Summer has been a long time coming where I live. We braved a wicked winter and battled several feet of snow this year. And now? Summer's here with a vengeance. During the past two weeks, it has been H-O-T. So hot that my daughter has spent a good deal of time like this:
And I love it. This is the part of cloth diapering I have been most looking forward to since our journey began: wearing her cloth diapers proudly, exploring the world. With nothing else on.
I always hesitated to let my son chill in only his sposie even on the hottest days. It's funny, but to me, a baby in only a disposable diaper somehow says "my parents don't care" or "Mommy forgot a clean outfit." Yet a baby in only a cloth diaper seems as polished and put together as can be.
Speaking of diapers finally exposed, my favorite colors for the summer are decidedly the brights: Mac N' Cheese, Watermelon, Big Sky, Apple Green, Crushed Berries. They are so fresh and provide such a great contrast to my girl's soft skin. And when she is clothed, I love to see the corner of a little red dipe poking out around the legs!
But in weather this hot, sometimes there are things not even a cute bright diaper can fix.
So here's to welcoming summer with open arms and at least 90 more days of diaper-only weather!
Sarah is a mom of two and blogs about her adventures in motherhood, cloth diapering and everything in between. Catch her "Cloth Diapering Unwrapped" series on the FuzziBunz blog every Tuesday.

Thread: How do we feel about...

How do we feel about...
Zane Alexander Caspian?
I posted about Zane a wee bit earlier, and after letting things ruminate, Alexander and Caspian seemed to float to the top of the list. I adore the associations with both--Alexander the Great; Alexander, the son of Simon of Cyrene (the man who bore Jesus' cross when He could no longer physically bear it); Prince Caspian (I've dreamed of a Narnian baby!); the Caspian Sea... So it makes sense to combine them both into Zane Alexander Caspian/Zane Caspian Alexander (I prefer the former), but I'm still not sure about it. I feel like I LOVE Zane Alexander and Zane Caspian as they are, but somehow, when they're put together, Zane Alexander Caspian loses the charm that both combos had individually. WDYT? Is Zane Alexander Caspian a winner? The more I think about it, the more I love it, but I'm still not sure. (For what it's worth, my back-ups were Zane Fielding, Zane Dominic, Zane Conrad, Zane Philip, Zane Frederick, and Zane Leopold...)
Thanks, ladies!Lise

I think I agree with this. Zane Alexander is really strong, and Zane Caspian is really strong, but Zane Alexander Caspian seems to trail off, for me. I think it's because Caspian feels tacked on at the end. I don't know how to explain it, but this doesn't happen for me when I reverse the middles. I feel like Zane Caspian Alexander is just as strong as the individual combos.
Maybe it's because Alexander is the "predictable" middle name, since it's more common? So you feel like you're "finished" with the name when you say Zane Alexander, but when you say Zane Caspian it's more like "Oh, that's interesting! What's next?"
That probably doesn't make any sense, but it's the feeling I get.
For what it's worth, I like Zane Alexander Caspian more than any of your alternates. (I also really like the repeated "an" letter combination in all three names! Especially since the letter combo gets a unique sound in each name.)Arrietty Hazel, Blythe Frances, Elenore Alice, Greta Eliza, Iris Tabitha, Matilda Clara, Olive Madeline, Ruby Anne, Sally Clementine, Susan EloiseCalvin Oliver, Charles Eldridge, Finn Wyatt, George Arthur, Henry Nigel, Liam Ezra, Milo Everett, Samuel Hiram, Tobias David, Roland Oskar

Yes, that's exactly how I felt when I first thought of it! I feel like with Zane Caspian Alexander, it just feels backwards and all jumbled up, haha. Zane Alexander Caspian just feels more like my style. And it has really grown on me in the past couple days, so I may just go for it. There were just so many other options I loved with Zane that I'm dragging my feet a little bit (that, and I'm not sure how pleased I am with the Alexander Caspian part. I'm just so picky about Alexander!). That, and Caspian Alexander looks like "Captain Alexander" to me. (And for some reason, that makes me think of that outrageous character from the Dos Equis commercials. ugh.)

I like it. Alexander and Caspian give Zane a regal feel, but I agree that it does seem to go on longer than it has to. Like dovah said, I think it's because Alexander is such a common middle name. Replacing Alexander with another -ander name - Zane Evander Caspian, Zane Leander Caspian - makes the combo feel more well-rounded (?), so I think it is Alexander's problem.

Shaken by the loss on September 11 of two good customers and colleagues — the Marriott World Trade Center's Abdu Malahi and Joe Keller — and confronted by what to do with a meeting planning department with time on its hands, Lee Travel Group president and b-there chairwoman Peggy Lee decided to set up a gift trust to provide financial support to the families of the 61 identified meeting, travel, and hospitality industry victims of the September attacks.
She and her staff put together the victim profiles and the financial and legal aspects of the foundation and launched Our Own (www.our-own.org) in March. The foundation holds online raffles, with the proceeds going to the hospitality and travel industry victims' families on a pro-rated basis.
Lee decided to process the fund on the Internet to bypass the rules, regulations, and taxes that offline charities typically are subject to. It uses components of b-there's online attendee management engine to manage the raffle ticket sales and track each item. Drawings are held as soon as the tickets sold equal twice the value of a particular item or 90 days have passed, whichever comes first. The only catch: Because it's a gift trust, contributions are not tax-deductible.
Donated items are eclectic, ranging from a conference registration package for Penton Media's Nextware Expo to a duck-hunting trip to Arkansas to a plastic surgery procedure. "Everyone has something they can donate," urges Lee, who hope to find an online auction firm willing to donate auction software so she can add that functionality to the site.
It might be easy to get carried away with all the interesting prizes, but the foundation's Web site doesn't forget why it came to be: The "In Memory …" page puts faces to some of the travel and hospitality industry victims. At the bottom of the list, an animated poem by an 8-year-old named Abby sums up what the spirit of giving is really all about.

"I purchased these gift tags for my son's Baptism to put on the favors. I was so pleased when I received them. It's a nice way to personalize the favors to thank your guests. I had purchased the invitations first that match. The invite and gift tags have a very conservative and elegant look. The quality of the paper and printing is outstanding. You get what you pay for. I have received so many compliments on the invitations already."
"These gift tages / labels were a perfect idea for all of our back to school labeling. My son put them on his folders, in his books, on his binder. Good quality and really cute design!"
"These invites are beautiful! I also ordered the envelopes that are regular postage and they fit fine. I also paid for rush delivery and they came even earlier. The stickers were great for the little gifts we had."
"Matching tags I got with my sons invitations. Was surprised as I was expecting something bigger but a in actual fact nice and small. These a stickers and il be using them on the kids party/loot bags."
"This sticker completly matches the invitation design we selected. We are attaching the stickers to the favors we are giving the attendees of our celebration. Thie stickers are a perfect compliment to the design of our invitations and carry on the theme of the event."

This park is in a nice area with a good view. Service is great and the facilities are pretty good. The playground for kids was a little disappointing. So were the washing machines that were expensive and did not do the job of cleaning. Also the prices at the shop were substantially higher. The pool area was very good and crowded. There are BBQ´s on the site, so we enjoyed it very much.

We stopped because we were tired already and this area was beautiful. The campground was not the greatest but we had a nice experience overall. The managers even lent us a BBQ and were very nice. We did not use the showers or bathrooms, but I did check them out and they looked clean. The laundry has good prices compared to other campgrounds we stayed. There are no facilities for kids but we only spent the night and left very early so it work out for us.

This was our first RV trip and our very first campground we stayed and was really impressed by the cleaning of the camp, organization and the service provided by the staff members.

Customer Reviews
This app is truly amazing!
NI has really set the bar for all DJ apps by infusing Traktor into an iPad.
I have been using this for several parties and at home since the day It was released.
This app does everything you could ask for. Automatically syncs and analyzes music, tempo and pitch change accordingly, loading music is a breeze, and the effects work flawless.
Upon loading a song, it is already analyzed for you (tempo and everything) with the option to make minor and major adjustments. When mixing in the next song, instead of worrying to press play right on beat, it will automatically sync it in time and play that measure with the beat. EQ sliders are accurate with absolutely no distortion (considering it's all played through a 1.5mm headphone jack).
When choosing the next song, it will give you recommended music accordingly with what is currently playing and what tempo it is at. When going through waveforms (which give a clear and easy to identify waveform) you can navigate the waveform to find what you want to play without disturbing the music, and jump anywhere in sync. The Flux feature allows you to tap any beat or measure while the song continues undisturbed.
This app truly does everything. It's practically a touch screen controller!
I really wanted to like it, but...
I really, really, wanted to like Traktor DJ, but unfortunately it falls short in some key areas.
1. No pitch control. It's nice to change tempo and keep the pitch, but it should have an option to change the tempo and change the pitch too.
2. Recordings are half the volume of the original! Try this: record a track and then load up the recorded next to the original. It is much lower volume. Which brings up my next point,
3. No auto gain!! Come on! In this day and age DJ software should match levels between tracks automatically.
4. There is Dropbox integration, why can't I save my recordings to Dropbox?
5. Most other apps allow opening in another app. Why can't I open my recordings in another app?
6. It would be nice to have an auto EQ option. For example as you cross fade between tracks it lowers the bass and treble on one track while it raises on the other.
Although I like some of the other features in Traktor, it's not the DJ app that I reach for because of the above shortcomings.
If these things are addressed I would give the app 5 stars.
I can't believe some of the reviews
Man you people are too used to what gimmicky apps do than actual dj equipment does.
Does it have as many features as some, no, but as far as making a dj mix, actually mixing music it is superior. They are keeping it tight so it has less glitches and when a feature becomes more stable I'm sure they'll add it. You can use this with Native Instrument equipment making it more than just jamming in your headphones.
I'd pass on other dj apps until you decide this one isn't for you.

Move Those Buns!: Getting People To Use The Stairs Instead Of The Escalator
This is a video made at a subway station in Stockholm that asks the question, "can we get more people to choose the stairs by making it fun to do?" And the answer, amazingly, is yes -- by converting the stairs into a giant piano a la Big. Granted in the U.S. not a single extra person would have taken the stairs and at least two women would have called the cops about a possible bomb. Still, good going, guys, but I would have just turned off the escalator.

Cover of the original U.S. edition, 1883.
Author | Mark Twain |
Country | United States/England |
Language | English |
Genre | biography |
Publisher | James R. Osgood & Co., Boston (U.S. edition) Chatto & Windus, London (English edition) |

Life on the Mississippi (1883) is a memoir by Mark Twain of his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War, and also a travel book, recounting his trip along the Mississippi from St. Louis to New Orleans many years after the War.
The book begins with a brief history of the river as reported by Europeans and Americans, beginning with the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1542.[2] It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' of an experienced pilot. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River in a section that was first published in 1876, entitled "Old Times on the Mississippi".
In the second half, Twain narrates his trip many years later on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads, and the new, large cities, and adds his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales.
Simultaneously published in 1883 in the United States and Great Britain, the book is said to have been the first submitted to a publisher as a typewritten manuscript.[3]
In 1980 the book was adapted as a TV movie for American public television, with David Knell performing as Sam Clemens (Mark Twain's real name), and Robert Lansing as Horace Bixby, the steamboat pilot who mentored him. The movie used many tall tales from the book, woven into a fictional narrative. A notable actress featured in the production was Marcy Walker, who began appearing as Liza Colby on the daytime serial All My Children the following year.
In 2010, Life on the Mississippi was adapted as a stage musical, with book and lyrics by Douglas M. Parker and music by Denver Casado. It was produced that year in Kansas City, Missouri and Door County, Wisconsin.

Wii Preview: Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, and Mario Woods. Tiger! Er, Tiger Woods.
We check out three games sampled last night at a Nintendo party.
Nintendo threw a little shindig last night, and I went to sample the company's upcoming wares. The games Nintendo showed off included Super Paper Mario, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, and Mario Party 8. Frankly, all three games look darn good.
I spent the most time on Super Paper Mario, sequel to the excellent GameCube RPG Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and it's even weirder than its predecessor. Unlike the straight role-playing in previous Paper Mario games, Super Paper Mario is a puzzle-filled platform game with some loose RPG elements. The titular 2D plumber gets the power to move about in the third dimension, adding fantastic puzzle elements to otherwise flat landscapes. Impassible walls and dead ends can be overcome by switching to 3D mode and revealing that the wall is only paper thin, or that the dead end is actually the start of a bridge. The level of the game that I played was filled with clever 3D puzzles that included hidden pipes, invisible blocks, moving platforms, and plenty of imposing-yet-flat enemies. Of course, you can't spend all your time in 3D; after a while in 3D mode, Mario starts to lose health and must return to flatness. Fortunately, even 2D mode is full of enemies to stomp, puzzles to solve, and characters to interact with. What little I played of Super Paper Mario got me pretty pumped for the rest of the game when it hits in April.
I also played some Tiger Woods PGA 07. Predictably, this game is Wii Sports Golf on steroids, and that's a good thing. I didn't spend enough time with it to get the hang of the control scheme, so I can't really say whether it's a big improvement over Wii Sports' model. I did, however, spend enough time to notice much better graphics and physics than Wii Sports, and a much greater sense of realism. I also spent enough time to twist my shoulder awkwardly while swinging the Wiimote. It's still sore.
Finally, there was Mario Party 8. If you've played Mario Party versions 1 through 7, you know exactly what to expect. Giant game boards where Mario characters run around collecting coins and stars. The minigames were nicely varied and made good use of the Wiimote. Among other minigames, I saw a House of the Dead-style target-shooting game that involved launching balls at ghosts, a crazy race of navigating spinning platforms and avoiding Bullet Bills. I also saw a kart-racing minigame that left me wondering when they'll finally announce a Mario Kart Wii. In short, Mario Party 8 looks like a sweet party game, but I don't know how easily it will unseat Wii Sports.

A wide hall is located in the centre of the spatial composition optically unifying the following most important groups of rooms at the 14 m height: on the first floor – the stalls of the Large Hall, library and administration rooms; on the second floor – the balcony of the Large Hall, Small Hall and auditoriums, but on the third floor – auditoriums. Thanks to the large glass facing the park the notable central recreation room connects the interior with canal greenery in a harmonic way. Originally, this building was called "Centre for political education". The halls and libraries of the centre hosted only ideological events organised by the Communist Party.
During the National Awakening Rīga Congress Centre was the home for ideas of Latvia's independence. In the Large Hall it was declared out loudly for the first time that the Soviet Union had occupied Latvia. Independence ideas were also approved in meetings organised by different creative associations (journalists, writers etc.) and intellectuals and taking place at the Congress Centre.
The Congress Centre has three halls, 10 auditoriums, a lobby and café that can accommodate more than 5,000 people. Rīga Congress Centre houses Department of Education, Culture and Sports and Property Department of Rīga City Council, as well as concert and theatre box offices. Foreign Literature Library is also situated in the Congress Centre holding the collection of more than 60,000 publications in 53 languages. A wide range of reference literature, including rare encyclopaedias and dictionaries, is available in the reading room.
Rīga Congress Centre has the advantage of multifunctional use of premises. We offer premises for different events – concerts and performances, congresses, seminars, meetings, film demonstration, exhibitions and cooperative events.

Teaneck, NJ - February 14, 2008 - The Holy Name Hospital School of Nursing Class of 2007 has achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the national licensing exam (NCLEX), according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN).
The Holy Name School of Nursing is currently ranked number one of 1,565 registered nursing programs nationwide in passing the NCLEX.
Boards of nursing in the U.S. regulate and license registered nurses (RNs) and practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs). All member boards recognize NCSBN's nurse licensure examinations NCLEX for entry-level licensure of RNs and LPN/VNs.
NCSBN is the vehicle through which boards of nursing act and counsel together to provide regulatory excellence for public health, safety and welfare. To ensure that nurses entering the workforce have the necessary knowledge and skills to practice, NCSBN developed the NCLEX nurse licensure examinations. The tests are rigorously evaluated every three years to keep pace with the constantly changing health care environment. The NCLEX is usually the final step in the nurse licensure process. More than 200,000 nursing candidates worldwide took the test in 2007. The average pass rate was 69 percent, according to NCSBN.
The School of Nursing Registered Nurse Program is a highly competitive registered nurse diploma program, affiliated with St. Peter's College in Jersey City, New Jersey. The program is accredited with the New Jersey Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. An optional A.A.S. degree in health sciences is also available through a collaborative agreement.
Since 1972 Holy Name Hospital has also sponsored a School of Nursing - Practical Nurse Program, a 12-month practical nurse diploma program accredited with the New Jersey Board of Nursing.

The Toothpick Man is driving me nuts.
I don't know who he is but he's gonna get it when I catch him.
There is some fella (I assume it's a fella) who is promiscuously dropping toothpicks on the floor in the store I work at.
When I find them I grab a tissue and pick them up, this has been going on for 5 years now and it has irritated me because it's gross and rude, but now I'm pisssed because a little girl in flip flops found the toothpick before I did, well actually her big toe did where it met the underside of her toenail.
You know that had to hurt! She was crying, bless her little heart but she was being as brave as she could as her Mom pulled it out. I just happened to be near by and apologized sincerely to them until I was blue in the face and got the girl a Popsicle, that seemed to smooth things over but Toothpick Man had better hope I don't catch him in the act.... he'll get an earful to be sure.

In an effort to promote player safety at an early age, USA Football is planning to teach youth coaches at a master trainer workshop March 2-3 in Indianapolis.
USA Football will instruct 21 Master Trainers, including some of the top high school football coaches in the nation as well as former NFL and college players. This group will then teach the Heads Up Football program to youth league leaders across the country.
One of the Master Trainers will be Broomfield, Colo. Legacy High School head Coach Wayne Voorhees, who will attend the clinic in Indianapolis.
Voorhees has been a high school football coach for 20 years, including 10 as a head coach at Legacy High School in Broomfield, Colo., where he is 50-27 with nine playoff appearances. A social studies and business teacher, he was the Denver Broncos' 2011 nominee for the NFL Don Shula Coach of the Year Award. Voorhees has directed the Broncos' NFL High School player Development program for the past eight years and has been part of the Broncos' NFL 7-on-7 National Tournament staff for five years.
"Youth football leagues in our region have a tremendous opportunity in 2013 to adopt USA Football's Heads Up Football program," Broncos Head Coach John Fox said. "USA Football has earned my trust – they put the safety of our youth first and offer the training that coaches need to be exceptional teachers. Wayne Voorhees is part of Heads Up Football because, like the Broncos, he is committed to raising youth football's standards."
Heads Up Football is a comprehensive approach to a better and safer game, encompassing USA Football's accredited Level 1 Coach Certification Course, Heads Up Tackling techniques, educating leagues on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concussion recognition and response protocols and instructing on proper helmet and shoulder pad fitting. USA Football's Master Trainers bring a wealth of experience and success – including a combined 26 high school state championships – to the position.
After completing the USA Football workshop, Master Trainers will instruct youth leagues in their regions on Heads Up Football, educating youth league-appointed Player Safety Coaches who will oversee their leagues' implementation of the highest national coaching standards for youth football. These standards include league-wide completion of the Level 1 Coach Certification Course as well as conducting a Heads Up Football Coaches Clinic and a Heads Up Safety Clinic for parents and players within their leagues. Player Safety Coaches also will monitor their leagues' practices and games throughout the season.
"Heads Up Football promotes a safer, better game," USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenbeck said. "We are proud to have this group assist us in leading America's youth football community as Heads Up Football Master Trainers, helping to set the highest standards of player safety and coaching education in any youth sport."

Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Artist's conception of LISA spacecraft
Operator | ESA, NASA |
Launch date | 2034 (planned)[1][2] |
Satellite of | Sun |
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a proposed space mission concept designed to detect and accurately measure gravitational waves[3] - tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time - from astronomical sources. The LISA Project has now evolved into eLISA (Evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). The project is currently a collaboration of the self-funded and independent eLISA consortium. [4]
The LISA project was previously a joint effort between the United States space agency NASA and the European Space Agency ESA. However, on April 8, 2011, NASA announced that it would likely be unable to continue its LISA partnership with the European Space Agency,[5] due to funding limitations. [6] ESA has therefore revised the mission's concept to fit into a European-only cost envelope. The project was chosen as the L3 mission within the ESA Cosmic Vision Program, with a tentative launch date in 2034.[2]
A proof-of-concept mission, LISA Pathfinder (LPF), designed to demonstrate the technology necessary for a successful full mission is due for launch in 2015. [7][8]
LISA/eLISA will be the first dedicated space-based gravitational wave detector. It will measure gravitational waves directly by using laser interferometry to monitor the fluctuations in the relative distances between three spacecraft, arranged in an equilateral triangle with 5 million kilometer arms, (eLISA: 1 million kilometers) and flying along an Earth-like heliocentric orbit.[3]
LISA/eLISA is designed to directly observe gravitational waves, which are distortions of space-time travelling at the speed of light. Passing gravitational waves alternately squeeze and stretch objects by a tiny amount. Gravitational waves are caused by energetic events in the universe and, unlike any other radiation, can pass unhindered by intervening mass. By 2028 scientists' understanding of the universe will have been dramatically improved by advanced observatories of electromagnetic radiation. Launching LISA/eLISA will add a new sense to scientists' perception of the universe and enable them to listen to a world that is invisible with light.[9][10]
LISA/eLISA will detect signals e.g. from massive black holes that merge at the center of galaxies,[11] or massive black holes [12] that consume smaller compact objects; from binaries of compact stars in our Galaxy;[13] and possibly from other sources of cosmological origin, such as the very early phase of the Big Bang,[14] and speculative astrophysical objects like cosmic strings and domain boundaries.[15]
Mission Description[edit]
The LISA/eLISA Mission's primary objective is to detect and measure gravitational waves produced by compact binary systems and mergers of supermassive black holes. LISA/eLISA will observe gravitational waves by measuring differential changes in the length of its arms, as sensed by laser interferometry.[16] Each of the LISA spacecraft contains two telescopes, two lasers and two test masses, arranged in two optical assemblies pointed at the other two spacecraft. This forms Michelson-like interferometers, each centered on one of the spacecraft, with the platinum-gold test masses defining the ends of the arms.[17] The entire arrangement, which is ten times larger than the orbit of the Moon, will be placed in solar orbit at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth, but trailing the Earth by 20 degrees, and with its orbital plane tilted relative to the ecliptic by 60 degrees.[16] The mean linear distance between the constellation and the Earth will be 50 million kilometers.[18]
To eliminate non-gravitational forces such as light pressure and solar wind on the test masses, each spacecraft is constructed as a zero-drag satellite, and effectively floats around the masses, using capacitive sensing to determine their position relative to the spacecraft, and very precise thrusters to keep itself centered around them.[19]
Lisa Pathfinder[edit]
An ESA test mission called LISA Pathfinder (LPF) will prove LISA/eLISA´s key technologies in space. LPF consists of a single spacecraft with one of the LISA/eLISA interferometer arms shortened to about 38 cm, so that it fits inside a single spacecraft. LPF will be launched in 2015.[20] [21]
The main goal of LISA is to use direct measurements of gravitational waves to study astrophysical systems and to test Einstein's theory of gravity. The existence of gravitational waves is inferred from observations of the decreasing orbital periods of several binary pulsars, such as the famous PSR 1913+16. However, gravitational waves have not yet been directly detected on Earth because of their extremely small effect on matter. Observing them requires two things: a very strong source of gravitational waves – such as the merger of two black holes – and extremely high detection sensitivity. The LISA instrument should be able to measure relative displacements with a resolution of 20 picometers over a distance of 5 million kilometers, yielding a strain sensitivity of better than 1 part in 1020. Due to its sensitivity in the low-frequency band of the gravitational-wave spectrum, LISA will detect waves generated by binary stars within our galaxy (the Milky Way); by binary, supermassive black holes in other galaxies; and by extreme mass ratio inspirals ("EMRIs"), in which a stellar-mass black hole is captured by a supermassive black hole.
Other gravitational-wave experiments[edit]
Previous searches for gravitational waves in space were conducted for short periods by planetary missions that had other primary science objectives (such as Cassini–Huygens), using microwave Doppler tracking to monitor fluctuations in the Earth-spacecraft distance. By contrast, LISA is a dedicated mission that will use laser interferometry to achieve a much higher sensitivity. Other gravitational wave antennas, such as LIGO, VIRGO, and GEO 600, are already in operation on Earth, but their sensitivity at low frequencies is limited by the largest practical arm lengths, by seismic noise, and by interference from nearby moving masses. Thus, LISA and ground detectors are complementary rather than competitive, much like astronomical observatories in different electromagnetic bands (e.g., ultraviolet and infrared).

Surprised I hear so little talk about Jent. He was one of my favorite OSU players, but I really am not sure about him as a coach. It's hard to really evaluate assistant coaches in basketball since you don't know exactly what they do (much harder than say football coaches whose role is more defined). However, it was my understanding that he was supposed to be a shooting coach, and the results have not been pretty. Between Buford last year and Craft this year, the shooting is really bad. I think it is still early in the season to be too critical of Craft or any of the other shooters, but it is odd that I heard all offseason about Craft doing a ton of shooting and not only has his shot been atrocious but his form looks really poor.
The other thing an assistant coach can really do is recruit and Jent has not done that to my knowledge. I think Dickerson pulled in the guy from Maryland and Boals has been a solid recruiter. Frankly, though, recruiting seems a bit off since guys like Miller and Groce moved on.
I am no insider and maybe Jent is doing a great job, but thought I would open up the discussion since shooting is a major weakness of this team (and last year's as well IMO, at least compared to previous OSU teams).
JAG24 said...
At least thus far into it, I don't think it can be disputed that the results have been poor. Buford and now Craft both seem to be highly coachable guys, so it is hard to understand why they got worse under Jent's tutelage. Jent had success with LeBron as his shot improved dramatically, so he must know something.
shep777 said...
I think we have to accept the fact and realize that shooting a basketball is a skill and not a given. It requires great hand/eye coordination the same way hitting a baseball does. Now, shooting from distance is much easier than hitting a baseball but it's not a skill that all players can attain. Just having a shooting coach and practicing countless hours in the gym will not get it. For some guys you can either shoot or you can't. Buford could shoot but had head issues....Craft does not have a good stroke and will never be a great shooter. Look at Rondo at Boston....if he could shoot he would be the best point guard in the nba and a top 5 player. I'm sure he's worked on it but players can only get to a certain level. To expect Craft, Scott, Thompson, etc. to become great shooters in unrealistic....we have to hope they can at least develop an average outside shot.

Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor
This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (November 2012) |
Maximilian II (31 July 1527 – 12 October 1576) was king of Bohemia and king in Germany from 1562, king of Hungary and Croatia from 1563, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation from 1564 until his death.[1] He was a member of the House of Habsburg.
Born in Vienna, he was a son of his predecessor Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary (1503–1547). He was named after his great-grandfather, Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor.
Educated principally in Italy, he gained some experience of warfare during the campaign of his paternal uncle Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor against France in 1544, and also during the War of the league of Schmalkalden, and soon began to take part in imperial business. Having in September 1548 married his cousin Maria, daughter of Charles V, he acted as the emperor's representative in Spain from 1548 to 1550, returning to Germany in December 1550 in order to take part in the discussion over the imperial succession.
Charles V wished his son Philip (afterwards king of Spain) to succeed him as emperor, but his brother Ferdinand, who had already been designated as the next occupant of the imperial throne, and Maximilian objected to this proposal. At length a compromise was reached. Philip was to succeed Ferdinand, but during the former's reign Maximilian, as king of the Romans, was to govern Germany. This arrangement was not carried out, and is only important because the insistence of the emperor seriously disturbed the harmonious relations which had hitherto existed between the two branches of the Habsburg family; an illness which befell Maximilian in 1552 was attributed to poison given to him in the interests of his cousin and brother-in-law, Philip of Spain.
About this time he took up his residence in Vienna, being engaged mainly in the government of the Austrian dominions and in defending them against the Turks. The religious views of the king of Bohemia, as Maximilian had been called since his recognition as the future ruler of that country in 1549, had always been somewhat uncertain, and he had probably learned something of Lutheranism in his youth; but his amicable relations with several Protestant princes, which began about the time of the discussion over the succession, were probably due more to political than to religious considerations. However, in Vienna he became very intimate with Sebastian Pfauser (de), a court preacher with strong leanings towards Lutheranism, and his religious attitude caused some uneasiness to his father. Fears were freely expressed that he would definitely leave the Catholic Church, and when Ferdinand became emperor in 1558 he was prepared to assure Pope Paul IV that his son should not succeed him if he took this step. Eventually Maximilian remained nominally an adherent of the older faith, although his views were tinged with Lutheranism until the end of his life. After several refusals he consented in 1560 to the banishment of Pfauser, and began again to attend the Masses of the Catholic Church.
In November 1562 Maximilian was chosen king of the Romans, or German king, at Frankfurt, where he was crowned a few days later, after assuring the Catholic electors of his fidelity to their faith, and promising the Protestant electors that he would publicly accept the confession of Augsburg when he became emperor. He also took the usual oath to protect the Church, and his election was afterwards confirmed by the papacy. He was the first King of the Romans not to be crowned in Aachen. In September 1563 he was crowned king of Hungary by the Archbishop of Esztergom, Nicolaus Olahus, and on his father's death, in July 1564, he succeeded to the empire and to the kingdoms of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia.
The new emperor had already shown that he believed in the necessity for a thorough reform of the Church. He was unable, however, to obtain the consent of Pope Pius IV to the marriage of the clergy, and in 1568 the concession of communion in both kinds to the laity was withdrawn. On his part Maximilian granted religious liberty to the Lutheran nobles and knights in Austria, and refused to allow the publication of the decrees of the council of Trent. Amidst general expectations on the part of the Protestants he met his first Diet of Augsburg in March 1566. He refused to accede to the demands of the Lutheran princes; on the other hand, although the increase of sectarianism was discussed, no decisive steps were taken to suppress it, and the only result of the meeting was a grant of assistance for the Turkish War, which had just been renewed. Collecting a large army Maximilian marched to defend his territories; but no decisive engagement had taken place when a truce was made in 1568, and the emperor continued to pay tribute to the sultan as the price of peace in the western and northern areas of the Hungarian kingdom still under Habsburg control.
Meanwhile the relations between Maximilian and Philip of Spain had improved; and the emperor's increasingly cautious and moderate attitude in religious matters was doubtless because the death of Philip's son, Don Carlos, had opened the way for the succession of Maximilian, or of one of his sons, to the Spanish throne. Evidence of this friendly feeling was given in 1570, when the emperor's daughter, Anna, became the fourth wife of Philip; but Maximilian was unable to moderate the harsh proceedings of the Spanish king against the revolting inhabitants of the Netherlands. In 1570 the emperor met the diet of Speyer and asked for aid to place his eastern borders in a state of defence, and also for power to repress the disorder caused by troops in the service of foreign powers passing through Germany. He proposed that his consent should be necessary before any soldiers for foreign service were recruited in the empire; but the estates were unwilling to strengthen the imperial authority, the Protestant princes regarded the suggestion as an attempt to prevent them from assisting their co-religionists in France and the Netherlands, and nothing was done in this direction, although some assistance was voted for the defense of Austria. The religious demands of the Protestants were still unsatisfied, while the policy of toleration had failed to give peace to Austria. Maximilian's power was very limited; it was inability rather than unwillingness that prevented him from yielding to the entreaties of Pope Pius V to join in an attack on the Turks both before and after the victory of Lepanto in 1571; and he remained inert while the authority of the empire in north-eastern Europe was threatened.
In 1575, Maximilian was elected by the part of Polish and Lithuanian magnates to be the King of Poland in opposition to Stephan IV Bathory, but he did not manage to become widely accepted there and was forced to leave Poland.
Maximilian died on 12 October 1576 in Regensburg while preparing to invade Poland. On his deathbed he refused to receive the last sacraments of the Church. He is buried in St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague.
By his wife Maria he had a family of nine sons and six daughters. He was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Rudolf, who had been chosen king of the Romans in October 1575. Another of his sons, Matthias, also became emperor; three others, Ernest, Albert and Maximilian, took some part in the government of the Habsburg territories or of the Netherlands, and a daughter, Elizabeth, married Charles IX of France.
Religious policies[edit]
Maximilian's policies of religious neutrality and peace in the Empire afforded its Roman Catholics and Protestants a breathing-space after the first struggles of the Reformation.
He disappointed the German Protestant princes by his refusal to invest Lutheran administrators of prince-bishoprics with their imperial fiefs. Yet on a personal basis he granted freedom of worship to the Protestant nobility and worked for reform in the Roman Catholic Church, including the right of priests to marry. This failed because of Spanish opposition.
Maximilian II was a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
Marriage and children[edit]
On 13 September 1548, Maximilian married his first cousin Maria of Spain, daughter of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Isabella of Portugal. They had sixteen children:
- Archduchess Anna of Austria (1 November 1549 – 26 October 1580). Married Philip II of Spain, her uncle. She was the mother of Philip III of Spain.
- Archduke Ferdinand of Austria (28 March 1551 – 25 June 1552).
- Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor (18 July 1552 – 20 January 1612).
