Cosmos capitalize on walks, beat Mill RiverMay 09,2014SOFTBALL
Springfield 8, Mill River 1
NORTH CLARENDON Oh those base on balls. Mill Rivers Carly Ward gave up four hits, three by KK Haskell, including two doubles, but it was her 10 walks that did in the Minutemen.
Sarah Locke got the win striking out nine over five innings for the Cosmos. Brooke Bove had the only hit for Mill River and scored its lone run on a passed ball. Mill River (3-6) plays at Otter Valley today where the Otters will be dedicating the field to Pattie Candon.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
I fear for you, man, seems like any who speak the TRUTH winds up dead, comitting "SUICIDE" with THREE gun shot wounds to the back of the head....WOW all these "Suicides"? I also read somewhere about a top Arkansas state election board official who "turned" up dead on primary election night in 2008. I'll see if I can dig it up, (no pun intended).
The 2016 cycle will be interesting, I hope we all live that long to see it....bwahahahahahaha

In part 2 of our series, we focus on the typess of criminals our super sleuth is fighting.
Crime Tracker 3's Marie Mortera has the story of a Las Vegas grandparent who managed to lead a double life until he was caught.
"He was a father, grandfather, he lived with his wife. He was just a regular family man," said ICE Special Agent Yashira Marcial in talking about Steven Byington.
Byington is now an inmate who initially didn't set off any alarms but, according to investigators, had a dark secret hidden on his computer.
"Horrible things, video of a toddler bound with rope, pretty disturbing images and videos," Marcial said.
He was caught with images that were traded over the Internet regularly.
News 3 was given a rare look at the computer investigation network housed in the Las Vegas Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.
The real-time program tracks known child pornographer's files and alerts authorities each and every time someone in southern Nevada decides to download.
Taking down Byington and cyber predators just like him, for computer analyst Kevin Leduc, means tracing their online trail.
The incriminating files included images of Byington's granddaughter, which were pulled off external hard drives. Back in the ICE office, Leduc has a few samples of what is recovered in a typical case.
Byington pleaded for his freedom. Court documents include a letter he wrote arguing that "there are no videos on my computer." He claimed the grand jury that indicted him was duped.
Marcial says testimony from his own family paints a much different story.
"She had taken video of herself and her boyfriend that was for her, she was minor and he went in and transferred that to his computer and she didn't know," Maricel said. "No, she didn't know her grandfather had that video or those pictures."
Byington was sentenced late last year for receipt and possession of child pornography. He was given a 14-year-sentence.
Maricel warns that people can never be too careful. Predators are always lurking--especially in cyber space.
"It's very disturbing to know these people are out there, neighbors, people you run into at the grocery, they're out there," she said.
Marcial urges vigilance from parents. Law enforcement teams, meanwhile, work hard to track illegal cybersex in neighborhoods throughout southern Nevada.

Chat with Jake Trotter
Welcome to SoonerNation! On Monday, writer Jake Trotter stops by to chat about everything Oklahoma.
Trotter joined ESPN.com in 2011 after four years with The Oklahoman covering OU and Big 12 football. Before that, he worked at the Austin American-Statesman and Middletown (Ohio) Journal. Trotter grew up in Oklahoma City and graduated from Washington & Lee (Va.) University.
Send your questions now and join Trotter Monday at 4 p.m. ET!
More Jake Trotter: Chats | Search | SoonerNation | E-mail Jake
Jake Trotter (4:00 PM)
We'll get started in a sec. Keep sending in your questions/comments
JakeJones (Okc)
Are the sooners still recruiting Nathan Starks?
Jake Trotter (4:03 PM)
Yes, still. But if he doesn't play football this season, that might change their outlook. OU is in on other running backs, notably Joe Mixon (Oakley, Calif./Freedo)
James (Dallas)
There is a rumor that an OU OL got hurt a few days ago. Do you know anything about this? Also, when can we expect Josiah St. John to arrive on campus?
Jake Trotter (4:04 PM)
Adam Shead is coming back from a fractured heel, which I reported on a few days ago on our forum. Maybe that's who you're referring to? St. John should be here sometime this month.
Rob (Tulsa)
I'm sick of asking about Quincey Russell probably as much as you are of answering questions about him. So this is the last time i'll do it. Do you know when Quincey Russell status to play at OU will be resolved? Is there is even a timetable for such a resolution?
Jake Trotter (4:04 PM)
No, no and no.
James (Dallas)
According to Jason Kersey, Lacolton Bester is one of OU's starting WR. First, is this true? Second, is this simply due to his blocking skills or is he performed better all around. Jason all seemed to indicate that Durron Neal is currently ahead of Metoyer in the depth chart. Do you agree?
Jake Trotter (4:06 PM)
Jason is right. If the season started today, Bester would be starting alongside Shep/Saunders. Will that still be the case in September? Who knows. Neal and Metoyer are pretty close. I would call them tied, more than one over the other.
Ray (OKC)
Your breakout players for next year (1 offense, 1 defense)
Jake Trotter (4:07 PM)
Gabe Lynn and... OK, just kidding. How about Hatari Byrd on defense, and Keith Ford (in limited action) on offense?
Dan Ruffo (Norwich, CT)
Based on what I've read, I think I'm alot more optimistic about OU football in 2013 than most. Am I crazy?
Jake Trotter (4:07 PM)
On this chat, you would be considered so.
Ross (Keller, Texas)
Jake how good do you think Jordan phillips, Jordan Wade and Charles Tapper will be this year. They were all pretty good recruits and appear to have all the tools. The DT's we lost were average at best so I would think that these new guys can play at least at that level if not better.
Jake Trotter (4:08 PM)
Well, Tapper is a DE, first of all. Phillips is the only DT, to me, that COULD be an All-Big 12 performer this season. If Wade gives them quality snaps, I think OU would be happy. So should you. Anything more is asking too much.
Isaac (Appleton WI)
which linebackers does Oklahoma end up landing Tay Evans, Christian Sam, Dakota Allen
Jake Trotter (4:10 PM)
Could land all three of them, but Evans seems most likely.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, really liked the Roy Finch tier, I laughed at that one, then I realized its not funny that he doesnt get any carries. He needs at least 8-10 touches a game.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, with the Hatari hype already building when does he supplant #9?
Jake Trotter (4:10 PM)
Could be early in the season. Byrd is the guy everyone is talking about this summer, similar to what I heard last summer with Sterling Shepard.
matt (texas)
You never talk about Tim Kish OR Gabe Lynn, whats going on with those guys?
Jake Trotter (4:11 PM)
I know, never.
Aaron (Hickory, NC)
What are the chances 2013 recruit Keith Ford will redshirt the 2013 season
Jake Trotter (4:11 PM)
60-40 he plays. He won't play much. But if OU believes he's the back of the future, beginning in 2014, they'll want to get him at least a little taste of the field so he'll be ready.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, any word on how Stanvon and Hatari are making noise? Is it conditioning, speed, ball skills, etc...?
Jake Trotter (4:12 PM)
Showing up to things early, asking a lot of questions... a lot of what has impressed people has been intangible related.
JakeJones (Okc)
If you give a football player cab money is that considered an extra benefit by the NCAA, and they can be suspended?
Jake Trotter (4:13 PM)
If you're a fan of the school where the player resides, yes. At the same time, you might help that player avoid a DUI...
Brandon (SLC)
How real is the commitment to the running game going to be in 2013? We're hearing a lot about running more, dual threat QBs, Chris Ault, etc. Am I wrong to be a bit skeptical? I am actually agnostic about whether this is a good thing or not, but I get the sense that Heupel as an OC is always going to prefer what the Sooners were doing in 2011 and 2012.
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
None of these QBs can fling it around the way Sam and Landry could. They're going to HAVE to run the ball more. They have no choice.
Travis (Washington, DC)
What player or players should we keep an eye on to have a breakout season and really help the defense? Aaron Colvin goes without saying, but is it Cortez, Nelson or a few others?
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
Frank Shannon. Dude made a ton of plays out there when he got a chance last season.
JakeJones (Okc)
Do you think a 1 game suspension for Ndulue? That is 2 players in 2 months ... Can we make norman a dry city?
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
What fun would that be?
JakeJones (Okc)
So it looks like Huggins is going to Trinity Valley Community College, Ndulue could be suspended, and Quincy Russell is MIA. Are there any other DE's they can fatten up and throw in the Tackle spot?
Jake Trotter (4:15 PM)
Charles Tapper would be next in line, I think. Hopefully it won't come to that.
Landry Jones (Pitt, PA)
Are you a Steelers fan now?
Jake Trotter (4:15 PM)
Uh, no
Travis (DC)
Lets play a little game of over/under...Roy Finch total touches per game (5) and Trey Millard total touches per game (5).
Jake Trotter (4:15 PM)
Under, Over
jared (mansfield)
who on ou's coaching staff would you give the title of best recruiter too? I would certainly be choosing between norvell, gundy, and heupel
Jake Trotter (4:16 PM)
Norvell or Gundy.
Isaac (Appleton WI)
How many D line recruits do we end up getting this year
Jake Trotter (4:16 PM)
They're hoping to land at least 3.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, whats the latest Q...... oh forget it. When is Tay Evans going to make it to OU? And does he commit when he does?
Jake Trotter (4:16 PM)
Next person that mentions Quincy Russell is banned from the chat for a week.
Jake Trotter (4:17 PM)
And Evans should be visiting soon. He won't commit until after seeing the campus again.
Dingo (Granite)
Any chance we will jump significantly in the recruiting rankings?
Jake Trotter (4:18 PM)
Top 10 seems out of reach, IMO, but anything is possible.
matt (texas)
Tim Kish! Gabe Lynn!
Jake Trotter (4:18 PM)
Mark (Tulsa)
Here Jake I'll just get this out of the way: Tim Kish blah blah blah...
Jake Trotter (4:18 PM)
This is dissembling quickly...
Auto (Naptown)
idk if my question went through..whos bestt four dEnds? and whos having a good summer workout (dEnds)
Jake Trotter (4:20 PM)
Grissom, Tapper, Onouha, and either Ward/Dimon
larry (new york)
how is the quaterback battle shaping up?
Jake Trotter (4:21 PM)
Bell's job to lose, which could very well happen against a tough early schedule. KT would get the next shot, with Knight looming after that.
Ross (Keller, TX)
I have never been a real Brennan Clay fan although he seems to be a great guy. I would think that having Durron Neal on kickoffs and Jalen Saunders instead of Finch would be OU's best combo. I would also think that keith Ford and Alex Ross would bring more to the running game than Clay or Finch.
Jake Trotter (4:21 PM)
They would never put Saunders on KR. Afraid of him getting hurt. He only weighs 160. Clay/Finch were very good on KR last year... why change?
Jeff (Dallas)
Do they release any testing numbers from summer workouts?
Jake Trotter (4:21 PM)
jared (mansfield)
it would be pretty awesome to see the offense look reminiscent of Jason white and Quentin griffin running all over the place in early 2001... sans the exploding knees
Jake Trotter (4:22 PM)
Yeah, sans that.
Brandon (SLC)
Perhaps not - but it is worth noting that Landry threw 449 passes as a redshirt freshman in 2009 with no game experience at all coming into the year and did so in the equivalent of 11 games. Blake Bell had all the pedigree Landry did coming out of HS and now has the benefit of two additional years in the system, plus a line that has proven far better at pass blocking than run blocking. If OU would throw with that volume with Landry, I am unsure why they wouldn't with Bell.
Jake Trotter (4:23 PM)
The reason they threw so much in '09 was because the o-line was a total wreck. They couldn't run the ball at all. Only chance was to go 4-5 wide and hope for the best.
Travis (DC)
So you think Trey Millard is going to get over 5 touches per game? What has you believe this? Is it because Stoops said so? And it is absolutely disgusting that Roy Finch doesn't get more offensive plays. I guess I agree with the coaching staff - explosive players are a bad thing.
Jake Trotter (4:24 PM)
I do. Because if he got less than 5, everyone on the offensive staff would be deserving of a pink slip.
Isaac (Appleton WI)
Since we got Josh W. what are the chances that we get Jalin and Marquise
Jake Trotter (4:24 PM)
I'm not on a first name basis with any of these guys
Bob (NoPantsville)
I don't remember Jason White playing in 2001...
Jake Trotter (4:25 PM)
Came in during the Texas game. Got hurt a couple weeks later at Nebraska.
Soonerpeace (Norman)
Will OU really change their offense as word is leaking out recently that we aren't very good throwing?
Jake Trotter (4:26 PM)
Like I said earlier, they have to change the offense. They guys can't fling it around the way Sam, Landry could. They can run, though, and that will have to be utilized.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
What is your Favorite NFL Team?
Jake Trotter (4:26 PM)
Whoever is on my fantasy roster.
Auto (Naptown)
Nelson was a big juco signee last season..has he been forgotten about?
Jake Trotter (4:26 PM)
Yes... and was he really that big?
Driver (Norman)
I'm sure Chuka gets the one game suspension which is common for similar infractions...how many days of 6am stadium steps punishment do you think he gets...30 days?
Jake Trotter (4:27 PM)
He should just be glad Port Robinson still isn't around.
jared (mansfield)
why is word leaking out that we aren't very good at throwing when we have the spring game as evidence that bbell is very confident in his arm and receivers?? i'm lost...
Jake Trotter (4:28 PM)
I've heard the QBs have done fine this summer, for what it's worth. True test will come in Sept.
Travis (DC)
More catches this season - Shepherd or the combination of Neal and Metoyer?
Jake Trotter (4:28 PM)
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, what do you think OU should realistically aim for in PPG allowed? I'm thinking 22 ppg would be great(3.5 ppg better then '12)
Jake Trotter (4:29 PM)
Given what's returning, I think that's a reasonable goal.
Michael (Washington)
I'll try to help right the ship a bit ... Any chance these top-flight receiver recruits get a look at the talent at running back and the slower-paced offense and look elsewhere?
Jake Trotter (4:29 PM)
Haven't so far
Mack Brown (Austin)
For the sake of my job, can you hold it under 50 points on us this season?
Jake Trotter (4:29 PM)
If that happened AGAIN, Mack might get fired on the spot
Benjamin (Washington, DC)
How does it feel that the 2015 4-star O-linemen comes from our high school? Casady and sports, should have no problem qualifying academically.
Jake Trotter (4:30 PM)
Feels good.
Michael (Washington)
Does counting heavily on a defensive lineman you cannot locate on July 1 seem like a good idea?
Jake Trotter (4:30 PM)
I've seen better ideas
jared (mansfield)
in the big 12 that is asking a heckuva a lot from young blood
Jake Trotter (4:30 PM)
Tony (Richmond, CA)
How critical is it for the Sooners to land a stout defensive line class with playmakers that actually qualifyand make it on campus given the current roster and attrition of the 2013 class?
Jake Trotter (4:31 PM)
Jeff (Dallas)
Issac is referring to Wariboko, Barnett and Overton - '15ers
Jake Trotter (4:31 PM)
Right, I was just giving him a hard time.
Isaac (Appleton WI)
Hey Jake, which recruit does Oklahoma have the best chance of landing Michiah Quick, Mark Andrews, Joe Mixon
Jake Trotter (4:31 PM)
I feel like Quick might be by a slight margin
jay (oklahoma)
Is 2014 a make or break year for us? We seem stagnant as a program, and could go up or down. 2014 should be a good year, with a lot of young talent that will have experience from 2013.
Jake Trotter (4:32 PM)
The wrong way to phrase it. The question is, can OU reverse the trend of staleness that's enveloped the program (whether it's in one season or three)?
Bob (NoPantsville)
Why are we all worked up about DTs when Mike just wants to play 8 or 9 DBs?
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
He likes DTs. LBs, not so much.
Jeff (OKC)
With the DT situation being inexperienced and thin, how much playing time to you see TFr Charles Walker and Mathew Romar receiving?
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
Tony (Richmond, CA)
RIP Jim Kelly, if you're not too young to remember him from Enter the Dragon.
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
Too young
Bob Stoops (Norman, OK)
Will my Sooners look like Baylor in a few years if we don't get things turned around recruiting wise on defense? Am I in trouble if it does?
Jake Trotter (4:35 PM)
You know the chat has taken a turn for the worse when questions like this start popping up
jay (oklahoma)
well jake, what do you feel the answer to that question is, will we reverse the staleness?
Jake Trotter (4:36 PM)
Would take competing for a national title past October, and winning some key recruiting battles over SEC programs in the offseason. I don't see the former happening this year, and the latter hasn't really happened in awhile, either.
jared (mansfield)
has sam grant shown anything else this summer since standing out (probably not that hard to do) from the other tight ends in the spring game?
Jake Trotter (4:37 PM)
Hard to really qualify, since he's a blocking tight end, and there are no padded workouts during the summer. But you're right, Sam stood out some in the spring. He could help.
Kenny Powers (Norman)
Have you heard anything from the players about the new defensive scheme? I heard they are switching to attacking and less reading of play as it develops...do the players like the new scheme?
Jake Trotter (4:37 PM)
Players love the new scheme. Think the fans will, too.
Aaron (Broomfield, CO)
What is the deal with Striker? I haven't really heard to much from you guys about him being in the LB depth chart. There was a lot of praise for him last year as an up-and-comer.
Jake Trotter (4:38 PM)
Still raw. He has the tools. But he's been slow to pick up the schemes. Probably a year away.
Mari IL [via mobile]
I knew the qb alabama got was from oklahoma but i didnt know he was from norman how crushed was stoops
Jake Trotter (4:38 PM)
Eh, OU got their guy in Justice Hansen
Ben (Tulsa )
Have the TE really improved that much since last year or does Stoops intend to include them in the offense simply to give Bell an easy throwing option?
Jake Trotter (4:38 PM)
Both, they hope
Bob (NoPantsville)
The Super Bowl QB from the Bills was in Enter the Dragon!?
Jake Trotter (4:39 PM)
Different Jim Kelly
jared (mansfield)
on a tangent from ou fball, what do you make of the first round pick from the okc thunder? couldn't they have come away with a higher impact big man with pick 12?
Jake Trotter (4:40 PM)
No, not at 12. They made the best possible pick they could have made at 12. People were disappointed they weren't able to move up and get an Oladipo. Steven Adams is a year or two away from really helping.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Mari, Cornwell wasnt an Okie only moved to OK recently, he was a Florida then Nebraska kid
Jake Trotter (4:40 PM)
Derrick S (Houston, TX)
Jake, any word on the development of Taylor McNamara? He is touted as a legit pass catching TE but looked shaky in the spring game?
Jake Trotter (4:41 PM)
Think that was indicative of the spring for him. Not sure how much he's going to help this year. Maybe the switch will flip. I don't know, though.
Keith (Seattle, WA)
Why have the Sooners stuggled recruiting the top defensive talent they've targeted recently in your opinion?
Jake Trotter (4:41 PM)
Top defensive talent prefers to go to a league where they actually play defense.
JakeJones (Okc)
If OU loses 1 of thier first 3 games ... Which one would shock you?
Jake Trotter (4:42 PM)
Monroe would be a stunner.
Travis (DC)
I think it was last year that Stoops made a statement about all the late games OU has. Can we expect more day games this year or does it all come down to TV deals?
Jake Trotter (4:42 PM)
The albatross of being a good TV draw.
jay (oklahoma)
ULM is a pretty good football team. We had better play better vs them than we did vs utah state and UTEP, or we will start 0-1.
Jake Trotter (4:43 PM)
Monroe would smoke Utah State or UTEP, so your point is well taken.
Driver (Norman)
Very deflated about the Thunder draft...will be a 60 win team that gets bumped in 2nd round of playoffs every year. Any chance Stoops can make a trade for Kendrick Perkins and put him at DT for the next season? Could solve both OU and the Thunders problems at the same time
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
Not sure Perkins' knees would hold up
matt (texas)
If we only average 22 ppg in conference play we'll be this years WVU
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
He was talking about PPG ALLOWED, not scored
Frank (California )
How long is Adam Shead suppose to be sidelined with his foot injury?
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
Think he's back already, or close to it
Curious Fan (Here)
How is Torrea Peterson doing? Do you think he's finally turned the corner and can make an impact this year?
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
Yes, seems like he has. He could be a rotation player.
soonerfandave84 (OK)
shout out for Bonemans recruiting reports...
Jake Trotter (4:45 PM)
Here, here
jared (mansfield)
i'm agreeing with these statement, ulm's qb is a legitimate problem for the fresh defensive line. does mike blitz him or hold off and beat them with coverage?
Jake Trotter (4:45 PM)
They're talking like they're going to blitz more
Derrin (Plano, TX)
Should your Thunder have drafted a shooter instead of a big man?
Jake Trotter (4:46 PM)
At 12, they did the best they could. Nobody else worth taking there.
Frank (California )
How big of an advantage is it to have bedenbaough in next years match up with West Virginia?
Jake Trotter (4:46 PM)
Couldn't hurt.
jared (mansfield)
the thunder have shooters, the playoffs showed that they need a bigger presence in the paint
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
Yeah, but K-Mart is probably gone
Michael (Washington)
If OU underperformed the way Texas has in recent years, would there be more or less pressure on Bob and the program?
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
More. A lot more.
jay (oklahoma)
jake, nostalgia question here. Do we beat boise state with bomar at QB in 06? Another sooner fan and I had a discussion, and he believed thompson was the better QB, because thompsons 2006 stats were better than bomars 2005 stats(neglecting the fact that bomar was the starter, and thompson switched positions...)
Jake Trotter (4:48 PM)
I say no. OU moved the ball pretty well in that game. And Bomar would have done the same thing Thompson did, which was hand off to AD.
Dan Ruffo (Norwich, CT)
I don't understand the concerns about Blake Bell. I think he's gonna be very good. And, for all those "stargazers", he was a 5 star high school QB, and he's a big, strong kid with a strong arm. Why is there any doubt about him?
Jake Trotter (4:49 PM)
Because he's never played. He may be great. We just don't know at this point.
Frank (California )
With Shead nursing and injury, who do you see starting? Diante Savage perhaps?
Jake Trotter (4:49 PM)
Shead is fine now, but Savage would probably be plan B
Kevin (Reno, NV)
How do you feel about the Sooners new baseball coach? Is he an upgrade, about the same, or a step back?
Jake Trotter (4:50 PM)
I think he'll mesh better than Sunny did. Will he win as many games, though?
Ross (Keller, TX)
Jake do you feel that OU's staff is more conservative when it comes to what players get on the field? It seems like other programs like OSU or Baylor put their best athletes on the field even though they might not be the most experienced or are not the best practice players.
Jake Trotter (4:51 PM)
I understand why it seems that way to you. But I remember the 2009 Bedlam game, when Mike Gundy continued to play a hurt Zac Robinson with Brandon Weeden sitting on the sideline. OSU got like 4 first downs the entire game, and Gundy never made a switch. So other programs can get conservative with personnel too.
Derrick S (Houston, TX)
Jake, do you think any of the DEs this year will present a strong pass rush threat? Grisham is a great athelete, but still seems to be learning how to play the position. What about Mike Onauha? Sounds like another atheletic guy, but does that translate to production this year?
Jake Trotter (4:52 PM)
It won't be Ronnell/Frank Alexander, but there is some athleticism there. I think they could get after the passer some.
Boris (Texas)
Do you think Stacy McGee can have an impact in the NFL?
Jake Trotter (4:52 PM)
Joe (Dallas )
Who plays more next season at DE: Lindley, Chaz, or the TFr Ward, Dimon and Okornwu?
Jake Trotter (4:53 PM)
Ward or Dimon
Keith (Seattle, WA)
HAHA!!! Can you tell us how you really feel about Stacy McGee's pro potential?
Jake Trotter (4:53 PM)
Thought I just did
jared (mansfield)
let's try to gaze into a crystal ball for a second: hatari is receiving about the same kind of hype TJ had in the summer of 2010, so do you think he'll have a better/same/worse career at OU than the undrafted early exiter?
Jake Trotter (4:54 PM)
I think there are a lot of similarities there
Curious Fan (Here)
I'm a little confused about Eric Striker. If he's got all the tools and OU wants to play a more attacking style of defense, how can you not put him out there just to let him wreak havoc on the opposing QB? If it's less reading of a play and more attacking, that's what Striker excels at.
Jake Trotter (4:54 PM)
Hard to play a LB who gets confused about where he's supposed to be.
James Harden (Houston, TX)
And who was a consistent shooter other than Durant for OKC? Martin was hit or miss? It's so nice here in Houston.
Jake Trotter (4:54 PM)
Yeah, whatever
Joe (Dallas )
Do you think Rahad Favors is big enough to give affective DT reps?
Jake Trotter (4:55 PM)
Yeah, I think he helps.
Isaac (Appleton WI)
When do you expect Steven Parker to commit
Jake Trotter (4:55 PM)
Sounds like it might be awhile. He wants to see some different campuses before making a decision. Still like OU here, though.
Brent (Arlington )
Tougher game next season, ND, OSU, UT? I think it is Texas. We have a bye before ND and OSU and we play UT after ND and TCU.
Jake Trotter (4:56 PM)
OSU. Best team on OU's schedule and the game is on the road.
Andrew (OKC)
Will Drew Allen start at Syracuse this fall?
Jake Trotter (4:56 PM)

Hey good buddy! My good friend Cal and I were eating some delicious Mazzios pizza and began to wonder, what do you think are the odds that OU makes it to a BCS game. I'm no homer but my pokes are pretty good.
Jake Trotter (4:57 PM)
Not sure the Big 12 gets an at-large berth this year, so that would require a conference title. 20-30 percent?
Brent (Arlington )
Who Are the top 3 qbs in the conference?
Jake Trotter (4:58 PM)
I have no idea. Anyone who says they do is just guessing, since only a couple of them have played.
jared (mansfield)
speaking of reshod favors, I have an interesting thought on him. Is it a bad sign that favors broke through our o-line on multiple occasions in the spring game or is it just a sign that he is very good at that spot?
Jake Trotter (4:58 PM)
One thing I'm not worried about is the o-line's pass protecting
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Who has a bigger 2013 season, Ryan Broyles or Kenny Stills?
Jake Trotter (4:58 PM)
Broyles if he's healthy
soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jay thats a trick question, with Bomar OU probably plays tOSU for the NC.
Jake Trotter (4:59 PM)
Yeah, I'll have to respectfully disagree on that one

text: Stolen Spirit Simon Godfrey Stolen Spirit started writing New Wave, Indie Pop material in 2006 and has produced 3 Albums that encapsulate the styles and vibes of the Post Punk New Wave movement back in the late seventies early eighties Influences come from a mixed bag of Indie Pop,Post Punk, Synthpop and New Wave. Some of these influences can be heard across the range of Albums. Symun of Stolen Spirit plays all instrument parts, producers, mix and masters all of Stolen Spirit material and has been producing material even at the early age of fifteen. Each album released gives a outside view of an inside emotion, with which each song tells a separate story in the way either from a personal experience or from experience from others. Stolen Spirit Discography includes the Albums: Love Resurrection 2009 Hidden Empathy 2010 Times Are Changing 2011 Never Wanted This! 2012 And now has a new release which is to be available in stores in June 2012 Never Wanted This!, this will be Stolen Spirit's 4th release and features songs called Ghost Inside Of You and SAD (swords and dagger). This album is a journey of self realization with the turmoil of leaving someone you love and then realising that the one you love is actually the person you want to be with. The Songs from the new Album have punchy Brass ensembles, carefully crafted riffs with the ambience of Post Punk, New Wave vibes. If asked 'What does the new album sound like' I would say, The Cure meets Psychedelic furs, it's a mix that works. Everyone has a time in their life when they may never know what direction to take but committing to make a change and this is what the new album is about. 2 singles from the new album are due to be released in May 2012.

One of our CreakyJoints members wrote to me this week to let me know that she disagreed with a column I wrote.
I thought that was great news.
It's not that I like the feeling that something I wrote doesn't work for somebody, but I love the feeling that someone has enough spark to push back and state what is true for her.
That's exactly the spirit we want to cultivate in our CreakyJoints community.
It can be very hard to do. Living with pain and chronic physical issues drain your energy. It often seems easier to just go along, and do what everyone else tells you is good for you. Or just go along, feeling alone, with the sense that nobody gets what is like to live in your body, with your story.
To cultivate your personal inner compass, and to speak your mind can take effort that you may not feel you have.
But when you do speak out – to a columnist, or a doctor, or a family member or friend about what is true for you, you connect with the strength and power that is yours alone.
You don't have to go along and try to agree with things that aren't right for you – whether it is a medication, or a prescription for how to live your life. You don't have to care for yourself or manage your illness like everyone else does.
It is important to say no – to say – that doesn't work for me, and to listen to what really does.
You are not a composite person, or a composite patient. Your life, your body and your illness are unique and deserve specific description and attention.
Here at CreakyJoints we offer a number of perspectives on living with RA and other forms of autoimmune illness. We hope that these perspectives offer you something, but we know that sometimes they may not fit your story at all.
We value each story, and each way that you find – not just to cope (though some days, coping is a huge victory), but to thrive – as this community does in many many ways.
We celebrate your stories, and also want to stand with you when it all feels like too much and celebrating is out of reach.
In order for that to happen, your work is to keep being true to what is real for you, what works for you, and let us know what is most helpful.
Keep speaking out – to us, to legislators, to your pharmacist and physician, and in your circles of community. It makes you stronger – and that strengthens all of us.
Thank you for reading and for commenting, and for living your lives with such grace and passion.

My dd went to the doctor yesterday for her 3 month checkup she was 3 months on Dec 1st and she is in the 95th percentile for weight and 25- 50 for height. �The doc got me a little concerned saying I should make her wait longer to eat if she cries let her cry and to wait a while before I feed her.. I do not want her to be overweight any other babies in the 95th percentile? �She wakes up once a night to eat around 3 and she told me to basically let her cry and not feed her so in turn she can self soothe herself and learn to sleep through the night...
95 percentile and concerned
To me (and I'm not a Dr.), I feel like all babies grow at different rates. Maybe she's in the middle of a plump spurt and will lengthen out too. I don't think you should worry right now, you have a tiny baby who needs to grow and to grow, needs to eat. My LO is a butterball...I don't know what she weighs right now, but I'm guessing she'll be up there in the percentiles too.
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands!
I think she is just perfect....but I am her mommy so
Also, your LO is GORGEOUS!
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands!
Happily Married since 5/18/2007 :o)
*~*Olivia Reese born Sept. 1, 2009, 7pds 5 oz, 19in long, at 36wks 1day. Reflux baby*~* silver (o)(o).
*~*Owen William born Sept. 27th 2011. 9 lbs 3 oz 21.5 in long, at 38 wks 1 day. MSPI & reflux baby*~*
First consider her height percentage. If she is 90 percentile height the weight is fine. Also, take my daughter for example. She was 90 percentile weight and 50 percentile height up to age 1. My doctor (thank GOD for her) is not a big worrier (sp?) and never stressed me out about it or other little things others would. Needless to say once she started running around she got to a healthy weight.
I can't beleive the doc is concerned she weighs too much! They will lose weight once they become mobile- feed your baby when she is hungry.
ETA: I would be finding a new ped.
Wow, I say she is a baby and she knows if she is hungr or not. Things will even out.

Nomad Enters the Scene
The Nomad Portable target made by new manufacturer dgNomad became PDGA approved at the Basic level on 5-31-2012. Note that target has no basket. You hole out by striking (or landing in) the plastic chain assembly.
"The new NOMAD, an ultralight pole-style target developed in order to help introduce the younger crowd to disc golf, will ultimately be useful to players of all ages. Not only can the kids haul them around on bikes to play at the corner lot, but your local club now has the ability to host a tournament anywhere they choose, as an entire 18 hole set only weighs about 50 pounds and fits in a backpack." — dgNomad

Santiago – Spain's Eosol Energy plans to build a $615.9 million solar energy project in Tocopilla, a town in northern Chile.
The project will have generating capacity of 192.6 MW, the company said in an environmental impact statement.
Power produced at the solar energy park will be sold to the Norte Grande Interconnected System, which supplies northern Chile.
The region is home to the Atacama desert and extensive mining operations.
"The project seeks to leverage the renewable resources in the area for the production of clean energy, helping reduce power generation from the current conventional polluting sources," Eosol Energy said in its filing with environmental regulators.
Eosol Energy has completed solar energy projects in Spain, France and Mexico.

Canopy walkway
Canopy walkways - also called canopy walks, treetop walks or treetop walkways - provide pedestrian access to the forest canopy. Early walkways consisted of bridges between trees in the canopy of a forest; mostly linked up with platforms inside or around the trees. They were originally intended as access to the upper regions of ancient forests for scientists conducting canopy research. Eventually, because they provided only limited, one-dimensional access to the trees, they were abandoned for canopy cranes. Today they serve as ecotourism attractions in places such as Dhlinza Forest, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia, Sedim River, Kulim and Kakum National Park, Ghana.
The Kendeda Canopy Walk in Atlanta, Georgia, USA is a more recent variation that provides visitors with the ability to move through a 180-metre-long (600 ft) section of urban forest at an elevation of 12 metres (40 ft). The walkway construction is a somewhat unusual reverse suspension design.
The first such canopy walkway constructed in Australia can be found in Lamington National Park at O'reilly's Rainforest, Queensland. Built in 1988 it is 180 metres (590 ft) in length and constructed using 9 small suspension bridges. At its highest point it reaches 34 metres (110 ft) above ground level. [1]

Obviously we're limited this to 170 division because that's where all the guys you called out compete.
What else is there @ 170? There are no flashy guys in that division.
The champion is a wrestler primarily who will lie on any striker that comes at him for 5 rounds and use underpowered but quite accurate striking to touch up ground fighters for 5 rounds.
We have Condit, who it's hard to classify since he's been a killer his whole career, but after his last fight, who knows what to expect from him?
We had Diaz who is suspended and really the only interesting fighter @ 170.
Then we have a bunch of guys Koscheck, T. Silva, Fitch, Shields, Hardy who all got destroyed by the champion at least once each and will likely never get another title shot.
Then we have a sea of wrestlers because anyone without the wrestling credentials to think they can deal with GSP have left the division.
You need a wrestling base to even have a hope of beating GSP, but if you come at him with wrestling he just jabs you to death instead.
These guys you're calling out all have the correct style to beat GSP as he can't just lie on them, and if he stands with them he runs the risk of eating the ONE BIG PUNCH that the Serra fight proved is all that's needed.
Strikers have tried @ 170 and they get laid on by either Kos, Fitch or GSP depending how high they work their way up and can't take the title.
The only way to do it is to be able to stuff the takedown and land the big punch. GSP is too careful to fall for anything else.
I just don't see what other option there is @ 170 than relying on good wrestling and one shot KO power to have a (slim) hope of even beating GSP.
You sound a lot like me when Sean Sherk was coming up at LW and everyone was trying to tell me how awesome he was, when I could recognize his great guard passing and top control, but just found him incredibly boring. The point being, he TRIED to be exciting and mix it up a bit and he got KTFO'd for his troubles. Everyone has styles they find boring, but in this case, you're calling out the wrong guys.
You want more exciting guys at WW? Blame GSP. He cleared out the division. Or blame Condit, he stopped the one guy who probably could have beat GSP by exploiting refereeing/judging ignorance to cheat him out of a title shot (I'm still waiting for the warning, point reduction and disqualification for 'timidity' that Condit should have suffered in that fight, as if you read the unified rules, that is a foul, not just 'good game planning).
I don't see what's hard to understand about my argument. I don't like generic wrestle-boxers who aren't really elite in any area of mixed martial arts. It bores me. There is no argument here, I just think that they suck and I'm not interested in watching many of them fight.
Who says wrestle-boxers are the answer to GSP? Kos is one of the better wrestle-boxers in the division and he got molested with a jab for five rounds.
All of these wrestle-boxer drones simply aren't as technical as GSP standing and aren't as good at wrestling as him (in an MMA scenario).
The one type of opponent we haven't seen GSP deal with is an elite striker with a sick ground game. BJ Penn you say. One of the best top games in the sport, no doubt, but his bottom games leave a lot to be desired.
Guys like Carlos Condit, Erick Silva, Nick Diaz I feel are the most stylistically threatening opponents for GSP, not the influx of wrestle-boxers who aren't better than GSP in any actual area. You need guys who are better than GSP in two areas. The striking and BJJ, the guys I mentioned earlier fit that mould. I think GSP has proved time and time again in his career that wrestlers are not the answer.

This presents a phase of the subject that is glossed over in the majority of books on x-rays. It is mainly a treatise on x-ray measurements and the engineering fundamentals concerned with the production of x-rays and therefore will be found to be of the utmost practical value to those who are engaged in the technical phases of x-ray work. A considerable portion of the book covers the physical measurements of currents, of wavelengths, of energy and of ionization. A chapter on the biologic measurement of x-rays is especially illuminating and the physician specialist in roentgen therapy will find much that is rational from the practical point of view. It will give him satisfactory reasons for the results or lack of results that are obtained in everyday roentgen therapy. The authors discount the biologic measurements and present a strong case in favor of the scientific ionization method of measuring x-ray

Treat yourself to this modern year round lake house with all the comforts of home -- maybe even more! Just steps from a private Lake Erie beach, we are the second house from the lake, on a quiet road -- closer to the lake than some lakefront homes. Located in North East, PA, we are in the heart of Lake Erie Wine Country and Steelhead Alley. Adults love our decor, furnishings and generously supplied house. Children are delighted here.
We are 18 miles east of downtown Erie in North East, PA. You'll notice a slower pace of life and a small town atmosphere including:
-- miles of Lake Erie coast, wineries, farm stands, vineyards
-- private Woodmere Beach just one house away
-- 11 wineries within 8 miles, open year round
-- quaint town with shops, spas, restaurants, grocery and drug stores just 3 miles
-- the iconic Freeport Restaurant just 1.25 miles
-- world-class fishing: steelhead, bass, walleye, perch, lake trout.
Like us on Facebook - "Clement's Lake Erie Cottages" for latest offers, events and recommendations for things to do. Please check my Facebook page BEFORE you reserve for latest offers and savings suggestions or call me directly at 814-566-4722.
Summer is a popular time for families who come to enjoy Lake Erie beaches and local attractions such as Waldameer Amusement Park & Water World, Presque Isle State Park, Scallywags Pirate Ship, Splash Lagoon Water Park, Peek n Peak Adventure Course and Zip Lines, and the Erie Zoo. See more recommendations at the bottom of this listing.
We are in the heart of Lake Erie Wine Country where wineries are open year round. Bella Day Spa is 3 miles away where you can reserve the party room and bring food and beverages for your ladies to meet up between spa appointments. Ask me about private wine glass painting classes (in-home), spa treatments (in-home) and for other ideas for your weekend.
Fishermen and guided fishing tours are welcomed. Fishing here is fantastic nearly all year. Late fall and winter fishing for steelhead is world class and we are right between 16 Mile Creek (1.25 miles) & 20 Mile Creeks (1.75 miles), but also close enough to Walnut Creek (27 miles) and Elk Creek (34 miles) -- you can drive to where the fish are hitting. Bring your boat and launch from the North East Marina, 1.4 miles. My brothers are part of a competitive fishing team here. Ask me for Lake Erie fishing charter recommendations or guide recommendations for stream fishing.
Larger groups please see our other listing #336468. We have two vacation rentals on the same street -- just 3 homes apart. Rent BOTH homes to accommodate larger groups. Wonderful lodging for wedding guests. If my calendars are booked for the dates you need, ask me for other recommendations. I am happy to help.
Main Floor: living area, kitchen, eating area, 3 bedrooms (Q, F, 2T) and bathroom with shower/tub unit. We also provide a Queen air mattress with electric blower for inflation.
The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless appliances, large Thermador refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, microwave, Keurig and carafe coffee makers, dishwasher, garbage disposal, blender, mixer, crockpot, cookware, dishes, utensils.
Second Floor Loft: Living area equipped with 42" plasma TV, Blue-ray Disc player, cable channels, comfy sectional sofa, board games and toys. We have lake views from the loft.
Other Features:
- completely renovated home
- professionally decorated
- central air conditioning - a must for hot summer nights
- central heat - warm and cozy in the winter; fully insulated home- not drafty like older cottages. Feel free to set the thermostat to your comfort level.
- ample city water (no well water or low supply)
- public sewer (no septic issues)
- full size washer and dryer are provided in the garage. Washer is 'winterized' from November through April, and cannot be used during those months.
- concrete driveway parking can accommodate up to 4 cars or a boat -- or a game of pick-up basketball - hoop provided in driveway
The home uniquely sits on 2 lots with large grassy areas for playing yard games. Kids love the tree swing. The backyard is private... only the yard and the creek about 15 feet down. We provide a metal fire pit in the backyard or you can enjoy a small camp fire at the beach. Driftwood from the beach is plentiful for a beach fire or the fire pit (no need to bring your own wood).
- very private, quiet, dead end road with only 12 homes
- no thru traffic
- very peaceful
- easy beach access
- family environment; not a party neighborhood
- loud parties not welcome here
- private beach for residents/guests only
- we are 1 house away from the beach entrance - closer to beach and easier access than some lakefront homes = great value!
-- our road runs nearly perpendicular to beach
-- easy walkable beach access (no bluff/cliff/staircase)
- easy access to the beach is unique for the area and important to consider for taking beach chairs, coolers and small watercraft to the beach
- natural Lake Erie shoreline with stones, sand, driftwood (please see photos here and on my other listing #336468). Beach shoes recommended.
Walk on the shore, look for beach glass and roast marshmallows at the beach as you take in beautiful sunsets. We head to the beach in the evenings with a cup of wine to view the sunset, a different show each evening. Some nights are cloudy with subtle color and some nights are brilliantly colorful. The kids happily play at the shoreline, in the creek, in the lake and warm-up to the campfire as they make s'mores. Treasures abound year round -- beach glass, beach stones, driftwood, and other ordinary objects weathered to 'treasure-status' by water and time. Kids find their imaginations here.
Launch your kayak or sailboard right from the beach, or your jet ski or larger boat from the Marina, 1.4 miles east. We launch our fishing boat from the North East Marina and then anchor it in front of our beach during the day so we can come and go. The marina also has short term space for boats parking or slips.
Bring your bikes. Kids can bike up and down our quiet street. Mature bicyclists can be more adventurous and take advantage of longer bike rides. Cycling tours and maps available at "Lake Country Bike" in North East.

When you call, you will speak to me -- Lynne Clement 814-566-4722. I am the founder/owner. I am always happy to answer your questions and make recommendations or referrals.
I'm Lynne Clement, a work-from-home soccer/dance/baseball mom. I love managing our rental properties and being a marketing consultant and property manager for other vacation rental owners. I am originally from Erie, PA, a graduate of both Penn State Main and Xavier University (Cincinnati). I worked at Procter & Gamble for 10 years and lived all over the country for 20 years. When our kids became school-aged, we moved back to Erie where they could have a place to call home and have close relationships with extended family.
Lynne Clement purchased this house in 2005
As a child, my favorite memories were of visiting this special beach community. My dad's best friend owned this little slice of heaven where kids could be kids enjoying nature, and adults were always in a good mood as they relaxed, recharged and enjoyed good company in a peaceful place. The tug of good memories was so strong that eventually my parents bought the house next door AND years later, my husband and I bought the other next door home so that we could provide happy traditions and memories for our kids! I have been coming to this place for 40+ years!
I wanted my kids to grow up enjoying the same memories I had... swimming at the beach, combing the shore for beach glass, outdoor bbqs, gathering driftwood for bonfires and s'mores, catching minnows and crayfish in the creek behind our house, walking barefoot on a dirt roads to the beach, skipping stones, floating on rafts, painting beach stones and building teepees from fallen tree branches. As an adult, I appreciate getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and entertaining friends or family and their kids just like I remember from those days as a child. Creating memories... it's what we help you do!
We stayed with young children and found this house to be very well stocked, clean, and family friendly. We've stayed in this neighborhood before and even though this is not on the lake, it's a short walk to the beach. We were very impressed by the house. We would definitely stay here again.
The "Beachy House" was a perfect spot for our family. We visited, walked the beach, skipped many rocks, collected and painted rocks and thoroughly enjoyed the backyard. The lake water was warm and perfect for enjoying family swims. They did some canoeing as well. The short walk to the beach from the house made it very convenient. We had nightly fires in the fire pit and made plenty of s'mores after our walk to the beach to watch the beautiful sunsets. The house had plenty of room for us all and our 17 year old grandson "owned" the loft. Our 6 year old grandson did not want to go home!! We did a wine tour in the area which was a lot of fun. I even got a great massage in town....wonderful. Looking forward to another stay next year. The house was well stocked and met all our needs. Lynne responded to us quickly when we had a small problem. Thanks Lynne!
We enjoyed our 6 night stay at this home. It was well stocked with plenty of towels and bedding, was clean and nicely updated. The private beach was rocky and the kids enjoyed playing in the end of the creek. We visited Waldameer, Erie Zoo, Presque Isle, the shops in North East and many local wineries. We really liked the area.
The Bohn family had a great time! The weather was perfect and the water was warm for our new activity.... Paddleboarding! Very relaxing time for all!
This small "cottage" has everything you could possibly need to have a relaxing time at the lake. The kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of towels, linens, blankets, etc. When we arrived most of the trash was full. Lynne was very responsive as they had just changed trash companies. She even volunteered to come pick some of the trash up! The house easily accommodated all of our friends and family for a graduation dinner. The fire pit was ready for use and there are plenty of chairs provided. The lake and beach are just steps away. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Lynne went out of her way to provide us with extra parking if we needed plus explained what was part of the association grounds. She does a great job providing information for the area and is also there to help if you have any questions. The home has been updated and is just lovely. We hope to be back in the future.
Had a wonderful girls weekend. This home is absolutely adorable. Close to the beach and close to many wineries. Lynne was very easy to deal with and shared a lot of information. Now planning on becoming a yearly getaway!
North East is Erie, PA's Wine Country. It is a small, Great Lakes town with beaches, vineyards, farms, and a quaint downtown shopping and dining area. Winery tasting and tours are offered year round. Summers feature festivals and weekly free concerts in the vineyards, and recreation on Lake Erie. Fall is an exciting time to visit starting with the ripening of the grapes and the incredible aroma that wafts through our area and followed by wine and harvest festivals.

The Humanitarian Question: Religion, Emotions and Humanitarianism in the Modern Age

Announcement ID:
Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research (Duisburg) and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (Essen) will host the interdisciplinary Conference "The Humanitarian Question. Religion, Emotions and Humanitarianism in the Modern Age" (June 5th-7th 2014).
Humanitarianism has become a major feature of global social life. In fact the necessity of humanitarian thought and actions seems to be the ineluctable starting point of any debate about how to treat those in need in our neighbourhoods and across the globe. However, humanitarianism is highly controversial, both as a concept and as a phenomenon: Its emergence is deeply entangled in colonialism and Eurocentric concepts of a "civilizing mission". At present, humanitarianism is seen by many as distracting from and thus perpetuating the deeper causes of inequality and misery. Also, invocations of humanitarian motivation for action are almost always faced with the charge of either inadequate sentimentality or hypocrisy.
Against this background the conference wants to tackle the humanitarian question, by analyzing the motivations of humanitarianism in the Modern Age, devoting attention both to conceptual precision and the adequate account of concrete historical developments. In order to do so, the conference will focus on five sets of questions, concerning religion, emotion, visual representation, locality and universality:
First, the emphasis on sentiment in the flourishing literature on humanitarianism might have detracted attention from the role that religion plays not only for the foundation, but also for the present practices of humanitarianism. Possibly, the importance of religion is as persistent (and underestimated) in the context of humanitarianism as with regard to other political and social phenomena, where doubts about Weber's paradigm of secularization have now become commonplace. So we need to understand the entanglement of religious and non-religious motivations to provide aid in the Modern Age. What conceptions of humanity and humanitarianism emerged within different religious traditions? Do humanitarian practices reflect secular and/or sacralized concepts of humanity?
Second, emotions have been described as bodily anchored modes of orientation and motivation. We want to address the evolving emotional regimes (including such capacities as empathy or emotions like compassion, guilt or anger) that might have motivated humanitarian actions since the end of the 18th century. How do new emotional constructions of the self and otherness shape universal concepts of humanitarian aid?
Third, the concept and practice of humanitarianism is shaped by its narratives and representations that are communicated through different media (photos, films, eyewitness testimonies etc.). How can we understand the impact of images of suffering and of providing aid on practices of humanitarianism? Is there a way to distinguish between techniques to open our eyes to the misery of our fellow human beings and the abuse of images for manipulation, commercialization and propaganda?
Fourth, which role does the locality of humanitarianism play? How does the global dimension of human suffering and humanitarian sensitivity relate to the poverty and misery of people in the industrialized world? How can we make sense of the similarities of humanitarian languages and practices employed both in Europe or the US and the sites of humanitarian action in the Global South?
Fifth, humanitarian thought and action is ultimately based on the belief in the universal validity of values. How can this foundation in universality be reconciled with insights into the historical genealogy of values? In this regard, the parallelism and differences between the universal ideas of a "civilizing mission" held by agents of colonialism and humanitarianism in the 19th century and recent concepts of "humanitarian intervention" deserve our attention.
We invite researchers at all levels, especially PhD students and postdocs, with a background in history, sociology, political science, ethnology and other disciplines to contribute to the discussion. Papers focusing on case studies are especially welcome.
Presentations should last no longer than 30 minutes. Submissions are due via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com by 1st November 2013. They should include an abstract of the paper (1-3 pages) and a CV, both contained in one pdf-file.

The use of acoustic emission monitoring to rank paper materials with respect to their fracture toughness
Gradin, P.A., Graham, D., Nygård, P. and Vallen, H. (2007) The use of acoustic emission monitoring to rank paper materials with respect to their fracture toughness. Experimental Mechanics, 48 (1). pp. 133-137. ISSN 0014-4851 (Print), 1741-2765 (Online) (doi:10.1007/s11340-007-9055-7)Full text not available from this repository.
In this study, a simplified Acoustic Emission (AE) equipment, in essence an AE signal conditioner and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data acquisition system, is used to study what happens in paper structures during mechanical loading. By the use of such equipment, some parameters that can be extracted are e.g. the stress and strain at onset of AE, the stress and strain at the onset of rapid AE defined as some numerical factor (larger then one) times the initial emission rate, the emission rate at the first stage of loading and the stress and strain at final failure i.e. when the specimen loses its load carrying ability.In this study however, the interest is focused on one particular parameter i.e. the elastic strain energy density W c at onset of AE. This is a parameter with a clear physical meaning and in this study, the correlation between this parameter and a fracture toughness measure, is investigated.The conclusion is that when nine different paper materials (with a large span regarding properties) are considered, there is a correlation (however not linear) between these two parameters.

Nearly a stone's throw away from the Iowa border in north central Missouri hunters will find some of the state's best dove hunting opportunities. Rebel's Cove Conservation Area, just north of Livonia in Putnam and Schuyler counties, contains 45 acres of managed sunflower fields that draw in doves by the scores.
The dove season is open until Nov. 9. Mourning doves, Eurasian collared-doves and white-winged doves are legal to hunt. The combined daily bag limit of all three species is 12, with a combined possession limit of 24. Full details on dove hunting regulations are available in the 2007 Migratory Bird Hunting Digest, available wherever hunting permits are sold.
After your hunt at Rebel's Cove CA, nature viewing, fishing, hiking and camping are among the activities you can enjoy in the area's rich mixture of habitats, which include grasslands, diverse marshes and timbered bluffs that line the winding Chariton River.
Rebel's Cove CA is just one of the 100 conservation areas with fields managed for dove, for more information on these areas see the links listed below.
Governor Matt Blunt recently signed into law the Hunting Heritage Protection Areas Act. The legislation preserves Missourians' rights to participate in hunting and other outdoor sports within heritage protection areas, which are defined as the 100-year flood plains of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. The new law also protects the flood plains from development by prohibiting the authorization of new tax increment financing projects in many hunting heritage protection areas.
The thrill of following a bird dog on the trail of game and firing as quail or pheasants explode into the air await youngsters ages 6 though 15. Oct. 27–28 youth in Missouri will have quail and pheasant hunting opportunities all to themselves during the state's first-ever youth-only quail and pheasant hunting seasons. The youth pheasant season is in the north zone only. Youngsters who are not hunter education certified need properly licensed, hunter education trained adults to take them afield. The adults cannot hunt but are encouraged to assist youths. Kids with hunter education training can go afield on their own. For information about hunting in Missouri see the links listed below.
Ever have to evade birds that appeared to be on the attack? Swooping and dashing at potential predators to drive them away is a defense technique that is called mobbing. Chickadees, titmice, jays, blackbirds and crows are among the many species of birds that mob. Species that have overlapping territories during the nesting season will combine efforts to mob a common threat.
While ornithologists know that mobbing occurs often, they are unsure of the exact benefits mobbers seek to gain. Some suggest mobbing might be a way to teach young birds to identify enemies. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Handbook of Bird Biology offers these four theories on the value of mobbing:
Mobbing is just one of several techniques birds use to defend themselves. To learn more about bird behavior see the links listed below.
Cool formations and interesting wildlife make caves wonderful places to explore. A small percentage of Missouri's caves are home to endangered gray and Indiana bats. Both species of bats usually roost in very large numbers, up to hundreds of thousands, which makes them extremely vulnerable to disturbance. If you happen upon a cave and find big clusters of bats in it, you undoubtedly have stumbled upon one or the other of these endangered bats. Disturbance by humans is among the main reasons that these bats are endangered. Each time the bats are awakened from hibernation they use up vital fat reserves that cannot be replaced in winter. Excessive disturbance can cause bats to die or abandon a cave. For this reason, we advise people who encounter a large group of bats in a cave to quietly retreat and allow the bats to roost undisturbed.
Details on the habits and habitats of Missouri bats is available on the Department of Conservation Web.
