, the asterisk following the word trans is not something a cis woman such as myself has any business using.
I'm not perfect, but I listen, and I try.
One more thing before I go. A lot of people I know IRL know my daughter is trans; a lot don't. A week doesn't go by without someone saying something transphobic where I can hear it. Many times I can't call them out on it—the person has power over me in such a way that I can't afford to embarrass them and/or tick them off. When I do speak up, or often even when I just don't go along and laugh at the "joke" the people involved look at me differently. And not in a good way. I'm glad this hop exists; we need more events like this, online and in meatspace, and for the events to be inclusive. I'd love to see an event called the Stop Bigotry Hop, or the Accept Everyone Hop—or something that's a little catchier. 🙂 I'm sure it's possible to figure out a cool title that includes Aces and Bisexuals and Genderqueer folks—the whole Rainbow Brigade. Someday, someday soon, I hope we get together celebrate how far we've come.
To enter my contest for a $10 gift card to Dreamspinner Press/Harmony Ink Press, all you have to do is tell me what your preferred pronoun is. You can state your orientation as well, but it's not mandatory for an entry.
My winner will be chosen by Random.org, and I'll contact them within 24 hours of the end of the hop. If I don't hear back within 48 hours I'll choose another winner.
Okay, I think that's all.
I'm the cisgender bisexual mother of a trans lesbian, and my pronoun is she/her.
Oh, and don't forget to head back to the main site for the full list of particpants!
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged blog hop!, Giveaway, LGBTQ Equality, trans issues by Charley Descoteaux. Bookmark the permalink.
she/her is my pronoun and I'm heteroflexible.
I go with she/her as well.
For myself, I go with she and her. But I always think of the story I read where an ESL student was asked his favorite word in English, and he said "It's 'you,' because I know it's always right no matter who I'm addressing!" He had come from a language with gendered pronouns and formal pronouns, but 'you' was always 'you' in English. So, 'you' is definitely a cool word.
She/her as is my favorite too. Liked your fb page too.
Thanks for being a part of the hop!
She/her. I am a straight female.
Thanks for sharing this with us! My pronoun is she/her and I'm a straight female.
My philosophy is to respect what people want to be called unless it's something profoundly misleading or with the intent to deceive. I had seen the trans* but didn't understand why it was being used. Thank you for the explanation.
This was a really intetesting post. My pronoun is she/he.
she/her is my pronoun I'm a Straight Female.
I use she and I am heterosexual. Thank you for participating and sharing your story.
Thanks for taking part in the hop! My preferred pronoun is she.
She/her and I am a straight female.
Thanks for visiting, everyone! Random.org has chosen the winner and as soon as I hear back from them I'll post an announcement.
Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend!

The Saint for a Troubled Church
by Colin May January 08, 2018
With so many issues troubling the Church and world at large, it can often be a difficult to get a grasp on these problems and identify practical solutions. But there is a Saint who faced similar challenges in his own time who can help us realize the grace and peace that God has given us.
Saint Bonaventure joined the Franciscan order and was an academic by training, but he was also a great preacher and confessor. Recognized as a man of wisdom and talent, at the age of 36, he was elevated to the post of Minister General of the Order, a position he held for nearly 17 years, before being named Cardinal. One of the Doctors of the Church, Bonaventure is an remarkable spiritual master and theologian, but also a fantastic administrator and leader, who can help us chart a path that both clings to the Gospel ideals of Jesus, but also recognizes the importance of moving in the direction of the current times of the world. He is a great exemplar for us today.
As a spiritual writer, Bonaventure is second to none; in fact, he is often held to esteem with his friend and classmate, Saint Thomas Aquinas. They took courses together in Paris, but then also worked together through the years on a number of important projects for the pope. It is through these writings that we can take comfort in his guidance and help face the challenges of today.
Bonaventure is an important figure in the history of the Church, but not just the Church-past. He had a profound impact on Joseph Ratzinger as a young priest, who ended up writing a book about him. After he became Pope Benedict XVI, the pope gave a three-week catechism on the Saint, saying, "[Bonaventure] stands out, a man of action and contemplation, of profound piety and prudent government."[1]
First, Bonaventure gives us four spiritual exercises to be able to see ourselves and God's plan. Much like the Cross, we must direct the "rays of enlightenment" into four areas: height, length, breath, and depth. They are:
Reflecting on our interior self (who we are and where we came from)
Reflecting on the exterior self (raising our mind to God, praying, and contemplation)
Reflecting on the inferior things (preparing ourselves, death, suffering, hell, our final judgement)
Reflecting on the superior things (the promise of heaven and how to get there)[2]
Much like the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the ability to meditate on these four things is a very useful tool in understanding the "big picture" and God's greater plan. By allowing ourselves to be guided by God—and not ourselves—we come closer to being the vessel for His works. As an aside, in his Autograph (autobiography), Saint Ignatius of Loyola mentions the importance of reading and studying the works of the Church masters, including Saints Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas.
Second, in his writings, Bonaventure constantly implores us the follow the path of Jesus, and like Saint Francis imitated Jesus, live in a poverty and humility that allow for Christ's presence. By rejecting pride, glory, honor, awards, and the like, Bonaventure shows how we can be made big in God by being small. "Just as the beginning of all sin is pride, so the foundation of all virtues is humility."[3] Bonaventure's writings also stress the critical importance of remembering the Passion of Jesus Christ and the pain and unbearable humiliation that He suffered for our sake. Having humility will enable the charity and selflessness necessary to be strong leaders.
Finally, in seeking to help us move our hearts closer to God, Bonaventure gives us a framework to help hear God's will. He says that we need primarily to stop—stop talking, stop over-thinking, stop being caught up in the details—and listen to God. "To speak seldom, and then but briefly, prevents sin."[4] Just as we must practice humility, silence too is a critical component for Bonaventure. By being quiet, we have time, which gives us the space to reflect and discern God's will. This allows for the conversion of the heart[5] and offers a new perspective to deepen our relationship with Jesus.
Like today, Bonaventure dealt with a number of challenges. During his time as a professor at the University of Paris, he and Saint Thomas endured an angry sect of colleagues, which even turned violent. Once he became Minister General, he faced both internal and external strife. As Pope Benedict XVI said, "[Bonaventure knew of] the practical need for structures and . . . [that] required a [strong] theological foundation."[6] We must all have a strong faith foundation to deal effectively with the challenges our world faces, much like Bonaventure did.
Through prayer, setting a diligent example, and making others aware of standards (and holding them accountable), Bonaventure was able to be very successful in his administrative stewardship of the Order. As the Ministers General of the Franciscan Order wrote on his Feast Day on July 14, 2017, "he asks us to take on an attitude of dialogue that is real and engaged, [which has a] positive outlook and great respect for human capabilities . . . "[7]
As we move through this life as faithful Christians, we can draw upon the strength of Saint Bonaventure to help us navigate through uncertain and difficult times. By understanding the love Saint Bonaventure had for God and Jesus, and living the example of Saint Francis, we may be better able to fulfill our baptismal duty to be Christ for others. As Pope Benedict XVI put it, " . . . he did not convince his contemporaries with his words but rather with his life."[8]
May we also do the same. Saint Bonaventure, Pray for Us.

"This is one of the cleanest buildings you'll ever see. One of the things I really like is our indoor garden. In the winter when everything outside is gray we have this lovely green garden. The people really do care. It's a really great place to live."

Indie singer-songwriter Tom Walker is being recognized for his experimentation.
While his fame has steadily increased in his hometown of Manchester, England, Walker has began to generate a fanbase in the U.S. and is currently doing his European tour.
"We're pretty much booked up until the end of the year touring now," he said in an email.
Walker will visit Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco in August. Although Colorado Springs isn't on the list, Walker would like to make plans to come here in the future.
Influenced by his dad, old roommates and a loyal fan base, Walker discussed his hometown and influential musicians in his new album with The Scribe.
Q: What made you want to pursue music?
A: My dad was always a massive music fan, so he would always play my amazing records from a really young age. He took me to see AC/DC in Paris when I was around nine, and seeing Angus Young going mental on stage just made me want to get a Gibson SG and do the same.
Q: I've heard you talk about your dad in regards to the music you play in a couple of interviews. Has your father influenced this new album of yours?
A: Yes 100 percent! He would always be listening to some next level music when I was growing up and was always well ahead of anyone else I knew.
When I was deciding what songs to put on my album, I sat down with him at my childhood home and listened to every song I've ever written and whittled it down to a select few. It only seemed right after listening to so much music with him there that we made the decision there.
Q: What kind of music have you been influenced by this past year?
A: I've been (spoiled) by so much amazing music over the past year, but most mornings I put on Tom Misch to get me ready for the day, because it's just super chilled.
Q: It looks like you shared a house with twelve other musicians who also liked to write and record. What was this experience like for you?
A: That was such a great environment for me to be in at the time. We had built our own studio in one of the downstairs rooms, and there was just music going on everywhere. You'd walk past a room at any point in the day and just hear some amazing music being created.
Q: Your latest single "Leave a light on" has attracted many electronic artists to remix the song. What were your initial thoughts on all these artists connecting to your song?
A: I couldn't believe it. There's actually been some of my favorite artists remix my track; it's pretty mental. It's so exciting listening to a remix for the first time and hearing another artist's take on what you've done.
Q: What kind of departure can listeners of "Blessing EP" expect from your new album?
A: I think it's going to be a little more polished as we've spent a lot more time on it. Jim Abbiss again has done a lot of the production for the album, but I've also been working with Steve Mac and Mike Spencer. They've really added a new element to my music that I'm really excited about.
Correction May 1, 2018: The Scribe incorrectly referred to a collaboration between Tom Walker and rapper Offset in the April 24 issue of The Scribe. Walker collaborated with DJ Offset, not the rapper from the hip-hop group Migos.

Aveley arrival presents a fresh chance for returning Wroxham hitman Beaumont
Wroxham boss Stewart Larter. Picture: MATTHEW USHER
Frontman Danny Beaumont has an opportunity to reignite his Wroxham career – at the second time of asking.
The summer signing failed to score in two Ryman League North outings before rejoining Wisbech Town. However, a dramatic U-turn saw the striker head back to Trafford Park this week and he looks set to be handed an opportunity to make up for lost time when Aveley arrive in Norfolk.
'He's someone who has played at this level and scored goals at this level,' said Larter.
'He gives us a different option, especially down the middle. He's got a proven record at a higher-level with Dereham and King's Lynn so we're pleased to have him back.
'We hope we can get the best out of him and he will stay with us for a good period of time.'
The Yachtsmen chief was relieved to add another body to his squad that has been hampered with injuries and unavailability in the early stages of the term.
A depleted Wroxham's last game came at King's Lynn Town in the FA Cup on Saturday. They were thumped 4-1.


Do come and join us on Saturday, 18 June from 12.30 to 4.30pm for our hugely popular Summer Fair.
We will be hosting an afternoon of children's activities including face painting and a variety of games and races. Award-winning magician Richard Pinner will be on hand to entertain.
There will be live musical performances throughout the day by Pastiche and a delicious BBQ with sausages from the Parson's Nose.
Adults can enjoy wine tastings led by independent wine merchant Lea & Sandeman, cream tea as well as a Pimm's tent. Other attractions include stalls selling bric-à-brac, books, toys and cakes. The Fair would not be complete without the chance to win some lovely prizes from the Silent Auction, Raffle and Bottle Tombola.
The proceeds of this year's fair benefit Arts4Dementia, St Cuthbert's Day Centre, Toilet Twinning and Sound Seekers.


Health care has become even more important because of the great strides that are being made in technology that has such a direct impact on people themselves. There are many diseases and conditions that in the past people had to merely learn how to adjust to, but now with the help of new age medicines, technology growing leaps and bounds, this is no longer necessary. It may mean that there are new solutions being brought forward to help individuals cope with their conditions and give them a better chance at leading a quality life.
It is important that everyone supports technology in whatever way they can, whether it is through offering creative ideas or supporting new inventions or simply donating to important causes. What must be realized is that healthcare in general has an impact on everyone, even on those who consider themselves to be healthy at the moment. Healthcare involves preventative medicine as well as care for those that are suffering from a certain type of health condition.
The concern for overall health has grown to such a degree that it can no longer be assumed that it is only the responsibility of the health care providers to seek out solutions. It is now equally important for the general public to be educated and involved with their healthcare needs.
It is important that a relationship of trust is built between the public and the health care industry at all levels. The public must become more proactive in taking care of themselves and work closely with their health care providers to seek out solutions for their health needs, as well as learn what their options and alternatives may be. Whatever is taking place in the health care technology sector will have some type of effect on the population it serves, and this puts a great deal of responsibility on those who are providing this technology.

What! Your dog does not want to walk on a leash?
As much as we want to think puppies are born to understand what a collar and leash is…the truth is they won't get it. Most of the time, your new puppy has never even seen a leash or a collar. Dog training 101: you need a marker word that indicates to your puppy they have done something right. My marker words is YES! It is quick, easy and it rolls right off the tongue. You can choose any word like such as "nice" or "wow," it's up to you, just make sure you use it every time they succeed! Once you have your marker word you will then always want to follow it up with what the puppy has done right. If ask my puppy to sit (and he did) I would say "yes" "good sit".
Start SLOW! The first step is ensuring they get used to their collar first. This should be done by putting it on for short periods at a time. I start by saying "collar" and then rewarding with a "yes" good collar and treat as the collar is put on. This makes the collar fun and you reaching for his neck to grab or put a collar on fun.
Getting used to the leash can be tough so start off in a place with very few distractions. I like to start by putting the leash on inside where distractions are fewer and your puppy is familiar with the environment. Start by just putting the leash on your puppy and let him drag it around. Ensure the environment is clear of anything the puppy could get caught up in with his leash. When your puppy drags it around without having any issues reward by saying "yes" good leash and treat. Let your puppy drag the leash around a few days in small increments and ensure you are marking the behavior.
After your puppy can handle that, pick up the end of the leash and apply a bit of pressure against his collar. If he responds well, reward the behavior. Do this several times a day and then let him wander around outside wherever he wants to go. You, of course, are watching him to ensure he is in a safe area. Do this often and your pup should have no issues with the leash.


SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Police say somebody in a black wig and a baseball cap went into a Sioux Falls casino, displayed a knife, took money and left.
Sioux Falls police said in a news release that authorities responded Thursday to a robbery at Connexions II Casino. According to police, a female went inside, displayed a knife and demanded money. The release says she took an undetermined amount of money and left.
According to police, she was wearing a black wig, a black and white baseball cap, sunglasses, a long-sleeve denim shirt and black nylon pants.
Police say no one was hurt, and that the investigation is ongoing.

A New Chapter in Whale Conservation?
Posted bysscssite2017 April 4, 2014 Posted inCommentary
Commentary by Captain Alex Cornelissen, Sea Shepherd Global Executive Director
Captain Locky MacLean, Captain Paul Watson, and Captain Alex Cornelissen

After Monday's historic outcome at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, we are slowly starting to realize the consequences of the court's decision.
The court has ruled that the so-called scientific research whaling program of Japan is in reality nothing of the sort and that it has to be stopped immediately with no new permits to be given. Japan has stated that they will abide by the court's decision. Of course, Sea Shepherd is very pleased with the ruling by the International Court.
This could very well mean that Sea Shepherd Australia won't have to sail to the Southern Ocean at the end of this year, for our eleventh Antarctic campaign to stop the poaching of whales. Of course we will continue preparing our vessels to be ready at the end of this year, but it is certainly looking more positive than ever before.
We currently have three ships in Australian ports, soon ready to be deployed again. The first thought that came to my mind was to mount a campaign against Icelandic whaling, but there is another interesting outcome of yesterday's case.
Because the ICJ has decided that the Japanese whaling program in the Southern Ocean (JARPA II) is not scientific in nature and therefore no new permits can be given in the name of research, what will happen with the Northern Hemisphere whaling program of Japan (JARPN II)? Isn't this now, per definition, also illegal? The ICJ set a precedent with the ruling against JARPA II, and therefore any activity that has just as little scientific purpose should no longer be conducted under such pretenses. This decision in fact makes the JARPN II program commercial, and should Japan decide to continue the Northern hunt, wouldn't they be in violation of the IWC regulations? We feel that the IWC now has an obligation to put a stop to the JARPN II program, and if they fail to do so, even trade sanctions could be possible against Japan.
This is certainly a vindication for Sea Shepherd and for Captain Paul Watson. When Captain Watson first decided to voyage to the Southern Ocean in 2002, nobody paid much attention to the illegality of the Japanese whaling program. There were some reports in the media but very little was done to counter Japan's blatant commercial hunt.
Not until Sea Shepherd entered the scene did the matter become a global topic for discussion. Japan accused Sea Shepherd every year of acts of sabotage against their "perfectly legal and approved whaling program," and we were even banned from the IWC meetings altogether. Twelve years later, we have been proven right on every count and Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean has been stopped.
Captain Watson was listed on the Interpol Red List under false claims by Japan for interfering with their illegal whale poaching operations.
An injunction was handed down to prevent our US colleagues from participating in the Antarctica campaigns.
We were accused of being pirates, radicals and extremists — of taking the law into our own hands.
But after the landmark verdict at the ICJ, the landscape has now changed and all the efforts and sacrifices made were absolutely worth it.
I want to thank all the people who have stood by us during the last 12 years; thank you to all of our donors, staff, land crew and ship crew. None of this would have been possible without your support. And, of course, none of it would have been possible if Captain Watson wouldn't have decided to start this David versus Goliath fight 12 years ago.
Comments from Sea Shepherds in the wake of the ICJ's ruling:
"Over the last decade, Australians have gotten to know Captain Paul Watson personally and as the man leading the charge in defense of the whales being illegally slaughtered in the Australian Antarctic whale sanctuary. Many Australians opened up their hearts and even homes to Captain Watson and Sea Shepherd, doing the job that their government refused to have the guts to do. This ICJ ruling is very welcome news, but Sea Shepherd could not wait for it to play out, or the lives of more than 5,000 whales would have been lost. Australia was once a nation that hunted whales, and it is now one of the most passionate defenders of the whales; it is hoped that Japan can be the same one day. Let's hope that this ICJ ruling guides Japan in the direction of whale ecotourism, one that the greater whale-loving people of the world would applaud. However, if they return to the scene of their crimes against the whales, Sea Shepherd will be ready to meet them head on once more." – Sea Shepherd Australia Director, Jeff Hansen.
"When Captain Paul Watson went down to the Southern Ocean on the Farley Mowat more than 10 years ago, no one in the world cared about the illegal whaling operations of the Japanese Whaling Fleet. It must be remembered that in those 10 years, had it not been for the interventions of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, more than 10,000 whales would have been killed. Instead, thanks to the direct action taken by Sea Shepherd, the whalers have taken a fraction of that number — about 3,500. However, this is not the end. This is the start of a new era in marine conservation where the imagination of one man and one organization can inspire the highest court in the land to stand up and deliver a judgment that will have far reaching implications for the poaching fleets across the world." – Captain Siddharth Chakravarty.
"When Sea Shepherd began our Antarctic campaigns ten years ago, it was to stand between the whales and the harpoons of what we knew to be Japan's commercial whaling fleet. Sea Shepherd Australia took up the fight for the last two years, never failing to keep the promise to the whales made by Captain Watson a decade ago. Now, the International Court of Justice has lifted the veil of 'research' and ordered Japan to end its illegal whaling operation in Antarctica. We hope that Japan will abide by the ruling and leave the whales to migrate through their icy sanctuary in peace. While this is a victory for the whales, Sea Shepherd's global movement has many clients and we know our work is not done. We will continue to stand between the animals of the ocean and extinction." – Sea Shepherd USA Administrative Director, Susan Hartland.

The Outlaws May Return to the Southern Ocean Despite the ICJ Verdict

The Taliban have called for a ban on all polio vaccines for children in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan until all U.S. drone strikes have ceased, according to a statement released Saturday.
According to the statement, Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur made the decision to ban polio vaccinations for children after consulting with other Taliban leaders.
Bahadur is believed by many to have connections with the Haqqani network in the North Waziristan region, providing support and shelter for the militant group. The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to launch an assault on the Haqqani network but the Pakistani military has resisted, claiming their forces are stretched too thin.
The use of drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles used for both reconnaissance and assault missions, was acknowledged by President Obama's chief counterterrorism adviser John Brennan in April.
"Yes, in full accordance with the law – and in order to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States and to save American live – the United States government conducts targeted strikes against specific al Qaeda terrorists, sometimes using remotely piloted aircraft, often referred to publicly as drones," Brennan said.
Pakistan is one of only three nations globally that has not yet eradicated polio. Pakistan reported almost 200 new cases of polio just last year, the highest amount at that time in the world. According to UNICEF, 143,000 of the area's 161,000 children had access to vaccinations earlier this year, between June 4 and 6, but the Taliban's ban on the vaccinations will prove a severe hindrance to the eradication effort in the near-future.
Pakistan's efforts to eradicate polio have come under fire recently as it was revealed last year that with the help of a Pakistani, Dr. Shakil Afridi, the CIA conducted a door-to-door vaccination campaign in an effort to verify the location of Osama bin Laden within the Pakistani town of Abbottabad. Dr. Afridi was convicted by a tribal court for his role in the operation and was sentenced to 33 years in jail.
The North Waziristan Surgeon General, Dr. Muhammad Sadiq, said that he is only carrying out his duty by following the Taliban's orders to halt the vaccination campaign.
"Under these circumstances, we cannot continue," Dr. Sadiq said during a phone interview.

This report presents the main results of coordinated attitude surveys conducted during late December 2000 by the JMCC and the Steinmetz Center. Both surveys are based on interviews conducted with randomly selected people who represent the adult (over age 18) Palestinian (N= 1199) and Israeli (N=1004) populations. The Palestinian interviews were conducted face-to-face while the Israeli respondents were interviewed by telephone.
Overall, the results reveal large differences between the two publics with regard to their perceptions of who was responsible for the Palestinian uprising and its impact on the peace process. The two publics also differ sharply with respect to the nature of attitude change that has taken place in conjunction with the uprising.
Seventy-six percent of the Palestinians believe that Israel is responsible for the recent deterioration in the relations between the two nations, whereas in the Israeli-Jewish public, 61 percent put the blame on the Palestinians. Israeli Arabs are more similar to the Palestinians, although they have a more balanced view: 50 percent thinks that both sides are equally responsible and 40 percent believe that Israel is responsible.
A large majority of the Palestinians (69 percent) believe that the Intifada has increased the readiness of Israel to come closer to the Palestinians' demands, against 16 percent who think that the readiness has decreased. Among the Israelis the evaluations are in the opposite direction: 53 percent believe that the readiness of Israel has decreased, compared with 26 percent who think that it has increased. A similar contrast appears with regard to the beliefs about the impact of the Intifada on the chance for a peace agreement: 53 percent of the Palestinians think that the chance has increased compared with 31 percent who believe that it has decreased. Among the Israelis, 55 percent think that the chance decreased against 19 percent who believe that it decreased.
A huge gap between the two publics also appears in regard to the question of what is the most efficient way to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. For the large majority of Israelis (74 percent) the best way is through negotiations, with only 13 percent choosing confrontation, 5 percent preferring combination of both ways, and 4 percent who believe that it is impossible to reach an agreement. Among the Palestinians, only 22 percent believe in negotiations, while the rest are divided between those who prefer confrontations (25 percent) or combination of both (14 percent), and those who do not believe in the possibility of a peace agreement. This is perhaps one of the most significant differences between the two publics.
Within the Palestinian public, the degree of optimism about reaching a peaceful Arab-Israeli settlement has sharply decreased from 60 percent in December 1999 to 33 percent in December 2000, while the rate of pessimists went up from 37 percent to 62 percent. The optimism of the Israeli public has also declined, but more moderately: 54 percent were optimists In December 1999 and 48 percent in December 2000. The rates of pessimism went up from 40 percent to 48 percent. Among the Palestinians there has been during that time a small but significant decrease in the degree of support of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations: In December 1999, 56 percent supported this process and 38 percent opposed it. To day, 46 percent support the negotiations and 52 percent are against them. Among the Israelis, on the other hand, the degree of support went up from 54 percent in December 1999 to 64 percent in June 2000, and has remained at exactly the same level in December 2000.
On the issue of an independent Palestinian state, there has been a large decrease in the percentage of Palestinians who believe that the Oslo process will eventually result in the establishment of such a state: In December 1999, 52 percent believed in this possibility and 44 percent didn't. In December 2000, the comparable figures were 29 percent and 68 percent, respectively. Among the Israelis, the percent of those who believe in this result also went down, but much more moderately. Moreover, in both periods, this percentage was much higher than among the Palestinians: 78 percent in December 1999 and 69 percent to day.
Finally, there have been considerable changes in the mutual perception of each side. While 20.5 percent of the Israelis perceived the Palestinians as violent in December 1999, this view went up to 46 percent to day. An even larger change in the same direction took place among the Palestinians: While 58 percent of them used to perceive Israelis as violent in December 1999, 87.5 percent of the Palestinians perceived them in the same ways in December 2000.


What is DDoS – DDoS is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that occurs when multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually one or more web servers.
Such an attack is often the result of multiple compromised systems (for example, a botnet) flooding the targeted system with traffic.
Average duration of a reflection attack was 20 minutes in Q2 (19 minutes in Q1). Part of the takeaway from this is that merely following best practices can mitigate the risks of being compromised by a DDoS attack.
One company that do analysis on web traffic is CloudFlare, on their blog they write about what they have seen, last winter CloudFlare tracked and analyzed a DDoS attack, that you can read about in this article Winter of Whopping Weekend DDoS Attacks where CloudFlare were seeing 400 Gbps attacks occurring mostly at the weekends. CloudFlare analysis was that the attackers were busy with something else during the week.
Have you experienced a DDoS attack, if so how did you handle it – just wait it out or did you call a DDoS mitigation company like CloudFlare?

The Financial Times has published an article which asserts that people living in European countries should "prepare for demographic replenishment by Arabs and Asians."
(Article by Paul Joseph Watson republished from Summit.news)
Parag Khanna, the writer of the article also authored a book called 'Move: How Mass Migration Will Reshape the World — and What It Means For You'.
Unsurprisingly, he also has close ties with the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations and was a 'Global Governance Fellow' at the Brookings Institution.
Khanna ludicrously claims that large swathes of the planet will become "uninhabitable" due to climate change, causing "millions, if not billions of people…to relocate to terrain in the latitudes best suited to survival."
He then asserts that "labour shortages" in North America and Europe will necessitate these regions "to open the immigration taps accordingly."
"North America and Eurasia must absorb more people," demands Khanna, seemingly unsatisfied with the massive numbers of migrants they are already taking in.
"Today's fiscally strained and depopulating Visegrad countries could fuse into a larger federation to better administer their vital forests, agriculture and rivers in order to prepare for demographic replenishment by Arabs and Asians," he writes.
New synonym for population replacement just dropped pic.twitter.com/Gh57lisM9j
— Gustavian 🪓 (@TheGustavianist) October 7, 2021
The Visegrad countries are Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
The idea of Americans and Europeans being "replenished" or "replaced" by migrant populations is an area of discussion that is treated very differently depending on which side you fall on.
For those who advocate mass migration, the idea of white Europeans being replaced demographically is either inevitable and/or something to be celebrated and encouraged.
However, anyone who suggests that importing millions of people from different cultures will change the host country in a negative way is branded a "racist" by the media at best, with some even being monstered as terrorist sympathizers.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has repeatedly raised the issue on his popular show, prompting the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to call for him to be fired.
"A reminder: 'The Great Replacement' theory and its racist and xenophobic roots have served as the inspiration for multiple mass shootings and deadly attacks," the official Twitter account for ADL screeched.
Meanwhile, those who continue to assert that white people being "replaced" or "replenished" with migrants from Africa and the Middle East is natural and good will continue to enjoy high profile media platforms and remain in the good graces of the establishment.
This includes CNN's Anderson Cooper, who said during an interview with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in 2019 that he found the demographic decline of white people "exciting".
As we previously highlighted, the demographic decline of white people was recently celebrated on an Irish television show, with one guest apparently finding it very funny.

Islam emerged out of the Arabian Peninsula (modern-day Saudi Arabia) in the seventh century. Prior to this, Arabian tribal peoples had practiced a wide variety of pagan beliefs, living in a time Muslims called jahiliyya or ignorance.
The Ka'aba in Mecca was one of the early sites of religious pilgrimage for Arabian tribes and the merchants of Mecca had long made lucrative livings off the trade generated by the pilgrims. The Ka'aba became the holiest site in the Muslim world and the center for the annual pilgrimage or hajj to Mecca.
Although Muslims accept the validity of all of the Old and New Testament prophets, including Jesus, they believe the prophet Muhammad is the last and the greatest of the prophets. As strict monotheists Muslims do not accept the resurrection of Jesus because that would have made him divine and for Muslims God or Allah is indivisible. However Islam, as the third major monotheistic religion, forms part of the Judaic-Christian-Islamic tradition.
The Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, contains the words of Allah as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. The Qur'an places great emphasis on knowledge and the first word in the Qur'an is Iqra or "read." The Hadith and Sunna, traditions and sayings of the Prophet, also provide guidance for proper behavior and practice.
Muslims follow the Five Pillars of belief and practice and are called to prayer five times a day by the muezzin from the minaret, a tall tower, attached to a mosque. The mosque serves not only as a place of worship but often as a center for social gatherings and as a school.
On Friday, the Muslim holy day, the imam delivers a sermon to the faithful. Unlike Christianity, orthodox Sunni Islam does not have an established clergy. Any devout believer can serve as an imam. However, the mullahs form an established, hierarchical clerical caste in Shi'a Islam. The community of believers is known as the umma; religious scholars or ulema continually provide interpretations and reinterpretations of religious texts and practice.
As with Judaism and Christianity, Islam began as a patriarchal society. However Islamic law improved the lot of women, who were granted extensive legal and property rights. Polygamy was permitted as with most of the world at the time. A Muslim male could have four wives at one time but he must treat each equally in terms of lifestyle and the time spent with her. Thus only the wealthy could usually afford more than one wife.
As the number of Muslim converts grew under Muhammad's charismatic leadership, the established wealthy merchants in Mecca began to persecute the new believers. Led by Muhammad the Muslims migrated (or made a Hijra) from Mecca for Medina in 622. In Medina the Muslims had extensive interactions with three Jewish tribes; although the prophet Muhammad had fairly cordial relations with some of these tribes he failed to convert them.
Some of these tribes also openly sided with the rival Meccans and even joined forces with them in military battles. Consequently the Jewish tribes were either expelled from Medina or killed. Muhammad created a new religious and political society heavily influenced by tribal practices in Medina.
In 624 the Meccans were defeated at the Battle of Badr but they retaliated by winning the Battle of Uhud in 625. In a third confrontation, Muhammad's strategy of building a large ditch to stop the Meccan cavalry helped the Muslims to defeat the Meccans at the Battle of the Trench in 627.

Muhammad then negotiated a treaty between two cities, but after the Meccans violated the settlement, Muhammad led over 1,000 Muslim forces against the city. He took Mecca without bloodshed or forced conversions in 630. Muhammad returned to Mecca as the unquestioned leader of a growing and dynamic new community.
Within two years Muslim campaigns had incorporated much of the Arabian Peninsula and had taken several Byzantine centers near the Gulf of Aqaba, north of Medina. Recognizing the growing power of the Muslims, other Arabian tribes soon sent envoys to negotiate alliances or conversions with Muhammad at Mecca. Muslims also moved into Yemen and along the Persian Gulf in the east.
In 632 Muhammad died and since he had left no chosen successor the community gathered to select by consensus a new leader or caliph to represent the Muslims. Under the next four "righteous" caliphs, the Muslims embarked on one of the most dynamic expansions in human history. Within 100 years the Islamic/Arab empire expanded from the banks of the Indus River in the east to northern Africa and Spain in the west.
Much of the spread of Islam in Asia and Africa occurred not through warfare but trade. The Muslim annual pilgrimage to Mecca was another extremely effective way for the vast community of believers to establish trade and business relationships with one another and to exchange ideas and new technologies.
Although religious tolerance was practically unknown at the time, Islam enjoined its believers to treat people of the book (Jews, Christians, and usually Zoroastrians) kindly and not to force conversions unless they took up arms against the Muslims. As an open, universal religion that stresses the equality of all believers, Islam continues to hold great appeal and in the 21st century remains one of the world's fastest growing religions.

FINALLY: CDC's FABM numbers change
They finally did it! After years of citing misleading and inaccurate effectiveness ratings for natural family planning methods, the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has updated their website, Natural Womanhood announced yesterday.
But is it the change we were hoping for?
Formerly, the CDC cited a methodologically-flawed study which unfairly grouped FABMs with other "natural" methods, including lack of any method at all and the only-occasionally-reliable Rhythm Method. This led the organization to claim a "natural methods" failure rate of 24 percent. As their website is used as a primary resource by a wide swath of authorities from educators to medical professionals, it "officially" perpetuated the myth that natural methods were ineffective.
Happily, the CDC now reports that "fertility awareness-based methods…failure rates vary across the methods." They provide a figure of 2 percent to 23 percent.
CCL Board of Directors Vice President and FACTS Advisory Council chairman Mike Manhart, PhD, says that while no one cannot be completely sure, he believes the changes "are due to a, effectiveness review study published last August in The Green Journal by Urrutia et al." (The Green Journal is the publication of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynocologists.)
"Bottom line: the CDC is recognizing — finally — that not all FABMs are created equal," says Dr. Manhart. "I suspect a big influence on this was the fact that many of the co-authors of the Urrutia review are staunchly pro-contraceptive and have a long-established working relationship with the persons that influence CDC on matters of family planning. It is a credit to the NFP-only researchers involved that they worked collaboratively and objectively to help others recognize (at least some) FABMS have a level of medical evidence that demonstrates they have a real role to play in family planning options."
If this is true, we owe a lot to the calm persistence of NFP-only professionals in the face of sometimes infuriating ignorance of the science of fertility. At the same time, public acceptance of natural methods is growing, as evidenced by a wide-reaching petition drive to demand better reporting from the CDC spearheaded last year by Natural Womanhood.
The group admits that their petition was never officially delivered to the CDC as it was sitting 6,000 signatures short of their 20,000-signature goal. But that doesn't mean it was useless. While it may or may not have gained the attention of the powers that be at the governmental organization, it was instrumental in raising grassroots awareness among laypeople.
Scientific research needed to be the primary mover in pushing this change — after all, effectiveness statistics are about science, not public opinion — but the force of thousands of NFP-friendly voices can likely be credited with helping to sustain the NFP-only researchers through difficult stretches and ensuring that the topic never fell into the background.
CCL wants to thank NFP researchers, Natural Womanhood, every single signatory of the petition and especially those who took the extra step and promoted it on their own channels. Through the grace of God, persistence and love, the Truth can be brought to mainstream healthcare!

Welcome to surrounTec
A word about me and my vision
Berthold Burkhardtsmaier
"The one who set forth to become a conductor" would be the perfect title for a story about my life. Music has always been my passion. Since I have always felt at home in the world of perfect sound. Other children wanted to become a train driver, cowboy or astronaut. Pianist, violinist and conductor were on the top of my list. In addition to my classical education that won me an award at the "Young Musicians" contest, I was increasingly drawn to the magic of rock 'n' roll. I performed as a DJ in club houses and gyms – back in the early days already with my own loudspeaker creations. And before I knew it, these jobs meant to earn some pocket money gradually became my true vocation. I studied Electrical Engineering with a focus on acoustics at Munich university. The mobile discotheque from the Swabian hinterland evolved into a professional music entertainer for the prestigious caterer "Feinkost Käfer". My loudspeaker models began to be used by legendary Munich discotheques such as Sugar Shack and M1.
Now – after positions as an engineer with JBL/Harman Kardon, Shure Bros. and Dialog4, after the foundation of my life's work surrounTec™, after the obsessive search for the perfect tone – I am proud to say: My childhood dream has become true. I have become a conductor. My orchestra is made up of ceramics, diamond, copper, titanium, silver and wood. It is my mission to make the universal brilliancy of great composers audible and sensible. With loudspeakers that are not merely resonating bodies, but also resonating souls. For their vibrations convey truth. Just believe me: nothing sounds more beautiful.

London-based model Poppy Delevingne takes time out from working for the British Fashion Council to model the Louis Vuitton summer 2012 collection.
Poppy Delevingne, model, socialite and general darling of the fashion world, has made a big step into the heart of one of the industry's biggest names, Marc Jacobs.
In photos released this week, the British blonde has been revealed as the designer's muse for the upcoming Louis Vuitton summer 2012, featuring in a string of super-glossy sun-drenched photos wearing summer pieces and bright-coloured swimwear, shot by photographer David Roemer.
Older sister of fellow model Cara Delevingne, who can be seen fronting Burberry campaigns and storming the catwalks at New York and London Fashion Week , Poppy had recently been taking more of a modelling back seat, with her engagements as an ambassador for both Chanel and the British Fashion Council taking up much of her diary. But a recent campaign for Paige Denim and now these super-glossy snaps for Louis Vuitton are sure to put her firmly back on the modelling map.
Delevingne follows in the footsteps of her fellow London model Daisy Lowe, who starred in the brand's summer campaign in 2010.

Many will say that one of the biggest undoings of the American broadcast media would be preexisting biases in the minds of viewers, fuelled in part by assumptions that every network has its basic ideological leanings. When it is FOX, for example, there is a consensus that there would be a tilt to the right. When its CNN, then obviously it would be more left inclined. Shepard Smith, however, is one media character that does a good job of sticking to his task irrespective of preexisting stereotypes.
It is not often that you find an employee that openly airs unsavory opinions about his employers, but that's Shepard Smith, he really just does him. No gimmicks. He even finds time to criticize US President Donald Trump on a network that's predominantly pro-Trump. Whatever opinion you hold about his personal life, one thing is certain – Smith is pretty good at his job.
Born in Holly Springs, Mississippi, January 14, 1964, to David Shepard Smith Sr., a cotton merchant and Dora Ellen Anderson, an English teacher, Shepard attended Marshall Academy, in Holly Springs. Right after High school, he relocated to Florida with his mom after his parents got a divorce. He attended the University of Mississippi, where he studied for a degree in Journalism, he, however, left with just two credits shy of graduation.
media company, WJGH-TV after which he joined WBBH-TV as a reporter. He also had stints with WCPX-TV (now WKMG-TV) as a reporter. It was while during his time at WCPX-TV Los Angeles covering the OJ Simpson trial that he was spotted by Fox News founder Roger Ailes who at the time was setting up his team and was impressed by the forthrightness and frankness of Shepard's reporting.
He joined Fox News Channel in 1996 as one of the stations' pioneer staff. Since joining, he has more or less become part of the furniture at Fox covering many high-profile events around the world. He covered the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, the controversial Florida ballot counting in 2000 and the execution of American domestic tourist Timothy James McVeigh in 2001.
He has also anchored most of the channel's flagship news programs including The Fox Report with Shepard Smith and Studio B which airs weekdays on Fox News. Shepard Smith is presently the Managing Editor of Fox News' Breaking News Division which means that he heads a team of 17 Fox News staffers tasked with swinging into motion whenever a major news occurs whether its a mass shooting, a hurricane or any such blockbuster breaking news that often disrupts regular programming.
While there is obviously a clear difference in opinion between Shepard Smith and most notable figures on the books of Fox, the likes of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, Shepard Smith always insists their job description are really different. He says they anchor shows that espouse opinion and entertainment, while he deals with the News.
Smith has been a part of Fox from the stations' inception and is held in high regard by its top management. In March 2018, he was handed a lucrative multi-year contract which sees his stay at Fox extended for the foreseeable future.
Asides journalism, he made an appearance in the movie Volcano, videos of him anchoring the news on Fox appeared in the film Fahrenheit 9/11. Shepard Smith has a net worth of $25 million.
Shepard Smith's father was David Shepard Smith Sr while his mother's name is Dora Ellen Anderson. His parent's divorced right before he got into college. He has a brother, Benton Smith. He was married to his University of Mississippi classmate, Virginia Donald in 1987. The couple however divorced in 1993 and didn't have any kids together.
For much of his adult life, Shepard Smith has opted for a very private personal life, all that was seen was his professional side. Very few knew much about the man behind the journalist, so in April 2017 when Smith publicly disclosed he was gay in a speech at the University of Mississippi's Meek School of Journalism, it was a little surprising to many.
According to Smith, he had never considered himself to be closeted rather saw it as his personal business and really didn't see a reason make a fuss about it. He, however, admitted concerns about the acceptability and worried about how the news would go down with his employers bearing in mind that FOX News is a conservative setup.
Shepard Smith has been in a relationship with his gay partner for about six years. Though he insists he never "hid" his sexuality, not many knew he was gay. His partner is Giovanni Graziano, a production assistant who worked with Smith for a little over a year.
Graziano is a graduate of Broadcast Journalism from the Penn State University. After most insiders at Fox became aware of there relationship, Gio was moved to an affiliate Varney & Company to avoid a conflict of interest.

Trying to diminish Notre Dame football is getting old, but it's all good
Terence Moore
So those at SECcountry.com say Notre Dame is the second-most overrated college football program of all-time?
I mean, really?
OK, before I continue, here's a confession: You'll get a lot of Notre Dame football on this website. Since I was born and raised in South Bend, Ind., home of the Fighting Irish, I bleed blue and gold.
That said, they're picking on ND again.
Who are "they?"
Everybody.
Talking about a slew of haters for the most popular (and despised) sports team in history, and, no, it isn't Duke basketball. Nobody cared about the Blue Devils before Coach K came along 38 years ago. Such also was the case for the New England Patriots prior to the pairing of Tom Brady with Bill Belichick 18 years ago. The Dallas Cowboys? Nah. They didn't exist before 1960, and the Irish were decades into stardom by then.
The New York Yankees are close to Notre Dame here, since they've been famous and infamous from the days of Babe Ruth through those of Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter and now Aaron Judge.
Neither the Yanks nor others are the Irish, though. Knute Rockne started to turn his legend and that of Notre Dame into an obsession throughout the universe when he became their head coach exactly 100 years ago. That love/hate thing for Notre Dame exploded afterward, and you can blame a bunch of things.
It begins and ends with jealousy. The 11 consensus national championships, the seven Heisman Trophy winners, the consistently high graduating classes, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Lou Holtz, the Gipper, the Four Horsemen, the Rocket, the Golden Dome, the NBC contract, Touchdown Jesus.
"They" can't stand it all. So those at SECcountry.com (hint, hint, as in the Southeastern Conference, home of Alabama's dynasty that shows no sign of ending) determined recently that Notre Dame is the second-most overrated program ever. They did so by adding and subtracting points from teams through a formula comparing preseason and postseason polls by the Associated Press.
Oh, and these same SECcountry.com folks don't have any true SEC teams (Texas A&M doesn't count as more Southwest/Big 12 than something from this conference) in their top 10, but the Irish are prominently there.
Whatever, dudes.
The SECcountry.com folks put Southern California No. 1, and I'm not totally upset with that.
Even though the Trojans are among Notre Dame's top rivals, and even though they finished unranked 17 of the 57 times they were ranked during the preseason, the No. 1 team in this category should be . . . .
The University of Georgia.
Yep, it's the SEC's Bulldogs, who always rank among the nation's top programs in producing NFL players. They had 38 last season on opening week rosters, and just seven college teams (LSU, Southern Cal, Florida, Miami, Alabama, Ohio State and Florida State) had more. In fact, nearly every year, Georgia features a Herschel Walker, a Todd Gurley or a Nick Chubb, but the Bulldogs haven't won a national championship since after the 1980 season.
During that stretch, each of those seven teams mentioned above have won a national championship.
So has Notre Dame.
College basketball fans also should remember that other Georgia State moment
There was something memorable for the Panthers before four years ago supposedly made them famous
From somebody who knows: Wow! Here's the real deal on NCAA's new agent rule
If anybody can put the NCAA's latest bizarre move into perspective, it's famed sports attorney Don Jackson.
If college players want to go instead of play in bowl games, well, LET THEM GO!
So if an NFL prospect gets hurt during a meaningless bowl game, will his college team pay his lost wages? Not likely.
Everybody should "celebrate" this college bowl game for a bunch of reasons
If the likes of Jerry Rice, Walter Payton and others were still at their colleges, they would love a shot at this.
Those into expanding the College Football Playoff ignore this HUGE thing
Before long, all of the talk about more college football playoff teams will become action, and this isn't good.
From The Vault: This Serena officiating thing is a mess, but Notre Dame has seen worse
This controversy involving Serena Williams and the chair umpire last week at the U.S. Open brings to mind all of weird…
North Carolina folks: If you give athletes shoes, they should wear them or sell them as you look the other way

Now this is what I'm talking about. Just like that, Condoleezza Rice and her colleagues for the Commission on College…
