Now that the rules are different, I'm not sure if I want the first OT Super Bowl (but they're not all that different, I guess). But a 2-0 game would be awesome!
Things that haven't happened in a SB. Yet.
- overtime
- shutout
- 4 TD scored
- coach ejected
- snow falling ON the field
- ball hits bird in-flight
- Stanford band multiple laterals on last play to win the game
- 2-pt conversion to win game late in 4th qtr
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
We haven't had a fifth down either.
We will probably have the snow fall next year.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
Do you mean 4 by the same guy? Doubt it.
I'm hoping for a double ejection!
Also doubtful.
Since I haven't heard that Stanford will or will not be there I can't really comment.
That'd be pretty cool, but I doubt that will be the case.
Pro Bowl! Yeah! Woo-hoo!
I predict the Bayou Crickets will beat the Oakland Apathetics in this "all-star" "game" today. After Manti Teo does the coin flip. Or does he...?
It was kinda cool years back; now it stinks. Why? #1: moved from after the Super Bowl when fans or players might actually care about one more pro football game, instead of the who-cares feeling before the bigger game, and when several of the top players are out (playing in the SB in a week, just lost the conference title game, became "injured" somehow, etc.). #2: salaries are so high that the "measly" $50K for winning isn't motivation to play hard anymore (if you're so worried about injuries, don't let players out of your sight ever: at home [video cameras], on vacation [hire a PI], doing anything physical anywhere [hire a valet or bodyguard], going out to clubs or anyplace where they might meet another human being [contracts specifically prohibit]). C'mon.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
The Pro Bowl sucks, I'd say its between that and the NHL all star game as to which is the biggest joke in pro sports. For my money baseball's all star game is the best.
I thought moving it to the off week would make it better but the players just don't care anymore. Far too many opt out, the game is a joke and should be dropped.
Interesting non-SB and non-deer antler pro football news: Hall of Fame annoucements (not surprised: J. Ogden and L. Allen; surprised: W. Sapp in, J. Bettis and E. DeBartolo not; about time: C. Carter, B. Parcells), awards (AD for MVP and offensive, easy pick of Watt for defensive, RG3 for rookie).
And for fun, find a lead-in line to fit this ROJ exchange, as it relates to the Brothers Harbaugh:
"I understand. When he comes back, I won't get in the way."
"No, it's not like that. He's my brother."
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Five thousand sea creatures, including sharks and stingrays, are finding a new home in Kansas City, as the new $15 million SEA LIFE Aquarium finally opens its doors tomorrow at Crown Center. There are 30 display tanks including a massive ocean tank with a walk through underwater tunnel where visitors are surrounded by fish and sharks. A Legoland Discovery Center is being built next door, but that won't open for a few more weeks.
KCPT partnered with the new SEA LIFE Aquarium on a journalism contest where we invited high school broadcasting students to cover the arrival of the fish to their new home in Kansas City. Using the theme "The Fish Are Coming," ten high school teams put together a two minute news account about the sea creatures arriving at the aquarium.
The winning high school team would have their report featured on The Local Show and we are pleased to announce the winner is…Park Hill South High School.
Winners of the SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium and KCPT Video Journalism Contest: Park Hill South High School and the reporting team of Sung Huh, Jacob Orlowski and Raymond Hadlock. Congratulations!

A U.S. group representing victims is denouncing the apology that the Christian Brothers order issued to victims there and in Canada.
"Church abuse apologies are virtually meaningless. Whether long or short, clear or vague, prompt or delayed, they don't protect a single child, expose a single predator or uncover a single cover up," said David Clohessy of St. Louis, director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
The comments came in a news release issued after The Telegram reported today online that officials of the order in New Jersey had sent apology letters to some 420 victims, including former residents of the Mount Cashel orphanage in St. John's.
"Apologies like this are smart public relations and legal defense maneuvers. And it's tragic that they often come only after Catholic institutions are sued and Catholic officials are forced to act," Clohessy said.
"Virtually every step the Christian Brothers have taken about abuse have been forced on them by wounded victims, aggressive journalists, determined police, skilled prosecutors or outraged donors and Catholics. We are not impressed by the Christian Brothers' 'promise to ensure it never happens again.' If they were sincere, we'd see tangible, proven preventative steps taken voluntarily, not lip service and empty 'policies' that are ignored or violated."
Clohessy called on the Catholic lay order to permanently post on its websites the names, photos, whereabouts and work histories of "every proven, admitted and credibly accused child molesting cleric."
"And they should immediately demote and publicly denounce every single cleric or lay employee who ignored or concealed child sex crimes, while putting every offending cleric or lay employee in remote, secure, independently run treatment centers so they'll be away from kids," Clohessy said.
"When these steps and others are taken, then we'll believe in the alleged sincerity of Christian Brothers officials."
(Earlier story)
Christian Brothers apologize with 'shame and revulsion'
Victims of sexual and physical abuse at the former Mount Cashel orphanage are among those receiving a long-owed apology from the Christian Brothers that takes direct and unequivocal blame.
"Words cannot capture the depth of our regret and sorry for the abuse inflicted on children entrusted to our care by members of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers in the United States and Canada," reads the apology obtained by The Telegram.
"We understand that in place of safety, security, and well-being, many children were instead subjected to physical and/or sexual abuse at the hands of some of our Brothers."
"We are genuinely sorry and offer a sincere apology to all those who have been directly or indirectly caused to suffer as a result of the deplorable actions of these Brothers. Similarily, we are gravely disappointed in the actions taken by some in past leadership in failing to respond appropriately to allegations against our Brothers. Children should have always been treated as our highest priority, and it is with heavy hearts that we express shame and revulsion for the abuse and ill-treatment suffered by those who, as children in our care, should have been protected."
The full content of the one-page letter — signed by the New Jersey-based order's province leader Brother Hugh O'Neill and deputy province leader Brother Kevin Griffith is included here.
The letters have gone out to some 420 victims in Canada and the U.S. who were involved in the recently concluded winding up of assets of the The Christian Brothers Institute and The Christian Brothers of Ireland, Inc.
Some may not have gotten the letters yet as they are still arriving in the mail.
The Mount Cashel victims include claimants from residents of the orphanage as late as the early 80s and as early as the 1940s.
"The wording of this is not an evasive apology," said Mount Pearl lawyer Geoff Budden, who represents about 90 clients.
Past apologies may have acknowledged regret for what victims feel they suffered, but this one acknowledges the Catholic lay order was complicit, he said.
Budden said the reaction of clients has been mixed with some expressing anger and others taking solace in the acknowledgment and the promise to ensure it never happens again. Though it doesn't run orphanages, members of the order still teach.
"There are guys here who are not really prepared to forgive. They are still very angry. No apology is going to make them feel very different," Budden said.
"Others have taken this as an acknowledgement by the Brothers."
He also said he believes in the sincerity of O'Neill and Griffith, who have met with a number of the survivors.
In February, compensation amounts were decided in a settlement reached last year for individual victims of abuse that include former residents of the Mount Cashel orphanage. The settlement affected some 160 local victims of sexual abuse, mostly residents of the former Mount Cashel orphanage in St. John's. Some 10 per cent of the victims were other school children.
The settlement includes a $16.5-million cash payment from Catholic lay order the Irish Christian Brothers and one of its insurers and affects more than 420 men and women in the U.S. and Canada who say they were molested as children by members of the Christian Brothers.
The boys orphanage was closed in 1990 and the building demolished in 1992.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – I've never really considered "North Dallas Forty" a Hollywood classic, but I can't help but recall that turbulent inside look at a late '70s NFL locker room when pondering the current state of Ole Miss basketball.
In one scene, a player yells this to his coach: "Every time I call it a game you call it a business, and when I call it a business you call it a game."
He was right on both counts – and while a lot of things have changed through the years, a lot of things have not.
The business end of amateur athletics may soon come into play for Ole Miss. Athletics director Ross Bjork could find himself in the unique situation of deciding whether to retain a coach that only weeks ago became the winningest in school history.
After the Rebels' 63-62 loss at South Carolina, Bjork told the Clarion-Ledger that his focus was on the team, both coaches and players, and he has held fast to that topic.
This is the final week of the regular season, but the Rebels basically removed themselves from the NCAA tournament discussion – short of winning the SEC tournament next week in Nashville – with their 73-67 loss at Mississippi State, like South Carolina, a sub-200 RPI team.
For all that Kennedy has accomplished, he has not made the NCAA tournament, and that's one of the most important measurements of success in his chosen profession.
It's not an unreasonable expectation for Ole Miss, even with the school's meager history in the sport.
Ole Miss fired football coach Ed Orgeron in 2007 the day after a failed fourth-and-1 attempt played a role in a comeback win by Mississippi State.
Many focused on that play, but the wheels were no doubt set in motion three weeks prior against Northwestern State. That's when they opened the gates at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and attracted only 23,283 fans.
You can't do that. It's embarrassing and unprofitable.
Two of Bjork's last major decisions as AD at Western Kentucky before taking the Ole Miss job involved the firing of basketball coaches, both men's and women's. Circumstances were different, but a common theme in both decisions was fan support for the program.
Like most programs, attendance and atmosphere are both better when things are going well – as evidenced by the string of sellouts and the 6-0 SEC start. A statement on the level of current support may be made this evening in today's 8 p.m., tip against Alabama.
Also factoring into Bjork's decision will be support in the ongoing fund-raising push for a new arena.
Most people would rather focus on the one shining moment aspect of March Madness than on the business end of college basketball.
The Rebels' likely absence from March Madness may intersect with the support issue to make Bjork focus on the business end.

Korg MS-20 mini
Many of the iconic brands in this industry have attempted to release modern versions of synthesizers from their vintage series of the past, and most have failed to do it right (we're looking at you Roland!). Until now, that is.
Korg's most famous and coveted monophonic synthesizer is the MS-20, first introduced in 1978, and it has been reborn as the MS-20 mini. Korg enlisted the same engineers who designed the original MS-20 to recreate it in a body that is smaller by 86% of the original size, but looks and sounds the same. This is an authentic reproduction of the original specifications of the MS-20, and it delivers the same powerful sound, from deep, growling basses to crisp, rounded leads.
The MS-20 mini has the exact same synthesis as the original: two analog oscillators with ring modulation, and envelope generators with delay and hold. The VCA (Voltage Controlled Amp) maintains the original basic design, but has been modified to produce less noise.
Best of all, the powerful MS-20 filter is alive and well in the MS-20 mini, providing both high-pass and low-pass with peak/resonance. This is the same reincarnated version of the filter that was also used on Korg's Monotron and Monotribe. Of special note, half-way through the production lifecycle of the original MS-20, the filter circuit was changed; the MS-20 mini uses the earlier KORG35 filter circuit which has been considered the better version of the two.
The ESP (External Signal Processor) allows external audio signals to be used with the MS-20 mini, just as the original allowed. For example, the pitch or volume of an external audio source could be used to control the synthesizer. The distinctive and flexible patching system enables the creation of complex sounds by allowing the rerouting of both modulation and audio (both the internal oscillators and external audio). Flow-charts printed on the front panel (meticulously reproduced from the original) help users of any experience level understand how to route signals and produce a variety of sound possibilities.
The most obvious difference between the Mini and the original, is the size. It is 86% of the original size, and the 37 keys of the keyboard are mini-keys. Patch cables/plugs have also been shrunk down from 1/4" phone-plugs to 1/8" mini-plugs. The other major difference is the MS-20 mini is equipped with a MIDI IN jack for receiving note messages, and a USB-MIDI connector that can transmit and receive note messages from a computer and/or external sequencer. It should be noted that the MS-20 mini only responds to note messages; controller changes were excluded from the MIDI spec because they would not give you the smooth, un-stepped parameter changes associated with actual hands-on knob tweaking.
Korg also packaged the MS-20 mini in a manner that replicates the original, and included the original MS-20 owner's manual and settings chart. Buyers of the MS-20 mini are not getting a run-of-the-mill Korg synthesizer exploiting the namesake of its vintage Icons. The MS-20 mini is an MS-20, inside and out, with the added MIDI and USB functionality needed to make it talk to modern studio equipment right out of the box. Amazingly, it lists for only $599 USD!

Download - Stuart McLean - The Vinyl Cafe On Tour
This product is currently sold out.
The 1999 double album from Stuart McLean. This collection of stories is taken from CBC Radio concerts that were taped in St. John's, Halifax, Toronto, Guelph, Calgary and Victoria. There are almost two hours of stories here, in a complete digital package.
"The Vinyl Cafe is probably the CBC's, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, most successful weekend show. Its American counterpart would be Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and the funny stories the genial host of the Vinyl Cafe, Stuart McLean, tells are sort of like the News From Lake Wobegon without the politics, religion, and occasional high-horse. As a show, the Vinyl Cafe, when live, is a one-hour set of eclectic music by very different musicians and a story by Stuart McLean about Dave, the owner of a used record store called the Vinyl Cafe, his wife, Morley, their two kids and their neighbors." - The Serious Comedy Site

Family: Tytonidae, Barn Owls view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has orange-buff upperparts that are speckled with tiny black and white dots. Underparts are whitish overall, but adorned with numerous black spots. White facial disc is heart shaped and bill is yellowish. In flight, underwings are pure white. ADULT FEMALE Similar, but underparts (including underwings) are variably flushed with orange-buff. JUVENILE Similar to adult.
Dimensions Length: 18" (46 cm); Wngspn: 3' 8" (1.1 m)
Habitat Vulnerable and declining. Mainly resident, but northern birds move south in winter. Relies on undisturbed grassland rich in small mammals and is badly affected by habitat loss and degradation, notably from farming. Loss of roosting and nesting sites (tree holes and derelict farm buildings) are also factors in population declines. Installing artificial nest boxes near suitable feeding areas is helping the species.
Observation Tips Usually crepuscular or nocturnal, but in winter and when there are chicks to feed in summer, it sometimes hunts small mammals in late afternoon.
Range Great Lakes, Southwest, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Florida, New England, Mid-Atlantic, California, Texas, Southeast, Western Canada, Northwest, Eastern Canada
Voice Utters a blood-curdling, screaming call.
Discussion Beautiful owl that looks ghostly white when caught in car headlights. Flight is leisurely and slow on broad wings. Sexes are often separable although considerable variation and overlap exists.

University of Rochester creates Center for Medical Technology Innovation (CMTI)
Singapore: The University of Rochester is combining its medical, engineering, and entrepreneurial expertise to create the Center for Medical Technology Innovation (CMTI).
Formed by a collaboration between the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the School of Medicine and Dentistry, CMTI will also make use of the University's Center for Entrepreneurship as it coordinates activities to develop technological solutions to clinical problems.
The center will offer a master's degree program in medical technology innovation. Students in the program will spend a minimum of two months in a clinical environment, enabling them to serve as a bridge between the medical and engineering faculty.
Amy Lerner, academic director, CMTI, said that, "The new center will be critical in helping take student and faculty design solutions to the next step," said Lerner. "We'll work closely with industry to address design challenges, which will also help prepare our students for careers in healthcare."
One company that is partnering with the Center for Medical Technology Innovation is W L Gore & Associates, which manufactures medical devices and high-performance fabrics. Mr Ryan Takeuchi, Gore Business Leader, said that, "The net result should be improved clinical applicability of device designs, a pool of highly qualified medical device design candidates entering the private employment sector, and ultimately a contribution to better patient outcomes."

There are times when you simply give up on a gobbling turkey, small parcels and property lines dictate it.. Alot of times you could come back the next day at the same time and find the gobbler in the same spot and have the same battle.. Than alot of times it may be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day etc..

Thought that this thread could become a catch-all for various examples of how big govt gets in its own way.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say the owner of $4 stores in northern New Jersey has admitted to a scheme in which patrons were allowed to make more than $5 million in fraudulent food stamp transactions.
Essex County prosecutors say 49-year-old Muhammed Farooq of Somerset pleaded guilty Wednesday to theft by deception and agreed to forfeit $832,830, He faces up to seven years in state prison when he's sentenced Jan. 6.
Authorities have said Farooq allowed patrons to use food stamps to buy nonfood items, such as electronics. They say the purchases totaled roughly $5.2 million and went on for nearly 2 1/2 years.
Farooq owns two stores in Newark, one in East Orange and another in Elizabeth.
This doesn't explain how the fraud was finally uncovered ... except that it took 2-1/2 years to do so.

Yes, according to Bloomberg News.
Apple has announced fewer than a dozen new wireless-service providers to sell the device since September 2011, leaving the total at about 240. Holdouts represent billions of would-be subscribers in countries such as China, Japan, India and Russia, said Horace Dediu, a market analyst who runs Asymco.com. Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.KS), Apple's biggest smartphone rival, sells devices through almost all of the world's 800 carriers, Asymco said.
China Mobile Ltd., the world's biggest phone company, and NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan's largest mobile carrier, are among providers that haven't agreed to carry the iPhone, citing the high costs of subsidies needed to make the device affordable or other terms they find unacceptable.
Apple might be taking steps to rectify the cost problem, my colleague Tiernan Ray reported last week, citing a JPMorgan report by Mark Moskowitz.
The issue for Apple at the moment, as Moskowitz and Co. see it, is that its 2012 market share of 47% of smartphone sales in revenue terms and 27% in unit terms in North America melts away in other regions, such as Latin America, where it is 9% and 2%, respectively, and Asia-Pacific, where it is 22% and 5%.
"A lower-priced iPhone could address some of these markets much more effectively," Moskowitz and team think.
Apple's shares have gained 2.2% to 459.79 today, after losing 15% through May 3.

'I'm going to enter a modeling contest," I told my wife after putting on slightly skimpy running shorts.

'I'm going to enter a modeling contest," I told my wife after putting on slightly skimpy running shorts.
"I didn't know your running costume qualifies you for Chippendales," she said.
Let me be clear for a moment, my wife isn't funny. She sometimes thinks she is, but she's not.
"Not that kind of modeling," I said. "AARP magazine is seeking contestants for 'New Faces of 50+ Real People Model Search.'"
She seemed relieved I wasn't planning to model underwear, but still wanted proof that I wasn't in a midlife crisis.
I read the AARP submission guidelines aloud that asked contestants to "... share your wisdom for living your best life at 50+ by submitting your photo and telling us just how you embrace your age."
I'm calling my submission "Seven F-Words for My Fifties."
Fun. Keep "fun" in your agenda. I do this by watching comedies, reading comics, and sharing dinner-time stories with friends. I write, read, enjoy theaters and museums, ride zip lines and attend my state fair. I do these things because fun releases natural "feel-good" hormones called endorphins. Endorphins combat stress and are therefore good for those I love and for those I serve.
Food. With an empty nest, I've escaped the fast-food world and found culinary delight in community eateries. I'm even considering attending cooking classes. But I also know the love of food can turn gluttonous, so I work to counteract negative effects through fitness.
Fitness. God made us to physically interact with our world, so I embrace fitness. I play Frisbee with my dog, go for walks with my wife, swim in the pool, ride a bike down community trails, and jog through town.
Finances. Yes, money helps. The most precious thing money buys is time: family time; beach time; travel time. It's taken me until 50 to realize I don't have to buy everything I want. I don't need the latest technology, the coolest cars or the largest house. Those things will count for nothing when I die.
Flight. Reduce your unnecessary expenses and divert your money to travel. Since turning 50, I've flown to Hawaii, Alaska, Peru, Panama, Mexico, Honduras, Iraq, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Jordan this September. Travel helps me to see I'm not the center of the universe and the
USA has many attributes as well as faults.
Family — a word with multiple shades of meaning. "Family" can be an endearing term, but if family members abuse you, you look for family elsewhere. You find family where you find belonging; maybe at the gym, office, church, or even civic club. My best experience of family is with my wife, and the best meaning of "brother" comes with my best friend of 35 years, Roger Williams.
Faith. No, this isn't the part of the column where I beg you to attend church or solicit donations. I end with "faith" because faith embraces me and keeps me from falling when all else on my list fails.
Faith is the grip the parachutist feels when his harness tightens. Faith is the grip the trapeze artist knows as she hangs for a second in midair only to be snatched by a skillful partner. It's a grip that comes from just beyond the edge of our darkness. It's an authority that knows the darkness, but comes from the light. When I keep the faith, faith keeps me.
Finally, if I win the AARP modeling contest, my wife says I have to buy longer shorts. Just to be clear, she's not funny.

An earlier version of this report gave the wrong fiscal quarter reported by H-P. The report has been corrected.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Hewlett-Packard Co. reported a steep sales drop in its personal computer business, but the tech giant managed to keep the business profitable, even as consumer PC sales plunged 29%.
In fact, H-P's overall fiscal second-quarter earnings were better-than-expected, as was its outlook for the third quarter.
Is the electric car right for you?
Steep discounts and public subsidies have more and more consumers considering electric cars.
It appears that H-P HPQ, -1.24% took the opposite tact of its rival Dell Inc. US:DELL and it is likely that it refrained from huge price cuts that might have helped it move more product. In the same quarter, Dell instigated more price cuts at the cost of its own profitability, in order to gain market share.
The lackluster sales of Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT, +1.37% new Windows 8 are not helping either, as many consumers and business users prefer to stay on the sidelines with older systems. The software giant will be launching an upgrade, Windows 8.1, which analysts hope will re-interest users.
H-P's corporate PC sales fell 14%, on par with the overall trend worldwide in the first calendar quarter, when global PC sales fell 14%, according to IDC. H-P's consumer revenue plunge of 29%, however, was far worse.
One surprise that was also helping the profitability of the personal systems unit, which includes printing, was the fact that H-P saw a boost in supplies, or ink, one analyst told MarketWatch.
H-P's shares were rising in after-hours trading on the better than expected profits, but things still look glum in the company's PC business.

By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating the death of a 20-year-old woman who was hit by three vehicles and killed last weekend on a Delta highway.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain said investigators were called about 5:30 a.m. Saturday to U.S. Highway 61 in the Boyle community just south of Cleveland.
The body of Shelby Harmon was found at the site. Strain told The Associated Press that investigators have questioned a man but nobody had been charged by Wednesday. He said the investigation is in its early stages.
Strain would not say how many vehicles struck Harmon. However, Sgt. Ben Williams, spokesman for the Highway Patrol region that includes Bolivar County, later said in a separate interview that she was struck by three.
Bolivar County Coroner Nate Brown said no autopsy was performed because a county sheriff's deputy who's also investigating the case did not request one. The sheriff's department referred all calls to the Highway Patrol.
Strain said evidence has been sent to state crime laboratories in Batesville and Jackson.
Harmon graduated from Cleveland High School in 2010 and earned an associate's degree from Mississippi Delta Community College.

Personally I hate going into Apple stores - they're always so small and there's always a ton of people in them. How about Apple employees honk a horn every 15 minutes, and if you're not in line to buy something or get tech help then for goodness sake leave. All the iPads can display an angry picture of Steve Jobs and become inoperable until the facetime camera sees you pull out a credit card or some cash.
So you're against people browsing in a store? F that man, if I want to go in the store and browse then I'll go in there and browse dammit. Sometimes if I plan to buy something online I'll go to a store where it's sold locally just to see it, try it out, etc. and then go buy it online.

Student Health Services
We provide quality health care services for the illness, injury, and wellness needs of Central State University students. Student Health services is located on the west side of the campus in the Lackey-Lee building, attached to the Louis Stokes Building.
- The Clinic is staffed by a full-time physician, a full-time nurse practitioner, and medical support staff, who deliver excellent quality care.
- You must be seen at the clinic first to determine if a referral is needed, including ER visits, (when possible). Unauthorized visits are reviewed by the Medical Director, and those found to be unjustified are the student's responsibility. Charges for an unauthorized visit may (1) not be honored by the Student Medical Plan; (2) be charged to the student; or (3) be charged to the parent, if student is under 18 years of age.
- If there is a true emergency and the Student Health Center is closed, at least partial payments of Emergency visits will be considered. For emergency medical situations during the clinic's non-operating hours, the ambulance should be dispatched through Greene County Central Communication 911 system.
- If you are a full time student or have purchased the CSU Health Care Plan, you can be seen by us to take care of your acute needs. Health education and limited health screenings are also available.
- The Student Health Insurance plan is mandatory for all full-time students, taking 12 or more credit hours. Part-time students (with less than 12 credit hours) may purchase the health insurance plan. This coverage is to provide convenient medical treatment here on the Campus. The Health Care Plan will also pay for a percentage of referrals made to local providers in the area, including needed ER visits. As is routine with group insurance coverage, the student must assume the responsibility for payment of any remaining balance. Please contact, Anita Crosswhite at 937-376- 6075 with any questions in reference to Student Health Insurance.
- It is very important that you pick up a Central State University Student Health Plan booklet at the SHC. Please read and keep this booklet. The booklet provides information on what services are and are not covered.
- Examples of provided services include: PAP smears, sexually transmitted disease screening, pregnancy testing, birth control, acute illnesses and injuries, rashes, asthma flair-ups, education, and delivering health advice. Examples of services not provided include monitoring of high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma maintenance medications, and physicals (other than University required). If you have any questions about Health Care Coverage, you can call us at 937-376-6134.

Charlap played solo piano unamplified in the 330-seat Mosesian, showing it to be the perfect little recital hall. And with his attention to dynamics, he's the perfect musician to take advantage of that, especially on ballads like "Sophisticated Lady," "April in Paris," "The Man I Love," and "The Shadow of Your Smile." But he has power and velocity as well — he took Duke Ellington's "Jubilee Stomp" at a breakneck tempo. "Rocker," by his former employer Gerry Mulligan, was not only fleet and fast but deep, with orchestral chording that implied the Miles Davis nonet version from Birth of the Cool and brought the song's harmonic skeleton to the surface.
Charlap made the evening a primer on the American Songbook. Between numbers, he offered short, often funny, anecdotes about composers like Arlen, Ellington, Jerome Kern, Vernon Duke (born Vladimir Dukelsky) and argued that these songwriters — many of them European immigrants or the children of immigrants — had created a new and distinctly American music. But history and biography weren't necessarily what you thought about when he played Kern's "Remind Me" — a phrase, a rest, another phrase, leaving you hanging on every note as if it were a word.
Earlier in the week, on Thursday, the Mosesian handled more musicians, with amplification: the venerable (21 years old this coming December) Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra. The JCA was founded as a way for orchestral jazz composers to hear their work without the benefit of a working band or commissions. It also gave Boston audiences a chance to hear all-new work by some of the best writers in town. In its early days, the JCA programmed too much new material — more than its expert players had time to learn, and more than an audience could digest. (JCA concerts were long.)
But the JCAs have learned. Their "Everybody Loves Ray Charles" tribute a couple of seasons ago was a hit, and at the Mosesian they mixed old and new. (At this point, they have a significant repertoire to draw from.) Guitarist Norm Zocher conducted his arrangement of "Busted" from that concert; Katz led what he called one of his oldest pieces, "Like a Wind," which dated back to 1980 and was based on a text drawn from Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio.

|Works for me! Tips and techniques worth sharing
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I take an 8" piece of heavy mono (around 20 lb), "fold" it to a point, then use masking tape to join the tag ends. This makes a doubled over linear construction, not circular one. Use like a standard bobbin threader. I have about 10 of these spread across my tying station, so one is always close at hand.
|This discussion just made me think of a good product idea for fly tyers... I will draw up the plans and see what people think.
I use the woodstock method too
I have never used a bobbin threader and would be concerned that it would nick the ceramic and start fraying my 8/0. Threading mono is a pain in the arse though so I'll try some of these tricks next time I'm working on my salty patterns.
You have to watch out for the occassional "hair ball" using the suck up the thread method. There is nothing quite like gasping and spitting to get that little sucker of a "hair ball" out of your throat. That is why I stopped using it when I first tied commercially some 30 years ago.
A dental floss loop threader makes a very fine bobbin threader if you do not want to spend to money for one of Rainey's bobbin Threaders, which have a little hook on the end of a straight shaft to catch your thread on. Far easier to use than the wire loop threaders, even if it costs a bit more than the rest of the bobbing threaders out there.
Threading bobbins...
Many of you already do this, but it might be of use to some who did not grow up in the 60's... :hehe:
For those using monocord or other fairly stout threads (saltwater, salmon / steelhead, etc) a real easy way to thread a bobbin is to but a fresh edge on the thread, start the thread into the bottom of the bobbin cylinder and suck the thread out.
It doesn't work well with multi-filament threads, which I don't like to use anyway because it does not grip feather stems as well (personal preference). My favorite thread is monocord for a variety of reasons when it comes to these big flies and flymaster 6/0 for the small stuff trout eat. It just so happens to thread easily in this manner as well.
But I digress...
If the bobbin becomes clogged, a segment of stout monofilament like 10#, 15# or bigger leader material is very useful in cleaning it out.
Thin mono also makes a good threader in a pinch, push it thru, fold it with the thread in it and start the folded end in the bottom of the bobbin cylinder, then pull on the other end.
Why all this to avoid bobbin threaders? Two reasons:
If you use ruby tipped bobbins for fine threads the "woodstock" method is the easiest and most effective. Metal bobbin threaders do not fit in ruby bobbins and I have no clue where the factory threaders are.
Also, it's much faster to cut a clean edge and suck up the thread than fiddle around looking for a threader with standard bobbins too.

4.10: Origin of Species
Where did this diversity of life come from?
If you have ever been to the beach, then you realize there is not just one species of marine life. The wide variety of shells that wash up on the beach indicate that there are very many forms of life in the ocean. This wide diversity of life requires that many new species have appeared over time. But how does a new species come into being?
The Origin of Species
The creation of a new species is called speciation. Most new species develop naturally. But humans have also artificially created new breeds and species for thousands of years.
New species develop naturally through the process of natural selection. Due to natural selection, organisms with traits that better enable them to adapt to their environment will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers. Natural selection causes beneficial heritable traits to become more common in a population and unfavorable heritable traits to become less common. For example, a giraffe's neck is beneficial because it allows the giraffe to reach leaves high in trees. Natural selection caused this beneficial trait to become more common than short necks.
As new changes in the DNA sequence are constantly being generated in a population's gene pool, some of these changes will be beneficial and result in traits that allow adaptation and survival. Natural selection causes evolution of a species as these beneficial traits become more common within a population.
Artificial Selection
Artificial selection occurs when humans select which plants or animals to breed in order to pass on specific traits to the next generation. For example, a farmer may choose to breed only cows that produce the best milk. Farmers would also avoid breeding cows that produce less milk. In this way, selective breeding of the cows would increase milk quality and quantity.
Humans have also artificially bred dogs to create new breeds (Figure below).
Artificial Selection: Humans used artificial selection to create these different breeds. Both dog breeds are descended from the same wolves, and their genes are almost identical.
Reproductive Isolation
There are two main ways that speciation happens naturally. Both processes create new species by reproductively isolating populations of the same species from each other. Organisms can be geographically isolated or isolated by a behavior. Either way, they will no longer be able to mate. Over a long period of time, usually thousands of years, each of the isolated populations evolves in a different direction, forming distinct species.
How do you think scientists test whether two populations are separate species? They bring species from two populations back together again. If the two populations do not mate and produce fertile offspring, they are separate species.
Geographic Isolation
Allopatric speciation happens when groups from the same species are geographically isolated for long periods. Imagine all the ways that plants or animals could be isolated from each other:
- Emergence of a mountain range.
- Formation of a canyon.
- New rivers or streams.
Here are two examples of allopatric speciation:
- Darwin observed thirteen distinct finch species on the Galápagos Islands that had evolved from the same ancestor. Different finch populations lived on separate islands with different environments. They evolved to best adapt to those particular environments. Later, scientists were able to determine which finches had evolved into distinct species by bringing members of each population together. The birds that could not mate were a separate species.
- When the Grand Canyon in Arizona formed, two populations of one squirrel species were separated by the giant canyon. After thousands of years of isolation from each other, the squirrel populations on the northern wall of the canyon looked and behaved differently from those on the southern wall (see Figure below). North rim squirrels have white tails and black bellies. Squirrels on the south rim have white bellies and dark tails. They cannot mate with each other, so they are different species.

Isolation without Physical Separation
Sympatric speciation occurs when groups from the same species stop mating because of something other than physical or geographic separation. The behavior of two groups that live in the same region is an example of such separation. The separation may be caused by different mating seasons, for example. Sympatric speciation is more difficult to identify.
Here are two examples of sympatric speciation:
- Some scientists suspect that two groups of orcas (killer whales) live in the same part of the Pacific Ocean part of the year, but do not mate. The two groups hunt different prey species, eat different foods, sing different songs, and have different social interactions (Figure below).
- Two groups of Galápagos Island finch species lived in the same space, but each had his or her own distinct mating signals. Members of each group selected mates according to different beak structures and bird calls. The behavioral differences kept the groups separated until they formed different species.
Scientists suspect that two types of orca whales live in the same part of the Pacific Ocean for part of the year, but they do not mate.
- allopatric speciation: A new species is formed when groups from the same species are geographically isolated for long periods of time.
- artificial selection: Selective breeding of plants or animals by humans to pass specific traits on to the next generation.
- natural selection: The process by which organisms with traits that better enable them to adapt to their environment will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers, causing beneficial heritable traits to become more common in a population.
- speciation: The creation of a new species.
- sympatric speciation: A new species is formed when groups from the same species stop mating because of something other than physical separation.
- Speciation, the creation of a new species, can happen through natural selection or artificial selection.
- Reproductive isolation is necessary for speciation to occur, and this can happen through a geographic barrier (allopatric speciation) or without a geographic barrier (sympatric speciation).
- Different behaviors can result in sympatric speciation.
