Stanford's NCAA preview NCAA Championships Schedule
Men's Entry List | Women's Entry List | Live Results | Webcast
June 4, 2013
EUGENE, Ore. - The Stanford track and field teams compete in the NCAA Championships on Wednesday through Saturday at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon and bring 12 athletes -- nine women and three men. The women's team is ranked No. 11 by the USTFCCCA and the men are unranked.
An experienced Cardinal women's team has eight All-Americans among its nine, totaling 18 All-America honors (including cross country, and indoor and outdoor track). Senior long jumper Karynn Dunn and sophomore javelin thrower Brianna Bain are returning first-team outdoor All-Americans and junior hurdler Kori Carter is a seven-time All-America poised to earn her first first-team honor. The Cardinal ranks ninth among women's teams with 10 entries.
Two-time first-team indoor All-America Tyler Stutzman (1,500 meters) leads the Stanford men, but freshman Steven Solomon, a 2012 Olympic finalist in the 400, may be the most intriguing in his first NCAA championship meet. He hopes to add to the Stanford men's proud history, with four NCAA outdoor titles and 35 individual champions among 44 titles.

Stanford's NCAA Championship History
Stanford has a rich history in the NCAA Championships. The men have won four team titles and rank seventh in team victories. Stanford also has eight runner-up finishes and 24 finishes among the top five. Stanford's team titles came in 1925, 1928, and 1934 under Dink Templeton, and 2000 under Vin Lananna.
Also, 35 Stanford men have combined to win 44 individual titles. The discus has been Stanford's most successful event, with 12 titles. Seven have come in the shot put and five in the javelin, giving Stanford 24 victories in the throws. Nine championships have come in the distance events, all since 1998. Combined with six women's titles in that span, distance runners have won 15 of Stanford's past 21 NCAA individual crowns.
The Stanford women have never won a team title and have a top finish of third, in 1984 under Brooks Johnson. However, the Cardinal has scored in all 31 NCAA women's championship meets, tying with Nebraska and UCLA for the most of any school.
Thirteen Stanford women have combined for 17 NCAA outdoor championships. The most have come in the 5,000 meters (four), helped by Lauren Fleshman's three victories from 2001-03.
Last year, Stanford's women placed sixth with 25 points and the men were tied for 18th with 16. Cardinal championships were won by Amaechi Morton in the men's 400 hurdles and Katerina Stefanidi in the women's pole vault. In all, 48 Stanford athletes have combined to win 61 NCAA titles.

Stanford's Event by Event Breakdown
800: If Justine Fedronic or Amy Weissenbach reach the final, Fedronic's Stanford school record of 2:03.54 could fall. LSU's Natoya Goule, the NCAA indoor champion, has dominated this season and likes to push the pace early, which should create a fast race. Fedronic was one spot from advancing to the 2012 final and enters with the seventh-fastest time in the field to Weissenbach's 10th, with only eight advancing. Fedronic and Weissenbach are in the same semifinal heat, along with Oregon's Laura Roesler, who beat runner-up Fedronic for the Pac-12 title. With only two advancing automatically from each race, it's likely at least one Stanford runner must advance on time, and only two spots are available out of the three heats. With the senior Fedronic and the freshman Weissenbach situated as Nos. 1 and 2 on Stanford's all-time 800 list, this will be a rare treat to see them compete against each other at this distance. It's only happened twice, at the Jim Click Shootout in Tucson on April 6 and the Big Meet at Stanford on April 20. In both races, Fedronic won with Weissenbach second.
5,000: Stanford junior Jessica Tonn and sophomore Aisling Cuffe will earn their first outdoor All-America honors. A victory seems unlikely given the strength of the field, including defending champion Abbey D'Agostino of Dartmouth, but they could place high if they work together. Tonn's 15:54.90 is the 13th-best time in the field and Cuffe, a two-time American junior record-breaker in the indoor 3,000, is 24th at 16:15.53.
100 hurdles: The plan after the Pac-12 Championships was for Kori Carter to drop the 100 hurdles and focus on the 400 hurdles. But after she ran a personal record 12.76 in winning her second consecutive conference title, Carter insisted on continuing in both races through the NCAA's. The favorite is collegiate leader Brianna Rollins of Clemson, who has a legal best of 12.68 and a wind-aided 12.54. Carter is No. 2 in the field and among only four competitors have broken 13 seconds. But Carter has done so only once this year and twice in her life. She will need to be at top form to have a chance in an event that Stanford has never won at nationals.
400 hurdles: This event has been Kori Carter's domain this season. She has twice run the world's leading time and her best of 54.21 is now No. 3 in the world and No. 1 in the U.S. The race likely will come down to three Pac-12 rivals - Carter, Arizona's Olympic finalist Georganne Moline and UCLA's Turquoise Thompson, the NCAA runner-up to Moline last year. They finished in that order during a dramatic Pac-12 final, with Carter and Moline facing each other for the second time in another chapter of a competitive rivalry. They have raced three times this year - at the Jim Click Shootout, Pac-12's, and the NCAA West Prelims - with Carter winning a close race each time. Carter is competing in three events at NCAA's, including the 4x400, but the schedule favors her efforts in the 400 hurdles. It is her first race, with the semifinals on Wednesday. It also will be her first final, on Friday, when she has no other competitions.
4x400 relay: The challenge will be fresh legs for a Stanford foursome that should include three - Kori Carter, Justine Fedronic, and Amy Weissenbach -- who are doing other events. Carter's 50.9 anchor split electrified Stanford's performance at the NCAA West Prelims, when it ran 3:32.65 for the No. 3 time in school history and the fastest since 2005. The school record of 3:29.39 is not far off, but would be difficult under any circumstances, and especially on tired legs. Senior Carissa Levingston completes a strong Stanford career in this race and senior Kala Stepter will be available if needed.
Long jump: Karynn Dunn carries the credentials of being a two-time first-team All-America into her final collegiate competition. Dunn leaped a personal record 21-6 on her only fair jump of the 2012 NCAA meet to place fifth. This followed a fourth-place at 2012 NCAA indoors. Dunn was hampered during the indoor season and began the outdoor season slowly, but now is back in form, as evidenced by her 20-7 1/4 leap at the NCAA West Prelims. Dunn comes in with the 11th-best mark in the field, but has made a habit of performing at her best at the national championships.
Shot put: The storyline of Stanford senior Alyssa Wisdom may be as good as the competition. Wisdom arrived at Stanford as a sprinter but a lethargic subpar season forced her to seek answers and discovered that she had a heart condition and other medical issues. Rather than drop athletics, she switched to the shot put, an event she had dabbled in during high school, and swiftly improved. She now sits at No. 3 on Stanford's all-time list and is on the verge of her first All-America honor and a chance for redemption. After all, she qualified for the NCAA indoor championships in March, but fouled out. Just one legal throw would have ensured All-America status. Rest assured, Wisdom won't make the same mistake in her final collegiate meet.
Javelin: Brianna Bain is a pressure performer. That was evident at the 2012 NCAA's when she unleashed a personal-record toss of 180-2 on her sixth and final throw to place second as a freshman. This year, Bain, the two-time Pac-12 champion, comes in as the top seed and collegiate leader, with the best mark in the field by two feet. However, among the 11 freshmen in the field is Florida's Marija Vucenovic, who has a best of 181-10. Stanford never has won an NCAA women's javelin title and hasn't had a champion, among men or women, since Leo Long in 1954. However, Bain is undefeated this year and hasn't lost against collegiate competition since the NCAA meet a year ago.
400: The 400 is a loaded event with four of last year's eight finalists returning. And that list doesn't include Olympian, Pac-12 champion, and collegiate leader Bryshon Nellum of USC, the only collegian under 45 this year (44.76). But the sleeper choice is Stanford freshman Steven Solomon, the only freshman in NCAA track and field who was a 2012 Olympic finalist. Solomon ran 44.97 in the semifinals in London to become the first Australian in 24 years to advance to an Olympic 400 final. Solomon finished eighth there and was given a late start to his first collegiate outdoor season with an eye toward peaking for the World Championships in Moscow, Russia, in August. Solomon didn't run his first collegiate race until April 20 and has competed in only three meets this year while running a season best and school freshman record of 46.12 that seems very vulnerable. The Stanford record is 45.85 by Rene Rodriguez in 1994.
1,500: As it always seems in this competition, expect a strategic and plodding pace followed by a fast finish. The field, which includes defending champion Andrew Bayer of Indiana, seems tightly grouped, which means Stanford's Tyler Stutzman has a shot. Stutzman was fourth in the NCAA indoor mile in March and carries a best of 3:40.43. Stanford has tradition in this event, with Gabe Jennings (2000), Donald Sage (2002), and Grant Robison (2003) winning NCAA titles in recent years and others such as Michael Stember (second), Garrett Heath (second), and Russell Brown (third) contending as well.
5,000: Arizona's Lawi Lalang is one of the most consistent and exceptional collegiate distance runners this side of Galen Rupp. And Northern Arizona's Diego Estrada, a native of Salinas, Calif., ran a scorching 13:15.33 at the Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford on April 28 and has the top collegiate time this year. However, for Stanford, eyes will be on junior Erik Olson, who squeezed into the last qualifying spot at the NCAA West Prelims and is on the verge of his first All-America honor. Olson, a former U.S. junior national cross-country champion, continues to round into the best shape of his collegiate career after being limited by a series of injuries. Olson, a Marin County product, will seek to improve upon his best of 13:46.12.
* * *
Bain, Carter, are No. 1 Seeds
Sophomore javelin thrower Brianna Bain and junior 400 hurdler Kori Carter enter the meet with the top collegiate marks this year and are the top seeds. Bain threw 183-10 at the Big Meet to break her own school record of 180-2 set in finishing second at the 2012 NCAA Championships. She ranks No. 2 among all throwers in the country. Carter's time of 54.21, run at the Pac-12 Championships, is No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 3 in the world. Both enter the meet with the top qualifying marks, which they achieved at the NCAA West Prelims in Austin, Texas, May 25-27. Bain threw 175-10 and Carter ran 54.50.
Carter on Bowerman Watch List
Stanford junior Kori Carter has established herself as the nation's breakout star. The Women's West Region Track Athlete of the Year is among 10 women on the watch list for the Bowerman award, collegiate track and field's highest honor. Carter twice has run world-leading times in the 400 hurdles, first on April 6 with a 54.71 in beating 2012 Olympic fifth-place finisher Georganne Moline of Arizona at the Jim Click Invitational in Tucson, Ariz., -- a personal record by 2.39 seconds.
Carter regained the world lead on May 12 with a stunning 54.21 - the second-fastest in-season time in collegiate history - to win the Pac-12 title over Moline while breaking meet, stadium, and school records at USC. On the same day, she repeated as the Pac-12 100-meter hurdles champ with a time of 12.76, another school record.
Carter's 54.21 stands at No. 1 among Americans and collegians and No. 3 in the world. She 12.76 is No. 8 in the world and No. 2 in NCAA Division I.

Hey there! If you're on my page, I'm assuming you're either reading the Dark Duke or you're here by accident (in which case I say...ha ha suckah- welcome to my world! ahem...anywhoo...)
I wanted to write a journal entry though, since I wanted to still promote the awesome fanart two of my favorite artists have done for my store
First off there's :
Vegeta is looking quite amazing here, and I was in awe of what a great job sami01 did
Then there's:
CrimonGriffin really captured Bulma's beauty and sensuality here, and I am just so grateful that they took the time to do some fanart for my story!!
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for groups that I should be posting The Dark Duke in, let me know, as I'm always looking for ways to get my story out there.

To a Mouse
by Robert Burns
To a Mouse Resources
This is a handy-dandy glossary of words in the Scots dialect commonly used by Robert Burns.
In case you had any doubts that Robbie Burns is a Big Deal, here's some more proof: there's a WORLD ROBERT BURNS FEDERATION that you can join so that you can get your Burns on with fellow Burns fans from all over the world. Also, their website has some links and info about the poet useful for even the more casual fans.
Yep, there is more than one Burns Fan Club out there. This one has been around for more than 100 years.
This site has the text of the poem, a short analysis of the poem, and a link to an excellent bio of the poet.
The BBC (yeah, that would be the channel that made Downton Abbey) has a handy site on Burns, with some good pics and a useful biography.
Yep, folks still use the Scots dialect in Scotland today, although typically people are nice enough to use standard English when chatting with non-Scots. This is an interesting history of the Scots language… although you may not understand all of it, as the speaker occasionally uses Scots.
To really get this poem, you've got to hear it read out loud in its original Scots dialect.
Here's another reading of the poem, this time by Scottish actor Sean Kane.
This is probably the most famous portrait of Burns out there—it's the one you'll see on the cover of every collection of Burns' poetry.
What a good-lookin' guy he was. No wonder all the Scottish lassies couldn't get enough of him.
This is the cute little thatched cottage where little Robbie Burns was born.
Articles and Interviews
This is an article by A. M. Buchan on Burns' use of dialect in his poetry. It was written in 1951, so it's not exactly recent, but Shmoopers interested in the sound and meaning of Burns' Scots dialect should check it out.
If you're interested in the theme of "Man and the Natural World," this is an article for you. David Perkins writes about Robert Burns and animal rights in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
This article by Corey E. Andrews discusses the history of Burns' critical reception during the first decades after the publication of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which included "To a Mouse."
This is neat: it's a dictionary of Lowland Scots Dialect (that would be the dialect as it was spoken toward the southern border of Scotland, closer to England). It's from 1888. And it's available online through Google Books.
The Edinburgh History of Scottish Literature, edited by Ian Brown, has a really good chapter on Robert Burns called "Writing Scotland: Robert Burns" by Carol McGuirk. Some of the chapter is available online through Google books, but to read it in its entirety, you'll have to check it out of a library.
Movies & TV
This is an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men, which takes its title from Burns' poem.

High on froth, light on substanceTV and Radio
Report Card - GCB
GCBs ... Annie Potts, Leslie Bibb, Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Aspen, Marisol Nichols and Miriam Shorgood.
What is it?
Amanda (Leslie Bibb), a small town girl who made it to the big smoke, has to return home when life falls apart. It turns out the former queen bee of the highschool is now bottom of the pecking order in a community run by the vicious, church going women, a.k.a good christian bitches.
Our view
GCB officially it stands for Good Christian Bitches but it could also stand for Good Con Broadcasters or perhaps Generic Channel Backfill.
For, let's be clear, this show has been cancelled. Forever. Not here, but in the US. Where it is made. Where it makes more sense. Where the audience should be more enthusiastic for a comedy based around very specific American stereotypes. Seven aren't hoping to woo you into a long term viewing habit, they're engaging in a little schedule stuffing, pushing this through until they launch their real prime time programs in a few weeks. Hence why we're already getting double episodes of GCB as this entirely disposable show (as far as the network is concerned) is burned off.
Which isn't the show's fault. Great shows have been mistreated by networks before. Great shows have been axed after a season, just ask the fans of Firefly, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Freaks and Geeks or back in the day Gidget, Planet of the Apes and (believe it or not) Top Cat!. So how does GCB stand up, network shenanigans aside?
Not great.
As Kristin Chenoweth's Carlene Cockburn tells us in the GCB variation on previously – which sounds intentionally like a middle aged gossip circle catch up: "Penniless disgraced Amanda Vaughn moved back in with her Momma Gigi, after her philandering thief of a husband died in a car crash. Us girls aren't too pleased to see the former head cheerleader/evil queen. She claims she's changed her ways but her first week back she's already kissed my best friend's husband, took a job in a booby bar and humiliated me and my beloved just because we own the place. How many sins is that there?"
And why do we care?
GCB is trying to be satirical soap opera in the vein of Desperate Housewives, yet where that show was, initially at least, a beautiful and hysterical homage built around big soap opera style plots of murder and betrayal, here the total is far less than the sum of its parts. Great actors (Chenoweth is brilliant in everything and anything) trying to make a comedic splash in a kiddypool plotline. Nothing is on the line here apart from the acceptance or otherwise of a character it is hard to feel sympathy for, particularly after our "hero" is introduced as a reformed alcoholic "mean girl" before we care about her in the slightest. The characters play the scenes for laughs, with some success, but there's no gravitas and no real heart to the piece. Too many cheap shots, not enough investment in long term plot.
I wanted to like GCB, I really did. Not only is Chenoweth a tuneful riot in a petite bottle but show creator Robert Harling is responsible for the genuinely excellent soap opera comedy Soap Dish. Unfortunately this is nowhere near either of their talent.
Yes it gets better, episodes two and three had some genuine comedic moments but it's still the exception not the rule. And I still don't care about Amanda.
In a sentence: This show was, for once, axed for good reason. All promise, no substance. Don't let the networks have your valuable time for a recalled product.
Best bit: Pretty much anything involving Chenoweth, including her standing on a box in order to angle her attic telescope to see into Gigi's house. For a single moment though, the "I will not be taken down by a fallen woman" cue woman on fireman's pole descending upon her gag. Great stuff.
Worst bit: The individual moments tend to work, it's the through plot that struggles but the opening car accident through to the "oh no I'm trapped in my car because of those dogs" introduction sets a tone the show spends a whole episode trying to recover from.
Next episode: Monday, 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Seven
How'd it rate? On debut: 873,000 to rank 11th for Monday 20th despite having night winning X Factor as a lead-in. Last night: First episode 766,000, second episode 664,000 to rank 14th and 17th on the night.
Worth watching again? No. That's just rewarding a network for trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
Grade: C for careless about comedy, care free about audience interests.
Poll: How do you rate Seven's new soap GCB?
- Brilliant: a memorable piece of trashy soap
- Good: an enjoyable and entertaining show
- Average: had its moments, but nothing special
- Below par: show had promise, but was disappointing
- Terrible: television at its worst

I watched it when it was on in the US and I didn't mind it. I do actually think they made the wrong decision in axing it - it was on the fence for the last couple of episodes and I do think that the short first season (ten episodes) would have enabled the network to re-boot it getting rid of what didn't work.

It is light and fluffy in the Desperate Housewives vein. The only character that I like is Gigi, the grandmother! The others are not worth it. I can see why it was cancelled after the first season!

Drama? You are Kidding! Low Brow attempted Comedy would be a better description! This show really sucks. Add it to the long list of failures for 2012. Seriously, what were they thinking? Had I known it was already canned in the USA, I would not have bothered ....good or bad. I hate getting invested in shows that just disappear without resolution....Alcatraz, The Event, Fast Forward, Firefly, Stargate Universe..the list goes on. I love a cliffhanger ending, but when it doesnt get resolved next season, it leaves you feeling cheated. Cliffhanger endings have ruined TV for me.

Surely the advertisements for this show were painful enough. Imagine having to sit through an entire episode of: Some bimbo licking a man's tie and suggesting that the stain on his tie is from "chicken wings", the same bimbo placing a piece of chicken between her breasts, and some teenage girl whose top rips open to reveal her breasts. Hardly riveting entertainment. If you want a good quality comedy, leave it to the English.

I must be one too as well as my best friend and her husband! LOL
We love it. I don't know why. I don't normally go for this type of thing.
It's way better than big brother.
It can't get any lower than the shire. That is a no go.
We all know it's trash. It's so trashy you have to watch it.
It's like womans day or new idea. You know the stories aren't really true but it's nice to look at the pictures :)
The lines, the quips, some of them quite clever.
I don't watch it to sit and be educated i just watch it as it requires no thinking at all and it provides good escapism.
Many other shows fulfil that thinking need but this one is pure fun.
Shame it was axed, now i'm bummed to find that out.
No wonder it is axed, they would have been up in arms in the US bible belt because it shows the hypocrisy of all those values yet not one of them can really implement them with good intention even though they remind eachother with bible references and that's what makes it juicy.
The show afterwards up all night looks like a treat too. Love Wil Arnett.

Oh c'mon, it's not that bad, it's like Desperate Housewives... on crack. I found it had more laughs than not, and with scenes like last night's phone call to the Texas Chili Board... very funny.. obviously they don't expect to be taken too seriously it's meant to be a laugh. Maybe it was too close to the bone for those folks in the U.S. of A.

The show is fine - light fun. I think the only problem was it had to pull its punches - for example, from the renaming of the show from Good Christian Bitches to GCB - as the Christian Right were determined to make the show sink. Fundies aren't well known for having a sense of humour about themselves! Also, bad American TV is still better than "good" Australian TV, which is uniformly terrible. Even ratings successes like Underbelly are cringeworthy in both acting and production values.

Super setting is a great way to finish out the muscle peak and so called "Burn out the Muscle" during and/or after completion of an exercise strength program. Many individuals that work out day to day love to have their regular work out that starts with cardiovascular or aerobic training which follows their traditional strength or resistance training routines. However, this does not become enough anymore as plateau does set in, and super setting has proven to improve fitness levels and overcome plateaus.
Super setting is a routine where the individual that is partaking in a strength training program can take on strength training in addition to the regular set and rest routines. The health enthusiasts can finish their regular workouts with their regular strength training routines and finish with 1-2 muscle groups they were focusing on.
Once you have established those muscle groups for super setting, you will need to pick at least 2-3 exercises per muscle group such as: Biceps: Standing Dumbbell Curls, Standing Barbell Curls, Preacher Dumbbell Curls; Triceps: Triceps Push-downs, Dumbbell Triceps Overhead Extension & Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extension or Prone Extensions.
As you can see there are at least three exercises per muscle group, and each exercise needs to have a low to moderate resistance that can complete at least 8-12 repetitions in which the muscle can take on that resistance and burn out. One can also use super setting as a quick way to get in a work out, but the best way is right after a work out to burn out the muscles.

Bluetooth SPOT
By user9157252 on Jan 15, 2009
My latest "Stupid SPOT Trick" has been to connect a Bluetooth board (from Sparkfun.com, of course!) to a Sun SPOT. It is both easier than it looks, and harder than it looks. Huh? Let me explain.
In a previous post I wrote about doing bi-directional Serial port access to a Sun SPOT so that I could talk to a device attached to the UART on the eDemoBoard of a Sun SPOT. So, of course, when my BlueGiga Board arrived, I immediately wired it to the eDemoBoard UART on pins D0 and D1. Seemed like the reasonable thing to do. At the time anyway.
Turns out that, according to the datasheet on the BlueGiga board (and don't try to buy one right now, I bought the last 2), it wants to communicate at 115200 baud, 8-N-1. Not being one to read the documentation all that thoroughly, I was unaware that the UART on the eDemoBoard will only go as high as 38400. So all my attempts to communicate resulted in garbage out (to be fair, garbage in, garbage out).
Turns out what you need is an eProto Board. With that, you can put Tx to pin A5 and Rx to pin A6, power to +3v and ground, and voila ... almost. There is one more trick to getting this board going. You need to connect the BTEN pin on the BlueGiga Breakout board via a 100k Ω resistor, to Vcc as well or the board, while powered, will not actually come up. Once I had all that done, of course, it was easy.
So I now have a Bluetooth-enabled Sun SPOT that can talk to other Bluetooth devices over the Serial Port Protocol (SPP) profile of Bluetooth via RFCOMM. I have it doing discovery (to find other Bluetooth devices), Authentication exchange, and full-duplex serial data exchange. Nice!

Math 131B: Approximations and Function Spaces
Professor Hsu; MW 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
This course looks at the question: what's the best way to approximate a given function by "good" functions, such as polynomials or sums of trigonometric functions?
The search for the precise meaning of "best" leads to the idea of a spaces of functions, and most prominently, the function spaces known as Hilbert spaces. We will combine a study of the fundamentals of Hilbert spaces, harmonic analysis (e.g., Fourier series), and operator theory, with applications.

Well, all mandolins have an Italian origin, bandurrias came from Spain and, of course, Ukuleles are just... Portuguese cavaquinhos, taken to Hawaii by emigrants.
All those instruments have a common South Europe origin. As for banjos, although some people indicate an African origin, I tend to consider them as American instruments...
All of my mandolins, octave mandolin, ukuleles, banjos and even my Filipino banduria have markers at the tenth fret, but my guitars, a Martin, a Gibson, a Gretsch and a Goya (made in Sweden) have 9th fret markers. Most guitars seem to have 9th fret markers, while most other instruments seem to have 10th fret markers. I've often wondered why.
Jim Yates,
That guitar is an "old acquaintance", true?
I remember having commented before on another detail of that instrument (apparently it has bridge and tie piece in two separated parts). But this particular detail of the marker at the 10th fret does amaze me. What can I say?
I'm no authority on the matter, but it always puzzled me that American instruments had position markers at the 9th fret, because Portuguese guitars have markers at 10th fret, or no marker at all at that part of the fingerboard.Greek Bouzoukis seem to be marked at the same place (10th fret):
Italian Mandolins are marked at the 10th fret (at least those I had in my hands were), and this 1928 Portuguese mandolin I repaired is marked at the 10th fret (in fact, the fingerboard is a replacement, but it reproduces the original one).
In fact, I believe the tradition in Southern Europe is to mark the fingerboard at the 10th fret.
Is the mark at the 9th fret a specific American feature? My 12-string is German, and it's marked at the 9th fret.
However, I don't know if that is a German tradition taken to America by 19th century luthiers. I checked pictures of 19th century C. F. Martin's guitars, and they don't have markers. However early 20th century Martin guitars do have markers at the 9th fret. Is that an American innovation? The reason why my German 12-string is marked at the 9th fret could as well be due to a German tradition or to the fact that the instrument is a copy of American guitars...
One thing is for sure: the instruments I make are marked at the 10th fret - even if they are steel-string guitars:
Now, returning to the guitar in the picture you posted, I wonder, could it be an Italian instrument? That could be an explanation for the marker at the 10th fret. If it is an American instrument, that position marker is a mystery to me... but the separate bridge and tie piece are much more peculiar...
Anyway, it's a very interesting instrument... thanks for pointing out this curious detail!
No photo.
I posted this photo and essentially the same question in a Facebook group today. When I took a closer look at the guitar, I noticed that there is a position marker at the tenth, rather than the ninth fret. While this is normal for banjos, ukuleles and mandolins, it is rarer for guitars.
Thanks Mike. My five music videos came in 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. I hope that enough to get me noticed by the judges!
Thanks Michael! Keep your fingers crossed.

Effect of copper supplementation on the copper ...
|Effect of copper supplementation on the copper status of pasture-fed young Thoroughbreds
|S. G. Pearce, N. D. Grace, E. C. Firth, Jeffrey Wichtel, S. A. Holle, P. F. Fennessy
|Equine Veterinary Journal
|Start page
|End page
|The effect of copper supplementation of pasture fed mares and foals on the copper status of the foals, in terms of plasma, soft tissue and bone copper concentrations and caeruloplasmin activity, was investigated. Twenty-one Thoroughbred foals from either control mares (n = 9), or copper-supplemented mares (n = 12) were divided randomly into control (pasture only, n = 10) or supplemented (pasture and oral copper sulphate, n = 11) groups. The pasture diet was grazed by all animals, and contained 4.4-8.6 mg Cu/kg dry matter (DM). The copper supplement for the mares contained copper sulphate equivalent to 0.5 mg Cu/kg liveweight (LW)/day. This daily dose was converted to allow administration as a thrice weekly dose (i.e. multiplied by 7/3) which was given for 13-25 weeks prior to foaling. The supplemented foals, also dosed 3 times a week, received 0.2 mg Cu/kg LW/day at age 21 days, which was increased to 0.5 mg Cu/kg LW/day at 49 days and was continued at this level until euthanasia at 150 days. Foal plasma copper concentration and caeruloplasmin activity increased from birth to 21 days post partum and then plateaued at a concentration similar to the mare, but the rise in these indices was not affected by copper supplementation of the mare or foal. Copper supplementation of the foal increased foal liver copper concentration at 150 days (P<0.03). Copper intake of diets containing approximately 8-28 mg Cu/kg DM is well reflected by liver copper concentration, but is poorly reflected by bone, other soft tissue copper concentrations and circulating copper status indices.

Zayn And Perrie Told To Slow Down Their Relationship
They're like, BESOTTED with each other, and spend every spare moment together.
Perrie has a ton of her stuff already at Zayn's swanky flat in London, and they spend most nights there, watching movies and eating popcorn 😉
They've only been dating since April but already it's almost like they've been together for years.
Now, family and freiends are getting a little bit concerned that the serious nature of their romance might affect their careers.
A source told Heat magazine that they spend "every possible moment together", and continued:
"They basically live together, mostly at his place because he lives alone, so they get more pivacy. She has half of her stuff at his place."
Showing a different side to most of todays celebs, the source added:
"They're not into clubbing and celeb hangouts. They're joking that they're becoming a bit middle aged."
One Direction are beginning a massive bout of publicity to promote their new single and album, and friends want Zayn to make the most of his time at the top, saying:
"Zayn's family love Perrie to bits, but they've made sure he's careful not to settle down too quickly. They like Perrie and know the two of them are besotted with each other, but they want to make sure he lives his life."
Despite the love they both obviously share for each other, it's still early days in their relationship.
"Perrie has told friends that she thinks Zayn is the one, but her friends and family are also telling her to take it slower, as they're worried she might lose focus on the band."

Alabama is coming off a season-opening loss at then-No. 15 Wake Forest last week. It was the Tide's lone match of the season so far.
Alabama returns 12 letterwinners and nine starters from last year's team.
The team boasts only four seniors in 2013, while 15 members of the squad are either sophomores (5) or freshmen (10).

Highlighting the list of returning scorers is junior Pia Rijsdijk (7g, 6a/20 pts), sophomore Katie Bourgeois (8g, 3a/19 pts), senior Molly Atherton (6g, 4a/16 pts) and junior Theresa Diederich (7g, 1a/15 pts).

Alabama finished the 2012 season with a school record 357 total shots on the season. Furthermore, UA's 155 shots on goal (3rd), 1.95 goals per game average (7th) and 37 goals (9th) all rank among the top-10 in program lore.
Georgia State comes into Friday's contest with an 0-0-1 record having tied Mercer, 2-2, in its lone contest of the 2013 campaign. Junior forwards Nikki Fedele and Whitney Ravan each recorded a goal and an assist in the contest.
Georgia State returns nine starters and 11 total letterwinners from a year ago. The Panthers welcome back its three top point scorers from a year ago.

Mercer opened the 2013 season with a 1-0-1 record last weekend. The Bears ran through Alabama A&M, 10-0, last Friday and tied Georgia State on Sunday, 2-2.
The Bears, who are picked to finish third in the Atlantic Sun, are coming off a 2012 season in which they set a new program record with 13 wins and earned a spot in the A-Sun Tournament title game.
Mercer returns nine starters, including A-Sun All-Conference selections Tess Patton and Maggie Cropp from last season's 13-5-3 squad. The Bears welcome back 78 percent of its scoring from a year ago, including junior Lauren Gassie who led the squad with 19 points on six goals and seven assists.
Senior Molly Atherton recorded two shots against Wake Forest and has now compiled 158 career shots. She needs only seven more shots to become the school's all-time leader in the category. The record of 164 career shots is currently held by Melissa McGee (1997-2000).
Her 61 shots in 2012 rank fifth in program history, while her 55 shots in 2011 is sixth.

Women's Hockey Starts Second Semester with 6-1 Win Over Penn State
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (1/28/14) - Senior Sally Butler and junior Ali Pankowski both had three-point games and junior Brianna Leahy scored twice including the game winner as the Princeton women's hockey team defeated Penn State 6-1 on Tuesday, Jan. 28
The game marked the Princeton's (10-8-3) first game in more than two weeks as athletic competition was suspended for the University's semester exams. It also marked the first visit second-year program Penn State (4-20-2) has made to Hobey Baker Rink.
Senior Denna Laing, who had a two-point night, got things started early scoring 3:07 into the game, and four minutes later the Tigers forced Penn State to take a timeout as Leahy tallied her first of the night. Freshman Molly Strabley earned her second point of the season, on the assist on Laing's goal as she took a shot from the right point and Laing was on the weak side to pop the puck into the open net.
Senior Gabie Figueroa earned assists on the first two goals. On the Tigers' second goal, Figueroa intercepted a pass just inside the neutral zone and sent the puck back in behind the Penn State goal. Leahy sped to the puck and wrapped it around the right post and past netminder Nicole Paniccia.
Penn State made it a one-goal game at 8:42 with Paniccia earning an assist on the play. She turned away a Princeton shot and Taylor Gross picked up the puck along the left boards and centered for Amy Peterson who skated in one-on-one for the goal.
The Tigers pushed the lead back to two with a power-play goal by Pankowski at 16:03 when her shot found its way through traffic. Freshman Cassidy Tucker and Butler assisted on the goal.
Leahy padded the lead less than two minutes later when she redirected a shot from freshman Kelsey Koelzer, who played on defense tonight, as Princeton took a 4-1 lead into the first intermission.
Butler scored the only goal of the second period, a power-play goal at 19:36, to push the Tigers' lead to 5-1. Butler was right on top of netminder Celine Whitlinger, who came in on relief of Paniccia at the start of the period, and tipped in a shot from Pankowski after she received a cross-ice pass from senior Rose Alleva.
Butler and Pankowski teammed up again for the final goal at 4:11 of the third. Pankowski stopped a clearing attempt and fed Butler along the left boards who found a hole and the goal.
Princeton was 2 for 2 on the power play and 3 for 3 on the penalty kill, while outshooting Penn State 50-16.
Sophomore Kimberly Newell made nine saves in the win for Princeton. Paniccia made 15 saves in the first period and allowed four, while Whitligner made 29 saves across two periods and gave up two goals.
Princeton returns to ECAC action this weekend when it hosts No. 5 Harvard and Dartmouth.

80-year-old Boynton Beach man shot in leg while walking dog
Police looking for suspects
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - An 80-year-old man is home, nursing a gunshot wound after being shot early Tuesday morning while walking his dogs.
Boynton Beach police said the shooting happened on Orange Drive near North Palm Drive at about 12:15 a.m.
Ray Perez said he typically takes one of his four dogs out for a walk at 11:30 or midnight. While he was walking in front of his house Tuesday morning, he said he saw a car pulling out of the driveway of an abandoned house. He told police someone in the car shot him.
Perez, who is 80, can't sit still; even if the doctors tell him to stay off his leg. A bandage covers the spots where a bullet went in and out of his left calf. The pain is still fresh in his mind.
"Oh yeah, I went down. It hurt," he said.
While he was walking his dog, a car pulled away from the empty house next door.
"He went that way, came back again; I was standing at the gate, and he shot me two times," Perez remembered.
Only one bullet hit him. His wife called 911. Panic and fear took over. "I was scared because I didn't know why they shot me," said Perez.
The police activity caught the attention of Manny Rivera. He lives across the street.
"It's shocking, it's actually scary," he told us. "I have a son and kids in the house."
He didn't see much, but a surveillance camera on his property caught an image of the suspects driving away in a light colored minivan or SUV.
Boynton Beach detectives are still looking for the suspects. If you have any information, call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS

The Western Art Show and Sale has become the single largest income contributor to the CFD Old West Museum, contributing over $2.7 million to its operations.
Frontier Days and all of its festivities take place each year during the last week in July. The Western Art Show and Sale kicks off with a private showing the Thursday before, allowing art lovers and museum supporters to bid on the works.
This year over 60 artists from across the west are featured. Works include everything from paintings to sculptures to Navajo weavings. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show runs through July 28th. The CFD Old West Museum is located on the grounds of Frontier Park in Cheyenne.

Officers of the board: Who can give you the axe?
A question recently came to our attention: The secretary of a condo board wanted to know if her board of directors proceeded correctly when they chose a new secretary at their annual meeting.
This was the scenario. It was a five member board and four positions were up for election. She was serving the second year of a 2 year staggered term so her position was not up. She contended that since her position on the board was not vacant then the position as secretary was not vacant.
To answer this question we must first look at the bylaws of the association.
Unless the bylaws say differently, her tenure as secretary does not necessarily go with her service on the board.
Additionally, do the bylaws contain a provision stating a "fixed term" such as 1 year or 2 years or, do they say "until a successor is elected"?
Unless the bylaws require a membership vote for a specific officer, the officers are chosen at the organizational meeting of the board, which may take place at the "Annual Meeting" or at the "time, place, and manner" set forth in the bylaws. It should be noted that the organizational meeting is the only time that the board can vote by secret ballot.
Although board members can only removed from the board by a vote of the membership, officers serve on a board of administration at the "pleasure of the board" and may be removed from office "with or without cause" by the members of the board whenever they feel it is in the best interest of the association. If the officers were elected by the membership, then the membership would have to remove them.
She also claimed that the vote for secretary was improper since a motion was made and seconded but no vote formal vote was taken.
Procedurally, the vote was not taken properly. Someone could have raised a "point of order" making that claim.The chairman would have to respond. However, if no one objected when the motion was stated and seconded, it is possible to assume that the motion was passed by "general consent".
Roberts Rules of Order talks about procedures for small boards, it says:
"In a board meeting where there are not more than about a dozen members present, some of the formality that is necessary in a large assembly would hinder business. The rules governing such meetings are different from the rules that hold in other assemblies". In other words even though your governing documents tell you to follow Roberts Rules, you can bend them a bit. This includes motions not needing to be seconded. I have yet to see a board member get arrested by the Roberts Rules police.
Want to learn about serving on a board of directors?
Come to our "To Serve or Not to Serve" class at the Katzman Garfinkel & Berger's
Law and Learning Center at 5297 West Copans Road, Margate Fl. 33063.

The The Purchase Latin Jazz Orchestra presents the world premiere of The Palladium Suite by Latin jazz great Ray Santos in a concert entitled "Santos at Seventy-Five" March 27 at 7:30 PM in the Purchase College Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 914-251-6200 or visiting www.artscenter.org.
Purchase College, State University of New York, is located at 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, N.Y.
The Palladium Suite is a tribute to the famous ballroom on 53rd Street and Broadway in New York City that was the outstanding venue for all the great Latin music and dancing during the late 1940s through the mid 1960s. The composition consists of four parts. Part I, "Millenium III," is a fast rumba/mambo, in the style of the popular instrumentals of that era, which were used to show off the versatility of the ensemble performances of bands such as Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez. Part II is named "The Hollywood Bolero." It is a slow tempo type of music using lush, romantic harmonies that gave dancers a chance to get up close and relax after the fast tempo mambo. "Blue Montuno" is the title of Part III. It employs the 12-bar Blues form at the medium tempo that was very popular with dancers doing the cha-cha, which was the rage in the 1950s. As in the previous two sections, there is ample room for ad lib improvisation by the individual soloists in the orchestra. Part IV is aptly named "The Closer." It is played at the fast tempo that was typical of the last piece played at the end of a half-hour set at The Palladium. As in Part I, it served to let the band and singers shine and, at the same time, set up a challenge to any band that was to follow on the bandstand.
The Palladium Suite was commissioned by the Purchase Latin Jazz Orchestra, with support from the New York State Music Fund.
Ray Santos is artist-in-residence at the Purchase College School of the Arts, Conservatory of Music. For years, he was one of Latin Music's best-kept secrets. That changed when his arrangement of Beautiful Maria of My Soul for the film The Mambo Kings was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song. He also penned the arrangements for the tunes Perfidia and Quiereme Mucho, which were sung on the soundtrack by Linda Ronstadt, who then contacted him to arrange and conduct the material for an album of Latin standards. The result of the Ronstadt/Santos collaboration was Frenesi, a tour-de force production that earned the Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album of the Year.
A New York City native and Juilliard graduate, Santos is an accomplished saxophonist and composer. He is also an ace arranger who has penned an extensive output of charts, recorded by two generations of the most influential musical figures in contemporary American and Caribbean music, including Machito, Mario Bauza, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez.
He has contributed to and collaborated on several Grammy award winning albums with such artist as Eddie Palmieri, Paquito D'Rivera and Tito Puente.
He has been artist-in-residence at City College of New York for over 20 years. Among his numerous awards are the Chico O'Farrill Lifetime Achievement Award and the Bobby Capo Achievement Award.
The concert is supported by the Wachovia Foundation Fund for the School of the Arts and the Westchester Community Foundation.

According to the article: Study brings renewed hope for Stimuvax as a potential lung cancer vaccine
published on The Global Dispatch website on March 21, 2014 there may be new hope for patients suffering with lung cancer.
So far the studies have good news for mice with lung cancer. The medication boosts the mice immune system and reduces the number of tumors in the mice being tested.
In the article is states that Michael DeGregorio a UC Davis professor of medicine says: 'We are looking at tecemotide as a potential maintenance therapy to prolong survival and improve quality of life.'
Tecemotide is also known as Stimuvax.
To see the UC Davis article: Potential lung cancer vaccine shows renewed promise
To help lessen the possibility of contracting lung cancer don't smoke and don't breath second hand smoke, also there is such a thing as third hand smoke which you breath in when sitting on furniture that has the smoke in the fabric or curtains, sheets, pillows, etc.

Every so often the issue come up in pro sports- how committed should a player be when it comes playing through an injury or being prepared to play their best at all times.
The Phillies, who are going through a slump on all levels this season, had this issue rear it's ugly head on Sunday May 11th when they lost a game to the Mets.
Papelbon the Phillies highly paid closer didn't play and numerous fans felt it cost them the game. Papelbon stated in an article on Philly.com:
It's just basically a soreness that I wasn't comfortable with throwing; I felt like it could create more injury," he said. "Instead of missing 30 or 40 or 50 games, I decided it would be best for my team and my career to maybe sit one out.
GM Reuben Amaro Jr. stood by his $50 million dollar man stating, "If we risk having him not pitch one game so he can pitch 30 more, that's what we're going to do."
The fans however were not so sympathetic. In their minds Papelbon held back just because he wanted a day off. Visions of Ricky Waters, "For who, for what," statement danced in their minds. Philly fans, being some of the most rabid sports fans around voiced their displeasure at Papelbon's lack of effort on the airwaves, in the local watering holes, and in conversations around water-coolers throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
The nature of all the conversation-pro athletes and their seemingly lack of commitment or effort to the game once they get the big $ contracts.
Whether this is true of Papelbon or not, in the past Philly fans have been burned by players who received big money to play in Philly, but fell far short of being a player worthy of the money they received - most recently Andrew Bynum and Nnamdi Asomugha.
Only time will tell whether Papelbon;' name is permanently added to the list of Philly's Biggest Sports Busts or whether he will become a hero to the fans.

Hi everybody,
Sorry I haven't been on alot. I was hoping to upload some new pics by now, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Things have been going very well around here, but everything is taking longer than I had hoped. Here's a quit update on what is going on:
- Regan's 14th b-day party went really well and was a fun and low-key party. All the kids got along well and played together all day. Honestly that surprised me because there are alot of personalities and age differences in the group. Her big surprise gift was a ticket to see Lady Gaga in Feb. She's already planning her outfit.
- All the tile in the basement is up but my work has been stalled until a plummer comes. We have decided to move our old bar which contains a sink, so the water needs to be shut off there.
- The kid's last day of school in on Thurs. I cannot wait. It will be nice to have them around more and also to not have to drive to the elementary school 2x a day. :)
- I'm trying to plan two shorter vacations over the summer. One to DC and one to Gettysburg. Regan is going to the beach with my MIL and SIL. During that week, Jon and I are thinking about taking Ian to Gettysburg. He is a history fanatic.
- We had a HUGE family meeting concerning how everyone in the house needs to help. Now every Sunday, we get together and plan our week, get our jobs for the week and discuss any issues that may have come up. Working well so far.
- I have started WW this past week. It has not been easy, but so far so good.
- I'm currently up to 21 books read for my yearly book goal of 56. I'm a little behind, so I'll have to throw some short books in there. :)
- Right now I'm so busy, that I'm kind of losing my mind. Too much to do. Hopefully when school lets out, I'll get a little breather. Whew!
Thinking about you guys and hoping all is well! :)

Way to go Carrie!
I'm glad that Regan's party was a huge success.
Sounds like your basement is really coming along. You are making great progress!
My DD's last day of school was yesterday, so today is the first full day of summer vacation. Rain is in the forecast all day. Yuck! But she is sleeping in and will hvae a great day regardless of the weather!
Oh the family meetings....I can relate.
And I can relate on the eating and being on plan. I was doing so well in April and then May went downhill and I haven't been able to get back on track quite yet. Maybe with school out?
DC is so much fun. We have been so many times but I swear I see something new every time we go. I love it! I have never been to Gettysburg but am planning to go. I too love the history of it as well as the ghosts.
My reading is stalled. But hopefully I can get some books in by our new pool. Currently I am reading Look Better Naked.
Well, off to ride my recumbent bike.
Hugs my friend,
