Jean Thomas Memorial
Reflections on the Life of Jean Thomas
To believe that one can be academically successful is the right that every student should enjoy . These words written by Jean Thomas personified her philosophy of education to empower students to reach their full potential. She lived each day passionately fulfilling this credo.
Jean Delores Thomas was born in Mobile, Alabama. Her father was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
She moved to San Francisco at age 14 to live with her sister and attended Girls High School. After graduation she enrolled at San Francisco State University to major in Social Studies and minor in English. She graduated at age 19 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
After a year, she returned to SFSU to earn a teaching credential in social studies and English. Next she attended Southern Illinois University to complete an M.S. degree in Education; and later added a double major in Guidance and Counseling. She earned a doctorate in Education from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Jean had a second career and passion; that was music. She has been a vocal musician all of her adult life. At one point in her musical career, she was employed by the First Baptist Church in Menlo Park as its contralto soloist, and sang in various choirs throughout the Bay Area.
Her interest in working with Black youths led her to work as a vocational guidance counselor for 2 years with the St. Louis Urban League, where she disseminated information to high school counselors regarding job opportunities for Black students. Through the Urban League, she developed a program called Tomorrows Scientists and Technicians in several high schools. She designed the incentive program for Black students who demonstrated potential for science careers. The program was nationally advertised through the National Urban League and her proposal won the second place award in the national competition. This was a precursor to her vision to programs to help Blacks and other underrepresented students complete their education and pursue professional careers.
To use her words, Jean said: I have always wanted to be a part of the success of underrepresented students. I use my counseling background to achieve this.
After completing her masters degree, Jean worked as a high school counselor for nine years at Beaumont and Overfelt High Schools in San Jose. Aside from being a general counselor, Jean developed her interest in helping potential high school drop-outs, who were in the Ford Foundation Work Study Program. She founded and coordinated various Black History classes and Black Culture Week activities at Overfelt High School in San Jose.
Jeans transition from high school to Foothill College as a counseling professional was fueled by her desire to find a position and institution that would support her views regarding underrepresented minority students and educational success.
In her application to Foothill, she summarized her vision in these words:
I am very interested in the Multicultural Program at Foothill. I am impressed by the people, and its staff, and like the genuine multi-cultural philosophy on which it operates. I also like the idea of beginning a program based upon people, rather than setting up a program and shaping (students) to it.
Jean was a Counselor at Foothill College from 1969 until her passing on, June 15, 2005. It is here at Foothill that she rounded out her philosophy on counseling with a two dimensional priority to carry out her role: To be as accessible to and effective with all students as any general counselor, and especially, to carry out a unique role in the achievement of underrepresented minorities.
In keeping with her unique role, Jean co-founded the Minority Transfer Program, which celebrated the achievements of minority students graduating and transferring from Foothill.
While at Foothill, Jean saw the importance of the issues of access and retention for underrepresented students. She stated that access and retention cover a broad spectrum which cannot be addressed in totality with one individuals role. Thus, I have chosen to express my bias by focusing on what the institution can do to enhance how these students see themselves as achievers Thus, the institution must be willing to develop the enhancers that will make these students feel esteemed by the institution because they are working against a long history of low expectations.
From her position of purpose, Jean was an educator who did not let her limitations as one individual stand in the way of improving how underrepresented minorities saw their potential. Following this premise, she went on to found professional programs and services to assist in the academic success of underrepresented minority students.
The blending of her multicultural philosophy in education and her desire to foster the success of underrepresented students culminated in the creation of the Pass the Torch Program. When we talk about the Pass the Torch program, we honor Jeans spirit.
Jean founded the Pass the Torch Program in 1994. This program was her baby from inception, to development, to implementation, to institutionalization. In 2002, Pass the Torch pioneered as a community college program that has now been adopted by four year universities, and is exclusively designed for community college transfer students after they transfer to these institutions. It brought her vision to a crowning fruition.
Pass the Torch is a unique program funded by the Community College Chancellors Underrepresented Students Special Fund Grant, and the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). It represents a collaborative effort carried out by instructors, students (both leaders and members) and a team of dedicated classified staff. Jean described it as such Students are teamed with a student with whom they would have had no real contact otherwise. Now theyre supporting one another to make their teams a success As one student said of his team member: Despite our differences, we were able to communicate. To have been instrumental in the setting that allows this student from Hong Kong to say this about an African American male is very satisfying and it epitomizes my professional ambition.
This brings me back to the introductory quote To believe that one can be academically successful is the right that every student should enjoy
This was Jean Thomas, her life, her love, her home, her Foothill students and her legacy.

Sequential Circuits Prophet 600
The first commercially available synth to implement MIDI!! It's a fun synth. Its big brother is the legendary Prophet 5. The P600 is very affordable today and is a great buy. Models with the newest software will enjoy polyphonic MIDI implementation and up to 100 memory patches to store their own sounds! The sound of the Prophet 600 is brighter and harsher than that of a Juno 106 but still just as funky.
The P600 has two oscillators per voice with sawtooth, triangle and variable pulse waveforms. The oscillators can be individually tuned or synced together. Similar quality VCF and VCA sections from the Prophet 5 can be found here too! The P5's Poly-Mod section has also been passed onto the P600.
The P600 is extremely versatile and easy to use! Its best functions include the onboard arpeggiator, 2-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones. It has a cool glide effect and has very flexible modulation possibilities!

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Reminiscing about freshwater dorado
yes, you're right Juro... it's called "El tigre de los rios" or the river's tiger. More and more people are fishing for them with flies these days. Problem is the color of the water is not conducive to using flies in many places but...
It's a fierce beats that jumps like mad, and don't let those rows of teeth get you. Doesn't have the teeth of the African tiger fish that Paul Boote describes in "Somewhere Down the Crazy River" but it's a glorious fish. A bit shaped like salmon, wouldn't you say? Although specimens of that size probably don't exist anymore, the record is 40 kilos (kilos, not pounds!)
Those steelies are larger than your daughter (is she your daughter?) Beautiful fish. To think they run up a couple of rivers from the atlantic ocean... in Patagonia 8^)
Arrrghhhh... born to fish
RE:Reminiscing about freshwater dorado
According to what I've read, those are some mean muthas you are holding. Their stout salmon shape and powerful fins indicate a real battle... in fact I can see it on your face! I guess they are the national fish of Argentina, eh?
There's no shame in consuming fish where there are plenty and where the fish are well-used. I often kept a few hatchery steelhead to smoke for gifts at Christmas while I lived out in Seattle. These came from a river that produced up to 16,000 rod/reel caught steelhead in a season.
[img]http://flyfishingforum.com/images/Slabs2.jpg" border="0">
This is not to say that I did not practice C&R, I kept very few fish over several years. Those that I kept were fully utilized. <img src="http://184.108.40.206/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif[/img]
Strangely, I left New England for Seattle when striper populations were in bad shape. Since my return, I still have a very hard time keeping them even though they are plentiful. For all the legal fish I have caught, the only keepers I gutted last season belonged to clients. I'll probably eat a couple this year (we'll see).
Reminiscing about freshwater dorado
Salminus maxillosus! It was 27 years ago and I remember them as if it was yesterday... a perfect pair of 12 pounders. Too bad they didn't live. I got one foot in the old farthood door <g>

USGBC Lowers The Bar
On Wood & Forests In LEED
by Jason Grant • Sierra Club Forest Certification Team
On Wednesday, without public consultation or fanfare, USGBC lowered the bar on wood & forests in LEED, introducing a new Pilot Credit for Certified Products into its LEED Pilot Credit Library.After years of debate over which forest certification systems are worthy of LEED recognition, in this pilot credit, USGBC suddenly and without explanation ranks all forest certification systems - FSC, SFI, American Tree Farm, PEFC and CSA - as equivalent (see list of Pre-approved Certifications and Labels at the end of the pilot credit)FSC, the gold standard for forest certification and the reference standard for the Certified Wood Credit for the last 10 years of LEED-driven market transformation of the forest products industry, here is demoted to a "single attribute certification." Defined as "verification of a single attribute through 3rd party certification," FSC is ranked the same as certification for recycled content or bio-based material or recovered/reused material. Never mind the fact that FSC certification's 10 principles, 56 criteria, and hundreds of regional indicators address a myriad of issues, from ecological functions, to biodiversity, to threatened and endangered species and other high-conservation values, to pesticide use, to water quality, to community and worker welfare, to indigenous peoples' rights -- it's still "single attribute."FSC gets half the weight of "Type 1 Environmental Labels" defined as "voluntary, multi-criteria based third party program[s]...which authorize the use of environmental labels on products indicating overall environmental preferability of a product within a particular product category based on life cycle considerations." Pre-approved labels/programs include NSF's Sustainability Assessment for Resilient Floor Coverings, ULE's standard for Gypsum board, and CCD's standard for Energy Efficient Harmonic Cancelation Transformers. By this reckoning, dioxin-producing but above-average vinyl flooring, non-renewable but above-average gyp-board, and energy-saving harmonic cancelation transformers (whatever those are) are all twice as green as certified sustainably harvested wood.Note that fully 30 standards are pre-approved in this pilot credit - not including all five forest certification systems. And this is before USGBC's new "Standard for Standards" which will be a "tool for decision making in the evaluation of certifications, labels and standards included in LEED" has even been released. One wonders who will be left out when the Standard for Standards is actually finished, or if there will be even token stakeholder input into the selection criteria or process. Perhaps they should dispense with the Standard for Standards and go with the Krusty Brand Seal of Approval instead, with that catchy slogan: "It's not just good - it's good enough!"FSC also gets equal weight to a "self-declared LCA" and half the weight of a "Third Party Certified Type III EPD: Industry Wide," the latter defined as a voluntary, third party reviewed LCA-based Environmental Product Declaration in conformance with a Product Category Rule document and program operator for industry wide declarations of a product category." No doubt anticipating this development, the Canadian forest products industry has developed PCRs for wood and has just rolled out EPDs for cedar decking and siding - many more are sure to follow. Never mind the fact that the program operator for this EPD (FPInnovations) wrote to me that "[w]e have been engaged in LCA for wood products since 1991, evolving towards EPD's last year. This is motivated by our sense that the green building marketplace is expecting better, science-based information on the environmental footprint of materials. This is a separate issue from sustainable forestry practices, which is not a topic in our research program."How convenient - LCA, PCRs and EPDs that don't address the environmental impacts of logging - to say nothing of the social implications. Now that's new 'n' improved green!Under the heading "Background Information," the authors of this pilot credit write that its "purpose is to communicate the difference between the levels of sophistication [of third party certifications and labels] in regard to more comprehensive perspectives of sustainability...The credit rewards greater transparency and knowledge about product life-cycles." Yeah, rank all the forest certification systems equally, when the expert research you contracted with Yale University revealed significant and substantive differences between them - way to communicate the differences in levels of sophistication! And oh yes, let's marginalize standards that actually require performance well above the status quo relative to LCA-based approaches that require no change in performance - all in the name of greater transparency.And let's talk for a second about LCA - LCA, whose standard models don't address site-specific ecological impacts, human toxicity, or anything that isn't measurable or included in mass-averaged data sets that as often as not are imported from Europe or elsewhere (at this point North American LCI data is relatively incomplete). LCA, which to be useful for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that provide apples-to-apples comparisons of different building materials, requires the development of hundreds if not thousands of Product Category Rules, many of which have yet to be started. LCA and its step-sister, Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), which disclose only those environmental impacts that the current tools are designed to measure and report. Significant environmental impacts of specific products or industries are often disguised or left out because the underlying data is highly aggregated and generalized, and, in most LCIA approaches, impact categories are narrow, limited in number, and sometimes irrelevant to the product being assessed.
And don't forget: there is NO minimum performance standard in the world of LCAs and EPDs. The assumption is that transparency alone will be sufficient to drive market transformation.I've nothing against greater transparency, but I challenge this assumption. We still need leadership standards!Under this pilot credit, if the vinyl industry finishes a PCR and a manufacturer of vinyl flooring produces a 3rd party certified product-specific EPD for its products, then these will be worth 4 times as much as FSC-certified sustainably harvested wood - regardless of the environmental impacts of the vinyl flooring. Again, no minimum performance threshold is required. Tell us how much dioxin you are producing, and congratulations! You've earned a point!This is the triumph of engineering over environmentalism and common sense.Who is responsible for this travesty? Is it a small coterie of USGBC insiders? Is it a massive bureaucratic super-tanker that is drifting away from the ideals that once anchored it, pushed by the winds of trade association, industry and certifier/SDO/LCA/EPD lobbying?Is this a foretaste of what we can expect with the release of the next iteration of LEED 2012? Is this the brave new LEED we have been waiting for?Many of us cling to the hope that LEED will remain a leadership standard, not just in building and carbon bean-counting, but in forest management, ecological conservation, human health, social responsibility and other important areas that have little to do with LCA but everything to do with sustainability. We are trying to organize against the drift toward lower standards and "half-cycle-analysis" tunnel vision. If you care about these issues, please join one of these groups:To arms, ye greens of the REAL green building movement!And special thanks if you actually read to the end of this rant -Sierra Club Forest Certification Team

CB Base Antennas
A CB base antenna is designed for use in a setting where the radio is stationary, so the antenna can be much larger, taller, and mounted higher up. Base antennas range in size from 3 to 18 feet tall. Without much effort, you can set up a CB base antenna to communicate for 20 - 30 miles. Of course, you aren't going to be able to mount an 18 foot antenna on a 20 foot post in an apartment or community with strict HOA rules. For these situations we have indoor base antennas or low profile base antennas.
Since base station antennas do not require a large metal ground plane like mobile antennas, you have a little more freedom when mounting them. Just be sure to stay away from power lines and questionable tree limbs for safety sake!
It is worth noting that a CB base antenna can be used with any CB radio. You can add a 12 volt power supply to any mobile radio to use it as a base, and a BNC to PL259 adapter will connect any handheld to them.
For more information on CB antennas, see our guide to choosing the best CB antenna

HSCR Home
The Human Stem Cell Research (HSCR) Advisory Committee was enacted in 2003 through SB 1260 (Ortiz, 2003) (Chapter 506, Statutes of 2003) Health and Safety Code Section 125118.5 and was established in 2005 when 13 specialists were nominated to advise the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on the technical, ethical and legal issues surrounding human stem cell research. The first meeting of the HSCR Advisory Committee was held in February 2006 to discuss the development of statewide guidelines for human stem cell research. A draft of the statewide guidelines was posted on the CDPH website in November 2006 for a public comment period of five weeks. The HSCR Advisory Committee thoroughly addressed the complex issues brought forth through public comments at the December 2006 meeting and revised the proposed guidelines accordingly. CDPH finalized the statewide guidelines for human stem cell research in June 2007.
Although the provision in Health and Safety Code Section 125118.5 that required the establishment of the HSCR Advisory Committee sunset on January 1, 2007, the HSCR Program extended the tenure of the HSCR Advisory Committee members. The HSCR Advisory Committee continues to meet to provide advisement to the Department on many of the evolving issues in stem cell research, and in the continual update of the human stem cell research guidelines in response to developments in stem cell science.

Fields memoir chronicles career of pioneering administrator
Posted February 9, 2006; 03:42 p.m.
In his recently published memoir, Carl Fields describes the
difficulty of trying to decide whether or not to accept a job at
Princeton. It was 1964 and Fields, an African American, had to weigh
carefully the prospect of working at a university that had just 12
black undergraduates and four black graduate students.
While it was no easy decision to come to Princeton, once here, Fields quickly made an impact and became the first high-level black administrator at an Ivy League school. Reflecting his many contributions to the University, the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding was named in his honor.
Titled "Black in Two Worlds," the first half of Fields' memoir recounts his seven years at Princeton, and the second half describes his work at the fledgling University of Zambia in Africa.
The book was published posthumously -- Fields died in 1998 -- by Princeton-based Red Hummingbird Press. Excerpts from the manuscript previously have appeared in the Princeton Alumni Weekly.
Fields started his Princeton career as assistant director of student aid and, in 1968, was promoted to assistant dean of the college. In his memoir, he relays how determined he was upon his arrival to not be pigeonholed as an adviser only to black students. Once he became known as an adviser to all students, he worked tirelessly to introduce policies and practices aimed at increasing the enrollment and retention of African-American and other minority students.
Among his many accomplishments, Fields pioneered a Family Sponsor Plan
with the local African-American community to provide support for
incoming black students; he helped students form the first black
student group on campus, which soon was followed by other ethnic
organizations; and he was a driving force behind the founding of the
Third World Center, which in 2002 was renamed the Fields Center.
In a foreword to the book, President Emeritus Robert Goheen, who was at the helm of the University during Fields' tenure, writes that by the time Fields left Princeton in 1971 for Zambia, the University had "come a long way toward being an institution in which young men and women of whatever race or persuasion could move about freely and with confidence, intermingling or not as they chose, being regarded and regarding each other as equals."
Book launch, Black History Month events set
In honor of
its namesake and to celebrate Black History Month, the Fields Center is
hosting a book launch of "Black in Two Worlds" at 2 p.m. on Saturday,
Feb. 18.
Participating will be members of the University community and the Fields family. The Association of Black Princeton Alumni, the Princeton Human Services Commission, Red Hummingbird Press and the Fields Center are presenting the event.
The Fields Center also will be hosting a variety of events in honor of Black History Month. A schedule of events is available online.

I've finally got myself focusing on project work, rather than randomly surfing the net and being constantly distracted by tangential things. (It seems to be a summer thing.)
So now, I've actually started real work on my Pyrewall project. Basically it's a personal firewall for Linux. I'm aiming to develop something like ZoneAlarm, only with a better interface (ZA has some nice features, but the UI sucks IMHO).
I'm taking firewall rules from the O'Reilly book "Building Internet Firewalls", and writing them in a new spec language to actually make them readable. I considered XML, but it was a PITA to write in, and shell scripts that call ipchains are to low level. So basically I've designed a high-level firewall specification language. I've now written a parser for it, and I'm about to hook it up to some Python code.
I've also written a kernel module which does rule-based validation of socket calls. It hooks into the socket syscall and intercepts calls to connect() and listen(), and will refuse or allow based on the rules (which are currently hardcoded for testing). Then I obviously have to hook up the front end rules and the back end kernel module, which is the subject of my current research. I'm looking at using something like netlink currently.
I should really start posting some code - I've got a SourceForge project and I've registered a domain. Now there's actually some code there, I'm going to do the "publish early and often" thing...

Possible Election Misconduct Reported
Posted By News On @ 11:04 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
A case of possible election misconduct has been reported in Washington County.Auditor Dan Widmer says this possible case was brought to his attention in connection with the solicitation of absentee ballot voting for the District 1 Washington County Supervisor's race. He says a letter that was undated and unsigned was sent to the residents of District 1 having enclosed absentee ballot request forms.
Widmer continues to say the letter requested the voter to check the box for primary election, choose a political party and then return the form to his office. The letter also asks the voter to vote for a specific candidate once the absentee ballot has been received.
Widmer notes the letter does not say who drafted it, sent it or was responsible for its creation. He says after consulting with Washington County Attorney Larry Brock, he feels this mailing breaks two sections of the Iowa Code and constitutes election misconduct.
Widmer says if any voter in the county received a similar letter or has any information regarding the person or group responsible for the letter to contact his office at (319) 653-7715 or Washington County Attorney Larry Brock's office at (319) 653-7746.

More than 1,200 middle schoolers dug into science experiments as part of the 2009 Science and Engineering Expo that took place at four sites on campus March 19. The event is intended to counter flagging interest in those fields by stimulating students' curiosity at a crucial time in their intellectual development. At "Exploration Stations" like these, students could get an up-close view of science, including a peek at fluorescing proteins, part of an activity highlighting Nobel Prize-winning science.

On campus, science comes alive for young students
Posted March 19, 2009; 04:25 p.m.
With a turn of her wrist, Mandy Kauffman wafted a test tube containing some clear goop with a pungent odor before the faces of three students and watched to see what they would do next.
"It's not bad," said Tamara Baldwin, tentatively. "It smells like an air freshener!" said Enjolie Borges. "I liked it," said Jacqueline Smith afterward.
For the three seventh-graders from Gregory Elementary School in Trenton, this close encounter with the substance, benzaldehyde, was their first brush with the concept of chemotaxis, the mysterious phenomeon by which organisms are either drawn to or repelled by chemical signals.
Certain kinds of worms, it turns out, really like this stuff. And there's some deep science in that, which is where Kauffman, a Princeton University graduate student, is leading students when she shocks them with the odor of the worm-luring substance.
The girls were touring hands-on science exhibits like this one in the Icahn Laboratory as part of the campus-wide 2009 Science and Engineering Expo. The event drew more than 1,200 middle school students to exhibits in McCosh Hall, Dillon Gym and McDonnell Hall, in addition to Icahn.
The idea of the expo is to make science come alive for kids at a crucial developmental stage. In Icahn, students splattered petri dishes with pondwater and constructed models of viruses from marshmallows. They got an up-close view of science, including a peek at fluorescing proteins, part of an activity highlighting Nobel Prize-winning science. And they could learn about malaria, dengue virus and sheep brains, too.
The dengue virus may be deadly but students can safely learn about it by constructing toothpick-and-marshmallow models of its structure. Active interactions for students, from constructing viral structures with marshmallows to watching worms crawl toward a substance, make concepts come alive for students and engage them in topics, educators say.
"I think showing students actual experiments helps them to realize that everything in their science textbooks is based on research, which may help to get them to ask more questions about what they're being told in the future, rather than take everything at face value," Kauffman said.
She's perfectly willing to explain chemotaxis and her own experiments using roundworms.
But it's a bit more thrilling, she said, to watch chemotaxis in action. She starts by grabbing visitors' attention with the smelly test tube. Then she poses questions. What will happen, she asks, if she drops some benzaldehyde into a petri dish containing roundworms?
Peeking into the microscope, students could see worms crawl in unison toward the drops and witness science in action. "They really get a kick out of seeing crawly worms," she said.
The student visitors agreed.
"When you see more things, it helps you know so much more," Baldwin said. "This gives you a sense of what science is."
Pondwater can offer insights into the world of microscopic organisms, Princeton Charter School students learned. Under the tutelage of Princeton research specialist JoEllen Beresh, students withdrew water samples, sprinkled them on petri dishes and watched the squirming, minute inhabitants through microscopes.
To Manuel Llinás, an assistant professor of molecular biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, such tactile and upfront experiences are precisely what are needed to involve students in science. "Most kids are not going to see these types of experiments or equipment anywhere else," said Llinas, surveying the scene in Icahn. "How many people have microscopes or anything like this at home?"
JoEllen Beresh, a Princeton research specialist, said she found that students were mesmerized by the simple observation of drops of pond water under a microscope. She had collected some samples earlier from a pond near the Graduate College. "It makes you appreciate nature more," said Allison Hubert, a seventh-grader from the Princeton Charter School, after taking a peek through Beresh's microscope.
And there's a joy to connecting with students and motivating them to find the excitement in science, according to Alex Ochoa, a graduate student, who was narrating science facts to students watching a biology video on a large display wall. As a Mexican-American, he said, he is particularly conscious of being a role model and wants to inspire other minority youth to become scientists.
The expo was sponsored by the Princeton Molecular Biology Outreach Program and the Princeton Center for Complex Materials.
Alex Ochoa, a Princeton graduate student, explained the wonders of a living cell to a fascinated student from Randolph Middle School and his mother by projecting a video on a large display wall.

The other thing Bon
If my son was Gay
I would still love him with all my heart. But its still wrong behavior. Just because it is my son it should't change what God has stated ,it wouldn't change a thing about what I thought about homosexuality and it wouldn't change what God thinks about it. But both of us would still love my son greatly.
here is how we can look at this.
when one of my children constantly does things against my will especially out of rebellion I am not as motivated to bless him as much as I would if he did every thing I asked him to. God works the same way. The more you try to do what he says the more his door of blessings open,,,He is just waiting to give as much as we want,,,its us who keeps our foot on the hose ,,,not God

By From scool reports
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jonathon Crawford threw a complete game shutout and Florida's offense capitalized on some oppotunities to defeat No. 11 Ole Miss 7-0 on Saturday.
The series concludes at noon today.
Mike Mayers (2-3) took the loss for the Rebels, allowing six runs – four of them earned – on nine hits with a walk and a strikeout through 51⁄3 innings of work as the Gators took advantage of infield hits to build the early lead before tacking on four more runs late.
Crawford (1-4)held the Rebels to two hits with eight strikeouts and two walks.
"That was definitely the best outing of the season for Crawford tonight," said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. "We had a couple of opportunities when the game was still intact and if we could have gotten the big hit then we could have put some pressure on him, but he was too good.
"We have to come back out (today) and play with more energy," Bianco said. "That's what it's all about in this league is your ability to bounce back. We've done it before this season, but we have to do it again and come out with the chance to win the series on Sunday."
Florida (12-16, 3-5 SEC) struck first, putting together a rally on a pair of tough plays for the Rebels (23-5, 4-4) as Justin Shafer golfed a high chopper that died between the mound and third to lead off the inning for the first base hit. Vikash Ramjit then popped up a bunt with one out that came out of Mayers' glove when he hit the ground after diving to make the catch, putting two men on base. Connor Mitchell then singled through the right side to bring a run home and put Florida on the board.
Mike Fahrman then snuck a two-RBI double down the first base line just past a lunging Orvis to push the Florida lead out to 3-0 before the Rebels would get out of the inning.
Rally killer
The Rebels threatened in the fourth inning, getting the two leadoff men on base before a double play and a strikeout squelched the rally attempt.
Ole Miss had another chance to cut into the lead in the sixth inning, loading the bases with two outs on a walk of Mathis, a single from Auston Bousfield and a walk of Austin Anderson. The Gators' starter responded with a big full count pitch and struck out the Rebels' cleanup hitter to end the threat, however, and maintain the 3-0 lead heading to the bottom of the inning.
Florida's Harrison Bader homered to lead off the fourth and put the Gators up 4-0.

Rhode Island College
600 Mt. Pleasant Avenue
Providence, RI 02908-1991
Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Gifts of stocks and bonds that have increased in value (and which you have owned for more than a year) provide greater tax benefits than cash gifts and the benefits are two-fold. Your charitable deduction is based on the securities' full fair market value on the day the gift is made, not your original cost. In addition, you completely avoid all capital gains tax on any appreciation. To request instructions on transferring a gift of securities, please call the office at (401) 456-8105.
Gifts of Real Estate
Real estate can be used to make a meaningful gift to the College and still provide lifetime benefits to the donor. Many people own real estate that has increased in value several times over the original purchase price. This gain, when realized in a sale, is taxed by the federal government and in some states by the state tax. If the real estate is not used as a primary residence, it does not qualify for the one-time exemption from capital gains tax for owners over the age of 55.
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match employees' charitable gifts, sometimes doubling or tripling the donation. Some companies also match gifts from employee spouses and retirees. Please contact the appropriate office in your company. Fill out and return the matching gift form to:

Very Unique Watch
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
This was my first Nixon purchase and I like this watch a lot. It fits fairly well and I love the design and color; although the color is much more yellow than green like I thought it would be from the pictures. I still really like it though.
Too beautiful but packaging lacks far
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
Gorgeous watch! Gotten it as a gift for my girlfriend who loves it at first sight. It came with no disappointment to our choice, Mint Julep, as the colours was deeper and crispier that we would have thought. It is like a jade jewellery worn!
HOWEVER, the plastic frame holding up the watch in the box was terribly broken to 3 pieces! It was no wonder and we were utterly disappointed with packaging; there were no air cushions or foam fillers to prevent knocks from delivering concerns. Could not deservedly earn the 5th star for that. Much improvements needed.
Love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought the tortoise watch about 2-3 years ago and it is still going strong. All summer I wear it while swimming and boating in the ocean and fresh water, plus gardening. It takes a beating and it still looks new. I wear it almost everyday and it looks great with jeans or other casual clothing. It fits great and I always get compliments on it. I would not hesitate to recommend this watch.
Had to return, 3 times
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought this as the black tortoise and immediately loved it. SO stylish and cute. The clasp broke, so I sent it back to Nixon to fix. They returned it and the clasp broke again, so I retuned it to Nixon and this time they replaced the clasp. I started wearing it again and the second hand gets stuck on the 10 second mark. I had the battery replaced but it didn't help. The watch does not work. I'm so sad to send it back as I really loved it but I've had the watch 6 months and it's been at the manufacturer/jeweler for at least 3 months time.
Perfect Everyday Watch!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I got this watch in the white acetate about a month ago and its my new favorite accessory. The silver details are light enough to make it go well with silver or gold, black or brown, everything! Because it isn't metal, it's light enough on my wrist, but the acetate material feels sturdy. And the waterproof is great for when I forget it's on and jump in the ocean with it. I can dress this watch down for a day off, or dress it up for my job. I get compliments on it all the time! No complaints at all! I love Nixon!
High Quality - good looking watch!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I got this as a birthday gift for my mom & she LOVED it! She has super tiny wrists & had to take a few links out, but the great thing about this watch is that it doesn't overpower her wrist.
The tortoise color will go with most anything - making it a go-to watch that it easily dressed up or down!
Nixon Time Teller Acetate Watch - Women'
This watch is really great looking, HOWEVER you can't tell time with it because the hour and minute hands are black! They blend right in with the background and so it becomes nearly impossible to tell the time if there isn't enough light.
Its a Nixon
Of course its a great watch and has an awesome look to it.
Solid Style
This is the only watch I wear. I have it in the Tortoise shell and it's really cute. The tortoise shell isn't overkill or tacky like some patterns can be.
The watch isn't hugely bulky. I got some links removed and it fits perfectly. I have an average wrist and it doesn't look ridiculously large on it.
I've taken the watch swimming with me a few times and so far it's withstood the water test. I take it off in the shower and hot tub (steam!) as a preventative measure, despite the 2 year warranty.
Overall: sturdy, stylish, and perfectly sized.
Do the hands light up in the dark? I cannot find a watch here with that quality.
What are the measurements?
Case Height: 40 mm
Case Width: 39.25 mm
Case Depth: 10 mm
Band Width: 1 in
Hey I've got a really small wrist and was...
Hey I've got a really small wrist and was just wondering if you could shorten this watch. I didn't know with the material it's made of if it was possible. Also if it is can you do it yourself or do you have to take it to a jeweler? Thanks!
yep, i have a small wrist too. I am getting 3 links taken out. This watch also comes with extra links to make it bigger (if you need it).
Is the time teller watercolor acetate the...
Is the time teller watercolor acetate the same color as the watercolor acetate that is on Nixons website? They are 2 totally different colors from this picture to the one on Nixon. Thanks
Can some one discribe slightly more what...
Can some one discribe slightly more what kind of material this watch is? I'm not familiar with acetate, I tried to look it up online a bit and couldn't come up with much.. Is it like a lighter plastic material, or a heavier stone/metal? Thanks!
Hey Challenger, acetate is a type of polycarbonate. Think of it as super-deluxe plastic. Looks great, very scratch resistant and light weight compared to metal.

Pushing Obama's Arc Toward Peace
Posted by Medea Benjamin in Peace, Democracy and Human Rights, Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 13th November, 2012 | 2 Comments
The peace movement, decimated during the first Obama term because so many people were unwilling to be critical of President Obama, has a challenge today to re-activate itself, and to increase its effectiveness by forming coalitions with other sectors of the progressive movement. Medea Benjamin explains.

Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death and disability in California. A major risk factor for heart disease and stroke is high blood pressure (or hypertension). Ninety percent of adults will develop high blood pressure in their lifetimes. Consumption of salt in the diet is directly linked with high blood pressure. Medical experts estimate that reducing salt intake by three grams could save as many as 8,800 lives in California each year. Such a daily reduction could also reduce the number of new cases of coronary heart disease by 11 percent and new cases of stroke by as much as 15 percent each year.
Facts:Our bodies need salt to function, but too much can be harmful. Our daily salt intake has increased by more than 50% over the past few decades. Sodium is the component of salt that affects blood pressure. 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium (one teaspoon) per day; however, if you are in the following population groups, you should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day (approximately 2/3 teaspoon), and meet the potassium recommendation (4,700 mg/day) with food:
By limiting salt intake we can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Even people with normal blood pressure can benefit from limiting their salt intake.
Most people consume two to three times more sodium than is recommended in the current dietary guidelines, but this is not by choice. Only 11 percent of the salt in our food products comes from what we add; 77 percent of the salt we consume is added to food during processing. Thus, it is extremely difficult for individuals to reduce salt intake on their own.
The cardiovascular health of Californians can be improved on many fronts. The reduction of sodium content in manufactured and restaurant foods is a key component for success and one that lies within industry's control. Americans eat 30 percent more packaged food than fresh food, and they consume more packaged food than individuals living in nearly all other countries.
The National Salt Reduction Initiative (NSRI) is a national effort to prevent heart attacks and strokes by reducing the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant foods. The NSRI goal is to reduce salt intake by 20 percent over the next five years, with a 10-year goal of a 40-percent reduction in population salt intake. The California Department of Public Health is a supporter of the NSRI.
Eating less sodium can help prevent, lower, or even control blood pressure. The DASH plan (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), demonstrated that high blood pressure can be significantly reduced by a healthy eating plan. The DASH plan is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy foods. It also focuses on reducing salt and sodium intake.
