Ericksen Contributes to COPLAC Book Project
Posted by Jenna Ray on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013
Faculty authors from 14 Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) member campuses have been selected to contribute to a multi-campus book project titled Roads Taken: The Professorial Life, Scholarship in Place, and the Public Good. One of these authors is Janet Schrunk Ericksen, associate professor of English at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
In personal essays, Ericksen and the other contributors discuss adaptations they have made to lead integrated scholarly lives in the context of public liberal arts colleges. Each was selected by the dean from his or her institution. Bart Finzel, vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean at Morris, chose Ericksen because of her educational and professional experience at Research I universities.
"I thought reading her well informed thoughts on how faculty life and work expectations differ from one type of institution to another would be valuable," he says.
In "Dr. Monograph or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Liberal Arts," Ericksen writes about "coming to terms with changed expectations and working in a world where the expectations of a success are largely dictated by a small number of research institutions." After attending a large state university, beginning her career at a research institution, and moving to Morris, she now asserts that faculty members' contributions to higher education cannot be measured solely by Research I standards.
"I didn't come from a liberal arts college, I hadn't planned on working at a liberal arts college, and I think of myself now as a real advocate of not just the liberal arts education, but of the public liberal arts education," she says.
Ericksen cites the caliber of her students and increased control over the pace at which her research progresses as the benefits of a career at Morris. She also applauds the campus for its mission, which she believes distinguishes it among its peers and garners it a place in COPLAC's forthcoming book.
"Morris needs to be in there, because it's a COPLAC institution, and I think Morris is exemplary in that group," she says. "I think a lot of people in COPLAC look at Morris as exemplary. Not all of the schools embrace so much the liberal arts college idea, and we do that very well."
Roads Taken: The Professorial Life, Scholarship in Place, and the Public Good will be published in early 2014 by Truman State University Press. Additional information is available at tsup.truman.edu.

I bought a used ph monitor.....
So I bit the bullet and bought a ph monitor. I was just sick of using that dropper. I did my research for a while and wanted a controller not a monitor but I dont have a co2 system and wasnt sure if I would get one. So I was torn between a milwaukee controller or the american marine ph monitor. So I bid on a used monitor for $52 and got it. Of coarse the description said the probe was recently replaced and what not. But when it arrived the probe had no cap on the tip to keep it moist and it is reading about 1.00 ph lower then my tank and tap are. So my question is, obviously it needs to be calibrated, but if it came dry then is the prbe no good now? And if I do buy a new probe should I buy one from hong kong for $18 or US for $35? I just think anything from hong kong is going to be sketchy but everything now a days comes from china.......
pH Importance
Hello Drew...
Are you keeping and breeding rare fish? Because if you aren't, then you don't need to fret over the acidity or alkalinity of your tap water. The vast majority of aquarium fish will adapt to the vast majority of public water supplies. Our fish will thrive in a pH between 6 - 8.5 as long as the level is stable.
Just treat the tap water and remove the ammonia, chlorine and chloramine and don't get creative in an attempt to change the water pH and your fish will adapt. They've been doing this since the hobby started.
Just a couple of thougths.
Since you have it and plan to use it, then try calibrating it.
If it doesn't work, then definitely get a new probe. Ordering from Hong Kong would be the way to go unless you're trying to support a local shop or something.
I agree
thanks guys. I am keeping dwarf shrimp, and planning on getting more sensitve ones like crystal red shrimp that need around 6.5ph pretty stable.
What are the parameters of your tap water?
That will determine whether or not you can keep Crystals unless you use RO/DI and remineralize.
Ph in tank is about 7.2, GH 6-7, KH 2-3, TDS 380. All a little high for crs.
My tap is 7.8, GH 5-6, KH 2-3, TDS 220.
i cant seem to get the KH and TDS down. I dont want to do an RO system but was thinking of getting the tap water filter. If I do that would I just mix like half tap with half filtered or whatever will get my levels down?
I think I might try a brita.
As mentioned directly above, that won't work.
What you could consider is filtering your water with peat. Use the search function to dig up a few threads about that. It's cheap cheap cheap and could suit you well.
P.S. Click here for a great thread about filtering your water with peat.
Nice, Thanks for that thread. I took that idea and just added a bunch on peat into where you add water into the brita pitcher, put a rock on top of the peat to keep it down. Slow drip water over the rock. Im getting awesome results.
Im down to 6.5ph, 3-4 gh, 0-1 kh and 140 tds. Its almost too good of results, I guess I have to let it sit and test it later tho.

No reporters or cameramen were injured in the filming of Manti Te'o. That alone might have been an accomplishment given the crush of media, despite what turned out to be a relatively tame press conference.
This was supposed to be the reporters' gold rush at the potential expense of the Golden Domer, their big opportunity to turn a story about a college kid that was duped by an online "woman" that never existed, then wasn't forthcoming about the incident when it was revealed that the "woman" he claimed was his girlfriend never existed but was only the online creation of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a former friend of Te'o's.
"It was just a whirlwind of stuff," Te'o said of not being immediately forthcoming when he realized his online girlfriend never existed. "A 22-year-old, 21-year old at that time, just trying to get your thoughts right. Everybody was just kind of chaos for a little bit, so you let that chaos die down and wait until everybody's ready to listen."
This wasn't a murderer or drug dealer talking at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but this was an opportunity to further publicize the hoax heard round the world. Just the suggestion that Te'o was within an hour of talking to the assembled media Saturday morning sent reporters from their work stations surrounding three large interview areas and eight interview tables scurrying to Podium C.
Turned out, the head-ups was a hoax – or at least inaccurate – on its own. Te'o was in Indianapolis, but he was still with doctors as part of the players' marathon three-day sessions in front of NFL teams, moving from strength and agility training to medical and psychological examining.
During the false alarm, as hundreds of reporters gathered for whatever Te'o might have to offer, one reporter started to grow impatient after only a few minutes of standing around. "Do we even know he's coming. … They said within an hour."
"They" was a tweet from the NFL, ironically delivering false information via another social network, the very downfall of Te'o himself.
The gathering started at 1 o'clock with the 32 chairs for reporters surrounded by more than a hundred people standing around taking pictures of the self-fulfilling flocking of media. They were there looking at each other … and an empty podium. That, of course, drew the jokes that the make-believe girlfriend was actually at the podium. About 20 minutes after the gathering, the announcement came that Te'o wouldn't be speaking for at least a hundred more minutes.
"The media just got catfished," joked one reporter, a reference to the emerging term of being the victim of an online dating hoax.
The media mass unwound and turned to the lunch line, living up to the reporter stereotypes. Just the rumor of Te'o talking sent Twitter abuzz with "Manti Te'o" as the top trend.
Two hours later, at 2:14 p.m. Eastern, the Notre Dame linebacker was escorted to the podium, the only one of 333 prospects to have an NFL Network camera follow him up to the podium to film the media circus while it filmed back. From the vantage point of the a large camera stand about 30 feet from the podium, one could view both Te'o talking live and three monitors of him on tape delay on NFL Network. Cameras, far more than 50 and far too intermingled in the crowd to count accurately, pointed everywhere.
"It's pretty crazy. I've been in front of a few cameras, but not as many as this," Te'o said.
He couldn't have been too surprised. Ever since he the girlfriend was revealed to be a hoax, it has been front and center in the media, with Te'o even making a list of most hated athletes for not revealing the truth on his own, even if he was the victim during most of their relationship.
"It got overwhelming at times," he said of the coverage.
And, now, it's just embarrassing.
"It's definitely embarrassing. When you're walking through grocery stores and you're kind of like giving people double-takes to see if they're staring at you, it's definitely embarrassing," Te'o said. "I guess it's part of the process, it's part of the journey. You know it's only going to make me stronger and it definitely has."
Even veteran reporters and analysts that have been covering the combine for decades were amazed at the coverage – estimated to be more than 30 percent bigger than Tim Tebow or Maurice Clarett generated. More than 800 media credentials were issued for the combine; about 300 of them crowded around Te'o's podium.
"About the incident, I've said all I need to say about that. How I'm handling it going forward is doing what I'm doing," Te'o said. "Focusing on the moment, focusing on football and the combine. Not everybody gets this opportunity to be here. I'm sure there's thousands and thousands of people who would like to be here in Indianapolis. Just trying to enjoy the moment."
The focus was clearly on him and he knew it. Whether he was actually enjoying it is hard to know.

33 year old woman | Grand Rapids, MI, United States | Seeking men 27-37 within 100 miles
Ready for Something!
Hi there! My name is Cherie. I am looking for fun people and open to something more if it is right. :-) I just bought a house in September 2014 in GR. I have been living in the area though for about 2 years now. ...Still haven't done anything cool--hopefully you can help with that! :) I have learned that you can tell a lot about people by the way they treat their family/friends and how close they are to them. Family (and friends) are incredibly important to me, and so is treating others with courtesy and respect. If you feel the same, that is an easy way to grab my attention and make me smile. Life is too short to not find humor in things daily. I have always been attracted to men that can hold a conversation, are good to others, chivalrous and can throw the wit right back and even beat me at it. I get over things pretty quickly (unless you are really mean) and I hate dramatic scenes. I LOVE to try new things and learning new things, as long as you have patience with me. And be prepared to laugh at me, especially when it comes to coordinated movements. I am not looking for a complete party animal, but someone that has soul and a zest for life and wants to share it with others. Someone who can be himself and hold confidence in that. If anything, we can be good friends. I'm pretty cool I think. :-)

I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Terrified of horses actually. Particularly due to an incident on an up-north excursion with my mom and sister. My mom loves horses so her bday gift was a weekend at a horse ranch. Let's just say that my horse, Bubba, was actually Satan.
Middle of the Road
I love going up north, wherever there is water, but especially the U.P. Small little coffee joints. I love going to historic buildings (nerd!) I am a sucker for amusement parks. Every once in a while, the nightlife is fun, but not a necessity.
Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI
My family is the most important thing in my life. My 2 pups. I like to read multiple books simultaneously because why not? I also write when the feeling is there. I love ALL types of music. Running, yoga, pilates, movies (especially scary ones!).
I love to run and generally being outdoors-I've been in quite a few 5k's/10k's and half marathons. I absolutely love hot yoga. I have a bike and a helmet and need a partner for excursions. I love good food, LAUGHING, hole in the wall, eclectic places

Title: Projekt
The Polish Journal of Visual Art and Design [Unit 05]
Authors: Charlotte West and Edgar Bak
Editor: Adrian Shaughnessy
Design: Spin
Edition of 2000
In stock
Here, for the first time in book form, is an analysis and appreciation of this heroic journal. Design writer Charlotte West and Polish graphic designer, Edgar Bąk show how Projekt can sit alongside any of the great design and art magazines of the past half-century. Projekt: The Polish journal of visual art and design is an important addition to design scholarship, and the appreciation of Polish visual art and design. Polish Cultural Institute
Charlotte West's well informed introductory essay places less emphasis on interpreting these designs than in examining the relative freedom of the editors to shape its content in the face of censorship. By steering clear of politics, they ensured that the cultural apparatchiks left the magazine and its editors alone. As a result, Projekt became a remarkable champion of Modernist graphic design on both sides of the East-West divide during the 1960s and 70s. David Crowley, Eye
Formed in 1955, Projekt was one of the few publications to showcase the art and design of not only work from behind the Iron Curtain, but also of the West. Particularly striking were its visually rich covers, many of them created by members of the famous Polish Poster School – amongst them Henryk Tomaszewski, Józef Mroszczak and Jan Lenica.
This book tells the story of Projekt's tortuous history as it struggled to survive against the backdrop of Soviet domination. As a satellite state of the Soviet Union, Poland was subject to censorship and repression, and Polish artists and designers were expected to adhere to the official Soviet artform of Social Realism. But Poland has a long history of rebellion and opposition, and this contrarian spirit can be seen in the pages and covers of Projekt.

FNC's Brit Hume on Monday night picked up on a column by the San Francisco Chronicle's Debra Saunders which discredited the media spin on an AP/Ipsos poll that found liberals read one more book a year than conservatives, a finding Pat Schroeder, President of the Association of American Publishers claimed illustrated how conservatives can't think beyond slogans. The AP and CNN's Jack Cafferty both jumped on Schroeder's slam. Hume noted that Saunders "says Ipsos told her the one book difference between liberals and conservatives is within the poll's margin of error and not statistically significant. The company also said that since the poll did not ask respondents if they read newspapers or magazines, it does not, therefore, say anything about their general level of knowledge or information."
Last Tuesday, the AP distributed a story (Breitbart version, Yahoo posting) with Schroeder's comments, "Book Chief: Conservatives Want Slogans." Al Fram's dispatch began:
Liberals read more books than conservatives. The head of the book publishing industry's trade group says she knows why -- and there's little flattering about conservative readers in her explanation.
"The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: 'No, don't raise my taxes, no new taxes,'" Pat Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers, said in a recent interview. "It's pretty hard to write a book saying, 'No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes' on every page."
Schroeder, who as a Colorado Democrat was once one of Congress' most liberal House members, was responding to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll that found people who consider themselves liberals are more prodigious book readers than conservatives....
Matthew Sheffield's take on the AP poll and the lack of data released for it.
CNN's Jack Cafferty couldn't resist highlighting how the poll found liberals read more books than conservatives, though only by one book -- nine to eight books with moderates reading only five in the past year. His "Cafferty File" question, during the 4pm EDT hour of the August 22 Situation Room, presumed the relevance of the poll finding: "Liberals read more books than conservatives. Why?" Cafferty had outlined Schroeder's spin:
"The head of a book publishing industry trade group offers this explanation. Pat Schroeder says, 'The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a few slogans. Things like no new taxes.' No surprise here. Pat Schroeder was a formerly liberal member -- a former member of Congress who is a liberal. She says liberals can't say anything is less than a whole paragraph. Mary Matalin, who is a Republican strategist, says that conservatives don't read less. They just get their information from different places, such as magazines or the Internet."
Matthew Balan's NB posting on Cafferty's segment.
Hume's "Grapevine" item in full on the August 27 Special Report with Brit Hume:
Last week we told you about a poll by the Associated Press and Ipsos Research Company that indicated liberals read slightly more books than conservatives each year. Association of American Publishers President Pat Schroeder -- a former liberal Congresswoman from Colorado -- said that what she called "The Karl Roves of the world" had built a generation of conservatives who wanted only simple slogans such as "no new taxes." But columnist Debra Saunders of Creators.com says Ipsos told her the one book difference between liberals and conservatives is within the poll's margin of error and not statistically significant. The company also said that since the poll did not ask respondents if they read newspapers or magazines, it does not, therefore, say anything about their general level of knowledge or information.
An excerpt from the August 26 San Francisco Chronicle column by Debra Saunders, "Bookless versus clueless," which the DrudgeReport.com had showcased on Sunday:
WHEN a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll found, as reported by the Associated Press, that "liberals read more books than conservatives," the president of the American Association of Publishers promptly shoved her foot in her mouth.
Pat Schroeder, the former Democratic congresswoman from Colorado, proclaimed, "The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple of slogans: 'No, don't raise my taxes, no new taxes.' It's pretty hard to write a book saying, 'No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes,' on every page."
She also told AP that liberals "can't say anything in less than paragraphs. We really want the whole picture, want to peel the onion."
Maybe you shouldn't pay any attention to me. According to Schroeder, as a conservative, I've got a bumper sticker for brains. Silly me, I looked into the poll -- which liberals have hailed as proof of their intellectual superiority -- and there's not a lot there in "the whole picture." The poll found that among people polled who read at least one book in the last year, liberals read nine books and conservatives read eight.
When I called Michael Gross, associate vice president of Ipsos public affairs, to find out more about the Ipsos poll, he told me the one-book difference "is within the margin of error, it's not a statistically significant difference."
The poll also found that moderates who said they read at least one book a year, on average, read five books a year. By Schroeder's lights, moderates must be really simple-minded sloganeers.
As a conservative, I am not proud to read that 34 percent of conservatives -- as opposed to 22 percent of liberals and moderates -- said they had read a book within the last year.
Then again, because the poll did not ask people if they read newspapers or magazines, Gross noted, "I don't think it says anything about people's general level of information."
Then there's the quality issue. A person could read nine romance novels in a year and qualify as Aristotelian by Schroeder's logic....
While she berated conservatives for buying into slogans, she flaunted her prejudices. Her idea of thinking in paragraphs: Not letting facts get in the way.

Product Highlights
The Zacuto C300 Grip Handle Relocator attaches to a separately-sold Zacuto Zgrip to achieve distance-extended, chest-level handling of a Canon C300 Grip (which is a button-equipped hand controller that comes with the C300).
The separately-sold Zgrip is an upside-down V, with each side of the V a 15mm rod. The V connects to the front of a full Zacuto rig to serve as handle-bars for the rig, and the Relocator connects to one end of the V to serve as a handle (and as a base for the C300 Grip).
So what then is the Relocator? The C300 Grip, the C300-provided Controller, attaches onto the side of the Relocator, and a 24" cable that's already built into the Relocator snakes up a rod of the V to connect to the C300. The Relocator thus provides two purposes: it allows the C300 Grip to be used on a Zgrip, and allows it to be used from 24" farther than usual. (The C300 Grip's native cable connects into the Relocator.)
Since the rods of the V are long enough to reach chest level (as opposed to shoulder level), you'll be able to use the Relocator and thus the C300 Grip at chest level. The Relocator is fully articulating until locked in by lever.

Some of the great stories of the Christmas season come when generous people are generously rewarded. Sometimes it comes in a small way, like when the inspiring story of 90-year-old Jeanette Van Voorst, a volunteer at Orange City Area Health System, got picked up by media outlets all over the country.
Then there is Heather Determann, a telemetry nurse at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, and Karen Jones, a trauma and flight nurse for Iowa Health-Des Moines. Both are big Oprah Winfrey fans who had always wanted to see the show live. Little did they expect to be chosen for the hottest Oprah ticket ever –"Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things 2010."
This is the show where the entire studio audience received thousands of dollars worth of gifts, and a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle on top of that.
It wasn't just luck of the draw for Determann and Jones. Audience members were chosen because of the things they have done for others (and were then allowed to bring someone with them. Jones brought her sister, while Determann brought a fellow St. Luke's nurse. None of the audience members knew it was going to be the special show until Winfrey announced it as the segment opened).
Both nurses have a history of giving and achieving. Determann put off replacing her 11-year-old Chevy to cover the cost of a three-week medical mission trip to Africa, where she helped build a clinic. Jones has been a leader in Iowa's "Just Drive" campaign, which is advocating for drivers, particularly young ones, to pledge that they will not make calls or text when they are behind the wheel. (Winfrey has a similar campaign.)
Like Van Voort, who worked for 38 years at the Orange City hospital before deciding to come back as a volunteer, the two Iowa nurses are a credit to themselves and their hospitals.
Some might say Determann and Jones were just lucky. But we are the fortunate ones — fortunate to have such dedicated and generous employees and fortunate to have the excellent hospitals necessary to attract and hold on to them.

AVALANCHE 2, WILD 0: Jamie McGinn registered his first career two-goal performance and Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves for his eighth career shutout as Colorado blanked host Minnesota in the opener of a home-and-home series.
Peter Mueller and rookie defenseman Stefan Elliott each recorded two assists for the Avalanche, who climbed within one point of the San Jose Sharks for eighth place in the Western Conference. Colorado hosts Minnesota on Tuesday.
McGinn staked Colorado to an early lead with his first goal in three games since being acquired from San Jose on Monday. Elliott's shot from the right faceoff circle was blocked, but the puck went directly to McGinn, who buried it from the doorstep at 1:42 of the first period.
With Minnesota's Darroll Powe in the penalty box for holding, McGinn made it 2-0 less than seven minutes later. After rookie Matt Hackett stopped Mueller's shot from the top of the left circle, McGinn knocked in the rebound from the low slot.
Varlamov turned aside 11 shots in each of the first two periods and eight in the third for his fourth shutout of the season and second in four games. Each of the four blankings this campaign have come on the road.
Hackett made 34 saves for the Wild, who have been shut out three times during their four-game losing streak.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Varlamov improved to 3-0-0 lifetime against the Wild with three goals allowed on 82 shots. ... Minnesota has lost 12 of 15 overall games and seven of nine at home. ... The Avalanche halted a two-game slide that followed a four-game winning streak. They have won four of their last five on the road. ... Colorado had lost six of seven overall against the Wild and seven of 10 in Minnesota.

Licensing Requirement For Servicer And Its Subservicer - Q2 2000By the Division of Banks
A mortgage servicer intends to act as a wholesale lender in the Commonwealth. The servicer intends to purchase loans and sell such loans with servicing rights retained but will not be the actual party collecting such payments. The servicer has contracted with a third party which would be responsible for "servicing the loan," collecting all current and past due obligations from borrowers. The subservicer is a federal savings bank. The subservicer would remit payments collected from borrowers directly and would not be in receipt of any payments, either current or past due, collected from borrowers.
Mass. Gen. Laws chapter 93, section 24 requires that a person or entity that shall "...directly or indirectly conduct a collection agency, or engage in the Commonwealth in the business of collecting or receiving payment for others of any account, bill or other indebtedness.." shall obtain a license as a collection agency from the Division. The statute's implementing regulation, 209 CMR 18.00 et seq. further defines the range of activities that constitute conducting the business of collection agency. The Division's regulation at 209 CMR 18.02 limits the scope of the collection agency regulations to activities relating to the collection of debts. The Division's regulation at 209 CMR 18.03 defines a "debt " to be "money or its equivalent which is, or is alleged to be, more than 30 days past due and owing, unless a different period is agreed to by the debtor, under a single account as a result of a purchase, lease, or loan of goods services, or real or personal property."
Since the Servicer would not be engaged in the collection of debt for another that is more than 30 days past due, it is the position of the Division that it would not require licensure pursuant to said section 24. However, the subservicer, unless otherwise exempt, would be required to obtain a license.

The effects of simple venesection, lowers blood viscosity, increases walking distance, reduces oxygen tank usage, normalises blood pressure, an effective alternative to statins, duty of care therefore should *require* the use of venesection? Cost, veritably nothing, oxygen tank reduction alone, let alone quality of life? "Monitored, acute phlebotomy is safe and cost-effective. It decreases blood volume and viscosity, increases cardiac output and improves exercise tolerance in patients" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20539767 "Improved exercise tolerance of the polycythemic lung patient following phlebotomy" "Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who have polycythemia benefit by therapeutic interventions that maintain their hematocrits below 55 percent" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6402930 "Therapeutic effect of phlebotomy on blood pressure" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8261683 "Iron reduction may be a safe and low-cost alternative to statins." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23409890.
Interesting, I've used N-acetylcysteine for years in the laboratory as the sputum pretreatment for AFB cultures. Makes sense as it does a good job of breaking down the mucus into a more liquid form..

Brooklyn Decker & James Van Der Beek Plug "Friends with Better Lives" in L.A.
Making the rounds to promote their upcoming show, Brooklyn Decker and James Van Der Beek stopped by "Extra" on Monday (March 31).
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covergirl looked cute in a long-sleeved short red dress while her hunky co-star donned a gray suit and navy blue dress shirt.
Following six 30-something friends who each think the other has it better, "Friends with Better Lives" airs Monday at 9:00pm ET after the finale of "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS.
Squeezing in as much press as they can before the premiere, the pair had to chow down at a news anchor desk in the studio as James posted a photo with the caption, "Quick breakfast before the next press outlet. Only one table in the room. @BrooklynDecker & I used it. #FWBL tonight!"

Ted Daffer
Guard Ted Daffer locked down the middle of the defensive line during a dominant time for Tennessee football. He was the only two-time All-America from the 1950 or 1951 squads.
Fellow All-Americas Bud Sherrod, Bill Pearman and Doug Atkins joined Daffer, a three-year starter for the Vols at guard, on the defense. They helped Tennessee to an 11-1 record and a national championship from one poll in 1950, losing only the second game of the season to Mississippi State.
Daffer returned the following season to help the squad become consensus national champions in 1951, going undefeated in the regular season before losing in the Sugar Bowl.

- MacGregor (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/macgregor/)
- - Buying a used Mac (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/macgregor/64315-buying-used-mac.html)
Buying a used Mac
I'm contemplating buying a Mac 26X or 26M. What kind of things should one pay attention to in checking out the boat before buying (yeah, I know waht some of you will say..."make sure it's not a MacGregor" :-).
This boat is so basic, so simple, that there really isn't a whole lot to look for.
I'm in my 4th season and can tell you that the only weak area, for me, has been the dagger board. Pull the board and check the condition of the leading/trailing edge. Check the rudders for signs of cracking below the mounting point. I believe early M models had aluminum rudder brackets vs. the current stainless. I understand they had a habit of breaking.
Otherwise, look for the usual water leak sites: Chain plates, hose connections for the anchor locker drain and sink drain. Check the hull for signs of grounding and/or blistering. The boat is designed as a trailerable but some owners leave their boats in the water for extended periods without applying a barrier coat.
The real money is in the OB motor, the sails and any electronics that may have been added.
The MacGregor is a versatile, multi-purpose boat. Most "sailors" don't care for it but it does fill a nitch.
It heels quickly to 20 degrees before it hardens up and that makes some people uncomfortable (read my wife). :rolleyes: We sail Lake Michigan most of the time and the Admiral says we need a bigger boat :D before she will head out too far on the lake or try week long trip.
Check out this site for a very active 26X/26M community. MacGregorSailors.com
Mine is for sail (sale) if you're interested.
May one inquire... is Una Mas still for sale?
For sail ...
Want to SAIL, take a look at the Mac 26s (sailboat, with swing centerboard). Mine is a 1992 and I have sailed it on a large number of midwest lakes and have not found a better boat for the purpose, the swing centerboard has saved my A** seveal times when the depth of water does not match the depth of the boat :). With respect to the 26M/x, they are of necissity a comprimise and the big engine adds to the expense. Since I love to sail.. I only use the engine to get into and out of the slip, so my little 9.9 4 stroker is more than I need.
Also, any input re: local yacht club and the Michigan City coast guard auxiliary (they are trying to recruit me) are welcome. :)
There's one at my YC .. hasn't been in the water in 5 - 7 yrs from what I've been told. Shame. cool looking boat. Twin rudders, BIG out board. water ballast model I believe.

Dave it's not going to make much difference how we store our balls (except Benjii4'/Aftershocks idea)when every umpire puts the extra balls on the backstop in the sun.
Which brings us back to the crappy ball you use. Sounds like our only option is to put pressure on the manufacture.
BOYCOTT ANACONDA/BSN, or whoever owns/ manufactures these balls now.

Discussion: Ruling clarification
Wow, senior softball has some pretty dumb rules, but this is the dumbest I have ever heard of. I agree out of the box is an out, but to count it as a home run with no run scored?
It's an illegally struck ball, dead ball! This sounds like a rule made up by someone who has never hit one out, and never will.
SSUSA, you guys just live for controversy and heated arguments, don't you? I can see this one being very loud and very long on the field. Really, really dumb.

Discussion: Why are there rules?
I stand by my (probably)inappropriate, (possibly beer infused) post. However I feel for you. You guys have a problem down there. But the only way it will be taken care of is by formal complaint, according to DD. If that's been done, and it's still not being resolved, then this is where the naming of names needs to take place. In this public forum.
SSUSA is not very forthcoming with information when there is trouble in paradise. IMO it's another black eye for their business.
I want to know for sure who that TD is so I don't play in his tourneys. We can't band together to make a change if people are just going to throw out vague rumors.

C'mon deep, if you are going to call someone out on here then grow some stones and name names. Tired of this chicken shit whining and crying. You don't even have your name on here so what are you worried about? If it's this same guy we've heard about before, then let us know.

Discussion: International Tie Breaker
Umm staff, I'm going to defend the TD here. He was following the rule as written (yes too vague) as we had asked him to. Which, in my opinion, is what the TD should be doing. If he is out there making assumptions of what people were thinking or planning (or not planning)then he's asking for trouble.
No, I do not believe that they were trying to get a rabbit in there. But a rule is a rule and the TD followed it as written. Hey, there are some wily old seniors out there, you never know. I had something similar happen to a team I played for when I played 40's and we were learning senior rules.

Well staff, as Omar put it, facts are facts. I have had the same valid email since I've been playing, starting in the 40's. I have no explanation for the missed emails, sorry. And I'm not making this shit up. Maybe it's one of the reasons the return % of the survey was low?

Here we go again, Staff referencing the infamous survey that DID NOT go out to everyone. Staff may have sent it to everyone but not many got it. At least not many in N. Calif. I had asked several TEAMS (not people) at a NCSSA tourney a little while after it was supposed to have gone out, and two PEOPLE got it. To me, this survey is not valid. Would it have changed anything had it worked? I doubt it.

Sol Campbell could hardly have chosen a bigger game for his comeback.
The England defender has had an unlucky 2006. His only game since February 1 ended with him looking like he had done 12 rounds with Mike Tyson rather than 90 minutes at Portsmouth. But it was Arsenal who gave Villarreal a bloody nose on Wednesday night at El Madrigal.
They performed a rearguard action for much of the game. The Spanish side trailed 0-0 from the first leg and attacked with more purpose this time.
"Obviously it was a difficult game to come in," said Campbell afterwards. "We were told they were a totally different team home and away. We were under pressure but we played some good stuff and rode our luck. We are there and that is the main thing.
"It is fantastic for the Club. I have worked hard over the years and the gaffer has put a lot in too. It is brilliant for everyone connected with the Arsenal. It is a great achievement reaching a Champions League Final - we all know how hard it is to get there."
Campbell's return came about because of a knee injury to Philippe Senderos. The Swiss international's season appears to be over so it seems the former Tottenham defender will play in the last four games of the campaign.
"The more games I get under my belt the better," he said. "To come into a game such as that and get a result is fantastic.
"My chance came fortuitously and you have take these opportunities. If it had been a League game then it was a League game, it just so happened that it was a Champions League Semi-Final."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

You know what everyone will be asking you this week: what was it like? No need to tell them that the Land Rover broke down somewhere near Swindon, or that you spent the weekend in a Travelodge watching Glastonbury on TV rather than soaking up the sounds from the comfort of your wi-fi-equipped yurt.
Thank goodness, then, for the papers - it looked as if there must have been more feature writers than punters at the festival - which enabled you to paint a vivid verbal picture of all you missed. The weekend, you explain with the weary air of one who has suffered - as Rod Liddle did for the Sunday Times - was dominated by filth: "A viscous slurry of country mud, cattle excrement and liquidised class-A drugs. A tepid lava of hallucinogenic filth."
You even heard a rumour (don't say you read it in the news pages of the Mail on Sunday ) that people could have caught dysentery from the mud after Friday morning's rain - "monsoon-like downpours", as you call them - overturned dozens of portable loos and washed their contents into the fields.
For the crucial details of personal squalor, you steal from Elizabeth Day's tale in the Sunday Telegraph. "I have to pitch my mud - encrusted tent within two metres of a row of stinking portable loos and spend the night worrying that I am going to be flooded with raw sewage. To add to the indignity, I am kept awake by the constant sound of trudging feet walking across my tent ropes and, more often than not, a loudly whispered 'What wanker put their tent here?'"
If anyone scoffs that Michael Eavis, the festival's organiser, had said Glastonbury is more fun when it rains, affect an air of bravado - like Caitlin Moran in the Times - and answer sternly: "Mr Eavis is right. It is more fun when it rains. Not when it's actually raining ... But as soon as the rain stops, it often is more fun. The British love being doughty in unfortunate circumstances - our climate and our sporting prowess have given us ample practice - and Glastonbury is no exception."
Enough about the bloody weather, someone demands. What about the bands? Fortunately, your hotel room had an internet connection, so you had checked NME.com and are able to declare the Futureheads' set "triumphant", and assert that the Kaiser Chiefs "stormed" the Pyramid stage.
Honestly, though, you are more at home with an older generation of bands. So you turn to Akin Ojumu's review of New Order in the Observer. "Their performance injected a shot of life into a cold and damp festival that had just stood through an uninspiring set by Keane," you remark, a little archly. Thank goodness, then, that you were able to watch it on TV.

The Hannaford PCI Fallout
Posted by Marc Othersen on March 28, 2008
- 338 Recommendations
- 0 comments
By now, most people have heard about the data breach at Hannaford. Here are some thoughts regarding potential fallout:
1) PCI standard may change. Much depends on Hannaford disclosing the control failures leading to the data breach. The standard may be strengthened to address control areas that may have been overlooked. Should the controls that failed not be part of the current PCI standard, they will most likely be added in the future. Should the controls already exist in the standard, they may be re-written for clarity or greater implementation details may be needed.
2) PCI compliance auditors may be scrutinized. It is unclear at this point in time if the methodology used by Hannaford's auditors was inadequate. The payment card industry may re-evaluate its criteria for certification and impose more stringent requirements. They may follow in the footsteps of the PCAOB and release audit guidelines to increase the consistency of compliance audits.
3) Lawsuits abound. Cardholders may form a class action lawsuit against Hannaford for failing to protect their information. Hannaford may sue its PCI auditors for damages caused by inadequate audits.
4) Organizations may want a second opinion. Organizations governed by PCI may, in the short term, pay for additional reviews of their controls from sources other than their normal PCI auditors in order to gain further assurance they have effective controls in place. PCI audit and consulting companies may see a dramatic short term increase in business.

Bluetick Coonhound Dogs

Things You Should Know
Very intelligent and resourceful, Bluetick Coonhounds are easy to train as long as the commands are firm, consistent and positive. They can be independent-minded and should always be kept on a leash in public. The mere sniff of a squirrel, or some other interesting thing, could make them disappear quickly.
Bluetick Coonhounds can live as long as 12 years. Generally healthy, some Blueticks can develop hip dysplasia, eye problems and hypothyroidism. Grooming the Bluetick Coonhound is a breeze: Brush their coats occasionally, and check their ears regularly.
Bluetick Coonhound History
Bluetick Coonhounds originated in the United States several centuries ago. Developed by crossing European hounds (including the Grand Bleu de Gascogne and the English Foxhound) with existing American hounds, the Bluetick combined the nose and instincts of the Old World breeds with the endurance and speed of American dogs.
The Look of a Bluetick Coonhound
Bluetick Coonhounds have lean, medium-sized frames covered in short, dense coats that have a distinctive mottled coloring (black and white spots with a dark blue effect). The heads—usually black—have round eyes, thin hanging ears and square muzzles. They have muscular necks and bodies, and their tails are usually carried at an upward curve. Overall, Bluetick Coonhounds have a determined and attentive look.

DAMASCUS, (Xinhua): Up to 25 Syrian civilians were killed and over 85 others injured on Sunday when Syrian armed opposition fired in the northwestern province of Idlib, pro- government Sham FM radio reported.
The victims, including women and children, were killed when the armed opposition fired a homemade missile at one of Syrian army's military points in Areha town, the report said, adding that the missile missed the target and hit a fairground in the town instead.
A local witness told Xinhua that this massacre was committed by the Free Syrian Army.
Meanwhile, the oppositional activists said that government troops shelled the town, adding that 19 people were killed and many others injured in the attack.
The Syrian conflict, which has killed more than 90,000 people, is going on between forces loyal to the Syrian government and those seeking to oust it.

Telecommunications | Apr 15, 2013
Music properties should put Huawei on their prospect list.
Huawei Device USA, Inc. is turning up the volume on music marketing.
The Chinese company—which markets wireless handsets, USB devices and other telecommunications and networking devices—has inked presenting status of the Jonas Brothers' 2013 summer tour.
The deal follows Huawei's 2011 sponsorship of Enrique Iglesias' Euphoria tour, a deal spearheaded by MetroPCS Communications, Inc.
Huawei—pronounced "wah-way" in English—is using music to build visibility and engage 18-to-32-year-olds. The company, which entered the U.S. market in 2007, positions itself as the "value leader" in the wireless handset category.
"Music is an international language," said Michael Chuang, executive vice president with Huawei Device USA.
And additional deals may be in the works.
"We're constantly looking for sponsorship opportunities," he said.
While the Jonas Brothers may seem like an odd choice given the band's relatively low profile over the past few years, Chuang points to excitement over the band's first tour in three years and the brothers' enthusiasm, personable nature and passion for their work as primary drivers for the sponsorship.
"We're very much aligned in terms of our spirit and culture."
The Jonas Brothers' squeaky-clean image may also have been appealing. Huawei has faced scrutiny in the U.S. and other countries over ties to the Chinese military and alleged espionage. The Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence last year urged U.S. companies to avoid working with Huawei over security concerns, although a White House report found no evidence of any illegal activity.
Huawei plans to activate the sponsorship with on- and off-site promotions dangling tickets, meet-and-greets and music downloads. It also is exploring the possibility of in-store promotions, said Chuang.
The company also plans to use the sponsorship to promote the upcoming launch of a new handset, added Chuang, who declined to elaborate.
In addition to MetroPCS, Huawei sells through AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and other tier 1 and tier 2 wireless carriers.
Outside of music, Huawei has a limited sponsorship history in the U.S. market. The company last year partnered with the Taste of Chicago to support its "Access Smarter" campaign but has no other significant deals.
Soccer Takes Center Stage Outside The U.S.
Huawei focuses on soccer outside the U.S., with a focus on one-off games.
For example, Huawei in 2012 sponsored a friendly match between New Zealand's All Whites and China. In 2011, the company sponsored the Italian Supercoppa, a face-off between A.C. Milan and Inter Milan. Both games were held in Beijing.
Huawei last year sponsored Atlético de Madrid for several games. The deal included jersey sponsorship at the UEFA Super Cup and other matches.
The telco also is a jersey sponsor of Australia's Canberra Raiders National Rugby League club.

The 121 Of Us
This is kind of a plug, but my friend recently started a blog about mental illness and depression. She herself has been in and out of the hospital for a myriad of illnesses- severe anxiety, bipolar disorder, severe psychotic depression, OCD, and borderline personality disorder- and maybe it's due to anxiety and depression running in my family I know what feels like a disproportionate amount of people that suffer with anxiety and depression. I just find the whole project so inspiring, and I wanted to share it.
