News and Announcements
Wayne Law alumna Valerie Newman to be honored with Headliner Award
March 27, 2013
Valerie Newman, a 1992 graduate of Wayne State University Law School, will be honored April 27 by the Women of Wayne Alumni Association.
Newman is an assistant defender of the State Appellate Defender Office (SADO) in Detroit, and last year was named one of Michigan Lawyer Weekly's 20 Women in the Law and also honored with the first Thomas Award for Excellence in Appellate Advocacy by SADO. In 2012, Lawyers USA named Newman a Lawyer of the Year — one of only seven from across the country. In 2010, she was nominated and accepted as a Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation, an honor accorded to no more than 5 percent of Michigan lawyers. Newman often speaks at the Law School to benefit students, and is an adjunct clinical professor at Wayne Law and at the University of Michigan Law School.
In 2011, Newman successfully argued for her client before the U.S. Supreme Court in Lafler v. Cooper. The court's decision has been recognized as a watershed opinion clarifying that the constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel includes guilty plea negotiations. She also recently litigated the highly publicized case of People v. Thomas (and Raymond) Highers, which resulted in the release of two men who each had served 25 years of incarceration for crimes they did not commit.
Newman has represented hundreds of clients on appeal since she started working at SADO in 1995. She's also an active community volunteer. She received the 2010 Community Role Model Award from Alternatives for Girls, and the 2009 Volunteer of the Year Award from the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan Foundation. In 2012, the Justice Caucus honored Newman, a founding board member of the group and chair of its Judicial Endorsement Committee, with its Spirit of Millie Jeffrey Award for her commitment to equal access to justice.
She is active within the State Bar of Michigan, and has served on numerous committees, including as co-chair of the Task Force on the Recording of Custodial Interrogations. In 2012, Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law important legislation that was prepared and lobbied for by this Task Force. The new law will mandate the recording of custodial interrogations in serious felony cases. Newman was instrumental throughout the process.
She currently co-chairs the Criminal Issues Initiative, the Task Force on Eyewitness Identification Issues and is a member of Justice Initiatives. She was a featured panelist at the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police Conference in February 2013, speaking about the work of both task forces.
She's an active member of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan and of the National Lawyers Guild, of which she's a former president.
The Women of Wayne Alumni Association will recognize Newman and three other WSU alumnae —Catrina Hurst, Sultana Nurun Nahar and Barbara Phillips — during a luncheon for their headline-making achievements, calling attention "to the fact that Wayne State women are making their marks in society."
The awards luncheon will take place at the Western Golf Club in Redford. Reservations are needed by April 6.
Note: Assistant Defender Valerie Newman, an expert on arguing before the Supreme Court, on the importance of the Gideon ruling and on the modern day application of a criminal defendant's right to counsel, is available to speak to media. Contact Carol Baldwin, director of communications and marketing for the Law School, at 313-577-4629 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After years of sitting quietly in dark and damp tropical forests, shining flashlights under rocks and across riverbeds, and listening carefully for frog calls in the night, a team of Indian scientists have something to croak about. They confirmed the existence of 12 new kinds of night frog by description, as well as genetics.
The new species include three particularly interesting frogs. The first, the meowing night frog, has a croak that sounds like the call a cat would make. The second, the jog night frog, is the only known species of frog whose males and females both watch over the eggs. The third frog, the Wayanad night frog, grows to the size of a baseball. "It's almost like a monster in the forest floor, a huge animal for a frog, leaping from one rock to another," says the project's lead scientist, Sathyabhama Das Biju of the University of Delhi.
Discovering Amphibians Again
Beyond the 12 new species of frog, the team also rediscovered three known species. One of them, the Coorg night frog, was originally described 91 years ago. But scientists had ignored them for some time because they thought the animal was already extinct.
The discoveries raise the known number of frog types in India to 336. Biju, who is credited with discovering dozens of new Indian frog species during his 35-year career, estimated that this total is only about half of what is in the wild. He noted that none of India's amphibians are yet being studied for biological compounds that could be of further use in science.
"We first have to find the species, know them and protect them, so that we can study them for their clinical importance," Biju says.
Conservation Concerns
Night frogs are extremely hard to find. They come out only at dark and during the monsoon season and live in either fast-flowing streams or on moist forest ground. The team hopes their intrepid efforts will bring better exposure to India's amphibians and their role in gauging the health of the environment.
Frogs are extremely important indicators not just of climate change, but also pollutants in the environment," says Biju.
According to the Global Wildlife Conservation, 32 percent of the world's known amphibian species are threatened with extinction. The threat is mostly a result of habitat loss or pollution.
Many of the newly found frogs in India are rare and live in only one area. For these reasons, they will need rigorous habitat protection, explains Biju.
Unfortunately, conservation in India has basically focused on the two most charismatic animals — the elephant and the tiger. For amphibians there is "little interest, little funding, and frog research is not easy."

Anyone from the Beehive State? I'm in Roy.
West Valley/Magna area
Doesn't appear to be to many from our area. Of course the way dealers treat us could be some of the reason. I know Dodge is selling quite a few trucks in this territory.
SLC(Brickyard/Millcreek area)
Sold my 85 Chev about 6 months ago and just picked up a 98 Silverado with 75k miles on it about a month ago.
Nice . Post pics when you can
Any more Utahns?
Nice pics guys. We need to build on our state geting on this site. We have many chevrolets in this state

Sen. Charles Schumer wants the Transportation Security Administration to reverse its newly announced plan to allow passengers to bring small knives and other items, like golf clubs and hockey sticks, onto planes.
Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday the TSA's new policy puts passengers and crew members in danger. He said the items, which were banned after the Sept. 11 attacks, could be used as weapons.
"While it's true that pilots are safe, locked behind cockpit doors, these dangerous items still pose a significant hazard to the flight crew, other passengers, and even the integrity of the plane," said Schumer.
Schumer is the latest public figure to join a growing opposition to the proposed plan, which is set to be implemented April 25.
On Friday, the head of Delta Air Lines voiced his opposition to allowing small knives on planes in a letter to TSA Administrator John Pistole obtained by The Associated Press.
Aviation insurers as well as unions representing flight attendants, pilots and federal air marshals have also publically opposed the plan.
Items like box cutters and razor blades are still prohibited under the new policy. But passengers will be allowed to include in their carry-on luggage novelty-size baseball bats less than 24 inches long, toy plastic bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs.
Knives permitted under the policy must be able to fold up and have blades that are 2.36 inches or less in length and are less than 1/2-inch wide.
Some people just act weird on planes and in airports.
So a lot of people were being stabbed prior 9/11 on planes?
Why would someone choose to stab people on a plane but not in other tight situations like offices, concerts, sporting events, etc? It's silly. The is the first common sense thing the TSA has done.
So a lot of people were being stabbed prior 9/11 on planes?
Why should flight attendants and airline passengers receive special protection above me at a restaurant?
So smaller commuter planes reliy on lock pins that slide into the door frame on the aircraft to hold the door in place
You obviously don't know the facts and are shooting from the hip. Give me time and I'll provide some information.

Did this mod and wanted to share in case anyone wanted to do something similar.
So since ive had my Fett, ive been trooping with an Aker amp in one of my belt pouches, but it always bothered mer that the sound was coming out from my lower region. So being that the amp itself is too thick to put behind Fett's chest plate, what i decided to do was a simple mod to the aker amp.
I removed the speaker and extended the wire soldered to the speaker itself and added a 1/8" male jack to it.
I then added the female end of a 1/8" jack into the case that houses the board.
I then hot glued the speaker into the chest plate and ran the wire through the vest, similar to the chest display. This way the speaker is in the chest and gives more of a feel the sound is coming from the helmet, and not m y crotch lol.
Here is the back of the chestplate with the speaker with extended wire and 1/8" jack
Here is the amp with the new jack installed for the speaker. (its the middle one)

Reviews for this host's other properties
We enjoyed our stay in Prag. The flat was nice but small. Its really silent. What I consider not so good was that the 'kitchen' does not include the possibility to cook (its just a microwave).
The room was nice cosy and clean. Everything you need is there, microwave, Koffie - machine and a good private bathroom. Great reception from you max! Eating in Prague is nice and cheap so there was no need to cook for ourselves.
We had a great time in Prague and we would like to visite Prague again some time in the future.
We strongly recommend this nice appartement.
Friendly host, good location (quiet). Close to everything you need. And even a 24/7 supermarket at the corner, restaurants also across the street. The appartment is well equipped and you even have your own bathroom! Would definately recommend it!
Apartment was really nice and clean. Everything was well arrenged and the host was helpful and friendly. I can recommend the apartment and could visit again.

Cast members April Hufty and Josue Gonzales and poster
UTSA presents premiere March 4-6 of opera, 'Gods of Mischief'
(Feb. 25, 2005)--The UTSA Lyric Theatre presents the world premiere of "Gods of Mischief," a comic opera by New York composer Seymour Barab, at 7:30 p.m. March 4 and 5, and 3 p.m. March 6 in the Buena Vista Theatre at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
The opening benefit performance will feature UTSA President Ricardo Romo as the voice of Zeus, supreme ruler of Mount Olympus. Additionally, the opera production with a student cast includes flying gods, utilizing equipment such as that used in "Peter Pan" with Cathy Rigby and the current Broadway hit, "Wicked."

The production is supported by The Opera Guild of San Antonio, The Tobin Foundation for Theatre Arts and the City of San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs.
At an additional musical event, UTSA student vocalists will perform "The Music of Seymour Barab" at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 3 in the Arts Building Recital Hall on the UTSA 1604 Campus. Barab will discuss his works at the recital. The concert is free and open to the public.
The new opera is the story of young gods, Thesalia and Spiros, who are seeking amusement to overcome the monotony of their lives. They make a wager over who will succeed first at charming a human into falling in love with him.
Knowing the gods to be mischief-makers, Zeus forbids them to interfere in human affairs by using their divine powers to influence the outcome of the bet. They disobey him, wreaking havoc among the mortals. It takes the direct intervention of Zeus to straighten things out.
Composer Seymour Barab has more than 50 years' experience as a cellist and studio musician and has composed numerous operas including "Toy Shop" and "Little Red Riding Hood," the most performed children's opera in the world. He composed the music for "Cosmos Cantata" with text by author Kurt Vonnegut.
According to Allen Hughes of the New York Times, "What impresses about Mr. Barab as a composer is that he seems to achieve his effects effortlessly... This is music of high spirits and good will with just a hint of devilishness thrown in."
Barab was cellist for many years in the NBC and CBS orchestras, performing as a studio musician on numerous albums including sessions with The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, among many others.
Barab became acquainted with William McCrary, director of the UTSA Lyric Theatre and "Gods of Mischief," when McCrary wrote his doctoral dissertation on Barab. McCrary enthusiastically agreed to direct the premiere of the new opera.
"This production would not have happened without the support and encouragement of The Opera Guild of San Antonio and Margaret King Stanley, and The Tobin Foundation for Theatre Arts," said McCrary. "We thank them and the City of San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs for making it possible."
Prior to coming to UTSA, McCrary taught voice and opera theater at the University of New Orleans. He earned a doctor of arts degree in voice performance, pedagogy and opera direction at the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. McCrary received a master of music degree in voice performance at San Francisco State University and a bachelor of music degree from the University of Montana.
Admission to the March 4 performance benefiting the UTSA Lyric Theatre is $75, including an after-performance reception with the composer at Pico de Gallo restaurant. Tickets for the March 5 and 6 performances are $15, $10 for students.
For tickets, call (210) 458-5685. Tickets also are available at the door.

At this moment, a spacecraft is aimed straight at Pluto, heading out toward the edge of the Solar System at speeds faster than 50,000 miles an hour. The New Horizons probe was launched in 2006. But even at that blistering speed, it won't arrive until 2015.
Mission scientists don't want to waste a moment when it finally gets there, so they've been scouting ahead with the Hubble Space Telescope to see if there's anything unusual to photograph. They are also looking for any hazards to avoid—rings, for example, which could damage or even destroy a space probe that smashed through them at high speed.
The image that popped up in Hubble's gallery on June 28 revealed that Pluto has a moon nobody knew about. The moon will be known as P4 until it is given a real name. It joins Charon, discovered by a U.S. Naval Observatory telescope in 1978; and Nix and Hydra, spotted by Hubble, in 2005.
There's a good reason P4 escaped notice until now: its small size makes it all but impossible to see from Earth. "We always knew it was possible there were more moons out there," says Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder. Stern is the principal investigator of the New Horizons mission and a co-discoverer of the new moon. "Lo and behold, there it was," Stern says.
A Close Encounter
Even though New Horizons will be flashing past Pluto at blinding speed, the total encounter will last for weeks. "Lots of people think we're going to go by on a Tuesday or something," says Stern. But New Horizons will start getting better images than the Hubble—and thus the best ever taken of Pluto and its moons—starting ten weeks before the flyby, and lasting ten weeks afterward. The probe's closest approach will happen on July 14, 2015.
Naming a New Moon
Tiny P4 needs a real name. "We're tossing around some ideas," says Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. "But the name has to come out of Greek mythology associated with Hades and the underworld."
The International Astronomical Union has to formally approve the names of heavenly objects. There are strict guidelines for what's permitted. Underworld myths are the rule for moons of Pluto.
The IAU is also responsible for the decision in 2006 to demote tiny Pluto, just one-half the size of Earth's moon, to the status of "dwarf planet." Showalter says he doesn't think it matters what you call Pluto. "Think of bonsai trees," he says. "The fact that they're so small is what makes them interesting. So if you don't like the term 'dwarf planet,' just think of Pluto as a bonsai planet."

In case you have missed the announcement, the reason that the forum has been slow at times since the minor version update the other day is due to a Denial of Service attack, brute force attack on our email, and judging by the lag with our FTP response, that too. If you're feeling like you're experiencing a glitch in the Matrix, you're not wrong. This is the same MO as the attack in September 2016 that occurred when we transitioned to the new version 4 of the software. We're currently working with US and UK cyber-crime departments, who specialise in this sort of thing, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to track them down this time by using the accumulated evidence already held.
We are pretty certain that it's a continuation of the same attack last year, only at a reduced intensity to deter people from using the site "because it's terribly slow", rather than taking it down completely, and we're also sure of the motivations of those responsible. Spite.
Please bear with us in the interim, and wish us luck in dealing with these.... "people".

I'm actually 50/50 on trading Osi.* I'm OK either way. Having a pass rusher like Osi for one more year is (footballwise) a good thing.* Its the non football stuff that could be a problem for us.* He could make everybody's life miserable.

Getting a third round pick and freeing up $5MM in cap room is also a good thing.* Pass our problem child on to someone else.

Maryland's Strategy for Filling the Teacher Pipeline
As part of a series to share noteworthy programs from each of the 16 career clusters, this fourth article in OVAE Connection focuses on the Education and Training Career Cluster. Previous issues covered agriculture, food and natural resources; science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); and transportation, distribution and logistics.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the educational services field is targeted for growth in the next decade, offering students strong job potential, and thus is a career path worthy of serious consideration. BLS projects wage and salary employment growth of 12 percent in the educational services industry between now and 2018, with an estimated need for 2.4 million new teachers. To fill that need, in 2008, the state of Maryland established the Teacher Academy of Maryland (TAM) believing that students from the academy are more likely to enter college-level teacher preparation programs. As a step towards filling the need, Maryland has established at least one teacher academy in each of 11 local school systems. Nearly 1,000 Maryland students have enrolled in teacher academy courses designed for students who intend to pursue a career as an elementary, middle or high school teacher.
TAM is a Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE)-approved Career and Technology Education (CTE) Program of Study and is aligned with the states' Education and Training Career Cluster. It was also part of OVAE's College and Career Transitions Initiative (CCTI) Education and Training TEACH Institute at Anne Arundel Community College). TAM was developed collaboratively among local school systems, community colleges, four-year institutions, and representatives from the university system of Maryland, the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC), and MSDE.
OVAE Funds Virtual ELL University to Boost Instructional Quality
OVAE announced last week that, after a national competition, it awarded a three-year contract to DTI Associates in which it is investing more than $2.2 million in a new state-of-the-art National Adult English Language Learning Professional Development Network, also known as English Language Learning University (ELL University). The investment will identify, enhance, and create training resources to help teachers deliver quality English language instruction to adults. ELL University will provide teachers with access to a team of expert faculty, a quarterly online course catalogue, academic departments to enhance their professional growth and practical resources aligned to individual needs of instructors of adult English Language Learners. ELL University will offer faculty office hours, learning clubs, course registration and catalogues and campus life activities that simulate a university experience. For more details, check the OVAE website, under adult education and literacy, during the next few weeks.
Margaret Kirkpatrick Named Colorado's New State Director of Adult Education
Margaret Kirkpatrick has been selected as Colorado's new state director of adult education. Kirkpatrick recently retired from her position as principal of California's Berkeley Adult School. Prior to that, she served as program director of the University of California Berkeley Extension's adult education and vocational educational credential program and directed a staff development institute serving adult educators. Kirkpatrick is a Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment Systems (CASAS) national trainer for implementation, employability competency, and continuous improvement measure implementation. She also was vice president of the California Council for Adult Education (2006-09) as well as president-elect in 2010, and she served as principal writer of the adult education state plan for the California Department of Education. Kirkpatrick received the 2006 Award of Merit from the California Council for Adult Education.
OVAE Connection will be on vacation next week. See you August 12!

Iowa State University Extension Revises Nutrient Management Recommendations
rticle | Wed, 10/09/2013 - 13:32 | By Ed Adcock, Antonio Mallarino, John Sawyer
AMES, Iowa — Advances in soil-testing research has led Iowa State University Extension and Outreach agronomists to revise recommendations for phosphorus, potassium and lime.
"Field research is conducted continuously to assure that nutrient management suggestions are up to date," said Antonio Mallarino, an extension agronomist and professor of agronomy. "This research has indicated some recommendations should not be changed, but other recommendations needed significant change to optimize nutrient management in order to improve the profitability and sustainability of crop production."
He and John Sawyer, agronomy professor and extension agronomist, have updated the extension publication "A General Guide for Crop Nutrient and Limestone Recommendations in Iowa" (PM 1688). It is available to download at no charge from the Extension Online Store https://store.extension.iastate.edu/.
Mallarino said the most significant changes are:
- Include interpretations for the new moist- and slurry-based test for potassium (K)
- Changes to soil-test interpretations categories for K using dried soil samples
- Adjustments to both crop nutrient concentrations and default crop yields needed to estimate nutrient removal for maintaining soil-test levels in the optimum category
- Discontinued using the P and K subsoil categories for interpretations
He indicated recent research showed the moist- and slurry-test for K is more reliable at assessing K fertilization needs of crops than the commonly used test based on dried soil samples, even with the improved interpretations for the dry test.
The agronomists maintained many of the current recommendations farmers use to determine soil fertility, including:
- The general concept of phosphorus (P) and K recommendations are for long-term profitability and reduced risk of yield loss, by emphasizing crop response-based applications for the very low and low soil test classes, and removal-based maintenance based on estimated crop removal with harvest for the optimum soil test class.
- Interpretation categories for current tests, such as Bray-P1, the colorimetric version of the Mehlich-3 test, and the ICP (inductively-coupled plasma).
- Amounts of P and K recommended for grain production in the very low and low soil test interpretation categories.
- The soil pH considered sufficient for crops.
- Interpretations for micronutrients, which currently include only recommendations for zinc (Zn) in corn or sorghum. Ongoing research studying several micronutrients for corn and soybean has not been completed.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by UnoDallas, Oct 1, 2011.
over R Griffen
but I sure like T Wilson from Ark
That's crazy. RG3 has been better longer than Tannehill.
This.RG3 has improved tremendously as a passer,he is very accurate.
Tannehill yup
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
Height: 6-4. Weight: 219.
Projected 40 Time: 4.61.
Projected Round (2012): 3-4.
9/7/11: Tannehill started out the season well. He completed 21-of-26 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions. Tannehill is a good game manager who throws the ball accurately. He distributes the ball well and takes advantage of a good supporting cast.
8/18/11: After playing wide receiver in 2008 and 2009, Ryan Tannehill became the starting quarterback during the 2010 season.
completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,638 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in seven games at quarterback.
The background as a wide receiver can be seen in the athletic Tannehill. He is an elusive runner with deceptive speed.
Tannehill needs more time to develop as a signal caller. His accuracy and mechanics are definitely a work in progress.
For a team looking for a developmental, backup quarterback that could contribute in a Wildcat package, Tannehill could be a good mid-round pick.
Tannehill is a gamer and should impress coaching staffs in pre-draft meetings.
He needs more work as a passer, but is showing some developmental talent to evaluators.
I like Tannehill better than Mcgee
Well I like RG3 better than both.
Tannehill struggles with his accuracy and clock management. No thank you.
Give me an accurate passer who's willing to learn to make the reads.
You can't teach accuracy.
I say he pretty accurate
today what was he 25-35 for 240 + yards
Ryan Tannehill and Why I'm Not Sold
Some scouts, both NFL and internet, feel Tannehill is a 1st round quarterback prospect, maybe the best senior in this class. I've heard their points, considered their opinions (at least the people who's evaluations I trust), and re-watched film. And based on that and the Oklahoma State game this past weekend, my opinion is still firm: Ryan Tannehill is not a franchise quarterback in my eyes.
He played at times this past weekend, no question.. He's confident in his feet and can make plays outside the pocket. Maybe the most impressive asset of his game is his pocket poise. Even this past weekend on a few plays, he read the pressure, moved within the pocket, kept his eyes down field, re-set his feet, and delivered a throw on the money. His development in that area, in my opinion, combined with his arm at least gets him in the door for the NFL. He anticipates his receivers routes well and isn't afraid to making a throw before his receiver is out of his break.
But Tannehill overall is very predictable in what he wants to do. He stares down his target too obviously and struggles to check down effectively. He forces passes to his early target and doesn't scan the field all that well pre-snap. He doesn't have great touch on deep passes, and more or less lays up a jump pass down the field instead of put the ball accurately. His overall arm is good, not great. While he can put velocity behind short passes, as he goes deeper, he struggles to keep good velocity and put balls into tight windows.
Overall, I'm more sold on the complete skill set of Kirk Cousins of Michigan State and like Ryan Lindley (San Diego State), BJ Coleman (Chattanooga), Nick Foles (Arizona), and Dominique Davis (East Carolina) as fellow solid senior quarterbacks. Tannehill is still in the Top 4 round mix in my mind, but no 2nd round talent
I am ready to draft Griffin now.
If a quarterback falls to us in the first, then maybe we have to pull the trigger.
RG3, Landry Jones, whoever...
Do whatever is necessary to draft Griffin.
Are you kidding me?
RG3 is going to be outstanding. Accurate, athletic, cannon arm, smart. He's complete. We'll likely have no shot to draft him, but I would absolutely love to have him sit and wait to become the next Cowboys QB.
Griffin's last game: 23/31 (74.2%), 346 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT. The dude is a beast. Oh by the way, he's ridiculously smart.
lol he is will be lucky to even start in the NFL
he's ridiculously smart
guess that wins lots of games
opps hie int lead to his team losing yesterday
c'mon man your hate on griffen is making it difficult to take you seriously. you want to bang on Griffen's lone interception of the season and in the same breath tell me you want Tannehill after his second half tank job the last 2 weeks. Although Tannehill does look like the second coming of Romo
I think Luck and RGIII are going 1 and 2
And that was his WORST game of the season, he's a stud.
Love RG III but he still needs some work. He's not the scrub that UnoDallas is making him out to be but he's not on Andrew Luck's level yet either as an NFL prospect. He needs to sit for a few years like Aaron Rodgers before I think he'd be ready to start for a team + he needs to get stronger to prepare himself for the hits he'll take in the NFL.
If anything though, coming back for his senior year would be in his best interest. This year is his coming out party nationally. Next year is when I expect him to take it to the next level to where he can cement himself as the best QB in the nation and best QB in the draft.
This thread makes me
he threw a INT, nope sorry, you have to be prefect as a cowboys QB or the fans will turn on you.

Savoring freshly baked dishes is one of the greatest joys of cooking food at home. Our ovenware collections provide you with a large selection of different forms of pans and dishes to help you prepare home cooked cakes, breads, tarts, pies, soufflés, casseroles and other delicious treats. Williams-Sonoma offers ovenware in a variety of materials, colors and styles to choose from. Browse high-quality trusted brands such as Le Creuset, Chantal and All-Clad.
When choosing new ovenware, focus on the kinds of meals you want to prepare in them. For all-purpose baking, a baker is an excellent choice. You can use bakers to prepare various dishes such as cakes, breads, casseroles, gratins and roasts. These pans and dishes come in square, rectangular, round and oval forms and feature varying depths to handle bubbling casseroles as well as pan cookies. You can find options with or without lids and handles as well. Lids are helpful for making casseroles and roasts. Handles make it easier to take your baker out of the oven while using pot holders. Some bakers are designed for specific purposes, such as making tarts, gratins or poached dishes. However, you can still often use these to prepare other kinds of foods as well.
Casseroles are deeper baking dishes with lids. These lids help keep moisture in the pan, which prevents drying and burning. True to their name, you can use casserole dishes to make casseroles, but they are also ideal for preparing small roasts, stews and roasted vegetables.
Ramekins and mini cocottes are small, round baking forms. Ramekins usually do not include lids, whereas mini cocottes do. Ramekins are handy for making soufflés and small cakes. Mini cocottes are useful for preparing personal-sized baked dishes. Some soufflé recipes call for a water bath, which involves letting the ramekin sit in a dish of warm water before baking to help regulate the temperature. If you regularly make soufflés, you may find that a large, flat dish or a rectangular baker is a useful accessory to have on hand.
Ovenware is made of several different materials. Stoneware is a kind of ceramic that is popular for casseroles and bakers. It is tough enough to resist high temperatures and forms good crusts on baked dishes. It also has nonstick properties, which makes it easy to clean. Oven-safe glass is another choice in ovenware for the same reason. Many ovenware items include nonstick coatings. These are convenient and quick to wash, but you should take care while cooking with this material. Do not use knives to cut into cakes and squares, and only use wooden or synthetic utensils while preparing and serving dishes. You can also find ovenware in metals such as cast-iron, copper and stainless-steel. Cast-iron and copper help distribute heat evenly throughout the dish, which makes it a great choice for oven baking. Stainless-steel is a great heat conductor and is very durable, so you can enjoy your cookware for many years.
Most ovenware is fairly low maintenance. Many stoneware, glass and stainless-steel pieces can go in the dishwasher, which makes cleaning quick and easy. Wash pieces with nonstick coatings by hand with a gentle brush or sponge. If your cast-iron ovenware does not have a coating, let it soak in warm water before cleaning debris away with a brush. Let it dry fully before storing it in your cabinet.
While you enjoy planning all the meals and desserts you'll be making in your bakeware, you can also stock your kitchen with useful baking accessories. Handy utensils include large serving and mixing spoons, whisks, spatulas, flippers and tongs. A bread knife is a useful tool for slicing breads, cakes and squares that you've created. Always keep a pair of oven mitts or potholders on hand too, to safely remove your piping hot meals and baked goods from the oven, ready to enjoy.

The All Blacks' reputation has taken a battering in recent weeks, but to skipper Richie McCaw it's very much background noise. He knows his side are not dirty, that the Andrew Hore and Adam Thomson incidents were not malicious, pre-meditated cheap shots because, says the 115-cap veteran, that is simply not the All Black way. Certainly not the way of the side he captains.
The hysterical reactions to Hore's clumsy challenge on Bradley Davies, which earned the hooker an eight week ban reduced to five, has neither perplexed nor outraged McCaw. The video evidence may not have looked good, Davies being left unconscious didn't look good but the senior All Blacks and management are all satisfied that Hore was trying to cleanout, or more accurately hook the Welsh lock out of the way of the impending ruck.
Hore says he was aiming for the shoulders, got the timing wrong, got the execution wrong and ended up clubbing Davies around the chops. It was clumsy and ill-advised, but not, as the judicial officer was happy to accept, a closed fist intentional strike to the head.
"I think if you ask all of the boys and certainly myself, I don't think that has got any place in rugby or in sport; you don't play the game for that sort of stuff," says McCaw on why it is important to him that he's not perceived to be captain of a dirty team.
"The odd things happens, I understand that because it is a contact sport. If you have got people going out there to deliberately take cheap shots, to beat people up or whatever, that's not sport and I would hate to be involved in a team that does.
"I don't know how I would have gone in a footy team in days gone by when it was part of the game ... and I would hate to have men in the team that are like that and I can honestly say that none of our team are like that. There are some hard buggers in there for sure, don't get me wrong.
"I am not saying we are always 100 per cent squeaky clean but they are rare things when they happen. I would be bloody disappointed to be in a team like that and I understand the perception is like that. But what can you do about it? The odd little thing probably adds some ammo. To be honest it is background noise, a bit like when people have a crack about the way you play the game. We are here to play."
McCaw, who has once again made the shortlist for the coveted IRB player of the year award, knows better than anyone in the world game what it is like to be the perennial victim of cheap shots.
The skipper has been specifically targeted 11 times in the past six years - been subjected to acts of foul play that have ended with the perpetrators being cited..
There were two particularly bad assaults this year - Dean Greyling using his forearm on McCaw's face in Dunedin and Scott Higginbotham head-butting and kneeing him in Brisbane. In both instances there was no retaliation or heated reaction from McCaw's teammates, suggesting that the All Blacks may have instigated a policy of consciously not getting involved when they see opposition foul play.
It's not quite that clean-cut says McCaw. "The first thing with the team is that you stand up for your mates - there is no doubt about that," he says. "If someone is having a swing don't worry, they [teammates] will be in there. But if it is a one-off whack and it is finished, there is no point going in there.
"Guys understand that if you see a cheap shot and the whistle has gone and it has been in front of the referee, there is no point - you are just going to make yourself look stupid and that doesn't help the team and you as an individual are going to lose out and end up on a little holiday as well.
"As a team we certainly don't go out looking for that sort of stuff.. But you have got each other's backs if you need to.
"As I say there is no point when the referee sees it, it does nothing, we need to play the game and what do you achieve by having a swing at someone? Not a lot ... nothing. Wait until that guy gets the ball next and smash him in the tackle, make sure he gets cleaned out that way."

Both Hope College swimming and diving teams have been honored for academic excellence during the 1997-98 school year by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.
This is the sixth time in seven years that both teams have achieved Academic All-America status from the coaches association. The women's team has been honored seven consecutive years.
To qualify as an Academic All-America team, the entire squad must average at least a 2.80 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
The Hope women's team ranked 11th among all NCAA Division III squads by maintaining a cumulative 3.38 GPA. Hendrix College of Arkansas topped the Division III women's honor roll with a 3.54 GPA. Three other MIAA colleges made the women's honor roll -- Albion, 7th (3.43); Alma, 50th (3.07) and Kalamazoo, 51st (3.06).
The Hope men's team ranked 16th in the NCAA Division III category with a cumulative 3.17 GPA. Oberlin College of Ohio led the Division III men's honor roll with a 3.46 GPA. Three other MIAA colleges made the men's honor roll -- Albion, 10th (3.20); Kalamazoo, 12th (3.18) and Alma, 39th (2.93).
In addition, five Hope swimmers were designated Academic All-Americans by the coaches association. To qualify the student-athlete needed to have qualified for the NCAA Division III national championships and maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average.
Hope swimmers honored were Daniel Daly and Laural Horton, both from East Grand Rapids (East Grand Rapids HS), Jarrod Lippert of Alma (Alma HS), Erinn Van Auken of Holland (West Ottawa HS), and Betsy VandenBerg of Beverly Hills (Southfield Christian HS). Daly was a junior at Hope this fall while Lippert was a sophomore and VandenBerg and Horton were freshmen.
The Hope teams are coached by John Patnott. Last year the women's teams won the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championship while the men's team finished second. Both teams had top ten finishes at the NCAA Division III national championships, the women's finishing fifth and the men

Blog | China, Egypt, Haiti, Pakistan, Russia, Security, USA
Global Media Forum cites risks of environmental reporting
He's young,
unemployed and carries himself with the innocence of a man who hasn't spent
much time outside his own village. But Egyptian blogger Tamer
Mabrouk is the real deal. Appearing at an international media conference in Bonn, Mabrouk's description of chemical dumping into a
brackish lagoon on the northern Nile Delta near the Mediterranean Sea was
punctuated by photos of unmistakable filth. He won over the audience when, in
response to a question on how one travels with sensitive material, Tamer deftly
removed a memory card secreted in an electronic device and held it in the air.
That, he said, is where he had carried documents for this trip.
