Difference between revisions of "Baratang Island"
Revision as of 08:39, 22 March 2010
Baratang Island is part of the Andaman and Nicobar group off the coast of India.
This is one of best part of your trip to Andaman Islands. Here you get to see the wild nature as well as its beauty. Andaman trip will be incomplete without a trip to Baratang and Jirkatang.--Rajarshi777 04:33, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
Get in
It is about 90 km away from Port Blair. Regular bus services are available from STS Bus Terminal, Aberdeen Bazar. Journey takes about 2 hrs and 30 minutes from Port Blair to Middle Strait and the fare is just Rs. 45. From Nilambur Jetty at middle strait ferry [1] [2] services are available for Baratang Island [3]. Ferry fare is only Rs. 3/- and it takes about 15 minutes to reach Baratang from Nilambur Jetty.
It is advisable to take a conducted tour of the Baratang islands. Once you start from Port Blair early morning at around 4 am, the first halt is at Jirkatang (40 kms from Port Blair on road). At Jirkatang you will get a forest/police check post.[4] Just opposite to the check post on the other side of the road is a temple (just for a landmark [5]). From here starts a stretch of 49kms forest (Jarwah Reserve Forest), where you cannot halt your vehicle or walk on foot or take snaps/video. On the other end of the Jarwah Reserve forest is Middle strait jetty. The jetty will take you to the other side of the strait in about 15 minutes. Here you have reached Baratang islands. [6]
This is one of the most exciting part of journey, where you will see the tribes (Jarwah). They are short height, black in complexion, with reddish eyes. They feed on roasted pig meat mainly. Fish and fruits being the other part of their diet. Civilization has not yet touched this part of the world, and the Government of India has taken every steps to ensure that no one interferes with their freedom. Offering food items to Zarawah is strictly prohibited, once when they were offered food (generally fried and spicy as we normally eat), some of the people in the tribe started dying. Forest department (Andaman Adi Janjati Samiti) also provides them with clothes. On your way to Middle strait jetty you might still find a lot of people among the tribes particular young men asking for food. Please do not pay any heed. Always speak to your driver before doing anything. Interacting with the Jarwahs is strictly prohibited as is taking their snaps. There are stories as well as facts of tribes attacking tourists/convoy with bows and arrows and harassing trespassers. So please keep away from them and enjoy the experience.
The vehicles have to leave in convoys. There are 8 convoy throughout the day from Jirkatang (6.30 am, 7am, 7.30 am, 8 am, 9.30 am, 11.30 am, 1.30 pm, 2.30 pm). [7] So please take care of the timings. You cannot cross the forest unless you are in one of the convoys. At Jirkatang check post there is a toilet/bathroom with all facilities. So if you have left from you hotel/lodge at around 4am you will reach there by 5.15 am and you can get fresh and alight your bus/vehicle by 6.30 am before the 1st convoy leaves for Baratang. In the convoy 2 wheelers/bicycles are not allowed. Only 4 wheelers are allowed. The 1st vehicle in the convoy is always a bus, with 1-2 gunned policemen. And the Jarwahs do fear the forest police. Police though does not have shoot order from government of India. Once again if you are an Indian tourist, you will find enough reasons to be proud to be so. Its is simply amazing to see how two worlds (civilized and uncivilized) coexist in this reserve forest with some amount of discipline. Hats off to the Andaman Adi Janjati Samiti.
This is the only road connecting to North Andaman to places like Kadamtala (28 kms from Baratang jetty), Rangat (71 kms from Baratang jetty), Mayabunder (141 kms from Baratang jetty), Diglipur (203 kms from Baratang jetty). Here it is interesting to see how buses/vehicles alight the jetty to reach either side of the middle strait. [8] --Rajarshi777 04:32, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
Get around
At Baratang you can see Mud Volcano [9] which is about 4 km away from the jetty. To reach there you can hire a shared taxi @ Rs. 20/- per head to and fro.
From Baratang, regular boat services are available for Limestone Caves [10]. These ancient caves are located about 50 minutes (by sea) away from Baratang Jetty. The fare of boat is Rs. 200/- per head for both ways. It includes speed boat fare also which is required to reach Limestone Caves. The boat journey through the heart of dense mangrove forest is simply mesmerizing. The boat ride here is a lifetime experience for some. [11] [12] [13]Its something you get to see only in channels like NatGeo or Discovery otherwise. At the limestone caves remember to carry a torchlight, its very dark inside. --Rajarshi777 04:33, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
Another must-see attraction is Parrot Island. The experience at Parrot Island at sunset, when all the parrots are returning home is indeed a mesmerizing experience. For this a night's stay is required at Baratang.
Some points to note :
At the same time visiting Baratang can be more memorable if the trip is taken with a night stay at Baratang. The early morning journey which generally starts at 3:40AM in the morning can easily be avoided. The main reason for any tourist opting for the early morning hectic trip is only because of improper guidance from the Port Blair tour operators. There are regular bus services to Baratang. Book your seat in any bus with your convenient timings and visit Baratang Island. APWD guest House, Forest guest House and Panchayat Guest house are some of the places for the night halt. The only good private property at Baratang is Dew Dale Resorts. By doing so you can also add Parrot Island trip at Baratang in your itinerary, which is really a breathtaking experience. Do visit Baratang Island which is one of the most beautiful parts of Andaman & Nicobar Islands but only with a night halt to avoid the hectic 3:40AM trips.

Red Hat muscles in on Ellison's Java fluffing gig
Linux company claims middleware cred
Red Hat is chipping in on Oracle's plan to fluff server-side Java - reported exclusively by The Reg - so Larry Ellison's database giant can't claim all the credit for moving the platform forward.
The open sourcer has this week submitted a number of proposed specifications on the planned Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 7 to the Java Community Process (JCP). The JCP is the Oracle-controlled body with the final say on all new features in Java running on mobile, desktops, and servers.
Detailing its proposals for The Reg, Red Hat claimed that it has a strong tradition of contributing changes to Java, and that it's maintaining this tradition with Java EE 7.
Java EE 7 is actually an Oracle-authored plan, but the giant has made it clear it is looking to others in the Java EE market for help in its delivery. Under Oracle's plan, Java EE 7 is expected in the third quarter of 2012.
Rich Sharples, Red Hat's director of application platforms, told us that Red Hat was a big contributor to the Java EE 6, by virtue of its acquisition of JBoss in April 2006 for $350m. Until the acquisition, Red Hat was known for one thing: Linux. Some would say that's still the case.
This time around, Red Hat will collaborate on the same number of specs as it did for Java EE 6, Sharples said, but will do a bit more leading from the front on specific issues than it has in the past.
Red Hat has taken the lead in three big areas with its JCP submissions. The first of these is Context and Dependency Injection 1.1, a rev on the code that was one of the big enhancements in Java EE 6, and that allows for Java applications spread across multiple tiers to interact in a loosely coupled way.
The second big spec covers distributed data grids. Red Hat is keen on bringing distributed data grids to Java so that storage can scale to match the horizontal scaling of the Java virtual machines and the Enterprise Editions extensions.
"Scaling the data tier has been more complicated because of the state and nature of databases," says Sharples. The JBoss Infinispan data grid, which is now under development and which is going to ship in the next release of Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, is one example of data grids that Red Hat wants to see for Java platforms.
The company is also adding the application-isolation, security, class-loading, application-versioning, and quality-of-services features that are due to be part of the Java EE 7 spec to its own Java middleware.
The final big spec Red Hat is pushing provides for a consistent way to validate Java code, from the persistence layer back on servers out to the presentation layer on clients. In other words: Bean Validation. The idea is that having the same validation logic across the various Java stacks – mobile, desktop, and server – will make development easier and faster.
In addition to leading on the above fronts, Red Hat is participating in a number of Java Specification Requests (JSRs). It's working on the Java API for RESTful Web Services 2.0 (JSR-339), Java Message Service 2.0 (JSR-343), Java Server Faces 2.2 (JSR-344), and Java Content Repository API (JSR-333) efforts.
More generally, Red Hat is championing the use of HTML5 because, as Sharples told us, "we need more device independence."
Red Hat is also fully behind the adoption of Web Sockets, which is an upgrade to the HTTP protocol that is part of HTML5. Web Sockets does for full-duplex, bidirectional streaming between client and server over the TCP network instead of this ping-ponging that slows everything down in the HTTP stack. Technically, Web Sockets is a kind of on-demand upgrade to the HTTP protocol that you can call for in applications.
Sharples told us the company is also concerned about making Java applications "more amenable" to cloudy infrastructure. That concern extends to raw infrastructure clouds and for platform-as-a-service clouds, which don't let users get down into the guts of the virtual servers but instead expose runtime environments as services that they plop their code onto, and expose databases as services that they then hook those apps into.
"There are a lot of technical changes that need to be done for application isolation and multi-tenancy," Sharples said. ®

I began this blog on October 24, 2006, a bit over two and a half years ago. Its purpose was to keep interested readers up on the Patient's progress through illness and treatment, recovery, and finally restoration to health. I called it The Tonsil War because that's what his diagnosis was; tonsil cancer. This is not as rare as you might think. One of its principal causes is smoking and, although the Patient had not smoked for over 35 years, there he was with thoroughly poisoned and compromised tonsils. Treatment began on September 25 and ended on November 14, 2006. How to deal with all the questions friends and family asked? How to be sure I told everyone the same thing, and all of what they wanted to know? How to keep myself sane during this insane time? Thus was born the blog.
As of Monday, June 1, 2009 the Tonsil War was declared won. The Spousal Unit is no longer the Patient. The doctors ~ oncologist and head and neck surgeon ~ have both given him a clean bill of health and have pronounced him "cured." He is now a statistic, a survivor of tonsil cancer. We knew from the outset that this is a highly curable cancer, about 90% survival rate, so the outlook was good from the start. It's the old saw: If the disease doesn't kill you the treatment will. He got through them both, a bit thinner, but that's about all the remnants.
With all that in mind, I have decided to close this site.
I will continue writing about life in general and, frequently, mine specifically. You will find all that great stuff at: The All of It. The new site will be ready for your visit beginning Monday, June 8, 2009. Y'all come see me, y'heah!

Ann Romney has stepped out into a new role for the final stretch of the campaign: Character witness and defender in chief.
She admonishes her husband's Republican critics. And she tries to convince women that Mitt Romney is on their side. She also counters the portrait her husband's opponent paints of a soul-less corporate raider.
In the weeks since her big convention debut, she has become the center of a campaign within the campaign.
Urgent Poll: Romney Vs. Obama – VOTE NOW!
She has her own charter airplane, holds her own fundraisers, campaigns at her own events, and often sits down for more local interviews than the nominee.
On Monday, she held an event in Henderson, Nev., competing with President Barack Obama, who was in town to prepare for his head-to-head matchup with Mitt Romney.

|Yankees | Mark Teixeira to DL
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:23:55 -0700
The New York Yankees placed 1B Mark Teixeira (wrist) on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, June 18, and recalled P Adam Warren and OF Zoilo Almonte from the minors in corresponding moves. Also, RP Chris Bootcheck was designated for assignment.
Fantasy Tip: GM Brian Cashman hinted yesterday that this would happen. The good news is that there's no structural damage in Teixeira's right wrist. However, there's still the possibility that he'll need season-ending surgery. Monitor his progress and hold onto him for now. Lyle Overbay should see the majority of starts at first base again in Tex's absence, making him relevant in AL-only leagues once again.

Fantasy Tip: Expect Reid Brignac to play nearly every day until Youk and/or Derek Jeter (ankle) return. He might run into minimal deep-mixed value, but that's not a safe bet. Neither Neal nor Bootcheck deserves fantasy attention.

Orca Women's Sonar Sleeveless Wetsuit
Orca's most popular wetsuit just got better. The Sonar has been the class leading mid-range wetsuit for the last five years, thanks to its balance of performance and value for money. For people serious about open water swimming who are looking for a step up from an entry level wetsuit, the Sonar offers more technology than ever before.
The Sonar has been engineered to include panels of orca's Aerodome neoprene - 4mm panels that contain hundreds of air cavities that provide over 30% more buoyancy than a standard equivalent neoprene. The Aerodome has been positioned in the small of the back and core (Core Stability Panel) area to help lift the torso/core into the optimum swim position to lessen the drag and help stability. The buoyancy of the new Aerodome panels is complimented by the front 4mm Hydrolift Body Panel.
- SCS Coating - Drag reducing coating
- Aerodome Core Stability Panels - Strategically placed aerodome panels giving buoyancy where it's needed and helping the swimmer achieve the optimum swim position
- Low Profile Neck - Limits water entry, reduces chafing, reduces drag
- Slipstream Zip - Low drag, easy to use
- 39 Cell Yamamoto Neoprene - Full body coverage of 39 cell SCS - A very high grade of Yamamoto neoprene for a mid range suit, giving excellent flexibility, comfort and range of movement
- Speed Transition Panels - Fast removal of suit enabling faster transition times
- Core Stabilizer Panels - Lumbar and Hip Panels of Aerodome help core buoyancy and stability helping whilst helping you into an optimum swim position

What innovation? The casino way is the lazy way
May 19. 2013 3:49PM
Of the effects casino gambling would have on a state, like New Hampshire, that has no casinos, one could say many truthful things. That these glorified slot machine warehouses would make the state stronger and more innovative is not among them. How did Gov. Maggie Hassan ever wind up saying such a thing? Politics, naturally.
When the huge House committee tasked with studying the Senate's gambling bill voted last week to recommend that the bill be killed, Hassan urged representatives to do the opposite and "vote in favor of moving forward with our own plan to build a stronger, more innovative New Hampshire." Such a plan would be welcome. Any representative looking for it in the casino bill will be disappointed, for it is not there.
Rep. Mary Jane Wallner, writing for the majority of the Joint Committee of Finance and Ways and Means, made a thorough case against Senate Bill 152 in this week's House calendar. Her meticulous chronicle of the bill's myriad weaknesses provides representatives with voluminous reasons to vote against the bill. Hassan, the bill's primary champion, gives only vague campaign soundbites. She is like a television character who has to utter her signature catch-phrase several times an episode, even if it has to be crammed awkwardly into a scene in which it does not fit.
There is nothing remotely "innovative" about bringing slot-machine casino gambling to New Hampshire. Such entities will neither strengthen the state nor provide stable revenue for its government. By and large, they will consume money Granite Staters would have spent elsewhere, or saved. Their appeal for Hassan rests solely in the state's larger share of the take.
Siphoning a portion of a casino's gambling winnings into state coffers is not innovative. It is lazy. Real innovation comes not from collecting and redistributing easy money, but from doing the hard work of finding more creative, more efficient ways to perform the state's necessary functions so that the state does not have to separate the people from any more of their hard-earned money.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- East Tennessee State again made another late-game comeback, but the Georgia Southern Lady Eagles made their key free throws in the final minute to defeat the Lady Bucs, 68-60.
The Lady Eagles (16-6, 10-3 SoCon) carried a 37-28 lead into halftime after holding a double-digit lead for most of the stanza. The largest lead of the game was a 37-24 Georgia Southern lead with 1:02 remaining in the first half. The Lady Bucs (4-18, 4-9 SoCon) then went on a 4-0 mini-run to close the half and cut the deficit to single-digits.
In the first four of minutes of the second half, the Lady Eagles again built their lead to a game-high 13 points at 48-35 with 15:35 left in the game. The Lady Bucs then came alive, with redshirt freshman guard Kiya Verdell leading the way. Verdell, who had been hampered by a torn knee ligament since her arrival in Johnson City prior to last season, showed no ill effects of the injury, using her explosiveness to score 12 points in the final 13 minutes of the contest. Verdell did not miss a shot from the floor, hitting all five of her shots, including two three-point bombs.
After Georgia Southern took their 13-point advantage, ETSU began to chip away at the Lady Eagle lead, cutting the advantage to as little as three points with 8:45 remaining (55-52). Georgia Southern then went on a quick 7-2 run over the next 4:58 to build the lead back to 10. ETSU got back in the game again after a three-pointer by senior guard Chris Forman cut the lead to four at 64-60 with two minutes remaining in the game. But a comeback was not in the cards tonight as the Lady Bucs did not capitalize on late Lady Eagle mistakes and made some costly errors of their own in the final minutes.
It was very disappointing that we lost our composure with 30 seconds left in the game, down by four, said ETSU Head Coach Karen Kemp. We were panicking, playing kind of tight because we want to win so bad.
The Lady Bucs were led by Forman, who scored 14 points on 6-19 shooting and 2-7 from three-point range. Verdell had her career-high scoring effort for the Lady Bucs with her 12 points. Junior forward Megan Jackson led ETSU with eight rebounds and four assists.
Kiya was a bright spot for us tonight. When we recruited her, we knew she could play, said Kemp following the game. She now feels more relaxed and more confident in her ability.
Georgia Southern was led by forward Sharon Mitchell, who registered her second double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Danielle Quinn also added ten points for the Lady Eagles.
We stole one tonight, said Georgia Southern Head Coach Rusty Cram. They outplayed us and wanted that one a little more than we did.
The Lady Bucs return to action on Saturday afternoon from Memorial Center at 3:00 against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Georgia Southern will play host to College of Charleston, Saturday at 1:00.

Historic 150th Pole Position reached in Hungary
On the occasion of McLaren's historic 150th pole position in World Championship Formula 1 racing, eight senior Woking men answer the question "Do you remember your first time?"
Martin Whitmarsh
Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
"I joined McLaren in 1989, and my first race with the team was in 1990. It was the US Grand Prix in Phoenix, an unusual place to hold a Formula 1 race – but it was a very successful event for the team. Gerhard Berger took pole position on his McLaren debut, outclassing Ayrton Senna – which was a great achievement. However, Ayrton went on to take victory, following a memorable dice with Jean Alesi in the anhedral-nosed Tyrrell. It was a pretty good race with which to start my McLaren career!"
Jonathan Neale
Managing director
"It was the 2001 San Marino Grand Prix. I'd only recently started and we were putting Ferrari under a lot of pressure to hold on to their dominance. David [Coulthard] had won in Brazil a fortnight earlier and we were looking good at Imola, David taking pole position and leading an all-McLaren-Mercedes front row with Mika [Hakkinen] second. Ralf Schumacher took his first grand prix victory on the Sunday and we only finished second and fourth in the race, with David once again leading us home, but those were exciting times for me."
Tim Goss
Director of engineering
"I joined McLaren Racing on June 6 1990, so my first race as a member of the team was the 1990 Canadian Grand Prix. Those were fantastic days for the team: Ayrton put MP4-5B on pole and Gerhard backed him by qualifying second. It was a pretty chaotic, wet race, won by Ayrton – I don't remember too much about those early years, but I almost certainly came into the factory and watched the race from there, as I tended to do that back then."
Paddy Lowe
Technical director
"The first pole position after I arrived at McLaren in June 1993 was at the final race of the year in Adelaide, Australia. After a difficult year, it was McLaren and Ayrton's only pole of the season. Of course, it also became Ayrton's last grand prix win.
"The significance for me was that I'd arrived at McLaren from Williams and had been fortunate enough to have been able to identify and develop some immediate performance gains, leading a team developing a powered brake-assistance system worth up to one second per lap. Despite knowing it would be banned for 1994, we got it onto the car for the final three races, scoring a win at Suzuka and pole and victory in Australia.
"I still feel very privileged and proud to have been able to work with Ayrton so briefly, yet to have contributed to his final pole and victory."
Neil Oatley
Director of design and development programmes
"My first McLaren grand prix pole position was also McLaren's first-ever grand prix pole – albeit watched from the grandstands at Paddock Hill Bend as a young(-ish) schoolboy who'd cycled to Brands Hatch to watch the 1968 Race of Champions!
"On that day, Bruce McLaren took the honours – but it was followed a few weeks later by Denny Hulme winning the Daily Express race at Silverstone, and Bruce taking the team's first Formula 1 victory at Spa. An exhilarating time for the team.
"My first McLaren pole as a team member was in 1988, when we took 15 of the 16 poles. As Alain Prost's race engineer, we only scored two of these – at Paul Ricard and Estoril – but the achievement in Portugal was particularly memorable.
"For some reason, Ayrton was perhaps a little off form and Alain set a pretty impressive lap time on Saturday less than halfway through the session. Afterwards, he leapt straight out of the car and disappeared into the truck, emerging five minutes later in his civvies and proceeded to walk across to talk to me on the pitwall.
"All the time, he kept looking directly back into Ayrton's garage, merely adding to the mind games. It was just the sort of situation Ayrton had trouble coping with – and it all boiled over on race day as they ran side by side along the pit straight at the beginning of the race. Those were unforgettable times."
Philip Prew
Principal race engineer
"I'd joined the race team in December 1997, so the opening race of the '98 season was my first race as assistant race engineer, working with Mika Hakkinen in Melbourne.
"After an encouraging series of winter tests, we knew the MP4-13 had good pace, but the margin we held over the others in qualifying was perhaps greater than we'd expected: we were 0.7s faster than Michael Schumacher's Ferrari.
"Mika took the pole from David [Coulthard] and, despite some miscommunication between the drivers, the race was also exceptional. Both our cars lapped the entire field.
"Being my first race, I thought it was easy! However, I've been trying to develop a car with such dominant pace ever since..."
Dave Robson
Race engineer, Jenson Button
The first time a car that I'd directly worked on took pole was at Silverstone in 2008 – and it was Heikki Kovalainen at the wheel of MP4-23.
"In Q1 he dominated the times, finishing 0.3s ahead of Lewis. In Q2, he continued to push hard and built momentum. As we prepared the car for Q3, we thought we'd possibly have a chance of pole but we expected Lewis – in front of his home crowd – to be exceptionally quick.
"As it happened, with only marginally less fuel onboard than Lewis, Heikki put it on pole by more than 0.5s, finishing fastest in every sector. We could have carried fuel for six more laps and still have been on pole.
"It was a stunning lap and a great example of driver and car being in perfect harmony. Heikki later commented that the lap didn't feel that quick – but this was simply because he drove impeccably and the car responded faultlessly to every one of his inputs. A fantastic achievement and a terrific feeling."
Andy Latham
Race engineer, Lewis Hamilton
"My first pole for a car I was working on was when I was an assistant engineer on Kimi Raikkonen's car at the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix.
"Back then, qualifying was an aggregate of a low-fuel and a high-fuel run. After Q1, it was very tight between us and Fernando Alonso. With race fuel in the car, Kimi then went 0.5s quicker, so I remember us feeling pretty confident for the race I remember. Unfortunately, a driveshaft failure on lap eight brought that feeling to an abrupt end.
"My first pole as a race engineer was in Montreal in 2010 with Lewis. He was fastest in every qualifying session and proved again just how much he likes the Canada circuit. I remember there being some discussion after qualifying about how long the tyres would last because we had qualified using the Option, and Red Bull, just behind us, had chosen the Prime.
"A slightly nervous night was followed by a great race from Lewis, who overtook Fernando Alonso in the second stint and then led the rest of the race."

With big plays on all areas of the field, the University of Redlands football team unleashed a 49-7 thrashing during its Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) opener against the visiting Tigers of Occidental College on Saturday in Ted Runner Stadium. Amidst "Take a Kid to the Game Night" and "Coach to Cure M.D.," the Bulldogs gave their fans plenty to remember as they came alive with awesome execution en route to the sixth-highest offensive output in the history of the program.
With senior quarterback Chad Hurst (Dixon, CA) back in the lineup after a week hiatus, the Maroon and Gray quickly found its rhythm on an efficient five-play, 88-yard drive to the promise land on its opening possession. After finding junior wide receiver Taylor Irwin (Rocklin, CA) and junior tight endDaryl Andersen (Grand Terrace, CA) on consecutive plays, Hurst connected with senior wide receiver Peter Adams (Laguna Niguel, CA) for 36 yards into the Tiger end zone. It was a sign of things to come, as Adams played a key part in the Bulldogs' 630 yards of offense by amassing the third-most receiving yards in single-game history with 221.
After the Bulldog defense forced the opponents to punt on fourth-and-10, Redlands continued to charge, orchestrating a rush-dominant series for a 14-0 lead. Irwin tallied 24 yards on the ground, only to be surpassed by Hurst with his 30-yard scoring carry.
Occidental's ensuing drive moved the ball all the way to the Redlands 35-yard line but senior defensive back Brandon Morris (Mission Viejo, CA) halted the Tigers' efforts with his first of two interceptions on the night. The Bulldogs converted this opportunity into a 34-yard field goal by junior Kevin Grady (Seattle, WA), making it 17-0 at the start of the second quarter.
After Grady split the uprights on a 43-yard field goal, Occidental was on the move from its own 22-yard line to the Bulldogs' 34. But Morris once again changed the Tigers' plans by hauling in his second interception and running it back 31 yards for a huge play.
This inspired a six-play, 50-yard drive by the Maroon and Gray, bookended by senior running back Brad Crisanty's (Granite Bay, CA) 27-yard and seven-yard runs.
Up 27-0, Redlands clearly owned the momentum, as shown by senior defensive back Carter Hersey's (Tacoma, WA) safety upon a bad snap during a Tiger punt attempt with five minutes left in the second quarter.
Minutes later, senior linebacker Justin Butler (Poway, CA) nabbed an Oxy pass for the Bulldogs' third interception of the night, which came at just the right time as the opponents were knocking on the door at the Maroon and Gray four-yard line.
With seconds to go in the first half, Hurst launched a surprise air attack with an 80-yard bomb to Adams for the touchdown.
During the third quarter, Redlands continued to move the ball well while stymieing any Tiger opportunities. Crisanty carried the ball 23 yards to the house and Hurst found junior quarterback-turned-wide-receiver Daniel Davis (Seattle, WA) on a seven-yard strike to complete the offensive onslaught.
Occidental avoided the shut-out with a 16-play, 93-yard drive early in the fourth quarter, as junior quarterback Tommy Edwards (Sherman Oaks, CA) forced his way through the Bulldog line for a one-yard scoring carry.
Offensively, Adams uncorked a career-game with 221 yards on 10 catches for two touchdowns, placing him in the Bulldog record book with the third-most receiving yards for a single game.
Hurst went 20-for-35 for a total of 352 yards as the team's starter, while Crisanty served as the Bulldogs' top ball-carrier, racking up 116 yards on 15 attempts.
Redlands recorded three sacks on the night, with Butler, sophomore defensive lineman Adonis Downey (Fontana, CA), senior defensive linemanZack Andrews (Santa Ynez, CA), sophomore defensive lineman Jordan Bixler (Redlands, CA), and senior linebacker Sean Woods (Victorville, CA) contributing on these big plays.
Senior linebacker Jordan Garcia (Carlsbad, CA) led the defense with six tackles, while the Bulldogs gained at least one hit from multiple members of the team.
Redlands (1-2, 1-0 SCIAC) looks to ride this newfound momentum into Saturday's game against the visiting Kingsmen of Cal Lutheran University at 7 p.m. in Ted Runner Stadium.

My overarching professional interest is to understand the interactions that sustain brain function as they occur on the molecular, neural, and social levels. Until recently my research has mainly concerned computational modeling at the neural systems level, and I have written a textbook on this topic. My current research focuses on computer modeling of the molecular interactions that underlie brain function in health and disease.
My recent scholarly work involves exploring analogies between neural and social systems. I have taught in all areas of neuroscience but my current teaching is divided between an advanced course in molecular and integrative physiology and a survey course on society and the brain. I maintain an interest in technology transfer, which began with the development of a self-aiming camera that was designed on the basis of a neural system model. I look forward in future work to new insights derived from further multilevel explorations.

I wrote the prior piece just a couple of days after the incident occurred and we were still uncertain of what the next steps would be but now a couple of weeks later after everything has been settled here is how it went down for our specific incident.
The homeowners are not local to Merida and use a property manager (PM) for meeting guests and upkeep of the property.The PM would serve as our point of contact during our stay. After the damage to the glass stove top cover was done and we had most of the mess cleaned up, we contacted the PM and told her what had happened. We were told that she would be in touch with the owners and someone would most likely come by the home in a day or two to assess the damage and help get a quote for the cost of a replacement piece.
After a couple of days the PM herself arrived to measure the cover area and look for the make and model of the stove. Of course this particular appliance was a German import and we struggled to find any information on replacement pieces online. After failed attempts to find any ideas of price online, we prepared ourselves for the worst.
Our week in Merida came to a close and we still had not heard back on the cost of the replacement but were told that the hosts were aware and would be in touch with us once they had a quote. We could sense that our hosts were quite understanding and we appreciated their forgiving demeanor. Still uncertain of what would happen next, we headed home.
Once we arrived back home, Airbnb prompted us to review our stay. This was one of our best experiences with Airbnb as far as how easy going everything was from checking in and out, the beauty of the property, amenities and support from the property manager. Even though we had this unfortunate accident, we still hoped that the hosts would allow us to come and stay again on any future visits to Merida.
We were so relieved to receive this message from our host. Not only was the cost for the replacement lower than we had anticipated but they also welcomed us back and offered us a discount on a future stay. Needless to say, we can't wait to return and have already been planning our trip back.

Here is what our step by step process through the Resolution Center on Airbnb looked like:
Reflecting on what we should have done before the PM left the property lead me to this quick checklist for the next time I stay in an Airbnb:
The outcome in this situation was better than expected and the resolution was quite seamless and painless. One key element for us during this whole situation was keeping good communication with the PM and our host. We can't wait to return and now that we have seen what can happen in a bad situation are more confident to try other properties offered on the site.

I am a mother of a 5 month old who we recently moved to his own crib (after sleeping in our room in a bassinet). Before we moved him, he was nursing quite frequently at night. I did not mind this but it seems that sleeping close to me became more stimulating and was keeping him awake. Now that he is moved, he sleeps a lot better and I get up to nurse him 2 or 3 times a night.
Because of this he is now wanting to comfort nurse a lot more during the daytime. I have not minded this either, however, most of the time I am not able to get him to sleep anywhere except if he is comfort nursing. My concern is that he is not getting that great of sleep and he seems to be ultra-sensitive to being overtired. My husband has also been having a difficult time consoling him now since he won't accept any other means of sucking. This is becoming exhausting and we do not know what the next step should be. I do not want to deny my son the comfort that he needs but we are running out of soothing options and energy!

Every now and then, a good film or play can gain an added resonance when it coincides with current events. Lisa D'Amour's portrayal of two destructive marriages, Detroit, is enjoying a sold-out off-Broadway run at a time when its eponymous city is in the public eye. The Tigers made it to the World Series; one of its native sons ran for president; and a documentary about its challenges is playing in movie theaters (see pg. 26). At the same time, Edward Albee's classic portrait of toxic married couples, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" has returned to Broadway in another revival.
Unfortunately, the play is not really about the city of Detroit; it could just as easily be called "Tulsa," "Kansas City" or "Jacksonville," and the setting could be the suburbs of any of these cities. Nor does it achieve the catharsis that Albee's absurdist domestic drama continues to deliver even 50 years after it first shocked Broadway audiences and filmgoers. "Detroit" does, however, dwell on the effects of the joblessness that both presidential candidates promise to address if elected. And the closing scene of the play—involving actual fire on stage—deals with the demons in many a family these days. As such, "Detroit" is an important and relevant addition to American theater today.
The play opens with the same situation as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?": a married couple invites another couple over to their house. But instead of the genteel-shabby residence of a college professor that serves as the setting for Albee's play, "Detroit" begins in the backyard of a home in what is now called the "first ring" of suburbia, a subdivision built in the 1960s that is in serious decline. The host couple, Mary (Amy Ryan) and Ben (David Schwimmer) have invited their new next-door neighbors, Kenny (Darren Pettie) and Sharon (Sarah Sokolovic), over for a barbecue (introducing the fire motif). Their awkward conversation is suddenly exploded by Sharon's lengthy and manic observations about the disappearance of the concept of neighbor in society today. Meanwhile, Mary and Ben's typically suburban glass sliding door tends to get jammed and the umbrella of their patio dining table keeps unfolding, finally inflicting a wound on Kenny's head (domestic dysfunction looms). We soon find out that Ben has been laid off from his job as a loan officer at a bank. The housing loan-default crisis has apparently affected the lenders as well as the borrowers. Mary works as a paralegal, while the other couple claim to have low-level jobs, which we soon come to suspect are fictional. It is then revealed that Mary has a drinking problem and Kenny and Sharon are drug addicts in recovery (maybe).
As the couples' relationship continues, Ben and Mary begin to take on Kenny and Sharon's philosophy of life. As Sharon says to Mary, "You've got to live this moment; that's all you can do." This traditional carpe-diem attitude acquires new meaning in the current atmosphere of disillusionment with the American dream and the bleak economic prospects of so many families today. This view proceeds to darken both couples' lives, turning into a dangerous hedonism and culminating in a Bacchanalian return to the backyard where the play's action began. This time the party is fueled by excessive alcohol consumption, includes some inappropriate sexual activity and concludes with some major property destruction.
Each character is given at least one powerful monologue. Sharon gets several, including those early observations about neighbors, her extremely detailed accounts of her nightmares and her angry tantrum in reaction to another neighbor's complaint about her dog. Sharon concludes her rant by shouting, "I don't even have a dog!" Mary offers a lengthy description of her unhappiness in a marriage to her unemployed husband who spends every day working on creating his own Web site. A drunken Ben finally erupts in a confession that there is no Web site and never will be, while Kenny reveals a hostile macho decadence in his description of a "boys' night out" that he invites Ben to enjoy with him.
The performances by the superb film actress Amy Ryan and the former television star David Schwimmer flesh out the play's depiction of marital frustration, and the newcomer Sarah Sokolovic displays an impressive range as a comic hysteric, sexy swinger and desperate druggie. The admirably detailed set gradually turns the realistic scenery of a typical suburban dream-house into a horrifying disaster scene.
The most original image in the play is provided by Kenny when he and Sharon host the barbecue at their house. While the burgers are really cooking onstage, Kenny describes his own version of the traditional meal. He confides that he makes the hamburgers with a ball of cheddar cheese inside. He warns the guests to be careful when they bite into them. "You might burn your mouth." The suburban lifestyle can have unintended and painful consequences.
"Detroit" would benefit from more of this originality in its language and symbolism. Perhaps it isn't fair to compare this solid drama with the theatrical couples whose company it would like to join. The play's emotional violence never approaches the monstrous fun and games of "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf," the poetry of "A Long Day's Journey into Night," the wicked humor of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" or the primal sadness of "Death of a Salesman."
"Detroit" succeeds, however, in its personalization of the discouraging situation of many American families at this time. One can only hope that it will someday be seen as a document about life in the early 21st century that, like the dramas of Clifford Odets in the Great Depression, serves mainly as a depiction of a painful American memory.

It weighs about 250 pounds, can get up to about 30 miles per hour in a burst of speed if necessary and, once the MLB playoffs are done, it may remembered as one TBS' most innovative elements of its baseball coverage.
And it has nothing to do with Cal Ripken Jr.
The network calls its Truss Cam, a large black snow-globe looking thing that fans at Dodger Stadium might have noticed peeking up above the outfield wall during Monday's NLCS Game 3.
A 360-degree gyroscopic camera often used in helicopter shots has been a new visual tool to capture a different view of players chasing down fly balls, runners going from first to third and, if needed, provide a panoramic framework of the pavilion spectators.
Van Nuys-based Pictorvision engineered the stabilized device rolling on 36 wheels to run on 200 feet of raised track from left-center to right-center field for the National League Championship Series. But the key was overcoming a huge obstacle — how to break the track apart when the center-field gates need to be open for emergency vehicles and equipment storage before and after the game.
In the last couple of days, Pictorvision's crew figured out how to incorporate ratchet latches on the 70-foot piece of track that spans dead center field, allowing the rails to come apart and slide back as the two hinged gates at the 395-foot sign swing open. Otherwise, the camera system would have been limited to just right-center field, as it was during the National League Division Series. The success of it during the Dodgers-Atlanta series inspired its expanded use for the NLCS, as it takes up just a short part of the 7-foot space that exists between the back of the wall and the start of the stairwells to the bleacher seats.
The tracks also have to sit low enough along the wall to not interfere with an outfielder reaching over the fence to make a catch, and the lens sits behind the fence as well.
"It probably provides one of the few dynamic shots left in baseball because it's all about movement instead of being stationary," said Pictorvision president Tom Hallman, standing out beyond the center-field wall Monday afternoon to supervise. "It's remarkable, a very robust system, completely wireless without batteries or cables, and it can go on a track as long as they want."
It takes two operators stationed in the center-field scaffolding to make it work, and then it's up to TBS game director Lonnie Dale to figure out how it works into the telecast.
"It's the same kind of camera you'd see on rails that go alongside a sprinter during a track meet, or along with an Olympic diver as he leaves the board and goes into the water," Dale said. "It's perfect to show vertical or horizontal movement. It's a lot like what you'd see in a video game."
The Truss Cam was one of 36 cameras used by TBS during Monday's telecast. It had it available for one of the many replay angles in NLDS Game 2 when the Dodgers' Dee Gordon was called out on a ninth-inning steal attempt, perhaps providing the closest evidence that a tag had been made in time.
If and when MLB implements a replay system, a camera like this could add the definitive replay to a challenged call if used in the ballpark during a telecast.
"Still, we could show 25 different angles of a play, but it's up to the umpire's judgment," Dale said.
Craig Barry, the senior vice president of production and executive creative director for Turner Sports, calls the Truss Cam "a one-of-a-kind technology" that's part of the network's attempt to "bring our fans closer to the game, provide more creative ways to extend story lines and improve the overall viewing experience."
As long is nothing gets derailed in the process.

Pharmacy and Medications
Calcium Glucoheptonate
Hi there, I wonder if calcium citrate and calcium glucoheptonate can be used interchangeably to avoid osteoporosis? I found calcium glucoheptonate in a syrup form for fatigue due to lack of calcium, but it is used only for fatigue due to lack of calcium. Can I use calcium in combination with other vitamins in a multivitamin for replacement of calcium or is it only calcium glucoheptonate?
Calcium citrate provides 211mg of elemental calcium for every 1 gram. Calcium glucoheptonate (also known as calcium glueptate) provides 82mg of elemental calcium for every 1 gram. That does not necessarily make calcium citrate better, but you have to take more calcium glueptate to have an equivalent dose of elemental calcium.
Aside from the amount of elemental calcium provided, calcium salts can differ in the amount of calcium absorbed by the body, and tolerability of side effects (stomach upset, etc.). If you are experiencing fatigue due to low calcium, the form in which you replace calcium should not matter. If your other vitamins or multivitamins provide enough calcium, then you may not need additional supplementation with calcium glueptate.
I recommend checking the labels of the vitamin or multivitamin products you take, and speaking with your local pharmacist about whether you require additional calcium.

This week, Pandora became the latest of the newly traded tech companies to report earnings. Here's a look at earnings reports from some tech companies that had IPOs since last year. The companies are all loosely Internet-related, though their businesses vary widely.
— July 25: Zynga Inc. says it lost money and received less revenue than anticipated in the second quarter because "CityVille," ''FarmVille" and other games are not attracting as many paying players as they should. Its stock tanked and dragged Facebook's shares as well because the social networking icon relies on Zynga for a good chunk of its revenue — 12 percent last year. Revenue fell below Wall Street forecast, while expenses grew. The company says the number of players increased only because it got more players from its acquisition of OMGPop, the maker of the mobile game "Draw Something." Zynga began trading on Dec. 16, 2011.
Angie's List Inc. reports that its losses are still piling up as the company spends more to lure people to its online business-review service and persuade them to pay to see ratings on everything from plastic surgeons to sewer cleaners. Angie's List began trading on Nov. 17, 2011.
— July 26: Facebook Inc. says revenue grew 32 percent to $1.18 billion in the second quarter, slightly above analyst expectations. It had a net loss of 8 cents per share, mainly due to stock compensation expenses following its IPO. Adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share matched Wall Street's expectations. Investors weren't impressed and after a brief spike, Facebook's stock tumbled. It was Facebook's first quarterly earnings report since public trading began on May 18, 2012. Facebook now has 955 million users, up about 50 million during the quarter.
— Aug. 1: Online review site Yelp Inc. reports a smaller net loss and sharply higher revenue than Wall Street expected, surpassing analysts at a time when many of its fellow freshly public Internet companies are taking a beating from investors. Its outlook was also better than anticipated. Yelp began trading publicly on March 2, 2012.
— Aug. 2: LinkedIn Corp.'s net income fell in the latest quarter as the professional networking site spent more money to grow its business. But revenue grew faster than expected, and the company raised its forecast for the year. LinkedIn began trading publicly on May 19, 2011.
— Aug. 7: Jive Software Inc., which makes Facebook-type social networks for businesses, reports a smaller loss and higher revenue. But the midpoint of its full-year guidance falls below analysts' expectations. It began trading on Dec. 13, 2011.
— Aug. 13: Online deals website Groupon Inc. says its quarterly earnings beat Wall Street's profit estimates, but it underwhelmed analysts with sales growth hurt by unfavorable currency movements. A weaker euro and U.K. pound meant that sales made in Europe got converted back into fewer U.S. dollars. Groupon began trading publicly on Nov. 4, 2011.
— Aug. 14: Shares of Angie's List suffers the biggest one-day drop and closes at a new low following the expiration of a ban that had prevented some investors from dumping millions of additional shares. The price dropped, even though there was no word on whether any of the major investors had dumped their shares.
— Aug. 16: Facebook's stock hits all-time low after the expiration of a similar ban.
— Aug. 20: Facebook's stock trades below $19 — half its IPO price — for the first time, though it bounces back to close at $20.01. It's disclosed that Peter Thiel, one of Facebook's earliest investors and a member of its board, was among the insiders selling stock after a lockup expired a few days earlier.
— Wednesday: Pandora Media Inc. reported results that resonated well on Wall Street, even though the Internet radio service's losses widened. The setback was offset by evidence that Pandora's efforts to attract more listeners and sell more advertising on mobile devices are paying off. And Pandora's management predicted the company's performance in the current quarter will be better than analysts had expected.

Hong Kong ushers in the year of the horse, hoping for vigorous growth in auspicious time
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
HONG KONG – Chinese communities around the world were ushering in the year of the horse starting Friday with equine-themed decorations and celebrations.
The annual Lunar New Year holiday is marked with a particular verve in Hong Kong, the semi-autonomous Chinese financial center that expects nearly 8 million visitors from Jan. 29 to Feb. 6 — more than the local population of 7.1 million. Most of those travelers will be mainland Chinese, who have been flooding into Hong Kong in increasing numbers in recent years thanks to rising incomes and a strengthening yuan.
Like all animals in the Chinese zodiac, the horse sign comes imbued with certain characteristics, such as vitality, loyalty, steadfastness and a sense of adventure. The year of the horse is generally considered an auspicious time, and business-savvy residents of Hong Kong are hoping for vigorous growth.
The year is considered especially significant for Hong Kong's vibrant horse racing scene, which boasts two world-class tracks and legions of enthusiastic fans.

If seeds set the growing season into motion, then seed catalogs are the precursors to the process — igniting the twinkle in the eye and a rush of the blood in the gardener who has been biding her time through the dormant winter.
If seeds set the growing season into motion, then seed catalogs are the precursors to the process — igniting the twinkle in the eye and a rush of the blood in the gardener who has been biding her time through the dormant winter.
It's no wonder we all relish this initial step of reacquaintance and renewal. Each year — as with Paris runway collections — offerings are different and you never know what will flip your switch! By now I think it's old hat for me, but actually there are plants I have the sudden urge to possess as I see them on the page or read their descriptions.
I love to look at the pages and read the promises and be the first to see the new introductions next to tried and true cultivars. It must be done in intervals lest I become overwhelmed. I'm currently on vacation rotating between grading students' papers, reading novels (one on Hemingway's life, the other by Zadie Smith) and the plethora of garden magazines and catalogs that I've stockpiled.
Although I order online, I like the process of scanning the pages of catalogs which are nearer to the real thing than a computer-image (for the same reason I read the newspaper in hand). The first bit of advice I have for making selections is to make a basic list of what you're looking for before you fall under the spell of so many beguiling plants, that possibly you don't need or have time to propagate. I keep myself focused as I make selections — struggling between fantasy and reality. Do I really want to spend the entire summer in overalls, bent over the soil? (Well, yes and no!)
Most catalogs will tell you everything from the hardiness to the number of weeks from sow to bloom and if they have chalked up any awards or whether they're new introductions. But I like the actual write-ups that describe each plant, especially when words like "enraptured" and "an effect of sun shining through stained glass" accompany light and water requirements. Then it becomes more than a quest for a plant but a quest for an experience.
In Select Seeds, which personalizes their catalog with faces and commentary by their staffers — I found a mesmerizing assortment of potential botanical pleasures. My first round of picks include a new introduction of heliotrope 'Sweet Heaven' which boasts a "sweet almond and lilac scent" Overtones of raspberry fragrance rather than the diminutive form account for my choice of Mignonette 'Machet' said to have been brought back from Egypt by Napoleon for his Josephine. "She named it 'mignonette' or 'little darling" and it's been in circulation since 1889!
It doesn't take much study to see what influences my choices. Scent. Thus one or two Sweet Peas will inevitably land in my shopping cart. The colors I especially like are "Black Knight" and "Lady Grisel Hamilton.," offered by the same catalog. I know they're rather common, but I like the Chinese Forget-Me-Not 'Chill Out' a self-sowing annual that bees also love.
A garden wouldn't be complete without some colorful zinnias, but not the ones seen all around town. One that jumped out at me is a vintage variety of Zinnia 'Peppermint Stick' that is quoted as "a flower of exceptional merit in the Olds Seed Catalog in 1954" the result being a stippled effect on the luscious poms. I am drawn to the same artistic affect in the heirloom Morning Glory 'Carnelale de Venezia' . What a combination it would make climbing aside Morning Glory 'Grandpa Ott's' another heirloom that in fact inspired the start of the Seed Saver's Exchange. By the same token, hollyhocks —the single versions are scarce at nurseries — are on my hit list. Hollyhock 'Nigra' has been pleasing peepers since 1831 and partners well with practically anything. In some corner of my mind my father is perhaps three years old and standing against a barn door dwarfed by hollyhocks — so you find these catalogs have a way of reaching deep within.
No less fetching are the writeups in John Scheepers' Kitchen Garden Seeds catalog, which places the vegetable in front and flowers at the back. Here are delightful rhapsodies of every conceivable vegetable accompanied by exquisite drawings. There is a strong sense of the personal; as managing director Jo-Ann van den Berg-Ohms states: "You inspire us and remind us that the power of planting must never be underestimated. It is incredible how just one life crafted around the garden and kitchen can impact and inspire children and friends." I am one of those children who watched the magic firsthand in my parents' garden and kitchen.
Still I'm not sure where my father would go with eight pages devoted to greens! Among these are a mouth-watering assortment of lettuces like an Austrian heirloom called "Troutback" for its red-speckled leaves or 'Jericho Romaine' — "bred in Israel's searing heat and forgiving of occasional lapses in watering or of heat spikes."This description of 'Blushed Butter Oak Lettuce' seems straight out of the J. Peterman genius, evoking a kind of experience: "There we stood with the breeder in his amazing lettuce trial garden in Oregon. Golden shafts of setting sunlight glinted on the wavy-leaf, bronze-red shaded lettuce. We had tasted twelve varieties of lettuce or more, but after one ambrosial bite of Blushed Butter Oak, we knew we had found the 'one.'" A catalog that can make poetry of vegetables merits a place beside Hemingway on my desk, and you can bet it will be saved and referred to as the season goes on.
Something these catalogs offer which is useful, particularly for beginners, is a suggested plan of planting — such as Scheepers' "Back to Basics Veggie Garden" which will get you beans, carrots, cucumbers, fancy lettuce, spinach, squash and beefsteak tomatoes — something on the order of 3,000 seeds — for around $20. Or Select Seeds' "Busy Bee Eco-Garden," a collection put together by the resident beekeeper who observed which flowers the bees migrated to the most.
For roughly $14 you get six packets including: Bee Balm, Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate, Poppy 'Danish Flag', Prickly Poppy, Sunflower and Sweet Alyssum. Do the math and rethink how you buy your vegetables or flowers at the supermarket, where the choices are slim and frequently disappointing. Of course, you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and take a chance.
Ordering seeds isn't just a straightforward, practical endeavor. It's whimsy, nostalgia and dreamscape that begins in the single act of placing a little seed into the medium where it will hopefully flourish and delight!
"For gardeners, this is the season of lists and callow hopefulness; hundreds of thousands of bewitched readers are poring over their catalogues, making lists for their seed and plant orders, and dreaming their dreams."
— Katherine S. White, excerpted from "Onward and Upward in the Garden.

The Department of Education on Tuesday announced the guidelines governing the $500 million in Race to the Top grants that it sees as a tool to reshape preschool education in America.
Last year, the Race to the Top competition awarded some $4 billion for use in K-12 education, and cash-strapped states nationwide undertook new education reforms to try to qualify for the program. The Obama administration has for months signaled its desire to have a similar effect on pre-K education.
Now, with the new guidelines for the competition, called the Early Learning Challenge, it is clear that the administration wants states to develop a public rating and improvement system for early-childhood programs.
Some worry such as step could eventually lead to high-stakes evaluations in preschools. Supporters, however, say that the competition's goal is to encourage states trying to build a coordinated preschool system that, in many cases, barely exists.
"We're in the very nascent stages – just at the beginning of what it means to provide education to children at these ages," says Lisa Guernsey, director of the Early Education Initiative at the New America Foundation. But, she hopes, this challenge "lays out an important vision for quality improvement and coordinating what is right now a really messy non-system."
States seeking to enter need to apply by mid-October, and a "handful" of winners will be announced in December. The guidelines of the competition recognize the variation in terms of what states have in place now, so much of the scoring will be based on states' plans to improve early-childhood education, rather than their track record.
"The overarching goal of this challenge is to make sure that many, many more children enter kindergarten ready to succeed," said Secretary of Education Arne Duncan in a conference call.
How the money can be used
None of the money will go toward expanding early-childhood learning slots or adding preschoolers to the rosters; rather, it will be used to help set up the systems, standards, and staffing necessary for high-quality programs.
"How can our children compete for the jobs of tomorrow when they're already behind by the time they've started kindergarten?" said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, on the same conference call. HHS, which distributes much of the federal money for childhood and early-learning programs, is a partner in the grant program. And the standards, she says, will emphasize behavioral, social, and physical health as well as academics.
When the draft criteria were first announced last month, some people worried that the administration was trying to move high-stakes testing – so controversial in K-12 classrooms – down to preschoolers.
The guidelines still don't say exactly how assessments and data can be used when it comes to rewarding or punishing teachers. But Secretary Duncan and others in the administration emphasized that the assessments they're talking about are not standardized tests, but are more observations necessary to evaluate programs and students and to improve instruction.
"We will never ask 3-year-olds to take bubble tests," he says. "That would be ludicrous."
Jacqueline Jones, a senior adviser to Duncan on early learning, reiterated that "we're talking about assessment in a broad context,… in which teachers gather information about children," and said it is "tied to understanding how children our learning, how we can improve programs, and how teachers can develop the skills they need."
States have already started
Some states already have fairly sophisticated quality rating and improvement systems, and others have come a long ways in coordinating their birth-to-5 programs with early-learning councils.
"Many of the states are farther along than people realize," says Jim Squires, a senior research fellow at the National Institute for Early Education Research. "For the states that may receive the grants, this really provides a tipping point for them."
Pennsylvania, for instance, already has a fairly coordinated early-learning system, says Ms. Guernsey, while Colorado and Florida do a good job at data collection. Other states were early adopters of rating systems, while Virginia implemented one more recently, learning a lot from other states.
"No one state jumps out as having everything," Guernsey says.
As with the other Race to the Top grants, an outside panel of judges will score the applications. They will award points for:
- Developing high-quality, accountable programs along with a common rating and improvement system. (75 points)
- The state's past track record and plan for implementing the grant. (65 points)
- Having high-quality standards and assessments in place. (60 points)
- Developing credentials and improving professional development for early-childhood educators. (40 points)
- Whether the state has an early-learning data system or a kindergarten-readiness test. (40 points)
Duncan and others said they hope the application process – as with the earlier Race to the Top – helps states improve their early-learning systems whether or not they receive a grant, and that the judges will look both at how far states have come as well as their plans going forward.
Still, it's a difficult time for many early-learning programs, with budgets being cut at both a federal and state level.
"So much of being 'achievable' depends on federal money," notes Guernsey, citing one of the criteria administration officials have said they'll be emphasizing. "This is going to be an enormous challenge for states struggling with major budget shortfalls."
Guernsey is also disappointed that the challenge doesn't do more to encourage coordination between early-learning systems and elementary schools. "It's a missed opportunity," she says.

It never takes long for an event like Super Bowl Week to become a theatre of the absurd, so why should anyone have been surprised to see dozens of reporters crowded around a strange-looking guy in a stocking cap and sleeveless muscle shirt for more than an hour while he delivered a rambling manifesto about his special brand of miracle supplements and therapeudic devices?
That would be Mitch Ross, of course, the guy at the center of the SI.com "deer antler" story a few days ago that made Ray Lewis temporarily divert attention from his "last ride" to deny that he never, ever used any banned performance-enhancing substances.
We'll have to take Ray at his word for the moment, though Ross's sidewalk sermon included some juicy details and no one has denied his past association with former Ravens coach Hue Jackson (who has apologized for putting the Ravens in this embarrassing situation). There's no smoking gun – or gentle hoofbeat, for that matter – so this story will fade into a seedy corner of our collective Super Bowl memory.
But while we're on the subject, here's a question for you to ponder: If you were a multi-million-dollar athlete with access to the best medical care in the world and you were offered the sports supplement equivalent of fairy dust, would you eat it?
Unfortunately, for the past 20 years, athletes in just about every big-time sport have answered with a resounding "Yes," so who knows what to believe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co. said it is recalling 128,696 Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles due to a problem with fracturing wheel studs.
The recall involves 2010-11 vehicles that were outfitted with 17-inch steel wheels, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
The recall is further restricted to cars built April 1 through April 30, 2009 or between Dec. 1, 2009, through Nov. 13, 2010, The Detroit News reported Saturday.
Safety regulators said the problem could cause the vehicle to vibrate and, in time, cause the wheels to separate from the car.
Ford said dealers would provide a free inspection and replace rear brake discs affected by the problem, if necessary.
Consumers can call 866-436-7332 for information.

The Executive MBA
You know that an MBA can improve your financial security, power in the workplace and standing in the global economy… but do you know how you're going to make it happen? Go back to school full-time and quit your job? Resign yourself to a local but less-prestigious program? Sacrifice interpersonal relations and knowledge exchange for a purely long-distance option?
We have a better idea.
Keep your job. Don't put your life on hold. Blend the on-campus cohort experience with the convenience and flexibility of distance learning and do so under the auspices of the most rigorous business school accreditation in the world.
What will you get with a Harbert College of Business Executive MBA?
Fiscal Honesty
Our tuition includes EVERYTHING. We don't nickel and dime you with expenses. We cover instructional materials, housing at Auburn, most meals while on campus, airfare and lodging during the International Experience, cap and gown rental, graduation fees—you name it, we cover it. Tuition is locked in and will not change while you are in the program.
Take this program from anywhere – it travels with you. We've had people join our program because they needed to transfer from one area of the country to another and had to stop their local program. This doesn't happen with the Auburn Executive MBA because it goes where you go.
Residency combined with distance learning – most programs are one or the other. We're not going to make you into second-class citizens by always keeping thousands of miles between yourself and your professors and classmates. We want to preserve your ability to keep progressing in your current career. By meeting your peers face-to-face, you'll have the opportunity to build a stronger human network, and by doing some of your coursework through our innovative distance program, you won't have to interrupt your career to improve it.
All programs blend traditional instruction with modern technology and are fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools fo Business (AASCB International).

The reports out of Florida have been extremely positive about Ryan Howard as he recovers from his July 10 left knee surgery and Phillies reliever Michael Stutes says there is reason for optimism.
Stutes returned to the Phillies on Friday. He last pitched on June 22 and was placed on the disabled list two days later with right biceps tendinitis.
Stutes didn't undergo surgery, just extensive rehabilitation in Florida and he says Howard is one of the people he had been working out with on a daily basis.
"He has been working extremely hard," Stutes said. "I know it's kind of your job if you are hurt, that you are supposed to be working, but he is in much better shape and looking a lot quicker on his feet and I think he will surprise some people."
Stutes said that it helped working out with a player like Howard who helped push him in his own workouts.
"I got to see first-hand how much work he was putting in," Stutes said. "I would like not to have been there and watching on an everyday basis, but I was there and he was impressive to work with."
As for Stutes, he says he's glad to be back before the end of the season. This will ease his mind going into the offseason.
"That was big for me, if nothing else to show the coaching staff I am healthy instead of taking somebody else's word for it," Stutes said. "Now they can get their own eyes on some impressions."
Stutes says he was never hurt before last year when he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder June 26. He made the opening day roster last season, but only appeared in six games before being placed on the disabled list April 22.
Stutes said he was healthy coming into this season.
He began the season with Lehigh Valley and was recalled May 24 and pitched until June 22.
"I threw a lot in the beginning of the season and maybe I should have been a little more cautious coming off an injury," Stutes said. "Now I know you can't just come the first day back going 110 miles per hour and you have to walk before you run."

CAMP December Newsletter: Page 8
Congressman Bill Owens Congratulates Clarkson University on $440K in Science Funding from NIH
Professor Silvana Andreescu
Congressman Bill Owens announced $440,000 worth of funding from the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for a Clarkson University team, led by Chemical & Biomolecular Science Professor Silvana Andreescu. The team will develop a novel sensing technology for real-time monitoring of neurotransmitters. The technology will be used to study neurophysiological events in collaboration with neurophysiologists and medical doctors at Dartmouth Medical School.
"This is great news for Clarkson as well as the Village of Potsdam," Owens said. "This funding will allow Clarkson to continue the tremendous work for which the facility is known, and give us a greater understanding of diseases and the cures that prevent them. I would like to thank Dr. Silvana Andreescu and the rest of her department for their hard work in this field, as well as President Collins for the leadership and guidance he provides our community."
The funding will allow Professor Silvana Andreescu and her team to develop a novel sensing technology for real-time monitoring of the chemical substances (like lactate and glutamate) associated with neural signaling and function during oxygen deprivation in the brain. This technology will provide real-time assessment of the changes in these neurological factors and provide answers to fundamental questions related to the biochemical and cellular events involved in conditions of oxygen deprivation.
