Mount Rainier National Park occupies 96,797 ha (241,922 acres) on the western slopes of the Cascade Range in Washington. The diversity of climate, geology, and soils found in this rugged mountain region is outlined in this chapter. Much variability in both vegetation and environment is related to the geography of the Park, making its division into four quadrats of major drainage basins (Carbon, Nisqually-Puyallup, Ohanapecosh-Cowlitz, and White) (Fig. 1) useful in much of the discussion that follows.
Mount Rainier is situated within a temperate, maritime climate. A high pressure region over the north Pacific Ocean shifts southward during fall and winter, and warm, moist air moves from a southwesterly direction into the Cascade Range. Condensation of this cooling air as it rises along the mountain slopes results in a rainy season during late fall and winter and continues almost without break until March or April (Phillips n.d.). At the higher elevations, snow begins accumulating in early November and builds to depths of 5-7 m (18-23 ft) or more by March or April. These wet seasons end when high pressure again develops over the region, and July and August are usually comparatively dry.
Seasonal trends of mean monthly precipitation and temperature are given in Figure 2. Several climatic zones exist within the forested region around the massive ice-laden volcano. The mean monthly temperatures are 2-4°C (4-9°F) lower at Paradise (parkland subzone of Tsuga mertensiana Zone) than at Longmire (Tsuga heterophylla Zone). In addition to the gradient in temperature with elevation, the precipitation varies both with elevation and with position around the volcanic cone. Greatest precipitation is recorded at the high-elevation Paradise station, often in the form of snowfall. Maximum snow accumulation occurred there in March 1956 when the depth reached 9.3 m (367 in). At lower elevations, the Parkway station in the White River drainage is in the driest sector and the Carbon River station is in the wettest sector (especially during spring and summer months).
Because of the dry summers at low to intermediate elevations and the forest vegetation's high transpiration rate, soil water supply is low by August and September; summer months can result in strong contrasts in soil water supply for various forest types (Zobel et al. 1976). At higher elevations, however, snow melt, runoff, and shorter growing seasons considerably lessen the duration and intensity of water stress in forest vegetation. Also, fog or cloud condensation at elevations below dew-point further lower the gradient in transpiration during summer months. Therefore, forests within the climate of the Tsuga mertensiana Zone appear to be influenced and differentiated by topographic variations in snow accumulation and duration, soil water drainage, and heat budgets. Growing seasons are comparatively short, and opportunities for tree seedling germination and survival are limited by snow depths, low temperatures, and restricted periods of photosynthesis.
The geology of the Park has been clearly summarized by Crandell (1969). In the forested landscape, four general geological processes have influenced forest development: (1) Tertiary volcanism and sedimentation; (2) Pleistocene and Holocene eruptions that produced the Rainier volcanic cone and showered the region with volcanic ash; (3) lahars, landslides, rockfalls, and other mass wasting and removal processes; and (4) glacial and fluvial events of the Pleistocene and Holocene eras.
Much of the forested landscape further away from the Rainier volcanic cone occurs on ridges of Tertiary rocks radiating from it in spokelike fashion. Major geologic formations include the Ohanapecosh (sandstone and breccias), Steven's Ridge (welded ash-flow tuffs), and Fifes Peak Formations (andesite). Granodiorites intruded the Mount Rainier area about 12 million years ago; they outcrop in various places along the White, Carbon, and Nisqually valleys, and include the Tatoosh Range. The distribution of these Tertiary formations is shown on a map by Fiske et al. (1963). Many of our study plots of steep colluvial slopes or ridges (such as Backbone Ridge) occur on these formations that predate the Rainier volcanic cone.
Mount Rainier is a complex composite volcano that probably originated half a million years ago. Ridgetops such as Rampart Ridge and Klapatche Ridge were formed by andesitic lava flows that moved down and filled old river valleys. Similar flows, piling on top of one another through time, built up the central cone until its summit was some thousands of feet higher than Mount Rainier is at present. During Holocene time (the past 10,000 years), eruptions from Mount Rainier and other volcanoes, particularly Mount St. Helens, have showered the area with a variety of pyroclastic deposits (Mullineaux 1974). These deposits are particularly important because they form part or all of the soil materials in most forested areas.
Many lahars (volcanic mudflows) originating on Mount Rainier during the last 10,000 years have moved down valley floors and buried them under meters of rock debris. These lahars devastated existing forests and their deposits provided new substrate for primary succession. Many lahar surfaces on Mount Rainier have been dated (Crandell 1971). Recent lahars occurred in all the valleys, but did not reach lower, forested areas of the Ohanapecosh and Carbon River valleys. The Osceola mudflow in the White and West Fork valleys evidently originated in avalanches of hydrothermally altered rock near the summit of Mount Rainier about 5,700 years ago. It is one of the largest lahars known in the world; its tremendous volume might represent the former summit of Mount Rainier (Crandell 1971). Effects of smaller lahars on forests are shown by the 1947 Kautz lahar in the Nisqually drainage on which forests are now in early successional stages (Fig. 3).
Other recent mass wasting processes that start forest succession include large landslides, and more localized rock debris flows, talus slides, and floods. Some of the major landslides are ancient relative to the ages of the oldest forests we studied (Fiske et al. 1963) and are covered by layers of pyroclastic deposits. On steeper slopes, however, where colluvial processes are active, soils commonly consist of mixtures of volcanic ash and rock fragments. Important, too, are the relief and drainage features created by these mass wasting or slump processes on forested slopes (Swanston and Swanson 1976). Slow drainage on closed depressions (such as benches) and very rapid drainage of taluses are good examples.
Glacial, glacial-outwash, and alluvial landforms are common at all forested elevations on Mount Rainier. Rates of forest establishment on high elevation moraines have been measured by Sigafoos and Hendricks (1972). Complex interbeddings of alluvial and lahar deposits are found along the lower valleys (the lahar assemblages of Crandell 1971). Glacial outburst floods (Richardson 1968) may cut away existing river terraces and create new ones as substrates for new forest successions. Surficial deposits of glacial origin include a wide variety of drift materials (Crandell and Miller 1974). Many of these are buried under recent volcanic ash, and are not important as soil substrates. But some of our forest plots are located in landscapes topographically or edaphically controlled by these older drifts. At limited locations in the Tsuga mertensiana Zone, more recent drifts (McNeeley and Garda Drifts) are found, but most of the Holocene deposits are within the subalpine park land outside the closed forest region of this study.
The topography of the forested valleys and slopes around Mount Rainier is very rugged because the landscape is comparatively youthful (Fig. 4). Steep runoff and erosion gradients exist along the flanks of this 4394-m (14,410-ft) volcano. The variety of geomorphic processes shaping the landscape include volcanic, glacial, fluvial, mass wasting, and other erosion processes described earlier. The resultant topography exists in scales ranging in magnitude from kilometers (for major landform features) to meters (microrelief).
At elevations below 1000 m (3,500 ft), broad valleys radiating from the volcanic cone are separated by steep to vertical canyon walls. Nearly flat or very gentle slopes characterize the alluvial and lahar deposits on these valley floors, with hummocky microrelief at the smaller scale. Lower valley sideslopes are of moderate to severe steepness, especially where glaciers or streams exerted intense, downcutting activity.
Cliffs and ledgy canyon sidewalls are particularly conspicuous, for example, in the Ohanapecosh drainage. At smaller scales, hillslope erosion and mass wasting have created systems of ridges and depressions and local, benchy topography on these sideslopes (Swanston and Swanson 1976).
The forested midelevations of 1000 to 1350 m (3,500 to 4,500 ft) present certain topographic contrasts to the lowlands. Streambed gradients of valleys are steeper; in places, spectacular, entrenched rivers are illustrated by such features as the Box Canyon of the Cowlitz. Valley profiles within major drainages may present more abrupt contrast between valley flows, narrow toeslopes, and steep sidewalls. Cliffs and falls are common. The canyon slopes present a complex focal relief of draws and downsloping ridges, benchy and uneven topography.
The upper elevation forests above 1350 m (4,500 ft) are commonly found on the upper surfaces of volcanic flows and within cirques of upper glacial basins. Relief varies from nearly flat (for example, Grand Park) to gentle, undulating topography. The steep and very steep to pography of midelevations is less prevalent. Upper slopes and ridges are common. Glacial basins and morainal features are dissected by snowmelt and runoff channels. Other local topographic features include rock outcrops (along Pinnacle Peak trail in the Tatoosh Range, for example), rock avalanche and talus slopes, and rough broken land along upper valley slopes.
The distribution of topographic relief features according to elevation determines the shape of the forest-environment diagrams provided in Chapter 6 (see, e.g., Fig. 34). Upper slopes and ridgetops are more characteristic of upper elevations, whereas broad valley bottoms, streamside terraces, and river bars are most important at the lower. But each of the major forested drainages around Mount Rainier present differences in topography which account for the shape of each diagram.
The soils of the Park have not been described in published literature. Franklin (1966) recognized the podzolic nature of many soil profiles and described numerous buried soil horizons resulting from successive volcanic ash deposits. Data from similar soils in the northern Washington Cascade Range indicate that such soils fit all but one criterion for classification into the Spodosol order (Singer and Ugolini 1974). The accumulations of surface organic horizons, development of iron pans, and particle movement from eluvial to illuvial horizons are typical features of soil profiles (Franklin 1966, Hobson 1976).
All soil parent materials in the Park are of Holocene age. Profiles have developed in materials of glacial, alluvial, colluvial, or pyroclastic origin. Topography and geographic locations relative to eruptive sources of pyroclastic particles are major determinants of soil parent material composition. The most common soil parent materials are the pyroclastic deposits (tephras)1 erupted from Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and, less commonly, Mount Mazama. Mullineaux (1974) and Hobson (1976) describe the distribution of these pyroclastics in our study area and their importance as soil parent materials. Hobson (1976) classified Mount Rainier soils on the basis of geological origin, relief, and drainage features. His system was adopted for this report.
Tephra soils can be identified by individual ash layers (Mullineaux 1974) differentiated by color, texture, and presence or absence of lapilli (Fig. 5). Many possible combinations of ash layers are found in profiles because of the nature of tephra distribution in this region, the presence of lithic layers between tephras, and various mixing and local redistribution processes associated with topographic relief (Hobson 1976). Furthermore, any particular pyroclastic deposit might bury the existing forest soil profile in either intact or altered condition. Colluvial material might also be found within or between various tephra layers, but generally comprise less than about 2 percent of the soil volume. At wetter sites internal drainage might be moderately or strongly impeded by iron pan development. On relatively hot, dry sites drainage is usually good, and development of podzolic A2B2 horizon sequences may be weak.
Tephra soils are very common in the forests. The following profiles indicate typical features of these soils. The first profile was found beneath an Abies amabilis/Rhododendron albiflorum community near Narada Falls (Franklin 1966):
This profile, taken from a river terrace along Fryingpan Creek (see Fig. 5), shows the relationships between pyroclastic deposits (Mullineaux 1974) and soil horizons in even more detail:
Colluvial soils are the dominant soil group in the Park. Hobson (1976) describes these as unstable soils, rapidly drained, and consisting of coarse, unconsolidated, mixed parent materials. They are found on slopes at all elevations, but especially the steeper slopes and south-facing aspects. Colluvial soils intergrade with tephra soils, but are identified primarily by the mixing of pyroclastic and nonpyroclastic materials. The pyroclastic materials are minimally layered, and where several ash deposits exist they are generally well mixed. Notable exceptions occur in colluvial soils having an unmixed tephra W surface layer or tephra Y sublayer. The following profile was considered by Hobson (1976) to be representative of colluvial soils in the Park. It is found under an Abies amabilis/Xerophyllum tenax community on a steep mid-slope on Rampart Ridge:
Alluvial soils occur in major river valleys, along lesser streamsides, on wet benches where fine-textured water-deposited materials are often mixed or interbedded with tephras, and on alluvial slopes and fans. Soil materials are often in stratified, water-laid layers on depositional landforms. Along the floodplains of broader valleys, centuries of deposition and subsequent downcutting by rivers produced terraces well above the present-day stream channels. Elsewhere, alluvial deposits have been formed by glacial outburst floods or by ephemeral streams carrying snowmelt discharge from upper slopes. Depositional sequences of alluvial materials vary considerably in thickness and textures. Various surface or subsurface strata may consist of skeletal, cobbly sands, coarse undifferentiated sand, and fine or very fine sands. Deposition may also have resulted in patterns of mounds and depressions, whose microrelief presents strong contrasts in soil moisture and drainage. Some alluvial soils exhibit A1 horizon, others may have subsurface gleyed horizons. Many can be classified as Fluvents (Soil Survey Staff 1975). The following example of an alluvial soil is from a Tsuga heterophylla/Oplopanax horridum community on a river bar at the Grove of the Patriarchs:
Mudflow soils are Hobson's (1976) fourth group. Surface or subsurface parent materials within the rooting zone are of laharic origin. The soils may also contain tephra W or alluvial or colluvial surface deposits. In such cases, the presence of rounded rocks or boulders on or beneath the surface help identify mudflow soils. Soil profiles range from totally undifferentiated to displaying well-developed horizons, as given in the example below. Old lahar surfaces in major valleys often have surficial alluvial deposits, so that soils may closely resemble the group of alluvial soils described above. The following profile was found under an Abies amabilis/Vaccinium alaskaense community on an upper slope near Round Pass and belongs to Hobson's group of mudflow soils:
Hobson's classification of soils did not include all the soil types we encountered in this study. Miscellaneous soils included Entosolic profiles of recent moraines and drifts, and occasional peaty or deep humic soils along streams within the Tsuga mertensiana Zone.

Q&A: Is there a way to find out if my baby is my husband's before birth?
I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first child. I made the mistake of having an affair, and I'm afraid this child might not be my husband's. I know the only sure way to prove this is with a blood test or DNA testing. Is there a way this can be done while I am still pregnant instead of waiting until after the baby is born?
In my opinion, the risks of an invasive test that might jeopardize a normal pregnancy far outweigh the benefit of relieving your curiosity. The only way to test is invasively, with chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, or umbilical artery aspiration. And then you'd need blood from your husband and the other possible father. Please, as hard as it is, be patient.

The upcoming Opel Astra Convertible was caught testing for the first time back in March when it endured the cold weather to get results. Now, it has been taken for a new round of testing, and the warmer weather has allowed the drivers to completely remove the fake roof it was sporting. Of course, that doesn't tell us too much because the vehicle seen in these images is just a prototype and features none of the vast changes expected on the production model, such as the new frameless doors and a soft top roof that is non-existent at this point (right now Opel has an army tent to serve as the roof).
Under the hood, Opel will place the same engine line-up found in the sedan version: a choice of eight different engines mated to a six speed transmission. The suspension system will be borrowed from the GTC version.
The date for the next Astra Convertible's official debut is still up in the air. Some say it will be in September at the 2012 Paris Auto Show and some say it will be in March at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

MONDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly one in 10 teenagers and young adults has coerced or forced a peer to engage in some form of sexual activity, and violent pornography is partly to blame, according to a new study.
The study of more than 1,000 young people aged 14 to 21 found that 9 percent reported forcing or pressuring a peer to engage in sexual activity. They admitted to coercive sex, sexual assault and rape, most often involving a romantic partner.
Perpetrators were five times more likely to have been exposed to X-rated media that showed a person being physically hurt during sex, the study found.
"From a public health perspective, the violent pornography is something we need to be concerned about in terms of our young people," said study co-author Michele Ybarra, president and research director of the Center for Innovative Public Health Research in San Clemente, Calif.
The young people also recounted a disturbing lack of consequences for their actions.
"Two out of three of our perpetrators said no one found out, so they didn't get in trouble," Ybarra said.
Further, nearly nine out of 10 perpetrators said they felt the victim bore full or partial responsibility.
The study, published Oct. 7 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, involved a national sample of nearly 1,100 young people and focused specifically on perpetration of coercive and forced sexual behavior.
"We know a bit about youth who are victims of sexual violence, but we don't know much at all about youth as perpetrators," Ybarra said. "It's important we know more if we're going to reduce the sexual-violence rate."
Three out of four victims were romantic partners. Acts of sexual violence reported by young people included:
8 percent kissed, touched or made someone else do something sexual knowing the other person did not want to.
3 percent coerced someone to have sex when they knew the other person did not want to.
3 percent attempted but were not able to force someone to have sex.
2 percent forced someone to have sex.
Perpetrators commonly are 16 years old when they commit their first act of sexual violence, but boys were overwhelmingly more likely to have their first episode at 15 years of age or younger, the survey found.
"It suggests there might be different reasons and ways in which males become perpetrators that are different from females," Ybarra said.
Teens more often used coercive tactics rather than physical violence to force sex upon another person.
One-third of perpetrators said they argued with or pressured the person, while nearly two-thirds said they got angry or made the person feel guilty. Five percent of perpetrators reported using threats and 8 percent reported using physical force. Alcohol was involved in 15 percent of situations.
These tactics work because children are not getting enough education at home or at school regarding sexual relationships, said Susan Tortolero, a professor of public health at the University of Texas School of Public Health, in Houston.
"In this country, we aren't talking at all about healthy sexual relationships," Tortolero said. "Most of the time, we're just telling kids not to have sex. People don't know how to talk about sex, so almost always people are having sex without explicit consent. If we could teach kids how to give explicit consent, then they might be more protected."
Dr. Angela Diaz, director of Mount Sinai Hospital's Adolescent Health Center, in New York City, said sex education can teach potential perpetrators to respect others' bodies and accept "no" for an answer, and can also teach potential victims to better recognize the tactics used to coerce sex.
"They may say, 'Unless you have sex with me, I'm going to go have sex with someone else,'" Diaz said. "Young people have to learn that if their partner says that, maybe they're better off if they do go somewhere else."
Some focus also needs to be placed on the role of violent pornography, Ybarra said.
She said pornography itself does not seem to play a role. Comparable numbers of perpetrators and non-perpetrators said they had watched non-violent pornography.
But only 3 percent of non-perpetrators said they had watched pornography that involved violence, compared with 17 percent of perpetrators.
"It's not pornography generally that seems to be concerning, it's the pornography that portrays violence in sexual situations," Ybarra said.
Ybarra said any education campaign also needs to focus on the role of bystanders who hear about sexual violence but do not report it.
"We need sexual-violence-prevention programs in the high school and middle school settings that tell young people, 'If you hear something, if you know something, you must get involved,'" she said.

AJC Super 11 wide receiver Tai-ler Jones switched his commitment from Stanford to Notre Dame.
The 6-foot, 185-pound senior gave Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis the word about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, not long after returning from an official visit to South Bend, Ind., over the weekend. That call was followed shortly by one to Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, who was none-too-happy about the news.
"It was very difficult to do," said Jones, who has 36 catches for 640 yards and 11 touchdowns for the No. 1-ranked Red Elephants. "The schools were so close with my comparison. It's hard to tell that coach and that staff that you've change your mind when you've stuck with them and been so close the last few months. But it's just something I had to do."
Jones said the camaraderie and "chemistry" of the Fighting Irish players and the academic and athletic traditions of the school were what swayed him. He was particularly moved by how the players lined up on the field and sang the school fight song along with the Notre Dame students just moments after an excruciating 34-27 loss to Southern Cal.
"Things like that showed me that regardless if they win or lose, they're going to do that every game," said Jones, who will enroll in January. "Tradition is more important than celebrating or sulking."
Jones should know. This was actually his third trip to South Bend as a recruit. He'd been there before on an unofficial visit and for "junior day." Oh, and his father, Andre Jones, played linebacker for Notre Dame.
Jones is still scheduled to make an official visit to Stanford on Nov. 7.
"I don't know if I'm going to take it anymore," said Jones, who said the Cardinal wants him to. "It might be a slap in the face to do that after decommitting. I'm still debating."
No matter what, Jones said he's going to stick with the Irish.
"I wouldn't change schools again," he said. "One change is enough. If I were to change again, people might start to doubt my loyalty."
I asked Jones why he seemed to be intent on attending college so far from home.
"Academics are important to me," he said. "Georgia Tech is a great degree but I don't know that it's a good fit for me. They wanted me to play wingback and I don't think that's the best thing for me. As far as Georgia goes, they just took a pretty long time to offer. But that gave me a chance to look around and get to know some of these other coaches and build relationships with them."

Will Bennett Jackson now change his mind??I mean Weis only wanted 2 WR recruits, and now has three. Jackson is the less talented one of the three(other one being Daniel Smith). He must know with all the depth he's not going to get much playing time.
Rutgers needs receivers, and Rutgers was high on his list before commiting to the irish

Well TJ will be on a team on national TV an awful lot, but the sad fact is, I cannot remember the last time I watched them. They are just awful. They are slow and usually very full of themselves, and if they play anyone ranked, they usually lose big instead of losing close. They are relevant only to themselves.

I would like to have seen him in Athens but I am very glad Tech didn't get him.
Frank, I think you should try actually watching a team play before commenting on them. It might make your post a tad more relevant.
I have been watching and this season and you have missed some pretty entertaining games. Clausen is a much better all round QB then Tebow (YES, I said it) and Golden Tate is just amazing.

Since when did it become a slap in the kids faces when they aren't offered before the spring of their Jr. year? I believe thats when the Dawgs offered. Everybody knows thats how things work with GA. T usually is slow with the offers b/c they actually stay true to their offers

6:51 pm
When everyone else is offering, what do you think a kid is supposed to think? They can't just assume the offer is coming. Why wait around on an in-state kid in the first place? Not the first time this has been said by a recruit.

Since when did it become a slap in the kids faces, generally-speaking these days, when they aren't offered before the spring before their Sr. year? I'm not speaking specifically about Jones but recruiting in general. I believe thats when the Dawgs offered Jones. Everybody knows thats how things work with GA and their Spring evaluations unless the kid is a freak. These schools invest a lot of $$$ in these kids and deserve to be able to wait and see if these kids develop and grow. GA is usually slow with the offers b/c they actually stay true to their offers as well. Jones' comments seem to be similar to other kids in being ABC school was too late in the game….in the Spring. That would a whole year to build that relationship. Who knows if a school, maybe GA in this case, could be the best fit and they don't take a hard look because their ego gets in the way and they get their feelings hurt early on. God bless all college coaches for having the patience to recruit high school kids. Best of luck to Jones at ND.

Close? A degree from Stanford looks much better on the wall than a degree from Notre Dame. Plus, the weather is nicer and the chicks are hotter at Stanford. The only reason why Notre Dame is named Notre Dame is to hide that it is in freakin' Indiana.
October 18th, 2009

This is precisely why we need to have an early signing period for football much like college bball recruiting has. If you're not sure about a school, don't give a verbal comittment…especially before taking a visit to that school.
I agree with Jones that he should definitely not take a visit to Stanford, as he would undoubtedly want to change his mind again and go back to the Cardinal after seeing their campus, their academics first hand, and their lovely campus next to Silicon Valley. Like 'GT' said, while a ND certainly looks good hanging on your wall in your office, a Stanford degree dwarfs an ND degree; and that is not even debatable.

The reason we wait around on an in-state kid is to see if he's actually good. Richt does recruiting right, as evidenced by the consistent quality recruits we get. Now if the coaching situation can be improved we'll be right back in the hunt.
October 18th, 2009
7:25 pm
Now this particular "smart" kid actually sounds like a dumb***. He's committed to 2 schools and you guys are saying he hasn't even visited either? What the ****?
October 18th, 2009

I trust he realizes that he will not be playing for Weis. My guess is that since Tebow is a senior Meyer will take the offer of Notre Dame.
October 18th, 2009

Notre Dame is a good school, Stanford is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity school… If you're not going to play pro-ball, do yourself a favor and go to a school you probably wouldn't have a hope in he!! of getting into unless you can catch the football.
October 18th, 2009

Welcome to the Notre Dame family, it was a great game yesterday, too bad the wrong team won. I look forward to seeing you at the ND games next year!!

So much half truths and out right stupid on this thread its hard to know where to begin.
A Stanford degree is very impressive but to act like he took a huge step down by going to ND, academically speaking is laughable. If he chose Georgia, then yes.
If he has any aspirations of playing pro, well, he isn't going to be on national tv every Saturday playing at Stanford now is he?
ugaacountant, I hope you are better with numbers than you are with reading, because it says in the article he committed to ND AFTER his visit this weekend.
I think it's hysterical the digs being taken at Indiana from GEORGIANS. The only state this one needs to dis is next door and that is up for debate.
Meyer will not be coaching at ND. We don't want him. He will be following his boy Tebow to the pros. Weis will win out and stay head coach. Tenuta, that is a different story.
Well come to Note Dame Tai-ler.
October 18th, 2009
8:10 pm
Not surprising that he changed schools, given that he's already done that at the high school level. How much influence did his father, who I believe was a receiver at ND, have on the decision? Interesting that wasn't mentioned at all in story.
Would also be interesting to hear his thoughts on why he transferred schools after his sophomore season in high school.
October 18th, 2009
8:12 pm
I would say a degree from Stanford or ND is by most accounts a toss up. But a win win for this kid. He can't go wrong with either sheep skin on his wall.
October 18th, 2009
8:15 pm
Pick Notre Lame over Stanford? Both suck in football but nobody can beat the Stanford academics. Whoa what a faux pas. Have fun with the Michelin man.
October 18th, 2009

Stanford is on the rise he should have chosen Stanford while Notre Dame is on the decline especially after Clausen leaves they are going to be in rebuilding mode again.

So much sour grapes because he didn't go SEC or GT. Shame.
October 18th, 2009

So some on here seem to think that Tavares King and MIke Moore are NFL locks apparently. Now thats a joke.So would a ND degree help them with their lives? Get real, the kid has the best of both worlds where he is playing big time football and gets a great degree. Stop the hate

Congratulations TJ, and welcome to the Notre Dame family! I have a B.A. degree from Notre Dame and a M.A. degree from Stanford. Both are excellent schools – top 20 rankings and endowments – but in my experience the Notre Dame degree has opened more professional doors for me than Stanford. Notre Dame has more than 250 alumni clubs around the world, the most extensive alumni network in higher education. At Notre Dame, the students and alumni visibly support their alma mater and the football program more than their counterparts at any other college in the country. At Stanford, they downsized the stadium capacity from 80,000 to 50,000 and still don't play to a full house except when Cal and Notre Dame play there and bring most of the fans. As a student-athlete in football, why wouldn't you want to attend a top 20 academic institution with the most loyal alumni in all of division I-A athletics (see latest US News academic and alumni rankings) and play all of your home games and most of your away games in front of capacity crowds and on national television? And check out Notre Dame's graduation rate for football players, especially for minority student-athletes. Notre Dame has always been awarded the top recognition from the NCAA for graduating its football players. In short, Notre Dame is an excellent choice for any serious student-athlete. Go Irish!

Get ready for 8 months of winter, so dress warm. I think its really brave for the kid going that far from home. Its a lot closer than Stanford. Not sure if i would have been able to go so far . Good luck

I'm surprised people are referring to Notre Dame's schedule as "cupcake." Sagarin ranks it, as of this weekend, the 13th hardest schedule in the nation. Don't let facts get in the way of your bias.

9:14 pm
Hey Tai-lor, look up the word loyalty in the dictionary. Don't worry about if you change your mind AGAIN. You gave your word and then switched. Once, twice, two hundred times – it doesn't matter. You word means nothing.

Do any of you realize that his father, Andre Jones, played for Notre Dame and Lou Holtz on their '88 national championship team? It's not like the kid didn't know anything about the place before visiting.
October 18th, 2009

Welcome to Notre Dame, Tai-ler. Good luck this year, enjoy the rest of your time in high school, and we luck forward to seeing you in action next fall. Go Irish!

BTW, Andre Jones was a defensive end and linebacker at ND, not a WR.

And Poopdawg, not all football players are afraid of snow and cold. Its called being tough. It also is only cold about 4 months of the year, same as the Africa Hot Kill Me Dead Humidity that we have down here in Georgia.

4 months of cold, my frozen arse. I moved to Illinois 3 years ago. We've had butt cold weather and snow already in the beginning of October. Last year our last snow fell in April. Let's count em…October, November, December, January, February, March, April.

I honestly would rather, and this really pains me to say it, see this kid play for UGA. I don't like the top talent leave the state. Its understandable that he does not want to play A-back for GT, and at 6′, he doesn't fit our scheme to be a WR, but UGA has to start picking up these kids. Losing this kid to Notre Dame is like losing a kid to satan. At least its not alabama.
October 19th, 2009

He is already part of the "Notre Dame" family! His Dad, "Andre Jones", played for ND in the 90's!
October 19th, 2009
1:35 am
To my understanding, Tai-ler Jones didn't submit his Stanford application. Frankly, he reportedly has a 3.5 cumulative GPA with a 25 ACT score. That is good enough for every major college program with the exception being Stanford. If he was a borderline admit, perhaps this also swayed his decision. However, he is a quality young man, and I wish him all the luck at Notre Dame.

Hey All Irish,
If Indiana is a better state than Georgia, than why is your sanctimonious butt here in Georgia? There is absolutely nothing in Indiana better than Georgia. Not academics, not the economy, not the people or the social life… and certainly not the football.

…that 3.5gpa and 25 SCT score is plenty good enough, even at Stanford, for an athlete to be admitted. Now as a regular student, he couldn't even get into UGA with those numbers, and I know that for a fact, unless he knows someone on the UGA admissions committee!!!

verbal commitments mean nothing. These undecisive kids cant be counted on to stay firm. I believe there should be no "verbal" commitments.Just have an early signing period and when the kid commits; thats it.

Would you rather have your kid go to a very liberal school or go to the most famous university in the
country and maybe graduate with common sense instead of being so open that your brain falls out!! RTR

"Jones said the camaraderie and "chemistry" of the Fighting Irish players and the academic and athletic traditions of the school were what swayed him. He was particularly moved by how the players lined up on the field and sang the school fight song along with the Notre Dame students just moments after an excruciating 34-27 loss to Southern Cal."
Wow. Dude is clueless.

The political debate continues to be dominated by questions involving GOP nominee Mitt Romney and his financial history, more particularly his refusal to release any tax information other than his 2010 return and an estimate of his 2011 taxes.
The decision to withhold the information has begun to perplex even conservative pundits such as William Kristol ("It's crazy") to George Will ("He must have calculated that there are higher costs in releasing them)." In many cases, unflattering comparisons are being drawn between Romney and his father, George, who as a candidate for the GOP nomination in 1968 began the modern practice of tax disclosure by releasing 12 years of his returns.
While that debate rages, I thought it might be interesting to study what we know of the two Romneys not for what it might tell us about their character, openness, etc., but about the time and place in which each man lived.

In each theater, digital projectors enthrall audience members seated in comfy stadium-style chairs with vivid images, and surround-sound speakers crisply broadcast every roar of an engine in hot pursuit and every romantic slurp of soda. To make the cinematic experience maximally cushy, guests at many locations also can sink into luxury leather seating and chew thoughtfully on East Brunswick Luxury Cinemas 13's signature $1 hot dogs.
It's no secret that kids have short attention spans. Normally that's a challenge, but at Kidz Village, it's the expectation. The staff has assembled more than 12 themed play areas inside the facility, ranging from simulations of a hair salon and a comic-book store to an arcade (with real prize tickets) and a fairy-tale castle. And if families feel like dropping by on a whim, they're more than welcome, as open play is available everyday. Adults always receive free entry and can relax in an area with complimentary WiFi and views of all the play areas. An onsite restaurant, Perky's Pizza, serves chicken tenders and hot dogs to keep kids fueled.
The party packages at Kidz Village are quite accommodating, as they include a mix of both open access to play areas and reserved time in a private party room. In the private room, staff hosts orchestrate a custom lineup of games that might include limbo or trivia based on the birthday child's favorite TV shows. Even once the private-room reservation is over, groups are welcome to stay and party for free until closing time or the staff's nap time.

Starry Night Dance Studio hosts a never-ending dance party atop its polished wood floors, inviting all to join and even offering free classes for beginners. Instructors wear the shoes of multiple ballroom styles to teach the centuries-old waltz alongside West Coast swing and merengue, a two-step dance outstripped in simplicity only by the one-step known as walking. Aerobic Zumba workouts and belly-dance classes loosen students' hips while building muscle tone and cardio endurance. Additionally, Starry Night's experienced dancers choreograph dances for special events such as weddings, quinceañeras, mortgage signings, and bar mitzvahs, and happily help students to prepare for landmark celebrations.
Whether coaching students as individuals or in a group setting, the certified instructors at the Westfield School of Dance draw from years of teaching and performance experience in their chosen styles. All are specialized in one to three disciplines of dance, and pass on their knowledge through a progressive syllabus in a range of classes. They organize students by skill level, coaching them in tap, jazz, modern dance, Russian ballet, and musical-theatre performance. For more experienced dancers and aspiring professionals, they also conduct work-study programs and student-teacher training. These experiences allow students to work alongside their teachers as well as guest artists to learn new choreography, develop teaching techniques, and uncover the mystery of what really happened that fateful night at Swan Lake.
Throughout the year, students are given the chance to showcase what they've learned in two venues. In the more minimalistic setting of the Black Box, beginner-level students perform original choreographed dance concerts. The annual spring Main Stage show folds novice through advanced dancers into a full-scale production, complete with live musicians, costumes, scenery, and props.

I think it failed too, and tbh I disagree with it a bit.
Not because of gearing alts, that should be easy, and making the currency or gear Account Bound will fix that. However new players are thrown into content outside of their experience level too quickly.
Amazing as it is there are still people new to the game, and them going from greens to purples overnight and putting them into more difficult content leaves them confused and the group on the floor mad at them because they expect them to know their class. And by lvl 85 heroics you really should.
Account binding the currency will lower the horrible grind for alts while still allowing new players time to learn the ins and outs of their class in appropriately balanced content.
At least that is how I see it.
I agree with this. When I started playing, I wasn't ready for BT and ZA which were current at the time, heck I was barely ready for nerfed kara. And nerfed kara is what I did, and I learned.
One part not mentioned in this conversation was that Blizzard sort of expected this, and made tier 11 so that once tier 12 was released, it was nerfed and available.
The real issue was that people wanted no part in doing tier 11, which was complete lack of forsight and taking the "I just want to see content" hook, line, AND sinker. That was a precursor to many of us about LFR, that it really is just about the gear. That leaves us in a tricky spot of how to let all players of all skill levels equipping the newest content, because frankly - people don't want to equip their skill level - they want to equip Vodka's skill level.
I can't change this community, I can't make it less materialistic. Simple people, are....well simple. I am greatly enjoying star wars, but I do hope Blizzard produces something worth playing this summer.

Cartridge Replacement for Xerox Phaser 7760
Cartridge Replacement for Xerox Phaser 7760
Replacing the Xerox Phaser 7760 Toner Cartridges is a very important part of printing successfully. A bad installation can cause problems that go from bad printing quality to damaging the toner cartridges or other printer parts.
Here are some easy steps that you can use to remove the used toner cartridges and install the new ones without damaging your printer or your Xerox Phaser 7760 toner cartridges.
Before start replacing the Xerox 7760 Toner keep in mind the following safety recommendations:
- - Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause a fire
- - If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Do not use warm water as this may set the toner permanently, and you may not be able to remove the toner stains
Removing the used Xerox Phaser 7760 Toner Cartridges1. Open the front door of the printer.
2. Rotate the used toner cartridge to the unlocked position in order to be able to remove it. Remove it buy pulling it straight out of the machine.
Installing the new Xerox Phaser 7760 Toner Cartridges3. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and shake it several times to distribute the toner evenly.
4. Install the new toner cartridge and make sure it seated properly before turn it into the locked position.
5. Close the front door.
This is the best ink I have ever found for my Phaser. The price is good, but most importantly the ink (powder) actually feeds out of the cartridge from the machine asks for it! I can't say that about the ink I used previously. Very pleased! You will be too.
Great product for the price! Shipped in no time!!! Will definitely be ordering again and again.
I placed my order and immediately received a confirmation. Was notified of the shipment and it arrived when it was supposed to.
Anything man made can fail. Especially toner cartridges. But it's the companies that stand behind their products that matters. Had a problem and they took care of it right away. Kudo's and A++++++++++++ for these guys!
Package was delivered on time as promised. Cartridges fit well into the printer, and performed without issue. I was vey satisfied with this purchase.
"Easy & straight forward ordering process. Great search capability. We are using them as our alternative vendor for our Canon Image Runner toner vendor."
"I would recommend this company to other people without reservation."
"Return purchaser - product seems to work great so far. Hope second product performance goes as well as the first."
"Fantastic delivery received right in time. No games just great service."
"This was my second purchase from them. They continue to excel!"

This active family vacation to Turkey brings you through countless Roman, Greek and Byzantine ruins, whitewashed towns and local villages and to the turquoise waters where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean. Based from comfortable, family-friendly hotels, your journey starts with a historic tour by foot through Istanbul. Then continues to Cappadocia to hike in the lovely sandstone valleys and discover the fascinating underground tunnels and churches. Travel south to a home-stay in a village where you can play soccer with the local kids and explore nearby caves. Spend a few days hiking in the low mountains near the Mediterranean coast, watching the natural eternal flames in Olympos where you can also relax on a lovely beach.

We just got back and wanted to express our thanks for a wonderful trip. Deniz was the perfect guide for our family - he engaged the boys, showed us Turkey and kept us fed, rested and educated. The kayaking guides in Kas were also excellent. All in all we had an amazing time and appreciate that you set up such a great experience. Thank you.

Pausing for a pensive moment in her woodsy Laurel Canyon home, Alberta's Roberta Joan Anderson had, at age 26, already rechristened herself Joni, given birth to a daughter, married and split from fellow folk singer Chuck Mitchell and earned her first Grammy for the seminal CLOUDS. Arguably the most impressive and influential singer-songwriter Canada has ever produced, Mitchell has since won four more Grammys and was, just a year ago, voted a Lifetime Achievement Award. At the time, she told a Rolling Stone reporter she got her start imitating Judy Collins and Joan Baez "just to get money to smoke." Is she still smoking? Indeed. Still sizzling too.

Minzy's The Bomb!I'm a genuine music lover, so when the world of K-pop was opened up to me, I grabbed onto that horse and drove off into the sunset. Its like discovering a new oil-well, everyone's so excited by it, you can't help but get carried away.
I like good music so great artists like G-Dragon and MBLAQ immediately caught my eye. But my all-time fave will forever be Minzy from 2EN1. I remember seeing her in 'I love you' and thinking "Woah! So awesome..." CL's a close second but Minzy is forever my number 1 favorite.
You go girl!

Stewart enjoys risque scene scares
British actor Sam Riley plays Sal Paradise in the film, Kerouac in real life. Garrett Hedlund plays charismatic Moriarty in the sex, drugs and booze-fuelled story.
The all-star cast also features Kirsten Dunst as Camille, Carolyn Cassady in reality; Viggo Mortensen as Old Bull Lee, or junkie guru William S Burroughs to those who know his work; and Allen Ginsberg's alter-ego, Carlo Marx, is played by Tom Sturridge.

These are delicious and easy to make. I give them as Christmas gifts every year and have special requests for them. The more you froth the egg whites, the crunchier the coating.

This is Melissa and her husband Cain. Melissa has been a very vocal supporter of marriage equality. From support for efforts to stop Amendment One here in my home state of NC, to changing hearts and minds in favor of the Vote No campaign where she lives in MN. Melissa and Cain value love and family above all. They believe every family is equal. Melissa has always followed the loving example of her parents, and her recently departed Dad would be so proud of her efforts in support of love and all familes. Thank you, Melissa and Cain, for fighting for your brother and his fiance, me and my partner, and all loving couples everywhere. I am honored to call you my friend.—Jeremy
We are LGBT people who want to thank the straight people who helped us win marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, and Washington state, and who helped us defeat an anti-gay marriage amendment in Minnesota.
If you're a queer person whose straight friends worked hard to win marriage equality—worked phone banks, knocked on doors, spoke out, gave money—send us a photo and a couple of sentences about what your straight friends did. Click on SUBMIT, upload a photo, and thank your straight friends publicly!
If you're a straight person who worked for marriage equality… THANK YOU!

Official postgame quotes from the Jazz's 96-71 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday at Staples Center.
Jazz C.J. Miles on what's not working with offense:
"We just have to find some continuity, some rhythm, where everybody knows what everybody likes to do. I don't think that we've gotten to that point where everybody knows where everybody likes to be."
Jazz C.J. Miles on Lakers's energy after playing three straight nights:
"Yeah, we expected them to come out and play hard, especially after losing two. They are coming out and trying to get a win, especially after the first one feeling like they shouldn't have lost that one and the second one going in to a young Sacramento team. They were definitely going to come in tonight and try to be aggressive and try to get a win with their home fans behind them. And they did that. They came out and played hard."
Jazz Al Jefferson on preseason game against Portland and this game mean maybe this season isn't going to be easy:
"It's a wakeup call but there's no need to panic. We know what we got to do. When we started off everybody kept saying the Lakers are on their third game, in their third night but they were in more of a rhythm. This was our first game and we just had to be better than what we were but it's a wakeup call and it's not the end of the world. We played a good team on their home floor and we got to be better."
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin on what worked and what didn't work:
"Well, you know, we missed a lot of shots and I think that got off of our defensive game because we missed shots. They came out there really aggressive and they ran the ball down the board and got the ball where they wanted to and we didn't get the shots I know we probably wanted to so we pressed a little bit."
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin on whether the team was frustrated:
"I think the guys were out there fighting hard we just missed shots and we missed some assignments. But I don't think we were feeling sorry for ourselves. We just struggled. I mean, we struggled making baskets."
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin on the Jazz's performance:
"That first quarter I thought we were coming along pretty good. They [Lakers] made a run on us and you know, as a result, you shoot twenty six percent for the first half and thirty two percent for the game…it's tough to beat anybody doing that."
Jazz Coach Tyrone Corbin on his expectations for the Lakers:
"As I told the guys before the game, if you expect them [Lakers] to come out laying down because they feel that they played three games in three nights, you're mistaken."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on tonight's game:
"We did a much better job defensively, we took care of the ball. We only had nine turnovers tonight, so that was a big key for us. But also we read each other a lot better, I know where my guys are, it makes it a lot easier to find them."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on how he feels physically and mentally after 3 games in 3 nights:
"I feel alright. I feel a little tired, but that's fine as long as the legs feel strong, which they do."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on seeing improvements:
"Oh for sure, for sure. Utah is a very tough team to take out of their execution, and we managed to do that."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on what they can learn from the last three games:
"We should have won all three of them. We beat ourselves, Chicago, we beat ourselves in turnovers, free throws. Sacramento, they shot the lights out, but we still should've won that game, we just didn't execute the right way defensively. Tonight, we put it all together."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on the Lakers new offense:
"There was an urgency in all those games, it's just about execution. I'm telling you, you've got to get rid of the habits. We've been doing the same thing now for six, seven years, some of us longer than that. You've just got to break those habits."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on the character of the team:
"We're a very active team. This is a blue collar team. This is a scrappy bunch as you saw tonight―we're going to fight, and scratch, and claw for everything, as it should be. That'll get us by."
Lakers' Metta World Peace on the Lakers first win:
"We've got a long way to go, it's just one win. We've got to keep working, we're still not satisfied, and we still have to improve."
Lakers' Metta World Peace on his 14-point scoring effort:
"We're just playing team ball that's it. Some games I'm going to have two points, some games I'm going to have ten. The main thing is that we just play together."
Lakers' Pau Gasol on the Lakers first win:
"It was a good game overall, just a good effort. We got 48 minutes from everybody out there. I'm proud of our guys. Our hard work paid off and now we have to build on it."
Lakers' Pau Gasol on beating the Jazz
"We have to worry about ourselves. Obviously tonight's game was one we wanted to win no matter what after the two tough loses that we just had. We did what we had to do."
Lakers' Pau Gasol on his injured shoulder:
"It still bothers me a little bit but it felt better today than it did last night so it seems like it's under control."
Lakers' Pau Gasol on his offense:
"I am trying to be more active and make myself more available for my teammates and then just attack. I have to get to the line more like I did tonight and just be aggressive. Teams might throw different coverages here and there but I will just continue to be aggressive and it pays off."
Lakers coach Mike Brown opening statement:
"I thought our guys did a nice job defensively. They came out and they set the tone for the game on that end of the floor. We knew Utah --- they execute fairly well --- but more than anything else, they have a lot of live, active bodies that hit the glass. To hold a team to 32 percent and 71 points in an NBA game, I don't care who you're playing, you're doing something right on that end of the floor. The focus, the energy, the effort, that communication and trust that we brought defensively was exciting to see."
Lakers coach Mike Brown on performance tonight and team's development through three games:
"I thought we were pretty good defensively. There were some isolated instances where we broke down with our coverages, but I thought overall, we were pretty solid defensively. Offensively, for the most part, we did a nice job of moving bodies and moving the ball. It did resonate with the 17 assists, but I thought we made some passes to open guys."
Lakers coach Mike Brown on Pau Gasol's play tonight:
"His scoring game tonight, he was very aggressive. We need that aggression out of him. But he is a facilitator. He does it for his international team and he plays that high post area and makes plays. When they need him to score, he is obviously capable of scoring. I like Pau's game; I like what he's bringing to the table for us."
Lakers coach Mike Brown on Metta World Peace:
"Metta is taking on a leadership role with that second unit, plus he's showing that ability to score for us, which is what we need from him with the bench that we have."
Lakers coach Mike Brown on putting Kobe and Pau back in the fourth quarter:
"I told a couple people before the game that whether we win or lose, I was going to give them the day off. I wanted to make sure we secured this win. If I could have helped it, I wouldn't have put those guys back in. In a lot of situations, I may not put those guys back in, but they were ready for us."

About Teri Dale
My husband and I are long time residents of North Vancouver, and we have traveled around the world extensively. From all our travel experience we feel fortunate to live in North Vancouver where nature is still just outside our door. My passion is hiking and exploring the trails just outside the front door still excites me. My husband likes to think of himself as 'Mr Green Jeans' as he tries to keep up a 1/2 acre park of flowers and grassy lawns.
Teri Dale purchased this house in 2006
Why Teri Dale chose North Vancouver
It was an impulsive moment when we purchased our home because for 2 people, this house is just too big. 5400 square feet on 3 levels just seemed silly for 2 people to live in! The moment I saw it from the street I knew I had to buy it and we put in an offer right away. As the city grows bigger and more and more highrises appear, we return to our paradise nestled in the forest where nature and tranquility greets us. The best part is the ideal location where everything is convenient--just minutes from shopping, highway and lots of restaurants, pubs and entertainment. Since we bought this Piece of Paradise, I have never found another property for sale that compares to this one. Due to its enormous size, we have designed this HOME WITHIN A HOME for others to enjoy the way we do.
What makes this house unique
HIKING AND BIKING JUST ACROSS THE STREET is my biggest passion and one of the main reasons I just had to buy this property! In addition, I love the way this home is designed because 2 separate families can live here without 'feeling' the presence of the other. There is a separate entrance to the rental and 'lives like a house' with spacious rooms. The rental has the best radiant heating system, and keeps the wood floors toasty warm on those dark, chilly nights. The huge Master Bedroom is a bonus because if you choose, you can separate yourself from the other travelers, watch your own TV programs from this room and have your own bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms are spacious and are situated next to the large, newly renovated bathroom with shower/tub enclosure. There is also a family room, a separate living room, ample storage and a laundry room for your exclusive use. Perfect space for a short or long term stay!

It's cool being able to sit in the sun by the river. Very relaxing. Reminder to take a moment out of a busy day just to think and chill. (at The Haw Bridge Inn)
One of the reasons I love How I Met Your Mother. There are some amazing quotes about life in the show. This being one of them.
It resonates pretty strongly with me, because ever since my home flooded in 2012 and again this year, I've become so afraid and scared of what would happen if I lose the people I love and care about. That's why sometimes I feel like I try too hard to keep in contact with them or help them, thereby maybe annoying them in the process. But it's only because I care so much. It's a weakness and a strength of mine I guess. I'm sorry about that, but not sorry at the same time.
TL;DR. How I Met Your Mother is awesome, and I care about people.

On a personal note, I won't be with my computer awhile.
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, sit down with myself and explain that things were going to be okay, that everybody loses ground sometimes and it doesn't mean anything. It's the way life works. This is hard to understand in the moment. You get to thinking about the girl who rejected you, the job you got fired from, the test you failed, and you lose sight of the big picture — the fact that life has a beautiful way of remaking itself every few weeks. The things that matter right now aren't going to matter a month from now, a year from now.
