SUNRISE, Fla. — The last meeting between the Devils and Florida Panthers was on the minds of both teams.
Back on Nov. 21 at the BankAtlantic Center the Devils had a 3-0 lead but wound up losing the game, 4-3.
"I think we have to play 60 minutes. We got off to a good start and sat on it," said goalie Martin Brodeur, who played that game and was set to start tonight's rematch.
"What's tough with them is they have three good puck-moving defensemen. It's more than their forwards. That's a dimension maybe they didn't have before."
It was a big game for the Panthers.
"We started that game well. We played well the first 7-8 minutes. Then all of a sudden the wave of Devils talent really came at us," coach Kevin Dineen recalled. "I think that was one of those games we really felt strongly that we could come back. Our team was confident and playing well.
"That was a real character builder for our team. It was certainly one of the games that sticks out so far this year on the positive side. We don't want to play that formula too often where you get down by three and have to scratch and claw to get your way back. But it certainls makes for a quality matchup moving into tonight's game."
Dineen's squad has played well all season. They haven't lost more than two games in a row in regulation time, but they are coming off a 6-1 loss to the Rangers at the Garden.
"A lot is going on. You get in the holiday season and people are thinking about things away from the rink. It will be good to get a focus here in our own building," Dineen said.
New York was a distraction.
"You catch a team coming off a road game and they played a good game in Buffalo and then came and spanked very good at home," Dineen said of the Rangers. "Sometimes you take your beating and you move on. I think there were a lot of things we picked up that have crept into our game over the last two weeks. It makes it a lot easier to address when you get a whooping like that.
"We were not very strong on the puck and they took advantage of us. We've always prideed ourselves on having a lot of speed. It seems like we were in the bus lane instead of in the far left. When a team is coming at you like that you like to respond with your own speed and we didn't do that."
And yet he enjoyed the trip to New York.
"You walk away from it after losing as badly as we did in New York after really a great day and a half," Dineen reflected. "There is some balance in life and we really enjoyed everything that New York City has to offer around the holiday season. Then you end up with a pretty good tail-kicking there.
"There is some enthusiasm around here for Panther hockey and we want to continue that with our performance on the ice."
Jose Theodore was in goal against the Rangers, as he will be against the Devils.
"He's the right guy for the job," Dineen said. "He's played extremely well for us and given us a chance to win every night. He threw a stinker at us, like the rest of the crew, the other night. Now you rebound and come back."

©2013 This excerpt taken from the article of the same name which appeared in ASHRAE Journal, vol. 55, no. 12, December 2013.
By Louise Smith, P.Eng., Associate Member ASHRAE
About the Author
Louise Smith, P.Eng., is a project manager at AME Consulting Group in Victoria, BC, Canada. She is a member of ASHRAE's Vancouver Island Chapter.
When Vancouver Island University (VIU) replaced its existing Cowichan Campus building in Duncan, BC, Canada, its focus was on sustainability. Key features of the project include a high-efficiency, centralized mechanical system and a high-performance building envelope and lighting design. The building also uses natural and displacement ventilation strategies to reduce the demand on the central plant.
The 44,500 ft2 (4134 m2) building contains teaching and library spaces, computer and science labs, a health lab, offices, boardrooms and a cafeteria. The new Cowichan Campus building was completed in June 2011.
VIU's sustainability policy mandates that all new developments achieve a LEED Canada—New Construction Gold certification. Therefore, the new building was designed to significantly exceed ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004.
The central heating and cooling plant for the new building is a modular 60 ton (211 kW) high-efficiency water-to-water heat pump, which is connected to a vertical closed loop geo-exchange field. The ground source heat pump system provides heat in the winter and is used as a heat sink in the summer to provide cooling to the building while recharging the geo-exchange field. The near constant temperature of the ground, coupled with the loop field design, provide a steady source of heat and a sink for heat rejection throughout the year.
For the Cowichan Campus building, there are three 20 ton (70 kW) modules each with dual compressors that allow efficient staging under part-load conditions. Formation thermal conductivity testing was performed during the schematic stages of the project design to confirm the ground conditions were suitable and provide essential data for the loop field design. The Cowichan Campus geo-exchange field consists of 96 boreholes spaces at 15 ft (4.5 m) centers, each drilled to a depth of 115 ft (35 m) and located under the landscaped wetlands behind the building.
The geo-exchange field was sized to provide 100% of the peak design building cooling load, which was equal to 67% of the peak design heating load. Analysis of the annual heating and cooling degree days for this climatic location, indicated that this would be sufficient to heat the building for more than 90% of the year, which provides an optimum payback period. The additional heating load is supplied by two high-efficiency condensing boilers.
To provide additional energy savings, the central water-to-water heat pumps were piped for simultaneous heating and cooling, without the use of the geo-exchange field. This occurs twice a year during shoulder seasons when the north-facing spaces require heating, but the south-facing spaces need cooling. This design strategy uses a single heat pump unit to satisfy both the heating and cooling load by transferring the excess heat from one zone to another. This is the most efficient mode of operation for the water-to-water heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 7.1.
Throughout the building, in-floor radiant piping distributes the heating and cooling from the central plant. This is a quiet and efficient method of delivering thermal comfort to the building and its occupants. The radiant system utilizes low temperature hot water, approximately 110°F (43°C), for the heating season and relatively high temperature chilled water, approximately 65°F (18°C), for the cooling season. This complements the ideal operating temperatures of the ground source heat pump system. By using the radiant slab as the primary source of heating and cooling, the size of the air-distribution system was significantly reduced, which provided both capital cost and fan energy savings.
ASHRAE advances the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. With more than 55,000 members from over 132 nations, ASHRAE is a diverse organization representing building system design and industrial processes professionals around the world.

Tigers have announced RHP Bruce Rondon's contract is being transferred from Erie to Toledo.
September call up is the next step.
JV last 20.0 innings pitched
1-2, ERA 4.05, 16Ks
lets turn it around JV!
Nova's past 5 games aren't very good either tho
Let's hope Ivan isn't a super Nova tonight. I hope the Tigers can put some of his pitches into outer space. JV has to get straightened.
Jim doesn't have to do an "either/or" with Berry, meaning that Q can hit 9th also. I like Dirks hitting second. It is very true that Berry isn't doing the things than make him…well…..Berry. Whether that's him or JL or a combination, no idea.
than= that. One wrong letter and the entire sentence is shot to hall.
Rich, IDK if I could trust a Dirks, Berry and AJ OF, defensively.
jk of course
bounce back game for JV against this talented Yanks lineup. Be nice to win this series
While JV's era is still very good, he has been anything but dominate recently, but really at certain times this year. I certainly don't count on him these days, it's a crap shoot.
We knew JV would not repeat the type of year we witnessed in 2011 but he has reverted back to 2010 and being a thrower and not a pitcher. It seems like the A/S game was a jump start to his sub standard 2nd half this year. The Yanks will work JV on the pitch counts in the early innings and try to get their pitch vs his pitch. If JV can go (last) 7 IP tonight and keep the Tigs in the game, we could get a W to start the series. If he just wouldn't be so obsessed with leading the league in K's. Here's hoping we can score some runs off Nova too!
yea – don't try to be max, justin. :p
I think it would be unfair to expect JV to be what he was last year, but he's been almost pedestrian as of late. He can and should do better than this.
JV, there you have a good start, 9 pitches in the 1st inn. Now lets see if they can grind out some AB's vs. Nova.
The Tigers did launch some rockets off Nova and then followed up with a really nice hits inning. JV looked serious tonight about doing a good job. His own error cost him a possible shutout. I am beginning to worry about over-working him. 130+ pitches is a bit risky. I'd like him to be around many years without any arm troubles.

Ferries rerouted for canal project
HOOD CANAL Temporary passenger-only ferry services scheduled for the 2009 Hood Canal Bridge project will no longer be routed to Port Gamble.
The current preferred site for the passenger-only service is four miles south of the bridge in the Lofall neighborhood, said Becky Hixson, spokesperson for the Hood Canal Bridge Project. WSDOT has met with the Lofall community but will not have any more formal meetings, Hixson said.
Many seem in favor of the potential passenger dock, she said. There wont be a lot of traffic in and out. There will be buses to pick up and drop off passengers but that is the only new traffic the neighborhood will see.
According to a press release from Washington State Department of Transportation, the decision stems from environmental concerns for Port Gamble Bay.
Hixson said a joint evaluation by the Port Gamble SKlallam Tribe, Department of Natural Resources and Department of Ecology determined the bay quality not suitable to withstand the additional ferry traffic.
Because of the history with the sawmill, there is a lot of accumulation of wood chips and debris, said Russ McMillan, Puget Sound initiative coordinator for Department of Ecology. The site where the passenger ferry dock was proposed is fairly shallow and the boats could disturb the settlement there.
Doug Quade, Chief Executive Officer for the Port Gamble SKlallam Tribe, said the site didnt make a lot of sense to be routed out of Port Gamble.
Why wouldnt you go straight across, like the bridge does, instead of traveling three times the distance to Port Gamble? Quade said.
Hixson said the environmental design and timeline has yet to be evaluated but the change of ferry venues won't postpone the bridges reconstruction.
We are working as hard as we can, she said. We are definitely going to meet our May through June closure date for the six-week project.

The Muskegon County Parks and Recreation Division and Michigan Department of Natural Resources worked with State Rep. Holly Hughes, R-Montague, to install the phones after the 2012 summer drownings of 18-year-old Iisaiah Townsel of Montague, and Justin Pitz, 18, of Fruitland Township.
Hughes, in a press release, said the cell phone service in that area is unreliable and she pushed to have the emergency phones installed there after attending Townsel's funeral.
Frontier Communications has installed the phones in weatherproof boxes that connect to Muskegon County's central emergency line with the push of a single button.
The phones are installed along both beaches in the park, with one along the walkway near the Duck Lake side of the channel, and the other off Scenic Drive overlooking Lake Michigan.
Soon blue strobe lights to make the phones easily will be active as well. Hughes said the park and recreation division is also is working to set up a direct phone line to the park's entrance booth in the near future.
Townsel, who drowned July 8, and Pitz, who drowned there on June 29, both drowned in what Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler described as the "boating channel."
The body of water in the boating channel, located between Duck Lake and the small shallow stream-like channel that dumps into Lake Michigan, is deceptively deep. Both young men who drowned there weren't familiar with its dangers.
The men in both cases started at the south point of the boating channel and were heading toward a canoe and kayak launch on the other side. It isn't clear what caused either victim to drown.

Heidfeld Confirmed As Kubica's Replacement
ENSTONE, England — Nick Heidfeld has been confirmed as injured driver Robert Kubica's replacement with Lotus Renault during the 2011 Formula One World Championship.
The 33-year-old German has started 172 races over the last 11 seasons. He will race alongside Lotus Renault teammate Vitaly Petrov when the new season begins March 13 at the Bahrain Int'l Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain.
"I would have liked to come back to Formula One in different circumstances, but I'm proud to have been given this chance," said Heidfeld, who was evaluated by the team during a test session in Jerez, Spain, last week. "Everything has happened so quickly, but I've been very impressed by what I have seen so far in terms of the facilities and the dedication of the people at Enstone.
"I really enjoyed the test last week in Jerez and I've already settled in well with the guys at the track. I have a good feeling for the car, which is quite innovative. I'm extremely motivated and can't wait for the season to begin."
"The team has been through a very difficult couple of weeks and we had to react quickly. We gave Nick a chance in Jerez last week and he really impressed us," said Lotus Renault team principal Eric Boullier. "He's quick, experienced and is very strong technically with his feedback and understanding of the car.
Kubica, who has one Formula One triumph in his career, was injured in a crash during the Ronde di Andora Rally in Italy Feb. 6, suffering multiple fractures to his right arm and right leg.

When to Wear Hiking Boots or Hiking Shoes
You are looking for new outdoor kicks, and your Pavlovian hiker's instinct points you toward boots. Except you start researching and suddenly the options fall like an avalanche: hiking boots, expedition hikers, GORE-Tex and plastic shells, day hikers (medium- and low-top), trail runners, approach shoes, trail runners, those funkly Vibram Five Toe almost-barefoot rubber hybrids... .
Deep breaths. We'll get ya through.
Basically, the lighter and more comfortable the shoe, the less tired you'll get on the trail. The rule of thumb (not to mix metaphors) is that every pound you wear on your feet translates to at least triple the weight in your pack. A pair of lightweight hiking shoes generally weighs in at under two pounds per pair, while a heavy-duty pair of leather boots weighs around five pounds a pair. Stick a ten-pound bag of sugar in your backpack and walk around the neighborhood. Then take it out. That's the difference a pair of shoes can make in energy expended over several miles. It's not rocket science—the more weight on your feet, the more energy required with each step.
For casual walks in the backcountry, almost any well-built tennis shoe with a rugged tread will suffice. However, consider a modern day hiking shoe designed specifically for trail use. Key features include high-friction rubber soles that grip, not slip, and an aggressive tread. Hiking shoes have a somewhat thicker, stiffer midsole than running shoes, so they provide better protection and support for your feet, and day hikers also come with a bit of hard-rubber armor around the forefoot and the toe—fantastic protection from stubbing your toes when you miss a protruding rock on the trail. If you are walking in wet conditions, consider a shoe with a waterproof/breathable inner liner. Synthetic mesh uppers are lighter than leather, and are fine for most casual hikes, although leather sheds water better and is generally more durable. Many hiking shoes have reinforced toe rands, so they offer more protection than traditional tennis shoes. Trail runners take durability down a notch, sacrificing the bulky protective elements in day hikers for weight savings. Oh, and the term day hiker is something of a misnomer—for lighter weekend outings when your packs weights less than 45 pounds, hiking shoes make for a sane alternative to Hummer-style hiking boots.
If you are hiking with a heavy pack (50-plus pound), kicking steps in the snow, ice climbing, or navigating variable terrain like scree, then consider a high-top hiking or mountaineering boot. They have the advantage of a stiff sole (in case you need crampons), additional ankle support, and extra foot protection in rocky terrain.
Best advice? Go with what works. If you've got weak ankles, boots seem like a sensible option. Carrying little weight and consider yourself sure-footed, perhaps nothing more than a light pair of sneakers (as many AT thru hikers can attest). Day hiking daredevil with strong feet? Embrace the barefoot running movement with one of the minimalist shoes on the market. It ain't necessarily what's right...it's what's right for you.
Buying Tips:
Your feet swell as the day goes on, so try on new footwear with that in mind—a perfect fit in the a.m. might translate into an uncomfortable fit six hours after you set out. And remember that the sock you wear is critically important. When you shop for a new boot or shoe, bring along the socks you intend to wear on your excursion. Sock technology (fibers and knitting technique) has made incredible advancements in the past decade. Avoid cotton; stick with synthetic, wool, or other natural fibers. And those susceptible to blisters should also consider a sock liner—a thin sock you wear between your feet and your thicker hiking socks, which offers another barrier to the friction that typically forces you to bust out the mole skin.

With the open contact period in full swing, the LSU staff has been vigorously searching for the final pieces of its 2013 class. The staff has been extremely active since the season's end, visiting multiple schools in their respective recruiting areas.
While making his rounds through Florida, Defensive backs coach Corey Raymond checked in on current commitment, Rashard Robinson, as well as a prospect who has recently expressed interest in LSU and now sits atop its wish list.
Southridge (Fla.) safety Jamal Carter, who committed to Miami over the summer, hasn't been talked about much, but continued to quietly appear on the Tigers' radar. Carter's commitment hasn't stopped LSU, which desperately needs to add a safety to the class, from pursuing the 6-foot-1, 195-pound prospect.
Raymond had an in-home visit with Carter this past weekend, and according to sources, it went very well. Carter was very high on the Tigers prior to his commitment to the Hurricanes, but wasn't able to make it to Baton Rouge for a visit.
Now he may get his chance.
Carter, according to sources, arranged an official visit to LSU for Dec. 14, and will accompany fellow Miami native and LSU prospect, University School's Maquedius Bain.
It's widely known throughout South Florida that Carter is a Hurricane fan. However, the looming NCAA investigation has he and his family worried.
If Carter follows through with his official visit to LSU, it could put the Tigers in good position to earn his commitment. LSU hasn't scheduled many visitors that weekend, so there will be plenty of one-on-one time with the staff, which has a long history of wooing recruits late in the year.

Are you ready for Cyber Monday? Are you sure? Go over this checklist to make sure you're prepared for shopping online and snagging deals today and Monday.
In fact many deals and stores start their online sales today.
Retailers are touting Cyber Week, moving past Monday. This can be a great time for savvy web shoppers to score deals and maybe even complete their holiday shopping lists.
Before you log in and hit add to cart take some precautions first:
Password -- Protect yourself and your accounts. It's recommended in cyberspace to change your password every three months. Changing passwords often and creating strong passwords that do not involve birth dates etc. is essential when protecting your online profiles.
Secure shopping -- Look for the 's' in the address when you get ready to pay for your purchase, for example: https:// means you are using a secure site. If the 's' is missing do not proceed to payment.
Alternative pay methods -- I prefer Paypal when shopping online, it affords you some protection as a buyer. You may also have a pre-loaded gift card for the specific amount you intend to spend, instead of using debit or credit cards.
Virus protection -- Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date and working efficiently. You never know when a site or ad may have malware.
While all of this sounds scary, don't be afraid to shop online. Familiarize yourself with the retailers you plan to visit, know their return policies and register for coupons.

Carrera In, Inciarte Out
The Phillies believe they have found a more suitable fifth outfielder than Rule 5 Draft pick Ender Inciarte.
Today they claimed outfielder Ezequiel Carrera off waivers. He hit .272 with six doubles, three triples, two home runs, 11 RBIs, eight stolen bases and a .707 OPS in 158 plate appearances last season with the Indians. The Phillies designated Inciarte for assignment to make room for Carrera on the 40-man roster.
Carrera, 25, is expected to be with the Phillies in time for Wednesday's game against the Braves at Turner Field.
"He's got a little more experience," Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "Offensively, he's a little more advanced than Inciarte right now. Inciarte may have been a little better all-around defender, although we think Ezequiel's got more speed. But his versatility and speed were important to us. Again, this is the 25th man, but we think we've marginally improved."
The Phillies selected Inciarte in the Rule 5 Draft from the Diamondbacks. He impressed with his glove and speed early in Spring Training, although a couple errors late last month convinced the Phillies they needed more seasoned help in the outfield, especially considering Inciarte had never played above Class A in the Minor Leagues.
Because Inciarte, who did not play in Monday's season opener, is a Rule 5 pick, the Phillies were required to keep him on the 25-man roster the entire season or risk losing him. If a team claims Inciarte off waivers they also must keep him on the 25-man roster the entire season. But if he clears waivers, the Diamondbacks have the option of bringing him back, although they would have to pay the Phillies $25,000, half of what the Phillies paid to select him in the draft.
"We didn't like the idea of having to lose Inciarte as a result of this," Amaro said. "But this is part of the game."
The Diamondbacks are expected to reclaim Inciarte, although Amaro said they will try to work out a trade.
Indians manager Terry Francona said during Spring Training they knew they would lose Carrerra, who can play all three outfield positions, if they placed him on waivers.
"His speed impacts the game," he said last month. "He's got the ability to hit the ball out of the ballpark occasionally. He can be an interesting part of the bench, when he can change a game with his speed. He's a good little player."

That was fast.
Same guy, with a lot more experience.and a little more pop. Still just a 25th man.
But the Phillies need to catch it on the fringes this year if they are going to catch it at all.
Sneaky little pickup by the Phils. I liked this guy in the limited time I saw him. Tremendous speed and defense, and Growing into a little bit of pop. Not a bad guy to have as a 5th outfielder. He stays when Mayberry, mercifully, gets sent down.
Good move. Hope we can still keep Inciarte.

This week, the A-List Blogging Bootcamp began their six-week camp on writing like an A-List Blogger. The first week is free, and it details how to use personal stories to enhance your blog and make your posts more interesting.
But sometimes retelling personal stories can be tricky. Have you ever been involved in a scenario that was so hilarious that you had to tell everyone? And then when you retold it, nobody laughed? And your story ended "you had to have been there"? I know I have.
Because an anecdote is so personal, the funny part you experienced is lost in translation when the story's retold. That's why you need to take care when you reuse a funny story. Here are four quick tips to use when using funny anecdotes in a post or article:
1. Return to setup and punchline. Now, thinking in terms of setup and punchline doesn't mean you have to add more witty remarks. Think of it in terms of paragraphs - here's your basic point, here's what happened directly as a result. Keep it scannable.
2. Only include the essential information. Especially if you're adding extra remarks. Laying out the information the reader needs to understand will help enforce the funny conclusion.
3. Keep up a fast pace. Hit point after point in quick succession, especially if you're writing for the internet. Moreso if you do decide to add jokes.
4. Use an active voice. Don't just describe events. Have the people in your story talk. Express your own thoughts at the time. Write it like its own little story so the reader can play it out in their mind.
With some fine-tuning, any anecdote can be retold and stay just as hilarious as when you originally experienced it. You readers won't "have to have been there" - they can live it for themselves.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Take something unexpected and funny that's happened to you and break it down into a written format. Keep it moving. Add jokes if you wish, but strive to capture the original feel of the story.

Hey Matt! See I'm not the only one blogging about my A-List experiences. I'm not doing the bootcamp (ssh!) because the writing side is where I think I know what I'm doing…I'm in the Club for all the tech blog-monetizing tips and how to build courses that sell, launch products…all that kind of stuff. Learning a TON.
I could improve my writing a little bit, but my own main goal is to make connections and promote my site more. Good luck on your end!

Hallo all, Just wondering, in the book by Andre Lamoth, a bitmap loading function is given. It seems to work fine, but when i unload the first bitmap after displaying it, whatever, I can''t load another one - there isn''t enough memory. I''ve scanned through the code and there isn''t a leak that my inexperience C++ brain can detect, but has anyone else experienced this and/or discovered a solution. Or has anyone else got a bitmap loader that''s reliable and easy to use (and free, preferably...) thanks for your help... wiseGuy

Use the ddutil bitmap loaders that come with direct x you can find them in the directories folder. There are two versions DDLoadBitmap and DDReLoadBitmap, there almost the same except DDReLoadBitmap loads a bitmap straight into a surface. Later.

*Tulane athletic department release
Tulane's 14th-ranked golf team begins its 72-hole march toward the national championship on Tuesday at 11:58 a.m. CST when it opens NCAA Championship play at the University of Georgia Golf Course in Athens, Georgia.
The University of Georgia is the host site of this year's national championships and the four-day event will run Tuesday-Friday, May 21-24, and features 24 teams and six individuals. The top eight teams from each regional and two individuals not on the qualifying teams will compete in the NCAA finals. All participants will compete throughout the entire 72 holes of championship competition.
Tulane will join golfers from Oklahoma and Purdue for the first two rounds. Each team posted a second place finish in their respective region and the groups will begin the opening round from the first tee on Tuesday and from the 10th tee for Wednesday's second round, beginning at 7:25 a.m. (CST).
Live results from the entire championship, as well as live streaming of holes 17 and 18 during the final two rounds of competition, can be found online at www.ncaa.com. Additionally, highlights and a recap of play will be provided after competition concludes on Thursday and Friday, May 23-24.
Fans can also check the official website of Tulane Athletics: www.TulaneGreenWave.com for daily recaps, video and photos from each round, or follow the team for live updates on Twitter: @GreenWaveWGolf.
"Playing the national championships was one of our goals when we started the season, so obviously we are excited to be here," Tulane head coach Andrew Pratt said. "This week, we will continue the same routine that got us here. We want to play our game and remain extremely focused and determined. One of our biggest tests this week for the team is to just control our emotions. We have two practice rounds and four rounds of golf so it's a long week and the longest event we will play this year.
"We are playing solid golf right now and this week will come down to hitting good approach shots into the green and continue to putt well. That will be huge for us on this course. Once again our goal will be to play in the last group during the final round as we have done in every tournament this spring," Pratt added.
Tulane has once again advanced to the pinnacle of women's collegiate golf as the Green Wave is making its fourth all-time appearance in the NCAA Championships field, including its third in the last five years.
Tulane is making its fourth appearance in the NCAA Championships field and its first since back-to-back trips in 2009 and 2010. TU made its first appearance in 2005 and finished 15th, the best effort at the event. The Wave posted a 20th place finish in 2009 and an 18th place effort in its last appearance in 2010.
Tulane, champions of Conference USA, joins a field of 24 at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Along with the Green Wave, this year's Championships participants include Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Duke, Florida, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Northwestern, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Purdue, San Jose State, South Carolina, Stanford, Texas, UC Davis, UCLA, USC, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.
The Green Wave notched a runner-up finish in the NCAA East Regional, which was the school's best finish in 10 regional appearances. Tulane shot a school 54-hole record 12-under 852 total at the regional.
TU has finished among the top five teams in all six spring tournaments and eight out of 10 events this spring, and its golfers have played in the last group on the final day in all six spring tournaments.
The Green Wave enters the NCAA Championships with four golfers ranked among the nation's Top-100 players by GolfWeek.com, including freshman Emily Penttila: #48; senior Maribel Lopez Porras: #55; freshman Madison Opfer: #84; sophomore Gemma Dryburgh: #87.
Porras leads the team with a 73.38 scoring average, the best single-season effort in school history, while Penttila currently holds the best average by a freshman in the TU annals with a 73.55 average, and Opfer is third with a 74.17 average. Dryburgh is fourth with a 74.31 average, while Garces rounds out the line-up with a 76.03 average.
TU's five golfers in the line-up for the NCAA Championships each own a Top-5 finish this season and all five have at least four rounds of par or better this season.
The University of Georgia Golf Course will host the 24-team, six individual 2013 NCAA Championships field. The par-72, 6,372-yard course was designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1968.
Alabama is the defending champion after capturing its first-ever national title in women's golf with a 1-stroke win over runner-up USC, while Chirapat Jao-Javanil of Oklahoma won the individual title at the Vanderbilt Legends Course in Franklin, Tenn.

St. Bernard Parish Historian Bill Hyland becomes very animated when talking history, especially Islenos history. As director of Los Islenos Heritage Museum and Multi-Cultural Park, he is quick to share his knowledge of the people who arrived in St. Bernard Parish from the Canary Islands from 1778 to 1783. Hyland is proud of the progress made in the recovery process post-Katrina, but said there is still much to be done.
The museum complex, located at 1345-1357 Bayou Road in St. Bernard community, is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., except for federal holidays. Hyland or a member of his staff, such as Cecile "Celie" Robin, will bring history alive to you as they give you a tour of the museum's Islenos exhibit and the surrounding grounds and buildings. Robin, wife of the late Charles Robin Jr., adds stories of her introduction to life as a St. Bernard fisherman's wife back in the 1940's, which make the tour personal and relevant.
Although the Islenos were sent to several parishes in Louisiana, the relative isolation of St. Bernard Parish was more conducive to the preservation of Islenos culture. The Los Islenos Heritage and Cultural Society was established in 1976 to assure that the history and culture would not be lost in modern times. From their efforts, the Islenos museum and park became a reality.
Historic buildings that have been moved to the park include the Estopinal House with its free-standing kitchen, built in the 1780s, and the Coconut Island Barroom, a 1920 cypress board and batten structure. The original museum house was built about 1840 and was donated by the Molero family. Though the building was completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it has been faithfully restored. The trapper's cabin, also destroyed by Katrina, has been rebuilt and refurnished. The Cresap-Caserta and Esteves houses complete the historic house collection.
Hyland said the restoration continues in other areas as well.
"We plan to put period furniture and dcor in the Estopinal house," he said, creating a house museum to give visitors a sense of life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Hyland said one goal of the Islenos Heritage Society is to include exhibits that represent people from other cultures, such as Cajun and Filipino, who hunted, fished and farmed alongside the Islenos.
The complex also includes the Ducros Library, a research library that holds such valuable resources as passenger lists of the ships that brought the Islenos to Louisiana, and publications by the St. Bernard Genealogical Society to help Islenos descendants trace their ancestry. Although the library with its exhibit of art and photography is part of the museum tour, access to its archives for research is available by appointment only. Call 504.277.4681 to make an appointment to use the library, or to schedule a private tour of the museum complex during off hours.
Available for rental, the multipurpose building is perfect for such events as a wedding or reunion. Rental fees begin at $350 for events without alcohol for 10 to 100 people. The addition of alcohol, the Coconut Island Barroom, the picnic pavilion, or more guests increase the rental fee. Follow the link on the website at www.losislenos.org/ to access the Lease Agreement for more information. The rental includes use of a fully equipped kitchen and custodial services. Call Blaine Moncrief at 504.523.2245 to rent the facility.
I encourage all San Bernardinos to visit the peaceful surroundings of Los Isle–os Heritage Museum and Multi-Cultural Park on Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs. Many of you will find that their history is your history.

College follow-up inspection report published
The Church of England today publishes the follow-up inspection report on one of its ministerial training colleges: Wycliffe Hall. Follow-up reports summarize what action has been taken in response to the recommendations made in the earlier inspection report.
The Church has a long track record of ensuring the quality of the initial training of its clergy by regular inspection of its training institutions. Theological colleges and part-time training courses are inspected every five years by teams of inspectors appointed by the bishops of the Church of England. Where training is delivered ecumenically, Church of England inspectors work in partnership with teams from the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church and the Baptist Union.
The report published today can be read by clicking on the link to latest reports here.
In October 2008 the Church of England put in place a series of measures to develop its approach to inspection. The main features are:
• In common with other walks of life, to publish inspection reports to inform dioceses, students and other interested parties of the standards being achieved in training institutions and to continue to raise the standard of training;
• To align the outcomes of inspection broadly with those used in Higher Education. From now on, inspections will result in the outcome of 'confidence', 'confidence with qualifications' or 'no confidence'.
• To devote more senior staff time to the support of inspection teams, offering enhanced training and support for inspection teams and better quality assurance for the whole process.
A full description of the standards for 'confidence', 'confidence with qualifications' and 'no confidence' is given at the beginning of each report. The first two designations mean that the inspectors regard the institution as having a good standard in its training. In the first, 'confidence', institutions generally show good or very good standards with a limited number of recommendations. In the second, the standards are generally good but there are areas to address. If the outcome is 'no confidence', then there will be major areas to address within a specified timetable.

Newman at Riverside has been circled on many prep fans calendars since the schedules were announced and the way the two schools are playing right now, the game could get downright offensive.
Wait, Hank Brady made that reference in his preview story on the game? That's OK, let me try this again then.
Riverside's response when the Greenies enter the field will be simple Thursday night –Hello, Newman.
Seriously? Jim Derry made that reference in his New Orleans-area rankings that had Newman as the No. 2 small school in the area and Riverside at No. 3? Well, well, well.
This game doesn't need any more clichés or catchphrases but if you like offense, this is a game you're going to need to come out and watch.
Newman's offense was outstanding last season behind the arm and legs of quarterback Jay Tyler, who was named the NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune Small Schools Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore.
The Greenies have picked up even more this season with junior running back Kendall Bussey added to the mix. Bussey has 680 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns this season while Tyler has thrown for 1,152 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Riverside answers with one of the top passing games in the area led by sophomore quarterback Deuce Wallace who has 1,205 yards and 16 touchdowns this season.
So with all that said this one will come down to … defense. That's right. Look for Riverside's Joe Anderson to have a big game in this one as the Rebels pull this one out in the end.
Prediction: Riverside 45, Newman 42
McMain 28, Lusher 20: Omari Jones will not throw three interceptions again even though the Lions are tougher than they have been in recent years. The Mustangs get back on track with a victory in this one.
Easton 40, McDonogh 35 32: The Roneagles may be the best under .500 team in the state right now as they own a victory against St. Paul's and a forfeit loss to Lutcher, a game they originally won 36-0. Unfortunately, Easton's offense is just too powerful to be stopped right now.
St. Paul's 35, Northshore 20: Guess I was a little off last week in picking against St. Paul's huh? Sorry Wolves fans. I believe. And I expect the winning ways to continue this week led by the rushing-receiving skills of the High School Darren Sproles, a.k.a. Marcus Gaines.
St. Thomas Aquinas 30, Northlake Christian 27: Josh O'Rear and the Wolverines are out to prove that they are for real against a traditionally strong unit in St. Thomas Aquinas, who is coming off of an impressive 34-20 win against Hannan last week. However, the Falcons have just enough to pull this one out.
East St. John 28, Hahnville 17: The Wildcats had perhaps one of the toughest three-game stretches to open the season in the state but have found a rhythm in the last three weeks in evening up their record. Their winning ways will continue this week in a tough district matchup.
West Jefferson 38, Higgins 18: Coach Marcus Scott's Buccaneers look to be on a collision course with Ehret for a Week 10 showdown to decide District 8-5A — if the West Jefferson defense doesn't revert back to its Week 1 or 2 form.
Landry-Walker 32, Belle Chasse 17: The Charging Buccaneers were close to upsetting rival Karr last weekend and this week the stout defense turns its eyes to the potent Cardinals offense led by Tulane commitment Terren Encalade. However, Landry-Walker will be out to make a statement after letting a victory slip through its hands last week.
St. Charles 24, De La Salle 14: The Comets are happy to not be playing Curtis while the Cavaliers are happy to have a victory after topping McMain last week. De La Salle's Luke Kelly and the defense will need to replicate their performance against Omari Jones this week if they hope to come away with a victory, but the Comets will come away with the victory after a tough defeat.
St. Augustine 35, Rummel 21: Hopefully, inadvertent whistles won't mar this game again.
Last week's record: 7-3
Overall: 47-13

MOBILE, Alabama – A judge Wednesday denied "youthful offender" status for a teenager accused of shooting another teen, while a stalker got a double-life sentence for harassing his ex-wife.
Kendall Delano Howard, 16, stands charged with attempted murder. Police allege that he shot another teenager on July 8 on Alethea Drive in Mobile. Mobile County Circuit Judge Ben Brooks ruled Wednesday that Howard will be tried as a full-fledged adult.
In another case, Judge James Wood sentenced Shawn Derrick Franklin, 31, to back-to-back life prison terms for stalking and second-degree burglary. Those offenses rarely bring such harsh punishment, but Franklin had five prior felony convictions.
Prosecutor Keith Blackwood called for the longest-possible prison term because of the defendant's record and testimony at a trial last month indicating that Franklin made repeated threatening phone calls to his ex-wife for weeks in 2011.
In October of that year, according to testimony, Franklin kicked in the door of the woman's home and assaulted her.Follow @BrendanKKirby

EWING — A group of people were robbed by an armed man on Brookside Avenue Friday evening but were reluctant to help with the investigation, police said.
The man approached the group outside a house on the 100 block of Brookside Avenue at about 6 p.m. and pulled a handgun, police said.
A fight broke out, a punch was thrown and some money taken, police said. That vague account came from a neighbor who approached officers after the victims were not forthcoming with information, according to police.
The neighbor said the suspect ran down the street on foot, got into a car and fled.
Anyone with information is asked to call the township police tip line at (609) 882-7430.

Oswego, NY -- Parts of Oswego, Jefferson and Lewis counties are expected to have 6 to 10 inches of snow on the ground by the time the lake effect storm now dumping on them winds up, the National Weather Service says.
As of 6:15 a.m., a band of "marginally intense lake effect snow" stretched from just north of the city of Oswego east through Palermo to Redfield, said Steve McLaughlin, a Weather Service forecaster in Buffalo.
That band is expected to begin lifting northward about 8 a.m., he said. A lake effect snow warning for the three northern counties is set to expire at 4 p.m.
Light snow also is falling around Syracuse, Ithaca and Cortland. That's expected to continue into the latter part of the afternoon but should not produce more than an inch of snow, said Priscilla Nicosia of the Binghamton National Weather Service office.
The southerly snowfall is also a lake effect event, but it's coming off Lake Erie, not Lake Ontario, and doesn't contain much moisture, she said.
Another lake effect storm is expected to set up over Oswego County on Thursday night, McLaughlin said.

Ever since we posted Shira and Loren's DIY envelope liners and etched mirror, I've been seeing family trees pop up everywhere!
A cool twist to the traditional route, this project provides your guests with a fun activity during the cocktail hour and becomes a lasting keepsafe for you.
Start with an oversized print of your tree without guest names on it. Setup a few different stamp-pads. You can either do a range of colors that matches your wedding color or shades of green, mimicing natural leaves. Also place a grouping of matching pens inside a pretty vase or vintage drinking glass.
Leave a small sign asking guests to imprint their thumb onto a branch and use the pens to add their name to identify their thumbprint. Be sure to encourage randomness to make the final design organic and fun!
To keep the project tidy, provide a basket of small moist toilettes in easy to use individual packets.
If you're not the DIY type, check out Etsy Lovliday - she offers signs and blank trees at a really great price! Lovely idea, don't you think?

OC coach pulling out all the stops
To say things were looking bleak last spring for the Olympic college mens basketball team would be putting it lightly.
Two-year coach Reece Gliko (who had a 24-29 record) resigned abruptly at the end of last season and there were only one returning player on the roster and only one recruit ready to come on board.
So new coach Billy Landram had to start from scratch, a difficult task for the former North Mason stand-out who was still teaching in the Kent School District when he was hired.
Most players from the area already committed somewhere, so I didnt get a true recruiting process, said Landram, a former player at OC (1997-99) who now teaches elementary school in his hometown of Belfair. But I tried to get the best players out there possible.
So using every contact he could think of, Landram recruited guys ranging from Los Angeles to Georgia to go along with returner Will Pence and South Kitsap recruit Nate Sietz.
There were a lot of open gyms and checking guys out everywhere to see who could play, Landram said. I called a lot of people that used to coach me, guys I played with, whoever I could find.
He also convinced Central Kitsap grad Cory Smith and starting post D.C. Egge to come back for another season. Egge didnt plan on coming back to the Rangers after last season as he had an offer to play closer to home at Montana State-Billings, but a conversation with Landram changed his mind.
Montana State-Billings called at the end of the year and I tried out for them, but I decided to come back to get my degree like I intended to do, said Egge, one of three Rangers listed at 6-6 along with freshmen North Kitsap products Shawn Kelly and Devin Reed. That way I can get another year and then see what happens.
Dont expect the Rangers to depend so much on the deep ball as they did in the Gliko era when the team lived and died on its three-point shot.
Were more focused on defense than we were last year, Egge said. Were going for defensive rebounding because were shorter and not as strong as we were last year.
Defense, lots of defense, Sietz said of how practices have gone. Sietz has added some considerable muscle to his lean frame after taking the Wolves to the 2003 Class 4A state playoffs.
And in the Rangers opening game against Pierce last week, Seitz got OC heading in the right direction scoring a game-high 27 points as the Rangers topped Pierce 81-79.
Weve been focusing on defense and rebounds because were going to need to get some stops, Landram said. Its harder to get guys to play defense and rebound because its easy to get guys to shoot.
The Rangers havent been to the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College playoffs since Landrum wore a uniform, but thats not the clear goal this season.
I want to win obviously, but I havent set a bar thats too high, Landram said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer pulled out the contract, the 24th head coach in Ohio State history referencing the document, written on pink paper, that he believes will change his life.
It wasn't the contract that will pay the 47-year-old more than $4 million per year, plus perks and incentives, over the next six seasons to lead the Buckeyes. It was the contract written up by his 21-year-old daughter, Nicki, that the Meyer family hopes will allow him, less than a year after retiring as the coach at Florida, to get back into football with more balance and less of the unhealthy obsession with what he called "the pursuit of perfection."
"It's tougher than any other contract I've signed in my life," Meyer said Monday.
Less than six months after forcing former coach Jim Tressel to resign in the wake of NCAA violations, and just two days after ending a 6-6 season under replacement Luke Fickell, Ohio State administrators know it was some combination of fate and luck that landed a candidate like Meyer in their laps. A 10-year head coach with two national championships who grew up in Ashtabula and started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Ohio State, Meyer is the coach from central casting sent to save the program after a season of suffering.
The primary question centers on the way he left the game a year ago, after previously retiring and quickly unretiring in 2009. If he's ready, he's a potential home run hire, as legendary OSU linebacker and Meyer friend Chris Spielman said.
"His passion for Ohio State is there. He knows what he is," Spielman said. "He's a Buckeye."
That's assuming Meyer is truly ready to jump back in, after taking on too much responsibility and refusing to delegate to his assistants in his final years with the Gators. Because of that, Meyer said he had second, third, fourth and fifth thoughts before taking this job.
He said he'll start at Ohio State the way he did at Florida, where he beat the Buckeyes for the 2006 national title in his second season.
"That was a guy that did have balance, a guy that took care of himself, a guy that did not try to get involved and change everything," Meyer said, noting the change he then couldn't stop and didn't like. "I've been to a place that I'm not going to go back. ... I was there. I'm not going back."
Meyer's wife, Shelley, who grew up in central Ohio, said it was the pressure to continue winning, after taking a second national title with a win over Oklahoma in 2008, along with the loss of several key assistants that pushed her husband over the edge.
Urban Meyer file
- Born: July 10, 1964, Toledo, Ohio.
- Hometown: Ashtabula.
- High school: Saint John, Ashtabula.
- College: Played defensive back for Cincinnati.
- Notable: Led Florida to BCS National Championship victories during the 2006 and 2008 seasons. In 2006 title game, Gators defeated Ohio State, 41-14. Announced retirement at the end of the 2010 season citing health and family concerns and currently works as an ESPN college football analyst.
- Other Ohio connections: Interned as defensive backs coach at Cincinnati St. Xavier in 1985. First collegiate job was two-year graduate assistant stint at Ohio State under Earle Bruce.
- Personal: Married to Shelley Mather Meyer. They have three children, Nicki, Gigi and Nate.

"When you win two national championships, what's good enough? There's nothing ever good enough again," Shelly Meyer said.
Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith said Meyer will be forced to take vacations. Shelley Meyer said opportunities to watch their children -- Nicki, a Georgia Tech volleyball player; Gigi, Florida Gulf Coast volleyball player; and 13-year-old Nathan -- play sports will be finagled. And Urban and Shelly Meyer called the decision to retain Fickell, who will serve a significant role on the defensive staff and could have a title like assistant head coach, important in helping to share the load.
"We had great conversations about his health issues," Smith said. "We had a great deal of research done on him. And I feel confident that we'll work very hard to make sure we meet the requirement of his daughter's contract."
Meyer's real contract includes potential raises approved by the OSU Board of Trustees each year. He'll also receive a $250,000 signing bonus and three retention bonuses, in 2014, 2016 and 2018, for a total of $2.4 million. All told, that would bring his average guaranteed compensation, if he serves his full six-year term, to $4.44 million per year. According to the USA Today's coaching salary database, that would rank Meyer third among 2011 contracts, behind only Texas' Mack Brown and Alabama's Nick Saban. Tressel would have been slated to earn $3.77 million in 2012.
Additionally, Meyer can earn up to another $300,000 per year in bonuses for the academic achievement of his players; $50,000 for winning the Big Ten Leaders Division; $100,000 for winning a Big Ten title; $150,000 for any BCS bowl game; and $250,000 for the national title game.
If Meyer can match his success at Florida, where he went 65-15 in six seasons including those two national titles, most associated with Ohio State would consider him worth it.
"I think it's very possible he can be just as successful, just as effective, just as great a coach without having to sleep in the office," Spielman said.
Meyer, after one season away missing coaching while serving as an ESPN broadcaster, believes it, too. But he said only the Ohio State job would have brought him back right now.
"It's a decision I'm very proud of, a decision that was not thought of overnight, a decision that had a lot of prayer, a lot of research," Meyer said. "At the end of the day, to tell you that we're excited to be back is not a strong-enough statement. We're grateful to be welcomed back home."

Warden's wife heads home
Associated Press | April 7, 2005
By Lisa Falkenberg
NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Her husband at her side, her children hours away, Bobbi Parker headed home to Oklahoma yesterday for the first time since she vanished along with an inmate after a prison break 11 years ago.
Parker, wife of a warden who never remarried, disappeared with killer Randolph Dial during his 1994 escape from an Oklahoma prison. Dial was arrested Monday; authorities believe he kept Parker from escaping by threatening to hurt her family.
"Our indications are from our initial investigation that she was in fact kidnapped and held against her will," Oklahoma City FBI spokesman Gary Johnson said yesterday.
Parker, 42, spent Tuesday night with her husband, Randy Parker. Nacogdoches County Justice of the Peace Donna Clayton witnessed the reunion.
"They just looked at each other, and both of them took a deep breath, and the next thing I knew, both of them were hugging and crying," Clayton said. "I think on both their parts it was, 'Are you really there?' "
A tip generated by the TV show "America's Most Wanted" led law enforcement to Dial, who was arrested in Campti, near the Louisiana border.

Driver who hit pedestrian identifies herself to authorities | Update
The driver who hit a pedestrian on Alaska Avenue on Christmas Eve has identified herself to authorities, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office reports.
Deputy Scott Wilson said the sheriff's office was contacted today (Dec. 30) by an attorney representing the driver. He said the woman found out she was being sought by the sheriff's office after reading a news item in the Port Orchard Independent, and decided to come forward.
"She had enough sense to get ahold of an attorney," Wilson said, noting that although it was illegal for her to leave the scene of the accident, the driver is now trying to do the right thing.
Austin Wiedmaier, 19, and a friend were walking north on Alaska Avenue on Saturday when a white sedan hit him from behind. The impact flipped Wiedmaier over the hood and he knocked off the driver's side mirror when he rolled off onto the ground.
The sheriff's office reported that the driver, a white female, and a white male passenger, both about 20, got out to ask if Wiedmaier was OK. He said he was, though he said later he remembers little about the accident.
"And I apparently attempted to help the people pick up their bumper off of the road," Wiedmaier said in an interview with KIRO-7 News that aired Wednesday night.
His friend told the driver that she could probably leave after it seemed like Wiedmaier wasn't hurt. She left without exchanging names or information with him.
A short time later, Wiedmaier was transported to Tacoma General Hospital by South Kitsap Fire & Rescue. He told KIRO that he suffered brain hemorrhaging, a concussion and multiple contusions.
"Honestly, I'd just like to get in contact with the people, and just be able to talk with them," he said in the TV interview. "And know what happened, and have them assume responsibility for the medical bills."
Wilson said he didn't know when the driver's attorney will meet with someone from the sheriff's office, but said it will probably take place sometime after the New Year's holiday.

Here he is, focusing on the Citizens United v FEC and the SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission cases--and the making of super PACs which are souped-up political action committees that may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals and then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates but not give money directly to them--engaging with none other than former justice of the United States Supreme Court, John Paul Stevens, who was a dissenting voice.
Here is Stephen Colbert's talk with the recently retired justice. It's really worth watching.
Stephen formed his own Super PAC, as a joke, to highlight the dangers of Super PAC s (though he would deny it!) and, as recently as today, he has raised more than one million dollars for it!
You might also want to check out my colleague, Frank Askin's take on the Super PACs and Stephen Colbert's vital contribution to the dialogue about their impact—including exposing their "ludicrous governing rules"--in an interview on Rutgers Today.
The world Sendak inhabits, the world he creates, may be scary for some, and sometimes scary for all, but it's a world one ought to visit from time to time. Perspective, after all, can be derived in the most unusual of places.
Like in a writer of children's literature and a former member of the nation's highest court.
And, decidedly, on the Colbert Report, thanks to the talented and principled, and good citizen, New Jersey's own, Stephen Colbert.

A fun quote about brass instruments from page 423:
"There is a further clue that the player's ears are provided with as he seeks the best playing pitch. The vibrations of the player's lips are subject to small, random flucturations, just as the vocal cords are. Lining up the air-column resonances will produce an added smoothness in the tone for the reasons discussed in section 19.5 in conncection with the soprano's subtle kind of formant tuning, Also (and much more significantly), the tone is made smoother because the amount of random flucturation in the lip-valve action is greatly reduced when a solidly organized regime of oscillation is set up."
In reading 19.5, Benade writes about the acoustical effects of formant tuning, but not as to the "how" other than:
"Enquiry among singers shows that this mode of singing is not in general consciously cultivated."
Fun stuff!
(By the way, Nick, you can refer to me as VB, rather than VGB.)
"A tool good enough to be so used and not too good"C.S. Lewis That Hideous Strength
You can say that again!!! Subtle, old man Benade, wasn't he?In reading 19.5, Benade writes about the acoustical effects of formant tuning, but not as to the "how" other than:
"Enquiry among singers shows that this mode of singing is not in general consciously cultivated."
Fun stuff!
You might want to extend that to most brass players as well.
So, let's cultivate it then. I can ("imagine" as in image) a tone an octave above what I play. I then double my "everything" and 'bam' it comes out ,Playing the opening of "Pictures" I can imagine it an octave down and it works.

"A tool good enough to be so used and not too good"C.S. Lewis That Hideous Strength
V are you trying to say that all you're doing is imaging the note you want to play, centering in on that thought, overcompensating for what you think the note might require, and then finding out that you can play the note so long as you're consciously willing it out?
I'm lost as to what the actual "crack" is, to be quite honest. If it's just extra thought to internal voicing, then that's been "cracked" a long time ago..
I guess I'm asking you for your thesis, a very condensed one.
When I can seriously claim 5 octaves well under control, I am doing super.

This thing just keeps on working.
At the end of two separate strenuous 3 hour rehearsals with different bands yesterday I had altissimo solo register available on my small bore tenor...strong altissimo solo register, as in blowing acoustically over a 20 piece latin band at full roar and not feeling much (If any!!!) fatigue for a long solo...staying up in the 8th to 16th partial range most of the time. This after playing lead over a strong four trombone section during the entire rehearsal.
I was happily amazed. I have wanted to be able to do that sort of thing for 30+ years.
This idea is developing rapidly in a very good way. I will be teaching it as part of my clinic/private lesson approach; the results have been nothing short of astounding for the few players to whom I have communicated it so far, and it is working for me beyond my wildest dreams.
Get it now, hot off the fire.
Seriously...those of you who know me know I don't mess around about this stuff.
Come 'n' get it.
You be bettah off.
Bet on it.
I have the start of one of my drive-by clinic/work tours set up...November 5th in Cabrillo College, just south of San Jose, CA. I am also putting together some things around the same time in Texas...Houston, Austin, maybe the Dallas/North Texas State area as well. As long as I am out on a teaching tour, anywhere else in the U.S. or Canada could be arranged as well. It's all about booking travel, as of now. Get in touch.
Anybody who is interested or has any ideas get in touch with me either here or at [email protected]. Gigs in clubs, teaching, music directing/coaching/performing at schools, clinics put together by individuals...often the best experiences, by the way, all you need to make it work is 10 or 15 interested brass players and a room big enough to accommodate them...whatever sounds good.
I have a month or two to hustle around looking for stuff, then I should book my flights before the prices go up. In the San Francisco area I can stay at my brother's house and use one of his cars plus I have a similar situation in Houston, so lodging and travel expenses in those areas go down accordingly.
Think about it.
Just as a little sideline to all of this...after 7 pages, a couple of thousand views, 20 really interested posters and basically two hostile, stick-in-the-mud opponents, the fools who run TubeNet canned this topic there. Without even the courtesy of a notice.
That site makes the stiff old Online Trombone Journal look like a den of anarchists.
So it goes.
Gotta have dinosaurs as well as the new, I suppose.
Im not sure what the crack is either, but can expound a bit on some of what I believe.
I believe one of the best books about trumpet playing is The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey. In it he speaks of a Self 1 and a Self 2. Roughly put Self 1 commands, criticizes and looks for acclaimall that ego stuff, and Self 2 simply does things.
If our Self 1 is busy telling us to support your air, watch that tongue arch and dont press too much all kinds of tension enters our playing and screws us upwe make mistakes, miss high notes. Self 1 has its finger firmly on the Suck Button. If we can distract Self 1 by, say, focusing on an overtone (real or imagined) Self 2 can go about the business of playing, and happily does so.
It may indeed be possible to play a low C and imagine a c two octaves up and allow Self 2 to filter out lower tonesthis bypasses that ugly thing called learning and puts us in the exciting realm of discovering, trusting our body to do the right thing.
The biggest difficulty would be in recognizing the right result when it happens.
Hope this helps.

Could Wes Welker be headed back to where his career started?
While it remains our belief that the slot receiver will ultimately reach a deal with the Patriots that will keep him in New England, Welker is beginning to draw interest from other teams.
The Miami Herald reported Sunday that the Miami Dolphins are among the teams that are expected to make at Welker.
So would Welker be interested to returning to Miami and playing with talented, but unproven second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill?
That remains to be seen.
If this comes down to dollars, Miami, which has about $37 million in cap space, clearly have a leg up on the Patriots. But if things are close, New England still provides Welker with the best chance of winning and the opportunity to continue catching passes from one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Now it's important to remember that half (most) of what is said this time of year is untrue. So it's possible that Welker's camp is planting rumors to create some urgency in New England.
Or maybe this one is true.
We should start to get a clearer picture when free agency officially opens Tuesday at 4 p.m.

On Thursday, Jan. 23, members of the Crusader Athletic Leadership Council visited the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center, located on the campus of Montclair State University. C.A.L.C. members Vincent Banek, Christina Bonaccorso, Caitlin Caliguire, Emily Curran, Gina DiNucci, Micahel LaBianca, Joe Lomeli, Kristen Meagher, Maura Moran, Stephen Paterno, Michael Pieros, Michele Pozyc, Jessie Riddlestorffer, Victor Rizzuto, Brian Stier, Kelly Vena, Bobby Weisensee, Stephen Weisensee, Nick Vargas, and Veronica Zatko all went on the trip.
The museum is a classroom for all learners. It links the past to the present through the stories of baseball and Yogi Berra and other individuals who have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments and character.
Berra is a shining example of someone who continues to inspire by example. The museum's sports-based educational and public programs attract educators, students and intergenerational audiences. The museum's Coaching Institute also provides coaches, parents and students dynamic workshops related to today's hot-button issues in youth and scholastic sports. Among the programs available: Developing a Code of Conduct for Athletes and Parents; Team-building Techniques; Captains Workshop; Learning Sportsmanship; and Helping Athletes Reach Peak Performance.
These acclaimed programs are conducted by co-founders John McCarthy, an award-winning teacher and coach, and Rob Gilbert, a Montclair State professor and one of the world's leading experts on sports psychology.
Gus Kalikas, supervisor of Athletics, Health, and Physical Education at Arthur L. Johnson High School, had this to say about the event. "The C.A.L.C. was thrilled to be able to visit the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center. The messages of John McCarthy and Rob Gilbert resonated with our athletes as they related the importance of leadership in all aspects of the student athlete's life. I am sure that our Captains and Leadership Council Members will implement some of these valuable ideas and incorporate them into their everyday lives."
The C.A.L.C. would like to thank Dave Kaplun, John McCathry, Rob Gilbert, and everyone associated with the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center for welcoming us and allowing us to be a part of a fabulous day.

Yea, I know, but really these guys really get their asses kicked bad, and they are on the road for over 300 days a year away from their families and ****, they really are passionate about their job to do such a decision. And I give them huge props for it and lots of respect for what they do for sake of entertainment. It just pisses me off that people don't realize what these people go through just to entertain you. I usually ignore the fact that people call it fake, but sometimes it just ticks the **** out of me.

Occupy nyc taxes 12-14-2011
Yet "separating truth from rhetoric" in the economic debate is no simple task, suggests City Council Majority Leader James Oddo (R-Mid-Island-Brooklyn).
He says city records show the property tax advantages enjoyed by New York City's wealthiest 1 percent are not as disproportionate as it might seem.
