Wilcox leads Washington past No. 15 Colorado 71-54
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington coach Lorenzo Romar has seen this before from C.J. Wilcox. One 3-pointer starts to drop, then another and suddenly Wilcox is hitting everything.
Washington's sharpshooting guard put on another display Sunday that ended the Huskies' lengthy losing streak against ranked opponents.
"When he gets in a zone he's pretty special that way," Romar said.
Wilcox set career highs with seven 3-pointers and 31 points, including 21 in the second half, and Washington ran away from No. 15 Colorado for a 71-54 victory. Wilcox topped his previous high of 30 points set earlier this season against Boston College.
But the surprising part wasn't Wilcox getting hot or the improving Huskies knocking off a ranked opponent playing short-handed after Colorado star Spencer Dinwiddie went down with a knee injury in the first half.
The shock was the length in time since the Huskies had beaten a ranked opponent. It was Washington's first win over a ranked team since Isaiah Thomas' jumper beat then-No. 16 Arizona in the 2011 Pac-10 Conference tournament championship game.
Washington (11-6, 3-1 Pac-12) had lost 12 straight against ranked teams. The last time Washington beat a ranked team in the regular season was a home win over Texas A&M in December 2009.
Andrew Andrews added 14 points and Nigel Williams-Goss had 12 as the Huskies continued to improve.
"When you are rewarded with a win it continues to increase that attitude and that belief," Romar said.
Dinwiddie crumpled to the court after taking an awkward step on a fast break and his left knee buckled. He was on the court for a few minutes while trainers and coach Tad Boyle came on to his side. Dinwiddie was helped to his feet but had to be assisted off the court with his arms around teammates.
Dinwiddie, who had seven points in 15 minutes, was chastised by Boyle after scoring a disappointing six points in 38 minutes on Wednesday night. He left the arena with a large brace on his left knee and was expected to be examined on Monday in Boulder.
The Huskies outscored the Buffaloes 49-29 after Dinwiddie's injury.
"My gut is not good. But we'll see. If he's out, he's out," Boyle said. "I just feel so bad for the kid because he's worked so hard."
Josh Scott led Colorado (14-3, 3-1) with 15 points, but the Buffaloes' struggles went beyond not having Dinwiddie around in the second half.
Askia Booker, the reigning Pac-12 player of the week, was 0 for 9 from the field and went scoreless for just the second time in his college career. The last time Booker failed to score was late in his freshman season against Arizona.
"When Spencer went down he really tried to force things and he's not good when he forcing things," Boyle said of Booker. "We didn't show patience, we didn't show composure on the offensive end and that's how you turn it over 20 times."
The loss of Dinwiddie also impacted the Buffaloes defense. He was no longer available to chase Wilcox around and he took advantage of the clean looks.
"I know they were trying to key on me and having him not leaving me as much as he normally would," Wilcox said. "He's an athlete. It's tough to score on athletes. When he went down, we as a team, but me as well, just had to take advantage of that."
Washington started the second half on a 12-5 run thanks to three 3-pointers from Wilcox. The complexion of the second half could have changed when Perris Blackwell, the Huskies' only true inside presence, picked up his fourth foul with 15:52 remaining.
Scott tried to stem the run with five straight points for the Buffaloes but Wilcox continued to knock down shots. He hit another 3 when Williams-Goss broke the Colorado press and found him open in front of the Washington bench. He scored off a steal with a left-handed layup and hit another stand-still 3 for a 51-39 lead, his sixth straight make to start the second half.
Andrews added a driving layup to push the lead to 14 before Scott finally scored in the lane to briefly stop the run. Washington went up 18 when Wilcox knocked down his seventh 3-pointer with 6:42 left for a 61-43 lead, the largest of the game.
"I just think we have a lot of weapons and we play really unselfishly," Williams-Goss said. "It's been a big emphasis in practice, moving the ball and make sure the ball's not sticking. He was just the recipient of good ball movement and he's really good at moving without the ball."

Android co-founder Andy Rubin disclosed that Android was once considered as an operating system for cameras. "The exact same platform, the exact same operating system we built for cameras, that became Android for cellphones," said Rubin, speaking at the Japan New Economy Summit in Tokyo.
The initial plan for Android was to develop it as an operating system for cameras with built-in cloud capabilities so that photos could be stored online. Rubin shared slides from his original pitch to investors back in 2004, one of which showcases a camera that could be connected to a computer wired or wirelessly, with the computer linked to an "Android Datacenter."
But as Google worked on this concept, the mobile world was experiencing its own revolution. The company decided to switch gears five months later. "We decided digital cameras wasn't actually a big enough market," said Rubin. "I was worried about Microsoft and I was worried about Symbian. I wasn't worried about iPhone yet."
Google shifted gears to announce an "open-source handset solution" but kept Java as the core of the OS. With the aim to grow, the search giant decided to offer Android free rather than charge a fee to use it on a handset. "We wanted as many cellphones to use Android as possible," said Rubin.
Fortunately for Google, it seems it made the right decision, as the operating system is on track to cross the one billion mark this year, according to Google CEO Eric Schmidt. As for Rubin, he stepped down last month as Google's senior vice president of Mobile and Digital content to pursue other endeavors within the company.

DUBLIN, Ohio - Two things could be counted on for a Presidents Cup at Muirfield Village — rain and the Americans in control.
Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar remained undefeated with a 1-up win that came down to the last putt. Kuchar rolled in a 15-footer for birdie to hand Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama their first loss this week.
The Americans took four of the five matches in fourballs, with four of them reaching at least the 17th hole. That gave them a 10 1/2-6 1/2 lead going into the foursomes sessions Saturday afternoon. Because of another rain delay, however, they would not be able to complete them until Sunday morning.
It was the fourth straight year that the Americans had led by at least three at the halfway point of the Presidents Cup.
"We had close games that went the U.S. way," International captain Nick Price said. "We've still got another 17 points left. That's what I keep telling the guys. They're a little down after what happened this morning."
It already was afternoon when the "morning" session ended — the Friday matches had to be completed Saturday morning, and while there were only a few bursts of heavy rain, it was enough to create small pools on the greens and in bunkers. That took time to get the course ready.
Brandt Snedeker and Hunter Mahan each won for the first time this week by holding off Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. The Americans had a 1-up lead with four holes to play. Oosthuizen missed an 8-foot birdie putt to win the 16th hole, and both South Africans found the bunker on the 18th with a chance to halve the match.
The lone International win in fourballs came from Jason Day and Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., who gave Steve Stricker and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth their first loss. The American tandem of young and old — Stricker at 46 is the oldest player on either team — fell behind for the first time all week. Stricker's birdie on the 15th tied the match, only for DeLaet to stuff his tee shot into 6 feet for birdie on the 16th for a lead they held.
Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley again went on a roll. They were 2 down through seven holes when they combined to birdie seven of the next eight holes that swung the match in their favour. They beat Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge, 2 and 1.
Angel Cabrera, after winning a foursomes match Saturday morning, struggled with his back and had no chance with Branden Grace, the only player without a point so far. Webb Simpson and Bill Haas delivered the only rout in fourballs, 4 and 3.
Woods and Kuchar were 3-0 going into foursomes Saturday afternoon.
Scott and Matsuyama won the first hole with a birdie and never trailed until the final holes. Woods stuffed his approach into 5 feet for birdie on the 13th. Kuchar, who had missed three putts inside 7 feet that would have won holes, finally converted from 7 feet on the 14th for their first lead. Woods then delivered the signature moment Saturday when he ripped a fairway metal, crouching and pumping his fist when it plugged 4 feet below the pin. The eagle was conceded. The lead was 2 up.
Matsuyama answered with a 25-foot birdie putt on the next hole. Scott had a birdie putt just inside 10 feet on the 18th for a good chance to earn a halve, but Kuchar made his birdie putt for the 1-up win.
"Boy, that sure was a fun way to end it," Kuchar said.
For Woods, it was his eighth straight win in the Presidents Cup when playing on home soil.
Earlier Saturday, Marc Leishman came up with a big putt and a superb 7-iron that led to birdies as he and Cabrera beat Snedeker and Simpson. That match allowed the International team to split the six matches of foursomes and at least keep it close.
But not for long. After the fourballs session, the Internationals had to win its first session of this Presidents Cup to at least have a reasonable chance Sunday.

Rescheduled Graduation Draws Thousands to Honor Fall Class of 2013
Natasha Ghosh clutched a bounty of flowers and balloons after graduating with a master's degree in human development and early childhood disorders. She stands in front of the new Edith O'Donnell Arts and Technology Building.
One week after an ice storm shut down North Texas and the University, five rescheduled graduation ceremonies gave nearly 1,000 students the chance to celebrate with their families under sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s.
About half of the roughly 2,300 fall graduates attended Sunday's ceremonies. Several hundred attended a reception for graduates with President David E. Daniel on the first day the University reopened, and others have decided to walk during spring ceremonies in May.
"Today, the feeling is unexplainable – it has been great!" said Chirantan Joshipura, who earned a master's degree in electrical engineering.
Joshipura's emotion was shared by others, whose families flocked to the University's Activity Center or watched a live stream of the back-to-back ceremonies online.
There was Thomas Maglisceau, a husband, father of two sons and principal at Rockwall-Heath High School, who earned a PhD in public affairs.

Students Jilted by Ice Storm Enjoy Graduate Reception with President
There was Stephanie and Katherine Salavarria, a mother and daughter who both earned bachelor's degrees in interdisciplinary studies.
And Meron Bekele and Azeb Feseha, childhood friends from Ethiopia who encouraged each other as they studied accounting so far from home.
Friends and family clapped and cheered as each graduate walked across the stage to be congratulated by President Daniel, deans and other faculty members.
Sunday's commencement was an occasion that Kelly Brennan said she did not want to miss.
Chirantan Joshipura (right) came to UT Dallas from Gujarat, India, to pursue his master's in electrical engineering. His mother and father, Jagrutiben and Kamalnayan Joshipura, celebrated with him Sunday.
"It took me four and a half years to finish my education. I'm the first one in my immediate family to graduate college, so to walk the stage means a lot to me," said Brennan, who earned a bachelor's degree in literary studies and a teaching certificate. "I have a little sister, and I wanted to be a good role model – I wanted her to see me walk the stage."
Friends Heidy Lam and Shannon Sarkar said they would not have been standing in their caps and gowns Sunday if they had not had each other. The two graduates, both accounting/finance double majors, met two years ago in an accounting class.
Sarkar said they gravitated toward each other because "maybe they were scared of accounting" at first. "But once you meet that one person (to bond and study with), your entire perspective changes," she said. Both are now searching for jobs in the Dallas area.
Army veteran Randal Terrell was joined by his wife, Tasha, and two daughters, Kayla and Brianna, as he graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminology from the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences.
Randal Terrell, who earned a bachelor's degree in criminology, wore a veterans cord for his service in the U.S. Army and another for Alpha Phi Sigma, the national honor society for students of criminal justice.
He wore a red, white and blue cord, which is given to students who have served in the military. Terrell walks with a cane after a training accident broke his femur at the hip joint. His return from Germany after the accident was marked by extensive rehabilitation to learn to walk again. After remastering his mobility, he decided to master his education.
"(My leg) limits my ability, but it didn't stop an education," said Terrell, who finished his degree in three years.
For some, attending UT Dallas has been a shared experience with family members.
Stephanie Salavarria is a UT Dallas employee in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. She began attending classes in 2011 and was joined six months later by her daughter, Katherine Salavarria. Both completed bachelor's degrees in interdisciplinary studies at the same time.
Similarly, graduate Naani Chando, originally from Zimbabwe, graduated with honors after starting the management information systems program in fall 2011. She is the first in her family to earn a college degree. But the next is not far behind, as her daughter attends UT Dallas as a biology and business double major.
Munashe Chando laughed as she said her mother was putting her "under a lot of pressure" by graduating summa cum laude.
"It's been great setting an example for both (of my children)," Naani Chando said. "I hope they do even better."
Stephanie Salavarria (left) and her daughter, Katherine Salavarria, both graduated with bachelor's degrees in interdisciplinary studies. Stephanie also is an administrative assistant in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.
For Mark DeCourcy, his graduation included a different sort of family connection. His father, George DeCourcy, a senior lecturer in finance and managerial economics in the Naveen Jindal School of Management, got to congratulate him on stage and hand him his UT Dallas diploma cover. The younger DeCourcy earned an MBA and master's degree in finance.
"I'm proud to have this privilege," his father said.
During his remarks, Daniel expressed his sorrow that the ceremonies had to be postponed, and he thanked family and friends for attending the quickly rescheduled events. He concluded each ceremony by congratulating the graduates, who he pointed out were the University's newest alumni.
"Graduates, as you leave UTD for your next challenge, take with you the confidence that you received a world-class education from a truly exceptional university," he said. "Your UTD degree is a key that can open many doors to you. Once you enter, the rest will be up to you, but I'm not worried – you've shown what you're made of and proven what you can do."

MIAMI, FL and NEW YORK, NY, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee voted 10 to 4 that the overall risk/benefit profile of low-dose mesylate salt of paroxetine (LDMP; 7.5 mg/day) is not acceptable to support approval. LDMP is an investigational nonhormonal treatment specifically developed for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause.
Additionally, the committee voted:
The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of its advisory committees, but will consider their guidance during the ongoing review of the New Drug Application (NDA) that was submitted for LDMP in August 2012. The scheduled Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date for LDMP is June 28, 2013.
"As conveyed during Noven's presentation, we believe our clinical trial data support LDMP as a safe, effective nonhormonal treatment option offering clinical benefit to menopausal women," said Joel S. Lippman , M.D., Noven's Executive Vice President – Product Development and Chief Medical Officer. "While we are disappointed in today's outcome, we appreciate the discussion and will work closely with the FDA as it completes its ongoing evaluation."
Moderate to severe VMS affect approximately 24 million menopausal women in the United States and approximately two-thirds are not currently treating their VMS with either prescription medication or over-the-counter supplements. There are currently no FDA-approved nonhormonal options for the treatment of VMS.

Note: Since publication, I have corrected a couple of typos.
You saw the news today: Postmedia has chopped at least two dozen jobs, killed some of its newspapers' Sunday edition, temporarily suspended Monday publication of The National Post and stopped printing on most holidays.
You may have noticed, in the coverage, the reasons: the company's last quarterly financial report contained an operating loss of $11 million, and Postmedia is carrying a debt more than $510 million. Revenue from ads and circulation is still falling, partly because of a slow-growing economy but mostly because of long-term trends.
What you may not have noticed is that last week, there was – every single day, from Monday to Friday – news of layoffs and cancelled print editions from newspapers in the U.S. and Britain. So, we are into our sixth straight business day of bad news for newspapers.
I don't want you to think, though, that we're seeing the death of newspapers or of journalism itself.
Newspapers are, indeed, changing and changing rapidly. They are becoming smaller (in pages and staff) and more locally focussed. They are putting increasing burdens on reporting staff: Your copy better be good and it better be clean, because it will be read by fewer editors. You better bring more to the office than the ability to report and write. If you're not engaged with audience through social media, you had better get there and get there quickly.
As for journalism, in the 40 years I've spent working in and teaching about journalism, I've never seen it better. The explosion in different forms of storytelling, whether it's data journalism, newspaper video or the seeming resurgence in long-form, has created a deep well that we can all draw from wherever we happen to be.
The whole thing is messy right now, though. No one knows exactly what's going on or where this is all going to wind up. There's a tendency to reduce it all to simplicities — if only people would pay; if only Google/HuffingtonPost/whatever would go away; if only…. Unfortunately, for you students, this all will stay messy for a while. Perhaps a long while.
But, you also may have noticed last week there were a few journalism job openings advertised at newspapers in the Lower Mainland, in the Interior and on Vancouver Island. Newspapers are still hiring, although not in the numbers they once were, and the competition for those jobs is stiff.
And I look back at the last couple of graduating classes and see that some of those students are working as journalists and others are active freelancers. We've even had students working as journalists — paid journalists — while they completed their degrees.
There's no need to give up on journalism, or even newspapers, quite yet.
But all of this does have implications for you over the next two, three or four years.
I believe that the people who are going to be hired to do journalism, and who are going to build the successful freelance careers, are those who do it best. Fewer editors mean there will be a great demand for journalists who report solidly and write well and cleanly. Fewer bodies in the newsroom mean there will be a great demand for journalists with skills in all the varieties of storytelling and, conversely, for those who have deeply mastered such in-demand skills as data journalism (although more on that in a minute).
The continual conversion of the newspaper industry from print to digital, means there will be a great demand for journalists who bring with them knowledge of, and skill at, integrating social media into their work, and engaging directly and well with "audience." And the rapidly changing nature of the beast, means there will always be a demand for journalists who are highly skilled today and who make a commitment to continually learning the skills they need to be highly skilled next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.
If I were a journalism student, my bucket list would be something like this:
• absorb the fundamental skills of journalism — the reporting, the verification, the writing — and become not just adept at them all, but become the best I can possibly be.
• learn all of the storytelling modes and methods that I could, and practice hard and often to develop and hone the skills to use them.
• continue to learn not only in the classroom, but outside of it, taking advantage of the seemingly endless list of tutorials, webinars, online courses and workshops.
• practice these skills relentlessly, not just in response to an assignment, and seek feedback and guidance for all of my work, not just that which is assigned.
• press my instructors to teach me more, teach me more deeply, help drive my progress toward becoming one of those who does it best.
Here's the thing: good people, people who can do the job well, will always have a future in journalism. They may not have the same type of career I had or work for the type of newspapers that I did, but they will do journalism.
Watch the news from the industry. Share in the laments over the downfalls and the exultations for the successes. Stay informed about what's happening and what smart people are saying they think it means. Watch the developments.
Above all, be good.
Note: Right now, there are a lot of people who'll tell you data journalism and journalism-related programming is the place to be. They're right, of course. But five years ago, people would have told you the place to be was in multimedia journalism, 10 years ago that it was in web journalism and 15 years ago that it was in narrative journalism. And they were all right.
Times change. Newspapers (as we are seeing) change. Demands change. Which means two things, I think.
1. You need to stay as current as possible in understanding where the jobs are and what skills are being prized now and in the foreseeable future. (Four years or five from now, I suspect, there are going more computer science-journalism grads than there are jobs for them.)
2. You can protect yourself against those changes, by studying not only deeply, but widely, and in loading up your skills toolbox with as much as it can hold.
Oh, and did I mention that you can protect yourself by be being good.

On Jean Toomer and Social Class
Barbara Foley
The omission of any serious consideration of class in most Toomer criticism has divested Toomer's work of a crucial social and historical dimension. In part the blame for this distortion can be laid upon Toomer himself, whose comments about his own writing tended to stress its mythic, lyrical, and transhistorical qualitiesthat is, those features that have subsequently come to be seen as definitive of high modernism. In part, however, the stripping away of history from Toomer's early textsmost crucially affecting Canehas been carried out by critics approaching Toomer through the lens of a high modernist a priori. That is, seeking a representation largely untrammeled by specific historical reference, many Toomer critics have, not unsurprisingly, discovered such a representation. This high modernist a priori has frequently been compounded by an anti-Marxist a priori which posits that writers' left-wing commitmentsunless codified and repeatedly articulated as explicit doctrineshould not be taken especially seriously. Such a premise conveniently prevents scholars from asking the questions that would enable them to uncover those primary texts that would refute the premise in Toomer's case, the almost universally neglected 1919 writings published in the New York Call. The resurrection of these writings does not require us to conclude that Toomer "really was" a radical after all; as I have been suggesting, Toomer's class politics were as contradictory as his racial politics. But these writingsas well as the multiple references to social stratification throughout Toomer's portraiture of Washington societyrequire us to adjust the lenses through which we read his work.
The obfuscation of social and historical references in Cane and other early 1920s Toomer texts has also been enabled, moreover, by the dominant critical tendency to decouple race from classor, in commentary acknowledging their interrelation, to assert that this relation is conjunctural rather than dialectical. Even analyses that reject essentialist notions of race and read Toomer as a racial deconstructionist avant la lettre ordinarily treat "race" itself as a largely autonomousif highly mediated and socially constructedphenomenon. What is revealed in Toomer's autobiographical, dramatic, journalistic, and fictional writings of the period beginning in 1919 and extending up to the 1930s, however, is that his conceptualization of American racial discourses and practices was profoundly shaped by his awareness of classnot only as a set of subject positions but also as a set of social relations and a basis for theorizing those social relations. We have recently been reminded that "race matters." Toomer, I believe, would have us remember that "class matters" as well"matters," indeed, as the "matter" that makes "race" such a persistently agonizing and complex issue in U. S. society and in the texts wherein that society is represented.

A blood dragon-emblazoned card tucked within retail copies of the Dragon Age Origins: Awakening expansion suggests that February 1, 2011 is a date of some importance to BioWare's latest RPG franchise. Is this the release date for Dragon Age 2?
The card is definitely dating something, but isn't it a bit early to reveal a release date for Dragon Age 2? Perhaps not, especially when you consider that EA already revealed that a follow-up to last year's hit role-playing game would be heading our way in the first quarter of 2011, along with Dead Space 2. February 1st certainly falls within that time frame.
We've pinged BioWare for confirmation of the date's meaning.
As for further information regarding upcoming sequel, our Stephen Totilo inquired about it while speaking with BioWare's Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzkya at GDC last week, but the pair declined to divulge any details.

My daughter sat the 11 plus exam this week and commented that these papers were the closest to the exam than any of the other materials we looked at. They are challenging, but I would highly recommend them as nothing else was more effective in my daughter's exam preparation.
My daughter found the paper more alike to the mock tests than anything else she had been using. Wish I had found them sooner!
Brilliant service helpful and prompt. I have bought several papers now in preparation for the 11+ exams; excellent, comprehensive papers challenging but great practice.
Good practice papers and challenging questions
Very useful and accurate difficulty level. Highly recommended.
We were recommended this site for practice papers by a friend. My son did one before his SET and initially he didn't get great marks. We found the answer videos very helpful and also it was really good for him to know what to expect in the real test. He passed the SET which was great.
Packs available per subject for 11+ independent school and grammar school examinations, including CEM.
Full 11+ curriculum covered and all packs include answers.
"We have been using the 11+ independent school range to help prepare students at our after-school club. The papers focus on the specific skills required for these exams and have proved immensely beneficial." Maggie Chun, Igloo Learning
"The 11+ grammar school range is highly recommended if your child is taking exams set by GL Assessment." Shahid Khan, father of 11+ student
The 11+ examination is used to select students for Year 7 entry into schools across the country. We recognise the general difference in format and style between independent and grammar school testing as well as the more recent introduction of exams created by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM). For this reason, we have developed specific test papers for each exam type for Mathematics, English and Verbal Reasoning that reflect these differences. Our grammar school resources are especially useful for those sitting tests set by GL Assessment.
Our papers cover every aspect of the written examination process for Mathematics, English and Verbal Reasoning.
A great way for students to familiarise themselves with the exam format and question styles, whilst perfecting their exam technique. Designed to be challenging and engaging.
Accurate reflection of the actual exams. Reviewed and updated regularly to ensure they are current and up to date.

Guidelines for Performing An Effective Search
Please read the Introduction when using an application for the first time. It may provide you with information regarding the original data, as well as how it is organized within the database. In some cases you may be able to view information on geographic location, historical background, and microfilm as well as other information that may aid you in your research.
Entering as much information as you can will result in a faster, more effective search.
Illegal Characters: Using characters such as ! @ # $ % & + = \ / | ^ and other special characters in a search field will result in an error when performing a search. Characters such as - ' ( ) ? * may be used in some cases. Please refer to the introduction for information regarding the usage of special characters in the database.
Using Begins With, Exactly or Contains options:
Exactly: Using this option produces more accurate search results. This option is recommended when using Soundex to produce accurate results.
Begins With Example: Entering John and choosing Begins With will return names such as John, Johnson, Johnstone, etc.
Contains Example: Entering Donald and choosing Contains will return names such as McDonald, MacDonald, Donaldson, etc.
Wildcards You can use a question mark to represent a single character or you can use an asterick to represent one or more characters. Example: Entering All?n will return names such as Allan, Allen, etc., Entering Mc* will return names such as McBay, McBriarty, etc.
Variant Spellings: When searching for a name that may have variant spellings such as SMITH, SMITHE, or SMYTHE, it may be helpful to use the Soundex option, if available.
Dates: In applications requiring a range of dates to be entered, dates must be within the specified range shown on the search form. These fields will usually contain the default values of the minimum and maximum years in the database.
Unknown Years: If the "Include Unknown Years" option is available, check it to include records in your search for which no years have been entered in the database. In some cases, the official document may have been illegible or the information not entered.
County: Choosing a county will further limit your search.
Customizing Your Search Results: Use the drop-down boxes at the bottom of the search form to:
The results of your search may take a moment to download, please be patient.
Regarding Search Results:
Information in the database must appear as originally recorded -- Archives cannot make changes to Official records.
Search options available when viewing a record
When you are viewing a record you may notice the following icons . These icons allow you to search the Federated Database or Vital Statistics using the values from the name field adjacent to the icons.
Using Soundex
Soundex is a means established by the US National Archives to index the US Census (beginning in 1880). It codes together surnames of the same and similar sounds but of variant spellings such as SMITH and SMYTH. Both of these names would have the same Soundex code. Thus, if you entered SMITH for a last name and used the Soundex option, your search would return all names that sound like SMITH even if they are spelled differently.
Limitations of Soundex:
Surname prefixes such as La, De and Van are generally not used in the Soundex. However, Mc, Mac and O generally are not considered prefixes and are coded for Soundex.
Names that sound alike do not always have the same Soundex code. For example, Lee and Leigh are pronounced identically, but have different Soundex codes because the silent g in Leigh is given a code.
Names that sound alike but start with a different first letter will always have a different Soundex code. Names such as Carr and Karr will have different codes.

Its so easy to craft your own centerpiece for the holidays. Your guests will think you hired a florist!
During theseder, I like to have the seder plate set upon a bowl with floating flowers, so it can be revealed when the eldest girl removes the seder plate from the table, (a yearly tradition).
Follow these simple instructions- please let me know if you have any questions! Just post a comment below!
-a round oasis ring at any flower shop 12″
-one bunch green roses
-1 bunch daisys
-1 bunch of any pretty green filler
-flowers – $18.00
-oasis ring -2 for $12.00
-Soak the oasis for a couple of hours using a large tin
-Trim the roses and daisys leaving only about one inch of stem
Now this is the fun part!
-Just stick the flowers in any order you want.
-I placed the rose one by one to cover the oasis, then I placed the daisies.
-Before I knew it the whole thing was full and gorgeous!
-I tried not to place flowers on the inside of the oasis …Knowing I was placing a bowl in the center
-Place a bowl in the middle of the ring.
-Fill the bowl with a little water and float flowers in the bowl.
-You are now going to top this with the seder plate.
When you remove the seder plate from the table you still have a gorgeous centerpiece on your table!

Advanced Search Techniques for Systematic Reviews, Health Technology Asses
Extensive literature searches are the foundation of high quality systematic reviews, health technology assessment (HTA) and guideline development. Developing search strategies to retrieve research evidence from databases and other resources requires a range of knowledge and skills. There are constant challenges to keeping up-to-date with new database features and approaches to achieving efficient searches. Search approaches may need to be adapted depending on the end-product which the search is informing and the resources available. Search approaches increasingly need to be explained to sponsors in terms of the extent to which they are fit-for-purpose.

Teaching Tolerance Honors Culturally Responsive Teaching Award Winners
On Jan. 25, 2013 the five winners of the 2012 Teaching Tolerance Culturally Responsive Teaching Award were honored at a special gathering in Washington. The award, created and administered by the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance project, recognizes educators who have demonstrated excellence in teaching students from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.
In addition to the presentation of the award, the event—organized by Education Week Teacher—featured an in-depth discussion with the award-winning teachers on how they engage and support students from diverse backgrounds and the challenges associated with doing so in today's schools. A follow-up panel discussion with education thought leaders explored issues surrounding Common Core implementation and the learning experiences of minority and disadvantaged students.
The event concluded with a deeply felt keynote address on understanding the needs of diverse students by Lisa Delpit, author of the groundbreaking Other People's Children
Complete video highlights from the awards event are provided below.
The Winners:
(Click on each winner for additional details.)
Lhisa Almashy, ESOL teacher, Park Vista High School in Lake Worth, Florida.A graduate of the University of San Francisco in California, Almashy has more than 16 years of experience in teaching and administering multicultural programs in her district...
She teaches English as a second language to 9th, 10th, and 12th graders by incorporating her students' personal, family, and school experiences into her lessons. "I learn about my students' values from their homes and communities by being involved in their education and in their lives," she says, adding that she tries to go beyond stereotypes and generalizations to understand each student and help him or her succeed.
Central to Almashy's success in meeting the needs of the vibrant multicultural and multilingual student community she works with is the opportunity she sees to develop lifelong learners. "Teaching is the best profession," she proclaims, "because our 'products' are human beings, and we can be part of the vast resources they bring with them."
Anna Baldwin, English teacher, Arlee High School in Arlee, Montana.Baldwin teaches English, composition and speech, and multicultural literature on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. She has 14 years of teaching experience in Montana and has received state, local, and national awards for her work, including the Distinguished Educator award from the Montana Association of Teachers of English Language Arts. She received her Ed.D. from the University of Montana in Missoula...
With 70 percent of her students being of tribal descent, Baldwin enlists tribal professionals and experts to share lessons in history, ecology, and literature with her students. She also incorporates materials that appeal to students' individual interests and strengths. "Culture emanates from more than ethnicity," she says. "There is teen culture, home culture, as well as traditional culture."
Her hope is that through "earnest discussion about things that matter, provocative assignments and texts, and supportive and honest relationships, students will leave the classroom with a better sense of themselves, their world, and their place in it."
Darnell Fine, 6th and 7th Grade Humanities Teacher and K-8 Multicultural Coordinator, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, Atlanta, Georgia.Fine, who has been teaching for four years, attended Brown University in Providence, R.I., where he received a bachelor's degree in African studies. He also holds a secondary-education teaching certification in history and social studies...
In his teaching, Fine draws on lessons and challenges from his own childhood to help motivate his 6th and 7th grade students in humanities, language arts, and social studies. "My household was defined as 'chaotic,'" he says. "Now, as a teacher, I am confronted with the underside of the hidden curriculum, where fellow educators still attribute low achievement to 'dysfunctional' households." By contrast, he believes his students' diverse backgrounds give them a range of unique learning assets, and he seeks to tap into these by connecting assignments and discussions to their real-life experiences.
Fine also builds relationships with parents, families, and other members of his students' community by hosting open forums, town hall meetings, and Socratic seminars. He contends that true inclusion is not merely a matter of valuing and celebrating cultural differences, stating, "I must provide safe spaces for children to express their perspectives on life and what they are learning."
Robert Sautter, Kindergarten teacher, Leonard R. Flynn Elementary School, San Francisco, California.Sautter has been teaching children in San Francisco for seven years. In that time, his innovative methods and commitment to helping students thrive has been formally recognized by the San Francisco mayor's office, the San Francisco school district, Edutopia, and other organizations...
As a kindergarten teacher, Sautter sees his primary role as creating a bond of trust to build relationships with his students and their families. He learns as much as he can about his students by making informal visits to their homes and developing "partnership plans" in which parents share their goals for their children.
"I offer a home visit to my families, and I consider it a privilege to be welcomed into my students' homes, knowing that, for some, having someone who represents an institution with which they may not have had many positive experiences is a tremendous act of faith," he says.
Sautter also tries to make school a welcoming, familiar place for students. In his classroom, each school day opens with a "community circle" in which students greet each other using their home languages. And he takes pains to ensure that his classroom reflects the community's diversity, so students can see themselves and their families in the books, artwork, and photography displayed.
Laurence Tan, 5th grade teacher, 122nd Street Elementary School, Los Angeles, California.Tan has been teaching in Los Angeles' Watts community for 11 years. His teaching philosophy is oriented around five important E's of learning—engage, educate, experience, empower, and enact...
To bring these characteristics into his classroom, he uses a unique social justice curriculum that combines lessons on African-American, Latino, and Asian-American history with video games, social networking, and YouTube activities. He also values each student's identity and incorporates their diverse backgrounds into his teaching, frequently asking families to share their expertise with students through special mini-lessons.
The academic success of Tan's students has helped his school go from a "Program Improvement School" to a "California Distinguished School." But he has other goals for his students as well. "I define success as creating changes in an individual and the community, personal growth and a willingness to give back to others, collective struggle, and a sense of selflessness," he says. "The work we do in the classroom has been transformative for the community and the students."
In addition to teaching, Tan has helped establish the Watts Youth Collective with former students, an organization that promotes social change through the use of both new and old media in education. "The development of youth into socially critical and responsible individuals is of the highest importance, and is evidenced in the actions, responses, and willingness to give back … in my former and current students," he says.

Cristiano Ronaldo is emerging as the player of this tournament, or at least the striker other teams have to find a way to stop, yet it does Portugal a disservice to depict them as a one-man team.
Even if by his recent standards this was a quiet, unflashy, almost workmanlike performance from the Portuguese captain, he still hit a post at both ends and scored his third goal of the competition just when his side needed it. The Czechs could not keep him out for 90 minutes, though the only goal was a team goal, with Ronaldo merely supplying the emphatic finish.
That is not to say he did not deserve the headlines and another man of the match award but Portugal do not simply channel everything through him. They had to wait 79 minutes for their breakthrough, and when it came it was a result of patient passing that moved the ball from one side of the pitch to the other, and exemplary movement and vision from Nani and João Moutinho.
It was beginning to look as if the Czechs' dour, dogged commitment to defence would at least take the tie to extra time but that is a dangerous game to play against a side with such silky attacking runners as Portugal. They will face a far more searching examination against Spain or France in the semi-final, though Ronaldo is probably looking forward already to the space he will find against teams who actually send players up the field in search of goals of their own. The Czech Republic played the only trick they knew and it did not work. Confronted by constricted space and a massed defence Ronaldo still found enough chances for a hat-trick, all the time seemingly holding something in reserve for greater challenges ahead. If this is to be Portugal's year, and it might be, Ronaldo knows the crucial test is coming up in Donetsk next week.
Portugal too sat back at first, as if they had heard of the theory that they do not perform well against opponents who defend deep and were prepared to play the Czechs at their own game. You could tell that approach did not appeal to Ronaldo, who reacted with all the toys-out-of-the-pram petulance of old when the first ball he chased into the Czech half beat him and rolled into touch. As captain, and already carrying a booking, Ronaldo seemed alarmingly pumped-up considering the game was seven minutes old, though the rest of his team-mates were in danger of being too laid back for their own good. When no one bothered to check Michal Kadlec's run out of defence the centre- half carried the ball all the way into the Portugal penalty area and tried his luck with a shot. Portugal's casual surrender of possession on half way allowed Vladimir Darida to set up the first chance of the game for Milan Baros.
Once in the first half Ronaldo flicked a pass to Moutinho and accelerated through the centre to reach the return, instantly finding the space the Czechs were trying to deny him but on this occasion being brought back for a shove on the last defender.
The Czech defence faced a similar dilemma to Holland's in the last group game. They knew exactly what Ronaldo would try to do but that did not make it any easier to stop him. His next two attempts went wide, the first an improvised overhead kick when the ball came through to him unexpectedly, the next an ambitious shot direct from a free-kick 30 yards out that he caught well but Petr Cech had covered anyway.
Cech was beaten when Ronaldo brought an undistinguished and uneventful first half to a close by almost putting his side in front at the optimum moment. Taking a high ball forward on his chest in the area he effortlessly held off Kadlec while at the same time turning to shoot, only to see his crisp low drive rebound from the foot of a post.
Hugo Almeida should have put Portugal ahead at the start of the second half instead of wasting an excellent cross by Raul Meireles, before Ronaldo struck the outside of the post again from a free-kick.
By the hour stage the Czechs were playing with 10 men behind the ball and seldom getting out of their own half. Nani then Moutinho brought saves from Cech with shots from distance but clearly something special was going to be required. Ronaldo duly obliged with a diving header from near the penalty spot that Cech had no chance of saving, much to the delight of the watching Portuguese greats Luís Figo and Eusébio. He then ran to the nearest camera to blow kisses to the millions of fans around the world.
He should really have been acknowledging the excellent Moutinho's part in the proceedings, though his team-mates are probably used to him by now.

Business Recycling
Recycling is the right thing to do, can save your business money and it's also the law. Minneapolis passed a commercial recycling ordinance in 2011 and a multifamily recycling ordinance in 1991. Furthermore, the State of Minnesota passed a law mandating commercial recycling in 2014. The commercial recycling law is effective January 1, 2016 and more information on who is required to comply can be found on their Recycling at your business webpage.
Why Recycle?
Saves Natural Resources & Energy:
It takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than it does to make it from raw materials. Making recycled steel saves 60%, recycled newspaper 40%, recycled plastics 70%, and recycled glass 40%. These savings far outweigh the energy created as by-products of incineration and landfilling.
Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!
Creates Jobs: & Improves the Economy:
Public sector investment in local recycling programs pays great dividends by creating private sector jobs. For every job collecting recyclables, there are 26 jobs in processing the materials and manufacturing them into new products.
Improves the Economy:
Not recycling costs money: another 1.2 million tons of recyclable material was thrown away, but could have been easily recycled for an additional estimated value of $285 million dollars. Instead, it costs Minnesotans $200 million to throw it away.
Recycling generates profit: Our recyclable material has tremendous economic value. In 2010, Minnesota recycling programs collected approximately 2.5 million tons of material worth $690 million.
How can recycling save my business money?
State Solid Waste Management Taxes and County Fees are imposed on collection, transportation, processing, and disposal of garbage. The State Solid Waste Management tax on garbage is 17%; the County Solid Waste Management Fee is 21.5%. In total, commercial businesses are taxed 38.5% on their garbage service. There are no taxes or fees for recycling or organics.
Diverting materials from the garbage to recycling or organics can allow a business to reduce the size of their garbage dumpster and/or reduce the frequency of their garbage collection service. Both of these actions have the ability to help a business save money.
Where can I get assistance?
Hennepin County has grants to help businesses add or improve recycling and/or organics management programs. Free assistance includes: signage, assistance with collection set up, evaluation of waste stream and potential cost savings, and a supply educational and promotional materials.
Hennepin County also has grants for business to apply to get free containers and upgrade their products, system and facility to minimize waste and improve recycling and organics programs. For more information visit: www.hennepin.us/businessrecycling or call (612) 348-3777.
City's Commercial Recycling Ordinance
As of Sept. 1, 2011, all Minneapolis commercial and business property owners are required to offer recycling, and there are resources to help those who need to set up a new system. Most Minneapolis businesses already recycle.
Under the ordinance, commercial property owners and managers are required to provide:
- Regular recycling collection (at least twice a month) for all materials generated onsite deemed recyclable in Minneapolis, including paper, cardboard, metal cans, plastic food and beverage containers, and glass bottles and jars.
- Persons may also provide their own collection and delivery of recyclables to a recycling facility.
- Adequate recycling containers stored on the premises of the building in locations that are convenient for the deposit and collection of recyclable materials by all tenants of the building.
- Recycling collection and storage areas.
- Written recycling information and instructions distributed to each business or commercial use located in the building annually.
- A written recycling plan. It can simply list where on the premises you collect recycling and which recycling company you use. See template (pdf) for guidance.
The fire marshal and authorized representatives and designees shall enforce this ordinance. Failure to comply will result in a warning notice. If a recycling system is on in place within 10 business days, an administrative penalty may be issued. Additionally, failure to comply with this section may constitute good cause for the denial, suspension, revocation or refusal to issue the certificate of commercial building registration.
Which businesses are affected?
The ordinance requires all commercial and business properties to offer recycling. For questions about this recycling requirement, call the City of Minneapolis at 311 during business hours.
Can the City of Minneapolis collect recycling from my business?
Businesses that can utilize carts for once weekly garbage collection and once every other week recycling collection may be able to opt-in to Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling garbage and recycling service. Businesses that need more frequent collection and/or larger containers must contract with a private hauler for the service. For more information about Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling commercial service, contact our office.

New York environmental public policy debates in 2003 are likely to be dominated by fights over money.
In a year in which both the city and state budgets are facing gaping deficits, expect to see bruising battles over funding for wide-ranging programs from recycling to superfund/brownfields clean-up to air pollution reduction. Every environmental initiative will be scrutinized in terms of its economic impact on this year's budgets, and proposals that require major new expenditures will be in for tough sledding.
Among the money pots that will be watched most closely is the State's Environmental Protection Fund. This dedicated funding mechanism created in l993 to finance such statewide programs as open space preservation, landfill closures, waterfront revitalization and urban parks is a possible target of raids from cash-strapped Albany officials. Convincing Governor George Pataki to protect $125 million of these dedicated funds will be one of the first environmental challenges of the new year.
At the same time, 2003 will also present opportunities for advancing environmental proposals that can reduce government operating costs or boost government income. Among the ideas that are likely to receive attention are new initiatives for energy conservation at the city and state level; increasing tolls on the city's East River bridges; and recovering from the beverage industry millions of dollars of unredeemed five cent bottle and can deposits that New York consumers pay every year.
Of course, there will also be efforts to address other issues that could have long-term adverse consequences for public health or the state's ecology if they continue to be ignored. For example, the governor is expected to advance a major new initiative to reduce New York's contribution to global warming. Depending on the specifics of his proposal, this could be particularly significant -- especially given the mounting evidence that climate change resulting from the burning of coal and other fossil fuels is the nation's number one environmental threat.
While many other environmental matters are likely to surface in the coming twelve months, here is a quick run-down of four issues certain to be the subject of forthcoming policy debates:
The most visible environmental issue of 2003 will probably be the rebuilding at the World Trade Center site and the reshaping of Lower Manhattan's infrastructure. Nine new design proposals have recently been presented to the public, and various public forums will be held during January and February (although, asyet, there is no official event comparable to the Civic Alliance's Listening to the City gathering that was convened to review the first set of design proposals last year). Meanwhile, the Port Authority and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation have established an extremely tight schedule for the selection of a land use plan for the area by the end of February.
Of course, developing the concept and design for a meaningful memorial to the thousands who lost their lives on September 11th must be a top priority. And there will no doubt be much debate in coming months over the size and shape of the new buildings, as well as over the amount of open space and waterfront access.
But the scope of environmental issues involved in the rebuilding effort is much broader. How will the transit infrastructure be reconfigured and what impact will the choices have on future development patterns throughout the region?Will planners seize the opportunity to make these new buildings world-class models of energy-efficiency and green design?And what connection will there be between plans for the trade center site and Mayor Bloomberg's own provocative plan for reshaping Lower Manhattan with everything from new airport links to new parks?
"The world is watching what we do here," says Ron Shiffman, director of Pratt Institute's Center for Community and Environmental Development. "They watched the buildings come down, and they are watching to see what will go up," he continued." If we can rebuild lower Manhattan in a way that does not shift environmental burdens to other communities, that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and that becomes a model of green design, we can send a strong message to the region and the world" as to the future we envision for the urban environment.
Turning to New York City's handling of more than 30,000 tons a day of garbage, the coming year will bring numerous challenges.
Last year, in a big victory for environmental justice advocates, Mayor Bloomberg announced a plan to upgrade the city's old waterfront-based garbage transfer stations for trash export. If implemented, the plan --similar to one advanced by the Organization for Waterfront Neighborhoods and other waste activists -- could dramatically reduce the amount of garbage now carried into and out ofland-based transfer stations(mostly in already overburdened neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the Bronx) by diesel-spewing trucks. The lengthy process for reconstructing the first few waterfront waste transfer stations is expected to begin in 2003.
On the related issue of recycling, the city's solid waste program is facing more hurdles. Last year, the mayor and City Council suspended the collection for recycling of plastics and glass. A governmental task force is due to report in Feburary on future prospects for restoring those materials to the city's existing collection program. (The Sanitation Department has continued to collect paper and metals and take them to processors who pay the city for each ton of recyclables received.)
Although some recycling is already cheaper for the city than exporting trash to out-of-state landfills, finding new ways to reduce the costs of other aspects of the city's recycling program will be a focus of policy-makers in 2003.
"The time has come to look for new mechanisms and new institutions to help the city implement a more cost-effective recycling program,"says Mark Izeman, solid waste expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
A coalition of environmental and civic groups, as well as New York Sate Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, who has already established his credentials as an environmental champion, are seeking to advance legislation that would, among other things, generate as much as 170 million dollars a year for recycling and other programs around the state. This proposal envisions recapturing the unclaimed five cent deposits that are paid by consumers who purchase beer or soda containers but do not return those containers for their deposits. Since the state bottle bill was passed in 1982,beverage distributors have kept more than one billion dollars of such unredeemed nickel deposits. Attorney General Spitzer, environmental advocates and friends of recycling in the state legislature agree that the time for this industry windfall to end has arrived.
New York State's Superfund program, reponsible for cleaning up toxic wastes at hundreds of contaminated sites from Buffalo to Long Island, is stalled. This successful environmental program has essentially run out of funds. Last year, Governor Pataki proposed to spend $138 million per year to clean up all previously identified Superfund sites (as well as help fund "brownfield" clean-ups) over twenty years. But at the end of the legislative session only about nine million dollars were allocated. That was barely enough to retain the Superfund staff at the State Department of Environmental Conservation and to keep several partially completed clean-up projects moving forward. With current funds, the collapsing program can not support new investigations of toxic sites or take on new clean-up projects.
"Superfund and brownfields is the number one legislative environmental issue of the year in Albany," according to Jeff Jones, the ever-present communications director for the Albany-based watchdog group, Environmental Advocates. As has been true in the past several years, the legislative debate will center on appropriate clean-up standards for these sites as well as overall funding levels and the source of those funds ( e.g., the amount paid into the fund by businesses rather than by the general public).
While the number of state Superfund sites in New York City itself is relatively few, there are more than 5,000 abandoned or under-utilized properties, referred to as brownfields. These land parcels, frequently located in industrial and/or waterfront areas, are often not redeveloped due to concerns over possible on-site environmental pollution. Although these properties could be used for new businesses, homes, or recreational facilities, developers have also shied away from them because of pollution-related liability concerns and financial uncertainties. As a result, valuable city lands are lying fallow, in-city job opportunities are being lost, andadded development pressures are being placed on farms and ecologically valuable green spaces in the far fringes of the region.
For several years, legislative proposals have been kicking around in Albany that would attempt to accelerate brownfields clean-up by providing more formal and uniform standards for environmental clean-up and greater involvement by community groups in the planning process for brownfields redevelopment in their neighborhoods. Brownfields reform legislation has been tied to the state superfund issue, and it is likely that the two clean-up programs will once again live or die together in the 2003 legislative session.
Leaded paint remains the major source of high-level lead exposure to New York City children, and one of the oldest environmental disputes is expected to resurface again in 2003.
For decades, physicians have known of the mental and physical risks to children who mouth and chew paint chips that contain lead. (Although the federal government prohibited the use of lead for all interior and exterior paints in 1977, New York's older housing stock contains tens of thousands of apartments and residences where old leaded paint lingers as a problem.)
In l999, a new city statute took effect that altered the previous city law and weakened certain requirements on building owners and managers relating to leaded paint clean-ups. At the time the controversial statute was enacted, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator warned that the new lead law omitted two critical steps-- requiring specially trained workers to conduct remedial lead-paint work and mandating follow-up testing for lead after remediation work is concluded. Public health advocates shared those and other concerns, and have been seeking to revise the law ever since.
"Though lead poisoning is entirely preventable, there were approximately 8, 000 new lead poisoning cases in New York City in the year 2000," says Queens-based City Councilmember John C. Liu, relying on official city statistics. (It is likely that this figure significantly underestimates the total problem.) Liu is one of more than 30 co-sponsors of Intro. 101, a new bill that would tighten leaded paint requirements for building owners and managers.
Manhattan Councilmember Bill Perkins, a primary sponsor of Intro.101, is spearheading the legislative fight for the new lead law. And with the New York Coalition to End Lead Poisoning, West Harlem Environmental Action, and an array of physicians leading the public charge,the push for reform of the city's lead paint law should reach a crescendo in 2003.

I will try to avoid an impossible question, like "what camera should I buy" by being as specific as I can; I was using "search", and realized I was reading something Ted Harris wrote 3 years ago, so the choices have changed!
At PhotoPro I spoke with Ted about software for a "wet darkroom type" wanting to get into digital; since I do 99.5%B&W, and am "zone system comfortable" he recommended the Lightzone software, but I realized it won't run on my functionally obsolete PC (6-yrs old, win98, 348MB). So I figure it is time to buy a new computer, which could, if it helps, be primarily dedicated to photo work, since the old one is still fine for internet surfing and MicroSoft office programs.
My initial use will be to scan negatives (lets say 60% 4x5 LF, 40% 6x6 MF), and make the equivalents of contact sheets and work prints. (My current workflow is to contact everything, make very fast straight work prints on RC of the images that look potentially interesting, and then edit those down to the few that are worth "real" fiber based 11x14 prints. So my starting point is to "digitalize" the process up to the wet final prints.) This is a hobby/passion, but low volume.
While cost is a factor, it is not the deciding one. My experience is that it is cheaper to buy quality right off, rather than increment the way up. I don't use cheap cameras or lenses, so the same would presumably apply to computers. Also, while I think of myself as a competent traditional printer, I wouldn't rule out making digital prints too, just not initially. My leaning is towards one of the Macs. Also, to keep this narrower, lets say new computers only, not used.
Is this enough info to get a recommendation (specifics, rather than generalizations, would make it easier for me)? Thanks!

Hey now, I was contacted by audioroot and the femto preamp is now available. Web page has been updated with more info. Price $645 USD and that includes shipping to US or Canada.Who wants to be the Guinee pig??
Oh god. Now I need to think about a metric conversion for naming conventions. . I actually didn't really look at the size, mostly the layout. I suppose it is a mid priced unit in the scheme of things. Less expensive than a V3 or a USBPre2 (but with no ADC) and more expensive than a Tiny Box or a CA9200.

Great post Brother Steve – this article validates my years-long battle against conservative coaching. I was positive the Patriots would be in the top 10 as this is one part of Belichick's coaching I profoundly agree with – his 4th down aggressiveness (of course I'd be confident too if I knew what defense the other team was in). Nothing irks me more than the massive wuss factor coaches so often exhibit when it's 4th and a few yards and they settle for a field goal or punt (especially when the punt then goes into the end zone or is shanked out at the 35).
As reader Joe points out in his comment, talented writer Gregg Easterbrook at ESPN does talk about this often. I've been a regular reader of his columns for several years now in small part because we seem to have the same view on this 4th down issue. There are many reasons why being more aggressive on 4th down can be an advantage and it's a mystery to me why more coaches don't recognize this:
- it builds offensive confidence
- it can be a huge momentum shifter
- it gets the players and fans pumped up
- it's somewhat easy to catch the other team off guard because few coaches do this
- it gets the players' hearts beating a bit faster – and it helps some players get more absorbed into the game
- it's more of a positive if a 1st down is obtained than it is negative if it isn't (unless you Brett Bielema it and go for it from your own 18 yard line – but for the record, I do like Bielema's overall aggressiveness)
One thing in the article Steve linked to that I noticed was that most of the coaches descending from the Mike Holmgren school of coaching are ranked poorly here. Holmgren, Gruden, Reid, Childress, Marinelli (sort of) are all ranked poorly and I don't think that's a coincidence. I liked Mike Holmgren as the Packers coach because he won and he's proven over the years, he's a great coach who knows what he's doing. And these other coaches have had their share of success too. But one massive problem I always had with Holmgren (and even more so with Mike Sherman) was the conservative play-calling, especially on 4th down. There were times I could have sworn, Holmgren preferred a field goal and called plays to get field goals instead of pushing further to try to get touchdowns. He would call these dead-end 3rd down plays to set up field goals (something Sherman copied – think Noah Herron on a draw on 3rd and 14). Way too much emphasis seemed to be placed on field position without also accounting properly for the flow of the game.
Now, again, it's hard to make an argument against someone who had so much success here, but like Reid and Gruden, Holmgren wasn't/isn't a flawless coach. When Holmgren was here, we didn't win because he was aggressive. His conservative offensive style worked fairly well for 4 main reasons: we had good kickers; the team was incredibly good at detailed execution (players back then seemed to know exactly what to do when – they were well put-together and a very well-balanced team); Favre was phenomenal; and finally one might argue that risk-taking was simply not needed because we dominated teams so much usually from the start of games (though I disagree here because risk-taking can always help). Still, I'll go out on a limb here and say that I think sometimes back then, the team was just so good that it even overcame Holmgren's conservatism. In fact, I'd argue that considering the perfect execution his players were capable of, Holmgren's 4th down percentage back then could have been astronomical had he chosen to be more aggressive.
I'll say it again, Bill Belichick is the master of keeping other teams off balance with interesting play-calls and aggressiveness on 4th downs. Some of his decisions to go for it on 4th and 5 from the opponents' 20 yard line, for example, are ripped because most coaches think "take the easy 3 points". But it is this kind of mindset that can really drive the dagger into the heart of the other team. It is this kind of bucking of convention that can work in the favor of better teams (and for the bad teams, they don't have much to lose so why not try it?). As the Patriots exemplify, 4th down aggressiveness is actually an important part of the killer instinct coaches need to have to elevate their team to the championship level – if coaches are too afraid to take chances, it can send a ripple of doubt into the minds of his players. And doubt is not a common trait of champions.

PHILADELPHIA – Saturday's UFC 133 event drew an announced attendance of 11,583 fans and a live gate of $1.5 million.
UFC president Dana White announced the figures in the night's post-event press conference.
UFC 133 took place at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center and saw Rashad Evans earn a second-round TKO win over Tito Ortiz in the evening's main event.
The number of complimentary tickets issued was not revealed, but the reported numbers represent an average revenue of $129.50 per ticket issued.
The UFC's first-ever trip to "The Keystone State" was for UFC 101 in August 2009. That event also took place in the same building. However, it was known at the time as Wachovia Center.
The sold-out UFC 101 card drew a reported 17,411 spectators for an apparent Pennsylvania combat-sports record $3.55 million gate. However, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission does not typically verify the receipts for public record.
The world's largest mixed martial arts promotion was also in Pennsylvania just six weeks ago, when Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center earned a reported 7,792 attendees for a $562,310 gate.
