All winter long, the temperature has been above normal, the precipitation below level, and even the wind hasn't been too bad.
Now that it's kidding and lambing time, Mother Nature is having her way. Our sheep are quite pregnant and it's time to shear. Another two weeks and it will be past time to shear.
We've had several discussions with out shearer, and he's been pushed way behind schedule by a series of late winter snow storms, beginning the end of January.
What's the forecast?
Snow tomorrow (Monday), maybe snow again Friday, and the same thing about every 4 to 5 days for the next 21 days. Sigh.
Last year the sheep were sheared just before lambing (like about 3 days) and it's terribly risky. We lost a set of trips that we think was the result of the ewe struggling so much.
This is our first year with goats, having helped the neighbors for a couple of years. Our pygmy dam is wider than she is long, and can barely get through her shelter door. We'll be moving her this week into an unused pig pen, with a bigger door. Don't want to take any chances of chilled kids.
The two Nubians won't be far behind with their first kids. They can still get through the shelter door, so no problem there. Same thing with the French Alpine. In fact, we're not totally sure she's preggie, unless she's having a single kid.
This year, we're a bit more prepared, even having a couple of lamb coats for anyone that may be chilled. We've rebuilt the "teat bucket" in hopes of not having to use it. We really prefer the lambs all nurse from a ewe.
Beginning March 1, we'll be on "kid watch". That means four hour goat checks around the clock, even during snow storms, wind storms, etc. Right after that, it's "lamb watch" for the next 3 weeks.
Of course, once there are babies, it's all hands to the pens for as long as it takes, whenever it happens. No more rest for us...

WATERLOO – Wilfrid Laurier University is looking for a new head coach for its football team following the resignation of long-time coach Gary Jeffries.
The university announced Thursday evening that Jeffries decided to step down as head coach and manager of football operations for the Golden Hawks.
"I felt the time was right to make this decision," Jeffries said in a statement.
"Laurier has been my home, my work and my family for over 40 years but the time has come to pass the torch. It will be very difficult to not be on the sidelines come September next year but I know this decision is right for me and for the football program."
The resignation comes after a miserable season in which Laurier creaked into the playoffs with a 3-5 record, but failed to score a touchdown in the final month of its schedule. The Hawks were shut out 34-0 by Queen's University last Saturday in an Ontario conference quarterfinal game.
Jeffries, 66, still had one season remaining on his contract with Laurier. Last week, prior to the playoff loss, he said he planned to honour his contract and come back for another season.
"Gary is leaving behind a great tradition of success with Golden Hawk football," Peter Baxter, Laurier's director of athletics and recreation, said in a news release.
"He has always been a fierce competitor and wanted to win more than anyone else on the field. The success that he brought to Laurier will leave a lasting legacy, one that we will ensure is continued moving forward."
Jeffries had a role with the football team for 35 years, including the last 10 as head coach.
As head coach, he compiled a record of 69 wins and 31 losses and led Laurier to a national championship in 2005, when the Hawks won the Vanier Cup by a score of 24-23 over the Saskatchewan Huskies.
Before becoming the head coach in 2003, Jeffries served for 17 seasons as the Hawks defensive co-ordinator. A former defensive back with the Hawks, he started his coaching career in 1973 when he assumed responsibility for the defensive line and linebackers.
Jeffries also was the head coach of Laurier's men's basketball team for eight years, from 1989-90 to 1996-97, and head coach of the women's basketball team for five years, from 1984-85 to 1988-89.
Baxter said Laurier will begin a national search to find a new head coach for the football team.
"It is now our goal to find a new leader who will build upon the legacy that Gary is leaving behind," he said

State Fair Community College's Phi Beta Lambda and business program students will be hosting their 10th annual Hire Attire professional clothing sale next week, and they are still looking for donations.
Clothing was collected Thursday on campus, and Laura Taylor, adjunct instructor and chair of the Hire Attire Committee, said they had a large amount of items already.
"It's going really well," she said. "We had probably 20 racks with clothes on them. They're not totally full yet, but a good selection. We have a variety of sizes anywhere from petite to women's size 20. And some nice men's shirts and pants and suits. And a rack of dresses, plus shoes, purses and ties."
Items will be collected again from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday in Thompson Conference Center in the Heckart Center on campus. Items requested include jackets, slacks, shirts, ties, blouses, skirts, suits, dresses, sweaters and accessories, but so far Taylor said the item they have the least of is women's dress pants.
"I'm surprised we don't have any more ladies pants than we do, but we still have another whole day," she said. "You never know, it's just a leap of faith every time we have collection days. We have no idea what we'll get, but we have some really nice, quality name brand clothes. We had someone from Jefferson City, Warsaw and Warrensburg bring clothes in today, and some of them had donated before."
To help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event, there will be drawings throughout the sale next week. During the student sale Wednesday, students who purchase 10 items will have their name put in a drawing for one of three $100 gift cards to JCPenney. Once the sale is open to the public, there will also be four $50 gift cards to JCPenney given away.
The money raised goes toward the Hire Attire Scholarship, which is given away during honors convocation each year. The $500 award helps a student graduating with an associate's in applied science purchase clothing for their professional career, or it can be used to purchase technology.
"It helps them get their wardrobe established," Taylor said. "One year we had a young lady whose house burned down. She got a job and needed clothes, so it was a godsend for her."
The event raises money for scholarships, but it also gives students the chance to help them succeed in finding a job after graduation. Taylor said she's heard plenty of stories from students who benefited from the sale, and not just in their professional lives.
"We like to think we're student-centered and this is really student focused," she said. "I had a student come in one year who said 'I can't tell you how beneficial this is this year, my husband left me with the clothes on my back.' Someone gave her $20, and she was able to get 20 items to help her through the next few months.
"It really benefits the students. It says a lot when donors save clothes every year just for Hire Attire. They think it's such a worthwhile project."
There will be a fashion show highlighting some of the available items beginning at noon Wednesday in Lamm's Landing outside the Stauffacher Center for the Fine Arts. In case of inclement weather, it will be in the Yeater Learning Center lobby.
The sale is open to SFCC students from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, and it will open to the public and students from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and from 8 a.m. to noon Thursday. It will take place in the Thompson Conference Center in the Heckart Science and Allied Health Center. Each item will cost $2 on Wednesday and $1 on Thursday.
For more information, email Taylor at email@example.com or call Cathy Wilson at 530-5800, ext. 7207.

Joan Rivers, 81, the acid-tongued survivor of popular comedy and entertainment, died Sept. 4. Who could possibly find it funny?
Joan would have.
Humor, she said, was how she dealt with all life's triumphs and defeats.
She once said, "I knew I was funny and I knew it was powerful" as early as 8 years old.
Born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, the daughter of Russian immigrant Jews, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Barnard. ("My mother wanted M.D. to stand for Make Dollars.")
But she couldn't get a door opened to the stage until she started making the gatekeepers — the agents' secretaries — laugh.
She worked her way up through New York comedy clubs, over into TV and finally, after seven auditions, onto a stand-up stint on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." By 1983, she was Carson's regular guest host until a bitter feud over her competing TV endeavors brought their friendship to an end.
Rivers' first marriage ended in divorce; her second ended in tragedy when her husband killed himself. Even so, she said, "I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive."
Editor's Note: Spoilers ahead! You've been warned.
Over the past eight episodes of The Leftovers, HBO's latest drama based on Tom Perrotta's play of the same name, viewers have been treated to a case study in grief and faith in the midst of a life-changing event. Unlike the Left Behind series, which incorporated Christian triumphalism with terrible theology, The Leftovers examines the deeper human and spiritual issues of what would happen were two percent of the population to suddenly disappear. It is powerful and beautiful and really hard to watch (especially Episode Five). It asks the question: does life go on when your world is changed forever?
The show offers a variety of responses to the Sudden Departure of October 14: Kevin Garvey, the police chief who seems to be losing his mind after his wife leaves him for a cult and after his father needs to be committed; Nora Durst, who's lost her entire family, so she keeps everything exactly as it was when the Sudden Departure occurred; Rev. Matt Jamison, Nora's brother whose faith has been shaken because he was not taken; the town dogs who have become feral; and finally, the creepiest citizens of Mapleton, the Guilty Remnant, or the GR as they're "affectionately" known.
This past week's episode gave us a greater understanding of the GR. Although the nihilistic views of the Guilty Remnant are quite different from those of Christianity, I was struck by their powerful and strategic mission of witness. The cult was formed out of the recognition that everything changed on October 14 and that to pretend otherwise was foolish. The group, in their white clothes, their silence, their stripped-down existence, bears witness to the fact that they are living reminders of what happened. They are fundamentalists about their cause and willing to die for it — even if that death comes from their own hands.
We lost a funny man on Monday to a sad and persistent disease. Robin Williams passed away last night of an apparent suicide.
In memory of Williams, we've compiled a few of our favorite scenes.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that Christianity is in decline in the western world by all accounts. From progressive mainline churches to evangelical mega-churches, most institutional religious bodies are experiencing precipitous drops in attendance and giving. Meanwhile, the Christian voice in the civil and political conversations is also giving way to other perspectives, be they Jewish, Muslim, or secular humanist. It's no longer a dark mark on one's social character to say they don't go to church, or even that they're not a Christian.
For many leaders within organized Christian circles, this is all a call to arms, a warning shot across the proverbial bow to wake us up from our slumber and engage the impinging culture war with renewed commitment.
But as I suggest in my new book, postChristian: What's Left? Can we fix it? Do we care? It's actually good news. Granted, it may not slow the decline and closure of churches anytime soon, and we Christians will likely continue to lose some degree of political clout, but I argue that this isn't the point. It never was. And in fact, our numerical, political and even financial success in recent generations has taken us far off track.
This Friday, a movie version of the classic novel "The Giver" opens in theaters with an impressive cast, including Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges. "The Giver," originally written by Lois Lowry, explores a seemingly perfect world where all conflicts have been resolved and annoyances — such as bad weather and adolescent "stirrings" — have been eradicated, allowing this culture to achieve a beautiful state of "sameness."
As you can imagine, this utopian society is not so utopian. "The Giver" focuses on young Jonas, who has been selected for a daunting task: to serve as society's sole proprietor of memory and emotion. Jonas learns about pain and sadness, but also experiences beautiful colors, a thrilling sleigh ride and ultimately learns to feel love. In other words, Jonas learns what it means to be human — and that his world may not be so perfect after all.
"The Giver" is the latest in a wave of dystopian stories that have washed over America in recent years. From this summer's "Purge" sequel and "Under the Dome" to the latest "Hunger Games" movie (due out in November), people can't get enough of these apocalyptic fantasies, in which seemingly perfect worlds turn horrific.
Why such an appetite for dystopian stories now?
No abundant bright bloom of flowers on the CD cover or obscure Latin in the title or gentle dance of cursive font describing the song list, nothing can hide that this is not your light-and-breezy summer release of cruising-with-the-top-down jams, but rather, a full-blown concept album of folk hymns about the art of dying.
The Art of Dying (officially Ars Moriendi) represents a brave and risky move for the make-it or break-it breakout album of an up-and-coming band. The Collection's courageous collection of orchestral pop hymns chart and curate the grieving heart of a gifted songwriter and the community of bandmates and fans that surround him.
At a time when the flame of the alternative folk explosion still burns bright despite much backlash, this North Carolina ensemble shows up as the son of Mumford and Sons, married to Edward Sharpe's second cousin, with too many members to pack the tiny stages of clubs and bars, with a sound fit for mountaintop vistas, and songs as mystic visions that pierce the veil between life and death.
Despite the heavy earnestness of the entire package, it's exactly the grief-support-group that my ears need, and I imagine a rendering of fragile faith and hope against hope that our world craves. The Collection manage to sing about Jesus and Thomas and the prodigal son without getting pushy, dancing on the fringe of explicit CCM, exploring sacred-meets-secular crossover paths and gritty crossroads that groups like Needtobreathe, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, and Gungor have already traveled.
Death remains that earthly finality to render our denial mute — and our religious musings about whether it represents cosmic reunion, bodily resurrection, or eternal rest are powerless when we admit that the mysterious premonitions of the "heaven is real" crowd are but passing glimpses and not bulletproof facts. The Christians that remain relevant in our world have invested in the Kingdom here, now, and all around us, and they don't shove tracts that guarantee afterlife fantasies in our faces on the same street corners where tramps and hobos sleep and sometimes starve.
HBO's "The Leftovers" is the feel-good series of the summer, if your summer revolves around root canals and recreational waterboarding.
Indeed, it's pretty grim stuff — but quite engrossing and worth your time, thanks to intense performances by Justin Theroux and Christopher Eccleston, and the way creators Tom Perrotta, who wrote the book on which the series is based, and Damon Lindelof, best known for screwing up the end of "Lost," unflinchingly tackle the nature of grief and the limits of faith.
Can you call it an apocalypse if you can still get a decent bagel afterwards? It's three years after what has been termed the Sudden Departure, when 2 percent of the world's population — Christians, Jews, Muslims, straight, gay, white, black, brown, and Gary Busey — suddenly disappeared.
"Here's how you bring light into the world," says a scruffy-bearded man in shirtsleeves and a knit cap on a Brooklyn rooftop. "First, you get up in the morning and you scream!" His mischievous grin melts into something more ethereally content as he screams. At length.
He's had plenty of practice screaming — he does it for a living.
The man is Yishai Romanoff, lead singer of the hassidic punk band Moshiach Oi and one of the half-dozen artists, activists, and culture-makers profiled in the documentary Punk Jews.
The phrase can seem like an oxymoron: The essence of punk is to challenge inherited convention, yet adherence to rich traditions of convention is the common through-line of all of Judaism's myriad flavors.
If the new Disney Studios movie Maleficent is, as some are saying, a feminist attempt to redeem images of weak and powerless women in fairy tales, then it is a cautionary tale. Feminism has always been its own worst enemy when it strives to create women in the image of men rather than encourage women to abandon rivalry with men and seek their flourishing elsewhere. This is a story about the redemptive power of a mother's love. I wonder how many feminists will embrace that message?
The last time I listened to Nickel Creek was to analyze their adaptation of Robert Burns' poem, "Sweet Afton," in my English literature class in college three years ago. Indeed, the waters of Nickel Creek flow gently, a trait reflected in "Sweet Afton" and many other Nickel Creek staples. And that general lack of bite, paired with an almost robotic mastery of each band members' respective instrument, pushed me away from the band.
So it was strange that, with no expectations and an arbitrarily negative perception of the classic folk band, I really enjoyed seeing Nickel Creek reunite in Washington, D.C. after a six-year hiatus. The show, in sum, was really, really good.

I did NOT use both hands while working on the microwave. I did not release the energy from the capacitor or whatever holds the killer amperage even when unplugged. It would be advisable to do this first. I did not because it seemed complicated, so I was EXTREMELY CAREFUL about not touching anything else inside the unit.

Hon. Robert Stanley "Bob" Richards (31 May 1885 – 24 April 1967), generally referred to as "R. S. Richards" was the 32nd Premier of South Australia.
Born in Moonta, South Australia, the youngest of twelve children to Cornish miner Richard Richards and his wife Mary, Richards was locally educated before leaving school at age 13 to work in the Moonta mines, initially in menial jobs and later as a carpenter.
In his early twenties Richards moved to Burnie, Tasmania to manage a copper mine before returning to Moonta, where he married Ada Dixon on 31 January 1914. Richards also became involved with the labour movement and was elected President of the mining section of the Australian Workers' Union in 1917, proving himself to be a forceful and competent leader. A lay Methodist preacher, Freemason and keen cricketer and Australian rules footballer, Richards was a popular and well known local identity and it came as no surprise when he sought Australian Labor Party preselection.
Elected to the Electoral district of Wallaroo (which covered Moonta) in the South Australian House of Assembly at the 1918 election, Richards quickly gained a reputation in parliament for his leadership and debating abilities and following Labor's victory at the 1924 election, Richards was named Chairman of Committees, firstly in the John Gunn led government and, following Gunn's resignation, in Lionel Hill's cabinet.
Ousted from government at the 1927 election by the Richard Layton Butler led Liberal Federation, South Australia first enjoyed the boom of the 1920s and then suffered the onset of the Great Depression. The 1930 election was highlighted by Butler's warning to voters that the Depression would worsen before it improved and Labor leader Hill's promise of a master plan to solve the problems of the Depression. Labor was swept to power and Richards appointed to the positions of Commissioner of Crown Lands, Minister of Mines and Marine and Minister of Labour and Employment.
Unfortunately, Labor did not have a master strategy to combat the Depression, and was instead forced to institute wage cuts and sweeping retrenchments in the public service as part of implementing the frugal measures of the 1931 Premier's Plan enacted to fight the Depression. The Premier's Plan saw widespread discontent in South Australia, particularly within traditional working-class Labor supporters, resulting in the ALP state executive expelling the Hill cabinet (including Richards) from the Labor Party later in 1931.
Due to the support of the opposition, the Hill Cabinet remained precariously in power until February 1933 when Hill happily resigned as Premier nine weeks before the 1933 election to move to London as Australian Agent-General. This abrupt departure left Richards a reluctant Premier, lacking public or party support.
Richards spent his nine weeks as Premier attempting to talk up the achievements of his cabinet[1] but the effects of the Depression, a fragmented ALP (three Labor parties contested the election; the Parliamentary Labor Party, of which Richards was a member, the official ALP and Lang Labor), and a revitalised opposition in the guise of the Butler led Liberal and Country League, a merging of the Liberal Federation and the Country Party, led to a heavy defeat for Labor.
Richards spent the next year working to reunite the ALP and following his success, served as Deputy Leader of the party from 1934 (under the leadership of Andrew Lacey) and, following another heavy defeat in 1938, where more independents were elected to parliament than ALP members, Richards was returned to the Labor leadership.
Richards remained opposition leader for 11 years, during which Labor increased its vote at three consecutive elections, but could not win government, because of the electoral gerrymander (known as the Playmander). By 1949, Richards had suffered the death of his wife and, with the realisation that under the current electoral system there was little chance of Labor returning to government, retired from politics to serve as the Commonwealth Government's Administrator of Nauru, taking his new bride with him.
He returned from Nauru to Adelaide in 1951; served as Director of Radio 5KA, then under Methodist control; and was appointed to the South Australian government Forestry Board in 1954. Playford, never afraid to make use of opponents' skills for the greater good, also commissioned Richards to investigate issues relating to delinquent children, mining issues and housing.
Afflicted by diabetes, Richards nonetheless lived long enough to see a Labor government returned to South Australia (under the leadership of Premier Frank Walsh) in 1965. He died in Moonta two years later, and received a state funeral.
Richards married Ada Maude Dixon (ca.1883 – 20 July 1948), whose sisters married S. R. Whitford and Oswald Pryor, on 31 January 1914. Their children included two daughters: Joyce and Kathlean.

HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Experts say traumatic events like Tuesday's shooting can cause serious emotional damage to people close to the ordeal. Doctor Farhan Fazal, who is the chief of staff at the Appalachian Regional Healthcare's Psychiatric Center in Hazard, says it is difficult to say just how people will process the loss of a loved one.
He says grief generally follows a familiar pattern, starting with shock and denial, and finally leading to acceptance and resolution, but the doctor says each individual reacts to emotional trauma differently, making it impossible to predict how specific family members will react.
"We're looking at possibilities of retaliation, to complete depression, isolation," said Fazal. "So anything is possible depending on that person and their set of, what kind of support system they have available in that community."
Doctor Fazal says people grieving may need counseling or even medication on a short-term basis to help deal with their emotions. The doctor says there is a danger in not confronting these emotions. He says strong community support can help people recover faster.

He knows he is not a 4.0, the captain knows, the LC knows. Pretty much everybody knows, but rather than not allow him to play in the "spirit of fair competition " he is allowed to stay on the team. Unfortunately this team is well known for throwing sets/matches so they will know how to keep him around for playoffs.
So yeah I don't see many teams in your league moving up a whole level or 2 so they can compete fairly.
Such players and teams may have a room full of trophies, but they are pathetic losers in life.

New York State Awards Touro Law $600,000 Grant to Support Sandy Related Litigation
October 10, 2013
Dean Patricia Salkin is pleased to announce that Touro Law Center has received approximately $600,000 from the State of New York through the Governor's Superstorm Sandy Social Services Block Grant to support disaster relief initiatives at the law school.
"This critical support allows Touro Law to keep our Disaster Relief Clinic open for at least two more years and enables us to better serve the shifting needs of our clients and Long Island residents as claims relief moves from the insurance negotiation phase to litigation. It's a true win-win for our law students and the community at large," said Dean Salkin.
The grant includes funding for litigation attorneys to work in the clinic and for another attorney to work on Sandy-related foreclosure issues. In addition, there is a two-year commitment to support a litigation fund needed to enable Touro Law to represent clients appropriately in all phases of litigation.
Touro Law opened the Touro Law Center – Hurricane Emergency Assistance and Referral Team (TLC-HEART) just days after the storm to provide help, referral and assistance to storm victims. To date, TLC-HEART and the newly launched Disaster Relief Clinic, which opened in January, have received more than 1,500 phone calls and/or emails since the storm from community members in need. Legal issues deal with insurance, landlord-tenant problems, mortgage/foreclosure complications among others.
"Thousands of storm victims still need so much help," said Professor Benjamin Rajotte, Director of the Disaster Relief Clinic. "This money will enable us to continue to help households and bring about positive reforms, while enriching the legal education experience for many law students. We are thrilled and look forward to helping many people reclaim their homes and lives."
Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center's 185,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility is located adjacent to both a state and a federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York. Touro Law's proximity to the courthouses, coupled with programming developed to integrate the courtroom into the classroom, provide a one-of-a kind learning model for law students, combining a rigorous curriculum taught by expert faculty with a practical courtroom experience. Touro Law, which has a student body of approximately 750 and an alumni base of more than 5,000, offers full- and part-time J.D. programs, several dual degree programs and graduate law programs for US and foreign law graduates. Touro Law Center is part of the Touro College system.

Table saw injuries are common replant service referrals. This case demonstrates a patient who severly injured his hand using a table saw. The case study demonstrated the extent of injury and surgical intervention. The following images are very graphic related to the degree of injury.
Thumb amputations are common roping injuries. The thumb can be caught between the saddle horn and the rope. As the calf is caught and the horse stops, the thumb can be "pulled off" on the roping hand if it is between the saddle horn and the rope. The result is typically an amputation of the thumb with tendon pulling away from the hand.

SEATTLE - Seattle University has hired Washington assistant Cameron Dollar as its new basketball coach.
The school announced Thursday that Dollar will replace Joe Callero, who left earlier this month to take over at Cal Poly.
Related Content
Dollar will take over as the Redhawks begin their second season moving back to the Division I level. The school dropped from the top level of college athletics in 1980, but decided in recent years to return.
Last year, playing a mixed schedule against Division I, Division II and other lower division teams, the Redhawks went 21-8, including a 13-8 mark against Division I opponents and wins over Louisiana Tech, UC Irvine and Eastern Washington, among others.
Next season, Seattle will have to play a full Division I schedule as part of its five-year transition, and it will be Dollar's task to lead Seattle through those challenges and make the small Jesuit school attractive to a conference. Athletic director Bill Hogan said last week that he wanted a coach who would help the program grow, but also be a leader in finding the needed conference affiliation.
Seattle will not be eligible to play in the NCAA tournament until the 2012-13 season, but could compete in other postseason tournaments like the NIT.
Dollar has been one of Lorenzo Romar's top assistant at Washington since the pair arrived in 2002. Before that, he was on Romar's staff at St. Louis. Dollar spent one season as head coach at Southern California College in 1998-99 when, at 22, he was the youngest college coach in the nation.
Dollar was a candidate for jobs at Sacramento State and Long Beach State previously, and had informal talks with Portland State last week about its opening that was eventually filled by assistant Tyler Gerving.
Before entering coaching, Dollar was a four-year standout at UCLA and started the 1995 national championship game when UCLA beat Arkansas 89-78. That game was played at the Kingdome.

Brain scans let computer reconstruct movie scenes
The quality could be improved by better techniques to blend human forms, as well as a bigger storehouse of moving images, he said.
Still, the overall results are "one of the most impressive demonstrations of the scientific knowledge of how the visual system works," said Marcel Just, director of the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University.
"I'd give 50 or 100 dollars to see dreams of mine with that (current level of) quality," said Just, who didn't participate in the new study.
Perhaps the technique could be used someday to provide helpful brain stimulation to people who have trouble processing visual information, he said.
Michael Tarr, co-director of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, a joint venture of Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh, called the work a "cool demonstration" of how scientists can use fMRI to study the brain.
"I don't think people should interpret this as a precursor to mind-reading," said Tarr, who didn't participate in the work. "The level of knowledge we'd have to have about the brain before we could even think about seeing whether mind-reading would work is decades, if not centuries, away."

Installation, wich one comes first?
I know this is a stupid question but, do you install the driver or the nv card first?
If I asked, it would be a stupid question.
Put the card in first.
You could install the drivers without the card, but you wouldn't be able to see anything.
I think what he means - if he was to install the drivers with a working compatable video card.. Voodoo 3 for example.
He wouldn't need to hassle with the drivers like I am right now

West Virginia (10-2) vs. Oklahoma
8:00 p.m. ET, Fox
Get Tickets for the Fiesta Bowl
2007 CFN Fiesta Bowl Preview
WhatIfSports.com Fiesta Bowl Prediction & Box Score
2008 Fiesta Bowl History, Each Team's Best Bowl Moments, & More
Forget the BCS Championship game. This battle between West Virginia
and Oklahoma could wind up being the most intriguing of the entire
32-game bowl season.
The Mountaineers and Sooners descend upon Glendale with something to
prove, West Virginia for inexplicably gagging to Pittsburgh on Dec.
1, and Oklahoma for losing its last three BCS bowl games, including
last year's Fiesta Bowl to Boise State. Both programs are awash in
skill position talent, coming within a break or two from finishing
the regular season at the top of the polls. While the winner gets
an ounce of redemption and a top 10 ranking, the loser will carry
the burden of failing to finish strong with it throughout the
offseason. There'll be plenty at stake in the desert, even if the
game isn't deciding a national title.
How does West Virginia bounce back after losing the Backyard Brawl
to a 28-point dog, squandering a chance to play for a national
championship? It won't be easy, considering how badly it choked
under pressure on Dec. 1, and how hard it'll be to move forward
without head coach Rich Rodriguez and offensive coordinator Calvin
Magee, both of whom are now employed by Michigan.
A month ago, Rodriguez was the unquestioned leader of the program,
but today he's being sued by the University, an awkward turn of
events that can't be helping the focus of the West Virginia players
as some, like RB Steve Slaton, will likely look even harder at the
possibility of moving on early to the next level. The Big East
champs had gotten a reprieve from its Sept. 28 loss at South
Florida, yet couldn't close the deal versus rival Pitt, losing
13-9. For the Mountaineers, it's they're first Fiesta Bowl since
Major Harris was in Morgantown in 1989, and they're third
consecutive January bowl game, beating Georgia in the 2006 Sugar
Bowl and Georgia Tech in the 2007 Gator Bowl.
Just like the last two years, as QB Patrick White goes, so goes West
Virginia. The junior sat out most of the Pitt game with a
dislocated right thumb, which no doubt impacted the final score.
White is expected to play on Jan. 2, an absolute necessity if the
Mountaineers stand a chance to deliver an upset. When he's out in
the open field, zig-zagging through defenders, there's no more
dangerous individual at the college level. White leads the 'eers
with 1,185 yards rushing, and is also No. 14 nationally in passing
efficiency, a dual-threat combination that can close the talent gap
at other positions. No. 5 versus Oklahoma's No. 8 run defense is
one of the most intriguing duels of the postseason. Sooner starting
CB Reggie Smith will not play, nor will his backup Lendy Holmes, so
White's improved passing skills should be on display even more than
usual in Arizona.
Oklahoma earned an automatic berth in the Fiesta Bowl with its rout
of then-No. 1 Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game. Although
the Sooners rolled through their schedule, winning by an average of
25 points, plans for ending the season in New Orleans got derailed
by a 45-yard field goal at the end of regulation in Boulder, and a
seven-point loss in Lubbock, in which concussed starting QB Sam
Bradford played only two possessions. Two wins over Mizzou wound up
not being enough to grab a spot in the title game, as LSU was tabbed
as the most deserving of the two-loss teams. A juicy subplot
involves Bob Stoops, one of the game's premier coaches, who's lost
his last three January bowl games, twice getting ambushed on
defense. His reputation is secure, but it sure would help to avoid
a fourth loss in-a-row.
Go ahead and try to find the weak link on this Oklahoma team. Well,
it's defending the deep ball, but that's not West Virginia
football. Once it became obvious that Bradford was a freshman in
academics only, the Sooners were a complete team that could run or
pass the ball, and play at a high level on defense that's become a
hallmark of the program in the Stoops era. Oklahoma does have one
of the worst punt return units in the Big 12, but good luck
exploiting that weakness. The key has been Bradford, the nation's
leader in passing efficiency, who gives the program the offensive
balance it's lacked since Jason White graduated, teaming up
regularly with TE Jermaine Gresham, and WRs Malcolm Kelly and
Juaquin Iglesias. A picture of poise in the pocket, Bradford will
play in a few more of these high-profile bowl games before leaving
It's not the national championship. It's not even the marquee BCS
bowl game (the Sugar and Rose appear to be getting more attention).
It's an important game for the future of the two programs, and both
teams will play like it.
Players to watch:
… Oklahoma will be without explosive freshman RB DeMarco Murray,
but the running game won't skip a beat. Veteran Allen Patrick
excelled down the stretch when his workload increased, running for
202 yards and two scores against Oklahoma State, and 88 yards and a
touchdown versus Missouri. A physical, between-the-tackles runner,
he'll try to keep the good times rolling against a West Virginia
defense that allows just 107 yards a game on the ground. It always
helps to be running behind massive G Duke Robinson and one of
the toughest offensive lines in America. On defense, the Sooners
will benefit from the healthy return of DE Auston English,
who was tearing up the Big 12 before injuring his ankle in the Nov.
3 win over Texas A&M. Although he may not get many opportunities
for sacks, he does have the quickness to prevent the speedy
Mountaineers from getting to the outside. Pencil LB Curtis
Lofton, one of the nation's most instinctive linebackers, in for
about 15 tackles and a couple of snot-knocking hits. The
team-leader with 142 stops, he's never too far from the ball.
Assuming his thumb doesn't cause any complications, White will make
his share of big plays, but against Oklahoma, he's going to need
more help. Additional production from RB Steve Slaton, for
instance, would be nice. A Heisman contender entering the season,
the junior ran for more than 100 yards just twice in the final eight
games. To put a dent in one of the nation's top defenses, West
Virginia is going to need some assistance from Slaton and freshmen
scatbacks, Noel Devine and Jock Sanders. The
Mountaineer defense has been one of the huge shockers of the 2007
season in the Big East, leading the league in total defense and
scoring defense. The unit has to find a way to get an upfield push
on that hulking Sooner line, which means DE Johnny Dingle and
LB Marc Magro must close out the best years of their college
careers with another disruptive game. Dingle has been a 12-game
beast, spending a big portion of the year in opposing backfields.
Magro is a high-motor guy needed to keep Patrick and RB Chris
Brown from busting into the secondary.
Oklahoma will win if... White is the only Mountaineer that
does serious damage. Against opponents, such as Connecticut and
Cincinnati, White's capable of carrying West Virginia on his back,
but that's not going to happen versus this Oklahoma team. If the
Sooners are able to contain Slaton, Devine, and WR Darius Reynaud,
White alone won't be able to solve a defense that's No. 1 or No. 2
in the Big 12 in every major statistical category, and landed eight
players on the all-conference team.
West Virginia will win if... it starts fast, a la the
Sugar Bowl two years ago. After hearing for weeks about their
season-ending collapse to Pittsburgh, the Mountaineers can
ill-afford to get out of the blocks slowly, especially against this
deep and determined Oklahoma team. They've got to shock the Sooners
in the first quarter with a bolt of lightning down the sidelines
from one of the speedsters. Although the West Virginia players will
say all the right things leading up to the game, they'll need an
early explosion to shake the month-long malaise.
What will happen: The West Virginia defense has been
fantastic all year, but this is the game that the curtain gets
pulled back on Jeff Casteel's kids. The Oklahoma offense, purring
since Bradford's return from a concussion, has too many weapons for
a collection of kids that are predominantly overachievers. White
will do something amazing, but the Sooners have already proven they
can keep a diverse offense from erupting, twice holding Mizzou below
its season scoring average. Oklahoma will out class West Virginia,
giving its fans something to beef about if two-loss LSU narrowly
gets by Ohio State in the Superdome.

New Mexico pitchers Katie Gregg and Jen Mendenhall each pitched complete games in Tuesday's doubleheader against New Mexico State. The Lobo hurlers showed good stuff in the circle as both combined to hold NMSU to a total of just three runs on seven hits.
In the first game, Gregg earned her first win of the season as the Lobos won 3-1. The Aggies couldn't find a good look at Gregg's pitches as they grounded out 16 times during the game. New Mexico State's only run came in the third inning when Rishelle Gastelum doubled to left field with a runner on base.
Mendenhall's record moved to 1-6 after the Lobos loss the second game to the Aggies, 2-1. The rookie pitcher, who has started in seven of 12 games played so far, pitched a good game despite the loss. NMSU's two runs only came in the second inning when Heather Minniti capitalized on a miss pitch by Mendenhall and homered it to left field with a runner on base.
Mendenhall, who had surgery on her throwing arm during the fall season, has stepped up to the task of being a work horse for New Mexico this spring. She has pitched 34 innings and has completed three games in her 10 appearances in the circle.
Senior second baseman Kristina Schmallen has been proving in every weekend tournament so far that she is New Mexico's leading hitter. In last weekend's tournament in Las Vegas, Schmallen added two more home runs to her stats. She now leads the team with five home runs through 12 games and also leads with an amazing count of 14 RBIs in just 12 games.
With five home runs already this season, Schmallen just needs two more to break into the top 10 for most home runs in a single season at New Mexico. Former Lobo Danielle Cassra currently holds the record with 13 in 1999.
Schmallen has been starting second base in every game played this season. She is currently recovering from shoulder surgery she had done to her throwing arm because of an injured labrum. The aftermath of the surgery has been painful for Schmallen when she throws, but her shoulder seems to be holding up when she's at the plate.
Junior catcher Liz Young and freshman first baseman Samantha Hughes have evolved into some reliable hitters for New Mexico lately. Young has been a playmaker in several of her at bats in the last seven games, hitting singles and doubles to spark New Mexico's offense. She also grabbed her first home run of the season in last weekend's tournament in Las Vegas.
Although just a freshman, Hughes follows Schmallen as one of the Lobos' top hitters. An Albuquerque, N.M. and La Cueva High School product, Hughes has been starting at first base in every game this year. She currently has four RBIs, one home run and two doubles.
Sophomore Lindsey Elcess can't be counted out of the hitting statistics as she had a 2-RBI double to push New Mexico to a 3-1 win over New Mexico State on Tuesday. As the designated hitter, Elcess is second on the team with seven RBIs and has two home runs.
UTEP will provide a tournament link on its web site at www.utepathletics.com. Box scores and post-game notes from every game played at the tournament this weekend will be posted on a tournament link that can be found on the UTEP softball page.

Following the Velachery encounter, house owners are reluctant to let single men in
It was a harrowing weekend for Senthil Kumar searching for a house in and around Velachery. After residing in an independent house in Dhandeeswaram for over a year, the owner has asked him and his three roommates to vacate the place before the end of April. "We were told that the owner wants to rent it to a family now," says Senthil, who works with a software firm in Guindy. The search for another rental accommodation even 10 km away did not fetch them any luck. To add to the disappointment was to answer questions from brokers. "I got the present accommodation through a broker, but now even they are reluctant to find bachelors a place. If one of the roomies happens to be from north India, it gets even more difficult," he adds.
This is not an isolated case in the city that has always had restrictions about renting out homes to bachelors and single women, but such examples seem to be increasing after the police encounter in Velachery. The city police's enumeration drive of tenants and their details is making some owners and residents' welfare associations follow a more cautious approach.
The Federation of Velachery Welfare Association (East) has asked its members to not let out houses to "unknown bachelors", especially to students and those hailing from north India. It has 20 residents' welfare associations as members. "We had a meeting on the last Sunday of February where each of the association members was asked to start pressurising owners in the locality to discourage bachelors," says S. Kumara Raja, secretary of the Federation. After three months, it also plans to review the decision taken.
According to Raja, the police too have increasingly started keeping a tab. He says it has also asked its members to insist on an agreement while admitting a new tenant. "Much of the concern about safety in certain localities is because some owners hardly interact with the tenant and leave it to the broker," he says.
In most apartment associations, the bye-laws talk about not letting out home to bachelors but they are not stringently followed. Letting out a place is an owner's discretion and in an apartment complex of over 100 flats, imposing such restriction is not possible.
"We have flats in our complex let out to single women, bachelors and corporate sector. As long as the owner knows the background details of his tenant and trusts him, there should not be such restrictions imposed," feels Sree Vidya Anand, owner of an apartment complex in Thoraipakkam.
With the city expanding, residents feel finding a tenant is a challenge and the larger concern for the landlord is to find a tenant who shells out higher rent, even if it comes from a group of bachelors.
While the issue of who to let out might have risen out of a stray incident, tenants have little to come their aid. As S. Senthil Kumar, secretary of Construction Industry Development Council, says, "We have Rent Control Act and Tenant Protection Act but no guidelines that protect the interest of the tenant. They are totally at the mercy of the landlords."

Triple Crown hero who will live long in memory; TONY MORRIS'S GIANTS OF THE TURF.
There was obviously some point to mathematics, because if I'd had a five bob each-way double on winners at 100-8 and 100-7, I would want to be able to calculate my profit. But why on earth would I choose to fill my head with useless guff like logarithms and trigonometry, when there were much more interesting things to memorise, such as the names of all the Derby winners since 1780 and all the facts that I could glean about those ultimate achievers on the turf, the winners of the Triple Crown.
I had my priorities right, because professionally the only use I ever found for maths was to enable me to compile a betting forecast. My extracurricular studies on the history of racing proved much more rewarding.
The Triple Crown was a natural subject to engage the mind of a keen young student, because by common consent over several generations it had represented the pinnacle of performance in the breed. It took an exceptional colt to dominate his contemporaries at three different distances over three widely dissimilar courses, so the few who accomplished the feat formed an elite group commanding special respect.
By the time I became fascinated with the Triple Crown there had been no winner since Bahram, 20 years earlier in 1935. Sure, it was elusive, but nobody doubted that it was attainable. When entries were made at the yearling stage many colts were nominated for all three races, and there was always the chance that a superstar might emerge.
The feat was surely going to be achieved in 1957 if only Noel Murless had been able to keep Crepello sound. The Guineas was a bonus for one with such a stamina-laden pedigree, and the Derby proved beyond doubt that he was the best of his generation at middle distances. It was a crying shame that he could not make it to Doncaster.
Ten years later and dj vu. Royal Palace, another from Warren Place, followed up his Guineas triumph with a ready victory at Epsom, and the St Leger appeared to be at his mercy. He didn't get over a setback in time to compete. As in Crepello's year, the Derby runner-up took the Doncaster spoils.
In 1968 Sir Ivor scintillated in his Guineas and Derby victories, but his American pedigree could not guarantee him stamina for the Leger, so that was never on his agenda. The wait for a successor to Bahram was extended to 35 years after Right Tack and Blakeney had shared the honours in the first two colts' Classics of the following year.
The colt who would end the long hiatus made his debut at the Curragh in July 1969. Starting at 4-11, Nijinsky toyed with runner-up Everyday, his half-length margin telling nothing about the degree of his superiority. Charles Engelhard's colt then won the Railway Stakes, storming home by five lengths from Decies, before meeting up once more with Everyday, who had trotted up by eight lengths at Naas in the meantime. In the Anglesey Stakes Nijinsky was required to give 7lb to his old rival, and he accomplished the feat with ease, finishing on top by three lengths.
The colt's first real test came in the Beresford Stakes, not that many believed he would be beaten. At 2-7 he seemed short enough, given that Decies had shown marked improvement when making all in the National Stakes, upsetting a strongly fancied pair in Great Heron and Prince Tenderfoot, winners of the Tyros Stakes and Royal Ascot's Coventry Stakes.
Decies did give Nijinsky a run for his money, leading until the last furlong and ensuring that Liam Ward would have to get down to business, but all was well in the end, the favourite getting home with three-quarters of a length to spare. All those races were in Ireland, and I knew nothing about Nijinsky aside from what I had read in the papers. By all accounts he was considered top-class, so I couldn't wait to see him when he came for the Dewhurst.
I shall never forget my first sighting of Nijinsky in the paddock at Newmarket. Talk about filling the eye! I had never seen a more imposing two-year-old, and swiftly decided that if he was as good as he looked, he was a potential world-beater. Considering that he was by Northern Dancer, famously a little'un, just where he had acquired that awesome physique was a mystery, but wow, he was some specimen.
I hardly noticed the others in the parade ring, but they surely needed no attention anyway. Nijinsky was going to blow them away. And that is just what he did, without Lester - riding him for the first time - ever having to move a muscle. Sheer, unadulterated class.
That was it for me. The 2,000 Guineas was as good as over already and through the winter I looked forward to it as an exhibition rather than a contest. And that was just what I saw. Having proved his wellbeing with a smooth victory in the Gladness Stakes, the Vincent O'Brien-trained Nijinsky returned to Newmarket to face his stiffest competition yet, started at 4-7, and won as he liked.
There seemed to be two reasons why Nijinsky might not win the Derby. One was the distance, which represented unknown territory and could pose a problem; Northern Dancer had been outstayed in the Belmont Stakes on the only occasion that he had tried 1m4f. The other threat was the French-trained Gyr, a Sea-Bird colt held in the highest regard at Chantilly - so highly that his trainer Etienne Pollet had postponed his retirement for a year to guide him through his three-year-old campaign.
Gyr had been the victim of a poor ride in his only defeat to date, and that was last season. This term he had been brilliant in the Prix Daru and had proved his capacity for the full Derby distance with victory in the Prix Hocquart.
FOR the first and only time in his life Nijinsky started at odds against in the Derby. But neither of the doubts was realised. Gyr, a huge, rangy, ungainly individual, coped admirably with the course, and quickened clear of his field two furlongs from home; his performance would have been good enough to have won plenty of Derbys. Just not this one. Once Nijinsky drew alongside, Gyr was powerless to engage another gear, the favourite gliding by to win by two lengths.
Now proven at the distance, Nijinsky was set for a mere lap of honour at the Curragh, and that was what happened. He sweated up to raise some initial concerns, and was only eighth turning for home, but his trademark acceleration was produced on demand and a second Derby secured by three lengths.
Gyr's impressive victory over older rivals in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud early in July allowed the belief that Nijinsky would treat his seniors similarly in the King George later that month, and he duly did so with astonishing aplomb. Cantering past Karabas a furlong from home, while Blakeney was being ridden furiously in a vain attempt to challenge, the colt we were now beginning to think of as the horse of the century was invulnerable, perhaps unbeatable.
Nijinsky was now entitled to a break before a warm-up race for his main objective, the Arc de Triomphe, but while we waited for news of what that race would be he contracted a severe case of ringworm. When the announcement of a clean bill of health finally came, along with a definite intention to go for the St Leger, my heart skipped a beat. The Triple Crown at last!
Of course, he still had to win it, but who could doubt that he would? On the day he was 2-7, all the stamina doubts forgotten, and though only seventh of the nine coming into the straight, he picked off his rivals one by one, cruised past Politico into the lead a furlong from home and it was plain sailing thereafter.
The excitement of witnessing an exceptional performance was multiplied many times over. Here was something that had not been achieved for 35 years, and I had been privileged to be on hand for each element of the treble. Who was to say that it would ever happen again in my lifetime? Could Nijinsky be the best racehorse that anyone had ever seen? Of course, a month or so later we were thinking that perhaps Nijinsky should have stopped where Bahram stopped, after completing his Triple Crown. Sassafras thwarted him in a desperate finish for the Arc, and the anticipated recompense did not materialise in the Champion Stakes, when he was decidedly out of sorts, only second to an obvious inferior in Lorenzaccio.
No, Nijinsky was not the best horse ever. But he gave me some fabulous 'I was there' moments that will never be erased from my memory.
