"Romney criticism of controversial cancer ad effective with swing voters."

Ouch. I can see why Obama hates Romney.
That man has Obama's number, and he's gonna push every button BHO has, until O does something extremely stupid.
- Original Mike said...
But the man's still likable, right?
This man is despicable.
"Doesn't America deserve better" is exactly the right question.
- Wally Kalbacken said...
It's a good ad, it exploits something that bothers a lot of folks in the middle. To wit, the fact that Obama will say things he knows are not true in order to satisfy political requirements of the moment. Like calling Chrysler bondholders speculators. It's time that swing voters faced that explicitly, and this ad helps them focus.
- Dante said...
So, 39 % of Iowans are independent, and if we take as 6% who consider themselves truly independent and undecided, and 6% of that, you get .14% of Iowan likely voters who were persuaded.
- chickelit said...
I blame Obama's advisors and handlers for that.
He's a patsy.
- Eric said...
Obama really has been plumbing the depths when it comes to sheer makin'-shit-up kind of campaign commercials. I guess there has to be a point at which even people who don't pay much attention realize he thinks they're just idiots.
There may be hope for this country after all.

What I'm saying is... it's not Debbie's fault. Poor thing.

"I guess there has to be a point at which even people who don't pay much attention realize he thinks they're just idiots."
Based on 53% of the electorate voting for the most liberal AND least qualified person ever nominated by a major political party for the office of president, Obama is absolutely right in thinking they are just idiots.
Honestly, aren't they?
"There may be hope for this country after all."
Maybe. Too early to tell.
Get back to me the early Wednesday morning after the election. I certainly hope you're right, of course.

Dante: as they say, every vote counts.
Mike: Bless his heart, he believes he is still likable.
- Lem said...
That's how you do an attack ad on this president.. use his own actions, or lack thereof, to speak for him.
Very well done.

I think your information on cancer treatment is not sufficient.Can you give more details so that reader can easily understand it.
Thank you for giving this information.

I'd go with "Bless her little heart" in the future.
As for the ad? It works for me, but I thought the 'It's OK to make change' RNC ad had a better msg for indies

I still don't get it. Haven't both Obama and Romney and their respective teams engaged in all kinds of lies and manipulations? Many of the partisan commentators here seem to be bright people, based on many of their remarks and observations. However, what happens to their rationality and reality testing when it comes to politics? Is it not a form of self-deception when one accuses the opposition of such terrible and contemptible actions, yet not observe and denounce it in their own political protagonist? How can this be healthy. It would create all kinds of trouble if one functioned comparably in their work, family, or social life.

Nice try. The article didn't say it ONLY moved the "truly independent and undecided", it said that it was the ONLY AD that moved such people.
Which is to say that Romney is the first person in this campaign to actually come up with an effective ad. Or, to put it another way, that Obama has been totally wasting all the money he's spent so far.
Not good news for the Democrats, since starting Monday Romney will be able to use that 50% more cash that he has in the bank.
What does a campaign want to do?
1: Get the base excited, willing to donate, volunteer, vote, and get their friends and family to vote.
2: Get those marginally attached to the campaign more attached
3: Move the undecideds to decide for the candidate
4: Get those marginally attached to the other candidate to switch, or at least stop being attached to the other candidate.
5: Depress the enthusiasm of the other side's base.
This study was about #3. And it found that the ad was a success at #3.
Was it a success at #1? Almost assuredly. "The other guy's a bad guy, and we can do better" is catnip for the base.
Was it a success at #2? Hi likelihood. "WE can do better, and you're with 'better'" is a message that works well with the marginally attached.
Was it a success at #4? Probably. The cancer stuff was total BS. It's embarrassing to be associated with something that sleazy.
Was it a success at #5? Probably not. The Democrat base is in favor of anything that leads to victory. The only "principle" they have is "we get our way." OTOH, it doesn't do anything to fire up the Obama base. (For example: an ad about how Obama wants to grow government, and make everyone more dependent upon the government, will fire up both sides bases, for their respective candidates. I don't believe that this one does that.)
In short, good ad.

Ah, the "everybody does it" defense. Your complaint requires one ignore two things: degree, and kind.
The steelworker ad is a flat out, baldfaced lie, from beginning to end. Romney wasn't at Bain when the guy was laid off (and one of Obama's big campaign bundlers was, so if it's anyone's fault, it's his, and Obama is using a killer to raise money), the wife had health insurance when he was laid off, and she was diagnosed w/ cancer six years later.
Obama's accusing Romney of killing an innocent woman, and the attack doesn't have a single shred of legitimacy.
What has Romney done that's even close to that?
SpecArriors against Obama (sorry, don't remember their real name) is running ads saying that President Obama has been endangering the lives of military personnel with national security leaks from the White House. So that would be the same kind of attack.
However, the fact is that the Obama White House has been leaking a great deal of national security information, that information is being leaked to enhance Obama's re-election campaign, no one at the White House is aggressively trying to stop the leaks or find the leakers (and this White House is notable for the way they normally go after leakers), and the information being release IS likely to get some of our people killed.
And, whereas the Obama re-election campaign featured the steelworker in a campaign conference call, the Romney campaign hasn't been publicly working with the SpecWarriors.
So no, everybody doesn't do it. It is the Obama Camp that is doing it. Just like the Obama Campaign is the first Presidential campaign to try to overshadow the other side's nominating convention. Just like Candidate Obama was the first Presidential candidate to refuse the "Matching Funds" (and the spending limits that went with them).
Care to provide some legitimate counter examples? Or can we drop this "everybody does it" BS?
- mccullough said...
I'm impressed with Romney's campaign. He's been taking it to Obama both directly with this ad and with the speech where he said Obama should take his campaign of anger, divisiveness and hate back to Chicago. Obama can't run on competence and Romney is not only not letting Obama run on like ability, he's showing voters Obama is an angry jerk. I'd bet that Romney's next tactic is to show that Obama is a whiner/weak. Incompetent, weak, asshole. Romney is playing to win.

Even if we accept your assertion (which I don't), it sounds like whatever lies, misrepresentations, or false personal attacks you would admit the Republican Party and their supporters have engaged in are either so benign or neglible as to not needing to be addressed.
Although better than most, I continue to find our political system chock full of harmful corruption carried out by both parties. I also believe that when partisan's knowingly minimize the lies of their preferred party they are enabling the corruption.

Nope. If someone on my side engages in such a thing, that person should be censured for doing so.
But if you claim that Candidate A has a beam in his eye, and Candidate B has a mote in his eye, and therefore they're both equally bad, you are the one being dishonest.
Do you have facts that justify "rejecting my assertion"? Do you have a Romney ad as dishonest and despicable as the Steelworker ad? Yes? Name it. No?
Well, you can do whatever you wish. Just don't expect anyone serious to respect your claims.
"Everyone" speeds. That doesn't mean there's no difference between someone who drives 5 MPH above the speed limit on a highway, and someone who drives 30 MPH above the speed limit in a residential zone.
And that doesn't mean there's no difference between a speeder, and someone who engages in hit and run.
Yes, they're all criminals. No, their crimes are not all equal. If you really can't wrap your mind around that, I pity you.

Teacher Margaret Goodwin came to the Capitol in November to complain. "This is the formula", says Goodwin.
The formula used to rate her effectiveness is based in part on student performance. The problem is that very few people understand how it works.
Reporter: "So you were a highly effective teacher and now they're saying you're not".
Margaret Goodwin: "For years, and years and years"
Because they've gotten such an earful, lawmakers are starting to rethink the what they passed and governor signed in 2011. "I think we're going to have a hard time explaining this to teachers".
Senate President Don Gaetz calls the evaluations flawed. He wants to make them more simple and understandable. "It's very difficult to evaluate teachers based on the performance of students they don't have. That's just one example that seems to make a lot of sense", says Gaetz.
Even Governor Rick Scott, who wants everything measured, is questioning the validly of the formula. "I talk to teachers everyday they believe in accountability they want it to be fair", says Scott.
Senate Democratic Leader Chris Smith says it is another case of "we told you so". "This is something we can't piecemeal and piecemeal and then someone comes up. We have to find a perfect model to be fair to all teachers", says Senator Smith.
And educators say the problem is simple. "Basically Florida made a decision they wanted to be first as opposed to getting it right", says Andy Ford, FEA United.
And because they spoke out, teachers will now get a second chance to prove their worth.

It isn't a problem, it is how the market works. Do you know what would happen if your idea came to pass, if there was a sign with all the prices of the different procedures listed on it? People would walk right past it without giving it a glance. They have insurance, they aren't buying their care piece-meal. Why would they care about piece-meal prices when they have insurance?gavin wrote:This seperation between the person and the cost of the care they're recieving is exactly one of the problems I'm talking about.
Additionally, can you even put up a price list? Something can go wrong in a surgery and it can take all day instead of a couple of hours. How do you reflect that on advertised prices? Although it would be kind of funny:

DAYTON — A national group joined in the search for a 4-year-old boy missing since March from southwestern Ohio.
Texas Equusearch joined local volunteers in Dayton on Saturday to search the area around the Stillwater River for Zaden McKnight, the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/TMcFai) reported. Police believe the boy is dead, and volunteers have said they want to bring his body back to his family.
McKnight and his mother, Nichelle McKnight, disappeared in March. Dayton police found the 25-year-old mother's body April 11 on an embankment in the Dayton suburb of Harrison Township. She had two gunshot wounds to the head.
Dave Rader, Texas Equusearch search coordinator, said about 40 volunteers worked from about 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. without finding the boy. The group used canoes, kayaks and electronic equipment.
Zaden McKnight and his mother were last seen shortly after Nichelle McKnight allegedly confronted her boyfriend, Antwan Anderson, about thefts. Anderson died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a police shootout after a pursuit April 7.
Rader said his group's involvement could be useful beyond Saturday.
"Part of our goal is to educate, so some of these methods can be used in other searches," he said.
Texas Equusearch has been involved in several high-profile missing person cases.

UCSB Enters ampm Big West Tournament As Fifth Seed
UC Santa Barbara, which won the Big West Conference regular season and tournament championships in 2010, will enter the 2011 league tourney as the fifth-seeded team. The Gauchos will play fourth-seeded Pacific in the first round of the tournament Honda Center. The Gauchos will play the Tigers 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Long Beach State-UC Irvine game, which will tip-off at noon.
The Gaucho Record
UCSB enters its first round game in the Big West Tournament against Pacific with an overall record of 15-13 and a Big West Conference mark 8-8. In their final regular season game, the Gauchos ended a three-game losing streak with a 49-43 Blue-Green Rivalry win over visiting Cal Poly, the second seed in the conference's tournament.
Gauchos Guaranteed Sixth Straight Winning Record
With a 15-13 record entering the Big West Tournament, UCSB is pretty much guaranteed of its sixth consecutive winning season. The streak of consecutive winning seasons is the longest during the tenure of head coach Bob Williams and it equals the longest stretch in school history. Previously, Ralph Barkey guided the program to six straight winning campaigns from 1970-76.
Johnson Named First Team All-Big West, Nunnally Honorable Mention
UCSB junior guard Orlando Johnson was named First Team All-Big West for the second consecutive year on Monday and junior James Nunnally was named honorable mention. Johnson, who enters the ampm Big West Tournament as the conference's leading scorer at 20.3 points per game, was not only a first team honoree in 2009-10, but he was also the league's Player of the Year. The native of Seaside, Calif., is also ranked among the Big West top-10 in rebounding at 6.6 per game, field goal percentage at 46.9%, free throw percentage at 82.0%, steals at 1.18 per game and three-point field goals made at 1.82 per game. Johnson is the first Gaucho player since Alex Harris to be named first team all-league in consecutive years. Harris earned his honors in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Overall, four UCSB players have accomplished the feat. In addition to Johnson and Harris, Doug Rex and John Tschogl were both First Team All-Big West (PCAA, actually) in 1969-70 and 1970-71. Nunnally is averaging 16.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. He is currently ranked fourth in the league in scoring, third in free throw percentage at 82.4%, sixth in three-point field goals at 2.04 per game and eighth in minutes played at 33.39 per game.
Serna Expected To Play In Big West Tournament
Junior forward Jaimé Serna injured his right shin during the second half of UCSB's 49-43 win over Cal Poly in the final game of the regular season but he has practiced the last two days and is expected to play. Serna is averaging 7.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game overall, but in the last five games he has averaged 10.0 points and 6.0 rebounds while making 20-of-29 shots from the field, 69.0%. Earlier in the season, the Laguna Beach, Calif., native missed six games with a strained groin.
Probable Starters - Quick Fact
F 0 Jaimé Serna - Shin contusion may limit him in Big West Tournament.
G 3 Jordan Weiner - Needs one three-point basket to get to 100 for his career.
G 11 Justin Joyner - His 130 steals ranks third in school history.
F 21 James Nunnally - Now has 125 career three-pointers, ninth in school history.
G 33 Orlando Johnson - Has 568 points this year the sixth-most all-time.
Probable Reserves - Quick Fact
G 10 Kyle Boswell -Made 10-of-20 three-pointers during the regular season.
G 20 Will Brew -Has made 2-of-15 field goal attempts in the last four games.
G 24 Christian Peterson - Has 11 rebounds in 31 minutes over his last seven appearances.
F 25 Lucas Devenny - Had four rebounds on March 5 vs. Cal Poly.
F 32 Jon Pastorek - Recorded a career-high four blocked shots in win vs Cal Poly.
F 41 Seth Kamphoefner - Senior has played in one game this season.
G 43 Troy Leaf - Has scored 23 of his 51 points in the last four games.
C 55 Greg Somogyi - Has 128 career blocked shots ranking him third in school history.
The Gauchos vs. The Big West
UCSB will play Pacific in the first round of the Big West Tournament. The Gauchos were swept by the Tigers in the season series this year, losing 57-54 in Stockton on a buzzer-beating three-pointer on Jan. 8 and then 74-68 in Santa Barbara on Feb. 3.
The Gauchos Away From Home
UCSB has a 6-9 record in games away from home. The Gauchos are 5-8 in true road games and 1-1 in neutral site contests. In their last road outing, they lost at Long Beach State, 71-53, and they now have a three-game road losing streak. The five wins in true road games came at UC Riverside, Cal Poly, UC Davis, UNLV and Santa Clara. The neutral site win came over Denver at Eugene, Ore.
Gauchos Moving Up

Johnson-Nunnally Shatter All-Time One-Two Punch Record, Equal Single Game Mark
Orlando Johnson and James Nunnally continue to rank 1-2 on the team in scoring. Johnson leads the Big West Conference at 20.3 points per game while Nunnally is now fourth at 16.6 per game. As a duo, Johnson and Nunnally have combined for 1,033 points, an average of 36.9 points per game. Their total of 1,033 points is the most that two players have combined for in a single-season in UCSB history. The previous all-time record of 1,019 points was set in 2007-08 by Alex Harris and James Powell and in 2006-07 by Harris and Chris Devine. On Feb. 5, in an overtime win over UC Davis, Johnson tied a school record with 39 points and Nunnally added 23. The 62 points equaled the highest two-player combined output in a single game in Gaucho history, a mark first set on Nov. 30, 1985 at Montana State when Scott Fisher (39) and Conner Henry (23) also combined for 62.
Johnson Ties UCSB Single-Game Scoring Record
Junior guard Orlando Johnson scored 39 points in UCSB's 93-86 overtime win over UC Davis on Feb. 5, tying the school record for points in a game. The mark was first set by Scott Fisher on Nov. 30, 1985 in a game at Montana State. Johnson's 39 points were the most ever scored by a Gaucho player at the Thunderdome and, for that matter, at home, breaking the record of 37 set by Don Ford on Mar. 1, 1975, in a game against Portland at Robertson Gymnasium.
Johnson's Double-Figure Streak Ends In Regular Season Finale
Entering the regular season's final game against Cal Poly, Orlando Johnson had scored in double-figures 57 times in his 57 games as a Gaucho. It was the longest streak of consecutive double-figure scoring in school history. In the game against the Mustangs, Johnson was held to six points, ending the streak. Last year, Johnson became just the second UCSB player on record to score in double-figures in every game over an entire season. Previously, Raymond Tutt (1996-97) was the only player to have done so.
Johnson, Nunnally Join 1,000 Point Club
Orlando Johnson scored 31 points in UCSB's Feb. 10 win at UC Riverside and in doing so, he became the 25th Gaucho ever to achieve the 1,000 point mark for his career. The junior hit the mark in just his 52nd game in Santa Barbara and now has 1,098. On Jan. 29, in a game against Cal State Northridge, junior James Nunnally became the 24th player in school history to score 1,000 points. Nunnally now has 1,034 career points.
Stolen Moments
UCSB had 12 steals in its Feb. 26 game at Long Beach State. It was the team's highest total since it also had 12 in a Jan. 6 win at UC Davis. The team had 17 steals in the Nov. 12 season opener against Denver, the third most in school history. The Gauchos, who had five steals in their regular season finale against Cal Poly, lead the Big West in steals at 7.5 per game. Their 28-game total of 210 is the sixth most in school history. They need just two to move into fifth-place, six to move into fourth and seven to move into third all-time. Justin Joyner leads the team with 47 steals, a figure that ties him for seventh on the single-season list.
The Streakless Gauchos
The 2010-11 UCSB team has not been one of streaks. The longest winning streak this season has been three games, accomplished during the preseason. The longest losing streak has been three games, suffered in the three games prior to the season finale against Cal Poly. This marks the first time in Bob Willams' 13-year tenure in Santa Barbara that the Gauchos did not have a three-game winning streak during the league season. It also marks just the second time over that 13 year period that they haven't put together at least one four-game winning streak. The only other time was in 2004-05 when UCSB went 11-18 overall and 7-11 in conference games. That was the last year the Gauchos had a losing record.
Honorable Gauchos
UCSB players received four Big West Player of the Week honors in 2010-11. Juniors Orlando Johnson and James Nunnally have each been honored twice. Johnson was selected Player of the Week on Nov. 29 and Jan. 17 and Nunnally was chosen on Dec. 6 and Dec. 20.
Where's The Justice?
A pair of UCSB's best defensive efforts this year came in games at Pacific and at home against Boise State. In the Gauchos' game at Stockton on Jan. 8, they limited the Tigers to 36.7 shooting overall and 31.6% from three-point range. The result? A 57-54 loss when Pacific made a three-point basket at the buzzer. On Feb. 19, UCSB limited Boise State to 33.3% shooting overall and 26.3% from outside the arc. The result? A 78-76 defeat when the Broncos made a buzzer-beating put-back at the end of overtime.
Let Free Throws Ring!
If there is one aspect of the Gauchos game has been rock-solid this season it has been free throws. UCSB enters the ampm Big West Tournament as the best team in the league at 76.0% from the free throw line, a figure that ranks12th in the nation. Three out of five Santa Barbara starters are shooting 82.2% or better. The Gauchos, who shot better than 80.0% in a game just three times last season, have done so 12 times in 28 games in 2010-11. The all-time record for free throw percentage of 77.2% was set in 1982-83.
The Dark Side Of Free Throws
UCSB is enjoying one of its best seasons ever at the free throw line. In the three games prior to the Mar. 5 game against Cal Poly, however, the Gauchos were at a major free throw disadvantage. In the three games, Santa Barbara made 42-of-55, 76.4%, but Boise State, Cal State Northridge and Long Beach State combined to hit 80-of-104, 76.9%. UCSB was outscored by 38 points at the free throw line over that span, an average of 12.7 per game.
Block Party
As a team, UCSB has blocked a league-leading 120 shots in 2010-11, tied for the fourth most in school history. Center Greg Somogyi leads the way with 53, also a Big West-leading statistic. Jaimé Serna, who missed six games because of injury, has blocked 21 shots while Orlando Johnson and Jon Pastorek have 16 and 12 respectively. In the Gauchos' Mar. 5 finale against Cal Poly, UCSB set a new school record by blocking 14 of the Mustangs' shots. Somogyi led the swatfest with six, his second highest total ever and tied for the second most in school history. Last year, in a game at Fresno State, the 7-foot-3 Hungarian had a record eight blocked shots. In addition to his six, Pastorek (4) and Johnson (3) each added career-highs against Cal Poly.
Wanted: A Shooting Touch
Based on the regular season's final four games, the Gauchos have misplaced their shooting touch. After leading the Big West Conference in field goal percentage for most of the year, UCSB has fell into a slump over the final four, shooting below 40.0% in three of the games and just 44.0% in the other. In the last four, Santa Barbara has made 81 shots in 212 attempts, 38.2%. In fact, in the last three, the Gauchos have made just 59-of-162, 36.4%. In spite of the recent slump, they are still shooting 45.2% as a team, fourth in the conference.
Shooting Slump Must Be Contagious
UCSB's shooting slump must be contagious because opponents seem to have come down with the same bug. On the year, the Gauchos are holding their opposition to 41.4% from the field, second in the Big West. In the last four games, however, that figure has taken a significant dip. Boise State, Cal State Northridge, Long Beach State and Cal Poly combined to make 76 of their 221 field goal attempts, 34.4%. In the Mar. 5 finale, Cal Poly made just 16-of-63 shots from the field, 25.4%, the lowest mark by a UCSB opponent this season. Previously the lowest percentage was held by UNLV when it shot 29.0% on Dec. 15.
Gauchos Win Over UNLV Was First Over Ranked Opponent Since 1993
On Dec. 15, UCSB defeated UNLV by a 68-62 score. At the time, the Rebels were ranked 22nd in the nation. The win was the program's first over a ranked opponent since the Gauchos defeated UNLV on Feb. 22, 1993. The game, which was played at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, was UCSB's first road win over a ranked opponent since Jan. 7, 1988 when it also defeated UNLV. In its next game, the Gauchos played 10th-ranked (now 6th) San Diego State, their highest ranked opponent since Nov. 21, 2008 when they hosted top-ranked North Carolina at the Thunderdome.
On Nov. 20, Orlando Johnson scored 35 points in a home win over Fresno State. James Nunnally scored 34 points in UCSB's Dec. 4 win at Santa Clara and when he did so, it marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that two Gauchos have scored 30 or more points in a game in the same season. In 2001-02, Adama Ndiaye had a 31-point game in a win at Cal Poly and Mark Hull poured in 32 in UCSB's NCAA Tournament game against Arizona. Johnson has scored 30 or more four times this season.
Until the regular season's final game, Orlando Johnson was the only Gaucho to score in double-figures in every game this season. Not so anymore as he finished with six against Cal Poly. James Nunnally has scored 10 or more 22 times in 28 games. Jaimé Serna, who missed six games with a groin injury, has scored 10 or more seven times in his 22 appearances. In all, nine different UCSB players have scored in double-figures.

The Bob Williams File
2010-11 is Bob Williams' 13th season as head coach at UC Santa Barbara. On Feb. 5, he recorded his 400th career win when his team defeated UC Davis in overtime, 93-86. In 2009-10, he guided the Gauchos to a 20-10 overall record, their second Big West Tournament title, and fourth NCAA Tournament berth ever. It was the program's second NCAA Tournament bid and its fifth regular season title in his 12 seasons. Following the season, Williams was named Big West Coach of the Year for the third time.
Last year also marked the third Williams coached Gaucho team to win 20 or more games and the 10th overall in program history. It was the second time in the three seasons that the UCSB won 20 or more.
In 2008-09, Williams coached the Gauchos to a 16-15 overall record and an 8-8 mark in the Big West Conference. The record, however, doesn't tell the entire story. UCSB was forced to overcome a myriad of injuries and at one point stood at 8-13 overall and 2-7 in league play.
In 2007-08, Williams led the Gauchos to a 23-9 overall record. The 23 wins were a school record, and UCSB also won its second Big West regular season title with a 12-4 conference record. Following the campaign, the Gauchos were awarded a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. It was the third time that a Williams-coached UCSB team advanced to postseason play.
The 2002 Gauchos won the school's first Big West Tournament title, advancing to the NCAA Tournament, and in 2003, they won the league's regular season title and played in the NIT.
In 1998-99, he took over a UCSB program that had not recorded a winning season in five years, and after seeing his team lose its first eight games that year - extending a two-season losing streak to 16 straight games - the Gauchos turned things around, winning 15 of their final 20 games and finishing on top in the Big West's Western Division.
Williams has a UCSB record of 214-169. He guided the program to 11 winning seasons in his first 13 years - including the last six in a row - and three 20 win seasons. He has a career record of 128-84 in Big West games and his .604 winning percentage in league games is tops among the league's active coaches.
Prior to his arrival at UCSB, Williams spent eight years at UC Davis and in those eight years, his teams recorded 20 or more wins five times and a 158-76 record. In Williams' final season, the Aggies went 31-2, won the NCAA Division II National Championship and he was named NABC Division II Coach of the Year. Including two seasons at Menlo College, Williams has an overall career record of 403-269 (.600) at four-year schools.
Williams Wins 400th Career Game UCSB's 93-86 come-from-behind overtime win over UC Davis on Feb. 5 was the 400th win of head coach Bob Williams' career. Williams is now 403-269 overall after the Gauchos' loss at Long Beach State on Feb. 26. When the Gauchos opened the season with a win over Denver, he became the third coach in school history to record 200 or more wins. On Dec. 31, when the Gauchos defeated Fresno Pacific, it was his 206th win and it moved Williams past Willie Wilton (205-163) and into second on the school's all-time victory list. Williams now has 213 wins. Jerry Pimm (1983-98) went 222-202 in 15 seasons at the helm of the Gauchos.

(AP) — North Platte has just experienced its driest 365-day period in recorded history.
The National Weather Service office in North Platte says less than 7¼ inches of rain fell between April 28, 2012, and Saturday. The office recorded less than 1¼ inches on April 27 last year and less than an inch on any rainy day since.
Weather service meteorologist Bill Taylor says the last comparable period of 365 days would be found during the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s.
The National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln says much of west-central Nebraska remains in exceptional or extreme drought.

Six Chucks place at New Oxford tournament
NEW OXFORD — Led by the 7-1 performances of wrestlers Seth Spack and Kody Young, six Chucks placed at the New Oxford Tournament this past weekend.
Spack led the tournament for Punxsy with a second-place finish, while Young's loss came in the championship semifinals. Young finished in third place overall.
Also placing for Punxsy were Nathan McGregor (fourth, 6-2), Josh Schuckers (fifth, 6-2), Neko Cappella (sixth, 5-3) and Carl Langley (eighth, 4-4). Wrestlers had to finish in the top eight to be a place-winner.
As a team, Punxsy finished 11th out of 20 schools with 41 1/2-points. Norristown ran away with the team title after tallying 111 1/2-points; Line Mountain was a distant second with 71 points; and Mechanicsburg was even further away with 59 1/2-points for third place.
Rounding out the top five were District VI's Bellefonte (59 points) and Delaware Valley (58).
Punxsy bested the other two District VI schools — Altoona (36 points) and Philipsburg-Osceola (21 1/2).
There were up to 20 wrestlers in each weight class, as performances during Friday's action set up Saturday's championship and consolation rounds. The top eight wrestlers from each weight class after Friday's matches competed for their weight classes' title Saturday.
Spack, Young, McGregor and Cappella each went 4-0 with three pins apiece after the first day, while both Spack and Young went 3-1, McGregor finished 2-2 and Cappella was 1-3 Saturday.
At 135 pounds, Spack (24-4) upset Line Mountain's Adam Kritzer during the semifinals, 6-1, before losing in the championship bout to Norristown's Mikey Springer, 9-3. Kritzer is ranked as one of the top-10 135-pounders in the state.
At 125 pounds, Penn Manor's Bobby Rehm defeated Young, 8-4, in the semifinals before winning the championship. Young (24-2) bounced back from his second loss this season by claiming third place with an 11-6 victory over Pittsburgh Central Catholic's Chris Nuss.
McGregor's great tournament at 145 pounds concluded with a 16-7 major-decision loss to Philipsburg-Osceola's Logan Walstrom in the consolation final.
McGregor (22-6) reached the third-place match with an upset over Delaware Valley's Lucas Markowitz. He earned a 4-2 victory in overtime.
McGregor fell to the consolation round after losing to Brandon Parker, 10-7, in the semifinals. Parker, a top-10 wrestler in the state, finished second.
At 103 pounds, Schuckers (18-10), a freshman, pinned Blue Mountain's Bryant Pennberth in 1:53 to finish in fifth place.
While going 6-3 at 130 pounds, Cappella (24-4) was pinned by Philipsburg-Osceola's Andrew Greenawalt in 3:25 during the fifth-place match.
Punxsy's final place-winner was Langley (13-14), whose final bout at 160 pounds was a loss by fall in 5:34 to New Oxford's Cory Bixler.
Eight other Chucks competed Friday and Saturday. The following is their records during the tournament and overall records this season: Joel Bowers (4-4, 16-11); Caesar Maruca (4-4, 10-17); Duell Thompson (3-3, 13-13); Josh Neal (2-5, 8-14); Tige Woodson (2-6, 12-16); Devan Snyder (2-6, 6-21); Tyler Titus (0-7, 3-21); and Brennan Knarr (0-7, 1-8).
The Chucks will now prepare for their final home match of the season. Punxsy hosts Brookville Thursday, as the junior-high match begins at 6 p.m., and the varsity match will follow around 7:30 p.m. Immediately after the junior-high match, Punxsy's seniors — Thompson, Woodson and Young — will be honored.
After taking on the Raiders, Punxsy will wrestle three-straight road matches against District IX Class AAA foes — Feb. 9 at St. Marys, Feb. 15 at Bradford and Feb. 17 at DuBois.

Fenway Park has some of the quirkiest seats in baseball.
There are seats in right field that face left field. And one seat beyond Pesky's Pole called ''the chiropractor's special.'' It faces the bullpen in right field.
Because no other ballpark in the big leagues has less foul territory, everything is up close and personal.
Down the left-field line, foul territory is measured in inches. If fans don't like left fielder Carl Crawford's positioning, they can tell him, and he can hear them.
There are grandstand seats designed in an era when people were smaller and games were shorter. Now your knees scrape the back of the seat in front of you.
There are obstructed view seats, sold at full fare, like one in Section 23, where you can sit smack dab behind a pole. From there, there is no view of the pitcher, the batter, or the right side of the infield.
There are cushy EMC level seats with heaters to ward off the April chill and lobster rolls delivered by the wait staff.
There are Green Monster seats, where home runs are captured by fans atop the 37-foot wall.
There are seats behind home plate that could get you more face time on television than Bobby Valentine. Just ask Dennis Drinkwater, president of Giant Glass.
There is the lone red seat — Seat 21, Row 37, Section 42 — in the right-field bleachers that marks the longest measured home run hit at Fenway: Ted Williams's blast on June 9, 1946, that crashed through Joseph A. Boucher's straw hat.
The one common thread: Baseball is the official language here, and no matter the sightlines, the ballpark is always the star.

Municipal primary election set for tomorrow
Elk County polling places will open at 7 a.m. tomorrow for the municipal primary election.While last year's general election saw ballots cast by 13,474 or 66.37 percent of Elk County's 20,302 registered voters, the municipal election in 2011 only gathered 7,918 or 39.38 percent voter turnout, this according to the County Elections Office. In addition, the municipal primary held in that year had even lower turnout, with just over a third of registered voters showing up to cast their votes. This year, 146 candidates filed petitions to be on Elk County ballots this year.

External HG leak on EJ22?
Posted 22 January 2012 - 11:48 PM
Do these ever develop the external HG leak like the later sohc EJ25s?
Posted 23 January 2012 - 12:40 AM
I have a '98 OBW 5mt with a '95 EJ22 swap, done about 5 yrs ago. My wife has been complaining of coolant odors lately, especially shortly after start up. I noticed the overflow bottle was a bit below the low mark... took a peek underneath (dark and raining out) and I think I see drops of coolant on the join between the head and block. Everything looks dry up top.
Do these ever develop the external HG leak like the later sohc EJ25s?
It's pretty rare that the ej22 develops a leak, but it can happen. I would get a few cans of the engine degreaser and thoroughly clean off the engine. Wait a day and then visually inspect it while the car is running. Also, top off the coolant and see if it still gets low. It may have just been due to the heater core being opened.
Where in Chicago are you located? I am from there and work at a garage there in the summers.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 01:54 AM
Posted 23 January 2012 - 08:49 AM
with an unknown prior history and 15+ years on it there are other possibilities, though unlikely.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 06:02 PM
i wire brushed and spray painted it orange, that was the only paint i had on hand.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 06:13 PM
A lot of times the dye kit at the auto parts is money well spent rather than just throwing parts at things like this.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 06:35 PM
Posted 23 January 2012 - 07:34 PM
Thanks for your responses. I think I'm going to have to do some more inspection here. Unfortunately, I don't have a garage handy, so I'll monitor the coolant level closely and wait for a break in the weather or borrow a friend's garage. (Though I don't think anyone is going to volunteer the use of their garage for engine degreasing!) The water pump and all the hoses were replaced with OEM when I did the engine swap 5 years ago, so they _should_ be OK.
You can go over to the Marathon on the corner of Touhy and Western. They are open 24/7 and have mechanics there 24/7. They will let you rent one of the bays and use the lift for a very reasonable fee. I work there in the summers, doing the 9pm to 3am shift. At that time of night it's mostly brakes, oil changes, starters, alternators, and flat tires. Not much "major" work.

On the Steelers/Analysis: Time to add up month's wins, losses
By Ed Bouchette / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Where do the Steelers stand after much of the smoke has cleared in the first dozen days of free agency? Still standing, if a little wobbly.
The loss of Jerricho Cotchery and Emmanuel Sanders left their group of wide receivers short and weaker, even though they added 5-foot-9 veteran Lance Moore. They have no running backs to speak of after Le'Veon Bell. And their defensive line looks as shallow as it has this century, even in March.
On the other hand, they strengthened their position at safety with their biggest signing, Mike Mitchell, and by re-signing Will Allen. They now have two young safeties in Mitchell and Shamarko Thomas and two vets in Allen and Troy Polamalu.
At the moment, they do not have a second starting defensive end after Cam Heyword or a second starting wide receiver after Antonio Brown. But they appear set in their offensive line, both with starters and backups. There are no issues at quarterback.
So they have made progress in some areas, slipped in others, kept the status-quo in spots.
It's time to take stock of the additions and subtractions in free agency, along with other maneuvers and possible future transactions as their executives gather for the NFL meetings that start this weekend in Orlando, Fla.
First, let's look at the various maneuvers:
■ Safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor accepted two-year contract extensions for no extra guaranteed money in order to save the team nearly $8 million in cap space in 2014. They now become the only assumed starters over 30 on defense. Excellent move.
■ Tackle Levi Brown, who suited up for one game but got hurt in warmups, was released to create $6.25 million in salary cap space. That was a no-brainer.
■ Linebacker Larry Foote was released to save $1.5 million in salary cap space. The coaches determined he no longer could play at an acceptable level. The move was not made to create cap room, particularly. They get more leadership drain by doing so, but decided it was time to move on.
■ Linebacker Jason Worilds was tagged as a transition player and he quickly signed the one-year contract that comes with it for $9,754,000. It's a move that had to be made, but one still waiting for the other shoe to drop with a long-term contract that would reduce that pricey salary-cap number in 2014. They could have used that room now, but it does not look as though they will get a long-term deal anytime soon.
■ Linebacker LaMarr Woodley was released, effective June 2, which is when the team will see their salary cap room grow by $8 million because of it. This move had to be made in conjunction with keeping Worilds.
■ Sanders signed with the Denver Broncos. While he was their biggest loss in free agency, they never made a real attempt to keep him.
■ Cotchery signed with the Carolina Panthers. He was among the few they really wanted to keep and were unable to do so. There was some indication that his wife, Mercedes, influenced him to leave Pittsburgh for North Carolina, where he met her while in college at North Carolina State.
■ They responded a day later by signing Moore, an eight-year vet with the New Orleans Saints who will presumably take Cotchery's spot.
■ Cornerback Curtis Brown, a third-round draft bust, was released to little effect.
■ Defensive ends Al Woods (Titans) and Ziggy Hood (Jaguars) sign elsewhere, as does halfback Jonathan Dwyer (Cardinals) and tight end David Johnson (Chargers). The Steelers might have been interested in keeping some of that quartet, but not interested enough.
■ Free agent safety Mike Mitchell left the Carolina Panthers to replace Ryan Clark for five years, $25 million, which is back-loaded to protect the team in case he does not pan out. He has been their best and biggest signing. They were not going to bring Clark back and this took the pressure off them to draft a safety.
■ The Steelers re-signed veteran safety Will Allen, long-snapper Greg Warren, backup guard-center Cody Wallace and backup guard-tackle Guy Whimper. All excellent choices to bring back, although none a full-timer.
■ Signed San Diego free agent nose tackle Cam Thomas to a two-year, $4 million contract. They needed to find someone to play in their defensive line. Although he lost his starting job near the end of last season, he gives them some depth.
■ Defensive end Brett Keisel remains a free agent in limbo. They have made no move to re-sign him and it appears he has no offers elsewhere. Agent Eric Metz said Keisel will not play in 2014 for minimum wage, which in his case would be $955,000.
■ Fernando Velasco, who played so well at center after Maurkice Pouncey's torn ACL in the opener, is still rehabbing from his Nov. 28 Achilles tear. He is a free agent, and the team will be interested in signing him back close to the opening of training camp, when his foot should be healed.
■ The same could be true for their free agent halfback LaRod Stephens-Howling, whose ACL was torn in the opener. It's possible he could return.
■ The Steelers have $2,174,434 in salary cap space, according to the NFL Players Association. That's enough for them to craft a multi-year contract for someone. They also could create another $3.8 million in space by restructuring the contract of Lawrence Timmons. So they have the means -- a way to have nearly $8 million in salary cap space now (not counting the additional $8 million they will gain on June 2 from the release of LaMarr Woodley). They could pick up more by signing Worilds to a long-term contract.
■ They can use some of that space on a veteran receiver, a backup halfback and a defensive end. Or, they can start re-signing players such as Maurkice Pouncey and Ben Roethlisberger to extensions.

Clinic Director Mitch
Students in UW Law School's Neighborhood Law Clinic won three court trials in one day late last month, amounting to more than $13,000 in judgments for their clients.
This semester, the NLC had nine cases set for trial, of which they secured five court victories and two out-of-court settlements. One case awaits a decision, and another trial was postponed until January.
That's a remarkable run for the students, according to Professor Mitch, the clinic's director. While the clinic often wins claims on behalf of its clients, he says most get settled before ever reaching trial.
The community-based clinic offers ongoing legal assistance on civil matters to low-income Madison residents. Its clients are looking to resolve rental or housing problems, wage-and-hour disputes with employers, "and a smattering of other things that crop up in the neighborhood where we're located," Mitch says.
The need for NLC services is great. Mitch says up to ten people a week come to its south Madison office for legal help, and the small clinic can only handle a fraction of those cases. The clinic's experience reflects a statewide trend: a 2007 State Bar of Wisconsin study found that more than 500,000 Wisconsin residents are contending with serious civil legal issues without the benefit of representation.
Jason Krautkramer
And for Americans living at or below the poverty level, a decision in small claims court can make the difference between scraping by and not. "Our clients are hardworking. Often, they're trying to get or keep a roof over their heads. They're trying to get or keep a fair wage. It's so easy to be passionate about that," says Mitch.
NLC students do all the groundwork to prepare their clients for trial, but in order to present in court, they need to complete the required number of course credits. Having fulfilled the prerequisites, third-year law student Rachel Grischke gained experience questioning witnesses and presenting opening and closing arguments under Mitch's supervision. Jason Krautkramer, a second-year law student, worked as "second chair" in court, while Mitch argued the cases. He'll have the credits to lead in court next semester.
In spite of the courtroom successes, winning at trial may represent only half the battle for NLC plaintiffs, because collection is up to the client, not the courts. When debtors refuse to pay what the court orders, student attorneys like Krautkramer and Grischke continue to strategize — helping clients interpret the statutes and pursuing complicated options for recovery of unpaid judgments, such as garnishing wages or assets.
"The post-collections process is another area where our clinic adds real value for clients," says Mitch.

Krautkramer says the clinic has helped him refine his lawyering skills, especially in the client interviewing phase, where asking the right questions means getting the most productive answers. After graduating, he'll most likely put those skills to practice in estate planning law, but says he may continue to litigate civil cases on a pro bono basis.
"I couldn't deal with that frustration every day," he says. "It's hard to watch people continue to get the short end of the stick, even after they win in court."
But Grischke says working for the Neighborhood Law Clinic reinforced her desire to pursue a career in civil litigation, where she has noticed a hole in representation for poorer plaintiffs. "The clinic cultivated my love of civil litigating," she says. "I'm hooked."

Even if root servers was internationally controlled, USA still could seize domains controlled by a company on American soil.
As long the US government keep itself away from the domains of other countries, i don't think that any government would care less. (They know that the first time they dare to touch a thirty party domain, it will be the last.)
If you buy a service from a company in USA, then you subject part of your business to the American law. Just because its so easy to get American services overseas, it does not mean that the service itself is a international resource except from American law.
By the end of day, authoritarian countries already filter their DNS servers, and their local domain controllers are subject to heavy censorship, including background checks of anyone buying a domain. What we should try is to prevent USA itself to become a authoritarian regime.
Thus, the only way to be sure that your business do not fall in some stupid grey area of American law, is to rely on the local services of your country, or of a country that is legal to do whatever you want to. If you are using the internet for political purposes, then you should go after a country that is sympathetic with your pleas.
Its pretty sad to know that we don't have a country with the mighty of USA to actually stand as the perfect freedom outpost of the world. But as imperfect as the US government is, there is far worse countries out there.
Of course, if you rely on USA services just because your local services sucks, i'm sorry for you.

The Gunners are expected to make some moves to bolster the squad this month, with a £10million bid for Atletico Madrid striker Adrian Lopez said to be on the table while fringe players like Johan Djourou, Sebastien Squillaci and Morocco forward Marouane Chamakh, a target for West Ham, will also be offloaded. However, as he prepares to take his team to Swansea for Sunday's FA Cup third round tie, the Arsenal manager wants concentration to remain on the side producing the required performance rather than thinking about how to boost any perceived deficiencies.
"The most draining is that you get the best out of your team and worry about the next game. In our job it is important that you focus on what is really important, the players who can help the club to win the games - those who are somewhere on the transfer market will not help you to win the games," Wenger told a press conference.
"For us it is important to focus on our next game and our next game can only be won by the players who are here."
Wenger admits it is becoming harder to locate bargain buys and accepts pressure is for players to make an instant impact rather than be allowed time to grow at their new club. However, the Arsenal manager does not expect many major moves in the opening week of the January window.
"(I'm expecting it to be) very calm because, first of all, I believe there is little money and what can happen is basically a transfer market within the English clubs,"
Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"That is more difficult than with the foreign clubs. Overall, I believe that not a lot will happen.
"The clubs have to look at the finances. What makes the clubs are the fans and what makes the fans is the economy. On that front, nobody is really sure what will happen in 2013."
Arsenal crashed out of the Capital One Cup at npower League Two Bradford to see another chance of ending their trophy drought in 2013 disappear. Wenger intends to take a strong squad to Wales as he looks to continue his own personal love affair with the world's oldest knockout competition, which brought Arsenal their last piece of silverware back in 2005.
"It is something special because it is something exciting, it is watched all over the world. It has a special history in England and I always respected that," Wenger told a press conference.
"I am always sad when we don't win it or when we go out. We will put our maximum effort in on Sunday to win the game."

There was an excellent article on Bowden in the Columbus Dispatch last year, just prior to the 2002 season. I wish I had saved it.
In this article alot of what you all are saying was listed. But it also did list some of the positive contributions he has also done (which so many who hate him seem to want to omit ).
Bowden readily acknowledged that when it comes to the GM job, that he is an S.O.B. and a tough negotiator. I loved the quote where he said... "If someone's blood has to be split, it's better that it's the other guys".
And some of the remarks that some of you post in this thread, attributed to Bowden, weren't "lies" technically speaking... just stupid, incensitive remarks.
And I would never take the words of anything Pokey, DY, or Oester says as reliable, and "gospel".
And I'd say the same thing about sportswriter Sullivan. Since his relocation, he has shown he still has an "axe to grind"
And good point TeamTuck. Shaw sure is anxious to want to come back to this organization.

Cutbacks in F-35 procurement and the termination of the F-22 will lead to a 30% decrease next year in Pratt & Whitney's production of fifth-generation combat engines, seriously challenging cost-reduction goals for the Joint Strike Fighter's F135 powerplant.
"Our volume is coming down even as we continue to make great progress on the war on cost," says Pratt & Whitney Military Engines President Bennett Croswell. The unit cost for the conventional-takeoff-and-landing (CTOL) F135 has come down 25% since 2009. "We took $1.5 million out of the engine last year, in just one year," Croswell says.
Production of F119 engines for the F-22 helped Pratt reduce costs for the derivative F135 engine, as the two powerplants share several common features, such as integrated bladed rotors, hollow fan blades and low-observable coatings. The last F119, a final spare for the now out-of-production twin-engine F-22, is set for delivery in November.
The original cost-reduction plan presented by Pratt at the time of the 2009 Joint Assessment Team review outlined a declining cost curve through engine 250. But the movement of 179 aircraft to the right in the next five years means this milestone will not occur. When drawn up, this plan anticipated a faster production rate, with delivery of engine 250 in either the latter part of low-rate initial production (LRIP) Lot 6 or the initial part of Lot 7.
Lower volumes mean that Pratt delivered 27 engines last year instead of the expected 40, and it now plans to deliver 50 a year in 2012 and through the next three years before it prepares to start ramping up F135 production to 80 per year from 2016.
"We're not signaling to anybody that we aren't dedicated to continuing to come down that [cost] curve," Croswell says. Targets for greater efficiency include manufacturing, the flow of parts in the shop, and savings from the supply chain.
"I was worried about our supply base — it might be difficult to get cost out of them without the expected volumes. But they're hanging in there," Croswell says.
He points out that total volumes over the life of the F-35 program have not been reduced, just stretched out. "I think this will be like the F100 program [the engine that powers F-15 and F-16 fighters], which is now in its 40th year of production."
Recognizing the importance of cost reductions to the longer-term survival of the program as a whole, Croswell also says the death of the General Electric/Rolls-Royce F136 alternate engine in 2011 is not a factor. "We're under a tremendous amount of scrutiny, whether there is another engine or not. The drive for cost reductions almost creates a competition in itself."
Twelve production-standard F135s were delivered in 2010, 27 in 2011 and 24 through June of this year.

Submission + - The "Bucky Ball Creation" Mystery Solved (livescience.com)
SchrodingerZ writes: Since 1985, scientists have been trying to determine how Buckyballs (scientifically named Buckminsterfullerene ) are created. They are molecules with the formula C60 (a fullerene ) that forms a hexagonal sphere of interlocking carbon atoms. "But how these often highly symmetric, beautiful molecules with extremely fascinating properties form in the first place has been a mystery." For over three decades the creation of these molecules have baffled the scientific community. Recently Florida State University, in cooperation with MagLab in Tallahassee Fl. have looked deeper into the creation process and determined their origin. It was already known the the process for buckyball creation was under highly energetic conditions over an instant, "We started with a paste of pre-existing fullerene molecules mixed with carbon and helium, shot it with a laser, and instead of destroying the fullerenes we were surprised to find they'd actually grown." The fullerenes were able to absorb and incorporate carbon from the surrounding gas. This study will help to illuminate the path towards carbon nanotechnology and extraterrestrial environmental studies, due to buckyball's abundance in extrasolar clouds.

Report says Shell unprepared for Arctic drilling
(AP) — Shell was not fully prepared when it launched its trouble-plagued Arctic offshore drilling program last year, and the oil company also fell short in overseeing key contractors in the effort, according to a federal report released Thursday.
The report follows a 60-day review by the Interior Department that focused on problems Royal Dutch Shell PLC experienced with its drilling vessels and a spill containment vessel. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the company will have to submit more comprehensive plans before it would be allowed to operate in the Arctic again.
"Shell screwed up in 2012," Salazar said in a teleconference with reporters.
The report recommends that a more detailed plan include schedules of contractor work on critical components. It also recommends that Shell commission a third-party audit of the company's management systems.
Shell drilled last year in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast and in the Beaufort Sea off the state's north coast. But problems before and after drilling culminated with the grounding of one of two drill ships.
Shell said in February it will "pause" Arctic drilling this year.
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said Thursday that the company takes the report seriously and will use the break in Arctic operations to learn from the review, an ongoing Coast Guard review and the company's own assessment.
"Alaska remains a high potential area over the long-term, and we remain committed to drilling there safely, again," Smith said in a statement.
Environmental groups were quick to criticize the 30-page report, calling it insufficient despite recognizing Shell's failings as unacceptable. The groups also knocked the Interior Department for failing to take responsibility for letting a company that was not ready for the challenges it met proceed in the first place.
"By and large, the review told us two things we already knew: Companies are woefully unprepared for the remote and unforgiving Alaskan waters, and our government improperly awarded Shell approvals to operate there," Susan Murray, Oceana's Pacific deputy vice president, said in a statement. "The Arctic Ocean is unique and important. Americans deserve better care and stewardship than oil companies or the government have provided."
Environmental groups bitterly oppose Arctic drilling in an environment that supports endangered whales, polar bears, ice seals and walrus. They contend not enough is known about drilling's effects on an ecosystem already being hammered by climate change, with summer sea ice continuing to be lost at a record pace. The groups also say oil companies have not demonstrated the ability to clean up a petroleum spill in ice-choked waters.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said she will review the Interior Department's report to "ensure that stricter oversight is not code for prohibiting access to our resources."
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates 26.6 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas exist below Arctic waters. The reservoirs could be linked to shore by underwater pipelines and then overland to the trans-Alaska pipeline.
Shell spent $2.1 billion on petroleum leases in the Chukchi Sea in 2008 and estimates that it has spent $5 billion on Arctic drilling. The company contends that it can drill safely. Its two drill ships completed top-hole drilling on two wells last year, but the company was bedeviled by problems.
The company's spill response plan required that a response barge arrive on site before drill bits dug into petroleum-bearing zones. That never happened. A containment dome, a key piece of equipment, was damaged in testing off the Washington coast.
Seasonal ice in the Chukchi Sea delayed Shell vessels from moving north. When Chukchi drilling began in September, a major ice floe forced Shell's drill ship off a prospect less than 24 hours later.
When the drilling season ended, the Coast Guard announced that it had found 16 safety violations on the Noble Discoverer, which drilled in the Chukchi, when it docked in Seward, Alaska. The Coast Guard has turned over its investigation of the vessel to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The problems crested in late December when the drill vessel Kulluk, a circular barge with a diameter as long as nearly three basketball courts, broke away from its towing vessel on its way to a shipyard in Washington state.
It ran aground off a remote Alaska Island near Kodiak Island and requires repairs.
After the Kulluk was refloated, Salazar announced that his department would perform an "expedited, high-level assessment" of the summer drilling season. At the time, Salazar said the review would pay special attention to challenges that Shell encountered with the Kulluk, the Noble Discoverer and the company's oil spill response barge. The Interior Department oversees offshore drilling permits, and Salazar said drilling in frontier areas such as the Arctic demand a higher level of scrutiny.
The Coast Guard also is reviewing the Kulluk grounding.

Well, it probably boiled down to something as simple as them not having three cameras. I don't have any trouble believing it could do all three at the same time. Although they should have panned from one to the next.
Even a non-realtime kernel should have been able to handle those three tasks simultaneously without any trouble at all on an old 486. I'd be more impressed if the tasks demanded much harder real time restraints. And then executing them while compiling linux and browsing with firefox!
Hi all.
I've been the supervisor of the whole project, since the first submission (which was called SCHED_EDF). If you check, I have always released a news on OSNews and Slashdot whenever we released a new version.
As I have written in the description of the project on youtube, the project has been realized as part of a 3MEuro project called ACTORS and financed by the European commission. When you get funded by EU, you have to pass annual reviews with commission members, In particular, the movie has been filmed near the final review meeting, at which 3 EU members attended. These 3 members (selected by EU) had the chance to see the full system working. If you can't trust the movie, trust at least the EU commission.
Unfortunately, we started the ball-and-beams, and then we started the robotic arm. For this reason, in the ball-and-beams you can notice the arm stopped in the background: we simply did not start it yet...
The project started in 2008, and we had several submissions. During these years, the code has been reviews by the Linux kernel community several times, and it is getting ready for inclusion in mainline.

- WTNH NewsChannel 8 New Haven Weather Forecast
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale softball team has played only two of its 19 games in the friendly confines of Dewitt Family Field. That number will grow significantly this week. Yale starts a six-game home stand with a visit from Providence on Wednesday. The doubleheader gets under way at 2:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs (6-13, 2-2 Ivy) exploded for 14 runs and 18 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Columbia to open Ivy play last Friday. Yale then dropped a pair to Penn on Saturday. Ashley Sloan, who was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll on Tuesday, batted .438 (7-for-16) in the four games. She is now 19 hits shy of the Yale school record. Catcher McKynlee Westman also had a big weekend. She hit .600 with a pair of doubles.
Yale's pitching staff leads the league in earned run average (2.84) and opponent batting average (.239). Kayla Kuretich tossed a five-hit shutout in the first game against Columbia. Holly Gutterud then pitched 4.1 innings of relief without allowing an earned run to earn the win in the second game.
Providence (8-16) dropped a weekend three-game series to Louisville. Michelle Huber leads the Friars in batting (.304), hits (21), runs (18) and triples (3). Jen Abrams has a team-best 13 RBI. Five different pitchers have seen action in the circle for PC. Alicia Grosso leads the staff in ERA (2.90), wins (4) and strikeouts (28).
Yale is the second Ivy League opponent for Providence. The Friars beat Harvard 3-1 at the Central Florida Tournament on Mar. 6. Gross pitched a complete game to earn the victory.
Providence swept a doubleheader from Yale last year in Rhode Island. The Friars lead the all-time series 26-19-1.

Doc's a winner!
I had to write to tell you as a faithful reader of The Hook how much I enjoy your new columnist, John Hong, MD, under the heading of "Dr. Hook."
He is so interesting and individualistic, yet so medically memorable, that his columns are worth cutting out for the re-enjoyment value. He inspires one to take him to heart.
I loved "Gobble, hobble: Health perils of the holidays" [November 4]. He is unexpectedly pleasing, as when he writes of a rich buffet and then adds, "Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!" An apt counterpoint to surfeit.
Please keep him on and disregard the critic in the last issue. Excellence in anything excites nitpicking from envious onlookers, unfortunately. Reading him is like listening to a humorous, caring physician with lots of time to talk, speaking off-the-cuff.
Dr. Hong has his own style; I would recognize a column of his anywhere. The Hook has snagged a winner. I now turn to "Dr. Hook" first. Perhaps The Hook will be the genesis of a national column.

The George Pub - "Now and Then".
I used to love this pub.
It was a nice friendly place to meet friends, did great food and had some really excellent live music acts on.
Such a shame it was one that disappeared.

I always thought this was a safe pub... it seemed to have a great crowd of customers, the music nights did well as did the food... It was also a placed well used for funeral wakes. I lost count at how many I'd been to that were held there. I think it became a victim of how the area around it changed. Such a shame Nancy... I wonder how many more are going to end up going this way.

Islamist insurgents seized control of a village about 215 miles north of Bamako, the capital, on Monday, but the seeming setback in a 4-day-old French offensive to halt the advance of al Qaida-linked rebels was seen as unlikely to slow plans for an expanded campaign to expel the rebels from Mali's north.
What provoked the rebel move on Diabaly, which one former resident described as home to fewer than 1,000 people, was unclear. Malian officials said that the militants, fleeing French airstrikes, weren't trying to move closer to the capital but had targeted the village in their search for an escape route to nearby Mauritania.
But the loss of the Malian garrison at Diabaly highlighted the challenge facing France in its efforts to roll back the Islamists in a country as vast as Mali with a government as weak as the Malian one – a combination likely to allow rebels expelled from one area to pop up days later in some other corner of the country, crisscrossing on desert back roads.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the United States would soon dispatch military trainers to nearby countries to train soldiers from other nations to take part in efforts to retake Mali's north from the Islamists. Nuland said the Islamist rebels' push south last week was "a wakeup call" that previous preparations to counter the Islamist seizure of two-thirds of Mali were "too leisurely." The force hadn't been expected to deploy until September.
So far the French, who began arriving in Mali late Thursday in response to a plea for help from Mali's government, have relied on heavy airpower to pummel known rebel positions, even as French special forces operate missions from their base at the central Malian town of Sevare.
On Sunday, French planes hit rebel targets in the north's largest city, Gao. But the city was quiet on Monday and there were no reports of bombing.
Four French planes were reported to have flown reconnaissance missions over the historic city of Timbuktu, now a headquarters for al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. But they, too, did not attack rebel positions, though their presence did send rebels scattering.
The assault on Diabaly began when a rebel convoy of roughly 30 trucks that had camped overnight outside the village crossed a small lake Monday morning and engaged the Malian troops stationed there. The fighting lasted until around noon, when the government troops pulled out, according to a resident.
"There was some resistance. Then the military retreated, and rebels occupied the school and military camp. Only two of their pickups stayed behind, the rest of the rebel group continued on," said Abdoulaye Ouologuem, a farmer in Diabali who was interviewed by phone.
Some reports said that the battle represented a major rebel counterstrike, but people familiar with the village suggested those reports were overblown. One former resident said the town's population is made up primarily of rice farmers who cultivate the swampy government-owned fields. The military outpost the rebels overran was used to stop illegal rice smuggling to Mauritania.
Rebels shot one local farmer in the leg during the battle, Ouologuem said; the farmer died of his injuries. The military could not confirm that death and said there were no casualties during the battle.
Malian authorities told the mayor of Diabaly that army reinforcements were on their way to retake the town. Residents were told to stay indoors and away from the occupied military camp because it might come under air attack.
Government officials speculated that the rebel force had fled airstrikes against their positions in the towns of Konna and Lere and were searching for an escape route through the desert.
"They are panicked, and they want to run to Mauritania," said Capt. Modibo Traore, a spokesman for the Malian military. He said the rebels had been pushed back to Diabaly after their passage was blocked by troops in the larger town of Sakolo a few miles away.
The pounding by the French air force seems to be paving the way for a concerted push northward by a rapidly meshed-together coalition of Malian army units, troops from other West African countries and French special forces, all supported by the French air force.
The deposed mayor of Gao, Sadou Diallo, who is now living in Bamako, said that bombing raids on his city Sunday killed more than 60 rebels. "Their weapons storehouse was destroyed," he said.
The Malian units are being boosted by members of the desert Tuareg tribe who last year rebelled against the central government and seized northern Mali, only to have their revolt supplanted by Islamist forces.
Bakary Mariko, a spokesman for the military junta that overthrew the Malian government last year, confirmed that exiled Tuareg defectors have been grafted into the French-backed coalition's plans.
"Some are already on the front," he said. "Others are preparing to join."
Prominent among those who are expected to soon return to their force is senior commander Al Haji Ag Gamou, who is now in Niamey, the capital of Niger, Mariko said. Niamey is closer to the rebel strongholds in northern Mali than Mali's own capital.
Diallo, the deposed Gao mayor, says he has been told that Gamou will be leading a force to recapture Gao, which sits just across the border from Niger, very soon. The force would attack from Niger, he said.
"I promise, within four days, Gao will be free," he said.
