Rose, Sugar will host 1st semifinals in playoffBy RALPH D. RUSSO
the associated press | January 09,2013KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. The first semifinal games in the new college football playoff system will be played in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015.
The BCS conference commissioners announced the dates and rotation for all 12 years of the upcoming postseason format after a meeting in Key Biscayne on Monday, the day after the BCS championship game in Miami.
It was not a one-year decision, it had to be a 12-year decision, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said. Calendar issues, days of rest. Sugar and Rose were paired together because of the days of rest since they are playing the same day.
Whether they are hosting a semifinal or just a marquee bowl game, the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl will always be played on Jan. 1, or Jan. 2 in years in which New Years Day falls on a Sunday. In the eight years in which the Rose and Sugar do not host the semifinals, the four playoff teams will kick off on New Years Eve or Saturday, Dec. 30.
Either way there will be a triple-header of major college football games, two semifinals and four other marquee bowl games, on New Years Eve and New Years Day starting from the 2014 season to the 2025 season.
Those days will belong to college football, Hancock said.
The Rose Bowl will also be the site of the last BCS championship game on Jan. 1, 2014.
The site of the first championship game in the new system is still to be picked, though Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, seems to be the front-runner. The title games will always be played on Mondays, at least seven days after the semifinals. The first one will be played Jan. 12, 2015.
The earliest the championship game will be played is Monday, Jan. 7, 2019.
The latest the championship game will be played is Jan. 13, and that will happen twice, in 2020 and 2025.
In the second year of the playoff, the Orange Bowl will host a semifinal on Dec. 31, 2015, along with one of three other sites still to be determined.
The preference is to have three more sites in three times zones, and they are expected to be Atlanta (Chick-fil-A Bowl), Arlington, Texas (Cotton Bowl) and Glendale, Ariz. (Fiesta).
Hancock said the commissioners are on track to have those sites locked in by the end of their late April meetings in Pasadena. The site for the first championship game is expected to be chosen sooner.
This was really a basic meeting, Hancock said. The balls that are still in the air are the (selection) committee, protocol and structure, what were going to call it.
It was a year ago in New Orleans that the commissioners had what was the first meeting that led to the end of the BCS as we know it and the implementation of the four-team playoff.
When we met this date last year in New Orleans we all knew that we were going to embark on a very significant review and potential restructuring, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive said.
With the calendar set, the sites coming into focus, the next big issue left is the selection committee.
I think April will be the action month in a lot of respects, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said.
The concept the commissioners are working with is about 18 people, mostly current college sports administrators, such as conference commissioners and athletic directors.
Every conference and independent in major college football would be represented.
Delany said he hopes that by requiring the committee to emphasize strength of schedule it will force programs to rethink some of those cupcake games that inflate records. And that a couple of losses against good teams wont necessarily eliminate a team from playing in the four-team playoff
It certainly has evolved in mens basketball, he said. Everybody who is 20-10 doesnt get to the tournament. I think the new committee is sort of important to reinforce that. What they do in the first two, three, four years is going to really determine the messages that are being sent. The basketball committee has consistently sent the message that who you play and who you beat is more important than the record.MORE IN Wire SportsBURLINGTON-Evan Singletary drained a fade-away 3-pointer with 1.

I know organic feeding schedules have been discussed a ton on this forum, but I'm trying to figure out one that works best for my conditions. Though, I have a few things in question right now. I have a North East Ohio lawn, with 100% KBG and full sun. 1. My lawn is low on iron. I want to stay away from milogranite. The only organic source of chelated iron I know of is greensand. If a keep applying greensand after so many times (only when it's tested low), won't that result in changing the conditions of my soil to be too sandy? Is there any other organic source of iron other than using the direct extract? Or does the greensand somehow break down? My parents do have an Indian spring I can go get water from, that is extremely loaded with iron (makes for a good skin irritant and orange mud), which would be kind of time consuming to barrel it up and transport it. 2. I've heard several mentions that corn meal helps with fungal control, especially snow mold? How true is this? Should I add it in to my rotation and when should I apply it to get these benefits? I know it can't hurt, the only disadvantage is finding the stuff. 3. I plan on using Corn Gluten Meal as a pre-emergent. The only advice I have been able to find of when to apply it in my weather is Mar 15th and Sep 15th. Can anyone confirm this? 4. Does my lawn even need Phosphorus? If it does, is Soybean meal enough to meet those needs? 5. How good of an idea is it to use Granite meal as my "winterization" application? To help promote root growth with it's Potassium source? 6. Soybean meal will be my default fertilizer, but when should I know how often or when I should apply it? I have a ton of soil tests easily available, is there an optimal Nitrogen level I should shoot for and how often should I test for it? |

What do you have against Milorganite? |
I don't have a problem with Milorganite. The deer in my neighborhood have a problem with Milorganite. |
Milorganite is used by many to keep deer, and others, away from plants, so in addition to feeding plants it would be useful here too. Iron is a micro nutrient. Plants need it in very small quantities and most often it is not available to plants because of the soil pH. The nutrients that things such as Greensand have become available to plants because the Soil Food Web converts them and the Soil Food Web needs organic matter in the soil to function. Most often if adequate amounts of organic matter are in the soil so will the nutrients plants need to grow strong and healthy. A study, done at Texas A & M, seemed to indicate that corn meal could aid in controlling some types of fungi. However, others have not been able to replicate that. Corn Gluten Meal needs to be applied about 6 weeks before the unwanted seeds will be germinating. For many that might mean applying it about the time Forsythia are beginning to blossom. Michigan has severely restricted the use of Phosphorus in lawn fertilizers because of the build up of toxic algae in lakes because of the vast amounts of P that enter the water. I know the Ohio legislature was looking to do the same but do not know if they have. Check with the people at your local Ohio State Universities Cooperative Extension Service. The only way to know if your lawn needs any nutrients is by having a good reliable soil test done. Granite meal must be worked on by the Soil Food Web for the nutrients to become available to the plants. The Soil Food Web needs adequate levels of organic matter in the soil to properly function and adequate levels of organic matter In the soil will supply the nutrients needed without adding materials mined from far away. Soybeans are one of the most Genetically Engineered crops out there today and should be unacceptable to any organic grower. I would use soybean meal only if I could find some organically grown. |

You will be hard pressed to find quantitative answers. Amounts of nutrients and their resulting effects are commonly identified, even in research, as sufficient, insufficient, low, high, excessive, etc. Likely this is due to the variety of variables involved: type of turf, soil, rainfall, Edit: temperaturel End Edit and the highly transient characteristics of some nutrients like nitrogen. However, somehow, or maybe consequently, recommendations based on soil analysis are made to adjust to a specific range. Anyway, phosphorus is necessary for production of DNA, plant cells and plant metabolism. Optimal nitrogen is one of my favorite questions. Anytime I have asked degreed turf horticulturalist and turf managers that question, the answer is that it is determined by Edit:"maximum growth rate model" The model is location and turf dependent. Basically it is just a "guide" based on collected data by the individual user. google Micah Wood End Edit. LoL Hope that helps in some way. Edit: For us pedestrians, the only quantitative recommendations for nitrogen are those supplied by university turf programs for home lawns. e.g. one pound of nitrogen applied in the months of X, Y and Z. End Edit You are accurate that potassium in "sufficient" levels improves root growth, water retention, and turf tolerance to heat and cold. |

Excess Nitrogen and Phosphorus are known, and have been shown, to flow out of soils with the excess water and not only enter our ground water where they pollute, Nitrates in our drinking water and toxic algae growth in our lakes and ponds, slowly poisoning us. The only means to know what the soil under your feet need to grow a good healthy turf is to have periodic soil tests done and look at the soil so you can adjust what you are doing to provide that soil with what it needs. That also makes economic sense since you are not spending your money on what you do not need. |

All good, but the OP asks: " is there an optimal Nitrogen level I should shoot for and how often should I test for it? " |
Because Nitrogen availability to plants is very dependent on the activity of the Soil Food Web, which is dependent on soil temperature, few soil test labs today test for Nitrogen. Work at making the soil into a good healthy soil and there will be adequate, but not in excess, amounts of all nutrients in balance available to those plants. |

No matter what happens or whatever challenges occur, plants keep growing. It grows everyday, little by little, steadily. Sometimes it may not grow as fast as it should, due to lack of nourishment in some form, but it keeps growing. It does everything it can until the nourishment helps it blossom into full grown trees. Just like plants, people like you and me also keep growing. There will be challenges along the way. Before you know it, we'll be blooming into happy and healthy beings.

OK well my sister is 18 weeks pregnant with a child that was said to never have been possible to have to start with. So today she goes in to get her cervix stitched up because it was rapidly decreasing in size. She has has two spouts of cervical cancer and defeated both, but the surgeries left her a little hurt down there.
The doctors told her today after the surgery was supposed to happen that they could not perform the surgery and that she was loosing the rest of her cervix which is now at 1.6, and that if she doesnt hold the baby until atleast 24 weeks she is going to miscarry. She wants this child more than anything and I am praying for her, and hope you all will keep her in your prayers as well

"More" as in "I have more data on it"? Or "More" as in "I use that storage medium more often"? Nowadays, most people use SSDs more often than spinning disks, on their tablets/smartphones; but they're more likely to have much more data on spinning media.

AFAIK, you can't download and install it on your phone. A given carrier / manufacturer must talk to them, then they'll tailor the OS to a model, and then the users who buy that specific model can get Ubuntu. This is not a product for the end users, but a way for manufacturers to add value to their handsets.
Nokia is dead (105 comments)
They had the dominant smartphone OS AND the dominant dumbphone OS. They had an experimental high end, Linux-based OS that was almost ready to retake the top spot in mindshare. They had the best development tools, which would allow one to target those 3 OSs simultaneously. And they were developing this new Linux-based dumbphone OS that would be created around those tools.
Now they have Windows Phone.
Re:What a bunch of bullshit (349 comments)
Actually, if this graph is to be trusted, it's very far from an exponential growth. You can see two breaks: one at about -5000, where the population started growing; and one at about 1700, where the growth rate increased dramatically. Also a hint for another, more recent break (~1950?), where the growth rate increased again. (Note for the mathematically impaired: an exponential growth means a straight line in a log graphic. You can divide this graphic in 3-4 different straight lines, so you have 3-4 different growth rates at different points in time)
Re:For the last F*CKING time... (104 comments)
Updating a Galaxy is impossible (bar rooting) without OTA updates which are Carrier Specific. Should your carrier not be bothered with a phone/tablet that they offered 9 months ago you will never get updates regardless of whether every other carrier in the world has an update.
Actually, it's NOT impossible. Search for "Odin", and get the firmware files in
Re:If consumers didn't want big phones (660 comments)
Asking for a 2.3'' touchscreen is nuts. I'm asking for a 4-4.3'' high end phone. Even a Galaxy SII (arguably the best of last year's dual cores) isn't 100% lag-free, the browser could be faster, the resolution isn't impressive anymore (they could use a DPI similar to the Galaxy Nexus, or even bigger, and have a qHD/720p screen on 4.3 inches). I want the phone to fit well in my pockets; when I use it, I can handle the "small" (which was considered "huge" only 2 years ago) screen. It's not like I can't see individual pixels on the current screen.
I'd rather have the same screen resolution with a high DPI in a reasonable (4-4.5'') screen size than with a low DPI in a huge (5-6'') screen.
Re:Bigger != Better (660 comments)
Yes, I know... Now, read it again.
Re:Bigger != Better (660 comments)
Murphy's Law applies to the other post above:
No, for "prefect". Which is a word, but not the same as "prefect", which is what OP probably meant to type.
Re:If consumers didn't want big phones (660 comments)
The point is: if you want a high end smartphone AND you don't want a 4.5+ inch screen, what are your options? What quad-core Android comes in such form factor?
Re:Yes...the iPhone 4 and 4S look horribly dated (8 comments)
I have a tablet to surf the web, watch video, read PDFs, etc. I want my phone to be portable; I want to use it to do those things when I'm in a hurry, or confined places, or in places where it would be unwise to pick up a huge tablet. It must be portable, I must be able to use its screen single-handed, on the subway for example. I can't use the whole screen of a 5 inch phone single handed, not comfortably at least. The iPhone is actually too small, and too restricted to be useful IMHO.
Now, you want a fully featured, 5-6 inch phone; when the Note 2 arrives, you may get what you want (or, if you want it even bigger, look at the Galaxy Tab 7.7'', its simply amazing as a tablet and works as a phone as well). I want a fully featured, 4-4.3 inch phone. What are my options now? Just the Meizu MX 4-core, and its iPhone-like OS and resolution mean I won't buy it. Where can I find a smaller, quad-core phone with hardware and software similar to the Galaxy S3?
Re:it's subjective, you idiots (8 comments)
Yes, that's the point. Form factor is subjective, each person likes something different. However, hardware isn't subjective. Why do I have to choose between a good form factor or good hardware? Why can't I have a 4.0-4.3'', high DPI AMOLED screen with quad core CPU and good GPU? Because right now, you can either have top-notch hardware OR the form factor that was considered "high end" just last year.
And what about hardware keyboards? Or flip smartphones? You can find them, yes, but only with sub-par hardware, and most are from last year and still running Android 2.x. Is that "catering for the users' needs"?
Re:Thank you for posting this (8 comments)
My case isn't as extreme as that. I have a Galaxy S2, and before getting it I thought I'd find the screen too big, but it actually fits my hand very, very well. I can write a quick message while walking on the street using a single hand without any problems. That size (4.3'') and below works perfectly for my hands. It also fits well in my pocket.
I used an HTC Titan (4.7''), and I hated it. The screen is big enough that, to type single-handed, I need to place the phone uncomfortably over my fingers, not my palm. It didn't work for me.
Now, if I look at the market, all the phones I'd consider an upgrade over the S2 have gigantic screens. One X, Galaxy S3, Optimus 4X, all are 4.7''+. The only quad-core phone under that size is the Meizu MX 4-core, with that weird screen resolution and weirder iPhone-like OS.
The point is: there is a market for different form factors than the current trend, and the manufacturers aren't listening to it. You want an Android flip phone. I want a smaller screened phone with all the bells and whistles. Some people want a good-spec'd phone with a sliding keyboard. Others may want a BlackBerry/Treo/Nokia E71 form factor. Or even something like the Nokia E70. We used to have options when we went shopping for a high end smartphone; now the options are "an iPhone, or an assorted variety of huge-screened Android slabs" (or Windows Phone, but that's not an option anymore until WP8 comes out). Why can't the manufacturers give us the choice anymore?

Use the full equation:
E = (mc) + (pc).
If p=0 (p is the momentum; so if you're at rest, p=0), E=mc.
If m=0 (the case for photons, for example), E=pc.
If neither p nor m are zero, E = sqrt(E0^2 + (pc)^2), where E0=mc^2 is the rest energy.

I don't have experience with Hog Peanut, so I won't comment on that one. Trumpet Honeysuckle is a great vine for your region - probably the least aggressive spreader of the bunch, and also probably nearly evergreen, which is nice in the winter. It is a twining vine that needs something of small diameter - like a wire fence, bushes, small pole, string, etc. - to climb. It cannot climb a shed wall. Virgina Bower does tend to be aggressive, I think. I have never grown it, but see it wild frequently. In my opinion it isn't as nice a vine for the garden as Trumpet Honeysuckle. I have a ton of Virginia Creeper here, and have never heard about the berries being poisonous. I wouldn't be concerned about the berries, which are a favorite food of many birds. Virginia Creeper is a little aggressive, as are most vines. Another choice I like is trumpet creeper - Campsis radicans. This is an agressive spreader, but has very showy flowers most of the summer and fall and attracts hummingbirds, making it a really nice addition to a yard that has roon for it. If the shed is surrounded by lawn or other open space where it will be easy to contain the root suckers of Trumpet Creeper, then it sould be my first choice. Another option is Carolina jessamine,which has yellow flowers in early spring. Also Cross Vine, which is another flowering vine. Jessamine is a vigorous, evergreen vine. Cross vine tends to be a little more sparse in growth habit, but is an interesting addition to the yard. |
Thanks so much for the suggestions ladyslppr! I really like the Campsis radicans a lot. Our neighbor has "Flava" (yellow blooms), and it looks quite healthy, so I think the original native species with the salmon-colored blooms would do well in our clay soil. There is lawn surrounding the area where we would plant it, so I think we could just mow the root suckers. I don't know much about Hog Peanut either, but I know it grows wild in a nature preserve near us. After doing some research, I'm pretty sure the insect infestation on this grape is Grape Phylloxera. I'm getting the feeling this grape is some kind of foreign grape, possibly intentionally planted by the previous owner of our house. I will take some more photos and see if I can identify it. Not looking forward to stripping the grape off the shed, but it will be satisfying to "re-vegetate" with a native, if indeed the grape is non-native. Thanks again. |
Update: I posted some more photos of this vine on the "Name That Plant" forum and someone on there thinks it may be a Heartleaf peppervine (Ampelopsis cordata). I looked it up and it does sound very similar to this vine. So, I won't be able to eradicate it since it turns out it's probably a native. Hopefully, the phylloxera or whatever insect is infesting it won't come back again next year! In the meantime, I'm going to plan on planting some of these other suggestions for native vines in a different area once it's springtime again. Thanks again! |
Look into the American native wisteria (Wisteria fructescens) it has lovely flowers , nice scent and is not nearly as aggressive as Chinese wisteria. George |

Hi, I have together with some colleagues built a 25 gallon brew set-up. The main concept was to have a large "pot" with a smaller basket inside to hold the malt. We then have a pump to recirculate the wort during mashing/lautering. We started out trying to brew a wheat beer but from the second we started recirculating the mash was stuck... I know that there can be several causes for this, and one of them could be the recirculation rate. Our pump gives a flow of ~250 gallon/hour and that is probably way too much... I have found this article http://brewingtechniques.com/library....4/palmer.html which gives me a max recirculation rate of 1/4 gallon/minute. The diameter of my "basket" is 15 inch. I would like to know what recirculation rate you experienced RIMS/HERMS brewers use? Thanks! Jess Denmarkwww.kohbl.dk
I recirculate with my ball valve on the pump about half way open. I can go full open also without sticking the mash. Im trying to figure out how you have a basket inside of a pot and recirculate. Im having trouble picturing that. I brew 25 gallon batches also and I just use stainless braid in my mash tun and have never had a stuck mash. The only reason I don't let my pump go full speed is because my HERMS wouldn't be as efficient. If you could post a pic of your set up it would help.
Can I get a parts list at least?
*weep* *sniff* it's so beautiful... *sniff, sniff* What the heck do you ferment in? There is no way I would use 5 carboys per batch, you have a 30 gal Conical fermenter or something? And where do all of us non-pool-guy-knowing people get our hands on those 30 gal pool filter canisters? *FROTHS AT MOUTH* MAN! The way the lids slide open, is that the way they are or was that something you did?
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's as good as they're going to feel all day." -Dean Martin
I have found these pictures that I hope illustrate the way our sytem is built: The bottom of the "basket" is a perforated SS plate. I can only agree, that your system looks amazing! What is the diameter of your lauter tun? We are building a conical SS fermentor so we dont need all the buckets. /Jess
Hi folks... I hate to revive dead threads... but... does anyone have a recommended recirculation rate? My pumps does 2 GPM max.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / [Query] Average first ascension time? (You can help!)
First ascension: Current version 1.663; Date late august (Although it was recent I don't remember the exact day) 2014;
Ascension completed May 2nd I think… roughly 2 1/2 weeks. Game time 13004 minutes
(IIRC but it was in the vicinity of 9 days in the 13000's of minutes, 9 days = 12980 minutes) same version.
Keep in mind this was my second first ascension so I knew of all of the multipliers, I played a year ago. A faster time is possible, but I went to lv 9001; It took an extra 16hrs for the last 500B xp
I also wasn't vigilantly trying for a fast time, I was unaware of the fact that it was fast until I entered the chat room… I didn't enter chat until after the ascension, thus the large doubt of the ascension time.
At the time of ascension I only collected roughly 32k Idle rewards… so as you can see, most of that was from the idlebot card; and the rest of it was strictly anti-idling as the game name suggests.

Restauration Cox Un an et demi de travail
Bug Restoration (Official Full Version) VW Bug Restoration, from beginning to end!
132777 / 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/caj7rvk This incredibly cool 1973 Super Beetle is the perfect car for a budget-minded collector or someone who is new to the hobby. Sporting a vivid coat of brilliant blue paint, this fully sorted and completely road ready '73 Super Beetle is fresh out of a ground up restoration which likely cost twice as much as we're asking for it. The restorers began by stripping the car down to its bare floor pan and fully prepping and rebuilding the body. Once the body was aligned to better than factory standards, it was disassembled and evenly covered in two-stage basecoat/clearcoat paint. The end result is a very clean, well-aligned bug with a smooth finish and outstanding appearance that will provide years of worry-free fun. Powering this sharp '73 Super Beetle is the cars original dual port 1600 cc air cooled, flat four cylinder, which upon its introduction in 1971 made a bristling 50 horsepower. Completely rebuilt during the cars restoration, it runs beautifully with that famous and distinctive VW sound, and will likely putter along forever with a minimum of fussing and tuning. At the top of the engine, a mirror-like air cleaner feeds air to a new Bocar one barrel carburetor. To the left of that carburetor, a Bosch coil supplies a traditional points distributor that's equipped with Bosch plug wires. And to the right of that carburetor, a chrome generator sits above a body-matched oil filler tube and chrome dipstick. At the back of the engine, a Claudes Buggies ignition system is affixed to the cars blue firewall, and in front of the engine, a new belt snakes around blue Scat pulleys and an aluminum Scat tensioner. Exhaust is handled by fresh VW branded headers; and, like the rest of the car, the entire engine bay has been restored to show quality standards. Take one look underneath this VW and you'll see just how much work went into its complete, nut and bolt restoration. Both the front and rear suspensions have obviously been completely rebuilt and feature fresh bushings, fresh shocks and an aftermarket anti-sway bar. At the front of the car, new disc brakes are equipped with fresh hardware and new pads, and at the back of the car, rebuilt drum brakes are outfitted with fresh hoses. Power flows from the motor into a 4-speed manual transmission which turns four chrome EMPI eight spoke wheels that are wrapped in 175R15 Nanking front and 205/75R15 Republic Ensign rear radials. The bottom of this Beetle is spotless and looks spectacular with all-new stainless hardware holding together straight and solid floors which display a great looking coat of gloss black paint. Pop open the door and you'll find a completely custom blue LED lit interior which features a $2K sound system and is the perfect spot to spend the afternoon cruising. The driver and front passenger enjoy firm Procar by Scat buckets, rear occupants ride on a custom covered bench and all passengers are secured with new, correct lap belts. At the front of the car, a new for 1973 padded dash shows no warping or fading and, with the exception of an MP3 compatible Alpine CD player, features the same minimalist readouts and accessories found in all Beetles. Below the seats, brand new black carpet lies under custom kick panels that have been outfitted with large Infinity Reference speakers and a chrome EMPI trigger shifter. At the sides of the seats, completely painted door jams and window frames contrast well to custom two-tone door panels which feature new armrests, billet window cranks and billet lock knobs. Above the seats a thick and tight custom headliner stretches from door to door and leads the eye to a reworked package tray which has been professionally upholstered and houses two more massive Infinity Reference speakers. In front of the driver, a familiar Grant GT steering wheel makes good use of the cars reduced turning radius, and in front of the cockpit, a spacious, by Beetle standards, fully restored front hatch holds a horizontal spare tire. If you're looking for fun, practical transportation, this fully sorted Super Beetle looks awesome and is ready to go.

Students from Govt. and tribal schools get to know about latest gadgets
Friday proved to be their window to the virtual world. Students from rural Government and tribal schools went online, for what was possibly their first time. They also got to see the latest in touch-based technology such as i-pad, tablet, and smart phones, and learnt to use the same for educational purposes.
All this happened at the third and final day, "Vikasa", which was organised for students from Standards VIII to Standard XI at the second edition of the Amrita International Conference on Women in Computing, hosted by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
The children, from the remote corners of the city and from the borders of the forest area, got to operate the systems with the help of some student volunteers.
The organisers used the services of the staff of CREATE (Center for Research in Advanced Technologies for Education) of the university, based on their Amritapuri campus in Kerala to demonstrate the hardware and software to the students.
As many as 250 students from 18 Government schools located in rural areas, and tribal schools, went through the novel experience.
One of the resource persons from CREATE, K.S. Sudheer, who oriented the students, said the awareness among students was quite good.
"Though they have not seen and handled tablets and i-pads and gone online, they are aware of the gadgets and the internet. We have given them a feel of the gadgets, taught them to access the Internet for education content, and also taught them the basics of programming. Infrastructure in the Government schools is not suited for catering for ICT-based education for all students," he said.
CREATE was focusing on education content for schools and also planned to extend their expertise to offering this content in a few Indian languages.
K. Gayathri, student from Government Tribal Residential High School in Muttathuvayal, along with her classmates, was among the many who were awed by the technologies shown to them. She had seen personal computers, but not the sophisticated gadgets she got to see and the functions they could perform.
They also got to witness some gaming programmes, developed by the students of the Department, and got some hands-on time on computers too.
R. Maria, a teacher of the Government Girls' Higher Secondary School, Thondamuthur, said that though the students in the middle school had syllabus on computer science, it was all theory-based.
"Most of the Government schools have computer laboratories only for students in the higher secondary sections. The practical session that was handled here today was very useful for the middle school students," she said.
Besides the sessions, working models under the theme "Scientific solutions for energy, water and environment protection" were displayed by students from urban schools. They also got to display their computing skills at a multimedia competition held for them.

Hi, I am planning on applying to the upcoming Lonestar RN program. Applications open January 16, 2013, is anyone else out there applying? I will be applying with a score of 10.98, it is low but I... Read More
0Feb 4, '13 by Jessi29Also dose anyone know if it messes you up if you already turned in your hard copy app, but then decided to change your 1st choice campuses. Im hoping as long as you resbmit your hard copy information again to the new campus it should be ok hopefully?Last edit by Jessi29 on Feb 4, '13
0Feb 5, '13 by HemcdougallWelcome to the forum Jessi29! As far as changing your first choice campus and resubmitting your app I am not sure about. I have seen on past forums people resubmitting hard copies because of retaking the Hesi, I would just ask your first choice campus! Your score is definitely high enough to get into Montgomery! I think you would get into any campus with that score! Another user posted the cut off's for Montgomery last application period were 11.2 - 11.4. I am not sure why you can only choose 2 campuses, I could only choose 2 at first and then I logged back on a few days later and was able to choose 4. I ranked my choices Cyfair, Tomball, North Harris, and Montgomery in that order. I live right next to Cyfair and am hoping to make the alternate list with my 10.9 score, I feel 75% positive I will at least make it at North Harris!
About a month until Applications close! Long wait but we will make it! -
0Feb 5, '13 by Jessi29I actually got a phone call from the nursing director today and apparently when the application first open online there was a 20 min glitch. So they fixed everything for me and now my first choice is Montgomery then Tomball, cyfair and north Harris! Now we play the waiting game! Good luck to you as well!

"I absolutely loved this recipe. I'm a vegetarian so I left out the meat but it was excellent! Will definitely make again. supposed to cook the zucchini. I ended up steaming it, "
"Amazing. On Thanksgiving, all 14 of us had two slices of apple pie - one using this recipe, one using real sugar. We picked the one using Splenda. Great recipe!"
"This is my favourite recipe for hummous. It's so simple and yet I think it's the tastiest I've ever had. Also tastes good when using black beans in place of chickpeas."
"Great basic pancake that you can easily experiment with or just leave plain. My favourite thing to add is blueberries and then garnish with powdered sugar."
"Mmmmmm, my favourite pancakes. I submitted a correction, but it hasn't been posted yet: the recipe should say 1 1/4 cup soy milk, not just 1/4 cup! Other than that, this is my favourite pancake recipe. Delicious if you use vanilla soy milk in place of some (I haven't tried replacing all of it with the vanilla variety, though) of the soy milk."
"Wonderful recipe, although whenever I make it I always change it somehow - add in peppers, tomatoes, soy cheese, or use it for vegan eggs benedict or breakfast sandwiches. PS - Bragg's Liquid Aminos is a soy sauce substitute. It tastes the same (not any stronger) but is calorie-free and much lower in sodium (5% USDA daily recommendation per serv..."

Call for cost-effective farming and marketing facilities
: The Union government's Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has recommended an increase in the minimum support price (MSP) for copra by Rs.150 a quintal. The revised rates for milling copra and ball copra will be Rs.5,250 and Rs.5,500 a quintal respectively. The Ministry of Agriculture had reportedly sought an increase of Rs.250 a quintal.
The government move is intended to provide a helping hand to the farmer, but only a coordinated approach to facilitate cost-effective farming and marketing would be able to make a real impact in the lives of farmers. The hike will hardly make an impact on the income of the ordinary coconut farmer, said P.G.K. Koshy, president of Cochin Oil Merchants Association.
Nafed is the procurement agency for copra and it buys the best commodity only. In practice, ordinary farmers with small holdings would find it difficult to sell the entire lot of copra to the authorised agencies. This, in turn, would be counter-productive. The situation arises because copra made from the coconuts produced in a farm will not have uniform quality. From 100 coconuts, the copra yield could be anywhere between 10 kg and 18 kg. The fact that copra will have to be routed through farmers' societies is another hindrance as far as the ordinary farmer is concerned.
Coconut oil from Tamil Nadu has been arriving in considerable quantities at cheaper prices than the local rates. Adulteration is rampant in coconut oil brought from neighbouring States. White oil, a colourless, odourless oil, a byproduct of the petroleum industry, and liquid paraffin are among the adulterants. Though there are systems to keep track of adulteration, it is often inadequate and fake market men flourish.
The customers are at the receiving end even in the case of packaged coconut oil. There are companies that market 850 gm instead of 912 gm in one-litre pouch. While the coconut oil merchants in Kochi sell the commodity at Rs.78 a kg, the exporters sell the 1-litre pouch at Rs.150, Mr. Koshy pointed out. Reforms in the coconut sector are generally beneficial to the big players in farming as well as industry while the ordinary farmer continues to be deprived of the larger benefits.

Texas Man Faces Life In Prison Over Pot Brownies
Thursday, May 22, 2014
(Round Rock, TX) -- A Texas man is facing up to life in prison for making pot brownies. Jacob Lavoro says he fears his future is in question.
Police say Jacob Lavoro is in so much trouble because of the amount of marijuana-laced brownies he made. Lavoro's attorney tells KVUE, police are being unfair because the brownies are considered an adulterant or a way to increase the amount of product. Lavoro could be facing felony charges because the brownies contained hash oil. The 19-year-old also disputes ever giving police permission to enter his apartment.

Social Marketing to the Business Customer
First Book on B2B Social Media
SPENDING ON B2B SOCIAL MARKETING is expected to grow 21 percent annually through 2013, yet the innovations of successful companies get surprisingly little attention. This book guides the reader step by step through the process of building and executing a social marketing strategy intended specifically to address the unique needs of business customers. It's no secret that social media tools offer powerful new ways to build and cement customer relationships, but the most prominent success stories in books and the media have been about customer markets. The potential for the same tools to transform B2B marketing has been mostly overlooked. Until now. Social media visionary Paul Gillin and strategic corporate communications consultant Eric Schwartzman have teamed up to present research, stories, and recommendations targeted exclusively at B2B companies. Social Marketing to the Business Customer presents a compelling case for using social media to revolutionize customer outreach, bringing companies in contact with their customers in unprecedented ways and creating dialogues that drive repeat business and reveal new revenue opportunities. "Finally, the book I was too lazy to write. Gillin and Schwartzman have broken open the code to how to approach B2B marketing with social media." "Gillin and Schwartzman not only dispel the myths that social media are limited to B2C marketing, they demonstrate how business customers are redefining the boundaries for influence, decision making, and lead generation." Brian Solis, author of Engage and BrianSolis.com "Business-to-business marketing, like football, is a game of inches. It requires chipping away at a customer a bit at a time to build a relationship and close a sale. It requires patience, people and practice. Social media - in many ways - makes B2B marketing easier and measurable. However, it also makes it more challenging - requiring companies activate employees as thought leaders to build trust. Through rich case studies and stories from diverse industries, Gillin and Schwartzman demystify the process and show how it's done while offering a solid guide to the various technologies, tools and platforms. "While most of the social media hoopla to date has been in the consumer space, social media will have an even larger impact on B2B companies seeking to build deep, long-term relationships with their customers. This book is extremely timely as a guide on how to do just that. If you're in the B2B space and looking to grow your business, this is the book for you. Larry Weber, Chairman, W2 Group and founder,Weber Shandwick Worldwide and W2 Group "In the old days, the B2B marketer's sole job was to generate leads and hand them over to salespeople to nurture and close. No longer. Buyers evaluate your offerings continually on the web and if you're not engaging through social networks, your company is at a tremendous disadvantage. Paul and Eric show you how the most successful B2B companies reach buyers via social marketing. Pay attention and do what they say or cede your prospects to the competition." David Meerman Scott, bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing & PR and the new hit Real-Time Marketing & PR "Markeers who sell to business often miss one fundamental fact: business customers are people too, and they love to connect in social channels. Using social marketing to reach them is not just effective, it's imperative. Paul and Eric's book is filled with great examples, practical advice, and nuggets of insight just what you need to remake your marketing plan for the era of social technology." Josh Bernoff, coauthor of Groundswell and Empowered: Unleash your Employees, Energize your Customers, and Transform your Business Matthias Lüfkens, Social Media Architect, World Economic Forum "If you want truly expert advice on selling the value of social media to the CFO of a B2B concern, stop everything and READ THIS BOOK." Mark Story, New Media Director, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission "Eric Schwartzman and Paul Gillin have written the definitive guide to social marketing to the Business Customer. There are many transferable insights that nonprofits can use." B2B markets are fundamentally different from consumer markets. Decisions are made on value, not impulse. Buying cycles are complex, often with many stakeholders involved. Relationships and support are critical. Bet-the-business decisions demand discipline, knowledge, and lots of information. This hands-on guide covers topics unique to this segment, including cost justification, prospecting and lead generation, matching tools to the sales funnel, building, B2B search engine optimization, social media monitoring, social media policy development, long-term client relationships, gaining stakeholder support, building a more transparent organization, and what's coming next.

U.S. Edition
READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon, the comedian extraordinaire and host of NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," joined Piers Morgan for a lively and very entertaining interview to chat about his new album "Blow Your Pants Off". The album features original music and parody song favorites from Fallon's show including duets with Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and many more star-studded musicians.
During the interview Fallon treated Morgan and the "Piers Morgan Tonight" team to his rendition of the theme song "Reading Rainbow" as if the leader singer of "The Doors", Jim Morrison, were to sing it.
Fallon also described his recent slow jam with President Barack Obama, "the POTUS with the mostest". "He was like, 'Oh, this will be fun. This will be fun. We're going to slow jam. We're going to slow jam,' And I go, yes, we're going to slow jam. It's great," recounted a delighted Fallon about Obama's response to Fallon's suggestion to participate in the now celebrated comedy sketch bit on his show.
"And I go this is a bit we do on the show," continued Fallon, "He goes, 'Oh, I've - I've seen slow jam. All right, here we go.' So we show it to him. And he - and he looks at it and he goes, 'I - I'm ready. Let's go.' So we run to the card. And he's fantastic. He has great timing, very comedic timing."
Watch the clips and listen to the interview as Fallon impersonates Obama, Morrison and many more.

I played Soul Kitchen and Twentieth Century Fox in a band in Kansas in 1968 and by the way I invented the technology used to film Reading Rainbow's Feature Books. Fallon did Morrison super-superbly! http://www.rogerreadingrainbow.com

I am dying to hear what you thknk Newt said that was accurate ? The man is so out of touch he could not even get nominated....
"Kierien, would have brought in a much higher priced winner, Pierce."
I would have thought Jimmy was not so stupid to still support a communist whose task is to bankrupt the country for Soros. There is no explaining dumb.
Every time I hear you call yourself Catholic and then uniequivally support the proponents of abortion rights and gay marriage, I cringe. The reason I watch is I'm hoping for guests who will stand up to you and not allow any viewer to believe there is allowance for killing the preborn or overturning the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman in the natural law which is reenforced by the Catholic church.
http://youtu.be/FUzDN4xdnAY, Jesse Ventura was right about Building 7 and Piers Morgan censored him.
I'm am amazed that no one including yourself has said anything about the fact that all these methods of income sheltering are available to ANYONE who earns and saves money by investing it in the best kinds of instruments. This is t he biggest problem we have in this country, we expect the government to take care of it all, but we haven't counted the cost to ourselves and our children and our children's children and on and on. Too bad we no longer teach World History in our schools. There are several examples of defunct governments who took all the money and gave it away to everyone. We can see how that worked out, if we are smart enough to read and learn from it.
did you not notice a high level og arrogance from Obama and more from Biden? Biden did not display VP level of control/was too emotional for a schoolboy, sounded like a pitbull ion a china shoppe

What dbarron said. |
Beggar's tick is Bidens Alba. Probably the most common weed in florida. |
Agree with Bidens. |
Bidens frondosa or B. vulgata. Don't expect showy flowers. |
My Bidens (course I'm out West), are quite showy... The species I have seen is B. aristosa... |
Thank-you everyone! Bidens it is! I don't think the leaves or stems match those of B. alba...the stems are red and green. I also understand that B. frondosa and B. vulgata are very similar....am I right to assume that I need to wait 'til it flowers to count the number of leafy bracts around the flower to be able to determine which it is? I don't care much about showy flowers but w/limited space in this disturbed area I prefer species like Joe Pye, goldenrod, Asclepias...I read that quite a few species eat the foliage of beggar's tick so as long as it doesn't out compete everything else I'll keep it :) Thanks! |
It will quite successfully reseed...in a moist environment. |

Joe Jonas is sure making his rounds with the ladies these days, but he say's there much more to him than ladies and music!
The middle Jonas Brother dishes to the June issue of Seventeen Magazine:
- On where he sees himself in five years: "I guess personally I would love to do more acting, maybe movies—that would be really cool."
- On his acting role model: "I think Johnny Depp's work is really great—he always incorporates music into what he does."
- On Taylor Swift's song "Forever and Always," about how he broke up with her on the phone: "It's flattering. It's always nice to hear their side of the story."
Flattering, eh? I'm sure that's exactly what Taylor was going for.
Tell us your opinion in the comments: Do you think Joe Jonas has what it takes to be an actor?

System object: dsp.CICInterpolator
Package: dsp
Interpolate signal using Cascaded Integrator-Comb filter
Y = step(H,X)
Y = step(H,X) interpolates the fixed-point input X to produce a fixed-point output Y using the CICInterpolator System object™ H.
Note: H specifies the System object on which to run this step method. The object performs an initialization the first time the step method is executed. This initialization locks nontunable properties and input specifications, such as dimensions, complexity, and data type of the input data. If you change a nontunable property or an input specification, the System object issues an error. To change nontunable properties or inputs, you must first call the release method to unlock the object. |
