Yeah, I couldn't in good conscience(sp?) teach my guys how to Taze someone and then ask them to voluntarily to get Tazed without doing it myself. You guys know how it is, you get more respect teaching something if you've been through it before.Originally posted by Vinny025@Jul 12 2004, 02:49 PM
Do you also teach Ickeo for defensive techniques? Also, do you teach handcuffing and searching? I remember those days. If you let go of the linking chain of the bad guy its an automatic failure. Also, if your perp is giving you a hard time, pulling up on the linking chain is a fun thing to do. lol
Vinny, as for what I teach, I teach a combination of defensive tactics and ground fighting. The defensive tactics we learn are from a companty called PPCT and is a combination of martial techniques, none of which I can name. LOL. it deals with everything from angle kicks, knee strikes other strikes and touch pressure to gain pain compliance, motor dysfunction, balance displacement, distraction or other techniques on the bad guy. (http://www.ppct.com)
The other thing I am an instructor for is ground fighting/grappling.
That deals with how to react when the fight goes to the ground, where most of them do. It's extremely benificial for one on one encounters when your backup isn't close and you're in a fight for your life.
All of the areas I teach emcompass searching, securing, handcuffing, etc. To be quite honest, I'm a relitively new instructor and I still have to go to OC Spray school and a few other knife defense classes.
And the funniest part of the taser, if you taze someone and their friend comes at you, you can drive stun the friend, and as you're tazing him, the original guy is getting jolted again too.

This afternoon on 'Tickets @ 2' be listening for The Beatles version of "Rock 'n' Roll Music." It's a number they played in their Hamburg days and early live concerts like their appearances on the BBC's "Pop Go The Beatles."
The song was written and recorded by Rock And Roll Icon Chuck Berry in may of 1957 at the Chess Recording Studios in Chicago.
The Beatles idolized early American Rock And Roll and recorded their cover of Chuck Berry's song on his 38th birthday.
When we play it between two and three we'll take caller #5 at1-800-232-KRTH (5784) to win a pair of tickets to see Aerosmith with special guests Cheap Trick December 3rd at Staples Center.

Written on: 18/06/2013 by Angryfuming (1 review written)
Me and two friends booked our holiday with one the beach.com in Feb 2013. Due to fly out on July 8th. On June 3rd they emailed us to say our accommodation had been overbooked and offered us an alternative hotel. We wasn't best pleased but thought at least we have an alternative. Turns out the alternative was not even matching up to we originally booked, we dan cope with more of a walking distance to night clubs but BED BUGS is a real no go!!! They couldn't even offer us any different 3* accommodation as we would have to pay the price difference even though this isn't our mistake!!
We remember being torn between two hotels at the time which were Ebano (what we booked) and Jabeque Hotel. The difference in price was Jabeque was £20 more expensive but we went with Ebano as it seemed nicer. After speaking to them about the Jabeque this was available but would cost us an extra £300 bearing in mind there was only a £20 price difference when we booked. Absolutely disgusting customer service by all staff we encountered!! The reply we got is its not out fault it's the suppliers. OK but you as a company dealt with us as customers and were quick enough to take our booking and money but now cannot come up with a good enough solution.
My advice would be to NOT book with on the beach as you risk your holiday bring messed up 5 months after booking it and 3 weeks before your departure. Bearing in mind we booked in advance to save money which now isn't going to happen as hotel prices have increased the later you leave it!

The Rising Age Gap in Economic Well-being: The Old Prosper Relative to the Young
By: Richard Fry, D'Vera Cohn, Gretchen Livingston and Paul Taylor
Source: Pew Research Center
From Overview:
Households headed by older adults have made dramatic gains relative to those headed by younger adults in their economic well-being over the past quarter of a century, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of a wide array of government data.
In 2009, households headed by adults ages 65 and older possessed 42% more median1 net worth (assets minus debt) than households headed by their same-aged counterparts had in 1984. During this same period, the wealth of households headed by younger adults moved in the opposite direction. In 2009, households headed by adults younger than 35 had 68% less wealth than households of their same-aged counterparts had in 1984.

New Zealand Maori 35-28 England, Napier, June 23
'Grumpy' Johnson rues second half slip
June 23, 2010
Maori captain Liam Messam stretches to score © Getty Images
England coach Martin Johnson admitted it rankled with him to see his side slip to a 35-28 defeat to the New Zealand Maori in Napier on Wednesday.
The tourists twice let a comfortable lead slip having raced into a 13-0 lead with an early try from Steffon Armitage and then recovered from two blistering Maori scores to lead 28-17 at the interval.
But England failed to add to the tries Danny Care and Chris Ashton scored late in the first half and were pointless in the second half as the Maori took control with wing Hosea Gear completing a hat-trick of tries.
"It rankles losing that game because there was a definite chance to win it," said Johnson. "I am a bit grumpy. We said international rugby is brutal and at times people didn't do their jobs well enough in the second half for us to be able to win.
"I think it is (a harsh lesson). We were upbeat at half-time. We knew what we had to do - but we then had to go and do it. We lost our way a bit, we lost our composure slightly, forced a few things and defensively we were poor at the start of the second half.
"If you don't handle their powerful runners you get what we got, which is a couple of tries conceded and a good lead lost. I should be more upbeat about the whole tour but it annoys me to chuck away the game."
England arrived in Napier on the back of a drawn Test series with Australia and an unbeaten midweek record, following a draw and a win against the Australian Barbarians.
"On the whole, this tour and this (midweek) side have been fantastic," added Johnson. "There was some scepticism what value we would get out of fit. The experience has been great for the whole team.
"Lots of guys have really come through, lots of guys have really stood up and will benefit hugely from the experience of playing. Players will have played themselves into the (senior squad to be announced in July) and there will be some learning points for some players to take away and be aware of.
"That is what we came for - to play at a high level so we could find these things out. I was getting asked by players why they aren't starting - they should worry about being good enough."
Danny Care, who scored England's second try from a quick tap penalty, said he was furious when Gear raced through a huge gap in the defensive line.
"It was frantic. They have some fantastic players, the likes of Luke McAlister and Hosea Gear on the wing," said Care. "We came wanting to play and so did they. It was a great game to watch but frustrating for us we didn't come out on the right side of it.
"We got those two tries late in the first half which got us a good platform. We said at half-time we needed to lay a marker and get the next score but we didn't.
"The most frustrating bit was the first 10 minutes of the second half when we threw it away."
Former Sale Sharks centre Luke McAlister, who enhanced his All Black credentials, said it was a special victory for a side celebrating its centenary.
"It is a huge win," said McAlister. "We put a lot of preparation in and the result is not just huge for us but for everyone who has worn the jersey before us and the Maori people of New Zealand."
Maori coach Jamie Joseph said he was surprised by England's expansive style of play when the pre-match talk had been about the power of their pack.
"It sort of surprised me because they scored some tries," said Joseph. "I honestly thought after the haka we were a bit anxious, a bit overawed and it looked like the guys froze for a split second.
"When they scored their first try it woke us up. They really wanted to do it for themselves and that showed in the last 10 minutes, there was no sense of giving in. Everyone would agree it was a positive game of football and probably one of the best in terms of hits and pressure. Those are all the ingredients that make good rugby games.
"For that reason I am really proud of the team and they have shown they can perform on that stage if given the opportunity. There were some real contenders tonight for All Blacks selection. Hosea Gear and Luke McAlister had very fine games.
"Gear is probably one of the best finishers in the game at present. Any opportunity he gets he takes."

Federal officials charged 20 people Wednesday in a scheme to recruit illegal immigrants from Russia and Eastern European countries to work as exotic dancers in New York strip clubs, according to Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Charges against the 20 individuals include racketeering, extortion, visa and marriage fraud, and transporting and harboring illegal immigrants. The accused are alleged to be members of the Gambino and Bonanno organized crime families, according to federal authorities.
"The defendants themselves had one thing in common — the desire to turn the women they allegedly helped enter this country illegally into their personal profit centers,"Bharara said. "Today's arrests have brought an end to their illicit activities."
Several of the accused are alleged to have run the "Strip Club Enterprise," which controlled a series of strip clubs throughout Queens and Long Island. Through these clubs, the accused are alleged to have recruited Eastern European women to enter the United States on student J1 visas to perform as strippers in their enterprises. Prosecutors also charge the defendants threatened physical violence and economic harm if the owners and operators of New York strip clubs as part of a broad extortion scheme.

(I guess if you ordinarily sew with your left foot, you would switch to your right foot) Anyway, I tried it for a while and it does seem to work, but lately, not as much as it once did. If I am sewing for a few hours now, I place a pillow to the back of my chair and drape a heating pad over the pillow. Once in a while I will lean back and rest my back against the pillow, and it feels so good!.........and it allows me to sew a while longer.

Kilborn - McFadden - Gordinier - Ontario - S.D.
I am searching for information on my family.I know that my great-grandfather named Hiram Kilborn married Elizabeth McFadden and I think they lived in Canada - Leeds, Ontario.Moved to South Dakota and had several children including Minta, Della Mae, Gordon, Jemerson Kilborn.Moved to Eugene, OR with several of their kids and are buried in our family cemetery plot at Pioneer Cemetery in Eugene, OR.My mother was Della Mae Gordinier's (Kilborn) daughter, Helen Gordinier.Della Mae married Cornelius Edward Gordinier in, I think, South Dakota, and moved with family to Eugene, OR.
Gordinier family is a mystery as Cornelius Edward Gordinier was adopted somewhere in New York or Illinois area as his father worked on an early train and was killed in a pullman car train accident, along with his wife.Little is known about their history or name but may have been Harriman (?).I have a picture of Cornelius Gordinier riding a one-wheel metal velocypede bike at about 10 years of age in front of his adopted parents home.
Any information on families would be greatly appreciated and would be glad to exchange any information I firstname.lastname@example.com

Torres set to run on return from DL
Torres set to run on return from DL
"The one thing we don't do is we don't steal bases," manager Terry Collins said. "He would bring that dimension, for sure."
Though the Mets will be careful not to disrupt their on-base percentage-oriented offense by running too often, Collins plans to give Torres the green light at all times. The outfielder swiped 19 bags in 25 attempts last season with the Giants, and holds a 74-percent success rate for his career.
Without him, the Mets entered Monday's play tied for last in the Majors with six steals.
As long as he reaches base with any sort of regularity, Torres should at least have plenty of opportunities to run. The Mets plan to slot him right back in the leadoff spot despite the success of rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who will remain on the roster as a platoon left fielder, splitting time with Scott Hairston.
The Mets announced Sunday that they will option infielder Zach Lutz to Triple-A Buffalo prior to Monday's game to make room for Torres.
But there will still be opportunities for Nieuwenhuis, both atop the order and in center field. Because Torres has strained his left calf twice since mid-March, the Mets plan to be careful not to play him too frequently going forward.
"I'm going to be a little cautious in the beginning," Collins said. "The one thing I don't want to do is run him back on the DL after all of this."
Collins wavered only slightly after Sunday's game when asked about Nieuwenhuis, who made another sensational diving catch to rob Jonathan Herrera of a run-scoring extra-base hit in the fifth. Though both Torres and Nieuwenhuis are natural center fielders with little experience at other positions, Torres has had a longer, more established career in center.
And, as Collins quipped, "they hit fly balls to left, too."

I have directed or co-directed more than 25 projects that have examined the impact of ICT on teaching and learning and developed advanced computer environments for education. The funding for these projects has totaled more than US$11 million from funders that include: the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, the National Institute for Education, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, the Exxon Education Foundation, the World Bank, and the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement.
In the area of international and national ICT research, evaluation, and policy:
I worked with the education groups from Cisco, Intel, and Microsoft to design a major international, multi-stakeholder project, now located at the University of Melbourne, to reform international and national assessments so as to measures students' 21st century skills, such as the ability to use ICT to solve complex, real world problems in the context of school subjects.
I am consulting with the Ministry of Education in Singapore on their Third Master Plan for educational ICT to help them think about connecting ICT, education reform, and economic development.
Since 2005, I have consulted with Intel Corporation's Education Initiative and their World Ahead Program on strategic initiatives in developed and developing countries. I connection with this work, I have written white papers, provided keynote addresses, and consulted with government and NGO agencies on the use of ICT to reform education and advance economic development.
I am an expert advisor for Cisco Systems the Global Education Initiative advising on strategic initiatives around the world.
I helped The Partnership for 21st Century Skills to write a policy briefing for educational leaders and politicians that analyzed the implications of global economic trends for curriculum design.
I headed an international evaluation team to review Singapore's First ICT Master Plan and provided recommendations to the Ministry of Education for the design of the second Master Plan. Five years later, the Ministry asked me to return and head another team to review the Second Master Plan and provide recommendations for the design of the Third Master Plan.
The Economics Minister of Chile asked me to be the education specialist on an international panel to review that country's National ICT Plan.
I advised the Hewlett Packard philanthropic department on options for their strategic funding plan.
I conducted an evaluation of the World Links Arab Region (WLAR) project in Jordan, which trained teachers to integrate ICT into their curricula. The evaluation included surveys of teachers, principals, and students in both participating and non-participating schools, as well as case studies of participating schools.
I consulted with the UNESCO Communication and Information Sector to help them develop a set of ICT Standards for Teachers that linked education reform to economic development.
In support of the Millennium Villages Project at Columbia University's Earth Institute, I conducted research on the use of ICT to support rural development.
I visited community technology centers in Uganda and Tanzania, and worked with the Executive Committee and the Education Committee in the rural sub-location of Sauri, Kenya to think about how information and technology could support their development goals.
In preparation for their workshop at the World Summit on the Information Society, I consulted with Intel's Innovation in Education program on how technology could be used to support education reform and economic and social development.
As part of a World Bank infoDev-funded international team, I wrote a handbook on evaluation and monitoring of educational ICT for developing countries.
In Egypt, I consulted with the USAID-funded Project for a Competitive Egypt on a project to introduce computers into Egyptian schools in support of that country's education reform. In the process, I advised the Ministry of Education on how technology and coordinated education reform could also contribute to the country's economic reform goals.
In Thailand I conducted a series of staff development workshops for the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching in Science and Technology (IPST), the agency in Thailand responsible for the development of software, textbooks, and curriculum materials and for in-service teacher training in science, math, and technology. The workshops focus on psychological and social foundations of education, instructional design, and software design. Previously, I worked with IPST to develop a Master Plan for Training Teachers on the Integration of ICT into the Curriculum.
I worked with the International Literacy Institute at the University of Pennsylvania on policy reports related to the use of ICT to promote literacy in developing countries. I have served on an expert panel for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to plan a large-scale international study on the assessment of ICT literacy as part of the (PISA) 2006 study.
SITES Module 2 was a study from 1999-2002, sponsored by the International Association for the Advancement of Educational Achievement, in which I directed a team of researchers from the US, Canada, and the Netherlands to design and coordinate a study in which research teams from 28 countries in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia collected 174 case studies in which technology supported classroom innovation. The findings from the study were published by the International Society for Technology in Education.
The World Bank established the World Links for Development Program (subsequently the Work Links Organization to put networked computers in secondary schools in developing countries and train teachers to integrate them into the curriculum. The program has since grown to serve over a thousand secondary schools in 26 developing countries in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southern and Southeastern Asia. Over a three-year period, my colleague Ray McGhee and I served as the external evaluator for the project. We examined its implementation in 15 countries in Africa and Latin America and making recommendations for practice and policy.
From 1997-2001, my colleague Andy Zucker and I were the external evaluators for the Virtual High School. This was a major U.S. Department of Education-funded program to teach high school courses entirely online. By its fourth year of operation VHS, run by the Concord Consortium and Hudson Public Schools, provided nearly 120 courses to over 1700 students from nearly 200 schools in 25 states. We described VHS, compared it to other virtual schools, and analyzed its success in a book entitled "The Virtual High School: Teaching Generation V".
In 2001, I consulted with the Ford Foundation on the development of a new funding program to support the use of information technology to support educational improvement and reform in developing countries.
In the area of technology and science education:
From 1999-2001, I co-directed a project and collaborated with social scientists and chemists to develop a software package in chemistry called ChemSense. Targeted at both high school and college students, the software was designed to allow students to create chemical structures and molecular animations that illustrated the reactions they conducted on the laboratory bench. Research and development continues in this area at the Center for Technology in Learning.
From 1993-1996, I directed a project and collaborated with social scientists and chemists to conduct research on expertise in chemistry and on student misconceptions. This research resulted in the development of chemical software initially entitled 4M:Chem which was ultimately published by Wiley as SMV:Chem.
I was the evaluator for two large NSF-funded projects to use technology to improve science education. One was a systemic chemistry project centered at the University of California, Los Angeles and the other was a project in biology, conducted at the University of Southern California.

3 accused of trading kids for bird, cash
- |
NEW ORLEANS - A Louisiana woman is accused of trading two young children in her care for a pet cockatoo and $175 cash from a couple who had been trying for years to have their own child, authorities said yesterday.
Donna Greenwell, 53, a long-haul trucker from Pitkin, is charged with aggravated kidnapping, along with would-be adoptive parents Paul J. Romero, 46, and Brandy Lynn Romero, 27, of Evangeline Parish.
"The Romeros had good intentions from what we see," said Keith Dupre, a detective with the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office. "They really wanted to take care of the kids. The kids were well-dressed and seemed to be treated good by the Romero family."
The transaction for the 5-year-old boy and the 4-year-old girl was negotiated by phone after Greenwell spotted a flier at a livestock barn selling a cockatoo for $1,500 and called the Romeros on Feb. 18, Dupre said.
Although Paul Romero had three children from a previous marriage, Dupre said, he and Brandy had tried unsuccessfully for years to have a child together.
When they told that to Greenwell, she allegedly offered to hand over the boy and girl for about $2,000. When the Romeros said they couldn't meet the price, Dupre said, "Ms. Greenwell agreed to make an even trade: the bird for the kids."
Greenwell showed up with the children at the Romeros' home the next day and said she would also need $175 for an attorney to complete adoption paperwork, Dupre said.
Everything began to unravel last week when authorities received a phone tip.
Greenwell's relationship to the children was unclear. Dupre said the children's father, of Leesville, was being questioned and that authorities were looking for the mother, believed to be somewhere in Texas.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Some products are so blindingly obvious, and the need is so great, you often marvel at your own stupidity in not doing something about it before. One such motorcycle accessory is the Pillion Pal. This is simply a webbing belt with large rubber handles covering your own love handles. Put it round your waist, click the buckle fastener (similar to rucksack fasteners) adjust to size and ask the pillion to hang on tight. The handles are big enough to accommodate any size of pillion gloves and the rubber coating is very easy on the hands. Previous to using this simple product, my wife had to artificially dislocate her shoulder (like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon) to reach for the pillion grab rails on my bikes or try and grab my slippery leather jacket with her tiny hands. Acceleration and deceleration were respectively met with knees in my armpits or a clunk as her helmet connected with mine. Smooth riding or not, it was still uncomfortable for her. Overnight this disappeared. My wife now had her own set of reins to hang on to. Manic acceleration? She is still hanging on but this time laughing like a lunatic! Last minute braker? All you feel is a gentle shove against your midriff and no headbutting. The cost is £20, which may seem expensive but it is cheaper than the petrol you would waste retracing your steps looking for your pillion after that spirited take off at the traffic lights. Most bike shops sell them or buy it from one of the big mail order companies. Wish I had bought one years ago. I keep thinking of all those lost girlfriends, trying to thumb their way home after being ejected James Bond style!

For the quickest improvements in your casting I would suggest getting lessons from a good casting instructor and following those up with practice. Books and video's can't see your casts but will make you a more well-rounded caster and may present points that you might not have considered.
I don't believe practicing casting without water hurts at all. You can do almost every cast on land that you can do on water. With weights or grass leaders you can even get a decent roll cast on dry ground.
The beauty of lessons is that you get instant feedback on your casts. This is the stuff you hopefully remember when reinforcing the lessons with practice.
Casting is casting, be it on the water or not on the water. When practicing at the park I start off with close, accuracy work, then tricky shots like curves, aerial mends and single-handed spey techniques and such and then distance mixed in with more accuracy. Every single one of these helps when I get on the water to fish. Part of what I really enjoy in fly fishing lately is going for the hard to reach fish.
I always have a rod in the car and manage to get out just casting 4-5 times a week if I'm not fishing. I'm not letting the lack of nearby water to cast on stop me from improving my game. Fly casting is an integral part of fly fishing and all else being equal the better caster will catch more fish for obvious reasons.
Just as some say they know people who cast well but can't catch fish I know many more people who can't cast well and their catch rate reflects that.

text: While rooting around in the darkroom I came across 2 long buried unopened packages of 16x20 Ilford paper. One was Multigrade III RC Glossy from France apparently circa 1991 and the other was UK Ilfospeed RC Pearl apparently circa 1989. Don't ask - larger things have gotten lost in there for longer periods! I thought what the heck, I'll try it. The bottom line was both produced a nice image. The contrast seems to have held up just fine but the Ilfospeed was 3 stops slower than the MG III. The interesting thing was the unexposed parts of the MG III were fogged to a light gray, but on the Ilfospeed they were snow white. I also found a package of Oriental Seagull RC of similar vintage but it was fogged to a medium gray. So Simon, how did you keep the Ilfospeed from fogging?


text: TV TIMES: "Grey's Anatomy" heartthrob Jesse Williams sat front row Saturday at the Jil Sander men's show in Milan — just one of his stops on a tour to promote the hit TV series in European cities like London and Stockholm. The 30-year-old actor said he would begin shooting a film this fall in which he will play a historical figure from the Seventies, but he declined to say which one. After Milan, he's headed for the Italian coastal towns of Portofino and Cinque Terre, as well as the Renaissance capital of Florence. "I've been working hard. It's time for vacation," he said.

ONE in 10 pensioners is being forced to stay in bed longer to keep warm as a result of rising fuel bills, according to a poll.
Meanwhile one in eight said they planned to stop using parts of their homes to keep energy bills down.
More than 12,000 people over the age of 50, including almost 8000 retired people across Britain, answered the survey for Saga.
Loading article content
A third of people said they had been forced to stop heating as many rooms in their homes and 64% said they were having to wear extra layers of clothing as a result of rising energy costs.
One in five was planning to cut back on other spending so they could afford to heat their homes.
Just over two-fifths who responded to the online poll said they would struggle more than in the past with energy bills this winter. An overwhelming majority, 84%, expressed concern about the rising cost of fuel.
Recently the so-called Big Six firms that dominate the energy supply market all announced above-inflation price hikes.
Paul Green, director of communications at over 50s company Saga, said: "Spiralling fuel costs are striking fear in the hearts of some, but not all, pensioner households. For some, the fear could mean they won't turn their heating on, and in so doing, risk their own health and welfare.."
Jane Vass, head of public policy at charity Age UK, said: "High energy prices along with poorly insulated homes are some of the factors that cause cold homes: a major cause of excess winter deaths.
"Those living in the coldest homes are three times more likely to die a preventable death than those living in warmer ones."

Sony has have created a one minute film for the launch of the PlayStation 3 called High Definition which it says visually illustrates HD functions of the forthcoming console.
The short begins in an elderly woman's apartment, but the scene doesn't stay mundane for very long. A mysterious woman's voice commentates as the apartment explodes into a mass of particles and debris in slow-motion footage, which was captured at 625fps. High Definition was created by Stream.

The internet is a great tool…for wasting time.
Yeah, Al Gore's invention gets a lot of flack. Thanks to the interwebs, we now have a million little distractions right at our fingertips. We have Lolcatz and Facebook, and websites with endless lists of utterly useless facts that keep us glued to our screens for hours.
Most of us in blog-land try to "unplug" for vacations, or at least a couple of weeks a year. But the guy in this video is taking it to the next level. He's leaving the internet entirely behind…for an entire year. Anything that would involve computers communicating with each other is strictly non-kosher.
It made me think, maybe all the time I waste online is cancelled out by the time I'm saving. Hmmm…
The Olden Days of the Early Nineties
Last week, I felt like an octogenarian, describing to my students how I learned to use a library "card catalog" system as a grade school student. The fact that we learned to sift through drawers of actual cards seems so absurdly arcane, I'd rather just scan the shelves until I happened upon a book I wanted. And I was a student in the nineties. The next week, we learned how to use microfiche. Just saying that word makes me chuckle.
As a college student, we did not have YouTube to distract us, but we also did not have Wikipedia. If we didn't know a fact off-hand, we resigned ourselves to live in ignorance forever, because, as I already established, going to the library was a giant waste of time.
"Official" Knowledge
It makes me smile to myself that students complain that teachers still do not let them use Wikipedia as an official source for research. It does not matter that the average time it takes for the Wikipedia community to correct an erroneous article is three minutes. Wikipedia will never be Brittannica…which stopped being printed recently after two-hundred years.
Easier Plagiarism
To be honest, my job would not just be possible fifteen years ago. Not just the part of my job I spend surfing Amazon. With my art students, I'd be doomed to searching for expensive color prints of art, kept in a filing cabinet. My yearbook students would still be cutting heads out of physical photographs to make awful looking collages. (Now we just use Photoshop to make awful looking collages.) And I'd be racking my brain for new projects, rather than just stealing them from Pinterest.
Getting Around
Speaking of wasting time, I think I'd rather stay lost than try to fold a road map. And a map never told you the three nearest places to get ice cream.
So maybe we do waste a lot of time online. But maybe it's just time we've saved in other ways. Just watch this video and see how long this guy spends trying to buy a phone.
What do you think? Does the internet save more time than it wastes? Would you unplug for a year?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Her legs are no longer than an adult's pinkie and her feet are about the size of an adult's fingernails.
Weighing 11 ounces, Kalea Lyn Allen was delivered three months premature Tuesday by Caesarean section after an ultrasound raised concerns, Dr. John Stanley said.
"She's a survivor," said her mother, 27-year-old Deidra Allen of Sayre. "She's fighting."
The infant has about a 40 percent chance of survival and the first six weeks will be the toughest, doctors said. Many of her internal organs - including her lungs, intestines, kidneys - are underdeveloped.
Kalea Lyn Allen weighs just 11 ounces and was delivered three months premature Tuesday after an ultrasound raised concerns, according to Dr. John Stanley of Mercy Health Center in Oklahoma City. The infant has about a 40 percent chance of survival, doctors said.
Kalea will remain hospitalized at Mercy Health Center at least until her original due date of Aug. 12, Dr. Sylvia Lopez said. Deidra Allen is expected to be released in about four days.
Kalea was being kept under a plastic tent in the neonatal intensive care unit with a breathing tube smaller than a straw.

IN THE HIGH PERFORMANCE graphics industry, performance must be combined with quality. It is this neverending race which will lead to initial availability of Nvidia's new Geforce FX cards this month. However, we have learned that ATI's next generation R350 chip which will compete with the Geforce FX is now in mass production, and will definitely be in retail stores in April. It will be officially announced at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany on March 12, 2003.
Specifications of the new chip are being kept under extremely tight scrutiny because of the tight competition between the two rivals. It would give too much lead-time to overclock one chip just to paper launch a product and claim the performance lead.
Many facts are already known. The R300 will be built on a 150 nanometer process. It is basically an overclocked R300 with eight rendering pipelines and two texture units per pipeline. Graphics cards powered by the R350 VPU will be equipped with DDR-II memory with 256-bit bus.
Be aware that there are numerous enhancements to its design and manufacturing process, which will increase performance and yields thus lowering the price of the chip. If yields of the R300 are any indication, ATI could have yields in excess of 90% using TSMC's proven copper process, although without a low k dielectric.

Effort focusing on voluntary conservation easements and collaboration
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY —The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is taking some first steps toward a large-scale preservation effort in Colorado's San Luis Valley that could ultimately protect up to 530,000 acres of wetlands, riparian corridors, and important upland habitats through voluntary conservation easements.
The agency recently held public meetings to get input from landowners and other stakeholders in the region, helping to formulate the framework for a locally-led, voluntary, cooperative partnership that will also help preserve traditional land uses.
"This project represents another opportunity for the Service to partner with the people of the San Luis Valley to protect this important landscape for both wildlife and the people that have worked these lands for generations," said regional USFWS director said Steve Guertin.
"By beginning our partnerships in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, we can determine the level of interest among landowners before exploring whether to broaden those partnerships to other partners elsewhere in the Valley. At every step, we want to listen, learn, and do all we can to support the goals and vision of local landowners and the local community," Guertin said.
The goal of the draft land protection plan is to work with landowners to buy perpetual conservation easements for up to 530,000 acres of land. Conservation easements maintain traditional uses and protect natural resource values, but extinguish most development rights.
Initial efforts will focus on the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where, because of the stewardship efforts of private landowners, there are opportunities to protect important wildlife migration corridors over federal, state, and private lands. If partnerships in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains are successful and of interest to private landowners, the Service would – at a later date – consider whether to pursue similar partnerships with private landowners in other parts of the proposed San Luis Valley Conservation Area.
The draft plan addresses conservation goals and the approach the Service will use to determine priority properties considered for partnerships and conservation easements with interested landowners. The associated environmental assessment details the potential impacts of the proposed federal action. Any potential acquisitions of conservation easements would be from willing sellers.
An integral part of this effort is working with a coalition of local governments and other partners to protect riparian corridors used by the southwestern willow flycatcher and yellow-billed cuckoo by developing a San Luis Valley Habitat Conservation Plan, which is expected to be available in fall 2012.
For more information about the Service's partnership work in the San Luis Valley or the SLV Refuge Complex, to view the draft EA/LPP, or to subscribe to the mailing list, please visit: http://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/planning/lpp/co/slv/slv.html.
Comments will be accepted during the meetings or via letters addressed to: Dr. Mike Dixon, Planning Team Leader, P.O. Box 25486, Denver, CO 80225-0486; or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

On March 21, EMCOR Group, Inc. (EME - Free Report) hit a new 52-week high of $47.81 per share. The momentum in the share price was driven by the company's strong fundamentals and recent contract wins. The stock has been on uptrend, gaining more than 6% since it reported strong fourth-quarter 2013 earnings results on Feb 25.
In the past week, EMCOR was awarded a couple of lucrative contracts. Its subsidiary, F&G Mechanical Corp won a contract for Marbella II Development project in New Jersey on March 18. As per the deal, the company will install the plumbing and fire protection systems at an upcoming luxury apartment.
Prior to this, on March 17, EMCOR's Poole & Kent Company received a contract from Miami Dade County for constructing one of the Master Pump Stations to expand sewer system capacity in key regions of Florida.
EMCOR has been consistently focused on streamlining its business through measures like the exit from the U.K. construction market while simultaneously strengthening its core businesses. The company has also been gaining significantly from increasing investments in oil and gas infrastructure like the ongoing revamping of the petrochemical refineries in the Gulf coast.
Moreover, the company is reaping benefits from the successful integration of RepconStrickland, the leading industrial and refinery service company that EMCOR acquired in July 2013.
The company had reported robust fourth-quarter 2013 results with adjusted earnings of 76 cents per share surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.6% and year ago earnings by 1.3%. The earnings growth was driven by the company's diversified business and robust performance of its U.S. electrical construction segment. Its building services business also improved significantly in the quarter.
Moreover, on Jan 13, 2014, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 33% to 32 cents (or $1.28 annually) in its effort to share more profit with its shareholders. Based on the closing share price of $47.55 on Mar 21, 2014, the new dividend implies a yield of 0.67%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2014 nudged up 0.4% to $2.59 as there has been an upward estimate revision in the last 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2014 is currently pegged at $2.59 per share, reflecting a year over year growth of 16.67% while fiscal 2015 is estimated to be $2.98 per share, translating to year-over year-growth of 14.86%.
The company's commitment toward improving its performance while increasing shareholders' return reflects its free cash flow generating capability, sound liquidity position and better prospects. Looking ahead, the company remains confident of its growth potential, suggesting enhanced value for shareholders. The expected long-term earnings growth rate for the stock is 15.0%.
Another company, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (CBI - Free Report) , which operates in the same industry also achieved a new 52-week high of $87.08 on March 18 on the back of continuous contract wins.
EMCOR currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Investors interested in this sector could consider better-ranked stocks like India Globalization Capital, Inc. and MasTec, Inc. (MTZ - Free Report) , both of which have a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Looking at doing a wine run through the Eurotunnel to stock up.
On the HMRC website it states that the normal limit for importing wine from the EU into the UK is 90 litres and that additional questions may be asked if you bring back more than this.
However, it is not clear if they mean in 1 vehicle or per person.
If the Mrs and me are in the car would 180 litres of wine be OK? Or would they start getting heavy on us?
I know it's a lot of wine but just want to get the best value out of a trip!

How much could you (and everyone else) pay for health care in the years ahead thanks to the president's health care law? According to the nation's insurers, a lot more -- in the individual market an average of double what we pay now with some rates soaring by more than 400 percent. That's what the nation's 17 largest insurers told the House Energy & Commerce Committee. You can see the whole report here.
"Internal cost estimates from 17 of the nation's largest insurance companies indicate that health insurance premiums will grow an average of 100 percent under Obamacare," reported the Washington Examiner. "[S]ome will soar more than 400 percent, crushing the administration's goal of affordability."
"The report said existing customers in the individual market can expect rate hikes of 73 percent," wrote The Hill. "[N]ew customers' premiums will cost 96 percent more. Small businesses could see rates climb by 50 percent, according to data from one insurer."
Health & Human Services Secretary Sebelius herself admitted premiums will increase for Americans.
See Energy & Commerce's state-by-state breakdown to get an idea of the higher costs ahead under ObamaCare, and read more in the report here.
With all the new "mandates, taxes, and fees," as well as a tower of new regulations (seriously -- a red tape tower), ObamaCare is undermining our economy by driving prices up and making it harder for small businesses to hire. Then of course, there's this: the IRS will "play a dominant role in health care" under the president's law. Do we trust these guys to "enforce most of the laws involved in the reform?"
The House will vote today to fully repeal the health care law. Learn more about this vote, and other successful efforts to repeal and defund parts of the law, here.

Myrexis Suspends Development Activity on All Programs
Myrexis (Nasdaq: MYRX), today provided an update on recent developments and reported results for its fiscal full year ended June 30, 2012.
In February 2012, the Company announced that it had suspended development activity on all of its preclinical and clinical programs and retained Stifel Nicolaus Weisel, an investment banking firm, to assist in reviewing and evaluating a full range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Thereafter, in March 2012, the Company initiated an alignment of its resources involving a phased reduction in its workforce from approximately 59 employees to 10 current employees.
Based on the Company's evaluation of strategic alternatives, it determined to pursue the acquisition of one or more commercial-stage biopharmaceutical assets, with the goal of building a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company by optimizing their performance and profitability. Integral to these efforts, on May 11, 2012, the Company announced a change in management, including the appointment of Richard B. Brewer as President and Chief Executive Officer and David W. Gryska as Chief Operating Officer, collectively bringing an extensive track record of commercializing, acquiring and marketing pharmaceutical products throughout their careers. In addition, both Mr. Brewer and Mr. Gryska were appointed as members of the Board of Directors.
On August 15, 2012, the Company announced the death of Richard B. Brewer, its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors appointed David W. Gryska as the acting President and Chief Executive Officer while considering succession plans. In addition, the Board of Directors is further evaluating its strategic direction in light of this development and the Company's progress to date in identifying attractive biopharmaceutical assets

Yet "Vacancy" uses the simplicity of that premise to its advantage, reducing the story to its purest elements and using them to scare the poop out of us. Written by newcomer Mark L. Smith and directed by relatively uncredited Hungarian filmmaker Nimrod Antal (yes, Nimrod), "Vacancy" is lean and efficient. It has only five speaking roles, it covers a span of just a few hours, and it runs barely 80 minutes without the credits. If it were on TV, I don't even know where you'd put the commercials without interrupting something. It has no downtime.
It stars Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale as David and Amy Fox, a bickering, soon-to-be-divorced couple on a long car trip back from Amy's parents' anniversary party. Now their car has malfunctioned on the back roads of Podunk, and the only buildings in sight are a closed gas station and a motel that probably looked very sleek and modern in 1950.
With no choice other than sleeping in the car a mile down the road where they left it, the Foxes check in with Mason (Frank Whaley), the squirrelly, bespectacled hotel manager whose behavior is weird enough to warrant a double-take but not so bad that it requires fleeing the premises. He sets them up in room 4, where they are soon harassed by a pounding on their front door and on the wall in adjoining room 3.
Then there are the video tapes. The room has a VCR and a stack of homemade tapes in which people are ambushed and killed in hotel rooms that look ... just ... like ... THIS ONE! David searches the room feverishly. Sure enough: cameras everywhere, in the air-conditioning vents and behind the baseboards. The tapes are a warning, or a threat, or something. Surely David and Amy will meet the same fate as the people in the videos unless they act quickly.
A sort of nervous tension has been building through all this, and now it kicks into high gear and lasts for most of the rest of the film. David and Amy are set upon by men in blank-faced masks, who try to get into the room while the terrified couple tries to find an escape route or a working phone line. (You get no cell phone reception out here, obviously. How will filmmakers isolate their characters 10 years from now, when there is literally no place in America where you can't get a signal?)
Antal shoots everything in an energetic but restrained manner, eschewing the rapid-fire editing and over-zealous sound effects that many directors use nowadays in their thrillers. Anxiety and dread are created by the situations and by the characters' responses to them, not by having bad guys jump out from behind doors while the soundtrack goes "CHWING!" Antal knows he has a good thing going here, and he doesn't have to rely on gimmicks to sell it.
It's hard to come up with a good ending for movies like this. If you throw in too many twists, you run the risk of seeming ludicrous. If you don't throw in enough twists, the audience goes, "That's it?" I won't say which route "Vacancy" takes, only that, after a nearly flawless 75-minute routine, it doesn't quite stick the landing. But it gets the ol' heart pounding well enough before that, so maybe I should just be glad I survived it at all.

It was fun making tight pants around my leg, but leaving enough poof at the ankles to sag around the shoes. I

A $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of four burglary suspects who have been active in the unincorporated areas of Vista since January.
A Sheriff's Department detective said the burglars have struck at least 10 times at homes north of Vista and in the hills north of San Marcos.
The burglars appear to follow a set routine, sheriff's Detective Lisa Jenkins said.
One knocks on the front door to see if anyone is home. If there is no response, then one or two go around to the back to try to find an open door or window, or break into the house by smashing a window. Most of the stolen items have been electronics, jewelry and cash.
The series began in January and includes three burglaries last week.
In all but one instance, the houses have been unoccupied, and the burglaries have all occurred during daylight hours.
On Jan. 27, Jenkins said, a man was in his house and although he hadn't heard anything unusual suddenly was confronted by a burglar. The man wrestled with the thief, but the burglar got away and ran to a Black Dodge Charger being driven by a woman.
A private security camera at one of the burglarized homes captured video of one of the thieves as he rang a door bell on March 6.
On numerous occasions, Jenkins said, witnesses have reported a newer black Dodge Charger, an older blue sedan or a van in the area of the burglaries.
Numerous reports of possible break-ins have also occurred in the area, but it's unknown if they were linked to the burglary series, Jenkins said.
Most of the homes that have been hit are in semi-rural, hilly areas.
The suspects were described as a black male, 16 to 18 years old, 5 foot 7 inches tall with a thin build and short black hair; a black male, 20 to 22 years old, 6 feet tall and wearing dark clothing; a Hispanic or white male, 5 foot tall and weighing about 150 pounds; and a black female.
Crime Stoppers is offering the $1,000 reward. Anonymous tips can be made by calling (888) 580-8477 or by emailing or texting messages to sdcrimestoppers.com.

Last year after Memorial Day I went by Sur la Table and bought a red, white, and blue set of fabulous picnic ware to use for this year's celebration. Well, I just wrapped that and packed it in a box. Maybe I can use it for the 4th of July.
It feels like we've been packing forever. I'm just grateful we've been able to do it in small parts. It would be a haphazard mess if I had to pack up our entire house in a couple of weeks.
I've still squeezed in some reading late at night before I pass out. I know some women can't sleep during the third trimester. I am so tired when I crawl into bed every night that falling asleep isn't an issue, even if the baby is kicking up a storm.

Gluten Free Pizza Delicious in Calgary
Hey! I recently found out that I am alergic to wheat of all things, so I figured I was condemned to a no pizza existence, which for me is a fate worse than death. BUT WAIT! Last week I went to my old buddy Pizza Bob's plave in Calgary, and tied something new. A gluten free pizza! That means, it has no wheat flour at all. I had the newest gluten free offering, which was the gluten free pulled pork. WHOA! Instead of tomatoe sauce, they have a buttery pork kind a gravy on it. Anyways, the sauce was amazing, and the pizza was the best I ever had at Pizza Bobs. I actually enjoyed it MORE than my usual, which used to me "Ami's Favorite". Wow, I hope more restaurants start serving gluten free food, because I was amazed that it could be so good. How about a gluten free bagel or croisant? Do they exist? I'm gonna find out. Try this pulled pork pizza, if you don't flip over it, I will be shocked. Yummie! Of course, the rest of my Pizza Bob experience was the usual... great friendly people, live blues music and Kareokee on the weekends. Kensington rd at crowchild. I love it.

Hours after a community fundraiser for an El Cajon woman whose mother and child were killed in a shooting and house fire earlier this week, officials positively identified the two victims.
Alyssa Rakov was overwhelmed by what she saw when she walked into a private room in the back of Hooleys Irish Pub and Grill in Rancho San Diego Thursday night.
There were bags filled with clothing, household goods and most importantly, pictures of her mother Beverli and 14-month-old daughter Rhilee.
Rakov lost nearly all of her possessions when her estranged husband, Kevin Collier, killed their daughter and Rakov's mother on Sunday, and then burned down her childhood home on Prince Street.
On Friday morning, the county medical examiner said Beverli Rakov, Rhilee Collier and Kevin Collier died from gunshot wounds to the head. Kevin Collier's death was ruled a suicide.
In the days before the fundraiser, Alyssa Rakov pleaded with family and friends to give her any copies of pictures of her mother and daughter to replace the ones lost in the fire.
Her wish came true.
She also got four truckloads of items from caring people who just wanted to help her out. Hooleys also gave her 25 percent of the restaurants profits from Thursday night.
One man even offered to pay for her rent on a new apartment for up to a year.
She told NBC 7 that she couldn't be more grateful and that the donations would also help her friend Lacie Lowe.
She also lived in the home on Prince Street with her young son Aiden. They lost everything in the fire.
Rakov released this statement at the fundraiser.
"I just want to thank everyone for all their support. It amazes me how much people have come together. With this continued support, I will get through this, one minute at a time. I will not let him break me. I will be strong for my mom and my little monster because my mom would have been strong for me. Again, thank you everyone for being there for me. I couldn't do any of this without help and support from everyone around me."
Investigators say 32-year-old Kevin James Collier opened fire on police on Sunday, after officers came to the home to respond to a domestic violence call. After firing at the officers, investigators say Collier ran back inside the home and set the house on fire.
El Cajon police officer Jarred Slocum is recovering in the hospital from a gunshot wound to the head he suffered during the rampage.
Earlier Sunday, Beverli Rakov had swapped text messages with a friend.
"Police are here. My son-in-law has taken my grandbaby and disappeared," Rakov texted her friend of 30 years around 8 a.m. Sunday.
"I've never been so scared in my life Heather," another text said. "He has guns and he's going to shoot my daughter."
"He has lost his f—in mind," she wrote.
Court documents show Alyssa Rakov filed for divorce and full custody of their daughter just days before the shooting citing irreconcilable differences. Those documents also show she wanted full custody of Rhilee.
Friends of Alyssa Rakov say Collier hacked her Facebook page and started posted things like "I plan to sit and take all my ex's money."
An ominous post late Saturday night read "I have HUGE plans for tomorrow, so have a good night."

Kafeel's family still clueless about his last rites
Vicky Nanjappa in Bangalore | August 08, 2007 18:55 IST
A week after Kafeel Ahmed, the suspected Glaslow bomber, succumbed to his burn injuries, his family in Bangalore are clueless about where his body will be buried.
Intelligence sources in Bangalore maintain that the body will be buried in the United Kingdom. But their UK counterparts are worried about law and order problems which may arise if the last rites are conducted there.
Meanwhile, Kafeel's family is still awaiting official confirmation about whether the person who succumbed to his injuries in a Glasgow hospital on August 3 is their son.
A family member told rediff.com that Kafeel's mother Dr Zakia Ahmed wanted to travel to the UK to collect her son's body. But she decided to wait for a confirmation from the authorities.
According to sources, the UK authorities are planning a quiet burial. They fear that the burial site may end up becoming a memorial for other fundamentalists.
However, Zakia refuses to be deterred by these problems. She wants her family to live a normal life, as the Ahmeds have hardly stepped out since Kafeel's involvement in the foiled Glasgow attack came to light.
"Where do we look for confirmation? Neither the Indian High Commission nor the officials in Bangalore know anything," says one of Kafeel's family members.
According to reliable sources, no DNA tests have been conducted on the body so far. A post mortem is expected to be conducted by the end of this week. Once the identity of the deceased has been ascertained, an official communication will be given to the family members.

If you have doubled your profits over the past five years of financial crisis, you must be doing something right. And this is what Elementis, the speciality chemical company, has done.
• Read more share tips in the Questor Column
One of its strengths is that it has a large number of customers in a diverse range of industries, from architectural and industrial coatings and oilfield drilling, all the way to personal care.
"This diversity is its strength," said James Henderson, who runs the Lowland and Henderson Opportunities investment trusts.
"Its customers come from a very diverse number of industries with no one customer accounting for a significant percentage of the sales."
Adding to the company's "pricing power" – its ability to control its own prices – is the fact that its products account for just a small part of the total cost of the customer's end products but are of fundamental importance to their performance, Mr Henderson said.
Sales are also well diversified geographically, with Europe, the United States and the rest of the world having roughly equal shares.
"It can be dangerous speaking positively about a share just before its interim results announcement [due on July 30], especially when the corresponding period the previous year had been strong," Mr Henderson said. "However, Elementis has in recent years become a high-quality speciality chemical company."

Fans are eager for SDSU-USD to meet on gridiron
BROOKINGS -- After a nine-year gap, the biggest football rivalry in the state starts up again Saturday.
The South Dakota State University Jackrabbits will host the University of South Dakota Coyotes at 2 p.m. at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. And a group of Mitchell men are excited to see the latest battle in the athletic war between the state's two largest universities.
Tom Dice, owner of Dice Financial Services Group in Mitchell, plans to be at the game with five friends from Mitchell. Four are Coyotes and two are Jackrabbits.
"Historically, we used to go with about four guys on both sides," Dice said Thursday. "We've missed it. It's unfortunate that the fans, speaking as a fan, have had to miss the opportunity to see these two teams play for the past nine years.
"It's a tragedy. The fans were the losers," he said. "But that's over. Bottom line, they're together."
He's going with Ron Johnson and Jerry Garry, who are SDSU alumni, and USD grads Pat Clark, Bryan Hisel and Steve Culhane.
"We'll drive up together and have a good time," Dice said. "On the way back, I expect the SDSU guys will be bragging. I'll be complaining about the fact they don't have a dome and I'll be freezing."
He said there's always a lot of laughter and good-natured teasing during the trip.
"None of us are terribly big fans," said Dice, who graduated from USD in 1967, where he majored in accounting and business administration. "This is the one game we go to.
"Win or lose, it doesn't really matter. It's more just the enjoyment of the outing."
Johnson, Avera Queen of Peace's director of pharmacy, graduated from SDSU's Pharmacy College in 1980. He has attended several SDSUUSD games with his Mitchell friends, and said it's always enjoyable.
"I love football, for one thing," he said. "We stop along the way, enjoy the game and do a lot of bantering, and then have dinner before heading home."
Johnson said while the USD and SDSU guys both want their schools to win, the friends don't take the outcome too seriously. No one gets upset over the outcome, or the jokes that are lobbed around like a pitch on a sweep.
"I don't think that's ever happened," he said. "It's just good fun."
Jamie Grosdidier, of Mitchell, has a different perspective. He played in the rivalry game. After starring at Mitchell High School, he was an SDSU running back from 1987 to 1992.
Grosdidier won't be able to attend this year's game, since his son has a hockey game in another town, but he will try to catch part of the game on TV. He said he's glad to see SDSU and USD compete against each other.
"I think it's great," Grosdidier said. "It's great to see they're going after each other again."
'Both schools are excited'
For those not attending the game, it will be on TV. Tyler Merriam, SDSU's coordinator of broadcast services, said the game will be televised live in South Dakota.
The telecast is on Midco Sports Net, which is available on the Midcontinent cable system. The game is not available on DirecTV or Dish Network. Live video of the game is also available on the Jackrabbit Extra, a subscription-based service on GoJacks.com.
"Watch parties" are set in Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Denver for SDSU fans who want to see the game.
SDSU Athletic Department staffers are predicting at least 15,000 fans will be at the game, eager to see the two in-state rivals slam pads one more time.
"I think both schools are excited about it," said Bryan Boettcher, USD's sports information director. "This has been a rivalry for so long, since the late 1800s."
SDSU Sports Information Director Jason Hove said this game has been long-anticipated by fans across the state.
"I know all the reserved seats have been sold out basically since they went on sale," Hove said.
Aside from the war for bragging rights, the game has a lot of meaning for SDSU.
The Jacks are ranked 21st in the nation, and are 7-3 overall, 5-2 in the conference.
SDSU has to win to guarantee a playoff berth. USD, on the other hand, is 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Coyotes have lost eight straight.
They're playing for pride -- and a chance to knock off their biggest rival. Despite the down season, USD boosters are ready to see their redsuited team tangle with the blue-clad Jacks.
"Fans have waited a long time to renew this rivalry," Boettcher said. "I don't think the fact that it's a onewin season dampens that."
Hove said the game is so anticipated, in some ways it overshadowed the university's homecoming game and events. "I think it's bigger than Hobo Day," he said. The series stand at 50-48-7 now, with USD having the edge. The first time the two schools met on the gridiron was in 1889 in Sioux Falls, and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. The last time they played was in 2003 in Vermillion, and SDSU won 22-11. After that, as both teams took winding roads to Division I status, they landed in different conferences, and didn't meet.
Last year, the Jacks and the 'Yotes played a pair of basketball games for the first time in eight years, and those games were also met with tremendous fan interest. Saturday's gridiron contest will be no different.
Possible record crowd
It will be one of the biggest football games at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium since the Jacks defeated NDSU 29-24 for the Great West Football Conference title on Nov. 17, 2007, Hove said.
That game drew a record 16,345 fans.
That same day, the school announced a major gift from a group of donors, and the volleyball team won the Summit League Conference title minutes after the football game ended, he said.
Saturday's game may threaten that attendance record.
"I think our fans have been looking forward to this game all year," Hove said. "It's probably similar to a Hobo Day game. There's a lot that's riding on this for us.
"We're bringing in some additional bleachers," he said. "And there will be standing room as well."
Coughlin-Alumni has seating for about 11,000 people, but thousands more will find a place to sit or stand. A large video board will be set up on an adjacent practice field so fans can watch the game while soaking in the atmosphere, Hove said. The weather is supposed to be crisp -- in the mid-50s -- and clear, ideal football conditions. It will be the first USD-SDSU football game for almost all the students, and the kids on both campuses are still learning what the Coyotes vs. the Jackrabbits is all about.
"They don't know a lot about the rivalry," Hove said. Kayla Bessler, a 2012 SDSU graduate and staff assistant at the SDSU Alumni Association, said she is eager for the game. Bessler said a lot of students are getting used to the idea that playing USD is a big deal. She's pumped for the game, and expects the crowd to be loud and enthusiastic.
Boettcher said USD coach Joe Glenn, who played in three USD-SDSU games, has been telling his players about the game's meaning. The veteran coach is in his first year at the helm of his alma mater.
"For our seniors, this is their final game, and their first chance to play SDSU," he said. "They've probably heard a lot about it. Joe Glenn being an alum is certainly excited about it. He can't wait to get going. The last group missed out on it."
The SDSU players are focused more about getting into the playoffs, Hove said.
"I think it's much more about doing what we must do on Saturday to lock up a playoff berth," he said.
SDSU is prepared for the large crowd, and is also ready in case some fans are a little bit too exuberant, Hove said.
SDSU staffers met with the University Police Department on Tuesday, and extra security will be on hand, he said.
"We just want it to be a positive atmosphere," Hove said. "We want to rekindle this rivalry in a positive light. People who are here to cause trouble, they won't be here for long.
"There will always be some people who want to instigate something or other," he said. "We want the game to be the focal point of the afternoon. I think our fans want to be responsible with so much riding on this."
Last fall, USD erected a billboard along Interstate 29 on the edge of Brookings. It depicted a ravenous coyote chasing a fleeing jackrabbit, with the words, "Have an old friend for dinner" on it, and a reminder about the 2012 football game.
The billboard garnered a lot of attention when someone hung a dead coyote from it.
Dice laughs as he talks about the billboard.
"It was just designed to inflame the rivalry," he said.
It doesn't appear this game needed any extra fuel. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m., and the cheers may be heard in Mitchell.

Philippe Guigal pictured here at Ch d'Ampuis, son of Marcel and general manager and winemaker for Guigal, gives a realistic account of the 2008 vintage in the northern Rhône. After weather 'worthy of London' in the run up to the harvest, they did have fine weather during the harvest itself.
Regarding the harvest, I'll try to sum up the controversial feeling we have right now. June, July and August have been globally cloudy and rainy (except the day of our wedding!).
Therefore, coming back from our summer holidays end of august, we were quite pessimistic. The pressure of diseases was very strong: mildew, black rot, botrytis, etc. Unfortunately, we saw incredible rainfalls early September and we almost lost everything.
Following this period, the only way to avoid a complete disaster would have been to have strong winds, sunshine (to dry the grapes) and cold temperatures (to avoid the propagation of botrytis) and this is exactly what happened.
Therefore, we can say today that thanks to the outstanding weather conditions we had during the three weeks of harvest, we have saved the vintage.
But I do not agree with some growers starting to describe 2008 in advance as a 'great vintage'. The conditions have been ideal during the harvest but the damage was done before.
The result is an overall quality that can be described as average to mediocre and some rare exceptions with good wines.
We have been very successful with the treatments against diseases in our estate and the yields reached about 37 hl/ha, but globally the decrease is between 25 and 35%. We can consider it is a small crop in volume even if it is too early to announce these predictions yet.
