So I got into a discussion last night with some guy that I talk to on facebook who is a fitness coach. He's normally a very nice guy and we normally get alone just fine, but he often posts things like this,
"I sometimes hear from people who question the safety of the "health and fitness industry - supplements" - I wonder if they drink Gatorade.
They put the taste of the product over the health of the consumer...
Brominated vegetable oil, a synthetic chemical that has been patented in Europe as a flame retardant, will no longer double as an ingredient in Gatorade sports drinks.
Molly Carter, a spokeswoman for Gatorade owner PepsiCo Inc., said the company has been considering the move for more than a year, working on a way to take out the ingredient without affecting the flavor of the drink."
Now, I'm no expert in the safety and chemicals that they put into Gatorade, but given his past posts, I was not surprised, after doing a little google searching on the chemicals, to find that they have been approved for safe giving to humans. His main argument was that it is used as a flame retardant so why on earth would we drink it? I responded with, "Well, we use water as a flame extinguisher, so I'm going to stop drinking that." Although the intent of my comment was obviously to point out how chemicals that have a crazy use, doesn't mean that it's necessarily harmful to humans. During our conversation he also brought up propylene gylcol (which is used as anti-freeze), and also growth hormones in animals. Now, I claimed the same thing, there is absolutely no evidence to show that these cause harm in humans.
My whole beef with people who make these claims is that they aren't science people, but they do appeal to a large unscientific community. The same people who believe that the government is feeding us unsafe agents in our food are the same people who claim that the government has and is withholding the cure to cancer, HIV, diabetes, and other common diseases because there is so much money to be made off treatment. They are all just a bunch of conspiracy theorists that shouldn't be allowed to speak.
That's all to my rant, please feel free to comment now

The Inside Story of the Armed Robot Pullout Rumor 105
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that the initial rumor of the SWORDS robots being pulled out of Iraq — and its subsequent correction — were just that: sensationalizing in the blogosphere. Popular Mechanics has a lengthy update to its original scoop, digging into the sketchy responses from defense contractors when pressed about the bot's actual duties in battle. From the article: 'Although others have used our story to generate a false online rumor about these armed UGVs, the nature of those "technical issues" that Gotvald mentioned in his statement, and that Qinetiq and Foster-Miller have yet to address directly, remains a mystery. Until someone can explain why SWORDS lost its funding, and what exactly it is — and isn't — being used for in Iraq, the rumors are likely to continue. If this is the dawn of the era of robotic infantry, things are off to a decidedly rocky start.""

THIS WEEK'S GUEST-BIANS: Jessica Capshaw makes Bette veer off the high road; Cybill Shepherd gets dust on her boots.
Literary stalking — Jenny's screaming. Stay with me here: I know you're thinking, "Oh, God, not another frickin' carnival scene." It's not that, even though it is in black and white. Jenny, sporting a pained look and a plain white T-shirt, is screaming "Stacey!" She's standing in a courtyard, staring up at a door at the top of some stairs.
That's right: She's Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, and Stacey (in case you've forgotten) is the Curve reviewer who trashed Jenny's book.
That was a nice homage/parody, complete with barking dog and mournful saxophone. I think we know two things now: (1) Jenny's truly obsessed with her reviews and reviewers; and (2) Jenny doesn't make a good butch.
Also? We're in for some seriously high drama, even by Schecter standards. A Streetcar Named Desire touches on all of Jenny's pet issues, including rape, infidelity, rage, nervous breakdowns, class struggle and, well, the kindness of strangers.
A head for Dada and a bod for sin — Nadia, Bette's TA, is rifling through some files. This requires bending over, and Nadia just happens to be wearing a very short skirt today — and probably any other day she's anywhere near Dean Porter. And Bette is very aware of the nearness of Nadia's legs.
Am I the only one who half expects Nadia to break into song at any minute — or rather, a particular song called "Dance: 10; Looks: 3"?
Nadia finally finds the file she was looking for and bounces over to Bette, presenting the folder like a proud cat with a freshly killed bird. Bette reacts accordingly, pushing the file away and telling Nadia to take it with her and make it more digestible.
Bette is rubbing her shoulder, so Nadia takes that as an invitation (not that Nadia wouldn't take the presence of oxygen in the air as an invitation):
I don't think I would ever look twice at Nadia, personally, but Jessica Capshaw is pretty good at giving significant looks. Bette tries to steer the conversation back to business again. She's trying to amass a list of presenters at the various conferences CU has hosted. She mentions the conference on global sustainability:
Nadia struts out, and Bette watches her go. After Nadia leaves, Bette does a little thing with her mouth and tongue. You know, that little thing that means, "I'd love to be putting these to good use right now," as well as, "I'm Jennifer Beals and I know how to make you rewind this scene eight times and drool all over yourself."
H.P. Jonson Elementary — Shane is finally taking Shay to school. Be careful, Shane: If you go inside, they'll probably try to sign you up for the sixth grade.
As they go up the stairs, Shay takes Shane's hand. Awww. But inside, things aren't quite so friendly: Shane has no birth certificate or any other kind of paperwork. Clearly there's no other way to figure out where Shay came from and whether he's been vaccinated. If only Max were there to do a computer search.
Every time the principal (or whoever) asks Shane something, Shane just relays the question to Shay, which is funny. But then the principal condescends just a little too much:
Shane stands up and apologizes for wasting the guy's time. Don't worry about it, Shane: I'm guessing this guy's entire life is a waste of time. But I'm not bitter; I didn't have any run-ins with any school principals. No, I didn't get sent home one day for bringing "pornographic" material to school. It was a stupid Peter Benchley novel, and I hadn't even gotten to that chapter yet!
On the way out, Shane thinks better of her traditional cut-and-run approach and goes back in to talk to Principal Krupke:
Principal Krupke doesn't look very moved. Shay, on the other hand, is watching Shane go to bat for him and knows it's a big deal for her to do so. It's all so treacly, but Kate Moennig is keeping it sincere and fairly low on drama, for which I'm extremely grateful.
Imagine if Tina were making this little speech: "Don't you try to put my kid out on the street, you bureaucratic bastard! Do you see my finger in your face? Do you see my neck getting all webby and twisted like a tree in a forest? Do you know how courageous I am and how much love my kid deserves for being part of a real family with boys named Henry and Mikey?"

I stopped once for gas after work, so I was still in business casual with heels. After placing the pump into my tank and starting to refuel I decided the best option for me at the time was to step over the hose to put my card back in my purse (which was in the car still). Suffice to say I didn't clear the gas hose. My right heel caught the hose and I did a full side plant. I think I turned six shades of read and really wished the ground would swallow me up, since I was not the only at the station at the time.

Sarah Mumanachit and the Crimson open the 2011-12 campaign this weekend.(Courtesy of Gil Talbot)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's squash squad will kick off the season against No. 9 Williams and No. 6 Stanford in Williamstown, Mass., Saturday. The Crimson is ranked No. 1 in the initial College Squash Association rankings after ending 2010-11 ranked No. 2 in the poll.
Undefeated Openers
Harvard has won its opening match in all 36 years of the program's existence. The Crimson has followed by winning its second match in 35 of 36 seasons.
No. 1 Harvard
The Crimson returns nine student-athletes, while losing four, from the 2010-11 team that finished second at the CSA Team Championship a year ago. Harvard brings back 73-percent of its wins from 2010-11, as the returners combined to go 93-14 (.869) during individual matches last year.
Harvard has four All-Americans on the 2011-12 roster including Laura Gemmell, Nirasha Guruge, Natasha Kingshott and Cece Cortes. Gemmel is the two-time reigning Ivy League Player of the Year and was named to the All-American team after going 12-0 at the No. 1 position last season. Cortes, who will be serving as co-captain along with Gurgue, was part of the first women's intercollegiate doubles champions in 2010-11 alongside Sarah Mumanachit, who returns for her junior season.
No. 9 Williams
The Ephs return eight of its top nine from the 2010-11 squad that went 14-12. Williams is led by a pair of first team All-NESCAC picks in Courtney Bogle at the No. 1 spot and Laura Henry at No. 2.
The Crimson leads the all-time series against Williams, 29-4. Harvard has won the last 29 matches since 1979 after dropping the first four meetings between the institutions.
No. 6 Stanford
The Cardinal was 8-7 and tied a program best with a sixth-place finish at the CSA Team Championship in 2010-11. Pamela Chua, a first team All-American selection, returns in the No. 1 position, along with seven of Stanford's top nine from last season.
Harvard is undefeated, including three shutouts, in seven previous matchups against the Cardinal. The Crimson blanked Stanford, 9-0, last November.
Up Next
The Crimson travels to Hanover, N.H. to face No. 8 Dartmouth and No. 12 Middlebury Nov. 30.

RUGBY MAY NOT be completely understood by the average sports fan, but that doesn't diminish the level of excitement generated by the rough and tumble play. The Middlebury College Rugby Club (MCRC) generated a lot of that excitement when it opened its season Saturday afternoon. The team won the Division II national championship in 2007 and 2009 and this season moved up to Division I. The season-opening loss to UMass-Amherst featured five lead changes and a last second effort by Middlebury that came just five meters short of victory.

Evolution Hoax
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV dated 31 March 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful
Verse 1 "Glory be to Him who took His servant on a journey by night from the Masjid al-Haram to the Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed,"
A blessed place means one that belongs to Muslims. Allah will not give somewhere He has blessed to unbelievers. "in order to show him some of Our Signs. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing."
Crossing time and space, our Prophet went there in a single night. This is proof there is no space in the Presence of Allah. Our mother says, "His bed had not even grown cold." The Prophet (pbuh) was not in his bed. He came and went before his bed grew cold, she says.
Verse 2
"We gave Moses the Book and made it guidance for the tribe of Israel: 'Do not take anyone besides Me as a guardian'."
Verse 3
"Descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was a grateful slave."
Look, you are the children of Noah, He says. And the children of Ada. Separate since the time of Noah.
Verse 4
"We decreed in the Book for the tribe of Israel: 'You will twice cause corruption on the earth and you will rise to a great height."
You will have pride and you will be elevated, Allah says.
Verse 5
"When the promised first time came, We sent against you servants of Ours possessing great force, and they ransacked your houses, rampaging right through them." Allah says that He gives rise to wars. "It was a promise which was fulfilled."
It is something that was destined, says Allah.
Verse 6
"Then once again We gave you the upper hand over them and supplied you with more wealth and children and made you the most numerous group."
Allah says He has strengthened the Jews.
Verse 7
"If you do good, you do it to yourselves." Allah, does not say you will be destroyed unless you do good. But if they are cursed, then no good can be done them. "If you do evil, you do it to your detriment. When the next promised time arrived, it was so that they could injure you and enter the Temple as they had entered it the first time, and in order to completely destroy what they had conquered."
Almighty Allah says there will be another attack.
Verse 8
"It may well be that your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert to what you did, We also will revert." The bigot says He will have no mercy. But Allah says He will have mercy. "We have made Hell a prison for the unbelievers." These people are Jews, followers of Moses. Allah says He will have mercy, so long as they do not spread corruption.
Verse 9
"This Qur'an guides to the most upright Way and gives good news to the believers who do right actions that they will have a large reward." Allah says He will bestow much merit.
Verse 10
"But as for those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful punishment."
Now, not to believe in the hereafter is a violation of good conscience. In other words, it is the result of rebellion against one's conscience. Our natures are in any case created such as to believe in Allah. One can easily have faith if one does not strive against one's own conscience. But one can enter unbelief through malice and devilry, through immorality and cruelty and through lack of conscience. The conscience tells us to "Believe." But such people say, "No, I will not believe." Some people imagine they are sincerely irreligious. Not so. They are so despite their consciences. That means that everyone's conscience accepts faith. So there are no people who genuinely have no faith. There are no unbelievers in the pure sense. Allah says that they have no faith because of their immorality and cruelty, because they strive against their own consciences. But there is no need to strive and fight against oneself in order to have faith. Left to ourselves, do we have to make a conscious effort in order to breathe? We have deep faith in the same way. People have to work very hard not to have faith. They come by lack of faith only with great difficulty, striving against their own consciences. And then they deserve punishment. For example, Darwinists say; "One day, there was a collection of atoms in some muddy water. And a carbon atom spoke to an oxygen atom. It suggested they come together to produce a protein molecule." That is scientifically impossible. You have to have protein already there in order for protein to form. But they insist that it formed spontaneously, in some way2012-06-27 13:29:52

Dine scores four goals in St. Marys' 7-0 win over Defiance
ST. MARYS — Matt Dine made sure St. Marys wouldn't be scoreless this time out. He kept adding on until it was almost a record-setting night.
Dine scored St. Marys' first four goals in the Roughriders 7-0 win over Defiance on Tuesday.
Dine's four goals were one shy of the school record set by Tyler Hirschfeld, who had five goals in a 2000 game. Those goals were Hirschfeld's only five goals of his varsity career.
"He's been up and down all season because of injuries," St. Marys head coach Dave Ring said. "Getting the four goals tonight, he was rotating around and cycling around like he should at his forward position. They weren't flashy goals or highlight film, but they're four goals and they're in the back of the net. That's awesome."
St. Marys played to a scoreless tie against rival Celina on Saturday. The offense, which couldn't finish on its numerous opportunities, was able to put the ball in the back of the net seven times against these winless Bulldogs.
"Our build-up was top notch," St. Marys head coach Dave Ring said. "Our possession was top notch and our ability to hold possession. We weren't finishing as I'd like to see, but the four goals by Dine were what we wanted to see."
Dine began the scoring at the 28:27 mark of the first half. He scored his second goal on a assist from Dakota McVety with 13:32 left in the first half. Dine booted in the hat trick goal with 10:19 left on a rebound shot after the ball was deflected out in front of the net. Dine finished up the four-goal day with a shot from outside the 18 with a solid right-footed kick for the 4-0 lead with 3:41 mark of the first half.
Zack Wilker's left-foot shot found the net with 30:48 left in the second half to put the Roughriders up 5-0.
Patrizio Martinez guided in the sixth goal on a corner kick deflection for the 6-0 lead.
St. Marys' Joe Poeppelman wrapped up St. Marys' scoring with a goal at the 7:09 mark.

The Stat Sheet: Drumohr Two-Tone Shawl-Collar Cardigan
- Najib Benouar
As the warm-weather gear continues to trickle into shops, we couldn't help but notice this two-tone shawl-collar cardigan from Drumohr sticking out like a sore, overly warm thumb as it recently arrived at Unionmade.
But upon further review, the Scots over at Drumohr had us fooled: it's a cotton-linen blend that's knit so loose, you could almost see through it. Which seems uniquely well suited for this time of year. Here's what else you need to know.
The Story: The legendary knitwear brand was founded in southern Scotland in the 1700s and has been a favorite among Europe's well-to-do ever since.
Who to Channel: Steve McQueen piloting a pontoon boat; a royal of Monaco on the kind of French Riviera day when socks aren't necessary but a little extra warmth might be nice.
When to Wear It: Right about now, and anytime a warm day cools off into the sunset as the summer approaches.
Degree of Difficulty: Medium. This is a pretty slouchy garment, so we'd keep this for the breezy-weekend-and-beach-bonfire circuit.
A moment of inspiration, after the jump.»

Virgin Blue Views On QF-NZ
Virgin Blue notes the articles based on the Qantas Media Release dated 29 April 2003 titled 'Qantas to Lodge Submission on Air NZ Alliance.'
The release contained a number of statements including the comment attributed to the CEO of Qantas stating that "...just about every independent expert and commentator" supports Qantas's views on the alliance and "Only the ACCC appears to think differently."
It is regrettable that this suggestion is contradicted by hundreds of pages of submissions and reams of newspaper commentary from both sides of the Tasman.
Furthermore, the release went on to make the statement that "Virgin Blue has stated unequivocally that it will enter the trans-Tasman and domestic New Zealand Markets and be a significant competitor."
Unfortunately the author of the statement chose not to highlight one of the key points of the Virgin Blue submission to the regulators - that Virgin Blue can only achieve such an outcome if Qantas and Air New Zealand are stopped from employing their most anti-competitive, low-cost products to target the routes we hope to fly.
Furthermore, we must have access to comparable facilities at competitive prices at the times of day when the public prefers to travel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to offer New Zealanders the same type of low fare competition that exists in Australia if we have no place to park the aircraft or check in passengers.
While we note Qantas and Air New Zealand's sudden concerns for our well-being, Virgin Blue believes that the potential alliance partners could better spend time by addressing the core issues highlighted by the regulators that must be addressed if their proposal is to be allowed to move forward.
Continued posturing, legal manoeuvres and selective paraphrasing of Virgin Blue's opinions will not address the anti-competitive issues or the needs of all travellers of Australia and New Zealand.
Instead of speculating as to what Virgin Blue needs to compete, Air New Zealand and Qantas only need to refer to Virgin Blue's submission as well as the regulator's draft decisions to deliver an outcome that will allow for sustainable competition.
We have clearly articulated our position that can be reviewed by anyone simply by clicking www.virginblue.com.au.
As long as Qantas and Air New Zealand are able to satisfactorily address the real anti-competitive issues we have identified, Virgin Blue has no intention of standing in the way of whatever these two traditional carriers deem necessary for their long term survival.

Two men were sentenced to prison terms for violation of terms of previously granted probation in Tama County District Court in Toledo during the last week of December by Judge Mitchell E. Turner.
Rogelio Guevara Jr., 30, addresses of Tama and Marshalltown, was sentenced to three, 10-year terms to be served consecutively.
He originally pled guilty to charges of possession of more than five grams of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, perjury and three counts of forgery filed by Tama Police on February, 2010, and neglect of a dependent person, filed by Toledo Police in September, 2010.

In being cited for probation violations, he was accused of bonding out of the Tama County Jail on Aug. 16, 2012, and subsequently being in the company of his girl friend in Des Moines who was stopped by police there and charged with felony drug charges.
Douglas Harry Hala, 38, Tama, was sentenced to three, two-year prison terms to be served consecutively after being found in violation of probation. The original charges stemmed from a police pursuit in June 1, 2012, which resulted in Hala being cited for 2nd offense drunken driving, eluding and assault with a weapon. He was charged by the Tama County Sheriff's Office in the 200 block of West 4th Street in downtown Tama.
He allegedly drove more than 25 miles over the speed limit during the chase and drove his car at Meskwaki Nation Tribal Police Officer Kenneth Raymond Brady without swerving.

CEC member JIA Feng integrates sustainability into university curriculum with the course Business, Environment, Learning and Leadership. BELL marked its 10th year with a student research project on water policy.
Ten years ago, JIA Feng introduced into universities of China a new course called "BELL", which is the acronym of "Business, Environment, Learning and Leadership". Initiated by WRI, BELL aims to help professors to address environmental issues across the entire spectrum of the curriculum's core courses in business schools. In 2004, after consulting with experts of BELL from WRI and preparatory works done by professors in China, the first China BELL demonstration course was held in Peking University. Seven years later, China BELL innovative course was promoted and renowned across over 30 universities in China in 2011. Diverse teaching methods were taken by China BELL. Inviting lecturers from government or corporate sectors on topics such as environment public policy making or corporate social responsibility is most commonly applied. By bringing corporate lecturers into the classroom setting, China BELL proves to students that embracing sustainability makes good business sense.
Sharing a research topic: water policy
2011 marks the innovation of China BELL. Five universities from different geographical areas offered optional courses under the same research topic: Public Policy on River Basin Water Environment. The five universities are Beijing Normal University, Hong Kong Open University, East China Normal University, Northeast China Normal University and Harbin Normal University, respectively located in the basin area of the Hai River, the Pearl River, the Huai River and the Songhua River. Students of the five universities are from diverse major background such as environment science, management, law, accounting, applied mathematics and history. Study groups were formed amongst the students and were expected to raise solutions to environmental problems after systematically learning theories such as water environment problem diagnosis and ecological risk assessment, and attending lectures given by local environmental authorities. Taking Beijing Normal University as an example, students were allocated to the following research groups by interests:
- Public participation and environment information disclosure
- Biodiversity Protection in Basin Area
- The role NGOs play in promoting water environment management
- Ecosystem management and policy on nature resource conservation in basin area
As noted by JIA Feng, initiator of this joint innovative course, it will benefit the sustainable development of not only the river areas, but also the whole country, as these groups of young people with common good environment consciousness and knowledge and different academic background become leaders of the society. That is also what China BELL has been pursuing: to bridge the gap between talent cultivating and social needs.

Attachment 56032
Garffy now needs a home or rescue ASAP!! Please let me know if you can help!!
Chicagoland Area, IL - GARFFY the 1 yr old, severe CH Kitty needs a forever home!
Garffy is a shy, but incredibly sweet 1 year old orange tabby. He has severe CH and cannot walk on his own - he would likely benefit from a kitty wheelchair. He can eat and drink on his own and has no problems adhering to a regular potty schedule.
Contact Info: Please contact Garffys Case Manager, Elise at [email protected] if you can help ASAP!
For more information about CH cats, please see www.chcat.org/about-ch-cats
Garffy's Story:
My husband does take him to the vet for checks up (i am not sure he has been tested for FeLV/FIV), he is not neutered (when we got him we were told he was too old to be neutered.) He does not walk, which is why I think it might be a severe case of CH, but if he is put by his food and water he can manage to get to it. He does drag his body a lot and sometimes tries to get up to walk but is unsuccessful. Once he is comfortable in the environment he gets around by dragging his body. When he reaches a challenging point, we notice he growls because he is using all the strength he has, it's cute! We sit with him a few times a day to try to get him to use the bathroom and angle him in his litter box to help him. He is very shy when he does not know you, he will growl a little until he is familiar with your scent but once he knows he is not in danger he is friendly, loves to cuddle and to be held. A friend of my husband's found him in his backyard, he said that his mom and siblings used their backyard as their home and one day the mom abandoned him but took the other siblings. We think she knew something was wrong with him and that's why she left him. When my husband saw him he couldn't contain himself, and we decided to keep him. He was malnourished as well. When we took him to the vet he told us he had CH and if within a week it does not get better to put him to sleep. We did not want to put him to sleep so we decided that we had to keep him and take care of him. It is a lot of work but he is worth it.

Submission + - Double Fine Raises $700,000 in 24 Hours With Crowdfunding (ibtimes.com)
redletterdave writes: "San Francisco-based game developer Double Fine took to Kickstarter to fund its next game project, and so far, the studio has enjoyed unprecedented success through crowdsourcing. The project, which was announced by the studio's founder Tim Schafer on Wednesday night, has already raised more than $700,000 in less 24 hours. The funding frenzy has set new Kickstarter records for most funds raised in the first 24 hours, and highest number of backers of all-time, though both of those numbers are still growing. Schafer says he will build a 'classic point-and-click adventure game' in a six-to-eight month time frame, and will document the entire production process for fans to observe and give input on the game's development, which 'will actually affect the direction the game takes.'"

THANK YOU, Z'BO AND C'BO. AND THANK YOU, MICHAEL. Last week, my son reminded me to write a column about the Grizzlies. So I did. This week, a good friend commenting on that column reminded me of why I write them in the first place, and then wrote one for me.
A little about basketball. A little about Memphis. All about heart.
Your column got me thinking about things; which as we both know, can be pretty dangerous. Not to mention, it makes my head hurt.
For me, a 6'9", 260lb black power forward named Zach with a wicked inside game who goes by the moniker of Z'Bo, and a 3'9", 46lb white kid named Charles with cerebral palsy who goes by the nickname C'Bo lend proof that this city is about something special. Randolph arrived here after playing for three other teams, had a trunk full of baggage, and was not generally given much chance to do well, much less lead the Grizz into the rarified air of the NBA playoffs. Charles arrived here three months early, had a hospital full of problems, and was not generally given a chance to survive, much less thrive and watch his hero drive the Grizz deep into the NBA playoffs.
Both have made the most of their second chance in the Bluff City.
Both Bo's are full of the grit and grind that has become a badge of honor here. Z'Bo's grit is on display in our state of the art Grind House where he resuscitated a career. For C'Bo, it was in our state of the art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he had to be resuscitated, several times. They both have had to put in thousands of hours of hard, grinding work to get to where they are. For Z'Bo, it's been about learning to walk over the opposition. For C'Bo, it's been about just learning to walk. And they've had to take that toughness on the road – for Z'Bo it's walking into the lion's den in Los Angeles or OKC, and for C'Bo it's being wheeled into surgical dens at children's hospitals in Memphis and St. Louis.
So, when I look at Charles and Zach I see not only my son and a basketball player – I see two people who are examples of what it means to be a Memphian. A man and a not yet man who are examples of how you don't give up, you take the hit and keep grinding. I'm proud of them both.
So, when the naysayers of Memphis get revved up – whether in Los Angeles, Nashville, Germantown, or Midtown – we need to call 'bulls--t' because their predictions of doom and gloom are not any more accurate than the predictions about the Bo's were. Your job is to keep writing columns that not only call attention to the great things in this town, but also call 'BS' when required.
Keep up the good work,
I'm a Memphian, and Michael Rowland just reminded me of how good that can feel.
Dan Conaway is a lifelong Memphian, longtime adman and aspiring local character in a city known for them. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Endangered Bats of America
Bats have lived in America since the age
of dinosaurs. Today they rank among
our most endangered wildlife. The loss of
bats threatens the balance of nature and
our economy. The majority of bats in the
United States eat insects; a few bat
species in the Southwest and in Florida
drink nectar and pollinate plants. In fact,
bats are very important controllers of
night-flying insects. One little brown bat
can catch up to 1,200 mosquitoes in just
one hour! Bats help control many insects
that attack farm and garden crops.
Having bats around helps reduce our
dependence on insect-killing chemicals,
benefitting human health and nature.
Of the 45 kinds of bats living in the
United States, seven are in danger of
becoming extinct:
The greater (Mexican) long-nosed bat
(Leptonycteris nivalis) is an insect- and
nectar-feeding bat found in the Big Bend
region of southwestern Texas. Nectar-feeding
bats are primary pollinators and
spread the seeds of many desert plants.
The lesser long-nosed bat
(Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuenae) is
an insect- and nectar-feeding bat found in
the caves and mines of the Southwest. This
bat helps pollinate the saguaro and organ-pipe
cacti and the agave, the plant from
which tequila is made.
The Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus
cinereus semotus) is Hawaii's only native
bat. It helps control night-flying insects.
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) forages
over rivers and reservoirs in the
Southeast and depends on a few caves in
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Alabama to hibernate,
roost, and bear young.
The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) roosts
in hollow trees or underneath the loose
bark of trees in eastern woodlands
during the summer and depends on just
nine caves for winter hibernation.
The Virginia big-eared bat
(Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus)
is found only in a few caves in the mountain
and plateau regions of Kentucky, West
Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.
The Ozark big-eared bat (Corynorhinus
townsendii ingens) is found only in a few
caves in the Ozark Mountains of
Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Despite their many values, more than
half of America's bat species are
endangered or in decline. But you can
help keep these bats alive!
Ø Learn all you can about bats.
Ø Do not use pesticides or dump
chemicals into waterways.
Ø Stay out of caves that are gated or
have signs posted
Ø Never shoot, poison, or harm bats
or the places they live.
Ø If you find a bat, please leave it
alone. Bats can bite in self-defense
like most wild animals.

bats, visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's

Sorry, I was unclear.
With base install, I meant the memory usage of a running Windows installation, after having been installed with the default applications.
In that case Windows 8 needs more memory to run than Windows 7.
Some people may claim Windows 8 runs better on the same amount of memory.
This might be true, I don't know, maybe Windows 8 does something smarter with the memory of running applications. I wouldn't know.
All I know is, Windows 7 needs less memory to run without applications.

Giants vs. Phillies, Citizens Bank Park Hall of Fame Club Suite (5/2/08)
I woke up on May 2, 2008 with no plans except to put in a solid day at work. Soon, my plans would change.
I received a call in the morning. One of my collegues has a brother who is an executive in the Phillies front office. Tim and I would be joining a group of guys later that night in one of the Phillies Hall of Fame Club suites:
Tim and I had never been to the Hall of Fame Club. Citizens Bank Park has two levels of suites. The normal "Suite Level" is just above the field level and is accessed through a "no frills" suite level walk way. You can see that here.
The HOF Club is above the 200-level seating. The "concourse" for the HOF Club isn't a concourse at all. Instead, its a indoor "Club" with a bar and couches, etc., etc.
For some inexplicable reason, I failed to take pictures of the HOF Club as a whole. But, I did take a picture of a wall of baseballs in the club…
…the wall is pretty cool. However, the balls clearly aren't game balls or even batting practice balls. They were never used. I think it would be more impressive if the balls were rubbed up with mud and/or scuffed so you knew they'd seen some action on the field below the HOF Club.
I also took a zoomed in picture of the bottom of the bar in the HOF Club…
…honestly, I must have been off my game. How in the world did I not take a picture of the entire bar area?
Anyway, the bat bar is pretty cool. But, again, the bats obviously aren't used. I think it would be pretty sweet if they'd upgrade the bar with game used bats with scuff marks, pine tar stains, player signatures burned into the barrels, etc., etc. Still, its a cool bar.
So, we made our way into the suite. The Phils were hosting the Giants. The Phils jumped out to a quick lead in the first inning when Jayson Werth singled, stole second, and was driven in on Chase Utley's 12th homerun of the still young season.
As the Phils were holding down the Giants' offense, Tim was scarfing down delicious suite food. After a jumbo hot dog main course, Tim moved on to a seemingly never ending dessert course. Here he is showing off our "suite" view of the game and his first "sweet" tasting chocolate covered pretzel:
This may well have been Tim's first chocolate covered pretzel of his life, but it wasn't his last of the night. He would have just kept going, so I had to step in and stop him after 2…or maybe 2-and-a-half…pretzels.
He was a happy, sugar filled little boy…
…I think he's gazing at me so lovingly in that picture because he was so happy that I introduced him to chocolate covered pretzels.
One note about that picture. You'll notice I am not wearing my usual all-Mariners attire. I opted for the red Rawlings T-shirt and my Reading Phillies hat because I was essentially a guest of the Phillies at this game. There was no way I was dressing Tim up in Phillies garb (actually, I couldn't if I wanted to he doesn't own any). But I felt too bad to have us both in all-Mariners gear with no Phillies representation.
Anyway, we were having a great time as the game progressed. We split time between the three rows of seats in the front of our suite and the indoor section of the suite. As I mentioned, Tim was all hopped up on sugar and was full of energy…he was so excited he was literally running laps around the suite — as you can see in this short video clip.
As Tim ran laps of the suite, I spent some time chatting with our bartender. (Oh, yeah, our suite had its own bartender). He was a nice guy. He was a school teacher at a high school in the city. His wife let him work for the Phils part-time in the evenings. He usually worked somewhere else in the stadium. Somewhere with a better view of the game than from behind the bar at the back of the suite. He described his part-time job as getting paid to have season tickets to his favorite team. Nice.
So, after I shut down the chocolate covered pretzels gravy train…
…Tim moved on to big chocolate chip cookies. Yeah, its a tough life for young Timothy.
Each time Pat Burrell strode to the plate, I told our suitemates that he would almost certainly hit a homerun because he always hits a homerun for Tim. But the Giants kept him in the yard each time I made my announcement.
Late in the game, Tim kept graviting toward the bottom corners of the suite seating area. When I headed over to see what was going on, I found Tim…
…in deep conversation (well, "deep" for a 2 year old) with one of the stadium attendants working in the 200-level. He moved back and forth between the bottom corners of the suite chatting up this lady and another lady stationed below the other corner of the suite. Eventually, one of them gave Tim a little plastic Philly Phanatic figurine.
Sadly, like our last night game, Tim started getting mighty tired late in the game. Then something bad happened, Kyle Kendrick and Ryan Madison combined to give up three runs in the top of the seventh and the score was tied. Eventually, we headed into extra innings. Tim just couldn't make it any longer.
Leading off the top of the tenth, former-Phil Aaron Rowand hit a solo-homerun off of J.C. Romero. That was it for us. With Tim having already reached the point of exhaustion, we headed to our car.
As we made our way to our car, Romero gave up two more hits but retired the Giants without surrendering any more runs. When we reached our car and I was strapping Tim into his car seat, we could hear the crowd chanting "M.V.P.! M.V.P.! M.V.P.!" Chase Utley was up. Soon the crowd erupted. I turned on the radio and learned that Utley had singled with one out. Ryan Howard struck out looking for the Phils' 26th out of the night.
Then, on the sixth pitch of the at-bat, with 2-outs, a full-count, the Phils trailing by a run, the mighty Pat Burrell fulfilled my prophesy. He hit a 2-run walk off homerun to send the Phillies-faithful (and me and Tim) home happy.
Ah, good times.

SOAP ROLES: Maggie Horton, DAYS OF OUR LIVES (1973-present)
1979 Daytime Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Drama Series
Damon L. Jacobs: What is the secret to Suzanne's success? It's in her sincerity. Her authenticity shines through in every episode she's been in for the past 36 years. Whether the camera is focused on her, or whether she's in the background reacting, Suzanne is 100% there in every scene. Her ability to make Maggie genuinely radiate love, hope, forgiveness, and optimism have had fans clamoring for her return to the front burner for over two decades now. With any luck, 2010 is the year we will be getting our wish.
Roger Newcomb: I have always enjoyed Suzanne's performances and she's always been one of my favorite actresses. But I gained a new respect for her in 2009 as she moved to the forefront of DAYS once again. Having Maggie on screen on a regular basis gives the show a feeling of "home" and this Emmy winner seems to get better all the time.
Thom Racina: (who wrote for Rogers on DAYS) When I remember the glory days of DOOL, what I remember most is Suzanne, a notch above most actresses in the business.
Molly Burnett: Suzanne is like my mom. I just love her so much. In real life I just adore her so much. And she's so talented. After yelling at me in a scene, they would yell, "Cut," and she says, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" I love working with her. Maggie took Melanie under her wing immediately just like Suzanne did with me as Molly, and this beautiful relationship developed.
Taylor Spreitler: I love her to death. I work with Suzanne the most now, she's always the one who justifies everything I do. We have a lot of fun working together.
We Love Soaps published a five-part interview with Rogers in October 2009.

Journals and Posts
Looking for Adam Davis orignally of Scotland then Montana
I would appreciate any information regarding Adam Davis or Belle White. My great grandfather was Adam Davis born about 1860. I found an Adam Davis Jr. born about the right time but have no confirmation that he is the one I am looking for. Here is what I know: My grandfather Byron Allen Davis was born July 6th 1894 in Montana and died in a tragic accident in Montana 13 July 1952. He married my grandmother Florence Mildred Yeager 14 March 1923. They had one child, Allen LeRoy Davis. This was his second marriage. I have not been able to discover the first marriage. The marriage certificate to Florence confirms Byron's parents as Adam Davis from Scotland and Belle White from Vermont. Family oral history is that great grandfather ran freight wagons or was a stage driver. Belle may have been Native American. She spoke a native language that sounded like Yaqui to my father who used to listen to recordings of the language trying to find out what people group she was from. Byron later married Mary Seter, they had 5 children: Byron, Frank, Andrew, Peggy and Warren. I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
Looking for parents of John Bell of Muskingum Ohio
John Bell (middle name possibly Bevan or Belvin) was born in 1812 (unsure of actual birthplace) and died 27 December 1865 in Rich Hill, Muskingum, Ohio, USA. No one seems to know his ancestry or immediate parentage. He had a wife, Rebecca McVicker (1814-1842)and they had 3 children Drusilla,Eliza and John Milburn. His second wife was Elizabeth McComas (1915-1902)(my husband's grandmother) they had 5 children. John and Elizabeth's children were:Sarah Camelia; William Edward (our Bell line) who married Alta West {this is a very famous line}; Elcy Elizabeth; Violet; and Elmira.
It does not really seem to bear out that John was John Bell the statesman from Maryland. There was a ship's captain that carried slaves, but the dates don't really match him either. One record seems to show a John and Elizabeth Bell as indentured servants perhaps, but the information is very minimal (just a list)but the dates and place names match.
In 1860 in a census we find him living with John Milburn. I think it is possible that our John was related to the Beals that came from Largo, Fife, Scotland [Col.Ninian Beal b 1625]See his story at the bottom of this post. FYI, Alexander Graham Bell went to Scotland and researched the history of the Bell family origins, he found that all Bells originated in Scotland and the Beal line came from Bell and was changed to Beal but no one knows why.
Col.Ninian Edmonston Beal had 3 wives and many children. The lines that came from him did seem to connect directly to our John's line but then the dates did not quite match and I could not prove the same names and childre so another dead end. Perhaps I have not been patient enough, but I could not tease out an actual connection.
Our Bell family is related directly to the Beals from Hannah (Beal) Deaver. Col. Ninian was her father, her son was Antil Deaver; his daughter Hannah married William McComas the great grandfather of Elizabeth McComas.
Here is part of Ninian's story if you are interested.
Ninian Beall was buried on his own property and when the city of Washington, DC was laid out and Gary Street put through, his remains were dug up and found in a perfect state of preservtion, his red hair having grown to his shoulders.
From Colonial Families of the United States, by George Norbury Mackinsie (Vol. 11, page 66) "Ninian Beall was born in Largo, Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1625. He held a commission as cornet in the Scotch-English Army, raised to resist Cromwell. He fought in the battle of Dunbar, September 3, 1650 against Cromwell. He was made prisoner oat that battle and sentenced to five years servitude. He was sent with 150 other Scotchmen to Barbadoes, West Indies. About 1652 they appeared in the Province of Maryland. Ninian Beall served his five years with Richard Hall, planter of Calvert County. It seems that these military prisoners were entitled to acres of public land after completing service."
In Liber II, folio 195 - Maryland Land Ofice, is the follwoing: "16 Janurary 1677 - Then came Ninian Beall of Calvert County, planter, and proved his r ight to 50 acres of land for his time service performed with Richard Hall of name County. This servitude which came to him not on account of crime but through fortunes of war, was an honor. Ninian Beall's military ability in the Scotch-English Army seems to have been made good use of the Province of Maryland, as shown by the following notations: 1688, records of Annapolis, dated 31 October call him Lieutenant Ninian Beall. 1676, commissioned Lieutenant of Lord Baltimore's yacht of war Loal Charles of Maryland, John Goade, commander. 1684, Deputy Surveyor of Charles County. 1688, Chief Military Officer of Calvert County. 1692, High Sheriff of Calvert County. 1694, Colonel of Militis, by the Assembly, 30 July 1694. 1697, on a commission to trat with the Indians. 1697-1701, member of the General Assembly. 1699, the General Assembly passed an "Act of Gratitude for the distinguished Indian services of the Colonel Ninian Beall."
"His signatures to official papers are bold and free. As he signed his will (January 1717) by witnessed mark, it would indicate he must have been in very feeble condition of body at the time; he was then ninety-two years old.
"He seems to have identified himself with the Presbyterian Church in 1690. During that year 200 Presbyterian emigrants came over from Scotland under his supervision. He located them along the Potoma River and called the settlement New Scotland. These emigrants brought with them Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, who received a deed of gift from Col. Ninian Beall on land in upper Marlboro, upon which to build a church.
"In 1707 Col. Ninian Beall presented the church a costly silver communion set made in London (a portion of this set is now in the Presbyterian Church at Hyattsville, MD."
My journey to find my family
I started looking into my family history partly to help my mom with her project. I was very surprised to find out how much it mattered to me. Family members I never knew suddenly became real people to me and I found myself more and more intrigued. I also began a new interest in history; which always seemed something I could not warm up to, it was just dull and dry. But as events in history began to be intermingled in my family's stories, I couldn't get enough! I have been able to trace my father's maternal line back to nearly 900 AD with reasonable surety. I am related to John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley on my father's maternal line. They came over on the Mayflower and were married shortly after. My great grandmother was Laura Luella Howland. I was really excited about that, because that was one of my history lessons I actually paid attention to and I remembered their story.
Elizabeth Tilley and John Howland were Quakers and they came to America for religious freedom. Elizabeth came with her parents who died shortly after arriving. She then became a ward of the Carvers until she married John Howland.
I have met a complete road block with my father's paternal line however. But, I still know tons more about my father and his father's family than I did before. When I started searching, I only knew my grandfather's name was Byron Davis. Family lore was that he was from Wales. He supposedly married my grandmother, they had a son Allen (my dad) and then left shortly after never to be seen again. No one was really certain of the legality of this relationship. I have one photo that is so bad, a face can't even be distinguished. Other than that, my father thought that his father was born and died in Montana.
So imagine my excitement when I found a marriage certificate for my grandparents, Byron Davis and Florence M. Yeager! It was hard to find because it was filed under Dorris instead of Davis. I would have missed it completely had it not been for my grandmother's name and Spokane being visible on the hint. It had all the usual information, but it also listed both of their parents...yeah! His father was Adam Davis and his mother was Belle White from Vermont. Since then I learned Byron's birth date (same day as my daughter) July 6th 1894 and that he died July 14th 1952 in a tragic car accident. His wife and one of his children died within a few days of him, all due to a drunk driver. He was being a good Samaritan; helping someone change a tire. He seemed a long time and respectable member of the community from the news articles I read. I was also able to find where he was buried and visit his grave recently. It blessed me more than I ever would have imagined.
I also had some great surprises on my mother's side as well. I will leave that story for another day.
If anyone has any information about my family from Avon, Montana I would be so thrilled.
Blessings, Alicia

Live Review: Abdullah Ibrahim at Yoshi's
Despite that fact that most of Abdullah Ibrahim's performance last night was a 50-minute, uninterrupted medley of themes largely in the same key and slow tempo, admiration was the prevailing response over boredom. To the uninitiated, the incessant piece seemed like the piano equivalent of stumbling into Guitar Center and hearing the omnipresent Dude Who Plays Unending Blues Riffs; Ibrahim would play a melody for a minute or two, change gears, play a different one in the same key for four minutes, change gears again and so on. Sound dull? To Ibrahim's many fans who filled Yoshi's in San Francisco, it was a celebration of a rich life and an underdog career.
Born in South Africa, Ibrahim's music is inextricably linked with the political struggles of his homeland (Ibrahim's composition "Mannenberg" was the first music Nelson Mandela heard in decades). He grew up amidst upheaval, was discovered by Duke Ellington, moved to Europe and lived in exile until returning to his home country after the fall of Apartheid. His latest album, Senzo, is a solo recording almost identical to last night's concert: a pensive outing and essentially a 1,224-bar blues with so many chord changes that each resolution to the root seemed like a triumph.
Ibrahim said no words to the crowd, only bowing with palms together before sitting down and showing that he has aged in the best possible way. His playing could never go completely New Age or into the realm of post-Bill Evans fluidity. Ocassional four-fingered, octaved arpeggios recalled Jaki Byard, and at times his use of discord rivaled Paul Bley's Closer. Snippets of "Memories of You" or "Round Midnight" crept into his playing, but for the most part it was all Ibrahim: a man no longer nimble, full-bodied or particularly fast at the keys, but a man playing as breathing proof that emotion and experience trumps technique.

BLUFFTON, Ohio - In an intense Heartland Conference battle on Wednesday, Sept. 22, the College of Mount St. Joseph defeated the Bluffton University Beavers in their conference opener in five sets, 25-27, 23-25, 25-17, 25-15, 15-11. The Beavers now stand 12-4 overall, 0-1 in the HCAC, while The Mount moves to 6-6 overall and 1-0 in HCAC play.
The Beaver offense was led by hitters Jenna Eshleman (Landisville, Penn./Hempfield) and Allison Streicher (Continental), who had 15 and 14 kills, respectively. Junior Courtney Zimmerman (Leesburg/Fairfield) also was a force at the net with 12 kills. Shauna Rowland (Bucyrus/Wynford) once again directed the Beaver offense by dishing out 51 assists. Likewise, the Beavers also kept the Lions on their heels with Hailey Phillips' (Malinta/Patrick Henry) three service aces, as well as an ace apiece for Streicher and Heather Schierer (Crescent Hills Ky./St. Henry).
Defensively, Bluffton was led by Schierer with 17 digs, Eshleman with 16 digs, and Mandi Leemaster (Fremont/Old Fort) with 10 digs. Heather Rodman (Mansfield/Christian) also had four blocks in the effort.
The Beavers' next competition is scheduled for Wednesday, September 29, against conference opponent Manchester College. The contest with the Spartans will be dedicated as a Dig Pink match in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Week. Match time is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Founders Hall

I know it's time to start turning our attention to Wisco but there was so much that happened off the field regarding the M/MSU game, we still haven't been able to get to all the stuff jamming our inbox. Case in point: the pictures below sent to us earlier this week by MZone reader Chris.
In case you've already forgotten, MSU head coach Mark Dantonio asked Spartyville prior to the Michigan game, "How long are we going to continue to bow down to Michigan?" Well, Chris and his nephew brought their response to East Lansing and hung it from Sparty's upper deck with about a minute left in the game...
In a related story, we're expecting Mark Dantonio to mention Chris and his nephew in MSU's press conference next week, to let the world know that this banner war is not over yet. No, it's just beginning.

Educational Aims: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
The Spanish Studies and Geography Programme combines modules from two cognate disciplines to provide a broadly-based integrated programme of study focused on the analysis of economy, society, culture and language. Spanish Studies and Geography encompass linguistic, artistics, humanities and social science approaches. It enables students to focus on diverse topics such as: Cities and Globalization; Environment, Politics and Society in Amazonia; Global Consumption and combine them with studies of Spanish language, and Hispanic culture and history. This specialist degree combines seminars, workshops, lectures, and fieldwork. The third year of this four year degree scheme is spent in a Hispanic country in order to develop language skills and an appreciation of Hispanic culture. It also offers the opportunity to undertake other fieldwork overseas, for example in Croatia, New York City or the Brazilian Amazon.
The programme aims to:
- Provide an integrated, flexible, but structured training in Spanish Studies and Geography which will provide students with knowledge and understanding appropriate for subject-specific graduate employment.
- Develop key transferable skills to prepare students for more general graduate employment.
- Develop the intellectual and practical skills necessary for progression to postgraduate research and training.
- Encourage academic curiosity which will prepare students for lifelong learning.
- Offer a choice of modules which will give students experience across the spectrum of Geography.
- Contribute to students' knowledge, understanding and skills in their use of the Spanish language
- Build students' knowledge and understanding of linguistic structures of Spanish
- Develop students' awareness of aspects of the cultures, communities and societies where Spanish is used
- Develop students' awareness of the history of Spain and its relationship to other Hispanic countries
- Offer students the opportunity to conduct an extended independent essay on a topic of their choice.
Learning Outcomes: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
Graduates with Honours will be able to:
- Demonstrate a detailed knowledge and understanding of key subject areas in Geography. Depending on module options this will include an understanding of: Development and sustainability; Political geography, inequality and justice; Cultural geography; globalisation and urbanisation; Society, environment and climate; Geographies of nature; Geographies of food and consumption; Environmental management.
- Follow a serious debate or speech in Spanish in the spoken media and communicate the gist of it; construct sophisticated arguments without a script; express cogent opinions on their own society, that of Spain and global issues, and articulate arguments and/or analyses in Spanish.
- Translate advanced passages of Spanish into an appropriate form.

Learning and Teaching Strategies and Methods: Knowledge, Understanding, Skills
The Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy in the Lancaster Environment Centre and Department of European Languages and Cultures is consistent with, and informed by, the University's Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy, in particular with Aim 1 (well-designed curricula), Aim 2 (skills for careers), Aim 3 (using our research expertise in our teaching), Aim 4 (using a variety of teaching and assessment methods) and Aim 5 (maintaining high standards).
Teaching is hierarchical with a broad first year, becoming progressively deeper and more specialised in years two and three, depending on the student's choice of modules. Research-led teaching (provided by research-active staff) allows new developments in the field to be incorporated into the taught programme. The degree programme uses a wide range of teaching methods appropriate for teaching the subject and skills, and of assessing the students' progress in achieving the intended learning outcomes. These methods include: field work; theoretical and practical work; library and IT work along with individual or team work. The academic tutor system supports students in all these aspects of study, by providing discussion of feedback, and guidance on learning strategies.
In summary the following teaching methods apply:
- Subject specific knowledge and understanding is developed through a combination of: lectures; field work and practical sessions; coursework exercises; tutorial discussions; the close links between staff research and year 3 options; the integration of advanced field work into final-year modules and undertaking reading from a range of literature sources.
Intellectual skills are developed as follows:
- Analytical, critical, synthesising and evaluative skills are developed through: the assessment criteria and processes; the research-active staff; discussions in field or practical sessions and seminars; the dissertation and through engaging with the primary literature.
- Skills in independence, self-management, problem solving and research skills are developed primarily through the dissertation and encouraged through coursework feedback.
- Interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data are developed through field and practical classes; coursework assignments and the dissertation.
Practical and field skills are developed as follows:
- Test, measurement and evaluation skills are developed through lectures, field and practical work and the dissertation.
- Research and risk/ethical assessment skills are developed through the dissertation and field and practical work.
- Textual, and cartographic and numerical skills are developed through practical classes and coursework assignments.
Key transferable skills are embedded into core modules to show how these skills can be used and how the study of human geography is illuminated by their use. Additionally, skills-focused teaching is used in Part 1 tutorials, the compulsory skills modules in year 2, and training in how to produce a dissertation.
- Communication skills are developed through instruction and practice in writing reports, essays, the dissertation and giving presentations.
- ICT skills are developed throughout the course for accessing, working on and sharing materials, completing coursework, and communication.
- Information retrieval skills are developed in coursework and the dissertation.
- Numeracy, data manipulation and presentation skills are developed through practical classes, report writing and the dissertation.
- Group work skills are developed through field and practical classes.
- Employability skills are promoted through the Profiling and Career Guidance exercises that promote reflection and career management.
Assessment Strategy and Methods: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
The departments' assessment strategies are to utilise a wide variety of different forms of assessment, to ensure that all students encounter a range of assessment methods during their degree, and to ensure that the assessment methods used are appropriate to the aims and learning outcomes of individual modules. Both formative and summative assessment methods are used.
In summary:
Knowledge and understanding is assessed through unseen examinations consisting of mostly essay type questions, but also including short answer and data analysis questions. Coursework assignments, which include: essays, practical assignments, field/laboratory reports, oral presentations and the dissertation also test students' knowledge and understanding. The relative weight of these components varies according to the type of module and its intended outcomes.
Intellectual skills are assessed by a combination of coursework assignments, practical assignments, field reports, dissertation work and written examinations. Students are expected to learn from previous assessment, and receive substantial feedback on the intellectual content and communication skills aspects of their coursework.
Field courses and practical-based modules are usually assessed entirely by coursework such as field reports. Computing and numerical skills are additionally assessed through practical-class assignments.
Transferable skills such as written and oral presentation skills, graphical/cartographic presentation of data, general IT skills and information gathering are assessed by a variety of summative and formative assessments, e.g. essay writing, field reports, oral presentations, practical-class assignments, participation in tutorials, feedback on essay plans and drafts and the dissertation.

The Denver Nuggets will put their five-game winning streak on the line Friday night when they welcome the New Orleans Hornets to the Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets haven't lost since a home setback to the Washington Wizards on Jan. 18. Since, they've won four straight at home and are one of the NBA's best home teams at 19-3.
In January, the Nuggets went 12-3 with only three road games on the schedule. They played the fewest home games in the league to that point and have put themselves squarely in the mix in the Western Conference.
"It was a great month, we needed a special month and I think we got it," said head coach George Karl. "It puts us in position to hopefully have a great season."
The Nuggets defeated the Houston Rockets, 118-110, on Wednesday. Denver trailed by three at the start of the final quarter and captured the final frame, 35-24, to ice the victory.
Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Nuggets with 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting and 4-for-9 from long range. Kenneth Faried, Andre Iguodala, Ty Lawson and Andre Miller each scored in double figures.
The Hornets have lost two in a row and four of their last five. This is the fourth game on a five-game road trip for New Orleans, which is 1-2 thus far with a win in Memphis and losses in Los Angeles against the Lakers, and Utah.
Against the Jazz, five Hornets scored in double digits, led by 17 from Greivis Vasquez, who also handed out 13 assists. Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis, Brook Lopez and Jason Smith cracked the 10-point mark.
The deciding factor in the game came at the foul line. The Jazz attempted 46 free throws and converted 32 of them. The Hornets only had 28 chances from the charity stripe.
"They got to the line 46 times for whatever reason, they were more aggressive or we didn't move our feet," said head coach Monty Williams.
Another problem was the second quarter. The Jazz outscored the Hornets, 32-18, and New Orleans blew a 10-point first-quarter advantage.
"It might be me putting the wrong guys in the game. It seems to be the same few guys making the mistakes," acknowledged Williams. "That may sound harsh. This is a harsh league."
Defense has been a huge thorn in the side of the Hornets. They've allowed 100 or more points in six of their last seven.
The Nuggets won this season's only matchup with New Orleans, a 102-84 decision in Denver on Nov. 25. The Hornets have lost six of their last nine in the Mile High City.

The San Manuel Miners varsity baseball program is up and ready for the challenge that the 2013 season will bring on the diamond. The Miners have big expectations ahead of them set by last year's final four team, which took the playoff tournament by surprise by upsetting several top seeds to advance to the semi-finals.
With that established, San Manuel will longer be a surprise but a contender with a good number of returning players from last year's team.
At the helm this year will be first year head coach Steve Elmore, along with assistants Freddy Burnham and Richard Ivy. The coaching staff will look to improve on last seasons' overall record of 12 – 17, a region record of 8 – 9, and a return trip to the state semi-finals.
The Miners only lost two starters from last year in seniors' third baseman Vincent Valdez and second baseman Alexander Smith. San Manuel will return Seniors Demetrious Dietz – 1B; John Ruiz – SS/2B/P; Andy Monfred – OF; Marty Rodriguez – OF; Jake Torres – 1B; TJ Brown – C/P; and Junior Anthony Garcia – OF/P.
The top newcomers are sophomores Shane Kelly – SS/2B; Jacob Marquez – 3B/P; and Christian Dietz – C.
"The strength of the team will be the returning starters and how much experience they have playing together at the varsity level," Elmore said. "The team also has good depth at pitcher and in other needed positions."
A weakness of the team will be making errors in the field and how we react to those errors after they are made.
A goal of the team is to win the Region and return back to the State playoffs.
The Miners have took part in the Florence Tournament, hosted Ray, and were on the road to Hayden on Tuesday and will also be on the road to Globe today with a start time of 4 p.m.

Racists in the South have hated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 since it was first debated in Congress, and have done everything possible to thwart it, first as Democrats and then as Republicans. Now they have their chance to throw off its civilizing influence so they can put the squeeze on liberty again:
In a year when Republicans across the nation were slammed by more than one court for engaging in activities meant to discourage voting, it's amazing that they'd even consider a challenge to this law. It's set to expire in 2031 anyway, and by the evidence it may be needed that long.The Supreme Court will consider eliminating the government's most potent weapon against racial discrimination at polling places since the 1960s. . . . .
With a look at affirmative action in higher education already on the agenda, the court is putting a spotlight on race by re-examining the ongoing necessity of laws and programs aimed at giving racial minorities access to major areas of American life from which they once were systematically excluded.
. . . .
In an order Friday, the justices agreed to hear a constitutional challenge to the part of the landmark Voting Rights Act that requires all or parts of 16 states with a history of discrimination in voting to get federal approval before making any changes in the way they hold elections.
On the other hand, given the shenanigans in states not covered by the Act, we can hope that the Court will be wise and extend it to cover the entire nation -- thus resolving one possible constitutional challenge.

This place needs a Bowel Forum...
Good thread. Had mine recently, clean as a whistle! And not really a big deal.
Only a moron avoids this.
Definitely agree with this.
I'm 22, but unfortunately, for various reasons, two years ago the doctor said I should get one for some issues I was having (won't get into that).
Kinda freaked me out, but thankfully I was cleared of anything and just had to take some medications for a little while.
You don't feel anything. Even after you wake up, you don't really experience any soreness.
Don't think of it as being violated, or a insult towards your manhood. It's necessary.

Vacaville police arrested a wanted parolee at large Monday after he was found hiding in a shed behind an apartment complex following a pursuit and search, authorities reported.
Carlos Ramirez, a 22-year-old Vacaville man, was taken into custody in the 1700 block of Alamo Drive, more than an hour after being spotted by Vacaville police Officer Bryan Larsen around 11:42 a.m. in front of a home in the 1600 block of the same street.
Ramirez, who Larsen said was on parole for grand theft and witness intimidation, was standing outside a home when Larsen recognized and tried to contact him, police said. Ramirez reportedly ran back into the house as a backup officer arrived before running out the back of the residence, where he was last seen jumping fences.
Additional officers responded and a perimeter was set up around the neighborhood, but the search was called off a short time later without any further sign of Ramirez, Larsen said.
At 12:22 p.m., police received a call from a resident at an apartment complex in the 1700 block of Alamo Drive who reported seeing a man on the phone and acting suspiciously, Larsen said.
Police responded to the area and Ramirez again fled, this time to the back of the apartment complex.
A perimeter was again set up and Ramirez was discovered in his hiding place and taken into custody without incident around 12:51 p.m., Larsen said.
He was then transported to Fairfield and booked into Solano County Jail.

Assessing Alamosaurus/
Today let's look at another one of our thundering giants, Alamosaurus sanjuanensis. Alamosaurus is known from quite good remains (for a titanosaur), and some fragmentary remains may be close to the largest known dinosaur. How certain is this reconstruction? Much better than Puertasaurus, but there are still a couple of layers of inference needed to get there.Read More

Yep, even tho I treated Flether with K9 Advantix 3 weeks ago I found 2 fleas on him this evening. Nice.....what do they say when it rains it pours??? Well, I feel like I've been hit by a whole waterfall this week. So I broke down and called my brother-in-law, the vet and he told me the best flea shampoo. So out to the pet store I go lucky they carry exactly the brand I was told to buy. Both dogs have had a flea bath now and we're going to switch to Frontline next week. But he said the fleas are so bad this year.
I have a feeling the fleas came from Fletcher's extended vet visit the other day. No worries, they took great care of my puppy and did not charge me an arm and a leg. It happens...
I think I'm going to do some reading about that garlic thing tho, anyone have any opinions?????

#1 Welcome to new and returning members09-29-2012, 07:23 PM
Glad to see new members joining and a hearty welcome back to some of our former members who haven't been around for a while.
Things are heating up politically. It should be an exciting time between the debates and the election. The board just gets better when we have more voices and points of view participating.
So here's a big, conservative hug.
Here's hoping that we'll be partying election day.
If it's the worst outcome, we can console each other.

Notes About This Event
Join friends from your Nia community for a wonderful opportunity to dance outside in our amazing spring weather in San Antonio. Great Playlist of "outdoor" music. Light snacks and water after we dance. Bring a friend who has never taken a Nia class and they dance for free!
Location is at Charlotte Kerr Jorgensen's home studio, DragonFly Studio in the back garden!
