|experimental zoologist, medical statistician
Lancelot Thomas Hogben FRS[1] FRSE (9 December 1895 – 22 August 1975) was a British experimental zoologist and medical statistician. He developed the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) as a model organism for biological research in his early career, attacked the eugenics movement in the middle of his career, and popularised books on science, mathematics and language in his later career.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Early life[edit]
Hogben was born and raised in Southsea near Portsmouth in Hampshire. His parents were Plymouth Brethren; he broke young from the family religion. He attended Tottenham County School in London, his family having moved to Stoke Newington, where his mother had grown up, in 1907, and then as a medical student studied physiology at Trinity College, Cambridge.[3] He took his degree in 1915, graduating with an Ordinary degree. He had acquired socialist convictions, changing the name of the university's Fabian Society to Socialist Society and went on to become an active member of the Independent Labour Party. Later in life he preferred to describe himself as 'a scientific humanist'.[9]
First World War[edit]
In the First World War he was a pacifist and was imprisoned as a conscientious objector in 1916 at Wormwood Scrubs; this was after six months working with the Red Cross in France, and his deliberate return to Cambridge. His health collapsed and he was released in 1917.[1] Hogben married in 1918 the mathematician, statistician, and feminist Enid Charles, with whom he had two sons and two daughters.[3]
After a year's convalescence he took lecturing positions in London universities, moving in 1922 to the University of Edinburgh and its Animal Breeding Research Department. In 1923 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were James Hartley Ashworth, James Cossar Ewart, Francis Albert Eley Crew and John Stephenson. He won the Society's Keith Prize for the period 1933-35.[10]
He then went to McGill University, and in 1927 to a zoology chair at the University of Cape Town. He worked on endocrinology and used the Xenopus frog. While using Xenopus to investigate the endocrine system, he serendipitously discovered that female Xenopus frogs, when injected with urine from a pregnant woman, ovulated within hours. Thus, the Hogben Pregnancy Test was created and remained the major, international pregnancy test for decades. He found the job in South Africa attractive, but his antipathy to the country's racial policies drove him to leave.
In 1930 Hogben moved to the London School of Economics, in a chair for social biology. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1936.[1] The citation read
Distinguished for his work in Experimental Zoology, especially in respect of the mechanism of colour change in Amphibia and Reptilia. He has published a series of important papers on the effect of hormones on the pigmentary effector system and on the reproductive cycle of vertebrates, and has worked on many branches of comparative physiology. More recently he has made substantial contributions to genetics, especially with regard to man.
The social biology position at the London School of Economics was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, and when it withdrew funding Hogben moved to Aberdeen, becoming Regius Professor of Natural history at the University of Aberdeen in 1937.
Hogben was granted both the Neill Prize, as well as a gold medal, for his work in mathematical genetics.[9]
Political views[edit]
While Chair for Social Biology at the London School of Economics, Hogben unleashed a relentless attack on the British eugenics movement, which was at its apex in the 1920s and 1930s. In contrast to eugenicists, who commonly drew a strict line between heredity (or nature) and environment (or nurture), Hogben highlighted the 'interdependence of nature and nurture'.[9] Hogben's appeal to this interdependence of nature and nurture marked the first time gene-environment interaction (or 'gene-environment interplay') was used to undermine statistical attempts to partition the contributions of nature and nurture, as well as the eugenic implications drawn from those statistics. Hogben's foil throughout this period was R.A. Fisher, the leading scientist-eugenicist of the day (Tabery 2008).
In an interview for the book Twentieth Century Authors, Hogben stated:
"I like Scandinavians, skiing, swimming and socialists who realize it is our business to promote social progress by peaceful methods. I dislike football, economists, eugenicists, Fascists, Stalinists, and Scottish conservatives. I think that sex is necessary and bankers are not".[9]
Society for Experimental Biology[edit]
In 1923, Hogben was a founder of the Society for Experimental Biology and its organ the British Journal of Experimental Biology (renamed Journal of Experimental Biology in 1930), along with Julian Huxley and geneticist Francis Albert Eley Crew (1886–1973). According to Gary Werskey, Hogben was the only one of the founders not holding any eugenic ideas.
Hogben produced two best-selling works of popular science, Mathematics for the Million (1936) and Science for the Citizen (1938). While at Aberdeen, Hogben developed an interest in language. Besides editing The Loom of Language by his friend Frederick Bodmer, he created an international language, Interglossa, as 'a draft of an auxiliary for a democratic world order'.
George Orwell in his essay Politics and the English Language[11] used a sentence of Hogben's as an example of how not to write, particularly in relation to the use of metaphors.
Above all, we cannot play ducks and drakes with a native battery of idioms which prescribes egregious collocations of vocables (...)— Orwell (1946), quoting Hogben, Interglossa (1943)
Professor Hogben plays ducks and drakes with a battery which is able to write prescriptions (...)— Orwell, Politics and the English Language (1946)
Later life[edit]
During World War II Hogben had responsibility for the British Army's medical statistics. He was Mason Professor of Zoology at the University of Birmingham 1941–1947 and professor of medical statistics there 1947–1961, when he retired. In 1963, he became the first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Guyana, a post he abandoned in April 1964, resigning in 1965.
In the 1950s Hogben settled at Glyn Ceiriog in north Wales, where he bought a cottage. That decade his marriage to Enid broke down; the couple separated in 1953 and divorced in 1957, with Hogben remarrying later that year to local widowed retired school headmistress, (Mary) Jane Roberts (nee Evans), who was seven years younger. Widowed by the death of Jane in 1974, he died at the War Memorial Hospital at Glyn Ceiriog near Wrexham.[3] in 1975 aged 79 and was cremated at nearby Pentre Bychan.[12] He was an atheist.[13]
Hogben's legacy[edit]
Hogben's research has left a lasting impression on the history of biology. The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), which Hogben first developed as a model organism, is now one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. Likewise, his emphasis on the interdependence of nature and nurture has affected and continues to affect scientific practice and scientific debate. In terms of scientific practice, modern research on phenotypic plasticity, gene-environment interaction, and developmental systems theory all owes much to the legacy of Hogben's initial emphasis on understanding nature and nurture interdependently rather than in dichotomy. In terms of scientific debate, the dispute between Hogben and R.A. Fisher over gene-environment interaction was the first of many subsequent disputes over the extent to which the primacy of the gene can be understood independently of its developmental relationship with the environment (Tabery 2007). The debate on nature and nurture, the race and intelligence controversy, the heritability wars, concerns over the geneticisation of complex human traits, and arguments over the promises and perils of the human genome project all incorporate some element of disagreement over the primacy of the gene. Hogben's attack on that primacy by appeal to the interdependence of nature and nurture has been echoed in each successive dispute.

People have built a sub-conscience image of what they believe to be the traditional college student. To many people, college students are typically in their late teens to early 20s, living in dorms, and partying it up while occasionally studying for tests. While that description may describe some college students, it can hardly be used to describe all students who attend a college or university.
The following are some interesting facts and statistics that have been collected on various college students. While this information won't change how everyone views college students, it can help give people a better understanding of what the typical college student might be.
Many College Students Attend Community College
With college tuition costs on the rise, many college students are starting to rely upon community colleges to start their college careers. Community colleges are appealing because they offer a variety of undergraduate courses that students could attend at a four-year college, but at a fraction of the price. It is estimated that 10–20 percent of college students all across America attend a community college.
Veterans and College Education
One of the many reasons people enter the armed forces is to earn money for college. Many armed forces programs offer veterans and active duty servicemen the chance to attend college courses. It is estimated that in 2009 that 3 percent of current undergraduate students were veterans, while another 1 percent of those college students were individuals who were active duty or in the reserves.
Traveling to Receive a College Education
A common misconception many people have about college students is that right after college they pack their bags and travel to a faraway school. While some students will choose to pack-up and head out-of-state for college, most will not. In fact, whether or not a student travels long distances to receive a college education may depend on their IQ or scores on standardized tests.
Statistics show that college students who have a higher IQ or scored higher on the college standardized tests will more likely travel further for a college education. Those same statistics show that students who scored average or below average on those standardized tests were willing to think "I'll stay right here, and earn my college degree closer to home."
The misconception surrounding college students will always be around for as long as there are colleges and universities to attend. However, learning that many students attend community colleges, once served in the armed forces, and don't travel far to attend a college may help people develop a new image when they think of the typical college student.

Adobe Presenter 8 Overview
Alistair Lee, Adobe Systems
Expertise Level: Beginner
When I speak to customers who use Adobe Connect, I find that the majority will use the product for training. This typically includes live virtual classrooms in addition to on-demand courses that are always available.
While Adobe Connect supports virtually any AICC or SCORM based content, it works exceptionally well with some of the authoring tools from Adobe. One of my favorite authoring tools is Adobe Presenter.
Adobe Presenter is a plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint that enables you to very quickly turn your static PowerPoint slides into a self-running, on-demand course. You can do this by adding narration over the slides, adding video - or an application simulation, and adding quiz questions to test the understanding of the students taking the course.
Since it works right within the PowerPoint interface, it's exceptionally easy to use and means that you can re-use all of the content that you may have been using in a physical classroom environment.
In the embedded video below, I walk through most of the Adobe Presenter features at a very high level.

In this installment of our series before June 26's NBA draft, we look at an versatile forward that is expected to be a top-10 pick:
Aaron Gordon
Position: Small Forward
Height/Weight: 6-9, 225
School: Arizona
Another in a handful of projected lottery picks to leave college after one season, Gordon takes a backseat to no one in this draft class in terms of athleticism. He is an elite leaper and shot blocker and runs extremely well for someone his size. Gordon averaged 12.4 points and 8.0 rebounds on an Arizona team that spent most of the season ranked No. 1 in the country.
Much was expected from Gordon when he arrived at Arizona following his MVP performance in the McDonald's All-American Game. He flashed glimpses of tremendous potential throughout his freshman season, but it also became apparent that he has a long way to go before developing into a complete player.
In Arizona's season-ending overtime loss to Wisconsin in the Elite 8, the best and worst of Gordon was on full display -- he grabbed 18 rebounds, but scored just eight points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field.
Gordon's athleticism and defensive versatility go hand-in-hand. He is athletic enough to guard small forwards and power forwards in the NBA, and his shot-blocking ability will make him a very effective help defender. Gordon will also excel in transition on the next level. He'll be able to out-run most forwards on the fast break and will have no trouble finishing around the rim. There won't be a shortage of plays involving Gordon on the morning highlight shows.
Gordon is also an underrated ballhandler, especially in the open court. He has little trouble leading the fast break and manages to make the right decisions most of the time. Above all, he's a guy front-office types fall in love with because of his measurables and athleticism. General managers and coaches will think they can fix his flaws and play to his strengths. Time will tell if he'll ever live up to that "tremendous upside" label he has been given. He doesn't turn 19 until September, so time is on his side.
Very raw and unpolished on the offensive end. He lacks a go-to move in the low post and is limited on the perimeter. Despite getting most of his opportunities close to the basket, he shot a shade under 50 percent from the field. Gordon's jump shot is so ineffective that defenders will let him shoot until he proves he can make shots consistently. Then there is his free throw shooting -- Gordon shot a horrendous 42 percent from the foul line last season. He'll need to improve that aspect of his game considerably or risk being a liability at the end of close games.
How he'd fit with the Sixers
Depends on which end of the floor you're talking about. Defensively, he would be a tremendous asset. Opponents would have a tough time getting clean looks at the basket against a frontline featuring Gordon and Nerlens Noel. Gordon would also provide Brett Brown with great defensive versatility, as he's able to defend several positions on the floor.
Offensively, he would fit in well with Michael Carter-Williams and company pushing the tempo. The Sixers aren't afraid to run, and Gordon can certainly do that. But when push comes to shove, this Sixers team needs players that can be counted on to score in half-court sets. That is not Gordon at this point, not even close. It will take some time before he becomes a consistent offensive performer.
NBA comparison
Blake Griffin is a popular name here, but I'm not buying that outside of the high-flying dunks. Shawn Marion is probably a better comparison, given Gordon's potential as a lockdown defender at the small forward spot. But I'll go Kenneth Faried -- unlimited energy, great rebounder and defender, but doesn't bring a whole lot to the table in a structured offense.
Draft projection
Early- to mid-lottery (fifth to ninth overall pick).

What do you think of when you hear the word fungus? Do you think of mushrooms? A mushroom is one type of fungus, but fungus also refers to a type of germ that lives on all of us.
This germ is harmless most of the time, but sometimes it can cause a problem called a fungal infection (say: FUN-gul in-FEK-shun). It sounds gross, but don't worry or feel embarrassed. A lot of people get fungal infections, but they're usually easy to treat because a fungus rarely spreads below the skin.
If you get one of these infections, before you know it, you'll be saying bye-bye to fungi (say: FUN-guy).
Fungi, the word for more than one fungus, can be found on different parts of the body. Here are some common types of fungal infections:
Lots of kids get fungal infections. Kids love to share and hang out together. Some of these infections are contagious (say: kon-TAY-jus), which means they easily spread from person to person. Close contact or sharing a comb or hairbrush with someone who has tinea can spread the fungus from one person to another. Because fungi need a warm, dark, and humid place to grow, public showers, pools, locker rooms, and even the warmth of shoes and socks can give fungi the perfect opportunity to strike.
Taking antibiotics can cause some kids to get a yeast infection. Antibiotics get rid of germs that make us sick, but they can also kill many of the harmless bacteria in our body. These harmless bacteria normally fight with the yeast for a place to live, but when antibiotics kill them, the yeast is free to grow.
Sometimes, a fungus may infect kids if they have an immune system disorder (this means their bodies can't fight certain types of infections). This is rare, but it does happen.
Many skin problems look like a fungal infection so the best way to know for sure is to ask your doctor. Here are some signs you and a parent can look for:
Getting rid of a fungal infection is not too hard. Your doctor may decide to scrape a small amount of the irritated skin or clip off a piece of hair or nail and look at it under a microscope or do a culture.
Once your doctor knows what kind of infection you have, special antifungal creams and shampoos can help to get rid of it. Sometimes the doctor will prescribe a medicine to take by mouth. Make sure you take the medicine for as long as the doctor tells you.
Maybe fungal infections can't be avoided altogether, but you can help yourself ward them off.

You can ditch jock itch by:

Say bye-bye to pityriasis by:
There may always be a "fungus among us," but we can make it a lot tougher for them to invade and grow!

In January 2003 the Union for the Presidential Majority (UMP), a coalition supporting Pres. Ismail Omar Guelleh, took all 65 parliamentary seats in Djibouti's first full multiparty election. Opposition leader Ahmed Dini alleged fraud, but he was unsuccessful in challenging the election results. Seven women entered the new National Assembly, following a new law mandating such an inclusion.
Despite a serious drought and food shortage, the presence of U.S. troops emerged as the major campaign issue in the parliamentary election. The opposition maintained that the presence of U.S. soldiers could incite terrorist attacks. After the election President Guelleh continued to foster diplomatic ties with the U.S.; however, the U.S. was not given permission to launch attacks from Djibouti during the 2003 Iraq war. Guelleh criticized the war effort, citing the lack of UN approval for the operation. During the course of the war, there were two large antiwar demonstrations on the streets of Djibouti.
In September Djibouti's military began forcefully deporting thousands of illegal Somali, Ethiopian, and Eritrean immigrants who had ignored a late-July call to leave voluntarily. Djibouti's high unemployment rate and security concerns were given as primary reasons for the expulsion of an estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants who had been living in the country.

text: Enertopia: Prudent Approach, Low Valuation, Ample Followers WHITEFISH, MT / July 30, 2014 / Enertopia Corp. (OTC: ENRT), an aspiring licensed producer under Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations ("MMPR"), has been making steady progress towards securing a license in what Health Canada expects to be a $1.3 billion market with over 450,000 patients by 2025. During this time, the stock has maintained a relatively low valuation while steadily growing the number of followers.In this article, we'll take a look at management's prudent approach, the stock's low relative valuation, and the increasing number of followers.Prudent ApproachEnertopia has taken a "no non-sense" approach to applying to become a licensed producer under Canada's MMPR program. With 2 of Enertopia's projects (World of Marihuana Products Ltd. and The Green Canvas Ltd.) having been part of the Canadian MMAR program, the company may have an advantage over many new operations with no prior history of handling medical cannabis through Health Canada.Management also has ample experience in both horticulture and the capital markets. President & CEO Robert McAllister has over 20 years of experience in the capital markets, including 11 years of working as a corporate executive in the metals and energy industries. Meanwhile, Director Mathew Chadwick has over 20 years of experience working in horticulture, including 10 years under the MMAR program.Leveraging its prior history with the MMAR program and management's dual skill sets, the company continues to move its three projects closer to licensure. The GTA project in partnership with Lexaria Corp. (OTC: LXRP) recently received municipal approval, security upgrades are underway at the Green Canvas project, and the World of Marihuana project is awaiting a Health Canada site visit.Relative ValuationEnertopia trades with a market capitalization of approximately $11.6 million, which is the second lowest market capitalization among its peers (see Figure 1 below). While Easton Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC: EAPH) trades with a lesser market capitalization, the company is well-below many of its industry peers that trade with market capitalizations in excess of $50 million. Figure 1 – Peer Comparison by Market Capitalization – Source: OTC Markets & TMX GroupA lower market capitalization doesn't necessarily mean that a stock is undervalued given that these companies are all in various stages of approval, but a higher market capitalization clearly represents greater expectations on the part of shareholders. Whether or not these expectations are met or exceeded depends on management, but lower expectations are easier to exceed than higher expectations.Enertopia's modest $11.6 million market capitalization suggests that the market remains cautiously optimistic about an eventual approval, while investors in some other companies in the space appear to have already priced in an approval. That said, investors would be wise to diversify their exposure in the space, while being aware of the risks that an approval may not materialize for some or all of the firms.Sizable FollowingEnertopia may have a modest market capitalization, but it has accrued a large following on both SeekingAlpha and InvestorsHub (see Figure 2 below). As of July 30, 2014, the company has more combined followers than peers like Modern Mobility Aids Inc. (OTC: MDRM) and even the MMPR-approved Tweed Marijuana Inc. (OTC: TWMJF), despite its comparatively lower market capitalization. Figure 2 – Followers by Website – Source: SeekingAlpha & iHubA greater number of followers aren't a guarantee of liquidity or price appreciation, but a greater following should help the company maintain a fair valuation. Since these followers will likely be alerted when significant corporate events occur, they may decide to take action and buy or sell stock depending on the news and ultimately adjust the company's valuation as necessary.If Enertopia is successful in obtaining licensed producer status under Canada's MMPR program, these followers will likely be aware of the development and may in turn help generate liquidity and adjust its valuation accordingly.Looking AheadEnertopia's prudent management, low valuation, and growing number of followers make it worth a look for investors in the space. While uncertainties remain within the Canadian MMPR space, investors seeking exposure should consider diversifying their exposure to increase risk-adjusted returns, as the company remains a viable option within a rapidly growing industry.For more information, see the following resources:- Company Website - http://www.enertopia.com/s/Home.asp- CannabisFN Profile - http://www.cannabisfn.com/mdc/enertopia-corp/Sign Up For Future Email Updates On Enertopia Corp:http://www.tdmfinancial.com/emailassets/enrt/enrt_landing.php Disclaimer: Except for the historical information presented herein, matters discussed in this release contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements.

Beeb ensures that running costs are frozen solid
It is reassuring in these austere times that the guardians of the nation, the BBC, are cutting their cloth accordingly and confining their troops to base.
In bygone days events such as the World Cross Country Championships in Poland and the World Cup Rowing in Australia would have had the sports department whooping with delight and heading towards the airport.
Not anymore, it was a studio at home for Jonathan Edwards on Sunday where he was joined by Paula Radcliffe with Steve Cram in a wee cupboard wearing massive headphones and commentating while watching TV.
The fact that the event was being held in a freezing field in a place called Bydgoszcz – a town in desperate need of a vowel – may have had something to do with it. There's also the small matter that most countries that aren't Kenya or Ethiopia gave up cross country when they left school.
It is refreshing to see the list of winners though, the women's race reading like a W.I. roll call with Margaret, Janet, Beatrice, Irene, Agnes and Emily all in action and not a Kylie, Jordan or Chardonnay in sight.
There was a Katherine alongside John Inverdale for the rowing, the queen of the waves Grainger, joining him at Eton Dorney as the Olympic legacy continues apace.
"Brisk is one way of describing conditions here, where the women's Boat Race between..." I'll let you guess who got to the final again, but if it was ladies keeping cool in the, well, cold, then look no further than Scotland's newly crowned World Curling champions. As the commentator on Eurosport welcoming us to Latvia explained: "There's a lot of ice out there, the temperature has been well below zero, but curlers quite like it cold."
Just as well, it was Baltic outside.

Colleges Notebook: Bulls volleyball team gets off to fast start
The team to watch this fall season? Looks like it might be the University at Buffalo volleyball team.
The Bulls, who won the Cornell Invitational with a commanding three-game sweep of Bucknell, are off to their best start since 1989. Through their first six matches, UB has dropped just one game — that to Iona.
Buffalo has two wins over Niagara, and victories over Temple, Iona, Cornell and Bucknell.
The Bulls will travel to the Georgia State Tournament in Atlanta this weekend where they will play Davidson, Central Florida and the host school.
Junior outside hitter Liz Scott was named the MVP of the Cornell Invitational, hitting .453 with 27 kills and just three errors on 53 total attacks. Through the first six matches, she leads the team hitting .433.
Other impressive performances in the fall season came from St. Bonaventure cross country and Daemen women's soccer.
St. Bonaventure cross country is doing something it hasn't done in decades - win. The men's team won its first invitational title in 10 years last weekend at the Seton Hill Griffin Classic in Greensburg, Pa. Junior Harley Thompson led the Bona men, finishing fourth overall in 29:36.6 on the 8K course.
Meanwhile the women won their first Little Three championship since the event started in 1983. Senior Kady Weisner finished second overall, running the 5K Delaware Park course in 19:08.8.
Daemen's Wildcats opened the season with back-to-back shutout wins, defeating Alderson-Broaddus, 4-0, and Maine-Fort Kent, 2-0. The game against Maine-Fort Kent was a rematch of last year's United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship game, which Daemen won, 1-0 in overtime.
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Kathryn Haessner earned both wins for Daemen, which has six shutouts in its last seven games dating back to last season.
Game of the Week
Brockport at Buffalo State. The annual I-90 Bowl gridiron clash is always intense and the Bengals host this year's meeting at 2 p.m. at Coyer Field. Buffalo State is coming off a 41-28 win at Cortland in its season opener.
Senior quarterback Casey Kacz (Sweet Home) threw for two touchdowns and ran for three more to lead the Bengals offense. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 226 yards with an interception. He added 118 yards rushing on 17 carries.
A look ahead
It's never too early to start thinking about college hockey, particularly after last season's run by Canisius and Niagara. The two rivals clash in the season opener on Oct. 12 in Lewiston.
But just to whet your appetite, Atlantic Hockey announced two games will air nationally on the CBS Sports Network - Niagara vs. RIT on Jan. 24 and Air Force at Army on Jan. 10.
Meanwhile, the name Conacher will once again be on the back of a Canisius College jersey. Shane Conacher, younger brother of Golden Griffins all-time leading scorer Cory, joins the team this season along with four other newcomers. Conacher led St. Michael's to the Ontario Junior Hockey League Championship in 2013.
Also joining the Griffs will be forwards Jack Hidi (Toronto), Josh Kielich (Orchard Park) and defensemen Geoff Fortman (Crystal Lake, Ill.) and sophomore Brandon Russo, a transfer from the Penn State club team.

We're excited to share some very important news: The College Board just announced that they're redesigning the SAT for 2016, and we're partnering with them to make free, world-class prep materials. Our goal is nothing short of leveling the playing field, and we intend, with the deep expertise of the College Board behind us, to make the very best preparation for the SAT. This will be far more than just videos; it will be sophisticated, interactive software to give students deep practice and diagnose their gaps.
This means that for the first time ever, all students who want to go to college can prepare for the SAT at their own pace, at absolutely no cost. Unlike other test prep, the resources on Khan Academy will be developed through a close collaboration with the authors of the SAT themselves. With this partnership, our goal is to ensure that students have a deep grasp of underlying fundamentals so they can succeed on the SAT, in college, and beyond.
Sal recently chatted with David Coleman, CEO of the College Board, about why they redesigned the SAT and decided to work with Khan Academy to make prep materials open and free. Check out their conversation and other information about the partnership.
What does this mean? By June 2015, you'll have access to state-of-the-art learning tools--exercises, software diagnostics and videos--designed by Khan Academy and College Board specifically for the redesigned SAT. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, if you are taking the SAT in 2014/15, you can start practicing today with a full-length practice test and tons of unreleased Math, Reading, and Writing questions from real SATs and videos that show step-by-step solutions to each question. Onward!

Steve Atwater Interview
November 21, 2006 - NFL Street legend talks Broncos, The Nigerian Nightmare, and Elway.
NFL Street 3 Review
November 14, 2006 - Two years ago, EA Sports Big took some liberties with the standard football experience by taking NFL players out of stadiums and putting them back onto the streets and vacant lots where they learned the game. The NFL Street series was about style as much as it was about substance, and showing up your opponents as you took the ball to the house was a key part of the game. But just about anyone could beat down the stars of the NFL without proving that they deserved to be on the same field. Those days are now over thanks to NFL Street 3, which demands that players respect the rules of the street.
Chad Johnson Interview

November 1, 2006 - First came NFL Street, EA Sports' homage to sandlot ball where players got to go seven on seven against some of the best the NFL had to offer. Then came NFL Street 2, where players tried to Own a City with their football skills. But if you listen to the intro of the latest chapter of the series, there was something still lacking: respect. Ditch the rapper cameos and the hype. NFL Street 3 from EA Sports is prepping to take the field soon, and it's going to demand that you respect the streets with new gamebreakers, game moves and game modes.

Rhubarb and goats' cheese salad
Given that rhubarb is generally considered to be a dessert ingredient, it's surprising to see it in a salad recipe.
This recipe is not exactly super-healthy, considering there's butter, sugar and port in it, but it's delicious all the same!
This is from Gregg Wallace of 'MasterChef UK' fame.
* 60g butter
* 4 tsp sugar
* 100g rhubarb, cut into batons
* 4 tsp port
* 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* 1 tsp mustard
* sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
* baby salad leaves
* 50g hard goats' cheese, crumbled
* Melt the butter in a frying pan then add the sugar.
* Place the rhubarb in the pan and cook quickly until just tender. Remove the rhubarb from the pan and set aside to cool.
* Deglaze the frying pan with the port and set aside.
* Mix together the oil, lemon juice and mustard and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
* Make a loose ball of the salad leaves in the palm of your hand, place in the centre of each plate and dress with the olive oil mixture.
* Make criss-cross patterns around the leaves with the rhubarb batons, sprinkle the goats' cheese over and around the rhubarb and finish with a drizzle of the port glaze.

The vast majority of detections have come from US efforts. Three US ground-based telescope projects are now operating: LINEAR (Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research), the Catalina Sky Survey, and Pan-STARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System). The newest is Pan-STARRS, led by the University of Hawaii. The school is also setting up a network of smaller telescopes, dubbed ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System), for quick scans of the sky each night.
A future possibility: infrared space telescopes dedicated to searching for NEOs. Infrared wavelengths are better suited for spotting NEOs that are too dim for visual telescopes to pick up. If funded, these telescopes could be launched toward the end of this decade.

Dan Haren pitched 5 2-3 solid innings in his final spring tuneup, Mark Trumbo hit a three-run homer, and the Angels beat the Dodgers 12-3 Monday night in the opener of a three-game series that will end the exhibition schedule for both Los Angeles teams.
Haren (3-0) threw 94 pitches, striking out five and walking none while finishing his spring with a 2.05 ERA in six starts.
The three-time All-Star right-hander is scheduled to make his season debut next Saturday against Kansas City.
Last year, Haren was 16-10 with a 3.17 ERA, threw a career-high 238 1-3 innings and had an AL-best strikeout-to-walk ratio of 5.82.
Albert Pujols was 0 for 3 with a bases-loaded walk in his first game at Angel Stadium in a Halos uniform. He left the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals to sign a 10-year, $240 million contract.
The Angels grabbed the lead with a three-run third against reliever Todd Coffey (0-2), whose walk to Pujols forced home the game's first run.
One out later, Torii Hunter drove in two more with a broken-bat single against the right-hander, who was charged with three runs, three hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning.
Jamey Wright, a 17-year veteran who will be used in middle relief by Los Angeles after spending last season with Seattle, started the game and allowed one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp, who won his second Gold Glove last season, robbed Trumbo of extra bases with a diving catch in left-center to end the second inning and strand a runner. Another extra-base bid by Trumbo in the sixth was run down by Andre Ethier in the warning track. But in the seventh, Trumbo drove the first pitch he saw from Kenley Jansen into the lower left field seats for his fifth homer of the spring and an 8-2 lead.
The Dodgers got their first run in the fourth on an RBI double by former Angel Juan Rivera. But Pujols, a two-time Gold Glove first baseman, prevented another in the fifth when he charged Dee Gordon's safety-squeeze bunt and threw out Juan Uribe.
Notes: Both teams mutually agreed that all three of these games will go a full nine innings, even if the home team is leading after 8 1-2. ... In 26 1-3 innings this spring, Haren struck out 25 and walked only two batters - Travis Hafner and reigning NL MVP Ryan Braun. ... Dodgers LHP Ted Lilly, who will begin his 14th big league season on the DL because of a stiff neck, threw close to 70 pitches in a simulated game. He's scheduled to throw a bullpen session on April 8, and another one six days later. "We accomplished what we wanted to do - build his pitch count up and get him up five or six times," manager Don Mattingly said. "You could tell he got a little gassed at the end, but I think it was good because he got to face a bunch of different guys."

Colm Cavanagh has made his own mark in All Ireland title push
Colm Cavanagh accepts that he was forced to live in the shadow of big brother Sean for some time but he has now very much emerged as a star in his own right as Tyrone intensify their push for a fourth All Ireland football title.
Still only 20 but stretching to 6'4" and with stamina to burn, the younger Cavanagh was afforded his big chance when a dislocated ankle precluded Aidan Cassidy's involvement in the Ulster championship.
The Augher clubman had made a major impact in the engine-room during the National League even though Tyrone suffered relegation to Division Two and at the outset of the championship his loss from the central area was being viewed as a potential handicap.
But Colm has since stepped smartly up to the plate and has now formed a dynamic partnership with long-serving Kevin Hughes — a partnership, indeed, that flourished fully against Monaghan in Sunday's provincial decider.
Not only did Colm garner a generous ration of first phase possession but he also scored the only goal of the game in the 65th minute to set the seal on an emphatic Tyrone performance.
Yet while the plaudits are being lavished on him Colm is acutely aware that Hughes has wielded a big influence in helping him to settle in the side.
"Kevin is a big game player with a massive engine," said university student Colm.
"He has seen and done it all and although it maybe took me time to bed in alongside him, we have now developed a fine understanding. But we know that there are some very high-profile midfield partnerships still in the All Ireland Championship and we look certain to be facing one of these in the quarter-finals."

It's safe to say that Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt didn't spend much time catching up in Texas.
Auriemma and Summitt were at the AT&T Center on Tuesday night for a doubleheader in San Antonio, where the Final Four will be held in the spring. Summitt's sixth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols beat Texas Tech in the first game before Auriemma's top-ranked Huskies demolished No. 10 Texas.
The two Hall of Fame coaches had a falling out two years ago when their powerhouse programs canceled their regular-season series. Auriemma said in April 2008 that it was because Summitt accused UConn of cheating in recruiting.
Auriemma said he'll say hello to Summitt like anyone else, but doesn't see why anyone expects them to, say, go to dinner.
"Why? I don't go out to dinner with these guys," Auriemma said, sitting between two of his UConn players. "And I like them."
All four teams in the San Antonio doubleheader actually did have a dinner together Monday night. Auriemma said that what people need to understand is that within Division I women's basketball, people wanted to see games other than Connecticut playing Tennessee.
Between 1995 and 2007, the Huskies and Lady Vols played at least once a year.
"Everybody in the country has to understand that the only people who really wanted the whole Connecticut-Tennessee thing were people outside women's basketball," Auriemma said. "That was just for the outside fans."
Auriemma made his comments after being asked about Summitt following the game. Summitt was not asked about Auriemma following Tennessee's victory and made no comment on her own.

A Richmond County grand jury issued indictments this week in two murder cases.
Jonathan Devar Harrell, Joseph Ty're Downs and Nicholas Nathaniel Johnson were indicted on charges including murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges in connection to the May 2009 fatal shooting of 20-year-old Tremayne Markis Cobbs. Cobbs was fatally shot in the head in the parking lot of an Econo Lodge at 2051 Gordon Highway.
Witnesses told authorities that the men had been arguing while on their way to a nearby Waffle House when more than 10 shots were fired into a silver Chevrolet Suburban.
Cobbs' body was found lying on the curb near the vehicle, police said at the time. Two other victims, 16-year-old Exzavius Bray and 19-year-old Danvanqwez Burley, were shot in their legs.
Also indicted were Christopher Loray Price, 24, and Billy Lee Smith, 28.
The two are charged with murder, false imprisonment and weapons charges in connection with the Jan. 18 choking death of Dustin Lunsford, whom they are accused of killing in the Savannah Suites on Wrightsboro Road.

I love the Newscast theme, and have used it with several customizations. I am currently having trouble with the Modern style. The shade bar on the Accordian slider is light, instead of dark, and the text is light too, so very hard to read. Where can I change the color of either the accordion slides shade or the text. Thank you!

It's A Mystery: "This was either an accident, murder or an act of nature."
Killed at the Whim of a Hat
By Colin Cotterill
Minotaur, 2011
As the saying goes, you can't tell a book by its cover. Nor,
for that matter, by its title. Titles tease, tantalize, and tempt. More often than not, they can be deceptive. Some titles become an integral part of the language: take Catch 22. Evan Hunter has said that he began all his 87th Precinct novels written under the pseudonym of Ed McBain by
making up a pithy title (Lady, Lady, I did It; Let's Hear it for The Deaf Man etc.) and then wrote a plot to go with it. One
of my favorite titles is A Trout in the Milk (1972) by Michael Underwood, which he was drawn to because of this tasty tidbit by Thoreau: "Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk." This mini-roster of titles would be incomplete without The Head in the Soup (1979) by Peter Chad Tigar Levi which takes place on a dig in the Near East. Levi is an ex-priest whose hero Ben Jonson is an Oxford archaeologist. As many have noted, archaeologists and detectives have a great deal in common. Something Agatha Christie, following her archaeologist husband from dig to dig, knew all about.
Which brings me to another delightful title, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks (1998). It's a nonfiction book about bizarre neurological disorders, but I thought of it when I began to read Killed at the Whim of a Hat. The author, Colin Cotterill, has written eight mysteries featuring Dr. Siri Paiboun, a cranky and curmudgeonly septuagenarian who is the first and only coroner in the Laos of the 1970's. All is deliciously, constantly abnormal in his morgue in downtown Vientiane. The Paiboun novels have been translated into six languages—"seven if you count Australian," Mr. Cotterill has said. And talking about titles, the first Paiboun was The Coroner's Lunch (2007). Then there is The Merry Misogynist (2009) and Love Songs From a Shallow Grave (2010).
Now on to Killed at the Whim of a Hat, Cotterill's wonderful first in a contemporary new series, whose heroine, divorcée Jimm Juree, 34, was one of Thailand's hottest crime reporters. That is until she's forced to move to the Thai hinterlands because her mother Mair sold the family business, "a rustic 7-Eleven" in northern Chiang Mai, out from under the family and is moving them all south. This bit of bad news is thrown at Jimm and her siblings, without warning, one hot August night:
Our mother Mair…I don't think it was any coincidence that she'd rediscovered Buddhism at roughly the same time the dementia started to kick in….That evening, almost exactly a year ago, will be forever burned into the DVD of my soul….
"I've invested in a lovely resort hotel in the south," Mair beamed with pride….
The south? They were blowing each other up in the south. Everyone was fleeing north and we were supposed to go south?
"How far south?" I asked.
"Quite far," she said.
Now Jimm is at "the butt end of the world" with a mother who spouts malapropisms even on her best days, her "sensitive" bodybuilder brother, Arny, and her Granddad Jah, a former traffic cop thrown off the force for honesty and whose hobby is car watching. Left behind by choice is big sister Sissi who at one time had been her elder brother, Somkiet. It's been eons since I've met up with such a certifiably eccentric, dysfunctional family. The frontrunners are the family in the play You Can't Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. (I hasten to add I wasn't there when it opened in 1936 but encountered it during my theatre days quite a bit later.)
More to Jimm's point, after her sex-change operation Sissi became an Internet whiz:
And eight years later she was already the George Soros of dodgy Internet business. Cyber-fiddles had made her a lot of money. I tried not to ask too many details because I didn't like the idea of lying in court.
So Sissi stays in Chiang Mai with her computers and Jimm, Mair, Grandad and Arny move into Mair's Gulf Bay Lovely Resort, which is, in reality, a dump girded with mosquito-ridden bogs, miles from the nearest tourist route. For almost ten months life is really dreary for Jimm until she gets word that a VW van has been dug up in the middle of a palm plantation and there are two skeletons sitting upright in the front seats—and one of them is wearing a plastic John Lennon cap. Faster than you can say "old bones" Jimm dusts off her intrepid reporter's pith helmet and is on the case. At the Pak Nam police station, cycling distance ten kilometers from the resort, she is "befriended" by an officer:
…with the stripes of a police lieutenant and the mannerisms of a fairy…. He introduced himself as Police Lieutenant Chompu and gave me a deep wai just short of a curtsy. I loved him instantly…. His posh central-Thai accent suggested to me that Chompu was at the end of the line, shunted further away from mainline stations…. Here he was at the Pak Nam siding with nowhere to go.
While Chompu and Jimm are exchanging bittersweet pleasantries about the lack of evidence in a crime committed 30 monsoons ago, another body turns up, this time at the local Buddhist temple Feuang Fa. Faster than you can say "murder most foul," Jimm is interviewing old Abbot Kem, who is in charge of the temple, and its resident nun. The body, found by Kem, belongs to Tan Winai, a visiting abbot from Bangkok, who arrived two days earlier with two monks attached to the Sangha, the Buddhist Supreme Council.
They are part of the branch called the Pra Vinyathikum, which loosely translated means Internal Affairs. They were investigating a "complaint" against the old abbot and the nun. Seems they were accused of fornication, yes fornication, by one of the old abbot's meager flock. To Jimm, it seems a suspiciously long way to travel for a little local hanky-panky even if the alleged participants are in the service of God. Not surprisingly, the beatific duo will confess to nothing more than, "…the most beautiful and pure friendship." Moreover, the nun is up to her habit in suspicion when Jimm discovers that she and Tan, the victim, have known each other for many years. In fact, before he left Bangkok he telephoned her and gave her the details of the complaint. Incriminating, undoubtedly, but according to her, "This was a very in initial investigation and none of us thought too seriously about it."
"Why now?" doesn't seem relevant to anyone but Jimm. Not even to Chompu, who she finally gets to describe the crime scene:
"Well he…the deceased. Was lying facedown on the concrete path, feet pointing…it must have been east. His head was almost in the flower bed, blood puddle under him half a meter to either side."
"What was his expression?"
"Couldn't see it. His whole face was masked by his hat….he'd been stabbed at least a dozen times in the stomach….It was a hate killing, either of Abbott Winai personally or of what he represented."
"Someone with a grievance against Buddhism?…It's the most nonviolent, forgiving religion there is."
"You never can tell. A novice abused by a monk when he was young. Someone who believed his grandma was cremated before she was dead. And, don't forget, the temple's quick to welcome back ex-thises and that's into its fold without background checks. There are a lot of gangsters in saffron."
Next night at dinner, Jimm describes the crime scene as recounted by Chompu: "There's nothing like a murder scene description to keep the family engrossed during a meal."
This prompts Granddad Jah's snooping skills to kick in and he urges her to rethink the crime scene:
"Was there something the police didn't see at Wat Feuang Fa. Granddad?"
"There was, Jimm. There was."
"And what was that?"
"A hat."
"A hat?"
"You said Abbot Winai was wearing a hat. It obscured his face….it's clearly laid out in the Monastic Code that you can't wear a hat….a senior abbot who'd reached that level of responsibility would never dream of breaking the rules. There's no way he'd wear a hat."
Especially a hat that's bright orange with a red flower. And that's all I'm going to give away. Jimm, donning two hats, sleuth and scribe, sorts out both crimes with a lot of help from her loopy family and a few "well chosen" eccentric friends. (Who was it who said: "All I want is a place to hang my hat and a few of my friends.")
By now you get the idea that Killed at the Whim of a Hat is a wonderfully inventive mystery whose irreverent charm, in part, is its appealing picture of a world unfamiliar to most Americans. After all, what would you expect from an author who writes on a beach 300 miles south of Bangkok while awaiting the local coconut collection team—a man and his tree climbing monkey. Not so incidentally, Colin Cotterill's next novel starring the feisty Ms. Jimm is called: Granddad, There's a Head on the Beach. Nuff said?

Investigators say a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy fired at the driver of a stolen vehicle after the suspect ignored orders to stay inside the car and reached into his waistband.
Deputy Benjamin Grubb says 27-year-old Eric Valdez was behind the wheel of stolen car stopped late Tuesday in Huntington Park. The deputy fired, but didn't hit anything, when Valdez got out the vehicle.
The Sheriff's Department says Thursday that three people inside the car with Valdez were arrested and booked for investigation of receiving stolen property. Valdez, who ran away when the deputy fired, was arrested at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday for investigation of vehicle theft.
The sheriff's Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating.

Info & Treatments for Kidney Stones & Kidney Disease
About Me
My name is Neville Pettersson and this is my site. I hope you find it useful. I try to keep it updated frequently.
I'm just a regular guy, married with 2 kids. I've created this site to help people find good info about cold sores. You can follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and Pinterest.
Creatinine is a waste product generated by the muscles in their use of energy and doing of work. Blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, refers to nitrogen in the blood resulting from a breakdown of urea, a waste product generated by the liver.
Both of these substances are filtered from the blood by the kidneys and discharged
in urine, so that a high level of either of them is a possible indicator of kidney
disease or dysfunction. In addition to tests for the level of blood urea nitrogen
and of creatinine by themselves, further information may be gained by the ratio between
the two.
Normally, in most people (although this varies by age and gender) the ratio of blood urea nitrogen to creatinine is between ten to one and twenty to one. When the bun creatinine ratio rises significantly above twenty to one, this can indicate acute kidney damage.
Acute kidney damage (also known as acute renal failure) is a severe condition of kidney dysfunction requiring care and fairly aggressive treatment. Acute kidney damage is divided into three categories by reference to the causes of the damage. These categories are "prerenal," "intrinsic," and "postrenal."
Prerenal acute kidney damage results from loss of blood to the kidneys. Intrinsic acute kidney damage is caused by damage to the kidney itself. Post renal acute kidney damage is the result of blockage to the urinary tract.
Continued below....
High bun creatinine levels are a sign of either prerenal or postrenal acute kidney damage, most especially the former: loss of blood to the kidneys resulting in severe kidney dysfunction. When acute kidney damage is diagnosed, therefore, a blood test can help identify the cause and nature of the renal disease.
The causes of blood loss to the kidneys can be obstruction of the blood vessels themselves,
internal bleeding in the upper gastro-
In order to treat prerenal acute kidney damage, one of the first things to do is
to administer intravenous fluids. Surgical methods may also attempt to relieve obstruction
of blood vessels.
Although a high bun creatinine ratio is often a sign of prerenal acute kidney damage, there are other possibilities. It can be a sign of old age, or of decreased muscle mass occurring for some other reason, which causes less creatinine to be produced.
A lower creatinine level results in an elevated bun creatinine ratio, since the blood
urea nitrogen level is being divided by a lower creatinine level. The elevated ratio
can also be a direct result of dehydration. For this reason, the test is not to be
relied on as an isolated diagnostic tool, but only in conjunction with other indicators,
such as overt symptoms of acute kidney damage.
If acute kidney damage is occurring, however, identifying the cause of the dysfunction is very important, as this will determine what treatments to attempt to relieve the problem. Kidney failure is certainly no joke, as it produces fairly severe symptoms and, if untreated, can eventually be fatal. The condition can require changes in lifestyle, especially diet, dialysis to replace kidney function and clean the blood on a temporary basis, or a kidney transplant.
The main usefulness of a test for bun creatinine ratio, then, when the test reveals a higher than normal ratio, is to help guide treatment of acute kidney damage (when it's determined that that is the cause of the abnormally high Bun-
If the cause of the damage can be identified and treated before it goes too far, the kidney can regenerate the damage and restore something close to full functionality.

A part of my childhood dies
Warning: This video contains strong language
It was the spring of 1970. I was eight years old. And I was in love.
The love had blossomed the previous summer when I was seven. Seattle had just gotten a major league baseball team. And the Pilots dominated my evenings in the Summer of '69.
I would bring a quilt into my treehouse and run up an extension cord that would power a radio and a utility light. And there I would keep a scorebook that tracked every pitch of those magical games.
But the following spring, my love jilted me. The Pilots left for Milwaukee – and I needed to find a new love. I had watched the '69 World Series – I decided that Brooks Robinson was my favorite player – and so the Baltimore Orioles became my new love.
Unlike most childhood romances, this one actually paid off. The Orioles won the World Series in 1970 – and I spent the next few years of my adolescence living and dying with the nightly Orioles results. I had the phone numbers for the Times and PI sports departments memorized – and the very patient sportswriters who worked the night desk got used to my nightly calls asking who won the Orioles' game.
The manager of those Baltimore teams was a fiery sparkplug named Earl Weaver. Man, he was fun to watch as he stormed on the field and always made the right game decisons.
Earl Weaver died Saturday at the age of 82. He died of a heart attack on an Orioles fantasy cruise in the Caribbean. All in all, not a bad way to go. But I was a bit sad as I remembered all the great moments he skippered when I was a kid on the mean streets of Ballard.
And I also remembered that Earl Weaver was the star of my all time favorite baseball video. A manager simply cannot get more entertaining than this.
Thanks, Earl, for the great memories you provided my childhood – you will very much be missed.

VISTA -- A suspected drunk driver was arrested after he careened out of control, striking several vehicles including a parked car with three children inside, a sheriff's sergeant said Saturday.
The crash happened at 4:30 p.m. Friday at North Santa Fe Avenue and West Los Angeles Drive in Vista, Sgt. Todd Richardson said. The driver's name was unavailable.
The driver was going north on North Santa Fe Drive in a Ford Taurus when he either fell asleep or passed out, Richardson said. The car veered across the lanes striking an oncoming car at the intersection and continuing into the Royal Liquor parking lot where it hit other vehicles including the one with the children, Richardson said. Then it continued on, hit a metal pole, overturned and slid into the street, he said.
The children were taken to a hospital for evaluation after they complained of some pain, Richardson said. Their conditions were unavailable.
The driver of the Taurus was later booked on suspicion of driving under the influence, Richardson said.

No. 10 Fallbrook (4-6, 2-3) at No. 7 Mira Mesa (6-4, 3-2) – Division I
The Marauders played one of the section's toughest schedules and are hoping that will payoff in the postseason. The Warriors have gone 4-3 since losing their first three. Both quarterbacks, Mira Mesa's Kevin Ozier (1078) and Fallbrook's Tim Welsh (1545) have thrown for more than 1,000 yards this season. Turnovers could play a big role – Fallbrook needs to hang on to the ball to have a shot. Winner gets Escondido.
No. 9 Otay Ranch (5-4-1, 2-3) at No. 8 Vista (6-4, 3-2) – Division I
Both teams rely on strong quarterback play and physical defenses. Could come down to Panthers' home field advantage. Winner plays top seed La Costa Canyon.
No. 12 Hoover (5-5, 2-3) at No. 5 Westview (8-2, 4-2) – Division II
Cardinals coming off big win over Serra. Can Hoover stop Westview's Tommy Hansen and Steven Sousa? Westview's only losses came to Oceanside and Ramona.
No. 11 Monte Vista (5-5, 2-3) at No. 6 Serra (7-3, 4-1) – Division III
Conquistadors are the best second half team in the county. Monarchs quarterback Maurice Payne can do it through the air and on the ground. Four of Serra's wins came by four points or less.
No. 11 Grossmont (4-6, 2-2) vs No. 6 Bonita Vista (6-4, 1-4) at Southwestern College – Division II
The Barons ended a four-game slide last week against Hilltop; the Foothillers had a two-game winning streak snapped last week. Bonita Vista' Bryan Montrueil has emerged as the best back in the section's best backfield.

MOSCOW, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered the country's defense and security officials to hold anti-terrorism drills to ensure safety on public carriers.
His order is in response to last month's terrorist attack on Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, which killed 36 people and injured more than 100, RIA Novosti reported.
Medvedev ordered the chief of Russia's Federal Security Service and the ministers of interior, emergencies, defense and transport services to develop plans to hold security drills on a regular basis.
He made a surprise visit to Moscow's Kievsky railway station Thursday and criticized officials for failing to ensure safety there, and said he wanted it to report steps it had taken to correct the deficiencies to him within three days.
All nine Moscow railway stations received hoax bomb threats Sunday.
Vladimir Yakunin, head of the Russian rail monopoly Russian Railways, said it would install security equipment throughout the system. But he said the government would have to pass new legislation to determine who would use the equipment and who would conduct passenger searches.
