Trailing by 18 with 6:29 to play in the first half, Valparaiso rallied to within five at halftime and then locked down on defense in the second half, allowing Akron just six field goals after the break as the Crusaders earned a 74-66 victory in non-league action Saturday at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
"This was just a fun, wonderful night," said Crusader head coach Homer Drew. "We were worried coming in because Akron is in second place in the MAC, and is one of the top teams in the nation at forcing turnovers, so we knew we had to handle the basketball well against them. We did an excellent job over the last 30 minutes not turning the ball over, maintaining possession and getting good offensive opportunities."
The first half was marked by sharp-shooting offense from both sides, as Akron and Valpo each shot better than a 60% clip in the opening stanza. Akron led by just three at 16-13 with 11:52 remaining in the stanza, but the Zips proceeded to put together a surgical 21-6 run over the next 5:10. Six different Akron players scored during the sustained spurt, with Nate Linhart capping the run with a 3-pointer to make it 37-19 with 6:29 to play in the half.
But the Crusaders responded immediately, wiping away over half of Akron's biggest lead over the next two minutes. Howard Little (Chicago, Ill./Stoneridge [Calif.] School) answered Linhart's triple with a 3-pointer of his own, and after a Jake Diebler (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky) steal, De'Andre Haskins (Long Beach, Calif./La Lumiere [Ind.] School) knocked down a pair of free throws. Diebler then canned a stop-and-pop trifecta on the fast break after an Akron miss, and when Cameron Witt (Launceston, Tasmania, Australia/Launceston) hit a leaner with 4:37 to play in the half, the Crusaders' deficit was down to 37-29.
The lead hovered around the ten-point mark for the next couple minutes, and it was 43-32 Akron with 2:30 remaining in the half before Valpo closed the opening stanza with a quick spurt. Andrew Ferry (Milwaukee, Wis./Milwaukee Lutheran) opened the run by splitting a pair of free throws, and after an Akron offensive foul, Urule Igbavboa (Oakdale, Minn./Tartan) got free inside for a layup.
Little came up with a steal as the Zips were bringing the ball up and got the ball to Haskins, who returned the favor underneath to Little for a fast-break basket to cut it to six. Jimmy Conyers slowed Valpo's momentum with a jumper with 57 seconds to play, but after the two teams traded misses, Igbavboa came down with a defensive board with five seconds remaining and got it to Diebler, who was fouled on a 3-point attempt at the buzzer. The senior calmly drilled all three free throws heading into the locker room to make it 45-40 Akron at the break.
The two squads played very even for the first few minutes of the second half, as the Zips pushed the lead out to just eight points at 53-45 with 15:28 to play on a putback in the lane by Mike Bardo. But from that point, Akron scored just 13 points the rest of the way, as the Crusaders held the Zips to just three field goals over the final 15+ minutes. Valpo got within one possession by scoring six straight in a minute span, getting baskets off turnovers by Michael Rogers (Kingston, Jamaica/Redemption [N.Y.] Christian) and Diebler and a tip dunk by Witt to close the gap to two points at 51-53 with 12:45 to play.
It was still a two-point game with 10:07 remaining when Igbavboa got called for a foul during the scramble for a rebound, and a technical was assessed to Drew during the stoppage. Akron knocked down three of the four ensuing free throw attempts, but the sequence seemed to ignite the Crusader seniors. On their next offensive trip, Diebler fed Igbavboa with a perfect alley-oop to cut it back to three, and the next time down, Diebler put Igbavboa in position for the old fashioned 3-point play to tie the game at 59 with 9:18 to play.
The scoring would slow from that point, as Akron held a 62-61 advantage with just over five minutes to play. That would be its last lead however, as Igbavboa found a cutting Rogers for an easy layup to give Valpo its first outright lead of the game with 5:13 to play. Free throws extended the advantage to four until Akron's Darryl Roberts knocked down a shot with 3:32 left, but a minute later, Haskins nailed a pull-up jumper from the foul line to push it back out to four points.
Brett McKnight drained a pair from the foul line to cut it back to two points, but with 1:12 to play, Diebler hit two of his own to again make it a two-possession game. The Crusaders forced an Akron miss, but turned the ball back over to the Zips with 40 seconds left. Chris McKnight's layup attempt was swatted away by Igbavboa into the hands of Little, who was fouled and calmly made two more free throws with 32 seconds left to extend the lead to six. One last Akron turnover sealed the game in the Crusaders' favor.
Valpo showcased an extreme balance on Saturday evening, as six different players finished in double figures. Little led the way with 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting, while Haskins added 12 points and six rebounds off the bench. Igbavboa and Witt each scored 11, with Igbavboa also ripping down a game-high eight rebounds. Rogers and Diebler chipped in ten points apiece. Diebler also matched career highs with six assists and four steals while not committing a turnover.
"I thought this was probably De'Andre's best all-around game here," said Drew. "He really did a magnificent job rebounding, especially on the defensive end, holding Akron to only one shot. He, Urule and Howard did a superb job on the defensive boards in the last five minutes."
Akron (17-10) was paced by 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting by Linhart. Brett and Chris McKnight each had 12 points as well in the losing effort. The Zips shot at a sizzling 68.2% (15-of-22) clip in the first half, but hit just 28.6% (6-of-21) from the field in the second stanza. Akron also committed 18 turnovers, which the Crusaders were able to convert into 23 points.Valparaiso (8-20) continues its regular-season ending three-game homestand as the Crusaders host Cleveland State on the back end of a doubleheader with the women's team. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., and as always, all the action can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network (WVUR, 95.1 FM, Valparaiso; WAKE, 1500 AM, Valparaiso; WEFM, 95.9 FM, Michigan City) and online at www.valpoathletics.com. Live video and statistics will also be available through the official Crusader website.


text: I was wondering about the use of the present perfect continuous with "for". As most grammars put it, this tense can be used for actions which have recently finished. However, as soon as we add "for" after it, the action described by the tense would seem to be ongoing. So, imagine the following situation. I arrive home after exercising and I announce to my wife: "I'm exhausted. I've been running for two hours". Would that be grammatically correct? I guess American people would rather say "I was running for two hours", but what about British English speakers? Thanks

text: Tyler improved from last year to this, which is a very big deal. But last night was had one of those "oh crap, Tyler's got the ball" moments. Tight game, we need a bucket, and tyler got the ball in perfect post-up position with a defender behind him. West, Roy, or Danny would have just pivoted and drilled the easy turnaround. But Tyler had absolutely no idea what to do with the ball. He fumbled around for a moment, then passed it out. I'm glad he passed it instead of going up with no plan, but it was painfully obvious that he still lacks a go-to move in the post.

"Hawaiian Trees of Kauai"
You would not expect to find a tree like this one on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. In fact, this is more the type of tree that I saw when I lived in the good ole Pacific Northwest! It resembles a fir tree, and I certainly had many Douglas firs around my home in Seattle.

Prospectus Matchups
Walkfest, 2006
Best Matchup (opponents with best combined Prospectus Hit List rankings): Toronto Blue Jays (7th) @ New York Yankees (1st)
In spite of their loss to the Devil Rays Wednesday night, New York's 14 walks in the game remind us that the Yankees are once again asserting themselves as the biggest bunch of bat droppers in the land. In 1931, the Yankees became the first team ever to draw 700 walks in a season. The next year, they became the second, setting the team record in the process. By the end of the decade, they had done it eight times without any other team having done it. In the late '40s, there occurred in the American League a walk explosion the likes of which we have not seen since and the '32 Yankees team walk records fell. The three highest walks-per-game totals ever came in the three-year period of 1948-1950. In those seasons, A.L. batters drew 4.3, 4.6 and 4.4 walks on a per-game basis.
These years are significant to the 2006 Yankees because, after their walkfest on Wednesday night, they have an outside shot at reclaiming the team record set by a club in that period. Putting aside length of season, here are the most team walks ever drawn:
835: 1949 Boston Red Sox
In all, 30 American League teams have drawn 700 walks or more. Only seven National League teams have done it. The first, and still the team with the league record, was the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers with 732. That would rank 15th in the American League all-time annals.
With 103 walks in their first 20 games, the Yankees are at a pace to draw 834 in 2006. That would put them right there with the '49 Red Sox. True, this is a rather small sample size from which to be making projections. After all, a 14-walk anomaly at this stage of the season like the one against Tampa Bay can push a projection up a hill pretty fast. Even removing that game from the accounting, however, the Yankees are working at a 759 pace, putting them in the top 10.
That the Yankees could even have a shot at this now illustrates how the American League appears to be dancing away from the low-walk precipice of 2005. Last year, for the first time since the pitcher's coup of 1968, the American League averaged just 3.0 walks per game. This is a far cry from the walk spike of 1999-2000 when the league averaged in the 3.7-3.8 range. The National League saw similar numbers in those years as the league amassed nearly 10,000 walks in 2000. The N.L.'s drop-off has not been so precipitous after that, getting no lower than 3.3 in this century. This year so far, the A.L. is back up around the 2001-04 range of 3.2-3.3 per game while the National is at 3.6. (There was a time when the American was the walking league compared to the National. While the presence of such renowned walkers as Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Max Bishop and Eddie Yost certainly accounts for some portion of this, it can't answer for the fact that from 1913 to 1969 the AL had more walks per game than the NL in every year but 1928 and 1944.)
As for going after the record, the Yankees are getting maximum walk production out of Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Jorge Posada has been his usual selective self while Hideki Matsui is operating at an acceptable level. If the Yankees have any hope of getting the record, they're going to need to see more from Gary Sheffield (one walk per 14 at bats so far) and Robinson Cano (three walks in over 70 plate appearances). Sheffield has been unusually walk-averse given his previous record. Cano shows no sign of fitting into the Yankee method any time soon. Among the regulars, that leaves just Bernie Williams. Just two years ago, he was walking about once every eight plate appearances. As the rest of his game showed signs of decline, the ability to work a free pass, at least, remained. Even that appears to be gone now.
How long will the Yankees stand for Williams? So far, Joe Torre has shown a great reliance on his starting nine. Whether or not Williams remains a part of that body depends mostly on the Yankees' sense of nostalgia weighed against their need to keep the Red Sox and Blue Jays at bay. If things keep going as they are, however, this version of the Yankees could end up getting more mileage out of its starting lineup than any team of recent memory. So far, they have been allotted about 92% of the plate appearances. Reserves Andy Phillips, Miguel Cairo, Kelly Stinnett and Bubba Crosby have seen precious little playing time. Between them, they have started just eight games.
As the schedule thickens, Posada will be due more days off. One would also assume that in a lineup where the second-youngest player is 30 there would have to be numerous provisions for time off. In any case, I wouldn't bet on the 2006 Yankees besting this lot, but, given the strength of their bench, you can't blame them for trying. What follows are the teams the Yankees need to beat to become the most starter-centric (or bench-averse, if you prefer) team of the Expansion Era. The method for identifying these teams was devised by Keith Woolner. He describes his methodology this way: "I looked at each player and assigned him to the position most frequently played in that season. Then, for all the players at a given position on the team, the one with the most total plate appearances was considered the starter. All other players were bench players. Under this scheme, it's possible for a team to have fewer than nine starters (eight for non-DH teams, as I removed all pitcher plate appearances from consideration."
.891: 1962 Minnesota Twins (91-71; 2nd place)
.884: 1975 Oakland A's (98-64; 1st in American League West)
.881: 1972 Houston Astros (84-69; 2nd in National League West)
.881: 1978 Montreal Expos (76-86; 4th in National League East)
.877: 1984 Boston Red Sox (86-76; 4th in American League East)
Just for fun, here are the teams who got the least amount of playing time out of their core starters:
.535: 2003 Cincinnati Reds (69-93 5th in National League Central)
.546: 1993 New York Mets (59-103; 6th in National League East)
.555: 1976 Montreal Expos (55-107; 6th in National League East)
.556: 2004 Kansas City Royals (58-104; 5th in American League Central)
.558: 2005 Los Angeles Dodgers (71-91; 4th in National League West)

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Archive: 2009 - Page 1
Following the Christmas Day capture of a passenger, dubbed "The Underwear Bomber," who attempted to blow up an American airliner, controversy swirls around the use and efficacy of full body scanners and the fate of the images they generate. At present, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is considering two types of scanning technologies to upgrade its passenger screening systems.
The first kind, millimeter-wave sensors, emit radio frequencies to produce pairs of detailed, front-and-back, 3-D images of passengers that look like photographic negatives, and can detect detect liquids and other potential explosives hidden beneath clothing. Click here to see some sample images.
A second technology being promoted involves backscatter x-ray scanners, which send out low-intensity beams to create a single-sided image that reveal objects carried on passengers' bodies. To see samples of those, click here.
Full body scanners—dubbed "naked scanners" by those who characterize the security measures as "virtual strip searches"—are, it turns out, already in limited use. According to the New York Times,
full-body imaging machines are in place in nineteen U.S. airports and are the primary method of screening at six. A recent article in BusinessWeek reports that 300 advanced scanning imagers are on order and ready for delivery in 2010, and that prices for shares of stock in companies producing the technology—including Rapiscan, Smiths Group Plc., and L-3 Communications Holdings Inc.—are on the rise.
Whether scanning will or will not contribute to airport congestion and security lines is debatable. Scans take from 20-45 seconds per passenger, although they cut down on the time spent removing shoes, coats, belts, and other concealing articles of clothing. But central to discussions about the use of scanners are privacy and legal issues, such as what, exactly, the images will show. According to manufacturers and the TSA, details of facial features and of other body parts will be blurred when screeners take, see, and scrutinize the images. Screeners will be located in a separate area, away from the scanners, so they will never see the passengers being screened. Security personnel stationed at the scanners will never see the scans that are made. The TSA says it will not keep, store, or transmit images. To get a sense of what the process is like, here's an ABC News video showing a reporter testing out the process.
So, with all these assurances, why are some people still voicing concern? Surveys show that while many are willing to be scanned head-to-toe for security's sake, others are nervous. Given recent examples of supposedly-secure digital information that's been leaked or become available, some skepticism is understandable. Would images that, for example, reveal breast implants or prosthetic devices a breach of privacy? Are scans made of children the equivalent of child pornography in certain locales and states? While it's not a national security issue, will images of well-known people wind up on Internet gossip sites? Is scanning be offensive to those whose religions forbid them from being seen naked?
The scanning debate raises an interesting question; is visibility a guarantee of public safety? Some security and terrorism experts suggest that other measures, such as tightening up visa reviews in high risk countries, might prove to be just as effective. So, let's wait, watch what happens, and revisit the story when more news breaks.

The Wedding Story
When I read Laurie Lambrecht's recent contribution to click! about wedding photography it triggered more thoughts about the comparisons between photography's future and its past. While many fine art photographers known for other work pay the bills with work at weddings, by capitol "H" history of photography standards, wedding photography is usually seen as the last refuge of scoundrels, the photographic equivalent of Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. I heard of one photographer who only shoots people's shoes at a wedding. But photographs of brides and bridal parties, brides and grooms, and relatives have been with photography from the beginning.
At the moment photography entered the United States and our visual vocabulary it brought with it a mix of conflicting emotions. It was on the one hand a miraculous invention that could "let nature paint herself" exactly. As photography studios proliferated portrait photographs had more and more currency in the world and a walk down most American main streets would be a walk down a gallery of faces that glinted out from studio storefronts. To read any of the many accounts of such an experience the act of seeing could also be a bit spooky. And it was speculated that revealing your face to the camera for a portrait might also produce a portrait of the "inner you," and that could be embarrassing, even dangerous. Long before the police blotters filled up with mug shots and an entire theory of visual forensics was created, writers speculated that criminals could be revealed by the camera eye. The medium also offered to a mid-nineteenth century America struggling with the chaos of an economic crisis (a national malaise not to be solved financially or spiritually until the 1849 discovery of gold in California) material for an engaging and uplifting story about the good and evil effects of looking, seeing, and posing. Popular fiction, especially in the new form of the sentimental short story, increasingly included allusions to photography. In many stories a hero, usually a young professional man adrift in the big city, sees a cased daguerreotype in a studio's storefront display, falls in love with the image, and becomes obsessed with meeting its "original." After several exciting adventures fending off brigands and thieves he finds his true love, and in a daguerreian love-at-first-sight happy ending, marries the girl. The true and noble character of both hero and nation are perpetuated, all thanks to the photograph. Wedding portraits continue to tell a good story and photographs, including some by Laurie Lambrecht, add an important piece to the cultural narrative. Each week the New York Times' Sunday Styles includes a substantial section of wedding photographs. Formal portraits of couples and individual brides wearing white are more often than not surrounded by informal poses of couples at home or outdoors. Following the rules of the pose—couples are urged by the Times editor to keep their eyebrows on the same level—they seem to all be part of a balanced formula of happiness. On the newspaper page a new age of wedding diversity—black, white, gay, and straight—forms a comforting pattern of photographic sameness. Along with the picture is a text that details the courtship. Though individual details may differ, in addition to the usual wedding information of age, occupation, and lineage, the text that accompanies each photograph includes a bit of drama, sometimes tragedy, but always resolution. In the end, someone always gets married.
Merry Foresta is the Former Director of the Smithsonian Photography Initiative.
To have and to hold (snap) . . .
If events are heavily promoted as being once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, people are going to want photographs to remember them by. Weddings are one of the best examples of this need. While the statistics on matrimonial longevity don't look great—in 2008, for example, 46% of all marriages involved a remarriage for one or both spouses and 40% of all marriages ended in divorce—the people who can keep getting married and want to have the pictures taken, as they do it.
Even in advance of the big day, photography proved itself to be a necessity. Brides-to-be flip through the pages of specialized magazines to see what's available and in style. Newspapers announce upcoming nuptials in sections that feature photographs of the betrothed, but some have become so barraged with "unsuitable" images that they now post photo requirements on their websites. Here, for instance is what the New York Times suggests, if you want changes to your marital status to make news:
"While we continue to include formal portraits of couples and individual brides, we also include full-length images of brides in wedding dresses, as well as informal photographs of individuals or couples at home, outdoors or in other attractive settings. Those posing for pictures should be neatly dressed, and the images should be of professional quality .... Couples posing for pictures should arrange themselves with their eyebrows on exactly the same level and with their heads fairly close together. Couple pictures should be printed in a horizontal format."
Until cameras became portable, wedding photography was mostly restricted to studio portraits. But once photo equipment became less cumbersome, and as in-love couples—whose lives were already documented in snapshots, home movies, and videos—grew more image-savvy and demanding, the practice of wedding photography was transformed. Many weddings are produced as carefully as feature films and meant to be experienced as a sequence of photo ops. Good thing, too because the photos taken are destined to become memory tools for couples too distracted by the swirl of activity they've concocted to see, feel, or savor what actually went on. That's why they hire professionals like Laurie Lambrecht, who in her piece for click! describes that on wedding days, it's just as much photography as it is love that makes the world go around.

Montana veteran was 'military liaison' to Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy
When Ryan Payne, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and who now lives off the grid with his family in Montana, saw the Bureau of Land Management forcibly removing Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle off grazing leases on which Bundy had declined to pay fees for two decades, Payne saw another example of over-reach by the federal government and called to offer his aid, and after serving as the de facto military liaison for Bundy, Payne was invited to Utah to participate in a ride through Recapture Canyon to protest the BLM's closure of the trail to motorized travel.

National forests in Colorado on list for mitigation work
In May, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that 94 national forests in 35 states were eligible for funding for large projects to deal with forests killed by insects and drought, and the San Juan and Rio Grande national forests in Southwest Colorado were both on the list, but officials in those forests said they're unsure what that designation means in terms of funding and timelines for projects.

Are vacations relaxing? They're supposed to be, but are they really? How many times have you heard people say they are worn out from being on vacation? Although we would like to think we have a magic recipe for relaxation here at The Island Inn on Sanibel, the truth is we see plenty of vacationers who have a hard time relaxing and letting themselves unwind.
Type A? – Leave it At Home
Does the word "Bluetooth" loom large in your life? Are you stressed about being ready to go on vacation or how quickly it's approaching? Do you have "just a few" conference calls scheduled while you're away? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might have a hard time relaxing on vacation!
If you are a Type A, connected, get-it-done person, use your personality to your advantage and set yourself the goal of having a restful holiday. When you target your energy toward a conflict-free vacation schedule, you'll get a feeling of accomplishment, as well as uninterrupted leisure time. Planning to be absent from your busy life or work schedule is as important as the work itself. Ask yourself: "What will make this vacation successful?" Write down your ideas and pick out some activity (or inactivity!) that will fulfill the requirement. Most likely, there are many things you can do before you leave that will help, such as: clear your work calendar, notify clients or customers that you will be out of reach, arrange to record favorite Flatscreen HD TV shows while you're on vacation so that breaking your routine becomes easier.
Find What You're Looking For
Another important strategy for unwinding on vacation is to set reasonable expectations. As a driven person, you might have a mental picture of what "relaxation" looks like that doesn't match up with reality. A week at the beach won't completely change your personality, nor will it transform your mood as soon as your toes hit the sand. Give yourself time to start noticing the differences – how the air feels, what the bright stars in the clear night skies look like, the leisurely accommodations. Observe how you react to the person renting bikes, or the waiter at the restaurant – is this your business persona? Or is the real you starting to peak through? Smile like you mean it and you might start to feel it; you've got to practice relaxation, just as you would practice a sport. Luckily, the Island Inn at Sanibel is a great place to practice!

I'm not gonna lie. I fully intended on creating a few more Dorm Room Options but I have been running allover town prepping for what could be our largest (& scariest) project to date. Not scary from a Design Aspect, pretty fabulous on that end actually…. but from a Personal Aspect. I am stepping into uncharted territory this week & promise to share every last detail when I can.
I also had to go shopping for myself for this project, which I never enjoy & have been to every store in the Atlanta Area doing so. I bought a lot of options but two of my favorites are this comfy Black & White Stripe Dress & these Leopard Flats that were only $18!!! Why is it so much easier to dress my four year old?
We are also fortunate enough to have my teenage StepSon staying with us during all of this madness. Which has been a great help. While he & my daughter are running around squabbling like the siblings they are (both secretly hiding smiles & giggles) they are keeping each other occupied & get to share some much needed quality time.
So if it's a little quiet around here this week, just know we are working hard on something BIG that I think you all will enjoy.

Bison are as symbolic of the Great Plains as they are of the need for land and wildlife conservation. Once numbering in the tens of millions, bison nearly went extinct by the end of the 19th century due to their wanton slaughter. Had it not been for the concern of numerous individuals, including Theodore Roosevelt, these iconic creatures may have been lost forever. Due to protection and reintroduction efforts by the National Park Service, other land management agencies, and private ranchers bison have made a substantial recovery. Theodore Roosevelt National Park reintroduced bison from the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge to the South Unit of the park in 1956 and to the North Unit in 1962.
Bison Management
Since their reintroduction to the landscape, bison have reestablished themselves strongly. The animals are well-adapted to deal with the harsh North Dakota winter while summer rains support the grass on which they feed. In the absence of their natural predators – wolves and grizzly bears – the bison population increases over time. Increased numbers put pressure on the park's food resources to support the growing herd, as well as other grazing animals such as deer, elk, horses, and bighorn sheep. Using scientific data to assess the needs of the bison and the impact they have on the resources, the park's resource management staff set a goal population of 200-500 bison in the South Unit and 150-250 in the smaller North Unit. Without predators to limit the population of bison, the park must take an active role in maintaining ecologically responsible populations of bison.
The park controls the bison population by conducting roundups on a periodic basis, about every 3-5 years. In these management actions, the entire park staff works together, each team member assigned to a particular task. A helicopter drives bison to the park's wildlife handling facility where bison are funneled from large corrals into increasingly smaller enclosures, down to a squeeze chute where a single bison can be examined by biologists and veterinarians. The veterinarian takes a blood sample to test for diseases such as brucellosis. Each bison is weighed, aged, sexed, and assigned an identification number. Based on goals for various age classes and sex ratios, the park biologist decides whether the bison will be released back into the park or culled from the herd. Culled bison are loaded into trucks and transported to their new home. Current park policy allows the culled bison to be exported to other agencies including zoos, national parks, and to Native American tribes. Between 1962 and 2008, the park shipped out 2,992 bison.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park staff work diligently to conduct wildlife management actions in a low-stress manner. Low stress wildlife handling entails handlers using a minimum of stimuli to get the bison to do what the handlers want them to do. For example, handlers remain quiet, bison are allowed enough space in the pens so as not to become agitated, and bison are moved through the facility with the least amount of physical contact possible. This approach is useful because calm animals are safer and easier to handle, and less likely to hurt one another. Using low-stress techniques during the 2008 bison roundup, the bison being driven by the helicopter entered the handling facility at a walking pace, no animals were seriously injured or killed, and processing went as efficiently and safely as possible.
Aside from population management, the park strives to be a good neighbor to surrounding landowners by maintaining fences to contain bison within the park (as required by North Dakota law) and to return escapees to the park. On occasions when bison escape, park staff employ low-stress wildlife handling techniques to drive bison back into the park. By positioning people strategically at a distance, the bison can be encouraged to move away from the people and toward a park gate at a walking pace. If startled, the bison may begin running and can elude or injure their prospective wranglers with ease. Low-stress wildlife handling is important for achieving the goal of returning bison to the park effectively and safely.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park's bison management efforts allow visitors to enjoy these "lordly" animals, as Theodore Roosevelt described them, in their natural habitat. The efforts also ensure that current and future generations of visitors will find healthy, vibrant wildlife and unmarred landscapes.

Sitting in their brown-hued living room, a woman polishes silverware while her husband reads the paper. Suddenly, a large lump of plaster falls into his lap. Standing on his chair, he investigates the crack in the ceiling, prodding at first, but eventually tearing his way through, as clouds of earth fall on his head. Once the hole is big enough, he pushes his wife through it, into glaring sunlight. She gazes at the gravestone next…to continue reading please subscribe now

Personally though, I wouldn't mess around with synthetic human pheromones. If you're spraying them onto yourself to affect others, beware: they'll affect you too, and we still don't know the consequences of synthetic pheromones interfering with your own hormonal cycle.
I have a science degree in psychology and throughout the years I've noticed that there aren't any very legit studies on this kind of thing to date... seems like an urban legend or something potentially harmful to me.

About this Business
From Our Editors
In 1913, the Sheepherder Bar & Grille's building on Folsom Boulevard was known as the Citrus Inn, and the hoteliers supplemented their income selling produce in front of the building. A 2006 renovation restored the hotel to glory with beautiful wooden rafters, three grand fireplaces, and solid stone columns, creating a refined, rustic vibe. The food has gotten an upgrade since then, too. Guests can enjoy tender prime rib from Niman Ranch or burgers with Boar's Head bacon, traditional shepherd's pie, or wild-caught salmon with dill-infused tartar sauce. The double-cut pork chop comes drenched in red wine sauce and apple-cinnamon butter, and the meatloaf sports a coat of house-made Jack Daniels barbecue sauce. Later, head over to the Citrus Bar (named in honor of the original establishment) for an after-dinner drink and staring contest. Guests arriving on Friday nights will find live music wafting through the restaurant, and a happy hour held from 3–7 p.m. invites diners to kick dinner off in style.

If investors have learned anything from this crisis, it's that Wall Street's analysts are often loath to put a bad spin on a stock. Historically, "sell" ratings have constituted fewer than 1% of analysts' recommendations, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. It's not that analysts have had "an ethical bypass at birth," as was said of Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street. It's more a case of an inherently conflicted system, that is now the focus of a Justice Department investigation.
Analysts are often rewarded for their ability to attract and maintain investment banking business. They're often under pressure from the companies they cover, big institutional investors, and their own employers to maintain positive ratings. These are conflicts that may never be resolved. But there are some steps that could alleviate the pressures that prevent analysts from telling the truth.
First, education is paramount. "Investors need to realize that the free research they're getting is often just a marketing tool," says Kent Womack, a professor at Dartmouth College's Amos Tuck School of Business. Better disclosure also could help. It should be mandatory that reports prominently disclose a firm's specific investment banking relationship with the company it's covering.
And an overhaul of the language of ratings would be helpful as well. In normal English, most ratings sound like variations on "we think this is a decent stock that you should own." In ratings land, terms such as "accumulate" and "hold" are part of an elaborate web of euphemisms in which "neutral" means "dump this loser, and run for your life." And it would make sense if all analysts used the same terms.
To help restore analysts' integrity, their compensation should not be dependent on investment banking fees earned from the companies they cover. At the least, that conflict should be disclosed. Two prominent securities-industry trade groups have recommended that analysts be paid on stock-picking and earnings-estimate prowess, a practice some firms are adopting. Some groups have already barred analysts from owning stocks that they cover.
The SEC may soon approve some of these changes. Still, even the best regulation can't make analysts completely unbiased. A healthy skepticism and a willingness to look beyond retail analysis when choosing stocks may be the best bet of all. Says James Grant, publisher of Grant's Interest Rate Observer: "These days, the newsstands are thick with publications that are more inclined to search rather than cheer." Otherwise, to quote Gekko, "you're walking around blind without a cane, pal."

Yakult/Bacteria cdp-travissully
Looks like Yakult is going for its very own Gold Blend couple in this spot, the follow-up to last year's dinner party spot where an attractive woman turns up late only to find she has been seated next to a nerd. Not put off, the game brunette asks what his interests are and he tells her about his love of bacteria and discusses the benefits of Yakult. This time out the woman spots him in a pub and yells out "Bacteria" and the whole place goes quiet. Written and art directed by the cdp-travissully creative director Gill Sully and directed by Carl Prechezer through 2am Films.

Album Rating: 4.0Killing In The Name Of is an awesome song, but the fact that they repeat the same 3 or so phrases kinda detracts from the song for me
Album Rating: 4.0RATM is one of the best bands to come out of the 90s and they were groundbreaking in their early days and this album is a standout in the RATM catalog, Zack is not the best singer ever but his lyrics more than make up for it. An always insightful band that needs to make a comeback so we can have another set of Rage albums and so that the people who don't whole-heartedly trust the government can have a bigger voice. Killing In The Name is rather lacking lyrically but when you dig into the back-story of the song the lyrics makes a lot of sense, Know Your Enemy is still relevant to this very day (well, nearly this entire album is still relevant).
Album Rating: 5.0within the context of rage i can't really put Zach as a "singer"
he's more of a lyricist/rapper, even though i hate to use the term rapper with this group because then you get those that lump this band in with nu-metal and I just don't see them that way
zach only really "sings" for Inside Out, even then it's in small spurts
This album technically came out before the nu metal craze, but like Faith No More, they were labeled as nu metal by some because so many nu metal bands were influenced by them.
Album Rating: 5.0yeah man, the main reason i can't lump them in with that stuff
Album Rating: 5.0Truth.

Which is why I was filled with great joy during one of my school visits in Arizona. Not only had the students of Zaharis School been read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, each class did a project on it.
In one of the younger classes, the students answered what they, themselves, would as the Old Man of the Moon:
And another class did an-depth study of the book and created this lovely board:
An older class wrote stories about meeting different characters from the book:

For this week's Nameberry Nine, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel invades the blogosphere and finds some wildly creative names.
Huxley, Wolf, Ezra, August, Lochlan, Elsa, Emilia, Petra, Eleni, and Juniper all have something in common – they're all names that I've come across on blogs, names that are unusual in real life, but familiar because I read what their parents write.
Move over supermodels and rock stars. Lately bloggers are among the most daring of baby namers.
Heather Armstrong, a.k.a. Dooce, has girls called Leta Elise and Marlo Iris. Design Mom Gabrielle Blair has six kids with charming, retro appellations: Ralph, Maude, Olive, Oscar, Betty, and June.
Then there's Rebecca Woolf, the blogger behind Girl's Gone Child and the memoir Rockabye. I love her son's name – Archer Sage – and was blown away when she and husband Hal chose Fable Luella for their daughter. Speculation about names for their twins had reached a fever pitch when the girls made their debut last week.
Here, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel's take on the nine cool names in the news this week–intriguing as always.
I'm always hoping celebrities will surprise and delight us with the cool names they choose. (January Jones, I'm looking at you!) A kid who is going to grow up in Hollywood can rock a name like Ptolemy or Apple more easily than one who has to navigate a typical suburban playground. Plus, somehow I doubt being named Suri is the strangest thing about growing up with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as your parents.
My preferences aside, it was refreshing to hear veteran rocker Paul Stanley – father of the normally-named Evan, Colin, Sarah, and new arrival Emily Grace – comment "I guess we're not cool enough for names like Peach or Astro Girl." Pretty down to earth for a guy who made his name in sequins and platform boots.
Nonetheless, Emily did not make my list the week she was born – and she still doesn't. There's a huge category of names that are more intriguing than Emily, but not as tough to wear as Astro Girl. (January, don't rule out Peach. She has potential, especially in the middle spot.)
There has been plenty of baby name news this past week, and here are nine of my favorite names from the headlines:
Clover – The fourth child of actor Neal McDonough and wife Ruvé Robertson wears this lucky nature name. Clover Elizabeth joins sisters London Jane and Catherine Maggie, and big brother Morgan Patrick. Clover combines the fashionable –er ending of Piper and Harper with the botanical appeal of Lily and Violet. She sounds something like the chart-topping Chloe, and makes for an Irish heritage choice more exciting than Erin.
Ezra – Children's classic A Snowy Day celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2012, prompting a recent piece in the New York Times about the author – Ezra Jack Keats. Jack is epidemic, and Keats could catch on, but I have my eye on Ezra. Since Joshua and Noah have proved that boys' names can end in a, too, I can imagine tons of parents discovering Ezra.
Haven – It sounds like a conundrum for the Nameberry forums: my husband is named Cash and we called our first daughter Honor. What can we possibly name her little sister? Jessica Alba managed to solve the puzzle on her own, announcing the birth of second daughter Haven Garner last week. I'm a big fan of the letter H, and the girls' names share a modern virtue name vibe that fits with choices like Journey and Harmony.
Hopestill – Did you catch Leslie Owen's Nameberry guest post on family names last Friday? There's Consider and Mahala and Dwell, but I was most captivated by Hopestill and Truelove. Word names are huge, opening the door for daring parents to embrace phrase names. Truelove is a bit much, but Hopestill has a lovely quality that might appeal to parents seeking an optimistic choice for the middle spot.
Mabel – Someone sent me a YouTube clip of the world's first robot with knees, which means that the robot can run – probably faster than me. The technology is fascinating, but I had to go digging for an explanation of her name. A few articles suggested that it was just Mabel, not MBL-3P0 or anything equally geektastic. Could the biggest innovators in robot technology also be closet name nerds? Then I stumbled on a reference to the Michigan Anthropomorphic Biped with Electric Legs. Still, it is nice to know that when machines take over the world they might have names as appealing as Hal.
At Nameberry, plummeting temperatures mean just one thing: it's time to revisit our annual survey of winter-related names.
Just a few years ago, it might have been fair to say that Winter was the season least friendly to names, while now it seems to offer the newest choices for the adventurous baby namer. Why? Two reasons: Nicole Richie choosing Winter as one of the middle names for her high-profile little girl Harlow, and January Jones, beauteous star of the hit show Mad Men.
Winter is the season name that's seen the least amount of use over the years, yet one that holds the most potential for boys as well as girls. Variations include Winters, Wynter, and (please don't) Wintr. Translations of the seasonal name include the French Hiver (pronounced ee-vair), Italian Inverno, and in Spanish, Invierno. In Dutch and German, it's still Winter and and in Swedish, the comical-sounding (to the English speaker's ear) Vinter.
In mythology, winter was said to be caused by Demeter in grief over the loss of her daughter Persephone, consigned forever to the underworld (but rising again as a baby name, with or without the pronunciation of the final long e).
December, still a highly unusual month name yet certainly a usable one, means ten. Other versions you may want to consider: Decima, name of the Roman goddess of childbirth; Decembra, Decimus, or Decio. December's flower is the narcissus or holly, suggesting the names Narcissa (difficult at best) and Holly (already a bit worn at the edges). December gem Turquoise can work as a name, as can Aqua or its Turkish equivalent Fairuza. Red, however, seems more suitable as December's color, which leads you to a whole spectrum of great names, from Scarlett to Crimson to Rufus and Rory.
We've noticed a lot of expectant parents find their way to nameberry searching for winter baby names. Nicole Richie may have sparked the thought last year when she chose one of the winter baby names for her daughter, Harlow Winter Kate. Or perhaps it was Mad Men's January Jones who trained the spotlight on the idea of winter names.
Names that symbolize winter (or say it straight out) might be thought of as a branch of day names, the ancient class of names used by some cultures in Africa and elsewhere based on the day or time of year a baby is born. These can denote a time of day (Morning, Afternoon), a day of the week (like Nicole Kidman's Sunday), a month (we all know about June and August), a holiday such as Easter or Christmas, or a season, with Summer and Autumn being much more popular in the past than Winter.
Day names of all kinds are undergoing a revival as parents search for unique names that carry personal meaning. Since many of the parents flocking to nameberry right now are expecting over the winter months, this seems an appropriate topic for a nameberry poll. Of the newest, freshest choices for girls, what's your very favorite?
January Jones, the attractive star of the hot TV show Mad Men has focused a lot of attention on her (real) name, but what's the prognosis for the other calendar baby names?
JANUARY, named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and ends, has a real history as a name, dating back to the Chaucer's Canterbury Tales character in The Merchant's Tale, a wealthy, elderly knight. Flash forward to the 1970s for a complete image transformation via the Jacqueline Susann soap-operaish novel Once is Not Enough's heroine, "the luscious January Wayne." (The South Dakota-bred January Jones told Town & Country magazine that she was named for the Susann character.) Put it all together, and you have the sexiest month name, and one that has the best chance of catching on.
FEBRUARY. The shortest month of the year has the least potential as a baby name, mostly because of its awkward pronunciation. You could consider its birthstone, Amethyst, instead.
MARCH, named after Mars, the Roman god of war, is the most masculine of the group, and is beginning to be used for boys, particularly as a strong, brisk middle name. It's also a surname name, exemplified by the beloved March family in Little Women.
APRIL, from the Latin word meaning to open, as in the opening buds of spring, has been in name-style limbo for a a couple of decades, but might be due for an early comeback. Its prominent role in Revolutionary Road, portrayed by Kate Winslet, could breathe new life into it. It also has appealing musical references via songs like I'll Remember April and April in Paris. Singer Avril Lavigne has drawn attention to the French version.
MAY, which started as a pet form of both Mary and Margaret, was wildly popular at the turn of the 20th century, in both real life and fiction–writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton used it for their pure and innocent heroines. The Mae spelling, as in Mae West, was much saucier. Some modern parents have begun to use May as a sweet, old-fashioned middle name, but others–including actress Madeline Stowe,–have recognized its potential as a first.
JUNE was the midcentury goody-goody girl, exemplified by June Allyson in movies and quintessential TV Mom June (Leave it to Beaver) Cleaver. Some parents might prefer the livelier Juno, but June–recently picked by actor/oil heir Balthazar Getty for his daughter–has the no-nonsense solidity many parents are seeking in these difficult times. A hipster favorite middle name.
JULY, named for Juilius Caesar, has been used infrequently, and then usually as a male name–there was a character named July Anderson in Lonesome Dove. But it could conceivably be an offbeat namesake for an Aunt Julie or an Uncle Julius.
AUGUST, like the word with the accent on the second syllable, has a somewhat serious image, associated with two heavyweight playwrights–Strindberg and Wilson. It has some celebrity cred, having been chosen by Mariska Hargitay, Lena Olin and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Garth Brooks turned August into a female option when he used it for his daughter.
SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER all have limited potential, the Latin Septimus and Octavius having more history as names. On the other hand, hip writer Dave Eggers did name his daughter October….
TRIVIA TIDBIT: The novel and movie The Secret Life of Bees had characters named April, May, June and August.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Thursday
Recommended reading from the Wall Street Journal and around the Web:
Adam Entous and Siobhan Gorman look back at how a year that began with the Obama administration confident, publicly and privately, that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad spiraled down into a period that appears to leave the Syrian strongman firmly in place even as his country disintegrates into pieces controlled by various contenders for power. [WSJ]
Ta-Nehisi Coates muses on developments around the world and concludes, darkly, that there is no discernible arc of history to track, only "chaos." [The Atlantic]
Neil King Jr. and Patrick O'Connor look at the political landscape ahead of the 2014 midterm elections and ask if President Barack Obama faces the same tough treatment in November's midterm elections that former presidents George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan faced in the middle of their second terms. Historical trends suggest Republicans will have one very clear advantage in the fall: a favorable electorate. [WSJ]

By Dominic (Interchill Records, Tokyo, Japan)
I bought the album in Tokyo as soon as it came out, and I must say that I have been blown away by the music. The blend between different instruments is truly innovative and very pleasurable to listen to. Well done.
By Mahiane (Ultimae Records, Lyon, France)
Now that is the perfect title for this album for if I was to summarize it in two words I would say organic electronica. It's filled with live played instruments, guitar, flute, percussions and amazing electronic composition. A definite mix of genres, I heard ambient, dub, rock, trance influences and I'm sure you'll add to this list. A very interesting and open album. Dig it!
By Psyfex (myspace)
What can i say, Organika is one of the finest sonic journeys ever devised. This is simply incredible music, up there with the best the human race has to offer. Sublime, and completely perfect in every way!
By Verb (psy-forum.co.uk)
So, I picked this up the other day at Startessa, and it's fucking magic! Really excellent stuff, in fact some of the most inspiring music I've heard recently. Absolutely amazing stuff, highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Special Education Needs
Treetops is a day school for children and young people between the ages of three and 16 who experience moderate learning difficulties. The school, located in Grays, Essex, UK is a Thurrock Local Education Authority (LEA) school and in under local management. The school operates a special VB (verbal behaviour) nursery for children on the autistic spectrum and is the first state school in the UK to be adopting these teaching principles. From September 2004, Treetops operates on two sites. Its main campus at Dell Road, Grays and the second campus at South Ockendon. 'School should be a place where there is work but also laughter, a place where there is law but also grace, a place where there is justice but where there is also love...' Sir Alec Clegg 1974 We aspire to this statement. We acknowledge and value the unique contribution of each and every individual within our school community. It is almost impossible to express an ethos in words – it is more of an 'ambience' – or a way of being that needs to be experienced. Our school works on achievement, on what can be done. We work on the positive. We do not view our work as such but as a vocation or as an opportunity to make a difference. Each pupil is placed in an age or need appropriate group. Each group will have a teacher responsible for pastoral care. In addition the Headteacher and Deputy Head-teacher also take great pride in ensuring pastoral care is of the highest order. We will always endeavour to answer any worries you have on the same day that you make contact. One of the great qualities of our school is that we are small. We are therefore able to know each pupil really well and conversely they know us really well. Behaviour and discipline in school (or anywhere else) is all about relationships. Our aim is for pupils to accept our values and become part of a whole community, which instils a sense of pride in each other. There are many and varied extra-curricular activities. For younger pupils there are frequent visits and trips to make their learning as real as possible. We also run residential experience and variety club and other sponsored events. These are tremendous opportunities which all form a very valuable part of our whole school approach. We do have a school uniform which we feel helps to instil a sense of pride and community.

Their high school careers are winding down, and you'd think that would mean less basketball for members of Kentucky's 2014 recruiting class.
But all four were named to the McDonald's All-American game in late January, and Monday it was deja vu as they all were selected to play in the Jordan Brand Classic all-star game in Brooklyn on April 18.
"Well it's a huge honor and I can't wait to play," five-star center Karl Towns texted Cats Illustrated.
Towns joins Trey Lyles as members of the East team, while guards Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis will represent the West.
It now marks 23 Jordan All-Americans for UK since John Calipari took over in 2009, more than any other college in that span.
UK and Duke will both have four players participating.
"This should be fun," Lyles texted.
All four commits are averaging more than 20 points per game. Booker set an all-time scoring record at his Moss Point (Miss.) high school, and just this week Lyles was named Indianapolis Player of the Year for the third consecutive year.
The 2014 game will mark the 13th anniversary of the Jordan Brand Classic. Last season UK freshman Julius Randle was named co-Most Valuable Player with Duke's Jabari Parker.
Last season UK had six players play in the Jordan Brand Classic.
While the number might be slightly down in 2014, the quality matches where the quantity missed.
"This just shows that Kentucky is getting another great recruiting class," Towns said. "It also shows the talent we possess."
The Jordan Brand Classic will tip the same night as Louisville's Derby Festival Classic all-star game, meaning no UK commit will play in the event.
On April 18 it will be a matchup of UK's future bigs vs. the Cats' future guards.
"(Towns) and me are going to have to play together and have fun doing it," Lyles said.

DVD REVIEWS: The Astaire and Rogers Collection, Vol. 1
Movie •••• Picture/Sound •••• Extras •••½
The first four movies look spectacular. Each picture has been restored so that its rich monochrome tones keep their silk-and-satin sheen. Barkleys is sharp, but the flesh tones are pale - and the sets and costumes have none of the eye-popping hues of The Bandwagon and other recent Technicolor DVD releases restored through Warner's Ultra-Resolution process. For all five films here, the sound has been digitally cleansed of crackle and sibilance, and it offers generous bass. Extras include three scholarly commentaries, four making-of featurettes, five vintage short films, and five classic cartoons. [NR] English, Dolby Digital mono; full frame (1.33:1); five dual-layer discs. Barkleys of Broadway: French, Dolby Digital mono.

Bendtner fined for drink driving
On-loan Juventus forward Nicklas Bendtner has been fined €112,938 (£96,893) and had his driving licence suspended for three years after admitting to drink driving.
Bendtner, who is on a season-long loan at Juventus from Arsenal, was caught driving on the wrong side of the road in Copenhagen by police, and has admitted to having been three times over the legal alcohol limit in his native Denmark.
The Danish football federation has suspended Bendtner from national team duty for six months because of the incident.
Bendtner wrote on his Twitter account on Monday: "Dear friends, I was booked for a mild case of drink driving last night. It was a quiet night but I am very very sorry to all my friends and fans. It is not OK to drink and drive. I take full responsibility."
Bendtner, who is on loan from Arsenal, has failed to score for the Bianconeri in nine appearances. He is set for a return to the Emirates at the end of the season.

NxtGenUG and Dinis Cruz from IOActive have teamed up to run two 2 day "Advanced ASP.NET Exploits and Countermeasures" training courses. One will be held in London and one in Birmingham. The courses will be in-depth training on learning how sophisticated hackers can attack ASP.NET applications and how developers can defend against such attacks.
The exact details are being finalised at the moment.

Lemoyne Borough Council has voted to fire two employees who are under investigation for allegedly withholding funds from the sales of scrap metal.
Council voted 6-0 Thursday night to terminate the employment of maintenance supervisor John Paden and Sewer Department supervisor John O'Neill.
While the council cited "misconduct," borough manager Robert Ihlein said the firings were related to the scrap metal investigation.
Paden and O'Neill were previously on administrative leave while police investigated whether they unlawfully kept money received from scrap metal sales and withheld the proceeds from borough funds.
According to search warrant affidavits filed May 30, Paden admitted to keeping the money and to splitting the proceeds with O'Neill.
In another affidavit filed June 10, police said Paden also named former police chief and borough manager Howard Dougherty as one of the people who kept a share of the money.
Borough employees told investigators they had been turning over cash from scrap sales to Paden since the early 1990's.
Authorities have said the amount of money withheld from the borough was "definitely thousands" of dollars.
Borough officials currently are awaiting a decision on possible criminal charges from the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office.
