If I can't pump during my full-time work hours, what should I do?
If work or life circumstances prevent you from pumping at work, and you'll be away from your baby long enough for your breasts to feel uncomfortably full (which can happen if this stretch of time is longer than your baby's longest sleep period), you can still breastfeed during the hours you and your baby are together.
To help you to stay comfortable and prevent infection after you return to work, one option is what's called a "partial weaning". A partial weaning allows you to slow your milk production gradually without pain or breast fullness. But rather than weaning completely, you only wean at some feedings. This brings down your milk production enough so you can be comfortable for longer stretches without breastfeeding or pumping and still produce enough milk for your baby while you're at home.
To do a partial weaning, start about a week or so before returning to work. Observe your usual breastfeeding times and then choose a feeding time during your normal work hours and use another method to feed your baby. Avoid the first morning feeding, when your breasts are likely to be at their fullest. If your baby is younger than a year, talk with your baby's healthcare provider about what to feed at the missed breast feedings. If your baby is older than a year, cow's milk or solid foods can be used.
Continue to give the recommended substitute at this same feeding every day. Each time you drop one breastfeeding, give your body at least 2-3 days before dropping another. If at any time your breasts feel overly full, express just enough milk to feel comfortable. This means pumping just to comfort and no longer. When your breasts feel fine without breastfeeding or pumping for the length of time you will need to go between feedings or pumpings at work, you are ready. You can keep breastfeeding at this level for as long as you wish.

In the early 1980s Alberto Salazar dominated the U.S. distance running scene. He won the New York City Marathon three years in a row and the Boston Marathon once. He also held American records on the track in both the 5,000 and 10,000m.
Now Salazar is one of the most successful coaches in the sport as head of the Nike Oregon Project. He has coached double Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah, silver medalist Galen Rupp, Kara Goucher, Alan Webb and Dathan Ritzenhein.
He has learned throughout his career, first as an athlete and then as a coach, that nothing can sideline a career faster than an injury, which is part of the reason he's become one of the most knowledgeable people in the sport when it comes to cutting edge injury treatment. His latest endeavor involves laser treatments that help runners get back on their feet much more quickly than ever before.
Running Examiner: First, could you tell me a little bit about the MR4 LaserStim™/LaserShower™ and the MR4 ACTIV™ cordless laser, and how you're using them with your athletes?
Alberto Salazar: We are using the units at the first sign of an injury to limit an exaggerated inflammatory response that actually delays healing and return to training. There is a certain protocol that Multi Radiance Medical is teaching us that results in faster healing and less time off.
Running Examiner: You seem to always be on the cutting-edge when it comes to injury treatment with this system and the cryotherapy I read about you using with Dathan Ritzenhein a few years ago. How far have we come since you were competing in terms of injury treatment/therapy?
Alberto Salazar: Sports medicine in general is changing rapidly as new treatments and research are being pursued. We believe in being on the cutting-edge of such innovations because it could take years for it to be accepted by the entire medical or sports community.
Running Examiner: Do you think these types of treatments would have made a huge difference for you when you were still competing?
Alberto Salazar: Yes. I believe that these treatments would have allowed me to train through injuries with a lot less damage than I ended up causing to myself.
Running Examiner: You have had a fantastic couple of years with your athletes, including Mo and Galen's performances at the 2012 Olympics. Have your coaching techniques changed a lot since you first started coaching? I would imagine it's something that's constantly evolving.
Alberto Salazar: I believe that the instant you stop trying to get better at anything in life there is a great chance that you will actually get worse and that others will surpass you if you are in a competitive environment, which sports definitely is. Besides coaching and training improvement, preserving the athlete's health is equally important.
Running Examiner: I know that a big part of success is keeping your athletes healthy and injury-free. How have your approaches to these issues changed over the years?
Alberto Salazar: The approach has changed from injury treatment to injury prevention and stopping an injury from becoming worse by treating it immediately with new innovations like the Multi Radiance Medical lasers.
Running Examiner: Is it difficult to figure out what an athlete's "breaking point" is in terms of how much mileage they can handle before it becomes over-training? Is it a fine line?
Alberto Salazar: The breaking point for each athlete is different, and it can take a couple of years for a coach and athlete to really figure it out because there are a lot of different variables, including sports medicine, that determine that breaking point.
Running Examiner: What tips can you give recreational runners about both avoiding injury and treating them once they happen?
Alberto Salazar: The sooner you can interrupt the injury process and start therapy, the faster the recovery will be. Running that one extra 400 meter interval that the athlete shouldn't have can result in several more weeks of downtime.

March 07–STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Rick Santorum held his standing in the Republican presidential campaign on Super Tuesday by sticking close enough to Mitt Romney to a dead heat in the important Ohio primary.
Ohio officials said the two were in a deadlock with 37 percent of the vote each with 85 percent counted.
In other Tuesday battling, the two hopefuls were close, four states to three states. Romney captured Massachusetts, Vermont, Idaho and Virginia. Santorum picked up Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota. Newt Gingrich won big in his home state of Georgia. Results were not available from Alaska. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas hoped to secure his first wins of the race in the caucus states.
Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, surrounded himself with family and friends in Steubenville to await results from Ohio, considered the bellwether state of the day. Just a week ago, he led Romney by double digits in most polling in the Buckeye State.
"This was a big night tonight. We are going to win a few and lose a few. We are going for a couple of gold medals and a whole bunch of silver ones," Santorum said to the crowd at the Steubenville High School gym in the downtown area of the Ohio Valley city, where a scattering of Terrible Towels waved in support.
"This is our roots this is where we are from, where the folks who worked hard and built this country lived for many, many decades," Santorum said.
"This campaign is about the towns left behind and those are the towns that made this country great," said Santorum who was surrounded by his wife, mother, children and long time Western Pennsylvania supporters.
He said his campaign has won in the west, Midwest and the South, "and we are ready to win across this country. "
Santorum promised his campaign would continue even though he lacks the money and organization to match Romney's.
Romney spent the day in his home state of Massachusetts
"Tonight we've taken one more step toward restoring the promise of America. Tomorrow we wake up and we start again. And the next day we do the same. And so it will go, day by day, step by step, door to door, heart to heart," Romney said at the Copley Place in downtown Boston.
Romney stuck to the effective positive message where he used to battle back from behind to win over voters in Michigan and Ohio.
"I have said before — and I firmly believe — that this campaign is about saving the soul of America. And it is driven by the unshakable optimism that lies within our American hearts," he said to the packed ballroom.
"We know that our future is brighter and better than these troubled times. We have been knocked down. We have been tested. But we don't accept an America of limits. We know America is a land of opportunity. We still get up each day and thank God that we're Americans. And we know that with hard work and strong leadership, our greatest days are ahead," Romney said.
Romney showed the party that he has become a disciplined candidate who can stay on message, said Mark Rozell, a political science professor at George Mason University.
"He seems to be simply connecting better with GOP voters who had been skeptical of him," Rozell said, noting Romney's setbacks with self-described "very conservative" voters in early contests in Iowa and South Carolina.
Rozell said Romney appears to control the Republican primary process now.
"He has the momentum and the funding," he said. "His GOP opponents will soon be running on fumes. "
The candidates divided a total of 419 delegates from Super Tuesday states. Kansas holds its caucus on Saturday; Alabama and Mississippi hold primaries on March 13. Pennsylvania's is April 24.
Bruce Haynes, a Republican strategist based in Washington, expects Santorum and Gingrich to exit the race gracefully and expediently, so that the party can unite behind a candidate and concentrate on beating President Obama.
"To use Rick Santorum's own words, sometimes you have to be a team player," said Haynes, the managing partner of Purple Strategies in Washington.
Paul will stay in the race because he is not tethered to the conventions of politics, Haynes said: "He sees himself as leading a cause and he will soldier on for the cause regardless of his ability to be viable and win. "
Romney has won states across the nation, including so-called purple states — Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada — "that swing between parties and decide presidential elections," Haynes said.
Experts agree the former Massachusetts governor's best strategy is to begin acting like a nominee, by focusing on the November general election and spending less time and money trying to counter Santorum and Gingrich.
Romney should play to his strengths, said Rozell: "Get past the negatives that have dominated the intra-party contest and get back to the image of the solid, sensible bottom-line business guy who knows how to run things. "
Yenerall said Romney's next challenge is to win over conservative Democrats who supported him in open GOP primaries and will swing the fall election.
"He needs to speak about the economy in accessible, bread-and-butter, lunch pail language and symbolism that working- and middle-class voters understand, touching upon the everyday anxieties that stem from housing, education, health care, the cost of gasoline, etcetera," Yenerall said.

TC TO ROBERT BROWNING ; 8 March 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520308-TC-RB-01; CL 27: 64-67
Chelsea, 8 March, 1852—
Dear Browning,
Above a fortnight ago I received your Letter, and the little Shelley Book along with;1 a most pleasant pair of objects, to which, having read the Book too the very night it arrived, I meant to answer on the morrow. Thanks were heartily ready, and a clear enough opinion which has not altered since: but, by some chance or other, the morrow came to be preoccupied, and then the next morrow and the next,—and the answer up to this moment you perceive, has never got out of the future tense. Such are the whirlings, cross-currents and regurgitations of this mad Gulf-Stream of an element: one's time, unless one fight for every minute of it, all goes devoured and annihilated here; to get any work at all out of one's life here, I often say, one has to snatch it like furniture from a house on fire;—and the soul of man is not always equal to feats of that kind! Alas, alas, the mud-gods are indeed very strong, in most places at present, and in this place I should say beyond most!—
I liked the Essay extremely well indeed: a solid, well-wrought massive manful bit of discourse; and interesting to me, over and above, as the first bit of prose I had ever seen from you;—I hope only the first of very many. You do not know how cheering to me the authentic sound of a human voice is! I get so little except ape-voices; the whole universe filled with one wide tempestuous cackle, which has neither depth nor sense, nor any kind of truth or nobleness in it: O Heaven, one feels as if it were too bad; as if the temptation were, to burst into tears, and sit down and weep till one died! I cannot now, in late years, laugh at such a phenomenon; oftenest it makes me inexpressibly sad,—as is very natural if one look at the whence and the inevitable whitherward;—wherefore in general I rather try to get out of it altogether, quite away from the beggarly sound of it; and to sit solitary, in company rather with the dumb Chaos than with the talking one. This Essay of yours, and another little word by Emerson are the only new things I have read with real pleasure for a great while past. I agree with what you say of Shelley's moralities and spiritual position; I honour and respect the weighty estimate you have formed of the Poetic Art; and I admire very much the grave expressiveness of Style (a little too elaborate here and there), and the dignified tone, in which you manage to deliver yourself on all that.2
The Letters themselves are very innocent and clear; and deserve printing, with such a name attached to them;3 but it is not they that I care for on the present occasion. In fact I am not sure but you would excommunicate me,—at least lay me under the "lesser sentence," for a time,—if I told you all I thought of Shelley! Poor soul, he has always seemed to me an extremely weak creature, and lamentable much more than admirable. Weak in genius, weak in character (for these two always go together); a poor thin, spasmodic, hectic, shrill and pallid being;—one of those unfortunates, of whom I often speak, to whom the "talent of silence," first of all, has been denied. The speech of such is never good for much. Poor Shelley, there is something void and Hades-like in the whole inner world of him; his universe is all vacant azure, hung with a few frosty mournful if beautiful stars; the very voice of him (his style &c), shrill, shrieky, to my ear has too much of the ghost!4— In a word, it is not with Shelley, but with Shelley's Commentator that I take up my quarters at all: and to this latter I will say with emphasis, Give us some more of your writing, my friend; we decidedly need a man or two like you, if we could get them! Seriously, dear Browning, you must at last gird up your loins5 again; and give us a right stroke of work:—I do not wish to hurry you; far the contrary: but I remind you of what is expected; and say with what joy I for one will see it arrive.— Nor do I restrict you to Prose, in spite of all I have said and still say: Prose or Poetry, either of them you can master; and we will wait for you with welcome in whatever form your own Daimon bids. Only see that he does bid it; and then go with your best speed;—and on the whole forgive, at any rate, these importunities, which I feel to partake much of the nature of impertinence, if you did not kindly interpret them.
About the time your Letter came, or shortly before it, I had given a Card of introduction to a certain M. Montégut of the Revue des Deux Mondes;6 which document I left him free to present or suppress, and know not which he has done. If he have done the former, pray understand that I do not know him in the flesh at all; that I only know him as a Writer on English things in that Révue;7 writer, in particular, of an Essay on myself some 2 or 3 years ago, which seemed to argue a very ingenuous and rather able and amiable man. If on sight you don't like him,—act accordingly without respect of me; who indeed am not cognisant of him beyond what I say, nor concerned in him except as a general son of Adam. That is the real truth; and so enough of that.
How is poor Mrs Browning in this fierce weather? I hardly remember a viler temperature than we have [had]8 for ten days back: grim frozen fog, except a few hours about noon; whirlpools of frosty dust, and a wind direct from Nova Zembla.9 However, it will end soon; and Summer come in spite of all this wriggling and Lancashire up-and-downing on the part of Winter.
We have got thro' the two first volumes (I read them yesterday) of Margt Fuller.10 What she says of me, I suppose, is in the 3d volume: the Pieces in the Newspaper (if that is all, as I suppose) were not perceptibly disagreeable to me.11 Poor Margaret meant well, and she might have read the phenomena infinitely worse, nay it is surprising she didn't. A gigantic Aspiration: in my life I have seen nothing stranger in that kind; and very loveable withal. Except Emerson's part, the Book is but indifferently done;—and indeed poor Yankeeland seems but little wiser than poor England. How I should like to see the flop hat of the old Chansonnier [singer]!12— Adieu, dear Browning,— Yours ever, T. Carlyle

Abstinence is Key
Will a minuscule bump in the road here and there along the journey to excellent health prevent one from living in health and freedom? No way!
When a slip-up occurs, can one still be 100% committed to health for the rest of his/her life? Absolutely!
The key is to not allow the slip-up to become the excuse to "throw-in-the-towel" for the rest of the day.
One must always be mindful of the principle of sowing and reaping. Seeds of compromise sown into the soil of our lives will grow into seedlings of bigger compromises, which will eventually grow into full grown plants of addiction, and become the catalyst for poor health. Guaranteed.
It is so very important to understand that even minuscule slip ups do have their consequences if one desires to get completely free from toxic food addiction. One must abstain from toxic cravings if he/she wants to see results. Period. No shortcuts.
Seeds of abstinence sown into the soil of our lives will grow into seedlings of bigger abstinence, which will eventually produce a harvest of freedom from toxic food addiction, and become the catalyst for excellent health. Guaranteed.
Remember, 100% perfection is totally different from 100% commitment.
A perfectionist mindset needs to be psyched up at all times to live in 100% perfection. If a slip up occurs, even the tiniest one, because perfection can no longer be attained for the day, it's an automatic excuse--and many times a most welcome excuse--to throw-in-the-towel for a full-blown binge that may take a day, or days, months, or even years to recover; therefore wreaking havoc in one's psychological and physiological equilibrium. Some call this disordered eating. Some call it an eating disorder. Some call it a mental illness. Some call it yo-yo dieting. Whatever label one so chooses, it can be totally overcome by correct information. A transformed mind will produce transformed actions which will produce a transformed body. Guaranteed.
Stay the course. Keep the balance.
Abstinence is key to freedom.
Are you a perfectionist? Is striving to be perfect preventing you from living in freedom from food addiction?

In part 1, I introduced you to Chia Squeeze, another chia seed product from the makers of the highly popular drink, Mamma Chia.
Now I'm going to tell you more about Chia Squeeze and how it tastes. Janie Hoffman, the CEO and founder of Mamma Chia, graciously sent me samples of several flavors of Chia Squeeze to try out. I discovered that the #1 ingredient in all of them is chia seeds. What I've been loving about Mamma Chia is the delicate mélange of essences in each flavor. You get a similar effect with Chia Squeeze, but it's more intense. Each flavor contains multiple ingredients—not just one fruit.
The Mango Coconut, for example, contains mango, banana, apple, carrot, coconut cream, pineapple, and orange. This product tastes both sweeter and tarter to me than the Mamma Chia beverage, probably because it is not diluted with as much liquid so you get more concentrated flavor. This particular flavor tastes very tropical. Because of the intensity, you can dilute Chia Squeeze a bit with other beverages of your choice without sacrificing flavor.
I also tried the Green Magic flavor, which I regarded as the most refreshing flavor. The Wild Raspberry and Blackberry Bliss were very raspberry and blackberry-tasting, respectively. There are also two other flavors—Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Banana, that sound particularly appealing for children.
I love the cool pouches these come in, too. You don't have to fumble around with one of those juicebox-type containers with little bitty straws that are so hard to use and cannot be resealed. This pouch comes with a real cap that unscrews. You can consume all the contents of the pouch at once, or you can put the cap back on and save some for later if you want.
This is a great product, and I can see a variety of uses for it besides just drinking it straight up. You could mix it with sparkling water with maybe a sprinkle of stevia, or you could squeeze some on top of your child's oatmeal in the morning. It would be great as part of a smoothie. In fact, you can think of this as a smoothie "mixer." Just add some other smoothie ingredients of your choice—maybe some almond milk, a little protein powder (although Chia Squeeze contains 2 grams of protein already), and some ice cubes or frozen banana if it you want it to be more of a frozen treat.
I tried using the blackberry flavor in a green smoothie. I used 4 large romaine leaves, some bottled water, a pouch of the Chia Squeeze, and a small piece of raw ginger root, plus a sprinkle of stevia. It turned out to be one of the best green smoothies I've ever had. When I started sipping on it, my dog suddenly started whining until I gave her a little of it. I don't necessarily recommend green smoothies for dogs, but she loved it, ginger and all. Plus, the Chia Squeeze is a great shortcut, because it already has fruits, vegetables, and chia in it, with no cleaning, peeling, or dicing necessary on your part.
If you're going to be decadent, just pour this over a nice scoop of vegan or regular real ice cream—not the kind with a million chemical ingredients and fake flavors in it. I like Haagen Dazs. Or make a swirl shake with it. Put a scoop of vanilla or other flavor ice cream in a glass and stir it to soften it, squeeze in a pouch of Chia Squeeze, and use a spoon to swirl the Chia Squeeze through the ice cream. Oh, yeah!
My local Kroger's does not carry Chia Squeeze yet. However, you can buy it directly from the Mamma Chia web site. A pack of 16 pouches is $27.99. That's only $1.75 apiece.
The web site does not list the ingredients so I'm listing them for you here. As you'll see, they have concentrated nutrition along with their more intense flavor. Each one is a powerhouse of beneficial and tasty ingredients.
Mango Coconut Chia Squeeze ingredients:
• Hydrated organic chia seeds
• Organic mango puree
• Organic banana puree
• Organic apple juice concentrate
• Organic carrot puree
• Organic coconut cream
• Organic pineapple juice concentrate
• Organic orange juice concentrate
• Citric acid

Wild Raspberry Chia Squeeze ingredients:

Blackberry Bliss Chia Squeeze ingredients:

• Organic purple carrot juice concentrate
• Citric acid
• Organic natural blackberry flavor
• Organic natural blueberry flavor

• Organic banana puree
• Organic mango puree
• Organic apple juice concentrate
• Organic lemon juice

If you love the Mamma Chia beverage but need a more storable, packable, non-refrigerated chia snack with more concentrated nutritional punch, Chia Squeeze is your answer.

Ceph briefing
at 2pm Sage Weil spent an hour+ talking about Ceph, the distributed
storage system. This is the first time I've had a serious look at it,
and this was one informative session. The Ceph project's goals are to
provide a pure open-source storage framework that can run on anything,
and be resilient while doing it. And also, disrupt the storage market
while doing so.
Right now Ceph has support for a variety of access methods:
- Object access through a REST gateway
- Object access through a library, librados
- Block access
- File-level access through Ceph FS
of this, it's a very attractive system for a IaaS storage foundation.
And by all reports, it's definitely being used like that.
Another of its goals is to require as little manual configuration as possible, which is a very important thing when building a rapidly scaling system. Hand in hand with that is to be as low impact to disruption, add/delete nodes, as possible. Central to all of this is the Crush Algorithm.
Ceph is built around an object-store basis, rather than a file-store basis. This is for a few reasons:
- Names are in a simple flat namespace
- More scalable that a file-system
- The 'kajillion file directory' problem doesn't exist
- Much easier to parallelize
- Variable size objects
- Access through a simple API with rich semantics
And yet they're still providing traditional file-level access, and even block-level access through these objects.
Ceph is looking to put out some appliances in the near future, to give integrators an even more minimal configuration option. They're looking to improve their integration with Samba and Ganesha NFS, hoping to provide direct Ceph access from the respective layers. Also on the list is direct Hadoop integration, and geographic replication.
An audience member raised the question of encryption support. Ceph supports encryption in the authentication layer, but doesn't provide any at the storage layers. This is a rather complex problem, given the difficulties in key distribution and known problems with dm-crypt. It is being talked about, but no final decisions have been made yet.
This is an evolving project and definitely has some large systems behind it. A GFS clone it ain't. It's more than that.

CVS Caremark will soon offer Narcan, an antidote for opioid overdoses such as heroin, Oxycotin, and morphine as well as other drugs in this class of narcotic analgesics.
Walgreens was currently the only pharmacy to offer the life-saving drug without a prescription. CVS will now be another chain where this drug can be purchased.
Narcan, or (naloxone) is "indicated for the complete or partial reversal of opioid depression, including respiratory depression, induced by natural and synthetic opioids, including propoxyphene, methadone and certain mixed agonist-antagonist analgesics: nalbuphine, pentazocine, butorphanol, and cyclazocine. NARCAN (naloxone) is also indicated for diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdosage," according to rxlist.com.
In a harm reduction methodology, family members, addicts, and even their friends can save lives when an overdose occurs from an opiate drug. However, opiates can outlast Narcan's duration in the body, so the person must be monitored, and possibly given repeated injections of the drug.
Making this drug available in more pharmacies, family members and the addicts friends will have easier access to this drug. As with all drugs, however, Narcan is not without its own side effects. The following information is from rxlist.com.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeats;
- dry cough, wheezing, feeling short of breath;
- sweating, severe nausea or vomiting;
- severe headache, agitation, anxiety, confusion, ringing in your ears;
- seizure (convulsions);
- feeling like you might pass out; or
- slow heart rate, weak pulse, fainting, slow breathing (breathing may stop).
If you are being treated for narcotic drug addiction, the expected symptoms of withdrawal would include:
- feeling nervous, restless, or irritable;
- body aches;
- dizziness, weakness;
- diarrhea, stomach pain, mild nausea;
- fever, chills, goosebumps; or
- sneezing, runny nose.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Having this drug easily available can save a lot of lives, and give those persons another chance in climbing out of the vicious lifestyle of drug addiction. Prescription narcotics, and street drugs such as heroin, are in wide use across the U.S. Their use is also at epidemic proportions, and spreading into rural areas as well.
These drugs are no joke, and if you do get addicted to opiates they are extremely difficult to get off of. The relapse rate is very high, so the possibility of overdosing also increases. Having Narcan available is another tool to help those that can't help themselves in the interim.

Remember how those clear bra straps seemed like a good idea when they first showed up on the market? Well, they weren't - and aren't (you can still easily find them) - because even though they were made of clear plastic, they were nowhere near invisible, so it looked weirder to wear them and pretend that you were getting away with something than let your black bra strap peek out.
But we digress. We don't think the goal of this Clear Silver Arrow Bracelet ($22) is to make it look like there are chevrons floating over your wrist... but wouldn't it be cool if they were? Invisible bracelet! Until technology improves significantly, however, we'll just make do with this still pretty cool minimal bracelet to give a little bit of decoration to our wrists.

The nation's most storied women's tennis program remains in capable hands thanks to the leadership of head coach Lele Forood, who recently completed her 16th season at the helm in 2015-16.
During Forood's coaching tenure, the Cardinal has compiled an eye-popping 388-37 record, participated in 16 NCAA Tournaments, captured eight NCAA team titles and claimed 12 conference crowns (outright or shared).
The 2003 ITA National Coach of the Year and five-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year, Forood also served as an assistant and associate head coach at Stanford for 14 years following an All-America playing career on The Farm.
Stanford, which has made 35 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, has also produced several lengthy winning streaks under Forood that instantly require a double-take. Recognized as the longest home winning streak of any NCAA Division I intercollegiate sport before Ohio State's men's tennis team surpassed the mark in 2014, Stanford won 184 dual matches in a row at Taube Family Tennis Stadium in a stretch that spanned 12 years since a loss during the 1999 campaign. The Cardinal won 157 consecutive regular season duals on its home court during a 13-year run from 1999-2012. Stanford also compiled an 89-match winning streak from 2004-2007, resulting in three undefeated seasons and three NCAA titles until a February loss in 2007.
The Cardinal has also performed at an unprecedented level on the individual side under Forood's watch, producing five NCAA singles champions and five NCAA doubles teams. That includes Amber Liu (2003-04) and Nicole Gibbs (2012-13) claiming back-to-back singles titles, in addition to a three-year stranglehold in doubles from 2010-12.
Stanford (20-5, 9-1 Pac-12) captured its 19th national championship (18 NCAA, 1 AIAW) in 2016, defeating No. 12 Oklahoma State in a 4-3 thriller. No. 15 Stanford became the lowest-seeded team to win an NCAA title, knocking off No. 2 Florida (4-3), No. 10 Michigan (4-3) and No. 6 Vanderbilt (4-2) in a span of five days prior to reaching the final. Stanford has now won 14 of its last 16 NCAA matches when seeded lower than its opponent, a streak that covers six years. Stanford also secured its first conference title since 2012 and 25th overall, impressive considering the Cardinal was ranked fifth in conference play in late March.
In 2015, Stanford (18-6, 7-3 Pac-12) reached the NCAA quarterfinals for the sixth consecutive season. Seeded No. 14 in the NCAA Championships draw, Stanford upset No. 3 California in the round of 16 and despite falling 4-1 to No. 6 Georgia in the quarterfinals. The Cardinal, which placed fourth in the Pac-12 and was ranked between No. 7-14 in the country throughout the season, also boasted a deep lineup of four All-Americans.
Despite reaching the postseason as a No. 11 seed in 2014, Stanford advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the fourth time in five years. The Cardinal, which was ultimately edged 4-3 by No. 7 North Carolina, also overcame the early departure of back-to-back defending NCAA singles champion Nicole Gibbs while three freshmen made their lineup debuts. In addition, Stanford's entire six-player singles lineup qualified for the NCAA singles draw.
The 2013 NCAA team title was extremely memorable, as Stanford captured its 18th national championship despite entering the postseason as the No. 12 seed. Improving to 64-6 in the postseason under Forood, Stanford knocked off the tournament's Nos. 5, 4, 1 and 3 seeds along the way, including two-time defending champion Florida in the semifinals. The championship single-handedly extended Stanford Athletics' streak of 37 consecutive years winning at least one NCAA title and heavily factored into the Cardinal securing its 19th straight Learfield Sports Directors' Cup.
In 2012, Stanford finished 21-2 and earned a share of the Pac-12 regular-season title at 9-1. However, the Cardinal's bid for a third straight NCAA final appearance was halted by a quarterfinal loss to USC, representing only the fourth defeat over the last three years combined. Competing in arguably the nation's best conference, Stanford closed out the year ranked No. 5 in the country and handed national champion Florida its only loss.
Meanwhile, the final day of NCAA Championships proved to be a historic one, as teammates squared off in the singles final before later pairing up in the doubles title match for the first time in NCAA history. Gibbs became only the third Stanford player to claim collegiate singles and doubles championships during the same season. Gibbs defeated Mallory Burdette 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the singles final, before the duo paired up one hour later to claim the doubles crown with a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Georgia's Nadja Gilchrist and Chelsey Gullickson.
With a 28-1 record in 2011, the Cardinal made yet another deep postseason run despite falling to Florida in the NCAA title match. Two lengthy streaks were also snapped in the process, beginning with Stanford's first loss since Feb. 26, 2010- a stretch of 47 consecutive wins. Additionally, Florida became the first opponent to win a dual match on Stanford's home court since California posted a 5-4 victory back on Feb. 27, 1999. The NCAA-record streak at the time spanned more than 12 seasons, resulting in 184 consecutive wins and two national championships (2002, 2006). Meanwhile, Hilary Barte and Mallory Burdette claimed the NCAA doubles title, while Stacey Tan became only the 10th unseeded player to appear in the championship singles match despite falling in the final.
Stanford claimed its 16th NCAA championship in school history during the 2010 campaign and first since a dominant three-year title run ended in 2006. After starting the postseason with three straight 4-0 shutouts, Stanford (26-1) knocked off No. 1 Baylor and No. 6 Notre Dame before posting a dramatic 4-3 win over No. 3 Florida in the national championship contest. The Cardinal went 8-0 in league play, claiming its first Pac-10 championship since a 21-year title streak ended in 2009. Barte and Lindsay Burdette teamed up to win the NCAA Doubles crown, bringing home Stanford's first doubles title since 2005. Mallory Burdette was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and turned a 5-4 third-set deficit into a 7-5 victory at the No. 3 position to clinch Stanford's national title win over Florida.
Seven years ago, Stanford finished 19-5 overall while reaching the round of 16 at the NCAA Championships for the 24th straight season. The Cardinal finished third in the Pac-10 at 6-2, snapping the program's streak of 21 consecutive Pac-10 titles. Meanwhile, Barte earned All-America honors in both singles and doubles for the second straight year and teamed with Lindsay Burdette for a runner-up finish in the NCAA Doubles Championship final.
Stanford finished 22-5 in 2008, advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships before falling to Baylor. The Cardinal joined UCLA as Pac-10 co-champions at 7-1, while Barte, Lindsay Burdette and Jessica Nguyen were honored as All-Americans. The ITA National Rookie of the Year, Barte produced a team-best 30-8 overall mark and became the first freshman in school history to win at least 30 overall matches and 20 duals since Theresa Logar (38-4 overall, 27-0 duals) in 2004.
The Cardinal wrapped up the 2007 season at 24-2 and 8-0 in Pac-10 play. Stanford's run of eight consecutive NCAA Championships finals appearances came to end when the Cardinal was upended by UCLA in the semifinals. Prior to suffering a 4-3 loss to Georgia Tech on Feb. 3, 2007, Forood directed the Cardinal to a historic 89-match winning streak that spanned three undefeated seasons (2004-06) and resulted in three NCAA titles, three Pac-10 championships and numerous conference and national accolades along the way.
In 2006, Forood guided the Cardinal to a 30-0 ledger and its 15th NCAA championship. The Cardinal posted a 4-1 victory over Miami in the title match, claiming the hardware on its home court as both men's and women's competitions were held at the same site for the first time in NCAA history. Five different players (Alice Barnes, Celia Durkin, Amber Liu, Logar and Anne Yelsey) earned All-America honors in the process.
Forood led Stanford to a 27-0 record and a 4-0 shutout of Texas in the 2005 NCAA Championship match. Barnes and Erin Burdette, the ITA Doubles Team of the Year, were crowned NCAA champions, besting teammates Liu and Yelsey in the final. The Cardinal also won its 18th Pac-10 team title, while Barnes and Yelsey captured the Pac-10 doubles championship.
The first of three straight undefeated seasons occurred in 2004, as the Cardinal finished 29-0 and downed UCLA 4-1 in the NCAA championship match. Forood helped Liu win her second straight NCAA singles title, while the doubles pair of Lauren Barnikow and Erin Burdette was named the ITA and Pac-10 Doubles Team of the Year.
Forood became the first female head coach to win the NCAA team title in 2001 with a 4-0 victory over Vanderbilt. The championship was the first for Forood, an assistant coach for five national title runs from 1989-1991 and in 1997 and 1999. She guided the Cardinal to a stellar 30-0 mark in her rookie season at the helm, in addition to the 2000 Pac-10 championship and a final No. 1 national ranking.
Forood was an assistant coach for 10 years under legendary skipper Frank Brennan before being promoted to associate head coach in March of 2000. In 1997, Forood's efforts in helping lead the Cardinal to the NCAA title were recognized nationally as she was named the ITA Division I National Assistant Coach of the Year.
An All-American at Stanford 1976- the first year All-American accolades were awarded- Forood was a National Collegiate singles finalist as a freshman and a semifinalist during her sophomore campaign in leading Stanford to two second place national finishes. Competing internationally, she captured the gold medal in both singles and doubles at the 1975 Pan American Games. She was also the 1975 national amateur singles and doubles champion. Forood was ranked as high as 30th on the women's professional tour, and she had an impressive victory over Wimbledon champion and second-seed Virginia Wade at the 1977 U.S. Open. At the 1976 U.S. Open, Forood teamed with Rachel Giscafre to reach the doubles semifinals.
Forood was a member of the Board of Women's Tennis Associates from 1979-1987 and served as its secretary-treasurer from 1983-87. She has been extremely active in promoting WTA events, and was the recipient of the prestigious WTA Player Service Award in 1983. After the tour and before coming back to Stanford, she promoted the first professional women's tour event in France from 1986-1988 at Strasbourg.
A San Francisco native who grew up in Mill Valley, New York and then Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Forood earned a degree in sociology from Stanford in 1978.

text: Hello, i am a web developer using php on a regular basis. but i must admit that i do not know much about the inner working of compilers. i think phc is a great project and i hope this is the right place for my question ;-) i would like to add some experimental constructs to the grammar of php (something like properties in c# or vala). so i wondered if this would be possible with phc. my idea is to use phc to transform a php script with an extended grammar of php into a php script with regular grammar, by replacing non-regular constructs with generated code (i.e. by replacing c#/vala-like properties with java-bean-like accessor methods and private fields). so i sketched the following code transformation chain: 1] PHP Script (with extensions to the grammar, i.e. properties) ... transformation into an AST using phc ... 2] PHC-AST (with extensions to the grammar, i.e. properties) ... replacement of non-regular constructs with regular code using the Tree_transorm API ... 3] PHC-AST (regular grammar, i.e. accessor methods & private fields) ... transformation into regular php script ... 4] PHP Script (regular grammar, i.e. accessor methods & private fields) i had a look at the source code of phc but as i started to experiment with some code in "/generated_src" i couldn't compile phc anymore. touching these files yields to an "permission denied error". as you can see i dont know much about c++, makefiles and stuff like that. but i would like to learn more about these things if my idea above could be realized at all. so here is the actual question: would it be possible to extend the syntax/grammar of phc (/generated_src/php_scanner.lex & /generated_src/ast.tea ???) in order to make such transformations (properties -> accessor methods)? if yes, could you give me some hints? how would you do this? any help is much appreciated! thank you very much! sorry for my bad english, peter

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
We're not quite sure if the Camouflage Wedding Dress ($INQUIRE) is for the bride that wants stand out on the big day, or blend into her surroundings and go undetected by wildlife. There's no question that the craftsmanship and artistry behind these gowns is top notch - but camo? Shouldn't she be holding a gun instead of flowers? We don't think we'll be saying "yes" to this dress.
Should be an agree to disagree. I have a LOT of friends that would by this.
I, too, have at least one friend who would buy this.
I would like to know the name of this fabric. Anyone know?

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammation of the nose and of the paranasal sinuses. The involvement of the respiratory epithelium in the mechanisms of CRS is poorly understood.
Among proteins expressed by nasal epithelial cells in CRS, IL-19 may have key functions. We here aimed to determine the expression and regulation of IL-19.
Nasal biopsies from normal subjects (n = 12), subjects with CRS but without nasal polyps (NP) (CRSsNP, n = 12) and with CRS with NP (CRSwNP, n = 15) were collected. Human Asthma Gene Array and real-time PCR were used to evaluate gene expression, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry for protein expression. Results for IL-19 were confirmed by real-time PCR. The constitutive and stimulated (LPS, TGF β) expression of IL-19 and cell proliferation were evaluated in a nasal epithelial cell line (RPMI 2650).
Human Asthma Gene Array showed an increased IL-19 gene expression in NP from patients with CRS in comparison with normal subjects. Real-time PCR confirmed the IL-19 mRNA up-regulation in patients with CRSwNP and showed an up-regulation of IL-19, at lower extent, in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in comparison with normal subjects. Western blot analysis confirmed that IL-19 is increased also at protein level in patients with CRSwNP in comparison with normal subjects. In NP, IL-19 is highly expressed in the metaplastic nasal epithelium when compared to normal or hyperplastic epithelium. LPS stimulation increased IL-19 expression, and recombinant IL-19 increased cell proliferation in nasal epithelial cells.
IL-19 is overexpressed in the epithelium in CRSwNP and increases epithelial cell proliferation.

After six months of moving, we finally had my aunt and cousins over for a meal yesterday. We've gone from living in the same neighbourhood and seeing each other every couple of days, to seeing each other once in a blue moon for family occasions. To mark their first visit to our new place in Toronto, I decided to try my hand at making an Indian-inspired brisket from chef Floyd Cardoz's One Spice, Two Spice recipe book. Cardoz, like me, is a former Bombay resident and Top Chef Masters 2011 winner. Intrigued by his cooking style, I picked up the book from the library and was hoping for a chance to make the brisket for a crowd.
Which brings me to another highlight of the past week. We finally had a Loblaws open just 15 minutes away from where we live, making grocery shopping a whole lot easier. It used to be a real cumbersome exercise picking up bits and bobs from five different stores. Now with the cold settling in, being able to get all ingredients in one spot is a real blessing. So freshly trimmed brisket in hand, I was all excited marinating it on Friday night and spent the whole day of Saturday and Sunday dreaming about what it would turn out like. Sorry to spoil it for you, but the entire meal was a slam dunk win.
The brisket took a good four hours and the marinade reduced to a thick paste that worked perfectly as a sauce on the side. The meat cut like butter and has absorbed all the flavours of the ginger, garlic, vinegar and dried spices. I paired it with turmeric mashed potatoes and an apple-walnut raita, both also from Floyd's book. He indicated that the mashed potatoes were supposed to taste like the potato stuffing served with South Indian dosas and the description was right on the bat. And the raita, I have just one word: wow! It had such a beautiful balance of sweetness from the apple and tartness of the lime all tied together with the creamy yoghurt and fresh threads of mint.
Without a doubt this meal will be replicated again soon. I was amazed at how wonderfully simple it was to cook the brisket and yet it turned out to be so impressive and flavourful. We all bounced back for seconds and promises were made that the recipe will be shared. Because it was exactly that kind of meal - homely, warm and comforting, just aching to be shared. And if you know me, that's exactly how I like every meal I share with friends and family to be.
Barbecued brisket (adapted from Floyd Cardoz's One Spice, Two Spice)
Serves 6
1 tbs black peppercorns
1 tbs cumin seeds
1 tbs mustard powder
1 cinnamon stick
2 dried kashmiri chillies
2 tbs chopped, peeled ginger
9 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 heaping tsp ground turmeric
3 cups quartered and sliced white onion
2 tbs agave syrup
1 12-ounce bottle Belgian style ale or beer (I used a dark ale)
2 cups canned tomatoes, including juice
1 31/4-pound beef brisket (preferably the thinner cut), trimmed but with a thin layer of fat
kosher salt
Cardoz recommends blending the first five ingredients together in a coffee grinder/spice grinder and pureeing the ginger, garlic and vinegar separately. Then combine with the rest of the ingredients and marinate for two to three days. I just pureed everything together, removed it in a large bowl and then added the beer to it. I added the brisket and let it sit in the refrigerator.
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Bring the brisket to the boil on the stove top in a 5 to 6 quart ovenproof pot (Cardoz says it isn't necessary for the marinade to cover the brisket completely). Then cook for around 31/2 to four hours turning every half an hour until tender. Add water if the marinade reduces too much. Serve with turmeric masked potatoes.

Post Game Video Recap
LOS ANGELES (AP) - UCLA coach Ben Howland has had all of his banged-up Bruins available for the same practice once this season. And they're ranked 12th in the country.
Their schedule may suggest to some that the Bruins (10-1) haven't played enough marquee schools to earn that spot. But Howland insisted after Friday night's 86-56 rout of Sacramento State that they have been tested enough for whatever challenges the Pac-10 schedule brings.
"We've played some very good teams this year, and I'm very pleased with how our team has responded to all the adversity," Howland said following the Bruins' final non-conference tuneup. "If we get everybody healthy, I think we have a chance to be an outstanding team."
Aaron Afflalo scored 22 points, Jordan Farmar had 15 points and nine of the Bruins' 28 assists and Alfred Aboya added 12 points for the Bruins.
Coming off a 74-72 victory over unheralded Wagner College, the Bruins opened this one with an 18-2 run and were never seriously threatened in their first-ever meeting with Sacramento State (8-5).
Half of UCLA's wins have come against schools that never faced them before this season, including Wagner, Albany, Drexel and Coppin State. All five of those games were at Pauley Pavilion, where the Bruins have won 10 straight.
"The last time I checked, we were one of two schools going into today that had played against five top 50 teams in the country," Howland said in defense of UCLA's schedule. "The RPI that they're using for the NCAA tournament is largely based on strength of schedule, and we were fourth out of 330 teams. So we've absolutely been tested.
"To get road wins over Nevada in a neutral site, and Michigan in a very hostile environment. Temple is a team that's expected to be in the NCAA tournament, and I have no doubt that Wagner is going to be in the tournament coming out of their conference," Howland said.
The Bruins extended their winning streak to seven games. Their only loss was to Memphis in the NIT Season Tip-Off semifinals at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 23. It's the school's best start since 1994-95, when the Bruins finished 32-1 and won the NCAA championship under Jim Harrick.
UCLA begins its conference schedule next Thursday against Stanford at Pauley Pavilion, and expects to have sophomore forward Josh Shipp back in the lineup for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right hip in September. The Bruins tied for third in the Pac-10 last season at 11-7, finished 18-11 overall and made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002.
"We've played a lot of tough teams and we've been pretty solid," Afflalo said. "The fact that we had 28 assists tonight was very gratifying to me. It's a good feeling, going into Pac-10 play, that we're all one team right now."
Jason Harris scored 16 points for the Hornets, who are 1-26 against Pac-10 teams. The only victory was during the 1953-54 season, 45-44 over Washington State.
UCLA's swarming defense held Sacramento State to one field goal over the first 6:25 and blocked six shots in the opening half, while the Hornets shot 33 percent and didn't make a jumper until Clark Woods' 15-footer with 6:24 left before intermission.
"Being down 18-2 obviously put us in a big hole," Sacramento State coach Jerome Jenkins said. "We already had a large enough mountain to climb just by playing them. UCLA is the No. 12 team in the nation for a reason. If we win the Big Sky Conference, this is the type of team we will play in the NCAA tournament. So this was a great learning experience for the program, but we have a long way to go."
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who had 13 points and 11 rebounds, gave the Bruins their biggest lead of the first half on a dunk that made it 36-17 with 5:38 left.
After shooting 19-for-27 over the first 20 minutes, UCLA opened the second half with a 9-0 run fueled by six points from Afflalo. His 16-footer increased the margin to 51-28 with 17:36 remaining, and the Hornets got no closer than 20 points the rest of the way.
The Bruins committed 21 turnovers.
"That was the one negative about tonight," Afflalo said. "That team came in averaging 19 turnovers by their opponents, and that's definitely something we don't expect out of ourselves. Maybe we got a little lackadaisical, due to the fact that we were up 20. But we will improve on taking care of the ball."

Domain name(s) registration
A domain is a way to identify a certain location on the Internet. It's a unique name that identify on internet. Just like a physical address, email software uses domains to deliver email and the web uses domains to locate specific websites.Registering a domain name is essential to a company willing to protect its identity on the global Internet. It also gives it the opportunity to brand its e-mails, website, servers, networking devices etc. kemnet.co.ke is an example of a domain name.
Whether in business or an individual, there are several important reasons for buying a domain!
- Exposure
- Protection
Once you secure your domain name, you are one step closer to having your own web site live on the Internet. First, you will need to have your web pages hosted so they can be seen by the world on the Internet. Web hosting means that your domain name is set up and activated on a server so it may be accessed all over the world, via the Internet.
Because of the nature of the Internet, we have opted to enter into a strategic partnership with a global provider of world-class web hosting services.

Faster, Stronger, Smarter: The Alchemy of Exceptional Human Performance
Alchemy is the process of transforming something common into something special. What would it take to transform an ordinary person into a human being capable of exceptional performance? How does genius come about? Since the times of Ancient Greeks and Romans, humans have tried to comprehend superior performance and capture genius – in art, literature, mathematics, philosophy, athletics, even war – and these attempts continue to be refined and redefined today by the modern advances in cognitive psychology, educational theory, pharmacology, and the study of artificial intelligence. However, the basic questions still remain: What does it mean to excel in a particular field – and how do expertise and skill develop? What is intelligence? Genius? What does it take to have superior memory or unmatched artistic skills? Is talent something you are born with, or is it acquired out of countless hours of deliberate practice? Most importantly, what chances do any of us have to excel, to reach our full potential? Taught by a cognitive psychologist, this course will try to answer these and related questions by exploring the principles of skill acquisition and expertise development across a variety of domains, as well as by critically reviewing approaches to the study of intelligence and human genius, and by applying the knowledge gained to understand our own potential and limits.

Gateshead 2-0 Cambridge United
Gateshead manager Ian Bogie believes his side's home form will keep the club in the Blue Square Premier as a tough season back in the top flight reaches a climax.
Daryl Clare ended his goal drought with a precious double to earn a vital win over mid-table Cambridge United as the Tynesiders held their nerve at the International Stadium.
The game turned late on with Gateshead holding on to a slender lead following Clare's stunning 38th minute opener.
Home keeper Paul Farman made his only save of the game, superbly saving low to his right from sub Antonio Murray's 20 yard drive.
Aiden Palmer inexplicably knocked the rebound over the bar from eight yards with the goal at his mercy and within an instant it was game over.
Simon Brown fisted clear a Wayne Phillips corner in his six yard box and when former U's winger Andy Parkinson hooked a shot goalwards Rory Macauley handled.
Clare, approaching a double century of Conference goals, hammered home the spot kick to give Gateshead a fifth win from their last six home game and end an eight game personal drought.
"Clare took his goal very well and was clinical with the penalty," said Gateshead boss Ian Bogie "his build up and strike for the opener was good enough to win any game of football.
"It was a big win for us which we must back up at Wrexham on Monday. We're in a good position within the relegation shake up but it is not over yet.
"The lads produced a dogged and determined performance. We deserved the win and our home form will keep us up as away we've been abysmal at times."
"Our destiny has always been in our own hands and that remains the case. The spirit we showed against Cambridge was fantastic and we need that for the tremaining five games."
Apart from an early 22 yard Danny Crow shot that fizzed wide the U's created little and the first half was a dour affair with Gateshead understandably tense..
A great run from Peter Winn from half way saw Clare's lay off find Parkinson whose shot was blocked with Phil Turnbull's follow up deflected wide.
Gateshead lost key defender James Curtis with a hamstring strain on the half hour with left back Paul Heckingbottom switching to the centre of defence to put in an assured performance.
Alongside him, Gateshead-born Chris Swailes belied his 39 years with a commanding display to leave the returning Farman well protected.
With half-time looming Clare showed great composure to take Andy Ferrell's lobbed through ball, sidestep two defenders and drill a left foot shot into the far corner.
Chances were again at a premium in an improved second half before Clare settled the issue to improve Gateshead's chances of avoiding the drop.
"We had a little spell at the start and missing the open goal late on changed the game but Gateshead deserved to win the game," said U's manager Martin Ling.
"I don't want the season to dye out like a damp squib. That's how it's turning out but I won't rest on my laurels until the season is done."

'Dogs Host NGWSD Clinic
Fresno State Athletics put on a free sports clinic for children in eighth grade and younger on Saturday, Feb. 4. in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
'Dogs Sweep Lady Techsters in Ruston
Fresno State (12-13, 6-6 WAC) completed its third season sweep of a conference opponent by downing Louisiana Tech in straight sets.
Clarke Up to 3rd, 'Dogs Fall at NMSU
With a pair of blocks, Brianna Clarke moved into third all-time (417) on the Bulldogs' blocks list. She is now 20 blocks shy of the career record held by Suzie Regal (1989-92).
Ed Jackson joined the Bulldog coaching staff as an assistant in April of 2008. He is entering his 10th collegiate coaching season and his third season as a Bulldog. Coach Jackson is the team's recruiting coordinator. His other responsibilities include oversight on all aspect dealing with video technology. In the gym, he trains the setters and assists with practice planning.
Prior to Fresno State, Jackson was the Associate Head Coach at The College of William and Mary. He spent four seasons in Williamsburg, Va., assisting in the turn around of a program that went from seven wins to 22 wins in three seasons. In his time at William and Mary, Jackson was responsible for recruiting, practice planning, video analysis and in-match strategy. He assisted in the development of three All-Colonial Athletic Association team selections along with the rookie of the year and defensive player of the year award winners.
Prior to joining the staff at William and Mary, Jackson served as an assistant coach at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he assisted with recruiting and video analysis. He was fortunate to be part of arguably one of the best single seasons in the program's history. UCSB broke several school records including best start (23-0) and most consecutive wins (23). The Gauchos won the Big West Conference outright for the first time with an undefeated 16-0 record. The historic season continued with a Sweet 16 finish in the NCAA National Championship Tournament and a final national ranking of No. 8. Coach Jackson assisted in the development of two AVCA All-American selections along with four first team All-Big West Conference members.
Jackson also has some head coaching experience in the college ranks, guiding the men's club program at the University of California at Davis in its 1998 campaign. Coach Jackson guided the Aggies's back to the national spotlight. The program was ranked as high as 10th nationally during Ed's time as head coach.
Jackson's first stint as a college coach was at Eastern Illinois University as a graduate assistant with the Panther's volleyball team. Coach Jackson assisted in the program's first regular season Mid-Continent Conference championship in 1995.
He also served as the director of volleyball and head coach of the varsity team at Sacramento's Rio Americano High School, compiling a combined record of 39-6 in two seasons. Under Jackson, the Raiders won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Sac-Joaquin sectional championships both years and advanced to the California State Tournament, finishing ranked No. 3 and No. 5 in California's Division II.
Coach Jackson is currently working with the Central Cal Volleyball Club in Clovis. He assisted the17 Gold team to an appearance in the 2009 U.S. Junior Olympic Volleyball Championships in July of 2009.
Receiving his undergraduate degree in psychology from Sacramento State University, Jackson was a member of the men's volleyball team that brought the 1997 NIRSA Collegiate Volleyball National Championship trophy back to Sacramento. During his tenure at as a hornet, he garnered all-conference honors along with a collegiate club All-American award and the 1997 national championship tournament most valuable player. This past spring he was honored as the 2008 inductee into the Sacramento State Men's Volleyball Hall of Fame.
Jackson is a native of California, hailing from San Diego. He and his wife Alanna have two children, Edward and Kellan.
