Racism, Law, and Social SciencesThis seminar will provide an in-depth study of theories and methods for analysis of racialization in past and present societies. Analyses of the social construction of racial and ethnic identities have facilitated studies of the ways in which social differences are created, maintained, and masked. Subjects to be addressed in this seminar include the interrelation of racializing ideologies with other cultural and social dimensions, such as class, ethnicity, gender, political and legal structures, and economic influences. We will also consider the related histories of biological and genetic concepts of different races within the human species as part of the context of our study of racism operating within social processes. Requirements for this seminar course include preparation of a research paper and thoughtful class participation. Writing for this seminar may be used as partial fulfillment of the J.D. writing requirement (SRP or WP).Winter 2016
Religion, Law, and PoliticsThis seminar examines the conceptualization and realization of religious liberty and the separation of church and state. We explore philosophical precepts and historical contexts, review the state of the law, and address current controversial issues.Spring 2016
RemediesThe way in which the law responds to violations of rights is no less important than the way in which those rights are allocated. The law of remedies determines the law's response to violations of rights, and in so doing, it delineates their boundaries and gives them legal meaning. Hence, the study of the law of remedies is closely related to the study of the substantive law, each field shedding light on the other. This course focuses on remedies in Contracts and Torts, referring to the goals of the substantive law to better understand the remedial law. It explores the law of damages in both Contracts and Torts and covers topics such as: restitutionary damages; probabilistic recoveries; the relationship between damages and non-legal sanctions; evidential damage; and liquidated damages. The course also covers the remedies of specific performance in Contracts and injunction in Torts and compares and contrasts these remedies with monetary ones. Some of the defenses available to both the breaching party and the wrongdoer, such as mitigation of damages and comparative fault, in Torts and Contracts will also be discussed. This mini-course meets for four weeks (starting January 11 and ending February 4).Winter 2016
Reproductive Health and JusticeThis seminar will examine the history and evolution of legal protections for abortion, contraception and other reproductive health care. We will look at state and federal constitutional, statutory and common law theories used to secure and protect these rights. We will explore current threats and growing barriers to access, including ever-expanding assertions of religious beliefs to limit access to reproductive health care. We will also look at advocacy strategies for addressing those threats and barriers. Grades are based on a final paper and class participation.Autumn 2015
Residential Real Estate Development and the LawThis seminar will guide the student through the twists and turns of a residential real estate development from land acquisition through warranty on the residential unit. We will also examine: rezoning and improvement of the land; governmental agreements and regulation; the joint venture; the contractual relationship with the buyer; and the homeowner's association. All the while, focusing on the myriad of legal issues a developer's attorney encounters along the way. We will study how the law of contracts, real property and land use play an integral role in the residential real estate development. Course materials will include documents from actual transactions such as the acquisition contract, the municipal development agreement, the limited liability company operating agreement, the declaration of covenants, the lot sale and construction agreement and the plat of subdivision. In addition to these materials, coursework will include analysis of state statutes, municipal ordinances and relevant case law. We will take a hands-on approach to the law of residential real estate development and the transactional documents which effectuate these developments. Coursework will include negotiation and drafting exercises where students will gain real life, practical experience in confronting the issues that arise in the context of these developments. Enrollment will be limited to 12 students (as well as an even number of students). Grades will be determined on the basis of: class preparation, attendance and participation (1/4); class exercises and written assignments (1/4); and an open book final exam (1/2).Winter 2016
Roman LawThe seminar develops skill in analyzing legal problems according to the processes of the Roman civil law, in contrast with those of the common law, and does not purport to give a comprehensive treatment of its detailed workings. The material provides an outline of the sources and procedure of Roman private law, followed by an examination of the Roman institutional system, the basis of most modern civil law codes. Particular emphasis is given to property and to obligations (contracts and torts). No knowledge of Latin is required for the seminar. This class will be assessed via a series of short research papers. Because this is a 1L elective, it will be graded on the curve usually applied to courses (as all 1L electives are) and will not count against the seminar limit.Spring 2016
Secured TransactionsThis course deals with the many legal issues that come into play when there are collateralized loans for which the collateral is personal property. Students focus on Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code, and other related laws. This form of lending is central to our economy, and the applicable legal doctrines are ones that every corporate and commercial lawyer should firmly grasp. The course is a useful, though not absolutely essential, preparation for Bankruptcy and Reorganization: The Federal Bankruptcy Code (LAWS 73601). The student's grade is based on a proctored final examination.Autumn 2015
Secured TransactionsSecured lending is central to our economy, and the applicable legal doctrines are ones that every corporate and commercial lawyer should grasp. Focusing primarily on Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, students will learn about different forms of collateral, how security interests are created and perfected, and the remedies available to secured lenders. This course is a useful preparation for Bankruptcy and Reorganization courses, and will be worthwhile for students contemplating private practice in corporate, commercial finance or bankruptcy/workout groups. Grades will be based on a final examination. Open to MBA students.Winter 2016
Seminar on Behavioral Law and EconomicsThis seminar will explore a set of frontier issues at the intersection of law and human behavior, including people's conduct under risk and uncertainty; the commitment to fairness; social influences and peer pressure; extremism; adaptation; happiness; discrimination; and judicial behavior. Some discussion will be devoted to the uses and limits of paternalism. Grades will be based on class participation and a series of short papers.Spring 2016
Strategies and Processes of NegotiationIncreasingly negotiation is part of the day-to-day life of managers. The aim of this class is to make students more effective negotiators. Students should leave the class with (1) a structured approach for preparing for and thinking about negotiations; and (2) a refined set of skills for carrying out negotiations. A central part of the class is an extensive set of negotiation simulations. These simulations take students through a variety of negotiations: single and multiple issue; two-negotiator and multiple-negotiator (coalitional); and internal (within organization) and external. In addition, the class includes a number of cases. Lectures, readings, and structured analytical exercises supplement the simulations and cases.Winter 2016
Structuring Financial InstrumentsThis seminar introduces tax, legal, accounting and economic principles relevant to the structuring of complex financial instruments—from forwards, swaps and options to convertible bonds and other securities with embedded derivatives. Throughout the seminar, different products designed to achieve similar economic goals will be examined to highlight the significance of structuring choices and the range of techniques available. For example, there are various products that can be used to approximate the economics of buying an asset, without an actual purchase of that asset. The seminar will examine how these products are treated differently for tax, securities law, commodities law, bankruptcy, accounting and other purposes, notwithstanding their economic similarity. Students will develop the ability to optimize transactions by selecting among existing financial instruments or inventing new ones. The seminar will also include discussion of policy issues. No specific prerequisites, but introductory income tax recommended, and knowledge of securities law and bankruptcy law helpful. The seminar will be assessed via a) a series of reaction papers (2 credits) or b) via a full-length research paper (3 credits). Class participation and attendance will be considered.Spring 2016
Structuring Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Entrepreneurial TransactionsThis course covers tax, legal, and economic principles applicable to a series of interesting, complex, current entrepreneurial transactions, utilizing venture capital or private equity financing, including (1) new business start-up, (2) growth-equity investment in existing business enterprise, (3) leveraged buyout of private or public company (including going-private transaction), (4) use of flow-through tax entity such as S corporation, partnership, or LLC for variety of venture capital or private equity financed transactions, (5) devising equity-based executive compensation program, (6) private equity financed restructuring or workout (in or out of bankruptcy) for troubled over-leveraged enterprise and utilizing troubled company's NOL after restructuring, (7) devising exit scenario for successful venture capital or private equity financed enterprise (such as IPO, SEC rule 144 sale, sale of company, or merger of company into larger enterprise), and (8) forming new venture capital, LBO, or private equity fund. Substantive subjects include federal income tax, securities regulation, corporate law, partnership law, LLC law, bankruptcy law, fraudulent conveyance law, and other legal doctrines, as well as accounting rules and practical structuring issues (including use of common and preferred stock, subordinated debt, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, warrants, and options), all reviewed in a transactional context, and with discussion of their policy underpinnings and likely future evolution. No specific prerequisites, but introductory income tax strongly recommended, entity taxation desirable, and knowledge of corporate law, securities regulation, bankruptcy, and accounting helpful. However, the course book and the course book appendix contain adequate discussion and supplemental precedents for an understanding of the material covered by the course. The grade is based on a final in-class examination.Spring 2016
Tax ExpendituresThe income tax is the primary means by which the federal government raises revenue. In addition to its revenue-raising function, the tax code also serves as an important mechanism for carrying out social policies in a wide range of areas. This seminar will focus on so-called "tax expenditures," i.e., provisions of the federal tax laws designed to provide tax benefits to particular taxpayers. We will begin by discussing the challenge of defining and identifying "tax expenditures," as well as arguments for and against using the tax code as an instrument of social policy. Then, in successive weeks, we will explore specific categories of federal tax expenditures, including expenditures related to health care, retirement, housing, poverty reduction, state and local government, charitable giving, and education. Introductory Income Taxation is a prerequisite. Students will be evaluated on the basis of in-class participation and a final paper.Spring 2016
Taxation of Corporations IThis course examines income tax aspects of the formations, distributions, and liquidations of corporations. The focus is on transactional and planning aspects of the corporate tax. Prerequisite: Introductory Income Tax required except with permission of the instruction. The student's grade is based on class participation and a final examination.Winter 2016
Taxation of Corporations IIThis course surveys the taxation of reorganizations and other adjustments involving continuing businesses: mergers, asset and stock acquisitions and other similar shifts of ownership and control; recapitalizations; and divisions. Points of focus are the recognition of gain and loss and the survival and allocation of tax attributes (basis, earnings, and loss carryovers) in these transactions. Prerequisites: Taxation of Corporations I. Students' grades based on a final take-home examination or a full-length paper.Spring 2016
Technology PolicyThis seminar will look at a mixture of old and new materials on technology and the law, with a special focus on the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property. We typically read 2-5 recent books. Students write blog posts on the readings which will be posted on the class blog. Students will also comment on posts by other students. The blog postings do not fulfill one of the substantial writing requirements. By default, this seminar is 2 credits, but you can earn a third credit if you choose to write a meaningful additional independent study paper for 1 credit. The syllabus for the seminar is at http://picker.uchicago.edu/seminar/syllabus.htm and the class blog is at http://picker.typepad.com/picker_seminar/. The student's grade is based on class and blog participation.Winter 2016
Telecommunications and Internet LawThis is an introductory course looking at the regulatory regimes in the U.S. that apply to telephony (both wireline and wireless) and the infrastructure of the Internet. In particular, this course will explore the legal and policy history behind such regulation and the difficulty of classifying new technologies and applying the existing regulatory regimes to new technologies. This course will not cover mass media regulation (broadcast television and radio, or cable television). Grades will be based upon class participation, a few short reaction papers, and a final take-home exam.Spring 2016

So you want to install an irrigation system? There are a few things you should know in advance.
First, your water bills will likely go up. Recent studies of homes with and without automatic sprinkler systems show that homes with automatic systems use substantially more water outdoors on average (Maddaus and Mayer, 2001). Automatic irrigation systems, if not properly managed, can waste a lot of water. Always be mindful that YOU are the "brains" behind your irrigation system scheduling and YOU control the controller.
Think about your entire landscape plan when considering an irrigation system. Are you going to re-landscape or add Xeriscape beds in the near future? Make sure your sprinkler system is adaptable to your future landscape plans.
There are lots of irrigation and sprinkler system designers and installers out there. If you are going to hire someone to design and install your system, get several bids. Prices can vary a lot from company to company. Be sure you understand the differences between the bids. The low bid may not provide you with the best irrigation system for your landscape.
Drip irrigation techniques have improved in the past ten years. A well designed drip system should use less water than spray emitters. Some installers may not be familiar with the newer more advanced drip systems. Shop around to make sure you're getting the most for your money.
Include some type of automatic shutoff device with your sprinkler system. These devices will help you maximize water efficiency and improve the effectiveness of your system. They include:
Selecting an Irrigation Controller
The key to watering efficiently is to obtain a controller that can handle diverse landscape and weather situations and then to program it properly to meet your plants' water needs.
The recommended minimum hardware features for a controller when water efficiency is a priority include:
These features are important because they give you the ability to properly manage your landscape watering.
Other Important Components to Consider
Here are some other irrigation system components to consider for maximum efficiency:

Women's Basketball's Fontaine Wins MAC Weekly Award
MUNCIE, Ind. - Freshman guard Nathalie Fontaine has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week for the first time in her career.
Fontaine averaged 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in the Cardinals' victories over Western Michigan (73-50) and Eastern Michigan (56-41) last week during MAC action. At Western Michigan, Fontaine scored a career-best 20 points off 9-of-11 shooting along with pulling down seven rebounds. On Sunday after Ball State trailed Eastern Michigan at the half, Fontaine helped the Cardinals go on a 28-8 run which started at the 14:08 mark to put Ball State up 48-32 with 4:29 remaining. Fontaine led the Cardinals against the Eagles with a double-double after scoring 14 points off of 7-of-12 shooting while pulling down 10 rebounds.
Both games were on the road helping the Cardinals improve to 7-1 in MAC action which is the best conference start for Ball State since the 2006-07 season. Ball State is currently tied for first place in the MAC West with Toledo and Central Michigan.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action at home when in hosts Central Michigan Thursday at 7 p.m. in Worthen Arena.

4 Reasons We Need to Start Making Fun of Terrorists
They're Raging Hypocrites
So, OK -- they may be an incompetent bunch of man-children. But, at least from the perspective of a pious Muslim who thinks America is the enemy, they mean well, right? They're at least really sincere about wanting to get their countries back on track with good Muslim values and fight Western corruption.
Well, no. By now you've seen Osama bin Laden's compound. While it was architecturally a piece of shit, it was luxury living in Pakistan, in a neighborhood popular with retired generals and other Pakistani elite. His last known videos showed him roughing it in a cave, which is how he wanted his followers to think of him. He was asking them to live on bread and pious fervor, running from cave to cave, so he couldn't very well tell them he was living in a nice house with satellite and Internet and three wives.
Via Geoff Fox
This was custom-built for him. Terrorists must fucking hate architecture.
And a lot of porn! Bin Laden's computers were full of porn, although no one can say if he was watching it himself or not. It's not an isolated incident either. While we obviously can't get statistics for just terrorists, the average resident of Pakistan is apparently really horny, leading Google searches in "horse sex," "donkey sex," "rape sex," "child sex" and other wonderful, wholesome things. Which is both what you wouldn't expect, and after some thought, exactly what you would expect from a repressive religious state.
And they don't just fantasize about boning donkeys. Some of them went out and did it, and a lucky few got caught on U.S. surveillance video, making some soldier's day I bet.
Via Getty Images
Not as funny for the donkey, who had to spend six months recovering.
And the same group that won't let women learn or show their faces or do anything because they "value" them and want to "protect" them also likes to rape and sell them. I'm pretty sure even super-extreme Muslims who want a veil on every woman would blanch at that.
And what were the 9/11 hijackers doing before they departed on their holy mission? Why, visiting strip clubs of course! And they were shitty tippers apparently.
They're Self-Destructive
On top of all that, let's take a look at what they were trying to accomplish in the long term if they ever got their shit together. Bin Laden told his followers to stay away from small attacks and try to go for a big one, on an important date like July 4 or September 11. The reason that all their terror attacks hadn't driven the U.S. out of the Middle East, he reasoned, was because none of the attacks were big enough.
That's right. He thought if they could just blow up a whole city or something, America would go, "Oh man, too rich for my blood! I don't want to play anymore!" and bring all our troops home. Just like after Pearl Harbor! Or September 11! That's exactly what America does every time someone lands a massive, horrible attack on us!
Via Getty Images
Funny thing, there weren't any American troops in Afghanistan before, I don't know, 2001 or so.
Even watching a movie about a fictional attack -- by aliens -- on Independence Day, stirred up millions of Americans to an irrational level of adrenaline and patriotism. An actual attack could very well get even tofu-eating treehuggers to vote for a nuclear option before they thought better of it.
Via Getty Images
Sure, it would have been a terrible tragedy all around, but the point is that any people backing these guys need to know that their master plan is to keep poking beehives harder and harder until the bees ... go back in the beehive. They need to know these loonies are going to get them all killed.
And that's why we need to keep making fun of their stupid, stupid plans.

Phoenix is pretty damn lucky. We're one of three cities to host Green Day's intimate "warm up" tour on the band's way to South by Southwest. After this, it's back to the arena show format.
It hardly felt like a stretching session for the band. It was Green Day's second show since singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's stint in rehab, but the frontman was as kooky and energetic as ever. He seemed ecstatic to be back on stage after a five-month break, and Green Day played an airtight, nearly flawless two-hour set, keeping the crowd at its mercy to every "hey-oh," fist bump, and Armstrong-led arm sways, always leaving us hungry for more classic Green Day material.

Babs line earlier in the year about wanting to be the toughest team, but not being built that way and the way he applauded Bertuzzi for fighting Weber make me believe he'd be a hell of a coach if he had more compete and more physical presence. Babs isn't the problem, but Holland and Nill might be. This off-season will be the biggest since 06-07, Holland delivered that year by getting Rafalski and Drake. Lets see what he does this time around.
I agree. We need to trim the fat and get some new hungry faces that play with grit. And can our fourth line actually be an energy line, please?
For reference, my memory of the summer of '07 through '08:
- Lost: Lang, Calder, Bertuzzi, Schneider, Markov, Williams
- Added: Rafalski, Drake, McCarty (mid-season), Stuart (deadline)

TAHOE, Calif. - Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows will be featured on CBS's Emmy Award-winning "Undercover Boss" on Friday, March 8, 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The episode will feature Andy Wirth, president and CEO of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, as he goes undercover to perform jobs such as ski patrol, snowboard school instructor and terrain park employee.
"Ever since I started as CEO, I have focused on spending time on the mountain with our guests and staff engaging in the experience. That said, we are a close-knit company so it's not often that I get to observe our mountain operations without people knowing who I am," said Wirth. "I saw this as a great opportunity to work with our team, side-by-side on a very real level. I came away from the experience incredibly proud of our hard-working employees and honored to be a part of this extraordinary team."
Wirth's decision to participate in "Undercover Boss" comes as Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows continue in year two of the resorts' $70 million renaissance to improve every facet of the resort experience. Wirth was named president and CEO in 2010 and has since overseen the acquisition of Squaw Valley by KSL Capital Partners in winter 2010 and the merger of Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows in fall 2011. Wirth came to Squaw Valley with more than 25 years in the mountain resort and hospitality management industry and has worked with over twenty industry-leading resort operating companies.
Now in its fourth season, "Undercover Boss" follows a different executive each week as they leave their office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their companies. While working alongside their employees, they see the effects their decisions have on others, where the problems lie within their organizations and get an up-close look at both the good and the bad while discovering and rewarding the unsung heroes who make their companies run.

The Duchess of Cambridge is continuing to give back behind the scenes.
Praising the work of those helping seriously ill young people and their families, Princess Kate made a secret visit to The Treehouse in Suffolk – which is run by one of her patronages, East Anglia Children's Hospices.
Kate, 32, has placed the needs of sick children at the center of her public life. As well as being patron of EACH, she has made it a priority to visit hospices around the world, including stops in Malaysia, New Zealand and Australia, in hopes of promoting cooperation between the organizations.
Now, in Children's Hospice Week, which is centered on raising money and awareness for those helping kids with life-limiting illnesses, she says in a statement, "Around the clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care."
"They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home. As Patron of EACH, I have seen first-hand this remarkable and varied work and just how vital the support of staff and volunteers can be to the families of children with life-limiting conditions."
She adds, "It has been wonderful to see the fantastic public support for Children's Hospice Week over the last few days. Please continue supporting your local children's hospice in whatever way you can."
Nick Davis / The Royal Foundation
But this time it was a quiet visit, where, a royal source says, she wanted to learn more about the services that are required for families with seriously ill children. She was also shown the role that volunteers can play for children's hospices – an issue "she is exploring further" through the Royal Foundation set up in her name and that of Princes William and Harry.
Because of the sensitivity of the visit, EACH are not revealing any more details of whom she met. In a statement, chief executive Graham Butland praised her because she put "children's hospice services in the U.K. at the forefront of people's minds and allowed us to demonstrate the full and flexible range of services families can benefit from 24/7."
He adds, "The very active role the duchess plays, both publicly and in private, is considerable and much appreciated by our staff, volunteers and of course the children, young people and families using our services."

The properties are located on the northwest corner of the downtown intersection in the 46000 block of North State St. and the lot closest to the intersection is fenced in.
Patrone was hopeful of addressing the sale this week, noting that since the properties are on the main corner in town they wanted to "reclaim and beautify" the village.
He said it was an opportunity.
The intersection was also the topic of discussion regarding the traffic light which Solicitor Tad Herold said would need an engineering study after learning from the Ohio Department of Transportation District 11 that the current signal is a "warranted" light.
Council had discussed removing the light an replacing it with four-way stop signs or a new light depending on cost.
Since it is warranted, Herold said, "We have to pay close attention to removal" noting a safety study is required. He asked the ODOT representative about the cost for a new light but was advised ODOT didn't provide quotes.
"We are going to have to follow the procedure," Herold said about the study adding they needed public input on it "if we are going to go forward ... if we were to take it down without a study I would be concerned, but as long as we follow state procedures ..."
Patrone said they were looking at the cost for an engineering study and noted a new setup would require four poles and eight (LED) lights and suggested the village could probably get an estimate.
He said it would also look nicer.
"As far as safety goes, with a 35 mile per hour speed limit, we could use a four-way stop," Patrone said, adding they would have to place the signs further up from the intersection.
"I'm sure we'll have some complaints," he said, but Councilwoman Doris Ogle said, "We can't worry about complaints just safety."
After the meeting, Patrone said he felt most residents wanted four-way stop signs.
No action was taken and Herold will continue studying the issue.
In other business, Councilman Gary DeMarchis, a local businessman, attended his first meeting after being appointed to fill the seat left vacant by former Councilwoman Chris Bodnar at council's Oct. 30 meeting.
DeMarchis owns the Dairy Mill in East Palestine and said he has always been interested in local government.
"I've been a retail manager all my life," he said, "now with the free time I can serve."
Bodnar's four-year term expires Dec. 31, 2013.
Council members are paid $50 a month regardless of the number of meetings they attend and can enroll in the state pension plan. There are no health benefits.
Council also appointed Ken Biddle to the seat left vacant by the resignation of former Councilman Larry Leister who moved from the area.
His term is effective on Dec. 1 and Patrone said he was the only person who expressed written interest in the seat.
Note: The Christmas parade is set for 4 p.m. Dec. 3 and units will assemble at 3 p.m. at the Abundant Life Church.
"Santa is good to go," Patrone said.

Pam and Ben didn't have a lot of time to plan the wedding of their dreams, but they certainly put it all together in a short amount of time and WOW, it was a dream wedding!!! They were blessed with terrific weather, sunny skies and 70 degrees in late November. Ben looked stunning in his tux; he and the groomsmen came early to get ready at the Inn. What a handsome groom! Pam and her bridesmaids came later for pictures and what a BEAUTIFUL bride! Pam looked just like a Barbie doll in her stunning gown, complete with a fur stole. Their beautiful daughter Gia had an emotional moment with tears of joy as she gazed out the window at Pam and Ben. The ballroom never looked better with the help of Michele Hodges, wedding coordinator and Dragonfly Florist www.dragonflyevent.com. The floral arrangements were absolutely stunning. Ben's mom made the most delicious Italian cookies for dessert. They rocked the night away to Night Life. Stunning couple, terrific event ~ a great time was had by all!

Mack scored a career-high 24 on an impressive 82 percent clip and led the Scarlet Knights to a tough 87-80 victory over the Spartans.
A slight favorite going in, the sophomore guards Mack and Elijah Carter proved unstoppable in the second half.
"Gritty, tough New Jersey guards," said head coach Mike Rice on his post-game interview with WCTC. "Whether it was pulling up from three, whether it was getting to the lane, they carried the load tonight."
Tied at 63 with eight minutes to play in the game, Rutgers pulled away with a flurry of free throws and some tough defense. Rutgers recorded steals in back-to-back possessions and began exploiting advantages in the paint.
The Scarlet Knights and Spartans traded points going into the final minutes before Wally Judge and Myles iced the game with a monster dunk off a pick-and-roll followed by a long-range bomb.
"The last six minutes, you can tell the difference," Rice said. "Our guys were a little bit quicker to the ball, our guys were a little bit fresher. … The resolve and the toughness that this team showed, and they defended the three so much better than we have in previous games. There's a lot of positives to take from this game."
Carter added a season-best 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting in the victory.
Rutgers (4-1) returns to action Saturday at Mississippi as a part of the Big East/SEC Challenge.

A Buffalo man has been charged with causing the death of one dog and the improper care of another, police said.
Marcus Cole, 50, of Urban Street, was charged by Buffalo officers this afternoon with aggravated animal cruelty and torturing or injuring an animal, for the death of one dog and the chaining of a second unlicensed dog in his house, police said.
Cole is accused of leaving one pet dog outside in the freezing weather with no food, water or shelter, resulting in the death of the animal. He also is charged with tethering his unlicensed Rottweiler to a chain, preventing the animal from moving, according to a police report.
The charges came after complaints were lodged with police.

Emmy Nomination Preview 2012 - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama
Peter Dinklage tries to defend Emmy's toughest category
By Daniel Fienberg Monday, Jun 18, 2012 2:32 AM
Galleries You Might Also Like
troopermsuReally stacked category. It wouldn't be a disservice if they gave out two winners here. My vote would be for Giancarlo Esposito. Or Dean Norris. Or Aaron Paul.
A few guys I liked that Dan didn't mention:
Manu Bennett, Spartacus
Dayton Callie, Sons of Anarchy
Martin Donovan, Boss
John Ortiz, Luck
Craig Parker, Spartacus
John Scurti, Rescue Me
Michael Shannon, Boardwalk Empire
Donnie Wahlberg, Blue Bloods
BD Wong, AwakeJune 18, 2012 at 3:00AM ESTReply to Comment
John (guest)This category is ridiculously loaded, and I might add that the supporting actress category is almost as competitive. I agree that Aaron Paul is the best performance in the category, and he should definitely win. As much as I enjoyed Dinklage and thought he was a deserving winner last season, Paul was the best actor in the category over the course of the season AND he had the best submission episode with "End Times." One thing that I thought was a bit cognitively dissonant was that Fienberg seemed to be saying that Dinklage made the right choice by staying where he was, even though he was the de facto lead on Game of Thrones this year. But then he seems to be saying that Paul should have moved up to lead actor, even though both Dinklage and Paul had the same reasons for staying put--they want to defend their Emmy wins, and (more importantly), they want to avoid the freight train that is Bryan Cranston. Though I agree that both are essentially lead actors, I can't blame them for ducking Cranston. I just don't understand why one actor would be praised for his decision while the other is criticized. Anyway, my other nominations besides Dinklage and Paul would be Giancarlo Esposito, Neal McDonough, Alan Cumming (maybe the writers didn't do as great a job with his character as they had in previous seasons, but that was hardly Cumming's fault, as he was excellent) and Michael Pitt. And yes, it was very hard to leave off so many other great performances. This is one of the most loaded categories I've ever seen.June 18, 2012 at 3:16AM ESTReply to Comment
danJohn - Here are the two distinctions I'd make with Dinklage versus Paul staying in supporting when they're probably both leads:
1) Paul's staying in supporting impacts Esposito's ability to get a nomination in a way that probably Dinklage staying doesn't impact any of his "Game of Thrones" co-stars, realistically...
2) Hypothetically moved up to Lead, Paul still *probably* gets a nomination and *certainly* deserves a nomination. Dinklage becomes much less probable to get a nomination and he also probably doesn't deserve it...
But yeah, probably Dinklage should also have moved up, though "Game of Thrones" is a true ensemble, where a dozen people could *almost* be considered leads, while "Breaking Bad" has two leads...
-DanielJune 18, 2012 at 11:56AM EST
saulocclDinklage submitting himself as lead makes no sense - why would he do that? He won this award last year, he probably would not be nominated as Lead Actor and next year he'd have to submit himself as supporting again.
Like his character, he seems to understand the way this game is played.
Paul is right as well. If they nominated the entire adult cast of Modern Family and The Good Wife received four supporting acting nominations last year, there is no reason to think that it is either him or Giancarlo Esposito. Both of them can - and hopefully - will be nominated.June 18, 2012 at 2:35PM EST
JohnFair enough. I don't necessarily agree that Dinklage wouldn't get nominated as a lead actor, though, as that category isn't nearly as stacked as the supporting actor category is. I think Dinklage would probably still get a nomination. As for Paul impacting Esposito's chances, that's true, but I don't view that as a good reason to move up to lead actor. If he moves up, then he's directly competing with Cranston, so I don't see that much of a difference. And I could be wrong, but I bet Esposito gets nominated anyway. And though moving up would open up an additional spot that could potentially go to Esposito, it also greatly reduces the chances that Paul would win. He's every bit as good as Cranston, but I just don't see him actually beating Cranston out for the award. Even worse, they could split the vote, which could lead to neither of them winning, despite being the two best actors on television. I support his decision.
And thanks for the explanation of your reasoning.June 18, 2012 at 7:14PM EST
ideemoI think Dinklage would likely be nominated in lead this year. And next year? Not having Hugh Laurie to compete against certainly makes it a lot easier.June 18, 2012 at 11:49PM EST
Cousin Larry Appleton (guest)Such a loaded category, and I would be more than happy with the six you are predicting. However, I would be shocked if Alan Cumming isn't in the Top 6. I don't watch The Good Wife - and your reasons against him seem sound - but it just seems like such a typical lazy Emmy move to put him in the field over somebody like Goggins, or, especially, Esposito.June 18, 2012 at 4:52AM ESTReply to Comment

JoyefulYou're so right - this is a tough year to be a supporting actor. I've always felt that Robert Sean Leonard deserved something for his work on House; he's the only actor that managed to shine brightly in Hugh Laurie's presence. Also hoping Mandy Patinkin gets a nod.
Sadly, Robert Carlyle is in the "other" list - if anyone from a network drama should be nominated, it should be him. Try watching or caring about ANYONE else on the screen while he's there. The man is a forceful, charismatic, brilliant actor, and managed to make his character loathsome, hateful, pathetic and likeable all at once.June 18, 2012 at 7:48AM ESTReply to Comment
danJoyeful - Originally, I had Carlyle getting his own slide, but then I had 26 actors getting slides and I decided I had to remain consistent and keep it to 20 individuals per gallery, so he was pushed into "Other notables."
The chance that Emmy voters really like "Once Upon a Time" is remote, but it's not totally impossible. It's a new network hit and they may want to give it some recognition, in which case Carlyle becomes a bit more viable... We'll see...
-DanielJune 18, 2012 at 12:32PM EST
JoyefulOkay...makes sense. Once Upon A Time is purely escapist fairytale and doesn't carry the kind of gravitas that the Academy likes for drama.
What are the odds of ALL the nominees coming from cable shows, though? If I recall correctly, there's usually at least one token nominee from a regular network show.June 18, 2012 at 10:34PM EST
danJoyeful - It's a good question. My list here has the first NINE performances all from cable shows. I feel like Alan Cumming is just about the only legitimately plausible nominee from a network show who could break into the field here and in order for that to happen, he's gonna have to take out a cable star who I vastly prefer, so I'm sure it'll make me grumbly. The Supporting Actress, Drama field is likely to have two or three network actresses in it, so maybe voters will figure it balances out? But realistically, I don't know if they think along those lines. So... We'll see. It *should* be all cable (IMO). Dunno if it will be...
-DanielJune 18, 2012 at 10:54PM EST
saulocclI agree with your Katherine Heigl comment, Daniel. Alan Cumming certainly made the most out the few moments he had to shine, but I don't think he should be nominated again. Let's be honest: Eli did nothing the entire season.
Josh Charles is one of my top 6 choices but my favorite (male) performance on The Good Wife this year was Zach Grenier as David Lee.June 19, 2012 at 10:17AM EST
ideemoIt's so stacked that there are very few snubs that would make me mad. I think Dinklage is in the wrong category. So nobody is going to submit themselves as a lead on Game of Thrones for the rest of the series' run unless Rob Lowe somehow joins the cast? Stupid. Anyway Dan, are there any nominations that would actually infuriate you? A Dinklage snub wouldn't bother me for the reasons above. Somehow, I don't feel the same way about Paul in this category since Breaking Bad already has an actor submitting himself as the lead. If Paul is snubbed, I'll be pissed.June 18, 2012 at 8:28AM ESTReply to Comment
ideemoAlso, someone start the Rob Lowe as Mance Rayder campaign!June 18, 2012 at 8:30AM EST
TeprocDinklage is in the right category. He's the closest thing GoT has to a lead, but he's still not a lead. There truly are no leads on GoT imo.June 18, 2012 at 8:46AM EST
Chet LemonAlthough it would almost certainly spell doom for the series, it would be worth it to see Rob Lowe prancing about in Game of Thrones.June 18, 2012 at 11:10PM EST
FringeEmmyWatch (guest)A supporting actor, that is an actor who supports the lead as well as the storyline.
So why does John Noble keep pretending to be a support, when clearly he wants everything to be around him?
Even the last episodes that would and should have been about Olivia, her past, her abuse were rewritten for Noble to do his poorwalter routine in st Claires.
Noble wants to be the popular guy, so the storyline of Walter abusing and damaging Olivia and other children, never written.
A great actor is someone who is not afraid to play a not very likable character, but even Walternate was soon gone and this season , just Walter given a speech.
And for an idea of how desperate Noble is for an Emmy, watch him in 2010 after season 2 in interviews.
As support he gives himself a better chance for a nomination, and you can submit 2 epi.
I do not agree with including him even at the end, as Letters of Transit just showed two things about his acting:
-Look at me Acting
-he does not play different versions of Walter in a built up, but he plays in 1 episode alone whenever it is in the writing, an angry Walter, agitated Walter, I feel so sorry for myself Walter, Poor Walter etc etc.
That is not playing a different version, that is playing a different mood but always the same Walter.
Watch Anna Torv in the same series, she truly created an Amber version, with all her different ways of reacting, and that changed in the Blue Olivia, with her different reactions, and on top of that the AltOlivia.
That is creating new versions, (almost no backstory matarial)consistently acting within that new version.
Watch One Night in October, 2 Olivias in 1 scene.
Walter Bishop the scientist is Walter Lewin, 72 year old M.I.T. physics prof (online lectures)
The rest of Walter Bishop is the writing.
The amount of material Noble gets is insulting to the rest of the cast.
It looks like (and is confirmed by Wyman/ Pinkner) that the writers start writing for Walter and at the very end they decide to do something for the rest, Peter first, then a bit for Olivia and the others if there is time left.
Fringe could have been a far better series if they would have concentrated on the past and backstory of Olivia, and with that could connect Nina, Broyles and Astrid.

FringeEmmyWatchForgot to give the men who doe deserve to be in the Support list:
the 2 from Games of Thrones, 2 from Breaking Bad, Mandy Patinkin from Homeland,and Kinneman from the Killing.June 18, 2012 at 10:07AM EST
FringeEmmyWatchTo explain my list: both Patinkin and Kinneman create a chaacter but also supprt their leading lady Danes and Enos.
Do the scene you refer to with Patinkin is Claire Danes getting the writing a leading actress should get, and Patinkin as the support making sure that the entire scene comes together.
So when did you see John Noble doing that for Anna Torv?June 18, 2012 at 10:14AM EST
Mojococo (guest)So would the cast of Sherlock be ineligible because it was carried by Masterpiece Mystery over here? If so, that's a shame.June 18, 2012 at 1:27PM ESTReply to Comment
danMojoCoco - "Sherlock" is, for purposes of Emmy voting, considered a movie/miniseries.
-DanielJune 18, 2012 at 1:43PM EST
IanTo be more specific, in order for the show to remain in the miniseries/movie category, the second season premiere is being submitted exclusively as an individual TV Movie. Most obviously for the (deserved) benefit of Lara Pulver.June 18, 2012 at 4:28PM EST
Paul C (guest)My goodness, this is a bonkers category. You could throw darts and end up with any 6 names and they would all probably be worthy.
I have nothing against Nick Nolte's performance but knowing the Emmys, he'll probably get a nomination for being a movie star despite it being a TV awards event. Which is disappointing given as I personally wouldn't have had him as one of the Top 6.
My picks would be Paul, Esposito, Dinklage, Pitt, McDonough (*just* over Goggins) and Harris (*just* over Slattery).
Paul should be a lock to win though.June 18, 2012 at 3:07PM ESTReply to Comment
Paul C (guest)Also, how much tactical planning goes on behind the scenes? Could AMC have said for Paul to submit as Supporting so that he & Cranston wouldn't spilt voters in the Lead? Or say HBO wanting Dinklage to stick with Supporting as he would have had more momentum and greater chance of winning there?June 18, 2012 at 3:10PM ESTReply to Comment
CaptainCanadaThere's generally some network strategy, but it's not required to explain either of those decisions: it's exceptionally rare for people to jump from one category to another, particularly if they've got a reasonable expectation of winning the existing category (which both Paul and Dinklage do) but much more dubious odds in lead.June 22, 2012 at 11:29AM EST
bb4ever (guest)worth noting that this is the only chance for Emmy voters to recognize Esposito -- whereas Paul can win for 2 more seasons. And Esposito created one of the most iconic tv characters of all time...and left many rooting for the bad guy.June 18, 2012 at 5:56PM ESTReply to Comment
leematsI didn't watch "Men of a Certain Age" but just looked up the season 2 airdates. It seems that they aired episode 2.6 on 1/10/11, then aired eps 7-12 beginning on 6/1/11. Did they do this just so they could be elligible in two different Emmys seasons? For that matter, could Breaking Bad have split up Season 3 into two parts so they would have qualified for the 2011 Emmys?June 18, 2012 at 6:29PM ESTReply to Comment
Kaitlin (guest)I almost wish that Aaron Paul would submit as a lead actor. But then we'd lose the opportunity for another Walt and Jesse sweep like 2010 (but his leaving the category would allow for Giancarlo Esposito to have a great shot - providing he beats Dinklage.)June 22, 2012 at 8:34AM ESTReply to Comment

shadallion (guest)I am irritated by the lack of respect of AMC's "The Walking Dead" overall, but specifically for ignoring John Bernthal (Shane) in this category. He was mesmerizing, polarizing, and downright terrific in that series.

1. Peter Dinklage
2. Giancarlo Esposito
3. John Bernthal
4. John SlatterlyJune 27, 2012 at 12:48PM ESTReply to Comment
Connor (guest)If I had my way, Giancarlo Esposito would be the winner. I think he gave a better performance last season than Aaron Paul, plus Aaron Paul can always win for next season, while Esposito can't.July 4, 2012 at 10:17PM ESTReply to Comment
RicardoI know you don't like "The Good Wife" too much, but I seriously doubt both actors will be squeezed out. I truly think Josh Charles gives one of the 6 best supporting male performances on TV. I hope he stays.July 17, 2012 at 10:34PM ESTReply to Comment

Bayfield High School put two wrestlers on the state podium Saturday night.
And after a year of change � new head coach, new assistants, new wrestlers � that�s pretty dang good, too.
�Two guys on the podium,� said first-year head coach Todd McMenimen, who stepped in to fill Herb Stinson�s shoes. �I�m pleased with that.�
Stinson, a member of the National High School Wrestling Hall of Fame, retired after 12 highly productive years at BHS. McMenimen � �old as dirt,� as he put it � has been involved with BHS wrestling for 15 years.
McMenimen, very Stinson-like, took seven wrestlers to the CHSAA Class 3A State Wrestling Championships this weekend at the Pepsi Center in Denver, and he watched two take the podium, including his son.
Colter McMenimen wrestled for third place at 126 pounds after he beat Ben Weakland of Valley in a 12-5 decision Day 3 of state.
McMenimen (33-7) beat Dakota Macy of Fort Lupton 8-3 for the bronze medal.
�He just wrestled lights out (Saturday),� Colter�s coach and dad said. �He looked really good.
�He had a reversal at the end, then tilted (Macy) for the tie. He went to work on him the rest of the match.�
Bayfield heavyweight Matt Eckstein also locked up a podium spot Saturday morning, then lost his fifth-place match to finish sixth.
Eckstein pinned Oscar Soto of Brush in 2 minutes, 5 seconds in the quarterfinals to secure a state medal, but Hayden Bickel of La Junta returned the favor in the consolation semifinals, pinning the Wolverines� heavyweight in 3:24.
Eckstein (29-10) lost by pin in 4:59 to Raymond Riggins of Trinidad.
�He was there with a chance to win it right there at the end,� coach McMenimen said.
And that, the head coach said, directly can be attributed to his coaching staff, in particular BHS and Colorado School of Mines alumnus Jordan Larsen. The former BHS state champion was the Wolverines� drill master at practice all season long.
�It seems like forever; I�ve been here a long time,� said McMenimen, who was an assistant coach at BHS while Larsen was accumulating podium finishes for the Wolverines.
�It�s a little different now � new head coach, all new assistants. None of this would�ve happened without coach Larsen there. Conditioning-wise, I�d match us up with anybody in the state.�
McMenimen also attributed the Wolverines� pair of podiums to the behind-the-scenes wrestlers � the drill partners.
In this case, 132-pound state qualifier Allec Rodriguez and 220-pound state qualifier Matt Cerdas.
Rodriguez kept McMenimen sharp, while Cerdas and assistant coaches Neil Barnes and Dennis DeKay did their best against the 285-pound Eckstein.

More announcements next week?Beyond the announcement of the "Canon Experience Stores", I am being told a DSLR and lens is coming next week as well. It's "probably" going to be the EOS 70D and not the EOS 7D Mark II, it wasn't mentioned which lens was coming.
I think the 70D is going to be an incremental update to the 60D when it is announced. Whereas the 7D Mark II will likely see more of an upgrade in feature set.
No confirmation from known sources on these announcements, beyond the Canon Store being unveiled.
ot the week will pass with no announcement at all.. as usual.
Slow week at CR? Yet another CR1's to pass the time?

Niagara continued to hold on to its first-place lead in Atlantic Hockey with a 2-1 win over Bentley at Dwyer Arena Friday night.
The Purple Eagles took a 1-0 lead when Jeff Hannan scored at 9:56 of the second period. They extended the lead to 2-0 at 7:19 of the third when Chris Lochner scored.
Bentley scored just 1:35 later, but Niagara goalie Carsen Chubak closed the door, making 20 saves.
Branden Komm (Williamsville North) made 37 saves for the Falcons (11-12-1, 9-8-1).
With the win, Niagara (16-4-5, 15-1-2) extended its home unbeaten streak to 16 games. The teams meet again at 7:05 tonight.
Meanwhile Canisius kicks off its weekend series with Holy Cross this afternoon at 3:05 p.m. at the Buffalo Ice Arena. The teams will meet again at 2:05 p.m. on Sunday.
The Golden Griffins (9-12-5, 8-7-2) are coming off a split with Mercyhurst.
Junior Kyle Gibbons is pacing the Griffs' offense. He has 11 goals and eight assists in the last 17 games after being held pointless in the first eight games of the season.
Holy Cross (9-6-2 AH) enters the game receiving votes in the USCHO.com national poll. Senior goalie Thomas Tysowsky of Amherst is on the Crusaders' roster.
Marist beats Canisius
Canisius suffered from another poor shooting performance and, although it made a run in the second half, dropped a 54-40 decision to Marist in Poughkeepsie Friday night.
The Golden Griffins shot just 26.3 percent from the field, connecting on 15 of their 57 shots. Meanwhile, they committed 17 turnovers.
Marist built a 26-13 lead, but the Griffs created some opportunities in the second half. A layup from Ashley Durham with two minutes left in the game pulled Canisius within seven, 45-38. The Griffs, however, would be held without a field goal for the rest of the game.
Ashley Wilkes finished with 10 points and six rebounds for Canisius (8-12, 5-4 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference).
Marist (14-6) remained undefeated in the MAAC (9-0).

You asked. We deliver. Meet the developers behind Channel 9 (and 8, 10, Edge and MicrosoftPDC.com). Mike Sampson, Erik Porter, Duncan Mackenzie and Nathan Heskew are the super talented devs who built C9 V4. Unlike the older versions of Channel 9, V4 is a completely new codebase. Gone are the days of stitching together half-baked technologies (though, they did scale and Bryn and I deserve some credit for that! ).
EvNet, which is the codebase that powers all of our channels, was written from the ground up. How is the codebase designed? What's the architecure? What did each developer work on? What were some of the challenges? Who are these dev geniuses, anyway? This is part one of the great conversation with the folks who build and innovate Channel 9. Tune in.

Hoard's Dairyman: Research hones in on making more pregnancies
From article
"Research hones in on making more pregnancies",
January 25, 2011 Issue, page 57
Abstract 161: Alternative protocols to presynchronize estrous cycles in dairy cattle before a timed AI program. Since Ovsynch was introduced, researchers have continued to explore various protocols which might improve the number of pregnancies resulting from timed AI. Kansas State researchers compared the effectiveness of five different presynchronization protocols (Figure 1) prior to Cosynch-72 to Cosynch-72 without presynchronization. The first three presynchronization treatments consisted of two prostaglandin injections administered 14 days apart with the second injection 14, 12 or 10 days prior to the initiation of Cosynch-72 (Figure 1). Two additional treatments consisted of progesterone inserts (CIDR) for 7 days with prostaglandins given at CIDR removal either 10 or 3 days prior to beginning the Cosynch-72 protocol. The only difference identified was the number of pregnancies per AI at 60 days after insemination was reduced in the CIDR3 group compared to all other treatments.

Need proof?
Take a look at his son, Scott Eastwood, who smolders in the October issue of Town & Country magazine – and conjures up images of his handsome father in his Dirty Harry days.
The 27-year-old Monterey, Calif., native, whose mother is Jacelyn Reeves, also shares something else with his famous father: a passion for acting. In September, he began filming Fury, a World War II movie with Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, and next appears in the film The Perfect Wave, playing a surfer seeking the ultimate swell.
He's also appeared alongside his recently separated father in Flags of Our Fathers, Gran Torino and Trouble with the Curve, but the younger Eastwood insists he's paid his dues like everyone else.
"People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn't be further from the truth," he said, ticking off odd jobs he's held including bar tending, working construction and valeting cars. "I was on my own just doing the grind."
But it's clear he learned a thing or two about his craft from his Oscar-winning dad.
"As a director and an actor, my dad's motto is 'Tell the truth.' The only way of doing that is having life experiences and being a storyteller," he told the magazine.
Another thing he seems to have inherited from his father? Straight-talking ambition.
"I want to be a man's man – not a kid actor or a glitzy pop star but a no bull–– leading man," he declared.
With those rugged good looks, we predict anything's possible.

PEX is the biggest revolution in plumbing since the flush toilet, and in this article we'll answer the most common questions homeowners have about it and also give you some tips for working with it.
PEX is available in long rolls or in short lengths for small projects.
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) has several advantages over copper:
PEX and CPVC cost about the same. But there are a few reasons why PEX may be a better choice. First, PEX doesn't require glue, which means you don't have to work in well-ventilated spaces or wear a respirator. PEX is less likely than CPVC to burst if it freezes. Also, since PEX is more flexible and is available in long lengths, it can work better for "fishing" through walls in remodeling situations.
There are several ways to connect PEX; cinch clamps and copper crimp rings are the most practical for DIYers.
Cinch clamp tools are simple to use and work for all sizes of pipe.
The easiest way to cut PEX is with a special PEX cutter.
No. You can use stab-in or compression fittings to make the connections. But they're too expensive to be practical on large projects. For most jobs, you'll want to invest in a special tool to make connections. There are several PEX connection methods, but only two that are affordable enough to be practical for DIYers: crimp rings and cinch clamps, as shown above.
Crimp rings are a band of metal, usually copper, that you slip over the fitting and compress with a crimp ring tool. The main drawback to the crimp ring method is that you'll need either separate crimping tools for 1/2-in. and 3/4-in. fittings, or a universal tool with a swappable insert (not shown). This adds a little up-front cost to this method. A combo kit with interchangeable crimp jaws starts at about $100.
Cinch clamps work more like the traditional band clamps you're probably familiar with. You slip the cinch clamp tool (shown) over the protruding tab and squeeze to tighten the cinch clamp. The same tool works for all sizes of cinch clamps. Cinch clamp tools start at about $40. We like the one-handed version shown in the photo because you can hold the ring in place with one hand while tightening it with the other.
The only other special tool you need is a scissors-like cutter for the tubing.
Stab-in tees are a fast way to connect PEX to copper.
PEX adapters require soldering, but may be a better choice for buried connections.
There are several methods. The easiest is to cut out a section of pipe and slip in a stab-in tee (first photo). SharkBite is one common brand of stab-in fitting. This method doesn't require soldering, which can be a big time-saver. But check with your plumbing inspector if you're planning to bury this connection in a wall or ceiling. Some areas don't allow stab-in fittings to be concealed. Another method is to solder in a tee and a PEX adapter. Then slip the PEX tubing over the adapter and attach it with your chosen connection method (second photo). You can also use a stab-in tee to connect PEX to CPVC. Read the label to find the compatible fitting.
Manifolds look intimidating, but they actually simplify plumbing runs and reduce possible leaks by eliminating the need for tees and other fittings between the main supply line and the fixture.
No. You can install PEX just like you would other pipe, with main lines and branches to each fixture. But you lose a lot of the benefits of PEX with this system since it requires so many fittings. With the home-run system, you install a manifold in the utility room or some area that's close to the main water line and water heater, and run a separate PEX tube to each fixture as shown above. This system uses more tubing but is fast and only requires two connections: one at the manifold and another at the fixture end. You can also use a hybrid system where you run 3/4-in. hot and cold lines to a set of fixtures—for example, a bathroom—and install a smaller manifold behind an access panel. Then make short runs of 1/2-in. PEX tubing to each fixture.
There is no unified national plumbing code. Before starting your plumbing job, check with your local inspector for specific local requirements.
PEX comes in red and blue colors to help you keep track of the hot and cold lines. You can use white PEX for everything if you prefer.
PEX has been used for decades in other countries, where there are thousands of homes with 30-year-old, leak-free PEX. Most of the problems with PEX systems (in the United States and elsewhere) have been caused by sloppy installation or faulty fittings rather than the tubing itself.
PEX can't be directly connected to a water heater. First extend a pipe 18 in. from your water heater and connect the PEX to the pipe.
For water lines, there are three grades: PEX-A, PEX-B and PEX-C. They're manufactured differently, PEX-A being slightly more flexible. If you're ordering online, go ahead and spend a few cents extra for PEX-A. But don't go running around town looking for it; the difference isn't that big. The plumbers we talked to would be willing to use any of the three types in their own homes. A good online source for PEX tubing, fittings, tools and information is pexsupply.com. PEX is also popular for in-floor radiant heating systems, for which you need PEX tubing with an oxygen barrier.
Copper stub-outs work well for exposed supply-line connections.
PEX can be connected directly to shutoffs under a sink, but should be held in place with a drop-ear bend support.
There are several methods. If the connection will be visible, like under a wall-hung sink, and you would prefer the look of a copper tube coming out of the wall, use a copper stub-out (first photo). You can connect a compression-type shutoff valve to the 1/2-in. copper stub-out and then connect your fixture. In areas that are concealed, like under a kitchen sink or vanity cabinet, you can eliminate a joint by running PEX directly to the shutoff valve. Use a drop-ear bend support to hold the tubing in a tight bend (second photo). There are several types of shutoff valves that connect directly to PEX.
If you're using a manifold system with valves, you may not need to install a shutoff valve at the fixture. Ask your plumbing inspector. We recommend adding one, though. It doesn't raise the cost much and is more convenient than running downstairs to shut off the water when a repair is needed.
PEX moves with changes in temperature, so leave it a little loose. For long runs you can add a loop to absorb movement.
PEX expands and contracts more than copper, so don't stretch it tight. Let it droop a little between fasteners. On long runs, it's a good idea to install a loop as shown to allow for contraction. Another advantage of the loop is that if you mess up and need a little extra tubing, you can steal it from the loop. Also, since PEX moves as it expands and contracts, make sure to drill oversize holes through studs or joists so it can slide easily, and don't use metal straps to attach it. Use plastic straps instead.
Probably not. Manufacturers are reluctant to say so, but reports from the field suggest PEX can withstand freezing. You should still protect the tubing from freezing, but since it can expand and contract, it's less likely to break than rigid piping.
Rotary tools make quick work of a bad clamp. Remove the cut clamp, then recut the tubing.
Sure—there's a special tool for cutting off crimp rings, and you can use side cutters to remove cinch clamps. But a rotary tool (Dremel is one brand) fitted with a cutoff blade works great for cutting either type of connector (see photo). After you remove the crimp ring or cinch clamp and pull the PEX from the fitting, cut off the end of the tubing to get a fresh section for the new connection. If you damage the fitting with the rotary tool, replace the fitting rather than risk a leak.

Light funky theme with a latin flavor and catchy rhythm. Here combines instruments are specific to Latin music, and for the funk and soul: guitar mute riffs and rhythm with a wah effect and incendiary passages of flugelhorn to the congas groove.
Check out my other motivational tracks:
BIG FISH – positive and groove composition, suitable for corporate, commercial and videohive projects.
SUCCESFUL CORPORATE – positive track with easy and transparent rhythm, charged with energy and drive would be a good design for corporate events, promotion and advertising.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Bullying has taken on a new form, including in the local school district, according to one board of education member.
Board member Richard Wolf reported at Monday night's meeting he had been made aware of "allergy bullying" occurring, not on a great scale but on a blossoming one.
In this type of bullying, students are forced by other students to eat items they are allergic to.
Wolf said his grandson has a severe milk allergy, and when other students learned about it, milk was poured on his food. His grandson's allergy is so severe he can't come into contact with milk in any way.
"This can be life-threatening. We need to make kids aware," Wolf urged.
Vice President Bob Estell agreed, saying, "To put them in the presence of something harmful is no less than assault, and we need to treat it as such."
According to online reports, statistics vary regarding how many students have suffered allergy bullying, with some saying as low as 12.5 percent and others as high as 55 percent.
Bullying can take the form of verbal taunts, such as "You can't eat (fill in the food)," or threats, "I smeared peanut butter on the fountain," or actual physical action, such as smearing an allergen on a child's forehead or, as in Wolf's grandson's case, their food.
Reportedly, the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FANN) offers a program, "Be a PAL," that helps educate young people on the dangers of food allergies and appropriate or inappropriate behavior.
In other matters, Treasurer Todd Puster reported field work on the state audit is completed and he expects it to be released for public view soon, having been advised it contains no major issues.
- Estell complained about people parking along both sides of the fire lane at Westgate, saying stopping the practice would be as simple as stationing an employee with a cell phone to call a tow truck.
- Superintendent James Herring reported the district met all areas of value added on the annual yearly progress (AYP) and that Westgate and North both met AYP this year.
Saying he doesn't know how this will affect this year's report card, Herring said, nonetheless, "We're going the right way. We might not be there yet, but we're going to get there."
- Settlement agreements were reached and approved in two employee grievances, including one by former guidance counselor Erica Burkey, who resigned but continued her insurance payments. The district stopped her insurance.
Herring said as part of the settlement, Burkey's medical bills for July and August were paid and language was clarified in the contract for future reference.
A grievance filed concerning posting virtual learning academy positions was also settled, with contract language clarified in regard to training instructors.

The Erie County Comptroller's Office will save $476,058 in this year's budget, a majority of that coming from not filling several vacant positions right away, according to Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw.
That's a voluntary cut of almost 14 percent in the comptroller's $3.47 million budget, he said.
"Times are tough," said Mychajliw, a Republican seeing re-election. "The economy is not rebounding. Families we serve are stretching their dollars at home. Erie County government should do the same."

A jury is being picked to decide the fate of an accused killer in Reading.
Donald Williams set his ex-girlfriend on fire in June 2009, authorities said. The woman -- 49-year-old Maria Serrano -- died a few days after the attack.
Serrano, police said, was doused in flammable liquid and burned in her home in the 800 block of Lincoln Street in Reading.
