Softball Beats Houston Twice Saturday
April 17, 2010
Box Score | Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
TULSA, Okla. - Kalynn Schrock earned two relief wins and Caitlin Everett went 4-for-8 with four RBI to lead The University of Tulsa softball team to a doubleheader sweep over Houston, 8-4, and, 7-1, Saturday afternoon at the Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex.
The Golden Hurricane improves to 24-17 overall and 8-3 in Conference USA play, while Houston falls to 23-21 overall and 9-8 in C-USA play. The series concludes with a single game Sunday at noon. Live audio/video will be available on Hurricane Vision and live stats will be available on www.TulsaHurricane.com.
With the two wins, Tulsa (8-3) moved into a first-place tie with East Carolina (8-3) in the Conference USA standings.
Schrock (9-5) came on in both games and shut down the Cougar lineup. She pitched a total of 8.2 shutout innings, allowing just five hits, three walks, and she struck out eight batters. Shrock is first TU pitcher to earn two wins in the same day since May 7, 2005, when Maren Genow got two wins against Louisiana Tech.
Shortstop Samantha Cobb hit her third grand slam of the season in game one and totaled five RBI on the day. First baseman Vanessa Vice got four hits in the two games, scored three times and had a pair of RBI.
"These are two very important wins," Tulsa head coach John Bargfeldt said. "I told the team, I don't think I've ever seen a team rise from the dead like they did in that first game. It just seemed like we couldn't get anything going - offensively, pitching, defense - it just seemed like everything was going against us. I was really impressed in them to come back and get that win, and then followed it up with a good solid effort in that second game."
The Golden Hurricane was held scoreless for four innings, trailing 4-0, and only had three base runners on walks and a hit batter. To that point, TU had not scored a run on Houston in 20 innings, dating to the third game of the series in 2008, played in Tulsa. From the fifth inning of game one through the end of game two, TU scored 15 runs in 10 innings.
However, Tulsa exploded for four runs in each of the next two innings and held the Cougars scoreless to take home the win.
Catcher Christian Timmons got the fifth inning started with a bunt single and left fielder Mickey LaValley followed with a single to second base. Designated player Skylar Swanson reached on a fielding error, and Timmons scored from second on the play. Everett then doubled to left center, driving home LaValley and Swanson. Vice singled up the middle to score Everett for the tying run.
The Hurricane continued where it left off in the sixth inning, with Chapman and Swanson hitting back-to-back singles. Right fielder Lauren Lindsay drew an intentional walk to load the bases, and bring up Cobb. Cobb promptly hit her third grand slam of the season, a blast over the left center field fence.
Houston hit a three-run home run in the first inning and scored on an RBI double in the third inning. TU starter Jackie Lawrence pitched the first three innings, and gave way to Schrock to begin the fourth.
Schrock proceeded to dominate the Cougars for the next four innings, allowing just one hit and two walks, and striking out four batters.
"Kalynn saved us today," said Bargfeldt. "She came in when our other two pitchers were having difficulty and just were not on their game like they have been lately, and she just came in with two outstanding efforts. She kept us close and kept attacking hitters, and got two big wins for us."
Tulsa 7, Houston 1
Tulsa scored seven runs on eight hits, and Houston scored one run on five hits, as the Golden Hurricane took game two, 7-1.
Caitlin Everett went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs, and Vanessa Vice went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Schrock pitched 4.2 innings in relief, allowing four hits and one walk, and struck out four batters to earn the win.
Once again, it took Tulsa a couple of innings to get to Houston' pitcher, but the Golden Hurricane scored in each of the last four innings, beginning with a run in the third to tie the game.
The game started as a pitcher's duel through three innings, with the score knotted at 1-1. Houston got on the board first with a run in the top of the third.
UH got a runner on with an error, and TU starter Jordan Kinard exited the game with a 1-0 count on the batter and one out. The Houston batter singled to score an unearned run that was charged to Kinard. Schrock then forced a fielder's choice and a walk to load the bases. The runner on first stole second and Christian Timmons threw down, but Samantha Cobb cut off the ball and zinged it back down to Timmons in time to tag out the runner attempting to steal home. A ground out ended the inning.
The Golden Hurricane answered in the bottom of the second, and Everett began with a one-out single to left. She then stole second, and while attempting to run to third when the catcher's throw went into center field, bumped into the shortstop. She was awarded third base for interference. Lauren Lindsay then grounded into a fielder's choice, allowing Everett to score from third.
TU scored two more runs in the fourth inning on a two-run double by Everett, scoring Mickey LaValley and Skylar Swanson, who had both walked, giving Tulsa a 3-1 lead.
The Hurricane added one more run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Timmons, which scored Vice, who had single to left center.
Tulsa added its final three runs in the sixth with four hits in the inning. Everett reached on a bunt single with one out, and Cobb followed with a two-out single to center field. Vice then tripled down the left field line past the diving left fielder, and the ball rolled to the fence, allowing Everett and Cobb to score. Cassidy Bowen hit a single to left, driving home Vice for TU's seventh run of the game.
The third inning was the only major threat the Cougars mounted for the rest of the game, as Schrock and the Hurricane defense did not allow a runner past second base the rest of the way.
Tickets for all Tulsa softball home games are $6 for adults and $4 for youth. Tickets can be purchased at the TU Athletics Ticket Office, by calling 631-GoTU (4688), or at the gate.

The DCnU is an interesting place. So much of it has erased that which I liked and that which I relied on, as a reader of DC Comics, such as the existence of Perez's Teen Titans, the legacy of the Justice Society, the long-standing romance of Green Arrow and Black Canary, and even the domestic life of Superman and Lois Lane.
And yet, at the same time, there is such little change in both the Batman and Green Lantern universes that I can remain in their little corner of the DCnU and pretend that nothing has happened. It is rather curious.
Scott Snyder's Batman has definitely been getting the most internet acclaim. Everyone really likes Snyder's take on Batman and Bruce Wayne. Of all of the new villains that have been created for the DCnU1, I think the Council of Owls has the most staying power. It is a very interesting addition to the Batman mythos, and if it is incorporated, I definitely can see it being a staple of Batman's universe for years to come.
I almost feel as if I have said all of my platitudes for this title, and just want to read and enjoy rather than critically review. But someone should review this thing, so why not me.
Published By: DC Comics
Writer: Scott Snyder
Pencils: Greg Capullo
Cover Price: $2.99
Release Date: 12/21/2011
Review: Digital Copy (from Comixology)
In the previous issue, Batman was investigating the Court of Owls, who was trying to kill Bruce Wayne. The Court has connections to Gotham City's past, and including a connection to Allan Wayne, who died by falling in a manhole cover. Batman investigates buildings that have a secret 13th floor. While investigating the newest one, the Talon causes the floor to explode.
Answer: Joe Chill is still the murderer of Batman's parents in the DCnU
Answer: Bruce does not believe in the existence of the Council of Owls because he has investigated it both as a child and as an adult, and found no traces of its existence.
Answer: Alan Wayne, Bruce's great-grandfather, was killed by being stabbed to death
This was very good. I mean, everyone has said already that this series is really good. But, let's put a different spin on it for just a second: It is tough to introduce a new character into any long-running comic book mythos that actually sticks beyond a current creative team. Even more so for a mythos like Batman who has the best rogues gallery ever. I think Snyder is creating some very powerful additions to Batman and Gotham City that I have not felt since the Hush storyline.
I am not sure if this is one of the GREATEST Bruce Wayne illustrations of all time, or if this is really just Greg Capullo amusing himself. So, here is a taped and bruised up Bruce Wayne holding onto the skull of his great-grandfather. Now, admittedly Bruce is not holding the skull of anyone he has ever met, but it still is family. And yet, Bruce has casually picked up the skull as if it was the skull of any other human being, to introduce to Dick. It is so clinical and detached and purpose-driven, that it is just amazing.
OR, it is that Greg Capullo was working late one night, finishing up his art, having a drink and one of his buddies dared him to give Batman the Hamlet pose2 with his great-grandfather's skull.
I am very mixed on the idea of Bruce Wayne as a child, investigating the Court of Owls, and being reasonably successful at it. It is a very cool idea, but it suggests that Bruce was exceptional before the murder of his parents. For the most part, this flies in the face of the rest of the Batman mythos. The idea has always been that Bruce was a normal man3, and it was the tragedy that made him extraordinary. I don't mind it, but I wouldn't want Snyder or anyone else to go down this road.4
I hope that the Council of Owls is not behind the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, or at least not directly connected with it. This is just a preference, on my part. I don't think it would ruin Batman, or affect the perception. And in some ways, it would make the new adversary stronger going forward, and not just a writer creation that gets discarded when someone new takes over. But, the simple idea that Batman's endless struggle against crime is based on a lone criminal who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne
I said it before, but I really appreciate that Snyder is making a real connection between Bruce and Dick. They are able to have a connection, as adults, to each other that is different than that of Tim or Damien. They have evolved into colleagues, and not just sensei and student. Bruce is still the alpha of the relationship, but to make the case that their relationship is different than that of the other Robins is nice.5
The imagery of Gordon standing next to the Bat Signal, waiting for Batman, who is watching from another rooftop, was very powerful, but unwarranted in some way. Or more specifically, the story has not suggested that Bruce is being affected by this case more than any other case. So why is he ignoring Gordon's Bat Signal? It was rather strange. Yes, the case has gotten personal, but the words do not match the art in this particular case.
I was very confused by the scene where The Talon attacks Bruce. Was Bruce knocked out and then woke up in the Labyrinth, or did he break through the wall and fall into the specific spot in Labyrinth?
I am curious about the Labyrinth cliff-hanger for next month. My guess is that Batman will have to get through the maze without his utility belt to survive and gain some sort of advantage of the Court of Owls. This story is an old genre-fiction staple, but I haven't seen it used recently. Maybe it is retro enough to be cool again, and not cliché.
Extremely well done. I think Batman is certainly the traditional superhero comic that I most look forward to reading each month. Scott Snyder is able to both combine the traditional Batman mythology with a very new story. And I certainly appreciate that he doesn't need any tricks to draw you in (sex, violence, shocking cliffhangers, etc.). It's just a very well done story-arc that I hope goes on for a while.

Wine pairings: Two grape gurus take our questions
Grape insight from the guys at Cucina Urbana and Island Prime-C Level
A: I am a big fan of Spanish wines. The wines of Jumilla, Priorat and Bierzo are some up and coming standouts. In France, be on the look out for the wines in the South of France from the region of Maury...beautiful Grenache! But what I am most excited about is to see what happening in Chile's Elqui region in the north. It has the soil compositions of Priorat and the high elevation Syrahs have the structure of Côte-Rôtie
Q: Why did you pursue wine as a career?
A: Originally, the restaurant business allowed me to have the time to travel. As I traveled throughout the world, I learned more and more about wine. The decision to continue on this path was very simple. I like wine, I get to taste wine and I get to share wine...see, simple.
Q: No. 1 rule you apply when pairing wines with food?
A: Watch your alcohol levels, as higher alcohol wines can become hotter with spicy foods and can over power mild foods. Save the wines with higher alcohol for the cocktail hour!

If planets are orbiting other stars in our Galaxy, they could make their presence known by distorting, or 'microlensing', the light from more distant stars, say two astronomers in the US.
Astronomers strongly suspect that many other stars have planets, but they cannot be sure. A planet emits no light of its own, and so would be too difficult to see directly around another star. To detect planets, astronomers have been reduced to looking for the tiny perturbations that planets are expected to cause in the motions of the stars they orbit.
Now there may be a better way. Shude Mao and Bohdan Paczynski of Princeton University in New Jersey say that if a star with a planet the size of Jupiter passes in front of a more distant star, the combined gravity of the star and planet will distort the distant star's light in a characteristic way.
The key ...

Saw this on Reddit.
14 thoughts on "The American People Have Spoken"
The cartoonist forgot: "Screw me 'For my convenience.'"
The entire cartoon is nothing but a straw man argument. Dumb.
Plutocrats? You mean like the Hollywood elite supporting Obama?
Here's a sentence in Wikipedia's definition of "Plutocracy:" In the political jargon and propaganda of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and the Communist International, western democratic states were referred to as "plutocracies", with the implication being that a small number of extremely wealthy individuals were controlling the countries and holding them in ransom.
Looks like you're in good company, Wil.
I would normally advocate voting the bums out of office – whoever you think the bums are But I've developed the opinion that our elected officials no longer listen to their constituents anymore.
No. By Plutocrats, I mean ultrarich billionaires like the Koch brothers using Citizen's United to install their preferred candidates into government and they can pass the deregulating, middle-class crushing agenda they want, which is directly counter to what actual Americans want. There's a good reason this congress has the lowest approval rating in history; they do what they're told to do by their wealthy owners, instead of listening to their constituents.
Unfortunately no government is immune from corruption… not even democratic ones. Some just take a lot longer than others.
Yes. That. Complete agreeance, and it makes me sad. I need to focus my attention on something cool like your homebrewing hobby to keep me from being completely depressed by what is happening to our country.
It's not your country, meatbag. Or did I miss the "Inc." after your name?
Agreed. Pitiful state, isn't it?
No, I'll tell you what's dumb: Constructing a self-serving counter-argument atop a cherry-picked argument that was itself self-serving in its original context (as indicated by the heading "As propaganda term" that the part you quoted falls under). If that's all you've got, you would get torn to shreds in any rational fact-based debate. Fortunately for you, we no longer have those in this country and opt instead for paid op-eds and emotional screaming matches. Name-calling fits perfectly within this framework, so congratulations, I guess, for doing that part right.
Now if you want to talk facts, ALL of our politicians are taking full advantage of Citizen's United. That goes for Obama, that goes for Romney, it goes for whoever represents Montana's first district, and it goes for the junior Senator from Rhode Island — all of them are after big corporate dollars. The only thing they won't do for that money is risk alienating their constituents — after all, the whole point is to get elected. Don't believe me? Ask the politicians themselves. Congresspeople from both sides of the aisle have been telling this to any media outlet that will listen for months now.
Of course, alienating constituents requires that the constituents actually pay attention, and the messages received by the constituents on a daily basis are crafted by organizations backed by corporate dollars.
How is this not plutocracy?
The problems we're facing go beyond that one ruling. Organizations working for ordinary people have been under attack for decades.
Citizens United wouldn't have been so bad if unions, social services, and other important institutions weren't being systematically dismantled by governments at all levels.
Wil – thanks for reposting this cartoon; thanks for keeping up with the current political situation; and, thank you for reaching out with a reasoned argument to people who read your blog. As an educator, I'd like to add that one of the "other important institutions" (thank you, Oar is Peace) that's been systematically attacked AND over-burdened is the higher educational system in CA. Teachers matter – the good ones teach people how to reason and think and avoid emotional screaming matches. Local school boards are important.
Keep writing, Wil. Your voice is needed.
Yay! The internet arrives here!
Concerned citizen: "The USA is in a sorry state!"
Internet troll: "Obama is ruining the USA, and if you don't agree you must be a Nazi!!!!"
Dear Internet Trolls:
Rome did not fall in a day, nor can you lay all the blame of any country's current economic state on its current leadership. It takes – DECADES – many failed leaderships, to put a country as strong as the United States into a position so critical. Likewise, to reverse the trend it will take – DECADES – and ALL the LEADERS making very informed and intelligent decisions.
Unfortunately, this is so hard to do, since too many people would rather blame others for the situation, instead of taking responsibility and fixing it, that there are very few examples in history where things do in fact get better after getting this bad.
Or to put in another way: red states aren't going to solve it, nor are blue states – this can only be solved by a purple country.
Best Wishes,
Alex Pope
(a concerned citizen of a different colour)
This is sadly way too true, the only thing missing is the politicians distracting the masses with social issues like gay marriage and abortion, which are apparently the only two important issues to some people.
I recommend watching the documentary "Century of the self" if you have the time. You can find it on Google video and Youtube. It helps you understand how conditions like those depicted in the cartoon can exist. Don't watch it if your depressed though as it really brings you down.

Lucky Ace PokerRead Full Lucky Ace Poker Review
Quick Overview
Lucky Ace Poker is a small-but-expanding site that offers very soft games and creative promotions. Built using the same software that powers 888poker, Lucky Ace Poker offers a surprisingly great client that is stylish, reliable and secure. Lucky Ace Poker launched in 2008 but benefits from using an established network with a loyalty program, VIP status and excellent software features.
Lucky Ace also spreads a variety of games including Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and Seven-Card as well as several of the Hi-Lo variants. The site can't compete with some of the bigger sites in terms of traffic and prizepools but it doesn't need to as it can attract recreational players with the promise of softer games and value-packed freeroll tournaments.
Top 5 Things to Consider When Looking for the Best Online Poker Site
Signing up for an online poker site can be a bit intimidating at first, but it's really very simple.
Here are a few important factors you might want to consider when you're ready to make your first deposit.
1. Your Sign-Up Bonus
Every online poker site will give you some soft of reward, or "poker bonus" for opening an account and making a deposit.
The offers can vary a great deal, though, so make sure you pick the one that suits you best.
For instance, some rooms will offer a big sign-up bonus that takes a lot of time to unlock. Some poker sites will give you a small but immediate bonus.
Others will give you various benefits including tickets into tournaments and free poker tournaments for cash.
We suggest comparing a few poker sites before deciding on the bonus for you.
2. The Software
Poker software has improved immensely over the last few years so there's really no reason to play on a slow, boring or downright glitchy site.
Even the lesser-known online poker sites have fantastic software now. But it's still important you feel confident using the game client - especially considering you're going to be logging likely thousands of hands on the site.
Most poker sites also have play-money versions, so it might be worth your while to download the software and play around a bit before you put money into your online account.
3. Security
You absolutely need to make sure you're playing on a safe site before you put your hard-earned cash on the line.
Fortunately, the best online poker sites are highly monitored and have to go through countless audits by gaming organizations these days.
Every aspect of the poker site is analyzed including its random number generator and encryption process. And every poker room reviewed and listed by PokerListings has received certification from an authorized online gaming regulatory body.
4. The Competition
Not every site has thousands of players online during every hour of the day, but there are some distinct advantages to playing on a smaller poker site.
Some of the sites have notoriously bad players and it's worth putting up with fewer players to be surrounded mostly by terrible ones.
Smaller poker sites also tend to do more aggressive marketing and will either give you a better bonus or lucrative rewards as you play more hands. It's worth remembering that certain sites are known for particular games.
For instance PokerStars is widely regarded as the best online poker tournament site in the world, but there are arguably better cash-game sites.
5. Deposit Options
While not illegal, online poker has always fallen into a gray area in the U.S. and finding a proper payment processor can be a challenge at first.
Pay special attention to the particular online poker deposit options offered by each site. These change on a regular basis and it's worth looking into what the most recent options are.
As a special note, quite often basic credit cards will work although it sometimes takes more than one try.

So far legal online poker is only available in three states - Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada - but more including Pennsylvania and California are expected soon along with intra-state compacts to share player pools. PokerStars, for example, is expected to return to New Jersey and is working on agreements with several California tribes.
American players can still play only poker at a few unlicensed sites but it is not recommended.
@Cyp3r Yes free poker is available at all of the above sites.
Netbet is the best
Can I play for free on these sites?
When will these sites be available to US players? Or can we still play on some of these with a VPN?
Full Tilt what a name for a poker room ... like if you called a car brand DUI

Country's good guy
In between raising his daughters and touring the country, Tim McGraw finds time to support victims of natural disasters
"I hate to use the term 'coming into manhood,' because I was a late bloomer, but it's sort of an account of your life in a lot of ways. And I don't mean that's literal, by any means."
"Emotional Traffic," if it's ever released (it does provide the title for McGraw's summer tour), promises to represent a departure for the singer.
"I think it's more fun, my upcoming album. Now that I've established that I've grown up a little bit, now that I have that anchor to me, now I can go have some fun," McGraw said with a laugh.
"There's some heavy things, too. I mean, I like heavy things. That's a part of who I am; it's sort of the manic-depressive in me. I lean toward the dark sometimes.
"But just as effortlessly and as quickly, I can go to the light. And I think that this album has a lot more of the light in it, and a lot more fun in it.
"The 'Emotional Traffic' album, sonically, it's just uplifting," he added. "It's one of those albums where you want to put your headphones on and it doesn't really matter what the lyrics are, the grooves are so cool."

Preliminary Injunction Hearing To Keep Murray Center Open Set for July 23rdThe State of Illinois will be barred from moving any resident out of the Murray Developmental Center in Centralia without guardian approval until at least July 23rd. That's the date Federal Court Judge Marvin Aspen has set for a hearing on the preliminary injunction to keep the state from closing Murray Center.
The judge further clarified in an order Wednesday that the Illinois Department of Human Services and Community Resource Alliance could not transfer, discharge, or send on any overnight transition visit any resident of Murray Developmental Center without the written consent of the resident's legal guardian until there is a ruling on the preliminary injunction. The judge will not restrict the state from conducting any pre-transition assessments, evaluations or any other planning activities that do not involve removing a resident from Murray Center. Judge Aspen also says the order will not restrict the state from providing residents with outside medical care when necessary, following Murray's standard protocols and procedures.
The order also instructs the Murray Parents Association and Department of Human Services to exchange their evidentiary direct examination affidavits on or before July 17th. Any witness whose affidavit is submitted will have to be available for cross examination and redirect at the preliminary injunction hearing. The two sides will have to designate which opposing party's witnesses they will cross-examine on or before July 19th.
In initially granting the temporary restraining order at a May 30th court hearing, Judge Aspen found that if he didn't grant the temporary restraining order people could get hurt or injured under procedures being used by the state to close Murray Center.

αMβ2 is expressed on the surface of many leukocytes involved in the innate immune system, including monocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells. It mediates inflammation by regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration and has been implicated in several immune processes such as phagocytosis, cell-mediated cytotoxicity, chemotaxis and cellular activation. It is involved in the complement system due to its capacity to bind inactivated complement component 3b (iC3b). The ITGAM (alpha) subunit of integrin αMβ2 is directly involved in causing the adhesion and spreading of cells but cannot mediate cellular migration without the presence of the β2 (CD18) subunit.
In genomewide association studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms in ITGAM had the strongest association with systemic lupus erythematosus, with an odds ratio of 1.65 for the T allele of rs9888739 and lupus.

Oh, Labrador!
"Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the ranges – Something lost behind the ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
"Never allow God or man to go north of 53°."
- Rudyard Kipling (as quoted in 'Great Heart')
In the abstract, I can understand the appeal of an all-inclusive resort on some sunny beach, with a cool ocean breeze, and nothing to trouble the mind but whether to go for seconds at the buffet. But when it comes to deciding what I actually do with a chunk of free time, my mind goes in a different direction.
This time, it went north and east, to Labrador. Three weeks, alone, on my 2005 R1200GS.
Here is my story of this little adventure. I hope it entertains you. As in a past ride report, I did something a little different, asking people I met along the way the same two questions and recording their answers - a tool to help get me out of my own head, and to add a different dimension to the experience.
Question 1: "Tell me about something that concerns you."
Question 2: "Tell me about something that brings you joy."
Your faithful scribe

Day 1 – Friday, June 19, 2009 – Minneapolis, Minnesota to Naubinway, Michigan
I roll the bike out of the driveway, on to the familiar street, at the beginning on a long journey. Preparations complete, everything packed away, the day-to-day worries and burdens dropping away. I was grinning, of course, under my helmet. I had a good sense of my route the first day or two, but after that it faded. The days beyond were marked only by two ferries I needed to catch much further down the line.
I don't use GPS, and while I carry a compass, I didn't bring any maps. I had faith in following a general direction, and relying on the occasional, surreptitious scanning of an unpurchased map at a fueling stop. I was well within my comfort zone.
That first day was mostly about distance. A brief stop at Franconia Sculpture Park, a nearby site I've often driven by, but never taken the time to visit. This time I did, spontaneously, and met Ali Della Bitta (click link for interview), an artist installing a piece at the Park. When we met she was sweating under a warm sun, shoveling and raking piles of dirt. She graciously took time out to help me break in my interview questions. Afterwards she describes the 'sculpture' as it will be - grassy berms with jutting dark marble slabs for seating, overlooking a stage and all amid a grove of stately trees. For now, it was an open grassy field with dirt piles and a rough wooden platform. She smiled wistfully – "You have to picture it in 30 years."
After that it was back on the bike for 450 miles across Wisconsin on US-8, and then along US-2, well into Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I set up my tent at a Hog Island State Forest campground, next to Lake Michigan. The mosquitoes were out in force, so I turned in early. A loud chorus of hundreds of birds that covered a nearby island sang me to sleep.

Day 2 – Saturday, June 20 – Naubinway, Michigan to Algonquin Prov Park, Ontario
Storms and lightening moved through in the night. At one point I wake up after a loud clap of thunder and wonder if I'll feel my hair stand up on end before I get struck. The storms have passed on by morning. The air is still and there is a fog to ride through to breakfast at Big Boy in St. Ignace. Then it's up I-75 and into Ontario.
The young border guard asks me the standard questions, and I'm grinning like an idiot as I answer. "So, how long will you be traveling in Canada?" "I don't know, exactly!" The border guard's eyes narrow. "Um, a couple of weeks?" She let's me in despite my answers, and I cruise through Sault Ste Marie, following the signs that take me to the Trans-Canada Highway – east.
A couple of hundred miles further down the highway, and I find myself passing a unicyclist. I pull over to take a picture, and Philip drops down for a chat. Just graduated from high school, he's decided to spend his early summer before college unicycling across Canada. He's doing it to raise awareness of a vicious war in Uganda. (See Philip's website here.) I interview him and afterwards we chat about his plans to study engineering. "A person like you could do a lot of good in the world as an engineer," I say. "That's my plan," he replies with a warm smile.
That evening I'm staying at a fantastic hostel outside of Algonquin Provincial Park, the Wolf's Den. I sit down for dinner with five European university students, studying English for several weeks in Toronto. They're chatting about boyfriends and girlfriends, and where they'll travel next. I tell them about Philip. One of the women scrunches up her nose, "I wouldn't spend my summer doing that!"

Mmm, breakfast. I generally avoid chains, but I gave Big Boy a pass.

Day 3 – Sunday, June 21 – Algonquin Prov Park, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec
Highway 60 passes through the lower quarter of Algonquin, a park primarily for canoeists and wilderness backpackers. I take my time and see plenty of other bikers before I turn off a dirt road that leads me several miles south to a hiking trail that takes me on a four-mile loop up a hill with a great view.
Then it's back on the bike and out the east side of the park where I stop at a chip shop in Barry's Bay and meet Gordon, on vacation from Elgin, Scotland with his wife and son. He was enthused about my bike and had a warm and comfortable manner.
The afternoon heated up and I enjoyed the cool rain as I rode through an early summer thunderstorm on my way, first to Ottawa, and then on to Montreal.
A concert was taking place in the central square of Old Montreal that evening, and as I wandered around on foot after checking into a hostel I was struck by the people. I won't say that everyone in Montreal is beautiful, but there are a lot of them, and they make for great eye candy while enjoying a beer and dinner beside a cobblestoned street filled was strolling pedestrians.
Back at the hostel, and as I head to bed I meet my bunkmate. A native of the city, Christopher is staying the hostel after breaking up with his girlfriend and moving out of her apartment. "But it's a good thing," he says, shaking his head. "She's crazy." I mention being an American as my excuse for having so little French. He waves his hand dismissively and says there are many Montreal natives who speak only English. "There is a lot of racism with the English. They hate us French. We have too much soul. It's like for you in America with the blacks. You hate them because they have too much soul."

Day 4 – Monday, June 22 – Montreal to Parc du Mont Orford, Quebec
I check out of the hostel, but I'm not quite ready to leave Montreal. So, I walk around the old city in the early morning and then ride into the newer parts of the city, and take a road up into Parc du Mont Royal, overlooking the city. I air out my still wet tent in the breeze, and then repack and motor down to the Eastern Townships, a collection of rural towns popular with day-trippers from the city.
I take a stroll around Sutton, one of the picturesque little towns, where I buy a pate compagne sandwich and some locally made chocolate. I dip down and ride through the northern tier of Vermont, eat my lunch at a roadside park, and then veer back up into Canada and into the town of Magog, before heading over to Parc du Mont Orford to set up camp for the night.
It's not as easy to strike up a conversation in Quebec. While most people I speak to can converse at least tersely in English, there is an understandable reluctance. Similarly, while the signs in Ontario were almost all dual-language – in Quebec only the most vital signs are translated into English. The natural reaction of a culture surrounded on all sides, I suppose. But I continue to enjoy myself, and I find that a smile and a few French phrases go a long way to generating sufficient good will among the people I encounter.

From Parc du Mont Orford to Baie Comeau
Thanks for the kind comments so far, folks
Day 5 Tuesday, June 23 Parc du Mont Orford to Quebec City, Quebec
It had been a cloudy day, but I left the rainfly off the tent overnight anyway, and was rewarded when I woke up in the night and saw stars overhead. I get up early, pack up and work my way up to Quebec City. Like Old Montreal, it has an historic core, with winding streets, old buildings, great views, but this one is also surrounded by its old, fortified wall. My Lonely Planet guide briefly states Motorcycles are not allowed within the old city walls, but they lie, though Im guessing loud pipes might bring down the wrath.
Its the day before Quebecs national holiday, and as the evening comes on the tourists in the streets become heavily outnumbered by young people of all sorts. Theyre decked out in blue and white, sporting Quebec flag face paint, capes, temporary tattoos, and one guy with full body paint. Its reminiscent of the pre-game festivities for a big college football game, with lots of hooting and hollering and chanting. Cops wander around in packs, some sporting Quebec flags of their own. Traffic is heaviest around shops selling alcohol and as night comes on the crowd gets louder and rowdier.
Down by the water its still quiet. A harpist plays for tips while, a discrete distance away, his dog quietly bays for him next to the fence hes tied to. In an open park above, amid the revelers, a man with a ragged beard picks bottles and cans from the overflowing trash bin and patiently drains the dregs on the ground before sorting them in bags this is a goldmine for him.
My room is cheap and clean, on the edge of the walled city, just a couple of blocks from the center of the celebration; and as I go to sleep the volume of the crowd is only increasing.

Great place for lunch
And the yummy apple/goat cheese sandwich

Day 6 Wednesday, June 24 Quebec City to Tadoussac, Quebec
I wake up to morning sun and the sound of drunken singing under my window. Three young men are weaving their way down the road amidst broken bottles. Across the street an older man calmly sweeps the patch of walk and street in front of his house, stopping to chat with the neighbors. The remnant few from last nights party are spread out on the shady grass under the city walls. Asleep or nursing hangovers, they sprawl out among cans, empty 12-pack cartons and cigarette butts. Meanwhile, tourists are swarming back to reclaim the city for their own, while street sweepers clear their path.
I get my bike out of a parking garage and take off up the north side of St. Lawrence Bay, stopping for lunch and a town parade in the art-town of Baie St. Paul, and then head on toward Tadoussac. The views are tremendous, as are the crowds of motorcyclists spending their holiday tooling around in the bright sun on winding roads.
Tadoussac is reached by a short ferry ride over the wide mouth of the Saguenay River. After crossing over I pull up Maison Marjorique a cross between hippy-heaven and beach-bum-paradise. Cheap tent platforms are tucked among trees on a hill behind the hostel, while down at the main building people gather for a round of horseshoes, stilt-walking, and drinks from the bar. Meals are communal, with everyone pitching in to prepare, serve, and clean up. It reminds me of how hostels used to be, before the institutional ones started trying to act like cheap hotels.
I meet Philip Francois, a classically trained musician who tunes pianos by day to make ends meet. Hes travelling with his teenage son, and what they had meant to be a two-day visit in Tadoussac has stretched into nearly two weeks though theyll have to leave soon, Hes missing his mother, Philip whispers to me about his son. He makes a one-sided trade with me I interview him, and he gives a homemade CD of his music. I dont get listen to it until I get home, but it sounds great jazzy and sincere.

Day 7 Thursday, June 25 Tadoussac to Baie Comeau, Quebec
Im typically a late sleeper and a lazy riser; but its just a few days past the solstice, and the sun is coming up so early Im finding myself up and about by 6:30am most mornings. Ive got plenty of time to pack up my site and load up the bike before my 9am whale watching trip. A kind woman at the hostel clued me in on the tour operator with the smallest, most nimble zodiacs.
The pilot is a burly, good-natured guy, and he tells us that were at a disadvantage in the fog, but that on a calm morning like this a whales exhalation can be heard from a mile away. Sure enough, after checking some likely spots we eventually hear one, and after some darting back and forth and more listening, were soon following the path of a minke whale, as it moves through the water, rising up to give us a glance every couple of minutes, sometimes within just a few feet of the zodiac. A woman on the boat giggles constantly from pure delight, while others gasp and smile broadly each time the whale comes up. Even the pilot, who has been watching these whales for years, is still moved by the experience. I recommend it.
The ride up to Baie Comeau is three or four hours, over which the landscape changes dramatically, from high hills and dense spruce forests, to long flats and bogs. I see bare red fields with drainage ditches and tractors with what look like big vacuum attachments and large plastic bins. Peat farms?
Baie Comeau is largely a wasteland of strip development; but down close to the ferry there is a small patch of walkable development with the historic Grand Hotel. Its like my icon of a place to stay. Comfortable rooms on a second floor with rich wood paneling, while below there is a busy bar with friendly folks and a wide range of local beers on tap. I let the waitress pick a different beer for me each time mine runs dry, as I while away the evening listening to the three piece band with a stand-up bass. Its a small town, and most everyone in the bar is of a similar age, so they probably all know one another. Its fun to watch as a group enters, disperse among the crowd, and blend in with the other groups, as they in turn shift and move among one another.
Tomorrow I head north, to Labrador. Rain is in the forecast.

Most of the overclocking in ASUS motherboards is done in the "Ai Tweaker" Section of the BIOS. The first-gen core processors have locked multipliers, but unlocked base clock speeds. That is how you'll need to overclock this chip, by adjusting the base clock. You might get an extra 1x increase out of the multi due to turbo mode, but that will be it.

Sorry but this bios has no useful hidden options , there were only one or 2 and they dont relate to what you mention and have no proper use and would not be worth the risk of flashing a modded bios to get them!
The board is a 'System Integrator' version... generally intended for small system vendors. Novatech and Mesh might be the sorts of folks who would use the board.
In order to reduce problems for the integrator, the BIOS on these boards is locked up... that prevents purchasers of these system from fooling around and damaging the system or creating operation problems which ends up costing the integrator a lot of time and money setting things straight.

'Doctor Who': 'Sherlock's' Mark Gatiss writing two episodes of Season 8Add to Favorites | Doctor Who
Mark Gatiss will be returning to "Doctor Who" once again to work with his "Sherlock" co-creator Steven Moffat. Gatiss will be writing two episodes of Season 8, the first outing for new Doctor Peter Capaldi.
The news comes from the Radio Times, reporting on comments made by Gatiss during a promotional tour for BBC Worldwide. He didn't give any details about what the episodes will involve, but chances are the Doctor's home world of Gallifrey will not be the setting. "Every time you go back to Gallifrey, it starts to make the Time Lords a bit too domesticated," he says before later adding, "I don't know if I would want to do [an episode set on Gallifrey]."
It's also not clear where in the season the episodes written by Gatiss will air. "Doctor Who" Season 8 is currently filming and is expected to premiere later in the year.

Susan M. Dunn graduated from Creighton University School of Nursing with a Bachelor of Science degree in May 1978. Since then, she has devoted most of her career – 23 years – to the donation and recovery of organs and tissue for people needing transplantation. She has been passionate in her efforts to educate others about the importance of organ and tissue donation and, along the way, has helped save and improve the quality of lives for thousands of Americans.
Ms. Dunn began her work in the donation field in 1984 as donor coordinator for the American Red Cross in St. Paul, Minnesota, which operated one of the first Red Cross tissue banks in the country.
She joined Donor Alliance, an organ procurement and tissue bank serving Colorado and most of Wyoming, in 1989, becoming president and chief operating officer in 2004. As head of that organization, she has overseen a 15 percent increase in organ donors and a 28 percent increase in tissue donors. In 2006, Donor Alliance's organ conversion rate ranked third in the country.
For her efforts, Ms. Dunn has received numerous honors, including the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations' achievement and presidential awards, the National Kidney Foundation's Trustees Award, and the Colorado Kidney Foundation's Health Advancement Achievement Award.
Ms. Dunn has been generous in the giving of her time to Creighton University as well. She has served on Creighton's Denver Alumni Advisory Board and was a nursing faculty member with Creighton's Institute for Latin American Concern, which provides free health care and other service in the Dominican Republic.
The Creighton University School of Nursing is proud to bestow on Ms. Dunn its Alumni Merit Award for her undeniable contributions to alma mater and to the field of organ and tissue donations.

Jascha Polet
Jascha Polet
Department of Geological Sciences
Cal Poly Pomona
Associate Professor of Geophysics
I am Associate Professor of Geophysics at the Department of Geological Sciences. I also have a position as a Visiting Associate at the Caltech Seismological Laboratory. My main research interests are in the field of observational seismology: learning about the Earth's structure and earthquake source processes from records of ground motion.
First things first: we have just returned from our Geophysics Yellowstone Field Module (June 2014), so take a look at our pictures!
The most important (fairly) recent development in the department is our MSc program, now almost two years old. We are still accepting applications for Winter/Spring 2015, so contact me if you are interesting in talking about opportunities for an MSc project in seismology/geophysics or if you would just like to take a graduate class or two in Seismology or Shallow Subsurface Geophysics.
I teach a wide variety of undergraduate classes at Cal Poly Pomona, such as: Living in Earthquake Country, Natural Disasters, Advanced Engineering Geology, Global Geophysics, Intro to Seismology and Shallow Subsurface Geophysics. I teach Advanced Seismology and Advanced Shallow Subsurface Geophysics as part of our MSc program.
I have also organized several field based classes outside of California (and would love to take students to the volcanoes of Italy one day!). For example, in 2012 we conducted an interdisciplinary Geology/Environmental Biology field experience on the Big Island of Hawaii. We installed several seismometers and visited many sites of interest around the island. You can take a look at a slideshow of pictures or a selection of the many pictures we took when we were in Hawaii in 2011. And don't forget the photos from out field class in Yellowstone National Park this June!
Because Geophysics is a new program at Cal Poly, I have put together some information on what Geophysics is all about (with a pretty obvious bias towards my own field of seismology). I have also created a set of Geophysics student info pages with job and internship opportunities, workshops and conferences and classes I would recommend to get a strong background in Geophysics (especially if you are considering grad school). If you are interested in a project in seismology or geophysics as your senior thesis research, you can check out my research page and find suggestions for specific senior thesis topics on the student info pages.
My own education in geophysics started in the Netherlands, where I received my Master's degree in Geophysics from the University of Utrecht. I then moved to the much more seismically active (and sunnier) Los Angeles area and obtained my PhD in Geophysics from Caltech. I continued to work at the Seismological Laboratory as a researcher for several years, with the Southern California Seismic Network. Then I became a Research Scientist at the Institute of Crustal Studies at UCSB in 2004, while teaching part-time at Cal Poly. Now I look forward to pursuing my teaching and research interests here in the Geological Sciences Department for many years to come!
Welcome to my Cal Poly Pomona home page
If you have any questions about my classes, the Geology major or the MSc program at Cal Poly Pomona or if you would like to discuss possible senior thesis topics, send me an E-mail or drop by my office (8-242D):

Even gnomes love to dress up for Halloween. This year Radolf wanted to be a spooky mummy! Make your own gnome mummy to go trick or treating.
(Note: Sorry if the images are a little hard to make out. It isn't easy capturing white on white work on camera!)
Scraps of white felt
Approximately 44" x 1/4" white cotton fabric or felt
1 "little boy" people turning* - 1 11/16" x 5/8"
White embroidery floss
Craft glue
Print off a copy of the pattern.
Paint face and shoulders white. Add facial features using a felt tip pen or paint.
Cut out hat and body wrap from white felt. Glue body wrap to gnome's body making sure the bottom the wrap is even with the bottom of the body. Let dry.
Using 2 strands of white embroidery floss, blanket stitch the hat's back seam. Make sure to overlap 1/8". (We have more pictures of blanket stitches in our Fall Banner Pattern).
Glue hat to gnome straight up and down or slightly towards the back.
Cut out the 44" x 1/4" white cotton fabric or felt.
Beginning at the top of the hat, glue fabric strip to gnome in a circular manner. Overlap slightly. Occasionally cut strip and start again leaving a tail to give a tattered look. Cut strips to give a crisscross look around the face. Make sure to use plenty of glue especially each time you cut the fabric and restart wrapping.
*We get out wooden bodies from Casey's Wood Products.
Be sure to read Axel's Scary Stories by the Fire in our Hearthside Stories and Wee Folk Adventures series.

I'm not going to be at the next few InstallFests because I'm going home
for the summer. I reported at a previous installfest that no browser that
ships with Mandrake 8.2 (Galeon, Mozilla 0.98, Nautilus, Konqueror, Links,
Lynx) is compatible with sisweb. This is still true, however Mozilla 1.0
is compatible with sisweb.
I suggest downloading Texstar's Mozilla 1.0 RPMS at
8.2/ and burning them onto a CD so we can give our users a system that
they can use to do such basic things as registering for classes.
***Do not download Mozilla RPMS out of Mandrake cooker, as these are being
compiled with GCC3 now, and will not be compatible with GCC2-compiled
plugins (like the java plugin)***
The mozilla 1.0 RPMS can be found in the `Contrib` directory, and a

It is argued that image measurements should satisfy two requirements of physical plausibility: the measurements are of non-zero scale and non-zero imprecision; and two required invariances, nothing is lost by expanding the image and nothing is lost by increasing the contrast of the image. A model of measurements satisfying these constraints, based on blurring the graph of the incident luminance, is described. Within this framework, several types of filtering can be expressed: mean filtering (ordinary scale space); median filtering; and mode filtering. It is found that of these possibilities, a system based on mode filtering produces interesting results. In particular, edges-defined as discontinuities-naturally appear, and their behaviour over scale and imprecision is presented.

Why not focus on getting rid of the crackheads and prescription drug abusers? I have them all over my neighborhood, they don't work, burglarize homes all day, (cops could care less) and are all on disability. They walk to PathMark for their fix, curse and threaten home owners, destroy cars. Instead of worrying about a useless wheel that will rust in few years, worry about the people who reside here.No visitors will stay here, they will see all the drug dealers lurking and go right back to NYC where it's safe.
I sound bitter because I have three drug dealers on my block living in illegal conversions, they are well loved from the abusive prescription drug users. Hey, the druggies will support the wheel, they can deal in that half hour ride and enjoy the view while they are "FLYING HIGH". Yeah, SI you came real far from the Dolphin statue at South Beach.

As of Friday, December 2, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
The local arts community is expected to gather in Henry County this weekend, to add a creative flair to the city –– holiday style.
The 18th annual Christmas With the Arts will be presented, Sunday, at 3 p.m., at the Henry County Performing Arts Center, 37 Lemon St., in McDonough.
"It's a celebration of the arts in the county, with music, dance and theater," said Lynna Schmidt, president of the Henry Arts Alliance, who is coordinating the occasion. "It's a good way to promote the arts, because it gives the community a chance to see the arts in its different forms, whether it be dance, singing, theater or visual arts."
Tickets are $5 each, and are available at Moye's Pharmacy locations.
Among the scheduled performers for the Yuletide event are local singer, Katie Lawhorne, the Henry Players, and several local choirs. Christmas With the Arts will also feature a juried art show, with participants from the Visual artists Collective and the McDonough Arts organization.
Jeanne Palpant, director of the Upstage Dance Center on Price Quarters Road, in McDonough, will lead students in her adult tap and ballet classes, for performances at Christmas With the Arts. Palpant said participants in her school have taken part in the holiday event for the last 10 years.
"It's an awesome opportunity to be involved in a community Christmas program, where arts organizations from all over the county come in and perform," said Palpant. "Some have tap-danced since they were children," she said. "Others are beginners. They love the opportunity to perform, at the Henry County Performing Arts Center."

Hey everyone. This is a piece I have been working on for a while. I took a decent enough photo of it this afternoon and so here it is. Its oil on un-stretched canvas which was a pretty tough brief for me. Its about 12 by 8″. I will get it framed up soon hopefully.
There is some design work for it my blog.
I will be doing more with these characters and developing the style a bit more too. I am currently fleshing out the early stages of a graphic novel based on the Psy-Chics but i have a crazy amount on my plate right now.
The standard on GA has been so high lately that I almost did not post this. Keep rockin guys!
PS the idea for the Psy-chics came from a pub sign i cycled past on the way to work where they were having a psychic night and had hyphenated the word for some unknown reason.
