Notre Dame has a chance to push its recruiting class forward during Blue-Gold Game weekend with more than a dozen visitors scheduled for South Bend.
Here's what you need to know and whom you need to track.
The Top Targets
Recruiting Recap: Austin won MVP honors at the wide receiver spot at The Opening Regional in Miami, which got him invited to The Finals this summer. He's been to Notre Dame before and has family in the Midwest. In other words, he knows plenty about the program before this weekend. The goal now is to quickly build a rapport with Del Alexander. If they hit it off, look out. Notre Dame could grab this four-star before he heads back to Florida.
The Intel: "He plans to take his time when attacking the recruiting process, but ND's Autry Denson is certainly pushing all the right buttons and making a significant impression on Austin. The Fighting Irish are sitting in a great spot right now. Austin is a glider that not only utilizes his frame by high-pointing the ball and out-muscling defensive backs, but also does a nice job of navigating after the catch. This is a big body who creates plenty of mismatches with his frame and playmaking ability. Austin shows good field vision and does a great job of making strong cuts without placing his foot on the brake. You just have to love his ability to time his jump and extend out for the football, but he shows some shiftiness to finish off the play as well." – Florida analyst Corey Bender
Commit Watch: Maybe. Austin went on record with Irish Illustrated that he won't commit this weekend. And yet, he'll be here with both parents and should get a ton of attention from the staff and other commits. Be on alert.
Recruiting Recap: Cota took April visits to UCLA and USC while also picking up a recent offer from Georgia. According to his high school coach, Notre Dame has hosted Cota before when he made a national tour of schools with his uncle. While the dad's connections to Oregon (football alumnus) and UCLA (played for Jim Mora in the NFL) are worth noting, so too is the fact Chad Cota played for the Colts when Bill Polian ran that organization. Brian Polian is now serving as Notre Dame's lead recruiter here.
The Intel: "He's really been a big pass-catching target for three years but has taken it to another level this spring, mainly with some of the times he's clocked at various camps. He's a 6-foot-4 receiver running legit 4.5's, so he has the speed to go with the size and big catch radius. We've got him No. 3 out West at wide receiver and he's a top 10 wide receiver nationally, on track to be the highest rated wide receiver to ever come out of Oregon. He's a top 50 national guy too." – national analyst Brandon Huffman
Commit Watch: Low. If this was Cota's first visit to Notre Dame there would be no chance, but the family knows the Irish program and the staff. Plus, Braden Lenzy will be here. The Oregon athletes aren't tight, but they know each other.
Recruiting Recap: Gant has been a regular at Notre Dame for the past year, going back to Irish Invasion when he worked out with Mathew Bauer. Now he's less than a month away from a May 16 commitment date, with Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan the primary contenders. The Irish might represent the final visit before that commitment, usually a good sign. Gant would represent a perfect game of sorts for linebackers coach Clark Lea with Bauer and Ovie Oghoufo already on board. Oghoufo will be back in South Bend this weekend. He plans to tag team Gant with cornerback commitment Kalon Gervin.
The Intel: "Dallas is a long, athletic prospect who, physically, is the prototype outside linebacker. He named a top five, which Notre Dame is in. The buzz in Ohio is for the Buckeyes, but there has been talk that that is not a done deal. Notre Dame and Michigan are considered the two schools that can be the biggest threats to the Buckeyes." – Midwest analyst Allen Trieu
Commit Watch: Low. Unless we're talking silent commitments, there's no way Gant makes a decision this weekend considering he has his announcement date set.
Recruiting Recap: The younger brother of Irish center Sam Mustipher has kept a low profile during his recruitment, in part because he has more here-and-now priorities. The heavyweight wrestler won a championship last winter before jumping into spring ball. He also took a visit to Penn State this off-season. Tennessee got a look too. Notre Dame should be considered the slight favorite based on the sibling connection and the fact the Irish have logged multiple visits the past couple seasons.
The Intel: "Notre Dame is always among the top teams in the discussion because his brother, Sam, plays there. He made a recent visit to Tennessee, and was at Ohio State at the beginning of the month. He also made a March visit to Michigan State, but Notre Dame, Ohio State and Tennessee are the schools to watch. Also, do not be surprised if Mustipher becomes involved with Alabama. As a player, he is very intriguing. He has a lot of offensive lineman skills, and would be a tremendous guard, but he loves defensive tackle and schools are recruiting him to play there. He possesses very good body control and can be an effective run stopper. Mustipher is explosive. – East Coast analyst Brian Dohn
Commit Watch: Decent. Notre Dame has done the legwork here and Mustipher has all the information he needs to make a decision. If the Irish off-season sells as well in recruiting as it has during spring ball, maybe Mustipher crosses the finish line.
Recruiting Recap: Peoples committed to Virginia Tech in February after picking up an offer from the Hokies earlier that month. That's a quick recruitment, which probably sets up nicely for Notre Dame. Virginia Tech, even though Peoples called it a "dream school," hasn't had a lot of time to build a relationship with this cornerback. Notre Dame has already offered, so there shouldn't be an interest gap between player and program. Again, the Irish need cornerback help.
The Intel: "Peoples is committed to Virginia Tech, but shortly after the decision received an offer from Notre Dame and set up a visit. The Irish are a realistic flip option, and it could take place sooner rather than later. In college, Peoples could play safety or cornerback. He will have to show his has the hip fluidity and speed to play cornerback, but the versatility he provides is intriguing. He drives to the ball well, but he needs to work on his change of direction. He is a good tackler, and active in coverage." – Dohn
Commit Watch: Medium. This would be a quick flip, although Notre Dame has targeted former Virginia Tech commitments before. Could the Irish do it again?
Recruiting Recap: Smith revealed plans to attend the Blue-Gold Game during a stop at The Opening Regional outside Cleveland. The Irish were the only school mentioned in addition to Ohio State and Kentucky. Smith was in Columbus for the Buckeyes' spring game last weekend. He also has a former prep teammate at Kentucky, which has created some interest in the Wildcats. Like most Ohio prospects that Ohio State wants, the Buckeyes will be tough to beat. However, the Irish will show off their corps of jumbo receivers on Saturday. Smith would be another one of those.
The Intel: "There has been a lot of controversy on Twitter with him calling out those who say he's a tight end. In his early days, I think that thought was that he may grow into one, but now I think it is pretty clear he is a big wide receiver. Kentucky and Ohio State were considered two of primary schools in this race, but he has always spoken highly of Notre Dame and I think the Irish can climb in this race." – Trieu
Commit Watch: None. Smith is record that he'll commit in September. On top of that, he said he'll take his official visits after that decision.
Offer Watch
The three-star cornerback from Georgia has been up front with Irish Illustrated that he's not just hoping for an offer this weekend, he's expecting one. Considering the Irish would be his first Power 5 offer, that's a reach on paper. Still, the Irish need cornerbacks in this class. But the more likely scenario has this weekend as an introduction between prospect and program, with an invite to return for the Irish Invasion put on the table.
Scout analyst John Garcia is a believer in this two-star cornerback who's way under the radar. "He is small and doesn't camp. He is one you've got to see in person," Garcia said. "Love him. Small but feisty and a legit track athlete as well." Campbell told Irish Illustrated that a Notre Dame offer could reshape his recruitment. But like Birdsong, no Power 5 offers are on the table yet. Would he return for Irish Invasion to work out?
Scout analyst Blair Angulo called Hampton a "late bloomer" entering the spring evaluation period, but now he's got Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado on his offer list. Size at 6-foo-2 is a real plus for the Irish, even if Hampton is raw as a cornerback. In terms of the cornerbacks coming to the Blue-Gold Game without offers, Hampton has the biggest profile, by far. The fact he's coming from Arizona is worth noting. Getting him out of state will take some work.
A former high school teammate of Brock Wright, this Texas cornerback is light on offers but showed well at The Opening Regional in Louisiana this spring. Nevada and Washington State have already offered. Interest from Yale is worth noting. Like Birdsong and Campbell, it's probably going to take an Irish Invasion workout to move Notre Dame into the offer column. Hallett seems open to that kind of investment. If Hallett was a bigger corner it might help his cause considering what Notre Dame needs.
The Insider Report has an interview with Mayfield below, but this might be the most likely of all the offers this weekend. The Irish need to expand their offensive line board, Mayfield has a connection to Brian Kelly and he's a pure tackle. Michigan recently offered, which led to a de-commitment from Minnesota. In terms of athletic tackles, Mayfield fits the bill. It would be a surprise if Notre Dame didn't offer based on the profile.
Have Irish Found Their Next O-Line Target?
Jalen Mayfield has never visited Notre Dame. Still, the four-star offensive tackle from Catholic Central in Grand Rapids, Mich., has a connection to the Irish program.
Mayfield's head coach there is Todd Kolster, a former offensive coordinator at Grand Valley State under Chuck Martin and staffer under Brian Kelly. So while the Irish will start building a rapport with the 6-foot-5, 260-pound athlete when he visits for the Blue-Gold Game this weekend, they already know plenty about Mayfield's fit.
"I don't know any people who have played down there," Mayfield said. "But I know coach (Brian) Kelly knows my coach here and they've been friends for a while. So it's pretty cool to have that connection."
The Irish haven't offered Mayfield but it's easy to see that happening considering the four-star prospect's skill set and Notre Dame's needs. Mayfield is a pure tackle prospect with room to grow. He was a one-time commitment to Minnesota but backed off that pledge after Michigan offered.
Now Notre Dame, which wants to sign at least two pure tackles in this class, could be next. The Irish wanted to get Mayfield on campus during spring practice but couldn't match schedules. Mayfield attended the Michigan spring game last weekend.
"I have really big interest," Mayfield said. "That's one of the best programs in the country year-in and year-out. That really interests me, all the history there. And they also really do well with their offensive linemen recently.
"That part means a lot. It's not just about playing at the next level, but just developing guys in college. You see the success they have doing that. That's a big priority for me. If you don't have the goal to play in the NFL, you're not going to get very far. Developing NFL players, that's a big part of what I want to see."
Mayfield, who will make the visit with his father, also wants to dig deeper into Notre Dame's off-the-field opportunities.
"When I visit places I want to mostly see academics," Mayfield said. "I could see anything with facilities anywhere. You don't get to see the academic side on TV. I want to study business management and I know Notre Dame is one of the best academic schools in the country."
Mayfield will arrive in South Bend with 14 total offers, a list that includes Michigan, Iowa, Michigan State, Arizona, Minnesota and Cincinnati. He said that in addition to Notre Dame, recent interest has come from Ohio State and Penn State.
Indiana Rush End Could Key Irish In '19
The biggest underclassman headed to Blue-Gold Game weekend won't be at the actual Blue-Gold Game. On Friday, sophomore defensive end Beau Robbins will make the drive up US-31 to Notre Dame as the 6-foot-5, 230-pounder pushes a recruitment forward that probably won't need help getting started.
The product of Carmel, Ind., already holds an offer from Indiana. Michigan and Minnesota visited this week to start the spring evaluation period. Ohio State and Northwestern already got visits. Now Notre Dame is up next.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 15 offers in the next month just based on feedback that I'm getting," said Carmel head coach John Hebert. "It's gonna be a tidal wave here pretty soon."
Notre Dame can't look in-state for pass rush help most cycles, at least not for athletes who fit profile for the program and University. Robbins won't have that issue, with Stanford showing early interest too.
The buzz about Robbins comes from the second half of his sophomore season when Hebert moved him from outside linebacker to defensive end.
"It was just one highlight play after another," Hebert said. "It just so happened that's when we went from a 4-4 team to state champion. Having Beau in really any situation, in a running situations he's just an un-blockable player and as a pass rusher even more so.
"I think I knew he'd officially be a national recruit when our other FBS guys who were seniors couldn't really block him last year in practice. And they're good players. I don't think we've even scratched the surface with Beau."
Robbins finished the season with approximately 10 sacks, according to Hebert.
The Irish should be a player here moving forward.
"I know he's always liked Notre Dame," Hebert said. "Beau is the kind of kid, I can really see him at one of the Midwest powers. Somewhere close, he's a family-oriented guy."

Koowheel means you can be cool go anywhere you want.
2.What's a glide?
A glide is a trip you take on Koowheel. We like the term because it simply and accurately describes the easy and smooth riding motion of a Koowheel. Gliding is a fun way to meet new people, see the sights, or just get out and enjoy the day.
3.What is it like to glide on Koowheel?
Gliding on Koowheel feels like nothing you've ever experienced! Step on and your instincts take over.

Simply lean forward slightly and the Koowheel will move in response. It all feels incredibly natural and really cool.
4.How does Koowheel move? How does it balance?
Koowheel senses the lean of the rider with the assistance of two-dimensional inertial navigation system and two accelerometers that sense the angle of the Koowheel with respect to gravity at 100 times per second. It balances the rider by applying forces to the ground in the direction of the lean. If you lean forward the Koowheel applies motor torque to the wheel to push it forward, bring you upright and balance you. When you lean back, it applies reverse torque to slow you down and balance you accordingly.
5.What is advantage of using Koowheel?
It can save the time spent on traffic and improve the efficience.It is green instrument.It conforms the requirement of new energy in new century.

There were other documents besides the covering letter which they read very carefully.
They were accompanied by a covering letter addressed to myself.
Before concluding the question of the covering letter I must mention the sad case of my friend Halibut.
The verses (of course not the covering letter) appeared in Heartsease and Rue.
By this arrangement I reckoned Herbert would get the letter with the receipt before the covering letter arrived.
To conceal the importance of an enclosure, it is always a good dodge to send the covering letter under separate cover.
Mr. Gerard has added a postscript expressing the hope that this report may be published together with his covering letter.
We have transmitted that with a covering letter to the Bureau of the Budget.
At first it was merely a question of despatching a parcel and writing a covering letter.
Maclise's covering letter was an apotheosis, to be rendered only in fac-simile.

Subject: [yDNAhgI] Dr. Krahn's "Walk Through The Y Project" Presentation
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:42:57 +0000
Here is Dr. Krahn's report on the "Walk Through The Y Project" which he presented at the FTDNA conference. He focused on Haplogroup E as an example.
Peter Christy of Haplogroup G reports that results for their initial tests are expected May 18-25.
Here are Dr. Krahn's/FTDNA's stated goals:
Sequencing of 3 plates of 96 Y chromosome PCR segments each.
We're sequencing in the forward- and in the reverse direction.
Average number of total unique bases on the ChrY will exceed 100 kB.
No re-runs (unless sample failed completely or < 50 kB).
Segments can be considered as randomly chosen regions on the Y chromosome which are unlikely to recombine.
All known derived SNPs and all differences to the HUGO reference sequence will be scored.
Participants can opt for public presentation of their results. This decision cannot be reversed.
If a new SNP is found the participant can decide if FTDNA makes it public. This decision cannot be reversed.
Only public markers will be available to order as single SNPs from the advanced orders page.
FTDNA will try to submit new public SNPs to NCBI (for a rs number). We can't give a warranty that they will be accepted.
If a new marker gets published by a customer all involved GRC laboratory personal must be added as co-authors.
Each participant must add all previous Y-STR / and Y-SNP results to his application.
Please indicate the testing company for non-FTDNA results.
Collective submission of similar participants by group is strongly encouraged.
FTDNA reserves the right to limit the number of participants according to our production capacity.
The GRC laboratory director decides if- and when an application will be accepted based on the scientific importance.
Public groups of well selected individuals will be preferred. This decision cannot be disputed.
Cost: US$ 750 per participant.
Turnaround time: 6 weeks after fresh swabs have been received at FTDNA.

Madam C. J. Walker (1867-1919)
Entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove on a cotton plantation to former slaves in Delta, Louisiana. She was an orphan by age seven and worked in cotton fields with her older sister to survive. She later married, but when her husband died, she was left as a single parent of a two-year old daughter. She supported her family by washing laundry and she used her earning as a laundress to pay for her daughter's education at Knoxville College.
In 1889, Walker moved to St. Louis to look for better work. She became a saleswoman for a black hair-care entrepreneur named Annie Turnbo Malone who employed black women to sell her products door-to-door. After experiencing severe hair loss herself, Walker experimented with her own hair formulas. When she perfected a formula she called "Wonderful Hair Grower," she decided to try her luck at creating her own business.
In 1905, she moved to Denver. She renamed herself "Madame C.J. Walker," and used her third husband, Charles Joseph Walker's advertising expertise to build a mail-order business. After divorcing her husband, Walker relocated to Indianapolis in 1910. After years of hard work, she had established a factory, training schools, and a national network of licensed sales agents selling her product. Her company would become known as the Walker Company. It was composed of 20,000 men and women agents in the U.S., Central America, and the Caribbean. The total sales of her company during the final year of her life reached over $500,000, and with the value of her personal assets, she had accumulated a worth of over one million dollars.
In addition to running a lucrative business, Walker was a noted philanthropist. She made donations to the YMCA and worked with the NAACP as well as donated money to many causes such as the anti-lynching movement. She became a strong advocate of Black women's economic independence and her personal business philosophy stressed economic independence for all women. She used her wealth and status to work toward political and social rights for African Americans and women.

Earlier today we featured the Jabba The Hut addition to the Adidas Originals sneaker lineup, but it seems that there is more where that came from. Enter Chewbacca boots, Boba Fett running shoes, R2-D2 + C3-PO half and half low-tops and Stormtrooper high-tops.
Yeah, you are going to need those running shoes to get away from Boba Fett.
Still no word on pricing, but you can expect these to arrive in time for the Fall/Winter of 2010. Check out the rest of the collection after the break.

Arsenal v Chelsea Live
Live Premier League action this Sunday sees a mouthwatering top of the table clash at the Emirates Stadium when Arsenal take on league leaders Chelsea. Tune into our dedicated member's area to watch the game live. Live Sport Network is the number one source for live streaming football online with over 50,000 members.
The Gunners will feel this is a must win game following their shock loss to Sunderland last week. A lone goal from Darren Bent consigned Arsenal to yet another loss against a supposed "weak" team. Manager Arsene Wenger will hope his side can lift themselves for this crunch game, which could very well be a pivotal one as far as their title ambitions are concerned.
However Arsenal bounced back in style in the Champions League during the mid-week beating Standard Liege by a 2-0 margin to clinch the top spot in their group. First-half goals from Samir Nasri and Denilson settled the issue in Arsenal's favor.
However Wenger was left to rue the result as three key players sustained injuries in the game. Kieran Gibbs has a broken foot and faces a 2-month layoff, while William Gallas and Andrei Arshavin collided while going for a header. Gallas has an ankle issue, while Arshavin required three stitches.
Meanwhile Chelsea look solid going into December when they lost the momentum last year. This year they are in a stronger position and a slip up appears to be unthinkable. Last week, the Blues beat Wolves by a 4-0 margin thanks to a brace from Michael Essien and a goal each from Joe Cole and Florent Malouda.
The win allowed Chelsea to maintain a five-point gap at the top of the table and they will be hoping to preserve the same this Sunday as well. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be boosted by the return of Michael Ballack, Deco and Didier Drogba for this game.
Frank Lampard however is expected to miss out with a thigh injury.

As I completely unwound at a newly discovered resort – Litchfield Plantation on Pawley's Island in South Carolina – a chance remark by a dinner companion alerted my ethnic antenna: "Did you know that Bernard Baruch's estate, Hobcaw Barony, is just minutes away?"
Pawley's Island is located on the southern tip of South Carolina's famed Grand Strand in the Low Country, just 30 miles south of Myrtle Beach and 65 miles north of Charleston. The picturesque, laid-back island with its mild coastal temperatures, boasts four beautiful seasons with especially long fall and spring periods.
Of course, I wanted to visit Baruch's estate, nestled in the historic village of Georgetown, just 12 miles south of Pawley's Island. I was somewhat surprised to learn that a dynamic advisor to six presidents would choose this bucolic, but off-the-beaten track locale, for his winter retreat and residence.
Hobcaw is an Indian word meaning "between the waters," and "Barony" refers to a large tract of land consisting of at least 12,000 acres granted to a titled land owner. The Waccamaw Neck was originally inhabited by the Waccamaw Indians, and is thought to have been the site of the first attempted European settlement in North America in 1526.
After changing hands several times, the land was eventually divided into 14 plantations that flourished on this fertile peninsula; 3,000 acres of tidal swamps were converted into rice fields in order to cultivate Carolina Gold rice – so named because of the golden color of its husk.
Georgetown became the center of America's colonial rice empire, but after the Civil War, cultivation began to diminish. Without slave labor, strong competition from the West and a series of devastating storms, the area experienced the decimation of rice production.
Bernard M. Baruch was born on Aug. 19, 1870, in Camden, S.C. His father, Simon, a German Jewish immigrant, had become a renowned surgeon chief on Robert E. Lee's staff during the Civil War. After graduating from City College of New York in 1889, young Bernard got his first job at $3 a week as an office boy running errands in the Wall Street financial district. At age 25, he was a Wall Street partner and, before he turned 35, had become a millionaire, amassing a fortune through stock speculation in raw materials.
He had also earned a reputation as one of the most powerful and respected personalities in politics – in both parties.
In 1905, Baruch returned to South Carolina in search of land for his Southern retreat. One mile north of Georgetown, the 17,500-acre wildlife refuge, Hobcaw Barony, attracted the financier and he purchased the land. He also bought additional property to add to the estate, providing employment and a school for ex-slaves who were still living on the old plantations.
He established his second home on the property, a handsome red brick Georgian-style house, completed in 1931, sitting on a bluff overlooking Winyah Bay. With his wife, Annie, he entertained some of the world's most important figures, including Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
Baruch was greatly respected as economic advisor and political strategist to presidents from Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy (particularly FDR, who considered him one of his "Brain Trust"). Because Baruch loved to discuss world affairs while sitting on a park bench near the White House, many people have referred to a bench near the White House in Washington as Baruch's office, calling him the "park-bench statesman."
After the death of his wife, Baruch closed his home at Hobcaw in 1956, eventually giving the property to his daughter, Belle, who was most interested in the nature preserve (her two siblings were Bernard Jr. and Renee).
Baruch died in 1965 at the age of 94.
An internationally known horsewoman, a sailor and pilot, Belle thoroughly enjoyed the plantation. Before her death in 1964, she created a trust to protect her beloved Hobcaw.
Today, the Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine & Coastal Sciences, established in 1969 through the joint effort of the Belle W. Baruch Foundation and the University of South Carolina, is a little-known gem. Rich in biological diversity, the center provides historical exhibits on rice growing, as well as nature exhibits about the marsh and marine life in the area; it's open every day to visitors.
There is a small interpretive museum offering exhibits and a 20-minute video shown upon request. Part of the institute is used for research; it's only open to the public by appointment or on scheduled tours.
George R. Askew, a director of the research program, said, "When you drive down the coast from North Carolina to here and look at the development, you wonder where the green space is going to be 50 years from now. One place you can be sure it's going to be is right here at the end of the Waccamaw Neck."
The area offers a haven for a small Jewish community. In Georgetown, at Temple Beth Elohim, Seymour Birnbaum, who moved here from New York this past year, said, "There are 45 families here, and we have services every Friday evening," which they take turns conducting.
"There's a wonderful communal feeling in this gentle Southern city – you have time to relax and enjoy life."
A few blocks away, the Jewish cemetery, which dates from 1772, has two Baruch gravestones. "This was the first cemetery to bury Jewish soldiers who died during the Civil War," noted Birnbaum.
Also in Georgetown, visitors can tour the Kaminski House Museum, built in 1769 and home to Georgetown's first mayor.
Returning to Litchfield Plantation to digest all I had seen that day, I drove down the beautiful quarter-mile Avenue of the Oaks with its ancient moss-draped towering trees, the picturesque entrance to the resort. Just ahead was the Main House, looking like Tara from Gone With the Wind.

Fox News has hired actress Stacey Dash as a contributor, which seemed in the works after her appearances on the new daytime show "Outnumbered." But at Yahoo! TV, they ran a snarky article from Tim Keneally at The Wrap. The headline was "Fox News hired 'Clueless' actress Stacey Dash."
That's not untrue – Dash starred in both the "Clueless" movie and the spinoff TV series in the 1990s. But liberals certainly enjoyed the double meaning. The Wrap somehow found it "newsworthy" to add that "Some comments on Twitter, however, have been less laudatory since the hiring was announced." Less than laudatory? "Vicious" is a word that fits:
"WOW! I used to like you so much. You have proven yourself mentally ill, especially now by joining FAUX News. Pathetic bigot," one user tweeted at Dash.
Said another, "WOW. Turncoat ass bitch."
The first tweet, from a Patrick Wendling with the Twitter handle "WarpedAuthor," and his page is full of hateful and violent thoughts. Twitchy's anti-Stacey tweet roundup included the second one, from a "PikaChulita."
Suffice it to say this is not how Yahoo! TV covered, oh, Chelsea Clinton being hired by NBC News in 2011. They ran a piece from Us magazine that began with goo: "Talk about a hard-to-beat resume! NBC News has hired an American royal for a news correspondent position: Chelsea Clinton."
There were no hateful tweets included about Chelsea's complete lack of a journalism resume.

Why Was "Top Chef" So Pervy Last Night?
Last night's episode of "Top Chef" featured extra-special guest judge Natalie Portman, who forced the chefs to cook vegetarian food in a steakhouse (so cruel!). But they must have done something right, because when the judges sat down to eat, Natalie and Padma got a little frisky. Clip above!

TV Tonight: "Aliens in America"
TV Tonight: "Aliens in America"
As far as this fall's new shows go, the CW's "Aliens in America" scored pretty high with TV bloggers who saw the pilot episode. I myself found a lot to love about the show, most notably the two main boys, Justin (Dan Byrd) and Raja (Adhir Kalyan). The story follows a Pakistani exchange student, Raja, who goes to live with an "all-American" small-town Minnesota family. The mother in the family (Amy Pietz) has a lot of reservations about this arrangement, including the fear that Raja may be a terrorist. But Justin soon finds a friend in Raja, someone who listens to him without judging.
There are some hilarious moments in this pilot episode and some clever writing overall. Yet there are also moments that make me squirm, and not in the funny-awkward "The Office" kind of way.
I actually watched the pilot episode twice, since the part of Justin's father was recast with Scott Patterson (yes, Luke from "Gilmore Girls"!) and I actually liked the show a lot more the second time around. I'll be curious to find out what you thought of it if you catch it tonight at 8:30 PM. For now, you can check out a preview of tonight's episode if you

Do Your Own Pedicure
Time: 45 minutes.
What you need: A metal nail clipper, a disposable nail file, a buffing block ($4, probeautywarehouse.com), a foot file (preferably disposable; $11, buynail.com), a cuticle pusher ($3.50, buynail.com), a tub for soaking, foot cream, non-acetone polish remover, a foam toe separator or paper towels, and three polishes―base coat, color, and topcoat.
Step 1. Trim the toenails with a clipper, then shape them with the fine-grit side of a nail file. Stroke the file in one direction; don't saw back and forth.
Step 2. Buff off any remaining fragments with a buffing block.
Step 3. Soak feet in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes or until the water turns cool. (Add a bath oil to the tub for extra softening.)
Step 4. Exfoliate with a foot file, focusing on rough patches, like the heels and the outside edges of the big toes.
Step 5. Push back cuticles using the pusher or a warm wash cloth; follow up with your favorite foot cream.
Step 6. Clean the nails with polish remover and separate the toes with a foam toe separator or pieces of paper towel.
Step 7. Apply a base coat. By the time you finish painting the last toe, you'll be ready for the colored polish.
Step 9. Apply two coats of color, allowing each coat to dry for a few minutes. Tip: Start each nail with a dab of polish in the center, then fan out in even strokes to the right and the left. Get a salon finish by swiping the brush along the tip of each nail to round the edges.
Step 10. Finish with the topcoat.

Modeling the Salish Sea
Modeling the Salish Sea planktonic ecosystem
We are currently developing a planktonic ecosystem model coupled to the physical simulation, guided by a rich archive of biological observations in Puget Sound (see Links). This model includes nutrients, phytoplankton, zooplankton, detritus, and oxygen, allowing us to link physical processes in the Salish Sea to:
- primary production,
- food availability to higher trophic levels (like fish),
- water quality and hypoxia.
Through collaboration with the UW Climate Impacts Group, we are examining how these biological processes will change as the global climate changes, mediated by local processes in the coastal ocean, atmosphere, and watershed.
The ecosystem model builds on recent work on the Washington-Oregon coast by Banas, MacCready, and their collaborators in the NSF RISE program. This page gives more information on the construction and validation of that model; a 2009 paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research documenting the coastal model is here.
|This figure compares chlorophyll (i.e., phytoplankton biomass) along the main axis of Main Basin from the Jun 2006 PRISM cruise (top) with results from a preliminary version of the MoSSea ecosystem model (bottom). The model reproduces the basic scales of near-surface phytoplankton bloom along the interior of Main Basin, as well as the way these phytoplankton are mixed down throughout the water column near the landward and seaward sills (Tacoma Narrows and Admiralty Inlet).

Then the contents of C6 and C9 aldehydes were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Because 13-HPL catalyses 13-HPOD or 13-HPOT to produce hexanal and hexenals respectively, while 9-HPL uses 9-hydroperoxides as substrates to form C9 aldehydes, the contents of C6 and C9 aldehydes produced can reflect the HPL enzyme activity. The 13-HPL activity was found to be higher at 0–6 dpa in the inbred line No. 26, and then decreased to the lowest level at 15 dpa. The total enzyme activity was the highest at 6 dpa. C6 aldehydes were mainly produced when the substrate was cleaved by the crude enzyme of 0–6 dpa, whereas the proportion of C9 aldehydes increased when the substrate was cleaved by the crude enzyme of 9–15 dpa. Hence, the inbred line No. 26 mainly showed 13-HPL activity at the early development stage (0–6 day), and predominant 9-HPL activity at the later development stage (9–12 day). On the other hand, 13-HPL activity was the highest at 6 dpa in the inbred line No. 14-1; the total enzyme activity was higher at 0 and 15 dpa and was the lowest at 6 dpa.

For manual solid-phase microextraction (SPME) analysis, the extraction fiber was aged for 2 h at 250 °C in a GC-MS injector (Supelco, Deisenhofen, Germany). The aged fiber was pushed into the head-space part of vials to extract volatiles in a 40 °C water bath for 30 min, and then the volatiles were desorbed for 3 min at 230 °C into the splitless injection port of the GC-MS. A HP-INNOWax column (0.25 mm, 60 m, 0.25 μm; Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany) was used for volatile analysis. Chromatography conditions were as follows: initial oven temperature, 40 °C held for 2.5 min, increased by 6 °C·min−1 to 230 °C, and then held for 7 min. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas at 1.0 mL·min−1.
Volatiles were identified by comparing the retention times with those of authentic standards (ion source, 250 °C; electron energy, 70 eV; multiplier voltage, 1.4 kV; and scan range, 35–400 mass units).

Lifejacket initiative hits the mark with commercial fishers
Lifejacket initiative hits the mark with commercial fishermen
Inflatable lifejackets are changing safety behaviour for commercial fishermen crossing bars on the South Island's West Coast after a project by Maritime New Zealand, the NZ Shipwreck Welfare Trust and manufacturer Survitec Group.
In an initiative prompted by the death of skipper Nick Eklund, after the loss of the vessel Lady Anna on the Greymouth bar in April 2013, a total of 113 inflatable lifejackets have now been distributed to fishermen on 57 vessels operating on the Coast for the Albacore fishing season, which runs from December to March.
The Shipwreck Welfare Trust initially funded 80 lifejackets in December, provided at cost price by Survitec, with MNZ purchasing a further additional 33 lifejackets in February 2014.
Feedback from fishermen involved has been positive.
"Putting on lifejackets is now something you do automatically now if you're crossing the bars," Fin Horder, skipper of Moata said. "They're a very good design – wearing them is no trouble at all."
Mr Horder's partner, Justine Summers, said it was reassuring to know that lifejackets were being worn in high-risk situations.
"Fishermen can't have big, bulky jackets on when they're working – but these are brilliant. You hardly know they're on. And it's great to know they are wearing them."
Les Horncastle, skipper of Kutere, said wearing lifejackets for bar-crossings was mandatory for crew Westfleet Holding Company vessels.
"They've got to wear them no matter what the conditions are and that's the way it should be – otherwise if something goes wrong someone else has to pick up the pieces."
MNZ Maritime Officer Domonic Venz said, the initiative had put a focus on safety for fishermen.
"Many of the fishermen I've spoken to are wearing the jackets not only for bar crossings but any time they go out on deck. This shows that there has been good acceptance and fishermen are starting to think about the additional steps they could take to ensure their safety and that of their crew. I really want to thank the Shipwreck Welfare Trust and Survitec for helping making this project possible."
Survitec's Southern Regional Manager, Dave Chapman, said the company was delighted to be involved.
"It's been a pleasure being part of one of the most proactive safety initiatives I've seen in the industry in years," he said.
"Getting the message across to both industry and leisure skippers and crews in respect of the importance of lifejackets as a primary means of saving lives is vital to reducing the drowning stats in New Zealand."

New USDA climate zone map reflects northward warming trends
A new government map gives gardeners in many parts of the nation a chance to turn over a new leaf for the first time in decades.
Long-awaited changes unveiled Wednesday in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's climate zone guide show northward warming trends, while also targeting a few colder areas in the mountains.
"I think it will lead people to experiment with many plants they might not have otherwise," says Steve Carroll, director of public programs at the State Arboretum of Virginia in Boyce, Va. "Nurseries might stock differently."
The "hardiness" guide, last updated in 1990, lists average minimum temperatures for different latitudinal zones.
Each zone is based on 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Two new zones were added in hotter climates this year for a total of 13 zones.
Zone 1 is coldest (-60 to -50). Zone 13 is hottest (60 to 70) and is found only on Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
The new map, located on the USDA website, uses 30 years of weather data gathered from 1976 to 2005 and is more precise than the 1990 version, showing smaller areas and accounting for higher elevations and bodies of water that can influence temperature.
It was designed for the Web, allowing people to enter their ZIP code and see their zone down to half-mile segments. That eliminates the guesswork for the nation's 82 million gardeners.
"Across the country, people will be seeing where there are some changes," says Catherine Woteki, Agriculture undersecretary for research, education and economics.
But she says the changes don't indicate permanent climate change. No section of the country changed more than half a zone, according to Woteki.
She says scientists used the latest complete data, adding they performed an analysis to see if incomplete data from the past five years would require alterations.
"We saw it would not change the map," she says.
The USDA website notes: "Climate changes are usually based on trends in overall average temperatures recorded over 50-100 years. Because the (new map) represents 30-year averages of what are essentially extreme weather events (the coldest temperature of the year), changes in zones are not reliable evidence of whether there has been global warming."
Gardening consultant Charlie Nardozzi lives in northern Vermont, which jumped to a milder zone.
"If you want to look at what might be the most politically correct thing, you can say something's happening," Nardozzi says. "But the climate is changing. Spring is coming sooner and lasting longer. Fall lasts longer, and overall the weather is so much more erratic now."
Among areas of change, a higher number means warmer:
•Much of the Northeast is half a zone warmer. For example, Pennsylvania, which was about equally divided between zone 5 and zone 6 in the 1990 map is now about 70% zone 6 and 30% zone 5.
•Nebraska was mostly zone 4 and is now almost entirely zone 5.
•Ohio was mostly zone 5 and now is mostly zone 6.
•Both South Florida and Southern California have new hotter areas around cities, but California also has some colder areas in the mountains.
The zones offer important guidelines for all planters, including tree growers. For example, a sugar maple won't produce maple sugar in a warm climate. Sugar maples thrive in the colder zone 3, dogwoods in zone 5 and rhododendrons in zone 7.
Woodrow Nelson of the Arbor Day Foundation says the group's million-plus members have been waiting for the new map for years. The foundation is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to planting trees. It updated its climate map in 2006, using data from 1991 to 2005.
Its map showed a significant northward movement of warming trends across the nation.
"The USDA's new map reflects our map in many ways," says Nelson, director of marketing communications. "We updated ours because we were getting many calls from our members saying the old map wasn't right anymore. The data was pretty clear then. It was saying, why not try new things?"

Actually as an aside I get so frustrated when people who don't earn a wage, or are stay at home mums or Dads or whatever...are considered to have 'heaps of time on their hands', because they don't go out to work !!!!! I am busier now than ever, in fact I can't remember when I sat down during the day and read a book !!!!!
We need to start valuing our stay at home parents more in this country. It is one of the most important jobs that a person could have....I reckon !

I love music! And I love traveling too. I've sold all of my possessions, bought a sailboat, and sailed through the Panama Canal, Colombia and the Caribbean with my husband. But after plugging a hole in the sailboat in the middle of the ocean with a wine cork, I realized working in the music business was a little safer endeavor. I love all kinds of music, love to go to concerts, love to create funky landscaping, love to do anything outdoors, and love my two dogs.

PHOTO identification cards will now be free for seniors and carers in NSW.
The move, announced by the state government on Tuesday, will mean around 200,000 NSW residents on Centrelink carers allowances or with NSW Seniors Cards will be eligible for free NSW Photo Cards.
Minister for Ageing and Disability Services Andrew Constance said he hoped the saving would ease the cost of living burden on the state's seniors and carers as they deserved it.
Roads Minister Duncan Gay said the free card was available only to eligible seniors and carers who did not have a NSW driver's licence.
The card previously cost $48 for five years.
Eligible carers and Seniors Card holders may apply for their free Photo Card at any Roads and Maritime Services registry.
Providing the free cards is expected to cost the NSW government around $1 million over five years.

Principles of Venting
How will the drain be vented? That's the first question to answer as you plan for plumbing a new appliance or an addition to your system. When developing a plumbing system plan, you may choose from several venting types; each option may present problems or complications. Before finalizing a plan have the venting scheme approved by the local plumbing inspector.
Vent types
A true vent is a vertical pipe attached to a drain line that travels through the roof with no water running through it. If a fixture is close to the stack and on the top floor, the upper part of the stack serves nicely as a vent. Many fixtures are not so conveniently located, however, and other solutions must be found.
A revent pipe, also called an auxiliary vent, attaches to the drain line near the fixture and runs up and over to the main vent. It may attach directly behind the fixture or to the horizontal drain line.
If two fixtures are on opposite sides of a wall, they may tie into the stack with a sanitary cross; this is called a common vent and can be found on back-to-back sinks.
When a fixture is close enough to a stack, a wet vent may be allowed by code. In the case of a tub that is close to a stack, its drain may empty into a pipe that also serves as a vent.
For a freestanding sink code may allow a loop vent. If reventing is difficult and wet venting isn't allowed, you may have to install a separate vent pipe through the roof.
An air admittance valve (AAV) opens to let air in when waste drains, then gravity closes it to keep sewer gases from escaping back into the room. Codes in many localities allow these relatively new devices to take the place of vent lines. Depending on the size of the unit and any code restrictions, AAVs can be used to vent multiple fixtures. Check codes to make sure they permit AAVs.
The critical distance
When you're remodeling your plumbing system, can you install a wet vent, or do you have to install a revent or a separate vent? Finding the answer can involve complicated calculations, based on formulas that can vary from one locale to another. The size of the pipe that codes require, the type of fixture you want to install, and the number of fixtures that are already wet vented on the same line are three factors that determine the critical distance -- how far the fixture can be from the vent pipe. Measure the length of the pipes carefully and consult a plumbing inspector to determine whether wet venting is possible.
Installing vent pipes
Vent pipes, often narrower than drainpipes, need not slope like drainpipes. Normally they run level or plumb, unless there is an obstacle to work around.
Vent pipes must be installed so they stay dry. This means that they should emerge from the top of the drainpipe, either straight vertically or at no less than a 45-degree angle from horizontal, so that water cannot back up into them.
The horizontal portion of a revent pipe must be at least 6 inches above the fixture's flood level -- the highest point to which water can rise. (On a sink the flood level is the sink rim or overflow hole.)
The main drain
Plan drain lines to minimize the possibility of clogs. The general rule is that smaller drainpipes -- 1-1/4 inches for bathroom sinks and 1-1/2 inches for kitchen sinks, for instance -- lead to larger branch drains. These in turn lead to the main stack, which is the largest pipe of all -- typically 4 inches. Because the main stack is also vertical, it will rarely clog.
The main stack leads down into the ground, then out toward the municipal sewer. The underground horizontal pipe, or main drain, that runs toward the sewer line can sometimes get clogged, especially if it is an old drain made of clay pipe.Typical Venting Alternatives
A true vent pipe must remain dry while water runs down the drain. A wet vent also serves as a drain line but is large enough that it never actually fills with water.Venting with an Air Admittance Valve (AAV)
Window framing in this wall prevents installation of vent line, so an Air Admittance Valve (AAV) is installed instead.Other Venting Options
Here are other common ways to tie vents into a stack. Check local codes to see which methods are accepted in your area, then choose the method that requires the least number of holes or notches in studs.
