The Last three tournaments held have been in summer patterns, and the dead fish penalty's become more and more of a factor. The reason this happens is the water temperatures get so high that the amount of dissolved oxygen becomes so low that the fish will actually smother in your live well and die. Fish care is something that this time of year I spend a portion of my day doing just that. In years past I did like most guys, I would put some type of fish saver chemical in the live well and just leave the pumps on but that is not enough, you need to do more so you don't get that 8 ounce penalty.
At the Lake Ouachita Tournament this year the water temp reached nearly 90 degrees that week, the first day I made the mistake of letting my co-angler theory of "more is better" and killed several fish in the live wells. He added so much of the fish chemicals, actually using the entire bottle in one day and pouring dry chemical into the fish's mouth that he sedated them to the point that they died. The chemicals are just that – chemicals if you add enough to the water that the water color changes, that is enough a couple cap fulls will last you all day. The most important factor of keeping fish alive in hot weather is to maintain cooler live well temperatures, cooler then the outside air and lake temperatures. Think of it as this – think of your live well as an aquarium, you don't need to change your aquarium water every three hours. The only time I will exchange my live well water is when I get a lot of blood from a deep hooked fish, I will get rid of that water and start with some new water. If there is no bleeding I am going to leave that water in there all day.
In order to cool the water the obvious thing to use is ice, personally instead of using just bagged ice I will freeze one gallon jugs of water, these will last a lot longer then the bags of ice. It is best to maintain a temp around 70 degrees, now to see what your temp is – to see if you have enough ice, you need a thermometer even if it is just a floating one you get at a pet store. In my boat, Lowrance has a temperature probe on the trolling motor and another mounted inside the live well, this way right on the screen I can see just what the water temp is – in the lake and in my live well. I try to keep my live well around 70 degrees, this has so far kept my fish healthy and alive to the weigh in. Also in my boat I have installed one of the oxygenator, this keeps the oxygen level high enough without having to continually add hot lake water.
About a mounth ago the guys from Kool Well installed a Kool Well system in my boat. This makes the job of keeping my fish alive way easier. Under the video section on my website I have a video describing the entire system, be sure to check it out – also you can go to Koolwell.com for more information.
I am not a fan of dead fish penalties or the rule of not being able to cull dead fish because I don't think anglers are intentionally killing fish, some fish just get hooked in the gills and you are just not going to be able to keep those fish alive. Especially when it is legal to go and catch ten or more fish a day and take them home and clean them and eat them, why does the tournament guy get penalized for having one dead fish out of the week. Just last week a guy lost the "formerly Stren" tournament because of a dead fish penalty and I remember when Terry Bolton lost the KY lake tournament because of a dead fish penalty. Luke Clausen finished sixth and did not make the top five at Guntersville because of a dead fish – who I now refer to as "Fish Killer". I really think it is important to keep the fish alive, so we can catch them another day – as a matter of fact I would like to see more stricter rules about creel limits to try to protect bigger fish from the frying pan. So Keeping fish alive for the weigh in is a combination of things, you need to add your chemicals, you need to cool the water and you need add air back in to the water so make sure when your recirculating pump is on that it agitates the surface. Keep this stuff in mind and you hopefully you won't end up like fish killer Luke!
This is starting to be one of the busiest summers for me I have had in a long time, as far as the amount of tournaments I am fishing. I fished the first PAA tournament for 2010 a few weeks ago on Cherokee, it was a really tough event the water temp was 90 and the air temp was 90+. Tommy Biffle from OK won it fishing shallow, but most of what was else was caught were caught 20 feet or deeper. I finished fifth in the event.
Last week I was on Lake Champlain fishing the first Bass Northern Open. Dave Wolak won it with a little over 54 lbs. I finished the tournament in 9th place with 50 lbs 11 ounces. It was a huge turn out there was over 200 boats fishing. I was able to get some great pictures of my day one and two on the water action, be sure to check them out under my photo gallery.
Thanks again for checking out my blog – and keep the comments coming.

Tina van der Vlies MA
Biographical Note
Tina van der Vlies works as a lecturer and PhD candidate at the Centre for Historical Culture, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research project "Historical Scholarship and School History: National Narratives in Dutch and English Textbooks, 1920-2010" is funded by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (2011-2016).
Van der Vlies graduated cum laude in History from the Erasmus University Rotterdam and completed an Honours Degree trajectory as well. Working as a history teacher, she also graduated cum laude in Education from the University of Leiden. Recently, she was awarded with the ISCHE Early Career Paper Award.
Award: ISCHE Early Career Paper Award
Tina van der Vlies has been awarded with the 'ISCHE Early Career Paper Award' at the International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE) in Istanbul in 2015. She received the award for her paper "Multidirectional War Narratives in History Textbooks", presented at the ISCHE Conference "Education, War and Peace" in London in 2014.
Award: Grant to organise symposium 'Rhetoric of the Past'
In 2015, The Royal Netherlands Historical Society (KNHG) invited young historians to write a proposal for their 'ideal symposium'. Laurie Slegtenhorst and I submitted our idea 'Rhetoric of the Past', in order to explore how and why people re-appropriate specific rhetoric from the past in present contexts, such as the 1989 slogan 'Wir sind das Volk' during the recent Pegida demonstrations in Dresden. The rhetorical use of the past can articulate a certain identity and influence historical consciousness. Especially now, in times of cultural diversity, it is important to gain more insight. How and why do people use references to the past? How can we analyse these practices in text and images? And how do people respond as consumers to these practices?
This idea was awarded and the symposium will take place at 22-09-2016. The keynote speaker will be Professor Michael Rothberg from the University of Illinois, who is well-known for his book Multidirectional Memory.
Upcoming events
In June, Van der Vlies will visit the Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories at the University of Brighton. During her stay, she will give a seminar "Metaphor and the resonance of events in historical narration" on June 15, 2016.
In November, Van der Vlies will be a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge. (Host: Professor Catherine Burke.)

Remember that it's not going to scale linearly with the disk space of
the database. That's an important factor since many searches are
bounded by the number of disk accesses. But the searches are more
closely bound to the number of word matches. So if you're doing
searches for very common words, it's bound to take longer since more
matches must be scored.
You said you're running this on a Sun box, so I can't say you should

Doubtless, as she was a very pretty girl, she would be very soon sealed to some ruling elder.
Brewster, (p. 155) the nucleus of the church, became their ruling elder.
It is true, the ruling elder (which was after added) is limited only to one of the keys, viz.
Governor John L. Marye was a ruling elder of this church for more than forty-seven years, giving faithful and efficient service.
He was elected to the office of ruling elder in December, 1879, which he filled till the time he removed to Cedar Rapids.
Jacob Barker, who presided at the meeting held on the 14th May, was a justice of the peace and ruling elder of the church.
Therefore this single text shows the divine right of both the teaching and ruling elder.
He was a zealous Covenanter, and a ruling elder in the parish of Carnbee, in which he resided.
Zebulon Estey was a ruling elder of the Congregational church at Maugerville in 1775.
Mr. Renville, who was a ruling elder in the church, took this position, and the members of the mission were not a unit against it.

Pennsylvania: Keystone Babies
Dec 02, 2011
The Keystone Babies program was created to expand access to high-quality early learning settings for vulnerable infants and toddlers in Pennsylvania. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the voluntary program offers financial support to center-based providers to create additional slots for low-income infants and toddlers in the state\'s child care assistance program, Child Care Works (CCW). Providers must be at the STAR 3 or STAR 4 level in the state\'s quality rating and improvement system (QRIS), Pennsylvania Keystone STARS, to participate in Keystone Babies.
Keystone Babies was launched in the spring of 2010 in response to recommendations by the Pennsylvania Infant-Toddler Systems Committee, a subcommittee of the state\'s early learning advisory council, to promote the healthy growth and development of the state\'s infants and toddlers. The Committee recommended developing a statewide infant/toddler program with a focus on ensuring that the most vulnerable infants and toddlers received high-quality early learning services. At the time of Keystone Babies launch, more than a third of the state\'s infants and toddlers were exposed to multiple developmental risk factors. Yet, less than one-fifth participated in quality early childhood programs, such as Early Head Start and Keystone STARS.
Identifying Infants and Toddlers with Developmental Risks
The Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) conducts an annual Program Reach and Risk Assessment on the state\'s young children, birth to five, and their families. In the assessment, demographic data, such as household income and parent education, as well as data on the use and availability of early childhood programs and services are collected and reviewed. According to the 2008-2009 OCDEL Program Reach and Risk Assessment Report, more than 400,000 infants and toddlers, birth through age two, lived in the state. Of these infants and toddlers, only 19 percent received publicly-funded early childhood services.[1] Among the report\'s findings on infants and toddlers:
- Eight percent of infants and toddlers were served by the Nurse Family Partnership home visitation program, Parent Child Home Program, or in Early Intervention programs.
- Seven percent of infants and toddlers received child care assistance; another 400 infants/toddlers were on a waiting list for a subsidy.
- Ten percent of all infants and toddlers were in a child care setting participating in Keystone STARS.
- Thirty of the 67 counties in the state, or 45 percent, had Early Head Start programs.
Informed by this data, Keystone Babies aimed to create about 200 new infant/toddler program slots. Twenty-six counties and cities identified as high risk areas were selected by OCDEL in which to implement the program. These communities were identified as high risk based on high poverty rates, low access to early childhood services, and the existing availability of STAR 3 and 4 providers.
Funding Keystone Babies/Grant Awards
Keystone Babies provides financial support to participating providers in the form of grants. Grant amounts are determined by how much a provider is estimated to need to meet the program and quality requirements of Keystone Babies. The maximum grant award that a provider is eligible for ranges from about $25,000 to $67,000, depending on the location of the provider. Providers may also apply for up to $12,000 in additional classroom enhancement funding to purchase equipment and supplies. Keystone Babies grants are in addition to funds that providers receive through the CCW-subsidized payment, the family co-payment, and the Keystone STARS tiered reimbursement rate. Families in Keystone Babies must continue paying the CCW co-payment.
Keystone Babies was created using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Given that ARRA funds are one-time funds, the future of the program is at present undecided. OCDEL may continue the program depending in part on the availability of Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) funds. The supplementary funding will be discontinued as of September 30, 2011 but the enrolled children will still be provided child care (and funded through their subsidy eligibility) in the now-existing classrooms. Applications for the Keystone Babies grant were due in March 2010, final grants were selected in April, and services for children were delivered beginning in May. In total, 30 programs applied for the grant, of which OCDEL funded 17 in 22 locations. The grants directly supported 27 classrooms serving 216 infants and toddlers; other children in the recipient centers, however, indirectly benefitted from the provision of high-quality practice required of the centers.
Promoting Quality and Expanding Access - Program Eligibility Requirements
Keystone Babies was designed to both increase the availability of infant/toddler slots for low-income families and to ensure that the services provided are high quality. To achieve this purpose, providers applying for a Keystone Babies grant must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Ages of children: All children enrolled in Keystone Babies must be under three years old.
- Subsidy participation: All children must participate in the child care subsidy system, Child Care Works (CCW).
- Keystone STARS: Applicants must participate in Keystone STARS, the state\'s quality rating and improvement system (QRIS), and be rated STAR 3 or STAR 4, the two highest ratings.
- Program operation: Applicants must operate a full day, full year program. This means at least 8 hours/day of instructional activities or services must be provided for at least 250 days per year. Child care services are to provide wraparound support for at least a 10-hour day.
- Class size: Classrooms must have a group ratio of 8 children to 2 staff. Classrooms with mixed-age groups are encouraged.
- Continuity of care: Teachers must be assigned to a group of children and remain with that group from birth through age three, or as long as they are part of Keystone Babies.
Programs are expected to prioritize slots for CCW-eligible children under 2 years old and to use child care waiting lists to fill available slots. The waiting list may be developed internally or provided by the local child care resource and referral agency. Programs are also expected to prioritize slots for CCW-eligible children who have multiple risk factors, such as children in Early Intervention, English language learners, children of teen parents, and families in job training or employment.
Meeting Staff Education and Professional Development Requirements
Each Keystone Babies classroom must be staffed with a lead teacher and a teacher. The lead teacher must have a Bachelor\'s Degree in early childhood education or other approved study, or have a degree in a related field that follows the credit requirements outlined in the Pennsylvania Keys to Quality Early Learning Career Lattice. In the latter case, the lead teacher needs to complete 30 credits in early childhood coursework. For the teacher position, an Infant/Toddler Child Development Associate (CDA) or a CDA and two years of infant/toddler work experience is required.
All staff must complete a minimum of 24 hours of professional development annually that includes preparation specific to the care of infants and toddlers. This training must be provided by an instructor registered in the Pennsylvania Quality Assurance System (PQAS) or other approved program. PQAS-registered instructors have achieved and maintained certain qualifications to ensure that they provide quality professional development and technical assistance to early childhood or school-age providers.
OCDEL set up a comprehensive professional development framework for Keystone Babies participants to strengthen their skills and knowledge of infant/toddler development and care. The framework includes a broad range of professional development trainings and resources, including:
- Monthly webinars that center on relationships, social emotional development and reflective practice
- Pennsylvania\'s Learning Standards for Early Childhood, Ounce Assessment, Environment Rating Scale
- Infant-Toddler Symposium focusing on social emotional development and featuring the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC), Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL), and ZERO TO THREE trainers
- Dissemination of resources on research-based practices that support social emotional development and emergent literacy
- Technical Assistants that visit classrooms, meet with teachers and administrators, and offer supports as needed.
Implementing Age-Appropriate Curricula/Learning Environment
Providers receiving a Keystone Babies grant must implement an age-appropriate curriculum that aligns with the Pennsylvania Infant-Toddler Learning Standards. The curriculum should have a relationship-based approach and promote children\'s cognitive, social emotional, language, and motor skill development. Providers must also have procedures for ensuring that trusting relationships are developed. This includes supporting families from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Activities should be inclusive of children with disabilities and their early intervention plans.
To monitor the quality of the learning environment, Keystone Babies programs will be assessed using the Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Revised (ITERS-R). Classrooms must achieve an overall score of at least 5.25. Classrooms that score below 5.25 will be required to develop an improvement plan as part of their Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) plan, which is required of all STAR 3 and STAR 4 providers. To help ensure that providers understand the assessment process, providers must attend ERS training.
Promoting Family and Community Engagement
Cultivating relationships with parents and other family members is an important component of Keystone Babies. Providers that are awarded a grant are expected to actively engage parents through various activities. Among them, providers should work with parents to create a learning plan and set goals for their children. They should also provide opportunities for families to continue the learning experience at home. At minimum, four parent-teacher meetings must be organized annually. It is recommended that two of these meetings be held in the child\'s home. During these meetings, staff should go over the child\'s individual progress and provide information about child development. Providers are also expected to be knowledgeable about local resources and services, such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), so that they can provide referrals to families if needed. Parents should have the chance to be involved in overall program planning, such as providing input on new policies and procedures.
In addition to promoting parent involvement, providers are required to connect with their local Community Engagement Group or other local early childhood leaders and review the early care and education needs of the community. Providers are expected to work with other local organizations on coordinating child development and family support services. Providers are also expected to partner with community members on increasing overall local awareness about the importance of the early years in child development.
Providing Comprehensive Services
Keystone Babies providers must work with early childhood specialists and consultants to ensure that the health and developmental needs of infants and toddlers in their program are met. A variety of screenings, referral services, and other support must be provided, including:
- Developmental screenings: Keystone Babies programs are expected to conduct developmental screenings using the Ages and Stages (ASQ) questionnaire.
- Early intervention services: Programs must coordinate with the Infant and Toddlers and Preschool Early Intervention (EI) programs to support children with special needs. Programs are expected to collaborate with their local Early Intervention (EI) program and strive to have at least 10 percent of children who also receive early intervention services.
- Health services: Programs are required to meet with a qualified health consultant at least four times a year. The purpose of these visits is to maintain the health and safety of the program and provide ongoing access to health services and support to families, including routine health screenings and referrals.
- Behavioral health services: Participants must collaborate with certified or licensed behavioral health service providers to ensure that early childhood mental health services are available to families. Consultants must be able to provide follow-up and referral services, including referrals for ongoing family mental health services.
- Food and nutrition support: Keystone Babies programs must be able to support the nutritional needs of infants and toddlers in their program. Programs may not charge families for formula, meals, or snacks and must follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines on meal planning.
Monitoring Keystone Babies Providers
Keystone Babies has several measures in place to monitor providers for compliance with the program requirements and track child outcomes. These measures include:
- ERS assessment: Programs are expected to participate in the infant toddler environment rating scale (ITERS) assessments, both the self-assessment and outside-assessment components.
- Site visits: Program specialists will conduct site visits to monitor providers. In addition, there will be provider meetings three times a year.
- Data tracking: Providers must participate in the Early Learning Network and enter program information, such as service location, staff, and child attendance into the online database system, Pennsylvania Enterprise to Link Information Across Networks (PELICAN).
Evaluation of Keystone Babies
OCDEL is currently in the process of writing a white paper on the Keystone Babies program. The paper will present findings on the program and participants. All Keystone Babies classrooms have received Environment Rating Scale (ERS) assessments conducted by external assessors. A post-ERS rating will be completed to determine if the Keystone Babies programs has had impacts on classroom environment. Similarly, OCDEL surveyed teachers and administrators about attitudes and caregiving at the start of the program\'s implementation. These participants will be surveyed again after they have completed the program\'s comprehensive professional development framework. Child outcomes will be assessed using data collected through the Early Learning Network.
OCDEL has identified the following implementation challenges in the Keystone Babies program, which would be addressed if program funding is extended:
- Degree requirement: Some programs had difficulty finding teachers with Bachelor\'s degree and were granted waivers. OCDEL would examine changing the requirement to an Associate\'s degree and adding a professional development requirement to help move teachers towards a Bachelor\'s degree.
- Teen parent access: The full day/full year service requirement prevented access among some vulnerable populations, such as teen parents who only needed care during the school year or less than 8 hours/day. OCDEL would look at extending eligibility to teen parenting programs and other select programs that provide less than full-time care.
- Classroom requirements: Classrooms were allowed a maximum of 8 children, all of whom had to be enrolled in Keystone Babies. This caused problems when one child lost subsidy eligibility or reached age three and had to be transitioned out of the classroom. To provide greater flexibility and still promote continuity of care, OCDEL would consider allowing a minimum of four children per classroom to be Keystone Babies.

Sofia Vergara Poses For Post Engagement Photo in The Hamptons (EXCLUSIVE)
There was bling — but not the kind the world wanted to see — when Sofia Vergara posed for her first post-engagement photo over the weekend.
Flashing costume jewelry and not the diamond sparkler that on-again, off-again fiancé Nick Loeb gave her when he proposed recently.
The 40-year-old was photographed at in The Hamptons, N.Y. alongside son Manolo Gonzalez, his girlfriend and friends.
Where was Loeb?
Though Loeb — the entrepreneurial businessman and aspiring politician — was not in frame, the pair was spotted having an intimate dinner Friday night at high-end eatery Georgica.
On Saturday, another eyewitness spotted them dining with friends, including Prudential Douglas Elliman chairman Howard Lorber, at Nobu in Southampton, where a fellow diner told Celebuzz, "Sofia was wearing her huge engagement ring and was being congratulated by everyone."
The couple were staying in a private mansion in Southampton with close friends, event production sales executive Patrick Bolchoz and real estate developer Matthew Levine.
After, they headed to the club, South Pointe, where they got the party started in a private cabana.
"Sofia was glowing and looked happier than ever," one fellow partygoer told Celebuzz.
As we previously reported, Loeb popped the question earlier this month in front of friends and family at an ancient monument in Mexico while celebrating the star's 40th birthday.
At the time, a source exclusively told Celebuzz: "Nick 'popped the question' while at the Mayan archeological ruins of Chichen Itza with the entire birthday entourage. The couple returned back to Rosewood Mayakoba where they celebrated with family and friends, including Modern Family cast mates Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, and Sarah Hyland."
The actress briefly split with Loeb in May, with sources blaming a series of fights for the rift.
But by June the couple apparently reconciled and was photographed holding hands in New York.

Election 2012: 26 Celebrities Who've Played the President On-Screen (GALLERY)
The American icon is the subject of two movies being released this year: the alternate-universe, action flick Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Steven Spielberg's biopic Lincoln.
From Daniel Day-Lewis to Benjamin Walker, many actors in Hollywood have stepped up to the plate to portray the president of the United States on-screen.
But seeing how Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are duking it out at the voter's booth this November (not to mention their fiery debates trending worldwide), there's no doubt this election will be too documented on TV and movies for years to come.
In fact, Saturday Night Live players Fred Armisen and Jay Pharoah have both played the part of Obama on the NBC sketch comedy show.
Who else has been president — Hollywood-wise? Launch the gallery to find out.

NBC has given a presentation order to an untitled comedy written by and starring Upright Citizens Brigade alums Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair. The single-camera project, from Scot Armstrong and Ravi Nandan's American Work and UMS, is a comedy triangle centered on a woman (Parham) and her new live-in boyfriend. They find themselves taking in her distraught (and pushy) best girlfriend (St. Clair) who ends up on their doorstep after a divorce. Parham, St. Clair, Armstrong and Nandan are all exec producing. The pilot order stems from American Work's first-look deal with NBC. The company previously produced the network's 2009 comedy pilot Off Duty.
NBC Picks Up Lennon Parham/Jessica St. Clair Comedy Presentation
14 Comments
Both of these women are so funny, so talented, so deserving of this success. Hope NBC is smart enough to put it on the air.
Sounds like the best decision NBC has made in a hot minute.
Will this be a multi-camera or single camera? Anyone know?
Check the second sentence, BB.
The second sentence is "The single-camera project, from Scot Armstrong and Ravi Nandan's American Work and UMS, is a comedy triangle centered on a woman (Parham) and her new live-in boyfriend." So I think it's single camera…
Fantastic! This is a must see. These women are so talented.
Can't wait.
Lennon is just awesome. I knew her back in high school and she has always had that awesome deadpan humor.
This is the first 1/2 hour NBC picked up that I would watch. Hope it gets to my TV screen.
It's nice to see a show picked up without star f'in as a factor. If NBC brings this to series it could be a return to their glory days when they made stars. These two are hilarious, smart and not overexposed. Hope it happens.
Huge fan of Ravi!!! Congrats!!! And the actress are hilarious!!! This is great news for TV and diversity hiring!!!
St. Clair has been killing it in her ventures thus far, I expect this will be equally hilarious.
Jessica St. Clair might be funny somewhere, but she ruins Comedy Death Ray everytime she's on it. Absolutely unlistenable. She obviously hasn't heard a teenager speak in two decades, because her character SUCKS! I really like Donald Glover and Andy Richter but wasn't able to listen to their cdr's because of her. Be warned NBC.
St. Clair's hilarious on Death Ray. Kills every time.
Congratulations to the humorous duo! The billboard on my drive down Olive in Burbank looks great!

PARIS (Sep. 20)
Three members of Joseph Darnand's Vichy militia who admitted they assassinated Georges Mandel, Colonial Minister in Leon Blum's cabinet, will soon be tried before a special tribunal here.
Three senior Vichy police officers, including the chief of the Versailles police, who aided in the assassination, are also to be tried. It is believed that the murder occurred at the Forest of Fontainebleau, near Paris. According to a Vichy announcement, Mandel was killed July 14 while being transferred by automobile from one prison to another.
The Germans in southern France captured and put to death Benjamin Cremiaux, well-known French Jewish scholar who had been serving as a leader of the Maquis, it was learned today. Cremieux, who was 58 years old, was a grand-nephew of Adolphe Cremicux, French Justice Minister who in 1871 issued the famous Cremieux decree granting Algerian Jews French citizenship.

All eyes will be on the West Coast Conference Thursday night when Gonzaga travels to face conference-leading Saint Mary's in a critical matchup in the West Coast Conference.
The game is not only crucial to the WCC standings, where Gonzaga is just a game behind the Gaels, but it also means a great deal to each team's at-large resume for the NCAA tournament.
BUBBLE TRACKER: Has Gonzaga slid into the field?
Saint Mary's, which currently holds an RPI of 45, is in the midst of a two-game losing skid and needs to get back on track in a hurry if it hopes to have a chance at an at-large bid.
Gonzaga, meanwhile, can earn a split with the Gaels in their season series and force a tie at the top of the league standings -- while giving their at-large resume a jolt in the process.
Who wins the game? Find out below in the Bubble Tracker video as USA TODAY's Reid Cherner and Tim Gardner pick their winners -- as well as the winners from Georgia vs. Florida and Marquette vs. Connecticut.

Australia's largest car retailer is upbeat about the outlook for the current financial year.
Automotive Holdings Group managing director Bronte Howson said at the company's annual meeting that trading in the four months to October 31 had shown a 67 per cent improvement on the previous corresponding period, when the collapse of Lehman Brothers brought markets and economies to a halt.
The company attributed the better performance to improved market conditions and the spillover from a strong performance in the June half of 2009. Management believes rebounding consumer confidence and improving vehicle sales should continue into 2010. Net profit for the four months to October 31 was $16.7 million, excluding a profit of $4.9 million on the sale of shares in recently floated Carsales.com.

Safety Training for Bike Riders
Campus Offers Both Online and Hands-on Programs
Jan. 29, 2013
With the crush of the new semester and cost of driving a vehicle, as well an increasing awareness of greenhouse gases, more and more members of the campus community are riding bicycles to get to campus.
To encourage safe ways of traveling to and from campus, Cal State Fullerton offers both online and hands-on bicycle safety training.
"We're really trying to get the word out to faculty, staff and students that we offer such training," said Cari Elofson of Environmental Health and Safety.
The 30-minute online program, developed by the University Bicycle Committee, Environmental Health and Safety, Parking and Transportation and University Police, covers the rights and responsibilities of bikers, campus rules, the use of proper safety equipment such as a helmet, hand signals, use of bike lanes, sharing the road with motorized vehicles and dealing with hazards such as distracted drives and road rage.
"The training is also good for drivers because we do have so many bicyclists on campus," Elofson added, who noted that the online program can be accessed through the faculty-staff portal, under the training tab.
Hands-on training for students covers similar material as the online program and is handled by Officer Chauncey Fonner. During the University Police program, bikes are registered. Specific times have not been developed for the semester, although training was provided at student housing the week before classes started.
"I try to offer riding techniques and ways that bicycles, motorcycles and cars can coexist on campus roadways. A big issue is when bicycles are ridden in areas where it can be hazardous for pedestrians and the bicyclists. In the training, I cover the many bike paths available to riders, as well as areas where we encourage people to walk their bikes," said Fonner.
The overall goal is to make it easy for all campus members to travel to and around campus, said Elofson and Fonner.
"With more than 30,000 students, as well as faculty, staff and community members, it's important that we all do what we can to be safe," Fonner added.
To help bicyclists keep their vehicles in tip-top condition, the campus has self fix-it stations provided by Parking and Transportation, and Associated Students Inc. , as well as free monthly bike checkup services.
The fix-it stations are available near bicycle racks at the Student Recreation Center, the Titan Student Union and University Hall.
Bike checkup services are offered from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 31, Feb. 21 and March 21 along the walkway between the Pollak Library and Titan Shops.
For more information, contact Elofson at 657-278-8673 or Fonner at 657-278-2515.

Dirac delta function
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dirac delta function is a big meme by mathematician Paul Dirac. It is a really pointy and skinny function that pokes out a point along a wave. The delta function is used a lot in sampling theory where its pointiness is useful for getting clean samples.
The integral of the Dirac Delta Function is the Heaviside Function.

A TEENAGE door-to-door charity trickster who claimed to be collecting cash for a 'sick' little brother has been jailed for eight months.
Burnley Crown Court heard how drug taker Wayne Kinvig preyed on the kind– ness of householders who handed over funds after he told them his brother suffered from cerebral palsy.
He told one victim cash was needed to pay for stem cell treatment and spun a tale to another that he had raised £34,000 and needed £5,000 more.
The defendant had knocked on doors, armed with an official-looking clipboard with a sponsor sheet attached. His scam was so sophisticated, he carried around charity details and even information about Gift Aid, where charities can reclaim tax on donations.
He claimed he did not target pensioners, but three of his victims were elderly.
The defendant had been arrested and bailed after his first fraud, but carried on the spree, netting a total of £16.50. His luck finally ran out when he called at the home of a Police Community Support Officer.
Kinvig, now 18 and father of a baby boy, had earlier admitted eight counts of fraud by false repres-entation.
The defendant, of Elm Street, Burnley, was sent to a Young Offenders' Institution.

On a very warm afternoon, I finally got a chance to go watch a Jaguars Training Camp session for the first time. However, in an act of clumsiness, I forgot to bring my notepad with me, so I'm winging it for this one. I also didn't have a very good spot to see every little detail, so bear with me.
David Garrard seems to still be shaking away some off the rust. Some of his deeper throws have been off the mark, including one to Miller, who was open down the field. His short passes seem to be fine, though.
Blaine Gabbert is HUGE! I'm a pretty tall guy and he's taller than me. He's got a pretty good arm too. He can sling it, but he's also pretty accurate. On one play, he threw to a receiver on an out route just over the outstretched arms of a cornerback (I believe it was Rod Isaac.). He also smoked one to a receiver 30 yards down the field. However, with the ups, there were downs. Gabbert almost threw a couple of interceptions (One by Matt Estrada, which I thought he caught and returned as a pick six).
Brock Bolen is thick and he can really move. On one play in particular, he was making people miss as he ran for a significant amount of yardage. Looks like someone is going to be a hit in preseason again.
Maurice Jones-Drew left early, but not because of injury, because he wasn't limping or anything. Plus, he was signing a bunch of autographs for the fans near the fences. Not surprisingly, people started swarming over to the fences.
Kassim Osgood turned heads when he snatched the ball away Derek Cox on a pass from David Garrard during the two minute drill.
Aaron Kampman, doesn't look like a guy that had two straight knee surgeries.
Chris Prosinski looks quick and he changes direction quite well. I can see why Gene likes him,. However, I didn't see much of him., since I was focused on the QBs.
Also speaking tall, Austen Lane is huge as well. He also displayed a couple of good moves dutring some of the drills. I hope that translate to more pressure on the QB this year
In a bit of a negative note, in the CB interception drills, T.J. Heath, an UDFA from Jacksonville State, tried to catch a ball one handed and missed. He's definitely trying his best to stick on the roster.
Special Teams
Brian Saunders, an UDFA from Virginia Tech, seemed to have a bit a of a weaker leg with punts that consistently went for about 35 yards. Then again, it might have been a part of the drill, since he also kept kicking it to the exact same spot, which is kinda impressive.
There's a guy wearing a #3 jersey out in special teams. The guy looks fast. I don't know who that guy is, but I'll find out his name eventually. Deji Karim didn't look too bad either.
Other Notes
Bring some hydration, it's hot out there.
If you just want to hang around, just stay around the cool fans. The bleachers are usually crowded anyways.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT WEAR JEANS OF ANY KIND!!! Unless you like chafing…

to the Fifth World Landslide Forum, November 2 – 6, 2020, Kyoto, Japan
Implementing and Monitoring the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025
-Voluntary contribution to the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and
the Agenda 2030-Sustainable Development Goals-
Dear Colleagues of the World Landslide Community,
The International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) and the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025 will invite you to join the 5th World Landslide Forum to be held in November 2-6, 2020, Kyoto Japan. This conference is held as a mid-term evaluation of the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships, voluntary contribution to the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Agenda 2030-Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The effects of climate change and the progress of urbanization shall intensify the landslide risk to human settlements in mountainous and coastal areas in many countries. An opportunity must be found to mobilize in the medium and long term a global alliance which will accelerate and incentivize action for landslide disaster risk reduction during this Forum. The Kyoto 2020 Commitment of the World Landslide Community is examined to be achieved in WLF 5 in order to serve this purpose. A topic in WLF5 is the 5th of November "World Tsunami Awareness Day (WTAD)" adopted by 70th UN General Assembly 2015 based on the understanding of,
Tsunami are generated by sudden submarine topographic movement, such as:
・ Submarine volcanic eruptions;
・ Landslides near a coastline or at the bottom of the ocean; and
・ Submarine crustal deformations accompanying earthquakes.
Tsunami caused by coastal and submarine landslides has not been well studied as well as the climate change effect. For intensifying the proactive response to reduce landslide disaster risk, the following five themes are proposed;
・ Theme 1: Sendai Partnerships and Kyoto 2020 Commitment
・ Theme 2: Hazard and vulnerability mapping, vulnerability and risk assessment
・ Theme 3: Technologies for monitoring, resting, analyzing, simulating and early warning
・ Theme4: Societal landslide disaster risk reduction, and capacity development
・ Theme 5: Landslide research frontiers
ICL will publish a thematic issue "ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025" of Journal Landslides in October 2020. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to be invited lecturers in WLF5. This issue will be free access before and during WLF5.
I look forward to meeting and discussing with you for landslide disaster risk reduction in Kyoto, 2020.
Kyoji Sassa, WLF5 Forum Chair
Editor-in-Chief of Landslides

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Family run hotel, who were very helpful. Near to several large ski areas & 30mins from Geneve aiport ! I hope to stay again in the future.
Roger and Sue were so very cordial. It felt like we were in their home as guests. They went out of their way to help us plan our drives in the area and even tried to find a way to make our computer work better. Both evenings we were there, we sat and visited like friends, which they now are. It was a delightful stay.
Really well placed to visit the local area, The English speaking owners are extremely knowledgable and are full of suggestions as what you might like to do do, Ask about hide away restaurants? A nice hotel!
They were great hosts and went out of their way to make us feel at home.
The price was fair and location convenient The reception/dining area was grubby and worn and hotel advertised as having a restaurant which we discovered was no longer the case.
Extreme hospitality, food was amazing. Country French cooking at its best Loved the pet love received from the 2 family dogs. Great conversation over dinner with a warm welcome atmosphere. Close to major highways even though snuggled away in a quaint little village. Highlight of our trip..
Very quiet.Warm welcome from the owner.Car park. The Hotel is quite expensive according the location.Breakfast expensive and not included.It could be included for the price of the room.I am n t sure there is internet
The staff very friendly. Dinner really nice quality at fair price. The room not very clean.The towels not changed even though we left them on the floor the second day.
The host couple are friendly, charming, and helpful. Casual interaction with other guests was the most fun.

By David Ginsburg, AP Sports Writer
OWINGS MILLS, Md. Baltimore Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle practiced in full gear Wednesday and expects to return to the starting lineup Sunday after a three-game absence.
Rolle was sidelined since Sept. 20 with an illness that required a brief hospital stay. He declined to discuss specifics of his condition, but said it was an ordeal.
"To wake up one morning and think you're going to work and end up in the hospital, it's scary," Rolle said. "The medication put me back a whole week because I didn't feel good and it made me feel worse."
The former Pro Bowler wasn't ready to reclaim his starting role in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, but he intends to play if his condition does not worsen.
"It really depends on how I feel. This is the first time in three weeks I've done anything, so we'll see how it goes," Rolle said. "Only thing I know is I got to practice today. It's a day by day thing."
Most 10-year veterans might groan about being at practice. Rolle treated it as a privilege.
"Just to be able to put a helmet on and not have any problems and be able to complete a practice," he said, "it's very gratifying."
Rolle signed as a free agent with Baltimore in 2005 and made 34 straight starts through the second week of this season. The last time he missed as many as three games in a year was in 2004, when a knee injury forced him out of the Tennessee Titans' final five games.
With Rolle out, the Ravens used Corey Ivy at cornerback opposite Chris McAlister. During that time, Baltimore beat Arizona, lost to Cleveland and defeated San Francisco.
"I missed three games and that's a lot," Rolle said. "I feel a lot better. I'm just glad to be back."
And the Ravens are delighted to have him. Ivy played well, but Baltimore is a better team with Rolle in the mix.
"It's huge," coach Brian Billick said. "To have him back allows Corey to go back to the nickel spot, where he's so, so good. And the guys who had to step into that (nickel) role can now step back into their special teams role."
Linebacker Ray Lewis said, "I think it kind of calms you a little bit because we're mixing and matching so many different people."
Unsure if Rolle will be ready to play, Ivy is preparing for either scenario.
"I'm anticipating playing both. If he comes back I'll go to my old position and do what I do. If he's not able to go then I'll try to do better than I did last week," Ivy said. "There's always room for improvement."
Tackle Adam Terry (ankle) did not practice and will probably miss Sunday's game. Center Mike Flynn (knee) is also hurt, meaning the Ravens could start three rookies on the line: guard Ben Grubbs, tackles Jared Gaither and Marshal Yanda.

Narayanasamy lambasts Narendra Modi`s comments on Cong, PM
Minister of State in PMO V Narayanasamy on Sunday lambasted Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his attacks on Congress and the Prime Minister.
Chennai: Minister of State in PMO V Narayanasamy on Sunday lambasted Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his attacks on Congress and the Prime Minister, saying he does not know politics and was being projected by BJP only because that party does not have other leaders.
"Modi does not know politics and is being projected by BJP only because it does not have other leaders. Modi cannot talk about who can become Prime Minister... He cannot talk about Congress. His statements are totally wrong and not based on facts," he told reporters here.
He claimed the Congress-led UPA government was transparent in its functioning and it was only BJP-ruled states like Gujarat which were corrupt.
At the BJP conclave in Delhi today, Modi charged Congress with sacrificing the nation`s interest for the Gandhi family for which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been appointed a "night watchman".
He hit out at Congress saying its "commission-seeeking" government at the Centre was destroying the nation like a termite and that party`s tradition has been to sacrifice the nation`s interest for the sake of one family.
Narayanasamy said India had not yet formulated its stand over the US-backed resolution against Sri Lanka in the United Nations as it does not know what kind of resolution that country would be moving before the body.
However, India is closely watching the situation and would take a suitable decision when the issue comes up before the body, he said.
"India has not decided on its stand as it does not know what kind of resolution US is expected to move against Sri Lanka in UNHRC. As far as our government is concerned, the Prime Minister is watching the situation and at that time (when the issue comes), a decision will be taken," he said.
His remarks come in the backdrop of demands by political parties in Tamil Nadu that the Centre support the resolution.

Lifetime vs. UNH:
Meeting up for the 95th time in the all-time series, Merrimack and New Hampshire have been facing off since Jan. 16, 1960, with the Wildcats holding the upper hand head-to-head. Merrimack has gone just 19-66-9 all-time against UNH, including a 9-24-6 mark at home (where both games this weekend will be played) and a 9-42-2 record in Durham. Recently, though, the Warriors have fared quite well against New Hampshire, owning a 6-2-1 record over their last nine meetings, including a 2-1 mark (1-0 at home) in last year's season series.
Last Time Out:
With under three minutes to go in regulation, sophomore Justin Hussar brought Merrimack to within one on a deflection goal, but 16th-ranked Vermont held off a late Warrior rally, as Merrimack fell, 4-3, in the second game of a weekend Hockey East series at Lawler Rink.
Backed by a two-goal spurt from senior Mike Collins, Merrimack hopped out to a 2-1 lead in the early goings of the second period, but the decisive stretch of the game came within an eight-minute frame in the middle stanza, as three straight Vermont tallies put the visitors ahead by a 4-2 margin that proved to be the difference.
But Merrimack controlled play throughout the third period, throwing 11 chances in total at Vermont netminder Brody Hoffman. Finally, though, at the 17:22 mark, senior Brendan Ellis sent a slap shot on net that Hussar managed to tip in, bringing the Warriors to within a goal.
Read the full recap from last Saturday here.
The Wildcats:
- Tabbed third prior to the start of the season in the league's preseason poll, New Hampshire has been right in the thick of the race for home ice in the Hockey East Tournament and enters the final weekend of the regular season with a 18-15-1 overall record and three points out of second place in the league standings
- Senior Kevin Goumas leads all Wildcats with 40 points (13g, 27a) and ranks 17th nationally in points per game (1.21) and 10th in assists per game (0.82); Nick Sorkin (16-16--32) and Matt Willows (18-14--32) have also posted 30 or more points for New Hampshire
- Casey DeSmith is UNH's primary netminder, starting 29 games with a 2.32 GAA and .921 SV%
- The Wildcats have been extremely disciplined, averaging the fewest penalty minutes (7.4) in the country; their power play (21.3%) ranks 12th
- Head coach Dick Umile is in his 24th season and owns a 537-291-95 coaching record

|Shuffled lineup comes through for Lady Cats
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
April 24, 2004 -- PARIS -- Sulphur Springs coach John McCullough knew his lineup would be shuffled Friday night with the temporary loss of Melissa McSheffery. He just didn't know how much.
Center fielder and lead-off hitter Kristen Cross was hit in the nose with a ball during warm-ups in the second inning, forcing McCullough to make even more changes.
But, it never showed.
With senior Hollie Watson throwing a one-hitter and multiple-hit games from Cross, Whitney Gideon and Stephanie Kethley, the Lady Cats swamped Paris, 7-0, to finish the regular season with a 7-3 district record (21-8-1 overall).
That puts them in a second place tie in District 11-4A with Denison -- a tie that will be broken at 7 p.m. Monday when the two teams meet for the third time this season. Coaches were meeting on Saturday to determine a site.
Watson gave all the credit for the shutout to her defense, which included a spectacular grab up the middle from senior shortstop Savana Gibby in the sixth inning, and a throw-out at first base from right fielder Crystal Smitherman in the fifth.
"Savana did an awesome job, coming from the middle to get that ball, and Crystal took a hit away from that girl. That should have been a hit, a line drive hit, and Crystal came up gunning. It was an great play. Everyone did great tonight on defense.
"And, I tell you, Courtney Aguilar did an awesome job behind the plate. I couldn't ask for a better catcher. Her knees were so achy, and she stuck it out back there and did awesome. "
Watson was pretty good herself. She struck out seven and walked two in going the distance. The only hit came in the third when Paris' Meredith Rhodes grounded a ball through the middle. That loaded the bases with one out, but Watson struck out Paris' No. 4 and 5 hitters, Jennifer Gerber and Jodi Greb, on six pitches.
By that time, the Lady Cats had given her a 6-0 lead. In the first inning, Cross bunted for a single, advanced on Gideon's bunt, went to third on a missed pop-up from Gibby and scored on a throwing error when Watson laid down a sacrifice bunt. Smitherman gave SSHS a 2-0 lead with a long double down the left field line and Kethley drove two more runs in with a looping single to center.
In the second, Cross again reached on a bunt, Gideon singled to left center and they scored on Gibby's line drive hit to left and a long sacrifice fly by Watson.
Their final run came in the fifth when Casey Carper reached on a ball to center and came home on consecutive singles by Cristie Dixon and Gideon. Dixon, who was inserted in the game after Cross' injury, reacted positively, going 1-for-3 with her two outs both being hard-hit balls to center field.
Gideon, who moved from left field to third base, went 3-for-4 with a double. She said the line-up changes helped focus the team.
"The main outlook was to focus as much as we could," she said. "We knew we could beat this team, but the focus had to be there because of the changes. We had good practices, but we had to keep encouraging everybody to do their best. We knew everyone could do their jobs. It was a matter of focus and wanting to win."
McCullough was encouraged by the way the team came out strong against Paris in their Senior Night.
"We played really good defense with girls playing different positions. Everybody who moved to different spots did a great job. That's what we've got to have," McCullough explained. "We have to have athletes playing their spots, no matter what it is and no matter the situation. Right now, we're getting that, and it's very important.
"You kind of get in a routine, but once changes are made, there's not that routine, so you have to make everything more focused and more intense because you haven't been there. Those different changes does make you focus more."
Notes: McSheffery is responding well to treatment and believes she will be available for the Lady Cats' first playoff game, which will be next Friday against either Mesquite Poteet (second place in 12-4A) or Wylie (third place). ...Casey Carper started in right field for the first time this year after being the every-day second baseman. Then, when Cross got hurt, she moved to center.

Pros: 1.5v means less heat and more room to OC
Cons: A little pricey compared to 1.65v units
I got these specifically because it was the highest clocked 1.5v quad channel kit available that would fit under an NH-D14. Thanks to the removable top fins (red), these fit under my massive air cooler with plenty of clearance to spare. If you've got an x79 setup and plan to go with a large tower cooler this is the RAM you want. I've had no heat management issues whatsoever without the top fins even though 3 of the 4 sticks are physically under the heatsink (and thus get less airflow than they would normally). I attribute these excellent thermal characteristics mainly to the relatively low voltage, and I'm perfectly happy with the stock 2133mhz clock speed.

Japan moves right as conservatives win big in polls
Source: AFP
TOKYO Japan's conservative opposition swept to victory in national polls Sunday, giving former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a second chance to promote his hawkish security agenda and reflate the economy.
Voters decisively abandoned Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda three years after his Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) promised a change from more than half a century of almost unbroken rule by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
Abe, who spent the campaign pledging to bolster Japan's defences and stand up to China over disputed islands, secured a handsome majority for the LDP in the election for the powerful lower house of parliament, exit polls showed.
Abe, whose brief stint as premier in 2006-7 ended ignominiously, has also vowed to rectify the listless economy after years of deflation, made worse by a soaring currency that has squeezed exporters.

Japanese mainstream conservatives bear no resemblance to the Tea Party or the Religious Right or any of the other nutcases we have here.

9. It means the people who were behind WWII.
They believe in racial purity which means denial that their ancestors came from Korea, among other things.
Scientific and genetic evidence indicates that the Asiatic Japanese primarily came from Korea and pushed out the Ainu, Japan's indigenous people. The Ainu look more like Slavic Russians than Asian and now live in small colonies in Hokkaido.
My wife is Japanese and was fascinated with how the right denied all kinds of evidence that clashed with their preferred ideological views.
So the specifics are different from American conservatives but the mindset is identical.

Not so much recently.
She kind of shifted her interests to the North Korean insanity.
Though the right wing was responsible for WWII I accept that it wasn't appropriate to attribute today's right wing to those in charge back then.
I also know you live in Japan today so I will defer to your opinions as being more relevant than mine.

12. no...
'conservative' pretty much anywhere else in the world bears no relationship whatsoever to the swivel-eyed loon-spuddery that Americans call 'conservative'.
in western Europe, Barak Obama (who i like...) would be on the right-centre wing of most of the centre-right parties, none of whom would be gun nuts, all would be pro-choice (to differing extents, but in philosphical terms they'd be pro-choice), pretty much all of them are pro Gay marriage, and pretty much all have some some form of taxpayer funded healthcare.
the politcal labels used in America have no revelence to what happens in the rest of the world, and Americans' (of all political flavours) assumption that the terms and ideologies they use are the same the world over is an unfortunate indication of how US centric, and to be frank, ignorant, many Americans are even when they are looking at the outside world.
its the serious version of 'the world series' - in which only American teams compete, but Americans haven't noticed that they are the only people who compete in'the world series'...

for the next 5 years. My wife says that the liberal candidate will win (which I hope happens), but I have a unsettling feeling the conservative candidate might win. I'm going to be pissed if it happens. Tomorrow is the last day of campaigning and it didn't drive me nuts like it did 5 years ago with the huge trucks blaring music outside my apartment building.
I'm crossing my fingers and toes.

Warning: stop the sprawl or turn into Atlanta
Page Tools
Sydney faces an "apocalypse" if it fails to confront problems caused by sprawling suburbs, the leading American architect Kenneth Frampton believes.
His warning comes as the NSW Government develops its metropolitan strategy, which aims to create a planning blueprint for an area expected to accommodate an extra 45,000 to 50,000 people each year.
Professor Frampton, from Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in New York, warned against the sprawl of new housing developments.
"I think the worst thing that confronts Sydney, and maybe the whole country for that matter ... is suburbanisation," he said.
"It's a kind of quiet disaster in my opinion, because no one's going to rebuild that stuff."
He said the "ruthless kind of development of suburban houses on tract land" had "no consideration for landscape whatsoever".
This is most evident in Sydney's north-west which features many recent subdivisions with large houses on small lots.
The Government is considering releasing vast tracts of land in the north-west and south-west, which would loosen the state policy of urban consolidation.
Professor Frampton, who will give a lecture tomorrow night at the Museum of Contemporary Art, said urban sprawl was "very apocalyptic in the end ... Atlanta is 100 miles [161 kilometres] in diameter and still growing".
"Some recent Australian suburbs are as bad [as], if not worse than, this kind of suburban development anywhere. One of the big failures of the so-called progressive society is we don't know how to deal with this problem at all, which also ... arises directly out of the automobile."
His view of the CBD was more positive, saying Sydney compared favourably to many American cities.
This was so because Sydney had "a fair number of impressive, relatively recent high-rise buildings."
Top of his list of favourite buildings was the Renzo Piano-designed Aurora Place in Macquarie Street, while he still considered Harry Seidler's Australia Square and the MLC Centre, which caught his eye on his first visit in 1983, to be "impressive" high-rise buildings.
He praised the Sydney's policy of encouraging people to live in the city centre as important and beneficial, because the city no longer died at night.
But he said the city needed to preserve its remaining sandstone buildings, which had become difficult to see among the increasing number of high-rises. "I think it would be regrettable to let any more of it go, very regrettable."

Why did SwiftHackers put special effort into yamal/? And, data in 93/ etc. not really missing
Following up on my 27 Nov post, here's an updated diagram of where the various files in
yamal/ directory in the SwiftHack archive
FOI2009.zip likely came from. It seems now that, contrary to what I said earlier, the
93/ data mentioned in
yamal/read.me weren't in fact missing, but were converted into
yamal/coresset93.raw, perhaps by a Fortran program.
A more interesting question, in my opinion, is why the SwiftHackers purposely pooled data from several places into a
yamal/ subdirectory (the other subdirectories are just straightforward data dumps, as far as I can tell). But first, what's this "Yamal" thing? To get up to speed, here's a quick introduction by RealClimate: [cached]
[...] a particular compilation of trees (called a chronology in dendro-climatology) [...] was first put together by two Russians, Hantemirov and Shiyatov, in the late 1990s (and published in 2002). This multi-millennial chronology from Yamal (in northwestern Siberia) was painstakingly collected from hundreds of sub-fossil trees buried in sediment in the river deltas. They used a subset of the 224 trees they found to be long enough and sensitive enough [...] supplemented by 17 living tree cores to create a "Yamal" climate record [i.e. a reconstruction of past climates].That was on 30 Sep 2009. Looking at the archives of McIntyre's Climate Audit, one can see that McIntyre was harping and harping and harping and harping on the Briffa/Yamal issue from 26 Sep 2009 all the way to 11 Nov 2009 -- just shortly before the dump of
A preliminary set of this data had also been used by [CRU Researcher] Keith Briffa in 2000 (pdf) [...] to create another "Yamal" record that was designed to improve the representation of long-term climate variability. [...]
So along comes [global warming 'skeptic'] Steve McIntyre, self-styled slayer of hockey sticks, who declares without any evidence whatsoever that Briffa didn't just reprocess the data from the Russians, but instead supposedly picked through it to give him the signal he wanted. These allegations have been made without any evidence whatsoever.
So here's my -- admittedly speculative -- guess of what happened: The SwiftHackers, having pilfered data from the CRU back then, saw McIntyre's obsession over Briffa/Yamal. And so they decided to put in some extra effort to 'package' data possibly pertaining to Briffa/Yamal, in the hope that McIntyre would get the hint and continue to push this talking point.
Anyway, if there was such a hint, then McIntyre certainly didn't take it. After the
FOI2009.zip dump on 17 Nov 2009, McIntyre didn't write anything about Yamal until 4 Jan 2010.

Ok, so I have looked online for various homemade drugs, and found far to many results, but the thing is, are these real?

I dont know how posting this type of stuff goes here, but if you are more comfortable pming me, please do so.
thanks very much.

Two trials make for an especially busy week or two
Two trials to begin in Walhalla will make for an especially busy Monday at the Oconee Courthouse—and you can expect parking spaces to be at a premium for much of the day. Monday will see the start of one week of General Sessions Court and the start of what may be two weeks of Common Pleas Court. One jury is to report in the morning, the other in the afternoon. A 33-year old Oconeean, charged with domestic violence high and aggravated, is scheduled for the first General Sessions trial. Judge Larry Hyman Jr. of Conway presides. In another courtroom, a 2009 civil lawsuit titled Stoneledge at Lake Keowee Owners Association against IMK Development Company is set for a trial that involves so many parties and attorneys that it may require two weeks. Judge Alex Macaulay of West Union presides over that trial.
