CreteIn color: Loft
Not to be confused with the Greek island with the same name, Structure's Crete design has the weathered and worn look of concrete. One of the oldest building materials around, concrete was widely used during the Roman Empire to construct roads, aqueducts, arches, vaults and such enduring structures as the Coliseum, largely built of concrete, and the Pantheon, the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. This classic industrial look is once again re-purposed in a large 18" by 18" scale that aptly fits today's popular design appeal for concrete floors.
Features & Benefits
Inspired Design
The Structure tile collection finds its origins in a blend of old and new and is aptly termed Ancient Modern. Whether in the other-worldly look of Galaxy or the solid footing of Crete and Terra Nova, the Structure tile designs transform the ancient into rich, modern looks.

Thanks Peter. I was waiting for your reply. So from what you said to Norma on a commercial level; yeast can vary even slightly from what they sell at retail. Is this because yeast will sit longer on shelves at a retail store compared to a supply store? IIRC I was using the SAF IDY, which looked like ball bearings, the yeast in the jar has a more tube like look. Do you think when I switch over to a commercial IDY there will be a big difference? I'm using very small yeast amounts btw, measuring in the thousandths of a gram for accuracy and consistency.
http://www.breadworld.com/products.aspx the Fleischmann's web page clearly states that their "bread machine", "rapid rise", and instant yeast are all the same. Other companies may vary, but it is highly unlikely.
Red Star makes an interesting comment on their web page, they say that instant use should not be used for doughs that will be refrigerated or frozen. I use instant yeast in my cold fermented doughs and have never had an issue. http://www.redstaryeast.com/lessons-yeast-baking/yeast-types-usage/instant-or-fast-rising-yeast

Weighing your options
Buyers' Guide » 2014
Monday, July 7, 2014 - 1:00pm
What's the best way to access business aviation if you don't want to buy your own airplane? We'll help you decide.
Given the amount of money involved, picking the right way to employ business aviation is one of the most critical financial decisions you can face. Unless you're buying a whole aircraft, the first choice you have to make is what access model would best suit your needs, be it a fractional share, a jet card or traditional charter. Then you need to decide which company or companies to use.
The process can be complex, time consuming and even overwhelming. You have to familiarize yourself with various providers and with the program features that will affect the cost and convenience of your experience—the replenishment policies of jet-card purveyors, the off-peak-pricing plans at fractional-ownership companies and the one-way payment options of charter operators, for example.
A good first step is to consider how many flight hours you use per year. Charter is the de facto solution for anyone flying less than 25 hours annually; 25 to 50 hours is considered jet-card territory; and fractional ownership begins to make sense at more than 50 hours. These rules of thumb reflect the fact that jet cards are typically sold in minimum denominations of 25 hours of flight time, or face values of about $100,000, while the minimum share for fractional ownership is usually 50 hours (a 1/16th share).
But access solutions don't always move in lockstep with flight-time totals. A jet card may make more sense than a fractional share for some people flying 200 hours per year, for example, and many business jet travelers use two or all three of these access methods, selecting the most appropriate solutions on a mission-by-mission basis.
Another reality to consider: the boundaries between the three business models are blurring. Jet-card and fractional-ownership programs now broker air charter as an ancillary service for their customers, while some charter operators offer jet cards with guaranteed access instead of the simple discounted block-charter rates of yore.
You can find clues to your best long-term solution by defining your needs as closely as possible.You'll also want to have a firsthand understanding of how business aviation works and be familiar with various aircraft that meet your mission requirements. For that reason, ad hoc charter is a good way to gain initial exposure to business aviation, even if you could afford to buy a jet outright.
If you do use charter to get acquainted with bizav, keep careful records of your flights. Note the travel dates and times of day, who traveled with you, the reasons for each trip, how far in advance you booked flights, how flexible you were about changing flight schedules, the amount of baggage and what you liked and didn't like about each trip experience. Record information about the aircraft, too: the type, age, quality and cabin configuration. Don't neglect commenting on the service provider, as well. These records will reveal preferences and patterns that can point toward access models and program features that mesh well with your usage.
Carefully vet any service providers you consider working with. A provider's financial stability is critical. When cash is short, maintenance budgets may get trimmed, and safety and service can deteriorate.
Last summer's Avantair bankruptcy illustrates the importance and also the limitations of due diligence. Financial filings indicated diminishing cash on hand and customers experienced service interruptions even as the company assured fractional owners, cardholders and the industry of its viability. Ostensibly the underlying assets—the aircraft themselves—protected shareowners' investments, but by the time Avantair's problems became public, many of its Avantis were no longer flyable and were of questionable value, in addition to being encumbered by mechanics' liens.
Another concern is that jet card deposits generally aren't protected. Money spent on the cards is typically placed in the provider's general operating funds, rather than any form of escrow account, with little chance of recovery by the buyers should the company go under.
To vet for safety, check the FAA's database for accidents or actions involving the operator, and ask the Better Business Bureau and other consumer agencies about complaints against any operator or broker you're evaluating.
While you can take comfort in knowing that all Part 135 charter operators and fractional and card providers in the U.S. must meet FAA standards (similar requirements apply in many other countries), providers often maintain higher standards established by ARGUS, Wyvern and the Air Charter Safety Foundation. Make sure that at least one of these entities audits any operator you employ. If you're working with a charter broker, confirm that it mandates these standards for the operators that provide its lift.
Card and fractional programs typically have peak and off-peak dates that may restrict your access. Cancellation policies, service areas, trip or daily-usage minimums and call-out times are among other factors you should be familiar with.
Let's take a closer look at the three main ways to use business aviation without buying an airplane:
Charter. On-demand air charter is the aerial equivalent of a luxury town-car service. When you need to go somewhere, you call your charter provider, which will supply an airplane that meets whatever requirements you specify for size, age, cabin equipment and so on.
Charter has traditionally been sold at round-trip rates, meaning you've paid for both legs even if you've traveled only one way. Today, however, one-way rates are common on well-traveled routes. Unlike jet cards and fractional ownership, charter doesn't typically guarantee availability. Even on short notice, though, you can usually choose from a large selection of aircraft, except during peak periods.
You can book flights via operators (the entity responsible for managing and operating an aircraft) or brokers (agents who arrange travel aboard aircraft that operators manage). The brokers offer the benefit of being able to source airplanes from multiple operators. Operators have traditionally arranged charter only on aircraft in their own fleets, but today many act as brokers as well, to offer lift to charter customers when their own airplanes are unavailable.
Jet cards. Jet cards traditionally provided access to a single model or category of aircraft in hours of flight time (e.g., a 25-hour card) or cash denominations (a $100,000 card). Fractional companies initially popularized the cards to encourage potential customers to sample the ownership experience. As noted earlier, charter companies now also market cards; and some programs provide access to multiple categories of aircraft.
The jet-card pricing model favors fliers who make one-way trips, as no round-trip or repositioning charges apply. However, some programs offer round-trip discounts and off-peak pricing. Make sure you understand the rules that differentiate providers, for they can guide you to the program that works best for your travel—or cause nasty "gotchas" after you sign up.
Fractional ownership. Some observers predicted an end to this access model in the wake of the business aviation decline that began in 2008, but the programs have seen a resurgence, even as major providers such as CitationAir and the bankrupt Avantair have exited the field.
Fractional shares offer many of the advantages of full ownership—including tax benefits—but at a lower price point. Share sizes typically range from 1/16th, guaranteeing you 50 flight hours per year, to one-half, which buys 400 hours of annual flight time. You pay a purchase price proportionate to your ownership stake, and then pay a monthly management fee that covers all fixed costs, plus an hourly fee for actual use of the aircraft. At the end of a specified period, typically three to five years, the fractional company buys back the share at its market value. You can usually exercise exit clauses after 24, 30 or 36 months, with brokerage, transfer fees and early-exit penalties varying. Some programs will allow you to renew your agreement and retain ownership for an additional five years, an option that can greatly lower your costs over the period.

Flight Clubs: A New Option
So-called flight clubs, an evolving and loosely defined amalgam of access models sharing a requirement for membership (and associated fee), are gaining traction in the marketplace. Two primary examples are Wheels Up and Surf Air.
New York City-based Wheels Up, created by Marquis Jet Card founder Kenny Dichter, promises members access to a range of business aircraft, from turboprops to long-range, large-cabin jets, at fixed hourly rates. The company inaugurated operations in November 2013 and currently provides service east of a line that runs approximately from Dallas to Chicago, including the Bahamas and the Caribbean, and in some Western states. Membership costs $15,750 and annual dues are $7,250. The hourly rate for the King Air 350i is $3,950 and, for the Bombardier Global, it's $15,950. Going forward, the club will offer card and lease products and on-demand charter, Dichter says, but not fractional ownership.
California-based Surf Air charges members a monthly fee that allows them unlimited access to scheduled flights on the company's three seven-passenger PC-12 single-engine turboprops, operating between the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California. Membership—currently being limited—costs $500 and monthly rates start at $1,599. [Look for a full report on Surf Air in an upcoming issue.—Ed.]
A similar all-you-can-fly operator, Arrow Flight Club, was slated to commence service between Seattle and San Francisco in 2013 using Piaggio Avanti twin turboprops. Arrow is rethinking its plans but intends to be operational this year, the company says.—J.W.

Hearth Trends
Expo of Fireplace/Stove Industry Showcases Trends, New Products
HPBExpo Press Room (Reno): 775.236.1214
RENO, NV (March 19, 2009) –As consumers look for ways to save money and make their home a restful retreat, fireplace and stove manufacturers are producing innovative and stylish products that meet the need for efficient, clean heat. The hottest trends and designs are showcased at this year's Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association's (HPBA's) HPBExpo in Reno, March 19-21.
"Today's manufacturers are designing fireplaces, stoves and other heating products with efficiency and environmental impact in mind," said Jack Goldman, HPBA president. "There are more options than ever to supply homes with warmth and ambiance that not only help cut heating costs, but also provide consumers with renewable fuel options. This year's HPBExpo features the latest products for the hearth of the home."
On display will be numerous products that are covered under the recently-passed stimulus package. The stimulus bill makes many of these stoves even more affordable by providing consumers with a 30 percent tax credit (up to $1,500) through 2010 for the addition of a 75% efficient biomass-burning stove.
2009 Technology and Product Trends
Eco-friendly, efficient and ease-of-use products are key attributes of this year's hottest products featured at HPBExpo.
Cleaner and Greener: From high-grade, cast-iron stoves forged with recycled material to wood burning fireplaces that release fewer emissions, manufacturers are exploring new technologies and fuels to reduce the environmental impact of hearth products while increasing product efficiency. From heating an entire house to only the rooms that are used most, fireplaces, stoves, inserts and outdoor wood hydronic heaters are being designed to meet and exceed strict government emissions standards.
In the Zone: Heating rooms that a family occupies the most, or zone heating, makes today's stoves and fireplaces allow a home's central heat to be turned down. Fans, circulators and blowers enhance that efficiency, helping to save even more money.
All-in-One: Home is where the hearth is. As the center of relaxation and entertainment, new fireplaces can include entertainment features like iPod docks, wire management channels and built-in media cabinets to form an instant sanctuary.
Art of Fire: The beauty of a flame is amplified by manufacturers who have designed fireplace masterpieces that can be hung on walls, can feature rich veneers, sculptures and glass, and sometimes even touched off with LED lighting.
Convenience is King: Manufacturers continue to develop the latest in remote controls, timers, and hopper technology. Modern hearth products offer flip-of-the-switch heat and ambiance, self-cleaning capabilities, and can allow for multiple days of operation with little hassle or interaction.
Mainstream Alternatives: Wood, corn and cherry pits are just a few of the biomass fuel options that continue to gain in popularity.
Maximized Living Space: From classic fire pits to portable heaters and stoves, outdoor heating sources extend seasons and increase entertainment square footage. New multipurpose products that can serve as an outdoor fireplace, a wood-fire grill, or even a garden sculpture also bring new utility to outdoor spaces.
2008 Industry Shipment Statistics
The hearth industry is a $5 billion a year industry. In 2008:
- Nearly 1.9 million hearth products were shipped across the U.S.
- While gas burning products continue to represent the largest number of products shipped (1,017,000), pellet appliances continued to grow in popularity with a 161 percent increase in shipments (141,000) in 2008.
- Cordwood and electric appliance shipments also remained strong in 2008 at 346,000 and 378,000, respectively.
Additional industry statistics can be found at www.hpba.org/statistics.
About Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA)
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association is an international trade association first established in 1980 to represent and promote the interests of the hearth products industry in North America. In 2002, the Hearth Products Association (HPA) merged with the Barbecue Industry Association (BIA) to form HPBA. The association includes manufacturers, retailers, distributors, manufacturers' representatives, service and installation firms, and other companies and individuals - all having business interests in and related to the hearth, patio and barbecue products industries.

Friday, April 11, 2014
ZOOMA Fitness Expo & Packet Pick Up
Location: The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa
Time: 2 shifts available, 12p.m. – 4p.m. or 4p.m. – 8p.m.
The ZOOMA Marketplace is just like the Thursday packet pick up, but it also includes expo vendors.
Volunteers needed: 5-10
Race Day
Water Stop Volunteers – GREAT FOR GROUPS!
Location: Bastrop, TX – various locations along the race route
Time: 6:30a.m. – 11:30a.m. (times may vary slightly based on the location of the water station)
In long races like a half marathon or a 10K, if a runner doesn't get enough water she won't perform as well and could become dangerously dehydrated. Water stops provide an opportunity for runners to grab water quickly and continue on with their race. Water stop volunteers will arrive before the race starts to set up the water station (pour water and organize the cups so that runners can easily grab one), distribute cups to the runners as they pass by, and clean up the area after the last runner has passed.
Volunteers needed: 10-15 per water station / 6-7 water stations
Gear Check Volunteers
Location: The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines, Bastrop, TX
Time: 5:30am – 11:30am (or 2 shifts: 5:30-9:00am // 9:00am – 11:30am)
Runners sometimes prefer to keep items with them until just before the race starts (keys, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc.) but do not want to carry these items throughout the race. Gear check gives runners a place to leave their items in a marked bag with their race number and pick them up after the race. Gear Check volunteers will collect bags from runners, organize the bags numerically while the runners are racing, and give the runners their bags back when they come to collect them at the finish line. This job can be broken into two shifts.
Volunteers needed: 4-8 (depending on shift)
Finish Line Volunteers
Location: The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines, Bastrop, TX
Time:6:45a.m. – 11:30a.m.
There are a number of jobs for finish line volunteers and specific positions will be assigned the morning of the race.
Medal Distribution: Half marathon and 5K finishers will receive a special ZOOMA medal to commemorate their accomplishments. Volunteers will stand near the finish line and give each finisher a medal.
Water & Recovery Food: After the race starts, volunteers will distribute and replenish bottled water and bananas at the finish line. Volunteers will distribute food to runners in the finish line chute and replenish food, as needed.
Clean-Up: Volunteers will help with clean-up and recycling after the race as necessary.
Volunteers needed: 10-15
Course Marshals
Location: The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines, Bastrop, TX – various locations along the race route
Time: 6:30 – 11:30 am (depending on volunteer location)
Course marshals direct runners as they make their way along the course and make sure that runners follow the course correctly and safely. Course marshals are also useful cheerleaders for runners – keeping their spirits high and providing them with encouragement!
Volunteers needed: 20
Cheer Stations / On-Course Entertainment
Location: The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines, Bastrop, TX – various locations along the race route
Time: 6:30 – 11:30 am (depending on volunteer location)
Every runner loves to be encouraged while making their way through the course – it helps to keep their spirits high and encourage them along the way! Cheer stations can be as creative as you want – pom poms, poster boards, music, costumes – anything appropriate is welcome and we encourage you to be as creative as possible!
Stations needed: 3-4

Microsoft Corp. is planning to develop a universal application programming interface (API) for physics processing on graphics processing units (GPUs). The API will become a part of DirectX and may revolutionize physics effects in computer games by offering game developers a universal technology.
The world's largest software maker has posted a job proposal for programmers, who will develop Direct Physics technology that will process physics computing on GPUs. The team will be primarily responsible for working closely with our Direct3D team, helping to define, develop and map optimized simulation and collision algorithms onto data structures that are optimized for the GPU, according to the proposal.
It is interesting to note that Microsoft intends to process physics solely on GPUs, not specially designed physics processing units (PPU) or multi-core central processing units (CPUs). Theoretically, it means that Microsoft shares vision of Havok with its Havok FX engine that allows computing physics effects using GPU power. This may pose some threat to Ageia, who is pushing its own environment for physics processing along with its hardware PhysX approach.
It remains to be seen, when Microsoft unveils its Direct Physics technology, as Havok FX, Havok 4 and Ageia physics engines are already here and are to be utilized by game developers, while it is not certain, whether the first release of the DirectX 10, due to be available in early 2007, will feature any enhancements for physics.
The fact that Microsoft is working on a special API for physics proves that real time, accurate simulation of physics are key parts of the next generation gaming experience.

Volume: 3 Issue: 2 Date: June 2011

(Previous issue:Vol. 3, No. 1, March 2011)
Abstract:The topic of this Special Issue is that action and lan guage are interwoven. Driven by traditional approaches that prevail in our education, we might be surprised about the connection between language and action, since we are inclined to view language as a symbolic system as it connects entities in the world with the corresponding conceptions that a perceiver has in mind. Action, on the other hand, was considered to be an event in the world that has to be perceived first. Only then, could it also be labeled by a perceiver, so a particular conception of it could be represented in the mind. The research from perspective on how cognition develops, however, contributed to findings suggesting that what we know about action, language and interaction emerge in parallel and have an impact on each other. This parallel development seems to provide a ground for further mental growth. For a system to develop, it requires different processes to interact not only with each other, but also with the physical world. This coupling is also a valuable source of intelligence as it provides knowledge that shapes the system's performance without actually being part of the system.

Abstract:We conducted a naturalistic study in which German mothers interacted with their three-month-old infants during diaper changing as an everyday activity. Following the idea that "acoustic packaging" educates infants' attention, we explored whether the verbal input to the infants in natural interactions simultaneously contains action information. Applying a microanalysis method, we first analyzed the data qualitatively by identifying classes of body movement and vocal activities (that we called vocal types). We used these categories to observe the multimodal interaction practices of mothers and to describe the interaction ecology of everyday activity. Second, we analyzed the co-occurrence of language (in the form of different vocal activities) and action (in the form of body movements) quantitatively. We found that during early interaction with infants, German mothers vocalize in a tight temporal relationship with action over a considerable part of the overall interaction time, thereby making the vocal signal both perceivable and tangible to the infants.

Abstract:Infants are able to adaptively associate auditory stimuli with visual stimuli even in their first year of life, as demonstrated by multimodal habituation studies. Different from language acquisition during later developmental stages, this adaptive learning in young infants is temporary and still very much stimulus-driven. Hence, temporal aspects of environmental and social factors figure crucially in the formation of prelexical multimodal associations. Study of these associations can offer important clues regarding how semantics are bootstrapped in real-world embodied infants. In this paper, we present a neuroanatomically based embodied computational model of multimodal habituation to explore the temporal and social constraints on the learning observed in very young infants. In particular, the model is able to explain empirical results showing that auditory word stimuli must be presented synchronously with visual stimulus movement for the two to be associated.

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between embodied interaction and symbolic communication. We report about an experiment in which simulated autonomous robotic agents, whose control systems were evolved through an artificial evolutionary process, use abstract communication signals to coordinate their behavior in a context independent way. This use of signals includes some fundamental aspects of sentences in natural languages which are discussed by using the concept of joint attention in relation to the grammatical structure of sentences.

Abstract: The current study addressed the degree to which maternal speech and action are synchronous in interactions with infants. English-speaking mothers demonstrated the function of two toys, stacking rings and nesting cups to younger infants (6-9.5 months) and older infants (9.5-13 months). Action and speech units were identified, and speech units were coded as being ongoing action descriptions or nonaction descriptions (examples of nonaction descriptions include attention-getting utterances such as "Look!" or statements of action completion such as "Yay, we did it!"). Descriptions of ongoing actions were found to be more synchronous with the actions themselves in comparison to other types of utterances, suggesting that: 1) mothers align speech and action to provide synchronous "acoustic packaging" during action demonstrations; and 2) mothers selectively pair utterances directly related to actions with the action units themselves rather than simply aligning speech in general with actions. Our results complement past studies of acoustic packaging in two ways. First, we provide a quantitative temporal measure of the degree to which speech and action onsets and offsets are aligned. Second, we offer a semantically based analysis of the phenomenon, which we argue may be meaningful to infants known to process global semantic messages in infant-directed speech. In support of this possibility, we determined that adults were capable of classifying low-pass filtered action- and nonaction-describing utterances at rates above chance.

Abstract: An understanding of time and temporal concepts is critical for interacting with the world and with other agents in the world. What does a robot need to know to refer to the temporal aspects of events-could a robot gain a grounded understanding of "a long journey," or "soon?" Cognitive maps constructed by individual agents from their own journey experiences have been used for grounding spatial concepts in robot languages. In this paper, we test whether a similar methodology can be applied to learning temporal concepts and an associated lexicon to answer the question "how long" did it take to complete a journey. Using evolutionary language games for specific and generic journeys, successful communication was established for concepts based on representations of time, distance, and amount of change. The studies demonstrate that a lexicon for journey duration can be grounded using a variety of concepts. Spatial and temporal terms are not identical, but the studies show that both can be learned using similar language evolution methods, and that time, distance, and change can serve as proxies for each other under noisy conditions. Effective concepts and names for duration provide a first step towards a grounded lexicon for temporal interval logic.

Abstract: Populations of simulated agents controlled by dynamical neural networks are trained by artificial evolution to access linguistic instructions and to execute them by indicating, touching, or moving specific target objects. During training the agent experiences only a subset of all object/action pairs. During postevaluation, some of the successful agents proved to be able to access and execute also linguistic instructions not experienced during training. This owes to the development of a semantic space, grounded in the sensory motor capability of the agent and organized in a systematized way in order to facilitate linguistic compositionality and behavioral generalization. Compositionality seems to be underpinned by a capability of the agents to access and execute the instructions by temporally decomposing their linguistic and behavioral aspects into their constituent parts (i.e., finding the target object and executing the required action). The comparison between two experimental conditions, in one of which the agents are required to ignore rather than to indicate objects, shows that the composition of the behavioral set significantly influences the development of compositional semantic structures.

|Ninth Season
|Head Coach
|Ninth Season
Video: My Santa Barbara with Brie Galicinao
Follow Brie Galicinao on Twitter
2012 Big West Conference Coach of the Year
2008 Big West Conference Co-Coach of the Year
Brie Galicinao will be entering her ninth season at UC Santa Barbara.
In her eighth season at the helm of the UCSB softball program, Galicinao led the Gauchos to a 19-35 (.352) season and 6-15 (.286) in Big West Conference play.
She guided Kristen Clark and MeShalon Moore to first team all-conference honors and Arianna Palomares and Jacqueline Hinojosa to second team all-conference status as voted by College Sports Madness. Clark, Hinojosa, and Moore were also named All-Big West along with senior Shelby Wisdom. Moore was selected as a first teamer, Clark and Wisdom earned second team accolades, and Hinojosa was recognized as an honorable mention. With Wisdom, Galicinao recruited and coached one of the top players in program history. Wisdom ended her run as a Gaucho ranking ninth all-time with 176 hits, sixth with 100 runs, fourth with 37 doubles, 10th with five triples, second with 30 home runs, and second with 127 RBI. While an injury kept her from pitching as a senior, Wisdom also set the school record in career pitching victories with 63.
In 2014, Galicinao led her team to its best regular season record in program history at 34-20 (.630). Additionally, she coached freshman Kristen Clark to all-region status after she put together one of the most impressive by a Gaucho ever. In 2014, Clark set the single-season program records in hits (90) and batting average (.437) in being named the Big West Freshman Field Player of the Year. Galicinao also guided Shelby Wisdom in become UCSB's all-time winningest pitcher with 63 career victories. With her 22 victories in 2014, Wisdom has now recorded the most and second-most pitching victories in a single season, including her 24 in 2012.
In 2013, Galicinao led UCSB to its second consecutive 30-plus win season (31-24) and its fifth winning season during her tenure. The Gauchos finished fourth in the league, but had five athletes receive All-Big West accolades. Jessica Soria and Shelby Wisdom were both named to the second-team, while Lauren Boser, Keilani Jennings, and Alex Pingree earned honorable mentions. Jennings also clubbed a team-high nine home runs, which catapulted her to the top of the program's all-time home runs leader list with 31.
In the spring of 2012, she led UCSB to its best league record (15-6) in program lore and its best conference finish since 2008. The Gauchos continued to battle for the conference title until the final day of Big West play, eventually finishing second.
Overall, the team posted a 30-28 record, marking the fourth winning season under Galicinao and her second 30-win season. She garnered Big West Conference Coach of the Year honors for the second time in her career, becoming the first UCSB coach to twice capture the accolade.
Seven Gauchos were named to All-Big West teams and freshman Shelby Wisdom became the the fourth player coached by Galicinao to earn a major conference honor as she was named Freshman Field Player of the Year.
In 2011, she coached UCSB to a 27-26 overall record and finished fourth in the Big West with an 11-10 league mark. Four of her players earned All-Big West honors. The team also set school records for double plays (32) and doubles (71) and tied the record for consecutive wins (nine).
In 2010, Galicinao coached four players to All-Big West honors and two earned Academic All-Conference accolades.
During the spring of 2009, Galicinao led UCSB to its seventh-consecutive winning season and second under her tutelage. The Gauchos finished the season with a 26-25 overall record and tied for fourth in the always-competitive Big West Conference. UCSB defeated four teams that were nationally ranked, including No. 4 UCLA on Mar. 24.
Five Gauchos earned All-Big West honors, including Big West Co-Field Player of the Year, Christine Ramos, and Big West Co-Freshman Pitcher of the Year, Krista Cobb. Ramos became the second consecutive UCSB player to earn Field Player of the Year honors and Cobb became the first Freshman Pitcher of the Year in program history. Both Ramos and Cobb also earned First Team All-Pacific Region honors, marking the first time since 2003 two Gauchos have earned all-region distinction.
In 2008, Galicinao led the Gauchos to a 30-24 mark and a 13-8 Big West record, their best conference mark since 2004 when the squad went 14-7. UCSB finished second in the competitive league behind Long Beach State. For her leadership, Galicinao was named Big West Co-Coach of the Year, sharing the honor with Long Beach's Kim Sowder.
The 2008 Gauchos had arguably one of the best seasons offensively in program history. Santa Barbara set team records for single season batting average (.291), runs (243), hits (425), home runs (38), total bases (625) and RBI (216). The Gauchos also led the Big West in all of those categories, as well as slugging percentage (.428) and on-base percentage (.357). Nationally, UCSB ranked in the top-50 for batting average, triples per game (0.22) and slugging percentage. Not just a power offensively, the Gaucho defense led the conference with its .967 fielding percentage and ranked 57th nationally.
Galicinao also coached Tiffany Wright to Big West Field Player of the Year honors, the first field player of the year in program history. Additionally, six other Gauchos received All-Big West honors. Off the field, four of her players earned Academic All-Big West honors and Ericka Hansen was named to Academic All-District 8 First Team.
Prior to being named head coach in June 2007, Galicinao spent two seasons as an assistant with the UCSB program. Galicinao worked with the bullpen and helped lead the Gauchos to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
In 2007, Jennifer Davis, one of her pitchers, was named the program's first-ever Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year while the Gaucho pitching staff led the conference with the lowest ERA.
In addition to her on-field duties, Galicinao worked with all aspects of the program, including recruiting, fundraising, and monitoring players' academics.
Prior to coming to Santa Barbara, Galicinao served as the Director of Athletic Relations at Princeton University and as an assistant coach for the Tigers in 2003, helping guide the team to a berth to the NCAA Tournament. Galicinao also worked as a softball camp and skills instructor for pitching and hitting and was the Assistant Director of Athletic Relations and Marketing at Princeton for over two years.
A four-year starting utility-pitcher at Princeton from 1999-2002, Galicinao finished three seasons hitting over .350 and ended with a career ERA of 1.47. She also led the team to an Ivy League Championship and the NCAA Tournament her senior year. Serving as the Tigers' captain that season, she earned a spot on the NCAA All-Region Tournament Team and NFCA All-Region Team and was honored with the C. Otto Von Kienbusch award as the university's Sportswoman of the Year.
Galicinao made history when she became the first athlete to win both Ivy League Pitcher and Player of the Year in the same year after leading the conference in several hitting categories and posting the 8th-lowest ERA in Division I during her junior year. She was also the first player to win Ivy League Pitcher of the Year twice in a career after winning the award again as a senior.
After graduating from Princeton, Galicinao played and led softball clinics in Italy before returning to work in the athletic department.
The Stockton, Calif. native earned her bachelor's degree in history from Princeton and M.A./Ph.D. in education from UC Santa Barbara. Galicinao resides in Santa Barbara.

Shame On Those Who Defiled Veterans Circle
To The Reader's Forum:
We grew up a generation of people that felt a deep sense of pride about our American flag. We learned at an early age to remove our hat, and to hold our hand over our heart whenever the flag was paraded by us. We learned that a great many people have died and are still laying down their lives to protect the freedom that Old Glory represents. When we look upon the American Flag, we see within its folds, the valor and the faith in Lexington and Gettysburg and the emblazoned eyes of the embattled farmers at Concord Bridge. We see the faces of the boys whose bodies lie today along the thunder smitten hills of France. For such a flag, true Patriots will always gladly die, and for such a flag good men will nobly live.
Here, in our small village of Cassadaga we proudly display more than 200 American flags. We, the veterans of Cassadaga Memorial Post 1280 of the American Legion are proud to display the flag. In particular, we fly the American, the POW/ MIA, and the New York State flag at our Veterans Circle in our community cemetery. Over 220 veterans have chosen this cemetery as their final resting place.
It is a spectacular circle, built by veterans, Boy Scouts and other volunteers.
Recently, someone or some people have chosen to defile our circle by destroying the American flag and the POW/MIA flag poles. The ropes were cut and the flags were stolen. Understand this you disrespectful criminals, you will not dampen our Spirit. You have taken our flags down, but we will put more up. These flags will fly in honor of our fallen Comrades.
Karl Lawson
Commander, Cassadaga Memorial Post 1280

WoW Talent System
I like WoW's talent system, a lot more than I thought I would in fact. It's so simple and clear compared to EQ2s AA system which is now becoming bloated and messy after so many expansions. I really like the definitive nature of the WoW talent trees, each offering a different way of specialising and playing your character. Unlike other MMOs, in WoW you are a 'Shadow' Priest or a 'Restoration' Druid and your talents really make a difference to your character and the way you play.
The big downside to all of this though is that you're severely shoehorning your character. For instance, my Warrior is Fury spec'd which, while a lot of fun, means I'm focused on DPS and I'm completely unable to tank for groups. I'd face the same problem if I went down the Arms tree so the only viable option for me is to spec Protection if I want to tank. And the problem with that is if I spec Protection I'll be dramatically reducing my DPS and making my solo questing sessions incredibly slow and painful.
Coming from EQ2, this is all a new experience to me. I'm used to tanks being tanks regardless of their AA spec – sure some might be more DPS orientated than others but all are able to tank regardless of how they spec. Same goes for healers. I don't remember anyone ever challenging me on my AA specification or refusing me a group because of it yet this is common place in WoW. Guilds only recruit 'Holy Priests' or 'Restoration Druids' and groups have tremendous difficulty finding tanks and healers because everyone specs DPS to level up quickly via questing.
I'm very much looking forward to the dual talent system which will hopefully arrive in the next update. I think it could make a huge difference to the lack of grouping WoW at the moment. I'd love to be able to switch between a DPS spec for soloing and a tank spec for grouping and I'm sure others would to.

Comments: Review:Best cold weather fishing glove I have run across and I have tried a lot. Not to bulky but still keeps your hands relatively warm while your index and thumb are exposed for better feel.
From: Mark: Columbia, TN USA
Comments: Great for fishing cold weather. I love the finger slits. It may hit your reel handle when reeling sometimes but it does not bother me at all.Don't really use the mitts but it is effective. Gloves are perfect because the 4 exposed fingers are really what you only need exposed for fishing on a cold day. Grip are nice. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

Guaranteed Income Supplement
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Paul Crête Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois' information tour on the guaranteed income supplement allowed us to observe that the federal government's inaction is not simply limited to this flagrant robbery.
Indeed, seniors who live alone, mostly women, are subject to unjust discrimination that condemns them to a life of poverty. What is more, these seniors' purchasing power diminishes because the real increases in the cost of living for seniors is much greater than the average indexation that they are given.
The federal government must make seniors' quality of life a priority, and the Bloc Quebecois will act as a watchdog on this matter.
In the short term, it is clear that this government should make it a priority to provide a full retroactive refund to seniors who did not receive the benefits to which they were entitled. This most economically disadvantaged group deserves this money, some $3.2 billion, through the guaranteed income supplement, money that they were deprived of for several years.
It is quite simply unacceptable to save money on the backs of our senior citizens.
International Mother Language Day

Yvon Charbonneau Anjou—Rivière-Des-Prairies, QC
Mr. Speaker, February 21 was proclaimed International Mother Language Day by UNESCO. The purpose of this day, which is being celebrated for the third time, is to promote linguistic diversity and multilingual education in all of UNESCO's areas of activity, and to increase development of fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue.
Mother languages are in integral part of our intangible heritage and are an essential component of everyone's cultural identity, an identity which must be protected and strengthened in the interest of all peoples in this era of accelerated globalization.
On this day, UNESCO pays tribute to the myriad of languages of the world and to the cultures transmitted therein. There are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world; some are written, others are not. However, on this International Mother Language Day, all languages are treated equally, because each one is a unique response to the human condition and each one is a living heritage that deserves our concern.
As the saying goes, "By speaking to one another we can understand one another".

Canadian Alliance
Jason Kenney Calgary Southeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, because of unfair labour restrictions that prohibit Ontario construction workers from doing jobs in Quebec, the Ontario government has re-enacted its fairness is a two way street law which will impose similar restrictions on Quebec firms.
This is the madness of internal protectionism, one of the reasons that Canada's standard of living and productivity are in decline. When provincial governments erect barriers to the free flow of goods and services like the construction trade in Quebec, we all lose.
This internal trade war is happening because the federal government has abdicated its constitutional responsibility to ensure domestic free trade and has failed to act on the 1994 agreement on internal trade.
Unfortunately, this government is sitting on the sidelines, while Ontario and Quebec have a dispute over manpower mobility. The Association pour le droit au travail is concerned about the future of tradesmen and is asking for help.
I urge this government to play a leading role to ensure true free trade between the provinces.
International Mother Tongue Day

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, today is the official opening of an exhibition of Pangnirtung tapestries called Nuvisavik: the Place Where We Weave, at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Pangnirtung is a Nunavut community famous for majestic scenery and abundant marine life as well as the artistry of the weavers and print makers. Pangnirtung is located in the south of Baffin Island and is one of the gateways to the spectacular Auyuittuq National Park. I have visited the tapestry studio in Pangnirtung many times and was impressed by the hard work, artistic vision and dedication of the weavers.
I thank everyone involved in putting this exhibition on and encourage my hon. colleagues to attend this interesting exhibition in celebration of International Mother Tongue Day.

Tonight five time Canadian champion Jennifer Robinson competes in the women's figure skating program. I am sure all members of the House will join me in wishing her the best of luck.
Last night Windsor native Ed Jovanovski turned in a phenomenal performance and was instrumental in Team Canada's 2-1 win over Finland. We all wish Ed and the rest of Canada's men's team the best of luck as they continue their quest for the gold.
I am sure that not only my constituents in Windsor--St. Clair but all Canadians join with me to say "Go Jennifer. Go Ed. We know you will do Canada proud".
Human Cloning

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, people continue ask the government to regulate genetic research and ban human cloning. By not developing adequate policies on these issues, Canada is lagging behind other countries in this area.
Indeed, France, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Australia already have policies to regulate this fast evolving research area.
Let us not forget that there is a lot of money to be made by patenting cloning processes or specific types of stem cells.
Researchers and scientists agree that cloning techniques are still not refined enough to get into human cloning. The risk is too great. We must quickly ban reproductive cloning, to prevent apprentice cloners from doing the irreparable.
I urge the Minister of Health to introduce a bill as quickly as possible. It is urgent that we take action.
Black History Month
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
David Price Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, in 1995 the Parliament of Canada officially designated February as Black History Month. In honour of Black History Month the Government of Canada established the Mathieu Da Costa challenge in February 1996.
Mathieu Da Costa is generally recognized as being the first recorded black person in Canada, arriving at the start of the 17th century. He was reputed to be the first of many black Canadians who made important contributions to the country and shaped much of who we are as Canadians today. Mathieu Da Costa was a translator and interpreter who succeeded in bridging the linguistic gap between the Mi'kmaq people and the French explorers. By bridging the differences in language, Da Costa was instrumental in bridging cultures as well, creating an honest and open relationship between people of different backgrounds, which continues to be an integral part of Canadian society.
The Mathieu Da Costa challenge is administered by the Canadian Teachers' Federation. It invites elementary and secondary school students to research, discover and celebrate the contributions made by aboriginals and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural origins, such as Mathieu Da Costa, to the building of this great country of Canada.
Legal Aid

Peter MacKay Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS
Mr. Speaker, access to legal aid across Canada is in a serious state of decline. Just this morning we read that British Columbia is going to cut legal aid by 38%. In Ontario the legal aid pay scale has not changed since 1987. All regions are facing similar challenges and deterioration of service.
A lack of legal aid access to those in society who are in conflict with the law or in need of representation is suffering. This injustice cannot be ignored. Access to justice for low income Canadians is a national problem and needs to be addressed by our national government. We need to recognize the diverse legal needs of all Canadians, not just those who can afford it.
Fewer and fewer lawyers are offering pro bono work. Backlogs and delays and the increasing complexity of the law are all contributors to this situation. The lawyers that do legal aid work are like the MASH unit of the legal profession. Those dedicated few on the front lines are making it work only because they are consummate professionals who are often taken for granted.
I call upon the Minister of Justice to sit down with the provincial attorneys general and embark on a concerted effort to address this growing crisis in Canada.
Highway 11

Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, recently three transport trucks, one headed south and two headed north, collided on highway 11. Three people were killed. One of them, Bharat Saini, was from my riding. He is survived by his wife and two young children.
Highway 11 is increasingly the route of choice for trucks in Ontario headed for western Canada, especially in the winter. Improvements to this highway are therefore needed.
I call upon the Minister of Transport to work with his provincial counterparts in using infrastructure funds to make the necessary improvements to highway 11. This highway must be made safer for transport truck drivers and tourists and for all drivers.
Team Canada

Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, for the past few days, the Team Canada trade mission, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, has been travelling around Russia and Germany to promote Canada's trade relations, particularly for small and medium-size businesses.
The team includes representatives of Warnex, a Laval company which is developing a brand new technology for the speedy and inexpensive detection of the presence of GMOs in food, based on DNA, as well as the presence of bacteria. Warnex hopes to develop new business relations leading to international opportunities.
All the best to our Canadian companies and organizations who, by participating in Team Canada, will be able to explore the potential of these new markets.

John Reynolds Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence is too busy defending himself to focus on defending Canada.
Douglas Bland, a leading military expert at Queen's University, released a report today warning that our lack of defence spending is reducing our sovereignty and our clout on the world stage. He calls this another wake-up call for the government. The auditor general says that DND needs at least $1.2 billion just to keep its equipment in order.
When will the minister commit to giving our forces the support that they need?
National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
York Centre
Art Eggleton Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, the government is supporting our Canadian forces. Over $5 billion over the next five years in new money will be added to the budget. The budget will rank us the sixth country in NATO and the 16th in the world in terms of defence spending.
In addition to looking at money being put into defence, let us also look at what we get out of it, the outcomes. Let us look at what our troops are doing in Afghanistan and in the Arabian Sea. They are doing an excellent job.
National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast
Canadian Alliance
John Reynolds Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, they are doing such a great job he did not want to tell us for over a week when they did something.
The minister today hinted at a new defence white paper. A review of our military may be a good idea if only so that defence planning can be taken out of the hands of the minister and given to people who know what they are doing.
Many of our forces fear that a new defence white paper would simply be a way to justify reducing the size and the scope of the Canadian forces.
Will the minister commit that any new defence white paper will not reduce Canada's commitment to any of the objectives of the last white paper?
National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
York Centre
Art Eggleton Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, many of the fundamentals of the last white paper that was done in 1994 are quite relevant: protecting Canada and Canadians, contributing to security of the continent, contributing to international peace and security through peace support operations, through organizations such as the United Nations and through NATO. Those are still quite relevant.
We need to look at the kind of defence capabilities we need. It has been eight years since that white paper was designed. The security environment has changed. This is a good opportunity to do an update.
National Defence
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast
Canadian Alliance
John Reynolds Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the minister talked about money for defence, but this year in the budget he got $250 million and the auditor general said $1.2 billion just to break even.
Ambassador Cellucci put it pretty bluntly yesterday when he said that some people, including Liberal backbenchers, see further defence co-operation with the U.S. as a threat to Canadian sovereignty but find it perfectly acceptable to rely on the U.S. to provide lift to deploy Canadian troops.
We should not have to rely on the U.S. air force or commercial airlines to get our troops abroad or repeat the GTS Katie fiasco in trying to move our tanks and equipment.
Like our U.S., British and European allies, will Canada finally develop its own strategic airlift capacity?

CINCINNATI (Sept. 4, 2011) – The second-seeded teams of John Hyden and Sean Scott along with Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Hanson finished first on Sunday at the 2011 U.S. Open of Beach Volleyball at Hahana Beach.
In the men's championship match, Hyden (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) and Scott (Redondo Beach, Calif.) took some revenge against Ty Loomis (Corona Del Mar, Calif.) and Mark Williams (Australia), the team that beat them in the quarterfinals, by defeating them, 21-17, 21-18.
"This feels great," Scott said after the win. "Ty (Loomis) and Mark (Williams) really took it to us yesterday so we knew we had to step up, serve tougher today. We were able to pull off the win today and I just feel really satisfied right now."
Hyden added, "I really want to attribute this win to the Cincinnati fans – you guys have been awesome. Even when we lost yesterday you applauded us, our efforts and kept us up. I've had a great showing here the last several years and look forward to coming back here."
Hyden and Scott played their way into the championship game by beating the top-seeded team of Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) in Sunday's semifinals, 21-15, 18-21, 15-9.
Loomis and Williams defeated fourth-seeded Billy Allen (Venice, Calif.) and Brad Keenan (Santa Ana, Calif.) in the semifinals, 21-7, 26-24.
On the women's side, Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Hanson (Woodland Hills, Calif.), playing in their first domestic tournament of 2011, cruised through the bracket and took down fourth-seeded team of Jenny Kropp (Hawthorne, Calif.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.) in the championship, 21-19, 21-17.
On their way to the final, Kropp and Pavlik eliminated the top-seeded women's duo of Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) in the semifinals, 21-19, 16-21, 15-12.
Fendrick and Hanson beat fifth-ranked Brittany Hochevar (Hermosa Beach, Calif.) and Lisa Rutledge (San Diego) in the semifinals, 21-19, 14-21, 15-10.
"This feels great and it's nice to win this at home," Hanson said. "There's been a great crowd here. My partner (Lauren Fendrick) played unbelievable today and we're just thankful to be here."
The winning men's and women's teams each earned $22,500.

From the Monterey County, CA, Herald:
The Monterey County Public Defender's Office has filed a lawsuit that aims to remedy substandard health care in a jail that's "broken in every way," according to a complaint filed in federal court Thursday.
Calling the Monterey County Jail's medical and mental health care "woefully inadequate," the 72-page complaint lists a litany of allegations that, it says, combine with severe overcrowding to put the lives of staff and prisoners at risk.
