Isabel Mancinelli
Isabel Mancinelli
Charles Eliot Professor of Ecological Planning, Policy and Design
207-801-5714 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Isabel is currently the Charles Eliot Professor of Ecological Planning, Policy and Design. Prior to joining the faculty at COA she was a park planner and captain of the planning team for the General Management Plan for Acadia National Park. Isabel and her students work extensively with local communities on comprehensive land use and landscape plans, as well as with grassroots community planning groups.
B.S. Architecture, Catholic University of America, 1975
M.L.A. Landscape Architecture, Harvard University, 1981
Isabel holds the Charles Eliot Chair in Ecological Planning, Policy & Design
This Chair was endowed in honor the landscape architect and environmentalist, Charles Eliot, who was the first to analyze landscapes as layers of cultural, economic, and ecological systems, to devise scientific methods for recording them, and to implement political measures for conserving them. The establishment of the Chair signifies the College's commitment to collaborative and interdisciplinary scholarship in all realms of environmental policy, planning and design, incorporating the arts, sciences and humanities.
Courses Taught
AD009Architectural Design Studio
In this design studio students are introduced to the field of architectural design and the design process. We examine various aspects of this functional art including scale, texture, volume, void, light, rhythm, and form. Basic principals of architectural structures and a brief historical overview are presented. Students attempt to apply these principals in solving practical problems. They are expected to develop basic architectural drafting skills to represent three dimensional space in two dimensions. The course includes model building skills and an actual design project. Level: Intermediate. Prerequisites: Recommended Introduction to Arts and Design and/or Two-Dimensional Design. Offered every other year. Class limit: 11. Lab fee: $25. *ADS*
HS543Community Planning and Decision Making
Albert Einstein once observed that "no problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew". If Einstein's idea is accurate about how humans understand the universe, it is likewise true of how we plan and manage our relationships with the environment. One of the primary aims of human ecology is to explore new ways to envision human environment relations. Within its integrative perspective, scientific knowledge and human aesthetics can be combined in ways that enrich human communities as well as value and protect the rest of the living world. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a foundation of theory and practical skills in ecological policy and community planning. A broad range of ideas and methodologies will be explored. Using real examples of current issues - such as sprawl, smart growth, gateway communities, watershed based regional planning, land trusts, and alternative transportation systems. We will be joined by the actual leaders of these changes locally and state wide in Maine. We will also examine emerging methodologies that emphasize participatory planning, community capacity-building, and empowering marginalized groups. These models and ideas will be further compared with prominent approaches and case studies from elsewhere around the country. As a part of current ideas about community planning and policy, the course also introduces small group collaboration techniques, and the use of computers to enhance complex decision processes. A field component will take advantage of varied external opportunities - including town meetings, conferences, and public events. Evaluations will be based on class participation, several short research papers, and end of term small group projects. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Lab Fee: $40. *HS*
AD502Form of the City
AD065Introduction to Arts and Design
This course is the fundamental course for students pursuing studies in Arts and Design, offering insights into the range of issues addressed in the arts and design curriculum while also helping students investigate their own creativity. This course has both studio and theoretical components. Major directions taken by artists, designers, architects, and planners are explored. Areas of investigation include gardens, shopping centers, town planning, perspective drawing, small structure design, color, and aesthetics. Studio work involves both individual and team efforts. Students are expected to observe, document, analyze, and make recommendations for the improvement of the designed world. Students are expected to submit examples of studio work and to participate in the class discussions. Evaluations are based upon the above. Level: Introductory. Offered every fall. Class limit: 20. Lab fee $20. *ADS*
AD353Land Use Planning I
In this course we will examine what key physical aspects make communities desirable places to live, work and visit and how principals of sustainability can be integrated into the planning process. New development often undermines a sense of place and poses threats to environmental resources such as water quality. Through analyzing a local town in terms of its natural resources, cultural history, scenic quality and the built environment, students determine how new development and conservation may be balanced. They learn how to use computerized geographic information systems (GIS) as a planning tool in developing their recommendations. Students present their final class project to local community decision-makers. Level: Intermediate. Previous coursework in GIS is not a prerequisite. Class limit: 12. Lab Fee $50.00. I. Mancinelli and G. Longsworth *AD* Offered every other year.
AD217Landscape Design Studio
This studio course introduces students to the profession of Landscape Architecture, the design process and skills. Aspects to be covered include site analysis, program development, design concept, final site design and graphic representation. Evaluations are based on understanding and interpretation of the site program, application of the design process and articulation of ideas and concepts through graphics and oral presentation. Level: Intermediate. Prerequisite: Introduction to Arts and Design, Two-Dimensional Design, and Woody Plants, or signature of instructor. Offered every other year. Lab fee $25. Class limit: 11. *ADS*
AD384Plants in the Campus Landscape
This course adopts a workshop format, focusing on the management of living plant collections on the COA campus. Emphasis will be on planting and maintenance of woody plants, but some attention will be paid to perennial herbaceous ornamentals. Class activities will include hands-on projects, e.g. pruning campus trees, shrubs, and vines, planting new accessions for the campus-wide arboretum, identifying and labeling plants, developing a map and tour guide for campus plants, studying planting design principals and site requirements, and developing a plan for future additions to the campus-wide arboretum, strategies for dealing with invasive exotics, and replacement of specimen trees. This course may be especially appropriate for those interested in horticulture and landscape architecture. There are no course prerequisites, but some background in design or horticulture is helpful, such as a prior course in plant taxonomy, gardening, arts and design, or architecture. Students will be evaluated on class participation, completion of assignments and an individual project. Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Class limit: 16. Lab fee: $40.

"Livable Cities" suburban residential densities can fund Subway Construction
In this amateur Urban Designer's opinion, higher density building standards along mass transit corridors in Toronto's suburbs – that mirror Toronto's Core densities, with a large number of 3 story walk-up apartment buildings on single or double lots, and zoning changes to permit 'alleyway Grand Parent Flats' over top of/instead of garages – can produce the necessary tax revenue needed to fund a Subway network in Toronto like those of London, Moscow and Paris.
When Rob Ford was elected Mayor of Toronto in October 2010 he immediately proposed stopping construction of 3 of 4 Light Rapid Transit (LRT) lines in favour of redirecting the Provincial funding for them to subway construction. Subway construction costs a lot more than street level separated rail – so the bang for the buck fell well short of what residents perceived was needed. The number of kilometres of subway Toronto was going to get under Mayor Ford's plan – and his inability to get private funding to augment the Provincial 8.4 Billion dollars already in the funding package – paled in light of the public transit commute experience that many Torontonians face each day.
The need for new mass transit in key areas of the city where population numbers are mushrooming - North Etobicoke, North York and North Scarborough - is making public transit – and the highway type roads there – next to useless at rush hour (now 3 hours long, morning and night). Grid lock and the perception that the Mayor didn't really have a plan, caused a political backlash for the Mayor's Office on transit. The result was that the Mayor's public transit plan was effectively killed in favour of the existing LRT plan in a vote at Toronto City Council on February 8, 2012.
People are giving up on public transit and switching to back to cars – which is leading to more expressway grid lock in a city that already has the longest automobile commute times in North America – or citizens are just leaving the labour force, because their commute time and compensation didn't jive with the erosion of their quality of life – 3 hour commutes combined with the 'new normal' 12 hour work day.
The solution so far, for cash strapped cities with-in the neo-liberal schema of extremely low corporate tax rates, has been to invest in low cost surface rail separated from automobile traffic by transit right of ways. This LRT solution is the last option standing, mainly because of the low population densities in a suburban development model that was built based on the car.
We now understand that the model is unsustainable and that higher density development, walking and cycling infrastructure improvement, and more public transit is the long term answer.
|Zoning increases needed to make Sheppard subway a reality: Chong
A rendering supplied by the Tridel development group to city planners. It shows what the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East might look like after it were redeveloped using density rights allocated from the subway station.
(Image and Text courtesy of Inside Toronto – from the article sighted)
When Rob Ford asked private developers to come up with a workable subway funding strategy based on private borrowing that was financed over time by increases in tax revenues that would arrive through increased development along proposed subway routes – the developers came back with a plan for high towers at major intersections all across suburbia.
See, Inside Toronto:
"Zoning increases needed to make Sheppard subway a reality: Chong
– Highrises at major intersections required to get support of developers"
- http://www.insidetoronto.com/news/cityhall/article/1018260–zoning-increases-needed-to-make-sheppard-subway-a-reality-chong
They like to build condo's apparently, and I guess they thought if their banks were going to foot the bill for public infrastructure – at a moment in time when the Mayor was over a barrel – they figured they could ask for the moon – and get it.
Silly, greedy capitalists – by doing so they pretty much killed the privatization of Public Transit in Toronto (likely Mayor Ford's neo-con, hidden agenda for all public inheritances).
In this amateur Urban Designer's opinion a less neighbourhood invasive option would make this kind of Subway financing do-able. Higher density building standards along mass transit corridors in Toronto's suburbs (extending one bus stop width on either side of the corridor) – that mirror Toronto's Core densities, with a large number of 3 story walk-up apartment buildings on single or double lots, and zoning changes to permit 'alleyway Grand Parent Flats' over top of/instead of garages – can produce the necessary tax revenue needed to fund a world class subway network in Toronto.

Kent: Town residents' generosity noted
The generosity of the citizens of Kent and surrounding towns from Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, in support of "Friends of Fisher House" realized the cash amount of $ 4,156.27.
This fundraising drive would not have been successful without the cooperation of our veterans and Davis IGA. Our veterans personally collected the funds each and every day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monies raised will be used for the construction of a Fisher House at the Veteran's Home in West Haven, where families of ill and injured veterans can live at no cost while visiting their loved ones as they recover.

If the main shutoff is working, then yes you would have a main leak.
If the main shutoff is not working, then you may have a main leak, or a leaking toilet, irrigation system, faucet, or something.
I just purchased a new house and today I noticed that the water meter's 'little gear' (sorry, don't know the terminology) was turning even after I turned off the main supply line Globe Valve. I also noticed that the valve appears to have a small leak in that water is beading into drops on the valve... it's not a drip-drip-drip... but just a beading... quite slow... is that enough for the water meter movement to be noticeable or do I likely have a supply line leak coming to the house?
OR, how best to diagnose?
If the main shutoff is working, then yes you would have a main leak.
If the main shutoff is not working, then you may have a main leak, or a leaking toilet, irrigation system, faucet, or something.
OK Thanks.
I'll check today if I get any flow from a faucet w/ the valve in the shutoff position... but I I am wondering (assuming the shutoff valve is only partially closing) if there is enough flow to be visible at the meter is there therefore enough flow to see it at a faucet... or could I have a defective shutoff valve that is registering flow at the meter but that will not have sufficient pressure to force flow at a faucet one floor up from the basement?
And if the latter, I presume the only way to really check it would be to replace the valve?
Last edited by DavidTu; 05-24-2010 at 07:54 AM.
A slow drip will not be noticeable at the meter unless you spend a fair amount of time looking at it. Regardless of the main shut off, if all the faucets, toilets, etc. are closed the meter should not be moving.
I've determined that the shutoff valve does not work whatsoever. I got full flow with it turned 'off'. I am going to have to replace that and see what happens at the meter when it is actually shutoff. I do suspect I am going to have to replace the water service line.
Where is this valve in relation to the meter? Before or after? The meter only measures what goes through it, so a leak before it (from the street) wouldn't register. In some places, the meter is near the street, but where I grew up, they were always in the house. But, as has been said, if you have not got anything turned on in the house, if the meter is turning, there is water flowing through the meter going somewhere. Some of the more common ones that you may not notice are toilets, trap primers, humidifiers, ice makers, etc. It would take a fairly steady drip at a faucet to notice at the meter, at least unless you checked it after intervals...it is not likely to be easy to see move with just a slow drip unless many faucets are doing the same thing! If your meter is near the street, and you had a leak between it and the house, do you notice any area where the grass is greener, or it's soggy?

About That London US Women's 4x100
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
As I've noted elsewhere, only two US women(aside from Jeter) have broken 10.90, all-conditions, since 2010. One of them is pregnant, the other is SRR.
That being said, I have no idea if Richards-Ross even wants to be considered for the 4x1 in London. I suspect, though, she would happily accept the assignment if asked.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
I can't speak to her wishes for London. I also don't believe her 100 at TR was any type of audition for a 4x1 spot. However, it would be irresponsible to ignore the results.
I do know she's been interested in the past at a time when the field seemed to be much more crowded. Things also appeared more political within the US camp at that time (nike/adidas, relays, coaching, etc,). I'm sure Nike would love to see it.
Sanya and Felix on both relays helping the US to victory in both! The world don't want to see it because I've seen Sanya roll into a full sprint from a running start on a 4x1
Throw her 100m out the window and feel the breeze.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
The US women's 4x1 for London is not yet ready to be set in stone.
Many other potential candidates are still out there - Anderson, Lee, L. Williams and a handful
of collegiate sprinters.
I don't see SRR on the 4x1. Her remarks after Penn about winning 2 Gold medals in London
seem to indicate that her goal is the open 400 and the 4x4.
I love Felix, but if her decision is to double in the 400/200, then I would like to see someone else on the second leg, someone committed to running both the prelim and the final.
(and the two practice meets leading up to London).
Until the OlyTrials are concluded and the relay pools are named, no one is locked in the 4x1.
One thing is a lock and that is the US will use two substitutes in the prelims and will most likely have three new exchanges in the final. And one of those X-Ch will probably be for the first time in a competition.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Unfortunately, I think you're right. I wish USATF would adopt the USA Basketball blueprint which is to pick a coach whose credentials are beyond reproach and give him total autonomy. I believe the reason why Drummond got the job is because none of the folks on the top of the list would accept the job with so many strings attached.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
"Nothing to indicate"? How about the margin of victory this early in the season against the world's second best team on a cold day with a relative nubie leading off? Btw mr. condescension, the reason that woman's 4x100 wr is so "hard" is because the then East German girls(?) were doped like race horses. You believe whatever you wish.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
So by your comment it would then mean that if the US team breaks the record it's because they are doped up like race horses too right?
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
beebee, you need to be careful what you write; other posters have been banned for far less.
The WR is nothing to do with being doped; it has all to do with practice. Only Gohr and Gladish-Moller were sub 11 women that season; Gohr 10.86 with a +2.0 and 10.92 with a +1.2 and Gladisch-Moller 10.99. Sabine Gunther had set her PB that year but it was just 11.19.
We've been over this many times before, but the GDR women practised exchanges everyday. In a 1997 interview Auerswald said of her and Gohr "baton exchanges were part of our every day training; we could do them in our sleep". It is this, and not steroids, that made the WR. Many, many teams have had 4 faster women in a relay but none have put in the practice like the GDR girls did.
They also had the 'luxury' of selecting who they wanted, so with a far smaller pool of women than the US, they selected a small core and they were sent on relay training camps throughout the year.
But they also followed a strict technical model that the teams today just do not do:
-the 2nd leg was reserved for their 200m runners, or those stronger over 120m - Koch, Drechsler, Gunther (and Krabbe when the wall came down)
- They all started from a sprint start, not standing start
- They took on average 12-13 steps before they exchanged the baton. Most teams today do around 8 steps
- They did the upward exchange rather than downward/placing in the palm exchange
Until the US and Jamaican teams do something similar they will find it very difficult to break the WR.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
I would bet that if Jeter somehow didn't make the US team, she would still be anchor on the relay.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
If Jeter is not in the top four in the 100 or 200 (And this goes for Tyson Gay as well), she will not be anchoring the 4x1. I realize that USATF has trouble following their own protocols and procedures, especially when the 4x1 is involved, but this would be most unlikely.
I will take that bet, if Jeter fails to make the team.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Condescension isn't necessary, because you obviously see things from a child's point of view, or a hard-headed newbie with little historical context for track and field, Penn Relays or USA v. Jamaica rivalry. I mean who actually talks about "margin of victory" in an April race? And, who can cite "drugs" when its impossible to know who HAS and who HASN'T taken drugs? Because certainly every team since the GDR was absolute clean of PED's or any other illicit substances, no? Or maybe you're just not that informed. Maybe you weren't paying attention to previous years when Jamaican's did just enough not to get hurt - which probably would have been their intention on a cold Saturday in April. Or, maybe you weren't paying attention earlier this year when Jamaicans actually pulled out of a meet in Kingston, because...wait for it...it was too cool (google: Gibson Relays, Feb '12).
Penn Relays means nothing to professional Jamaicans; it's "home turf" for the USA and they defend it with a sense of purpose. Nothing wrong with either, imo, and it tells us absolutely NOTHING about what will happen in August. This would be informative if you wanted to learn, but...you'll believe whatever you wish.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Or come to the realization that picking a relay team/pool is different from vieing for a spot in the 100 or 200. Many good sprinters do not make good relay legs.
Why aren't the women 100 Hurdlers given any chance to show what they could do? Why the push to always have the big names (Jeter, Felix, Richards-Ross, the current ones) who are focused on their individdual events, when it is obvious that very good exchanges will more than make up for a slight loss of max. speed?
The final make-up of both US 4x1's is still very much up in the air.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
But only one week later the Jamaica Invitational sure does. It seems to mean more every year; not just to Jamaicans but other top athletes around the world. Now, even Bolt is showing up before the home crowd after skipping it in the past.
Maybe JA should include the relays in the future. Fans love relays and coaches love opportunities to field one. If the US could get its athletes at the same meet (other than TxRelays or Penn which still competes with Drake) maybe they would have more insight going into camp. An international event like the Ja Invite has become could invite the Brits and Russia too so we could have another opportunity to tweak the relays.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Last year Travis Padget didn't run the 100m final at nationals ran the 4x100 in Daegu.
Maurice Mitchell the 4th placer in the 200m at USA's ran the 4x100 instead of Dodson the 3rd placer who was on the team.
Bianca Knight was 4th in the 200 at USA's and was on the relay over the 3rd placer.
Alex Anderson was 5th at USA's in the 100 and beat out the 4th and 3rd placers for a sport on the relay.
I see it as the only way that Jeter doesn't run the relay is if she is injured.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Because BIG NAMES sell shoes and if you have one (a BIG NAME) its a pretty reliable indication that you can run really fast.
And if good exchanges over max speed is your argument, why are you pushing for hurdlers who often have less or no experience on relays and therefore could create issues wth both (exchanges and max speed)?
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Like I said, USATF has trouble following their own procedures. The order of the US OLyTrials
100/200 finish is not the deciding factor, being in the top four is supposed to be.
Dodson got himself in trouble, I recall. Anderson and Padgett were given spots to make up for
past relay mishaps.
The other way Jeter doesn't run is she sits out the prelim and the US gets DQ'd.
Not that that ever happens.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Well because Terrence Trammell, to name one, is a very good, reliable and experienced relay runner. I just wonder what Lolo and Kelli White (Lolo is very marketable) could do, given the chance. Hurdlers are much less likely to get nervous and have "happpy feet", going over hurdles does help to focus the concentration. Something the Big Names could use.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Dodson ran in Daegu....so his trouble was irrelevant by then.
None of the finishers ahead of Anderson and Padgett were involved in any relay mishaps. Anderson actually was herself back in 2009....
There is no way that the selection is "supposed" to be. If that's what they want, whether we like it or not, that what we will see. You fail to give a valid argument on why the US would leave the 2nd fastest women in history off the relay if she was healthy.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
DJG, I think you meant Kellie Wells. And TT may be an exception as he's a very good open sprinter indoors.
I believe the bigger issue is the relay squad getting ample practice or opportunity to work on exchanges.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Penn Relays means nothing to pro Jamaicans? Really? I've been going to the Penn Relays for the last ten years and Jamaica has practically hijacked that meet from the U.S., culminating with all the pomp and circumstance imaginable at this past weekend's meet. On Saturday, when the Penn President announced that the Jamaican flag will fly over Franklin Field at all future Penn Relays, the mostly Jamaican crowd went crazy. If the Penn Relays is so unimportant to pro Jamaicans, why is it so important to Jamaican fans? Why does Philadelphia become North Kingston on the weekend on the Penn Relays?
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Because too many people worship the false God of 100 PR's.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Sell shoes? What does that have to do with the price of rice in China?
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
At the end of the day its about money.
What reason would Nike or Adidas have for wanting to influence who may or may not get relay consideration other than selling shoes (so to speak)? Relay camp in-fights have at times been traced back to sponsorship.
A lesser known athlete who hasn't excelled in their individual event even though they have a shoe contract is less likely to have the same affect as a Big Name.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
And Lolo still runs relays a couple of times a year at LSU meets whenever she's in town. Also, let's not forget that she ran on many sub-43 relay teams while she was at LSU at 1st, 2nd and 3rd legs, and those teams won 17 of 18 races her junior and senior years.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
USATF does have relay protocols and procedures on how it is "supposed" to be. The top four in the 100 US Trials final have earned on merit (a valid argument to me anyway) the right to be considered for the 4x1 relay. These athletes have a right to know that they will be given the opportunity to run on the 4x1. If it were any field event, do you think the fourth place finisher should be given a spot on the OLY team because they have a better PR over someone who beat them when it mattered most?
The current relay protocols, as written, are basicly worthless. Eg: look at how many members of the relay pools ran the practice meets leading up to Daegu - a stated condition for being on the relay.
There is a way it is "supposed to be", but USATF doesn't stick to it.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
which is why Jeter will be on the relay whether me or you likes it or not.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
What I would like to know is whether it's Jon Drummond's decision to ignore the protocols, or is he being forced to ignore them by higher-ups.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Drummond in consultation with the Head Coaches and Sprint Coaches are calling the shots,
as far as I can see. The higher-ups at USATF have taken the postition that it is up to the athletes to perform. They are the pros, after all.
Last year, Drummond annouced his "preferred" lineups at the meeting held the last day of
the US championships. How surprised the High Performance people were is anyone's guess.
New Head Coaches and New Sprint Coaches for London. So one draw the conclusion that Drummond is making the final decisions regarding the 4x1's.
One thing we know, the US will use two subs in the 4x1's as they have going back to 2000.
The results of this are plain as day.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
"Penn Relays means nothing to professional Jamaicans" Hilarious! They came that far to get spanked? No World Class athlete EVER MINDS LOSING! You wouldn't be spewing such crap if the Jamaicans ladies had beaten the U.S. girls so soundly. As I said, believe what pleases you friend...I'm certain that the US ladies feel a whole lot better today than their Jamaicans rivals.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
It sounds like you are of the opinion that Drummond has dictatorial powers, and he gets the final call on substitutions without anyone else being able to overrule him.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
He's the relay coach and that's what he was hired to do.
So yes, I believe he is calling the shots. I just disagree with his using two subs in the prelims.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Because of the High School athletes who generally tend to dominate.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
USATF have now put NBC Penn Relays footage onto their Youtube channel so I can see the full race. Madison/Felix/Knight/Jeter looked really good the whole way around, second change was average but impressive run for April.
Knight gets a lot of stick for her conditioning but I thought she looked as good as a I have seen her, fitter than indoors earlier this year. She ran a good bend as well and removing Felix and Jeter from the equation, she's as good a bend runner as anyone else in the frame and if she gets in the top five in either sprint in the US Trials, I think she should be included in the pool.
Jamaica have some work to do but I am confident they will improve, by how much between now and London remains to be seen.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Tarmoh 11.13 PR in the Caymans last night.
Given her extensive stick experience with the hyper-successful A&M teams, she may well be worth some OG consideration.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Consideration yes, but I wouldn't put her over any of the ladies who ran on that Penn 4x1, and a few other ladies behind them.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Tarmoh ran the second leg exclusively in 2011 at A&M, given they might rest Felix for the final, she's worth considering for the heat run.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
That's fine, and yes very feasible. But I was thinking along the lines of the final line up.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
I'd def. give her a look over Knight, whose lack of collegiate experience makes her far less familiar with a baton. Knight's best 100 the last two years? 11.40 in '10, 11.22 in '09. It's not as if she's got big 100 credentials of current standing.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
There's an article on Athletics Weekly this week where prominent track supporters are asked for predictions for the season. There are a couple of ubiquitous twins who predicted UK women's to medal in the 4x1, legendary stat man Ian Hodge has the same prediction.
Great minds and all that
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
I'm with you, but for some reason that(the points you made) doesn't seem to matter.
Last edited by guru on Thu May 10, 2012 6:14 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: About That London US Women's 4x100
Not to mention Tarmoh ran a nice 22.51 (-0.1) in St. Martin a few days before the Cayman meet, only a few tenths off her PR from last year at Eugene (22.28, 1.0w) - she's rounding into nice form.

Embedthis Bit replaces both autoconf and make with a single utility: bit. Bit provides a higher level of abstraction for easily specifying the targets to build (libraries and executables). It can build directly on Linux, Mac, or Windows and cross compile for other platforms. It can also generate native projects for Visual Studio, XCode, Make, Nmake, and shell scripts. Bit builds quickly without the complexity of autoconf and make. Bit projects are described using JavaScript, and the entire build is exposed as a unified DOM object.
SBuild is a Scala-based build system. It features platform independence, multi project support, automatic detection of needed actions, automatic up-to-date detection, a flexible scheme handler mechanism, Maven repository support, Ant task integration, automatic cross-project resolving of dependencies, high speed, a simple "syntax" that requires almost no Scala knowledge, behind-the-sceens compilation of build script to bytecode for fast execution time, and built-in scheme handlers for HTTP and Maven.
EBuild is a software project build, dependency management, and reporting technology. The aim is to be able to tackle any build problem in a structured, declarative, and elegant way. It is written in Java, but can be used to build all manner of projects and is extensible via a plugin interface. It is best compared to something like Maven (and in some respects Ivy). It aims to overcome certain design flaws and the resultant unnecessary complexity. The EBuild build model is general, but plugins need to be written in a JVM compatible language. Existing plugins all deal with the Java ecosystem, so EBuild is most suitable for Java and mixed technology software projects.
RenderConfig allows the definition of a set of modifications that can be used to transform (or render) a set of source files to provide tailored configuration specific to a particular instance of an application. A typical use case for this is where your application requires a set of configuration files that identify multiple servers that provide particular application services. These application servers will differ depending on whether you are running the application in development, testing, or in production. With RenderConfig, at build time you can explicitly produce a set of configuration files that support all of these configurations, providing the ability to ship the configuration with the other build artifacts.
Assimilate is a Maven2 plugin that allows developers to import dependencies from other pre-built Maven projects without a formal parent-child hierarchy existing between the projects. There is no limit to the number of project dependencies. Maven 2.0.9's "import" scope acts not on managed dependencies, but on those declared in the dependency management section of the imported pom file. Assimilate, in contrast, is designed to act on managed dependencies of any prebuilt Maven project (stored in the local repository), as though they were declared in the local project's managed dependency section.
FitNesse Maven Classpath Plugin is a Maven2 plugin that collects the dependencies of the entire project, including its sub-modules.

"ET: The Extra-Terrestrial" hit theaters during the busiest summer for movies, but still grossed almost $800 million worldwide. A treatment for a sequel, called "ET: Nocturnal Fears," was quickly thrown together, but it was so dark that producers had to pass on it.
Speaking to the American Film Institute, Steven Spielberg explained why "ET 2" never happened. "Sequels can be very dangerous because they compromise your truth as an artist," he said. "I think a sequel to 'ET' would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity. People only remember the latest episode, while the pilot tarnishes."
In the follow-up a second spaceship lands, but the aliens onboard are evil. They're searching for a stranded extraterrestrial named Zrek (aka ET), who is sending a call for "Help." The evil creatures are carnivorous and are an albino fraction (mutation) of the same civilization ET belongs to. The two separate groups have been at war for decades. Later in the script, Elliot and his friends are kidnapped and violently interrogated by Korel (the alien commander), demanding to know the whereabouts of Zrek. Thankfully, ET is aware of the attack and arrives to save the day.
Spielberg added that it will take a lot for him to direct an "ET" sequel. "I'm waiting for a dream project, but it will not be 'ET 2,'" he said. "Because I can't imagine ever making another one, unless I wake up one morning with a master thought."

cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package
elbow macaroni
2 (8 ounce) packages
mild Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (8 ounce) package
sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup
sour cream
3/4 cup
cottage cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
I added a few spices to make it a little more personal to our family (onion powder, garlic powder, little dijon mustard, little Frank's Hot Sauce, fresh ground pepper) but other than that, I kept to the recipe. I did not try this myself but I was told by my husband that the kids really liked it. They both had seconds. My husband said it was good but a little thick for him.
it was thick and creamy, very good, but I prefer a stronger flavor
7 Ratings
You dont actually need 2 bags of mild cheddar cheese, comes out fine! Delicious!
I loved how easy this was. My daughter and husband loved it. It turned out creamy and yummy. They don't like cottage cheese, so I substituted plain yogurt. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to use flour and butter to make a roux. Not having to do that step saved me time in the kitchen. Great recipe! I will definitely make this again!
This was really good stuff. Very very rich, however, so don't think you'll be able to eat a ton of this at one sitting. (Which is really good because as good as it is just from the oven, it's BETTER the next day.) Anyway, I made a half recipe, using GF pasta (Tinkyada penne since that's what I had). I subbed ricotta for the cottage cheese (what I had.) Used to much ricotta, but had already added half the sour cream. Used a whole egg (not half.) It worked fine! Then, for the cheese, I used a scale and started with 1/2 cup grated parmesan then added a mexican mix to the 16 oz mark (then removed about 1/2+ cup mexican mix for the topping.) I had to mix this with my hands, it was so thick! Then, putting the pasta in was difficult. However, SO WORTH IT. Very forgiving recipe, as you can see. I'll definitely make it again.
This dish was very easy to make and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I did add a little bit of half and half because the cheese mixture is very thick. Turned out great though.
I liked it OK, but next time I'd add all med. or sharp cheese, one more egg and a half cup of milk.

Murdochs Breeze Through Parliament Hearing on Hacking Scandal
The media's frenzy over Rupert Murdoch and the hacking scandal is just a ploy to sideline Fox News.
With the exception of a single chucklehead armed with a pie, no one laid a glove on News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch in his appearance Tuesday before a Parliamentary committee.
Before going any further, let me state, for the record, that I have written pieces for the Fox News opinion site, I have been a guest on a number of Fox News Channel programs, and I even have several Fox channels on my cable system. To the best of my recollection, however, I have never been compensated for any of it.
Nevertheless, it was with considerable interest that I watched Murdoch, along with his son James, answer questions posed by members of Parliament concerning what they might have known about the activities of reporters at the now-shuttered News of the World—something I cannot ever envision happening here in the United States, where the scandal is big news. [Vote now: Should U.K. police have arrested Rebekah Brooks?]
Both Murdochs deserve credit, in my judgment, for their candor and for the forthright way they have tried to shed light on what actually happened. Even though we do not yet have the full story about who knew what and when as pertains to unauthorized and apparently illegal intercepts—and I say apparently because I do not know for certain the terms of the British laws governing such things—of voice mails belonging to public figures and private citizens. The management appears to be doing all it can to both set things right and to rebuild trust with its readers.
This will be of no comfort to the "Fox Haters" out there who won't be happy until, to borrow a phrase from former U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson, Murdoch is frog-marched out of the News Corp. building in Manhattan under guard and in handcuffs. [Check out a roundup of this month's best political cartoons.]
While not exactly "much ado about nothing," it seems to come close. This does not excuse anyone's breaking of the law, but it seems to be a bit hypocritical for some U.S. news outlets to complain about what might have gone on at one of the many Murdoch-owned news organizations around the globe when they themselves have been quite eager to sometimes pay for and often publish information stolen or otherwise illegally obtained by others. I'm thinking specifically of the Pentagon Papers, the disclosures made to Woodward and Bernstein by what we now know to have been a senior official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of information taken from confidential FBI reports, and, more recently, of the classified documents obtained by WikiLeaks.
The liberal political media complex has seized on the scandal as a way to try and topple Murdoch and, in the process, sideline his Fox News Channel—which they regard as unabashedly conservative and, therefore, a threat to its political agenda. That's what this is really about—and no one should forget that.

BASEBALL: Former Park Vista player Kamm Washington leaves Floridaby Jason Lieser
Kamm Washington, an outfielder from Park Vista High School, left the Florida baseball team roughly a week ago and plans to transfer.
His mother, Cheryl Washington, said he has several possibilities as he looks for a new school.
"He left on his own free will," she said. "It was not a good fit."
A spokesperson for the Gators baseball program said only that Washington is not with the team in Hoover, Ala., for this week's SEC Tournament.
Washington was not available for comment.
Park Vista baseball coach Larry Greenstein said he heard rumors of Washington's situation, but had "no idea" what was true.
Washington was a sophomore this season and batted .284 with a home run and eight RBIs. He played in 33 of Florida's 56 games, starting 18 times.
As a freshman, Washington hit .308 in 27 games before a hamstring injury ended his season.

Published November 7, 2013
For better or worse, frogs are often associated with the French.
But now, sacre bleu! A team of archaeologists has recently discovered remains of one such amphibian—which had obviously been cooked in some manner—at an ancient site in Wiltshire, England, not far from Stonehenge.
The bone fragments were dated to nearly 10,000 years ago. "That's well before the first documentation of the French eating frog," says dig leader David Jacques of the University of Buckingham. "The earliest source for the French eating frogs legs is in The Annals of the Catholic Church from the 12th century."
The history of the frog as human food is murky at best. But Jacques says it's not surprising that hunter-gatherers would have eaten small animals like frogs and toads. "It may well be that they were a source of useful protein then and a convenient 'fast food' to cook."
So how did such humble fare end up on the most refined menus? Cookbook recipes indicate that frog legs were a part of haute cuisine as far back as the 18th century in France, says French food writer Benedict Beauge. But how they got there is hard to decipher, in part because few cookbooks were written in centuries past about food for the masses.
What is better understood is England's reputation for not liking frog. In the Oxford Companion to Food, author Alan Davidson (a Brit) writes that frog is "perceived by the English as a staple of the French diet." He adds: "Why the idea of eating frog should be repellent to the English in particular is mildly puzzling. It may have something to do with the ugly (to human beings) appearance of the creatures, or the thought that they emerge all slimy from evil-smelling ponds."
This notion is echoed in Larousse Gastronomique, which says frog legs have "usually filled the British with disgust."
Still, some culinary records do offer proof of frog being enjoyed in Britain.
For example, in his 17th-century cookbook The Accomplisht Cook, Englishman Robert May included a recipe for a pie made with live frogs that would "cause much delight" and spur the ladies to "skip and shreek."
And Larousse Gastronomique notes that when 19th-century chef Georges Auguste Escoffier worked at the Carlton Hotel in London, he convinced the Prince of Wales to allow frog legs at his table by calling them cuisses de nymphes aurore—legs of the dawn nymphs.
Not surprisingly, archaeologist Jacques says that his discovery isn't really about who ate frog legs first anyway. "Rather," he says, "it might be worth considering that all the people settled in Britain in the Mesolithic had their origins in France and surrounding areas."
Jacques also noted that Britain was still joined to mainland Europe until around 5500 B.C., when it separated from the continent. "Perhaps we should see this as an opportunity for entente cordiale—we were all French then!"
