Penn State Football Should Take a "Special" Page Out of Pete Carr
2009-11-15 01:19:00 UNIVERSITY PARK, PA - "Misadventures in Happy Valley" - that would be a catchy and fitting title to a new movie starring the Penn State special teams unit. Well, that and the fact that "Waiting to Exhale" was already taken. During a season where Penn State football began with many question marks, from offensive line, to wide receivers, to a young and inexperienced secondary, the biggest issue in the end has been special teams....
Debating The Big Ten Title: Ohio State and Iowa Collide... Blogger Style
2009-11-13 18:27:00 With the Big Ten game of the year right around the corner, two die hard fans got together to debate the merits of their two teams. Bret Feddern, a self-admitted Hawkeye Nerd on IowaHawkeyes.net and Bleacher Report Iowa Featured Columnist, will argue for the Hawkeyes. Following Bret's tweets during an Iowa game is fun... give it a shot. I will be arguing for the Buckeyes (as if they need the help.)The Hawkeyes and Buckeyes take the field on Saturday and the winner will be off to the Rose Bowl. We can't match that drama here, but we'll give it a shot....

Crain's: State deal would avoid CTA fare hike
2009-11-11 01:33:00 Greg Hinz is reporting on his Crain's Chicago Business blog tonight that the state and CTA have struck a deal for enough additional operating cash to avoid fare hikes. However, the $90 million in service cuts would proceed. From the report:According to reliable sources, the deal involves the Regional Transportation Authority issuing bonds for capital projects that would be funneled to the CTA. That would allow the CTA to shift some federal capital funds into its cash-short operating budget, thereby avoiding the necessity to hike fares.As part of the deal, the state reportedly would help the CTA pay debt service on the RTA funds for at least a couple of years. Other monies would go to Pace, which has had trouble...

2009-11-09 18:40:00 [From Huffington Post] Miles Mogulescu It’s truly depressing to watch how quickly so-called progressive leaders in Congress, and many of their supporters in the so-called progressive movement, are abandoning all of their key promises on health care reform in the name of a health care bill that will provide massive government subsidies to private insurance and drug ...

A Topsy-Turvy Day In The Big Ten: Ohio State Now In Control of the Champion
2009-11-08 04:41:00 The Big Ten's topsy-turvy day has come to an end. No. 4 Iowa saw it's magical run come to an end at the hands of the Northwestern Wildcats; Illinois continued its renaissance by holding on to beat the Gophers on the road; Western Michigan was no match for the "oh so close" Spartans; Purdue became the only team to sweep both Ohio State and Michigan this season; and Wisconsin held off a scrappy Indiana team. Then there was the big game in State College......
Quinn to CTA: no fare hikes if you want more state help
2009-10-30 12:00:00 Gov. Pat Quinn drew a line in the sand Thursday. From the Tribune Clout St. blog:"We need a commitment, not only from CTA, but Metra and Pace that they are going to have a moratorium on any fare increases for the next year or two," Quinn said. "I think it's important to make that clear. I think the people of northeastern Illinois need to be able to get to work and get to school and get to where they need to go without having to pay more."The legislature is working on rescinding free rides for seniors, but that's certainly not enough. So, the Trib reports, "lawmakers also are considering a provision to temporarily increase the amount of money the Regional...
Penn State's Derek Moye: The Big Ten's Most Under-Appreciated Rec
2009-10-23 07:44:00 Drop the talk about Arrelious Benn of Illinois or Keith Smith from Purdue. Say goodbye to Eric Decker. It's time to say hello to the most under-appreciated receiver in the Big Ten, and perhaps all of college football.Some fans in Happy Valley like to call him "D. Moye". And while in real life, the "D" is short for Derek, more and more each day the true meaning of the "D" would be more fitting as "disrespected"....

Wallace Has Coming-Out Party as Penn State Shuts Down Minnesota
2009-10-18 04:29:00 STATE COLLEGE, PA - On a day first owned by Mother Nature, Penn State and senior cornerback A.J.

Penn State Secondary Will Get First True Test with Minnesota's Decker
2009-10-14 06:33:00 Entering the 2009 season, one of the biggest question marks for Penn State was the team's secondary, which entering the season lost significant experience from the 2008 roster, with players such as Anthony Scirrotto, Tony Davis and Lydell Sargeant all moving on.Left was a talented, yet inexperienced bunch, featuring only a handful of returning starts, all from two players in senior A.J. Wallace and sophomore free safety Drew Astorino.Midway through the season, this group of Lions has held its own, but it goes without saying that the Penn State secondary has barely been tested to date.Until this weekend, that is, when a more consistent Minnesota offense comes to town, led by the Big Ten's receiving leader Eric Decker (46 receptions...
State Street's Marble Palace (10-12-1868)
2009-10-12 07:01:00 The ad was prominently placed, in the upper-right corner of the front page of the Chicago Tribune. "REMOVAL and OPENING" read its headline. Field, Leiter & Company was coming to State Street. Marshall Field--the man, not the store--had arrived in Chicago in 1856 at age 21. Within a few years he had become a partner in Potter Palmer's thriving dry goods store on Lake Street. In 1867 Palmer sold his share of the business to Field and Levi Leiter. Palmer was now concentrating on real estate. Lake Street had always been Chicago's shopping street. But Lake was only a block from the river and the produce market and all their odors. Palmer thought State Street was the avenue of the...
Halftime In Champaign: Michigan State On Top 17-0
2009-10-10 19:28:00 The much-discussed Illinois quarterback change hasn't accomplished anything yet for Coach Ron Zook, as his Illini trail 17-0 at halftime of today's Homecoming contest. The margin could be even more lopsided, but Michigan State running back Glenn Winston fumbled at the Illinois 1-yard line and the home team recovered.The Spartans have rolled up 281 yards of offense in the first half, compared to only 58 for the Illini. Michigan State's usual starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins, hasn't played a snap yet, and only time will tell if Illinois star Juice Williams will get a shot in the second half or if Zook sticks with Eddie McGee, who's gone the distance so far.One injury note: Winston is out for at least the...

With starter Kirk Cousins still battling an ankle injury, Keith Nichol has led MSU on back-to-back scoring drives to quiet the Homecoming crowd at Memorial Stadium.As the first quarter ended, Illinois had finally mounted a solid drive, and Ron Zook's crew faces an important third-down play to start the second quarter. Can Eddie McGee make something positive happen for the Illini?...

The State Of E-mail Marketing In India
2009-09-14 13:42:00 The past ten years have seen an extraordinary flurry of jargons and buzz-words in the domain of marketing. While the only big inclusion in the marketing budgets of corporates is Internet marketing, this term itself can mean so many different things. Search Engine Marketing, blog marketing, email marketing, social media marketing are just some of these new buzz words. Today we have marketing books just to teach you how to market your brand via a Facebook or a Twitter. While such new avenues of marketing are being created every now and then, only a few of these marketing channels have stuck to being a reliable medium over the long run. A recent study showed that channels like search engine marketing and email marketing are among those that have stood the test of time to remain the best forms of Internet marketing still. Email marketing has been a rage in the western world for quite sometime. The reasons are not difficult to fathom. Email is still the primary form of communication for...

The Big Ten's Best 11: No. 6 Sean Lee, Penn State Linebacker
2009-08-27 04:47:00 Sean Lee's 2008 season came to end before it even got started when he suffered a torn ligament in his right knee during spring practice. Now--after spending the 2008 season "coaching" from the sidelines--the senior linebacker and All America candidate spends his days immersed in the Penn State defense and his nights are filled with the thoughts of the first meaningful snap since the 2007 Valero Alamo Bowl."That first game hit--I hope it's set up nicely," Lee told USA Today. "A wide receiver coming across the middle, or a running back making a cut right into me ... or the quarterback setting up and I'm coming on a blitz. I've thought of different scenarios."...

They are going to put him under general and take out a portion of his arm. They’re trying to work out the OR schedule. I still don’t know what kind of cancer it is… And I think my parents are confused. So, I asked them to have the doctor PRINT it out for me. They don’t seem to care what kind – but I CARE. RESEARCH people! It’s good for you and keeps you from being taken, keeps you informed and involved in your own care rather than the therapy happening TO you. Luckilly they have a pushy daughter, and I will get to the bottom of it. They...

Pay Illinois legislators in downgraded state bonds
2009-08-01 16:58:00 Now here's a great idea from Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Proft. Noting that Illinois bonds have been downgraded thanks to irresponsible and incompetent state legislators, he suggests that instead of getting paid in dollars, they should be forced to take their salary in state bonds. As good as the idea is, however, I don't think it goes far enough. They should be paid in worthless confederate dollars. Like that currency, Illinois legislators, who are leading the state into bankruptcy, are totally worthless....
