Faculty Parking
College Park
Beginning in the Fall 2012 term, UMUC faculty members teaching on the University of Maryland College Park campus who submit an application for a parking permit will be issued a virtual permit rather than the hanging permits that were issued in previous terms. The online application provides space to list up to four vehicle license plate numbers per registration. Only one vehicle per registration may be parked in a restricted lot at a time. For more information, consult UMCP's Department of Transportation Services Parking Regulations or contact Faculty Services and Communications.
If you need a parking permit for a restricted faculty lot, submit an online application to Faculty Services and Communications. Please submit your application as early as possible, as processing of permit requests takes approximately one week.
Please register at the beginning of each semester for your parking registration. Your faculty parking permit is valid for only one semester; it will be expired at the end of each semester.
Please check the UMCP parking map to determine the closest parking area to your scheduled building and classroom assignment.
If you have not received a parking permit by your first day of class, remember that visitors to UMCP do not need a permit to park after 4 p.m. on weekdays or any time on weekends. During those times, you may park in any unrestricted lot, including Lots 1, 2G, 4, 11 and 16. Be sure to pay attention to signs at the entrance to all parking lots for possible restrictions, as this information may change throughout the session.
Faculty Services and Communications handles parking permits for UMUC faculty members teaching at the University of Maryland College Park campus. If you need additional information, please e-mail email@example.com or call 240-684-2605 during business hours.
Regional Sites
Special parking requirements may exist at locations other than College Park. Military installations frequently have firm regulations. You should receive parking information for regional sites before your class begins.
Parking Tickets
You are responsible for any parking tickets you receive. However, if you receive a parking violation on the College Park campus while waiting for a parking permit or for other circumstances you think may be justifiably contested, fill in the box on the reverse side of the ticket under the heading "All Ticket Recipients Complete the Following." Attach a brief written explanation, and forward it and the violation notice to the address in the ticket.

Capital goods - March 2012
On this, there can be no debate: Beverly Perdue made history. She did it when she became the first woman elected governor of North Carolina. She will do it again when she leaves office as the first governor since gubernatorial succession was allowed here, in 1981, to fail to seek and win a second term. On that second score, it is obviously not the kind of legacy that she had envisioned for herself. But is it what she deserves? Did she do this to herself? Or was she simply caught up in historical tides that left her adrift, with no real course to rescue her political fortunes?
Perdue stunned the states political establishment in January when she announced that she wouldnt seek a second term. There had been some whispers back in the fall, but no one really believed them. She explained the decision by saying that she didnt want to politicize a debate about adequately funding public
schools. A re-election campaign in this already divisive environment will make it more difficult to find any bipartisan solutions, her official announcement read.
The more likely truth is that she had accepted the obvious, that she wasnt going to win. Her polls numbers remained poor. National publications proclaimed her the nations most vulnerable incumbent governor. More important, she was increasingly being told no when she dialed for campaign cash. It didnt matter whether the calls were to wealthy individual donors or to a traditional Democratic ally, labor. The answer wasnt always a judgment of her policies. Sometimes it was a judgment on her chances.
Those chances were based on her public standing, and that was based on three difficult years in office. At the start of her term, she didnt seem particularly daunted by her circumstances taking office just after the financial collapse, during a recession and facing a budget shortfall. Sitting down for an interview with Business North Carolina in December 2008, she talked about helping small business and encouraging entrepreneurship.
Im a realist, she said at the time. I know it is going to be much slower. Then she added, I intend to grow a green economy, a military aerospace economy, an agri-biotech economy. I intend to help manufacturing and small businesses and agriculture. She wasnt able to do much of that. Was it her fault? Not really. Did any governor in any state oversee a whole lot of economic growth over the last three years, particularly in Southern states trying to recover from two decades of losses in low-skill manufacturing jobs?
While Perdues Republican critics pummeled her over unemployment, North Carolinas numbers werent so different from its neighbors. But its too easy to attribute all of her troubles to the economy. In that same interview, she spoke of shared sacrifices and tough decisions. She talked about looking local government officials in the eye and telling them what was coming. And as I make tough decisions, theyll at least have a chance to look me in the face and say, Hey, thats just crummy. But at least theyll know it. Thats not what happened. Instead, she and a legislature controlled by fellow Democrats raised taxes for two years. Then Republicans gained control of the legislature. Suddenly she had a fight on her hands.
For a while, it looked like that fight might help her. Each time she vetoed Republican-penned legislation, her poll numbers ticked up. Voters always have and always will like politicians who appear strong. Still, maybe showing a bit more discretion with that veto stamp could have benefited her over the long haul. Some more words from that December 2008 interview: The bottom line is we have to have a taxing structure and a regulation system and an assistance system in place that helps grow and seed small businesses. But when it came to regulatory reform for business, she vetoed the Republican effort at it, perhaps missing an opportunity to fashion a compromise. The veto didnt even stick. It was eventually overturned.
As for tax reform something along the lines of broadening the tax base while lowering overall rates Perdue showed little interest after some initial talk about Depression-era Gov. O. Max Gardner and his changes to the tax system. Maybe she recognized that it wasnt feasible in a world that had suddenly turned upside down politically and economically.
No one promises politicians just good times when they run for office. In the bad times especially, people want a steady hand. Blame it on the stars or blame it on her, Perdue wasnt able to convince enough people whether the ones answering poll questions or the ones being asked for campaign donations that she was that steady hand.

I turned 23,000 miles on my " 03 " Tuesday...
23,000 miles is something..... How many problems did you encounter on the way?
Quote from: baird4444 on October 26, 2007, 03:59:16 pmI turned 23,000 miles on my " 03 " Tuesday...Congrats,I was hoping to get mine up to 20,000 this season but I think I'm going to be about 300 shy of that goal. Hey, I thinking about riding the Bullet out to Mo. for the reunion again next year. The back road route I took this year takes me about 30 miles N of where you are. I spent the night in McLean Il on 136. Do you want to meet up and ride the rest of the way with me? It took about 6/7 hrs from McLean.
That sounds like fun... let's kind of plan on that... weather permitting...I don't do rain!!- Mike

A: The tar and chemicals in the smoke vapor cause cancer.
A: Tar provides most of the flavor for your cigarette. Less tar, less flavor!
A: You'd stop smoking and they wouldn't get your money!
A: No, even though it they may feel better on your chest, chances are you will puff harder and smoke more of each cigarette to get the nicotine.
A: Yes, you can get clean nicotine in a nicotine patch, gum, Nasal spray, lozenge, or inhaler; these products don't have tar.
A: Most people find it easy to get off nicotine medicines after a few months. Cigarettes get you addicted by delivering nicotine quickly to your brain. Nicotine in smoke enters your lungs as a vapor and reaches your brain in 7 to 10 seconds. That is why most smokers feel satisfied after one or two drags on a cigarette. Products like the nicotine patch, gum, nasal spray, lozenge, or inhaler deliver nicotine slowly. Nicotine gets absorbed through the skin or through the lining of the nose or mouth.
A: Nothing will work unless you want it to. Nicotine medications can help by dulling your cravings for a cigarette and are proven to increase your chances of quitting.

DALLAS (AP) - Chris Kaman scored 23 points and had eight rebounds in
only his second start for Dallas, and the Mavericks held on for a
107-101 victory over the winless Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
O.J. Mayo had 25 points as the Mavericks snapped a three-game losing streak since Kaman's only other start.
Washington (0-7) had trailed by as many as 22 points before a 15-0
run in the fourth quarter. Cartier Martin capped that spurt with
consecutive 3-pointers, swishing the second from the wing right in front
of the Mavs bench and coach Rick Carlisle to get within 88-85. Kaman
had a short hook on the Mavs' next possession.
After Kevin Seraphin made a hook over Kaman, the Mavs' 7-foot center
scored with his back to the basket when he tossed the ball over his
A defensive rebound by Kaman led to a basket by Mayo that made it 94-87, and still that almost wasn't enough.
Washington is the only NBA team still without a victory, and is one
short of the franchise-worst start set just last season when the Wizards
lost their first eight games.
Detroit won for the first time in its nine games earlier Wednesday, 94-76 at Philadelphia.
Seraphin had consecutive baskets and it was 101-98 with just under 2
minutes left. Seraphin then had a steal, but Jannero Pargo missed a
potential tying 3.
Martin made another 3 in the closing seconds, but Kaman had another strong inside move and made the free throw.
The Wizards made six 3s in the fourth quarter, but never went to the
free-throw line while Kaman's closing three-point play made Dallas 9 of
10 from the stripe in the final 12 minutes.
Washington outscored Dallas 34-22 in the fourth quarter without a
starter getting on the floor. Seraphin had 14 of his 16 points in that
spurt and Martin had 14 points after not even playing the first three
quarters, and made all four of his 3-pointers.
Jordan Crawford led Washington with 21 points.
It was the first game in Dallas started together by the 7-foot Kaman
and Elton Brand, Mavs newcomers who were past teammates with the Los
Angeles Clippers. After three subpar games in a row, Carlisle wanted to
shake up his lineup still missing injured starters Dirk Nowitzki and
Shawn Marion.
Brand had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Jae Crowder, the rookie who had
started the previous four games, scored 12 points off the bench.
The Wizards were within 37-33 when Emeka Okafor made a 7-foot
turnaround jumper with just under 7 minutes left in the first half.
Brand then made both free throws after being fouled by Okafor to
start a 15-2 run. And the Mavericks made 10 of their next 12 shots for a
63-45 halftime lead.
It was the first 40-point quarter this season for the Mavericks.

2009 La Verne Cool Cruise Show - Cool Cruise '09Written by on September 1, 2009 La Verne & Surely A Good Time
Originally named Lordsburg when it was founded in 1887; exactly 30 years later the tiny little Southern California town became known as La Verne in 1917. Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, La Verne is situated approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles and supports a population of over 33,000. At the turn of the 20th century, Southern California was destined to become the birthplace of all things cool in the world of automobiles, and the folks who grew up in La Verne got a chance to witness it all. The city of La Verne's Cool Cruise paid homage to the roots of Custom Culture with almost 1,000 vehicles on display in Old Town La Verne starting at D Street from Bonita over to 2nd Street, it was just like stepping into a time machine. Held on April, 11 it was more than just an incredible gathering of cool custom cars, trucks, and motorcycles, the event featured door prizes, raffles, live entertainment with pretty girls dancing around, and the all-important food-lots of good food.

Poplar Springs Elementary School showcased art work done by Explore and Art Quest students Wednesday.
The annual community leaders reception lets the community and parents see what children are learning in school.
Fifth grade students participate in job shadowing as part of of their Explore class. Those community leaders are invited back to see the books students write about their experiences.
"The students love it because they're getting to show what they've worked hard on. We have a scope and sequence that we have to follow. We don't have textbooks. We have to write our own curriculum," said Patti Edwards, gifted teacher. "And following our scope and sequence we come up with the creative lesson plans, artists, music, anything with the arts, and then to help them with their critical thinking skills."
Our own Brian Hutton, Jr., participated in the job shadowing program. John Landon Young spent time with him here at WTOK.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There's no defying "Gravity."
The Sandra Bullock-George Clooney space drama "Gravity" has the best October opening ever – with more than $55 million at the weekend box office.
Sandra Bullock said "the most bizarre series of contraptions" helped her simulate weightlessness in "Gravity." There was a robot arm like the kind that's used in making cars, a bunch of wires to hold her up and even a bicycle seat on top of a tall pole. They were all in a black box-like room where Bullock spent virtually the entire time filming.
REVIEW: Beauty meets terror in 'Gravity'
The film about personal struggles set in deep space is also best opening for both of the stars.
"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" dropped to second this weekend. "Runner Runner," starring Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, opened in third.
"Prisoners" and "Rush" round out the weekend's top five.

For the next 5 days or so I'd like to bring up who we think should win these awards & go by the actual meaning of the award. Not the way it's been given. Please be objective & not pick all Bruins. Please try to be serious & not pick "Mr. Universe" for the Vezina. I will also put the definition of each award in bold to help those who may need it.Also please only type one name. Don't steal someone elses thunder. I know we all have 3 or 4 in our heads, but just pick one & stick with it. So, lets have some debate & please include your reasoning as to why you think your pick should win. OK today is the
Hart Trophy: is awarded annually to the "player judged most valuable to his team" in the National Hockey League (NHL)
My pick is John Traverse of the Islanders. This guy has improved every season & even though he's a -3. I think that without him the Islanders would be in a heap of trouble as far as finding the back of the net. I like Matt Moulson, but Traverse makes Moulson like Gretzky did Nichols.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - With injuries starting to mount two games into Wes Stoner's first season as coach of the St. Clairsville girls' soccer team, the former Red Devils standout needed something to change his team's luck.
How about a fluky goal?
That's just what the doctor ordered Wednesday night as the Red Devils (2-1) trailed Edison 1-0 late in the first half and things weren't looking good for the Red Devils, who were coming off a 7-0 shellacking at Brooke earlier in the week.
Senior Taryn Barr lofted the ball deep into the Wildcats' zone from near midfield. The ball took one huge bounce off the artificial surface and barely went over the outstretched arms of Edison goalkeeper Katie Oinonen to tie the game a mere 43 seconds after the visitors scored.
The goal jump-started St. Clairsville to three goals in the final 11 minutes of the first half en route to a 4-1 victory at Red Devil Stadium.
"I'll take the luck," Stoner said with a smile. "After that goal, things started working again for us. The girls are starting to pick up the style of play I want them to play. It's completely different from what they used to play. It's more possession."
The Red Devils made their coach look like a genius with time winding down in the first 40 minutes. Seniors Carlee Gillespie and Madison Keenan hooked up on a scoring play as Gillespie sped down the right sideline before sending a cross to the center of the box about 20 yards in front of Oinonen. Keenan took control of the ball and blasted it into the back of the cage for a 2-1 edge with 2:15 showing on the clock.
"That is the kind of combination that should be happening all the way up the field," Stoner added. "It's getting there. Everyone is still a little confused, but it's a work in progress."
They weren't done as Gillespie sent a laser to the net from 30 yards out on the right wing that Oinonen never got a hand on as the lead grew to 3-1 with 49.7 seconds remaining. Eberle Ferrell was credited with an assist.
"Carlee is fantastic," Stoner said. "She's battling a little bit of a back injury, but she's a battler."
Gillespie concluded the scoring early in the second half when she headed in a corner kick by Ferrell for the 4-1 final margin.
"That was a beautiful setup by Eberle and Carlee went up and got it," Stone said of the picture-perfect twine-tickler.
St. Clairsville outshot Edison 11-7. The Red Devils' goalkeeper, senior Brianna Sowers, notched six saves, with four of them coming late in the game was the final score was already decided and Stoner emptied his bench.
Oinonen was called upon to make seven saves.
Allie Byrley scored the Wildcats' lone goal off a nifty give-and-go with Amara Proffitt.

Tatacara untuk menulis berbasis pengetahuan
There are a lot of competing things to balance when writing or editing a Mozilla Support ("SUMO") Knowledge Base article. You want to be complete, concise, factual, and engaging, all at the same time! It's certainly not the easiest thing in the world to do. Here are some guidelines to help make that balancing act a little easier. Also, this is a wiki and we can always revise something if we get it wrong.
- To learn how to actually create a new article, see Create a new Knowledge Base article.
- See About the Knowledge Base for an overview of how the Knowlege Base works.
- See Improve the Knowledge Base for a full list of article documentation.
Table of Contents
- 1 Write for a general, non-technical audience
- 2 Pick a good title
- 3 Categories, products and topics
- 4 Keywords
- 5 Write a good search summary
- 6 Make your writing engaging
- 7 Write a good introduction
- 8 Organize the article effectively
- 9 Use descriptive heading titles
- 10 Make step-by-step instructions easy to follow
- 11 SUMO style guide
Write for a general, non-technical audience
We want our articles to be usable by everyone, not just advanced users. This means we're writing for a general audience rather than one very familiar with computer techniques and terminology. Assume the person you're writing for doesn't know how to change preferences or add a toolbar button without step-by-step instructions. Also, we should assume that they haven't changed any of the default application or operating system settings.
Pick a good title
The article title along with its summary are the only things that the user has to judge whether or not an article will answer their question. We call this "User Confidence" and it directly impacts click through rates. Even if we serve the correct article at the top of the search results list, the user needs to make the mental connection between the search query and the results we display in order for them to click through to the article.
An article's title should try to describe what the article is about. The important thing is for the first few words to be as understandable as possible, filled with keywords that are important. This will allow users to recognize what the article is about and click confidently. In addition, a title should follow these guidelines:
- Title length: Google's search results page will display up to 70 characters. Your title can be longer than this if necessary but make sure your important keywords are included in the first 70 characters.
- Capitalization: The first word in the title should be capitalized, as well as proper nouns and names, not every major word. Use "sentence" style, not "headline" style (the same applies to heading titles.) See the SUMO style guide section below for other rules on capitalization.
- Do not use a colon in the article title since it prevents creating a wiki link to that article (bug 749835). Also make sure you don't have extra spaces in the article title, which will also prevent wiki links from working.
- Try to vary the way you name articles. Don't use the same verbs or phrases in every title. For example, don't always start articles with "How" and avoid using "-ing" words.
Remember that the entire explanation doesn't have to go into the title. You can use the summary to give the user additional information about what is in the article.
Fix the slug
When you create a title, SUMO will automatically create a slug (the end of the URL for the article). The slug has a 50 character limit. Spaces are rendered as dashes. The slug should be consistent with the title, but given the tighter space restraint, doesn't need to be the same. Be sure to check the end of the auto-generated slug. Sometimes a word gets cut off or it ends in a dash. Please fix things like that.
Categories, products and topics
For the most part, an article belongs in either the How-to or Troubleshooting category. Occasionally we write "How To Contribute" articles (like this one) or something in one of the other categories.
Articles are also "relevant to" at least one product. They also belong in one main "Topic" and, optionally, a "sub-topic".
The keywords field in an article can be used to improve search results on SUMO. It should be used only under specific circumstances though, as misuse can actually hurt search. We rarely need to use keywords. For details, see When and how to use keywords to improve an article's search ranking.
Write a good search summary
The article summary along with the title are the only things that the user has to judge whether or not an article will answer their question. We call this "User Confidence" and it directly impacts click through rates. Even if we serve the correct article at the top of the search results list, the user needs to make the mental connection between the search query and the results we display in order for them to click through to the article.
A summary for a how-to article should include the topics covered in the article. A troubleshooting article should try to include symptoms. In addition, a summary should follow these guidelines:
- Short and to the point. Remember classified ads? Write it like that. Search engines may cut off anything longer than 140 characters. If you use a longer summary, keep the important information at the beginning. Note: The KB software will show 20 characters remaining when the summary reaches 140 characters because the internal search limit is 160.
- Don't use wiki markup.
- Don't use "This article explains" in every summary. Vary it when possible. Some other phrases to consider:
- We'll show you
- We'll explain
- This page explains
- This article describes
- Learn how
Make your writing engaging
- Conversational writing style – Use an informal, active style similar to the way you'd speak to someone in person.
- Humor and emotion – Using humor is great but it's sometimes hard or impossible to localize. Emotions like surprise and "I didn't know that!" (not sure what to call that emotion) might be easier to include.
- Multiple learning styles – Just like in school, people learn differently. Also, everyone benefits from seeing the same content expressed in multiple ways.
- Repetition – When you explain something in a different way with different media, you're also, obviously, repeating it which is another good way to help people remember what's important.
- Images and video – Using images and video to explain things along with text is not only the next best thing to being there to help in person, they are an easy way of including multiple learning styles and repetition.
- Activities – Especially in a tutorial, it's good to give people something useful to accomplish. It's one thing to read instructions and understand the process, but it's often helpful to remind and enable people to try things out.
Write a good introduction
Along with the title and the table of contents, the introduction is what people will use to quickly determine if they are in the right place.
- For a tutorial or how-to article: Give a brief summary of what things can be learned.
- For a reference article: Give a brief explanation of the feature.
- For a troubleshooting article: Give a brief summary of the problem and its symptoms.
A good introduction can usually serve as a good search summary. Often you can just copy it into the "Search result summary" field and you're done.
Organize the article effectively
The general idea here is to try to build skills from simple to complex while trying to keep the information needed by most people near the top. So a simple, common solution would usually come before a complex or edge-case solution.
Use descriptive heading titles
Our articles are usually comprehensive so it's important to use descriptive headings to help people find the part of the article that they need. Take a look at your table of contents. Does it work with the introduction to give you a nice overview of the scope of the article?
Make step-by-step instructions easy to follow
The main thing to keep in mind when writing step-by-step instructions is to be careful to include all the actions needed to complete the task. If, for example, you have to click "OK" after selecting a preference in order to move to the next step, be sure to include clicking "OK" as part of that step. Some additional things to consider:
- There are always multiple ways to achieve a result. We should always pick the most user-friendly way by using the graphical user interface and menus when possible.
- Use full sentences when describing how to access the user interface.
- Include expected results when giving instructions (for example, Click "OK" and the window will close.).
SUMO style guide
Like we said before, you should use an active, conversational style when you write. Avoid saying things like, "If a user's bookmarks have been lost" and instead say, "If you've lost your bookmarks". Here are other common style issues you may run into when writing support articles (if you don't see your issue here, there's also a Mozilla Style Guide):
Always use terms the way they appear in the Mozilla interface. For example:
- Plugins does not have a hyphen.
- Add-ons does have a hyphen.
- Home page is two words.
General computing terms:
- The Internet is uppercase.
- Website is one word.
- Log in and log out are verbs. Example: "Log in to the website."
- Login and logout are nouns (usually used as adjectives). Example: "Click the login button."
- Use email instead of e-mail.
- The plural of CD-ROM is CD-ROMs.
Links to mozilla.org should not contain the locale:
- Use https://www.mozilla.org/ instead of https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
Capitalize the following items:
- Proper nouns and names, including brand names, product names and feature names
- The first word of a complete sentence
- The letters of abbreviations and acronyms unless they are normally lowercase
- The first word in numbered or bulleted lists
- The name of a key on the keyboard
- The first word of a complete sentence following a colon
- The first word in a heading or title
Don't use "i.e." and "e.g.". These Latin abbreviations can confuse people. For the sake of clarity, use "in other words" or "to put it differently" instead of i.e. when you want to explain something in a different way. Use "for instance", "for example" or "such as" instead of e.g. when you want to give examples.
Don't use serial commas in a list of items. For example, use "Extensions, themes and plugins" (without the serial comma), not "Extensions, themes, and plugins".
We have special visual styles for a number of items that can be achieved by adding the proper wiki markup around the item. See the Markup cheat sheet for the most common styles.
We have a special wiki markup – {for} – that allows you to target information for specific versions of Firefox or specific operating systems. For example, you display one set of instructions to people running Windows and another to people using Mac OS X (see How to use For for details).

Inside the Mind of Swag
The Latest Road to Omaha
by Swag
posted Jun 1 2012 1:46PM
As a lover of most peripheral sports you know I am geeked with the beginning of the NCAA Baseball Tournament, especially with my Beavers trying to return to Omaha for the first time since 2007 when they won the 2nd of their back to back national championships. While the NCAA Basketball tournament continues to take criticism for the watered down nature of its drama in recent years, the baseball tournament and College World Series seems to be getting more popular by the year, and thank goodness for that. There is still a sense of amatuerism and innocence with college baseball that has long sense left football and basketball, while still being a very familiar and comfortable product for the casual sports fan. We all grew up with baseball, and we will eventually see a few of these guys in the Major Leagues in a couple of years. And since they took some of the "ping" out of the aluminum bats we don't see home run derby like we did in the late 90's. How can you not love this tournament. Now that Oregon is back in the baseball playing business and comeptitive it makes it all the better for Northwest sports fans.
Now if you're new to the College World Series it has its own legends too, do yourself a favor and look up names like Darren Driefort of Wichita State, Warren Morris of LSU or even Mel Turpin and Joey Wong from Oregon State. Guys like Jack McDowell, Robin Venrura and Barry Bonds have all roamed the Omaha grass and with games played in sunlight unlike most of the MLB playoffs these days, it will take you back to your grade school days sneaking radios into class trying to listen to World Series games without being noticed by your teacher. If you really dare to dream think about the Ducks and Beavers on opposite sides of the bracket meeting in Omaha in an all Oregon CWS final in a best of three series with each team looking for revenge after each spoiled a conference title chase in the last two seasons.

Timbers Season Preview

posted Feb 29 2012 1:57PM
It's been a while, but one thing my new early riser shift affords me is the chance to get out to all of our local teams pracitices on a more a regular basis, so braving rain, sleet and snow I ventured up to Jeld-Wen field this morning to catch up with Captain
Jack Jewsbury
and discuss how all he is adjusting to all of the new faces on the team this year, and how it will translate to a playoff appearance.
Head coach
John Spencer
also stopped by afterward with an update on the status of Kris Boyd and Franck Songo'o and how the late winter weather may affect who plays tomorrow night against Chivas USA. Really appreciate Spencer's approach to preseason games saying all he wants to accomplish is a win. He wants his team to prepare like they will play come March 12th when the season opens against Philadelphia Union.
Spencer hopes Steve Purdy will back for Sunday's match against Swedish club team AIK. The bit of training we did see today was spent working with his forwards on finishing plays at the top of the box. Boyd has a cannon of a right foot, and if Nagbe and Perlazza can hold balls long enough to tee him up, Timbers fans should see more offensive production from the effort fans have come to expect.

Final weekend of Winterhawks regular season
by Jason Swygard
posted Mar 17 2011 12:33PM
While eveyone is watching the NCAA Tournament, I am still keeping one eye on the Winterhawks as they finish up the regular season, still needing wins to clinch the US Division crown and possibly the top seed in the Western Conference. I had a chance to catch up with Center Brendan Leipsic
with his thoughts on the opportunity ahead of them, and the mindset of the team that is expected to compete for a Memorial Cup this season.
If you want to see them this weekend make sure you go to

Best Gig in Sports Broadcasting
by Swag
posted Jan 26 2011 8:59AM
We all know I enjoy all of the fringe sports here at the FAN, but I am convinced the best gig in all of sports broadcasting is the Australian Open. First of all, all the broadcasts in the middle of the night over here in the States so the most discerning of eyes may not be watching. Second, you're in Australia in summertime instead of Bristol during the dead of winter. Third, they must be partying a ton.
Look closely at their set
...I mean where else would see shot glasses being used as paperweights. One other thought here, can we stop trying to glam up Pam Shriver. As good a tennis commentator as they have at ESPN, but please. And the Vegimite sandwich stuff is getting old too.

The First TIVO Worthy Game of the College Basketball Season
by Swag
posted Jan 25 2011 12:30PM
Having mostly recovered from football season, it's time to start sharing with you all once again. And as I reconnect with those things off the overbeaten path of most sports fans, I find myself looking for a way to get inserted into the college basketball season. I think I have found it. The first truly must see game of the season...
#4 San Diego State @ #9 BYU.
This has everything you want in a late January match up...well, almost: two top ten teams, a marquee talent, and seeding potential in the tournament all riding on it. So what if happens to be in the Mountain West? I know the Big East has already had a handful of these types of matchups, but they are going to put 8 or 9 teams in the tournament and most of them will be 4 seeds or higher. Wednesday night's tilt will have lasting consequences for both teams that will linger into March. Can either of these teams impress the selection committee enough to be in line for a 1 seed? Is Jimmer Fredette the next "Great White Hope"? What channel is the game on? Oops, there is the almost I was referring to. I will be one of the fortunate ones to the see this on CBS College Sports Network, albeit not in HD, but hopefully you can find a friend or favorite watering hole to take this one in. I'm looking forward to actually enjoying a game that hasn't been overhyped and overshadowed by frivolous banter and rhetoric. Just and honestly intriguing contest with multiple storylines where the next mornings headlines have yet to be written.

posted Oct 6 2010 4:30PM
The Portland Timbers begin their playoff quest with a series dripping in irony. They face their rivals to the north, the Vancouver Whitecaps, whom they lost to in last year's semifinals. In addition both of these franchises will jump to MLS status next season. Tomorrow night is leg 1 of the home and home aggregate series in Vancouver at 7:30. Sunday is leg 2 at Merlo Field on the UP campus at 6pm. I had a chance to catch up with defender
Steve Purdy
for a preview. You can see tomorrow night's game at 7:30 on FSN.

The High School Football Season Begins
by jason-portland
posted Sep 3 2010 3:19PM
Back for a 9th season of High School Football on The FAN, and it just gets bigger and bigger. Even though school hasn't started the kids will strap on the pads for real tonight. Our coverage begins at 6:45pm with our Bi-Mart Game of the Week pregame show. I will be with you all night every Friday night from our 1080 The FAN studios with scores, analysis and interviews, as well as sending you to biggest games for live updates from our stable of reporters. Then at 7pm tonight our Bi-Mart Game of the Week featuring Southridge at Glencoe. Travis Demers and Dusty Harrah along with the newest member of our team, former Oregon Ducks Defensive Back, Aaron Gipson on the call. As always we will be monitoring the key games of the night with our field reporters: Devin Higgins will have the latest on the preseason #1 team Jesuit hosting Canby at 7:30pm as the Cougars begin Mike Vaught era as he follows in the footsteps in Mike Doty who retired after 18 years running the double wing at Canby. Josh Alexander will be with our
Friday Night Bites
crew at Liberty High School tonight as the Hillsboro Spartans open up the season as a 6A team for the first time against their old 5A rival. Also adding to our coverage this season,
reporters Dirk Knudsen and Jordan Johnson will be provided live game updates and the latest recruiting news on the top players in Oregon and Southwest Washington. We aren't forgetting about our friends in Clark County as Bryan Levesque is back from
with all the scores, news and analysis from 2A, 3A and 4A Greater St. Helens League action. Every Friday night Bryan will join me at 10:30pm for our Southwest Washington Report with scores and highlights from around the GSHL. Key Games from week 1: #5 Canby @ #1 Jesuit 7:30pm- Cronin Field The Crusaders don't rebuild...they reload. With Jordan Talley back to lead an otherwise inexperienced offense, Jesuit finds themselves once again the early favorite to win yet another state title. Can junior Eric Williams handle the reins as quarterback? Jesuit has won before with inexperienced signal callers before. The key to their success, as always, is the offensive line. If they are as organized as we have seen from previous years Williams will have plenty of time to make the right decision with the ball. As for the Cougars they begin the Mike Vaught era, after he has been assistant to Mike Doty for the last 18 years. No team runs the Wing-T like Canby in this state. Their success will depend upon their front seven's ability to get Talley and others on the ground at first contact and avoid the big play. #2 Lake Oswego @ #10 Central Catholic, 7pm-Hillsboro Stadium A bit of a grudge match here as the Lakers will use a two quarterback system with one of them being Central Catholic transfer Austin Kent who moved to L.O. for his senior year. Forget the Jack Lomax days and think Billy Anderson if you want a preview of what the Laker offense will look like this year. Tyson Coleman is healthy and headed to Oregon so expect a big year from him running the ball. Central Catholic is all about defensive end Brennan Scarlett who shut the Lakers down last season in the Rams 20-12 win. Expect another low scoring game. #3 West Salem @ #4 Sheldon, 7pm-Sheldon High School The defending 6A champion Irish lost a ton of production with the graduations of Jordan Johnson, Curtis White, John Campbell and Cameron Abeene. The question is how quickly Sheldon can reload under Marty Johnson's wide open read option attack. Meanwhile the Titans got to the semifinals last year, and feature the top QB in the state in Brett Smith. This should be a pinball game with the first one to 50 squeaking out a win. Make sure to join me at 6:45 tonight for complete coverage of the opening week of High School Football on 1080 The FAN.

Wesley Matthews will become a fan favorite
by jason-portland
posted Jul 21 2010 3:09PM
Talking to the newest Trailblazers Wesley Matthews this morning for a few minutes
, my first thought was how quickly he will become a fan favorite. This well spoken, humble kid with a big smile and bigger contract has no fears about the situation he enters with this team. Easily dismissing concern about his 5 year 34 million dollar contract without avoiding the question asked about whether or not he's overpaid. For someone who has earned every minute of playing time he's gotten in his 92 game career it's hard to imagine the fortune earned from that determination will alter his approach to the game. Embracing defense will quickly win him the respect of head coach Nate McMillan who has begging for more talent on that end of the floor. While you can definitely tell he has an edge about him, it comes across more enthusiastically than say Jerryd Bayless. The pressure is now all on Nate McMillan to figure out a rotation with an unbalanced roster and several question marks of health.

What a happy place to live in
Hey everyone,
This is the second map commissioned for an online fantasy game project ( the first one was the map of Slyrn) The map is 12"x10", digitally hand-drawn in Photoshop.

Hope you'll like it. As usual, feel free to rate, rep or run away

They just wanted you to use really odd colors for their maps didn't they?
As always it looks amazing! Sorry I can't rep you.
It's gorgeous (as ever) but... why is it red?
Makes me think everyone killed each other in a horrible thousand years war and literally left the land/water stained with their blood. Then the trees and plants drank it up and started to grow tinted leaves. And they became poisonous and spread across the land and when new explorers/settlers come they will all go mad from eating the poisoned blood fruit and start killing each other in a vicious cycle and..
Sorry I got carried away there
Have you "liked" a post today?
You have to be the busiest cartographer on earth
It looks nice as always, a like the red colors. Makes it unique and foreboding.
What I want to know is how the hell do you manage to turn over such high quality work so quickly!?
Please say you didn't finish this in the two days it's been since you posted Slyrn! Please…?
Seriously though, fantastic job, the colors are awesome. Out of curiosity, where you asked to do a red map specifically, or was it your own idea?
Thanks much guys!
@ afters : well I guess not the busiest one but I wouldn't say I'm complaining
@ Arsheesh: sure, my secret isn't such a complicated thing: you just have to....wait....you don't really want to know, don't you?
@ Lingon: are you gonna throw things to my head if I say yes? as for the colors, red wasn't specifically requested. The requesr was that Melkos has to be significantly different from Slyrn in colors, showing that it was a different world (and a darker one, without making the map too dark)

I bought these for my daughter in law for Christmas. I received the shoes in 2 days, during the Christmas rush. They were also reasonably priced. They were in perfect condition and they looked exactly like the picture on the website. They are well fitting and comfortable. Thanks for making my daughter in laws Christmas, she squealed with delight when she saw them!
Rachel Steel
I don't normally wear trainer type shoes, but found these very comfortable, and great with jeans
The shoes are awesome!
Awesome shoes! Fit perfectly
It's a good fitting and strong shoe with beautiful colors!
Jasmine Brown
I got them in the mail 2 days before I expect them, so that was pretty awesome! I took em out and tried them on, they fit just perfectly. They didn't come with an extra pair of laces, which i'm used to with etnies I buy. I got them about 3 weeks ago and the back fabric is all ripped out. I figured since they're skate shoes, they'd be more durable over a period of time.
They're really comfortable inside(when the fabric is still intact). They look great, i love them! But the quality could be better, more lasting than it is.
BOUQUET Sarah

Lauren Hartley
Excellent! Comfy, value for money, received quickly. Would definitely recommend!

|Hail pounds, pounds, pounds
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Just when residents begin to rebound from the previous night's hailstorm, skies grow dark and yet another storm pounds the nearby area somewhere.
That's been the pattern this past week in Northeast Colorado and Southwest Nebraska.
Sunday, July 19 between 6:30-7:30 p.m., corn fields on the Phillips-Yuma county line southeast of Holyoke took a real beating from hail.
Walt Bradford and Steve Hayes both reported the storm sort of snuck up on them. It didn't even feel as if it was going to rain.
All of a sudden, torrential rains, accompanied by hail falling straight down, pounded for more than 15 minutes. Hayes said it looked like a heavy, wet snowstorm.
In that short period, they received 1.1 inches of rain. Hail started out pea-size, with some being shooter marble size, said Hayes. Bradford said the biggest share of the hail stones at their home, two miles west of the Hayes' place, were small grape size.
Hayes admitted they were pretty fortunate, compared to Bradfords, but their beans were beat up badly.
Bradford said the four circles of corn near their home are probably 100 percent loss. Three of those are leased by Spragues, and the Bradfords farm the fourth. Other fields in that area were also extensively beat up by the hail.
Bradford said Monday he probably would have started seeing tassles that day, had the previous night's storm not hit. Describing the corn before the hail, Bradford said it was "really nice." He had just put the last load of fertilizer on it.
Erik Vieselmeyer, local Pioneer seed dealer, said corn destruction at this point of growth is devastating, as all crop inputs have gone into the corn (fertilizer, insecticides, etc.).
Leaves are the main working part of a corn plant's food factory, converting solar energy into grain. As a result, losses are highest near the tasseling stage, according to a Pioneer Tech Update Hail Decision Guide.
Leaves on the corn plants convert sugar into starch and produce grain. When leaves are taken off at this stage, it damages test weights.
With corn in the 16-leaf to 18-leaf stage, right before tasseling as it is now, there's just not a lot of growth time to recuperate from the leaf loss from hail.
The Pioneer Hail Decision Guide references corn at a 16-leaf stage of growth, with 50-60 percent leaf loss from hail, will represent about an 18-23 percent yield loss.
Friday storms hit full area
Sunday's hail southeast of Holyoke came on the heels of multiple storms in the area Friday, July 17.
Around 6:30 p.m. in Holyoke, a 30-minute solid downpour of rain blinded the view, and was accompanied briefly by pea-sized hail. From 6-10 miles straight south of Holyoke, corn fields were damaged by hail in that same storm surge.
Earlier Friday, across the state line in Chase County, Neb., the community of Imperial was hit by a hailstorm around 6 a.m. and two more during the noon hour. The south sides of buildings suffered extreme damage, and fields in the country were hit, as well.
Storm pattern continues Monday
As if there hadn't been enough stormy weather, the skies darkened yet again at the end of the business day, about 5 p.m. in Holyoke Monday, July 20. High winds geared up briefly, with storm conditions moving on.
At about that same time, in Champion, Neb., golf-ball to tennis-ball size hail pounded the small community in southwest Chase County. Champion resident Sharon Raasch reported windows were broken out on the north sides of homes. Crops in the area were ravaged, as well.
At 4 p.m. Monday in Grant, Neb., northeast of Holyoke, hail pounded the town, as well as surrounding fields. Grant and Perkins County also bore the brunt of a noon hailstorm Friday.

COLUMBIA, MO (AP) -- Freshman Missouri quarterback Tyler Gabbert has a broken nose after a weekend fight outside a Columbia pizza parlor.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Gabbert; his brother, Blaine; and linebacker Andrew Gachkar got into a fight with another group of men outside Gumby's Pizza around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. No one was arrested.
Police say the fight involved taking too long in the bathroom.
A police report says the players and the others involved likely had been drinking, but no one was ticketed or arrested. Of the three players involved, Gachkar is the only one of legal drinking age.
Both quarterback Blaine Gabbert and Gachkar are starters. Tyler Gabbert is in his first semester at Missouri after finishing high school early.

We enjoyed delicious margaritas made with fresh blackberries at the "Paradise" restaurant in Las Hadas. The owner there raises his own blackberries. They also make a coconut shrimp that is out of this world.

We finally decided to spend the rest of the summer season in Mexico. We'll head to Panama after the hurricane season ends in November.
Not wanting to just sit around in the marina, we decided to sail south to Manzanillo. We had a beautiful sail with about 6 knots of breeze on a beam reach, we were able to do about 5 knots of boat speed.
In this photo Pascale and Antoine are enjoying being at sea again.

We have been getting ready to depart Barra in fits and starts over the last week. It is really hard to get motivated to leave such a wonderful place.
There have been some projects. One would be that we had to test the windlass since I upgraded the power supply leading to it. We took the boat out into the bay today to test the anchor windlass, dropping anchor in 40 ft of water and raising it again. Success! It works like a charm!
I'm replacing the starting battery, because it's 6 years old and was starting to show some sluggishness.
We unloaded the anchor chain onto the dock today to paint new stripes on the chain every 20 feet. This way, we can know how much chain we have let out.
We got a book of charts for the entire Pacific coast between San Diego and Panama, to help us navigate in case our instruments get fried by lightning, for example. We ordered this in the US, and had it Fedex'ed to the wife of a fellow cruiser, who was flying down the next day. That's the best way to get anything into or out of Mexico.
Pascale and I have been feeling our oats about leaving. It's so nice and comfortable here. Cruising can be scary and a lot of hard work. It's so tempting to just stay here forever and enjoy the cushy resort life. They call it 'the velvet rut'.
But no, I think we'll test the waters and head south to Manzanillo, then to Zihuatanejo. After Zihuat we really have to make a commitment because it entails a new and very expensive insurance policy that will cover us all the way to Panama and into the Caribbean.
I'm leaving open the back door, that is, we can always bail out and reverse course back to Barra and spend the summer here. It would be so easy to do. Barra is so nice!

Pascale and I enjoyed a great Thai dinner on the outdoor terrace on the 5th floor of this fabulous hotel, the Grand Bay, in Barra de Navidad. This is the view from the table, towards the hotel.

There's a funky little palapa bar on the beach here called Piper's Cruiser Lounge, it's open air with a thatched roof. The band plays all the great rock and roll songs from the late 60s and 70s, like Credence Clearwater, Jimi Hendrix...
What really caught our eye however was an ancient looking life ring in this bar. It looks like it's been around many years. The ring has a Corinthian YC of San Francisco [CYC] burgee painted on it along with the yacht name "Magnifico" and the port name "Portland". Does any club historian know the story behind this CYC flagged boat?
Perhaps a CYC club historian knows the story. It would be interesting to know the rest of the story of 'Magnifico'.

Today I installed and wired in the new battery, it's a 4D deep cycle battery mounted under the bed in the forwaqrd cabin. This battery has its own 150 amp circuit breaker, and it's connected with X00 cables to the main 12v connection at the windlass (at the bow). This battery will serve as an additional battery for the house bank, and also supply high amperage when necessary directly to the windlass. We hope this will solve our windlass problems once and for all.
I shopped for a "battery box" for the 4D battery , but the ones I found were huge (more than six inches bigger than the battery all around). I found the perfect solution in a 13 gallon holding tank, which when you cut the top off, is the perfect size to house a 4D battery.

WASHINGTON (AP) - There's no work taking place on the Metro system this weekend.
Metro is taking a break from its usual weekend track work for cherry blossom season.
The transit agency says it won't conduct weekend work beginning this weekend and through April 14.
Metro says ridership increases by an average of more than 15 percent during the cherry blossom season. Weekend ridership can double to near-weekday levels during nice weather as people head to see the flowers.
More than 1 million people are expected in Washington to see the pink and white blossoms over the duration of this year's festival. The National Park Service said Monday that the peak time to seek the flowers will be between March 26 and 30.
