Sunday January 8, 2012WBB's Late Rally Falls Short Against South Carolina, 49-44
Gainesville, Fla.
Jennifer George posted her eighth consecutive double-double.
Florida nearly overcame a woeful first half and a 17-point deficit, but missed a couple crucial defensive rebounds in the final minutes in a 49-44 loss to South Carolina Sunday afternoon at the Stephen C. OConnell Center.
The loss overshadowed another stellar individual effort by junior forward Jennifer George (Orlando, Fla.), who posted 16 points and 11 rebounds along with a season-high six blocks for her eighth consecutive double-double, a run tied for the fourth longest in UF history and the longest of its kind since Murriel Pages record-setting 13-game streak during the 1997-98 season.
After George hit a layup and brought Florida within one point, 13-12, with 9:18 remaining in the first half, South Carolina mounted a 18-2 run over the next 8:38 and took a 31-14 lead, handing the Gators a 17-point deficit, their largest of the season, surpassing the 15-point hole UF found itself midway through the second half of a 14-point loss to Rutgers on Dec. 2.
Jordan Jones (Suwanee, Ga.) hit one free throw with 38 seconds remaining to end 11 straight points by the Gamecocks, as Florida was held without a field goal for the final 9:18 of the half and entered the halftime locker room trailing, 31-15.
The 15 points were the third fewest UF has scored in the first half of an SEC regular-season game, as South Carolina managed to convert 14 Gator turnovers into 13 points. The Gators hit only 30.4 percent (7-23) from the floor during the opening half, while turning the ball over 14 points.
"You have to give South Carolina a lot of credit with the way that first half went, UF coach Amanda Butler said. That wasn't the story of the game, but it definitely set the tone and I give credit to them because we didn't come out ready to take care of our home floor and in this league it doesn't make any difference who you're playing, you're going to get punched in the mouth if you are not ready to go from the first whistle.
It was a fortunate series of events that put Florida (11-5, 1-2 SEC) in a situation to win a game that seemed far out of its reach heading into halftime. Despite the tumultuous start, the Gator defense limited the Gamecocks to seven points in the opening 10 minutes of the second half to keep the game within their reach.
George halted the Gamecock run in UFs first possession of the second half, dropping in a bucket down low 10 seconds into the frame, as the Gators ripped out of the halftime locker room scoring the first nine points, with six from George and a three-point play from Deana Allen (Houma, La.), who finished the game with nine points and a season-high 10 rebounds. That surge cut UFs deficit to eight points, 31-24, with 17:36 remaining, as South Carolina called a timeout to defuse the Gators momentum.
Markeshia Grant ended UFs run out of the timeout with a six-foot jumper in the paint, but George came right back with a fastbreak layup thanks to an assist from Jones and the Gators were back within seven points, 33-26, with 14:59 remaining.
LaKeisha Sutton then scored the next three points of the game and USCs lead returned to double-figures, 35-26. Aleighsa Welch tacked on two more points, as Florida went cold from the floor, missing four layups and a pair of three-point attempts while turning the ball over once, as the Gamecocks held a 38-27 lead with 9:26 remaining.
Jones hit two free throws during the stretch, but the second was waved off due to a lane violation, preventing the Gators from cutting the deficit to 10.
Grant scored another layup inside, before Jaterra Bonds (Gainesville, Fla.) drove hard and converted one for Florida.
Lily Svete (Granger, Ind.) connected on a 16-footer from straight away and Allen followed with a slashing layup and had Florida within eight points, 41-33, with 7:22 remaining.
Welch then converted a second-chance point for South Carolina, before Jones dropped in a floater and the Gators were again within eight with 6:23 on the clock.
George scored again at the 5:41 mark and Florida was within 43-37, before Ebony Wilson answered for USC.
Svete then nailed a three-pointer from the left corner in front of the Gator bench and had Florida within five points, 45-40, with 4:55 to go.
Allen collected a defensive rebound on the ensuing Gamecock possession and Florida called a timeout to set up an important try on its end of the floor.
Azania Stewart (Wood Green, England) was fouled, but missed the front end of the one-and-one. South Carolina, however, was whistled for traveling immediately after inbounding the ball and the Gators had another opportunity to get even closer.
Florida gave the ball right back to South Carolina, committing its 18th of 20 turnovers in the game.
The Gator defense held strong and forced a shot-clock violation, but missed its shot on the offensive end and SC corralled the loose ball.
The teams again traded turnovers without attempting a shot and USC took possession with 2:19 remaining.
Florida again forced a shot-clock violation and the nations second-ranked defense set up a full-court press. The Gators didnt have any problems bringing the ball down the court, but couldnt connect on its shot, as the Gamecocks secured the miss with 1:30 on the clock.
Florida set up a play with 47.8 seconds remaining, but missed two shots was forced to foul with 33 ticks, sending Grant to the free throw line, where she missed the front end of the 1-and-1.
George collected her 10th rebound of the game off the miss and then snared an offensive board at the other end of the floor, putting it back in and had Florida within three points, 45-42, with 21.8 seconds remaining.
UF called its final timeout and immediately fouled Welch, who missed the attempt, but Ieasia Sutton grabbed the offensive rebound and Florida was forced to foul again, this time Grant, who also missed the front end, but Charenee Stephens was there to put back the miss and gave SC a 45-42 lead.
Bonds quickly dropped in a layup and UF fouled Sutton, who calmly sank two free throws with 5.5 seconds and gave USC a 49-44 lead to end the games scoring as the Gamecocks (14-2, 3-0 SEC) held on for their eighth consecutive win.
Im proud of our fight in the second half and the position we put ourselves in, but we just didn't do what we needed to do to finish out the game and it is very disappointing, Butler said.
Grant and Sutton each scored 11 for USC, while Welch finished with 10 points for the Gamecocks, who won the rebounding battle 39-37, which included 16 on the offensive end to help offset a 5-of-13 performance at the free throw line.
Despite the lows, there were some individual highs for the Gators. George had her eighth consecutive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. The output pushes her up in the record book, as the run is now tied for fourth in school history with Quientella Bonner (1976-77) and Murriel Page (1997-98) with consecutive double-double performances.
Stewart also imprinted her name in the Florida record book when she blocked the 172nd shot of her career, swatting South Carolinas LaKeisha Sutton layup attempt at the 15:59 mark of the first half, as she is now tied for third alongside DeLisha Milton (172) for career blocked shots.
Both defenses put together strong performances, as both the Gators and Gamecocks were limited to season-low outputs of 44 and 49 points, respectively. The Gamecocks were previously limited to 50 points when they faced the Nittany Lions on Nov. 20, 2011.
"I thought they did a really good job pressuring the ball and that was certainly what we expected to happen, but we just couldn't handle it with composure and just knowing that would be the challenge and that was what we needed to be ready for, explained Butler
As a team, Florida bested South Carolina 10-2 in fast break points, and with a 32-30 production in the paint.
Throughout the 40 minutes of playing time, one thing is for certain - it was a back-and-forth production at the OConnell Center as the Gators committed miscues four times in just five minutes to start the game.
Despite the lack of offensive push down the court, the Gators maintained a 6-4 lead heading into the first media timeout, catapulted by Allen, who simultaneously earned her first start of the season, and put Florida on the boards first with a clean layup down the lane.
For over two minutes, the game remained without another scorer until South Carolinas Aleighsa Welch made a layup to tie up the game 6-6 and kick-off a both breakaway lead and catapult a 25-8 run for the Gamecocks and Florida failed to recover in the first half.
A fast break by Bonds seemed promising as she found her way down the court, but proved unproductive as she missed the shot that could have cut the Gators deficit by one point at a possible 15-14, but instead kept the score at 15-12. The Gamecocks took advantage of the failed attempt and strengthened their lead with a three from Markeshia Grant to put them up 18-12.
Florida remained scoreless for the final six minutes of action in the first half until Jones free throw made its way clearly through the net with 30 seconds remaining on the clock and set the score at 31-15.
The Gators return to action on Thursday, January 12 when they travel to Athens, Ga., to face the 16th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (12-3, 1-1 SEC) at Stegemen Coliseum beginning at 7 p.m. ET. The radio broadcast of the game can be heard live in Gainesville on WBXY-FM 99.5 The Star and via the internet at www.GatorZone.com, the official website of the Florida Gators.
The Lady Bulldogs defeated Auburn, 70-45, on Sunday afternoon in Auburn, Ala.
Game Notes
Floridas defense limited South Carolina to their lowest output of the season with 49 points. They were previously limited to 50 by Penn State on November 20, 2011.
UFs 15 points were its third-fewest ever in the first half of an SEC regular-season game
Florida used the starting lineup of Stewart, George, Bonds, Allen and Jones for the first time this season; UF had used the same lineup for the previous 13 games that included Bartley for Allen
Jennifer George had her eighth consecutive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. She is now tied for fourth in school history with Quientella Bonner (1976-77) and Murriel Page (1997-98) with consecutive double-double performances.
Deana Allen had a season-high, 10 rebounds with five offensive and five defensive catches off the board.
Azania Stewart blocked the 172nd shot of her career and is now tied for third alongside DeLisha Milton (172) for career-blocked shots.
It was the first time in 11 games that Jordan Jones failed to hit a three. Her 11-game streak is tied for 12th in school history alongside Sha Brooks (2006) and Talatha Bingham (1998); the streak was the third longest of her UF career
After winning eight consecutive home games, Florida has lost its last two in the OConnell Center
Head Coach Amanda Butler
Opening Statement
"You have to give South Carolina a lot of credit with the way that first half went. That wasn't the story of the game, but it definitely set the tone and I give credit to them because we didn't come out ready to take care of our home floor and in this league it doesn't make any difference who you're playing, you're going to get punched in the mouth if you are not ready to go from the first whistle.

On what caused a change in the offensive plan of going inside to Jennifer George
"I thought they did a really good job pressuring the ball and that was certainly what we expected to happen, but we just couldn't handle it with composure and just knowing that would be the challenge and that was what we needed to be ready for. We felt like we had an advantage on the low block and that was what the game plan was and you have to credit their defense for taking some of those looks away."
On other places to get offensive production other than Jennifer George
"I think her post partners need to help her out, in particular we need Azania Stewart to help her out and we need her to step up and make some plays on the offensive end. I think she knows she has got more to give on the offensive end and I think it is distributed throughout the team and we have got to give ourselves second chances on offense and more perimeter rebounding. On top of what (Jennifer) George said, we have got to finish shots and we had some good looks, but we have to knock them down and we can do that better."
Junior Forward Jennifer George
On what the team can improve on
"I think finishing consistently with contact and even though they aren't calling the fouls we still have to be able to finish."
South Carolina Head Coach Dawn Staley
On the style of play that led to their run late in the first half
We come into the basketball game trying to disrupt the flow of the offense. It was just a matter of time before we were able to disrupt them and we were able to do that at the end of the first half. We made a couple of substitutions and our defense picked up and it led to some easy baskets. It wasnt anything pretty but certainly we will take the win.
On their style of play
Thats something that weve been doing for the last 15 games. We try to disrupt to the point where, even though people may shoot a high percentage on us, we dont allow you to take as many shots as you want to take. For us, we like the scores low so the only thing that we can bank on is how good we play defense.
On if she sees her team being ranked in the polls after this win
Probably. I think that the people who are poll watchers would have us in, but at this time its really early in the season. From our end, if we do get ranked, its a great tribute to our program, a great tribute to former players who helped us get to this point because weve been on the other side of this for quite some time now. Id welcome it, but it really wont define us because we have a lot more left in the season.

Taylor said as we could see the whitecaps starting to form on the Lake. The church bells were tolling over Riva as we swerved around the guard and slid into a great park at the Yacht Club. The joys of arriving early, plenty of time to make the lunch too ...
Racing doesn't start until 1pm, with launching about an hour before the first start gun. There was more order in launching today but alot more breeze as well, some sailors struggled to get off the ramp with waves breaking over it.
Again Taylor and Oscar were in Red Flight, the third start. I had climbed a large hill to try and get a better view but still couldn't quite make out our boys for certain. By their body positions I thought I could spot them and that they had done well. This was confirmed when I joined up with the British parents with better eyes and binos. The boys had come in at seventh, a good, solid start.
The wind was around 20 knots and appeared to be building. It was from a slightly different direction which meant more cliff work. Afterwards the comment was that we were in the top three but tacked when conventional wisdom dictated was correct, but here we could have got more pressure from getting closer to the cliffs. The knowledge of this racing area is being built on race by race.
The second race wasn't the greatest of starts but sheer boat speed and power got them into second at the Top mark and a mistake by the Italians let the boys into the front and stay there. They extended each leg finishing probably 150 metres in front of the next boat, the red head Riley Brothers, whose parents I was sharing the view point with. The breeze was probably in the 22-23 knot range by then, hard work for the smaller and not so fit.
Tired but happy Campers back in the boat park.
For those who haven't seen the results, the boys are now in 18th (from 113) , well inside the Gold Fleet so far and the good thing is they have the largest 'drop' to come after the fifth race tomorrow. All going well, this should put them well up there.
Jim Saltenstall held another 420 Masterclass while we all munched on our after racing pasta. The Class start was delayed as the sailors, and more than a few of the coaches, were closely following the practice session of the regional Miss Italy pagent next door at the open air restaurant. The whistling and cat calls drowned everything out.
We have had rain and lots of wind so far tonight, but are hoping for more of the same great wind tomorrow. Taylor and Oscar have proved themselves up there with the best of them.
Glad everyone is enjoying the Postcards, many thanks for all the good wishes and as always, a huge thank you to our sponsors and supporters.
Make sure you check out the photos and video on the website
Happy sailing

H. S. Salt Esq1
Dear Sir
I was exceedingly pleased to receive the tract on the Game Laws by Mr Connell.2 It is excellently done and the preface by R. Buchanan3 is splendid. I hope now that you will be able to find some M.P. who will move an annual resolution for the Abolition of the Game Laws, as this tract will furnish all the necessary material for speeches for a good many years. Of course it will at first be a forlorn hope [[2]] but it will keep the subject before the public, which is much needed, and few people seem to be aware of the wide spread evils of these abominable anachronisms.
Such a motion would serve as a very good test of true liberalism or radicalism, and no candidate for parliament should be voted for who will not promise to support total repeal.
Believe me | Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace. [signature]
1. Henry Stephens Salt (1851-1939). English writer and social reform campaigner. Salt was an ethical vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, socialist and pacifist.

Four-time Olympian Jo Pavey has given birth to her second child, Emily
British distance runner Jo Pavey gave birth to her second child this week.
Emily Pavey was born in Exeter on Wednesday morning and joins her brother, Jacob, who was born in September 2009.
Proud dad Gavin told AW that Emily weighed 6lb 4oz at birth and "Jo and Emily are both fine and very happy".
One of the sport's most consistent championship performers, the mum-of-two hopes to finish her career in the marathon at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
A four-time Olympian, Pavey was 12th in the 5000m at the Sydney Olympics, improved to fifth at 5000m in Athens in 2004, then 12th in the 10,000m at the Beijing Games before superb seventh place finishes in the 5000m and 10,000m at London 2012 – the latter performances making her the leading non-African in both races.
The 39-year-old almost qualified for the marathon in the London Olympics, though, and has a best of 2:28:24.
Age is not on her side, but the West Country athlete believes it is possible given the fact she ran a 10,000m PB last year.
In addition, she plans to return for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and European Championships.

[0006] These nanotubes and nanostructures have many industrial applications such as in emitter materials and materials for hyperfine devices and they are expected to be important material to support the emerging "nanotechnology."
[0007] According to the previously noted articles, previously known nanostructures of such things as silicon and germanium which become semiconductors are manufactured using vapor deposition liquid phase solid phase (Vapor—Liquid—Solid, hereafter referred to as VLS). In addition, a method of manufacturing silicon nanowire with laser abrasion with semiconductor materials containing metals has been developed recently.
[0008] However, control of orientation of growth of nanowire manufactured with these methods is difficult. This nanowire becomes a wool-shaped structure, and it is difficult to manufacture nanofiber configured from numerous nanowires following particular axial directions. Because of this they had the disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain nanofibers with suitable configurations for material to be used in microelectronic devices.
[0009] On the other hand, methods of manufacturing orientation controlled nanofiber have been developed in recent years, for example, carbon nanotubes oriented on silicon carbide. These utilized the chemical decomposition reaction on the surface of a SiC wafer and when the SiO gas molecules generated in conjunction with the oxidation of the wafer surface bubble, the crystalline structure of the residual carbon changes and is reconfigured as a carbon nanotube film. However, this method produces many carbon nanotubes like "frost columns" and though they form a film, this method is based on the idea of eliminating silicon atoms from a substrate and not for causing carbon nanotubes to form on a substrate. In addition, this is a method for manufacturing over a wide area with mass-production in mind, and it is difficult to conceive of controlling manufacturing closely so that nanotubes can be made into fiber in desired units. Thus, even though orientation can be controlled somewhat this has the disadvantage that is it not something which would suggest a method for manufacturing nanofibers which have a desired diameter and length.
[0010] The purpose of this invention is to improve upon these faults of the prior art technology, particularly to provide nanofiber configured from numerous nanowires grown in a uniform direction, and a method of manufacturing these nanofibers.
[0011] In order to achieve the previously noted purpose, the invention provides a method of manufacturing nanofibers which uses self-organization—a process of placing silicon microcrystal grains comprising the same element as a substrate on the surface of the substrate, and heating the previously noted substrate in a vacuum until the surface of the substrate reaches a melting temperature. The surface of the substrate is a crystal face, and in the previously noted heating process the method causes numerous nanowires to grow due to elements supplied from the substrate, by causing surface segregation to occur in the crystal faces on which were placed microcrystal grains. This produces a nanofiber having a stem shaped structure.
[0012] Here, "crystal face" refers to a uniform atom plane in which atoms are orderly lined up and which is described in crystallography by Miller indices.
[0013] With the present invention, by making silicon microcrystal grains the kernels for growth, one can specify places where nanowires will be caused to grow due to self-organization, can line up nearly uniformly the direction that nanowires will grow due to self-organization, and can manufacture nanofibers comprising numerous nanowires oriented in a specific axial direction.
[0014] In another embodiment of the method of the invention, a metal such as gold, but in any case different from the substrate, is deposited on the surface by a process of vapor deposition. The metal layer may be a monolayer. The deposition is done after the silicon microcrystal grains were placed on the surface, but before the step of heating. Thus, the vapor deposition of the metal is performed on the crystal face at least where the previously noted silicon microcrystal grains are not placed.
[0015] With this invention the growth of nanowires can be accelerated because a metal, functions as a surfactant. Gold not only functions as a surfactant, but also functions to eliminate such things as oxides and carbides, etc., that adhere to the crystal face of a substrate, and controls and curbs the generation of such things as oxides. Thus, the gold layer can decrease the factors that influence the direction which nanowires grow and can improve the uniformity of the direction of such growth.
[0016] The invention may also include a heat dissipating step which lowers substrate temperature after the heating process, and then further heat the material after the heat dissipating step, thereby forming joint portions in the nanofiber.
[0017] The nanofiber produced by method of the invention comprises numerous silicon nanowires which are oriented and bundled in the same direction, and provided with a space between nanowires so that the nanofiber will have a stylus shaped cross-sectional configuration.
[0018] A nanofiber with a high aspect ratio can be realized with the present invention because it is configured from nanowires with uniform direction.
[0019] The nanofiber may also be formed with a joint portion shaped like a constriction where the diameter is smaller. Joint portions manifest a binding effect which binds nanowires as nanofibers with this invention.
[0020] The invention also teaches a method of manufacturing nanofibers which use self-organization, using the steps of vapor depositing a monolayer of gold on the surface of a substrate; and heating the substrate in a vacuum until the surface of the substrate reaches a melting temperature. This causes the gold to vaporize and numerous nanowires to grow due to elements supplied from the substrate, causing nanofiber having a stem shaped structure to form.
[0021] The retention of such things as oxides on the substrate surface at the time of self organization of nanowires which become hindrances when nanofiber is formed can be curbed and restrained with this invention.
[0026] The present invention will be explained in the following, referring in this description to
[0028] The first step in the method of manufacturing nanofibers of this invention (
[0029] The second step (
[0030] In the heating process (
[0031] This method of manufacturing was suggested from the phenomenon of materials of a different type such as impurities that exist in crystals segregating on the interfaces of crystals when three dimensional crystals are heated. That is to say, forming crystalline interfaces only in areas where microcrystal grains
[0032] Here, self-organization refers to organization maintaining given conditions by controlling factors which endeavor to develop a structure and factors which endeavor to restrict its development. In the method of manufacturing described earlier, we set the factor endeavoring to develop structure as the furnishing to the microcrystal grains
[0033] In addition, because such things as point defects, which do not exist in an ideal solid, exist on the surface of substrate
[0034] The previously noted method of manufacturing will be described in greater detail, with reference to
[0035] The placement process, vapor deposition process and heat process will be explained respectively in the following using
[0036] As
[0037] Since the heating of silicon substrate
[0038] Here, the vacuum pressure inside the vacuum chamber, assuming that the molecules of residual gases such as carbon (C) in the interior of the chamber adhere to the surface of the substrate, will be at least 1×10
[0039] This is not restricted to a procedure in which a silicon substrate
[0040] In this embodiment, a process is provided which vapor deposits metal
[0041] To be more specific, prior to the process of heating silicon substrate
[0042] In this embodiment gold (Au) was used for the metal vapor deposited on silicon substrate
[0043] The reason gold was selected as the metal to be vapor deposited was not only because of its feature as a surfactant. It was because it manifested features that would clean the crystal face such as eliminating residual carbon adhering to the (
[0044] The reason for choosing a monolayer was because when thicker than a monolayer a solid phase reaction with silicon substrate
[0045] Here a metal that vaporizes when the silicon substrate

[0049] As previously noted a silicon nanofiber
[0050] As
[0051] Then since silicon nanofiber
[0052] In one embodiment, a heat dissipating step is added which lowers the temperature of the substrate after the previously noted heating process, and then a further heating step was done after this heat dissipating process. To be more specific, after heating for 200 minutes as previously noted, the flow of electric current is discontinued as the heat releasing process and then the silicon substrate is once again heated continuously. The substrate was allowed it to sit and heat to dissipate for 15 minutes after discontinuing heating. The vacuum pressure at this time was 5×10
[0054] What functions as the binder which binds numerous silicon nanowires
[0055] While the vacuum pressure in each process in the previously noted embodiment differed, it would be desirable, if possible, to make this uniform.
[0056] Because this invention is configured and functions as previously noted, it is possible to specify the places where nanowires will form from self-organization by using microcrystal grains for growth kernels, make the direction of growth due to self-organization of nanowires uniform and manufacture nanofibers comprised of numerous nanowires oriented a specific axial direction.
[0057] In addition it is possible to accelerate the growth of nanowire with the invention noted in claim

[0062] The retention of such things as oxides on the substrate surface at the time of self organization of nanowires which become hindrances when nanofiber is formed can be curbed and restrained with the invention of claim and a nanofiber comprising nanowires with good directionality can be provided.
[0063] Accordingly, it is to be understood that the embodiments of the invention herein described are merely illustrative of the application of the principles of the invention.

Wrong. A photon behaves like any other bosonic particle. There's nothing special about the photon, or any other particle. The laws of physics apply to all of them.
Teleportation is fiction.
Except that they've been doing it since early 1997, but eh.
The FTL travel method for ships that we know is possible, is called the Warp Drive. You might know it from Star Trek. You put your ship in a subspace bubble, shrink space in front of you, expand it behind of you, and the universe will zip past you at speeds greater than that of light - since although relativity tells us that no object in space-time can go faster than light, there is no such limitation on space-time itself.
Back in the early 70s Star Trek - or rather Franz Joseph, writer of the then Technical Manual - predicted this. For 25 years it was an obscure little text in the technical manual, and then in 1995, a rather smart physicist who happened to be a Star Trek fan, thought: "Hmm, let's see what happens when we just do the science." So he plugged the concept in General Relativity and string physics, did the math, and lo-and-behold, shock, EXACTLY as Franz Joseph pulled out his imagination so does the universe ACTUALLY work. This is not science fiction anymore, it's SCIENCE. You shrink space in front of you, expand it behind you and you've achieved FTL travel, FOR REAL.
Anyone who uses Star Trek as a source of scientific proof is taking the piss.
Nobody used Star Trek as a source of scientific proof, but you know, reading, very difficult to do.

Brett Favre comeback or Aaron Rodger's New Era
Mods: I made a question like this one, but I phrased it wrong and people didn't understand what I was saying (my fault). Hopefully this will be a more accurate poll and people understand this time.
Do you think Favre should have come back, or do you think it is time for the Aaron Rodgers Era of football to begin the Green Bay? This isn't who should start (my fault on last poll), but if you think it would be better for the organization if Favre retired and Rodgers would take over now, or Favre should come back and Rodgers should keep holding a clipboard.
In my opinion, Aaron Rodgers was drafted to be the franchise QB. Brett Favre's career is over and he has nothing more to prove. The Packers, in all likelihood, won't make the playoffs and this is a wasted season if Rodgers doesn't play a lot. If the Pack want to get back in contention they need to look towards the future and give Aaron Rodgers his learning curve. If he doesn't play a lot, they will suffer a lot in 2007 because he won't have that added experience. He should know the playbook pretty well, and he isn't a rookie.
It was good that Favre came back. Not only did he give the packers a better chance to win, he also gave Rodgers more time to learn under a future HOF. And let's face it. The packers didn't really gain to many playmakers on offense this year, so if Rodgers came in due to favre retiring, he could end up losing confindence and free-falling from there.
Favre retiring would have been better for the team b/c Rodgers needs to start playing asap.
Brett isn't setting back Aaron at all, if anything he could stand to have another year to learn from one of the greats. Alot of great QB's have spent their 1st couple of years on the bench learning the game, one more year isn't gonna hurt Aaron.
He is costing the team millions of dollars holding a clipboard and Favre is costing them more because they won't make the playoffs. Not only will they win 7-9 games and not make the playoffs (a waste of a season) but they won't get that high draft pick they need. If Rogers plays they will only win 5-7 games, but at least he will be learning and he will get a much better player picking #8 instead of #15.
Favre was a gunslinger when he was great and is still a gunslinger. He got by by talent. How much of that can be taught?
The general consensus is to let the rookie start first year, and then play in the 2nd. I think it is bad for Rodgers to keep getting benched because it isn't doing him any good any more. That first year on the sidelines is important to understand what the NFL is about and learn the playbook. After that first year, then experience is the best teacher.
I think Favre coming back this year is best for the team, however, he should retire after this year.
The only thing I think a QB can help with is set an example through leadership and work ethic. Teach them to be a leader. Rodgers should have learned that by now.
Because imo, the season would be a waste if he comes back and they don't.
This should be is last year if he does bad like he did last year then it was a big waste. I think he wants to make it to another Sb before he retires.
If you're talking best for the organization, it depends on what you mean. Do you mean money? Favre does not "cost millions". He brings in millions. Advertisers like being associated with Favre. Look at the Harris Poll. Favre is the third most popular athlete behind Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. A lot of the TV games the Packers have had recently have been more for Favre on TV than the Packers on TV. Look at their TV schedule this year. How does a 4-12 team get that many national games? Favre. Then if you look at the merchandising the Packers do with him, Packers Pro Shop did $17.5 Million in revenue last year. I wonder what the change in revenue will be when Favre retires?
Aaron Rodgers also does not "cost millions". He has a graduated contract that took into account that he'd likely not be starting until next year, and contains clauses for playing time and performance in case he did become the starter. He'll cost millions next year, not this year.
If you mean wins, Favre has a much better chance of providing wins this year than Rodgers.
If you mean potential wins in the 2007+ season, then starting Rodgers probably the better choice. Nothing is guaranteed though. Favre was a second round pick, didn't play in Atlanta his first season and would not have played in Green Bay his second season if Don Majkowski hadn't had gotten hurt.
Rodgers needs this season on the bench. He'll get his shot soon enough and until then Favre is giving the Packers the best chance to win.
The Packs' best chance to win for the future would be to start Rodgers.
It is important to think long term. Rodgers starting now gives this team a legit shot at the playoffs in 2007, which they won't get now or next season if he doesn't get enough snaps or starts.
The future is more important than the present when you are REBUILDING. Having Favre start every game and Rodgers not getting a lot of snaps (which could happen) could set this team back 1-2 years, or even more.
Rodgers isn't ready to start yet. People seem to forget how young he is and I think these two years on the bench will really help him. Rodgers is finally showing some progression and after this year he should be able to glide (as good as any first-time starter can) into the starting role. There's no point in rushing Rodgers in when the Packers have a Hall of Fame QB ahead of him.
The talent gap is huge on defense between them and the Bears. I also don't think they can get a Wildcard with how tough the East and South is. Plus, Arizona should be tough and maybe even St. Louis (darkhorse, but just as much as GB).
What if Aaron Rodgers has a great TC and preseason and proves he should be the starter, but it doesn't matter how good he is because he isn't going to succeed Favre preseason?
If Green Bay is bad and won't have a chance, I think Rodgers should take the reigns mid season. He needs some experience, so I think we both make really good points and the answer is in the "gray area" and not all black/white.
Packers could win the division since they have an extremely easy schedule and do have quite a bit of talent (offence is lacking but if they can get the run game going and Favre rebounds after last season...) they could make a run at the weak NFC North. The Wild Card is pretty much out of the question for any NFC North team.
The chance of Rodgers playing better than Favre is training camp is less than 1%. Rodgers is not close to starting material at this point in his career. Also, Favre will never be benched for Rodgers.
Give Rodgers one more season on the bench (he needs it). Why rush him in when you have the luxury of having a hall of famer ahead of him holding down the fort?
I voted for him to retire, but now I think staying a year is better. Looking at Matt Hassleback and Aaron Brooks (I think AB was a back-up). Craig Nall will be an example to if given the shot.
But as Vince said, it wont hurt Aaron to sit behind Farve for one more year, that way he learns the system, and gets to learn from Farve as Hassleback, Brooks (maybe) and Nall did.
*as you can tell, I am high on Nall :wink:
We don't see eye-to-eye on "rushing him in." I don't think playing a 2nd year QB is rushing it at all. I think starting a rookie is. Whether we think he is or isn't ready doesn't matter, because we aren't the QBs coach of the Packers. Only he really knows since he practices with him the most (off coordinator and HC know too, but the QBs coach is around him more).
Moses, how do you think him sitting another year will help him? I think one year is enough, I just want to totally understand your POV. Thanks
Mark Brunell
Aaron Brooks*
Matt Hasselback
Craig Nall?
That's all i got off the top of my head.
You talk about hurting the franchise if he doesn't start this year. That, in fact, is probably not true. As you know the packers, for the most part, have a good, relatively young defense in place. Give them one more year to gel together, and next year you could possibly have one of the greatest D's in the league. A D could really help rodgers when he begins starting, to take off the pressure of needing to score. Kind of like a Ben Roelhlisburger* thing. Right now the packers offense is in disarray, and to put Rodgers in now, would be foolish.
Was I mistaken or didn't Aaron Rodgers back up Favre last year? :?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Postal cancellation will end at the Johnson City Post Office.
According to the Johnson City Press, the move this summer will mean the loss of about seven jobs.
U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman Susan Wright said outgoing mail service from zip codes 376 and 242 in Tennessee and Virginia will be affected.
That mail will be cancelled at the Knoxville postal facility. Wright said a declining volume of mail allows the Knoxville center to easily absorb the cancellations from Johnson City.
The decision comes in the wake of a USPS study sparked by a 25 percent decline in first-class mail since 2006.

Apple confirms December buyout of Anobit
updated 10:45 am EST, Wed January 11, 2012
Details still left ambiguous
Apple has officially acknowledged last month's acquisition of Anobit, according to Bloomberg. The statement was made through Apple spokesman Steve Dowling. He has declined, however, to provide any other information. "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," he is quoted as saying in a phone interview.
Outside reports have pegged the value of the deal at between $400 to $500 million. Anobit is an Israeli firm specializing in flash memory technology that improves the reliability of multi-level cell flash memory. Apple may want the firm to gain control over an important part of its supply chain. It may also want to further optimize its use of flash, much in the same way that the company's buyout of PA Semi led to the creation of the optimized (and proprietary) A series of mobile processors.

Title: Introducing Arduino & Physical Computing
Date: 10th May, 2014
Start Time: 10:00
End Time: 17:00
Booking: This course has now sold out. Drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com to hear about future courses.
Your robot army begins here. For functionality, for art, or just for making life more interesting, you'll learn: to configure and program the Arduino, to prototype circuits, to interact with sensors and other common components, and to communicate with Processing software running on your computer. After completing the course, you'll understand not just the limitless creative possibilities of the Arduino, but how to integrate them into larger projects. The course includes your first Arduino Uno, as well as all necessary cables and a stash of buttons, sensors and LEDS to get you hacking the real world (worth over £60).
Arduino: For functionality, for art… for making life more interesting.
Real World Examples
Here are some of our favourite projects using the Arduino:
- Joe Saavedra's SOBEaR, the responsible robot bartender
- Sosolimited's HBO Snow Window
- Kijani Grows, a smart aquaponics system based on Arduino.
- And last but not least the MadLab/HACman collaboration: Project-A-Sketch
What you need to be familiar with
You'll need to know how to use your computer, edit files, and save them.
Some programming background is useful, but not essential; if you've ever written Javascript, Pascal, C, C++, Java or Actionscript, you'll find the Arduino programming language very familiar. If you've written Macros in Excel or any desktop software, you'll find this will help you understand what's happening.
Software and costs
You will receive an Arduino Uno, breadboard, holder, USB cable and parts bundle. Each parts bundle contains jumper wires, two pushbuttons, two potentiometers, resistors, 10 LEDs, and a photoresistor.
Additionally, you will receive an electronic copy of the teaching materials, software, and programmes we write on a USB stick.
All software is freely available and copies will be distributed with the course materials on the day.
We will be using the Arduino IDE, which can be downloaded from http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software for all platforms.
We will also be using the Processing IDE, which can be downloaded from http://processing.org/download/ for all platforms.
Equipment you'll need
You will need to bring a computer, ideally a laptop, with a recent version of Linux, Windows or OSX installed. Make sure it's got a USB port, which you'll need in order to program the Arduino.
Suggested preparatory work
- Install the Arduino IDE
- Install the Processing IDE
Make sure both applications start and run properly on your computer – on some Linux distributions, you need to install extra software.
Familiarise yourself with the introduction to the Processing IDE (the Arduino IDE is based on it) at http://processing.org/learning/gettingstarted/
Learning Outcomes
- How to connect and configure an Arduino Uno, and upload programs to it.
- How to use a breadboard to prototype circuits, and interact with components through software
- What different kinds of components exist and how to use photoresistor, potentiometers, and LEDs
- How to communicate with an Arduino using USB and Processing
- How to expand your Arduino and where to find devices and support
Your tutor: James Medd
James Medd is an artist, musician, and maker who crams Arduino into every aspect of his life, whether it's in robotic sculptures, interactive installations, email-checking lamps, or location-aware kettles.
He first picked up an Arduino in 2009 with the view to building his own music controllers and has continued to develop his physical computing skills through various self-led projects. In 2011 he used an Arduino to power a mask mirror (check it out) which was featured at MOSI's Mini Maker Faire. He now runs an Arduino user group at MadLab which takes place on the last Tuesday of the month.
James has taught Arduino and all things digital art across Europe, and strives to bring ideas to life, whether they be practical, bizarre, or a bit of both. He is Technological and Retail Coordinator at MadLab and has recently run workshops for Blackburn is Open, a pop-up arts centre initiated by Wayne Hemingway and for Manchester City Council.
This course has now sold out. Contact us at email@example.com to hear about future courses.
The class size for this course is smaller than usual, capped at 6 attendees. If you're looking for a relaxed and intimate environment in which to learn, this is for you!

Did you know Feb. 20 is Love Your Pet Day? I learned this factoid the other day from my veterinarian assistant cousin, and it inspired me to write this post. That, and my cousin's rants about how I feed my dog too little and my cat too much.
You see, despite my cousin's expert opinion and obvious experience, it's what she doesn't know that makes her wrong. My dog has food available 24/7 and gets more than her fair share of table scraps, but she's very active and doesn't gain weight; my cat is fed on a regular schedule and loafs around the house, packing on the poundage. If my cousin knew their weight disparity was, in large part, due to their genetics and lifestyles, she wouldn't make the assumption that one is underfed and the other is overfed.
Similarly, even seasoned, trained marketers with years of experience can make mistakes that jeopardize returns on investments. It's easy to look at a fat cat and say it eats too much, or skinny dog and say it isn't getting fed, but unless you take the time to know for sure, you can't really do anything about it. It's easy to assume your target audience will respond to one type of ad, but unless you test it to see, unless you ask them, you really don't know. I don't care how much you think you know.
That got me thinking: What else do our pets know about marketing that we either don't know or we choose to ignore?
If you want customers to do something, you better give them something in return. Ever try to train a dog without treats? If they have no reward, it will be very difficult and definitely not efficient. Same with customers – no rewards, no profits.
And that something had better be what they want. If your "reward" for training your dog (or cat) is tomatoes, unless you have very odd pet, it will not respond. If your incentive sucks, your customers won't respond.
Sometimes they're just not interested. My dog loves to play ball, but she doesn't like to chase tennis balls in 90-degree weather. My cat loves to play with a long feather – unless it's nap time. Just because your customers don't buy the first time around doesn't mean they won't buy later, but it also doesn't mean you should be overly persistent. Sometimes, they're just not interested.
Treat them right and they'll follow you forever. Marketing is as much about relationships as it is about conveying sales information. It's often the first step in the customer experience, and it creates expectations. If you treat your customers right and deliver on your promises, they'll be loyal to your company for many years. Just like man's best friend (or best feline).

Thousands of posters and flags cover almost every intersection in the country, with some party workers and supporters being more creative than others, making giant replicas of the scale, rocket, and moon from flags to represent their party logos.

Fresh Perspectives Event RecapJuxtapoz // Saturday, 28 May 2011
As we mentioned on the site over the past month, Juxtapoz Magazine was selected to be one of the five ambassadors of Fresh Perspectives – a new transmedia art project initiated by Lexus to promote their newly launched Hybrid CT 200. We were on hand for the unveiling of the art and celebration even this past Thursday in Hollywood.
On hand at the event, which was held at Beso in Hollywood (they make a good gin & tonic, we do not lie) were all the participating artists, including Augustine Kofie, Juxtapoz Detroit contributor Tod Seelie, designer Robert James, chef Craig Thornton, musician V, and artist Jeff Nishinaka.
At the event, all the art was on display to check out, they had a Lexux Hybrid CT 200, and a bunch of friends of the artists were there for support. Craig Thornton made some good food, too.
(Also, nice to meet Cat Solen, who made this wonderful video with Swoon at MOCA's "Art In the Streets.")
Fresh Perspectives has gathered six artists to promote the new Hybrid, and one of the selected artists is our good friend and Jux contributor, Augustine Kofie.
Lexus gathered the six artists from different areas of contemporary art (from photography to music, design, fashion and even cooking!) and provided them with the opportunity to create unique unconventional pieces of art in order to 1) entertain us, and 2) show how to create art with a new perspecitve.

If you love animals, Bob Barker is probably one of your heroes. He just keeps on being awesome and saving lives. He has spoken out against UVA's testing on cats, helped send rescued wolf dogs to a sanctuary, funded a rescued chimp habitat and more.
Barker, who recently helped PETA open their new West Coast headquarters in Los Angeles, has written a letter to Missouri lawmakers along with the animal rights organization. The former "The Price is Right" host has asked the state's senator to oppose the ag gag bill that he says will hide animal cruelty.
According to PETA, the legislation would require any abuse documented on farms to be reported within twenty-four hours. They say this will prevent whistleblowers as well as undercover investigators from "exposing routine cruelty to animals." Barker wrote in his letter, "As a Drury University alumnus who spent many years in Missouri, I am deeply disappointed to hear that Senate Bill (S.B.) 695 is on the table. I'm writing to urge you to oppose this bill, which aims to stop undercover investigations on factory farms."
Barker also cites a 2008 PETA investigation over three months at an Iowa Hormel supplier. He says that it is crucial to obtain enough documentation of the ongoing cruelty to animals on these factory farms in order to prove they are not isolated cases. "The extensive video footage resulted in the filing of 22 charges of livestock neglect and abuse against six workers. All six admitted their guilt, and the evidence from the case helped prosecutors achieve the state's first convictions for the abuse or neglect of factory-farmed pigs," he wrote of the PETA investigation.
Barker added, "S.B. 695 seems to me to be a reaction to Proposition 2, which passed a few years ago in California with overwhelming support from liberals and conservatives alike and mandated sweeping reforms in the treatment of animals in the meat industry, rather than hiding cruelty from consumers. Missouri lawmakers must realize that consumers are demanding better treatment of animals used for food, not for the agriculture industry to cover up illegal acts and penalize those who try to expose routine cruelty. Please show consumers that Missouri has nothing to hide by opposing S.B. 695."
Iowa was recently the first state to pass an ag gag bill into law.

Blood Alcohol Content in DUI
If you or someone you know is facing a drunk driving charge due to a high BAL (blood alcohol level) result, it's important to remember that conviction is not a certainty. There are many defenses that a skilled defense lawyer can use to help establish weakness in the prosecution's case against you. It is important, therefore, to retain the services of a drunk driving defense attorney in Fort Walton who has the skill and experience to ensure that your case is aggressively and effectively represented.
How is Alcohol Absorbed by the Body?
Alcohol is absorbed into the blood through the stomach and small intestine. Here, alcohol enters blood vessels lining the walls of both. The vast majority of alcohol absorption – roughly 80% – takes place in the small intestine. Once it is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is metabolized by enzymes in the liver.
These enzymes break alcohol down at the rate of about one ounce of alcohol every hour. This is equivalent to one drink. If a person drinks more than one ounce of alcohol an hour, the liver cannot break all of the alcohol down fast enough.
When this happens, the amount of alcohol in the blood increases, resulting in varying degrees of drunkenness depending on how much alcohol a person has consumed. This is why a person can drink a number of shots quickly but remain drunk hours later.
Alcohol Content in Various Drinks
While some foreign and micro-brewed domestic beers have more alcohol content than many popular brand name beers, in general, a 12-ounce beer is the equivalent of one drink.
One shot of whiskey, scotch, vodka, bourbon, and or other 80-proof hard alcohol is equivalent to one drink. A typical 5-ounce glass of red or white wine usually has about 1 ounce of alcohol in it as well.
Alcohol and its Effect on the Body
Alcohol is a depressant, affecting the body's central nervous system. In contrast to stimulants, depressants slow down the body's normal functioning. As a result, as more alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream, a person's reaction time decreases, motor skills and coordination are impeded, and thinking and speech confused. In cases involving alcohol poisoning, breathing slows down and a person slips into a coma.
Your BAC will depend on your bodyweight, how much you drink, and the time period involved.
Consult with a DUI Defense Lawyer Today
If you are facing drunk driving charges, do yourself a favor and consult with a Fort Walton Beach DUI defense attorney immediately. A positive reading on a blood test does not necessarily mean you were drunk or the charges against you will hold up in court. Give me a call today at (850) 243-6097 to find out how I can help you. I am available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Inspired by one of my new favorite food blogs Love and Olive Oil, I thought I'd join Lindsay for "Basil Week". Also, my organic basil plant has been growing like weed and wanted to be used.
This is not a fancy culinary adventure. This is a simple, easy, quick recipe for a delicious (bread) spread. Since I use recipes for inspiration only and never follow the measurements, you won't find exact measurements in this recipe below either.
- Melt unsalted butter so it's soft enough to be mixed with the other ingredients.
- Finely chop a bunch of fresh basil leaves.
- Press or mince garlic cloves.
- Mix everything in a bowl.
- Add a few grains of coarse sea salt and ground pepper.
- Put in freezer or fridge until firm.
- Serve with toasted fresh artisan bread or add to pasta, seafood dishes and veggies. Oh, heck, use for everything you can think of.

|AFS Leadership and Governance
The American Folklore Society, founded in 1888 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and incorporated in Washington, DC, in 1978, is a non-profit organization. A 13-member Executive Board, headed by a President and (depending upon the year) either a President-Elect or a Past President, provides leadership for the organization and governs the Society on behalf of its community of members.
The Society presently maintains a three-person staff (Executive Director, Associate Director, and Administrative Associate), with offices on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus. AFS is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization with the Internal Revenue Service and the office of the Ohio Secretary of State.
The Society's Bylaws sets forth the purpose of the AFS and contains basic stipulations about its organization and operations. The Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the membership; it was most recently amended in June 2011.
Each summer, the Society's Nominating Committee assembles a slate of candidates from the AFS membership for election to the various offices that will be vacant at the end of that year, and Society members vote to elect new officers in November and December.
From time to time, the Executive Board and staff, in consultation with Society leaders and members, study and evaluate future goals and priorities for the organization and articulate those goals in a written long-range plan. The Society's current long-range plan, titled Toward the Future of Folklore Scholarship and Practice, was adopted in 2007; the Board will be revisiting this plan in 2013.

MATT HAMILTON Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The nation's second largest school district says students caught misbehaving will be sent to the principal's office rather than the courthouse as part of sweeping reforms to the discipline policy at Los Angeles schools.
Superintendent John Deasy says the district's police officers won't arrest or cite students for low-level offenses but will instead refer them to administrators or counselors.
The new policy includes infractions like possessing alcohol, tobacco and less than an ounce of marijuana, along with most schoolyard fights.
Educators and activists say the changes are in place for the current academic year and will prevent students, especially minorities, from becoming mired in the criminal justice system.
The change by the Los Angeles Unified School District marks the latest rollback to harsh penalties imposed under "zero tolerance" policies.

Wilson County residents joined Dr. E. Dwayne Lett and his staff recently to celebrate an open house at his new plastic and reconstructive clinic at 660 S. Mt. Juliet Road, Suite 210.
While Lett continues to see patients in his Lebanon location, the new Mt. Juliet clinic marks Lett's joining of the Surgical Clinic PLLC, a surgical practice of 28 physicians specializing in bariatric, breast, general, vein and vascular surgery, as well as surgical oncology.
"I'm delighted to be part of the Surgical Clinic," said Lett. "My new colleagues appear to personify commitment to their communities. Community is a priority for me, both personally and professionally."
Dr. John Boskind, the Surgical Clinic board member and general surgeon at both Summit and the new Mt. Juliet location, said, "the Surgical Clinic feels fortunate to welcome Dwayne to our practice. He's an excellent surgeon and bringing his plastic and reconstructive Surgery specialty to our practice is great news for all of us. Dr. [Alex] Fruin and I will also be seeing general surgery patients at the Lett Center, really convenient for our Mt. Juliet families."
Lett joins eight Surgical Clinic surgeons practicing three additional specialties in three other clinic locations in the Wilson County area, including the Vein Centre at Mt. Juliet, general surgery at Summit, vascular surgery at Summit and general surgery in Lebanon.

The San Francisco 49ers are ready for some serious chatter coming from that brash, big-talking Seattle secondary. So far, 49ers fullback Bruce Miller insists Richard Sherman and the playoff-bound Seahawks (11-1) have more than earned the right to speak up on the field.
Yet the way emotions tend to run higher than usual in this heated NFC West, Miller, tight end Vernon Davis and their teammates are guarding against getting so hyped up it hurts the cause. The reigning NFC champion Niners (8-4) still have plenty of work to do this month to secure their own playoff positioning, and a win against Seattle would help. Enough of the 49ers caught glimpses of Seattle's Monday night rout of New Orleans to know a tall task awaits them this weekend.
