I essentially believe that it is healthier (in general) and safer than processed and non-organic equivalents. My skepticism is in the vein, "How do I know it really is?" My children purchase mostly only organic for the dozen grandchildren. The only thing I've ever purchased organic is the chickens in my Amish neighbors front yards and my archery license! So is it really organic because the label says so? Thank you!

I'm a huge DT fan and hope to see him win an Olympic gold some day. That being said, I've never been disappointed in him on a particular match. I've been disappointed for him on the Dake matches and Bubba match but never disappointed in him. This one is different.

Now, I know he (nor anyone) gives two shits of what I think, but I think he quit during that 3rd match. The sweat/grease on the mat was absolutely ridiculous, Cox is an extremely tough nut to crack, Cox should have been on the clock, etc., but I think DT gave up on all his offensive arsenal during the last half of match.....after Cox was hurt.

I think DT will recover fine and eventually have an Olympic spot but that was very disappointing for me to watch.

So we moved to a new house about 2 years ago and got rid of the big yard. Our current home has about 1/3 of an acre....so I no longer have my riding mower....just a self propelled Toro with Briggs & Stratton engine. I am sick of having to tinker with it and repair every couple of months.

Does anyone have any experience with the Ryobi electric mower or the Ego? A neighbor said I could try out his Ego electric but I wanted to see if anyone else had any feedback for use of electric mower on small, flat yard.

I like the idea of no longer having to full with gas and oil etc.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this was already posted. An incredible accomplishment. Buckle up and congrats! http://www.centredaily.com/news/local/education/penn-state/article154905909.html

Sandusky Accuser's Atty Faces $3M Abuse Settlement Suit
By Matt Fair

Law360, Philadelphia (June 6, 2017, 2:44 PM EDT) -- One of ex-Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s purported sex abuse victims filed a $2.8 million lawsuit against his former attorney on Monday, alleging that he was plied with alcohol and coerced into signing a settlement that significantly undervalued his molestation claims.

A malpractice complaint lodged in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas accuses Albert Torrence, an attorney from Beaver County in western Pennsylvania, of taking then-client Stephen Milbourne to a bar where, instead of being walked thoroughly through the settlement offer, he...

Literally that's the title of this article...

... The Bears now owe at least $18 million per year in interest-only payments on the stadium debt, and that number will balloon to at least $26 million per year in 2032 when Berkeley starts paying off the principal stadium cost. Payments will increase until they peak at $37 million per year in 2039, then subside again in 2051 before Berkeley will owe $81 million in 2053. After that, the school is on the hook for $75 million more and will have six decades to pay it off. The stadium might not get paid off until 2113, by which time, who knows, an earthquake could send the stadium back into the earth or football as we know it might be dead......


Let's hope we avoid this fiasco with our upcoming reno of the Beav coming up.

Digging into the new Twin Peaks show (which I love) and revisiting the original gave me a new appreciation for how badass Agent Cooper is. And since I know a lot of folks here love good TV, and especially good law enforcement/detective TV, I thought maybe we should have a poll of our favorites. Of course, there have been a TON of great TV cops/detectives - I listed ones I sort of have a bias towards. Of course, feel free to write in a favorite. I also didn't include cops or detectives from shows that were specials or mini-series (Cole from True Detective, etc.), or ones that would be funny but would take away from someone maybe more deserving (Barney Fife), or ones from more than one show (so, no Dana Scully, Phillip Jeffries, Tubbs, etc.).

You get three votes - get to it!!

Just found out im going to be the father of twins. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I built this chart out of curiosity, and I make no claims other than to say that I was interested in how Penn State performed against various opponent categories at various intervals. Everyone is entitled to draw whatever conclusions they choose. I share this because I thought it was interesting.


NOTES:

PSU RECORD VS ALL B1G TEAMS ALL-TIME: Includes all games against current members of the B1G whether or not those teams were members of the Conference at the time, and whether or not PSU was a member of the B1G at the time.

PSU RECORD VS B1G TEAMS ALL-TIME w/o MD, RUT: Same as above without the MD and RUT games.

PSU RECORD VS THE B1G POWER TEAMS ALL-TIME: Power Teams used here are PSU, UM, MSU, OSU, and UW as many consider those teams Power Teams in the current football environment.

PSU RECORD VS THE B1G POWER TEAMS SINCE 1993: Since PSU joined the Conference.

PSU RECORD VS ALL B1G TEAMS SINCE 1993: Since PSU joined the Conference.

PSU RECORD VS MAJOR OPPONENTS ALL-TIME: “Major Opponent” is defined by sports-reference as follows - "In general, if a school was part of an FBS-equivalent conference, or if a school played a majority of their games against other rated schools, then I included them. If the number of games was 50%, then I made a judgment call (usually based on the year before and after). Sometimes, a school played fewer games against other rated schools, but I included them to avoid 'holes' in the data. At times there were just plain subjective decisions. In the very early years it was a little more esoteric. In deciding who to include it was as much art as science."

PSU RECORD VS ALL OPPONENTS ALL-TIME: Self-explanatory; includes the likes of Susquehanna, Duquesne A.C., Mansfield, Gettysburg, Homestead A.C., Washington & Jefferson, and so on… and interestingly Pitt was considered a non-major in the early years.

PSU RECORD VS ALL OPPONENTS SINCE 1945: Self-explanatory.

Does anyone know?

I wish I'd found this piece before. It directly addresses a number of the questions from the thread the other day.

I actually read the book along with the airing of the miniseries back in 2001. Every time I watch this I am just awestruck by the epic undertaking of this series.

All knowing board,

I am going to be in Seattle this Saturday until noon on Sunday. With only having a day, what are some fun things you would do having only one day in Seattle? I am also looking for a great place with a big craft beer selection for lunch and a good place for seafood or other restaurant for dinner.

Thanks!

I only saw the MD-DU lax game at a bar, so I couldn't really tell why the MD and then later the DU goals were disallowed. On the replays, both goals looked good to me. Can anyone else who saw the game weigh in? Was either call a bad call? TIA

Pitt counseling center director charged with possessing child porn
ANDREW GOLDSTEIN AND ALEX WEIDENHOF
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette



The director of the University of Pittsburgh’s counseling center has been arrested on charges he was in possession of child pornography.

Edward J. Michaels, 67, of Wilkinsburg was charged Tuesday by Allegheny County Police with possessing child porn and criminal use of a communication facility. A university spokesman said Mr. Michaels has been placed on leave.

According to a police affidavit, a Wilkinsburg police sergeant went to Mr. Michaels’ Old Gate Road home on March 27 after receiving a tip from a concerned person who had seen photographs of young girls at the residence.

The sergeant found photos of apparently prepubescent girls in sexually explicit poses at Mr. Michaels’ home, the affidavit said. The sergeant seized two laptop computers, two USB memory sticks and several hundred loose photographs, according to the affidavit.

County police detectives reviewed the evidence and said it included photos of young girls in various stages of undress, a naked girl lying on a bed, and other sexually explicit images.

Mr. Michaels was arraigned Wednesday night and was released on non-monetary bond.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. June 1 with District Judge Kim Marie Hoots in Wilkinsburg.

Mr. Michaels’ could not be reached Wednesday, and court documents did not list an attorney for him.

His biography on the Pitt website says he joined the university’s division of student affairs as the counseling center director in 2015. He chairs the school’s mental health task force, which promotes student well-being, according to the biography.

“The university is cooperating fully with authorities conducting the investigation,” Pitt spokesman Joe Miksch said in an email. “Michaels, who has been a member of the staff for two years, served in an administrative role, and was not assigned clients.”
