One of two people who sold a fatal dose of heroin to a Vancouver man was sentenced Thursday to 68 months in prison.
Brittany N. Sonnen, 26, of Vancouver pleaded guilty April 20 to controlled-substance homicide and possession of a controlled substance.
At her Thursday sentencing hearing, Sonnen's attorney told the judge that Sonnen's drug dealing in the summer of 2011 was a result of her intense heroin addiction and she was remorseful for her friend's death. Adam Hurd, 24, died of a heroin overdose Aug. 24, 2011.
"She's a drug addict," defense attorney Clark Fridley said.
Clark County Superior Court Judge John Wulle went with the prosecution's recommendation of the high end of the sentencing range, but said he would allow Sonnen to apply for treatment within prison.
"If you don't conquer this drug, it will conquer you," Wulle told Sonnen.
Sonnen's boyfriend and co-defendant, Jerome Otto, was convicted by a Superior Court jury on Tuesday of controlled-substance homicide. Jurors returned a special finding that Otto showed an "egregious lack of remorse," which gives the judge the option to impose an exceptional punishment at Otto's sentencing on May 29.
As part of a plea bargain, prosecutors dropped the aggravating factor of lack of remorse against Sonnen.
Sonnen and Otto ran a drug operation out of their Vancouver house, and witnesses said they frequently sold drugs to Hurd and his girlfriend. Brittany Sonnen's brother, a drug courier for the two, sold Hurd's girlfriend $60 worth of black tar heroin — knowing the drugs would go to Hurd, according to court testimony.
Hurd was found unconscious at his father's house the day after the drug sale, and died in a hospital three days later.
Addressing the court on Thursday, Hurd's father, Terry Hurd, said he understood his son, like other drug addicts, could get heroin other places. But he said Sonnen and Otto knew his son had been in treatment three times before, had overdosed twice and was trying to stay clean.
"Why would they put their own greed for money ahead of" Adam, Terry Hurd questioned, pointing out that the defendants were friends with his son.
The father suggested that had the two not sold to Hurd, "it would have brought me more time with him."
"Dealers need to be held responsible for their actions," he said.

On Thursday, July 31, Sydney Bucksbaum of E Online reported that the SyFy Channel original movie "Sharknado 2: The Second One" broke Twitter records previously held by Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus. People in the greater Spokane area may not be aware that when the movie debuted on Wednesday, July 30, it more or less took over Twitter with thousands of comments about the movie being posted on the popular microblogging site.
Fans posted a mixture of serious comments, jokes and pictures to express their enthusiasm for the deliberately over-the-top film about a tornado that drops sharks on the people of New York City. People Magazine and Mashable were just two of many sources that shared their favorite tweets about the movie with their readers.
In the movie, a cavalcade of stars such as Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Kari Wuhrer, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Judd Hirsch are forced to deal with the shark infestation as all sorts of mayhem happens all over New York. Alex Magdaleno of Mashable gave some background that may help explain the appeal of the movie.
According to Magdaleno, "For the uninitiated, Sharknado's plot involves — yes, you guessed it — a tornado of sharks terrorizing Los Angeles. Sharknado 2 moved one the absurd meteorological disaster to the East Coast, wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting New York City.
"Much of the online discussion Wednesday night centered on an insane opening sequence, impressive cameos — featuring Kelly Ripa, Al Roker, Kelly Osbourne and Mark McGrath — and an absurdly catchy theme song that spells out the doom that is sharknado.
"When the first Sharknado premiered in July 2013, it generated 5,000 tweets per minute at its peak, and hit 387,000 social mentions. NBCUniversal later revealed that Sharknado was the most 'social program on all of television –- broadcast and cable –- as well as Syfy's most social telecast ever.'"
Sharknado 2 also generated a significant amount of interactions on Twitter. Sandra Gonzalez of Mashable reported on Thursday, July 31, that tweets about the movie were seen far more often than tweets about other programs that aired on Wednesday.
According to Gonzalez, "The TV movie... generated an estimated 67 million Twitter impressions — a fancy way of saying how many times every Sharknado-related Tweet was seen — in the period three hours before and after its airing, according to social numbers from Nielsen. That's really big — and ahead of the night's second most social show, America's Got Talent, by about 65 million impressions."
Bucksbaum reported that the SyFy Channel has released data indicating that Sharknado 2 had 1 billion Twitter impressions. The film hit some other impressive milestones as well.
According to Bucksbaum, "Sharknado 2: The Second One pulled in killer ratings for its premiere last night, and blew some previous Twitter record-holders (like Kim and Kanye, and Miley Cyrus) out of the water. The highly-anticipated follow-up debuted to some seriously strong ratings, making it the channel's most watched original movie ever. That's not an exaggeration! Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered with 3.9 million total viewers and 1.6 million adults age 18-49, averaging 1.8 million adults age 25-54. That's nearly three times the ratings the original Sharknado movie earned.
"But that's not all: Sharknado 2: The Second One also broke some major records on Twitter—no surprise there. According to the network, the movie delivered one billion estimated impressions for Twitter conversations. ... At one point during the premiere, the SyFy flick held all top 10 trending topics in the United States, and there were more mentions of it on Twitter than #MileyCyrus during the 2013 MTV VMAs or #kimye on Kim and Kanye's wedding day. Those stats make Sharknado 2: The Second One the most social movie on TV ever."
According to Alex Heigl of People, Sharknado 2 also had more mentions on Twitter than The Lego Movie, Transformers 4, the most recent Godzilla movie and 22 Jump Street did on the nights of their premieres. Obviously, this says nothing about the quality of any of those films, but it does suggest that viewers were having a lot of fun talking with like-minded Sharknado enthusiasts.
People in the Spokane area who missed out on all the fun on Wednesday have more chances to get swept up in the Sharknado experience. According to Bucksbaum, the movie will air again on Saturday, August 2 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 3 at 9 p.m. In the meantime, people who haven't seen it yet should probably stay off Twitter if they want to avoid spoilers.

Son of God Synopsis
The life story of Jesus Christ (Diogo Morgado), as he travels and assembles his disciples and performs miracles wherever he goes. Although he becomes beloved by thousands of followers and is greeted warmly where he goes, he also faces detractors, who criticize him for healing on the Sabbath and twist his words to make it seem that he is working against the temple.
They worry that he has too much power with the people and force the Romans to find and arrest him. One of his disciples, Judas, betrays him and leads them straight to Jesus. When asked if he is the Son of God, Jesus admits it and is charged with blasphemy. Judas later regrets what he's done, but it's too late for him to turn things around.

IFM Awarded $500M CalSTRS Mandate
The California State Teachers' Retirement System, or CalSTRS, has awarded Melbourne-headquartered investment manager Industry Funds Management, or IFM, with an infrastructure mandate of up to US$500 million to invest in a diversified portfolio of North American and European assets.
With 856,000 public school educators and their families as members, CalSTRS is the largest teacher pension fund and the second largest public pension fund in the U.S. with a portfolio valued at US$144.8 billion at Dec. 31.
The mandate covers "core infrastructure" and includes transport, regulated utilities and other cash-yielding, inflation-hedged infrastructure assets.
US$300 million will be immediately invested and the remaining US$200 million is expected to be invested within 18 months.
"What the recent economic crisis demonstrated was the need for greater diversification in our investment portfolio, in areas that would also serve as a hedge against inflation," CalSTRS investment committee chairman Harry Keiley said in a statement.
CalSTRS chief investment officer Chris Ailman said by participating in the growing supply of high-quality infrastructure assets in developed countries, it was following the model of Australian pension funds who pioneered the sector to deliver returns to members. He added that CalSTRS wants to become more familiar with the sector before venturing beyond its partnership with IFM.
IFM — which is owned by 32 not-for-profit Australian superannuation funds — manages more than US$31 billion across infrastructure, private equity, debt and listed equity.

Forest Land Quail Habitat Management
Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Small Game Committee
Not too long ago, the bobwhite quail was a common by-product of modern land use practices. However, increased industrialization, mechanization, reforestation and urban sprawl over the past 30 to 40 years have greatly impacted quail habitat and quail populations. As current land use practices continue to work against quail, landowners wishing to promote quail on their property must now consciously apply habitat management activities necessary to meet the bobwhite's needs.
Managing Hardwoods for Quail
Oak dominated forests are one of the most important habitat types because they directly influence population and ecological process. Many birds and mammals rely heavily on mast producing trees for reproduction and survival. In addition to mast, the overall structure of hardwood forests differ from other habitat types and play an important role in winter and nesting cover for many species of birds and mammals.
Oak dominance in hardwood stands is declining in most Virginia forest and in the South East in general. The primary reason for this decline is a dominance switch to more shade tolerant species like maple, beach, and poplar. Currently, shade tolerant species are about 35% more prevalent in the understory of hardwood forests than oak species. As oaks are removed from the overstory either by natural causes or silvicultural practices, they are more likely to be replaced by shade tolerant species. This type of change in the species composition of hardwood forest has the potential to significantly impact wildlife populations.
The following is a discussion on the different types of hardwood forest management and methods to increase oak regeneration and/or maximize nesting and winter cover for birds especially quail and mammals. Remember that habitat diversity is important and maintaining forest stands of different age classes is key.
Crop Tree Release:
Probably the most intense practice for hardwood management but often the most appealing is a crop tree release. A forester, wildlife professional, or the landowner selects trees that are important mast producers. Generally this is best accomplished by the landowner because he is more familiar with his property and which trees produce mast on a consistent basis. Competing trees and/or non-mast producing trees that are in close proximity to the selected trees are removed. Only trees that have branches touching the branches of the mast produces need to be removed. This "releases" the mast producing tree from competition and enables it to grow and produce more mast. This type of cut is best accomplished on a small scale either by the landowner himself or a small firewood or similar operation.
Timber Stand Improvement Thinning:
Similar to the crop tree release, a timber stand improvement (TSI) is used to reduce competition in a hardwood stand and release selected trees to grow larger and/or produce mast. The primary difference between the two cuts is that a TSI is generally on a larger commercial scale with the objective of producing trees with a higher economic value. Timber stand improvement thinning can be a great value to wildlife if done correctly. The landowner needs to work closely with the forester to ensure that his goals to preserve and encourage mast producing trees and to save den structures is understood and properly implemented.
When planning this type of cut the landowner may want to consider laying out logging roads and skid trails prior to the cut to prevent damage to trees that are to remain and/or to act as fire breaks for future management practices.
A clear cut can be one of the most beneficial timber management practices for wildlife especially deer, turkey and quail. The value of a clear cut to wildlife is that it provides cover and forage in a fashion that is usable year around. A mature stand of hardwoods produces forage in the fall when acorn and other mast are available. Cover is not readily available in a mature stand of trees except in areas where trees have fallen or in dens. Within a year after a clear cut, early succession species begin to dominate the site and a variety of food and cover is available during most of the year. This type of early successional habitat is generally available in a clear cut for eight to ten years. Once the new trees reach a stage where they begin shading out herbaceous and other understory vegetation a landowner should consider creating a new clear cut or managing the existing cut via prescribed burn or herbicides to maintain early succession, herbaceous habitat.
The size and shape of a clear cut depends on a variety of factors including topography, economics, and wildlife. In general clear cuts should be irregular in shape, bordered on one or two sides by mature timber, and practically sized (10-30 acres). Many species including deer, turkey and quail like the edges of habitat. Creating an irregular border and surrounding the clear cut with different habitat types (i.e. mature timber, previous years cuts, agriculture) increases the amount of edge. In larger clear cuts landowners should consider leaving an island of mature trees (1/2 acre or so in size) in the interior of the clear cut to provide mast, structure and increase edge habitat.
Encouraging oak dominated regeneration in these areas is critical if hardwood management is the goal. If the forest was dominated by oak prior to the cut, a natural regeneration should occur from stump sprouts and seed. However, quicker growing species like maple sweat-gum and poplar can quickly dominate if close attention is not given to the site. Prescribed burning is the most effective method for increasing oak prevalence in a regenerating clear cut. Quicker growing species generally have thinner bark and put most of their energy into above ground growth. Oaks on the other hand are thicker barked and tend to put energy into root development during the first few years of life. For this reason, prescribed burns will shift species composition to favor various species of oak.
Shelterwood Cut:
As shelterwood cut is basically a clear cut that is accomplished through a series of two or possibly three cuts rather than just one cut. The concept is to remove a majority of the basal area to providing enough of an open canopy to encourage the regeneration of oak while leaving mature mast producing trees as shade and seed trees. The site is revisited in 15-20 years when the understory is well established and the remaining trees are removed thus creating the final stage of the "clear-cut". As with a clear cut, special care should be given to ensure that oak regeneration is accomplished. A site that is not opened enough may encourage shade tolerant species like maple. Similar to oak regeneration in clear cuts, prescribed fire may be necessary to shift species dominance in these areas.
When planning this type of cut it is important to consider the future goals for the site during the planning stage. Lay out the site so it is in close proximity to a variety of other habitat types and maximizes edge. Consider how the site will be managed for oak regeneration and plan for prescribed burns. Foresters or the landowner can lay out logging roads and skid trail prior to the cut to prevent damage to trees that are to remain and/or to act as fire breaks for future management practices.
Other Considerations:
Prescribed burning in and around forest management for hardwoods can be extremely beneficial for wildlife for several reasons. First, when burning is accomplished in a thinned oak stand where adequate sunlight reaches the forest floor understory vegetation increases by as much as six times after a burn. In clear cuts, prescribed burning sets back regeneration, replenishes nutrients in the ground and encourage forbs and other useful herbaceous vegetation. Finally, as discussed above, burning can help to shift the overall structure of regeneration to favor species of oak. Maintaining an oak dominated forest system is an important aspect of any hardwood management.
Regardless of the forest management practice utilized, logging roads, trails and decks can be managed to enhance wildlife habitat. Decks and roads can be planted with a wildlife friendly seed mixture like Korean or Kobe lespedeza to provide forage and brood rearing habitat as well as soil stabilization to minimize erosion. This type of planting can be as complicated is creating multiple food plots with various types of summer and winter forage, seed producers and insect rich legumes or as simple as broadcasting Korean lespedeza. After a hardwood thinning operation, a landowner may want to consider expanding portions of skid trails and roads to create areas where sunlight reaches the ground and encourage understory vegetation. Areas ¼ to ½ acres in size can be sufficient.
Managing Pines for Quail
Cutover timberland has recently become the backbone of quail habitat, and offers an opportunity for further enhancing quail habitat on your farm. While areas managed for hardwood production are generally only prime quail habitat for the first few years following harvest, pine stands can be managed for quail throughout much of their lifetime. The following is a brief outline of what you will find in the booklet.
- Site Preparation - Site preparation is designed to reduce the amount of competing vegetation prior to establishing a new forest stand. Site preparation can be achieved through mechanical means (e.g., dozing, drum chopping), herbicide applications, or prescribed burning. The best method for site preparation depends upon timber harvesting practices, soil conditions, and surrounding land uses, and a professional forester should make selection of the appropriate site preparation technique(s). For purposes of wildlife habitat, site preparation by prescribed burning should be used when feasible.
- Planting density - Planting density of a pine stand will also affect the future growth and value of the forest stand. Typically, loblolly pines are planted at a rate of 500 - 600 trees per acre to produce healthy forest stands and provide maximal economic benefits. If you desire to maintain optimal wildlife habitat, planting rates of 435 - 450 trees per acre are best. This lower density maintains excellent tree growth and allows sunlight to reach the forest floor for a few extra years, providing valuable wildlife food and cover over a longer period of time.
- Release from Competition - Releasing pines from hardwood competition is needed to maintain good growth in pine stands. Without releasing the pines, competing vegetation will slow the growth rate of the pines, reducing economic benefits. Releasing is generally conducted a few years after planting, and varies depending on site conditions and tree growth. If you desire to maintain wildlife habitat as long as possible, delaying release until 4 - 5 years after planting will protect important wildlife species of grasses, forbs, and legumes until a time when they are naturally declining within the stand.
- Pine Thinning - Pine stands should be thinned as early and as often as possible, generally 15-18 years after a stand is established. Working with a professional forester and tracking stand growth will help determine when thinnings should be conducted. Thinning pines maintains excellent tree growth and forest health. Thinning is also excellent for wildlife habitat enhancement as sunlight can penetrate the forest canopy and stimulate the growth of valuable wildlife food and cover in the forest understory. To maximize economic benefits, pine stands are thinned once or twice prior to final harvesting. During the first thinning, approximately 225 of the best trees are maintained in the stand. If a second thinning is conducted, approximately 100 - 125 of the best trees are allowed to remain until final harvest.
- Stand Maintenance - Initiating a prescribed burning rotation within the understory of the thinned pine plantations can help reduce some forest competition and maintain excellent wildlife habitat. Burning should be conducted 1� - 2 years after thinning and occur on a 3-year rotation. Burning units should be 20 -30 acres in size. I would not recommend burning all units during a single year; rather burn about 1/3 of the units each year. Prescribed burning will provide many benefits to wildlife. It will keep vegetation at a height where it is most useful for wildlife. It improves the nutritional value and digestibility of the vegetation. It will help maintain herbaceous vegetation (i.e. grasses, forbs, and legumes), and it will provide for a diversity of food and cover types for wildlife.
Firebreaks should be incorporated into any planned burning activity. A firebreak is a strip or gap of bare land, in vegetation or other combustible material, established or created that acts as a barrier to slow or stop the progress of wildfire and/or controlled prescribed burns. Firebreaks may be temporary or permanent and consist of fire-resistant vegetation, nonflammable materials, bare ground or natural geographic features such as rivers, rock outcrops, etc. Firebreaks should be located on the contour where practical, and stabilized in an appropriate manner where this is not possible, to minimize the risk of soil erosion. Firebreak construction must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including the state's Best Management Practices (BMP's) which can be viewed at the Virginia Department of Forestry's web site.
Four types of firebreaks are adaptable to the various needs and conditions existing in Virginia. They are:
- Forest roads
- Plowed, disked, or bladed firebreaks
- Burned firebreaks
- Vegetated firebreaks
Forest Roads
Forest roads may be used in any forest type and on nearly all terrain conditions. Existing or newly constructed forest roads or trails can be effective firebreaks if properly maintained. Forest roads are important not only for use as a prescribed fire tool but also for wildfire suppression access, timber harvesting, wildlife management, recreation, education and other forest management activities. Well planned roads provide low-cost access and require minimal maintenance. The travel surface of roads should be at least 10 feet wide. The maximum permissible sustained grade should be 10 percent but ideally roads should be constructed on a 6 percent slope or less. Roads built with slopes of 6 percent or less have proven to be less costly to maintain than roads of even an 8 percent grade. Short, steep slopes should be avoided as well as wet areas, areas prone to erosion, areas that might require expensive stream crossing structures and environmentally sensitive areas. Proper drainage is essential to the stability of the road. Forest Roads should be out-sloped wherever terrain and soil type will permit. Out-sloping allows water to flow off of the surface more quickly thereby reducing the chance of costly erosion damage. Conversely, often times roads built on flat terrain can develop maintenance problems such as potholes, ruts or wet areas. On flat terrain, roads should be crowned so that water drains to both sides and is diverted from the roadbed. Culverts and/or surface drains may be used. Seed the constructed roadway with a wildlife friendly mixture of grasses and/or legumes after completing soil tests, applying the recommended amounts of lime & fertilizer and planting using common agricultural planting practices. Where economically feasible, the road bed should be mulched with straw (do not use hay due to the high probability of introducing unwanted fescue to the roadbed) to help retain soil moisture and minimize seed loss from foraging wildlife. This allows the road to be used as a linear wildlife opening as well. If the road is to be maintained as a wildlife opening, the road should be planned and constructed to allow for adequate amounts of sunlight and rainfall which are necessary for proper establishment and continued vigor of the planting choice. Daylighting, or the removal of road side vegetation, may be necessary to allow ample sunlight to reach the road bed for several hours each day, aid in surface drying and create a soft transition zone between the forest and the road. The road should be gated if the area is prone to a high volume of unauthorized use. The necessity of road closure depends on the amount, type and duration of vehicular traffic. Any unnecessary use of the road will contribute to road damage, planting damage and wildlife disturbance during critical activity periods such as nesting and brood rearing.
Plowed, Disked or Bladed Firebreaks
Plowed or disked firebreaks may be used in any forest type and on nearly all terrain conditions and should be located adjacent or parallel to high risk areas and forest property boundaries, and within the forest where necessary They should follow the approximate contour of the land wherever feasible to minimize erosion. The breaks should be the width of the disk, plow (3 to 5 feet), or blade (6 to 12 feet). These widths are usually sufficient to contain most creeping or slowly moving ground fires, but will not stop crown fires. Since this type of firebreak disturbs the soil and/or breaks the sod, temporary firebreaks should not be plowed until immediately prior to the burn and should be revegetated as quickly as possible upon completion of the burn to minimize erosion.
Burned Firebreaks
Burned Firebreaks consist of two parallel plowed or disked strips, each 5 feet wide, and a minimum of 20 feet apart. Logs, limbs, and other flammable materials should be removed from the area between the strips. The area between the strips is then burned creating the break. Reseeding of a burned firebreak is not necessary as the sod is still intact with only the layer of thatch having been removed however the strips surrounding the burned area should be revegetated as quickly as possible upon completion of the burn to minimize erosion.
Vegetated Firebreaks
Vegetated firebreaks protect the forest as well as provide convenient access to an area. Vegetated Firebreaks consist of cool season grass or grass legume strips at least 30 feet wide adjoining forest land and 50 feet wide within forests. The strips should be cleared by removing trees and under story growth. Breaks must be 50 feet wide within the forest to allow sufficient sun light for grass and legume plants to grow successfully and form sod. The land should be prepared and seeded following common agricultural planting practices.
Firebreaks Operations and Maintenance Plan
O&M will consist of maintaining the break in a condition that insures that the firebreak is capable of stopping or at least slowing ground fires. Apply fertilizer to maintain plant vigor, and protect break from unwanted grazing and vehicular traffic. Perform renovation activities, such as pest control, mowing, disking, debris removal and rejuvenation of the desired vegetation and timeliness of maintenance activities to minimize wildlife impacts.
- Temporary Disked/Plowed Firebreaks
- Create the firebreak by disking or plowing. Expose mineral soil with fire line plows, or farm plows and disks or blades depending upon the terrain and character of vegetation to be removed immediately prior to the burn. The break should be wide enough to stop a ground fire.
- Place on the contour as much as possible to control erosion.
- Immediately after the burn, reseed the disturbed soil.
- Permanent Firebreaks
- Forest Roads -- Existing or newly constructed forest roads or trails can be effective firebreaks if properly maintained.
- Maintain the forest road to a minimum width of ten feet.
- Remove woody debris from road surface.
- Maintain erosion control measures, ditches, water breaks, and culverts in proper working order.
- Mow roadway prior to the critical fire season.
- Burn as necessary to eliminate flammable material and insure proper functioning condition.
- Schedule mowing, and other renovation activities to avoid the nesting season (April 15 through Aug 15).
- Fertilize and manage to maintain ground cover and proper mixture of grasses and legumes.
- Mow vegetative breaks to avoid a build up of excess litter, weeds and woody vegetation.
- Protect from grazing and vehicular traffic.
- Schedule mowing, and other renovation activities to avoid the nesting season (April 15 through Aug 15).
- Breaks will need periodic applications of lime, fertilizer and seed to maintain vigor if planted with a wildlife friendly mixture.
- Annually inspect the break and remove woody debris, perform maintenance on drainage, water bars and erosion control measures.
The use of windbreaks is not a common practice in the eastern United States but they can be successfully incorporated into a wildlife management plan anywhere in Virginia where soil loss occurs from above average wind conditions. Generally in Virginia this practice is more applicable in coastal and piedmont regions, primarily during droughts, but may also be implemented in the mountains. A windbreak is usually made up of one or more rows of trees or shrubs planted in such a manner as to provide barriers to reduce and redirect wind and protect soil from erosion. Other functions include protection of crops (especially where grains such as wheat are grown), livestock, buildings and wildlife from winds. Agricultural yields can be limited by factors such as soil erosion by wind, beaten-down crops and soil drying. Additional benefits include providing habitat wildlife and in some regions the trees can be harvested for wood products. They are commonly planted around the edges of fields on farms.
Wildlife habitats and biodiversity have been substantially altered, reduced and/or eliminated by the removal of native plant cover as a result of agricultural activities. As such, wildlife movement is now negatively affected by the absence of "corridors", which are critical to the movements of several wildlife species. Much like hedgerows these windbreaks can provide this missing habitat component by supplying escape/protective cover and travel corridors between woodlots for forest dwelling wildlife as well as providing valuable food resources for wildlife that inhabit brushy habitats (NBQ, songbirds, etc.). These areas also provide an environment for insectivorous birds which will aid in removal of unwanted insect pests in a manner that could substantially reduce the cost of applying insecticides. If the windbreak is constructed near a waterway, the landowner will get the additional benefits of reducing surface runoff and stabilizing stream banks.
Windbreaks can be developed in a manner similar to that which was discussed in the section on hedgerows. The main difference between the two practices is that the species being planted in the center of windbreaks are usually significantly taller than those of a hedgerow and are chosen based on the site specific needs of the barrier. With more diverse plant selections and management techniques, a windbreaks' wildlife habitat value can be improved. Native plants should be used where ever possible as they are adapted to the local growing conditions such as soil type, amount of rainfall and duration of sunlight. The design should incorporate coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs along w/ perennial and annual herbaceous plants. In making your planting decisions, consideration should be given to using various species so that some plants flower and fruit early in the growing season along with others that will retain their fruit into late winter. Natural regeneration will fill in the gaps between the planted specimens and manual removal of unwanted invasive species can be accomplished though use of a chainsaw or recommended herbicides. Designing and constructing the windbreak with different layers of vegetation will allow numerous species of wildlife to use the same area. Each layer creates a niche in the habitat area. Five or more layers are optimal and include the canopy, understory, shrub layer, herbaceous layer and the floor. Arrange vegetation to provide the greatest width practical and transition smoothly into the adjoining land use. Incorporating clump plantings under a tree canopy or along side the outside edge improves horizontal structure. Minimize straight lines in the design if possible.
Contour Buffers
Contour buffers are strips of perennial vegetation planted on the contour and alternated with wider cultivated strips in crop fields. They are primarily planted to prevent soil erosion as well as run-off of pesticides and fertilizer. However, they can also provide some valuable habitat if planted in wildlife friendly vegetation. These buffers have traditionally been planted in non-native, cool season, sod forming grasses such as fescue, but by making a few changes the wildlife benefits can be greatly increased without losing any of the original intent of the buffers.
Planting native warm season grasses (such as Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Indiangrass, Switchgrass) and legumes (such as partridge pea, Korean lespedeza) will greatly increase the benefits to local wildlife while still providing effective erosion control. As a matter of fact, some studies have shown that the native warm season grasses (NWSG) actually do a better job of absorbing pesticides than fescue. A good design would be to plant the buffer in NWSG with a strip of legumes on the uphill edge. Remember to treat the legumes with the appropriate inoculant before planting.
To improve the wildlife appeal of the buffers, they should be a minimum of 30 feet wide. The maximum width between the buffer strips should not exceed 300 feet. Buffers should only be mowed every 2 to 3 years to increase the amount of cover available. Also, mowing should be done after the nesting season for local ground nesting birds, but early enough to allow some re-growth before frost. Detailed specifications for designing contour buffers can be found in the NRCS Conservation Practice Standards #332 "Contour Buffer Strips".
Riparian Buffer Strip Management for Quail
Riparian buffer strips are corridors of vegetation along waterways, streams, ditches, and rivers. In addition to wildlife habitat benefits, riparian buffer strips capture sediment and runoff that would otherwise end up downstream. Buffer strips can provide all basic components of wildlife habitat: food, water, cover, and space, depending on the types of the trees and plants contained in the strip.
In farmed areas, buffer strips may represent much of the available wildlife habitat. Because buffer strips are long and narrow they yield several exceptional wildlife benefits. One benefit is abundant edge. Edge is where two habitat types, such as agriculture fields and forest, meet. Many wildlife species benefit from edge because of the abundance of food and cover close together. When you consider that a quail hunter's favorite starting place is often the perimeter of a crop field it is easy to see why quail are referred to as an edge species.
Another equally important habitat value of riparian strips is that they serve as wildlife connectors or travel ways between separate habitats. Picture a ditch or stream flowing for hundreds of yards from a wood lot across farmed fields and then into a distant cutover edge. Wildlife moving from the wood lot to the cutover stand a better chance of survival when they travel through vegetation rather than across open fields.
Sediment captured by buffer strips, along with additional moisture, make riparian buffers productive sites for plants to grow. Often, beneficial vegetation not encountered elsewhere on a property grows in riparian buffer strips. Some riparian strips are periodically subject to huge amounts of water during peak rain events that can substantially alter the vegetation. From a quail's perspective high water episodes are not unlike a prescribed fire in a forest understory. The affected areas are quickly colonized by vegetation that originates from dormant seed stocks or from seeds washed into the area.
The importance of buffer strips is supported by the fact that considerable cost share money from federal agencies, state agencies, and non governmental agencies is available for their installation, modification, or enhancement. Programs include WHIP, EQIP and CREP.
The same grassy and shrubby vegetation used by quail managers for nest, brood, or winter cover can be used to develop riparian buffer strips. Combinations of deep rooted bunch grasses, shrubs, and trees make riparian buffer strips effective for reducing sediment and nutrients, and provide good quail habitat. When cost share programs are used to install buffer strips, dimensions, vegetation types, and planting directions are prescribed through the program.
In general, from a quail management perspective riparian buffer strips should be a minimum of 25' feet wide. Wider widths approaching 50' are desirable and only enhance habitat value. The strip should provide clumped bunch grasses, such as switch grass or big bluestem, with shrubby vegetation such as VA-70 or any other fruit-producing shrub. Shrubs are planted in rows closest to the water where their root systems and woody structure can help stabilize the erosive forces of water and the grasses are planted adjacent to the shrubs. As in other situations where grasses are used for quail management, combinations of species and the addition of flowering plants such as partridge pea enhance their value for quail. Typically both sides of a waterway are planted in a mirror like fashion.
As a general rule of thumb riparian strips are established, enhanced, and managed for quail utilizing established techniques such as those outlined in this document for field borders and native warm season grass establishment.

Prior to taking this job at the athletic department, my duties rarely took me over to Matthew Knight Arena to watch Oregon's national powerhouse volleyball team.
My exposure to Jim Moore's Ducks was limited to television. And sure, they looked tall and athletic and powerful, and the sport looked fast and entertaining.
Then I checked out the team for its scrimmage last week, and sat at the new courtside seats installed at Matt Court for volleyball matches this year. The Ducks are TALL and ATHLETIC and POWERFUL. And the sport is FAST and ENTERTAINING.
Sitting in the new courtside seats — there are two rows of 10 next to each end of the court — reminded me of the days when press row used to be on the table at midcourt.
You're literally right in the middle of the action; you can hear and see interactions between players, coaches and officials. If you're not paying attention, you might catch a ball to the side of the head. It's thrilling, in a way other seats can't quite match.
Oregon's ticket office is selling the courtside seats for $250 for the season, or $25 per game, if available. More than half of the 40 seats have already been sold. But there's another free exhibition tonight, when the Ducks take on several alumni.
Admission is free, including for the courtside seats. If you're already a volleyball fan, used to watching the team from other vantage points, check them out. It's an entirely different way to experience the game.

Juan Manuel Marquez has finally made his choice. He has picked Timothy Bradley as his next rival and the fight will take place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 14.
Why Bradley? The answer would be Why not Bradley? A fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao seems unlikely from a financial point of view, and Bradley showed some of his vulnerabilities in his performance against Ruslan Provodnikov.
Besides Bradley and Pacquiao there were other names thrown in the mix as possible opponents for Marquez; Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado were among them; but it seems that the most attractive one for Marquez and maybe even the one that makes more sense financially speaking is the fight against Timothy Bradley. This will also give Marquez the opportunity to win the WBO Welterweight title and conquering his fifth weight category, Marquez has been a Featherweight Champion (126 pounds) a Super featherweight champion (130 pounds) a Lightweight champion (135 pounds) and a Super Lightweight champion (140 pounds) .
For those that wanted to see a fifth match between Marquez and Manny Pacquiao it seems as though that is not going to happen in the short or long term. Marquez has mentioned several times that it doesn't make sense for him to have another fight with Pacman, he has already proven what he wanted to prove by beating Pacquiao in their last fight.
Timothy Bradley just won by decision against Russian Provodnikov in a fight where Bradley was close to being knocked out a couple of times, fans are still not convinced about his skills, but Bradley is younger than Marquez and a strong fighter with lots of courage, beating Marquez will finally confirm to the boxing world that he deserves his spot as a world champion.
This fight will still have to be made official but for now it seems as though Bradley and Marquez will face each other come September 14, 2013.
If this fight sticks, I'm all for it. For either fighter, it is not worth a bit. I predict that the Cali Big Foot bambilizes Cry-baby Hulkquez. This won't be a good fight. And it is not going to be shown by way of PPV. Holla!
I said this fight could potentially happen.
not exactly taking credit for a "prediction" because the handwriting had been on the wall for quite a while now.
after the Provodnikov fight the "handwriting on the wall" has become bold graphitti..... 12 foot tall lettering painted in bright neon colors..
My only response to the Legendary Juan Manuel Marquez is....... "DONT DO IT".
The conventional view is : Marquez Stops Bradley in a toe to toe Boxing Exibition!
The reality: Bradley will out hustle,... out scuffle, out box and out fox the former Lightweight Icon from beginning to end.
I won't spend much time defending my comments.... The results will be testimony enough.
Bradley is going to get knocked out.
Jmm will lure him in and use his ped one punch killing new power to do it.
And the fight is not happening. Holla!
Radam G is the canvas kissers (pacMeow) corner/hype man

@Amayseng, roids-and-PEDs up Hulkquez may not be able to catch the Cali Foot Big/Cali Cranium Crusher. Danggit! I musta' fo'got! Hulkquez would step on one of Tim Bradley's size 13 dogs, and KaBOOM! Upside that size nine cranium. WTF! This will a fight of freaks. Some real freaks-in-a-circus jive.
Double fudging threatre of the unexpected got me again. Now it got conducting double-freak shows. Hehehe! Holla!
Bradley deserves some attention since he went toe to toe and might possibly be brain damaged. no fav in this match. might be a good fight or a short fight stopped on cuts by some big head butts
@Amayseng, roids-and-PEDs up Hulkquez may not be able to catch the Cali Foot Big/Cali Cranium Crusher. Danggit! I musta' fo'got! Hulkquez would step on one Tim Bradley's size 13 dogs, and KaBOOM! Upside that size nine cranium. WTF! This will a fight of freaks. Some real freaks-in-a-circus jive.
Double fudging threatre of the unexpected got me again. Now it got conducting double-freak shows. Hehehe! Holla!
Battle of the Pacquiao conquerors, Marquez whoop Bradley and then defeat pacquiao in a 5th rematch
Keep dreaming and fibbing to yourself. Bradley is no Omar. Tim was used as a baby of tar. Or is that tar baby. Neither one of these chumps can beat Da Manny. Only on roids and PEDs and a legion of the dark society. Holla!
jmm will stink out the joint for a few rounds forcing the damaged and lying to himself bradley to keep coming in thinking he can out fight and out slug everyone on earth...
bradleys bravado is false. he got two gift wins, the second against the russian in which he was concussed
probably 3 different times..
bradley has himself fooled and thinks he has hopkins chin and ray leonards combination punching...
jmm will lure him into traps and when he buzzes him he will properly finish him off in knockout fashion.
Radam you're contradicting yourself you even admitted during the aftermath of the pacquiao's loss that it wasn't PED's, it was skill. Pacquiao can't beat a slick mobile boxer whose fully hydrated. He's the catch weight queen who made his fame at welterweight by defeating washed up, broken, and dehydrated welterweights. And chill with your racist jive, "tar baby"
True that, Madam G IS in fact contradicting himself..i guess the bitterness of his mythical mexicutioner getting his @ss KAO'ED got the best of him...by the way Madam G..the last i remember..it was the manny p. that was crying on live philipine television alongside his woman, just saying
Omg HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!
Of course, Da Manny LOST! El mundo saw it. He got KTFO! Wow! There are contradiction of that. Maybe somebody is confusing himself by trying to control the flow and thinking of posters. By the way, tar baby is not a racist slogan. Look up the word. I don't use racism. Maybe you are talking about some hood or street slanguage. And on that type of tar baby, I cannot help you.
Wow! Don't cause a wreck, just check. Racist and bigoted comments are for losers with juvenile minds. All of them are on my ignore list. Holla!
Marquez will do what Pacquiao could have, should have, but not allowed to do against Bradley.
Pacmeow is under the full control of Arum. He owes Bobby Arum for all the hand picked fights, BS marketing, and for keeping him away from Floyd Jr.
PEDs won't give you skills, boxing IQ, or heart when your chin fails you.
Ariza still hasn't found a version of the " juice" that will teach pacmeow how to box
PACmeow's great trainer has never got him away from being a wild head-first punching amateur or boxing out of a kicking stance
PAC=low IQ But just high enough to be a great politician
You are 100% correct! Pacmeow lol
Radam you were just saying that Marquez needs PED's to beat pacquiao directly after your idol was rendered unconscious, you were an avid supporter of his trickery and great counter punching that undid pacquiao. I guess you're just bitter from the defeat. And tar baby can be interpreted as racist, not everyone is stuck in your small ethnocentric world. And I am just offering these readers a different perspective instead of the constant propaganda that you spew out via broken english JILL! You're the angry here because there disagreement with your biased assertions. Da Manny is a phony at welterweight.
Omg, the skies have opened and the truth is being given to radam. To say "Tar baby" is very racist and that's why you said it. Manny Pacquiao is a fake and was on PED's for a lonnnggggg time!!! Top Rank created him as his career should have been dwindling down after wars with morales and Marquez!
@carmine cas, @7.62 @chicanito
We know the truth
Lmao him imitating Ebonics has gotten old
Juan Manuel Hulkquez and the Cali Cranium Crusher/Big Foot will have one sorry roids-and-PEDs pridefight for peanuts. Hahaha! WTF! They refusing to dance with Da Manny for up to 15mil, because they won't take the test by VADA and want it done by missing-dat-syet, on-da-take USADA.
The roids-and-PEDs twins will bytch dance with one another for a couple mil a piece. This just shows you how the truth and pride in not getting caught will affect the financial judgement of pugilists freaking on dat syet. Wow! All for an eye-candy body muscular look. Holla!
Of its ppv it will bomb.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Dos Gatos
been using Windows XP Pro as the operating system on my primary
desktop computer for a long time but I want to move to Windows 7 when
it arrives. Microsoft says that it will not have an upgrade from XP
to Windows 7; a clean install will be required. So I mulled this
over a little and decided to move to Windows Vista so I would have an
upgrade bridge to Windows 7. I rationalized that the furor over
Vista had died down a little as Microsoft whittled away at the
problems. Also, the 64 bit version of Vista seems to be working okay
for a lot of developers (my peers).
I would migrate to Vista Ultimate x64 and therefore be ready for
Windows 7. Let's pause and check compatibility. Microsoft provides
a nice little tool that scans your hardware and your software and
gives you the good and bad news. Hardware wise, only my rather old
Visioneer 7300 USB scanner didn't pass muster.
After making a
backup of the current system, I started the install of Windows Vista
Ultimate x64 SP1. First issue – the upgrade option was disabled;
only a clean install was allowed. Web research found that there is
no upgrade path from XP 32 bit to Vista 64 bit. I should have
stopped right here. After all, the primary reason to upgrade was for
a smooth transition to Windows 7; if I continued, I would still have
the pain of a clean install and myriad software installations. But I
had new system fever! I wanted to use more memory than the 3+ GB
limit in 32 bit XP. I wanted some change in my environment.
Besides, my office needed a good cleaning and I could clean while my
PC was busy with the various installations. Actually, I could
probably clean most of the neighborhood while waiting for
installations to complete.
bumped my PC up to 9 GB of RAM. I wanted to run multiple virtual
machines and the extra memory would be useful (I thought). Back to the Vista
installation. Except for answering the normal questions about
keyboard and time zone, it was pretty much a hands-off experience. I
now had 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate running on my PC. After a
little visual customizing, I attacked the hardware drivers. Most of
the necessary Vista 64 bit drivers were on a CD and they all
installed without complaint. Everything was working okay. Once the
NIC driver was installed, I was able to connect to the LAN and also
the internet. Downloading and installing the latest NVIDIA drivers
allowed me to turn on Aero. My Vista experience test rated my system
at 5.9. What the heck does that mean? I know that it is a good
value but 5.9 is kind of an odd number – perhaps a bit overly
I added
some gadgets to the sidebar – more on Vista gadgets later. Then I
got started on my long list of software to install. Here is my list
and the compatibility issues I encountered. The draft of this blog
entry included a list of all the software that I installed, the
majority of which installed with not anomalies. Since most of that
was superfluous information, I have reduced the list to just those
programs that had some sort of exception (not necessarily bad).
Always my first
install on a clean system. I'm using an older version, 9 and it
installed and works fine on Vista x64. No issues. I did decide to
upgrade to version 12 Pro, even though I had to purchase it anew.
With "32" as
part of the name of my anti-virus software, I thought I might be in
for some shopping. However, a quick check of the NOD32 website
showed that they have a Vista x64 version. I downloaded and
installed it. My existing registration info worked and the PC was
protected from evil-doers. Version 4 of NOD32 has a completely new
interface so I'll have to figure out later if I have an optimum
setup. For now, the basics seem to be in place.
My preferred
Email client is Outlook Express. In Vista, OE has been replaced by
Windows Mail, a slightly improved version. I imported my old Emails
and Address Book from the backup I made before the Vista Install and
setup my Email accounts manually. This was relatively painless and
only took a few minutes. What I wasn't able to retrieve were the
numerous Message Rules that I had created in Outlook Express. The
rules are stored in the registry and are a pain to migrate, so I
started over. They needed a good house cleaning, anyway. Windows
Mail includes a Junk Email filter which, so far, is reasonably
effective at screening Spam. I was using Cloudmark for Anti-Spam
filtering but may not need it any longer.
Using Windows Mail
was short-lived due to Palm issues documented below.
This is a
replacement for Windows Explorer and is very important for my work
style. A check of the GP Software website revealed a version for 64
bit Vista. I downloaded and installed it. The existing registration
info worked and it was up and running. I am, however, having to
re-customize it. This probably could have been avoided with a little
preplanning, but, c'est la vie!
This wasn't
really an install, just some configuration work. I use RDT to
control and monitor six different servers and the first thing I
noticed was that, under Vista, my remote connections startup much,
much faster. This is the most positive difference that I have seen
with Vista; though, by itself, doesn't justify this amount of work.
Had to download
new drivers for both network attached printers. However, when I got
around to testing the printers, they were very, very slow. Again, on
the web, I found a very easy fix. I installed the printers by
specifying a local port (even though they are on the network) and the
local port points to the UNC name of the printer. This totally fixed
the problem with printing speed.
I have been using
the Palm Desktop software for many years as my calendar and contacts.
I've tried using MS Outlook but didn't like it much. However, Palm
Desktop doesn't have a 64 bit USB driver so I can't sync my Z22 PDA.
A little Google work found that I should be able to sync using the
Z22 infrared port. For about $20, Amazon is sending me a USB-IRDA
dongle. Hope it works.
received the USB to IRDA dongle. Installation was simple; plug it
in and Vista found a driver on the internet and installed it. That
was the good news. The bad news is that I can't get the Z22 to
recognize the IRDA and the PC. Also, the new Palm Desktop version 6
does not import my calendar and contact categories when it imports
the rest of the data. I think my solution will be to share the Palm
Desktop data with my laptop and sync the Z22 with the laptop. Since
I don't have to sync very often, this should be an acceptable bypass.
I am very disappointed in Palm – they have steadily deteriorated
over the years and I think if the new Pre isn't a super hit, they are
not long for the world.
particular issue turned out to have huge ramifications. See my
future article on "How Vista Changed My Life".
Visual Studio 6 SP6
VS6 installed
okay but got a compatibility error warning about C++. Since I was
only installing VB6 to support some legacy apps, I ignored the
warning. Seems to run okay. SP6 went on okay, as well.
Follow-up: Uninstalled VB6 and moved it to the Legacy Virtual Machine.
Visual Studio 2003
Installed okay
(slowly) but got compatibility warning for entire product. There is
a long list of issues that I can maybe live with; however, this might
be a good candidate for running in a Virtual Machine. I'll decide
later as it is also for supporting legacy apps. Maybe I should put
all tools for legacy support in a single VM running XP.
is a little later and I have removed VS 2003 from the Vista system,
installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 with a copy of Windows XP Pro
(32-bit). I installed VS 2003 on the Virtual Machine and worked out
a scheme to backup development changes to a network drive. This VM
will be my legacy development system (more on MS Virtual PC later).
About here I
noticed that System Restore was not working. When I tried to restore
a checkpoint, it got an error near the end and then, all of my
checkpoints disappeared. During the process of investigating this
annoyance, I found that my non-defragable system space was scattered
all over my C drive. I guessed this was because I installed Vista on
top of XP which already had some restore space. Again, a long quest
for a solution, but the only real fix was to start over and begin by
formatting the C: drive. I did this and reinstalled everything up to
this point; so from here back, I did everything twice, except for the
single format and two previous legacy installs. This time around, I
cloned an XP virtual machine and installed VB6, VS2003, and Access 97
to use just for maintaining legacy applications.
Had a little
trouble here. After installing and updating to version 1.1, I fired
it up and did not have any sound after the first cut scene. Poking
around on the internet, I found a suggestion to enable XP
compatibility mode in the Bioshock shortcut and Viola!, it
fixed the sound and the game is working great. Also, my first
experience with DirectX 10 (don't notice anything different, though).
Installed version
8.2 along with the required QuickTime. This was the first iTunes
installation that went perfectly smoothly. Before I installed
iTunes, I relocated the "Music" folder by editing the properties
and changing the location field. It used to be necessary to use
TweakUI (or hack the registry) to make this change. This is an
improvement. After installation, iTunes actually found my music
correctly; I was quite surprised. iTunes will become a big player in
"How Vista Changed My Life".
Installed okay
but location of company data has moved so I had to adjust my backups.
By the way, QuickBooks 2006 would not install at all; the setup
program immediately exits after Vista gives an incompatibility
this point, a couple of weeks later, the Vista system is running
smoothly. With the few exceptions above, all necessary software
installed with no problem. I disabled UAC fairly early on as it is a
big annoyance. My PC is pretty well protected otherwise so I don't
think UAC helps me at all.
Though Vista has
some changes to the look and feel, my day-to-day usage is about the
same as before. Putting my legacy development software into a
virtual machine has worked quite well. My memory utilization has
improved with the 64-bit system so the swap file is not as active.
The extra memory in this computer is really only useful for running
virtual machines as it looks like Vista never uses more than about 3

I have to tell that I like Windows 7. That OS runs very smooth. Even the 64 bit version runs smooth. When Windows Vista came out a lot of programs wasn't adapted yet for 64bit. Even though 64bit was allready there when XP was the king. Now most software has a 64bit version. Games also run better on Windows 7. It's almost like gaming on XP. Nice work from MS after problem Vista. And best of all, you don't need a high end pc.

STANFORD, Calif. – The Stanford women's volleyball team (24-5) will begin its quest for the program's seventh NCAA title at home this week, as the squad earned the No. 7 overall seed in the 2013 NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship and was selected to host the first and second rounds.
Stanford will play its first round match at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5 at Maples Pavilion against Hampton (19-10). The Pirates won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the first time to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
Alabama (24-9) and Oklahoma (23-7) will meet in the other first-round matchup at Maples Pavilion on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The Crimson Tide out of the Southeastern Conference is making its fourth postseason appearance and first since 2007. The Sooners also received an at-large berth out of the Big 12 Conference and are making their fifth-straight tournament appearance. The winners of the Stanford-Hampton match and the Alabama-Oklahoma match will meet Friday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. Should Stanford advance, the team will travel to Lexington, Ky., for the Lexington Regional on Dec. 13-14. The 2013 Final Four will be held at KeyArena in Seattle, Wash., Dec. 19-21.
Stanford will be making its 32nd-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and is one of just two teams to have made it to all 32 tournaments. The Cardinal will be seeking its seventh NCAA title, 19th Final Four trip and 15th appearance in the national title match.
Last season, Stanford fell in the Berkeley Regional final to Michigan in the tournament. Under 13th-year head coach John Dunning, Stanford has reached six of the last 12 NCAA title matches and won two national championships.
The Cardinal wrapped up the regular season on Friday night with a four-set win over Cal on Senior Night. Stanford finished second in the Pac-12 with a 17-3 conference record. Nine Pac-12 schools earned bids to the NCAA Tournament, the most by any conference in the country.
Tickets for the first and second rounds will be available online at www.GoStanford.com or by calling 1-800-STANFORD.

Efficiency, Proximity Part Of The 'Wow' In UW's New Weight And Training Rooms
For all that is shiny, new, large and mirrored about the Huskies' new weight room, their new training room – plus two adjoining nutrition bars -- under the west side of Husky Stadium, efficiency and proximity are what the team is already cherishing.
"The combination of the weight room and the training room being together is important," UW football strength and conditioning coach Ivan Lewis said this past weekend, as the 12,000-square-foot weight room was getting finishing touches put on around him.
"And it's unique that it is only football," Lewis said. "Every piece of equipment in here is specified to train the football player for what he does in practices and games."
That includes more than traditional bench presses and squat racks. It includes a base-twist machine for hip explosiveness and a triple-extension machine for leg driving, for example.
The 101 Club Husky Weight Room is 1,300 square feet larger than the team's previous one in the basement of the Graves Annex building across the north-side plaza from the stadium. The new room is steps away from the team's new locker room and meeting rooms.
The weight room has 16, pure-wood lifting platforms laid flush into the floor. In the old weight room, lifting decks were four inches off the ground, and the team shared those and the rest of the weights with other Husky teams.
The new weight room's floor is specially cushioned, as well.
One of Lewis' favorite features is a separate tunnel leading from the south side of the weight room, opposite the locker room, onto the Husky Stadium field. That means Lewis can combine his strength and conditioning workouts in full-size areas mere steps from each other.
"All those schools that are now getting to put turf into their weight room, that's cool. But you lose so much space," Lewis said. "We've got our field that we play on to train on. We are one with our field. We didn't waste space in here with a field or a track."
The new, modern training room is separated from the weight room by one, glass wall. That's home to what has already become one of most popular features of the new football building: the underwater treadmill machine in the hydrotherapy room.
The treadmill, made by HydroWorx, is the entire floor of an eight-foot-deep pool, and trainers can raise it electrically to become flush with the floor so players don't have to step down onto it. Rehabilitating or training players run on the track while six underwater cameras film their gait and progress of motion. Water jets help create hydrostatic pressure that can remove lactic acid and pooled blood from players' legs. Players can watch films or shows on one of the screens while working out on the HydroWorx machine.
Receiver Jaydon Mickens said he'd been on it four times in the first day the team occupied its new building, "just because" he likes the machine so much.
The Jeff and Susan Brotman Training Room also includes a hot tub, cold tub and a portable X-ray machine that can provide real-time film scans across the length of a players' arm, leg or torso. The Huskies can take that diagnostic tool with them to road games.
The training room-weight room synergy is also included in the Alter G gravity treadmill the rooms share. Players can put on a black, over-sized waist suit and become suspended in air. It's the aerobic workout of a treadmill run – without the pounding of all of one's entire body weight.
The nutrition bars, one inside the weight room and one at a stand between it and the locker room, will offer players fruit smoothies, energy bars, bagels, protein shakes and other fueling options between practices, meetings and meals.
Lewis loves the one-stop-shopping accessibility of the Huskies' new weight room and training room.
"It's no longer a trek to get from the team rooms to the weight room to the training room. It really is like being in the NFL," UW's strength coach said. "It's an NFL experience."

The result of the RIBA Library Photographs Collection's hugely successful exhibition "Puttin' on the Glitz: The Golden Years of Art Deco Architecture in Britain", this book uses vintage photographs and drawings not seen in the exhibition to explore Art Deco architecture at its peak during the inter-war years in Britain.
Art Deco was often applied to transient building types such as shops and restaurants, tending to obscure how ubiquitous a style it was. This book seeks to redress the balance by revealing not only Art Deco classics such as Odeon cinemas but also a host of lesser known buildings such as Conchita Supervia's flat in Lowndes Square, London, and a fish and chip shop in Sunderland.
A growing database dedicated to providing exceptional and unique images from the collections of the British Architectural Library at the Royal Institute of British Architects, the world's most extensive visual archive devoted to architecture.
