Enough said, he was drafted in the sixth round, the problem with this team isn't Quarterback..the Offensive line SUCKS!!!
Enough said, he was drafted in the sixth round, the problem with this team isn't Quarterback..the Offensive line SUCKS!!!
The majority people are comparing rookie seasons of current starter QB's that had rough rookie seasons...its really that simple.
I mean, the OP is correct to this point: he hasn't won--didn't beat anyone in college, and has not been consistent for us or shown up in the clutch. But I think most of us think he should get more than 10 starts to see if he can figure out how to do so; he has the tools.
It is quite normal though that teams take away a deep threat though (i.e. Hartline) but you can not tell me that Hartline in single coverage is not worth an attempt going deep. I hope we are talking about the same play with Bess but we can argue to no-end if Bess was at fault or not but if the safety comes over and makes the interception that means that the other side was in single coverage. Since deep passes are timing patterns Tannehill may have not recognized the coverage. Like I said we can argue to no-end and unless we know what is being said in the locker room we both just speculate.
My point is that it is not unusual for opposing teams to take away the #1 deep threat but it is up to the coaches to design plays around it and for the QB to execute these plays.
We both hope that Tannehill works out because otherwise we just invested a high draft pick, a boat load of money and another wasted season in failure.
Finheaven Tailgate Thread: http://www.finheaven.com/showthread....ilgate-East-22
Also Hartline doesn't demand double coverage. Miami needs a WR who can take the top off and requires double coverage, in same respects as stacking the box. I feel next offseason those things WILL be addressed and hopefully they will be addressed without Ireland.
I would guess that over half the people here talking about Manning have never seen the guy play in 98. I did. Unless the games with the Dolphins crossed Indy was shown quite frequently in South FL. Back then Indy was in the AFC East. The Jets and Pats were the door mats. Manning threw the ball deep in his rookie year as often as Marino in his latter years. If you want to compare Tannehill to Manning you have to wait until Tannehill throws it 8, 9 10 times and more per game deep.
Those who think Tannehill is our franchise QB already compare him to Manning. What is to say that the nay-sayers can not compare him to Ryan Leaf who was selected right behind Manning at #2 and never amounted to anything? But these are two extremes and neither is a true indicator of Tannehill. I think a comparison within Tannehill's range would be much better and fairer to Tannehill. Manning is a true pocket passer who can dissect a defense with his arm strength. Tannehill is not and cannot. QBs coming out of college today are different athletes. You can not compare them (or the other way around) with the Mannings, Marinos, Kellys etc.
If you want to compare Tannehill to a starting QB why go over 14 years back when the understanding of a franchise QB was different than today?
---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
People also forget about Manning is he had future HOFer talent around him from day 1.
Harrison and Faulk.
2 of the most important positions for a rookie qb.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
To say he is a good QB or not right now is really stupid. No one knows unless you can see into the future. Some look great at points within their first year some don't. I'll bet some of the same so-called experts around here wish the Fins could have drafted Ryan Leaf. You people kill me. So many GD experts. You should be a GM to some team right now. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Betty Crocker's Heart Healthy Cookbook shares a recipe! This slow-cooked side dish features a hearty combination of wheat, barley and rice!
Use this scrumptious grain filling to stuff bell pepper shells. Steam cleaned bell pepper halves (any color that you are in the mood for) just until tender so that they still hold their shape. Spoon the hot cooked grain mixture into the halves, and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Canola oil is recommended for its heart-healthy benefits when you are sautéing or baking. Because this recipe is so low in fat and because the butter imparts a wonderful flavor to the grains, butter is listed first in the ingredient in this recipe. If you prefer to use canola oil, that also works very well in this tasty side dish.

Vermeer, Fabritius & De Hooch: Three Masterpieces from Delft
14 February - 24 May 2009
National Gallery of IrelandBeit Wing (Room 31). Admission free.
Three world-renowned paintings by Dutch 17th-century masters, Vermeer, Fabritius and De Hooch, are the focus of a special exhibition in the Beit Wing of the National Gallery of Ireland from 14th February until 24th May 2009. Admission is free.
The paintings are: 'The Goldfinch'(1654) by Carel Fabritius, on loan from The Royal Cabinet of Paintings Mauritshuis, The Hague; 'The Courtyard of a House in Delft' (1658) by Pieter de Hooch, on loan from The National Gallery, London, and the National Gallery of Ireland's, 'Woman Writing a Letter with Her Maid' (c.1670) by Johannes Vermeer.
All three paintings were produced at the height of artistic prosperity in the Dutch city of Delft. Celebrated for their depictions of daily life, these artists are acknowledged masters in the rendition of light, perspective and spatial illusion.
Fabritius' small panel painting 'The Goldfinch' was painted in the last year of the artist's short life, and has become one of the most iconic images of the Dutch Golden Age. It will be shown alongside De Hooch's celebrated painting 'The Courtyard of a House in Delft', considered one of the artist's most accomplished works in capturing natural light and linear design. Complementing these two paintings is the Gallery's masterpiece by Vermeer, 'Woman writing a Letter with her Maid' which is one of just 36 extant paintings by the artist.
An illustrated brochure, written by Dr. Adriaan Waiboer, accompanies the show. A series of talks on the individual artists in the context of the Delft School will commence Sunday 15th February at 3pm (admission free).

What We Are All About
Community shared agriculture is more than just a means to fresh produce. It is a cry from the people for better food. Food that is large and plump and the perfect colour is not necessarily good food. The cookie cutter produce that can be bought from the large grocery chains may look the part but they are usually seriously lacking in taste and freshness. Have we forgotten what garden fresh peas are supposed to taste like?
Part of the underlying problem for the whole scenario is that grocery stores have a monopoly on consumers. A CSA offers an alternative. A CSA is not for everyone. It is an investment in not only the garden for that season but also in the shareholder for life. It is a pledge to eat healthier by cooking at home instead of grabbing fast-food. It is an adventure because you may be exposed to food you have never seen before let alone cooked or eaten. It is a commitment to the grower that you'll be there when your box is to be dropped off. It is a chance to defy the norm and dare to think outside the big-box.
We challenge you to be a part of our quest for not just better food but great food!

look closely, the lady at the Texas welcome center looks just like the clown....

We took several breaks. One of which was Rayne, LA 'Frog Capital of the World." We didn't have a chance to ask the locals just how many frogs you have to have to qualify for such a title as it really should have been named, "Mosquito Capital of the World", thank you!
Monsieur Jacques was there and was so kind to take a photo with us.
My Aunt Gigi called and told us a little saying that is so appropriate..."Sundown to Sunset, you still haven't seen all of Texas yet." Boy, ain't that the truth! We crossed the border and would you know there are over 880 miles of highway across Texas?! I knew it was big but, woah!
Got to San Antonio around 9. Will be going to bed as soon as I get the wash.
Considering we were all stuck in a minivan together for 9 hours today, we still managed to have a good time. :)
Oh, almost forgot, the woman at the welcome center has named the clown, Tex.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family Pictures
Love the photo at the welcome station w/ all of you in the state's form...;o)
Yes, the Welcome lady could be related to your clown - the new- Tex!
Buttons/Bubba Dollars/ Tex. Waiting to see what other names he will collect?
It was over 30+ years ago when Corbett & I were traveling with the Baker girls and as we entered Texas State Line...the Triple AAA had the little poem we all remember to this day.... "The sun has riz, the sun has set and you ain't seen all of Texas yet!!!!!"
Glad your longest day is behind you.
great pics......soo glad your having the time of your life....I know your thinking of me I can feel it :) I miss you!!!! look foward to the next one! <3 you!
Fascinating Frog Fact - one of their favorite foods is the mosquito...can you imagine how bad it would be if there weren't that many frogs? No wonder they've build a monument!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The Canadian flag was displayed prominently with the United States flag, and both national anthems were played Wednesday at the Mississippi Economic Council's Hobnob.
The event, designed to allow the state's business leadership to hobnob with the political leadership, drew about 1,000 statewide to the program where Canada was recognized as Mississippi's largest trading partner.
Gary Doer, Canada's ambassador to the United States, had to cancel his plans to attend the event – held under a large tent at the state's Agriculture Museum – because of travel problems on the East Coast caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Stephen Brereton, consul general of Canada's Consulate in Atlanta, spoke in Doer's stead and said the trading relationship with Mississippi is important to his country and predicted it would only be strengthened in the coming years.
"We would like to see the relationship continue to grow," he said.
Gov. Phil Bryant predicted there would be cooperation in the future on manufacturing efforts between Canada and Mississippi. He cited energy as an area for growth.
Canada already is America's top supplier of energy. But Brereton said Canada also wanted to expand its alternative energy efforts. He cited Quebec-based Enerkem locating a plant in Pontotoc to convert municipal waste to ethanol as a cooperative biofuel effort.
The plant, which took advantage of $130 million in federal funds, will employ more than 70 people in Pontotoc.
Mississippi exports $1.8 billion annually to Canada, including equipment and machinery, vehicles, plastics and rubbers and forest products. More than 60,000 Mississippi jobs depend on exports to Canada.
Mississippi imports $815 million annually from Canada.
"We make things together" Brereton said.
Bryant cited the possibility of a partnership to build ships. He said Canada was in the process of adding ships.
"We are very good at building ships," the governor said.
Canada is the top trading partner with 35 states.

I feel for you, I like WVU, better than i like VaTech, but seeing one team **** the bed is the same as watching any other team **** the bed.
Better luck next week
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
State Traitor huh. Pretty brutal.
1) Like yourself, Ive stayed in this state and worked here during my adult life. Im sure you had many opportunities to leave and make more money as did I. Knowing your profession, its a lock you couldve chosen to go elsewhere for better pay. I love it here. Its a nice place to live and raise a family. Traitors dont stay by choice. Plenty of us who do get an education, pack it up for jobs out of state. You know thats true.
2) Most importantly, since when is rooting for a bunch of imported thugs who couldnt give 2 ****s about our great state the true test of loyalty to said great state? You call someone who refuses to root for these imports a traitor? Traitors are those who continue to vote for these democrats who want to shut down the coal industry. Traitors are those who took advantage of what this state has to offer and then up and leave to make a higher salary at a similar job elsewhere.
I root for a true West Virginian..... NICK SABAN!!! Most people dont know Saban is a native West Virginian through and through. The reason for this, is the people in this state are too busy standing in line to suck Pat White's dick. Pat White is from Alabama btw. I would have gladly traded them Pat White for Saban. But, not people around here. Hell, even a lot of these import worshipers dont even realize Saban grew up down the road.
A guy like you I get why you root for that program. You probably went to school there like I did. What I dont get is all the mouthbreathers who have never even stepped foot on a college campus, much less WVU, who run around acting like this program is the best thing representing our great state. Total BULL****!!!! First of all, outside of the state, nobody really respects that team. And why should they? WTF has that program ever won that mattered? Score 70 in a bowl against Clemson? Nice job. Clemson ****ing blows.
If people want to pretend that team represents WV, then let em I guess. I can think of thousands of things about this state I would rather boast about than that ****ty football team full of dumb thugs and rejects from Florida and Maryland. Most of those kids come there just to play a sport. They have no interest in the state. People walk around rooting for Devin Ebanks in the NBA..... WHY? Devin Ebanks dosent give a **** about WV. You could see that with his effort while he was here. People who watch the NBA and know who he is likely have no idea he played at WVU. Its a joke.
These morons they import all think they are going to the league so they just come to WVU to get more playing time than at Florida, Florida St, or the U. Some of them turn out to be good players that those schools missed on. Some of them were just too stupid to get in those schools. Rejects. Id rather root for a team full of true West Virginians that goes 1-11 every year than that garbage.
And I realize not all of those kids are worthless thugs, but a good portion of them are. If you went to school there, you KNOW. I had a class with Pac Man Jones. Saw him once..... in class. Saw him plenty at Bent Willy's. Then when the games are on they put that graphic up with his 3.something GPA.... GET REAL. He's there to play football. He cares nothing for the state or the people in the stands paying to watch that garbage.
How bout that DB from the undefeated regular season 88 team? The one who got arrested for an armed robbery of a Go Mart near Clarksburg a few years back. He was just hanging out in Morgantown after football dealing drugs his whole life.
On top of all of that, that team will never win a god damned thing. Sure they had their BCS games against teams that were uninterested or caught off guard. Good for them. Nobody outside of the state remembers that ****. Win a national title. Never will though. Thats why I would just assume play with real West Virginians and be who we are. These reject imports will never bring us a title.
So what do I do? I root for a real West Virginian. In fact, the GREATEST West Virginian of all time. **** Jerry West, Mary Lou Retten, and even Chuck Yeager. Nick Saban is the ****ing man. With this new system coming up where 4 teams get in a playoff, Saban may go on a run of 5 or 6 titles in a row. He would go down as the greatest coach in history. People in this state will be too busy hyping up the next Geno though. Sad really.
If WVU had been smart, they wouldve thrown a huge contract at Saban instead of re upping Rich Rodriquez to try and keep him from going to Alabama. We did Bama a huge favor by keeping them from Rodriquez. But, we didnt want Saban. He didnt bring us Pat ****ing White. Rodriquez MANIA WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Now everyone in WV calls him a traitor. So funny. He tried to leave once and those idiots threw more money at him like that was going to keep him from going to the next job offer. Idiots.
Calling me a state traitor and giving me negative rep...... pretty lame bro. Enjoy scoring 60 on some garbage team in the Alamo Bowl. ROLL TIDE!!!!!
Damn. WV going in. It does piss me off how many South Florida players West Virginia steals, usually because they don't have the grades to get into Miami, Geno Smith being one of them though for reasons of Randy Shannon being a tard.
How bout the rankings this week btw. Another reason I cant take college ball so seriously. How is Texas Tech with the exact same record(overall and conference) ranked one spot behind WVU? They are only about 5 scores better than the mountaineers. How bout they were underrated and the mountaineers were extremely OVERRATED!
Now if they beat an overrated K State team in Morgantown on Saturday they will jump right back into the top 10 where they dont belong. They still havent beaten a good team all year. Texas is hot garbage.
WVU has one connection in Miramar, where Geno Smith went. Everyone else they snag because of bad grades. Marshall has done it as well as Louisville.
I've never been a fan of BCS rankings. To be honest, I think college football is having a down year this year. Just ****ty football all around if you ask me. Even in the SEC, schools like LSU and Florida just aren't that good. Absolute abominations on offense. Disastrous QB's. It will catch up to them a couple times at least. It's Bama and everyone else again this year.
You heard me.
Now, on to more important **** ...
It's rebound time!!!
#13 WVU vs. #4 Kansas State
2017 Goals:
1) Win the next game.
2) See #1
"The problem with internet quotes lies in verifying their authenticity."

Meh ... Silly K-State - Fistpumps won't get it done tonight.
3-0, bad guys.
The onslaught begins after the commercial break!
Jesus, our line sucks. GET THE CORN!
... nice roll on the punt, I guess.
Why does it look like it's MY fat ass in our secondary trying to cover receivers???
Swear to god, I wanna punch our secondary coach in the dick!

What You'll Need: scriptures, difficult puzzle or math problem, GAK 318, coloring page, coloring tools.
You can also choose to download the pdf of LESSON 25 for easy printing. If you download, please leave a comment here on what you like about this lesson. Note: GAK vs GAB pictures explained here.
Opening Song: Faith (PCS #96)
(Attention Activity) Display a tricky puzzle you have or a difficult math problem. Ask the children to solve the puzzle. When they cannot solve it ask them what they would do to figure out how to solve it. (Ask someone who knows how to fix it for help).
- Have you ever had a problem that you didn't know how to solve?
Today we are going to learn about a Book of Mormon hero who had a problem he couldn't solve and read about how he got his answer.
Jared and his brother were righteous men who lived in a city called Babel. Most people were wicked. The Lord told the brother of Jared to gather his family and friends and journey northward. The Lord led them through the wilderness to the seashore, where they lived for four years.
While the Jaredites camped by the sea, the Lord chastised the brother of Jared for not praying. The brother of Jared realized how important it is to pray and ask the Lord for guidance. The brother of Jared repented, and the Lord forgave him.
The Lord told the brother of Jared to build barges to take his people to the promised land. After eight barges were finished, the brother of Jared realized the barges had two serious problems. There would be no fresh air and no light. Because the Brother of Jared had learned to pray, he decided to ask Heavenly Father how to solve those problems. He prayed and asked God for help.
The Lord told the brother of Jared to cut a hole in the top and the bottom of each barge. The holes could be opened to let air in and closed to keep water out. The Lord asked the brother of Jared to think of a way to have light inside the barges. The brother of Jared formed 16 small stones that were clear like glass. He asked the Lord to touch the stones so they would give light.
(show GAK 318)
The Lord touched each stone with His finger and gave them light. Because the Brother of Jared had such great faith he saw the Lord as he touched the stones. The brother of Jared took the stones and placed one in each end of the barges. They gave light to the Jaredites as they traveled to the promised land.
- Who can you ask for help if you have a problem you cannot solve?
If we ask the Lord for help He will answer our prayers. Sometimes he answers with a quiet whispering to our minds, sometimes we find our answers in the scriptures or the words of a Primary song and sometimes the Lord sends others to help us. No matter how He answers our prayers He will always find a way to answer them because we are His children and He loves us.
Bear your testimony about receiving guidance through prayer. Share a specific example of a time in your life when you had a problem and took it to the Lord in prayer. Share the answer you received.
(For tips on sharing your testimony please click here.)
Practice Song: If you are teaching your family the JUNE Song of the Month, go over the words and music with your family.
Activity: Choose from the following activities as they best suit your family.

Annual corporate philanthropic contributions topped $2 million
Annual corporate philanthropic contributions topped $2 million
Investment and Innovation
Intel has been investing in the state of Washington since 1996. The company's employment in the state totals approximately 1,000 people at two facilities: the DuPont Development Center and RidgePointe, a leased office building in Bellevue.
Intel's primary focus in DuPont is engineering research and product development, with an emphasis on powerful and efficient technology platforms for business.
Engineers in DuPont also help design chipsets for servers, power and thermal solutions, and diagnostic tools used in testing components and computer systems prior to commercial release.
At RidgePointe, Intel software engineers work with industry partners to enable optimum performance of new technology platforms.
Intel also has a close relationship with the University of Washington. The College of Engineering serves as the hub for the Intel Science and Technology Center, a collaboration with university researchers to accelerate the development of next-generation technologies that can learn, adapt and interact to provide consumers with a personalized experience.
Intel in the Community
The Puget Sound Business Journal ranks Intel among the top corporate philanthropists in Washington. The company's annual contributions in the state top $2 million, including support of computer science, engineering research, and other programs at the University of Washington.
Intel also supports K–12 education in Washington—primarily in Pierce and Thurston counties—through funding for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, with a particular focus on female and minority students. The company's 2011 investment in K-12 education was more than $200,000.
The Intel Foundation also distributed more than $180,000 to schools and community organizations in Washington through the Intel Involved Matching Grant Program. The donations are made when Intel employees and retirees volunteer more than 20 hours in a year.
Intel employees and retirees also support the community through an annual giving campaign. Including a matching grant from the Intel Foundation, the 2011 campaign in Washington generated contributions through United Way of more than $435,000.

You don't need to boil oven ready lasagna noodles, which cuts prep time. The mild enchilada sauce pairs well with chicken.
The lasagna noodles won't cover the entire baking dish; they expand as they absorb liquid and cook, so when the dish is done, the lasagna will fill the pan. Look for oven ready lasagna with the rest of the dry pasta in the grocery store.
Green enchilada sauce is more mild than red enchilada sauce. Red enchilada sauce can be substituted, but the flavor will be spicier.
Lasagna can be made the night before, refrigerated and baked the next day. Add a few minutes of bake time.

Add something cheesy to your family's French dinner! Enjoy this polenta and ham casserole – ready in 45 minutes.
The French word gratin refers to recipes that are topped with cheese or buttered bread crumbs before being browned in the oven. Gratin dishes are shallow, producing a broad surface area for the best part—the crispy topping.
Polenta is a mush made from cornmeal. It is available ready-to-eat and packaged in a plastic wrapper in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. It can also be found in the shelf-stable section of the store.
Assemble this recipe in four oval ramekins, evenly distributing the polenta slices, ham, cheese and sauce. Bake the gratins as directed until the cheese is lightly browned.

text: I was poking around on Ain't it Cool News the other day, casting about for the Fall TV premiere schedule I'd seen posted in the television section when I discovered news of a long awaited gem! Buckaroo Bonzai Across the Eight Dimension is finally coming out on DVD! The DVD will feature a movie-length commentary by the director, deleted scenes (also with commentary), and a mess of other nifty extras! If you've ever had the opportunity to read Mike Nelson's Movie Mega Cheese (yes, Mike of MST3K) you know how he raves that the DVD is the greatest invention in the history of man. I have begun to agree from the moment I finally got one for myself. And now one of JediCole's top 100 films of all time (that I've seen) is going to get the DVD treatment. This is one of the more ironic favorites since the first time I saw it (at my brother's insistance) I hated every frame! I watched it a second time (again at my brother's insistance) and have been a staunch fan ever since. And it gets better. I showed BB to friends in college who hated it until they watched it a second time! And others have told me the same thing. Now even more people will have a chance to enjoy a hate/love relationship with one of the quirkiest cult classics around!

I just wasn't feeling up for the scramble that day. The Mt. Baker area is spectacular. Lots of snow up there still.

|Not much actual "climbing" or scrambling on this route, but nevertheless a great objective... the hike in is beautiful with a lot of time above treeline and with views of the North Cascades. The last part of the hike is a great ridge run and the summit is nice and airy with great views of the North Cascades and Frasier Valley. The summit block looks nasty when viewed from the false summit but turns out to be quite easy Class 3 scrambling once you get to the saddle between the false and true summits.

|A very senic scramble in the spectacular Nooksack area. This trip is much more enjoyable as a mellow backpack trip, than a rushed daytrip. We had a senic and lonesome camp on the ridgetop meadows above the tarns, where everyone else camps. A snowmelt stream provided water. Mt. Rainier was even visible from our high camp. The summit block scramble is steep and exposed for the first 80 - 100 ft. , but with solid rock and lots of good holds.

|After a leisurely hike to Yellow Aster Butte(s) under breezy, cloudy skies, the next day provided plenty of sunshine for this fun trip to Tomyhoi. We followed the ridge top all the way and gained elevation just to lose it again at the next notch. Skirting around bunch rock formations which all made us wonder where the actual summit was. Finally after a short snow traverse we got the first glimpse of the true summit block what looked like a difficult rock climb was actually a fun scramble to the top. The close up views of Baker, Shuksan, Border Peaks, Larrabe, as well as further east N. Cascades were impressive.

A glaze of maple syrup, soy sauce and bourbon adds a flavorful kick to grilled chicken.
Indirect cooking varies depending on whether you have a charcoal grill or gas grill, how the burners on your gas grill are configured and what you are cooking. Refer to your grill manufacturer's booklet for directions on indirect grilling. If no directions are available, try these methods:
•For a two-burner gas grill, heat one burner to medium; place chicken on unheated side.
•For a one-burner gas grill, place chicken on grill over low heat.
•For a charcoal grill, move medium coals to edge of firebox; place chicken on grill rack over drip pan.
The glaze is so good, you may want to double it and pass some to serve with the chicken.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Tupelo's Early Childhood Education Center – a public school for four-year-olds – proves that a community determined to offer pre-kindergarten education using its available non-state resources can find a way to achieve that goal, providing a useful, quantifiable jump-start on learning for its youngest students.
Funding in the long term, however, needs to come from the state as part of a larger sustained commitment to pre-K education statewide, possibly through varied partnerships and collaborations.
The ECEC, as the school on North Green Street is known, has 260 students – all it has room and money to support. The funding base is federal payments received by the Tupelo Public School District, the only realistic option in the absence of state funding, an issue in the legislative pipeline in the 2013 session.
The Tupelo district wants to grow the ECEC to 400 students, and the lead advocate is Superintendent Gearl Loden. An expansion would require more classrooms and additional teachers. Each additional class would cost about $100,000 more per year, inclusive of all expenses. An enrollment of 400 would be an approximate equivalent of 80 percent of kindergarten students who enroll in the system every year.
The power behind the planned growth is in the results:
• The rate of learning growth of at least a year has been achieved by at least 70 percent of the students 15 of the 16 years the program has been housed at the former Martin Luther King Jr. school. Every year has achieved at least 60 percent, and eight years the rate has exceeded 80 percent.
• Each teacher reads at least six books to students every day in every classroom. Some students who enter ECEC through its open enrollment process have never seen a book, much less heard one read.
• Minority students who have completed the ECEC scored much higher on standardized tests once enrolled in K-12 school. Approximately 55 percent of the ECEC minority students scored proficient on third grade state reading tests, 20 percentage points higher than students who did not attend ECEC.
Some of the pre-K education plans moving forward in the Legislature could be financially helpful to ECEC in collaboration with application for funding made with other pre-K providers.
Every community needs strong pre-K education – an early classroom, not just day care.

Moved to Debian 'sarge'!
Hey so after using RedHat/Fedora distro's for 6-8 years... well since I started using linux, I've finally moved to Debian.
How did it happen?! Well I got news of FC3's release, so I downloaded the images. Then I set about burning them on CD. Just then I bumped into my Debian 'woody' CDs, that I had burnt for some reason (I forget :-/).
Anyhoo, so since I was reinstalling, I said might as well give Debian a shot finally. =). And I'm liking it more than ever before! Not that I think that Fedora is not a good distro. It was just that I finally realized that Fedora was not my kind of distro.
I'm involved in Gnome development (off and on), and I felt that Gnome was too tightly bound to the distro as a whole in Fedora. This meant that if I need an immediate Gnome upgrade, I'd have to wait for the next Fedora relase. Yes, I know some people might say that there are ways to get past that, but...ain... i r lazy :-P
Anyhoo, I guess what will follow over the next few days would be my experiences get acquainted with the "Debian Way".
I finally moved to Debian from Redhat/Fedora!!!
Saw this on someone's blog on Planet GNOME.
Hint: George W. Bush Jr.
I love RC2
So I decided to clean up my Java Framework installs on my box. I had FC2 installer have gcj & friends installed, though I ended up using the j2sdk from Sun. So I though might as well just remove gcj stuff (my reasons are purely untechnical. I do no research)
Anyhoo, as I tried to remove libgcj, I got a whole lotta dependencies. And I thought it a pain to "rpm -e" each one separately (Which I'm suprised I did usually uptil now). Then I remembered I had RC2 installed.
So I fired it up and marked libgcj34 for removal. It checked its dependency chart, gave me all the dependency required to remove, I clicked "Continue", and VALA!
I love OSS and RC2 :-D

Went for OZZFEST 2004 at Camden, NJ today :-). It was SOOO awesome! They had a long lineup of bands playing from 9 in the morning uptill midnight. However I was going for only 2 bands..
Judas Priest and Black Sabbath!
Got in at around 5PM. Some stupid band by the name "Super Joint Ritual" was playing. And even more stupid people were getting a huge mosh pit going. Thats when I learned my rule for mosh pits.
They are fun, as long as you see them from a distance :-D
Anyway, Judas Priest rocked! Played good hits like "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Breaking the Law" among others.
Then it was Black Sabbath's turn. A guy from the local radio station who sponsored the event comes on stage and my worst fears are realized. Ozzie ain't coming, because he is down with bronchitis apparently!
Anyway I felt Black Sabbath still rocked (some old friend of Ozzie's from Birmingham was on vocals).
gconf-schemas-writer NEWS
So yesterday I checked in initial code for gconf-schemas-writer in Gnome CVS. gconf-schemas-writer is basically a simple app which is usefule for editing (reading/writing/updating) .schemas files for the GConf database.

So if you want to contribute, or get started in a Gnome project which is not that huge, checkout the source from Gnome CVS (module: gconf-schemas-writer)

Testicular torsion repair is surgery to untangle a spermatic cord. The spermatic cord is the collection of blood vessels in the scrotum that lead to the testicles. Testicular torsion develops when the cord twists. This pulling and twisting blocks blood flow to the testicle.
Most people will get general anesthesia for testicular torsion repair surgery. This will make you asleep and pain-free.
To perform the procedure:
Testicular torsion is an emergency. Surgery is needed right away in most cases to relieve pain and swelling and to prevent the loss of the testicle. For the best results, surgery should be done within 6 hours after symptoms begin. By 12 hours, a testicle may become damaged so badly that it has to be removed.
Risks of this surgery are:
This surgery is most often done as an emergency so there is often too little time to have medical tests beforehand. You may have an imaging test (usually ultrasound) to check for blood flow and tissue death.
Most of the time you will be given pain medicine and sent to a urologist for surgery as soon as possible.
Pain medicine, rest, and ice packs will relieve pain and swelling after surgery.
Do not put the ice directly on your skin. Wrap it in a towel or cloth.
Rest at home for several days. You may wear a scrotal support for a week after surgery.
Avoid strenuous activity for 1 to 2 weeks. Start doing your normal activities slowly.
You may resume sexual activity after about 4 to 6 weeks.
If surgery is done in time, you should have a complete recovery. When it is done within 12 hours after symptoms begin, the testicle can be saved most of the time.
If one testicle has to be removed, the remaining healthy testicle should provide enough hormones for normal male growth, sex life, and fertility.

In the lead up to this year's Pickathon, we've been sharing an exclusive series of videos from last year's fest. One of the best things about Pickathon is its musical variety with indie rock nestling right up against Americana, hip-hop, and soul. It's a potent mixture and the common denominator is that all of the acts are really good. Up today, we have a live performance from rock 'n' roller JD McPherson and band that'll get you up off your seat and dancing around the cubicle. McPherson remains dedicated to the early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly of the 1950s, updating and enlivening the music for a whole new generation.

PopMatters is partnering with Pickathon, an independent Oregon music festival that features a stellar line-up of indie rock, hip-hop, soul, country and Americana. We are going to be bringing you an exciting series of exclusive videos over the coming months leading up to the festival dates, August 5th through the 7th.
Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Sunny Ozell got together with some friends to make a record that drew upon all her varied musical influences. Ozell recently performed the first single "Git Gone" from that record, Take It With Me, on New York City's "Good Day" show ahead of the album's U.S. release on April 1st. We've shared the video plus a few tracks from the album below. If you enjoy "Americana with soul", you'll probably enjoy the rollicking song and perhaps her whole record too. The album features her own material as well as covers of classic tunes (from the likes of Hank Williams and Ray Charles) that Ozell selected across its eleven tracks. While in town, Ozell treated a small crowd at Rockwood Music Hall to many of those songs a few days before her television appearance, and we have some pics from that to share too. She will be starting a string of shows in California through the end of the month so check her out in her home state if you can. You won't be disappointed.
"It's unbelievable." The first words spoken in Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story sum up the horror about to unfold. Directed by Chris Sheridan and Patty Kim and released in 2006, the film tells a story that is alarming to this day. In 1977, 13-year-old Megumi was walking home from school in Nigata, Japan, and disappeared. Her mother, Megumi's younger brother Tetsuya says, "Even though I was just a kid, I knew something big was happening." Sakie, recalls worrying but not quite absorbing the profound loss before her. The camera hovers over the sidewalk where Megumi walked, looks up at tree branches that likely cast shadows over her. The sun sinks into a distant horizon, and a percussive soundtrack pulses, pushing forward, ever faster. The sea laps the shore, ominously.
Best of Enemies is a fascinating film about brilliant people behaving stupidly. It would be reassuring in a way to think that in the distant past, there was a time when American intellectuals could duke it out on the public stage before a mass audience held rapt by the sight and sound of ideas being wrestled into coherent form. We know such things don't happen anymore. How many Americans can even name two intellectuals to have such a debate?

Huskies extend winning streak over Cougs to 36 games
PULLMAN, Wash. – Four players scored in double figures for Washington State University who dropped a Pac-12 Conference matchup against the University of Washington, 79-72 at Beasley Coliseum Sunday.
Sophomore guard Tia Presley led the Cougars (5-12, 1-5, Pac-12) with 15 points and four steals while WSU finished the game shooting 42.4 percent after hitting 48 percent of its shots in the first half. Junior forward Sage Romberg and freshman guard Lia Galdeira each added 13 points while fellow freshman Mariah Cooks posted career highs of 13 points and six rebounds. Washington improved to 12-5 overall and 4-2 in conference play after hitting 50 percent of its shots in the second half and finishing the game with 12 made threes.
After struggling in the opening minutes in Tuesday's matchup, the Cougars shot 48 percent from the floor including six threes in the first 20 minutes of Sunday's rematch between the two schools. Galdeira got things started by scoring five of the Cougars six points and later making a couple nice passes to senior center Carly Noyes and Romberg for easy buckets.
The Washington State bench kept things going late in the half as junior forward Hana Potter started a 9-0 run with a layup, junior guard Brandi Thomas followed with a three in the right corner and Cooks finished a drive with a left-handed layin. Potter capped the run by again scoring from underneath to put WSU up four at the 10:58 mark.
Minutes later, the Huskies countered with back-to-back threes but Galdeira and Presley answered with consecutive threes of their own that brought the Beasley Coliseum crowd to its feet.
Galdeira was at it again late in the period, sparking a 12-5 run with 5:13 left by driving the lane and dishing to sophomore forward Shalie Dheensaw for a layup who was fouled on the play hit the free throw. The next two trips saw Romberg hit two jumpers from the baseline, Galdeira then added her own baseline jumper before Romberg knocked down a three for an eight-point lead with just over two minutes left in the half.
Washington again battled back, this time with the final four points of the half, picking off a WSU pass and getting a bucket in the final seconds to cut the Cougars lead to four at the break.
The Huskies scored the first nine points of the second half, expanding its run to 13-0 and opening up a five point advantage just under four minutes into the second period.
Presley settled things down for WSU with a three from the top of the key; Romberg added another trey and Presley hit two free throws that made it one-point game. Noyes capped the 10-1 run with a jumphook and Cooks later added a layup after receiving a bullet-pass from freshman guard Dawnyelle Awa before Galdeira gave WSU a 57-53 advantage with her third three of the game.
Washington continued to stay within striking distance with three-ball and later took the lead for good with seven straight points beginning at the 7:41 mark. The Huskies got a bucket and two free throws before taking the lead on Heather Corral's three in the right corner.
The Cougars got within one on the ensuing possession after Presley's runner in the lane with 5:45 left but UW hit threes on its next two trips and kept the lead around five until the final seconds.
With 10 seconds remaining, Cooks won a battle for a rebound and went back up for a bucket that brought WSU within three but Washington converted its free throws to seal up the win.
The Cougars continue Pac-12 play hosting the University of Oregon, 7 p.m. Friday and Oregon State University, 1 p.m. next Sunday.

Debussy was strongly attracted by the title 'Images'. He used it for the three groups of three pieces each all of which have meanwhile become a familiar part of the repertoire: the 'Images' I (1905) and 11 (1907) for piano and the 'Trois Images' for orchestra, composed between 1905 and 1912. Less well known is another group of three 'Images' composed as early as 1894, but not published until 1978. For this reason, they are not mentioned in several of the composer's biographies. The word 'oublies' was only added to the title by the publisher, Arthur Hore.

IMMERSEEL, JOS VAN - piano Erard 1897
C. Debussy
Well-known pianist and harpsichordist Jos van Immerseel's 'authentic' interpretations, based on a balanced combination of technique, improvisational talent, and theoretical knowledge, brought him international fame.
After working for many years with ad hoc- and guest ensembles, Jos van Immerseel founded an ensemble in 1985 that was better suited to the realization of his musical concepts and the results of his research. At the same time, it was intended to function as an experimental instrument for the testing of theory against practice. This was Anima Eterna.

CD Review, October 93
(...) Zijn spel straalt grote vitaliteit, kennis van de materie en subtiliteit uit. (...)
Preludes & Images is een van de interessantste Debussy - uitgaven van de laatste tijd.(...)
Volkskrant, July '93
(...) An altogether remarkable issue.
Tribune, October 1993
(...) "an unprecedented spectrum of tone" (...)

Captain's Report
Built to Last
Few builders of express cruisers like the 373 stress their construction techniques; these boats are more about comfort and convenience than toughness. But Cobalt, located almost in the exact middle of the U.S., about as far from the sea as one can get, engineers their boats for open-water use, using top-quality materials and methods. Slice into the hull of a 373, and you'll find not only fiberglass cloth, but Kevlar and carbon-fiber reinforcement, too. (Kevlar adds strength to a laminate; carbon fiber adds stiffness. They are both very expensive which is why most builders do not use these materials.)
Cobalt quality starts on the outside: All accent stripes, waterlines and graphics are done in the gelcoat during lamination – no decals or tape or paint as you'll find on many similar boats. A barrier coat behind the gelcoat prevents water absorption into the laminate; layers of fabric reinforcement are then hand-laid and rolled in vinylester resin, with coring – superlight but strong honeycomb material, not balsa or foam -- used where appropriate.
The solid bottom is strengthened with Kevlar – Cobalt says it's ¾" thick. The bottom is further reinforced with a full-length stringer system laid-up with carbon fiber to make it stiff and light. Finally, all structural bulkheads are vacuum-infused composites, again to maximize strength while minimizing weight. Cobalt is the only builder we know of which makes its bulkheads with this process. This is high-performance technology, utilized to built a truly first-rate family cruiser.
But It's Comfortable, Too
A rugged skeleton doesn't mean the Cobalt 373 is rough to the touch. The boat is plushly appointed, with comfortable seating all around the cockpit, a large, stylish salon belowdecks and two staterooms – the twin-berth second cabin is maybe a little tight, but fine for kids and occasional guests. All furniture and upholstery is done in-house, using the same care in the details that Cobalt exhibits in the boat's structure. Cobalt has built its reputation on yacht-quality fit-and-finish.
Prices and Recommendation
The MSRP of the Cobalt 373 is $448,597 with the twin MerCruiser 496 Mag HOs. The boat is well-equipped, but we'd want a few options. Cobalt offers a diesel Kohler generator in place of the standard 7.3-kW (CO-safe) gas model ($2,215 upcharge). Take your pick.The standard boat comes with an arch but no enclosure, which adds $4,481. We prefer a hardtop, although it's an $23,767 upgrade, including the enclosure. (Given the price of the boat, this adds just 5% to the cost, but we think it pays off with about 25% more utility for the boat.) A bow thruster is $7,571, oil-change system for engines and genset, $4,069, TV in the master cabin, $1,391. In all, a complete boat would cost us around $520,000 if we went for the Axius upgrade. But in any case, you'll get a nice boat, a beauty on the surface and a beast underneath. It would be a boat we'd look at if we wanted a first-class express cruiser – in this size range.
