Hello? Back here in the back, behind all of the commotion about the NCAA tournament and the Big East? Yes, I have a question.
Was this Greg McDermott's best coaching job?
First, the season's not over. But Creighton is 27-7 and won the outright Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title and the league tourney. The Jays won the league tournament as the No. 1 seed for the first time since 1991.
But McDermott doesn't get a lot of credit for that. Which is part of the deal. They were supposed to do all of that. They were picked to win the league, and Mac himself set the bar high, striving to make the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tourney.
Wichita State's Gregg Marshall won league coach of the year, and he did a superb job with a rebuilt team. Coaches who are picked to win and win are just doing what they're supposed to do.
There's still the NCAA tourney. A lot of people around Creighton will probably allow that McDermott did a heck of a job if he gets that Sweet 16. Anything less and he probably blew it. Which, if you think about it, is kind of crazy.
This isn't about appreciation or credit or accolades. McDermott is paid — and paid well — to win big at Creighton, fill the arena, recruit good players and make sure they graduate. Not always, but usually, in that order.
I don't know if it's Mac's best coaching job. It was certainly the most challenging season he's coached. It wasn't easy, not when trophies bring relief as much as they do celebration.
"I think one of the hardest things to do in sports is do what you're supposed to do," McDermott said two weeks ago in St. Louis. He was giving credit to his players, but he could have been talking about himself.
It's not over yet, but Doug McDermott's junior year has been historic. Take a look back at a season for the ages. |
The problem is, his team can make it look so easy.
When the Jays are hitting every shot, and the All-American is playing like an All-American, and the unpredictable center is playing with fury, and all cylinders are on, it looks like they don't need a coach so much as a conductor.
When the Jays are rolling offensively, they are a sight to behold. They put up 84 on Wisconsin. That still might be the most amazing stat of the season.
He had an All-American. He had what people called great talent. There were opposing coaches calling this "a team of a lifetime."
But really, how talented was this bunch? Other than Doug McDermott?
Senior Grant Gibbs is limited physically, with a body damaged by injuries, and relies on guts and basketball IQ. He's a good player, a glue guy, a terrific passer. A great role player.
Senior center Gregory Echenique became a tour de force in St. Louis, blocking everything but the Arch and looking like an NBA prospect. But for most of the season, the Big E faded in and out of foul trouble and was inconsistent.
Mac had two huge holes to fill. One left by graduated point guard Antoine Young. The other by senior Josh Jones, an instant offense guy off the bench, an energy guy the team relied on. He retired in mid-December to take care of his heart condition.
So there was a new point guard, sophomore Austin Chatman, who was taking over the team's key position. Try to win 27 with a first-year point guard. It's not easy.
There was sharp-shooting Ethan Wragge, who was mostly reliable but could go through cold spells. Jahenns Manigat, who could hit a 3 or guard the other guy's leading scorer. Avery Dingman and Will Artino, who came off the bench to spell starters mostly.

Superstar. Glue guy. New point guard. Inconsistent big man. Role players.
And they played with a target, with expectations in Omaha as heavy as a piano and a world in which fans can enter the locker room and a player's head via social media.
They won both championships, rallied from a February slump. Won 27.
The captain of the ship kept the vessel steady. You might call it managing. It's called coaching, too.
"You're everybody's big game," CU Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen said. "We didn't play as well as we liked all the time. We had injuries, Grant Gibbs was beat up. We lost Josh.
"There were some ups and downs, but the thing Coach did was he was consistent. It was one of the things I've always said about Tom Osborne — you knew what you were getting every day. When things were really up or really down, he never changed. The kids feed off that. They needed a steady hand."
He was the same guy who started 17-1, won the Vegas tourney, beat St. Joe's and Akron and Cal.
He was the same guy who some fans were howling about during a three-game losing streak in February. The players were burned out. Mac had ridden them too hard. Couldn't get Doug the ball. Couldn't adjust at halftime. Couldn't find other ways to score when the 3s weren't falling. Didn't he always do this in February?
The problem was that some of us forgot, or didn't allow, that a team built on perimeter shooting wouldn't always light it up. That teams would smother Doug and the new point guard and make the role players and the inconsistent center beat 'em.
Join the conversation on the Bluejays Today Facebook page. |
Now, Mac didn't have a lot of other options. But keeping it real, keeping it steady, was the smart play, too. Keep shooting. Eventually the shots did fall. And Doug did get open.
"It was a classic lull in a season," said Nick Bahe, Creighton's radio analyst and a former Jay. "And I'm sure Coach would like to have some things back during some games. Everyone has that.
"This team was made up of specific parts that were designed to come together as a team. During that stretch, other teams weren't letting us use those parts. You really just had to stay the course and get something to work.
"There's a huge misconception that coaching is all about X's and O's, when a lot of what you're doing is managing the team, managing the season, trying to keep it on course and get it back when it goes off. You're managing people day to day, the stuff on social media, school stuff, the media."
On top of it all, the superstar was the coach's son. Doug McDermott took 487 shots — the second most was 217 by Chatman. And people wanted Doug to shoot more, score more. It's a no-brainer, sure, but it can mess with team chemistry and dynamics, even with a close team.
Unless you have a father and son who know how to handle it.
"I'm blown away by what (Greg McDermott) has done in three years," Bahe said. "That's a very delicate situation. If things didn't go well, it could have blown up."
The one time Mac looked like he might be going after his players, calling them too nice and chiding them to hold their teammates more accountable, he knew what he was doing because he knew his team.
But this season was an untraveled road for Mac, starting with his statement back in October that the team should shoot for the Sweet 16.
"I've never had a season like this because I've never had a team with expectations like this," McDermott said. "But I felt like I trusted my guys, trusted them to handle it. They understood it wouldn't be easy. There would be ups and downs.
"I tried to stay encouraging. You have to keep things in perspective. As I get older, I learn to take what happens and learn from it, don't hold onto it and flip the page. We are where we are today because we stayed the course."
We'll probably never know how good Mac was this year, how hard it was, what it meant. That's OK. He was the Creighton Coach of the Year. And the year's not done yet.

And he did point out a huge issue with the aluminium blades, they develop fatigue cracks at the rivets and throw fan blades. Dont know of anyone injured this way but I have seen more than 1 fan shroud tore up.

06-03-2013, 10:26 PM #17Yep, watch the rivet holes where it mounts to the base, thats where they fail.
My understanding is their failure is directly related to how well they do moving air, the blades flatten out at high speed then at lower speed they curl back up, this constant stress on the metal causes the rivets to work loose then allows the metal to start cracking at the rivet holes.
Like I said I've seen them tear up fan shrouds when they let loose, and I've seen a blade go through the hood of a vehicle once.
06-04-2013, 05:03 PM #19That might be why the fan failed. I've read those fans pull over 50 amps continuous on low speed and a lot more when they first turn on.
06-04-2013, 05:54 PM #20Just reading the thread title, my first thought was that you had the e-fans installed and were wanting to swap back to a mechanical fan and I was all "WWHAAAAATT????"

Although I have not been as in depth as many of you in the lore and past gameplay, I have always been an avid fan of the Battletech Universe.
Sadly, I do not know what some of these terms and acronyms mean, but I'll do my best to answer the following:
In-Game Handle (if different from the registered name used for this site)
- Caine2112, but I always go by Caine
- None
- None
- I have none nor understand what this means. I have played very extensively most of the video games, MW4 most of all. I've also played a lot of tabletop back in the mid 90s with friends. I'm getting back into the lore, reading as much as I can. Always found the BT lore very fascinating.
- Eastern Standard Time; Availability will be usually from 9pm to 2am weekdays, saturdays, and some sunday evenings.
- Not sure what this means exactly, but after reading much of what the mechanics of this game will entail, the Scout role appeals to me the most, followed by Commander. Whether I want added responsibilities in the community or not is still unknown.
As for my email, I'm not comfortable revealing it either on the forum or in private. Do however PM through the site at your leisure. If there's more info you require, just ask.

I have returned from the other side!
Tis I SteelTalon (from AOL, Gamestorm, and ISW).
I was also known in ISW as Meltdown *Comstar* (one of the assistant developers, my has it really been that long already!).
Not many knew I was a Comstar (for obvious reasons..), and wanted to be as fair as possible to all the players during those exciting development days.
With the ISW development, I did not take an active roll in my position as I wanted to.
I found an old roster which I can email.
I was in OMD,
Firestorm was Marshal, and I was LtGen.

Glad to see House Marik coordinating at this early stage. I've served with many groups, but it's the Marik commanders and pilots that I hold in the highest regard. To any who still have honest questions about the separation of command and battle skill, I wanted to offer my humble experience, take it or leave it as you will.
I operated as the #1 ranked pilot in MPBT Solaris for a long time, becoming the first MPBT Solaris Champion in Gamestorm history and reaching that status from scratch on five separate occasions. I reached the #1 ranking in both light and heavy classes as well. I also led House Davion Special Forces as XO during the early Gamestorm years, during which -SF- was arguably the top lance in Gamestorm, going 49-1 in SIMM battles. I field captained for the majority of elite units in MPBT including: Outlaw Immortals, DRAAGUN, Team BoRg, and Wolfs Dragoons. My point in saying this is: I understand what it's like to be a hotshot pilot who can duel and lead lances at an extremely high level.
If you are someone who operates at this level on the field, you do not want a true House leadership position. Rank? Yes, you deserve that distinction, but the true responsibility of coordinating multiple units, keeping egos massaged with command positions, rallying offensives by getting everyone on at the same time, and generally keeping everyone happy and well-organized is another game within the game.
The true joy in the game, for those who understand owning an elite piloting skill set, comes from staying on the field with your buddies, tweaking your mechs to squeeze every last ounce out of them, devising field strategies and discovering optimal mech combinations. You will beat your head against a wall trying to play both games, and I promise you: it's not worth it.
Accept your role in the House: a master field captain and ace pilot. Let the "desk jockeys" do what they do best, for they do it well. Build positive relationships instead of needling each other because you feel slighted or disrespected in some way. If you honor each other's gifts and use each others strength's instead of trying to be all things to all people, you will maximize your enjoyment of the game.
As a hotshot pilot who holds a strong disdain for inactive, incompetent House leadership, I will vouch for the leadership skills of Nitehawk, Nehrul, Crash, and the rest who run in that circle. They are the most active leadership team in the MPBT community, and they will make your life easier, so trust in their abilities.
In this incarnation of our universe, I will not seek to reinstate my former rank and command, but will join the family of MPBT pilots who will help me have the most fun: DRAAGUN. We are intending to form a mercenary unit, so I sincerely hope House Marik is our primary contractor and I will see many of you on the field as allies and not enemies. Nitehawk or any of the other leaders, please feel free to register at draagun.com, or add me on skype @ najhz9, we'll get you into the channel with a lot of the gunners. Maybe we can setup some preliminary discussions between you and Merlin and Rygat.
Cheers and best wishes to you all,
the former Major General BaronNight <LCCC> *M*, aka Hercules, aka D'Artagnan

It is good to see you, and I can not stress enough how spot on your comments are!
While I love the role of a Leader, I would not want to position of a battlefield commander. I leave that to the experts, and happily pilot whichever mech the group needs.
I have no idea what my role will be come this incarnation of 3025, but if I get a chance, you know I'll be one of the first trying to hire your Mercenary unit!

I see a bit of in-fighting has already begun. Having participated in or managed a dozen, give or take, communities like this since many here last saw me it doesn't surprise me. It will happen anywhere, with any game, without fail. There are always those that think only the most skilled can and should lead. And they usually forget about all of the time spent on the proper management and coordination of such a large group. Many are willing to sacrifice time and enjoyment (and have!), sometimes even their own hard earned cash, to make a community a better place. And those same people may be the least skilled of the entire crop.
Sometimes the ones who think they should lead purely by their skill in the seat do win out. But it's hardly a 50/50 chance of whether or not they keep up with the 'paper work' in the background. More often than not, I've seen things let go. Heck, I've *been* the one to let things go in the past. How long into the many delays of ISWars was it before I finally stepped down and had someone else take over my post? In fact I think I may have made the mistake of not officially stepping down, but I honestly can't remember.
My opinion is, let those who have experience leading lead. Let the ones who are willing to go the extra mile to make things work do so. If someone who hasn't lead before thinks they can do it, they'll get their shot. We all do at some point. But it's certainly not at the peak of the mountain. We all started somewhere far lower. If your leadership skills are there, you *will* rise. Sometimes even if you don't want it.
And on to the matter at hand:
MPBT:3025 handle was FoxSE or Fox[SE] or something of the like. Can't remember for sure.
Last known rank, district, and honors;
Gen. Fox Parker
DXO of the Ryerson Military District
Knight Lieutenant - Knights of Regulus
I'd be happy to drop back to just a regimental position. DXO of RMD was one thing when we were all scattered and only a few were trying to make it work on the Mech4 engine. I think a regiment is handful enough. I'd prefer the 4th RH, and have no intention of renaming it this time.
As for rosters, I still have some old 4th RH stuff, and even some RMD/RDC stuff. From rosters to a promotion guide, and even the Articles of Confederation. All are from MPBT:3025 through very tentative ISW stuff. As I mentioned in another thread, if any command or in this case organizers would like to get a hold of me, my e-mails have changed around a bit. I still have all my old messengers running in Trillian though. If you need anything and don't have contact info for me, please PM me here. I don't post e-mail addresses in public threads if I can help it. Has helped keep spam to a bare minimum over the years.

Handle: WrathchildeVoTF
Rank: Peon (Think I was a cpl. at the end of MPBT:3025. Haven't been active in the online community since then)
Background: TT from BattleDroids on. MW1-4, MC1/2, MPBT:3025(Kesmai/EA), dabbled with ISW.
TZ/Avail: Eastern TZ, available afternoons/evenings dependant on work schedules.
Interests: Mood music, walks through crumbling buildings, the smell of LRM propellant in the morning.
For those worried about the folks in this thread "Taking over", don't be. Many of the folks here have been playing together for up to 20 years, off and on. This type of concern comes out every time the idea of CoC comes up. Think of it more as a sort of meta-guild. No one has to do what they say because of what they did in a game that doesn't exist anymore. But, they've also got the experience from many different iterations of this franchise, and have proven to be able to work together and achieve goals in them. Teamwork is what will win the matches in this game, and getting an idea of who has what experience is only smart.
I look forward to seeing you all on the dropships, both newcommers, and veterans both.
long Live Andurien!

I ran across some Nvidia article which mentioned a new Mechwarrior game so I did a Google search for my old Mechwarrior handle and this is what I found.

A mausoleum[1] is an external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of a deceased person or people. A monument without the interment is a cenotaph. A mausoleum may be considered a type of tomb or the tomb may be considered to be within the mausoleum. A Christian mausoleum sometimes includes a chapel.
The word derives from the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (near modern-day Bodrum in Turkey), the grave of King Mausolus, the Persian satrap of Caria, whose large tomb was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Historically, mausolea were, and still may be, large and impressive constructions for a deceased leader or other person of importance. However, smaller mausolea soon became popular with the gentry and nobility in many countries. In the Roman Empire, these were often ranged in necropoles or along roadsides: the via Appia Antica retains the ruins of many private mausolea for miles outside Rome. However, when Christianity became dominant, mausoleums were out of use.[2]
Later, mausolea became particularly popular in Europe and its colonies during the early modern and modern periods. A single mausoleum may be permanently sealed. A mausoleum encloses a burial chamber either wholly above ground or within a burial vault below the superstructure. This contains the body or bodies, probably within sarcophagi or interment niches. Modern mausolea may also act as columbaria (a type of mausoleum for cremated remains) with additional cinerary urn niches. Mausolea may be located in a cemetery, a churchyard or on private land.
In the United States, the term may be used for a burial vault below a larger facility, such as a church. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, California, for example, has 6,000 sepulchral and cinerary urn spaces for interments in the lower level of the building. It is known as the "crypt mausoleum". In 2010, a woman was discovered to have exhumed her deceased husband and twin sister, and was keeping the remains in her Wyalusing, Pennsylvania home. Authorities advised that the only legal way for her to keep the remains on her premises would be to erect a mausoleum.[3]

Got to admit, worst part for me as a runner was that I'm also a photo-hound, and the park just came to life on the second lap when the fog lifted. Beautiful water birds, moss-covered trees, gators, (missed the herd of wild hogs, though!). Ample aid stations, snacks. I did get off course thougharrows didn't always seem to point out the trail clearly at the forks in the road. Biggest complaint was the timing issue at the end, and the organizer having to ask all the people sitting around who they were, their ages, and the event they ran. Never did get the final times announced for the marathon, and I actually placed in my age group! (Surprise!) Also, it's pretty rare for a 1/2 or full marathon to not have finisher medals. It's not always about the 'bling' but it's nice to have something to take back home. Got to say the biggest perk to running this is the setting!
Nice race! Great crew with marvellous volunteers your support is what keeps us going. Next year, try to keep us more off the main park roads.More trails mean more fun. Good chill out area afterwards, although a beer with the burger would have made it 5-stars! J Thanks!
What I liked: -Not crowded -Scenery is great -Race layout (2 times figure-8 loops) -Lots of water/gatorade -Chip timing -Didn't see any crocodiles on the trail Didn't like: -No mile markers (bring your garmin)

I did a search, and found nothing, so sue me if there is something on this.
Have there been any plans to add 3v3 Darkwood Vale as a viable bracket? TBH the map is very interesting, pretty well balanced. Of course there is a different playstyle involved but as long as it remains on Darkwood Vale, everything seems peachy.
Just sayin, seeing some competitive 3s would be awesome for a change, discuss.

:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
pretty sure someone did a tournament that no one cared about on it.
Warbeast would be firstpicked every game. I'm just sayin. All that extra gold = superfast farm and he will continue that farm. If u try block creepcamps etc. you just basicly loose alot of the vision they could give instead. + that 2 sololanes would be insane. If you counter with another jungler = autoloose cause other 2 lanes would be gankers (dr repulsor ftw?) na but honestly would be alot of fun. But the moneyproblem is such a biggie cuz ye... think about wich heroes who gain alot by getting the money. ^^
Oh well!
All the other maps are imbalanced, not many good teams would enter the tournament
I can guarantee that Darkwood Vale is ALOT more balanced than Forest of Caldavar for the 3v3 setting, simply due to its size and 1 less lane; if you've ever played
3v3 on Forest, you'll know what I'm talking about.
And not only that, but simply saying its not balanced keeps people from TRYING it. You can only think its unbalanced if you play it once.
I myself, although not a tournament player, play 3v3 a lot, and I see nothing wrong with Darkwood for 3v3. Granted there may be some imbalances, although
I have not seen any striking ones (war beast is pretty strong in here, to argue to an above poster, but its easily beatable). You could say the exact same thing for Forest in 5v5, different modes of play grant more use to certain heroes. Nothing is ever in perfect balance, including Forest 5v5. More or less, however, the same heroes have the same viability as in Forest, give or take 1 here or there.
Honestly you just have to get used to a different lay-out than the Forest people hold so dear to. Let me add, by no way means am I against 5v5, I would just like to see
some variety.
TDLR; what I'm trying to say is that Darkwood 3v3 just needs proper exposure.

:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
3v3s rule and forest has it's imbalances as well. And Warbeast is LOL easy counter. I'd also suggest making the 3v3 game bd instead of bp.
You would see a lot of new stuff.
darkvale is a really fun map. 3vs3 are alot more fun than 5vs5 .
From what I heard on HoNCasts Podcast (They had a dev on) that Darkvale is gone and they have created a new 3v3 map that should be on the test client friday/saturday.
So no, there probably wont be any Darkvale tournaments.
He mentioned no kongor, and only 1 rune spot and everything will be a lot smaller (Bases, map) etc..etc..
:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
You can check out the podcast under our podcast section, its the Honcast Weekly Episode 10.... and yes Idejder confirms that Darkwood Vale will be thrown out and replaced with a modified 3v3 map with one rune and no boss.... he also leaked a couple of other things, check it out.
Wow they didn't even give vale a chance. Now comes s2 the ruiners of all things balanced or fun. Time for 3v3 to go the way of zephyr.
Jees, they'll actually remove darkwood, but not remove watchtower? lol
I just don't see the point of REMOVING content from the game, because public games still play the map often enough. Not to mention it gets played alot more than Watchtower :P
Welp.... so much for my Darkwood Vale tutorial video that I'm working on
:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
well then if so maybe...
but flat out removing content just seems counter productive otherwise o_O
:TabletOfCommand: Check out my Tablet of Command -- Tutorial Video!
How about we put 4 baskets in basketball and make football fields 40 yards long and circular. Then we can add another 2 bases in baseball and have no out of bounds or penalty box in soccer.
You have your playing field, the most popular map. the other maps can be likened to custom maps on sc and wc, they are merely for fun and not considered the true game itself.
I fail to see the validity of that argument. In those said sports there are SET RULES on the measurements of each field and baskets etc etc.
Unless I am wrong, I do believe there are no set rules for this map, sure the TRADITION is set for forest of caldavar setup, but I have yet to see any rules for this.
So with that argument said that im quoting, what if we add every possible world? No one map in almost every e-sport game is only played (some of the older FPS games for example quake2 >> q2dm1 was the most played traditional map but was never the end all map for every competitive play), also correct me if i'm wrong, multiple SC maps are played?
If you think i'm not allowed to compare this game to other games then you are contradicting yourself when you compare it to athletic sports.

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 27 (continued)If I know'd a donkey wot wouldn't go To see Mrs JARLEY'S wax-work show, Do you think I'd acknowledge him? Oh no no! Then run to Jarley's-- --besides several compositions in prose, purporting to be dialogues between the Emperor of China and an oyster, or the Archbishop of Canterbury and a dissenter on the subject of church-rates, but all having the same moral, namely, that the reader must make haste to Jarley's, and that children and servants were admitted at half-price. When she had brought all these testimonials of her important position in society to bear upon her young companion, Mrs Jarley rolled them up, and having put them carefully away, sat down again, and looked at the child in triumph. 'Never go into the company of a filthy Punch any more,' said Mrs Jarley, 'after this.' 'I never saw any wax-work, ma'am,' said Nell. 'Is it funnier than Punch?' 'Funnier!' said Mrs Jarley in a shrill voice. 'It is not funny at all.' 'Oh!' said Nell, with all possible humility. 'It isn't funny at all,' repeated Mrs Jarley. 'It's calm and-- what's that word again--critical? --no--classical, that's it-- it's calm and classical. No low beatings and knockings about, no jokings and squeakings like your precious Punches, but always the same, with a constantly unchanging air of coldness and gentility; and so like life, that if wax-work only spoke and walked about, you'd hardly know the difference. I won't go so far as to say, that, as it is, I've seen wax-work quite like life, but I've certainly seen some life that was exactly like wax-work.' 'Is it here, ma'am?' asked Nell, whose curiosity was awakened by this description. 'Is what here, child?' 'The wax-work, ma'am.' This is page 222 of 618.

Young Sherpa conservationists are organising a race on June 18 to draw attention to the devastating effects of Global Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) in the Himalayas.
Organisations around the world called attention to the issue on December 11, designated by the United Nations as International Mountain Day.
The UIAA has nominated Dawa Steven Sherpa for the IOC Environmental Award, which recognises and encourages the implementation of good environmental practices in the field of sport.
Linda McMillan, the new president of the UIAA Mountain Protection Commission, brings with her broad experience from representation of climbers in environmental projects.
Archaeologists say they are relying on climbers and hikers to alert them to any unusual objects they may come across during their alpine walks or mountain expeditions.
A US geography professor has created an atlas of computer generated aerial views of the Himalaya, available for all on the internet. The atlas contains over 700 life-like panoramas that offers climbers a unique view of the mountains they plan to climb.
The National Park Service (NPS) in Yosemite, United States, is asking climbers for help with a study of lichens growing on big rock faces. Those who volunteer for one or more days between September 1- 21 will get free camping, experience with field work and the chance to meet up with other climbers.
Climbers and mountaineers will take part in a workshop on conservation across borders in Kathmandu, Nepal from November 11-14. An important part of the event is to gather information for an upcoming book on transboundary conservation.
Chinese officials have announced a new "ecological security" plan for Tibet, which has the fastest rate of global warming in the world.
A new meteorological station now in place on Mount Everest is providing hourly updates online from its position 8,000 metres above sea level. The station will supply valuable information to climbers and scientists researching climate change.

Sifting Through What's Left of the NFL's Free-Agent Heap
By Robert Mays atThe first few days of NFL free agency are a jumble of names, rumors, and fan delusion (mostly the fan delusion). No matter how many times we see a team win a Super Bowl on the back of solid drafting and player development, early March always becomes a time when the next big name is going to put that offseason champion over the top. After a week or so, the big prizes are gone, and attention turns to the next set of saviors — that year's crop of first-round picks.
Moves that go down in May never come with the same fanfare, but especially with the current salary-cap landscape in the NFL (with player salaries outpacing the cap), there are still bargains to be had. There are still more than a handful of players out there who can make a difference for a team, this year and beyond, and to help sift through them, we put together what we hope is a helpful primer.
Eric Winston
2012 team: Kansas City Chiefs
Winston was the most notable casualty during the regime change in Kansas City (aside from Matt Cassel, I guess, but c'mon). He signed a four-year, $22 million deal with the Chiefs last offseason after being cut by the Texans, but with John Dorsey and Andy Reid coming to town and two franchise left tackles sitting there with the no. 1 pick, Winston was shown the door. Kansas City seems to have a better plan in place than Houston did a year ago. The right side of the Texans' offensive line was a shuffling mess last season without their former right tackle, but now that the Branden Albert trade with Miami has fallen through, Kansas City will likely have no. 1 pick Eric Fisher on the left side and the franchised Albert on the right.

Delta County Memorial Hospital and 19 other Colorado hospitals received awards from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Sept. 18 for implementing best practices to support breastfeeding. Last year, the department recognized 13 hospitals.
There now are 33 hospitals — more than half of all Colorado birthing hospitals — that give new mothers the support they need to start and continue breastfeeding.
"Our Colorado hospital community is making great strides in supporting breastfeeding for new mothers," said Dr. Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medical officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "We know breastfeeding can help prevent childhood obesity and reduce the risk of many childhood illnesses. The majority of new mothers want to breastfeed, and these hospitals play a vital role in giving babies a healthy start."
Hospitals that receive the Colorado Can Do 5! breastfeeding award implement five best practices:
1. The infant is breastfed in the first hour after birth.
2. The infant is fed only breast milk in the hospital.
3. The infant stays in the same room with the mother in the hospital.
4. The infant does not use a pacifier in the hospital.
5. Hospital staff gives each mother a telephone number to call for help with breastfeeding after being discharged from the hospital.
Supporting mothers in their breastfeeding efforts is effective and inexpensive early intervention to the prevention of obesity, one of the state's winnable battles. By 2016, the department's goal is to increase the percentage of mothers who report some breastfeeding of their infants at 6 months of age from 61 percent to 65 percent.

Superior BBQ Parts
Grilling is a time-honored American tradition, as synonymous with this great country as apple pie and the MLB World Series. If your beloved grill is starting to wear out from years of use and enjoyment, you don't have to toss it out and replace it. Chances are, you can make it function like new again by simply upgrading some key parts. We offer the best and most affordable burners, cooking grids, heat plates, ignitors, venturi tubes and other replacement parts to make your favorite grill ignite like new. Your meats, fish and vegetables will taste better than ever before, and you can bet that everyone is going to want to be at your next barbecue.
Have you inspected your grill lately? If not, you should. Did you know that burners can wear out after years of abuse from extreme heat? Or that gas valves frequently become cracked and corroded? And don't get us started on the venturi tubes, which pose a serious fire hazard if compromised. You know that it only takes one busted hose to render your car inoperable, and grills aren't much different in that respect. Even something as simple as a faulty ignitor can derail your entire grilling effort, so it's absolutely critical to keep all your parts in order. When you replace those faulty old components, not only will you enjoy easier and safer grilling, but you'll immediately taste the difference in every delicious piece of food that comes into contact with your flame.

"We're one of the most wired cities in the world, but there's still much we can do to bring the benefits of this technology revolution to all segments of our city." -Mayor Greg Nickels
Greg Nickels, Mayor Department of Information Technology BILL SCHRIER chief technology officer RONA ZEVIN director, office of electronic communications DAVID KEYES manager, community technology program staff D.H. CASS MAGNUSKI editor |
On August 11, Neighborhood House celebrated the grand opening of its newly-constructed Rainier Vista Service Center in the heart of Seattle Housing Authority's (SHA) Rainier Vista HOPE VI redevelopment area north of Alaska Street in the Rainier Valley. The new facility houses a computer learning lab, two Head Start classrooms and a large multi-purpose room, along with employment and social service staff. The International District Housing Alliance (IDHA) and Horn of Africa Services (HOAS) also provide assistance at this one stop service center. The SHA Rainier Vista Community Builder, Rainier Vista Job Connection and the Rainier Vista Leadership Team are also located at the new center.
Funded in part by the 2005 Technology Matching Fund, the technology lab offers 15 new computers for residents' use. The increased capacity in the lab provides a boost for residents of all ages. "Participants will be able to do things like complete their homework, increase their employability, learn about community resources, take advantage of online information gathering, better their typing skills, and on a larger scale, familiarize themselves with technology they can access daily," according to Amy Kickliter. The lab offers open lab time, ESL tutoring, Microsoft Office skills training, computer basics for seniors, job search assistance, resume writing workshops and more. Contact Amy for more information.
The community technology field has stepped up to help with hurricane Katrina disaster relief. It is also teaching us more about the importance of preparedness and the role of our technology learning centers and community of volunteers and staff.
Houston's Tech for All has become the lead partner with the City of Houston, setting up a computer lab at the Astrodome. Computer terminals and Internet access has become critical for coordination and for families to get online and email relatives, search for missing family members, and get news. Will Reed from Tech for All pointed out that the community tech centers will be important for long-term job and housing resettlement. Local and national volunteers have acted quickly to their requests for supplies and assistance. Here in Washington, the Red Cross sent out a request in preparation for housing evacuees. Local organizations with technology labs and expertise responded quickly, though the number of evacuees coming here is a uncertain.
This experience raises the question of what role the centers play in our region's disaster planning. At a minimum, the computer labs should promote links to safety and preparedness information. Look at where the nearest shelters are and make sure the shelter operators, Red Cross and regional emergency planners are aware of your services. Make sure you have an earthquake and emergency kit at your site and an emergency communications plan. Have your employees, volunteers and participants taken care of this at home? For a checklist and other info preparedness see the City's Project Impact. They also have links to kid sites for a variety of ages here.
Teens from the Yesler Terrace computer lab had an opportunity to showcase their work in an interactive demonstration at the Experience Music Project Museum (EMP) on August 23rd. The students created a live music-mixing technology that enabled a camera to view a picture of a tambourine, guitar, drums or voices and then display a 3D model of the image on video with an accompanying musical track. The fun began when all the pictures were viewed at the same time, the instruments getting louder and quieter as they moved closer and farther from the camera.
To create their project, the Yesler students used Augmented Reality software, which was developed by the University of Washington's Human Interface Lab. The teens attended two eight-week sessions to learn about the technology and create the interactive pieces. "Our goal was to get kids excited about technology, to experience new technologies and to create something new and interesting" according to Peter Gruenbaum. The creative process was energizing. "Once the kids got involved, they came up with ways to use the software that never even occurred to us" said Gruenbam.
The program also engaged the students. "It was fun making something real that we could actually use," said Saib Mohah. They weren't just learning ho hum computer skills, but using cutting edge technologies. "We learned the same kind of stuff they do to make Shrek," said Mohan.
Gruenbaum will be teaching more Augmented Reality classes later in the year at the Delridge Community Center and the Neighborhood House computer lab in Rainier Vista . For more information contact Peter Gruenbaum.
Seattle is a city of many people and many stories; stories that can communicate our differences but also bring to light our similarities. Community Stories is a new television series committed to presenting the different stories of our city's diversity, a compelling and proactive reflection of the people of Seattle.
Produced by the Seattle Channel, Community Stories is also seeking input and story ideas. The series is inviting individuals, community leaders, community associations, neighborhood centers, ethnic groups, new Americans, seniors and young people to submit stories about their community and themselves.
Community Stories will premiere Sunday, September 25, at 7 p.m. on the Seattle Channel, cable channel 21. Please visit their web site, or email Senior Producer Shannon Gee a for more information and to submit story ideas.
This fall, the Seattle Public Schools has begun implemention of
The Source, an exciting new web-based communications portal that will provide
parents, students, teachers and school administrators with vital information to support student achievement and parent involvement in
school. The Source is funded by the Buildings, Technology and Academics Levy approved by voters in 2004. For parents and guardians,
the Source provides easy access to information that will help them
collaborate with teachers and school staff to help students succeed. This includes same-day information on attendance, lists of homework assignments, due dates and support materials, grades, scores on standardized tests and more. The same is true for community workers who provide support for at-risk students. J.D. Leza, at South Park Community Center's Technology Learning Lab, works with some of the lowest performing students in the district. Helping students and parents access information on student homework assignments, attendance and overall academic progress for participants in
his after school programs will help him coordinate
technology learning in the lab with academic achievement in schools.
Technology center staff will be able to more quickly identify when students
fall behind, help failing students earn school
credit in the lab, and help families increase WASL test scores through test
preparation workshops. "The increased communication and coordination
between students, parents, teachers, principals and our lab staff will better serve the youths overall," said J.D. Efforts are being made to make The Source available to everyone. It will be translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Somali. In addition, the School district will provide trainings to assist students and families who do not have a computer to access the system at community technology centers and libraries. For more information on
The Source, contact Ramona Pierson or or
Mike Donlin at the Seattle School District.
The Source will be launched in the next month for middle and high school students, then rolled out for elementary schools.

Are Floppy Drives over? The Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) was the primary means for transferring data to a computer for about 20 years until the CD-Rom came about. A floppy drive reads and writes data to a piece of metal coated plastic similar to an audio cassette tape.
The floppy disk drive was invented at IBM by Alan Shugart in 1967. The first floppy drives used an 8-inch disk, later called a "diskette" as it got smaller, which evolved into the 5.25-inch disk that was used on the first IBM Personal Computer in August, 1981. The 5.25-inch disk held 360 kilobytes. Today's floppies have a 1.44 megabyte capacity. The 5.25-inch disks were dubbed "floppy" because the diskette packaging was a very flexible plastic envelope, unlike the rigid case used to hold today's 3.5-inch diskettes.
Today, systems are being sold without the floppy drive. The use of compact disks and lately, DVDs (digital video disks) have become common. Most users are switching their data sources over to Solid-State Storage systems like Memory cards and Thumb Drives, which allow for easy transport and file saving and deleting. This media has a storage capacity of 2MB to 2GBs. Memory cards can be small. The thumb drives plug directly into USB ports and the memory cards can be used in a variety of devices and plug into an internally mounted storage reader or external reader that plugs into the USB port. CDs are still cheaper than thumb drives for distribution or long-term archiving. That may not be true tomorrow. So long floppies; you've been great!
Currently, to make sure your data is truly transferable to any newer computer, it's better to use one of the Solid-State Storage devices. Floppies may be found in systems for another two or three years, but their usefulness is in question.

Curled up corners September 19, 2013
"I recently purchased the opulence seagrass rug (5x8) and am disappointed that even after weeks of the rug laying flat with heavy items weighing down the corners and short ends, when I take the heavy items off of the rug, the short ends and especially the corners spring up as if it wants to roll itself back up. We have tried turning the rug over for days at a time, folding the corners under and putting heavy items on them to "unroll" the corners, but it has been several weeks with no improvement. It has become a serious tripping hazard, and just looks crummy. I am surprised to have this problem, because I have ordered many seagrass rugs from this same company, and have never had this problem with any of their other rugs. I guess I just got a dud."

Review on Inglorious Basterds
So, I'm not a film critics, but I want to share what I think is the best film so far this year. My thoughts on Inglorious Basterds. Lets start of with Quentin Terantino, what a guy, right!? This film is so damn good that's what you need to know about the cinematographer/director. Moving on.
Brad Bitt!? Again, what a friggin good actor, he does the southern accent like a genius, even when he is acting Italian. The brutalness in Quentin's directory is done with the essence of humor, like all other Quentin films. I had no made up minds before I saw the film, and I love when thats the case, beacuse you will see the film for what it really is, art.
When it comes to angels, lenses, style of photography, thats all the aspects of wich Quentin is a genius in mastering the capture methods. I would go sa far down the road that I could say that he is this centurys best cinematographer. The vague intrest in moments and a BIG eye for details, that's what makes Quentins films so interesting and diverse. Also the fact that everything he touches turns to cult. Enough said.
So from the audience view, what captures and binds you infront of the white screen for over 2 and a half hour?! Is it computer generated effects? Is it big hollywood producers? Is it avaiton fighting and big explosions?… No it's the raw and bare details, of humans acting and taking on different roles. The chemical reactions in your brain causes you to laugh, jump in your seat, and maybe produce a tear or two. This is film history 101, humans will allways like the fact that we are just human. Live is fragile and weak, that is very clear in the film, Inglorious Basterds. over n out.

A New Way To Look At 'Conventional Format' Gauges
This industry never ceases to amaze me... especially in terms of what it will do to satisfy all aspects of a fickle market. While the amazing capabilities of the latest electronic displays have offered extraordinary capabilities to the avionics industry, in particular, the reliability and simplicity of these systems offer much to recommend them as well. So... what do you do when you want "conventional" display formats for gauges like an Attitude Indicator -- but want the added benefits of these latest in glass display technology? You make dedicated replacement gauges that look and operate just like the more conventional gauges BUT boast the added simplicity and reliability of the newer technologies.

Jan. 10, 2012 — Ask around any community, and you will hear many people voice a need for volunteers.
I have been creating a list of organizations in Westwood that need help in order to write a series of articles on volunteerism, and the opportunities for volunteering are great.
The fire departments, the community library and the museum in Westwood operate with volunteers.
The schools need volunteers and many of the sports programs and activities for children, such as Cub Scouts, can't be offered without volunteers.
However, the need is not a reason to step forward. I did some research via the Internet on the qualities of a good volunteer that you can review as a guideline to uncover what work you might do in 2012.
Yahoo listed five characteristics of a good volunteer: passion, commitment, positive attitude, dependability and punctuality.
First, find something you are passionate about. For example, if you like animals, find a cause that benefits them. This will keep you committed and dependable.
Volunteers need to abide by the requirements of the position, whether committing a certain number of hours or serving on a particular day, attending training sessions or finishing tasks.
They also need to arrive on time. Most volunteer positions require timeliness such as opening the museum or library according to the hours posted or driving children to a sporting event.
Finally, volunteering isn't a half-hearted endeavor, according to Yahoo. It requires enthusiasm and energy, no matter the task.
A website, called "Voluntary Worker," posted an article written by Jeff Durham in which volunteers were described as "Regular people who give up some of their time to help individuals, organizations and causes out of choice and for no financial gain in return."
Webster's Dictionary describes a volunteer as "One who enters into or offers himself for a service of his own free will."
According to Durham, volunteering is "expressing concern about something or somebody other than oneself. It's about putting in the time, effort and commitment to help fellow men, women or animals or to contribute towards a cause that you feel passionate about."
Often people have skills that can steer them toward the right volunteer position.
For example, Adele Emershaw, superintendent of Westwood Unified School District, mentioned people with knowledge about plants and gardening are needed to develop the area around the outdoor classroom recently installed on the playground at Fletcher Walker Elementary by Learning Landscapes.
Of course, history buffs will enjoy volunteering at the museum and those who understand and love baseball may want to coach a Little League team.
At other times, people may be passionate about a cause but require training to fill a volunteer position. For example, if you wish to volunteer for a crisis hotline you may need to work with another volunteer and study a manual.
Anyone with a passion for politics will have an opportunity to volunteer for a campaign because 2012 is an election year. Or you might consider running for a board. In Westwood, three seats on the school board are up for election.
This year, assess your interests, skill and passion and invest in your community. It will make a difference by improving quality of life and/or circumstances.
