Coming off the biggest win in school history, and going on the road to face a struggling Gardner-Webb team, Charleston Southern head football coach Jamey Chadwell has spent the last week making sure his team is not paying attention to polls and listening to talk of conference championships.
Win or lose today, the Buccaneers will be playing for the Big South title next Saturday when they host Liberty. Chadwell is making sure the talk of next week's game does not interfere with the business at hand.
"We haven't mentioned it all," said Chadwell of the potential championship. "I don't wanna talk about that. I talk about this team going out and playing the best they can, and whatever happens after you play the game happens. I want us to focus on us and on this game, not what that game can mean for us. After the game, then I feel like it is the appropriate time to discuss conference championships and that sort of thing."
While Charleston Southern (10-1, 3-0) would appear to be favored over a Gardner-Webb team that has lost three straight Big South games to fall to 5-5 overall, Chadwell is more focused on the Bulldog team that opened the season 4-1, including wins over nationally ranked Richmond and Wofford.
"We know they are a good football team," said Chadwell. "Our guys can see on film they have beaten some good teams. "Maybe we are a little more confident right now than they are, but they will be ready to play on Saturday."
Turnovers have been an issue for the Bulldogs, who rank dead last nationally with 29 turnovers this season.
"Their personnel is good, a good running back and quarterback, good offensive line, but they have turned it over 10 times in three conference games and it's hard to win like that," said Chadwell.
However, the Bulldogs do play good defense, ranking seventh nationally in total defense. Defensive ends Shaquille Riddick and Preston Pemasa have combined for 10 sacks and 25 tackles for loss.
"Their defense is as good as we've seen," said Chadwell. "Their interior guys are really good and they are going to give us trouble. It will be a challenge for our offense against their defense."
Charleston Southern's offense ranks eighth nationally in rushing, averaging 256.5 yards per game. The Buccaneers are first in the country in time of possession.
Chadwell says his team has not played particularly sharp in recent road games, despite winning two of those games.
"Anytime you go on the road, I don't care what your record is, it's tough to win on the road," he said. "As a team, we really have not played particularly well on the road recently. We were OK at VMI, got beat by Colorado, and played OK at PC. We have not played to the same level that we have lately at home. We have one last opportunity to try to play our best game on the road."

I live in the area, so I decided to a buy a ticket and go see the game. It's the first time I've been to the Honda Center, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It's a nice, shiny venue, but it lacks the character and history of the Joe. The Ducks only have a few banners up, and 3/5 of them are all about Detroit's decision to let them borrow our Cup last year.
The crowd seems programmed to cheer at anything a player named Pronger or Niedermayer does, particulary when they decide to pick on the little guys. Meanwhile, anytime someone so much as touches a hair on any Duck head, they're screaming bloody murder. I guess that part isn't too different from your average hockey crowd, but they do seem easily offended there. Any time the penalty is against your team, the refs aren't wearing their glasses, but if it's against the other guys, boy, they really had it coming.
It was good to see so many red jerseys in the crowd, too. I don't recall seeing as many supporters for a visiting team at any of the other arenas I've visited.
I also discovered that we're fortunate to have a team with a two syllable name. When there's some guy in the crowd banging on a cow bell, trying to encourage the "Lets go <team name>" chant, it doesn't work too well if your team's name has one syllable. "Let's go Duuuh-uuuhcks" is completely lacking in charm.

Microsoft admits scratch problem with Xbox 360
,----[ Quote ]
| There hasn't been much discussion on the fact that the problem exists
| by consumers, but untill now Microsoft has always somewhat denied the
| problem and never proposed a solution.
| The Dutch television show Kassa, which deals with customer complaints,
| has been nagging Microsoft about this problem for several weeks, they
| did tests with Xbox360 setups and filmed (and proofed) that the Xbox360
| is indeed responsible for scratching game discs, when not moved, placed
| on a stable table and under the best possible conditions.
| [...]
| The television show also reported that while this issue is now an issue
| in the Netherlands (it is also widely covered in regular news), it
| could become a global problem for Microsoft in the future. Therefore
| I would recommend anyone who is facing the same problem to contact
| their local Microsoft office and point them to this article.

| for help and support? Microsoft wasn't very helpful (ref #102-379-2964)
| any of the times I've called them (I think it's up to three now for the
| same issue - perhaps I'll call again today and check on an update).
| All I know is that if I see that dreaded error message again on my new

Loot: Redmond, We Have a Problem, Or, What's Wrong With the Xbox 360
,----[ Quote ]
| At this point, Former becomes impassioned. That's not fair, he says;
| we always saw this as a long-term venture. To which we reply that we
| were talking about the original Xbox, and while other divisions of
| the company throw off more profits in a single quarter than the
| entire $5 billion or so lost in the home and entertainment division
| to date, the fact remains that, as we take-our-word-for-it predicted,
| the Xbox group has been spectacularly unprofitable for Microsoft.
| Hence, our heretofore unpublished Vietnam analogy. The rest of the
| night is a blur, but we digress.
| [...]
| The worst case scenario for Microsoft, then, is one in which the Xbox
| 360's bid for the mass market is blocked by the Wii for the next two to
| three years, at which point the aging and underpowered Wii gives way
| to a cheaper-than-it-is-now PS3 with a selection of AAA titles that's
| far wider than what the PS3 has at the moment; new installments of
| Playstation's own popular and casual-leaning games; and a slew of
| new franchises from Sony's much-larger studio operation.

New Year kicks off in style in Vienna
After the celebrations of the night before have rung out the old year in style, Vienna begins the new year with one of the most famous and prestigious classical concerts in the world.
Vienna"s New Year"s Day Concert at the Musikverein"s jaw-droppingly beautiful Golden Hall features some of the best-loved music from the Strauss family of composers.
As might be expected of an event with such a huge amount of prestige, tickets are like gold dust and the application process sees them allocated by ballot.
To give music fans a chance to experience the majesty of the surroundings, additional concerts are also held on the two nights before the main event.
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will be in residence for the performances, which should feature some of the most famous and admired work from the history of classical music in Austria.
The event is to be televised in over 50 countries and it is seen as the mission of the concerts to fulfil an ambassadorial role in promoting Austrian music and culture the world over.

A B A&B AvB A+B ~A A<->B 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1Some (but quite possibly by no means all) of you will know that the usual interpretation of the "logical implication" (->) connective is:
A B A->B 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 * 1 1 1Given an audience without backgrounds in science, mathematics or computing, how would you explain this truth table? Entry three, marked with an asterisk, is easy enough. Entry four isn't so bad. How would you explain entries one and two? One option is to use the tautology (A&(A->B))->B. The reasoning goes like this:
sky not overcast sun is visible is possible (day) sky not overcast sun not visible is possible (night/eclipse) sky is overcast sun is visible not possible sky is overcast sun not visible is possible (overcast)-- JamesKeogh So you are interpreting the assignment of truth value 1 to the proposition "A->B" as meaning "possible". Interesting. I think the term in common usage that you're looking for is "valid". If A is false, then A:-B and A:-~B (read :- as "therefore") are both valid. In this sense, the table describes the form of argument known as ModusPonens?, with somewhat confusing column headings. It's probably better to do away with the table completely and just explain modus ponens (or "the deductive argument" if people are turned off by fancy-dancy latin). WikiPedia has a pretty good entry on ModusPonens?. ... Actually, now that I look at a little more, it's not really describing ModusPonens?, it's saying that "if you have A and B, can you assert A->B"? In other words, it's describing inductive reasoning. As far as a logical deductive argument goes, you can never assert A->B given only A and B, but given enough evidence that the assertion probably exists, one can reasonably make the inductive argument. It just doesn't hold up in a mathematical sense, but science is ultimately based on the assumptions that come from inductive arguments made from thorough observation, so it all works in real life. The physical situations described in the expressions are possible or not possible, the expression itself is valid or not valid. I would guess that the former would be more familiar to a lay audience but both should be understandable. -- JamesKeogh You said "you can never assert A->B given only A and B", but a special case of this would be "you can never assert A->A given only A", which is wrong.
A : crashed B : reboot C : A-> B : script is working A -> B : C crashed -> reboot : script is working crashed -> not reboot : script is not working not crashed -> reboot : script is working not crashed -> not reboot : script is working1 and 2 is ok. It indicates whether the script is working. 3 and 4 is basically saying that we don't know whether the script is working. Thus we assign true to both outcome. -- TyasKokasih?
'the sky is overcast' -> 'the sun is hidden'I'm not sure I agree that the values aren't forced, I will have to think about that some more. Either way, I think the English example is a good enough metaphor to get the idea across to non-technical people, which was what was asked for. Still wrong - you need something like
'A clear sky hides the sun' -> 'the cow jumped over the moon'

This prediction comes on the heels of a significant decrease in 2007 in which analysts expect sales of around 16 million vehicles down 2.6 percent from 2006's 16.5 million

With modules of harvested cotton lining the fields throughout Bulloch and surrounding counties, it would appear that this year's cotton crop is a big one when in reality, it is much smaller than previous years. Local cotton gin owners said that a combination of weather and higher prices being paid for other crops has lead to a significant decrease in local cotton production.

Fewer than 5 percent of Dallas-area home loans are underwater
Recent increases in home values in North Texas have sharply reduced the number of homeowners who are upside down in their mortgages.
Just 4.7 percent of Dallas-area homes with a loan are underwater, according to a new report by CoreLogic Inc.
Only Houston – at 3.8 percent – had a lower negative equity rate among the major cities CoreLogic surveyed.
At the worst of the recession, in 2010, almost 30 percent of Dallas-area homeowners with a mortgage were upside down in their loan.
Among the cities CoreLogic surveyed, the highest negative equity rates are in Orlando, 31.5 percent, and Tampa, 30.4 percent.

There's an update on that link: Minnesota backed down.
Banning Halloween is so 90s.
our elementary school does not do Halloween dress up for kids.
Check out my blog on nature and nurture!
My school district also does not allow the students to dress up. The science teacher gets to dress up like a mad scientist, though. So unfair.
It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still
-The Eagles
Our son's school allows dress up every day of the year. First, the kids of all ages have open access to the school's costumes as well as having open access to the place where they learn to make costumes and clothing, as well as all of the play silks where they can simply create infinite creative costumes (this is for DS's age group).
If a child wants to wear a costume every day, s/he can. It's considered expressive and important to who they are. Sometimes, though, costumes might inhibit play -- particularly since the school sends children outside rain or shine for at least 2 hrs a day (in different ways, too, such as recess, of course, but then they also have outdoor learning time with gardening and similar), so they have rain gear and a change of clothes with them every day. So, it could mean that the costume gets very wet/dirty. But, hey, it's allowed.
Crazy hippy schools.
The Christian schools in my area haven't allowed any sort of Halloween celebration for as long as I can remember. Other schools have moved away from it as well, but I think it was the nightmare of policing appropriate vs inappropriate costumes that did it in.

Not only are cranberries native to the Americas, but they are also a major crop right here in New Jersey. This means that it is pretty much your patriotic duty to honor the tradition of the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims and the Native Americans by making some homemade cranberry sauce.
Should you find yourself feeling extra bountiful this holiday season, please consider sharing your good fortune with your neighbors. Many Hudson County charities are open on Thanksgiving to feed those less fortunate, including the Hoboken Shelter, which collects donations of canned and fresh food year round.
Cranberry & Pear Sauce
1/3 cup finely diced walnuts, toasted (optional)
4 cups (1 quart) fresh cranberries, rinsed
2 pears, peeled, seeded and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup orange liqueur or orange juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1. Place cranberries, pears, orange zest, water, orange liqueur or juice, sugar and salt in a medium sauce pan.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and cook for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Cranberries pop and splatter when cooking, so take care when uncovering the pot.
3. When the cranberries have all popped open, remove the cover and lower the heat. Continue to cook the sauce at a bare simmer until it has thickened, about another ten minutes.
4. Stir in the walnuts before serving.
This recipe will yield six servings. Happy Thanksgiving!
The Hoboken Shelter is located at the corner of Third and Bloomfield Streets,

There is a noticeably large number of women in design in Scandinavia. From Nanna Ditzel to Front Design, female designers have always played an important role in Nordic countries. Does this have something to do with design style? Or is it quite simply a question of equality?
Be it park benches, conference tables or outdoor chairs – there's always an additional use to Thomas Bernstrand's designs, even though they stand in the tradition of classic Scandinavian design.
Creativity, quality and economic viability can all be associated with the term design. The Scandinavian governments have taken advantage of this and are investing in promoting both the discipline and their own image.
Scandinavian design is known for its clear forms, durability and careful craftsmanship. Do students from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland still design in accordance with these principles today? Juliane Grützner asked some of them.
Sometimes they use original plan, other times they rely on an aged furniture item – Erling and Egon Petersen, two brothers from Ormslev, Denmark go to endless lengths in their quest to breathe new life into an original design from the previous century.

June 23, 2007, 01:37 AM
Yeah, the round remains quite popular in Europe, especially in the places where it was .mil issue back in the day.
CZ 550 is probably a good make and model to check out, but there are a bunch of other options. May have to special order them if your local stores don't stock them, but they are out there.
June 23, 2007, 03:13 AM
AFAIK, the Ruger 77 MkII also.

Winchester, Remington in their "Classic" series, Ruger, CZ, Sako, Cooper, and I believe Inter-Arms once had some of their Mark Xs chamber for it. There may be others I`m not aware of. You might want to look at the 260 Rem also. It is a dead ringer for the 6.5x55 as far as ballistics and is also available in a few different rifles.
June 24, 2007, 07:57 AM
Steyr also makes at 6.5x55. CDNN has them at great prices about 6 or 8 months ago.

Researchers develop health-screening nanodevice
March 28, 2008 Arizona State University researcher Wayne Frasch has designed a method of DNA detection that is faster and more portable than any other current model. The result is a biosensing nanodevice that could transform security screening and health testing.
The work is based on the enzyme F1–adenosine triphosphatase (F1– ATPase). It was through a detailed study of the rotational mechanism of the F1–ATPase, which operates like a three–cylinder Mazda rotary motor, that Frasch conceived of a way to take this tiny biological powerhouse and couple it with science applications outside of the human body by "arming" it with an optical probe (gold nanorod) that can then be configured to emit a microscopic red signal when it detects a single molecule of target DNA
The DNA detector can be used to identify anthrax, cancer and Staphylococcus aureus – providing a significant tool in areas such as health screening. A prototype of the tissue-box sized device is currently being developed, and the method is being extended to detect protein at the single molecule level – an ability that will further distinguish it from competitors. Unlike DNA, proteins cannot be amplified artificially for detection purposes.
"Studies with the F1-ATPase in my laboratory show that since it can detect single DNA molecules, it far exceeds the detection limits of conventional PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology," said Frasch.
An article by Frasch and his colleagues – "Single-molecule detection of DNA via sequence–specific links between F1–ATPase motors and gold nanorod sensors" - was published in the journal Lab on a Chip, and appeared in the journal Chemical Biology. He is establishing a local company to produce the instrument.
"Rapid and sensitive biosensing of nucleic acids and proteins is vital for the identification of pathogenic agents of biomedical and bioterrorist importance," said Frasch. "It also provides a new avenue through which to analyze genotypes and forensic evidence."

SMC Communications
Stacey Harpster's class was huddled around a Subaru Impreza parked outside of Annenberg Hall one afternoon this semester, learning as much as they could about the car and its brand. The students took turns behind the wheel, dove under the hood and soaked in all the information they could from Subaru Product Launch Specialist William Stokes. What they learned that day would be the groundwork for their final project.
"Advertising Campaigns," the department's capstone course for senior advertising majors, brings the ad agency experience to the classroom. Students take what they have learned in theory and apply it to a real-world client.
Harpster, assistant professor of advertising, secures a different client for each section she teaches. This semester, her students have been tasked with building a fully integrated advertising campaign around Subaru and The Fairmount Park Conservancy, a non-profit organization that works to improve Philadelphia's green spaces.
"I work with the client to see what they want the challenge to be for the students and we figure out a budget," says Harpster. "The client comes in and debriefs the students on their brand and the challenge."
Students must conduct research, develop strategies to create the ideal campaign and find a niche market for their brand. They must select modes of distribution, write creative briefs and execute a creative campaign. At the end of the semester, they present their campaign to Harpster, representatives from the client and Michael Maynard, chair of the Department of Advertising.
"The clients have provided feedback sharing that the students' pitches have exceeded their expectations for college level work and that they were impressed," Harpster adds.
The class has been divided into groups of six with the same budget. For Subaru, the budget is $50 million. The Fairmount Park Conservancy campaigns get $75,000. Each group is made up of an account director, account planner, media planner, copywriter and art director. It takes the effort of the entire group to win over the client.
Direct contact
The Fairmount Park Conservancy gave students a tour showcasing different parks around the Philadelphia region and Subaru's national advertising manager, Brian Cavallucci, spoke to the class to give students a concrete idea of his company's brand.
"We're getting industry professionals in our classes," Harpster says. "Students are getting face-to-face contact with these industry professionals and they are able to build relationships."
Having direct contact with the product and a company representative has proven quite helpful to the students. Brian Cavallucci, Subaru's national advertising manager, was one of the representatives that came to speak with the class.
"There is no replacement for real world experience," Cavallucci says. "The project Professor Harpster gave her students gives them the opportunity to work on a project that is set up to represent the way an agency would handle a project for a real client."
Student Annie Aime said this was her first experience working directly with a company representative.
"It's typically someone from an ad agency talking about a client, never the actual client," she says. "It's challenging, but in a good way, because I'm learning more in-depth things about the business world and these challenges are prepping me for the real world."
Past clients have included Tastykake and Pep Boys; Harpster makes it a point to remain local and to secure both for-profit and non-profit clients.
"We're bridging the students to the outside world, from academia to industry," Harpster says. "It really does model what happens in the advertising world as closely as you possibly can in a classroom. They're going through all the stages of research, planning a project and coming up with a pitch just like you would at an agency."
As the students worked to figure out the theme at the core of their campaigns, many admitted to feeling a mix of nerves and excitement.
"This is one big experience giving us a better idea of what to expect after college," student Steve Brydzinski says.

Balance charging 6 1S lipo batteries at once
So I just got my Thunder AC6 charger and want to charge mutliple 1S lipos simultaneously, but I want to charge using the balancer as not to have to worry about the state of each cell...
Does anyone know if a cable like this exists, or if I have to make one what the pinout is? I know there is one for mCP X batteries, but I have not seen one for the little ones used for the mSR X.
I am assuming that the XH Adapter (in pic below charger) that came with the charger has a 6S connector with 7 pins: far left black cable is neg and each of the other 6 are for each individual cell of a 6S battery.
If I am to make an multi pigtail cable then neg is common to all leads and pos goes to each one of the other 6 pins in the 7-pin connector?

1S packs don't need balancing because there's no other cell to balance them against
1S packs are most commonly charged in parallel. Connecting them in parallel ensures that each pack is at exactly the same voltage as all its neighbours. You then set the charger for 1S, and set the amps for X times the amps you would use for a single pack, where X is the number of packs you're charging.
You could, if you want, charge them in series, using the charger's balancing function to keep each cell in step. To do this you'd have to get, or more likely build, a harness that connects the packs in a chain -- pin 1 would be + of the first pack, pin 2 would be - of the first pack and + of the second pack, pin 3 would be - of the second pack and + of the third pack, and so on. So you'd end up with a balance plug that has one more pin than the number of packs. One problem with this approach is you may not be able to use a 6S plug, for example, if you've only got four packs ready to charge, so you may have to make a different harness for every different cell-count. Series charging is generally not recommended with multi-cell packs, but I don't see why it shouldn't be okay for single cells with similar characteristics, provided you're using the balancer and not the charger's main charge leads.
With parallel charging, you simply plug in however many packs are ready for charging -- it doesn't matter if there's a few unused slots in the parallel board/harness.
When charging in series, you'd have to connect all 6 packs or otherwise the circuit will not be complete. You could build a harness with a switch to select how many packs you are charging, but that would make one clumsy harness.
I'd like to see a pic and schematic of your switched harness if you wouldn't mind, I like options and projects
FWIW, a parallel version of the 6x mCP X harness already exists and might be a cheap donor for connectors...
Here's the only difference between the regular series cable and the switchable one: I'm planning to use a switch like this and put it between the positive cable [where banana plugs connect] and each balance connector wire. I'm also thinking to substitute the switch with leftover 3mm banana plugs I have leftover from previous motor/ESC setups.
Below I attached the wiring diagram for the plugs I'm making. The selectable cable design is not final, I may replace the switch with banana plugs. I also have standardized everything to deans plugs, but that's obviously not a requirement.
Seriously though, thanks for posting that; can't wait to hear how happy you are with the final product
BTW - late for you now isn't it?
Serial "balancing" adapter = done!
So following the diagram provided by Gedexas sans selector, along with the pinout in my AC6 manual, and some polarity testing, I have created a 3 x JST balanced adapter.
Here is a pic
I set my charger to 3S, 11.1v as follows
I connected 3 x 1S 3.7v 500mAh 12C batteries and started charging after having flown to LVC, as you can see all cells were slightly different voltages
Apparently the AC6 is smart enough to adjust each individual cell in the series, without using the Balance charge feature...
I monitored progress and kept an eye on both battery temperatures and voltage and in about 20 mins at 0.3A rate, all 3 cells evened out and the charger stopped
I then measured each battery individually with my standalone 8S voltage meter and found the cells to be around 4.18v which I think is acceptable.
After about 15 mins I set the charger to storage mode and ran the 3 batteries down to store
Only things I wish I knew
1) how to change the voltage settings on the AC6 charger, only allows me to select cell count, not set target voltages
-like it wants to store to 3.80v and I want to set to 3.85v
2) why the AC6 and my standalone volt meter disagree with each other
-I can understand and accept a 0.01+/- variation but it is more like 0.03 off
Next I will experiment with parallel charging and will just order the 6 x JST and 6 x pico cables from hobbyking.com
Seems like a lot of work to avoid going 3, 6, 9, ... to figure the charge current. But if you're going to use a DIP slide switch (or any other single pole, multi-position switch), make sure it is "break before make". Otherwise, you'll need to make sure you set it before plugging in the cells and that you don't have it set half way between two positions.
It it's "make before break", the slider will make contact with two cells at the same time and it's going to short out a cell. The short, even briefly, won't do the cell any good; and the spark might weld the slider in place, ruining the switch and putting a short across the cell until you unplug it from the harness.

Defense leading 10-0 Bulldogs
It is all in the numbers. Most of the stats heard by Bulldog fans this season have come from the offense, as records are falling, and the 'Dawgs are averaging 36.7 points a game.
On the flip side, looking at the Bulldogs' defense the last two years, the difference in numbers are a testament to New Albany's success so far.
In 2009, New Albany allowed 275 total points in 12 games. With this Friday night's game against Tishomingo County marking the 11th of the season, the 'Dawgs have yet to hit the century mark on points allowed (86). Of the 86 points, 14 were allowed off turnovers, meaning the defense has given up only 72 points in 10 games.
The cause for this success? A team that has gelled together under a coaching staff that made it their priority to turn this unit around.
"When this coaching staff came together a couple of years ago, this unit really struggled," head coach Ron Price said. "The year before I took over, we gave up around 490 points and were giving up around 41 points a game. We had our hands full turning this unit around and it was a longer process than we had hoped, but the kids kept buying in to what we were doing and we found a defense we thought we could be successful with this season. I'm thrilled that they've been as good as they have been."
As far as individual accomplishments, the 'Dawgs currently have six different players with interceptions, seven with sacks (Austin Howard and Devonte Bradley each have four) and two currently boast over 100 tackles (Riley Alef and Zach Hand).
The biggest numbers come in division play, as the Bulldogs have clinched their first district title thanks to holding each opponent below their season average. Going into the Shannon game, the Red Raiders were averaging 30.3 ppg and were held to only 13. Same with Itawamba, who averaged 26 per game and were held to 13.
"That's it. If the other team doesn't score, it's hard for them to win," Price said. "They feed off of each other now, and they take pride in playing defense and bringing the wood. It's been a lot of fun to watch them this year."
The regular season will come to a close this Friday night, as the Bulldogs will host the Braves. Despite their 1-9 record, New Albany has preached all week that their preparation will be the same as any other week.
Kickoff for tonight's game is 7 p.m., with senior night festivities scheduled beforehand.

Did the Democratic Coalition, Roosevelt Coalition fall apart in '68?
It, it's possible, that the, yeah, I think that's probably so. The Democratic Coalition that had, that FDR had helped to put together, the South, the big city masses, as they were described, Blacks, ah, that coalition was falling apart. An enormous number of White southerners voted for George Wallace. Ah, Humphrey while he only lost to Nixon by a very small number of votes, lost to Nixon and Wallace by a huge number of votes. The Democratic liberal tradition had, ah, been, ah, was voted down overwhelmingly in 1968 and again in '72. And it has had a great deal of trouble ever since. I believe race is one of--racial differences and racial animosities is one of the main reasons that is so.

The Core
I have the same complaint about this movie that I had about school: "too much science." Now, I'm not talking about simple stuff, like determining whether something is a rabbit or a toad -- I'm talking about hard stuff, like geophysics and things that nobody is interested in except guys with comb-overs and women who've programmed their vibrators to sound like Stephen Hawking moaning, "Do it to me, baby."
The premise here is that the core of the Earth has stopped turning and that unless some crafty scientists build a phallic ship to plunge into the Earth and restart the core, the world will end because the atmospheric electromagnetic shield will be destroyed and we'll all be cooked alive by microwave radiation. Let's face it: Cinema and hard science just don't work. For instance, Dr. Edward Brazleton (Delroy Lindo) enters a part of the ship wearing a suit that can withstand 4500 degrees, but it's 9000 degrees in that part of the ship. The filmmaker's idea is that the audience will believe that the suit can survive the heat, just not for very long. Frankly, I agree with that premise. Thank God for public education.
Then there's the part where the ship hits a cavern inside the Earth, but gets stuck in a field of crystals. The crew gets out in an atmosphere of 800,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. Thankfully, we've apparently developed a fabric that can withstand that. The crew has also punched a hole in this cavern, which is filling with molten rock, yet they're still trying to cut this crystal instead of just waiting for the molten rock to melt it. This, of course, is a plot point to get Col. Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) out of the way so that "Beck" Childs (Hilary Swank) can take command, since Swank is billed ahead of Greenwood.
The end is that of a typical Hollywood catastrophe film as the characters are offed according to their level of star power and sexual chemistry. In other words, the lone male survivor has to be the one Beck would most like to boink. Between Brazleton, Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), Sergie Leveque (Tckeky Karyo) and Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), you figure it out.

I recently had an opportunity to talk with Jamil Walker Smith about his new show, "Stargate Universe," which premiers on Friday, Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. on SyFy.
One of the first things you get from speaking to him is he has a great sense of humor and he has a lot of insight into the current state of Hollywood and TV. Of course, this comes from a long history in working in the medium (he was 9 when he worked on the animated series "Hey Arnold!"), and a keen intellect.
We talked about why this "Stargate" spin-off was "must see" TV and what generally excites him as an actor looking to stretch his talent. You can learn more about the show and its cast at http://stargate.mgm.com
Here's a sample of some of the topics we covered in our discussion. Be sure to pick up Wednesday's edition of the Michigan Chronicle.
Michigan Chronicle: How important is it to have diversity in science fiction TV and films?
Jamil Walker Smith: I think it's very important because we live in a culturally diverse world; the new slogan is citizens of the world. It's only fitting that people that reflect the world, get the opportunity to see the universe.
I'm talking to one of my sisters (she likes Tyler Perry), I said I'm on a ship called the Destiny and I'm trying to get home, and she said, "I know all about that." The themes that we're touching on are universal themes that we're touching on in this show I say are universal themes. Themes that extend beyond science fiction and deal with matters of the human condition and spirit.
Working on this show I often think of and draw from the experience of the Black church because there is something very spiritual and very grounding about the idea of trying to get home.
MC: Are you a fan of science fiction movies, TV or books?
JWS: I used to pick up sticks and shoot monsters that were trees in my backyard. I'm not a fan. But what I am a fan of is stories form the heart. I am a fan of stories that deal with the human condition and I can tell you on this show, even though it's in space, I'd say it's fundamentally about people understanding and dealing with the human condition. When I watch the pilot there's a parallel that comes up for me between Katrina and what's going on, on this ship. Because in the same way people were thrown into the Superdome as the result of something tragic, we're all thrown into one place and we can't leave and we have no communication with the outside world. So that's something that I was able to draw upon, from the experience of something that our people went through.

Beaton found the 1942 sitting a challenging one. He wrote in his diary of his quest for originality and his desire to produce a 'composition that is not merely a pastiche of the past'. The sixteen year-old Princess Elizabeth posed in the Bow Room at Buckingham Palace, beside Winterhalter's portrait of Prince Leopold at the age of three months.

The Houston Astros Player Development Department announced today that infielder Alex Bregman has been named the Astros Minor League Player of the Year, and right-handed pitcher Brady Rodgers has been named the Astros Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
With 11 games left in the 2016 regular season, the Astros are looking to secure their second consecutive postseason berth in what will be a critical seven-game homestand. Houston will return home Thursday after going 4-1 thus far on the roadtrip, which has pushed them within 2.0 games of an AL Wild Card spot. The upcoming homestand will have a major impact on Houston's playoff hopes as they take on the LA Angels of Anaheim (Sept. 22-25) and Seattle Mariners (Sept. 26-28). Houston currently owns an 11-1 record against the Angels, who they will face again in Anaheim to end the season, Sept. 30-Oct. 2. Houston is 10-6 vs. the Mariners thus far this season, with a 5-2 mark against Seattle at home.
HOUSTON, TX -- The Houston Astros will open the 2017 season with a seven-game homestand, beginning on April 3 vs. one of their AL West foes, the Seattle Mariners. Following their four-game series vs. the Mariners (April 3-6), the Astros will host the 2015 World Series Champion Kansas City Royals for a three-game set in what will be the season's opening weekend (April 7-9).
The Astros Foundation is hosting its annual Golf Classic, benefitting the Astros Foundation's cornerstone programs as well as the Sunshine Kids, Candlelighters Family Cancer Alliance and the Ronald McDonald House Houston.
The Astros look to keep the positive momentum going, having won 13 of their last 19 games, as they host two first-place teams in the upcoming homestand. The Astros take on the former NL rival Chicago Cubs in a three-game set beginning tomorrow, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 11, in what will be the Cubs first visit to Minute Maid Park since 2012. Following that series, Houston faces off against the in-state and AL West division rival Texas Rangers, Monday, Sept. 12 through Wednesday, Sept. 14. This homestand caps off a run of four straight series against first-place opponents, against whom the Astros have gone 3-4. With 22 games remaining in the regular season, the Astros sit 2.5 games back of an AL Wild Card spot.
The Houston Astros Player Development Department has named the August Minor League Players and Pitchers of the Month at Triple A Fresno, Double A Corpus Christi, Class A Advanced Lancaster, Class A Quad Cities, Class A Short Season Tri-City, Rookie Level Greeneville and the Rookie Level GCL Astros, DSL Astros Blue and DSL Astros Orange.

In reply
We consider the crux of Masters' comments to be (1) Lyme disease must occur in the southern United States because there are patients in this part of the country who have EM-like lesions and (2) despite negative microbiological evidence for Lyme disease in humans in the southern United States, "absence of proof is not proof of absence."
Lyme disease is caused by infection with B burgdorferi sensu lato. Although environmental conditions exist for limited transmission of the agent of Lyme disease to humans in the southeastern United States, convincing documentation of that transmission has not been obtained.1 In contrast, in Lyme disease–endemic areas of North America and Eurasia, Lyme disease is readily confirmed in patients with EM lesions by cultural isolation of the causative agent and by serologic response to discrete B burgdorferi antigens.2- 5 Our study of 14 cases of EM-like rash illness among campers in North Carolina showed a lack of evidence of infection with B burgdorferi using standard cultural isolation procedures and serologic testing. Clinical, epidemiological, and entomological data suggest that the rash may be caused by an agent transmitted by A americanum, the most common human-biting tick at the study site. We cautioned that although such illnesses should clinically be treated as early Lyme disease, EM-like rash illness should no longer be considered definitive evidence of early Lyme disease. Similarly, comprehensive epidemiological and microbiological studies of patients with EM-like rash illness in Missouri6 conclude that the cause of these lesions remains idiopathic, and that possible causes include infection with novel A americanum–transmitted pathogens and an atypical toxic or immunologic response to tick-associated proteins. One possible candidate is a spirochete that cannot be cultivated, provisionally designated Borrelia lonestari sp nov, identified in the midgut of A americanum ticks and characterized by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of the amplified products.7 Studies of the patients from Missouri and North Carolina ruled out infection with several known tick-borne infectious pathogens other than B burgdorferi . Tools are not yet available to test for possible infection of humans with B lonestari.
