I have a few complaints about the design of this website. Hopefully, someone high up in the chain of command will read this and take notice.
a) The bar at the bottom, [ Home | Articles | Account | People | Projects ], is not very exhaustive. For example, in order to create this new diary entry, I had to go into Account (?) and then click on the Diary link. Again, in order to look at my publicly accessable page, I must go into the Account section. This isn't very intuitive. Frequently accessed pages should have their own quick-link in that bar.
b) I think there should be more ranks besides the basic three, maybe something lower than Apprentice. I have seen many accounts where I didn't think the person had quite earned Apprenticehood, having no projects or diary entries. But, Observer status is ambiguous between "I haven't checked out this person" and "I don't think this person deserves Apprenticehood." There should be something to discern between those two cases. Also, I noticed an account created that is just an advertisement for a porn site. Maybe an "Illegitimate" rank could be used?
c) There seems to be no contact information for the people in charge of this website. I would have just emailed them about some potential changes, but I couldn't find their email addresses.
As always, just my two cents.

mjh345, do you train with BBs? I don't find the wind to be that much of a factor, unless it's a really strong wind, and a big throw. It's certainly not "a significant influence with ant breeze at all." I use a yellow blank and about an 1 1/2" pvc spacer. This approximates a throw about as high and far as a human throws a duck.
If it was a very windy day I would probably either hire bird boys, or run cross wind blinds instead.

Its my experience that the BB's bore into the wind quite well. However when they are thrown with the wind they really fly far For example a throw into a mild {5 mph} wind may only reduce the length of the throw by 10% or so; whereas throwing in the same direction as that same wind may increas the length of that throw by 50% or so
Wow! That's lots of BBs. How many dogs do you have/train?

One would think that the aftermarket production of BB suitable bumpers would be ripe with this announcement! I don't see the little canvas turds going over too well! Hey Avery Sporting Dog....hint hint!!!!
I really like my two BBs, but they sure do seem intent on going out of business!
The main thing I like about BB's is they are reliable, they show up every day and you dont have to buy em lunch
More good news.. just checked the BB sight to see if my recent order had shipped. It says they are out of launchers, and will not ship until Fall.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Oxford attorneys for the Tupelo Public School District on Friday asked a federal judge to sanction former teacher Calvin Ellis and his attorney, David Butts.
The filing claims Ellis and Butts made "legally and factually baseless complaint accusations" toward the district and its legal counsel, Kelly Stimpson and James A. Keith, basically saying Stimpson and Keith lied during Ellis' job termination hearing in early 2012.
"The allegations of unethical conduct and actions tantamount to a criminal charge of subornation of perjury," TPSD counsel David D. O'Donnell writes, "have no place in these pleadings" and violate rules of court.
Ellis, through Butts, sued TPSD, claiming five counts of wrongdoing surrounding his Oct. 28, 2011, firing.
The district denies the allegations.
Ellis asks for a jury trial, damages and attorney's fees in his federal lawsuit.
He was fired after a student's mother complained about a "prank" on her daughter's car during a "hair and makeup night" for show choir members supervised by Ellis and his wife.
Butts could not be reached for comment late Friday.
Later Friday, Butts filed a motion asking the court to permit trial testimony by two minors, who testified during Ellis' termination hearing.
The filing also argues that their allegations against TPSD counsel are not "legally and factually baseless."
O'Donnell asks the court for monetary sanctions and an order requiring a second amended complaint without the allegations against their TPSD attorneys.

Young woman to give lecture on life under Taliban regime, March 5
Posted March 1, 2002; 11:51 a.m.
A young woman who escaped from Afghanistan and the Taliban regime will speak about her experiences at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in 202 Jones Hall. "Latifa" will present an address titled "My Forbidden Face: Life Under the Taliban" and sign copies of her book by the same name.
The book is a firsthand account of life under the Taliban regime from a young woman's perspective. Latifa discusses how Afghan women and children were treated when the Taliban took control. "My Forbidden Face" was written in collaboration with Chekeba Hachemi, the founder of Afghanistan Libre, an organization that helps Afghans who live outside their homeland start to rebuild their country.
Latifa was born in 1980 to a middle-class Afghan family in Kabul. She enjoyed fashion and music and dreamed of becoming a journalist until Taliban soldiers seized power in 1996. She says she was a prisoner in her own home, forbidden to walk down the street alone and forced to wear a chadri, the state-mandated uniform that covered her entire body. Latifa and her parents escaped in May 2001 through a French-based Afghan resistance group and now live in Paris.
The event is sponsored by Princeton's Program in Near Eastern Studies .

Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
I found all four yesterday here in Vegas, and apparently they're coming out one full set at a time because that's all I saw this entire weekend. I should have picked up the Sith pack (great new sculpts) but just got Fett (with a great new Mandalorian sculpt, okay, maybe not new but first I've seen of it, and a good version of Boba Fett) and the Force Unleashed pack.
My wife was in LA all last week and hit the memorabilia store at Universal, she picked up the GG Boba Fett minibust for me (nice detail!) and the Dodson version of Wonder Woman from the "Women of the DC Universe" line of sculptures. She's a great wife.
Burbank K-Mart had the new vehicles. 2 AT-APs walkers, 2 Grievous fighters and 1 Obi Wan blue fighter. The only problem is these are priced at $28.99!! WTF??!! But the whole toy department has 20% off, so I ended up paying 23.19 + tax each for the 2 AT-APs. I left the other ones there if anyone is interested. One grievous fighter is at cash register #5 since I changed my mind because of the price and decided not to get it for now. Boxes weren't mint by the way.
I'll hook up someone close to the Burbank area with an AT-AP, especially if you can hook me up with a Kashyyk trooper (camouflage scout, the newest one). Haven't been able to find any of that wave and I need a driver for the AT-AP.
or... if you don't need the AT-AP and you just want to hook me up with the trooper, that is also welcome.
Picked up the Lt. Jundland/Deena Shan comic pack yesterday at Walmart. Still looking for Mouse/Basso and Commando/Super Battle Droid - if anyone sees them, please stash. Also saw the Grievous Starfighter and Blue Obi-Wan JSF, but passed on them.
The Evolutions Wave 2 case I ordered from NewForce shipped out today - good times ahead.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Target Redondo beach galleria mall: They had a Evo Qui-Gon Jedi pack, but I passed since I didn't want the other two figures. I stashed it, PM for the details.
Also I have an extra GI JOE Ace/Wild Weasel pack I need to get rid of. PM me if you wanna pick it up.
Found 2 Mc Rebel troopers at West Hollywood target. Anyone wanna trade for the new kashyykk trooper?

Partnering with your dentist to treat people better.
Dental caries (tooth decay) is an epidemic, and it is increasing in all age groups. We are proud to be doing something about it. We are partnering with the dental profession, dental educators, governing dental bodies, manufacturers and dental insurance providers to come together and take responsibility for managing and reversing this disease progression.
We believe that caries diagnosis, treatment plans, and products can and must be different in order to break the disease cycle. CAMBRA provides the evidence based framework, and the CariFree system is a progressive tool for creating positive change.
It can be done, it is being done, and together we are forging a new future. We invite you to join us and be a part of the wellness mission; we want you on our team.
If you are a dentist
don't let your caries management program be 'just good enough' – make it the best!
I recommend this product to patients all the time and they love it. It helps with dry mouth and bad breath. I also love the fact that after patients have been using the product, I see great results with caries reduction.
Nina, RDH
CariFree gives us the confidence to tell our patients that we offer the state-of-the-art in cavity prevention. The simplicity of the CariFree system gives our hygienists and team members the confidence they need to recommend it every time. We all know that CAMBRA works, but until CariFree there was not a simple, effective, and reproducible way to incorporate it into our practice. With our 3 practices seeing nearly 1000 new patients per month, our office needed a prevention protocol that was simple, effective, and attractive to our patients. CariFree provided just that.
Dr. Eric Roman
CariFree is definitely the most recommended brand in our dental office. All of the products are amazing and really work! Our patients are very pleased with the results they are getting from CariFree. Great product overall!
Malory Harcourt, RDH, Dr. Christine Hansen
CariFree allows us to have an entirely new dialogue with my patients. Most of them understand the concept that if they don't treat the underlying disease they will be back in my chair for more fillings. CariFree allows us to discuss the caries process and treatment plan with confidence. The confidence comes from knowing that we have a proven solution that is relatively simple to implement, cost effective, and quantifiable. For those patients that have chosen to use the CariFree system the results have been great, reduced caries risk, healthier mouth, fewer fillings, and some ownership in the solution. For those who have declined treatment the results have been the same as before. More fillings.
Dr. Mark Germack
I really like the new product line that incorporates all the things I have discussed with my patients in the past in regards to fluoride, xylitol, pH etc. but it was never so coordinated so easily for the patient to combine the benefits.
Having used the CariFree, and now the CTx, system since its inception, I can attest that it is an incredible adjunct to a caries prevention program. With proper patient compliance, phenomenal results can be obtained, and I could not practice without it.
Ron Kaminer, DDS
We have been doing reassessments and seeing awesome results so far. Patients have been telling us they love the product and can't live without it because it makes their mouth feel awesome and clean!
Kim, Assistant, Dr. Heggerick
Everything is going great, now that we have the hang of things and know who to recommend kits for etc. many more patients are accepting treatment!
Megan, Clinical Coordinator
As an office we have been excited to be able to offer more of a solution than just "brush and floss" to our patients with cavities. As we are all using the products ourselves we are finding it easy to make the recommendation to our patients. When you believe in a product the patient can tell, and doesn't feel like we are just trying to sell them something. I am also excited to watch a new generation of patients be "carie free" their whole lives. Love your products, love the research and thought behind each one and am really glad to be an office that can make a difference in the lives of our patients. Thank you.
Candace L.Krause, DMD
We have been using CariFree for 1 year now, and are having great results. We have recommended it to several patients who have recurrent decay. After getting and using CariFree, the patients come back without recurrent decay! Patients love the idea, that they are able to do something to prevent the decay, instead of getting fillings. We highly recommend you try CariFree.
Lisa Simonaro, RDA, Dental Comfort
With you new CRA form and guide it is so easy to educate our patients about CAMBRA and does not require a lot of extra time. I have been practicing for 30 year and have been frustrated with the results of brush, floss, fluoride model for caries control. It is great to give our patients an evidence based solution. We are seeing great results and our patients are excited too. Thank you, Dr. K and crew!!!
Dr. Frances Engler
One of my top priorities as a dentist is to help my patients win their battle against caries and the CariFree system is designed for just that! With CariFree we can objectively measure the caries risk and treat it appropriately. Caries prevention isn't just about telling my patients to "brush better" anymore. I feel more like a doctor and less like a broken record!
Dr. Ryan Swain, Six Month Smiles
I love the CariFree system and use it to help every patient in my practice control dental caries. I feel so much more confident as a practitioner when I know I'm helping my patients not just treat the symptoms of the disease, but actually get to the root of the problem and knock it down. Using this system helps me to create so much more value for my patients and I know they appreciate having me look out for their total health.
Adam Kirkpatrick, DDS
I love how simple the CariFree system has been for our practice. We are able to confidently assess caries risk in a matter of seconds and have accurate information to help treatment plan their case. It has also been a great marketing tool demonstrating how advanced we are with our technologies and techniques.
Dr. Carson Kutsch
The CariScreen Caries Susceptibility Testing Meter has been a very effective tool in our practice. "Seeing is Believing" Being able to show our patients the reading we get has helped them to understand the relationship between the bacteria levels and caries. We love the entire program and would highly recommend it.
Kathy, Cumberland Valley Dental Care
As a clinician with over thirty years in dentistry, we are fortunate to occasionally see a new product or concept that completely changes our thinking about how we treat our patients. CariFree is one of those rare products. I can highly recommend CariFree. You will find the staff at CariFree to be highly knowledgeable and excellent at training your team. Most importantly, you will enjoy the feeling that you really can change a patient's caries prognosis with these products.
Dr. William Moorhead
Our patients appreciate the science background and the CariScreen test. Seeing their number really helps them to start thinking about what's going on in their mouth.
Judy, RDH
Our office has incorporated a risk assessment protocol in our examination routine for several years now and the CariScreen Meter is an integral part of this system. Having a quantitative data point, such as the CairScreen score, is a powerful tool toward assessing caries risk that both my staff and patients appreciate.
Dr. Ryan Galligan
Our office likes to only stock one toothpaste to keep things simple. CTx 4 Gel 5000 makes sense to be the only choice, as it is the best combination of xylitol and fluoride, minus all the other questionable additives that other toothpastes have.
Sara Jo, Horizon Dental Care
Our patients are very happy with the CTx4 Gel 5000! As a clinician, it's important to be able to recommend the best product on the market to our patients. This product has a low abrasive index, fluoride, xylitol and addresses the pH issue. Very happy with this product!
Sherree, RDH
We recommend the CTx4 Gel to all of our high caries risk patients as well as patients who complain of sensitivity. We have had excellent results using this product. Most patients using the CariFree gel purchase more on their own, before we even have a chance to ask how it is going for them!
Ashley, RDA, Dr. Wade Kifer
We love the CTx4 Gel 5000. It has helped minimize sensitivity and remineralize weaker areas of the teeth. It has also helped prevent cavities!
Lisa Nichols, Nampa Smiles Sedation
and Family Dentistry
I think that the CariFree rinses are the best acid reducing rinses that I have seen. I like that the CTx4 Treatment Rinse has the additional benefits of fluoride and xylitol that you can't get in most over the counter products. Thanks for producing these products.
Dr. Quinn Schiffman
If you are a patient
still experiencing cavities, it's time to try something different!
I have been suffering from frequent cavities over the last few years and this is the only relief I have found. Since starting the program I have had no new cavities, and my dentist says he has seen an improvement in areas of the teeth which were 'watch areas' with thin enamel before starting the program. Keep the products coming!
Andy, CariFree Patient
I love how this makes my mouth feel. I have heard all the good reviews of these products and look forward to seeing how my next checkup goes. I have a lot of old decay that I am trying to hold off as well as any developing. It's about time someone came up with something that can actually help stop decay, we are in the 21st century for crying out loud!
Jamie, CariFree Patient
Five years ago I had to start taking a number of heart medications. They all caused dental caries and I soon ended up with over $11,000 of dental work. My dentist started me out on with a CariFree CTx26 Kit. I soon graduated to the maintenance rinse, gel, and gum. I use the rinse every night at bedtime. I use the gel after meals and I use the gum when I don't have a chance to brush after a meal. Since then I have had no extra dental work other than quarterly cleanings. For me the CariFree products have been a real godsend.
Farrar, CariFree Patient
I just wanted to write and thank you for your incredible products, my 16 year old son has had decay problems for years. I had every dental product you can find at the store or that I could find online under our bathroom sink. Nine months ago our dentist prescribed some CariFree treatment products and on Monday my son had his first decay free appointment in 10 years. We still have some work to do and he is going to have some implants when he is a little older. But I am not worried about all his teeth decaying to the point of being pulled out anymore. I cry every time I think about his teeth and all we have been through. Thank you so so much!
Debbie, CariFree Patient
I had constant decay issues until my dentist started me on the CariFree products. I have older damage that still needs to be dealt with, but I have been free of new cavities for a few years now. They are well worth it.
Jenn, CariFree Patient
After getting 6 cavities during my pregnancy, my dentist started me on this program, and I haven't had even one cavity in the 5 years since. The citrus flavor is great--kind of like a creamsicle.
Katie, CariFree Patient
Our dentist recommended this when our son got his first cavity. He began using it right away and I am happy to say that there have been no more cavities in the last year! He also tended to have smelly breath and this has really helped!
Anonymous, CariFree Patient
I have been using the mint flavored rinse for about 3 years and have not had any new cavities. Before I started using CariFree my Dentist bills were huge. My Dentist is amazed.
Stephen, CariFree Patient
I have been getting glowing reviews from my dentist at my check-ups as my decay has decreased by at least 80% since I began using CariFree CT3 Rinse. I have also started my grandsons on this and they love it.
Valerie, CariFree Patient
This rinse works great for both of my children. My son had many cavity issues, and now those are a thing of a past thanks to the rinse and the gel (both grape flavor). As others have mentioned, the products are worth the cost when you consider the savings from two root canals, and 3 more fillings -- all before the age of 6!!!
Heather, CariFree Patient
I'm a terrible candidate for decay but have had great checkups since using CariFree. I use the rinse, gel, and mouth spray. Would eat CariFree food, wear CariFree clothes, drive CariFree cars. You name it. Great products!
Jerry, CariFree Patient
I'm so glad my dentist recommended this product. Not only does it taste good, but its more beneficial for my mouth than the products you get over the counter at your store.
Kornelia, CariFree Patient
My dentist recommended this rinse to me to help prevent cavities. I have been using it for over a year and have had no cavities! Great product!
Rebecca, CariFree Patient
With the addition of a few years to the calendar, along with accompanying medications, I began to show signs of "dry mouth" deterioration of my teeth. Because of this, I began the CariFree program as prescribed by my dentist. In the time I have been using the rinse and gel, the situation within my mouth has improved, and I have been very satisfied with the product and ensuing results.
Stan, CariFree Patient
I have spent $$$ at the dentist all my life. Two years ago my dentist recommended CariFree. I have been faithfully using the rinse/gel, and have had NO new cavities since using CariFree. My dentist is pleased, and I am thrilled! Plus, I actually like the rinse/gel, and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Mary, CariFree Patient
I have been using CariFree rinse for about 3 years. My Dentist is amazed at the results. I cannot remember the last time I went in for a cleaning and my dentist found cavities. Before I started using CariFree cavities were found at almost every cleaning.
Stephen, CariFree Patient
My 3 children ages 6, 3 & 1 enjoy brushing and no cavities since we began using CariFree over a year ago!
Nicole, CariFree Patient
My dental office did a bacteria count test, and the results showed that my mouth contained a slightly high level of bacteria. My dentist suggested that I try the CariFree Maintenance Rinse (CTx3 Rinse) and gel toothpaste. A retest a few months later showed about a 50% drop in the bacteria count. I was impressed with the result and am continuing to use both these products.
Randall, CariFree Patient
I have used the rinse for two years and have seen vast improvement in bacteria control. I use it twice a day and supplement with the toothpaste. Wonderful product!
Heidi, CariFree Patient
I've been using the toothpaste and the rinse for more than 5 years. Aside from having to repair old damage, I have had no new cavities or damage since I've been using the CariFree products. Thanks!.
Penelope, CariFree Patient
The CTx3 Rinse is my favorite CariFree product. I use it every day since I don't get cavities anymore thanks to you guys and never want to have to go through that again. My two girls love the grape.
Jennifer, CariFree Patient
I have used the mint flavored rinse for a year now and have not had a new cavity since. It is a little expensive, but like I read somewhere, it is cheaper than paying for fillings.
Chris, CariFree Patient
As I got older and needed to take more medication my mouth became drier and I was getting a lot of cavities. Since starting to use the gel and rinse a few years ago I have not had any cavities and my mouth feels much better.
Norman, CariFree Patient
Started using CTx3 Gel after our dentist noticed significant recent cavities and increased mouth bacteria that she was sure was a result of the bacteria. WOW! Major improvement with CTx3 Gel. No more problems since. We will not stop using CTx3. Thnx for creating it.
Ed, CariFree Patient
I love the smooth feel of the gel as opposed to traditional toothpaste. In combination with the rinse, my mouth feels super super clean. I began using the gel and rinse on my dentist's recommendation and have been cavity-free so far! I will absolutely continue using these products.
KGM, CariFree Patient
My family loves this toothpaste! Our dentist recommended it for my husband to use, but they whole family has been using it. I'll never buy another toothpaste. We haven't had a cavity since we started using this product. It's pricey, but so worth is since we've saved so much at the dentist!
Britt, CariFree Patient
My friend who worked at pediatric dentist introduced me this product and my kids love it!! They really love the taste of grape so I use the spray as the treat for brushing teeth. It has been worked really well so far because they have not have cavities since we got this product!!
Savaka, CariFree Patient
I use the spray on my 5 year old. We use it every night after our bedtime brushing and in the morning before school. She loves it and is always quick to remind me if I forget. I've used the CariFree products on my daughter for about 3 years now and so far NO CAVITIES!!
Heather, CariFree Patient
My mom has Sjögren's syndrome and this product is the only thing that we have found that works for her. She was using biotene but it never worked and her teeth were just disappearing before our eyes. Her dentist has her using this and a CariFree rinse and gel program and her decay problems have almost stopped and she uses the spray all day. Thank you to whoever invented this. It makes me cry when I think about how long we looked for something that helped. She said she would like to hug whoever makes this. :)

We've had the same problem up here with a couple tests as well, I can also tell you a 60 dog master is no fun for the judges either, know of a couple that said never again.. I don't feel it's a pro problem it's a system problem, there just trying to make a living and have found a nich, with people willing to pay them to run there dog at a level where they should be running there own dog, one other observation the past couple of weekends is that just because a guy/gal has there kennel name on the side of there truck and has a bunch of entries that doesn't mean there a "PRO" witnessed some terrible handling by people getting paid to do it..
Hang on... 50 minutes to fill one test and 15 minutes to fill another, filled by pros primarily?
That means someone is getting the heads up as to EXACTLY when the test will be finalized so that can sit and enter multiple dogs quickly.
If that's the case there are a whole bunch of people involved and it's not a very fair situation.
Just what the sport needs long term, more ways to close it off to the regular Joe.

Entering dogs that you think might be ready and scratching them at the last minute is a real problem created by people who are too selfish to realize they are blocking other people who have dogs that are truly ready, in the name of making a $$ or chasing a $10 master national plate.

Optogenetics Stimulates the Functioning of Stem Cell-Derived Neurons
Scientists are currently able to make neurons and other brain cells from stem cells, but getting these neurons to properly function when transplanted to the host has proven to be more difficult. Now, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham), in collaboration with researchers at Stanford University, have found that with the use of optogenetics, these stem cell-derived neurons could not only conduct electrical impulses, but also rouse neighboring neuronal networks into firing—at roughly the same rate they would in a normal, functioning hippocampus. The study was published in the November 7 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.
"We showed for the first time that embryonic stem cells that we've programmed to become neurons can integrate into existing brain circuits and fire patterns of electrical activity that are critical for consciousness and neural network activity," said Stuart A. Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., senior author of the study. Lipton is director of Sanford-Burnham's Del E. Webb Neuroscience, Aging, and Stem Cell Research Center and a clinical neurologist.
The trick turned out to be light. Lipton and his team—including Juan Piña-Crespo, Ph.D., Maria Talantova, Ph.D., and other colleagues at Sanford-Burnham and Stanford University—transplanted human stem cell-derived neurons into a rodent hippocampus, the brain's information-processing center. Then they specifically activated the transplanted neurons with Optogenetic stimulation, a relatively new technique that combines light and genetics to precisely control cellular behavior in living tissues or animals.
Optogenetics was developed by Scientific Council Member Karl Deisseroth, M.D., Ph.D., with the support of a NARSAD Young Investigator Grant in 2005. The new technology uses light to make neurons fire one at a time, giving researchers extraordinary control over specific brain circuits in living animals. Now in use at over 1,000 laboratories, the new method is enabling identification of the mechanisms that give rise to depression, anxiety, PTSD and other brain and behavior disorders.

OMAHA, Neb. – Mississippi State has owned the late innings, especially over the last seven weeks. That proclivity for being clutch could come in handy again today.
The Bulldogs (50-18) are back in action at TD Ameritrade Park, taking on Oregon State (52-12) in the College World Series. MSU needs only to win today (2 p.m., ESPN) or Saturday to advance to the best-of-three championship series, which begins Monday.
MSU has reached this point thanks in large part to late-game superiority. Since May 4 – a 21-game span – State has scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning or later eight times.
MSU is 15-3 in one-run games this season and has won its last 10 one-run games, including the first two here in Omaha. The Bulldogs beat Oregon State, 5-4, six days ago and then downed Indiana by the same score Monday. Both times, MSU took the lead in the eighth inning.
"It just seems like even if we're losing in the eighth, we're not down or anything," catcher Nick Ammirati said. "We never think we're going to lose."
That confidence is borne of a psychological approach that has been well-documented during this NCAA tournament run. The Bulldogs like to have fun in the dugout no matter the situation, no matter the score.
Nothing can seem to make them tighten up in tense moments.
"We seem to be getting down a lot early lately, but even the vibe in the dugout is like we're still up," said first baseman Wes Rea, whose two-run double lifted MSU past Oregon State in the first meeting.
MSU's offense has had different heroes this year. Trey Porter came up with the go-ahead hit on Monday, and guys like Demarcus Henderson, Mitch Slauter and Brett Pirtle have had big hits over the past few weeks.
"I don't think our kids on the bench are saying, man, if so-and-so doesn't get a hit here, we're not going to win this game," head coach John Cohen said. "That's the mark of a great ball club, is not to have to feel like all your eggs are in one basket."
It also helps that MSU has one of the country's strongest bullpens. In eight NCAA tournament games, MSU's bullpen has a 2.17 ERA, and closer Jonathan Holder has four saves.
State is 45-0 this season when leading after eight innings.
"We have a tough bullpen," outfielder Hunter Renfroe said, "and we rely on them to come into the games and shut down the games for us when we do get a lead."

Thread: Stocking question
Stocking question
I have a 77g tank with the following:
Fluval G6 filter
Fluval 405 filter
real driftwood
16 diamond tetras
16 bloodfin tetras
8 (soon hopefully to be 18+) glowlight tetras
My next fish that I want to add is a pleco.Tank is usually kept at 25C. I have had this tank up for about 7 weeks now (although 2 weeks were without fish - long story, see my journal) and am starting to see brown algae on the fake plants and green "mossy" looking algae on my driftwood. I absolutely will not depend on algae to sustain whichever pleco we get; we will feed algae wafers, etc. Water testing is done routinely amm<0.25 (no it is not 0; I have a weird water contaminant that always makes amm show + even when it cannot be), trites = 0 and trates don't get any higher than 20 before a water change. Yes my pH is high at 8.2 but it is very stable.
I had originally wanted BN plecos, but I have seen Bulldog/Rubberlip/ Chaetostoma thomsoni and *really* like them. I don't mind lowering the temp to 24-24.5 as I think the tetras will still be okay with it. I just wonder about the following:
Is the Bulldog pleco going to eat my glowlights? They are small, but probably at least 7/8" long.
Will the Bulldog be okay in my tank? I do have a good (but not huge) amount of flow from the outputs of the filters which can be turned up if necessary.
Just one or can I maybe swing two? My drift wood is huge and I have a lot of fake plants; enough for at least two to have their own territory.
Any other issues you can see or predict that I cannot?

While I can't help you with compatibility questions, I would advise you to not put a pleco into a 7 week old tank even though it's cycled. Unless someone else states otherwise, I would wait a bit longer before adding in a bottom dweller.
The brown algae sounds like diatoms which are common in newer tanks and will last a few months - they are harmless & wipe off easily.
Rats. Still too soon, eh? How much longer should I wait do you think?Why, yes, I do have a podcast that has absolutely nothing to do with fish: Rural Adventures In Creativity And Sanity

Natural Gas Pipelines: Background
The role of the natural gas industry in energy production has grown as its product is increasingly seen as a viable and cleaner alternative to oil and gasoline. Companies within this industry transport natural gas from oil fields to utility companies through pipeline systems.
In recent months, energy companies have pushed the Environmental Protection Agency to lift export restrictions on liquefied natural gas. As the quantity of natural gas in the United States is high relative to the rest of the world, LNG prices are higher abroad. Top industry donors such as the American Gas Association and Spectra Energy want exports to include NATO countries so they can reap higher profits. Chemical companies are opposed to widening exports, fearing that the domestic price will rise and force them to cut back their own production.
Contributions from members of the industry have increased in each of the past five election cycles, reaching more than $4.5 million in 2012. In that cycle, donations favored Republicans more than ever before - 77 percent of the cash went to conservatives - and the industry has leaned to the right in every election cycle since 1996. Energy Transfer Partners led the industry in contributions in the 2012 cycle, targeting Republicans and outside spending groups with more than $564,000. Williams Companies, a pipeline operations organization and a consistent high spender, donated $452,750 to fill the number two slot. Only about 20 percent of that total went to Democrats.
After skyrocketing to nearly $20 million in 2010, lobbying expenditures decreased in each of the following years to settle at $15.7 million in 2012 (still its third highest total ever). Williams Companies was the industry's biggest lobbying client, devoting $3.3 million to influencing legislation concerning natural gas, pipelines, and energy taxes.
The industry looks favorably upon legislation that would increase the presence of natural gas throughout the nation and the world at large, and these efforts are ongoing. For example, in June 2013 the House passed a pair of bills that would expand offshore drilling, but it appeared unlikely that the Senate and White House would lend their approval to the measures.

Fingers crossed that we've seen the worst of it — analysts say gas prices won't go any higher than the April 6 peak of $3.94 per gallon — but filling up your tank this summer is still going to cost a big chunk of change. According to the price-tracking website MaineGasPrices.com, Maine drivers were paying about $3.90 a gallon as of Monday, April 30.
As it's a presidential election year, accusations abound about who or what is the cause of these pocket-draining prices.
On the campaign trail, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney and GOP talking heads have fingered the Obama administration's reluctance to drill in the Arctic Refuge or approve the Keystone XL pipeline as factors contributing to high fuel costs. Throughout March and April, as pump prices climbed steadily, Romney repeatedly blasted "the gas hike trio" — US secretary of energy Steven Chu, secretary of the interior Ken Salazar, and Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson — who he claims came into office with the goal of raising energy prices in order to steer Americans toward alternative energies.
"They have put in place policies that are designed to reduce our production of fossil-based fuels and drive up the cost of energy and therefore encourage people to move towards wind and solar which are of course much higher cost," Romney said in April.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration continues to push for development of domestic natural gas supplies as well as increased energy and fuel efficiency to reduce demand.
But it turns out that none of these explanations gets at the root cause of astronomical gas prices.
Fluctuations at the pump have "nothing to do with the actual supply and demand for petroleum-based products," explains University of Southern Maine economics professor Susan Feiner. In fact, recent reports suggest that worldwide supply is steady, while US demand for oil has actually gone down slightly due to the recession and an influx of fuel efficient cars.
Feiner points her finger squarely in the direction of Wall Street traders, who buy and sell oil futures (a/k/a contracts to exchange an asset in the future at a price agreed upon in the present). They gobble up futures, which raises the price, and then sell to make a profit. "Their activity drives up the cost, the future price of oil," she says.
Keep in mind that these speculators are trading "paper oil" — they have no intent on ever accepting delivery of real, physical oil. And right now, tensions are running high in and around Iran, creating fears about looming oil shortages. So people buy more futures, which leads to the impression of a shortage, which keeps prices high.
Meanwhile, oil refineries (where crude oil is turned into gasoline for your car) charge retailers (i.e., gas stations) "not based on what it cost them today to produce the gas, but on what it will cost them to replace the gas they just shipped," she says. As market prices rise, so does the cost to your local Big Apple. And that cost is passed on to you.
In a New York Times opinion piece last month, former congressman Joseph Kennedy II (a Massachusetts Democrat) wrote: "[Speculators] should be banned from the world's commodity exchanges, which could drive down the price of oil by as much as 40 percent and the price of gasoline by as much as $1 a gallon."

Neighbourhood Action Groups
Neighbourhood Action Groups (NAGs) are a key part of Neighbourhood Policing in Thames Valley.
A NAG is a multi-agency, problem-solving group that consists of relevant partner agencies, key stakeholders and, most importantly, members of the local community.
NAGs focus their work around the main priorities that are identified after consultation with the local community. Members, who are all volunteers, take on responsibility for achieving certain tasks on behalf of their neighbourhood.
How do I get involved?
For more information about getting involved in your local NAG, please call 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number. Ask to speak to a representative from your local Neighbourhood Policing team. Or you can enquire about joining your local NAG by visiting your local police station.
Who can get involved in a NAG?
NAGs attract a broad and diverse membership with a variety of skills and experience. The following partners will be considered to sit on a NAG:
- Local Authority/District Council representative.
- Youth service.
- Housing manager.
- Environmental officer.
- Parish councillor.
- Local Authority/Council councillor.
- Headteacher.
- Local business community member.
- Licensee.
- Neighbourhood Watch coordinator.
- Police (neighbourhood inspector, sergeant, constable, police community support officer).
- Neighbourhood members (minimum of three) – people known and respected by the local community.
- A minimum of two young people, aged between 14 and 16.
- Consideration should be given to invite a specialist agency to tackle specific problems – fly tipping, for example.
Administrative, practical and communication skills are all highly valued. Under-represented groups, such as young people and people who are disabled, are encouraged to join.
People who represent others can also bring a lot to a NAG. For example, a member of a residents' association or church can put across the views of this organisation.
What's in it for me?
There are several benefits to you in getting involved in your local NAG. As a member of your NAG, you can:
- Influence decisions and encourage action on issues that matter to people in your neighbourhood.
- Have chances to change things for the better in your neighbourhood.
- Gain a sense of satisfaction in making a difference to local quality of life.
- Add something valuable to your CV – working as part of your NAG can demonstrate lots of skills to a prospective employer.
- Work together with key partner agencies.
Specific Issue Action Group
Some neighbourhoods do not have a Neighbourhood Action Group. However, they may have a Specific Issue Action Group.
In some areas, particularly larger rural areas or neighbourhoods that have very distinct communities within an area, Specific Issue Actions Groups can be established to deal with more localised issues in a multi-agency task and resolve process.
Specific Issue Action Groups are made up of key stakeholders and local residents. It would be temporary in nature, being disbanded once an issue is resolved.
To find out if there is a Specific Issue Action Group in your neighbourhood, please call 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number and ask to speak to a representative from your local Neighbourhood Policing team.

We had four first time handlers in the derby this past weekend.
Two of them placed. One finished. All of them are hooked.
It was nice to see.

David is correct that Ted and Ray were very helpful to the handlers and took the time to answer questions and give advice. After the second series was complete, Ted did a thorough explanation of the series which was very educational to me for sure. They also took time to set up 4 great series and were not in a rush to get home (after having also judged the open), which was really appreciated.

They usually get cranked up in late February in these parts, though there is no exact date. Some days there's more & some days there's less. It is a great thing once they get going though!
Four years ago I heard a lone bird gobble 20+ times from the roost before flydown in early November when I was muzzleloader hunting for deer. I expect it was a dominance thing with him because I saw a huge longbeard chasing a smaller bird coming from the same direction the gobbles did a half hour after flydown. I ended up keeping tabs on that bird by his gobbling and got him on opening day the next Spring. He is still my biggest bird to date. Story & pictures are on the old forum if it is still accessable.

Patently Apple's Jack Purcher today directs our attention to Apple (AAPL) patent number 8,610,726B2, "Computer systems and methods with projected display," announced today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which describes a computer that has a built-in projector.
Purcher notes Apple's claim that the invention "may provide an entirely new category of computer systems as compared to desktops and laptops" by doing away with the need for a display inside the housing of the device. The computer could display information anywhere there's a clean surface, and Apple points out that the computer could be free of all external wires with the exception of the power cord.
Perhaps more interesting, in a sense, is Apple's claim that because such a computer would do image processing, rather than leave it to the display technology, it would circumvent the shortcomings of traditional projectors, given that it would process a video source in its "raw" format, rather than in a form that's been degraded to suit the projector's processing ability:
As will be further understood from the following description, computer systems and methods disclosed herein may also provide an advancement over "smart projectors" that include image processing and/or correction capabilities. Regardless of the processing capabilities of such "smart projectors," which may be surpassed and justified for a computer system as described herein, a "smart projector" is limited to image processing and correction using processed presentation data […] When a "smart projector" performs image processing and/or correction, the projector acts on the presentation data as provided, not the raw presentation data from the source […] The image processing and/or correction may be performed by a computer system that has access to the raw presentation data. Thus, the computer system has more information/knowledge regarding the presentation data, not being limited to processed data that may be modified in a manner that provides less information and/or knowledge of the processed data is limited. Thus, the image processing and/or correction may be performed in a richer space, that is, raw space.
What's more, Apple touts the integration of a ton of sensors — the word is mentioned 51 times in the filing — which would gather information about the environment in which the image is being projected, to perform adjustments to the projection:
An image sensor in communication with at least one of the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit, the image sensor configured to obtain image data regarding the image projected from the integrated projector output; and a depth sensor in communication with the at least one of the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit, the depth sensor configured to obtain surface data regarding the surface onto which the image projected from the integrated projector output is projected.
Apple shares today are down $1.08 at $556.42.

I knew Chad still wasn't feeling well when he turned to me in the Prague train station and suggested we stay at a "splurge" hotel in Cesky Krumlov. We were waiting to take the train to this little, medieval town in the Czech Republic about three hours south of Prague, and I began to feel his head for a fever. It really had been months since we splurged on accommodations, but if ever a time, this small, cheap town was it. Chad purchased a phone card and called the first place with three dollar signs next to it in Rick Steves'. They only had one night available, so we took it in the hopes that, once we got there, another room would open up for the second night. I didn't really care; it was a splurge, and we had a reservation!
Cesky Krumlov, meaning "Czech Bend in the River", is one of the most beautiful and enchanting places I have ever seen
Our hotel was right in the center of the Old Town, and when we arrived, we were greeted by the cutest little dog in the arms of a very friendly woman. The place had that wintry log cabin feel to it with a fire burning in the lounge surrounding the reception area. They both showed us to our room, the snail room, and we settled in for a while to enjoy our "amenities". The heat was on, there were soaps and shampoo on the bed, the sheets were terry cloth with a down comforter, there was a hair dryer in the bathroom (I haven't used one in over four months), and our view was of the castle tower. Although the bathroom still flooded when we showered, it was a comfortable and clean room that didn't require a sleep sac!
We headed to a recommended local restaurant for some traditional Czech food, although, the place ended up to be sort of a mixed bag of people
The next morning we left our bags under the watchful eye of the puppy and went to find a new place to stay, as no rooms had opened up. We found out that there was a radiologist's convention in town, and that is why our place was booked mid-week (my old colleagues will appreciate the fact that I almost stopped one of the international doctors to ask if s/he knew what a Videofluoroscopy was!). As much as we liked the first place, we immediately found a better place with a balcony, right on the river, for less money...and they brought breakfast to the room in the morning! We grabbed our stuff and said goodbye to the dog.
After settling into the new room, we set out to explore the town before heading up to the castle. The town center isn't very big, but it's lined with Baroque and Renaissance style buildings. There is an old, red pharmacy on one corner that has been there since 1620, and can proudly say it has turned McDonald's away all three times they made an offer
As we made our way up to the castle, the first thing I noticed was the beautifully painted tower. This is what we saw from our hotel window and can basically be seen from almost anywhere in the town for that matter. The next site was a surprise for me: a bear pit with a real live bear. This tradition was started in the 16th century to symbolize a long and noble family lineage, and we got to witness this big guy eating a huge lunch of raw vegetables! We took a mandatory tour of the interior, which didn't really have anything redeeming that I can recall. What made it even more dull was a terrible tour guide who wasn't really proficient in English and kept repeating whole sentences if she thought she made a mistake (she was also quite possibly a stutterer, so without knowing, I decided to give her a break and some serious credit for giving tours). But, she really was way too scripted and basically laughed the hardest at her own jokes. After the tour, we had some hot soup at a restaurant on the river and enjoyed the peacefulness of the town
When we woke up the next morning, breakfast was delivered with a note from the TI (tourist information) that the transportation we inquired about to Frankfurt was all set up. We opened the door to the balcony and breathed in the crisp morning air while sipping coffee and eating breakfast. I was sad to leave, as this was a place I could hang out for a week or so and just do nothing. The woman at the inn suggested we come back for the winter, as the town sparkles when it snows. That's definitely something I look forward to doing!
He Said:
Cesky Krumlov is one of those towns where every flake of peeling paint, each patch of overgrown grass, and even the shoe-catching cobblestones that impede pathways seem perfectly placed and almost fake. It's a real life Fantasyland.
Cesky (pronounced "chess key") Krumlov is also fairly inexpensive. So when I looked through the book and found out that the listed "splurges" were less than the budget options in 99 percent of the other places we've visited, I called ahead and reserved a room. We stayed in the "Snail Room" of an old, Gothic manor.
That night we went to dinner in a quaint but popular restaurant that was filled with locals, tourists, and conference-going doctors. Unfortunately because I still wasn't feeling too great, I didn't get to sample the town's local beer. But we did enjoy a great dinner as Alli eavesdropped on some radiology speak and the whole restaurant was forced to listen to a table full of loud-mouthed Atlantans talk about how, amongst other things, only French people are ruder than New Yorkers
Back in the Snail Room over green tea, we began to talk about the when-we-returns, and more specifically, the what-is-Chad-going-to-do-with-his-life-when-we-returns. Maybe it was that night's encounter with idiocy that got me to thinking, or maybe it was already on my mind since the shit and wish incident on the Charles Bridge, but that night in the Snail Room I came to the conclusion that I just might go back to school when we return to the States. I've missed writing and might even enjoy teaching others how to do it. And who knows how long we might stay in Colorado, but getting another degree seems like an efficient use of time.
For a long time now, even going back to when I was still in school, I've thought about teaching it. I had some amazing writing teachers at the University of Florida, but one always said things that stuck with me more than any other. Mr. Christopher had been a crime beat reporter for a New York City newspaper and was going through the masters program at UF when he taught my class
The next morning we awoke to blue skies and the massive Round Tower from Krumlov Castle out the window. Unfortunately we could only get one night in the Snail Room because of the radiology convention, so we packed up and quickly found an even better place along the river that actually brings breakfast to the room. We dropped our bags and headed out to explore this tiny town, which as it turns out, was used for the filming of a large portion of Mission Impossible.
The Main Square, and in fact the whole town, is filled with charming buildings that haven't changed much in hundreds of years. McDonalds has apparently tried over and over again to relocate the town's pharmacy, but to this day it's in the same place it's been since 1620. In fact, we didn't see one single western chain in the entire city. It was quite refreshing, though there is something to be said for finding a place for a quick bite to eat after 10 p.m.
The town expands out from the Main Square and is wrapped on three sides by the horseshoeing Vltava River, the same river that flows through Prague to the north
Almost immediately upon arrival, Cesky Krumlov reminded both Alli and I of Vail Villiage in Colorado, which I guess is fitting since we both can sort of feel this trip beginning to wind to a close. Oktoberfest really knocked the wind out of us, and it was nice to have a few days to relax and unwind in such a beautiful place. It was also nice to think about what might be to come once we return to the States. Who knows what will happen, but if we settle in Colorado for a while, I realized there's a good chance I'll go back to school. If I go back to school, there's a good chance it will be at Naropa in Boulder. Naropa in Boulder has a semester abroad program in Prague. If I go to Naropa in Boulder, there's always the possibility of a semester abroad in Prague. And if I take a semester abroad in Prague, there's a real good chance of a return to Cesky Krumlov, which we'd both take any day of the week.

Band: Beyonce lip synced US anthem at inaugural
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 3:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 3:21 p.m.
WASHINGTON — Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem during her rousing performance at President Barack Obama's inauguration, according to the U.S. Marine Band.
A band spokeswoman told news outlets Tuesday that the band was notified at the last minute that Beyonce would use a pre-recorded voice track. The band played their instruments live.
All inaugural music is pre-recorded in case weather conditions or other circumstances could interrupt the program.
A representative for Beyonce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Kelly Clarkson's representative said she sang live to perform "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
The use of a recording is typical in big events. In 2009, cellist Yo-Yo Ma was questioned about "hand-synching" for Obama's first inauguration. Ma said instruments weren't functioning properly in 19-degree weather.

How Obama is alienating Syria's rebels
The Barack Obama administration's designation of Jabhat al-Nusra asserts that the group is an extension of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) — merely one of the terrorist organization's aliases. Whether this is the case or whether the administration is issuing the designation as part of a political effort to convince the opposition to shun Jabhat al-Nusra, the move will likely fail to marginalize the group at this juncture. Following the fall of the regime, however, it could help sideline the most destructive influences trying to gain a foothold in post-Assad Syria.
The reaction among anti-Assad Syrians was perhaps best captured by an image that appeared on Facebook shortly after news of the planned designation broke last week. In the picture, residents of the northwestern town of Kafr Anbel hold up a poster showing Obama pointing accusingly toward a flag associated with Jabhat al-Nusra, saying "Terrorism." Behind the U.S. president, however, is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad standing triumphant on a pile of murdered Syrian civilians…
Opposition to the designation is only gaining momentum within Syria's anti-Assad groups. The Syrian National Council (SNC), which was the face of the revolution until being superseded by a new coalition, released a statement rejecting the move. The SNC, which still maintains considerable influence in opposition politics, goes on to explain that the Assad regime's massacres are the true terrorism in Syria today. The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood also stated that the decision to designate Jabhat al-Nusra was "very wrong." The recently elected chief of staff of the Free Syrian Army, Brig. Gen. Salim Idriss, piled on, saying Jabhat al-Nusra was not a terrorist organization, and "depend on young, educated Syrians" for their efforts.

By Tiernan Ray
Database giant Oracle (ORCL) this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue that missed analysts' estimates, but earnings per share that were a bit better than expected.
Revenue in the three months ended in August rose to $8.37 billion, yielding EPS of 59.
Analysts had been modeling $8.5 billion and 56 cents.
Oracle stock is up 61 cents, or 1.8%, at $34.33 in late trading.
Oracle's new software license and cloud software subscriptions revenue rose 5%, year over year, to $1.65 billion, or 7% excluding the effects of foreign exchange. Software update and support revenue rose 7%, or 8% in constant-currency terms, to $4.43 billion.
Hardware systems revenue for Oracle's data appliances such as Exalogic, fell 14%, year over year, to $669 million.
Oracle's co-President, Mark Hurd, remarked that the company's "engineered systems," its hardware business, "had its best ever Q1 in terms of unit sales, growing over 60% compared with the same quarter last year." Hurd added that revenue from new licenses were "especially strong" in the Americas, up 15% excluding currency effects.
Oracle management will host a conference call at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the Webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
Update: Oracle shares have given up earlier gains, as the company on the conference call projected revenue this quarter to range from down 1%, year over year, to up 2%, which is below the average estimate for a 3.5% rise. Earnings per share this quarter are seen in a range of 65 cents to 70 cents, which is slow the average non-GAAP estimate for 69 cents.
Oracle stock is now off $1.02, or 3%, at $32.85.

As Newsday reports, Apple will be pushing back its release of the iPhone 5S, to August or September, Citbank analyst Glen Yeung believes. He's called out "volume production issues" as the most likely reason, says CNET.
While the iPhone 5S is only expected to be a small update, Yeung suggests that next generation's iPhone 6 will be out next year, and feature a larger screen. He's also suggested that a new MacBook Air, featuring Apple's celebrated 'Retina' high-resolution screen tech, will be out soon.
Yeung's note released Sunday also said that Apple plans to roll out a version of its lightweight MacBook Air notebook computer with a Retina display.
While Apple should be applauded for rolling out new tech with the Retina display (and hopefully, it'll be a the new standard on all their hardware), do we really need a marginally tweaked iPhone 5 so soon before the iPhone 6? The next-gen model will likely be leaps and bounds ahead of anything we're likely to see from an iPhone 5S, at least in terms of innovation. And if that turns out not to be the case, and the iPhone 6 fails to impress on a creative level, then they'll be doubly open to criticism in the industry, having had two hardware failures in less than a year.
The jury is still out on both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 6, but the market has evolved quite a bit over since the iPhone 5 launched. Google Play downloads are up 4 times from a year ago and about even with the App Store. It's clear the iPhone 6 is where Apple's agenda lies right now, so whatever the iPhone 5S does that its predecessor couldn't had better be pretty impressive. If it isn't, it could be in a position to lose its number one spot in the smartphone market within the year.
