As of Wednesday, December 19, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Staff writer Brian Paglia looks back at Eagle's Landing Christian's historical 2012 season and ahead at what might be in store next year.
The season: Hope you didn't miss the ending. Eagle's Landing Christian defeated Prince Avenue Christian 33-0 in the Class A private school championship game at the Georgia Dome, capping a 13-1 season and winning the program's first Georgia High School Association state title. After losing to Washington County in its season-opener, ELCA reeled off 13 straight victories to the final history-making one.
What went right: The Chargers have been able to score points for awhile now, even before star running back Keyante Green entered the program four years ago. But ELCA lacked a defense that could dominate in the later rounds of the playoffs against other elite opponents. No one looked elite against the Chargers' defense this season. After the WACO loss, ELCA's starting defense didn't allow a touchdown until the first round of the playoffs and held Prince Avenue to just 136 total yards of offense in the state finals.
What needs to improve: Hmmm ... good question. A potent offense, a devastating defense. What else was ELCA missing? If there's anything, perhaps head coach Jonathan Gess would've preferred to avoid all the drama with injuries. At various times, significant contributors like Green (ankle), D.J. Curl (ankle), Bryson Durden (hamstring), Isaac Rochell (hand), Dalton Ethridge (ankle) and others missed action because of injuries. But the Chargers never missed a beat on the scoreboard, a testament to their impressive depth this season.
Chances for next season: Let's start with what the Chargers will have to replace — running back/linebacker Green; defensive end Rochell; defensive backs Curl, Marquis Griffin and Jevius Terry; and offensive linemen Jake Martin and Tyler Petty, among others. Now consider what ELCA brings back — quarterback Etheridge, wide receiver Davis Carrandi; linebackers Durden, Josh Shockley and Chase Burdette; and defensive lineman Andrew Williams, among others. Yes, there are holes to fill, but the Chargers have enough star power returning to be considered the favorite in the private school ranks again.
Coach Gess says: "I had a very special senior class. I don't think it was many, 12 or 13 maybe, but very special. Great chemistry there with that class. You're not going to replace them. ... But hopefully they've left a legacy and an expectation for the next class and the next group of people."

Martin Skrtel believes a 'collective effort' was the key to ensuring Liverpool emerged triumphant in a hard-fought contest with Norwich on Sunday.
The Reds raced into an early two-goal lead thanks to efforts from Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez. The Canaries hit back after the break through Gary Hooper before Sterling added the visitors' third.
Robert Snodgrass's 77th minute header for Norwich set up a tense finale, but Brendan Rodgers' side were able to see out the remainder of the contest and move five points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Speaking to his official website, Skrtel reflected: "We have three very precious points.
"The first half was really good, we were dominant, scored two goals and also kept them at bay, but the second half was different.
"They played really well and never gave up. We didn't play that well in the second half but we fought very hard and we won. It was a collective effort.
"Now we have one week to get ready for Chelsea and obviously everyone knows what a game that is."

Eating Out
Cambridge, MA: Concord Ave Cafe
Hi all,
My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I wanted to make him a shirt with a picture of one of our favorite places in Cambridge--the Concord Ave Cafe. We have since moved away from the area so it would have a silly sentimental value to it. I realize this is a long shot, but does anyone know of this cafe and, more specifically, recall the list of items they have posted on their window? It is an eclectic mix of sushi, lasagna, ice cream, carrot juice, etc. but I cant remember the full list.
Again, I realize this is rather random and specific, but I figured Id ask!
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Program Urges Smokers Switch to Smokeless Tobacco
By The State Journal
In the smoker-heavy state of Kentucky, a cancer center is suggesting something that most health experts won't and the tobacco industry can't: If you really want to quit, switch to smoke-free tobacco. The James Graham Brown Cancer Center and the University of Louisville are aiming their new "Switch and Quit" campaign at the city of Owensboro. It urges smokers to swap their cigarettes for smokeless tobacco and other products that don't deliver nicotine by smoke.

(WREG-TV) You know about Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Now there's a new social media site kids are using.
It's called ask.fm, and it's growing in popularity here in the Mid-South.
Kids are using it to bully each other; in some places, even to death.
The site lets you post anonymously and say anything to anyone on it.
"Someone has told me to kill myself and I didn't know who they were," Ava Bourg said.
Ava just turned 12 years old.
"They will leave comments that I'm overweight and I should starve myself," she said.
She already knows the dangers of cyberbullying.
"It definitely brought my self esteem down and made me feel like I wasn't as good as I could be," she said.
She used to have an ask.fm account, until her self-described "hyper vigilant" mother found a link to it on her Instagram page.
"I clicked on it and mainly it was people asking how do you do your hair, how do you put your makeup on, and in between were inappropriately talking about show me your boobs," Annie Tennyson said.
"She said this isn't meant for kids your age if you're getting those type of questions," Ava said.
So Ava got rid of her account, but most of the students at her middle school are on it, saying hateful things to one another.
"'You're so annoying, no one really likes you,'" she said someone wrote on her friend's page. "Someone said 'slut' like ten times to her."
While it's wildly popular with kids, most adults have never heard of it.
That includes Shelby County Schools Manager of Student Behavior Dr. Randy McPherson.
"Every time that we think we have identified where potential problems could be, another one that comes up," he said.
Scrolling down the pages of ask.fm, he spotted obvious concerns.
"There's no filtering or monitoring by the website's owners are all," he pointed out.
He says students reported 2,100 incidents of bullying in Shelby County Schools last year.
There's no way of knowing how much of it was online.
"It all occurs outside the school. Very little that happens inside school," he said.
So the school district is hosting anti-bullying events to share the dangers with kids.
But McPherson says parents have responsibility too.
"Parents sometimes are a little too concerned about privacy of your children, and we need to remember they are children. We need to monitor how they use technology," he said.
That's because it's not just the victims who can be affected.
The bully can be jailed.
The Tipton County Sherriff's Office says the number of reported cyberbullying cases is on the rise.
"Obviously we respect freedom of speech, but you go above freedom of speech when you make a threat which is a violation of the criminal code," Chief Donna Turner said.
The District Attorney even prosecuted some kids for harassment.
"Anything electronically sent that is any time of threat is a crime of harassment and they can be petitioned in juvenile court," she said.
So whether your child is the bully or the victim, Ava's mom says get involved.
"I'm not going to lose my daughter," she said.
If you are being bullied, Ava has this message for you:
"Stay strong. They are going to be mean because their kids and you'll get over because it's just a few words left on your profile."
Sadly, nine teenagers connected to ask.fm have committed suicide after receiving hateful anonymous messages on the site.

ECE Graduate Student Receives International Award
|Tutku Karacolak
Tutku Karacolak, a PhD student in the ECE department, received a prestigious international award from IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Graduate Fellowship Awards were given annually to five outstanding PhD students in the world who conduct research in electromagnetics. The applicants were not only judged based on their resume and scholarly publications, but also based on a research proposal they were required to submit. In order to support the winning proposals, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society provided $2,500 funds for the awardees. The project director and Tutku's advisor Assistant Prof. Erdem Topsakal congratulated Tutku and commented on his achievements.
"This is excellent news for Tutku and for our department. I am very proud of him and he clearly deserves this award. This and similar awards given to our graduate students show the strength and hard work of our graduate students and the dedication of our faculty to undergraduate and graduate education."
Tutku is developing antennas for implantable applications such as heart pacemakers, and continuous glucose monitoring. Though he is still a second year PhD student, he has already published four peer reviewed journal papers in the international journals (two more under review), and 20 conference papers. His latest journal paper entitled "Design of a Dual-Band Implantable Antenna and Development of Skin Mimicking Gels for Continuous Glucose Monitoring" will appear in the April issue of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques which is one of the highest impact factor IEEE journals.
Tutku's picture will appear in one of the upcoming issues of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine along with four other awardees.
Tutku is a member of the ECE Electromagnetic Research Group, other members are graduate students Santosh Seran, Zach Hood, Tuba Yilmaz and undergraduate student Brooke Grantham.


text: SAN DIEGO -- Hundreds of athletic administrators and delegates gathered at the San Diego Convention Center Thursday to begin dialogue that is expected to alter the landscape of Division I athletics. ...The new model would allow the five conferences, referred to as the "well-resourced conferences," to make certain legislative decisions on their own, the two major issues being the full cost of attendance and ongoing education scholarships. The cost of attendance -- unofficially referred to as a stipend -- would account for miscellaneous costs that full academic scholarships cover but athletic scholarships do not. No actual dollar amount has been proposed, but the cap would be set as the full cost of attendance as designated by the university.

Louis Burdett found guilty of murdering 10-month-old Taliqa Fields
Posted: November 08, 2012|
A man has been found guilty of the murder of a 10-month-old girl.
Louis Burdett (22) of Aikman Avenue, Leicester, was found guilty after a trial at the city's crown court.
He has been sentenced to life imprisonment, serving a minimum of 13 years.
During the case the court heard how on July 1, 2011 his girlfriend's daughter, Taliqa Fields, was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary after Burdett called an ambulance, stating that she had gone limp. She died the next day in hospital.
Burdett had been looking after the youngster and her two-year-old brother at their home in Drummond Road, off Abbey Lane, Leicester, while their mother, Zoe Harman, was at college.
In a statement released by police after the verdict the parents of Taliqa said: "We are absolutely devastated by what has happened to our daughter.
"Every day is incredibly hard to get through. We used to get up in the morning and bath and dress her and now we have none of that as it was taken away from us. Some days we struggle to even get out of bed. We feel lost.
"Seeing our family and friends playing with their children can be really hard as it brings back so many memories for us. It should be us sat there playing with Taliqa and it is really heart breaking that we can't.
"In her short life Taliqa brought so much happiness to us. She was a lovely girl who loved dancing and was always happy and smiling. We have so many fond memories of her.
"What happened is such a waste of a life – she was just 10 months old."

Play games on your phone, even when your battery has died! A new Retro Game Case line by PureGear brings old school games to the back of your phone in fun summer colors. At $29.99 each, the cases come in three styles featuring three different maze games and are available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5.
Named Amazing, Groovy and Undecided, each of the cases features a different game, including a Pinball-Magic 8 Ball hybrid in Undecided where you ask a question of your case and the rolling ball navigates through pins to land on Yes or No.
These cases are ideal for those who need constant distraction, even while waiting for a plane to take off, or as PureGear says, "anytime you want to experience life before the digital age." A potential drawback is that your phone will perhaps constantly rattle when you have it in your pocket thanks to the rolling ball in the case.
Would you get a Retro Game Case for your iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4, or do you think we don't need yet another reason for people to be constantly staring down at their phones?
My GS4 doesn't die except with extremely heavy use, so I'd never use this case… good thing they make them for iPhones though… seems like the iPhones that belong to the people I work with are ALWAYS dead.

Broadway's lights to be dimmed to honor Ruby Dee
Late thespian RUBY DEE will be honored by the Broadway community on Friday night (13Jun14) when the lights outside the Great White Way's theaters are dimmed in her memory. The actress, who starred in several Broadway hits, died on Wednesday night (11Jun14). Broadway's lights will be dimmed for one minute. Charlotte St. Martin, the executive director of the Broadway League, says, "Ruby Dee inspired so many people both on stage and off. At the Tony Awards last Sunday, both Audra McDonald and Kenny Leon paid tribute to Ruby Dee during their acceptance speeches. "I've long admired Ruby Dee's talent as a performer and her tireless activism for civil rights. Our thoughts are with her family and she will be deeply missed."

We just received a very interesting short article from Philip Fanthom, Managing Director of the IT recruitment division of Jenrick.
Have a read . . . .
You don't know everything.
You do know that, don't you?
Continual learning is a basic necessity to professional improvement and in many cases it's other people who will help you get there.
But only if you're coachable.
Are you coachable?
To be coachable means to be…
â?˘ Approachable
â?˘ Attentive
â?˘ Receptive
â?˘ Curious
â?˘ Objective
â?˘ Trusting
â?˘ Shapeable
â?˘ Confident
It means you must listen with the intent to learn rather than to show what you know. (be no ego)

Making your own spice mix
Making your own spice mix means that you can control the amount of salt used. For Cajun, mix together ground cumin, coriander, chilli powder and a sprinkling of salt, if you like.
- To make the salsa, tip the beans, peppers, avocado and spring onions into a bowl. Season, dress with the olive oil and lemon juice, and set aside.
- Lay the chicken breasts on a board and bash a bit to flatten them out slightly. Place in a dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, then coat with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a griddle pan and cook the chicken for 5 mins on each side, turning if you want to get a criss-cross pattern, until cooked all the way through. Stir coriander through the salsa just before serving. Serve the chicken either whole or sliced.

Comments, questions and tips
I love Salsa recipes.
Check out my home made salsa recipe:
It's 'lacto fermented' which naturally improves the digestibility and vitamin content of the salsa!
I'm making this tomorrow night. I'm also making my own Cajun seasoning which will be slightly different to the above recipe.
Mine will be.... · 3 Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp cayenne, 2 Tbsp Dried Thyme, 2 Tbsp Dried Oregano, 2 Tbsp onion powder, 2 Tbsp Garlic Powder, 1 Tbsp Black pepper and salt to taste.
I wont be using Pinto beans as my OH isn't keen, I do have a can of sweetcorn in the cupboard so I will use that instead.
Also I'm going to marinade the breasts with a little bit of olive oil and the seasoning tonight and then cook it tomorrow night.

The basics of domain name technology
By Simon Grabowski, CEO of GetResponse.com
The basics of domain name technology
What exactly is a domain? How does it work? What's it's purpose?
Allow me to explain. The Internet is a massive computer network comprising of millions of different systems connected together. Just like the millions of houses that appear in any major city around the world, each computer has a specific "address" that's assigned to it.
In computer speak, this is called an IP address (as opposed to a "postal address" which would be used to keep track of houses in a city).
Every one of these computers connected to this massive network has an IP address assigned to it, which will look something like the following.
Now with the shear amount of computers connected to this global metropolis, imagine the chaos of having to remember the IP address of each website you visited instead of its .com address. It just wouldn't work – you'd have such a hard time. For example…
Who hasn't been to Yahoo.com and searched for something? Or loaded up hotmail.com to check their email? Instead of plugging in "www.yahoo.com" into your browser, imagine having to type a long, hard to remember IP address that takes you to their website. Too tiresome. Extremely hard to market. Impossible to brand. You get the picture.
|Check to see if YOUR Domain Name is available by typing it into the search box directly below (choose from .com, .net, .org, .info, biz and .us domains). There is no charge to check availability of domains, but if you decide to purchase your domain name now, our pricing starts at only $9.99 Compare our prices here! or you can Search the WHOIS database to see who owns any domain! If you want to transfer to take advantage of our lower prices, transfer your domain name.
So instead, some bright spark came up with a new idea – an idea that allows both words and numbers to be assigned to a computer name. The result is what you know today as an "Internet domain name".
Let's take a look at the typical domain name and dissect how it works. For argument's sake, we'll take our very domain name…
The end part, ".com", is called the top-level domain (tld). This is the identifying part of the name which separates the actual domain name and was originally intended to put certain domains into different categories. i.e .com was meant for commercial use, .org was for nonprofit organizations, and .net for used for Internet ISP-type companies.
You've no doubt seen many different TLDs yourself – such as .uk for UK domain names, .es for Spanish names, .de for German domains, etc.
The other part, "bizmint" in this case, is a word/phrase assigned to that particular TLD which identifies where the domain should belong. This part can be anything up to 63 characters long, and can contain numbers, letters or dashes (providing the domain doesn't start or end with a dash), but it can't contain any special characters – so things like "?" or "$" are out of the question.
.com is by far the most popular TLD, and with good reason. It's got marketing appeal, brand-naming recognition and it's more popular than any of the other domain extensions put together. We live in the "dot-com revolution"… if a man or woman succeeds online, they're known as a "dot-com entrepreneur"… if a venture fails, we call it a "dot-bomb".
Heck, even the shade of paint I have in my office has been labeled by the company as "dot-com". This kind of appeal is unrivaled by any other TLD – and it's the sole reason why .com is the primary choice for many.
How a domain name is registered
At the start of the Internet era, a .com domain name would cost around $100 to register for two years. Nowadays, you can get them for around $10 a year, depending on the cost set by the Registrar.
What's a Registrar? It's simply a company that has been setup to provide an interface for registering domain names and assigning them to specific networks. The Internet works by having thousands of "DNS databases" around the world which contain the domain name information – i.e. it says that yahoo.com needs to be assigned to their Yahoo servers.
Since the domain name game has become deregulated, more and more registrars have come onto the scene, charging anywhere from $8.95 to $50 per year. What's the difference? None – you still get a domain name assigned to your web server. It's just that many people don't know other, cheaper companies exist. And these cheaper companies may still be as good, and fortunately charge even less.
The difference between a "domain" and a "website"
Having your own .com domain name doesn't mean you automatically have your own website. Here's what you need to have a website…
o A web server which contains your website data. o Your own domain name which points to that server
A web server is simply a computer that's permanently connected to the Internet and has been setup as a machine with the sole dedication of serving web pages. Whilst it's technically possible to turn your own home computer into a web server, in 99.9% of cases it's neither practical nor recommended.
Instead, there are literally thousands of "web hosting" companies in existence that have dedicated machines stored in dedicated, secure network locations around the world. With prices from $10 per month to thousands of dollars monthly (depending on what you buy), they'll hook you up with webspace and a whole load more facilities (such as email, etc). Then on top of this, you need to buy a domain name to point to that web server.
|Check to see if YOUR Domain Name is available by typing it into the search box directly below (choose from .com, .net, .org, .info, biz and .us domains). There is no charge to check availability of domains, but if you decide to purchase your domain name now, our pricing starts at only $9.99 Compare our prices here! or you can Search the WHOIS database to see who owns any domain! If you want to transfer to take advantage of our lower prices, transfer your domain name.
For instance, if you bought "shopping.com" and pointed it to a web host that charged you monthly for hosting webspace, every time someone goes to shopping.com (or www.shopping.com), or sends an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (or whatever email addresses you set up on your web host's machine) they'd in fact be connecting to your web server which would then serve the pages they requested.
A domain name is completely separate from your web server. You can change your web server/web host a thousand different times and simply update your domain name settings to point to the new server. It allows you to have one central presence no matter where you host your website. In fact, your domain name is probably the one thing your customers will ever remember you by.
Which is exactly why domain name branding is one of the most valuable things you can ever do with your online business. It's vitally important that your website name appropriately reflects the kind of image you wish to present. It doesn't necessarily have to be dead true to your business dealings, only with the image – examples…
monster.com is a job search website. People will always remember a generic name such as this because it's easily associated. It's a one word, two syllable name. And when you visit their website, their logo immediately says "monster". Instead, they could have had a name such as "find-a-job-here.com" – but that's complicated to remember. When you want to visit the site next month, was it "findajobhere.com"? or did it have hyphens, or was it "get-a-job-here.com" or what? hmm… hard to remember, lost customers, not branded properly.
Instead, the company chose to use a generic one-word name. Think about it, it's what all of the top websites do – yahoo.com (what does that mean anyway?), hotmail.com, amazon.com, jungle.com – they're all easy to remember.
Unfortunately, because of the shear amount of domains that have been registered, and continue to be registered daily, it's just impossible to snag a one-word domain name without hunting it like a hawk. And it's only once-in-a-million that such a name will ever be made available.
However, the purpose of BizMint.com is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to learn how to make use of domain names that are expiring daily, and use what's available in order to successful brand your site.

A Hornfest To Honor One Of NMSU's Legendary Music Professors
By Fred Martino
Two horn players -- professor Nancy Joy of NMSU, and Victor Valenzuela, third horn player for the Tucson Symphony and an NMSU graduate -- came to the KRWG studios to talk about their love of music, playing the horn, and their collaboration on a concert to honor Dr. Warner Hutchison, professor emeritus and former composer-in-residence here. The concert brought together Prof. Joy's "Corno Crew" -- her affectionate name for the horn choir she leads on campus -- and horn players from all around the area. They spoke with Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin.

Gloucester v Exeter: Common sense key to winning top-four spot
Posted: December 24, 2012|
WHAT started with a swashbuckle was finished with a sledgehammer.
Gloucester wanted to thrill a sell-out Kingsholm crowd in their Aviva Premiership clash on Saturday and turn this into a battle of style over grit.
The conditions and the resolve of the visitors dashed those Cherry and Whites hopes – but still the hosts prevailed.
Instead this became a victory for common sense, and another feather in Nigel Davies' cap too.
No individual in a Gloucester shirt excelled beyond the rest – potentially all will play better individually this term.
But under rugby director Davies such problems are negotiable.
Gloucester's systems, methods and mindsets can always override a certain level of imprecision.
The Kingsholm men want to be far more than successful simply because the sum trumps the parts.
And yet they still realise just how vital that commodity is.
Their desperation to entertain is palpable, but they know it must not become all-consuming.
Attack-minded Gloucester had needed no second invitation to expand their front-foot approach in the victory double over London Irish.
Trying to build extra width against the struggling Exiles in the Amlin Challenge Cup was a calculated risk.
Daring that same strategy against granite-hewn Exeter very nearly proved one gamble too far.
But Davies' side have an increasing ability to shift their approach when and where necessary.
Without such shrewdness on Saturday, they would have lost this game, no doubt.
Gloucester had required 20 unanswered points in the last 25 minutes at London Irish two weeks ago to turn a 22-9 deficit on its head.
When the craved wide play threatened to come up short in Reading, Gloucester tightened up and swept Irish aside with brutal bludgeon.
The Cherry and Whites broke Irish's spirit at the Madejski Stadium, so little can be drawn from last weekend's 47-3 Kingsholm hammering.
Gloucester's attacking ambition is hugely admirable, and long may they battle to find that desired fluency, provided they keep fending off that fiendish front-foot desperation and pare things back when required.
For the first half-hour Gloucester tried to punish Exeter's narrow defensive strategy by raiding out wide from deep.
It played into the rugged visitors' hands, who offer that space then shut it down.
Gloucester were being overwhelmed in territory and possession, with only their dominant scrum denying Exeter some choice attacking platforms.
As soon as the Cherry and Whites realised, they recalibrated.
Freddie Burns started peppering smart line-kicks in behind the Chiefs.
And then Jimmy Cowan was held up over the try-line.
Akapusi Qera picked Haydn Thomas' pocket at the scrum base, Sione Kalamafoni charged down the left flank, and Shane Monahan carved into the Exeter 22.
Rob Cook's clever chip and collect dragged Gloucester to the cusp of the whitewash, before Cowan pounced, without success.
No reward – but that was step one towards victory.
Step two was the reaction to Exeter's try, the game's sole score.
Simon Alcott's finish decided the outcome – it snapped Gloucester back into focus.
Where many would have folded, Gloucester struck back once again and outmuscled the relentless Chiefs in the closing stages.
This Exeter side attack straight through the middle, in wave after wave of direct, uncompromising drives.
Hooker Alcott finished his try from two yards and in isolation that would seem unremarkable.
But Alcott scored on phase number 23 of the move, testament to Exeter's regimented and dogged approach.
More than once en route to that try, Gloucester thought they had stolen the ball.
But every time they came close, Exeter regained both possession and composure.
The Kingsholm men boast an impressive calm themselves, though, clearly filtering through from their savvy and unruffled rugby director.
And just when Exeter thought they could set out a stalemate finish, Gloucester struck back.
Burns inexplicably shanked a straightforward penalty just two minutes after the Exeter try.
But even that could not dislodge Gloucester's mental fortitude.
The Cherry and Whites attacked again, and their patience was rewarded with another penalty.
This time Burns delivered, to leave the home side trailing 16-15 with 15 minutes to play.
By this time all notion of finishing with a flourish had been rightly set aside.
Gloucester battled back into the Exeter 22, determined to set camp until full-time.
At times there was certainly a tempter of pushing for a try.
But in the end Gloucester were relieved to receive a penalty, and an opportunity for Burns to seal the deal.
The 22-year-old duly delivered, but even then six minutes remained and Gloucester could not ease off.
Instead the Cherry and Whites did exactly what Exeter had in battering to their try – Davies' men just ground through pick-and-go and one-out drives as though rugby offers nothing else.
Even the backs got in on the act, Billy Twelvetrees and Mike Tindall taking short balls to keep the play in the Exeter half.
One false move could have gifted Exeter a penalty, but Gloucester remained impressively precise – right up until the last play of the game.
Exeter knew they had to keep the ball alive and attack from their own 22.
But on the second phase they knocked on, and that was that.
Not half as pretty as they wanted, but in the fullness of time and this season's greater context, this win could prove among the most important.
Gloucester's Christmas present is a top-four Premiership berth.
Whatever the ingenuity, they must appreciate that superlative industry remains the cornerstone.
EXETER CHIEFS: L Arscott (I Mieres, 70-74), G Camacho, I Whitten, J Shoemark, M Jess, G Steenson, H Thomas, B Sturgess, S Alcott (N Alcott, 62), H Tui (C Rimmer, 61), A Muldowney, J Hanks (T Hayes, 62), D Mumm, J Scaysbrook (capt) (B White, 74), R Baxter. Unused: B Moon, K Barrett, S Naqelevuki.

Hey Paris Hilton – lighten up! The eternal celebutante has openly said her ditzy airhead reputation was an "act," so she should actually be impressed by this billboard which pokes fun at her persona. Media5 agency in New Zealand used a photo of Paris, plus the succinct caption "Vacant" to promote some spare ad space.
We think it's inspired, but Hilton's manager Jamie Freed has failed to see the joke, and is planning on settling the matter in court because they don't have permission to use the picture. "Paris has a proven ability to laugh at herself. We're not trying to offend anyone," says Adam Freeland of Media 5 .

Collection Title: Blakeslee Lane, Inc. (BLI)
Inclusive Dates: 1930-1966
Size: 1.5 linear feet
Scope and Contents:
Photographic prints and negatives (including five glass plates) of Baltimore buildings, monuments, street scenes and panoramas.
Historical Note:
Blakeslee-Lane, Inc. was founded during the Great Depression by two newspaper photographers, George Walton Blakeslee, Sr. and Horace P. Lane. Blakeslee and Lane opened a studio at 106 East Pleasant Street in 1931, selling photographs at a flat rate to their former employer, the Baltimore News.
In addition to illustrating news stories, the studio supplied photographs for advertising copy and soon gained the trade of the city's major department stores: Hecht's, Hutzler's, Stewart's and Hochschild-Kohn. As a result of their success, they moved to 343 St. Paul Street and took on a third partner, Theodore C. Andersen. After World War II, the studio became a Midtown fixture at 916 North Charles Street.
In addition to its traditional work, the studio created large-scale mural versions of regional photography to decorate restaurants, banks and other businesses.
Custodial History:
The collection was donated to the University of Baltimore in 1980.

Starting in 2015, students who take the ACT, the nation's leading college readiness assessment, will receive new scores and indicators designed to improve readiness and help students plan for the future in areas important to success after high school, such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and career readiness. These new indicators are among several innovations that ACT will introduce, including an enhanced writing test.
The new indicators will be reported to students in addition to the traditional ACT scores and ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. The indicators will describe student performance and predicted readiness levels in categories such as STEM, career readiness, English language arts and text complexity, giving students a greater and more specific understanding of both their preparation for success after high school and how to better meet their goals. This will, in turn, better inform teaching, planning and decision making.
In addition, ACT plans to enhance the scoring and approach of the optional ACT Writing Test, offering more insights to help students become college and career ready. Students' essays will be evaluated on four domains of writing competency: ideas and analysis, development and support, organization, and language use. The test will measure students' ability to evaluate multiple perspectives on a complex issue and generate their own analysis based on reasoning, knowledge and experience. This will allow students to more fully demonstrate their analytical writing ability.
"We are constantly seeking ways to bring new and innovative features to our customers," said Jon Erickson, ACT president of education and career solutions. "Our goal is to continuously improve. These research- and evidence-based enhancements are designed to keep our products relevant and helpful. They will be introduced gradually and thoughtfully, so our customers don't experience radical changes."
ACT has previously announced other new developments the organization plans to deliver over the next few years, including a computer-based version of the ACT test and optional constructed-response questions. The digital ACT and constructed-response tests will be offered as options to select schools that participate in state and district testing starting in 2015. The computer-based ACT was successfully piloted in April with approximately 4,000 high school students across the United States.
The familiar 1-to-36 scores on the ACT will not change and will still be reported. The new readiness indicators will supplement those scores, giving students, parents and educators more detailed insights so that they may better plan for future success.
The readiness indicators include:
ACT will also add new reporting categories in 2016. The new categories will align with the Common Core State Standards domains and conceptual categories.
"The ACT will continue to be the tried-and-true achievement exam that students, colleges and states have trusted for more than 50 years," said Wayne Camara, ACT senior vice president of research. "We are simply expanding the information that we provide to give students a better, clearer map of the road to success. We are focused on helping the individual student. Our ongoing goal is to offer a wider range of relevant, personalized insights to each test taker." For more information and FAQs—and to sign up for updates on progress and new developments—please visit www.act.org/actnext.
ACT is a mission-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people achieve education and workplace success. Headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa, ACT is trusted as the nation's leader in college and career readiness, providing high-quality achievement assessments grounded in more than 50 years of research and experience. ACT offers a uniquely integrated set of solutions that help people succeed from elementary school through career, providing insights that unlock potential.

Yao guai tunnels
Fallout 3 locations project
This article is within the scope of the Fallout 3 locations project. This project is dedicated to standardizing Fallout 3 location articles. If you want to participate, please check the project page.
|For the other yao guai den, see yao guai cave.
Yao guai tunnels
The yao guai tunnels are located due west of the Charnel house, and northwest of Smith Casey's Garage. The entrance is a chain-link fence door in a rocky outcrop. As the name suggests, the caves are inhabited by a large number of yao guai.
Background[edit | edit source]
Wastelanders settled in these caves for at least one month. The caves provided shelter for them against raiders, but didn't help much against the yao guai that already made their den there.[1]

Section needed
This section is needed but has not been written yet. You can help The Vault by writing it.
Bobblehead location[edit | edit source]
To find the Bobblehead - Sneak, you will enter facing east, continue traveling generally eastward until you see yao guai run across your path from left to right (this is a scripted event, and the yao guai will not be targetable in V.A.T.S., but not necessarily on 360). If you have the animal friend perk, this event is different: the yao guai will stand instead of rushing right to left. At this intersection, marked by a lantern on your left and an overturned bathtub on your right, turn left (north). Continue on this path to a Nuka-Cola Quantum on a table, and turn right (east) there. Continue on this path until reaching a cavern with two exits leading south. Follow either path generally southward, past a stop sign and a downed chain link fence, to the entrance into the yao guai den. Once inside the den, walk straight ahead to the central pillar (not the one in the small room with all the skeletons, keep going into large open area), and then head to the left. Immediately look for the natural stone ramp that leads along the eastern edge of the cavern, overlooking a crescent-shaped pool of water. At the base of the ramp (directly behind pillar with dead wastelander in the hole up high) is a metal box with the bobblehead standing on top of it.
Enclave outpost[edit | edit source]
After the quest "Waters of Life" you will find an Enclave camp directly east of this position. They usually are all dead and can be found around the camp, with clear signs of a struggle all around. They may have been studying the yao guai for ways to control them similar to the Enclave deathclaws, or may have simply not known about the yao guai den when they set up the outpost. Also, a Vertibird has been known to land nearby (or other mini-encounter involving Enclave soldier(s) happen).
Notable loot[edit | edit source]
- There is a Pre-War book on the picnic table just as you enter the tunnels.
- There is a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum on a table near a radio, on the way to get the Bobblehead - Sneak (see below).
- There is also a large stash of ammunition, including frag mines, found at the point where the yao guai runs from left to right in front of you, simply turn right (where the yao guai goes) and it's all on a large shelving unit.
- Floating in the pool of water next to the bobblehead is a settler's corpse containing the Yao Guai den note about setting up camp in the tunnels.
- In the southern section of the Yao Guai tunnels there is a Grognak the Barbarian book along with a dead raider on ledge directly in front of the one-way exit out of the yao guai den. You cannot reach this from the tunnel floor, you must travel through the den and exit by the ledge.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- There is a random encounter spawn just north of the entrance.
- A note called "yao guai den" can be found on a wastelander's corpse stating they were building a settlement in the den and had blocked it off from the rest of the tunnels. However the location of several raiders' bodies suggest the barrier was breached which may have accidentally let the yao guai in.
- The ledge where you can find a dead raider (near the exit from the yao guai den in the yao guai tunnels) can be accessed by stacking objects up. This can allow one to get into this entrance to the den, skipping much of the level.
- There is also another dead settler on a column, just north by northwest of the Bobblehead. If the player climbs onto the metal shelving and jump up, the "Search" option will appear momentarily and so the settler can be searched. You can also use a barrel to climb, or explosives to knock her down. She usually carries a scoped .44 magnum or a 10mm pistol.
- It is recommended that lower level characters take the Animal Friend perk due to yao guai being a tough enemy. Alternatively, it is possible to get the Bobblehead and get out undetected with about 2 Stealth Boys.
- Upon entering the yao guai tunnels there is a picnic table with a lunchbox and chessboard (among other things) on the right, a short distance down the path. Behind this, there is a wall of sandbags. To climb over the sandbags and get the loot, use the coffee brewer on the table to get enough height to jump over. There are various foods on the shelves, a dead wastelander, and a couple of cabinets that can be searched.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
The yao guai tunnels appear only in Fallout 3.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- Targeting the first yao guai that runs across the screen at the start of the cave (it has no AI and disappears after it is first seen) in V.A.T.S. can cause the game to freeze.
- The Enclave camp may not be around until you go into the caves and back out again.
- While climbing up the natural stone ramp by the Bobblehead, the game might act like you are walking/swimming in water.

Working at the Radcliff Ranch
Note from PW: I received quite a few more advice questions yesterday and I'm still working on answering several of them, so the Dear PW installment will post tomorrow instead. Meanwhile, my beloved has written a post about his trip to Kansas yesterday. Take it away, honey!
Post and photos by Marlboro Man.
Yesterday three of the kids and I went to Kansas, near the town of Dexter, to a ranch my brother Tim and I lease. This was our second time up there over the past week, because our trip up there last Wednesday was rained out.
We wanted to work the cattle, but we couldn't do it in the rain, so we just sat in the vehicles and waited to see if it would stop while also praying it wouldn't because we need all the rain we can get. The kids prayed it wouldn't because they wanted to keep on napping.
It took us an hour of waiting through on again-off again rain before we finally called it off and drove the hour back home. It had been awhile since we'd called off a working due to rain, and the kids were ecstatic. Little did they know that it wasn't raining at home, so when we got back to the ranch, we were still able to put in a full day's work.
So yesterday we had our redo and it was a beautiful morning.
Gathering cattle at sunrise on a pretty morning is the best part of our job.
The scenery on the Radcliff is incredible. It's a beautiful ranch. The kids wanted to go water skiing on this pond.
It's a Flint Hills ranch like ours, but the draws and valleys are much more pronounced.
Our mornings don't get much better than that.
Todd said he could have done without the 4:30 start time, but other than that it was all good.
We bought these cows last year and they're a little flighty. As soon as they saw us, they started running for the back side.
But as an old cowboy who used to work for us used to say, "They can't get away—there's an ocean on both sides."
After we stopped the cows, we brought them back…
Pushing them across the draw they'd just run through…
To join the other cows who hadn't run off.
When you get cows like this, it's always a good idea to get ahold of them or gather them together and hold them tightly without letting any of them run off.
This'll teach them who's boss.
To do this right, you need a pretty good crew of cowboys. Everyone needs to ride up and pay close attention.
Fortunately, Tim and I are getting there with our crew. In the early years, it was definitely more work to take the kids with us. A lot of mornings, it would have been much easier just to saddle one horse instead of four or five, and leave the kids at home. But on days like yesterday, we get to reap the benefits of that early training, as the kids do as good a job of gathering cattle as most grown men.

What a wonderful gift to give you & your family, time on this beautiful, peaceful ranch. Thank you all for sharing these pictures & info. I live in South Florida, it is as flat as a pancake down here. I did live in Nashville, TN for 4 years, but I would love to visit/live that part of God's country. Until then, I'll look for more pics from the Drummond family. (P.S.-Your cookbooks are the best. I have "Pioneer Woman Cooks" and use it all the time because the pictures in it make it so much easier).

I so admire and envy your lifestyle! I grew up with horses, not on our property, but 'pasteured' elsewhere. We (my brother and sister) LOVED having the freedom and adventure to roam around and/or compete in barrel racing. Today ( almost 40 years later) I am a school counselor for a middle school and absolutely LOVE my job. But when I read your blog I can't help but feel nostalgic. Thank you for that! Even though I live in a small city in Upstate New York, I can still feel the horse beneath me and remember the ups and downs of being a cowgirl just looking at your pictures and blogs.

Absolutely beautiful pics MM. We've never been to that part of the country; these pics makes us want to leave today!

Thanks for the great photos and commentary. I love the beautiful open area and the Flint Hills. Great job with the family and friends.
Allison On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:19 pm
I've lived in Kansas my whole life and I think it's the most beautiful state ever (I know I'm probably biased)! I don't know why people thing it's nothing but flatness! Thanks for sharing these awesome pictures!
Lynne H On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:22 pm
Thanks for the great pictures and information. I read western books and its always nice to have visual reference.
Gloria Landry On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:27 pm
thanks for sharing MM! Awesome!:)
Denise in VA On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:28 pm
Very pretty! with all the karst (limestone in/on the ground?) it looks like parts of West Virginia. But I agree, poor footing for the horses–
Love your posts, MM.
Kat Prince On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:35 pm
How wonderful for you to tell of your work days! It's fascinating to see the photos of the land, animals and people. Thank you for sharing!
cathy On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:39 pm
Made me feel like I was right there . . . beautiful. I'm so jealous!!!
Judy J On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:43 pm
Thank you for the beautiful views, just what my eyes needed after a day in the law office!
Pamala On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:45 pm
Hi, Ladd, this morning they did a piece on wild horses of the west on the "Today Show". What is your opinion of the controversy on whether to let them be free, or try to control the population by trapping them in containment facilities?
judith On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:48 pm
And… those well trained kids work for a lot less than a cowboy. That is until you send them off to college. Your cattle working posts make me miss those days working cattle as a kid on my uncle's ranch in Gene Autry.
Ree2myfolks2 On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:50 pm
Thanks so much for the beautiful Flint Hills photos, MM! Oh, how I miss them! When I tell people that I'm from Kansas they almost always comment that I'm from "the flat land." These photos will help illustrate how flat our part of the prairie is NOT! I hope that ranch works out for you and Tim.
SD Ranchwife On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:54 pm
I enjoyed this post but have to say I am very jealous. We would love to be rained out for a day. Worked cows all morning to send to Montana for summer pasture so we sure hope they can stay awhile. That running water is a sight to bestow! Hope you all have a good summer with grass belly high and plenty of cool clear water. Meanwhile we will be praying for rain!
Kim On Tuesday, May 14 at 7:00 pm
I will be praying that you get some rain too. We have had rain here in north central Kansas but could use some more to fill up the ponds and help the grass.
Kim On Tuesday, May 14 at 6:58 pm
Gorgeous! My husband and I probably drove past that ranch on our way back from Dewey to pick up some fence. It was a beautiful trip…except for the flat tire my husband had to change on Hwy 166. I hope we get to make that drive again.
DebCobb On Tuesday, May 14 at 7:01 pm
Great post! Never heard "draw" in this context…thanks for sharing & teaching me something new!

That is sure a pretty ranch. Flighty or not, cows are so adorable.

Beautiful place! Loved seeing the pics and reading about your day!
Lorri H On Tuesday, May 14 at 7:48 pm
Beautiful pictures along with a great summary. But most of all I love how you always praise your children, all of them. The whole lot of you parents have my utmost respect, as do those hard working kids! They are something to be proud of
leslie (crookedstamper) On Tuesday, May 14 at 7:49 pm
Like I tell Ree, I love the wide open out there. So beautiful And I'm still laughing over "They can't get away—there's an ocean on both sides." HA!
Sue Q On Tuesday, May 14 at 7:57 pm
Beautiful pics!! I didn't know Kansas could be so pretty. Its nice to read your ranch stuff…it reminds me of when I was growing up! Thanx

We would all like to be there. Just once-
JoniC from Pioneertown Ca. On Tuesday, May 14 at 8:18 pm
Have always love the thought of living on a ranch. In my other life I would like to be a cowgirl. Love all the insight into the ranching process. The land, the children,and of course Ree's cooking. I'm married to a farmers son from Mossouri and he is a meat and potatoes man. I really enjoy all of your posts.
Dan's wife On Tuesday, May 14 at 8:44 pm
Glory….there is hope for the world, after all.
I wonder if our heavenly father feels the same wy about his kids???
Rachel J On Tuesday, May 14 at 8:45 pm
Love your post. How could you not love being in such beautiful country. I find your posts fascinating. I love learning about how you all raise and care for your cattle.
Monica On Tuesday, May 14 at 8:48 pm
I adore you all! Thank you so much for sharing your day to day!!
gigiann On Tuesday, May 14 at 9:01 pm
Awesome post! Enjoyed reading about ranching and the photos top it!
Jane On Tuesday, May 14 at 9:10 pm
My family (and I) lived north of Dexter for several years, before moving to southeast Oklahoma. I remember the Radcliff's, as they had land that joined us and then there was another place south and west of Dexter. . . if I remember correctly. Your photos make me homesick!! It certainly is beautiful country, has good grass and yes the ponds are great for water sports for kids!! (Ice hockey in the winter.) Thank you for sharing! Jane Custer Tucker
Julie from Texas On Tuesday, May 14 at 9:13 pm

Loved the shots with the horse's ears in them.
Minnesota Red On Tuesday, May 14 at 9:24 pm
Congratulations on such hard working kids; they may not know it yet, but they sure are blessed to be doing it all with family. I'm sure their hearts will be warmed by your well balanced praise. Happy trails to all of you!

did I see your dad, MM, in the saddle? herding cattle? great job, you all.

PR On Tuesday, May 14 at 11:23 pm
Hi Ree, I am an avid follower/fan and just yesterday read your Q & A. I noticed the Q about where you purchase your tops cause they are always so fetching and cool. I filed their name away in my mind to google their website later. And just 24 hours later I was in the Chestnut Hill Mall in MA w my sister and her daughter when I spied Soft Surroundings. I was like, huh? Ree said it was online and I just heard the name 24 hours ago and now here it is, huh???.
I blurted out while purchasing my 3 new items to the store clerk, how I learned of it. She said I was the 2nd person today to mention PW, and she said who is PW any hoo? I quickly got her up to speed! It was meant to be! Thank you!!! Btw, Soft Surroundings is my new guilty pleasure!!! xoxo

Are you hiring? I'm not afraid of hard work!
Thank you for sharing!
Lenore Reitz On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:20 am
Shared your photos with my husband and all he could say was…WOW!! Every september we make an exodus to Colorado to escape the heat of the Tulsa summer. The Kansas we drive through on our trip never looks like this!
Stillmeadow Farm On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:24 am
I agree with you on that early training. My kids were with us while working from the time they were born. By the time they were 12 they could do about anything. Now in their teens and early 20's, they can run the whole show. I have lived a blessed life!
Donna On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:30 am
Beautiful country – blessings on both sides!
Squanatumgirl On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:50 am
Great post Ladd. Thanks for sharing another slice of your life with us. As a girl from the east coast I'm wondering what a "flint hills ranch" is?
Patti On Wednesday, May 15 at 8:01 am
Beautiful! We're so blessed.
Sandra from WA On Wednesday, May 15 at 8:37 am
I sure like the pictures, they really tell a wonderful story.
Thanks for adding them.
Kim in Scio On Wednesday, May 15 at 9:17 am
"Little did they know it wasn't raining at home…" LOVE IT! We live on a small farm (100 acres) and are also to the point that the hours of letting our son "help" when he was younger are paying off in a kid who is a great deal of help. Thanks for sharing MM!
Dawn Waldman On Wednesday, May 15 at 9:19 am
Just wanted to thank you for sharing the pictures and telling this story. Very interesting!
Nina On Wednesday, May 15 at 9:47 am
Great pictures and great post! Thanks MM!

such great memories! gotta get out there early before the mommas put those babies down and you can't find them!!
Jesslyn On Wednesday, May 15 at 9:59 am
The benefits of early training are pretty much universal. Great pics!

Penny Lulich On Wednesday, May 15 at 10:05 am
You know, it's just about the coolest thing to know that somewhere in this crazy technical world, there live cowboys and cowgirls who spend their days working the ranch. It just gives a renewed sense of "realness" to the world, and I think that's why it's so important that you keep on doing what you do, and posting about it. I, for one, am grateful for you and your family. You show all of us the values we once embraced so tightly in this country. Thanks.
Maria D. On Wednesday, May 15 at 10:32 am
Great pictures of the ranch and the help:)
Suzette On Wednesday, May 15 at 10:49 am
I want to be a cowboy!
Dana On Wednesday, May 15 at 11:01 am
Okay, so this might make you laugh.
When I read your post about black cows with "big calves" I automatically thought, what in the world does a cow look like that has big calves and do they breed them like that now for better or more meat? Calves (like the part on your leg behind your shin), not calves like baby cows! (Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself!)
Surely I am not the only person that read this article that thought this, right?
Alane Tibbitts Sleight On Wednesday, May 15 at 11:07 am
I am a former cowgirl that worked hard for my dad on our ranch. Those early mornings out on horseback were the BEST…the smell of crisp air, horse underneath me and doing something that I knew was important? PRICELESS…..
Linda G. On Wednesday, May 15 at 11:28 am
Bravo to you! Great post and great pics!

May I just say that it cracks me up that Ree got 153 comments on her post yesterday, and you have upwards of 260! Go MM!
Amanda M On Wednesday, May 15 at 1:30 pm
Thank you for investing in your family, in your children. This was beautiful to read/see, and made my heart swell a bit.
Pam D On Wednesday, May 15 at 1:46 pm
Great kids…great parents…shame all kids aren't able to experience that life for at least a short time. Good job, mom and dad.
Deanne On Wednesday, May 15 at 2:05 pm
Always enjoy your posts. Glad you are letting the world know what a wonderful life we have out here in the Osage. Teaching your kids to work cattle with good horses, good men, and good habits is one of the best things you can do for them. It builds character and confidence even if it is at 4:30 a.m. Good job Dad.
Lindie On Wednesday, May 15 at 2:19 pm
I have come to see the beauty in the Flint Hills. I have driven through it many times. I love seeing your working ranch hands too.

Deborah On Thursday, May 16 at 8:54 am
These posts are so enjoyable. Being a city girl I find all the work you do quite interesting, especially what happens with the kids. The best was the comment from the old cowboy about the cows running away.
Thanks for the post.
Haley On Thursday, May 16 at 9:00 am
Ha! I know Dexter! Used to help my dad gather cattle down there too. We live north of it, tho. Brings back wonderful memories of rising early to help my dad ride pasture when I was a teenager. I loved it when the guys would say that I was getting good enough that they sometimes forgot I was a girl! High praise, indeed!
melinda On Thursday, May 16 at 9:41 am
We've had the blessing of living close to the Flint Hills in Kanas for about 5 years now. The area makes me swoon. It is the last of the great grassland prairies. I think everyone should see them and experience another place in time–the smells, the sounds, the motion of the prairie grasses and that sky—there are really no words.
Thank you for sharing this well kept secret part of the world with everyone!

I grew up in Dexter and know the Radcliffs and it was so great to see pictures of home.
Thanks, Melesa
Robin On Thursday, May 16 at 4:47 pm
The last part of MM's post exudes pride in his children. What a gift- and encouragement for reaping the rewards of early training. Thank you for the encouragement!
Homeschool on the Croft On Thursday, May 16 at 5:08 pm
We have a saying in Gaelic which (roughly translated into English) says something like, 'If you train them at the the knee, you wont need to train them at the shoulder'. I guess that's what you are getting the benefit of now.
These kids are great. Really, really great.
Mai On Thursday, May 16 at 11:41 pm
You take such amazing pictures!
Ruby Ash On Friday, May 17 at 7:26 am
Dear PW and Marlboro Man: what's the definition of a "draw." Is it a hill? Or a valley? Or the spots in between the hill and valley? I've never been able to find a good definition.
Love your blog!
Kanika On Friday, May 17 at 12:43 pm
Thanks a lot for sharing and being a window to your part of the world…..always lived in a city….your posts are very informative and i love reading them….thank you very much….and the photos are just awesome
Jackie On Friday, May 17 at 3:29 pm
Interestingly enough, I just finished a book (called Lost & Found) that was set on a cattle ranch in Montana, so these photos are incredibly relevant right now. They are also incredibly beautiful!
Christine Mack - Grass Range MT On Friday, May 17 at 3:54 pm
Great Post! We grow rocks on our place as well.
Forest Perea On Friday, May 17 at 5:37 pm
How wonderful that your kids get to go to work with dad often. Yes they may grumble and grouch about the early start but as you probably know the memories of spending time with you and the rest of the family will last a lifetime. You are able to not just teach but show.
Melody On Saturday, May 18 at 10:35 am
Gotta say thanks MM and PW. I live in Denver but was born and raised in Kansas City. One of my favorite areas of all times is the Flint Hills drives and rides west and south of us. You know that people who talk about Kansas and Oklahoma being flat and featureless haven't really explored much – or just aren't paying attention! Thanks for the pictures.
Amy M. On Saturday, May 18 at 12:16 pm
Thank you for the pictures. I miss driving through this part of Kansas. I went to K-State and never got tired of driving through the Flint Hills.
Valerie from AZ On Saturday, May 18 at 6:29 pm
MM, I enjoy reading your posts and thanks for the beautiful pictures.
Ann K in WI On Sunday, May 19 at 5:39 am
Thank you MM I live these cowboy I site posts. They are so interesting. Being a farmers granddaughter I would rather be outside all day than siting behind my desk. These are such a treat to read after a long indoor day.
Jennifer On Monday, May 20 at 10:34 am
Good for this transplanted-to-Seattle Kansas girl's heart to see photos of the Flint Hills!
Alissa On Thursday, May 23 at 4:52 pm
Such beautiful country you've got there. Ever thought of opening the property up for hikers?
Stevie Luplow On Thursday, May 23 at 11:46 pm
I absolutely love your posts! I love seeing all the pictures and reading all about your life.
Your life was the kind I dreamed of for many many years. I would've loved to have even had a small farm, but it didn't happen, and I'm good with that now that I'm a little older. I have new challenges and a very different life than I ever could've imagined for myself. Everything I go through is completely worth it when I look at my two little munchkins though
Marilyn Yates On Sunday, June 9 at 11:49 am
I too love your posts about the goings on of a working ranch. I have been a country girl at heart since I was small. I would beg my parents to move to the country but my mother was tired of living on a farm. So, I would dream that someday a cowboy with a ranch would come riding into my life and rescue me until I finally woke up and realized it wasn't going to happen. Keep the posts and pictures coming.

It's an issue near and dear to lawyers' hearts: when can they be sued for their clients' bad acts?
Lawyers usually are considered mere secondary actors, largely immune from liability — a principle espoused by the Supreme Court as recently as its 2008 Stoneridge ruling.
The Third Circuit yesterday continued the lawyerly love, ruling that scorned investors of Diagnostic Ventures, a health-care company, cannot bring a securities fraud class action against legal giant Clifford Chance, the AmLaw Litigation Daily reports. (Here's the opinion.)
The plaintiffs in the case claimed that a Clifford Chance partner advised DVI not to disclose that its auditor had identified weaknesses in the company's internal controls; instead, Clifford Chance allegedly devised a "workaround" to avoid disclosure, according to the Lit Daily. The DVI plaintiffs claimed that . . . Read More »
Since he arrived in the Senate last year, Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken has done everything possible to pose as a colorless, provincial backbencher, rather than the provocative satirist whose piercing wit made his political career possible in the first place.
But after limiting most appearances to home-state audiences and confining interviews to the local press, the junior senator returned to a national stage Thursday night, with a rip-roaring address to a liberal legal group that previewed Democratic themes for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings later this month.
Noting that he lacked the legal credentials of previous speakers to American Constitution Society gatherings, Franken said "tonight I guess we'll finally get an answer to the question, 'What do [Supreme Court Justice] Stephen Breyer, [Harvard law professor] Laurence Tribe and Al Franken have in common?'
"Other than: 'They were all in the front row when the Dead played the Garden back in '71.'"
But most kidding aside, Franken said that liberals should seize back the constitutional "narrative" . . . Read More »
It's a question near and dear to lawyers' hearts: Should shareholders be allowed to sue them for aiding and abetting alleged securities fraud by public companies?
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter thinks so, and he thinks accountants and other aiders and abettors should be on the hook too.
He and other senators have proposed adding an amendment to the major Wall Street reform bill in the Senate that would allow private civil actions against anyone who "knowingly provides substantial assistance" to a primary violator of securities laws. Here's the text of the amendment.
At issue is the famous 2007 Stoneridge case — or at least famous in these parts — in which the Supreme Court ruled that shareholders can't sue third parties, such as lawyers and accountants, for aiding fraud by public companies.
Specter earlier introduced a stand alone bill to overturn Stoneridge, as we noted here. But that bill has gotten bogged down, so Specter is trying an alternate . . . Read More »
The Journal's SEC reporter, Kara Scannell, sent along this post on a new congressional bill that could give plaintiffs lawyers — especially those who file shareholder fraud suits — a shot in the arm.
Plaintiffs' lawyers could gain a new line of business, if a bill backed by three Democratic Senators moves forward.
Sen. Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania lawmaker who recently flipped to Democrat from Republican, introduced a bill on July 30 that, if passed, would reverse the Supreme Court's 2007 Stoneridge decision and expand the number of entities shareholders can sue in corporate fraud cases.
The legislation is already attracting strong reaction from the trial bar and big business. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business lobby, opposes the bill. Lisa A. Rickard, president of the Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform, said, "Greatly expanding private securities class action lawsuits will only slow our economic recovery, drag down investors' portfolios and retirement accounts, and delay the creation of much needed new jobs."
Dan Newman, a spokesman for the large plaintiffs firm Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins countered: "For our economy and our financial markets to thrive, corporations must be held accountable when they commit fraud."
The stakes are high. If the bill is adopted or added to the broader regulatory reform package it could be a boon for the trial bar and a headache for advisers. Lawmakers . . . Read More »
The law firm Mayer Brown got itself out of some hot water Tuesday, but not before enduring some harsh words from Manhattan federal judge Gerard Lynch (whose name has, incidentally, surfaced as a possible Second Circuit appointee by President Obama).
On Tuesday, Lynch dismissed claims against Mayer Brown and partner Joseph Collins, who represented Refco before and during its 2005 IPO. A group of plaintiff shareholders had alleged that Mayer Brown . . . Read More »
We've done a handful of posts in recent weeks on Supreme Court justices recusing themselves from cases due to stock holdings. (Click here and here.)

With their pro-business jurisprudence, the justices may be capturing an emerging spirit of agreement among liberal and conservative elites about the value of free markets.

This morning's papers highlight the Supremes decision yesterday to turn away an appeal from Enron shareholders seeking to recover losses from Wall Street banks.

American Classics: Vanilla Ice Cream Soda
Back when my hometown pharmacy had a soda fountain, my favorite thing to order was the vanilla ice cream soda: fizzy soda water straight from the fountain, vanilla syrup, a splash of milk, and a couple generous scoops of ice cream. Luckily with very little effort you can make an awesome ice cream soda in your own kitchen. More

Isoetes biafrana was described by former Museum scientist Arthur Hugh Alston in 1956, and the type specimen is held in the Museum's cryptogamic herbarium, as are several other specimens of Isoetes biafrana.
It is only found in 2 localities in west Africa in seasonal pools, springs and submerged at lake margins.
Like many species in tropical countries, Isoetes biafrana is only known from a very small area. Now, approximately 50 years after it was first described, it is threatened with extinction.
Isoetes is a genus of small, often aquatic, plants collectively known as quillworts because of the hollow base to their leaves, like a quill.
They look like short tufts of tough grass, although in fact they are not flowering plants at all, but are the modern-day survivors of a group of plants that was previously more diverse, and much more dominant, many millions of years ago.
Isoetes plants look like short tufts of tough grass and their fossil record dates back to the Triassic Period. Find out what gives them their common name, the quillworts.
Isoetes biafrana is only known from 2 localities in west Africa and is often found submerged at lake margins. Find out what threatens its survival.
