Roger Mitchell's mom went to her grave thinking her son blocked that kick! So many great stories surrounding this game. And listening to the broadcast now, hearing Auburn "turn the Tide"- it gets you excited like it was yesterday.

Too right Todd, I recall that great event. I too miss those days of yore'. My time at WEGL was a fantastic time with amazing training and requirements before a DJ could go on air. We had a full 9 weeks of classes and at least 2 hour-long tapes proving our abilities to mix music, back-time for PSAs, read news and weather, as well as take phone calls and make emergency system broadcasts if necessary. How saddened was I a few years ago to visit the WEGL website and find the roster was mostly full of automated music overnight. I recall the days of DJs not getting shifts due to the amount of people who had a passion to be on radio and do radio. The best times on air were to take requests and do give-aways. I loved talking to other students and being a part of their lives even though I only was there over the air. Really sad to read such things of WEGL. Of course, I am a long way away from Auburn both by time and distance, but it saddens me for sure. Pineapple Bob, '91. War Eagle!

I meant of course SC membership not DC....

Of course you are right about the Security Council but let us not forget that the UN is whatever its members make of it. If they want it to be more effective they can certainly make it so. But do they? As for your solutions: 1. Perhaps by giving all U.N. countries fair representation in the Security Council as well. 2. Perhaps by abolishing the veto system and making decisions via a typical democratic voting process, thereby preventing countries from impeding justice to further their own political motives. Number 1 is unworkable. The Security Council would get even less done than it does now due to having to get 192 nations to agree on anything. But there should be better integration between the Security Council and General Assembly, perhaps having the President of the GA sitting in on SC meetings and reporting back to the Assembly. Number 2 is a great idea but requires the agreement of the 5 veto powers plus an amendment to the UN Charter. Highly unlikely. It's best to attack the problem in steps and the first step should be to increase DC membership to 25 with nations like India, Brazil, Japan and a couple of others getting permanent status. That would be a start.

The mission of the new U.N. envoy to Syria is not only "impossible" but also naive. Perhaps the U.N. sees no harm in sending Lakhdar Brahimi to Syria, but it is utterly foolish for him to be there waiving a white flag in the mist of aerial bombings and intense ground fighting. Indeed, even if peace was still plausible, it would mean loss of power for Assad and his henchmen -- or their answering for war crimes, as they had reached the point of no return to civilized governance long ago. Their only hope now is to fight the rebellion and carve out a chunk of Syria for their refuge. The Iranian regime is absolutely determined to help Assad do this -- which is precisely why the path through Syria has become our gateway to Iran. And let us not fool ourselves: That regime will have to be confronted militarily, sooner or later. The time to do so is now when we have other nations by our side going into Syria. As for Russia and China, these two are reasonable opponents and will do what is best for them -- and the rabid Iranian regime is not much better for them as it is for the rest of us. And like us, Russia and China have given up all hope of taming it. It is foreseeable then that Russia and China will again watch as we spend our blood and treasure to knock out another troublesome regime in the world. A more pressing question is whether we have any stomach left for another war. Assad and the Iranian regime are betting that we don't. But then so did Saddam and Gaddafi.

Vote AGAINST Obama and every politician that supports ILLEGAL migrants, over LEGAL residents.

Every Deferred Action that is granted should be accompanied by the permanent deportation of the illegal alien parents who caused this problem. The document mills are running 24-7. He made the offer only good for 2 years so they would be forced to take whatever slight risk might be involved in registering to vote and voting. Both Obama and the illegals know that the game is up if he loses in November. "On the national level, efforts pursued by the Obama administration are countering the intended effects of Southern immigration policies." What are "Southern immigration Policies?" "Additionally, the new national policy grants immunity to aliens who used fake Social Security in order to find work." If Obama grants immunity to aliens who commit fraud, why shouldn't he grant immunity to citizens who commit fraud? "Jim Carnes, communications director for Alabama Arise, an advocacy organization that overlooks public policies that affect low income Alabamians." They do not care about policies that hurt low income citizen and legal resident families. Apparently, Alabama Arise is an advocacy organization that is funded by the exploitive employers of illegal aliens or they would not be helping those employers use illegal workers to drive down wages and destroy benefits for all workers, legal and illegal.

After reading this article it made me wonder why not more research is being done in the neurofeedback field? I use a program based on this platform and have great success whereas I did not with the medications. It's called play attention, developed by a teacher for parents and teachers as well. I use it now as a positive reinforcement with my child because she actually enjoys playing it. It also gives the parent interaction I so desperately needed with her and I can chart her progress in real time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Lane Scott Jones article. She is a pleasure to read, as well as intoxicatingly funny. Did she also draw the art work herself? Love the fact she will touch on subjects, others may deem as "taboo", plus she's just plain lane funny. Keep up the good work!
