First I want to apologize for possible spelling/grammar errors. English is not my main language so if you find errors, feel free to correct them so I can learn from it.
I'm making a game from scratch in C#. I don't use any engines, I just draw everything on a Forms.PictureBox width the Drawing.Graphics object and the game updates with a Forms.Timer with an interval of 20ms.
I want to know how I can check if my game doesn't require too much from my pc, so I want to keep track of the FPS and other things that have anything to do with how my game preforms/how 'heavy' it is.
It's a smaal 2d game so it should run smooth on almost every computer, but I just want to be able to see that if I add something new to the game, it doesn't make it like twice as heavy for the computer it runs on.
I'm sorry I can't be really spesific, but I just want to gather as much information as possible about the preformance/usage of the game so I can draw them on the screen for me to see how my game runs.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance.

I agree there is a need for such a party, but I don't see it gaining unless one of the majors suddenly implodes. The way the Republicans are heading that may happen. Other than that event, I don't see the need as creating the reality.
I am not willing to trust the current politicians that claim to be Libertarians. To me, they look like the same old harda$$ed, retrograde, conservative Republicans. Already the Libertarian message is clouded up by them.

June Top Notch Teacher
BANGOR, Wis. -- Math is a subject you either love or hate.
"I don't like math," said Amy Wilcox, Bangor High School senior.
Wilcox is in the dislike category. But Bangor High School math teacher Amber Mlynczak changed that for her.
"She made me like math," said Wilcox.
So, Ms. Mlynczak takes numbers and theroms and adds in a little fun.
"She planned activities to do and let us have fun," said Wilcox.102232
"I try to do the best job that I can to break things down so that everybody can understand," said Mlynczak.
Occasionally, Ms. Mlynczak will even teach a topic in a couple of different ways to try and reach students who have different learning styles. This approach sometimes equals one of the most rewarding parts of her job.
"I think the best part about it is when... and I don't mean to take away from any students... but when the struggling student really gets it," said Mlynczak. "It's really exciting becasue you just want to jump up in the air and say they got it. I'm so excited!"
And while there are a lot of rules in Math, she's hoping by helping some students look at the subject from a different angle she can create an appreciation for the subject.
"One of the things that I rally hope is that everybody learns to love math just a little bit," said Mlynczak. "They don't have to say, 'oh it's my favorite. I love math. I want to go every day.' But it's nice when kids find even that little bit of success so that they want to come back the next day."
And the impact of this success just multiplies the learning that takes place in the classroom.

Time for another Sauternes now. Deep down I think I'm a reasonably ordered individual, meaning I'm the sort of person who might just plod on with 2001 indefinitely (or at least until the wines run out). I think I will have to mix it up a bit though; there are so many other interesting Sauternes vintages to look at, including 1997, 2003, 2005 and 2007. I even had a good 1998 the other day.
So, coming soon, a different vintage, promise. For today though, another 2001. And it's another stunner.
Château Suduiraut (Sauternes) 2001: From a half bottle. There is some very subtle volatility which thankfully dissipates. I've had this before with 2001 Suduiraut; although the last bottle in 2010 was clean, the one previous in 2006 was quite pungent, although it did blow off to some extent if I recall correctly. Happily here the great concentration of botrytis some comes to dominate, all heady and perfumed, with intense aromas of oranges and apricot and some creamy almond tones too. The palate is confident, just as seductive as the nose, textured, with great grip and precisely defined fruit. No shortage of concentration as the nose suggested, honey on toast with a sprinkling of citrus freshness, backed up by lots of tangible extract. This has an amazing presence in the mouth, and is incredibly long. Another superb wine from a great vintage. 18.5/20 (January 2013)

Enduring fears about the situation in Ireland forced prices down in the week 22 to 26 November 2010.
In terms of sector, financial securities were hit particularly hard (banks –4.9%, insurance companies –4.5%).
The tyre segment was uncertain, after the downgrading of the sector by HSBC in view of the recent rally in natural rubber prices.
Pirelli closed the week at € 6.1, in line with Continental, Michelin fell by 2.4%. Pirelli volumes were in line with the average for the last month.
Pirelli upgraded by Equita (BUY, target price from €7.2 from €7.0). The broker has a positive view on the MoU signed with Russian Technologies and Sibur Holding to develop joint activities in the tyre and steelcord sectors, and in the supply and production of synthetic rubber derivatives in Russia.
Following Equita, the agreement will allow Pirelli to rapidly enter the Russian market with a technology compatible with Pirelli standards

Crews clear overnight snow
City working to scrape away ice ruts from last storm
MADISON, Wis. - Crews worked overnight to salt and plow Madison's main streets and Metro bus routes as a winter storm moved into the area.
Southern Wisconsin is under a winter weather advisory until 6 p.m. Friday. WISC-TV meteorologist Gary Cannalte said snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are expected through Friday with the heaviest amounts toward Grant County.
Thirty trucks were added to Madison streets at 5 a.m. to keep the main streets open, according to Madison Streets Superintendent Chris Kelley.
Madison will also have a few trucks dedicated to sanding potential slick spots.
Madison Street Division policy is to only hit residential streets once and if at least 3 inches of snow has fallen.
Inches of ice ruts from the last storm are testing drivers on residential streets in Madison.
Temperatures moving up and down has caused ice ruts on Tottenham Road on Madison's far west side.
"Right now, I'm fixing another car because, going out, the car got messed up, ripped pretty bad," said Willie Hardnett, who lives on Tottenham Road.
The Madison Streets Division said it's using graters to give crews the extra strength to scrape through the concrete-like ruts.19028600
"The plows weigh about 1,700 pounds, so you're not getting the down pressure that you would get with that, where that weighs about 60,000 pounds," said Thomas Sarbacker, a street machine operator.
"(We have) two end loaders out on each side of town, and a grater out on each side of town, and we're doing it as complaints come in, we've been taking care of it. But you've got to do it in between the snowstorms," Kelley said.
The city's policy not to salt its residential streets is keeping those ruts tightly packed and hard to push through.
"There's times I got the front tires off the ground. I'm scraping the road and it's just glazing it over; it's not even peeling it up. So it's a constant battle," Sarbacker said.
"It's pretty good they clear out the main roads, but I think they could do a little better on the side roads also," Hardnett said.
And with another storm looming, crews know they won't get to every rut, which is why they urge residents to remain patient.
"Is it easier to shovel your driveway before you've driven on it, or after you've driven on it? Well, you multiply that by thousands of cars against one snowplow, and one snowplow's going to lose every time," Sarbacker said.
As the snow falls, Madison is reminding residents to make sure their sidewalks are shoveled to avoid fines.
Already this winter, 750 people in Madison have been fined for not shoveling their walks.
The recent rain and extreme cold have iced over city sidewalks.
"In the last week or so, I've taken over a dozen phone calls from people who've slipped, fallen, broken bones," said Kyle Bunnow, a housing inspection supervisor for the city of Madison.
Bunnow said the city has received many complaints recently.
"This winter, so far, we've taken over 1,500 complaints, and I'd say we've taken 500 or so in the last two weeks," Bunnow said.
After the city receives a complaint, crews come out and take a look at the offending path. The fine is $114 for a first offense, and $177 for any offenses after that.
People can file a complaint about a sidewalk that isn't shoveled on the city of Madison's website under the "Winter" section. People can also find information on the website on where they can get free sand to put on their sidewalks.

Dir. Tiwa Moeithaisong
Troubled single mother Buss struggles to make ends meet and pay off her absent husband's debts, selling noodle soup from her food cart. One day she is caught in the midst of a student riot and dragged to safety by activist Attapol, with whom she begins a tentative relationship. Buss later discovers the body of one of the rioters in her food cart and decides to cook it, adding the meat to her noodle soup. Before long, her business becomes very successful, meaning she must find a steady supply of fresh human meat to use in her cooking…
Heavily marketed as the latest Thai 'torture-porn' export, Meat Grinder wears its promise of gut-wrenching gore and sadistic scenes of violence rather proudly. And so it should, for they are amongst the most startling and insistent scenes of carnage ever committed to celluloid. The opening monochromatic montage depicts a woman calmly preparing a human cadaver for cooking, smearing it with herbs and spices and marinating it before tipping it into a bubbling pot. After the credits, no time is wasted in getting to the first 'kill'; an unfortunate guy looking for his missing girlfriend – the babysitter of Buss's little girl, and as it transpires later, the mistress of her husband. The following scene is shocking in its matter of fact violence and exhibits a humour darker than night, as Buss attacks the man with a machete, cutting his leg clean off and then throwing it at him.
Cinematographer turned director Tiwa Moeithaisong films everything unflinchingly and with a style and panache rarely seen in such films. Style overkill does however threaten to confuse events as the use of rabid editing and inconsistent deployment of black and white photography confuse matters, and it becomes quite difficult to decipher the increasingly fracturing narrative – though it could of course be argued that this perfectly conveys Buss's ever-fraying mental state. Her blurring of past and present, real and imagined works itself up into a stifling haze.
Meat Grinder manages to set itself apart from the gore glut by exhibiting more bite than most, evoking memories of the likes of Delicatessen, Dumplings and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, before ultimately treading down its own unique, bloodied path. Incorporating elements of socio-political commentary and psychological investigation, the film unravels as an, albeit very violent and gory, exploration of a woman's tragic freefall into madness after a stilted life of abuse and heartache. Buss is portrayed by Thai pop-singer Mai Charoenpura, whose touching, brave performance elevates the character and ensures she has the audiences' sympathy despite the brutal acts of carnage she carries out. While she is presented to us as 'the monster', and make no mistake – some of the barbaric atrocities she carries out will be amongst the most flinch-inducing acts audiences will have seen – because of Charoenpura's performance and intelligent writing, Buss is a fully realised and tragically flawed character. The images of a distraught and bloodied Buss running, knife in hand, through the market streets are harrowing and heartbreaking. A startling amount of attention is paid to her back-story, which is another surprising element to what unfolds as a very unconventional film.
As mentioned, Moeithaisong works a little political commentary into proceedings too, not least with the character of Attapol (Rattananballang Toksawat), a political activist whose last words spoken are 'I'm the victim!' Stock footage of the student riots for democracy from 1973 is also edited into a number of scenes as though reminding us that the present is always haunted by the past – a statement affirmed by Buss's own flashbacks of a tragic childhood and years of abuse at the hands of her stepfather interwoven throughout the narrative. The interesting idea of food for atonement and how it nourishes and protects families is also touched upon and Moeithaisong ratchets up the tension in an expertly realised scene involving Buss stalking Nida, a female classmate of Attapol's, around her dank charnel house, machete in hand.
Despite lurid and deeply unsettling imagery, Meat Grinder has so much more meat on its bones than your average gore-fest and promises to be a truly visceral experience that improves with each nuance-revealing viewing – you might even find that it is the sorry plight of Buss, and not the violent acts she carries out, that lingers spookily in your mind.

We had a memorable day today. Even Dave, who isn't a person who likes tours (too much time spent on cruise ships as a musician) enjoyed it a lot as well as the 3 of us girls. An added bonus was the number of people from different countries in our group...Aruba, El Salvador, Atlanta GA (ok not so original), Venezuela and a guy who works for the UN and speaks about 6 languages, etc... We have met a few people from the US actually, but didn't for the first few days here.
We had an all day adventure, started with a coffee plantation for breakfast and learned about how coffee beans are grown. We then headed to Volcan Poas. On the "bus" ride up the mountain to see the volcano, we saw many cool things. There were several colorful ox carts (Costa Rica is well known for these) and their owners in the road along the way so we stopped briefly to check it out. Other cars on the road just drive around you when you stop..
The weather changed pretty quickly farther up the mountain... went from humid and warm to cool and foggy. Saw lots of bikers in fancy jerseys... that was a surprise, thought I was in Seattle for a second.
We arrived at the volcano and got lucky to see it fairly clearly. Once we were there for a few minutes though, the clouds came in and then lifted a bit. There is a lake made from rain that is always in the center of the crater. The ph of the water is .5 and acidic, on some days the smell of sulfur is pungent and so you can only stay for 20min... didn't smell too bad at all this morning. This volcano was active exactly 100 years ago, according to our guide - Will. Actually his name is Wuilding... a local that actually been to Seattle and Tacoma with friends. He even went to Alaska.
This guide was so helpful that he even carried both of our daughters at some point of the day trip
Next we headed down the mountain to get some fresh strawberries that they farm at higher altitudes. Also, they have many cows higher up so they make their own cheeses, I tried some - very tasty. We did get strawberries and I have to say that the ones from our own backyard are even better.
We arrived at the park where the animals and waterfalls were and it was pouring rain... we all got soaked even with rain coats on. We met some friendly toucans first and then moved on to other animals. Sydney and Miranda loved seeing the monkeys!
The butterfly exhibit was fun, there were lots of blue morphos. Will add one of these photos later, forgot to add it this time.
The waterfalls reminded me of Cascade mountains waterfalls back home, but surrounded by amazing tropical fauna and it wasn't cold :)
We are pretty lucky the girls did well today, it was a long day! About 7am until 4:30 when we got back here. Whew.
Well, going to turn in now. The girls went to bed early thank goodness, they still really need to catch up on their sleep.
Buenos Noches,

Brewers, Gomez agree to $28.3M, 4-year deal
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Outfielder Carlos Gomez and the Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a $28.3 million, four-year contract.
The 27-year-old outfielder would have been eligible for free agency after this season. He had agreed to a $4.3 million, one-year deal in January, and the new contract includes salaries of $7 million in 2014, $8 million in 2015 and $9 million in 2016.
Gomez hit .260 with 19 homers and 37 stolen bases in 137 games in 2012. He was one of only five players in the major leagues with at least 15 homers and 30 stolen bases, joining teammate Ryan Braun, Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, B.J. Upton of the Tampa Bay Rays and Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies.
"We are happy that Carlos has decided to remain a Brewer for a number of years," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin in a statement released from the team. "He has always had the physical skills, and his recent performance has given us the confidence that he will take the next step in becoming one of the top center fielders in the game. His energy, speed and aggressive style of play is a perfect fit for Ron Roenicke's style of managing."

Polymer cages
Polyamide 66For the majority of injection moulded cages, polyamide 66 (PA66) is used. This material, with or without glass reinforcement, is characterized by a favourable combination of strength and elasticity. The mechanical properties like strength and elasticity of polymer materials are temperature dependent and subject to ageing. The most important factors that play a role in the ageing process are temperature, time and the medium (lubricant) to which the polymer is exposed. Diagram 1 shows the relationship between these factors for glass fibre reinforced PA66. It shows that cage life decreases with increasing temperature and the aggressiveness of the lubricant.
Therefore, whether polyamide cages are suitable for a specific application depends on the operating conditions and life requirements. The classification of lubricants into "aggressive" and "mild" is reflected by the "permissible operating temperature" for cages made of glass fibre reinforced PA66 with various lubricants table 1. The permissible operating temperature in table 1 is defined as the temperature that provides a cage ageing life of at least 10 000 operating hours.
Some media are even more "aggressive" than those provided in table 1. A typical example is ammonia, used as a refrigerant in compressors. In those cases, cages made of glass fibre reinforced PA66 should not be used at operating temperatures above 70 °C (160 °F).
Polyamide also has a low temperature limit because it loses its elasticity, which can cause cage failures under extremely cold conditions. As a result, cages made of glass fibre reinforced PA66 should not be used in applications where the continuous operating temperature is below –40 °C (–40 °F).
In applications where a high degree of toughness is a critical operational parameter, such as in railway axleboxes, a super-tough modified PA66 can be used. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.


text: sat. i went out duck hunting on the mississippi river when i left it was a crisp 14 degrees i hunted about 3 hrs. and decided it was time to call it a season as ice was forming. i loaded my boat with a camp stove and other stuff and started to pick up decoys. another friend showed up and we made a plan he would pick up the decoys on the north i would get the ones south. the water was only knee deep so i pulled my boat over there and was pulling my boat along and putting in decoys the wind picked up and pushed the boat in to me knocking me down. my waders filled up my coat became saturated with water the boat was trying to run over me but i was afraid it would pin me to the bottom. i grabbed hold of the top rail of the boat and tried to pull my self out from under it but all i did was get pulled further under . i then pulled my self to the back of the boat where i could get my legs out from under and crawl in the back.when i got to the back my coat was so heavy and my wader so full i could not stand up i have a tilt switch on my motor cover i was going to hold on to my lower unit and use it to pull me up but my hands were so cold use them. i then called my friend to help it seemed to take for ever to get to me but i'm sure it wasn't. it was a long ride home in the boat. i learned a lot that day 1 i can't do the same things at 67 as i could do at 47. i was ready to pick the decoys up by my self and had i been alone i think i would have died

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 178, Sept 24, 1999
ARSC T3E PGHPF License UpgradeARSC is pleased to announce that the PGHPF license on yukon is now upgraded to permit jobs to use 256 processors. Documentation for pghpf 2.4 is available from ARSC's online document server at the address:
http://www.arsc.edu:40/docs/PGHPF/index.htmlTo use pghpf on yukon, and read the man pages, remember to load the pghpf module:
yukon$ module load pghpf
PGI Presentation At ARSCThis morning, Doug Miles of PGI gave an overview of how HPF programs should be developed and what a user might need to consider when writing or seeking to optimize a HPF program. The scaling and portability of HPF was also shown in that HPF is installed and in use on systems ranging from workstation clusters to the ASCI systems.
Doug stressed several times that programs still need to be parallel and that the parallelism requires careful expression if the compiler is to generate good, i.e., high performance, code. He showed various user examples one of which quoted an application which achieved 200 Mflops per processor on 128 processors of a T3E.
Here's the content of a few slides extracted from the talk. Copies of the overheads can be obtained from Guy Robinson on request. Important PGHPF Command Line Options
-O2 Common communication elimination, overlap optimizations -Mautopar Auto-parallelize DO loops operating on distributed data -Moverlap Control size of overlap (ghost) regions on distributed arrays -Mhpf2 Compile assuming HPF 2.0 semantics -Mf90 Compile for serial F90 execution -Mfreeform Assume Fortran 90 freeform source -Minfo Emit compile-time optimization/parallelization messages -Msmp Use native shared-memory one-sided communications -Mprof Enable function or line-level profiling -Mstats Print comms/cpu/memory statistics at completion of run -Mkeepftn Keep intermediate Fortran output file after HPF compilation -W0,<option> Pass <option> to underlying Fortran compilerPGHPF Tuning -- Key Elements
- Always compile with -Minfo and pay close attention to the messages that are emitted
- Learn to use the PGPROF profiler - it will quickly point you in the right direction
- Don't be afraid to look at the intermediate source code generated by PGHPF - its not that ugly!
- Have reasonable expectations - PGHPF is consistent and good at bookkeeping but is not always smart, I.e. equivalent code sequences don't always perform equally well
- Enables Parallelization of a loop that would otherwise be scalarized - basically anytime it can eliminate pghpf_get_scalar calls
- Amount of data per node is very small - I.e. in general -Msmp-compiled codes will scale better than those not compiled -Msmp
- Allows overlap of communication and computation by eliminating synch points
- Always try it and see - helps a lot in some cases but can sometimes cause slowdowns
- Takes several thousand cycles just to get in/out of a PGHPF communication runtime library routine
- Beware any time you see a PGHPF runtime library call in a loop (even if its not innermost)
- Despite the overhead, aggregate communication runtime routines are generally more efficient than inline communications (-Msmp) if there's enough data
- INHERIT or Transcriptive distributions- PGHPF will generate code that is general case, I.e. which works on cyclic(k)-distributed data; very inefficient.
- CYCLIC(K) and CYCLIC distributions
- PROCESSORS directive- Generally no reason to use it, PGHPF good at picking optimal mappings; using PROCESSORS often restricts how many CPUs can be used by the generated executable
- DYNAMIC, REDISTRIBUTE, REALIGN- PGHPF will generate code that is general case, I.e. which works on cyclic(k)-distributed data; very inefficient.
- BLOCK or GEN_BLOCK distributions- Distribute in as few dimensions as possible
- INDEPENDENT rather than -Mautopar DO loops- INDEPENDENT loops generally use much less memory; -Mautopar DOs converted to equivalent FORALLs.
- HPF_LIBRARY routines- Communication intensive parallel operations are generally more efficient if an equivalent HPF_LIBRARY routine exists
- INTERFACE blocks- Allows usage of -Mhpf2 switch and generally provides PGHPF with info that enables optimizations
- Replicate lower-dimension data structures that are largely read-only
- PGHPF automatically determines NEW variables on INDEPENDENT loops- Very convenient, but leads to non-conforming HPF codes
- RANDOM_NUMBER is well-implemented- Executes in parallel, scales well, and has very good statistical properties
- MATMUL and TRANSPOSE- Not optimized; often more efficient to do these operations using inline code rather than calling the intrinsics
- Compile/link with -Mprof=func, execute the program as usual, invoke pgprof on the resulting pgprof.out file
- Look for routines that take the most time; if necessary recompile/relink the most expensive functions with -Mprof=lines and re-execute (NOTE: -Mprof=lines can be very intrusive)
- Study line profiles for individual calls or statements that are inefficient
Final Program for CUG T3E meetingThe final program for the CUG T3E meeting is now available:
Guy Returns to Denali: Report on 50th Arctic Science MeetingAs posted in the last newsletter, the 50th AAAS Arctic Science meeting was held in Denali over the weekend and first few days of this week. A great deal of Arctic science was discussed including climate change, social factors, future funding, economics, wildlife populations etc.
As this was the 50th meeting, each evening there were a number of lectures which looked at how research had changed. Remote measurement, computers and helicopters were cited as being important developments in promoting successful research in the Arctic. At the first meeting, many of the papers presented were purely experimental or about data gathering, today about 75% used computers, either to gather or visualize results or as part of the scientific work itself.
For those of us who spend most of our time inside working with numbers or virtual views of Alaska it is always good to be reminded of the lengths some users have to go to to get data. Long stressful mountain climbs, spending months on floating ice or visiting bear dens to measure the temperature of hibernating bears were described in great detail and often with humor as to some of the adventures had along the way.
Many researchers felt Arctic research was healthy, indeed was growing rapidly, but care was needed not to over-publish results. While all the remote data gathering described above provides much information, longer- term change is harder to see and requires careful interpretation. Many papers presented results looking at the last century of change with both results from the modern era of data gathering and some of the first scientific trips to Alaska. One session discussed how to go back further and extract good scientific data from the records of previous visitors and the native residents.
More in the future as the results of this meeting become available.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ The "ls -lc" command shows modification time and sorts by {{ modification time. The "ls -lu" command also shows modification {{ time but sorts by access time. {{ {{ How can I show file access time? Under IRIX (and many other Unixes), but NOT under UNICOS, you can use the "stat" command to dump formatted inode information: onyx5$ stat myfile myfile inode 14682780; dev 1048585; links 1; size 2662 regular; mode is rw-------; uid 1235 (baring); gid 4 (mail) projid 0 st_fstype: nfs3 change time - Fri Sep 10 02:53:05 1999 <936960785> access time - Mon Jul 26 08:57:57 1999 <933008277> modify time - Mon Jul 26 08:57:57 1999 <933008277> Here's a moderately satisfying solution for UNICOS users: Use perl's "-A" operator which returns, not access time, but time since last access, in days. Here's a command to print the age of the file, "myfile". perl -e 'printf "%f", -A "myfile"' Korn shell users can add the following function to their .profile file and execute it by typing, for instance, "age myfile". function age { perl -e "printf \"$1: age in days: %f\n\", -A \"$1\"" } Here's an expert version (thanks, Dale): function age { perl -e "printf <<EOS \"$1\" -%s- contents last accessed %f days ago. contents last modified %f days ago. inode last modified %f days ago. EOS ,'-' x length \"$1\" ,-A \"$1\" ,-M \"$1\" ,-C \"$1\" " } (I don't know how a C-Shell user would implement these functions, but if you send me a solution, I'll print it.) Q: I have about 150 files in a directory and need to "rm" about 125 of them. No combination of wild-card characters will select the "to delete" files without including some of the "to retain" files. How would you approach this task?

Art of Science exhibit opens, May 10
Posted May 3, 2006; 11:18 p.m.
The opening of the second annual "Art of Science" exhibition is
scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 10, with a reception in the
Friend Center atrium.
The juried show will feature prints, videos, paintings and sculptures -- 50 works in all -- produced in the course of scientific or technical research from a dozen departments at Princeton.
"Much of the work that we find so compelling may be likened to 'found art,'" said Adam Finkelstein, associate professor of computer science and one of the organizers of the exhibition. "Researchers create images or other artifacts in the pursuit of math, science and engineering, and often they turn out to be quite beautiful when viewed as works of art. The question of whether this is serendipity, or perhaps the expression of some deeper connections between aesthetics, order, nature and complexity remains to be answered by the viewer."
The 50 exhibited works were selected from more than 150 submissions. The entries are being reviewed by a panel of judges, and three winners will be announced at the opening. The art works will be on view for several months in the Friend Center.

Where the land ends LIFE begins
Southeast Cape Cod Inshore Wade Saltwater Fly/Spin Fishing Report's and Ramblings:
I hope you find my reports and articles entertainingly informative and mildly educational
Scheduled Days off- Vacation, during these slowwwww tides.
Lots of mung and the fishing has been slow for us. Big fish around if you know where to look. A few smaller fish are also available.
Good Luck,

I'm looking for housing next summer here on the Cape.

Bill only had 2 hours to sight fish and he made the best of his time. With-in 20 seconds of me saying, we could see them at anytime in this spot. I was calling out fish to him. Then another and another. I stationed Bill on my ladder to fish from, to give him a visual advantage. He was seeing them pretty good. The last cast was made before he had to leave and a nice 15 lb. bass ate it. But on the run the hook pulled lose. During the time Bill was sight fishing on his own, I was in the shallows teaching Roland the art of fly fishing. During this time we had 2 schools of about 20 fish each (all around 10 lb. bass) pass between Bill and ourselves. It was exciting to watch, as they were continually tailing, rolling and slurping on the available bait as they swam by us in 2 feet of water, very slowly.
Roland picked up false casting and then shooting it after the mornings lesson. We ventured out onto the flats to sight fish. No blind casting here. If we could not see them, they simply were not there and no cast's were made. Glad there were a good number of big fish around traveling shallow as we never waited long for another shot. If we were not seeing them here, we moved 200 feet and found a whole new batch of fresh fish to cast too. Once they realized we were there and moved out, we walked and found some more. Roland had some good shots at'm and also a good number of cast's at some big'ns. We came up empty for the day, but had a fun time trying!
One thing that is blatantly obvious presently, is that there is FINALLY a good amount of bait present. This is one thing some of us have been noticing a lack of for the last month! Bait-silversides and sand lances. . Sandlances are schooled or hiding in the soft sand. Silver sides are all schooled up They have been shallow in good numbers, in several different locations. The fish are keying in on both bait's. Especially where there is moving water, bringing them their next meal. (Compressed water flow)
7/31 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
We waded into about 1 foot of water in the AM. I asked Howard to stack his line in his basket
and get ready. We could see them at anytime. No sooner had I finished that sentenced did I say
"3 Fish, 1 O'clock, 50 feet, going left." Howard looked at me with a questionable look on his
face. He said, ok, so that's how you'll call out the fish for me? I said no, there ARE fish
there. Cast! He made a fumbling attempt to get a quick cast off and almost hooked me in the
process. Wouldn't you know it if one of those fish ate it. The hook was set and then it pulled
lose on the run. We both laughed. I put Howard on my ladder so he could sight fish on his own.
Dan wanted to learn to fly fish today so after about an hour of instruction he was throwing it
50-60 feet. Not fast, but it was going out. I kept an eye on Howard the whole time and he was
seeing fish and getting shots at fair number. He could not believe the size and quantity he
was seeing. I could tell he was having fun because his grin was ear to ear!
After the AM push of big bass we decided to try a different spot that rarely gets any fishing
pressure. I explained that these would be some fresher fish and should eat a lil better.
And "that" they did. These were all fish in the 10-15lb. and a couple 20 lb'ers. Both Howard
and Dan broke off a fish each and Howard dropped a couple more. We never waited very long for
singles and doubles to swim within 20-40 feet of us. Both of my guest's had never sight fished
before and this was Dan's first time fly fishing. No fish landed today, but it sure was fun
trying. We all agreed that today was a success, in many way's.
Looks like I have today off. Hmmmm, maybe I'll go fishing? .
7/29 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Tom and I had a fun, exciting day out. Started out slow. We worked the same, first 2 spots as yesterday, were we had hit fish. But today after a short time of nothing, we got out of there. They just weren't there today. (Or at least in any numbers)
Noticed about 1,000 seals on the dry sand. The last time I saw that many in one spot was this Spring when they first moved in. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Then the wind died, sun came out and we went sight fishing. Saw lots of big fish in very shallow water through out the rest of the day. Talk about exciting!!. A lot were being very fussy eaters. But did manage to get some schoolies and a couple keepers. The biggest was 35 inch's. No pictures of the biggest one because , well, Tom sort of dropped it as I was getting ready to photograph it. He dove for it with both arms wrapping around it and it feel through. Then I went for the tail and had it for a second until I lost it. We both laughed as we watched it swim away slowly.
(See Photo's)
Just a couple photo's of some of today's fish. Congrats!!

Jeff and son Theo (10 years old) had a blast. They hit fish in 3 out of 4 spots! A couple keepers
and the rest schoolies

Quality time's and memories that will last a lifetime for both father and son.
7/26 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through the alley. (Anonymous)
Joe and Ray had never fished these often written about and famous flats. But were ready to give them their best shot. As we approached our first destination I noticed the bottom was moving? Hmmmm. The light was still a little flat in the A.M. and a few low hanging clouds caused the visibility to be less than perfect. Fortunately due to the size of the bass, I could see that it was a school of about 50 or more good ones. They laid their flies out across the flat and worked them back in with a fever. Joe just had a bump, but missed him. Ray just had a hit and missed it. Joe re-cast's and is hooked up to a schoolie. Ray gets another hit and misses it.
The sun finally came out strong and my guests were witness to why these flats are legendary. They simply were besides themselves on the size and number of bass we were seeing.
In another location I noticed a better number of fish around than yesterday. We got a few shots at them, but no takers. Saw a couple of those 20 lb., 4 foot logs swimming by.
Time for lunch, so I suggested we eat at another location where we would very possibly see fish swimming by at our feet. No sooner had we sat down on a sand bar for lunch did a parade of bass pass us by. This parade kept up for a steady 20 minutes while we all kept pointing, looking and laughing as they passed by our feet at our amusement. Some were as close as 10 feet. It was like looking into an aquarium. A fair number of these fish were keepers.
After lunch Ray was getting very cold due to a "falling in the water" mishap, so we decided to call it an early day. Its no fun to do anything if you are uncomfortable.
As we walked back across these legendary flats that were flooding, we stopped about 6 times to look around in amazement at the ever changing colors of sand, water and sky . Big sky country is what Ray and Joe called it. Ray suggested we should build a Holiday Inn at this spot. Look at all this prime real-estate not being used. I almost smacked him! (he-he)
7/25 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
As Jim and I walked to the first spot we both wondered what it might be holding. At first look it resembled a vacant lot. We moved 100 feet and looked again. After a couple of cast's to some fishy water, we rang the door bell but no one was home. Moved again another 100 feet and found the party! 75 or so keeper bass and a few smaller welcomed us in. Only the smaller bass would eat. Had the usual follows, second glances and refusals form the biggest. I guess they didn't like my cologne. Once our welcome was worn out we made for greener pastures.
Hit another schoolie in the new spot and saw a few bigger hanging around.
3rd flat we saw one here and one there, nothing to write home about. Nothing ate.
4th location produced a couple of fish and about 4 short strikes. Must be those rubber hooks Im using?
Fishing was so-so with 6 schoolies coming to hand. Had shots at a good number of bigger bass. Tomorrow I'll be trying some different area's. Hoping to put my guest's into the hungriest, biggest and most fish, as always.
Noticed for the first time this year an abundance of "Monkey Fur" in a fast moving channel. Heard it was at Nauset, then South Beach. I guess with these N.E. winds it blew down south and it came around the corner on the incoming. Can't wait for the S.W. wind again, so it can all blow right back where it came from! Some neighbors I have. Sending their trash down my way! (he-he)
Strong N.E. winds yesterday with continued N.E. until tomorrow. We love it when it blows N.E. in July and August, as it blows the warmer water out and is replaced with cooler.
See you all later - on this never ending fishing trip,

I got another award.
Thanks to Crack You Whip for giving me this.
Like my last award, I don't know exactly what the award means or the origin of it. But I am honored by the kind words spoken of my blog more than anything.
So apparently this award comes with some rules. And they are as follows:
1) Link back to the person who gave you the award. I've already done it twice, but three times is a charm. Crack You Whip is hilarious. What's more is that she incorporates (hilarious) illustrations... something you will probably never see me attempt.
And she also updates way more often than me. Sorry, guys. I understand if you jump ship and join up with the S.S. Artistic Talent.
2) Pick 5 deserving people and notify them on their blogs.
There are a ton of deserving blogs out there. But here are some of my favorites.
1) It's My Mind -- This dude reminds me of me too much. He thinks quite similarly to how I think, and his humor is always on point.
2) The Suniverse -- She has made me literally laugh out loud more than any other blogger I have encountered thus far. In short, she is great.
3) Yours in So Many Words -- A writer with a beautiful voice and beautiful messages. After every post, I stop and say, "Huh," and think for a while. Often, I am inspired to write after reading her posts.
4) Change The Topic -- This blogging family is generous in what they give to their readers and what they give to fellow bloggers. Their blog is great, and the pictures they include are top-notch. Especially of Birdman.
5) Crazy With A Side of Awesome Sauce -- One of the most giving bloggers I have come across. You might feel as if you are reading her diary, then all of the sudden feel as if you are reading your own diary. Then you will realize that you are not alone.
3) Post the award on your blog and spread the love. Yep. That's what I just did. Click on all of the links that I posted. They are all insanely deserving of your time.
So there you have it. Congrats to me, and congrats to the other bloggers that I have paid it forward to.
Now go forth and be enchanted.
-Youngman Brown

Earth has seen some highly unusual weather patterns over the past three years, and three new studies published this year point to Arctic sea loss as a potential important driver of some of these strange weather patterns. The record loss of sea ice the Arctic in recent years may be increasing winter cold surges and snowfall in Europe and North America, says a study by a research team led by Georgia Institute of Technology scientists Jiping Liu and Judith Curry. The paper, titled "Impact of declining Arctic sea ice on winter snowfall", was published on Feb. 27, 2012 in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Our study demonstrates that the decrease in Arctic sea ice area is linked to changes in the winter Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation, said Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, in a press release. "The circulation changes result in more frequent episodes of atmospheric blocking patterns, which lead to increased cold surges and snow over large parts of the northern continents."
Figure 1. Arctic sea ice in September 2007 reached its lowest extent on record, approximately 40% lower than when satellite records began in 1979. Sea ice loss in 2011 was virtually tied with the ice loss in 2007, despite weather conditions that were not as unusual in the Arctic. Image credit: University of Illinois Cryosphere Today.
Figure 2. The extent of Arctic sea ice loss in the summer July - August - September period in 2007 was about 1.4 million square miles (3.6 million square kilometers) greater than in 1980, according to the University of Illinois Cryosphere Today. For comparison, the lost ice coverage (orange colors) was equal to an area about 44% of the size of the contiguous U.S., or 71% of the non-Russian portion of Europe.
Summertime Arctic sea ice loss: 40% since 1980
The Arctic has seen a stunning amount of sea ice loss in recent years, due to melting and unfavorable winds that have pushed large amounts of ice out of the region. Forty percent of the sea ice was missing in September 2007, compared to September of 1980. This is an area equivalent to about 44% of the contiguous U.S., or 71% of the non-Russian portion of Europe. Such a large area of open water is bound to cause significant impacts on weather patterns, due to the huge amount of heat and moisture that escapes from the exposed ocean into the atmosphere over a multi-month period following the summer melt. The Georgia Tech study found that Arctic sea ice loss had caused a 20 - 60% weakening of the west-to-east belt of winds circling the pole in recent years, producing broader meanders in the jet stream that allowed it to get "stuck" in place 20 - 60% more often. When the jet stream gets stuck in place for a long period of time, we say a "blocking pattern" has set up. Since the jet stream marks the boundary between cold, Arctic air to the north, and warmer subtropical air to the south, areas on both sides of the jet are subjected to extended periods of unusually warm or cold weather during a blocking episode. Such a blocking pattern began on January 26, 2012 and lasted until February 11, bringing and exceptionally cold and snowy conditions to much of Europe, which lay on the cold side of an elongated loop of the jet stream that got stuck in place. Conversely, most of North America and northern Siberia saw unusually warm temperatures during this period, since they were on the warm side of the jet stream. Lead author Jiping Liu, a senior research scientist in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, added, "We think the recent snowy winters could be caused by the retreating Arctic ice altering atmospheric circulation patterns by weakening westerly winds, increasing the amplitude of the jet stream and increasing the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. These pattern changes enhance blocking patterns that favor more frequent movement of cold air masses to middle and lower latitudes, leading to increased heavy snowfall in Europe and the Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States." The paper concludes: "if Arctic sea ice continues as anticipated by climate modeling results, we speculate that episodes of the aforementioned circulation change will become more frequent, along with more persistent snowstorms over northern continents during winter."

Two other studies link Arctic sea ice loss to atmospheric circulation changes
"The question is not whether sea ice loss is affecting the large-scale atmospheric circulation...it's how can it not?" That was the take-home message from Dr. Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University, in her talk "Evidence Linking Arctic Amplification to Extreme Weather in Mid-latitudes, presented at December's American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. Dr. Francis presented new research that has just been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, which shows that Arctic sea ice loss may significantly affect the upper-level atmospheric circulation, slowing its winds and increasing its tendency to make contorted high-amplitude loops. High-amplitude loops in the upper level wind pattern (and associated jet stream) increases the probability of persistent weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere, potentially leading to extreme weather due to longer-duration cold spells, snow events, heat waves, flooding events, and drought conditions. Dr. Francis describes her work in a March 5, 2012 post on the Yale environment360 web site.
"Even if the current weather situation may seem to speak against it, the probability of cold winters with much snow in Central Europe rises when the Arctic is covered by less sea ice in summer." That was the opening sentence of a January 26, 2012 press release by a group of European scientists, led by Ralf Jaiser of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany. The words proved prescient, because that day marked the beginning of a brutal two-week cold air outbreak over Central and Eastern Europe that killed 823 people and did over $660 million in damage, according to preliminary estimates by insurance broker Aon Benfield. Dr. Jaiser's team, using modeling studies, showed that Arctic sea ice loss weakens upper-level winds over the Arctic in winter, allowing an increased chance of cold air surges over Europe.

Why was the winter of 2011 - 2012 so warm in the U.S.?
The winter of 2011 - 2012 in North America was unusually warm--the fourth warmest on record. The cold air spilling out of the Arctic during the winter was confined to Europe, unlike that previous two winters, which were unusually cold and snowy in the Eastern U.S. Obviously, loss of Arctic sea ice is not having the same impact each winter; such factors as El Niño/La Niña, the phase of the 11-year sunspot cycle, and the amount of snow cover in Siberia also have strong influences on the winter weather pattern that sets up. Cold air is less likely to spill out of the Arctic during a solar maximum, as we are now headed towards, so this factor may tend to reduce the odds of getting big cold blasts in the U.S. during the coming two winters. However, cold air may be more likely to spill out of the Arctic in winter due to the decades-long pattern of warming and cooling of Atlantic Ocean waters known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). A 2012 study by NASA scientists found that the warm phase of the AMO (like we have been in since 1995) causes more instances of atmospheric blocking, where the jet stream gets "stuck" in place, leading to long periods of extreme weather. It will be interesting to see how all these factors play out in the coming years. If these three newly-published studies are correct, the U.S. should see more winters like 2010 - 2011 and 2009 - 2010 in coming decades, as Arctic sea ice continues to melt and affect global atmospheric circulation patterns more strongly.

Textbooks and related materials adopted by the State of Mississippi for use in public schools are sent to us once a year. These materials are designated "library samples" in correspondence with the state education contacts. Publishers that participate in the textbook adoption program are required to supply enough copies of their textbooks so that selected sites across the state can each receive a full set of the adopted materials. University Libraries receives two sets, one for the Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) in Cook Library and one for the Curriculum Lab (CurrLab) in Gulf Coast Library.
Approximately every seven years, new textbooks are considered for adoption for academic and vocational subjects. See the adoption schedule in the resource binder.
NOTE: Individually packaged puppets held by the CMC are housed behind the Cook Circulation Desk, Item Location c1cd (as of August 5, 2014).
NOTE: MSAT materials may be pre-publication works and may be marked with labeling like "Examination Copy," "Not for Classroom Use," "Advance Reader," and/or "Not for Resale." MSAT materials are not the same as an advanced reader copies (ARCs) of a novel, which are not cataloged for circulating collections. Catalog all MSAT materials, including those with this labeling. (lkg 09/30/2016, discussion with Jen Culley and Xiaojie Duan)
Mississippi state approved textbook materials circulate.
Primary arrangement is first by format and subject, then by grade.
Arrange, organize and classify MSAT materials before cataloging anything. Assign a full call number, including publisher cutter and item-specific designator, to each item using the lists in the Resource Binder. If any new entries need to be made in the resource lists as a result of arrangement, organization and classification, provide this information to the supervisor so documentation in the resource binders and web pages can be updated.
Provide information to the supervisor on which classification ranges are to be cataloged and approximate size of shelf space needed, so this can be communicated to Allisa Beck at Gulf Coast Library.
The item being cataloged is the student textbook. The teacher's edition, workbooks, readers, etc., are supplementary materials. All materials from the same publisher, including student and teacher editions and accompanying manuals, workbooks, etc., intended for a particular grade will be cataloged on a single record. Examples:
As a rule, do not combine multiple grades of materials onto one bib record, such as Grades K-6 of a publisher's textbooks all with the same or similar title. This is past practice and obsolete. That approach to cataloging was faster, but it made it much harder for library patrons to identify materials of interest because so many items were attached to the records.
BUT, when a textbook is intended for use across multiple grades, for example Grades 9-12, the textbook is cataloged on one record and the Grade 9-12 designation is in the Grade Format in the call number. See more at the end of this document.
RARELY, a set of materials that spans age or grade is best cataloged as a set instead of each grade being cataloged on a separate record. See here and consult with the supervisor before making with this decision.
Edit Cataloging (Books) is the guiding document for the cataloging of all materials for University Libraries. Use it and the material-specific or collection-specific documentation (such as this procedure) in tandem.
For RDA-specific instructions (fixed fields, 3xx fields, spelling out words abbreviated in AACR2, relator terms, etc.), see RDA training materials, Edit Cataloging (Books) and RDA Toolkit resources.
REPEAT: What is being cataloged? The student edition of the title is what is being cataloged. All other material on the record is supplementary.
Existing Record or Original Cataloging?
MARC Field Information
Most MSAT bib records will have multiple items attached (student textbook, teacher textbook, workbook, etc.). Each item has item-specific information that is part of its full call number but is not recorded in the bib record call number field.
In the 050 call number field in the bib record, enter the information that applies to ALL items attached (the base call number), but not what applies to only a SINGLE item or SOME items. In the example below, the 050 call number information stops with the grade. See that this is the information common to all items attached. The item-specific information goes into the Volume field of the Item Record. The entire call number goes on the spine label with the collection abbreviation CMC (Cook Library's Curriculum Materials Center) or CurrLab (Gulf Coast Curriculum Laboratory) at the top.
If the bib record has only one item attached the entire call number, including item-specific information, is recorded in the bib record 050 call number field, and no item-specific information is put into the Volume field of the Item Record.
A textbook company might publish more than one textbook on the same subject in a given year (not just Grade 1 and Grade 2 of the same textbook, but two works with different titles). The class number would be the same. The Publisher cutter would be the same. The year would be the same. Because we require a unique base call number, distinguish the second one cataloged from the first one by adding a work mark a work mark to the publisher Cutter. Add "b" to the 2nd title cataloged. Add "c" to the 3rd one cataloged.
Add the work mark to each call number for the title (or the group of records for that title) so that all volumes will shelve together. Do this even if one or more call numbers has a variable that would make it otherwise unique, such as publication/copyright year. Example with two titles from the same publisher with the same pub years:
Vocabu-Lit (Books F-H, which are Grades 6-8)
Words to go! : words to know (Books F-H, also G6-8)
Vocabu-Lit was cataloged first; volumes vary in pub year, and call numbers carry the year of publication (Book F, 2006 ; Books G-H, 2002).
Words to go! was cataloged later; volumes all carry pub year 2002, which conflicts with Vocabu-Lit Books G-H/Grades 7-8. Work mark "b" goes after publisher Cutter for all volumes.
Verify access points: title, author, ISBN, call number, and a sampling of barcodes.
See [this web page].
Some works span a range of ages or grades and are better treated as a set on one bib record rather than as separate works on individual records. Some special education materials fall into this category. Consult with the librarian or supervisor.
If the work spans several levels, the levels should be indicated in the base call number given in the 050 field. If all volumes in a set cover multiple grades, the grade range should also be reflected in the call numbers on the spine and in the item record. However, if the set contains individual volumes that correspond to a specific grade level, the call number in the item record and on the spine label for those volumes needs to reflect the single grade level.

Web Stories
West and Jakes to discuss issues facing churches, Oct. 26
Posted October 18, 2005; 02:29 p.m.
Renowned evangelist and author Bishop T.D. Jakes and Princeton professor Cornel West will discuss "Preachers, Profits and the Prophetic: The New Face of American Evangelicalism" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, in the Princeton University Chapel.
The event is part of the "Conversations" lecture series, in which leading public intellectuals engage a faculty member from the University's Program in African-American Studies to delve deeply into political, artistic and social issues facing America.
"This dialogue is an opportunity for many of us to hear and to process how these two towering figures understand their Christian witness in these trying times," said religion professor Eddie Glaude, acting director of the Program in African-American Studies. "It offers a chance for many of us, not only to endure the moment, but to respond to it with vigor."
Jakes is the pastor of The Potter's House, a multiracial nondenominational church with more than 30,000 members in Dallas. Named by Time magazine as one of America's "25 Most Influential Evangelicals," Jakes has been heralded as a ministerial visionary and philanthropist.
West is the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion and a prolific author. His best-selling books, "Race Matters" and "Democracy Matters," have brought into the national spotlight his declared mission of promoting racial equity and recognition of democracy as a spiritual force.
"We want a critical and respectful dialogue about pressing issues facing Christian churches in our time," West said. "The conversation should resonate across the student body, with church folk around the area and across the state itself."
The discussion is free and open to the public. Princeton University students should arrive by 6:45 p.m. and show their University ID to take advantage of student priority seating. Students also should enter through the student entrance at the side of the chapel.

|Mischa Barton
Let's congratulate Mischa Barton, she has finally landed a job! Mischa plays a lollipop-sucking hooker in Law and Order, her first gig after the sudden cancellation of her show The Beautiful Life just after two episodes due to poor ratings. The OC's wild child walked the streets of New York yesterday in prostitute outfit (which resembles her own wardrobe choices, by the way) on the set of the said drama series.
Even though she stated in some interview that "That whole world of network TV probably isn't, for me, a good idea right now. I need to start reading for more serious roles." But guess she really need not be choosy these days with the roles given to her because there aren't many of them. Seems like producers can't take her seriously and will only book her for hooker roles 'cause of her numerous nip slips!

By Mark Bradley,The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (MCT)
ON TV TODAY: CBS, 3 p.m.
ATLANTA — Mark Richt apprenticed at Florida State when the Seminoles played for five national championships in eight seasons, and he came to Athens expecting more of the same. "That was the plan coming in," he said Friday, "but it hasn't happened yet."
It could well happen Saturday. If Richt's team wins the SEC championship game, the plan will have come to fruition. Twelve years Georgia's coach, Richt has never been so close to playing for the BCS title. Twelve years Georgia's coach, the path is finally clear.
A coach can never know when, or if, his moment will arrive. Richt had great early success — three division titles and two SEC championships in his first five years — and then he had rather less. We began to wonder if a fine career could ever bring the ultimate validation. Well, it's there to be seized under the off-white roof of the Georgia Dome, there to be seized in the kind of game Richt has waited all his life to coach.
Beat Alabama and Georgia will play Notre Dame for the national championship. "I don't want to minimize the importance of the SEC (title)," said Richt, speaking at a press briefing, "but that (the BCS) does add a lot more juice." A program that went years without defeating an opponent of true consequence now gets its shot at the opponent of greatest consequence. Alabama is the gold standard of college football, and Bama is favored by a touchdown. But the feeling of those close to the Tide is that this is Nick Saban's least imposing team of the past four — two of which have won national championships — and that Georgia is at least a match in talent.
And there's also this: A mighty wind has stationed itself at Georgia's back. On Oct. 6, the Bulldogs lost at South Carolina, 35-7, and no national-champion-to-be has ever lost by 28 points. But every week since has brought nothing but glad tidings to Georgia hearts. Consider:
— Oct. 13: The Bulldogs don't play but are buoyed by South Carolina's loss at LSU.
— Oct. 20: The Bulldogs barely beat Kentucky, but the day's biggest news is that South Carolina has lost again, this time at Florida. Georgia now has the opening it needs to win the Eastern Division.
— Oct. 27: The Bulldogs beat hated Gators to move to the top of the SEC East.
— Nov. 3: The Bulldogs beat Ole Miss and then see Alabama, which some were suggesting was good enough to handle an NFL team, barely escape at LSU.
— Nov. 10: The Bulldogs beat Auburn to clinch the East in game that begins an hour after Texas A&M upsets Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
— Nov. 17: The Bulldogs beat Georgia Southern, and much later they watch as Kansas State, ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings, and Oregon, ranked No. 2, both lose. Georgia ascends to No. 3 the next day, rendering the SEC championship against No. 2 Alabama a BCS play-in.
— Nov. 24: The Bulldogs pound Georgia Tech like a kettledrum.
Through seven giddy weeks, Georgia has grown from a puzzling aggregation into a powerful one. Said Richt: "We have a lot of momentum."
A month ago, the Bulldogs didn't figure to stand a chance against mighty Bama. Today they're seen by most neutral observers as a live underdog with a real chance, and even those picking the Tide are doing it largely because of the Tide's experience in games of such magnitude. But this is a younger Bama team, and true eminence could be a year away.
For Georgia, both gifted and seasoned, a grand opportunity is at hand — an opportunity denied this program since the Bulldogs faced Penn State in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1983. It was Herschel Walker's last night as an amateur, and for 30 years Bulldog Nation has waited, not entirely patiently, for another chance at another national title.
For those long-suffering fans, for a coach who once seemed to have run out of ideas, for a team that was routed in its first real test of 2012 … for everyone involved with Georgia football, the moment has arrived. One massive game against one formidable opponent, one Dawg day of deliverance. Georgia 27, Alabama 20.

Well actually it is not a SW/ST crossover like the previous thread I had instilled----->Star Wars-Star Trek Crossover
I have come up with 2 story lines that involve both universes but the stories have nothing to do with each other themselves.
If it were to be realized in a medium, it contain both stories at the same time, somewhat like a double novel. It would entale the role reversal of each universe.
Star Trek Universe.
- The "Federation" has been around for 25,000 years
-Hyperspace Technology, much more of the universe has been discovered and explored.
- The Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Jem' Hadar etc.
would have an a large sect of Dark Jedi.
- The Klingons have a unique sense of the force in which they are the ultimate force balancers. They can use both light and dark with out the dark fully consuming them but lean towards the dark moreso. Klingons would weild "LIGHT" Bat' leths.:D :cool: and also carry lightsabers that would resemble this.Klingon Lightsaber
-Picard, Spock, Sarek, Sisko etc. are on the Jedi Council
-Riker, Janeway etc. are Jedi Masters but with a Qui Gonn-esque destination about them.
-Kirk is the supreme General for the Federations defenses.
Earth looks like Couruscant from space.
-The Borg were eleminated ceturies ago because they were discovered in their earlier development stages and were easily dealt with.
The Ferengi take on the role of the Hutts....obviously
The Vulcans are the purest, most powerful, light side force users in the known universe. Basically "Yodas"
Star Wars Universe
-First Contact from Corelia to Coruscant aproxamtely 350 years ago.
-Warp Speed technology only and hybrids thereof developing and in research.
Han Solo-Captain of the USS Falcon. Flagship of the Republic of Planets.
Chewbacca- His 1st officer
Leia Organa- Lieutenant at tactical
Luke Skywalker, ensign at helm.
Admiral Benjamin Kenobi-keeping in contact back at Republic Headquatrers
Fighting the Nabooine Empire led by Supreme Comandant Palpitine and his comrade, leader of the Tatooascian Empire; Procounsel Anikin Terrek. ;)
If I think of more details to add to this idea, I will post them. Feel free to post your own ideas for this format.
Just on the curious note, does anyone know why there has not been a Star Trek/ Star Wars combo story published. Is it a matter of legal problems or just that noone has come up with a descent story. I mean, c'mon though, they did a ST/ X-Men crossover that was just horrible. THere was no real substance to it at all.:frus:
