When first asked by the editor to submit a critique of this study, I was supplied only with the title, and armed with this, I was confident I could trash and burn the work sufficiently to justify the editor's confidence in me. Alas, my generally feisty mood rapidly dissipated on the review of the data that unarguably show the increased cost, in human and financial terms, of the delayed treatment of symptomatic gallstones. This is not the first study that has shown that physician delay, either rooted in medical ignorance or mandated by bureaucratic indifference, can lead to a higher incidence of complications in a group of patients who should sustain very little morbidity and negligible mortality if treated expeditiously at the onset of symptoms. These California data demonstrate that the cases of 44% of the patients treated for gallstones were complicated by the presence of acute cholecystitis or other sequelae of untreated gallbladder disease and that half of this number had premonitory biliary colic; therefore, almost one quarter of all patients could have been treated electively by laparoscopic cholecystectomy if early operation had been undertaken. If the California figures can be assumed to be representative, hundreds of millions of dollars and countless lives could be saved nationally by earlier intervention. One disturbing piece of data noted by the authors was that 25% of all elective cholecystectomies in California are still being performed as open procedures. In my opinion, this is an unacceptably high number which I suspect reflects a lack of expertise in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy by a substantial number of surgeons practicing in that state. These data presented here throw down the gauntlet to physicians and surgeons, virtually demanding earlier laproscopic intervention in all symptomatic patients. The medical and medicolegal implications of these data should be fully understood by practicing family physicians, internists, and gastroenterologists. Also, it should give pause to those politicians advocating a single governmental payer system in the United States as this will inevitably give rise, as noted by our friends north of the border, to rationing of care and long waiting lists for medical services. The accompanying article clearly shows that this represents inappropriate medical care for patients with symptomatic gallstones.

As the calendar flips over to August in just a few hours, it will mean that there is just about a month until the start of the 2011 college football season.
While Auburn won the national-championship game this past year, the Tigers have lost a chunk of their roster, and should not be huge factors in the race for the title this time around.
However, the team that they defeated on a last-second field goal in the BCS national championship game, Oregon, should be near the top of the rankings once the first polls are released.
With an offense like no other in the history of the game, the Ducks are loaded with talent that should be able to fire on all cylinders once the season begins.
The Ducks are going to fight until the finish once again this year to prove that 2010 was certainly no fluke.
In doing so, Oregon's squad will feature a number of highly sought-after recruits making their college debuts.
These four and five-star caliber athletes have skills that have never made their way to Eugene, as it was not until just a few years ago that Oregon became a national contender for good.
One could trace back the origin of Oregon's meteoric rise into a powerhouse to a number of places, but Nike co-founder Phil Knight's contributions to the program are, without a doubt, the leading cause. It was with Knight's money that the school was able to erect state-of-the-art facilities for the student athletes in Eugene and make the school just as, if not more, desirable to recruits than the goliaths of the college football world.
Now that the Ducks have cemented their place among the top programs in all of college football, they have been able to attract a number of the nation's top high-school prospects, but it was not long ago that just one could satisfy the program and send them in the right direction.
There have been a number of spectacular players that have made their way onto the gridiron of Autzen Stadium through the years, but only a select few have singlehandedly played a part in turning the program into what it is today.

What was your source for this knitting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Birken-Grrl Knee Socks
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If I were to make these socks again, first off I wouldn't use the Moda Dea Sassy Stripes yarn. The colors are pretty, but it's 100% acrylic and it does not breathe. Secondly, I would make the ribbing at the top of the socks a bit longer to help them stay up and / or add elastic. When I wear these socks, they never want to stay up.
Those are so stinken cute! Great job on your first pair of socks!! Be careful...sock knitting is very addictive!
My granddaughter wanted knee socks, but I was afraid they wouldn't stay up. Glad I didn't make them, but the elastic idea sounds great!!!

Cookie Rewards
In addition to the five key skills girls learn from the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls whose troop chooses the base troop proceeds plan can earn individual girl rewards. Direct, booth and online sales, as well as cookies sold for Operation Sweet Treat all count towards a girl's end-of-sale totals.
Rewards are cumulative, which means girls will earn the reward for the highest level achieved and each reward at the lower levels of achievement (with the exception of the achievement bar, which is earned for the highest level of sales). Girls, whose troop chooses a proceeds plan higher than the base plan, forfeit all individual girl rewards other than those specifically noted.
To see this year's rewards for girls who troop elects the base troop proceeds plan, click here. In addition, all girls, (including those whose troop elects higher proceeds) can earn these rewards.
We are awarding four super-size hedgehogs that are currently on display in each of the four service centers. Click here to see how you can win one!
Camp Thanks-A-Lot
All girls, regardless of their troop proceed plan selected, who sell at least 375 packages of cookies earn an overnight (along with an accompanying responsible adult) at one of our three Girl Scout camp properties during 2016 or a themed beach towel.
Dates for Camp Thanks-A-Lot are below:
- June 11-12 at Camp Pisgah and Camp Ginger Cascades, 9 a.m.- 9 a.m.
- June 25-26 at Keyauwee Program Center, 11 a.m.- 11 a.m.
- September 3-4 at Keyauwee Program Center, Camp Ginger Cascades and Camp Pisgah, 9 a.m.- 9 a.m. (Lunch and dinner served on the 3rd, breakfast on the 4th)
- September 4-5 at Keyauwee Program Center, Camp Ginger Cascades and Camp Pisgah, 1 p.m.- 1 p.m. (Dinner served on the 4th and breakfast and lunch on the 5th)
In the event a camp reaches capacity, girls who register first will be given priority. Male chaperones, who attend this event, will have the option to stay in a cabin with other males or pitch tents to stay with their girl(s). No reward choices can be changed after being recorded by your troop cookie volunteer.
Earn Scholarships for Education
$25,000 in scholarships will be awarded for the 2016 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Each girl who sells 500 or more packages will have her name entered in a drawing to win a scholarship. For every additional 500 packages sold, her name will be entered in the drawing again.
We will draw for the followings scholarships at the GEO event on June 18, 2016.
- Two – $500 scholarships at Daisy Age Level
- Three – $500 scholarships at Brownie Age Level
- Four – $500 scholarships at Junior Age Level
- Five – $1,000 scholarships at Cadette Age Level
- Five – $2,000 scholarships at Senior/Ambassador Age Level
In addition to the drawings above, the council will also award these three scholarships:
- Top Seller – $2,500* scholarship
- 2nd Highest Seller – $2,000* scholarship
- 3rd Highest Seller – $1,000* scholarship
*In the event of a tie for first, second or third place, the girls will split the scholarship funds. For example – if two girls tie for second highest seller, each girl will receive a $1,500 scholarship and the third highest scholarship will not be awarded. If two girls tie for third highest seller, each girl will receive a $500 scholarship.

A Susquehanna Valley animal shelter is hosting a program that helps kids read and gives cats some companionship all at the same time.Video Transcript
3 NEW THIS MORNING IN LEARNING MATTERS. IT'S A SIMPLE CONCEPT. A UNIQUE READING PROGRAM INVOLVING KIDS ... AND CATS. AND FOR A SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER... IT'S TURNING INTO A BIG SUCCESS... THAT'S NOW BEING MODELED BY OTHER SHELTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 3 --NATS OF DOGS -- THE ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE OF BERKS COUNTY IS A BUSY PLACE.--MORE NATS--- AND A NOISY ONE TOO... BUT ALONG WITH THE TYPICAL SOUNDS OF ANIMALS HOPING FOR A NEW HOME... THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE HERE NOW...22:49:28 "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. SOMETHING A LITTLE UNUSUAL."His parents called him Eustace Clarence and his masters called him scrub." SYDNI YEAGER IS HERE TO READ TO THE CATS... SHE'S READING A BOOK BY ONE OF HER FAVORITE AUTHORS... C-S LEWIS. THE CATS... WELL, THEY'RE DOING WHAT CATS DO. 22:47:48 "They're here listening to me and I get to pet them and talk to them." THIS IS PART OF THE BOOK BUDDIES PROGRAM HERE. IT ALL STARTED WHEN A STAFF MEMBER HAD AN INTERESTING IDEA..22:38:12 "Her son was struggling in reading and during the summer she brought him into work a couple of times to read to the cats.And she saw an immediate improvement in his reading and we decided to open it up to the public." KIDS OF ALL AGES HAVE BEEN COMING IN TO READ...2:57:20 'Little horse, little horse, what do you see? I see a green frog looking at me." LIKE 3-YEAR-OLD HARLOW.23:01:26 "They enjoy the voices. And being able to curl up next to somebody." 23:01:06 "It's nice to see her just giggle with the animals. It's cool." THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A BOON FOR THE SHELTER. THEY'RE GETTING INQUIRIES FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FROM SHELTERS WHO WANT TO COPY THE PROGRAM.22:42:08 "It's been absolutely amazing." 22:38:58 "They feel good because they're doing something good for the animals, but they're actually doing something good for themselves too." KIDS... AND CATS... AND A PROGRAM THAT BENEFITS BOTH. 22:55:20 "The kids are comfortable. The animals love it, because they're getting all loved up.It just seems so relaxing and so much fun at the same time instead of reading as a chore." 3 THE AMIMAL RESCUE BELIEVES THAT THE BOOK BUDDIES PROGRAM HAS EVEN HELPED WITH ADOPTIONS. SOME PARENTS WHO BRING THEIR KIDS IN TO READ... END UP ALSO ADOPTING A PET.

How Other Query Languages Address Sql Flaws Discussion
Continued discussion about
Moved due to size and threadiness:
Availability of Implementation
: Imaginary. Is nowt but a gleam in Top's eye.
Pro: Gives us time to fix any major flaws or shortcomings.
Con: Said time may be infinite.
Like your nagging
You love it. That's why you keep coming back for more.
I'd like to point out that
existed as an "imaginary" language for quite a time, yet served a purpose.
-- top
I don't claim
is without purpose. I claimed it is imaginary. There's a difference.
It runs on biological CPU's, just not artificial ones yet :-) Why does one make it "imaginary" but not the other?
An imaginary language is one without an implementation. It requires imagination to "run" the code because it won't run any other way.
Brains ARE computers, not just very accurate/consistent ones.
So? You appear to suggest
has validity as a language despite not existing. That is reasonable if
exists to illustrate significant concepts.
, for example, pre-dated implementations in order to illustrate the
and show what
's abstract
specification could look like if implemented. What significant concept(s) does
. I'm sure you will disagree with the priorities it optimizes for, but I expected that.
Further, Tutorial D served as a
training language
for some time before it was implemented. Are you dismissing this period of time?
Absolutely. Similarly, I will dismiss
as mere fantasy until it's executable.
Let me get this clear. You are saying it was a bad idea for C. J. Date to use Tutorial D as a training language or syntax until it was machine executable? If so, is algebra also useless until students can actually "execute" it on an artifical machine? -t
Are you claiming
is a teaching language, despite putting it here on a page of comparisons to other usable, executable languages? Are you claiming it represents a theoretical foundation so significant that it's on equal footing with algebra?
Yes, in the sense it "illustrates concepts". Further, being a teaching tool does not preclude it from being a potential production notation either. It can be both. Pascal started out as a "teaching language", I would note.
What concepts does it illustrate?
Those are language design goals, the things that presumably make it of value once implemented; they are not a description of the concepts that an unimplemented
I disagree: they illustrate at least one approach to achieving them.
You mean
syntax illustrates at least one approach for achieving
syntax? That's hardly a conceptual illustration.
No. You misread something.
What I mean is that your goals are primarily syntactic. Essentially, they are tweaks to what SQL already does rather than being conceptually distinct. A language that is strictly adherent to the
is conceptually distinct from SQL. A language that allows column selections to be specified via a table is not.
My main goal is indeed to improve "expressiveness" and less about achieving "purity", which I see best treated as an option, not dictated, in order to better fit the messy real world and existing databases. We keep coming back to this same disagreement and are not likely to settle it. You seem to downplay the importance of expressiveness. Few would want to use a "pure" relational assembler language (at least outside of
). - t
If your goal is to improve "expressiveness", then I take back my point above that "I don't claim
is without purpose." I now claim it is
without purpose until it is implemented, because merely demonstrating improved expressiveness is meaningless without an implementation. This has nothing to do with "purity" or lack thereof, and everything to do with whether or not your imaginary language serves any purpose.
Please elaborate on "demonstrating improved expressiveness is meaningless without an implementation". I'm sure most language designers drafted their language on paper and mentally executed examples and scenarios before hitting the keyboard. In fact,
mathematical algorithms
existed only on paper and were quite useful WITHOUT the computer being invented yet. Most creators and users of math notation didn't even conceive of the existence of computers yet. Sure, it's nice to have a computer implementation, but lack of does not make a notation "useless". You protest too much. - t
Mathematical algorithms and novel language designs are of value on paper because they illustrate something new. What is new in
Hogwash. 100% novelty is not necessary to study a notation for usability/grokkability. In fact, it was foolish to start to implement Rel and related languages without first bouncing around the paper notation to wider parties. I've gotten very useful comments from others looking at the draft of
Of course, 100% novelty is not necessary. What I'm asking about is
novelty. As for
and related languages, these have been bounced around to various parties in three editions of
, an article also entitled
dating back to 1995, Date's
An Introduction to Database Systems
text, and Date, Darwen, and Lorentzos's
Temporal Data and the Relational Model
book. At least. There are also various articles, dissertations, etc., based on this work. I'm sure you have received useful comments -- on
syntax itself.
, however, does not illustrate any new concepts or approaches. It merely demonstrates the concepts of SQL in a slightly different syntax from SQL. In terms of conceptual illustration, SQL will do.
Sorry, I disagree. It appears you are more interested in purity than expressiveness and thus weigh such issues much heavier than expressiveness. That's fine, but your priorities are not the center of the universe. You've yet to prove that purity will save the world from asteroids, cure cancer, and rescue kittens from trees without any downsides. I haven't either, but at least I don't claim my personal priorities magically trump yours.
And I disagree with "slightly different". It has standard and re-compos-able atoms where SQL doesn't (other than a mishmash of keywords). It's almost like
Lisp versus COBOL
{It does? Where is this standard? And quit griping about people being "more interested in purity than expressiveness" when it isn't especially relevant. One can be pure AND expressive. Perhaps
is more expressive than SQL, but I'm not convinced that
is more expressive than
's dialect of
. (Appealing to
does not convince. It isn't as though the primary developer of
is a skilled
, and real expressivity is a tricky snipe to catch even if one is trying.)}
"Consistent" is perhaps a better word than "standard" in this context.
Until we have an objective way to measure "expressiveness", I will present my approach and you yours, and we'll
. I would like to point out
prefix_vs_infix under
as food for thought.
{You're going after 'expressiveness' and
you don't even know what it is
? I'll let that stand for itself.}
I didn't say I didn't know what is, only that I cannot quantify it thus far. And, if you do, then document it, quantify it, apply it, measure it, and then score it. Science, my friend, science. Otherwise, there's no objective way to say that approach X is more expressive than approach Y, despite bragging and personal attacks. Note that expressiveness often involves simplicity in building blocks, power (ability to do work), brevity (less code to do X), and intuitiveness. - t
{I have no responsibility to document anything on your behalf, but I will posit that your understanding of 'expressivity' is fundamentally incorrect if you think it is a one-place word (see
). Anyhow, it seems you are suggesting you do know what expressiveness is, albeit only in the same sense as 'pornography' or 'home' - you know it when you see it. That makes designing to achieve it quite difficult. And what the frell is 'intuitiveness'?}
Again, I believe
. Maybe expressiveness to your mind is not expressive to another. I have no problem with that being the case. I never claimed any universal truth. The purpose of this topic is to present and explore the many alternatives. In many cases there will be no magic formula to narrow down the "right" choice. YOU are the one implying a master truth, not me.
{Ah, the hand-wavy appeal to 'psychology', followed by a baseless accusation that your opposition is depending upon a 'universal' or 'master' truth. I applaud your skill with bullshit. Anyhow, is the purpose of this topic really to explore
alternatives? Like
? If so, then why aren't there more imaginary alternatives listed? Or maybe this whole page is really a thin excuse to put
's imaginary pet as the first of four alternatives?}
I've put the list in alphabetical order.
Again again, it's not any more imaginary than math notation before computers.
{Oh? Math notation before computers was published in books, well formalized, well defined. Are you claiming your
notation is at a similar status, such that all that is left to do is implement it within computers? If so, point me. If not, then
is much more imaginary than mathematical notation.}
You are just biased against anything I touch. If other people want to create a candidate relational language to explore, I for one
am all for it
because the community should bounce around ideas
wasting time implementing something before sufficient scrutiny has been applied to it. If that's not rational, then beat me with a sigma symbol. Below are typical steps to engineering something with lasting impact. You did step 5 first.
1. Brainstorm among stakeholders
2. Categorize and group options/choices
3. Discuss and evaluate the options/choices among the stakeholders
4. Vote (if applicable)
5. Implement
{That looks an awfully lot like a formula for
. (And what a committee! of stakeholders rather than experts.)}
Not necessarily. There may be a final "decider", perhaps the implementer. But I think it is rational and reasonable to let multiple minds review the possibilities and selection reasoning before hitting the keyboard. If we are going to suggest SQL be replaced by something better, let's make sure we
covered all the bases
. For example,
, an influencer of
, has suggested that settling on infix notation was perhaps a mistake (or at least better for teaching than for production). It's a lot harder to fix it now. - t
Infix vs prefix has been discussed on
is an active participant. I don't recall him reiterating any regrets about infix, and there's been ample opportunity for redesign and no reluctance to doing so. Some portions of
have changed dramatically over the three editions of
, and a forthcoming publication will make further changes. If anything, the consensus appears to be that infix vs prefix is essentially insignificant -- at best deserving consideration on an operator-by-operator basis and not much consideration at that.
BTW, if we're "going to
SQL be replaced", the "suggestion" is going to be afforded all the attention it deserves, i.e., none, because we're nowt but a gaggle of
idly babbling around the virtual water cooler. If SQL is going to be replaced, it will be replaced by an implementation, not a discussion.
Sometimes great things come from water-cooler talk. It's not like there's a single formula for progress. In my opinion it's good to bounce an idea around among many people before actually coding, if possible (even if you reject their suggestions). If you disagree with such, so be it. That's life.
Indeed. Top, I think you've confused "design by committee" with "engineering something with lasting impact", neither of which have anything to do with actually creating something with lasting impact, which usually goes something like this:
1. Vision!
2. Implement vision.
3. Hard slogging, good promotion, and luck.
4. Profit! :) Or fail. :( No telling which 'til you get here...
But I'm suggesting a decent compromise between CowboyDesign
. - t
They both suck in different ways. If you wish to continue this discussion, I'd suggest splitting this section off and putting it in something like DesignApproachDiscussion

Delahoussaye, Meche top All-Acadia Parish softball team
CROWLEY – Notre Dame and Rayne High dominated opposition on the softball field during the 2010 season, combining for 52 victories and just 14 losses.
The two Acadia Parish schools, each coming off of one of their most successful seasons ever, were rewarded for their efforts, first on the field and now on the Crowley Post-Signal All-Acadia Parish team that was released today.
Notre Dame, which won the 2010 Class AAA state championship with a 12-11 victory over Parkview Baptist, garnered four selections while Rayne, which lost to Parkview, 1-0, in the semifinals, nailed down five slots.
Notre Dame first-year coach Lauren Delahoussaye claimed the Coach of the Year award after guiding her Lady Pios to their first state title since 2004.
Delahoussaye led the Lady Pios to an overall mark of 28-8 and the No. 5 seed in the playoffs where they defeated No. 28 Church Point (8-1), No. 12 North DeSoto (10-1), No. 4 Catholic High of New Iberia (3-0), No. 1 Buckeye (2-1) and No. 6 Parkview.
Rayne's Mariel Meche also earned top honors, taking home the team's Most Valuable Player award. The junior hurler logged a record of 7-3 in district play with an earned run average of 1.93. She recorded 60 strikeouts and gave up 21 hits and 25 runs in 58 innings.
Meche was also a force at the late, hitting .639 with 10 doubles, two triples, two home runs and 21 RBI.
Meche is joined on the squad by teammates Tori Mott, Kelsey Hollier, Julie Boutin and Courtney Boutin.
Mott, a junior outfielder, hit .382 with four doubles and eight RBI while Hollier, a junior shortstop, hit .458 with four doubles, two home runs and 12 RBI.
Julie Boutin made the list at utility after posting a .333 average with three doubles and eight RBI. Courtney Boutin, a freshman second baseman, hit .385 with one double and four RBI.
Notre Dame earned four spots on the first-team in senior pitcher Hannah Godeaux, junior catcher Miranda LeBlanc, senior outfielder Alex Boulet and junior infielder Taylor Simon.
Godeaux, who handled most of the pitching duties for the state champion Lady Pios, finished the season with an overall mark of 23-8 and had a 5-2 record in league play. She had 113 strikeouts on the year.
Like Meche, Godeaux also got it done at the plate, hitting .466 with 14 RBI from the cleanup spot in the lineup.
LeBlanc hit for an average of .387 with 10 RBI while Boulet led the team during the league slate, hitting .482 with three RBI as the Lady Pios leadoff hitter. Simon hit .464 with 15 RBI.
Meche and Godeaux are joined by Iota's Lauren LeJeune and Church Point's Hannah Benoit as the team's pitchers.
LeJeune posted a .6-6 mark in league play for the Lady Dogs while also hitting .347.
Also making the team on the infield is Crowley High senior Mandy Burke. She hit .414 on the season with three doubles, two triples and 10 RBI.
Burke is joined on the squad by teammates Maranda Guidry and Lainee Brooks.
Guidry, a junior outfielder, hit .321 with one triple and five RBI for the Ladies while Brooks, a freshman slapper, made the unit at utility after hitting .300 from the leadoff spot with an on base percentage of .417.
Also making the team as utility players are Church Point's Morgan Faul and Iota's Maggie Frey.
Honorable mentions include Notre Dame's Taylor Boulet and Caroline Stewart; Crowley High's Kristan Hargrave and Janae Bertrand; Iota's Gabbi Heinen and Laura Cart; Rayne's Ariel Meche and Kaitlin Thibodeaux and Church Point's Robbie Dailey and Amy Guillory.

OnceAndOnlyOnce and all that... -- JamesHollidge Yes, but it doesn't read nearly as well at the call site, which is the whole point. The number of calls should be large enough compared to the number of factory methods to amortize the overhead of the extra code.

MNRC - McLaughlin Mine, CA, USA
|Station Name
|In Operation
|2003/06/19 15:00:00 - Present
|709.87 meters
LocationThe MNRC site is on property owned and formerly operated by Homestake Mining Company as a surface gold mine. The geology of the area is extremely varied and complex. With the conclusion of mining operations, the property will be managed by UC Davis as the McLaughlin Reserve (part of the University of California Natural Reserve System. The seismographic vault is the first new research project on the reserve. The site is located approximately 20 kilometers east of the town of Lower Lake, California in an area of Franciscan sandstone.
Support for MNRC was provided by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services as part of the California Integrated Seismic Network.
NetworkBK, BARD (Berkeley Digital Seismic Network and Bay Area Regional Deformation Network)
GeologyFranciscan sandstone
Vault/Borehole ConditionsA steel and concrete vault from a shipping container similar to those found at stations JCC, PKD, and HOPS was constructed. Power and telephone lines were trenched approximately 300 meters to the site. Because of the remoteness of the site, digital telephone data circuits are not available. Telemetry was established in spring 2004 using a radio network that brings the data down to Napa and into the frame-relay network.
GPS Monument DescriptionAntenna mount is embedded in wall of concrete seismic vault, built on bedrock.

GPS Data Quality
Data completeness is defined both as "Completeness of observations" and "Cycle slips per observation". "Completeness of Obs." is the number of epochs in the final RINEX file normalized to the expected number. This percentage will go down if time is missing from the RINEX file. "Cycle slips per Obs." is the total number of detected cycle slip normalized to the total number of observations in the RINEX file. This number will increase as the receiver loses lock on satellites more frequently.
Previous Year Lifetime
The effects of multipath on the data are estimated by parameters for L1 and L2 (MP1 and MP2 respectively); see Estey and Meertens (GPS Solutions, 1999) for derivation. The daily value is the RMS of MP1 and MP2 throughout the day and for all satellites. Higher values indicate a greater prevalence and/or strength of multipathing, i.e. objects on the ground are providing multiple reflection pathways from the satellite to antenna.

With a wealth of decorated veterans returning from last season's 10-5-4 squad, the Stetson men's soccer team is poised for another stellar campaign in 2012. This season's version of the Hatters is still untested and unproven as a unit, but with Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and NSCAA Third Team All-America Jonathan Mendoza as well as A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year Luis Ocejo back in the fold, Stetson seems poised to make another deep run in the conference tournament and vie for its second berth into the NCAA Championships in just four years.
Mendoza will lead a myriad of returning midfielders for the Hatters in 2012. The reigning Player of the Year and All-American was an offensive dynamo for Stetson last season. Totaling 11 goals and five assists for a team-best 27 points, Mendoza was called "an MLS-level talent" by Top Drawer Soccer. The publication went on to say that the midfielder "is one of those hidden gems of college soccer and worth all of the preseason hype."
Junior Steven Saballos will add a lot of experience in the center of the Hatters' midfield, having started 18 games and totaling one goal and five assists a year ago. Senior Caleb Matthews, who tallied one score in 13 games as a sophomore in 2010, sophomore Elias Beates, with his two goals in 19 matches from a season ago, and sophomore Dwight Lodge will add plenty of experience at the position.
Junior AJ Cardounel and redshirt freshman Juan Polanco didn't see action last season, but will provide depth to the Stetson midfield in 2012. A pair of newcomers will also help fill out the Hatters' bevy of midfielders this fall. Travis Workman is a junior from DeLand, while Quinn Ebright hails from Tampa.
Last year's squad outscored its opponents 38-30, and that differential was due in part to Ocejo anchoring the defense. The 2011 Defensive Player of the Year in the A-Sun added two goals and three assists to his stingy defending last season. Ocejo was also named Preseason Defensive Player of the Year by the league earlier this month.
He will be joined by a trio of experienced backs in juniors Raffaele Centofanti and JJ Bostic, as well as sophomore JJ Lofthouse-Smith. Centofanti and Bostic added two goals out of the back in 2011, while Lofthouse-Smith was third on the team in minutes last season. Junior Chris Aguirre, redshirt freshman Gabriele Vittori, and freshman Doug Szoka from DeLand will add depth to the Stetson defense in 2012.
Senior Kai Eckenrode is an experienced attacking player who was recently named to the A-Sun's Preseason All-Conference Team. He scored four goals and added six assists as a junior in 2011. Senior Joakim Helland and junior Evan Jimmo have each shown the ability to help the Hatter offense in the past. Helland was second on the team with five goals last year, while Jimmo scored a goal in 17 appearances last season. Freshman Fabrizio Chiari of Caracas, Venezuela will add depth to the Stetson attack this fall.
Entering his junior season with a career 0.82 goals-against average, Andreas Schnabl has proven to be one of the top goalkeepers in the conference. Recording five shutouts in each of his first two seasons, Schnabl will look to lead the Hatters from the very back once again in 2012. Stetson also brought in freshman goalkeeper Luis Arrazola, who will provide the Hatters with depth and flexibility at the position.
Stetson's schedule for the 2012 campaign includes three NCAA Tournament participants from a year ago in West Virginia, UCF and A-Sun foe FGCU. The slate begins with a trip to Penn State on August 25. The Hatters will take on last season's Big 10 runner-up for the second year in a row, after defeating the Nittany Lions by a score of 3-2 early in the 2011 season.Head Coach T. Logan Fleck Interview

Maybe it's the Roman numerals.
Maybe it's the expected 1.25 billion chicken wings annually served on the day.
Maybe it's the $98,936,798 bet last year.
Maybe it's simply the incredible popularity of the National Football League.
Whatever "it" is, Super Bowl Sunday has it.
On Sunday, the 2014 Super Bowl will play out at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., when the Denver Broncos meet the Seattle Seahawks.
The Super Bowl is a national annual treasure starting back in 1967 with the name "First World Championship Game." Most in the U.S. watched a black-and-white television broadcast of the game played in the Los Angeles Coliseum between the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs and NFL's Green Bay Packers.
The game has fostered so many memorable moments and made heroes and goats of players with names like Bart Starr, Garo Yepremian, Roger Staubach, Duane Thomas of then-West Texas State University, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, John Elway, Troy Aikman and so many, many more.
The first Texas Panhandle native to play in the game was Stinnett's very own Donny Anderson, who was a running back for the victorious Packers in 1967.
The latest Texas Panhandle native to play in the game was Ziggy Hood of Palo Duro, who was a defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV in 2011.
For sure, the winner of this game will mean some serious joy to fans of those two teams.
But Super Bowl Sunday means so much more to America than simply a football game.
What other game or show on TV during the year charges $4 million for a 30-second commercial and has those commercials rated from best to worst the next day?
What other game pumps up sales of big-screen TVs the week before?
What other game has non-football fans hosting watch parties — and liking it?
It's the Super Bowl.
And Sunday it's here again. It's Super Bowl XLVIII.

Bad weather conditions can affect trees a lot. It can also be very dangerous for people. That's one of the reasons to remove dead trees near the home to avoid such things when there's windy storms. Each year, there are quite a few number of cases where trees fall on homes, cars and even people. Even in a big city like Atlanta, that number is still staggering. Many homeowners have suffered hefty damages to their properties but the most amazing thing is that they're unaware of what to do in such cases, or just simply call an emergency tree removal Atlanta service. The first thing they think of are:
I hope it's the neighbour's tree.
If it's my tree falling and land in the neighbour's yard, am I liable for the damage?
Will my insurance company cover this?
How long would it take to fix my roof?
How long will it take to remove the fallen tree?
Who deals with such problem?
How much will this cost me?
These are genuine normal questions in such situations. The good news is that the insurance company is responsible for such matter. Not only that, they should also cover the entire cost. They usually have a list of local tree service vendors for the homeowner to choose from. An insurance representative is usually sent out on site to inspect and taking care of the whole deal, including compensation. When the tree service company is at your door, they usually tell you what they're going to do and how long it will take. You can tell the insurance rep what your requirements are among other things and they'll communicate with the tree guys.
The process usually doesn't take too long, unless it's a complicated situation like a tree falls through a house or on a tall building. In such case, the process can be a lengthy one. The cost can also be much higher as well. However, with a qualified tree service provider, they can handle any situation and deal with complex problems.
A tricky situation is when your tree falls on to your neighbour property or vice versa. The responsibility often lies with the owner of the fallen tree. These situations are usually solved in good atmosphere as one would try to be a good neighbour and not ruin the relationship. The best way to let the insurance company deals with everything and to cover all costs.

Honestly, why is it that women can rattle off a myriad of colors so sickening, it would make even the Teletubbies throw up a little bit in their mouths, while men, for the most part, seem content to use ROY G. BIV (that's Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, etc. for those of you who were sick that day of school, or were perhaps more invested in eating their crayons than writing with them)?
Some are quick to argue that this is just more evidence that women triumph over men in sophistication, depth and intellectual prowess. But I'm afraid that assumption is fraught with error. In fact, simplicity can not only be a virtue, but in some cases, it can even be a sign of remarkable intelligence.
Far too often, I'll be getting ready for a night out with friends, when I hear a sudden utterance that causes pangs of terror to reverberate throughout my body.
"You should wear your Raw Sienna shirt, tonight," the voice of my better half bellows from an adjacent room.
"Raw Sienna?," I say softly to myself, struggling to force the images of Boss Ross and his "happy little tree" from my mind. "Which shirt is that?!"
"You know…," says my sweet, stomping over to my chair and holding a decidedly brown Polo shirt between her thumb and forefinger. "This one!"
But I do not know. Nor had I ever known Raw Sienna intimately until that very moment.
Or there are occasions when I'm shopping at a mall of some sort. During these occasions, I usually have a mission. "I need pants," I say to myself and then begin to execute my plan of selecting, acquiring and purchasing the aforementioned item. In my experience, this is not how my lovely shops.
At some point, on my way to said pants, I usually run head long into a horrific inquiry, the answer to which will invariably decide my fate, and sleeping arrangement for the evening.
"Which one do you like? The Magenta or the Cadet Blue skirt??"
"Uh…which one do you like?"
But this only buys her enough time to pick up something she calls "Mother of Teal."
If you're anxious to know how that inquisition ends, let's just say I never choose the right one.
This kind of nonsense even applies to my car, the same sleek Tercel I have mentioned in previous posts.
"Well what color do you think it is?" I ask.
Of course I have no idea what she means by this, so give her a piece of my mind. "I don't know what the hell p—p-ink or whatever you said is, but it's clearly red!"
By far, the worst is when my better half and her friends get together and have a few glasses of wine. They're all like…
"So I went to the GAP today and lavender, lavender, orchid."
"Really, because I just saw a cute little marigold, fuchsia, marigold."
"You totally should have bought it! My friend from college tried on an aquamarine Robin's egg blue!"
Now that I have demonstrated this rainbow of nonsense, let me get back to my point about simplicity. To women's credit, their world has depth. It is a multi-faceted, dappled tapestry of variance and heterogeneity. But with this complexity comes confusion and indecision. I believe that an exposure to gross numbers of colors at a young age can have harmful consequences, even inducing altered perceptions of reality.
The ability to read more depth into a given situation than the particular situation merits can ultimately lead to serious developmental and social problems. On the other hand, it is the ability of men, in the absence of colossal boxes of crayons at a young age, to infer from multiple variables and seemingly contradictory meanings, a more simplistic, clear and logical conclusion.
To reduce the wildly complex world of plums and eggplants down to the more logical purple in the white-hot heat of a mental crucible, demonstrates a tremendous feat of intellectual prowess. This is not to say men are more intelligent than women—
But then again, using the deductive skills that come from years of wielding a tiny box of crayons, it actually does.
And so, I will once again use my powers of deduction to infer that having placed all of these variables down in writing, and having derived the above conclusion -- that women are somehow damaged by a larger box of crayons -- I will logically be sleeping on the sidewalk tonight...
...with my tiny box of crayons.

Skip to comments.Dem lawmakers to announce bill limiting online ammo sales
Posted on 07/29/2012 3:38:40 PM PDT by jazusamo
Two Democratic lawmakers on Monday will announce new legislation to regulate the online and mail-order sale of ammunition.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.) said the new law would make the sale of ammunition safer for law-abiding Americans who are sick and tired of the ease with which criminals can now anonymously stockpile for mass murder, in a statement released Saturday.
The lawmakers cite the recent movie massacre in Aurora, Colo. for spurring their bill.
The shooter who killed 12 and injured 58 in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater this month had purchased over 6,000 rounds of ammunition anonymously on the Internet shortly before going on his killing spree, according to law enforcement officials, the statement reads. The shooter used a civilian version of the militarys M-16 rifle with a 100-round drum magazine, a shotgun and two .40-caliber semi-automatic handguns commonly used by police officers.
Lautenberg and McCarthy, who will unveil their new proposal at New Yorks City Hall say they intend to make it harder for criminals to anonymously stockpile ammunition through the Internet.
Lautenberg and McCarthy are two high profile advocates of gun control legislation, but they face an uphill struggle in Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said last week that he does not intend to bring gun control legislation to the floor and President Obama has been reluctant to press lawmakers to act on the issue in an election year.
Democratic senators though have offered an amendment to the cybersecurity bill that would limit the purchase of high capacity magazines by some consumers. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) defended it last Thursday as a reasonable gun control measure.
The amendment is identical to a separate bill proposed in January 2011 by Lautenberg also banning the sale of high capacity ammunition magazines.
After the shootings in Colorado, the New Jersey senator urged lawmakers to reconsider his bill.
We need to start today on efforts to prevent the next attack, he said in a statement. We should begin by passing my legislation to ban the sale of high-capacity gun magazines. No sportsman needs 100 rounds to shoot a duck, but allowing high-capacity magazines in the hands of killers like James Holmes and Jared Loughner puts law enforcement at a disadvantage and innocent lives at risk.
Loughner, the gunman charged in the shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-Ariz.) and Holmes, who is the lone suspect in the Aurora theater shootings are both believed to have used high-capacity magazines.
Criminals will have NO PROBLEM getting ammo - because organized crime will provide it - - giving organized crime one more income stream.
Which makes criminals and crime families more powerful...
If you don't hate liberals, you're not paying attention.
These idiots think nothing of 25 ga of gasoline, but bullets scare them.
The amount of ammo this guy actually used could have been bought at any Walmart any day of the week.
"make it harder for criminals to anonymously stockpile ammunition through the Internet. "
What's anonymous about it? It has to be paid for by someone, and delivered to someone. That's hardly anonymous.
Of course this bill will fail, the only question is the political one.
Should Boehner put it up for a vote or not- get the Congress on the record?
Would putting it to a vote just give Democrats in the House a chance to get some 2nd Amendment bonafides by castinga "nay" vote and thus help them in the upcoming election?
The fact this gets reported is BS. These people don't have the authority to even discuss this.
they never miss an opportunity to ratchet up regulations tighter and tighter like a noose around our necks
We will see what Mitt says.
Facts? Don't confuse the lib-dem idiots with facts. Facts are stubborn things.
Stick a rider on it ending taxpayer paid security for government officials.
He isn't into "Gun Free Zones", if you know what I mean. He follows the philosophy that "I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six".
How amazing it is that people so easily surrender their personal safety and God Given Constitutional Rights to appease the Useful Idiot Citizenry who support Liberal Politicians and their agenda. Only Fairies and Unicorns exist in a Criminal free Utopia.
We were discussing the "ballistic" clothing the Perp was wearing. I think the Rats are trying to outlaw that too.
Even if a round would not penetrate the clothing, that skinny little Perp would have been knocked off his feet while peeing his pants had anyone even winged him.
Just ranting. I hate Democrat, Liberals and everything they stand for. I'll blame my Brother for getting me all fired up. LOL
You know, I hear tell that on the world market, AKs can be had for $10 each. Is this true?
I went to the gun show today, here in Miami. HUGE show and packed tighter than any I've seen in recent memory. Sales looked brisk. Ammo was a decent price too. Especially the 45 and 9mm that I saw. I wasn't in the market for that having made a bulk buy of shooting ammo a few weeks ago. But I did pick up some 45 Colt, 454 Casull and 460 magnum for my XVR 460. Those prices were excellent. Even better than online and I didn't need to pay shipping or wait for delivery. It's nice to have a heavy caliber revolver that fires three distinctly different calibers. That's what I call DIVERSITY!
So the next nut case will have bought all the ammo locally. How many lives would that have saved?
Duh, that's why we need to limit sales of ammo *everywhere* (step 2 of the game plan)
First off, these assholes never give up. Lautenberg, surprised that walking mummy is still walking. MCCarthy, another joke.
I guess I see now why the NRA supported Reid in the election.
Pump shotguns like the 870 he used generally take at least 5 shells in the magazine. Many take 8.
Don't try to use logic. They are Democrats, the antithesis of anything logical.
It's best to pay cash anyways.
Yep, or make it illegal to fly planes into buildings.
Or, how about make it illegal to use box cutters as weapons?
Why do the Dems not want Americans with guns?????? New World Order!!!!!They want to control all the people..... SCREW EM!!!!
The corollary to my tag line, of course, is you can't have too much ammunition.
Thank you. I have been saying this for many years now. The North Hollywood shootout involved drum magazines as well - cheap, unreliable magazines that are prone to jam. If this shooter had been using standard 30 round magazines, the damage would've been much worse. 100 round magazines (and even 50 round magazines) are novelty items and nothing more. The military doesn't use them because they are garbage.
In this case, high-capacity magazines saved lives.
A bit hard to fathom that folks don't already have thousands in each caliber they need, and a few thousand in other calibers for barter.
Actually, just boxcutters.
I bet they both used the Interstate Highway System in some way connected with their crimes, too! And the Internet!
Idiots like these Congresscritters and this reporter need to buy a clue.
the libs just don't get it....pathetic!
So they can't just go to store and pay cash? I can get a lot more ammo than Holmes did without raising any red flags, while purchasing everything local.
Yet another anti-gun bill that does nothing except punish the law-abiding.
Funny that this reporter only mentions Dingy Harry and the Senate prospects for passage of these gun/ammo grabbing bills, but doesn't mention the prospects for passage in the GOP controlled House!!!
Maybe the reporter forgot to mention that the House must also approve these bills for them to become law. Or more likely, didn't want to ruin this puff piece article for gun grabbers by pointing out that these bills are DOA in the GOP controlled House.
I would be suprised if Mccarthy's ammo-banning bill even makes it to a House committee hearing before this Congress ends it's term in January, 2013 or if Boehner just tables the bill himself using his authority as Speaker to do this and no action is taken on it at all. Either way, this bill is DOA in the House - the House GOP leadership is not so stupid as to allow this bill to see the light of day, in my opinion.
One would like to think so.
But one wonders if one can ever be completely certain of the intelligence of the GOP leadership.
Next thing you know, they might be funding the HHS regulation requiring all insurance plans to pay for contraception, abortifacients and abortions...
Whew! Good thing he only had 6,000. Just think how much trouble he could have caused if he had 6,000,000!
first off, 6,000 rounds of .223 weighs in at just shy of 200 pounds (give or take). No one can carry that sort of load if they are on a mission of any sort. I'm interested in hearing how banning bulk sales would have somehow prevented this (CO) incident or even diminished it in some way.
Secondly, I think it's worth pointing out that 100 round drum magazines in the hands of thugs or nuts is an advantage for the LEO. Finding one that functions properly (as shown in the CO case) is next to impossible.
I understand, but feel that even Boehner and Cantor do not want to become enemies of the NRA, Gun Owners of America and other Gun Owners/2nd Amendment supporters, especially this close to an election or even after the election.
Boehner, Cantor and the rest of the House GOP leadership know that allowing Gun Control laws to pass out of the GOP controlled House, especially when there is no national popular call/consensus for gun control legislation to be enacted will mean no more GOP control of the House next year or by the next election after that if they try to pass a lame duck bill. If they lose the solid support of Gun owners, then they know they are thru.
Next thing you know, they might be funding the HHS regulation requiring all insurance plans to pay for contraception, abortifacients and abortions...
I hear you on this and don't understand why Boehner just doesn't allow Obamacare to be funded in next years budget, along with the DOJ/ATF, Homeland Insecurity, the EPA and some other renegade cabinet departments of zero's - it ticks me off as well. But I believe that the House GOP leadership fears backlash from Gun Owners/2nd Amendments supporters more than any other of their core constituencies as this time.
Yeah, every ammo-selling website has that special shopping section for "anonymous criminals wishing to stockpile ammunition."
Customers with valid credit cards and shipping addresses not welcome...
If they don't fear a backlash from 1st Amendment religious liberty supporters, we damn well should make them fear it.
Amen!!! Like I posted earlier, I don't understand why Boehner would not want to defund Obamascare - he has absolutely nothing to lose politically by doing this (other than being disinvited from a few Potomac cocktail parties) and can only gain by doing this. Like you said, maybe the House GOP leadership needs to fear the backlash from their supporters who support 1st Amendment Religious Liberties as much as they do Gun Owners/2nd Amendment Supporters!!!
Lautenberg is an old, braindead liberal who should have retired when he still had a functioning brain cell.
Maloney, whose husband was killed by a black racist, is an anti-gun fanatic who has lost most touch with reality.
They should be ignored. Not worth the trouble to deal with.
Any minute now, they will notice that anyone can purchase reloading equipment, lead, copper plate, priming caps and gunpowder, and produce ammunition anonymously and easily. Next they will want to "regulate" reloading equipment, lead, copper plate, priming caps and gunpowder. Then they will notice that anyone with a few household items can make their own gunpowder and mercury fulminate, that there are reloading presses and dyes all over the place, that it's possible to manufacture more at home, etc. Always, the magic formula for stopping rampaging shooters is one more law away.
He had to use 6,000 rounds and that's all he hit in a crowded theater? What a helaciously bad shot.
I haven't bought ammo in years, but now am going to get busy stocking up with lots of 7.62 to fill all of the high capacity magazines I bought in the early 90's when the domestic commies last tried this crap.
I imagine the corrosive Czech stuff in the spam cans is all gone, right?
what next ATF going to be selling guns and ammo in the US at a high profit?
funfan~ " Well if Harry is against it I guess it will go nowhere."
It will go nowhere in an election year ,... but hold onto your socks if the POTUS gets re-elcted. BOHICA
It will fail....
Ordering ammunition online is exponentially less anonymous than walking into a store and purchasing it. If I go into WalMart and purchase several hundred rounds of ammo with cash, you might have a grainy surveillance video of me if you somehow were led to the idea I had purchased ammo at WalMart in the first place. This type of purchase would be anonymous.
When I purchase ammunition online, however, I use a credit card and input a shipping address, all information that can already be followed up on by investigators without any additional legislation. Indeed, reports of the Colorado shooter indicate investigators used just such information to determine how much ammo Holmes purchased, and from where. It was the very type of internet purchase they are trying to stifle that allowed investigators to quickly determine the origin of Holmes' ammunition.
Why the legislation, then? Because once they've passed a law that deals with sensationalism ("anonymous" stockpiling of internet purchased ammunition), the donut is in place. The lawmakers then point to the hole left by the donut law - "oh no, now people are gong into local stores and buying ammunition anonymously!" - and they then attempt to close it by further legislating local ammunition purchases, i.e. copying one's driver license for ammo purchases at Wal Mart. They realize that they must move in these tiny steps to deceive the public.
These guys aren't stupid, and they know damned well that regulating internet purchases of ammunition is pointless in itself. It is the leftover hole that they are aiming for, the ability to come back later, once the wedge legislation is in place, to implement further regulation.
The sad thing here is that no one on our side is ever ready to propose legislation to move the ball forward when one of these tragedies occurs. It's always a defensive posture.
Try this instead: because the Aurora shooting, more people need to carry. Thus, we're proposing legislation to institute a $100 tax credit for pistol purchases. Or for CHP issuance.
