This is awesome! Something like this would really up the value of this project, I think. We'll discuss this amongst the "developers" and see if this is something we want to do.
The main problem I forsee is the sheer number of MOCs that are going to be generated - If this gets as big as I think it can, there could be a dozen MOCs/week that would need to be added to this map, with everyone fighting over prime real estate for where they want their building to go. Perhaps we would need to limit the ones featured to contest winners or something. For example, "This month's contest is to design a fortification for (Faction A) at (x,y,z location)." And then post the winner to the map
Yes that needs to be done. We cant have laods of people posting at random where they like and the contest if the best idea for it

What is the most important information I should know about terazosin?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to terazosin.
Terazosin may cause dizziness or fainting, especially when you first start taking it or when you start taking it again. You may wish to take this medication only at bedtime if it causes you to feel light-headed. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Avoid standing for long periods of time or becoming overheated during exercise and in hot weather. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy.
If you stop taking terazosin for any reason, call your doctor before you start taking it again. You may need a dose adjustment.
Terazosin can affect your pupils during cataract surgery. Tell your eye surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medication. Do not stop using terazosin before surgery unless your surgeon tells you to.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially other blood pressure medications including diuretics (water pills).
What is terazosin?
Terazosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic (AL-fa ad-ren-ER-jik) blockers. Terazosin relaxes your veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass through them. It also relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
Terazosin is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), or to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).
Terazosin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking terazosin?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to terazosin.
If you have a history of prostate cancer, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take terazosin.
Terazosin can affect your pupils during cataract surgery. Tell your eye surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medication. Do not stop using terazosin before surgery unless your surgeon tells you to.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether terazosin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether terazosin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take terazosin?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Terazosin lowers blood pressure and may cause dizziness or fainting, especially when you first start taking it, or when you start taking it again.

Bridport Arts Centre recently hosted a performance of Muscovado by BurntOut Theatre, a scorching new play about slavery in 19th-century Barbados. Described as "a heady mix of sexual intrigue, piercing choral music and extreme racial tension", the production offered an unflinching portrayal of life on a sugar plantation in 1808.
Several West Dorset families made fortunes in the slave trade. Bridport historian Jane Ferentzi-Sheppard reflects on the area's connections to the West Indies.

Stop Drowning in a Sea of Messy Cables
These days, we're all connected, and while more and more technologies are going wireless, there are still plenty of cables to go around. And with so many cables and cords connecting to so many different devices, it doesn't take long before you're being consumed in a sea of tangle wires.
Thankfully, we have cable management ideas that will take care of all of your needs. Call them "cable organizers" if you like. In fact, this is the only place on earth where you can find cute cable clips with animal faces on them and industrial braided sleeving that works in 2000° F. We checked! Of course we also have plenty in between, otherwise that would be a bit weird.
So whether you're outfitting the home, office, or industrial facility, we are sure you'll find a solution that fits your application, from raceway (one of the best secret cable management ideas) to cable trays for routing bundles overhead and under-floor, from heat shrink for sealing and termination, to just about every kind of tie, wrap, clip, clamp, fastener, and winder you can imagine wrapping around your cables, or wrapping your cables around.

|Eight Children among 16 Dead in Syria Regime Air Strike
|[An Nahar] A regime warplane killed 16 people, half of them children, in a strike on the city of Manbij in the northern province of Aleppo on Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The strike came as the watchdog reported seven people killed in air raids on the Aleppo city of al-Bab, and that similar strikes hit Aazaz, only seven kilometers (four miles) south of neighboring Turkey, where a Patriot missile battery went operational on Saturday.
Video footage filmed by an activist and posted on YouTube showed scenes of pandemonium in Manbij, as dozens of men rushed to the bombed out ground floors of multi-storey buildings to dig out people buried beneath.
A grief-stricken woman wailed as she stumbled from the scene holding her child.
A man, his jacket covered in dust, screamed as he bravely ran away carrying a child covered in blood while another bolted past holding a toddler, who could be seen wiping tears off his ash-covered face.
"Bashar is a dog! Bashar is a dog!" shouted a young man facing the camera, which panned to show a chaotic scene of cars reduced to scrap metal, massive trucks overturned and an entire neighborhood covered in rubble and dust.
Crowds of teenagers stared in shock at destroyed apartment buildings.
The footage could not be immediately verified.
The air raids in Aleppo province came as warplanes targeted rebel positions in neighboring Raqa province, Hama province in the center, Daraa province in the south and an eastern district of Damascus
...The place where Pencilneck hangs his brass hat...
, the Observatory said.
In northern neighbor Turkey, NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
said one of six batteries of Patriot missiles deployed to protect against a spillover of the 22-month conflict went into operation.
The battery, provided by The Netherlands, would "help to protect the (southern) city and people of Adana against missile threats," it said, adding the other five batteries should be ready in the coming days.

I am a Gleek and proud of it.
I love the guy who plays Finn. He's about 3 years older than me in real life.
Well you know only the real Brittany Spears can play herself well. Lea Michelle who plays Rachel is a good actress and singer. I think she pulled it off pretty well. I think she can pull off anything. She has amazing talent!!
The girl who played Sunshine last week was really good, too bad they only gave her a few parts. Maybe she will be on in the future. Did anyone recognize John Stamos who plays Carl? He is a hottie way too old for me but he played "Jesse" in Full House.

Stories about the new Treasury report condemning China's currency policy probably had most readers going, "Huh?" Frankly, this is an issue that confuses professional economists, too. But let me try to explain what's going on.
Over the last few years China, for its own reasons, has acted as an enabler both of U.S. fiscal irresponsibility and of a return to Nasdaq-style speculative mania, this time in the housing market. Now the U.S. government is finally admitting that there's a problem - but it's asserting that the problem is China's, not ours.
And there's no sign that anyone in the administration has faced up to an unpleasant reality: the U.S. economy has become dependent on low-interest loans from China and other foreign governments, and it's likely to have major problems when those loans are no longer forthcoming.
Here's how the U.S.-China economic relationship currently works:
Money is pouring into China, both because of its rapidly rising trade surplus and because of investments by Western and Japanese companies. Normally, this inflow of funds would be self-correcting: both China's trade surplus and the foreign investment pouring in would push up the value of the yuan, China's currency, making China's exports less competitive and shrinking its trade surplus.
But the Chinese government, unwilling to let that happen, has kept the yuan down by shipping the incoming funds right back out again, buying huge quantities of dollar assets - about $200 billion worth in 2004, and possibly as much as $300 billion worth this year. This is economically perverse: China, a poor country where capital is still scarce by Western standards, is lending vast sums at low interest rates to the United States.
Yet the U.S. has become dependent on this perverse behavior. Dollar purchases by China and other foreign governments have temporarily insulated the U.S. economy from the effects of huge budget deficits. This money flowing in from abroad has kept U.S. interest rates low despite the enormous government borrowing required to cover the budget deficit.
Low interest rates, in turn, have been crucial to America's housing boom. And soaring house prices don't just create construction jobs; they also support consumer spending because many homeowners have converted rising house values into cash by refinancing their mortgages.
So why is the U.S. government complaining? The Treasury report says nothing at all about how China's currency policy affects the United States - all it offers on the domestic side is the usual sycophantic praise for administration policy. Instead, it focuses on the disadvantages of Chinese policy for the Chinese themselves. Since when is that a major U.S. concern?
In reality, of course, the administration doesn't care about the Chinese economy. It's complaining about the yuan because of political pressure from U.S. manufacturers, which are angry about those Chinese trade surpluses. So it's all politics. And that's the problem: when policy decisions are made on purely political grounds, nobody thinks through their real-world consequences.
Here's what I think will happen if and when China changes its currency policy, and those cheap loans are no longer available. U.S. interest rates will rise; the housing bubble will probably burst; construction employment and consumer spending will both fall; falling home prices may lead to a wave of bankruptcies. And we'll suddenly wonder why anyone thought financing the budget deficit was easy.
In other words, we've developed an addiction to Chinese dollar purchases, and will suffer painful withdrawal symptoms when they come to an end.
I'm not saying we should try to maintain the status quo. Addictions must be broken, and the sooner the better. After all, one of these days China will stop buying dollars of its own accord. And the housing bubble will eventually burst whatever we do. Besides, in the long run, ending our dependence on foreign dollar purchases will give us a healthier economy. In particular, a rise in the yuan and other Asian currencies will eventually make U.S. manufacturing, which has lost three million jobs since 2000, more competitive.
But the negative effects of a change in Chinese currency policy will probably be immediate, while the positive effects may take years to materialize. And as far as I can tell, nobody in a position of power is thinking about how we'll deal with the consequences if China actually gives in to U.S. demands, and lets the yuan rise.

Landon Donovan was back with the Galaxy on Wednesday, suiting up for his first game with the defending Western Conference champs since re-joining the team from Everton.
The match was far removed from what he'd been used to. Instead of a top-tier EPL club, Donovan played 90 minutes against the not-so-vaunted Hollywood United. Still, Donovan said he felt happy to be back home -- for the most part.
"It was a little bittersweet to leave, but the reality was that the agreement all along was for me to be there until March 15," Donovan said in a press conference. "I'm a big part of this team and I understand that and I enjoy being a part of this team. I wouldn't have made the commitment I did to this team if I didn't want to be here."
Donovan's time in England was more than successful, as he earned rave reviews for his play. Everton were seemingly a better side with him in the mix as the American international helped the Toffees climb the EPL table.
Having helped the club improve, Donovan said he wasn't quite ready to go.
"Obviously, you get caught up in what is going on and it's fun and exciting to be a part of what I was just a part of," he said. "You can't mirror that in any way, you can't duplicate that, but the reality is that I'm very excited to be home. If fate comes around again and I'm meant to go back there, then I'll go back there."
Still, there is a chance Donovan could go right back to Everton. If a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is not agreed upon in the coming week, an MLS work stoppage could free up Donovan to return to Goodison Park.
"There's nothing concrete set up. I think we've all been clear about the possibility that I could go back if something happens," he said. "It's kind of, 'We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.' Right now, everyone on this side of the pond is still hopeful that we can still get a deal done."
Already a star before his trip to Everton, Donovan raised his game another level in England. But what did Donovan learn from the whole experience?
"I think confidence has been the biggest thing," he said. "Throughout the years, I've had the opportunity to play in some big games and in some big moments to do well, but what you get there is every week is a massive game. It means so much. The ability to succeed there week after week, playing against some of the biggest players in the world and succeeding gives you a lot of confidence."
Improvements can be made, Donovan said, but only so many.
"I'm not going to technically become a better player at 28," he said. "But probably tactically, I learned, and some things about myself, on and off the field and I think it'll help me a lot."

One Week To Go
Outta here!
A week from today, the Phillies will board a Delta charter flight after their game and head back north. Pirates will be at Citizens Bank Park for On Deck Series games April 2-3.
Current camp number is 34 players, nine above the opening day limit. Ruben had his weekly conference call this morning with his pro scouts that are scattered around Florida and Arizona. Always looking for ways to improve the club.
Notes: Minor leaguers here for the Astros game this afternoon are four right-handed pitchers, Jason Anderson, Justin DeFratus, Chris Kissock and Eryk McConnell . . . Internet broadcast today, WPHT tomorrow and Saturday; Comcast SportsNet and WPHT on Sunday . . . Bus leaves Bright House at 3:15 p.m. tomorrow for the 7:05 night game in Tampa against the Yankees . . . Saturday, the Twins in Ft. Myers; buses leave at 7:45 a.m. . . . Minor league games at Carpenter Complex on Saturday begin at 10 a.m. Minor league teams break camp on April 4.
Alumni Memories
A daily feature–spring training memories by Phillies Alumni, who were asked three questions: (1) Memories of their very first spring training; (2) What they liked the most about spring training, and (3) What did they like the least.
Keith Moreland (C, 1978-81)
"My best memory was my teammates with the Phillies. Most of us were signed by the Phillies. We spent time in the minors and came up to the big leagues together. We were part of the family with the Phillies being the parents. Going to spring training was like coming back home. Being a catcher, we spent a lot of hours warming up pitchers. In the bullpen it seemed like you worked from daylight until dark. I remember asking myself, 'We can't have any more pitchers that need to throw!'"
(Note: Keith will have his U. of Texas baseball uniform number (3) retired on May 1).
Next Post: Sunday

Hurray for heading north! I am SO anxious to get the season started. Hope you have had a peaceful time in Clearwater :O)

Killing Sir Walter Scott: A Philosophical Exploration of Weeding2013–07–24 | 24 commentsTags: CREW manual, deselection, emotional issues in libraries, philosophical, public libraries, weeding
In Brief: Weeding a library collection, while an absolutely essential part of collection management, is a much more complex issue than library literature—and library practitioners—would like to admit. It is not just an intellectual and physical process but an emotional one, wedded to deep psychological, cultural, and even metaphysical issues. This article explores some of the reasons…

Follow the author on his gripping journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance and ultimately self-love.

Why is nothing major being done to address the massive human tragedy that is the European economy?
This chart from Danske Bank will give you a good hint.
Nothing can get done without the approval of Germany, and frankly, Germany would be insane to mess with the current status quo, given how much its outperforming the rest of the Eurozone. Just insane.
Who else can boast that its unemployment rate is substantially below where it was before the financial crisis?
So, tight money, low inflation, austerity. It's working great for the country that has the power.
UPDATE: Felix Salmon asks what, exactly, the downside would be for Germany to be more accommodative, through a more activist ECB, and a system of greater transfers between nations.
This is an interesting question. One aspect of the German social model is that everyone gets work, but nobody gets a raise (or at least they're small). This model only works in a world of little inflation, so it's understandable that Germany is so on guard against anything perceived as inflationary.
That being said, you'd think that a stronger periphery would mean stronger export markets.
On the flip side, a stronger Eurozone could mean a stronger Euro, which could work against German exporters.

Wisconsin Status: Species of concern but not listed
Federal Status: Endangered
Beauty and grace best describe this federally endangered species found in Wisconsin. This fragile blue butterfly only measures about one inch across its wingspan. You may be surprised to learn that the male and female are different in coloration and pattern (see photos above). The topside of the male's wings are silvery or dark blue with narrow black margins. The female's are grayish brown, especially on the outer portions of the wings, to blue on the topside, with irregular bands of orange crescents inside the narrow black border. The underside of both butterflies' wings are the same pale gray with a continuous band of orange crescents inside iridescent blue spots along the edges of both wings.
Living on the Lupine
The Karner blue's lifecycle depends completely on one plant, the wild lupine. There are two generations, (that means two hatches), of Karner blue butterfly eggs each year. In April, the first group of caterpillars hatch from last year's eggs and the caterpillars feed only on the leaves of the lupine. In mid-May, the caterpillars pupate and adult butterflies emerge out of their cocoon-like chrysalis around late May or early June. The adults will feed on the nectar of flowering plants, mate and lay their eggs on or near the wild lupine plants. The eggs will hatch in about a week to feed on the lupine leaves for the next three weeks. The cycle then begins all over again when new adults take flight in July with the help of the wild lupine plants. This means that the Karner blue butterfly is severely restricted as to where it can live and survive. (See lifecycle slides.) Most butterflies, especially the females, stay near their home lupine patches during their short lives, only 5-7 days! Males may travel over a mile to find a new territory.
Threatened Habitat
Karner blue's habitat can be found in Wisconsin's sandy oak savanna and pine barren areas (see photo below). Many of these areas are threatened by development, agriculture, roadside management, and woody succession (change of the land to shrubby woodland). Wisconsin still has the most widespread populations along with: Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New York. But Karner blue population numbers have dropped in the United States mostly because the areas where wild lupine grows have been developed or divided up for roads, buildings, towns, and cities.
This habitat has also lost the natural disturbance, such as wildfire and grazing animals, needed to keep this area a prairie habitat. Fire helps keep the prairie from changing or "succeeding" into a forest habitat and keeps the lupine population healthy. This is a natural and important tool for managing the land, although, fire can be lethal to the Karner blue's eggs and caterpillars living on the lupine and plant litter. Even though this method sounds dangerous for the butterfly, fire and other practices such as timber harvest, planting, and herbicide treatment in the right doses can help provide new areas for butterflies to colonize. One other threat to the butterfly population is unethical butterfly collectors who think the rare and beautiful Karner blue would be a great addition to their collection. What they don't know is that even the loss of a few individuals could harm the butterfly population. Also, people who own land in the habitat range of the Karner blue may not know that they're there and could unknowingly harm Karner blue habitat or their populations. To battle all of these problems, the Wisconsin DNR is developing a statewide habitat conservation plan (HCP) and environmental impact statement to help protect the Karner blue butterfly. It will take time as biologists complete this very large study and finish their report examining the habitat, range, lifecycle, history, as well as state and public management efforts to help this butterfly in Wisconsin.
Butterflies Galore
Wisconsin is fortunate because our landscape supports the largest and most widespread Karner blue populations worldwide. You'll find healthy populations in the far northwestern parts of the state, but they live mostly in central Wisconsin. To see what counties they can be seen in, take a look at the Wisconsin map.
Where can you see the Karner blue in Wisconsin? Look for the butterflies near patches of wild lupine in late May and early June. Later in the summer, wild lupine becomes difficult to see and the butterflies are easier to see drinking nectar on flowers such as butterfly weed, sunflowers, goldenrods, and other late summer blossoms.
Learn the techniques of butterfly watching, then go to places where you can see the Karner blues:
- Black River State Forest, Jackson County
- Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area, Grantsburg
- Hartman Creek State Park, Waupaca
- Jackson County Forests, Jackson County
- Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, Necedah
- Quincy Bluff & Wetland State Natural Area, White Creek
- Sandhill State Wildlife Area, Babcock
Get Involved!
If you live in central or far northwest parts of Wisconsin, find out where the nearest Karner blue habitat area is to you and get involved with local conservation projects that would benefit them the most. Contact your county forester to get more information. You can also help other butterflies by getting involved with a butterfly count, helping educate people about the Karner blue, planting a butterfly garden, or by getting involved with a butterfly group. Here are some butterfly contacts:

Visiting the Mystery Craters is a journey of discovery! Halfway between Bundaberg and Gin Gin is Australia's most baffling phenomenon. Since their discovery in 1971, the origins of the 35 oddly shaped craters have remained the subject of controversy. The mottled mixture of sandstone and ochre stain have been the subject of many investigations and various theories have been offered.
A giant mural greets you and as you enter the kiosk some wonderful gifts, souvenirs, and rock samples are on display. Light snacks, coffee, tea, cold drinks, and ice creams are available for your pleasure.
Through the archway you will find original photographs of the property and how the craters were discovered. Walk over the covered verandah, down the path, past the fairy garden, and you will come to the fantastic formation. A viewing tower is complimented by an informative commentary at the touch of a button.
To complete your tour, visit the collection of pioneer memorabilia and fascinating rock and fossil display. See it, love it!

Bob Hofman wasnt gone from the game for long.
Then again, anybody who knows the longtime Fort Lewis College mens basketball coach had to expect that hed be back the second the doctors allowed.
Hofman took a medical leave of absence last week to deal with lingering problems with his shoulder and ear, and he returned from that leave Wednesday to take back the reins of the No. 17 Skyhawks.
It turns out that, according to FLC athletic director Gary Hunter, the hearing issues Hofman was experiencing easily were correctable, thus putting off an extended sabbatical for Hofman, whos in his 16th year at the helm of the Skyhawks.
In fact, he came in Monday. He found a doctor, and I guess it was a little old small 10-minute procedure within his ear, and whatever it was, they fixed it, and hes hearing now and 100 percent, Hunter said.
Were just delighted hes back at full health and full speed.
In his stead, the Skyhawks continued their upward trajectory. Associate head coach Bob Pietrack stepped in and helped FLC record two resounding home victories, the first two of his career as a head coach. The Skyhawks defeated New Mexico Highlands 81-60 on Friday before romping past Western New Mexico 86-47 on Saturday.
Hunter was very complimentary of Pietracks work in stepping in on short notice, while also lauding the contributions of FLCs senior class in providing leadership in the absence of its head coach.
I was very pleased, Hunter said. I thought Bob showed a lot of maturity and good judgment, and we were very pleased with the way he handled the team. And I was very pleased with the way the team responded.
Hofman returns in time for a crucial weekend of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. The Skyhawks will head to Denver to take on Regis on Friday before facing No. 2 Metro State on Saturday.

CU's McKnight predicts big things for TB Tony Jones
BOULDER — I was asking CU wide receiver Scotty McKnight about how the Buffs' running back corps has looked from his vantage point when the team captain, without prompting, started talking about Tony Jones, the true-freshman tailback from New Jersey.
"Tony Jones is going to be a heck of a player," McKnight said.
Jones, 5-foot-7 and 180 pounds, may have to wait until 2011. He could be a redshirt candidate unless there is a rash of injuries in the backfield.

Tiger Basketball Evens Season Series with LSU
COLUMBIA - At the final buzzer, it appeared the Missouri Tigers had once again taken advantage of home--where in this one, they beat a team they lost to in Baton Rouge just a month ago.
In the first half, the Tigers found themselves in an unfamiliar spot, trailing Anthony Hickey and LSU by thirteen points.
The Tigers needed a Senior leader to let loose and record his best scoring performance in SEC play to get back into the game.
"Well I just got lost in the game," Laurence Bowers said. "Coach sent me a text this morning that just said play free. And that's what I did and it really helped me and I just got to continue to keep that approach throughout the rest of the season."
Another Tiger wanted revenge after the road loss to LSU, and he joked about the opportunity the team had this time to pound the ball down low to Bowers.
"I knew the guy who was on him couldn't guard him," Alex Oriahki said. "I just told him go to work and he was able to do that.I mean that's what I think man. 'Elbow's' a good player man, not a lot of people can guard him."
LSU could'nt contain Bowers and they also couldn't contain Oriahki when the pair got going. Bowers had 23 points, Oriahki had 18, and both big men ripped 10 rebounds.
This tandem has come together at just the right time for the team's guards who look inside for them to produce.
"Alex emerged as a player when 'Elbow' was out. And you saw him become more of a factor in our offense" Coach Frank Haith said. "Now Elbow had to find his niche and get it to where both of those guys are playing at a high level. So that takes time. So I think we saw today the frontline that we can have when both those guys are being productive."
Tiger fans know about Bowers, or "Elbow's," career and accomplishments, but Haith gives similar praise to the newcomer Oriahki, who he calls a jovial, jolly green giant who has come a long way.
"You go back to his interviews earlier in the year and he says I don't really think I'm a good offensive player, some of the things he said," Haith said. "The biggest thing with Alex is we just want him to be a confident young man and I think we've seen him establish himself to have a terrific year."
So, a jolly green giant and an elbow--look for them to take it up strong down low in the tough tests ahead.

Fast, healthy summer recipe: Sugar snap pea salad
I'm all for salads, but too many of them begin (and end) with lettuce. There's more to life than leaves.
Here's a snappy little recipe by Sarah Dickerman from the current (July) issue of the recently-revamped Bon Appetit magazine. The recipe calls for sumac, a citrusy spice common in Middle Eastern cooking. Find it at specialty spice shops around town.

The United States men's gymnastics team is currently trying to achieve what no American men's team has ever done: win a team gold medal at a non-boycotted Olympics. The favorite is Japan, led by three-time world champion Kohei Uchimura, who is possibly the best male gymnast of all time. But the Americans have a realistic, if slim, shot.
Nevertheless, the lion's share of the media attention has been and will be bestowed on the American bid for gold on the women's side.
When I was a young gymnastics fan, the inequity in coverage did not bother me. Though I spent nearly every Sunday afternoon watching VHS tapes of the women's competitions until I had all of the scores memorized, I fast forwarded through the coverage of the men, if there was any at all. Broadcasts of men's national championships were often reduced to mere ten-minute recaps of top competitors and routines or marooned in the worst spots on the television schedule.
Back then, I could scarcely name any U.S. male gymnasts and would have struggled for a few minutes to come up with all six of their apparatuses. But as the American men started winning more medals in the early 2000s, I started paying more attention, and I realized what I had been missing for years. The personalities on the men's competition floor are bigger and more compelling as are the skills.
Male gymnasts aren't totally marginalized now—their meets are now televised in their entirety, if not in prime time—but they still trail the women in popularity. Why?
Female gymnasts aren't simply athletic competitors. The greatest ones become popular icons: Olga, Nadia, and Mary Lou. Their fame extends far beyond their Olympic events, and it lasts much longer. Every four years, Nadia and Mary Lou are dusted off to go on talk shows and speak to reporters about the current gymnastic field.
That doesn't happen on the male side. "No male gymnast has ever been Nadia. Or even Nastia," said Rick McCharles, a Canadian coach and blogger. "That has been the biggest problem." When he was in Japan last fall, McCharles said, he was shocked by how few people in Tokyo outside of the gymnastics community knew of Uchimura, despite the fact that he's on track to becoming a true legend.
Can casual viewers even name a past men's champion? Maybe Paul Hamm, but that has more to do with the start-value controversy that dogged his win in 2004. The only notable male champions who have maintained recognition—1984 Olympic gold medalists Tim Daggett and Bart Conner—achieved this not by presenting themselves as objects of nostalgia, but by getting jobs as commentators. They're in the public eye because they're always working.
The female gymnasts' youth and petiteness helps make them icons. Their power—and their tolerance for pain and danger—seems impossible in such childlike forms. They can be treated as tiny, ideal embodiments of whatever the narrative of the moment may be. The men's gymnastics blogger Uncle Tim wrote:
Right now, in an era of American exceptionalism, we are eager to prove that we can beat the other countries at their own game. The U.S. can have a centralized training program, but our very young girls—and we are obsessed with how young they are—can still be teenagers, which, as you know, is different from the Chinese and the Romanians.
Watching muscular, grown men perform feats of extraordinary strength and athleticism is exciting, but it's not at all surprising. And the men, by virtue of their age, are less malleable, narratively speaking. Many are at least in college before they make it to an Olympic Games; some have completed their higher education and are married.
To see a Nadia or Mary Lou years later, as a grown woman, is startling and nostalgia-inducing. Now, the cute, smiling teenager has become an adult—but old video and photos are always cued up, like childhood snapshots at a wedding. The effect is transporting.
Male champions, years later, mostly look like they used to—with some wrinkles, some gray, and perhaps less muscle. (Bart Conner, who looks practically the same as he did in 1984, has a definite Dorian Gray quality.) They don't evoke a lost past, unless their highlights include a really bad, decade-specific haircut.
Against all this cultural backdrop, too, there's the plain fact that the U.S. women have been more successful than the men. Over the past decade, the U.S. women have won an unprecedented number of international medals and titles, including two consecutive Olympic all-around gold medals.
But what is often not brought up is the less competitive nature of the women's side of the sport. There are really only four teams that routinely occupy the team medal podiums at world championships and the Olympics: the U.S., Russia, Romania, and China. Back in 2003, the Australians got bronze, after a fluke deduction against the Chinese women for flipping while they waited to start their routines.
And with Romania in the doldrums for the past three years, the Americans, Russians, and Chinese have been playing a game of musical chairs in which there are always enough medals for everyone. A similar situation was in place from 2005 to 2008, when Russia was faring poorly.
On the men's side, China and Japan have been consistently ranked 1-2 for years, but the battle for bronze has been fierce for the past four years. From third through sixth place, the United States, Germany, Russia, and France have constantly reshuffled the pecking order—and in the prelims this time, Great Britain showed it has a shot. So there are more true team medal contenders.
Team competition aside, the men's apparatus finals offer many opportunities for gymnasts from smaller, less dominant nations to get on the podium. "[Tomas] Gonzalez from Chile truly is as good as the best Americans. But there's no female gymnast from Chile as good as the Americans," McCharles said.
"Historically the [women's] judges would only give medals to certain nations.," he said. "[Men's] judges have always been more willing to recognize and reward anyone from anywhere."
Uncle Tim noted that in addition to the teams with a chance at team medals— in London, the U.S., Japan, China, Russia, and possibly Germany or Great Britain-countries like Hungary, Romania, and the Ukraine have potential apparatus medalists. Even a Polish gymnast, Leszek Blanik, has managed to win several international medals on the vault.
Because the men have been competing in a more competitive field, their successes cannot be viewed through the lens of dominance as the women's can; rather it is often cast in terms of luck. "Were we expecting Trent Dimas to win a gold in 1992?" Uncle Tim asked. "Nope. Did it seem like Tim and Elfi thought that the men would win a bronze in 2008? Nope."
The luck narrative doesn't get as much attention in advance; it's hard to predict which team will be lucky. But it sure was more fun to watch the U.S. men win their "lucky" bronze in 2008 than it was to see the women win their expected silver.

I wonder if we can get a thread going for the posting of the going or standard pollination rates for various crops.
I wonder if we can get a thread going for the posting of the going or standard pollination rates for various crops.
Sure, but it can very, by state, and contract.
My pollination price on apples in NY for 2010 will be $60.00 for orders less than 200 colonies and $55.00 for orders of 200 plus.
Cranberries $60.00/ colony.
That's about all I pollinate. Unless some of my bees go to CA.
Mark Berninghausen
Asking 55 for blueberries in NC. We'll see how everyone winters before that's in stone though.
What is the duration of polination? Approximately?
Depends on plant and weather. You have a "be here" date and the pullout date is tentative. They usually hold for blueberries 4 to 6 weeks.
Do you ever get any honey on the cranberry pollination? I do some here and usually nothing. It coincides with our main honeyflow, but too many hives around and not enough forage.
Ya'll notice the 'big' keepers are hush hush. I havent heard a word of almond prices here... heh
About almond prices...that's because speculation runs the gamete on them and really are meaningless in the sense that most of us are already in contracts for a certain price. Those speculating on the prices are those that don't have contracts left and are almond growers who waited till the last minute to try and see if the prices would drop and now are running crazy trying to fill their needs. Contract prices run from $100 to ?? depending on frame strength and such.
If anyone needs to put their bees in Almonds I suggest Tom L. on this forum. He is a decent guy who will take care of your bees and you won't have to worry about getting paid.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
Skinner, you want almond prices? My contract is $125.00 for 8 frames with a bonus for more frames and a deduction for less.
-Rob Bliss
Neat piper. I am quite curious about almond pollination. It's apparently very complicated, pay scale included.
You do know averages need data to be accurate. If noone's talking then how can they find the average? Actually if I could gather, confidentially, accurate data, I could have a mean, and ask commercials what the "average" price is and do a chi square test to quantitatively tell you how far they're off, and if anyone even knows.
In short, I think it's just about not spouting off pollination prices, and I agree possibly competetion.
125 sounds Ok. Long time contracts, or brokers?
USDA Ag Statistics probably has this info. If someone knows how to get it from them.
Mark Berninghausen
I'll go ahead and spill my beans, I'm charging 120.00 a hive with 8-12 frame (average) to an almond grower who is also a good buddy, a fellow beekeeper i know is charging 130-140 depending on condition of hive's, last year i got 35.oo a hive for mellons and went in with spring splits averaging 5-8 frames could have gotten more money but had the parent hives in the mountains and didn't want to move them, the grower was late getting bee's but was happy with what he got
Mike T.,
Gene Brandi has been saying he has been seeing problems in melons treated with neonicotinoids.
What have you seen or heard?
I was told a few years ago if stopped at the bug stations for Small hive beetle you could enter Madera county if you agreed to treat for beetles. True?
Is Kermin in Madera county?
Local beekeeper advertised in newspaper over the weekend. $120, probably pretty good bees, 5,000 colonies available. He got pushed around a lot last year, cut out by lowballs.
Tom...you fill your contracts yet?

The latest stable version of Chrome—it's up to an astonishing version 32 now—brings with it perhaps one of the most useful features ever to make its way into a browser. I'm sure we've all suffered the infuriating situation where one of our browser's many tabs is making a noise. We then have to hunt through all the tabs in turn to find out which one is the culprit. That can be easy enough if it's a YouTube window, say, but not all noisy tabs are so easily detected, with ads being notorious audio offenders.
Chrome now has a trio of icons to help out. If a tab is making a noise, Chrome will put a little speaker in the tab itself. This gives instant, at-a-glance detection of noisy tabs. The other two icons are less important, but still useful. If one tab is accessing your webcam, it'll be adorned with a little red recording icon. A tab that's being cast to your TV with a Chromecast will show a little TV icon.
These icons have been a part of Chrome's developer builds for many months, and the speaker icon is really invaluable. It's a simple feature, but an absolutely welcome one.
Another feature making its way to the stable build is Chrome's Chrome OS-like Metro mode browser. When set as the default browser on Windows 8 and started up in Metro mode (using the icon on the Start screen or a link in a Metro app, rather than the icon one on the taskbar or a link on the desktop) the browser looks like Google's browser-based operating system. This mode starts a Chrome "desktop." Along the bottom of the screen is a taskbar of sorts, used for launching Web apps of your choosing. Populating the main area of the screen are one or more browser windows.
Though this is a stable version of Chrome, it introduces the beta of a feature called "supervised users." This, like the Chrome "desktop," is a Chrome OS-originated feature. Supervised users have their browsing history tracked and browsing permissions managed online. Supervised users can then be placed in a whitelist mode, where only approved sites are allowed, or a blacklist mode, where certain sites are blocked. They can also be forced to use SafeSearch for their Google searches.
Finally, the built-in malware blocker has become more prominent, making it harder to run known malicious files.

Gardening as marathon
The score, after a marathon gardening weekend:
27 hours with my hands in the dirt — shoveling, planting, weeding, volunteering, writing about it, talking about it.
15 tomatoes (red cherry, Sugarsun, San Marzano, an unidentified Roma, Cherokee Purple, "Health Kick,") 6 hills of winter squash, 1 of Charentais melon. 5 peppers. 1 "Madeleine Hill" Hardy rosemary (well, we'll see about the "hardy" part). Countless volunteers transplanted (calendula, fennel, dill, clover). 16 hills of potatoes (blue, German butterball) to go with the volunteers. Two kinds of cukes, two of zucchini ("Cocozelle" and "Eight Ball"). Second crop of lettuce already coming up and ready to be thinned.
Two patches of sugar snap peas trellised. Two rows of French fillet beans planted. A handful of seeds for 2011 purchased at 40 percent off.
One glass of wine spilled, all over myself when, kicking back with Soil Sister Sheron after we'd conquered the big plant on Sunday night, and, so stupid-tired and stupid-happy that I couldn't hold my liquor, I fumbled it midair. I caught the glass, but the contents were all over me. Two eye-popping pink irresistible penstemons bought (but not planted yet).
Zero muscles pulled. A little bit sore, and I sunburned the tops of my feet during my volunteer gig. Still: Uninjured. Undaunted. Uncowed.
Finally, happily, we're in. We're IN. In at her big garden with its new offshoots and the new squash patch, and we're in at my little garden at my house, in the brick planter with its second crop of mesclun coming up and its lavender and lemon-thyme and chocolate mint and coreopsis. There are beds still to be dug, de-weeded, but faced with both of us traveling the following weekend, cool-ish weather and the opportunity to grab some of her husband's time doing some of the digging, we knocked this one out.
And Sheron had this great idea, the same one that the nice Russian lady with the flea-beetle questions at the community garden had: plant tomatoes in a circular well with the sides bounded by garden edging. You just dig your hole, make a circle out of the stuff, then plant and fill in. The circle of edging holds back the soil, and you still have a catch basin around your tomato plant so that it grabs extra water whenever you (or the skies) are giving the plants water. (Otherwise, your well fills in as its soil walls crumble in any hard rain or hard soaking.
At my house, I spread a little corn gluten in my wells, hoping to delay the return of the weeds I'd just evicted — mallow, thistle, bindweed, always bindweed. We'll see how it works.
There'll always be more to do. Watering. Weeding. A co-worker just gave me three tiny tomatillos to distract the bugs from the potatoes, a la Michael Pollen's trick. (It seems to work.)
But we knocked it out. We laughed. We dug. We drank (I'd managed a few sips of wine before my party foul). All's right with my world. (and with the Russian lady's radishes –the flea beatles were chowing on them, but not any of her other veggies. And she'll still get radishes).
What's your score? Are you in yet?
And have you seen these wacky, woolly wall-garden pockets? If you're interested in kids learning to garden, these folks need you to vote for them for a Pepsi Refresh Challenge grant. They could get $250,000 to put more wall gardens in urban schools.
