The Waterloo Wind Farm is approximately 30 kilometres south-east of the township of Clare and 100 km north of the state capital, Adelaide.
Waterloo's total maximum generating capacity of 111 megawatts (MW) is generated by 37 Vestas V90 3 MW turbines stretching over the 18 km wind farm site and connected through a 33 kilovolt (kV) internal reticulation network to the wind farm substation.
A 1.8 km 132 kV transmission line connects the wind farm to the ElectraNet transmission network via the new Waterloo East Substation.
All turbines, installed by Vestas, are commissioned and are currently exporting to the grid. The power generated at the Waterloo Wind Farm is purchased by Hydro Tasmania and TRUenergy.

The construction team overcame several challenging issues including topography and unique vegetation, which placed limitations on the design of access roads and hard stands. This consequently restricted movement of heavy vehicle deliveries and crane operation activities.
Roaring 40s Waterloo Project Manager Justin Couper says "Adverse weather conditions, including high rainfall and high winds, further restrained construction activities and not only tested the construction methodology, but also the relationship between contractors. All survived the test and the wind farm was completed in an incredible 15 months."
Global context
Managing Director of Roaring 40s, Stephen Symons points out that, according to a report jointly published the Global Wind Energy Council and Greenpeace International, wind could meet 12 percent of the global power demand by 2020, and up to 22 percent by 2030. "Wind energy is the fastest growing form of electricity generation worldwide. Capacity has grown by an average of 28 per cent each year over the last ten years, with the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reporting global wind generation capacity to reach close to 200 gigawatts (GW) this year. Wind energy now meets the needs of more than 25 million households world-wide," Mr Symons explains.
Local context
With the full commissioning of the Waterloo Wind farm, South Australia is set to pass 1,000 MW of wind power. This is consistent with South Australian Government's commitment that by 2020 South Australia will have 33 per cent of its electricity generated from renewable sources.

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Get AccessAbstract
The purpose of this community-based study was to assess the prevalence of chronic diseases among 18–65 year old Bhutanese refugee women resettled in Northeast Ohio, United States (US). A Nepali-language questionnaire was administered in a face-to-face mode. Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, and hip and waist circumferences. The overall prevalence (95 % confidence interval) of self-reported hypertension, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and cancer were 15.3 % (9.2–23.4), 6.4 % (2.3–10.9), 5.5 % (2.0–11.5), 2.7 % (0.6–7.8), and 1.8 % (0.2–6.4), respectively. Overweight/obesity was observed in 64.8 % of the women; 69.5 and 74.1 % had waist circumference >80 cm and waist-to-hip ratio ≥85, respectively. Length of time in the US was not associated with the prevalence of the chronic conditions. This study suggests chronic conditions may be significant health issues among US resettled Bhutanese refugees and a larger population-based study to confirm the findings is warranted.

Ensure you are not conned...We tend to assume that a con artist is someone who comes up to us face to face talking to us personally but nowadays most of them are online.
How do you know when an offer is a scam and when it is genuine? Simple. When there is a lot more in it for them than there is for you. Where they lie to you about the facts and leave bits out so that you get a distorted picture of the facts.
Bargain hunters are usually the people who get parted from their money because they are trying to get something that is non existent a true bargain. Nobody is going to offer you something wonderful just because it suits you.
It saddens me to see more sites springing up which offer so called free fortune telling readings. It seems genuine because they say they do not ask for money but they are asking you for your trust and your time, two very important things! I found out they are either giving you a very short free reading where they then tell you that you must have a longer and very expensive one or they tell you that you are cursed and offer to remove this (non existent) curse for a high fee. How on earth could they really stay in business if they were always working for free and why would they bother if they were popular?!
A genuine client would expect to pay for the psychic's skills and time just as a genuine psychic would not try to overcharge. One such genuine psychic is at http://www.online-psychic.moonfruit.com. She has over forty years of experience, is well qualified,offers a huge range of services and has proven she is accurate to experts and other professionals.
It would be a shame if you became suspicious but remember that strangers do not offer you bargains or something fantastic unless there is more in it for them. If they truly had something wonderful to share with somenone they would go to someone they know and share it with them. Ensure you are not conned.

Not only does Rihanna strip down to a sexy cat-like outfit in the pages of 'ELLE' UK's April 2013 issue, but she also reveals that she plans on having a baby with Chris Brown! Keeping reading to see the pics and get all the details.
Rihanna believes her relationship with Chris Brown could go all the way this time, even resulting in children for the two music stars. And let's be honest — Rihanna's sexy new photo shoot for ELLE UK would put anyone in the baby making spirit!
Rihanna, 25, certainly knows how to entice Chris, 23. Showing off her hot body and fierce attitude, the "Stay" singer wears kitten ears and a dark mask in the ELLE UK shoot, photographed by Mariano Vivacano. Rihanna also wears designs by fashion houses Maison Martin Margiela, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy in the April 2013 issue.
In a few of the photos, she's also sporting those diamond bands that may or may not be engagement/wedding rings! Rihanna was first spotted wearing the rings at the Grammys on Feb. 10. She was then spotted wearing them on her birthday in Hawaii on Feb. 20 — Chris visited and helped her celebrate.
While the photos are certainly worth a second look (or fifty), it's Rihanna's baby plan admission that surprised us!
Rihanna Wants To Have A Kid With Chris Brown
"I will probably have a kid. And I'm praying I can go on vacation for a good month. And I'll have set some things up so I don't have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy," Rihanna tells the magazine.
Clearly, Rihanna wants to "have a kid" with Chris. She adds, "Now that [Chris and I] are adults, we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I'm thankful for that. Right now that's just what we want, a great friendship that's unbreakable."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Rihanna and Chris have a baby together?

Rihanna, you are beautiful, you are a winner, and a champion! Chris just said it today that he loves you and both of you are meant to be together…don't be moved by the criticisms, both of you guys have a purpose on earth. I pray that God strengthens and uphold you both with his mighty right hand…as long as you have each other no weapon form or fashion against you shall prosper. Just start living for God, doing his will and love your haters. God got both of you and He will disgrace your enemies.

Oh yes she'll be a great mom. She will teach courage a tales about staying with a man that will beat the crap out of you. She will also teach about how to role big blunts and where to get the best chronic. Good luck telling her child not to wear revealing clothing.
It's all so inspirational.

Rihanna and Chris are trying to live right but some people have other agendas!!! It's like a conspiracy to continue the saga of these two young people..NBC chose this time in their personal life and career precisely when she is about to tour and he about to launch his record. What is the real motive..is everyone so obsessed to want them destroyed that no one is willing to stop.. how long again.Let go and let GOD!!!!!!!!

Otherwise, I was just wondering if there were "unlisted" results for those. But looks like they're just what they say they are, so fine by me, and thanks!
Why? If you using firefox (and likely have dabbled with a handful of other open source programs), and you realize you like the browser, and you realize that your system is a virus waiting to happen why not head over to Gentoo Linux [gentoo.org] (feel free to substitute a Distribution [distrowatch.org] of your choice here), and install it.
Most webmaster types will reply that they need internet explorer or office or dreamweaver and such. I agree wholeheartedly - and whats more these are all compatible with wine (free but necessitates a fair amont of configuration time) and crossover office (its a commercial software that eliminates the time prerequisite). Alternativly there are open sourced counterparts for all save dreamweaver (there is no WYSIWYG equivalent better then mozilla editor which certainly is not the caliber of dreamweavers). Webmasters, particularly those giving mozilla a shot also tend to need apache, mysql, sendmail (or postfix or qmail), and a host of other programs which run (faster or better or best or) only under a unix type platform, but few seem to remeber these when choosing an OS.
I dont know - I dont mean to rant here and it is a noble goal to secure your system, in this case however it seems a bandaid on a bullet hole (and if your reading this thread you atleast suspect it to be a bullet hole). I dont run an antivirus (I wasnt aware one existed until recently), nor a firewall, nor adware removing deamons, nor the slu of other resource hogs I tend to need to run in the office - because I am free. And this morning - freedom feels great.
So rather than convert the world, it's easier to save a few folks with what they have in a few seconds, rather than a few days.
Last but not least it's been proven that Linux does have holes, they are just more obscure and less popular to virus and trojan writters. There is no perfect environment other than being aware and alert to what's going on (and backup, backup, backup).
(counter-rant complete :) )
let's return to Mozilla security fixes (which are for both Windows and Linux btw)

Monday Service Plays
Re: Monday Service Plays
Ben Burns
Game: Montreal Canadiens at Philadelphia Flyers
Prediction: Philadelphia Flyers
Reason: The Flyers accomplished what they needed to do by splitting the two games at Montreal. In fact, they could have easily taken both contests. Returning home to Philadelphia, I expect them to grab tonight's game and take a 2-1 series lead. The Flyers were at their best when their series with the Capitals was tied. In Game 7, they traveled to the nation's capital and scored a 3-2 upset. Earlier in the series, after splitting the first two games on the road (sound familiar?) they returned home for Game 3 and dominated the Capitals by a score of 6-3.
The Canadiens, who got shaky goatending from rookie Carey Price in the last game, have lost three of their last five road games. The Flyers, who got excellent goaltending from Martin Biron last game, were 17-10 (+5.5) on the season after a win by two goals or more.
After his strong performance, the Flyers goalie was quoted as saying: "You feel like you take over the whole net. When the guy comes down to shoot, he's not seeing anything. The way the guys play in front of me allow me to make my reads, challenge when I have to challenge, stay deep when I have to stay deep, and I think that's been one of the differences in the playoffs." Busting with confidence, I look for Biron to deliver another strong effort and for the Flyers to move to 10-2 their last 12 home ice.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Ted Sevransky
Oakland Athletics @ Los Angeles Angels
PICK: Los Angeles Angels
The LA Angels are in stellar current form, taking two out of three from both the Red Sox and Tigers on their just concluded road trip. Since their 6-6 start, LA has gone 10-4 utilizing a combination of strong pitching and timely hitting. Tori Hunter, the Angels big free agent acquisition this past offseason: "We can compete with anybody, even in the position we're in health-wise. We don't have our No. 1 starter, John Lackey or Kelvim Escobar, because of injuries. When we get those guys back, we're going to be even better."
Jon Garland takes the hill tonight as LA returns home to face Oakland, with the two teams tied for first place. Garland has won his last two starts, following a rough stretch early in the season. The crafty righty doesn't have much of a strikeout pitch these days, but he's quite adept at pitching his way out of jams. Just as importantly, the Angels bullpen behind him has rounded into shape nicely in recent games after a rocky start.
Oakland is playing well of late, winners of seven of their last nine, and their bullpen ranks as the best in the AL. But the key to this bet is the struggles of Chad Gaudin against the Angels, particularly in Anaheim. He started three games in this venue last year, lasting only 13.2 innings of work, while allowing 19 hits and 14 runs. Angels slugger Vladimir Guerrero has owned Gaudin: 7 of 13 with three dingers against the young righty. Cheap price for the home team here, against a pitcher they have hit well.
Take the Angels.
Re: Monday Service Plays
David Malinsky
Baltimore Orioles @ Chicago White Sox
PICK: Over
Some early cold-weather reports and some misleading pitching numbers have led a market surge to the Under in this one, now to the point at which we can play Over 8.5 at no vig, or at worst reduced vig, in most key precincts. That gets us in the hunt in this one.
Daniel Cabrera is sporting unusually good control numbers so far, including no walks at all in his last outing, when he went eight full innings at Seattle. But is this for real? In five starts the teams that he matched up against rate #9, #10 and #11 in the A.L. in drawing walks (he faced the Mariners and Rays twice). Now it is a different matter entirely against a Chicago lineup that knows how to wait him out - the six starters that have seen him before, Swisher, Carbrera, Thome, Konerko, Pierzynski and Crede - are not only 22-62 against him (.355), but have also drawn 13 walks, for a .467 on-base. These guys are accustomed to the cold by now, and can make it difficult for him to find his rhythm on this day.
Meanwhile Vazquez has been playing his own version of Russian Roulette on the mound this season. Yes, he has been solid at 3-2/4.40, and on first glance it appears that he has negated an old weakness of giving up the long-ball - after allowing 29 home runs in 197 innings LY, no one has taken him deep in 30.2 this season. But nothing has changed in his pitching style; if anything a ratio of 48 fly-ball outs to just 22 on the ground so far this season indicates a difficult in getting the ball down. To get that many fly ball outs over 30.2 innings without any of them leaving the park is sleight of hand.
We do not need an offensive break-out here; if each team reaches four we are guaranteed a win. It is a case of the marketplace creating a bargain range for us in a game in which scoring will not be all that difficult (there is even a mild wind out to right field, which helps with the number of left-handers that will be batting against these pitchers).

Orlando Magic -7½
Atlanta Hawks +9

Pittsburgh Pirates at New York Mets
The Pirates have dropped nine of their last 12 games and five straight on the road. They will send Ian Snell to the mound. Snell is 2-1 with a 4.45 ERA in five starts this season and is 0-2 with a 6.11 ERA in four career outings, including three starts versus the Mets. New York has won five of the last six against Pittsburgh at home and will counter with Johan Santana. The lefty is 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA in five starts and is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in two appearances, one start versus Pittsburgh. Take the Mets tonight at Shea Stadium.
New York Mets - 240
Re: Monday Service Plays
Orlando Magic - 7½
Los Angeles Lakers - 4½
Houston Astros at Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks took five of seven games against the Astros last year and have played sound at Chase Field, winning nine of their 11 home games this season. Arizona will send right-hander Dan Haren to the hill. Haren is 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA in three games, including 2 starts versus the Astros, but has pitched outstanding thus far this season, 3-1 with a 3.03 ERA and has won three straight starts at home. Houston counters with Chris Sampson. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 6.28 ERA and went 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in two career starts against the Diamondbacks. Go with Arizona at home. The Diamondbacks have won the last five versus Houston at home.
Arizona Diamondbacks - 185

Dallas Desperados @ Philadelphia Soul
Pick: 2 units Over 104.5
Well football fans, it's finally here, -- no, not the 12th round of the NFL draft, but the long anticipated showdown between the AFL's best teams, both of whom happen to still be undefeated at the midway point of the season, making this nationally televised (on ESPN) game between the Dallas Desperados and the Philadelphia Soul, Arena FB's equivalent of last October's most watched regular season game in NFL history, between the NE Pats and Indy Colts. So who will win this game of AFL "heavy weights," dubbed the "Broad Street Brawl," as the two great football cities of Philly and Dallas renew their mutual hatred for each other stemming from the intense rivalry between the Cowboys and Eagles in the NFL. While we lean towards Philly, which has already notched two impressive road wins over LY's champion San Jose and perennial AFL power Chicago, has been playing great all year and is playing at home, it's not a high percentage play to go against Dallas either. Desperados have the top defense in AFL, allowing just 43 PPG, and they also beat LY's champion San Jose on the road, 59-55. So that leaves us with the total if we choose to have a play on this game, and despite the good defenses of both teams (Philly's also being good at #5, allowing 50 PPG and second in TO margin at +10), we will go with the Over as the best value here, as we can't see even a defense as good as Dallas stopping this potent Philly offensive unit (averaging 66 PPG on offense), or for that matter can't see Philly's defense slowing down the ruthlessly efficient Dallas offensine unit very much, either. So we will go with the Over as long as the totals line stays at 105 or less But we also recommend teasing the totals line below 100 and Philly to +1 with a 6 or 6.5 point teaser, if your have access to teasers in AFL. Finally, if you have access to second half lines in AFL and either team gets down at the half by enough to make Dallas more than a full TD underdog or Philly at least a 3 point dog on the adjusted game line (using the HT score and second half line), go with the team that is down and has the value with the second half line, barring any game ending injury to any key player(s) on thet team. Likewise, if the first half scoring is disproportionately low, consider taking the over for the second half, as these potent offenses are both too good to be held down for a full game.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Nick Parsons
Play ON Baltimore Orioles $ line (+) @ Chicago White Sox
The Orioles have lost each of the last two games in this series but should bounce back here. They hand the ball to Daniel Cabrera today and Baltimore is a perfect 5-0 in his starts so far this season. After a couple of rough outings to start the season, Cabrera has allowed two earned runs or less in each of his last three starts. In his most recent outing he only allowed five hits in eight innings of work. Also, Cabrera did not walk a single batter and he retired eleven straight batters to finish up the game. The Orioles righthander is definitely in a zone right now and he should be able to keep that going with another strong effort this afternoon. Many bettors may get caught up on Cabreras history of struggles at US Cellular Field. However, his current form is much better than what hes displayed in the past when hes struggled with his form and often had control issues. Cabrera will be opposed by Javier Vazquez of the White Sox and the Chicago righthander is off of a very poor start versus the Yankees in his most recent outing. Looks like Vazquez could be in for a rough stretch due to what we saw in his mechanics against the Yanks. Also, even though Vazquez has a solid 6-2 record against the Orioles in his career, its his 5.24 ERA that tells the full story! Look for him to get hit hard again today and, with the way that Cabrera is pitching, this means that the Orioles should get the upset win on the road here. Baltimore is a solid value play on Monday afternoon
Re: Monday Service Plays
Game: Baltimore at Chicago White Sox
Pick: Baltimore +137
Chicago goes for the sweep with Javier Vazquez, but they must get through Daniel Cabrera to get it. Cabrera is 2-0 and coming off a great performance on Wednesday in which he allowed just two runs and no walks in eight innings. In contrast Vazquez is coming off a 6-run, 10-hit performance in five and a third on Wednesday. This is a good matchup for the Orioles. Baltimore is 10-3 this season over teams allowing fewer than 4.3 runs per game. Cabrera is 22-7 against teams batting .260 or worse and 21-8 against AL Central opponents. We like Baltimore to stave off the series loss.

Winning Points
Toronto over Orlando* by 1
Let's keep it simple. From Game 4 in Toronto: "In the second half, we shot the 3 well, and that's big for us,"said Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy. "Obviously,it's a big thing for them, too, and they didn't shoot it well today."
Toronto head coach Sam Mitchell: "We've got to do a better job of stopping their dribble-penetration." TORONTO, 99-98.
Re: Monday Service Plays
Michael Cannon
15 Dime
Take the points with Toronto tonight on the road.
It's real simple for Toronto. Win or go home.
I expect the Raptors to come into this game with the sense of urgency they need in order to keep this series going. Chris Bosh broke out in Game 4 with 39 points and 15 rebounds, but he didn't get any help from the backcourt.
If Toronto can execute the pick-and-roll with T. J. Ford and Jose Calderon, then not only does Toronto stand an excellent chance of staying within the number, they'll have a shot at the outright win.
In the Raptors lone win of this series, Ford and Calderon combined for 39 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds. More importantly, they only committed four turnovers.
Look for Toronto to execute that game plan while Bosh continues to shine inside.
Now I know Dwight Howard has been a beast in this series, and he could very well lead the Magic to the series win by himself tonight. But as long as Toronto can get Bosh going inside, along with the backcourt scoring, I don't see the Magic covering this number.
Toronto is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings with Orlando.
Take the points with the Raptors as they keep it within the number.
5 Dime
YANKEES (With Mussina as listed pitcher)
Take the Yankees for the road win tonight over the Indians.
New York got a sensational pitching effort from Chien-Ming Wang in yesterday's 1-0 win over Cleveland, and tonight I expect Mike Mussina to pick up where Wang left off.
Mussina is coming off his best start of the season, a 6-4 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. The right-hander pitched seven innings, allowing just four hits and two runs.
Aaron Laffey will get the start for the Tribe tonight and he's making his season debut. You have to wonder how he'll fare against the Yankees lineup, which is still formidable despite some of the injuries they are dealing with.
Take the Yankees as they grab the road win.

Verizon (VZ) Invests Big in Virginia
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Verizon
(VZ - Get Report) announced that it has invested more than $711 million in infrastructure improvements in 2013 in the state of Virginia alone. The investments are set to benefit both residential and business customers across the state, it said.
Verizon says that it has invested over $3.7 billion in Virginia's telecom infrastructure over the past three years, including adding nearly 20,000 miles of fiber optic wiring in the state.
The telecom giant hopes that the state can be one of the hubs for its burgeoning Verizon FiOs TV and Internet services. While not a major challenger to pay-TV industry leaders Comcast
(CMCSA), Time Warner Cable
(TWC) and Dish Network
(DISH), Verizon hopes the budding infrastructure will make it competitive in the future.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- VZ's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.4%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry and the overall market, VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC is rather high; currently it is at 61.49%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.31% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 55.03% to $10,431.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 5.27%.
- VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC increased its bottom line by earning $4.00 versus $0.31 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 12.5% in earnings ($3.50 versus $4.00).

Website | library.ucsb.edu |
The University of California, Santa Barbara Library is the university library system of the University of California, Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, California. The Library include four facilities: Two libraries (the Davidson Library and the Arts Library) and two annexes (Annex I and Annex II).[1] The library has some three million print volumes, 30,000 electronic journals, 34,450 e-books, 900,055 digitized items, five million cartographic items (including some 467,000 maps and 3.2 million satellite and aerial images), more than 3.7 million pieces of microform, 167,500 sound recordings, and 4,100 manuscripts. The Library states that it holds 3.2 miles (5.1 km) of manuscript and archival collections.[2][3] According to data collected by the American Library Association, as of July 2010 the UC Santa Barbara Library holds the 99th largest library collection in America, reporting 2,948,999 volumes.[4]
The library serves UC Santa Barbara's students, faculty, and staff. The Library is also open to the public, but to borrow materials, non-University affiliated individuals must purchase a UCSB Library Card for $100 for one year. However, members of UCSB affiliates may join for a reduced fee, and students and faculty at other University of California campuses, public school teachers, and faculty from reciprocating libraries may also obtain borrowing privileges with no charge, subject to verification. Members of the UC Alumni Association may obtain a courtesy library card, which provides borrowing access, but not access to licensed databases or interlibrary loan, or the ability to check-out journals.[5]
The Davidson Library has eight floors, with the Pacific View Room on the eighth floor offering a view of the Pacific Ocean.[1][3][6]
Since 2011, the University Librarian has been Denise Stephens.[7]
The Library is planning an Addition & Renovation Project, with construction scheduled to begin in June 2013. [8] The project will include three parts: A building addition on the north side of UCSB Library; a renovation of the two-story section of UCSB Library; and seismic and code upgrades throughout the whole Davidson Library. The library will temporarily close the 70,000 square feet (6,500 m2) in the two-story section of UCSB Library over the construction period. The new and renovated facility will include a 20% increase in study space, a 24-hour Information Commons, a new Art Library, a new Special Collections research area, a Faculty Collaboration Studio, and dedicated spaces for group work. [9] The project aims to be certified LEED Gold. [10] The $71 million project comes during a time of budget crisis for the University of California system, but it is not funded through student fees or tuition dollars; rather, the project is being funded by a State of California bond sale.[11]
Davidson Library[edit]
The Donald C. Davidson Library is named in honor of Donald C. Davidson, who served as University Librarian from 1947 to 1977. It is the library's main branch, holding the general collection and several special collections: The Sciences and Engineering Library, the Map and Imagery Laboratory, the Curriculum Laboratory, the East Asian Library and the Ethnic and Gender Studies Library. The university's Department of Special Collections are also part of the Davidson Library. The Special Collections hold rare books and manuscripts and several collections, which include the Performing Arts Collection, the Wyles Collection on the American West, the Skofield Printers' Collection, and the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives.[3]
The East Asian Library was created in 1967 and is housed in the fifth floor of the Davidson Library. The East Asian Library includes around 163,700 volumes of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean-language materials. The collection has been completely online since July 2005. The bulk of the collection is Chinese (60 percent) and Japanese (39 percent); the Library began to acquire Korean works in 1992 when the university began its Korean program, and now has a few hundred titles in Korean.[12]
Department of Special Collections[edit]
The Department of Special Collections acquires, preserves, and makes accessible rare, valuable, or unique materials which support UCSB students, faculty, and research programs, as well as the scholarly community. The department's holdings are non-circulating but are available for research in the reading room. The Special Collections includes many smaller units, including:

Bernath Memorial Collection includes almost 2,000 books and more than 80 manuscript collections dealing with American diplomatic history and international relations, including the papers of James Stuart Beddie, Stuart L. Bernath, G. William Gahagan, and Charles Montgomery Hathaway. The collection's Wilson-McAdoo Collection focuses on Woodrow Wilson and family, and in particular his daughter, Eleanor Wilson McAdoo.[14]

Highlights include the papers of Bernard Herrmann, Lotte Lehmann, Judith Anderson, and Peter Racine Fricker. The collection also includes the Raymond Toole-Stott Circus Collection, which contains some 1,300 monographs on the circus in Europe and America. The Lobero Theatre Papers, also in the Performing Arts Collection, hold the organizational records of the Lobero Theatre, the oldest theater in Southern California.[17][18]
- A collection of bibles dating as early as the mid-13th century, many of which are illuminated manuscripts. The earliest original items in the collection include copies of the Santa Barbara Bible (c. 1250), Biblia Latina (c. 1297), Biblia sacra Latina (1350); A Noble Fragment (a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible, c. 1450-1455) and the Coverdale Bible (1535).

Stream Sage Francis' Nervy, Confessional Return on 'Copper Gone'
Providence rapper's new album is due out June 3 on Strange Famous Records
When splenetic, word-nerd, and Scribble Jam hero Sage Francis floated the possibility that he would slow things down after his 2010 album Li(f)e, it was viewed by many as something like a retirement. The album was a tricky collaborative record featuring members of Califone as well as the late Mark Linkous and Jason Lytle. It also contained one of his most novelistic songs, "Little Houdini," which unfolded like a Tobias Wolff-like short story and suggested that Francis might use his time away from rap to transform from a confessional MC to a great American pulp novelist.
In actuality, the rapper's time off was merely a brief respite from years of recording and touring repeat. The result of this relative moment of pause inevitably gave him time to work on his new release; the nervy, seemingly on-edge MC's Copper Gone. The album's opener is a "Pressure Cooker"—a heavy-as-hell slab of noise rap, with nods to the Bomb Squad, El-P, and maybe even some hard-rockin', pro-wrestling theme music—that indicates that Sage has lost little of his antsy edge. If anything, slowing down has only created an even bigger laundry list of things to poetically dissect. Take "Cheat Code," for example. The darkwave-tinged diss track that makes fun of goofy rappers blabbing "YOLO" and wisely takes issue with mainstream hip-hop's smarmy misreading of being "emotional." There's nobody better than Sage Francis to tell you how to properly bear your soul and Copper Gone, out June 3 on Strange Famous Records, does it well. Listen to the album in advance of its release below.

Fear of a Black Planet: Pat Buchanan Says Diversity Isn't American
Oh Pat!
Pat Buchanan is the crazy uncle many of us have in our families. You know him: He talks a little too loudly, holds views that are embarrassing, and asks you uncomfortable questions about your dating life. The difference between Buchanan and your uncle is that Buchanan has a national platform upon which to disseminate his latest views (unless of course your uncle IS Buchanan, in which case … sorry).
I'm sure many of you have heard about Buchanan's latest book on the decline of America, the awesomely titled Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? In it, he talks about the death of Christian America and the crisis of Catholicism.
But the real heart of the book is the discussion on race.

The fast-paced, free-flowing game that evolved from what James Naismith invented is not so fast-paced and free-flowing anymore. For the first time since 1982, college basketball teams are on pace to average less than 68 points per game.
The current average through March 4 games is 67.58, according to college basketball stat guru Ken Pomeroy. At this pace, we will experience the worst scoring year since 1952.
Here are some examples of the carnage: On Nov. 30, Georgetown beat Tennessee 37-36 on national TV. On Jan. 26, Eastern Michigan beat Northern Illinois 42-25, with the Huskies scoring only four points in the first half. On Feb. 6, Kansas, a blue blood of this game, scored only 13 points in the first half at TCU.
Scoring is unequivocally, statistically down, and there are three major reasons why. First, the game has slowed down substantially. Second, shooting percentages are at an all-time low. Finally, officials have allowed the game to become too physical.
Why the Game Has Slowed
Pomeroy, who runs the stats site KenPom.com, has data that shows the game has been slowing down for years. The numbers on Pomeroy's site go back to 2004 and show that this season's average tempo of 66.0 possessions per game is the slowest in the last 10 seasons.
The perception is that coaches want more control, and they are slowing their offenses down to get it. Never do you see teams like Paul Westhead's Loyola Marymount, who pushed the pace and averaged 122.4 points per game in 1990. Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn wrote about Westhead's Loyola system before the season, a piece that longed for those days of more possessions and more points.
Those days are gone. Northwestern State plays the fastest tempo in the country and averages 75.6 possessions per game, a snail's pace compared to the 103.6 possessions Loyola averaged in 1990, according to Winn's calculations.
In major conferences, it's even rarer to see anyone try to play fast. North Carolina, Ole Miss and DePaul are the only teams in one of the six major conferences that rank in the top 20 in possessions per game, according to Pomeroy's data.
If there's a misconception about pace of play, however, it's that slowing the game down is all on the offense. After all, why would a coach want fewer fast-break points?
"Defenses are more geared towards stopping transition than they were 10 years ago, and that stops teams from getting fast-break opportunities," Pomeroy said in a phone interview from his home in Salt Lake City. "Typically, there's more offensive efficiency in fast-break opportunities than half-court chances."
Take the Georgetown and Tennessee game, for example. Neither team scored a fast-break bucket in the final five minutes, and it would have benefited both squads to score fast.
According to Hoop-Math.com, the Hoyas shoot an effective field-goal percentage of 61.5 percent on their first shots that go up in the initial 10 seconds of the shot clock, and that number drops to 46.5 percent in the final 20 seconds of the shot clock. Tennessee's percentages are less drastic: 51.72 and 48.2, respectively.
The difference in efficiency for Georgetown is the norm.
Coaches realize this, so they try to combat those numbers by getting their team back on defense and sending fewer players to the offensive glass. Neither Georgetown nor Tennessee had a player pull down an offensive rebound in the final 12:48 of that game.
This isn't unusual. Look at possession data in the last 10 years and how offensive rebounding numbers have decreased.
Year | Off. Reb. % | Adj. Tempo | PPG |
2004 | 33.8 | 67.7 | 69.55 |
2005 | 33.8 | 67.3 | 69.21 |
2006 | 33.2 | 67.0 | 69.17 |
2007 | 33.5 | 66.9 | 69.46 |
2008 | 32.9 | 67.0 | 69.55 |
2009 | 32.9 | 66.5 | 68.82 |
2010 | 32.7 | 67.3 | 69.30 |
2011 | 32.3 | 66.7 | 69.05 |
2012 | 32.1 | 66.1 | 68.01 |
2013 | 31.8 | 66.0 | 67.58 |

Shorten the Shot Clock
Since there is no way to mandate coaches sending more players to the glass, the obvious solution to the pace-of-play problem is to reduce the shot clock.
When the NCAA reduced the shot clock from 45 seconds to 35 seconds in 1994, scoring went from 73.6 points per game to 75.0. Pomeroy said he believes we will soon see a change from 35 seconds to 30 seconds, and scoring would again see a slight increase.
But would a point or two really help the game that much? And at what cost?
"On a possession level, reducing the shot clock is going to benefit the defense," Pomeroy said.
Brad Stevens, the head coach at Butler, told me the same thing in November for a story that I wrote on how reducing the shot clock would impact college basketball at NBCSports.com:
I'd say a majority of our shots come well before that time," Stevens said of a 30-second clock. "The 24-second shot clock is a different animal all together, but the 30-second I think there's enough time to feel a secondary break go into action or go into multiple reversals and getting something done.
I don't think there's any doubt that it wouldn't change the game drastically if you did that, but I do think you end up more isolated earlier. With the thought that the best college players are leaving after one or two years, are college players going to really thrive in that situation? I don't think that would be the case.
Where Did All the Shooters Go?
If shortening the clock isn't the answer, how do we get more shots to fall?
The NCAA rules committee tried to fix scoring four years ago by backing up the three-point line to 20 feet, nine inches. The premise was that moving the line back one foot would give big men more space to operate in the post.
Looking at Pomeroy's data over the last 10 years, it's difficult to see much of a change from shooting outside or inside the arc, though moving the line back did produce a small drop.
Year | 3PA/FGA | 3-point % | 2-point % |
2004 | 32.7 | 34.4 | 48.0 |
2005 | 33.0 | 34.6 | 48.0 |
2006 | 33.2 | 34.8 | 48.1 |
2007 | 34.2 | 34.9 | 48.7 |
2008 | 34.4 | 35.1 | 48.4 |
2009 | 33.1 | 34.2 | 48.0 |
2010 | 32.6 | 34.2 | 47.7 |
2011 | 32.9 | 34.4 | 47.8 |
2012 | 32.9 | 34.3 | 47.8 |
2013 | 33.0 | 33.9 | 47.5 |
Note: All statistics via KenPom.com.
The two data points of note are three-point and two-point shooting percentages this season. Both are at record lows, but only by mere tenths of a percentage point.
If the shot clock is decreased, we might see these numbers drop even more. As Stevens pointed out, shorter possessions would lead to more isolation plays late in the clock (read: more bad shots).
When the shot clock was reduced in 1994, field-goal percentages dropped from 45.2 percent from the previous season to 44.3. The number of three-pointers attempted went up—14.9 to 16.5—but percentages also dropped from 35.4 to 34.5.
With all of this in mind, shortening the clock may not make the game that much more aesthetically pleasing. After all, no one wants to see more bricks—which brings us to the biggest issue.
Call a Foul!
This season, according to Pomeroy's data, players are shooting 69.2 percent from the free-throw line. That is a good mark historically—it's tied for second-best in the last 10 seasons—but officials are sending players to the line less often.
The following numbers reflect the number of free throws attempted divided by field goal attempts.
Year | FTA/FGA |
2004 | 37.1 |
2005 | 36.5 |
2006 | 36.1 |
2007 | 36.7 |
2008 | 36.3 |
2009 | 36.4 |
2010 | 37.7 |
2011 | 37.7 |
2012 | 36.4 |
2013 | 35.9 |
Note: Free throw statistics via KenPom.com.
The concern is that if officials call more fouls, there will be too many stoppages and the game will somehow be less entertaining.
No one was complaining in 1991 when scoring hit its peak. That season, the free throw rate was 38.3 percent, which is higher than any of the last 10 seasons.
What's the solution to low scoring?
So why is the NCAA not encouraging officials to blow their whistles? As Pomeroy said:
It's a really hard issue to solve. You can clean up the contact and call a bunch of fouls, and if you're able to do that, I'll be really impressed. It's so much more difficult to do that in college basketball than it is the NBA because you have conferences that hire their own officials and you don't really have a powerful authority.
He's right. Each league needs to hire its own officials. But it's not an easy issue to solve, and that's why scoring keeps falling. It's becoming increasingly difficult to not only make a shot, but to get a good one, free of contact.
Can this be fixed? Possibly.
But the NCAA doesn't need a Band-Aid or a reduced shot clock—it needs sweeping changes. It needs to enforce the rules of the game. It needs, as frightening as this may sound, to give itself more power when it comes to handling the officials.
