Outstanding depth has made Effingham boys basketball practices competitive this season, to say the least.
"In practices, that quote-unquote first group that starts, if they don't get after it, I'll tell you what - they get beat," said EHS coach Ron Reed, whose team goes 11 deep.
"We really don't have a second five," Reed added. "We have a lot of starters on this team."
The Hearts' proved the latter statement on Friday at Salem, as 10 EHS players registered in the scoring column in a dominating 71-44 Apollo Conference win.
Effingham starters Hunter Keith, Leighton Lark, Josh Stombaugh, Jake Stombaugh and Clark Williamson got things going, responding to an early 5-0 deficit with a 19-4 run that had the Hearts up 10 points at the end of the opening quarter. Reed then installed Keenan Mahaffey, Alex Carie, Marcus Robinson, Tim Gardewine and Trenton Frey off the bench, and those reserves proceeded to extend EHS's lead to 16 points before most of the starters came back in late in the second quarter.
Eleven Hearts wound up playing in an impressive first half that had the visiting team up 39-17 at intermission, and Effingham (10-4, 5-0 Apollo) extended its lead to as many as 31 in the second half, remaining undefeated in conference play with an impressive win.
The Hearts excelled in every facet of the game, shooting 65 percent from the field overall, 55 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the foul line. They also frustrated the Wildcats (2-11, 2-3) with their full-court press and pressure man-to-man defense, forcing 21 turnovers.
"I thought the kids really played well tonight," Reed said. "They came out with a lot of energy. We kind of got off to a little of a slow start, but we came back and really had a fine first half."

Lawmakers in Helena are considering whether to instate a state-wide regulation that would prohibit the use of cell phones while driving without the use of hands-free devices. Senator Christine Kaufman (D-Helena) has submitted Senate Bill 390, which would also prohibit texting during a stop at a stop sign or stoplight.
Kaufmann says the regulations would help keep safety as a standard around Montana. The bill calls for a $50 ticket for first-time offenders, $100 tickets for second-time offenders, and $200 tickets for third-time violators.
Opponents of the measure spoke with NBC Montana off-camera, saying that the government should be taking a back-seat in the issue, and that some calls are simply too important to ignore.
Supporters say it's not much to ask to have someone use a hands-free device if it helps to keep Montana roads safe.
On Tuesday, the Senate Highways and Transportation Committee didn't take any actions on the bill, but NBC Montana will continue tracking it through the legislature.

As we prepare to celebrate the 235th anniversary of our independence, I ask you to pause for a moment and reflect on the true meaning of this historic day. At the heart of a free and independent republic are values and ideals worth defending. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence staked their lives, fortune, and sacred honor to the cause of freedom.
Throughout our history, our Nation has fulfilled the Founding Fathers' goal of independence because our citizens have answered the call to serve something greater than themselves. Today, we have troops in harms way around the globe, working to ensure we on the home front are protected. Their families share in that sacrifice and we honor their commitment to our freedom. I ask that you keep them, our Wounded Warriors, and all our service members in your thoughts through this Independence Day weekend.

Get a call a couple hours later from the pharmacy on that street. Someone found my wallet on the sidewalk, gave it to the lady at the pharmacy, and they found my number in it and gave me a call. There was no cash in it, but I'm not too worried about that.
Nice to know there are actually decent people still around somewhere. Could very easily have never seen that again and have to replace all my cards.

VISTA, Calif. (AP) - A 68-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to killing his wife after police found her severed head and her body parts cooking at their home in Southern California.
Police say they responded to neighbors' complaints about a foul odor coming from the couple's home in Oceanside on Friday. An officer who entered the home through a window said he saw on the stove three pans containing parts of 73-year-old Anna Faris.
Her head was in the freezer.
Deputy District Attorney Katherine Flaherty says there is no evidence of cannibalism at this time.
U-T San Diego reports that Frederick Hengl entered his plea Wednesday. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of all charges.
He remains jailed on $5 million bail.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
METAIRIE, La. – Open up the NFL's record and fact book, flip to page 554 and spot the leader for most touchdowns in a career on punt returns and you find Devin Hester's name there, tied for first with 10 since entering the league in 2006.
One of those returns came against New Orleans, a 64-yard punt return in 2007 in a 33-25 Bears win over the Saints.
Four years later, the Saints (0-1) hope they can contain not just the Bears (1-0), but Hester. New Orleans hosts Chicago on Sunday (noon)
"He's a combination of speed and power," Saints special teams ace Korey Hall said. "He does a great job. He's a very productive guy, and I think he's somebody we have to try to manage, whether that's punting so our gunners can make a play, or punting out of bounds, or trying to get the ball outside the numbers."
Hall might know best that Hester hasn't lost a step.
He spent four years in Green Bay, playing in the same division as the Bears. In September, Hester had a 62-yard punt return against Hall's Packers.
But the Saints have to be careful not to focus solely on Hetser's special teams prowess.
He's turning into a go-to receiver for Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Hester caught three passes for 60 yards against Atlanta in Week 1, his longest a 53-yarder. He was targeted a total of five times, the second-most on the team behind running back Matt Forte.
"His speed is noticeable when you watch the tapes and I think clearly you have to have an idea of where 23 is offensively," Saints coach Sean Payton said.
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said Hester's ability stands out in the Bears' screen game.
In the third quarter of Chicago's game Sunday, Hester caught a screen pass from Cutler and escaped Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, going eventually for 53 yards.
Williams said the Saints' coaches impress upon the players that stopping a screen play from having success relies on more than just one player.
"When you don't see teams that pursue really strong and fast to screens, that's when you get the big plays," Williams sad. "When there's one or two guys out there in the open field, that's when a Devin Hester or a (Matt) Forte can make you miss those positions."

Item: A Database Design for Storage and Retrieval of Snow Profiles on a PC
Title: A Database Design for Storage and Retrieval of Snow Profiles on a PC
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1994 International Snow Science Workshop, Snowbird, Utah, USA
- Peter Weir [ Research Officer, Snow Avalanche Programs, British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways, 940 Blanshard St., Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3E6 ]
Date: 1994
Abstract: An application for plotting snow profiles has been designed for the Windows Personal Computer operating environment. A Graphical User Interface allows the IASH / ICSI symbols to be presented in pick lists with accompanying textual descriptions. A mouse or similar pointing device is used to make selections wherever possible. Provided that density measurements are made, the application automatically computes the equivalent water content of each layer and of the entire snowpack. A weighted average snowpack density is also computed. The application uses the graphical area on the left of the profile, traditionally reserved for plotting Ramsonde hardness, to display a plot of the results of a hand hardness analysis and / or a cumulative plot of slope parallel shear stress (a function of slope angle, layer thickness and density). The application supports a display-only mode, a fixed corporate format and a mode that supports Dynamic Data Exchange. In its simplest form the application stores data from a single snow profile iIi acomma delimited ASCn file. This approach suits small sites and facilitates the transfer and digital exchange of snow profile information. A database has been designed to accompany the application so that a variety of other PC based tools, including a Rule Based Expert System used for snow profile interpretation, can share its data. A logical data model is presented for use in the design of a relational database. Entity relationship diagrams are explained. In a larger corporate application, as exists in the BC Ministry of Transportation and Highways, a database approach is warranted to facilitate the storage and retrieval of the large number of snow profiles collected each season. Queries can be run to identify and display snow proftles from a given date range, area or region, and / or proftles which satisfy any given set of snowpack conditions.

Scottsboro Librettist David Thompson Working on New Musicals With Stew, Scott Ellis
By Robert Simonson
David Thompson, the librettist for the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, The Scottsboro Boys, is currently developing new musical projects with composer Stew and director Scott Ellis.
Thompson is also collaborating with director Scott Ellis (Curtains, The Little Dog Laughed) on a musical based on "Little Miss Marker," a 1934 film which starred Shirley Temple as a little girl who is left by her gambling father with a group of gangsters as a "marker." When the father dies, the hoodlums are stuck with the kid, and grow fond of her.
The show will employ the catalogue of composer Harold Arlen for its score. "If you're going to do a story set in the 1930s, you might as well use music from the 1930s," said Thompson.

@blueshadow216: thanks for your comment!

That's okay :) every time I listen to D minor, I feel more sorry for her than scared at her vengefulness. Maybe I'll try figuring out her key characteristics myself...

Gotcha !!!!!
They bring in Mali!! She came right to me - no tears (well not from her anyway). Pictured are two Nannies (black jackets) & our guide Connie (pink shirt). Mali was dressed in all pink - all 3 layers.
Very serious, not sure what she's pointing at . . . Cheerios!! We had to keep em coming or she grunted and lunged at the bag =)
Mali, myself & two of her Bao'an nannies/staff members. The woman on the left spoke very good English & was quick to make sure I knew what things to be attentive to (like the baby's temperature). I then removed her jacket as she was dripping sweat. More Cheerios. Big belly!
We made it back to the hotel & Mali was exhausted. She fought sleep the whole way home. We kept her awake long enough for Dr. Jerry to visit & check her over. She got an A+! She weighs 22 lbs, and has a slight cough. She really only cried when we took her clothes off & Dr Jerry was poking around. She totally was not in the mood for the exam. She wouldn't take her bottle at all, but he said that's all good for today. While she was crying, she vomited several times. My superhero reflexes caught the first load in one of her stacking cups. After that, it wasn't so easy. There was puke on Grammy's bed, in Mali's bed and all over me. Most of it was loads of green snot (sorry!), the rest was oranges (she must've eaten them on the way over b/c we didn't give em to her). I suppose it was just a combination of her being so tired & having such a long, emotional day. Mali's sleeping now, very soundly in her crib. She has a cute way of kicking her leg up into the air when she sleeps. Grammie just reminded me that her personality report from the orphanage said she enjoys 'kicking her crab.' Now I get it . . .they must've meant 'crib.'
This is it for today - gotta go shower. I'm exhausted, sticky (well a little crusty now), and I probably stink . . . but it feels wonderful =)Crashed out. ** GOTCHA pics taken by our wonderful group pediatrician - Dr. Jerry from Alaska!! ** (Thanks Uncle Jerry!!)

Pretty much every kid in the world goes through a "dinosaur phase," when he or she eats, sleeps and breathes dinosaurs. Sometimes this happens as young as two or three, and a precocious tot pronounces the word "tyrannosaurus" before he can wrap his mouth around "please" or "thank you." Usually it occurs around the age of six or seven, when kids are just starting to come to grips with scientific concepts and can extrapolate the behavior of dinosaurs from the wildlife they see at the zoo. Occasionally, a particularly bright child will carry on his love of dinosaurs through adolescence and adulthood; some of these lucky individuals go on to be biologists and paleontologists. But why, exactly, do kids love dinosaurs so much?
Reason No. 1: Dinosaurs Are Big, Scary – and Extinct
The most likely explanation for why kids love dinosaurs is that these huge, dangerous reptiles went extinct over 65 million years ago (though that might as well be 65 years from the perspective of your average pre-schooler). The fact is, most kids don't worship at the altar of lions, tigers or timber wolves, probably because these fierce carnivores can easily be seen (either at the zoo or on TV) stalking their prey and ripping into freshly killed antelopes. Children have vivid imaginations, meaning it's a short step from witnessing a hyena demolishing a wildebeest to picturing themselves on the lunch menu.
That's why dinosaurs have such enormous appeal: the average grade-schooler may have only a vague idea when dinosaurs went extinct, but he knows, for a fact, that they're no longer around. A Tyrannosaurus Rex, no matter how huge and hungry, is thus rendered completely safe, since there's no chance of accidentally running into one during a nature excursion or at summer camp. This is likely the same reason that some kids are obsessed by zombies and vampires; they know, deep down, that these mythical creatures don't really exist, despite the protestations of some misguided adults.
Reason No. 2: Dinosaurs Get to Do What They Want
Remember those old Calvin & Hobbes comic strips in which Calvin pretends to be a big, lurching dinosaur? That, in a Jurassic nutshell, is the second reason kids love dinosaurs: no one tells a full-grown Apatosaurus that he has to go to bed, finish his peas before he can have dessert, or take care of his baby sister. Dinosaurs represent, in kids' minds, the ultimate id principle: when they want something, they go out and get it, and nothing had better stand in their way.
This, no surprise, is the side of dinosaurs most often portrayed in children's books. The reason parents don't mind when their kid pretends to be a fierce Allosaurus is that this kind of "disobedience" allows him to harmlessly blow off steam; it's better to deal with a pesky, hyperactive dinosaur than an entirely human kid having an ugly tantrum. Books like Dinosaur vs. Bedtime exploit this dynamic perfectly; by the last page, the dress-up dinosaur has finally settled down for a night's sleep, after winning a series of dramatic battles against a playground slide, a bowl of spaghetti, and talking grown-ups.
Reason No. 3: Dinosaurs Leave Really Cool Skeletons
Believe it or not, until 20 years ago, most kids learned about dinosaurs from mounted skeletons in museums, and not computer-animated documentaries on The Discovery Channel or the BBC. Because they're so big and so unfamiliar, dinosaur skeletons are somehow less creepy than the skeletons left by modern wolves or big cats (or human beings, for that matter). In fact, many kids prefer their dinosaurs in skeleton form--especially when they're putting together scale-sized models of a Stegosaurus or Brachiosaurus!
Finally, and most important, dinosaurs are really, really cool. If you don't get that, then you probably shouldn't be reading this article in the first place. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable learning about birding or potted plants!

the Rams. If Al plans on firing Kiffin, I hope he doesn't do the same stupid shit and wait until noone acceptable is available.
Saunders, who signed a three-year contract, will call the plays next season, team spokesman Rick Smith said.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to announce that Al Saunders is our new offensive coordinator," coach Scott Linehan said. "The process took time. We needed to be patient."
The Rams began negotiating with Saunders, who had a year to go on his contract with the Redskins, soon after he was fired.

Tre Boston
Height: 6-0. Weight: 204 pounds.
Position: Safety.
College: North Carolina.
What he offers: Despite his smallish size, Boston led the Tar Heels with 85 tackles and four interceptions last season. Boston is a good tackler, finishing with a season-high 15 stops against Duke. But he lacks instincts in coverage and was beaten repeatedly at UNC.
Why he fits: The Panthers already had five safeties on the roster, although Charles Godfrey is coming back from Achilles surgery and Colin Jones is a special teams player. Boston gives the Panthers a young safety to pair with veterans Thomas DeCoud and Roman Harper, who signed as free agents. Boston can play both safety spots, and might get a look at nickel corner.

Watch out, Danville residents! The Planning Commissioners are considering changing existing laws governing second residential units so that you will lose your ability to challenge ones proposed for the lots next to yours! Setback requirements may lessen as well so that you will have the units very close to your property line, losing your privacy. Also, the owner may not be required to live in one of the units (either the primary or secondary) anymore, so that you may end up having 2 separate rental units next to yours, with attendant traffic and noise, and possible lessening of upkeep of the property. Go to the meeting and make your concerns heard!

A surprisingly nice line, with sustained climbing and exposure similar to the more well-known Comfortably Numb. The name implies loose rock, but I only found one unstable block just above the ledge.
Shares start with Pin Chimney. The easiest descent option is to top out and walk across the top to the anchors for Standard Route and rap from there.
Mostly small to medium gear; some opportunities for slinging horns. Bolted anchors on top of the pinnacle.

This, many other nations have taught; but India for thousands of years peacefully existed.

We, of all nations of the world, have never been a conquering race, and that blessing is on our head, and therefore we live….!"

A new poll shows not only do most Americans think the upcoming Affordable Care Act is confusing, but many women just do not understand how it will impact their families.
It's something even the President will admit.
"There's been a lot of things said, a lot of misinformation, a lot of confusion," President Obama said in a Thursday event.
A Lippe Taylor/SheSpeaks study now out shows half of women think the law is confusing, with only 22% believing it will help their families.
"I think that's it's confusing for everybody, men and women," said Tyler insurance agent Kimberly Braly. "This is the bill that they said lets pass it and decide what's in it, we're still trying to decide what's in it.
One point of confusion is when the new law starts. Enrollment in the new federal healthcare exchanges begins on October 1st. All Americans must have coverage for themselves and their families or instead pay a fine beginning January 1, 2014.
"We've been hearing about this since 2010 or even before that," Braly said. "I think people have kind of turned a deaf ear to part of it. People have been saying 'I'll worry about that later,' and now it's here and people maybe aren't realizing it."
58% of women believe their health insurance costs will rise, and another 47% believe it will cause their taxes to go up. 31% are also concerned they may not be able to see their current doctor.
"Estimates from carriers based on January 1, 2014 are all over the map," Braly said. "Sometimes it's 40-50% higher than what people are paying now, and some a little cheaper."
But a majority of uninsured women—59%--said they have no plans to purchase insurance through the new program.
"Some people don't want to pay anything for insurance, and it does come at a cost," Braly said. "You either have that in a premium or you have it when you go to the doctor and you're going to pay full price. Healthcare is not free."
Plans and rates will be available beginning October 1st. You can find more information on options under the Affordable Care Act here.

NY Times Issues Hostile Profile of Conservative Fla. Gov. Rick Scott, 'Political Novice' With 'Go-It-Alone Style'
Florida's new Republican Gov. Rick Scott is moving to cut state bureaucracy, reduce regulation and make the state a more business-friendly environment, and is meeting resistance among the old political guard in Florida. But instead of hailing the governor's fresh blood and independence (as it had done previously with liberal Republican Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida), the New York Times does its best to paint him as an ideologue in over his head.
From Lizette Alvarez and Gary Fineout's Tuesday report from Tallahassee, "Florida Republicans at Odds With Their New Executive."
Rick Scott, the conservative Republican billionaire who plucked the governor's job from the party establishment in November with $73 million of his own money and the backing of the Tea Party, vowed during his campaign to run the troubled state like a corporate chief executive (which he was) and not a politician (which he proudly says he is not).
And now it has become a problem, some of his fellow Republicans say.
Republican lawmakers in Florida were hoping for a smoother transition. Instead, they say, they got top-down management from a political novice.
The Times listed ways in which the governor had "irritated" or "annoyed" powerful state senators as well as "a host of leaders in conservative states." His rejection of federal stimulus money for high-speed rail "prompted new bouts of discord" even from "a staunch conservative Republican from central Florida."
So what do the taxpayers think about his rejection of a project most conservative Republicans find wasteful, especially in a time of budget strain? The Times doesn't say. But Scott seems pretty popular among people who voted for him, which should be the only ones who count, not other politicians, although the Times managed to spin that into a negative:
Mr. Scott's go-it-alone style of governing was on display vividly last month when he chose to unveil his two-year budget 200 miles from Tallahassee, in the rural town of Eustis, at a rally jammed with Tea Party supporters. Mr. Scott, who wants to promote business in the state and drastically reduce the government's reach, proposes slashing $4.1 billion in spending and cutting property and corporate income taxes.
Lawmakers, though, are decidedly less optimistic about Mr. Scott's budget plan, and even less enthusiastic about his uncongenial approach to Tallahassee. From the start, the relationship between powerful state Republicans and Mr. Scott was strained.
In contrast, liberal Republican Gov. Charlie Crist (who ran and lost in a race for the U.S. Senate in Florida as an independent in 2010 after losing the Republican primary to Marco Rubio) also became quite unpopular among GOP politicians. But in Crist's case the Times portrayed his unpopularity among his party as a virtue, not a vice, three times calling him a "pariah," and a "pragmatist" battling "ideological purists."

Okay, NYT, time to name names. Because I live in Florida, and follow local politics, and this is the first I've heard of it.
So, which powerful Florida state senators, and which "leaders" in which "states"? Because the only "powerful leaders" he's managed to irritate or annoy (much to my pleasure and applause) have been Barry Obama and Bill Nelson, both democrats....over the stinking corpse called a bullet train.
Tell you what, NYT....stay in New Yawk. We don't want nor need your kind here. It's bad enough we have your tax-sheltering refugees here, voting, so we seriously don't need you to tell us what's happening through your liberal shill filter. IOW.... bugger off, feckless shills!

used to go catch about one a week for the smoker - smoked mullet dip went over big where I lived at the time.

Submitted by Blonde on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 1:36pm.
There are those who eat mullet...there's even a Mullet Festival (wonder if it's federally funded, Harry Reid?) on the west coast.
IIRC, they barbeque it, smoke it....I tried it once eons ago and wasn't terribly impressed.
As for wrapping the mullet....newspaper is the way to go. I don't "fish" for them, I cast net them. They make incredibly wondeful marlin baits, and downrigger baits for the big kingfish/wahoo. They are kind of a PITA, you have to de-spine them, and then sew their soft bellies. But if rigged correctly, they swim beautifully, and will last a long time. The newspaper comes in when you catch them. You wrap them in newspaper with some kosher salt and put them in the fridge for a day or so before you either rig them, or bag them for freezing. A "good" rigged mullet cost about $4 - $5, and that was ten years ago. Also, there are little "fingerling" mullet that sometimes run, and these make fabulous rigged trolling bait as well, for dolphin (mahi if you're a tourist), without the fuss and muss of the deboning and sewing.

Depends on how you treat it, bass
Submitted by Blonde on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 2:02pm.
There are plenty of "baitfish" that are perfectly delicous if you treat them properly.
For example, the oceanic bonito. That's from our trip to Mexico. Personally, I'd have slit the little sucker's throat, bled it, gutted it, and packed it with ice, in ice, before I'd eat it.....after sitting on a hot deck for a few hours, it of course tastes like bait. But if treated properly when caught, it is delicious, tastes just like tuna in a salad. As Beuke mentioned, smoked mullet dip sounds delicious, an oily fish is needed to smoke properly. I may just join him up yonder for the mullet festival.

Submitted by Beukeboom on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 1:09pm.Blonde, I live in Tallahassee and I've not heard about this either. The local morning radio talk show hasn't mentioned this specific issue and they follow state politics quite closely. The closest thing that may fit the perceived scenario are a few Republican congresscritters who are a tad upset that Scott turned down the Fed's money for a high-speed rail system that just happened to be in those Congresscritters' districts. One Republican congresscritter, Thad Altman of Melbourne has joined Democrat Arthenia Joyner of Tampa and filed a lawsuit to try to force Scott to accept the $3 billion project. Scott's reasons for turning the money down are all sound ones. However if the NYT is attacking you on political grounds, you must be doing something right.

J.D. Alexander's remarks about Scott's budget proposals weren't especially cordial either. They are both Republicans.
edit. Clarification: Alexander is Budget chief and his problem with the Governor stemmed from the sale of a couple of airplanes without consulting the legislature.

What a joke
Submitted by Missouri Conservative on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 11:14am.It's worth noting that the only Republican who really criticized Scott in any meaningful way was State Sen Mike Fasano. Fasano is a dead-ender RINO Republican who was one of Charlie Crist's sycophants and staunch supporters. He didn't support Scott or Rubio, now or ever. The rest of the article is pure inuendo. The comments by other Republicans can be read either way. She also makes it sound as if asking state workers to contribute 5% to their pension is some kind of radical move. Is she f**king kidding? These state workers never had to contribute a dime for their retirement or healthcare. Now they're being asked to contribute a small portion (less than the private sector), and that's a big deal?? She also says that it "angers" public workers that he is proposing switching new hires over to a 401(k) plan. Well boo-f**king-hoo, welcome to the real world. That's what EVERYONE ELSE HAS!

Submitted by Beukeboom on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 1:19pm.Also put Thad Altman, a Republican from Melbourne on that list since he joined Tampa Democrat Arthenia Joyner in filing a lawsuit to try to force Scott to accept the $4 billion for the high speed rail project. I don't know Altman so I can't say if he's a RINO or not but I feel putting his name on that lawsuit might damage his chances for re-election.

In reading the actual article (very good, BTW, factual, but fecklessly biased as hell)...well, no wonder the NYT is all exercised about Governor Scott.
For those of you who aren't Floridan's...let me do a quick interpretation.
1) They're pissed because he sold the two executive jets, a la Palin. TS, ya'll. Now you'll have to take the awful flights to the capital, Tallahassee, which has no business being the state capital when the majority of the population lives in the bottom half of the state!
2) The old guard Republicans, who supported Bill McCollum for governor (another career pol, a good guy, but about as good looking and charismatic as Steve Forbes, alas)...are the one's who are offended. Good! You're on next, if you don't change your ways. We'll primary you bastards next time.
3) The bullet train. Again. The only people who want this albatross are those who stand to gain financially from it. I've yet to meet one Floridian w/o a financial interest who cares. We like to drive, and trust me when I tell you...the roads are long and straight and 85 mph is doable to Orlando. We don't need the trains, no one will ride it...it's a pipe dream, so sit down and shut up already.
4) Public Unions. Scott is doing Governer Walker V.2.0. This is going to start next week. Poor little government drones are going to have to kick in!!! Yikes. Demonstrations by feckless shills to follow. Guess I'm going to have to get some new sneakers (or roller skates, a la Brietbart) for the counter-insurgency.
I notice the NYT said he's annoyed "conservative leaders" in the state, without naming them. All I saw was the RINO's and old guard. Again, Good! No...GREAT!
5) Cutting Education by 10%. OMO, he's hit the third rail here. Guess what, with all of the northern flight due to unemployment and the tanked housing market, schools are hugely under capacity right now. Furthermore, my local school board, which takes money from the state, lives in the "Crystal Palace"....google it, Crystal Palace Broward County. These administrators need to be slashed through the bone, too, take away their beautiful waterfront building, sell it to someone who can actually pay for it!
IOW....for true conservatives and the Tea Party supporters who elected Rick Scott, what's not to love? For the RINO's and entrenched Republicans (friends of Charlie) and other feckless shills....of course they're going to be mad and try to destroy him. Good luck with that!

Submitted by Ed Gregory on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 11:20am.In Orlando, where I live, the Sentinel takes shots at Gov. Scott just about every day. And on the paper's message boards, the libs are squealing like stuck pigs, especially over his rejection of money for high-speed rail. They love to talk about recalling him only two months into the job. Whatever happened to "give the guy a chance" like we heard with president zero? I like to remind them that if they don't like it, the state line is just a few hours north. Most of them came from that direction, anyway.

Stuck pigs?
Submitted by Blonde on Thu, 03/10/2011 - 11:26am.
.....didn't you mean "stuck libs"?
I hate the Orlando Sentinel. Anyone who would hire Mike Bianchi deserves to go bankrupt. He's an idiot, as is their editorial board.
Unfortunately, Orlando is populated by a few natives and a zillion transplants, many of them from the socialist northern states. Weren't you guys responsible for Alan Grayson? I mean, not you personally, but your fellow denizens of RatLand? I know, I know, we have the Pelosi lapdog Wasserman-Shultz here in Broward, but we also removed the other Pelosi Puppy, Ron Klein...and now have THE Allen West.
Hang in there, keep after the liberals, and when they whine, tell them "I'll have to charge you $10 extra to listen to you tell me how they do it up north". Cheers, fellow Floridian.

As I said to Rick, above, Florida has the all of the planet's idiots...don't believe it? Read Hiiasen.
As for Allen, everyone wants him. I hope he's going to be the role model for many, many more staunch conservatives to come. I'll share him in another couple of years, although if he wanted to take on Bill Nelson, I wouldn't cry. Although I'm hoping Jeb decides to do that this time around (I'll forgive him for warmly greeting Obama last week, he is a gentleman after all).

You're right about that. There's no shortage of idiotic life down here. It started when every pest under the sun figured it was a good idea to live where it was warm, then the libs picked up on it. Oh, how I'd love to see a debate between West -- or Herman Cain -- and president zero. O: "Let me be clear...I'm getting my a** handed to me."

The Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and University of Minnesota Extension have released the 2014 Minnesota Gardening Calendar. This award- winning calendar is developed for home gardening and landscape enthusiasts across the state. Minnesota Gardening 2014 is the only calendar designed and written exclusively for Minnesota.
This new calendar includes features on native prairie grasses, grasses for attracting pollinators and butterflies, and grasses for slopes and shade. The calendar also includes suggestions for helpful Minnesota gardening resources, maps showing the average frost-free dates for Minnesota, and a USDA plant hardiness zone map.
Ballots were mailed Nov. 4 for the Farm Service Agency Local Administrative Area (LAA) # 1 Election. Ballots must be postmarked or turned in to Stearns
County FSA office by Dec. 2. Townships of Brockway, Collegeville, Fairhaven, LeSauk, Luxemburg, Lynden, Maine Prairie, Rockville, St. Augusta, St. Cloud, St. Joseph, St. Wendel, and Wakefield will elect a new committee person to serve a three-year term. The farmer-elected committee is your voice in USDA's programs for this area. The candidates are:
Landlords, farmers, and agri-business professionals should make plans to attend one of the informative land rental meetings being held across Central and Southern Minnesota. These free meetings are being provided by the University of Minnesota Extension. Farm land rental rates have never been higher and determining a fair and profitable farm rent agreement is a challenge in today's economy with volatile corn and soybean prices and record farm land values.
Negotiating a fair rental agreement that satisfies the land owner and the farmer is not an easy task. David Bau, Extension Educator in Ag Business Management, will discuss several ways to determine a fair farm land rental rate for both parties.
When time seems short and the weather seems uncertain, we're tempted to push a little harder at the harvest. We encourage farmers and other drivers to take their time on the roads and to resist the temptation to take shortcuts.
Anticipate left-hand turns
Approach farm equipment carefully – whether wagons, grain trucks or machinery. Field approaches and farmstead driveways are a clue that they might be making a left-hand turn. Before passing, make an effort to make sure the farm equipment driver knows you are there. Making a move to pass and finding out the farm driver is turning left is a bad deal. Be careful it the farm driver pulls over to the right, if you are not sure they see you. If there is an approach on the left, they might be trying to get more room to make a left hand turn.
he Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is partnering with the University of Minnesota Extension to bring you a captivating Cover Crops Field Day at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, near Roscoe.
Cover crops are a great tool that growers can utilize to protect and enhance their most valuable resource - productive soil. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the benefits and challenges of cover crops.

The ill new records flow continues….
Some of these records will be familiar to you if you read ISM-writer Kenny's reviews column over at the Bodytonic site. It's good to see him becoming more of a house head, but at the same time he may need to quit biting my style
Anyway, this edition of the record round-up is especially gratifying because it features big things from close friends of ISM. As you can see from the top of the post, the man like Disco Nihilist has gone off and started a new label with his boy from Austin, Daetron Vargas. The first release on Construction Paper features 3 collaborative acid tracks that maintain Disco Nihilist's acid sensibilities but with cleaner production. Toss in one deep techno jam done solo style by Daetron to complete the package, and you have yet another promising US label entering the fray. It's good to see the DIY sensibility running strong! Sound samples can be found here, and while the full release is still a little while away, a few white labels are available from our girl in Detroit Who Dat's Ya Digg records! They're exclusive to her shop as of right now, so get that shit here to beat everyone else to the punch.
Continuing their killing spree, our boys Juju & Jordash have dropped their debut vinyl LP on Dekmantel. I've had these tracks for a little while now, and I must give this my fullest reccomendation. Few producers have mastered the combination of jazz and electronics like these guys, and on this album they do it up properly in both dancefloor and downtempo styles. They even included "Deep Blue Meanies" for those who missed out on the first Dekmantel release! Looking through the album's dope artwork, you will see this very site included in the thank yous. And for that, we thank Juju & Jordash! It's been awesome hosting mixes by them, and I have been following their music for years so it gives me great pleasure to see them blowing up internationally as they are now. If we helped out with that even the tiniest bit, we have been doing our job well!
Hopping directly onto the list of Best Tracks of '09 is the A1 cut on the new Balance Alliance 12″. I've loved all three releases on this new label headed by Chez Damier, but it is difficult to tell who actually produced the tracks on the two compilation EPs. On this new one, there is a list of producers on the record, but no other info. The whole record is dope, ranging from deep disco influenced house to 80s boogie sounding jams. But that A1 cut is pure gold, with a great vocal and strings that go on and on. Amazing, timeless soul music.
The newest joint on We Play House is either just out now or about to drop as I have the artwork version sitting here, and it is a scorcher. Dynamodyse is the artist, and all four tracks are sweet melodic deep synthy jams. Red D used the vocal A1 cut "Gare Du Nord" in his recent mix for us, and it is definitely the highlight and another contender for one of the best cuts this year. All the others are above average as well, it's almost criminal to put this many good songs on one record. I have the feeling this one will be in the bag for a long time!
My man James Duncan has relaunched his Le Systeme label after four years with a new 12″ called "Friday Night Sessions". I've been a big fan of James' mostly sample based tracks for years, he makes what I would consider to be deep house music for the heads. His "Times Like These" EP from back in '03 is even a bit of a Pittsburgh deep anthem. This new one is right back on form, with the sweet strings and funky disco samples in effect for full on late-night banging.
My man Andrew Burger is a massive record nerd and jazz fusion head. He tipped me off to this self-titled album from Japanese group 9DW on the Waxpoetics label. Now this is just great music! Sounding a bit like Recloose and Azymuth jamming together, there's plenty of dancefloor material for those inclined to drop jazzy broken beats in their sets as well as lots of slower jams for making out with your significant other. They also have a more straightforward dancefloor release called "Golden Dance Classics" that I am going to have to hunt down.
James Pants is one of those post-hiphop artists currently signed to Stone's Throw who just seems to be getting better and better. I dug his first releases, but the new album "All The Hits" is even better. Taking the mini-tracks approach favored by Madlib and J Dilla, he bangs out a large variety of lo-fi dance beats and downtempo joints that go together very well. While his vocals have been iffy in the past, the new 7″ single (featuring tracks that will apparently be on his even NEWER album coming in December) is THE SHIT. Again on the lo-fi tip, but this time the songs have something of a new wave/electro thing going on that. And the songwriting is good and catchy. Check the A-side out on Youtube:
Joe Claussell checks in with a bananas "Extension and Cosmic Overdub" of a classic track "Flying Teapot" by Gong. This starts out as a funky dance jam, but then gets abstracted out into an almost 2-step-like spacey joint before descending into noise. I'm not really sure how this will be best utilized on the dancefloor, but I promise I will find a way Out-there craziness for those who like it psychedelic.
I'll quickly cover the other records Kenny already got to in his Bodytonic column:
Malik Pittman's Unirhythm Green finally sees the light of day after being on white label way back in '08 at DEMF. I just love how off-kilter but still banging all his shit is, if only he made/released more music he would be able to join the ranks of Theo Parrish and Omar-S. Until then, it's always a treat to get new jams from Malik.
Leron Carson's Red Lightbulb Theory '87-'88 album continues the raw experimental Chicago styles first seen on the 1987 EP on Sound Signature. That EP seemed to me to be one of the least popular old Sound Signature records, but I could never figure out why! I guess now that cats like Traxx and Africans with Mainframes are getting popular putting out stuff like that, it might be time for people to look back on that one. Regardless, this album increases the melody without decreasing the jack. Lovely.
Hunee's Tour De Force EP is the second release on our boy Speculator's W.T. Records. After the great first release featuring dirty-ass house tracks by $tinkworx and Kinoeye, I was not initially sold on this one (from its sound clips) which is much cleaner and "safe" sounding. It turns out I must have been on rocks, as this is a dope 12″ with diversity of house styles. The scat-vocal on "Rare Silk" (which featured on that recent Red D mix here at ISM) is especially dope.
Now on to some other things….
Jason Fine, who had his first release a couple years back on Fxhe, is about to drop a new album on Kontra-Musik. His first album for them was extremely dope REAL minimal techno, and it ended up seeing remixes by A Made Up Sound, Heinrich Mueller, Anton Zap, and Luke Hess. The point being that he doesn't joke around. To celebrate the upcoming album, he did an Ableton mix for the Boing Poum Tchak! blog featuring his own edits of Curtis Mayfield, Earth Wind & Fire, and more along with some of his original tracks. Highly reccomended, even for those vinyl purists!
I recently came across this dope interview with Glenn Underground on the 5Chicago site. He breaks down some of the problems he sees in the modern club scene in the US, and the difficulties encountered with crossing the rave/house border to release on Dust Traxx back in the 90s. You don't usually get stuff like this in an interview, he even reveals how much he gets paid! Really, really great information from a legendary deejay and producer.
Okay, I think that is enough rambling from me for today. We've got more good things lined up here at ISM, starting with the next Lerosa vinyl mix which will be posting in just a short while….

While I don't fancy myself as an expert by any means.......
From a Defensive perspective.
Who we will miss:
Andra Davis and his run stopping skills (not sure why he was released) and Vonnie Holliday for his pass rush
Who needs to improve:
Doom and his play recognition (run stopping)
Ayers and his pass rush
DJ and his pass coverage down the middle
Andre Goodman run coverage
Alphonso Smith pass coverage (hopefully it was a rookie thing)
I have no clue what to expect from Haggan.
DL time for Baker and Thomas to step up.
I am fine with Marshall and Schef being pushed out the door.
To me Daniel Graham needs to step it up. Enough with the holding penalties
WR is going to be interesting to see who starts. Not a big fan of Gaffney, Hopefully he proves me wrong, Also let hope Royal comes back to his rookie numbers. He also needs to return punts.
Thank God Lamont Jordan is gone. Not sure what they ever saw in him.......... He must of had pictures on somebody at Dove Valley.
Our O-line scares me. The only person I have confidence in is Kuper due to all the injuries and lack of experiance
We will be fine without Wiegmann
Moreno & Buckhalter will have a good year if we get the run blocking needed.
I can't wait for training camp to start. Go Broncos

News: Jay-Z's Thorough For His Borough: "Is Brooklyn In The House?"
Friday, Oct 12, 2012 10:42PM
After a minor setback, rap mogul Jay-Z's seemingly overnight Live In Brooklyn EP is finally available and takes diehard fans into his recent publicized Barclays Center concert series.
Rather than provide a few live tracks, Jigga's new EP also features some visual goodies.
If you thought Jay-Z's celebration of Brooklyn ended with his eight-show Barclays run then you don't know Hov. On Thursday, H-O dropped Live in Brooklyn, a specially released digital EP featuring eight live songs and eight video clips from his October 6 show at the newly minted Barclays Center. "Is Brooklyn in the house?" Jay asks on the EP-opening "Empire State of Mind." It's impossible for any live recording to completely duplicate the concert-going experience, but the audio mix on Live In Brooklyn perfectly blends Jay's unassisted vocals with his Roc Boys backing band, his DJ Young Guru and of course the 19,000 fans in attendance. So, when Jay-Z spits his "[If] Jeezy's payin' LeBron" lyric on "Empire," the crowd's "I'm payin' Dwayne Wade" response comes through crisp and clear. (MTV)
Combined, fans can expect songs like "Empire State of Mind" and visuals of "'03 Bonnie & Clyde."
The tracklisting and new cover art has been unveiled and includes some of Hov's biggest hits such as "Empire State of Mind," "Run This Town," and "Give It to Me." Live in Brooklyn Tracklisting: 1. "Empire State of Mind" 2. "Run This Town" 3. "On to the Next One" 4. "Give It to Me/Big Pimpin'" 5. "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" 6. "Crazy in Love" (Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z) 7. "Public Service Announcement" 8. "Young Forever" (feat. Beyoncé) Videos: 9. "Empire State of Mind" 10. "Run This Town" 11. "On to the Next One" 12. "Give It to Me/Big Pimpin'" 13. "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" 14. "Crazy in Love" (Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z) 15. "Public Service Announcement" 16. "Young Forever" (feat. Beyoncé) (Rap-Up)
The unexpected EP finally landed on iTunes Thursday (October 11).
Jay-Z is giving a special gift to his fans who weren't able to make it out to his eight shows at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center. "Live in Brooklyn," an eight-song collection of live cuts, is scheduled to hit iTunes on Thursday (Oct. 11). As of Tuesday, the album's track list had not yet been revealed, although it will include eight songs and eight videos. "Live in Brooklyn" will be Jay-Z's first live album since "Jay-Z: Unplugged," which was released in 2001. (Billboard)
Initial reports claimed the EP would arrive two days prior.
Jay-Z will be releasing an EP of his concert series at the Barclays Center, the rapper announced Saturday afternoon. The album, Live in Brooklyn, will be available through iTunes on Tuesday, October 9th. The "optic EP" will include both audio and visual material recorded at tonight's final concert of Jay-Z's eight-night run at the new Brooklyn stadium. The EP is currently available for pre-order on iTunes. While the track listing on the pre-order site is blank, it indicates that the album will include eight tracks and eight separate videos. (Rolling Stone)

Securing Cyberspace: Applications and Foundations of Cryptography and Computer Security
Workshop IV: Special purpose hardware for cryptography: Attacks and Applications
December 4 - 8, 2006
Schedule and Presentations
Program Poster PDF
Hotel Accommodation and Air Travel
Organizing Committee:
Cetin Koc
(Oregon State University)
Scientific Background
Much of what drives the field of computer security and cryptography is the advent of new technologies in the form of new hardware. This creates both new opportunities and new security challenges. With the rapid development of sensor networks, palm pilots, hand-held GPS and other "gizmos," there is a great need to "miniaturize," not only the devices themselves, but also cryptographic modules installed on such devices. The task is a challenging one, as just reducing key-size or other security properties makes such small devices much easier to attack. In this topic we will explore various ways to "miniaturize" cryptographic primitives, so that they are deployable, both at the sensor and hand-held device level, without sacrificing security and also explore novel attacks on such devices.
This topic will bring together experts working in this area of cryptography and cryptanalysis, as well as the practitioners who need security for these tiny devices.

A Cry in the Night Part 3 Of 3
It is estimated that the costs of the various inquiries and trial exceeded $20 million dollars. Thousands of people gave of their time and money, risking their careers and reputations, to fight against the injustice inflicted upon the Chamberlains.
The cost to the Chamberlains can never be measured. Nothing could compensate them for the loss of their baby daughter, in what could be seen as nothing more than an unfortunate tragedy. They suffered the accusations and infamy of the guilty when, in fact, they were innocent. Lindy was imprisoned for three years and separated from her children and husband. Strangers raised Kahlia for the first three years of her life. Reagan and Aidan were separated from their mother and suffered the tormenting of other children. At such a young age, they experienced the pain of loss and separation, and fear. The demands and pressures of the eight years spent fighting for his wife's freedom and the clearing of their names resulted in Michael being unable to work as a Minister of his religion, his chosen profession, the only one he was qualified to do. The toll on their marriage eventually ended in divorce for Lindy and Michael.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, a large percentage of Australians still believe that Lindy Chamberlain is guilty of murdering her daughter. Most of these people had handed down their verdict when they first heard 'the dingo story' and no amount of evidence to the contrary would ever sway them.
The only mystery still remaining in this case, is not whether Lindy did or did not kill Azaria, but why the Northern Territory government expended so much time, money and police resources in a case of suspected infanticide, even after an inquest had declared that no such case existed. What motivated the police and government officials involved in this case to be so determined to prove the Chamberlains' guilt and the dingoes' innocence? Perhaps, one day we will find out.
