7.80 Thesis
Certain programs specify the satisfactory completion of a thesis as a requirement for the master's degree. Doctoral programs require satisfactory completion of a dissertation. Differing requirements for the doctoral dissertation are discussed in section 9.2.
A student's thesis supervisor (chair of the thesis committee) must be a regular member of the graduate faculty. Thesis committees should have a minimum of three members, all of whom must have regular or adjunct graduate faculty status. Programs may require more members on the committee at their discretion.
Students preparing a thesis should consult the Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Handbook available on the Graduate School's web site. The requirements outlined in this manual are the basic minimal criteria for acceptance as approved by the Graduate Council. Students should seek the advice of their research supervisors and programs for further details. Students are required to meet all standards as prescribed in the Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Handbook. The Dean of the Graduate School, allows deviations from policy or style requirements only with prior approval. Published articles or manuscripts resulting from the student's work may not be employed to supplant, in whole or in part, the thesis requirement. The thesis must be written in English.
The topic of the thesis should come from the student's personal exploration in his/her major or minor field. The formal petition for approval of a topic must clearly set forth the problem, the intended organization, and the methods of development. The student's thesis supervisor and committee must approve the topic.
Students should consult with the thesis committee as to the course (s) and number of credit hours for which they should register while working on an approved thesis topic.
All thesis work will be graded using the standard grading system (A/B/C/etc.) or Pass/Unsatisfactory in each semester for which thesis credit is awarded. These grades will factor into the student's cumulative GPA as other grades do, and are subject to the same rules and standards.
Students must successfully complete an oral examination of the thesis prior to submission of the thesis to the Graduate School.
At a student's request, the Graduate School will make a format check of any thesis, or portion thereof, prior to final deposit. This review will evaluate the format and style as established in the Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Handbook. This review is intended to minimize the likelihood that a thesis will not meet minimum standards and require revision, which will delay deposit beyond the deadline. However, it in no way guarantees the acceptability of the final copy. To allow ample time for completing the deposit copy, students are advised to arrange for a format check well in advance of the deposit deadline.
A computer file containing an approved thesis, in pdf format, must be transmitted to OhioLINK at http://etd.ohiolink.edu/submit/ or delivered to the Graduate School for electronic transmission to OhioLINK not later than 30 days after the end of the term in which the degree will be granted (due dates are published by the Graduate School and distributed to the departments and program offices). Instructions for submitting your thesis are on the OhioLINK Web site. OhioLINK is the repository for Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) for the state universities system in Ohio. This final copy should follow the form prescribed in the Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Handbook, available at the Graduate School Web site, and should be carefully produced, free of errors in style, mechanics, and format.
The pdf file must include the typed thesis approval page, but without signatures. One (1) paper copy of the typed thesis approval page, with signatures, must be submitted to the Graduate School for filing. The ETD cannot be approved until the Graduate School receives the paper copy of the signed thesis approval page. Please consult the "Graduate Thesis and Dissertation Handbook" for additional information and details about preparing your ETD. Because some departments or programs require additional electronic or paper copies of theses, students should consult with their advisors to determine the number of such additional copies needed.
The signature of the department chair on the approval page of the thesis verifies only that the student has successfully passed the oral defense and that the format is acceptable to the department. The final copy must be approved and signed by the Dean of the Graduate School, before a degree will be granted.
A student desiring to participate in any graduation ceremony must either have turned in his/her final thesis/dissertation copy or have scheduled the defense with the committee prior to the graduation date. The defense date may occur within the 30 day period following graduation. The department should notify the Graduate School, by memorandum prior to the graduation ceremony, of the scheduled defense date.

A Clean Water Crisis
The water you drink today has likely been around in one form or another since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, hundreds of millions of years ago.
While the amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly constant over time—continually recycled through the atmosphere and back into our cups—the population has exploded. This means that every year competition for a clean, copious supply of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sustaining life intensifies.
Water scarcity is an abstract concept to many and a stark reality for others. It is the result of myriad environmental, political, economic, and social forces.
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8 billion people.
Due to geography, climate, engineering, regulation, and competition for resources, some regions seem relatively flush with freshwater, while others face drought and debilitating pollution. In much of the developing world, clean water is either hard to come by or a commodity that requires laborious work or significant currency to obtain.
Water Is Life
Wherever they are, people need water to survive. Not only is the human body 60 percent water, the resource is also essential for producing food, clothing, and computers, moving our waste stream, and keeping us and the environment healthy.
Unfortunately, humans have proved to be inefficient water users. (The average hamburger takes 2,400 liters, or 630 gallons, of water to produce, and many water-intensive crops, such as cotton, are grown in arid regions.)
According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, with two-thirds of the world's population living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth, and climate change.
The challenge we face now is how to effectively conserve, manage, and distribute the water we have. National Geographic's Freshwater Web site encourages you to explore the local stories and global trends defining the world's water crisis. Learn where freshwater resources exist; how they are used; and how climate, technology, policy, and people play a role in both creating obstacles and finding solutions. Peruse the site to learn how you can make a difference by reducing your water footprint and getting involved with local and global water conservation and advocacy efforts.

IT Pro Ranking: Web Security Gateways
Our latest IT Pro Ranking survey examines Web security gateways. These products are designed to filter viruses, Trojans and other malware from Web traffic, as well as prevent users from surfing to inappropriate and/or compromised sites. Bluecoat Systems' Secure Web Gateway and Cisco Systems' IronPort products lead the field of Web security gateways, according to IT professionals who use and evaluate these products. Bluecoat and Cisco topped seven vendors, including traditional security stalwarts Symantec, Trend Micro and McAfee (now Intel).
All vendors rated in this report received good marks from IT professionals for their ability to filter malware and block URLs. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent, Cisco and Bluecoat earned the highest ranking for malware filtering, 4.1. Of course, malware filtering is only one way to evaluate a product. Acquisition and operating costs are also key criteria. Bluecoat and Cisco received the lowest marks in these areas -- in other words, you'll pay more for the leaders. In contrast, Barracuda Networks tops all comers when it comes to purchasing and ongoing operation costs, with Trend Micro and Symantec close behind. (R2341210)

Roughly about two years after Amazon, the world's largest online store, launched its Kindle e-book reader in the U.S., the company announced international version of the device, which will be available in over 100 countries.
"We have millions of customers in countries all over the world who read English-language books. Kindle enables these customers to think of a book and download it wirelessly in less than 60 seconds," said Jeff Bezos, chief executive officer of Amazon.
Amazon Kindle e-book reader that will be available globally measures by 8" x 5.3" x 0.36" (203.2mm x 134.6mm x 9.1mm), weighs 10.2 ounces (289.2 grams), features black and white 6" screen with 600x800 resolution, 1.4GB of free flash memory for books or news-papers (SD port also available) and up to 4 days of battery life with wireless connectivity on. The device features 3G/EDGE/GPRS connectivity to download the content everywhere.
Kindle customers can wirelessly shop the Kindle Store, download or receive new content – all without a PC, Wi-Fi hot spot, or syncing. However, it is impossible to browse the Internet using the device.
The Kindle Store offers international customers over 200 thousand English-language books, including New Releases and New York Times Bestsellers, which are typically priced less than physical editions. Over 85 top U.S. and international newspapers and magazines are also available in the Kindle Store for single purchase or subscription.
The international version of Amazon Kindle will cost $279. The device will begin shipping on the 19th of October.

With Father's Day on Sunday, it's time to say thanks to all the flying dads out there. Some of us might never have taken to the air if it weren't that man who put us in the right seat and let us take the controls. But as I didn't have a flying dad–nobody in my family is or was a pilot–I'm going to ask you all, the Flight Training blog readers, to share stories of your pilot dad. Speaking of flying with a pilot dad, the little fella in the right seat is Ferdinand J. Mack, one of your Pilot Information Center specialists, with his father, Ferdinand J. Mack Sr.
Email me at [email protected] tell me about your flying dad. If you put "dad" in the subject line, that would help me a lot. Photos especially welcome. I'll compile your responses and put them in a blog post to be published sometime next week. In the meantime, Happy Father's Day!–Jill W. Tallman

I've been thinking about this particular blog installment for a very long time. And no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on it, or strategize for it, my brain just sort of went on hiatus. Maybe it "blocked" me.
It's time, I think. 10 years and five months here. And they said it wouldn't last. Well, it has lasted, hasn't it? And it will continue, but at its new home. The first blog I wrote this morning was over there, and you can see it here:
I was certainly procrastinating enough, and I really needed a jump or a boost to leap into the very cold waters of the deep-end of the pool, and sure enough I got a Kickstart last night and this morning. Literally.
After circling the edge of the pool for days, I sat at the kitchen island last night with my "support team" (Barbara Doyle) at my side, and we built a campaign page at Kickstarter. It's here:
The way Kickstarter works, you build your page and submit it to them for approval. They suggest that it's standard for that approval to take two or three business days, and I submitted it on Sunday night. At 10:00 a.m. this morning, I was approved. Clicking that button that said "Launch" was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. But we are "live" and off we go.
With the campaign launched, I figured it was time to hit social media with both boxing gloves (jabs and hooks, I think) and that put all sorts of wheels in motion. Hitting Twitter and Facebook with the campaign news meant spreading the word in every possible way, and in support of that I'm about to send out something the likes of which I have never sent out. A press release about ME! Hey, 20 years in PR representing drivers and sponsor, so now it's time for the PR guy to publicize his own work.
I figured as soon as that press release went out I'd better be prepared at both blog sites and on social media, so I cranked out the first real "Bob's Blog" over at the other site and now I'm whacking away at the keyboard over here. Funny how clicking on that "Launch" button was another one of those epic turning-point moments when my life changed and veered off, once again, in a new direction. In other words, it's real. Here we go. I'm writing a book…
I guess, in summary, today is a big day. Is that enough of an understatement for you?
So here we go with a wrap-up. I knew one thing going into this, as I started the email that contains this blog and which will be sent to my longtime (beloved) editors (and friends) at NHRA.com, and that is that I'm not naming ANY names today. See how I did that with my editors?
There are simply too many. And any attempt to send out thanks and appreciation to everyone I could name would almost certainly leave someone out. And since everyone who reads this blog is very near and dear to me, that would be a very bad thing.
So, it's about all of you. Every single one of you who have stayed loyal and come back, month after month and year after year. I've made friends I never dreamed of having, and I've been consistently stunned by the number of people who, even still this year at Pomona, walked up to me for the first time, saying "I've been reading since the first one…"
That's a weird thing. I write these missives and just send them out into the world. Some people reach out at once, and quite often, and some simply read. I'm just so grateful that you've all been with me, and I love it when I meet new folks at the track, people who have been out there reading and enjoying what they read here for years but they did so in private. It's a crazy thing.
There's a thread here. You can't pick your parents, and yet I somehow ranked in the top 1 percent of all the "Luckiest Kids In The World" being born to mine. What they gave me (and my siblings) had nothing to do with wealth or entitlement. The most my father ever made as a Major League ballplayer was about $9,500 a year (yes, that Nine Thousand, Five Hundred). He had to work winter jobs every year to make the mortgage payment and send us to the best schools. We were never much more than middle class, but that was a perfect way to grow up.
They spoiled us in a lot of ways, but not by creating false success for us. They'd lead us and guide us, but we had to succeed or fail on our own. We all did plenty of both. Okay, maybe not oldest brother Del Jr. He's been a pretty inspiring success all his life.
My mother gave me the genetics I'd need to be a communicator and writer. She was a radio personality, and a PR person who never took "No" for answer when it came to questions about what roles women should hold in the business world.
My father not only gave me enough baseball DNA to receive a full college scholarship and a few fun years in the minor leagues, but he also provided a lifetime of education and unbelievably fortunate experiences. When there's a knock on the front door and it's not impossible that Stan Musial might be on the other side of it, that's a heck of a way to grow up.
I meandered around the sports world for quite a while, traveling the world on business and meeting or working with too many "household name" celebrities to count, but the most important day for me, in terms of my business career, was the day I took yet another huge leap of faith, by leaving my brother's marketing agency to go to work for the St. Louis Storm indoor soccer franchise. Because through soccer, and the people I met there, I was eventually introduced to NHRA Drag Racing (it'll all be explained in detail in the book).
And not long after, when I was just starting my 20-year career in team PR, a close buddy introduced me to a wonderful woman. Okay, I did name my oldest brother above, so I feel it's safe to say the following: Just as I was beginning to start a wonderful 12 years with the Worshams and CSK Auto, I met Barbara Doyle. Absolutely nothing has been the same for me since.
From the Worshams and CSK to Wilk and LRS, it's been an incredible run. And for the last 10 of those years, we've been right here. Word by word, blog by blog.
Now, I'm a writer. I felt so proud of that I ordered new business cards, complete with an image of an old manual typewriter. I learned to type on one of those (after I rode to school on a dinosaur). Now, I publicize my own work, and myself, and I'm proud to have these very simple cards in my possession.
And being a writer now means we've crossed a threshold. I knew all along that at some point we'd have to leave here, and that day is today. That's why the new blog location is linked above. If you want to continue to follow along, please bookmark and check in often. Mi casa es su casa. My house is your house.
And follow me on Twitter as well: @BobWilber5
And now, allow me to do the most important thing. Let me thank every single one of you for making this a life-altering experience. I can't imagine there would ever have been a book if not for this blog and all the heartwarming support and confidence you've given me.
It's hard to end this, but it's what needs to be done. I'll still be blogging and I'll still be Tweeting, and all of that, but nearly 10 and a half years of "living" here has left a positive mark on me that is absolutely indelible. If you see me at a race next year, give me a shout.
Now, it's time to write a book! Okay, gotta go to Kauai first, but then we'll write a book. After New Year's, anyway. I got stuff to do!!! And it's not goodbye, it's "See you over at Bob's Blog!"
Wilber, out! (For one last time).
I wonder if I'll get a "Cease and Desist" letter from Saturday Night Live, because I sort of borrowed the name of their faux-news segment for today's title. Here's hoping not. I'm sure Lorne Michaels is a devoted reader of this blog (sarcasm alert) and when he sees it (he won't) he'll realize I'm simply offering him and his long-running show some extra promotional value. I'm Bob Wilber, and you're not.
This will be a short one today, and in other more normal circumstances it probably would've waited until next week but these circumstances are not normal. Last night, I received the first draft of what essentially will be the cover of my book. Big thanks to Todd Myers for his typically great work. And to Mark Rebilas, for the amazing photograph.
We still have some tweaks to do, and Todd and I are both going to stare at it and think about it for a few days (if not weeks) so that we get it right. We're not in a huge hurry to have it finalized and formatted, because you can't even do that until you finish writing the book. Why? Because the number of pages will determine the width of the spine of the book, and the front cover, back cover, and spine are all one thing. I'm learning these details…
And another thing I'm learning is how to pick a crowdsourcing platform to raise capital. Originally, I was thinking of using GoFundMe because it doesn't contain an "all or nothing" clause. You simply put your crowdsourcing page together and see how much capital you raise. That makes it a great platform for fundraisers, charities, and businesses in peril. Then, there's KickStarter.
KickStarter is the biggest crowdsourcing platform on the Web, and the more I've looked into it the more I've begun to realize it's the place to be. It is, indeed, an "all or nothing" site, so you set a target and if you don't raise that much and come up short, no donors gets charged and you get zilch. That scared me away at first, but now I see the value in it. The key is simply coming up with the right number.
Jim Oberhofer, from the Kalitta team, self-published his book this past year and he used KickStarter to do it. I even donated to it. His target was quite lofty, but the Kalitta group has fantastic reach and influence and he cleared the bar, which provided him the working capital he needed to print quite a few books, so that he could have them on-hand for autograph sessions and sales at the track. Congrats to Jim O, and congrats on a book that's earning rave reviews.
Within a week or so, I'm relatively sure I'll be posting the news of the launch of my campaign right here. And then things will really get rolling. We'll get that campaign going, and when that happens I'll be all over social media to get the word out and I suspect you can all imagine that I'll be asking for everyone to help me spread the word.
And, not long after that we'll be making the move to the new blog site and life will be different. Here's hoping it will be a good different, not just different for different's sake and not a bad different. "Embrace change" he said boldly.
Oh, and of course I'll need to actually write the book. I'm still thinking that's going to be the easy part.
I've done a cannonball into the deep-end of constructing an outline, as per instruction by my editor Greg Halling, and even that's a little more complex and difficult than I imagined. I'm not really doing it as a classic outline like we were taught in school, with numbers and then subsets of letters indented below, because all I really need is a rough outline of what each chapter will be about. More just "writing points" so that I stay in some sort of order and don't forget any great characters or stories. Heck, my outline is going to be as long as some short books! And that will make the hard-copy spine wider, won't it?
And with those stories will come characters indeed. For example… Yesterday was Thursday, and as many of you know Thursday has become synonymous with old photos on Facebook, where it has taken on a sort of permanent place in social media as Throwback Thursday, or TBT for short.
Yesterday, late in the afternoon, I was looking around to find a fun old photo to post, when I ran into an old black & white shot from my college days. I remember the photo-shoot with the campus photographer well. It was an unseasonably warm day in late winter, but it had also been one of the snowiest winters on record in that region. As our preseason practice was about to begin (indoors, at a local grade school because Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville had not yet built its gym) our fine ballpark was still covered in snow and in some places the drifts were knee-deep or taller.
The school photographer asked pitcher Stan Osterbur, shortstop Dave Schaake, and outfielder me to put on uniforms and head out to the ballpark, and there he shot a series of photos of the three of us illustrating just how deep the snow still was. It ended up in the school paper (the "Daily Alestle" for the record) and in some national college baseball publications (yes, there were those way back then…)
So, I posted the photo on Facebook and lots-o-people liked it or commented on it. And, as you'll see in the photo gallery, I appear to be about 16 in the shot. I was 21 at the time, heading into my junior season of baseball for the SIUE Cougars, but I looked very young for my age.
One of the people who liked the photo was Vince Bienek (The Bronze Fox) my buddy and former teammate on the Paintsville Hilanders in the Appalachian League, during the summer of 1978. (And boy, spell-check did not like either Paintsville or Hilanders in that sentence. It didn't know what to do about Paintsville other than flag it as misspelled, but it kept trying to change Hilanders to Hollanders, even right there in this sentence.)
And while I was looking for that photo of Stan and me, I found another one that someone took of me and a young lady who, I think, worked for the team in some capacity. I honestly don't remember what she did, but I it may have been ticket sales or concessions, or who knows. I remember having the photo taken, so she must've been well known by all of us.
Well, as you may recall, Vince married a beautiful young lady from Paintsville, whom he met that summer, so I asked them on Facebook if they recognized her. Mary shared that with her family and Kentucky friends, so hopefully we'll finally have a name to go with that photo, taken 37 years ago.
And I also always liked that shot because there's a classic Appalachian little boy in the background, peering through an open gate to watch the pro ballplayers take batting practice. Or, in my case, have a photo taken. Great memories…
Also, through the magic of the interwebs, I've become online friends with a guy named Clinton Riddle, who is a photographer and baseball writer with ties to Paintsville, and he's digging around to see if he can connect the dots as well. Fun stuff.
Clinton also, last night, found a lengthy bio on my dad, at the website run by SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) which I hadn't seen in a long time. I remember the writer contacting me for some of the background after Big Del passed away, and it was really fun to read. A lot of the little details had been lost in the fog of passing time, so it was neat to see my father's life and career laid out in detailed and accurate chronology. It's here:
Gotta run now. Wanted to get the book cover on here and mention the KickStarter thing, so I'll come back here next week and hopefully we'll have more hard news to share on both fronts. That would be awesome if it can all come together that quickly. I'm on it!!!
Wilber, out!
Hello, December! We've been rocking this blog since August of 2005, so that makes this my 11th December at the helm (keyboard) making this happen. Crazy. And yes, I counted that out on my fingers and when I said 2015 out loud I had to use a toe. On my right foot.
So here's the deal. There was a time, yesterday, when I thought I should just cut the cord here and make today's installment my final one at this site. But, today a couple of other thoughts (neither of which are based on procrastination, I swear) made me change my mind. For starters, I think I owe it to all of you to make my final NHRA blog something well thought-out and carefully written. Today, I'm in a more free-form "let it rip" frame of mind, so this isn't the last one. Secondly, my new blog is still under a renovation, and although it's in good enough shape to pass inspection and earn a Certificate of Occupancy, I'd still like to get the new kitchen and hardwoods put in before we all walk in the door. Here's hoping my web guru actually does get it ship-shape as soon as possible. I don't think the law firm of Burgess & Benson will let me hang out here forever. At some point I'll be labeled a squatter, and that usually doesn't end well.
All that being said, I really still don't know when the final blog will appear here. Next week is possible, or the week after that. And I'll try to overlap a little and have my first "real" Bob's Blog up and posted when I sign off here, as opposed to the temporary "There's going to be a new blog here" thing that's up there now.
And since I've been posting the address every week, I might as well do it again. The shiny new version, with that "new blog smell" will be here:
Bookmark it, share it, post it on Facebook, and spread the word. Just don't spray-paint it anywhere.
Also, for you Twitter fans, remember that my new Twitter handle is @BobWilber5
I'm over 200 followers, but hope to get those numbers up much higher, as well. If you're on Twitter please feel free to give me a shout-out to spread the word.
So here's the latest update on the book.
After hiring Greg Halling to be my editor, I made another big move yesterday by hiring Todd Myers to do the graphics and design for the cover. I've known Todd a long time, when he was the PR rep for Kalitta Racing, and he's not just a designer or a clever guy with good ideas. He's a real honest-to-goodness artist. He creates stuff that blows peoples' minds, and he's excited to tackle the cover. Considering he also has Mark Rebilas photos to work with, I understand that. I'm just as excited to see what he comes up with.
I've also now decided to stick with my original plan and start the actual writing process (the act of "going to work each day") in January. I don't want to rush this, despite the fact I know I could start charging into it now, because I want to be sure I'm actually prepared to do it right (because you only get to write your first book once). That means a full outline, chapter by chapter, and a full understanding of how the self-publishing deal works. There are apps to use, systems and functions to follow, and many details that are not just fuzzy to me, but completely out of focus. Basically, I know there are ways to do this, I'm just unsure of how it all works. I think I need a self-publishing tutor. That may be my next hire.
And, with all these things going on and the need to be able to make it all happen without going broke, I'm seriously toying with the idea of a GoFundMe campaign to see if I can raise a little working capital. I contributed to Jim Oberhofer's crowdsourcing campaign, which was very successful, and I'm proud to have done that.
Originally, I was very hesitant to do one of these campaigns because it felt like asking for a handout, but getting a book written and published is no easy deal, especially for a guy who has quit his job in order to do such a thing. Yes, I want to write it because I'm meant to write it and, no, I'm not under any illusion that I'll get rich or even make much money at all when it hits the online shelves, but it would be a bit more comfortable (and prudent) if I knew I wasn't burning through savings because of it. Plus, I don't want finances to change the way I write or the speed at which I'm trying to get it done.
When you do a GoFundMe deal (or any other crowdsourcing campaign, like Kickstarter or Indiegogo) the goal is to get a lot of people to each pledge a little money, and pretty soon it all adds up. To do that, it's best to offer various levels of contributions, and it works even better if you have some kind of rewards for whatever people pledge. I was, at first, stumped to figure out what I could offer that people like all of you might find rewarding, and then it hit me. I have a closet full of crew starting-line shirts, another closet full of winner's jackets, and yet another closet and bookcase full of Wally trophies. I'm sure there are other things as well, including the possibility of making the highest donation level come with tickets to a race and two free Delta Airlines tickets to get there.
So, basically I need to get to work on all of this, don't I? This, I think, is a product of some procrastination. I'm almost but not quite done with my post-season "Year In Review" binders, I'm just waiting on the folks at FedEx Office (the store formerly known as Kinko's, which was a lot more fun to say) to print and collate the copies, and then they'll be out the door. Once that's done, I'll have no more reason to put any of this off.
And I'm still not 100 percent sure about the campaign. We'll see, but I am leaning toward doing it.
Oh, and I almost forgot the biggest accomplishment I came up with yesterday. The original working title for the book was "Hits, Headers, and Horsepower - A Life of Sports, Marketing, and Mayhem" which was secretly slipped to me on a tiny little note from Elon Werner. I loved it, but the "Headers" thing was a bit confusing, because soccer fans would get the reference but everyone else would probably think it was a racing reference to actual header pipes.
Again, I was stumped and my brain was locked. For days I kept scribbling notes, trying to find a string of words that were alliterative, but also concise and unmistakable in their references. And finally, yesterday, it hit me: "Bats, Balls, and Burnouts - A Life of Sports, Marketing, and Mayhem". Even Elon liked it way better.
That new one, as of right this minute, is the new working title for the book. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice. I hope you used your very best Carl Spackler voice when you read that last part. And, if you're too young to know who Assistant Greenskeeper Carl Spackler was, well then I'm too old. Gunga la gunga.
Thanksgiving is behind us, and boy did we have a great time in Colorado last week, with Barbara's brother Jim and his extended clan. Jim's daughter Erin recently bought her first home, and she was the host for the huge Turkey Day bash, also for the first time. Everything was spectacular, and everyone had a wonderful day. You're not going to believe this, but we ate a lot. And then some more. Erin knocked it out of the park.
On Friday, after leftovers for lunch we went to see a movie, and "The Martian" was really fantastic. Matt Damon should get serious Oscar consideration for his role, because it was gripping and wonderful and at least 95 percent of the time he was on-screen he was acting by himself, because (I'm not spoiling anything here) he was left behind on Mars. Great flick.
And since we're past Thanksgiving and into December, we spent some time on Sunday decorating here at the house. We're going on vacation later in December (to Kauai to see my sister Mary and her husband Lonnie) so we opted not to put a tree up, but that didn't stop us from decorating an authentic (and living) tree on the property. I dolled-up the little miniature tree that sits out in front of our house, complete with shatter-proof plastic outdoor ornaments and a string of lights. Our stockings are hung (by the fire, with care) and we have some other lights and favorite Christmas items on display here.
One of those is a really cool old traditional Saint Nick, and I think I've told that story here before. Back in the old neighborhood in Woodbury, for the first few years we lived there, we had a famous neighbor. Andrew Brunette was playing for the Minnesota Wild then, and he lived about six houses down from us. He'd walk his dog every day when the team was in town, no matter how cold, and we'd always share a wave if we were outside. Andrew then became a member of the Colorado Avalanche and one weekend before they moved he and his wife held a garage sale to lighten the load.
I wasn't in town, but Barbara and (I think) maybe her mom went down there, and they bought the vintage St. Nick. It was (again, I think) made by Andrew's mother-in-law. So it has history. Plus, it's just a cool looking thing.
Here at the house we're also doing our part to fatten up all the little songbirds that live around here, with three different bird feeders in the back yard. Those little guys can chow down, believe me. What's more fun, though, is the fact our kitchen and living room windows have reflective film on them, so we can see out but no one can see in during the day. Including little birds. Who have no idea that vicious predators named Buster and Boofus are sometimes just inches away but separated by glass. It's hilarious. And ignorance is bliss.
And finally, to wrap this up with one more household item, as you may know Spokane had a huge wind storm on the Tuesday after Pomona. Thousands of big old trees and fences were blown over throughout the city and suburbs, but I thought we'd escaped any real damage here at our house, despite the fact the golf course we live on and the one across the street each lost dozens of trees. A few days ago, Barbara and I decided to take the boyz out for a walk in their stroller, on the cart paths, and when we walked out the back door we both looked up and saw the bad news…
We've had a professional arborist look at it, and his prognosis wasn't good. He figures the roots were certainly damaged when it pulled them up and out of the ground, and he also thinks it's just one more good gust of wind away from falling. The somewhat good news is that he said it "probably won't hit your neighbors house" but the bad news was he thought we should not attempt to straighten it up or prop it into place. It's too heavy, and we'd need a bunch of heavy equipment tearing up our entire back yard, plus thick metal cables and concrete footings to attach them to, which would also ruin the backyard, so… It probably has to come down. Taking any tree down is kind of sad, but this one is also part of our protection from errant golf shots, so that's even worse. Bad deal all around, but we're extremely fortunate to not have lost our roof or had a 150-year-old oak crash through out bedroom like so many other locals had to deal with.
On a much lighter and more entertaining note (for me, at least) my pre-ordered BluRay copy of "Rush R40" arrived just before we left for Colorado last week. So, I got to retire to the man cave and crank it up to 11 on the surround-sound and big screen. It's one of their concerts from their final tour to commemorate their 40th anniversary, and fittingly it was shot in Toronto. It rocks. Duh.
So that's it for today. The good news is we have more blogs left to do here. At least one more, but probably two. Or three. Or maybe I'll just never leave. All of you will have to distract the law firm of Burgess & Benson for me, and then I'll just be a squatter here forever. What do you mean they can pull the plug on me? Really? Guess I better get my web guru to make those updates after at Bob's Blog. Man, I love that witty title…

We've seen GPS tracking systems being used for some very unusual purposes, but this is the first time we've seen GPS used to help save the environment, and in this case – trees. Foresters in Jackson, Wyoming, have decided they will begin using GPS to track the damage to whitebark pine trees being killed by beetles. U.S. Forest Service officials are using a budget of $150,00 to start the survey of beetle damage in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The forest officially contains about 400,000 acres of whitebark pine, but the species has begin to decline due to beetle attacks. The process will begin with mapping through an aerial survey, with the survey then being used to map the pine population and to help lay out the area that will be used for the GPS. This work should be completed by next spring. Foresters specifically want to know where the damage is worst, and why some pockets of pines appear to be unaffected. …Read More →

the Surprise, Raspberry-Lime
By Nightwing
from Honolulu, HI
About Me Quality Oriented
I currently am using a 70 fl.oz Antidote hydration system w/ Big Bite & Cover, and a jury-rigged QuickLink HydroLink attachment. I recently purchased this as a enhancer for my water. Recommended dosage is 1 tablet per 16 fl.oz., but through some experimentation, I found the best mixture for me is: 2 tablets per 70 fl.oz. (about 64 fl.oz.). This specific flavor exceeded my expectations. I wasn't expecting to like it because I don't usually like raspberry, but that wasn't the case. What's great about the product is: 1) dissolves pretty quickly 2) no residue afterwards 3) tastes great! 4) awesome replacement for sports and "diet" drinks. I've also yet to find a reason to dislike this product.

There are times in our worst hour when we discover that what will save us is just the thing we've been doing our whole lives. String theorist Jim Gates had one such epiphany, hearing an unembodied voice telling him to make his own trail while alone on a mountaintop in Iceland, clinging to his mortality. Check out this story from The Moth.

Team streak all of the sudden has a little two game losing streak going, and all prior back to back losses this year have ended up spiraling into sustained streaks of suckitude.
In to town tonight comes the Milwaukee Bucks, who figure to be our main competition for the #4 seed and 1st round home court, as well as 2nd place in the Central. It's also very likely that Cavs-Bucks ends up being the 1st rd #4-#5 matchup, especially in the wake of the Jermaine O'Neal injury.
Bucks are a good team, been a bit of a hard luck team this season. A lot of close losses, and their record could be even better. They figure to only be better the rest of the way as TJ Ford is back to health, and new players Bogut, Bobby Simmons, and Magloire continue to acclimate themselves with their new team.
Big game tonight.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (148 votes).
In short: had a fantastic time despite the weather (tipping it down ) well organised and friendlyDate of review: November 10, 2012
In short: Very wet yet on one of the best in Essex again.In full: Pouring rain and flooding could not prevent another excellent Billericay 10k.Excellent organisation and encouraging marshalling helped greatly especially through the flooded roads. Well done Striders see you next NovemberDate of review: November 10, 2012
In short: Heavy rain and flooding did not dampen spirits and the tough conditions with water logged roads made for some spectacular road racing. In full: Dartford Road Runners took part on mass as part of the final Grand Prix Series of 2012. The journey by car from Dartford to Billericay was made difficult by the driving rain and wind. Thanks to my ever patient partner and No 1 supporter. The Hannakins Farm Community Centre was well sign posted and directions very accurate. The parking facilities and Marshalls were excellent and got cars parked very quickly. The number and chip timing collection bays in the hall were easily found with distribution very efficient an well manned by smiling Striders. The hall was a buzz of activity prior to the race and had adequate space to change. Toilets were also avaailable and queues not were small, at least at times when I tried to use the facilities and that was often. A few more chairs would have been good but the difficulty of space is appreciated. The excellent provision of refreshements of tea, coffee, cold drinks, biscuits and nice cakes were a welcome sight, readily available, with queues not too long and more than fairly prioed. However, the weather conditions cast only a slight veil of trepidation on our brows to begin with. The warm up was more like running in a shower but we are made of sterner stuff. Once the full extent of the weather conditions were observed, it was down to the task at hand and to the race start. The Starter held things a bit too long but he was jolly and entertaining in equal measures. The course from memory had one slight hill at the beginning and the rest was very wet or under water. It is definetly a pb course, I was just 59 seconds outside my pb and I think if conditions were better I would have without fail, broken pb. Overall and to summarise, a very well orgainsed race, the Marshalls were very vocal and it was nice to hear your 'c'mon Dartford' being shouted on several occasions. So very well done on the Marshalling side of things. I would have rathered a unique medal or a dri-fit t-shirt to be honest but the pen memento is ok and it writes well. The Mars Bar and water were nice touches. Congratulations to all concerned. Please come and visit us for our Les Witton Dartfor 10 in January 2013. Date of review: November 9, 2012
Date of review: November 9, 2012
In short: Torrential rain and freezing cold - but still the best fun to be had on a Sunday morning!Date of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Despite flooding and torrential rain, a lovely course, well organised.In full: The weather only seemed to make everyone more determined. The Marshalls were quite magnificent in both professionalism, hardiness and cheerfulness. The dashes through several stretches of standing water were definitely novel and there was just enough up and down to keep it interesting. Facilities at HQ were outstanding, plenty of hot sweet tea and rolls available after. I wasn't even sure where the start was so didn't start my watch in time and gun to chip could be remedied, surely.Date of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Very wet but did enjoy it marshalls were excellant encouraging all the way roundDate of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Very slick race.In full: Quite wet this year, but marshals were fantastic in controlling runners and traffic. Glad they didn't cancel on the day as it turned out to be an event to be talked about for years to come. "Do you remember Billericay 2012 when it........?"Date of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Pleasure to take part in the swim I mean runIn full: with such wet conditions marshall were the hereos of the dayDate of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Surely wettest race ever. Thanks to the marshalls who were very encoraging despite the awful conditionsIn full: Like the memento. No useless medal or boring T-shirt here. Something useful (i.e. the pen) so much better. The lack of a timing mat at the beginning still disapoints tho. Always nice to have one's chip time as well as the gun time.Date of review: November 8, 2012

Seafood Boil
Recipe courtesy of Michael Chiarello
- Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello
- 1/2 cup sea salt, preferably gray salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 (3-ounce) box crab boil spice (recommended: Zatarain's)
- 1/4 cup fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 6 lemons, halved
- 4 medium artichokes (no need to trim)
- 8 small boiling potatoes
- 2 onions, unpeeled, ends removed
- 5 whole, unpeeled heads of garlic
- 1 cup dry wine
- 2 (1 1/2 pound) lobsters
- 1 dozen fresh clams
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp in the shell
- Garnishes:
- Melted unsalted butter
- Sea salt, preferably gray salt
- Fennel Spice Rub, recipe follows
- Hot pepper sauce
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. When water is at a full boil, salt generously and then add bay leaves, crab boil seasoning, fennel seeds, peppercorns, red pepper flakes, coriander seeds, and lemons. Return to a boil, add artichokes, and cover. Boil for 10 minutes and then add potatoes and onions; reduce heat to a simmer and return the cover to the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes and then add garlic and wine. Simmer, covered, until artichokes, onions, and potatoes are tender; as they vegetables become tender, remove them to a serving platter (the potatoes should take about 20 to 30 minutes, and then artichokes and onions, about 30 to 40 minutes).
After you have removed all the vegetables, add the lobsters. Cook just until they begin to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Then add the clams; after 30 seconds, add shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and begin to curl and the clams open fully, about 5 minutes.
Cut the onions in half. Cut the artichokes in half and scoop out and discard the chokes.
Serve the shrimp, potatoes, onions, and artichokes with shallow bowls of melted butter, sea salt, and the Fennel Spice Rub for dipping, and with jars of hot sauce.
This is my favorite spice mixture. There is almost nothing it doesn't taste good on or in. Use it to make spice-encrusted pork ribs, chops, or tenderloin; veal chops; chicken breasts; duck; beef; liver; or eggplant; or add a teaspoon to lentil soup.
1 cup fennel seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons white peppercorns
3 tablespoons kosher salt
Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

text: Color is more than just a hue. It expresses a feeling. Makes a statement. Declares an allegiance. Color reveals your personality. iPhone 5c, in five anything-but-shy colors, does just that. It's not just for lovers of color. It's for the colorful. A6 chip. 8MP iSight camera. 4-inch Retina display. Ultrafast LTE wireless. iPhone 5c has the things that made iPhone 5 an amazing phone — and more, including iOS 7. All in a completely new design that feels great in your hand. With a vibrant, lively interface and new features that take full advantage of the technology inside, iOS 7 is made for iPhone 5c on every level. The rich and particular color we wanted to infuse into iPhone 5c simply wasn't possible with metal. But we had no interest in imitating the typical, fragile plastic phone. So we built iPhone 5c around a steel-reinforced frame that also acts as an antenna. It's attached to the outer shell in individual pieces, then laser‑welded together to achieve a precise fit. This structural integrity makes iPhone 5c pleasingly solid to the touch — unlike any plastic phone you've ever held. iPhone 5c feels as significant as it looks. Its appearance may be new, but the way iPhone 5c performs is instantly recognizable. That's because it has the things people loved about iPhone 5 inside. And more. The Apple‑designed A6 chip delivers impressive performance and graphics. Yet it's incredibly energy efficient, so you can use your iPhone throughout the day without worrying about battery life. The 8MP iSight camera lets anyone anywhere take an amazing photo anytime. The 4‑inch Retina display produces images with vivid clarity. And because iPhone 5c has more LTE wireless bands than ever before, LTE speeds are now a reality in even more places around the world.* Our intention was never to just make a color phone, it was to create an entirely new expression of what iPhone can be. At the same time we were designing iPhone 5c, we were also designing cases for it. From the beginning, the iPhone 5c Case was envisioned as a significant part of the colorful experience. Every detail was meticulously considered. Silicone was chosen for the exterior because it's pleasant to hold and touch. Soft microfiber lines the inside. Precisely drilled holes align perfectly with the speaker on iPhone 5c. And the circle pattern draws focus to the color underneath, creating 30 fun combinations. Even when viewed from the front, the edge of the case is designed not to cover the rim of the phone, but run perfectly parallel to it, allowing both colors to be visible. The result is a case that feels like a part of the phone, not just something designed around it. From the clean, thoughtfully redesigned icons, to the color-matched wallpapers that seem to radiate through the Home screen, color is everywhere in iOS 7. And that happened with full intent and purpose. iOS 7 was designed with the colors of iPhone 5c in mind. So using it feels not just more delightful, but also more personal. Equally noticeable are the ways in which iOS 7 brightens the tasks you perform every day. For example, it automatically organizes your photos for you, based on where and when you took each picture. You've always been able to send videos, documents, and contacts as attachments in email or texts. But now AirDrop lets you share them wirelessly and directly with people nearby. iOS 7 even enhances the experience of reading a web page as Safari recedes into the background, so you see more content and less browser. iOS 7 was designed to make the experience of using iPhone 5c more pleasant, more colorful, and even more fun.

Words of wisdom for graduates
May 18, 2006
It's hard to believe that 21 years ago it was me walking across the stage to receive my high school diploma from Portales High School.
I was filled with ambition, dreams and a strong determination to be somebody. I had a specific plan of action and then, from there on, everything else in my fairy-tale future was going to naturally fall into place.
Of course things didn't fall into place as perfectly as I thought they would. It has taken years, even decades to get there, and I'm still not quite there yet. After receiving a college degree in journalism in 1989 from Eastern New Mexico University, I'm back at Eastern again working on two master's degrees, hoping to get it right this time, but not losing sight of my original dreams, which have brought me full circle in life and still keep me going every day.
So my words of wisdom to you graduates of 2006 are these:
l Dream high, but know that to achieve your dreams, you must be willing to stretch your arms out until they are uncomfortable and ache, until you think you can't hold them out any longer. You must keep those arms outstretched even when that goal seems slightly out of your grasp, and then pray that you muster up the strength to just reach out and snatch it at the right time.
l Life is not a get-rich-quick infomercial. Nothing substitutes for hard work, loyalty and dedication. This means starting out at the bottom and being willing to work your way up. This means being willing to take a step back at times, in order to be able to take a step forward.
l Be open to change and have a backup plan. Sometimes our dreams are just a starting point. I was 101 percent positive that I wanted to be a newspaper journalist, but once in the field, I quickly started having second thoughts and wanted more. The past 16 1/2 years that I've spent in journalism haven't been wasted though. They've been a staircase filled with many steps, some smooth and flat, others steep and rocky, sometimes winding in a spiral, but a staircase, nonetheless, leading me to another desire along the way to study Latin American literature and becoming a novelist.
l Listen up and stop the eye rolling. This may be cute in high school, but in the real world, you need people on your side, people you may not expect right now who will have a significant impact on your future. That pest or geek right now may be your boss someday, your colleague, your client, or even your soulmate.
l Listen to words of wisdom. Others have been there and done that before, and also learn from your mistakes. God always gives us a second and third chance to do it again and get it right, so if you get it wrong the first time, remember life is short. Fix it quickly and move on.
l Take sensible risks. What the heck, you're young. Be willing to leave your comfort zone, even if you stay close to home. We're becoming a more global society and the traditional recent high school graduate in college is slowly becoming the nontraditional student at most colleges and universities. Not everyone will share the same views as you, but don't automatically dismiss them. Knowledge and information expands your mind and helps you to see through others' eyes as well.
l As I constantly tell my daughter, Laura, whatever profession you chose, be sure to give back to your community in some way, shape or form, and in one way or another, help make this a world a better place when you leave.
l Invest in others' dreams as well, just as your parents, teachers, role models and peers have invested in yours.
l Finally, as you follow your dreams, remember that your dreams will change along the way, as will the characters and backdrop. And most importantly, you will change.

1. Start your cat eye by creating a line from the outer corner of your eye angling it up and out.
2. Continue lining straight from the higher point of your previous line moving back towards your lash line to create a triangle.
**Tip: For a thinner cat eye end this line closer to the outer corner of your eye to create a smaller triangle. The farther you end the line from the outer corner, the thicker your cat eye will be.
3. Apply the eyeliner along your lash line starting from the inner corner of your eye moving outwards creating the line to your desired thickness.
4. Finish your cat eye by filling in the rest of the triangle.
