Susan Westerberg Prager Appointed Dean of Southwestern Law School
Susan Westerberg Prager, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) and former dean of UCLA School of Law, has been named Dean and Chief Executive Officer of Southwestern Law School. Her five-year term will begin in Fall 2013. Already a trailblazer many times over, Prager will be the first woman to serve as dean in the law school's 100+-year history.
In announcing the appointment, Board Chair Thomas Hoberman said, "The Board considered Dean Prager's stellar credentials and outstanding national reputation in the legal academy and higher education, her pragmatic and inspired vision for our law school, and the extremely enthusiastic support voiced by members of the Southwestern community. We are delighted that Dean Prager will be joining us this Fall."
Prager was selected by the Board following an extensive national search led by a committee of trustees, alumni, and faculty members. She will be the 11th dean of the law school, and succeeds Dean Bryant Garth, who stepped down in July 2012 after seven years in the post. Former Vice Dean Austen Parrish has served as Interim Dean since July 2012.
In accepting the appointment, Dean Prager said, "Southwestern is a remarkable place, with a rich tradition of making a difference in the futures of its students. The law school's innovative and collaborative spirit is part of its DNA. The faculty and countless graduates are committed to helping today's students contribute to the complex and challenging worlds they will occupy as professionals. I feel privileged to have been asked to lead Southwestern Law School at this challenging and exciting time in legal education."
The search for Bryant Garth's successor was chaired by Mike Downer '81, Vice-Chair of the Southwestern Board of Trustees, and Senior Vice President, Secretary and Chief Legal Officer at Capital Research and Management Company. "Dean Prager has the experience, skills and vision needed to continue building on the terrific momentum Southwestern gained under Dean Garth," Downer said. "We are thrilled that such a high-caliber individual will lead Southwestern into its second century."
Dean Emeritus Bryant Garth added, "Susan's knowledge, experience and national stature give her outstanding tools both to guide and mentor our faculty and to attract additional top quality scholar-teachers."
Commenting on Prager's appointment, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said: "We are pleased to welcome back to Los Angeles the nationally distinguished lawyer and academician Susan Prager. With Susan at its helm, Southwestern Law School will continue to be one of the great and most diverse trailblazing legal institutions that provides so many of this State's most distinguished judges, prosecutors, public defenders, and partners in top law firms."Originally from Sloughhouse in Sacramento County, Dean Prager earned both her A.B. (1964) and M.A. (1967) degrees in History at Stanford University. She then worked for California's senior U.S. Senator and minority whip Thomas Kuchel, Congressman Pete McCloskey, and California Assemblyman John Veneman from Modesto. She went on to complete her J.D. degree in 1971 at UCLA School of Law, where she served as editor-in-chief of the UCLA Law Review.
Leading UCLA's Law School
Prager practiced law in North Carolina and then returned to her alma mater in 1972 as a member of the UCLA law faculty, teaching in the areas of community property, family law, wills and trusts, and historic preservation. When she was named Dean a decade later, Prager was the first female law dean in the UC system and one of only two women serving in that capacity in the entire country. She served from 1982 to 1998, the longest tenure of any dean in UCLA law school history, and is particularly proud to be the first alum to become dean of the law school at UCLA.
Dean Prager worked successfully with the UCLA law faculty and university administration to strengthen the intellectual environment and operation of the law school. She cultivated a culture of excellence in both research and teaching, furthered diversity within the student body, and oversaw the appointment of dynamic new faculty and endowed chair holders. She enhanced the curriculum in areas such as international, environmental, public interest, entertainment and corporate law, and spearheaded the expansion of the clinical program. Her legacy includes two major building projects, the Clinical Wing and the Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library, as well as major advancements in technology, the launch of the law school's first major fundraising efforts, and the successful completion of one of the University of California's first major building project public-private partnerships. Upon her departure from the deanship, the law school established a named faculty chair in her honor.
Learning of Prager's new decanal appointment, UCLA Professor and former Associate Dean Devon Carbado said, "Susan Prager was a terrific dean at UCLA Law School. She established a robust tradition of fundraising, facilitated closer ties to the practicing bar, strengthened the curriculum via a range of innovative initiatives, enhanced the intellectual life of the law school, and grew the faculty. At the same time, she promoted intellectual and demographic diversity both within the faculty and the student body. I have little doubt that she will achieve similar results at Southwestern Law School. Indeed, I look forward to her accomplishments and to seeing Southwestern continue on its impressive upward trajectory."
While at UCLA, Prager became the second woman ever elected as President of the AALS, and also served on the governing boards of the Law School Admission Council and the Council of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar.
According to Professor Lauren Robel, Provost, Executive Vice President and Val Nolan Professor of Law at Indiana University, who is also a past President of AALS, "Susan knows legal education better than anyone else in the world. She combines this enormous knowledge with exquisite judgment and the sophistication and nuance that she brings to decision making. She will be a fantastic dean for Southwestern."
Leadership in Interdisciplinary Higher Education
Dean Prager left the legal academy to pursue other opportunities in higher education in 1999. As Provost of Dartmouth College, she oversaw the professional schools, worked closely with the faculty to further the synergies between teaching and research, and led the development of a long-term physical plan for the campus, as well as the academic planning effort in preparation for a subsequent highly successful fundraising campaign. In her capacity as Dartmouth's chief academic officer, all of the services to the academic program reported to her, including libraries, computing, the Hood Museum of Art, and the Hopkins Center for the Arts. During her brief service as President of Occidental College in Los Angeles, Prager expanded institutional and foundation support for undergraduate student research, furthered study abroad opportunities, and worked closely with faculty and staff in developing programs promoting student independence and responsibility.
Jamshed Bharucha, President of The Cooper Union in New York City and former Dean of the Faculty at Dartmouth College, worked closely with Prager during her years at Dartmouth. He sees Prager as "a powerful enabler of people's good ideas" and explains, "Susan wants to know what people's aspirations are and how she can orient the priorities to promote excellence. She will move with a lot of energy to understand the opportunities and challenges, and then will create a path toward progress, identifying the people who can get from A to B." Bharucha emphasizes: "The A to B path is not just her path; she listens to the best ideas."
National Leadership Through the AALS
In 2008, Prager was named Executive Director and CEO of the AALS, the nation's principal representative of America's law schools and the scholarly society of the law teaching profession. As the top administrator of the organization, she has worked with the volunteer executive board and faculty committees in evaluating schools for membership and providing programs designed to enhance law deans, faculty and administrators' effectiveness, including the AALS Annual Meeting, the largest gathering of law professors in the world. Under her leadership, the AALS has furthered its core values, which have contributed to the high quality of legal education in the U.S; brought issues of importance to law schools before legislative bodies, courts and administrative agencies; and influenced the debate over the standards for law school accreditation.
According to Professor Leo Martinez, the Albert Abramson Professor of Law at Hastings College of the Law and President of the AALS, "Susan Prager's vision, indefatigable energy, and ever-present optimism have ably guided the AALS for these past five years. While she will be missed, like all strong leaders, she leaves a better organization than she inherited, and her wealth of experience will be an indispensable part of Southwestern Law School's future success."
Dean Daniel Rodriguez of Northwestern University School of Law and President-Elect of AALS, added, "Her leadership at the AALS has been especially remarkable and important as it has coincided with one of the most turbulent periods in legal education. There is no person with a greater commitment to the improvement of legal education than Susan, and the single best evidence of this is her willingness to get right back in the saddle and take on a deanship. She is a true legend in legal education and higher education in general. Southwestern is extraordinarily lucky to have Susan come aboard."
Prager was a trustee of Stanford University for 14 years, serving as the Board's Vice President and Chair of its Academic Policy Committee. She has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Mutual Holding Company (Pacific Life) since 1979, the Access Group (non-profit student loan corporation) and the American Council on Legal Education, and was a member of the California Commission on Campaign Financing and the California Community Colleges Commission on Innovation.
A Leading Voice for Diversity in Higher Education
An outspoken advocate for intellectual and racial diversity throughout her career, Prager has counseled community groups and legislators and testified before congressional subcommitees in the affirmative action debate. "Susan Prager is a trailblazer, a champion of diversity, and one of the most highly admired women in legal education," said Professor Catherine Carpenter, a member of the Dean Search Committee. "As one who has worked hard her entire professional life to increase diversification of the profession, Dean Prager shares Southwestern's long-standing commitment to access and multiculturalism."
The recipient of the Los Angeles Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund's (MALDEF) 1997 Legal Services Award, Prager was honored with the Los Angeles Israel Cancer Research Fund's Women of Action Award (1996), and the Madrina Award of the UCLA Latino Alumni Association (1998). On the occasion of the conclusion of her tenure as Dean, the UCLA Law Alumni Association presented her with its first Lifetime Achievement Award. She later received the highest award of the greater UCLA Alumni Association, The Edward A. Dickson Award, named for the UC Regent who played a significant role in the creation of UCLA.
A Student-Centered Approach
Prager noted that her interactions with Southwestern students were influential in her decision to accept the deanship. "It was clear to me that many of the students understand how important it is to shape the direction of your own life," she said. "Along with this comes a feeling of responsibility to the law school with which their careers will be permanently linked. Many of them appreciate the broad range of options and opportunities that Southwestern has afforded them, and they are proud of the school's mission to further access to the profession in a highly diverse environment that benefits students of all races and life circumstances. The maturity and insight they display provides evidence of their capacity to become highly effective professionals, and I'm eager to begin working with them and with Southwestern's devoted and outstanding faculty."
Stephanie Peatman, a second-year student and President of Southwestern's Student Bar Association, said, "When I first met Dean Prager, she had this wonderful aura of both authority and approachability - what I always thought a dean should personify. She immediately put me at ease, and I knew that Southwestern was really where she belonged."Interim Dean Austen Parrish said, "Susan Prager brings tremendous expertise to the law school. Her distinguished career fits wonderfully with Southwestern's mission, the school's leadership in providing a practice-focused legal education, and its extraordinary commitment to the local community. Her insights and wealth of experience, as well has her strong connections to Los Angeles, make Susan an exceptional choice."

Nice to see interest raising in hubackup lately, as this blog post might suggest.
Recently I was joined by Martin Bergner (giftnudel) that now actively helps with excellent bug fixing and improving the various back ends I originally wrote for the program. It seems that with maybe another person like him, we could aim and reach high for releasing a very high quality, very focused solution for Feisty that would be included in main and supported by us. However, fear not! even if this does not happen I plan to work until I drop, to have as mentioned solution for edgy+1.
I've also set yesterday to think up how should the accompanying meta file used for mime type association.
My main goals at sight are finishing the mime type support, which would enable me to fix hurestore, since hurestore now relies on being invoked using mime-type association against the meta file in question, move to adjust it to the new GUI that was designed in UDS Paris and by this reach the development milestones.
We would then move on to fixing bugs through the development cycle and make sure no exception or error can go un-noticed or not propagated to the user in a clean, easy to understand manner.

Gadget Guy: Review Of Powermat
By Steve Van Dinter Special To Channel 3000
Powermat Rating: 4 out of 5 Price: $99.99 www.powermat.com
Think of how many things have gone wireless in the past few years the Internet, telephones and most recently USB. But what?s the one thing that?s always causing problems and getting tangled? Those power cords!
Wouldn?t it be nice if power could be wireless? Today that dream is a reality.
Let me introduce to you, the Powermat. This thin little mat promises to revolutionize the way you charge your portable devices.
So how does it work? You plug the mat into a traditional wall outlet. Then you simply set your phone, DS Lite, mp3 player, iPod, etc., onto the mat. You?ll hear a futuristic whirring noise, an LED illuminates and you know your device is charging.
Now you can?t just plop any old device onto it and have the process start. Instead you need a special receiver that?s added to your device. In many cases, it simply replaces the battery door to your phone or other portable device.
In the case of this Blackberry, you just pop off the original door, slide on the new one and set it down on the Powermat for charging to begin. It?s that simple.
For devices that do not have a back cover, there?s a Powercube that comes with each mat. It includes eight different tips that should be able to handle anything from a digital camera to a USB powered gadget.
You may be wondering how much of a difference this makes, but imagine not having to fumble around for the right cord when you get home from work, or looking for the adapter for your camera or mp3 player while the kids are trying to get your attention.
Simply set your device down,wait for the noise and light and you know your device is charging up.
If you travel a lot, there?s even a portable mat that folds up for taking on the go.
So how does the charging time compare?
The Powermat is as fast or in some cases -- as I discovered with my Blackberry -- faster than the original charger. That?s pretty good considering this same technology is built into those rechargeable toothbrushes and they do not charge quite as quickly.
So how does it work?
It uses magnetic induction to wirelessly beam power from the mat to the device safely and efficiently.
Once your device is charged, power shuts off and the system continues to monitor the power levels. If needed your device is topped off.
For some people it may not seem like a big deal, but for anyone with a lot of portable devices and cords, it?s a huge stress reliever and time-saver.
The Upsides: I really like how simple this is to use. Set your device down, wait for the sound and it?s charging. No more looking for the right charge cord and you can charge up to three devices simultaneously at or even slightly faster than the power cord that came with it.
The Downsides: Included with the device is a Powercube with eight different tips which works great for universal charging, but it would?ve been nice to have a voucher or something for one special charger ? like a Blackberry door ? as each of those costs between $30 and $40 and that can add up fast. And the selection right now is pretty limited to just a handful of Blackberries, the iPhone and Nintendo?s DS.
The Bottom Line: Overall, if you are looking to clean up your desk, kitchen or bedroom, or just staying on the cutting edge, the Powermat should be near the top of your wish list this holiday season.
The mat and travel mat cost $100 each and come with one Powercube. Additional backs for your phone or iPod for instance cost between $30 and $40.
More information is available at www.powermat.com
In the future we may see device manufacturers bundle these receivers into their products which would definitely be a huge selling point. And there are prototypes online of this technology being placed into countertops and tables which would mean your desk or kitchen of the future would be completely cordless!

Christchurch is a planned city built by the English and a university town. As such, the heart of the city is very English and certainly has more architectural heritage than the other major cities we have visited. The city also enjoys a rich cultural scene; trams; punting on the "Avon"; good restaurants, etc. It feels very much like home but hotter.
We also needed to be in Christchurch for Thomas and Vinnie to sell their van as their trip is now over and they are now heading back to Denmark. Our first day was spent putting out sale posters and by evening the van was sold.
No longer needing to be based in the city, a quick look at the map revealed the nearby coastal region of Banks Peninsula and the town of Akaroa
We're briefly back in Christchurch for a final night out with Vinnie and Thomas before dropping them at the airport and then off to Hamner Springs for a few days.

Reviews of this property
We had a very nice stay at the Lavender House. Koskinou is a very typical Greek village, with small pebble stone streets and friendly people. From Koskinou you are within 10 min. in Rhodes City (by car), and close tot to the road to to Epta Piges, Anthony Quinn Bay, Archangelos Beach and Lindos.
The house was very nice and clean, with plenty of room and a nice classic Greek interior.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Do you want to live your greek dream? here it is!
The house is situated in a very lovely location,narrow streets with all year living people with the daily- lives sounds. And at the same time you have all the rest of want you might look for on your holiday as restaurants, beaches, interesting sites nearby.
The house is an experience itself. Renovated in a really,really nice way with an extraordinary feeling for coulor and details.the reality is even better than the photos here. And even though we never got to meet the host we felt welcomed and a hospitality in all the arrangements in the house.
We were there as a couple and it would have easily been comfortable for more people.The only restriction we can see is if you have any disability to move; the stairs are frequent and steep.
We spent a week in this dream house typically Greek, located in the quiet streets of the small village of Koskinou beautifully restored and fully equipped kitchen (fridge, freezer, dishwasher, espresso maker, electric fruit press, TV, DVD, hate hi-fi, wi-fi connection free bbq, and the icing on the cake on arrival, a bread in the fridge and a Greek salad and a bottle of wine. could ask for more? hosts are charming and have other locations as well restored in the same village, also available on Wimdu. Anyway, nothing to complain about.
Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve dans cette maison typiquement grecque, située dans les calmes ruelles du petit village de Koskinou, merveilleusement restaurée et complètement équipée (frigo, congélateur, lave-vaisselle, cafetière à expresso, presse fruit électrique, TV, DVD, haîne hi-fi, connection wi-fi gratuite, bbq, et cerise sur le gâteau, à l'arrivée, un pain et dans le frigo une salade grecque et une bouteille de vin . Que demander de plus ? Les hôtes sont charmants et possèdent d'autres locations tout aussi bien restaurées dans le même village, également disponibles sur Wimdu .
Bref : rien à redire .
Ein super schönes Haus! Das Dorf ist ebenfalls sehr schön und idyllisch. Wir haben vieles auf Rhodos gesehen, aber diese Ortschaft ist absolut am besten platziert.
Vielen lieben Dank auch an Gudrun! Sie tat alles, damit wir uns wohl fühlen während unserer Ferien. Obwohl ich (mein Fehler) ein Tag früher ankam, bemühte sie sich sehr um uns eine Übernachtung zu organisieren. Beim Eintreffen erwartete uns ein Willkommensgeschenk und ihre Tipps bezüglich Restaurants oder Ausflüge konnten wir ebenfalls zu unseren Zufriedenheit nutzen.
Alles in Allem ein sehr gelungener Urlaub und das Dorf mit dem Haus würde ich mit keinem Hotel in Faliraki tauschen!

Applicants must be engaged in the practice of law and a resident of the territorial jurisdiction served by the commission to which the member is applying.

Updated the rules to say:
"You may use any library, game engine, tools, art, or audio to develop the game, provided you have the appropriate license to do so (if licensing is required for what you use); note that this means you may use code, art, and audio that you or others may have made in the past (the explicit limitation is that you may not use existing game logic (i.e. you may use libraries and engines, but you still have to actually make the game during the 7 day period))"
I think there are tons of freely available resources for art and audio such that if you have a few of your own that you've made, it won't give you an unfair advantage. Plus your game must fit the theme that will be announced, which means someone will either have to be very creative about how they use existing assets, or use new ones specifically suited for the theme.

Bill addresses vacated land
Land bank would rehabilitate property and sell it to individuals, developersJanuary 14, 2014 11:22 PM
Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Deb Gross is proposing the creation of a land bank for the city of Pittsburgh, a mechanism that could streamline the process of redeveloping tax-delinquent land, parcels that are often the blighted eyesores of communities.
On Tuesday, Ms. Gross introduced a bill to create the legal framework for the Pittsburgh Land Bank, which would be an entity separate from the city with a board of directors appointed by Mayor Bill Peduto and city council. The legislation is a work in progress because Ms. Gross wants to get community input on many of the program's details.
Under the state law, land banks have the ability to capture about half of the money collected from penalties on tax-delinquent parcels when they're sold through a treasurer's sale. The land bank can use that money and other capital to purchase and rehabilitate other tax-delinquent parcels.
They can then turn around and sell those parcels to individuals or developers, allowing for a more deliberate approach to redeveloping land.
In a news release, Ms. Gross said a land bank is an ideal tool to deal with the city's thousands of distressed properties. The existing process of "land-recycling," or turning tax-delinquent eyesores into productive development, is piecemeal.
Ms. Gross said a land bank would radically transform how tax-delinquent properties that end up in the city's hands are sold back to the community for development. The process is so cumbersome, she said, that it would take around 60 years for the city to clear the 7,000 to 8,000 parcels it now owns.
"The city's current process is difficult at best and takes even well-staffed community development corporations 18 months to 24 months to get titles to parcels that they would like to have some reuse for," she said.
A fully staffed land bank could turn city-owned parcels -- which have to be maintained by the public works -- back over to individuals, developers or community groups at a much higher volume and on a faster timeline, she said.
In 2012, the state Legislature passed the State Land Bank Act, which allowed for the creation of land banks. Since the passage of the law, Westmoreland County, Dauphin County and Philadelphia have created land banks.
Pittsburgh's land bank could take many forms. It could be a subsidiary of the Urban Redevelopment Authority, or it could be its own authority.
It's also unclear where it would get its startup funding, though it's possible that foundations and the city could pitch in.
Councilman Ricky Burgess proposed a similar measure in 2012, but that legislation was shelved.

Got a few mixtapes, a bunch of tracks and then run down of some notable events taking place this evening.
Aaaand GOOO!!!
Karmon is a deep house producer/DJ from the Netherlands. The last year has been especially successful for him as his releases have garnered massive support accross the globe. I personally love his work and I'm really loving this set he put down for a radio station in Amsterdam.
UK badass Dusky is pretty much a household name these days and he further cemented that fact by laying down a most excellent mix for BBC Radio 1. Essential indeed.
My favorite Swedish Nu Disco/House outfit Monitor 66 recently dropped this amazingly sexy and soulful mix for British Label House Of Disco Records. Def a must listen.
Finally, I'd like to do more shameless self promotion by sharing my OctoBearTape with you all.
Aeroplane featured this lovely little remix from British house producer Ben Gomori on his recent mixtape. Good stuff.
Holy Ghost! is easily one of my favorite DFA outfits and one of my favorite bands in general and this is their latest (and might I say festive) masterpiece. Not a free DL so I recommend heading over to Itunes and snagging a copy.
Yep..yet another batch of brilliant freebies from Mr Malinchak. I'm firmly convinced that he can do no wrong.
A fantastic edit from sir Gigamesh.
I wasn't really a huge fan of the original version of RAC's first original Hollywood, but the remixes thus far have been brilliant. Cassian's is easily my favorite, but Treasure Finger's completely flipped it and I'm certainly digging his take as well.
Edwin Van Cleef blessed us with this gem a few days back…simple yet catchy and quite addicting.
This one might be a miss for some, but Paul Simon's Graceland was a staple of my childhood and an absolutley fantastic album. This is a very simple yet effective edit of one of my favorite tracks off that album from Dutch producer The Starkiller.
Bufi's been rocking my world as of late. He's one of many producers catching rec out of Mexico right now.
British producer T. Williams has taken the latest from Disclosure molded it into a four on the floor banger. I personally think it knocks the original clear out of the water. No word on a release yet.
Duke Dumont has been smashing it as of late hence the reason he's one of my favorite producers right now. Coming on the heals of his most notable release to date "For Club Play Only" is this exclusive he released for free via Annie Mac.
Please don't forget that the 11th installment of TheHundred is popping off this evening at Beauty Bar. The headliner tonight is none other than garage/house legend Todd Edwards featuring support from locals option4, Vanish, Werq and Fun Factory. Doors are at 9 and cover won't kick in til 9:30 so if you thurr early, it's free. If you don't have no fear because cover is only $6 bucks which is a STEAL when compared to the talent in the building. If you'd like a taste of what to expect, then check out this freebie he released about a month ago and this video of his fabled Boiler Room set.
9-945PM ::::: option4 :::::: (Deep house set)
945-1030PM :::: Vanish ::::: (VCR)
1030-1115PM ::::: Werq ::::: (Discotheque Denver)
1115- 12AM ::::: Fun Factory ::::: (Nasty Track)
12-1230AM :::: option4 ::::: (House set)
Aaaand if you're still feeling rambunctious post Beauty Bar then there's an after party a few doors down at the Deer Pile featuring disco extraordinaire Black Amex out of Boulder.
Happy Halloween to you all. Cheers:)

Nehamas to lead American Philosophical Association
Posted June 12, 2002; 09:50 a.m.
Alexander Nehamas, the Edmund Carpenter II Class of 1943 Professor in the Humanities, professor of philosophy and professor of comparative literature, has been elected vice president of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association.
He will take office in January 2003, and will become president of the division in January 2004. The Eastern Division is the oldest and largest of the association's three divisions. Its annual meeting is the largest gathering of philosophers in the English-speaking world.
Two other members of Princeton's Department of Philosophy have preceded Nehamas in this position: Harry Frankfurt and John Cooper. Nehamas, a faculty member since 1990, recently stepped down as chair of the Council of the Humanities and director of the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts and of the Program in Hellenic Studies.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Last month, the city of Tupelo and the Tupelo Public School District were awarded one of only five Governor's Awards given annually in the state.
The distinction recognizes collaboration between a city and its school district.
"These Governor's Awards are hard to come by. We are the only ones to receive it on a district-wide level," said Superintendent Gearl Loden. "We are blessed by our unique partnership that I have rarely seen abroad."
At a Monday press conference, Mayor Jack Reed Jr. said he took office with intentions of supporting Tupelo's schools.
"The success of the city of Tupelo and the success of its school district are inseparable," he said.
He mentioned the implementation of safer routes to schools, consisting of paved sidewalks surrounding highly-populated school zones.
Other initiatives include the Safe Splash program, which introduces all second grade students in the district to swimming. Shared use agreements regarding playground equipment have also been established to open playground facilities to neighborhood use.
"I'm particularly proud of Safe Splash," Reed said. "It grants a skill that can be both life-saving and enjoyable."
Loden said efforts were being made to advance this program to teach first-graders the skill as well.
The city has also adopted Read and Rise, a program supported by Scholastic Inc. that donates a copy of the children's book "Goodnight Moon" to each newborn child in an effort to promote literacy within the home.
Loden said the city is involved with numerous church partnerships assisting with after school programs, and that he has seen a high volume of tutoring by retired teachers. In addition, the city has helped foster interpersonal relationships between its officials and youngsters.
"Like Police Chief Tony Carleton says, we want people to run toward the police," Reed said. "It's much more effective to prevent dropouts than correct them once they've happened.
"Success in reading and school makes a kid feel good. Once they recognize that good feeling, they will keep putting forth the effort to succeed."

Advanced to Pro: A great all-rounder, satisfying all the needs of a sailor looking for a good blend of freeride, freestyle and wave performance and then some!
The Kode 94 planes reasonably early, feeling controlled and engaging from the off. When up to speed it is comfortable, compact and electric underfoot (hardly feeling 95 litres!) with classically good Starboard deckpads and footstraps. The board is fast in a straight line, offering good freeride performance, and its compact nature also gives the rider a sense of wanting to try some manoeuvres, whether carving around or getting some air time. The 94 jumps exceptionally well due to its speed, and is floaty and easy to control in the air due to its compact nature. As the wind picks up and the water state becomes confused, the Kode handles the overpowered conditions well, vee in the hull providing a smooth ride and the board remaining composed and controllable.
In turns: the Kode gybes very smoothly and enjoys being driven hard into the turn as well as offering a good platform for more tentative technique. It tacks easily with a wide flat deck for sure foot placement.
In waves: it is great fun, combining ease of use with a hint of radical seasoning: the board bottom turns easily and can be tightened up fantastically for more performance. Cut backs are very rewarding as it is quite loose and radical, making the most out of small waves, whilst also being able to tear up a good size swell. From side shore to onshore, tutoring a first timer, to satisfying the more advanced wave-head on a marginal day, the Kode was one of the testers favourites for wave performance.
In freestyle: good potential as tutor as well as possessing good performance. The Kode pops, carves and jumps well, with a good nose for slides.
(+) A well designed and put together all-rounder for a huge range of users and abilities across a large spectrum of disciplines, from freeride to freestyle and wave performance.
(-) Not much to fault here another favourite amongst the test team!

i apologize in advance for the extremely lengthy entry... guess there's lots on my mind or something. maybe even some of it is a bit interesting...
i have to admit that i was tremendously amused by Iain 's desire to be stalked by a normal and attractive person. :)
dave winer describes his recent emancipation from cable tv. man, do i ever agree that tv is such an appealing waste of time. i can't imagine how much more productive i would be if it weren't for cable... need to do something about this! no more veg-ing! no more veg-ing!
in other news, i finally got my (wonderful) christmas present from my (wonderful) sister in the mail today. double cd of famous jazz performances and its pretty darned sweet. i forgot how much i enjoyed listening charles mingus. also included are miles davis, herbie hancock, t. monk... ahh, this is my soundtrack for the next year.
now that i've been (obsessively) reading a lot of the userland folk's weblogs, i came to the point yesterday where i really wanted to try out dave winer's outliner, radio userland, that a lot of em appear to be in love with. but i didn't (and don't) want to find some windows box to run it on (darned win32 and mac only sw!)... so i decide to try wine (again). wine seems to run quite a lot more (and more stably) than a year ago. but i was unable to get radio userland to work. :( so then i want to run yet another win32-only app, groove, and so i thought i'd roll up my sleeves and try to fix the relavent parts of wine. and that's what i've been trying to do this morning (and now afternoon, man time goes fast). well that and attend a short wedding. oh yeah, and listening to a bit of our new president, gwb. but i don't think i'm progressing that quickly at 'getting' the architecture of wine. if this works, i can promise that i'll have a dorky smile on my face all weekend. :) oh yeah, and this is why open source works if you already didn't know.
my wrists are starting to feel a little better as i've not had too much computer time lately, just a lot more design and reading stuff away from the wicked keyboard. which is fine. last sunday, while doing quite a bit of drumming i felt a little too much numbness for my liking. if it persists, i'll probably go see some doctor. or try acupuncture(sp?) or something.
i haven't forgotten my open payment protocol project (in the flavor of set), but i sure haven't posted much here about it. not much new to report really except that i think i've gotten a pretty good design with about 90% of it done. if you want to take a gander at it, give me an email or something. that should get me off my rump.
Matt's Musings... weird thoughts below
in tech related thoughts, i've been thinking about the (original) design of the web and pondering, "what might have i done differently?" i think the web has achieved such a level of acceptance as a network platform that many limitations present in its design and use are (often) unchallenged and ignored. let's challenge the assumptions, people! because it's fun and maybe something can come of it... oh yeah, and i apologize for my inarticulate ways. :)
my chief objection to the web's design (at present) is that it imposes an extremely one-way communications model. what i'm complaining about is that there exists NO mechanism by which a server can initiate data tranfer to a client. i still wish to maintain the traditional client/server model in which the browser initiates a request for a resource, but i do want the server to have the ability to send new data to the client to update the document. notice that this isn't push technology, as the client would only receive this new updating data from the server during the lifetime of the document being viewed. so instead of closing the connection when the document has been completely transfered, the client would leave the connection open, listening for any updates. the server could then send snippets of js specifying changes using the DOM. i think this would be really helpful, but it does muddy the waters of simplicity and elegance found in the traditional model of simply tranfering a 'document' . in particular, it places a quite heavy burden upon the server, maintaining state and all.
argh! man, when rereading the above in my diary preview that sure sounded crappy. pictures are needed, imo. gosh darnit, why can't standard web tools have a whiteboard! ... back to my rant.
if we look at the context/history of the development of the web, back in the day we weren't thinking in terms of web applications, or at least i don't think that we were. we were thinking in terms of simply transfering documents . so once the document was finished being transfered to the client, the connection and web transaction was done. at least until the client initiated another connection. and there's no ability for the server to send data any more data to the client. in order to make 'the network the computer', we'd have to rely on clumsy polling techniques. there's no way that the server can send an 'interrupt' to the client in other words.
these ideas, which have been floating around my head for some time, came to a point the other day when i was going to implement a web-based (because it's the universal network platform, remember! :) game of scrabble, my wife's fav. game of all time. sure, we could just do it (even easily) in java, but that is way too heavy for my liking. i think that web applications, really lightweight, using insanely familiar constructs are the way to go, or at least try. there was (and is) no way to let the server inform the players (using their handy web browsers) that it's their turn to try and figure out some words. argghh... i thought it might be fun to create an rpc server in moz that the web server could contact, but that is one ugly kludge if i've ever seen one. the above described mechanism of updating documents seemed to be the prettiest solution i could come up with.
i read a term on dave winer's blogs that i thought exceptional at describing the above functionality. "the two way web" but alas, his great meme candidate has another meaning. oh well.
of course, there is great value in 'just being a document viewer', and maybe these web apps should be called net apps and we should just use a network aware interface other than the ever-present web browser. next topic...
another unrelated objection to the present day web is its completely primitive user interface machinery (widgets). sure, i love the simplicity and the elegance that is the widget set found in html 1 (textbox, button, drop-down box, etc etc), but another set of standard widgets needs to exist. jon udell (sp?) mentioned this void a while back in his column at byte.com although some of the stuff he says about xul isn't accurate, imo. is anybody 'fixing' this? where's the w3?
i guess the above is more like an article draft (that's poor!) and not a diary. but oh well. please forgive! :)
anyways, i've rambled long enough. i find this refactoring of the web very interesting and invite any reader's comments. please let me know if i'm insane. thanks! off to the the dishes...

Government Shutdown Pulls Plug on Public Access to Ocean Data
Posted On October 1, 2013 by Jeff Watters
As the federal government closes down today—including vast portions of the agencies that help study and protect our ocean—the impacts are quickly being felt far beyond just the federal employees that are being sent home.
Non-government scientists, academics, state and local officials, and even schoolchildren who rely on ocean data provided by the government will find that many of the websites that deliver this valuable information have now been taken down.
In fact, if you try to go to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's website right now, you'll get a message saying, "Due to the federal government shutdown, NOAA.gov and most associated websites are unavailable."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:50 PM GMT on June 22, 2010
A modest region of intense thunderstorms (Invest 93L) is over the central Caribbean, a few hundred miles south of Hispaniola. This disturbance has the best chance to become Tropical Storm Alex of any system we've seen so far this year. We don't have any buoys near 93L, but pressures at the ground stations surrounding the storm are not falling. A pass of the ASCAT satellite over the Central Caribbean at 9:45 pm EDT last night revealed a modest wind shift associated with 93L, but nothing at all close to a surface circulation. Top surface winds seen by ASCAT were 15 - 20 mph. Water vapor satellite loops show that 93L is embedded in a large region of moist air. The atmosphere over the Caribbean has moistened over the past day, which should aid development of 93L. Wind shear is a low 5 - 10 knots. The high wind shear associated with the strong winds of the subtropical jet stream are over the northern Caribbean, too far north to interfere with development, but close enough to provide good upper-level outflow for the storm. Visible satellite loops show high level cirrus clouds streaming away from 93L to the northeast, evidence of the upper-level outflow channel that is developing to the storm's north. Sea Surface Temperatures are plenty warm, a record 29 - 30°C. The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) currently favors upward motion over the Caribbean, which will act to increase the chances of tropical storm formation this week. The Madden-Julian oscillation is a pattern of enhanced rainfall that travels along the Equator from west to east. The pattern has a wet phase with large-scale rising air and enhanced thunderstorm activity, followed by a dry phase with large-scale sinking air and suppressed thunderstorm activity. Each cycle lasts approximately 30 - 60 days. When the Madden-Julian oscillation is in its wet phase over a hurricane-prone region, the chances for tropical storm activity are greatly increased. The main negative for 93L continues to be lack of spin. The University of Wisconsin 850 mb relative vorticity analysis is showing that spin at 850 mb (roughly 5,000 feet in altitude) has increased over the past day, but 93L needs to acquire additional spin before it can grow more organized. I speculate that it is this lack of spin that contributed to the loss of much of 93L's heavy thunderstorm activity last night. The storm is now going through a cycle where it is building another respectable mass of heavy thunderstorms, and the increased inflow of low-level air that will feed these thunderstorms will likely enhance 93L's spin today. The Hurricane Hunters are on call to investigate 93L on Wednesday afternoon.
Figure 1. Morning visible satellite image of the central Caribbean disturbance 93L.
Forecast for 93L
NHC is giving 93L a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Thursday morning, which is a reasonable forecast. Given the storm's current lack of spin and relatively modest amount of heavy thunderstorms, the earliest I'd expect 93L to become a tropical depression would be Wednesday afternoon, with Thursday more likely. Wind shear is expected to be low, less than 10 knots, over the central and western Caribbean this week. Water temperatures will be warm, dry air absent, and the MJO favorable. I don't see any major impediments to the storm becoming a tropical depression by Thursday, and it is a bit of a surprise to me that the computer models have been reluctant to develop 93L. The GFS, NOGAPS, and UKMET models do not develop 93L, and the ECMWF model doesn't develop 93L until after it crosses the Yucatan Peninsula and enters the Gulf of Mexico in a about a week. The current (2am EDT) run of the GFDL model predicts 93L will be a weak tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico in five days; its previous run had 93L as a major hurricane in the Gulf. Given all this model reluctance and the current disorganization of 93L, I give the storm a low (less than 20% chance) of becoming a hurricane in the Caribbean. Expect 93L to bring flooding rains of 3 - 6 inches to Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and southwestern Haiti today through Wednesday. These rains will spread to the Cayman Islands and central Cuba by Thursday, and western Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Friday. The current run of the SHIPS model has 93L slowing down late this week to a forward speed of just 6 knots (7 mph) from its current speed of about 10 mph, in response to a weakening in the steering currents. A trough of low pressure is expected to swing down over the Eastern U.S. early next week. If this trough is strong enough and 93L develops significantly, the storm could get pulled northwards and make landfall along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast in the oil spill region. This is the solution of the Canadian GEM model. If 93L stays weak and/or the trough is not so strong, the storm would get pushed west-northwestwards towards the Texas coast. This is the solution of the ECMWF model. The amount of wind shear in the Gulf of Mexico next week is highly uncertain. There is currently a band of high shear near 30 knots over the Gulf, and some of the models predict this shear will remain over the Gulf over the next 7 - 10 days. However, other models predict that this band of high shear will retreat northwards and leave the Gulf nearly shear-free. The long-term fate of 93L remains very murky. My main concerns at this point are the potential for 3 - 6 inches of rain in Haiti over the next two days, and the possibility 93L could become a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico next week.
Elsewhere in the tropics
None of the reliable computer models is calling for tropical cyclone formation elsewhere in the Atlantic over the next seven days.
Floods in China and Burma kill over 250
The deadliest and most destructive weather-related disaster on the planet so far this year is occurring in southern China and northern Burma, where a week of heavy rains has caused flooding that has claimed over 250 lives. The heavy rains and floods ravaging 10 southern Chinese provinces had killed 199 and left 123 missing as of 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, a Ministry of Civil Affairs statement said. Damage is estimated at $6.2 billion. Floods and landslides in neighboring areas of Myanmar (Burma) have claimed at least 63 lives in the past week.

Wind and ocean current forecast for the BP oil disaster
Southeast to east winds less than 10 knots will blow in the northern Gulf of Mexico today through Saturday, according to the latest marine forecast from NOAA. The resulting weak ocean currents should cause little motion of the oil slick, according to the latest trajectory forecasts from NOAA and the State of Louisiana. The long range outlook is uncertain, and will depend upon what 93L does.

Nueclear Healthcare (NHL) to receive $4 million from Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) for PET scan development
Bangalore: Nueclear Healthcare (NHL), a radiology diagnostics company aiming to provide low cost nuclear imaging services in India, has entered into a binding agreement to receive $4 million (Rs22 crore) from Norwest Venture Partners (NVP).
NHL, an affiliate of Thyrocare Technologies that previously received an investment from NVP, will use the new funds to further its goal of making affordable positron emission tomography scans (PET) accessible to cancer patients. Also Mr Sohil Chand, MD, NVP India, will join NHL's board of directors.
NHL plans to offer substantial discounts as compared to market prices through planned facility development and extremely attractive rates for purchasing equipment through its partnership with GE Healthcare. NHL's pricing will be more than 50 percent below current market prices in order to generate large volumes while still creating economic value.
NHL will provide PET-CT and selectively SPECT scanning facilities through standalone centers. In cities where there is potential for high offtake, NHL will co-locate cyclotrons in order to make the raw material supply for PET-CTs more efficient and economical.
Dr A Velumani, founder and managing director, Nueclear Healthcare, said that, "Our continued partnership with NVP validates the firm's commitment to the diagnostic healthcare industry. Much like Thyrocare helped create and expand the market for pathology over the last 16 years by making tests affordable and available pan-India, NHL aims to amplify the market for PET-CT-based testing based on a similar philosophy. NVP's investment in NHL will foster sustained growth and discovery while we offset costs for cancer patients who are most in need of this invaluable technology."

Craft brewing business is growing in Wisconsin
State ranks 9th in breweries per capita
MADISON, Wis. - Craft brewing is a booming business in Wisconsin, which ranks ninth among breweries per capita by state.
Last fall, Brian Destree took over brewmaster duties at Middleton's Capital Brewery, one of southern Wisconsin's craft brew staples since 1986.
Before Capital Brewery, the University of Wisconsin-Madison grad worked for Miller-Coors, giving him a unique perspective between craft brewers' personal touch and the bottom line of big business brewing.
"Kind of as I progressed from the corporate ladder at Miller, the farther and farther away I got from actually being in a brewery and doing hands-on brewing work," Destree said.
And while beer makers Miller-Coors and Anheuser-Busch sell the most beer, Wisconsin's craft breweries continue to find a larger piece of the market.
There are 75 breweries statewide, which translates to about 75,000 people for every Wisconsin brewery.
Regulars such as Doug Griffin, a self-proclaimed beer snob, give the Old Fashioned in Madison a reason to take craft beer very seriously.
"Before it was cool to drink a bourbon-aged coffee stout, I was there," Griffin said.
Establishments such as the Old Fashioned are so dedicated to the craft beer movement that they scour the whole state to find beers many people have never heard of.
"We specialize in all Wisconsin beer. We try to focus as much on craft beer. We have 52 different craft beers, all Wisconsin, and over 100 bottles," said Ashley Kinart, a bartender at the Old Fashioned.Craft brewing business is growing in Wisconsin
"I think it goes with the local food movement, where people want to know where they're getting their food, and they want to know where they're getting their drink. They can count on these local businesses to produce a good product, use good ingredients and create good flavors," Griffin said.
Madison's Ale Asylum, which first hit the craft brew scene in 2006, has recently expanded to keep up with demand.
Otto Dilba, operating manager at Ale Asylum, said differing philosophies will always keep craft brewers relevant in the long run.
"Over time, the larger breweries have made a focused decision to make their product as close to water as humanly possible because it saves on costs. (They're) concerned about the bottom line. You don't see craft breweries doing that," Dilba said.
Highlighting the importance of craft brewing in the local economy, New Glarus Brewing Company's owner Deb Carey sat with first lady Michelle Obama at the president's State of the Union address Tuesday.
New Glarus Brewing Company recently announced an expansion plan, increasing the brewery's production capacity and providing job growth in the state.

Family: Laniidae, Shrikes view all from this family
Description ADULT Has pale blue-gray upperparts. Black mask extends to bill, but does not continue around forehead. Wings are mainly black, but note white patch at base of primaries (striking in flight and a bit more extensive than in Loggerhead). Tail is long and wedge-shaped, mainly black, but with white outer tips. Underparts are pale gray. JUVENILE Has gray and white elements of adult's plumage replaced by light brown or tan; underparts are scaly and mask is absent or very faint. Some birds begin to acquire adult plumage during first winter.
Dimensions Length: 9-10 1/2" (23-27 cm)
Habitat Breeds across Arctic North America, favoring tundra with scattered trees and open taiga forest; widely scattered and never numerous. Winters across central North America and then favors open country with scattered trees.
Observation Tips Obvious and easy to spot when perched in the open, but stays in cover for long periods, when it is surprisingly unobtrusive and hard to find for such a striking bird.
Range Eastern Canada, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Plains, Alaska, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Western Canada, California, Texas, Northwest
Voice Song is a series of harsh phrases; calls include an insistent kree, kreeÖ.
Discussion Striking and impressive-looking predatory passerine that often perches on a dead branch or overhead wire. Similar to Loggerhead, but bulkier; subtle plumage differences also aid separation of the two species. Captures prey up to the size of small birds and mammals. Has similar habit to Loggerhead of impaling victims on thorns or barbed wire and dismembering them using its powerful, hook-tipped bill. Sexes are similar.

When David Ortiz hit a game-winning single in the 14th inning of game five of the 2004 ALCS, it was a signature moment of the team's miraculous comeback from a three-games-to-none deficit. The series returned to New York, where the Red Sox went on to defeat the Evil Empire, and then to break the Curse of the Bambino and win their first World Series in 86 years.
Andrew Goddard missed it. He was being booked for an incident two innings earlier, when his reaction to a bad call against the home team led to his eviction, and, he alleges in a new lawsuit filed in federal court, a beating from two police officers and false charges of resisting arrest.
It started when David Ortiz drew a two-out walk in the bottom of the 12th, and attempted to steal second base. He was called out, even though Derek Jeter clearly missed the tag.
Goddard, 24 at the time, was sitting with his brother, low on the third-base side, and by his own admission in court documents "express[ed] his frustration" with the umpire. Specifically, he stood up, swore, "and extended his middle finger."
Goddard's attorney, Howard Friedman, feels confident that any Boston jury would consider his client's actions reasonable, if not tame. Certainly no different than what the other 34,000 or so fans in attendance did.
But according to Boston police officers patrolling the stands, Goddard's obscenities were out of line, and potentially upsetting to children at the game.
Offended by his emotional defense of Ortiz, two officers ejected Goddard. On the way out, Goddard alleges in his lawsuit, one of the officers shoved him repeatedly. After his brother asked for that officer's badge number, the claim continues, the other officer punched Goddard in the throat; then, when he was lying prone, they both dropped their full weight on him before handcuffing and arresting him. Goddard was charged with trespassing, assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and disturbing a public assembly.
A jury didn't buy the cops' version, and acquitted Goddard on all charges in February 2006. Now, Goddard wants the officers and the city to compensate him for injuries, false arrest, and embarrassing him in front of his brother. Not to mention, missing the end of the game.
City officials would not comment on the pending case, which was filed this April. In responses submitted in court this month, the officers deny that the incident took place as Goddard describes.
The city of Boston has paid out more than $15 million in recent years to victims of the police department's misconduct, with many more cases pending. They include allegations of wrongful conviction, wrongful death, excessive use of force, and other serious charges. Most — such as this one — occurred before the city hired new police commissioner Ed Davis this past year and revamped some of the command and internal-investigation structures. Some of the abuses stem from investigations into murders, rapes, or other serious crimes. Others, including the one alleged by Goddard, seem to start with little or no provocation.
Perhaps the most notorious of these incidents occurred just three days after Goddard's, after the Red Sox completed their ALCS victory. Police officers opened fire with "less-lethal" pepper-pellet guns, injuring several people and killing 21-year-old Emerson student Victoria Snelgrove. Like Goddard, her only apparent offense was rooting for the home team; the city paid $5 million to Snelgrove's family to settle their lawsuit.

Idaho no match for LA Tech in 70-28 loss
RUSTON, La. – Not much went right for the Idaho Vandals Saturday night at Louisiana Tech as they fell 70-28 in a Western Athletic Conference game.
From the opening play – when a fumble gave the ball to the Bulldogs on Idaho's one, through 839 offensive yards, Louisiana Tech's high-powered offense was more than the Vandals could handle.
"If we're going to be in a shoot-out, we have to shoot," coach Robb Akey said. "When we did get settled in, we didn't get the run game stopped."
Of Tech's 839 yards, 408 were rushing and of those, 232 were by slippery Kenneth Dixon, who also scored six of the Bulldogs' 10 touchdowns.
"That's a heck of a thing to go through as a player," Akey said. "But I've got respect for them. They kept fighting."
The Bulldogs were on the scoreboard in no time after Todd Handley fumbled the opening kickoff and Louisiana Tech recovered inside the Idaho one. Kenneth Dixon scored on the one-yard run with just 12 seconds gone in the game. The PAT kick was good for the 7-0 lead.
Missed tackles haunted the Vandals on La Tech's next drive, which covered 66 yards in 1:02 and was capped on the fifth play of the drive when Dixon went in from two yards out for a 14-0 Tech lead with 12:56 to go in the first.
Idaho came right back, though, when Blackman tossed the ball to Roman Runner who found Najee Lovett behind the defense for the 58-yard scoring play with 12:17 left in the first. Trey Farquhar's kick made it 14-7.
The Bulldogs parlayed a fourth-down gamble near midfield into their third TD when Colby Cameron hooked up with Ray Holley for a two-yard score with 10:03 left in the first for the 21-7 edge.
The track meet continued when Handley atoned for the fumble when he romped 92 yards on the ensuing kickoff return to cut the gap to 21-14 with 9:50 to play in the first. It was the longest kickoff return of the season for the Vandals and Handley's first career TD.
Dixon scored his third TD of the night – and the first quarter wasn't halfway over yet, when he pushed through from the one with 7:58 left in the opening quarter for a 28-14 Tech lead.
The first quarter scoring wasn't over yet. The Bulldogs added another on a pass from Cameron – this one to Quinton Patton and covering 20 yards for the 35-14 lead with :49 to go in the first. With that score, the Bulldogs set a record for most points against the Vandals in a quarter – a mark that had been 34 by the 1968 Weber State team.
Myles White slipped tackles and rolled through the defense to make it 42-14 after collecting a 36-yard pass from Cameron with 13:01 to go in the first half.
Dixon chalked up another one when he ran in from seven yards out with 9:50 to go in the first half for the 49-14 Tech lead.
Defensive tackle Jesse Davis set up the Vandals' next score when he recovered a Tech fumble at the Idaho 13 and lumbered 84 yards before being pulled down at the Bulldogs' three. He fumbled as he went down and Vince Keener recovered at the Tech one. The ball originally was given back to Tech. After the replay, the officials deemed Keener had covered Davis' fumble and the ball went to the Vandals. James Baker scored from the one to make it 49-21 with 4:08 to go in the first half.
Back came Dixon for his fifth score of the first half when he went in from the two after setting up the TD with a 48-yard run. With 3:17 to go in the half, the Bulldogs went up 56-21. Those 56 points tied the 56 Washington State scored in a half against the Vandals in 1975.
Idaho held Tech on the Bulldogs' first drive of the second half and drove to the Tech 20 before yielding the ball on downs on its first drive of the half. The Bulldogs did score on their next possession – it was Dixon again, on a 20-yard run with 7:28 to go in the third for the 63-21 lead.
On Idaho's next possession, Lovett had first-down yardage near midfield on a reception from Blackman but fumbled and Tech covered it at the Idaho 44. Zach Griffith made it 70-21 when he ran in from the three with 4:02 left in the third.
The Bulldogs were moving again when the ball popped loose and Gary Walker recovered it at the Idaho 33. The opportunity was short-lived as Blackman was intercepted two plays later and Tech had the ball back at the Idaho 47 with 19 seconds left in the third.
As the fourth quarter opened, Tech was forced to punt for the first time in the game but the Vandals still didn't come up with good field position with the drive starting at the Bulldogs' five. A three-and-out and a 57-yard Bobby Cowan punt and Tech had the ball back at its own 44 with 11:52 to play.
However, on first-down Brandon Davis lost the ball and it popped up to Ryan Edwards to give the ball back to the Vandals at the 50. Mike LaGrone scored on a one-yard pass from Blackman with 8:31 left after a key fourth-down conversion by Mike Scott followed by a 33-yard pickup by Jahrie Level – both passes from Blackman. Farquhar's kick made it 70-28.

Cadet EBHN1000W Softheat Hydronic Baseboard Heater - White
The Cadet EBHN1000W Softheat Hydronic Baseboard Heater (13359) is a cost effective heating solution for bedrooms and other rooms in need of a quiet source of heat. When placed properly under a window, the convection helps to counter the cold air dropped from the window and gently circulates warm air throughout the room. Quiet operation makes this heater ideal for use in bedrooms, nurseries and home offices. All baseboard heaters must be used with a thermostat (not included) and Cadet recommends a wall-mounted thermostat or a field mount thermostat kit. The environmentally friendly fluid provides a soft and gentle heat, able to maintain a more consistent room temperature with fewer on/off cycles.
Baseboard Heater:Using convection to circulate air, cold air falls from the window area as the warm air rises from the heater causing the air to tumble throughout the room
Softheat:This soft, gentle heat was designed to reduce the effects of indoor allergens while providing a comfortably warm room
Thermostat:All baseboard units must be used with a thermostat (not included) and Cadet recommends a wall-mounted thermostat or an optional field mount thermostat kit

Obviously Robinson Crusoe Island got its name because it is pretty isolated and the only thing on the island is the resort that you stay in. Meals and activities were all included in the price and the only thing you had to pay for was drinks. The Fijian people who work there put on some pretty cool fire shows and dances etc. Me and Chris, a guy from Greece, come close to getting blown out to sea when we tried to Kayak to the reef in pretty windy conditions. Only we were oblivious to how strong the wind was behind us. When we realised the reef was a lot further away than it first appeared we turned around. That was when it dawned on us we had a major struggle to get back to the island with the waves getting bigger and wind getting stronger
I would have been tempted to stay on the island longer had it not been for the weather but I figured if I'm going to be paying to lounge around doing nothing in the rain I might as well save my money for my final stop on this trip. The place I've been looking forward to the most. The place where I've been tempted everyday to just kick this whole journey in the head and go straight there. Yes. VEGAS. So I've brought my flight forward and flying out tomorrow night to L.A. Then it's make or break time and if necessary every penny I've got is going with me to the poker tables and I'm not leaving until either I'm totally skint (probably) or I've made more money than I started with when I left. So I'll probably see you all back at home in the next few days. Wish me luck. Time to gamble!!!!

Over the next few months, as the Warriors (and their new coach) shop for recruits, they need to look for attitude as much as ability.
The Auckland NRL team desperately needs a hard man, an enforcer and would do well to heed the lessons from Warriors No86, 121 and 123.
Kevin Campion was Warrior No86. He was 29 when he arrived at Mt Smart, a grand final winner with a big reputation. He soon delivered.
Campion was granite tough, with an incredible work ethic. He set the tone and men like Monty Betham, Awen Guttenbeil and Jerry Seuseu followed, giving the Warriors a tougher edge. Campion was physically intimidating - who will forget his toe-to-toe fight with Shane Webcke in 2002, when the bloodied Bronco came off second best? - and mentally relentless.
He was around for only two years at Mt Smart but that coincided with their first finals appearance (2001) and their first grand final (2002).
Ruben Wiki (No123) and Steve Price (121) had a similar impact. They set new standards in training - slackness would not be tolerated - and Wiki in particular was a great role model for the young breed coming through. Success soon followed, with memorable runs to the finals in 2007 and 2008.
This season it hasn't been the same.
Micheal Luck, who filled a crucial role in terms of setting high standards, was away through injury for most of the season.
Sam Rapira is another who tends to be an enforcer and ensure the right attitudes are in place, especially at training, but was sidelined for almost all of the year.
Nathan Friend had a big influence but struggled with injury and was the new kid on the block while captain Simon Mannering had enough trying to lead the side and find a fix for their defensive issues.
There is an interesting parallel with the Blues, who struggled all season to compensate for the sizeable hole left by Jerome Kaino. It wasn't just on the field; Kaino used to set the barometer at training and his absence saw standards slip.
Though their forays in the 1990s were unsuccessful, perhaps the Warriors could look to the north of England for an enforcer figure. James Graham has been a huge fillip for the Bulldogs while the Rabbitohs have got great value out of Sam and Luke Burgess. Either way they need to find someone - a Michael Crocker type figure, a Nate Myles, a Glenn Stewart or an Anthony Watmough; Jeremy Smith would have been perfect when he became available at the end of 2010 but the Sharks got there first.
