Krenzel Delivered in the Clutch for Buckeyes
What is 'it' about the clutch players?
By Mark Schlabach
August 1, 2008
What made former Notre Dame quarterback Joe Montana play so calmly in the final seconds of the fourth quarter?
What caused former Ohio State quarterback Craig Krenzel to lead his team to so many comeback victories during the Buckeyes' 2002 national championship season?
What was really running through Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan's veins last season?
If college football coaches knew the answer, they would surely bottle it and pass it on to generations of players to come. But for the most part, coaches really aren't sure what drives the sport's greatest clutch players.
From Montana to Krenzel to Ryan, some college players just thrive under pressure. It is a trait seemingly derived from the same DNA that determines the color of a player's hair and eyes.
Craig Krenzel delivered in the clutch for the Buckeyes.
"Those guys just have it," Tressel said. "They don't blink."
Krenzel barely blinked during his two seasons as Ohio State's starter. As a sophomore, he was thrust into the starting role when teammate Steve Bellisari was suspended for drunken driving, days before the Buckeyes played rival Michigan. Krenzel led the Buckeyes to a 26-20 upset of the No. 11 Wolverines, the Buckeyes' first victory in Ann Arbor since 1987.
Afterward, Krenzel said, "I was surprisingly calm. I was more calm than before my first high school start."
The next season, Krenzel stayed remarkably cool during a series of memorable comebacks. He ran for the winning touchdown in the final minutes of a 23-19 victory over Cincinnati in the opener. Late in the season, when the Buckeyes were trying to remain unbeaten, they trailed Purdue 6-3 late in the fourth quarter. On fourth-and-1, Krenzel threw a 37-yard touchdown to Michael Jenkins with 1:36 left for a 10-6 victory.
Against defending national champion Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, Krenzel led the Buckeyes to a 31-24 upset in two overtimes. He completed only seven passes, but five of his throws were for first downs. He also ran for a game-high 81 yards and two touchdowns.
"A guy like Craig, because he worked so hard to master the things he needed to do, that gave him the confidence for his innate qualities to express themselves," Tressel said. "One of his strengths was his toughness and his belief in himself. He thought, 'Hey, don't worry about it. I'm going to get it done.'"

Some drummers chase after "groove;" the elusive ability to play a drum part so well that the collective audience can't help but bend their knees and wiggle to the left. Others cherish "chops," a combination of blinding speed and technical proficiency. Mission of Burma's Peter Prescott seems to have cornered the market on a third, rarely explored, category: the "rumble." It starts and stops, it lopes and lurches, it speeds up when it needs to and settles back down when it has accomplished what it set out to do. It flails when it should just be cool, but it's always out on the edge, teetering on being out of control. When Prescott is on, like he is tonight, the whole band is right there, out on the edge, teetering with him.
You can feel the surge in the room; it's not a shimmy but it's not assaultive either. His rumble defines Mission of Burma's highly effective live attack as much as bassist Clint Conley and guitarist Roger Miller. Their elastic conception of verse, chorus, and melody creates space for Prescott to rumble successfully. They're an incredible band and the parts aren't interchangeable; it has to be these guys playing together or else it doesn't work, and that makes them even better.
Mission of Burma
27 Jun 2008: First Unitarian Church Philadelphia, PA
Tonight, they're playing to support the reissue of their early records (initially released during the band's legendary first go-round) and perform in its entirety their debut EP, Signals, Calls, and Marches. ("We'd like to thank Matador for reissuing three records that didn't sell very well the first time," Prescott says at one point.) It feels apt that this record should be celebrated in the same way that we imagine it was left; in a sweaty, airless, underground basement performance space. This time, though, there are considerably more people in attendance; more, you imagine, than the band probably ever played to when the EP was first released.
"You all might recall the problems we had playing in Philadelphia in the early '80s," says guitarist Roger Miller, before concluding, "You more than make up for it." Bassist Clint Conley calls the room a "stew pit," but he means it affectionately. With temperatures pushing 100 degrees outside and only three small ceiling fans circulating air through the 300 people stuffed inside, that's as apt a description as anyone could be pressed to come up with on the spot.
They open with songs that would have been scribbled on their set list the first time they toured behind Signals, Calls, and Marches'. These include a particularly powerful "Peking Spring", plus songs from both sides of their first 7"—"Max Ernst" and "Academy Fight Song". When they get ready to play "That's When I Reach for My Revolver", loop operator Bob Weston plays a sample of vinyl hiss and pop, drawing a laugh from the band as they tear into their most well-known song and, despite the sweltering humidity, come close to inciting a mosh pit.
They sound amazing throughout and are clearly enjoying themselves. At their best, Mission of Burma is an awe-inspiring live act; loud, physical, and unrelenting in all the best possible ways, but without being lead-footed. It's easy to forget that Signals, Calls, and Marches is over 25-years old, and as much as the album has served as a touchstone since its release, Mission of Burma sets a similarly high bar as performers.
They close the night with "2wice", from their similarly stunning 2006 Matador album, The Obliterati. Their continued relevance, cemented by the two excellent albums released since their reunion, is just one thing that separates them from the current crop of groups reuniting around classic albums. Their music, and their performance, is much too timely to ever be confused with nostalgia.

text: Medical News Tanzania: Infants Benefit When HIV-Positive Moms Take a MultivitaminFebruary 15, 2006 HIV-positive pregnant women in Tanzania who took multivitamins reduced the chances that their infants would have developmental delays, according to new research. The findings support current recommendations to give multivitamin supplements and antiretroviral therapy to HIV-1-infected pregnant women in developing countries, said Dr. Nuala McGrath of the Harvard School of Public Health and colleagues. Supplementation has already been associated with delays in HIV progression as well as decreased complications such as low birth weight, preterm birth and death. In the current study, researchers assessed the relation between maternal multivitamin use and mental and motor development in 327 children born to HIV-positive mothers. In the study, the pregnant women received either a vitamin A supplement; a multivitamin containing B1, B2, B6, niacin, B12, C, E and folic acid; both supplements; or a placebo. Treatment lasted through the pregnancy and for 18 months after delivery. While the multivitamin regimen was also associated with a decreased risk of motor developmental delays (relative risk 0.4), its association with mental scores was insignificant. Vitamin A was neither associated with changes in mental/motor function nor did its inclusion with a multivitamin improve development scores. The full report, "Effect of Maternal Multivitamin Supplementation on the Mental and Psychomotor Development of Children Who Are Born to HIV-1-Infected Mothers in Tanzania," was published in the journal Pediatrics (2006;117(2):e216-e225). Reuters Health 02.14.06 This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network. It is a part of the publication CDC HIV/Hepatitis/STD/TB Prevention News Update.

AKA Love is the Drug
Directed by Elliot Lester
Starring Lizzy Caplan, Darryl Hannah, and some douchebags
Rated R
"What are you doing in my backyard?"
This is a horrible movie, make no mistake about it. For nearly a decade now, Hollywood's had this baffling love affair with rich, white, bored, morally bankrupt kids, probably since that's what all the execs have at home. Since only about 3% of the population could possibly relate to these greedy ingrates, I just don't get why these movies keep getting getting made. Who could like something like this? Kids exactly like the kids in this movie would even hate it.
So, why am I even bothering to mention it? Because Lizzy Caplan is in it (as a blonde!), and she looks super-hot. That's why.
The story? Well, Lizzy and her pals are rich, white, bored, and morally bankrupt. There's a working-class doofus at her school who's hopelessly in love with her. Normally, she wouldn't even acknowledge his existence, but it turns out he has an after-school job at a pharmacy, so Lizzy's pals talk her into being nice to him so he'll steal drugs for them. And that's what he does.
Of course, he doesn't realize he's being manipulated, and as he quickly spirals into criminal behavior, his obsession with Lizzy grows deeper and weirder.
Also, Darryl Hannah plays the kid's mom. They decided to go for a haggard look for her. Ouch.
How's it all end? How do these things ever end? Badly.
While the acting is pretty solid, everybody in the movie is either an asshole or a simp, so you don't really care what happens to anybody. The end.
Hopefully, next time Lizzy dyes her hair blonde, she'll do something fun.

Dalton's location is 34.7170° S, 149.1830° E
The pub in Dalton is known as the best in the nearby area. Other services in Dalton are a post office, which also sells some grocery items, and a petrol/service station. Dalton village has no local mail delivery, so finding a particular house involves careful descriptions.
The Dalton is also a unit of mass equal to one atomic mass unit, or approximately the mass of a hydrogen nucleus. Its abbreviation is Da. Proteins are generally measured in Kilodaltons.
A unit of mass that equals the weight of a hydrogen atom, or 1.657 x 10-24 grams. Named for John Dalton, an early nineteenth century British chemist who proposed the atomic theory of matter.

- Name: Tracey MacDonald
- E-mail: email@example.com
- Age: 32
- Where: Redlands, California
- Height: 5' 2"
- Weight: 130 Lbs., contest: 122 Lbs.
- Years Bodybuilding :5
- Favorite Bodypart: Legs
- Favorite Exercise: Back
- Favorite Supplements: Nitro-Tech RTD Shakes, Nitrotech Protein Bites
How Did You Get Started?
I started working out when I was 16 yrs. old. Mostly running and lifting in a small gym where I grew up. I am very competitive so I can't stand someone doing something better so I remember a lot of arm wrestling and pushup competitions in high school. From there working out became a habit and part of my lifestyle and I'd be there at least 5x a week.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
I think what works the best with me is anything consistent and heavy. I try to incorporate a lot of heavy compound movements while maintaining a good heart rate.
Some of my favorites like this include a heavy free weight squat to jump lunges or jumping box squats. Another favorite is to superset a heavy bench press with pushups; every different version of a pushup that you can imagine.
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
I try to stick to the 80%/20% rule. 80% of the time I do what I'm supposed to, and 20% of the time I eat what I really want. I eat pretty clean and consistently all year so dieting for a show doesn't turn into weeks or months of torture. My last contest I dieted for 2 weeks.
I teach my clients to do the same. Develop a pattern of consistent eating habits that the body can depend on... when this is developed over time and consistency, your metabolism speeds up and becomes more efficient at utilizing calories.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
Food. I know that food is the most powerful drug in the world. There is no pill, potion, powder, exercise, gadget or gizmo that will change your body more than food will.
The two supplements that I do depend on for contest time and give me the greatest difference on stage is my dandelion and ulva ursi (Sea Nourishment) combination. I start adding them to my diet on Wednesday prior to a show, and have a little schedule I follow with them. I also include some B-Vitamins and lots of water.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
The challenge. I love having a goal for myself and trying to improve my own physique each time I step on stage. I always want to be improving my physique and skills.
Because fitness demands endurance, strength, agility, flexibility and stamina, it is always a huge challenge because it forces you to train for functionality, not just physical appearance.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
My future plans include my small line of fitness clothing ("driven") being worn in every gym across the USA. I'd like to continue to compete and will do so as long as my body allows me to and as long as I can deliver a competitive package on stage. I think there will come a time when the body will just say, "no!!" and I'll have to make a decision to either stop competing or maybe try figure.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Compete for the love of competing. Compete against yourself and you will never lose. But at the end of the day, be a gracious winner or loser.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Kelly Ryan has always been my number one favorite; she is a class act. My other favorite is Marium Capes, a soon to be pro Canadian competitor. Marium, aside from her amazing show stealing routines has a very humble personality and has a lot to offer the sport in terms of both her skills, and stage presence.

Main thing is to keep a file of all your receipts and any titles of donor cars that show that you came by your materials honorably..Then see if you can find anyone in Georgia who has been down that trail..
Where I am at the state issues a title that says the car is an assembly of other cars...some states issue a salvage type title.. Here you have to take the car in for a State Patrol inspection..has nothing to do with smog or any of that as those issues are covered by a different agency..Here all the title is is proof of ownership as a person can get what we call a TPO which is title purpose only..Operating on the street is another issue. Sam
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work.. |
First off, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REGISTER YOUR VEHICLE USING A PURCHASED TITLE!!!!!! That is FRAUD and can land you in jail. Second, if your car is a "custom manufactured" vehicle without a factory VIN# those so called "title" companies will do you no good. They skirt the law in the first place and most states have caught on to that practice and won't allow titles obtained in this manor any longer.
Do a search on Georgia DMV and follow the instructions you find in their rules and regulations. It took me 5 minutes to find that in Georgia if your car is over 25 years old or represents one over 25 years old no "emissions equipment" is required. An inspection, as has already been mentioned, will be required but as long as you keep all your receipts you should have no problems there. Basically they're checking for basic safety items and that no major parts have been stolen. If you want to know all the specifics, according to the web site you need to direct all questions about registering, titling, and tagging your custom-built, hobby, or antique car to your county tax commissioner. This office can also tell you the specific fees involved to register and title your vehicle. Remember do it legally. It may take a bit more time and paperwork but at least you won't wind up in jail. |
k. about the only things I ever bought from a "real car" were the rear centersection and the engine block. not much to base a car title on.
when i'm a little farther along I'll go into the dmv and see if they can send someone out. should be interesting! |

elk throwing... hmmmm someone should call the Olympics committee. I think STM has a new event for them. I can see it now.... the thrower finds a person they don't like, throws a cake at them, swiftly followed by a brick and then an elk. the object of the event is to see how badly the person the thrower dislikes is maimed.
as for the second one.... I think STM has met my instructor for the class I'm taking.
LOVE the first one!! ... As for the second, am I the only one who immediately thought of "Mr. Clean"? (I'm not sure if he's only in the US or not.)

I'm not sure the town officially bans Christmas trees on the town common or not.
Although there was a world of controversy 15 or 20 years ago when the Jones Library put one up.
I just wish somebody would buy a few new lights (actually a lot) for the Merry Maple. - December 23, 2011 at 7:13 AM
I would like to see someone demand the right to put a manger on the common. Now THAT would stir a few things up -- a Christmas tree is a pagan fertility symbol, hate to tell you that folks....

We speak to both camps ahead of the Scotland clash. Firstly, Mike Ruddock underlines the importance of the battle up front, suggests that previous form in the championship is irrelevant, and warns that Scotland will be very dangerous opponents indeed.
We then hear from Scotland forward Nathan Hines, as he gives his assessment of Wales' displays in the Six Nations tournament so far. He also gives us his views on what Scotland must do to beat Wales, and evaluates the impact of the famous Murrayfield crowd.

WTMJ has a man on the scene at the State Capitol who advises that there are "thousands" of people demonstrating against Walker's de-unionification plan.
One surmises that 75% or more of them are unhappy State and local workers.
Did you notice? Did the State collapse into dysfunction? Have the roads fallen apart yet? Are schools overrun with teacher-less students? How's your neighborhood criminal-count? Is there really a difference at DMV offices? Did DNR's permit process get noticeably slower?
I didn't notice a difference, either.

Well if there were 'thousands' there and there was no noticeable impact on State operations, perhaps we have too many State workers?
My reaction was "don't these people have jobs or did they get time off to demonstrate...?" - 2/15/2011 12:29 PM

As is so often the case, the most interesting parts of the Morongo Unified School District Board of Education meetings lay in staff reports. Reporter Dan Stork summarizes what was said about enrollment numbers last night and helping students apply to college…
Assistant Superintendent Sharon Flores told the Morongo Unified School District Board of Education enrollment counts for the beginning of the school year at its Tuesday meeting. She said that while enrollment was projected to be 8,185 for the current school year, by the sixth day it had reached only 7,751, down over 400 from the projected number. Schools experiencing significant decreases in enrollment are Condor and Oasis Elementary in Twentynine Palms, and Yucca Valley High School. Sites with slight enrollment increases are Yucca Mesa Elementary and Twentynine Palms High School.
Kathleen DeRouen, a retired teacher on contract to the District, and Amy Woods, the District's Director of Secondary Education, gave a presentation on a program, now in its fourth year, intended to help high school students with the application processes for college admission and financial aid. The program seeks to compensate for disadvantages of Morongo Basin students—relative to wealthier areas—in areas of computer access, home support, and information availability and awareness. It identifies students who are capable of going on to college, but may not know they can. They are guided in planning courses, prepping for SAT and ACT tests, identifying suitable colleges, and filling out financial aid forms. DeRouen said that over half of the 2014 graduates of Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms High school had definite post-graduation plans, in the form of attendance at a 4-year college or Copper Mountain College, career or technical school, or a military career. She said that this is an improvement over pre-program figures.
In a workshop preceding the regular meeting, the Board considered its extracurricular activity eligibility policies. The probation option adopted last year expired with the old school year. The Board is moving toward having a permanent policy that would allow a student to go on probation once in his or her high school career in the District.

Appendix 1 Examples of design of check dam, percolation ponds and tanks
Water is essential for all life and is used in many different ways - for food production, drinking and domestic uses and industrial use. It is also part of the larger ecosystem on which bio diversity depends. Precipitation, converted to soil and groundwater and thus accessible to vegetation and people, is the dominant pre-condition for biomass production and social development in drylands. The amount of available water is equivalent to the water moving through the landscape. It also fluctuates between the wet and dry periods. Fresh water scarcity is not limited to the arid climatic regions only. Even in areas with good supply, the access to safe water is becoming a critical problem. Lack of water is caused by low water storage capacity, low infiltration capacity, large inter-annual and annual fluctuations of precipitation and high evaporative demand.
Irrigation in Africa is a privilege since, the cost of providing irrigation to one hectare could be as high as US$ 20 000/ha and therefore cannot be implemented. Even for small-scale irrigation using groundwater, well (both open and tube well) construction is costly. It may amount to more than US$ 10 000 to provide irrigation water for one hectare of land.
Irrigation potential which exists in South and East African countries is much more than the presently irrigated area. The geographical area, irrigated area at present and irrigation potential for selected countries are given in Table 1. The table indicates the possibilities of bringing a larger area under irrigation in these countries for food security.
A variety of essential soil moisture and water conservation technologies must be adopted to reduce the cost of irrigation, extend it throughout and promote sustainable small-scale irrigation on a watershed basis. These technologies are essential especially in drought-prone areas. Even though drought is a purely natural calamity caused by the failure of (monsoon) rain, it can be minimized by careful planning and operation. During good rainy years, excess rainwater should be stored in the soil and also underground using suitable soil moisture conservation measures and water harvesting structures on a watershed basis. This stored water can subsequently be used for irrigation.
Watershed development and management implies an integration of technologies within the natural boundary of a drainage area for optimum development of land, water and plant resources, to meet the people's basic needs in a sustained manner. A watershed is an area from which runoff resulting from precipitation flows past a single point into a large stream, river, lake or pond. Each watershed is an independent hydrological unit. It has become an acceptable unit of planning for optimum use and conservation of soil and water resources.

The concept of integrated watershed development refers to the development and management of the resources in the watershed to achieve higher sustainable production without deterioration in the resource base and any ecological imbalances. This concept requires the formulation and implementation of a package of programmes with activities for optimum resource use in the watershed without adversely affecting the soil and water base or life supporting system. The concept assumes more importance in the context of planning for sustained development. Watershed development aims at preventing watershed degradation resulting from the interaction of physiographic features. It eliminates unscientific land use, inappropriate cropping patterns and soil erosion, thereby improving and sustaining productivity of resources leading to higher income and living standards for the inhabitants in the watershed area. It therefore involves restoration of the ecosystem, protecting and utilizing the locally available resources within a watershed to achieve sustainable development.
Rainfall failure occurs once every 3 to 5 years and is usually below 50% of the average annual rainfall of the region. During periods of rainfall failure, the groundwater level lowers since fluctuations in the water table levels depend on the rainfall when both surface and groundwater availability becomes critical. Drought begins to prevail and there is difficulty to cope up with the water demand during this period. Similarly, in some locations or areas water shortage is observed just before the rainy season commences. These two situations can be managed if suitable soil and moisture conservation measures are systematically implemented on a small watershed basis.
There are always strong links between soil conservation and water conservation measures. Many actions are directed primarily to one or the other, but most contain an element of both. Reduction of surface runoff can be achieved by constructing suitable structures or by changes in land management. Further, this reduction of surface runoff will increase infiltration and help in water conservation.
To increase the period of water availability and overcome water scarcity in drought years, the following activities can be implemented in the field for a compact, viable watershed of about 200 - 500 ha.
Soil and water conservation can be approached through agronomic and engineering procedures. Agronomic measures include contour farming, off season tillage, deep tillage, mulching and providing vegetative barriers on the contour. These measures mainly prevent soil erosion but will also help in improving soil moisture availability in the watershed.
FIGURE 1 Soil and water conservation measures on a watershed basis
The engineering measures adopted differ with location, slope of the land, soil type, amount and intensity of rainfall. Depending on these parameters, the methods commonly used are contour trenching, contour stone walls, construction of temporary and permanent check dams and gully plugging structures. Additionally, percolation ponds, silt detention tanks and irrigation tanks are constructed to harvest water and recharge it to the groundwater for use in agriculture (irrigation). Farm ponds can also be constructed for every 4-5 ha in the watershed to provide protective/supplemental irrigation.
The above soil and water conservation management and water harvesting programme should be implemented in an integrated manner on a catchment/watershed basis (Figure 1).
Functions of the structures
Contour bunds, contour barriers (vegetative and stone), contour trenches and contour stone walls will not only prevent soil erosion but also obstruct the flow of runoff water. Consequently, the obstructed water will increase the soil moisture and recharge the groundwater in the area.
Check dams: This may be a temporary structure constructed with locally available materials. The various types are: Brush wood dam, loose rock dam and woven wire dam. The main function of the check dam is to impede the soil and water removed from the watershed. This structure is cheap, but lasts about 2-5 years. The cost of the structure is about US$ 200 - 400 depending on the materials used, the size of the gully and the height of the obstruction (dam). A permanent check dam can be constructed using stones, bricks and cement. Small earth work is also needed on both sides. Costs vary from US$ 1 000 - 3 000 depending upon the length and height of the dam. A little water is also stored above the dam. This water recharges the groundwater.
Percolation Pond: The percolation pond is a multipurpose conservation structure depending on its location and size. It stores water for livestock and recharges the groundwater. It is constructed by excavating a depression, forming a small reservoir or by constructing an embankment in a natural ravine or gully to form an impounded type of reservoir. The cost of this type of structure is estimated at around US$ 5 000 - 10 000. The capacity of these ponds or tanks varies from 0.3 to 0.5 mcft (10 000 - 15 000 m3). Normally 2 or 3 fillings are expected in a year (season) and hence the amount of water available in one year in such a tank is about 1 mcft to 1.5 mcft (30 000 - 45 000 m3). The cost for one mcft (30 000 m3) varies from US$5 000 to 15 000. This quantity of water, if it is used for irrigation, is sufficient to irrigate 4-6 hectares of irrigated dry crops (maize, cotton, pulse, etc.) and 2-3 hectares of paddy crop.
Irrigation Tank: The main function of this storage structure is irrigating crops. It is constructed below the above-mentioned structures in a watershed. In Tamil Nadu, India, each tank irrigates from 10 to 5 000 hectares. In south India, there are about 2 000 000 tanks, irrigating about 3.5 million hectares. Earthen bunds are reinforced with masonry to collect and store rainwater for irrigation. The cost of this tank (dam) depends upon the size, location and site condition. It costs about US$ 1 500 - 2 500 to irrigate 1 ha of land. Water from the tanks is normally used to grow paddy crop.
Apart from the above, to increase moisture availability to agricultural and tree crops, in situ moisture conservation techniques must be adopted in addition to the large scale soil and moisture conservation and water harvesting structures in the watershed.
The following are some of the in situ moisture conservation measures which can be practised in the watershed to increase production.
For agricultural crops, the measures adopted are forming ridges and furrows, broad bed and furrows, basins, tie ridging (random tie ridges) and water spreading.
For tree crops micro catchment, saucer basin, semi-circular bund, crescent shaped bunds, V ditch technology, catch pits and deep pitting can be practised.
In addition to the above measures and structures, small storage structures with a water storage capacity for an area of about 0.4 to 0.5 ha can be constructed in large numbers one for every 10 to 20 ha catchment or watershed at the foot hills slopes and hilly areas. These storage facilities would attenuate the floods during storms. These measures will also ensure soil moisture for good growth of trees grown down stream recharging the groundwater in the region and making available more water for drinking and irrigation water.
The procedure for the construction of tanks and check dams, on a watershed basis, is as follows. Detailed studies are first made of the watershed to determine its current erosion condition, land use and water balance condition. Based on these data, decisions are made on the construction of check dams (temporary/permanent), percolation tanks and irrigation tanks (refer to Figure 1). The community in the watershed should be involved in planning and selecting the type of structures and locations of the structures. If a large quantity of water is lost through runoff from the watershed, 2-3 percolation tanks or one irrigation tank can be planned based on water availability. A number of check dams can be provided to arrest erosion and to plug the gullies in the rivulets at appropriate places.
The construction can be done using human labour if necessary or by a mix of mechanical and human effort. In India, these works are mostly executed by labourers to give employment to the village people. Only 10% of the work is done mechanically (bulldozer) i.e., digging the foundation and excavating earth to form bunds. Otherwise 80-90% of the work can be done by machines, if employment is not a criterion.
The cost of construction of the above-mentioned structures depends upon the soil type, the size of the tank and season of construction. The proportions of earth and masonry works for the three different structures are as follows.

The actual construction is undertaken when the community is free from agricultural work and the works are spaced in such a manner that the construction will be completed before the rain (monsoon) commences, so that the structure will be used immediately. Small structures are completed within 2-3 months while a large one takes about 7-9 months.
These tanks or dams are constructed by Government without the involvement of people during construction. The maintenance is normally not done but is the responsibility of the Government. If the people are involved in constructing the structure they feel ownership and will take responsibility for maintenance. Since the work is given to the contractors the quality of the construction is also questionable. Wherever the community is involved in the construction, they undertake the maintenance of the structure themselves.
Users' (farmers') participation
The efficiency of a tank or pond depends on the organization of its beneficiaries. This organization of beneficiaries are required for each and every tank, especially for maintenance and rehabilitation. The role of the water users' association (WUA) or farmers' organization (FO) in general is as follows.
· Planning including selection of site.
· Construction.
· Distribution of water in irrigation tanks.
· Maintenance of the structures.
· Mobilization of resources for the work, management and maintenance.
· Involving themselves in the work.
· Resolution of the conflicts.
Linkages should be established between the farmers and various organizations. The NGOs are required as a catalyst and to create awareness among the farmers about efficient utilization of the resources.
It is said that users' participation is necessary for better utilization and management of the resources. In practice this participation is very difficult to achieve. To some extent farmers' participation in the management and utilization of irrigation tanks is forthcoming. However, involving farmers is not such an easy task with check dams and percolation ponds, since there is no direct benefit to the farmers as in the case of irrigation tank.
Involvement of farmers in system management and project management from planning to operation and management of the system should be stressed. Coordination among the association members has to be intensified for proper guidance.
When selecting the construction site of check dams, percolation ponds and tanks, the following criteria can be considered.
Check dams: This is constructed across rivulets and gullies to control erosion, prevent gully formation and to arrest the flow of water to allow it to go underground. A number of such obstructions will be useful for soil and moisture conservation measures. Inexpensive, temporary structures can be constructed using vegetation, stone or brushwood, available at the site. Large numbers can be provided to reduce erosion and formation of gullies. Permanent check dams can be located at the junction of one or two streams or gullies using masonry structures.
Percolation ponds: The following factors may be considered:
· It should not be located in heavy soils or soils with impervious strata, otherwise the top soil should be porous.· Suitable and adequate soil should be available for forming embankments.
· The ideal location of the pond will be on a narrow stream with high ground on either side of the stream.
· Simple, economic and efficient surplus arrangement should be possible.
Pond size should be decided on the basis of the catchment area and the number of fillings possible for the pond in the area.
Irrigation tanks: The location should be such that it should receive water from a large catchment area.
· There should be land below the site suitable for irrigation.· Cooperation and coordination of the farmers and the community is essential to use the water.
· The location should be such that it will be a narrow point with high ground and wide open space in front of the tank location so that a large quantity can be stored with minimum cost.
A model design of a percolation pond/tank and check dam is given in Appendix 1.
After the plan and estimates are prepared and approved by the appropriate authority, construction can be entrusted to village people (beneficiaries) in case of check dams or percolation tanks and to the WUA and/or FO in case of irrigation tanks. Not much operation and management is needed in the case of check dams and percolation tanks but irrigation tanks must be visited regularly to release water and conduct repairs and maintenance. The WUA or FO can be involved from the time of construction, operation of the system and maintenance of the structure.
Farmers should always be involved in planning and executing field programmes. Management and new techniques should not become a continuous burden to the farmers. The design and implementation of a conservation and rehabilitation programme is likely to be most successful, if they are the product of interdisciplinary work between technical staff and those experienced in economic and social issues.
Based on the above background, the author had an opportunity to study many projects implemented by NGOs, government departments and farmers on water harvesting and soil moisture conservation in small watersheds in India. After visiting all the projects and following discussions with the people concerned, the following assessments were made about their projects and the lessons learned from the experiences.
In one village, owing to the inspiration of a dedicated NGO, the village has dramatically improved after the villagers executed all the development work including soil conservation and water harvesting works. Though the annual rainfall was only 450 - 500 mm, the groundwater table was maintained at a depth of 6 -7 m and there is no water scarcity even during drought years in that village. The farmers are using drip irrigation for widely spaced fruit and orchard crops and are planting trees in barren and common lands.
In another large project (40 000 ha) funded by the World Bank, soil and water conservation and water harvesting measures were conducted on a watershed basis. Though it was a Government project it was implemented with the help and involvement of the community from the planning stage to execution. Consequently the project achieved its goal. The farmers obtained 150 - 200% more yield. The groundwater table in the watershed was raised and the community had no difficulty to get water. At the same time, another project failed and expected results were not been achieved because farmers were not involved. Therefore it is clear that water availability can be increased if soil conservation and water harvesting measures are implemented on a watershed basis involving the community. In addition more water will be available for small-scale irrigation, which will assist in improving the people's living conditions and food security in the coming years.
The design procedure for the check dam (permanent), percolation tank and irrigation tank is more or less the same.
In all three cases, the weir length (surplus weir) has to be designed and/or calculated.
In the case of percolation tanks and irrigation tanks, the capacity of the tank has to be calculated on the basis of the rainfall and catchment area of the tank. For check dam, this is not necessary.
The method of calculating the weir length and the capacity are the same in all cases. The procedure is as follows:
· select the site for the tank or check dam.· from the Topo sheet or village map, find out the correct catchment area of the watershed at that location.
· take the cross sections and longitudinal section of the stream or gully where the tank or dam is constructed.
· based on the levels taken, prepare 50 cm contour for sufficient area to decide the water spread area and the capacity of the tank based on the yield of the watershed.
Catchment area |
- 40 ha |
Monsoon/Rainfall season |
- 625 mm |
Yield from catchment assuming the catchment is good (more yield) tables are available. |
- 51 480 m3 |
Capacity may be designed as 1/3 of the yield from the catchment i.e. |
- 17 000 m3 |
Deciding full tank level (FTL), Maximum water level (MWL) and tank bund level (TBL):
From the levels taken, draw the contour lines at every 50 cm interval between the bed level and the highest ground level at the site. From these contour lines, the capacity of the tank at 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m and 2.0 m height above the bed level is calculated. The contour (level) at which the tank can store 1/3 of 51 400 m3 i.e. 17 000 m3 is the required height of the weir. That is called full tank level (FTL). For small tanks, the height of flow over weir is taken between 0.30 - 0.60 m and this level is known as maximum water level (MWL). The tank bund level (TBL) is calculated by adding 1m or more based on the height of the water stored above the bed level of the tank.
Design of weir:
Maximum Discharge Q = CIA/360
Where |
Q= Discharge in cumec |
I = Intensity of rainfall (25 mm/hour) |
A = Area of catchment in ha. |
To decide the length of the weir
=1.67 LH3/2 (broad crested weir C = 1.67) |
Where |
C = Constant =1.67 |
L = Length of the weir |
H = Flow height over weir |
After deciding the length of the weir (L), other structural calculations may be made, including the body wall, wing walls and apron. Finally the stability of the structure is checked.

Americans broadly and strongly disapprove of federal intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, with sizable majorities saying Congress is overstepping its bounds for political gain.
Sampling, data collection and tabulation for this poll were done by TNS. |
The public, by 63 percent-28 percent, supports the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube, and by a 25-point margin opposes a law mandating federal review of her case. Congress passed such legislation and President Bush signed it early today.
That legislative action is distinctly unpopular: Not only do 60 percent oppose it, more -- 70 percent -- call it inappropriate for Congress to get involved in this way. And by a lopsided 67 percent-19 percent, most think the elected officials trying to keep Schiavo alive are doing so more for political advantage than out of concern for her or for the principles involved.
This ABC News poll also finds that the Schiavo case has prompted an enormous level of personal discussion: Half of Americans say that as a direct result of hearing about this case, they've spoken with friends or family members about what they'd want done if they were in a similar condition. Nearly eight in 10 would not want to be kept alive.
In addition to the majority, the intensity of public sentiment is also on the side of Schiavo's husband, who has fought successfully in the Florida courts to remove her feeding tube. And intensity runs especially strongly against congressional involvement.
Included among the 63 percent who support removing the feeding tube are 42 percent who "strongly" support it -- twice as many as strongly oppose it. And among the 70 percent who call congressional intervention inappropriate are 58 percent who hold that view strongly -- an especially high level of strong opinion.
GOP Groups
Views on this issue are informed more by ideological and religious views than by political partisanship. Republicans overall look much like Democrats and independents in their opinions.
But two core Republican groups -- conservatives and evangelical Protestants -- are more divided: Fifty-four percent of conservatives support removal of Schiavo's feeding tube, compared with seven in 10 moderates and liberals. And evangelical Protestants divide about evenly -- 46 percent are in favor of removing the tube, 44 percent opposed. Among non-evangelical Protestants, 77 percent are in favor -- a huge division between evangelical and mainline Protestants.
Conservatives and evangelicals also are more likely to support federal intervention in the case, although it doesn't reach a majority in either group. Indeed, conservative Republicans oppose involving the federal courts, by 57 percent-41 percent.
Conservatives and evangelicals hold these views even though most people in both groups -- 73 percent and 68 percent, respectively -- say that if they personally were in this condition, they would not want to be kept alive.
Should Feeding Tube Be Removed? | |||
Support | Oppose | ||
Non-evangelical | 77% | 18 | |
Evangelical | 46 | 44 | |
Catholics | 63 | 26 | |
Liberals | 68 | 24 | |
Moderates | 69 | 22 | |
Conservatives | 54 | 40 | |
Democrats | 65 | 25 | |
Independents | 63 | 28 | |
Republicans | 61 | 34 | |
Conservative Reps. | 55 | 40 | |
Regardless of their preference on the Schiavo case, about two-thirds of conservatives and evangelicals alike call congressional intervention inappropriate. And majorities in both groups, as in others, are skeptical of the motivations of the political leaders seeking to extend Schiavo's life.
Should Federal Government Intervene? | |||
Support | Oppose | ||
Non-evangelical | 26% | 71 | |
Evangelical | 44 | 50 | |
Catholics | 38 | 56 | |
Liberals | 34 | 62 | |
Moderates | 29 | 67 | |
Conservatives | 48 | 49 | |
Democrats | 34 | 63 | |
Independents | 31 | 61 | |
Republicans | 39 | 58 | |
Conservative Reps. | 41 | 57 | |
Preference and Experience
Public views on this issue are informed in part by Americans' preferences for their own care if they were in a similar situation: Sixteen percent would want life support; as noted, 78 percent would not. While still a very large majority, that's down from 87 percent in an ABC News/Washington Poll last week.
Among people who favor removing Schiavo's life support, 94 percent say that's also what they would want for themselves. By contrast, people who oppose removing the feeding tube in Schiavo's case divide about evenly on what they'd want for themselves: Forty-five percent would want life support, 41 percent would not.
Some speak from experience: A third of Americans say they've had friends or family members who passed away in a hospital or other care facility after life support was removed; nearly two in 10 say they were personally involved in that decision. People who've been personally involved in such a decision are more apt than others to support removing Schiavo's feeding tube and to say they personally would not want life support.
Age and Attention
There are differences among age groups. Senior citizens are more apt than others to strongly support removing Schiavo's feeding tube, and also more apt to oppose federal intervention. And young adults are less likely to say that, as a result of the Schiavo case, they've discussed their own wishes with family or friends.
Just under six in 10 Americans are closely following the Schiavo case, including 16 percent who've been following it very closely -- a respectable albeit not overwhelming level of public attention. Young adults, age 18 to 29, are less than half as likely as their elders to be following the case closely -- just 27 percent are doing so. There's an irony in that result: Schiavo herself was stricken at age 26.
This ABC News poll was conducted by telephone March 20, 2005, among a random national sample of 501 adults. The results have a 4.5-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by TNS Intersearch of Horsham, Pa.

The challenge is that there always seems to be something other than – better than – housekeeping on the agenda for the day. I would much rather hang out with
the kids, make a pie, read a book or have a quiet moment with my husband than tote the vacuum cleaner from room to room.
I refuse to send the kids off with their father for an hour or two of "fun" while I stay home to clean. I think that sends the wrong message about gender roles and household responsibility. We all
live here and we all need to contribute in some way.
Even though we have instituted regular, or semi-regular, family cleanups, those primarily are for taking care of the surface clutter. Heavy
cleaning still mostly falls to me, or to my direction. I've been trying to get a better handle on splitting up some of these true cleaning chores between the boys so they happen more regularly. The
problem is my own impatience! Teaching the kids the right way to clean takes a bit of time of course, and when I am in a mood to clean I want to get through it quickly and have little patience for
teaching. If I need to clean for whatever reason, there's usually not time for teaching.
There's also figuring out the right level of real cleaning appropriate to each of the kids' ages. I think there are certain chores that can rotate among Alfs, my husband and myself (cleaning the
bathroom, for example), and some that can go straight to the kids (sweeping the porch, vacuuming). Some we can all pitch in on (putting together the weekly recycling trip, loading and unloading the
dishwasher) and some are all mine (mopping the floors). Then there are my total hang-ups: my husband, bless him, does most of the laundry folding, and the boys often have sock-sorting duty. I
have some kind of a mental block when it comes to folding laundry. I just hate it. I can sort the laundry and get it all through the washer and dryer, but the folding. Ick.
Someday I'll get the whole household management, including cleaning, figured out. With any luck, it will be before the kids go off to college and I have to do it all myself anyway.

Notable defensive tackle prospects:
Height: 6-1. Weight: 285.
Scouting report: An All-American without ideal size but whose quickness into the gaps could make him ideal for teams that rely on their lines to generate pressure. A strong lower body. Models his game after Cincinnati Bengals all-pro Geno Atkins.
Insider's take: "Aaron Donald is a disruptive player. ... Goes to the Senior Bowl, they couldn't block him the entire week."
— NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah
Projected round: First
LOUIS NIX: Notre Dame DT projected in first round
Height: 6-2. Weight: 299.
Scouting report: A defensive force for the Seminoles' national championship team in 2013. Excels in run defense but also does a decent job getting to quarterbacks. Lacks elite athleticism and size and probably is a bit short to play end for a 3-4 team. Needs to improve conditioning.
Insider's take: "People focus on the fact that he got kind of gassed out at the end of that (national championship) game, but I thought he was a dominant player for the first three-plus quarters. I think he's a really good player, gives you a more stout guy." — Jeremiah
Projected round: First, second
TEAMS IN NEED: Bears, Cowboys thin on line
Height: 6-6. Weight: 310.
Scouting report: Has the athletic ability to dominate but hasn't shown it with enough regularity. But the former tight end is learning the ropes on the defensive line. His huge frame should allow him to plug into any scheme. Swats a lot of passes.
Insider's take: "Enormous physical tools. He's tall; he's big. He flashes on tape, but there's not that consistency there. I think he's gonna be a top 25 pick (but) presents some risk." — ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay
Projected round: First, second
Height: 6-2. Weight: 288.
Scouting report: High-effort player who gets into the backfield quickly. On the smaller side, but he should be fine in passing situations. Has torn both anterior cruciate ligaments; the injury to his right knee cut short his 2013 season.
Insider's take: "He's got big durability concerns. ... But when you look at him, he's got a chance to be a dominant three-technique in the NFL. He plays with great passion, explosive first step."
— McShay
Projected round: Second, third
Height: 6-7. Weight: 295.
Scouting report: A Canadian drafted by the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year. Has battled several injuries and broke a foot at the Senior Bowl. His best NFL role is probably as a 3-4 defensive end or a pass rusher in sub-packages.
Insider's take: "You'd like to see him get a little stronger. ... But you've got definitely somebody you can develop there."
— Jeremiah
Projected round: Middle rounds

Politics Aside?
What should be the classification of those Ft Hood shootings? Should survivors get Purple Hearts? The heroes given other combat commendations? Victims/Survivors given full combat benefits.
Why would be this classified as "workplace violence?" What political gain would come to the Administration by not calling this an act of terror three years before a reelection campaign? Is there an honorable explanation?

Yes they should get purple hearts! They got shot by an Al'Queda infiltrator. Its no different than when Afghan Al'Queda infiltrators shoot them in Afghanistan.
As for heros... I would think the police officer that shot his ass should be decorated- and probably was by her department. Also, I think the military should consider any acts possibly worthy of recognition connected to the event just as they would had they happened in Afghanistan or Iraq. The war came to Ft. Hood that day, no question. - 1:33 PM
To answer your question ALa: NO.

The instant story out on NPR was that we had did not have reliable information about what he said. This in spite of report after report that he did indeed yell what he did. I used to think that the absolute knee jerk reaction of the left to deny the patently obvious was based on denial and fear of the Muslims. I have come to see that the reason is more based in hatred for the right who point out the totally obvious adn who want to take action on the facts. The left are not really very action oriented. They talk a good game, "support" this and that, but leave action to the "activists" and union thugs.
Well, the Libyan Ambassador worked in Libya, right? Sounds like another case of violence in the workplace. Would anyone even be surprised if Obama said as much tonight?

This was terrorism...and there is no honorable explanation for not calling it what it is.

Not terrorism. He would have had to be a member of a terrorist organization. Simply being Moslem is not enough even if motivated by Jihadist sentiments. He was an officer in the US Army. To give his victims a medal for wounds at the hands of the enemy would be to declare our own officers enemies. While that may be a popular sentiment in the ranks, it isn't true.

No, no, no. You don't have to be a member of an organization to be a terrorist. Terrorism isn't a philosophy. It's a tactic. Now in this case, I wouldn't call it an act of terrorism because the targets were military, not unarmed civilians. In this case, it's an act of war because he committed the murders on behalf of our declared enemies. Therefore, the victims deserve purple hearts.
