Micro law schools
Two interesting articles by Alex Dimson at Law Is Cool today have me thinking about a possible next step in the evolution of law schools. Two Ontario universities have applied to set up law schools: Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo. Alex reports that Lakehead's application, although on shakier ground… Read more »
Authenticity and lawyer recruitment
The editors at LegalWeek blogged recently about the results of the Sunday Times' "Best Company to Work For" survey, which, remarkably enough, saw eleven law firms crack the Top 100. I think this probably signals not so much a renaissance in law firm working conditions, so much as that many UK law firms are getting… Read more »

Dec. 16, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- Fresno State sophomore guard Moriah Faulk was named Mountain West Women's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday morning for games played from Dec. 9-15, 2013. This is Faulk's first MW weekly honor.
Faulk scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds in leading Fresno State to its third-straight victory with a 76-67 win over Portland on Dec. 14.
Faulk scored 17 points in the first half, which had already beat her previous career-high for points in a game that was 14 set at Seton Hall at the end of November.
After Fresno State jumped out to a 41-29 first-half lead, Portland came back in the second half to the Bulldog lead down to 47-46 with 13:32 to play. Faulk answered for the Bulldog by hitting 3-pointers on Fresno State's next two possessions, starting a 8-0 Bulldog run that got their lead back up to nine points and Fresno State went on to win the game by nine points.
Her 27 points are the most scored by a Bulldog in a game this season. She drained five 3-pointers in the game, which is also a career-high for the sophomore and the most by a Bulldog this season.
Coming off the bench Faulk is averaging 12.0 points per game this season and has scored in the double figures in her last five outings.
Fresno State next hosts San Francisco on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Save Mart Center for game No. 4 of the five-game home stand throughout the month of December.
"Catch the Wave" - ESPN2 790 AM is the home of the Fresno State women's basketball team.

Adding challenge to your Pilates mat routine can be as simple as infusing small accessory items like mini balls and flat bands to your Pilates workout.
Mini Balls- Shoulder Bridge Prep/Shoulder Bridge
Tone your hamstrings while strengthening your core muscles with the Shoulder Bridge Prep and Shoulder Bridge exercises. These exercises are performed with small soft mini balls.
Shoulder Bridge Prep
To perform this exercise, place the ball under the feet, align the spine, contract the abdominals then lift your hips as you press your feet in the mini ball, repeat for 4 reps return to the floor.
Shoulder Bridge
Repeat the steps above, keep the hips stable lift one foot from the ball, and then return it to the ball. Repeat this process on the other foot, return hips to the floor.
Flat Bands
Create a strong toned back, sleek arms, strong abdominals using the flat band to perform back rowing and the hundred exercises.
Back Rowing with Flat Bands
Start in a seated position; place the flat band around the balls of the feet. Holding the band in both hands, sit tall, slide the shoulder blades down pull the band to each side as you push the shoulders toward the mid-line, release and repeat for 4-5 reps.
The Hundred with Flat Band
This exercise helps to tone the triceps while strengthening the abdominals. To execute the exercise start supine (on your back), bend the knees to 90 degrees, place the flat band over the front of the ankles, flex your upper toward your knees, contract your abdominals, and pulling the band, inhale for five counts then exhale for five counts, repeat for a total of ten counts.
NOTE: Pulling the straps works the triceps muscles for a toned, sleek appearance.
Take your workout to the next level, strengthen, stabilize and get toned, get healthy.

I'm looking into using the Gamma (Erlang) distribution for a certain quantity that I need to model. I noticed by plugging in some values for the distribution parameters that the y axis values which represent the probability that a random value from the x axis be drawn (unless I've gotten it all wrong) can jump above the value of 1, which doesn't make any sense for a probability distribution.
For an example, check out this example distribution produced by Wolfram Alpha: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Gamma%282%2C+0.1%29&a=*MC.Gamma%28-_*DistributionAbbreviation-
Obviously there's some misconception on my part here. Care to point it out for me? Thanks.

Oil fell more than 2 percent on Tuesday, retreating from a one-month peak as investors took risk premium out of the market after a Hamas official announced that militants from the Gaza Strip and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Egypt.
The market was still awaiting confirmation of a truce but the reduced worry about supply disruptions pressured oil prices.
Any evidence to dash this hope will surely see prices rocket again.

Are you looking for a gift idea for the party host that you know already has everything? Or possibly a stocking stuffer for someone you know that loves to bake? Make a bottle of vanilla extract for them!
Making your own vanilla extract is so easy and it has such a wonderful taste that I have been using my own extract for a little over a year now. All you need is a few whole vanilla beans, I used a mixture of Tahitian and Madagascar, and either clear rum or plain vodka. I prefer that flavor or rum, so I got with a 50/50 mixture of both. Place the split vanilla beans in a glass jar or bottle and cover them with the alcohol. Cover the mixture and wait. This extract will take one month to 6 weeks for it to be ready, but it is sooooo worth it! Store the bottle in a dark area (like your kitchen cupboard) and give the bottle a little shake every day. Somedays I would forget, and get it a couple times the next day. It really doesn't matter, as long as you get the vanilla beans moving every once in awhile. As you use your vanilla simply replace the alcohol in the bottle. If you feel that your mixture is getting too weak, add an additional vanilla bean. Place a decorative tag on the bottle and you have such a cute gift idea!
Homemade Vanilla Extract
3-4 whole vanilla beans
1-2 cups of vodka or clear rum
Using a small paring knife, cut your vanilla beans in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds from the inside of the bean and place them into your decorative bottle or jar. Add the vanilla beans. Cover with vodka or rum and cover. Place in dark area away from direct sunlight and gently shake the bottle daily for 4-6 weeks. Use in your baking like you would any pure vanilla extract. As you use the extract, replace the alcohol occasionally and let sit for a few days repeating the shaking process.

928: Mimic Octopus
[edit] Explanation
This comic is a parody of fish and sea-life identification charts, referencing the mimic octopus which, as the name implies, is able to mimic other animals. The creatures the octupus mimics include tuna, a clownfish, a lionfish, a shark, what appears to be a crinoid, an angler fish, an anchor, a submarine, a scuba diver, multiple fish, and a single octopus.
The Orson Scott Card novel that the title text refers to is Lost Boys: "A withdrawn eight-year-old in a troubled family invents imaginary friends who bear the names of missing children" (Publisher's Weekly). The part of the story that Randall is referring to (Chapter 7, Crickets) involves a situation where the protagonist, Stewie, is given a C grade for an otherwise impeccable diorama featuring underwater animals involving clay sculptures (when only a poster would have sufficed) and a well-written presentation supposedly because the other children had destroyed the diorama before the end of the day. To make matters worse, his teacher, Ms. Jones, had made fun of his project and given the ribbon for first prize to someone else.
On enquiring about, his father, Step, found out that the principal, Dr. Mariner, had already made the decision to hand Stewie the blue ribbon for first prize as she had reviewed the project before it had been destroyed, but Ms. Jones had secretly overruled her behind her back by announcing that another child (JJ) would receive the ribbon. So, the next day he met up with Ms Jones after school to have a word on the grading of his project. Needless to say, they ended up arguing about minor issues, with Mrs Jones justifying the reason for her decision on, among other things, the definition of a 'depiction', whether or not the amount of content was defined by the word count or the number of pages and of the importance of putting the report in a plastic cover. The argument finally comes to a head when Step points out that there was only one red mark on the project report, and that concerned an 'incorrect' pluralisation of the word 'octopus'
- "But Mrs. Jones, surely you know that the plural of "octopus" is either 'octopus', with nothing added, or 'octopuses'."
- "I think not," said Mrs. Jones.
- "Think again, Mrs. Jones."
- She must have realized that she was not on firm ground here. "Perhaps 'octopuses' is an alternate plural, but I'm sure that 'octopi' is the preferred."
- "No, Mrs. Jones. If you had looked it up, you would have discovered that 'octopi' is not the preferred spelling. It is not a spelling at all. The word does not exist, except in the mouths of those who are pretending to be educated but in fact are not. This is because the 'us' ending of 'octopus' is not a Latin nominative singular ending, which would form its plural by changing to the letter 'i'. Instead, the syllable 'pus' in 'octopus' is the Greek word for 'foot.' And it forms its plural the Greek way. Therefore 'octopoda', not 'octopi'. Never 'octopi'."
- "Well, then, octopoda. Your son's paper said octopuses."
- "I know," said Step. "When he asked me the correct plural, I told him octopoda. But then he was still uncertain, because my son doesn't think he knows something until he knows it, and so he looked it up. And to my surprise, octopoda is only used when referring to more than one species of octopus, rather than when referring to more than one actual octopus. What Stevie put in his paper is in fact the preferred dictionary usage. Which you would have known, too, if you had looked it up."
After proving his case that his son did indeed deserve an A grade, he then threatened to bring the matter to the attention of the principal. He then warned Mrs Jones that while he wanted the grade to remain unchanged, he wanted her to inform the class that the ribbon would be awarded to Stewie, before revealing that he had been recording the conversation all along. And, after this, after Mrs Jones came crying for forgiveness before leaving, Step realised how vulnerable she was and how she was channelling her frustration at one particular student in each class to find some relief from that.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 'octopi', 'octopuses', and 'octopodes' (UK English) are all correct plural versions of "octopus." Supposedly, Randall would very much like the word 'octopi' to remain unrecognised by major dictionaries as otherwise it would lessen the magnitude of the climactic conclusion of this argument by rendering Step's mockery of Ms. Jones' perceived intellectual superiority factually invalid.
It should be noted that, at least according to Etymology Dictonary, Octopi is wrong for exactly the reasons that Step lists and first appears over 60 years later.

How does the mimic octopus manage to mimic multiple fish? Does it split it's own body up or something? Davidy22[talk] 13:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- "When under attack, some octopuses can perform arm autotomy, in a similar manner to the way skinks and other lizards detach their tails. The crawling arm serves as a distraction to would-be predators. Such severed arms remain sensitive to stimuli and move away from unpleasant sensations.[23]"[1] 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Fine, but in the SCUBA diver depiction, would it really need to rip parts out of itself to mimic bubbles? I don't think that that is quite necessary. 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- It could also hypothetically mimic bubbles by *actually blowing bubbles*. (No word on how it does this.) 126.96.36.199 02:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Anon
- Simple: This is a 2D cut-out of the octopus mimicking the fishes or the scuba in 3D. It assumes a very complex figure, so that in the cut-out we only see the 2D pictures above. 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

For the record, octopus is from the Greek ὀκτάπους, a compound of ὀκτά (eight) and πούς (foot); πούς is a third declension masculine noun, whose plural is πόδες. Therefore, the etymologically correct plural of octopus should be octopodes, not (as Orson Scott Card suggests) octopoda, since πούς is not a neuter.
- Actually, it would be "octopuses", as it showed up after the regularization of English plurals to a final -s. As the video in the explanation explains, someone in the Victorian Grammarian Era "realized" it was "Latin" and pluralized it as such. This caught on and still haunts us to this day. "Octopdes" was coined around the same time by a more observant someone, who realized it was actually Greek. Personally, I avoid the whole trichotomy by saying "octopods". Unrelated etymologically, but has the same meaning and is unequivocally regular. Anonymous 08:08, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Has anyone checked to see if the title text is true? Whether it is or not, this should be added to the description. 184.108.40.206 11:53, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I kinda just really realized that each pair of sharingan specializes in one specific jutsu. Some might come with more jutsu than others but there is always this one jutsu that defines the user. At least that's what i noticed kishi tries to do. Here are a few sharingan jutsu's that pretty much defined their users..
Shisui: Kotamatsukami
Obito: Kamui (his eyes are, overall, the key to another dimension entirely)
Itachi: Tsukuyomi
Madara: Susanno!
And Sasuke........ Amaterasu
..Maybe it's not sasuke's path to achieve the perfect susano because he has shown higher mastery with amaterasu than any uchiha.
1. When raikage was fighting sasuke, instead of sasuke's susanno growing even more, instead his mastery with amaterasu kept growing, he went from cloaking his susanno with amaterasu to completely taking it to the next level with it when raikage was about to drop kick him, some blaze release amaterasu technique, i dont remember the name -.- ...but yea he chose that instead of strengthening his susanno
2. When sasuke achieved EMS, yes his susanno did change appearance but most importantly he acquired the amaterasu sword called kagutsuchi, both as a sword and as a blaze release in the same hand. Plus his susanno, shoots amaterasu arrows.
Sasuke's path seems to set down amaterasu while madara on the other hand was a beast with his susanno. Just the appearance alone protects his front and back, his susanno summons meteors, his susanno is able to become perfect. While fighting hashirama, he manipulates the shape of it till it's armor for the kyuubi while sasuke specializes in manipulating the shape of amaterasu to his will. Get what i mean? Im thinking maybe kishi tries to show that madara's specialty is susanno while sasuke's is amaterasu.. which MIGHT decrease sasuke's susanno from becoming perfect or being as strong.
...Or i could be wrong, lol discuss.

Adaptive Advantages of Carotenoid Pigments in Alpine and Subalpine Copepod Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Induced Phototoxicity
Date: May 2010
Creator: Kovach, Matthew James
Description: Alpine zooplankton are exposed to a variety of stressors in their natural environment including ultraviolet radiation. Physiological coping mechanisms such as the accumulation of photoprotective compounds provide these zooplankton protection from many of these stressors. Elevated levels of carotenoid compounds such as astaxanthin have been shown to help zooplankton survive longer when exposed to ultraviolet radiation presumably due to the strong antioxidant properties of carotenoid compounds. This antioxidant capacity is important because it may ameliorate natural and anthropogenic stressor-induced oxidative stress. While previous researchers have shown carotenoid compounds impart increased resistance to ultraviolet radiation in populations of zooplankton, little work has focused on the toxicological implications of PAH induced phototoxicity on zooplankton containing high levels of carotenoid compounds. This thesis discusses research studying the role that carotenoid compounds play in reducing PAH induced phototoxicity. By sampling different lakes at elevations ranging from 9,500' to 12,700' in the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, copepod populations containing different levels of carotenoid compounds were obtained. These populations were then challenged with fluoranthene and ultraviolet radiation. Results discussed include differences in survival and levels of lipid peroxidation among populations exhibiting different levels of carotenoid compounds, and the toxicological and ecological implications of ...

Analysis of the One-Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros Unicornis) Habitat in the Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.
Date: December 2005
Creator: Thapa, Vivek
Description: This study analyzes the remaining suitable habitat of the one-horned rhinoceros, Rhinoceros unicornis, in Royal Chitwan National Park of Nepal. An April 2003 Landsat image was classified into eight land cover types: wetland, sand, water, mixed forest, sal forest, agriculture, settlement, and grassland. This image was converted into habitat suitability maps using cover, food, and water. The rhinoceros prefers grassland habitat with oxbow lakes and closed canopy during the monsoon season. Nominal values of five parameters were used to create a map of habitat suitability index. The map was categorized into four habitat classes: highly unsuitable, unsuitable, moderately suitable habitat, and suitable. Landscape metrics, patch metrics and class metrics associated with habitat were determined through the use of FRAGSTATS.

Assessing Outcomes of a Recycling Education and Service Program within an Elementary School
Date: August 2005
Creator: Cunningham-Scott, Carey Beth
Description: During the spring 2004 a pilot school recycling program was implemented within Robert E. Lee Elementary. The primary goal of the program was to determine how recycling education in the school would affect curbside recycling rates within the surrounding community. The program was a cooperative effort between the University of North Texas, City of Denton Solid Waste Department and Keep Denton Beautiful. Throughout the first months of the study during the spring 2004, an increase in curbside recycling within the Robert E. Lee Elementary attendance zone was observed, with a dramatic decrease in participation over the summer and a rapid increase once again during the second full semester of the study. In a survey conducted with 3rd and 5th grade students at the pilot project school, most students expressed positive attitudes about recycling. Students whose survey responses indicated a high level of knowledge about what could be recycled were 37% more likely to claim to recycle regularly, than those students that scored low on the knowledge portion of the survey. Although the total amount of waste generation (recyclable and non-recyclable) at Robert E. Lee Elementary did not decrease during the study, the campus was able to divert recyclable material from ...

Assessing the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of MTBE and BTEX Compounds in Lake Lewisville, Texas February 1999 - February 2000
Date: August 2000
Creator: Lee, Anne W.
Description: The spatial and temporal distribution of Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes) compounds were assessed in a multipurpose reservoir, Lake Lewisville, Texas between February 1999 and February 2000. Concentrations of MTBE ranged from 0.0 - 16.7 mg/L. Levels of MTBE in the lake were related to watercraft. BTEX concentrations were never detected above 2.0 mg/L during the sampling period. Finished drinking water from Denton and the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) Treatment Plants were also tested for MTBE and BTEX. MTBE and BTEX were not detected in UTRWD water samples. Denton's finished water samples never exceeded 2.2 mg/L for MTBE and BTEX was not detected except for one replicate of 1.1 mg/L toluene.

An Assessment of Storm Water Toxicity from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Denton, Texas
Date: August 1995
Creator: Keating, Paul Redmond
Description: With the advent of national storm water regulations, municipalities with populations greater than 100,000 are required to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits (NPDES) for storm water discharges. In addition to the sampling required for the permit process, the City of Fort Worth contracted with the University of North Texas' Institute of Applied Sciences to conduct acute toxicity testing using Pimephales prcmelas and Ceriodaphnia dubia on storm water samples received from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. A Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) was performed on four samples that exhibited acute toxicity to C. dubia. High levels of metals as well as diazinon were some of the probable toxicants found.

A Behavioral Model for Detection of Acute Stress in Bivalves
Date: May 1998
Creator: Allen, H. Joel
Description: A behavioral model for acute responses in bivalves, was developed using time series analysis for use in a real-time biomonitoring unit. Stressed bivalves closed their shell and waited for the stressful conditions to pass. Baseline data showed that group behavior of fifteen bivalves was periodic, however, individuals behaved independently. Group behavior did not change over a period of 20 minutes more than 30 percent, however, following toxic exposures the group behavior changed by more than 30 percent within 20 minutes. Behavior was mathematically modeled using autoregression to compare current and past behavior. A logical alarm applied to the behavior model determined when organisms were stressed. The ability to disseminate data collected in real time via the Internet was demonstrated.

Bioconcentration of Triclosan, Methyl-Triclosan, and Triclocarban in the Plants and Sediments of a Constructed Wetland
Date: August 2011
Creator: Zarate, Frederick M., Jr.
Description: Triclosan and triclocarban are antimicrobial compounds added to a variety of consumer products that are commonly detected in waste water effluent. The focus of this study was to determine whether the bioconcentration of these compounds in wetland plants and sediments exhibited species specific and site specific differences by collecting field samples from a constructed wetland in Denton, Texas. The study showed that species-specific differences in bioconcentration exist for triclosan and triclocarban. Site-specific differences in bioconcentration were observed for triclosan and triclocarban in roots tissues and sediments. These results suggest that species selection is important for optimizing the removal of triclosan and triclocarban in constructed wetlands and raises concerns about the long term exposure of wetland ecosystems to these compounds.

Biodiversity and Genetic Structure of Benthic Macroinvertebrates along an Altitudinal Gradient: A Comparison of the Windhond and Róbalo River Communities on Navarino Island, Chile
Date: 2016-5
Creator: Pulliam, Lauren
Description: Altitudinal gradients in Sub-Antarctic freshwater systems present unique opportunities to study the effect of distinct environmental gradients on benthic macroinvertebrate community composition and dispersal. This study investigates patterns in biodiversity, dispersal and population genetic structure of benthic macroinvertebrate fauna across an altitudinal gradient between two watersheds on Navarino Island in southern Chile. Patterns in diversity, density, evenness and functional feeding groups were not significantly different across the altitudinal gradient in both the Windhond and Róbalo Rivers. Taxa richness in both rivers generally increased from the headwaters of the river to the mouth, and functional feeding group patterns were consistent with the predictions of the River Continuum Concept. Population genetic structure and gene flow was investigated by sampling the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene in two invertebrate species with different dispersal strategies. Hyalella simplex (Amphipoda) is an obligate aquatic species, and Meridialaris chiloeense (Ephemeroptera) is an aquatic larvae and a terrestrial winged adult. Contrasting patterns of population genetic structure were observed. Results for Hyalella simplex indicate significant differentiation in genetic structure in the Amphipod populations between watersheds and lower genetic diversity in the Róbalo River samples, which may be a result of instream dispersal barriers. Meridialaris chiloeense exhibited weak population structure ...

Bioreactor Landfill Cell Feasibility Study ' Reference to City of Denton Subtitle-D Permit #1590A Landfill
Date: May 2002
Creator: Roberts, Elizabeth
Description: The City of Denton Landfill, Permit #1590A, utilizes "Dry-Tomb" techniques for disposal and promotion of municipal solid waste stabilization, as described by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) prohibition in 40 CFR. Bioreactor research suggests re-circulating leachate increases biodegradation rates and reduces long-term monitoring from fifty years to less than ten years. Current procedures that are followed at Denton's landfill, literature review and the use of the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model, suggest that a bioreactor landfill cell is worthy of further research. Re-circulating leachate and augmenting it with additional liquid will increase biodegradation and the need to design and build a landfill gas collection system to capture methane for energy recovery uses.

State Sen. Wendy Davis, a Democrat whose campaign to become Texas governor has be floundering as of late, decided to throw something of a Hail Mary pass by releasing an ad suggesting that her Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, is soft on rape, according to a Friday story in the Dallas Morning News. The House Chronicle suggested that the ad has some inherent risks that could backfire on the Davis campaign. However, with the RealClearPoliitcs poll average still showing her behind by double digits, she may have no choice.
The ad refers to an incident in 1993 when a woman invited a vacuum cleaner salesman unto her Sequin home for a demonstration. Instead the man brutally raped her while her children slept in the next room. The crime became part of a civil litigation that was heard by the Texas Supreme Court in 1998, when Abbott was a member.
The rapist was a sexual predator who had been hired by an independent contractor of the Kirby Co. which manufactured the vacuum cleaner without having run a background check. The woman wanted to sue Kirby for damages resulting from her rape. The court found in her favor, but Abbott dissented, suggesting that since the hiring was done by the contractor, Kirby itself had no duty to the victim.
The ad, which contains a partial reenactment of the incident, suggested that Abbott "sided with the company" against the victim. Abbott's campaign pointed out that according to his dissent, the woman would still have had the right to sue the independent contractor. It characterized the ad as "gutter politics."
Most analysts suggest that Davis is taking a huge risk with running the ad. The idea is the emulate the success Ann Richards had in 1990 in overtaking her opponent, Republican Clayton Williams, by capitalizing on ill-considered remarks he made on the subject of rape. But the suggestion that Abbott may be soft on rape is so over the top, that voters might decide to tune Davis out and not listen to her messaging.
Another possible stumbling block is the fact that the Davis campaign did not consult with the victim or her family before running the ad. Whatever her feelings toward Abbott, the victim might resent having her story dragged out into a political contest. Voters might also be appalled by the idea of a rape survivor being exploited for political reasons, a potential nightmare for the Davis campaign.

With a chance to become "a star, a legitimate and true star," ballsy New Yorker Chris Algieri has been offered a match versus boxing legend Manny Pacquiao on November 23 at the Venetian Hotel in Macau, China.
The 30-year-old Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) captured the WBO junior welterweight belt by winning a debatable split decision over Russian badass Ruslan Provodnikov on June 14.
A merciless assaulter with cement fists and a granite chin, the 30-year-old Provodnikov (23-3, 16 KOs) floored Algieri twice in the opening round.
Oozing confidence and performing in peak condition, Provodnikov badly defaced Algieri and the undefeated challenger quickly developed a grotesquely swollen, bloody and closed right eye.
However, displaying remarkable testicular fortitude, Algieri endured and managed to outbox the "Siberian Rocky."
Using deft footwork and an effective jab, the 5-foot-11 Algieri kept the 5-foot-6 Provodnikov at an honest distance following the first four frames.
Granted, many onlookers thought Provodnikov deserved to prevail.
Regardless, pugilism is highly subjective and it's understandable that other spectators believe Algieri was the rightful victor.
"It's the best possible fight out there for Chris. He did great in the Ruslan fight, but fighting Pacquiao puts him on a completely different level and a win against Pacquiao makes him a star, a legitimate and true star," Algieri's handler, Joe Deguardia, told the New York Daily. "The fight is there for Chris."
Comparatively, an eight-division world champ, the 35-year-old Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) seized the WBO welterweight title in April after universally outscoring Timothy Bradley.
Pac-Man officially trumped the 30-year-old Bradley (31-1-0-1, 12 KOs) by counts of 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112.
Showcasing elite footwork and the uncanny ability to deliver punches from all angles, an extremely aggressive Pacquiao used his southpaw stance to pepper Bradley with straight left hands.
The "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s by the BWAA was periodically careless and even borderline reckless.
Fortunately for the Filipino icon, Bradley possesses feathery fists and was incapable of seriously hurting Pacquiao.
Bradley, who claimed to suffer a right calf injury in the first round, is quick, tough and gutsy.
Battling like a man possessed, Bradley landed hard body shots and tried to will himself to greatness.
Nevertheless, supremely prepared for this sequel, Pacquiao again proved to be too dominant for "Desert Storm."
If the two throw hands, Algieri won't secure "a win against Pacquiao."
Yet, in a losing effort to Manny Pacquiao, the stouthearted Chris Algieri could become "a star, a legitimate and true star" this autumn.

I would like to see more Mappable controls, for me mainly in the sampler i.e the filter and pitch controls of each sampler.
Also I can't seem to be able to map the jog wheels on my BCD2000 when using the general midi setup. Is the jog encoder function in the midi setup page meant to act as a pitch bend while track is playing and a track seek backwards and forwards while stopped?

I Love Lucy History & Trivia
In 1950, CBS asked Lucille Ball to take her hit radio show, My Favorite Husband, to TV, and Lucy insisted that the man playing the role of husband be her own husband, Desi Arnaz. Desi had been on the road touring as the bandleader of the Desi Arnaz Orchestra and away from Lucille for months at a time. The two wanted more than anything to start a family, and were growing increasingly desperate at the lack of time they were able to spend in each other's company. When CBS executives balked because of Desi's Latin looks and Cuban accent, the couple decided to prove that the county would embrace them as a couple so they embarked on a tour of the U.S. cities where they performed skits they would later use in the show. The nation fell in love with their antics and I Love Lucy was born.
Back in the day, most TV shows were broadcast live from New York City, and a low-quality 35mm or 16mm kinescope print was made of the show to broadcast it in other time zones. But since Lucy was pregnant at the time (with daughter, Lucie), and she and Desi wanted to raise their family in California, they insisted on filming the show in Hollywood. Knowing that Lucille worked best in front of a live audience, Desi worked with the best in the business to work out a way to shoot the show on 35mm film using three cameras in front of a live studio audience, a technique now standard for most present day sitcoms. The show premiered on October 15, 1951 at 9 PM on the CBS Network.
The opening that the vast majority of today's viewers see, featuring the I Love Lucy credits over a heart on satin image, was created specifically for syndication. As originally broadcast, the episodes opened with animated matchstick figures of Lucy and Desi making reference to whomever the particular episode's sponsor was. These sequences were created by the famous animation team of Hanna and Barbera, who declined screen credit, because they were legally under exclusive contract to MGM Studios at the time.
Writers Jess Oppenheimer, Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll, Jr. wrote all 127 shows of the first four seaons. In 1955, they were joined by the writing team of Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf who remained with the show until its conclusion. Lucy and Desi were written as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo – she a housewife desperate to get into show business and he a bandleader desperate to keep her out. The Ricardos were joined by co-stars Ethel (Vivian Vance) and Fred (William Frawley) Mertz, the Ricardo's landlords and best pals. In 1953 the foursome welcomed the birth of Ricky Ricardo, Jr., a casting addition that occurred when Lucille Ball became pregnant with real-life son, Desi Arnaz, Jr.
In 1957 at the conclusion of the sixth season of I Love Lucy, Lucy and Desi decided to cut down on the number of episodes that were filmed each season. Instead, they extended I Love Lucy to 60 minutes, featuring a big guest star each episode. They renamed the show to The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show that was later changed, for syndication, to The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. Thirteen hour-long episodes aired from 1957 to 1960. During its run, I Love Lucy and its stars earned four Primetime Emmy Awards. All four actors have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Fred's middle name is Hobart. Lucy's is Esmerelda. Ricky's is Alberto. Ethel's was at various times Louise, Roberta, and Mae.
Because of limited space on the sound stage, the Ricardo's bedroom and the Mertz's living room are on the same set with different furniture.
The apartment building address that the foursome lived in was 623 E. 68th Street. However, E. 68th Street in Manhattan only goes up to 600 - which means that the I Love Lucy show's building was in the middle of the East River!
When Lucille Ball was pregnant with Little Ricky, CBS network censors wouldn't permit the scripts to say "pregnant." The writers had to use the word "expecting."
Lucille Esmeralda McGillicuddy weighed 110 lbs. on her wedding day.
The first time Ricky comes in the door and says, "Lucy, I'm home!" occurs in episode 10 (The Fur Coat). He will utter these famous words four more times. In the later years, this was changed to "Honey I'm home."
In episode 13 (The Benefit) Ethel's women's club is called the Middle East 68th Street Woman's Club. In later episodes she and Lucy are members of the Wednesday Afternoon Fine Arts League. Fred and Ricky sometimes call it the Wednesday Afternoon Fang and Claw Society, among other names.
In episode 30 (Lucy Does a TV Commercial), Vivian Vance does not appear. The script says she was visiting her mother. It doesn't say where her mother lives, but in episode 113 (Ethel's Home Town) her father is living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The Ricardo's anniversary is said to be on the 19th, although no month is specified. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had two marriage ceremonies -- the first on November 30, 1940 at the Byram River Beagle Club in Greenwich, CT. Years later, on June 19, 1949 they renewed their vows in a Catholic ceremony at Our Lady of the Valley Church in Canoga Park, California, near their home.
Lucie Arnaz never appeared in an episode of I Love Lucy. Desi Arnaz, Jr. appeared in the crowd scene of the final episode (The Ricardos Dedicate a Statue) in 1957 when he was four years old. Ricky Ricardo, Jr. was played by a total of six child actors.
Lucy Ricardo: "Well, I'm your vida-vida-vigee-vat girl. Are you tired, rundown, listless? Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? Well are you? The answer to all your problems is in this little old bottle. Vitameatavegamin. (looks at bottle) That's it. Vitameatavegamin contains vitamins and meat and megetables and vinerals. (hiccup) So why don't you join the thousands of happy, peppy people and get a great big bottle of uh, vita-veedee-vidi-meanie-minie-moe-amin. I'll tell you what you have to do -- you have to take a whole tablespoon after every meal. (she can't spoon it out so she drinks from bottle) It's so tasty too. Just like candy. So, everybody get a bottle of...this stuff."
Ricky Ricardo: "What do you know about rice?" Fred Mertz: "Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days in my life."
Ethel Mertz: "Where you afraid you'd lose me?" Fred Mertz: "I'll say, that outfit you're wearing is rented."
Lucy Ricardo: "We have to find Sylvia Collins a husband, but where? Ethel Mertz: "I'll make the sacrifice, she can have mine."
Ricky Ricardo: "Fred, I've got an awful problem on my hands." Fred Mertz: "You should have thought about that before you married her."
Lucy Ricardo: "What's Aunt Martha trying to do, poison me?"
Lucy's Doctor from Jamestown: "Hello, Mr. Ricardo. I'm the man who brought your wife into the world!" Ricky Ricardo: "I don't know whether to thank you or punch you in the nose!"
Ethel Mertz: "I refuse to go anywhere with someone who thinks I am a hippopotamus." Ricky Ricardo: "Lucy, is this true?" Lucy Ricardo: "No, I just implied that she was a little hippy...though she has got the biggest potamus I've ever seen."
Ethel Mertz: "Gee, this high altitude sure gives me an appetite." Fred Mertz: "What's your excuse at sea level?"
Ethel Mertz: "Imagine me meeting a Queen face to face, I'm scared." Fred Mertz: "You're scared? Think of the Queen."
Lucy Ricardo: "Gee, did you hear that, honey? It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for." Fred Mertz: "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."
Fred Mertz: "Two other people wanted to buy this car." Lucy Ricardo: "Where were they from...the Smithsonian Institute?"
Fred Mertz: "Now, don't make fun of us doughboys." Ethel Mertz: "Doughboys?!" Lucy Ricardo: "Whoever put the dough in that boy used too much yeast."
Ricky Ricardo: "Honey, you can't go running around Paris all by yourself." Lucy Ricardo: "Why not?" Ricky: "What about your French?" Lucy: "What about my French?" Ricky: "Well, Paris is a big city, and not knowing the language, you're liable to get in a lot of trouble." Lucy: "Well, when you first came to the U.S., you didn't get into a lot of trouble because you didn't know the language, did you?" Ricky: "I'm married aren't I? She told me that "I Do" meant "Pleased to meet you," and then she introduced me to the preacher."

Episode #124 "Harpo Marx"

A friend just received the parts for a computer, and we're trying to get Windows 7 installed. The CD drive that it came with isn't able to connect, so we're having to go down a creative path to get Windows installed.
We don't have a flash drive over 4 GB, so we can't install from a flash drive. We do have a TB external HDD, but I couldn't get the pc to boot from it.
So we installed Xubuntu on his secondary hard drive, and mounted the Windows 7 iso. Our goal is to install Windows 7 on the primary HDD, Windows would fix the MBR, and we could just format the secondary HDD.
So my question is, now that I have it mounted... how can I get it to run the setup file? I was going to try it with Wine but that won't work. Is there any other way I can get the setup going with Xubuntu? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Chris Rock, who once famously said, in one of his HBO comedy specials, that guns should be free but that each bullet should be $5,000, offered up a new take on gun control while appearing at the TCA Press Tour as the executive producer of FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.
Addressing the notion that people should be able to defend their homes, Rock said "Well, that's the thing the gun lobby always says. 'Well, people need the right to protect their property.' But every mass shooting is done by a guy who lives with his mother. So I honestly believe you should have to have a mortgage to buy a gun."
Once the laughter died down, Rock continued with "No one with a mortgage has ever gone on a killing spree. Because a mortgage is a real background check. They don't just give mortgages out. And you know, if you go to jail for 30 years, you still have to pay your f***ing mortgage."

If Catholic school mistresses took over the world and demanded everyone wear a uniform every single day of their lives, we'd probably choose a jersey dress. They're loose, soft, and airy and can drape and accentuate curves. The best is when they double-duty day-to-night; such is the case with Guess by Marciano's Ryker Dress ($148). The Ryker comes with beautiful architectural detailing across the neck and back of the dress, as well as at the waist.

College Hockey:Wayne State Picked To Repeat In CHA
With everyone excited about the prospects of a new season and a chance for an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament, the coaches of College Hockey America have selected Wayne State as the preseason favorite to win the conference. Wayne State, which enters the 2002-03 season with the nation's longest unbeaten streak at 12 games, received five of the six first-place votes and garnered 25 points overall.
Alabama-Huntsville received the other first place vote and 20 points overall. Bemidji State came in third with 18 points, Niagara in fourth with 13, and Air Force and Findlay tied for fifth with seven points apiece.
"We're returning everybody and that's a good thing from our point of view," said Wayne State head coach Bill Wilkinson. "Everyone's gunning for us, as they were last year, and everyone's got a lot of returning players and will give us a good challenge."
The Warriors have three of the six preseason All-CHA selections in senior forward Jason Durbin, senior defenseman Tyler Kindle, and senior goaltender David Guerrera, who was also selected as the conference's preseason Player of the Year. If Guerrera can follow up on his stellar junior season, he could become only the third goaltender in Division I history to repeat as its conference's player of the year.
The other members of the preseason All-CHA team are: Bemidji forward Marty Goulet, the league's returning scoring champion; Findlay forward Rigel Shaw, who set a CHA record with 15 goals in conference play in 2001-02; and Huntsville defenseman Tyler Butler, who led CHA defensemen in scoring last season.
The first year of the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament sees the conference's toughest non-conference schedules to date. CHA teams will face nine of the fifteen teams in the final USCHO men's D-I poll, including Huntsville's trip to watch Minnesota raise their national championship banner.
The Chargers' non-conference schedule was considered by most coaches to be the toughest of any league member, but coach Doug Ross seemed undaunted. "We've got one hell of a schedule this year, opening up with [WCHA members] Wisconsin, Denver, and Minnesota. We've got the toughest schedule we've ever had, but our guys are really excited about it. They're working really hard at it. We're really competitive as a league no matter who we play right now, and we're looking forward to it."
"We could win it, or we could finish sixth," said Bemidji coach Tom Serratore. "Our first ten games and road schedule will be keys. We had enough points early on last season to keep us in second place. We want to play our best hockey at the end of the year, which we didn't do last year."
"It's been unbelievable around here this fall," said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder. "It's been a media frenzy with the Frozen Four that we'll host with Canisius this spring. This is our toughest schedule in our history. Doug [Ross] and I probably have the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. It's been a different attitude since the first day of dry-land training. There's been a lot of excitement and a ton of emotion."
Air Force coach Frank Serratore said that his team looks to capitalize on a strong push at the end of last season, which saw them go unbeaten for eight games until a loss to Wayne State in the tournament semifinal.
"We ended on a real good note," he said. "We struggled with our chemistry, but we got it together and turned it around. It was all about our players, and we think that'll carry forward into this year. Who knows where we're going to be? Regardless of that, we're looking forward to battling and we're in the big time now."
"We obviously were very disappointed with last year," said Findlay head coach Craig Barnett. "Our goal was to win the league, and we missed that. Last year we really wanted to establish ourselves, and by the end of the year we felt that we hadn't finished that goal. We started strong, sweeping Mercyhurst, but then we seemed to get complacent."
The Oiler program added Pat Ford as associate head coach after long time assistant Rob Haberbusch left for Iona in the offseason.
"We had to make some changes for several reasons," said Barnett. "One of the changes was within staff when Rob departed for Iona in July. Due to his departure, we were able to get Pat Ford over from Wisconsin. I am very excited about the new addition and hope that with Pat's past successes and experience, that this change in staff will benefit the young Oiler program and help us move up the ladder in the CHA."
"Balance is going to be a key in this league, because you might win games with your third and fourth lines," said Wilkinson. "I don't think you can shut out anyone at this point, and anyone can step up and take it down the stretch. Everyone is capable of getting a hot goaltender, a hot scorer."
Air Force, Bemidji, and Niagara open up play on Friday, October 4 with the Falcons and Purple Eagles taking part in the Lefty MacFadden Invitational in Dayton, Ohio, and the Beavers hosting Manitoba. Air Force and Niagara kick off conference play when the Falcons visit Niagara on the first weekend in November.

Two Globe-News sportswriters have been honored by statewide organizations for their coverage of high school sports during the 2000-2001 school year.
Roger Clarkson will receive the Golden Hoops Award on May 3 from the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches at its annual convention in San Antonio.
Later this summer, Lance Lahnert will receive the Putt Powell Award, named for the late Globe-News sports columnist, by the Texas High School Coaches Association at its convention in Fort Worth.
"Both of them set a high standard of professionalism and dedication to their craft," said Globe-News sports editor Jon Mark Beilue. "They see what they do as more than just a job. They are passionate about what they do, particularly on the high school level, and it shows daily in their work."
The Golden Hoops Award annually goes to a sportswriter or sportscaster in Texas for what TABC executive director Alton Ballard deems "excellence in coverage of basketball."
Clarkson, a native of Waco, has been with the Globe-News since 1998. Before that, he covered sports at the Enid (Okla.) News & Eagle as well as The Daily Oklahoman. He is a graduate of Wichita State University.
Among high school sports, Clarkson primarily covers Class 3A and 1A football and basketball. This past basketball season, he chronicled Nazareth's record state championship girls streak along with the Nazareth and Stratford boys advancement to the 1A Division I and Division II state title games and the Dimmitt boys' return to the state tournament.
Lahnert is the first Globe-News writer to receive the Putt Powell Award from the THSCA. The award was renamed in Powell's honor in 1993. Powell worked for the Amarillo newspapers from 1930 until his death in 1992.
Eight regions in the state nominate a writer for the award. Lahnert, who has been selected as the Region I nominee on several occasions, won the overall honor. He will be recognized on Aug. 1 at the THSCA Hall of Honor banquet in Fort Worth.
Lahnert, a native of Black Forest, Colo., is a graduate of Northern Colorado. He has been with the Globe-News since 1982 after a stint at the Canyon News.
He has covered virtually every sport in the area during his 19-year tenure. His current duties include 5A football and basketball, high school baseball, the Amarillo Dillas and Amarillo Wranglers.

That same year, the drilling opponents scored their biggest win: A federal court ruled that further studies needed to be done on the potential impact of oil exploration on the marine environment. In 2010 the British Petroleum oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico provoked a federal moratorium on offshore drilling, and Cannon hoped the Alaskan Arctic would remain permanently off-limits. But not everyone in her state—or even her town—shared that dream. Alaska is hugely dependent on oil revenue; the state issues an annual oil-dividend check (averaging $1,485 a year over the past decade) to every resident and collects no income tax. Alaska sued to have the moratorium overturned; the ban was lifted in October 2010, but a series of permit and regulatory hurdles effectively stalled Shell until this past summer, when the company got permission to proceed.
But federal approval did not come without serious reservations. A June 2011 report by the U.S. Geological Survey concluded that "many of the challenges emerging in Arctic oil and gas development decision-making are beyond the ability of science alone to resolve." And even if Shell is capable of containing and cleaning up an Arctic spill, it could be defeated by the logistics of merely bringing the necessary equipment to a disaster site if conditions of heavy ice, fog, wind and total winter darkness prevail. How will Shell muster the necessary technology, Cannon asks, when sometimes "even medevacs can't reach us"? In her view, the Iñupiat cannot afford to roll the dice and hope for the best.
"I am haunted by the worry that an oil spill will occur in our waters," she told a House subcommittee in 2011. "The animals would either disappear or be so contaminated that my children or grandchildren would be forced to decide which is less harmful to them: contaminated whale meat or processed food shipped up from someplace like Costco . . . I know that genocide is a harsh word, but that's what it would be."
As Cannon stood outside her ice cellar earlier this year, Beardsley videotaped a new public service appeal. Cannon gazed solemnly into the camera and lamented Obama's ultimate decision in Shell's favor: "It hardens my heart and makes me sad to know he agreed."
In recognition of her determination, Cannon was awarded a prestigious $150,000 Goldman Environmental Prize for activism last April. She wore a traditional patchwork-fur parka to the San Francisco ceremony and enthralled the crowd with the story of her father's dying wish.
Nine years ago, she told them, Henry Nashookpuk, critically ill and physically spent, longed to be present at one more whale hunt. "As brittle and fragile as he was from the cancer, weighing only 90 pounds," Cannon recounted, "he wanted to join my brother's crew one last time. Of course, my reaction was no."
But her father would not be dissuaded. So as the icebergs melted in the Arctic that spring and the graceful whales reappeared along the coast, Nashookpuk's grown children carried him, in a sled lined with animal pelts and pulled by snowmobile, to the frozen shore of the Chukchi Sea.
Once at the water's edge, the old whaling captain sipped a cup of tea while he gazed across a horizon as formidable as it was familiar. He murmured something Cannon couldn't hear, finished his tea and then said simply, "I'm ready." He died a month later.
Cannon still chokes up at the memory, unable to find the words to describe the bond between her people and the sea. "It's not something you can explain," she says. "It's something you just have to feel."

Negligent tenant raises foreclosure risk
My sisters and I "own" some Tennessee properties inherited from my late father, who died in 1984. In his will, he wanted to provide for his current wife, "B," so she was given a "life estate" for her use of both properties during her lifetime. My sisters and I are the owners on the deeds. One of the properties is a residence, and the other is an income-producing commercial property.

Adam Goucher, Cross Country & Track
Four-time NCAA Individual Champion
11-Time All-American
12 Individual Big Eight/Big 12 Conference Titles
2000 U.S. Olympic Team
The roll call of Goucher's accomplishments in cross country and indoor and outdoor track are as long as anyone in collegiate history. A four-time NCAA individual champion, one of just three CU performers to win that many (1998 cross country, 1997 and 1998 3,000-meter indoor, 1998 outdoor 5,000-meter run), he was an 11-time All-American combined for the three sports. He won four district cross country titles, 12 individual conference titles (Big Eight and Big 12), including three in cross country, and was a part of four conference championship teams and the holder of one NCAA and three school records. He has gone one to have an outstanding professional career and was a member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team.

Judging by the recent headlines, this has been an emotional week in the NBA.
Some for the bad (Kobe Bryant's gay slur). Some for the good.
And the emotional moment veteran NBA announcers Grant Napear and Jerry Reynolds displayed during the Sacramento's Kings 116-108 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday was touching. The Kings are rumored to be moving to Anaheim, Calif for the start of next season (should the league avoid a 2011 NBA lockout).
Napear and Reynolds have each been Kings announcers for over 20 years.
Surely a lot of Americans can relate to doing a job you love for two decades only to have that opportunity stripped for reasons outside of your control.
Sad times for Kings fans.

Celebrating 40 Years of Title IX
UCLA Athletics continues its celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Title IX with a series of profiles of UCLA's Title IX 40. This group of 40 Bruin women were game-changers in the Title IX era. Next up are two all-time greats in their respective sports, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Dr. Dot Richardson.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Track & Field (1981-85)/Basketball (1981-85)
Jackie Joyner-Kersee (JJK) earned the title of "world's greatest female athlete" as she dominated the track & field events of the heptathlon and long jump from the mid-1980s into the late 1990s.
As a Bruin in the sport of track & field, she led UCLA to the 1982 and 1983 NCAA team titles, winning the heptathlon both years. She still holds the collegiate records and the top UCLA marks in the heptathlon (6,718 points) and long jump (23-9). As a Bruin women's basketball player, JJK was named one of the program's "15 Greatest Players" who was a four-year starter and is still listed among UCLA's all-time best in scoring, rebounding and assists.
In Olympic track & field competition, JJK earned six medals, including three gold. At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, while still at UCLA, she won her first Olympic medal, a silver in the heptathlon. In 1988 at the Seoul Olympics, JJK earned her first gold medals in the heptathlon (7,291 world record) and long jump. At the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, she won a second-straight gold medal in the heptathlon and a bronze medal in the long jump. In 1996 at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA, JJK could not complete the heptathlon because of a painful hamstring injury but came back to win a bronze in the long jump.
JJK won four World Outdoor titles, claiming gold in the long jump in 1987 and 1991 and gold in heptathlon in 1987 and 1993. She won national titles in the long jump nine times, in the heptathlon eight times and in the 100m hurdles in 1994. During her career at the USA Indoor Championships, she won the 60m hurdles title in 1992 and the long jump national crown in 1992, 1994, 1995.
The first woman ever to break 7,000 points in the heptathlon, JJK set the heptathlon world record three times and was also the former long jump world record holder (24-5.30). She was also a two-time 100m hurdle U.S. record holder, four-time U.S. long jump record holder, two-time U.S. 60m hurdles record holder and six-time and current U.S. indoor long jump record holder. She is the current U.S. indoor 50m hurdles (6.67), 55m hurdles (7.37) and 60m hurdles record holder. JJK was world-ranked three times at 100m hurdles, 11 times in the long jump (No. 1 three times) and 11 times in the heptathlon (No. 1 six times). On three different occasions (1986, 1987, 1994), she was the Track & Field News World Athlete of the Year and five times the top American (1986, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1994).
Following her retirement from the sport of track & field, JJK helped raise more than $12 million dollars to build the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Youth Center Foundation in her hometown of E. St. Louis, IL. Her other civic duties have included being chairperson of the St. Louis Sports Commission, and she is the co-founder of Jackie Joyner-Kersee racing (NASCAR). She was named the UCLA Alumnus of the Year in 2001 and was inducted into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2004 and the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 1996. Sports Illustrated recently named her the No. 1 Athlete of the Title IX Era.
Dr. Dot Richardson, Softball (1981-82-83)
One of the most recognizable names and faces in the sport of softball is Dot Richardson, a standout on UCLA's 1982 NCAA Championship team and two-time Olympic gold medalist (1996, 2000).
Richardson was an All-American for the Bruins from 1981-83 and led UCLA in hits and batting average each season. She hit above .300 all three seasons, including a career-best .379 batting average in her first year as a Bruin in 1981. She posted an astounding walk-to-strikeout ratio, drawing 73 walks to just 16 strikeouts in three campaigns. Richardson was named to the All-College World Series team in 1982 as a shortstop when the Bruins won the team's first NCAA title and again earned All-College World series honors in 1983 when the Bruins finished in third-place. Also in 1983, Richardson earned the All-University Athlete Award, sharing the honor with Jackie Joyner. As a Bruin freshman and senior, she was also a member of the UCLA women's basketball team.
A member of the U. S. National team program from 1979-2000, Richardson won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, captaining the U.S. team and hitting the game-winning home run in softball's debut year as an Olympic sport. In 2000, she led the U.S. to a repeat gold medal at the Sydney Olympic Games. Richardson represented the U.S. at five Pan American Games (1979, 1983, 1987, 1995, 1999) and four Women's World Championships (1982, 1986, 1990, 1994).
At the age of 13, Richardson became the youngest player in Amateur Softball Association (ASA) history to play in the ASA Women's Major Fast Pitch National Championship game. Richardson went on to become a 14-time ASA All-America selection. She earned seven ASA Best Defensive Player honors and three ASA National Championship Most Valuable Player awards. Following the 1996 campaign, Richardson was named the ASA Sportswoman of the Year.
Honored as the NCAA Player of the Decade for the 1980s, Richardson was the third Bruin softball player inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame (1996), and in 1999, her Bruin jersey #1 was retired. In 2006 she was enshrined in the ASA Hall of Fame.
While still playing softball, Richardson pursued a career in medicine. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Louisville in May of 1993 after previously obtaining a Master's degree from Adelphi and a B.S. degree from UCLA. She did her postdoctoral residence at USC/Los Angeles County Medical Center from July 1993 to June 1999 and for a year was an orthopedic sports medicine fellow at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles, CA. Since October 2001, Dr. Richardson has been the director/medical director at the South Lake Hospital/USA Triathlon National Training Center in Clermont, FL.
Richardson is currently commissioner of the Profastpitch X-treme Tour, has co-authored her autobiography, Living the Dream and was Vice Chairman of The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Don't call them WMDs!

Don't call them WMDs!
I was disturbed by the Justice Depertment spokesman claiming that the bombs used in Boston (Made with fireworks powder) should be labeled weapons of mass destruction.
I know I complain constantly, but this is something that must be addressed. Since the first time the term was used (1937 after bombing of Guernica Spain) it has changed until the modern definition is nuclear, chemical or biological. Not what is defined as a low (Compared to modern high) explosive device.
In other words, something that has a more far reaching affect than a simple iron bomb.
As much as it might sound like arrogance, the world tends to use our terms when they do something that we abhor. It wasn't until after Nurnberg that other nations (North Korea and Vietnam spring to mind) decided they had the right to try 'war criminals' for their crimes. Since in the two cases I mentioned, this was used as propaganda rather than factual legal meanings, it makes you wonder why we don't just shut the hell up.
For those who want to ignore what I am saying, think of this:
If the low explosive bombs set off in Boston are WMDs, then so is every bomb dropped by any man in the course of any war since the Spanish Civil War is a WMD. Every (Insert the nation you dislike) pilot who has dropped a
cluster bomb
used a WMD. Every one in an Artillery unit from the General who ordered the barrage down to the 'cannon cockers' deployed WMDs. For that matter, grunt carrying a Claymore is bearing a WMD.
Bad enough? No? Remember Nick Berg?
. He was 'executed' after the events at Abu Graib hit the world press. Ignore the fact that the US government had already investigated and arrested the perpetrators, demoting the Brigadier General who was in charge of the Prison. Ignore the fact that the very release of the photos (With the American faces shown) tainted the evidence badly enough that the full weight of the military legal system could not be brought to bear.
For that matter, ignore the fact that it wasn't a cover up as the Press claimed, it was a legitimate ongoing investigation that under both military
civil law here in the US must be kept from the press because anything published is automatically tainted and cannot be used during the trial. Think instead of a little remembered rule of International law:
If your enemy violates international law, you are allowed to ignore that specific rule. The reason the British began blowing German cities to hell during WWII was because
German bomber jettisoned it's bombs over a civilian area, and the Brits replied by carpet bombing six German
.Every person in Occupied Europe and England who died from the later bombings can be linked to that one
Now jump to 2004. Terrorists kidnap Berg, then, in retaliation for Abu Ghraib, cut off his head with a bayonet and published the video of that action.
Do you want some poor kid captured by terrorists judged guilty and executed because some bureaucrat can't keep his mouth shut?
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?
From the one who brought you;
What we die for...
