Perry Salute to the dough boy New Braunfels Herald 16 Pages in one section ■ Wednesday, September 13, 1995 Serving Comal County for more than 143 years ■ Home of EDGAR WESTBROOK <• V S^c>, JQS Vol. 143, No. 218 NBHS developing plan to curb dropout rate By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer The New Braunfels Independent School District has already implemented several strategies aimed at reducing the Hispanic dropout rate at the high school, and officials are already calling them a success. The state considers a school with a dropout rate above six percent for the total population, or any subgroup, to be low performing. New Braunfels High School was rated as "low performing" due to the Hispanic dropout rate, which was 6.6 percent. The total rate was 3.2 percent. Due to the rating, the district is required to form a strategy for addressing the problem, and to hold a public hearing at the campus outlining that strategy. NB1SD held the heanng Tuesday night, and told those present that steps have already been taken to reduce the dropout rate. NBHS Assistant Principal Judy Seifert presented the campus improvement plan to the board and the public. The plan is still only a draff. However, she said a lot of input was gathered from everyone involved. "We've had a great deal of parent input and teacher input and most importantly, site-based committee input," said Seifert. Seifert said as the problem was looked at, "two overriding factors" were noticed. The first was that the juvenile court system was not helping schools. The court was not filing on students who were not attending school or their parents. The second problem was that there was a lack of an effective alternative school until the 1994-95 school year, said Seifert. The plan presented outlined five steps that have already been taken to reduce the dropout rate. The first step was that a school truancy liaison has been assigned to the high school campus to make home visits and follow up on any student who has missed more than three consecutive days in one week. The guidance counselor has also developed a tracking system to find out where kids go arter they stop going to the school. "That was our first step, to get some additional help to track students, and we've done that," said Seifert. "Our strategy was a tracking strategy. Our fault was poor tracking." The school is also filing in Juvenile Court with Justice of the Peace Diane Campos. Her court will hear cases and place both students under 17 years of age and their parents under court order. lf the student is 17 years old or older, the parent is not placed under the order. "We've taken advantage of the fact that Ms. Campos has been so helpful with us, and wants to help us keep kids in school," Seifert said. The school is also screening students for placement in the 25 available spots in the alternative school, and is continuing to develop a tech-prep program that will entice more students to stay in school by offering job-specific training. "We graduated five students from the Ombudsman over the last year. We never would have graduated them without the program because these kids were comers and goers," said Seifert. Seifert said the truancy liaison has already been advantageous to the school. She said the total dropout rate is 0.69 percent, the white dropout rate is 0.34 percent, the Hispanic dropout rate is 1.13 percent, the black dropout rate is 0 percent, and the economic dis advantaged rate is 2 percent. "We've been successful in reducing the number. That doesn't mean we're pleased. We would like to see a zero dropout rate," she said. Audience members then addressed the board and administrators present. Several members volunteered to help the school in any way possible. Others offered suggestions on other ways to address the problem. Suggestions included bonging in positive role models at all levels, building the Community in School program to provide a support system, offer an incentive for the kids to finish and pass the TA AS test, and get input from those dropping out to see why they are leaving. "I don't think this issue is going to be solved here. It's an ongoing issue because its an ongoing issue in this nation," said NBISD parent Carlos Campos. EUWD to continue to meet until courts decide Edward Aquifer Authority's status By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer The Edwards Underground Water Distnct, which must continue to operate for an indefinite amount of time, voted at Tuesday's meeting to not levy a tax, and not participate in the legal suit challenging the Edwards Aquifer Authority. Craig Hollmig, Comal County representative, said there was a split vote not to levy a tax. He said it is his understanding that those voting against collecting taxes felt there was too much of an uncertainty about how long the district would be rn operation. He said the District will continue to operate on reserve funds. Hollmig said the board also voted not to participate at any level in the legal suit against the EAA. He said this was mainly a financial decision. "lf we're not going to levy taxes, why do we want to spend money on legal fees," he said. The EAA, which would have regulatory powers over the aquifer, was supposed to replace the Edwards Underground Water District in August. However, the Medina County Groundwater Conservation District is challenging the constitutionality of the law creating the Authority. A judge ruled Sept. I that EAA board members could be sworn in. However, the ruling said the board is restnct-ed from conducting any business other than hiring legal counsel. An Oct. 12 trial date has been set for the legal fight. The EAA held its first meeting Friday, at which it passed a resolution asking the Texas Attorney General to publicly support the Authority. The Edwards Underground Water District must continue operations until the courts tell it otherwise.

Robber strikes Faust Hotel By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer A man claiming he had a gun robbed the Faust Hotel at about 12:30 this morning. "This is the second time in about a month ,wo've had money stolen," said Cathy Carpenter, hotel manager. A man stole from the hotel in mid-August while the night clerk was away from the desk. Carpenter said. The first theft was a burglary, since no confrontation occurred between the thief and the clerk, said New Braunfels Police Detective Michael Osborne. The amount of money stolen is undetermined in both cases, police said. The hotel doors were locked when the robber knocked on the door and said he needed a room. Carpenter said. The night clerk let him in the side door and he came in. "He said he had a gun and asked her to give him the money from the cash register," Carpenter said. Then the man told the clerk to get on the elevator and go up to the fourth floor, which she did, Carpenter said. The man then left the building. "The thief didn't stick a gun in her face or cause any bodily harm," Osborne said. Police have some leads in the case, Osborne said. "The police responded quickly," Carpenter said. Carpenter plans to implement tighter security measures in the Faust as soon as possible, she said. They include video surveillance cameras and new night registration procedures — after 11 p.m. only people who were preregistered could enter the hotel. "The Faust will offer a reward for evidence leading to the caDture of the thief," Carpenter said. "Anybody with any information about the thefts is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 620-TIPS," Osborne said.

United Way thermometer starts its climb By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Last year the thermometer exploded at the beginning of December — Comal County givers exceeded the 1994 United Way goal. The 1995 United Way thermometer now stands on Main Plaza. United Way board members planted it there yesterday morning, setting their sights on bursting it again this year. The "mercury" has already nsen to $35,000, a healthy start on this year's $310,000 goal, said United Way Director Joe Work "We have to remember that the United Way benefits some 35,000 people county-wide," Worl said. The United Way helps fund nearly 30 area nonprofit organizations serv ing area residents. "Not just New Braunfels but the whole county — Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Marion, all of it — reaps rewards from the United Way," Worl said. "We're going to need suppoit from the whole county in order to reach our goal this year." One way to help the United Way cause is through an employee United Way drive in the workplace. Employees can pledge a small amount to go from each paycheck to the United Way. Those small amounts add up to a big helping hand for those in need in Comal County. Worl said. Individual contributions are always welcome as well For more information on how you can 'Make a World of Difference One Peace at a Time," call the United Way at 620-7760, ;

Daily Craig: Tale of two cities
If you didn't watch the UH win over Cincinnati last night you missed some serious Thursday speculation. For one thing, ESPN carried the game and Houston fans couldn't have been more excited. In Cincy, a town starved for winners given the hopeless Reds and the playoff doomed Bengals, this was also a very big deal. I got the impression the winner of the game would not only be on a track for the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP but would also get an automatic bid to the BIG 12. At game's end the COOGS had a runaway win that ran away in the last 9 minutes or so. I assume they are now in the BIG 12.
Cincinnati must be close to getting a BIG 10 bid because aside from OHIO ST. and MICHIGAN the lads from the midwest could use some help. Cincy IS PERFECT for them. I think the COOGS are thinking small. They could easily be a big shot in the PAC 12 and would get much fancier road trips. Stop kissing the butts of the OU and UT high rollers and start planning taking the family to L.A. and Eugene. Not that LUBBOCK isn't attractive.
According to the people I talked to last night Houston is a shoe in to get a BIG 12 bid. I JUST THINK they shouldn't limit their thinking to ONE CONFERENCE. , maybe the SEC would trade Missouri. I think that is a given.

Medical school to open on NMSU campus in 2016
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico will be getting its second school of medicine and it will be located on the New Mexico State University campus in Las Cruces.
The project comes at a price tag of $85 million, which will not come out of taxpayers pockets because it is privately funded.
The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine at NMSU will serve 150 students in its first year when it opens in Aug. 2016.
As part of the agreement with the university, BCOM has agreed to a long-term land lease for its facility at NMSU's Arrowhead Park. Construction on a new, 80,000-square-foot building to house the medical school
Gov. Susana Martinez said it was created specifically to address the shortage of doctors in New Mexico.
A report released by the Legislative Finance Committee in May 2013 said state residents could encounter growing problems of access to medical care due to the potential need of 2,000 physicians, 3,000 registered nurses and as many as 800 dentists.
The medical school is expected to generate $70 million into the state's economy and create 400 permanent jobs.
Martinez went on to call the medical school a border region project with the school securing partnerships with hospitals in Las Cruces, including Mountain View Regional Medical Center, Memorial Medical Center, and Las Palmas and Del Sol medical centers in El Paso.

Demo at Gamestop
Went into gamestop today to waste time until class and i see Playstation Allstars is playable, its not the full version but a demo that had Kratos, Parappa, Jak&Daxter, and Big Daddy playable. It may be a demo but it was very close to the final build i could tell and it was 10x smoother than the beta. Everything felt like it should of, i played 5 or 6 games alternating between Jak and Big Daddy. I cant wait for this game to come out, anyone having doubts should just put them away this game is going to be a great game for anyone to play.
Re: Demo at Gamestop
Re: Demo at Gamestop
Not sure if you know but this Demo is at least 2 months old and its an earlier build than the BETA and I can tell you its not smoother I've done some frame counting of every build I can get my hands on. I'm pretty sure the BETA runs smoother the kiosk demo has small frame drops and has some strange animations sometimes I have literaly hours of experience with both versions (was in Best Buy for like 2 hours with my bro when it first came out before I got it on my debug PS3) The BETA was the latest public build at the time. Plus you have to keep in mind when you're playin the performance depends on you connection speed, how many people use the connection in your house at the time. Also playin online and offline there can be a huge difference in "smoothness".

Re: Demo at Gamestop
But Yea I do agree that it is a great buld and that people shouldn't have to worry in terms of the polished finish of the game. Oh and the game glitches massivly if you do big Daddy's L3 sometimes the characters don't respawn right and people teleport and disappear when 2 characters do supers at the same time.

This application claims benefit of provisional application No. 60/133,215 filed May 7, 1999.
This invention relates to safety shut-off systems for agricultural irrigation systems, and, more particularly, to an improved wireless safety shut-off system that is reliably operable over an extended range of several miles.
In irrigation systems used in agricultural applications, a typical irrigation system consists of an electrically powered pivot system that circles a field comprising an agricultural crop. The irrigation system further includes a pumping unit that is usually a distance of several thousand feet or even a few miles from the pivot system. To avoid costly damage and wasted resources, the pivot system and pump unit has an automatic shut-off that is triggered by a loss in water pressure, a burn out of underground electrical lines, or a pipe breakage between the pump unit and the pivot system. Malfunctions of the drive motor on the pivot system tower or misalignment of the pivot system could also trigger an automatic shut-off of the pivot system and the pump unit.
In the conditions described, the result could be costly if the pivot system and the pump unit did not shut down properly. For instance, water could run in one place which would result in the system not restarting and could cause the field to erode and damage the crop and hamper harvesting. If an underground pipe broke, a large hole could form in the field that would require costly repairs. If the system was being used to spray nitrogen and the system kept watering, but the system stopped in one place, the nitrogen could harm the crop. Further, a stalled system could cause wastefulness in the use of water, fuel, and chemicals.
In practice, if a farmer does not have an operational safety on his irrigation system, he must operate his system manually with human supervision of the system's operating condition, or he risks severe damage to his crops. Electricity rates are generally cheaper during off-peak hours. Therefore, the farmer must stay awake and supervise the irrigation system at night to reduce costs by taking advantage of the lowest electricity rates.
In the prior art there are wireless type safety systems that are generally being used for water system control and sewage pump stations. However, these wireless systems are generally expensive because of the cost of materials to provide a reliable safety control system. For example, the cost of materials for a safety control system for one irrigation pivot system and one pumping unit would be a minimum of $4000 using known wireless systems. A system this expensive is generally cost prohibitive to farmers.
Other systems have been proposed that use radio waves for switching loads on and off. The systems include a radio transmitter and receiver and work well, except for two major faults. These prior radio wave wireless systems operated by having a transmitter and receiver in the line of sight of each other only. Further, these prior radio wave systems had a range of less than a mile. These disadvantages or faults cause the known methods of using radio waves for irrigation safety control systems to be impracticable because of the distance between a pivot system and a pumping unit in an irrigation system. Other known wireless systems such as cellular communications systems carry costly periodic charges.
The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned and other disadvantages of the prior art systems with a novel and improved wireless safety shut-off system that is reliably operable over an extended range of several miles.
The present invention provides a wireless irrigation control safety system having a range of two to four miles by using a transmitter operating at 10 watts and providing a 27.255 MHz frequency digital signal. A receiver is provided for receiving said digital signal. The extended range transmitter product used by the present invention is also used in the home security industry. However, this product and receiver did not prove to be very dependable for use in an irrigation control safety system without further improvement. In the known applications using the extended range transmitter and receiver disclosed herein, the transmitter sends one signal to the receiver. If the receiver does not recognize or receive the signal, nothing happens. Experiments found the receiver would fail to receive a signal about 10% of the time, which is an unacceptable fault rate for a critical function such as irrigation system safety control.
In the present invention, a signal is sent every 30 seconds from the transmitter to the receiver. The signal received from the transmitter causes the system to continue running. The signal is used at the receiver to latch a relay in the made position (pump on). This relay starts timing off at an adjustable rate, for example 100 seconds, when a signal is received from the transmitter by the receiver. Every time a signal is sent from the transmitter, the latch relay starts back at timing off at 100 seconds. This latch relay with time delay allows the receiver to miss three signals from the transmitter before the system will safety-off.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive and simple wireless safety shut-off system for agricultural crop irrigation systems.
It is another object of the invention to provide a wireless safety shut-off system that is very reliable.
It is yet another object of the invention is to provide a wireless safety shut-off system having a range of at least two miles.
Still a further object of the invention is to provide a wireless safety shut-off system for agricultural crop irrigation systems that may be packaged and marketed for others to install in the quantity required by the user.
And another object of the invention is to provide a means to replace old safety wiring in agricultural irrigation systems with a reliable wireless safety shut-off system.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the receiver panel of the present invention.
FIG. 1a is a schematic view of the relay output of the receiver contained within the receiver panel of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a typical irrigation system safety circuit.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the transmitter switch panel of the present invention.
FIG. 3a is a schematic view of the transmitter trigger device contained within the transmitter switch panel of the present invention.
FIGS. 4 and 4a are schematic views of a variation of the wireless safety control system of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a variation of the wireless safety control system of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a receiver panel unit 18 for the wireless safety control system. The receiver panel unit includes a multi-tap hook up terminal 20 for connecting a 120-volt AC power source or a 12-volt DC power source. All of the relays connected to the panel operate on 12-volt DC. Thus, a 120-volt AC to 12-volt DC transformer 22 is installed in each switch or panel to convert power provided at 120-volt AC to 12-volt DC so that the user can hook up to either power source without further action. The above features and others make the safety shut-off system herein one that may be packaged and marketed for others to install.
A time delay off relay 24 is connected to the 12-volt DC source and a switch 26 is provided to initiate contact with the relay 24. The signal received by a receiver 28 causes the time delay relay 24 to latch an internal solid state latching relay in the made position which causes the pump unit 34 to become and remain activated. Upon latching, the time delay relay 24 starts timing off at an adjustable rate. One-hundred seconds would be a suitable time delay for the relay 24 to time off if a signal is not received by the time delay relay start switch 26. When a subsequent signal is received from a transmitter 30 by the switch 26, the relay 24 resets and begins timing again for one-hundred seconds. The one-hundred second time delay permits the system to miss receiving three consecutive signals from the transmitter 30 before the relay 24 will safety-off. The delay process and requirement for the system to miss three consecutive signals before latching off creates a very reliable safety system that does not incur false safety-off occurrences. The preferred embodiment of the invention uses a solid state device 24 that includes a latching relay and a time delay relay in one unit 24. The solid state time delay relay 24 operates on 12 volts DC and provides a reliable and cost-effective relay. The time delay relay 24 receives its input from an output relay 32 on the radio frequency receiver 28 that receives a signal from the remote transmitter 30.
The receiver panel unit 18 further includes terminals 46 and 48 that connect to a starter of a pump unit 34 for automatic operation of the pump unit 34 or shut down circuitry of a diesel pump unit 34. Should the receiver 28 not receive a signal from the transmitter 30 in the one-hundred seconds allotted by the time delay relay 24, the receiver panel 18 will provide an output and trigger the shut down of the pump unit 34.
Typically, an irrigation system will include an irrigation control panel 36 located on the pivot system tower near the pivot axis of the pivot system. As shown, the irrigation control panel 36 has a safety circuit 38 with terminals 50 and 52 located on the irrigation control panel 36.
In the present invention, a transmitter switch panel 16 is connected to the irrigation control panel circuitry 36 and is powered by a 120-volt AC current that is converted to 12-volt DC. The transmitter switch panel 16 includes a repeat cycle solid state timer 42, labeled RC1 in FIG. 3, that operates on the 12-volt DC current and repeats its clock cycle at an interval of time. In the preferred embodiment, the repeat cycle timer 42 provides an on input cycle for two seconds and then times for a thirty second delay before it sends another two second on input cycle signal. These time delays may be set according to the desired application settings. The inventor has found that setting the time delay for fifteen seconds rather than thirty may cause transmitter 30 to overheat because of the transmission frequency. As long as the transmitter switch panel 16 is receiving power from the irrigation system control panel 36, the on input signal will be generated periodically by the timer 42 and will be carried by the transmitter switch panel circuitry 16 to triggering relay contacts 44 on the transmitter 30 that is connected to the timer 42. The transmitter triggering contacts 44 are set to the normally open position. Thus, when the on input signal is received by the transmitter 30, the transmitter contacts 44 close and send a latching signal to the receiver 28.
FIGS. 4 and 5 represent a variation of the wireless safety control system of the present invention. The system depicted in FIGS. 4 and 5 provide additional improvements to the basic control system unit shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. In particular, the design illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 provides safeguards against false activation signals and isolates the wireless safety system controls from the existing controls on the irrigation system.
The transmitter panel 54 of the irrigation safety control system shown in FIG. 4 includes a three position switch 56. When the switch is turned left to a start position 58, the circuit causes the transmitter 60 to transmit a signal at a first channel selection, channel A, by closing the relay 62, labeled CH-A, on the circuit. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, channel A is set as channel one on the transmitter 60 and receiver 72. The receiver panel circuitry 70 of FIG. 5 is configured such that a signal on channel A must be received for further operation. The switch 56 may be spring loaded when turned to the left start position 58 so that the switch 56 will automatically return to a middle or off position 64 when released. Transmitting the signal on the first channel, channel A, to the receiver 72 latches a twenty (20) second time delay off relay 74, labeled TD1, located in the receiver panel 70 as shown in FIG. 5. This gives the user twenty (20) seconds to turn the three position switch 56 to the right to a third position, which is the run position 66. The time delay of the time delay off relay 74 may be changed according to the users desired specifications.
When the switch 56 is turned to the run position 66 a repeat cycle relay 68, labeled RC1 in FIG. 4, is activated on the transmitter panel 54 causing the auxiliary contacts 75 to close. The repeat cycle relay 68 causes the transmitter 60 to transmit a signal at a second channel selection, channel B, by closing the channel B transmitter contacts 76, labeled as CH-B, on the transmitter panel circuit 54 of FIG. 4. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, channel B is set as channel four on the transmitter 60 and receiver 72. The channel B signal is activated by the repeat cycle relay 68 for two (2) seconds every thirty (30) seconds. The channel B signal cycle is repeated until the irrigation safety control system is turned off or until the safety circuit 38 on the irrigation system pivot control box is kicked out.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the receiver 72 receives a channel A signal and contacts 96 are closed, the internal switch 94 of time delay off relay 74 is activated and gives the user twenty seconds to turn the switch 56 to the run position 66 and cause the channel B signal to be transmitted to the receiver 72. During the twenty seconds that the time delay off relay 74 is energized and latched, the contacts 78 of the time delay relay 74 will be closed. If the channel B signal is not received by the receiver 72, the receiver panel 70 will not provide activation of the irrigation pump unit 34. However, if the channel B signal is received by the receiver 72, then the channel B contacts 100 are closed and an internal switch 98 is activated and latches a one-hundred second time delay off relay 80, labeled as TD2. The time delay of the second time delay off relay 80 may be varied according to the users desired settings and the timing of the repeat cycle relay 68 that causes the transmitter 60 to send a signal to the receiver 72.
Latching the time delay relay 80 activates the control relay 82, labeled as CO1, and closes the contacts 102. As the time delay off relay 80 is timing off for one-hundred seconds, the transmitter 60 is sending channel B signals to the receiver 72 every thirty (30) seconds as regulated by the repeat cycle relay 68. Every time the receiver 72 receives the channel B signal time delay off relay 80 resets at one-hundred seconds and begins timing off again. Time delay off relay 74 will time out at the end of 20 seconds, but time delay relay 80 will stay energized because relay 82 is latching the time delay off relay 80 at contacts 90. Therefore, the receiver 72 will continue to operate until channel B signals are no longer received. The receiver 72 may miss a two signals before the time delay off relay 80 will time out and cause the system shut off. While energized, the relay 82 holds closed a remotely mounted control relay 84, labeled as CO2, through isolated contacts 86 on the control relay 82. Dry contacts 88 on the control relay 84 are used to operate the pump unit 34. When channel B signals stop, the time delay off relay 80 will time out and relays 82 and 84 will de-energize causing the isolated contacts 86 and contacts 88 on the control relays 82 and 84 to open and cause the pumping unit 34 to stop.
In the embodiment disclosed, the receiver 28 is the model XR-1 receiver and receiver 72 is the model XR-4 receiver. Both preferred receivers are manufactured by Linear Corporation. The companion transmitters 30 or 60 are the models XT-1 and XT-4, respectively, also manufactured by Linear Corporation. The XR-1 and XR-4 receivers are known for use in various applications where the receiver receives a signal and performs an operation, but is unique in its present application for an irrigation safety control system that is reliable and uses repetitive latching circuitry. The receiver 28 or 72 is used for the present irrigation safety control system because it provides a means for receiving a digital signal from a companion transmitter 30 or 60 over a distance of two to five miles. Further, the transmitters and receivers described may operate without being within the line of sight of each other. The receiver units include two 8-position switches used to set the units' system codes. More than 65,536 codes are possible for the unit. The code set in the receiver is matched to the code of the companion transmitter. These codes may be preset to match the location as not to interfere with other like safety control systems that are nearby. These codes can be easily changed if there is any conflict.
The XT-1 and XT-4 transmitters are extended range FM frequency transmitters that send a 10 watts, 27.255 MHz, digital encoded, FSK modulated, signal to a companion receiver. The transmitters include switches to set one of more than 65,536 codes to coincide with the code set on the receiver described previously.
The component transmitting panels 16 and 54 and receiver panels 18 and 70 of the present invention are enclosed in weatherproof enclosures. Back plates of aluminum or similar heat conductive material may be provided, especially for the transmitter panel 16 or 54, to act as a heat sink to help cool the panels. Usually the safety system of the present invention will consist of one transmitter panel 16 or 54, which is located at the irrigation system location (i.e., the pivot system tower), and one receiver panel 18 or 70, which is located at the pump unit 34 location. Antennas are provided at each location for transmitting and receiving signals generated by the system. The safety system is expandable to accommodate combinations of multiple pivot systems or pump units, according to the farmer's needs. The safety system can include additional receivers assigned complementary tasks such as activating an alarm in the farmer's home, if it is within range of the transmitter, should the pump units shut down.
From the preceding description of the preferred embodiment of this invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications or alterations may be made therein within the scope and spirit of the invention.

By Jack Carey, USA TODAY
Coach Ken Knutson and his University of Washington baseball team have become firm believers that good things come in small packages.
Pitcher Tim Lincecum, all of 6 feet, 170 pounds, is primary evidence.
The Huskies' junior right-hander leads the nation in strikeouts per nine innings (14.3), is tied for the lead with 12 victories (a school record), owns the Pacific-10 Conference record for career strikeouts (477) and is expected to be one of the top picks in next month's draft.
But his first priority is trying to help pitch the Huskies into the NCAA tournament. The 64-team field, which includes 30 automatic qualifiers, will be announced Monday. The tournament begins the following weekend.
At 34-24, the Huskies are hardly a lock, tied for sixth in the Pac-10 and receiving no votes in the USA TODAY coaches poll. They close the regular season with a three-game series this weekend against Washington State and might need to sweep. But the Pac-10 is rated the fourth-best conference and last year advanced five teams.
Lincecum, 12-3 with a 2.01 earned-run average, is the No. 2 prospect in next month's draft, according to Baseball America's Draft Tracker. He's also a candidate for the Roger Clemens Award, the most prominent honor for a college pitcher.
BREAKDOWN: After dominant seasons, the third is even better
His father, Chris, a former junior college and semi-pro pitcher, says Lincecum was a "late maturer." They worked long hours developing his motion.
"When he was a freshman in high school, he was 4-11 and weighed 85 pounds," the elder Lincecum says.
But with his fastball routinely being recorded in the 95 to 98 mph range (even triple digits on occasion), Lincecum has used flexibility and precise body mechanics to dominate college and amateur hitters.
"He's in sync and uses his body well," Knutson says. "He develops a lot of force (when he throws) with his flexibility and his ability to slide way down the hill. He's very dynamic, and those are components of being a good athlete. ... He's got the best stuff I've ever seen at this level. It's the total package as far as multiple pitches, pitching ability, raw velocity and depth on the breaking ball."
After a standout high school career at Liberty High in Renton, Wash., where he was the state's Class 3A most valuable player as a senior, Lincecum was drafted in the 48th round by the Chicago Cubs.
"I was 99% sure I was going to go to college," Lincecum says. "I was looked at by many of the northwest schools like Washington, Oregon State, Washington State, Gonzaga. I didn't want to go far from home, so I decided to come to (UW). I didn't feel confident enough to make a lot of decisions by myself.
"I just wanted to pitch. I always had confidence in my ability and thought I'd be able to hang with these guys."
Lincecum's father says the styles of former major league stars such as Satchel Paige, Bob Feller and Sandy Koufax are what he wants his son to emulate.
"You just have to load up and always finish by following all the way through and pick up the dollar (from the mound), as I call it," he says. "After you've done it a long time and get good at it, it creates muscle memory and consistency."
Little guy, big impact
Huskies pitcher Kyle Parker first saw Lincecum pitch three years ago in the semifinals of the Washington state high school playoffs. Both had committed to the Huskies, so Parker was eager to watch his future teammate.
"He was a little guy but he struck out about every batter in the first three innings and was throwing at about 95 miles an hour," Parker recalls.
"The way he loads up and his mechanics are just different. It's hard to pick up his pitches because of his delivery. You don't know when the ball pops out if he's throwing a 99 mile-an-hour fastball, a curve or a changeup. They all look the same coming out of his hand."
Lincecum's impact at Washington was immediate. He became the first freshman in 26 years to lead the Pacific-10 in strikeouts (12.9 per nine innings, which was second in the nation) and finished second in the league in opponents batting average (.207) and fourth in wins with 10 in an All-America season.
Also that season he earned two victories (one in relief) in the same weekend against top-ranked Stanford, opening eyes across the nation. "That was really a (career) highlight," he says.
As a sophomore, Lincecum struck out 131 batters, led the Pac-10 with a .179 opponents batting average and posted a 3.11 ERA, though his wins dropped to eight.
Because he turned 21 within days of last June's draft, he was eligible to be picked as a sophomore, and the Cleveland Indians chose him in the 42nd round. But coming off what he calls his "worst season," Lincecum opted to return to school and continue to prove himself, knowing he could be picked much higher this year and sign for a good deal more money.
"Now I'm a better pitcher," he says.
Consistently dominant
He was helped along the way by a superlative 2005 summer season in Massachusetts' Cape Cod League. Pitching for the Harwich Mariners, Lincecum led the league with a 0.69 ERA and went 2-2 with seven saves. He allowed only 14 hits and 11 walks while striking out 68 in 39⅓ innings. Opponents batted .104 against him.
With that kind of summer, "I got a lot more confident going into this season," Lincecum says. "I've been more consistent."
He was so consistent, Huskies reliever Richie Lentz says, that "it's almost a given, every Friday, that we're going to win. We're as confident as we can be when he goes out there. And the best thing is, when he walks out there, you know he wants to win more than anything."
Lentz is one of Lincecum's closest friends on the team and says he is a human jukebox because of his propensity to memorize song lyrics.
"He's awfully goofy," Lentz says. "He's singing all the time. But he's a loyal guy, too, team-first."
Although his fastball is superb, the curve is Lincecum's bread-and-butter pitch, considered among the best breaking balls in the nation. He threw an 18-strikeout, two-hit shutout March 31 against UCLA, and May 5 he struck out 16 over eight innings in a 6-4 win against Oregon State that ended All-American Dallas Buck's 14-game winning streak dating to last season.
In a conference that has sent pitching stars such as Mike Mussina, Jack McDowell, Barry Zito and Mark Prior to the majors, Lincecum might take a back seat to nobody.
"He was as dominating that night (against UCLA) as any college pitcher I've ever seen," says Bruins coach John Savage, who was pitching coach at Southern California when Zito and Prior played for the Trojans. "He was at 97-98 (miles-an-hour) in the ninth. Size-wise, it's amazing how much arm speed he generates. It's like facing a closer every inning for nine innings."
With the draft fast approaching, Lincecum is being advised by the Beverly Hills Sports Council, a management agency, and is thinking about the future while trying to help the Huskies into the NCAA tournament.
"The future will be dictated by wherever I go," he says. "I'd love to play somewhere (with the pros) this year. Whether they use me in the bullpen or whatever would be great. I just want to keep it going and keep winning."

Medical Marijuana
Colorado To Grant Nine Million Dollars For Medical Marijuana Research
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, June, 16th 2014 by THCFinder
Colorado is about to start the largest state-funded effort to research medical marijuana. A bill was signed earlier this year that approved millions of dollars for marijuana research in Colorado. The bill should result in roughly 9 million dollars in research grants being handed out over the next five years.
Marijuana research has always been hindered by the federal government, who does it's own research in secret and tries to fight attempts by others. There have been privately funded research projects, but those projects are always limited by funding. California has spent 8.7 million dollars on research over the last twelve years, which is some of the most solid information ever released and is relied upon by many people in the industry.
It's great to see the State of Colorado step up research, which will not only benefit Colorado, but also other states that will get to look at the results of the research. Marijuana supporters have always wanted scientific studies, and are willing to let the truth speak for itself. The same cannot be said for marijuana opponents, who deep down know that the scientific results will make it harder to spread their propaganda. That's why they fight so hard against it. Per the Denver Post:
"Our intent is to be rigorous scientifically, but to also act with some expediency because these are products that a large percentage of our population is using today," said Dr. Larry Wolk, the executive director and chief medical officer of the health department. "We want to make sure that what's happening out there in everyday practice isn't harming people."
The future of marijuana science is bright. I can't wait to see what information the Colorado research turns up. Suffering patients will benefit from the information, as will future marijuana reform campaigns. I wonder how Kevin Sabet will try to spin this into a bad thing?

Denver may shut down dozens of medical-marijuana businesses on July 1
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, June, 10th 2014 by THCFinder
Denver officials could soon shut down as many as 41 medical marijuana businesses as the city cleans up outstanding license applications that have been pending for years.
All medical marijuana businesses in the city must be licensed by July 1, and the city has sent letters to dozens of businesses ahead of the deadline, warning that they must cease operations if they don't get their licenses by then.
"Failure to comply may result in law enforcement and administrative action," cautioned a letter sent to the businesses last week.
Ashley Kilroy, Denver's coordinator for marijuana policy, said city officials have also visited the businesses — mostly cultivation facilities — to urge them to finish up the licensing process.
"We hope that they'll be in compliance and, if not, we'll have to figure out how we go about enforcing the order to cease operations," she said.
The issue reaches back to the genesis of Colorado's regulated marijuana industry. Marijuana businesses in Colorado need both a state and local license to operate.
When state and city officials began licensing medical marijuana shops in 2010, they allowed stores and affiliated businesses that were already operating to stay open while their applications were being reviewed. In regulatory parlance, such businesses were "operational pending."
Dozens of businesses remained in that licensing limbo for years, and state and city regulators have only in the past year significantly chipped away at the backlog. When Denver officials sent a letter about the July 1 deadline earlier this year, it went to 101 businesses that still needed a city license.
That number is now down to 41, though almost none of them are stand-alone businesses. Three of the still-unlicensed businesses applied to make marijuana-infused products. The remaining 38 are cultivation facilities that are attached to already-licensed stores.

Judge Orders Arizona To Add PTSD To List Of Medical Marijuana Conditions
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, June, 9th 2014 by THCFinder
Phoenix, AZ – After years of hard-fought efforts a coalition of patients, medical professionals, and advocates succeeded in demonstrating the medical safety and efficacy of marijuana for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to the Administrative Law Judge who heard the case. The Arizona Dept. of Health has denied all petitions submitted previously.
On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 Judge Thomas Shedden issued his ruling saying that "a preponderance of evidence shows medical marijuana provides palliative benefit to those suffering from PTSD." The decision is now in the hands of Will Humble, Director of Arizona Dept. of Health Services; Humble has until July 9th, 2014 to accept or appeal Judge Shedden's decision.
The Drug Policy Alliance's Freedom to Choose campaign, which advocates for veterans' access to medical marijuana contributed a compilation of published studies and personal testimony from psychiatrists in New Mexico and veterans who use medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms of PTSD. "The pioneering effort to add post-traumatic stress to New Mexico's medical cannabis program in 2009, and the work that veterans and advocates did to protect PTSD as part of the program in 2012, has led to this swell of support around the nation," says Jessica Gelay, Policy Coordinator, in the New Mexico office of the Drug Policy Alliance. "Veterans and all people who have suffered from serious trauma and violence deserve the freedom to choose the safest treatment for their debilitating conditions. When our veterans come home they deserve access to the medicine that works for them."
Arizona's veteran population is 530,693, ranking it thirteenth among states with the largest veterans' populations. Emerging evidence from on-going studies in Israel, supported by the Israeli government, show that marijuana is effective for combat veterans experiencing symptoms of PTSD that are treatment resistant.
Veterans like Ricardo Pereyda of Tucson, who fought in combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom 2 and testified in the hearing are elated. "Being able to treat multiple symptoms from post-traumatic stress with cannabis has been instrumental in my ability to lead a full and productive life," said Pereyda, "Judge Shedden showed that politics does not have to trump science, and doing so showed his compassion for combat veterans and others who have suffered from traumatic events." Pereyda served in the U.S. Army and Military Police Corps.
"Cannabis medicine is natural, gentle, non-toxic, and should be available to PTSD sufferers in Arizona," said Heather Manus, president of the Arizona Cannabis Nurses Association. "Many PTSD patients in neighboring states are successfully finding relief of symptoms through the use of cannabis." The AZCNA filed the petition with the Arizona Department of Health Services on behalf of veterans and other PTSD sufferers to add PTSD as a debilitating condition under the state's medical marijuana law. "This ruling could help a lot of Arizonans. Not just combat veterans, but people with chronic illness and pain who can't find relief from other medications."
The judicial ruling in Arizona puts it on the road to becoming the twelfth state to permit people suffering from PTSD to legally access medical marijuana. In fewer than twelve months four states (OR, ME, MI, NV) added PSTD to their medical marijuana programs. With Arizona coming on board people in twelve of the twenty-two states with medical marijuana laws would have legal access if they suffer from PTSD.

New Study: Marijuana Doesn't Increase Risk Of Psychosis, Alcohol Does
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, June, 5th 2014 by THCFinder
A study published in last month's issue of the journal Schizophrenia Research has found that cannabis use, regardless of how much and how often, does not increase an individual's risk of psychosis.
For the study, "170 people at CHR of psychosis were assessed at baseline on severity of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis using the Alcohol and Drug Use Scale. Participants were recruited across three sites over a four year period as part of the Enhancing the Prospective Prediction of Psychosis (PREDICT) study. Predictors of conversion to psychosis were examined using Cox proportional hazards models."
After conducting the study, researchers found that "low use of alcohol, but neither cannabis use nor tobacco use at baseline, contributed to the prediction of psychosis in the CHR sample."
Are Marijuana Dab Hits Safe? First Ever Scientific Review
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, June, 2nd 2014 by THCFinder
Have you ever taken a dab hit? If so, then you are not alone. Dab hits are becoming more and more popular everyday. I remember five years ago only the most dedicated marijuana fans on the West Coast and in Colorado were hip to the dab scene. Now I know people on the East Coast and all over the Midwest that can't get enough dab hits to keep them satisfied.
One of the first questions people ask me when they have never taken a dab hit before is 'are dab hits safe?' It's a question that was previously hard to answer because there wasn't a solid scientific review out there. However, a recent scientific review was conducted by Mallory Loflin and Dr. Mitch Earleywine. Below is an overview of how they approached the study, and the conclusion:
A new method for administering cannabinoids, called butane hash oil ("dabs"), is gaining popularity among marijuana users. Despite press reports that suggest that "dabbing" is riskier than smoking flower cannabis, no data address whether dabs users experience more problems from use than those who prefer flower cannabis.
The present study aimed to gather preliminary information on dabs users and test whether dabs use is associated with more problems than using flower cannabis.
Participants (n = 357) reported on their history of cannabis use, their experience with hash oil and the process of "dabbing," reasons for choosing "dabs" over other methods, and any problems related to both flower cannabis and butane hash oil.
Analyses revealed that using "dabs" created no more problems or accidents than using flower cannabis. Participants did report that "dabs" led to higher tolerance and withdrawal (as defined by the participants), suggesting that the practice might be more likely to lead to symptoms of addiction or dependence.
The use of butane hash oil has spread outside of the medical marijuana community and users view it as significantly more dangerous than other forms of cannabis use.

Minnesota joins 21 states in legalizing medical marijuana but no smoking allowed
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, May, 29th 2014 by THCFinder
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota joined the ranks of 21 other states Thursday where marijuana is a legal medicine with a law that is one of the nation's most restrictive.
Gov. Mark Dayton signed legislation that sets up a medicalmarijuana program with tight controls over qualifying conditions and the way it is administered. People won't be able to smoke marijuana legally or access it in leaf form.
"I pray it will bring to the victims of ravaging illnesses the relief they are hoping for," Dayton said in a written statement.
The compromise bill upset some medical marijuana advocates, who say many people who need relief won't get it. But legislative backers say it is a positive first step that satisfied concerns of law enforcement and doctor groups. Dayton had said he wouldn't get behind a bill that those two entities opposed.
Medical conditions eligible for the treatment include cancer, glaucoma and AIDS. A physician assistant or advanced-practice registered nurse would certify a patient suffered from a qualifying illness.
If all goes as planned, the drug will be available in pill, oil and vapor form in mid-2015. There will be two manufacturing facilities and eight dispensaries permitted statewide.
The law sets up a task force to assess the impact of medical cannabis.
Dayton signaled earlier this month that he would sign the bill, but waited as his staff tried to assemble bill sponsors and affected families for a formal ceremony. A ceremony could still occur at a later date.

"I get to come back here and be part of the Bears and continue on something that we started last year," Holdman said.
Holdman, a 1999 fourth-round pick, received a tender offer of $563,000 from the Bears. However. The club's three other restricted starters -- wide receiver Marty Booker, guard Rex Tucker and linebacker Rosevelt Colvin -- all were tendered at $1.227 million, the highest level possible.
Chicago had to till Friday to decide whether or not to match the Kansas City offer. Had the Bears not matched, they would not have received the fourth-round pick they were entitled to as compensation because they failed to check a box on a form submitted to the league.
Bears GM Jerry Angelo said it was a difficult decision to match the offer, but he felt Holdman was worth the money.
"We felt like it was in our best interest for the present and we could live with it the future," Angelo said.
The Chiefs constructed Holdman's multimillion dollar in a manner, which would make it difficult for Chicago to match with three other restricted agents Booker, Colvin and Tucker. The offer sheet consisted of a first-year cap number of $950,000 that jumps to just over $4 million in the second year. However, Angelo said the Bears are looking at the immediate future.
"We'll deal with tomorrows problems tomorrow," Angelo said. "We knew that by not putting the high tender on Warrick that this was very possible in terms of him getting an offer. He did and we dealt with that. We matched it and we're very happy about the decision."
Angelo added the team might approach Holdman about restructuring the deal, but couldn't assume anything would be done.
"We can't control that," Angelo said. "If we opt to do that, we could initiate those conversations at some point. But we also have to live with the reality that we have to live with the deal as it stands."
Holdman said he would consider talking to the team about restructuring his deal to make it more salary cap friendly.
"I'm on the Bears and I want them to become successful and get better, so I know I have to think about that team too," Holdman said. "That is a possibility, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now I'm just happy to be a Bear."
The 6-1, 246 pounder out of Texas A&M has 307 tackles in three seasons with the Bears including 213 solo stops, six forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and three and half sacks.
IN OTHER NEWS: Linebacker Rosevelt Colvin and guard Rex Tucker signed their one-year tenders this week.

No wonder I am so tired at the end of the day.
I went to buy some camouflage pants, but I couldn't find any.
i have a question about this as my friend and I are were talking about what we should carry everyday in order to be prepared for just about anything. We disagreed on one thing... he says one should carry as much ammo as physically possible on their person. He carrys FIVE extra hi cap mags for his g19. What do ya'll think about this?
A note.. not many of you are carrying lighters, i think its a simple addition that should be added to every persons EDC.
One relevant fact, I think, is that we limit our preparedness as we balance it with other preferences. For instance, wouldn't we be safer if we wore crash helmets when we drive? Yes! Then why don't we?
The likelihood of crashing our car is much greater than the likelihood of needing eighty rounds of ammo, isn't it?
In truth, a lot of what we do along the lines of personal defense has to do with taste and enjoyment rather than with cold rational analysis. In other words, "I do it because it makes me feel good." And that's okay.
I went to buy some camouflage pants, but I couldn't find any.

Britain was stripped of its AAA-rated debt status for the first time on Friday night, putting pressure on the Chancellor, George Osborne, who has always pledged his commitment to using his austerity measures to protect the rating.
The chancellor, who had 12 hours' notice of the decision by Moody's ratings agency, insisted, however, that he would be sticking to his course and had "redoubled" his resolve to tackle Britain's financial problems. The downgrading is bound nevertheless to have major political implications for the coalition.
Mr Osborne insisted Britain would not "run away" from its problems, saying that the Coalition was determined to stick by its plan for economic recovery.
"We have a stark reminder of the debt problems facing our country," he said last night, "and the clearest possible warning to anyone who thinks we can run away from dealing with those problems. Far from weakening our resolve to deliver our economic recovery plan, this decision redoubles it. We will go on delivering the plan that has cut the deficit by a quarter, and given us record low interest rates and record numbers of jobs."
The Shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, has previously warned against setting too much store by credit ratings, but nevertheless described the downgrade as "a humiliating blow to a Prime Minister and Chancellor who said keeping our AAA rating was the test of their economic and political credibility".
But he did go on to say that: "It would be a big mistake to get carried away with what Moody's or any other credit rating agency says.Tonight's verdict does not change the fact that the credit rating agencies have made major misjudgments over recent years, not least in giving top ratings to US sub-prime mortgages before the global financial crash."
What mattered, he said, was the "economic reality that the credit rating agencies are responding to. Moody's themselves say the main driver of their decision is the weak growth in Britain's economy.
"Their judgment is in response to nearly three years of stagnation, a double-dip recession, billions more borrowing as confirmed this week and broken fiscal rules. This is why the Chancellor is fast running out of credibility."
Mr Balls went on: "The issue is no longer whether this Chancellor can admit his mistakes but whether the Prime Minister can now see that, with UK economic policy so badly downgraded in every sense, things have got to change.
"In the Budget the Government must urgently take action to kick-start our flatlining economy and realise that we need growth to get the deficit down.
"If David Cameron and George Osborne fail to do so and put political pride above the national economic interest we face more long-term damage and pain for businesses and families."Reuse content
