Linebacker Joshua Alaeze is still looking for his first BCS scholarship. The 6-foot-1, 229-pounder out of Parkville, Md. holds two offers so far, but believes more could be coming soon.
"I've got offers from New Mexico and Towson," he said. "I've been talking to a few coaches from Alabama, Southern Cal and Florida.
"I think Florida could offer. I'm headed down there for camp this summer. I've also been talking to Coach Norton at USC. He's planning to come to my school next month. Both of them like my film a lot.
Article Continues Below
"Wake Forest has been talking to me too. They just want me to come down for a visit and meet me in person. They know what happened with my brother and they want to see what kind of person I am. I've been busy and couldn't make it down. They do think I'll be an impact player."
While visits haven't happened much yet, Alaeze is looking at making some soon.
"I'm thinking about going to Wake Forest for their spring game and perhaps North Carolina sometime soon," he said. "My father had talked about visiting Alabama possibly for their spring game also."
The Maryland prospect claims no favorites at this moment.
"I'm hoping for anything," he said. "I want any school that is recruiting me. They stand out to me the most."
Alaeze posted 89 tackles, six sacks, eight forced fumbles on his way to honorable mention all-state and all-metro honors.

ELLEN DEGENERES leaves no opportunity untapped, not even a few seconds of chat on "American Idol."
Casey James, this season's golden-haired heartthrob, was waiting for Ms. DeGeneres, the newest judge on "American Idol," to assess his performance of the Rolling Stones hit "It's All Over Now." Ms. DeGeneres began with his good looks — and her own public persona.
"Casey, for most women, their hearts are going to start racing just looking at you, right, but then, for people like me ..." She paused, holding the beat while judges and audience members tittered over the implied allusion to her being a lesbian. As the laughter swelled, Ms. DeGeneres held up a finger, prolonging the joke. Then, with a knowing grin, she delivered the punch line: "...blondes ..."
Ms. DeGeneres, one of America's most popular female comedians and talk-show hosts, is also one of its most beloved gay entertainers — and one of the few who markets herself as such. And she finds a way to remind audiences of her sexual status on almost every episode of "American Idol." More than in any other of her ventures, Ms. DeGeneres's performance on America's favorite television show suggests how hard she works to seem effortlessly funny and how determined she is to be openly but unthreateningly gay. She doesn't need the work, but she appears to want the demographic — "Idol" is her chance to expand her reach to a younger, more pop-obsessed audience, the Hulu Generation of viewers, who prefer to download their entertainment rather than press the remote. And Ms. DeGeneres, funny, irreverent and also quite cautious onstage, is setting herself up as the Jon Stewart figure on "Idol" that people under 30 can trust.
She already has their parents. Her syndicated talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," was an instant hit when it went on the air in 2003, reviving a career that had faltered after she came out as a lesbian in 1997. She is now a leading candidate for Oprah Winfrey's throne when "The Oprah Winfrey Show" closes down next year. And that's just her daytime realm. She has punched every ticket to mainstream success: she was a fish in the Disney-Pixar animated film "Finding Nemo," she has hosted the Emmys and the Oscars, and currently she stars in ads for American Express, Vitaminwater Zero and Simply Ageless cosmetics for Olay and CoverGirl — a coup for a lesbian in her 50s best known for a tomboyish, no-makeup look.Continue reading the main story
Even her private life is a thriving enterprise, served up as an affirmation of gay marriage set in a Harlequin romance frame. Ms. DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi showed their gauzy wedding video on "Oprah" last year as part of a major campaign for gay true love and happiness. Now Ms. DeGeneres is bringing all of that with her on America's most conventional reality show.
It's a pop music version of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom," a show that middle-American parents and children watch together, and for all the sexy costumes and sultry singing, "American Idol" is surprisingly square. Last season, the runner-up, Adam Lambert, didn't confirm he was gay until after a winner was picked, even though he flaunted it in every song arrangement and flamboyant costume change. The "Idol" judge Simon Cowell and the show's host, Ryan Seacrest, taunt each other with awkward accusations of homosexuality, like middle school boys at band practice.
She has little experience in the music business, but midway through her first season Ms. DeGeneres has all but hijacked the show, playing second fiddle to no one, not even the overbearing Mr. Cowell. She has elevated the tone with her own style of mischievous good spirits and well-honed, down-to-earth charm. She couldn't be friendlier or more congenial, but she doesn't quite blend with the other judges; at times, her facial expressions betray a quizzical distance from the show's cheesier moments. It makes her all the easier for viewers to identify with, but she also makes the other judges look all the more like show business hacks.
There is a power shift playing out onstage. Ms. DeGeneres sometimes looks like the keen, dedicated new teacher who wins over students but is treated with polite suspicion by burned-out veterans in the faculty lounge.
She certainly tries harder. The alpha judge, Mr. Cowell, is a showy enunciator, but the words he utters with British bite are quite banal ("pointless" and "silly" and "useless" ). The other judges pay almost no attention to syntax or cliché — contestants are repeatedly told they "nailed it" or "hit it out of the park." Randy Jackson, in particular, never tires of telling contestants, or as he constantly calls them, "dawg," that they are "pitchy" or that they are "the bomb."
Ms. DeGeneres keeps reaching for fresh, incongruous metaphors. She compared one singer's uneven performance to the two panels of "a hospital gown" and a standout performance by another contestant as "Snooki's pouf" (a reference to the bouffant hairdo of a cast member of "The Jersey Shore").
She is effusively kind to contestants, and like the judge she replaced, Paula Abdul, Ms. DeGeneres makes a point of complimenting even bad singers for their clothes or appearance, which also gives her a quick way to remind audiences that she is a lesbian. Addressing Katie Stevens, who performed "Wild Horses" in a 1950s-style floral party dress, Ms. DeGeneres said, "Well, first of all, I almost wore that." When Aaron Kelly, 16, the youngest contestant, appeared onstage with his hair moussed into a choppy Tintin thatch, she said, "Are you trying to do your hair like mine now?"
And she certainly does the homework. Ms. DeGeneres was the only judge who expressed concern for Paige Miles, who had struggled in rehearsals with laryngitis (and has since been voted off). Mr. Jackson said he had no idea, as did Mr. Cowell, and he is one of the executive producers of "American Idol." But it says something about Ms. DeGeneres's invisible cloak of authority that a week later, both Mr. Jackson and Mr. Cowell made a point of expressing solicitude for Mr. Kelly's voice troubles. Mr. Cowell saluted his bravery in overcoming "tonsillitis, laryngitis, whatever you've got."
Mr. Seacrest turns to Ms. DeGeneres when his raillery with Mr. Cowell gets out of hand. Once, when Mr. Cowell was goading Mr. Seacrest ("Even though you like what I'm wearing," Mr. Cowell, said, "stay where you are"), Mr. Seacrest leaned over the desk to Ms. DeGeneres for a quick kiss — less a sign of love than a show of allegiance to a rival power.
Ms. DeGeneres doesn't sit next to Mr. Cowell, and that distance speaks volumes. It is Kara DioGuardi, who was the new judge last season, who has fallen into the Abdulian role of Judy to Mr. Cowell's Punch. They squabble, and sometimes playfully paw each other, and he dismisses her opinions with a misogynist's contempt. When she told a contestant that he wasn't bringing enough antiwar emotion to the Stones song "Gimme Shelter," Mr. Cowell scoffed, "What do you want, a tank onstage?" After Ms. DioGuardi praised a performance, Mr. Cowell raised her chin with his hand, as if it were a dog's snout, and said, "So I think that, while Missy here loves it, that's a good reason to do the opposite."
He wouldn't do that to the other woman on the panel.
The stature Ms. DeGeneres has on "Idol" hasn't bled over into her talk show. There, she remains as clownish and self-deprecating as ever, a droll observer of human folly and every viewer's best friend. She still opens each show with a little dance, which is charming because it is so unchoreographed — she moves like a college freshman at a Dartmouth mixer. And her skits are silly, a mix of whimsy and practical jokes — like pretending to be a masseuse at a spa and placing used tea bags on the face of a woman wearing a silk mask over her eyes.
She doesn't have many equals. Rosie O'Donnell, who is planning a new daytime talk show that she hopes will occupy the space left by "Oprah," is possibly the other best-known lesbian in the comedy business, but she is less a rival than a foil.
The tempestuous Ms. O'Donnell allows anger, feuds and even family psychodramas to flow through her public appearances, particularly during her tenure on "The View." Ms. DeGeneres keeps personal vendettas and private angst tightly in check.
On the few occasions when she has dropped the bonhomie, it has backfired in viral YouTube ridicule, most memorably in 2007, when she wept uncontrollably onstage over a pet adoption gone wrong (a pet shelter denounced her for adopting a dog and then giving it to her hairdresser instead of returning it to the shelter).
She has since made a point of staying sunny, blithe and homespun. Even her myriad ad campaigns seek to paint her as the anti-diva: not a show business star but a cheeky interloper, Everyman's representative in Hollywood.
So it says something about Ms. DeGeneres — and the sophomoric spirit of "American Idol" — that a judge known for her impish, childlike wonder is increasingly the only grown-up in the room.Continue reading the main story

Anecdotal evidence suggests that writing a dissertation involves hard work, dedication and increased levels of stress. While hard work has been reported to be rewarding for some, others have associated it with hypertension, increased McDonald's consumption, and hair loss (Schwartz, Pickering, & Landsbergis, 1996).
Therefore, it is not surprising that several studies have looked at stress reducing techniques (Grossman, Niemann, Schmidt, & Walach, 2004). However, only few authors have explored stress reducing methods in the context of unorthodox study practices. In the current study, we assess the efficacy of novel stress reducing interventions in three MSc Neuroscience Students undertaking night time study. Night time study poses several challenges, including a shortage of establishments trading in caffeine and food, an impaired circadian rhythm, and stigmatisation by society. Therefore, stress-reducing interventions must consider these challenges and make best use of limited resources.
This study has been approved by the Tesco Horse Meat Ethics Committee.
Participants: 1 male and 2 females (mean age 22) with a dissertation deadline at the end of July were recruited for the study. Inclusion criteria comprised studying in New Hunts House library between 11pm and 11am for at least 4 weeks.
The participants were found to have a mean Common Sense Index Score of < 2.
Methods and Procedure:
Several stress reducing techniques were implemented:
1) Sit-ups, push-ups and yoga in Guy's Quad
This was a refreshing break, and was especially effective in increasing blood circulation to the brain. Furthermore, the privacy associated with night-time meant that passers-by did not throw the participants confused and judgemental looks. Based on anecdotal evidence, the author does not recommend wearing a skirt while performing headstands.
2) Tree-hugging
The resulting sense of warmth, love and oneness with nature helped cleanse the body and mind. However, some participants did not know where to draw the line and got a little carried away…
3) Caffeine and Sugar
Participants attempted to re-fuel and keep themselves awake with the help of vending machines. These were assumed to be functioning 24 hours a day.
However, the participants realised the importance of not making assumptions…
Participants were taught that it is crucial to following instructions after daringly drinking the coffee from machine 2, despite numerous warnings. The author recommends against ingesting flies as a source of protein.
Participants settled for purchasing refreshments from the friendly 24 hour Guy's Hospital Coffee Shop.
4) Fox Chasing
This activity was found not only to be extremely stress-relieving, but also excellent for the cardiovascular system. Although yelling abuse while chasing foxes was reported to further reduce levels of stress, it resulted in the involved participant being teased by the others and being called names. This was not very nice.
5) Subject Love and Happiness
It was found that there was no substitute for actually loving the subject and being passionate about research and finding the truth. This made participants the most happy, and happiness makes the world go around, etcetera.
These techniques were moderately successful and all participants completed their dissertation to an acceptable standard. However, towards the end of the study, the participants had an epiphany that they could have probably got as much work done, enjoyed a much more convenient life, and not have continuously been judged by society, if they had just swapped around their 'am's and 'pm's.
Nocturnalism should be reserved for owls and people embarking on A Game of Thrones marathon.

Winfrey: 'Stedman romance is still on'
The TV queen began dating the businessman in 1986, but he has been notably absent from her side at public events in recent months, sparking rumours they are no longer together.
But Winfrey, who has had to fend off long-running rumours of a same-sex relationship with her best pal Gayle King, is adamant Graham is her only romantic interest.
And she is in awe of how he has managed to deal with her superstardom throughout the years.
In a TV interview with revered U.S. newswoman Barbara Walters, Winfrey says, "Yes. (He's) the love, the lover, the man, the mate (in my life).
"I cannot say that I know of another man on this planet who could have lived this life with such dignity, such grace and such respect and humility and still hold his own and be his own."
A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, The Next Chapter will air in America on Thursday (09Dec10).

Baylor alumni group calls for investigation into sex assault findings
Some powerful alumni at Baylor University say the school has not done enough to explain its investigation of alleged sex assaults involving members of the football team and are calling for a new investigation.
The university hired the Pepper Hamilton Law Firm to conduct an independent investigation. But critics say that's not enough.
The fact that a full, physical report has never been made public has led to a group of high-powered Baylor alumni calling for an investigation into that investigation. They believe it's the only way the university can truly move forward from the scandal.
A few members of the group say they're even willing to pitch in to pay for estimated $1 million cost.
Attorney John Williams is one of three Baylor alumni who are firmly asking that the university's board of regents take additional action.
"The distrust that many of the alumni have of the board is not going away," he said.
Former Texas Governor Mark White, former Baylor Regent Randy Ferguson and Williams are all members of a group called 'Bears for Leadership Reform.'
"The trust issue is very important in every institution but particularly in an institution that holds itself out as a Christian university — a Baptist university," White said.
The alumni take issue with the handling of the Pepper Hamilton report, a nine-month investigation that included interviews with current and former students and staff as well as individuals identified as victims of sexual assault.
The report led to the firing of President Ken Starr and Head Football Coach Art Briles. But the group says the problem is the findings were presented to the board without written materials.
"If they have nothing to hide, then they should embrace an investigation which would document that they've done the right thing," Williams said.
The group wants the regents to agree to an independent review of the Pepper Hamilton report and full disclosure of disciplinary action against current and former staff.
"Did they really do something wrong? If they really did something wrong, why would you pay them any money if you did?" asked Williams. "But we're being blocked from those important facts."
Jerry Clements is one of three regents who met with the alums on Monday. She didn't rule out the request.
"I think we need to think about that really carefully," she said. "I want to do what's in the best interest of Baylor. And if we look at this and consider their suggestion and hear from others and hear their suggestions, then we're going to do what's in the best interest for Baylor going forward."
Clements and the other two regents who attended Monday's meeting in Dallas will take the request to the entire board.
Williams hopes to have an answer from the board within a week or so. If they say yes, Williams wants his organization to be part of the vetting and selection process.

Increase Solar Electricity Production with Bifacial Panels
Bifacial Solar Defined
Bifacial solar cells are designed to allow light to enter from both sides. They typically employ a front surface design similar to that used in industry‑standard screen printed solar cells, with the major point of difference being the structure of the rear surface contact. Rather than cover the entire back surface with a reflective aluminium contact, a 'finger' grid is used in its place in order to allow sunlight through the rear.
Typically, the silicon material used for bifacial solar cells must be of superior quality such that photogenerated electric charges near the rear surface can contribute to power production as they travel towards the 'emitter' on the front surface. This design also necessitates the use of transparent encapsulating materials on both sides of modules.
The History of Bifacial Solar
Historically, bifacial solar cells were targeted towards applications or in areas where much of the available solar energy is diffuse sunlight which has bounced off the ground and surrounding objects i.e. extreme latitudes and snow‑prone regions. However, the combination of plateauing peak efficiencies from standard screen printed solar cells and significant reductions in the cost of solar glass in recent years – making the use of double‑sided glass encapsulation viable – has pushed bifacial solar modules back into the spotlight.

Book #5, "The Owl from Oblivion" should be released August 3rd. It is designed to be read by both readers new to the series and readers of the previous books in the series. To new readers, they will understand about 80% of the story. I did it this way in hopes of attracting new readers to the book series.
This book will be a bit different than the previous books. For one thing it is about twice as long as the previous books. It is also twice as intense. I held back some in the previous books worrying that it might be too intense for kids. I didn't hold back much in this book because I wasn't sure I would get to write another one so I wanted one book where I wrote full throttle in my natural, uninhibited style, a bit dark. For example, Syon is beaten regularly by his parents; prostitutes even pity him and buy him food; and then governments come after him because they figure out he is the long lost gift to humanity from an alien race. Some aliens culture humans like we culture bacteria to experiment on them. Not only do you see through the eyeballs of these exceptional kids but you see through the eyes of government officials as they struggle to figure out what the right thing to do is given these kids exist --- what is the humane course of action given the limits of the political systems and the culture's science, and the need to protect people/prevent them from panicking. The story is the Nexus of a struggle of both humans and aliens trying to overcome the limits of their cultures to help these unusual children. By the time Book #5 is released I will have spent 2.5 years full time producing the book. I hope you will give it a try when it is released.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Landscape Architecture and Design' started by nijory, Apr 17, 2007.
Got 2300 sq ft of top soil to install. 21 cubic yards.
Two man crew.
What would some of you charge?
How and where are you spreading it? Machine or by hand, near pile or across the property?? Do you have to fix any damage done during spreading?? Seed and Fert??
yes explain more about the job
we are spreading by hand, on flower beds.
By hand, I would estimate the amount of time needed x labor plus material price. Basic Bid without seeing how far you are moving the material and how much hand work is needed.
21 yards for flower beds? 2300 SQ'? How thick are you spreading the top soil?
$1800.00 plus tax
$1680 easy one day job.
does 21 cubic yards, 2300 sq ft sound like a lot? customer wants it 3 inches deep. the flower beds are flat, no mound of anything.
21 yards....
3" = 0.25 ft
if you have 2300 square ft and need it 3" deep, then 2300 X 0.25 is the final cubic ft. Thats 575.
Because there are 27 cubic ft in a cubic yard, then 575/27 is 21 cubic yards. Add about 5% for uneven ground if you like.

Passing on the Pink in Quincy
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:41:51 GMT —
Downtown Quincy was flooded with pink Saturday as hundreds of people hit the streets for the fifth annual Pink Pass it On Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.
At this rate, one in eight women will get diagnosed with breast cancer in her life. While it's rare for men, they too, can get breast cancer. Walks like this are taking strides to bring awareness to breast cancer and to find a cure.
Around 300 people gathered in Washington Park for the walk. Funds raised at the event will support the financial assistance program at the Blessing Breast Center. The programs helps provide mammograms to women who otherwise couldn't afford them.
"Mammograms are so important and my mammogram yearly saved my life, because I had such a small tumor they wouldn't have known it. So mammograms are the answer," said Peggy Wieseman, a breast cancer survivor.
The skies exploded in pink as balloons were released into the air to spread awareness. Many balloons honored breast cancer victims with special cards attached.
"An event like this today just raises awareness for everyone, because more than likely everyone that is here today has been affected by breast cancer in some way," said Lori Wilkey, the manager of Blessing Breast Center.
The Blessing Breast Center has given out more than $156,000 in free breast cancer screenings. For more information, please call your area health department. Free pap smears can also be arranged.

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution Ping Fu's parents were put in a "re-education" camp. She was 8 and learned to support herself.
As a 22-year-old college student, Fu was imprisoned for chronicling China's infanticide epidemic.
Now 47, Fu was recently named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Inc. magazine for the success achieved by her software firm Geomagic Inc.
Next month, Fu will discuss her journey from persecution and imprisonment in China to presiding as president and CEO of one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States. Fu is one of the featured speakers, along with former president Bill Clinton, at the 24th annual Inc. 500 Conference & Awards Ceremony taking place at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center from March 30 through April 1.
Fu said she doesn't just lecture about being a business executive, but makes points through her stories.
"One thing after another kind of takes me to this role," Fu said. "I never thought about being a CEO; I just followed my heart."
This philosophy has led her to the top position of serving over 4,000 clients in the U.S., Asian and European markets.
Fu said she's looking forward to sharing that story in Savannah.
"I've never been there before ," Fu said. "I hear it's wonderful."
Inc. 500 Program Coordinator, Elizabeth Busch said two factors led to the magazine's selection of Savannah as host of the event.
"It's the right size to accommodate the conference, but still not get lost," Busch said. "And the local economic development department was very active in helping us come."
Busch said about 1,000 attendees are registered, making this year's conference the biggest since 2001.
The Inc. 500 ranks privately held companies according to averaged year-over-year sales growth over the past four years. The conference gathers these companies under one roof to celebrate their achievements and discuss the power of entrepreneurship.
"We believe that entrepreneurs are at the heart of economic revival," Busch said. "The Fortune 500 is a look at business history; Inc. 500 is a look at business future."
It's an exclusive club.
"It's not just about small businesses," Busch said. "It's about fast growing small businesses."
Georgia had 13 businesses make the 2005 list, none of them were based in Savannah. Local businesses are welcome to attend, however.
There are 250 slots reserved for businesses in Georgia at a reduced price of $695, according to Lynn Pitts, the senior vice president of the Savannah Economic Development Authority.
Other Savannah-area businesses that wish to attend will have to shell out $1,050.
The Chatham County Commission is investing $25,000 in public funds to support the event.
"It gives us exposure to exactly the types of companies we want exposure to," Pitts said. "While they're not here to, quote, learn about Savannah, hopefully, they'll get out to see as many local businesses as possible."

The Australian dollar has fallen to its lowest level in almost a year, with no signs the sell-off will be over any time soon.
Late on Friday, the currency was trading at US97.37¢, its lowest level since early June and down from US98.37¢ on Thursday.
The dollar has lost about US6¢ in the past fortnight due to lower interest rates, concerns about the Australian and Chinese economies, and signs of improvement in the US.
ANZ foreign exchange strategist Andrew Salter said traders dumped the currency after it pushed below US98¢ about noon on Friday.
Mr Salter said there were no signs the sell-off would end any time soon and expects it to fall to about US95¢.
"It would be a brave strategist to predict an end to it [the sell-off] at the moment," he said.
"The momentum is all downwards at the moment."
Meanwhile, bond futures were trading higher after disappointing US economic data registered a fall in Treasury yields.
Local bond futures rose overnight on Thursday as markets on Wall Street weakened and US Treasury yields fell on news of a rise in jobless claims in April.
RBC Capital Markets fixed interest strategist Su-lin Ong said bonds had traded in a narrow band following the overnight move.
The main local driver for bonds next week would be the release on Tuesday of the minutes from the Reserve Bank's May board meeting. The RBA cut the cash rate to a record low 2.75 per cent at the meeting. The recent fall in the Australian dollar would also have an impact on the market, because it could reduce the chance of further rate cuts, she said.
Late on Friday, the June 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.835 (implying a yield of 3.165 per cent), up from 96.760 (3.240 per cent) on Thursday. The three-year contract was at 97.490 (2.510 per cent), up from 97.440 (2.560 per cent).

New BNF and BNF for Children app launched
Source: MAG / The Pharmaceutical Journal
A new British National Formulary (BNF) and BNF for Children app, produced by the Pharmaceutical Press, is now available to download. The app supersedes the BNF and BNFC apps produced by NICE, and is designed to make it easier for UK NHS healthcare professionals to access the medicines information of the BNF at their point of need.
The app combines both BNF and BNF for Children content onto a single platform, and can be accessed without the need for an NHS OpenAthens password. The clinical content of the app will be updated on a monthly basis.
Karen Baxter, BNF director at the Pharmaceutical Press, said: "The new BNF & BNFC app has been designed to be responsive, interactive and very easy to access, saving clinicians valuable time. We have had great initial feedback from our test group on its intuitive design and ease of use. This new digital format adds to the range of ways health professionals can access BNF content and we are delighted to be able to share it with you".
To download the app for either iOS or Android, visit: https://www.bnf.org/products/bnfbnfcapp/
