4 week old hasn't had a dirty diaper for almost 2 days. What to do?
My daughter will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I have breastfed her from the start, and her diaper count has been great, until now. She hasn't had a dirty diaper for a couple days. There will be a spot on her diaper. I think her bowel movement is changing from the yellow mustard look to a different one, since the last spot I saw looked like a bit of coffee grounds. Has anyone had a problem like this? Please help!

This can be normal for bf babies. my son goes every 3 days. Breastmilk is the perfect food so there is little waste. The coffee grounds thing however, is not. Call your baby's doctor.posted 02/18/2013 by IrishTwinMommaOf2

Call for Speakers
The Queerness and Games Conference
The second annual Queerness and Games Conference (QGCon), hosted at UC Berkeley on October 25 and October 26, 2014, is happy to invite proposals for conference sessions now through June 15. Applicants will be notified by July 15. To submit, see instructions below.
Now in its second year, QGCon is a free, weekend-long, interdisciplinary event. The goal of QGCon is to create an open and inclusive environment for discussing the intersection of video games and LGBTQ issues, however you define them. QGCon brings together academics and game developers to foster dialogues that break traditional disciplinary boundaries. The QGCon organizers believe in the importance of creativity and play as tools for intellectual and personal exploration. We are particularly interested in broadening our focus to address issues of race and gender non-normativity, and we encourage submissions from folks who have long gone underrepresented in games and the games industry.
The theme for this year's QGcon is Difference at Play. This theme is designed to spark ideas, not to limit them. Feel free to submit a session proposal even if your idea falls outside the theme. Some questions inspired by the theme might include:
- What does it mean to play differently?
Other questions related to queerness and games that speakers might consider include:
- What does it mean to play queerly?
QGCon welcomes proposals from speakers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to: game developers, indie designers, academics, artists, and activists. Potential session types include but are also not limited to: solo talks, pair or group talks, panels, workshops, live interviews, microtalks, and play sessions. Please feel free to be creative when envisioning your presentation.
In order to submit, please send the following to email@example.com by June 15, 2015. Applications will receive notifications by July 15.
1) A 300- to 500- word abstract of your proposed session, including a description of any visual or interactive elements. Be sure to specify what type of session you are proposing, if you are proposing to speak with other speakers (e.g. on a panel), and how long you would like to present for.
2) A 50- to 100-word bio for each presenter.
Feel free to direct any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to your submission, and we can't wait to see you at QGCon 2014!

Student Savings Account
The National Bank of Coxsackie is pleased to announce their Student Savings Program! Weekly or monthly, your child will have the opportunity to make a deposit which will be recorded in their register. This teaches them the importance of saving money as well as how to keep track of their deposits.
These accounts can be set up through participating schools or by stopping into your local branch!
Encourage your child to save
- Set a goal – Sit down with your child and make a "wish list" so they have items to work towards purchasing.
- Let them earn money – Make a chores list with your child. By working for their money it will give it more value.
- Track their progress – Help them keep a basic register so they can watch their savings add up.
- Rewards their efforts – Consider matching their savings or giving small prizes for different dollar amounts reached.
How does it work?
Student Savings Accounts will be opened as "Custodial Accounts" under the NY Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. Any reportable interest is under the name and Social Security Number of the minor.
What does that mean?
The money on deposit belongs to the minor. The minor has no access to the account (except for deposits). Only the custodian can withdraw money, to be used for the benefit of the minor. When the minor turns 21 the funds on deposit are turned over to him/her.
Ready to get started?! Collect the necessary items listed below and stop into your local branch to sign up today!
Items needed for child:
- Name and date of birth
- Copy of Social Security Card
- Physical address (No PO Boxes)
Items needed for parent:
- Name and date of birth
- Social Security Number
- Identification (Social Security Card, driver's license, passport, government issued ID)
But wait, there's more!
Best of all, NBC will make the first deposit into the child's account once it's opened!
The children receive prizes once a month for making deposits and once a year there will be a drawing of active accounts for a child to win a grand prize!
Our bank uses the average daily balance method to calculate interest on your account, if applicable. This method applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The above mentioned account descriptions are not all encompassing. To request a full account opening disclosure by mail contact:

Interested in exploring my submissive side...
About myself
Tall, pale, sassy redhead, looking for dominant men to explore this side of me... I love funny people who don't take themselves too seriously. What's the point if you're not having fun?? I'm not actively searching for a long term relationship, but if that evolves, I'm open to it. I'm pretty well known in my industry, so I can't post a pic. I will send one after contact.
The person I would like to meet
I'd like to meet men who are interested in teaching and helping me learn about the D/S lifestyle. Someone who is fun, funny, understanding and gentle when it's necessary, along with being firm enough to help me grow.
About my work
Work is very important to me, and I work a lot of hours. I am however, going to make time for this area of my life.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I love to hang out with my friends and have cocktails, live bands, any kind of music, I'm a voracious reader, addicted to romantic vampire (NOT that horrible Twilight caca!!) movies and such.
My idea of a great date
I like going someplace where we can talk and laugh; movies are not great for a first date, but wonderful for a 5th.
What is your fantasy vacation?
Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Did I mention I'm a redhead?
What is your academic background?
Some college, close to an accounting degree. Left school to work full-time before I completed the degree.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
I went to Seattle to visit some friends and had a great time. That great (great!!) time is why I'm on here...
What do you find attractive in people?
Humor, honesty, baldness (I do love the bald...) goatees, great hugging skills, cuddling ability, etc.
What do others do that irritate you?
Talk incessantly. Silence is golden for a reason... :)
What do you think is your best quality?
Humor. If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not allowed to laugh at others. And I can't see giving that up!
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I'd be more patient with idiots. They normally can't help being stupid.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Are you an experienced top/dom? Have you ever been described as creepy?
Describe your physique.
Tale, pale redhead, freckles galore, large breasts, no butt (dammit!) dimples, great smile, brown eyes.... What else would you like to know?
What do you do well sexually?
I think this is something to be discussed one-on-one
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
I think this is something to be discussed one-on-one
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
I think this is something to be discussed one-on-one
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
I think this is something to be discussed one-on-one
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
No, and don't want anyone who does
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
Open to all three
Free Space. Say anything you want!
Whew! That's a very intense questionnaire! Please contact me if you think we might be compatible to explore this new world I'm looking in...

Tedford vs. Texas: First Meeting
Cal (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12) and Texas (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) will meet for the first time in 41 years in the 2011 Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl. Both teams enter the game with identical overall and conference records. Cal finished fourth in the North division of the Pac-12, while Texas tied for sixth in the Big 12. Only two seasons ago, the Longhorns played in the BCS National Championship Game, falling 37-21 to Alabama at The Rose Bowl.
Cal finished the 2011 campaign with three victories in its final four contests, with its only loss during the stretch by a slim 31-28 margin on the road to a Stanford team that is headed to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma State after finishing the regular season ranked No. 4 in the BCS Standings, AP Top 25 and USA Today Poll. The Bears started their final month of the regular season with home victories over Washington State and Oregon State, and finished November with an emphatic 47-38 road victory in their regular-season finale over an Arizona State team that had been nationally ranked most of the season.
Texas began its 2011 season with four straight victories and was 6-2 before dropping three of its final four regular-season contests. Two of the three losses came to nationally-ranked teams on the road at Kansas State and against Baylor at home. The Longhorns also fell on the road at Missouri. The lone win during the stretch came in their rival game at Texas Tech.
Texas holds an all-time series lead of 4-0 over Cal, and was ranked in the nation's top 10 in each previous meeting, including the last matchup in 1970 in Austin when a second-ranked Longhorns club prevailed, 56-15. A No. 10 UT team also took the first meeting in 1959 in Austin, 33-0, while the other games were contested in Berkeley with No. 4 Texas squads winning 28-3 in 1961 and 17-0 in 1969.
Cal and Texas will see more of each other in the near future as the teams have scheduled a home-and-home series for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, with the Bears visiting Austin on Sept. 12, 2015, and UT making a return trip to Berkeley on Sept. 10, 2016.
More on the Bears-Longhorns Matchup
Cal and Texas have put up strong numbers on defense, with the Longhorns No. 14 in total defense (315.33 ypg) and the Bears No. 26 (339.42 ypg).
Cal's defense will go up against a Texas offense that is powered by the nation's No. 19 rushing team (210.42 ypg) but only No. 85 in passing (193.58 ypg).
Cal's balanced offense that is No. 37 in total offense (418.67 ypg), No. 38 in passing (251.50) and No. 48 in rushing (167.17 ypg) will face a Texas defense that has been stingy against the run at No. 11 (103.67 ypg) and No. 47 in pass defense (211.67 ypg).
Cal's Quick Hitters
Cal's 2011 team features an All-American and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in linebacker Mychal Kendricks, while three others (WR Keenan Allen, P Bryan Anger, OL Mitchell Schwartz) joined Kendricks as first-team All-Pac-12 selections.
Cal is bowl eligible in 2011 for the ninth time in 10 seasons under Jeff Tedford and playing in its eighth bowl in the last nine campaigns.
Cal has clinched its eighth winning season in the last nine years in 2011.
Cal is playing in the Holiday Bowl for the third time, having defeated Texas A&M (45-10) in 2006 after a loss to Texas Tech (45-31) in 2004.
Cal has an all-time bowl record of 10-9-1 dating back to the team's first bowl game on January 1, 1921, a 28-0 victory over Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
Head coach Jeff Tedford is one win away from his 80th career and Cal victory as he wraps up his 10th season as Cal's head coach.
Bowling and Winning
Cal has done a lot of both lately with the Bears bowl eligible for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons and playing in their eighth bowl in the last nine campaigns in 2011. Cal has also clinced a winning record for the ninth time in the last 10 campaigns. Cal was bowl eligible for eight straight seasons (2002-09) and played in a school-record string of seven straight bowls from 2003-09. The Bears also equaled another school record with eight consecutive winning seasons before all the runs finally came to an end in 2010 when the Bears finished 5-7 and out of the bowl picture. In its seven consecutive bowl appearances, all under head coach Jeff Tedford, Cal posted a 5-2 (.714) record that also included a school-record four straight bowl wins from 2005-08. Tedford is only Cal head coach to ever record more than two bowl victories.
A Decade of Sustained Success Under Tedford
Cal averaged eight wins per year in the first nine seasons (2002-10) under head coach Jeff Tedford and ranked tied for third among Pac-10 teams in victories during that period. The Bears have an opportunity to extend their average of eight wins per season to 10 in a row and close out their first decade under Tedford with 80 victories if they can defeat Texas in the Holiday Bowl. Below is a look at Cal's year-by-year results and bowl appearances in the Tedford era.

Kendricks RACKS UP THE HONORSbr>
Mychal Kendricks (Sr., LB) has been the Bears' top award winner following the 2011 regular season. He has been named a second-team All-American by both Phil Steele and College Sports Madness, third-team by Yahoo! Sports and honorable mention by SI.com. At the conference level, he was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year by the conference coaches, who also named his first-team All-Pac-12 along with College Sports Madness, the ESPN Pac-12 Blog, Phil Steele and Yahoo! Sports. Kendricks is tied for third in the Pac-12 in tackles per game (1.08 tflpg) and tackles (8.0 tpg), while leading the team in both with totals of a career-high 96 tackles and 13.0 tackles for loss. He also co-leads the squad with a pair of interceptions that he has returned for a team-high 62 yards, while adding 3.0 sacks, two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries that he has returned for 33 yards. Kendricks has posted four double-digit tackle games in 2011, including a career-high-tying and team season-high 15 stops at Washington. He also had 13 tackles at Stanford along with a season-high-tying 2.5 tackles for loss (-18 yards) and his first full sack of the season when he dropped Heisman Trophy runner-up Andrew Luck for a 14-yard loss. Kendricks was a fourth-team midseason All-American and first-team midseason All-Pac-12 choice according to Phil Steele.
Kendricks is Cal's active career leader in tackles (248), tackles for loss (35.0), sacks (13.5) and fumble recoveries (7) in 50 games played and 28 starts. He has added four interceptions, a forced fumble, five pass breakups and one blocked kick. Kendricks became the seventh Cal player to earn Pac-10/12 Player of the Year honors. Previous selections include Chuck Muncie (1975), Ron Rivera (1983, Co-Defensive), Mike Pawlawski (1991, Co-Offensive), Deltha O'Neal (1999, Defensive), Daymeion Hughes (2006, Defensive) and Marshawn Lynch (2006, Offensive).

Keenan Allen ranks second in the Pac-12 and tied for 12th nationally with his per-game average in receptions (7.42), as well as third in the Pac-12 and 12th nationally with his per-game average in receiving yards (105.08). The third-team midseason All-American choice according to Phil Steele led the nation in receiving yards per game for two weeks after contests against USC and Utah. He has career and team-high totals of 89 receptions, 1,261 receiving yards and six touchdown catches. His reception and receiving yard totals are both second on Cal's all-time single season lists, while his touchdown total is only one score from entering the school's all-time single-season list. All three are already career highs. His average of 14.2 yards per reception leads the team's receivers with at least one catch per game and is also a career best. Allen posted a then-career high of 10 catches and a career high 197 receiving yards (fifth all-time on Cal's single-game list) against Washington, with the 197 receiving yards marking the seventh most by a Pac-12 player in 2011. He then set another career-high two games later against USC with 13 grabs for 160 yards, with the 13 receptions tying for third on the school's all-time single-game list. His five 100-yard receiving games are tied for third in the Pac-12. He has had at least five catches and 61 yards receiving 11 of his 12 games in 2011, with the only exception being when he was held to season lows of three catches and 29 receiving yards against Oregon State. Allen also paces the club with 1,340 all-purpose yards and an average of 111.67 per game that ranks 11th in the Pac-12 and 74th nationally. In addition, he is fourth on the team in scoring with 36 points. Allen was one of 10 Biletnikoff Award semifinalists for the honor given annually to the nation's top receiver, as well as a candidate for the Paul Hornung Award bestowed upon the nation's most versatile player.

Allen Chasin' and Breakin' Records
Keenan Allen's current 2011 totals of 89 receptions and 1,261 receiving yards are 11 receptions and 243 yards shy of Cal's single-season records in those categories set by Dameane Douglas in 1998 (100 receptions) and Geoff McArthur in 2003 (1,504 receiving yards). His current totals both rank second on Cal's all-time single-season lists. After 23 games in just under two seasons at Cal, Allen is threatening to move onto the school's all-time top-10 lists with his career totals of 135 receptions (three shy), 1,751 receiving yards (296 shy) and 11 touchdown catches (two shy). He already has six career 100-yard receiving games to rank tied for sixth all-time at Cal. Allen has set one record at Cal in 2011 when he caught a 90-yard touchdown pass from Zach Maynard at Washington that was the longest pass play in school history.
Sofele CAL'S LATEST 1,000-YARD RUSHER
Isi Sofele gave Cal its' ninth 1,000-yard rusher in the last 10 years when he reached the mark while rushing for a career high 190 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries against Oregon State. He has since moved to sixth on Cal's single-season rushing list with a total of 1,270 yards on the ground on 232 (5.5 ypr). Sofele is 86 yards away from the fifth spot on the list that Marshawn Lynch currently holds with his 1,356 yards in 2006. He also has a team-high nine rushing touchdowns, a team-high-tying nine total touchdowns, and is tied for second on the squad in scoring with 54 points. In his last six games, Sofele has found paydirt in five of them. His 105.83 yards per-game rushing average has him ranked fourth in the Pac-12 and 20th nationally. Sofele has five 100-yard rushing games to rank tied for fourth in the Pac-12 in that category and has posted at least 74 yards rushing in 11 of his 12 contests in 2011, reaching the mark in every game other than USC. In addition, he has one double-digit run in all 12 of his contests. Sofele is second on the team with his 1,329 all-purpose yards, with his per-game average of 110.75 ranking 12th in the conference and 77th nationally.

Jones AND ALLEN CATCH STREAKS
Marvin Jones extended his catch streak to 37 consecutive games at Arizona State (school record is 42 by Robert Jordan from 2004-07). Keenan Allen also has a streak going that covers each of the 23 games he has played at Cal since 2010.
Maynard's First Season As Starting Quarterback
First-year starting quarterback Zach Maynard has completed 212-of-372 (57.0%) of his passes for 2,802 yards, with 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions for a 129.43 quarterback rating. Maynard is currently sixth on Cal's all-time single-season list for passing yards and needs 198 yards in the air in the Holiday Bowl to become only the third Cal passer to ever throw for 3,000 yards in a season. He is another 21 yards shy of Nate Longshore's 3,021-yard season in 2006 that is the second-most passing yards in Cal history. Pat Barnes holds the school's single-season record with 3,499 in 1996. In addition, Maynard ranks fourth on the school's single-season list with 2,949 of total offense and is within range of both the second and third-places seasons on the list posted by Aaron Rodgers (3,113, 2003) and Nate Longshore (2,969, 2006). Pat Barnes also holds the school record with 3,416 yards of total offense in 1996.
Maynard came on strong at the end of the 2011 campaign as evidenced by the dramatic rise in his completion percentage, touchdown to interception ratio and quarterback rating. Over the last four games, he has completed 68.1 percent of passes, thrown for five touchdowns to one interception, and posted a 154.25 rating. Over his first eight contests, he hit on 53.4 percent of his passes, had nearly as many interceptions (10) as touchdowns (12), and a rating of 121.31.
On the season, Maynard has thrown for at least 200 yards and completed at least 15 passes in nine of his 12 starts, including each of his first seven contests. He arguably posted his signature game at Stanford when he was 20-of-29 (69.0%) for 280 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception, posting slightly better stats than Stanford's Heisman Trophy runner-up Andrew Luck. Maynard has either thrown or run for a touchdown in 11 of 12 contests, while both throwing and running for a score four times. He has also rushed 76 times for 147 yards and four touchdowns on the season. On three occasions, he has rushed for over 35 yards including a career-high 52 in the season opener vs. Fresno State and 40 in the regular-season finale at Arizona State.

Anderson's Role Increasing as Backup Tailback
C.J. Anderson has been emphasized in Cal's offensive attack more over the past four games, compiling a combined 197 yards on 32 rushes (6.2 ypr) with a team-high four touchdowns all on the ground, and catching five passes for 167 yards (33.4 ypc) during the period. Anderson had a huge game in the regular-season finale at Arizona State, becoming the first Cal player to score three touchdowns in a game in 2011. In that contest, Anderson rushed 10 times for 48 yards and two scores while also catching a pass from Maynard for a short gain that he turned into a 74-yard play and his first career receiving touchdown. On the season, he has rushed 68 times for 343 yards (5.0 ypr) and caught seven passes for 186 yards (26.6 ypc). He has nine touchdowns (eight rushing, one receiving) to co-lead the team and is tied for second on the club in scoring with 54 points.
Holt Steady Again in 2011
D.J. Holt, who shared the team's Bear Backers MVP Award on the defensive side of the ball with Mychal Kendricks and was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 choice, is second on the squad for the second consecutive year with his 81 tackles. In addition, he has added a career-high 10.5 tackles for loss (-40 yards) that are also second on the 2011 club, with at least 1.0 TFL in each of his last nine games. His per-game averages of .88 tackles for loss and 6.75 tackles rank eighth and tied for 10th in the Pac-12, respectively. Holt has added 2.0 sacks (-13 yards) to double his career total, two pass breakups and two quarterback hurries while starting all 12 games. For his career, Holt is tied for first among active Cal players in forced fumbles (3) and second in tackles (217). He has also added 20.5 tackles for loss (-66 yards), 4.0 sacks (-26 yards), two fumble recoveries and eight pass breakups.

Anger Again Among Nation's Best
Bryan Anger, who broke a 23-year-old single-season Cal record with a 45.6 yard punting average in 2010, has once again proved he is among the nation's best in 2011. For each of the past three seasons (2009-11), he has earned first-team all-conference honors and also captured the J. Scott Duncan Award as the team's Most Valuable special teams player. Anger is one of only four players in the history of Cal football to be named first-team all-conference for three consecutive seasons. Given the College Football Performance Awards Elite Punter Trophy for his performance over the last two seasons, Anger has had yet another banner season in 2011 in his fourth campaign as the team's starting punter. He is averaging 44.57 yards per punt in 2011 to rank second in the Pac-12 and 11th nationally for those with the NCAA's minimum number of punts per game. His 2011 average is also fifth on Cal's all-time single-season list and has improved his career average to 43.54 yards per punt, second on Cal's all-time list. He earned an honorable mention spot on Phil Steele's 2011 midseason All-American squad. If Anger can keep his 2011 punting average above his 42.7 he will finish his career with three of the top seven seasons ever by a Cal punter.

Tavecchio Having Memorable Senior Season
Giorgio Tavecchio has made 19-of-22 field goal attempts for a Pac-12 high 86.4 percentage and also leads the conference in field goals per game (1.58), ranking tied for 11th nationally in the latter category. Tavecchio paces Cal in scoring with 92 points (tied for 49th nationally) and has moved into fifth place on the school's all-time scoring list with 252 career points. He is the first Cal player to pace the Pac-12 in field goals made since Doug Brien led the conference and the nation in 1991 with an average of 1.73 per game. No Cal player in recorded history has ever led the conference in field goal percentage. He is also sixth in the Pac-12 in scoring and third in scoring among kickers with a per-game average of 7.7. In addition, his career-high 17 points at Arizona State in the regular-season finale are tied for the most by a Pac-12 player in 2011 and earned him Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the second time in his career. He also has a career-long 54-yard field goal at Oregon in 2011 that is the longest by a Pac-12 player this season, while his nine extra-point makes and attempts vs. Presbyterian both equal the most by a conference player in 2011.
Tavecchio, who has played in 45 contests at Cal from 2008-11, is within reasonable striking distance of the third-place position currently held by Jim Breech (260 points, 1947-77). Tom Schneider (257 points, 2004-06) is currently fourth. Tavecchio has made 47-of-63 (74.6%) field goal attempts and 111-of-119 (93.3%) extra-point tries. He has also kicked off 242 times in his career for 14,585 yards and an average of 60.3 yards per kickoff with 14 touchbacks, leading all active Cal players in each category. Tavecchio made the first 65 extra-point tries of his career before the streak was snapped on his second PAT attempt in the seventh game of his junior year against Arizona State. He also has eight career tackles.

Big Plays Are Back
Big plays have returned to the Cal offense in 2011. The Bears have had 62 plays (41 passing, 21 rushing) from the line of scrimmage that have covered 20 or more yards in 2011, easily surpassing the total of 39 the Bears posted in 12 regular-season games last year. With an average of 5.2 plays per game covering 20 or more yards in 2011, Cal is only slightly behind the pace of a stellar big-play season in 2009 when the Golden Bears had 72 plays that covered at least 20 yards for an average of 5.5 plays per game. Zach Maynard has been involved in a team-high 40 of the 62 plays this season, while other big-play playmakers on offense have included Keenan Allen (17), Isi Sofele (14), Marvin Jones (12), C.J. Anderson (6), Anthony Miller (4), Michael Calvin (4), Allan Bridgford (3) and Will Kapp (1). The longest play of the year was a school-record 90-yard pass from Maynard to Allen at Washington, while the longest rushing play was Isi Sofele's 56-yarder against Oregon State.
Big Plays Are Back on Defense, Too
For the second consecutive season, Cal is among the conference and national leaders in sacks. Through the first 12 games of 2011, the Bears have 32.0 sacks and are third in the Pac-12 and 17th nationally in sacks per game (2.67). A year ago, Cal led the Pac-10 and ranked No. 13 nationally with an average of 2.86 sacks per game. Cal's tackles for loss numbers are way up in 2011 with a total of 92.0 as the Bears' per-game average leads the Pac-12 and ranks fifth nationally (7.67).

The Bears have a net yards per punt average of 40.24 and have improved significantly in each of the two seasons under special teams coordinator Jeff Genyk, picking up 11 spots from their No. 30 position (37.31 nypg) the year before Genyk's arrival to No. 19 in 2010 (38.51 nypg) and another 12 spots to their current No. 7 position.
The Defensive Side of the Ball
Cal is second in the Pac-12 in total defense (339.42 ypg) and leads the conference in pass defense (209.08 ypg), ranking 26th and 43rd nationally, respectively. The Bears also pace the Pac-12 and are ranked fifth nationally in tackles for loss (7.67 tflpg), as well as are third in the conference and 17th nationally in sacks (2.67 spg). In addition, the Bears share the league lead in opponents' first down, allowing only 17.8 per game. In the back-to-back wins over Washington State and Oregon State that started their successful final month of November, Cal only allowed a combined 13 points and held the Cougars and Beavers to an average of 48.0 rushing yards per game.

Bears as the Best, against the Best
Cal is 15-8 when playing as a top-10 team and 36-21 when ranked in the top 25 of at least one set of rankings since head coach Jeff Tedford took over in 2002. Cal has played 32 nationally ranked teams during the Tedford era and posted a 13-19 record in those contests. The Bears are 0-2 in 2011 against nationally ranked teams with losses at Stanford (No. 8 AP, No. 9 BCS/USA Today and Oregon (No. 9 AP/USA Today) on Oct. 6 and Nov. 19 in their only games against ranked teams in 2011. In 2009, the Bears recorded back-to-back wins in consecutive weeks over nationally ranked teams for the first time since 1950, defeating No. 18 Arizona (Nov. 14) at Memorial Stadium before winning at No. 14 Stanford (Nov. 21). Cal has dropped five consecutive games against ranked teams since, falling to No. 23 Utah in the 2009 Poinsettia Bowl, last season to No. 6 Stanford and the top-ranked Ducks, and then again to Oregon and Stanford in 2011. Cal will take on one more ranked team in 2011 against Texas (No. 24 BCS) in the Holiday Bowl.
Prior to the 2011 campaign, Cal had been ranked among the nation's top 25 teams at one point in each of the previous seven seasons and eight times in nine campaigns from 2002-10. The Bears have yet to be ranked in 2011 but were among teams receiving votes in the USA Today Poll twice in weeks three and four, and the AP Top 25 in week four.
Home and The Road
Cal posted a 4-1 record in its five 2011 regular-season home contests while playing at AT&T Park. Cal was 1-0 in neutral site games in 2011 (a 36-21 win over Fresno State in the season-opening Battle by the Bay at Candlestick Park) and 2-4 in road contests. The Bears will return to Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, which is currently undergoing an extensive renovation and retrofit, for their 2012 home contests.
Tied for Third Nationally in 90-yard Plus Drives
Cal is tied for third nationally in 2011 with five scoring drives of more than 90 yards that have all resulted in touchdowns. The Bears had drives of 92 and 91 yards in their season opener against Fresno State, 91 on the first possession at Washington, and 91 and 96 vs. Oregon State. Cal established season highs season highs in plays (16), yards (96) and time elapsed (9:01) on the second drive of 90-plus yards against the Beavers.
Offensive Line Now at 145 Combined Starts
The Bears' 2011 offensive line features a significant amount of starting experience. The Bears have had the same five starters in 11 of their first 12 games in 2011, with the only exception Brian Schwenke being replaced at left guard by Justin Gates in the ninth game of the season against Washington State when Schwenke missed the game due to an illness. The six players that have starting experience for Cal having combined to make 145 collegiate starts - Mitchell Schwartz (50), Justin Cheadle (34), Matt Summers-Gavin (24), Schwenke (23), Dominic Galas (13) and Gates (1).
Score 30 or More Points, Usually Win
Cal is 61-5 all-time when putting 30 points or more on the scoreboard under head coach Jeff Tedford, with a 6-0 mark in 2011. Cal has scored 30 or more points in six of its seven victories this season, with the wins coming over Presbyterian (63), Arizona State (47), Colorado (36), Fresno State (36), Utah (34) and Washington State (30). The Bears had won 30 consecutive games when they scored at least 30 points prior to a 52-31 loss at Nevada on Sept. 17, 2010. When the Bears don't score at least 30 points, their record under Tedford is 18-42, including a 1-5 mark in 2011 with losses to Stanford (28), Washington (23), Oregon (15), at UCLA (14) and vs. USC (9). The Bears did defeat Oregon State, 23-6, despite not scoring 30 or more points.
Turnover Margin a Key
The turnover battle has been emphasized since head coach Jeff Tedford's arrival at Cal in 2002 and rightly so. The Bears are 45-8 when committing fewer turnovers than opponents during the Tedford era, compared to 17-10 when tied and 17-28 when opponents win the battle. In conference games, Cal is 28-6 with a positive margin in turnovers, 10-7 when the turnover table is tied and 10-24 with a deficit. However, the numbers in 2011 have not following the trend quite as strongly as in previous seasons as the Bears have won three games (Fresno State, at Colorado, Washington State) despite not winning the turnover battle. Cal did win the turnover battle in victories over Presbyterian, Utah, Oregon State and Arizona State. Turnovers also played a critical role in losses against USC and at UCLA, with Cal turning the ball over a season-high-tying five times in each contest. Cal also turned the ball over twice in a loss at Stanford, while the Cardinal turned it over only once. Cal has won the turnover battle twice (at Washington, at Oregon) in its five losses.
Cal has scored 82 points either on or on the drive immediately following their 23 turnovers in 2011. The Bears' defense directly counted for 12 of the 82 points on a 19-yard fumble return by Trevor Guyton vs. Fresno State and a 32-yard interception return from Josh Hill against Utah.
On the Tube
Cal has played on television in 66 of its last 68 games, with the team's only two non-televised games during the span home contests vs. Washington State (Oct. 24, 2009) and Presbyterian (Sept. 17, 2011). The team's Holiday Bowl against Texas is scheduled to be nationally televised by ESPN, giving the Bears five nationally-televised ESPN games in 2011 and a sixth national broadcast on FSN at Washington. A total of 107 games, including the 2011 Holiday Bowl, will have been televised in the first 10 seasons under head coach Jeff Tedford.
Winning the Time of Possession Game
Cal is third in the Pac-12 with an average time of possession of 32:01. Cal has outpossessed its opponent in eight of its first 12 games in 2011, including six of its seven wins.
Cal in the NFL
A total of 215 former Cal football players have been drafted or have experience on an AAFC, AFL or NFL roster as of Dec. 15, 2011, including 33 players that are currently on NFL rosters according to ESPN.com, which is the second-most among Pac-12 schools behind only USC. A complete listing of former Cal players in the NFL and more information about their professional football careers is located on pages 28-29.
Rodgers, Bishop Super Bowl Champs; Rodgers MVP
Former Cal football players Aaron Rodgers and Desmond Bishop are reigning Super Bowl champions after Green Bay defeated Pittsburgh, 31-25, at Cowboys Stadium in Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. Rodgers was the first former Cal player to be named the game's MVP, and is also the first of the record four former Cal quarterbacks to start the game to be victorious.
Four Selections Add To Strong NFL Draft History
Four former Cal players were selected during the 2011 NFL Draft. Cameron Jordan was the first Bear picked when he was taken in the first round by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 24 overall pick. Shane Vereen and Chris Conte were selected on the draft's second day, with Vereen going to the New England Patriots in the second round (No. 56 overall) and Conte being chosen in the third round by the Chicago Bears (No. 93 overall). Mike Mohamed was picked up by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round (No. 189 overall).
"I'm happy for all these guys," head coach Jeff Tedford said. "All of them are really, really happy. It's gratifying to me for the reason that they entrusted their careers to come to Cal to see their dreams come true."
Cal Draft Notes: Cal's four players selected in 2011 were the most Bears taken in an NFL Draft since six were picked in 2008 ... Cal had three players in the top 100 to rank tied for sixth among schools nationally ... Cal has had 36 NFL Draft selections in the last 10 drafts ... Jordan was Cal's 26th first-round pick and the eighth in the last 10 drafts ... Jordan became the second consecutive defensive lineman chosen from Cal in the first round in as many years, joining the No. 10 overall selection of Tyson Alualu by Jacksonville in 2010 and making the Cal only the second team in the Pac-12 to have ever had defensive linemen selected in the first round in back-to-back drafts (USC is the other) ... Cal has had four first-round draft picks in the last three drafts, with at least one in all three.
Academic Prowess Continues
Cal has posted 103 Pac-12 All-Academic honors in the first 10 seasons under head coach Jeff Tedford, second-most in the conference during that span. Nine Cal student-athletes were honored on the 2011 Pac-12 All-Academic Football Team, including four first-team selections in Mark Brazinski, Ernest Owusu, Mitchell Schwartz and John Tyndall.
In 2008, Alex Mack earned the Draddy Trophy (later renamed the Campbell Trophy) honoring college football's top scholar-athlete, while Mohamed was a finalist for the honor often referred to as the "Academic Heisman" in 2010 after earlier being given an NFF Scholar-Athlete Award. Giorgio Tavecchio was a semifinalist for the honor and a candidate for an NFF Scholar-Athlete Award in 2011.
50-Game Club
Bryan Anger, Mychal Kendricks and Mitchell Schwartz have all played in 50 career games. Schwartz has started all 50 but Syd'Quan Thompson's school record of 52 starts set from 2006-09 remains out of reach for Schwartz as the Bears have only one game remaining on their 2011 schedule. D.J. Holt has played in 49 career games and will have a chance to join his teammates in the 50-game club at the Holiday Bowl.
LAST GAME IN CAL UNIFORM for 21 players
The 2011 Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl will serve as the final game in a Cal uniform for 21 players. The list includes Bryan Anger, Michael Calvin, D.J. Campbell, Sean Cattouse, Justin Cheadle, Ryan Davis, Coleman Edmond, Justin Gates, Trevor Guyton, D.J. Holt, Marvin Jones, Will Kapp, Mychal Kendricks, Brock Mansion, Anthony Miller, C.J. Moncrease, Robert Mullins, Ernest Owusu, Mitchell Schwartz, Giorgio Tavecchio and John Tyndall. All but Mullins are seniors who will exhaust their collegiate football eligibility after the Holiday Bowl. Mullins is scheduled to graduate and does not intend to use his final season of eligibility.
Three of Cal's five losses in 2011 came to a trio of teams in Stanford, USC and Oregon teams that are ranked fourth-sixth in the final regular-season AP Top 25. The other two defeats came on the road at bowl-bound teams Washington and UCLA, with the Bruins also the winner of the Pac-12 South division and a participant in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game. The combined record of the five teams that have defeated the Bears in 2011 is 45-17 (.726).

Heat and Harvest: Climate Change and California's FarmsDownload audio (MP3)
From citrus groves to tomato fields, California is home to a $30 billion agricultural industry. But rising temperatures and lower water levels, which some attribute to climate change, are hitting crops hard. The cherry industry alone lost $22 million last year. How are these changes affecting our farmers? We get an overview of the new documentary "Heat and Harvest," a co-production of KQED and the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Host: Dave Iverson
- Barat Bisabri, managing partner at Shiraz Ranch, a farm in Stanislaus County where they grow almonds, olives, pomegranates and other citrus fruits
- Craig Miller, KQED Science editor, host and co-reporter for "Heat and Harvest"
- John Trumble, professor of entomology at UC Riverside
- Mark Schapiro, correspondent for the Center for Investigative Reporting/California Watch which co-produced "Heat and Harvest"

UND has posted its 2011-12 roster on its website with only one surprise — Michael DiPuma, who committed earlier this summer, is not listed. Will be looking into details behind that.
There are no changes in numbers among veterans. Rookie numbers are:
5 Nick Mattson, D
8 Dan Senkbeil, D
13 Connor Gaarder, F
15 Mike Parks, F
16 Mark MacMillan, F
17 Colten St. Clair, F
19 Rocco Grimaldi, F
21 Brendan O'Donnell, F
22 Andrew Panzarella, D
28 Stephane Pattyn, F
Some fun with numbers:
- Grimaldi's favorite number is 23. Not going to be wearing that one here. Last time he didn't wear that number was his year with the U.S. Under-17 team. He wore 91 that year, I believe.
- St. Clair was the only player who was able to keep his number from juniors. He wore 17 with Fargo last year.
- The last time a forward wore 28 was Brandon Carlson, who played 7 games for the Sioux in 1995-96.
- The last time a defenseman wore 8 was Nick Fuher from 2002-05.
- Number 6 will be left vacant for the third year in a row. Nobody has donned it since Zach Jones (who got married last weekend, by the way).
- Number 25 will be left open for the first time since the 1994-95 season.
- It had seemed that the numbers of star players had often been left vacant for a year, but that's not the case this year with 5 and 21 being picked up right away.

A 29-year-old La Jolla "beach bum" is causing waves around the country for claiming to rely on $200 a month in government food stamps in a Fox News report that showed him buying sushi, lobster and coconut water, driving what looks to be a Cadillac Escalade and describing his typical day like so: "Wake up, go down the beach with my friends, hit on some chicks, start drinking."
Maybe there's no such thing as bad publicity for a wannabe rock star, and maybe the whole thing's a hoax, but 29-year-old Jason Greenslate's interview with Fox senior national correspondent John Roberts — about the nation's food stamp enrollment surge — has stirred outrage on both sides of a debate over the government program.
Critics say it's evidence of abuse and fraud. Critics of Fox News say it highlighted someone who's not representative of a program that's primarily a hand up for people with families and in need.
Red Alert Politics followed up the report with its own, writing, "With more than 47 million Americans enrolled in SNAP — costing taxpayers nearly $80 million last year — unabashed food stamp recipients like Greenslate are common in a program that has been also plagued by abuse and fraud."
On the other end of the spectrum, a critical post on Media Matters reported this under a headline blasting Fox's "shameless representation" about the aid program: "Surely it would not have been difficult for Fox to find a realistic face of food stamp recipients, as 76 percent of SNAP households include a child, elderly person, or disabled American. This dishonest depiction of SNAP is the latest example of Fox's long-standing tradition of maligning the poor."
Greenslate gets $200 a month placed on a so-called SNAP card courtesy of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
"$200," Greenslate says on camera. "Free money. It's radical. Why not?" Later, on the beach, he says, "This is my job right here — to make sure everything's rolling smoothly, to make sure the sun's up and the girls are out."
Here's a sample of reactions from YouTube. Read on for many more.
liz smith: This doesn't make sense. He's driving a $50k car. He has thousands of dollars in musical instruments. No source of income. He's so over the top in 'eat lobster' comments etc etc. Honestly, I think this could be a propaganda piece.
Kim Parigoris: I want to get in my car, drive to San Diego, and find this punk and hit him on the side of the head with a 2x4.
Jon Slagill: $200 really isn't much. He's really not happy with himself I'm sure. No one likes being a loser.
Seth Breidbart: I'll give you $100 if you can find him and this story is anything like true.
The Blaze: Why Does This Beach Bum Spend Your Tax Dollars So He Can Surf, Drink, and Score 'Free Food' Year Round? Because 'It's Awesome'
ambrosia: 1 word………Ugh! 2 words…….Social Parasite! 3 words……Get a job!
zapparules: $200 a month. Not too many lobster dinners gonna be affordable with just $200 a month. Curious… Do all you screaming (correctly) about a waste like this do the same when it comes to calling out the waste in say… Our military? Or the wasted Billions given in tax breaks, subsidies and the like to some of our most profitable corporations? Which is worse? A beach bum taking $200 a month or… Very well compensated military or corporate 'leaders' taking millions in gov't handouts?
RRSJD: I hope it makes you do more than want to shrug. This guy is the definition of the social leach and low information voter. Democrats love this guy and his ilk. Someone needs to pull the plug on his benefits and give him some reality therapy.

Plein air painting at the Inn

Last summer I got a call from a friend at River Tree Arts (www.rivertreearts.com) asking if it was possible for them to hold a Plein Air watercolor painting class at the English Meadows Inn. One call lead to another and soon several of the Historic Inns of Kennebunkport had agreed to host Plein Air classes in their respective gardens. The program expanded this year and we will host two Plein Air sessions this summer. The classes are taught by Judith Kinsman, a very highly regarded artist and teacher in New England (www.judithkinsman.com).
The classes run weekly all through July and August and usually have about a dozen artists attending. The skill level varies considerably but the work is outstanding. Its a real treat to see the Inn's gardens captured in watercolor. The amazing thing to me is that in Plein Air watercolors, you really don't get a second chance. You either capture what you're trying to get at that moment or you don't. The watercolors dry almost instantly in the air and the sun and there is little margin for error. I really admire the skill of the painters who get it right. Judith has a warm coaching sort of style and her class is fun and relaxing in a supportive and inspiring environment. The Arts have always been a big part of Kennebunkport's style and cultural heritage. We have many excellent galleries, two notable Art Schools and there are always exhibits and shows on display. Ask us about what's going on when you plan your trip to Kennebunkport.

Startup Promises to Revolutionize Cloud Analytics with Social Media Techniques
Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue. As the multi-billion dollar valuations of Facebook and Twitter have shown, social media is one of the defining phenomena of the modern age. Therefore, it is not surprising that a startup has found a clever way to combine social media with another revolutionary technology of our time, cloud computing. In this way, it has earned for itself the sobriquet of "Twitter for machines."
Nodeable, a San Francisco–based startup, looks to provide customers of cloud computing performance data about their resources via a Twitter-like stream. As is evident from the $2 million funding it has just received from venture capital (VC) firm True Ventures, there are people who believe in the commercial applications of this idea. Nodeable also has the backing of another VC firm, Crosslink Capital.
So what is this unique thing that Nodeable is selling? It offers cloud computing users the opportunity to clean up resource management through the use of social media techniques. Here's how it works. Normally, systems management involves IT administrators interacting with applications and dashboards on a case-per-case basis. Nodeable works with those existing applications but modernizes alerts and other interactions into a real-time stream with simple messages.
Thus, Nodeable's product is like a Twitter for machines in that in that it aggregates systems data from a broad array of sources, processes it, adds messages and presents it to the user. It's not only about receiving data; commands can be sent as well to the system. Nodeable CEO and co-founder Dave Rosenberg mentioned that users can interact with the platform by employing social networking mechanics like tagging, both in messages sent to systems to other users. The product is currently in beta testing.
"The Nodeable platform uses big data analytics to unlock intelligence about your cloud-based infrastructure, and makes that information easy to understand and apply through a new user interface that looks and feels just like your favorite social networking site," said Dave Rosenberg. "We are offering the first post-cloud service for managing all the disparate information that pre-cloud tools can't handle to give users the data they need to make real-time decisions."
Nodeable's product presents a unique way to address one of the shortcomings of cloud computing, and provides a major change from the traditional method of systems management. It is expected to considerably reduce the complexities of systems management, and save considerable time and effort in the process.

New nonprofit rates proposed for Rocklin facility use
The Placer Herald has obtained the draft of the new plan to charge nonprofit organizations for use of city facilities.
Under a proposed policy change, qualified nonprofits would pay a $200 deposit and agree to pay $25 per hour for a large room and $12 for a small room with an additional hour costing $5. They can also get access to the kitchen, in addition to the room rental, for $5.
The current rate to rent the Community Center's main hall, according to the city's website, is a $350 deposit and $90 per hour for residents and $115 for non-residents. A meeting room in the center costs a $40 deposit with rates at $20 per hour for residents and $25 for non-residents, with a three-hour minimum rental.
The previous policy allowed qualified nonprofit groups, like the Boy and Girl Scouts, to get a waiver on regular facility-use fees.
If approved, the new rates would apply Monday through Thursday, provided Monday isn't a holiday. Nonprofits would also be required to use the Rocklin Community Center at Johnson-Springview Park if they want the special rate, otherwise they'll have to pay the prevailing rate for other buildings, which in some cases could be $90 per hour.
Formal groups would have to show proof of $1 million insurance coverage for any potential damages. Informal groups would have to sign a waiver.
If approved, there would also be a priority for use that will go to city-sponsored or co-sponsored events first, followed by youth or service organizations and then adult member organizations before other private gatherings. Limitations would include no more than one night per week and groups may not make reservations more than a month in advance.
For comparison, qualified nonprofits pay about 50 percent less than non-residents for facility use in the city of Folsom.
"For example, the fee to rent the community center ballroom for one hour would be $260 for non-residents; $180 for Folsom residents and $125 for Folsom nonprofits," Folsom spokesperson Sue Ryan explained.
Last November, hundreds of scouts and other groups and their families showed up to a City Council meeting to protest a plan to end the fee waivers. In response, the city put the change on hold and formed an ad hoc committee of some of the representatives of the nonprofit groups to work out an agreeable policy. In a March 18 memo to ad hoc committee members, City Manager Rick Horst decried the city's financial challenges and the "cost analysis" on city-owned facilities as a reason for the waiver policy change.
"Of concern today is the fact that a large number of nonprofit groups exists throughout the community who do not enjoy the same advantage," Horst said.
He said the city has had an increase in requests for fee waivers. His primary concern, he said, was the cost of running the facilities.
"Part and parcel to our long-term sustainability, ensuring a proper balance between those who get services and those who pay for them," Horst said.
City officials will discuss the draft policy with the ad hoc committee meeting at the Parks and Recreation Office meeting room at 5460 Fifth St. at 6 p.m. Monday, April 1. However, it is expected to be a closed-door meeting.
The City Council is then expected to take up the matter at one of its meetings, which are open to the public. No date has been announced.
