Chris Froome on Sunday won the Tour de France for a second time after a ceremonial final stage in Paris.
Chris Froome effectively sealed a second Tour de France title despite Nairo Quintana's nerve-shredding ascent of Alpe-d'Huez.
One more major test stands between Chris Froome and a second Tour de France title - but Nairo Quintana will push the Briton all the way up Alpe-d'Huez on Saturday.
Froome (Team Sky) had made serene progress until Friday's 138-kilometres 19th stage from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to La Toussuire when his rivals managed to expose him, and Quintana (Movistar) trimmed his overall advantage to two minutes 38 seconds.
Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) won, claiming some consolation for his poor title defence, after making his initial move when Froome adjusted his bike after a mechanical stop on the Col de la Croix de Fer.
Romain Bardet was victorious on stage 18 of the Tour de France as Chris Froome maintained his commanding advantage to move a step closer to a second title in Paris on Sunday.
German rider Simon Geschke held his nerve on some gruelling climbs and dangerous descents to time his breakaway perfectly and win Stage 17 in Pra-Loup.
Chris Froome fought off attack after attack to preserve his commanding Tour de France lead after stage 17 to Pra Loup.
Ruben Plaza won Stage 16 after an enthralling chase down the final descent into Gap against a frustrated Peter Sagan who finished second for the fifth time this Tour as Geraint Thomas was involved in a nasty crash with a telegraph pole.

Smoke-Free Housing in Houston
The Houston Housing Authority implements a new policy that bans smoking in public housing for both residents and visitors.
The new policy affects 25 units in Houston, impacting about 5,500 families.
The city released a statement saying it's meant to protect non-smokers – especially children – from the effect of second-hand smoke. Those who live in or visit HHA properties will not be allowed to smoke inside, in common areas, or within 25 feet of main entryways.

Study: Some teens aren't that driven to drive
LANCASTER — Briana Phillips turned 16 in August, but is in absolutely no rush to get her driver's license.
In an effort to nudge her forward, her mother, Cat Phillips, got her the Pennsylvania driver's manual last March.
"When we find it, she's probably going to have to wipe the dust off of it," Cat Phillips said wryly.
The Hempfield High School junior said she expects to get her learner's permit at some point, but for now she's busy with powder-puff football practice, Rugby Club, her studies and her part-time job at a pizza shop.
She is one of many teenagers who, faced with what was once considered to be an important rite of passage — obtaining a driver's license at the very first opportunity — are saying, "Whatever."
"I want to wait until I can afford to buy a car," Briana said. "What's the point of having a license if you don't have a car?"
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the state in 1999 had nearly 154,000 licensed drivers who were 16 or 17.
By last year, that number had dropped by nearly half, to 79,383.
A recent national study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that fewer than half — 44 percent — of teens now get their driver's licenses within the year after they become eligible to do so.
Just over half — 54 percent — get their licenses before they turn 18 (the percentage is significantly higher for teens living in high-income households).
Two decades ago, the AAA study noted, two-thirds of teens were licensed by their 18th birthdays.
Of course, there still are plenty of teenagers getting licensed as soon as the law allows.
But in visits last week to two schools — suburban Hempfield High School and McCaskey East High School in Lancaster — it was easy to find teens who were delaying their entry into America's car culture.
This has worrying implications, the AAA study maintained: If young drivers wait until they're 18 to get their licenses, they won't be subject to graduated driver licensing (GDL) requirements.
In Pennsylvania, this means they won't need to put in 65 documented hours of driving practice.
They'll be unfettered by the restrictions placed on drivers under 18.
Pennsylvania instituted its GDL program in 1999.
Isabel Bentz, owner of A-1 Mumma's Driving School in Lancaster, said teenagers who live with their parents tend to get more support as they acquire the skills they need behind the wheel.
"It's kind of scary" that drivers, on turning 18, could get licensed with "zero driving experience," she said, adding, "but maybe on the other hand, you're more mature. ... One would hope."
PennDOT spokeswoman Jan T. McKnight said that while "people who wait until 18 or older to obtain their driver's license are not subject to the GDL requirements, it is impossible to predict whether they will be more crash-prone than those who go through the program. We do know that the GDL program has dramatically reduced the crash and fatality numbers for 16- and 17-year-olds over the past 15 years. Driving is a skill that improves with practice."
Brian Gallagher, principal of Solanco High School, is somewhat bemused by the attitudes of today's teens to driving.
When he was in high school, he recalled, "The day you turned 16, you wanted to take your driver's test. ... If they made you wait one day, it was horrible.
"I couldn't name a friend who wasn't ready to drive the day he turned 16. ... It was such a milestone that we all looked forward to."
Gallagher said that parking lot duty at his school used to be a challenge, as student-driven cars came and went from all directions. Now, he said, his school's student parking lot is "maybe half as full as it was three years ago."
And he said he hears regularly from parents who tell him their kids just aren't that driven to drive.
"It's an interesting change in the culture."
He and others who work with teens —and teens themselves — say a variety of factors may be behind the change.
Interestingly, none of the dozen or so teens interviewed cited the demands of the GDL program as one of those factors.
J.P. McCaskey High School senior Tiffany Doll, 17, and McCaskey East High School senior Deja Manning, 18, said that they and other students might be more anxious to drive if high schools still offered driver education classes.
Gallagher noted that up until several years ago, driver education was a mandatory part of the curriculum for 10th-graders at Solanco High School.
But because of budget cuts and the demands on the academic day, it's been replaced by a voluntary online course.
Many other high schools have gone the same route.
"We were putting it in front of them for 45 days," Gallagher noted, suggesting that it may be a case of out of sight, out of mind.
He and others said there likely are economic factors at work, too.
State figures show that the unemployment rate among teens ages 16-19 in the second quarter of this year stood at 26 percent. When teens don't have part-time jobs, they may not be able to cover the costs of gas and car insurance.
And even when they're employed, those costs can be daunting.
"With minimum wage, it's hard to fill up your gas tank," Tiffany Doll said.
Larissa Conn, 17, a Hempfield High School junior, knows that buying and maintaining a car is an expensive proposition.
She has a job at a fast-food restaurant, and intends to go for her learner's permit, but only "after I get a good amount of money in my bank account."
Ben Naumann, 16, a junior at Hempfield, actually passed his driving exam last week.
But he had his permit for nearly 11 months before he got his license (he turns 17 on Thursday).
He was content to get rides with friends.
He believes getting one's driver's license is "still a pretty big deal."
But he also thinks teens may not feel so compelled to drive because interacting electronically — via text-messaging and social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook — is so much easier than actually getting together.
When he plays Xbox with friends, Ben said, "You don't need a license to go out and do that. You can stay in your own house and connect online."
Francheska Varela, 17, a senior at McCaskey East, agreed that there's less of a need to socialize in person. When she and a friend watch "The Vampire Diaries," they text each other during the TV show.
Gallagher, of Solanco, said that he wanted to drive as a teen because his parents weren't inclined to chauffeur him everywhere he wanted to go. "This generation of parents are more willing to do it," he said.
And it's not necessarily a matter of helicopter parents catering to their precious dears: For busy parents and kids, 20 minutes in the car, on the way home from band or sports practice, may be the only time they get to be together.
"It's amazing how many kids, how structured their day is, from the time they get up to the time they go to sleep," Gallagher said.
Cat Phillips loves spending any time she can with her daughter. But she works full time, and when she cannot drive Briana somewhere, she worries about her daughter getting rides with friends. "I'd be way grateful if she would get her license."
"It baffles me," she said, of her daughter's nonchalance toward getting behind the wheel. "The day I turned 16, I was driving."
Denuel Jarba, a 17-year-old McCaskey senior who's aiming to study international business in college, said she has more pressing concerns — her classes, her role in the school Senate, her part-time job at a local supermarket — than learning to drive.
"My schedule is full," Denuel said.
Francheska Varela agreed: "I'm more worried about my education first. My driver's license can wait until later."
They and other city students said they find it easy to get around the city, and while it's a hassle sometimes to rely on public buses, they are accustomed to doing so.
Darius Stuckey, 17, is a senior at Hempfield who is on the school's football, basketball and track teams. He said he'll probably pursue a driver's license after graduation.
He has neither the time for, nor any interest in, driving now, he said. "I feel like it's more of a responsibility than a privilege."
Mark Reinhardt, the Grade 12 principal at Hempfield High School, said his youngest son was 17 when "he finally got his license."
He said he thinks some teens might be "a little afraid" of the responsibility that driving requires.
The potential dangers — of driving while under the influence, of driving while texting — have been drilled into teenagers. Even with their natural inclination toward invincibility, the message may be seeping in.
Hempfield junior Kiki Vassil, 16, said she wants her license, but her parents "want to make sure I'm mature enough to understand that driving is a big responsibility."
She admits to being a little apprehensive about driving.
"It's not something to take lightly," she said, adding, "Not everyone's ready to drive by the age of 16."
Kaylee Givler, however, is eager to get her driver's license.
On May 28, when she turned 16, she left school early to get her learner's permit. The Hempfield junior is eligible to take her driving test in two months.
Said Givler: "I can't wait for these two months to be up, to be more independent."

Perhaps I should have written it as
Scan[(isCommon[#] = True) &, timeStampsInCommon]
to emphasize that the function (isCommon[#] = True) & is only invoked
for its side effects, i.e. defining new DownValues for the symbol
This will set the value of isCommon[ ... ] to True for each of the
elements in timeStampsInCommon. Thus, isCommon[elem] is equivalent to
MemberQ[timeStampsInCommon, elem], but it is much faster if
timeStampsInCommon has many elements (because Mathematica will use a
hash table for looking up elements instead of simply iterating through
timeStampsInCommon). Note that isCommon[] needs to be Clear[]ed after
each use (a better solution is encapsulating the whole thing into a
Module where isCommon is a local symbol).

To all,
I am having a ball with BT2. And, the benefit to me is that on my own system I have converted to WPA and No SSID. And, I am slowing learning Linux and BT2...another plus.
But, wondering with all the forums, software, and the nice BT2 CD (and other CDs out there), what is the main usage by all the folks out there? What percentage of the users are:
...Security Professionals
...War Drivers
...Travellers tieing into Airport or other WEP hotspots
And, yes, I know the last one is illegal....but, .... I wonder what the % is who actually do that. Seems like in an urban area....this would be tempting.
And, what is the Wardriving all about? What is the goal or pleasure? Is it kind of like gps treasure hunting?
Just wondering. I have high speed DSL but realize from the forums and web sites that there seems to be a pretty hefty industry built around this software.
Even on ebay, the sellers seem to know what the hot BT2 cards are with higher prices.
Any thoughts or inputs?

Meet the Class OF 2015
Rachel SibilaMansfield, Texas
1. Where did you grow up?
My dad was in the military so I had the opportunity to grow up all over the United States. However, I've spent the last six years in Texas and now consider it to be my home.
2. Where did you attend undergrad?
I attended undergrad at Texas A&M University. Gig 'em!
3. What degree(s) have you earned?
My degree is a Bachelor's of Arts in English with a Minor in History.
4. Why did you choose to attend OU Law?
There are many things that I loved about OU when I visited for the first time (the campus, the town, the school pride), but the main reason for my decision to attend OU Law is the sense of community that I feel every time I'm there.
5. What is your favorite thing about OU?
My favorite thing about OU Law would have to be the faculty. They've been so helpful throughout this whole process, and I can't wait to work with them throughout my time there.
6. What (or who) inspired you to pursue a legal education?
I have always had a very deep-rooted love for animals and, as a child, I wanted to be a vet. However, I quickly found out that my brain shuts down when science is involved (hence the English degree). As a result, I decided to pursue a career in animal rights law. Ultimately, I would love to do work for the Animal Legal Defense Fund, an organization that works to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. I couldn't be happier about my decision to attend law school, and I am looking forward to the challenges the next three years will bring.
7. What is an interesting fact about you?
An interesting fact about me is that as a child I moved seven times (to six different states) until my dad retired in Texas. I then graduated from Texas A&M at the age of 20 and will turn 21 less than one month before starting law school.

Creating a system to ensure the speedy delivery of information to the prime minister's office during an emergency is an urgent task for the government, former Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said in a recent interview.
Ahead of the two-year anniversary of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Edano of the Democratic Party of Japan criticized the initial response of Tokyo Electric Power Co. when the nuclear crisis began at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, saying "there was no information coming from Tepco."
Edano, who served in the key government post at the time of the disasters, also said administrative information did not arrive with the timing needed.
"The major lesson we learned was that we were unable to collect information efficiently," he said.
At the time, "no one could stop the expansion of the nuclear crisis at the administrative and political level," Edano said. He warned that if the information collection system is not rebuilt, the same situation will happen again.
He blamed the education and science ministry for the Kan administration's inability to utilize forecasts from the System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information, or SPEEDI, on the spread of radioactive substances from the Tepco plant, which had three reactor core meltdowns.
"That was clearly the problem of the ministry," Edano said. "The ministry did not tell even me that it was using the SPEEDI system. I think that was intentional."
Edano defended Prime Minister Naoto Kan's response to the nuclear crisis, saying that if he had not visited Tepco, no information would have come directly to the government.
"There were definitely minus points, but Kan's response had both merits and demerits," Edano said.
He criticized the administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Liberal Democratic Party for pursuing a review of the previous government's decision to completely phase out nuclear power by the 2030s.
"This goes against public opinion and is a mistake," Edano said.

Technical Abstract: Site-specific weed management can encompass both limiting treatment to areas of the field where weed pressure is above the economic threshold (patch spraying) and varying the choice of herbicide for most cost-effective weed control of local populations. The potential benefits of patch spraying with multiple, postemergence treatments in irrigated corn was evaluated in simulation studies using weed counts from 16 fields. Patch spraying with one, two or the number of treatments that maximized net return for a field was simulated. With patch spraying with one treatment, the average area of a field left untreated was 34.5% and net return increased $3.09/ha and crop yield decreased by.05% of weed-free yield compared to the uniform application. Patch spraying with two or more treatments in a field increased net return by more than $4.94/ ha with just a small increase (4%) in the area of the field treated. Net return increases with patch spraying with one treatment because herbicide cost is reduced. With additional treatments, net return increased in a field because herbicide cost was reduced, crop yield was increased or both. Grasses were controlled better with multiple rather than a single treatment for patch spraying and the variability of escapes within a field was changed. Up to eight treatments were recommended for patch spraying with multiple treatments, but there may be little benefit in using more than three treatments within a field. Moreover, herbicide use may be substantially increased. Benefits varied among fields with a net return of $8.23/ha or more in half of the fields and a maximum of $19.20/ha with two treatments. Patch spraying may be best recommended as a strategy of using multiple treatments within a field in addition to leaving some areas untreated in a field and as a strategy that is appropriate in some fields rather than a standard replacement for uniform application.

Great review, Jamie. I've come to the conclusion from reading it that the game isn't for me, but I might check it out in the future regardless. I had expected it to be somewhat similar to a Deus Ex where I can explore an open-world, but that's what I get for looking at nothing more than screenshots (I do this with all games, because I like to be "surprised").
The game sure does have one hell of a lineage though, and given its cult following, I sure do respect it.

Remove sand before seeding or laying sod?
We recently removed our pool, and there's about 3" of sand where the pool was. Do we need to remove the sand before we put down topsoil? I don't know yet if we are going to do sod or seed. Thanks.
Ayuh,.... Ya need to maintain whatever Grade ya got, whether with dirt or sand don't matter so much,....
Thanks. I was told by someone that I need to remove the sand, because if I don't it will suck up all the moisture, and the grass will not grow properly. Make sense?
Some sand is a good thing, promotes aeration. Too much and you have a beach.
Remove most of it---roto till what is left into the soil---add more soil to level the area.
Like Pole cat mentioned---the sand will cause the grass to brown out first ---not good.
how big was the pool ?
27' diameter. I'm trying to get rid of the sand via Craigslist, but no takers yet.
I had a 25'x50' section that was all sand (about 6" deep) in my yard. I had 3 loads of topsoil brought in, roughly graded, then I tilled it in with all the sand, regraded, and planted seed. That was a few months ago, Bermuda is growing pretty strong (though, so are tons of weeds!). I'm going to reseed this week because there are several patches that the seed didn't last (wind, birds, etc).
I'd till it in, plant and go.
With enough synthetic fertilizer and water you could have a putting green or remove it, stock-pile and broadcast it on the street this winter. I won't rust your car and the volume is only about 1.7 yards if my math is correct.
Thanks guys. When is it too late to plant seed here in S/E Wisconsin? I'm about 25 miles west of Milwaukee. Thanks.
Fall is a great time to seed. Freeze thaw cycles work the seed into the soil and spring rains keep it wet when it sprouts.
So do I have until late October? Or will that be too cold?
There is no too cold. In fact I think I would wait until snow is coming then the seed will be covered and less available to birds.

The No. 21 Buckeyes (9-0) were led by senior center Terence Dials who scored a season-high 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Guards Je'Kel Foster and Ron Lewis added 14 points apiece for OSU.
For Gardner-Webb (5-4), center Simon Conn led the way with 14 points.
"Our guys came out and really competed with great intensity out of the gates," OSU coach Thad Matta said. "Our defense allowed us to get out and get some transition baskets. Terence down low did a good job and really got going."
The first half was all Ohio State. Led by Foster, the Buckeyes held a 9-6 lead at the first media timeout (15:50). A Dials basket at the 14:20 mark gave OSU a 14-8 lead, and a Foster 3-pointer pushed the advantage to 17-8 at the 13:51 mark.
Ohio State slowly poured it on from there. A Dials turnaround gave the Buckeyes a 30-12 lead at the 7:03 mark. Foster then found Lewis for a breakaway dunk at the 6:40 mark for a 32-12 OSU lead.
A Matt Sylvester free throw gave OSU its largest lead of the first half, 33-12, with 6:24 remaining.
Conn, Gardner-Webb's leading scorer, had been held scoreless up to that point. The 6-9 senior from Australia entered play averaging 16 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.
But Conn began to make his presence felt. He scored 10 of the next 13 points for the Bulldogs and Gardner-Webb was able to cut OSU's lead to 38-25 with 2:40 remaining in the first half.
But that was as close as the Bulldogs could get. Two free throws from Lewis, as well as a driving lay-up from Sylvester Mayes, gave Ohio State a 42-25 lead at halftime.
The Buckeyes began the second half with a 9-2 run and took a commanding 51-27 lead. And there was no letting up for the home team on this night.
A Foster 3-pointer, followed by a quick turnaround basket from Dials, followed by a J.J. Sullinger lay-up gave OSU a 61-33 lead with 14:18 remaining in the second half.
The Bulldogs were able to cut the deficit to as little as 23 (62-39) but Ohio State continued to impose its will.
A basket from Dials, a 3-pointer from point guard Jamar Butler and two free throws from Foster gave OSU a 79-46 lead with 4:15 left in the second half.
A driving basket from Mayes gave the Buckeyes their largest lead of the game, 83-48, at the 3:18 mark.
The Buckeyes cruised from there to preserve their best start to a season since 1990-91 (when OSU began 17-0).
"When you take care of the basketball like we did tonight with 19 assists and five turnovers, I think that's something we can really continue to build on," Matta said.
Butler and Mayes finished with nine points each for the Buckeyes. Sullinger and Sylvester had five each, and Ivan Harris and Matt Terwilliger added four apiece. The 6-8 Terwilliger threw down a putback dunk for the second time this season.
Gardner-Webb is a solid team that defeated Minnesota and narrowly lost to North Carolina. But the Bulldogs were no match for the Buckeyes on this night.
Dials, who seems to be hitting his stride just before the Big Ten season begins, was 8 of 13 from the floor.
"That was huge," Matta said. "Our guys did a great job of getting him the basketball and he made some nice moves down there. As we've said all along, when Terence plays well, it obviously makes us a better basketball team."
Dials carved out space in the lane all evening and was aggressive once he received the ball.
"I had space and tried to get deep into the paint," he said. "Once I get two feet in the paint I really don't have to do much but just turn and shoot.
"I didn't really do anything special. I just took what the defense gave me."
Foster set a career-high with six steals. He entered play averaging a Big Ten best 2.11 steals per game.
"We knew that Gardner-Webb was a good team and we knew that we had to come out with great defensive intensity," Foster said.
Ohio State will get back in action Dec. 31 at home against LSU (1 p.m.).

Rebuilding portico entryway
63 Attachment(s)
I'm going to tear this entryway down and rebuild it. How do I properly attach it to the house? Beneath the trim is a 2x6 toenailed to the sheathing and the first rafter is nailed through the shingles to the house. Any ideas are appreciated.
63 Attachment(s)
I was thinking of putting blocking between the studs in the house. That would give me something more than just the sheathing to nail into. Would that be enough to prevent it from pulling out? How about the use of some kind of hanger?
Clutch, I know that you are going to get a permit for this.
When you dimantle the structure, you can study to see how it was installed.
(Make sure that you also have a well thought our plan on how to safely dismantle and remove it)
Also, review some information here that will help you a little (shed style roof, but the info. can still be helpful):
Got to run to work...
63 Attachment(s)
Thanks for the link Atlantic, that will help. I did look at how this was originally installed. The main structure is nailed into the sheathing, that's why I have trepidations of simply copying what was done. If I wasn't residing the house, I would have simply replaced the rotted/ing pieces. I think the roof structure should be nailed to the house studs and be placed directly on the sheathing much like a ledger. They way it was done it was attached through the cedar shingles.
Edit Additional Pics:
Lately, the building office has been letting me get by with my existing permit on my additional creaping scope projects.
Edit: For anyone looking, I found this link http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ho_dec...277917,00.html
This happens to be exactly what I was thinking for how to tie a 3 sided frame into the house. The addition of the 2x6 braces using joist hangers attached to the house's structure is what I was having problems wrapping my head around.
63 Attachment(s)
For my rebuild, I'm going to extend the gable end overhang over the top step.
I've done some research and the fly rafter (or barge rafter) looks like it's only supported by the ridge board, decking, and fascia trim, is that right?
How far can I extend this before I need ladders?
Finally, how do you flash the peak against the house?
As always I appreciate any answers, ideas, and comments.
63 Attachment(s)
The original construction design had a prop supporting the set of rafters furthest away from the house. In reality it was disconnected and not supporting anything.
I want to design the new covered entryway with a cathedral ceiling and glass in the front top triangle. The idea for the glass is to have the house number reverse frosted on it.
The ceiling of the old entryway was suspended and not structural but the center prop looks like it was. Since the idea behind the center prop is to keep the walls from spreading, would a collartie be able to replace the center prop?

Definitely the future - just not a very accomplished version of it
This thing sucks. I have had one for about 3 months. I have to restart it at least once a week. Ditched it and got a different brand. One that works.
Not a lot of point in having remote access software if the wretched thing keeps dropping out and here is nobody at home to restart it Seems to be terminal this latest time . Four months old!
Was indeed terminal, probably down to overheating! Rather worrying in a device that is designed to be left on and unattended. I will not be replacing with a like to like that's for sure even though price has fallen by 25% or therabouts.
No matter what the box says, no matter what other reviews say the software for the WD N900C that is included is NOT Mac compatible. Using Time Machine instead of the supplied software is very undependable, tends to lock up TM and is a PITA.
It does not have the ability to upload files from iPad, just photos. I tried and I look many ways to do it, and nothing, so don't waste your many if you work with ipads

Bulldog Graduates Include Taylor and Veazey
Dec. 13, 2013
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson
While Johnathan Taylor (J.T.) and Chance Veazey arrived in Athens a year apart, they will be forever linked. Both exceptional baseball student-athletes, they had their playing careers end prematurely due to separate accidents that left them paralyzed.
Nothing prepares someone for a life-altering incident that Veazey experienced in October of 2009 or for Taylor in March of 2011. College began for them in Athens and then was interrupted with a stay at the Shepherd Center where both completed rehabilitation to adapt to their new life. Then, it was back home to Tifton for Veazey and Acworth for Taylor, but ultimately they returned to the Classic City. One goal never changed for this Bulldog duo. One thing they set out to do when they first arrived on campus was to graduate. Today, they did. Family, friends, and all those in the Bulldog Nation that have continued to support Taylor and Veazey can celebrate their steadfast dedication.
Both completed internships this past summer that provided a glimpse of life after college. That concept can be daunting for some individuals, perhaps more for athletes after their career ends. For this duo, it was just the latest achievement.
On this day, each proved what matters is what lies within us.
Taylor and Veazey were among the 42 UGA student-athletes that received degrees at Fall Commencement in Stegeman Coliseum.
Taylor looks to use his degree in Consumer Economics to begin a career as a financial manager.
"One mountain has already been climbed, said Taylor. "It was difficult, but I overcame it, and I'm thankful for the support from my family, friends, the community. It made the journey a lot easier. It's a big accomplishment, and it feels great to see a lot of people get up early this morning and make it to my graduation."
"It's pretty cool to see everybody together. You get to see them one last time, and that makes it special," said Veazey who earned a degree in Risk Management and Insurance. "It's a bittersweet day. You get school over with but I start work in a couple of weeks, and I'm sure I'll be saying I wouldn't mind studying for a test. I've found a good job, and we'll see what happens."
Veazey is in the Agent Aspirant Program with State Farm and will work locally with Shane Dekle. Veazey said his goal is to run his own agency one day.
"Sometimes we think we have problems in our own life, and then you take a look at those two individuals and see what they've had to overcome from a physical standpoint, and it makes you appreciate everything we have in our lives," said UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity. "Chance and J.T. put the work in; they are a remarkable story. We will always be here for them as well as for all our student-athletes graduating."
Along with Taylor and Veazey, Brett DeLoach (Management) and Joey Side (Sport Management) were among the baseball student-athletes graduating Friday. Also, baseball head coach Scott Stricklin plus former Bulldogs Zach Cone, Kyle Farmer, Michael Palazzone and Tyler Maloof were in attendance at a UGA Athletic Association Graduation Breakfast to support their teammates with more expected to attend graduation.

Virtual teachers: Negotiating new spaces for teaching bodies
Pendergast, Donna & Kapitzke, Cushla (2007) Virtual teachers: Negotiating new spaces for teaching bodies. Pedagogies: An International Journal, 1(4), pp. 253-267.
|PDF (178kB)
In 2002 the authors reviewed the educational performance of a state education department virtual schooling service during its first two years of operation 2000-2001 (Pendergast, Kapitzke, Land, Luke & Bahr, 2002). Established by Education Queensland, the Virtual Schooling Service (VSS) utilises synchronous and asynchronous online delivery strategies and a range of learning technologies to support students at a distance (see http://education.qld.gov.au/learningplace/vss/). The service commenced with a focus on senior secondary subjects. At present, there are over 700 students in 89 schools across the state enrolled in 9 subjects. In response to the recommendations of the study, a series of professional development activities were conducted with the VSS teachers by the authors. Opportunity for critical reflection was provided, including consideration of the ways in which the teachers were developing as a learning community. Some data, including visual representations, were collected from participants with the purpose of understanding how VSS teachers are constructed as professionals. This study compares and contrasts that data with self-constructions of teacher professionals in other fields.

Below is an overview of the data we used to create BroadbandNow.com.
When we set out to build a comprehensive tool to help consumers find the best broadband in their area, we knew it wasn't going to be an easy task.
But with 72% of American adults using the internet on a daily basis, we believe that reliable internet access is as important as having electricity was 60 years ago… so we pressed ahead.
After months of crunching many gigabytes of governmental and propritary data, we've created a solution that makes finding a broadband provider in your area easier than ever…
…but we couldn't have done it without the hard work of dedicated researchers, data scientists, and teams of engineers from both governmental and non-governmental organizations.
With this in mind, below is a list of data sources and articles that were used to help create the broadband search tool that you'll find on BroadbandNow.com.

Premier League betting preview: Stoke City
Summer Summary
The biggest transfer saga Stoke have been involved with over the off season is a potential swoop for free agent and benchwarmer extraordinaire, Michael Owen. It says a lot for the progress the Potters have made under Tony Pulis that his signing would pretty make no difference to the expectations surrounding the group. He's a name and will probably attract more attention than the club are accustomed to, but the reality is they already have strikers who are equally, if not more, threatening than a 32-year old who has started 18 games (six of which were in the league) in the last three seasons. Robert Huth being diagnosed with meningitis has thrown a late spanner in the works. He has been a huge part of the club's progress and a prolonged absence would be hard to cover for.
Something to be positive about
One of Tony Pulis's great skills is producing good results without ever really making any of his players looking especially appealing to other clubs. 'Arsenal in £15 million plunge for Glenn Whelan' is never a tabloid headline we're very likely to see, no matter how far Stoke move up the table. Yet again, the Potters look like they'll hold on to their key players and if they do that, they should steer well clear of the relegation scrap and have more than one eye on booking another place in Europe.
Something to be a bit worried about
For the first time since taking charge of the Potters for a second time, Tony Pulis came under some fire for Stoke's poor run of form in the second half of the season. They won four Premier League games in 2012 and 9 points out of a possible 33. In fairness, it may have been down to the fact they were safe from relegation early on in the season and the intensity was lacking thereafter. But sometimes a manager can only take a team so far and Stoke fans will be hoping that point hasn't been reached just yet. They were the league's lowest scorers last year and that needs to be improved upon.
An optimistic season bet
Stoke to win the league with a +37 point handicap at 16/1. If they can avoid the second half of the season and keep going all the way to the line, they should improve on their points total and with a further 37 points to be added to it, that could put them very close to the top of the handicap table.
A more realistic season bet
For all the obvious progress Stoke have made since arriving in the Premier League, they haven't broken their way into the Top 10 come the end of the season. They've finished 12th, 11th, 13th and 14thin the last four seasons and they're 15/8 to end the season in the top half of the table.

FMS Diary: The Beginning
As you may know by now, IF! has been asked to present the Future Marketing Summit in February. Two of my big themes at the moment are transparency and participation and I am trying to leverage both to help promote the show.
Firstly, I am going to write this diary on the pages of IF! – I want to share my thoughts, the things IF! is doing to prepare for this day, and get feedback from you all.
Secondly, I am going to encourage participation by asking markeitng bloggers to help. On Thursday I sent an email to about a dozen prominent marketing bloggers about the Summit. I didn't hit the ad-news blogs because the organisers (Remote) will be PR-ing them. What I would like to do with the marketing bloggers is somehow get them involved with the build up and the event themselves.
In the email I sent them I asked if they would like to help me. Over the next few weeks, I will send them interviews with speakers from the Summit – original content which I hope they'd want to put up on their blogs. But it doesn't stop there. I want them to get involved – for a start, I want them to suggest what questions to ask the speakers. And I have other thoughts, like running a Flickr photo hunt.
In addition, I want to provide tools that other bloggers and readers can use: a del.icio.us library of links of articles about the Future Marketing Summit, a Flickr group with related images, a Technorati tag and so on (thanks Dana for the ideas!).
So. That's the beginning. Hope you enjoy the ride with me.
If you have any feedback – or would like to get involved. Feel free to email me, Piers Fawkes, any time.

Review(!): 'Life and Laughing: My Story' by Michael McIntyre
Rating: 3.5 stars
Format: eBook
Source: Library's eBook site
Published: by Penguin Books Limited in October 2010
The Synopsis
I thought that, rather than writing what you already know (this is an autobiography of a comedian named Michael McIntyre), I would put in a funny clip that actually gives you a better idea about the kind of tone of the book and the person who wrote it...I'm not sure how well known Michael McIntyre is around the world (perhaps nowhere outside of the UK!) but anyway, enjoy!
***Sincere apologies if that doesn't work - I'm on my PC in my office and it doesn't have the right media player so I can't check...if it doesn't work, it will be rectified from my trusty laptop this evening!***
It is, as I hoped, really very entertaining! Laugh-out-loud type funny, which is, as you can imagine, not ideal for public transport. The tone was exactly like that of his stand-up and that was perfect.

(Some waffle and..) The 2011 TBR Pile Challenge!!!
The Goal:
To finally read 12 books from your "to be read" pile, within 12 months.
1. Each of these 12 books must have been on your bookshelf or "To Be Read" list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2010 or later (any book published in the year 2009 or earlier qualifies, as long as it has been on your TBR pile - I WILL be checking publication dates). Caveat: Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books end up in the "can't get through" pile.
2. To be eligible, you must sign-up with Mr. Linky below - link to your list (so create it ahead of time!) and add updated links to each book's review. Every listed book must be completed and must be reviewed in order to count as completed.
3. Your list must be posted by Friday, December 31st, 2010.
There's more information over at the sign-up post here - to be honest, if you haven't checked out Roof Beam Reader already while blogging around, shame on you! The reviews are particularly interesting and penned by...wait for it...a MAN! So yeh, it's awesome, go there now! Why not sign up for the challenge while you're there?! :)
On to the list!!! The 12 books I plan on reading are:
- Arthur and George by Julian Barnes
- The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
- Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
- The Girl at Lion D'Or by Sebastian Faulks
- Possession by A.S.Byatt
- Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostotevsky
- Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
- To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
- A Changed Man by Francine Prose
- Random Acts of Heroic Love by Danny Scheinmann
- Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
And my two reserves (because some of those might beat me..we'll see..) are:
- Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
- Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra
On a festive aside, my boyfriend and I went to lovely York today to use our pre-Christmas leave to finish off our present buying - I snapped this little picture hastily on my phone (because it was snowing and my boyfriend said I was being embarassing!) and thought I'd share even if it isn't the best picture...aah, York is such a beautiful city in places - particularly while hugging a mug of mulled wine and buying presents!!! :)

The TBR Dare!
Wednesday, 8 December 2010
HELP needed: Twitter Mega-Novice
But my curiosity has gradually been piqued, particularly by bloggers who mention book clubs, read-alongs and other such bookish activities. So I finally signed up and thought I would give it a go!
Turns out, it's confusing! I have no idea how I'm supposed to find all these lovely activities, never mind get involved...so this is a humble plea to those more experienced than I in "tweeting"...any advice would be lovely :) And any recommendations of stuff I can join or get involved in on a book-type theme would be even lovelier!!

Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Ok, problem solved. So with the transom and bracket both tilting it's hard to say what dimensions will produce clearance for the motor to tilt fully up yet still clear the water. Here's a picture of the old bracket that didn't allow full upswing.
So I used the old bracket to "mock up" the transom to estimate a new bracket. A large cardboard bolted to the old bracket in the garage showed maybe 4" interference when the motor tilted up.
I wanted to give the bracket a slight tilt but concerned the motor then won't clear the water. Probably the hard part was accurately drilling the holes to match the boat because they weren't all true. Here's the final sitting position with clearance to the water as well as the transom. Success. Thanks for all the guidance you guys gave.
Lastly, I want to share this home made hoist really made hoisting the 90 lb motor a breeze. You can see we were relieved at the final resting place!

Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Thanks, more knowledge....Was the 4 HP Tohatsu a short or a long shaft? I'm really asking is the OB well designed for short shaft? Reason I'm asking is maybe going to 4 stroke long shaft electric starting, alternator model turned out to offset some of the good with a down side. If a good used 6 hp 2 stroke short shaft in the original OB well would suffice it may be less effort and affordable.
Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Briefly had a 4 hp 4-stroke Tohatsu in the OB well (i.e. mounted directly on the bottom of the hole, no bracket). Front to back, it was too long to tilt all the way up. I now have an Evinrude 9.9 in there, 2-stroke, which just clears the top of the hole when tilted (got to be careful about your knuckles); the bottom of the gearcase clears the water by a comfortable inch.
To tilt the motor I have a rope looped around the top section with the tail running through the hole and into the cockpit. It's pretty easy to do, but a more permanent solution would be to rig some tackle to do the same job. Eventually I'll probably be in the market for a new motor, and then I'll be dealing with the same problem again.
I keep hearing about a different bracket design built and sold locally, I think called the Breeze Bracket. The mounting plate rode vertically on rails mounted to the transom. Unfortunately I don't think you can get them anymore.
|Sea Dawg
Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
THanks very much. Would be good to hear from some others who have that arrangement on whether there's interference. This can't be the only Tohatsu on a 27' Catalina and it ran quite well.
Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Yeah- we just use the transom as it was designed. You should have a metal mounting plate on the inside/bottom of the opening for the clamps. So it should already be reinforced.
BUT - you might still have trouble tilting the motor all the way up if the head is too long/wide for the opening.
Here's a pic (pardon the grunge - with the drought we haven't had water at our slips for powerwashing for over a year now):
|Sea Dawg
Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Thanks Smack. The motor shown is the old 4 hp. I'm not sure we're getting the Tohatsu high enough to engage the pawl on the tilt. Might just be with all the humans hanging on the transom, we're pushing the aft down and just need to figure out how to get it to "click". Wait, are you saying don't use a bracket? Maybe just reinforce the transom and use it as designed? Novel idea...
Re: Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Man that looks just like my boat. I think I even have the same motor! Except we have ours mounted directly on the transom plate. It does touch the water a bit - but not bad.
The previous owners had a lift-up bracket on the transom starboard of the OB well, but they didn't reinforce it very well and the OB well walls started cracking/delaminating. It seemed a bit squirrelly too with the motor offset.
Just make sure to do provide a good backing plate if you go that route.
|Sea Dawg
Need help on 27' Catalina kicker
Alright, I could use your smarts on kicker bracket for my nephew's 27' Catalina. There was a 4 hp 2 cycle and it just missed the water in the up position on the fixed bracket. The new 4 cycle 9.8 Tohatsu doesn't sit clear of the water. The wood in the bracket was flexing so we rebuilt and fiberglassed it, but I'm thinking we're going to have issues with keeping the nice newer outboard out of the water. Is there a trick to getting the motor to "lock" in the tilt up position? It's so heavy we quit trying to tilt into the "lock positon and just removed it. I'm thinking we'll have to spend more time fooling with a 90# outboard hanging over the transom to figure it all out. Looked like it was going to still be in contact with the water. Should a spring assisted lifting bracket get the motor clear of the water witout tilting the motor? The transom was made with the opening for tilting the motor. Thanks in advance for your tips.

Selena Gomez Drowns Break-Up Woes in Hooters' Wings
Satisfying her craving for some tasty chicken wings, Selena Gomez headed to Hooters in Burbank, California on Monday (December 17).
The "Spring Breakers" star looked cute in an olive green coat, black leggings, and knee-high boots as she chatted on her cell phone while making her way past the awaiting shutterbugs.
After being spotted out with Selena's ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber may have broken the final straw in the power couple's on-again off-again romance.
According to a HollywoodLife source, "At this point, Selena isn't going to any of Justin's concerts ever again. She doesn't want to speak to him anymore and told him it's over. Hanging out with Nick proved that he wants to just be a jerk about this, and Selena's sick of being heartbroken."
On Friday night, the youngest JoBro tweeted, "Just played @justinbieber in ping pong. Went to deuce both times, but he's the ping ping champion. #Igotyounexttime."

Thanks for the advice... I try gel sometimes and maybe I'm using the wrong brand, but it just makes my hair really sticky... my hair will hold the curls for a day or so but after its just sticky and gross (and i need it to stay for at least a week because i don't have time to wait for it to dry during the week)... it's probably because I bought L.A. Looks which was probably a bad idea.. does ecostyler give the same effect? and how long do your curls typically last with and without the gel?

With church leadership lacking, peace activists seek creative outreach

Today, the author of Hebrews sets the ambience for our worship, holding up Abraham, our father in faith, for our edification and emulation. In a mini-biography, the ancient writer reminds us of the salient moments of Abraham's life, each one of which was made possible by faith. By faith Abraham obeyed, not knowing where he was to go; by faith he sojourned; by faith he received power; by faith he offered up Isaac. Abraham was able to be and to do all that God asked of him only because his entire life was driven and empowered by faith.

Kentucky Derby Club
In the beginning of each semester our club does a planning meeting to plan all of our clubs. One of the keys to quality brainstorming is to not rule out an ideas (initially). We vote and then I add some input to make a final call. So, when we had our planning meeting in January and "Kentucky Derby Club" was suggested by one of our awesome junior leaders I wrote it on the white board and moved on. Then they votes and, to my surprise it had a lot of votes. I tried to suggest I didn't think it would produce a lot of excitement among students and was pretty random, at least for our community.

International Firearms Ownership and Homicides
One thought on "International-Firearms-Ownership-and-Homicides"
I made that precise argument (more guns in US and far less per-capita firearm-related murders) in two "letters to the editor" to the largest newspaper in our state – both of which were published.
I received a ridiculous amount of criticism from anti-gun proponents, accusing me of a range of sins, from "contriving" numbers to outright lying.

Good! Hold off on the Next "New iPad" and focus on the iPad Mini! Im hoping it has retina display..still hard to believe if the rumored price point sticks. I just don't see how they will sell it for $199 with retina but im hoping. I won't buy it if Apple is planning on using 3GS technology. Fingers crossed for a nice mini tab!
If this is $199 then that's the same price of iPod touch 4g. If it includes retina display and the A5 processor then iPad mini it is!
I really don't expect a HD Retina (iPad 3rd gen) display on the rumored Mini, since the ppi ratio wouldn't be the same. It could be a retina (iPhone 4/S) ppi ratio display with an iPad 2nd gen resolution. That is likely given the display situation with Android tablets of the same display size.
$299.99 retina iPad mini. Fits perfect. iPod 199.99. iPad $499.99. It makes logistical sense. They're surely not going to make it the same price as an iPod touch. They're not going to try to compete with themselves that's for sure, and they won't mark down an iPod touch given their popularity among teenagers and adults alike. A $299.99 price fits perfect, I can hear the ads now"get into iPad for less than $300.

I finally went for my second run of the new year this morning. When I first woke up, I didn't think that I was ready yet. I still felt congested, my throat was a little sore, and I still felt kind of crummy. But, one look at Penny convinced me to at least try. She loves to run so much and I have felt like I've been disappointing her all week long. My dogs inspire me on those days I have a hard time getting going (so much so that I wrote a post about "Running Like a Dog").
After 10 days of being sick it felt great to get out. Alan (who has also been sick) and I took four of our dogs for a two mile run. I felt so good after that I took Penny out for another two. I was pretty surprised but happy to feel just fine, no breathing problems or anything (except a lot of snot rockets ;-)).
On that note, let's discuss this recipe. This is one my versions (maybe the best) of the Greek Gyro Bowl from Native Foods. I decided to roast the seitan and vegetables for a variation and it was delicious (and really fast!). The sauce is simply hummus thinned with lemon juice to a creamy texture. If you want to make your own hummus, here is a recipe.
- 1 package seitan, cubed
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cauliflower, broken into medium flowerlets
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 lemons
- Cooking spray
- 4 ounces hummus, thinned to a creamy consistency with lemon juice
- 1 cup quinoa, prepared according to package directions
- ½ cup cucumber, chopped
- ¼ cup onion, chopped
- ½ cup tomato, chopped
- Pita Bread
- Hummus
- Preheat oven to 425
- Thin the hummus with lemon juice until it is creamy, but thin enough to pour. Bring the hummus to room temperature (30 seconds in the microwave is one way).
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking oil.
- Combine garam masala, paprika, and salt.
- In a bowl, combine the seitan and vegetables. Squeeze the juice of one lemon on the mixture, then sprinkle the spices on top. Stir to mix evenly.
- Spread in one layer on the cookie sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes, turning once about half way through.
- In two individual serving bowls, scoop ½ cup of quinoa, half of the roasted seitan and vegetables. Drizzle half of the hummus mixture on each.
- Top with chopped onions, cucumbers and tomatoes.
- Serve with pita bread and additional hummus.
Believe it or not, my husband, who hates cooked cauliflower, cleaned his bowl. I'd say this recipe is a winner!
