‘August: Osage County’ sets up shop at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse
Editor’s note: As originally published, the plot synopsis in the third and fourth paragraphs of this review were strikingly similar to text from a 2007 review in the publication Variety. The phrasing was similar enough that a reader familiar with the Variety review and the Times review could reasonably conclude the text may have been plagiarized for The Times. After an internal examination, including conversation with the Times review’s author and a representative of the Friends of Marjorie Lyons Playhouse, we have concluded that : 1) the freelance writer who wrote the Times review copied the text in question with minor revisions from a press release provided to her by the playhouse, and 2) the playhouse obtained the same text from marketing materials published at a website of the Dramatists Play Service. The play service website credits Variety for the play synopsis. The playhouse press release did not. We have rewritten the third and fourth paragraphs to eliminate any appearance of plagiarism.
What better month is there than August, when you want to present a play entitled “August: Osage County?” And the dinner theatre of Northwestern State University warns that there are pirates in the area.
Friends of Marjorie Lyons Playhouse announces its production of “August: Osage County” by Tracy Letts.
The play won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 and the Tony Award for a staged-drama and was later released as a film featuring Meryl Streep.
The script deals with a dysfunctional family transitioning to the 21st century. It is both funny and dark.
Recently home from playing Captain Walker in “The Who's Tommy” at the Springer Opera House in Georgia, Nate Wasson, director of the production, is excited and honored to be collaborating with such an extremely talented group of artists.
“This cast has made the process fun in breathing life into this family,” says Wasson. “As a fellow alum, I am excited to see so many alumni give back to our alma mater!”
After directing “August: Osage County,” Nate will be diving in head-first to play King Triton in “The Little Mermaid,” and then rolling up his sleeves to play Slim in “Of Mice and Men,” both at the Springer Opera House in Georgia.
Mr. Wasson will return in February to direct Shreveport Opera's production of” Fiddler on the Roof.”
The play features Set Design by Don Hooper, Lighting Design by Courtney Gaston, Costume Design by Sasha Hildebrand, Wig and Makeup Design by Sondra Nottingham, and Fight Choreography by Andrew Dylan Ray.
When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets.
Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a family drama that unflinchingly — and uproariously — exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Actress Cynthia Whitaker plays Violet, the mother.
“To me, she is the female equivalent of King Lear. Violet is a very complex woman, and she’s addicted to pain pills on top of that. The character has so many layers to play,” she confides.
Meade Patton portrays Charlie, the mild mannered, long suffering man, very much in love with his wife Mattie Fae.
“But when he is pushed to his limits, he vigorously defends his son to her, even if it should threaten their marriage. He is one of the few redeeming personalities of the show.”
“And maybe he’s not so much in the dark as certain members of the family believe.”
Anna Maria Sparke says of her character, Ivy, “She has spent much of her adult life caring for her parents. Always in the shadow of her older sister, Barbara, and distanced from her precious little sister Karen, Ivy has always strugged for approval from her domineering mother.”
“Now, however, Ivy has a secret she hopes will shape a beautiful future.”
“August: Osage County” will run for six performances, opening on August 12th and closing August 20th. All performances will be held at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse on the Centenary College campus.
Dates and performance times are Friday and Saturday, August 12-13 at 7 p.m. Sunday, August 14 at 2 p.m., then August 18-20 at 7 p.m.
Marjorie Lyons Playhouse is located on the campus of Centenary College, at 2700 Woodlawn Avenue in Shreveport.
Tickets are available by calling the box office at 318-869-5242.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells
There’s a powerful synergy between prolific singer-writers Andrea Marr and John McNamara.
When they brought their soulful voices together, it was like a blues ‘match in heaven’.
Such is their magic, their act The McnaMarr Project was only early in its inception when it won its way to the world’s biggest blues competitions, the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA .
The pair were still writing their songs while waiting backstage during qualifying.
They are one of seven Australian bands invited to the challenge on 22-26 January.
“I was gobsmacked (to win qualifying),” Ms Marr, of Springvale, said.
“We were very undercooked. I thought it must prove we’re supposed to be together.”
The pair had joined forces only seven months ago at the behest of their publicist, who described them as the “male and female of each other”.
Separately both have written chart-stopping blues hits in the US and Australia.
“We got feedback from the whole blues community that we’re perfect for each other.
“Since I’ve been singing, I’ve never blended with another voice like with John.
“We write in the same keys, with the same feels.”
Growing up in Sri Lanka, her parents were steeped in music – her father as a singer and bass guitarist, her mother singing in church choirs.
Ms Marr has been on stage since she was three years old. But she wasn’t exposed to blues to much later on.
“Then I realised the DNA of the music was so me.
“That was exactly what I had been doing.”
For the past 25 years, she has run the Andrea Marr Music School in Springvale.
She is proud that one of her school’s proteges Charlie Bedford has been invited to the Memphis event’s youth showcase.
At the Challenge, 250 blues acts will be battling for supremacy as well as jamming together every night.
Before the event, Ms Marr is teaming up with blueswomen from around the world for a blockbuster show.
“It’s incredible. It’s a big honour – it’s the best of the world in one place.
“It’s just magic for a musician.”

The KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka paid a courtesy visit to the Lord Mayor’s Office. They had an interface where the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago welcomed her and further shared with her his strategic direction for Kampala City as she starts her tour of duty. The interface was also intended to know one another as they plan for Kampala as a City of the 21st Century by improving its planning in a participatory and inclusive way.
The Lord Mayor underscored the key tenets and benchmarks that guide his leadership and policy direction summarized in the six pillar of principles and policy guidelines that were endorsed by the electorate in Kampala while making a social contract him. The same were later presented before the Authority and unanimously approved and these are;
- Corporate Governance and Rule of Law.
- Proper Planning and Sustainable Transformation.
- Accountability and Transparency.
- Equity and Social Justice.
- Frugality and Prioritization in the Budgeting processes and;
- Promoting Kampala as a Hub for Investment and Tourism.
They later toured the Lord Mayor’s Parlor and Gardens which greatly needs to be refurbished. The Lord Mayor’s Parlor was opened by the Governor Sir John Hathorn Hall in 1949 and marks the time when Kampala became a City. It is therefore an important part of Uganda’s national history and heritage which deserves to be preserved and protected.

This month, Illinois lawmakers took a major step in repairing the state's finances by approving a pension overhaul. The plan has its critics, including unions who promise to file a lawsuit. The courts will decide whether the pending changes violate the state's constitution.
In the meantime, the average taxpayer in Illinois might be wondering if the law will have any sort of ripple-effect on their tax rates. U-of-I economist Jeff Brown says it's a mixed-bag. He spoke with WNIJ's Mike Moen.

ERB 100-Word Drabbles
JUNE IIIa Edition :: Days 16-30
See Days 1-15 at ERBzine 7384
by Robert Allen Lupton
With Collations, Web Page Layout and ERBzine Illustrations and References by Bill Hillman
June 16: On this day in 1928, Argosy All-Story Weekly published the 5th installment of 6 parts of “Apache Devil.” Roger B. Morrison drew one black and white illustration for the issue. The cover of the issue was by Edgar Franklin Wittmack and it illustrated the novelette “The White Antelope” by Charles L. Hall. Other stories in the issue included ‘One Man’s Brain, Inc.” by John Wilsach and “The Monkey’s Mate’ by Robert Beith.
The drabble for today is “Some Folks,” and it was inspired by the mixed reception that “Apache Devil” received in the 1920s. Some fans of Burroughs’ Tarzan and interplanetary romances didn’t know what to make of a story about the American West – especially not one where Native Americans weren’t portrayed in the traditional pulp magazine or dime novel style. Thanks to the band, Sawyer Brown, for the the chorus of their song "Some Girls," modified for the last line of this drabble.
Apache Devil sat on the bookshelf in the bookstore next to a copy of “The Princess of Mars.” Apache said, “Hi, you’re the twelfth copy of Princess this month. Last month, there were seven more of you.”
Princess said, “Don’t worry about it. You’ll sell soon enough.”
“I’m concerned that people have been writing mean things about me. People who don’t like me should be punished!”
“If you’re a good book, you’ll survive any criticisms. They still write bad things about me too. I don’t try to please everyone. Some folks don’t like books like me, but some folks do!”
June 17: On this day in 1914, A. C. McClurg officially published “Tarzan of the Apes.” McClurg printed 5000 copies, ordered 2500 copies from another printer (with an acorn on the spine) and another 2500 copies without the acorn. For details on how to tell if your copy is a first edition, one source is “Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Bibliography. The first and simplest test is ‘who published the book.’ A. L. Burt and ‘Grosset and Dunlap’ DID NOT print any first editions written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. “Tarzan of the Apes” has to be published by A. C. McClurg to be a first edition. If it’s a McClurg, all that’s left to figure out is which of the three states the copy is.
I suggest this website: http://www.erbfirsts.com/tarzan-html/t1.asp
For illustrations and publishing details, visit: https://www.erbzine.com/mag4/0483.html
Today’s 100 word drabble, “Acorn,” features my old friends from New Orleans, “John and Pat.”
“Pat, I found a first edition of “Tarzan of the Apes” at the book fair yesterday.”
“A. C. McClurg?”
“Which of the three states? Is there an acorn on the spine? Is W. F. Hall Printing on the copyright page printed in Old English typeface or in Gothic typeface?”
“I didn’t check those things. Why does anyone care about the typeface or a stupid acorn?”
“An old English proverb obviously applies here. “From a single acorn, a mighty oak tree grows.”
“Pat, you just made that up.”
“Yes, but think about it. If the parable fits, wear it?”
June 18: On this day in 1903, British actor, John Warburton was born in Drogheda, Ireland. Some sources give his birthday as June 18, 1899. In 1915, he stowed away on a freighter in order to reach America, where he embarked on an acting career. His first film was RKO’s “Secrets of the French Police” in 1932. Warburton appeared in 35 episodes of television’s “Fireside Theater” and had a role on the Star Trek Episode “Balance of Terror.”
Warburton portrayed Carl Marley, the man who financially backed the safari of the unscrupulous big game huntress, Tanya Rawlins, in the film “Tarzan and the Huntress.” Weissmuller appeared as Tarzan, Brenda Joyce played Jane and Johnny Sheffield was Boy.
For details about "Tarzan and the Huntress" visit https://www.erbzine.com/mag6/0627.html
The drabble for today is “Old Enough” and it was inspired by John Warburton.
“Mr. Warburton, I understand you stowed away on a freighter in 1915 to come to America.”
“Yes, war was brewing in Europe and I wanted to be in pictures. They weren’t making many films in Ireland. The theater scene in Dublin was pretty bleak. I wandered down to the wharf, picked up a bag of flour, tossed in over my shoulder, and walked aboard a freighter. I hid for five days.”
“You were what, 12 years old?’
“Maybe I was 12 or maybe a little older. Certainly old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. ”
BE LIKE TARZAN!
June 19: On this day in 1937, Rob Wagner’s Script Magazine published the article, “Birth of Tarzan by His Poppa.” Script Magazine published several articles and stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs, including the Inspector Muldoon Murder Mysteries.
Wagner, who discovered early on that he could make more money writing about the film industry than writing for it, covered the industry for “The Saturday Evening Post,” “Collier’s,” Liberty,” “Photoplay,” and others, founded the Motion Picture Relief Fund in 1921, along with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D. W. Griffin. Wagner and his wife started “Script” in 1929. Besides Edgar Rice Burroughs, Walt Disney, William Saroyan. Ogden Nash, Dalton Trumbo, Ray Bradbury, and Charles Chaplin wrote for the magazine. Bradbury regularly contributed short stories from 1940 through 1947.
The photograph is of Rob Wagner and artist, Leo Politi, circa 1940. Politi wrote and illustrated children’s stories – his “Son of the Swallows” won the Caldecott award in 1950.
The drabble for today, “Be Like Tarzan!’ is an excerpt from that article. It was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Tarzan of the Apes wasn’t written primarily for children, and my files contain letters of appreciation from men and women of all ages and from all walks of life -- school teachers, librarians, college professors, priests, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, sailors, and business men, among which are names internationally famous; but possibly the greatest pleasure I have derived from the publication of my stories has come through the knowledge that they’ve appealed also to children and that I have given them a character, however improbable he may seem, that will set them for a higher standard of manliness, integrity and sportsmanship."
BE LIKE TARZAN!
KORAK ON THE PROWL
June 20: On this day in 1921, A. C. McClurg published “Tarzan the Terrible.” The novel had been serialized for seven weeks in Argosy All-Story Weekly earlier that year. The first edition cover and nine interior illustrations were by J. Allen St. John. The first edition print run was 45,000 copies and the book was 408 pages long.
Robert B. Zeuschner lists 32 printings in his “Edgar Rice Burroughs The Bibliography, Joe Lukes identifies 20 Grosset and Dunlap “Pre-war” variants, and Jimmie C. Goodwin lists 19 variants in his “Edgar Rice Burroughs The Descriptive Bibliography of the Ace and Ballantine/Del Rey Paperback Books” (Two of the variants are in combination with “Tarzan the Untamed.”
Publishing details, an electronic version of the novel and covers for several editions are available at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag4/0494.html
Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. has recently reprinted the novel with a magnificent cover by Joe Jusko - http://edgarriceburroughs.com/erbauthorizedlibrary/
The drabble for today, ‘Korak on the Prowl,” is the blurb from the first Ballantine publication of the novel in 1963. The last sentence refers to Korak seeking his parents. One of my strongest memories of my first reading of the Tarzan novels as a child is the image of Korak trekking through the jungle carrying a rifle and ammunition, but refusing to use it to defend himself, reserving the weapon to save his parents once he found them. Good stuff.
Lieutenant Obergatz had fled in terror from the seeking of vengeance by Tarzan of the Apes. And with him, by force, he had taken Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane. Now the ape-man was following the faint spoor of their flight, into a region that no man had ever penetrated. The trail led across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal-ul-don—a savage land where primitive Waz-don and Ho-don fought fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails—and where the mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time. And far behind, relentlessly pursuing, came Tarzan and Jane’s son, Korak the Killer.
KORAK ON THE PROWL
BY THEIR BOOTSTRAPS
June 21: On this day in 1944, Edgar Rice Burroughs, war correspondent extraordaire, had his autograph book out for business.
The autographs that ERB received on June 21, 1944 included Georges Orsilli, the Governor of French Ociania (Tihiti) and a Colonel in the Signal Corps, named Frank Capra. Jack Renfro, a corporal from Drumright, Oklahoma, ERB’s driver also signed the book. Renfro later passed the officers candidates test and was scheduled to attend OCS as the war came to an end.
Scores of pages from ERB's autograph book are online at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag27/2776.html
The drabble for today is “By Their Bootstraps,” and it is inspired by the two men featured in it who both battled long odds to achieve success.
“Pleasure to meet you, Colonel Capra. I loved “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Would you please sign my autograph book?”
BY THEIR BOOTSTRAPS
“Only if you sign mine. I liked your Martian books the best. Maybe someday, I’ll get to direct a film featuring Dejah Thoris.”
“Certainly, I've read about you, Frank. Your family came to America in steerage class and yet, you became a famous director.”
“And you, Ed. You couldn’t even sell pencil sharpeners, but you became a popular novelist. Now, we’re both famous.”
“Frank, it’s a wonderful life.”
“Ed, That’s a great turn of phrase. I may use it someday.”
GOOD FOR ME
June 22: On this day 63 years ago actor Bruce Lorne Campbell was born in Royal Oak, Michigan. Campbell is well known for playing Ash Williams, he of the chainsaw hand, in “The Evil Dead,’ Evil Dead Two,” “Army of Darkness,” and the series “Ash Vrs. The Evil Dead.” He also appeared as Autolycus, King of Thieves in “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” and Xena: Warrior Princess. He played semi-retired spy, Sam Axe, on USA Network’s “Burn Notice.”
I nearly forgot to mention his appearance as Elvis in the classic, “Bubba Ho-Tep.” But most importantly, Bruce voiced the character, Max Leibing, in Disney’s “The Legend of Tarzan” in the 28th episode, “Tarzan and One Punch Mullargan.” Leibing was One Punch’s loudmouthed manager and promoter.
Watch the episode at: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3jsa4q
The 100 word drabble, “Good For Me,” is cobbled together from a series of quotations by Bruce Campbell, taken pretty much out of context and used to create an interview that never happened.
“Mr. Campbell, why did you become an actor?”
GOOD FOR ME
“My prospects were depressing; Adulthood meant that I’d have to stop having fun and do something I really didn’t want to do for the rest of my life – which was apparently a considerable chuck of time.
“Some of your films didn’t fare too well.”
“Such is an actor’s life. We must ride the waves of every film, barfing occasionally, yet maintain our sense of dignity, even as our Herculean efforts are keel-hauled before our very eyes.”
“So you’re proud of your work.”
“All men think they’re fascinating. In my case, it’s justified.”
June 23: On this day in 1998, actress Maureen O’Sullivan, Jane Porter to generations of Americans, died in Scottsdale, Arizona. Her death was the result of complications from heart surgery.
Besides playing Jane in six Tarzan films, she appeared in over 60 films including “The Thin Man,” “Anna Karenina,” “A Day at the Races,” and “Pride and Prejudice. She had reoccurring roles in three soap operas, “All My Children,” “Guiding Light,” and “Search for Tomorrow.”
She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – it faces the star of Johnny Weissmuller.
She was the mother of actress Mia Farrow and when she learned that Frank Sinatra wanted to marry her daughter she observed, “At his age, he should marry me!”
A detailed tribute to the actress is available at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag45/4569.html
The 100 word drabble for today, “Resume,” is taken from comments by Maureen O’Sullivan about playing Jane Porter.
“There was a period when I got so sick when they would ask me about Tarzan, as though I had done nothing else. I changed my mind when my oldest son said he was very proud that I was Tarzan's mate.
“Edgar Rice Burroughs was a nice guy . . . He asked me if I’d read any Tarzan books, and I had to say no. I had barely heard of Tarzan. He sent me a copy of every one of his books . . . He thought Weissmuller and I were the perfect Tarzan and Jane, which is lovely."
STACK OF CAPRONA
June 24: On this day in 1971, Actor Christopher Clare Showerman was born in Jackson, Michigan. Chris played the lead role of George in Disney’s “George of the Jungle 2” and also the character “Stack” in Asylum’s 2009 direct to video production of “The Land That Time Forgot,” a remarkably unfaithful movie version of the novel.
Showerman has appeared in dozens of films and television episodes, including the two short films, “Frankenbabe,” and “Batman, Personal Issues.”
The drabble for today is “Stack of Caprona,” and it’s based on – well, once upon a time there was this song about a jungle man named George, who had an elephant named Schlep and an ape friend named Ape, and ….
Captain Cole Stevens said, “This island is full of cave men, dinosaurs, and who knows what else. We gotta get out of this place. Stack, you got any ideas?”
STACK OF CAPRONA
“I’m strong as I can be. I swing from vines and trees.”
“That’s not helpful.”
“If my elephant, Schlep was here, we could schlep away on Schlep.”
“No elephants! Just dinosaurs that want to eat us. Run!”
Stack ran. The captain screamed, “Watch out for that tree.”
Stack bounced ofF the trunk and a tyrannosaurus ate him. The captain said, “I’ll miss Stack, he was a friend to you and me.”
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
June 25: On this day in 1922, the Los Angeles Times published the article “’Just Made A Living’ in Business; Now He’s Rich.” Roselle Dean wrote the article about Edgar Rice Burroughs, focusing primarily on Tarzana, Burroughs’ ranch.
The article mentions pure bread Hampshire swine, bulls, cows and horses. Read the entire article, complete with several photographs at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag13/1358.html
The drabble for today, “Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch,” is taken from that article.
After his success, Burroughs bought and christened Tarzana Ranch, which is reached through a red, ragged-robin rose hedge, and riding through this floral bower, hovered over by humming birds and butterflies is an experience at once and forever engraved upon the memory.
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
With orioles and mourning doves fluttering in the sycamores, it was difficult to record anything about Tarzana other than the glories of nature.
His fortunes have in no way affected him and as he looks about his beloved Tarzana, one realizes just how contented and happy is his existence in the beautiful hills that almost conceal his home.
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
June 26: On this day in 1967 the first installment of the “Boss Lady” story arc began in the Tarzan daily comic strip. “Boss Lady” was written and illustrated by John Celardo. It ran for 73 days and ended on October 16, 1967.
All of the John Celardo daily strips are available at www.erbzine.com, but this specific one is located at https://www.erbzine.com/mag46/4688.html
The boss lady, Miss O’Hare, travels to Port Banaga, Africa after another payroll is hijacked on its way to her rubber plantation. Jacqueline O’Hare arrives in Africa about two weeks into the storyline demanding answers from her plantation manager and the local bank. She immediately fires Tom Drake, the manager.
She accompanies the next payroll shipment, which is predictably hijacked. Tarzan and Tom Drake save her. She and Drake fight constantly. While in the jungle, a gorilla captures her. Drake saves her from the gorilla, but it overcomes the man. O’Hare comes to the man’s rescue and they fall in love. (What a surprise.)
Meanwhile, Tarzan tracks to bandits and recovers the payroll. O’Hare and Drake decide to marry and O’Hare resigns as president of a major international corporation and tells her future husband that they can live on his salary. June Cleaver would be proud.
The drabble for today is “Love and Marriage,” inspired by the comic story arc “Tarzan and the Boss Lady.”
Tom Drake kissed Jackie O’Hare and said. “I love you, but you live in America and I live in Africa. I could move to America.”
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
“No, Tom. We’ll marry and I’ll resign my job and move here.”
“We’ll buy a nice townhome in Port Banaga.”
“No, we’ll live on the plantation.”
“Okay, the schools are far away, but at least we don’t have children.”
“We will. Two boys, two girls.”
“How’s our marriage going to work if you don’t do what I tell you?”
Jackie smiled. “Everything will be fine. You’ve got a lot to learn about marriage, don’t you?”
June 27: On this day in 1941, Amazing Stories Magazine published “Black Pirates of Barsoom,” a story which would be ultimately published as the second part of the novel, “Llana of Gathol.” The magazine cover and two interiors were by J. Allen St. John. The rear cover of the issue featured the Frank R. Paul illustration for the short story, “A City on Pluto,” by Henry Gade, a house pseudonym used frequently by editor Raymond Palmer. It’s always nice to buy your own work.
The issue also contained the article, “Meet the Authors: Edgar Rice Burroughs” by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Publication details and several illustrations are available at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag7/0738.html
The drabble for today is “Bigger Sword,” and it was inspired by a fight scene in “Black Pirates of Barsoom.”
John Carter was forced to fight in the Lessor Games of Kamtol, an Olympic type event, against the mighty Nolat, who understood he stood no chance against the Warlord of Barsoom.
Nolat replaced Carter’s sword with a shorter weapon, but Carter rapidly disarmed him three times. Carter appealed to the judges. “Stop this fight before I kill him. This isn’t my sword, Nolat’s cheated and switched my sword with a lessor weapon.”
The judges completed their short arms inspection and ruled Carter the winner. Carter said, “The sword’s size doesn’t matter to a man who doesn’t know how to fight.”
June 28: On this day in 1947, Edgar Rice Burroughs was notified by Dell Publishing that the new Tarzan Comic, Dell Four Color Comic # 161, titled “Tarzan and the Fires of Tohr” had sold extremely well. The 52 page comic had a cover date of August 1947. It was written by Robert P. Thompson and illustrated by Jesse Marsh, who illustrated the Tarzan comics for several years.
The entire comic may be read at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag23/2398.html
“Tarzan and the Fires of Tohr” was based on a radio drama of the same name. Various websites have all or part of the radio serial available to hear or purchase. All 39 episodes are yours to listen to with a click on your computer. Go to: https://www.erbzine.com/mag31/3141.html
In the story, Tarzan and his companions search for the lost city of Tohr, and unfortunately find it. A Tohrian patrol of yellow men lead by Mungo, who is only a pawn in the game of life, capture the entire party. Their ruler, Queen Ahtea desires Tarzan. Like La, she offers Tarzan the chance to save everyone by become her mate. He refuses twice. During the climactic battle, the Queen falls into the “Fire of Tohr.” Mongo leads Tarzan and his friends back to civilization. Everyone else lives happily ever after.
The drabble for today is “Flexible Definition,’ based on the Fires of Tohr.
Mungo said, “Tarzan, Ahtea is the queen and high priestess. She will decide the fate of you and your companions.”
Queen Ahtea offered to free Tarzan’s friends if he would become her mate.”
Tarzan refused, but later asked Mungo. “Will she keep her word if I comply?”
“The Queen keeps her word however she chooses to do so. She may free your friends by letting them leave or by throwing them into the holy blue fires of Tohr.”
“She might kill my friends even if I agree to become her mate?”
“Take care. The Queen defines terms to suit herself.”
FORBIDDEN RED STAR OF ASHER
June 29: On this day in 1965, actor Victor Rodman died in Los Angeles, California. Victor, the son of Hungarian immigrants was born as Victor Rottman in Augusta, Arkansas, is best known for his work on Dragnet in 1955. He had a long career as a radio actor, performing in “Speed Gibson,” “This is your FBI,” “The Whistler,” “Lux Radio Theater,” “Suspense,” and “Tarzan and the Diamonds of Asher.” Rodman played “Wolf” in the Tarzan Radio serial. Rodman once suffered a disabling accident and took almost a thirty-year break from films, concentrating on radio productions until he began taking television roles in the 1950s.
“Tarzan and the Diamonds of Asher,” was the basis for the novel, “Tarzan and the Forbidden City,” To hear the entire radio series and read detailed information about it: https://www.erbzine.com/mag31/3140.html.
The drabble for today, “Forbidden Red Star of Asher,” was written by Vern Coriell, founder of the Burroughs Bulletin, and taken from his preface to his 1974 reprint of “The Red Star of Tarzan,” the name that Argosy had used for the magazine version of “Tarzan and the Forbidden City.”
When "The Red Star of Tarzan" appeared in Argosy magazine in 1938, it caused a minor stir among Burroughs fans. Some thought that ERB wasn’t the author of the story. Later, in September, 1938, when the book version, “Tarzan and the Forbidden City,” was published, fans noted a great difference between the versions. With the publication of the book, I simply filed it in my mind as a genuine Burroughs product, and the magazine's version as the tampering of Argosy's editor. The original version of this story was produced as a radio drama entitled "Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher."
FORBIDDEN RED STAR OF ASHER
A PRINCESS OF MARS
June 30: On this day in 1911, Edgar Rice Burroughs began writing his first novel, “Under The Moons of Mars.” He wrote the story on the back of old business letterhead. The novel was purchased by All-Story magazine and published in six installments by All-Story from February through July in 1912. A. C. McClurg published the first edition of the book using the title, “A Princess of Mars,” on October 10, 1917 with a cover by Frank Schoonover and five interior illustrations. Modern Mechanics and Invention Magazine reprinted the story using a third title, “Carter of the Red Planet,” from April through July of 1929.
A copy of a check for $400.00 from Munsey Magazines is included with this article. It was the first payment for the story. I don't know who has the check.
Detailed information about the novel, dozens of illustrations, and the complete text of the story are located at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag4/0421.html
Some people have a gift for writing. The drabble for today is the first 100 words of chapter one of the novel. “A Princess of Mars,” the point in the book where John Carter begins to tell his story. I was fascinated by this passage when I first read the book over 60 years ago, and I still am.
"I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death."

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) is housed in the Palau Nacional, a Neo-Baroque palace. The museum building is located at the bottom of the local mountain of Barcelona, the Montjuïc.
The Palau was originally the Spanish Pavilion at the World Fair of 1929. After extensive renovation work it was reopened in 1997. Overall, the museum exhibits more than 260,000 works of art and is therefore the largest and most important museum in Barcelona.
A Catalan Museum Act, the museum MNAC was founded in 1990 by the merger of the Museu d'Art de Catalunya (Romance, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque) and the Museu d'Art Modern (Arts of the 19th and 20th century).
The world's largest collection of Roman frescoes fills most of the rooms of the MNAC. The Romanesque frescoes date from the vestibule of 29 major Romanesque churches in the Pyrenees. So they could be saved before being destroyed by the Spanish Civil War. The frescoes are in so-called "ambits'. These are small demarcated areas. In each ambit you can get information about the church, from which the frescoes are. In addition, the MNAC shows countless sacred objects.
The MNAC has the most important collection of Catalan art from the 19th Century and the first decades of the 20th Century. Several phases of art history changed in this time: neoclassicism, realism, modernism (Catalan Art Nouveau).
In addition to the Roman frescoes there's a department of Gothic frescoes and statues at MNAC, a smaller collection is devoted to works of the Baroque and the Renaissance.
The Numismático Gabinete de Cataluña (GNC) owns the most important public collection of coins, a total of 130,000 pieces from the 6th Century BC to date and about 7800 pieces are exhibited.

Honda Cars Philippines Inc has always been known for providing excellent after-sales service. Now, the Japanese automaker wants to up its game as it renews its partnership with the DualTech Training Center Foundation.
Since the two entities tied up in 1992, they have ventured into different training programs to improve the skills of Honda’s technical and after-sales personnel. This has allowed Honda to not only stay in the game but remain competitive as well.
Now, the renewed partnership aims to further improve this with skills such as Electromechanics that will help technical and after-sales personnel stay abreast with the latest technologies in the automotive field. Technologies such as electric vehicles and even driver assistance systems, which are now becoming standard fare on a lot of nameplates sold in the market.
The partnership will also allow Honda’s roster of dealerships to easily tap into the training center’s network of skilled talent to not only give them employment but a shot at a brighter future.
With this, we hope to see even better after-sales service from Honda as we move forward.

Microplastics are widely distributed in waters and sediments of rivers and lakes. Abstract Plastic contamination is an increasing environmental problem in marine systems where it has spread globally to even the most remote habitats. Early investigations of freshwater systems suggest microplastic presence and interactions are equally as far reaching as are being observed in marine systems.
Microplastics are being detected in freshwaters of Europe, North America, and Asia, and the first organismal studies are finding that freshwater fauna across a range of feeding guilds ingest microplastics.
Drawing from the marine literature and these initial freshwater studies, we review the issue of microplastics in freshwater systems to summarise current understanding, identify knowledge gaps and suggest future research priorities.
Evidence suggests that freshwater systems may share similarities to marine systems in the types of forces that transport microplastics e. These differences between marine and freshwater systems may lead to differences in the type of microplastics present.
For example, rivers may show a predictable pattern in microplastic characteristics size, shape, relative abundance based on waste sources e. Given that the study of microplastics in freshwaters has only arisen in the last few years, we are still limited in our understanding of 1 their presence and distribution in the environment; 2 their transport pathways and factors that affect distributions; 3 methods for their accurate detection and quantification; 4 the extent and relevance of their impacts on aquatic life.
We also do not know how microplastics might transfer from freshwater to terrestrial ecosystems, and we do not know if and how they may affect human health. This is concerning because human populations have a high dependency on freshwaters for drinking water and for food resources.
Increasing the level of understanding in these areas is essential if we are to develop appropriate policy and management tools to address this emerging issue.The human body is an unbeleiveable machine.

Gregorian Rock combines ancient with modern to create a serene, yet pummeling sound.
Bio, short version
Once upon a time, a friend of a friend invited me to play keyboards in his country band. I had no experience (classically trained) nor love of country music, but I agreed. They paid me to have fun.
I didn't even know that was possible. Every paying gig I'd had up to that point was low wage, low skill, manual labor.
It was then I knew music was my future.
While searching for a new sound, this idea came to me: combine ancient with modern to create a serene, yet pummeling sound. I take Gregorian chant-style vocals and support it with progressive rock energy/instrumentation, and presto, Gregorian Rock!
I play keyboards, electronic wind instrument, Chapman Stick, and sing. You will hear the influence of my classical background, with hints of Neal Morse, Iona, Frost, and 70s prog.
Bio, long version
My musical story can be told in four epiphanies.
The first occurred while I was in high school, and the jazz band played a piece in which I played two synthesizers at once. Afterward, my Dad told me that while he was watching this he wanted to stand up and say “That’s my boy!” Making our fathers proud is a deep-seated part of the human psyche. Looking back, I believe this moment had a bigger impact on me than I perceived at that time.
The next epiphany happened while I was at home between college semesters one summer. I was recruited to play piano in a country band. I didn’t know country music, didn’t like country music, but they paid me to have fun. I didn’t know that was even possible. Every other job I’d had up to that point was low-skill, low-wage, manual labor. I wondered how fun would it be to play music I liked…
Many years later, when I first got the idea for Gregorian Rock, the prospect of recording an album was daunting, to say the least. I couldn’t think of a way to make it happen. Then a friend of mine suggested running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds. In 2013 my first Kickstarter met it’s goal and the debut album of Gregorian Rock was produced! Amazing.
The fourth major event was when I got some validation from one of my musical heroes, Phil Keaggy (Grammy-nominated, legendary guitarist). He played on three of the songs on my third album, “FIRE”. It is a long and twisting story of how this happened, but I will summarize here by saying WOOHOO! Phil played some of my music and he really enjoyed it!
My fourth album, "Christmas", was released just before Christmas 2018. Phil plays on that one too.
Although keyboards are my main instruments, I also play a WX7 midi wind controller (an electronic wind instrument - EWI) and Chapman Stick.

This morning I chose another recipe from The Southern Cookie Book to try out, molasses-spice crinkle cookies. With a lot of trial and error between the batches, I finally found the right temperature and time for these cookies. My mistake was trying to use a cookie scoop instead of using my hands to roll the dough into 1 inch balls. My cookie scoop was giving me slightly larger cookies, which meant a guessing game between the temperature and time.
Note to self, don't use the cookie scoop when it calls for you to roll the dough!
This afternoon I made some Ceylon tea that my friend Amanda had brought back with her from Canada. It was a perfect pairing for the cookies. I sipped my tea while watching a gully washer outside.
Until next time >___<

Well, its over.
All the mock drafts, speculation and rumor are out the window now. The Ravens have been on the clock, theyve wheeled, dealed and made their picks, adding eight players for now, at least to their roster.
So how did they do? Well look at the various draft grades later (and contemplate the value of them at all), but for now, lets address what general manager Ozzie Newsome considered to be the teams biggest needs entering the offseason.
At the Ravens pre-draft news conference, Newsome was asked about the teams priorities heading into the draft.
We need to add some players on the offensive line, Newsome said. We can add another receiver. We still feel that we can add some depth at the pass-rush position or at SAM 'backer."
So did they address those needs?
Lets go through them one by one:
We need to add some players on the offensive line.
CHECK. The Ravens grabbed Iowa State lineman Kelechi Osemele with their second pick of the second round, and also picked up interior lineman Gino Gradkowski from Delaware in the fourth round. Osemele played left tackle with the Cyclones, but coach John Harbaugh said Osemele would also be a candidate at right tackle and left guard for the Ravens. Gradkowski , who spent two years at West Virginia before transferring to Delaware, can play both guard and center. The versatility of both players wasnt lost on Newsome.
Guys that have the flexibility on the offensive line are really, really valuable, he said.
We can add another receiver.
CHECK. Its unclear whether the Ravens narrowly lost out on other receivers Mohamed Sanu from Rutgers was taken by Cincinnati one pick before the Ravens picked in the third round but the Ravens did land Miami receiver Tommy Streeter in the sixth round. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect from Miami had just six catches in his first two seasons at Miami but then had 46 catches for 811 yards last season.
Tommy was the best player on our board, director of player personnel Eric DeCastro said. If you have a chance to get a guy like that and you are in the right position in the draft, its probably a good thing, and he was the guy. We hadnt addressed the position. There were some other guys that we liked at the receiver position that got taken, and he was clearly the best guy at the time for us to take.
We still feel that we can add some depth at the pass-rush position or at SAM 'backer.
CHECK. The Ravens clearly did this when they picked Alabamas Courtney Upshaw in the second round. Upshaw, viewed by many to be a first-round talent, was still available to the Ravens after they traded out of the first round. This led ESPNs Jamison Hensley to call the Upshaw pick among the biggest steals of the draft.
For now, it appears tro be mission accomplished for the Ravens. Of course, the real answer won't be known until the games begin in September.

Edited by A.R. Venkatachalapathy
Composed at the turn of the Common Era, the ancient poems translated from classical Tamil in Love Stands Alone are breathtaking in their directness, subtle in their nuances and astonishingly contemporary in tone. The poems fall under two broad themes: akam, the interior and puram, the exterior. The akam poems are concerned with love in all its varied situations: clandestine and illicit; conjugal happiness and infidelity; separation and union. The puram poems encompass all other aspects of worldly life. They talk of wars and battlefields, the valour of warriors, the munificence of kings and chieftains, and the wisdom of bards. These timeless, marvellous poems succeed in engaging today’s readers with their acute rendering of the secular life of an ancient people.Unlike earlier translations that have relied on medieval commentaries, M.L. Thangappa’s English translation is based on an original interpretation of the classics. This is the result of a lifetime’s immersion in teaching and translating classical Tamil poetry. The introduction by A.R. Venkatachalapathy situates classical Tamil poetry in its historical and cultural setting and evaluates its contribution to world literature
Passion and wisdom Telegraph
Sangam literature is a body of classical Tamil literature created between 600 BC and 300 AD, although the span and the exact dates have been debated for long. It has 2,381 poems by 473 poets, some 102 of whom remain anonymous. The poems were composed by Dravidian Tamil poets from various professions and classes. They were edited and tagged with colophons only around 1,000 AD, before being collected into eight anthologies called Ettuthokai. Sangam literature fell out of collective memory soon thereafter, until it was rediscovered in the 19th century by scholars like C. W. Thamotharampillai and U. V. Swaminatha Iyer.
The appellation, “Sangam”, which was a later invention and was probably derived from “sangha” in the Jain and Buddhist era, refers to assemblies of Tamil scholars and poets. Critics, however, point out that the first comprehensive account of the Sangam legend is found in a commentary to the Iraiyanar Akapporul by Nakkîrar in the seventh or eighth century. Nakkîrar describes three Sangams, the first held at “the Madurai which was submerged by the sea”. Legend has it that while the first Sangam included some Hindu gods such as Shiv, Kuber and Murugan, the second and the third included Pandya kings. Avvaiyar, Nakkeerar and Kapilar are three great names of Sangam poetry. Some scholars like Kamil Zvelebil say that these assemblies might have been founded and patronized by the Pandya kings. Although earlier Sangam poets were known to be Jains and later ones were presumably Vaishnavs or Shaivas, Sangam literature is absolutely secular.

Months ago, I heard Ruth Reichl had a new book coming out. I’ve read Garlic and Sapphires, Tender at the Bone, and Comfort Me with Apples in the last two years. I loved all three; she’s one of my favorite writers. I promptly added the new one — Not Becoming my Mother — to my library reserve list as a reminder. I forgot I’d done this until I got notice from the library system.
She’ll be coming to town for a Kim Rickett’s event on May 15. I’ll be getting a copy then but decided to go pick it up as soon as I could today. I might even be done later tonight.


Amritsar, December 11
The Counter Intelligence Wing of the Punjab Police have brought notorious gangsters Jagroshan Hundal and Saraj Sandhu on a production warrant from the Bathinda jail, in connection with the seizure of a huge cache of arms, ammunition and drug proceeds around a month ago.
Both have been associates of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, and already had a number of criminal cases registered against them for murder, attempt to murder, drug peddling and robbery. They were produced before the duty magistrate who sent them to four days of police custody for interrogation.
They were reportedly taken to the joint interrogation cell for questioning. The police are currently ascertaining their role in the cross-border smuggling of weapons and contraband. Earlier on October 5, the counter intelligence had nabbed Jaskaran Singh and Rattanbir Singh with 10 foreign-made pistols. Their interrogation led to the arrest of Surinder Singh, Harchand Singh and Gursahib Singh.
The police have seized Rs 1.01 crore, 500 grams of heroin, 17 pistols, etc.
Investigations have revealed that Surinder had picked up the consignment of arms through drones. The police arrested Surinder, and seized 10 pistols with six magazines and 100 live cartridges.
The interrogation of Surinder led the police to Harchand and Gursahib. Their arrest resulted in the seizure of the remaining part of the consignment — seven pistols, an MP-4 rifle and 500 grams of heroin, Rs 1.01 crore in cash, weighing machines and currency-counting machines.
Jaskaran was in touch with Pakistan-based smuggler Arif, who used to deliver consignments of narcotics, arms and ammunition from Pakistan. And Rattanbir used to retrieve the consignments.

question of the day: Which entertainment figure from before the advent of photography would you like to see a photo of?
A new photo of poet Emily Dickinson has been discovered — maybe. There’s some debate over whether it actually is her, apparently, but if it is… From The Book Haven:
If the daguerreotype is eventually accepted as Dickinson, it will change our idea of her, providing a view of the poet as a mature woman showing striking presence, strength, and serenity. She (whoever she is) seems to be the one in charge here, the one who decided that on a certain day in a certain year, she and her friend would have their likenesses preserved. In fact, even if this photograph is not of Dickinson and Turner, it has still been of use in forcing us to imagine Dickinson as an adult, past the age of the ethereal-looking 16-year-old we have known for so many years.
(Link via @filmdrblog.)
Can a photo, a simple portrait, change our idea about someone like Dickinson very dramatically? Not much is known about her life beyond the work that she left us, so it seems to me as if one image cannot add anything significant to that.
Which entertainment figure from before the advent of photography would you like to see a photo of? Would it change our ideas about him or her?

I was bored and decided to do this. I have various controller profiles and wish to automatically load the correct one when launching the game. Also do you think there's a way to get these into Steam? Also would probably want to extract the meta. Part 1: Setting up Cemu Setup Cemu like you would any other emulator by adding it to Launchbox using the Manage Emulators window and assign it to the Nintendo Wii U platform. I'm gonna try to do this on monday.
About us Digiex is a technology and gaming forum, founded in 2004 by InsaneNutter and Nimrod. Hi korreckj328, I have found a solution, but not so academic. If you guys want to replicate my issue switch those two and I bet it throws a fit like it did for me. If you for whatever reason ripped your wii u games as wud, basically an iso, then yes you will need to put the keys in the keys. These can be in a single. Hint: Type the common key and the key for your game in it. Graphic Packs can drastically increase your game quality, and often have little to no impact on performance.
I've only change the extension. The SaveDir is basically the result of the Hash algorithm run over the game's launch file. Here is my cemu folder exact location. Unfortunately I could not find any logging in Launchbox to see what that was. .
Finally I went back into edit emulator and went into Associated Platforms. Have a question about this project? I have dumped Mario Kart using wudump apparently. So before you do this, make sure to make a backup of your original default shaderCache in your. Thank you for your help and patience. You could try using the startup screens to hide it, but all games take a different length of time to build the shader cache, so you will never get it correct.
How do I transfer my saves? While personally I don't think that Cemu is ready yet for day to day use by most people I do think it is certainly progressed enough to start compiling some settings and tips to getting it set up in Launchbox.

Around the world, Aung San Suu Kyi is seen as the symbol of the fight for freedom in Myanmar. But inside the country, she shares the spotlight with her father, who won independence from Britain but was felled by an assassin.
The World's Clark Boyd reports on governments that have found various ways to block citizens' access to internet sites; this web filtering is described in a new book, "Access Denied: The Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering".
Dozens of people have been killed in a month of violent clashes between Rohingya Muslims and Burmese Buddhists. Thousands more have fled their homes, seeking refuge in nearby towns and neighboring countries.
Myanmar continues to reintegrate with the rest of the world, gradually opening up and loosening restrictions on its residents. But over its years of isolations, many thousands fled. Now, though, they're not rushing to return, unsure what future awaits them.


My fathers hard drive recently fried. It was IDE and I replaced it with ATA (which i doubt is the result of the problem).

This year Boise went undefeated(12-0) and is playing in the Poinsettia Bowl. Ohio State went 10-2 and made it into the Fiesta Bowl. Did the BCS make a mistake by putting in Ohio State rather than Boise?
Boise is better.
Ohio State always gets better than they deserve because they are the largest college in America, and they are one of the 4 media darling teams along with USC, Notre Dame, and Michigan.
It’s not just about money, it’s about past BCS history. Ok, great Boise State played a great game against Oklahoma 2 years ago. But if you want to include history, you cannot ignore the fact that Ohio State has 4 BCS victories as well.
Also, the way the rules are setup, the BCS is trying to avoid giving out 2 bids to non-BCS conferences and I don’t see the problem with that. Utah earned an automatic bid by being ranked 6th in the BCS standings. So it’s just not feasible to give a 2nd bid to a non-BCS conference team unless there’s no other BCS team eligible.
People are on here saying Boise State is better than OSU simply by looking at their record but what has Boise State done this year that shows they’re a more talented, better coached team than the Buckeyes. Nothing shows it and that’s why OSU gets the Fiesta Bowl ticket.
Actually, the BCS didn’t choose Ohio State, the Fiesta bowl did. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s the greedy Fiesta bowl representatives. The BCS actually has Boise State ranked higher, But the fiesta bowl doesn’t remember who gave them the greatest Bowl game ever! That’s what I don’t get. does anyone remember the last fiesta bowl? yeah, West Virginia beat Oklahoma. But everybody remembers the Boise State Fiesta Bowl more than any other. So, we’ll just have to see Ohio state get killed by a Texas team that should have gone to the BCS championship game…
Ohio State would dismantle an unproven Boise State team who plays crap teams like Idaho and Wyoming every season. Are you serious?? Ohio State lost 2 games to Top 10 ranked opponents, and their loss to USC was without their star offensive player (Beanie Wells), making them a one-dimensional team. Be serious, Boise State wouldn’t stand a chance against OSU. I’d like OSU to schedule Boise State in the future though, just to see what happens. Texas plaing boise state would be a joke…the buckeyes have a great defense and it will be a good game….they also played 6 ranked teams…two of which were in the top 10 and one was top 5 ….hows about boise state a #17 oregon is the hardest team they’ve played this year and a win by 5 points …get real

Be serious, Boise State wouldn’t stand a chance against OSU. I’d like OSU to schedule Boise State in the future though, just to see what happens.
If Boise State wants to get into a BCS game on a more regular basis they need to get into a conference that has an automatic berth. Those conferences, for better or worse, are considered to be stronger and thus have preference when it comes to BCS bids. There is only one way for them to get a guaranteed bid now and they did not qualify thanks to Utah.
This is just like the UT/OU sitiation, they know the rules and signed on to them.
TT ineligible by rule. Boise may be ineligible by a one non-BCS conf team rule also. Remember they tried to sign with Ball State to play in the Humanitarian Bowl before the season was even over. If Boise is eligible, refer to Boise schedule linked below. Ball State schedule makes the Boise schedule look rugged.
Boise is undef. OSU is undefeated against teams ranked lower than #3 at game time.
If you think OSU played a weak schedule, check out Boise’shttp://www.broncosports.com/SportSelect.…
Boise state didnt play anyone known thats why. Id make a question and give 10 pts for thes 1st person to tell me the name of the teams thay played this year lol.
When Boise state schduels better confrences/teams ex. big 10, pac 10, and hey maybe even the big 12 thats when we find out if they deserve to be in a better bowl game.
The only goal of the BCS is to get #1 and #2 to play each other for the national championship. After that it’s all about money, and to an extent reputation of teams.
I don’t know if Ohio State is better than Boise State, I haven’t watched either one of them play this year.
The first guy is right. The BCS isn’t about who the best team is, it’s about how much $ can it’s Bowl games make.
I truly believe that Boise State would beat Ohio this season. But the idiots at the BCS only want to look at past accomplishments, fan base, and predicted revenue.
F*ck the BCS
First of all Ohio State is better than Boise State and if the BCS was about the money then why would they take those top teams every year and put them in BCS bowl games no matter what. I don’t like the BCS in more than the next person but we are comparing Ohio State to Boise State.
OSU is scurrred! I would loved to have seen these bowl games.
OSU vs. Boise St.
Alabama vs. Texas
Utah vs. Ok St.
I’d say it is because Ohio State has more fans, and they are energetic, as this funny video shows:http://www.bofads.com/stories/monkeyohio…
Ohio State has the bigger fan base so they choose the more appealing team rather then go with Boise State it all comes down to TV ratings and money
It’s all about the money.
Ohio State will get more ratings and that will equal more dollars.
boise state should be playing the texas longhorns the bcs is a joke
