Sports Center Practices and Procedures
Sports Center/Facility Usage
The Reed College Sports Center and all facilities including athletic fields, tennis courts and basketball courts can be utilized by alumni, current staff, faculty and students and other individuals that have received prior authorization from the Director of Physical Education and Athletics. Other general public access and usage to the center and these facilities is not allowed.
Tennis Court Usage
The Reed Tennis courts are available for usage by students, staff, faculty, past women's committee members and alumni ONLY. The courts are locked during the summer months to discourage outside users from monopolizing our limited facilities, we do this to ensure that use may be available for campus use. This year we went from four (4) courts to two (2) courts with the new performance arts building being constructed, so limiting use of the courts to outside groups in order to cater to Reed groups is a priority.
Keys to the tennis courts can be checked out at the Sports Center cage during open hours. Keys are also available for long-term check out for the summer ($50.00 refundable deposit required for Alums and Women's Committee Members). Please see sports center supervisors for details.
Physical Education Sponsored Events
It is a mutual expectation between all Reed Physical Education personnel and the student population that all PE events, programs, and classes whether on or off campus remain entirely substance free. A Physical Education sponsored event is any activity that is subsidized in any way by PE department funding or support.

Precision Wire Saw Machining of Advanced Engineering Materials
North Carolina State University, 2000 - $18,000
This E-Team studied the wire machining technologies for advanced engineering materials. The traditional inner diamond saw blade for slicing the single crystal silicon ingot to thin wafers has reached its technical limits. The free-abrasive wire saw machining process has been developed to address the needs to slice large size, twelve-inch or bigger in diameter, silicon wafers. One of the recent developments in wire saw wafer slicing technology is the thin, fixed-abrasive diamond wire. This new type of wire has not only improved the material removal rate in wire saw machining but also expanded the type of work-material from silicon to ceramics, composites, eastomers, and other non-electrically conductive ceramic materials. Three new wire saw machining configurations, 2-axis wire contour sawing, 4-axis wire contour sawing, and cylindrical wire sawing, were proposed. Similar to the wire EDM process for electrically conductive materials, these new wire saw machining methods can provide a flexible and cost-effective method to machine non-electrically conductive materials to complicated shapes.

The Jelly Jam Biography - The Jelly Jam Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Solo Debut from the Ex-smashing Pumpkin. Features Guest Vocals by Billy Corgan, Catherine Wheel Frontman Rob Dickinson and the Legendary Bill Medley.On his solo debut, Life Begins Again, Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan drummer Jimmy Chamberlain takes a left turn from the cathartic rock of his former bands. Instead, he delves into a set of intricate songs better suited for the chill-out room than the mosh-pit. Even guest appearances by old boss Billy Corgan ("Loki Cat") and Catherine Wheel's iron-lunged singer Rob Dickinson ("Life Begins Again", "Love Is Real") hardly take away from the overall twilight mood of the disc, which draws prog-rock into the new millennium while giving a quick nod to Chamberlain's early metal years in the heady "Cranes of Prey." –Aidin Vaziri

More than 870,000 students in Georgia took part in the free or reduced price school lunch program this year. In many cases, that lunch is a child's only good meal and that means there's a void when school's out. Two non-profit groups are teaming up to fill the summer food gap. Across the metro area, Quality Care for Children (QCC) and Project Open Hand provide free lunch to needy children at 17 summer camps. They help feed 1,100 kids around 74,000 meals. QCC'S CEO Pam Tatum says hunger is hard to detect, but with one in 4 children in Georgia searching for their next meal, educators are seeing it more and more."Children come to school hungry who didn't get breakfast, or maybe they didn't have dinner the night before," Tatum said. "We've had reports from child care providers that parents are sometimes coming in and eating off the children's plates that children are asking to take home leftovers." The dieticians and chefs at Project Open Hand dish up nutritious plates and teach the kids about food."We hear so much about the obesity crisis in our country, epidemics and diabetes in our children and it's health promoting foods that we give our children now that's going to build a healthy generation for the future," said dietician Charlotte Hayes. QCC and Open Hand will continue to fight hunger, one plate at a time."We feel like it's our responsibility -- really everyone's responsibility -- to step up and do something about this. It doesn't have to happen in Georgia or in the United States," said Tatum.Many of the summer food service programs require children to be enrolled in them, but the Georgia Food Bank Association has created an easy way for parents to find free summer meal locations near them. Text the word "FOODGA" to 877-877 and enter your address when prompted. The system will send information on the three closest locations to you.

Lawyers filed motions Thursday asking a federal judge to declare the Minnesota Sex Offender Program unconstitutional, move the people in it to less restrictive facilities and appoint a court officer to oversee the program.
The filings came in a class-action lawsuit on behalf of more than 600 sex offenders who were committed to the treatment program indefinitely after completing their prison sentences. They're not free to leave the program's prison-like facilities in St. Peter and Moose Lake.
The program has been under fire because of continuing questions about its constitutionality and high costs. Only one patient has ever been successfully released from the program since its creation in 1994. A Department of Human Services review board recently recommended two more offenders for provisional release, which would require court approval.
In Thursday's motions, the plaintiffs asked U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank to declare a key statute governing the program unconstitutional as it's been applied. They said it's all but impossible to meet the state's discharge standards. They also want the state to immediately provide less restrictive alternative treatment facilities and re-evaluate each plaintiff to see if they qualify for them. They also want a special master appointed to oversee the program and ensure that it is staffed adequately to give each patient the opportunity to graduate to freedom.
A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15.
"We have received and will carefully review the plaintiffs' motions, which were filed today in compliance with court imposed deadlines," Anne Barry, the state's deputy commissioner of human services. "We have been making progress toward addressing concerns about the Minnesota Sex Offender Program and have taken several steps that balance client needs with public safety."
Dan Gustafson, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said the program is essentially a life sentence.
"No one ever gets out," Gustafson said.

Police responded to a disturbance call the Long Island home of Dina Lohan, mother of troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan on Wednesday morning.
According to TMZ.com, mother and daughter got into a heated argument before 8 a.m. following a night out together at a nightclub in New York City.
The pair were reportedly arguing in a car. Lindsay Lohan suffered a cut on her leg, TMZ reported.
An investigation revealed "no criminality." Police did not release details on the subject of the argument, reported the Associated Press.
There are unconfirmed reports of an incident involving Lohan's limo driver.
Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, released to TMZ a recording of his conversation purportedly with Lindsay at the time of the incident.
According to TMZ, the fight ignited over money. Lindsay gave her mother $40K to save her from foreclosure. Lindsay wanted her money back and then the fight broke out, reported TMZ.
Listen to the conversation here
Lohan, 26, who has been spotted in recent weeks around New York City, has reportedly been staying with her mother.
Nassau County police were at the house located on Old Mill Road in North Merrick but left before 10 a.m.
An investigation revealed "no criminality." Police did not release details on the subject of the argument.
A message left with her publicist by the Associated Press was not immediately returned.
The 26-year-old has had frequent run-ins with the law.
She was involved in a New York City police investigation about two weeks ago. She alleged a man had assaulted her in a New York hotel, but charges against the man were later dropped.
That came days after another man claimed she ran over his foot with her car.

4.88/5 rDev +28.1%
Visiting Madison from NW Ohio (where I can get all those delicious Michigan IPAs). Served in an imperial pint glass. This brew is only available at one of the Great Dane locations and you need to go THERE. (See previous review for name.) Just a world-class DIPA. If you like strong, tasty, bitter, and complex ones that will take you on a ride, this is one of 'em. Had a 3F Dreadnaught the next evening for comparison (but from a bomber, yes I know) and the Great Dane was better. Don't miss it!

This is one of the more consistent offerings from the Great Dane (Hilldale location only) in Madison WI. A reasonable malt base serves as the backdrop for excellent hop presence, highlighted by that great aroma that preceeds the beer. Not the most attractive beer but that's not particularly important for this style. Worth seeking

This beer is pretty tasty, but it is really and english iipa. There is a bit of floral notes and bitterness, but nothing over the top ehich is what I would expect. In the flavour ther is a ton of earthy/ spicy hops that combine very well the maltiness, but I want a cirus bomb with a iimp. Otherwise its tasty. What makes this beer ace is the incredible drinkability! Solid. I can drink a lot of these!

Poured In: Pint Glass
On Tap At: Great Dane, Hilldale
I stopped here after work with a few people from work. I had sampled this a few weeks ago, but I didn't think a sample glass was really enough to warrant a review. Now that I had a full pint, I think I'm ready.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy copper and amber color with two fingers of head. The bubbles on the head looks nice and oily from the hops. Slightly effervescent with some bubbles making their way up to the top of my glass.
Smell: I stick my nose into the pint glass, and sweet malt and hops hit me in the face. It smells like pine, flowers, orange peel and grapefruit. A great combination of hop aromas.
Taste: As the beer crosses my palate, first up is sweet, sticky and bready caramel malt. The bready flavor is really pleasant, but it doesn't last forever. The malts are now the backbone, supporting the earthy hop flavors like pine, grass and flowers. With the beer drifting away I'm left with a bitter and citrus aftertaste including the great hop citrus notes like orange peel and grapefruit.
Mouthfeel: A medium bodied beer, slightly on the more full side. The carbonation is spot on. I feel like I've had to wait after pouring my beer lately for the carbonation to die down a bit and really pick up on the flavor, but this one was ready to go right away.
Drinkability: This beer doesn't stick out from the crowd, but it's a very enjoyable beer. The blend of hops and malt used make this a great IPA that everyone should sample.

At the Hilldale location.
Pours to a deep golden orange, generally clear with only a slight smogginess. The beige head is decently sized and sticks around a bit.
It noses of shortbread, caramel apples, pine needles, pine tar, grapefruit, and wildflowers. All this is mashed together and spiked with gin & tonic: with it's juniper, small yet evident heat, and mineral qualities.
A bit bready at its onset into the mouth, it sweetens with sugar cookies, cooked apples, mango, and blood oranges. It regains a stately shortbread demeanor, then the hops hit with pine, lime, orange, grapefruit, more pine, then some alcohol, and that same Gin & Tonic outro from the nose. The heat is more suggested than felt. The mineral bitterness is real.
Just a notch less than full bodied, with a struggling but gamely carbonation. It something of a by-the-numbers-double-IPA, as it doesn't bring anything new or extra loud to the table. It merely does what it sets out to do.
It's good in short bursts, but(obviously) it's no sessioner, and even less so given a variety of the other options available.
From the looks of things, this may be a regular at the Hilldale location (it has an engraved wood sign, as opposed to being hand-written on the chalk board, and is listed full time on their website)...the bartender "wasn't sure"...figures. If so, that's very cool. While no world-beater, the more I see of this, the more I will drink.

Reviewing the Great Dane Imperial IPA from the Great Dane Pub And Brewing Company. This is my favorite beer that they make, and it's my go to brew whenever I am at their Hilldale location chomping down some of Madison's finest foods from an incredibly versatile menu.
Score: 88
Fresh 20 oz tap pour served in an imperial pint glass and enjoyed on 03/21/12. Review is from notes.
Appearance: Light copper color that falls closer to translucent on the transparent/translucent scale. Served with no head save for an off-white ring around the glass. Below average lacing, above average retention. 3.5/5
Smell: Pines, orange citrus, caramel malt, lemon, earth and spiced rye. Hint of floral hops. 3.5/5
Taste: Earthy hops up front, followed by sticky orange citrus and sharp lemon zest. There is a heavy caramel malt backbone to this brew. Heavy doese of bitter hops linger on the midpalate. Barley malt and biscuity malt flavor present too. This is a very hoppy malt bomb of an imperial IPA, but it's not overly extreme. Some warming effect on the palate, but I would not call this one boozy. To the contrary, it is incredibly drinkable, though a bit of a sipper, and the ABV really sneaks up on you if you are not careful. 4/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Oily mouthfeel. Dry and bitter finish.
Overall: A super solid microbrew from one of my favorite places in Madison to eat. I will surely miss this beer when I move this summer. This one is only served at the Hilldale branch of the Dane, but it should be served at all of them!
Recommendation: If heavy doses of malts and hops are not your thing, you probably want to avoid this beer. IPA lovers, however, should absolutely order a glass while in town.
Pairings: The Great Dane's Pub Burger or their Nakoma Nachos.
Cost: $5.50 for a 20 oz pour or $4.50 for a 12 oz glass.

Reviewed from notes. On tap in Madison - August 2009.
Pours a golden-orange color with a white head and a bit of lacing. The nose brings some pine, floral hops, and some citrus rind. A light malt backing. The taste is a bit more plain and while there is a bit of pine needle flavoring, the hops aren't nearly what they were in the nose. The hops come roaring back in the feel, with a really pleasant spruce and rind bitterness. Drinks well in the end and is a pretty solid brew.

School board to learn more about teaching teachers at meeting today
Original post made on Apr 9, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, April 9, 2013, 7:49 AM

If we're adding staff, it should be child facing, not teaching teachers. Our teachers are very well qualified, that's why they get paid much more than the average for the country or the state. They know what they are doing. They need extra bodies to teach children, not teach teachers.
School board please pay attention and get the funding going the right direction. I realy dislike how school board meetings are used like this to "educate" and make us feel better about decisions that are not child facing.
on Apr 9, 2013 at 8:36 am
Teaches of California get paid more than the average for the country not because they are best qualified but because California teachers unions are most powerful and most corrupt in the country. Continuous teachers' education makes perfect sense, but it should not be paid by taxpayers money. Teachers should become personally responsible for their performance; schools should be able to fire under-performed teachers and to hire non-unionized teachers who are better qualified for a job. In California "no child left behind" policies are replaced by "no union member left behind". Good for union bosses, bad for the future of California.
on Apr 9, 2013 at 9:08 am
The article doesn't present enough information to support a pro or con view. Having belonged to a union twice in my life, I found union membership uplifts morale (as well as quality of life) and contributes to a more productive work environment. Those against unions tend to be damaged people who never learned how to work with others.

Dear Fu,
Research has found that vaginal lubricants can be toxic to sperm and interfere with a female's cervical mucus, preventing it from protecting the sperm from the vagina's own acidic secretions (which can kill sperm) just before ovulation. Artificial lubricants prevent sperm from reaching the cervical mucus quickly, causing them to die in the vagina's acidic environment before they get to the uterus.
Therefore, if you're in need or desire the use of lubricant while trying to conceive, your best bet is to increase your own natural lubrication. This can be done by spending more time on foreplay, taking your time in maximizing sexual excitement before thrusting. Warm water is also a lube option in not being toxic, with the brand Pre-Seed being the only lube on the market specially designed to not damage sperm.
Good luck!
Dr. Yvonne

Want to name Pluto's two tiniest moons? Then you'll need to dig deep into mythology.
Astronomers announced a contest Monday to name the two itty-bitty moons of Pluto discovered over the past two years.
Three of Pluto's moons already have names associated with Hades and the underworld. They are Charon, the ferryman of Hades; the half-human, half-fish spirit Nix; and the multi-headed monster Hydra.
The two unnamed moons need similarly shady references. Right now, they go by the bland titles of P4 and P5. They're no more than 15 to 20 miles across.
Online voting will last two weeks, until Monday, February 25. Twelve choices are available at on the website Plutorocks.com Choices include the hero who slew Hydra, Hercules; and Styx, the river to the underworld. Write-in suggestions are welcomed.
You can go to the Pluto Rocks website to vote for your favorite name. Or you can cast a write-in ballot to submit your own name suggestion.

About This Guide
The Windows Server Virtualization guide, updated to reflect the features and functionalities of Windows Server 2008 R2, outlines the critical infrastructure design elements that are crucial to a successful implementation of Windows Server virtualization (WSv). The reader is guided through the nine-step process of designing components, layout, and connectivity in a logical, sequential order. Identification of the Microsoft Hyper-V server hosts required is presented in simple, easy-to-follow steps, helping the reader to design and plan virtual server data centers.
Figure 1. Decision flow chart
The Infrastructure Planning and Design Guide for Windows Server Virtualization includes the following nine-step process:
Step 1: Determine the Virtualization Scope. The goal of this step is to define the scope of the infrastructure that will be virtualized.
Step 2: Create the List of Workloads. This step involves identifying the total resource requirements for all of the workloads that the organization's virtual infrastructure will host.
Step 3: Select the Backup and Fault-Tolerance Approaches for Each Workload. This step involves selecting the backup approach for the virtualized workloads that will be used in the design of the host system, its storage, and network infrastructure. Also, the most appropriate fault-tolerance approach is selected for each workload that will be virtualized.
Step 4: Summarize and Analyze the Workload Requirements. This step involves analyzing the previously gathered information to summarize the overall requirements for the solution.
Step 5: Design and Place Virtualization Host Hardware. The goal of this step is to determine the most appropriate type of virtualization host hardware on which to deploy the VMs.
Step 6: Map Workloads to Hosts. The purpose of this step is to determine which workloads will be placed on which physical hosts and how many of those hosts will be required.
Step 7: Design Backup and Fault Tolerance. The purpose of this step is to determine the backup and fault-tolerance approaches that virtualization host servers will use to meet the workload requirements that were defined in Step 3.
Step 8: Design the Storage Infrastructure. This step involves planning the I/O performance and capacity requirements of the VMs that will run on each virtualization server.
Step 9: Design the Network Infrastructure. This step involves determining the host connectivity and network throughput requirements of the VMs that will run on each virtualization server.

According To US Government Data, Uncle Sam Is Broke
By Patrick A. Heller
Commentary on Precious Metals Prepared for CoinWeek.com
In past commentaries, I have discussed many of the accounting and financial sleight-of-hand gimmicks used by the US government in order to paint a rosier picture of federal finances. When doing so, I tried to give specific references and sources so that readers could double check my information. While I have received numerous compliments on such articles, there is a minority who apparently believe that when I quote data from the Federal Reserve, US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, and similar sources that I am an extremist who should be ignored.
Today, let me try to explain the financial condition of the US government in the most favorable light, relying almost exclusively on data from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
In projections released last year, using only the overly optimistic cash flow basis of accounting used by the federal government instead of the more accurate accrual basis, the CBO projects that the current spending of the US government will rise from 23% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to more than 35% by the year 2035. At the same time, revenues and tax collections will rise to a bit over 19% of GDP by 2014 and level off there. As a result, the federal budget deficit is projected to rise from about 4% of GDP in 2014 to almost 16% of GDP by 2035!
There are two scenarios for trying to manage this economy-destroying rise in the annual budget deficit that are being promoted in Washington. The first is to do nothing except inflate the money supply. The problem with this is that it will inevitably result in soaring consumer prices. As repeated past experience in the US and other countries has demonstrated, high inflation of the money supply results in destroying the income and wealth of working people and retirees.
The second scenario is to raise taxes. As of yet, no politicians are yet willing to reveal just how high taxes would have to rise to cover the projected cash flow deficits, but the CBO has spelled it out. The lowest personal income tax bracket of 10% would have to rise to 19% by 2050 and 25% by the year 2082. The middle bracket tax rate would increase from the current 25% to 47% by 2050 and all the way up to 63% in 2082. The top income tax bracket would rise from 35% today to 66% in 2050 and soar to 88% in 2082. The corporate income tax rate would also rise from 35% now to 66% in 2050 and 88% in 2082. Keep in mind that these are only federal income taxes. Collections of state and local taxes are on top of these rates.
I think most people would agree that when federal, state, and local taxes approach 100% of income, that most people would lose the incentive to work to earn that income. Yet, in order for the optimistic CBO estimates to be achieved, people in current high income tax brackets must continue to work even when virtually their entire income is seized. Therefore, even as scary as the CBO projects might be, I think common sense tells us that the results will be much worse.
Stated simply, Uncle Sam is broke.
According to the White House Office of Management and Budget, federal spending in 2011 for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other mandatory entitlement programs was projected to total $2.4 trillion. This consumed close to 100% of federal tax collections and revenues.
Last year, the August increase in the federal debt limit included a provision to establish a Congressional super-committee to come up with a token amount of spending reductions. This super-committee totally failed. Even in the middle of a crisis, Congress proved ineffective to accomplish any real spending reductions.
If you won't believe me when I say that the US government is bankrupt, maybe you will believe the Congressional Budget Office or someone like David Walker (the US Comptroller General from 1998 to 2008) when they say the same thing.
You may close your eyes, ears, and minds because you don't want to consider the implications of the US government's financial mismanagement. But ignorance or wishful thinking will not make the problem go away. Instead, you owe it to yourself, your loved ones, and others to take a sober look at reality. Then prepare yourself. In my thinking, owning physical gold and silver is part of the solution.

During the Eisenhower period, high income earners were taxed at a rate of about 90%, yet there were plenty of successful rich people then, and the average person was in better shape than they are today. I do not favor that rate and neither do any of the current presidential candidates from either party. At some point, a more normal rate of economic growth should resume, and that will result in a lot more tax revenue, and a lowering of the deficit. The deficit and debt are not only rising because of spending. They are rising because the economic crisis has resulted in a huge reduction in the amount of taxes collected, which also contributes to our bankruptcy.
I really wish I could be as optimistic about the economy writ large as Jeremy Smith is. He's right about tax rates, but there were many many brackets then, and the top marginal rate was only paid by extraordinarily high income earners. Now there are effectively only three marginal brackets, plus another quasi-bracket by eliminating "normal" deductions for the very highest earners. What is indisputable is that the super-high earners now pay very similar rates to average folks, often less due to preferential capital gains treatment.
It used to be true that as income differentials increased, so did federal revenues, because the high earners paid far higher rates. That's no longer true. We need to decide if we still want to tax incomes at all, because if we still do, we SIMPLY HAVE TO increase the progressivity of the rates, because if income is skewing to the top, and it is, unless they pay higher rates, there will never be enough revenue to support the new needy.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, IS THE AGENDA of people like Patrick Heller. The "hard money" crowd is all about comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted.
Reminder: At January F.U.N., Patrick Heller predicted silver at $60 by the end of May. By my calculation, since it's just a tad over half that with 87 days to go, by my HP 17bII+ calculations, in order to get there, silver will now need to escalate at an annual rate of about 977%.
Good luck with that.
Just before the great gold and silver run-up of the late 1970′s, William E. Simon as Treasury Secretary promised members of Congress a tour of Fort Knox, then he intentionally reneged on that pledge. Simon's huge biographical listing in Who's Who volumes show a stunning constellation of top level international levers of power he had his hands on, including being a governor of the International Monetary Fund, an organization known for hostility against the gold standard. Simon was a member of the world's premier financial organization, The Pilgrims Society, founded from the wills of South African diamond operator Cecil Rhodes, to be "a secret society gradually absorbing the wealth of the world" (Review of Reviews, New York, May 1902, pp557-558).

Dwyane Wade is and has been one of the NBA's best players, but his proficiency from three-point range has always been a bit less than one might expect from an All-NBA shooting guard. Fortunately, as he told reporters yesterday, he's not going to shoot many one-legged threes anymore.
Wade first got to the topic of one-legged threes while talking about being doubled, as he was, repeatedly, in Game 3.
Q. Is this doubling as much, Dwyane, that you've seen since LeBron got here?
DWYANE WADE: Yes. This much?
Q. This much.DWYANE WADE: Yes.
Q. Is it comparable to what teams would do to you before LeBron was here?DWYANE WADE: When Chris (Bosh) is on the court you can't do that too much.
Q. I mean before you guys got together‑‑ DWYANE WADE: Yeah. It's kind of like that. My shot selection was a little different back then. I would shoot a one‑legged three, and no one said nothing. Don't feel the same way. It's a little different.
Before he could get away from a media availability session without justifying his controversial comments on one-legged threes, Wade was pressed on the issue.
Q. Who is most vocal, Dwyane, when you do shoot a one‑legged three these days?
DWYANE WADE: I don't do it. I didn't attempt a three last night. I don't do that no more.
Q. In general? LeBron?DWYANE WADE: No. No one says it to me. I might get a look or two, but‑‑ I might hear the coaches scream from the bench. A couple of years ago it was fine.
I don't really do that no more. I try to play a smarter game, understanding my shots a little better. Like I said, I didn't attempt a free throw, but I didn't attempt a three neither. So I had a couple of double zeros last night in there.
Wade's right about cutting way down on his triples, one-legged or not. After shooting more than 200 in each year from 2008-09 to 2010-11, averaging more than 2.7 threes per game in each year but never making more than 88 year, Wade shot just 56 in the regular season in 2011-12, for an average of 1.1 threes per game.
He's taken just 18 threes in the playoffs so far, too, and just one against Boston. There's no easy way of figuring out how many were one-legged, though.

As expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed the highest possible tender on starting left tackle Donald Penn, a former undrafted free agent that first joined the Bucs in 2006 and has started every game since Week 5 of the 2007 regular season.
Penn, 26, has started 44 of the 48 games he's played in since joining the Bucs in 2006. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Penn is a restricted free agent, but would have become an unrestricted free agent if a new Collective Bargaining Agreement was executed between the NFLPA and NFL owners.
Agent Rocky Arceneaux met with Tampa Bay officials Friday morning in Indianapolis and said he is very displeased that the Bucs placed the highest restricted tender on the young left tackle for the second straight year.
Penn, who would have been among the more coveted players in free agency had the current CBA continued, is now looking at making millions less.
The high tender reduces the likelihood of Penn getting an offer sheet from another club and the sides have been unable to agree on a long-term deal.
Source: NFL.com - Jason La Canfora
PewterReport.com's Take: Everyone would agree that Donald Penn is worthy of a new, long-term, lucrative contract, but the Bucs have every right to place the tender on Penn, who is a restricted free agent. These are the rules NFL owners and the NFLPA agreed upon in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, and the Bucs are simply utilizing the tools they have at their disposal. If another team is willing to pay Penn and trade for him, it will force the Bucs to either match the long-term contract offer or part ways with him in exchange for the draft picks. Don't be surprised if Penn skips out on all voluntary workouts to show his displeasure with Tampa Bay regarding this matter. That certainly won't be ideal as the Bucs offensive line needs to work on continuity in order to improve its running game and protect quarterback Josh Freeman.

I feel it to my 90lb GSD, who is a police K9. Good amount of protein for how active he is. The red meat formula does not agree with his sensitive stomach, but the herring and turkey are fine.

Comments about EVO Herring & Salmon Formula Adult Dry Dog Food:
I work with many dogs but personally own two American Pit Bull Terriers. These dogs are prone to skin and coat issues as well as food sensitivities. My dogs are very picky about the food they eat, but the fishy aroma of this formula really made a difference in how readily they ate this food. There is no large breed option, so for larger dogs the kibble may be small, but saturating with a bit of water should help even the largest breeds be able to eat it easily without risk of choking. The product is slightly more expensive than a lot of other retail foods, but the high meat content and digestibility certainly make it worth it, as well as the wonders it works on the skin and coat. The ingredients list does use ingredient splitting (lists herring and salmon twice in different forms) and the trace amounts of glucosamine and chondroiton really doesn't do much nutritionally to help achy bones and joints, but would certainly allow to aid in supplimenting with another glucosamine and chondrioton product.
overall on this food I have found that my dogs have done very well and they really do seem to enjoy the taste, which is the bottom line, because if they don't like it, the nutritional valu is essentially useless. the natural oils in the fish as well as added sunflower oil is amazing for their skin and coat. I dont think there was a need for added natural flavourings, as i feel that takes away from the overall quality of the food, but with the added microbials after sufficient cooling, it's great for their digestive tract. The biggest bummer is that these guys are owned by proctor and gamble now, who also own Iams and Eukanuba. Brutal.

Comments about EVO Herring & Salmon Formula Adult Dry Dog Food:
I've bought this food as a supplement for my dogs for years and they love it. My small dogs are finicky eaters and they love this food! It's also good for any size dog's coats, especially in the winter.
My only concern is I'm expecting a formula change as they were bought out by proctor and gamble and I expect the quality of the ingredients to go down. I will miss buying this food then.

100Base-T (IEEE 802.3u) Fast Ethernet
A networking standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps (100 megabits per second). 100BASE-T is based on the older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often referred to as Fast Ethernet. Officially, the 100BASE-T standard is IEEE 802.3u.
Like Ethernet, 100BASE-T is based on the CSMA/CDLAN access method. There are several different cabling schemes that can be used with 100BASE-T, including:

Four Local Girl Scouts Earn Girl Scouts Highest Honor, the Gold Award
Local Girl Scouts Kari C., Amanda M., Ciara M. and Brittany V. worked within the Cy-Fair community to complete all the requirements to earn the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve, the Gold Award.
It is a significant honor to earn the Gold Award. Girl Scouts who earn this award have demonstrated leadership skills, career planning, community involvement, and personal development. It takes two to three years of intensive work to complete all the requirements for the award. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition. A major component of earning the Gold Award is planning and completing a Gold Award Project that is a service to the community.
Teenage years can be difficult. It can be an awkward time filled with acne and the pressure to look like the models in popular magazines. Kari recognized this and responded with an interactive fitness camp for teenage girls at the Clay Road Baptist Church. "I wanted to show teenage girls, like myself, that they are each beautiful in their own way," said Kari.
Kari, a junior at Fairbanks High School, enlisted the help of more than 20 volunteers to create 30 interactive stations that informed young girls about topics such as eating disorders and staying active. Participants left with a better understanding of themselves. "Being a teenage girl can be so confusing," said Kari. "I wanted the girls to know they were not alone."
Amanda utilized her experience in the Jersey Village High School marching band to teach children about musical instruments. She organized a one-day band camp that taught children at the Christian School of Northwest Houston the basics of musical instruments and how they work together to form a melody. "I wanted to give the students a chance to learn and develop an interest about these instruments early on," said Amanda.
Amanda is a recent graduate of Jersey Village High School. She recruited more than 30 volunteers who spent four months helping plan the event. The camp closed with a performance from the Jersey Village High School marching band. "I'm sure that this camp sparked an interest in some of these young student's minds," said Amanda.
Ciara partnered with Texas Children's Hospital to provide homemade blankets to a number of children with illnesses, while at the same time increasing public awareness. "I've previously worked with Project Linus, a volunteer non-profit organization that provides love and warmth through handmade blankets, and the concept of creating blankets for Texas Children's Hospital appealed to me," said Ciara.
Ciara is a senior at Jersey Village High School. With the help of more than 100 volunteers, she donated 150 of these blankets to the hospital. She visited different community groups and educated them on what illnesses children were facing and how comforting a homemade gift could be. "Children are tactile in nature," said Ciara. "So the touch and feel of something soft can be comforting."
More than 35 million mothers in the United States are single, according the US Census Bureau. Brittany focused her energy on one single mother in the Cy-Falls community. She organized and cleaned the woman's house to help relieve the asthma of her two sons. "Not all families in my community are as fortunate as me," said Brittany. "I wanted to improve the lives and health of one of those families."
Brittany is a senior at Cypress Falls High School. She and her 13 volunteers spent every weekend for a month improving this family's home. They created a healthier environment for the boys. "It can be difficult for single mothers to play as many roles as they do," said Ciara. "My volunteers and I wanted to make it a little easier."
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.5 million girls and adults. Today, as when founded in 1912, GSUSA helps cultivate values, social conscience, and self-esteem in young girls, while also teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 64,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 25 southeast Texas counties.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Update, 4:15 pm: Conflicting media reports Tuesday afternoon caused a flurry of Internet conversations as to whether photographing a ballot in New York State is illegal, as it is in other states.
When reached by phone, Deputy Director of Public Information for the Board of Elections Tom Connolly told Patch that at this time the board's lawyers have deemed "there is nothing in the law that prohibits you from photographing your ballot."
Connolly stated that while sharing the contents of your ballot with another individual is illegal, sharing an image of a ballot is not—because that ballot may be altered after the photograph is taken.
"Just because there is a photo of your ballot or a portion of your ballot online doesn't mean it is the ballot you cast," he said. "You could crumple it up and cast a new one instead afterward."
Tweet away, readers.
As pictures of long lines, "I VOTED" stickers and thumbs up pervade the Internet on Election Day in Brooklyn, there is one image voters should not be sharing over social media—photos of completed ballots.
According to NY State law 17-130, it's illegal for anyone to show "his ballot after it is prepared for voting, to any person so as to reveal the contents."
That includes "by photographing or filming one's own vote at the time of voting and afterwards displaying the image on a publicly accessible platform like the Internet" as cited on CitimediaLaw.org.
So feel free to shoot us your pics outside the poll center and enjoying your post-vote coffee, just not of anything concerning your private ballots.

I've Been Surprized To Find Hunting in India
You'd imagine with the enormous population in India that wild game was very scarce and that hunting was something that wasn't pursued in India. After all who can imagine the Indians hunting game? You'd imagine that the country was so crowded there would be nowhere for game animals to live.
However it does seem that the sport of hunting is alive and well in India. Although it is much less common than it was because most game animals are now protected in India.
However there are many game animals there, including Rhinoceros, Asian elephants, lions, tigers, bears including black bears and brown bears as well as a number of other animals which we would normally consider as game animals. And of course hunting was extremely popular in the past and in particular during the days of the Raj.
(For those not familiar with the Raj, this was the period of time during which the British ruled the Indian subcontinent. This commenced in the year 1858 and carried through for almost 90 years, ending in 1947.)
In fact it's said that some of the largest leopards ever shot were shot in India. And of course the Indian elephant was considered to be fair game for a long time.
And many of the game animals in India were hunted from many years.
Now, however, all animals except the Blue Bull, which is a large antelope type animal, and wild boar are protected by law. Although now it is also possible, only with a permit, to hunt rogue elephants and man eating tigers.
I have recently been fortunate to go on a hunting trip with an Indian friend who has been a sports shooter for many years. He is restricted to hunting wild boar but loves to hunt these animals. They obviously also provide food for many of the people in his village.
We had a wonderful day hunting and I was extremely surprised to see his skill, after shooting a ball, at whipping out his hunting knife, sharpening it deftly and butchering the boar within fifteen or twenty minutes ready to be eaten by the residents of the village.
Of course good quality protein is in short supply in India and anyone who can supply large quantities of meat to a small Indian village is a huge friend to the village. This man is able to supply regular quantities of wild boar to the village and this is one of the major reasons why the people in this village, including the children, are in better health than many others in the surrounding areas.
It's probably fair to say that as the number of people increase in India and as the number of wild animals decreases hunting will gradually disappear. However today I was fortunate to see game hunting alive and well in India.
Of course as a keen hunter when I am back home in the US this came as a huge shock to me, but it was so much fun to get back out and get involved in the days hunting again that I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

You Can Work From Home In India, There's Opportunities Everywhere
Are you looking for a great opportunity for work in India? There's plenty of opportunities available in India right now. The reality of the Internet is offering an ever increasing range of work opportunities for Indians. You can work from home, in India, and yet you can undertake work for anyone anywhere in the world.
The Internet has been a huge plus for Indians. There's a whole range of reasons why so many Indians are now earning considerable amounts of money, often, working from home on the Internet.
Many Indians have extremely good qualifications in IT. Indian universities train thousands of graduates every year in all sorts of computer technology and computer skills, and any Indian graduate with IT qualifications and an Internet connection can work from home offering his or her IT skills to anyone in the world.
And this is exactly what happens. There are thousands of Indians undertaking work on behalf of Western companies despite the fact that they may live in India and the company may well be resident in the US, UK or Australia.
It doesn't take a lot of resources to work from home. Obviously you need a good Internet connection, this is crucial. However apart from a good Internet connection you will need an adequate computer and not a whole lot else.
There's other reasons why Indians can be very successful working from home. Many Indians speak English just as well as English speakers from the UK, US, Canada or Australia. And many Indians have considerable writing skills.
However the cost of living in India is dramatically cheaper than in countries like the US, UK or Canada and so Indian writers are able to compete very effectively online for freelance writing work and are able to work profitably at rates that would be unprofitable for people who were working and living in the US, UK or Canada.
That gives Indians a huge advantage and allows many of us to work from home undertaking work such as freelance writing (find out more at http://www.aussieinvestigator.com/double-earnings-as-a-freelance-writer/).
The Internet is an extraordinary invention. It connects every single person who is online with every other single person who is online. You can work from the top of about or the bottom of a valley. You can work at sea, in a plane or on a beach. You can work anywhere in the world provided you can get an Internet connection, and if you have a satellite connection that's just about anywhere.
More and more Indians are working from home online every year and I expect this trend to continue to increase. We are extremely well placed to compete on an international stage with anyone else in the world because of our high levels of education and English, and our relatively low standard of living.
So if you've been looking for a great opportunity in India why not consider working from home online. The numbers of opportunities are increasing fast and it's a great way to earn a living.
The opportunity is unfolding fast right now, so grab it with both hands and make it yours.
Malaria Has Become a Household Name
Monsoon brings in cooler temperatures and much-needed rains across the country. It also increases the risk of malaria and other vector-borne illnesses. In fact, malaria and dengue have become household names in New Delhi and other part of the country such as Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal. People rush to pathology labs every time they get mild fever and chills. The use of mosquito repellents and vector nets has also grown exponentially.
Apart from designated water bodies, rain water also accumulates in small puddles and ponds across cities, towns and villages. The stagnant water offers a breeding ground to nine varieties of Anopheles mosquitos found in the country. These mosquitoes carry two major strains of the malarial parasite – Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. The infection spreads when mosquitoes bite a healthy individual after biting an infected individual.
Malaria infects close to 2 million people each year. It also leads to at least 1,000 deaths annually. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that India contributes to 77 percent of all malaria cases in Southeast Asia. Almost 95 percent of the population lives in high-risk areas.
Many people are resistant to the strains in their area. Severity of malaria symptoms will depend on a variety of factors including your age, level of immunity, and the type of parasite. The condition manifests in form of high fever, chills, headache, sweats, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Some patients may also suffer from dry cough, muscle ache, back pain, and enlarged spleen. Very rarely, the infection may progress to your brain and spinal cord and lead to unconsciousness and death.
The incubation period, or the amount of time between beginning of infection and appearance of symptoms, can range from 9 to 40 days, depending on the Plasmodium Sp.
WHO recommends physicians to start malaria treatment within 24 hours of appearance of symptoms. Individuals with mild to moderate symptoms can be treated in outpatient settings with medications such as artemether-lumefantrine, atovaquone-proguanil, chloroquine and clindamycin. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can help treat most people with malaria. Unwanted complications can, however, lead to permanent disability or death.
Both state and central government authorities have taken steps to curb the spread of malaria across the nation as part of the National Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme. Authorities are relying on Rapid Diagnostic Kits (RDK) for early and accurate detection of both kinds of Malaria strains. Doctors are prescribing a combination of drugs, instead of mono-therapy, to treat the cases quickly and effectively.
Many local municipalities are also part of this integrated vector-control approach. They are conducting regular anti-larval operations by spraying bio-larvicides. Some municipalities are also releasing gambusia fish to kill mosquito larvae in stagnant water bodies. This has led to almost 25 percent decrease in malaria cases in some areas.
The central government is also analysing various research studies before introducing the anti-malarial vaccine this year. Apart from finding the right vaccine, the government should also plan the release carefully to meet the high demand. Cost is another big factor. The vaccination program will succeed only if it reaches the tribal populations in backward areas that report highest malaria-related mortality rates.
Malaria impacts millions of families each year. Increased vector-control awareness is the key. Implementation of anti-malaria programmes should not be limited to government agencies. Every citizen should contribute to the campaign and take proactive measures to eradicate the parasite.
