This was posted on the California Forum, don't know who the poster is or if in fact he/she is related to Mendes, but something to ponder if true.
Sounds like a load of bull to me, a ref, especially at that level, would never do that.
I call BS on this too. No way, No how do you admit that. Maybe if you are writing your memoirs or something. Wrong place and time.
RIP Jacob Schlottke; KR1963 and rpayton
A former AA told me that a ref. apologized to him the next year for a bad call. I don't think it is entirely unbelievable, but i still don't buy it.
If it is true, that sucks. But even so, he shouldn't have left it in the ref's hands. And if Mendes would have gotten the takedown and wrestled differently, that still does not mean he would have won. Jaggers likely would have wrestled differently too.
If what she say's is true, and she is truly the mom, I understand her frustration, but saying "we will never forgive you" is pretty childish and she needs to grow up.
And Kessel went to the Churella family and said the same thing!
I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again!
Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
Kessel did blow it...i thought mendes match was officiated fine...Jaggers was the best..
I know that his mother posted something similar on my forum and it is in fact her. In real time I thought it was a TD, but I haven't seen the TV broadcast, maybe not.
He let himself down, for what...a woman. I say, go be a world champion let the women come to you......Tito Ortiz
That's such a shame, not getting the 2 in the second caused him to give up 2 & 2 in the third period. Her sons score was 1-0 going into the third, with him on bottom. I would think a "champion" would have shrugged off the no call and proceed to outwrestle his opponent the final 2 minutes of the match. Jaggers earned his championship, his mom said so!

Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeding the total capacity of its bounds, with the result that some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body. It can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high it flows right out of the river channel, particularly at corners or meanders.
The word comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Teutonic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float).
The term "The Flood," capitalized, usually refers to the great Universal Deluge described in Genesis and is treated at Deluge.
For example: Tropical Storm Alberto, the famous 1994 storm, produced heavy flooding across Georgia, Alabama and northwest Florida and created between 400-600 million dollars worth of damage in the Southeastern US in 1994 United States Dollars
In western countries, rivers prone to floods are often carefully managed. Defences such as levees, bunds, reservoirs, and weirs are used to prevent rivers from bursting their banks. Coastal flooding has been addressed in Europe with coastal defences, such as sea walls and beach nourishment.
London is protected from flooding by a huge mechanical barrier across the River Thames, which is raised when the water level reaches a certain point (see Thames Barrier).
Venice has a similar arrangement, although it is already unable to cope with very high tides. The defenses of both London and Venice will be rendered inadequate if sea levels continue to rise.
The largest and most elaborate flood defenses can be found in the Netherlands, where they are referred to as Delta Works with the Oosterschelde dam as its crowning achievement. These works were built in response to the North Sea flood of 1953 of the southwestern part of the Netherlands. The Dutch had already built one of the world's largest dams in the north of the country: the Afsluitdijk (closing occurred in 1932).
Currently the Saint Petersburg Flood Prevention Facility Complex is to be finished by 2008, in Russia, to protect Saint Petersburg from storm surges. It also has a main traffic function, as it completes a ring road around Saint Petersburg. Eleven dams extend for 25.4 kilometres and stand eight metres above water level.
The New Orleans Metropolitan Area, 35% of which sits below sea level, is protected by hundreds of miles of levees and flood gates. This system failed catastrophically during Hurricane Katrina in the City Proper and in eastern sections of the Metro Area, resulting in the inundation of approximately 50% of the Metropolitan area, ranging from a few inches to twenty feet in coastal communities.
In an act of successful flood prevention, the Federal Government of the United States offered to buy out flood-prone properties in the United States in order to prevent repeated disasters after the 1993 flood across the Midwest. Several communities accepted and the government, in partnership with the state, bought 25,000 properties which they converted into wetlands. These wetlands act as a sponge in storms and in 1995, when the floods returned, the government didn't have to expend resources in those areas.
In China, flood diversion areas are rural areas that are deliberately flooded in emergencies in order to protect cities

Does the Boulder municipal utility saga mean more munis coming?
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Recent articles and recaps of the Boulder, CO saga have me wondering if we will start to see a shift to municipal utilities. Take a quick review of the story and use the Comment form at the bottom to record your opinion. - By Jesse Berst
Clean Technica recently ran a story documenting Boulder's plan to "secede" from Xcel Energy and form its own municipal utility. From where I sit, the story is a bit one-sided. It recounts the complaints about Xcel made by former mayor Susan Osborne. But it fails to include Xcel's side of the story. Nor does it give Xcel credit for having the courage to be an early smart grid pioneer.
Even so, it does outline the essentials while begging a larger, national question. The process started in 2003. Boulder had a climate-action plan in place and began studying the option of its own municipal utility. The goals included more control over technology and an increase in green energy.
Fast forward a few years, and Xcel chose Boulder for the nation's first-ever comprehensive smart grid deployment. In many ways it was a great technical success, especially from the utility point of view, greatly enhancing situational awareness, improving efficiency and enhancing reliability.
But it also had three big problems. First, it did a poor job of giving customers tools to understand and control their energy usage. Second, Xcel did a poor job communicating its achievements and why they mattered to customers. (A flaw it shared with most of the early smart grid trailblazers.) Third, it came in over budget and badly mangled its attempt to get paid for the overage.

I'm just glad that for now I can continue to stay with my pro account for $24.95/yr. The new $50 ad free tier is pretty lame. Yahoo definitely wants to drive everyone towards the free account since they probably will make more money off you in ad revenues that way. Still this is all good news to the majority of flickr users which were non-pro account users anyway, I believe.
As for the design; I think the single photo viewing page needs some work to have some of that old look and feel. Also the ability to customize how your photostream looks needs to come back.

The Hill
Sen. Tom Carper chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
With each new Congress comes a new slate of leaders who will be looking into your agency's operations. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has a few new subcommittee chairmen and subcommittees with new focuses.
Committee Chairman Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) announced the new subcommittees Feb. 13.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is still chairwoman of the subcommittee that studies procurement problems. But her subcommittee has expanded its focus. The ad hoc Contracting Oversight Subcommittee, as it was previously known, is now the Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee. She will be delving into agencies' efforts to improve how they manage significant acquisitions. The jurisdiction of McCaskill's subcommittee also encompasses programs to improve financial transparency, expenditure tracking and efforts to prevent and recoup improper payments across the federal government.
"I'm putting every federal agency on notice—any employee or contractor who wastes taxpayer money, or acts inappropriately on the taxpayer dime, will have this committee to answer to," said McCaskill, former prosecutor and state auditor.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is the subcommittee's ranking member.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) will chair the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He will be studying how efficiently the government operates and complies with regulations, which remains the same as the previous Congress. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is the ranking member.
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) will chair the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Federal Programs and the Federal Workforce Subcommittee. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) is the ranking member.
Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) will chair the Emergency Management, Intergovernmental Affairs, and the District of Columbia Subcommittee. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is the ranking member.

Kitchen, bath expo shows off refined finishes
Soft materials, glass accents, high-tech sinks and commodes redefine designs at New Orleans show
Black and white glass, inspired by the iPhone's now iconic style, is a major design trend, and Robern's glass fronts captured that, but truly intriguing was its Digital Wood glass, which is much more comfortable around water than its natural counterpart. My only quibble was the decision to have the side panel grain go vertical when the front grain was horizontal.
Formica was celebrating its 100th anniversary with some fabulous new laminates. Petrified Wood was easily the best-looking Formica I've ever seen, and would make for a handsome accent surface.
The real game-changing material at the show was previewed by Cosentino, (no photos allowed). This Spanish surfacing company, best known for its Silestone countertops at Home Depot, is developing a revolutionary new countertop material they're calling Dekton. Dekton is a blend of quartz, porcelain and glass, combining three of the most durable, low-maintenance surfaces in the industry. It is slated for release later in the year.
Sustainability trend
Although the show ended just before Earth Day, KBIS 2013 had a definite sustainability trend running through it. Toilets and shower heads got more low flow than ever, without sacrificing performance. Energy-saving LEDs illuminated kitchen and bath cabinetry in numerous booths, and enhanced lighting fixtures.
One of my favorite sustainable finds was Benjamin Moore's new Advance Interior, a plant-based, non-petroleum oil paint ideal for both the environment and your bathroom walls.

E3 2014: Impressive PC Games of E3
GameSpot editors sound off on a few standout PC games of E3 2014. Don't let the console heavy show fool you, there are still plenty of new PC games on display.
by Andy Bauman on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Hehe. Second and third game pretty much got described as "Meh... free to play i guess", Not sure that should put them on a "most impressive" list. Some of the others look interesting though, happy to see Petroglyph still exists
Am I the only one that didn't like hotline miami? Those graphics are so straining for me.
I think companys should look after the PC games littel more
Impressive!!! kinda...
NO good games for PC this E3 years...where is Sunset Overdrive, everythink is so shity, I need some new Hack and slash games!!!! GIVE ME HACK AND SLASH!!!!!! I dont need RPG, FPS, Strategy, Sims :((( Give us Bayonetta!!!!
Not impressed, other than Elite Dangerous. And where is Star Citizen? Did they skip E3? The Sims is focusing on players with under-performing PCs and laptops, so they have compromised on how advanced the series can be, so I am not impressed there either.
I actually didn't even know H1Z1 was coming to PC; I thought it was a Ps4 only game.
I love consolite mentality: PC exclusives objectively SUCK because I don't like them.
haha, Danny is the best. This video seemed a little too serious until his description about battle mage.
The Sims 4 is impressive? LOL
Lichdom Battlemage is a title I hadn't heard of. I like playing a mage but most games just give you the same common spells when you level up. This game appears to give you a blank slate to craft your own. While there may be some balance challenges I like the concept of being a different spellcaster with every build. It's early access on Steam so I added it to my wishlist to keep an eye on their progress.
So...that is what you call impressive?? lol good to know ;)
may try to upgrade to play evolve and the mage game, will stick to ps4 for multi-plats though...god i hate nvidia optimus...
saving this for the record: "Big orgy of people with massive mage hardons." XD
What's the game in the thumbnail? The blonde girl with the bloodied face.
Is it just me, or is Shaun McInnis (@smcinnis) a worthy challenger to Seb Ford's (@readysebbygo) title of "Best Hair amongst Gamespot Staff?"
What about star citizen. I don't know if it was at e3 but I think its one of the best upcoming pc games.
I kind of liked this video (for some of these games), mainly because it reminds me of how PC gaming used to be in regards to consoles, higher resolution, but since most PCs back then and even now, weren't capable of pushing polygons at all (most do it slowly now, but millions have good gpus, even integrated) so the games looked great, but they were just a different kind of game in a different mode than consoles. Microsoft better than anyone should know that controllers (their own) and integrated Intel and AMD gpus are good enough to push real gaming for the "mainstream" going forward, but like has happened with assumed hardware in phone and tablet games. PC games don't have to be this minimal anymore.
Anything above 60fps is BS. And not locial... Even when my PC can do more, I prefer locking at 60fps... gives it more of a cinema felling at 30 and 60...
But hey, that's just me...
Why the fuck does everyone think sniper elite is a good game? It's a one trick pony where you play through linear levels and get to witness the same xray sniper executions. Over, and over, and OVER AGAIN! Fuck! And people complain about cod...
#MultiplayerMasterRace signing in
Really only Elite looks interesting here for me. F2P (or actually P2W) on PC, please no. Let's hope the Indie scene keeps on delivering.
I wouldn't play any of these games to be honest... waste of time watching the clip
I thought the title was "Impressive PC Games" This display is pitiful and really does not show off the capacity of what PC games can and should be like.
I'll be watching Grey Goo. We need more strategy games on the market.
Evolve is BASICALLY a PC game that console peasants get to enjoy too.
@porcupine-fur I didn't but it was for different reasons, I didn't like the repetition of it all. Every level starts with you picking up the phone you then go to some building and slaughter hundreds of men, go to some shop to pick up some cash or whatever only to go back to your apartment and pick the phone up again.
That is the exact reason why most Indie games don't appeal to me, you just feel like you are repeating yourself over and over for the entire game.
Uh, you just have a different taste in games. Sunset Overdrive doesn't look that great to me and hack n slash games have to be very good for me to enjoy them.
Lots of great games coming to the PC.
@cireking213 Gamespot done a video with Star Citizen, have a look on the website.
It's actually coming to PC first and PS4 later.
@billzihang I think all exclusives objectively suck because they cut gamers off from decent titles because they don't want to waste money on hardware they don't need.
@billzihang It's not because they don't like them, it's because they can't play PC games and so claim not to like anything that PC has to offer.
@CaptainBerserk Considering a huge part of the games that were announced as the BIG TITLES during the consoles show off, will run much better on PC anyway, and that many of these PC exclusives are actually game genres that can't be played or don't work on consoles at all, and PC has and runs all the genres in gaming appart from ridiculous stuff like kinect games, I'd say PC is doing great ;)
Enjoy a distant second best on PS4 as far as multiplatform games go.
@lostn Battlecry. Free 2 play game from Bethesda.
@JRHT @smcinnis @readysebbygo Shaun's hair is way better than Seb's. However Maxwell has great hair too and he's known for always having a hairbrush with him everywhere he goes.
Agreed, I havent played many space sims but its nice to see some rejuvination of the genre.
@TheExxorcist There's nothing new about high frames rate. I used to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein at 120 fps on my old CRT monitor. I used to get headaches with anything refreshing at less than 70Hz.
30 frames a second is eye wateringly bad for gaming, especially in multiplayer where a low frame rate reduces reaction time. The only reason anyone gets away with it today is because LED/Plasma TV's refresh in a different way to CRT. 60 is acceptable but more is better by far, there's a reason that vsync can cause screen tearing.
Don't make excuses for bad hardware and programming.
@tim1935 Elite F2P? It's not f2p if you didn't know. Right now it's the spectral opposite ($150 for beta) then i think it drops to $35 at release.
@Poodger Mmm, this GTA5 pie is so delicious, want some?
@Dannystaples14 I agree, they fell short on innovation, well most of them in any case. But it seems people actually liked this game because of the gameplay that is simple yet full of gore and violence.
@Damazig Yeah but, that's not the point, i'm still utterly uninpressed with this games considering the potential of PCs.
If you get headaches at anything less than 70hz. .. you need to go to the doctor... what happens when you watch a Bluray in 24fps. .. ??? Should I call med-evac...?
That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard.. it's not bad coding or hardware... 60fps Is perfectly fine
@bearfan15 @Alexrmf Kids, in time they learn that it's not all about main stream.
@Selindrile @Poodger I'd rather have a steak pie than a mixed meat pie anyway. Steak pie takes a bit longer to prepare and cook
@Selindrile @Poodger GTA5 was bad.
@Selindrile @Poodger Ours will be out of the oven in a few months, peasant.
No need for me to say more @imperious_stout pretty much said everything there was to add
@TheExxorcist He said he used to get headaches with anything less than 70hz on a CRT. If you haven't used a CRT as your PC monitor then you probably don't know about the extreme flicker at refresh rates like 60 or 70hz. They gave me a headache back in the day too. It didn't even matter what fps the content itself was running at, if the display wasn't above 85hz it was painful on the eyes after a while. Today though, people with 120-144hz LCDs and hardware to run fast paced FPS games at those speeds would tell you 60fps is not perfectly fine. It does make a difference, but a one that most non-competitive fps gamers don't really care about. It makes a difference even in Windows with the way the UI and cursor responds and is drawn. It's very surprising when you first jump to 120hz from 60. It's just as noticeable as 60 is to 30.
@Starkiller2201 @Selindrile @Poodger You need to push the key board away, walk outside and meet some people. If you go around calling anyone who doesn't have a pc a peasant than you really don't have a life.
@imperious_stout I never saw a game running at 120hz. To play lastest games on 60 fps its too expensive for me. I can`t imagine buy anything to run at 120hz. :(

What I disliked about District 9
This quote sums up District 9:
The humans' treatment of the "prawns," which is clearly modelled on the Apartheid government's actions, as well as the local masses' recent xenophobic behaviour, is quite horrible – but it's also difficult to stop laughing if your tastes in humour are cynical and politically incorrect..
I enjoyed it. I really did. It couldn't have been the rational part of me that had enjoyed the movie; it must've been the irrational part. Or perhaps it's because there were many South Africanisms in the movie, especially Wikus' use of 'fok', 'fokken' and 'kak'. Another thing, and this I read on someone else's review, is that neither the Pentagon nor the White House had any involvement. How's that for awesome and refreshing?
But there were many scenes that upset me – visually and morally. Hakeem Kae-Kazim, the Hotel Rwanda actor, criticised the movie; and Armond White also criticised the movie. Other reviews give it far more praise than scorn: NYT says it is a "smart, swift new film from the South African director Neill Blomkamp";Rotten Tomatoes gives it a score of 89%
The movie does have many flaws. And, let's admit it, it's a racist anti-racism movie. But it did have a few scenes that stood out.
Another quote that sums up what I think about the movie: "But I don't think that means we can give it a free pass from the charge that a significant aspect of the film IS racist or assume that because some of the film is anti-racist, nothing in it can be racist."
So, besides the plot holes, here are the things that I noticed – and that alarmed me – about District 9:
We see few women
Christopher's son doesn't have a mother. The only women we meet are connected to Wikus – his wife, his mother and his colleagues – or they are witch doctors or prostitutes. But we don't even get to meet the prostitutes: we only see them doing the things – interspecies sex – they do. And the witchdoctor looks scary, no? "…she might as well have had a bone through her nose and been muttering "unga munga""
When do we get a woman [of colour?] as a main character? And when do we get a woman who has more than a couple of sentences in a Sci-Fi movie?
Soweto's citizens are barbarians
Does Blomkamp not know that Desmond Tutu lives in Soweto? And that there are many middle class people living in Soweto? Surely they do not all riot?
The Nigerians speak Xhosa
Nigerians are not Xhosa; Nigerians speak Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Kanuri and English, among others. I understand that the drug lord could've used South Africans to work for him but we never know for sure; all we know is that the Nigerians run the cat food scam, not South Africans.
The fast food manager had a gun
Why would any fast food manager have a gun hidden away in case someone like Wikkus limps in?
Black people – Nigerians, mostly – are uncivilised.
Yes, there are Nigerian drug lords living in South Africa. But there are also many Nigerians who live legal lives. We only get to see the bad ones; we don't see 'good ones'. Why not portray one or two 'lesser evil' Nigerians?
Contrast this to the white people whom Blomkamp depict as rational and civilised, even though they are evil. Their characters are a bit more well-developed – one even has a family! – and more thought out than the black characters.
The lone good black character is yet another cardboard cut out figure and we don't even get to see much of him.
The riots reminded me far too much of 2008′s xenophobic riots
It was uncomfortable to see how black people are once more depicted as savages who run around with sticks, looting everything in sight. They could've shown one or two middle class people in their middle class Soweto home, talking about how they'd rather the aliens leave for good.
But no. He doesn't want to depart from the familiar trope of African savages – he probably reckons that his mostly American, mostly white, northern hemisphere audience doesn't understand anything that differs from their preconceived ideas about Africa.
This be no Apartheid/District 6 allegory
I've heard this one so many times, from so many different people. I don't agree with it and I've only encountered one or two dismissals of this theory.
The aliens and real South Africans of colour only have two things in common: they lived in shacks and they weren't welcome. And not all POC South Africans lived in slums during the 1960s and 1970s; many lived in neighbourhoods similar to ones we see in white areas.
POC in Apartheid South Africa didn't destroy trains for 'no reason'; they destroyed property in protest of their treatment by the NP government.
I'd love to hear a good argument for why I should see District 9 as an Apartheid allegory.
You'll enjoy it much more if you can switch off your brain by ignoring – or celebrating – the racism, the gaps in the plot and the needless action scenes.

yes and no.
No: (a) Tutu lives in Cape Town not soweto, (b) fast food managers in SA are likely to have a gun not for wikus but as protection from getting robbed (not that this makes things safer for them as they'd be more likely to get shot if they pull out the gun)
Yes: You are correct that this is a racist anti-racist film a la Helen Zille. It is also a sexist anti-sexist film and a xenophobic anti-xenophobic film. This is the way life has become here in South Africa. For instance, a white South African can no longer be overtly racist these days. Instead they have to couch their racism by saying things like: 'I dont see race' and 'Some of my best friends are black'. This film is the same way. There's wikus' assistant who plays the token good middle class black guy. And as you say, women are trivialised because they can neither be a hero or evil – they are merely there being used but the evil or good men in the movie. This is the new non-racialism/non-sexism – removing the possibility of real transformation.
The same goes with the aliens. There's only two alien characters that have any sort of depth to them. The rest are 'the dumb workers'. In other words, they are identical to the way many white South Africans view poor black South Africans such as those that lived in Chiawelo until they were evicted out of gentrifying Soweto (and thus made filming the movie there easier – how ironic!). Essentially, the film is saying that the poor underlclass cannot save themselves. They need smart and civilised heros like Christopher and Wikus to save them.
In other words, District 9 is an anti-apartheid, pro-post-apartheid (neo-apartheid) movie.
But this is where I think this blogger is wrong. "They could've shown one or two middle class people in their middle class Soweto home, talking about how they'd rather the aliens leave for good." Are you implying that only middle class blacks can think in humanistic terms towards the 'other'?
I enjoyed the movie too. I especially liked how it mirrors the way the mainstream media here in SA treats poor black South African shackdwellers today forcing them to 'Temporary Relocation Areas' far away from the city. This movie is a perfect allegory to South Africa today. But this movie is only a perfect allegory to South Africa written from the perspective of liberal white South Africans that tout racist non-racialism.
Its sad because this movie could have been amazingly deep. It could have delved into what daily life at District 9 might have been like. It could have shown that there was likely a lot of good things going on in District 9 just like SA's informal settlements. That there probably would be a lot of cooperation between District 9 aliens and other poor Soweto residents to help one another survive. It could have shown that shack settlements are a legitimate response of oppressed people who are refused the 'right to the city' and that they are simultaneously places of despair and hope. Anyone who has spent time in a 'slum' knows this is true.
If District 9 was a true anti-racist film. If it told the truth. Then it would have shown the aliens banding together and protesting their forced removal (rather than being to stupid to realise their common predicament).
Hey, Jared
Great comment. And at the time I thought Desmond Tutu lives in Soweto. I should've googled to see whether I'm correct.
I, too, wondered why Wikus had to be a white guy. Why not a black guy? Or a woman? But that won't pull in the viewers, right? It'll alienate the 18- to 24-year-old male demographic who launches a thousand blockbusters.
You ask whether I think only "middle class blacks can think in humanistic terms towards the 'other'?". No, I wanted there to be some balance. They showed the poor, oppressed shackdwellers. Why not also show us black people who aren't 1) toy-toying, and 2) poor.
And yes, the movie could've been deep. But I don't think that was their intention. They wanted a blockbuster, and it seems as though that's what they got.
some people thought it was deep …. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2009/sep/08/district-9-racism
and i'd imagine the director is one of those….
I think the movie summed up human nature pretty well. Forget about Nigerians, blacks, aliens etc. It shows human nature.
So we should just ignore the stereotypes? And not get worked up over nothing?
What I enjoyed most about the movie, and it probably sounds shallow of me, is that it was accepted into the mainstream while still being very South African.
I suppose it's because cultural/media imperialism is one of my bugbears, but it was nice to see an SA movie doing well in the US box office without losing its South Africanness.
Nah, not shallow. It's a good point. Do you think Americans 'got' all the South African reference points? I'm thinking of seeing the movie again. I missed out on the first couple of minutes.
I'm pretty sure they didn't. But how often do we watch a movie thinking "Why is it funny that she comes from Omaha?" but still enjoy the movie?
Perhaps watching a violent scifi set in another country makes people feel cultured, or that they're being somewhat intellectual.
Very true. Funny how I yet again fell into the trap of 'othering' South African movies… American movies are so 'normal' — we all take it for granted that everyone will just 'get' everything about American movies.
It's very hard not to "other" South African (or anything other than American) stuff. We're taught anything other than American is "foreign", to the point of believing that of ourselves!
I've even noticed when leaving comments or blogging, I use Americanisms (gas instead of petrol, store instead of shop, etc) to pander to the majority of internet users.
I draw the line at spelling though

Concern but little action over 'green IT' so far

Forrester Research on Thursday published a report showing that 85 percent of 124 IT procurement officers surveyed thought environmental matters were important.
Those priorities dovetail with IT vendors who are stepping up efforts to develop energy-efficient products, such as IBM's Project Big Green launched Thursday, and tackle environmental problems.
However, despite the availability of products, such as servers and chips that consume less power, only one quarter of the IT managers surveyed said they had formalized "green" criteria in their processes.
Many companies already have environmental initiatives under the rubric of corporate social responsibility. But "green" initiatives within IT are motivated primarily by cost savings, said Christopher Mines, the report's author.
"We heard two reasons why green matters: efficiency and corporate responsibility. Most IT decision-makers told us that a green purchase would only happen in the context of cost reduction. These are hard-headed, ROI-driven business decisions," Mines said in a statement.
The study found that awareness of green issues varies widely among different customer companies but there was interest in hearing more from vendors.
The report also noted that vendors' green efforts include recycling and reduction of electronic waste, supply-chain efficiency, and less energy-intensive manufacturing processes.
Mines forecasts that there will be more marketing from vendors about their green IT products as well as more scrutiny by environmental organizations and more discussion overall.
A separate study by communications consulting firm Hill & Knowlton, which queried 420 people involved in IT decisions, found results similar to those published by Forrester Research.
The Hill & Knowlton survey found that most organizations don't have a defined energy strategy and that 77 percent thought that there should be a chief energy officer.

- is for making money, else it would be a charity. The idea of green companies will only happen if the owners see money. Most people in the tech profession consider efficiency of the system. In the end, bigger and faster = better. As an IT professional, I'm not going to slow down my servers. I'm not going to shut down my servers except for maintenance. If people want us to be more energy efficient, they have to develop faster processors, hd, ect.(even software) that use less power, preferably cheaper.

Regulatory agencies require comprehensive characterization of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to ensure purity and efficacy. This includes a thorough analysis of aggregate forms and charge variants during various product approval stages during the biopharmaceutical development process.
Due to these requirements, researchers face many challenges, such as:
Here, we present a study, titled, Automated Monoclonal Antibody 2-Dimensional Workflow: from Harvest Cell Culture to Variant Analysis, (downloadable PDF) describing a workflow that completes MAb affinity purification, size-exclusion analysis, and charge variant analysis in less than one hour! In the study, a 2-Dimensional (2D) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) workflow is automated using an integrated HPLC system.
The two columns used to provide high-throughput MAb characterization are our size-exclusion and ion-exchange monoclonal antibody analytical columns (Thermo Scientific MAbPac SEC-1 size-exclusion column and Thermo Scientific MAbPac SCX-10 column). The MAbPac SCX-10 column is intended for high-resolution separation and analysis of monoclonal antibody variants and delivers high resolution separation with shorter run times using either salt or pH gradients. By incorporating this column into the platform, the entire workflow from harvest cell culture to MAb variant analysis can be completed in less than one hour.
By the way, check out this sample chromatogram showing the MAbPac SCX-10 column achieving a high-resolution analysis of MAb variants in only 15 minutes! (downloadable PDF).
Also, if you are interested, you can check out our four HPLC systems specially designed for MAb analysis:
This monthly enewsletter focuses on the challenges and solutions for biopharmaceutical product discovery, development, and production. It covers recent applications, posters and papers, strategies and technologies. If you have any questions or comments or want a topic featured in the newsletter, write to the market manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Web Site Checklist
The following are general guidelines for developing Web sites at USC. Designers should check with schools for department-specific requirements.
All USC Web authors are responsible for adhering to the policies governing the use of Web resources at USC. This page highlights three essential requirements for university Web sites:
A link to the USC home page
Contact information
(e.g., email or Web form)
An official USC logo
(in adherence to USC Graphic Identity Program Guidelines)
Web sites that do not satisfy this checklist are not eligible for usc.edu web addresses or inclusion in the USC's search index.
University Web sites include those sponsored and maintained by academic and administrative units; student, faculty, or staff organizations; or their appointed designates.
Link to USC Home page
All university Web sites should contain a link to the USC home page (www.usc.edu). This requirement can be fulfilled by linking the text "University of Southern California" in the branding bar at the top of every page (see the Graphic Identity Program for information on branding bars).
Contact Information
Each university Web site must provide an effective feedback mechanism (e.g., email or Web form) allowing visitors to communicate with the group responsible for the site. Such feedback mechanisms must be monitored regularly, and a site representative should either issue a response or route messages to an appropriate party in a timely manner. As with other forms of information and communication, appropriate university officials are accountable for Web sites in their area of responsibility.
The USC Identity Program
The USC Graphic Identity Program Guidelines - which govern how USC logos, symbols, and trademarks may be used - are in full force in the Web environment. Further information about the USC Identity Program and its guidelines is available online (www.usc.edu/identity).
Every home page, service and publication on USCweb MUST have an identifying USC mark to show its university affiliation. "Home page" here is defined as the top-level page for each school, department, program or organization. Ready-to-use USC Identity graphics are available on the Identity Program Web site.

Study Substantiates Need for Proper Labor Reform
For more information on Newsline, contact: Kari Barbic, Media Specialist, American Farm Bureau Federation, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The American Farm Bureau recently commissioned a study that lays out four scenarios of how Congress could act on immigration reform, and how that would affect the entire agriculture sector. Seanica Otterby has the story.
|This study, Gauging the Farm Sector's Sensitivity to Immigration Reform, is an update to a study conducted eight years ago. One scenario in the study was an enforcement-only approach to immigration reform. Farm Bureau immigration specialist Kristi Boswell says the study results show that approach would be devastating to agriculture if put into effect.
|The study estimates 30- to 60-billion dollars in economic losses for agriculture production, and 5 to 6-percent increase in food prices. So it does affect not only the producer side of things, but the consumer side as well.
|Boswell says the livestock industry wasn't contemplated in the previous study.
|This time it found dramatic impacts of enforcement only on immigration. There would be production losses of 13 to 27-percent in the livestock sector alone.
|Farmers would welcome domestic workers, but Boswell says Americans have outgrown crop work.
|I use me as an example. I grew up on a farm. I love agriculture and am still involved in the industry, but I didn't return to the farm. That's the trends at an owner-manager level, let alone a crop worker level, who are out really doing that manual labor of picking strawberries and cutting lettuce.
|If Congress doesn't act on immigration reform, Boswell says there will be more labor shortages and market instability.
|We can't sustain in that environment, and so we will get to the point that instead of importing our labor, we're importing our food.
|Boswell says ag labor reform must be done right so there's a solution to farmers' short-term and long-term needs. Seanica Otterby, Washington.

Luanda — The secretary of State for Family and Promotion of Women, Ana Paula Sacramento, said last Sunday that the intensive divulgence of the Law on Domestic Violence has been contributing to the increase in the number of denunciations that reach the concerned authorities.
Ana Paula Sacramento, who was speaking at the launching of the Sixteen-day Campaign against Gender Violence, said that in some areas violence is decreasing, because people are attentive and there is more and more divulgence of the law.
She explained that campaigns against violence have been done through sensitization works, which have had the support of the ruling party's female wing (OMA).
"The idea is that if in one street there is an average of 15 cases of violence per day, then it has to go down to none", she stressed.
She also emphasised that the sensitisation work must be strengthened so that each child can grow in an environment without violence, appealing to parents and guardians to consider their neighbour's children as their own.
On her turn, the MP Genoveva Lino said that the fight against violence has to be continuous and the whole society must be involved.
The Sixteen-day Campaign against Gender Violence will end on December 10, Human Rights' Day.

Viacom moves on without YouTube

Diller's IAC to spend big on Net contentFebruary 7, 2007
Viacom to YouTube: Take down pirated clipsFebruary 2, 2007
Viacom representatives have been quietly telling industry insiders this week that they plan to aggressively promote their revamped ComedyCentral.com Web site. Viacom executives here at the Media Summit Conference won't say exactly what they intend to do, but it's already apparent they plan to put some power behind the promotion.
The company recently began offering so-called embed code that allows fans of popular programs such as the The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to post clips to their MySpace.com pages or blogs. That embed code duplicates one of the more popular features of YouTube: the ability to easily post videos on other Web sites and blogs.
The idea behind the strategy, experts believe, is to find a "workaround" to YouTube. And while Viacom executives say they're not trying to take the Google-owned video-sharing site head on, there's no question that relations between the two companies are chilly. After months of fruitless negotiations, Viacom last week demanded that YouTube remove 100,000 clips that featured the company's television shows or movies.
"YouTube throws down the gauntlet for any television network or content producer to ask, 'Why is it better for people to consume our video on YouTube rather than my site?'" Erik Flannigan, senior vice president of digital media for Comedy Central, said Thursday during an interview with CNET News.com.
"I think it's fair to say Comedycentral.com is a more video-centric site than maybe it has appeared in the past," Flannigan added. "We haven't put videos quite so front and center as they are today."
Viacom's Comedy Central is likely just the start for the embed code, and executives here at the Media Summit entertainment conference said they believe Viacom will likely offer it on other properties, such as the Web sites for Nickelodeon, MTV and Spike TV.
That Viacom is essentially encouraging its Web audience to repost its materials is also the latest indication that big media companies are trying to glom onto Internet concepts such as viral marketing and community sharing while still maintaining some control over the shows they create.
InterActiveCorp plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on Internet content, CEO Barry Diller said Wednesday during the Media Summit. He was asked whether he agreed with Viacom's demand that its videos be pulled off YouTube.
"I would have said (to YouTube), 'Let me be clear with you. You are not going to take the stuff that we made in our house and control it for other people," Diller said.
Viacom's tough stand against YouTube, of course, could be self-defeating, because the company's programming receives a considerable amount of free promotion from YouTube posters. YouTube's typically young, tech-savvy and moneyed audience is exactly the type of viewer big media companies want to capture.
The problem is advertising dollars. Some content creators find it galling that other companies are reaping the financial reward of their work and not sharing in that money. That was a contentious point in the YouTube-Viacom discussions.
In fairness, YouTube asks its users to refrain from posting copyrighted material and has promised that it's working on so-called fingerprinting technology that will alert content creators that their copyrighted material has been posted.
But media companies are increasingly skeptical that video-sharing sites will be able anytime soon to create that technology. Earlier this week, the new head of NBC Universal also took a swing at YouTube, saying at a press conference that the Google-owned company was dragging its feet on deploying technology to protect copyrighted material that gets posted to the site.
Nonetheless, some companies have managed to make at least a tenuous peace with YouTube. CBS, Sony BMG and Universal Music Group have all struck partnerships with YouTube that allow the video-sharing site to feature clips from their TV shows, films or music videos.
Those who have spoken in private with Viacom executives say the company understands that YouTube has helped expose their shows to new viewers. But they believe the viral nature of the Internet itself offers alternatives to YouTube.
By allowing people to post their shows on their MySpace pages and blogs, Viacom is convinced it will generate just as much interest in funny snippets from the company's shows as someone posting a clip on YouTube.
"We definitely feel that video on the Web is a huge tool," Flannigan said. "It drives word-of-mouth discussion about a show."
Offering the embed code also allows them to generate advertising revenue, and some of the clips on Comedycentral.com already feature 30-second advertisements.
"They get a chance to upsell their other shows to people," said an executive at an Internet company familiar with Viacom's plans. "They can keep people coming to their own site, which is valuable."
Flannigan wouldn't provide details on whether other Viacom sites would begin offering embed codes.
"I do think you'll see us go further with this with our other shows," he said.

- Better to AD then take away
- If Viacom wants so be in innovative then stop taking away and worrying about other websites. People get the wqrong impression. Web people like a hpappy freidly company so they thehn get very [popular.
Make your site better, smoother, more savvy and add the posting TAGS so people can ADVERT your show around the web. Forget about what YouTube does.
In fact if y'all are striking partnerships with YouTube how about insuring the video quality (reception) is really high over there too.

- Viacom = not so bright
- First, I'd point out that not all of the 100,000
videos Viacom asked YouTube to pull are
Viacom's. Quite a few people have been upset to
find their own personal video posts -- copyright
by them and containing no content from another
party -- have been yanked from YouTube in
response to the Viacom request.
Second, Viacom is shooting themselves in the
foot. By "opting out" of YouTube exposure, they
are taking their content away from where people
search for it; and they are largely removing
accessibility to search engines. Further, they
take on the mantle of providing the content (the
transcoding, storage, maintenance, bandwidth and
site design) all at cost to them. And in some
instances offer videos with peculiar codecs that
some platforms have issues with, and more
frequently provide sites with botched
JavaScript, HTML, or CSS that frequently renders
poorly or cuts off parts of the video.
"'Why is it better for people to consume our
video on YouTube rather than my site?'" --
Because it's a centralized place to search,
because they're tagged and rated, because your
site takes forever to load, because it doesn't
have as many clips, because people can't comment
on the clips or make cross-references to other
clips, because you can't search by topic across
other videos, and the list goes on.

- viacom w/o you tube
- I once had "The Daily Show" on my "My Yahoo" page, but removed it. Why? There were occasional problems with loading & playback in the beginning, but I could usually eventually get a decent viewing in a reasonable amount of time. Then came the new, improved version. More often than not, I could not even get to the "Mother-Load" screen. When I finally did, it took forever to get to the clip, which almost never ran properly if it ran at all.. So much for Viacom doing a good job on their own. They didn't shoot themselves in the foot; the took out both kneecaps.

- filtering
- good story with a substantial error. Filtering is not hard and is getting easier. It is MUCH easier when filtering videos as they upload, then having to check the entire site each day to see if there is anything new. Audible Magic, gracenote, auditude, Thomson, Phillips all have effective automated solutions. Problem is simply that the studios do not believe youtube has any incentive to implement the technologies. In fact, Chad Hurley said in last Friday's NY Times that they are ready to filter - but only if you have a deal with them. Kind of "if you won't sell it, I'll take it"

- OK, I need You Tube for the traffic it brings to my sites, but I am an individual with a budget of zero for promoting my work. Viacom aren't.
Anyone thinking of piling in and telling me how You Tube is the future of entertainment should first ask themselves "how many fart lighting videos does an intelligent person need to see?"

- You tube only stands to help Viacom. Duh, Viacom might notice that video quality on youtube flash video is terrible. If someone watches a video clip from a you tube video dont you think they might go out and buy the whole video in real high quality dvd. Not to mention if they watch a 2 minute clip from a you tube video they might want to buy the whole movie on dvd in its 2-4 hour format.

Accounting firm eyeing $4.6M Clarence project
Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP is seeking approval to construct a $4.6 million office building in Clarence.
The accounting and business consulting firm is working with McGuire Development Co. on plans to erect a 20,000-square-foot building at 8321 Main St. between Transit and Harris Hill roads, Maguire president James Dentinger said Friday.
The firm wants to consolidate two existing offices into the new facility. It plans to shift employees who work at the Amherst and Clarence offices to the new building and maintain the existing Niagara Falls office, Dentinger said.
Tronconi Segarra employs about 90 people in Western New York. It anticipates adding 50 more employees within the next 10 years, Dentinger said.
The project is contingent upon the approval of the Clarence Industrial Development and the town of Clarence. A public hearing is scheduled for April 18.
It has not yet been determined whether McGuire or the firm will own the building, but Tronconi would be the main occupancy, Dentinger said.

Reality television gets a bad rap. Many wonder how so many nobodies with questionable talent can become some of the most famous people in the world (hey, Honey Boo Boo!). And then they wonder, "How can I do the same?" Well, we don't have the answer to that question, but what we do have is a roundup of the best reality-TV shows hitting the tube this fall. Whether you're a dancing fanatic, a Demi Lovatic or obsessed with JWOWW's ample assets, there's a little something for everyone. The Epcot Center of the tube, if you will. Check out our picks below and then tell us what you'll be watching this fall.
The Voice
Can you believe Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green and Blake Shelton have been blindly auditioning contestants in our living rooms for three seasons now? We can barely remember a time before we had to choose between Team Adam and Team Christina. Thankfully, the bickering foursome is back to in their swiveling chairs on a quest to find The Voice (duh!). And it's not secret that NBC is hoping to deliver a ratings smackdown to Fox's The X Factor in the process. Our opinion: We love Xtina, but our money's on Britney. Premiering September 10, 11, 12 at 8 on NBC, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8.
What the Critics Say: "The Voice promises big changes this year – hopefully they live up to it in a major way because it would be a shame to see the series over-saturate the brand and not make adjustments to ensure its longevity like [American] Idol has somehow managed to do." –– Assignment X
The X Factor
Britney. Spears. Need we say more? Clearly, we don't, but we will anyway. It's been years since we've heard Brit Brit speak more than a few sentences, let alone offer up her opinion. Simon Cowell tells People.com, "[She] is a fascinating person because you just don't know anything about her … she's very unpredictable … she has taken this very seriously and she's surprisingly quite mean." Any show where a "mean" Britney Spears joins forces with hair-chameleon Demi Lovato has us hooked. Premiering September 12, airing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
What the Critics Say: "Curiosity is enough to drive The X Factor to a ratings win tonight. If Britney can help the troubled show find its footing, don't be surprised if she breaks out a rendition of 'Oops! … I Did It Again' and maybe even cracks a smile. –– Boston Herald
Shark Tank
Remember the time you had an idea for a super cool product, but didn't have enough money to make it happen? Shark Tank takes everyday people with great –– and sometimes not so great –– ideas and gives them a forum to pitch their products to a group of "sharks," successful businessmen and women with fat wallets, who will invest in their companies. Sounds extremely nerdy and boring, but Shark Tank is anything but. It was nominated in the non-competition reality show category at this year's Primetime Emmys and features Dallas Mavericks owner –– and noted hothead –– Mark Cuban. Cancel your Friday night plans and dive in. Premiering September 14, airing Fridays at 8 p.m. on ABC; moving to 9 p.m. on November 2.
What the Critics Say: "The tension between the Sharks is palpable. The entrepreneurs more confident. The deals less formulaic. In many ways Shark Tank has become the American Idol of the small business startup." — Forbes
Basketball Wives L.A.
Season 2 of the VH1 hit didn't just make the list because it's one our own shows, it also has the potential to be one of the most drama-filled series this season. When we last left the ladies, Jackie Christie was on the outs with, well, everyone. Luckily, time heals all wounds, and Malaysia Pargo is willing to extend an olive branch. But will the other wives take her lead? Premiered September 10, airing Mondays at 8 p.m. on VH1.
What the Critics Say: "Between 'Miss Jackie' trying to become a part of the crew again, the new big booty video vixen Brooke Bailey stepping her way onto the scene, and old troubles reigniting, this season will definitely be drama-filled." — GlobalGrind
Breaking Amish
TLC was on a roll this summer with its two breakout hits, Abby & Brittany (conjoined twins: two heads, one body!) and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (it's the world's most entertaining redneck family!). With Breaking Amish, the network delves into the lives of adolescents beginning their journey into rumspringa –– a time of exploration when Amish youth decide whether or not to join the church. The previews promise bikinis, mechanical bull riding and hookups, which makes us think this will be a perfect replacement for Jersey Shore. Premiered September 9, airing Sundays at 10 p.m. on TLC.
What the Critics Say: "We're really not sure whether we're gawking at a bizarre social experiment or watching five people make a decision harder than anything the rest of us may ever have to make." –– The New York Daily News
Survivor: Philippines
Back for it's 25th(!) season, Survivor isn't straying from its formula of taking unbelievably attractive people and throwing them on an island with the bare essentials. Three familiar faces will return this season (including this writer's favorite contestant, Jonathan Penner) to compete for the $1 million prize. And if returning faves weren't enough, CBS went ahead and threw in one of our rich girl idols, Lisa Whelchel, who played Blair Warner on the '80s comedy Facts Of Life. Apparently, Tootie and Mrs. Garrett were unavailable. Premiering September 19, airing Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
What the Critics Say: "The location means an opportunity for challenges that can take place out in deep water — something the show has lacked since back in season 16 (Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites)." –– EW.com
Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars
While all of the vocal competition shows duke it out, ABC's Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars should be able to samba away from the pack. This season, our favorite former contestants will salsa, foxtrot and swing their way to the most coveted trophy in all of reality television, the mirror ball. Joey Fatone, Kirstie Alley, Bristol Palin and Sabrina Bryant (chosen by fans) will all dance for your votes (again) when the show returns. Premiering September 24, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
What the Critics Say: "Putting together pre-season rankings on Dancing With the Stars is usually as easy as separating the Michael Boltons from the Nicole Scherezingers. But the show's upcoming All-Star season presents a far more rigorous challenge: 11 of the 13 celebrities in the cast managed to make the finals their first time around, and six of them marched all the way to Mirrorball glory. In other words, the talent pool is as closely matched as it is deep." –– TVLine
Jersey Shore
Yeeeaaahhh, buddy! Poofs, deep V-neck Ts, a pregnant Snooki and rehabbed Mike "The Situation" are all returning to Seaside for one last hurrah before Jersey Shore bows out after six seasons. The Shore may never be the same, but we'll always have gym, tanning and laundry.Premiering October 4, airing Thursdays at 10 p.m. on MTV.
What the Critics Say: "Waaaahhh!" –– VH1 Celebrity

Audio Samples
Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Engaged in an exploration between recorded electronic and live acoustic sound, the innovative 12-piece ensemble Icebreaker and renowned pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole present their "moving and sublime" performance of Brian Eno's Apollo in a definitive and invigorating recording. Widely regarded as Brian Eno's best and most influential ambient album, Apollo was composed by Brian Eno, Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois for Al Reinert's 1983 documentary on the Apollo space missions, For All Mankind. Music from the album was used in the movies 28 Days Later, Traffic, and Trainspotting. Apollo, originally conceived and commissioned in 2009 by the Science Museum, London, commemorates the 40th anniversary of the moon landings. The original concept revolved around restoring a wordless film entirely accompanied by music and thus involved reimagining an electronic work for live performers. With support from Brian Eno, the recording of Apollo by Icebreaker with BJ Cole was completed following a series of sold out and highly acclaimed live performances of the piece, including the IMAX cinema at the Science Museum on July 20th and 21st 2009. Each performance is accompanied by NASA footage of the landing.

It's shaping up for a repeat for MacKenzie Stewart.
The Port Clinton sophomore, who a year ago became the school's first state champion, has the No. 1 time after Thursday's Division II preliminaries at the State Swimming and Diving Championships in Canton.
And to think Stewart, who posted a 2-minute, 6.51-second effort, said the swim was "decent."
"I'm happy with it. The goal was to be in a good spot for (today)," she said.
Mission accomplished since she's in the top spot. But state titles aren't awarded on preliminary swims. Stewart has to win it when it counts today, when the Div. II championships start at 5 p.m.
"I do like going in seeded first, but it's a lot of pressure," Stewart said. "We're all so close. It's a lot of little things that matter."
The top seven in the event are all within 1.05 seconds of Stewart, including Perkins senior Stephanie Gyurke, who enters with the No. 7 time (2:07.56) and will swim just a few lanes away.
"It felt good. It's not as well as I'd have liked," Gyurke said. "I feel really confident about (today)."
Gyurke's time was behind her district performance (2:06.40). The senior and four-time state placer -- she's assured of two medals today -- had the top preliminary time in the 200 IM prelim a year ago (2:05.55), but Stewart won the championship final (2:05.94).
Most of the area swimmers weren't dropping times on the first day for a variety of reasons, be it a day less rest with preliminaries on Thursday this year instead of Friday or the slower pool at Brannin.
"There were a couple of swims where we were on the top of our game that worked. And there were a couple swims where we weren't on the top of our game," Perkins coach Steve Cremean said. "As fast as the state is (this year) you've got to be on the top of your game. There's no room for error and no room for adjustment."
The Perkins 400 freestyle relay (Emily Mariea, Kim Anglin, Elizabeth Gyurke, Stephanie Gyurke), which finished with the 10th-best time (3:38.06 from a 3:39.15 at districts), was an example of how a relay team turned in a good time, but also how nine other teams were that much better.
"That was one swim we were on. It just wasn't top eight," Cremean said.
The 200 freestyle relay sure was.
A pair of sophomores -- Jillian Chapman and Sadie Ahlers -- and a pair of seniors -- Emily Mariea and Stephanie Gyurke -- own the No. 2 time, a 1:38.03 in the event. Gates Mills Hawken set a new state record with a 1:36.34.
"That was our best time from a year ago. We're positioned really well for the finals," Chapman said.
Chapman also is in the championship heat of the 50 freestyle, as her 24.31 put her in the eighth and final spot. "It's a relief knowing that I made it back to the finals," Chapman said. "Hopefully I'll have a better time than in the prelims."
Port Clinton's 400 freestyle relay (Cheyenne Meek, Stewart, Ashley Zoeller, Allie Reynolds) secured a medal finish with a 3:36.93, good for the sixth-best time.
"I felt we had a better meet on the girls side than the boys side," Port Clinton coach Danny Diaz said. "Some kids are coming back and swimming (today), and that's all you can ask at the state meet."
Stewart turned in splits of 27.57, 33.12, 35.36, and 30.46, and was faster in the second half of the race than any other swimmer she'll see today.
But it isn't enough to have Diaz celebrating anything this early.
"We'll have to wait an see. The IM is four specialty strokes," he said. "But MacKenzie tends to excel under pressure. We'll see what (today) brings."

Have you ever wondered how to bathe a turtle? A turtle should not be immersed in a bath as a furry pet might be but you can "bath brush" your turtle a little cleaner, perhaps to remove algal growth or any other particles, dirt etc. from its shell.
1Prepare a container with lukewarm water. Find an old toothbrush that you no longer need. A top of an electric toothbrush would be great.Ad
2Remove the turtle from its habitat and locate the dirty area of the shell.
3Dip the toothbrush into the lukewarm water.
4Gently scrub the area needing cleaning with the old toothbrush. Use your hand to wet the shell as needed, and scrub the shell gently. Make sure to get into the crevices to remove any algae. If your turtle is shedding its scutes, do not force the top layer of the scutes apart from the shell. Instead, allow these to fall off naturally.
5Once you have removed most of the algae, gently rinse the turtle off and place it back into its warm habitat.
6Admire your clean turtle.Ad

- Make sure you don't get the toothbrush on the turtles skin!
- Keep fresh water available at all times for your turtle. It can keep itself clean most of the time.
- When cleaning the shell with the soft brush, hold the turtle by the back of the shell with one hand and scrub gently with the other. In larger turtles, place the turtle in a container to restrict movement, with some shallow warm water.
- Only use water; do not introduce any soap or detergent to your turtle's shell.
- Due to the danger of salmonella poisoning, please do not wash your turtle in a kitchen or bathroom sink. Any container you will use for food or bathing yourself should not be used to clean the turtle.
