This is somewhat in response to the other thread, but what do people think needs to happen to make the tourney next year? It is great that Brackins is back but he had one of the best statistical years in the modern era of Cyclone basketball and we still finished 10th. Our RPI 167, so we'll realistically need to leapfrog about 125 teams to put ourselves in a position for an at-large. It comes down to a few things for me:
1. Diante has to improve enough to be a consistent offensive threat. Regardless of how people feel about him, even if he doesn't start he's our most experienced guard and he will be playing a lot and likely playing the majority of the minutes at the point. A floater or a respectable 12 footer would do wonders for his game.
2. Gilstrap has to be the real deal. I don't expect much more than 12 and 6 from him and if we know we're getting that I'd feel great about it.
3. At least one other guard has to step up. At this point we're working with a lot of unprovens - I like what I've heard about Christopherson and Colvin, Buckley showed some flashes, etc. But those guys will have to produce. This could be Lucca as well but I think we'll see him camping the perimeter again as I don't know if his game is as well rounded as we need it to be.
I think we will need productivity from Gilstrap for sure. Colvin would be great if he can contribute was well. If seems like nobody had flourished thus far under G Mac in their first year.
My concern is the 5 position. We don't really have a true 5. Hamiltion may develop into that person, but he didn't show it to me last year.
Can Dendy play the 5? He is listed at 6'9". Vanderbeken really plays like a 3, even though he is 6'11".
I don't believe we can make it to the NCAA Tourney unless one of these two guys are ready to play the 5.

I dont see it happening, but it is nice to actually feel optimistic going into the season for a change
Scott Christophersen- find a way to contribute. I really think he can be of some help. maybe not so much of an offensive scoring threat, btu from what ive seen he sees the floor very well and plays smart.
Diante- Drive and score or drive and dish... you have the ability now go out and do it. also needs to become a leader fo some sorts in my eyes.
Dendy, Gilstrap, and Colvin- dont dissapoint! im sick of getting excited for recruits that turn out to not be what we thought (ie: Lucca) hopefully all of these guys can see the court and help out in some way.
Lucca- wow... i know i might be in the minority but he needs some serious work. it is hard to be a good big 12 threat when all u can really do is spot up shoot. the biggest problem with lucca is ball control. he looks like a nervous puppy when he gets the ball. so lucca needs to just get more comfortable handling the ball and i would like to see some improvemnt on the defensive end of the court.
Boozer- fight for minutes. with some of these guards coming it might look like too many cooks in the kitchen. Boozer has to step up his level of play all-around to ensure quality minutes. Right now his biggest Pro is that when ever he gets in and scores the crowed likes to scream booooooooozer. thats great but what the crowd really wants int he long run is wins.
Hamilton and Vanderbeeken- REBOUNDS REBOUNDS REBOUNDS. you guys are huge and do a decent job of this already but if we could get every shot back that craig or anyone else takes... that would be awesome. Also it would be great if these 2 became more offensive threats so Brackins can not be high;y pressured alllll game. basically get soe respect from the league so Craig can do his thang.
last one i'll do: Mr. Craig Brackins..... i dont give a F what u do.... just put that round thing in the hoop as many times as you can. i would like to see a better/ mroe consistent mid range jump shot outta you but that would be it. just keep doin what you do best... and that is play basketball.
overall i think this team can make a serious run for NCAA's. on the other hand i wont be suprised if we dont make it. alot of this teams success is riding on how good these new recruits are gonna be, and if they are going to be able to contribute on a regular basis. Also we better hope we make NCAA's for mr mcdermotts sake because even though i'm not on the "fire him" bandwagon.... im thinking alot of people might jump on if we dont get a winning record
pfhew.... wow longest post for me ever
We need to have guards that can score. This is a guard-slasher oriented game now.
OSU made it to the NCAAs this year with basically 5 guards. If whoever plays the #1 and #2 can't make their team better AND score when needed, it will be tough to make it.
How many NCAA teams can you think of that didn't have a very good PG? I'm sure there were some, but I can't think of many...
I think we should be able to sweep the instate games (Drake, UNI, Iowa) we should beat the soft non-conference schedule (ala Hawaii, SDSU) and we should pick up at least 2 more home wins next year.
Thats 7 additional wins next year...just need to pick up a couple more home games next year.

None of that matters. We have to finish in the top 4 or 5 in the conference period. If we have a similar non-conference schedule, it would hurt us a lot as it was a joke...
In order to make the NCAA tourney, ISU must win 22 games.

My thoughts exactly right now.

man the CycloneYoda name really suits you with your wise wise insight
1. I agree on Diante. We need very solid and consistent PG play. Whether that's DG developing some sort of a jumpshot and the ability to finish at the rim or Buckley growing as a PG. I would be very surprised if Colvin can come in and leapfrog both DG and Buckley. Not saying it can't happen, but it probably won't.
2. We NEED a second, third, and fourth scoring option other than Brackins. He's good enough to carry us for part of a game, but we'll finish 10th again if we don't have anyone else show up. Hopefully Gilstrap can help although I'm leery of expecting too much from a first-year Cyclone. The aforementioned DG needs to be able to score consistently as well as Lucca, Christopherson, or JVB.
3. Justin Hamilton needs to continue to develop. We got more out of him last season than I expected. But when the other post player on the floor is Craig Brackins, it tends to make you look a lot better because of all the attention CB gets. If Ham continues to develop, we could have one heck of a frontcourt...not to mention deep with Dendy, JVB, and Pomlee.

I really think we'll win right around 20. More than that, to me, will be overachieving, less will be underachieving. I do think that the likelihood of winning more than 20 is greater than the likelihood of winning less.
This is all based on not looking at the schedule, though!
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

That darn song gets me every time. And that might be the same tune rumored ex-lovers Cameron Diaz and New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez are singing.
The Hidustan Times and Perez Hilton are reporting A-Rod and Cameron Diaz split. And according to Diaz's friends, the 38-year-old Hollywood beauty feels betrayed.
"They've broken up. Cameron is hurt and betrayed, because she tried so hard to please him. She went overboard," the mysterious friend told reporters.
After Diaz famously fed A-Rod popcorn at the Super Bowl and the pair's family day at Busch Gardens in Tampa during A-Rod's spring training, all signs pointed to a successful union. But alas, A-Rod could be on the hunt again for another starlet.

Behmor Plus Drum Speed Battle!!!
August 18, 2014
The new Behmor Plus upgrade panel gives you the ability to create your own roast profiles on the fly. We knew what to expect from this since we are familiar with the roaster's preset profiles. The only thing that drew a question mark over our heads, was the drum speed control. The user can toggle the drum from 8 rpm to 16 rpm at anytime during the roast. This is a unique feature in a drum roaster and we had nothing to compare it to, so we figured a little experiment was in order.
A faster drum in a Behmor means that the coffee gets pulled farther up the back of the drum during roation which exposes the bean mass to more heat from the the upper heat element in the back of the roaster. This actually shortens roast time which might be a good thing for folks dealing with roasters that aren't getting hot enough in the time the Behmor 1600 allows.
One taster was interested in what a roast at a medium drum speed would taste like. We think this could be possible by toggling the speeds during the roast...not sure if that woud wear down the motor though.
We roasted 2 half pound batches of Ethiopia Sidama Dereje Station to a city roast level using the slow and fast speeds. The slow drum batch went into the cooling cycle after 11 minutes and 15 seconds. The fast drum batch started cooling at 10 minutes and 45 seconds. After 2 days, we compared the grind color and some folks here in the office gave their feedback on how the brewed coffee tasted.
The general consensus around here was that the batch from the slow drum was sweeter and more developed but a bit flat. The fast drum batch had lively notes, was more complex and had more percieved acidity. We were glad that this setting made a difference in the cup. I adds another level of control to the new Behmor Plus features.

Good to see Marty and Miller have a nickname for us now. Well done guys.
I guess I've missed it (have not been around much lately)...what's going on?
Who are Marty and Miller?
Please elaborate
Cyclonefanatic posters were just compared to Rob Howe from Hawkeyenation by the twits in the afternoon on KXNO.
We are cockroaches because they are frauds?
If they are referring to us that way, I suggest people just don't listen. They have no show if no one listens.
Those two are the biggest Idiots on the air in Iowa, why people listen to them despite their shenanigans is beyond me.
At least will survive the nuclear blasts and astroids coming our way as we play in the national championship game for football! Then we can discuss and meltdown about the "what ifs".
I apologize as I made the mistake of tuning in and heard some UNI talk and was interested in their take and like normal (when they are angling) they through out a bunch of very negative comments and today they aimed them toward Hartzel (sp?) and how much better Dannen is as an AD (some obvious *** kissing to get them better hotel at the NCAA's I'm sure) and than next thing I know I'm hearing Rob Howe is coming up on the show and comparing him to a cockroach and than Marty pipes up something about just like Cyclonefanatic posters and how this site doesn't like them and blah blah freakin blah.
I will have to take your word for it. I don't listen anymore. BTW: NPR had an intersting piece on Tibet.
I don't see why you needed to apologize, I was being serious when I asked as I had no idea what was up. Saw a few threads dedicated to M&M recently, but have not had time to read 'em.
Well I guarantee you've just made their day. The first thing they'll do after their show, if not during one of their many, many commercials, will be to check CycloneFanatic to see if anyone mentioned it.
That's why I apologized, I knew after I hit submit I shouldn't have posted this. But did have some fun on Kenny's profile

Threads are safe, its the airways you have to beware of of, listening to them for more than 2 to 3 minutes at a time has be said to cause cancer. I read that in a book somewhere.

Hello Ladies,
Just needed a little bit of support and encouragment I guess. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child, however it's almost like my first all over again because this is my first time having a natural childbirth. My first son was induced and I had an epidural with my second son. On a side note I actually didn't know I was in labor with my second son. Since my first labor was induced I didn't know what it felt like to labor naturally. The night before he was born I started to have what I thought was an upset stomach, lol! I went to sleep that night, woke up the next morning with my "stomach ache" not knowing what was going on until I went to the bathroom and saw a toilet full of blood (sorry if that was too graphic). Anyway, I went to the hospital and by the time I got there I was 4 cm dilated and 90% effaced. At 7 cm I was given an epidural even though I told the nurses I was ok. I did NOT like the feeling of being medicated, not to mention the IV and process of getting the epidural. I knew there had to be a better way, so I began doing research. That's when I learned of the many benefits of natural childbirth. It never dawned on me before that I DO have options and I DO have a say in how my children are born.
But here is the problem, I would really love to have a midwife. That would be my dream! But unfortunately I live in a state where midwives cannot practice legally. I also wanted to get a doula but my husband was not on board for that. He feels like we can handle it on our own. We told our doctor on our last appointment that we intend to go natural. She took it pretty well. The only thing that bothered me is that she didn't want to look at our birth plan. Our hospital actually offers the option to have a water labor. They also provide birth balls and a squat bar for pushing, so that made me feel a little better. I guess I'm just a little apprehensive about having the support I need. I know my husband supports me, but he has yet to read any of the books I ordered. Oh, and I also wanted to take a Bradley class, but the closest one is 2 hours away in another city. Has anyone on here had a natural childbirth in a hospital, no midwife or doula? I know in my heart that I can do this. But sometimes those little what if's try to pop up into my mind. Any suggestions, support, and encouragement anyone has to offer is welcomed and much needed. Thanks!
UPDATE: I just want to say thanks to everyone for your responses. I almost got "suckered" into being induced on this Monday (which is my due date). I really didn't want to do it but then I started thinking that maybe it was for my baby's health. After a long talk with my husband he convinced me that it wasn't necessary and we should just stick to our plan and give our son more time. I'm happy to stick to my guns but I'm also a little disappointed about having to wait to hold my little one in my arms. As of my last dr's appointment yesterday I was only 2 cm. I"ll be 40 weeks Sunday and it just doesn't seem like I"m making any progress. I'm a bit discouraged and trying not to get depressed. I don't feel like I'm getting the proper encouragement from my husband either to keep going. Has anyone ever had to go past their due date to get the birth they wanted? Any words of advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated right now. Thanks for giving me an outlet to vent my frustrations.
UPDATE#2: Thanks once again to everyone who responded and offered their support and encouragement. I am SO very proud to say that I had my very first natural childbirth experience and I would not have had it any other way!! My little one was born on June 14th, a day after his due date. I actually went into labor around 11:30 PM the night before. I had a feeling I was in labor but I wasn't sure, so I played some Mahjongg until I got tired and then I went to bed and attempted to get some sleep. Throughout the night I was a bit uncomfortable so I didn't really sleep much. The next morning I noticed that my contractions went from being about 10 to 15 mins apart the night before to about 5 to 7 mins. I called my doctor's office and was advised to come in to get checked. When I got there she told me that I was at 3.5 cm and 40% effaced. She said that I could either go walk for a while and come back or I could go straight to labor and delivery. I think I was so excited at the idea of being in labor that I opted to go to labor and delivery. That was around 10:30 the morning of the 14th and my son was born at 11:00 that night!
I think what surprised me the most was that the pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Contractions with Pitocin hurt way worse! I had opted to have a water labor, so the nurses kept asking me "would you like to get in the tub now?", and each time I told them that I'd wait because I kept expecting the pain to get worse, but it never really did. What helped me the most was walking. I walked pretty much the whole time except for when I had to get on the EFM. Things didn't really get intense until about an hour and a half before I started pushing. The contractions REALLY started coming, but I wasn't checked the whole day so I didn't know how dilated I was. Right before I started pushing I went to the bathroom because I thought I had to do #2, and as it happened a nurse was passing by and heard me groaning in my room and came in to check on me as I was on the toilet. I told her that I felt like I needed to use it, and she told me to wait so she could check me. She had a feeling it was time to push, and sure enough when she checked me I was at 7 cm. It seemed that right after she checked me I got a really intense urge to push and she told me to go right ahead and she'd call the doctor in. From there everything is a blur, it happened so quickly. I got on the bed and pushed about 3 or 4 times and he was out! Another surprise was that the pushing wasn't painful. It just felt like I was constipated and taking a good dump :)
I also have to give the hospital staff kudos because they were very supportive of my natural birth. The nurses weren't pushy and I wasn't offered any drugs. They gave me my space to manage my pain the way I saw fit. It was truly a stress free experience, I loved it. And my husband did a WONDERFUL job. I couldn't have made it without him! So thanks again to everyone. I'm so glad I saw the Business of Being Born. It truly changed my outlook on what birth is all about.

I hope you've given birth by now, but if not, please keep sticking with your desire to birth naturally unless there's a medical indication to be induced (NOT because you're "overdue"). Two moms in my Hypnobabies class went over their due dates, one by two weeks and another by almost three weeks...the mom who went three weeks over still had the homebirth she wanted. Sorry your husband isn't as supportive as you'd like...but your baby will come when he's ready!
Did you give birth? You can speak to your baby and encourage him/her into the world. Trust your intuition as to what is necessary. Be still and listen. If you decide that you would like a gentle approach to encourage the arrival, research Reflexology and find out if there is a qualified Reflexologist in your town.
Take care,
Founder/Organic Mommy & Baby Healthcare Solutions
Dont get discouraged. I had a few days of contractions before I made any progress. The baby will come when it is ready.
I have a friend who had a baby this week. She was getting very uncomfertable but she didnt want an induction so she started doing all of the things that may help induce labor. She drank the raspberry tea, walked (alot), and had lots of sex. She made a little progress, to 3 cm, and had her midwife strip her membraines. She had some contractions for two days, but nothing painfull and finally she went into labor. From start to finish it was 6 hours and everything went great. It was the natural hospital we all dream about and I think it was because she didnt get discouraged and she stuck to her guns.
Things are going to be fine, just know that you have all of the women on this sight to support you.

BROOKSIDE - It's safe to say that not one player on the Shadyside football team was born when Bachman-Turner Overdrive had the hit song "Takin' Care of Business" in the 1970s.
Heck, some of their parents were probably just youngsters themselves.
The state-ranked Tigers got off to a quick start Friday night and put it into overdrive early in cruising to a 49-13 victory against outmanned Bridgeport on a soggy Perkins Field inside Bill Jobko Stadium.
Shadyside, which entered the game in the No. 4 spot in Division VI, Region 21, is now 9-0 and will look to complete a perfect season Friday at Barnesville. Only one other Tigers team has finished 10-0, that coming in 1977.
"We were pretty efficient in the first half," Shadyside coach Mark Holenka said. "We jumped out on them early. We came here and got done what we wanted to. We got everybody in the game and, despite a few bumps and bruises, everyone is healthy for next week."
The Tigers, who were also atop the OVAC Class 2A standings, scored 21 points on nine offensive plays in the first quarter alone. A pair of partially blocked punts on Bridgeport's first two possessions resulted in 14 points as senior quarterback Chase Kinemond capped a three-play, 42-yard drive with a 11-yard run.
Brooks Ramsey rumbled 4 yards after the second blocked punt as the count grew to 14-0. The Tigers marched 37 yards on five plays the next time they had the ball, with lineman Cory Banco crashing in from a yard out for a 21-0 count.
All three times the Bulldogs had the ball they started at their own 20 after Hudson boomed the kickoffs into the end zone.
"They are a good team and they played like it," Bridgeport coach Rudy Vavrock said of Shadyside. "They've got a weapon in their kicker and he pinned us deep every time in the first quarter. We couldn't get out of that big hole.
"Offensively, they are really good team and we had a hard time slowing them down."
Shadyside reached the end zone on its first two possessions of the second quarter. Junior Chris Littell busted up the middle for a 15-yard scoring jaunt and, after Dillon Tomlinson picked off a Bridgeport pass, Alex Quinn sprinted 9 yards to paydirt for a 35-0 halftime margin.
It became 42-0 midway through the third quarter when Jacob Spencer, the other half of Shadyside's 'jumbo' package, bulled his way in from 3 yards out.
The Bulldogs avoided being shutout, and also snapped the Tigers' string of scoreless quarters at 10 straight, when senior tailback Dallas Fields, who had been bottled up all night, broke loose for a 76-yard dash. The extra-point was blocked.
Shadyside responded with an eight-play, 67-yard drive that took nearly six minutes off the clock. Sophomore Austin Dorris rolled right and scampered to the end zone from 10 yards out.
Bridgeport concluded the scoring when Patrick Britton found the end zone from 11 yards out.
Shadyside accumulated 369 total yards, with 237 of those coming on the ground. Ten different Tigers carried the ball and seven of them scored touchdowns. Leading the way was Littell with 71 yards on seven carries. Ramsey finished with 43 on the same amount of carries.
Kinemond completed 6 of 7 passes for 80 yards, while Dorris went 4-for-8 for 52 yards. Hudson caught three passes for 34 yards. Littell had two receptions for 34 stripes and Dorris hauled in two for 28.
Bridgeport totalled 157 yards of total offense. However, if you take away Fields' long run and a 47-yard scamper by Britton, the Bulldogs couldn't muster much offensive firepower. In fact, they had minus-1 yard at the half.
Fields and Britton both ran for 77 yards, with Fields doing it on 13 carries and Britton on eight. Bailey McGrath, who injured his left ankle late in the first half and watched the second half in sweats, went 2 of 6 for 33 yards.
Shadyside led 21-5 in first downs.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- After Walt Disney passed on St. Louis as a location for his next great theme park in 1965, city leaders were still determined to build something awe-inspiring downtown.
Disney's Riverfront Square theme park would have gone on land just north of Busch Stadium at Market Street and Broadway.
With that prime real estate still available after Disney passed, St. Louis Mayor Alfonso Cervantes had what he thought was a stroke of genius.
After attending the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, New York, Cervantes was mesmerized by the Spanish government's two-story Pavilion exhibit. It featured Spanish-themed restaurants and gift shops. The architecture and furniture inside earned it the nickname the "jewel" of the 1964 World's Fair.
Cervantes was convinced he could buy the Pavilion from the Spanish government and relocate it to St. Louis to create buzz downtown and honor the city's brief time as a territory of Spain.
So, he did.
St. Louis spent $6 million to take the Pavilion apart and rebuild it at Market and Broadway.
Parades and celebrations marked the opening of the Spanish Pavilion in 1969.
Even then, some protesters failed to see Cervantes' vision.
In a film clip stored in the KSDK film vault, the mayor responded to his critics: "They have one method of how to bring a better life here and I have another method," Cervantes said defiantly.
Sadly, the critics were right. The Pavilion was a flop.
Years later, Donald Breckenridge bought the Pavilion, added a tower and opened The Breckenridge Pavilion Hotel. It was later bought by Marriott and a second tower of hotel rooms was added.
St. Louisans know it as the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark.
Every year, thousands of hotel guests and night life patrons at the Three Sixty Rooftop club pass through the two-story lobby without realizing the strange history of the building that sits there.
This is a prime example of the type of story we're featuring in a new segment called "Wait, they did what?!?" Do you know a story that fits that category - maybe it is a chapter in local history that seems too strange to be true, but it is!

Wednesday afternoon news, August 22
Train Collides With Semi Truck and Trailer
(Le Mars) -- A semi truck and trailer collided with a north bound Union Pacific Train Wednesday afternoon at Le Mars. The accident happened at 18th Street Southwest and Highway 75. It doesn't appear there were any injuries involved with the collision as the back of the trailer came into contact with the train. The truck, owned by Westside Transport of Cedar Rapids was hauling bales of cardboard waste. The train consisted of grain cars. The truck ws attempting to cross the railroad tracks, when it appears to have yielded to north bound traffic on Highway 75, leaving the trailer to remain on the tracks when the train hit it. The Le Mars Police Department and Union Pacific rail officials are investigating the accident.
Le Mars City Council Discusses Madison Avenue Water Line
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council has approved the date of September 4th at 12:00 noon as the date and time for a public hearing regarding the extension of a water main on Madison Avenue. The area that will be served by the city as a result of the water main extension are the properties north of the interchange of Highway 60 and Highway 75. Currently, Fedders Marine and RV has indicated an interest in moving its business to that location. City officials anticipate other businesses may also show an interest in the area. Until the construction is completed, Fedders Marine and RV and other businesses will get their water from the Southern Sioux Water Association, of which the city of Le Mars will temporary purchase that water. Southern Sioux Water Association already offers water services to residents living along Highway 75, north of Le Mars. The city council hopes to have construction start in October with the timetable for completion on the Madison Avenue water line to be finished in November.
Le Mars City Council Sets Date For Bids On Former IDOT Property
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council also approved the date of September 4th for a public hearing regarding city owned property located on North Highway 75. The property was formerly owned by the Iowa Department of Transportation and was used as a storage facility.

Viet Nam Veteran Gets His Medals
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa Army veteran has received new Vietnam War medals to replace ones that were stolen from his home in the late 1990s.
U.S. Rep.Steve King presented Dennis Roberts Tuesday with 11 new medals. The medals given to Roberts include the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Air Medal. He's waiting for one more, the Good Conduct Medal.
Roberts received the medals from King during a ceremony in Sioux City.
Roberts says the medals will occupy a blank spot on his wall, as a reminder of the days when he served his country. Roberts served in the Vietnam War from 1969 to 1970.
Rastetter Amends Financial Disclosure For Ethics Commission
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Board of Regents member Bruce Rastetter has filed an amended financial disclosure statement with a state ethics board just days before the board considers whether
he violated state ethics rules.
The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board meets Thursday to review a complaint filed by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, a government watchdog group.
The complaint alleges Rastetter misrepresented himself on financial disclosure forms as a farmer when in fact he owns numerous investments and gets significant income from executive
positions at corporations he oversees.
The new disclosure filed Monday adds his position as CEO at two companies in addition to multiple investments and real estate holdings.
Rastetter's lawyer says the new disclosures are intended to resolve ethics questions.
Iowa CCI declared victory saying it's an admission of guilt.
Restaurants Complain of Odor
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines city officials say residents are complaining about a putrid smell that forced patio diners at one restaurant to move indoors.
The Des Moines Register says (http://dmreg.co/NEVTq4 ) the stench was traced to an animal rendering plant less than a mile southeast of the downtown. City officials say they received 14
calls Monday night, enough to trigger the city's first odor inspection in 10 years.
Bruce Gerleman, who owns a downtown seafood restaurant, describes the odor as a "putrid, dead animal smell."
He says dignitaries dining at his restaurant after a World Food Prize ceremony complained about the smell Monday night. He says patio diners at Jethro's BBQ, another restaurant he owns, were so
offended that they moved indoors.
Inspectors traced the smell to Darling International, which processes animal byproducts.
Company Wants To Convert Waste Into Ethanol
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A company that converts organic material into ethanol is requesting access to Iowa City's trash.
KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids says (http://bit.ly/Owqray ) Fiberight Industries is planning to build a $60 million refinery in Blairstown. The Maryland company is expanding into Iowa, and a top executive asked Tuesday to lease three acres of Iowa City's landfill.
Fiberight vice president Steve Gerber says more than 50 percent of the materials that go into landfills is organic and can be turned into ethanol.
Gerber says the company also sifts out recyclables and methane gas, both of which can go back to the community for other purposes. The company estimates the project would reduce trash coming into the landfill by about 80 percent.

Actor Josh Radnor's onscreen children in "How I Met Your Mother" knew how the hit series would end nine years ago, after producers revealed all to them at the very start of the show.
David Henrie and his TV sister Lyndsy Fonseca have been filming reaction scenes to the relationship tales told by Radnor's character Ted Mosby since 2005, when they were teens, and they continued to make non-speaking appearances in the sitcom until their brief dialogue at the very end of the series, which wrapped for good when its season nine finale aired in America on Monday.
Actress Cobie Smulders, who played Mosby's on/off love interest Robin Scherbatsky, reveals, "(Creators) Carter (Bays) and Craig (Thomas), are so smart. They had actually planned the ending during our pilot.
"They shot some scenes with the two children – we shot it with them when they were teenagers and now they're in their mid-20s – we shot this whole scene with them.
"It's kind of amazing that it's been nine years and it's come full-circle and they (Bays and Thomas) have been allowed to see their vision through."
WATCH: 'How I Met Your Mother' alternate ending
But actor Henrie admits it hasn't always been easy to keep the show's ultimate plot under wraps for so long.
He tells Yahoo's The Insider, "I'm 24 now, but when I turned 21 I started going out with my buddies. Everyone was always asking me, 'Dude, who's the mom? Who's the mom?'.
"People would try and bribe me with all sorts of alcohol, but I kept silent. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't even tell my mother."
His secrecy vow paid off – the show, which also starred Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris, attracted a series-high ratings explosion with 12.9 million viewers tuning in to watch the finale.

HADLEY Town officials have hammered out a settlement with a bicyclist who challenged the Hadley Police Department in court over bicyclists rights on the road.
The agreement, which the Select Board is scheduled to review in a closed session Wednesday, averts a federal trial that was scheduled to begin next week involving alleged police harassment of Eli Damon, a bicycle advocate who lives in Easthampton. It also comes three months after a U.S. magistrate ruled on right-to-the-road questions Damon had raised in his 2011 lawsuit against police.
According to the terms, the town has agreed to pay $27,500 to cover Damons lawyers fees. The pact, which town officials must still sign, settles complaints of malicious prosecution, illegal seizure of property and civil rights violations that were scheduled to be heard during a jury trial beginning Monday.

IBM just published a terrific case study about the use of analytics in New York State. Predictive modeling helped New York reduce questionable tax refunds by $1.2B and increase revenue by $100M. Other states are following suit.
In the US and around the world, government leaders are learning that it is possible to run efficient programs while making sure that money is distributed properly. In fact, the return on investment for the tools, people and processes to improve program integrity of large programs is not just high, it can be crazy-high.
To help our clients address these needs, IBM is expanding its solutions from healthcare and tax fraud to unemployment insurance and other Health and Human Service programs. We are applying lessons learned from the war on terror and money laundering to create powerful new approaches to both identify and prevent fraud and error.
While analytics plays an important role in protecting program integrity, governments also increasingly rely on analytics to make a positive impact on the lives of their citizens and communities. We have worked with clients to set priorities, grow local economies, improve outcomes for at-risk youth, and match jobs with job seekers.
That is exciting stuff. I'll shift gears from fraud and error to writing about those types of opportunities over the next several months.

Item # PRL0112
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Prologo Nago Evo TS Saddle $0.00
Sure, Prologo's Evo Nack saddle's carbon rails make for a an ultralight throne and some serious bike bling, but Prologo would steer you in another direction if you're looking to rock some rocks. For cyclocross or mountain biking, the company recommends the Prologo Nago Evo TS Saddle — and so do we.
This Nago's "TS" stands for Titanium Solid, which refers to the rails and their more durable nature without severely compromising weight. The saddle features the same innovations as its lighter cousin, including a featherweight carbon frame — the "skeleton" of the saddle that supports the foam and attaches to the rails. This is molded with varying densities so that vibration reduction is built-in, and so that the saddle flexes slightly under power. Multi-durometer foam is attached to the frame, with firm support beneath your hips and lighter, more forgiving foam at the mid-section, toward the nose. Speaking of which, if you need to scoot forward on the saddle, the microfiber cover features ridges that add just enough grip to hold you squarely and comfortably, while Prologo's Easy Stroke Design profile gives your legs more space to move for greater pedaling efficiency without sacrificing support.
The Prologo Nago Evo TS Saddle comes in 134mm and 141mm widths, measured across the widest part of the saddle. If you have broader hips, the wider model is going to suit you better. The saddle weighs approximately 226 grams and comes in three color schemes: Hard Black, Hard Black/white, and White/black.

Stay cool and fresh on your day hike with the Deuter Futura 28 Backpack. The backpack's ventilating AirComfort mesh back panel and supportive yet nimble Flex Lite suspension system will keep you comfortable and charging on to the end of the trail. The ergonomic shoulder straps and hip-belt with mesh-covered foam padding efficiently distribute the weight of your load while offering breathable comfort. The shoulder straps not only adjust to fit your body shape, they are adjustable to suit loads of varying sizes and weights. The sternum strap keeps the backpack from shifting from side to side on uneven terrain, and the side compression straps secure your load and reduce volume if tightened down to keep items inside from moving around.
The Futura 28 holds up to 18 pounds of gear, and offers a number of pockets and compartments to separate out smaller or wet items. Trekking pole loops on the side of the backpack hold your poles when you don't need them. If the weather's drizzly when you hit the trail, the backpack's water-resistant fabric will protect contents inside, and an integrated rain cover offers added protection if the drizzling turns into a downpour. The backpack is compatible with your hydration reservoir, and includes a reflective attachment for your drinking tube so you can easily find it if you're out on the trail before sunrise or after sundown.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have an older version of this bag that I bought back in 2005 and its just now starting to wear out (seams, zippers and basic wear with the fabric itself). But I could not ask for a better bag-- I've used it while traveling the world, numerous climbing and camping trips, I've used it when I was in college, and for work, and its nice enough to take out on a day hike or picnic. The bag is just the perfect size! The breathability is amazing, and the support it provides is perfect. I herniated a disc in my lower back a couple of years ago, and this pack allowed me to continue to carry weight without aggravating the injury. 6 stars.

Tying Inventory To Feeds
Search Engine Watch
, Monday, August 29, 2011 1:38 PM
Retailers gearing up for the holiday season likely have begun paying attention to products on the list of items to market. As new products arrive at warehouses and stores, Dave Ragals reminds marketers to tie keywords to inventory feeds so that when an item sells out, the keyword and bids in AdWords and adCenter are paused. Ragals provides tips on optimizing for revenue per click as well as how to monitor inventory changes to anticipate fluctuations on conversion rates and leverage price reductions in creative pieces.

Enlightenment started as a project to build a Window Manager for X11. That was way back in 1996. It has grown much since. It still produces this Window Manager, but it has evolved to also cover Mobile, Wearable and TV UI needs for projects such as Tizen as well as traditional the "desktop" UI. We still push out releases, so see our download page for more details on the latest releases, or see our contribute page for source code repositories in their latest development state.
It also is in the transition from X11 to Wayland. We are fully committed to moving to Wayland eventually as this is definitely the future of the graphical display layer on Linux.
We still primarily support Linux for Enlightenment, but there is some effort (based on help and support from users and some developers) to support the BSDs.
In the process of developing a Window Manager, A set of libraries were developed in order to achieve that goal. These libraries are known collectively as EFL. They cover a range of functionality from main-loop, to graphics, scene graphs, networking, widgets, data storage, IPC and much more.
We now are starting to pull in bindings support directly into EFL. We are working on having bindings auto-generated for C++, Lua and Javascript (v8/node.js). We also would like to pull in our Python bindings in the future so we can support as many languages as possible and keep them up to date.
For our libraries, our primary development environment is Linux, but we make an effort to support the BSDs as fully as possible, as well as OSX and Windows.
We eat our own dog food. We use our libraries not just to make Enlightenment but to also make other applications for regular every-day use. We make these applications available for free.
We have some of the usual suspects like a terminal emulator, a video player, and even the start of an IDE.
Even native Tizen applications use EFL for their development because we have focused on remaining lean and still featureful. Unlike many traditional toolkits, we have based ourselves around a scene graph from the ground up, making EFL very different in nature, yet allowing us to seamlessly switch from software rendering to OpenGL or any other mechanism that can be put in a render engine for the canvas scene graph engine we call Evas, as well as layer widgets and objects with alpha channels from the ground up and no special tricks.
This is by no means a complete list of applications, and we are not done making more. We may not have started the traditional way, but are building our library over time, and Tizen has another library brewing over there as well.

#21 Utah Accepts Bid To MAACO Bowl Las Vegas XIX
Utes to bring nine-game bowl
winning streak to Sam Boyd Stadium on Dec. 22
LAS VEGAS - The University of Utah, which began its nation-leading nine-game bowl winning streak here more than a decade ago, has accepted an invitation and will return to play in the 19th annual MAACO Bowl Las Vegas at 5 p.m. PT on Dec. 22, Executive Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy announced Wednesday.
The Utes, who are ranked 21st in both polls and sit 20th in this week's BCS Standings, are 10-2 overall and finished 7-1 in Mountain West Conference play. Head coach Kyle Whittingham and his team will represent the MWC for the final time before beginning play in the Pacific-10 Conference in 2011.
Utah's opponent for the game will be announced this weekend. All-time, Utah is 2-0 in the event, having won the 1999 Las Vegas Bowl over Fresno State, 17-16, and the 2001 edition over Southern California by a score of 10-6.
''Our committee is thrilled to welcome back an old friend in Utah, which has had so much success in the Las Vegas Bowl but hasn't played here in nine years,'' Kunzer-Murphy said. ''We expect to feature another great matchup in front of what we hope will be another sold-out crowd.''
The MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, which is owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television (ERT), will be televised nationally on ESPN HD. Last year's game attracted 40,018 fans, which marked the fifth consecutive sellout crowd as No. 15 BYU defeated No. 16 Oregon State 44-20 in the first-ever meeting of two ranked teams at the annual event.
Since the first Las Vegas Bowl was played in 1992, six of the current nine MWC teams have appeared in the game a combined 14 times, compiling an 8-6 record.
Tickets for the 2010 MAACO Bowl Las Vegas are on sale now and this year include complimentary transportation from the two host hotels to and from Sam Boyd Stadium. Prices of remaining tickets are $35, $55 and $100 and can be reserved by phone at 1-866-388-FANS, online at www.unlvtickets.com or in person at the Thomas & Mack Center box office. For information on sponsorship opportunities and corporate ticket packages, call (702) 732-3912 or log on to www.maacobowllv.com.
''Getting an invitation to the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas is not only a wonderful reward for our nationally ranked football team, it is also a reward for our great fans. Las Vegas is a popular destination for Utah fans, as evidenced by the big crowds that have made the trip to attend our regular-season games against UNLV over the past several years. The proximity of Las Vegas to the majority of our fan base, along with good weather, world-class entertainment and a 10-2 Utah football team, should make this an attractive bowl game for our fans. I know that Coach Whittingham and the players have had their sights set on this game ever since beating BYU last week, so I am happy for them and for all of us involved with Utah athletics.''
''We are very excited about our invitation to play in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl. It's been a while since we have played a bowl game in Las Vegas and our players and coaches are looking forward to the opportunity. We are proud to represent the Mountain West Conference in its top bowl game and anticipate a strong turnout by our fans.''

Jupiter in Exceptional Seeing
Posted 05 January 2013 - 08:54 AM
Attached is an observation made of Jupiter and its satellites on 2013 January 3rd. I have to say, it was the most remarkable evening I have ever experinced in my observing career! We had a sudden clearing at 2150UT, and the sky became very transparent. Not only that, the seeing was exceptional- indeed I don't think I've seen conditions as steady as this, Jupiter was without any distortion or quiver for many many minutes at a time.
I made two drawings of Jupiter. Interestingly, the GRS no longer seems to be touching the StropB which now appears as a very dark brown. The spot just near to the GRS also appears to be apart of the belt. Oval BA seemed to contain more orange colour than the GRS. The region fol the GRS in the SEB showed a mass of delicate white regions spearated by fine grey lines. A number of festoons present in the EZ, and what looks like a dark barge was present in the NEBn by the time of the second drawing.
Perhaps the most interesting was the satellites. I examined both Io and Ganymede at x400. Io remained featureless throughout the observation, but I was stunned to see some very subtle shading on Ganymede, what appeared to be a brighter region at the top, and a darker region at the bottom. No structure, just subtle shadings.
I had hoped to do some filter work- in particular I wanted to examine the planet and satellites in W#25A and W#80A but the clouds came up again rapidly at 2316UT and I was unable to continue further. Oh for another night like that!
Best wishes,

congratulations to this observing session!
What You wrote I had experienced three times in this period.
At two nights it came cold air from north and the seeing would stable from one minute to the other.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 07:20 PM
Keep up the good work!
And you, sir. Again, if you take an hour's worth of observing and compress everything that pops or fades into view, that's what Jupiter would look like. Well done.
On Ganymede as in life, nothing is easy.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 12:49 AM
Paul, sure. Your Ganymede sketch looks a lot like my own. It's obvious you had great seeing, the wealth of detail is stunning. Congratulations.
Actually you got more detail Norme. You over performer you! Io is interesting here .

The patches that were visible on Io were fleeting, and I cannot convince myself they were real. I have not observed the satellite as elongated either wit my 8" reflector or the University of Leicester's 20" DK. That said, it maybe the effect only occurs at a certainly CM longitude (or range of longitudes) for Io which were not visible when I was observing it.
When I used the Lowell telescope, I did seem dark and light patches on Ganymede, perhaps it is worth observing the satellites more often.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 11:54 AM
...perhaps it is worth observing the satellites more often.
Yes, that's the point. More folks should try it. It does require pretty good seeing or some longer periods of steady seeing, at least. Give it another look, see what you think.
Reading Pikering's account of it was exciting. Barnard's sketches were interesting, too, but maybe way out of my ability.

staggering, and it does not surprise me at all that you captured markings on the Jovian moon.
I spent the evening observing Sirius and the Pup. It was the first time in over 40 years that I observed Sirius
without any abberations in the eyepiece. Seeing the Pup,in near perfect conditions at only 18 degress
altitude was simply awesome. Hope I don't have to go another 40 years,for a repeat of those seeing conditions.

Legal, Policy and Institutional Changes to Support Decentralised, Community-based Natural Resource Management in Lebanon and Syria
To put in place enabling conditions for the preservation of existing traditional systems of resource tenure that contribute to conservation and sustainable management of natural resources
Background and activities
Many traditional systems of natural resource tenure are known to have been sustainable and even beneficial for conservation. IUCN and its partners wish to enable these traditions to continue despite modern changes in economy and society. Syria and Lebanon provide case studies of the potential for traditional practices to ensure sustainable natural resource management. This sub-project works to promote sustainable livelihoods through better governance rooted in local and district level institutions.
IUCN and its partners are carrying out activities in the Akkar Hermel Region of Lebanon and the Abu Rigmin protected area, Abbasye Cooperative and the Palmyra Desert in the Ibis Protected Area/Al Talila Reserve in Syria.
In Syria, there is a need to improve the national legal framework regulating management of protected areas to ensure that land rights are recognised and tangible benefits from conservation are gained by traditional users. Sustainable eco-tourism is a potential avenue for economic security and IUCN and partners support development of these ventures through consultations and capacity building.
In Lebanon, the economy depends largely on dryland agriculture and important fishery breeding activities along the Assi River. In the upper watersheds, there are important forest areas that need protection, restoration and management. IUCN and partners are analysing governance structures of existing community-based management systems to help set up two National Policy Committees that will function as mechanisms for regular dialogue between policy makers, local agencies and community leaders on natural resource governance and required policy responses.
A set of policy guidelines and recommendations are being developed to integrate stakeholder participation in natural resource management policies and investments. This will allow for the establishment of new institutional frameworks for local governance, including community conserved areas, to be achieved through participatory and consensus building approaches.
Training workshops and knowledge/experience sharing form an important part of this project. This will improve the capacity of local decision-makers and community members to manage natural resources sustainably.
Expected changes in policy and practice include:
- Developed policy frameworks, institutional mechanisms and legislation put in place to ensure biodiversity conservation and the maintenance of viable traditional resource tenure systems
- Opportunities for sustainable livelihoods and nature conservation through development
- Improved capacities of local decision-makers to manage natural resources sustainably as a result of increased participation and representation in planning and decision-making processes
IUCN West-Asia is responsible for the overall project activity.
Local partners include: the Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL), MADA Communities & Environment in Lebanon, Municipalities of Hermel and the Bekaa region in Lebanon, the General Commission for al-Badia Management and Development DC, the Syrian Society for Wildlife Conservation (SSCW) and several community-based organisations in target areas in Syria.

When Brute Force Fails: How to Have Less Crime and Less Punishment (Princeton University Press, October, 2009) by Mark A. R. Kleiman, professor of public policy
Since the crime explosion of the 1960s, the prison population in the United States has multiplied fivefold, to one prisoner for every hundred adults -- a rate unprecedented in American history and unmatched anywhere in the world. Even as inmate numbers increase, crime has stopped falling, and poor people and minorities still bear the brunt of both crime and incarceration, according to author and crime policy expert Mark A. R. Kleiman.
Simply locking up more people for lengthier terms is no longer a workable crime-control strategy. But, says Kleiman, there has been a revolution -- largely unnoticed by the press -- in controlling crime by means other than brute-force incarceration: substituting swiftness and certainty of punishment for randomized severity, concentrating enforcement resources rather than dispersing them, communicating specific threats of punishment to specific offenders, and enforcing probation and parole conditions to make community corrections a genuine alternative to incarceration. Kleiman explains how the United States got into the current crime and punishment trap and offers advice on how both crime and the ever-growing prison population can be reduced by half within a decade.
Human Services as Complex Organizations (Sage Publications, July 2009) Edited by Yeheskel Hasenfeld, professor of social welfare
Blending theory with application, the new 2009 edition of this popular book highlights the moral choices and accomplishments made by human service organizations. New topics in this edition include the impact of the policy environment, emotional labor, and advocacy along with new perspectives with original studies on organizational ideologies, conditions of work, and diversity and discretion.
The updated collection weaves the latest theoretical and empirical studies in macro theory with contemporary examples from hospitals, schools, social service organizations, mental health centers, and public welfare agencies.
Sidewalks: Conflict and Negotiation Over Public Space (The MIT Press, May 2009) Co-authored by Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, professor of urban planning
Protest space, pubic space -- What do sidewalks mean? In this first book-length analysis of the sidewalk as a distinct public space, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and co-editor Renia Ehrenfeucht (UP Ph.D. '06) examine the evolution of the American urban sidewalk and trace conflicts that have arisen over its competing uses. They discuss the characteristics of sidewalks as small urban public spaces, and such related issues as the ambiguous boundaries of their "public" status, contestation over specific uses, control and regulations, and the implications for First Amendment speech and assembly rights.
Sidewalks includes historical and contemporary examples as well as case study research and archival data from five cities -- Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle. Contributing authors focus on how the functions and meanings of street activities have shifted and have been negotiated through controls and interventions.
With more people returning to city centers in recent decades, the authors explore the role of the urban sidewalk in the early part of the 21st century, how competing interests can be balanced and what design features and policies are fair, and how planners can promote vibrant public spaces.
Do Prisons Make Us Safer? The Benefits and Costs of the Prison Boom (Russell Sage Foundation, February, 2009) Co-edited by Michael A. Stoll, professor of public policy and urban planning
The U.S. prison system has ballooned to more than two million inmates with annual corrections spending above $64 billion. This new book examines the effects and of this build up. Stoll and co-editor Steven Raphael brought together top researchers from throughout the United States to address an important question: does the marginal crime reduction benefit of increased incarceration outweigh its social and economic costs to society?
The book's contributors tread new ground in examining the fiscal impact on states, effects on children, and employment prospects for former inmates. Among the researchers' key findings are: trends in criminal behavior account for only a small fraction of the prison boom, 85 percent of the rise in incarceration can be attributed to "get tough on crime" policies that have increased both the likelihood of a prison sentence and the length of time served, and, while prison time effectively deters and incapacitates criminals in the short term, such long-term benefits as overall crime reduction or individual rehabilitation are less clear cut.
The Gloves-Off Economy: Workplace Standards at the Bottom of America's Labor Market (Cornell University Press, September 2008) Edited by Chris Tilly, professor of urban planning
Increasing numbers of employers are evading long-established laws and standards designed to protect workers, from the minimum wage to job safety standards to the right to organize. The Gloves-Off Economy includes a wide range of analyses of how employers break, bend and evade workplace laws and standards in the United States, along with proposals for remedying this increasingly serious problem.
The books contributors argue that the "gloves-off economy," is not just a problem of sweatshops and a minority of small businesses, but affects every corner of the low-wage labor market. In addition, employers who play by the rules are under growing pressure to follow suit, intensifying the search for low-cost business strategies across a wide range of industries and ratcheting up into ever higher reaches of the labor market.
The Gloves-off Economy is the first to provide a comprehensive, integrated analysis of this topic. Contributors include economists, sociologists, labor attorneys, union strategists, and other experts to offer varying perspectives on both the problem and the creative solutions currently being explored in a wide range of communities and industries.

The most common use of our Digital Suggestion Box is to recommend a title for the collections. Most often, books are suggested, but from time to time we also hear about journals and magazines. We are always glad to receive such suggestions and would be happy to see the number of suggestion grow.
Typically, we forward each such message to the librarian responsible for developing the part of our collection in which we would place the recommended item. These subject specialist librarians are called liaisons. Each liaison librarian is in charge of developing one or more subject areas within our collections. These subject areas cover the full range of what is studied, taught, and researched at the University.
After forwarding a recommendation to a liaison librarian, we also let the person who made the recommendation know the name and email address of that librarian and make clear that future suggestions can be made either through the Suggestion Box or by contacting the liaison librarian directly.
If you would like to cut out the middleman and recommend books and serials directly to a liaison librarian, you can identify the librarian you want by going to the directory of Librarian Liaisons at http://library.wayne.edu/geninfo/staff/facultyliaison.php.
It is also possible to recommend books for purchase directly through our catalog. When you first open the catalog, just under the search box you will find the link "Suggest a Title." When you click on that link, a form will open allowing you to make your recommendation. You can go directly to this form now by clicking on this link: https://elibrary.wayne.edu/acquire.

Ana Ivanovic, who'll be facing Dominika Cibulkova in Moscow's second round, is featured on the cover and an inside interview with China: Sports Illustrated. I guess it counts as a "sports" cover because she's wearing a gown while standing in an empty pool? Whatever...
Anyway, the second seeded Serb was asked by the magazine why she learned Spanish and she replied,
I have always enjoyed visiting Spain and Latin America. I trained there a little bit some years ago, before I turned professional, and I really enjoyed playing tournaments in South America. I love the latin way of life: it is very relaxed, and I also like that the people are very family-orientated, like me.Ah-ha! Now we know why Ana keeps traveling to Spain and has been hanging out with Fernando Verdasco recently. She loves her some latin!
I suppose if Anando doesn't work out, she'll have plenty of willing options over there.
