Heard Up North: Washing boats to stop spread of invasive species
Jul 23, 2008 — Invasive species have been a problem in the North Country since the first zebra mussels arrived from the Caspian Sea in Asia. These and many other invasives came up the St Lawrence Seaway in the ballast tanks of ocean going freighters. A recent study found that throughout the Great Lakes region industries from sport fishing to forestry could lose $200 million as invasives crowd out indigenous species. Trans-Atlantic ships coming up the St Lawrence are now required to flush their ballast tanks before entering the Great Lakes. But there are other more local efforts to stop the spread of invasives, even from one Adirondack pond to the next. And one of these efforts is today's Heard Up North. Go to full article

FGCU Moves into Second at Mission Inn Classic
HOWIE-in-the-HILLS, Fla. – Improving by seven strokes on its first round score, the FGCU men's golf team also climbed two spots in the standings at the Mission Inn Classic hosted by St. John's to hold sole possession of second place heading into Sunday's final round.
Led by a one-over 73 from freshman Jack Hernandez (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot HS), the Eagles pieced together a team score of 300 for the second-lowest round of the day. FGCU (307-300/607) is just one stroke back of Loyola-Maryland (606) for first place.
Conditions held the 10-team field to no under-par rounds for the second straight day, as Bethune-Cookman (608) occupies third place, Johnson & Whales (609) sits fourth and host St. John's (613) rounds out the top five.
Hernandez's 73 was the third-best score of the day, as the local Fort Myers product moved up 10 spots on the individual leaderboard into a tie for 11th place. His 73 followed an opening round 79 for a two-day 150.
Seniors Brandon Pena (Clewiston, Fla./Clewiston HS) and Alex Medinis (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS) both sit in the top 10 after the first two rounds. Pena, FGCU's low man the first day, sits in a tie for fourth place with a 75-74/149. Medinis has put together back-to-back 75s to position himself in a tie for sixth overall.
Junior Kyle English (Bloomington, Ill./University HS) supplied the final counting score with his second straight 78. English's back-to-back 78s put him a tie for 17th place, giving the Eagles four players in the top 20.
FGCU will be back on the course for the final round Sunday morning, taking the first tee from 9:05-9:41 a.m. alongside first place Loyola-Maryland and third place Bethune-Cookman.

Aidan Quinn says Sherlock is relatable
Actor Aidan Quinn poses for photo while promoting his new show "Elementary," in Toronto on Wednesday October 24, 2012. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Aaron Vincent Elkaim
TORONTO - Though some fans are dismayed to see reboots and remakes of their favourite franchises and characters, Sherlock Holmes is among those that work well when reinvented, says "Elementary" star Aidan Quinn.
Quinn plays Capt. Tobias Gregson in the series that's set in present-day New York and stars Jonny Lee Miller as an addiction-plagued Holmes and Lucy Liu as his "sober companion," Dr. Joan Watson.
"I think there's ... a tremendous amount of rich detail in the original (Sherlock Holmes) novels that lends itself to many different interpretations," Quinn, 53, said in a recent interview.
"Here you have a Sherlock that's coming out of rehab. Well, Sherlock Holmes in the books was experimenting with cocaine. Cocaine was legal in the 1890s or whatever it was, Victorian England, and he was trying to use it as a tool to sharpen his mind, to help solve crime.
"I'm not beginning to suggest that cocaine does that — but that was the feeling at the time, which was why it was legal. So (this is) a very interesting version that people are loving."
Airing Thursdays on Global and CBS, "Elementary" sees Holmes as a former consultant to Scotland Yard who is now solving crimes alongside Gregson in New York after a stint in rehab there.
The same quirky, astute observer he was in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories, this Holmes is aware of everything going on around him — so much so that he often seems psychic. His social graces are lacking though and he can be frank with victims and rub them the wrong way. That's where the personable Watson helps him.
Quinn said he signed on to the show because of the sharp script, stellar cast, and the prospect of steady work in his home city of New York.
He hadn't seen anything on the super sleuth since he watched him on TV as a kid, so he's trying to catch up now that "Elementary" has been greenlit for a full season.
"I'm not a Sherlock Holmes aficionado — yet. I'm getting there, people," said Quinn, a Chicago native who played the blue-eyed heartthrob in the 1985 film "Desperately Seeking Susan."
The Emmy Award nominee for the 2007 miniseries "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" has also adopted Holmes' tendency to take notice of everything going on around him.
"I went to a tracking and wilderness survival school a long time ago to get ready for a role and one of the things I was taught there was awareness of what's around you and details of what's going on, and that was for hunting reasons," said Quinn.
"I've always liked to challenge myself since then about, 'What do you remember, what was the colour of the room?' ... I mean, we walk around mostly 90 per cent asleep. We use such a tiny part of our brains."
Such observational skills are being lost more than ever in the smartphone and tablet era, added Quinn.
"We're myopic, too, we're looking at that screen, that iPhone, that iPad, the BlackBerry. Whatever it is, we're looking directly at that screen, we don't even have to look around us."
Quinn has played a member of a police force about five times throughout his career and said he's become friends with some of the officers he's met through research for his roles.
"I love cops," added Quinn, whose other films include "Benny and Joon" and "Legends of The Fall."
"Whenever I've met them, I like listening to them, I like their stories, I like the moral dilemma that being a policeman is, I like the fact that they have to battle with being hated right off the bat and yet completely loved when they're needed.
"I like the drama of it, and if you're certainly a detective or a homicide detective in New York City, you're going to come across every walk of life, and I like that."
Quinn's upcoming projects include the Christmas TV movie "Horses of McBride," which was shot in Alberta last March. For one scene, he had to sit on a snowmobile while being pulled up a steep hill. He ended up injuring some crew members when the vehicle started to slide and he inadvertently hit the accelerator out of panic.
"I took out the sound cart, the sound man, the boom man and another gentleman.... The snowmobile right on top of them," said Quinn.
"The absolute worst feeling in the world. I pride myself on my safety and stunts and not hurting anyone, because as a young actor there was a couple of things that happened where I went, 'OK, never again.'"
The crew members were bruised but fine, added Quinn: "But let me tell you, that was one of the worst feelings in the world."

Flier from Mere goes solo again after 60 years (From Wiltshire Times)

Flier from Mere goes solo again after 60 years
11:00am Sunday 19th January 2014 in Latest News
January 11 was a long time coming for Roy Sims, aged 78, when he achieved a 60-year ambition and piloted a glider again solo at the Bath, Wilts and North Dorset Gliding Club near his home in Mere.
He first flew solo in 1953 at RAF Hawkinge, near Folkestone, Kent. Roy has been a member of the Kingston Deverill club for four years, and has flown many times with an Instructor, but conditions were never quite right for him to fly solo. The weather on Saturday was calm and perfect, and he took a training flight and then relived that edgy sensation of climbing into the two-seater glider alone.
His launch, flight and landing were all executed perfectly, and he returned to the ground with a beaming smile.
Roy moved to Mere in 2001 and has devoted much energy to the town where he is a councillor, a civilian police volunteer, serves on the Cancer and Carnival committees and is active in Neighbourhood Watch. His next ambition is to fly a single-seater glider.

Andrew Broucher spends his days sorting through piles of clothes and shelves of food; looking after homeless people staying at Garden City Rescue Mission in Augusta.
"We like to try and help as many people as we can because we feel like that's what the Lord would want us to do," said Broucher.
The rescue mission usually shelters 35 homeless people, but with the cold 45 homeless people are now seeking shelter under their roof.
This time of year, most folks focus on family and friends, but Broucher is using his energy to help the homeless.
"I'm actually in here for a drug addiction, I came here searching for a place to get off the streets and they provided me that," said Cody Hall.
After spending months at the rescue mission Hall says he is now free from his addiction and works for them as a volunteer.
While Hall manned the front desk Friday; Broucher prepared some holiday help.
"We're having a clothing giveaway where we're going to give them some clothing, if they need a coat or jacket or pants or something. Then we're going to have the Thanksgiving dinner," Broucher, said.
He hopes the Thanksgiving event planned for next week will give folks more than just a warm meal and clothes.
"Just to see what this place can do for a person's life and how they can make a change. And it's not what we can do but what the gospel can do for somebody's life," said Broucher.
"This will be the first Thanksgiving I've spent with a family in four or five years so it will be wonderful Thanksgiving," Hall, said.
Broucher hopes it will be a Thanksgiving where folks without homes find one.
Their giveaway for the struggling community will be the day before Thanksgiving from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM and their meal will be from 12 PM to 1:30 PM.

This morning the base hosted their Breakfast with Santa event. A crowd of more than 800, including active duty military personnel and heir spouses and children, visited Santa and took photos.
The event's organizer says breakfast with Santa is Tyndall's hallmark event during the holiday season.
"It's a great way for us to show our military families the spouses active duty members and the children how much we appreciate what they do for team Tyndall year round," said Corey Coleman.
"It's just a tremendous event where all the family members have a chance to partake kids get to see Santa, we have breakfast, and there's a lot of activities going on," said Jack Wheeldon. "It's just one way Tyndall is really making the effort to reach out to the families.
On December 3rd Tyndall's officer and enlisted spouse clubs will deliver a plate of cookies to every airman living in the base dormitories.

Veteran free-agent WR Lee Evans will sign a one-year deal with the Jaguars on Monday.
Knighton's eye injury won't help pursuit of long-term deal
A serious eye injury is one more obstacle Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton must overcome as he attempts to land a new long-term deal.

Jaguars DT Knighton suffers eye injury
Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton was involved in an incident early Sunday and sustained an eye injury. He underwent surgery.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Here are the Jacksonville Jaguars top three needs going into the draft, subject to any free-agent signings it may make before then.
Titans sign DT Douzable
The Titans signed free-agent DT Leger Douzable, keeping him in the AFC South.
AFC South draft needs
With three AFC South teams having wide receiver as their No. 1 need, Notre Dame's Michael Floyd may get some consideration in Round One.
Jags could target interior O-linemen in draft
The Jaguars are expected to return all five starters on the offensive line, but strengtening the depth along the interior is a priority in the draft.
Fantasy spin: David Garrard
David Garrard is back in the NFL after a year out recovering from back problems. Is he fantasy relevant and if so, can he make an impact?
Addition of CB Ross bolsters Jaguars CB depth
The signing of CB Aaron Ross by the Jaguars flew largely under the radar, but it could pay big dividends for the team.

Alualu, the 10th overall pick in April's draft, has started every game this season. He has 48 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks. If he can't play, Leger Douzable and C.J. Mosley would get more playing time.

Reynolds would, of course, return to star in the film; although no deal has been made as yet. And it's reported that the studio is 'keen' on having Washington come back as well.
One problem though (and this is going to be a *spoiler* for anyone who hasn't seen the film yet), Washington dies at the end of the first film. So if they do get him back for the sequel, how will they pull that off?
The most likely way, of course, is to make the film a prequel; but then again, how would that work, since the characters Washington and Reynolds play in the film have never met before when the film begins.
However, I can completely understand Universal's desire to have Washington back in the sequel since Ryan Reynolds alone probably couldn't carry the film.
Tombs | September 6, 2012 5:34 PM
They will bring Denzel back as a hologram.
D.C. Kirkwood | September 6, 2012 5:14 PM
I say leave well enough alone. Ryan Reynolds did okay. But Denzel Washington was the star of the show for sure. Ryan Reynolds is very boring to me as an actor. I wouldn't pay to see him as lead in anything especially a part two. I think they should start with a new cast since Denzel Washington did die. They could probably put Vin Diselas the lead for Denzel's replacement and maybe pair him against someone like Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck, or Ryan Gosling. IMO.
ALM | September 6, 2012 4:45 PM
I haven't seen the first one yet, but good for them.
Akimbo | September 6, 2012 4:44 PM
They must have negotiated (pay or play?) sequel options for Reynolds because any reasonable person would kick him to the curb and make it an all about Denzel prequel.
Jai | September 6, 2012 9:41 AM
That's interesting, I don't recall Denzel doing any sequels to his movies.

Joe D is a maniac and supposed savior of the Boyz horrible & inconsistent special teams play under Bruce Read. We had a "special teams" draft for Joe D in 2009. While he gets credit for consistent play by our punters, every other aspect of ST play has been inconsistent during his oversight (currently PK is great, but think back to Buehler , Folk's last year, and Suisham)
The most frustrating part is our punt and KO returns seem to lack a consistent threat of the big play. Yes, Dez had a nice return vs Tampa, but he has run backwards or laterally for just about every return this season. Let's not even discuss Felix "The Turtle" Jones. The bottom line is Joe D needs to step up or be replaced!

Over the last few days, I've spent some time reflecting on this Chiefs season, and it struck me how similar the 2011 Broncos were to the 2010 Chiefs. Bear with me here - I know it's hard to stomach the comparison.
In 2010, Matt Cassel struggled out of the gate, then as he limited his mistakes, we started winning ballgames based on our running game and defense. They won a lot of games against bad teams. The last 2 games of the season, we finished with a whimper as Cassel stopped putting up numbers and turned the ball over 5 times, something he did only 3 times in his previous 12 games.
In 2011, Tim Tebow was not the starter out of the gate, and the team was struggling. He started some games, and the team started winning behind its running game and defense. They won a lot of games against bad teams. In the last 2 games of the season, he stopped putting up numbers and turned the ball over 6 times, something he did only 6 times in his previous 9 games.
It's not an exact parallel, of course, but the similarities are apparent. The Broncos enter the playoffs on a low note much the same as the Chiefs did last year, and it's not hard to imagine an experienced defense like Pittsburgh man-handling the Broncos much the same as the Ravens did to the Chiefs last year.
I think it's pretty obvious what the common thread is here: In the NFL, you can win games with a mediocre quarterback if all other elements are very good, but as a rule you cannot expect to win consistently and when it matters.

Alvarez went on to score wins over names such as Jose Miguel Cotto, Carlos Baldomir, and Lovemore N'Dou.
In 2011, Alvarez scored wins over Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes, Alfonso Gomez, and Kermit Cintron. With his win over Hatton, Alvarez won the vacant WBC junior middleweight title.
On May 5th, 2012, Alvarez defeated "Sugar" Shane Mosley by a one-sided unanimous decision. The fight was the co-feature to the Mayweather-Cotto pay-per-view main event.
In September of 2012, Canelo defeated Josesito Lopez by a fifth-round TKO.
On April 20th of '13, Canelo defeated WBA "regular" titleholder Austin Trout to unify their titles.
Last September, Canelo suffered his first defeat at the hands of pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. via decision.
Canelo rebounded from the loss with an impressive tenth-round technical knockout over Alfredo Angulo last March.

Job Online At Home - Is Selling Other People's Product A Good Choice?
Job Online At Home - Which Product?
The first thing you have to do is finding a product to promote. There are plenty of these to choose from; with each one has its own set of compensation that will be rewarded to the seller. But picking just any product and expect the money to come rolling in is not the way to go. A careful consideration should be given whether that particular product is a bestseller or not. Choosing one that nobody will buy is just a waste of time.
Job Online At Home - How Do You Sell The Product?
This is another obstacle that must be overcome in order to succeed. After selecting the product many are buying, the next thing to do is how to introduce it to the consumers who are looking for the item. This is the area where many people are struggling. There is no easy and clear path to achieve it, and people just blindly follow the clues they can find that never seem to work. If you are not a marketer, then you will surely have a difficult time learning the trade.
Job Online At Home - What Are The Investments?
As with anything else in this world, you have to invest some money in order to achieve your goal. Nothing is given free, and you have to pay the dues if you want to receive something in return. There is no doubt that a good amount of money will be wasted, as well as time and effort. If anything else, it is the passion and desperation that will give people the inspiration to go on amidst all the seeming insurmountable difficulties.
There is no doubt that having a job online at home is something anyone aspires for. But this is not a piece of cake or a walk in the park so to speak.. Many people are treating it as a form of lottery. They chance upon an opportunity and expect to hit it big without doing much work. I don't think that is the way it is supposed to be. If ever, when you enter into this, all you will be dealing with are the uncertainty and the unsureness of the whole thing.

Massachusetts is seeing some of the highest number of cases of the flu in years.
Already, 18 people have died from the virus this season.
Everyone from doctors to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick are urging people to get vaccinated from the flu virus.
"It's a great opportunity for me to remind people about the importance of getting a flu shot," Patrick said in a press conference Wednesday.
In Boston alone, there are reportedly at least 700 cases of the virus, compared to the 70 they saw during last year's flu season.
But you can protect yourself.
The vaccine is 99 percent effective. And whether you either hate needles, or believe the common myth that the flu vaccine can get you sick, local infectious disease expert, Dr. Daniel Skiest of Baystate Medical Center says vaccinate now.
"The flu shot cannot cause the flu and it could save your life," he said.
Patrick is urging residents to use common precautions to avoid spreading the virus.
"Wash your hands, cough into your elbow, some of the basic practices that help reduce the risk," Patrick said.
Skiest says they haven't seen these numbers since 2009.
Baystate officials have even changed hospital policy to minimize the exposure to the virus from both hospital patients and visitors.
"Visitors under 14 should not be visiting, and we're limiting two family members for visiting," Skiest said.
Medical professionals say keep an eye out for these symptoms:
Medical professionals are urging people to take it seriously.
Every year, about 24,000 Americans die from the flu.
"Flu can really be deadly, especially people who are already sick or elderly people. It actually kills thousands of people every year," Skiest said.
Medical professionals also say that the vaccine can take about two weeks to build up immunity so you should get vaccinated as quickly as possible.

As anyone disciplined in the art of marketing will tell you, there's a lot more to it than advertising and sales. It starts with developing the right product or service for the right market, at the right price and placing it where people will want to buy it. But wait, there's more.
You also need to understand how your marketing decisions impact and intersect with other key aspects of your business, namely your time, finances and operations. For example, when you're developing a new product or service, you need to balance supply and demand – how much you can deliver with what the market wants. You need to understand how your promotions will impact that forecast. More demand than you can manage, and you could end up disappointing customers and they won't come back. Too little and you'll end up with excess capacity – particularly bad if you have high fixed costs.
The only way to keep all the balls in the air at once is to plan ahead and intelligently forecast. The first step in that process is to create a marketing calendar. Not only will it help you sync marketing with other aspects of your business, it will also help you promote at the right time.
Use what makes your life easier, whether that's a white board and sticky notes, spreadsheet or Word document.
Customer behavior: purchase cycle, purchase patterns, life stage, etc.
There are many things that impact a customer's state of mind and the timing of their purchases. So time your marketing activities with their purchase behavior. One way to do this is to deliver messages when a prospect starts thinking about making a purchase, usually set off by a trigger event. For example, people often look for a house or new apartment when they're getting married or having children. Think about where on your calendar you would beef up your marketing activities, say around springtime. By timing communication appropriately, you can be top-of-mind just when they're ready to shop (otherwise known as the ripest moment).
Business Cycles
Another way to time your activities is in accordance with the cycles of your business or industry. For example, participate more frequently in advance of the months you know you're going to be slow. Or conversely, slow down your communications in anticipation of being too busy to handle the work or the orders. Consider what the competition is doing as well and time your activities to coincide with or to counteract them.
Business Operations
Consider key dates that impact the operation of your business. For example, anticipate the need for supplies, consider dates you need to be closed or when employees are taking vacations. Other key dates may include anniversaries, key milestones, events, etc.
Consider how the seasons, holidays and school schedules affect buyer behavior and your income. Either you have a business that's super busy during November-December, or things come to a crashing halt. Plan accordingly to flatten out the highs and lows, and to anticipate budgetary constraints. Your messages should be "seasonal" too, in that they should relate to what customers are thinking about at these key times.
Campaigns: Schedule Marketing Activities Together for Greater Impact
Coordinate your marketing activities, like sending out a press release with your trade show participation, to increase their impact. Bring them together under one campaign theme to give you something to talk about in ads, materials, signage or whatever you plan on using to promote.
As they say, timing is everything. This marketing calendar will give you a big picture view to help you stay on top of your business.

JU Season Outlook: Special Teams
Unit Coaches: Kerry Webb, Ernie Mills
Overview: Armed with a handful of dangerous kick and punt returners along with a fresh-faced group of kickers and punters, this could be an interesting season for special teams. On the return side, CB Colby Walden and WRs Larry Thompson and Adrian Riley all are back as is Dorian Guy who broke his thumb against San Diego last season. Three kickers are working to replace departed Josh Hostetler and all three are young. Dallas Stubbs and Blake Myregaard are freshmen and Bladen Gudz a sophomore but have been showing well in camp. Garrett Mohr has the punting job locked up and has been very solid in camp. He comes from good stock; his dad is former NFL punter Chris Mohr.
Key Returners: Return specialists Colby Walden, Larry Thompson, Adrian Riley, Dorian Guy, long snapper Eric Baker.
Key Losses: PK Josh Hostetler, returner Elliott Finkley.
Promising Newcomers: PK Blake Myregaard, PK Bladen Gudz, PK Dallas Stubbs, P Garrett Mohr, returner Yeovanti Williams.
Unit Strengths: The returners have experience and have shown a propensity to break some big returns.
Unit Weaknesses: Experience on the kicking side. Only Gudz has any collegiate experience.
Coaches Quote: "I don't feel nervous about returns,'' – Coach Ernie Mills

As Fenerbahce prepares to host Arsenal in their Champions League playoff first leg match, the club is also awaiting the outcome of an appeal decision over their European ban. They won't know the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision until tomorrow, but If things don't go their way in that case, the result of this tie may not matter.
For the players all they can do is win and hope things go their way off the field as well. Fenerbahce's lineup is strong featuring Raul Meireles and Dirk Kuyt, with experienced striker Pierre Webó leading the attack.
Arsene Wenger's lineup is a first choice group, as you would expect, with Santi Carzola getting the start in the midfield after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury over the weekend.
Fenerbahce starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Volkan Demirel; Bruno Alves, Joseph Yobo, Bekir İrtegün, Michal Kadlec; Mehmet Topal, Raul Meireles; Dirk Kuyt, Emre Belözoğlu, Moussa Sow; Pierre Webó.
Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczęsny; Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Kieran Gibbs; Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshire; Theo Walcott, Tomáš Rosický, Santi Carzola; Oliver Giroud.

I am not a lawyer, and don't know the legal precedence.
However, if you did the work then I would link to it as your work. They can't say you didn't do it if you did.
I'm seeking opinions, preferably from lawyers as I cannot afford my own lawyer at the moment. Last month, I left my employer of 12 years to start my own graphic design business. On my new company website, I'd like to show some marketing pieces, such as email marketing, sales slicks, ads, etc., I created during my tenure there as proof of my skills.
When I published them on my website, I got a "cease and desist" letter even though I am nowhere near competing for the same business (they are a construction company), the pieces are not confidential and I never indicate on my website that the company is a current client of mine. I would have those these pieces were fair use and my employer and I had a great relationship so I was surprised to receive the letter. Of course I immediately obliged and removed them.
Since almost my entire career was at the company, however, I don't have much else to show in my online portfolio. If I recreate each piece with similar structure/layout/theme (such as a poster promoting a contest to win World Series tickets), but reword the content, remove the logo and remove any identifying info tracking that piece back to that company, will that safeguard me from any unlawful behavior?
Thanks for your opinion.

Visit the award-winning student-designed US robotics website.
Robotics is an extracurricular program designed to get students involved with real-world engineering, computer science, design, math and applied physics. The team and project-management skills learned here last a lifetime. Robotics starts in Middle School and continues through Upper School though many students join only in Upper School.
Participants in both the Middle School and Upper School programs design robots for entry in their respective FIRST robotics competitions. Middle School participation is not required before becoming involved with the Upper School program.
Upper School robotics starts near the beginning of the school year with warm-up projects to learn the skills needed for competitions in January. Students then have six intense weeks to create a robot for entry in the nationwide FIRST robotics competition. Along the way, sub-teams get involved in mechanical, software, and electronics design and fabrication, website development, animation, computer-aided design, video production, marketing, finance, graphic design, and public relations. The 120-pound robots are built from scratch using aluminum, steel, electronics, and pneumatics. They are programmed in C++ or Java. In many ways, the Upper School robotics program operates like a small company with students leading various departments. Volunteers from the faculty, local industry, and the school community lend assistance and teach new concepts as needed. For more information about the Upper School robotics program visit the student-designed Upper School robotics website.
Catlin Gabel's US robotics team, 1540 the Flaming Chickens, is one of the top teams in the state and is the only Oregon team to have qualified for the FIRST World Championships the last six out of seven years.
Team 1540 is very active in the local community hosting numerous events and competitions as well as traveling to outreach venues. As a result most team members can satisfy their Catlin Gabel community service requirement through getting others excited about science and engineering.
Selected Upper School robotics participants also act as coaches for students in the Middle School robotics program. For more information about the Middle School robotics program visit the Middle School robotics website.
To register for US Robotics you must do two things. Fill out the on line registration form and get the signatures of a parent and C&C advisor on this form.

NEW CASTLE — During a long morning's journey into evening, Anderson's Morgan Nadaline and Pendleton Heights' Emily Tilton qualified for next weekend's IHSAA state golf tournament.
In the New Castle Regional at Westwood Golf Club on Saturday, Nadaline carded a 38-39-77 and Tilton was right behind with a 40-38-78 to each claim one of the coveted top-five spots awarded to the best players not on an advancing team.
The state will be played at The Legends Golf Club in Franklin. The first round will be played Friday morning and the second and final round will be played Saturday. All golfers who qualified will play both days.
The scorecard indicated that Westwood was created in 1917, and some of the competitors doubtless felt their regional round began on that date and ended Saturday.
Bob Windlan, the Anderson coach, reported that from first swing of the club to sinking the final putt, Nadaline's round last 6 hours, 44 minutes. A combination of the decision to play in foursomes, extremely difficult pin placements and the ruling that golfers be allowed to pick up the ball, clean it and place it while on the fairway all led to unbelievably long rounds.
"It was awful," said Nadaline of the length of the 18 holes. "I am not a patient person, and I did not handle it well at all. The pins were mostly as difficult as they could be."
Still, Nadaline, a senior heading for her third state tournament appearance, and Tilton, a junior heading for her second state showing, were able to keep their games together through the marathon experience.
"I started really strong, and then I had a couple of really interesting holes," said Tilton with a wry smile. "The fairways and rough were hard, and the greens were not holding at all. The greens were fast, and they were rolling fine."

If only we could step back and forth through time and witness pivotal moments in Bronco history. Some of the more experienced megafans on MHR may be able to provide us with some firsthand accounts of what it has been like in prior uncertain times. What were the arguments about head coaches and owners and quarterbacks? What was the consensus regarding certain changes in play style and play calling? What is the fan's perceived identity of the Denver Broncos? And maybe we can explore some future scenarios, some optimistic, some downright ridiculously rose-colored, and some (after all, we must accept the possibility in order to be wary of it) nightmarish.
Does anyone remember, at the risk of disclosing age bordering upon ancient, the moment you learned that a pro football team would be coming to Denver? What was the talk? What were people saying? Excitement? Disbelief? Cynicism?
How about the moment Bob Howsam sold the Broncos to the Phipps family? Or the scuttlebutt surrounding the other ownership changes, from Kaiser to Bowlen?
Or that first super bowl in 1978?
I ask those who were there, what was it like when Red Miller, the first man to take the Broncos to a Super Bowl, was replaced (after an 8-8 season in 1980...eerily familiar?) by Dan Reeves? What did the fans and the press say when Reeves was fired (again after an 8-8 season... a pattern seems to be emerging) and Wade Philips, and eventually Mike Shanahan were hired? Was the discourse similar? Was the feeling of shock as prevalent as it has been since Shanahan was fired?
Many of us know how it felt to watch our Orange and Blue Thunder roll past the Packers in that redeeming Super Bowl, and then soundly snuff nearly ever team in their path the following season, to watch John Elway hold that Lombardi above his head, at last.
Speaking of Elway, his first few years were not the same pageant of ticker-tape and confetti as his final two. Who has stories of the media and fan talk from 1983-1986, from Rookie to engineer of "The Drive."
And "The Drive." Many a fanpost has been written on that little gem.
Please, those of you who were there, who remember the feel, the way the discussions proceeded, the arguments, the coaching options who were never to be part of Broncos history, give us a glimpse into the similarities and differences between those "fanposts" and these, between that time and this one.
And let's turn our attention to the future. "White. A blank page or canvas. My favorite. So many possibilities." - Stephen Sondheim
Scenario #1:
Wow this "improved" Denver Bronco defense is still just struggling, John. Shanahan has groomed Sam Bradford and they have led the Jets to a thorough rout of Mike's old team. I'm sure Pat Bowlen is in that pressbox rethinking a few decisions after 5 years of losing seasons and 3 head coaches.
That's right, Al, you know, they thought they had their guy in Raheem Morris, but this Bronco organization just isn't what it used to be. The lack of discipline in this offense shows some deep flaws in the trust of the team in the coaching staff. Marred with penalties, and unable to get coordination on the field is stifling the offense, and the defense if rife with talent, but they just can't get anything done. Oh, and another pick-6 by former Bronco Karl Paymah just sealed the deal. I think the Broncos will have a tough time getting back into this one. 38-10 with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and we'll be right back.
Scenario #2:
Well, Kris, the Denver Broncos have pulled an upset here today as they clinch that final AFC wildcard berth. Coach Bates has called a brilliant game today to put away the Chiefs 28-3.
Yeah, and this Chiefs team has been riddled with injuries, or they might have gone farther. But I don't know of a better coach for just working with the players he has than Josh McDaniels here in KC. I think he could get a chearleader to believe she could start at linebacker. The Chiefs will be a playoff contender next year for sure if they can acquire a little youth.
Scenario #3:
And John Elway just can't get it done as coach as he could as a quarterback. You get the feeling, Dick, that there is some tension between the old legend and Jay Cutler. The broncos fall to 4-10 against a (now) 5-9 Raiders squad. The Chargers maintain their dominance atop the AFC West and the once proud division is in the tank for yet another year.
Scenario #4 (La-la land warning)
What a turnaround this has been from a year ago! Steve Spagnulo is the man of the year in Denver. He gave Jay Cutler and Jeremy Bates a defense, and this offense has just been on FIRE! People thought Bowlen was crazy to fire Shanahan, but Spagnulo has led this team to a perfect season! 19-0 breaking the Patriots former best single-season record. Who would have thought this in August, much less in January!
Absolutely. GM Jim Goodman and Spagnuolo bringing in the defensive staff they brought in, making those tough trades to get Darren Sproles and Haynesworth to the Mile High City, allowing Bates to continue to develop Cutler, and the play calling never misses! Those two old corners are just snatching everything that comes near them! It's like they can will the ball into their hands. They might as well have red and pewter jerseys on the way Leinart is throwing to them. That concludes Super Bowl XLII, Denver Broncos, 44; Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 17. A third Lombardi Trophy goes to Denver on the back of that man, Peyton Hillis, and the arm of Jay Cutler, in the hands of Eddie Royal, and Darren Sproles... (Thunderous applause)...
I could go on for hours. I'd like a few scenarios from the rest of MHR. Have fun with this! What is our team going to do in the future? Consider these New Year's Predictions, but not just for 2009. We know the character of our team. As fans, we demand integrity, class, excellence, and victory. We support sportsmen on the field and gentlemen off the field. We guarantee a smash in the mouth when the game is on the line, and a helping hand off the turf when the whistle blows.
We have our part, too. We must maintain the faithfulness in our fanhood. We are not fair-weather fans; we are Bronco fans. The sharp cowboy named Shanahan has tamed the white horse, and they have had some great adventures together. We are sad to watch him walk into the sunset alone, but comforted in the fact that his head is held high. Now what of Thunder? What of that alabaster steed that had been Mike's companion, trainee, vehicle for advancement, and friend? He is free, as is the nature of the wild bronco. He cannot be permanently tamed. He is liquid, always in motion, ever changing. He is power and strength and emotion and passion. This team is free as the wind. The right cowboy will come, to harness the power, and focus the energy. He will guide the development of muscles and thoughts the domesticated horse has lost. And in the end, there stands the white bronco, on a Mile High cliff overlooking a vast prairie, rising up on his back legs in defiance of a charging thunderstorm before him, with a bright orange and blue sunset silhouetting him, catching fire to his windswept mane. He is champion once again, and it is his freedom, his spirit, not the will of any one cowboy, that brought him there.
We love Shanahan. But Bowlen has unleashed a raging beast upon the NFL. Let's look to the BEST of the past and future in this, our time machine.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email MACON COUNTY, GA (WALB) – GBI agents spent the weekend in Macon County searching for clues in a murder investigation.
Friday afternoon, a child aboard a school bus spotted what they believed was a body off State Road 128.
Minutes later the bus driver called police after finding the body of unidentified man on the side of the road.
"A passerby driving a school bus was told by one of the children that they thought they saw a body on the side of the road. Sometime later the individual had come back to the area and discovered that there was an actual body there." said GBI Asst. Special Agent Trebor Randle.
Agents say the man is white, about 6 feet tall and was wearing a light gray shirt with a rooster emblem on the front. A noticeable scar was found on the victim's thigh, indicating he may have recently undergone surgery.
Investigators say the man may have been killed elsewhere and brought to the location where the body was found.
Investigators haven't released a cause of death, but are treating the case as a homicide.

Home of the Blue.wmv. (via onawajim)
It's time for our outstanding Boise fans to properly (?) greet our visiting football teams. I've seen the National Anthem sung all over the country at college and NFL games. The absolute best is at Arrowhead. It gives you the shivers when the KC fans yell "Chiefs" instead of "brave" at the end of the Anthem. Check it out Boise fans. "Blue" could be our anthem. Imagine thirty-plus thousand Broncomaniacs screaming BLUE and the end of the National Anthem!

Less to Congress Than Meets the (Blind) Eye
Lawmakers and aides pouring back into the Capitol this week may be tempted to glance at their desk calendars, smack their foreheads and exclaim, "Where did the time go?"
And then, with even more bewilderment, they might wonder, "What have we been doing all year?"
The July Fourth recess is traditionally considered halftime in the legislative year. In fact, it's a bit later than that. The Senate's had roll call votes during 17 weeks so far in 2013 and plans only 16 more weeks in session before the second Friday in December. The House has had votes in 18 weeks but expects just 14 more workweeks before that same Dec. 13 target adjournment.
The message for the laborers in the First Session of the 113th Congress is unmistakable: The time is slipping away without much to show for it. And if past is prologue, as has been the case in previous eras, we may have already seen the best this outfit has to offer.
Measuring the productivity of Congress is an inexact science, of course, fraught with ideological peril. Just as one group's claim to promote "reform" (with the modern-day connotation of "improvement') may be just as credibly labeled policy ruination by the other side, something parallel can be said about lamenting a "do nothing" Congress: What one side represents as urgently in need of federal redress, the other side can say is best left alone.
Put another way: Big-government Democrats view the role of Congress as a hammer for pounding a world full of legislative "nails" that fix society's problems. Small-government Republicans view the Congress that legislates least as the one that functions best. So, in the current climate, rooting for plenty of "productivity" out of the Capitol might fairly be labeled as taking a partisan side.
But, still. In the sort of divided government that now exists — the rule rather than the exception for the past four decades — the two sides have always ended up producing more laws in the first six months of each new Congress than they have now.
President Barack Obama has signed just 15 bills into law so far in 2013. By the time a similarly divided Congress broke for the Fourth of July two years ago, the number was 23. Six months into his first year as president, and working with a unified Democratic Congress, he had taken out his pen on 40 occasions.
This Congress is also off to a slow start compared with the four previous re-elected presidents in the first year of their second terms. By July 4, 2005, George W. Bush had signed 20 measures produced by his fellow Republicans then in charge on the Hill. The comparable figures were 26 for Bill Clinton, 60 for Ronald Reagan and 63 for Richard Nixon — and they each faced a Capitol controlled at least in part by the other side.
Looking at all those years, a pattern emerges: About one-quarter of all the legislation cleared in the first year of each Congress gets done before the Fourth of July. If that holds, the 60 or so laws of 2013 would fall far short of the 90 laws of 2011, the smallest output in any year since before World War II.
(The 283 laws written during both sessions of the tea-party-infused, fiscal-cliff-flummoxed, presidential-election-obsessed 112th Congress set a postwar record for small productivity, far below the 333 PLs of the 104th, in 1995 and 1996, when Republicans controlled Congress for the first time in 40 years.)
Of course, counting the number of public laws is a poor way to measure the quality or importance of the congressional work product. Clearing a bill that revamps all transportation programs, say, is obviously a bigger and more complicated deal than sending the president a measure putting a dead guy's name on a federal courthouse.
But the quantitative midyear data is reliable for predicting annual legislative output. And measuring that output isn't a bad way to gauge the level of functionality in Congress, given that every measure enacted, no matter how symbolic or tangentially effecting public policy, has nonetheless required a good measure of bipartisan and bicameral staff and lawmaker collaboration.
The small number of new laws projected for this year, in other words, is another good indication of the brokenness of the legislative branch.
Many of the 15 enacted so far have been front-page news: providing Sandy relief, rewriting the Violence Against Women Act, postponing the next debt ceiling fight, wrapping up last year's appropriations, exempting air traffic controllers from the sequester, easing the new STOCK Act's online disclosure rules for executive branch workers, honoring the "four little girls" killed in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that spurred the civil rights movement.
It's the tiny number of statutes most of the public has heard nothing about that give pause. For every Freedom to Fish Act (PL 113-13) — it overturned Army Corps of Engineers safety restrictions on angling in the Cumberland River as it flowed through Tennessee and Kentucky — there are a dozen other parochial problem-solvers or niche-industry rifle shots yearning to emerge.
All it would take to show the voting public it can function is a Congress that once again values cooperation and collegiality — and is able to discover reservoirs of both once the public spotlight is turned another way.

the guy is extremely pathetic as a commentator. waaay too biased. it's almost sad. maybe someone should tell him to lay off the weed and he wouldn't be so homotional. he has to go.
either that or give us the option to watch without commentary and just the ring and crowd noise. that is even better than being at the fight imo.

If you want to complain about Jim Lamply's bias calls in certain fights, you can Word Process a letter to the head of HBO's Sports Department. It is probably better than sending e-mail. Be professional and cite specific examples of Jim's bias during his calls in fights.
Copy this link into your letters, it is good evidence, showing how Jim's biased favoritism of Manny Pacquiao in the Timothy Bradley fight may have influenced the public into seeing a one-sided fight, which was a lot closer than Jim called:
If you can cite maybe 3 good examples of Jim Lamply's bias in fights and if enough people respond professionally, maybe the head of HBO Sports will be able to talk to Jim and have him review some footage. A one-page letter would be good if you choose to contact HBO Sports: Here is the address:
Mr. Ken Hershman
HBO Sports, President
1100 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY. 10036
Don't just come out and say that Lamps sucks. Instead point out how his commentary has changed over the past decade from excited, professional commentary to a favorable bias for the HBO contracted fighter. This disrespect that Jim showed after the Garcia win with the above comment, cite that too. Give like 3-5 good instances of Jim's biased and unprofessional views in recent years. Maybe if enough people see the same things, Jim might settle down and be more neutral in his commentary. This might help.

Antony, Jiju (2007) Development of an experiment-based robust design paradigm for multiple quality characteristics using physical programming. International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 35 (11-12). pp. 1100-1112.

The well-known quality improvement methodology, robust design, is a powerful and cost-effective technique for building quality into the design of products and processes. Although several approaches to robust design have been proposed in the literature, little attention has been given to the development of a flexible robust design model. Specifically, flexibility is needed in order to consider multiple quality characteristics simultaneously, just as customers do when judging products, and to capture design preferences with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Physical programming, a relatively new optimization technique, is an effective tool that can be used to transform design preferences into specific weighted objectives. In this paper, we extend the basic concept of physical programming to robust design by establishing the links of experimental design and response surface methodology to address designers' preferences in a multiresponse robust design paradigm. A numerical example is used to show the proposed procedure and the results obtained are validated through a sensitivity study.

If your last name begins with the letters A through F, you've already attended government-mandated Olympic Awareness Camp, and thus, you've heard the news: Baseball will not be returning to the Olympic Games, at least not anytime soon ...
[Baseball and softball] joined forces as the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) to bid against wrestling and squash for the one available berth on the Olympic programme for the 2020 and 2024 Games. But they missed out after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members voted overwhelming [sic] to reinstate wrestling.
And so our favorite pastime joins Korfball and hot air ballooning in the dustbin of defunct Olympic sports. "The first modern hot air balloon," according to Wikipedia, "was designed and built in 1960 by Ed Yost." Alas, it's not Eddie "Walking Man" Yost.
Anyway, all this Olympics talk reminded me of Bill James' essay (subscription only) on the 2008 Summer Olympics, which, to his great surprise, he loved. Why the surprise? Because Bill always despised the politics and corruption of "the Olympic Movement," and especially longtime IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch:
Samaranch, for those of you who weren't paying attention for a half-century or so, is a Spanish con artist who somehow weaseled his way into a position as the permanent head of the International Olympic Committee. He insisted on being addressed as "Your Excellency," went everywhere in private jets and chauffeured limousines, and stayed only in Presidential suites. His private suite in Lausanne, Switzerland was rented for him, with Olympic funds, for $500,000 a year. It was a drop in the bucket to the full cost of sustaining Samaranch in the opulence to which he was accustomed.
Samaranch staffed every Olympic committee with cronies, relatives, toadies and sycophants who engaged in obvious and more or less open bribery and corruption. Discovering that many cities wanted desperately to host the Olympic games, Samaranch's lackeys competed to see who could extort the most money from potential host cities in exchange for their votes. Everything was for sale in Samaranch's fiefdom—judging positions, press credentials, administrative staff accommodations.
The athletes, meanwhile, were supposed to be amateurs! While stuffing his own pockets with the sales of everything material and symbolic, Samaranch stubbornly insisted that the athletes needed to be pure amateurs uncorrupted by lucre, or even endorsements. It seems fantastic, in retrospect, that the world put up with this as long as it did. Jim McKay would wax poetic about this wonderful theater of pure sportsmanship, and somehow we were not supposed to notice that the whole show was being orchestrated by Lex Luthor. Maybe it was just me, but I couldn't help noticing.
He has some choice words for McKay, too.
Though I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ben Sheets shut out Cuba for the gold medal in 2000, I'm not too upset about baseball's rejection by the IOC. Let them have their Synchronized Diving and Mixed Pairs Artistic Bouncy Castle. We've got the World Baseball Classic, after all, and a World Series almost every October.

The leaves are changing and Fall weather is here, but that's not stopping tourism in the Traverse City Area.
In fact, for some businesses like local wineries, this time of year is the busiest.
And, downtown businesses say things are not slowing down for them either.
The Cherry Republic tells 9 and 10 News that aside from their normal big selling items, Fall draws people to the wine.
Two Lads Winery says the bad year for apples and cherries, did not affect the grapes.
Business downtown stays steady even when the snow starts to fly, because of Winter festivals like the Winter Wow Fest.

Capitol Visitor Center:
Results of Risk-based Analysis of Schedule and Cost
GAO-06-440T: Published: Feb 15, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 15, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO testified before the Senate Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations to provide the results of a risk-based analysis of schedule and cost for the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). Our remarks focused on (1) our assessment of the risks associated with the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) December 2005 schedule, and our estimate of a time frame for opening the project to the public; and (2) the project's costs and funding, including the potential impact of scheduling issues that have arisen since the Subcommittee's November 16, 2005, hearing on the CVC project's schedule and cost.
Since the Subcommittee's November 16 CVC hearing, AOC and the CVC team have moved the project's construction forward and significantly revised the schedule, particularly for the base project. For example, they have reached agreement with AOC's Chief Fire Marshal on the schedule for testing the base project's life safety systems and have enhanced the manner in which the project's operations schedule is incorporated into the project's master schedule. In addition, they have reviewed and revised the schedule, postponing the opening dates for the CVC and the House and Senate expansion spaces by about 2 months each. Under AOC's revised schedule, the CVC would be open to the public in February 2007 with a temporary cap on visitor occupancy, and the expansion spaces would be open in April 2007. However, to allow for possible delays and start-up time for operations, AOC is proposing to open the CVC in April 2007 and the expansion spaces in May 2007, at which time the temporary cap on CVC occupancy would be lifted. We concur with AOC about the need for postponing the opening dates, but do not believe that AOC has scheduled enough time to complete several of the project's critical tasks and to address the problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties that AOC and the CVC team are attempting to address. If they are successful in addressing these issues, we believe that the CVC can be opened to the public with the temporary cap on visitor occupancy in May 2007 and that the expansion spaces can be opened beginning in mid-August to early September 2007. Congress may be able to begin occupying the expansion spaces earlier if AOC implements a phased opening plan it is considering. However, if AOC experiences major problems completing construction, such as with installing interior stone or testing major building systems, the work could be finished even later than we have estimated. According to our current estimate, the total estimated cost to complete the entire CVC project is about $555 million without an allowance for risks and uncertainties. This estimate exceeds our November 16, 2005, estimate by about $12 million because we and AOC's construction management contractor are now projecting further delay-related costs. Changes in the project's design and scope have also been occurring, and more are likely. For example, the project's fire protection system has been evolving, and the system is now expected to cost more than previously estimated. To date, about $528 million has been provided for CVC construction. Thus, we now estimate that another $25.6 million will be needed to complete construction without an allowance for risks and uncertainties and taking into account funding from existing appropriations that AOC is planning to use. With an allowance for risks and uncertainties, we now estimate that the project could cost as much as about $584 million at completion, or about $25 million more than we estimated in November 2005. Estimated costs for the tunnel connecting the CVC with the Library of Congress are still within, but are now approaching, the $10 million statutorily mandated limit.

Hello All!
I read the sticky on the Wiimote issues but still am not sure so Ima post it.
EVERY time I start the Wii, I need to add my 2nd controller. When I load a game I have to load it again. Should I try the Re-Sync option again? Or should I send it back to Nintendo for a replacement or is that the norm?
Please let me know what you guys do!!!

|American; Caribbean
|Cook Method
|Low Calorie; Low Fat; Gluten Free; Low Cholesterol; Low Sodium; Heart Healthy; Vegetarian
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
2 medium ripe bananas, unpeeled
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup dark rum
2 cups vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt
1/2 cup pineapple curd (prepared ahead of time)
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
Peel the bananas, and cut each in half lengthwise. Then slice each banana half into four pieces by cutting across the width of the banana. Coat the bananas with the lime juice, and dip them into the brown sugar mixture, coating the bananas completely.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Place the bananas into the melted butter and cook for 2 minutes, flipping the bananas after 1 minute. Once cooked, remove the bananas from the heat, but leave them in the skillet.
Pour the rum into the skillet with the bananas. Carefully light with a long match or lighter, and allow the flames to die down.
Scoop equal portions of frozen yogurt onto four dessert dishes. Cover the frozen yogurt with 4 banana pieces and 2 tablespoons of pineapple curd. Serve immediately.
