California Car Wars: EPA, CARB, and Unintended Consequences
EPA administrator Lisa Jackson is currently weighing whether to reverse the Bush Administration's policy and grant a waiver for the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards. Thirteen other states are poised to adopt the CARB program if Jackson reverses. But what will ensue is less a victory for "clean air" than the creation of a chaotic and likely intractable set of regulations with very modest emission reductions. In the current economic climate, in fact, the waiver will likely result in increased GHG emissions.
Background: Dr. Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and a principal blogger at Master Resource, has written about the patchwork nature of car design if allowed to go forward. He summarizes a report by the National Association of Auto Dealers (NADA), PatchworkProven, that provides two reasons Jackson should hold onto previous EPA head Stephen Johnson's denial, albeit with different rationales: the California Standards violate the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), and they would create a [unworkable] patchwork of individual state level regulations. As Lewis notes, the EPCA:
prohibits states from adopting laws or regulations "related to fuel economy." Yes, I'm well aware that in Central Valley Chrysler-Jeep, Inc. v. Goldstone (2006), the U.S. District Court for Eastern California held that EPCA does not preempt CARB from establishing GHG standards for new motor vehicles. However, the Court's reasoning was spurious, and Johnson should not have given it a free pass.
Lewis continues:
The CARB emissions program is essentially fuel economy regulation by another name, [a fact readily admitted by Californian politicians and regulators]. CO2 comprises 97% of the GHG emissions from motor vehicles. Since there is no commercial technology for capturing or filtering out motor vehicle CO2 emissions, the chief way to decrease CO2-equivalent grams per mile (that's how the CARB GHG standards are calibrated) is to decrease fuel consumption per mile, i.e., increase fuel economy.
… The bottom line [in PatchworkProven]: "Absent a significant increase in new vehicle fleet fuel economy, it is impossible to comply with CARB's regulation." So the CARB emissions program is substantially "related to fuel economy." As such, it is prohibited by EPCA.
CARB and its allies repeatedly deny that granting the waiver would create a regulatory "patchwork," with automakers required to comply in different ways in different states. Automakers have had no trouble building cars that meet two different emission standards, CARB contends. Promulgating GHG emission standards would merely update a system that has worked well for decades, its argument goes.
But the number and percentage of vehicle models an auto company "delivers for sale" differ from state to state. For any auto fleet, no two states, whether embracing the California standards or not, are likely to have the same average fuel economy or CO2-equivalent grams per mile.
As the NADA report puts it, "If CARB's regulation were to take effect in all 50 states, the resulting 50-state patchwork would require automakers to manage 50 unique state fleets and to individually meet CARB's standard 50 different ways."
Emission Reductions? Lewis says it is not even clear that the CARB standards would achieve any significant reduction in emissions.
Yet CARB claims that adoption of its standards by 13 states would eliminate 59% more CO2 emissions in 2020 than would compliance with federal fuel economy rules. But companies forced to "deliver for sale" smaller, lighter, more fuel-economical vehicles in the CARB states would be allowed, under the federal fuel economy program, to sell more large, heavy, gas-guzzling vehicles in non-CARB states. Readers should note this is the same CARB (re AB 32) whose economic analysis "showed" that California would benefit economically from drastic GHG programs (including the standards subject of the waiver request). And it is the same CARB whose own peer reviewers found it had essentially "cheated" on the economic and technical analysis.
Going beyond the Lewis analysis based on PatchworkProven, there is a third reason for Jackson to deny granting the waiver. By raising the price of new cars sold in California—at least $3,000 per car as admitted by CARB— it is likely to further slow the "fleet" turnover even below the already dismal new car sales rate. This will inevitably lead to an increased percentage of older cars on the roads, as driver hold on to their vehicles. This will likely result in lower—not higher—average mpg and higher emissions, than if the California waiver is not granted.
I hope that the EPA includes the slower fleet turnover in their re-consideration. How unfortunate it would be for both California and the federal government to increase emissions in the name of reducing emissions–at least in the current economic climate and probably longer. New cars are already more efficient and lower emitting than the cars on the road–not discouraging fleet turnover is key.

It seems to me that by allowing these standards to be implemented, long-term good could be done. Proponents of these regulations sell it to the public as a "free" regulation with no cost or even as some sort of green job nirvana whereby imposing extra costs will somehow make the state more money. There's no better way to discredit those arguments than to let people see the real results in the more limited selection and or higher costs in their states. It seems like competition amongst the states could pick a winner that balances acceptable regulation with actual costs.

Based on the "Bradley Thesis" of increasingly sustainable fossil fuel economics, based on improved combustion and transmission technologies, the impacts of the CARB proposals could be truly perverse. Once people purchase the very high fuel economy vehicles the marginal cost of driving will fall dramatically. Even when the price of mogas rises significantly. Only the imposition of truly revolting extreme vehicles standards (>75 mpg), resulting in cars that no one will want to be in for more than the ride to the train station, will get people out of their cars once they cost little to operate.

The "Bradley Thesis" would probably have to be renamed the "Simon thesis" for Julian Simon.
I do think that the hydrocarbon family of energies is improving in virtually every dimension and that the "sustainability" challenge is government intervention in markets, not nature ("peak oil") or carbon-content (climate-change).

Thanks Tom for your blog about my blog. A point I did not mention in the blog, all-too-briefly discussed in a recent op-ed I did for Human Events (http://cei.org/articles/granting-emissions-waiver-will-lead-de-stimulus)
is that granting the waiver would arguably make CO2 a regulated pollutant under the Clean Air Act, triggering the economy-chilling regulatory cascade discussed in EPA's Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR). For a more complete discussion of the administrative and economic perils of regulating CO2 under the Clean Air Act, see my comment on the ANPR (http://cei.org/node/21367).

Well, golly, darn it! You people make me giggle.
Neither California's car standards, nor the finer points of AB32 have been implemented yet. Hmmm. Mebbe it's due to pending fear of energy cost increases.

D&AD Student Awards 2013
D&AD Student Awards
March – July 2013
In 2012 we were invited by leading design and advertising body D&AD to set a brief for their prestigious Student Awards. We worked closely with them to write a brief that was both creatively interesting and rooted in real world It's Nice That considerations; our brief asked the students to look at new ways we could engage with the student audience both at home and abroad.
Thousands of students downloaded the It's Nice That brief and dozens submitted entries to the judging panel, on which two senior members of staff sat and helped pick the eventual Yellow Pencil winner. This accolade went to Thomas Fitzmaurice of Coventry University who proposed repurposing an ice cream van to make it a mobile screenprinting unit and touring universities spreading the word about It's NIce That.

Is there a standard way to remove Blades on a woods belly mower .
I want to sharpen them.
Re: Blade Removal
Turn the nut in the same direction as the blade turns. The cutting edge of the blade will be a clear indication.

Re: Blade Removal
Standard way is to get the biggest air wrench that you can find!---I use 3/4" drive on mine the first time removing them then after that use a 1/2" drive and watch how tight you get them!---figure on breaking at least 2 of the 3 bolts off the first time and drilling them out!---It mostly depends on how former owner cared for the mower! thanks; sonny
Re: Blade Removal
I figured that much , I did'nt know if anyone had any Tricks. I an not going to tackle them untill the end of season now.
Re: Blade Removal
Jam a 2x4 between the blades and the deck. Use this to keep the blades from turning.
I use a breaker bar when loosening the nut.

Log in to your Library account
The Teaching and Learning Support Section (TLSS) offers a studypack production service for if:
The TLSS can offer expertise in checking copyright and requesting copyright permission from publishers where necessary. The purpose of this guide is to provide information for staff about the procedures involved.
The content is entirely up to the course organisers: lecture notes, periodical articles, chapters or sections of books etc. can be used. However, to avoid delays, the proposed contents list must provide the full bibliographic details for each extract, incluing the author, title, publisher, date of publication of the source, ISBN or ISSN, as well as the number of pages and details of the extract to be included. This is important to ensure lists can be checked quickly: citations with insufficient detail with be returned.
The library needs to have a firm figure of the number of packs to be produced, as any copyright fees are based on this and the number of pages of the extract.
The copyright limits are the same as for other paper course readings i.e. as long as UCL library holds a copy of the original source, and the CLA licence covers the publisher, we can include 1 chapter / article / 5% etc. of a source.
Please note that these limits are per course: this means one chapter or 5% of a source for the whole year for one course. This encompasses all uses of that source, e.g. PDF readings, paper handouts in class and paper Teaching Collection copies.
If more than one chapter or 5% is to be used, then copyright clearance is required. Similarly, permission is required if the material is not covered by the CLA licence for other reasons, such as some foreign publishers, or if the source is not held by UCL. In these cases, the TLSS will inform the department and request permission from the rights holders. You may wish to use an alternative extract if there are difficulties in obtaining permission.
Permission lasts for 1 academic year and will have to be re-requested for use in subsequent years.
In previous years the TLSS have used UCL's Reprographics department, CATS, for the production of studypacks and we recommend this option. The most appropriate package currently offered is heat binding, with a taped spine and card front and back covers: the TLSS will be happy to show you examples of previous packs produced. A contents page must be included, providing full details of extracts and their sources and any acknowledgements if permission has been granted.
Departments should be aware that the CLA are entitled to visit an institution to check compliance with the terms of the licence, so you must ensure that any copyright notices stipulated by copyright holders are prominently displayed. A copy of the pack, or a final version of the contents list, must also be deposited with the TLSS.
See the CATS webpage for details on contacting staff for more information.
Printing and any copyright fees must be borne by departments. You must have your Department's approval, and funds in place to pay any potential fees, before asking the TLSS to request any permissions for you.
Departments are responsible for distributing packs and can sell them to students to recoup copyright and printing costs, but not to make a profit.
It has proved impossible to estimate the likely copyright cost for any items which require permission, as it varies so greatly. We will notify you of any permission fee: if you approve it, we will pay the invoice and send your department an IDT (Inter Departmental Transfer) for the total cost. If you do not agree to the fee, we will cancel the permission contract.
The Library needs references for all published material for copyright clearance at least 8 weeks before the date the pack is to be given to students: publishers can take 4-6 weeks to reply to a request. For submission deadline dates, please see here.
If you have any questions about producing a study pack please contact:

Lynchburg, VA - Former Congressman and Presidential Candidate Virgil Goode was in Lynchburg Thursday. He spoke to government classes at E.C. Glass High school.
The kids were so excited to get some time with him. They got to get up close and personal with Goode, asking him questions about policy, his past, and some of the challenges he faces in this run for the presidency.
He was invited by the E.C. Glass government teacher. About 50 juniors and seniors, many able to vote, listened to Goode speak for about 45 minutes.
But the highlight was when they got to ask Goode questions. They spent the day learning about him and the Constitution Party, under which he's running.
For about 30 minutes, Goode took passionate questions from the audience addressing everything from social issues, to his tax policy.
"They certainly showed that they're looking at the issues for 2012, so I think that's a plus," said Goode.
"I really appreciate that he took the time. Lynchburg is not a very big place, he took the time to come here. There were Republicans in there, Democrats, I'm sure, people that don't even really know what their beliefs are," said Madeleine McDonald, a student.
The teacher extended the invitation to Goode, explaining what better way to learn government than from a veteran politician. He said he invited Romney and the president as well, but neither has gotten back to him.

I'm going out on the limb with this one. The Lions have been losing for the past 50 years, so what? When they get their act right, they'll be just what you don't expect them to be, Champions.
What's wrong with them?
1-They need depth, not superstars. They have CJ, Staff and Suh, enough stars to build around.
2- They need discipline. Yes blame the coach if you will. Why do you draw penalties? Because you cheat and why do you cheat? Is it because you're not good enough or are you trying to get an edge to carry the team so you can cover for weak players. The Lions have the weakest and shittiest linebackers in the NFL, they can't stop the rush because they can't tackle and they're out of position. They don't cover the pass very well at all. Maybe the same goes for Peterman on the O line, trying to compensate and get a bull rush to open holes (or he can't play the game at that level). You pay a heavy price if you want to do more than your job it seems. It's a team game.
3- They don't have Continuity. Either we don't get the commitment of the FO for the present and future of the team or either they're idiots running the team. I said it before, it takes guts to take on a project with the Detroit Lions. Do you really think Cowher who inherited a strong Pittsburgh team and took 14 years to take them to the Promised Land would try his luck in Detroit? I gues it would take him 228 years to get to the Super Bowl. Gruden? He'd butcher this team for the now moment with an over the hill QB and old veterans and redo a Marineli on us. Before we put names of possible replacements, look where they come from and what they built. Tony Dungy built the Bucs from scratch and Gruden won the SB with his team! So give Schwartz a fucking break, he knows what he's doing. He can't mask the lack of talent at critical positions on this team. It's been said many times, it takes time to rebuild a ball club from scratch.
4-Salary Cap. Even though this year is uncapped, a financial budget has to be set. How many 10 M$ a year superstars can we afford? If you have 100M$ to spend on 53 players, the more superstars you have, less is left for the complementary players. It's simple math! You think we need a stud corner? I beg to differ, you need LB's on defense. If I were Mayhew, I hope they trade down and possibly out of the 1st round so we can get picks not necessarily for this year but subsequent years (Billichik's way fo keeping the Pats rolling). We don't need superstars but a stable of good to excellent support players we can afford. The more FA you bring in, less is left for the other players that are developing, you have to give up on them for purely financial reasons sometimes. If you guys think a top 5 pick with a stud corner is the answer, tell me how that compensates for poor linebackers? How the FO balances the equation of primadonnas (top 5 picks every year) versus getting solid support players is where the game should be played. Overpaid FA's don't always work out well when their best years are behind them.
5-Special Teams. Here's a fact, every year teams overhaul Special teams because they get fresh new rookies on the field this way. This year, we got studs to play there because we haven't got the talent level that we need to be competitive. By this I mean, teams drop studs from ST's because they are developing rookies into good players whereas the ST studs can do little else for the team.
You want wins? Take a number, they will come. Enjoy the games. Stats show how bad they are but after 3 quarters, they are often ahead, tied or very close. That's why I disregard them for now because I see the Lions hanging in there till the 4th quarter. That is enough for me when I look at their roster. Next year I want them to be in there for the whole game (they have hung in there till the end enough to get a passing grade from me).
Sorry for the long post!

DELAFIELD (WKOW) -- A Wisconsin Civil War soldier who fought heroically at the Battle of Gettysburg could finally receive the nation's highest military decoration.
Descendants of 1st Lt. Alonzo Cushing have pushed for years to have the Delafield soldier awarded the Medal of Honor, but Congress first had to grant an exception to the rule that Medals of Honor be awarded within two years of the act of heroism. Congress did that Friday as part of a defense bill sent to President Barack Obama. If he signs it, the Defense Department can choose to recommend the medal for Cushing and President Obama can decide whether to approve it.
Although grievously wounded at Gettysburg, Cushing helped defend a Union position that could have turned the tide in favor of Confederate forces. He was 22 when he died.

The wind blows and the rain falls in this artistically worded children's book that describes the deep love and unique quality of family by author and illustrator Sarah McTernen.
About the AuthorArdent Photography
smcternen University Place, WA
With a keen eye for subtlety, Sarah McTernen captures the everyday objects of day to day life through the lens of her camera and transports them from mundane to marvelous. She has stood behind her camera for fifteen years, shooting subjects from the beautiful landscapes of Western Washington to the not-always-beautiful objects of coffee house denizens. Her skill at capturing the essence of her subject has won her praise. In 2005 she opened Ardent Photography to share her gift with the people of Western Washington.
If a photograph is worth a thousand words, then I have my work cut out for me when it comes to my poetry and my fiction. I have been writing since I was seven with one children's book finished along with a compilation of poems that stand out in front of a myriad of novels in various stages of completion and a second poetry compilation. I am also a fan of the culinary arts. Watch for a recipe book with dynamic photographs to make its way into the book stores.

|Pat Summitt (via Minnesota Public Radio)
I hesitate to use the word "quitter" when talking about Pat Summitt. Seriously - look at her Wikipedia page (and then ask yourself WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?):
- Summitt is the only men's or women's basketball coach in NCAA history to reach 1000 wins. She has never had a losing season.
- Summitt has won 109 games in the NCAA post-season tournament. No other women's basketball program has played in 100 NCAA tournament games.
- Forty-five of her former players have gone on to become coaches.
45! What the what?!
The circumstances are sad, but I love that she's going out on a high note.

Set in New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century, The Princess and the Frog concerns a poor African-American girl named Tiana who has a knack for cooking, and dreams of opening her own restaurant. Her best friend since childhood is a privileged white girl whose wealthy father employs Tiana's mother as a dressmaker. When the friend's family hosts a party for Prince Naveen of Maldonia, Dr. Facilier, an expert in black magic, turns the visiting royal into a frog. The now amphibious Naveen convinces Tiana that a kiss will reverse the spell, and if she obliges him he'll provide the money she needs to open her dream eatery. However, their smooch not only fails to turn him back into a human, but transforms Tiana into a frog as well. The duo then sets out to find a voodoo priestess who can set everything right.

text: Well since our beloved Cardinals can not lose this week, it's time for the front office to get on the phone and get us a pass rusher that we so desperately need. I know he is out with an injury, but does anyone else here think that we may need to pull an Al Davis and grab a Marquee defensive player in his twilight? Richard Seymour has worked out rather well for Oakland, and the old man was dead on when he mentioned that Seymour was better than anyone he could have grabbed in the 1st round. James Harrison will be out for a few weeks, and they have slid a first rounder into his place at ROLB, so it's only a matter of time before Timmons makes the more expensive Harrison expendable in the Steelers' D, Do you think James Harrison can provide the impact our defense so desperately needs?

Let's say I have two forms: form1 and form2.
After pressing a NEXT_COMMAND in form1, I need to change the value of the gauge in form2 and then show form2. Thus:
However, this doesn't work as I expected it to. It doesn't change a thing at first. On the other hand, if I go back from form2 to form1 and then again from form1 to form2 it would work.Code:public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) { .... else if (displayable == form1) { if (command == NEXT_COMMAND) { form2_gauge.setValue(value); display.setCurrent(form2); } .... } ....
I can't figure it out myself. I'd be enormously grateful of any possible help.

I wonder who knows about Imagemagick on this forum?
I used to use Gimp and was happy with it but when I updated my PC I found a not to be missed deal on photoshop - not that I use it very much.
Gimp has a few I suppose problems is not the word for it but to work with RAW files you need to install UFRAW and to work with Liquid rescale you have to install something else.
What I like about photoshop is the brush to change exposure etc. which was not available on GIMP.
Out of interest I have Imagemagick installed on my windows PC and have an Icon/batch file I just drag and drop photos over to resize, add borders or whatever else I want to do with them.
I have stuck with Windows as I could never get the hand of Linux - I suppose I have been using windows so long I am used to it. I also came from the time that if you wanted to install a modem or something on Linux it took 2 or 3 hours!

Marc Jacobs Rumored to Be Leaving Louis Vuitton-------
Following months of rumors, reports this morning suggest that Marc Jacobs—who has served as Louis Vuitton's creative director since 1997—may not renew his contract with the storied French house. French publication Challenges asserted that Jacobs' departure had already been approved internally. Furthermore, an anonymous source hinted to Reuters that Nicolas Ghesquière was being considered as Jacobs' replacement. Another source, however, stated that "nothing has been decided yet." Vuitton and Jacobs—who is set to show his Spring '14 collection for the house on Wednesday, October 2—have yet to comment on the potential shake-up.
Alessandro Dell'Acqua Heads to Rochas-------
It seems as though the rumors, which began to swirl last week, are true. Rochas announced today that Alessandro Dell'Acqua—who stepped down from Les Copains last week, and also heads up his own range, No. 21—has been appointed as the new creative director at the French house. Dell'Acqua replaces Marco Zanini, who breathed new life into the brand after Olivier Theyskens' departure in 2008. Word on the street is that Zanini is heading to the recently revived house of Schiaparelli—and perhaps, considering the success he's had at Rochas, he is just the man for the job. That being said, he'll have some pretty big shoes to fill. Schiaparelli has yet to comment.

Interesting article on tanking
I happen to agree with this 100%. I can't think of a way out of getting a fair order, especially the closer you get to 60 games. The only problem I see is if a team goes on a tear down the stretch and makes the playoffs. Under that circumstance, only non playoff teams should be eligible. What are your thoughts?

Now that Jake Tapper is out as White House correspondent who will ask the slightly difficult pre-approved question?—
Ryan (@RJF_723) December 20, 2012
It's sad to think the best way for a journalist to distinguish himself these days is to actually ask questions that aren't on the pre-approved topics list, but ABC's Jake Tapper has been doing that a bit lately. Only yesterday he drew the ire of the president by asking where's he's been for the last four years on the issue of guns, and he's one of the few outside of Fox News who bothered to address Benghazigate (albeit a little late, but better late than never). And today he treated us to a peek inside his "Press Secretary-to-English Dictionary."
Whoa. That didn't take long. Guess Barry didn't care for @JakeTapper's question yesterday. Good luck to ya, Jake.—
Greg Demo (@TxAv8r) December 20, 2012
So is it any surprise that Tapper has announced he's leaving ABC News for the more conservative … CNN?

Steve Holland (@steveholland1) December 20, 2012
Most likely time slot for @JakeTapper: 4 or 6pm. "The Situation Room," now 3 hours, will return to 2 (like it used to be).—
Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) December 20, 2012
An anchor position? That would explain the move. CNN says he'll also serve as CNN's chief Washington correspondent. We were getting to like Tapper in the White House briefing room, where in August he had the guts to zing the president with the line, "Don't be a stranger," after Obama left the podium following a rare appearance before the press.
The news of Tapper's departure was said to be a sobering development for some at ABC.
BREAKING: Diane Sawyer comments on @jaketapper leaving ABC: "Wrrrr wusssuhh hrrrrmm, heh, brrrmfl wwwummuff." (hic!)—
Kevin Eric Snell (@KevEnoch) December 20, 2012
Many say the move is good for CNN and whatever viewers the network has left. Tapper will anchor his own show on weekdays, and followers have some suggestions for juggling CNN's schedule.
Jake Tapper to CNN. Excellent move by CNN. He's the best out there. Actually have a reason to check out CNN!—

There's one word that isn't allowed to be said in the Danville Area Community College Jaguars men's basketball locker room. The truth is, there are probably a lot of words coach Mike Carpenter would rather not hear on a consistent basis. But the "S" word isn't to be discussed.
The six letter word has undoubtedly been thrown around by a number of people outside of the program, but the more the Jaguars avoid it, the bigger it gets. For the last two months, it has grown increasingly each time they step on the court, and on Saturday it got even bigger with an 83-68 win over Illinois Central College.
"We haven't mentioned the word 'streak' the whole season, and we're going to keep it that way," Carpenter said. "We approach every day the same. We're going to take a business-like approach and prepare like we have all season. The word 'streak' has not come out of my mouth all year, and it won't. I'm sure they're aware of it as well as other people, and that's great. We're playing well right now, but we can't be playing to break records. We have to be playing to play for each other and continue to work hard and play together as a team. That's how we've won the games that we've won."
The seventh-ranked Jaguars (24-3 overall, 7-0 in the Mid-West Athletic Conference) have now won 13 games in a row with the impressive run starting on December 18. Much of their success has been attributed to experience and maturity. The team boasts nine sophomores including three that are older than most second-year students — Kody Tucker (21), Mike Ryce (24) and David Hicks (25). Add freshman Ronnie White (22) to the list, and Carpenter has a mature and coachable roster capable of performing in pressure situations. Most importantly, the Jaguars understand the significance of playing defense.
Saturday marked the ninth time this season DACC has held an opponent to less that 40 percent shooting, and the 10th time it has won by 15 or more points.
"We realize we can win a lot of games with defense, so we can get down and we can guard people," DACC sophomore Derek Shouse said. "It starts with our point guard, Chris Whitehead. He does a great job of playing D on the point guard."
The defense might begin with Whitehead, but it typically ends with White, who swatted five blocks against ICC. It is the 12th time this season he has recorded five or more blocks, and he has increasingly earned the trust of his teammates.
"He protects the basket," Shouse said. "If we get beat off the dribble, he protects the basket. He and Mike (Ryce) are athletic enough to get rebounds. That takes pressure off of our guards because we can play tight defense and we know we have Mike and Ronnie back there to help us."
White has already set the program's all-time career blocks record, and on Saturday he showed improvement in his offensive game as well by scoring a career high 22 points.
After recording his second basket of the game to put DACC up 9-6, White missed his next four shot attempts. The cold stretch was soon forgiven, though, when he made his next 10 attempts, including four free throws. The stretch accounted for 16 of his points, and helped the Jaguars build a 22-point lead.
"I just owe it all to my teammates because they could have taken the shot themselves, but they saw I was posting up hard," White said. "If they hadn't passed me the ball, I wouldn't have been able to get my career high tonight.
"I just felt confident. I know I've got my team on my back, so as long as I just think about my family and know what I need to do, the flow just keeps going."
Shouse had a similar stretch in which he made four of six attempts en route to his 13 points. Shouse also had four assists. Whitehead scored 14 for the Jaguars, and Ryce finished with 12 points and four assists.
"We've had eight different leading scorers this year, Ronnie being the eighth," Carpenter said. "We have guys that any given night can step up and lead us in scoring. But none of our guys care. They're going to go to the hot hand, and we're going to continue moving the ball and playing together. That's what's making this run so much fun."
Three games remain on the Jaguars' schedule before the Region 24 tournament. They will play at Lincoln College (17-9, 3-2) on Wednesday and could potentially clinch the M-WAC title at home on February 23 against Lincoln Land (13-13, 0-6).
DACC's regular season finale will be on the road against John Wood (18-7, 5-2) which currently sits behind the Jaguars in second place. But they aren't looking too far ahead.
"We just take one game at a time," Shouse said. "We know that every night somebody wants to beat us. We got used to (knowing) every night someone wants to beat us and knock us off. We're humble with everything."

OK, so maybe the title is a bit misleading, but I thought that now would be the best time to start exploring the wants/needs of the team going forward to the NFL draft next April.
Put on your gm hats and let us know what you think are the 3 most pressing needs (besides the obvious Firing of Mike Singletary) for the 49ers to address through free agency and the draft.
I have my own ideas about what the team should do:
1) Draft a stud QB. I know how everyone is scared poopless about the failures of our last attempt (love you Alex), but we will not succeed in the NFL in this day and age without a legit stud QB. In determining who the best qbs in the draft are, we should consider accuracy to be the key factor.
2) Aggressively pursue and woo the top pass-rusher in Free Agency next off-season and switch from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3. Our defense has looked stellar at times this season, and I have seen the best results when the team has lined up 4 of our guys to rush straight up against their o-line. We have the size and speed to make the switch at lb, and I get excited thinking about the kind of year Justin Smith could have rushing the passer if he was given the opportunity to play pure end in a scheme with our free agent end, Franklin and Sopoaga.
3) Draft a defensive back who has ball skills. I think our record this year could be reversed if our defense had a playmaker in the secondary to balance the turnover battle. Look at how well the Seahawks and Chiefs are playingright now due to the contributions from Earl Thomas and Eric Berry.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Halloween is right around the corner and that means candy and costumes, but there are a few safety tips everyone should know before the holiday creeps up on them.
For homeowners participating in your local trick-or-treat, there's many tips that can help keep kids safe this Halloween. If you are expecting trick-or-treaters, remove obstacles from your lawn, porch or steps and make sure your front porch is well-lit.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services says to avoid candle-lit jack-o-lanterns if possible. They say if you do use candles, don't place them near curtains, furnishings, or decorations. They also say to move them off porches where children's costumes may ignite.
With costumes, DHS says people should choose costumes that are light-colored and more visible to motorists. They say you can use reflective tape to decorate costumes and candy bags to increase visibility of children to drivers.
DHS suggests children use make-up rather than a mask. They say if the costume includes a mask, parents should make sure it fits snugly and that the eye holes are large enough to allow full vision.
Children should wear well-fitting, sturdy shoes and their costumes should be short enough that they will not trip and fall.
DHS says when it comes to the treats, parents should instruct their children to wait until they are home to eat any candy. Parents should check candy and novelty toys for potential choking hazards and should make sure the packaging doesn't have any tears or tampering. DHS says to throw away anything that looks suspicious.
A few other safety reminders to parents are to participate in Halloween activities during the daylight hours, if possible and to remind children to only cross streets at crosswalks.
DHS says children should be accompanied by a responsible adult who has a flashlight and should not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.
Motorists should also be aware of trick-or-treaters. DHS says they should slow down and watch for children darting out from parked cars.
On 27 News at 5 we'll have Community Awareness Officer Jill Tutaj from the Middleton Police Department on to discuss Halloween safety.
Local trick-or-treat times:
Saturday, October 27
Sunday, October 28
Wednesday, October 31 (Halloween)

The sizzling Pittsburgh Pirates crushed the Reds last night 13-0, pulling within 2.5 games behind the Cards, as they were losing once again to the Padres. The Bucs, 20 games under .500 at the All Star break, seemed all but destined for a record 20th straight losing season, climbed to 72-70, continuing their remarkable cinderella second half season.
Manager Clint Hurdle isn't surprised. " We all knew we had the core talent and heart here in Pittsburgh". " I believe the turning point was the first game after the Break, when Rod Barajas lined a single down the rightfield line and then stole second and third. " You could see an immediate change in the dugout, you could see it in their eyes".
With twenty games remaining, the Pirates have a solid chance of not only finishing above .500, but the playoffs are now a real possibility. After a day off today, they roll into Wrigley to face the lowly Cubs. Pirate fever is spreading, in fact all remaining home games are nearly sold out. Clint Barmes, one of the sparkplugs behind the turnaround, perhaps put it best. " It all depends how you look at things".

It's not exactly "Batman arrests Joker", but it's close.
A man who left a note on the front door of a Polk deputy sheriff's residence after vandalizing the deputy's patrol car twice, vandalizing his personal vehicle and stealing items from both was arrested Friday. According to officials, the suspect also burglarized and vandalized another property in the area. The note on the front door read: "The Joker is here! Jokes on you, Bi***. ******!"
Matthew James Lash, 22, of Arrowhead Boulevard in South Lakeland is facing a list of charges including criminal mischief, petit theft, and firing a BB gun into a structure.
Deputies say Lash threw concrete blocks and concrete landscaping rocks at the patrol car early Tuesday morning causing $1,129 worth of damage shattering a window and stole a rechargeable Maglite flashlight from within the patrol car. Lash also broke out the windows of the deputy's personally owned pickup truck causing $1,769 worth of damages.
The second incident occurred early Friday morning. A man living in the same neighborhood reported that someone was attempting to open the sliding glass door into their bedroom. As the man started to investigate, someone,later determined to be Lash, threw a landscape rock through their Florida room sliding glass door causing $3,000 worth of damage. As the residents investigated further, they heard loud noises coming from the area of Matthew Lash's residence on Arrowhead Road. They also noticed that the deputy's driver's side window was broken out a second time.
Deputies arrived and found Lash out in the street with a bb-gun rifle; he was acting erratically. He was ordered back to his home but later came out with a box cutter. He was then taken into custody. The note was also found on the front door of the deputy's residence.
During interviews with Lash, he admitted to the vandalism and burglaries. He later told deputies that he was drinking, got angry, and that he holds no ill will towards the deputy.
"We take it very seriously when someone specifically targets a law enforcement officer at his home or at work," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. "When people target deputies and other public servants, they are targeting the community's public safety. We don't take it as a joke and we will make sure "The Joker" is held accountable for his actions."
Lash was transported to the Polk County Jail where he is being held on no bond pending first appearance.

Why Less is More in Graduate School (And Life In General)
Mark Levy shares a fascinating story in his book "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content". The story is about a coach named Robert Kriegel, who was training runners for the last few spots in the Olympics. After he noticed that the runners were tense, he performed an unusual experiment. Instead of telling them to try harder, he advised them to relax and run at about 90% of their normal speed. The results were amazing. Each runner ran faster than previously, and one of them set an unofficial world record!
How does this story apply to graduate school?
Let's think about the path of a typical graduate student. Most first-years are enthusiastic and committed to making the next big discovery or designing the most innovative tool of the century. By the time students enter their fifth year, however, they are itching to graduate. They try to work harder, but many of them have lost their motivation. What happened?
In graduate school it is easy to get caught in the work hard-burnout-fall behind cycle (see diagram). Students have such expectations from themselves (or maybe their supervisors do) that they try to give everything 110% until they are too exhausted to work anymore, and burn out. Repetitive strain injury from excessive typing is a perfect example. If you type so much that you injure your arms, you will probably need to take a break from typing for several weeks. This will actually set you back more than typing less (or slower) because then you would not need down-time. When you are caught in this hamster-wheel, you try to work beyond your limits to catch up, but in the end you make little progress and have no social life either.
When I wrote my thesis, someone advised me to submit it when I felt it was 95% done. If I expected it to be done 100%, I would never finish, because there is always more to do. Whether you work at 90% or 95% efficiency (which is subjective anyway), your mentality shifts immediately from the self-defeating "I always have to give everything 110%". Suddenly, you give yourself time to take a break, to talk to your friends and family, and to exercise, all of which foster creativity and enhance your productivity overall. You are now aiming for excellence instead of perfection, with the permission to make some mistakes and to learn from them.
This principle also applies to writing papers and dissertations. Writing blocks occur when we are afraid of making a mistake on paper so we write nothing instead. If you let your guard down and just start writing, the ideas will come. Set your timer to 30 minutes, start writing freely and you will be amazed at your own creativity!

Three Things Employers Want To Find Out About You During an Interview
After the hiatus in hiring during the summer, employers are once again posting job ads and leafing through piles of desperate resumes. The lucky candidates will get interviews either because they sent in an outstanding resume, or (more likely) an acquaintance got them through the door.
The initial excitement of landing an interview is sometimes dampened by the overwhelming preparation phase. Most PhD interviews include a 1-hour job talk followed by technical and behavioral interview questions. Technical questions are usually not the problem. We were trained in graduate school, and possibly during a postdoctoral fellowship, to answer tough research questions. The behavioral questions, on the other hand, can make candidates nervous especially if they did not practice the answers in advance. With so many types of interview questions, who can be prepared for all of them?
Rather than trying to memorize answers to all possible interview questions under the sun, remember the following truism: Employers hire people to solve problems. The purpose of the interview is to find out whether you are the solution to the employer's problems. In today collaborative environment, solving a problem translates into more than just technical expertise. You will need to demonstrate your ability to work in teams, and also motivate other people. While the list of possible interview questions is endless, most of them fall into the following three categories.
1) Do you have the necessary technical expertise?
2) Do you work well in teams both as a contributor and as a leader?
3) Do you fit into the work environment? (e.g. work hours and collaborative vs. competitive environment)
Many interviewers are friendly and will make light conversation with you. While it is acceptable to relax a little bit, keep most of your answers relevant to the job. In particular, when the interviewer asks you "Tell me about yourself", summarize your technical background that led you on this career path. Also let them know about your experience in mentoring and working in teams, even if they are not directly related to work (e.g. volunteering, student organizations).
Also make sure you send a follow-up email within a week after your interview, to thank the interviewers for their time, and reinforce how you can contribute to their organization.

Five Keys to Staying Motivated in Graduate School
Earlier this week I was driving on the highway and noticed that the traffic was much heavier than usual. When I mentioned this observation to a friend, she remarked, "Yeah, traffic is always heavy on the first day of school after Labor Day, but then it gets lighter later on. I guess people stop going to school or work." We both laughed, but I suddenly realized that this pattern was thoroughly familiar to me.
In my freshman year in college, I took Calculus in a 400 person lecture hall (I know many of you readers can relate) and it was packed on the first day of classes. The numbers dwindled gradually, as did the attention span of the remaining students. In graduate school it is a little more difficult to keep track of everyone's whereabouts, because students can be in classes, libraries or doing research in a laboratory. Yet, the gradual decrease in attendance is still noticeable.
Why does enthusiasm peak at the beginning of the semester and then die off gradually? I believe that one of the biggest challenges in graduate school is staying motivated, day after day, for many years. Graduate students often feel like victims, due to a lack of guidance and emotional support. What can you do to boost your motivation? There is an excellent book I read in graduate school called "The Now Habit" by Neil Fiore. The title is quite catchy as is, and Fiore summarizes how our self-talk can influence motivation. In essence, in order to be more productive (and graduate sooner), one needs to be move from a "victim" mentality to a "producer" mentality. If you can change the following five most common negative though patterns to positive ones, you will be much more effective and happier too.
"I have to": This is very typical of "victim-thinking" and will make you feel like you are forced to do something. It is true that you might not want to do every project, but going to graduate school was your choice. You decided to pursue a Ph.D. because you wanted to. Thus, while you might not enjoy every moment of it, replace "I have to" with "I choose to."
- "I must finish": For various reasons, many of us feel a rush to graduate. Some students really do need to graduate by a certain deadline due to financial issues or family obligations. Other students become fed up with disappointments and just want to "get out." When you encounter these negative feelings, think about the next project which needs to completed and ask yourself: "When can I start?"
- "This is so big": A doctoral dissertation is a big project, but to my knowledge nobody finished it in one day. A common reason that people procrastinate, is that perceive their project as too overwhelming to even start. Instead of focusing on how complicated your project is, brainstorm about how you can break it down into small parts (small accomplishments can be as simple as reading a paper, asking your advisor some questions, or organizing your lab notebook) and tell yourself: "I can take one small step."
- "It must be perfect": This type of thinking immediately sets you up for disappointment. Instead, determine realistic expectations. What are the important things that must be accomplished in your thesis? Can these goals be accomplished within a reasonable amount of time? If you accomplish them, will you satisfy the requirements for a Ph.D.? When you realize that you are driving yourself beyond your limits, remind yourself that: "I can be human"
- "I don't have time to play". The truth is thatthe best time to take a break is when you feel the most overwhelmed. I did not believe this advice initially, but later I realized that if I took some time to relax (a few minutes, maybe even an hour) during the busiest times, my minds would automatically come up with solutions to creatively resolve problems. Therefore, when you feel that you are too busy to take a break, remember that "I must take time to play."
My favorite one is #3, "I can take one small step". It is tempting to put off big projects, but once you make that first initial step, you will get the momentum going and possibly finish quicker than expected. Remember the Woody Allen quote, "80 percent of success is just showing up"? While he did not go to graduate school, he is a millionaire and a very successful film director. I too found this quote to be quite true in my academic and professional life, and I am reminded of it when I face challenging situations.

Getting Your Feet Wet in Academia with Adjunct Positions
A few years ago I met Jenny (not her real name) at a friend's BBQ party. Jenny was the mother of two young children and an Adjunct Professor in the Humanities. "How do you like your job?" I asked her. "Well, it has its ups and downs," she said. "I love working part-time as a Mom, but I get paid very little. Plus, I always have to look for new positions." Overall, Jenny was satisfied with her job. Her friends who held tenure-track positions worked much longer hours than she could have imagined for her lifestyle as a parent, and she enjoyed teaching very much.
Adjunct positions are usually not the top priority career paths for PhD's because they offer low salaries and are not permanent. Yet, many PhD's apply for adjunct positions because of the flexible schedule and the teaching experience that come with the job. If you interested in testing the waters in academia and developing your classroom proficiency, begin with the following:
- Talk to your adviser, professors in your department, as well as alumni to help you decide which institutions to apply for and which ones to avoid,
- Discuss teaching opportunities with your career services office,
- Think about the types of institution and the courses you are interested in, and
- Look at job postings in the online resources at the end of this post.
The end of the school year is usually a good time to look for adjunct positions, because that is when many universities look to fill positions for the upcoming semester. Adjunct positions do open up during the school year as well, and if you submit your C.V. mid-term, the department will keep it on file until something opens up. Since adjunct faculty are paid less than full-time faculty, schools with tight budgets and expanding enrollments are more likely to hire them. You might find also openings in evening and weekend continuing education programs, and possibly museums and local libraries too. If you have no teaching experience, you can still outline your course plan in your application, and highlight your public speaking experience.
The Adjunct Advocate is an excellent online magazine with job listings, blogs, forums, and online tools. I have also listed other online resources, as well as a link to an excellent article by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Watch the Boat Propeller
- An obvious danger to this sport is the participant's proximity to the boat propeller, which raises concern in itself. But the silent danger comes in as this is the area of the boat that is filled with potentially deadly carbon monoxide, which is tasteless and odorless, and more and more people are dying as a result on inhaling the fumes. And to add to the problem, teak surfing participants rarely wear life preservers because they can be uncomfortable and even inhibit one's ability to surf a wake. Add all of those elements together and you can see how easily someone could drown.
CO Poisoning
- According to the Naval Safety Center, "The symptoms of CO poisoning may include severe headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, fainting, and death. Low levels can cause shortness of breath, mild nausea, and a mild headache. Low levels are more dangerous in the boating environment because they can lead to drowning. Carbon-monoxide poisoning may not be suspected immediately because the symptoms are similar to those of people with the flu, food poisoning, or other illnesses. If you suspect CO poisoning, immediately get the victim to fresh air and seek medical care."
"Many victims who survive have permanent brain damage. Anyone in the water without a PFD who is rendered unconscious will drown immediately." states the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection web site. View a graphic rendering of someone teak surfing.

Loosing to a good team is OK, it happens always, but what the kittens with the defensive/looser mentality and the play calling.
For example we are 3rd and 13, and Schaub gets the ball, there is no pressure on him and he looks around a few times and throws it to the ground. WTF??? Why not scramble a little and try to see whether one of the guys down-field would get open? Why not try and run towards the side line and try to get a few more yards so that there is a chance, a chance of a 4th down play? Where as Rogers would scramble and escape pressure and make a throw for a completion our guy would rather throw it in the rough even with no pressure.
Also, why give up and play yates when there is 6 minutes left on the clock and we are only behind by 18 points. WTF? If it was any other team they would have given a try for 2 touch downs and a field goal. I mean, 2 TDs in 6 minutes is not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. You are going to loose anyways, why not try?
And also what's with the play calling? When are we ever going to "use" Casey? When are we ever going to try and get foster downfield matched up with a LB?
I think the last few games softned us up. See how the Pack played even when they were 2 scores ahead. They made big throws, they took chances. When ever we go ahead by even a score we would always go all conservative. I think all that conservative playcalling has made us inept at playing attacking offense and when we need such attacking offence (like today) we go all numb and soft. YIKES!!!!
