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.”

There's been some criticism here about Maryland's acceptance into the BT from a sports perspective, but with the exception of football and a few "minor " sports, Maryland has raised the conference profile. Maryland excels or is competitive in the following sports: Men's and women's LAX, men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's and women's soccer, and field hockey, to name some that come immediately to mind. I could be missing a few. That's a resume that not many BT members have. It's academic qualifications also compare with or exceed the rest of the conference. Rutgers is a different story.

can be streamed now, on ESPN3.

I missed the first few minutes.

MD just scored with 25:17 left, to go up 1-3. There's a TO -- I'm guessing that PSU called it, but there's no announcement of such.

PSU should have had the draw control, but missed the ball, and MD ended up with the draw control, and then PSU fouled the girl.

The Penn State women’s lacrosse team is solidifying itself as one of the nation’s top programs.

The Nittany Lions locked up their 15th trip to the NCAA semifinals Sunday afternoon, including their second straight final four appearance.

“It’s a great statement for us,” coach Missy Doherty said. “We feel like we’re one of the top teams out there and it’s awesome to be going to back-to-back final fours.”

Haven't seen this posted yet.

I was looking at the women's LAX final four pairings and noticed that all four seeds on the opposite bracket had been eliminated, and that the two semi finalists on that side were Navy and Boston College.

I would have to think that PSU would be favored over either of them if we can get by Maryland in the other semi final.

It would be great to win another NC is a different sport and widen the array of PSU programs at the top level in the country.

Bringing in a professor with extensive research refuting that repressed memory therapy actually makes you remember things, but in fact gives you new fake memories.

A rare court filing that's worth the read.

Nothing on the Pitt board, no surprise.

With 157 of 159 precincts reporting, Dave Sunday has a lead over Eshbach in the primary. Sunday has 13,821 votes to Eshbach's 12,895 votes. Sunday has declared himself the winner.

The two were running in the R primary. There were no candidates in the D primary for York County DA, so whoever won the R primary is the prohibitive favorite to become the next DA of York County.

The above info is from the York Daily Record's web site.

These people remind me of this:

"— but you don't know when to shut up, George! You’re a pain in the neck".

Yes, let's place some culpability where none exists, and feed trolls, idiots and assholes some more.

http://www.centredaily.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article150929017.html

Poofter Live has an article on the apology, with the usual troll comments.

Even though the show has sort of fell into a predictable pattern of late (design something, doesn't work as intended, works great for something else, try to get funding, Erlich screws something up, Richard screws something up worse, they get a small victory some other way, Big Head steps in crap and continues to come out smelling roses, etc.) it's still fun to watch and sort of think, 'Wow, this is really how stuff seems like it works in the tech/app industry!' Also, they've made Erlich's Chinese house-mate, Jian Yang, a much bigger part of the show for the better. Last episode where Erlich made Jian Yang develop an app that is supposed to be able to take a picture of food and tell you what it is (SeeFood) was great - especially when Jian Yang reveals that his app can only determine if something is a hot dog, or not a hot dog. Funnier still is when Erlich trades his stock in the app to Jian Yang for a corvette and his backyard hut, only to find out Periscope bought the app/tech because it turns out the hot dog/not a hot dog determination works great for detecting unwanted penis pics.

Also, Jian-Yangs prank phone calls to Erlich are the best...

Anyone listening or finished? For those familiar with the hugely successful 'Serial' and 'This American Life' podcasts, 'S-Town' (Sh*t Town) is their latest installment of serialized, investigative journalism and it ups the ante by making all episodes available on day one (and like 'Serial', this is a HIGHLY binge-able podcast that is designed to be devoured in one sitting).

The gist is this - Brian Reed, a reporter/journalist who works for This American Life/Serial was contacted by a man named John (a seemingly well off, climate-change obsessed, mathematical savant who spends his days building a hedge maze, fixing antique clocks, studying 'apocalyptic' statistics, and putting troubled locals to work on his property) who lives in a small town in rural Alabama and who believes that injustice is all around us, and nowhere more prevalent than his hometown of Woodstock, where local a local rich kid has been bragging to anyone willing to listen that he killed a man and got away with it. Reed takes the bait and after several conversations with John, he travels to Woodstock to uncover the truth. What starts out as a murder mystery is actually resolved mid-way through episode two, and an unexpected twist turns the entire story upside down in a fascinating shocking way.

I know there is a 'movement' of sorts with the fascination of Appalachia culture and 'redneck/hillbilly' ideology, but the journalism here is very sincere and fair, and the portrait painted of the people and life of Woodstock, AL is quite eye-opening. Would be interested to hear others' thoughts on this providing folks provide a 'SPOILER' warning - so far, I'm only half way through episode three (there are seven total).

You can listen via iTunes or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
