Oklahoma Sooners Look For New Starting RB
The Oklahoma Sooners are known for running backs like Adrian Peterson, Billy Simms, Steve Owens, Demarco Murray, Greg Pruitt and Billy Vessels. But even when the backs don't stack up with those all-time greats, it doesn't mean they aren't strong in their own right.
Take the Sooners' two backs last year, Brennan Clay and Roy Finch. Clay had an outstanding game against Kansas with 200 yards on 31 carries and a season average of 5.5 yards per carry.
Finch didn't get the number of carries he deserved, but took advantage of the time he was on the field with 59 rushing attempts for 347 yards.
Now both Clay and Finch are gone, and Oklahoma has to find the next back who can step up.
OU has three backs who have been around for spring ball — Keith Ford, Alex Ross and David Smith. At this point Smith is going to have to do some serious climbing to get any playing time.
Ross got only three carries over three games last season. He rushed for 19 yards and no touchdowns. During spring practices he has come through, finding holes, working hard and impressing coaches and teammates alike. He is a strong, fast runner. Had it not been for a personal foul for taking a swing at a Louisiana Tech defender in the first game last season, Ross might have seen more reps.
Ford was thought to be a shoo-in for the starting job before Ross' strong spring performances. Ford saw playing time early last season but was quickly benched because of fumble troubles. He had three carries for 15 yards in the Sugar Bowl.
Ford has been working on his ballhandling. He is a strong runner who can bounce off a tackle and get those extra yards.
The incoming recruits are poised to make an immediate splash. Joe Mixon ranks sixth in the ESPN rankings among other running backs. He is a powerful runner who can break tackles and make a big play on the ground or through the air. As a senior in high school he ran for 1,704 yards with 23 touchdowns.
Samaje Perine is the sleeper pick. He comes highly ranked from ESPN at 17thbut doesn't have the hype that Mixon does. Cale Gundy, the running backs coach, was quoted via NewsOK.com as saying: "He's got great feet and he's got great hands." Perine needs to come in this summer and step up if he wants to get playing time over the other backs.
With two strong running backs in Ford and Ross, Mixon and Perine will benefit in a number of ways.
They would be pushed by the strong competition and would learn what they will have to do to get playing time. Second, it will help the older players assimilate them into the system. Lastly, if both Ross and Ford prove themselves as the premier backs and share the majority of the carries, Mixon and Perine will have more time to develop before they are thrown into game play.
As we saw in 2008 with Demarco Murray and Chris Brown, a dual running back system is possible and OU is poised to have just that.

He came, he saw, he vowed to rethink the web and its satellite industries. Mark Zuckerberg faced one of the most important keynote speeches of his career when he took to the stage at Facebook's F8 conference in San Francisco on Thursday, and while the man himself looked nervous and awkward delivering a Steve Jobs-esque presentation on stage, the announcements he made are set to have a huge impact on the way we experience the Internet. For all the blue-sky speak ("Realtime serendipity!") and new tech developments (OpenGraph and new apps), the message from F8 was surprisingly simple: Zuckerberg is now attempting to fold the entire web into his site. Facebook wants to be the one-stop shop for pretty much all your online needs.
The most obvious change is to your profile page. Saying that we are "more than what we did recently", Zuckerberg spoke of creating a page where all the most important moments from our life, not just the most recent ones, will appear. Effectively, Facebook is turning the profile page into a Facebook Blog, a digital scrapbook where you can easily share wedding pictures, baby pictures, anniversaries, birthdays, the whole lot, no matter how long ago those events took place. For example, if you really enjoyed that trip to Australia in 2008 why should it be buried at the bottom of your profile? Why not put it front and centre for all to see? With the new Facebook Timeline that's exactly what you can do. "It's a completely new aesthetic for Facebook," Zuckerberg said. "We think it's an important next step to help you tell the story of your life."
These changes don't mean that Facebook is more interested in what you did rather than what you're doing though; far from it. Immediacy remains key to Facebook's functionality, with a new series of apps and partnerships allowing users to share what they're watching, reading and listening to in real-time. The company has joined forces with a host of other businesses (including Spotify, American TV streaming service Hulu and Netflix, America's version of LOVEFiLM) to deliver a platform that allows users to share everything about their life. Listening to Elvis via Facebook's Spotify app? "John is listening to Elvis" will appear on your friends' news stream, allowing them to click the link and join in the listening. The same will be true of movies, TV shows and newspapers. You'll even be able to share the food you're consuming and the exercise you're undertaking. Every part of your life can now be a part of the social revolution.
There are further changes too, such as the flexibility of the Like button (you can now [verb] any [noun]) and the creation of a ticker that will contain lightweight activity updates like games, but the apps and timeline are the most significant. The effects on brands remain to be seen and although much rests on the amount of information Facebook users are willing to share, this does undoubtedly represent a fundamental shift in the way Facebook operates and the opportunities it presents to brands. If nothing else, Facebook now has the potential to gather enough targeted information to make it one of the world's most powerful advertising platforms. Google and Twitter are undoubtedly drawing up their responses…
Facebook's new functionality will be rolled out over the new few weeks, but Timeline can be enabled right now with TechCrunch's clever cheat.
Flower power
In a significant development on the search front, flower shop Interflora has won a key court victory against Marks & Spencer over the use of the Interflora name as a keyword. The high street department store have been using 'interflora' in their PPC campaign, essentially meaning that anyone searching for 'interflora' in Google were as likely to see an ad for M&S as Interflora itself. Obviously, this potentially diverts traffic and revenue that may otherwise have gone to Interflora to M&S, so the company contested the keyword and on Thursday the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in their favour. This means that they have the backing of the EU, but the matter isn't totally settled just yet. The judgement still needs to be applied by the High Court, so they can determine Marks and Spencer's liability. This is due to happen next year.
In a statement on their website, Interflora said: "Keyword advertising is a very powerful tool and so it is vital for consumer protection that Internet search results take consumers immediately to the brands they were looking for. This judgment goes much further than previous rulings by saying that the use by a competitor of a keyword identical to the trade mark in relation to identical goods or services has an adverse effect on the investment in the trade mark where that use substantially interferes with the brand's reputation and its ability to attract and retain consumers. Further, a competitor may be construed as free-riding on a brand when that competitor uses the brand owner's trade mark as a paid for keyword to deliver sponsored advertising along side natural search results. This is exactly what Interflora and other global brands have been arguing for many years."
Indeed, this is a significant step forward for brands and search engine optimisers alike. Brands can now ensure that their name enjoys the same safeguards online as it does offline, while the optimisers will have to stamp out some of the more dubious practices that have crept into the industry. The ruling makes it clear that the intention of the user is paramount and that can only be a good thing for good SEO.
Pluses and minuses for Google
It's been a mixed week for Google. Not only have they had to sit in the shadow of the hype generated by Facebook's new developments, but the search engine has also had to endure some negative press about the success of their own social media platform, Google Plus. Data gathered by 89n.com suggests that the average number of public posts per day on Google+ has fallen from 0.68 between 19th July to 19th August to 0.40 between 19th August and 14th September. This is a decrease of 41%. The full stats can be found at 89n.com's site, and they don't make great reading for Google. But before we start writing the Google+ epitaph, we should factor in the novelty value the then-new G+ enjoyed in the summer and perhaps conclude that comparisons like this are not totally fair. Still, it does prove that Google has a very long way indeed to go before challenging Facebook. On the plus side though, the company's little-known search engine project is still by far and away the market leader. Experian Hitwise has found that Google's search engine share for September has increased 0.33% compared to August (that's a jump from 90.66% to 90.99%). Their nearest competitor Bing is down 0.24% to 3.63%, while Yahoo has dropped 0.06% to 2.50% of the overall share. Even combined, that figure is still a fraction of Google's overall share, so in the short-term at least it seems the Bing-Yahoo alliance has not reaped the rewards the companies had hoped for.
MediaCity gets sporty
Finally, MediaCity's continued ascendancy to the top of the UK's media chain has continued apace this week with the announcement that the site is to host this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The annual awards show honours the year's top sporting achievements and is traditionally held in London. This year though, the programme, which will be hosted by Sue Barker, Match of the Day's Gary Lineker and Jake Humphrey of the BBC's Formula 1 coverage, is moving up north. Barker said: "It's very exciting to be coming to Greater Manchester. I've been many times as a [tennis] player and presenting A Question Of Sport, so I know how much the people of Manchester and Salford are into their sport. I think the studio will be bigger than the one in London, and we have some tickets that are open to the public, so I'm sure it'll be a fantastic atmosphere." The programme will be the centrepiece of a series of events based at MediaCity in December entitled Celebrate Sport.

What is the theme of "The Lamb" by William Blake?I need an answer STAT please!!!!!!!!
2 Answers | Add Yours
In my opinion, the theme of this poem is Christian theology. The poem is meant to convey to the listener some of the major ideas of the Christian faith.
The poem starts by asking the lamb if it knows who made it and who cares for it and gives it the things that it needs to live. This is what is going on in the first stanza.
In the second stanza, the speaker tells the lamb (probably a symbol for a child) a bit about Jesus. The speaker talks about how Jesus became human for the sake of all people.
My suggestion is a bit different from the above post.
Though, on the surface level, lamb seems to stand just for innocence, but if analyzed deeply, the lamb in Blake's poem is a personal symbol which signifies God himself. The lamb indicates the softer aspects of God, for instance mercy, pity, forgiveness and so on. As the tiger of Blake's "The Tyger" from the experience poems, signifies the harsher and harder attributes of God, like wrath, rage, audaciousness etc., similarly "The Lamb" symbolizes some specific qualities of God himself.
This innocence of the lamb (the kindness of God) is a model for humankind. According to Blake, in order to bring peace and bliss, this innocence is very important. In fact, all his innocence and experience poems, in pairs, are foils for one another; and together, they make a sense.

GRAND ADVENTURE - Day 10 - June 29, 2009
Went to Acadia
National Park, Maine where pretty much every bird Margot saw were life birds but
since she isn't a birder yet she didn't seem impressed with my two lifers;
Common Eider and Black Guillemot. Bar Harbor was a nice little town where we
enjoyed breakfast and then went back to exploring the park.
The day stayed
relatively dreary with fog and drizzle but the sun did break through on
occasion. Margot went to sleep in the back of the truck as I explored Cadillac
Mountain and the rest of Acadia. After exploring the lighthouse where Margot
awoke (she loves lighthouses!) we left the park to continue the adventure
heading south for the first time.
I drove for a
bit then Margot took back over. She drove through New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, where I apparently dozed through most of Boston. We ended up in
Watch Hill Rhode Island where I took back over the driving. Margot spent many
summers at a friends house in Watch Hill. I never knew about her adventures
there and was thrilled to learn of her life there. We then headed on to
Stamford, Connecticut where we took a motel for the night.

What is the current Unix Timestamp?
What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix Timestamp, also known as Unix Epoch, Unix Time or POSTX Time, is a numerical value that represents a particular date and time as the number of seconds counted since midnight on January 1st 1970 (not including leap seconds). This format is extremely useful when dealing with dates and times in computation, and is a standardized value that is consistent worldwide.
Older systems stored Unix Time as a 32-bit integer, which will be problematic on January 19, 2038 as the value will run out of digits to count and reset to zero. This is referred to as the Year 2038 Problem. Most systems have been upgrated to 64-bit, and realistically all systems will be upgraded by the year 2038. Moving to a 64-bit integer value will extend the expiration of unix time by billions years, taking its capacity out to December 4, 292,277,026,596.

Nanoxia DS6 Deep Silence 6 Review
The Build
Published: 25th November 2013 | Source: Nanoxia | Price: £199.00 |
The Build
The DS6 comes with a booklet of extensive instructions, which are informative and easy to follow (even if they do put the German language section first). Nanoxia haven't scrimped on the accessories either, along with all the screws and bits you will need for assembly you also get a set of 4 rubber blanks to totally seal off the perforated grommets that come fitted, an external 5.25" to 3.5" adapter (finished in black to match the 5.25" bay covers), a slack handful of decent length cable ties and last but not least, recognising that the dimensions of the DS6 might outstrip the cable lengths on a good many PSUs, Nanoxia have added a 24-pin ATX and an 8-pin CPU cable extension to the bundle.
On with the build then and with no worries about fitting in all our cables we were non the less diligent about our cable management. The PSU went in first resting firmly on its supportive rubber isolation nipples and lining up perfectly with the holes in the cut out.
Cable management was a piece of piddle, with no need for us to use the extension cables provided. Had we been putting in a larger mobo though we'd have had no choice and would have been very grateful for them. There's no trough along the upper edge to run and stash fan cables and the like, but fortunately there is a row of cable tie points.
A huge deep trough at the bottom hides a multitude of sins and a good spread of cable tie points and more than ample management holes enable us to pull of a tidy job.
No we haven't just fitted an Mini -ITX board into a standard mid tower chassis, however the sheer size of the DS6 does make our trusty old ASUS P6-T Deluxe V2 build board look more than a little lost in there. As protagonists of proportion we have to say it does look ridiculous so unless you're going to fill up the rest of the space with water cooling kit and other exotic hardware we suggest one of the larger boards this case is able to accept would look much better. Even with the inner row of cable management holes we're still having to drag a length of 24 pin across the white expanse of case to the socket, and the large second CPU cut out does rather mar the aesthetics of the otherwise stunning interior.

OREGON CITY - Mitch Thompson's ankle is doing just fine.
One week after being carted off the field at West Linn with a high ankle sprain, Oregon City's slippery senior tailback looked as if he hasn't lost a step in leading the Pioneers to a 42-36 win over visiting Clackamas in a Three Rivers League football shootout Friday night.
Despite not practicing all week, the 5-foot-8, 170-pound Thompson ran circles around the Cavaliers (4-4, 2-2). He finished with 353 yards and five touchdowns on 29 carries as the Pioneers (5-3, 3-1) won to set up a big game with first-place Lake Oswego (8-0, 4-0) in the regular-season finale next week.
"It's killing right now," Thompson said of his ankle. "But all the adrenaline was flowing. I took it easy this week. I iced it and stretched it so I could be ready for this game."
Thompson has rushed for 1,910 yards and 22 touchdowns this season.
"He's tougher than nails. The toughest guy on our team," senior defensive lineman Michael McCoy said. "He has the most heart. It was a scare in the West Linn game to see him come out, and to perform as he did tonight ... I have a lack of words."
Thompson showed no lingering effects early, racing up the sideline for 35 yards on his first carry and following that with a 20-yard touchdown burst. He kept the pedal down from there.
"I was wondering if he could sustain it," Oregon City coach Kevin Strasser said. "But the kid is just a beast. He's everything you want. It was a gutty performance. There's no question he's our leader."
It seemed that every time Clackamas scored to put the heat on the Pioneers, Thompson had an answer.
"He's a power back, and he's small and quick and can run outside, too," Clackamas junior linebacker Zach Farnes said. "He's really versatile. He'll be inside and people will have him, and all of the sudden, he's outside."
Tied 14-14 at half, Oregon City got the upper hand early in the third quarter on Thompson touchdown runs of 59 and five yards. Senior linebacker Kale Davis set up the second score with an interception at the Clackamas 33-yard line.
But the Cavaliers kept nipping at Oregon City's heels. Junior Dan Sherrell (24 carries, 116 yards) scored on a 36-yard run and 28-yard catch to twice bring Clackamas within a touchdown. When junior quarterback Doonie Johnson scored on a quarterback sneak and threw a two-point conversion pass to junior Taylor Stinson, the Cavaliers were within 42-36 with 5:32 left.
Clackamas got the ball back with 2:45 remaining at its own 10 and moved to Oregon City's 46 with 36 seconds to go, but turned the ball over on downs.
"We tightened it up at the end, that's all that matters," said McCoy, who had two sacks.
Sherrell ran for 116 yards on 24 carries to lead Clackamas. Johnson completed 19 of 36 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Senior Jacob Iverson caught six passes for 104 yards.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The 2013 NFL draft will be held on April 25-27.
The 32 first-round picks will be made on Friday, April 25. The Cleveland Browns, barring a trade, own the sixth pick in round one.
Second- and third-round picks will be made on April 26 and fourth- through seventh-rounders will be picked on April 27.
The Browns don't have a second-round selection. They gave that up in order to acquire wide receiver Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft last summer.
Mock draft season has begun, though there will be continuous back-and-forth over the next 10 weeks. The scouting combine to be held from Wednesday, Feb. 20 until Feb. 26 in Indianapolis, Pro Days on college campuses and individual workouts and interviews -- among other factors -- will change minds and secure decisions.
The consensus for now is that the Browns will draft a defensive player in the first round, helping to mold a unit for new coordinator Ray Horton. Cleveland has played a 4-3 defense in past seasons, but will likely play a 3-4 or some "hybrid" variation of it.
Most draft analysts expect the Browns to select a defensive end, outside linebacker or cornerback with their first round pick. Rob Rang, for CBSSports.com and NFLDraftScout.com, thinks the Browns will take Georgia outside linebacker Jarvis Jones. Rang writes:
While the Browns finished last in the AFC North for the second consecutive year (and fourth time in the past five years), Cleveland boasts a roster ripe with young talent, including at the skill positions for head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner to develop. As such, the team could be in the market for a dynamic pass rusher to fit new defensive coordinator Ray Horton's 3-4 scheme. Only concerns about Jones' health (he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2009) could push him down the board, as the 6-2, 240-pound outside linebacker was a dominant force for the Georgia Bulldogs, leading the SEC in tackles for loss (24.5), sacks (14.5) and forced fumbles (seven).
Chris Fedor, in a mock draft for cleveland.com, predicts the Browns will select LSU outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo.

An occasional mock has the Browns boosting their offense in the first round. Peter Schrager, for FoxSports.com, has the Browns making a dramatic move, selecting Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson. Wilson would compete with Brandon Weeden. Cleveland, after taking Alabama running back Trent Richardson with the third pick in last year's draft, used another first-rounder, at No. 22 overall, to pick Oklahoma State's Weeden.
Peter Schrager writes:
Yes, Cleveland drafted a quarterback in the first round a season ago. And sure, there are plenty of other pressing needs on the roster. But I'm very high on Wilson; I'm not very high on Brandon Weeden. Norv Turner won't fail with grooming a quarterback and before Bobby Petrino's motorcycle accident, the sky was the limit for this kid. Wilson is a 6-2, athletic, tough and smart guy who went through the ups and downs of last year in Fayetteville. He's been through adversity and he's never complained. He's the No. 1 quarterback on my big board and I think others will join me after a week in Indianapolis. Cleveland and Wilson, to me, is a perfect match.
Russ Lande, in his mock draft for the National Football Post, writes that the Browns will pick California wide receiver Keenan Allen:
With young talent like Trent Richardson, Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron on the roster, the Browns need to get more weapons if Brandon Weeden is going to succeed in Coach Chudzinski's downfield passing attack. Allen reminds us a ton of Bengals' receiver AJ Green and could provide the big play ability and security blanket for Brandon Weeden that AJ Green does for Andy Dalton.

Last Saturday, there were a number of boys out picking up trash around McDonald Lake. They appeared to be about Cub Scout age. Their leader must have arranged the clean-up.
I would like for all of them to know they were seen and their work was appreciated. A big thank you to all those young boys and their leader.
The next time you decide to work around the lake, I would like to help.

Jay Leno confirmed reports today that he's leaving "The Tonight Show" in spring 2014, wrapping up his 22-year run as host.
As rumored, Jimmy Fallon — who currently hosts "Late Night" for NBC — will sign on as his replacement, the network said in a statement.
NBC also confirmed the show would make the move from Los Angeles and return to its original home in 30 Rock in New York.
Fallon opened up to GQ magazine in his April cover issue on the possibility of taking over Leno's spot and it appeared he wasn't concerned.
"It would be great, sure, I guess," Fallon told the mag. "I'd love it, but it's not on my mind. I'm in no rush to do anything."
He also said at the time, he was not competing for the position, which was likely an allusion to the well documented conflict between Leno and Conan O'Brien in early 2010 over the host and airtime of "The Tonight Show."
"I'm kind of a boring character in that book. I'm not in a fight with Jay [Leno] or Conan [O'Brien], or any of them," Fallon told GQ. "I don't have that story."
Leno had resigned from the post in 2009 to move to prime time, passing the torch to O'Brien, who was then the host of "Late Night." But after "The Jay Leno Show" was met by poor ratings, Leno returned to his original gig, leaving Conan without a job.
Conan eventually left the network for cable TV.
In early March, the New York Times reported "The Tonight Show" would reclaim its New York roots with Fallon at its helm, citing as sources several NBC execs involved in the decision. The Times said the network made a commitment to Fallon and the switch was likely to take place by fall 2014 the latest.
Leno — whose contract is up in 2014 — sent his congratulations to Fallon today.
"Congratulations Jimmy," Leno said. "I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy. If you need me, I'll be at the garage."

Bainbridge Island Review Letters to the Editor | Oct. 15 (cont'd.)
Election '08
Beware of voter fraud in county
Is there voter fraud in Kitsap County?
The Kitsap County auditor is the chief elections officer for the county overseeing all elections.
I believe that the person responsible for processing and counting your vote should take voter fraud more seriously, and insure that your legal right to vote is protected. Every illegal vote cast negates a legitimate vote, thereby undermining public confidence in our elections process.
As it is now under the National Voter Motor Registration Act, anyone applying for a driver's license receives a voter registration form. That individual is NOT required to prove citizenship, but simply claims to be a citizen by checking a box on the form. The form is processed and he or she is then a registered voter in Kitsap County.
No doubt, there are penalties if a person is not a citizen and gets caught. Not one case has been investigated and turned over to the prosecutor's office in Kitsap County. Does that mean there is no illegal voter registration? Or does that mean that county officials have been complacent in protecting your legal right to vote? You be the judge.
Our voter registration and voting procedures have been changed a great deal in the past decade. We now have online registration that requires only a driver's license to become a registered voter.
Your driver's license is not proof of citizenship. All our ballots are mailed in, and do not require any form of ID to be cast.
If your child was registered to vote in Washington, then moved away to college in another state, he or she can register to vote there, yet you will still receive the child's ballot in your mail box.
What prevents someone from casting that ballot here in Kitsap County, and your child voting in another state? Essentially nothing. The signature of record is not enough protection against this potential fraud. States are not cross-checking voter registrations to verify that there are not duplicates for the same voter.
Convenience of online registration and all-mail ballots has been made possible by technology.
It is possible that at some point in the future you will be able to cast your ballot on your computer or by using your phone. Many such changes will be made by federal law, but they will be implemented and monitored at the local level.
You need an advocate to protect the integrity of your legitimate right to vote. I pledge that as your Kitsap County auditor I will encourage ALL citizens over 18 years of age to vote, and protect your vote.
This is not a partisan issue – it is the core of our democracy. Your vote matters if you are a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian or Independent. I will do everything I can to restore your confidence that your vote does matter.
John Clark
Candidate for Kitsap County auditor
Support Danielson, U.S. Constitution
Wow! Isn't it refreshing to have a judicial candidate (like) Bruce Danielson to be an independent lawyer seeking office without crawling to his peers for their blessing.
The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights is not a living document, which socialists continue to profess it to be. The institutional substance of its greatness is barraged by pseudo-intellectual judges that ignore its historic relevancy. Why vote for one of those?
It's time we elected a judge who understands the historical value of that document and will not prostitute it with convoluted interpretation. The only defense to this onslaught of democratic socialism is to look for judges that at least have institutional values of the founding fathers.
In holding his standards above the liberal-socialist agenda, Bruce has been castigated and judged not qualified by the greater portion of the local Democratic bar association
Yet, Dalton's comments supporting the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that terrorist held in Guantanamo deserve the same legal rights of U.S. citizen makes me believe she is a hard-line democratic liberal!
Why would any American believe the enemies of this great nation deserve the same judicial rights as its citizens? Vote for Danielson.
Dean H. Jenniges
Vote for candidates who are 'green'
I was reading your reporter's write-up of the debate between Phil Rockefeller and Connie Lord last week – both are running to be one of Bainbridge Island's state representatives. As a student of the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, and someone who is studying the rapidly growing opportunities for businesses to both become more environmentally sustainable and save money, a couple of thoughts occurred to me.
Rather than dredging up a debate that is over, candidates should be talking about the investments needed to grow our green economy in these uncertain times, which happens to be a great way to deal with climate change.
We need to vote for the candidate who is most willing to invest in green job training at our colleges and vocational schools and triple the number of green family wage jobs in our state.
We need state leaders who support cap and trade systems that will curb greenhouse gases and invest in renewable energy. Let's all be on the lookout for leaders who will do so, and vote accordingly!

Samsung wearable to beat HoloLens with 3D-cam and 2x Glass
Samsung may be next on the list of hardware companies to deliver a smart headset with dual-Google Glass-like displays, 3D cameras, and augmented reality/holography. This device does not yet have a formal name, instead opting in early registration documents as a "wearable display apparatus" only. The image you see before you is not the same as Samsung's earlier Google Glass competitor seen back in January of 2014 - this headset is brand new. It's wireless, and it's sporting virtual imagery the likes of which we've never seen before.

Himalayan Blackberry�� Rubus discolor�� Rose Family (Rosaceae)
Next Plant�
�Description: The Himalayan blackberry is a perennial import from Eurasia that is an aggressive exotic which rapidly overtops the understory vegetation in the riparian forest, and spreads by extending long runners which root at the ends. A colony of blackberry can widen by 10 ft. or more a year, smothering every plant in its path. Huge areas of diverse riparian shrubs and forbs have been turned into low productive monocultures by this uninvited plant. The thorns of this species are large, woody arcs, like rose thorns, which draw blood easily. The leaves are in groups of three to five leaflets (usually five), and are much lighter in color on the underside than on top. Flowers are white to pinkish in color with petals 3/8 to 5/8 inch (10 to 15 mm) in length. Berries are blackberry-like, oblong and black in color. The canes are 5-angled, making large, stiff arches which can reach 10 ft. or more in height before bending over and traveling outward toward a new place to put down roots.
Distribution: Common, widespread throughout the Redding Field Office Area under 3400 feet (1036 m) in elevation, is most prominent in the Sacramento Valley portions.
Habitat: Frequently impenetrable bramble along rivers, streams, ditches, ponds, reservoirs, and other moist places from the Sacramento Valley into the coniferous forest.
Flowering Period: May to August
Similar Plants: There is a native blackberry species (Rubus ursinus - California blackberry) that sometimes grows along side its Himalayan cousin, is not aggressive and should be protected and encouraged. This native can be distinguished from the Himalayan species by: The thorns are small, straight prickles which are easily bent over by your finger. The leaves are three-leaflet groups exclusively, and are nearly the same color on the underside of the leaf as the top. The cains are round, green and flexible along the ground or climb weakly into low shrubs and return to ground level.�

Kashif Miller became the second consecutive Haddon Heights athlete to win the 55-meter dash at the 46th boys NJSIAA/The Star-Ledger Meet of Champions yesterday at the Bennett Center in Toms River when he took the title in a state-leading 6.46.
The time, tied for No. 19 in meet history, helped Miller edge runner-up Jordan Jimerson of Union Catholic (6.49) by .03. Entering the season, Miller's personal best was 6.69. Both boys charted personal bests in the final.
The victory comes a year after Dominique Irons of Haddon Heights took the title in 6.42.
Miller ran the fastest trials time (6.48) before lowering it for the finals. He entered the meet with the No. 5 time in New Jersey (6.52) while Jimerson previously was No. 3 (6.50).
At the Group 1 Championships, Miller won the 55 dash in 6.52 after taking the South Jersey, Group 1 sectional crown at 6.60 on Feb. 1.

UNL sophomores may fill empty beds
Published 6:49 PM CST Nov 05, 2012
University of Nebraska-Lincoln regents discuss a new proposal that would require academically struggling sophomores to stay on campus.
University regent Tim Claire said the idea could be a win-win, helping fill empty dorm rooms and getting grades up.
The university said it would consider the proposal as a way to raise academic performance.
Right now, only freshmen are required to live on campus.

Closed-loop control algorithms and smart electronics are built into the module itself. Thats always been part of the value proposition, but it is becoming more and more critical for customers who are often scientists, rather than closed-loop control experts, to deploy these systems. By implementing a smart system, we can achieve motion and position control using a very tightly controlled closed-loop system, a high-resolution encoder, and a built-in microprocessor. Customers arent required to be motion control experts, he said.
The M3-F focus modules from New Scale are configurable, fully integrated closed-loop actuators. They are designed to easily replace fixed-focus lens holders without adding system size or weight and, by providing very low power requirements, they are ideal for handheld and portable systems. The production-ready modules offer simple developers kits that allow for engineering teams to have an evaluation board up and running in minutes.
Modules are configurable for lenses from M6 to M12, and compatible with common image sensors, including 1/2-inch and 1/1.8-inch formats. The module size is approximately 20mm x 22mm x 16mm, offering resolution of 0.5µm, accuracy better than 30µm, and step and settle time that are less than 20ms for a 30µm step.
Each M3-F focus module incorporates a piezoelectric SQUIGGLE micro motor, motor drive ASIC, position sensor, and microprocessor. The modules accept high-level digital commands via standard serial interface (I2C or SPI), so no external control board is necessary. M3-F modules have low power consumption and maintain focus position during power-off, using a 3.3V input voltage for battery-powered operation.
The modules have a smaller size, higher resolution, and lower power use than traditional stepper motors. They are less expensive, afford more flexibility, and are easier to integrate than liquid lenses. The modules can be quickly configured to fit a variety of lenses, mounting interfaces, and macro and infinity image plane locations.

Forget about the brouhaha over inserting the name of God, or the absurd insertion of Jerusalem back into the party platform at the DNC.
I want to see justice inserted.
I want to see equality inserted.
I want to see love for humanity inserted.
I want to see deep concern for the environment.
I want to see a real commitment to peace, a just peace.
I want to see a party that says we as a nation care about all of us, rich and poor, men and women,
old and young, gay and straight, people of faith and people of no faith;
and then I want to see us get down to work to make sure that everyone's rights are protected.
I want to see us as a nation acknowledge that we are in a position of economic privilege with respect to the rest of the human population,
and that privilege is not sustainable.
I want to see us get over illusory so-called friends (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc.) that just drag us further and further into the abyss of tyranny.
I want to see us abandon the deadly embrace of war machinery, and the arrogance of drone wars and Guantanamos.
I want to see a party that will genuinely stand up for something beautiful and lovely, rather than the politics of division and divisiveness.
I want a party that will be more than the better alternative than the lame xenophobic party of the wealthy whites.
Yes, Democrats, you have my vote.
But you do not have my passion, or my loyalty.
As one much more beautiful (Dr. King) said, we want to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of humanity.
That's what I want to see.
I know I am not alone.

Jamestown High School officials are trying to make it easier for incoming freshmen to know how many classes the school offers.
Helping the new students narrow their choices is likely a different matter altogether.
The high school held its third curriculum showcase Wednesday in the old gymnasium at the school. According to Charlie McKenna, English teacher at the high school, the event was put together by the shared decision making committee, of which he is a part.
Article Photos
Students and their families had the opportunity Wednesday night to attend a curriculum showcase at Jamestown High School, in order to learn about the variety of classes that are offered.
P-J photo by Liz Skoczylas
"In the past, we've had parent-teacher night and the showcase at the same time, so this is the first time we've separated the two," McKenna said.
The showcase is aimed at seventh- and eighth-grade students and their parents, as well as the current students at the high school. It is a chance for them to meet some of the faculty and administration of the high school, and get a taste of the courses and electives that the school has to offer.
"The first and most important thing that they need to know is what we offer. This gives us an opportunity to kind of do that public relations, to let people know, 'this is what the course is really about,' or 'this is what the department's really doing,'" McKenna said.
McKenna also noted that the high school also offers several elective courses that are unique to the school.
"We have videography, which is way beyond. We have all of our various music programs, the Youth Apprenticeship Program. The electives that we have in English are excellent, as well, as the seniors have the opportunity to choose the focus of their senior year English course," McKenna said.
He also noted that there are many art and business classes with "lots and lots of electives" to offer to students.
"We want to give the kids an opportunity, and the parents an opportunity, and the community an opportunity to see all the different things we offer. We want to let everyone know that we're working really hard to give their kids the best education we can as they go into the future," McKenna said.
Honor Society members were on-hand at the event to offer tours of the school, and teachers were stationed throughout the building to answer questions as well. Departments had the opportunity to display posters and discuss their classes with potential students.

Nature Abhors a Vacuum
"I thought I heard... no, felt something nearby,†Sayana whispered back. Aiden
looked directly at her, suddenly very serious.
"K ind of like a vibration?â€
"I suppose so, yes I'm not sure what to make of it,†she shrugged.
"But you definitely felt it,†Aiden persisted. "You weren't imagining it, right?â€
"Certainly not,†Sayana replied archly. "I didn't survive for years in the wild, unable
to tell the difference between real and imagined things.â€
"Right, sorry,†Aiden mumbled in apology, too distracted to pay much attention to
what she was saying. If the vibrations he'd felt earlier weren't his imagination, then what
were they?
"Hey, you can stop working, I found a better way to get through that rock pile,â€
Pacian called out as he jogged back toward s the site where Clavis and Colt were just
starting to really get things moving.
"Don't waste yer time lad,†Clavis replied from his perch near the top of the rock
pile. "The only way through to the tunnels beyond is behind these rocks.â€
"Or the bloody big tunnel I found over on the northwest wall,†Pacian replied
smugly. "But you can keep digging if you really want, I'm okay with that. I'll just sit
down over here and -†Colt interrupted his speech by letting a heavy rock drop to the
ground with a loud 'thud', and then dusted off his gloved hands.
"Sometimes you don't know when to shut up, Pace,†he growled, leaning over to
pick up his armour again. "Clavis, are you sure there wasn't another way through that you
"I'd think I'd remember another tunnel in me own home,†the dwarf replied, skidding
down the inclined rocks to land on the stone floor. "But if you're sure about it, I'll take
some time to look at it. Is this tunnel 'o yours big enough to squeeze through?â€
"Yes, and with room to spare,†Pacian replied. "A lot of room to spare, actually. It's
almost as big as the stairwell we came down.†Clavis paused in mid stride, his expression
slack as he seemed to be struck by a horrible thought.
"There wasn't anything like that last time I was 'ere,†he said slowly and deliberately.
"I think ya better show me lad, and quickly now.†Pacian gestured and used his torch to
light the way back towards the tunnel he'd found. With a feeling of growing dread in his
stomach Aiden and Sayana followed.
It only took a minute to reach the gaping hole in the side of the stone wall, and
despite Pacian's brief description of its size, the walls of the tunnel didn't appear to be
carved by crude tools, or even those of master craftsmen. They were, in fact, completely
smooth, and the tunnel itself was more or less round, and over ten feet across. Clavis
crept forward slowly, his left hand extended to touch the smooth stone, almost in
disbelief. And then Aiden felt another vibration in the stone, this time much stronger than
"By Relnak, did you feel that?†Clavis exclaimed, invoking the name of the dwarven
battle god. He started backing away and Pacian did likewise, grabbing the hilts of his
daggers, just in case.
"What caused this?†Sayana asked, her voice tight with anxiety. "Is it connected to
that tremor we just felt?â€
"Back in the day,†Clavis explained, licking his lips with consternation, "we had
these critters we called borers. They grew to about yea big,†he described, holding his

Liverpool are moving ever closer to their first league title in 24 years, with Sunday's 3-2 victory at Norwich City ensuring that they now need seven points to claim what would be a remarkable success.
The hysteria over the title challenge has allowed many to overlook the fact that the Reds secured Champions League football with that Norwich win, and as a result they will have opened up the possibility of bringing in some high-profile players in the summer.
But who will those players be?

Police believe they've found the man who made a splash Wednesday morning when he drove his Cadillac into the town pool on Koelle Boulevard in Secaucus.
Joshua Goyes, 26, of West New York, was busted Wednesday night around 9:40 p.m. and charged with two counts of reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and possession of drug paraphernalia., police said.
Police said that about 7:35 a.m. Wednesday Goyes drove his vehicle into the town pool, wrecking a chainlink fence and a light post in the process.
Police drained the pool and used a tow truck to remove the vehicle.
Officials said Wednesday that shortly after the vehicle went into the pool EMS workers found a man soaking wet at a local gas station.
But police wouldn't say yesterday if Goyes was that man or exactly how they fingered him as the driver.
He was released after posting $594 bail, police said.

Remarkable goings-on at the Philharmonic tonight. The concert was very good, but I thought the people here would be interested in hearing what happened.
Near the end of the eighty minutes of Mahler's ninth, a cellphone starts to ring in one of the first few rows of the orchestra seats, on the left aisle. And the phone rings… and rings… and rings. And Gilbert stops, turns, and gives the person with the ringing phone the Alan Gilbert death-stare.
"Please turn your phone off."
"We'll wait.

(Someone in the audience screams, in blood-curdling fashion, "GO HOME!!!!")
"Please, just admit that you have a phone and turn it off."

"Please, just admit that you have a phone and turn it off."
"Have you turned it off?"
"So it won't ring again? Is it off?"

"I'm very sorry. Usually when there is an interruption like this, it is best to just ignore it. In this case it was just so egregious and prolonged, I couldn't. Thank you for your patience."

Bellevue after final win for fifth straight 3A football state title | Prep sports news
Throughout the 2012 season, the Bellevue football program has been reaching for the goal of becoming the first group in Washington history to win five consecutive state titles.
With one more win on Friday against Metro League champion Eastside Catholic in the Tacoma Dome (7:30 p.m., ROOT Sports TV and KJR Radio 950 AM and 102.9 FM), the Wolverines can make their "F25" dream a reality.
Like in a regular season that included blowout wins over every in-state foe and a handful of games where the defense and special teams outscored the opposing team, postseason foes have posed little resistance to a program that has climbed to a number two national ranking according to SI.com and MaxPreps.com.
Bellevue has used a dominant defense and consistently assertive offense to outscore Lincoln, Ferndale, Peninsula and Mount Si by a combined score of 150-10. Its starting defense allowed a touchdown to a Washington squad for the first time all year in last week's semi-final win and no team has been able to offer a challenge since the opening week against Texas power Euless-Trinity.
But the Eastside Catholic offense will be one of the most explosive the Wolverines have seen all year, and one that those inside the Crusaders' program say is drastically different from the group Bellevue held scoreless in last year's playoffs. Bellevue head coach Butch Goncharoff said he expects the Crusaders to pose some unique challenges for his group.
"This team is a dual-threat," he said. "They are probably the most complete offense we've seen all year."
The continued development of senior quarterback Trey Reynolds has been perhaps the biggest key to that, as the senior has thrown for nearly 1,800 yards and rushed for 769 more. He has 22 touchdowns through the air and eight more on the ground against only three interceptions.
Hard-nosed junior running back Henry Jarvis has been the counterpunch to Reynolds and has added nearly 900 more yards rushing and 12 scores on the ground.
But after a season where they suffocated the potent running attacks of Bothell, twice stifled the passing game of Mount Si and recorded six shutouts, Bellevue has plenty of confidence. It can also pull from the added motivation of playing in the Tacoma Dome, where they have lost only once in school history and celebrated with a first place trophy nine times since 2001.
Senior running back John Nguyen, who has watched older brothers leave their own legacies in the program, said winning a state title is the only way to cement a legacy in a program so rife with success.
"That is the only thing on our minds," Nguyen said. "Since I was a freshman, especially with it being our last game, we have to come out with a win."

To the Editor:
In my education, I had many wonderful teachers: Dorothy E. Wagenbaur, my English teacher at Bartram High School, who liked the way I read Shakespeare; Chesley H. Johnson, who complimented me on my note-taking skills in Electric Shop; Clarence E. Feick, who taught me to look up at the stars in Science; Emanuel M. Goldblatt, who made me climb to the top of the ropes in Gym Class; and at Penn State, Warren Smith, who taught me to be a playwright.
I owe all of these teachers, and more, the greatest respect, and love, for inspiring me to become a teacher — to inspire the wonderful profession that gave us Socrates, and thousands of other great teachers.
I started my teaching career in the school district of Philadelphia, in the year 1954, and I was paid the sum of $2,800 per year.
The school building that held my classroom burned coal from upstate Pennsylvania, used plywood to replace broken window panes, and had suffered years of neglect, the victim of minuscule budgets. My classroom held forty students, sometimes up to f45 students — often two students had to occupy the same seat and desk. Supplies were scarce.
I had a 30 year career as a teacher: Ten years in Philadelphia, 20 years in Glassboro.
There is no greater calling than teaching: Working to share the knowledge of the world with the next generation; sharing the joy of learning with students — some eager, some reluctant, some quick, some slow — all of them the future — the best that we can be.
Spend a moment reflecting on one of your teachers — show them the respect and love they have so well earned.

Patriots upend University, 50-47
ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio -As the starting quarterback for the Parkersburg South football team for the past three seasons, Tyler Bolen has thrown a lot of passes.
Perhaps none had the impact on South athletics as the one he pulled off in Saturday night's Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 5A championship basketball game against University.
With the Patriots and Hawks tied at 47 and time running out, South's Logan Cox tipped a University pass to Bolen, who called timeout with 2.6 seconds to play.
South set up what it hoped would be the play that would give the Patriots their first OVAC basketball title. Bolen took the ball from the official and saw that Patriot sharpshooter Wes Mitchem was wide open. Bolen quickly fed him the ball and Mitchem drilled a three-pointer that went through the bottom of the basket as the buzzer sounded, setting off a wild celebration on the Patriot bench.
South's thrilling 50-47 victory was the 17th of the season for the fifth-ranked Patriots, and perhaps their biggest win of the campaign.
"We really didn't play all that well," said South coach Mike Fallon. "But we found a way to win. We were down by three with 90 seconds left, but these don't panic. We've played a stretch of pressure-packed games that have prepared them for these situations."
Fallon said Bolen actually told the official before South stole the ball that if it picked off a University pass, it immediately wanted a timeout.
Ironically, South made just two 3-pointers in the game, both by Mitchem, the other coming in the third quarter. His last second heroics were compared on the South radio broadcast to the famous play Christian Laettner made for Duke in an NCAA tournament game against Kentucky. He had just enough time to catch the ball, square up at the basket, and fire off the game-winning shot.
Mitchem led all scorers in the game with 19 points. South also got eight from Bolen, seven from Cody Monroe and six from Cox.
University was led by Travis Tomer, who made four 3-point goals and finished with 14 points.
Coach Fallon said when the Patriots left Brooke after a season-opening loss, he and his assistant coaches wondered how they were going to fix things. As it turns out, Fallon said, that game was the best thing to happen to South, although it certainly didn't seem like it at the time. It woke up the Patriots, who have gone 17-3 since.
South, which closes out its regular season on Thursday night at the Rod Oldham Athletic Center against Belpre, will find out on Monday where it will be seeded in the sectional tournament.

"Pamela Geller wins fight to post anti-Islam signs" Newsday
Published: July 20, 2012 1:36 PM
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An anti-Islam activist has won a preliminary round in her First Amendment fight to place New York City bus ads calling enemies of Israel "savages."
Federal Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan says he agrees with blogger Pamela Geller. He says the Metropolitan Transportation Authority should not have rejected Geller's ad.
Geller is the executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative. She publishes a blog called Atlas Shrugged that warns of growing "Islamization."
The MTA rejected the group's bus ad. Its standard says ads should not demean individuals or groups based on race, religion or other protected categories.
Engelmayer granted a preliminary injunction on Friday barring the MTA from enforcing the standard.
A conference in the case is scheduled for Aug. 29.
The MTA had no immediate response Friday.

Alleged armed robbers caught
The young man taken into custody Tuesday night shortly after a holdup at the Panda Chinese Restaurant, 335 Rose St., has admitted to committing the robbery as well as two others in the city in the last six days, according to city police.
And in Hughesville, a 20-year-old admitted heroin addict was arrested late Wednesday afternoon on charges of allegedly robbing a female clerk at the Uni-Mart on North Main Street on Saturday night
With their guns drawn, city police apprehended Kevin David Lund, 24, of the city, who was found hiding under a parked vehicle in an alley in the 500 block of Cemetery Street about 7:40 p.m.
Officers from several departments swarmed into the neighborhood to look for a suspect who walked out of the restaurant carrying a cash register about 7:15 p.m.. The robber dropped the register at Memorial Avenue and Cemetery Street as he eluded a police officer who was chasing him. All the money still was in the register.
Once in custody, Lund admitted to stealing the register as well as robbing a clerk at Hoby's Hoagies, 1229 W. Fourth St., on Oct 10 and another clerk at the Moon Mart Convenience Store at High Street and Wildwood Boulevard on Sunday afternoon, police said.
Lund automatically was committed to the Lycoming County Prison on a probation violation. He is expected to be arraigned today on charges stemming from the three robberies, police said.
In Hughesville, an anonymous tip helped lead borough police to Bryan Christopher Hall as the primary suspect in the robbery at the convenience store that occurred about 9:30 p.m.
A man wearing a ski mask and armed with a knife walked into the store and approached a clerk, who ran to a back room.
There apparently was good reason the robber wore a mask because store employees were familiar with him and, it turned out, he knew them as well.
As he chased the scared clerk to a back room and then back to the counter, the bandit addressed the clerk by name and told her, "Give me all your money, or I will kill you," according to an an affidavit filed by Patrolman Rod Smith, the department's officer-in-charge.
"The clerk threw the cash register drawer at him," Smith said in an affidavit.
A break in the case came Monday when police received a call telling them to check out Hall who lives on North Main Street in the borough. Not only did the young man fit the description of the robber, but the caller also told investigators that Hall had obtained "a large amount of cash and was out buying drugs with the money," Smith said.
Smith then spoke with the store's assistant manager and asked her if she knew Hall. She not only knew him, but Hall had been in the store on Sunday, the day after the holdup, to buy cigarettes, she told the officer.
Upon reviewing the store's video, Smith realized that the color of the sneakers Hall was wearing when he bought the cigarettes matched the color of the sneakers worn by the robber.
When police questioned him on Wednesday, Hall admitted "he committed the robbery … and that he was hooked on heroin and needed more," Smith said.
Following his arraignment before District Judge James H. Sortman on charges of robbery, aggravated and simple assault, terroristic threats, theft and receiving stolen property, Hall was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $80,000 bail.

Time is running out to register your interest in rehoming a Kaimanawa wild horse.
The annual Department of Conservation Kaimanawa wild horse muster at the end of May plans to remove 179 from its management area on the Waiouru military training area.
The muster is held every two years and the management plan aims to keep herd numbers in the area to 300 to ensure the healthy condition of both the habitat and the horses.
DoC discusses its plans for the muster with the Kaimanawa Wild Horse Advisory Group (KWHAG) represented by the RNZSPCA, Forest & Bird, NZ Veterinary Association, NZ Defence Force, Kaimanawa Heritage Horses (KHH) and the Kaimanawa Wild Horse Preservation Society (KWHPS) which support the department's plans.
DoC works closely with the two re-homing groups - KHH and KWHPS. Elder Jenks from KHH says that, once handled, the Kaimanawa wild horses had exceptional temperaments and were "delightful ponies to interact with".
This year, a Kaimanawa horse, Watch Me Move, won the Pony of the Year Award in showjumping at the prestigious Horse of the Year show.
Anyone interested in obtaining a Kaimanawa wild horse can contact Simone (KHH), firstname.lastname@example.com, phone 09 431 6111; Pauline Kenney (KWHPS), 07 8836708.

Global Marathon Swimming Awards: 2012 WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
There is no physical "award" we will presenting, nor is there any monetary prize. So why should you care? Because these awards represent the respect of peers. This forum has always been for marathon swimmers, by marathon swimmers, and these awards are an extension of that.
There was no campaigning or electioneering for these awards. No voting multiple times. No voting by people who don't know anything about swimming. One forum member... one vote.
Congratulations to the following swimmers, whose peers decided they achieved something truly special in 2012:
Female Solo Swim of the Year
Tina Neill - Unprecedented 52-mile swim from San Clemente Island to the California mainland
Male Solo Swim of the Year
Trent Grimsey - English Channel world record (6 hours, 55 minutes)
The Barra Award for most impressive body of work in 2012, considered as a whole
Grace van der Byl - New Catalina Channel overall world record; new records in all 7 stages (plus overall time) of the 8 Bridges Hudson River Swim
We would like to note that the Barra Award voting was extraordinarily close. Stephen Redmond was the runner-up to Grace by a margin of only two votes.

smith O-H-I-OMemberCongratulations to some amazing people!
Lactate is for wimps.
KNicholas ArizonaCharter MemberWell deserved and I certainly am in awe of their accomplishments. Bravo!
AquaRob Humboldt Bay, CACharter Memberthat's a solid first class of award winners, congrats to Tina, Trent and Gracie!
ForeverSwim Charter MemberVery well deserved awards to you all! CONGRATULATIONS!!
www.darren-miller.com Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania U.S.A.
Tina and Grace are two of the humblest swimmers I know. Neither one would ever boast about their accomplishments despite each having huge bragging rights bestowed on them by their various swims. I am awed by both of them for their perseverance and generosity in the sport of marathon swimming.
Fil The Clubhous, Derby, VermontCharter MemberCongrats to the winners. Congrats to the nominees. And thanks, Evan and Donal for undertaking this. It was inspiring to go through the nominations and see and feel what a remarkable year 2012 has been for open water marathon swimming.
heart San Francisco, CACharter MemberCongratulations to the winners, and to everyone who undertook impressive challenges in the water. What fun to have the time and privilege to do what we love!
Let this represent the conclusion of the 2012 marathon swimming awards "season." A sincere thank-you to everyone who voted or nominated someone. We're still very early into the New Year - but not too early to start thinking about nominees for the 2013 awards!
Remember, any swim that occurred after the conclusion of nominations for one year, is eligible to be nominated for the next year. Let's call this date December 1st.
For example, @Ned Denison's False Bay crossing in the last week of December could be nominated for 2013 (hint, hint!).
Also, if anyone is interested, @Loneswimmer and I recently posted an announcement of these results, with a bit of commentary, on our respective blogs:
Excellent voting mechanism and precautions! The removal of the 'voting machines' makes this award very meaningful especially when you consider it comes directly from their peers who care enough to join the MSF and not from people who really have no clue about any of the candidates but are voting as told by someone promoting their choice.
When will you be accepting 2013 nominations for Ned? That was some swim!
BillShipp MemberCongratulations to all the winners! Inspiring swims by inspirational people!
How much would three plaques cost? I bet you could get some donations from forum members to buy and mail off (if needed) plaques to these three deserving winners.

Well, let me know if you guys want to do the plaque thing.

I guess what I mean to say, Mike, is that if we ever do solicit donations from Forum members, it would be to offset the cost of this website existing on the internet - which makes the Awards possible.
Just based on my own experience, I have more plaques than I have room for - and I was never anywhere near the caliber of swimmer that Tina, Trent, and Gracie are. Those folks could probably fill a room with their plaques and medals! :)
In Dover last year, Trent had been travelling and racing for weeks with limited luggage. He had had to dump some of the trophies he'd won during that time. For those of us who are happy have a single Channel medal or club trophy, it's a different world.
I'd be willing to sponsor this forum for a couple bucks a month. Or, buy my swim gear thru a link or my books and other amazon things thru a sponsored link.
Where the hell is IronMike located? Find out here: https://what3words.com/
We haven't discussed that at all Mike. Any time I've sent out an email to the channel group for example, I've always stressed there and elsewhere such as my blog the non-commercial community aspect of the forum.
On a separate note, here's an extract of an email from Stephen Redmond to me, congratulating Grace:
"I do not swim for awards. But it's nice to be nominated and it's an honour to be among such amazing swimmers. I love Grace, she was my paddler for Catalina and she never have up on me when I was seasick and wanted to give up. She is a great girl and so bloody fast. In the water to be half as fast as her is a dream on mine, but I will keep plodding"
Steve is as always, gracious and self-deprecating.
Sure and I understand. But I feel bad you and Evan are supporting this whole thing and I'm gaining so much from this.

Multnomah county commissioners today voted to continue funneling a business income tax to four cities in east county but said discussions would continue on how to phase out the tax.
County officials notified Gresham, Wood Village, Fairview and Troutdale in June 2006 that they planned in June 2008 to end the 30-year revenue-sharing agreement. City officials were alarmed, since the tax makes up -- depending on the city -- between 7 percent and 10 percent of their general funds and is a key public-safety funding source. Jointly, the cities received $5.9 million in 2006-07, according to the county.
Proposed by Commissioner Lonnie Roberts, the resolution also includes an amendment for a work group to analyze where tax revenue is generated.
Commissioner Lisa Naito, who had proposed taking the tax away from Gresham but keeping it for the three smaller cities, said the county should use it to fund projects such as a treatment facility for people with mental illness, a justice center in east county or the Sellwood Bridge repair.
"I don't view the BIT as a city entitlement," Naito said. "I view it as a county tax levied on businesses for county services."
Commissioners Jeff Cogen and Ted Wheeler both supported phasing out the tax but said the cities need more time to negotiate how.
"If we pull back on those city public-safety expenditures, we're simply going to be picking up the slack through Multnomah County services provided in east county," Wheeler said.
"But," he added, "it would be fiscally irresponsible to sit here and let the BIT run for another 30 years."

The palate is is very fresh and pure, intense and beautifully structured, with a creamy texture, all leading to a pleasant and long finish. The even structure of the blend ensures a very pleasant finish on the palate. Blanc de Blancs is a light and elegant cuvee which beautifully harmonizes intense character and a delicate youthful touch.

Clackamas senior guard Deeshyra Thomas didn't take the typical route to a college basketball scholarship.
Thomas is headed to Weber State not because of her ballhandling or scoring, but because she embraced her identity as a defensive stopper.
"Deeshyra might be the best on-ball defender in the state. She's that good," Tigard coach Steve Naylor said of the 5-foot-8 Thomas.
Long, lean and quick, Thomas is difficult to shake. She has accepted the challenge of guarding the opponent's best perimeter player since her freshman season, when her tasks included a matchup against explosive Franklin guard Shoni Schimmel.
"End to end she's fast, but I don't think I've ever seen somebody that can move sideways like she can," Clackamas coach Todd Lane said of Thomas, who is averaging a team-high 11.8 points per game for the seventh-ranked Cavaliers (5-0). "She can turn and go in the opposite direction at the drop of a hat."
Lane said that Thomas has the rare ability to make the opposing ballhandler change direction several times when bringing the ball out of the backcourt.
"She was always a pretty good defender when she came in as a freshman, and she kind of took to that role," Lane said. "Four years later, she's kind of built herself on it, and to be perfectly honest, that's why she's going to play Division I basketball. She realized that it could take her places just as easily as scoring the ball."
