Things to do in the Whitsundays
The Whitsunday Coast is a cosmopolitan and enchanting peninsula that stretches far to encompass secluded beach townships, inland regional centres and picturesque hinterland. A tropical playground of sparkling azure water and white-sand beaches, the Coast is one of Australia's foremost tourist attractions. Renowned as the country's best vantage point from which to explore both the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays (a group of 74 spectacular atolls) the Coast is also home to Airlie Beach – an international party town that buzzes with restaurants, bars, clubs and backpackers.
The Whitsundays offers a diverse landscape to be explored. The mainland is peppered with well-priced holiday spots and charming Queensland country towns, while the Whitsundays provide access to luxurious resorts, family-friendly vacation packages and exquisite island views. Visit Airlie Beach, a charismatic coastal town, beloved by locals and tourists alike for its laid-back vibe and affordable lifestyle. Get back to nature in Bowen, where the seaside location inspires swimming, snorkelling and fishing and the Big Mango stands proudly, as a salute to the famous fruit. Wander the streets of Proserpine, home to quaint shops and country-style hotels, serving hearty pub meals with old-fashioned hospitality. Sail the Whitsundays and explore the islands, in a stunning setting unmatched around the globe. Enjoy the full experience with a stay at one of the island resorts, or take a day trip from the mainland to get the best of both worlds.
The Whitsunday Coast might be famous for its beaches, islands and backpackers, however the area also boasts an impressive shopping scene. Airlie Beach is the area's retail hub; the main street dotted with shops selling everything from swimwear and casual beachwear to fashionable garments and Whitsundays souvenirs. Every Saturday morning the foreshore hosts local markets, overflowing with arts, crafts, fashion, and fresh produce. A few minutes away, the residential town of Cannonvale features fashion and homewares boutiques and two major shopping centres. In the Whitsundays, Hamilton Island and Hayman Island are havens for upmarket shopping. Hamilton Island's shopping scene is mainly focused at the Marina Village and Resort Centre, where local art, fashion and jewellery are on display at boutiques and specialty stores. Hayman Island also features a range of boutiques, which offer both highly sort after Australian and international brands.
Airlie Beach fosters an impressive casual dining and bar scene, with menus offering fish and chips, wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood and local beef dishes. Nearby, the residential town of Cannonvale also features a number of enticing casual dining experiences, serving great food at affordable prices. Inland, on the Bruce Highway, Proserpine reflects country Queensland at its best with a lively pub restaurant scene. At the northern tip of the Whitsunday Coast, Bowen – made famous by Baz Luhrmann's Australia – features a number of resort restaurants, which offer a fine dining experience to cater for affluent diners. Islands like Hamilton Island and Hayman Island boast the area's most upmarket dining options. Hamilton Island hosts more than a dozen restaurants and cafés, while resort island Hayman offers an impressive array of restaurants and eateries, all overseen by a multi-award winning executive chef.
The Whitsunday Coast maintains a lively social scene, with its collection of pubs, bars, nightclubs and hostels. Airlie Beach is a hub of activity, especially popular among the backpacker community. Relax with a beer and get to know the friendly locals at one of the pubs, bars, or hostels around town. Off the mainland, the Whitsunday islands offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy first-rate food and wine experiences. Get amongst the atmosphere at the tavern on Daydream Island. Indulge in a poolside cocktail at one of Hamilton Island's swim-up pool bars. Relish the magnificent tropical sunset, wine in hand, at one of the island bars. Nearby, Hayman Island is setting a world standard for service and hospitality; an ideal atmosphere for relaxation, indulgence and a bottle of fine wine.

I bought these Riedel "O" Trio Cabernet / Merlot (Set of 3) as a gift. The recipient loved them; like the idea that the glasses are lead free. They also were familiar with this brand name.

When West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen closes his eyes and thinks Kansas State football, he thinks of grittiness, toughness, and discipline.
When he thinks of his own Mountaineers, he thinks the opposite.
''They're a physical group,'' Holgorsen said of the Wildcats. ''They're extremely disciplined and it doesn't matter if it's offense, defense, special teams, their whole program is built around being tough - mentally tough, physically tough, very disciplined, and they just play with a tremendous amount of effort.
''Any coach at any level across the country could turn on the tape on all three sides of the ball and have an appreciation of how they coach their kids and how they get those kids to be very physical and very disciplined.''
In the wake of last week's disaster against Texas Tech, his ideas of the Mountaineers are distinctly different.
''We were way too hesitant,'' he said. ''When the situation got the best of us, we lost technique and we lost confidence. That has something to do with a mindset. I'm really disappointed we weren't able to bow up when we faced some adversity when we were getting down. Bottom line is we were kinda getting our butt kicked there, and we didn't have anybody bow up.''
That will have to change when the lone unbeaten team left in the Big 12 comes calling at Mountaineer Field on Saturday.
''This (WVU) group (Sunday), their sense of urgency was a lot better than it was during the game, it was a lot better than it was during the travel based on these guys getting their confidence taking a hit, kinda being a little bit embarrassed.
''I do think we'll bow up and I do think we'll play a lot harder, and I think we'll play a lot better this week.''
So does that mean the Mountaineers will turn things around in a week's time and win a game in what Holgorsen termed ''our biggest challenge of the year?''
Well ...
''That doesn't mean we're going to win because we have a really good team coming in there,'' he said.
Led by Heisman candidate quarterback Collin Klein, the Big 12's most versatile quarterback, and running back John Hubert, the Wildcats don't wow you, but they do beat you.
Cline has completed 79 of 118 passes for 1,074 yards and seven touchdowns and run 98 times for 510 yards and 10 touchdowns. He set the FBS record of 27 rushing TDs by a quarterback last season.
The K-State media relations department points out that Klein put himself in elite company last season, when he became the fourth player from a BCS AQ school to rush for 20 touchdowns and throw for at least 10 in a season (a pace he's easily on again in 2012).
The three others to do it -Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, and Eric Crouch - all won a Heisman Trophy.
Running back John Hubert rushes for 101 yards per game on the league's second-best rushing team. The Wildcats also excel at holding onto the ball -they've turned it over four times in six games - and, like so many other Big 12 teams, they are good at keeping drives going, averaging 52 percent success on third down.
There are five league teams, including West Virginia, ranked in the top 14 nationally in that category, all surviving third down more than half the time.
Other than that, the Wildcats' style of play under 72-year-old coach Bill Snyder, is the anti-Big 12.
If Baylor plays offense like its hair is on fire, Kansas State plays it like it doesn't have a care in the world.
The Wildcats bleed a play clock for all it's worth.
''That's what they do and they're really good at it,'' Holgorsen said. ''They do a great job controlling the clock.''
With all of the success Snyder has had during two different stints in Manhattan, that's not going to change, no matter what's happening in the landscape around him.
''You play within your capabilities,'' Snyder said. ''You do what it is you do. It is what it is. You don't change your structure of what you do that you've invested so many repetitions in. You go play your game, I think.''
Speaking of teams that won't change what they do, West Virginia is the same way. Holgorsen simply termed last week's offensive effort as a poor day at the offense.
And who doesn't have those?
"We'll go about it the same way we went about it the previous five games when we were successful offensively,'' he said.

A teacher at Schofield Middle School is accused of reading "pornography" to students. (WRDW-TV / March 14, 2012)
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- School officials failed to contact Aiken Public Safety after a student complained that his teacher read pornographic material aloud to his classroom.
Schofield Middle School officials refused an on-camera interview and would not answer questions from News 12's Elizabeth Owens.
The only information school officials would share was that "as in protocol, anytime someone is investigated, they are put on administrative leave." School officials said they would not comment because they were trying to protect employees' rights.
According to the incident report, a teacher had been reading pornographic material from the Internet to the students in class. One of the stories was about prostitutes having their faces covered with ejaculation.
"I'm at a loss for words, really," said Brenda Johnson after reading the allegations in the incident report. "I don't see how that's educational related at all."
Lt. David Turno said the allegations could result in criminal charges.
"There is a large law book we got to look through. Certainly one that comes to mind is contributing to the delinquency of a minor," he said.
Police only learned of the incident after a parent came to them. The report shows the mother first went to the school principal but was told by her, "they would handle it in-house."
South Carolina law requires school officials to go to law enforcement anytime there is a possibility of criminal activity. Public Safety officers say the school did not contact them about this case.
This isn't the first time Aiken County Public Schools have violated South Carolina law by failing to report possible crimes to law enforcement. News 12 On Your Side first told you about two students who reported they were sexually assaulted at school but school officials only went to deputies after the second student filed a report with law enforcement.
The teacher has not been charged at this time.
Statement from the Aiken County School District:
"The Aiken County Public School District releases the following information in connection with recent inquiries about allegations of inappropriate materials being utilized regarding the district's literacy initiative by a teacher at Schofield Middle School.
This incident involved a student's complaint concerning materials characterized by the student and his parent as pornographic. The complaint was communicated to the school last Friday and followed by a conference with the school administration Friday afternoon. The administration gathered a written statement by the student (normal procedures) and initiated an immediate investigation, indicating to the parent after reviewing the student's statement that the investigation would continue.
The administration, concerned with the report that the books in question being utilized by the teacher had curse words and terms that might not be age appropriate, continued the investigation on Monday the 12th. Early that morning, during the on-going review of these books and the gathering of more information about class occurrences, the administration was notified by law enforcement that the parent had filed a complaint with them as well.
Pending the investigation of this matter and the exchange of factual information with public safety, the matter has continued to be investigated and parent concerns dealt with. Two of three books that had been selected and utilized by the teacher were determined to have materials (primarily swear words) and, in some instances, subject matter terminology that the school administration considers inappropriate for the middle school age. At least one staff member is presently on administrative leave while this matter is being reviewed and the investigation completed.
The district and law enforcement work on a cooperative basis, and Aiken Public Safety will determine if any of the events in question violate the law. The administrative investigation will include a determination as to the timely following of reporting protocol, based upon all factual circumstances surrounding the nature of the complaint. Matters that involve personnel considerations are dealt with promptly but must take into account reasonable measures to protect the privacy of students and staff.
For additional information on reading material for middle grades, please contact Mrs. Joy Shealy, academic officer of Middle Schools, at (803) 641-2404 or email@example.com."

Today's letters: Creative revenue
Published: Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 5:36 p.m.
To the editor: I was glad to see the Flat Rock Playhouse folks explain the issue of exporting shows to other locations. The idea of FRP money being used to set up a new venue in Myrtle Beach, Cherokee or anywhere else would indeed be absurd, but that is not what is being pursued.
The real business story is that theaters across the country earn new sources of revenue by selling their shows to other venues once they have maxed out the local audience. This was once a standard pattern at the FRP with the Farquhar family, who at one point had FRP productions travel far and wide looking for new audiences.
The reason it makes such good sense is that once the FRP has already put the capital into the production of a show (props, costumes, etc.), the profit margin on taking that show under someone elses overhead is very good. A third-party venue (like Harrahs) pays the FRP a contracted fee for a show the FRP has already assembled, and the money flows right back to supporting operations here at the home base.
It is just the sort of creative revenue extension we should be encouraging.

Decency debate
To the editor: John Fogles recent column, on the moral superiority (decency) of Republicans over Democrats and how the liberals stole the recent election by employing dirty tactics that conservatives were too principled to match, certainly grabs ones attention. I read and reread it, looking in vain for just a hint of irony. Not there.
Could Fogle be a moderate just hoping to start a dialogue? Sorry, thats not there, either. The man means it; he really means it.
May I respectfully remind Mr. Fogle of Watergate? Has there been any Democratic administration in the past century as utterly devoid of decency as Richard Nixons? And how about W. and his personal Iraq war? Does anyone still claim that adventure was about weapons of mass destruction? Or about 9/11?
Finally, speaking of stolen elections, never has the U.S. Supreme Court so disgraced itself as when its five conservative members ordered that the vote count in Florida be stopped. See Bush v. Gore.
Mr. Fogle, I am sure you can construct a litany of instances of Democratic overstepping and embarrassments, but do not tell us that the GOP has an exclusive on decency.
Tom Cameron
A cap on charity
To the editor: The season of giving is a time to give thanks and give back. From Hurricane Sandy to your favorite local nonprofits, America is at its best when it comes together to help others. Unfortunately, incentives that encourage our can-do, giving spirit are threatened like never before and at a time when theyre needed most.
The president and Congress are considering caps or cuts to the charitable deduction. While our nation faces a real and urgent budget crisis, this approach would have dire consequences. Our future depends on a strong philanthropic sector for a faster, sustainable economic recovery. Congress and the administration must recognize the value of an independent, nonprofit infrastructure with long-standing experience to serve community needs.
Individual contributions to charitable causes in this country account for 73 percent of all charitable giving. The charitable deduction is different than other itemized deductions in that it rewards a selfless act by encouraging individuals to give part of their income to worthy causes. Data suggest that for every dollar subject to the charitable deduction, the public typically receives $3 of benefit.
Now is not the time to cut or cap the lifeblood of giving that supports nonprofit organizations work for our community.

On the face of it, the Creative Commons project appears to be a success. It has generated interest in the issue of intellectual property and the erosion of the "public domain", and it has contributed to re-thinking the role of the "commons" in the "information age". It has provided institutional, practical and legal support for individuals and groups wishing to experiment and communicate with culture more freely. A growing number of intellectual and artistic workers are now enrolling in the Creative Commons network and exercising the agency and freedom it has made available. Yet despite these efforts, questions remain about the Creative Commons project's aims and intentions and the vision of free culture that it offers. These questions become all the more significant as the Creative Commons develops into a more influential and voluble "representative" and public face for libre culture.
Questions remain about the Creative Commons project's overall aims and intentions and the vision of free culture that it offers
We recognise the constructive nature of the work done by the Creative Commons and, in particular, its chief protagonist, Lawrence Lessig. Together they have generated interest in important issues that we hold dear. But here we wish to stand back for a while and subject some of the ideas of the Creative Commons project to interrogation and critique. We don't do this because we think that we have a better understanding of the actions of and motivations of individuals and groups involved in libre culture. In fact, without a great deal of symbolic violence, we think it would be impossible to faithfully represent libre culture in all of its diversity. So rather than attempting to represent what libre culture is, an ill-fated and thankless task, we work on the basis of what it could become. This isn't a question of mimesis, of Archimedean points, of hermeneutics. It's a question of thinking about libre culture in a more experimental and political way.
We argue that the Creative Commons project on the whole fails to confront and look beyond the logic and power asymmetries of the present. It tends to conflate how the world is with what it could be, with what we might want it to be. It's too of this time—it is too timely. We find an organisation with an ideology and worldview that agrees too readily with that of the global "creative" and media industries. We find an organisation quick to accept the specious claims of neo-classical economics, with its myopic "incentive" models of creativity and an instrumental view of culture as a resource. Lawrence Lessig is always very keen to disassociate himself and the Creative Commons from the (diabolical) insinuation that he is (God forbid!) anti-market, anti-capitalist, or communist. Where we might benefit from critique and distance, the Creative Commons is too wary to advocate anything that might be negatively construed by the "creative" industry. Where we would benefit from making space available for the political, the Creative Common's ideological stance has the effect of narrowing and obscuring political contestation, imagination and possibility.
A commons without commonalty
Like others before him, Lawrence Lessig bemoans the loss of a realm of freely shared culture. He writes about the colonisation of the public domain brought about by extensions in intellectual property law and the closing down of the technical architecture of the internet. He rightly identifies the way in which global media corporations have lobbied to extend the terms of copyright law so that they can continue to profit from their ownership of creative works. He also identifies the way in which private interests are simultaneously encoding and enrolling digital technologies in order to support their control of artistic and intellectual creativity. Whereas others who problematise these trends turn to the political, the legal professor's penchant is to turn to the field of law and lawyers. What follows is a technical attempt to (re-)introduce a commons by instituting a farrago of new legal licences in the existing system of exploitative copyright restrictions. This is the constructive moment of the so-called "Creative" Commons.
We'll return to this shortly. But first, before getting ahead of ourselves, we should recognise that the action that the Creative Commons project takes is already anticipated in how they represent social reality and define the "problem" in hand. The way in which we construct a problem is also to always render certain beliefs and actions (and not others) obligatory and justified. And so, if anywhere, this is where we must look first.
For us, Lessig's particular understanding of the world, and his desire to strike a balanced bargain between the public and private that follows from this, appear naïve and outmoded in the age of late capitalism. Listen to the political economists. Capital is continually rendering culture and communication private, subject to property rights and the horror of commercial exploitation and beautification. When immaterial labour is hegemonic, the relationship codified in intellectual property between the "public" and "private", between labour and capital, becomes a crucial locus of power and profit. And it is quite natural that private interests would want to protect and extend this profit base at all costs. Their existence depends on it. If libre culture or the Creative Commons threatens this profit base in any way, wars of manoeuvre and position will ensue, where corporations and the state will set out either to crush or co-opt.
Capital is continually rendering culture and communication private, subject to property rights and the horror of commercial exploitation and beautification... And it is quite natural that private interests would want to protect and extend this profit base at all costs
The paramount claim of Lessig's prognosis about the fate of culture is that we will be unable to create new culture when the resources of that culture are owned and controlled by a limited number of private corporations and individuals. As far as it goes, this argument has appeal. But it also comes packaged with a miserable, cramped view of culture. Culture is here viewed as a resource or, in Heidegger's terms, " standing reserve ". Culture is valued only in terms of its worth for building something new. The significance, enchantment and meaning provided by context are all irrelevant to a productivist ontology that sees old culture merely as a resource for the "original" and the "new". Lessig's recent move to the catchphrase "Remix Culture" seems to confirm this outlook. Where culture is only standing reserve it can be owned and controlled without ethical question. The view of culture presented here is entirely consistent with the creative industry's continual transformation of the flow of culture, communication and meaning into decontextualised information and property.
This understanding of culture frames the Creative Common's overall approach to introducing a commons in the information age. As a result, the Creative Commons network provides only a simulacrum of a commons. It is a commons without commonalty. Under the name of the commons, we actually have a privatised, individuated and dispersed collection of objects and resources that subsist in a technical-legal space of confusing and differential legal restrictions, ownership rights and permissions. The Creative Commons network might enable sharing of culture goods and resources amongst possessive individuals and groups. But these goods are neither really shared in common, nor owned in common, nor accountable to the common itself. It is left to the whims of private individuals and groups to permit reuse. They pick and choose to draw on the commons and the freedoms and agency it confers when and where they like.
We might say, following Gilles Deleuze, that the Creative Commons licensing model acts as a " plan(e) of organisation ". It places a grid over culture, communication and creativity, dividing it and cutting it into discrete pieces, each of which have their own distinct licence, rights and permissions defined by the copyright holder who "owns' the work. Lessig's attempt to make it easier to understand which creative works can, or cannot, be used for modification (due to copyright) has spawned a monster with a thousand heads. The complexity of licences and combinations of licences in works has expanded exponentially.
Lessig's attempt to make it easier to understand which creative works can, or cannot, be used for modification (due to copyright) has spawned a monster with a thousand heads. The complexity of licences and combinations of licences in works has expanded exponentially
This plane of organisation ensures that legal licences and lawyers remain key nodal and obligatory passage points within the Creative Commons network, and thereby constitute blockages in the flow of creativity. But what is happening is that the ethical practice of sharing communication and culture is being conflated with a legal regime that seeks bureaucratically to enforce the same result through comprehensively drafted and dense legalese. At least Richard Stallman and his ingenious GNU General Public License (GPL) is honest in claiming to be an ethical rather than purely legal force. The GNU GPL has tenacity not due to its legal form alone. The GPL is based on a network of ethical practices that continually (re-)produce its meaning and form. The commons is always more than a formal legal construct. The commons is based on commonalty.
Very simply put, the commons has historically been understood as something shared in common. In pre-capitalist times the commons were referred to as " Res Communes ". This included natural things that were used by all, such as air and water. This ancient concept of the commons can be traced through Roman law into the various European legal systems. Through migration and colonisation, it can also be found in the United States and other countries around the world. In the UK, there's still the concept of common lands, albeit a pale shadow of what went before. In the United States, the concept of public trust doctrine is an application of the ancient idea of the commons. To a certain extent the commons, as Res Communes, lies outside the property system. It is separate from both private ( Res Privatae ) and state ( Res Publicae ) ownership. Through copyright the Creative Commons attempts to construct a commons within the realm of private ownership ( Res Privatae ). The result is not, dare we say it, a commons at all. The commons are formed through commonalty and common rights, resistant to any mechanisms of privatisation, whether those of the Creative Commons or not. Without commonalty, without the common substrate through which singularities act, live and relate, there could be no commons at all.
A commons with commonalty
The marketing and PR of the creative industries, their lobbying attempts and their lawyers, have not managed to persuade us that they are true friends of creativity. They don't convince us of their specious incentive claims nor of the idea that sharing knowledge, concepts and ideas is criminal. If anything, property is the corruption and the crime: an act of theft from the common substrate of creativity. But still global media corporations continue to work to transform the system — legally, technologically and culturally — to facilitate their ownership and control of creativity. This is a social-factory of immaterial labour where all of life — loving, thinking, feeling and sharing — is subject to the corruption of privatisation and property.
The marketing and PR of the creative industries, their lobbying attempts and their lawyers, have not managed to persuade us that they are the friends of creativity. They don't convince us of their incentive claims nor of the idea that sharing knowledge, concepts and ideas is criminal
As we've already suggested, the commons is an ethical and not just a legal matter. We underscore the point. The commons rests on commonalty, on ethical practices that emerge rhizomatically through the actions, experiences and relations of decentralised individuals and groups, such as the free/libre and open-source movement. For this reason, libre culture is far more than just a protest movement. It is not only reactive; it is productive. It creates new forms of life through its practices. It creates new possibilities. Yet, in our view, there has to be a political dimension to libre culture as well. This expresses itself through political imagining, action and a broader struggle for true democracy. And, as such, it is important to recognise the damage that could be done to libre culture by those spokespeople who seek to depoliticise it. In the world in which we find ourselves, political awareness, resistance and struggle are essential in order to defend the idea and practice of a creative field of concepts and ideas that are free from ownership — to stand up, that is, for the commons and commonalty. It is to the political struggle of libre culture and the commons that we finally turn.
Where is the politics of libre culture to be found? The answer: at numerous levels. Political struggle will no doubt be orientated towards the nation state (as Maureen O'Sullivan argued in " A law for free software" in issue 2 of Free Software Magazine). For the time being at least, nation states are obligatory passage points that retain a privileged position in upholding and enforcing law. But it cannot remain there alone. The commonalty of creativity shows little regard for national boundaries and, of course, neither does the global reach of the profiteers from the creativity and media industry. Creativity is at once too small and too large. Political action and the struggle for true democracy will have to also be aimed simultaneously at local and global levels. For the latter, we might envisage a treaty obligation through measures such as preventing the commodification of human DNA and life itself or a UN protectorate to defend the sanctity of ideas and concepts. We might picture something akin to Bruno Latour's " Parliament of Things ", a space where not just the human is represented, but all of life has a defender, all of life has a voice.
Law is a juridico-legal grid placed on social life. This grid is upheld and enforced by a network of states and other forces of governance and governmentality. Reliance on law and the state makes the legal licences of the Creative Commons (or other legal versions of the commons for that matter) vulnerable and precarious. We cannot be sure, as yet, how Creative Commons licences will stand up in legal practice. For they have not been properly tested. But there is one thing of which we can be relatively sure. In principle, we might all be equal in the eyes of law. In principle, the ladder of the law might not have a top or a bottom. But, in practice, economic power matters. We know that law and the state are not immune to economic persuasion, to lobbying, to favours and so forth. And, because of this, the commons remains subject to the threat and corruption of privatisation and commodification.
What we would stress is that such rights originate with the people through political struggle, not with the state, or with legislatures or legal professors setting them down on pieces of paper
We do not want to suggest by this that all legal and public rights, including the protection of the commons by the state or global institutions such as the UN, are worthless. This would be a perversion of our position. What we would stress is that such rights originate with the people through political struggle, not with legislators or legal professors setting them down on pieces of paper. And if these rights are to be maintained, if a commons is to be instantiated and protected, there is a need for political awareness, for political action, for democracy. Which is to say, any attempt to impair commonalty and common rights for concepts and ideas must meet resistance. We need political awareness and struggle, not lawyers exercising their legal vernacular and skills on complicated licences, court cases and precedents. We're sorry to say, however, that this does not appear to be a political imaginary (and political struggle) that the Creative Commons project shares or supports.
Turged Academic Theory

Subject: Turged Academic Theory
This whole article reads as a pretentious 2nd or 3rd year University Assignment. Waaaaay to much time arguing cultural semantics and not enough on anything mildly constructive. You may as well have just titled the article "Theory VS Pragmatism" and be done with it.
Also, beginning an article with some thinly veiled praise to spend the remainder on the evils of LL is rather poor. The tone of your article also markedly changes once you finish your intro and basically comes across as a bit of a hachet job.
Lecturer's Comments.
Interesting attempt but you need to explore more fully what the trade-off's are between what is a pragmatic approach verses a more theoretical analysis. Note: Quoting someone as if what they said were fact and not attributing it gets you marked down.

I find it rather strange that someone arguments against CC not being consequent, if such an article is published in a non-free content. From my view Lessig has made the right steps to beat the system with its own weapons. And more important ... lobbying a new culture - something people can understand and join. Right now applications (like Inkscape) are constructed who make it possible to publish files under a free license. Lessig always said that they know that their solution is not the best. They have lost some legal fights because the legal environment and the system is like it is. CC gives, just like the GPL us something we can use instead of just sitting and thinking that we ca not change this. This issue is about beginning to think that other cooperations are possible. This is very hard work - even with people that claim themselves to be progressive.
More than a simulacrum of a polemic vs. CC?
From: Knud Boehle
Date: 2005-08-04
Subject: More than a simulacrum of a polemic vs. CC?
Dear authorrs, dear readers,
the article tells us that CC fits into capitalism ("If anything, property is the corruption and the crime; an act of theft from the common substrate of creativity"), and that fighting for "libre culture" und "true democracy" would require something else. References to Heidegger, Deleuze, and Latour serve to inflate the subject.
The actual benefits of CC are ignored, in particular the role of CC to empower creators (cf. e.g. the article of Mia Garlick clearing the air of what CC is and does today; http://www.indicare.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=124).
Nevertheless, the question what "commons" can mean today is worthwhile and should be separated from the attack against CC ("provides only a simulacrum of a commons"). The authors' model is GNU GPL ("based on a network of ethical practices") referring to something shared in common.
While the Free and Open Source Software movement may be interpreted this way, the authors fall short to at least outline how this model may look like when applied to media production and publications (the fields CC addresses).

Much as it did in the North Coast Section playoffs last season, the Monte Vista High girls soccer team seized the moment in a 2-0 East Bay Athletic League win over visiting Livermore on Tuesday.
The Mustangs (6-4-4, 4-2-2 EBAL) needed a win to improve their chances of earning a return trip to NCS and defending their Division I title. Teams must have .500 records either in league or overall to qualify for the postseason.
The Mustangs got a strong effort from attacker Ashlynn Goerz, who is headed to Stanford on a lacrosse scholarship. Goerz made it 1-0 in the first half on a header off Chelsea Barry's corner kick, right after Livermore goalkeeper Savannah Winters made a brilliant save on a penalty kick by Arianna Zamora.
"She was a beast all day," Monte Vista coach Brett LeQuesne said of Goerz. "She did a lot of running and was really hard to handle. All that size is just solid ."
Madeline Gibson scored on a penalty kick in the 68th minute.
Livermore (6-6-3, 2-4-3) upended Monte Vista 1-0 on Dec. 18. The Mustangs created numerous chances in the first half, only to be denied by Winters, who had seven saves.
"It was definitely her best effort of the season. Unfortunately it came in a loss," Livermore coach Jason Maratsos said. "They definitely outplayed us."
Don Sanders has been hired as Heritage's coach, athletic director Pat Cruickshank said. Sanders replaces Jeff Haagenson, who stepped down after the 2012 season.
This will be the first varsity head coaching job for Sanders, an anatomy and chemistry teacher at the school who coached on Haagenson's staff for several years. He was the varsity offensive line coach last year and the head freshmen coach for two seasons before that. Sanders also assisted at Liberty and Mt. Eden before his time at Heritage.

Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 16(k). Mediation of Civil Lawsuits.
(1) Definition of Mediation. Mediation under I.R.C.P. 16(k) is the process by which a neutral mediator appointed by the Court or agreed to by the parties assists the parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. The role of the mediator is to aid the parties in identifying the issues, reducing misunderstandings, clarifying priorities, exploring areas of compromise and finding points of agreement. An agreement reached by the parties is to be based on the decisions of the parties, and not the decisions of the mediator,
(2) Matters Subject to Mediation. All civil cases are eligible for referral to mediation under this subsection.
(3) Authority of the Courts. The referral of a civil action to mediation does not divest the court of the authority to exercise management and control of the case during the pending mediation.

(8) Compensation of Mediators. Mediators shall be compensated at their regular fees and expenses, which shall be clearly set forth in the information and materials provided to the parties. Unless other arrangements are made among the parties or ordered by the court, the interested parties shall be responsible for a prorata share of the mediator's fees and expenses. If a mediator is not paid, the court, upon motion of the mediator may order payment.
(9) Impartiality. The mediator has a duty to be impartial, and has a continuing duty to advise all parties of any circumstances bearing on possible bias, prejudice or partiality.
(10) Attendance at the Mediation Session(s). The attorney(s) who will be primarily responsible for handling the actual trial of the matter, and all parties, or insurers, if applicable, with authority to settle, shall attend the session(s), unless otherwise excused by the mediator upon a showing of good cause.
(11) Confidentiality. The mediator shall abide by the confidentiality rules agreed to by the parties. Confidentiality protections of I.R.E. 408 and 507 shall extend to mediations under this Rule.
(12) Sanctions. The mediator shall be subject to sanctions, including removal from the roster of mediators, if the mediator fails to assume the responsibilities provided herein.

Here at EBS Marketing, it's unlikely that we'll go through a week without receiving information about Google changing or updating one of their services. They're constantly tweaking their algorithms and announcing new updates to any number of their endless features. But as Google continue to look to perfect their products, the world-known search engine has decided to part ways with authorship in their search results.
Goodbye Authorship
After years of pushing authorship as a ranking factor, in which a user could link content on the web to their public Google+ profile, thus showing their name and photo in the search results, Google have finally announced the end of authorship.
Two months ago, we saw Google moving away from authorship in the search results; saying goodbye to photos and Google+ information – leaving a link and a the authors name. But now, in September, Google have announced that they are moving away from authorship for good.
John Mueller's Statement
Google's John Mueller discussed the changes saying: "We've gotten lots of useful feedback from all kinds of webmasters and users, and we've tweaked, updated, and honed recognition and displaying of authorship information. Unfortunately, we've also observed that this information isn't as useful to our users as we'd hoped, and can even distract from those results. With this in mind, we've made the difficult decision to stop showing authorship in search results."
Time to Focus on Schema.org
Now with Authorship no longer present in the search results, Google are encouraging webmasters to concentrate on structured markup such as Schema.org. This markup helps all search engines better understand content and webpages on the web – so if you're still unfamiliar with rich snippets and Schema then now's the time to check it out.
To read more about Google's changes, you can read John Mueller's Google+ statement now.

What running goals do you have?
Here's mine:
Break the 30 min 5k mark that I have never done since I started running but I am soooo close to doing it. (I must have a slow gene in my dna)
Run a Half in Canada (planned in May already)
PR as many races I have run before
Do at least one 5k every month forever
Always have a Marathon I am training for .
- Get back to training consistently. I train regularly, but it's been several years since I've had a real plan in place and followed it.
- I'd love to run a sub-4 marathon. But since I'm well on the downslope of my running life, it's not real likely. Past a certain age it gets much harder to get faster.
My goals for 2013:
- log 1,000 miles
- help train my husband for his first 5k
- complete my first 2 half marathons
- complete my first marathon (hoping for sub-4 on it).
- run a 5k under 30 minutes
-never stop running
- keep improving
-keep seeking God.
So excited for 2013. I've got a bunch of races planned.

Since I'm newly back into running my goals are pretty basic.
1. Suffer through the pain until this is enjoyable again.
2. Finish a 5K.
3. Finish a 5K in under 30min
4. Continue training towards 10K.
I think those things would make me proud in 2013.
For 2013:
1. Get out of my happy 5K/10K comfort zone and do a race longer than 10K (either 15K, half or full marathon). I haven't run one of those since...oh my, 2009.
2. Stay in excellent health without any significant injuries.
3. Run at least 10 5Ks/10Ks...especially if #1 doesn't materialize.
No question: Keep on running with a smile on my face!

Goals for 2013:
Keep running regularly each week with my oldest daughter (yay!)
Run 3 5Ks during the year (find them first!)
Avoid letting the mental block keep me from persevering
Like others, to keep running, to cherish family time, to be kind

2013 running goals include:
1. 20 minute 5k (PR is 22:16 currently)
2. 1:40 half marathon (PR is 1:49:09)
3. Complete my first marathon.
4. Run 1000 miles (will end up with about 800 this year).
The 20 minute 5k has been a goal of mine from the start of my running comeback and I think it is doable in 2013 with effort and the right training. While I could have done a marathon already, I didn't want to do it until I felt I was well prepared for it. I think that by fall of next year, I will be.
Good luck with your goals everyone and have a happy new year!

Great thread. It's March 4, 2013 already...
2013 goals:
1. Run Sub-20 minute 5k. I did run an 18 min 30 sec 5k...19 years ago! lol...Actually, just did a tempo run tonight on an indoor track doing 4 miles in 7:53 pace per mile, so I feel this certainly possible by the end
of the year with proper training, discipline, focus, yadda yadda.
2. Stay injury free or at least as least injurous as possible!
3. Start eyeballing 10k's towards the end of the year, do at least one, and slowly increase mileage of my long run from 5-7 miles to 7-10 miles.
4. Don't get mad, get even.
Lifetime goal?
1. Keep fit and keep working out
2. Eventually run up to half-marathon distance races, keep striving for PR's on 5k, 10k, and half-marathon, or at least put in strong efforts.
3. Would love to be able to run an 18 minute 3 miles again (incidentally a perfect PT score for the US Marines. No, I'm not a Marine).
4. Run a sub-40 min 10k. A 2014 goal???
5. Run 6 min per mile pace for all distances up to half-marathon...5k (18:39), 10k (37:17) half-marathon (1:18:36)....But then again, why stop there???
6. Enjoy running more, learning it doesn't have to be struggle and hardship and pain all the time, just some of the time lol
Cheers guys and gals!

Negative Ion Bracelets, Necklaces, and Accessories
My 2013 goal is to run 8 miles in 60 minutes or less. My lifetime goal is to keep running for as long as I can ... running keeps me sane.
I don't have any goals yet. I'm just trying to maintain my running during the winter (and tax season).
Actually, my short term goal was to run at least three days a week (outside) during the winter, and I have done that. I only ran on the treadmill twice, because of the weather.
I have only run one five mile race, which was back on Thanksgiving, but I was thinking of running a half marathon in May. I'd better start setting up some longer weekend runs. I'm only running 4 or 5 miles each time.

ANGELA: What is Headache?
NANCY: Headache refers to any pain that occurs in the head region. It may be due to structures in the head, but not the brain since the brain does not have pain receptors, or pain that radiates from other areas, usually the neck. It is not uncommon for an individual to have multiple types of headaches so one person could have a migraine on Monday, a sinus headache on Wednesday and a tension headache on Friday. That can cause confusion in the diagnosis and treatment since the best treatment varies depending on the type of headache.
ANGELA: What is the best way to sort through headache symptoms?
NANCY: Prepare before your visit to your primary care physicians by keeping a headache diary for a month. There are a number of headache diary forms on line that can help you get organized. What you want to do is identify the characteristics of your headaches.
When a headache occurs, write down:
• The date and time the headache began
• What you ate for the past 24 hours
• How long you slept the night before
• What you were doing and thinking about just before the headache started
• Any stress in your life
• How long the headache lasted
• What you did to make it stop
After a period of time, you may begin to see a pattern. The goal is for the individual to be able to identify the types of headaches they have so they can apply the best treatment for each headache.
The usual impulse is to take pain reliving medication for all types of headaches. Usually that is not the best course of action over the long term. If medications such as Tylenol or ibuprofen are used frequently a problem can occur called "rebound headache" which is a headache caused when the pain medication wears off. Then more pain medication is taken leading to escalation in the frequency of headaches which can be difficult to treat.
ANGELA: What are some danger signs?
NANCY: A sudden, severe headache or sudden headache associated with a stiff neck, headaches associated with high fever, convulsions or accompanied by confusion or loss of consciousness, headaches following a blow to the head or associated with pain in the ear or eye, headaches in people who were previously headache free and recurrent headaches in children. If this occurs, you should seek help as soon as possible.

Romney: IOC Needs to Limit Spending on Olympics
When Mitt Romney ran for president in 2012, he called for cuts in federal spending. Sixteen months after he lost, he's making public pleas for austerity in another arena: the Olympics.
Mr. Romney said Sunday that the International Olympic Committee should take steps to limit spending on the games in the wake of the Sochi Olympics, which are estimated to have cost more than $50 billion.
"Olympic sport can be demonstrated at $2-or-$3 billion," Mr. Romney said on NBC's Meet the Press. "All that extra money could be used to do some very important things in terms of fighting poverty and fighting disease around the world."
Fighting poverty, he said, is where countries should spend their money, instead of "wasting them, in many cases, to show off a country or, I think more cynically, to show off the politicians in a country."
(Mr. Romney wrote an op-ed on extravagent Olympic bills in USA Today last week
Mr. Romney has some experience in the area. His tenure running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City–which were mired in a bribery scandal before he took over–served as a key credential in his subsequent runs for office, especially the governorship of Massachusetts later that year. In 2004, he published a book on his experience.
Even the much smaller bill for those games came back to bite Mr. Romney. Democrats attacked him over the $1.3 billion in federal funds that went to the Salt Lake City Olympics and related security and infrastructure.
Mr. Romney remains a supporter of the Olympics. He called hosting the games "a great experience". And he's signed on as an advisor to a possible bid by Boston to host the 2024 games. A limit on Olympic spending could actually help that city compete with rivals in countries where autocratic governments can promise billions in spending with little regard for public opinion. In Boston, the cost to taxpayers of hosting the games is already controversial.

Noob here. I was just going to lurk for awhile. Then I read Amanda's post. Tough Mudder wow you are my hero and an inspiration.
Hey, I'm new here. I haven't started the C25K yet, I plan to in November. I am 40, 5'4" and 220 lbs. 5 months ago I found out that I have type 2 diabetes, so changes were mandatory. I never wanted to be a runner, but have always admired them. I want to run a trail 5K in June and eventually run a marathon. I think. I have big dreams. Honestly, the idea scares me. Any advice or words of wisdom would help and be greatly apperciated.
finished the MCM 10K yesterday in 1:19:00. So far the knee feels good and I have to go check the scale before I dig in! hope everyone stays dry - Waiting for Sandy to push thru the area...
@CharliiJean - start out slow and build into your workouts - also get good pair of shoes!

Hi All,
I stumbled across this thread quite by accident. Great thread and it's nice to know there's more 200+ lb runners out there besides me.
@ cotterk - Congrats on your first 5k! I ran my first last October and it was a blast. You asked about speed vs stamina. I'd suggest not worrying about speed at all - that will come. Concentrate on running with good form and, once a week, push your distance just a little. If you're running 2 miles 3 or 4 times a week, try a 2.5 or 3 miler on the weekend. That will help your stamina. Try and make a conscious effort to concentrate on a smooth form with strides that aren't too long - the speed will take care of itself.
If you can't resist the need for speed, try running short sprints during your regular runs. Pick a landmars like a couple of telephone poles and put the hammer down between them, then return to your regular pace. Once you've recovered, do it again. This worked for me and got my speed up.
Check out my ramblings if you like....
Hi all!
Thought I would introduce myself and join the thread. I'm Eric Dickey and I'm a newbie runner. I had a sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery) June 19 of this year with a starting weight of 371 and after a little over 4 months of diet and lots of exercise I am down to 250. I started running about 2 1/2 months ago, started the C25K program and just finished it a couple of weeks ago. I have run two 5K races so far: my very first was the Plano (TX) Balloon Festival 5K, where I finished it in a time of 34:27:55 and came in 315 out of 756 runners and my second (but not the last race I will run) was the Lost Dog 5K held at White Rock Lake (Dallas, TX) where I finished in a time of 33:12:40 and placed first in my age and weight divisions. I am about to sign up for a few more before the end of the year and I am planning on running a half marathon by September of next year, if not sooner.
Right now I am currently working on distance over speed in my training, and am running an average of 4.5 to 5 miles at a time, 4 to 5 days a week, trying to maintain a pace of 10:30 per mile.
Anyway, it was nice to find this thread and it's even better to know there are a lot of people in the 200+ pound range who do run! Looking forward to learning from all of you.
Hello Everyone. I'm new here. Just ran my first 2 5k races in October and planning another one this Saturday. I am 39 and in January 2012, I weighed in at 280 pounds. Since then, I've lost 60 pounds. In July, I decided I wanted to run as I have NEVER been able to run (being heavy all my life). The first 5K I did was called a Color Run. It wasn't timed, there was no pressure, people were of all fitness levels. The 5K I finished last weekend (Monster Dash) was horrendous. It mentally about finished me off. =) It was almost an entire mile longer (so a 6K) and my time was WRETCHED! I was SO SCARED I was going to finish last that the last mile to 1/2 mile, I began to cry. However, I finshed!!! This weekend, I'm hoping to fight the battle in my mind and keep my spirits up REGARDLESS of the outcome. I WILL FINISH.
It is good to read here to not focus too much on the time, that eventually that will come. I workout w a trainer 2x a week, and am trying to improve my fitness levels. Time will tell but FINALLY I can say - I'm a runner!! A mile is a mile, is it not??!!
Whew, gotta love it!!

Was over by the gym this evening when I was over that way for hand-2-hand combat training class. Since I was in shorts and a T-shirt rather than full uniform and boots I figured I'd jump on the scale on my way through. The scales are those type that you see in the Dr's office. I slid the weight up to the 300-lb mark and got on the scale just to see what would happen. I had a serious "Oh S---!" moment when the arm of the scale didn't budge. I felt a little batter when I moved it back down to 0-lb and got off the scale and the arm still didn't budge...guess it was broke/stuck. I still felt bad enough that I didn't want to even try the other scale. Maybe next time.
It's nice to see some new people on here. I have some weight loss questions. I started at 225. I am currently 185. I am 5'6". My ideal weight is 135-145. I seem to be only losing 1-2 lbs a week. I am only eating 1200 cal/day. I run 5K 3 days a week. Why am i not losing weight more quickly? Does anyone have any advice? I feel like I could run a lot faster and farther if I lost another 30 lbs. I just completed my first 5K on Oct. 28th my time was 34:07. My goal was 35 so I was ecstatic! I need to do better than 32' in order to beat the two girls who finished ahead of me in my age group. They are friends and train together. We are supposed to be doing another 5K together and I really want to win! Is there anything I can do at my current weight to increase my speed?
2lbs a week is really ideal to lose &keep it off. Just look how far you have come and keep it up.
I just started w4 and was thrilled that I finished it. My pants are looser and I feel better than I have in years. Yes my muscles ache on running days, but It is so worth it. I finally got on a scale at work for the 1st time since July and I am down 14lbs. That all came off since starting c25k in late Sept. I can't believe that I am sitting here wishing my husband would get up so we can go run. Yeah me!
Thanks for the encouragement!
This is my first post. I am currently a 6' male at 236 lbs at 40 years old. Im down from 267 lbs from May. Ive yo yoed a bit however im in a groove. I actually weighed at one point just under 300 lbs. I started riding a mountain bike in Feb and then transitioned to road biking in May and started to "run" a little. My 5k running times were at just under 40 min. However after 3 sprint tris, 2 dualathlons and Muddy Buddy race and 3 5k races, as I stated I am getting in a routine. The reason for the races is for motivation which I lack much of. I need a reason there thats why I sign up for them. My motto is what I call "JFB" (Just finish baby). Getting back to thr primary reason for my post is that if I can do it anybody can. My current times on my 5ks have dropped tremendously in the past 4 to 6 weeks all of a sudden. Im posting low 25 to mid 26 minutes finishes, Its coming together. I was platueing at around 244 lbs forever so I looked at my caloric intake (I love food) and began to watch that much ckoser with the help of the Fitness Pal app on my phone. It helped tremendously! I ddint realized how much the little stuff added up. I say all of this, get up get out, one step at a time, one day at a time! If you fall off the wagon for a period, get back on. Find something that works. I personally didnt follow the C25k however its a proven plan. I can gaurantee this, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE DOING SOEMTHING, YOU ARE LAPPING THE ONES ON THE COUCH NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TIME IS. My motto, JFB!

Way to go Funat50, you too Nicolette! That's some great progress.
For added speed, try some short bursts/sprints during your training runs. Limit them at first and keep good form so you don't over do it - these will help build speed. I usually train at 5k during the week and when I sprinkle in these sprinting intervals I find it makes a difference. I run at an easy pace, and then at some point I pick a couple of land marks like telephone poles and sprint between them, then return to an easy pace. I do that 4 to 6 times during the 5k and it works for me.
I moved my ramblings to the following location. Latest installment is hot off the press...
Hope everyone is doing well - i fell off the wagon last week -- Business trip to Germany - I really like the black beer and jagersnitzel. I back slide a bit and porpoised up above 225. I had been below for couple of weeks but never cracked the 220 barrier.
looking forward to thanksgiving tomorrow -- cooking turkey on the Big Green Egg and doing local 5K. Hope to be back into the swing of things and get weight back down. goal is to crack 220 for Jan1.!
anyway as the dark days of winter approach - I find it harder to get my road work in. something about getting out in the dark that I just don't like.

I am doing great! I did my half marathon in Newton, MA and ran a 2 mile hill. About 250 feet or so. I ran along heartbreak hill and completed my 500 miles in 2012!. I am closing in on my goal of 50 pounds lost for the 2nd year making my grand total nearly 100 pounds so far. I got a treadmill and my home gym in my basement and work out every other day. I hope to break a 30 minute 5k in 2013 and do my first Marathon! Oh. And that last pesky 50 lbs.
The 3 year plan of 345 to 195 is on schedule. =)

Cate Street pays $1.4 million tax bill, but Katahdin region problems remain
A $3 million to $4.5 million cash shortfall and Cate Street's delinquency on its property taxes left Millinocket's town government living hand-to-mouth since June. The $1.06 million payment only adds $450,000 to town coffers, as the town's TIF agreement with Cate Street necessitates returning $591,433 to the New Hampshire-based investor, Daigle said.

Before I give you the recipe for these spicy little gems, I would like to give a shout out to my friend Jbug of Jbug's Kitchen Antics. She presented me with this wonderful award and I'm ever so flattered and tickled pink. Check out her blog for some fantastic gourmet recipes. This woman can cook!
Golden Cinnamon-Pumpkin Bars (from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking)
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1 large egg
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cinnamon chips
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Turn up the heat just a bit and stir until mixture is hot and starting to bubble. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Let cool until you can comfortably test it with your finger.
Add vanilla, baking powder, salt and spices. Beat well. Add egg, beating until smooth and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Stir in the pumpkin, flour, cinnamon chips and dried cranberries, mixing thoroughly. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake the bars for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center reveals moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool on cooling rack.

A long layoff didn't harm the Seneca boys basketball team as the Indians jumped out to a big first quarter lead and blew past Galena (Kan.) 60-45 in a varsity boys basketball game on Thursday.
The Indians imposed their will on the Bulldogs with a pair of big quarters. They jumped out to a 17-4 lead after the first quarter, and went on a 13-4 binge in the third to grab a 51-28 lead entering the fourth.
The Indians improved to 7-3 overall with the victory.
"I was real proud of the kids tonight," Indians coach Will King said. "They came out and played real hard for our first game back, and I'm looking forward to a battle tomorrow in Diamond."
Kyler Ng paved the way for the Indians with 16 points while Elias Roelfsema poured in 11, Jason Mendoza two, Bradley Jumper six, Shane Murphy eight, Logan St. Clair five, Seth Harris three, Chance Smith eight and Jordan Austin one.
Devin Newman led the Bulldogs with 17 points.
The Indians are at Diamond at 6 p.m. today.
