Although it was first played in 1894, it isn't officially the 119th annual event – there were several years during which the game wasn't played at all and two years in which the game was played twice. Games have ended in joyful parades and have ended in violent riots. It is a longstanding rivalry, with victory changing hands time and time again through the decades.
At McMenamins East 19th Street Café in Eugene, Ore., there is a message for all who pass through its doors, be ye a Duck or be ye a Beaver…. Maybe you've noticed it or maybe you've passed right on by, en route to get your passport stamped or have a beer. It's worth a moment to stop and have a look.

When arguing between elders and their grown children goes nowhere, the right impartial voice may help.
(Part one of a two-part series)
As baby boomers approach their own retirement age, very few thought they would become caregivers to parents well into their 80s and 90s. Their parents probably never wanted this for them to either; they'd much rather remain independent. Disputes can arise from these situations.
One child may take care of parents and the other siblings may disagree with the way in which that care is provided. Or the parent may be very sensitive to any action that restricts their independence, like when an adult child wants to take away Dad's car keys because he scraped the fender on the neighbor's car…again.
Emotions can flare and the problem can be transformed into more intractable issues of pride and dignity. Old sibling rivalries may be rekindled and long-buried resentments may resurface. Before they start doing things they may later regret, such as going to court, family members can try a relatively new option: getting assistance from an elder mediator.
Mediation is an effective method that can help families reduce conflicts and incendiary interactions. It often prevents problems from escalating out of control, which they very well can.
Consider that father who was adamant about keeping the keys to his car. When his children told him they were taking the keys, he told them the first one who did it would be removed from his will. Everyone including the father knew his driving was no longer safe, but there was absolutely no way he was going to allow his children to dictate to him. The elder thought it a blow to his dignity if he surrendered the car keys to a child, even a grown one.
The family called in an elder mediator to facilitate the mediation process. The outcome of the session was a win-win situation for everyone. The father agreed to give up the car keys (which was what the children wanted); however, he did not hand the keys to his children (which was his stand) but to a third party—the mediator.
There are many issues that can cause members of a family to take opposing positions, but there are common flash points that usually spark family disputes.
"Concerns about car keys and related issues of driving and transportation, contested guardianships and disagreements about how to care for parents are the most common conflict points in my experience," says Janet Mitchell, an attorney-mediator and director of Eldercare Mediators in Indiana.
Many issues lend themselves to mediation, according to Mitchell who has mediated over 800 cases since 1986. However, it is the family that makes the final decision on what topics they will bring to mediation.
Aside from the three areas of possible conflict mentioned above, mediation may be necessary on issues such as:
The basic concept in mediation is that people can work things out among themselves and resolve their differences more quickly with the help of a mediator—someone who is neutral and can facilitate communication among all parties involved.
Mediators provide expertise in processes that can help the family reach agreements on the issues to be resolved. They steer the group through the process, but make sure the decisions are made by the group alone.
The mediation approach emphasizes confidentiality (especially on the mediator's part), voluntary participation, impartiality, realism, problem-solving instead of putting blame on others and shared communication among participants.
"A mediator who uses a directive method of mediating will have problems," says Mitchell. "Transformative and facilitative methods work better in elder mediation."
Mitchell also stresses the need for a mediator to have thorough knowledge about aging and family dynamics in order to be effective.
Finding mediators with the right qualifications and experience for elder care disputes may require effort.
There is no national credentialing system for elder mediators. State governments handle the requirements for mediator education, training and credentialing, but not all states license or certify mediators.
Mediation training usually covers 40 hours of basic training and 20 hours of advanced training. There are mediation organizations that require 20 hours of continuing training every two years of its members.
But the most important thing to look for is experience in settling disputes: the more disputes handled, the better. Some organizations require their mediators to have a minimum of 250 hours of face-to-face family mediation and to have handled at least 25 different cases.
When you are interviewing an mediator, ask about the following information:
A list of other questions to ask can be found at the www.eldercaremediators.com/join/join.htm site.
The following sites can help you locate mediation centers and/or mediation professionals in your state.

Build Title:
Brawlguard – by Invaderone
Batarian Brawler Vanguard
Power Evolutions:
Biotic Charge: Radius (4), Weapon Synergy (5), Barrier (6)
Lash: N/A
Blade Armor: Melee Damage (4), Damage Returned (5), Durability (6)
Batarian Enforcer: Damage & Capacity (4), Power Damage (5), Damage & Ammo (6)
Fitness: Melee Damage (4), Martial Artist (5), Melee Synergy (6)
Wraith, Reegar, Harrier, Talon, Carnifex, Paladin, Piranha, Geth Plasma Shotgun, Graal.
In general all shotguns can work on this guy, if you want something a lit bit more long range you can try the harrier, or the talon, carnifex or paladin. Try to keep your cooldowns high, since you'll be charging a lot.
Juggernaut Shields for a boost in shields and more boost of melee damage. Also, in the weapon you are using always use melee upgrader such as the melee stunter or the omni-blade. You can use any ammo you want, but i would recommend incendiary ammo, and when they are burning, try charge and they'll explode. Also, go for efficiency module, you want that recharge to go as fast as possible.
This character has a very easy strategy. Charge and melee, charge and melee. That's it. With the insane ammount of melee damage this guy produces you will kill (almost) everything in one shot. Only banshees, brutes, scions or pretorians will resist your falcon punch, the rest, as soon as you are charging the punch they are as good as death.
Your precautions should be on insta-kills. Watch out on charging those banshees or phantoms. Also use caution when you are charging a group, on higher difficulties they can surround you and kill you, your weapon of choice should get you out of that situation. Stay mobile and you will do fine.
N00b Rating: (scale 1-5, 1 is easy for everybody!)
2. This is easy and deadly.

Testing the effectiveness of monolayers under wind and wave conditions

Title | Testing the effectiveness of monolayers under wind and wave conditions |
Author | Palada, Carlos Ernesto; Schouten, Peter William; Lemckert, Charles James |
Journal Name | Water Science and Technology |
Year Published | 2012 |
Place of publication | United Kingdom |
Publisher | IWA Publishing |
Abstract | Monolayers are highly desirable for their evaporation reducing capabilities due to their relatively minimal cost and ease of application. Despite these positive attributes, monolayers have consistently failed to perform effectively due to the harsh wind and wave conditions prevalent across real-world water reserves. An exhaustive and consistent study testing the influence of wind and wave combinations on monolayer performance has yet to be presented in the literature. To remedy this, the effect of simultaneous wind and wave conditions on a benchmark high-performance monolayer (octadecanol suspension, CH3(CH2)16CH2OH) has been analysed. Subjected only to waves, the monolayer remained intact due to its innate ability to compress and expand. However, the constant simultaneous application of wind and waves caused the monolayer to break up and gather downwind where it volatilised over time. At wind speeds above 1.3 m s1 the monolayer was completely ineffective. For wind speeds below this threshold, the monolayer had an influence on the evaporation rate dependent on wind speed. From these results a series of application protocols can now be developed for the optimised deployment of monolayers in real-world water reserves. This will be of interest to private, commercial and government organisations involved in the storage and management of water resources. |

Bayern Munich out to restore broken pride with two finals in a week
"When you're eight points ahead at the top of the league and fail to win the title, it's obviously disappointing. It shouldn't happen to FC Bayern München."
Bastian Schweinsteiger's words, it is all too easy to note, would ring equally true if he were a Manchester United player. Perhaps Sir Alex Ferguson can find some solace in the knowledge that his is not the only dominant domestic power to have shot itself in the foot this season.
Unlike United, though, Schweinsteiger and Bayern have a chance at redemption. Two, in fact. A second consecutive title for Borussia Dortmund may have temporarily turned the Weißbier sour in Munich, but with two major Cup Finals in the space of a week, Jupp Heynckes' side are ready to start celebrating again.
Tomorrow evening will present them with their first opportunity to do so, with the DFB Pokal Final against none other than their recent bogey team Borussia Dortmund. Far from being a warm up game for the Chelsea game, this Final in Berlin is as significant a game as Bayern have played this year. A chance to reassert themselves domestically against a Dortmund side who have made a habit of embarrassing them in recent years.
"We've lost to them four times in a row, so we've definitely got a bit of fire in our bellies," said Thomas Müller this week, "we want them to know that it's not going to last for the next five years."
His captain, Phillipp Lahm, echoed the sentiment with a similar appeal to Bayern's unassailable sense of superiority: "We want to show them what the current situation is in German football, and walk away with another title to our name."
Dortmund have not only beaten Bayern four times in succession, they have also gone 28 games unbeaten – including 25 victories – and denied Bayern the title for two consecutive years for the first time since the mid 90s. The verbal jabs of Müller and Lahm, though, are undoubtedly meant as a stark reminder as to which of these two clubs is "Rekordmeister", and why. On Saturday, BVB will be looking to win the first domestic double in their club's history. Bayern have won five in the last ten years.
It is this phenomenal record, and the expectations attached to it, which have sparked the fire in the bellies of Müller and his team mates. Dortmund have demonstrated somewhat emphatically in the last two years that the age of Bavarian complacency, if it ever existed, is coming to an end. The famed Bavarian determination, however, is showing no signs of dying. "
There is, of course, no doubt as to which of these two finals Bayern fans would rather lose if they were forced to choose between the two. Even domestic pride assumes secondary importance compared to the opportunity to become European Champions on home turf. But as Schweinsteiger points out: "It's always a good feeling to go into the next game on the back of a win."
There is some concern in Germany that Bayern do not become guilty of underestimating Chelsea ahead of this month's Champions League Final. Those in West London should be equally wary of making the same mistake. After nearly two years without getting their hands on a trophy, Bayern's notoriously swollen pride has been gravely wounded. Now they are out to restore it.

Endowed by nature with incredible size, speed, intelligence, and power, bears in the 21st century now compete for survival with the only other animals that can threaten their existence: Humans.Bear Attacks, first published by Lyons & Burford, in 1985 and now thoroughly revised and updated, is the classic, authoritative, and unflinching study of attacks on humans by the mighty grizzly and the normally less aggressive, but sometimes deadly, black bear. This book is for everyone who camps, hikes, or visits bear country -and for anyone who wants to learn more about these fearsome but always fascinating wild creatures. (6 x 9, 304 pages, b&w photos, illustrations, charts)Stephen Herrero is a professor at the University of Calgary. He is recognized throughout the world as a leading authority on bears. |

- Closing the seed dispersal loop
Closing the seed dispersal loop
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, 1 August 2002, Pages 379-386
Benjamin C. Wang and Thomas B. Smith
AbstractSeed dispersal links the end of the reproductive cycle of adult plants with the establishment of their offspring, and is widely accepted to have a profound effect on vegetation structure. Confirming and quantifying this effect, however, has proven to be a challenge. Recent research on animal-mediated seed dispersal has brought us closer to this goal: ecologists have been explicitly examining the processes that mediate seed deposition and seedling recruitment. Exciting new techniques, such as the analysis of stable isotope ratios and molecular genetic markers, are making it possible to relate dispersed seeds and seedlings back to parent plants. Meanwhile, evidence from plant demography research is revealing that seed dispersal might have an important role in determining patterns of tree diversity and distribution. The continued synergy between seed dispersal research and the study of plant demography should help researchers link seed dispersal and adult vegetation structure, closing the seed dispersal loop.

Biological invasions as disruptors of plant reproductive mutualisms
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 21, Issue 4, 1 April 2006, Pages 208-216
Anna Traveset and David M. Richardson
AbstractInvasive alien species affect the composition and functioning of invaded ecosystems in many ways, altering ecological interactions that have arisen over evolutionary timescales. Specifically, disruptions to pollination and seed-dispersal mutualistic interactions are often documented, although the profound implications of such impacts are not widely recognized. Such disruptions can occur via the introduction of alien pollinators, seed dispersers, herbivores, predators or plants, and we define here the many potential outcomes of each situation. The frequency and circumstances under which each category of mechanisms operates are also poorly known. Most evidence is from population-level studies, and the implications for global biodiversity are difficult to predict. Further insights are needed on the degree of resilience in interaction networks, but the preliminary picture suggests that invasive species frequently cause profound disruptions to plant reproductive mutualisms.

Mechanisms of long-distance seed dispersal
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 23, Issue 11, 1 November 2008, Pages 638-647
Ran Nathan, Frank M. Schurr, Orr Spiegel, Ofer Steinitz, Ana Trakhtenbrot and Asaf Tsoar
AbstractGrowing recognition of the importance of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant seeds for various ecological and evolutionary processes has led to an upsurge of research into the mechanisms underlying LDD. We summarize these findings by formulating six generalizations stating that LDD is generally more common in open terrestrial landscapes, and is typically driven by large and migratory animals, extreme meteorological phenomena, ocean currents and human transportation, each transporting a variety of seed morphologies. LDD is often associated with unusual behavior of the standard vector inferred from plant dispersal morphology, or mediated by nonstandard vectors. To advance our understanding of LDD, we advocate a vector-based research approach that identifies the significant LDD vectors and quantifies how environmental conditions modify their actions.

Diplochory: are two seed dispersers better than one?
Stephen B. Vander Wall1, and William S. Longland2
1 Department of Biology-314, and The Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557, USA
2 USDA Agricultural Research Service, 920 Valley Road, and The Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, University of Nevada, Reno, NV 89557, USA
Diplochory is seed dispersal by a sequence of two or more steps or phases, each involving a different dispersal agent. Here, we describe five forms of diplochory and derive general characteristics of each phase of seed dispersal. The first and second phases of diplochory offer different benefits to plants. Phase one dispersal often results in escape from density-dependent seed and seedling mortality near the parent plant and can result in the colonization of habitat patches far from the parent. Phase two dispersal often moves seeds to discrete and predictable microsites, where the probability of seedling establishment is disproportionately high (i.e. directed dispersal). Diplochory appears to have evolved because combining two means of seed dispersal can increase the benefits of seed dispersal whilst reducing the likelihood of seed mortality.

WAIT for the movie to load before you press play/pause.
I don't know enough actionscript yet to make a proper loader.
I got an assignment for animation-class to make a short video of 30 seconds or so after a few weeks.
So this is what I came up with. A short music video to just the chorus of Snoop Dogg's "Vato"
I don't really expect this to get through the portal, I really just hope to get some constructive criticism to help me out in the future! Thanks for your comments!
Rated 3 / 5 stars March 21, 2007
not bad
wasnt bad, audio crackled a little bit but other than that it was nicely done. and theres several tutorials that teach you how to make a pre loader.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars March 21, 2007
it was okay.
Better work on that actionscript though... we got plenty of tutorials tohelp you with that.
Yeah, I'll get to that.
Didn't want to focus all my time on learning the syntax when I had a movie to make.
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 21, 2007
it was just funny cuz they all looked white lol.......
i 5'd just cuz it had b-real in it
ima big cypress hill fan
but the animation was very crappy.... stickmen just don't do it for me
try making some better looking characters....and use thinner lines on the backgrounds... and it was way too short(but like you said you only needed a 30 second clip for class so you're forgiven)... i'm guessing your just starting in animation thou.... so just keep at it... you'll get better with time and practice
oh and BTW you can downloader a preloader on here from newgrounds.... there is a little link below the submission link ..... or you could just google up a preloader tutorial or something
Yeah I don't really like doing stickmen either.
Thanks for the preloader tip and review! :D

a nice attemp
this flash is a fairly good movie, i'd recommend it
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars March 21, 2007
Decent first try.
Pretty good, original if not anything else. The highlight of this flash would have to be the way you dubed the song over the flash, and not counting humor, the "low" point would have to be the graphics, but hey, you said it your self; you didn't expect it to get through (I've seen worse). Personaly I would have made snoop BLACK but you know...

Titles similar to The Distant Hours
Lee's slightly clipped British accent complements Morton's gothic novel, in which Edie Burchill discovers a dilapidated castle and investigates uncovered secrets. A long-lost letter triggers tears from Edie's mother, who was billeted in the British castle during WWII. She dismisses questions from Edie, who is irresistibly drawn to Millderhurst and its occupants, the mysterious Blythe sisters. Lee convincingly reads the story with increasing urgency as Edie explores her mother's past. Lee is at her best when reading scenes about the castle's run-down condition and gardens gone to weed. Her cool undertones suggest the menace of time and untold tales. Lee's portrayal of the eccentric Blythe sisters occasionally muddies distinctions between speakers, though not enough to disturb listeners' immersion in this engaging historical fiction. Also available in Playaway ($84.99).

EUGENE, Oregon (Ticker) -- Luke Jackson, Robert Johnson and Luke Ridnour got No. 6 Oregon going, and the Ducks rolled to a 96-66 victory over Portland.
Jackson and Johnson scored six points apiece and Ridnour added four as Oregon (4-0) started the game with a 16-3 run. The Ducks never looked back as they got revenge for the 79-78 defeat they suffered last season at Portland's Chiles Center.
"Them beating us last year left a sour taste," Jackson said. "We played bad last year. This year it was nice to get on our game and set the record straight."
Jackson finished with 21 points to lead five Ducks in double figures and also added 12 rebounds. Ridnour scored 17, while Johnson had 10 on 3-of-3 shooting and is shooting 75 percent from the floor this season.
Ian Crosswhite scored 16 points in his first start of the season. The redshirt freshman center also grabbed seven rebounds.
"He did a great job starting out there," Oregon coach Ernie Kent said. "It was a good lesson for him."
The Ducks led 50-30 at halftime and extended their margin to as many as 35 points in the second half.
Oregon is 4-0 for the third consecutive season and has won 20 consecutive home games.
Portland (3-1) has lost its last 12 straight games against Oregon at McArthur Court. Donald Wilson and Karl Aaker led the Pilots with 13 points apiece.
"Tonight we were outplayed by the No. 6 team in the nation," Portland coach Michael Holton said. "We obviously grew up in public today. We'll grow as a basketball team after games like these."
Oregon avoided a letdown with No. 13 Kansas next on its schedule, Saturday in Portland. The Jayhawks kept the Ducks from the Final Four last year with a 104-86 win in the Midwest Region final.
"Now we can get caught up with the community in the hype for the Kansas game," Kent said.

Sony has finally announced their 500mm telephoto lens — though we don't know when it's hitting America
We first spied Sony's 500mm lens back at Photokina in 2010, but it's taken a few years for this piece of glass to get official. Now Sony Europe has announced the high-end fixed focal length lens, but we have no idea when it's heading to the USA. The Sony SAL500F40G is a 500mm (750mm equivalent on APS-C) lens designed for Sony's A-mount DSLR and SLT cameras. It has a maximum aperture of f/4 and a minimum of f/32, and weighs a whopping 7.5lbs.
This lens is the longest fixed focal length G lens Sony has made, and will doubtless be a pricey purchase, when it's released in Europe come March. It's dust- and moisture-resistant, has Nano AR Coating on all optical surfaces, and is compatible with Sony's in-camera SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system (which Sony claims gives you up to 4.5 stops of improvement).
Sony has also overhauled the focus system, promising 4x faster object tracking than conventional Sony lenses thanks to a new drive engine, which is crucial when trying to track a moving object down the barrel of a 500mm lens. The lens is built-to-order, so if you do want one, you'll have to get in touch with Sony.
