I enjoyed the course. I found very informative and useful information and suggestions that will assist me in my teaching profession. Sonya has an effective and often humorous way of presenting her research. I highly recommend her as an instructor.
I enjoyed this course very much. I think it should be a prerequisite for all parents with children about to enter adolesence. Thank you!
I got some great information and plan to use all of it as I work with students, teachers, and parents this fall as a middle school counselor. This was my first on-line course and I would definitely take another one because it was a very good experience.
I have a young teenager at home. This course has been a tremendous help to me in learning to deal with her actions and reactions.
This course had lots of excellent information for parents and professionals who want a better understanding of pre-teens and teenagers. A lot of food for thought and very challenging!
This course helped to freshen up my knowledge on the subject of adolescent psychology. I found much of the information to be quite useful in dealing with my students at the junior high level as well as my 14-year-old daughter. Thanks.
This course was an excellent choice. The information was so interesting and useful, both professionally and personally. Thank you!
This was definitely one of the very most interesting and useful courses I have taken. It offers a tremendous amount of insight, especially for parents and others who teach/work with adolescents. In addition to providing information pertaining to all the important facets of adolescence, the instructor also ties this in with the impact of earlier life experiences, quality of parenting, family environment, etc. As a private educational tutor, I plan to utilize the understandings and knowledge I have gained to better meet the needs of my adolescent students.
This was my first online course...The convenience and flexibility of time was paramount in order for me to complete this course. I was able to juggle everything in a time sensitive manner...This course enabled me to achieve my objective. I needed to take a DESE of MA approved Adolescent Psychology course in order for me to meet the criteria for certification. This course was approved. I look forward to going to the DESE tomorrow with my Certificate of Completion. This class was informative. Thank you!
I took this course as an addition to my professional development requirement. I found it refreshing and very informative...This course has also allowed me to rethink my teaching style when interacting with my 6th, 7th and 8th grade students...The results were mind opening and life changing. I will look for this instructor again when I need to take another course. Thank you, Sonya!

I hope the NWTF MN president Dick Snyder enjoys warring his Packer Cheese Head hat at the MN State Convention board meeting Jan 11th. Cory Catlin and Dick Snyder had a bet, if the Viking's won Cory would ware a Viking Horn hat, and send Dick a case of Capital Brewery's finest lagar and a wheel of fine chedder cheese. If the Packers won Dick would ware a Cheese Head hat and send a case of their finest brew and MN sausages.
A good friendly bet between the chapter presidents.

Great materials!
Great learning or refresher book!
Good comprehensive book
Very good. Merci !
Holy Mother of God, I've been looking for a book like this forever. So many books about linux today go all gui on you, yet everyone who's "Good" at linux uses the damned command line. It had all been snippets and learn 20 commands and see ya! till now. Finally, the whole enchilada with scripting, verdes, chile, and mole sauces. Thanks bshotts!
I just created an account on SourceForge to give this book a thumbs up. This book is a very rare source of complete and concise information on using BASH - and you can get it for free! From now on it's "man, LinuxCommand, Google" workflow for learning shell for me.
Very useful information. From basics to advanced commands, all detailed. Really thanks
very good project
IMHO a very good first introduction about "semantic bash" . Maybe the quality of your work deserve translation in other languages? For who's interested i prepare a deck(flashcards) for mnemosyne SRS here: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/content/linuxshell

News Releases, Media Advisories
For Immediate Release: Contact: Kelly Huff February 12, 1999 Ron Harris Sharon Snyder Ian Stirton
WASHINGTON -- The number of federally registered political action committees (PACs) increased slightly since July 1, 1998, bringing the total number of registered PACs to 3,798, according to a semi-annual survey taken January 1, 1999, by the Federal Election Commission.
Corporate PACs remain the largest category, with 1,567 committees, followed by non-connected - 935, trade/membership/health - 821, labor - 321, corporations without stock - 115, and cooperatives - 39.
PACs sponsored by corporations and labor organizations are technically referred to as "separate segregated funds" and must register within 10 days of being established. Non-connected PACs (those which are not connected to or sponsored by a corporation or labor organization, and which are not related to a candidate's campaign or to a political party organization) must register within 10 days after certain financial activity exceeds $1,000 during a calendar year.
Registration does not necessarily imply financial activity. Many PACs report making no contributions to candidates or independent expenditures on behalf of or against candidates. Financial information on PACs will be included in future FEC news releases.
The following chart details the number of PACs in existence since the end of 1974.

There must have been some good depth in the field of dogs for so many to complete all series. There was an entry of 36, with 5 scratches, so more than 1/2 (17) the dogs were still there at the end.
The 4th series of the Derby was a very tight double with the long bird way up a hill thrown right to left hip pocket to the go bird flyer. Many of the dogs curled back to the flyer on the way to the long mark. Five made it through.
Derby Placements:
1st - Presto - Tandoc

Congrats Debbie and Judy!
Any news of the Open or AM?
The Am is a tight quad with three retired around a small pond of water. The long birds are thrown momma poppa with the right hand gunners retiring into the same holding blind as the left gunner. There is a short retired thrown from the right back corner of the pond left to right away from the pond and behind a dike-like mound. Those gunner walk in the direction they threw behind the dike. The flyer gunners shoot a wipeout flyer from the right side of the pond into the middle of the pond and about in line with the long right mark. The line to the short retired goes over the bird crates sitting in front of the flyers. The first bird down is the left long bird, then the short retired, then the right long bird, then the flyer. Many dogs are flaring the flyer gunners going for that mark. Most of the dogs seem to be doing the test but some with lots of hunting.
Debbie, we are so happy for you and proud of this accomplishment with Presto!!! I'm remembering our conversation in my living room almost 2 years ago...I told you he was the one!:D
Congratulations Debbie & Presto!!! Congratulations Judy & Dart!!

Officials warn about a new consumer shipping scam
Scam email misleads consumers
State authorities are warning consumers about a scam email that tells them there are problems with a package being delivered to them. It's not a late-arriving holiday present unless one considers a link to malicious software or a pilfering of personal information a gift.
"It's easy for a criminal anywhere in the world to send hundreds of thousands or even millions of these emails with one click of the mouse," said Sandy Chalmers, who runs the Consumer Protection Division in the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. "They cast a very wide net and enough people bite on their pitch that it makes it lucrative for them."
The email in question claims to be from a delivery company like UPS, Fed Ex or the U.S. Postal Service or the examples News 3 has received from viewers, purports to come from major retailers like Best Buy and Costco. It tells the recipient their package "has not been delivered because the specified address was not correct." They are asked to click on a link and fill out a form within a week or they will lose 20-30% when they get their money back.
"There's always something to pique your interest," Chalmers said. "They can always make it seem dire if you don't respond."
Chalmers recommends deleting the message and if you think you may not a shipment outstanding, then call the company yourself to check on its status.

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland covering the windpipe in your neck. It is part of the endocrine system, a network of glands which regulate tissue and organ function by secreting hormones into the bloodstream. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, and growth and development with thyroid hormones (T4, T3). Thyroid hormones regulate cell metabolism (energy production), which affects nearly every organ and cell in the body.
When the thyroid gland produces less hormones than the body needs, the result is
hypothyroidism. When more hormones are produced than necessary, the result is
. Timely detection and proper treatment of these conditions allows people to lead normal, active lives. Left untreated, serious negative health effects can result.
What clues should you be looking for? If you have any of the following symptoms, or you suspect there is a problem with your thyroid, contact your doctor.
When the thyroid is not producing enough hormones, body systems are slowed. Hypothyroidism may cause:
Complications of untreated hypothyroidism may include:
When the thyroid produces too many hormones, body systems are sped up. Hyperthyroidism may cause:
Complications of untreated hyperthyroidism include:
There are subclinical versions of these thyroid conditions. This occurs when you do not have symptoms, but abnormalities show up in routine blood tests.
Subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are associated with increased risk of heart-related health conditions. It is generally recommended that subclinical thyroid disorders be treated, although there is some controversy. Your doctor may suggest a wait and see approach before deciding on a course of action.
If you have any of the above symptoms or have risk factors for developing a thyroid disease, talk to your doctor. Tests can be ordered that will assess how your thyroid is functioning.
For example, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test may be done. TSH, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, triggers the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone. The level of TSH in your body provide a good indicator of how your thyroid is working. If you have a higher-than-normal level, this may mean that you have hypothyroidism. Conversely, a lower-than-normal level may indicate hyperthyroidism. The amounts of thyroid hormones T4 and T3 can also be checked.
A thyroid antibody test can also be ordered. If your body identifies the thyroid as foreign, antibodies are created to attack it. This attack can lead to damage and an increase in the production of thyroid hormones. Depending on which antibodies are present, your doctor can determine the type of thyroid disease you have.
If you are diagnosed with hypothyroidism, normal thyroid levels may be attained by supplementing the body's hormone with a synthetic hormone medication. This medication is available in tablets and must be taken daily for life. The dosage prescribed by a doctor is carefully and gradually adjusted until a normal TSH level has been achieved. The TSH test will have to be repeated to make sure that the dosage continues to be appropriate.
Taking too much of this medication can cause you to have the hyperthyroidism, so it is important that you work closely with your doctor to keep TSH at the right level.
If you are diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, the treatment is more complex and can include antithyroid drug therapy, beta-blockers, and radioactive iodine treatment. In some cases,
thyroid surgery
may be done, which involves removing the thyroid gland.
Remember, if you are experiencing symptoms or have a family history of thyroid disease, do not be afraid to ask your doctor to do a diagnostic test. Timely detection and treatment of a thyroid disorder can greatly enhance your quality of life—for the rest of your life.

About the Author
I am a country girl at heart, born and raised in the South. Most of my books take place in that locale because I simply can't comprehend big-city life. I can't connect to a powerful heroine running a multimillion-dollar company; neither can I relate to glitz and glamour. None of that has anything to do with the real me. Give me a small-town girl struggling to make a living or trying to come to terms with her own insecurities, and I'll give you an idea for a story! I like including children and pets in my stories because, for me, they are an important part of life. As for my heroes, it's true that I like them strong and powerful, but even they have one or two insecurities to deal with. Thankfully, the heroines can help them cope.
My personal life is a lot like my books. I live in a small South Carolina town with my husband and two boys. My husband is still my best friend. He is not only a wonderful father to our children but my own personal hero. I could not have come this far in my career without his constant support. My boys keep me busy from morning till night. Just like other moms, I am always nagging my boys to clean their room, and if one thing drives me crazy, it's all those baseball cards strewn throughout the house! We have pets, of course: two dogs, Boomer and Grunt, and a cat named Snookie.
In what spare time I can find, I enjoy gardening and reading. I have a vegetable garden out back, and I'm always planting flowers. I call this my therapy because it helps me unwind when things get too hectic. But I may as well confess, I use this time to think up new and wonderful stories just for you!

The globalization process of the last decade produced new challenges in our society. Every country has been affected by the disrupting forces that globalization has fostered. In this ever changing environment, Lasallian universities have been working to define a solid position in this new worldwide competitive scenario. In this sense, different initiatives have emerged from the Lasallian community to face this challenging scene, mainly in education and management.
Furthermore, most Lasallian universities must build a consolidated environment to face the requirements for research activity. Although research activity should be based on effort, promoted within research groups, other dimensions of research activity can be developed by promoting the interrelationship with other research groups. So far, this interco-operation among research groups has been sponsored by research programmes in leading countries around the world. The common goal is to create a bigger critical mass of researchers and consequently higher synergetic effects for the different research areas.
Lasallian Universities form a community of more than seventy institutions worldwide. Most of them face a common challenge: to enhance their research productivity. Thus, how can our community structure help in this endeavor? At least, three characteristics of the Lasallian community could help. Firstly, research groups in the Lasallian universities are of a multidisciplinary nature. Engineering, Healthcare, Pedagogy, Politics, Economics, Management, Agriculture, Architecture, Sciences, are some examples of fields that our Universities are researching into. The potential synergies that this plethora of fields can produce to deliver multidisciplinary research projects need no further discussion. Secondly, cross-cultural issues are one of the features of cutting-edge research. Lasallian Universities are based in three continents with strong institutions in areas as diverse as North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Within this framework, cross-cultural opportunities can only be surpassed by international organizations like the United Nations. Finally, research evaluation agencies promote international collaboration among research groups. The aforementioned geographical dispersion of Lasallian Universities provides a myriad of opportunities for research groups to collaborate with and to build international consortiums to synergize their research activity.
Evidently, the Lasallian community will provide the seed to exploit synergetic research opportunities among research groups of our Universities. However, some Lasallian researchers think that these opportunities can be enhanced by creating a shared understanding of how synergies can be developed and by working in a common proactive effort to develop tools and mechanisms to promote the emergence of collaborative research projects.
With this spirit in mind, the LSresearch&innovation event aims to create a renewed agora to build and further this debate.

"It's a challenge I've never had in my career," Hurst said. "I've been lucky enough to play next to older guys who are good and had respected reputations so I never had to worry about that. But as you get older, you get new responsibilities, so I'm looking forward to it."
Hurst, a native of Plainfield, Ind., arrived in Chapel Hill as a midyear enrollee in 2010 under former coach Butch Davis. He has started all but two games for the Tar Heels during his career and is a two-time second-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference pick.
Last year, he was part of a veteran line that helped tailback Gio Bernard run for a second straight 1,200-yard season on an offense that set UNC records for scoring and total offense.
Offensive guard Jonathan Cooper, who started alongside Hurst on the left side, was the No. 7 overall pick in the draft in April. Fellow linemen Brennan Williams (third round) and Travis Bond (seventh) were also selected, leaving Hurst and center Russell Bodine as the most experienced returnees this fall.
Hurst has been a preseason all-ACC and all-America pick by several publications, not to mention among the top line prospects for the 2014 NFL draft.
Hurst graded out around 90 percent and allowed one sack last year as the Tar Heels ran a no-huddle offense averaging nearly 75 plays per game. But offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic said he is pushing Hurst to be a more vocal leader and dominating blocker.
Kapilovic, who came with head coach Larry Fedora from Southern Mississippi before last year, called Hurst one of the smartest linemen he's ever coached.
"In most people's mind, he had a good year last year, a very good year - solid," Kapilovic said. "But in his mind and even in my mind, it needs to be better. We've talked a lot about 'What are you going to do to stand out this year?' It's not about just getting your job done. It's got to be more."
Hurst said that challenge initially made him nervous.
"It definitely wasn't comfortable for me," he said. "I started realizing these guys are gone, who's here now. It's kind of scary at first, but at the same time, you've got to do it. If I want to have a good year, then that's something I need to do and that's in my control. So I need to step up to the plate and do that."
Tim Hurst, James' father and a former offensive lineman at Alabama, said his son is ready to handle the additional responsibility. He pointed to his son's work ethic, which picked up as a high school sophomore to make him one of the nation's top prep linemen.
"The thing about James is he doesn't ever seem to get a big head about it," Tim Hurst said. "He's always been real level-headed and he's always been more concerned about the other guy than himself most of the time. I think he'll handle it all very well, very well."
The Aug. 29 opener at South Carolina will offer an immediate challenge. Hurst will likely find himself charged with blocking Associated Press first-team All-American Jadeveon Clowney.
Hurst said he's hearing plenty of questions about going against Clowney, who had 13 sacks last year and is regarded as a potential No. 1 overall NFL draft pick. He said it's "a big opportunity" and knows it could impact his draft chances.
Still, if Hurst has his way, no one will pay attention to his work during the season. Fans will be too busy watching Renner throw the ball downfield or Bernard's backfield replacement find open running lanes for big gains in a high-scoring offense.
"It's so cool to see it all click at the exact same time - five guys have great blocks and then have the running back just hit it," Hurst said. "Everyone sees him running for 70 yards. I watch the film and I see five linemen in a span of 3 yards having perfect blocks. It's awesome to me."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Dan Mullen had to be blunt about his disappointment.
His Mississippi State squad capped off its season-ending stumble with a 34-20 loss to No. 21 Northwestern in the Gator Bowl at EverBank Field on Tuesday.
MSU (8-5) started the season 7-0 but lost five of its last six, four of those to ranked teams.
"Excuse my language, but it sucks," said Mullen, who's now 2-17 against ranked foes. "Nobody likes to lose. Our kids put in, everybody puts in, a lot of working to go win football games.
"It was great to win a lot early. It sucks to lose late, to be honest with you."
Tyler Russell threw a career-worst four interceptions, and the Bulldogs saw a streak of five consecutive bowl wins stopped. As for the Wildcats (10-3), the victory snapped a nine-game bowl losing streak; their only previous postseason win was the 1949 Rose Bowl.
starting over
This was the fourth multi-interception game of Russell's career, and he finished the season with 10 picks. He had just four going into the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss in the regular-season finale.
Mullen sent Russell to the locker room in the second quarter after his third interception.
He said he told the junior, "Go into the locker room, splash some water on your face, readjust your pads and forget that you came out to start the game. Get in the tunnel, start jumping up and down again, get yourself tight and run out of the tunnel again."
It seemed to help for a while, as did a strong running game.
Tailback LaDarius Perkins had rushes of 10 and 20 yards to set up State's first touchdown – an 18-yard toss from Russell to Arceto Clark, who made a diving catch in the back of the end zone.
That cut Northwestern's lead to 13-10 with 1 minute, 6 seconds until halftime. But Russell's fourth interception would kill off MSU's last hope for a comeback.
Fast-forward to the fourth quarter, with NU leading 27-20 and MSU facing a third-and-5 from its own 15-yard line. Russell was flushed left and tossed up a prayer that was caught by Northwestern cornerback Nick VanHoose.
He returned it to the 5-yard line, and three plays later Venric Mark scored from 3 yards for a 34-20 lead with 8:10 left in the game.
Mullen said Russell's pass was a "really poor decision."
Russell finished 12 of 28 for 106 yards and two TDs and was sacked three times. He was not made available for interviews.
Backup quarterback Trevor Siemian gave a stagnant Northwestern offense a spark in the second half, leading two touchdown drives to open up a 27-13 lead in the third quarter. He passed for 73 yards on the first TD drive, including a 12-yard pass on third-and-10.
Following that conversion, Siemian completed passes of 27 and 34 yards, and then Tyris Jones scored on a 3-yard run.
"Well, they're a tempo team," Mullen said. "They ran up and made another big play, and that's kind of what they do."
Siemian capped the second TD drive with a 4-yard run with 26 seconds left in the third. The sophomore finished 12 of 20 for 120 yards and an interception.
MSU played most of the second half without All-American cornerback Johnthan Banks, who suffered a laceration on his leg during a punt return.
This is the first 10-win season for Northwestern since the 1995 Rose Bowl team. Seventh-year coach Pat Fitzgerald was a member of that team, and this victory is as special as they come.
"I'm ecstatic for everyone that's ever supported Northwestern football, and those that have been here before," said Fitzgerald, who is now the program's all-time leader in wins with 50. "It's been a long road to get the win."
Northwestern out-gained MSU in total yardage, 357-292, but the Bulldogs' 186 rushing yards were the second-most allowed by the Wildcats' defense this season. Josh Robinson had 91 yards on seven carries, while Perkins gained 84 on 19 carries.
Perkins eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season – he has 1,024 – but it was little consolation. He echoed Mullen's sentiment.
"Losing, I mean it sucks," Perkins said. "But it's happened, it's life. You've got to move on after things like that."

When I use the DriverGuide Scan I get results for drivers which are NOT for the model of computer that was scanned. Why is this?
Most drivers are not specific to a model of computer since the same devices (and chipsets) are found in multiple models by multiple manufacturers. A bluetooth driver for a Dell Inspiron may be the same as in a Toshibe Satellite. For this reason, our DriverGuide Scan doesn't focus on matching up drivers by model of computer since that's not the most relevant criteria. We focus on matching up the hardware ids coded into the actual devices, and base compatibility on that and the device manufacturer. We also use the compatibility ids (also coded into the devices) since drivers are often compatible with multiple versions and incarnations of the same device. An HP Photosmart 7550 driver works on an HP Photosmart 7100 printer as well. So, we also look at these compatibility ids and use a formula based on what Windows itself uses to determine the likelihood of compatibility. We then present you with those updates most compatible with your device.
There are some very rare cases where driver data supplied by manufacturers is wrong and this could be wrongly reported to you as an update; we collect user feedback and able to filter those out. We always recommend reasonable caution when trying out a driver (set a restore point, perhaps make a backup, know how to use safe mode, etc.). Drivers rarely cause trouble, but when they do, it can be very frustrating.
Note: This article was based on a member question, but their original question was reworded.

Interventional Radiologist
Chief, Interventional Radiology Service
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am an interventional radiologist, a physician who uses x-ray, CT, ultrasound, and MR images to perform procedures less invasively. I am Chief of the Interventional Radiology Service in the Department of Radiology and also director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's new Center for Image-Guided Intervention (CIGI). At CIGI, multiple imaging modalities and multiple disciplines will be combined to develop and apply new image-guided cancer therapies.
Interventional radiology is an increasingly common approach to treating cancer. We use images to see the tumor and the blood vessels that supply it, to help guide our minimally invasive tools to the site of the tumor, and to perform several different diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Patients who undergo interventional radiological procedures do not need a large incision; they can often be "consciously sedated" rather than undergo general anesthesia, and in many cases their procedures are less risky and their recovery times shorter than they would be with traditional surgery.
My particular area of interest is treating tumors with thermal ablation — a technique in which we use imaging to guide a needle to a target tumor and then destroy it through the application of heat (radiofrequency ablation) or extreme cold (cryoablation). I treat kidney, liver, lung, and bone cancers with these procedures. I also perform hepatic artery embolization, a technique in which we inject particles into the main blood vessel that supplies a tumor to cut off its blood supply.
Some of my current research projects involve evaluating a new ablation tool called "irreversible electroporation" (NanoKnife); using a CT-guided clinical robot to perform procedures more accurately; using PET images to monitor the health of patients who have undergone ablation; and studying ways to boost the immune system's reaction to cancer cells after tumor ablation.

This is our sixty-eighth election in this project. The entire rules follow.
This election will end at 11:59:59 PM EDT on July 29, 2011
The prior election, and the ballots of the 2002 voters, are in this thread
1) All BBF users in good standing may participate. However, if there is more than one vote being cast from any one computer or IP, it must be cleared in advance. Should there be unannounced multiple votes from the same IP, I will investigate the circumstances, and all user names involved may be barred from this project as a result, and all but one of the multiple usernames permanently banned from the site. I only anticipate exceptions for family members living in the same home, but I will entertain requests on other bases. Please note that I and the other mods who participate in the project have the capability of determining the IP from which posts come, and I for one intend to monitor same. I have had to deal with a single user manipulating a project with multiple votes, and I don't intend to repeat the experience.
2) Elections will require a 10 voter quorum. If we do not get ten voters and there are candidate(s) who would be elected no matter what the voters needed to make a quorum did, those candidate(s) will be inducted. Otherwise, no one will be inducted. Further, if we fail to elect a full complement of candidates for the ballot in question in two of any four consecutive elections, the portion(s) of the project failing to meet the election requirement will end. If, for instance, we're doing fine on the player end but not the contributor end, I would drop the contributor end under this rule.
3) We will start in 1936, just as Cooperstown did. For the first election (1936), voters will rank their top 20, taking 10. After that we will go to having voters rank their top 12 players. Points awarded 12-11-10, etc. We will take the top five through 1940, then top three players per year elected until 2010, then two per year. If a voter does not number his selections, I will try to get him/her to do so. If they do not do so before the end of the election period, I may in my sole discretion invalidate the ballot. I have included this provision in order to ease the process of recording the votes. On another point, I know, the 1936 backlog is huge--but that was a historical issue they couldn't avoid, so neither will we.
4) We will also have a contributor ballot, which will elect one a year through 1985, then one every three (3) years. Contributors will be ranked 1 through 5, with points awarded 5-4-3-2-1. Voters may choose to participate in either one of the ballots or both.
5) It is permissible to vote for a candidate on both the contributor and player lists.
6) You are allowed to change your ballot at any time the voting is open. However, if you change your ballot, you've got to notify me (jalbright) by PM or by a new post in the voting thread, or the changes likely will not be registered.
7) Players are eligible at the later of age 45 or the first year thereafter in which the player does not play. If the birthdate is not known, add five years to the first time the player misses a season and has less than 10 games the next season. There is an exception for early death, in which case the year of death plus two will be used if that yields an earlier date.
8) Contributors become eligible at age 65 or in the year of death plus two. whichever comes first.
9) Each election will run for approximately two weeks unless expressly altered by the project manager, contributors and players done simultaneously.
10) No one is excluded from being a candidate, regardless of the league they played in, except those elected in either the contributor or player ballots. At that point, they are removed from further consideration. If there are players who returned to the Negro Leagues or Japan after going to the majors, the departure from the majors will be their career end date for purposes of this project.
11) The standard for including a player on one's ballot is that the player must in the voter's opinion be among the very best eligible players (preferably the number voted on, but if a voter wishes to support someone they feel is 15th in a 12 person ballot instead of one of the top 12, it's too close for anyone to reasonably object. On the other hand, supporting the 25th best eligible candidate on a 12 person ballot is probably beyond the pale). I reserve the power to invalidate ballots which I do not feel are a reasonably knowledgeable, good faith effort to rank the players. One issue I am quite concerned about is that I do not want to see what clearly appear to be attempts to manipulate the ballot so as to elect a candidate. In isolation, I probably could live with this, but if it became a widely used tactic, the project would devolve into something I have no desire to be associated with. Moreover, I think that this position asks everyone else to cast legitimate votes so that you can manipulate the system to favor your pet candidates. I cannot accept that, as it strikes me as unfair to other voters. For example, you can't expect to favor even a legitimate HOF candidate like Bill Dahlen over Babe Ruth to get Dahlen elected without being asked to provide a reasonable justification for ranking Dahlen over Ruth. If you can provide a reasonable justification in that scenario, the ballot will stand. If not, you will be asked to make a change. I realize voters will sometimes have idiosyncratic choices, and I try to allow for that. However, a clear flouting of a consensus is apt to be met with a request that the ballot be justified pursuant to this rule. Certainly, a reasonable justification does not indicate in essence simply that you want Dahlen elected. Furthermore, if I invalidate multiple ballots by the same individual as failing to meet this rule, that individual will forever lose the right to have his/her ballots counted. Voters are encouraged to consider character, sportsmanship, and compliance with the rules and spirit of baseball in their rankings of players.
12) I will post lists of eligible players and contributors before each election. If you have a question about the eligibility of a candidate, please ask. I will provide a list of future eligibility dates as well.
13) My eligibility lists come from all persons in the BBF HOF, BBTF Hall of Merit, and Cooperstown, plus all persons getting a vote in a BBF HOF election in the past year and a half or in a BBWAA election. This is a relatively comprehensive list, and thus I must request that if you want another candidate included, you provide some justification for why said candidate is worthy of getting a vote in this project. The main area I think this might come into play is if a voter supports a person who was eligible for the final selections from the recent pre WWII or Negro League committees but not on my master list. That fact alone would serve as ample justification for putting said candidate on the list. We may learn more about Cuban ball or what have you and thus include others after a case is made for them, however. The contributor list is undoubtedly not as comprehensive, and this fact will be taken into consideration. For players, any request for a multiple time all-star in the all-star era will be approved. Players of that quality will generally be approved without much ado. However, when a player lacks that kind of qualification, I will likely ask for you to get a second from among our voters via a post in the current election thread. When in doubt, I will also require a second for suggested contributors. If a second is forthcoming, the player will be added. If not, the request will be rejected. I want to limit requests and seconds to players or contributors you actually might vote for.
14) Other than the sportsmanship and character issues, players are to be evaluated solely upon their play. I would prefer that if a player is qualified by his play standing alone that he be elected on that basis. However, a candidate may only be elected either as a contributor or a player, but not both. Contributors are the area where the entire body of work during his career in the sport, including his play, managing, scouting, executive, writing, broadcasting or other work in the sport is relevant. Contributors are to be ranked based on who the voter thinks is most worthy of induction into the Contributor group in this project.
15) Any ballot with two (2) or more spots unfilled with eligible candidates is invalid. In the event of the listing of ineligible names, I will try to notify the voter so that he/she can correct the ballot before the end of the voting period. If the change is made timely, it will count. If not, and there are two or more invalid names, the ballot will not be considered valid. If there is only one, the ineligible name will be stricken and all names after it on the affected ballot will be moved up one spot.
16) Any players listed beyond the 12th place for any ballot but the first (in which case it is 20th place) will be ignored. If more than one person is listed as tied for the last available place and the ballot is oversize, all names will be dropped, which may lead to the invalidation of the ballot.
17) Ties are not permitted in ballot listings. I reserve the right to invalidate ballots for use of ties in the rankings, be it within a single ballot or over the course of several ballots. If the voter does not correct such a listing voluntarily, except in the case of an oversize ballot tie for the last eligible place, if do not invalidate the ballot, I will choose the placement of the two "tied" candidates, generally preferring the candidate preferred by the other voters.
18) For any ties between candidates straddling the in/out line of selections, the first thing considered is the ranking of the candidates by the ballots cast. If there are more than two candidates tied, use a 2-1-0 or whatever is appropriate for the number of players tied system. If a voter does not list a candidate, he receives zero points in the tiebreaker procedure. Once one person separates from the tied group, restart with the remaining candidates until there are only as many candidates as the rules call for being elected. If they remain tied after this process, the candidate with the most votes received wins. If it is still tied after that, those with the most #1 votes as the next step, then the most #2 votes and so on to see if that breaks the tie. If not, we will induct all candidates who remain tied at that point.
19) One thing we're going to have to be aware of is the timeline in the case of at least a few contributors. Two which jump out at me are Buck O'Neill, 1976, and Branch Rickey, 1946. I intend to eventually vote for both men, but in 1946, Jackie Robinson was still in Montreal. Really, Branch should wait until at least 1947 after Jackie's success in the majors to get credit for that move. If you think Rickey belongs in the top 5 in 1946 without his role in breaking the color line, that's fine--but he shouldn't get credit for that important success until it actually happened. Buck O'Neill did some important things up until 1976, but after that he was in Ken Burns' Baseball and he was instrumental in the establishment of the Negro Leagues Hall of Fame (both occurred in or around 1994). If you think he belongs based on accomplishments before those two things, that's perfectly acceptable, but please don't credit him with them before they actually happened.
20) I will maintain a thread of the project's history and rules which will provide a listing of all elected candidates.
21) Feel free to ask questions by either sending jalbright a PM, or by posting a question in voting thread

The only outstanding voter from last election is Dogdaze, who hasn't posted at BBF since his July 3rd post in the 2002 ballot thread. Removing the three players and one contributor elected last cycle from his ballots, here's how his holdovers were ranked in 2002:
Given no new voters this cycle, Dogdaze's ballot could potentially decide both the contributor ballot and one of the player spots. Curious to see how the newcomers rank on his ballot and if he's given any thought to reordering his holdovers.Quote:

That was incredibly timely! Thanks, Dogdaze. I was really curious who the 12th player on your ballot might be. Trouppe is already garnering majority support among voters. Solid choice.
Looking ahead, it appears as though we're going to have a decent number of elections over the next several years in which no new pitching candidates will likely hold any water. That makes me wonder about the existing backlog as they will be absolutely buried once the Clemens, Johnson, Maddux, etc. glut starts.
Pitchers receiving votes in this election, listed by number of people voting for them:
7 Rick Reuschel
4 Eppa Rixey, Urban Shocker
3 Tony Mullane, Billy Pierce
2 Burleigh Grimes
1 Rollie Fingers, Lefty Gomez, Don Newcombe
Now is a good time to look at (a) how these pitchers stack up against each other and (b) if there's any eligible pitcher not presently receiving support who might be comparable or better than the cream of this crop. I'm not suggesting a certain number of pitchers is required, but it's reasonable that on a twelve-man ballot, one or two of the candidates will be a pitcher and I hope we're not just throwing names up there haphazardly. With a good four or five years before the big glut of modern shoo-ins starts hitting the ballot, now is the best time to rethink and campaign for some of these leftovers.
Food for thought on our pitching leftovers?
As noted earlier, all of last election's voters have now voted, so we have quorums on both ballots. If anyone else wants to vote, they're certainly welcome to do so.
That said, I'll post next year's new candidates. First, the players:
The top three of that group should be Henderson, Sandberg and Raines, and I'd expect them to sweep the three spots next available next election. The contributors add:Code:
Baines , Harold
Bell , George
Eisenreich , Jim
Gullickson , Bill
Henderson , Rickey
Kile , Darryl
Phillips , Tony
Raines , Tim
Sandberg , Ryne
Bouton , Jim
Caray , Skip
I liken Rixey to several pitchers who have already been elected (Don Sutton, Red Faber, Red Ruffing). It's fair to put him at the bottom of that list. That said, behind Rixey are a couple more workhorse pitchers I'm seriously looking at: Tommy John and Jack Quinn. Then we've got pitchers like Jim Kaat, Dick Redding and Burleigh Grimes bringing up the rear.
My next 5 pitchers:
1. Rick Reuschel--3548.1 IP with a 114 ERA+, 3 AS, 1 GG, an excellent pitcher despite bad teams with the Cubs. Some flashes of brilliance late in his career with the Pirates and Giants.
2. Urban Shocker--Short career (13 seasons, 2681 IP) but superb peak, 146 gray ink, 124 career ERA+
3. Jack Quinn--3920.1 IP with a 114 ERA+, long career, effective for many years, 8 seasons 3.0 WAR or better, 138 gray ink
4. Burleigh Grimes--WAR sells him short; very effective in his era. 4180.0 IP, 108 ERA+, 38 black ink, 213 gray ink.
5. Eppa Rixey--4494.2 IP, 115 ERA+, not quite as effective in his era as Grimes, but still solid with 172 Gray ink.
I am firm in both Reuschel and Shocker. I'm not as much so on Quinn, Grimes and Rixey and doubt any of them will make it onto my ballot in this project.
My top ten currently eligible starting pitchers look something like this:
1. Rick Reuschel
2. Billy Pierce
3. Tony Mullane
4. Tommy John
5. Urban Shocker
6. Eppa Rixey
7. Dave Stieb
8. Vic Willis
9. Don Newcombe
10. Eddie Cicotte
Newcomers for next year:
1. Rickey Henderson
2. Tim Raines
3. Ryne Sandberg
4...12. holdovers

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Bob Pink
Old Town 138T http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/loon138t.html
Space, both cockpit and storage (wet storage)
Tandem with sliding front seat for solo paddleing so it's a good family craft
Durable, nothing fancy to worry abotu getting knocked around.
Stable, I can get in and out in 2 - 3 ft of water without tipping pretty easily
Weight, tough to drag across long beach stretches. Very awkward to carry single handled for any distance.
Tracking: Might eb a function of the front seat position but it points up into the wind if it's blowing. You'll find yourself fighting to keep on course. Not a problem with two aboard.
Transportation: the tandem means it's longer than a solo. Might not fit safely in the back of the pickup without using a rack. (You're welcome to try it out )
I'm not mentioning what I have as I bought it primarily as a recreational double for the kids, and only secondarily for me (at least that was the official party line...).
Detour past the canoe/yak rental place at Rt. 30 and 128 some night on your way home- they've got a good selection to try out- and a killer end of the year sale if you can wait a few months.
Juro, I have fished out of my Necky Looksha IV and it is a poor fishing craft. But I don't think that I would enjoy paddling some of those fishing tubs out there. I think that when I get another yak, it will be either the Wilderness "Freedom" or the Heritage "Fisherman". Both of these look like a better combination of performance and fishing.
Here are some thoughts: Most of my fishing spots are not so close to the put in, and I like to explore. A faster boat = more fishing time.
Sit on top vs. Sit in side. Can most people roll their Kyaks? So you might be swimming any way. If it is cold you'd better be in a wet suit. SOTs are easier to get in and self bailing to boot. If it is warm, you'll apreciate the open deck.
Juro -
I bought Art's Necky "Gannet". 11'0", cockpit is pretty good for a big guy, yet not as big as the Wilderness Pungo or several others. I've used it; I haven't challenged wild surf with it, yet it seems to do what I want in most conditions. I might be a little heavy for it at just over two hundred pounds,and I haven't loaded gear into it for effect. I'm comfortable in it for calmer conditions; I would trust it to get me back to the beach if it got rough.
As I've looked at others, I've arrived at a cross in the road for the next one (there will be another very soon) in that I like the (Wilderness) Pungo, but I like the (Necky) Santa Cruz or (Old Town) Nantucket, Castine or Loon 138, in that order, more. I suppose I'd be more inclined to pursue salt in any of them. I saw John's Tribalance - I liked it for it's design and the outrigging part, but I don't know about sitontops for me. In any event, I'm not sure what the next one will be regardless of the mantra, Pungo, Pungo, Pungo.
Large cockpit for this large angler.
excellent secondary stability.
Gets from point A - B with a minimum of effort while providing a stable platform, although I'm not up to standing in it.
There is a trade off between speed and stability and I think the Pungo makes a nice compromise between the two.
Other considerations:
A spray skirt is a necessary safety feature for this large cockpit design and it works great as a stripping basket and zips part way open so you can still access your gear.
Don't overlook the importance of paddle selection. I you were to buy a skiff I'm sure the motor would be something you'd research. In a kayak you and your paddle are the motor. The composite or straight carbon fiber types are nice because they are lightweight. You wouldn't think a few ounces would matter but weight, length, blade profile, and adjustable feathering are very important things to consider in a paddle. I personally like a slight oval shaped handle because I can tell where the blade is pointing by feel and I think it fits in the hand better.
I'm not using mine Saturday (tomorrow) maybe not Sunday either, so give me a call if your interested in taking off my hands for a day or two.
I've got an Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro TW. It's a sit-on top, so I only use it from May to Sept. I like the sit on top b/c I am higher on the water for easier casting. It's not quite as stable as the Pungo, but WAY easier to paddle. It's still really stable, I just wouldn't stand in it. Speed and stability are always a trade-off. I mounted a rod holder between my feet, and the storage is huge. I have an open well on the back that'll easily hold a good sized cooler (for fish fillets), and the bow has dry storage that holds:
a spare paddle, a spinning rod in case it gets windy, my tackle bag, a cooler with lunch and water, waders, wading boots and a wind breaker...with plenty of room to spare.
It's a wet ride, but all kayaks are. The extra speed makes a huge difference when you see fish breaking, or you are on the way home from a long day.
Juro -
After years of being blown around in a canoe, I finally broke down and bought a yak. I did a fair bit of research (and paddling) before doing the obvious and getting a Pungo. Tracks well, good secondary stability when you're leaning over the gunwales lipping a fish, lots of space, etc., etc. The bigger opening makes for easy in and outs when you want to wade.
One other thought is Chesapeake Light Craft, (http://www.clcboats.com/) especially the Mill Creek. Neat kits if you're inclined to put together your own wooden boat. Count me in for any of your north shore expeditions.
I picked up a Pungo last month. For fishing purposes I was primarily interested in a stable plastic tub to get from point A to point B. Opted for the Pungo based on stuff I've read on the boards and the fact that it looked like I might fit in it. Also, a knowledgble co-worker bought two, just based on the hull design and what he had read. He was looking for recreational kayaks for he and his wife to explore Cape estuaries in. That kinda sold me.

I have an old, 10-12 foot white water kayak. This is not the craft that you want in the salt, although it does handle the surf pretty well. The problem with this yak is that it tracks very poorly in the water (smooth bottom, no rudder). I imagine that you will be doing more traveling in your yak than fishing from it. If this is true, then you want a yak that is easy to get around in while in the salt.
The other issue, small cockpit boats really are a pain to get into even in 8 inches of water (say a submerged sandbar on a rising tide). You can use your paddle to keep from flipping over as you wriggle into the boat but it can be a hassle, especially with some surf crashing in on you as you struggle to get in the boat.
Also, get bladders for the inside of the yak. If you ever do flip it over in deep water then they will be a life saver in terms of getting the yak upright and emptied again. Getting back into the boat...you are screwed if you have a very tight cockpit like I do.
If you do need any kayak advice/supplies then you might want to consider Kittery Trading Post if you are in the area. They have a lot of kayaks and kayaking gear there.
Hope that helps.
|Santa Cruz by Necky. The reason I chose this boat is that it has a large cockpit and has excellent primary and secondary stability which is very important in a yak. I errored on the side of safety. I wanted a boat that could handel rough conditions if they should occur. It also has a sealed rear hatch*and deck rigging . Many people choose a yak that has good primary stability but poor secondary stability which is a mistake. I got advise from experienced sea kayakers not fishermen. Talk to fishermen and they will tell you Pungo. Try before you buy. Yaks are like fishing rods there is one to suit different tastes. FishHawk
Thanks Art. I am not planning on selling my raft to get a yak. I am trying to finance it without selling the river craft I have come to enjoy. You should have seen it out west!
I am like you, I like the stability as an option. But I also need something to buck the current once in a while, and my raft can't take a motor like yours. The raft is meant for safe passage down a whitewater river, and that it does really well. It can't row upcurrent worth diddley.
Here's what mine looks like...
|Juro, You know I sold mine. I want something that I can use outside the surfline, and go in and out thru the surf. They also sit to low in the water, I want something that I can stand in. I have found it, but I haven't used it in the surf yet. Maybe this coming week. There is a place at Charlestown Beach Road, that rents yaks of different manufacturers, if you are bent in getting one. Remember I am in a new ballgame, as far as coastal flyfishing gos, stay tunned.
Yak census
If you have a yak and use it in salt, could you please give me some feedback on what brand, type and why you like it so much?
Nick -
You have already explained the ups and downs, I did not forget. Thanks for that explanation.
John -
The tri-balance impressed me for it's innovative design and stability.
Roop -
Thanks for letting me in on your research.
It appears I might be able to work out something with the sale of a 3hp SW-sealed minnkota trolling motor I have that would put me in the ball park.
I am also interested in who has one, so if you just want to let me know the minimum ("yep- pungo") that's says something in and of itself.
Thanks in advance.

On trip to India, students explore religious pluralism
Posted July 22, 2009; 03:44 p.m.
Princeton student Jahnabi Barooah has lived in India all her life, but a trip there this summer to explore interreligious understanding with 21 fellow students allowed her to see her country in a new way.
"I knew that traveling to India with a multifaith group with a specific goal of understanding religious pluralism would enable me to understand India differently," said Barooah, a member of the class of 2011. More than the temples and mosques she saw, it was the discussions with her travel companions, she said, that helped "me to view India and specifically Indian customs and culture in a new light."
Barooah and the other students are members of Princeton's Religious Life Council, a fellowship of undergraduates of various religions who are committed to fostering conversation among members of all religious faiths at Princeton and beyond. Led by Paul Raushenbush, associate dean of religious life, the group spent eight days visiting ancient and current religious sites in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and discussing religious pluralism.
The goal of the trip was to "to look at how religious pluralism and interreligious engagement happens in India and how higher education can be a locus of sustained interfaith dialogue and understanding," Raushenbush said.
The 22 students have a host of religious and geographic backgrounds. Among the group were students from Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Israel and South Africa. Six different religions — and several branches of each religion — were represented. There were Buddhists; Christians from the Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant branches; Hindus; Jews from Conservative, Orthodox and Reform backgrounds; Muslims from the Shia and Sunni faiths; and a Jain student. Some of the participants were atheists. Their academic interests also vary widely. There were students majoring in comparative literature, math, philosophy, political science, religion and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
After the trip, several of the participants traveled to Dharamsala and met with the Dalai Lama (center), the head of the Tibetan Buddhists.

The trip included an elephant ride up to the 16th-century Amber Fort in Jaipur; a visit to Delhi's Qutab Minar, the largest brick minaret in the world; and an excursion to the Taj Mahal. Over four days in Delhi, the students went to a cathedral, a mosque, and temples devoted to the Baha'i, Hindu, Jain and Sikh faiths. They also celebrated the Jewish Shabbat.
Visiting so many sites of religious observance prompted lively discussion among the students. And the students, as members of the Religious Life Council, "were newly awakened to the realization that our mission as ambassadors (of interreligious exploration) extends beyond India back to Princeton itself and beyond," according to Rachel Dunn, a member of the class of 2010 who wrote a blog about the trip.

The students also met with Abdul Kalam, the former president of India, with whom they discussed approaches to eradicating conflict among members of different religions. "I was most intrigued by former President Kalam's three-part strategy for erasing faith-based conflict: 1) material progress; 2) character education, particularly in primary schools; and 3) turning religion into spirituality," said Rahul Subramaniam, a member of the class of 2011.
On a trip to Raj Ghat, the memorial for spiritual leader Mohandas Gandhi, the group held a peace meditation and sang the Indian national anthem. For Emmett Buckley, a member of the class of 2011, the visit was a high point of the trip. "I've seen a quote attributed to Gandhi in which he said, 'Let us work together for unity and love,'" Buckley said. "That could be the mission statement for any interfaith group, so being at his memorial with the Religious Life Council was very special."
After the trip's conclusion, five students, accompanied by Raushenbush, traveled to Dharamsala, the home of the Dalai Lama, the head of the Tibetan Buddhists. The group unexpectedly was given an audience with the Dalai Lama, spending more than an hour talking to him about interreligious engagement.
Visiting holy sites for so many different religions "inspired an incredible range of thoughts and perspectives" for the students, Raushenbush said.
For Avital Hazony, a member of the class of 2012, the trip provoked engaging debates with her fellow students on a variety of topics, such as the question of whether all religions are striving for the same goals or whether there are fundamental differences among them. The trip was "a journey of questioning and soul-searching," she said.
The India trip, which was supported by Indian businessman and philanthropist Vinay Rai, is part of efforts by the Office of Religious Life to expose Princeton students to global perspectives. In late August another group of 20 students will visit Venezuela and Bolivia with Alison Boden, dean of religious life and the chapel, and Deborah Blanks, associate dean of religious life, to study religion, human rights and social change. They will meet with religious leaders, government officials and community-based groups, among others.
"We look forward to getting as detailed an understanding as possible of the variety of opinions in each country on rights and social change, on the role of religious communities and of perceptions of American foreign policy," Boden said.
The Princeton contingent also traveled to the 13th-century Qutb Minar complex in Delhi. (Photo: Shivani Radhakrishnan)
