FINALS WATCH: Louisville wins national title
ATLANTA Around the Final Four and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the games.
Rick Pitino has history.
The Cardinals' coach became the first to win titles at two different schools, adding to the one he won with Kentucky by leading Louisville to a 82-75 victory over Michigan on Monday night.
Louisville trailed by 12 early in the game, but turned up the pressure on defense, kept up their hot shooting on offense and made enough free throws down the stretch to put away the Wolverines.
Luke Hancock, who led Louisville with 22 points, made two foul shots with 29.8 seconds left for an 80-74 lead. And after Tim Hardaway Jr. scored at the other end for Michigan, Peyton Siva added two more foul shots with 12.9 seconds to go to seal the game.
Trey Burke's 3-pointer in the closing seconds missed everything and went out of bounds, and the Cardinals started to celebrate as Russ Smith was fouled with 2 seconds left.
When the buzzer sounded, the Cardinals rushed to center court and began jumping as fireworks exploded in the Georgia Dome and confetti fell onto the floor.
- Dave Skretta - http://twitter.com/@APdaveskretta
Louisville has stormed back and taken the lead since trailing Michigan by 12 points in the first half of Monday night's championship game.
Michigan led the top-seeded Cardinals 33-21 in the first half. The Cardinals recovered to lead 71-64 with 4:34 remaining - a 19-point turnaround.
Luke Hancock started the comeback with 16 points in the first half.
- Charles Odum - http://twitter.com/@CharlesOdum
The attendance for Monday night's Louisville-Michigan game at the Georgia Dome is 74,326 - a record for a championship game.
The record may not last long. The 2014 Final Four will be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Attendance there could reach 80,000.
- Charles Odum
Foul trouble is starting to mount for Louisville.
Russ Smith and Peyton Siva, the Cardinals' starting guards, each picked up their third foul early in the second half, along with Luke Hancock, who had been hot from the 3-point line.
The foul trouble in the backcourt is especially troublesome for Louisville because of the injury sustained by Kevin Ware, who had been providing valuable minutes off the bench.
Ware broke his leg in the regional finals against Duke.
The Wolverines were in better shape, with only forward Mitch McGary in foul trouble. The big forward picked up his fourth with 9:11 left in the game.
- Dave Skretta
So much for that theory about poor shooting in domes.
Michigan and Louisville aren't having any trouble. The teams combined to start the second half 5 of 6 from the field.
The Wolverines took a 38-37 lead into halftime Monday night thanks in part to shooting 50 percent from the field, and 6 of 11 from beyond the arc. Spike Albrecht helped, of course, with his 6-for-7 half and by going 4 for 4 from deep.
The Cardinals aren't doing shabby, either. They were hitting at a 46-percent clip and were 5 of 8 from beyond the arc, led by a 4-for-4 effort from Luke Hancock.
There's long been a belief that shooting in domes is more difficult because depth perception is thrown off by the spacious surroundings. That hasn't been the case tonight.
- Dave Skretta - http://twitter.com/@APdaveskretta
It's halftime at the national championship game and Michigan is 20 minutes away from only its second national championship.

Analysis of NOx Reaction Kinetics
Application ID: 10194
This suite of examples illustrate the modeling of selective NO reduction, that occurs as flue gases pass through the channels of a monolithic reactor in the exhaust system of a motored vehicle. The simulations are aimed at finding the optimal dosing of NH3, the reactant that serves as reducing agent in the process.
Three different analyses are performed:
Kinetic analysis: The example takes a closer look at the selective reduction in a single channel of the monolithic reactor. The reaction kinetics is analyzed with the Reaction Engineering interface using the Plug flow reactor type.
Detailed process modeling: The example utilizes the optimal dosing of NH3 as found in the above example as a starting point. This model is set up in 3D and can thereby reveal the full space-dependency of the problem with even better tuning of the dosing level.
Thermal stress modeling: The model studies thermal gradients in the monolith unit caused by heat released from the chemical reactions. The Structural Mechanics Module together with the 3d model above is used for this investigation.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with
quarterback Chad Henne on a two-year contract, according to multiple reports.
Henne started 13 games last season and played in 15 due to Blaine Gabbert's
consistent injury issues. The 28-year-old Henne completed 60.6 percent of his
passes for 3,241 yards with 13 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
The move could be an indicator that Gabbert's days in Jacksonville are
The Jaguars hold the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Teddy
Bridgewater, Blake Bortles and Johnny Manziel are some of the top quarterbacks
that could be on the board when Jacksonville picks.
If the Jags pick a quarterback in the draft, Henne would likely bridge the gap
for the new "franchise" quarterback.

The "war of words" between Serena Williams + Andy Roddick continued to gather steam in Melbourne today.
A concerned ReRe advanced to the quarterfinals in Melbourne when her opponent, Victoria Azarenka, retired from their match citing illness after looking wobbly and near-faint towards the end of their fourth rounder (kinda scary, actually.) The 3-time champ was down and set but up a break in the second when Vika called it quits; she'll face Svetlana Kuznetsova for a semifinal spot.
In her post-match presser, talk turned back to her defeat of A-Rod in '93:
Q. Obviously good early on beating Andy Roddick when he was 10 years old. Any hopes of a charity rematch?Damn - I'd kill to be a fly on the wall of ReRe's post-match pressers. Pure entertainment.
SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't think it's necessary to have a rematch. You know, I won. I was clearly the better player. I beat Roddick, you know. Andy Roddick, yeah (smiling). There's really no need to have a rematch. It's unimportant [sic] now.
Q. The score speaks for itself. What was the score?
SERENA WILLIAMS: 6‑1. The score absolutely speaks for itself. He always jokes, Rematch, rematch. But I don't even have time for a rematch (smiling).
Q. What was Andy like as a 10‑year‑old kid? Was he a brat or a good kid?
SERENA WILLIAMS: You know, he was a sweetheart. He was so sweet and he was so small. His older brother played really good tennis, John Roddick. He was always John Roddick's younger brother. I was kind of Venus' younger sister. I just remember he was a really sweet kid. You know, he could never really beat me (laughter).
Q. If you don't want to play Andy in a charity match, maybe a dump‑truck‑pressing contest?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Pardon?
Q. Did you hear about the dump‑truck‑pressing comment he made?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Andy's always exaggerating. I was so small for my age. He was small, too. But he just got jealous because my body was more fit and that my biceps are probably still bigger than his (laughter). Andy is incredibly jealous of me. You know, I just don't know why. I can't blame him really (smiling).
Q. His exact comment was that, at the time he had to run around in the shower to get wet while you were bench pressing dump trucks.
SERENA WILLIAMS: Again, I'll have to talk to him, because he clearly didn't have to run around. He wasn't that thin. Andy's a fit guy. Like I said, he was always trying to get muscles like mine, get more developed. I guess it still hasn't happened yet (laughter).
Q. Andy Roddick has been in the top 10 for seven straight years. I know you can appreciate that consistency. Can you talk about him as a competitor.
SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, he's clearly a great competitor. You know, Andy influenced me. I think a couple years ago he wasn't playing his best tennis. The guy never gave up. He was at every event, playing every tournament. He never lost confidence. That actually motivated me at that point to do well. I was able to win some tournaments after watching his spirit and competitiveness. I never told him that, but he definitely did influence me to do better and to work harder. So I think he's a great competitor. Too bad he can't beat some women players, but nonetheless he's pretty good (smiling).
But kudos to her for showing real concern and class where Vika was concerned.

WESTLAND, Mich. - A Westland mother and father have been charged in the death of their 3-month-old child.
Josh Wilson and his girlfriend Kelli Worth went before a judge Friday charged with murder and first degree child abuse. Police say baby Joshua died at the hands of his own parents and never had a chance.
"Shock. Disbelief. They wouldn't do this in a million years," said Sheliah Vansickle, the baby's aunt.
Family members said both parents are mentally ill. Vansickle said Child Protective Services has been involved with the family since the child's birth.
"They made sure they knew how to change the baby, care for the baby, feed the baby and they would come to the home to investigate once a month," said Vansickle.
However, neighbors in Westland tell a different story.
"I asked Josh if I could hold the baby. He tossed it to me," said neighbor Chelsea Reed. "And he throws that baby into the air."
Neighbor Stephanie Gibson says she was not surprised Wednesday evening when Worth ran to her door for help.
"She said, 'My baby isn't breathing.' I ran out with no shoes and me and my fiance started CPR," said Gibson.
Police say the infant had been severely beaten. He was taken to University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. He was bruised from head to toe with several broken bones. Investigators say Joshua died from blunt force trauma to his chest.
"His dad deserves to rot in prison. How can you kill a 3-month-old baby?" said Gibson.
Neighbors say they are planning a vigil for this weekend.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Suspects accused of brutally beating TC Maslin in August as he walked home on Capitol Hill from a Nationals game were arraigned on an indictment on Friday.
The District Attorney's Office says the prosecutor in the case is also looking into a superceding indictment to charge an additional suspect in the crime.
Seventeen-year-old Sunny Kuti, 21-year-old Tommy Branch and 18-year-old Michael Moore are accused of beating Maslin. Detectives say Branch and Moore admitted they participated. Branch allegedly hit Maslin with a baseball bat. Kuti allegedly hit him in the head with a "fake 'em out" BB gun.
Maslin laid in a park for hours with a severe brain injury, until he finally crawled across the street and someone found him. In October, we reported that Maslin had no feeling on the right side of his body, was unable to walk or feed himself. He was also unable to even remember his wife's name.
All parties in the case are expected back in court on Jan. 2 to discuss the scheduling of the case.

- Detail Images
Somewhere, there exists a quaint cabin in the woods; visible by a waft of chimney smoke from that morning's breakfast over the kitchen fireplace. Atop the nearest ridge, there rests a mountain goat, solemnly surveying its rocky domain. The sun is rising, clouds are interspersed in the sky, and the flowers are just reaching their season's bloom. The 'somewhere' of this setting is smack on the front of the Maloja ElviraM. Long-Sleeve Jersey. Offering more than just a pretty picture, the EliviraM. combines ready-to-wear function with anatomic fit, because life's too short to for boring color blocking, and rides are too long for uncomfortable jerseys.
Maloja's ElviraM. Long-Sleeve Jersey is made from the tried-and true Lycra Sanded fabric. This material uses a calculated blend of synthetic fibers to provide a conforming fit that's both breathable and comfortable. A true all-rounder, this fabric not only produces a light insulation layer, but offers an effective transfer of moisture from the skin to the quick-drying surface. Maloja gave the whole jersey an odor-fighting polygiene treatment; so you'll stay as fresh as the print after a long day in the saddle.
The jersey features a full-length, semi-autolock zipper that eliminates fussy pulls when you're grabbing for extra ventilation while climbing. Maloja also included a silicone gripper along the bottom hem to keep the jersey from rising when the rear storage pockets are loaded with your essentials.
The Maloja ElviraM. Long-Sleeve Jersey is available in sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and in the colors Blue Steel, Granat, Hazelnut, and Rose.

I like
- Fit: Runs small
Cutest design ever. I love the euro style of all the maloja stuff. Just a different sense of style than what we buy in North America. The jersey is comfortable, slim fitting. I'm 5'4", 130lb and a medium fits well with not a ton of room underneath (as in, this isn't a jacket, it's a long-sleeved jersey). As with other maloja stuff, it's expensive so I'm happy when I can get this stuff on sale.

Prozac Backlash: Overcoming the Dangers of Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Other Antidepressants with Safe, Effective Alternatives
by Joseph Glenmullen, M.D.Simon & Schuster, 2000. 320 pages. Hardcover: $25.00
Review by David Seaman, Donna Sorenson, and Kathleen Boylan, NAMI Literature Committee
This is yet another of the recent Prozac books alerting us to possible dangers of the wildly popular new antidepressants and urging alternative (particularly talk) therapies. The conclusions and recommendations of Dr. Glenmullen seem more sensible and restrained than usual, but his image of the wonder drugs is still rather unflattering.
The main problem, Glenmullen believes, is that possible long-term adverse effects of Prozac and its chemical cousins are not yet understood (they could not be, since the SSRIs have been around for only about ten years); nevertheless, millions of prescriptions are dispensed, often for children, by general-care physicians for frequently quite ordinary psychological problems. The author quite sensibly urges that use of powerful mind-altering drugs be limited to patients demonstrably suffering from moderate to severe mental illness.
The difficulty with this sensible approach is that Prozac really does seem to "work" for many who experience not only major depression and OCD, but also minor depression, anxiety, shyness, and the like, which is why it has become so popular. Although there are potential unpleasant side effects (sexual dysfunction, in particular), many users do not experience them, or they overcome or disregard them. HMOs love the pills, which are a lot cheaper than extended talk therapy. Glenmullen, a successful practicing psychotherapist himself, of course disapproves-as we all do-but this unsatisfactory and possibly threatening situation is not likely to change soon.

Christmas is approaching fast, the town has been lit up for a while now and many among us are shopping accordingly. One item in particular is hard to overlook while cycling through Amsterdam.
And have a good laugh about just riding off with it. Lumberjack-style.
Oh heck, and let's throw in a few from a year ago for good measure.
Time really does fly when you're having fun. Now let's look ahead and hope for the current cold spell to deliver on its promises…
Ps, Marjon, I think your latest addition would be the perfect xmas card.

Reasoned argument made against "occupy" forces
December 05, 2011
The Port of Oakland is making a public appeal to prevent a loose coalition of anarchists from shutting it down next week.
As reported here recently, "Occupy" groups have called for a "total west coast ports shutdown" on December 12th that would target Oakland – the fifth largest ocean cargo gateway in the U.S.
Here's the thrust of the port's appeal:
Port of Oakland maritime operations were partially shut down on November 2nd - what did that accomplish? Lost work hours, lost shifts, and lost wages for workers and their families. The impact was not just one day; it is lasting.
Shutting down the Port of Oakland is a bad idea. ?It will divert cargo, tax revenue, and jobs to other communities. It will hurt working people and harm our community.
That's why we call upon you: Join us to keep the Port open, keep people working, keep tackling our shared challenges, and keep creating jobs!
It means jobs: Together with our tenants and customers across aviation, maritime, and real estate, the Port of Oakland generates over 73,000 jobs in the region and is connected to more than 800,000 jobs across the country.?
It means tax revenue: Unlike most public agencies, the Port does NOT receive local tax dollars to fund its operations. Rather the Port and its business and labor partners together generate a combined $462.7 million in state and local taxes.
While we applaud the preemptive nature of this tactic, shippers may have already been making plans to divert cargo to less vulnerable ports.

North St. Louis (KSDK) - Two suspects wanted in connection to a rape and robbery on Wednesday night are in custody after leading police on a brief chase. Police apprehended the pair shortly after 10:30 pm Friday after they slammed into another vehicle at the intersection of Natural Bridge Ave and Goodfellow Blvd.
The two 21-year-old males were seen by police driving a stolen 2012 VW Passat at Union Blvd and St. Louis Ave. Police attempted to stop the vehicle but the suspects sped away, wrecked and then fled on foot. They were captured shortly thereafter.
Investigators believe the pair was involved in a home invasion and rape that happened at the 3000 block of Chippewa St on Thursday night. Victims stated the suspects forced entry into their home and forced them to the ground at gunpoint. The suspects then took a television, laptop, printer, cash and three cell phones. During the incident, an 18-year old female was raped.
Three other male passengers, ranging in age from 21 to 23 remained in the vehicle and surrendered to officers without incident. A firearm and narcotics were found in the vehicle.

Several people can easily share a single computer by creating separate user accounts. This demo helps you understand the different types of user accounts and how they affect what you can do on the computer. You'll also learn how to change your account's password and other settings, and how to set up new accounts for others who use your computer.
With Windows Vista, it's easy for several people to share a single computer.
Each person can have a separate user account with customized settings and preferences. For example, each user can choose a unique desktop background and color theme.
The type of user account you have determines your privileges on the computer. There are two main types of accounts. An administrator account is created when Windows is installed. It gives you full access to the computer. Here, notice how the administrator can access both her own files and those of other users.
A standard user account lets you perform common tasks and work with your own files. But you can't see other users' files or change their settings.
Now let's log on to an account. The Welcome Screen appears when you start Windows, and it shows all of the accounts on the computer. Your password is the key to your account.
Once you're logged on, the Start menu displays your account name and picture. To manage your account settings, you got to Control Panel, click User Accounts and Family Safety, and then click User Accounts. Here, you can see that we're currently using a standard account.
And here's where you can change your account settings, such as your password or picture. Let's change the picture.
Notice that these tasks are marked with a shield. That means they require administrator privileges. For example, when we click Manage another account, we're asked to provide the password for an administrator account. Let's do that now.
From here, we can change any user's account settings or add new accounts to the computer. Let's create a new account now. You type a name for the account, and then choose the account type. Most people should use a standard account. After you create the account, don't forget to set a password. That prevents others from accessing the user's files.
When another user wants to use the computer, you'll need to switch to a different account. To switch accounts, you click here on the Start menu, and then click Switch User. If you don't see this option, click Log Off instead.
Back on the Welcome screen, you can choose a different account. Here you can see the account we just created.
Now you know the basics of working with user accounts.

may be public/private in 50/501, it's a maybe so far.
also possibly units 8 or 191 near red feather lakes? this would be public only.
I haven't been able to find much about them.
It says elk isn't OTC which makes me wonder how many are even there? if any?
Mule deer would be the focus however, but curious what the trophy potential is, or what's common?
What's this region like, the terrain? I suppose it varies?
Thanks in advance!

Johnny's Exclusive
Honey White(F1) Melon Seed
Product ID: 3879
Early and cool weather tolerant.
Smooth, round to oval-round fruits are very sweet, flavorful, and slow to crack even in cool, cloudy weather. The 3-3 1/2 lb. melons hold well on the vine or after being harvested. Avg. 18,900 seeds/lb. Packet: 30 seeds.
Quick Facts
Latin Name: Cucumis melo
Days to Maturity or Bloom: 77
Plant Cycle: (A)
Shipping Information & Notes
Additional Information:
Melon Production | Instruction Sheet
Melon Varieties (Cucumis melo) | Comparison Chart
Growing Information
CULTURE: A light, well drained soil with a pH of 7.0 and a southern exposure is ideal. Good soil moisture is important in early stages of growth and during pollination when fruits are setting. After this point do not water unless the soil is very dry and leaves begin to show signs of wilting in midday.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow indoors in 50 cell plug trays or 2-3" peat pots in late April or one month (no sooner!) before transplanting outdoors. Plant 3 seeds per cell or pot, about 1/4" deep. Keep temperature 80-90°F (27-32°C) until germination. Handle young plants carefully and never let the soil dry out. Grow seedlings at 75°F (24°C). Reduce water and temperature for a week to harden seedlings. When the weather is frost-free, warm, and settled, transplant 2-3' apart in rows 6' apart or thin to 1 plant/pot or cell with scissors and transplant 18" apart. Even hardened melon seedlings are tender! Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow 1-2 weeks after last frost when soil is warm, above 70°F (21°C), 3 seeds every 18", 1/2" deep, thinning to 1 plant/spot.
ROW COVERS: Since melons like consistently warm conditions, plastic mulch and row covers (refer to Index) will make for earlier crops and better yields, especially in the North. Remove covers when plants have female flowers (tiny fruit at base of blossom).
DISEASES: Choose varieties resistant to diseases in your area. "Sudden wilt" is a complex disease and cold weather stress syndrome in late summer when plants have a heavy set of ripening melons, can cause plants to wilt almost overnight. Keep plants healthy with good fertility and irrigation to avoid sudden wilt.
INSECT PESTS: Protect against cucumber beetles with floating row covers applied at transplanting, or control with pyrethrin or azadarachtin. (See index)
RIPENESS: Each variety is a little different and must be learned! Most melon varieties are ready when the gray-green color begins to change to buff-yellow and when a light tug separates the fruit from the vine. Some melon types, like honeydew, charentais, canary, Spanish, and crenshaw are overripe by the time the stem can be tugged from the fruit. These must be cut from the vine.
STORAGE: All melons should be stored at 85-95% relative humidity. Store ripe netted melons at 36-41°F (2-5°C); store other melons at 45-50°F (7-10°C) for 7-14 days.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add about 10 days if direct-seeded.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 30 seeds sows 10', 100 seeds /50' 1M/500', 15M/acre at 3 seeds every 18" in rows 6' apart.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 16,000-20,000 (avg. 18,000).
PACKET: 30 seeds unless otherwise indicated.

Since I live in TN I obviously wont be able to scout it out ahead of time and I have spent my fare share of time on google earth. Looks like Weminuche could be promising, but I just dont know not having laid eyes on it. I plan on hiking in deep and staying for 8 days. Also, wanted to hear from any CO residents near the Durango area and see how the winter was. I know they had a really bad winter back in 07ish and just curious how this past winter was. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Texas Spring Race Report - Mears, GEICO Ford
Posted by lori in Untagged
GEICO team has completed every race of the 2013 season; Mears just three points out of 20th in point standings
Fort Worth, TX (April 13, 2013) – Casey Mears and the GEICO Racing team stormed into the Lone Star State looking to continue the growth of their NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program. The team has captured the attention of fans and media members alike with their persistence, resilience and passion. They've consistently outpaced some of NASCAR's best and brightest and Texas offered Mears and company the opportunity to continue their trek through the 2013 NASCAR season.
The week began with a one-day test in which Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion sat eighth on the speed chart at the close of Thursday's test session. He quickly picked up where he left off when he hit the track for the weekend's opening practice session on Friday, landing 10th on the board when it came to a close. The only challenge Germain Racing faced on Friday was the qualifying draw, where numbers drawn from a hat dictate the qualifying order. Mears drew 17th, which would send him out amidst the balance of the hot Texas sunshine when qualifying got underway on Friday at 5:40 PM local time. Nose-to-nose with a slick racetrack, Mears and his #13 GEICO Fusion navigated the 1.5-mile superspeedway in just 28.038 seconds at a rate of speed of 192.596 miles per hour, placing him 24th on Saturday night's starting grid.
The race started in the bright sunshine on Saturday evening, but ultimately ended under the cover of darkness. Somewhere between that transition, Mears and his GEICO team gave fight to the toughest day of racing they've had this season. Starting 24th, Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion quickly dropped through the field, bottoming out in the 34th position on lap eight. The Bakersfield, CA, native immediately fell victim to an ill-handling racecar as he circled around the bumpy racing surface of Texas Motor Speedway. By lap 16, Mears was alerting his crew, "I cannot get into the corner at all." The event's first caution flag of the evening waved on lap 38 for debris on the frontstretch, allowing Mears the opportunity to bring his #13 GEICO Fusion down pit road for service. The Germain crew quickly provided Mears with four fresh tires, a full tank of fuel and adjustments.
The adjustments were of no avail and Mears would do battle against an angry racecar for the balance of the evening. On lap 107, he was heard over the team's radio frequency saying, "It's driving like I have a flat tire. Something's bad wrong here, it feels like something's broken." Despite the handling issues, crew chief Bootie Barker was successfully executing a strategy to get Mears back on the lead lap before the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion was forced to visit pit road under green with just 55 laps to go. The evening became further complicated when Jeff Burton and Marcos Ambrose brought out the caution flag just one lap later, sending Mears down two laps with little time to make it up.
The Germain Racing crew worked feverishly throughout the evening while Mears continued pedaling the #13 GEICO Fusion hard around the racetrack; neither willing to concede regardless of obstacles faced over the course of 500-miles of racing. When the checkered flag was displayed, the team was recorded as finishing 31st. More importantly, through seven races, Mears and his GEICO team have never failed to see a checkered flag, completing every race of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, a stat not enjoyed by some of NASCAR's top teams. Texas would serve as the team's first tough race of the season, marking the strength of the team and the significant progress made from just a year ago. Although the 31st place finish was frustrating, it leaves Mears just three points out of the Top 20 in the Driver Point standings.
"It was a tough night for sure, but we all kept working hard trying to get our #13 GEICO Fusion where it needed it to be and even though we had a hard time we stayed focused," Mears said. "This is really the first bad race we've had, so it's important we put it behind us quickly. We're already focused on Kansas." He then lightly joked, "In racing, you're going to have very good days and very bad days, so I'm glad we now have the bad behind us."
The Germain Racing team will next journey to the Sunflower State for race number eight of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Kansas Speedway for the opening practice session on Friday, April 19th, at 1:00 PM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 4:40 PM (EDT).
The STP 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, April 21st, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

I did the same as NDHunter suggested and purchased the Nikon Prostaff this week from Cabelas since they put it on sale. I am now looking for a tripod for the scope, and I like the idea of the Bog Pod since I need shooting sticks for varmint/predator hunting as well. Has anyone used this tripod for a spotting scope specifically? I wonder about the adjustment capability since the base conversion kit does not have any kind of handle - you have to grab the scope itself. Is this a smooth operation? Also, does anyone have any thoughts about the new conversion kit that has a pistol grip?
As a side note, I've considered the Primos Trigger Stick tripod since they say it can convert for use with optics. However, it does not seem to be as versatile in terms of varying leg height and the max height is only 61". The Bog Pod goes up to 68", which I think could make a huge difference when glassing.

Primary Election Results
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County election can be summed up by saying the Incumbants Win. In each of the Republican primary contested race, it was the incumbant candidate that was able to protect their position. Although, District Two between Mark Loutsch and Wayne Schipper the difference was only 49 votes. Loutsch was able to carry the rural areas while Schipper, perhaps not surprisingly carried Le Mars. Another close race was in District 5 where Jim Henrich narrowly defeated challenger Dan Smith. Henrich had 1117 votes while Smith had 951. In District 3, Don Kass was able to win easily by defeating challenger Merlin Wagner by a margin of 1138 votes. The sheriff's race between incumbant Mike Van Otterloo and Jay King was also a runaway. Van Otterloo defeated King by a 6 to 1 margin.
A total of 2205 votes were cast which is more than double the votes from the last election in 2008, when 1084 people went to the polls. Again, the results of the Plymouth County Republican Primary had each of the incumbant candidates win.
Van Otterloo* 1844
J. King 314
District #2
Loutsch * 1069
Schipper 1020

Kass * 1580

In response to RockScully's comment:
Maybe if Kaepernick wasn't so awful for most of the game, they would have won? Also, the last 2 plays of the game, you have to wonder if Alex Smith would look that inept. lol
The worst 2 plays I've seen run at the 5 yard line in a while.
Imagine if the Pats D allowed 30 points in a SB in this era? BB would be strung up. Ray Lewis and his D does it, and people call them elite/great.
SF's D was also abysmal.
Dude just admit you were wrong about Kaepernick. Pretty much every throw he made were ones that Smith couldn't have dreamed of making.

For Women's Swim, 50-Breaststroke Record Basham's To Keep
After tying a 17-year-old school record in the 50-yard breaststroke in her very first collegiate meet, freshman Arolyn Basham has continued to practice hard for the Pasadena City College women's swim team. Basham found a challenge Friday in Long Beach City College swimmer Jackie Rojas and the pair's duel pushed Basham to the record outright at 32.78 seconds set during the Lancers-hosted double dual meet.
PCC split the South Coast Conference meet defeating Rio Hondo, 93-35, and falling to Long Beach, 137.5-74.5.
Basham snapped the record she tied in the season's opening week and was originally set by Mary Morgan in 1996 (32.84) by .06 of a second. She needed to approach that record in order to beat LBCC's Rojas (32.91) to the wall.
From La Salle High, Basham scored another event win in the 100 individual medley on a 1:05.64 mark. She was second to Rojas in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.99).
Lancer Shannon Cheung also had a big afternoon, finishing in a dead heat with Long Beach's Christine Maclennan as they shared first place in the 50 freestyle with identical 25.29 times. Cheung was also victorious in the 50 backstroke at 29.66 (she set the school record in that event a week ago at 28.89). An American student from South Pasadena who attended high school in China, Cheung made it three event wins by edging Maclennan in the 100 freestyle, 54.96 to 55.46.
Sophomore Paige Watroba won the 100 butterfly (1:04.76), took a close second in the 50 butterfly (29.76, beaten by LBCC's Mackenzie Woolvett's 29.33), and placed second in the 200 freestyle (2:09.65).
Diver Gwen McKinley was all by herself in the 1&3 meter board competition and her 120.35 points resulted in an event victory.
PCC head coach Terry Stoddard reported that his top swimmer Emily Frederick, an honorable mention for the CCCSIA State Athlete of the Month for February, will be out of action for possibly three weeks due to a back injury. Frederick is a part of breaking eight school records in a spectacular freshman season.

As a system designer, content creator, or equipment manufacturer, you may have questions on how to eliminate the ambiguity of Dolby E alignment measurements with reference to various video formats. Our recommended approach will ensure error-free editing and switching of Dolby E signals.
Dolby® E streams include audio and metadata encoded into blocks of SMPTE 337M data (initially placed on a discrete AES/EBU carrier or subsequently embedded into SDI).
Dolby E outputs these data blocks at a rate associated with a chosen video frame rate, as the Dolby E bitstream is normally carried along with video.
To allow error-free, cut-style editing and video switching, a small section of null data (or silent samples) exists around the video switch point (also referred to as the "guard band").
This guard-band location allows a Dolby E bitstream to be delayed, up to a point, as a safeguard against frame errors that may occur in a bitstream upon switching or editing.
The measurement of where the guard band ends and the SMPTE 337M Dolby E data burst starts is often called the "line position." This relates to a specific video line to which the start of the Dolby E data burst is aligned.
You can most easily determine the best placement of the Dolby E line position when the video signal must adhere to only a limited number of video standards—for example, only standard-definition (SD) video.
Placement becomes more complicated when multiple formats come into play, or when cross-conversion takes place. For example, if a video was originally SD and was then upscaled to high definition (HD), the line position measurement of Dolby E against the SD video format would not correctly reflect the Dolby E alignment against the HD video format.
In such cases, the preferred method for determining the correct alignment of Dolby E is to measure the time elapsed from the SMPTE RP168 reference point (the point in time indicating the start of the video frame).
Per the SMPTE standard, this reference point is further defined as the point in time where line 1 for 720p 59.94, line 1 for 1080i 59.94, and line 4 for 480 29.97 fps (525 NTSC 29.97 fps) signals align, as well as the point in time where line 1 for 720p 50, line 1 for 1080i 50, and line 1 for 576 25 fps (625 PAL 25 fps) signals align.
In general terms, Dolby E content is in a safe position if the start of the SMPTE 337M data burst occurs after the switch point and the end of the SMPTE 337M data burst occurs before the start of the next video frame.
The following charts provide the recommended alignment locations for Dolby E frames with respect to SD video lines, HD video lines, and the RP168 reference point, as would normally be presented from a Dolby E encoder.This is indicated by the "ideal" positions. The closer to this alignment a signal is, the more likely it will continue to be error-free upon switches downstream.
Dolby E Recommended Line Position Table—NTSC/PALDolby E Line Position Diagram—NTSC/PAL
Dolby E Line Position Table—all rates
An allowable skew takes production and headend functions like embedding into account. For example, embedding can add a few lines of delay to the audio samples, thus skewing the Dolby E position. The limits of this allowable skew are indicated by the "potentially earliest" and "potentially latest" positions, beyond which the Dolby E bitstream will likely be corrupt upon switching or editing. It is possible to embed/de-embed several times and still remain safe, before an ideally positioned Dolby E signal reaches the potentially latest position.
The Dolby Bitstream Analyzer DM100 v 220.127.116.11 displays 23.98, 24, and 30 fps Dolby E line positions with a 5 percent margin of error.
Dolby E enables broadcasting and postproduction facilities to carry up to eight channels of sound over their existing stereo (two-channel) infrastructures.

Fri May 21 11:08:11 EDT 2010, New York, NY, USA
I've had no time to blog lately, because the sailing just got that busy. Also the Iridium satellite phone network apparently did a switch upgrade which had problems, so my email-at-sea connection has been and still is down.
After a short gale on the New Jersey coast, which kept me busy dodging fishing boats and wet from the many waves dumping aboard (the water is shallow, so the waves get high), the wind died out and I motored 40 miles to Gravesend Bay. There I anchored and slept for a few hours. The following day (yesterday), as the flood current started, a light wind came up and I sailed off the anchor in very pleasant conditions. The wind wasn't strong enough to take me all the way, so I motorsailed through the bay, and then sailed up the river, and anchored at 79 Street Boat Basin (they do not have moorings big enough for Issuma).
This morning I went through the US Customs & Border Protection entrance procedure at the Passenger Ship Terminal in Manhattan (it was too late to go there yesterday when I arrived), where the officers were very pleasant and helpful.
It's great to be back in New York, and it would be very nice to stay longer. My intentions are to buy a bunch of boat stuff here, make some repairs, take crew aboard and sail for Nova Scotia.
How long will you be in port? Would love to stop by and say hello!
And whaddya know...! So, Welcome back Richard! Glad to know you're able to come up through Brazil coast line.
I heard thru the grapevine you were in town and it looks as if I may have missed you. Went by the boat basin Sunday to see Issuma. Are you close by or on your way North? Either way I wish you fair winds.
I am in New York for a few more days, working on the boat. Issuma is anchored north of 79th Street Boat Basin (they don't have a big enough mooring for her), around 98th Street.
Tue May 11 12:01:00 EDT 2010, Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil
The Jangada is steered with the oar in a kind-of-slot seen on the back of the boat. There is one of these slots on each side at the back of the boat, so tacking the boat involves moving the steering oar from one side to the other. The steering oar can be used standing up on the deck, or sitting on the blue steering seat.
The almost vertical blue poles are not part of the steering system (more on them later).
Ahead of the owner can be seen the blue fishing seat, with anchor ropes coiled on it. The fish box is below the fishing seat, the bait box (not shown) is ahead of the fishing seat.
Mon May 10 12:01:00 EDT 2010, Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil
The mast is the unpainted vertical pole. The owner is holding the boom. The bottom of the mast is put into one of several holes (being pointed to) depending on wind strength and which side of the boat the wind is coming over. Since the sail can't really be reefed (made smaller), changing the mast rake (angle) is done to compensate somewhat for stronger winds.
The tack (lower front corner) of the sail is tied to one of the vertical blue poles that are part of the mast step.
Just behind the mast is the daggerboard trunk (the slot in the white wood).
Sun May 9 14:02:00 EDT 2010, Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil
Jangada used for fishing, see below.
Sun May 9 10:01:00 EDT 2010, Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil
This jangada is made of plywood (I understand they were originally made as log rafts), and is used for fishing. Hopefully the labels on the picture are readable. The blue chair aft of the Bait Box is where you sit when fishing. Under the blue fishing chair is a box where fish are stored. The blue bench at the stern (back) of the boat is where the jangada is steered from.
Sat May 8 13:01:00 EDT 2010, Cabedelo, Paraiba, Brazil
Jangadas are traditional wooden sailboats still in use today, along the Northeast (and possibly Northwest--I didn't go there to see) coast of Brazil. This one is in the harbor of Cabedelo. Many jangadas are used to go fishing at sea.
Sails (and most parts of the boats) are generally made from whatever is available.

George and Hank, many thanks for the information on the Gulf Stream position.
For anyone else who is interested, here is the info:
(1) http://www.bermudarace.com/LogisticsResources/GulfStreamTutorials/tabid/204/Default.aspx [email protected] Frank Bohlen is a Professor of Oceanography in the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Connecticut. For the past forty years he has been studying ocean and nearshore currents and transport. He won the Mixter Trophy as navigator of the winning yacht in the 1986 Newport Bermuda Race.
(2) http://users.erols.com/gulfstrm/ [email protected] Professional Satellite Oceanographer Jenifer Clark and professional Meteorologist Dane Clark, both with over 30 years supporting the marine community, invite mariners to take advantage of their real-time ocean charts and weather forecasts for sailboat racing, boat deliveries, ocean cruising, and offshore fishing. Using infrared imagery, satellite altimetry data, and surface isotherm data, oceanographic analyses are produced and available for the Gulf Stream area and all the major currents of the world. Waypoints are also provided for taking advantage of favorable currents and for avoiding unfavorable ones.
(3) David Burch and Luis Solterto and Lee Chesneau would be people to ask and they are all associated with Starpath. There are also several other's that are part of Marine Wx education at StarPath www.starpath.com [email protected]
(4) Herb Hilgenberg http://www3.sympatico.ca/hehilgen/vax498.htm [email protected] Would be worth listening to see if he might be talking to vessels transiting a similar route to yours.
South Bound II, Herb, provides a daily ship-routing/weather forecasting service, as a hobby, on marine HF/SSB frequency 12359.0, starting at 2000 UTC until 2200 UTC or until completion of traffic. 8294.0 and 16531.0 are used as alternate frequencies as announced from time to time, subject to propagation Vessels are welcome to check in between 1940 and 2000 UTC, and should then stand by, until contacted again once their area gets covered. New check-ins should provide a short description of their location on checking in for the first time. At 2000 UTC, Herb will acknowledge all readable check-ins. Once on the South Bound II log, stations are encouraged to check in and stay in contact daily, until completion of passage. As part of the service each vessel is requested to provide current latitude and longitude to the nearest minute, when called back; also to provide true wind speed and wind direction, the barometric pressure, sea state and other pertinent data, such as sky conditions/squalls. Each vessel will receive daily, an extended four to five day route forecast, including way points, if necessary, to assist in avoiding potentially unfavorable conditions. Individual vessel forecasts are prepared in advance of air time, utilizing and editing numerical forecast models and other available data and products. Forecasts are provided as value added information, not as a copy or duplication of otherwise available or published offshore/high seas forecasts.
Fair winds, George Ray
Navy stuff is not as available as once was BUT the NOAA Ocean Prediction Center does provide a USN GS graphic at: https://oceanography.navy.mil/legacy/web/cgi-bin/graphic.pl/metoc/223/19/0-0-5/1
The graphic includes north and south wall locations as well as warm/cold eddy locations and sst.
In general,in my opinion the best ocean info on weather, currents, SSTs, high seas, etc are on the OPC site: see: http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/newNCOM/NCOM_SST.shtml
Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Hank

If anyone knows a source of information about where the Gulf Stream is now (the center and width vary), or where it is forecast to be, please post a comment (blog comments are forwarded to me at sea now) or email me via the blog (my normal email address does not get to me at sea).
I thought this information was part of the (USA) National Weather Service High Seas Forecast, but I don't see it there now. Possibly Herb Hilgenberg mentions it on his broadcasts (12353kHz at 2000 UTC, I think), but I haven't been able to pick those up yet.
I am looking for something that preferably describes in words (ie, lat/lon) the current position of the Gulf Stream, or, if nothing else, a small (50kB or less) picture showing it.
