Urban Meyer’s $4 Million Dollar a year as Ohio States new Head Coach was announced yesterday came with a lot of controversy. Ohio State had an operating budget of $18.2 Million in 2010, which is expected to shrink by 5.9% because they played in one less home game during the 6-6 season marked by Jim Tressel’s resignation and the scandal involving some of the Buckeyes top players.
Meyer’s salary has caused an uproar about the role sports plays in Universities. Meyer’s salary triples the salary of the school’s president Gordon Gee. This is the nature of the market in college sports today. Think about it, if Ohio State pays Meyer $4 Million a year and he generates $6 Million, he will have made the school $2 Million more dollars than they initially invested. Revenue that the school could use.
Urban Meyer coached Florida to a 65-15 record and won two National titles before he stepped down for health reasons in 2010. The 47 year old Meyer has a record of 104 wins and 23 losses over 10 years with Florida, the University of Utah, and Bowling Green. Meyer led the Gators to win a championship game against the Buckeyes in 2006. Gene Smith the Ohio State Athletic director said in a news conference yesterday “We wanted a football coach who can attract some of the best home state players to Columbus, who would create an environment here with the aspiration for every single football player in the state of Ohio to become a Buckeye and to come to the Ohio State University and have no other thought”.
Meyer who is a native of Ashtabula,Ohio, went to the University of Cincinnati signed a deal that is expected to pay him $4 Million a year with bonuses. This may be just what the doctor ordered for Ohio State to get back on track after Tressel gate.
108th Annual Michigan vs. Ohio State Game on November 26, 2011
108th Annual Michigan vs. Ohio State Game on November 26, 2011
The much anticipated 108th Michigan vs. Ohio State face off is coming up this Saturday, at the Big House! This game is going to be insane! After we feast and fill our stomachs to capacity this Thursday, some of us will gear up to stand in line to get in on the Black Friday Madness. Others will choose to wait for online deals on Cyber Monday, but no matter if you’re a Michigan fan or an Ohio State fan one thing is for sure on Saturday it’s all about the big game. One thing I think is awesome about this rivalry is that both Universities for the past thirty years have held blood drives for the Red Cross in the annual Blood Battle. Students and faculty get involved by donating blood. Last year about 5,000 units of blood were collected between the rivaling Universities, this year it is expected to be more. This means that 15,000 potential lives were saved because of the compassion of the human heart. Pretty Amazing!
This isn’t limited to Wolverine and Buckeye fans. Anyone can donate anytime. Why give blood? Someone needs blood every two seconds! Just one pint of blood can save three lives. Blood can not be manufactured or harvested. It can only come from you. Think about it…. It takes 1 hour of your time. You can give someone another laugh, another hug, and most importantly, another chance! I was inspired to share this when I stumbled upon Angie’s Story and other stories of how blood donations saved people’s lives. So, whether you bleed Maize & Blue or Scarlet and Gray, you can be a hero today!
After you make your special donation (if you haven’t already done so) you will need to go get snacks for the game. The best place to go? Kmart! That’s right. I can run in grab my snacks, pick up my beverages, and even grab some Big Ten Apparel so I’m already for the game. Then I can grab all my cleaning supplies, along with some stocking stuffers just to get that out of the way while I’m out. I am watching the game on my new Toshiba 46” 1080p LCD TV which I got a deal on for $799. I will still do some recon to see what Black Friday deals to anticipate. Kmart is your one stop, shop, and save for all of your holiday and game day needs. That’s not just smart, that’s Kmart smart!
Get out and donate (even if you could care less about the game.) Whose life will you save? Check out the Red Cross for more information on when and where you can make a difference!

Kindle Fire Review
Voila!These 7-inch tablets are now legitimate, thanks to Amazon.
The Amazon Kindle the fire is a significant achievement, in the tablet market,it is an important device for three reasons.
As a reading device which its excellent, going above and beyond the call of duty.
It design,a 7-inch tablet with a tablet form factor as a viable and functional.
Given the low price, it is almost certain that it alone could revive the Android ecosystem by injecting millions of users in the market.
This third point is important. Increasing the flow of dollars in the App developers have a huge boost for the Android platform, however, clearly uses the Amazon.
The fire is not perfect, however. It's a bit annoying compared to a standard Kindle and other seven-inch tablet, and the lack of articulation of Android 2.3 will frustrate some users. But when viewed as a pure media consumption and of the commercial is great. This could finally be the perfect counterpoint for the iPad, we waited. And we, I believe that all consumers, developers, Android, Google. And, of course. Amazon many dollars will flow due to this device.
Effects of Fire's on display screen is impressive at startup. A 1024x600 resolution seems appropriate for a 7-inch screen and 169 pixels per inch, it seems more lively than most tablets for watching movies or playing games, or even reading. (An iPad 2, in comparison, only has 132 pixels per inch, but has a higher resolution).
The real victory is the brightness of the screen. At the highest setting, you can read the screen in direct sunlight. A natural sepia tint in Kindle reader makes reading books a little easier compared to the harsh glare of white tablets.
The downside of this glory, unfortunately, is that even at minimum brightness, the fire seems to be too bright. To some extent this is subjective, but when reading at night without lights in a room (not granted, the most environmentally healthy eyes), take some time to adjust the brightness.
A lively (but limited) interface
While Amazon has been criticized for creating an environment that contains a custom Android, the decision to use the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) as the basis for the fire protection system was clearly in the right direction. Navigating through the screens and the pages and categories, and applications experience is snappy. Too often, this is not the case with Android 3.x Honeycomb tablets . The only slowdown I experienced was the occasional stuttering move my media library back to the main screen.
The other facet of this personalized Android os rendering which is hard to criticize is the screen itself. The wide-open Android os pc does not are available here. In its place, is a very simple and classy looking auto technician. The website shows designs for all of your guides, publications, papers, sites, and more in the date order you have used them. In landscape designs view, this and the top level nav (Search, Newsstand, Books, Audio, Video, Papers, Programs, Web) are all there for you to see. In symbol method, you also see a quick-launch “Favorites” bar that is one of the only custom-made components of the screen.The screen makes it clear that for Amazon, the Ereader Fireplace is a genuine press usage play vs. a productiveness one. Nothing wrong with that. In some ways, this understanding of purpose helps the Ereader Fireplace. Developing an screen for usage is far easier than making a common screen. With this in mind, Amazon has designed different press classes (detailed above), and has placed every distinct app into a distinct class.
If you have already obtained movies or music or magazine/newspaper subscribers through Amazon, or sent papers to your Ereader account, this press will all be awaiting you in the appropriate area.
The Ereader Fireplace comes incorporated with a few programs, such as Blockbuster online, QuickOffice (the primary readers edition, not the editable pro version), and the Heart announcement readers, which is also located in the forefront in the Faves bar. Numerous activities are available through Amazon's amazing app store. Sensible to the coming increase of buyers, many game and app designers are already cutting their prices in order to increase to the top of the graphs.
One of the Kindle’s best features has always been its capability to immediately connect your selection and your position in guides between products. This still prevails, and will work as excellent as it ever did. Also, the procedure of purchasing and examining guides is as easy as it could be. The competition have poked slots at Amazon’s locked-down, amazing eBook structure, but between the significant selection and the capability to accessibility these eBooks on many products, this will be an unnecessary real-world worry for most individuals.For many Amazon member this feels like a steal at $199 but if you’re not and already own an iPad or some other tablet, it’s still worth considering.
