Clarene Mitchell questioned panelists at the 4th Street Forum, originally aired on February 3, 2012. The topic was, Affordable Care Act: Cure for U.S. Health Care?
Clarene asked the panel how much they believed racism to be a leading factor in the early criticism of the Affordable Care Act.
The panelists included Bill Petasnick (CEO, Froedtert Health), Patricia McManus, PhD (President & CEO, Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin), Susan Giaimo, PhD (Political Scientist, Marquette University) and Robert Kraig, PhD (Executive Director, Citizen Action of Wisconsin).
Earnestine Willis, MD, MPH, was a panelist for 4th Street Forum's The Poverty of Health Care episode that originally aired on March 2, 2012. The panelists provided their perspectives on:
Each panelist had the opportunity to respond from their own perspective. Dr. Willis specifically talked about the social determinants of health, how one's health is influenced by more than access to health care and the quality of the care.
Other panelists included; Kelli Jones RN, MS, (Clinical Instructor, College of Nursing, Marquette University), David Reimer, JD (Senior Fellow, Community Advocates Public Policy Institute) and Kim Whitmore, MSN, RN (Assistant Professor of Nursing, Concordia University Wisconsin)

Field studies of pesticide effects on birds often utilize indicator species with the purpose of extrapolating to other avian taxa. Little guidance exists for choosing indicator species to monitor the presence and/or effects of contaminants that are labile in the environment or body, but are acutely toxic, such as anticholinesterase (anti-ChE) insecticides. Use of an indicator species that does not represent maximum exposure and/or effects could lead to inaccurate risk estimates. Our objective was to test the relevance of a priori selection of indicator species for a study on pesticide exposure to birds inhabiting fruit orchards. We used total plasma ChE activity and ChE reactivation to describe the variability in anti-ChE pesticide exposure among avian species in two conventionally managed fruit orchards. Of seven species included in statistical analyses, the less common species, chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), showed the greatest percentage of exposed individuals and the greatest ChE depression, whereas the two most common species, American robins (Turdus migratorius) and gray catbirds (Dumatella carolinensis), did not show significant exposure. Due to their lower abundance, chipping sparrows would have been an unlikely choice for study. Our results show that selection of indicator species using traditionally accepted criteria such as abundance and ease of collection may not identify species that are at greatest risk. Our efforts also demonstrate the usefulness of conducting multiple-species pilot studies prior to initiating detailed studies on pesticide effects. A study such as ours can help focus research and resources on study species that are most appropriate.

Hi Andy
Domaine du Tariquet were the first to produce Marselan in Gascony but it has been about in the Languedoc for a bit longer.
I understand that Tariquet's vineyard was planted in 1999, with the first wine released 10 years later. Domaine Devereux, near Carcassonne, released a varietal Marselan in about 2002. Prior to this it's low yields made it unpopular with many growers so it was only used as a blending component.
The first UK retail listing for a varietal Marselan was in about 2003.

"I got a strong relationship with expensive clothes…"
In honor of Lil Wayne releasing his "Bugatti Remix", the first single off his Dedication 5 mixtape, we're taking it way back to 2005 when Wayne dropped the first Dedication.
This was a historic mixtape as it marked a drastic style change in Wayne's flow and was the first time Weezy and Drama hooked up for a project. This tape really changed the music world and brought back a lot of light to the underground mixtape scene. Always one to be putting out music for the streets, this tape truly cemented Wayne as one the rawest spitters we've ever heard and his lyrics speak for themself.
Despite how large his career continues to grow, Wayne will always be remembered as an underground musical legend and this tape is just a reminder of his unique and special abilities as a rapper. Little did we know that this was just the beginning and there would be four more Dedication's.
In total, this tape has 29 tracks and the first four, including his remix to T.I.'s "Motivation", truly capture the essence and magnitude of this mixtape. There are also the amazing tracks "Over Here", "U Gon Love Me", "Down & Out", "I'm A Ridah" and "Weezy F. Baby". Honestly, just listen to the tape from front to back and be the judge for yourself! There's a flow for everyone on this one!
This was also a momentous occasion as Wayne dedicated this tape to his hometown and the fallen soldiers of New Orleans. This tape also came out during a time when there were rumors that Wayne was contemplating a move over to Jay-Z and Def Jam, which he addresses on track 8. As we know now, Wayne went with Universal Records and the rest is history.
Listen below and remember why Wayne was and still is the "Best Rapper Alive"! You also got to love the raw sound of his chains clicking in the background of all his skits.

Ron Radosh Shows How to Smash Marxism with a Big Hammer [Pajamas Media]
There are few bloggers online who provide as much intellectual stimulation and delight as Professor Ron Radosh. He's got a piece up at Pajamas right now crystallizing a lifetime's worth of knowledge going into and out of the dark cavern of the soul we charitably christen "Marxism." In this piece he surgically dissects the embarrassment that is Terry Eagleton's new apologia for the crackpot Karl Marx:
For some reason, every time a modern capitalist economy faces a problem such as our current fiscal crisis here in the United States, members of the academy trout out Karl Marx as the solution. The latest example comes from The Chronicle Review, the literary supplement of The Chronicle of Higher Education. It is written by the British activist and writer Terry Eagleton, and is based on his new book, Why Marx was Right.
We all are all too familiar with the fact that while the world is moving away from social democracy, not to speak of Marxism as a philosophy, it always remains alive and well in our institutions of higher learning. Eagleton is too smart to not be unaware of the serious challenges to Marxism, especially the major defeat it suffered after the fall of the Soviet Union. So he acknowledges this at the start. He writes:
"Were not Marx's ideas responsible for despotism, mass murder, labor camps, economic catastrophe, and the loss of liberty for millions of men and women? Was not one of his devoted disciples a paranoid Georgian peasant by the name of Stalin, and another a brutal Chinese dictator who may well have had the blood of some 30 million of his people on his hands?"
You know what is coming next, if you are even slightly bit familiar with the Left's fallback position: Marx was not responsible for the wrong interpretations made of his work by the totalitarians of the last century. Sure enough, Eagleton argues that "Marx was no more responsible for the monstrous oppression of the communist world than Jesus was responsible for the Inquisition."
Eagleton asserts that Marx would have scorned the idea that anyone could ever believe that the socialist system he desired could be built in a backwards society like Russia or China that had not yet been modernized by the forces of capitalism. So why, then, did all of Eagleton's comrades like the British historian Eric Hobsbawm support the Soviet Union through thick and thin, and bemoan its passing after it came to a crushing end?
And while you're visiting PJM today stop by The Tatler too to read J. Christian Adams' post on Roger Simon and Andrew Breitbart at the movies.

This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2008) |
A poet laureate (plural: poets laureate) is a poet officially appointed by a government, or conferring agency, who is often expected to compose poems for special events and occasions. The term dates back to the appointment of Bernard André by Henry VII of England, though analogous appointments date back to ancient Greece and (in Padua) to Albertino Mussato. In modern times, the title may also be conferred by an organization such as the Poetry Foundation, which has a designated Children's Poet Laureate.[1] Other examples are the Pikes Peak Poet Laureate,[2] which is designated by a "Presenting Partners" group from within the community; the Minnesota Poet Laureate chosen by the League of Minnesota Poets (est. 1934);[3] the Northhampton Poet Laureate[4] chosen by the Northhampton Arts Council[5], and the Martha's Vineyard Poet Laureate chosen by ten judges representing the Martha's Vineyard Poetry Society.
Today, over a dozen national governments continue the poet laureate tradition.
Contents |
In ancient Greece the laurel was sacred to the god Apollo, and was used to form a crown or wreath of honour for poets and heroes. This custom, first revived in Padua for Albertino Mussato,[6] was followed by Petrarch's own crowning ceremony in the audience hall of the medieval senatorial palazzo on the Campidoglio on the 8th of April 1341.[7] For lack of detailed knowledge on Roman precedents, these ceremonies took on the character of doctoral candidatures.[8]
It has since become widespread, both in fact and as a metaphor. The word laureate or laureated thus came in English to signify eminence or association with glory (cf. Nobel laureate). Laureate letters were once the dispatches announcing a victory. The term laureate became associated with degrees awarded by European universities (the term baccalaureate for the degree of bachelor reflects this idea). As a royal degree in rhetoric, poet laureate was awarded at European universities in the Middle Ages. The term might also refer to the holder of such a degree, which recognized skill in rhetoric, grammar and language.
The Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate is appointed as an officer of the Library of Parliament. The position alternates between an English and French speaking laureate each term. Candidates must be able to write in both English and French, must have a substantial publication history (including poetry) displaying literary excellence and must have written work reflecting Canada, among other criteria.
The first ever Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate was awarded to George Bowering in 2002. In 2004, the title was transferred to Pauline Michel and in 2006 to John Steffler. His term ended on December 3, 2008 and Pierre DesRuisseaux was named the new laureate on April 28, 2009. In December, 2011, Fred Wah was named Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada.
Poets Laureate of Dominican Republic include: Pedro Mir (1984).
Poets Laureate of Ethiopia include: Tsegaye Gabre-Medhin.
Poets Laureate of Nazi Germany include: Hanns Johst from 1935 to 1945.
Sripada Krishnamurty Sastry was the first poet laureate of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Kannadasan was the poet laureate of Tamil Nadu at the time of his death.
The title Saoi, equivalent to Poet Laureate in Ireland but including artists and writers distinguished in other aspects of literature, may be held by up to 7 members of Aosdana at any given time. Holders include: dramatist Brian Friel and poet Seamus Heaney.
The unofficial Poet Laureate of Netherlands is currently: Ramsey Nasr as Dichter des Vaderlands (Poet of the Fatherland). Gerrit Komrij was the first Dichter des Vaderlands. The title isn't officially designated but was created by Dutch media.[citation needed]
New Zealand has only had an official poet laureate for a few years. Originally sponsored by Te Mata vineyards and known as the Te Mata Estate Poet Laureate, the award is now administered by the National Library of New Zealand and the holder is officially called New Zealand Poet Laureate. The post is held for two years. Unlike the butt of sack traditionally offered to English poets laureate, New Zealand offers a Tokotoko, which is a carved wooden ceremonial orator's staff.
The first holder of the title was Bill Manhire who held the post of Poet Laureate from 1998–99. Other former Poets Laureate include, Hone Tuwhare (2000–01), Elizabeth Smither (2002–03), Brian Turner (2004–05), Jenny Bornholdt (2006–07), Michele Leggott (2008–09) and Cilla McQueen (2009–11). The current poet laureate is Ian Wedde (2011–2013).[9][10]
Poets Laureate of Nigeria include: Obo Aba Hisanjani.[citation needed]
Poets Laureate of Saint Lucia include: Derek Walcott.[citation needed]
From the more general use of the term "poet laureate" arose its restriction in England to an official office of Poet Laureate, attached to the royal household. King James I essentially created the position as it is known today for Ben Jonson in 1617, although Jonson's appointment does not seem to have been made formally. The office was a development from the practice in earlier times when minstrels and versifiers formed part of the king's retinue. Richard Cœur-de-Lion had a versificator regis (English: king's poet), Gulielmus Peregrinus (William the Pilgrim), and Henry III had a versificator named Master Henry. In the fifteenth century, John Kay, a versifier, described himself as Edward IV's "humble poet laureate".
No single authentic definitive record exists of the office of Poet Laureate of England. According to Wharton,[citation needed] King Henry I paid 10 shillings a year to a versificator regis. Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400) was called Poet Laureate, being granted in 1389 an annual allowance of wine. W. Hamilton describes Chaucer, Gower, Kay, Andrew Bernard, John Skelton, Robert Whittington, Richard Edwards and Samuel Daniel as "volunteer Laureates".
John Skelton studied at the University of Oxford in the early 1480s and was advanced to the degree of "poet laureate" in 1488, when he joined the court of King Henry VII to tutor the future Henry VIII. The title of laureate was also conferred on him by the University of Louvain in 1492 and by the University of Cambridge in 1492–3.[citation needed] He soon became famous for his rhetoric, satire and translations and was held in high esteem by the printer William Caxton, who wrote, in the preface to The Boke of Eneydos compyled by Vargyle (Modern English: The Book of the Aeneid, compiled by Virgil) (1490):
But I pray mayster John Skelton, late created poete laureate in the unyversite of Oxenforde, to oversee and correct this sayd booke.
The title of Poet Laureate, as a royal office, was first conferred by letters patent on John Dryden in 1670, two years after Davenant's death. The post then became a regular institution. Dryden's successor Shadwell originated annual birthday and New Year odes. The poet laureate became responsible for writing and presenting official verses to commemorate both personal occasions, such as the monarch's birthday or royal births and marriages, and public occasions, such as coronations and military victories. His activity in this respect has varied according to circumstances, and the custom ceased to be obligatory after Pye's death. The office fell into some contempt before Southey, but took on a new lustre from his personal distinction and that of Wordsworth and Tennyson. Wordsworth stipulated, before accepting the honour, that no formal effusions from him should be considered a necessity; but Tennyson was generally happy in his numerous poems of this class.
On Tennyson's death there was a considerable feeling that no possible successor was acceptable, William Morris and Swinburne being hardly suitable as court poets. Eventually, however, the undesirability of breaking with tradition for temporary reasons, and thus severing the one official link between literature and the state, prevailed over the protests against allowing anyone of inferior genius to follow Tennyson. It may be noted that abolition had been similarly advocated when Warton and Wordsworth died. Edward Gibbon had condemned the position's artificial approach to poetry:
From Augustus to Louis, the muse has too often been false and venal: but I much doubt whether any age or court can produce a similar establishment of a stipendiary poet, who in every reign, and at all events, is bound to furnish twice a year a measure of praise and verse, such as may be sung in the chapel, and, I believe, in the presence, of the sovereign. I speak the more freely, as the best time for abolishing this ridiculous custom is while the prince is a man of virtue and the poet a man of genius.— Gibbon: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Chapter LXX (footnote)
The salary has varied, but traditionally includes some alcohol. Ben Jonson first received a pension of 100 marks, and later an annual "terse of Canary wine". Dryden had a pension of £300 and a butt of Canary wine. Pye received £27 instead of the wine. Tennyson drew £72 a year from the Lord Chamberlain's department, and £27 from the Lord Steward's "in lieu of the butt of sack".
The present British Poet Laureate is Carol Ann Duffy, appointed poet laureate in May 2009. The United Kingdom also has a position called "Children's poet laureate".
The Edinburgh Makar was traditionally seen as the unpaid equivalent of a poet laureate, tasked with representing and promoting poetry in Scotland. Since 2004, the Scottish Parliament has appointed an official Scots Makar, from the Makars of the various cities. On 16 February 2004, Professor Edwin Morgan was appointed to both the Edinburgh post and the national role. On his death he was succeeded (in January 2011) by Liz Lochhead.[11]
Wales has had a long tradition of poets and bards under royal patronage, with extant writing from mediæval royal poets and earlier. An office of National Poet for Wales was established in April 2005. The first holder, Gwyneth Lewis, was followed by Gwyn Thomas
The United States Library of Congress has since 1937 appointed an official Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress until 1984. An Act of Congress changed the name of the position in 1985 to Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. A number of the American states' legislatures have created official government positions which are occupied by Poets Laureate who are prominent either locally, nationally, or sometimes both.
Laureates receive a US$35,000 stipend and are given the responsibility of overseeing an ongoing series of poetry readings and lectures at the library, and a charge to promote poetry. No other duties are specified, and laureates are not required to compose for government events or in praise of government officials. However, after the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, the Poet Laureate then in office, Billy Collins, was asked to write a poem to be read in front of a special joint session of Congress. Collins wrote "The Names" which he read on September 6, 2002, which is available in streaming audio and video.[12] When the $35,000 stipend was originally instituted, the amount was quite large and was intended to allow the poet laureate to abandon worries about earning a living and devote his or her time entirely to writing poetry. That amount has remained the same over the years, so the intent of making it a nice living for a poet is no longer being fulfilled. Now it functions as a bonus for a poet who usually is teaching at a university and earns the bulk of his or her living that way.
U.S. Poets Laureate: Philip Levine was named the 18th Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry of the United States.[13] Levine will succeed W.S. Merwin, who was the country's seventeenth Poet Laureate. Former Poets: Kay Ryan, Charles Simic, Ted Kooser, Louise Glück, Billy Collins, Rita Dove, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Karl Shapiro, Allen Tate, Robert Penn Warren, Richard Wilbur, Joseph Brodsky, Stanley Kunitz, Robert Hass, Donald Hall, Robert Pinsky (three terms), Mark Strand, Audre Lorde, and Maxine Kumin, among others.
The state of California under Governor Hiram Warren Johnson, established a state Poet Laureate[14] and appointed Ina Donna Coolbrith as the first honorary Poet Laureate on June 30, 1915. Coolbrith was later acknowledged as the "Loved Laurel-Crowned Poet of California" by a 1919 state Senate resolution, and she retained the title until her death in 1928.[15] Juan Felipe Herrera was appointed California Poet Laureate by Gov. Jerry Brown in March, 2012.[16]
The State of Minnesota has appointed a Poet Laureate since 2007. The first appointee to the position was Robert Bly. In 2011, Bly was succeeded by Joyce Sutphen.
The state of Utah has appointed a Poet Laureate since 1997. The first Poet Laureate was David Lee who was appointed from January 24, 1997 to December 2002. Followed by Kenneth W. Brewer from January 24, 2003 to March 15, 2006. The third Poet Laureate was Katharine Coles from October 27, 2006 to May, 2012. Currently the Utah Poet Laureate is Lance Larsen, appointed May 3rd by Governor Gary Herbert.
The commonwealth of Virginia has appointed a Poet Laureate since December 18, 1936. The first Poet Laureate was Carter Warner Wormeley; he was appointed for life. The appointments made from 1942 until 1992 were for one year at a time, many were for more than one term. In 1992, the appointment was increased to a two-year term, and beginning in 1998 the appointments were made from list of nominees presented by the Poetry Society of Virginia; which was established at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1923.[17]
The State of Colorado appointed one of the most widely known Poets Laureate of the late 20th century, singer/songwriter John Denver. [18]

the item received had a different presentation than the picture shown; instead of a bag holding everything together, we got a basket instead; the two mugs that came were a teal blue instead of the dark blue; one of the chocolate boxes in the very front were bent due to shipping. Overall, looks ok, but would really like to get what I see instead and not be surprised with something different.

Great gift assortment
By Joyce
from Arleta, CA
It did arrive a day late, but I know it arrived at the local USPS distribution center on time, so it is not the fault of Wine Country, it was a delay in local area USPS delivery. But, time was not critical so, it was a great surprise for my friend. She loved the gift and raved on the phone about how beautiful the presentation was and how wonderful the products were. So we are all happy. She just called today to tell me she is using the beautiful bag the products came in for her bible "carry" bag from now on so she will always remember me. How nice!

Get Naked Low Calorie Dental Chew Sticks Dog Treats
Best for large dogs
Good healthy product. A bit big for medium to smaller dogs. Hard to break into pieces.

Low calorie snack
My dog loves these snacks. No issues with digestion.
October 29, 2013
Seems to help with dental plaque.
When I took my dog to the vet a few weeks ago, his back teeth were fine, but his front teeth were getting some plaque on them. I decided to try these Dental Chew Sticks and it appears that his front teeth have less plaque on them than previously -- he gets 1 a day. I am concerned about keeping his weight down as he is only 20 pounds and so far, so good. I am also concerned about food allergies, but at this point, all seems well. No tummy troubles and no scratching.
April 7, 2013
Better nutrition, great results. Great delivery.
Love knowing it's better for our pup, and can already see--and smell--the positive results. Love the reliably fast service we're coming to expect from Chewy. Keep it up!
October 9, 2013
My dog loves them and his teeth look great.
My dog loves all flavors. His teeth look great.
They are low cal so that is good too.
Highly recommend. Hard to find in stores to so it's great Chewy has all of them in all sizes.
May 8, 2013
My boy loves them!
I love it when my dog loves something that's good for him. I also appreciate these dental chews being low in calories unlike many of the other dental treats out there. My little guy doesn't have much room in his daily diet for added calories so these fit the bill. Plus, it takes him a while to chew so I believe they are actually cleaning his teeth vs. something he'd swallow down.
June 24, 2013
My dog loves them
My dog snatches them out of my hand, so I guess they're great! As for me, it's a little hard to get past the smell which is really strong herbal.
August 19, 2014

My American Bulldog loves these but they don't last long for him. They are a great size for a 74 lb dog

Rodgers, James ready for Pac-10 run
Jacquizz Rodgers and LaMichael James are different from you and me, and not just because they are rich with talent and are All-American running backs separated by 47 miles of highway in Oregon.
No, unlike you and me, Rodgers, the diminutive slasher from Oregon State, and James, the speedy comet from Oregon, don't have any interest in comparing themselves to each other and announcing their superiority after said comparison.
In fact, they respect each other. And if you promise to keep it quiet, these Texans sharing a great Northwest adventure at rival schools admit that they actually are pretty good friends.
"You've got two pretty good running backs from the state of Texas who've come to Oregon; people are going to try to compare us to one another," Rodgers said. "I've talked to him about it. When people ask him about it, he says, 'Man, I just tell them I worry about the defense. I don't worry about the offense. I worry about who I'm playing against.' But it's great to have another running back playing great in the conference, who represents the conference well."
Rodgers, a 5-foot-7, 188-pound junior, ranked third in the Pac-10 in 2009 with 1,440 yards rushing and ranked second with 78 receptions for 522 yards. He scored 22 touchdowns. He's durable -- 24 career starts, including 14 in a row. And reliable: His one attributed fumble in 640 career touches came in last season's Las Vegas Bowl on a poorly thrown backward pass that wasn't his fault.
James, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound sophomore, set a Pac-10 freshman record with 1,546 yards rushing -- breaking Rodgers' mark set the previous season -- which ranked second in the conference. His 118.92 yards per game ranked ninth in the nation. His 6.7 yards per carry ranked No. 1 among conference backs with at least 100 carries. Explosive? He led the nation last season with 21 carries of more than 20 yards, including four of more than 50.
Fine. Impressive numbers. But between Ducks and Beavers fans, there is only one issue: Who's better? It's an Internet message board obsession. Although it often takes on the feel of an endless "tastes great" versus "less filling" shouting match, it's an itch that requires constant scratching for these two rival sets of fans whose teams played for a Rose Bowl berth last year and may well do so again on Dec. 4.
Pac-10 blog
Ted Miller covers all the angles on Pac-10 football for ESPN.com. Check out the Pac-10 blog.
So to make an evaluation, let's bring on some folks who don't have a horse in the race.
"They're a little bit different," Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said. "James is a pure speed guy. He can flat fly. Jacquizz, he breaks tackles. He gets in there and makes runs that most people can't make. But I'm glad I'm not the guy who has to make the decision on who the best back is. They're both great players."
So Erickson wants to sit on the fence. UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel is slightly more willing to establish a pecking order.
"This is no slight to LaMichael, but when you're playing Oregon, you're playing a system," he said. "With [former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah] Masoli holding the ball, it's like having another great tailback running the option offense. With Jacquizz, you know he's getting the ball, but you've got to find him and try to take him down. I'd say he's ahead just because of experience, but LaMichael certainly has a lot of time to prove he's as good."
Those are the best grounds for a distinction: Rodgers has done it two years in a row, and more than a few coaches wonder whether James will be hurt by the Ducks' loss of Masoli captaining their spread-option. Neither Darron Thomas nor Nate Costa -- the two candidates to step in for Masoli -- will stress a defense on the option as Masoli did, which means more focus on stopping James.
How does James think his numbers will be affected by the loss of Masoli?
"Honestly, I have no idea," he said. "We'll have to see how it is when the games start."
But James also has some things in his favor. For one, he and explosive backup Kenjon Barner are likely to be on the field together a lot this season. So there's your second distraction for a defense. Further, James himself sees the experience distinction. Only he has some now.
"The one thing you really can't coach is game experience," he said. "My biggest key was reps. If I would've known some of the things I knew at the end of the season, I would've been a better player."
Such as?
"Getting up the field and trusting my speed," James said. "That was a big thing for me at the beginning of the season. I was kind of running laterally and not really getting up the field. By the end of this season, I gained a little confidence breaking tackles."
Further, not unlike Rodgers, who became a threat in the passing game as a sophomore, James will figure more heavily in the Ducks' passing game this fall. And James with the ball in space could be scary. His speed is real: He placed fifth in the Pac-10 at 100 meters while posting a personal-best time of 10.52 in the semifinals.
As for Rodgers, he's already a complete player. He's an outstanding runner, receiver and blocker -- and 2010 should just show more of the same. He owns 2,693 career yards rushing and 32 touchdowns. (Both totals rank fifth on the Oregon State career list.) If he opts to stay all four years and continues his current rate of production, he would finish second all time in the Pac-10 with 5,386 career rushing yards behind USC's Charles White (6,245).
Rodgers got to know James through his brother, James, the Beavers' All-American receiver. He calls him "a cool guy."
But really: What does he say when Oregon State fans insist he make his case?
Said Rodgers, "I just say he's a great running back. I would never say I'm better than the next man."

Subject: Physics Express Letters
Being new to NewJour, I'm not sure whether anyone has mentioned Physics
Express Letters (PEL), a new journal-derived electronic service from the
Institute of Physics. It pulls together the Letters and Rapid
Communications from 11 IOP journals and makes them available online via
World Wide Web ahead of publication of the print journals.
PEL is presented in both HTML and Acrobat versions, and we believe we
have been innovative in the presentation of mathematics in HTML. The
text is fully searchable and all the figures are included. The service
is free for the remainder of this year; all you have to do is fill in an
online registration form.
PEL can be accessed via the Institute of Physics welcome page at

As I biked along a four-lane road, I edged the car lane because the bike lane was uneven and littered with debris. I ride with a rearview mirror and keep as far right as safely possible.

Sergio Garcia has withdrawn from the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth shortly after completing his opening round in the European Tour's flagship event.
The 34-year-old Spaniard, who posted a one-over-par 73, is struggling with a knee injury and will be hoping he can recover in time for next month's US Open at Pinehurst.
Garcia had teed-off on the back of some excellent form during the last seven months which has seen him win two titles and another three top-three finishes.
On day one at the West Course, Garcia posted 15 pars, two bogeys and a single birdie at the 18th.
Garcia said: "Unfortunately, it's the same thing that happened on Sunday at the Spanish Open.
"It felt better, I guess from resting it on Monday and Tuesday but I think from walking on it and going up and down hills today it's been pinching.
"With the US Open coming up, I don't want it to get worse. I'll go to the physio in Spain and see what he says.
"I'm sure I'm going to have to take some anti-inflammatories. Will probably have to do a little bit of work on it I'm guessing but I don't know exactly.
"I had an MRI done on Monday morning. They checked it out and said it was a small edema on the kneecap.
"I was hoping I was going to be able to feel fine throughout the week. But the way I felt on the last four holes - I didn't feel good at all."
His playing partners, Germany's Martin Kaymer and Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain, carded 68 and 72 respectively.
Denmark's Thomas Bjorn was leading the way following a record-breaking 62 on a day interrupted by inclement weather.
Watch all four days of the tournament from Wentworth from 10am each morning on Sky Sports 4

Saturday • Sunday • Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Friday
If you like a vent, press this to move it higher up the list.
If you don't like a vent, press this to move it down the list.
Press this to nominate a vent for "Best of the Vent."
You may vote only once per Vent. Multiple votes will not be recorded.
Have you ever thought that just maybe some of the players are either too lazy or too arrogant to listen to the hitting coach?
The hitting coach isn't La Stella's problem. The league is adjusting to him and he needs to make adjustments and I think he will.
BJ batting leadoff? Fredi is getting desperate.
Hey Fredi, runners at first and second with no outs. Did it ever cross your mind to bunt to move them over? Didn't think so, that's why they died at first and second.
The Braves are lucky to be playing in the National League Easiest Division.
Tiger, you don't have to make excuses. The "Press" is making them for you.
I'm starting to understand why the Marlins let Gonzales go!
Luis Suarez needs to be tested for rabies.
Consider that maybe, just maybe, LaStella's hitting decline has something to do with much better quality pitching he's facing at the major league level and not so much to do with the batting coach.
All right, AJC and the rest of the media, enough already. Quit trying to tell us everyone is suddenly soccer crazy just because a few people in a bar watched the games. Virtually no one is talking about or watching the World Cup. We really don't care.
Is there anyone else playing in the PGA golf tournament this weekend?
I see that Tiger played horrendously. Maybe this tournament is worth watching after all.
Number 1 snoozer? Watching the NBA draft.Number 2 snoozer? Watching soccer.
In a slump? Just play the Braves. Guaranteed to get hits.
Joe Simpson is on the DL.
With so many one run games played, and so many games where the offense scores two or fewer runs, the Braves may be fortunate to have as many as two ten game winners this year.
The stupid idea of BJ in the leadoff spot worked for two games. Put him on the bench and Heyward in the leadoff spot or you can forget making the playoffs this season.
How do you lose in soccer and advance? The World Cup makes no sense, just like the sport.
It looks like every tennis player is now wearing the same color "white" at Wimbledon instead of all those mismatched costumes the players used to wear. They all look more professional.
Only thing more boring than the Braves offense might be FIFA World Cup Soccer.
Vanderbilt is in the SEC? Who new? Nobody talks about that during football season.
It looks to me that only 2 or 3 of the US players could make the squads, much less play, on any of the top 10 World Cup teams.
It's time for the Braves to admit that Mike Minor is not what they thought he would be. Such a shame. We could have chosen Mike Trout that year instead.
Chiefs is a more condescending, derogatory word that Redskins. Think about how often a Native American is jokingly referred to as "Chief."
"The SEC rules in the College World Series again". After LSU and the Gamecocks there is no one else.

(March 29, 2012) –
Georgia Aquarium is excited to announce that the largest U.S. brood of weedy sea dragons in a zoo or aquarium setting has been hatched. More than 100 baby sea dragons were born off-exhibit in the Aquarium's Quarantine facility, and to date, the Aquarium has the highest survivorship of 56%. Georgia Aquarium is among a small group of aquariums in the U.S. to successfully hatch weedy sea dragons.
Interestingly, the male weedy sea dragon "gives birth" to the hatchlings. The female lays between 150-200 eggs onto the soft underside of the male's tail where the eggs are embedded into the skin in cup-like structures that harden and form around each egg to hold and protect them during brooding. After about two months, the bright pink eggs hatch into miniature juveniles, which settle into the vegetation. Georgia Aquarium aquarists discovered that the male sea dragon was carrying the bright pink eggs on Christmas Eve 2011. The babies began hatching 45 days later with all hatching on day 47.
After the babies were born they were transferred into a special off-exhibit holding system to keep them safe from adult weedy sea dragons and allow the aquarists to provide them with special food items such as tiny shrimp. The babies require high energy, yet very small prey items that fit into their tiny mouths. Newly hatched brine shrimp and mysid shrimp are fed 4-5 times each day to the fast growing larval fish. Each baby can consume as many as 10 shrimp during each feeding session.
They have since grown to approximately 1/10 adult size but are large enough to safely navigate in the exhibit and forage for food. Although they are smaller, less colorful and have a much shorter snout, the juvenile weedy sea dragon closely resembles the adult. The new babies are about 1/2 inch long and weighed fractions of an ounce at birth. Very unique-looking animal, weedy sea dragons are relatives of sea horses and pipe fish and live in the shallow coastal waters of Southern and Eastern Australia, including Tasmania.
The weedy sea dragon is listed as "near threatened," due primarily to habitat concerns, on the IUCN Red List 2011, and is a protected species in its indigenous Southern Australia and Tasmania. With their leaf-like fins and frilly appendages, the weedy sea dragon camouflages itself perfectly among seaweed and sea grass beds.
