(Former UC Offensive Line coach Larry Zierlein/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
It's not unusual to see familiar faces from days gone by at UC practices. Particularly with Butch Jones emphasizing "family" in his current regime. Everyone granted access to the field during practice is considered "family" as the recruit credentials say as much.
Media credentials don't say that, but that's understood, it's kind of part of the territory.
Then, there's some that are recognized and accounted for, but don't necessarily need credentials. These would be coaches, scouts that stand out. One of those dropped by the other day and it was delightful to see him.
Covering the team on the radio crew for years allowed me close access to players, coaches and gave me great insights on the UC football program. I was privileged to know most UC coaches well, most of the players and a lot of the parents and and followers. So, when I saw the familiar white hair of former offensive line coach Larry Zierlein, I was glad to see him back at "The Nipp". It had been awhile.
"My last year of coaching here was 2000," said Zierlein after a hearty grin and handshake. "I really haven't been back since--I think that spring after I left I came back to watch a spring training practice. Outside of coming down for the offensive line clinic, this is really the first time I've been back."
Like many UC coaches in his era, he went on to bigger and better things. Larry Zierlein coached in the NFL for the Browns, Bills and Steelers. However, as life often becomes a business, just one year after a Super Bowl title in Pittsburgh, he was released as the line coach of the Steelers.
I've said it before and I'll say it again (and for now I'm living it) sometimes bad things happen to good people. Coach Zierlein is just another example of that (for now) and to me it appears he still has a hunger and a gleem in his eye to be on a gridiron somewhere.
"I wanted to come out and just watch a little spring practice," Zierlein said. "I'm going to determine in a year from now--I'm at retirement age now--I'm going to determine if I want to keep doing it or just head to Texas hill country. My son's a head coach down there. He might let me help him out, or he might not. Then, I have another son down there who has a radio sports talk show. We're going to decide in about a year from now if we're going to keep doing it or not."
My guess is whether it's the pros, college or "Friday Night Lights" in Texas, Larry Zierlein will be around some football. He's one of a number of good offensive line coaches in that era of Bearcat football (with more of a run emphasis) that is well known in coaching circles (Bob Wylie--coached in NFL and Syracuse, Stacy Searles--LSU,Auburn, Steve Shankweiler--here, East Carolina and there's probably guys and or places I've left out).
Tack that on to the numerous coaches at other positions who moved up, including the three current NFL coaches (Mike Tomlin--former DB coach, now HC of the Steelers, John Harbaugh--special teams--now HC of the Ravens, and Rex Ryan--former DC--now HC of the Jets) and you've got quite a "Coach's Cradle" in Corryville.
"Yeah, I don't know how many it is," said Zierlein. "You know, Rick Minter used to get criticized a lot for staff turnover. But he was meticulous in his hiring. He would go the extra mile before he hired a guy. We had good coaches on this staff. A lot of guys have gone onto what at that time were better jobs--although as UC has progressed I don't think that some of these jobs that we might have left for at that time can be considered better than what it is here. Rick hired good guys. Everybody that I coached with--we all liked coaching here. We all liked working with Rick."
For those that have heard comments to the contrary about Minter, Rex Ryan pretty much told me the same thing a year ago. Again, I maintain someone should have given him a crack as a pro personnel guy because he did know coaching and athletic talent. He also assembled a pretty good cast of characters for Larry Zierlein to work with in the late 90s.
"You know, it seems like there's has been quite a few," said Zierlein. "We've always had good offensive linemen to work with. When I was here, we had a great group of kids here led by Doug Rosfeld who's coaching out at Moeller now. Teddy Forrest is out there with him. We had a lot of local kids at that time, I think four out of my five starters in the late 90s were all Cincinnati or Kentucky kids--Kurt Doolin, Andy Weinheimer--I don't want to leave out anybody. We had a lot of local kids and they were good players."
Those lineman blocked for Orlando Smith, Landon Smith and Darryl Royal in the Humanitarian Bowl in '97, for Robert Cooper as UC upset #9 Wisconsin and Ron Dayne in '99 and for the "Mack and Jack" attack of DeMarcus McCleskey and Ray Jackson in 2000 that went to the Motor City Bowl. Many of those "road graters" went onto the NFL or other careers in football, with Jason Fabini probably being the most recognizable "pro talent".
"Yeah, Fabini," started Zierlein. "Fabini would probably be the best and he played in the NFL for a long time. Joel Dolinski was a good player, he's a head coach at Seton Hill over in Greensburg, Pennsyvlania. Then that group I had in '99-2000, I forget the years now, Rosfeld, Doolin, Weinheimer, "Ghost" (Josh Gardner) they were good."
Having left UC for the pros himself, Zierlein found line-coaching at that level at little different. Sure, talent is superior, but the business aspect of the game comes into play and often affects coaches that are left to "assemble parts".
"Sometimes you get a guy that comes in during the year and a week or two later he's starting for you," said Zierlein. "Your techniques and your slickness, I don't think in that league that the techniques are as good as they are in college because you have such constant turnover."
An astute observation by Zierlein, who to me, sounds like a guy that misses the college game and still has a fire burning to "light a fire" under some burly youngsters. When he coached here, attendance could often hover around 15,000. He talked to me about the Wisconsin game in '99, where attendance might have been in the 20s, but students were rushing in late as word got out that UC was winning.
Like many that have returned and seen the facilities that have blossomed since they left, Zierlein was in awe. He spent a lot of time just trying to figure out where his office used to be in the old Shoemaker Center facility. Amazing how a man can spend so many hours in an office and then years later see that it's been transformed into something majestic like the Lindner Center.
"I've been amazed at what the campus looks like now," marveled Zierlein. "The athletic facility is unbelievable."
The building inside is even better thanks to some of the early "blocks" led by the likes of Larry Zierlein and others.

Main Street's Saturday Market shoppers have grown to love Wild Flours handmade breads and fresh-ground grains so much, the local bakery is opening a storefront in downtown Murfreesboro.
Kathrine Wehrung, who owns the business and bakes breads with her husband, Landon, said Wild Flours will open the doors this week at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The bakery is located behind the original Gold's Gym building across from Murfreesboro Police Department on South Church Street, just off the Square.
Wild Flours got its start just before the Saturday Market launched in 2010. The baked breads have become so popular that the Wehrungs would have to bake three days in advance just to meet demand.
"And most of our customers would really like to buy bread during the week," Kathrine Wehrung said. "It's nice for people to be able to get stuff fresh whenever they want."
Not only is Wild Flours a bakery, but the shop offers 24 kinds of whole grains -- all certified organic and non-GMO (or genetically modified organism) -- available to be ground fresh for at-home bakers.
"The reason we believe in grinding them fresh is because it's actually good for your body," she explained. "All of the grains already ground up in stores are dead grains. There's nothing in them that is good for you; they can harm your body over time."
When grinding fresh grains, consumers are getting all-natural nutrients, no manmade vitamins that can be hard on the body.
"Every ingredient we use in our store is 100 percent natural, almost everything is certified organic and all of the grains are non-GMO," Wehrung said.
Wild Flours will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 7 a.m. until noon on Saturday.
For additional information, visit Wild Flours' Facebook page or visit www.wildflours.org.

Nissan Frontier heads to Canton
Last week marked the final Frontier for Nissan's highly acclaimed mid-size pickup, the company announced.
Since its introduction in 1983 – affectionately known simply as "Job One" – more than one million Nissan Frontiers have been assembled at the Smyrna Assembly Plant.
According to a press release, workers are sad to see their prized truck leave for its new home in Canton, Miss., but the move allows Nissan to increase capacity for other products (LEAF, Pathfinder, Rogue) as the automaker moves toward its goal of 8 percent global market share. Production of Nissan's 5-passenger SUV, the Xterra, will also move to Canton.

Let me say right up front that for most of the country — certainly the northern half, anyway — the dead of winter isn't the best time for flipping and pitching a bait. It's just too darn cold.
The extreme temperatures force the fish to drop down into a deeper zone. That makes things tough. Add to that the clear water that's usually associated with winter, along with a lack of heavy cover, and you have a one-two knockout punch for most of your flipping and pitching. If you're in those areas, however, all is not lost.
You can still pick up a few bass flipping or pitching a green pumpkin and brown jig around boat docks and channel swings if that's your thing.
This approach is especially effective if the weather has been stable for a few days. (Stable doesn't mean warm. It means not changing.) If you can fish the South, the situation changes for the better, and quickly. Find a lake with lots of heavy cover and work it over thoroughly.
Remember, though, that it's still winter. The water temperature has dropped a bunch from what it was earlier in the year. That means you have to slow down. Fish at this time of the year are very location specific. I fish the heaviest, shallow cover I can find or any cover adjacent to deep water.
Pay particular attention to areas that have a vertical aspect to them. Normally, they're the most reliable. Not all of your places will produce. Bass tend to bunch up when the water gets cold. You'll have to cover water to find them, but at the same time slow down your presentation so you can make them bite.
That's not easy. I wish I could give you a quick and easy way to do both of those things at the same time. I can't. It's a struggle, and it's painful. No matter, it's what you'll have to learn to do if you expect to catch winter bass flipping and pitching. There's just no other way. On the positive side, when you do find them you're in for a real treat. You can catch a boatload of them. When you get your first bite, try to repeat everything you did with each subsequent flip or pitch. Shift into a lower gear.
Take every piece of cover apart from every angle you can imagine. Your best bait for this will likely be a Strike King, 1/2-ounce Denny Brauer Premier Pro-Model Jig in green pumpkin brown or green pumpkin craw. Occasionally black and blue will work, but I only use it if I'm not getting bites on the other colors.
The water's very clear at this time of the year, so you want to stay natural. If the cover is especially heavy or you're fishing thick mats, you might switch baits to something that'll punch through the mess a little easier. I'll go with a 1-ounce sinker and a Strike King Perfect Plastic Rodent or Baby Rodent. Oftentimes that'll work more efficiently for me. Regardless of what lure I'm using, though, I always spool my reels with Seaguar fluorocarbon line in the winter. You want something tough, reliable and perfectly clear. I have no intention of losing a good fish because I was using a cheap, off-brand line. In Lesson 15, we'll catch some serious weight flipping and pitching the prespawn.

During this year's NAB show, Jon Miller of Hive Lighting stopped by our booth to tell me about the new BEE light, and he recently brought it by the LA office to give us a closer look. The BEE is a flood light that uses Hive's proven plasma technology. The benefits of plasma lighting include high output, low power consumption and low heat. One the most interesting features of this light is the Daylight Dial, which allows a fully tunable color temperature from 4600K – 7000K, as well as the ability to shift to a deep blue moonlight.
The BEE ships with several power supply options, and one power supply can power multiple BEE units. This makes the fixture great for traveling and run'n'gun type situations.
Watch my video above to learn even more about the new BEE from Hive Lighting and to see some of the demo footage Jon and I shot using the Phantom Flex4K.

|I'm not sure if the other schools rent out a day sailor for as low a price but it seems like a really great way to get time on the water. Also, I've been reading the Annapolis book of Seamanship. A really good read, as it turns out.
Re: Hello from Venice, CA
I started the same way. Thirty years ago there was a club in MDR called Calypso. I took their 4 lesson course and was then able to rent boats for the day. I started with 27 footers and worked up to 30 footers. Then I bought a Catalina 30 which led to a Catalina 36. I think renting is a great way to build your skills.
Re: Hello from Venice, CA
Welcome to sailnet.
I suggest you post your questions in the general discussion section. There is much more activity over there.
Hello from Venice, CA
Just thought I'd jump in here and say hello. After sailing occasionally throughout the years, and being in the sailing club in high school (I'm 38 now), I recently decided that sailing is something I have to do. I'm drawn to the water, do a lot of surfing and love the ocean. I knew I'd get into it at some point, and now seems to be a good time.
I know the basics of sailing, but it's just the basics (I can take a Capri 14 out and be fine). I'm thinking of taking the ASA 101 and 103 class at one of the schools here in Marina Del Rey. There also seems to be a couple of coops here too that are more affordable. Definitely want to crew on other people's boats. Eventually would love to get a ~30' boat with my girlfriend (who also wants to learn) and cruise up and down the coast. And then maybe way off into the future do a crossing to Hawaii. But that's a super long term goal. For now I just want to get out on the water.
There are 3 major schools here, I think. The one I'm thinking of enrolling in has a couple of day sailor 25' boats that members can take out any time for a $28 fee. Sounds like a great way to get lots of affordable time on the water after I get certified. Of course, there are initiation and membership fees.
Any views on all of this from this forum would be helpful. Thanks.

heat equation through different media/problem with constant flux at
Dear All,
I am trying to solve the heat conduction problem in a sequence of
three media with different properties. For that I am using NDSolve
with my own grid. The code (without the 'tedious' definition of the
time dependent boundary conditions) is:
\!\(NDSolve[{$B"_(B\_t u[x,
t] == alfa[x]*$B"_(B\_{x, 2}u[x, t], u[
x, 0] == TavSInt[0] + \(TavRInt[0] - TavSInt[0]\)\/L*
x, u[0, t] == TavSInt[
t], \([L, t]\) == TavRInt[
t]}, u, {x, 0, L}, {t, 0, tmax}, MaxSteps -> 50000, Method -
> \
{"\<MethodOfLines\>", \ "\<SpatialDiscretization\>" -> {\ \
"\<TensorProductGrid\>", "\<Coordinates\>" -> {mygrid}}}]\)
However, i still do not get a satisfactory result. Probably because I
am not including the condition that at the interface between two media
the heat flux is constant. How can I do this?

In his review of how Britain responds to humanitarian disasters, Lord Ashdown highlighted a familiar failing among aid agencies: how they sometimes seem to be trying to advance their own agendas rather than concentrating on the needs of the people they are trying to help.
Others have accused aid agencies of "jostling for position" and putting their own interests above those of the victims, as the Lancet said in a caustic editorial on the humanitarian response to the Haiti earthquake. Nicholas van Praag, writing on the Poverty Matters blog, chided relief groups for running aid programmes without gauging how beneficiaries feel about them, ignoring the simplest test of client satisfaction. So it is timely that Thursday sees the launch of new standards for the humanitarian sector to improve its response to armed conflict and disasters.
The latest Sphere handbook, considered the blueprint for aid work, includes a fresh chapter on "protection principles" that urges organisations to consider the wider impact of their actions.
The first principle is: avoid exposing people to further harm as a result of your actions. Dr Unni Krishnan, disaster response policy co-ordinator for Plan International, and a member of the Sphere board, cites the example of the floods in Bihar in 2008 that affected more than 1.4 million people. The floods were not the result of monsoon rains but of a breach in embankments that had been built by the government to protect people.
"This disaster demonstrates that 'good intention' alone is not good enough," said Krishnan. "Participation and ownership of communities, especially the most vulnerable, like children, are key in development and humanitarian response."
Or as the handbook asks: "What might be the unintended negative consequences of our activities for people's security, and how can we avoid or minimise these consequences?"
The second principle is: ensure people's access to impartial assistance – in proportion to need and without discrimination. It's a fine principle, but sometimes hard to uphold in a situation of armed conflict, as a member of the Sphere board noted.
"In Ivory Coast, the UN has appeared to take sides in the conflict," said Ed Schenkenberg van Mierop, executive director of the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA). "Local NGOs that were supposed to distribute aid to areas held by Gbagbo's forces on behalf of the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, were forced to return the aid to the organisation. Now too few impartial and independent humanitarian agencies are present on the ground in Ivory Coast."
The third principle is: protect people from physical and psychological harm arising from violence and coercion. This is even more problematical as humanitarian agencies are simply not equipped for this role and have to rely on the authorities. But as the recent case of mass rapes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo underlines, those authorities – the UN in this case – can be found wanting.
The fourth principle is: assist people to claim their rights, access available remedies and recover from the effects of abuse. There are some useful tips such as organising group activities for children in schools, something that is being done in Liberia for Ivorian refugees.
There will be many practical difficulties in implementing these four core protection principles, but they provide a useful reminder for humanitarian agencies to focus on what is important and on the people they are trying to help – and to do so in an appropriate way.
"People in disasters have basic needs like food and water, but aid work is not as simple as service delivery," said Marie Staunton, chief executive of Plan UK. "Humanitarian workers also have a wider responsibility for the human rights of the people they are meant to be helping – such as their right to freedom of movement and their right to a healthy environment. These rights could be limited or violated by the relief they receive, if it is delivered in an inappropriate way."
Or as Krishnan put it: "Relief and rights should go hand in hand. They complement each other."

- The project will be managed by a joint management team assembled by both companies. Work is due to start on the project immediately, with plans to enlarge both the Laxey and Sonneman tunnels to obtain a large metallurgical sample and conduct underground core drilling. This work will yield the necessary information for an economic mine model that includes the nine, known, high-grade mineralized zones to aid in the development of a mining plan. It is estimated that the project will initially be a 400-ton-per-day underground operation that will produce multiple concentrates for sale to a smelter.
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Thunder Mountain Gold, Inc. (the Company) (TSX-V: THM; OTCQB: THMG), is pleased to announce that it finalized the previously announced Joint Venture (JV) Agreement with ISR Capital, a Boise, Idaho based private equity group. The JV, called Owyhee Gold Trust LLC, will immediately begin advancing the exploration and development of the Company`s South Mountain Mine. ISR Capital can earn up to 75% participating interest in the project with an investment of $18 million. Terms of the Agreement include a buy-in cash payment of $1 million to Thunder Mountain Gold, and a work commitment of $2 million no later than the end of 2013 to earn a 25% interest in the Project.

I would keep it. Old 70's american iron isnt that common anymore, and I bet you will see even basic cars like this increase in value in the next few years. As long as you have the space for it, right now, I would get it, get it running, and at least do a good cleaning to see what you're up against. While tons of these were made, I bet at least 95% of them have been scrapped by now.
As of late 2012:
May end up taking the tarp from the GT wagon since it's too small and transferring it to the Caprice.
2 of our other cars:
Here is a thread that will help you differentiate which vehicle they came on:
Definately keep it. My dad had a '71 Caprice 2 door, 400 small block, was my grandfathers. I was hoping someday to get it, but he sold it a couple of years ago.
The curved rear window is cool. My dads had a mild 400 in it. Go to a Chevy or even a Classic American car show and you will probably be the only one driving one. You might see early '60s Impalas, but NEVER the 69-72-ish years.
2004 Passat 4Mo, 1.8T, stick
past: '96 Audi S6, forced to sell, F. U. nh emissions
'87 VW Quantum syncro wagon, got me into quattro
'85 VW GTI , 17 yrs and 280k miles, rusted away
Clean it up, paint it white again or all black, swap in a 500ci Cadillac motor and a th400 and I'd rock the hell out of it and be okay with the fact it'll never be worth Camaro/Chevelle money. Or, put a manifold, carb and distributor in it and derby it till it dies then scrap. You don't see them restored because you don't find many folks that go "Man I've always wanted a '70 Caprice!"
It may be slow, but at least it's ugly!
I'm keeping it. My plan is to get rid of all the rust and leave it. Not sure if I'm going to get rid of the dent in the passenger door to keep its "character". Going to vacuum the interior, replace the headliner and seats, get the gauges working right, and then lower it with rally wheels with no centers.

The Civil Rights movement was about more than justice and equality for African Americans, it also was about economic opportunity. This story looks at the economic impact of the movement on three Georgians. Felder Daniels owns and works a 101 acre farm near Americus. The farm was passed to him from his sharecropper parents who saved enough money for its purchase. They were the first black family in Sumter County to own land. Both Daniels and Doug Bachtel, a demographer at the University of Georgia, talk about the necessity of getting bank credit to buy seed and fertilizer and how difficult it was for blacks to get a bank to lend them money. Daniels talks about the importance of doing something for yourself and his promise to his mother keep the farm in the family. Tena Butler attended segregated schools in Savannah. She knew everything was different for African Americans, but it was accepted as the norm. When she was older, she joined the NAACP and began to protest against segregated businesses. She helped integrate Tybee Island. To earn a living, she worked as a cashier in the segregated cafeteria at the Union Bag Mill. When her white co-workers threatened to stop eating there if she did not stop picketing, she had to choose between her principles or her job. She found another job and continued to do what she believed in. Lillie Rosser, a former housecleaner and now an assistant pastor at an Atlanta church, explains how she made it. Her story is one of determination and of a dream to own a brick house. She worked several jobs and always kept her dignity while living in a segregated society. She now owns her brick house and believes a person can do anything if he or she tries.
Teacher tip: Give students a list of Georgia's character education traits and ask them to choose one of the Georgians in the film and write a paragraph describing how that person exhibits two or more traits.

Before Barack Obama said anything today about his second Glass-Steagall, the story was evident from who stood next to him, and who was banished down the row of public officials.
To President Obama's right was "this tall guy", the 6′ 7″ Paul Volcker, who has until today been a lone voice in his administration calling for structural reform on Wall Street. Further along was Tim Geithner, the Treasury secretary, who has until now resisted it in favour of tighter regulation. Read more

The feel good story of the holiday season has taken a new and depressing turn.
Late last week, the story of a New York City police officer buying a new, $100 pair of shoes for a barefoot homeless man warmed the hearts of everyone with an Internet connection. Or so it seemed, given the story's online popularity.
While the officer has been lauded by the media and has been praised by the city's Police Commissioner, the identity of the homeless man he helped remained a mystery, until now.
A reporter for The New York Times was able to find the man, whose name is Jeffrey Hillman, and who is still walking the streets barefoot.
"Those shoes are hidden. They are worth a lot of money," Hillman told the reporter. "I could lose my life."
Hillman, 54, who hails from New Jersey, said he moved to New York almost a decade ago and has been homeless for most of that time.
The experience of being at the centre of an international story that was triggered by a tourist snapping a photo of officer Lawrence DePrimo giving Hillman a new pair of shoes and socks has clearly left Hillman feeling like he deserves more than he has so far received.
"I was put on YouTube, I was put on everything without permission. What do I get?" he said. "This went around the world, and I want a piece of the pie."
But he also said he was very grateful for DePrimo's generosity.
"I appreciate what the officer did, don't get me wrong," he said. "I wish there were more people like him in the world."
Later in the interview, he added, ""I want to thank everyone that got onto this thing. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. It meant a lot to me. And to the officer, first and foremost."
A U.S. Army veteran, Hillman would not discuss with the newspaper how he became homeless.Report Typo/Error

The stamp of
approval that shows conformance to a standard could be a potent marketing tool
for manufacturers of equipment.
The convener of
the group Arve Meisingset of Telenor R&D in Norway, and Vice Chairman
of Study Group 17 said: "There are
many possibilities, from maintaining the status quo in which third parties can
test for conformance without a complete set of ITU testing standards to the
setting-up of actual testing labs based on ITU guidelines and standards. We
will look at the pros and cons of all possibilities; examine what is
appropriate for ITU to do, and what members want."
Currently, while
there are procedures in some Recommendations, there is no systematic approach
to testing implementations of ITU-T Recommendations for conformance
or interoperability. And, so initial steps will probably be along the lines of
producing guidelines for protocol writers and users of those protocols, and
examining how ITU can produce a more complete set of
testing standards to help the testing community and product
suppliers deliver better standards-based products.
Existing ITU-T
applicable specifications include the 7-part X.290-series Recommendations that
covers generic aspects of conformance testing. In addition, SG 17 is
standardizing a testing methodology and framework for interoperability testing.
SG 17 will write the guidelines and generic testing
methodology standards while SG 11 will write
protocol-specific testing standards. Other study groups have also developed
specific methodologies for particular Recommendations. For example, Study Group 16 has
developed a conformance testing specification for the video compression codec
Experts agreed
that future work will benefit from the more systematic method that could result
from this activity.
In conformance
testing, the objective is to determine how completely and correctly the
requirements of the standard have been met by the implementation. In
interoperability testing, the objective is to determine if two or more
implementations of the same standard interoperate with each other. In the
telecommunication world, it is generally assumed that the implementations have
been tested for conformance prior to interoperability testing.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Wednesday, September 3), the addition of transfer 6-foot-8 guard/forward Duncan Robinson (New Castle, N.H./Philips Exeter Academy). Robinson, who will sit out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules, comes to Ann Arbor after playing one season at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.
"We feel very fortunate to add Duncan to our program at this time," said Beilein. "We love his ability to play multiple positions while also stretching defenses with his three-point shooting. Duncan is a great fit for the University and our basketball program. It is going to be a pleasure to watch his game and his body develop in the years ahead."
"This was an opportunity I just could not pass on," said Robinson. "I have a lot of work to do both academically and athletically, however, Coach Beilein, the staff and the players have been incredibly welcoming and that has made the whole process much easier for me and my family. I am excited for what the future holds. It has been a really exciting transition and I can't wait to help this program in any way that I can."
Last season, Robinson played under former Beilein assistant Mike Maker at Williams College, who left to become the head coach at Marist College. Robinson started 31 of 32 games and led the Eph's to a 28-5 overall record and runner-up finish at the NCAA Division III Tournament. He was named an All-America, fourth team, Rookie of the Year and All-Northeast Region, third team by D3Hoops.com.
He averaged 17.1 points, scoring 548 total points becoming the first Williams freshman to ever score 500-plus points in a season. He posted 29 double figures scoring games and had 11 20-plus point games, including a career-best 30 points vs. Amherst (March 21) in the national semifinal game. He recorded five double-doubles and shot 55.7 percent from the field. He also shot 45.6 percent (81-for-179) from three-point range and made a career-best seven three-point field goals against Bowdoin (Jan. 17).
Prior to Williams, Robinson prepped a year at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., where he was a 2013 New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class A All-League first team selection. He guided Philips Exeter to a 28-1 overall record, including a closing 18-game winning streak, and the school's first ever NEPSAC Class A title. Robinson scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds in the title game earning MVP honors.

A programming model and performance model for cycle stealing
Sumitomo, Jiro (2006) A programming model and performance model for cycle stealing. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Jiro Sumitomo (PDF 2MB)
This work describes a programming model and performance model for cycle stealing on the Internet.
Cycle stealing is the use of otherwise idle computers to perform work, and promises high performance computing at relatively low cost. The Internet, being the largest pool of potentially idle computers, is an obvious target for cycle stealing. However, computers connected to the Internet are often protected by firewalls, preventing point-to-point communication between them. The fluctuating avail-ability of computers for cycle stealing as they move in and out of an idle state, combined with the restricted communication of the Internet environment, means that programming models and abstractions suitable for programming supercom-puters and clusters are not ideal. Therefore, I have created a programming model for cycle stealing which reflects the types of parallel applications that are suitable for execution using idle computers connected to the Internet. The model is de-signed for use by non-expert parallel programmers, and I will show how it simpli-fies the development of cycle stealing applications, enabling rapid application de-velopment, and straightforward porting of existing sequential applications. This simple to use programming model, combined with the low cost of cycle stealing, improves the accessibility of high performance computing to non-traditional us-ers of supercomputers and clusters.
Deployment on the Internet, and the need to navigate through firewalls, suggests a web based framework using common web protocols, web servers and web browsers. Part of this work investigates the feasibility of web based approaches to cycle stealing, from the setup of a cycle stealing system, application development and deployment, and connection of potentially idle computers. I designed and implemented a cycle stealing framework, deployable on the web, to meet expec-tations of performance, reliability, ease of use and safety.
Existing cycle stealing frameworks emphasise the need for applications to be de-composed into a set of jobs that execute for a long period, that is, a job should have a computation time sufficient to justify its communication cost. However, there are no tools available for users to determine what an appropriate computa-tion time might be, given a job's data communication requirements. To date, de-ciding the granularity of jobs has been a matter of intuition. Therefore, a user may experience uncertainty as to the benefit of cycle stealing for their particular application, especially if the applications will have relatively short-lived jobs. Based on performance analysis of my framework, I have developed an analytical model and simulator, which can be used to predict, and help to optimise, the per-formance of user applications, and show the feasibility of executing a particular application using the cycle stealing framework.

Quick GuideUnderstanding Cancer: Metastasis, Stages of Cancer, and More
What growths is PDT not good for?
PDT is not as effective for thick actinic keratoses due to the inability of the photosensitizer drug to penetrate into the depths of the lesion. These growths may need to be destroyed using some other technique.
What are possible complications or side effects of photodynamic therapy?
Overall, most patients tolerate the minor procedure very well without any complications. However, PDT is associated with some possible minor risks and complications. Since an exaggerated light-sensitive reaction is expected by definition of PDT, most patients understand and expect some type of a sunburn or red reaction after skin PDT. Not everyone gets a sunburn reaction, however. Some patients may have no visible reaction or redness.
Possible risks and complications of photodynamic therapy include burning of the treated area, skin discoloration, skin redness, prominent tiny blood vessels (telangiectasia), pain, infection, cold-sore activation, blisters, scabs, unsightly scars, cosmetic disfigurement, skin discoloration, eye injury or swelling, allergic reactions, prolonged sun sensitivity, and reaction to topical anesthesia.
Minor, serious, or life-threatening reactions can occur with the use of anesthetics or with medications given before, after, or during a procedure.
Is there scarring from photodynamic therapy?
No, PDT usually does not leave scars in typical cases. Overall when you undergo PDT, there will be some type of a red skin reaction and irritation for three to 10 days after the treatment. Some people are more sensitive to PDT and the light treatment than others. Similarly, some people heal better or faster than others. Some residual redness may be more noticeable depending on the location and skin type. Some people may have temporary skin discoloration that may last weeks to months. Patients with darker skin types may have more skin discoloration after treatment.

3. Which factor below helps species avoid extinction?
A. Low reproductive rates
B. high economic importance
C. limited habitats in which to live
D. able to adapt to changes in their habitat
I think its D.
4. If there continues to be a loss in biodiversity in plants and animals, which prediction would be correct?
A. There would be a change in climate and weather.
B. There would be a change in animal interactions and populations.
C. There would be an increase in animal species
D. Both A and B
I think its D.
I agree that 3D is correct
For #4, why would animal biodiversity affect weather and climate? I'd have chosen just B.
3D is definatly correct. As for 4, I would choose B because populations would decrease and limit interaction between organisms. A is not correct because though a change in climate and weather could cause a loss in biodiversity, a loss in biodiversity can not change he weather. C is not the correct answer to this question but it is theoretically possible. As biodiversity decreases some animals have been known to change drastically in a short time to cope with the changes. For example: the komodo dragon populations in Indonesia have been falling fairly quickly in recent years due to global warming. It was found that female komodo's were still producing eggs without the presence of males in the area. This change happened in a matter of a few months and the komodo dragon populations have been stedially increasing ever since. The females adapted to their environment as fast as possible which has allowed the species to come back from the brink of extinction.

LONDON – Heavyweight political rivals Kenneth Clarke and Peter Mandelson will join forces to lobby for Britain to stay in the EU as David Cameron prepares to reveal his position, the Observer newspaper reported Sunday.
The pair will fight calls — particularly from the right wing of Cameron and Clarke's Conservative Party — for Britain to cut its links to the Union.
Liberal Democrat peer Chris Rennard will join Clarke and Labour grandee Mandelson in fronting the Center for British Influence through Europe (CBIE). It will champion a cross-party "patriotic fightback for British leadership in Europe."
The organization will be launched at the end of the month, according to the report.
CBIE Director Peter Wilding said he hoped for a mature debate on the bloc's future.
"Both Mandelson and Rennard are closely involved in our policy and campaign strategy," he told the Observer.
"Having them with Ken Clarke on one platform, we think, says something in itself about the need for grown-up, consensual politics on Europe. We would argue — and many in the Tory party would agree — that disengagement from Europe is profoundly contrary to Britain's national interests."
The revelation came shortly after it was reported that an influential group of Euroskeptic Tory lawmakers were pushing for Cameron to take a more extreme stance on Britain's relationship with Europe.
According to details leaked in the Sunday Telegraph, lawmakers from the Fresh Start group will demand that Britain ignore its treaty obligations unless its relationship with the EU is radically altered. Downing Street has said Cameron will give his long-awaited speech on Europe in mid-January.
Cameron is under intense pressure from Euroskeptic members of his party, including London Mayor Boris Johnson, who called in a speech last month for a purely trade-based relationship with Brussels. But Cameron's plans have raised concerns among business leaders, who wrote him an open letter warning that a renegotiation of membership risked an exit from Europe, with "damaging" consequences for the economy.
The impending speech has intensified both sides of the debate, drawing out high-profile criticism of the prime minister.

Target: Santa Ana District Attorney, Tony Rackauckas
Goal: Charge Ray Haines with animal cruelty after poisoning dogs with toxic drain cleaner.
A California man still faces no animal cruelty charges after fatally poisoning a neighbor's dog more than three months ago. Ray Haines left a mixture of dog food and toxic drain cleaner eight feet from the neighbor's yard where he knew dogs were present. Please sign this petition and urge the District Attorney to file animal cruelty charges against Haines.
Marc Schroeder's dog, Diablito, suffered convulsions and died after reportedly eating a mixture of dog food and drain cleaner from a neighbor's yard. Schroeder, Diablito and Atlas, a friend's 135-pound German Shepherd, were chatting with his neighbor, Ray Haines two days before both dogs suffered convulsions and Diablito's death. While the neighbors were visiting, Haines watched as both dogs entered his yard and he did not warn of any poison. Both dogs were sickened and suffered convulsions. While a veterinarian was able to save Atlas, eight-pound Diablito sadly died.
Haines says the poison was intended for opossums that had been causing him problems in his garden. According to City Manager George Scarborough, it is a violation of California law to poison wildlife and domestic animals.
Please sign this petition and urge the District Attorney to file animal cruelty charges against Ray Haines for poisoning and killing his neighbor's dog.
Dear Mr. Rackauckas,
Three months ago, Marc Schroeder's dog Diablito died after eating dog food laced with poison in his neighbor's yard. Ray Haines had left the poisonous food out to kill opossums bothering his garden. Despite seeing the dogs in his yard, Haines did not stop the dogs or mention the poison to Schroeder. Shockingly, three months later Haines has not faced any charges, despite the fact that poisoning any animal, domestic or wild, is against California state law.
Diablito was not the only dog affected by Haines' poisonous trap. Atlas, a 135-pound German Shepherd, also suffered convulsions but was able to pull through with the help of a veterinarian. Haines must face charges for his careless attempt to deal with the wildlife in his close-knit community.
Please file animal cruelty charges against Haines for breaking California state law, poisoning two dogs, and killing one. Three months is a very long time for the case to be delayed considering the insurmountable evidence against Haines and his admission of guilt. It is time that the Schroeder family gets justice for Diablito, and Haines must be punished for the careless murder of wildlife and a beloved pet.
