Mud Math: Figuring Concrete Volume with SketchUpcomments (2) February 4th, 2012 in Blogs
Mud Math
Doing "mud math" to figure concrete volume for a bid or pour is a routine task on any project. The difficulty of getting an accurate volume amount is directly proportional to the complexity of the work being poured. Basic rectangular footings, walls and slabs are a breeze with rule-of-thumb formulas or construction calculators but when irregular shapes are required it takes a bit more time. That's when SketchUp can come in hand for determining how much concrete to order.
Thickened Edge Slab
To give an idea of how simple it is to create a SketchUp model for doing a volume calculation I show the steps I use to model an irregular/angle-shaped slab configuration with a 16" wide, 8" deep thickened edge. In this video you'll see how quickly the Offset Tool combined with the Move Tool in Auto-Fold mode generates a representative configuration for this type of pour
Mud Wrestling
While this tutorial only shows straight lines you can see how this simple process could generate a volume calculation for curved, stepped, bowed or octagon type outlines. Wrestling with "mud math" is just as simple with the most complex configurations.
Ya Can't Have Everything
Its a bit frustrating, but try as I might, I couldn't get the volume results in the most common cubic yards format from the Entity Info dialog box, so embarrassing as it is to say, you'll have to convert the cubic foot volume result (divide by 27 (27 cu ft per 1 cu yd) to get a cubic yard result. But you can download the model created for this tutorial from the SketchUp Component Warehouse by clicking here.
Bonus Bits:
After you've taken the time to create a model to figure concrete volume you might as well take a few more simple steps and figure rebar for the thickened edge and lineal feet of material required to form the slab perimeter. The Offset Tool makes quick work of this process with results displayed in the Entity Info dialog box.
Concrete Guarantee:
When you use this method for calculating concrete for your project you can issue the universal three-part guarantee for concrete:
Concrete gets hard, it will crack and no one will steal it!!

Thanks for sharing this info. Apparently I didn't look long or hard enough to find the volume script you describe. If you have a minute to spare it would be beneficial to learn what "other fancy little SketchUp tricks" you use the plugin for.
For other viewers that are interested, this site:
(found with the suggested Google search) has a link to download the script as well as some info on using it.
I used the script on the model created for the video and although an "ambiguous form?" warning popped after I filled in the dialog box, the cubic yard value was accurate. The script is written to create a duplicate "group" or "component" which it uses to calculate the volume with various choices as to what to do with the original geometry. I found it simplest to just hit the "back" arrow after getting the volume calculation rather than deleting the new group and/or un-hiding the original.
Just for fun I an alternate volume unit and got a reading of 5,892.29 gallons for the model. Next I want to check the reaction of the guy at the local batch plant when I put in a will call for 5,900 GALLONS of concrete. Should be interesting!

Concussion is defined as a blow to the head that causes the brain to crash into the skull. On this play against UAB, Florida State running back Antone Smith was knocked unconscious and was found to have suffered a concussion, but these injuries are often not easily spotted on the high school level.
Brad Miles, head athletic trainer at Valdosta High Schools, says, "So many of the kids, unless you're a full-time trainer such as I am and get to know the kids personally. You may have a kid that has some symptoms, but you don't know if that's normal for the child or not."
Unfortunately, according to the National Athletic Trainers Association, 42 percent of high schools in the U.S. do not have a certified trainer like at Valdosta High or the high schools in Leon County.
Debbie Tolsma, head athletic trainer at Godby High School, says, "I get to know these students very well and so I know when they're acting a little strange, maybe combative, you know maybe just not themselves and that's when and they know I'm serious about concussions and spinal injuries and what not, so they know that I'm going to make sure that they're okay before the get to play again."
It's important to know if a concussion has occurred and whether or not those symptoms have cleared because concussions have a tendency to build on each other making risk of serious injury that much greater.

Warner Bros. Academy Awards Animation Collection
More Than just a Rehash
Review by Matthew Hunter
The MGM cartoons look great as well. Nearly all of the Tom and Jerries look just as good as they did on the Spotlight Collections, or better. "The Little Orphan", which was edited in previous release, is included here uncut and with superior print quality. In fact, out of the thirteen Tom and Jerry cartoons included here, none are censored, and all but one look great. "Quiet Please!" looks absolutely terrible, with a very dark, faded, grainy and out-of-focus print that appears to have been a later reissue copy...not at all the wonderful copy released on the Spotlight DVD and shown on Cartoon Network and TCM. In fact, it's the only cartoon on the set that looks noticeably bad! Shame on the guy who fell asleep at the wheel on that one! The non-Tom and Jerry MGM cartoons here, "Milky Way", "Peace on Earth", "Blitz Wolf" (Completely unedited, by the way!) "Good Will to Men", "Dot and the Line", and "One Droopy Knight" all look great.
The two Fleischer entries, "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" and "Superman" are both fantastic. "Sindbad" is the same version from last year's Popeye set, "Superman" is a superb restoration I had never seen before. Though not a newcomer to DVD, the first-ever "Superman" cartoon has never looked as good as this!
The commentaries and documentary are all new, and feature familiar voices like Jerry Beck, Greg Ford and Eric Goldberg along with some new insight from Amid Amidi, Ray Pointer and Leslie Cabarga, among others. All of these names should be familiar to classic cartoon enthusiasts, and if not, look them up! The documentary, "Drawn For Glory", is not to be missed. Warner Bros. must have spent some extra money to produce it, as it includes clips from several Disney and independent films, and provides a very informative and fair history of animated shorts and their history of winning Academy Awards. Included as a bonus is Bob Clampett's classic Bugs Bunny film "What's Cookin' Doc?", neither a winner nor nominee, in which Bugs Bunny campaigns to win an Oscar. Sadly, it is not restored, but looks decent and is a welcome inclusion nonetheless.
Whether the set is worth your money or not depends on which aspect of it interests you. If you are in search of elusive uncensored cartoons, you may want to pick it up for the MGM stuff. If you want to see a couple Warner cartoon restorations and can't wait until their inclusion on future Golden sets, this is for you. "Superman" is well worth checking out, and the commentaries and documentary are new, different, and top notch. It's a well-done set with a lot of great animation all in one place.

Faithful Citizenship
Public Confessions: Good Enough?
And despite all the cries about our declining morals, these same twin impulses continue today in the campaigns of the religious right and in social justice movements on the left: "Do the right thing," play fair, and all will prosper.
We don't always agree what the right thing is. But there are some things that as a culture we're pretty sure about: cheating, lying, unfaithfulness, and taking an unfair advantage are all things that violate our social contract in some way.
Because we're Americans, though, our moral underpinnings are complicated by our pragmatism. Americans love fairness and good deeds, and they also love what works. So we hold up Jefferson (who preached equality but kept his slaves and slept with at least one of them), and Franklin (who was a womanizer and a terrible father) as ideals. In more recent times, we balance our distaste for immorality and unfairness with our love of success. Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, but he presided over a great period of economic prosperity. Lance Armstrong cheated in the Tour de France, but, some rationalize, he had to in order to defeat all the others who were doping. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire broke some of baseball's most sacred records while using steroids—but as a Tweet quoted in SI last week argued, they were a part of the most exciting period of baseball's history, and, that writer argued, they should be in the Hall of Fame.
And so, because Americans are easily-offended pragmatists, we substitute pop culture confession for religious confession. It's easier than real responsibility and amendment of life. We accept the confessions that are proffered, such as they are, and in most cases (one exception: do not cheat on your saintly cancer-suffering wife!), after a period of time, we are almost always willing to let the sinners rejoin our community.
This public confession and restoration does have a religious root: theologians from all traditions believe that when we wrong others, that sin alienates us from God, from those we have harmed, and from ourselves, and so a first part of making amends and restoring those communions is always admitting our wrongdoing. Most wisdom traditions would go further to suggest, though, that there must be genuine remorse, and that if the sin is ongoing, the offender should intend to amend his or her life and not continue in that offense.
But we don't require more than simulated sincerity from most of our public confessions, which are simply a pop culture ritual that simulates but does not replicate religious confession. This public confession and contrition on the set of Oprah, David Letterman, Larry King, and Leno has replaced the past ceremonies in which popes and bishops ruled on kings and nobility and gave them public penance before they would be readmitted into the good graces of the church. Many of the public apologies we witness do not rise to the level of actually expressing their sorrow at anything other than having been found out or having lost their rapport with fans and supporters.
But all the same, we offer forgiveness.
How did Lance Armstrong (or insert today's scandal here) hurt me?
Am I supposed to actually forgive him or any of the others who have publicly disgraced themselves?
Or is the ritualized public forgiveness—buying a ticket to Mel Gibson's movie, not changing the channel when the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis plays to the cameras, treating Bill Clinton as an elder statesman instead of a serial adulterer—sufficient?
Greg Garrett is (according to BBC Radio) one of America's leading voices on religion and culture. He is the author or co-author of over twenty books of fiction, theology, cultural criticism, and spiritual autobiography. His most recent books are The Prodigal, written with the legendary Brennan Manning, Entertaining Judgment: The Afterlife in Popular Imagination, and My Church Is Not Dying: Episcopalians in the 21st Century. A contributor to Patheos since 2010, Greg also writes for the Huffington Post, Salon.com, OnFaith, The Tablet, Reform, and other web and print publications in the US and UK.

As the White House turns its attention back to health care and the economy, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fired an opening shot Tuesday at President Obama.
In a morning floor speech, McConnell mocked Obama for his decision to "'pivot' once again to jobs."
"I can't even count how many times he's done one of these 'pivots' at this point, so I won't try," McConnell said. "But I presume he'll jet off around the country to campaign-style rallies in order to bash Congress and claim that none of this is his fault."
And in a preview of the GOP's election strategy, McConnell also questioned how the Obama administration was going to defend implementation of his health-care law in an event Friday.
"Well, I'd be willing to bet that he's not going to take responsibility there for Obamacare's negative effects on our economy, or on so many American families and small businesses," the senator said. "It's about time he did, and he should use that event to do so. Because he needs to be straight with the American people. He needs to prepare them for everything that's coming – the wage cuts, the lost jobs, the higher premiums. Everything they can expect as a result of Obamacare."
After a few more floor speeches, voters might even get nostalgic for the sharp divide over gun control.

Connolly questionable with shoulder injury
As The Boston Hockey Blog reported yesterday, sophomore forward Chris Connolly is questionable with a separated shoulder heading into this weekend's home-and-home with UNH, according to a source close to the team.
Connolly, who was named a Hockey East Co-Player of the Week on Monday, skated briefly at the beginning of practice Wednesday, sporting one of BU's light-blue non-contact jerseys. Connolly left the ice about 15 minutes into the session, and watched the remainder of practice from the BU bench. He had an ice pack saran-wrapped to his left shoulder for part of that time.
BU coach Jack Parker declined to specify Connolly's injury after practice, saying he had an upper-body injury that "may or may not keep him out of play this weekend."
Colby Cohen leaves practice with lower-body injury
Junior Colby Cohen left practice early Wednesday with what Parker called a "lower-body injury."
Parker said the injury was "probably not" anything serious, and did not go into further detail.
Warsofsky 100 percent, practicing at forward
Sophomore defenseman David Warsofsky said after practice Wednesday that the injury to the adductor muscle in his hip that had caused him to miss three of the last four games is back to 100 percent, and that he expects to play this weekend.
Warsofsky practiced as a forward during Wednesday's practice. During 5-on-3 power-play drills, Warsofsky worked as BU's big-man atop the crease with junior Nick Bonino and freshman Alex Chiasson on the wings and junior Colby Cohen and junior Kevin Shattenkirk at the points.
"That's an important part of the power play for sure," Warsofsky said about setting screens and scrounging for rebounds. "If I get in front of the net, maybe some of the other guys will see that and learn a little something. We'll see."
Parker said he had yet to decide where Warsofsky would play this weekend, saying the decision will be made based on what players are kept from the lineup with injury.
"I know he can play defense for us. I know he can play forward for us," Parker said. "I think it's a matter of who's available and where we'll be depth-wise. If we had everybody, I'd probably play him back on defense."
If Warsofsky does play forward, he'll play on Bonino's wing, or if he plays defense, he'll be paired with senior Eric Gryba, Parker said.
Warsofsky, who was selected as a defenseman by the St. Louis Blues in the fourth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, said the move wasn't likely to be permanent.
"I mean, I don't think it's going to be a career-changer, but we'll see," Warsofsky said.
Rollheiser's status still uncertain
In Saturday's 6-4 win over Merrimack College, sophomore goalie Grant Rollheiser tweaked the high-ankle sprain that had kept him out of action for the entire season leading up to last weekend. Rollheiser practiced at full strength Wednesday, and Parker said he would wait to see how Rollheiser felt tomorrow before deciding who would start in net on which nights this weekend.
Bonino and Chiasson practice full-contact, ready to go
The list of BU players dealing with injuries is finally dwindling to only a select few. Bonino and Chiasson both missed time last weekend due to injuries, but both participated fully in practice Wednesday and are expected to play this weekend.
When it was suggested that BU might actually have most of its players healthy and in the lineup this weekend, Parker turned to knock on the wood table next to him and said, "There's still one more practice to go, though, so we'll see."
Parker joked that he might have to keep an eye on Gryba, whose hits are responsible for Warsofsky's and Chiasson's injuries.
"We might have to have him come out with just no shoulder pads, no elbow pads," Parker said jokingly.

Residents reflect one year after Rosedale train derailment
ROSEDALE, Md. - Today is just another day at the Colonial Millworks, a custom woodworking shop. But, it was anything but normal a year ago.
It was then that explosion and panic ensued after John Alban Jr. drove his truck in front of a CSX train in Rosedale.
Chuck Riddleberger, vice president of Colonial Millworks, was here that day and he and his staff were talking about the crash this morning.
"It's still fresh," he said. "It feels like it was just yesterday."
Steve Kay has been doing custom woodwork at Colonial Millworks for 13 years. Today he's cooking up lunch. There was a more menacing smoke in the air that day a year ago.
"It was a black smoke and a plume of fire rising up and I said, 'man something's gonna happen.'"
The explosion was a few blocks from the business but the shockwave was so significant it actually damaged the building.
Today, while businesses have moved on, they all agree it will be a day they never forget.

I was grocery shopping this morning, and loading my panniers with my various foodstuffs for the week, when this lady comes out of the supermarket with the cart piled high - sodapop 6-pack rimmer and everything, living suburban WASP stereotype - and comes over to me:
"Oh, you poor thing! Don't you have a car?"
I didn't have a witty comeback or anything; I didn't want to embarrass her. I just explained to her how much I love bicycles and that I gave up cars 3 years ago (I always say it like ex-smokers do). She politely went along with it, we exchanged standard low-wit pleasantries (she made the 'gas prices these days' joke, of course) and she waddled away.
It's not the first time anyone has accosted me in the supermarket parking lot, but the genuine pity she innocently expressed at seeing some 'poor' young man who has to resort to using his bike (gasp!) to shop for food was a first for me, and very amusing. She was very nice, of course. She just had no visible concept at all that one might willingly and pleasurably use a bike in favor of a car for any other reason than money tightness or as a play toy.

The procedure is called Balloon Sinuplasty by Acclarent and one local doctor says it's making the lives of his patients with Sinusitis much easier. The Tallahassee Memorial Hospital says 37-million Americans suffer from the health problem causing blocked sinus passageways.
The local doctor, Adrian Roberts, M.D., who performs the Balloon Sinuplasty in Tallahassee has been happy with the results. "The Balloon Sinuplasty is less traumatic to the tissues that we're working with up in the nose and the benefits of that are that the patients have less discomfort. They heal more quickly. They have less bleeding." said Dr. Roberts.
For more information on Balloon Sinuplasty, it can be found on the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital web site. See below for a quick link.
Dr. Myrle Grate, MD, at Capital Regional Medical Center has also been performing this procedure since April 2007.

Rhett vs. Scott, (5th Cir. 1998)
|Docket Number:
* Under 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUITNo. 97-10910 Summary Calendar CARDELL RHETT, JR., also known as Rhett Cardell, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus WAYNE SCOTT ET AL., Defendants, WAYNE SCOTT; CHARLES ALEXANDER, Dr.; MAXWELL GARDNER, Dr.; SWARTS, Dr.; B. ALLEN; G. PIERSON; B. CASEL; UTMB MANAGE CARE; SCHERRY MCKELVEY, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 2:96-CV-114 May 21, 1998 Before WISDOM, WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM: * Cardell Rhett, Jr., Texas prisoner # 672730, appeals the district court§ 1983 action as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(I). Rhett contends that the defendants delayed or failed to provide adequate treatment for his serious medical needs and forced him to perform duties which were inconsistent with his medical restrictions, resulting in serious damage to his knee. Rhett contends that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his § 1983 action as frivolous under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(I). Rhett did not raise any claims concerning Wayne Scott or Dr. Charles Alexander in his appellate brief; therefore, he has abandoned these claims on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins , 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Rhett argues that G. Pierson and B. Casel failed to assist him in obtaining medical treatment and a different job assignment that would be consistent with his medical restrictions. Because Rhett did not allege that Pierson or Casel actively participated in depriving him of medical treatment or adopted policies which caused the alleged constitutional violations, however, we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing RhettÂs claims against Pierson and Clark. See Thompkins v. Belt , 828 F.2d 298, 302-04 (5th Cir. 1987). Next, Rhett argues that the medical treatment he received from Dr. Swarts was constitutionally infirm. Rhett did not, however, show that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his claim against Dr. Swarts. In view of the substantial amount of medical treatment provided by Dr. Swarts, any deficiency in this treatment amounts to mere negligence, and not deliberate indifference. See Varnado v. Lynaugh , 920 F.2d 320, 321 (5th Cir. 1991). Rhett alleges that UTMB Manage Care improperly failed to expedite an orthopedic consultation ordered by Dr. Swarts. Rhett has not shown, however, that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his claim. Rhett was examined by an orthopedic specialist within six weeks after the referral was made; a six-week delay does not constitute deliberate indifference to RhettÂs serious medical need. See Wilson v. Seiter ,

Keith Urban returning as 'American Idol' judge
Thursday, August 1, 2013
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Keith Urban is coming back to "American Idol."
Fox chairman Kevin Reilly on Thursday confirmed the return of the country music star, settling the fate of the only judge left from last season on the talent competition.
"He did a really good job last year," Reilly said to a gathering of the Television Critics Association. "The fans really like him."
Reilly said Urban didn't have a chance to show his personality. The executive didn't say why, but the country singer was routinely overshadowed by bickering between fellow judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. Their departures, along with that of Randy Jackson, were announced weeks ago, a response to the show's sagging ratings.
But Reilly was mum on who would sit beside Urban at the judges' table next season, which begins in January. Reilly said there have been discussions with Jennifer Lopez, a former judge, "but there is no deal with her or with anyone else."
"Idol" is looking for judges who make it comfortable for viewers, Reilly said. Whoever is on the panel, there will be a renewed emphasis on the contestants.
"The show always has been about the contestants," he said.

Program Review and Modification Procedures
EPC Program Review – Adopted 3/26/07 and revised 2/14/11 by EPC
The demand for academic majors changes through time, and one would expect that the majors offered by the university would change accordingly. Naturally, with a specific allocation of resources, a fluctuating overall enrollment level, and minimum course sizes, there is a limited number of majors that can be offered at any one time.
In order to maintain both quality and viability in our programs, the Provost/VPAA has decided to institute ongoing procedures for program review based on several factors, including data on major enrollments, course enrollments, student performance, accreditation standards, and other related information that has been available for some time. The data sets are updated regularly, shared with all academic departments and are accessible on the university website. (See Institutional Research and Institutional Research-Enrollment Reports by Academic Program) To facilitate a clear process for dealing with program decline, the Provost/VPAA and the members of EPC have agreed to the following procedures to insure adequate administrative and faculty involvement in timely reviews of programs for which there may be concerns.
1. Annual Departmental Review:
Annually, academic departments conduct a department review as part of the development of staffing plans. This necessarily includes a data based review of department programs, courses and enrollment trends. In their review of their programs and courses, the faculty of a department can recommend the elimination of a major program through the normal review channels of CUP or GPC, the Academic Senate, and Provost/VPAA. They can also recommend suspending enrollment in a program. An enrollment suspension has the advantage of putting a major on hold and not terminating it while a department takes the time to review matters. If a program is terminated, a full review up through the state level would be required to start the major again. In effect, it would be treated as a completely new major which is not the case for a suspended major.
2. Annual EPC Staffing Recommendations:
During the first four weeks of the fall semester, the Deans submit their staffing recommendations to the Provost/VPAA. These are reviewed by EPC along with enrollment data for majors and courses. At that time, the Academic Deans shall also submit recommendations to the Provost/VPAA for program suspensions, which will also be reviewed by the EPC. Such recommendations should take into account but not be limited to evidence of certain warning signs such as:
- Differentiation from another major by only one or two courses;
- A declining trend in the enrollment of majors over successive years;
- Enrollment in required or elective courses falling below the minimum course requirements (20 for lower division; 10 for upper division) over successive offerings;
- Use of directed studies as substitutions for required courses for successive years;
- Inability to meet the standards or course rotations necessary to maintain quality, or meet the requirements for program accreditation;
- Evidence from the annual program review that the major is no longer meeting the expectations described for it in the initial approval or subsequent revisions of the program.
3. Deans will notify departments of programs for which they are submitting suspension recommendations to the Provost/VPAA and EPC including the reasons for these recommendations by September 30.
4. The department faculty shall meet to review all programs recommended for suspension and submit a response to the EPC by January 15th of the current academic year. The department response shall either:
- indicate acceptance of the suspension, or
- indicate the need to study the program more carefully before making changes or terminating the program, or
- provide data and narrative indicating why the recommended suspension would be ill advised.
Failure by the departmental faculty to respond by this date will be taken as tacit agreement to suspend the program. EPC will review recommendations from the Deans and responses from departments and make their recommendations to the Provost/VPAA by February 28.
5. A department can request reinstatement of a suspended program by submitting a data-based plan using the EPC reallocation criteria, that will result in a major/program with a sufficient rationale to justify offering the required courses using the resources available. The plan will be submitted by the department faculty, through the department head, and the college dean.
6. If the departmental faculty chooses to recommend termination of a program or substantive changes to maintain a program, they must also process such proposals through the normal academic oversight of CUP, GPC, the Senate and the Provost/VPAA as appropriate. Failure to process a termination proposal within 4 years of the suspension date will result in an automatic termination of the program.
7. A program suspended for any reason will automatically be terminated after 4 years from the suspension date.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Saturday and door-to-door mail delivery would be phased out and the Postal Service could start shipping alcoholic beverages under a plan by two key senators seeking to turn around the struggling agency's finances.
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Carper of Delaware and the panel's ranking Republican, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, say they hope Congress can act quickly to help the agency.
The Postal Service lost $16 billion last year, $11 billion of it in payments to its health fund for future retirees.
The Senate plan includes changes in how pensions and retiree health care costs are handled in an attempt to stabilize the agency's finances.
A House bill also would end Saturday delivery and phase out door-to-door service over 10 years.

- Dec 20:
- Colorado State impressed with Washington State safety Deone Bucannon
FORT COLLINS — When you rush for 1,572 yards and 28 touchdowns, it can be tough to single out the highlights.
But Colorado State teammates and coaches contend that two particular Kapri Bibbs carries this season stand out.
One went to the outside, the other to the inside. Both occurred late in the season with CSU's bowl hopes hanging in the balance. The nature of those runs, the first flashing Bibbs' speed, instincts and vision, the other revealing his power and grit, begins to paint the picture of a developing talent who could end up ranking among the best to ever run along the Front Range.
At minimum, Bibbs' 2013 season ranks alongside the best among major-college running backs on the Front Range since 2000 with Colorado's Chris Brown (1,744 yards, 18 touchdowns) and CSU's Cecil Sapp (1,601 yards, 17 touchdowns), both in 2002, topping the list.
And the Rams' star sophomore, who last week was named a Walter Camp second team All-American, still has the New Mexico Bowl to play.
"Kapri wants to carry us on his back," said CSU quarterback Garrett Grayson. "And he does it."
The first of the two extraordinary plays most often mentioned inside the Rams' football offices occurred Nov. 9 at Hughes Stadium, with CSU trailing Nevada 17-16 late in the third quarter.
From the CSU 41-yard line, Bibbs took a first-down handoff from Grayson and angled off right tackle. A Rams tight end pinched inside to help open a hole for Bibbs, but Nevada defensive players clogged the line with a strong forward push.
"Kapri ran into the tight end and stopped completely," said CSU left tackle Ty Sambrailo. "But then he bounced it outside."
Bibbs reversed field and circled around the left corner. He didn't stop until he had covered 59 yards into the end zone. CSU never trailed again en route to a 38-17 victory that evened the team's record at 5-5. Bibbs finished with a school-record 312 yards rushing.
"That was huge at the time," Sambrailo said. "It looked like nothing and he turned it into a home run."
Fourth-and-1 fame
Not all of a running back's best plays are huge gains, however.
In the third quarter of what at the time was a seesaw affair at New Mexico, Bibbs got the call on a fourth-and-1 play at the Lobos' 36. Almost immediately, he was smacked behind the line of scrimmage. Bibbs somehow shed that tackler and, amid the mass of bodies crowding the line of scrimmage, he carried a second New Mexico defender for a 2-yard gain. Three plays later, Bibbs scored from a yard out, giving CSU some breathing room with a 45-35 lead in what ended up a 27-point victory for the Rams. Bibbs finished with 291 yards and six touchdowns.
"Kapri willed himself to get that first down," Grayson said. "If we get stopped there, who knows, that might have changed the outcome."
And the season.
CSU (7-6, 5-3 Mountain West) needed every victory to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. Saturday, the Rams will meet Washington State (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12) at the New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque.
As a first-year player in the CSU program, Bibbs isn't allowed to talk to the media, per coach Jim McElwain's rules. But Bibbs' impact on the field speaks volumes. The 28 touchdowns scored by the junior college transfer have accounted for half CSU's 56 offensive touchdowns. Bibbs matched a major-college record with three or more touchdowns in five consecutive games.
And to think that Bibbs didn't become a full-time starter until the sixth game.
"Twenty-eight touchdowns is a lot of touchdowns. It's tough for an offense to get that many drives for a guy to just punch it in 28 times," said Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt. "So, in addition to being a good short-yardage runner, you also need to have some explosiveness and wiggle to get to the outside and break a big one.
"When somebody looks at a box score, even if they didn't see the game, it says that Bibbs is a pretty complete back by scoring all those touchdowns in different ways."
Sapp's record in sight
Bibbs, Brown and Sapp ran behind exceptional offensive lines and also benefited by playing a scheme that prevented opposing defenses from keying only on the running game. Nevertheless, they were all the focus of their team's attack.
Brown (6-foot-3, 219 pounds) and Sapp (5-11, 215) were imposing power backs with speed. Bibbs (5-11, 203) is slightly smaller but more elusive and quick to the hole.
"Chris (Brown) fit our system perfectly," said Klatt, who was a backup quarterback at CU in 2002 and became a three-year starter. "We ran a lot of heavy-type schemes behind a big offensive line that I thought might have been the best in the country. Chris was powerful and just patient enough behind the blocking of that line."
Bibbs needs only 30 yards rushing in the New Mexico Bowl to surpass Sapp's season school record of 1,601.
"I think Kapri may be faster and shiftier than Cecil was," said former CSU coach Sonny Lubick. "Cecil had flat-out toughness. He may have been stronger and a touch more powerful. But when Kapri hits the hole, he's gone. He's really good that way.
"If Bibbs puts up big numbers against Washington State in the bowl game, that will say a lot."
The Rams are counting on it.

AMD Athlon X2 7850 vs. Intel Pentium E5300: Choosing the Best $70 CPUby Anand Lal Shimpi on April 28, 2009 11:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
AMD celebrates its 40 year anniversary next month, and the Athlon brand turns ten shortly thereafter. What better way to celebrate than by releasing a rebadged 65nm Phenom processor with two cores disabled at $69? Er, or, I guess they could've sent a cake.
It's called the Athlon X2 7850 and it actually has very little in common with the old Athlon 64 X2s. As I mentioned, these are rebadged 65nm Phenom processors with two cores disabled. The table below should give you a good comparison between the die size and transistor count of the original Phenom compared to the new Athlon X2:

|AMD Athlon X2 7850
|285 mm2
There's no surprise that the specs are identical, because the processors are identical. AMD simply disables two of the Phenom's four cores in production before shipping the parts.
In its heyday the original Phenom never broke 2.6GHz, but with a fully mature 65nm process and only two functional cores AMD is able to clock these parts higher. The first dual-core Phenom derivative was the Athlon X2 7750 and it ran at 2.7GHz. In AMD's tradition of introducing far too many CPUs, today AMD expands the list with a 2.8GHz Athlon X2 7850.
Once again this is the original Phenom processor; none of the advancements found in the Phenom II are included - it also means that the architecture doesn't make quite as much sense.
It's a Socket-AM2+ Processor
The original Phenom architecture was designed to be used for quad-core processor designs, hence the use of a large shared L3 cache alongside private L2 caches. With only two cores, many of the benefits of this architecture are lost. Intel discovered that the ideal dual-core architecture featured two levels of cache with a large, fast, L2 shared by both cores. AMD and Intel came to the conclusion that the ideal quad-core architecture had private L2 caches (one per core) with a large, shared L3 cache. The Athlon X2 7850 takes the cache hierarchy of the ideal quad-core design and uses it on a dual-core processor.
To make matters worse, it does so with an incredibly small L3. Intel found that on its Nehalem processor each core needed a minimum of 2MB of L3 cache for optimal performance. With Phenom II AMD settled on 1.5MB L3 per core. The original Phenom gave each core 512KB of L3, or in the case of a dual-core derivative 1MB of L3 cache. Again, not ideal.
But it only costs $69.
And things should be easier for AMD at the $69 price point - there's no Nehalem to worry about down here, only cache starved Core 2 processors. Priced at $74 we have Intel's Pentium E5300.
It's a Difference of Cache
The Athlon X2 7850 is based on the original 65nm Phenom core, but with only two cores enabled. That means we've got a 64KB L1 data cache, 64KB L1 instruction cache and a 512KB L2 cache per core. There's also this catch-all 2MB L3 cache, but it's unfortunately very high latency by comparison.
The Pentium E5300
The Pentium E5300 is a trimmed down version of Intel's 45nm Wolfdale core. Each core has a 32KB L1 data cache and a 32KB L1 instruction cache, smaller than the Athlon X2. The L2 cache is shared between the cores and is 2MB in size. It takes just as long to access data from Intel's 2MB shared L2 as it does to get data from AMD's 512KB L2. Intel does not have an L3 cache but it also doesn't have an on-die memory controller, so final accesses to memory are a lot slower on Intel's hardware.
It's all LGA-775
AMD has more cache but it's slower than Intel's, once you get out to main memory the Athlon X2 can get to data quicker but the E5300 has the benefit of more advanced prefetchers.
The E5300 is a 45nm chip meaning it can be cooled by Intel's low profile boxed heatsink
Intel's architecture also has a wider 4-issue front end compared to the Athlon X2. The execution advantage should go to Intel. With a higher IPC, Intel doesn't need to run at the same clock speeds to outperform AMD. However with an on-die memory controller, the Athlon X2 could pull ahead in applications that don't fit nicely within the E5300's L2 cache.
While the Phenom II has been enjoying clear victories over Intel's equivalently priced processors in the higher end space, it looks like crowning a winner at $70 will take a little more work.
$74 Gets You Faster than any Pentium 4 Ever Made
The Pentium E5300 is very similar in clock speed and cache size to some of the original Core 2 Duos that launched in the summer of 2006. You may recall that Intel offered both 2MB and 4MB L2 variants of the Core 2 at launch. The E6300 and E6400 both had a 2MB L2, while the E6600, E6700 and X6800 all had a 4MB L2.
The Pentium E5300 is based on the Wolfdale core, which is faster than the original Conroe based Core 2s - but it only has a 2MB L2 like the old E6400. The E6400 however ran at 2.16GHz, the E5300 runs at 2.60GHz. In other words, today's $74 Pentium E5300 is faster than the original Core 2 Duo E6400.
But the comparison gets even more interesting. Remember that the E6400, at launch, was faster than even the fastest Pentium 4 - the dual core, four thread Pentium Extreme Edition 965 running at 3.73GHz. The charts below from my original Core 2 Duo review show just that:
Do you see where I'm going with this? While the data above is old, it shows that the E6400 was faster than the fastest Pentium 4 ever released. And the $74 E5300 is faster than the E6400, therefore the Pentium E5300 is faster than any Pentium 4 ever released.
Most people didn't have 3.73GHz Pentium Extreme Editions in their systems - they had lower clocked versions, in which case the E5300 should be even faster. If you had a 2.8GHz Pentium D, I'd expect the Pentium E5300 to be anywhere between 20 - 40% faster regardless of application. Mmm Moore's Law.

SYSMark 2007 Performance
Our journey starts with SYSMark 2007, the only all-encompassing performance suite in our review today. The idea here is simple: one benchmark to indicate the overall performance of your machine.
The SYSMark results show that we're in for a close race. The overall score has the 7850 in the lead by 3 points but that's about a 2% advantage over the E5300 - most definitely within the benchmark's margin of error.
In the individual suites the Athlon X2 and Pentium trade blows with AMD pulling ahead in E-Learning and Productivity while Intel holds the lead in Video Creation and 3D rendering tests. The first results are basically a wash, regardless of which chip you get you'll see virtually equal performance.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Performance
To measure performance under Photoshop CS4 we turn to the Retouch Artists' Speed Test. The test does basic photo editing; there are a couple of color space conversions, many layer creations, color curve adjustment, image and canvas size adjustment, unsharp mask, and finally a gaussian blur performed on the entire image.
The whole process is timed and thanks to the use of Intel's X25-M SSD as our test bed hard drive, performance is far more predictable than back when we used to test on mechanical disks.
Time is reported in seconds and the lower numbers mean better performance. The test is multithreaded and can hit all four cores in a quad-core machine.
The Retouch Artists' Photoshop Speed Test has traditionally favored Intel's Core architecture and since the E5300 is based on that architecture we see a significant performance advantage over the Athlon X2. The E5300 finishes this test in around 12% less time than the X2 7850. Even the E5200 is faster, but only by a 7.5% margin.
DivX 8.5.3 with Xmpeg 5.0.3
Our DivX test is the same DivX / XMpeg 5.03 test we've run for the past few years now, the 1080p source file is encoded using the unconstrained DivX profile, quality/performance is set balanced at 5 and enhanced multithreading is enabled:
The original Phenom was significantly weaker than Intel's Core 2 at DivX encoding, thus the Athlon X2 vs. Pentium comparison here isn't very favorable for AMD. The E5300 is 11% faster than the 7850 here. Even the E5200 is a better choice for DivX encoding.
x264 HD Video Encoding Performance
Graysky's x264 HD test uses the publicly available x264 codec (open source alternative to H.264) to encode a 4Mbps 720p MPEG-2 source. The focus here is on quality rather than speed, thus the benchmark uses a 2-pass encode and reports the average frame rate in each pass.
The x264 HD encode test is slightly different depending on what pass you look at. The first pass of the x264 HD encode actually has a number of unaligned loads, which penalizes Intel's Core architecture - something fixed in Nehalem. The second and more CPU intensive pass is where Intel sees a 7.4% performance advantage over AMD. Despite the small advantage in the first pass of the encode, the win goes to Intel for a larger and more meaningful advantage in the second pass.
Windows Media Encoder 9 x64 Advanced Profile
In order to be codec agnostic we've got a Windows Media Encoder benchmark looking at the same sort of thing we've been doing in the DivX and x264 tests, but using WME instead.
Our final pure encode test once again has the E5300 ahead of the Athlon X2 7850, but by only a 3.4% margin.
3dsmax 9 - SPECapc 3dsmax CPU Rendering Test
Today's desktop processors are more than fast enough to do professional level 3D rendering at home. To look at performance under 3dsmax we ran the SPECapc 3dsmax 8 benchmark (only the CPU rendering tests) under 3dsmax 9 SP1. The results reported are the rendering composite scores:
Performance under 3dsmax has the E5300 and E5200 at a significant advantage over the Athlon X2 7850. The E5300 is 14% quicker than the X2.
Cinebench R10
Created by the Cinema 4D folks we have Cinebench, a popular 3D rendering benchmark that gives us both single and multi-threaded 3D rendering results.
Cinebench performance ends up being a wash between the two parts, performance in both single and multithreaded versions of the test are virtually identical.
POV-Ray 3.73 beta 23 Ray Tracing Performance
POV-Ray is a popular, open-source raytracing application that also doubles as a great tool to measure CPU floating point performance.
I ran the SMP benchmark in beta 23 of POV-Ray 3.73. The numbers reported are the final score in pixels per second.
POV-Ray shows a nearly 16% performance advantage for Intel's architecture over the Athlon X2.
Blender 2.48a
Blender is an open source 3D modeling application. Our benchmark here simply times how long it takes to render a character that comes with the application.
The performance advantage extends to over 20% under Blender. It looks like for video encoding or 3D rendering tasks, the Pentium E5300 is a much better option than the Athlon X2 7850.
Sony Vegas Pro 8: Blu-ray Disc Creation
Although technically a test simulating the creation of a Blu-ray disc, the majority of the time in our Sony Vegas Pro benchmark is spent encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.
Intel ends up slightly ahead in our Blu-ray creation test, once again an encoding benchmark but using the MPEG-2 codec rather than DivX, x264 or WMV.
Sorenson Squeeze: FLV Creation
Another video related benchmark, we're using Sorenson Squeeze to convert regular videos into Flash videos for use on websites.
The roles reverse and AMD pulls ahead in our Flash Video creation test but by only 5%.
Microsoft Excel 2007
Excel can be a very powerful mathematical tool. In this benchmark we're running a Monte Carlo simulation on a very large spreadsheet of stock pricing data.
PAR2 Multithreaded Archive Recovery Performance
Par2 is an application used for reconstructing downloaded archives. It can generate parity data from a given archive and later use it to recover the archive.
Chuchusoft took the source code of par2cmdline 0.4 and parallelized it using Intel's Threading Building Blocks 2.1. The result is a version of par2cmdline that can spawn multiple threads to repair par2 archives. For this test we took a 708MB archive, corrupted nearly 60MB of it, and used the multithreaded par2cmdline to recover it. The scores reported are the repair and recover time in seconds.
WinRAR - Archive Creation
Our WinRAR test simply takes 300MB of files and compresses them into a single RAR archive using the application's default settings. We're not doing anything exotic here, just looking at the impact of CPU performance on creating an archive:
In its first major win of the day the Athlon X2 7850 is 20% faster than the E5300 in our WinRAR compression test.
Fallout 3 Performance
Bethesda's latest game uses an updated version of the Gamebryo engine (Oblivion). This benchmark takes place immediately outside Vault 101. The character walks away from the vault through the Springvale ruins. The benchmark is measured manually using FRAPS.
While Intel held the lead for video encoding, 3D rendering and nearly all other performance tests - AMD manages over a 7% advantage under Fallout 3.
Left 4 Dead Performance
AMD's gaming advantage continues as it outperforms the E5300 by nearly 24% in Left 4 Dead. Intel has the cache advantage but the X2's lower memory latency helps it out in our gaming tests.
FarCry 2 Multithreaded Game Performance
FarCry 2 ships with the most impressive benchmark tool we've ever seen in a PC game. Part of this is due to the fact that Ubisoft actually tapped a number of hardware sites (AnandTech included) from around the world to aid in the planning for the benchmark.
For our purposes we ran the CPU benchmark included in the latest patch:
AMD continues to lead in gaming performance in Far Cry 2; this time by 10%.
Crysis Warhead Performance
In its only gaming performance lead of this comparison, the E5300 is barely faster than the X2 7850. The overall verdict though is if you're strictly gaming, the Athlon X2 7580 is a better buy.
Power Consumption
The original Phenom was hardly power efficient. Especially in a dual-core configuration the 7850 has a fairly wasteful L3 cache built on a 65nm manufacturing process; if you care about thermal output or power consumption the Athlon X2 7850 is no match for the Pentium E5300. The latter is built on the same 45nm process as Intel's Core i7 and is incredibly mature at this point.
At idle our Athlon X2 7850 and Pentium E5300 systems consumed the same amount of power, but under load the 7850 needed an extra 40W.
Final Words
Sometimes the comparisons you think may be most difficult are the easiest to call. The competition at $70 is actually pretty well defined. Intel has the advantage in nearly all of our non-gaming tests; the E5300 is anywhere from 0 - 20% faster in most cases than the Athlon X2 7850. On top of the actual performance advantage, there's a power advantage too. With the E5300 you're getting a 45nm chip that can be cooled by a very low profile heatsink or kept nearly silent with a larger one. In either case you'll have a cooler running computer, slightly lower power bill, and a more pleasant experience come summer.
If you're building a gaming box however, the recommendation shifts entirely the other way. The Athlon X2 7850 is the clear winner in gaming performance, significantly outperforming the E5300. In gaming tests the E5300 is simply too cache starved and without an on-die memory controller, each trip to main memory is too costly to compete with the 7850.
The only difficulty comes in if you do both of these things - if you're building a machine that will be used for demanding 3D games and other CPU intensive work. In that case it boils down to which you care about more and whether or not power consumption matters.
Quite possibly the most interesting take away from this review is that with the Pentium E5300 Intel delivers, at $74, a CPU that is faster than the original Core 2 Duo E6400. And as such, it's also faster than every single Pentium 4 ever made. If you're looking to upgrade from an older Pentium 4 system, it'll cost a lot less than you might guess.

In today's highly competitive markets, lenders need to ensure that they are making the right credit decisions.
Mike Herman, Ford Credit Europe: 'Their innovative products and services enable us to access the data and interpret it quickly and consistently.'
Our approach to the development of a credit bureau is to harness the power of the data that is available in each market.
A credit bureau system needs to be tailored to the market and legal requirements relevant to the country where the solution is to be deployed.
Value added products are available to exploit the potential of the bureau data.
Fraud is a growing problem in credit industries around the world. The most effective strategy to reduce the substantial cost of fraud is prevention, based on information. This means that suspicious new business must be identified at the earliest possible opportunity – at the point of application.
The majority of application fraud directed at credit grantors involves an applicant 'bending the truth' when completing application forms. This is known as 'soft fraud'.
Some occurrences are relatively harmless and go undetected, but others result in inappropriate extensions of credit, bad debt and all the associated costs which arise in the collections and recovery process.
'Hard fraud' is less widespread, but the effects on lenders are frequently more devastating, both in terms of the speed and size of the losses. Most hard fraud is sophisticated, well researched, planned in detail and is often targeted at high volume credit grantors.
Operating nationwide and using either false identities or misusing the identity of genuinely creditworthy people, hard fraud is often perpetrated by organized crime rings and can be difficult to detect using traditional credit underwriting techniques.
Experian offers innovative software packages to help lenders combat fraud. These work on the principle of comparing the details provided by the applicant with those provided in the past and highlighting any anomalies and inconsistencies, which are then referred to the lender for further investigation.
Our software highlights suspicious applicants by:
Sophisticated data matching algorithms are used to identify any inconsistencies in credit applications. These algorithms are customized to maximize the effectiveness of the data available in different countries. Flexible rule setting allows for a rapid response to changes in fraud trends.
Cross-checking information provided previously or given to other lenders is an effective method of identifying both hard and soft fraud. Below are some examples of how our software can assist in the prevention of fraud:
Used at the point of application, Experian's fraud prevention software helps lenders identify potential fraudsters prior to extending credit.

I think they're the water retention stuff that is in some compost and growbags - when they get thoroughly soaked they look blobs of jelly.
As far as I'm aware slug and snail eggs come in clutches, and are much smaller than 3 grapes!
Is it like any of these?
Pam x
I wish I hadn't looked at those! Yuck. In the past I have found lumps of snail/slug eggs but I don't believe that they were as big as 3 grapes. Also, they were not out in the open, they were in damp nooks and crannies.
I know exactly the kind of blobs your talking about. I found a few in my pots after a heavy rainfall last week, they've since disappeared. I wouldn't worry to much about them - sorry but I can't give a definitive answer, but I reckon its probably just water retentive gel, as they didn't appear to be anything inside them.
Sorry KG I only put the link on because I remember someone asking about jelly blobs somewhere else Some of the fungus does look like grapes
It might be aliens...but as it's been so dreadfully wet everywhere of late, it probably just is expanded water-retaining crystals. If they start turning green and grow legs, it's definitely aliens...

Campus Northern Tier Center caters to educators
6/29/2006 —Penn State Wilkes-Barre's Northern Tier Center, located in Towanda, Pa., is once again serving the needs of local educators this summer. The Northern Tier Center extends the resources of the University to the largely rural areas of Bradford and Sullivan Counties, whose residents do not have easy access to a Penn State campus. During the summer, graduate courses designed to meet the needs of teachers seeking master's equivalency, salary increases, and other professional development goals, are offered on weekdays June through August. The courses satisfy Act 48 requirements and are selected on the basis of their relevance to professional development requirements established by area school districts. Among the courses being offered this summer are Pennsylvania Songbirds, Environmental Education Methods and Materials, and Watershed Concepts.
In addition, the Northern Tier's TICKET (Technology Integration Certificate for K-12 Educators of Tomorrow) program offers the curriculum and training teachers need to incorporate technology into their classrooms. Teachers are instructed on the use of technology to enhance classroom learning and teaching, for use in problem solving, and effectively using video and hypermedia as learning tools. Teachers completing the certificate will earn 15 graduate credits, which can also be applied towards a Penn State Master of Education degree.
For more information on Penn State Wilkes-Barre's Northern Tier Center, contact John Swayze, Continuing Education representative, at 570-265-2171, ext. 3019.

Glass cutting
I made this short vid of me cutting glass for an aquarium lid :)
Good stuff looks easier then cutting acrylic.
Thanks for the video gives me inspiration to try it, I've always been scared but you made it look easy.
Just remember to use your safety equipment, gloves are good and safety glasses, especially if you don't wear glasses. Good instructional video :thumbsup:
