Both Oklahoma State University and New Mexico State University use a version of "Pistol Pete" as a mascot. OSU found that although NMSU had agreed to use a variant, some items sold in connection with its school continued to use the version infringing on OSU's. Suit was filed, but rather than expensively shooting it out in court, the two have now agreed to let a token fee cover a small leeway for infringement, and leave it at that. [Trademarkologist]

NAGPRA, counting by tribe, and the grave of Jim Thorpe
Bad enough for Congress to meddle in adoptions in hopes of helping out Indian tribes. But…burials? My new guest column at Jurist examines the first-of-its-kind lawsuit by which some descendants of Native American sports great Jim Thorpe are trying to use the law to require the borough of Jim Thorpe, Pa. to yield up his remains for re-interment in Oklahoma. It concludes:
In a nation where people regularly fall in love across ethnic lines, laws that assign rights differentially to some members of families based on descent or tribal affiliation are especially hard to justify under US Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. … Say what you will about the Third Circuit's reasoning, it at least postpones the day when tribal enmities extend into our very cemeteries, and even the dead cannot escape counting based on race.

For real liability reform, try freedom of contract
Six months ago the Delaware Supreme Court upheld the right of an enterprise to include a loser-pays provision in its bylaws, specifying that losing shareholder-litigants would have to contribute reasonable legal fees to compensate what would otherwise be loss to other owners. Since then there's been a concerted campaign to overturn the ruling, either in the Delaware legislature or if necessary elsewhere. But as I argue in a new Cato post, allowing scope for freedom of contract of this sort is one of the best and most promising ways to avert an ever-rising toll of litigation. Contractually specified alternatives to courtroom wrangling have played a vital role, and are under attack for that very reason, in curbing litigation areas like workplace and consumer arbitration, shrinkwrap and click-through disclaimers of liability, and risk disclaimers at ballparks and elsewhere. (& Stephen Bainbridge).
To the extent America has made progress in recent years in rolling back the extreme litigiousness of earlier years, one main reason has been the courts' increased willingness to respect the libertarian and classical liberal principle of freedom of contract. Most legal disputes arise between parties with prior dealings, and if they have been left free in those dealings to specify who bears the risks when things go wrong, the result will often be to cut off the need for expensive and open-ended litigation afterward.

Electronic tickets: we skip the due process and pass the savings along to you
"An Oklahoma state senator has filed a bill to allow law enforcement officers to issue electronic citations for traffic, misdemeanor and municipal ordinance violations." Sen. Al McAffrey, himself a former police officer, says approaching motorists' cars is one of the more dangerous parts of patrol officers' job. So why not let them just skip it, even if that also means skipping the opportunity for motorists to be notified of their legal jeopardy at once, see their accusers, have a chance to explain themselves, and so forth? "If they don't have to approach vehicles during traffic stops to give people tickets but can simply email traffic violation citations directly to the district court clerk then they're less likely to get into a dangerous altercation, the lawmaker said." McAffrey's S.B. 1872 would also attach a new $5 processing fee to the tickets, of which a portion would be shared with the ticketing officer's department.

ABA Journal on police forensic lab scandals
Mark Hansen in the ABA Journal with an overview of how crime labs have finally come under scrutiny following a "string of shoddy, suspect and fraudulent results" in Boston, New York, North Carolina, Nassau County, N.Y. and elsewhere.
In St. Paul, Minn., assistant public defender Lori Traub stumbled into her local lab's problems and
says she was horrified by what she found: The lab, an old-fashioned "cop shop," was run by a police sergeant with no scientific background, had no written operating procedures, didn't clean instruments between testing, allowed technicians unlimited access to the drug vault, and didn't have anyone checking anyone else's work. Analysts didn't know what a validity study was, used Wikipedia as a technical reference, and in their lab reports referred to "white junk" clogging an instrument.
It gets much worse. A West Virginia state serologist, following the DNA clearance of a man he had previously identified as a rapist, "was eventually found to have falsified test results in as many as 134 cases during a 10-year period." Oklahoma City Police Department crime lab chemist Joyce Gilchrist
who testified as a prosecution expert in 23 death penalty cases, including those of 12 inmates who were later executed, was fired in 2001 for doing sloppy work and giving false or misleading testimony. Nicknamed "Black Magic" by detectives for her seeming ability to get lab results no other chemist could, Gilchrist was never prosecuted for her alleged misdeeds, though she reportedly was named a defendant in at least one lawsuit against the city by a convicted rapist who was later exonerated.
More: And according to a new paper, it turns out that many state police labs are actually paid per conviction, a practice that tends to incentive false-positive error.

A decision support tool for shellfish management in Mississippi Sound.
KEY WORDS: oyster management, Mississippi Sound, river stage, precipitation, GIS data layers
The Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica, Gmelin 1791) is one of the economically important fisheries resources in the eastern seaboard of the United States and the US Gulf Coast region, and it accounts for more than 60% of all oysters harvested in the United States (Gore 1992). In the past few years, Mississippi has ranked second in the country in shellfish production, and harvested an average of 350,000 sacks (~15.8 million kg of oysters) per year.
Crassostrea virginica inhabits shallow waters in intertidal and subtidal zones, and their survival and production depend chiefly on phytoplankton productivity, flooding, salinity and temperature variations, levels of parasitism by Perkinsus marinus (dermo) and Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) and predators (Andrews et al. 1959, Menzel et al. 1957, Soniat et al. 1989, Powell et al. 1995, Jordan 1995). Although C. virginica tolerates a wide range of salinity with lower and upper limits of about 2 ppt and 39 ppt, respectively (Shumway 1996), high salinities and warm temperatures are conditions that favor the major predators and parasites of the shellfish. For example, the conch, Stramonita haemastoma thrives at salinities >12 ppt and can have significant predatory impacts on the oyster population (Butler 1954, Gagliano et al. 1970). Another major cause of mortality of oysters in high salinity areas and during warm months along the Gulf of Mexico is P. marinus, a parasitic protozoan (Ogle & Flurry 1980, Ray 1996, Soniat 1996). The impacts of P. marinus parasite on oysters depend on local as well as regional variations in climatic factors (Powell et al. 1992, Kim & Powell 1998).
Management of shellfish is aimed at enhancing the habitat via cultch planting and cultivation, harvest control, and minimizing the risks to humans of consuming raw contaminated shellfish. Disease outbreaks resulting from the consumption of oysters contaminated by bacterial (e.g., Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and viral pathogens (Leonard 2001, see also a review by Rose et al. 2001) have been reported in other states. The levels of these pathogens depend on climatic factors such as water temperature, intensity of solar radiation and precipitation. The latter is usually accompanied by runoff carrying pollutants into coastal waters (Lipp et al. 2001). To reduce the risks of acquiring diseases caused by consumption of contaminated oysters, the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC) formed the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) that developed criteria for the protection of shellfish harvesting waters (ISSC et al. 1999). For example, the Mississippi Ordinance 1.016 section 22.214.171.124. requires a shellfish harvesting area to be closed "when the geometric mean of the seawater from compliant sampling stations in the area exceed a fecal coliform most probable number (MPN) of 14 per 100 mL and/or more than 10% of the samples exceed a MPN of 43 for a 5-tube 3 dilution test."
In Mississippi, rainfall amounts and/or Pearl River stage are used as metrics for closing shellfish harvesting areas in Mississippi Sound. Many years of studies indicate that both factors are highly correlated with fecal coliform levels (Chigbu et al. 2004a). Each of the nine conditionally approved shellfish harvesting areas in Mississippi has specific closure criteria. These are monitored by designated MDMR personnel using sources such as telephone, various official reports, internet, as well as by direct observation, as stated in the Ordinance 1.016. The objective of our study is to design a GIS-based decision support tool that will ease the process of shellfish management in the state. Although GIS-based tools and methods have been developed for various projects including, microbial risk assessments (Kistemann et al. 2001a, 2001b), environmental impact assessments (Gustafson et al. 2001, Sahin & Kurum 2002), flood area and damage estimation (Renyi & Nan 2002) and resource management (Webb & Bacon 1999), to our knowledge none is available for use in shellfish management in the US Gulf Coast region.
Study Area
Mississippi Sound has a mean depth at midtide level of 3 m, and is partially separated from the northern Gulf of Mexico by a number of barrier Islands. Within the estuary, water from the Gulf mixes with water that flows in from a number of bayous and rivers. The Pearl and Pascagoula Rivers account for more than 90% of freshwater discharge into the Sound (Eleuterius 1978). The Mobile and Mississippi Rivers sometimes contribute significant freshwater into the eastern and western portions of the Sound, respectively (Orlando et al. 1993). The eastern and western parts of the Sound have more variable and lower salinities than the central part of the Sound. Under most conditions, Mississippi Sound is partially or well mixed because of tidal action and winds (Eleuterius 1978).
Pearl River is about 789 km long and drains an area of approximately 23,000 [km.sup.2] before emptying into the western part of the Mississippi Sound, an area that contains some of the most productive oyster populations in the Southeastern United States (Gore 1992). Studies conducted from June 1973 to February 1975 (Eleuterius 1977) suggested that the area experiences bottom minimum and maximum salinity of 2.0-4.0 ppt and 18.0-22.0 ppt, respectively.
Oyster Management in Mississippi Sound
The Department of Marine Resources manages about 17 natural oyster reefs in Mississippi. About 97% of the harvested oysters in Mississippi come from the reefs in the western part of the Mississippi Sound. Management of the Sound for shellfish harvesting is currently based on Pearl River stage, local rainfall amounts and fecal coliform counts (Table 1). River Stage information is collected directly from the USGS website for specific river gauges. The National Weather Service web-site is monitored for rainfall from three NOAA rain gauge locations: Bay St. Louis, Waveland and Pascagoula, MS.
Historical data on fecal coliform levels during the oyster-harvesting season (typically October to April), have been used by shellfish managers to classify Mississippi Sound into areas designated as Approved, Conditionally Approved, Prohibited, Restricted or Unclassified. Harvesting of oysters for direct consumption is permitted only in areas designated as approved or conditionally approved. At present, nine areas are designated as conditionally approved, each of which has specific opening and closing criteria (Table 1), based on rainfall amounts and/or river stage as outlined in the Mississippi Ordinance 1.016. Beside heavy precipitation, other factors listed in the Ordinance that may result in temporary closures of an approved or conditionally approved area include "a hurricane, flooding, chemical spill, hazardous waste or raw sewage discharge, sinking or grounding of vessels carrying hazardous cargoes, evidence of the existence of marine biotoxins."
The GIS data layers that were used in the tool included the oyster reefs, shellfish management areas, sampling stations for water quality monitoring, Gulf Coast imagery, and the USGS river gauge locations. The tool was designed using the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS 8.3 Arcview and Microsoft Access. The ESRI package provides the user the capability to use geographic data, as well as a programming environment that integrates Visual Basic for application and the ArcObjects library. Microsoft acts as an external relational database that is used to store the metrics for each of the oyster zones as well as the current and historical gauge measurement and information data. The tool automatically obtains river gauge information from the USGS website: http://waterdata.gov, and the National Weather Service (NWS) precipitation data from the NOAA website: http:// www.srh.noaa.gov. Because the gauge data are ingested from the various websites, they are parsed and stored in the corresponding table in the backend database. On a predetermined time interval, the application is designed to use the current gauge data to decide whether an area should be closed, and then uses data on fecal coliform counts to determine whether the area should be reopened. The fecal coliform information is stored in a separate Access database. The readings are stored in a database at a remote laboratory and then transferred to the cataloging database via an automated E-mail application. The tool was built to run on an IBM compatible with Windows 2000 operating system and the following specifications:
(a) CPU speed of 450 MHz (minimum); 800 MHz or higher is recommended
(b) A pentium or higher processor
(c) Memory/RAM 128 MB (minimum); 256 MB or higher recommended
(d) Swap space 300 MB (minimum)
(e) Disk space of 695 MB FAT32 for the ESRI software, and 300 MB for data storage
The shellfish decision support tool consists of 5 major components, namely, the Shellfish Management, Manual Close, External Conditions, Rules Change and Strategic Management, the functions of which are summarized in Table 2. The display user interface for the tool (Fig. 1) is divided into 5 areas.
Area 1 contains the typical user interfaces found in normal office applications such as MSWord, MSExcel, including "file save, exit, copy and paste," in addition to some ArcInfo 8.2 functionality.
Area 2 contains the graphical user interfaces (GUI) for the Shellfish Management Application. The tool bar has buttons, each of which operates a separate function within the application.
(a) The Shellfish Management function button continually monitors river stage and precipitation and automatically recommends whether an oyster harvesting area should be closed. The program's recommendations are reviewed by the DMR officials who then decide whether to accept or reject the recommendations.
When the data being monitored by the application indicate a status change to a Shellfish Management area, a Shellfish Management Form (Fig. 2) automatically opens. The form has 5 areas that show Program Recommendations, National Weather Service (NWS) data comprising information on rain gauges at Waveland, Bay Saint Louis and Pascagoula, MS and the US Geological Survey (USGS) Pearl River stage data at Pearl River, Louisiana. In addition, the form has a time stamp that shows the latest time that the external data from the gauges were collected from external websites by the shellfish application. Finally, the form has an error message display area. If no value is found for rainfall, an error message will notify the user in the area, and if the value is invalid, it will be presented as "-9999" in the table.
When the program recommendations button is selected from the Shellfish Management Form, the program recommendations form opens (Fig. 3) to allow DMR staff to review the reasons why the application is recommending a status change. The application's recommendation can then be accepted or rejected by the DMR staff.
There are 5 areas on the Program Recommendations Form: (1) Area Tabs; (2) Recommendation; (3) Reason for Recommendation; (4) Reason for Rejection and (5) Process Recommendation.
The area tabs consist of nine separate and distinct tabs; each tab contains information specific for a particular area. If the tab heading is in bold, it indicates the particular area has a recommended status change otherwise, no status change recommendation exists.
The recommendation tab has a title that shows either Recommend Open or Recommend Close, which is associated with check boxes for use by DMR staff to indicate an acceptance or rejection of the application's recommendation. The reason for recommendation tab describes why the application is recommending a change for the area. The reason for rejection tab is for use by DMR officials to record their reasons for rejecting a recommendation made by the tool. The reason will be stored in the database and can be reviewed by the current status or history reports functions. The process recommendation tab is selected to update the display with the current status (whether accepted or rejected). If a status change was recommended and this button is not selected, the display will not reflect the status changes. This tab should be selected after all areas have been reviewed and recommendations are either accepted or rejected. The map display will reflect the changes accepted (e.g., Fig. 4). The program "recycles" every four hours when more information is received from the USGS and NWS websites. If an area is not closed, even though the application recommends it, the area will again be recommended to close when the program recycles in four hours.
(b) The external conditions buttons are used to close and reopen areas for events that are not routinely monitored by the Shellfish Management application. The add external conditions allows an event to be pinpointed on the map with either latitude/longitude coordinates or a mouse-click on the screen. The delete external conditions button removes external conditions, which have been previously established.
When the external conditions buttons are selected, the external conditions form (Fig. 5) opens. This form consists of nine areas: (1) Event Location; (2) Area Name and Present Status; (3) Date/Time; (4) Latitude/Longitude; (5) New Status; (6) Open/Close All Zones; (7) External Condition; (8) Operator Comments and (9) Set Status.
The event location button allows one to identify the location of an event by selecting entered mouse click or entered by coordinate value. The area name and present status button lists all of the areas and their present statuses. The area(s) can be selected by left-clicking the mouse. To select more than one area, hold down the shift key while selecting the area with the mouse. Areas that are selected are highlighted.
The date and time stamp is used to record the time and date that the manual close function is used. This is recorded for the current status and history reports.
The longitude and latitude buttons are used to display the longitude and latitude of where the external conditions symbol is on the map display.
The new status button allows the selection of an open or close status of the areas selected in the area names window. Selection is made by clicking on the arrow, which prompts a drop-down menu with Open and Closed to open.
The Open/Close all zones button allows one to select and close or open all areas in the area names list.
The External Condition button allows for the selection of the type of external condition that has warranted closure of an area.
The Operator Comments area is provided to allow additional comments to be noted. These comments are retained for the report features.
The Set Status button is clicked after all the external conditions have been established to process the decision.
(c) The history report button allows DMR to generate reports of the opening and closing events that have taken place for a particular area, including the reasons for change in status.
(d) The status report button generates a visual and/or a printed report for the current status of each of the shellfish harvesting areas.
(e) The rules change button allows the monthly rule tables to be changed for any of the shellfish harvesting areas. Rainfall amount, river gauge levels, fecal coliform counts, and the values that determine river crest and river rerise can be changed using this function.
When the rules change button is selected, the rules change form (Fig. 6) will open and is used to change the criteria for each shellfish management area to open or close, when approved by the authorized person at DMR. There are 6 areas on the form: (1) Select Area ID; (2) Area Information (for area ID); (3) River Gauge Information; (4) Rain Gauge Information; (5) Area Information (for river crest and rerise) and (6) Form Navigation. The rules change function is password protected.
The select area ID allows one to select the area that requires a change in its rule criteria. The area information shows the area ID and the seasonal condition rule (area classification status).
The river gauge information gives information about the river gauge, such as the agency that it belongs to, as well as the ID, name, and the measurement units. It also has the limit box used to set the maximum height of the river allowed before closing a shellfish area, and the period box used to set the maximum time (in hours). In Figure 6, for example, Area IIC--CA is recommended to close when the Pearl River gauge reaches 12.5 ft.
The rain gauge information gives details about the rain gauge, such as agency, ID and name and measurement units. The limit box within the rain gauge information area is used to set the maximum amount of rain (in inches) allowed before closing a shellfish area. The period box is used to set the maximum time (in hours) of rain accumulation. For example, in Figure 6, Area IIC-CA is recommended to close when the Waveland rain gauge shows that it has rained 2 inches in the last 24 h period.
The area information section displays the values the application uses for river crest and rerise. In addition, the maximum acceptable geometric mean fecal coliform count is set here. The crest value change is used to determine when the application considers a river crest has occurred. It considers the river to have crested if the level has dropped 0.04 ft below the highest river value recorded since closure. The ReRise value is used to set the application's river's rerise condition. The river is considered to have reached a level of "re-rise" (which could indicate a condition to close the area again) if the river stage is 0.15 ft above the level that caused the closure. The acceptable geometric mean area is used to set the maximum value for fecal coliform count allowed to keep a shellfish management area open for harvesting.
The navigation area allows the operator to navigate through the rules change records by clicking on the previous and next buttons on the bottom of the form.
(f) The manual close button, like the external condition function, allows the program to be operated outside of the scope of the shellfish management rules closure recommendations. The rules closure criteria affect only the conditionally approved areas. In contrast, the manual close function allows any area to be closed.
(g) The strategic management button allows for a year-end evaluation of the shellfish harvesting areas, based on calculations of the geometric means of fecal coliform counts. Fecal coliform data of water samples from each area are used by the application to calculate the geometric mean of the fecal coliforms for each water sample station. These results can then be used by DMR to reclassify areas as approved or conditionally approved. An area can be classified as approved "if the bacteriological quality of the water of every sampling station does not exceed a fecal coliform median or geometric mean MPN of 14 per 100 mL, and not more than 10% of the samples exceed an MPN of 43 for a 5-tube 3 dilution test" as presented in the ordinance. An area may be classified as conditionally approved if the area meets approved area standards under certain conditions specified in the areas management plan (e.g., rainfall or river stage at a particular location is less than the maximum allowed for in the management plan).
Area 3 is known as the table of contents, and shows what layers are active in the map display area.
Area 4 consists of tools used to move around the map display area.
Area 5 is the map display area, where the shellfish management areas are displayed. They will be color-coded as to their status.
Fecal coliform reports are used mainly for two reasons with regard to the shellfish management areas. First, recent fecal coliform counts are used in determining whether the shellfish harvesting areas can be reopened after a rise in river stage and/or a rain event. Second, the strategic management function of the application will evaluate all of the fecal coliform counts for an entire season. The counts are then computed and used to re-evaluate if the shellfish management area should be classified as approved or conditionally approved. DMR collects water samples from various stations, which are then analyzed for fecal coliforms at the US FDA approved Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The fecal coliform data are sent to DMR via e-mail. The shellfish management application was designed to perform a semiautomatic ingestion of the newly delivered data into the DMR database and also calculate the geometric mean fecal coliform counts to recommend whether to reopen the reefs.
The Pearl River has much influence on the water quality in the western part of the Mississippi Sound, hence Pearl River stage along with rainfall amount are two important variables that the shellfish management tool monitors for closing shellfish harvesting areas. Pearl River stage varies seasonally (Chigbu et al. 2005a), with a peak in late winter/early spring and a minimum in summer/ early fall. The river stage also varies between years because of the influence of ENSO events on precipitation (Chigbu et al. 2004). Both seasonal and interannual variations in Pearl River stage are accompanied by increased levels of fecal coliforms, which in turn determine the duration that the conditionally approved shellfish harvesting areas are opened for shellfish harvesting. In fact, Pearl River stage explains as much as 90% of the variations in fecal coliform concentrations in the western part of the Sound (Chigbu et al. 2004).
Fecal coliform levels often peak in water after rain events. In Mississippi Sound, fecal coliform levels peak within 48 h of a major local rain event (>0.5 inches), whereas Pearl River stage typically crests within about 96 h of a rain event (Chigbu et al. 2005b). It is therefore, reasonable to use the total amount of rainfall within a period of 24 consecutive hours for determining whether an area should be closed in the shellfish management tool.
To our knowledge this is the first decision support tool developed for shellfish management in the US Gulf coast area. Although it was developed for use in Mississippi, it can be easily modified for use in other states. It is easy to use; it simplifies the process of closing and opening of the conditionally approved shellfish harvesting areas, and it maintains a time series database of the water quality on which closing and opening of reefs are based as well as management actions that have been taken. It thus facilitates data analysis and preparation of reports. The tool was installed and successfully tested at DMR during the 2003/2004 shellfish harvesting season. Plans are underway to adapt the tool for use in other states.

TABLE 1. Criteria for closing conditionally approved shellfish harvesting areas Area Closing criteria Area IB-CA 10 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 2 inches rainfall Area II A-CA 10 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 1 inch rainfall Area II B-CA 10 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 1 inch rainfall Area II C-CA 12.5 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 2 inches rainfall Area II D-CA 10 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 1 inch rainfall Area III-CA 2 inches rainfall Area IV-CA 10 ft Pearl River Stage and/or 1 inch rainfall Area V-CA 2 inches rainfall Area VIII-CA 0.75 inches rainfall TABLE 2. Main components of the shellfish management tool and their functions Main components Functions 1. Shellfish management * Monitors rainfall and river gauge data and compares it to monthly rule criteria for each area. * Recommends closure of an area when certain criteria have reached the threshold defined in the Shellfish Management Plan. * Allows for fecal coliform counts to be analyzed, and determines when it is safe to re-open an area for oystering. 2. Manual close * Provides DMR officials with the ability to allow some other closing conditions such as oil spills and hurricanes which are not automatically monitored by the application. * When an area has been manually closed, it can only be manually reopened. * The manual close function prohibits or "locks-out" normal operations of the shellfish management function for the area(s) normally closed. 3. External conditions * Allows DMR officials to close for other specified reasons, hence it is similar to the Manual close function. * Allows latitude and longitude coordinates to be associated with the closing event. 4. Rules change * Allows the tool to remain up-to-date with amendments to Ordinance 1.016 by making it possible for DMR officials to change any closing or opening criteria (e.g. river stage levels, rainfall amounts, geometric mean MPN level) for any of the conditionally approved areas. 5. Strategic management * Used for longer term (e.g., 1 year) evaluation of the shellfish harvesting areas based on fecal coliform counts, in order to determine whether a re-classification of oyster-harvesting areas is necessary.

Stupid question time. Do flaked oats get steeped with the regular grains in an extract recipe? My first time using these and I'm unsure.
BTW I'm attempting Dude's pub ale recipe.
Yes. You would be better off with a mini-mash, but steeping will work.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Thanks for the reply David. I slowed down and thought about it and figured if they were included in the grain bill, then they should be steeped with the grains.
Partial mashes are on the list of things to come.

|Alright Demps, we know you read this board now so here's the deal:
Posted by oncealurker on 7/18 at 11:22 amA fellow PTer and good friend of mine has just convinced me that Demps does in fact read this board. We discussed last offseason about getting Asik, and look what happened. Not only that, but we also mentioned how great Demps would be if he could pull it off without giving up Anderson. So he goes and does that. Back in February I started a thread about Jimmer and last night Demps pulls off the move to bring him in. Now obviously he waited some time so he didn't make it look so plain and obvious to us that he reads our board.
So here's the deal guys: let's make a realistic list of guys that we want Dell to go after and Dell, because he seems to value our opinion so much, will make it happen. Now again, it must be realistic. No Lebrons, PGs, Melos.
I'll start us off and the most mentioned target is who we want Dell to pursue. Oh and thanks for reading Mr. Demps.
I'll go with Wilson Chandler, Denver Nuggets SF

Posted by touchdownjeebus on 7/18 at 12:24 pm to Mr.PerfectI am not sold on Monty, but Dell has amassed quite a load of talent, and did it largely with slight of hand.
We just landed Asik and we gave up a shitty (hopefully) pick. We need a contribute at the 3, and time to gel.

Posted by SHMILL on 7/18 at 12:32 pm to oncealurkerThe target, at this point, would have to be Khris Middleton.
6'8" SF - specialty is shooting; at best when it comes off an assist.
He makes $915,000 this coming year with a qualifying offer the following year for $1.1mil
Darius Miller and a future 2nd rounder for him? Contracts are similar…I know we just re-signed Miller but would the future 2nd be enough to get him from a team that just landed its future at SF in Jabari Parker? I think it would be..
Middleton is expendable right now and he's young, cheap and can shoot.
He's the target. Get him.

Why is he so popular on here?
Does it not worry anyone that he didn't do much for 8 years and finally had a good year last year? And isn't he more of a 2 than a 3?
Or do we think he has it figured out now and he's going to be good every year going forward?
Anyways, I've just been surprised how much his name has popped up over the last week.
ETA: Not saying it's wrong to like Green, just trying to figure out why he's such a popular name around here.

My boyfriend and I are used to staying in bungalows and surf lodges when we travel to Mexico and Central America but in Cabo we were out of element because of so many resorts up and down the beaches. When we finally came upon SurfinCabo B&B we were overjoyed! Finally, an oasis in unfamiliar territory. David, who runs the B&B was a great host and our room was cozy. David led us to the best surf spots, gave us insight on Cabo's surfing culture and community. He is a local expert and it was fantastic to have him as a resource. The B&B overlooks a well-known surf break with unbelievable Sunrise views. It was incredibly gorgeous there and it didn't break the bank if you know what I mean!?!

Day 69/365 - the official, PG version.
Also week 2 for 52 portraits
For =Tom='s mega FGR challenge... because it is his last day and I love him tooooooooooooooo!
FGR hoops for today:
Three testimonials:
Emily - as the creative, candid inspiration she is
Maitexu - hmm, tried to write you one but think your testimonial receiving machine may actually be full! (and doesn't that say it all)
=Tom= 'cos he is a complete star!
Six groups:
2. Happy Sundays: who wouldn't be happy with a bra on their head?!
3. Funny faces: need I explain?
4. Ugly underwear club: well, isn't that obvious and... see next entry
5. Presents gone wrong: well, here's the twist, the underwear IS the present gone wrong. My loving partner, filled with good intentions (but without me knowing) told his mother how hard it is for me to find nice, fitting bras ('cos I am so flat chested) but that I found lots of nice ones in Hong Kong, presumably 'cos it is a more common issue over there. a) it mortifies that he would tell that to my mother in law - I don't have that kind of relationship with her and b) when she went to Hong Kong, she went out and bought about 5 bras for me (in my super-tiny size). Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that is too embarrassing. And as it happens this one was way too plain for me to want to wear it ever, anyway. Bless her heart!
6. (Five) Things you might not know about me:
- I am extremely flat chested and used to cry when going to lingerie shops 'cos I love lingerie so much but the pretty stuff I was dreaming would make me look sexy just didn't come in my size or it made me look and feel stupid!... but it is okay, I have found my peace with my tiny tatas, now, and those who matter seem to like them. Edit: you'll notice I didn't play the 'save the tatas game' 'cos didn't want to draw attention to that part of myself... but seeing Tom take the plunge and expose himself gave me the courage to give it a try, too. Woohoo!
- I once had a butter fight. You know kinda like a water fight, but with butter. We ran all over the college halls, hid in closets to out fox each other (it was just me and my best girl friend) and it lasted for ages and we were very gunky at the end.
- I ate peanut butter and jam muffins for lunch today. I like debaucherous, no cooking, kiddie-home-alone type meals. They make me feel young!
- I am a healer, bonafide can see auras and past lives type of healer.
- I love being barefoot and think shoes, roads, gravel and anything anti-barefeet should be banned. I still walk around barefoot whenever I can including in London, in pooring rain, dodging cars and walking through puddles... oh, hippies!
- Bonus fact ('cos I think the last one was a bit weak): I bought special gluten and dairy free chocolate chip cookies for a friend struggling with allergies and then ate them all on the bus on the way up to see her. I wish I could say that was the only time I did that kind of thing... And the funniest thing is that I always confess as soon as I see them!
Texture by the oh so talented ghostbones.
PS and I continue to work on my portfolio of facial expressions for .Sandhu =)
Blogged # here.
m.gruber, semi_grrl_jessica_7845, and 9 other people added this photo to their favorites.
I love it that people are running around with underwear on their head today.. having butter fights and all.. :-)
Love this! Such cute photo for such a crazy day! I really want someone to read my aura! That's awesome!
Love the expression!!!
great. The bra hat is a good look for you. I love how you cropped it.
Love the bra on the head bit. I need to copy that one!
I love the face and the texture and the tones. Great shot.
I adore your 5 things. I'm loving that you are a healer, so is my Mom.
But what I love the most is how you made me feel by taking the time to honor me with such a lovely testimonial. Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sparkling Heart, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Your photo Sparkled my Heart
Please invite your contacts to the group
This is the best face expression!
Your expression is brilliant, and I just love your five things about yourself!! How incredible that you're a healer. And I'm a fan of kiddie-home-alone lunches, too. Awesome capture!!
@ M.Gruber: Thank you. I am working my way through the 6000 human facial expressions my friend Sandhu said we are capable of :p
@Hollandrayne: yeah, boo to shoes!
@LookingSmug: well, she is Chinese and does not speak English, so the only way she'll know is if somebody rats on me!!
@Tom: no you are awesome, you... nah, stop it! As for healerdom... funny almost erased that one, so scared to 'put myself out there', as they say. Anyway, yes, I have studied nutrition, PSYCH-K, flower essences (mostly from the Australian outback) and healing and have practiced all of them, on and off. My day job is another (at the mo) but healing seems to run in the family so it is somehow always with me.
@jkingone: why, where do you put yours?!
@annieK bananie: don't worry about the aura thing too much. If you are happy, your aura will be glowing, if you are stuck it will not. You know how you feel - you don't need somebody else to tell you ;)
@TXAlleKat: Cheers.
@ paida70: Thank you, gal.
@Maitexu: 'cos you are worth it!
@ Kunal Rajput: thanks.
@S. Diddy (rapster): Thank you. More to come!
@bowiemarcy: thanks. Everybody can heal. It is like singing. Everyone can and should sing, at least to themselves (as it feels great) even if not everybody is going to be Maria Callas. :)
A good expression.
haha,i like your idea of boldly go beyond.Very true and beautiful.
I really love the expression!
Haha - funny expression - love the new head-gear as well :) Great selfie :)
@brickjz: thank you, friend
@carakatze: cheers
@torhagen: welcome back. woot, woot. LOVE YOU!

RE: William Jasper Howell
I put all the records that I could find for the Clifton cemetery into findagrave.com. That includes all the headstone records plus quite a number of names from the sexton's records for which there is no headstone. There is a Jasper Howell for which there is no headstone and no dates, just a name. There is no other William Jasper Howell except the 1861 - 1932 William Jasper Howell. Sorry I can't help you more.
