The Darwin Medal, the most prestigious award given by the International Society for Reef Studies, is presented every four years at the International Coral Reef Symposium. It is awarded to a senior ISRS member who is recognized worldwide for major contributions throughout her/his career.
Notes for nominations
All nominations should be forwarded to the ISRS Council. Candidates will be judged primarily on their scientific excellence though their service to coral reef research and its dissemination will be taken into account. Darwin medalists are invited to give a plenary address reviewing their field (the Darwin Lecture) and also submit an account of the address in the journal Coral Reefs.
- All nominators should ensure that their nominees are current members of the International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS). Enquiries to this end can be made via Rupert Ormond [email@example.com] who holds an up-to-date list of current members. Non-members of ISRS cannot be considered for the award.
- All nominators should approach their proposed candidates before nomination to ensure that they are prepared to stand.
- It is recommended that nominators request an up-to-date curriculum vitae and statement from their candidate on what he/she believes that they have accomplished before writing the supporting statement which should be a comprehensive assessment of their scientific career, including a synthesis of their publication record.

Jeremy Jackson – 2012 (12th International Coral Reef Symposium, Cairns)
Professor Jeremy Jackson is a world leader in the science of conservation of coral reefs and coastal marine ecosystems. Jeremy's latest research has focussed on the investigation of human historical impacts on marine ecosystems. His paper entitled "Historical Overfishing and the Recent Collapse of Coastal Ecosystems" has been cited more than 2000 times in the scientific literature, and has been the subject of hundreds of media accounts in major print media, radio, and television. He is the author of more than 150 publications and seven books. He has also pioneered long term observations and experiments to assess the comparative importance of larval recruitment, competition for space and food, predation, and environmental perturbations as determinants of reef community development and succession.
Terry Hughes – 2008 (11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Ft Lauderdale)
Professor Terry Hughes is one of today's most prominent coral reef scientists, reflected in his award of the ISRS 2008 Darwin Medal. Terry's impressive publication record, his seminal contributions to coral reef ecology which have become classics in the field, his outstanding ability to obtain impressive national and international competitive research funding and direct large-scale research programmes, his collaboration with colleagues, both nationally and overseas, his pioneering innovative approaches to assessing coral reef resilience and scientifically underpinning the management of coral reefs, his admirable teaching career, during which he trained and supervised a large number of post-doctoral students, his tireless extracurricular activities to increase public and government awareness world-wide of the global problem of the acute degradation of coral reefs and the urgent need to conserve their biodiversity, all point to his remarkable international scientific leadership in the field of coral reefs. As Advisory, Topic and Managing Editor of Coral Reefs for ten years, he also contributed hugely to the success of the journal, for which he was presented with an Exceptional Service Award in 2000 by ISRS.
J. E. N. (Charlie) Veron – 2004 (10th International Coral Reef Symposium, Okinawa)
Dr. J. E. N. (Charlie) Veron's contributions to coral reef studies have been considerable. For decades, shelves from the world's mightiest universities and museums to the smallest out of the way field stations have bowed under the weight of his works. The weightiest of these is the three volume book Corals of the World (2000), a production that is not only an invaluable scientific treatise and a practical identification guide, but also a work of art, and a compelling conservation statement delivered at a time of dire need for coral reefs under pressure worldwide. The companion CD-ROM Coral ID (2001) puts species level coral identification in the hands of the field researcher, removing one of the most daunting barriers to ecological studies.
Charlie Veron has been working on reef corals for 35 years, and has studied taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, palaeontology, ecology and evolutionary theory of corals. His most significant achievements include discovery of 21% of all coral species, publications of descriptions, maps and photographs of all coral species in the world, and linking taxonomy and molecular science through evolutionary theory. Much of Veron's unflagging hard work is motivated by his deep concern over human-induced deterioration of reefs. For much of his working life – especially in recent years – he has been deeply involved in planning activities of international, government, and non-government conservation organisations.
Yossi Loya – 2000 (9th International Coral Reef Symposium, Bali)
Professor Yossi Loya has made many fundamental contributions to reef science. His early work on the community structure and species diversity of Red Sea reefs formed the foundation for many modern reef studies. In particular, the line-transect methodology he adopted has been widely used worldwide. He also pioneered investigations of reef-community dynamics through the exhaustive study of life-history strategies of important reef-building species, highlighting the contrasting reproductive strategies of Red Sea corals with those from the Great Barrier Reef.
His studies on the effects of chronic oil pollution demonstrated the potentially damaging influence of oil for the first time, while sclerochronology of contemporary and fossil Red Sea corals elegantly identified the previous climatology of the Sinai Desert. More recently he, and his research group, have made important contributions to bioerosion studies of coral reefs, to intra-colonial transport of carbon and its regulation as well as to interactions between elevated sea temperature and bacterial disease in the Mediterranean coral Oculina patogonica.
Ian G. MacIntyre – 1996 (8th International Coral Reef Symposium, Panama)
Dr. Ian G. MacIntyre is the third recipient of the Charles Darwin Medal. His scientific contributions are diverse and have resulted in new and important understanding in the areas of submarine cementation, sea level history, bioerosion, diagenesis of reef carbonates, sclerochronology, coral growth in relation to water motion and irradiance fields, skeletal diagenesis in calcareous algae, and the formation of stromatolites, mangrove peat deposits, and algal ridges.
After eight years of experience in exploration geology, he earned a Ph.D. in geology at McGill University, Montreal, Canada in 1967. His doctoral research focused on the growth history of submerged coral reefs of the west coast of Barbados, West Indies. This line of research, including studies of the low temperature tolerances of living reef-building corals, was extended to the continental margin of the southeastern United States while Ian was a member of the research staff at the Duke University Marine Laboratory from 1967 to 1970. Dr. MacIntyre moved to the Smithsonian Institution in 1970 where he is currently a Division Supervisor in Sedimentology, in the Department of Paleobiology. He was one of the first to recognize the key role of submarine lithification in coral reefs. He also pioneered a new approach in the 1970s to reveal the internal structure of coral reefs through the use of diver-operated hydraulic drill. This new direction sparked similar studies of Holocene reef growth worldwide.
Besides such various direct contributions to reef research, Dr. MacIntyre has also greatly facilitated advances in reef science as president of ISRS (1983-1986), Geological Editor of Coral Reefs, leader of field trips for the 1977 and 1996 International Coral Reef Symposia, and most recently as Editor of the Atoll Research Bulletin. It is altogether fitting that Ian MacIntyre receive the Charles Darwin Medal in recognition of his outstanding contributions to reef science and exemplary service to ISRS.
Peter W. Glynn – 1992 (7th International Coral Reef Symposium, Guam)
Dr. Peter W. Glynn has had a distinguished scientific career, making many significant contributions to the ecology of coral reefs. His first work on coral reefs was in Puerto Rico where he developed a budget of plankton uptake (consumption) by coral reef communities at La Parguera. Later achievements included the discovery of well-developed coral reefs in the eastern Pacific and their subsequent ecological study; establishing the ecological significance of crustacean symbionts which defend pocilloporid corals from Acanthaster attack, and being the first scientist to relate coral bleaching and mortality with elevated sea temperatures. His publications in the latter field have been extensive and include numerous reviews, papers documenting empirical findings and a book entitled "Global Ecological Consequences of the 1982-83 El-Nino Southern Oscillation," which was published by Elsevier. Dr. Glynn is probably the only reef scientist to have received the "Best Paper Award" for papers published in Coral Reefs on two occasions.
David Stoddart – 1988 (Inaugural recipient)
Dr. David Stoddart was the first person to be awarded the Darwin medal by ISRS. He was the key energizer of the international coral reef symposia, a founding member and initiator of the ISRS, its first President, and subsequently coordinating editor of Coral Reefs.
Dr. Stoddart has made significant contributions in all the major reef provinces of the world, describing reef environments both in the context of twentieth century developments in geological and ecological thought and through re-evaluation of historical descriptions of reefs. His work has been characterized by careful field observations and by an ability to consider the interplay of the different time and spaial scales of controlling processes, including an appreciation of environmental variability and the role of extreme events. He has made major contributions to the understanding of sea level dynamics on Pleistocene, Holocene, and historical time scales; to ocean basin biogeography; to coral island floristics and ecology; and to the history of coral reef science. He has also made notable contributions to coral conservation, most particularly in the saving of Aldabra Atoll for science for which he received the OBE from HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1979.

National Short Story Day was on the shortest day of the year: 21st December. I was trapped on a coach between London and Oxford. It was 3.30pm - already twilight, and besides the world was about to end. So I wrote this very short short story & put it on Twitter before I reached my stop...
One day someone moved the day to where the night had been.
The first thing lost was edges. Without dusk or dawn days had no heft. The sun never crossed the yardarm; clocking off became a mere matter of time.
No one liked how the lights on nightclubs didn't show. They lost their appetite for thrills. A dog was always a dog, a wolf - a wolf, but suddenly all cats were plainly different.
Horses were no longer dark, nor strangers - but nor was anything else. Uncertain of uncertainty, no one whistled or danced any more.
Nothing glowed, not even at 3am. At dawn, nothing faded. No one hid: there was so little to hide. Sunflowers didn't know where to look.
People saw all their lovers' flaws. Marriages failed: others flourished. Beds were draped with cloths of heaven, like parrot cages. But even through curtains, morning waking could no longer be gentle.
Twilight clubs convened on cloudy days. If you half closed your eyes, they said, you could almost feel the day switch. Until…
One night someone invented darkbulbs. Soon on sale in every corner shop, only they created the ambiance necessary for love.
Happy Christmas/Holidays/whatever - see you in the New Year!

IT'S the exception that proves the rule. A massive genetics study involving over 21,000 people has revealed the best evidence yet that a single gene can raise IQ - but the effect is so small that it leaves intact the idea that variations in intelligence depend on the effects of hundreds of genes.
There is little dispute that genetics accounts for a large amount of the variation in people's intelligence, but studies have consistently failed to find any single genes that have a substantial impact.
That has now changed, following a brain study on an unprecedented scale designed to probe the links between genetics and some brain diseases
"It seems like the biggest single-gene impact we know of that affects IQ. ...

IceJacks sweep New Mexico
The Northern Arizona University (NAU) Division III IceJacks played their final home games of the season on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 when they welcomed the University of New Mexico (UNM) Lobos to the Jay Lively Activity Center.
NAU blew out UNM on Feb. 1 9–2, but UNM bounced back from the loss for a much closer second game. Despite the closer competition, the result turned out the same and NAU went on to win 6–2.
For the Feb. 2 matchup, UNM carried the momentum through the first half of the first period. UNM was inches away from scoring, but a great defensive play cleared the loose puck out of the crease.
NAU took the puck back the other way and with two quick goals, stole momentum away. Every time UNM looked to generate some momentum, the Ice Jacks responded with goals.
NAU forward Kirby Carlson said he doesn't want all the credit. He credits his success this past weekend to good chemistry with his linemates.
"We've been playing really well in practice," Carlson said.
Special teams were a strength again for the Ice Jacks. In the fall semester, the IceJacks power play worked poorly but the changes by head coach Kris Walsh have helped get the puck the back of the net.
"We changed the full system," Walsh said. "We're creating more opportunities due to different positioning, that's been a huge improvement."
UNM's troubles started before the puck even dropped on Feb. 1. Starting goalie Andrew Blair showed up to the rink late, and the car he was driving contained six players' skates. UNM ended up having to start the game with their backup goalie and only seven players. The rest of the team eventually got their skates, but the Ice Jacks would not be stopped.
Carlson batted the UNM breakout pass out of midair, ripped a slap shot and beat backup UNM goalie Dakota Dyth under the glove to start the scoring.
Carlson's linemates also had great games. Benoit Cousineau recorded a hat trick for the second straight game, while Tyler Tritschler had five assists.
"They're just great players," Cousineau said of Carlson and Tritschler. "They work hard all the time, the keep me happy, I keep them happy, [we're] just having fun."
The IceJacks will face the Arizona State Sun Devils on Feb. 8 and 9 in Tempe. This will be the fourth series this season between the two teams. Every series up to this point has been split between the two.

Lenovo IdeaPad Z360-091237U
SpecificationsNotebook: Lenovo IdeaPad Z360-091237U (Ideapad Z360 Series)
Processor: Intel Core i5 480M
Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD

Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Z360-091237U
Source: Comp Reviews
Lenovo's IdeaPad Z360 certainly won't be winning any style awards but it does offer some very strong performance. This is achieved by sacrificing size and instead of using traditional laptops components having a Core i5 processor and a DVD burner. The downside is that all this performance means that it won't be able to run for as long as the competition.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 03/03/2011
Rating: Total score: 60%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
480M: The Core i5-480M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.66-2.9 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Lenovo: Lenovo Group Limited is China's largest and the world's fourth largest personal computer manufacturer. Lenovo produces desktops, laptops, servers, handheld computers, imaging equipment, and mobile phone handsets. Lenovo also provides information technology integration and support services, and its QDI unit offers contract manufacturing. Its executive headquarters are located in China and USA. It is incorporated in Hong Kong. Lenovo was formed in 1984 as a spin-off of the Chinese Academy of Sciences new technology unit. The company initially began as a reseller, distributor and later CM for foreign brands, including IBM, entering the Chinese market. In 1990, Lenovo started to manufacture its own PCs and by 1997 became the market leader in China. In 2004, Lenovo bought IBM's PC business for $1.25billion. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %

Maybe your degree doesn't hold the title of most lucrative college major, but that hardly means all your four years got you was a meager paycheck.
Forbes gathered median salary information from PayScale.com for 20 popular majors, and while all jobs were included in the study anyone with an advanced degree was not part of it. PayScale's director of quantitative analysis commented that those with majors in economics, finance, and math have remarkable earning potential that can be realized with some experience.

I worked for two Fortune 200 companies and have operated four business ventures over 25 years. I have to agree with JANET87, companies(especially business) look for great people and communication skills. I received my Business degree in the 1980's and used very little of it at all. Most will be in Sales or in Customer Service(Account Executive). You may be a technical whiz kid but if you can't get the sales or keep the customers your are gone! All that Accounting theory and Finance will be in specialized departments and you will not be looking a P&L statements unless you go out on your own(which should be your next goal!) Engineering firms I have worked with never use advanced Calculus they just plug in info into CAD and computer apps.Most unlicensed engineers are just male secretaries and delivery boys. Most forgot the basic electrical theories and really only a small percentage ever really design anything original. Templates or old permit renewals, plan reworks which of course depends on the specialty . Field engineers use laptops and board level troubleshooting and 90% is on the job training. When you start out you don't know doodle, and the company knows that. Companies are looking for profit potential with or without a degree. If I was going to school today I would choose Liberal Arts such as English,Writing or Communications. It is the paramount skill for leaders at any job or owning your own business. The ability to come up with creative ideas and think outside the box and transfer those ideas to others. Find a major you love and go for it..Don't ask permission from strangers to live your life! Everyone is unique and the world is full of over educated people who are afraid to act. Believe in you!!! You must strike out and do it your way and know that success is only on the far side of failure and you must embrace that challenge. The world belongs to the risk takers, always has always will........If you had all the money in the world what would you major in? You can only be happy if you are doing what you love, leave the negative losers behind and trust you instincts. Many years from now you will wake up and truly be in love with your life. Go for it!!! Never give up!!!!.........

I'm currently a business management and finance major and after I'm going to pursue my M.A in economics. I feel as if you can achieve a degree in any subject, and be very successful. It is truly up to an individuals to say "I going to be the best at what I do", as well as be persistent. Many get it twisted and confused. A degree DOES NOT secure a job for you, you do!

I don't think you can blame Bush for your poor major choice and your lack of desire to get a real job. Nice try. Instead of making excuses why don't you go for the police academy or back to school. Either way a degree is what you make it. You can get a major in Engineering and fall on your face or you can get a major in Communications, learn to speak 6 languages and make 5 times more. Life is what you make it.

I originally double majored in Accounting and Finance and spent several years in banking operations management but the job prospects are far and few between now. When the work is there it pays well (six figures plus and more at the VP level and above) but finding those jobs are tough right now. To that end I currently am one semester away from receiving my degree in criminal justice (with a focus on criminal law)so at least I will have 3 things on the list. However, with the way the economy is going, who knows which fields will be lucrative in the coming years.

History at 12? I wonder if most go into the legal profession, like I intend to do. It will pay of immediately when I start teaching this spring and continue as I obtain my law degree. My boyfriend is an Accountant so he will be happy to know he is ahead of me.

Hooray for English majors! We aren't idiots for choosing that field. Almost every industry needs writers - it is a very flexible degree with a diverse array of career options.

Reviews for the Asus K42F
Source: Laptop Mag
There's no question that Intel's Core i5 processor is a breakthrough for notebook performance. And the ASUS K42F puts this technology to good use by delivering awesome performance for everyday tasks plus impressive multitasking power in a design that's easily portable. We also like the built-in Blu-ray player, bright screen, and nearly five hours of battery life. However, the design of this notebook doesn't quite live up to its high-octane components, especially when it comes to ergonomics. Overall, though, the K42F is one hell of a mobile speed demon.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

540M: The Core i5-540M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-3.06 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD 3150) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
14.0": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

Don't Tase Me Bro: NYCLU Report Says NY Police Abuse Use of Tasers
Tiffany Kaiser

Better regulation and stricter guidelines could turn this problem around, says the NYCLU
The New York Civil Liberties Union has released a report claiming that New York police officers are using Tasers inappropriately.
NYCLU's report, called "Taking Tasers Seriously: The Need for Better Regulation of Stun Guns in New York," studied 851 taser incident reports from eight New York police departments. Tasers are
electroshock weapons
that use electrical current to halt voluntary control of muscles. If shocks are prolonged, they can lead to injury or death.
In addition to analyzing incident reports, NYCLU requested the policies and guidelines for using Tasers from 10 New York police departments for comparison purposes.
According to the report, 60 percent of reported Taser incidents did not meet guidelines that limit the use of Tasers to situations where physical aggression is involved. It also found that 75 percent of reported incidents did not involve verbal warnings before the use of a Taser, which is required under expert recommendation.
The report also found that 40 percent of Taser incidents involved "at-risk subjects" such as children and the elderly; over one-third of Taser incidents involved prolonged shocks, even though this can be fatal; over 25 percent of Taser incidents involve shocks directly to a citizen's chest, even though guidelines advise against it; 15 percent of reports involved people who were armed, and another 15 percent of Taser incidents were clearly labeled as inappropriate, where officers used the weapon on those who were already restrained by other methods such as handcuffs.
In addition, the NYCLU report discovered that people of color are more likely to be Taser victims. According to the report, 58 percent of Taser victims were black or Latino.
"Our analysis shows that police officers are using Tasers in inappropriate, irresponsible and downright deadly manner," said Donna Lieberman, NYCLU executive director. "This disturbing pattern of
misuse and abuse
endangers lives. Law enforcement agencies that choose to use Tasers must adopt clear and effective policies governing their use, and they must do so without delay."
The NYCLU is looking to turn this Taser issue around in the following three ways:
Law enforcement agencies throughout the state must reform use-of-force policies and Taser training programs to comply with nationally recognized expert guidelines.
The state government must play an active role in promoting and achieving universal adoption of these expert-recommended policies and guidelines, and in ensuring that local agencies coordinate their Taser policies and training programs.
The state government and local law enforcement agencies must require accurate, complete reporting and robust monitoring of Taser use.
The NYCLU made an exception in its report, saying that the NYPD has complied with Taser policies and guidelines. But others throughout the state have not, leading to the death of over a dozen New York citizens "in recent years."
Do some police officers abuse their rights as authorities? Of course. Just look at the last year of reports regarding
the taping of law enforcement
. Police officers have handled certain situations inappropriately in the past, and when the public would videotape them using cameras or mobile phones, officers began arresting those doing the filming. Police officers felt they shouldn't be videotaped while on duty, even though in some cases, they were partaking in some form of police brutality.
In August of this year, the First Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled that citizens had the right to videotape police officers
while they're on duty.
What I'm saying is, I wouldn't be too surprised if police officers were abusing the use of Tasers to an extent considering the fact that there have been past issues with some police departments.
What do you think?
remember me

RE: Yikes! Remind me not to be black or latino in NYC.
Why would you just boot them out of the force? They should be charged with assault like the rest of would be.

A man has been shot dead following a high speed chase on Auckland's Northwestern Motorway.
The police chase started after a vehicle was stolen in west Auckland shortly after 1pm and travelled through to the central city, with more than 20 police cars involved.
The offender, believed to be a Maori or Polynesian male in his mid 20's, fired shots sporadically in the direction of the chasing police and up above at the Police Eagle Helicopter throughout the incident.
Police say they are conducting a full investigation into the incident and will release further information on Friday afternoon.
Chase through Auckland suburbs
The police chase started on Glengarry Road in Glen Eden. The offender then sped down Konini Road, Kaurilands Rd and onto Glendale Road where he stopped at a residential address where shots where reportedly fired.
The offender approached the house but then decamped on foot, heading towards New Lynn.
He is reported to have ended up at a house on Pine Street in New Lynn where he got into Grey Nissan Skyline.
He reportedly drove erratically through several suburbs including Sandringham, Ponsonby and Grey Lynn, before heading onto the Northwestern Motorway.
Once on the Northwestern heading west, the offender pulled off into the emergency lane, jumped the motorway barrier and onto the northbound lane.
Police caught up with the man after he ditched the second car.
The Northwestern Motorway was closed, both ways at St Lukes and
Pt Chevalier, but re-opened west bound just before 6pm.
The incident is causing major traffic problems heading into the holiday weekend in Auckland. For up to date images from the motorways, click on the links below:

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona Wildcats to play BYU at University of Phoenix Stadium
The University of Arizona announced Friday it will play a series with Brigham Young University, with one of the games being at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
The game in Glendale will be played in 2016, and it will be followed by a matchup in Tucson in 2018 and Provo, Utah in 2020.
"Our Phoenix-area fan base is an important part of our Arizona Athletics community," Arizona athletics director Greg Byrne said. "We're excited to announce our series with BYU and especially playing the first game at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale in 2016. These three games will provide the coaches, student-athletes and fans of both Arizona and BYU with a great regional match-up. I look forward to working with BYU Athletics Director Tom Holmoe to further promote this series and providing an exciting atmosphere for our fans."
The Wildcats are 12-9-1 all-time against BYU, with the most recent meeting being a 31-21 Arizona win at the Las Vegas Bowl in 2008.
The game in Glendale against BYU will be Arizona's first against a non-ASU team since January 1, 1994, when the Wildcats beat Miami 29-0 in the Fiesta Bowl.
"We're very excited to have a game in Phoenix," Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. "We have a lot of Arizona fans and supporters in the Valley and this is great for them. I also think this is a great series with BYU, a program with a lot of tradition. I think this match-up will have regional and national interest."
The announcement came via a Google+ Hangout.

Hankies become quilts in her handsHawley, Minn. - What formerly were used to tidy up the tears and sniffles of women in the early 1900s have become Ione Johnson's most coveted items for sewing projects: antique handkerchiefs.
Hawley, Minn. - What formerly were used to tidy up the tears and sniffles of women in the early 1900s have become Ione Johnson's most coveted items for sewing projects: antique handkerchiefs.
"Whenever they're on an auction sale, that's when I buy them, and you pay dearly for them now," says the 88-year-old Hawley embroiderer. "Seems like there are a lot of other ladies that like them, too, these days."
Perhaps they, like Johnson, have discovered an even more delicate purpose for the hankies. No longer just for mopping up messes, in the right hands the old cloths can be turned into delicate butterflies fluttering on a warm, soft quilt.
Johnson just finished three "butterfly quilts," and when she took them to downtown Hawley to show her quilter friends, they made a big deal of them.
It's likely she'll be hauling at least one of them to this year's Clay County Fair in Barnesville, as she's done in past years with other hand-stitched creations. "I've been making quilts for over 50 years," Johnson says. "Many of them have received grand-champion ribbons."
Not that she needs the accolades. "It's just a lot of bragging as far as I'm concerned," she says, chuckling.
For her, it's not about the awards or even the money, though she does sell her quilts on occasion. Instead, she does it for the pure satisfaction she receives from hanging out with her embroidery needle – something she started when her mother introduced her to the craft as a teen – and seeing what can come of it.
"I just love to embroider and put things together," Johnson says. "It's comforting and relaxing. It's something I can just do on my own and forget everything else. To me, it's just plain enjoyable."
She also likes giving away her quilts, mainly to family and friends. Johnson has six grandkids and nine great-grandchildren, and all have benefited from her handiwork.
She's impressed with the care her family members have taken to preserve them. The car quilt she crafted for a grandson back in the 1980s, with wheels she worked hard to fill in solid with thread, looks nearly as fresh as the day she gave it to him, she says.
Other favorites include one that featured an array of Biblical characters, another with depictions of the United States, and a third sporting all of the state birds in various colors.
Her baby quilts have been among the most used and well-received, welcoming new life.
Johnson says a lot of patience and sustained concentration are required to go from beginning to end of a quilting project. "It takes six weeks at least. For the butterfly quilts, maybe two months for each," she says, "and that's pretty steady work."
But she's got a nice, rolling chair that adjusts height to help, and plenty of ambition to keep going, one quilt to the next.
"I've been a widow 10 years on April 30," Johnson says, adding that keeping busy with projects helps take her mind off missing her husband, Haaken.
Of course, if she wanted, she could join the quilting ladies who convene each week at the senior center. But Johnson says she'd be hard-pressed to find time to break away from her own routine and projects.
Johnson is willing to sell the three butterfly quilts she recently completed, including the two queen-sized ones with colored butterflies, at $100 each. The third, a king-sized quilt made of white handkerchiefs, will go for about $125.
"I think any quilter would say that's not high at all," Johnson says, noting that each quilt consumes many hours of her time, but, to her, it's worth every stitch.
Those interested in the butterfly quilts can contact Johnson at (218) 483-4156.

Why are some women so insecure?
Why are some girls so insecure? My brother's wife is beautiful and everything but she can't stop complaining about her body. Could you explain?
Most Helpful Opinion
Sometimes it isn't insecurity at all. Sometimes it is realistic. It is acknowledging the fact that, while we may be beautiful, we can still be MORE beautiful. There is always room for improvement when humans are involved because no one is perfect. She is merely acknowledging the gap. It is very American to strive for more - to be the best. Women come by it honestly. A parallel question could be, why are some boys so insecure that they feel the need to put other men down (telling them they have a smaller penis, calling them a fag)? It's the same problem, it just presents itself differently: when women are insecure, they degrade themselves; whereas, when men are insecure, they degrade other men to compensate (it's why you never here some one say: "SHE must be compensating for something") Also, while a man's ideal may be a confident women, we are socialized to be quiet, social creatures, which also requires us to be humble. Hence the reason why when around other women, we may put ourselves down while raising the other women on a pedestal. We are man's mirror. While men are always competing to be top dog, women have always been revered for their ability to submit (to be less than). Hope that made sense, and shed some light :)
What Girls Said 29
that's a huge generalization. I'm not insecure and I'm not insecure.
Insecurity sometimes comes from an abusive back ground or people who have not been supportive of her.
But I wouldn't go as far as to judge all women as insecure - because if they all were like that, we wouldn't be in high ranking jobs in this common day society
meh. not all women are.. but we are constantly comparing our selves to "Jessica alba" and her bod. its also hard to watch all the girls that look like her, are getting all the attention from guys. I no for my self I set standards for my self. so regardless of how nice you think someone looks. they will always be looking for something better. think about what would make you insecure?
I know I am insecure from all the men in the past knocking me down. After you hear something so many times you start to believe it. Also, look at all the pressure society puts on us women to be beautiful. I always feel if I am never "enough". Never thin enough, tall enough, sexy enough. Men just don't understand the pressure put on us and our looks.
Wow! You took the words right outta my mouth!
thats just the way some woman are. I'm like that. I complaing about myself all the time. I honestly couldn't tell you one good thing about myself. its different things in life that put us up this way. some having to think that we have to look like the girls on tv to be gorgeous or hott or ya know whatveer. barbie dolsl always being so skinny (theres an article that just came out with that you'll have to read it) all this surgery to improve yourself. if girls sleep with a lot of guys they are considered a slut or a whore and that makes them insecure but if a guy does it. then its okay.
im a VERY insecure person. because I hate so many things about my body. people tell me all the time how gorgeous I am and how beautiful I am but I just don't see it because there's so many other girls out there that look a million times better then me. and I haven't exactly been treated the best in my past relationships. so. well that's why I am so insecure
what do other girls have to do with you,
Why did Marylin Monroe kill herself? Beauty isn't everything. Women (some) want to believe that a man will just love them for their looks and at the same time they know that is not possible. A man will treat a pretty woman like a princess to get her attention and to sleep with her but that doesn't mean that he would marry her or jump in front of a bullet for her. A man will screw perfect 10's all day, but when the chips are down he would push those skanks out of the way to jump in front of a bullet for his not so sexy 6 who is a beautiful person where it counts (inside).
Best answer.
Wow. I can't believe a 6 is not so sexy.
Its because of airbrushed movie stars and stuff. I mean hollywood really makes people look so beautiful and its unrealistic. Since I've been 16 years old I've been dealing with eating disorders. I'm 5'6" and got down to 108 just because I didn't want to have a crease in my stomache when I sat down, and I didn't want my thighs to touch. its sucky but its just life. now I'm pregnant and I have to get over my self issues , but who knwos what will happen after I give birth. I really feel I may go back to my own way.s
i think its because, they will always see someone prettier than themselves. Its hard to comfortable with yourself when porn is distorting the images of women all the time. They always amake women look so busty, curvy and perfect, and when a women that is beautiful sees that, than it makes her insecure about herself.
Some people complain about their body simply because they are not happy with it. Others don't have a person that cares about them to tell he/she that they look good. Sounds like your brother needs to tell his wife how beautiful she actually is every once in a while. She would love every minute of it, trust me.
For me, it's the media. Every girl on TV is just so much more beautiful and perfect (or fake) than I am. I know that they are made up and photoshopped, etc, but it doesn't make seeing them any easier. I find myself wanting to look like those girls, even though their bodies are unattainable. They are skinnier than me, have clearer complexions than me, dress better than me, and act better than me. Even though I am aware of this, it does not help much. The media creates unrealistic expectations and makes women feel like the TV woman is what every guy (including our boyfriends) wants. I know my boyfriend loves me and not the women on TV, but I still wish I could be more perfect so that I could please him more. I want a flatter stomach, a better sense of dress, and a stronger personality. It's all rather depressing really. I hate the media and the way it portrays both men AND women.
Through the media, the world (pretty much) has established this "perfect look" a woman should achieve. those women who are not even close to the "right measurements" are considered imperfect and need lots of improvements. people have incorporated the idea or the "perfect look" and therefore blurred out the realistic look of women.
no matter how we have established that "everyone is unique in their own special way", it is sad to say that because of the influence of this "perfect look" our idea of BEAUTY is distorted.
Media.. stupid guys who base their opinions on looks and the peers. All these factors are the reason for a girl being insecure. I was too but now I realize it wasn't worth it. Maybe your brother should give her more attention and love. If he makes her feel like she's PERFECT, maybe she'll stop complaining.
What Guys Said 5
Its because of the media.
- If that were the case, men would have the same problem, as magazines and movies and such portray loads of perfect male specimens.
Also if men wanted someone perfect, they would go get someone they thought was perfect, but instead they chose you. Women also have their porn in the form of romance novels and soap operas, but you don't see men worrying that their SO will leave them for someone more like in the book they're reading or some character on TV.
That's just what women are like.
- cop out, that's like saying men are insensitive, that's just what we're like, but men can change and become more sensitive, and times show they are more so than they were 50 years ago.
The real point is in most cases is worry and addiction to worrying and wanting a man to comfort you from your worry.
I believe this comes from the fact that women are comforted as children when they cry and men are told to shake it off, be a man, and don't cry or you'll look like a sissy.
It is hard and can teach men to be insensitive, but the opposite extreme is also wrong as it reinforces emotional immaturity and teaches that you will get something positive from your insecurities.
It is not only a psychological disorder, but can be very taxing on relationships that already have real problems to deal with, only to have imaginary ones added to the mix.
Also it's a self fulfilling curse, because people find confidence attractive and when you lack self confidence, you lose your appeal, and can eventually lose the other from insecurity. I believe this is one of the big reasons that relationships lose their spark in time, and why sex dies down when people live together.
In the beginning women act confident and sexy to impress the guy they like and are more concerned with the getting together. After a couple are together and especially living together it seems is when the worry and accusations and expectations start. You then appear desperate, and needy and just annoying and the guy becomes less turned on by someone who acts like that, which only makes the woman more insecure that her guy is losing interest, all making a vicious circular downward spiral.
It's not always the case, but in my experience it's more often than not.
It's why I always go for good looking tomboys with no more than 5 pairs of shoes, and that liked hanging out with boys even when they were kids. Most are now gay, but the ones that aren't make great relationships and are fun and don't drive you crazy.
Men have insecurities too--penis size ( media related), body build and looks come to mind. We are ALL human with human frailties if you can't deal with feminine aspects or behavior then it may be wise not to date them because this probably will not change.
Men make penis enhancement and performance into a billion dollar industry--this is because they all buy the "media" hype that a woman want LONG DONG SILVER--believe me hun men have silly insecurities too--but unlike men, who are taught to ridicule human emotions, we try to make mates feel good about themselves despite this. I didn't know ONE MAN who didn't have what could be regarded as a silly insecurity, but I never made them feel small for it, something men like you could learn.
It could be that she is missing the natural attention he should be getting from your brother and therefore complains about herself so that he will compliment her. It could also be that she is one of those non-stop whiny, spoiled girls who doesn't know anything else but to complain.
I would say me being kind of insecure well be from past guys hurting me
Well how I see it is as follows:
Girls want to know that they are loved and cherished by men. But history hasn't been so kind to them, rather they were subordinated and humiliated by men. That created a skepticism towards men and all this insecurity of "Does he really like me? ", "Am I really good enough? " etc. Or will he only leave me for someone else as is expected in their minds already because they are insecure in the first place. It is an ingrained pattern in the woman of the world. But it is also very natural for a girl to want to look good for her man, not because she wants to know that she is the best, but rather to know that she can make him happy. So girls are actually doing all these things because they love men, and looks are very important to them, because looks is what attracts men physically. While men don't care about looks in a deeper way, but rather want to show affection and let the woman feel good, which in turn is what physically attracts women. So it is kind of a Jing-Jang effect - they fit together. But it takes sacrifice/ or rather acceptance and giving from both sides to make it work. In todays world all these things, natural and unnatural are all mixed up and confused and then you get what you get today.
Let it rather be a compliment to you/ guys when she complains about her body rather than an irritation, because she is concerned about what you think and doing it for you after all.
God bless you brother--finally a man who gets it and understands!
Your a genius...honestly.
;) Thanks...
I just wish more girls would recognize that. I've been single for a decade now... But I've got to keep patient for just the right one.

Every clinic is different! Each athlete has a unique set of experiences and expertise, so be sure to read each clinic description carefully so know what to expect from the session.
Every clinic is different! Each athlete has a unique set of experiences and expertise, so be sure to read each clinic description carefully so know what to expect from the session.
PCI Clinics are best suited for climbers who are ambitious and want to improve. So, if you're hungry to get stronger, improve your technique, be inspired, and learn from some of the most experienced athletes in our sport, you've come to the right place. Our events offer both youth and adult specific clinics, so just make sure you enroll in the correct session.
All abilities are welcome! We often work with brand new climbers and national champions within the same clinic event. Our clinic sessions will be targeted toward specific levels of experience, so again, make sure you enroll in the most appropriate clinic session for your ability.
Depending on the size of the event, there will be between 1 and 3 professional athletes teaching the clinic. When there is more than one athlete teaching the event, the group is split into "stations" taught by each athlete. The groups then rotate through the stations so everyone gets to learn from and climb with every athlete.
Most of our clinics are hosted at climbing gyms, so if you don't own climbing gear, you can rent it at the facility.
Our clinics are a small group learning environment. We keep the athlete to student ratios at 1:8 or less so that everyone can receive personalized feedback.
Ouch! Clinic spots can run out very quickly, but please contact us and we will put you on a waiting list. If there are a lot of people contacting us about a specific sold out event, we may open up a new clinic day, to accommodate those who were not able to secure a spot at the first clinic.
We do offer gift certificates for our Private Lessons.
For Pro Clinics, we have limited amount of spots and we are unable to reserve those spots. So if you wish to purchase a Pro Clinic for a friend or loved one, secure their spot now through the BOOK NOW link on the specific event page. Keep in mind, clinic spots are limited and can run out very quickly, so book as soon as you can!
That's great! Please use the contact form below to get in touch with us, and we'll get things started.
PCI does offer the outdoor experience with our PCI Adventures. This is based on a group rate where all accommodations are included as a package deal. If you are interested in creating your own personalized adventure, please contact email@example.com.

A campaign created by fans to save the soaps in question has stated that those at the CBS Studio became concerned by all the packages they were getting, which alerted the FBI to look into the matter. Initially thinking the packages could possibly contain anthrax, many fans were asked, by the FBI and State Police, to stop sending out the message through packages - and asked to send letters instead.
Soaps.com knows that Daytime has some of the most loyal fans, ones who will do just about anything to see their favorite dramas back on the air, such as Guiding Light, which was recently canceled, the cancellation of Passions and the most recent cancellation announcement As The World Turns Canceled, and we too are saddened every time news like this hits the soap world.
Were any of you notified to stop mailing soap to the soapy studio? Please share your experience with Soaps.com below!

Abortion Remains Dividing Point for Obama Observers
President Obama wants to reduce the "need for abortion", but one of his cheerleaders David P. Gushee published a column with USA Today titled, "Mr. President, we need more than lip service":
"Mexico City, conscience clause, Sebelius, embryonic stem cells. In each case, I have been asked by friends at Democratic or progressive-leaning think tanks not just to refrain from opposing these moves, but instead to support them in the name of a broader understanding of what it means to be pro-life. I mainly refused."
David Gibson calls Gushee's column "buyer's remorse."
Christian conscience requires me to make this case even if it has no chance of prevailing in American society. And if we lose on abortion, as it appears we will lose for a long time to come, Christian conscience requires me to ask the government not to require citizens to pay for procuring services that violate their sacred beliefs.
... And if we lose there, then the entire relationship between religious faith and American society will move into a period of profound crisis.
President Obama, we need more than lip service on these crucial issues. Bring the transformational change your promises led us to hope for.
Gushee isn't the only one dealing with frustration. Frank Page, a member of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships' council, said he hasn't been pleased with some of Obama's policies.
"At this point I would have to say I have been very frustrated that what little protections there are for the unborn have been quickly and systematically removed," Page told the Baptist Press. "So that has very discouraging. I have been somewhat encouraged that he has promised that he would not force someone – a health-care worker, for example – to be involved in an abortion if he or she should object on a conscience basis. But other than that, there has been the removal of protections and policies that would have protected the unborn."
Joshua DuBois, director of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, will meet with evangelical groups, including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women of America in an effort to find some common ground, Congressional Quarterlyreports. Guessing from FRC and CWA priorities, the discussion will likely revolve around abortion.
Update: Eric Gorski has a helpful roundup on how Christians are optimistic but disappointed about Obama's recent moves.
Focus on the Family's CitizenLink writes that Samuel Rodriguez is also disappointed.

The river meets tide-water at Trenton, New Jersey. Its total length, from the head of the longest branch to the capes, is 410 miles (660 km), and above the head of the bay its length is 360 miles (579 km). The mean freshwater discharge of the Delaware River into the estuary is 11,550 cubic feet (330 m³) per second.
The Delaware River constitutes in part the boundary between Pennsylvania and New York, the entire boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and most of the boundary between Delaware and New Jersey. A historical oddity, the Delaware-New Jersey Border is actually at the eastern-most river shoreline within the Twelve-Mile Circle of New Castle, rather than the usual mid river or mid channel borders, causing small portions of the New Jersey peninsula falling west of the shoreline to fall under the jurisdiction of Delaware. The rest of the borders follow a mid-channel approach.
Commerce was once important on the upper river, primarily prior to railway competition (1857).
The mean tides below Philadelphia are about . The magnitude of the commerce of Philadelphia has made the improvements of the river below that port of great importance. Small improvements were attempted by Pennsylvania as early as 1771.
In the "project of 1885" the United States government undertook systematically the formation of a 26 ft (8 m) channel 600 ft (180 m) wide from Philadelphia to deep water in Delaware Bay. The River and Harbor Act of 1899 provided for a 30 foot (9 m) channel 600 feet (180 m) wide from Philadelphia to the deep water of the bay.
After leaving the mountains and plateau, the river flows down broad Appalachian valleys. Below Port Jervis, New York the Wallpack Ridge deflects the Delaware into the Minisink Valley, where it follows the southwest strike of the eroded Marcellus Formation beds along the Pennsylvania–New Jersey state line for to the end of the ridge at Wallpack Bend in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The Minisink is a buried valley where the Delaware flows in a bed of glacial till that buried the eroded bedrock during the last glacial period. It then skirts the Kittatinny ridge, which it crosses at the Delaware Water Gap, between nearly vertical walls of limestone, and passes through a quiet and charming country of farm and forest, diversified with plateaus and escarpments, until it crosses the Appalachian plain and enters the hills again at Easton, Pennsylvania. From this point it is flanked at intervals by fine hills, and in places by cliffs, of which the finest are the Nockamixon Rocks, 3 miles (5 km) long and above 200 feet (60 m) high.
At Trenton there is a fall of 8 feet (2.4 m). Below Trenton the river flows between Philadelphia and New Jersey before becoming a broad, sluggish inlet of the sea, with many marshes along its side, widening steadily into its great estuary, Delaware Bay.
The Delaware has experienced a number of serious flooding events as the result of snow melt and/or rain run-off from heavy rainstorms. Record flooding occurred in August 1955, in the aftermath of the passing of the remnants of two separate hurricanes over the area within less than a week: first Hurricane Connie and then Hurricane Diane, which was, and still is, the wettest tropical cyclone to have hit the northeastern United States. The river gauge at Riegelsville, PA recorded an all time record crest of 38.85 feet on 19 August 1955.
More recently, moderate to severe flooding has occurred along the river. The same gauge at Riegelsville recorded a peak of 30.95 feet on 23 September 2004, 34.07 feet on 4 April 2005, and 33.62 feet on 28 June 2006, all considerably higher than the flood stage of . Source: USGS See Also: (State of New Jersey: RECENT FLOODING EVENTS IN THE DELAWARE RIVER BASIN)
Since the upper Delaware basin has few population centers along its banks, flooding in this area mainly affects natural unpopulated flood plains. Residents in the middle part of the Delaware basin experience flooding, including three major floods in the past three years that have severely damaged their homes and land. The lower part of the Delaware basin from Philadelphia southward to the Delaware Bay is tidal and much wider than portions further north, and is not prone to river related flooding (although tidal surges can cause minor flooding in this area).
The Delaware River Basin Commission, along with local governments, is working to try to address the issue of flooding along the river. As the past few years have seen a rise in catastrophic floods, most residents of the river basin feel that something must be done. However, due to insufficient federal funds, progress is slow.
They are currently rumors that New York City will be expanding some of the reservoirs to meet demand. The hamlet of Downsville, New York in Colchester might be a part of these future plans.
The Delaware River is a major barrier to travel between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Most of the larger bridges are tolled only westbound, and are owned by the Delaware River and Bay Authority, Delaware River Port Authority, Burlington County Bridge Commission or Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.
