Artist: Goog
Concept: Craytin
The Craytin is a marine creature that roams the coastal waters, reefs, and shallows; the common denominator of these habitats being large populations of minnows and juvenile fish. The Craytin preys upon these small fish in much the same manner as the jellyfish - ensnaring them in its poisonous thread-like tentacles (11). The venom that the Craytin utilizes is a unique and potent and blend of neurotoxins and hemotoxins that can kill a small fish within seconds of injection. This venom is produced in the sacs that lie to either side of the 'head' of the Craytin, and is pumped to the tentacles via a large vein running the length of the Craytin's sail (10). The Craytin produces such large quantities of this highly potent venom that it is estimated that the life-time output of a single Craytin would be enough to eliminate the entire population of Madagascar.
The Craytin has developed a great degree of locomotion. It uses both its swimmerets (8) and its pectoral fins (6) combined with the flexing and contraction of its body to swim. The gills located on the 'head' of the Craytin (4) indicate that it must be in relatively constant movement to filter oxygen from the water. This is constitutes a large expenditure of energy, especially when compared to other venom-ed and tentacled marine creatures such as the jellyfish. As a result, the Craytin has also developed an extremely sophisticated method of predation, which is highly successful.
The Craytin's primary sensory organ is the horn-like structure protruding from its head (1). The filaments extending from this horn can detect the slightest changes in pressure, temperature, and direction of the water. When the Craytin detects prey within its vicinity, it will release large amounts of its neurotoxin out of the pores in its head (3) into the water, with the directionality of the current pushing this small cloud of neurotoxin towards the prey. All it takes is the ingestion of just a few molecules of this neurotoxin to slow the movement of a small fish. This allows the Craytin to swim around the fish, ensnaring it in the Craytin's tentacles. The Craytin uses its long sensory antennae (2) to aid in this maneuver.
Upone entanglement, the Craytin will then use its posterior and anterior maxillipeds (9,5) (appendages modified to assist in feeding) to transfer the food from the tentacles to the mouth, which is located on the underside of the Craytin (7).

Artist: Junior-artist
Concept: Desert-Sparewonder
"Desert Sparewonder" is a creature of Australian deserts. Desert Sparewonders are fascinating creatures because of their intelect and emotions. They can use their legs to grab on things and it helps to eat while carrying a huge tank of water on their backs and not letting it to slip off and end in hurting itself. Sparewonders have a huge skin extentions on theyr back hanging on all over their body and theyr tip of the tail. These skin extentions protect creature's body from dangerous sun radiation and they also help against mosquitoes. These creatures are like bicycles - they need to keep theyr balance all the time and that is why they have tails and huge dewlaps. Those dewlaps are also alternative water reserves for theyr own one's in case they lack of water. Sharing water is also a symbol of bond for Sparewonders but they do argue with each other sometimes and that is why they have huge bumps on they heads. Those bumps are also the only one weapon these creatures have for protection. They can predict any sand storm, that is going to happen, with theyr ears and sensible skin. Desert Sparewonders are highly emotional and smart creatures, capable of surviving anything that is in theyr way, even one of the biggest deserts in the world without any oasis or much of food.

Masked Man-Eater
The Masked Man-Eater is a rather small creature with an anatomy similar to that of a primate. They dwell deep in forests and marshlands, relying on a thick fog to camouflage them from other beasts. The Masked Man-Eater is highly prized for its lustrous golden fur and hide, though many who have sought to bring this creature back as a prize have instead met its paralyzing gaze, and finally, its fangs...

Artist: Rob Powell
Concept: The Defacer
The top predator in the deserts of planet Anubi. They are pack hunters and rarely travel in groups with less than three individuals, their hunting methods are very similar to that of the lion. Unlike the lion they are armed with a squid-like mouth, once they got a hold of their prey their is no escape. Small knife like teeth will slice into the flesh creating a bloody mess. They will often target the head of their prey ripping into the face, and suffocating it. Seeing the faceless carcasses as you wonder through the desert gives you a chilling reminder of the dangers that lurk on the sandy plains.

Concept: High Plains Rock Dragon
The High Plains Rock Dragon is an enormous creature; a member of a race of dragon-like beings. These creatures awake for one season every decade to seek out a mate. While she sleeps the local people endow her with enormous precious stones and ornate carvings, hoping that when she awakes she will find favor with them and bring them prosperity.

Artist: Si_Swe
Concept: Giant Fithe
Amongst the glowing patches of Hallofrezz Fungi one can easily find the lazy Giant Fithe. Moving very little, the Fithe will use its extensive arms to grasp clumps of fungus, devouring them to the point where its normally translucent sensory fibers will take on the glow of its food source. The Fithe will sit for days gorging itself. The poisonous nature of the fungus makes the Fithe an unfit meal for many of the larger predators of the ashlands, and its newly attained glow attracts Ittselflies to eat during the long nights. Once Hallofrezz Fungi are no longer in its extensive reach, the Fithe will slowly move to a fresh patch of Fungi.

Great round guys!!!!
Hard to pick a winner but i think personally in my humble opinion, Rob's Defacer is just epic. Some of you guys have some freak en tight rendering going like Si n lancer.
Hope to see you all again next round!!!
Rob: watched blade 2 lately?? The vampire eaters in that film have a similar mouth for eating vampires. Liking the bright color and ground plane rendering, also the perspective is great, reminds me of a show room car!!! Great stuff!!

Not gonna lie was hoping there'd be more entries. 8 seems like a small number for a freestyle round, especially a two week round. Though I guess more people were partying more than painting I guess.
My fav's this round were Goog, Lancer_idenoure, and Eclectix.
and some quick crits...
Goog: really cool creature man, and a very nice painterly style as well, liked how you incorporated the numerical diagram to help illustrate the creature's anatomy. Nice work man!
AdrianNagorski: An improvement from previous cow's, one thing that's bugging me is how the cloud overlaps the border, I think it throws the composition off a bit. Also I do think that the design could've been a bit more adventurous for this round. Not much else to add other than keep doing what your doing, mate!
Junior Artist: Interesting design, almast has a Dr. Suess look to it. I see a little bit too much use of the soft brushes here, the surfaces appear a little too smooth and unnatural looking. As lancer stated in the wips thread, the cast shadow needs some attention. Keep in mind where the light source is and where the light will show on the ground or not.
lancer_idenoure: Great concept man! Awesome rendering! A little more contrast between the creature and the background, everything is green apart from the tongue and flower, so the silhouette of the creature needs to show a bit more clearly! Either way it is an awesome entry, you got my vote! Great work!
Reddcarp: The biggest issue here is that there is not enought of the creature's anatomy showing. There are some rendering issues, as it seems a bit choppy in some places, there is a good atmospheric presence in this piece however. Some more variation in the values to improve the composition a bit as well.
Eclectix: Very cool work man! Very cool designs and intricate details on the creature's skin. I personally prefer if the background is painted rather than painted over, but seeing as this is focusing on the concept more than the illustration. I like the added background elements that were painted in, however, such as the twin peaked mountain in the back, really gives the piece more of that fantasy landscape that adds to the world the creature lives in. Overall looking at the image as is, it is very appealing. Good work mate!
Si_Swe: Nice job, some really good rendering on the creature, and a really neat design. I like the little shrimp-like forelimbs at the front of the creature. The colour palette seems a little bit familiar from your work however as it makes me think of your Maturation entry. Although the creature is different enough from it.

good work, my favourites are Goog, lancer and Si Swe.
some thoughts on the creatures:
Adrian Nagorski nice one, I liked the detail of the creature taking away an human in the distance. Like it´s been said before, I´ve would liked to see you taking a bit more risk on your design but i think you are improving on the execution, so congratulations and keep showing us more COWs!
Goog very nice creature, the designs looks creative and effective. As crit, i´d say it needs a bit more time on rendering (some parts look a bit roughly done) and maybe another color scheme to show an underwater creature placement.
Junior Artist, cool and weird creature, it took me e bit to discern the different parts. The description fits it perfectly, I liked the emotional part. Maybe the hump seems too much like an human seat. Original creature anyways!
lancer idenoure, one of the coolest creatures here, great rendering and good design. I think the middle little arms are maybe unnecessary, though. A complementary blue light on the dark side could have done wonders on it. Great work anyways!
Reddcarp the creature description is interesting, but I can´t see enough of its body... the visible parts and the atmosphere is cool though. Perhaps a more elaborate mask would have worked better.
Rob Powell cool design, the creature looks terrific and it has a strong predatory look. The head part is specially nice, love it. Maybe some parts like the scales in the arms and legs look a bit artificial, they need to complement better with the body.
Eclectix good mix between ornated/ceremonial statue and creature, the "artifact" look is very well achieved. The background execution is excellent, and makes good relationship with the creature. perhaps some more limbs/wings on the dragon?
Si Swe great one, seems you paid attention to every little part of the creature, resulting on a great and elaborate design. Really loved the "head", the little filaments and limbs in the bottom and the leg articulation. That, joined to the almost inmobile nature of the creature (we usually go with fast or very active ones) make me vote for you. As a crit, I think the shadow needs to improve where the feet meets the ground, and maybe the funghi need a bit more work (that is secondary though)

Some crits, so I can feel like a big man...
Goog I really, really like this design. I want to see the movie this creature is in. Outlandish yet realistic. The rendering is a bit unifinished in the body and the little shrimp-like appendages on the underside, and there are some slight perspective issues to my eye behind the head and on the two 'antennae'.
A note on underwater concepts: if this is concept art it might be a mistake to 'light' a creature to look like it is 'filmed' underwater. In my world concept art gets handed to sculptors and painters who aim to reproduce the concept. Goog's piece looks fine to me...just a thought.
AdrianNagorski Your piece has a great attitude, but the rendering is pretty rough. Also, an insectoid design like this really benefits from more distinguished segmentation. The values are pretty flat, and we're losing the beast a bit against the clouds.
Junior artist What a surreal piece! I really like the upturned claws...very unsettling. The rendering is way too soft, and the beast is almost uniformly smooth.
lancer idenoure Top-notch, pro-level rendering. I really like the head design. I'm not a fan of the limb design. I'd like the four upward-facing limbs if you didn't have the creature standing on a branch. The front limbs look very human, and the middle-lower limbs look completely extraneous. It would be nice to see more flowers in the environment, especially since the flower has colors very similar to the tongue. Beautiful surfaces.
Reddcarp Really nice values and emotional impact. In no way does it look like a maneater. The rendering seems a bit hasty. Not enough of the creature is shown.
Rob Powell Nice rendering and attention to detail. It looks like you're trying to fit human anatomy onto a quadraped. The detailing is a bit too uniform. I like the mouth, but the head is a bit stylized, with rope-like forms replacing bone and muscle. The hind legs are way short. That is a LOT of ribs, and they don't agree with the pespective of the pecs.
Eclectix I just gave a fairly thorough crit for you in the CC/Wip section.
Si_Swe Imaginative design. I like the head. the hindquarters don't look big enough to hold its weight. The abdomen looks really low, like it should be dragging on the ground, but your shading doesn't agree with that.Thre is a perspective issue with the glowing bits on the back. The values are really flat, especially in the lack of highlights.

Ive done any crits for ages, so heres a few to balance the karma
Goog Very cool design man, and i like the anatomy sheet you did below, your concept is very well thought out. As an initial read its tough to tell what kind of environment this creature would live in, its hard to tell if its a sea creature or air born so some further elements in your concept which could tell abit more about the creature would be cool. Also, the rendering still feels abit loose so some more polished areas would help create areas of focal attention and push the design further.
AdrianNagorski Cool to see your pushing the c.o.w's again, and its clear to see your improving too, so well done for that. Keep working on those values and do lots of studies focusing on colour and values, and all that good stuff
Junior artist Interesting design and anatomy and your rendering style is prity cool too. Without reading the description its prity tough to tell what this creature does though. Its unclear in your design this creature is the one from your description. Theres also alot of white in this piece which is making it a little tough to read and clashing with your values. Some mixtures of texture in your creatures skin would be cool too. Hope to see your designs again dude in future c.o.ws, your piece has alot of potential, hope this crit helps.
lancer idenoure Very cool concept dude, i love that you did an illustration and in doing so showed your creature off to greater effect. The amount of detail here is prity amazing too, you must have the patience of a saint ;p My crit here is that you should push its face rendering further, perhaps some small wrinkles, pores or hairs or something, it would make the whole design pop and give your creature a sense of depth. Like you have done with the branch, which in the foeground is detailed but gets less so the further back it goes. Also abit more deatil on the eyes, because without them your creature looks abit blank.
Reddcarp Nice idea dude, this creature is prity creepy but cool regardless. Some more indication of anatomy would be nice, remember that this is a creature design, so perhaps a seperate sheet showing this creatures full body to beter show how it works would be cool. Also, you could push your illustration by adding more story telling elements, like those you put in the description. Like a figure in the foreground trying to collect its hair, while hidden fangs are about to strike. Also adding a figure would help give the viewer an indication of this creatures size.
Rob Powell Nice one again man, i like how your creature fits in perspective space and the crazy details which ive come to expect from you. I'd say the weakest part of the design are the front legs, where the sclaes look abit out of place and the anatomy seems almost human, especially with the pectoral muscles and collar bone. Solid entry anyways dude, i bet your portfolio is beginning to look prity awesome now ;D Keep it up dude.
Eclectrix Nice design man, love the grand and majestic vibes this beast gives off. Perhaps abit more tidying up with the rendering around the head and front feet could help push your design further, seeing as these are the focal points. Also, i think abit of atmospheric perspective would help sell the scale element of the creature more. Great concept regardless, got my vote
Si Swe Hey man, great to see more of your creatures. Its clear you've put alot of thought into your creatures idea, and its payed off in your design, which is very unique and creative. One possible thought would be to brighten or saturate the fungus in the foreground, which would make a focal line between fungus and creature, and further sell that these two elements are related. Alos, i know during the week you mentioned you wanted your creatures colours fairly muted, but abit of variation, perhaps some deeper reds in its legs and head would help sell the design further. Hope these help, and good job!

As with Rob, I was also looking forward to more entries since this was a freestyle round with 2 weeks. Nonetheless there are some great entries. My favorites this round are Goog, lancer_idenoure, Rob Powell, and Si_Swe.
I very much appreciate all the valuable crits everyone is giving this round; here are my own:
Goog: Very believable, it almost looks like a real creature that could be found floating in the ocean. In the end the only reason it didn't get my vote is that it wasn't particularly dramatic, but it is a nice entry nonetheless.
Adrian Nagorski: A very creative concept. I'd suggest trying to work on shading principles; use darker values instead of darker colors to create shadows. Do keep at it!
Junior-artist: As others have already said, your soft brushes make the picture look fuzzy instead of sharp. Don't be afraid of the hard brushes. I like the veil-like tail, very original.
lancer_idenoure: This one got my vote. Very nice rendering, I like the markings on the creature and even the moss is excellent. I like that it feeds on flower nectar. It's not particularly exciting, but for an eyeless arboreal nectar feeder, perhaps being less exciting is a good thing.
Reddcarp: Like the others, I also like the values on this piece. The strokes seem a bit rough, and I wasn't convinced by the creature's face; if that is an actual mask, then I would like to see the creature's real face somehow. If it is meant to be an actual face that only looks like a mask, then it would be nice to see that the mouth is moveable, perhaps with mandibular creases/folds and some teeth? Some indication of eyes underneath might help too. I do hope you keep at it.
Rob Powell: Cool creature, I like the spade-shaped things on its face. This isn't your best rendered IMO; it looks like it is lit very softly, as on an overcast day. Some harder highlights would have made much more impact I think. The creature is a keeper for sure.
Si_Swe: A very creative creature concept, I think this one has a lot going for it. It suffers from a similar problem to Rob's though in that the lighting looks washed-out. Some harder highlights could have helped, or maybe a darker background and harder glow on the luminous parts to show that lighting is dim?

Have you ever wanted to own a little piece of paradise?
You still can.
A 15-acre private island on the edge of the Bahamas has been on the auction block for more than a month now and hasn't been snatched up yet. Bids were supposed to start at $12 million, but so far, there have been no takers.
The auctioneer, Fisher Auction Co., is still actively marketing the property and there is no talk yet of a price reduction.
"It's still active and we have reason and hope to think we will bring it to fruition," said Louis "Benny" Fisher, chairman of Fisher Auction Co.
The property was auctioned off June 28, but none of the bids met the sellers' criteria that buyers take the island as is. Fisher said some of the bidders wanted a chance to visit the island before buying, which they had yet to do.
Chris Krolow, CEO of Private Islands Inc., a Toronto company that markets such properties, predicted in early June that the island might not sell at the action, saying that the advertising period was too short.
Fisher now says that while he thought he had provided enough lead time there is "some feeling that we needed another month of exposure."
Since the auction, he said there has been new interest from buyers in Switzerland, California and elsewhere. Some prospects also needed time to make their assets liquid and only wanted to make such a change if they were buying.
"Frankly, I don't care about delays as long as we get it done," Fischer said.
The island has white sand beaches, two homes -- one for you and one for your staff -- a dock, tons of food and living supplies and your own private runway.
"It's not for everybody, but it's a real good place to get away, completely relax," said businessman Jack N. Halcomb who has owned the island for roughly 20 years.
So who plans to buy the island? It could be anyone from a developer looking to build a boutique resort to simply a wealthy individual.
"We have exposed this particular property around the world, primarily targeting celebs and sports figures and super-wealthy business personalities," Fischer said. "It's obviously for the individual who has everything and then some."
Inquires initially came from as far away as Ireland, Spain and China. Even royalty from Dubai has expressed interest, although they make up a small group of shoppers.
"We haven't been deluged because, let's face it, not everyone is of the economic status that they can afford a place like this," said Fisher.
The island has been marketed to celebrities including lovebirds Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Hollywood legends Sean Connery and Steven Spielberg.
But Fisher notes that just because he has reached out to these stars, it doesn't mean they are interested or that he'll know if they make a bid.
"Most of these people deal through their agents or their accountants," he said. "Many times, I don't know the name of the buyer until closing."
Halcomb bought the island in 1986 for $650,000 and said he has made $25 million worth of improvements to the property since he first moved in and ran his business sometimes from the Bahamas.

If I am Antonio Henton, I'm thinking I'm starting about October. At Ohio State.
If I am Antonio Henton, I'm thinking I'm starting about October. At Ohio State.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I think if Pryor commits to OSU then Henton is smart enough to be gone. He can see Pryor is similar to him yet more
highly hyped so he can see the writing on the wall. I also think the way Henton has been portrayed also has contributed
to his desire to leave. I mean, the guy was strung out by fans and the media for his arrest. No one bothered to listen
to his side of the story and I bet most OSU fans just think he's an ungrateful punk. I don't really know much about how
he's perceived in the locker room but the bad media attention has to eat a man up after awhile. I wouldn't be surprised
if he wanted to get back home where people loved him during his HS years. I hope he's strong enough to stick around and
earn people over much the way Troy Smith was able to bounce back though.
If Henton does decide to stay (which I hope), hopefully Tress and Co. can find a way to use him effectively. Why not
design a package of plays for him that can be used at any point in the game? Why not utilize his running ability by
setting up an option formation and a spread formation? I think if Tressel could better utilize Boeckman and Henton or
Pryor it could really throw some new potential into the offense. Tress's problem seems to be he gets caught up in using
one QB or the other for an entire series and won't switch them in on a play by play basis (see Smith and Zwick). If the Bucks can get that
uncertainty element into their offense it really makes it much harder for opposing coaches to plan for. How much time
do you think the OSU defense spent planning for Periloux of LSU even though he hardly played in the NC game? Just the
threat of another option can help an offense be more effective because the defense doesn't know who to gameplan for.
I think, in a perfect world, Henton decides to stay at OSU and Pryor also commits to OSU. And the coaching staff at OSU
finds a way to utilize both of them along with Boeckman. I really think Henton could be an explosive player in the slot
and out of the backfield in special formations. I think it would really help the offense get a little more creative if they set up packages
with Pryor at QB to utilize his speed and athleticism. And along the same lines if they could slide Henton into the
slot and possibly come up with some reverses and pass plays for him I think the offense could be downright scary. But
this is OSU who never really figures out how to best utilize some of the athlets (see Ted Ginn & Troy Smith) so I'm not
going to hold my breath. I'd count on Boeckman as the starter for every game next year and the OSU coaching staff
underutilizing Henton and/or Pryor if they are on the team.
Third video down.
ESPN is by far the worst recruiting service out there. They are laughable. I swear they haven't heard of half of the top prospects in the country.
Pryor is a Buckeye. Period.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
Is Michigan in the hunt? To a certain extent, yes. Pryor had connections to Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia. West Virginia was on the list, but was never considered a true front runner. Now all the sudden, Michigan lands Rodriguez and now they're the "clear favorite?" Not hardly.
I think the Rodriguez-Pryor connection is highly overblown.
Terrell Pryor has become VERY good friends with many of the members of the incoming Ohio State recruiting class. Word is (and I have some merit of inside information on this) that he and Michael Brewster have become nearly inseperable. I'm not sure how smart it'd be to be-friend those people just to turn around and go to Michigan.
Before this weekend, Terrell Pryor had been in the state of Michigan exactly zero times. Is that terribly important to this deal? Not really, but you'd think if he were seriously considering going to live in a state wear he had never stepped foot in, he would have his parents along side him. Not the case. Instead the sent a "family friend" in Charlie Batch. According to Michigan boards (and he was caught on camera at the basketball game), he seemed like he wanted to be pretty much anywhere but where he was Saturday night. He was constantly playing with his cell phone, texting alot. Speculation is (and it's just that, speculation) he was texting with Michael Brewster.
Had Michigan not shown up to the party until three-ish weeks ago, I might buy that they were seriously in the race for him. But three weeks of recruiting from a program on the decline is just not going to be enough to undue all the relationships and good-will he's forged in Columbus.
If Terrelle Pryor winds up anywhere but Ohio State, I will utterly floored.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
I find that ESPN information to be completely out in left field. We are talking Adam Dunn on a pop up during a 6pm start time game lost. All I can say is that they are going to end up looking like Tom Lemming did five years ago with Lorenzo Booker. Stunned silence.

The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
If I remember correctly, ESPN had Chris Wells rated somewhere in the 30's to 40's overall, and the fourth best running back in the class of 2006, where almost every other outlet had him as a top five player regardless of position.
ESPN is the LAST place people should go to get recruiting information.

A woman in Ventura County, CA a few years ago sued her doctor for doing a Caesarean Section. The reason given was that it was not entirely necessary to do that surgery, and it complicated her future reproductive and gynecological life. She lost. There was no real permanent damage to her or her baby, as far as the court could determine.

It's hard to sue a doctor. You sometimes have to go out of state to find a lawyer who will take the case, and if you can't afford a laywer, it's not the kind of thing they will do pro bono.

A parade of medical folks came in and did their damndest to convince me that "as long as the baby is healty, that's all that matters."

I understand the reason behind saying women need to sue doctors for overusing interventions but, I think the litigious attitude of so many is part of the reason the docs use more and more interventions. .

I agree with Omegamama!
Use the Nancy Reagan method to get Natural Chldbirth in a Hospital.
Just say, "NO " to the first intervention.
The problem though is often the first intervention is the EFM which is a requirement by all hospitals and their insurance companies. Being confined to your bed is not good for a healthy laboring woman.
Furthermore, actually, the very first intervention for most healthy laboring mothers is the trip to the hospital itself.

Sharp spelling skills help when it comes to Newton-Conover Education Foundation's annual Red Hot Spelling Bee, but they aren't required.
"All you really need is enough money to get your team to the championship round," said NCEF President Debbie Bandy, "and you can contend for a spelling bee championship."
Not only can competitors buy their way into championship contention, they can even rely on a little help from their friends.
"This isn't your normal spelling bee, where you have to stand by yourself in front of a microphone and spell words to a silent audience," Bandy continued. "This is a team event — team members work together to spell each of the competition words. Plus when spelling teams are costume clad, and the audience is laughing and cheering, there's definitely a festive atmosphere. Everyone involved really has a lot of fun while supporting the Newton-Conover City Schools System."
Presented by The Observer News Enterprise and Outlook, NCEF's Red Hot Spelling Bee is one of two annual fund-raisers for the organization that delivers student scholarships and classroom grants for the Newton-Conover City Schools System.
"With the economic struggles that our school system is enduring, we are proud to be providing additional funding for teachers who are initiating innovative approaches in the classroom," Bandy said. "We also provide scholarships for seniors who have shown community involvement as well as 'P.R.I.D.E.' in the Newton-Conover school system. By participating in the spelling bee, you are not only supporting the Newton Conover Education Fund, but having a fun family night of entertainment."
This year's competition is set for March 20 at Newton-Conover High School Gym. Community organizations and businesses can enter four-member teams for $100, and teams comprised entirely of students can join the competition for $25.
Teams that register before March 6 receive a free buy-back.
"Buy-backs are another way that this spelling competition is different from traditional spelling bees," Bandy said. "When a team misses a word they can buy back into the competition for $10, and teams can get that money from anywhere. Every year we have plenty of spellers turn to the audience to find money to help keep their spelling championship dreams alive."
Buy-backs are allowed until the championship round, when remaining teams vie against one another for victory. Winners in years past include the Champions of Education Executive Director Lamar Mitchell and his family, the Newton-Conover City Schools administrative team — "Barry's Angels," The O-N-E's "Teem Tie-Po," and Catawba Valley Medical Center's team.
The event is more than an exciting competition for teams of spellers, it is also a great event for spectators, Bandy said. Admission is free, and the community is encouraged to attend and watch student teams compete against faculty teams, as well as teams from throughout the community.
"I think it is a wonderful opportunity to show the kids they are important, and it also helps create a really festive atmosphere. People love to watch the kids at their best," Newton-Conover City Schools Superintendent Dr. Barry Redmond said, adding he is proud to compete and donate to the annual event. "We are very indebted to Newton-Convoer Education Foundation. They assist our teachers with special projects that might not otherwise be funded, and they offer other possibilities for students. We want to help the people that are helping us. If everybody can jump in and work together, then we all win."
For more information or to enter a team, contact Bandy at 464-4870 or 446-6594. Registration forms are also available at the Newton-Conover Schools system office, The O-N-E in downtown Newton and at supporting businesses throughout the community.
..make everything about MONEY for Pete's sake!
Why not just find the best speller and give him or her a trophy and be done with it!
The edu-socialist have turned a freakin' spelling bee, into a platform to milk taxpayers out of more money by trying to seem like they are on the verge of starvation due to a lack of taxmoney. Funny thing is, I haven't noticed my tax bill going down any, and I sure havent heard of any school administrators on the unemployment job line.
They sure have enough money to build that hugely expensive and unneeded Middle School on the very northern periphery of the NC CS Distrct though?!

Ohio State
(1-0) 8 pm EST ABC Saturday,
September 9th
Why to watch:
It might only be early September, but
this might be for the national
championship. This is the one the whole
college football world has been waiting
for ever since these two staged a
classic in last year's 25-22 Texas
victory that kickstarted the run to the
national championship. After moving up
in the Coaches' Poll to number two,
Texas has put itself in a position to
control its own destiny in the national
title hunt with, realistically, only a
shaky Oklahoma and trips to Nebraska and
Texas Tech standing in the way of
another championship game. Ohio State is
seen as this year's version of the 2005
Longhorns with QB Troy Smith, who was
platooned with Justin Zwick in last
year's UT showdown, being asked to be
another Vince Young. After a dominating
35-12 win over Northern Illinois to
start the season, the Buckeyes are still
the number one team in the country, but
this is the game that needs to cement
the spot. Can Mack Brown win a big game
without Young? Can Ohio State show that
all the defensive losses to the NFL
didn't really matter? This should be
nothing less than a classic.
Why Ohio State might win: Texas
QB Colt McCoy looked terrific against
North Texas completing 12 of 19 passes
for 178 yards and three touchdowns. Ohio
State isn't North Texas. It's one thing
to be able to stand around all day and
wait for the receivers to come open, but
it's another to do it against a
fire-breathing defense like OSU's.
Everyone can say all they want about how
McCoy faces one of the best defenses in
the nation every day in practice, but
it's just not the same. Texas won last
year because of the steady play of Young
when things got tight. If all else is
dead even, the Buckeyes have a whopping
advantage at quarterback. Ohio State
knows Troy Smith can pull games out of
the fire; Texas hopes McCoy can.
Why Texas might win:
The forecast for Austin, Texas for this
Saturday: High 98 with isolated
thunderstorms. Especially early in the
season when everyone's still getting in
game shape, there's a huge difference
between the heat of Columbus and the
hard-to-breathe humidity that should be
a factor on Saturday night. Texas will
be used to it; Ohio State won't be. The
Buckeye defensive back seven will be
really good ... in time. As good as NIU
RB Garrett Wolfe is, it has to be a
concern that the Huskie back was able to
tear off 171 rushing yards. The Texas
offensive line is far better than NIU's,
and Jamaal Charles leads a backfield
that's more than good enough to come up
with a huge night.
Who to watch: Ohio State can
certainly run the ball, but the offense
hums at its best when the deep passing
game is working. Things got a lot easier
for Smith, Ted Ginn and Anthony Gonzalez
as Texas will be without starting CB
Tarell Brown after the senior was
arrested on misdemeanor drug and weapon
charges. It's supposed to be Brown's job
to handle a much-improved Ginn, and now
it might be up to sophomore Ryan Palmer
or junior Brandon Foster to handle the
work. ... Job one for UT defensive
coordinator Gene Chizik will be to stop
No. 7. Ginn was always known for being a
great do-it-all athlete, and now he has
improved his route running and receiver
skills to an All-America level. He
caught four passes fro 123 yards and two
touchdowns against NIU, took two
kickoffs for 25 yards, and two punt
returns for 44.
What will happen: This is about
as dead even as it can get. McCoy is
better than many might think, and he'll
show just enough poise to make the one
or two key throws needed to keep the
offense moving. It'll be a physical,
hard-hitting game with the two offensive
lines controlling the other's defensive
front. Texas will get just enough from
the running game to pull off the win and
move up to number one.

Ole Miss
(1-0) 12:30 pm EST Saturday,
September 9th
Why to watch:
While this won't get much in the way of
national attention, this should be one
of the more interesting games of the day
with the pride of two power conferences
on the line. The knock on Missouri under
head coach Gary Pinkel has been the
program's inability to get through the
non-conference schedule unscathed. With
New Mexico and Ohio ahead, Ole Miss is
the most likely obstacle between the
Tigers and a 4-0 start. Considering the
way Colorado played in its opener, 5-0
is possible before dealing with Texas
Tech. Ole Miss is coming off a good win
over Memphis last Sunday. Beating
Missouri would easily be the biggest
victory in the young Ed Orgeron era and
would serve notice that this really will
be a dangerous team for the rest of the
Why Ole Miss might win: Brent
Schaeffer and BenJarvus Green-Ellis. Ole
Miss went from having one of the
nation's worst offenses to having a 1-2
punch good enough to beat most teams
thanks to the transfer of Schaeffer from
Tennessee and Green-Ellis from Indiana.
The former Hoosier ran for 127 yards and
two touchdowns against Memphis, while
Schaeffer managed the game extremely
well making the key plays when needed
and keeping the Tiger defense on its
heels with is mobility. Missouri still
doesn't know quite how good it is after
barely breaking a sweat against Murray
State, but this Ole Miss team will be as
physical as anyone MU will play all
Why Missouri might win:
The Tigers have a huge advantage up
front. The MU offensive line is among
the best in the Big 12 with four
returning starters from last year
including a few All-Big 12 talents. Ole
Miss has big problems on the defensive
front four with injuries to top ends
Chris Bowers and Paria Jerry forcing the
coaching staff to scramble to find
productive bodies to fill in all along
the line. If the Memphis offensive line
could shove around the Rebels, the
Missouri starting five should have a
field day.
Who to watch: Missouri could be
the big sleeper in the Big 12 title hunt
if QB Chase Daniel keeps improving. He
had his way with the Murray State
secondary throwing for 320 yards and
five touchdowns, and he has to be just
as effective this week if the Rebel
defensive line really is as troubled as
Orgeron is saying it is. Memphis QB
Martin Hankins was able to complete 21
of 27 passes on the Ole Miss secondary;
Daniel has to be licking his chops.
What will happen: These are two
decent teams that should play a
hard-hitting, entertaining game.
Mizzouri will win on the lines, so
Missouri will win on the scoreboard.

Nicholls State
(1-0) 1:30 pm EST Saturday,
September 9th
Why to watch:
Nebraska gets in a light scrimmage
before making the trip to USC for what
could be the game that rockets the
Husker program back into the elite of
the elite status. Until then, Bill
Callahan's boys will try to continue the
offensive balance it showed off last
week against Louisiana Tech on the way
to 584 yards of total offense. Nicholls
State tore through Southern Arkansas for
an easy 35-0 win and will try to make
this remotely interesting for more than
a few drives.
Why Nicholls State might win:
Turnovers. NSU forced five last week and
was able to capitalize on most. Nebraska
is almost certain to be less than 100%
focused knowing it can sleepwalk through
this game and win easily, and with the
game in L.A. coming up. If NSU can come
up with a few early breaks and generate
points off them, it might not be a total
Why Nebraska might win:
The Colonels were able to shut down the
Southern Arkansas offense, but Nebraska
has way too many weapons for this not to
be ugly. If the passing attack doesn't
work, then Marlon Lucky and Cody Glenn
should be able to run without a problem.
The NSU offense isn't equipped to put up
points in bunches.
Who to watch: Everything has to
be in place for Nebraska before dealing
with the Trojan offensive machine. The
defense still has issues in the
secondary and is susceptible to the deep
ball, but the biggest changes will be
made at linebacker after top backup
Phillip Dillard was lost for the year
with a knee injury. Lance Brandenburgh
will be more in the rotation in the
middle after moving over from the
strongside, while Clayton Sievers will
get more work behind Stewart Bradley.
What will happen: Nebraska can
call its shot. Expect the backups to get
plenty of meaningful work in the second

3:30 pm EST ABC Saturday,
September 9th
Why to watch:
Will the real Oklahoma please stand up?
For the second straight year, the
Sooners struggled in a home opener with
a non-BCS team escaping with a
tougher-than-expected 24-17 win over UAB.
The victory exposed deep concerns about
QB Paul Thompson's effectiveness and
raised doubts whether Adrian Peterson
can physically carry the offense on his
back for 12 games. The defense was
surprisingly soft against a post-Darrell
Hackney Blazer team, but don't expect
that to be the norm in 2006. For the
first time since 2001, Washington opened
the year with a win, but the celebration
was short-lived. The Huskies needed an
escape of their own against San Jose
State, and last year's headaches with
pass defense don't look even close to
being solved. An upset in Norman would
give Ty Willingham the signature win
he's desperately seeking in Year 2.
Why Washington might win: The
Husky offense was a pleasant surprise in
the opener piling up 300 yards on the
ground with almost half coming from
Louis Rankin. The Sooner D struggled to
contain mobile Blazer backup QB Sam
Hunt, who's not nearly as dangerous in
the open field as Washington's Isaiah
Why Oklahoma might win: The
Sooner defense has been called out by
coaches and the media this week and
should come out roaring. If they can
stop the Husky ground game and force
Stanback to beat them through the air,
he'll misfire and turn the ball over.
Washington allowed San Jose State's Adam
Tafralis to go 28-of-35 for 323 yards
and three touchdowns, which is exactly
the type of secondary Thompson needs to
face to get back on track.
Who to watch: Considering how the
Huskies made San Jose State WR James
Jones look like James Lofton last
weekend, Oklahoma's Malcolm Kelly is
poised for a career day. The 6-4 future
star had just three grabs for 28 yards
Saturday night, but he'll torch the
leaky U-Dub secondary this week.
What will happen: Oklahoma's return
to glory isn't going to happen
overnight, but to quiet critics, the
Sooners needs a resounding win right
now. They'll get it behind a fired up
defense and, at least for one week, a
more balanced offense.

Colorado State
(1-0) 5 pm EST Saturday, September
Why to watch:
Neither team is exactly doing backflips
over the way the first week of the
season went. Colorado State obliterated
Weber State 30-6, but it did so without
star RB Kyle Bell, who tore up his knee
just before the year began. Colorado
felt a different sort of pain losing a
19-10 shocker to Montana State to start
off the Dan Hawkins era with a
resounding thud. The Buffs have lost
five straight going back to last year
getting outscored 168 to 42 over the
slide. Almost all can be forgiven with a
win over the Rams in what might be
college football's nastiest
under-the-radar rivalry. Colorado has
won the last three after losing three in
a row. The last six games have all been
decided by a touchdown or less
Why Colorado might win: Can
Colorado State run the ball without
Bell? It was able to grind out 149 yards
on Weber State, but Colorado's run
defense should be able to keep the
mediocre Ram backfield from doing much
of anything. That means the game will
probably be in the hands of QB Caleb
Hanie, who has talent, but will throw
picks. The Buffs have to force turnovers
and take advantage of every one because
Why Colorado State might win:
... the Buff offense has miles to go
before it's productive on a consistent
basis. QB James Cox struggled when he
got in late last year, and he was
flat-out awful last week completing a
mere eight of 22 passes for 110 yards.
The Rams appear to have a different
attitude on defense this year looking to
be tougher and more aggressive against
the run. Take away the Colorado running
game, and you take away the offense.
Who to watch: Buffs fans are
itching to see what mutli-talented
backup quarterback Bernard Jackson can
do. He appeared to be ready to come into
the MSU game late, but a turnover
prevented it from happening. If Cox
starts out like he did against the
Bobcats, the Jackson era might begin.
... For Colorado State, the loss of Bell
meant several backs got turns at bat.
UCLA transfer and former defensive
player Nnamdi Ohaeri, Michael Myers and
Michael Johnson were able to combine for
111 yards against Weber State and all
have to get in the mix against the
Buffs. It would be nice if one could get
hot and be the main man, but that's not
likely to happen.
What will happen: Colorado isn't
that bad, is it? The Buff offense will
struggle, but the defense will make up
for the problems by forcing several
mistakes. This will be when CU's
All-America placekicker shows off just
how good he is.

Iowa State
7 pm EST Saturday, September 9th
Why to watch:
If this is anything like last week's
Iowa State three overtime win over
Toledo, it could be the best game of the
weekend. The Cyclones got off to a rocky
start showing no pass defense and not
enough offense until late needing a
dropped two point conversion to seal the
win. A week before the rivalry showdown
with Iowa, ISU has to face the Mountain
West's top wild card. UNLV got a
big-time infusion of talent this
off-season with several great players
coming in from the JUCO ranks. After
blowing up Idaho State 54-10, Mike
Sanford and his spread offense should
provide a huge test for a Cyclone team
that needs this win with Iowa, Texas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech coming
up in the next six weeks.
Why UNLV might win: Clint
Cochran. The Toledo quarterback lit up
the Cyclone secondary like a Christmas
tree completing 39 of 49 passes for 367
yards and three touchdowns with an
interception. If things haven't
dramatically changed over the last week,
UNLV's new star, QB Rocky Hinds, should
go nuts. The former USC Trojan threw for
322 yards and a touchdown and ran for 42
yards and a score against Idaho State
showing a great command of the offense
and spreading the ball around well. If
this gets into a shootout, UNLV has the
Why Iowa State might win:
Can the Rebels get any pressure on Iowa
State's Bret Meyer? The Cyclone
quarterback was terrific against Toledo
running for 70 yards and three
touchdowns and throwing for 234 yards
and two scores. He's a veteran leader
who is deadly when he gets time and room
to operate. UNLV got four sacks on Idaho
State QB Matt Gutierrez, but the pass
rush should be an issue against the
better offensive lines. Meyer's mobility
will give the Rebels fits.
Who to watch: The quarterbacks
will take center stage, but they have to
throw to someone. UNLV Ryan Wolfe set a
school-record for a freshman with 160
yards and a touchdown on six catches
last week, and he's not even close to
being the team's most talented receiver.
JUCO transfer Aaron Straiten only caught
two passes for 15 yards against Idaho
State, but he'll eventually blow up and
put up huge numbers. Iowa State's top
target, Todd Blythe, wasn't great for
most of the night against Toledo, but he
was great when he had to be catching two
touchdown passes including what turned
out to be the game-winner in overtime.
Former USC Trojan and top Rebel corner
Eric Wright will see plenty of time
against the Cyclone junior.
What will happen: It'll be a
shock if the two teams don't combine for
over 600 passing yards. Even through
UNLV's Erick Jackson is a dangerous
runner, Iowa State's ground game with
Stevie Hicks and Bret Meyer will be
enough to pull out another wild Cyclone
home game.

Recommendation 1
Direct exploration of subglacial aquatic environments is required if we are to understand these unique systems. Exploration of subglacial aquatic environments should proceed and take a conservative approach to stewardship and management while encouraging field research.
Recommendation 2
Exploration protocols should assume that all subglacial aquatic environments contain or may support living organisms and are potentially linked components of a subglacial drainage basin.
Recommendation 3
As soon as adequate survey data have been gathered to provide a sound basis for description, all subglacial aquatic environments intended for research should be designated Antarctic Specially Protected Areas to ensure that all scientific activities are managed within an agreed international plan and are fully documented.
Recommendation 4
As soon as adequate survey data have been gathered to provide a sound basis for description, actions should be taken to designate certain exemplar pristine subglacial environments as Antarctic Specially Protected Areas for long-term conservation purposes.
Recommendation 5
Multinational projects should be encouraged in the study of subglacial aquatic environments, and all projects aiming to penetrate into a lake should be required to undertake a Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation.
Recommendation 6
The National Science Foundation should work in conjunction with the U.S. representatives to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research and to the Committee on Environmental Protection to involve all Antarctic Treaty nations in developing a consensus-based management plan for the exploration of subglacial aquatic environments. This plan should seek to develop scientific understanding and ensure that the environmental management of subglacial aquatic environments is held to the highest standards.
The problem of how to penetrate kilometers of the ice sheet and sample subglacial aquatic environments in the cleanest and least intrusive manner possible remains a considerable technological challenge. Current drilling technologies are not sterile; drilling fluids may contain both microbes and substrates for microbial growth. In addition, the
