Mark Richt blames himself for poor pre-season decision
Georgia finished 6-6 this season, but Mark Richt blamed himself for the 1-4 start. Richt says his decision to eliminate tackling to the ground during the three August scrimmages, ended up really costing his team.
Richt said,"I started the season in camp probably not doing enough live scrimmaging and tackling to the ground. Ever since I've been coaching, that's all I've been around. But we've had a couple of years in a row. We had one season, we started the season we had 32 guys injured before the year even got started. And so I'm like, `Alright, this year, I'm going to do what some other teams do."
"We were still going to scrimmage, you know have three big scrimmages, but we were going to try to go full speed but not go to the ground or not block below the waist to try to beat everybody to the gate."
"I definitely take the blame for the start because I didn't do a good job of getting them ready. I think it did make a difference and we did start to play pretty darn good after that. And I think has a lot to do with things turning around."
After ramping up a mid-season Monday practice, the Bulldogs began playing more like Richt had hoped. The Dawgs won 5 of 7 games down the stretch to become bowl eligible.
Georgia will play UCF in the Liberty Bowl on December 31st.
Quick Hits: Dooley, Harbaugh, Conley, and Pete Lembo
Dooley didn't expect media blitz at Tennessee: "I wasn't surprised early on at the attention because it is Tennessee. But once the newness was over, it was a little bit like, 'Why are you guys still around?' Then I realized you weren't going anywhere, you kind of live here. I was just surprised, I wasn't mad at it or angry, I just didn't expect it to be that many every day. Usually I just expected two or three (reporters)."
Jim Harbaugh talks about a coach's responsibility: "I'd say the biggest thing that I learned was, when a parent or a family sends their son to college to play football, they're really giving you their most prized possession. And it really makes no difference how much the family has in terms of material things or money."
"The biggest responsibility that a college football coach has is just mentoring, taking care of that youngster."
Interesting quote from Syracuse linebackers coach Dan Conley: "I told them (during the season) you may not know what you're working for, but it will be one of the greatest weeks (bowl week) of your life. It will be something you're always going to remember. You're going to have an opportunity to go to a banquet with the team you're playing. There are going to be activities scheduled with the other team, and it's that camaraderie, that respect you build for the opposite team that you go battle on game day."
Ball State head coach Pete Lembo not overly concerned with lack of indoor facility: "Whether or not it has Field Turf on it, that's not the be all, end all. What's important is you can go in there and have space to teach and get your work done and not have your guys outside catching the flu."
"I talked to some coaches in the (MAC) recently, and I candidly asked them how many times they used their indoor facility this season. Three or four was the answer."
"My philosophy is you make the most of what you have, and you work with people around you. I'm not shy about talking about challenges and problems, but I believe in attacking those in a positive way. If you're doing things the right way, and people know that, good things will happen down the road."
Quick Hits: Ekeler, Mullen, Harbaugh, and Jim Tressel
Nebraska linebackers coach Mike Ekeler describes the moment he informed his players about leaving for Indiana: "It was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do professionally. I just stood there for two minutes. I couldn't even talk. I love those guys. They're like my kids."
"If you want to grow as a person and coach, you have to get out of your comfort zone. Some people think I'm nuts. But that's how I'm wired. And that's why I'm leaving my home state and dream job. You've got to grow, man."
Unique and very nice video production from Vandy athletics: Watch this great video of behind-the-scenes Day #1 with Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin.
Quoting West Virginia offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen: "I didn't see this coming."
West Virginia QB Geno Smith praises outgoing offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen: "People don't see what he's done for me off the camera. He took me from a boy who came in not knowing anything about college and a guy who had made a lot of mistakes early in my career and molded me into a man with a lot of responsibilities. I'm able to say that I can take care of my business because of him."
"As far as life goes, he teaches me life lessons on a daily basis. He's not a guy who's all about the Xs and Os. He's genuinely here for the players. I appreciate him for that. He was there for me when I was struggling with my foot injury and going through things and he really uplifted me."
John Harbaugh talks about Jim Harbaugh's future: "I have no idea what he's going to do. We do talk about it all the time. He's having a baby ... in four or five days, and they've got the bowl game, so he's just swimming right now. So he's not even thinking about it right now.
"I think he wants to stay at Stanford, I think he'd love to stay there, but then again, you just have to see what happens. He's not the kind of guy that's going to make any kind of commitment until he's ready to make a commitment. I think his commitment right now is having a baby and winning the Orange Bowl. So we'll see what happens."
Jim Tressel pumped up for Darrell Hazell: "I'm so excited for Darrell Hazell as he takes over as the head coach at Kent State. He has certainly been a difference-maker at Ohio State. The Golden Flashes are starting a golden era led by Darrell Hazell."
Hazell: I went and watched film before I said yes to the job
Just days after winning his first national title at Florida, Urban Meyer told thousands of coaches at the AFCA Coaches Convention that the key to the profession is taking the right jobs.
Meyer urged coaches not to take any job, especially because of salary, but to take jobs where there is immediate potential (i.e. players).
Perhaps Darrell Hazell was listening. On Monday, the former Ohio State wide receivers coach was introduced as the new head coach at Kent State. Before accepting the job however, Hazell admitted, "I went and watched the film before I said yes to the job."
Hazell said, "There are enough good players here to be competitive. If we can surround those good players we have currently with a few other guys, we'll be OK to compete next year for what we want to compete for."
So what the first step?
"If you don't have a belief system, you don't have a chance," said Hazell. "We're going to change the image of our guys, the way they think, to have a balanced ego and walk around with their chest out. That's how it's going to start."
Hazell will coach with Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, where the Buckeyes will face Arkansas on January 4th in New Orleans.
Which assistant coach is absolutely crushing his contract incentives?
Oregon offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Mark Helfrich is cashing in on several contract incentives that will pay quite nicely.
According to USA Today, Helfrich earns $231,000 in base salary. He earned an additional $17,000 for beating Oregon State and $35,000 for winning twelve regular-season games.
Helfrich secured another $12,000 for the team's nine network TV appearances and will receive four months pay ($66,667) for reaching the BCS Championship Game.
What's on the line in Glendale? Helfrich will earn an additional $66,667 for winning the game and $50,000 for notching the Ducks' thirteen victory.
We're not done yet. Helfrich will bring in another $30,000 for a top-10 finish and $75,000 for final #1 ranking.
How stoked is Helfrich about this season?
Most importantly, Helfrich was recently named the 2010 FootballScoop Quarterbacks Coach of the Year. For this honor, we believe he should get another $200,000 for joining an elite group of previous winners such as Josh Heupel (Oklahoma, 2008) and Tom Rossley (Texas A&M, 2009).
On second thought, $250,000 sounds more reasonable. He is the best in his craft, nominated and selected by his peers.
Maryland AD answers tough questions, explains decision
Maryland AD Kevin Anderson announced today that he is making a strategic business decision to buy out the contract of ACC Coach of the Year, Ralph Friedgen.
The most interesting part of the presser came when a reporter asked, "If James Franklin had not left for Vanderbilt, would Ralph be returning?"
Anderson responded, "Yes."
Anderson also said, "James would have been a candidate in that pool. I told him he would not automatically have given him the job. The decision was his (to go to Vanderbilt)."
"We needed to make a long-term well thought out decision."
"Having a head coach with one year remaining on his contract would have made it impossible to recruit well accomplished assistant coaches and high level recruits."
"We will immediately begin a national search."
"The search for a new head coach begins immediately. The search is an open one. Despite reports to the contrary, no candidate has been contacted by me or my staff."
"He (Ralph) made it very clear he didn't want to be a lame duck coach."
"I do have a list. There is no leading candidate. Mike Leach is on that list."
Pete Lembo talks about his plan at Ball State
Ball State introduced new head coach Pete Lembo just moments ago. Lembo was 35-22 in five seasons as the Elon University head coach. He was 44-14 in the five previous seasons as the head coach at Lehigh University.
Lembo said, "This is not about me. This is about the Ball State program and all the different constituents in it. My focus is to maximize the potential of the players."
"I want our team to be the tightest knit team on the campus and in the MAC. We will work hard to develop trust and build intangibles. We will be heavily involved in the players' lives."
"Character and fit are huge components for me."
"I have extensive recruiting in Florida and Georgia, if we need to go outside our region, that's where we'll go."
"The MAC is an outstanding league. It has risen in recent years. It's been a long-term goal of mine. There are so many parallels between the community we are leaving and this community."
"I think in any profession, who you work for is half the battle. I learned a lot of Tom (Collin) in this process. He likes to hire people he can trust and then hand them the keys to the car and support them."
"This is not going to be about Pete Lembo bringing in his guys. Everyone is going to have a clean slate. We are going to embrace all the players."
Bielema undecided on new defensive coordinator
With the departure of defensive coordinator Dave Doeren, Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema has a decision to make regarding the next leader of the Badgers' defense.
Defensive line / specialists coach Charlie Partridge or defensive backs coach Chris Ash will likely call the defense next beginning in the spring. The two coaches could end up as co-coordinators.
Ash explains,"Whatever coach Bielema decides, we'll make it work. We're not going anywhere. We're happy to be here. If he were to bring somebody else in, we'd make it work. But if he named me or Charlie, or co-(coordinators), we'll make it work."
"This is our defense. It's not anyone (else's) defense. We know the defense inside and out. We can run it, we can call it. We'll make our normal offseason adjustments and changes we would normally make. If it came to (co-coordinators), business would roll as usual."
Doeren will serve as the defensive coordinator in the Rose Bowl against TCU before leaving for Northern Illinois as the head coach.
Wisconsin is a 2.5 point dog to TCU.

RiverHouse Dessert Sauce
Low Calorie Dessert Sauces, Low-Sugar & Sugar-Free
Courtesy of
The Nibble
CAPSULE REPORT: RiverHouse Creations makes low-sugar and sugar-free (no sugar added) dessert sauces from the pears and cherries of the Pacific Northwest, plus other classic sauces. The top-quality fruits have natural sweetness, so extra sugar isn't necessary. The low-calorie sauces can be used on cake, cheesecake, fruit, ice cream and other desserts, as well as pancakes, pork, poultry and seafood, in barbecue sauces and a variety of other recipes.
Fruit sauces are versatile products that can elevate a basic dish to something special—and they do so just by opening the jar, when one finds a sauce that's full of good fruit and a modicum of sugar. Unlike many dessert sauces that are sticky-sweet, with these sauces, you can make a gourmet dessert by spooning them onto something basic, or have the makings of a delicious entrée sauce recipe simply by mixing the contents of the jar with some onion, garlic and herbs. Plain cheesecake or pound cake becomes a deluxe cheesecake dessert, and you don't have to go scrambling for impressive dessert recipes on top of everything else you're cooking. Plain chicken becomes Chicken With Cherry Sauce.
The line is 100% natural: no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. All warm easily in the microwave.
RiverHouse Creations currently makes five sauces—three with sugar, two with no sugar added. The sugar varieties have a modest amount of sugar. As with all good artisan food, you taste the fruit, not the sweetener. Comparing the two cherry products, Triple Cherry Amaretto Sauce, with sugar, has 30 calories per two tablespoons, and 6g sugar; Tart Cherry Sauce, with no sugar added, has 15 calories and 1g sugar.
Banana Rum Caramel.
The sweetest of the lot, this popular dessert sauce combination—bananas, caramel, and rum with a touch of cinnamon—can be served with sautéed fresh bananas for a mock Bananas Foster. It's also wonderful on brownies, ice cream and pound cake. We admit to dipping gourmet marshmallows into it as well—a fun adult diversion with after-dinner coffee.
Suzette Grand Marnier Sauce.
This citrus sauce, sparkling with the flavors of orange, lemon and Grand Marnier, can be a dessert sauce or dress savory foods as a glaze for pork, poultry or seafood. Add it to the pan with onion or garlic and herbs. Check the recipes on their website for ideas; then do your own improvisations.
Triple Cherry Amaretto Sauce.
Whole red cherries (the tart Montmorency variety*) accented with Amaretto, floating in a light, tasty sauce. The most popular flavor, since everyone likes to see a cascade of bright, red cherries on ice cream, cheese cake, a chicken breast or a pork chop. They look (and taste) great on waffles and omelets too! If you need to keep one jar in the pantry to to make a last-minute impressive dish—no matter what the course—this is probably it.
*All cherries are divided into "tart" and "sweet" varieties. The Montmorency variety is not "tart" in the sour sense, as much as it has more complexity of flavor than "sweet" varieties like the Bing.
No Sugar Added Dessert Sauces
These sauces are a blessing for people who want a healthy dessert sauce or who like fruit sauce but not sweet stuff. It's also a nice product to have on hand for guests who can't have sugar: You can still offer them something special that works as a bread spread or a food topping.
There's no sugar added to either of these sauces, so the pure flavor of the fruit shines through. The flavor will appeal to many as is; but, the sauces can be sweetened to taste with sugar or calorie-free sweetener (i.e., if one member of the family or a guest can't have sugar). While no sugar is added to the recipes, there is sugar from the fruit itself.
* Tart Cherry
. Plump, whole tart cherries rest in a slightly-thickened, fresh tasting cherry sauce. As with the Triple Cherry Amaretto, the sauce is very light and flowing—no "red glop." Use it as you would use Triple Cherry Amaretto. There are 15 calories per two-tablespoon serving, 1g sugar.
* Pear Sauce With Lavender
. Ripe, juicy Northwest Bartlett pears are cooked into in a smooth sauce, lightly accented with lavender. There are 25 calories per two-tablespoon serving, 4g sugar.
Serving Suggestions & Recipes
Each bottle contains recipes and serving suggestions. There are recipes on the website, and your own creativity will guide you to many uses. Here are some of the obvious:
* At breakfast: Top pancakes, French toast, waffles, plain yogurt, sweet omelets and breakfast crepes; garnish fruit salad, hot or cold cereals.
* In sauces for entrées: Transform into barbecue sauce, orange sauce for fish, citrus, cherry and orange sauces and glazes for for poultry.
* For dessert: Use in the logical way—as dessert sauces for bread pudding, cake (cheesecake, pound cake and other cakes), custard, ice cream, sorbet and for dessert crepes.
Quick Dessert Recipe Ideas
* Top ladyfingers with your favorite flavor plus whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
* Fill tart shells or puff pastry with crčme anglaise and top with sauce.
* Fill tart shells with sauce and top with crčme fraîche or whipped cream.
* Cherry: on lady fingers or pound cake with whipped cream and shaved chocolate; in parfaits.
Two tablespoons for 25 calories doesn't break the bank—nor does four tablespoons. We always like finding a quality product with no sugar added siblings. Enjoy a fresh-tasting foray into fruit sauce.

"I'm Not That Woman"
It seems to me that there are a lot of assumptions made by the writer of a blog I found recently, Baggage Reclaim. I don't like some of her language -- for example, I dislike the idea of women having to negotiate our "value", because I think that idea plays into a lot of really terrible societal ideas about women in general -- e.g., that awful stereotype about how us women are all "manipulative gold-diggers" at heart.
However, I generally like her approach, which focuses on helping people get out of relationships where their needs aren't being met. And believe me, I'm all for encouraging people to get out of relationships where their needs aren't met! So it seems like she and I have very similar goals, but we're working within different paradigms.
Mostly, she seems to address women who feel pressured to act in ways that don't work for them because they're afraid of losing a man. Here's a post she recently wrote called Im Not That Woman: An Ode For Every Woman Who Has Loved, Lost and Forgotten Her Value:
Set your own standards and determine your own value. It doesnt matter what everyone else does it matters what you do. If everyone else has done it and its not exactly worked out for them, why repeat their relationship insanity? Its not about what other people are comfortable doing its about what youre comfortable doing and a lot of women spend their time doing stuff theyre uncomfortable with because theyre afraid that if they dont, theyll lose. Youre losing anyway. Never make it easy for someone not to have come up with the basics of love, care, trust, and respect in a relationship.youre not that woman.
I dont care if one thousand women have gone before me and theyve all had sex with you on the first night or whenever you chanced your arm for it -- Im not those women.
I have sex when I feel comfortable and if that time happens to be when I feel more confident about where I stand with you and the values, qualities, characteristics that you possess, youll have to deal with it, or go back and have sex with one of the women that make it easier for you.
I dont care if youre used to corresponding by texts and emails and every other woman has put up with it -- Im not those women.
I dont care if youre used to disappearing and then coming back with little or no hassle. If you disappear on me, youd better stay disappeared!
I dont care if your ex didnt mind if you wouldnt hold her hand in public and didnt mind that youre not affectionate -- I do mind.

Homesteading, Organic Gardening, How to Farm, Preparedness, Self-Reliance
The Happy Homesteader
To do anything that takes time and effort requires some form of inspiration and motivation. Take a job for instance. What could possibly cause a person to get up early, rush around to get chores done, leave before its full light, work for 10 or more hours a day away from home in a stressful job, rush home to spend a few hours with family and share a meal together, sleep for a few hours and repeat?
I often question what my real motive is to do all of that and then also trying to establish a self-sufficient homestead. Is it just a phase I am going through due to the downturn in the economy? Is it just a middle age thing, my way of dealing with getting older? There may be a little truth to both of those motives but I really think there is more to it than just a fad or a middle age diversion.
I have two small kids, 6 and 4. In my heart I want the best for them as every parent does. For some parents that means preparing their kids for college and advanced degrees from a very young age. It means saving and saving to be able to afford the best education possible and it usually means going into a lot of debt to pay for it. The sad thing about all of those plans is that only a very few people today are finding a meaningful career in the field that they went to college to prepare for. Many are not finding employment at all or are needing to settle for very low paying jobs. I recently heard that the next debt crisis will likely be based on the student loan debt due to lack of sufficient employment to pay back student loans. Who knows how that will play out but it is a concern for many people especially those with many thousands of dollars in school loan debt.
It seems to me that in the uncertain future that we face a simple debt free life will be the best way to live. Being able to provide for yourself and your family are the skills that I want to have and want to pass on to my children. We certainly are not the type of family that will move out into the middle of nowhere and live off grid despite all my begging and pleading. But we do intend to move very soon to a small rural area with a few acres to cultivate. Working now to pay off debt and to save up a significant down payment is my goal for the short term and having a small, maybe even micro, farm is my long term goal.
Its a strong motivation to have those goals but it is not really what is behind pushing me forward. Its my family, primarily my kids, that really inspires me to keep working hard to accomplish our plans. I hope to be able to teach them on a larger scale very soon how to grow and raise and prepare the foods they need. To be able to teach them how to support themselves doing something they love is also one of my biggest hopes and primary goals for the future so that even if they choose a different path they will know how important it is to do what you love. Teaching them to be self-sufficient and to lead a simple life seems to me and my wife to be the absolute best thing we can do for them in order for them to be truly happy as the grow up. That is what motivates and inspires us. How about you?
Thank you for this post. I am currently living the life you detailed in your first paragraph. While I am grateful that my husband and I have jobs, money isn't everything. Every day, every hour I think about how I want to be with my kids, how I would be so much happier OUTSIDE of the cubicle walls. Ironically, I spent a lot of my growing up years in a rural setting. I think it's because I know what I'm missing, that I'm so desperate to get back to it.
So of course I eventually found myself here on this wonderful site, with wonderful people like you making good blog posts. :) A few months ago I realized that in order to realize my dream of simpler, more family oriented living, I would need to make some changes. So we've begun. Recently we've revamped our budget (I can at least get the hubby on board with that!). I'm starting to learn about herbs, and gardening. I love listening to the Farm Dreams podcast because it's a rural happiness to aspire to. But like you, I don't necessarily need a ton of land and animals, but need to feel more self sufficient and have a home and a piece of land that, if the shtf, would sustain at least SOME of our basic needs. And I concur that teaching our children is vital. We need an heirloom skills bank! :)
Thank you again for the insightful post..and sorry about the ramblings. ;)

Here's how I selected my first bank, the one I've been with for decades: A branch was a few blocks from my first job and on the way to the bus stop.
I've gotten frustrated over the years with the customer service and the fees that kept adding up. I've threatened on numerous occasions to kick this big bank to the curb. But I haven't yet (service got better, fees dropped because of how my husband and I bank). But if I ever do think we need to change, it won't be because I was put off by the inconvenience of switching banks.

Donovan Basin (Hudson Bay Silver, Kell Mine, Thompson)
Size:9,264 ha (45 claims)
Target Minerals::Silver, Cobalt
- Several intersecting calcite veins up to 4 inches wide in Nipissing diabase.
- Kell drill hole AGKL07-08 intersected 2,401 g/t silver over 1.73m
Size:9,264 ha (45 claims)
Target Minerals::Silver, Cobalt
Property Geology:
The entire area of the Donovan Basin is underlain by flat lying Huronian sediments, in the western part by Gowganda Fm and in the eastern part by overlying Lorrain Fm. A thin sheet of diabase (quartz diabase) intrudes the sediment in the shape of a gently dipping (10 deg) basin. In the only place where the diabase is exposed, at the No. 3 shaft at the Hudson Bay mine in Leith Tp, it is 800 ft thick, which might be a maximum for the area.
Kell Silver Mine -- Corkill Twp:A 55 NW dipping 250'- thick limb of a quartz diabase sheet intrudes Lorrain quartzite. A strong fracture or calcite-quartz veins follow the lower contact over distance. Mineralized subsidiary veins contain silver and arsenides and sulphides. Calcite-quartz veins up to 18 inches wide.
Developed by an inclined shaft was sunk to 104 ft. Important pits were sunk on surface south of the inclined shaft and 700 feet to the north.
1,621 ozs of silver were recovered from the open cut south of the shaft.
Mag and VLF; in 2007 a diamond drilling program consisting of 2,270 m (7,447 ft) in 18 holes was conducted around the mine site.
The exploration program successfully identified areas of silver enrichment along the Kell Mine deformation zone, with drill hole AGKL07-08 returning 2,401 g/t silver over 1.73m, from 36.72m to 38.45m down hole. The silver is hosted in a quartz-calcite-chlorite vein zone in altered diabase, where silver is found in both veining and wall rock. The intersection returned a higher-grade sample of 4,580.4 g/t silver over 0.53m, from 36.72 to 37.25 as well as 3.574.5 g/t silver over 0.40m from 37.25m to 37.65m.Drilling also intersected 262 g/t silver, over 8.63m in drill hole AGKL07-04, from 57.54m to 66.17m down hole.
Thompson -- Donovan Twp:
Several intersecting calcite veins up to 4 inches wide in Nipissing diabase.
Developed in 30-ft shaft and 17 shallow drill holes (1951-1956); assays up to 2,000 oz/t Ag and 5% Co reported.
Hudson Bay Silver Mines Ltd. (Rustex) -- Leith Tp.
A Nipissing diabase sheet dips 5 SW. A shear zone with a vein system strikes NNE for 800 m, containing narrow calcite veins with ore shoots up to 30m near their intersection with transverse veins; calcite up to 16 inches wide.
Developed by two inclined and two vertical shafts over interval of 400m 1910-1913.
Production : 80,186 ozs Ag and 365 lbs cobalt. Grade averages 20 oz/t silver. Surface stockpiles and UG broken ore reserves reported 10,400 tons grading 12.2 ozs silver in 1967.
Work Completed to Date:
Kell Silver Mine-Mag and VLF; diamond drilling (above)
Thompson -- Mag and VLF
Hudson Bay -- Prospecting survey

St Andrew's Healthcare chair to face MPs on CEO pay

The High Court yesterday heard evidence from the Badger Trust for the judicial review, brought by the charity, into the government's decision to cull badgers.
The case is being heard before Mr Justice Ouseley and the court will continue to hear evidence today, with a decision expected in the next few weeks.
Jack Reedy, spokesman for the Badger Trust, told civilsociety.co.uk that the case could cost the charity "at least £100,000" in legal fees.
Chairman of the Badger Trust David Williams said: "We stand alone in initiating this action and raising funds for it."
The Trust is funded by contributions from local badger groups as well as donations from members of the public. In its last financial year (January 2011 to December 2011) it had an income of £120,000, according to accounts filed with the Charity Commission.
He added: "The Trust acts on behalf of local badger groups across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and we see it as our duty to use all legal means of persuasion and scientific argument to overturn this decision which risks making a bad situation even worse."
The Badger Trust is asking the court to overturn the Secretary of State for Environment and Rural Affairs, Caroline Spelman's decision to authorise the culling of badgers, on the grounds that it is legally flawed.
Trust solicitor, Gwendolen Morgan of Bindmans LLP, said: "First, the proposed badger cull will cause rather than prevent disease in cattle. This fails the legal test for licensing.
"Second, in terms of its cost-benefit analysis, Defra made a decision on basis A, when in reality the plan may well be rolled out on basis B. As a matter of public law, that is unlawful. Finally, the guidance to Natural England is legally flawed."
The cost/impact assessment carried out by Defra was only based on the farmer free-shooting option and did not allow for the possibility that this may be ruled out for being inhumane, meaning that farmers would be obliged to use the more costly method of trap and shoot.
It argues that because killing badgers was not one of Natural England's original functions, and that under section 10(2)(a) of the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, responsibility for culling badgers is the responsibility of the Secretary of State.
A judicial review of a similar decision to cull badgers by the Welsh Assembly Government in 2010 found in favour of the charity and in March 2012 the Assembly announced it would vaccinate all badgers.
Defra announced in December 2011 that it would authorise Natural England to issue licenses to cull badgers to tackle bovine tuberculosis. The Badger Trust announced its decision to take legal action in February was granted a the judicial revue in April 2012.
A Defra spokeswoman said the government could not comment on the court case but that: "Bovine TB is a chronic and devastating disease. It forced the slaughter of 25,000 cattle in 2010 alone, and is taking a terrible toll on our farmers and rural communities.
"Nobody wants to cull badgers. But no country in the world where wildlife carries TB has eradicated the disease in cattle without tackling it in wildlife too. We are investing in the development of usable vaccines but sadly these are still years away, and we have to take action now.
"Unless TB is effectively dealt with it will cost taxpayers around £1bn over the next ten years."
Patricia & Nigel Hall

Defra keep rolling out the same old chestnut. This government seems obsessed with destroying Britain's wildlife. Caroline Spelman and James Paice (Cameron's chosen Defra ministers) continually state that 25,000 cattle are killed every year because of bTB. However, this number pales into insignificance when compared to the numbers slaughtered through infertility, mastitis and lameness. Defra have not listened to the science which clearly and independently states that culling badgers could make matters worse. Many farmers are continuing to ignore the advice given to them by the Independent Scientific Group. But many farmers are also against the cull. We applaud the Welsh Government for opting for vaccination which also disproves Spelman's remark about vaccine not being available.

Unless TB is " EFFECTIVELY " dealt with,will cost £1bn over 10 years. The vital word is " EFFECTIVELY ". A cull or masacre over 10 years is accepted by all sides to only reduce TB by about 15%. That means that in 10 years,
after the death of thousands of badgers, the TB problem will still be 85% as bad as it is now. What a waste of life, time, resources. It can be compared with the futile and cruel waste of life, fighting in the trenches in World War 1 !
Vaccination is humane, scientific and ACCURATE, unlike blasting with guns and the inevitable badgers who will get wounded and will either die in agony or spread TB by pertubation.If a fox,dog or cat eats the dying badger, they may become the new vectors of TB.Along with vaccination, farmers need to tighten biosecurity,shop those breaking the rules and be checked they worm against liver fluke.
27 Jun 2012
DEFRA is INCORRECT that "no country in the world where wildlife carries TB has eradicated the disease in cattle without tackling it in wildlife too."
SCOTLAND is such a country - as DEFRA must know. Scotland is Eu-certified as bovine-TB free and has NEVER culled (= killed) a single badger.
Testing regimes are much stricter in Scotland than in England and biosecurity is also very much better.
Graham Shepherd
27 Jun 2012
Why is Defra still saying that we need a usable vaccine?
We have got one already in use on badgers by the Welsh government, National Trust, various wildlife organisations and Badger Trust.
Why does Defra always open with a statement about how serious is the disease as though that is proof that a cull will help significantly. The truth is that it could reduce cattle TB by up to 16% over 9 years.
It is the Yes Minister syndrome.

Krenkel family at Glasco
Thanks for the great photos. I've corrected the spelling of the last name to match; the cemetery books and the Glasco newspaper used -el and -le interchangeably. Hope you got my message about Phillip Hayes Krenkel --- he seems to be the exception, according to his marker, but I changed his spelling, too, to match the rest of the family.

Delta 100 in rodinal.greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread |
Hi guy and galls. Yesterday I had to shoot some films and I got carried away a little bit. I shot 2 delta 100 on 100 iso, but I dont have the reference sheet of the rodinal I have, so I dont know how long to process it. The I shot another on 200 and another on 800 (where I got a little carried away) if any one knows the times for procesing the films Iwould really apreciate this. I dont usually use rodinal, but I need to develope this films in a hurry, and that the onyl thing I have around the house at the moment. thanks in advance. Diego K.
-- Diego K. (email@example.com), March 17, 2000
Look here:http://www.migol.dircon.co.uk/photo/chart/tables/dlt100.html
For push processing, looks like Xtol. Good luck. You may end up with some less-than-great negatives.
-- Paul Harris (email@example.com), March 17, 2000.
Practical Photography had an article about the quality of various films in various developers. Delta films in Rodinal didn't fare very well; they were much better developed in ID-11 or Ilfotec DD-X. (XTOL wasn't tested, unfortunately.) I realize this was a one-shot deal but you might want to look at a developer like DD-X for push processing, as it's especially good for it.
-- Jim MacKenzie (firstname.lastname@example.com), March 17, 2000.
Thanks guys, this site you directed me to, is really impresive. Since I dont have time to go and buy some adecuate so it will have to be rodinal, anyway I hope to have a moment tomorow to develope it and confirm the so-so resutls.thanks again. Diego K.

The amazing thing about the short-lived sketch comedy The Dana Carvey Show isn't that it was canceled after just seven episodes on the air; it's that it made it to the air at all. Debuting in ABC's prime time lineup in the summer of 1996, The Dana Carvey Show was just too offbeat and edgy to ever survive -- particularly on one of the "big three" networks. America just wasn't ready for the the series had to offer.
Thanks to the good people at Shout! Factory (no joke; I just can't say enough good things about Shout! Factory), The Dana Carvey Show is finally getting its due a full 13 years after its abrupt cancellation. It's actually sort of amazing that it took that long, given the fact that the show now plays like a "who's who" of comedy: in addition to Carvey (the only real name on the show at the time), the ensemble included future stars Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Robert Smigel and boasted a writing staff that included Louis C.K. and future Oscar winner Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), plus additional material contributed by The Office's Greg Daniels and Bob Odenkirk of Mr. Show with Bob and David. Those are some names with edgy sensibilities, and their comic voices are all over The Dana Carvey Show.
From the names of each episode (poking fun at the sponsor, Pepsico, each week; each show bared names like The Taco Bell Dana Carvey Show or The Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show) to sketches including President Clinton breastfeeding puppies or the first-ever appearances of Smigel's "Ambiguously Gay Duo" cartoons (which would eventually become a hit on Saturday Night Live), there was very little that was mass-audience friendly on The Dana Carvey Show. Credit to Carvey -- who is actually the least funny part of his own sketch show -- for putting his then very marketable name on a show that was this challenging and subversive, and for giving a start to so many important names in contemporary comedy. Not every sketch is a winner, particularly after 13 years; there are a number of sketches built around the Clinton/Dole presidential race that don't hold up particularly well. But the better, timeless sketches -- such as Carell and Carvey as "Germans Saying Nice Things" ("Mr. Holland's Opus is ze feel good moo-vie of ze year!!") -- are some of the best sketch comedy of the 1990s. There's almost no way it could have succeeded, and it's actually probably better that it didnt'. In its cancellation, The Dana Carvey Show instantly achieved cult classic status.
Shout! Factory does well by The Dana Carvey Show, presenting all eight episodes (the seven that originally aired plus one that never did) on two discs. There's a good collection of deleted scenes -- most of them too racy or edgy for TV -- and a 20 minute interview with Carvey and Smigel where they discuss what was great about the show and share their experiences with a network that never understood what they had on their hands. Given the sheer number of famous names involved with the show, it's too bad that other stars like Colbert, Carell or C.K. aren't involved with any of the supplements. All the same, it's the show itself that's the real value here, and the fact that it's seeing the light of day on DVD at all is reason to celebrate.

Hatch: Obama might attack Romney on Mormon faith
Reader Comments
Hatch is a Mormon attempting to run interference for Romney. It is not Obama he needs to worry about....it is the rednecks that want to see Obama lose....but can't see themselves voting for a Mormon. That is one of the disavantages of the drawn-out Republican primary. Gingrich and Santorum got in some licks that will hurt during the election.
Why would Obama have to attack Romney's faith when there are so many other good reasons to attack him. Here's a few:
Romney will only be an establishment puppet
He is a notorious flip-flopper
He has NO plan (his 59 point plan is NOT a real plan)
He doesn't balance the budget in our lifetime
His so-called business credentials are NOT very good
He is boring and robotic, and has a 34% approval rating
He will not get the support of Ron Paul's supporters, therefore he CAN NOT win
He is just nowhere near presidential material
He will be "easily" beaten by Obama if he should somehow win the nomination, but he won't!
This guy is a joke. How much further are we as a nation going to lower our standards to allow an idiot like this to be a candidate for President?

Transcript of interview with Dr. Horace R. Hicks, conducted September 14, 1982 by Akida T. Mensah.
This is a tape interview with Dr. Horace R. Hicks of 605 W. Nine Mile Road. Dr. Hicks lived for a while in the Church Hill area at 23rd and Leigh andhas agreed to share his remembrances of the CCA Ball Park and the people who played a major part in organizing athletics in the Church Hill area. This interview is being conducted by Akida T. Mensah on September 14, 1982. Furthermore, the interview is being conducted in the office of Dr. Hicks.
I = Interviewer
N = Narrator
I - Dr. Hicks, where were you born?
N - Born in Richmond, Virginia.
I - And when was this?
N - November 17, 1903.
I - And who were your parents?
N - My father's name was Roe Pug Hicks; my mother's name was Irene Moore Tinsel.
I - And where did you live sir?
N - I lived at 512 N. 23rd Street.
I - About how long did you live there?
N - Oh, maybe 10 years.
I - What schools did you attend?
N - Attended the old Bellevue School over on Broad Street. I started grade school; my teacher was Mrs. Snider, Mrs. Snider taught us 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades.
I - Do you remember the principal that was there at the time?
N - Ernest Showning.
I - Were many of the teachers or the principal residents of Church Hill.
N -Most all of them lived on Church Hill. From there I went over to the Bellevue Junior School, that was old Mrs. VanLew, who was a northern spy. She was supposed to have had a tunnel leading to the James River in order to get rid of a lot of prisoners of the Confederacy. From there I went to John Marshall High School which then was located up on Marshall Street next to the John Marshall Home. Home of the Supreme Court Justice. From there I went to William and Mary in 1920, graduated W&M in 1924 from there I went to the Medical College of Virginia and graduated in Medicine in 1928
I - And then you set up practice?
N - Then I went to West Virginia and stayed in West Virginia for 5 years and I came back to Virginia and located here in Highland Springs. I was a professional baseball player, I played baseball on the old Mayo Island with the Richmond Colts, I was a shortstop. I played four years while I was going to the MCV. I coached basketball and baseball at the MCV in 1924 - 1928. I coached Benedictine High School basketball in 1928. I have been the senior PGA Champion of Virginia twice, 1952 & 1954.
I - Very good. How did you get started in your athletic career?
N - My father was a professional baseball manager and player.
I - What team did he play for?
N - Well he played for Greensboro, N.C. and he also played for the Richmond,the ball club in Richmond, He played with Lynchburg back in the Federal League. So it was quite natural that I become a baseball fan.
I - In our telephone conversation we talked about the old CCA ball park and your association with that, could you . . . ?
N - Well I think, to go back a little bit, on 22nd and Venable Street was located Christ church Episcopal Church. It had a minister by the name of Dr. Eagle. Dr. Eagle was quite an athlete and he played baseball along with the Church Hill boys. And he also had a gymnasium in the basement of that church where they had horses and setting up exercises where the pulleys were the weights, basketball court. And he kept the gym quite busy with the boys in the neighborhood. Now from that church they started with Dr. William H. Parker whose name is on Parker Field over in Richmond. Dr. Parker was quite a sportsman himself, he was a general practioner of medicine and a loveable person.
I - Was he from Church Hill, Dr. Parker?
N -Yes, he had an office at 23rd and Broad Street on Church Hill.
I -To your knowledge did he also live in Church Hill?
N - Yes, he lived at 23rd and Broad Street. He owned and operated the CHAC which was the Church Hill Athletic Club. And it played on that field over there in Fairmont which at that time had no fence or no clubhouse, but Dr. Parker was instrumental in raising enough money to build a club house and put a fence around that park.
I - Did you participate in the building of the fence?
N - I had nothing to do with that, I was a baseball player. I worked with Dr. Parker after I graduated in medicine for about a year. He was a very loveable man and he deserved to have his name put on the Parker Field out there. Going back a little farther, when I was a young boy on Church Hill just before I was born, Jefferson Avenue was a gulley, about 10 - 12 feet deep. Of course they filled it up and they put the street car down Jefferson Avenue. Old man Greene and his two sons run a woodyard at 23rd and Jefferson. Probably most people wont know that, but old timers will. Mr. Perrin operated a delicatessen and little store, right there at 23rd and Jefferson. Mr. Perrin lived right across the street on the same side. I remember Mr. Cutie, lived over there, Mr. Backalery lived there on Church Hill next to me. My parents moved from 512 N. 23rd Street to 2312 Venable Street. I was probably 14 or 15 years old.
I - Do you remember the Earlys, where the House of Happiness is?
N- Right there as I recall was a boy's club in that very building. Most of the boys around Church Hill attended that place over there. I don't remember the name of the operator, I've forgotten him. But I do remember a Mr. Towser who came to Richmond from North Carolina, a single man about 40 years old about 5'6" tall and had a limp in one leg. I imagine he had polio when he was young. He got all the boys in the neighborhood up until they were 16 years old, anywhere from 5 - 16. And he had them all competing against one another. They would run 25-yard or 50-yard dash, broad jump, high jump, played basketball, how many basketballs you could make and he gave prizes. He would go around town and collect the money from individuals thru donated money so he could make prizes and the prize consisted of medals. First prize was a gold medal; 2nd was silver; 3rd was a bronze.Many, many boys won those medals during his time over there. Mr. Towser lived on that field in a tent.
I - Before you started talking about that I asking, there was a George Howard of course he lived many years ago, back in 1870's who built a home that Mrs. Scott talks about in her book, Old Richmond Neighborhoods, and he had a daughter who married Mr. Early and they sold yeast cakes from that residence and I was just wondering if you remembered it being there. I think they tore the house down in 1923 or 1930. But it was supposed to have been right there where the house of happiness is now on Venable.
N - As I recall, that House of Happiness was a boy's club. I think one of the funniest of all the things that impressed me when I was a young boy was when ever they had a funeral they would start from the home where ever the individual died and they would come up Jefferson Avenue and they would have a band, and they were a-hollering and a-screaming and going to the cemetery. And we boys used to enjoy very much.
I - What cemetery would they be going?
N- I think they was going out towards Oakwood. But we used to sit around and laugh like its nobody business. And they had the casket sitting on an open truck, drawn by two horses. The other thing that I remember coming down Jefferson avenue was these farmers out of Hanover. They had a two wheel vehicle and a white canvass top over it and a mule drawing it. And the farmer would have his produce inside that camper; and he'd lay back there and go to sleep and there were 7 - 8 of them lined up coming down Jefferson Ave. away from Hanover going to market down on 17th Street. Those farmers could go to sleep at home and those mules were so educated that they could drag that cart all the way cross Richmond down to the market and pull up in the same identical spot every time. When a man would wake up . . . . We boys had a lot of fun with them. We'd catch one that was sleep and sometines they would bring right good watermelons. So we called it rolling the watermelons, so we would jump up on the back and roll a watermelon out of that truck. Take overthere and break it up and eat it.
I - So in your early life the Dr. Parker, and Mr. Towser somewhat in addition to your father's influence, influenced your athletic interest.
N - That's right. I've got a picture of John Marshall High School in 1920. We were the state champions.
I - This was in baseball?
N - No, basketball.
I - The time will arrive and hopefully very soon that we would want to take some pictures of some of these scenes and when we get it together we would like to maybe get a copy of that picture and if you have others.
N - I a lot of pictures in my home. Baseball teams and basketball teams that I have played on.
I - We have talked some about your early childhood and your involvement in athletics and some of the people who influenced you as far as athletics is concerned. Could you give us the name of some of the players on some of the teams.
N - Yes, on the original Church Hill athletic clubs teams: Billy Hay was the catcher and Bill Worton was the first baseman, Tuggy Stuart was a second baseman, I played shortstop. Outfield was Harry Carter, Buck Chewning, Claude Woodard, was therefore the mayor of Richmond. Pitching we had Joe Bowling, who was back from Washington in the big league, ox Marshallwho came here from W&M, Kurt Thompson who came here from Lynchburg College.
I - Did we name the 3rd baseman?
N - Charlie Whitmore, played 3rd base. So this was one of the first teams and Dr. Parker of course was the on line operator. Bingo Evans was themanager of that first ball club.
I - Did Bingo Evans live in Church Hill?
N - All these people lived on Church Hill at that time.
I - Dr. Parker has got quite a bit of recognition thru the Parker Field being named in his honor, do you know whether there are relatives of his still alive or whether they would be...?
N - They all gone I think. Dr. Parker had one son. Willard, where Willard is, I have no idea.
I - Would you have a picture of Dr. Parker or..?
N - I have a picture, yes.
I - That I am sure will be of great interest to people we are trying to reach. Is there anything else you can remember about Dr. Parker, you know his character or . . . ?
N - Dr. Parker was not only a general practitioner of medicine but he was a company doctor for Lucky Strike.
I - You were telling me about your golf trophies and I would like to hear morea bout it?
N - I don't want to be bragging. I didn't play in any golf tournaments unti lafter I was through playing professional baseball. I've been the senior champion out at Hermitage Country Club, played in the final out there Championship of the Country Club of VA and Hermitage Country Club all in the same year. I got defeated in both of them. I won the PGA Championship in Stanton in 1952. I won that up in the valley at the old hotel up there. Hot Springs.
I -You have quite an interesting array of trophies up there.
N - This one middle trophy up there was a doctor's tournament and they put that trophy out and they said that in order to keep it you had to win three straight years in a row. And I won it three straight years in a row and kept it.
I -What about your family?
N - I have been married twice. My first wife died and I have one son by that marriage and he is 50 years old.
I -W as he interested in athletics?
N - Yes, he played baseball, golf. Yankees took him to training one year, then they farmed him out to a team down in N.C. Then he got disgusted with it and quit and wouldn't play no more. I been married a second time, I married a girl who is 30 years younger than I am. She is a graduate nurse from Grace Hospital in Richmond and we have five children by that marriage The oldest one is just finished Hampden Sydney College. He's selling insurance down in Norfolk, the girl is 23, she just finished Sweet Briar, and I still have one son 17; he participated in football over at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover County.
I - What position does he play?
N - He plays on the kick-off team.
I - Was your second wife from Richmond?
N - Naw, my second wife, Caroline, is from Craigsville, Virgina that's up on the other side of Staunton.
I - So your practice here, do you get to see or did you get to see many of the people that you knew in Church Hill ... ?
N - Oh yea, sure, of course. I delivered over 2500 babies in my lifetime as a doctor.
I - Did you find, you set up practice here and in Highland Springs which isn't that far from Church Hill when you think of how much people move around, did you find many of the people that you knew in Church Hill moving to this area or ... ?
N - Yes indeed. Most of the people in this area down here now came from Church Hill and they worked over in Richmond in the tobacco factory, in other words, this community down here is dependent upon the tobacco industry over there for their livelihood. If anything happened to the tobacco factories over there, this place would go dead real quick.
I - I can remember the L. M. Gunn had a used car lot down on Nine Mile Road and I think they finally moved down here. A couple of years ago I think I met the son of the original owner.
N - You know back in the old days we used to say any man as soon as he got a good position and made a little money he automatically moved out on Monument Avenue or out on the Boulevard. And that took care of most of guys that were born on Church Hill by moving out. Then when desegration came along every white person that could get out of Church Hill moved. And that left all there was that didn't have enough money to move.
I - I wanted to ask you a question, you mentioned those funerals going down Jefferson Avenue, I've talked to black families who talked about coming down were these blacks, because I have talked.
N - I used to go down on Government Road on Sunday morning and the preachers, the colored preachers were having the colored women all dressed in white and they were baptising them. They would take them out in Gillies Creek down there, and the preacher would get a dozen and bring them up. And I remember seeing them screaming and a hollering. We boys thought that was the funniest thing we ever saw.
I - It seems that was a pretty popular area for that kind of thing. In your growing up in Church Hill was there any significant contact with blacks.
N -We always figured that were spots, the blacks lived in certain. In other ords in Carrington Street right off Venable Street that was almost all colored thru there in the old days. And we used to rock battle. The white boys stand up on the corner where Springer Drug Co. was and throw rocks down to Carrington Street and they throw rocks back up at this ways.
I - I was reading Virginia Dabney's book. It seemed rock battles was the thing in Richmond for many years. There was a group that lived in Jefferson Park area that used to battle the group from down around 17th Street or n that area and in talking to the older people, what you are saying is typical.
N Nobody ever got hurt. They were eager to see who could holler the loudest and back up. I want to tell you one other thing. Over at St. John's Church the preacher was named Hugh Sublett; Dr. Sublett lived in Fairmont and Dr. Sublett would ride his bicycle every morning between 8 - 9 o'clock down 23rd Street and peddle up to Broad Street going to his church. And every afternoon along bout 4 - 5 - 6 - o'clock, Dr. Sublett would be riding back home on that bicycle.
I -And you say he was the pastor at St. John?
N -Yea, Dr. Hugh Sublett.
I -So a great many of the people during your childhood and growing up lived right in the Church Hill Community.
N - Oh sure. Like I said they all lived over there. Church Hill was the original part of Richmond. As people got wealthy and got a little bit of [Transcript ends here.]

MSU Creates New Recruitment Program
Murray State is experiencing "sluggishness" when it comes to regional enrollment. That's according to an email sent by Provost and Vice-president of Academic Affairs Jay Morgan to University staff and faculty yesterday.
To address the issue the University is starting a program called Racer RoundUp to target more students in its service region.
That region consists of just over 30 high schools in western Kentucky and Tennessee. The initiative creates recruitment teams made up of faculty and staff who work with University administrators to visit area schools and host high school students on campus.
Morgan says the program is similar to a previous recruiting program called the Roads Scholar Program. He says recruiters won't receive a pay raise for their efforts. But they can expect to see a yearly stipend and service credit.

Project Overview
Full Title: Enhancing the Financial Economic and Sustainable Yield from Tourism
Project Leader: Professor David Simmons
New Report: Summary on Yield-Relevant Tourism Decision Making Report - view here. For the full report scroll to bottom of page.
Who are the 'high yielding' visitors to New Zealand? An answer to this question is central to the New Zealand Tourism Strategy. To date a research contribution from the NZ Tourism Strategy implementation fund has enabled considerable advancement of sector benchmarks which will result in the development of tools for enhancing tourism yield (see past project: Yield Reports).
During the course of this research, which has focussed largely on supply (business) dimensions, crucial new research questions have emerged. The hypothesis that now requires testing is that an integrated demand side perspective, as manifest in tourist expenditure and activity patterns (itineraries), allows additional, effective growth of yield per visitor.
The proposed research is able to draw on previous and current research investments. The aim of the proposed programme is to integrate earlier research into yield and spatial behaviour, along with refined and disaggregated measures of tourist activity, time and expenditure budgets, and then simulate tourist decision making via agent based modelling.
Lincoln University's tourism research and education centre has won a contract from the Foundation for Research Science Technology (FRST), to carry forward research into tourism yield by examining the travel expenditure and activity patterns of tourists.
The "spatial yield" programme aims to improve the financial yield per visitor by developing a model for identifying the spending patterns of various types of tourists and itineraries, so that new tourism products and interventions can be developed.
Programme Summary Statement (from FRST application)Yield growth is a key goal for the New Zealand Tourism Strategy and is FRST's priority goal for its investment in tourism research. Improving public and private sector engagement in tourism and increasing Māori relevant research and research capacity are secondary goals. This programme addresses all of these.
The research will examine growing tourism yield from a demand side perspective. We hypothesise that it is possible to identify which tourists (and their itineraries) generate different yield outcomes. This knowledge will enable product, policy and marketing interventions with the potential to grow yield per visitor. We will achieve this by developing refined and disaggregated measures of tourist activity, time and expenditure budgets; integrating these outputs from a supply side analysis of tourism yields, and then simulating tourist decision making via agent based modelling for scenario analyses.
This work will inform a new sector model of tourist decision making which will allow interactive exploration of high yield tourism outcomes. Model outputs can include tourist types, itinerary types and policy, planning and product development interventions. While applicable at the national (itinerary) level, the model will also be tested in two regional contexts, where its outcomes can contribute to regional and Māori socio-economic development.
The outcome of this research will be growth in yield per visitor through policy and planning shifts among lead tourism public and private sector agencies. The Ministry of Tourism and Local Government New Zealand will use the model to develop policies for national and local tourism planning and management. The Tourism Industry Association NZ will use the model to identify high yielding segments and products for the tourism industry and communicate ways to develop these to its members. The output model will be used by Tourism NZ to inform the future marketing and promotion of high-yield tourist itineraries, including country of origin metrics, and high yield product developments.
The research team has extensive expertise in researching: tourism systems and planning (Simmons), yield, modelling and information systems (Smallman, Doscher, Forer) and tourist behaviour (Moore, Becken). The programme builds New Zealand's tourism research skills base through involvement of a new researcher (Smallman) and the new computational and modelling skills he brings with him. Two PhDs will be completed in the programme and significant opportunities have been created for Māori research capacity development.
The research leaders already work closely with national and regional stakeholders and their current supply focused yield research is informing a review of the national tourism strategy. The project will be overseen by an advisory group comprising representatives from the Ministry of Tourism, Tourism Association NZ, the Department of Conservation, Local Government NZ, Destination Fiordland, the New Zealand Māori Tourism Council and Ngai Tahu Tourism. Tourism NZ has signalled its willingness to engage with researchers once bid outcomes are known.
Advisory Board members have agreed to annual workshops and detailed inputs into shaping the analytical pathways at key stages (tourist types, tourist decision 'rules', and scenario analyses) in the research processes. These relationships and structures underscore the pathways to optimise research uptake and implementation.
A special characteristic of our programme comprises a contribution to Māori tourism development underpinned by a carefully prepared programme of Māori research capacity building via the University's relationship with Ngai Tahu.
Programme StructureThe research programme is arranged in three Objectives: (refer diagram 1: app 1)1. Determine current patterns of tourist itineraries, and analyse these along spatial and temporal dimensions to identify opportunities for yield enhancement (e.g. Information provision, destination sequencing, product and itinerary gap analyses).
Report Date: August 2008.A report on itinerary and tourist yield prototypes, including gap analysis for identification of improvements in yield metrics (opportunities for product development, information distribution, and cost recoveries) presented to the sector policy, management and marketing agencies.
This component of the programme is assessed as low risk because data already collected and computational pathways already piloted. Supply side yield metrics have recently been determined (Moriarty et al, 2007).
2. Develop in-depth understanding of tourist decision making processes, with emphases on understanding itinerary, activity and expenditure choices.
Report Date: June 2009.A report on tourist decision making sequence, process and identification of major decision making constraints in itinerary formation (for efficiencies in marketing and information service provision) made available to regional marketing, management and policy agencies, and through the TIA to business proprietors.
For this component there is risk associated with primary data collection, specifically concerning the willingness of visitors to engage and the accuracy of their recall of their daily activity and expenditures. It would possible to sample visitors once visitor types are known, but this brings with it the additional risk of creating a methodological tautology –i.e. sampling within visitor types to ultimately determine (similar) visitor types. Consequently, we do not favour this approach. However, risk is mitigated through the research team's considerable experience in work of this nature. We are confident of formulating approaches based on interviews along itinerary interventions which will ensure the required level of accuracy.
3. Develop an agent-based simulation of tourist decision making Model
Date: November, 2010. Verified simulation of tourist decision-making model.This is new science with relatively high risk. The modeling of intelligent agents (tourists) during highly discretionary activities (travel patterns and activities) is the most challenging component of the programme in that it seeks to take behavioural models and apply them to highly discretionary tourist behaviour. Risks introduced by this approach will be managed through ongoing involvement of the advisory board and development and release of pragmatic outcomes as model development progresses.
Project Management The programme will be led by Prof Simmons, who will also lead Obj 3. and sector communication. Obj.1 will be led by Assoc Prof Becken and Obj. 2 will be led by Dr. Moore. The development of the agent based model (Obj 3) will be a collective exercise between researchers and stakeholders and will led by Prof Simmons with the assistance of Prof Smallman who has recently brought to New Zealand considerable expertise in project management and systems modelling.

For what it's worth dept: There are almost 7 times more posts in the Will Barton eligility story than there are here.
We had been forwarned by WWH that there were going to be irregularities before the election and, sure enough, here they come.
I'm wondering if he has something to do with it. Did his supporters throw the proverbial monkey wrench into the election?
BTW, do you really think there is an orchestrated attempt by Republicans to "steal" the election? Are Democrats above that type of behavior.
Personally, I'm tired of the constant bellyaching and partisanship of those leather-lunged Democrats who find a gremlin around every corner. They have forced the Republicans to respond in kind and we no longer have a kinder, gentler nation. We are pretty near as balkanized as Soviet eastern Europe.
