TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 5 August 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430805-TC-JWC-01; CL 17: 13-16
Scotsbrig, Ecclefechan, 5 Augt (Saturday Evg), 1843—
My Dearest,
Here I am since yesternight, a most wearied tide-tossed man; and proceed to despatch you a line significant of that fact, there being hardly any other to signify.
I took leave of Maryland Street and all the remaining Cousins at their hour of bedtime on Thursday evening; and stept over to Chorley, who is a late sitter, and had invited me for that hour. Walter M'Gregor had been with us; looking much better than formerly, tho' limping with a lamed shin at present. Little Jeannie and all the Cousins parted from me with kind wishes and, I do believe, hospitable hearts: the Doctor had come over to fetch me; and so towards midnight we wended along Rodney Street; found Chorley with his lights all trimmed, and a small supper-collation on the table, which being declined he at once removed it, and substituted cigars and mere conversation in its stead. His conversation was not bad; two o'clock came on, and we all sallied forth to the slumberous streets again, and my two guides landed me at last in the Chaos of the Victoria Steamer, and took their leave. In the Victoria Steamer, it was, as I say, Chaos; cloudy, dim, bewildered, half-asleep more than half drunk;—altogether like a nasty damp, clammy Dream of confusion, dirt, impediment and general nightmare. I had no bed; could hear no tidings of my luggage till a drunk sailor helped me to find it—it will be a winter evening's tale for us some time! All well, if it end well. At half past three in a rainless but thoroughly drenched morning we got into the Mersey Stream; and I, at liberty now to smoke at least (for in the Dock they permit no fire, no light that is not sealed within a bottle) took leave of Liverpool, gazing on it in the ghastly damp dawn really with some interest. I could have staid longer, had not my "constitution" been so bad,—nay, had I not spurred myself up with the greatest severity to shake away idleness, and keep my set time. All regrets, suggestions &c I could not but admit to be mere indolence, lazinness, on my part; and therefore I had spurned them out of doors.
The voyage itself, thanks to a bright sunshine all day, was far tolerabler than it promised to be: nay, in spite as it were of very fate, I snatched some five hours of sleep at various dates, from various shelves and benches;—I on the whole fared well enough. My poor native Annandale never looked so impressive to me that I remember. Black rain curtains hung all around; but there, when I saw it, was a kind of bewept brightness: all seemed so small, remote, eternally foreign; I said to myself, "There among these poor knolls thy life-journeyings commenced, my man; there didst thou begin, in this outskirt of Creation; and thou hast wandered very far since then,—far as Eternity and Hades, so to speak, since then!"—
Nobody was there to receive me; Jamie's Letter, owing to the Liverpool Post-Office which is not equal to the London one, had not reached him, tho' he inquired for it, at the time set. I got a kind of gig straightway at Benson's Inn, and came hither to kind welcome, to dinner, tea and sleep, all in the lump almost. My determination is to rest here for a space; I feel quite smashed, done up, and pressingly in need to pause and do nothing whatever.
I have spread out my things; cut up even a piece of my Iceland Grammar; I sit in the little easternmost room, saved from interruption; I really will rest now. My poor Mother is very cheery; but very pale, thin, and has evidently been suffering much since I saw her. She speaks about Alick and all manner of things quite composedly; sees clearly that there was the finger of Necessity in it, and no remonstrance to be made. Jenny is here; very active, orderly; and has her two poor little lassies in good trim, in right obedience; today I heard her teaching them to read,—poor little Jenny. Isabella is fallen worse again; is kept mostly in bed, thro' sheer weakness, they have a wet-nurse for the infant: Jamie goes on in the old cheerfully stoical manner in these "worst of times."— I declare I am sorry for all people! Yesterday, was and1 old dirty feckless-looking man in tattered straw-hat sitting in the Steamer, notable to me all day; at night a rugged hearty kind of old woman came on deck, who proved to be his wife: they had been in America, where all their children 11 in number were, "but the auld man, ye seiy, wadna bide," tho' they had sent for him; and so here he was with his old dame come daundering back again to beggary and the Hawick2 native soil! Poor old devil, I was heartily sorry for him;—and the sturdy old wife I honoured her as a true heart of oak, the main stay of her old man, who grinned intelligence as he saw Scotch land again. Their goods were in certain duddy pokes [ragged cloth bags] and one old painted chest, of which the woman carried the key; her sturdy way of undoing the padlock had first attracted my attention to her. Is not life a "joyous" kind of thing to this old woman? "I declare I'se quite shamed," she said, "to gang hame sae dirty: a's dirty, and I could get nothing washed!"— —
O Goody, why do I twaddle to thee about all and sundry in this manner! Really silence would be preferable, and the saving of a penny stamp. I shall perhaps grow a shade sensibler now that I am left a little to myself. For one thing I decide not to write so often.
Art thou gone to Ryde? What art thou doing; what is all the world doing? There will be no Letter tonight, I fear;—but tomorrow! And next day—or at latest Tuesday, the day after that!
Adieu, dear Goody; the tea is ready, and Jamie's messenger to Ecclefechan. All salute you here. Good be ever with you, Dearikin!

(Video update) Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross vows to deliver a winner
The long-awaited media roundtable is over.
It lasted nearly 40 minutes in a cramped, second-floor board room at the Dolphins' Davie facility, and the three principals of this strange, strange week in Miami Dolphins history all appear to be, as Tony Sparano just said, "in a happy place."
Sparano got that two-year extension through 2013 that we reported to you last night, plus an "expanded role" in personnel decisions. The Dolphins coach also gets to pick the new offensive coordinator now that Dan Henning has officially moved on.
General Manager Jeff Ireland, who essentially issued a public apology to Sparano for failing to better maintain the "lines of communication" during the hastily arranged pursuit of former Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, still maintains final say in personnel matters. He also earned loyalty points from his boss by accompanying Dolphins owner Steve Ross on that plane to California, even though Ireland maintains he was telling Ross all along that Sparano was the best coach for this team.
And Ross, well, he can laugh at his naive missteps now that the day has been saved, a peace has been brokered between Sparano and Ireland and the Dolphins can proceed with the business of fixing the offense, selling tickets and winning games — hey, maybe even some home games!
The final question of the session pressed Ross on the issue of how the Dolphins are supposed to energize their fan base now that they are essentially offering a continuation of the "status quo."
"If we were coming back to be the same ol', same ol', it wouldn't be acceptable to me, nor should it be to the fans," Ross said. "I think the plan — and I told Tony I wanted to hear what he had to say, his input — it had to be something to me that I thought would create a winning team. Certainly the emphasis is going to be on offense – an exciting offense, more aggressive offense, creative."
There will be changes. Don't worry. And they will go well beyond the loss of Henning, with quarterbacks coach David Lee and tight ends coach George DeLeone (spotted taking a handful of street clothes out to his car this morning) likely to join him out the door.
"I think to continue doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity," Ross said. "This is one thing: I don't think I'm insane yet. I believe during the next weeks, as it unfolds, the things that we're doing, I think that's the important thing today. To talk about the last five days is something I think, after reading everything I read, needed to be heard and said to really put down those rumors and implied innuendoes that existed.
"Everything I did was really because I wanted a winner, just like the fans do, and to talk to what are considered the highest, best coaches, I don't think that's … I think the fans like that. And like I said, would I go about it [differently] now, having been here once before? Yeah, I'd go about it differently. But I think the fans can come to expect an exciting team.
"I will deliver a winner. That is my commitment."
More to come on this blog in the coming hours and days, but for a quick blow-by-blow from the news conference, please check out my Twitter feed.
But for now, your thoughts on how the Dolphins emerge from this week they'd all rather forget? And specifically how did Ross' final volley of words leave you feeling about the team's prospects moving forward?
Are you more or less confident in the team's direction having heard his version of events?

How can you look at these boots and now want Fall to arrive? I want to put on these boots and run through the woods stomping through piles of autumn leaves. I'm not kidding. I just got an excited feeling for fall to arrive, especially since this fall we will be back up north.
These boots are all kinds of amazing. I am more of a black leather girl, but when it comes to fall, I crave deep dark brown hues. The Chloe Wool Lined Leather Boots are pretty much the most fashionable and functional pair of knee-high boots I have seen in a long time.
Typically I would totally turn my head from purchasing a pair of $1,100 boots. Not today. I keep feeling my fingers trying to click through to buy these boots. Are these not stunning? I want to keep typing words like beautiful, must-have, gorgeous, wearable, I NEED THESE.
Not only are they easy to look at, but these Chloe shoes just need to be pulled on. This is a majorly plus. I have owned boots that are quite hard to put on, liking putting on a pair of super skinny jeans, where you need to wiggle and squirm while jumping and doing a backward split. Having the ability to just pull on boots is a major plus.
The outward design is very alluring. The dark brown leather is accented with criss-cross leather straps and gold-tone buckle detailing. The additional touch that stands out and ensures your feet will be warm is the wool fold-over panel at the top. I never put much aside for shoes, but it looks like I will need to figure these shoes into my fall accessory budget. Buy via Net A Porter for $1,195.

Disease Proof
Protect Your Bones Without Drugs!
Most people mistakenly are led to believe that drugs are the answer to treating osteopenia and osteoporosis. However, studies reveal that the bisphosphonates, like Actonel, Fosamax, Boniva, and Reclast, commonly prescribed for osteoporosis, are not as effective as we have been led to believe. As more and more research data comes out about the long-term risks of these medications, we are finding out that they are more dangerous than we had previously thought.
I want to give people the information they need to put an effective plan into action. In this video, I offer my advice regarding diet, supplements, and exercise. I am joined by my wife, Lisa, and staff to demonstrate the best exercises to effectively build your strength and bone mass. We've even added a fun 15 minute workout to start you on your way. Now is the time to take control of your health destiny!
You'll learn more in my DVD Osteoporosis Protection for Life:
- Get the best bone building exercises to do anywhere
- Build strong muscles
- Avoid high risk medications
- Learn common dietary causes of bone loss
Start building healthier, stronger bones now! Here's a preview clip of Osteoporosis Protection for Life.

I Have purchased Dr. Fuhrman's DVD and am very enthused (66 yrs old and am changing my life style re Dr. Fuhrman's advice.) However I have dentures and am told the bone underlying the lower dentures is very thin and probably thinning. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Will strict adherence to "the diet" be enough. Thank you for this and all your wonderful, inspiring advice.
A healthy diet will not strengthen those bones. It is very important that the amount of Vitamin D supplementation is adequate and confirmed so with a blood test. It is also important that the fit of the dentures be checked periodically by the dentist.
On DrFuhrman.com, I answer people's health and nutrition questions in my member center there. There are thousands of
members who enjoy his input and the informative and supportive services there to help people obtain great health.
Who needs to spend money on pharmaceuticals when we can spend money on Joel Furhman's products instead!

Jason's Deli Sandwich Shuffle
Jason's Deli prides itself in providing fresh and natural ingredients, and the freedom to choose, which is how their first online promotion did just that. Jason's Deli chose QSI to design and program the Jason's Deli Sandwich Shuffle Competition. Contestants were encouraged to create a dream sandwich with great ingredients for a chance to win monetary prizes, as well as becoming the creator of the next new Jason's Deli sandwich. Being new to this genre, Jason's Deli wanted a site that was easy for customers to create their sandwiches (no matter the device), share with others and return to vote as the contest progressed. QSI designed the site to be device responsive (scalable and mobile friendly), and added features so that each sandwich would have its own URL for sharing. Jason's Deli was able to access daily statistics in its custom administrator tool, as well as, pull winners for its weekly giveaway. In addition to the design and programming, QSI managed the contest's customer care to field questions or problems. This project was honored at the 2012 IABC Dallas Quill Awards with an Award of Excellence.

KHL president downplays Jagr rumours
Continental Hockey League president Alexander Medvedev on Wednesday vehemently denied speculation Jaromir Jagr might be joining the Edmonton Oilers.
Continental Hockey League president Alexander Medvedev on Wednesday vehemently denied speculation Jaromir Jagr might be joining the Edmonton Oilers.
"Mr. Jagr played today for Avangard,'' said Medvedev, in New York to watch Wednesday night's Washington Capitals-New York Rangers game, told ESPN.com. "Legally, he has a contract. It would surprise me if it was really true that Edmonton tried to negotiate a deal with Mr. Jagr. I don't like those rumours. But Edmonton publicly announced it wasn't the case."
Jagr is signed for "two years plus one (option)," the KHL president added. "And there is no out clause (in the contract)."
Medvedev also pointed out that ex-Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery ended his week-long holdout and rejoined Mytishchi Atlant on Wednesday.
"He reported back today," Medvedev said. "It would be good if Mr. Emery settled his grievance with the club. But it's an internal matter of the club."
The NHL's refusal to commit to the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, is an annoyance to Medvedev.
"I believe it would not only be anti-sport, but antihuman to prevent the best players from the NHL from going to the Olympics," Medvedev said.
"There should be no place for the blackmail of the Olympic Games. I will not hide this frustration."
Jackets' minds on playoffs
The Columbus Blue Jackets find themselves in unfamiliar territory this season — playoff contention.
That means no dog days for the NHL_club this time around.
"It's usually this time between Games 45 and 60 for me," Jackets defenceman Mike Commodore told the Columbus Dispatch. "You lose that excitement from the start of the season, but you're still not really that close to the stretch run. It can drag."
But not this season, as the Jackets were in an eighth-place tie with the Minnesota Wild entering Thursday night action. The top eight teams in the Western Conference make the playoffs and only nine points separated fifth-place Dallas Stars from 15th-place St. Louis Blues.
"All you have to do is look at the standings and see why every game is so important," Jackets forward Fredrik Modin told the paper. "You can't afford to let up."
"In our conference, we could go 7-3 or 8-3 and not create any separation, it's so tight," Commodore said.
"I'm so tired of the dogpile that I'm just focused on us now," Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock told the paper. "I just think all 15 (conference) teams are going to be there until the bitter end."
Chelios aims for 2010 Olympics
Detroit Red Wings defenceman Chris Chelios is hoping to play in his fifth Olympic Games at Vancouver 2010.
"I'm not counting anything out," the 47-year-old Chelios told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Realistically right now, it's no. But next year, things could change."
But even if he's not there in 2010 as a player, Chelios would relish a different position with Team USA.
"I've always said I'd like to be involved in some capacity," Chelios said. "I've known (2010 Team USA general manager) Brian Burke for a long time, and we've had a brief conversation about that."
Dallas Stars' veteran Mike Modano would also relish another shot at Olympic glory.
"It matters how I feel the year leading up to it and, so far this year, I've felt pretty good," said Modano. "If I come out and have a decent first half of the season next year and things go well, hopefully, you put a little thought into their head about possibly selecting you. That would be great."
Lemaire laughs off mishap
Minnesota Wild coach Jacques Lemaire was in good spirits Wednesday, a day after forward Antti Miettinen ran into him at practice. X-rays on Lemaire's left shoulder indicated no damage despite a nasty fall to the ice.
"They tried to get rid of me, but they can't," he joked to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Lemaire, 63, said he should resume shooting pucks within two or three days.
"I got half a wing," Lemaire said. "But I wasn't laughing (Tuesday) between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m."
Lemaire said he was at fault for turning his back on a drill while standing along the boards.
"After, I don't know, 2,000 practices you think that you're OK and nothing's going to happen," Lemaire said. "A lot of times it comes close, but it doesn't happen. But (Tuesday) it did happen. . . . Away I went."
Fortunately, Lemaire, who was not wearing a helmet, did not hit his head.
"You see me with a helmet?" Lemaire asked. "The guys would have a ball."
Gionta makes like power forward
New Jersey Devils right-winger Brian Gionta definitely took his ugly pills prior to Wednesday night's game against the New York Islanders.
The five-foot-seven, 175-pounder first clobbered Islanders defenceman Jack Hillen into the boards. Later, a collision with Doug Weight resulted in the Islanders veteran centre suffering a knee injury.
"I saw (Weight) went off," Gionta told the Newark Star Ledger. "We kind of collided. I didn't know what he hit or tweaked."
Gionta said "I finally got in a good hit" on Hillen.
Gionta wasn't bragging about an accidental hit on linesman Pierre Champoux, though.
"I forgot about that," Gionta said.
He said it:
"Jobs, especially mine. I would think pride. We're all getting paid. We owe it to the Atlanta fans to play as good as we can." — Head coach John Anderson on what's on the line for the Atlanta Thrashers, who are all but eliminated from playoff contention
"We didn't deserve to win, but Khabbi put on a show. He was spectacular and the reason why we won. We weren't at our best, but Khabbi was.'' —_Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, following a 36-save performance by goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin in Wednesday night's 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers
Ice chips:
New Jersey Devils Brendan Shanahan played in his 1,500th NHL game against the New York Islanders on Wednesday night, making him only the 12th player in league history to reach the mark. . . . Philadelphia Flyers centre Danny Briere, who underwent groin surgery on Jan. 22, is hoping to be back by Feb. 25.

"Doug Unplugs on the Farm" by Dan Yaccarino sends a message we all approve of: sometimes you just have to turn off the TV and the computer and learn by doing something in real life.
Doug, a robot, and his robot parents are going to visit the grandbots. On the way, his parents tell him to plug in so he can learn all about farms on the computer while they are passing real farms.
And just as Doug is learning about how dogs can herd sheep, a real herd of sheep run into the road and their car runs into a ditch. Everyone becomes unplugged.
Not only does Doug help the farmgirl round up the sheep, he helps her with all her chores. He knows that milk comes from cows, but he gets to milk a cow in real life. And he also gets to pick apples and smell farmyard smells.
And even when their car is back on the road, thanks to some quick thinking on Doug's part, he decides not to plug in. He is thinking of the stories he'll have to tell his grandbots.
This book would be wonderful for parents and teachers to use when discussing the difference between learning about something online and learning about something by doing it.
For example, you can read about mixing paints and getting other colors from red, yellow and blue, but actually doing the mixing allows kids to experiment and see all the variations of colors.
It's also a great tool to use when telling kids to put away the smart phone or computer. "Unplug," parents or teachers can say, "Just like Doug."
This book is the second in the "Doug Unplugged" series.

A two-vehicle wreck at 6:30 a.m. this morning killed an Amarillo woman and hospitalized an Amarillo man.
Ruthie Gooden, 54, was driving a Mazda 626 northbound on Highway 136 near the Asarco plant, north of Amarillo, when her vehicle was struck head-on by a vehicle being driven by Jeremy Taylor, said Department of Public Safety Trooper Wayne Beighle.
Taylor, 24, was driving a Chrysler Stratus southbound on Highway 136 when he struck and killed a coyote, Beighle said. Taylor veered into the northbound lane, Beighle said, striking Gooden's vehicle head-on and causing it to catch fire.
No other vehicles were involved in the wreck.
Gooden was airlifted to Northwest Texas Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after arriving, Beighle said.
Taylor also was transported to Northwest with non-life threatening injuries.
Beighle said the incident is under investigation.
Funeral services for Gooden are pending with Golden Gate Mortuary.

A lawsuit filed against the United States by Norma Montano alleges that Jonathan Montano, her 65-year-old husband of 44 years, was beaten to death by Veterans Administration hospital guards after he waited hours for dialysis treatment, the Courthouse News Service reported Sunday.
The lawsuit says Montano suffered a stroke and died on June 11, 2011 after his carotid artery was stomped by guards at the hospital. Worse yet, the lawsuit alleges hospital staff lied about what happened.
According to Montano, her husband grew tired of waiting for treatment and decided to go to another VA facility, but was told by nursing staff not to leave.
"Jonathan Montano told the nurse that he was leaving and was going to the VA Hospital in Long Beach, California, [and that] he wanted to leave the needle apparatus [a shunt] in his arm, so they wouldn't have to put a new one in at the Long Beach VA Hospital," the complaint says.
When Montano insisted on leaving, VA staff at the Loma Linda, Calif., facility, called VA police.
"The summoned VA Police Department police officers then stopped Jonathan Montano from leaving the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, by tackling him to the floor, slamming his head on the floor, and kneeing and stomping on his neck, and otherwise brutalizing and restraining him," the lawsuit adds.
As a result of the brutal treatment he received on May 25, 2011, the lawsuit alleges, Montano developed a clot that ultimately resulted in his death.
"Moreover, the brutalization of Jonathan Montano resulted in him suffering other serious physical injuries, and associated physical, mental and emotional pain, suffering and distress," the complaint says.
During the confrontation, Montano was outside wondering what had happened to her husband. She went inside and was told by a member of the nursing staff that her husband had suffered a stroke. According to the complaint, an emergency room doctor reportedly said "that her husband had fallen down and suffered a stroke, an untrue statement."
Nursing stall allegedly pulled Montano aside and said her husband did not suffer a fall, "but was slammed to the ground by the VA Police, that Norma Montano was being lied to, and that it wasn't right what the VA Police did to Jonathan Montano."
Courthouse News said Montano is seeking damages and punitive damages for wrongful death, assault and battery, false imprisonment, constitutional violations, negligence, loss of consortium and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Montano's son, and daughter are also named as plaintiffs.
The lawsuit comes on heels of news that a number of veterans have died as a result of long waits at VA hospitals, although Montano says her husband died as a result of police brutality, Raw Story said.

There are some films that are just plain fun...Whether it's logical or unique isn't important. You just go along for the ride...
And 'Non-Stop' is one entertaining ride
The film, directed by Jjaume Collet-Serra ('Orphan' and 'Unknown') stars the always wonderful, Liam Neeson, as alcoholic, Federal Air Marshal, Bill Marks flying from New York to London.
It's obvious from the first scene, that this is one guy, struggling with more than a few demons and things are about to get worse for him.
Once the plane is in the air, Bill gets a series of text messages, informing him, that unless 150 million dollars is transferred into a numbered account, a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes.
Bill has to decide pretty quickly, if this threat is real. He also has decide whom he can trust.
Julianne Moore, a fellow passenger, seems the likely choice, but as it turns out, nothing is as it seems.
'Non Stop' is filled with twists, turns, major action, some great fight scenes and several interesting characters, including Corey Stoll as a NYPD cop, Lupita Nyong'o ('12 Years A Slave') as a last minute replacement crew member and Michelle Dockery ('Downton Abbey') as a gusty flight attendant.
'Non Stop' opens in theatres, Friday February 28, 2013 and if you want an entertaining experience that doesn't require too much thinking, then go see it.
I gave 'Non Stop' 31/2 bagels out of 5.

AppStream DEP11 Implementation
Milán Unicsovics
Abstract: The aim of the project is to implement AppStream on Debian. The AppStream project is a cross distribution effort that provides metadata about available applications, which metadata can help to create a common application installer for all distribution. My work is to extend Debian Archive Kit (dak) with a DEP-11 generator.
Here is my proposal on Debian's Wiki.

NATICK, Mass. — It's not every day that you see Soldiers throwing grenades at Natick Soldier Systems Center.
As Marilyn Sharp of the Military Performance Division of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at NSSC pointed out, however, that unusual sight, March 8, on a driveway beside the Barnes Building was all about finding better ways to measure Soldier performance.
"We're always interested in how a Soldier can perform," said Sharp, a research exercise scientist at USARIEM's MPD. "Often, they use the Army Physical Fitness Test as a measure of performance, but what does that really tell us about the type of things the Soldiers have to do?"
Because combat places little emphasis on what the APFT measures — sit-ups, push-ups and two-mile run — Sharp began to look at other avenues.
"The purpose of this study was to come up with some measurements that we thought would represent things that Soldiers really have to do," Sharp said.
According to Leila Walker, a physiological research technician with MPD, the first phase of the study began in 2006.
"We looked at seven different tests to find a battery of the most reliable, repeatable tests," Walker recalled. "After doing all the analysis, we found that the most reliable ones were these four that we're doing now."
In addition to the grenade throw, those tests include a running long jump while wearing a helmet and vest, a box lift, and a two-mile ruck march with full gear.
"This is the second phase of the study," Walker said. "This test battery gives a better assessment of Soldiering (performance), versus doing push-ups and sit-ups."
So on a mild March day, five Soldiers took turns lobbing inert grenades toward an orange target placed 30 meters down the driveway. Numbered orange traffic cones marked the grenades' landing spots.
After completing that test, the Soldiers moved indoors to the long jump and box lift before grabbing their gear for the ruck march. The series of tests, administered four times over five weeks, ultimately will involve more than 40 Soldiers.
"We also collect laboratory measures of physical fitness," Sharp said. "We want to see how laboratory measures correlate with the Soldier performance tests."
Some of the tests are already being used by the Army and Marine Corps, but Sharp pointed out that further study is needed.
"You have to establish that this is a reliable measure," Sharp said. "If I measure you four different times over a prolonged time period, and I haven't changed anything about your training or about your diet or anything else, you should get a fairly close score each time.
"There's been a lot of interest in this. The test battery could also be used to determine if a Soldier is fit enough to return to duty following an injury."

Electrical Wiring
Did you know your home has a central nervous system? Hidden within those walls lies a network of wires running from a brain (the fuse box) to nerve endings throughout the house. Those nerve endings are visible to us in the form of switches, outlets, light fixtures and other electrical devices.
It is this series of wires that keeps your house up and running, that puts lighting and safety for any room in your immediate control. Modern wiring and electrical ingenuity are making that brain and those nerves smarter as well—timers, motion sensors and programmable lighting ensure that those nerve endings are as responsive as they can be.
The following set of articles in the CalFinder Electrical Library will venture into the system that is electrical wiring. In addition to upgrades, such as timers and motion sensors, we'll explore types of switches, outlets and even remote controls. In the end, it'll all add up to a healthy, energy efficient and on-demand central nervous system.

Even though Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel most likely could have convinced his 50-person City Council - all fellow Democrats - to go along with a move to increase the city's minimum wage for city contract workers, following the lead of his former boss – President Barack Obama – Emanuel took out his pen to make an executive order. Pundits and critics alike are saying the near-obvious. They are saying that Emanuel is blatantly and desperately trying to improve his incredibly low job approval rating among the masses, according to a Chicago Tribune report on Wednesday.
Emanuel, who is up for re-election early next year for continuing his reign as mayor of Chicago, performed for the press and cameras by signing his executive order publicly. During the orchestrated performance, Emanuel said that this is a down payment and an effort to make sure the city of Chicago is on record to raising the minimum wage to $13 just like the president did on the national level. Emanuel may very well find himself going rogue as far as linking himself to President Barack Obama these days. Like Emanuel, Obama's approval rating has tanked.
Beyond linking himself to Obama, Emanuel said that he is taking the steps in the city of Chicago to make sure that if you work, your kids aren't raised in poverty, your paycheck pays, you get a raise and that the city has the policies that set a clear priority. Again, it is said that Emanuel would have had no problem convincing his 50 aldermen – all Democrats like he is – to go along with the move, yet he chose to grab the much-needed positive headline by himself. The move, nonetheless, increases the pay rate 9 percent from $11.93 to $13 an hour, according to the Sun-Times.
While Chicago's incredible crime rate and recent murders are what are on most Chicagoans' minds, Emanuel has consistently kept his efforts on minimum wage recently – which concerns many. In recent times, he has appeared at a series of events regarding minimum wage. He has recently appeared with Vice President Joe Biden and New York Mayor Bill deBlasio regarding the public-popular issue.
Emanuel is predicted to face an uphill battle in the next mayoral election in Chicago. Though his competitors are not decided as of yet, Emanuel has been his own worst enemy with Chicagoans' massive discontent with 50 school closings in the past year. Also, the city's speed camera program – an extremely unpopular Emanuel initiative – has been labeled nothing more than another money-grab by Emanuel. Also, the public concerns over the ill-performing red light cameras have increased as courts have stepped in to issue unsuspecting travelers in the city their deserved refunds.

Images of the Loch Ness Monster have been spotted on Apple maps -- at least that's what some people believe. According to ABC News, photos of something floating near the surface of the North End of Loch Ness, a fresh water lake. Many who have looked at the images have concluded that they depict the Loch Ness Monster.
The images have been studied for months -- blown up and really dissected. Those who believe that the Loch Ness Monster exists believe that the new images only proves these theories. Since no one has been able to prove otherwise, Nessie-believers really think they are on to something.
If the Loch Ness Monster is on Apple maps, it will be hard to prove. Just because the image can't be clearly made out doesn't automatically mean that it depicts the creature (which some people don't even exists to begin with). However, since there isn't a good explanation for the pictures that just adds to the speculation.
"The interesting thing is that nobody has been able to explain what it is. It's pretty large, so it's not a seal or an otter. It's also not a whale or basking shark as some people claim, because they wouldn't go in fresh water," explained founder and president of The Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, Glen Campbell.
More on the Loch Ness Monster on Apple maps can be seen in the video above.

how to deal with up and down feeling after separation
Posted Jan 31, 2009 11:09am by escil`
I have been recently separated and have been trying to cope up with that separation through working (extra hours), texting my friends and relatives, surfing the net, and praying. I have been trying to keep myself busy as much as I can because whenever I am alone in my pad, I tend to miss my husband and just cry there. However, there are instances that even though I am busy working in the office, I will have this feeling of loneliness and I suddenly miss my husband and lose my focus on my work. My friends have been telling me to forget him and move on, but I don't know why I keep on remembering him…sometimes I feel okay but sometimes I feel numb and would just cry. Do you have any suggestions for this? Kindly help me.

I'm so sorry you are going through this bad time. I wish there
were magic words. Many of us have been there and understand the
grief you feel over your marriage. Keep praying and be kind to
yourself. Find healthy things to comfort you. Write in your journal
and know happier days are ahead. God is with you everyday and I
will keep you in my prayers. Take care.

Dear Escil. I too feel the same way. I just recently separated with my wife. Long story-short, after 8 years of marriage, she told me that she is not really that in-love with me. Sometimes she said that she really HATE me a lot. I too carry the burden everyday.. I sometimes just cry inside too.. nothing really seems to help. just hang in there.. i guess.. thats all we can do.. Let God take the wheel and let Him guide us where He wants us to be.. Goodluck and God Bless.

Hey, I've been broken up from my fiancee for almost 7 months now. I wish I could tell you it got easy for me at a certain point. The best I can do right now is not think about him for a day or two, and consider that a victory. Also, never hurts to make a list of the things he did wrong. Too often, we tend to dwell on "the void" left, without realizing there is a pretty good reason for why it's gone! My other advice is to stay busy. You may have no interest in dating, but just getting outside of the house helps ease any depression. My 2 cents :)

I highly reccomend a Healing Minister in your community and if
you were here with me I would take you to one myself that is in my
area. However what I will do fo you now is pray strongly for your
needs as you must also have faith that you will overcome.

I'm sorry to read of the pain you are going through. Although I
haven't lost a spouse, I have lost loved ones, and been rejected by
family. Of course when you've given yourself completely to someone
as with a mate, I would imagine it's like losing half of yourself.
I would like to suggest that each of you remember that before
becoming "one" with your mate, you were a whole person, standing on
your own. Perhaps if you try to reconnect with that person you
were. Remember what you loved about yourself or yourindependence,
or whatever you're life was like at that time. If your life wasn't
so great as a single, then consider this a second chance to enjoy
independence. You werw wonderfully created as an individual. Before
you became someone's mate, you were God's masterpiece. Your
identity isn't in that person, but in yourself. And your like can
be wonderful again, even if you remain single. Reach inside
yourself and find the loving caring person you know you are. Then
start speading that love and care all over the people you come into
contact with each day. If you have lost interest in going anywhere,
actively seek out someone who you believe you can bless. Contact
that person and do something that will make them feel loved and
cared for. Even if you've been mistreated and forsaken, you haven't
lost your ability to be appreciated by others. Remember God will
never leave you. He's the only one that can and should be totally
depended on. He's the only one capable of living up to our
expectations. I wish you all the best.

I have been separated almost 3 years and finally now am in the
middle of a divorce. Although it was my choice to leave I still
feel that void or emptiness. Both myself and my husband cheated. I
got tired of feeling alone and he never understood. He was selfish
and still is. Even with our children. My daughters still wonder

Im going through pretty much the same thing, I went to my Dr. and was prescribed meds for the depression and lack of sleep. My husband of 14 years decided to walk away from our marriage about 4 weeks ago, Ive offered to see counseling, therapy what ever it took to try to work it out. He wasnt the best guy in the world but I said "from death do us part" and I meant it. I had many flaws and i had my work cut out for me to fix my end of the relationship, but he isnt interested at all and in fact he is already dating and wanting to take our 3 kids on a hike with her and her 2 kids.

It's ironic that I was 18 when I met him. i feel like a failure and haven't stopped crying and hardly eating. i feel like a loved one has died and it hurts so bad. I'm sorry we are going through this pain. i have made mistakes and so did he. Lord knows we have been through hell and back, i thought we could face anything, but i guess not. i will love him till the day i die.

how to deal with up and down feeling after separation
Posted Aug 4, 2010 7:40am by `
Hi everyone I have been seperated from my husband for 4 months
now. we were in a relationship and then married for a year and 2
months. it is not easy getting over someone you love, I cry alot. I
can relate to many of you who have posted. I suffered alot of
verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of my husband and his
interferring parents. they were rude to me after we were married,
and wanted to keep my weight under a certain level, they felt I was
not competetent as a wife, and made it their mission to change me.
My husband wanted the house to be absolutely spotless everyday when
he came home from work. My inlaws asked me if I ever considered
getting a breast reduction as I was carrying around alot of weight,
when I came to see them they would be critical about what i was
wearing, and on one ocassion my father in law told me I looked like
a call girl and made me put on my mother in laws blouse as it was
loose fitting, my husband did not stick up for me at that point and
I was humilitated. I was called psycho etc from my husband, he was
not happy with anything I did, and seemed to have issues himself,
sometimes I felt that he still wanted to be a batchelor and not a
married man. my inlaws were angry if we did not visit them every
few weeks, we had a life too you know. but they didn't realise
that. On the day before my husband dumped me he could not make up
his mind what he wanted and poured his heart out to me then we made
love then in the afternoon we went and had coffee and had a nice
time shopping just like old times. he said we could work through
our issues and he still loved me. Load of shit because the day
after he spoke to his parents on the phone for 2 hours and then
came out and told me that the relationship was over. he then said
he did not care if I was raped or killed or murdered as I said I
needed to get some cat food and would go out of the house that
night. He said he did not care what happened to me. I was very
upset. from that time on the love had gone and I tried to make him
see me but nothing I did made a difference and he was not attracted
to my body anymore etc. I am still scarred by this experience 4
months on, it has affected me to the degree that my life and every
day activities have been put on hold as i can not cope with being
away from the man I still love even though I am angry with. He was
more concerned about pleasing his parents and less concerned about
keeping his marriage together. I meant my vows on my wedding day
but I do not know if he meant his!

I can truly relate to alot that I read. I have been or would of have been married 13 years. If you knew us you would of never thought we would of been one of the ones in this situation, I sure didnt. It happend quick, but so slow. I am in the middel of finishing my clinical rotations, bad timing. What makes it worse is our three childern, they cry and ask me questions, that have I have no answers for them. You as a parent want to be able to prtoect and comfort your childern at any cost, but when you cant, that hits home and truly hurts. My wife did not want to go back to college, but had decided to make a carrer change, law enforcement. The first 6 weeks of the program was fine, the phone calls hey how are, just seeing how your doing and I love, stopped. A week later she had asked me to leave, I came home the next day we talked try to resolve issues. That weekend we talked about us and what was going on, she had told me she had started getting feelings for this guy, what to do. I told her to end it, before it destroyed the family, she said she would. That weekend after we talked was beautiful like old times me, her, and our three kids. That following Monday I called to ask if she ended it she said no. That was the start of the end, so fast but so painful. Now she lays all the fault on me, tells me she has not been in love with me for years. She tells me to forget us like she has, like we never existed with the exception of the childern. How does a person do this, and not show any emotions or reflection. I still would give my life for her and love her, she says that means nothing to her, that hurts. People say forget and move on, most of them dont know what there talking about if they were truly in love I feel. This has been as bad if not worst than a death. With out God and my childern I dont know what would happen to me, I still want to hold on so bad, but I know I have to let go some day. It is so hard when at times we can talk and there feels like some sort of of hope and then she says dont think about us, I have done the things I have done to hurt you. She is right about that, she is not the person I married or was in love with, she onlys carries my wifes body. I ask that person if she sees my wife, my freind to tell her I say hello. All I know is to pray and hold tight what you have left.

its very hard to let go,especially if you really loved your
husband,after 4 years im still trying to move on,doesnt matter how
busy or how many freinds i have it doesnt make any differance,i
tried working things out with him but he just wont respond,we
seperated because he cheated but for our loves sake i wanted to
erase everything and start fresh,but nothing seems to change,i dont
have any interest in other men,and nothing in this world seems
real,sometimes i feel like im in a dream.i cry suddenly to the
slightest thing that i see on tv or to the music i hear,i know you
might im a bit of a loser but im not,im simply a normal person that
really misses my husband presence and hes voice.he has nothing,no
money no property whats over yet to me hes special.if only he could
see what im going through

thanks be strong for helping me with your advise,your story was
sad as well,i guess like you said time heals but the scare is will
always remain,at least you get to see your wife and talk to her,i
havent seen him for 4 years,he just wont respond to my text
messages,or when he does its simply an answer with no feeling in
the text,he knows im not a bad person and i havent done anything
wrong to him,and we were happy in general,but i think he feels too
ashamed and probably feels hes not worthy for us,so he prefers to
move on and wants me to forget and move on as well,but interesting
thing is he hasnt filed for divorce its been 4 years now,and im
still living in the house that we were living together which is
legaly under my daughters name,she still lives with me,i really
dont know what to do,theres memories everywhere,if i sell the
property i have to go back into renting on the other hand if i keep
the property its an asset and its a lot better to live in your own
home,but what do i do if she decides to marry one day,how can i
afford to pay morgage etc by myself,i guess at the end its probably
best to sell.i cant talk to family memebers to them i need to be
strong willed,i cant really open up to them.im really confused i
cant make decisions,at the moment im just taking one day as it
comes and see what happens.

Dear Lonelyhearts, I was not on this site for a while, so did not see your posting. The book, I gave the wrong name, it is "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. I can not imagine why you would not be able to get it in Australia. I am glad to hear you are working on staying strong, it will help at the end of the day, but I know it is hard to do. Your views on the counceller, were the same as mine; but do not worry, you will not be judged. Some questions in the meetings will be hard, but that is part of the journey. Setup an appointment, it will be the next step in the right direction for you.

My husband of 22 years together for 25 is seeing a 25 year old for over a year and has told me he is in love with her, wants to be with her, no longer wants to be married to me and I should let go of him and move on because he has. I am devastated, I have been praying because this is not what I envisioned , he spends at least two hours a day together, they work for the same company at which he is an executive, he brought her to the company. Two days ago he moved out of our bedroom to downstairs. He says in his mind he is seperated from me from Novemeber because you need to be seperated for a year to be able to file for divorce he wants to file in November. I am not being productive at work breaking out in tears every 15minutes, I am a wreck and he is fine.He wants to be friends, he says he loves me but not how a man should love his wife, those feelings hehas for the other woman. I told him never to talk to me again even though we live in the same house. This is all very fresh and I am confused.

i was just recently separated and it was pretty hard at first even though i was the one that wanted to leave. my wife was tired of the stress of having to work and cooking for 2 kids and myself so she started to go out and come home late. i decided i had enough and threaten to leave. she got mad at me for doing that so she didn't want us back. i felt sorry for the kids whenever they mention their mother and ask why we don't live at home anymore so i try to do whatever to get us back together but the more i try the more she didn't want anything to do with me. i finally accepted it and move on but then she wanted to stay friends even though she had feelings for a friend that she was hanging out with. we try to hang out together but the more i get closer to her the more feelings i have for her and i knew she still had feelings for me but she like the way she was living. i knew this was not something i wanted for me or my kids. as time goes by i started to miss her less and less and i realize i needed a wife that's faithful and be there for her kids 100% of the time so i told her that if she wanted to rebuild our relationship and family she needs to stay away from the guy. i don't know if i did the right thing by giving her an ultimatum but i had to know if she still want me back or just stringing me along. i do know that i'm much better than i first left and whatever her decision is i will accepted and move on. i don't feel like i'm angry with her even if she doesn't want to be back with us but for now i needed to be away from her as much as possible so that the old feelings won't come back even though its harder because of the kids. i wish everyone much luck. no matter what happens you have to be strong and time will make it alot easier to move on. dont blame yourself or the other person for anything that has happen, it will only make it worse. i like to take long drives and talk to myself about what happen. i come up with alot of reasons to why we separated but i do not come up with an answer yet. i might never know but whatever happens it happens for a reason. as long as you try then that's all you can do. you never know but your life might be better off without the other person.

dear trusting, i was in the same kind of situation. my wife wanted me to stay at the house so our kid can finish the school year up. i thought i could do it for the kids sake but she would continue to come home late and i could not sleep cus i would wonder where she is and who she's with. i had enough and decided to transfer my son to where my family live and where i was working. i think it was the best decision i made. it was hard at first because i really miss her and most of the nights i couldn't go to sleep because i keep thinking about what happen to us. i try to forget about her but she has to contact me because of the kids. i didn't how i can live like this but eventually i felt better as long as i dont hang around with her. she sometimes ask me to have dinner together and just when i thought i'm over her the feelings came back when we talk and have drinks together. i didn't know where our relationship was going and i had to think about my kids too. i wanted them to have a full time mom so i decided to give her an ultimatum, if she wanted to rebuild our relationship and family she needs to get rid of that guy or just let me move on and focus on finding them a new mom. you have to be strong and try your best to move on. you have to tell yourself that you deserve better than that. it will get easier as time goes by and dont let him see you miserable. the more you avoid them the more they will miss you. if he decides to come back to you then you need to take your time and think if its worth it if he doesn't then you hold your head up high and move on cus you don't deserve that kind of person. i think life will be better for the ones who did all they can in a marriage and doesn't cheat or abuse the other person. stay away from them as much as possible.

"Bay of Islands - summertime holiday capital!" Bay of Islands by worldkiwi
Bay of Islands Travel Guide: 123 reviews and 332 photos
In January 2004 I visited the Bay of Islands in summer for the first time! I felt that I had escaped to another country for the four days I was there. Sparkling clear water, outdoor bars you can comfortably sit in till 1am, hot and sunny days, beautiful white sand beaches, dolphins, and a holiday feel you can't get anywhere else in NZ, make the Bay of Islands a place I will always have fond memories of.
In 2006, I enjoyed another short break in the Bay of Islands. This time, the weather wasn't so kind, but despite persistent low cloud, it was warm and humid. The weather didn't put us off outdoor activities and the highlight of the trip was getting to swim with bottlenose dolphins!
Visit the Bay of Islands during New Zealand's summer: December to March. The best months are usually the latter half of January and all through February. The evenings can be a bit cooler in March (actually autumn), but the days are usually dry and sunny. Also, in Feb and Mar, all the NZers are back at work (unfortunately for us). Make sure you get out on a boat at least once and see the Bay of Islands from the best vantage point.
Must do:
dolphin watching;
visit Urupukapuka Island;
explore Russell;
swim at a beach on Urupukapuka Island;
wander around the Waitangi Historic reserve, where modern NZ was born;
dine outside on a warm summer evening;
kayak somewhere.
On the two summer trips I've made to the Bay of Islands as an adult, I have gone on the same dolphin watching trip - with Awesome Adventures (Fullers), from Paihia. Both trips were great, and the 2006 one was very memorable because we got to swim with bottlenose dolphins! See my 'must do' section.
- Pros:Warm summer nights, great nightlife, beautiful beaches, sparkling bays, serene islands!
- Cons:I can't think of any!
- In a nutshell:Great place for a holiday!

With more than two dozen sites participating in the Network within the United States, rapidly advancing technology, and a growing collaboration with over 25 countries participating in the International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network, the complexity of facilitating collaborations among sites and maintaining supporting infrastructure has created great challenges and an even greater need for a strong and dedicated Network Office.
Mission: To provide a central point of contact and collective expertise to support the objectives of the LTER Network by:
Providing an efficient computational and communication infrastructure
Developing and deploying state-of-the-art techniques in information management
Maintaining a strong public outreach program
Coordinating interactions with other scientific networks, agencies, and entities
Providing administrative support
Contributing to an efficient and effective environment in which site, cross-site, and synthetic research and education can be conducted.
Location: The LTER Network Office is housed at the University of New Mexico (UNM). The Office is contracted, through UNM, with NSF to provide support and coordination functions for the entire LTER Network. The formal contracting agreement is called the Cooperative Agreement and contains detailed requirements for accomplishing the mission of the Office (in support of the overall LTER vision, mission, goals and objectives).
The LTER Network Office was established in 1983 to support and promote the following Network activities:
-Facilitating communication among the LTER sites and between the LTER Program and other scientific communities
-Supporting the planning and conduct of collaborative research efforts, including provision of technical support services
-Facilitating intersite scientific activities, including national and international meetings
-Providing a focal point and collective representation of the LTER Network in its external relationships

BOULDER – Dal Ward's name is attached to one of the most prominent buildings in University of Colorado athletics, and it could just as easily occupy a position of prominence on the campus of the Buffs' first Pac-12 Conference opponent.
Ward, the Buffs' football coach for 11 seasons (1948-58) and a CU athletic administrator for another 12 years, holds the distinction of Hall of Fame membership at two schools – CU and Oregon State. The Buffs open 2013 Pac-12 play Saturday (1 p.m. MT, Pac-12 Network) against the Beavers in Corvallis.
In his tenure as CU's coach, Ward directed the school into the Big Seven Conference, which evolved into the Big Eight and finally the Big 12. Wins and losses usually define a coach's success, and Ward was unquestionably successful by that measure; his record of 63-41-6 included the school's first bowl win (27-21 against Clemson in the 1957 Orange Bowl).
But numbers didn't define Ward. Below the large etching of him in the lobby of CU's Dal Ward Athletic Center is this inscription: "Son, you are here to get an education and play football, in that order."
|Dal Ward is a member of Oregon State's Hall of Fame, playing for the Beavers from 1924-26
Photo Courtesy: Oregon State Sports Information
Ward's players knew he meant it, and most never forgot it.
"He valued education," said his daughter Barbara Ward Spengler, one of Ward's five children who grew up in Boulder and will be among about 15 family members in attendance Saturday in Reser Stadium. "He was a wonderful father. He was strict with us and people on the outside might have thought of him as rough and gruff, but most of his players thought of him as a father figure."
At a family reunion on what would have been Ward's 100th birthday – Aug. 11, 2006 – his only grandson, Brian Kettler of Denver, remembered his grandfather like this:
"As much as life is full of people who make excuses, life is full of people who do not embody what they talk about. What I've learned about Dal, he was not this way. I assume his uncommonly favorable legacy comes from his understanding of this principle. People have told me that Dal was this type of man who spoke with a great deal of authority, an authority that I want to believe came from his own experience of the principles he valued.
"For instance, as a coach, he could tell his players not to make excuses, because he lived this way; he could tell his players to work hard, because he lived this way; and he could tell his players to be honest because he lived this way. There is incredible power in a life arranged in this manner. It's the way I want to live and I'm grateful for the legacy in this regard."
Under Ward, the Buffs finished second in the Big Seven twice and third four times. He was credited with revitalizing the CU football program, and at the end of his coaching career he became an assistant athletic director overseeing facilities as well as teaching in the physical education department.
Given a letter of recommendation by Knute Rockne, Ward had begun his teaching/coaching career in Minneapolis at Marshall High School and later joined the football staff at the University of Minnesota (1936). The Gophers didn't forget him; after CU won the '57 Orange Bowl, Minnesota and Southern California approached him about filling head coaching vacancies.
Because of his fondness for Boulder and a belief that CU's coming seasons would be even more successful, Ward declined. His 1956 team had finished 8-2-1, but his 1957 and 1958 teams were 6-3-1 and 6-4, respectively. And in January of 1959, the school's Board of Regents asked for Ward's resignation. He refused, the regents reconsidered, then apparently bowed to outside pressure and upheld their original decision.
"After he was fired, he was offered a couple of other opportunities but he wanted to stay in Boulder," said Barbara Ward Spengler, a CU alumna who now lives in Lander, Wyo. "CU was deep in his heart. We thought it was ironic, because after dad came (coach) Sonny Grandelius and the slush fund (1959-61) and then Bud Davis for a year (1962). But we never felt he was bitter against CU. He stayed on and taught and had tenure as a professor."
|Dal Ward was 63-41-6 as Colorado's coach from 1948-58.
Ward's CU legacy earned him induction into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 1985 and CU's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008. In 1997, Oregon State inducted him into its Hall of Fame, citing his three-sport (football, basketball, baseball) career in the mid-1920s. He earned the distinction of being a team captain in all three sports, was awarded 11 letters and was honored with membership in five organizations for his academic achievements.
Barbara Ward Spengler said her father, who died in 1983, grew up "in a fairly poor family" on Oregon's eastern slope. "His father was a sheepherder and getting an education meant a lot to (Dal). It was a wonderful opportunity for him to go to college . . . to excel was nice, too."
Four of Ward's children – Barbara, Mary, Martha and Mark – will be traveling to OSU for Saturday's game, along with two or three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. All but one is a CU grad.
Four members of the extended Ward family live in Corvallis but, according to Barbara Ward Spengler, all are fervent Buffs fans. She said their friends in Corvallis are certain where their allegiance is on every fall weekend – except this one: "They'll be wearing their Black and Gold on Saturday and they said everyone understands."
NOTABLE: After a weekend off, the Buffs returned to practice Monday morning to continue their preparations for Saturday's matchup against Oregon State. Head coach Mike MacIntyre admitted to the media after practice that slowing down a team with the nation's third-ranked passing attack will be a tough challenge for his defense. He said Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion "makes a lot of great plays. We just have to try to keep them at bay and hopefully we can disrupt that passing game." . . . . MacIntyre watched Oregon State's win over San Diego State on Saturday from his home and was impressed with what he saw offensively from the Beavers. He believes Oregon State's consistently high scoring offense is a testament to long-time head coach Mike Riley and his coaching staff. "They do a great job," MacIntyre said. "They're stable and those kids want to be successful." . . . . MacIntyre acknowledged that the team's three-week layoff between games in the middle of the season is the longest such layoff of his coaching career. "I've never had a break this long during the season and I never want it to happen again," MacIntyre said. "It kind of reminds me of bowl time. I'd rather be playing games. I'd like to have a week off but not three." . . . . MacIntyre is happy that the team has not used the extended layoff as an excuse to relax. "In our situation I think (this situation) has actually motivated them," MacIntyre said. "I have not seen them slack off or miss meetings or be late or not hustle in practice." . . . . MacIntyre also announced that freshman defensive lineman Timothy Coleman, Jr. has a torn Achilles and will have surgery, therefore missing the remainder of the season. Coleman did not play in the team's first two games . . . CU's Oct. 5 home game against Oregon will kick off at 4 p.m. and be televised by the Pac-12 Network.

During the Jan. 13 episode of ProWMMA! Now, hard-hitting Muay Thai kickboxing champion Tiffany Van Soest (8-0 pro) said she would be open to fighting Tecia Torres or Joanne Calderwood if she was to ever transition back to MMA.
"I love to strike, obviously. Any high level striker," Van Soest said when asked who she would like to fight in her next MMA bout. "The 115-pound division in MMA is absolutely stacked, and there's a few girls I wouldn't mind trading leather with in that division, like [Joanne] Calderwood from Scotland.
"I really like her style. She's real slick and has great boxing. Tecia Torres, she's a great kickboxer. She also has a karate or Tae Kwon Doe background similar to mine. Geez that would be fun. There's a lot of talent."
Van Soest has already completed two amateur MMA fights, but both were held three years ago.
She made her amateur MMA debut on Feb. 26, 2011, at the Road to WCK event in Pala where she knocked out Kate McGray with a gorgeous combination of a left high kick and ground punches early in the second round.
However, Van Soest fell short in her second try at MMA, as she lost to Jin Tang via submission due to a triangle choke inside the first round in Nanning, China on June 18, 2011.
Despite the extensive time away from active MMA competition, Van Soest has remained sharp in all disciplines of combat sports.
"I train in MMA gyms and I do enjoy wrestling for cross-training and fun and I feel like it suits me as a striker to have a strong wrestling base," Van Soest told show host Gina Begley. "You know right now I have thought of opportunities with Muay Thai and kickboxing. I'm just taking it one fight at a time.
"I'm signed with Lion Fight and I have a home with them. I'm happy with the promotion. I'm happy with what they are doing. It's all about the right opportunity for me. If the right opportunity arises, then you know I'll take it. But right now it's one fight at a time. I've got two fights lined up for Muay Thai and striking, so that's where my focus is."
