This update is a tool to enhance communication between the NCAA national office and the NCAA Division III membership, with distribution to directors of athletics, senior woman administrators, faculty athletics representatives, presidents, national SAAC, conference commissioners and the NADIIIAA list serve. We encourage directors of athletics to share this communication with their athletics department staff. Please contact Louise McCleary at firstname.lastname@example.com to include an item or share comments, and remember to log in to the Division III governance homepage for the latest news and information.
Hot Topics
Recruiting Working Group (RWG)
At the 2014 NCAA Convention, the RWG presented nine concepts to the membership, and collected feedback either through straw-poll voting or roundtable discussion and feedback. Click here for the RWG Executive Summary that details the roundtable feedback. The RWG recently forwarded two legislative proposals to the NCAA Division III Management Council and continues to work on the development of one or two more concepts. At its May in-person meeting, the RWG will determine if it will propose any additional legislation, as well as develop recruiting best practices.
2014 Grad Rate Reporting
This is the fifth reporting cycle for Division III member schools to voluntarily report the graduation rates of their student-athletes, and the NCAA Division III Presidents Council strongly encourages all institutions to participate in the program. The 2013 reporting cycle showed that for the 139 institutions that submitted data, student-athletes are graduating at a higher federal rate than their general student counterparts (68 percent to 61 percent respectively). However for consecutive years, the report has shown a lower rate for football players and African-American student-athletes – a topic that needs further attention and data. The Council is asking for assistance in this regard. Moreover, the Council believes that this aggregate report is relevant and valuable for the division as a whole, as well for individual institutions, in emphasizing the academic value and success of Division III's intercollegiate athletics programs. Those institutions that have participated are asked to continue their commitment to the program and discuss with presidential colleagues the program's relevance and value. Those who have not participated in the past are encouraged to consider submitting data during this upcoming reporting cycle. Division III has retained its honorarium fund to encourage the voluntary submission of student-athlete data. The reporting portal is now available and will close June 1. Questions concerning the reporting process should be addressed to Maria DeJulio, 913/397-7668, or Eric Hartung, 317/917-6306.
Division III Week
Participation in Division III Week continues to grow, with 218 member institutions (49 percent) showing support during the 2014 celebration April 7-13 via activities ranging from hosting multiple events on campus to promoting events with Facebook posts and Twitter messages. The participating schools represent 40 of Division III's 43 multisport conferences. Many schools created outstanding editorial content to promote the week (including more than two dozen schools that produced videos), and approximately three dozen schools conducted activities benefiting Special Olympics. In some instances, schools also incorporated National Student-Athlete Day and the 40th Anniversary celebration into the week's activities. The attached report indicates activities that were reported or that otherwise were called to the attention of the national office. If you are aware of participation by a school or an activity that is not noted in the report, please report that information via the Division III Week online reporting form or the firstname.lastname@example.com email address.
Using social media, schools also helped Division III raise funds for Special Olympics, by encouraging "likes" at our Facebook page and new followers for our Twitter feed. Including donations collected at a staff event at the NCAA national office, Division III donated $2,628.28 to Special Olympics North America. Looking ahead to 2015, dates are set for the fourth annual Division III Week, scheduled for April 6-12, 2015. While planning for next year's event, remember to make use of resources and to check for updates at our Division III Week website.
Research Extra Point
Approximately once a month, the research group posts a "Research Extra Point" on NCAA.org. These are one-page snapshots (summary and graphic) of a particular finding from some of our larger studies. A recent extra point highlighted that nearly one-quarter of students who attend Division III colleges participate in NCAA athletics. An important part of the mission of Division III is to ensure that these student-athletes have a comprehensive college experience, engage fully in college life and develop a strong connection and sense of belonging to the overall campus community.

Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) Updates
Faculty Athletics Representatives (FAR) have a unique role in intercollegiate athletics. They serve their student-athlete populations by understanding the challenges of being a student-athlete and simultaneously FARs must understand athletic department and NCAA policies. However FARs also must be independent of the athletics department in order to advocate for student-athlete well-being and address issues. It can be a difficult balance. Fortunately, there are a number of professional development opportunities for FARs to learn from their peers, athletics department professionals and NCAA staff.
All FARs have the opportunity to attend the Faculty Athletics Representatives Association (FARA) Annual Meeting and Symposium (FAMS) and the NCAA Annual Convention. The FARA Executive Committee recently began the planning process for FAMS which will be held November 13-15 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This symposium will be the 25th anniversary of the establishment of FARA, and this year's meeting will celebrate that legacy. The 2015 NCAA Convention (January 14-17, 2015 – Washington, D.C.) also provides an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the FAR role and helps to provide context to Division III and intercollegiate athletics. These professional development opportunities are important enough to the division that the NCAA allocated grant funds, available through your conference offices, to help support travel. Additional information on both of these opportunities will be available as we get closer to the fall semester, but FARs are encouraged to start planning now to attend these meetings. One other opportunity to develop your leadership skills as an FAR is available through the Division III Faculty Athletics Representatives Fellows Institute. Scheduled for October 17-19, applications are coordinated through conference offices and is limited to 30 FARs per year. A brief article on the Institute was in the last issue of the FARA Voice.
Regardless of which of these opportunities FARs might be able to attend, the most important thing is to recognize that the FAR is in an important position. Participating in professional development opportunities and continuing to develop in the role helps to ensure that student-athletes are able to make the most of their experiences. For more information about the FARA Annual Meeting please feel free to contact Michael Miranda, NCAA liaison to FARA.

2013-14 NCAA Student-athlete Sportsmanship Awards
These awards honor student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through demonstrated acts of sportsmanship and ethical behavior. The awards are administered by the Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct (CSEC), which was established in 1997. From the nominees, the CSEC is encouraged to select six divisional honorees, one male and one female (individual or group) from each division, as well as one team chosen from all divisions. This year, the CSEC requests that nominations be sent directly from institutions to the NCAA. Conference approval and submission of nominations to the NCAA is no longer required, however, institutions are asked to notify their conference of nominations they have sent. The submission deadline is June 17, 2014.
2013-14 NCAA Bob Frederick Sportsmanship Award
The award will honor a coach, administrator or staff member (past or present) who possesses a demonstrated history of sportsmanship. This individual will have displayed the utmost respect for NCAA intercollegiate athletics and all who participate by leading by example and promoting positive fan involvement in and out of the competition setting. As Bob Frederick was, the recipient of this award will be known by his or her dedication to preserving the integrity of intercollegiate athletics. The submission deadline is June 17, 2014.
Per Diem Suspended for 2014-15.
Based on a recommendation from the championships committee, the Management Council voted to suspend implementation of championships per diem increases slated for 2014-15. The specific per diem suspensions include a $5 increase from $95 to $100 in the per diem rate for participating institutions and a half-day increase in the number of days per diem provided in team-sport championships; the changes were estimated to cost $1.2 million annually. Understanding that the planned per diem changes were intended to more fully fund the championships experience for participating institutions, the council believes that the changes are necessary to control for the anticipated increase in championships travel expense as well as provide a foundation for future budget planning for the championships program.

U.S. scientists successfully drilled into Lake Whillans, a subglacial expanse of water hidden deep beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, they reported on Sunday (Jan. 27).
About a month ago, a similar British attempt to reach subglacial Lake Ellsworth had failed. Drilling operations for the WISSARD project (Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling), which is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs, started on Jan. 21.
Over the next couple of days, equipment will be lowered down the 2,625-foot (800-meter)-deep hole to carry out measurements and to obtain water samples for further study on board container-based scientific laboratories on the surface. As of Sunday (Jan. 27), the WISSARD team said they may have penetrated the lake surface.
"Sensors on the hot water drill show a water pressure change, indicating that the borehole has connected with the lake," they write on the WISSARD blog. "Verification awaits visual images from a down-borehole camera this evening. We are excited about the latest developments at the lake!" (Photos: Subglacial Lake Whillans Drilling Site)
On Dec. 9, I visited the WISSARD test site on the Ross Ice Shelf, just off the coast of the Antarctic continent and close to McMurdo Station, as a selected member of the NSF Antarctic media visit program. The test site resembled a small factory, with generators, water tanks, labs, workshops, data centers and, of course, the actual drilling platform – all mounted on giant skis. In the background were the tractors that would pull the whole installation to Lake Whillans, across hundreds of miles of solid ice.
"This is a first go," said Ross Powell of the University of Northern Illinois, one of WISSARD's 13 principal investigators. "Next year we hope to return to drill more holes."
Frank Rack, a geologic oceanographer of the University of Nebraska who leads the WISSARD drill team, explained how a powerful jet of pressurized hot water is used to melt a hole in the ice.
"Our hot water drill is state-of-the-art," Rack said. Part of the system, including two 225-kilowatt generators and the power distribution modules, had previously been used to drill the holes for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The technique is simple in principle, but prone to unexpected problems. "My biggest worry is that something might get stuck," Powell said. With the successful completion of the actual drilling at Lake Whillans, this worry has now been laid to rest.
A big concern for the WISSARD team has been to prevent contamination of samples from the subglacial lake with microorganisms. After all, an important goal of the project is studying the lake's ecosystem, if it exists at all. Even at 195 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius) — the temperature the pressurized water for drilling is heated to — water contains a lot of spore-forming bacteria. That's why the drilling hose is fed through a collar of ultraviolet lamps: the energetic radiation kills 99.9 percent of all microorganisms.
In contrast, the Russian team that drilled into subglacial Lake Vostok last year used kerosene to lubricate the borehole – a technique significantly less clean than hot-water-drilling.
Microbiologist Jill Mikucki of the University of Tennessee is pretty sure there might be life under the ice: microorganisms that are able to thrive in the cold, dark, isolated subglacial lakes. She doesn't expect to encounter larger organisms, because there's so little energy available at 2,625 feet (800 m) below the icecap, but "microbes are everywhere," Mikucki said. "There's even potential to find new species."
Subglacial microbes could accelerate weathering of rocks, Mikucki explained, releasing silicon and iron that finds its way into the ocean and serves as nutrients for other life forms. "I want to find out how they help to run the planet." (Antarctica Album: Stunning Photos of IceBridge Mission)

The Physician of the Future
In an address to a meeting at Leeds, held as part of the national health campaign, Lord Horder said that inevitably the physician's work in the future will be more and more educational and less and less curative. More and more he will deal with physiology and psychology and less and less with pathology. He will spend his time keeping the fit fit rather than in trying to make the unfit fit. And we must make it worth his. while to do this work. This reorientation of his education and his work is overdue, and it will remain overdue until reorientation takes place in the attitude of the health authorities toward him and toward his sphere of usefulness. And we must not think that his education is finished for all time when he becomes qualified. It is

April 30, 2016
It's been 10 years in the making, but Southwest Georgia Technical College finally has a new building with bigger classrooms, administrative offices, and a boardroom.
Faculty, staff, students and community members celebrate the expansion and the future of the college.
Dr. Freida Hill, the president, says, "It means that we'll be able to have some programs and classes that we've not had before. Although we're still very crowded it gives us more space. These classrooms are designed to hold more students that our older classrooms."
Faculty say the new building and state-of-the-art equipment will enhance the learning experience for students here at the college.
Don Crews, a psychology instructor, says, "It gives me an advantage because I have a lot of work for the students to do online, and with having the computers, I can just pull the laptops out, have them go over the information as I want to."
Jason Mustain, a student, says, "The services that come along with the building have made it that much more pleasurable to come to school, and the added parking helps too."
Southwest Georgia Technical College plans to ask the state to fund a second building to accommodate the growing number of students interested in programs at the college.

Location: Swindon, Wiltshire. Just off M4 Junc 15
Member since March 2013
Location: Draycott Foliat, GB
Condition: Used
Reason for Sale: Injured and off the water till next year.
Postage: Pick up only as I'm currently injured and can't drive.
Brand: Hot Sails
Sail Area: 4.0 m
Range of use: Wave/Freestyle
2013 Hotsails Maui Firelight 4.0 in Team colours and Reef edition; Ox Webbing above the boom cutout (I've snapped a mast on another sail before with this stuff and wouldn't even know, amazingly strong!)
The lightest production sail on the market, but still powerful, and a very rare sail in the UK!
This 4.0 has only been used twice! Unfortunately after it's first outing, while I was getting changed, a small dog must have run on a part of the sail and created a minute hole on the X-ply. This was covered with a sticker to stop migration (see pic). However this sail looks straight off the shelf and the tiny hole is reflected in the price of this immaculate 2013 sail.
Comes with immaculate bag and batten key.
5.0 also for sale on BOARDS.

Arthouse Films, a terrific new company specializing in documentaries about art, has released an important documentary called Obscene: A Portrait of Barney Rossett and Grove Press. As was once said about another film, this one has "something to offend everyone." Rossett published allegedly obscene books by everyone from William Burroughs, Allen Ginsburg, and Henry Miller to the "anonymous" works of Victorian pornographers. Many of these works are now considered classic texts, studied by scholars and appreciated by millions of readers. And of course, by today's standards, they are by no means considered shocking or fringe.
Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in the New York Times:
Appropriately framed by Mr. Rosset's raucous 1989 interview with Al Goldstein, the colorful publisher of Screw magazine and no stranger to litigation himself, "Obscene" is a warm, entertaining compendium of counterculture voices (including Jim Carroll and Amiri Baraka) and literary landmarks. It's the story of a man who follows his own drummer — usually with rum and Coke in hand — and believes in "nourishing the accidental." We should all be grateful that he does.
Rossett's story is an integral part of the cultural tumult of the era and a precursor of the culture wars of today. He was a pioneer in publishing — and in First Amendment law. His courtroom battles are as important as the works he published. To paraphrase the words attributed to Voltaire, "We may not agree with what he said — we may find it disturbing, disgusting, or offensive — but I would defend to the death his right to say it."

Col. Charles M. Taylor, Restored Army Dentist
May 3, 2013
By Andy Watson
Related Links
Fort Campbell's Taylor Dental Clinic is undergoing extensive renovation. Similarly, the image of Col. Charles M. Taylor to whom the facility is memorialized, has also been repaired. Fran Trachta, a graphic artist and photographer with the AMEDD Center of History and Heritage at Fort Sam Houston, received a faded, scratched, and orange-tinted image of Taylor dating from World War I.
"Most of the detail in the original is pretty bad. Now you can actually see the coloring in his eyes." said Trachta. After making copies and altering them through the computer, Trachta was able to bring new life to the image. Visitors to the clinic will be able to enjoy the updated dental facility and view Taylor with new clarity.
Biography Charles M. Taylor (1888 -- 1968)
Charles M. Taylor was originally from Vancouver, Washington and attended the University of Oregon. A consummate athlete, Taylor was a member of the track, baseball, and football teams. During the 1910 football season he set some amazing records. On 22 October 1910, Oregon played the University of Puget Sound. It was an astonishing victory with Oregon reaching 115 points to Puget Sound's 0 points. Taylor, a half-back, was responsible for 10 touchdowns and 56 total points during the game.*
Taylor joined the Army in 1914 after graduating from North Pacific Dental College of Oregon. During World War I he served at Camp Fremont near Palo Alto, California as the acting division dental surgeon for the 8th Infantry Division organizing and providing dental care as the division trained. He was responsible for many dental aspects and readiness concerns at the beginning of unit formation. Taylor would later serve with the 8th Infantry Division in France and during the occupation in Germany. During occupation he served as president of the newly created Occupation Dental Association. Taylor was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel at the war's conclusion, but was later reverted to a permanent grade of Major.
After the war Charles Taylor was stationed at Walter Reed General Hospital. He was able to attend the new Army Dental School and studied oral pathology and bacteriology. Later Taylor attended the Medical Field Service School at Carlisle Barracks in the 1930s. Taylor would then serve as the Dental Surgeon of West Point. While serving in this capacity he was able to coach the academy's baseball team and scout for the football team. During World War II Taylor served as a dental surgeon for an Army Service Command area and was promoted to full Colonel in 1942. After World War II, Col. Taylor would again be part of the occupation force in Germany, serving as the Dental Surgeon for European Command until his retirement in 1950.
Taylor Dental Clinic was constructed in 1976 and was dedicated on 22 February 1977 in memory of Col. Charles M. Taylor. The clinic has had several small construction updates since 1976 but this year's work (2013) is the first total renovation of the building. The renovation will also add an additional 2,000 square feet for more patients. The clinic supports a population of over 10,000 Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
*Records from the University of Oregon Football Guide 2006. Other sources list Taylor's point total from the game to be much higher at either 67 or 81 points.

Facebook Resistance is a research initiative accepting the status quo of Facebook beeing the dominant social identity management system, researching on ways to change it's rules and functionality from inside the system, locally via Browser App.
FB sets the rules of how-to behave, so we're asking: Are we happy to live in their visualisation of our online identity or do we want to change it? A change can be as trivial as adding a background-image. Facebook designing your online identity is like IKEA designing your appartment. The only individuality lies in the family pictures standing in your BILLY shelves.

Most people actually have some abdominal definition but it is, of course, submerged below belly fat. No amount of ab exercise by itself is going to show the definition. The key is to combine nutrition, cardio and resistance exercise to show definition by losing fat while gaining tone.
Throughout our website you will find information on some of the ways other people just like you have taken control of their daily habits. With bettering your nutrition, and getting in exercise, you can obtain the stomach you are looking for, and decrease your belly fat. Every one has a six pack; it's just harder for some to find it.
Once you do accomplish your goal of leading a healthier life, the trick then will be to keep your belly fat from getting out of control again.
Losing Belly Fat Tips - Lose Weight Now!
Keep the Belly Fat Off!

Once again, to get rid of your belly fat, you are going to have to put in work. There is no magic diet. People try them because they want a quick solution to their weight problem and appearance. That's not the way it works. You have to eat right, exercise, and get good sleep if you want to look your best, and feel better about yourself.

"...Alexander Wendt has provided one of the most sophisticated and hard-hitting constructivist critiques of structural realism. Social Theory of International Politics provides the first book-length statement of his unique brand of constructivism." International Security
"Alexander Wendt's Social Theory of International Politics is one of the most important books of international relations (IR) theory to be published in the past few decades...Wendt's contribution is impressive and deserves consideration by all students of IR, as well as those who seek to understand the role of ideas, norms and culture in political life...Wendt's book systematically tackles a host of devilishly difficult and professionally contested issues with a clear-eyed, eloquent, and original approach...with this extraordinarily thoughtful book, Wendt has made the best analytical case so far for taking seriously the social nature of international politics."

As the summary described:
One thread is waiting for request to accept and another thread is trying to configure the block mode on the same channel.
I will attach one test case file to describe the problem.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
In the ServerSocketChannelImpl.java, it holds the blockingLock, and because it is in blocking mode, so the accept() keep waiting. But in another thread which want to change the blocking mode, it also want to hold the blockingLock in the configureBlocking(boolean) method, which result in a deadLock.
In the patch, I simply remove the sychronized block to resolve the thread deadlock because the bolckingLock has been synchronized in blockingLock() method located in AbstractSelectableChannel.
This patch can make the test pass and no new test failures found in luni and nio unit tests.
I wonder, does this change hava any side effect?
If the main thread got the blocking mode and release the blockingLock, then before the main thread do the real IO operations, another thread change the blocking mode, what behavior it should be?
I found following description in the spec of the InterruptibleChannel interface says:
"A channel that implements this interface is asynchronously closeable: If a thread is blocked in an I/O operation on an interruptible channel then another thread may invoke the channel's close method. This will cause the blocked thread to receive an AsynchronousCloseException."
Any comments?
Hi Ray,
What does the RI behave if one is accepting and another is trying to change the block mode?
From the native aspect, when accept is called for a blocking socket, it should be blocked. So if we have configure it as block and accept, the process should be put to sleep. During this sleep, if we change the blocking mode, it should not have any affect.
Hi Charles,
I modified my testcase by adding two statements and ran it on RI:
The output showed that the blocking mode has been changed from "true" to "false"
And I also ran the test case on harmony which has applied my patch,
the behavior is same as RI's.
However, in our implementation I found following code in
protected void implConfigureBlocking(boolean blockingMode)
throws IOException
See? Actually it just changes the flag in java code.
For RI, is it also a flag? Or really change the mode in native code?
We can not know.
Ray Chen
Hi Ray,
I have misunderstood your test case. It should throw AsynchronousCloseException when another thread close the Channel. If you comment out the ssc.configureBlocking line, harmony and ri all works well.
About configureBlocking mode: if you comment out the ssc.close line, you will find that ssc.accept still wait for a connection, even though it is set to NON_BLOCKING. It is kind of reasonable from the native view but unreason from the java view.
Any way, I agree your patch.
One more thing, ServerSocketChannelImpl use select to fake the NON_BLOCKING, but SocketChannel set flag on fd to support the NON_BLOCKING. Does anyone know where does this difference come from?
Patch looks good but it would be good to have a regression test if possible.
Applied patch in r921764. Please confirm (by closing this JIRA) that it has been applied as expected.
Integrated in Harmony-1.5-head-linux-x86_64 #661 (See http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Harmony-1.5-head-linux-x86_64/661/)
Applying patches from "[#] [classlib][nio]ServerSocketChannel

[Terra Monsters] newb guide
Edit: BTW THIS IS SPOILDERS ALERT TO NEWBS WHO WANT TO HAVE FUN IN THE GAME AND LET THE SURPRISEMENT MAKE IT FUN WITHOUT SOME GUIDE HELPING YOU.
Dude, this guild sucks, this is how YOU STARTED THE GAME. Not how THE NEWBS STARTED THE GAME. It's their chose which their destiny will going this game. No one can control what they do. I started out with Niptune, Racket and Tomaling, then moved on to different monsters. I chose my destiny to have cute monsters and advantage monsters.
Mothball has a great advantage with it turns into a air monster when its fully evolved. Plus what if they want to catch all the Terra Monsters, would they want to let it go? NO! I would catch Mothball sooner or later.
Dandylion when fully evolved has more stats then a Carnivice, plus advantage, it doesnt mean it's weak, that depends if you train it correctly.
Yeah Allistinker is good, but what about when you go around in Aduro, I think you die to all those fire creatures before you even get to lavrym. he maybe be an earth with water moves, but all monsters are not that strong.
I have seen people with Tomahawk, to me its cute. Everyone always say, DITCH THAT STUPID BIRD! Well Tomahawk can be strong if you train him right. I trained my tomaling to LV 20 but had to release him, that's because Ranches were Terra Dollars, not Honor Points.
Leviacuda may be good to have but, would you want everyone having a somewhat tanky monster walking around? Or would you want the monster you choose that is cute or something you want?
Yeah Lavyrm is a good monster to have, but would you want to waste like all your money and crystals over it? Rares are super had to catch, I had to use a Mega on it. You would need a monster with whitebreath to get it, but you would have to wait till you reach Skyward. Lavyrm doesn't die fast, at Verdane council it never dies when I train him.
Rackets are worth it, get a LV 1 (sprited) then you be able to train it. It doesn't matter what type, what abilities, what disadvantages they have. That would depend on your training and how you do it.
I reached Aduro with LV 10s, by Verdane (LV 17+) you should be able to evolve your monsters.

Helias girls battle for victory against Lebanon
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Lebanon kept knocking on the door. Helias just wouldn't let it open.
Helias held off repeated Lebanon threats to pick up a 54-48 victory Tuesday night at Rackers Fieldhouse.
"They don't let up on you," Helias head coach Doug Light said. "They're always coming at you. They put a lot of pressure on us. I think for the most part we made a lot of good decisions. That was a huge win for us. Last home game of the year, our seniors get to go out winners on their home floor. It was big."
Meghan Nappier scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Mai Nienhueser chipped in with a double-double of her own (16 points, 12 rebounds) to lead Helias.
"She attacked them, which we felt watching film that we could do that," Light said of Nappier. "She gets up in the open space, she's pretty good at that. She knocked down some key free throws. That was big."
Helias held just a 39-38 advantage with 6:36 to play. The Lady Crusaders held a 15-10 edge the rest of the way. Nappier scored six points in the final frame, including a 4-of-4 performance from the foul line.
Lebanon cut the deficit to 47-46 with 1:29 to play. Nappier canned a pair of free throws before diving for a loose rebound on Lebanon's ensuing possession. Nienhueser scored on a putback and Nappier added another pair of foul shots to put the game out of reach.
"(We) made all the plays (down the stretch)," Light said. "We missed some shots but then we came back and found ways to make it happen. We defended a little better. … I think we found some ways to stop what they were doing and just had the answer at the end. You've got to be able to do that, you've got to be able to close a game out."
Lebanon freshman Kelsey Winfrey scored a game-high 28 points on 9-of-20 shooting. She had 22 points after three but didn't score in the fourth quarter until less than two minutes remained.
"We kept trying to make a focus of finding where she was, because if she gets lost in a zone you're in trouble," Light said. "She can do so many things, she's so talented. Give our kids credit, they were finding her and stopping her from getting all those open looks. So that was huge for us."
Helias opened up the game on a 9-0 run. Kelsi Bernskoetter hit a 3-pointer from the corner just 8 seconds into the contest, and Nappier and Nienhueser combined for the next six.
"We just came out with a lot of energy and confidence," Light said. "That's what I told them. I said, 'A big start's going to be huge against this team. I don't want them to get that.' We jumped out after them and took a little control early. We knew they'd come back at us. They're a really good team."
Lebanon cut the deficit to 15-9 after one quarter and 26-25 at halftime.
"They were getting to the rim," Light said. "We told our kids that's what they're really good at, we've got to stop that. At halftime we told them two things. 'We've got to make our shots underneath and we have to stop them from getting there.' That's what our whole focus was going to be. I think we limited them a little more. They didn't seem to get in there as much as they did. Because they were just tearing us up."
Lebanon took its first lead of the game when Winfrey hit a 3 to open the second half. After a Nienhueser jumper tied it, another 3 from Winfrey put the Lady Jackets up 31-28.
Nienhueser scored the next six points to put Helias up for good. Helias led 37-36 entering the fourth quarter and held on from there.
Mikalyn Callahan added 12 points for Lebanon (9-13).
Helias (14-10) closes out the regular season Thursday at Owensville.
"They've got a girl named Hailey Diestelkamp. She's incredible, so it will be fun playing them," Light said.
Helias won the JV game 45-18 to improve to 16-2 on the season.
Ashley Rehagen paced the Lady Crusaders with 13 points.

Glee Recap 11/15/12 – 'Glease'
Grease is the word!
This week at McKinley we got to see the kids of New Directions mount their production of that most ubiquitous of high school musicals, and all the drama that ensued (which, this being Glee, was plentiful).
We open on Mr. Schuester waltzing into the choir room to make an announcement. Brittany's first thought: "Adele is dead." Fortunately, the news is much less tragic, and much more welcome for fans long-frustrated with Schue's useless presence on the show: Will is leaving for DC! And he'll be missing sectionals! Fortunately, he's got his mini-me, aka Finn Hudson, waiting in the wings as his replacement. Tina, of all people, is outraged at this turn of events and utters more words than she has in the past five episodes combined. Seems she's not too keen on the idea of a friend of hers who graduated four months ago basically becoming her new boss. Can't say I blame her, but I would take Finn over Schue any day.
Will and Finn are promptly dragged by Sue into Figgins' office. Sue overheard the announcement of Finn's new position because she replaced the eyes of the fat lady on the plaque in the choir room with cameras. She protests that Finn isn't a certified teacher, but Figgins overrules her: as Glee Club is just an extracurricular activity and not a class, it doesn't need a certified teacher, just an adult supervisor. (I would still take issue with Finn Hudson being identified as an "adult," but the point stands.) Sue storms out in one of her patented rages, underscored by the booming chorus of Carmina Burana, scattering students like a frightened flock of pigeons.
Next: Rachel makes a big mistake.

Mo. panel OKs suggestions for disaster response
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri House committee studying disaster response recommends making it easier for health care providers from other states to help. The study also supports offering a property tax break and establishing low-interest loans to offset property damage.
The panel suggests allowing doctors, nurses and other medical providers licensed in other states to assist in disaster zones. Other recommendations include a property tax break for businesses that are damaged during a disaster, and offering interest-free loans to help offset insurance deductibles or help those without insurance for damaged property.
A House committee voted 9-2 on Wednesday to approve the recommendations. This year Missouri was hit by a spate of natural disasters, including tornadoes, flooding and a severe blizzard.

Is it ok that my 12 month old doesn't speak any words?
My son was born tongue tied, he had it clipped at birth. He is just over a year old now and he doesn't so call babble at all. He only says AHHHH. He has been saying that for a long time now already. He does immitate kisses and other like noises so I don't think it is his ears. Anyone else have a baby that didn't talk at this age that did well later on? What should I do?

Got another freecycle betta...
This one is a female and she has hardly any fins she was in a tank with tiger barbs and they picked on her so the last owner decided to rehome her. I had not planned on getting more bettas or setting up more tanks but when the fish is free and I got extra tanks setting around I just can't say no. :lol:
Here is her tank please ignore the the string around the rock I trimmed some java moss from another tank to put in this one.
And here is the best picture I could get of her:
Way to go Calmwaters! Poor little girl. She sure is a pretty little thing. I can only imagine how pretty she is with all of her fins. I wonder if she a Veil Tail? Halfmoon? Plakat? How exciting . . . I'd love to see her when she's all healed up. Great rescue!
I agree beautiful girl, and beautiful coloring. At least she is now in a better setting.
Awwwww... she's so cute. She must feel like she's gone to fishy heaven after being bullied like that.
Kudos to the person who gave her up rather than flush her. And thumbs up to you of course for taking her in.
Thanks you guys she loves swimming around the rock thats in the tank.
She is beautiful, I have never seen a female with that colouring in any of my LFS'...well done on taking her in. Are you going to give her a name?
I hope it heals up well and quickly.
What size tank is that? I really like how its set up, its like simple but nice.
Thanks everyone.
Grimm its a 2.5 gallon from petsmart.
Nice, I think my eclipse one is that size. Its been out of use for a while cause I gave up on bettas after the one I had in there died(after a couple years), and I usually have bad luck with them, and I royally fudged up and killed my blue/white crowntail and blue ram and many others in my 75. But I might have to get another now, along with that moss. They have some nice "dragon" ones at my petsmart....
I say go for it!

Comments about Alesis LineLink Dual 1/4" to USB Cable Interface:
I recently purchased an Alesis LineLink in order to record my sound mix from a small Peavey 8 channel desktop mixer. I sometimes have problems getting my audio software to recognize the signal (Audacity), even after manually changing the signal source on Windows XP's system volume and in Audacity itself. Other programs I tried it with have a similar problem. Once I manage to get the signal working, one of the two wires seems to carry considerably more noise. To make sure it wasn't a problem with my mixer, I also used it with my Casio WK keyboard's stereo line out and had the same problem. Sometimes unplugging and reinserting the 1/4 in. plug fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't. Once you can finally get it to work, it works great, but every time you plug it in be prepared to take anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour to get it to work (and that's if you're above proficient when using a computer). I may have to go back to my old method of using a 1/4 in. plug to 1/8 in. plug cable to connect my mixer to my computer's mic-in port.

April 30, 2016
Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Georgia Public Service Commission is holding a hearing next week on a proposed Georgia Power Rate Increase.
Commission spokesman Bill Edge said Tuesday that the Oct. 1 hearing will feature a public comment session on the utility's plan to increase rates beginning in January 2014.
Edge says Georgia Power filed a request in June to increase rates by $280 million -- which translates to a monthly fee of about $4.55 for residential customers who use 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month.
In an alternate three-year proposal, the company requested the commission to approve a plan to allow the utility to increase its retail rates by $482 million -- which would be an increase of about $7.84 per month for customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours.
Edge says public testimony may continue Oct. 2.

Bisbee AZ Authorizes Civil Unions
Jim Burroway
April 3rd, 2013
The tiny southeastern Arizona town of Bisbee — pop: 6,000; unofficial motto: "Keep Bisbee freaky;" located just four miles from the Mexican border — has adopted an ordinance to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples. The terms of the city's civil unions are extremely limited: while it covers joint property ownership, property inheritance, guardianship and adoption rights, it only applies within the city's boundaries, which effectively makes it no different from a number of domestic partnership registries in Tucson, Phoenix, and other Arizona cities. Bisbee City Attorney John MacKinnon acknowledged that in the end, the ordinance's impact will apply only to things within the city's control, such as personnel policies.
But it's the term "civil unions" which has caught Arizona's conservatives off guard. Who knew that they would suddenly become all riled up over the sanctity of civil unions?
And just hours before the meeting, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, at the urging of state lawmakers from Cochise County, sent a letter warning Bisbee that his office would take legal action against the city if council members approved the ordinance.
Horne said Bisbee does not have the authority to offer civil unions and that "the impact goes beyond (city) boundaries."
MacKinnon, referring to Horne and the state, said: "They chose to interpret it broadly. We believe this was a desire to make a political statement."
MacKinnon said he was proud to bring the issue to the council. "I think for too long many of us have been silent while we have witnessed discrimination against some in this community," he said. "It's time to stand up."
In fact, state law does not address domestic partnerships or civil unions. Arizona voters in 2006 refused to adopt Prop 108, a constitutional amendment which would have banned domestic partnerships and civil unions in addition to same-sex marriage. In 2008, conservatives placed Prop 102 on the ballot to ban same-sex marriage only. That proposition passed by a margin of 56% to 44%.
However, there is a possibility that Bisbee's civil unions ordinance may be successfully challenged in court. The ordinance addresses, for example adoption rights, which are regulated by state law. These clauses are moot in the city of Bisbee since there are no adoption agencies in the city. But even if there were, those agencies would be regulate by state law, which cannot be superseded by a city ordinance. Horne has promised to challenge the law in court. The Center for Arizona Policy, an official state policy council for Focus On the Family, has also promised to sue, and threatened additionally to bankrupt the city.
And you can safely bet your life savings that the neanderthal state legislature will quickly act to patch any other legal holes they can find to ban local governments from recognizing same-sex relationships altogether. After all, it's one of two things our state government loves to do more than anything else in the world. The other is panicking over made-up stores about kidnapping, headless corpses and other wild imaginings from the anti-immigration crowd.
In 2010, Bisbee was named the gay-friendliest city in Arizona. You can read more about Bisbee here.

Belize… Belize lives in my heart and in my day dreams. I fell in love with my sweetheart in Belize. Just the word Belize makes my toes wiggle as through they were in sand instead of dress shoes. I can smell the vanilla scent of One Barrel and taste the remnants of the Jerk meal I just devoured. The whisper of the word Belize makes my ears reach for the sound of the wind in the trees and the call of the birds. I feel as though the week that I spent in Belize was the best dream I ever had. It is a magic place at the cross roads with ancient human civilizations and awesome geographical formations. The mountains and the sea. The gorgeous butterflies and astonishing birds. Animals big and small living in some of the most beautiful country in the world. The elegant mix of people of Latin, South and Indigenous American decent and the smooth rolling language of those of African heritage. The colorful and brutal human history of colonization and slave trade. The best way to respect the natural and human history of Belize is with ecological conservation. Make people slow, stop and listen. Listen to Belize. I keep trying to follow the directions and write a proper essay-but it is impossible. What would the thesis be? The Lodge at Chaa Creek is the perfect place to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. We are on the brink of the decision to start a family. We feel that we must visit Belize, the heartland of our love before we embark on the next phase of our lives. While at your lodge we will listen, laugh, love, explore, adventure, share and show our gratitude. Our gratitude to The Lodge and to Belize. Thank you for this opportunity.

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews appeared Friday morning on the NFL Network.
He said the team's mental approach to games will be better off without ex-coach Norv Turner.
"I think we were just complacent," Mathews said of the players. "We spent a lot of time there. It was just kind of the same routine over and over again. There wasn't anything new. I think he did everything he could to try to make us win — no doubt about it. I just think we really got complacent to where we were and what we were doing and thought we were owed to win games."
Mathews also discussed his run of injuries. The former first-round pick acknowledged hearing people say he's "made of glass."
"I've got to stop taking so many hits," Mathews said. "I need to quit fighting for those extra yards when I don't need to."

As I thought back on the time we've played with the set, I realized something surprising: The only time the three of us spent a sustained period of time using it together was right after we first took it out of the box.
The 1,200 pieces in the set come all mixed up in a bunch of small pouches. Before we built anything we decided to sort them by type as we all sat on the floor. That took a full hour. It was strangely meditative. A rare quiet descended on the house as we tossed the little bricks into growing piles.
