DENVER (AP) -- Colorado is receiving nearly $30 million in federal money over four years to accelerate the state's early learning programs.
The grant funding announced Thursday is part of "Race to the Top" money aimed at early childhood education programs. Colorado was among five states awarded the latest funding because they were all finalists in last year's competition.
Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon and Wisconsin are also receiving funds.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper says the state is committed to helping children be ready for kindergarten and learning to read by the third grade.
Late last year, nine states won a collective $500 million for early learning programs. Thirty-five states along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico had applied.
The contest is administered by the Education and Health and Human Services departments.

A Nevada rancher has sued the federal government for $30 million, alleging its actions resulted in the shutdown of his operation without compensation.
In his suit filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., Ben Colvin of Goldfield accuses the government of an illegal "taking" of private property.
He filed the suit Aug. 16, a little over two years after the U.S. Bureau of Land Management confiscated 62 of his cattle and auctioned them off. He announced it over the weekend.
"The federal government has been trying to wipe me out financially and now has left me with no choice but to seek damages," Colvin said in a statement.
"They have the power to confiscate my property under the Constitution, but that same Constitution guarantees me compensation for that property," he added.
BLM spokeswoman JoLynn Worley said Sunday that she could not comment on the suit until she had a chance to read it.
BLM officials have said they confiscated Colvin's cattle as a last resort after he repeatedly grazed them on federal land without a permit and in violation of regulations intended to stem overgrazing. They said Colvin had refused since 1995 to pay grazing fees.
Colvin has denied the charges, saying he paid the fees and that overgrazing was impossible because his cattle were grazing on about 650,000 acres.
In his suit, Colvin contends the government's actions prevented him from using his vested water and forage rights on his grazing allotments.
He's seeking the $30 million under the Fifth Amendment guarantee that private property shall not be taken without just compensation.
"The United States terminated Colvin's lease and preference grazing rights without justification, thus attempting to prevent him from accessing his water rights, forage rights and other range rights," said his lawyer, Mike Van Zandt of San Francisco.
Colvin's suit is similar to one filed by Nevada rancher Wayne Hage, who's awaiting a May 2004 trial to determine compensation owed him for what he calls the government taking of his property.

All about money. Look at the QB money being thrown around.
You think Art wants to pay that? I don't. And to be honest in this offense? He'd be a fool to do it.
So he sabotages Ben's career, makes him out to be the bad guy when he snaps, and saves millions doing it.
Short term pain, for long term gain.

It isn't good enough as a mainstream desktop.
You can't install Ubuntu with Firefox, a pdf reader, Flash and OpenOffice and trust it to auto-update everything for at least 2 years. Something will get screwed up at some point.
Program and system updates aren't the only issue but it is one that needs to be addressed. Maybe going towards rolling releases is the answer but there isn't currently one that is targeted at novice users.
If Linux was good enough as a mainstream desktop then it would have more than 1% share. Novice computer users run into problems with Linux and people like you refuse to acknowledge that these problems even exist. Maybe you should spend some time in Ubuntu forums to see what new users have to go through.

Nestled in the highlands north of Padang in the Agam valley, the town of Bukittinggi or 'high hill' is West Sumatra 's cultural center. While Padang may be the modern commercial and administrative hub, Bukittinggi is a bustling market town.
Although it is less than a degree south of the equator, Bukittinggi has a refreshingly cool climate due to its elevation – over 900 meters above sea level. While it rains here often, this is not enough to deter travelers who come to enjoy what many claim is the most hospitable city in Sumatra.
The town also has an alternative name, Tri Arga, which refers to the three majestic mountains that shape the regions fortunes.
Many visitors come to Bukittinggi to visit the remarkable Ngarai Sianok Canyon where giant rock cliff faces, rugged trees which grow on top and the dramatic surrounding mountains make this canyon a spellbinding view.
This is an ideal place to go if you want to get beyond the average tourist trail. Compared to other spots in Sumatra, Bukkitinggi only receives a handful of visitors that use the town as a base for nearby hikes or to take cultural tours to the Minangkabau highland.

How Uz Leuven make Progress
UZ Leuven is one of Belgium's largest hospitals and one of the most respected medical institutions in Europe. UZ Leuven had ambitious plans to work intensely together with eight other healthcare providers to form a new group: Nexus Health.
To execute on this collaboration strategy, UZ Leuven IT knew that it had to prepare infrastructure to scale (up to four times the current size) if it were to manage this growth while upholding the organization's reputation for reliability and quality of care.

The pitchers are going to miss Drew Stubbs defense in CF.
The pitchers are going to miss Drew Stubbs defense in CF.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.
John Wooden
I've always been higher on Bruce in CF than most. Just love his arm, i guess.
So I'll go with Bruce, but I also think that if this is the case, they need to *start* spring training with the mindset that he is going to be there or there's going to be a 100% pure tryout (rather than Choo being the default with Bruce only stepping in if he fails). He's going to need that time to readjust in that mindset.
Additionally, while I know the stats, I haven't seen enough of Choo in the outfield to have a strong opinion about it.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
When in doubt, go with the younger guy -- Bruce.
Cincinnati Here We Go.
26 Years and Counting...
Choo's arm is not an upgrade to Bruce's. I like the best arm in RF to protect 3rd and a good Right Fielder makes a Center Fielder better.
Bruce looks like he would be better in CF than Choo, but is it worth it? From a pitching perspective, I don't think either of them will replace the confidence they had in Stubbs, but Bruce would probably be better from that perspective. However, it is a pretty small center field and I wonder how much of a difference that will make? For that reason, I think I'd like to see Choo there at least until he proves he can't do it.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
On an unrelated note, what the heck happened with Ludwick last year? In researching the fielding stats for Choo/Bruce, I noticed that Ludwick didn't tally a single assist last year. That's from a guy who posted 35 assists in four years prior to his arrival in Cincinnati.
Last edited by Steve4192; 12-13-2012 at 03:44 PM.
From the eye test, I think Choo's arm may be a bit better than Bruce's. There was an article last year that said some AL Scouts thought it was better than Ichiro's, even when Ichiro first came up.
Domo Arigato, Here Comes Joey Votto
"I do what I want to do and say what I want to say."
--Bronson Arroyo
I'm just looking at the chart posted in this thread, from which it looks like Choo's arm is not as good as Bruce's. I've not seen the kid play but a few times, but I know what I see from Bruce which is definitely elite.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
It won't matter much who's out there, IMO.
It is, at this point, what it's going to be. They'll likely have a poor CF defensively who will make up for that with offensive numbers. No matter who's out there, the difference between that person and the Drew Stubbs we saw in 2012 looks to be a pretty massive improvement. Neither Choo nor Bruce are going to be more than 20 runs below replacement (as it's almost impossible to be that bad with decent defenders to both sides of you-- which either CF would have-- and the few outs hit to you per game). Add on three pitchers who profile as ground ball guys (Cueto as an extreme example of that) on the starting staff, and you have to figure that it doesn't mean all that much in the overall scheme of things one way or another.
Tilting at windmills, and all that.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
Posted this in the signing thread, but if you are looking for some defensive highlights by Choo, here you go
I dont care, Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. Hes in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 14th Jan 2012 21:11 UTC
"Three weeks ago the 23-year-old UK-based administrator of a TV show and movie links site was arrested by police. The site, referred to only as TVShack, could be one of three domains of which two are already controlled by the US government after their seizure as part of Operation in Our Sites. Following his detention in the UK's largest prison, the admin is now fighting his extradition to the U.S. with the help of Gary McKinnon's lawyer." His site only linked; it did not host. The most damning point is that he was found not guilty under UK law. So, does this mean The Netherlands can request extradition of, say, Rick Santorum for his blatant anti-homosexual remarks, which are illegal under Dutch law? That would be fun.

RE: India vs. the Internet?
by zima on Sat 14th Jan 2012 21:47 UTC in reply to "India vs. the Internet?"
Don't forget China.
Remember, one of the official goals of the Great Firewall is to fight pornography (including "think of the children!" I'd guess; apart from that, also "superstitious*, violence-related*, gambling and other harmful information*")
* I believe some places still ask "sir, are you or were you a member of the communist party?" (I know it's a bit illegal at mine)
PS. Quickly checking out the above list of justifications ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall_of_China ), a one screenshot ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20090605dusanben.png ) and its description cracked me up:
"For reason which everyone knows, and to suppress our extremely unharmonious thoughts, this site is voluntarily closed for technical maintenance between 3 and 6 June 2009..." Dusanben.com (translation)
(alas, strangely many people have some weird idea that such top-down media control is absolute; it's often quite a bit more loose and/or complex - the most popular cabaret act from my place was of course laughing from the regime and its realities ...with most prominent Party members often sitting in front rows; most prominent ~rock/reggae/punk youth festival was essentially treated by the regime as "safety valve"; or consider this film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Iron which partly feels like some creative documentary ...but that's because it was allowed to be filmed, it was funded, while the events were taking place)

CARY – Monday's search of the Fox River did not yield any results into the missing person investigation of Wendy M. Kimura, police said Friday.
Divers from the Lake and McHenry counties sonar team spent five hours Monday searching for clues into Kimura's disappearance. She last was seen walking along Route 14 in Cary on May 21, 1999.
Upon receiving new information, the Cary Police Department and other agencies performed a land search around the Arlington Club subdivision and Jack's Channel on June 15.
Divers used two pieces of sonar equipment Monday near Route 14 and North River Road in the Fox River.
"This remains an open missing persons case," Cary Police Sgt. Ed Synek said. "We encourage anyone with information on the case to come forward, no matter how small."
Kimura was living in Chicago and took the train to Cary to spend the night with a friend May 20, 1999.
The friend said Kimura last was seen May 21, 1999, walking along Route 14 in Cary, perhaps to catch a train in Cary or Fox River Grove.
She was later reported missing by her mother.
The search Monday included members of the Barrington, Fox River Grove, Cary, Wauconda and Long Grove fire departments, as well as sonar teams from Lake and McHenry counties and a dive team from Cary.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Blues guitarist John Hammond will perform Friday, July 6, at 7 p.m. at the Campus Theatre in Lewisburg.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell.
This free performance is being held in conjunction with the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership's First Friday festivities. Downtown Lewisburg will be celebrating the first Friday of every month with a variety of events from now through the end of the year.
This tour engagement of John Hammond is made possible by a grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
With a career that spans over three decades, Hammond is one of handful of white blues musicians who was on the scene at the beginning of the first blues renaissance of the mid-1960s. In 2011, Hammond became a Blues Hall of Fame Inductee and received a Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist of the Year.
He has performed or recorded with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, JJ Cale, Tom Waits, The Band, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John and many more.
"John's sound is so compelling, complete, symmetrical and soulful with just his voice, guitar and harmonica, it is at first impossible to imagine improving it ... He's a great force of nature. John sounds like a big train coming. He chops them all down," said fellow musician Tom Waits.
Kathryn Maguet, executive director of the Weis Center for the Performing Arts says, "Hammond is an exceptional live performer, especially in an intimate setting like the Campus Theatre. When he combines classic blues songs with his expressive vocals, powerful guitar riffs and harmonica playing, it's obvious that he's in his element.
"He takes blues songs that in some cases may have been forgotten, and breathes new life into them. He has this wonderful capacity to channel blues legends from the past, while at the same time gracing the stage with his own immense musicality," she said.
Local musician Van Wagner will open for Hammond with an acoustic set.
Wagner, who teaches environmental science at Lewisburg High School, is active outside of the classroom as well, educating audiences with his music and programs on Pennsylvania history.
He has been selected as Conservation Educator of the Year in 2005 from Schuylkill County and in 2007 and 2009 in Union County.
His music has been featured on the History Channel and WVIA-TV as well as Country Music Television (CMT).
Wagner has released 15 original albums and published his first book, Coal Dust Rust and Saw Dust.
For more information about this event, contact Lisa Leighton, marketing and outreach coordinator, at 570-577-3727 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Religious leaders from around the country are calling for an emergency summit on the public display of the Ten Commandments in the wake of recent court decisions in Montgomery, Ala. and Adams County, Ohio.
This Friday, representatives of the National Clergy Council will travel to rural
Adams County, Ohio, where a federal judge on Tuesday ordered the removal of Ten Commandments monuments from the front lawns of five public schools. They will meet with community leaders and with Rep. Rob Portman.
The Adams County decision followed immediately an order of the Federal Court for the Middle District of Alabama ordering Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from his Supreme Court building.
Rev. Rob Schenck, president of the National Clergy Council, is founder of the National Ten Commandments Project, which has distributed hundreds of stone artwork tablets of the Ten Commandments to elected and appointed officials on Capitol Hill and around the nation for display in their public offices.
Their most recent presentation was to President Bush at the White House. The leaders of Congress also display them and the National Clergy Council displays a giant two-story banner of the Commandments on the front of its headquarters immediately across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court and visible to the justices as they come and go from the court each day.
Schenck is a personal friend and advisor to Chief Justice Moore and was present for the installation of the monument in Montgomery. He also advises the leaders of the Adams County for the Ten Commandments Committee. He is the author of The Ten Words That Will Change America: The Ten Commandments (Albury Publishing).

Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville, has filed legislation that would create a new statewide initiative aimed at shoring up workers' job skills and addressing labor shortages among Tennessee employers.
Norris' bill creates what would be called the Labor Education Alignment Program, or LEAP. The idea is to merge traditional college coursework with technical training, allowing students at the state's technology centers and community colleges an opportunity to pair occupational training in a high-skill or high-tech industry with academic credit.
Students could then apply that experience toward a degree.
"I've met with a number of industries in high-tech manufacturing ready to expand in Tennessee but for a lack of qualified employees, and I know of many Tennesseans who can't afford to attend school while sacrificing a paying job," Norris said.
The legislation is drafted so that student wages or other compensation won't affect eligibility for state need-based financial assistance or grants.
Norris and his staff consulted with major employers in Tennessee and other area states, as well as overseas, to study so-called "cooperative education" programs. Students are paid to learn while also applying what they learn at work for credit toward a degree.
Norris said it's comparable to apprentice programs of generations past. The difference is this adds a modern higher education component to address what the state's employers want: job candidates with skills needed in today's technologically advanced workforce.
The bill reads, in part:
"The purposes of this (legislation) are to establish a statewide, comprehensive labor education alignment program, also referred to as the 'program' or 'LEAP,' to enable students in technology centers and community colleges to participate in employment training and to attain industry-recognized post-secondary credentials for sustaining gainful and quality employment in this state. (It's also intended) to enable students to more adequately meet the advanced technical training needs required by current and future employers of existing and prospective industries and businesses in this state."
The legislation directs several state entities to work together to establish and carry out the initiative. And the bill already is headed toward committees in both chambers of the General Assembly.
Its focus on addressing challenges related to employment is a major focus among state leaders at the moment. Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty recently met with The Daily News and discussed that focus, among other things.
"The unemployment rate is still unacceptably high and we still see a lot of opportunity to perform better," Hagerty said. "We also look with concern at some of the recent surveys. Ohio State just put out a survey in December. It was a survey of middle-sized businesses. What the businesses said was that while they are still growing, they are growing at a slower pace in the last quarter of 2012. And they expect to grow at an even slower pace in 2013."
Beyond that, he noted there's still $2 trillion sitting on U.S. corporate balance sheets. And many companies in Tennessee and abroad, he said, are focused right now on their internal cost structure because they're trying to figure out how to implement things like the new health care reform legislation's provisions.
"Some are making adjustments to their part-time, full-time employee mix as a result of that," he said. "I would far rather see them focused on expanding their markets and hiring more people than focused on internal cost structure, trying to optimize for a regulatory regime that is still not fully defined."
Tennessee's most recent unemployment rate stood at 7.6 percent.

Nokia to Release EOS PureView Windows Phone Later This Year
The Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 920 is known for its superior image quality in low light conditions, but it lacks the jaw-dropping camera capabilities of the Nokia 808 PureView which runs on Belle OS. Will Nokia be making a true PureView Windows Phone device?
According to The Verge, sources familiar with Nokia's plans have asserted that such a device is coming later this year. The device is apparently given the codename EOS, and will incorporate the same sensor as the Nokia 808 PureView. As such, the EOS device is most likely to be a high-end Lumia model.
The Verge reported in early January that Nokia will be switching to aluminum for at least one of its high-end models for 2013. Another device, codenamed Catwalk, is said to be thinner and lighter than the Lumia 920.
Based on the positive sales numbers reported by Nokia on its Lumia 920, it is likely that Nokia will be leveraging its PureView imaging technology to boost its portfolio of Windows Phone Lumia devices and gain traction in a market dominated by Apple iPhones and Samsung devices.

A Look at Google Web Acceleratorby Jake Ludington
Anyone who remembers dial-up (or still uses it) certainly knows the agony of waiting for a page to load. Numerous tools aimed at speeding up page loading have come and gone over the years, most providing only incremental improvements. Some, such as the web acceleration built into America Online, make the browsing experience worse by compressing image files as part of the speed enhancement.
The recent beta launch of Google Web Accelerator brings renewed attention to the concept of improving page load times. Speeding up web browsing may be the goal of this new free Google tool, but it's also stirred up some controversy over what Google may be doing with the data it collects in the process. The Google beta is currently closed to new users, but if you didn't already download Google Web Accelerator, you can still watch from the sidelines in a dedicated Google Group.
Google Web Accelerator, shown in Figure 1, works a manner similar to that of other web acceleration tools. Rather than your computer relying on the DNS servers provided by your ISP, Google Web Accelerator redirects all domain lookups to Google servers, using Google as your proxy. The theory here seems to be that because Google is already caching a great deal of information about sites into memory on tens of thousands of computers at data centers, why not take advantage of all those lookups while caching your own surfing habits in the process? Copies of pages you look up are cached by Google's servers, downloading new data if the page has changed since your last viewing. Some additional pages linked to the site are downloaded to your machine in the background to beef up the experience. Compression is also used to further boost speed, although it doesn't seem to be the image-crippling experience AOL delivered. One thing Google doesn't speed up is the download of large files; for that, you still need a download accelerator like the very capable LeechGet.
Figure 1. Configure Google Web Accelerator from the toolbar's preferences

Google Hacks
The Google Web Accelerator cache is separate from the standard browser cache. If you are in the habit of frequently clearing your cache for privacy reasons, this is another item you'll need to empty. Google offers a "Clear history" option and lets you specify sites to exempt from caching as part of the preferences. Secure pages are not cached, although early beta results have indicated Google Web Accelerator incorrectly identifies some cached pages as logged in under another username.
Pulling down pages associated with other usernames isn't the only potential privacy violation associated with an app that caches your surfing habits while being affiliated with one of the world's biggest advertising networks. Google specifically indicates that Google Web Accelerator does not cache ads. One plausible reason for that might be to better target the results of Google Adwords ads on pages you view. It obviously wouldn't do Google any good to display an ad from a campaign that is already out of money, so on the one hand it's smart business to keep the old ads from coming back. On the other hand, if there were already technology in place to store versions of the pages you surf for faster loading, how hard would it be to track all the pages surfed on a specific computer, targeting ads not only to contextually relevant information on the page but also to individualized surfing habits? There's no indication that this is part of Google's plan, but it's not an impossible stretch to think such a level of targeting might increase the price of Google stock.
If you don't happen to be one of early adopters of Google Web Accelerator, you can still improve your download performance with one of the numerous other download accelerators. One that I find to be handy is FastCache from AnalogX, shown in Figure 2. FastCache runs as a DNS caching proxy on your local machine. The first time you access a site, FastCache hits the DNS servers provided by your ISP to resolve the location of a domain, just like your browser normally would. FastCache then writes the location information about that site to a file. The next time you visit the site, your browser contacts FastCache, which returns the information locally, saving you a few milliseconds of lookup time. Granted, a few milliseconds may not seem like much at first, but they add up over time.
Figure 2. FastCache provides a day's worth of time saved annually
The FastCache approach is slightly different from the approach Google Web Accelerator uses. Google Web Accelerator examines pages for changes and delivers the page either as is or with incremental alterations based on what's already in the Google Web Accelerator cache. FastCache merely caches the DNS location information of pages you visit, which saves lookup time. For something closer to the Google Web Accelerator experience, TweakMASTER from Hagel Technologies comes closer. TweakMASTER includes a DNS caching tool like FastCache's and also bundles an app called LinkFox, which is designed to preload pages in the background, similar to what Google Web Accelerator does by preloading linked pages. In addition, TweakMASTER includes several network monitoring tools that are nicely unified in one place but deliver features widely available in a variety of freeware and open source alternatives. Of course, if you are a tabbed browsing fanatic, a shell like Maxthon or IE alternative Firefox do an excellent job of downloading pages behind the scenes on a new tab.
Google Web Accelerator may ultimately be a faster way to browse. In the meantime, using existing tools incrementally improves page loading and easily saves at least a day out of every year in waiting.

Each Will Swim Two Events
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The swim season may be over for most of the women's swimming and diving team, but senior Susan Kim and freshman Alex Forrester have one more meet left, as they represent the Bulldogs at the NCAA Championships this weekend. The meet will take place Mar. 18-20 at Purdue's Boilermaker Aquatics Center in West Lafayette, Ind.
Neither Kim nor Forrester will compete on Thursday, but will begin with preliminaries Friday morning in the 100-yard breaststroke and 100-yard butterfly, respectively. The finals in those events will then be held Friday night. On Saturday, Kim will compete in the 200-yard breaststroke and Forrester will compete in the 200-yard butterfly.
Both Kim and Forrester have been seeded high in their events. In the 100-yard breaststroke, Kim qualified 19th with her NCAA B cut time of 1:00.66. The top time in the country was Ashley Danner of George Mason with a time of 59.06. Kim qualified with the seventh fastest time in the 200-yard breaststroke. Her NCAA A cut time of 2:09.37 is 1.72 seconds off the lead time of 2:07.65. That time was swum by Elizabeth Smith of Stanford.
Forrester qualified with the 12th fastest time in the 100-yard butterfly. She swam an NCAA B cut time of 52.58, just over a second off the fastest. Elaine Breeden of Stanford qualified with the fastest time of 51.24. In the 200-yard butterfly, Forrester qualified with the 11th fastest time. She again swam an NCAA B cut of 1:55.78. The fastest qualifier was Katinka Hosszu of Southern California at 1:52.71.
Kim and Forrester both dominated the Ivy League Championships on Feb. 25-27. Kim had what will surely go down as the best meet of her career. She was honored with the most prestigious award of the meet, Swimmer of the Meet, as well as three first-team and one second-team All-Ivy selections. On Thursday of the meet, she took third in the 400-yard IM and helped Yale to a second-place finish in the 400-yard medley relay. She started off Friday with a team win in the 200-yard medley relay. She then broke the pool, meet, and Ivy records en route to a dominating win in the 100-yard breaststroke. Then, in her best performance of the meet, Kim won the 200-yard breaststroke by more than five seconds. She broke the meet, pool, and Ivy records, as well as earned the first NCAA A cut of her career.
Forrester dominated the meet with three individual wins, three relay wins, and one relay second place. She earned six first-team All-Ivy selections and one second-team selection. In the 50-yard freestyle, Forrester earned an NCAA B cut with her preliminary time of 22.71. In the 100-butterfly, she broke the meet record which had held since 1997 with her time of 53.03. She also earned an NCAA B cut with her victory. In her third individual victory, the 200-yard butterfly, she broke the meet record and earned an NCAA B cut with her time of 1:55.78.

Yellowbirds Join the Freaks Ball, Share the Stage with Guster
Sam Cohen with Guster and their string players. Photo by Vernon Webb
Yellowbirds, the band led by Apollo Sunshine's Sam Cohen, have joined the lineup for this weekend's Freaks Ball at New York's Brooklyn Bowl. The group will open for the Grateful Dead tribute outfit Joe Russo is Dead during the second night of the Freaks Ball, Saturday January 26.
The first night, January 25, will feature American Babies and the Led Zeppelin cover project Bustle in Your Hedgerow. Apollo Sunshine performed at Freaks Ball in 2007.
On Saturday night, Yellowbirds wrapped-up a multi-night run with Guster at Portsmouth, NH's The Music Hall. Instead of using his own band, Cohen opened each show with touring Guster member—and former Blue Merle frontman—Luke Reynolds (the musicians live near each other in Brooklyn). In addition, string players April Guthrie and Charlene Huang, both of whom are on the road with Guster as part of their acoustic tour, sat in with Cohen for a few songs each night. Cohen also played piano with Guster during their headlining set at various points over the weekend.

Winning for only the second time in seven tries since the no hitter, Tim Lincecum rather surprisingly beat Francisco Liriano and the front running Pirates, 6-3. Supported by a four run first inning, Tim gave up three runs on three hits and four walks in his 5.1 innings. Not great but good enough. Obviously, the best part was the eight strike outs. That gives Tim 1482 career K's, which is the third highest ALL TIME in seven seasons. Any time you get to say ALL TIME, that is way cool.
Other nice stuff included three hits for Buster, Panda RBIs, and Sergio Romo's 31st save. It is safe to say that this game was better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. Which makes it a nice break.

Teenage sensation Matteo Manassero of Italy will continue his golfing education at this week's Credit Suisse Challenge, which marks his second appearance on the European Challenge Tour.
Playing under a sponsor's invitation, Manassero – the youngest, and first Italian winner of the Amateur Championship in 2009 – will aim to improve on his 42nd place finish at last month's Scottish Hydro Challenge.
The gifted 17 year old, who first came to the attention of the wider golfing public when finishing tied 13th as an amateur at The Open Championship 12 months ago, is intent on finishing in the top 20 of the Challenge Tour Rankings, should he fail to earn enough money to secure his card through his seven starts on The European Tour.
Manassero currently sits 130th in The Race to Dubai on €97,633 after making four appearances on The 2010 European Tour International Schedule since turning professional in May – with a tie for 17th at the BMW PGA Championship his highest finish to date – and the Challenge Tour is an alternative route to securing a place in The 2011 Race to Dubai, a stage he seems set to grace for many years to come.
Manassero said: "I'm really looking forward to playing the Credit Suisse Challenge, which will be my second Challenge Tour event. Even though I didn't finish as high as I would've liked I still really enjoyed my first appearance on the Challenge Tour, at the Scottish Challenge.
"The guys were very friendly and the level of competition was very high, so I'm excited about getting out there again and hopefully getting a better result this time. Obviously I would love to earn enough money on The European Tour to get my card for next season, but if not then finishing in the top 20 of the Challenge Tour Rankings is my next goal."
If he is to capture his first professional title, Manassero will have to see off eight champions from this season's Challenge Tour Schedule including runaway Rankings leader Robert Dinwiddie of England, who took the last fortnight off to recharge his batteries.
Dinwiddie will be joined in the field by his compatriot and fellow Challenge Tour champion Charlie Ford, whose fine debut season continued at last week's ALLIANZ Golf Open de Lyon, where he finished tied sixth.
Another Challenge Tour champion who produced a fine performance in Lyon was Denmark's Thorbjørn Olesen, the winner of The Princess, who finished in a tie for third place.
The ALLIANZ Open de Lyon was won by Bernd Weisberger, who will attempt to become the first back to back winner on this season's Challenge Tour Schedule when he tees up at Golf Sempachersee in Hildisrieden, Switzerland, which will host the €150,000 event for the first time.
Other notable names in the field include his compatriot Florian Praegant, who will be bidding to go one better than last year, when he lost out by one shot to former Ryder Cup player Peter Baker of England.
Baker won the event twice, in 2007 and 2009, with a victory for Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello – who subsequently triumphed on The European Tour at the Austrian Golf Open – sandwiched in between.

LOS ANGELES – Former Georgia College lefthanded pitcher Michael Antonini (2006-07) was recently traded from the New York Mets farm system to the Los Angeles Dodgers organization for major league shortstop Chin-lung Hu.
Antonini finished the 2010 season with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. The former All-American went 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in six starts, compiling 25 strikeouts over 37 innings. Prior to the call-up, he was 6-9 with a 4.32 ERA in 23 starts at Double-A Binghamton (N.Y.). Antonini is now listed on the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes roster.
Hu has spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues for the Dodgers, including 65 games in 2008. In 2010, he saw time in 14 games, hitting .130 with a double among his three hits, one RBI and two runs scored.
Antonini is one of four former Bobcats playing for MLB affiliated minor league teams in 2010. Brandon Durden was with the Colorado Rockies Double-A Tulsa team, Andrew Reichard was with the San Francisco Giants' Single-A Augusta squad, and Alex Burkard was with the AZL Angels, the Los Angeles Angels' affiliate.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

The Texas Linux Fest is a new one-day technical conference, just in its second year. I was not able to attend last year due to it being held at the same time as the 2010 Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, and this year it was looking questionable also– but thanks to Gabriel Beddingfield all obstacles were removed. Gotta love the Linux community!
The conference was held at the downtown Hilton in Austin, Texas, a great central location for the state in general. Attendance of over 550 looked to be on par with expectations, as the keynote room was full.
Delivering the keynote this year was Ken Starks of the HeliOS Project. His subject was "How Desktop Linux is Shaping the Future." I enjoyed his talk but have to admit I didn't see much of a link between the body and the title. The talk was engaging, a bit rambling, and to me was more about improving the Linux experience for end users. Continue reading

Quote from: BarensMom on October 09, 2013, 01:10:20 PMDidn't this turn out to be a "creative writing" exercise, and why the OP is no longer on the forum?I hate that. The ghost story thread has been totally ruined by that. I like a good true ghost story but there's an abundance of bad creative writing in there. I don't feel it's wrong to say so since I'm not pointing fingers (and it would definitely be more than one finger).

See, I bought into it, giving a little leeway for some "creative license" in the telling. I have had neighbors who were bat poo crazy, the most recent being the woman who tormented my dog, killed my azaleas, and has been spotted/heard going to her mailbox in 6 inches of snow wearing booty shorts, furry slippers, a tank top, and clutching a ciggy in one hand and a scotch with the other while cursing at the top of her lungs.She finally put up a fence because we were "invading her privacy" by using our patio. This time it went up on her actual property line instead of halfway across our yard.

Colleges and Schools Focus on Program-level StandardsMore than a thousand individuals joined the January edition of the AWARE webinar concerning program level standards and credit hour definitions, indicative of the strong interest in the new accreditation requirements. The new standards regarding retention, placement and licensure pass rates at the program level were adopted by Council in December and became effective Jan. 1, 2012. Sanctions for non-compliance take effect in 2013; in the interim, institutions will receive feedback through the accreditation process on the degree of compliance of their programs and appropriate remedies, including improvement provisions expressed in their Campus Effectiveness Plan (CEP). Institutions with team visits during January, February and March will receive a written review of program level performance in team reports. Institutions will have an opportunity to address the program level issues in their written response, as usual. Both sets of information will be reviewed by Council in April. (Link to Dec. 2011 Memo to the Field). For institutions not meeting the new program level standards, an improvement plan in the CEP will be sufficient for compliance in 2012.
The AWARE webinar on program level standards will be repeated on Friday, Feb. 3 at 2 p.m. EST.
As a reminder, the ACICS Criteria reflect minimum standards for programs and institutions. Continuous improvement toward excellence in program outcomes is primarily the responsibility of the institution. Student learning outcomes at a program and institutional level that reflect excellence are those of greatest interest to prospective students, funding sources and policy makers.
Substantive Change, Due Process Revised at Policy ConferenceModifications to standards and expectations regarding substantive changes and due process of Council actions were adopted during the annual ACICS Policy Conference in January. The Council developed and adopted more specific guidance about when changes to an institution's programs, credential levels, locations or ownership require a site visit between accreditation cycles. Likewise, Council adopted modifications to the due process provisions for Council actions to clarify the maximum timeframes for resolving accreditation compliance issues. Watch for more details on the revised policies in the next Memo to the Field.
November 8 - 11: Save the DateThe culmination of the ACICS Centennial year will be "100 years of Educating America," the ACICS 2012 Professional Development Conference and Annual Meeting at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

"Please stop asking us for Burnout Paradise DLC," declares the company's Twitter. "There will be no more! Sorry everyone! But we did WAY more than everyone else..." nope
Initially released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January 2008 and then PC in February 2009, the racer was supported with a variety of free and priced adds-ons, including motorcycles, new modes, and a replica of Back to the Future's DeLorean. The updates culminated in June 2009 with Big Surf Island, the only add-on to to bring new land, though neither Big Surf Island nor the Cops and Robbers DLC were released on PC.
But while Criterion has moved on--it's working on a Need for Speed entry, described as "revolutionary" and due by March 2011--it has also begun to detail the discarded ideas it had for Burnout Paradise add-ons, including playable planes and boats, time travel, and a rocket that would have taken players to (and let them race on) the moon.
