After a long, long debate this spring, I've taken the Ions out for putting. Maybe I'll replace them with a firmer version down the road, but the stiff Wizards are just what I'm used to. I also started messing around with an Axis. So far it's more stable than I was expecting, making it more difficult to play Rosedale (a course with tons of left to right shots), but it took me time to figure out the Ion and I assume this one will be the same.
3x 168 Medium Wizards (2 are new, one is thrashed, for putting, short approaches)
1x 175 Medium Ion (short drives)
1x 175 Medium Annode (short drives)
1x 177 Axis (midrange)
1x 174 Opto XXX (utility and midrange)
1x 175 D FD (turnover fairway shots, low power shots)
1x 175 C FD (most fairway shots)
2x 175 S PD (1 new, 1 broken in, for fairway distance flex and straight power shots)
2x 175 P PD (1 broken in, 1 thrashed, for controlled distance and rollers)
1x 175 C PD (for fairway hyzers and wind shots)
2x 171 Z Nuke (for distance)
1x 175 S PD2 (for wind)

This past weekend I tried something a little different that I've heard for years is an awesome habit to start. I planned our meals for the week, went grocery shopping (those are both things I've always done weekly), and then I fully PREPPED every meal that we're going to eat this week! You might be wondering why I decided to try this now. And that reason is because I just started a new job! That's right! I thought some of you long-time followers might appreciate sharing in the happy news with me. Now that I'm a working lady I need to be much more intentional about how I use my time and how I plan things out. Last week (my first week) we ate quite a bit of takeout, and that's not a habit that I want to let sink in. So food prep it is!
Here's our "menu" for the week:
Breakfasts: Overnight oats, Banana Muffins
Lunches: French Lentil Soup (for me), Chicken Cesar Salad (for Jason), Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls
Dinners: Shrimp and Tomato Pasta (for Jason)/Roasted Vegetable Pasta (for me), Chicken Jambalaya (for Jason)/Vegetable Tamales (for me), Eggpant Parmesan served with brown rice spaghetti and salad, Beef Tacos (for Jason)/Black Bean Tacos (for me)
Some things I made to completion so that all they'll need during the week is a quick reheat. For other things I just chopped up all the ingredients to eliminate prep time later on. Here's the work I actually did yesterday:
- made lentil soup
- made eggplant parmesan (up until baking step)
- baked banana muffins
- made overnight oats
- chopped veggies and meat for jambalaya
- marinated and grilled chicken for cesar salads
- washed and cut lettuce for salads
- washed and cut up fruit for lunch or snacks
- make filling for spring rolls
- cut up vegetables for pasta
It took a good chunk of my Sunday but I'm SO glad that I did it and I'm hoping to make this a weekly thing. It'll keep us eating better and keep our spending from getting out of control. Just because I'm working now doesn't mean I'm ready to give up on home cooking! Far from it.
Some of these recipes I'm testing and tweaking for my next Facebook challenge group! Email me or shoot me a message on social media if you're interested in joining, I still have a few spots left!
See you later this week with a new recipe!

GSA Administrator Martha Johnson Views Midwest's Largest Solar Panel Array, Talks to Local Leaders about the Potential for Solar Technology in the Midwest
Lessons learned from local project to aid solar expansion, create jobs.
July 13, 2011
Gail Montenegro, 312-202-2905
INDIANAPOLIS – Today, GSA Administrator Martha N. Johnson toured Indianapolis' Maj. Gen. Emmett J. Bean Federal Center rooftop solar array and led a round-table discussion on the potential for solar power in the Midwest. Bean is home to the Midwest's largest rooftop collection of solar panels, including a solar test lab demonstrating how four different innovative solar technologies will perform under Midwestern weather conditions.
"Across the country, GSA is investing in innovative technologies to save taxpayer dollars and invest in the jobs of the 21st century," said Johnson. "The Bean Federal Center's 6,000 panel installation, the largest in the Midwest, and solar test lab provide a unique opportunity to rigorously test and analyze the performance of emerging photovoltaic technologies that will enhance our understanding of solar technologies and contribute to decision-making nationwide."
Participants toured the building's rooftop solar panel installation – the largest rooftop array in the Midwest, with 6,152 photovoltaic panels generating nearly two megawatts of renewable energy, offsetting 7 percent of the 1.6 million-square-foot building's electricity use.
A part of the solar array is an innovative solar test lab. The test lab is the result of a partnership between GSA and the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories that will monitor the performance of four innovative solar technologies and assess their performance and practicality in the Midwestern climate. A mini weather station will measure and collect temperature, sunshine, and other data to help analyze the output of the varying test panels. This project will deliver reliable, objective data on which photovoltaic systems work best in the climate typical of the Midwest – hot, humid summers; cold winters; frequent cloud cover; and high precipitation.
Following the tour, Johnson joined area representatives from business, academia, and government to take part in a panel discussion, titled "Solar Power in the Midwest," about the use of solar technology in the Midwest as a source of energy and green jobs.
"What we've heard here today is that solar technology and other clean-energy technologies are quickly becoming the backbone of the 21st century economy," said Johnson. "In addition to supporting manufacturing jobs in solar panel factories, investment in solar technology creates highly skilled, green-collar careers in construction, design, and installation that are central to America's energy independence and the continued strength of our nation's clean-energy economy."
Panelists included representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, Sandia National Laboratories, Shiel Sexton, Dewberry, Indianapolis Power & Light Co., SunPower Corp., the Indianapolis Airport Authority, and the Indiana Renewable Energy Association.
The Bean Federal Center was built in 1953 as the Army Finance Center at the former Fort Benjamin Harrison and was acquired by GSA in 1996. The three-story building houses the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in its 1.6 million square feet of space.
As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 215,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services making up approximately 14 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen engagement; and,
• Promoting responsible use of federal resources through development of governmentwide policies ranging from federal travel to property and management practices.

L'Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Conditioner Reviews
greatLike the previous review mentioned I see different tones in my hair, definately a lot of blonde that I rarely see any more (my hair has gotten darker and darker over the years and I died it "blonde" but really it's a deep brown) but after using this my hair looked a lot lighter which is perfect, I will definately be buying this again, it made my hair so soft and smells wonderful — 7 years, 9 months agoBon_Bon | 522 reviews

Light conditionerI used the EverPure moisturizing conditioner after washing my hair with their matching shampoo. My hair is highlighted and a bit frizzy, but also damaged due to regular swimming.

OkayI'm all for a sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner line and was anticipating being able to purchase it at a corner store instead of a salon at twice the price.

Tried this and love itI color my hair and it's usually quite dry and dull and the color tends to fade quickly. I tried this line because it's natural and sulfate-free. I'm really glad I did!

Pharrell Says to Expect the Unexpected on Miley Cyrus' New Album
Miley Cyrus has said her upcoming album will have a "dirty South hip-hop feel," but one of her collaborators, Pharrell, isn't revealing too much about. He basically just says that the world is going to be surprised!
"Her sound right now is her personality," Pharrell explained to MTV. And let's be real, Cyrus' personality is a little unpredictable — head shaving, crotch grabbing, a little try-hard (at least on the surface), dog loving … Be more specific, bro!
"That's what we've been aiming for in the studio, and that's what's been coming out and that's what it's been sounding like," he continued. "It's interesting. Her voice is a very powerful one, and you know, you just have to hear it to know that and to understand it," he shrugged. "It's nowhere near what it is that you think."
Pharrell isn't the only hip-hop artist Cyrus is working with. She recently hit the studio with Meek Mill and was snapped with both Pharrell and Tyler, the Creator of Odd Future. We bet this will sound … interesting!

I find that if I do metta meditation for a longer period of time than usual couple of minutes before the vedana-sati practice I have been doing lately I tend to get very emotional, sometimes even to the point of tearing up
It always feels very odd and over-emotional, so I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
The technique is this: "May I be well" and other good intentions towards my self, those close to me, and then the whole world. Then coming back to myself and pervading good intentions in all directions as in the four quarters brahmavihara chant (don't know what it is called, sorry). Then I try to keep a thought-less attention on the metta whilst radiating it to all beings.

Hi all
I'm very weak on D.O, and basically am content with that situation because I feel it's so far over my head that trying to get a handle on it right now would not lead to proper understanding. The day will come when I am ready to get into it.
But I'm curious about one link these days, and especially as it is taught by Thanissaro Bhikkhu in a few of his talks. He talks about micro and macro bhava (becoming, or existence in B.B's translations.) Macro bhava being rebirth and micro being all the "thought worlds" we create from moment to moment. This makes sense to me, but as grateful as I am to him for his clear, motivating teaching (especially with respect to sila, avoiding harmful behaviour etc) there are some aspects of the way Thanissaro Bhikkhu teaches on the higher teachings that I suspect (that's all I can do) are not quite kosher, so I'd like to ask you about this micro and macro bhava and if it makes sense from the canon. I guess it's not possible to answer this without going into the 3 lifetime vs. time-free continuum D.O issue, which is fine, though I find it difficult..

Detailed Description:
Fractures of the proximal femur and hip are relatively common injuries in adults.
According to the Evans and the AO Classification systems, the fracture can be described as stable after reduction or not according to the direction of the fracture lines and the comminution of the medial cortex or the lateral wall of the proximal femur.
Biomechanically, nails allow for stable anatomical fixation of more comminuted fractures without shortening the abductor moment arm or changing the proximal femoral anatomy. These devices provide fracture stability by virtue of allowing the lateral aspect of the head and neck to come to rest against the nail in the medullary canal.
For fractures with comminuted medial cortex or involvement of the lateral cortex (AO 2.2 - AO 3.3) it is advisable to fixate with a more stable fixation device such as intramedullary proximal femur nail Several intramedullary devices are currently in use for the treatment of the intertrochanteric fractures. In our institution, for the unstable fracture we use either one of the intramedullary devices manufactured by Synthes (Proximal femoral nail - anti-rotation = PFNA) or by Smith&Nephew (Trochanteric Antegrade Nail = InterTan).
Each of these nails allow compression over the Nail\Blade with the intramedullary stability.
There are 3 main complications in the treatment of intramedullary devices : (1) varus collapse of the head/neck, (2) uncontrolled shortening of the neck, and (3)femoral shaft fractures at the tip of the nail The InterTan, unlike other devices, allows for immediate intraoperative compression of the principal fracture fragments through linear compression combined with rotational stability secondary to its unique geometry and mechanism of action.
The mechanical stability of the fracture after the fixation is reflected by the weight bearing the patient can hold . In order to find weather there is a mechanical difference between the two devices we would like to perform a test measuring the weight bearing after fixation of intertrochanteric fractures comparing the pain and impression of mechanical stability in the two devices.
The method to test the amount of weight bearing would be using the "SmartStep gait system" TM (Andante Medical Devices Ltd), an innovative biofeedback and monitoring system that records and analyzes key gait parameters and provides instantaneous and accurate audio and visual feedback.

To IND:
We get two borderline good starters who would GREATLY help us out with our offense. Kevin Martin actually doesn't take bad shots unlike Danny and he gets to the line damn near 10 times a game.
To HOU:
Caron Butler
Dominique Jones
Solo (filler)
Indy 1st
They clear more cap space so they can start their rebuild since this season is in the crapper for them (17-22). They get 4 solid young guys in Ajinca, Hans, Stephenson, and Jones.. As well as a first. Caron and Solo are just fill-in guys since Caron is out for the season. They are really the X Factor in this trade.. I'm not sure if they can get better offers than this or not.
They clear Martin, Scola, and Miller's contracts (something close to $22 million)
To DAL:
Danny Granger
Brad Miller
This might be Dallas' last year of serious contention. Their window is closing. They badly need help since Caron Butler went out. They get a top scorer that could hopefully put them as a top team in the West again.
Keep in mind that Dirk and Kidd are getting old and their window is quickly closing, we need talent that actually fits like a glove in Martin and Scola, and Houston is blowing their stuff up and want to cut salary while getting pieces.

California apple growers expect to start gala production in the last week of July.
The niche deal fills the gap between dwindling imports and Washington's new crop a month or so later.
Fruit size on California galas will be up this year but overall volume will be light — as it was in 2012 — said Rich Sambado, sales manager for Stockton, Calif.-based Primavera Marketing Inc.
"Quality is good and size is better, but it will be modest tonnage again," Sambado said.
He's noticed a similar volume trend on cherries and walnuts, but the causes aren't clear.
The 100-degree temperatures that hit the state in early July did not appear to damage the crop.
"Galas generally make their push on size about 10 days prior to harvest," Sambado said July 15.
"That's starting now and it's going to be warm again this weekend. It's not a big deal, but it's definitely not welcome. It can advance maturity without advancing color because the tree shuts down a bit."
"This heat wave has put everything back a little," said Andy Poteete, salesman for Bakersfield, Calif.-based Bidart Bros. Marketing Inc.
"The trees get so hot they just kind of sit there."
Primavera Marketing expects to start galas around July 24 in small volumes initially and finish by Labor Day weekend. Granny smiths and early fujis will start around Aug. 26. Cripps pink usually starts about mid-October.
"The pipeline is fairly empty on galas," Sambado said.
"Washington doesn't have a lot of old crop — a bit more than last year, but it's an insignificant amount. That's even truer for the Chilean and New Zealand deals. There's some around, but a new crop gala grabs a lot of attention with our top retailers."
"We have an active opportunity for the month of August," he said.
Chilean imports of royal galas sizes 70 and 80 entering at Miami went for $24 for an 18-kilogram carton tray pack on July 15, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Fruit entering at Philadelphia ran $34-36. The USDA did not include galas in its report on Washington apple prices.
Primavera and Bidart Bros. Marketing account for about 90% of California apple volume, Sambado said.
Shipments from the state for the 2012-13 season were near 2 million boxes, down from the usual 2.6 million to 2.8 million. Weather extremes were to blame, according to the California Apple Commission.

With cash-strapped Canyon Lake looking to shed spending ahead of crafting its 2013-14 budget this summer, officials are beginning to look for savings in public safety services contracts that account for about 70 percent of the city's expenditures.
According to the budget for this fiscal year, which ends June 30, the city is looking to spend $1.2 million for fire service and $1.3 for law enforcement service, equating to $2.5 million of the city's overall $3.5 million budget.
In March, Police Cpt. John Hill laid out the bang the city gets for its buck in a meeting with Councilmen Randy Bonner and Tim Brown. In addition, the City Council called two special closed-session meetings to discuss its contract with CalFire, citing threats to public services as the reason to hold the discussion behind closed doors.
Talking about reducing the level of service provided indeed constitutes a threat to public services, Interim City Manager Richard Rowe said. The need to consider those measures, of course, was amplified when his December forecast -- although admittedly based on conservative property and sales tax projections -- revealed Canyon Lake's reserve fund would run dry within four years without a new source of income.
"Our target is to reduce costs," Bonner said. "We're trying to maintain the highest priority -- public safety. But are there some opportunities to find ways to maintain that No. 1 priority and at the same time find savings?"
City officials hope so.
Although the city did not take specific action in its two special meetings, Councilwoman Nancy Horton said talks with Fire Chief John Hawkins have produced a number of options that the city hopes to discuss with Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries in the near future.
Horton declined to discuss the nature of those options, but cost-saving alternatives discussed in the past have included:
- Reducing fire engine staffing from three members to two, although Horton said fire officials have balked at that notion;
- Partnering with neighboring cities to share fire services, which could include coverage from stations positioned just outside the city in Quail Valley and at the soon to open Rosetta Canyon station in Lake Elsinore.
The second option could allow Canyon Lake's Station 60 to focus on paramedic calls, which traditionally account for 70 to 85 percent of the calls, Horton said. Fire officials, however, told Canyon Lake's public safety committee earlier this year that splitting up paramedic and fire personnel would leave engines ill-equipped to handle fire calls that required medical attention for burn victims.
Horton said the city's attempt to slash its fire services spending -- projected at about $1.2 million for 2012-13 for the eight staff members at Station 60 -- would come before the public.
"We will still have fire coverage; whether it's the same remains to be seen," Horton said. " … I think it's going to be pretty hot. Police and fire have been two hot-button issues and people are going to want to know what's going on."
Although Canyon Lake is about to enter the second year for a four-year contract for fire services, the terms allow the city to change the levels of services provided with a 120-day notice.
Meanwhile, Canyon Lake's five-year contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, set to expire in July 2016, provides little wiggle room.
The city's contract with the Sheriff's Department, which calls for one deputy on duty at all times, was projected to cost $1.3 million. That contract includes access to all of the Sheriff's Department's resources.
Although the state inhibits general law cities such as Canyon Lake from replacing or supplementing police services through private security firms, as discussed in January, city officials say they will continue to analyze their options as they attempt to protect reserve funds projected to shrink from $3.3 million to $138,000 by the 2016-17 fiscal year.
"(The price for police and fire services) continues to increase," Horton said. "If we continue to go the way we've been going, we won't have any reserves to take $400,000 to $500,000 to pay for them."

John Merrick, the champion of the PGA Tour's Northern Trust at Riviera last month, was still just a college kid at UCLA when he played a practice round at San Diego Country Club in the early 2000s.
The mission was to prepare for the prestigious Pacific Coast Amateur, and Merrick and his Bruins teammate Travis Johnson lit up San Diego's oldest private track with scores in the mid-60s. Merrick walked away smiling and offered to head pro John Osborne that the numbers could go deep into the red for Pacific Coast.
The beauty of San Diego CC is that, at nearly 92 years old, it can muscle up like a teenager. With its big, fast, undulating greens, the test can be drastically altered in one mowing. The guys who played in the Pacific Coast got a completely different – and far tougher – examination than Merrick saw.
"I think the winning score was 1-under," Osborne recalled with a laugh. "You see things like that out here."
San Diego is a club that regularly gives back by hosting top-level tournaments, and another one arrives on Monday and Tuesday with the sixth edition of the Lamkin Grips San Diego Classic. Thirteen college teams, including San Diego State, USD and Pt. Loma Nazarene, will compete over 54 holes. Admission is free to the public.
Last year, Washington won the team title at 6-over and in one of the greatest wins of his career, USD's Alex Ching captured individual honors at 2-under. In a field that included some of the best players in college golf, the best score was 68 and there were only six scores out of 246 in the 60s.
"Truly, I like to say that San Diego Country Club offers the setting of a U.S. Open," said USD head coach Cory Scoggin. "They'll have the greens running at 13 on the Stimpmeter and they'll be firm. These are going to be the closest to U.S. Open-style greens that the players will see in the field – ever."
For many of the players in the tournament it also will serve as a preview of the one of the oldest amateur events in the country, the SCGA Championship, to be played at San Diego in July.
"Good clubs should give back," Osborne said. "It's been fun to watch these kids develop and you end up forming relationships with a lot of different people when you do this. I get to watch these kids and five years later they show up at tour events. There are a million tremendous joys in hosting it."
Osborne got a first-hand look at Merrick's game a few years ago when they played together in a U.S. Open local qualifier at San Diego. Osborne proudly recalls that he was beating Merrick through 14 holes, "then he went low and I went high." Merrick birdied the last four and was the medalist with a 68.
This year's Classic field has some of the best players in the college game, including two from the top 10 of Golfweek's watch list for the Haskins Award – NCAA golf's top individual honor. TCU sophomore Julien Brun has two college victories this year and already has won on the European Challenge Tour, and Missouri's Jace Long has won four times in seven starts.
Scoggin and SDSU coach Ryan Donovan work together to stage the tournament, which is made possible with the $20,000 of support of Bob Lamkin, the San Diego CC member and founder of Lamkin Grips. The goal is to continue to grow the event into one of the best in the country.
The two coaches also figure their own teams should excel in the tournament, given that the squads regularly practice at San Diego.
"We should have an advantage," Donovan said. "Now it's execution."
Added Scoggin: "I'm sure the guys feel a little bit of extra pressure, expecting to perform on their home track."
Neither of San Diego's Division I teams had a stellar fall season, though the Toreros did capture the Cullum Invitational in October. In two spring outings, USD has placed fourth and eighth. Scottish sophomore Grant Forrest is leading the way after seizing the Scottish Amateur title in the summer.
The Aztecs, coming off a five-win season and their first-ever appearance in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championships, are working to find an identity after the loss of most of their key players. SDSU's best finish this spring is a fifth last week at the North Ranch Intercollegiate.
"Talent-wise, I'm very confident with this group," Donovan said. "Now they have to buy into the system and trust it."

Just before sunrise Tuesday, as the moody skies above Vacaville took on a flame-colored hue, a crowd watched awestruck as the community Christmas tree was installed at the Three Flags Monument on Main Street.
Photos: View a slide show of the 2012 Merriment On Main tree
It was a first for Ray and Mary Summitt, who huddled near the Opera House to get a good look at the action.
"I've always wanted to see this," said Mary, snapping photos of the event. "All the time we've lived here, we've never seen this."
After 70 years of residency, her husband pitched in, he figured it was time they get a good look at the installation of the tree before next week's Merriment on Main celebration.
"This is pretty neat," he admitted, as a hook from Summit Crane Company was attached to the 60-foot white fir and the tree began its journey from the back of a Carlton Burney Co. truck to its perch near the CreekWalk.
The tree's arrival from Burney marks the 30th anniversary of the Merriment season and pretty much kicks off the holiday season, at least in Vacaville.
The affair had a magical feel, with the full-bodied tree almost dancing in midair as it twirled gracefully into place.
Up, up, up it went before a few adjustments were made, then the tree was lowered down, down, down into the capable grip of a Vacaville Public Works crew of about six. Together, they guided the fir into its holding place in the ground, hammering in a few stakes for support and then trimming excess branches for aesthetics.
"This is the part of it right there, the whole thing," enthused Ray, as the 6,200-pound behemoth found its home. "That's fantastic."
As a light mist fell, Jennifer Ritchie and her granddaughter, 2 1/2-year-old Jazmyn Sergent, hovered nearby. Her eyes wide with glee, the tot gestured excitedly at the tree and the various trucks involved in the event. Both, apparently, are favorites.
"Last year was her first year," said Ritchie of the child's Merriment experience. "I thought she should see this. It would bring a lot more meaning."
For Steve Treasure with the Public Works maintenance crew, Merriment season is a great time.
"This is my 11th year," he said. "It's always a fun morning. We're really blessed to do this."
Treasure said he enjoys Merriment on Main and the fact that it's still around after 30 years is a testament to its significance to Vacaville.
"It shows that it's worth having, the community wants it," he said. "The place is packed. You can't even move. And anything that brings the community out is a good thing."

I know very little about this cash register. It does say it is a national cash register made in Dayton, Ohio and I do know the serial number is 4848022. I have spent alot of time trying to find one that looks anything like this and have had no luck. It has a plug in so I know its not as nice or old. I know the bottom part and drawer is original because the serial number and model number match on both the bottom of the drawer and the front of the register. I kinda think the top part is not original, but i really have no idea. It does turn on and works good enough to open the door. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Bob Stoops has given his opinion of Dominique Whaley's progress every time he's talked to the media during fall camp.
Will the Sooners' best tailback a year ago be the same player he was before that terrible
"It's hard to say is he truly 100 percent?" said Stoops most recently. "He sure looks it. I don't know if he can tell you. He feels the same, he looks the same and I think he's pretty much there ready to go."
If there's anyone who wants Saturday to get here so everyone can make their own judgment on how far he's come, it's Whaley.
"They had to go find me," said Whaley, who was trying to hide out in the hopes of avoiding the media last Tuesday. "I have a lot of confidence in my ankle even if there are some things that inhibit or take away from what I can do. Who's really playing a full season 100 percent anyway? You know what I mean?
"I'm all go. I feel good, I'm running good, I've got all my speed back. Everything."
The staff has been careful with Whaley during the fall. They've had to hold him back from doing more than he's wanted to do.
The biggest thing for Whaley is that he's not Roy Finch. His game is more about being the Sooners' sledgehammer at running back. There isn't a lot of flare to Whaley's game. He's this team's wrecking ball.
He's ready to tear something or someone down Saturday in El Paso. Fans are just as ready to see him do it.
If there is anything that has made this offense better this fall, it's the arrival of Justin Brown. If Brown were a recruit, Landry Jones would give him five stars. His three years of major college experience has been a major boost for this team's receiving corps.
"He's played a lot of football, so he's used to running around and he's used to working off of coverage," said Landry Jones recently of Brown. "We've actually built a lot of rapport and been able to get on the same page most of every route."
Brown has gone through a whirlwind of emotions and logistics since arriving to Norman. He was still getting settled in his apartment halfway through fall camp and is just now getting settled in.
But his experience is something that can't be replaced heading into the 2012 season. How that translates into catches and big plays, we'll have to wait to find out. Brown will at least keep the Sooners from having to rely too heavily on another true freshman to go along with Trey Metoyer.
That could be huge for Jones in the end.
The most serious issues early in camp are still worth keeping an eye on at the start of the 2012 campaign. Ben Habern and Tyler Evans being out of action are still big factors for this team.
Even if Adam Shead and Bronson Irwin become stars this season, the Sooners still have a major problem with quality depth. Nila Kasitati will be counted on to be that extra player on the offensive line's interior.
All reports suggest Shead, Gabe Ikard and Irwin held up well and provided plenty of running lanes for OU backs this fall. But we've seen injuries and rebuilt lines go wrong for the Sooners. In 2005, the Sooners came out of the gates with Adrian Peterson and a loss to TCU on Owen Field.
In 2009, Brody Eldridge was forced to move inside on the offensive line as injuries crippled that line. Sam Bradford ended up knocked out of OU's first game against BYU and that year ended up being a disappointment. The Sooners couldn't run the ball behind that line and were forced into a five-wide pass happy offense.
Things shouldn't be that bad in 2012, but we've seen this happen enough to be concerned heading into the season. Injuries just can't happen.
The defensive tackle spot was already a question mark before Stacy McGee was declared indefinitely suspended by Bob Stoops last week. Will David King be the answer or do the Sooners have to have more production from freshmen Jordan Phillips?
There is little depth on the defensive line, especially on the interior.
It's hard to argue any coach has been welcomed back to Norman like Mike Stoops. He's the first of the original staff to come back to Norman after leaving for a head coaching job at Arizona.
Eight years later, Stoops is back to take over a secondary that was burned beyond recognition a year ago. Now he's tasked with reshaping the makeup, both physically and mentally, of a unit which must be better if the Sooners hope to compete for a championship.
"Ultimately it's about winning," said Stoops. "Statistics go out the window. We play twice as many plays as everyone else, too. The common sense is people are gonna have more yards or more plays. It comes down to making stops on third down and getting your butt off the field; that will stop it in a hurry."
Stoops plans to get more stops by putting more defensive backs on the field than this team has done in the past.
He's worked hard on developing a nickel back position that will play a bigger role on the defensive side of the ball. Gabe Lynn won that job coming out of camp, but Julian Wilson is nipping at his heels.
Tony Jefferson's move to free safety and Aaron Colvin's move to corner are the other big changes heading into this week's opener at UTEP.
If Stoops can't keep people from running behind his secondary, game one will be considered a major step forward.
Trey Metoyer gets glossed over a bit, but he's the guy everyone will be most impressed by after Saturday's opener has concluded. Metoyer gives Landry Jones a big, physical presence he's never had since he's been the quarterback at Oklahoma.
I'm not sure Sam Bradford ever had a player like Metoyer outside of Jermaine Gresham at tight end.
Damien Williams at running back is likely to be the first new face Sooner fans will see at that position Saturday. While Sterling Shepard and Durron Neal could help reshape OU's special teams and receiving corps this weekend.
Don't forget Lacoltan Bester as a new face among the wide receivers as well.
Defensive end Charles Tapper is likely the first newcomer you'll see on the defensive side of the ball outside of defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.
Michael Onuoha won't be far behind Tapper as a young defensive end either.
Mike Stoops says he'd like to play Gary Simon Saturday at cornerback as well should the Sooners be fortunate enough to get a big lead.
Back on the offensive side of the ball, look out for tight end Geneo Grissom as well as Taylor McNamara.
It might be tough to see Alex Ross this weekend in El Paso. Cale Gundy has tabbed Brennan Clay, Dom Whaley and Damien Williams as his top three running backs coming out of camp. As of last week, he wasn't sure if he wanted to play freshmen Ross or David Smith.

WATSONVILLE -- The cat was injured, dragging a hind leg. Still, she ran off as Katy Hunt approached.
The Watsonville resident, who spotted the black and white feline in a field near Pleasant Valley and Hames roads on Dec. 28, said she couldn't leave the cat to suffer, especially with a cold storm approaching. So she called Project Purr for help.
"They were amazing," Hunt said. "They totally stepped up for this cat."
Project Purr is dedicated to improving the lives of feral cats and reducing their numbers through spaying and neutering programs.
The organization provided Hunt with a trap and directions on how to use it. Hunt set it up and baited it with food.
"Within 25 minutes, she came crawling in," Hunt said. "She was very hungry."
She also was severely injured, her left paw crushed, probably from being hit by a car, Hunt said.
Project Purr arranged for the cat to be treated at the Animal Hospital of Soquel and footed the $300 bill for emergency care. Hunt said she's recovering but may lose a paw or leg.
Initially, rescuers thought the cat was feral, but after spending the past few days with her, they think she's a lost pet though she does not have a microchip.
Despite the stress of her injury and being in strange surroundings, the cat hasn't shown any aggression, said Lynne Achterberg.
"It's a very sweet domestic that's had a lot of love in its life," Achterberg said. "It's either lost or abandoned."
Hunt said the owners of a nearby stable told her a little girl and her father had been looking for a lost black and white cat about six weeks ago.
Achterberg said the group has noticed an uptick in cats abandoned in the country in the past couple of years, probably because of the tough economy. People may think cats have a better shot in the country than in a shelter, but that's often not the case.
If Hunt hadn't come along, the injured cat wouldn't have survived, she said.
"It was in a downward spiral," Achterberg said. "Katy spotting it and not turning away, and saying it's not my kitty, she's truly a good Samaritan."
Rescuers are hopeful someone will come forward to claim the cat, who is believed to be about 5 years old. In the meantime, she needs additional medical care, costs that Achterberg said Project Purr could use help covering.

The idea of giving Louisiana's public colleges and universities more control over tuition got a mostly lukewarm response from state legislators Tuesday at the State Capitol.
State Commissioner of Higher Education Jim Purcell laid out a number of initiatives he said could get Louisiana's higher education system out of the doldrums as he testified before the Joint Legislative Committee on Education.
But with many of Purcell's proposals needing overwhelming support from both the Louisiana House and state Senate to pass, state Rep. Thomas Carmody said he agreed with some of the plans but described them as unlikely without a large-scale change of heart from the Legislature and support from Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"If we have to have a two-thirds vote in the Legislature, we can't do any of this," Carmody, R-Shreveport, said. "We'd need the political will and the administration behind it."
Legislators will return to Baton Rouge for the start of the legislative session April 8.
After the meeting, Purcell said he wasn't discouraged.
"I still think it's early," Purcell said. "In the end, we have to find a solution ... but our solutions are getting limited."
Purcell was referring to five straight years of state budget cuts to higher education that the state Board of Regents has tallied at more than $625 million.
While schools have raised tuition roughly $331 million and cut staff by more than 6 percent to offset some of the missing revenue, Purcell said the colleges and universities are in "dire straits."
Select schools in some of the fastest-growing parts of the state — Baton Rouge, Hammond and Lake Charles — have seen their budgets cut between 43 and 52 percent since 2008, he said.
LSU in Baton Rouge is at the low end of that range, having seen a 43 percent decline totaling more than $102 million in the past five years, he said.
"If our intent is to build a flagship school rated much higher than it is now, this isn't the appropriate approach," Purcell said.
Among the several paths forward, he said, schools need to seek further efficiencies in staffing, direct their research toward the needs of businesses and design coursework to meet the needs of industry.
The Legislature could help by granting schools authority to "become more market driven," Purcell said.
Louisiana is the only state where the less,' Legislature controls tuition.
Purcell's plans include giving schools the ability to adjust tuition up to the Southern regional average; allow institutions to charge more for high-cost, high demand programs; and give them the power to charge per credit hour. Currently, students are only charged for the first 12 credit hours they take in a semester.
But giving colleges increased control over tuition appeared to be a nonstarter with many of the legislators who attended the committee meeting.
Sate Rep. Dee Richard, No Party-Thibodaux, said a higher priority for him would be to merge some of the state's 14 four-year schools. Without that, Richard said he "won't be able to support any tuition increases."
State Rep. Cameron Henry, R-New Orleans, seized on a recurring theme of higher education administrators wanting to raise tuition to roughly the same as their peers in the south.
"Getting to that average is probably not attainable," Henry said. "But we can look at how much it costs to run an institution to the best of our ability."
Henry said it's hard for him to sell the people in his district on the need for more money based on what other states do.
"People ask me 'Why do we care what Tennessee does? If we can turn on the lights for less, let's turn them on for " Henry said.
Purcell countered that Louisiana schools can "survive" at their current levels but will need additional revenue in order to "thrive."
Senate Education Committee Chairman Conrad Appel, R-Metairie, downplayed Purcell's calls for more tuition authority saying he was more concerned about performance.
"Not to say that funding is not critical, but we want more of the discussion to be about performance," Appel said. "I don't believe we're setting the world on fire in terms of achievement."
After the meeting, Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin emailed reporters what he called a "fact sheet" that included what he called "key points," such as increased graduation rates and $700 million in higher education infrastructure spending, during the Jindal administration. No one in the Jindal administration testified before the committee.

Tuber who went missing on Clackamas River turns up at home
CARVER, Ore. - A man who was presumed missing after tubing in the Clackamas River is safe at home, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Bryton Schmidt, 21, was floating the river with a friend Sunday evening when it got dark and the two got separated. They had launched from the Barton Park boat ramp around 4 p.m. and planned to float to Carver Park.
Schmidt was last seen walking through shallow water with a partially-deflated tube. He did not have a life jacket and deputies said he was reportedly very intoxicated.
Searchers set out to find Schmidt after getting a 9-1-1 call around 8:50 p.m. Sunday. They spent a few hours looking for the man and then planned to return to the river at 8 a.m. on Monday.
Monday morning, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office reported that Schmidt was at his home in Battle Ground, Wash. A couple who was driving along Highway 224 near Carver had spotted a hitchhiker around 7 a.m. and called it in because the man appeared, cold, dirty and was wearing only shorts.
Sheriff's deputies searched the area but did not find anyone. However, about 45 minutes later Schmidt called his parents to tell them he was home in Battle Ground, Wash. He is reportedly in good condition.
We stopped by Schmidt's home to find out more about what happened. The young man's father answered the door and told us they were "having a talk with Bryton." The family declined further comment.
In light of what happened, the sheriff's office wants to remind folks that the Clackamas River has dangers and alcohol should be used in moderation.
"We want people to have fun out here," said Sgt. Robert Wurps with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. "I've taken my family out here too and it is enjoyable and fun. But we do urge people to be safe and responsible because once you do consume too much, there are some dangers out there. There are some rapids, there is some depth and then there's the cold."
Alcohol has historically been a problem along this stretch of the river and last week, Clackamas County commissioners unanimously voted to allow law enforcement officials to put teeth in a law that already bans alcohol from county parks. Park officials, deputies and anyone monitoring the parks can now search a person's cooler or bag without cause. If they find any beer or other alcohol, they can kick you out of the park or give you a citation.
There would be exceptions to the searches, like if you were at the park with a camping permit or had a permit for an event. And there is one other important point - this would only apply to park land. Once you are on the river or even past the high water mark, the search rule would not apply because it is out of the county's jurisdiction.

What is a charge?
A charge is an accusation that a crime has been committed and is the starting point for the criminal justice system. Being charged does not necessarily indicate guilt; only a court can make that decision.
Charges may be brought through an:
- Arrest at a crime scene or following/during the investigation of a crime
- Arrest based on a warrant issued by a judge in response to a sworn complaint
- Arrest based on an indictment by a grand jury

How To Paint Your Rain Barrel - Tips
- Barrels have been stored for some time and the outside will need to be cleaned before priming. Soapy water and a rinse will help remove some of the transportation and storage grime. For a deeper cleaning wetting a rag with rubbing alcohol and wiping the barrel down should do the trick!
You must apply a plastic primer before applying acrylic paint.
- This is generally a spray paint. Two such brands are Krylon Fusion and Rust-Oleum* plastic spray paints. Primer or regular will work. Two cans are needed to coat a barrel.
- Before applying acrylic paint gently buff the primer paint with sandpaper to remove any gloss.
After the acrylic paint is applied, please provide at least 48 hours of
drying time before applying top coat to seal the acrylic paint. For
example, if you finish painting your barrel on March 1st, do
not apply the top coat until March 3rd.
- Two sealants that rain barrel artists have used are Krylon Fusion UV protectant spray or Rust-Oleum clear crystal.*

Non-contact level gauges rated
Published reference accuracy specifications for non-contact level gauges often do not represent the performance statements the supplier intended, because what vendors say isnt always what they mean.
By David W Spitzer, Spitzer and Boyes, LLC
LEVEL MEASUREMENT systems are used to sense the location of the interface between two or more materials in a fluid containment system. As such, level measurement systems are important and widely implemented throughout industry. The most common application of level measurement systems is to determine the inventory of a contained material. Although this may be desirable for the efficient operation and safety of the process, level measurements are also used for accounting purposes.
Level measurements can be used to keep tanks in the plant within reasonable operating limits. Tanks that become empty can potentially upset production due to the inability to feed the downstream process. They can also cause a lack of flowing material that can damage equipment, such as pumps. On the other hand, tanks that overflow can potentially create environmental hazards. Level measurements may also be used to manipulate the flow of material through the plant, such as in a sewage treatment plant where a high level in the primary collection tank would increase the flow through the entire treatment plant.
There are lots of ways to measure level. Various types of level measurement systems that are generally available are described in Table 1.
|Float, Magnetostrictive, Retracting
|Non-Mechanical with Fluid Contact
|Capacitance, Hydrostatic, Displacer, Contact Radar, Submerged Ultrasonic
|Non-Mechanical without Fluid Contact
|Laser, Non-Contact Radar, Ultrasonic
|Nuclear, Non-Contact Radar with Isolator, "Bottom-Up" Ultrasonic, Laser with Sight Glass
|Open Channel Flow Measurement
|Various technologies
Non-Contact Level Gauges
We set out to investigate non-contact level measurement systems. These systems have non-mechanical sensors and do not contact the material. They generally include laser, non-contact radar, and ultrasonic level measurement technologies, use level sensors that are located above the material, and are not directly exposed to the material. We did not include nuclear level gauges in our investigation because of the niche nature of the devices. Most non-contact sensors are exposed to the environment of the material in normal operation and can come in contact with the material when the level of the material is excessively high.
Non-contact level sensors generally emit a laser, radar or ultrasonic energy beam that is reflected back to the transmitter by the material. In many designs, the level measurement is derived from the amount of time measured for the laser beam to travel to and return from the material. However, some radar designs use modified energy waveforms to improve measurement.
Non-contact level measurement sensors direct an energy beam towards the surface to be measured within a total beam angle determined by energy intensity. Sensors with smaller beam angles generally emit more concentrated beams (as a percentage of total beam energy) that can produce a better and more reliable level measurement.
In general, larger ultrasonic and radar level sensors produce stronger beams that tend to measure longer distances with narrower beam angles than smaller sensors. In addition, increasing the sensor excitation frequency tends to make the beam angle smaller and allow measurement of shorter distances in addition to increasing resolution.
Level Measurement System Performance
The purpose of installing a level measurement system is to measure level accurately in a reliable manner. The performance of a level measurement system is quantified by means of its accuracy statements. The reader must understand not only which parameter is being described, but also the manner in which the statement is expressed. In level measurement, parameters are commonly described in terms of:
- absolute (fixed) distance error
- percentage of measured distance
- percentage of set span
- a percentage of maximum span
- percentage of the empty distance (farthest measurement in span)
- percentage of the maximum sensor distance
These terms are mathematically related so it is possible to convert one to another. Note that other terminology may be used to express these concepts. Some variations include mm, cm and percentages (See Table 2).
|Rated span
|Maximum span
|Calibrated span
|Maximum measured span
|Maximum span of the sensor
|Maximum measuring span
|Span value
|Full range
|Detached range
|Measured range
|Target range
|Measuring range
Maximum range
|Maximum target range (in air)
|Set measuring range
|Range with no temperature gradient
|Full scale
|Maximum distance
|Target distance
|Measured distance
|Tank height

A new safety campaign supporting Wiltshire's primary school children was launched on Monday.
High visibility arm bands have been given to Year 5 and 6 pupils at Aloeric School in Melksham, Studley Green Primary School in Trowbridge, Queens Crescent School, in Chippenham, Pewsey Primary School and Salisbury's St Martin's Primary.
The idea of the armbands aim to make the children more noticable as they walk to and from school on dark mornings and evenings.
The safety campaign is part of a drive by Wiltshire Council, Wiltshire Police, Wiltshire Fire & Rescue and NHS Wiltshire to make the region's roads safer.
All schools across the region will be given bands and any remaining will be available from fire stations across Wiltshire.
They can be collected from fire stations in Cricklade, Ramsbury, Stratton, Marlborough, Chippenham, Malmesbury, Calne, Salisbury, Tisbury, Mere, Pewsey, Trowbridge, Bradford on Avon, Melksham and Warminster, between 7-9pm on Monday nights.
The bands will also be available from Westbury fire station between 7.15-9.15pm on Mondays, and picked up from Royal Wootton Bassett station between 7.30-9.30pm on the same night.
On Wednesdays, the bands can be collected from Devizes fire station between 6.30-8.30pm, Corsham and Ludgershall between 7-9pm, Amesbury fire station between 7.15-9.15pm and Wilton's between 7.30-9.30pm.
