With drastically different House and Senate versions of what was once the same antievolution bill in the Florida state legislature, it remains uncertain whether antievolution forces will be able to devise a compromise bill to be sent to the governor before the legislature adjourns on May 2, 2008 -- especially with a host of other issues crowding the legislative calendar.
At its April 24, 2008, meeting, the Texas Higher Education Coordination Board unanimously voted to deny the Institute for Creation Research's request for a state certificate of authority to offer a master's degree in science education through its graduate school, recently relocated to Texas, as the Houston Chronicle (April 24, 2008) reported [Link broken].

Bébé Gourmet by Jenny Carenco
I'm pretty sure that all of us "foodies" who either have children or have entertained the idea of having children probably share a similar daydream: raising a happy and adventurous eater on healthy, wholesome foods we prepare ourselves. Although I don't have kids myself, I suspect that the leap from daydream to reality is probably more difficult than I can anticipate. If and when it comes time to take that leap, you can bet that this charming book Bébé Gourmet is going to be tucked under my arm.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Jenny Carenco
• Who published it: The Experiment
• Number of recipes: Around 100
• Recipes for right now: Peach Compote, Green Bean Puree, Potato and Corn Puree, Salmon with Spinach, Fine Semolina with Thyme, Risotto with Crushed Tomatoes and Carrots, Pasta Shapes with Soft Cheese and Basil, Chicken and Vegetables in Coconut Milk, Cheesy Corn and Carrot Galettes
• Other highlights: This book starts with recipes to feed your baby at 4 months — the age at which babies can easily digest solid foods — and continues all the way up through their first birthday. In food terms, this means we start with easy vegetable purees and fruit compotes, move into mashed and blended "grown-up" foods, and finally graduate to real foods.
These are easy, doable recipes — though I'm sure the mashes and purees look a lot more lovely in these adorable French dishes than they would on my table! At every stage, Jenny Carenco offers advice on introducing new foods, tempting reluctant eaters, and introducing bits of flair into otherwise simple meals, like a few leaves of basil in a puree or a pinch of cinnamon in a smoothie. Carenco also brings in Dr. Jean Lalau Keraly to give nutritional advice and provide explanations for each developmental step.
I feel like the biggest message I take from this book is that feeding your child should be a shared experience and fun for both of you. Lots of experimentation is required as those tastebuds develop — what a baby hates one day, she may like the next (and vice versa). In this book, Jenny Carenco takes away much of the worry and anxiety we may feel about cooking for wee ones, and replaces it with the eager anticipation over what baby food to try next.

Mighty Mini Diggers
I am the owner-operator of a new business specialising in small space earthmoving in Victoria, Australia. My machines are miniature diggers (1 metre wide) that fit into spaces that big machines can't go.
They include:
- a mini front end loader (scoop)
- mini excavator
- posthole digger
- rotary hoe.
Mighty mini diggers aims to convey a superhero persona - and give the impression that you are getting a big digger for a little digger price. We are faster than the speed of lightening, strong than a locamotive and able to dig big holes in a single day.
*Big excavation companies - a lot of work will come from referrals from big companies that can't or don't want to take on smaller jobs.
*Builders, plumbers, other small businesses.
*Home gardiners.
*Local councils.
The audience is generally male, blue collar, hard working, friendly, easy-going, looking for good value (nothing too fancy), although female home gardeners also use my services so we don't want to put them off.
I am looking for a logo to represent my business - Mighty Mini Diggers.
I would like the logo to incorporate a cartoon of a front end loader.
The front end loader cartoon needs to:
- look like a superhero
- have a face (or eyes) and arms with muscles
- be friendly, not menancing
- be simple enough that it will reproduce well in small areas such as on a business card
- have enough personality that it can represent my busines
- have tracks, not wheels
Here are some good pictures of front end loaders. My loader is like the first small one and has tracks (not wheels).
Here are a couple of cartoons that you can use as thought starters:
You can also check out some of my competitors here:
My preferred colour is green - lime green is my favourite, then deep green.
The logo will be used on business cards, my website (to be developed),
t-shirts, hats, car decals, stickers and on-the-job signage.
We need two versions of the logo (one for printing on white and one for printing on black) in various file formats including a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .eps (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

One of those wrapping up the decade kind of lists. Not Best Movies or Best Albums or any of those ubiquitous lists that are done better and more thoroughly by Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone. No, at first I thought I'd maybe do a funny, kind of irreverent list, like my Jersey Shore/Christmas Gift post (Celebrities of the Aughts Who Most Resemble Potatoes? ...ahem, Mickey Rourke... Top Ten Now-Deceased Paris Hilton Pets?). Then I thought maybe I should do something relevant to the blog: Curmudgeons of the Decade! But that didn't really inspire me; it would've ended up just being a list of assholes ranging from the despicable (Dick Cheney) to the lovable (Barney Frank) to the sociopathic (Dr. House).
I was telling this to Jeff, reclining after a rib-sticking supper of potato leek soup, when he suggested I scrap the list idea. "Write about your decade," he said. "Your twenties." It was so obvious but so perfect. Of course. My twenties.
I was born in 1980, which means that the decades of my life are neatly packaged within actual decades. My childhood was the entirety of the 80s; my pre-teen and teenage years began and ended with the 90s. I turned 20 in April of the year 2000, and in fewer than four months I will turn 30. So my twenties and the 00s or the aughts or whatever these past ten years have been (this week's New Yorker has a fun little summation) perfectly parallel. This calls for some motherfucking reflection! Warning: this may be a pretty long post.
Before I get to my twenties I feel I should revisit the night, ten years ago today, when I watched the clock tick down to Y2K. Even writing Y2K is so 90s. It makes me think of people stockpiling flashlights and worrying that their giant iMacs would explode at midnight. But we did think that, didn't we? I spent New Year's Eve of 1999 at the upstate New York home of my friend Charlie's parents. They weren't there, and Charlie, our friend Greg and I had the house to ourselves. It was just the three of us, in a retirement community in Wappinger's Falls, with two spastic dogs, some crappy booze, and a bag of weed. It felt, fittingly, sort of post-apocalyptic.
We got stoned and just sort of sat around the living room, if I remember correctly, until about ten minutes to midnight when the paranoia kicked in. "Dude," Greg mused from his prone position on the floor. "What if the world does end?" Note to my future children: If there is even the slightest chance of the world ending in fire and brimstone, you do not want to be high for the countdown. It will freak you the fuck out, and while other people are blowing into noisemakers and popping champagne you will be frantically attempting to stuff yourself into a cabinet under the kitchen sink, which takes flexibility and dexterity under any circumstance but especially when carrying a plastic handle of vodka.
Luckily, the world did not end. Those flashlights and bomb shelters went unused, and everybody's giant iMacs still worked on January 1, 2000. I have no recollection of New Year's Day, as I assume I was rather massively hungover.
To recap my twenties, I'm going to start at the end, i.e. now. Back in September I was asked by a wonderful upstart theater company called Effable Arts to write a letter to twentysomethings that would be read aloud as a performance piece. I was supposed to channel all of my hard-earned wisdom into one page of writing. Here is what I submitted:
When I was 22, a 28 year-old friend of mine sat me down and gave it to me straight. "The next four to five years are going to suck," she said. "But then it gets awesome." I smiled and nodded and truly believed that life would not suck for me, because I was starry-eyed and ambitious and different, and she was fucking old anyway, so what did she know? She was right, of course. Being 22 through 27 just kind of blows. It's not a constant state of blowing, though—it's like a fine wine; the blow ripens over time until you get a nice, full-bodied suck. Here are ten tips to making it to the finish line without losing faith, prostituting yourself, or projectile vomiting:
1. If you are a woman living with a group of men, do not believe them when they say that one of the house rules is "If one roommate takes their shirt off, everyone has to."
2. Don't worry about saving money right now. If you can pay your rent and feed yourself, you are fine. Suze Orman can go fuck herself and you can tell her I said so.
3. Your liver is too good for any liquor that comes in a plastic bottle.
4. If any of your friends have a lot of money, whether from a trust fund or a high-paying job, avoid them for the duration of this decade. Otherwise you will find yourself making $25,000 a year and eating cereal for dinner and hating their guts for inviting you to their birthday party at a bottle-service-only club that necessitates both an outfit and a cab you can't afford.
5. You haven't lived very long and you don't know very much. That's not an insult; it's the truth. Remember it, and it will take you far.
6. This makes me sound super old (which I am—right when your twenties stop sucking you get to a new stage which should be called Oh Christ I Am So Ancient That Naturalizer Shoes are Looking Kind of Comfortable and I Don't Recognize Anyone on the Cover of Us Weekly Anymore. But I digress.) Anyway, at the risk of sounding like the Crypt Keeper, any photos of you drinking, smoking pot, or posing provocatively in your underwear do not belong on the Internet. Under any circumstances. (Obviously, mentions of you doing the above on your ridiculously oversharing blog are fine provided that you stress that these brief episodes of poor judgment are firmly in the past.)
7. We live in a society obsessed with youth, so it will seem like all you hear about on the news is some wunderkind who has hit it big at 23. Try to remember that these people are freaks of nature. Finding fantastic success in your twenties is highly unlikely. Colonel Sanders didn't start KFC until he was in his sixties! Doesn't that make you feel better?
8. Forgive yourself often. This is the decade for fuck-ups of all varieties. And they can pay off: I got fired from a job when I was 25 and working in documentary film, which is what I thought I wanted to do since that's what I majored in (and addendum to this tip is that your college major has absolutely no relation to anything, unless it was in something like neuroscience). If I hadn't lost that job, who knows if or when I would have started writing.
9. Do something you love doing, even if you do it after work and on weekends for no pay. It will sustain you through the shitty cubicle and/or table-waiting years.
10. Watch Reality Bites. A lot. No better twentysomething angst movie exists. But resist the urge to get your hair cut in a shag pixie like Winona's—that doesn't work on everyone. Trust me, I have pictures.
Obviously I do not have it all figured out as I write this. I'm sure that if you are over thirty (and certainly if you're over 40) you are shaking your head and kind of wanting to throttle me and cackling "Just you wait, princess. After the next ten years you will be begging for a Winona shag and some Dubra vodka. Begging." But I will say that I cannot imagine having another decade as schizophrenic as my twenties. Unless you have a particularly rough childhood, your twenties are your birth into the real world, by which I mean a world that doesn't involve trading "points" for meals or having a third party pay for your cell phone. They are painful and joyful, exciting and despondent, infantile and terribly grown up-seeming, drunken and sobering. Since writing about all of the formative experiences I had from 2000-2009 would make this insanely long missive even insanely longer, I'll summarize them in the list form I swore at the beginning of this post I would shun. Dammit.
Formative experiences, 2000-20009
In general, but not exactly chronological, order

Early life and prenatal exposure to nitrogen dioxide and air pollutants generated by traffic was associated with autism, researchers found.
Children with autism were more likely to live in homes in the highest quartile of exposure to traffic-related air pollution during gestation (adjusted odds ratio 1.98, 95% CI 1.20 to 3.31) and during the first year of life (aOR 3.10, 95% CI 1.76 to 5.57), compared with control children, reported Heather Volk, PhD, MPH, of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and colleagues.
Regional exposure measures of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter less than 2.5 μm and 10 μm in diameter were also associated with autism during gestation, they wrote online in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
The authors noted that the associations were strongest "during late gestation and early life, although it was not possible to adequately distinguish a period critical to exposure," and that infants with autism "were three times as likely to have been exposed during the first year of life to higher modeled traffic-related air pollution."
However, they cautioned that further study of likely biological pathways was necessary to determine causality.
They analyzed relationships between traffic-related air pollution, air quality, and autism through a case-control study of 279 children with autism and a 245-child control group with typical development.
Participants were 24 to 60 months old at baseline, were born in California, and were enrolled in the CHARGE study (Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment). They were also "frequently matched" by sex, age, and geographic region.
The study sample was mostly male (84%) and white (50%), and there was no difference between cases and controls in demographic, socioeconomic, or lifestyle variables.
To measure for air quality and pollutants, mothers' addresses from birth certificates and residential history questionnaires were used to estimate trimester-based and first year pollution exposures, which were based on regional data from the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System.
The authors included exposures to nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 μm and 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter when measuring associations between autism and environment. They also noted that prior research had found associations between parental and early-life exposure to high levels of air pollutants with poor birth outcomes, immunologic changes, and decreased cognitive abilities.
Among pollutants, only particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposure were significantly tied to risk of autism, while there was no association seen between autism risk and ozone exposure.
Nitrogen dioxide exposure during the child's first year was associated with a greater risk of autism (aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.37 to 3.09), and was associated with an increased risk throughout pregnancy (aOR 1.81, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.65).
The risk also was higher during the second (aOR 1.62, 95% CI 1.17 to 2.25) and third (aOR 1.64, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.29) trimesters. First trimester exposure was associated with a nearly 50% increased risk of autism (aOR 1.47, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.20).
Particulate matter less than 2.5 μm was associated with greater than two-fold risks of autism during the child's first year (aOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.45 to 3.10) and throughout pregnancy (aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.93 to 2.25). The second (aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.40 to 1.57) and third trimesters (aOR 1.40, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.77) were significantly associated with risk of autism. However, there was no association between third trimester exposure and autism.
Particulate matter less than 10 μm had a significant association with risk of autism during the first year (aOR 2.14, 95% CI 1.46 to 3.12), throughout pregnancy (aOR 2.17, 95% CI 1.49 to 3.16), and during the first (aOR 1.44, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.96), second (aOR 1.83, 95% CI 1.35 to 2.47), and third trimesters (aOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.14).
Volk and co-authors noted that variation between local and regional levels of air pollution could inform follow-up studies to "understand both individual pollutant contributions and the effects of pollutant mixtures on disease," as well as establishing the biological pathways involved in the association between pollution and autism.
The authors noted that their study may be limited by unmeasured confounders, lack of measurement of trimester-specific effects, and lack of generalizability of the study population.
In an accompanying editorial, Geraldine Dawson, PhD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, pointed out that in recent years, the "upsurge of [autism] research parallels a dramatic increase in autism prevalence," adding that in the last 6 years, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder has increased 78% and the estimated annual cost of autism has more than tripled.
The findings from Volk's study highlight "the need for more research on prenatal and early postnatal brain development in autism, with a focus on how genes and environmental risk factors combine to increase risk for autism spectrum disorders," she said.
The study was funded by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Volk reported receiving speaker support from Autism Speaks.
Two co-authors are employees of Sonoma Technology.
Another co-author received support from a legal settlement between the South Coast Air Quality Management District and British Petroleum.

ATLANTA, May 7 (UPI) -- The soaring cost of medical care from 1987 to 2009 was caused mostly by a higher proportion of people being treated for disease, U.S. researchers say.
Kenneth E. Thorpe, chairman of the Department of Health Policy and Management at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta, and colleagues analyzed data from the National Medical Expenditure Survey and the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys from 1987-2009.
The researchers analyzed treated disease prevalence, spending per treated case, obesity and increased treatment intensity played in the increase in healthcare spending.
The examined surveys included detailed information on self-reported medical conditions, monthly markers of health insurance coverage, patients' demographic characteristics, spending, respondent data, medical information and use of service.
The study, published in Health Affairs, found 51 percent of the rise in healthcare spending among U.S. adults was associated with rising rates of treated disease prevalence -- 77 percent in the case of Medicare spending, while 39 percent of that rise was associated with higher spending per treated case.
The doubling of obesity since 1987 contributed to 10.4 percent of the overall rise in spending.
"The current findings strongly suggest that most of the recent discussion about ways to control increases in spending, particularly among Medicare beneficiaries, may be focused on the wrong set of issues," Thorpe said.

Veteran character actor James Rebhorn, known for his roles in "Homeland," "White Collar" and dozens of TV shows and films over a five-decade career, has died of melanoma, his wife, Rebecca Linn, said Sunday. Rebhorn died Friday at his home in South Orange, N.J., at the age of 65.
Able to perform in comedies or dramas, as well as on stage, TV or film, the Philadelphia native racked up an impressive list of credits, including playing the father of Claire Danes' character on "Homeland."
His film roles included such titles as "Silkwood," "Shadows and Fog," "Basic Instinct," "My Cousin Vinny," "Scent of a Woman," "Carlito's Way," "Independence Day," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "The Game," "Far From Heaven" and "Cold Mountain." Recent film appearances included "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," "Sleepwalk With Me," "Real Steel" and "The Box."

On television, Rebhorn appeared on shows including "Enlightened," "The Good Wife," "30 Rock," "Wiseguy," "The Equalizer," "Spenser: For Hire," "Kate & Allie" and "Guiding Light." He appeared in the series finale of "Seinfeld."
Rebhorn largely epitomized the "that guy" brand of character actor, the kind whom audiences recognize by face and voice, if perhaps not by name. On Twitter, actor Tom Arnold said, "you didn't know him but trust me, you knew him." Comedian Patton Oswalt posted "On behalf of all film buffs, we took for granted you'd always be there & be great, 'cause you always were."

88 wooden keys with Ivory Touch key surfaces and RM3 Grand action with Let-off for more realistic playing.
Evolution, not revolution: that's the concept behind the new MP10 Professional Stage Piano. Kawai took its predecessor's great interface and compact form, updated the keyboard action and sound technology, then added a host of modern new features to sweeten the deal. The result is a flexible stage piano that's ideal for gigging, with a solid, reliable action and an impressive selection of sounds.
The MP10 features brand new acoustic and electric pianos that underscore a host of tonal improvements throughout the entire sound list. In addition to various sampled organ sounds, the MP10 now includes a tonewheel organ simulator, allowing you to dial-in your favorite drawbar positions, then switch on the new amp simulation and rotary speaker effects for that authentic vintage organ growl.
Whether you're in the studio or out on the road, the MP10 is more than capable of meeting the master keyboard needs of a professional stage performer. Split the entire keyboard into four independent zones, then assign each one to play internal sounds, trigger external MIDI devices, or control both simultaneously. Adjust the levels and parameters for all four zones using realtime knobs and faders. Then, once you've found the perfect mix for each song, store the entire panel setup to one of the 256 internal memories (or a USB stick) and you're ready for the gig.
So often stage pianos are let down by poorly designed keyboard actions prone to break downs. Not the MP10. Its Responsive Hammer action delivers a stunningly realistic piano playing experience, but it's also built to last. Structural reinforcements make RH the strongest, most rigid plastic action Kawai has ever developed, ensuring keys don't wobble around from side to side or crack under pressure when you're laying down the big chords. And, its Ivory Touch surface featured on this action as well, you can be confident that your fingers will remain firmly on the keys throughout even the most blistering runs.
MP acoustic piano sounds: the Kawai EX concert grand piano
The Kawai EX concert grand piano is widely regarded by many professional pianists and piano technicians as one of the finest instrument of its class. Hand-built by Kawai's distinguished Master Piano Artisans at the Shigeru Kawai Piano Research Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, each EX instrument undergoes a lengthy, meticulous process of regulation and refinement within a specially designed anechoic chamber. The completed EX piano then receives a final series of rigorous quality inspections before eventually taking its place in some of the world's most prestigious musical institutions and concert halls, and now your home.
The beautiful sound of the EX grand piano is at the heart of the new MP10, with all eighty-eight keys of this world-class instrument painstakingly recorded, analyzed, and reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms.
Recording each key individually in this way"as opposed to stretching the same tone over several different notes"ensures that the rich, harmonic character of the original EX grand piano is preserved, and guarantees that the sound heard when playing one of the MP10's keys is a faithful representation of the acoustic source.
When playing the MP10, the amount of pressure applied to the keyboard affects both the volume of the sound produced and the unique tonal character of each note. In order to gather a realistic acoustic portrait of the EX grand piano, not only is each key recorded individually, but also captured at various different strengths ranging from gentle pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo. The new MP10 offers a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the dynamic range.
MP keyboard actions: inspired by eight decades of acoustic piano excellence
Embracing many of the long-established principles associated with an acoustic piano, the MP10's RM3 Grand keyboard action combines realistic materials, motion, and mechanism to recreate the exceptional touch of the world's finest concert grand pianos.
All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood which pivots smoothly on a central balance pin to replicate the familiar "seesaw" motion of an acoustic piano action. When pressed, the back of each key triggers a grade-weighted hammer to play the note while additional counter-weights are also placed at the front of the bass keys, helping to lighten their heavier touch during pianissimo passages.
It is equipped with a finely textured Ivory Touch surface to absorb finger moisture and assist the playing control, while let-off simulation recreates the subtle 'notch' sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano.
New EPs, Tonewheel organs, and Vintage amplifier effects
Complementing its impressive variety of acoustic piano sounds, the MP10 also features a selection of brand new electric pianos. Classic tines, reeds, and clavs"each one lovingly sampled from original vintage instruments to ensure their distinctive characteristics (and occasional imperfections) are richly preserved.
The tonal character of an amplifier or speaker cabinet is an important component of any vintage electronic instrument. The MP10 therefore features an amp simulator function that helps to bring a feeling of analog warmth to the raw electric piano sound. It also offers a selection of 6 different amp/speaker cabinet types ranging from the crisp-clean Tweed Deluxe and classic Jazz Combo, to the crunchier growl of a British Blues or UK Class A. It allows direct access to the amplifier's drive and volume levels, in addition to dedicated Lo, Mid, and Hi tone controls. Simply select your favorite EP sound, crank up the amp drive, and dig-into vintage keyboard playing heaven.
Realtime parameter adjustments, direct panel control
Besides adjusting volumes for the individual MIDI and sound sections of the MP10, the intuitive panel layouts and solid, smooth faders featured on it provide direct control over mixing internal and external sound sources.
Further realtime adjustments are made possible using the instrument's four control knobs, with the MP10 allowing a variety of parameters to be freely assigned for each section. When playing acoustic piano sounds, for example, it may be desirable to have direct control over Virtual Technician parameters such as voicing and string resonance.
Then, when switching over to the electric pianos, you will undoubtedly appreciate having immediate access to the simulated amplifier's tone controls"momentarily boosting your mid-range in order to cut through the mix for a solo.
It's also possible to adjust the parameters of external devices by assigning MIDI control change messages to each knob. Thanks to the M10's thorough MIDI implementation and comprehensive panel controls, the MP10 is ideally suited to handle the role of master keyboard in a studio environment with assignable MMC buttons, allowing effortless integration with DAW software and hardware.
USB Connectivity, MP3/WAV Record and Playback
The MP10 is equipped with USB ports that not only allow it to be connected to a Mac or PC for MIDI use, but also to load and save data directly to USB memory devices. This 'USB to Device' functionality allows customized sounds, SETUP memories, and recorder songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for future gigs, or even exchanged with other MP owners online.
USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio files, and SMF song data, allowing you to play along with professional backing tracks, or simply learn the chords or melody for a new piece.
It is even possible to record performances directly as MP3/WAV audio or SMF song files for emailing to band members, casual listening away from the keyboard, or further editing using an audio workstation. Furthermore, the MP10 also supports recording from external audio sources such as amped guitars or vocals using the instrument's convenient LINE IN jacks. Adjust the input level from a dedicated panel fader, select the preferred audio format, then press record"the MP takes care of the rest. Produce crystal-clear digital recordings of all your performances, without ever having to leave the keyboard.

PARKERSBURG, W. VA. – A trio of Cobras scored three or more goals in the Coker men's lacrosse team's 15-9 win over Ohio Valley University on Saturday (Mar. 8). Shane Wilson, Mike Martiello and Andy Campos each scored a hat trick to help the Cobras improve to 3-3 on the year.
Coker took an early 3-1 lead in the first quarter of action with goals from Wilson, Martiello and Campos. Three more goals in the second quarter pushed Coker to a 6-3 lead heading into halftime. Five goals in the third quarter gave the Cobras an 11-5 advantage heading into the final stanza of action. The Cobras would then add on four more goals in the fourth quarter to take home the 15-9 victory.
Wilson led the attack with four goals, while Martiello had three goals and a pair of assists. Campos finished the day with three goals and three assists, and Ryan Maurer added two goals and three assists. Timothy Smith chipped in two goals, while Mike Maresca scored the only other goal of the day for Coker.
Tim Ryan continued his hot streak between the pipes with 10 more saves. He is now second in the league in saves with 78 on the year.
The Cobras will return home for their next game on Thursday (Mar. 13) at noon against Dominican College.

Streaming video services like PlayOn, Netflix, and Hulu are becoming a serious threat to cable and satellite television providers. Each of these services offers customers comparable content for a vastly lower monthly rate.
"Cable subscriptions are falling –- not just because of the economy but because of the growing profusion of streaming video," said George Yochum, a professor in the Department of Communication Studies at California University of Pennsylvania. "In the end, I suspect the Internet will somehow win out here."
At a glance, the package deals offered by Comcast and DirecTV seem like a steal. They offer to buy consumers out of their current contract or give a discounted monthly price. And nearly all cable and satellite providers also have a plan that includes Internet -– provided customers sign a two-year contract with the company.
But after the first year, those introductory prices go away, and a customer is left with a bill creeping up towards $100 a month. The money offered to "buy out" your existing contract with a competitor turns out to be a mere credit towards your new bill, leaving you to pay out of pocket for a termination fee. Add that with the rising costs of gas and electricity and what is left is a community without money to spend on anything other than bills -– and groceries, if there's anything left over.
However, streaming video services are emerging as a popular alternative form of television — and although these services don't mean suffering through the cheapest broadcast-channels-only cable/satellite package, they cost the same price or less.
James Carter, also a professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Cal U, can shed some light on the subject:
"The basic advantage to the consumer is that [streaming video services] offer competition to traditional content providers, which may lead to lower costs for the consumer," Carter said. "The other advantage is it allows consumers to view programs when they want."
Services like Hulu Plus and Netflix are rising in popularity, and it's no question why -– they both offer unlimited streaming video for less than $10 a month. The plans are both contract-free -– a trend growing even in the cell phone industry. Netflix offers a free trial period of one month and Hulu Plus offers a trial of one week for potential customers to see if they're interested.
"We've been using Hulu for over two years now," said Jill Coalson, a former resident of Pennsylvania. "It was all we could afford at the time my family moved to San Diego."
PlayOn, another Internet video service, gives the choice of paying monthly, yearly, or a flat rate lifetime subscription plan, and none of these deals total more than $5 a month. This service is different from others because it uses applications and plug-ins to add channels and expand the content available for streaming.
"It has everything that we like to watch, and it's commercial-free," Barry Coalson said of TV-Links, a free plug-in for PlayOn that uploads episodes of nearly every television program just hours after the episode airs on television. "Why should we pay more money for shows we don't watch?"
Although these services are definitely eating away at the revenue of the cable and satellite companies, Jim Holland, a PlayOn representative, said PlayOn's service is "nowhere near the size of large cable and satellite companies.
"That being said, many of our customers do use PlayOn as a means to 'cut the cord,' and many others use PlayOn as a supplement to their cable or satellite service," Holland said.
Many cable networks are jumping on the streaming-video bandwagon. Some premium channel networks, such as HBO and Cinemax, have already started their own streaming applications -– HBO-Go and MAX Go, respectively. Blockbuster is attempting the same -– and failing miserably. Amazon even offers a video-on-demand service that is gaining momentum in the streaming video industry.
Streaming video services such as these are a growing trend with parents, partially because of the selection available for their children. Streaming services offer a middle-area for those who don't want to rid their home of television altogether –- instead, they can choose what programming is appropriate to stream for their family.
"There's stuff on television that I don't want my kids exposed to," Jill Coalson said. "With Hulu, it's not like an infant can turn the channel to something [he] shouldn't be watching –- I make the playlist."
Most new television sets come ready for streaming services such as these. For customers with older television sets, it is possible to watch via computer or laptop, but using your computer as your television just isn't the same for some. Luckily, there are more options available.
Through the use of digital video players, or DVPs, these services are easily streamed directly onto your television. Leading the market are Roku and Apple TV, two popular digital video players that both stream Hulu Plus, Netflix, and PlayOn. Roku offers channels developed specifically for its DVP -– including original shows and content only available to Roku customers, whereas Apple TV is geared more towards Mac customers who regularly use iTunes and the new iCloud software.
"I purchased a Roku for the fall semester," said Christine McCann, 23, a senior early childhood education major at Cal U. "It's easy to use with Netflix and PlayOn, and it doesn't take up much space by the television. It fits in the palm of my hand. It's already saved me hundreds of dollars since my contract with DirecTV expired."
The Coalsons watch programming on Hulu using an Apple iPad, another popular option for streaming media, along with the iPhone and Android mobile devices.
For those who own a somewhat-modern gaming console, such as a Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation3, or Nintendo Wii, purchasing a DVP isn't necessary -– the gaming consoles are also Internet-ready and offer the streaming services.
"You are using a computer when you stream video," Carter said. "The newer gaming consoles are, in fact, computers. They just aren't traditional CPUs."
Viewer Nicholas Scalzo, 22, of Charleroi, said, "I can't afford cable or satellite, so I use a Netflix account on my PS3." He moved to Charleroi in August to attend Cal U in the spring. "It's usually OK, but sometimes, the Internet times out and it freezes whatever show I'm watching," he said.
Carter agreed that "A definite disadvantage of streaming media is the possibility of lag time when a program needs to buffer."
But all you need to evade this downside is a high-speed Internet provider, according to Carter. Holland said such service already is a necessity in today's fast-paced, tech-savvy world.
However, some have found a way around the Internet bill, too. Supposing someone within the device's range has an unprotected wireless network, a digital video player like Roku or a gaming console like the PlayStation3 will automatically pick up the signal and connect to the Internet.
On top of that, multiple devices can be linked to one Netflix account, giving the opportunity for a community account of sorts among small groups of people.
"When I lived with my sister at her apartment, we streamed her Netflix account through my PlayStation3," Donald Davis, 23, of Charleroi, said. "When I moved, I took my PS3 with me and she linked her Xbox 360 to her account. Netflix is still running on my console –- and I don't pay a dime," Davis said.
Another issue with streaming media content from the Internet to television is the possibility of piracy. Although Netflix and Hulu profess, on their websites, to be adamant about copyright infringement, PlayOn offers applications and plug-ins from third-party developers –- some of which are live-television feeds of cable channels, such as HBO, Comedy Central, and FX, among others -– with a disclaimer that the company does not take responsibility for the development of third-party applications.
Holland contends that piracy is not an issue that PlayOn faces.
"PlayOn simply screen-shifts content you already have access to," Holland said. "There are many other products that do the same thing — though with different content."
Of course, there are downsides to every service. Netflix is hemorrhaging customers following a recent revamping of its system, separating streaming movie services and DVD-by-mail services, effectively raising the price from $9.99 a month to a combined cost of $15.98 a month.
"I ditched the DVD-by-mail, but I kept the streaming service," Scalzo said of the recent Netflix price hike. "It's still a better deal than Comcast, but the selection is pretty limited."
Coupled with the increased cost for streaming service and DVD-by-mail service, Starz has no plans to renew its contract with Netflix. Instead, Starz may make its own digital push, following the likes of HBO and Cinemax. Starz provides movies from Sony Pictures and Walt Disney Studios, which means without Starz, the Netflix selection will indefinitely grow slimmer.
Hulu may be losing some content in the near future, as well. Comcast's acquisition of NBC puts a lot of influence on the company -– the cable giant may eventually require the television network to sever ties with longtime business partner Hulu.
PlayOn also has its flaws. In order for PlayOn to stream content over a television, a PC or laptop must be running and connected to the PlayOn server –- even though the media isn't playing on the computer. As Holland explains, the biggest shortcoming with PlayOn is that PlayOn is "essentially a virtual cable running from your PC to your mobile device or television."
"If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd have said the lack of sports and live news is the main downside to PlayOn," Holland said. "This was not a PlayOn problem; there were just few live sports and live news streams available. That has changed for the better recently and PlayOn has quickly developed support for these new content streams."
With services like Hulu, Netflix, and PlayOn, cable and satellite providers could be in for an unexpected drop in revenue. A customer can have a membership to each of these services and still remain under $30 a month -– plus Internet costs. Some customers expect the television networks to restrict their content and suggest this fad will fade out, but others remain convinced that cable and satellite television are things of the past.
"Anything is possible, but I have my doubts that [the demise of cable and satellite TV] will be in the near future," Carter said. "It would most likely be a continuation of what we are seeing happen already -– the consolidations of providers as cable and satellite providers are merged with content providers. With this happening, then the advantage of lower prices to consumers is less likely."

Looks really interesting! Thanks puddin! I have hope for Russ!
Quote from: Dawne on December 04, 2009, 05:10:55 PMLooks really interesting! Thanks puddin! I have hope for Russ! Damn it I don't care what the spoilers are saying, I think he can win!
If he [Russell] could manage to win an IC (no luck so far), he could hand off the (visible) necklace and brag that nobody's going to vote for him anyway, he doesn't need it, then play the hidden one after the vote. That seems a little obvious for a guy who's already found two idols that people know about, but maybe the remaining contestants are sufficiently gullible to fall for it. Alternatively, he could also hand the hidden idol off to the actual IC winner, and have them hand him the IC necklace to draw votes.
How could it play out to be the boldest move?
That is 1 TC and one new juror.The other TC is a double boot, voting 2 new jurors. Perhaps the 2 with the most votes go.Looks like 3 are leaving the tribe.

I was on the fence about watching the Oscars tonight. Chris Rock is an inspired choice to host, and Scorsese will probably get his Susan Lucci moment. But then again, I haven't seen anything except the brilliant Eternal Sunshine, so it's hard to give a shit.
Then I read this.
My little protest will drop ABC's rating in New York by 1/73763 of a point.

Tears and Cheers
Emotional Night Ends Right
From the pregame ceremonies to the pie, last night was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone who watched. It was a Drama Club victory, and a game that will no-doubt be a Yankee Classic. I'm just so happy that the Yankees came out on top. It was a game they had to win.
Before the game, the lives of Bob Sheppard and George Steinbrenner where remembered. The crowd was silent, giving the two iconic men all their respect. Mariano Rivera placed two roses on top of home plate, one for Bob and one for the Boss.
Later on in the ceremony, Derek Jeter made a short-but-sweet speech honoring Bob and George. He requested a moment of silence, and silenced the Stadium went.
I'm sure the Yankees could have spent hours talking about Steinbrenner and Sheppard, but there was a baseball game to play. As a tribute to Bob Sheppard, the public address announcer did not announce. There were no player intros. The crowd seemed confused at the beginning of the game, not knowing whether to behave as if they were at a memorial, or a ballgame.
CC Sabathia struggled last night. He lacked command, and had to grind out each inning. By the 3rd, it was 2-0 Rays. The Yankees got a run back in the bottom of the 3rd. Nick Swisher's RBI single scored Brett Gardner. That made it 2-1.
Sabathia got into a serious jam in the 5th, having loaded the bases with none out. Sabathia managed to minimize the damage by getting Evan Longoria to ground into a 5-4-3 double play. He allowed just 1 run that inning, but the Rays still had the lead at 3-1.
The Yankees still trailed 3-1 in the 6th inning. After 2 quick outs, I didn't expect any runs that inning. But Robinson Cano had other ideas. Robbie hit a 2-out solo home run to get the Yankees back into the game. It was the first time all night the crowd really started cheering.
After Cano, Jorge Posada took his turn at bat. He got ahead in the count 3-0. Joe Girardi made a bold move, and gave Jorge the green light. And it paid off. Jorge hit an absolute bomb for a solo home run, back to back with Robbie. More importantly, the game was tied at 3. The Yankees were fighting. I knew there was no way they were going to lose this game.
CC Sabathia got into another bases loaded none out jam in the 7th, and gave the Rays right back a run on a Ben Zobrist ground out. Although he was able to once again minimize the damage, I feared that it would be a momentum killer for the Yankees. The Rays led 4-3.
David Robertson relieved CC in the 8th, and I cringed when I saw it was he who Girardi put in. To my surprise, Robertson looked like he did last year. He was superb. Robertson threw a 1-2-3 inning, and struckout all three Rays batters.
In the bottom of the 8th, Nick Swisher showed that the Yankees weren't ever going to give up. The Boss loved to win, and he would do anything to win. Swisher embraced this philosophy. Swish belted a ball into the 2nd deck, for yet another game-tying home run. After crossing the plate, Swisher kissed the George Steinbrenner patch on his uniform.
With a tie game, the Yanks handed the ball to the Great Mariano for the 9th. He allowed a cheap leadoff single to BJ Upton, but quickly erased it. I don't remember the last time I've seen it: Mariano picked off Upton at first base. He was out by a mile. Upton was infuriated, and began spewing expletives all over the place. Leave it to Upton to have no class. He's the polar opposite of the New York Yankees.
Mariano got out of the 9th with no problem. The only question now was: Who wants pie?
Curtis Granderson had a great at-bat and got on base with a leadoff single through the hole on the right side of the infield. Ramiro Pena laid down a perfect sac bunt, moving the GrandyMan to 2nd base with 1 out. Brett Gardner's at-bat was even more suspensful. He quickly fell behind in the count 0-2, but that didn't worry him. Brett was cool, calm, and collected 3 balls making the count full. After what seemed to be an eternity, Gardner drew a walk. That brought up Jeter.
The captain was extremely fond of both Bob Sheppard and George Steinbrenner, so it seemed fitting for him to get the walkoff. Jeter made a valient effort, but could not get the job done. He struckout for the 2nd out, and left it up to Nick Swisher.
I would have loved to see Jeter win the game, but if he couldn't do it, I wouldn't want anybody up at the plate but Nick Swisher. He always puts up a great at-bat, and has been so clutch for the Yankees this season.
Nick Swisher delivered once again. He ripped a single into right field, and Granderson was safe at the play at the plate. The team had to wait until they knew for sure Granderson was safe before charging out of the dugout. Then, the customary walkoff chaos began.
And then, like he had done 19 times before, A.J. Burnett emerged stealthily from the dugout, and pied Nick Swisher.
Sweet victory.
This was a game that the Yankees absolutely had to win. They have been through so much this past week. It's victories like this that bring the team closer. All the Yankees are the heroes for this 5-4 thrilling victory, but #1 is Nick Swisher.
The Yankees now have a 3 game lead over the pesky Rays. The Red Sox lost once again and are 6.5 games back. Things are looking mighty fine for the Yankees right now. But as George would have wanted, the Yankees have to take things 1 day at a time. There is still a lot of baseball left to play.
Bob Sheppard and George Steinbrenner, I hope this victory tastes as good to you as it did for the Yankees (and Swisher). May you rest in peace ♥

Nelson Has Five Hits On Day For Yale
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Cornell has always been one of the top hitting softball teams in the Ivy League. Yale matched the Big Red hit for hit in Saturday's doubleheader, but the difference was the long ball. Cornell belted four home runs and swept the Bulldogs, winning the first game 8-6 and taking the nightcap 8-5.
Yale actually outhit the Big Red 24-19 on the day. Christy Nelson went 5-for-7 with a triple and three RBI for the Bulldogs. Jennifer Ong added four hits, and Riley Hughes, Tori Balta and Meg Johnson each had three hits.
All four of Cornell's home runs came in the first game. The biggest was from Christina Villalon, a three-run blast with two-out in the top of the seventh that capped a five-run inning for the Big Red.
The Bulldogs (7-21, 1-7 Ivy) have struggled with slow starts throughout the season. That certainly wasn't the case on Saturday. Yale scored twice in the first inning of the first game to grab the early lead. Ong led off with a walk and Balta followed with a bunt single. Kylie Williamson advanced the runners with a perfect sacrifice bunt. Cornell pitcher Jenna Stoller then threw a pitch that went to the back stop. Ong raced home, and when the throw to the plate got away, Balta alertly scored as well.
The Bulldogs added three runs in the second. Singles by Hughes, Ong and Williamson loaded the bases. Nelson then hit a long fly ball to centerfield. Linda Laeuffer couldn't make the catch near the fence, all three runners scored and Nelson was credited with a triple.
Cornell (16-13, 6-1 Ivy) used a pair of home runs – a solo shot by Erin Keene and a two-run blast by Katie Watts – to pull within 5-3 in the fourth.
Yale added what looked to be a big insurance run in the sixth. Nelson walked and moved to second on Johnson's single to centerfield. Chelsea Janes then delivered a clutch, two-out RBI single.
After Cornell scored five times in the top of the seventh, the Bulldogs refused to quit. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Hughes singled to center, and Ong followed with a double that put the tying run in scoring position. Lauren Marx was then summoned into the circle for the Big Red, and she struck out the next two hitters to end the game.
Hughes finished 3-for-4 with a run scored and Ong was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored for Yale.
The Bulldogs also got off to a quick start in the second game when Balta tripled and scored on Sarah Onorato's ground out in the first inning.
The Big Red, though, scored the next four runs. Yale pulled to within 4-3 by scoring twice in the fourth. Johnson singled and Virginia Waldrop walked to start the rally. After a ground out, Ong delivered a two-run single up the middle.
The Big Red then scored four times in the fifth to regain control.
Yale tallied once in the sixth on Balta's sacrifice fly, and once in the seventh on Waldrop's RBI single. Marx, though, came on again in the bottom of the seventh to record the final out and notch her second save of the day.
Nelson went 4-for-4 with a run scored for Yale. Ong and Balta both had two hits apiece.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday when they host a doubleheader against Wagner beginning at 2:30 p.m.

With a great number of scams out there and so called "gurus", you are smart to ask how to learn Internet Marketing free. This is because it is so easy to get bitten by a scam or find yourself in a sales funnel, asking for more and more of your money for the next piece of information, which is useless ninety percent of the time.
If you really do want to learn internet marketing though, there are some great resources out there, and believe it or not, some of the best ones are free to start.
What Is Internet Marketing?
Many people get images of spammers, scammers, and pipe dreamers when they hear the term "Internet Marketing" but for me it is simply about having a business online. Maybe you have a website, it could be about anything, and you use that website to earn money, either from referring people to products on another website, such as Amazon, and receiving a commission, or through people clicking on your adverts. It is that simple and anybody can learn it.
What Do You Need To Know?
Firstly, you need to know a little bit about how to create a website, and how to place links and content on it. Don't worry though, this is easily learned. If you can write an e-mail you can do this. Really!
You also need to know what sort of things you need to do to your site to generate some traffic, and how to keep users who visit your site interested. This is very basic stuff and can be learned in a few days and mastered in only a few weeks.
Lastly, you need to know how to use social sites like Facebook or Twitter to help promote your site. More and more online marketing is done by utilizing these types of sites, but fear not, it is again something that is very easy. Have you ever used Facebook to talk about how good a movie that you saw recently was? That was essentially the same as Internet Marketing.
How To Learn Internet Marketing
There are some very good resources out there, and even ones that offer free services. If you really want to learn, it is best to do it as part of a community. Do not buy some product or pdf that promises to teach you everything, it will go out of date very quickly and will waste your money. Instead, you will want to join a community like I did and learn from fellow Internet Marketers. Success is achieved through teamwork!
