|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Doc Depending on what type of fishing you are doing there are many choices.
I had a Pungo to start with now I have 2 Tarpons.One for me the other for the wife and yakless friends.
The SOT models are much easier to get in and out.Great for wading flats and such.
Right now I think that the Tarpon is one of the best yaks out there.When someone shows me a better one I will buy it.
Cobra Kayak has a bunch of light weight SOTs also.They are very popular down in NY/NJ.
Everybody says SOTs are cold but you should be dressed to get wet anyway in case you go in.Do your homework and check out a bunch of yaks and talk to the guys who use them.
I have over 300 hrs of yak fishing time this year.Fish with alot of hardcore yakkers .Most of them think the Tarpon is right there with the best of them.
Downside is the weight 65 pds.But you do get more speed and storage than the smaller yaks.
WS is coming out with a 12 foot Tarpon this year.They also have the Ride wich one of my buddies was really impressed with.He was standing on it on some flats down in Florida while fishing with Ken Daubert.
Any thats my $ .02 Check otu try them out and talk to the guys who use them.

Advice on new 'yaks
OK, I have my eyes firmly closed and am awaiting the aforementioned large boot...
Seriously, the more I look and listen, the more opportunities there are both here in the Scituate area, on the Cape and in RI, as well as home in the depths of NJ for kayak attacks on the finned friends. Gotta bite the bullet!
If you are thinking of thinning the herd, I'd appreciate it if you would keep me in mind. I could see my way to a well trained Pungo, if that works out. I can be up on a weekend to make pickup and deliver appropriate tributes.
Very best regards, and hope we fish together again sometime...
Don't look down!...Step back in from the ledge!
It's not the fall that kills you but the sudden stop when you run outa' vertical space...
Now is a good time to check out season end specials...
There seems to be what looks like a marine assault unit on my horizon...12 o'clock and closing!
With that in mind, I'm thinkin' about thinning out the BlkOps inventory and I suspect a Pongo and/or a Manteo may be available in short order...more news to follow...
When you take a running start, it's hard to freeze at the door...
but if you do, there are large boots at the ready to propel you on your way...
|Doc Duprey
Advice on a new yak
OK, here goes...
Taking the plunge on a new 'yak and just got a shot at a year old Pamlico Excel. Any thoughts/comments/advice? This newbie will be most appreciative.
Best regards,
P.S. Pete, if this really is like your first HALO, talk me out of it, please, 'cause I don't think I'll be smart enough to freeze in the door.
P.P.S.: Why do people jump out of perfectly good aircraft, anyway?

Dr Syed Shams Yazdani is head of Synthetic Biology and Biofuel Group at the ICGEB
The International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) is a global organization dedicated to advanced research and training in molecular biology and biotechnology, with special regard to the needs of the developing world. The ICGEB boasts of 85 signatory countries, including 61 member states, 40 affiliated centers, spread across three host countries (located in Cape Town, South Africa; Trieste, Italy; and New Delhi India). Scientists at the synthetic biology and biofuel group, at the center are conducting ground breaking work in bio-energy research in an independent and collaborative manner. The group is performing cutting-edge research in the field of bioenergy using genomics, metagenomics, synthetic biology and systems biology approaches.
Dr Syed Shams Yazdani has been heading the synthetic biology and biofuel group at the ICGEB since 2011. Dr Yazdani, who previously worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University, Houston, US, speaks to BioSpectrum, regarding the various innovative projects that his group has ventured into to develop second generation biofuels.
Could you kindly shed some light on the research that you are conducting at the Synthetic Biology and Biofuel Group at the ICGEB? What are the various projects that you are working on?
Dr Yazdani: Our research utilizes combination of genomics, metagenomics, synthetic and systems biology approaches. Using these tools, we focus on three major research areas: screening, identification and design of novel cellulolytic enzymes, engineering microbe for production of bioethanol from cellulosic biomass using consolidated processing approach, and engineering microbe for production of biofuels of longer carbon chain length. We have established the capabilities to screen cellulolytic microbes in high throughput manner and identified several novel enzymes that would ease in the degradation of cellulolytic biomass. We select the promising ones and perform thorough genetic and biochemical characterization to understand its functional mechanism and to further improve its functional characteristics. We express these enzymes in high quantities in heterologous host and construct bifunctional hybrid enzymes to reduce the production cost further.
Expressing cocktail of cellulolytic enzymes in heterologous host also gives us the opportunity to save cost for production of cellulosic ethanol by expressing these enzymes in ethanologenic microbes, which can then directly convert cellulose to ethanol, bypassing the expensive enzyme hydrolysis step, via an approach known as consolidated bioprocess (CBP). We have already succeeded in metabolically engineer a bacterium to produce high yield of ethanol from C5 and C6 sugars through rearrangement of its endogenous pathway and we are now in the process of demonstrating its potential for use in CBP.

Kent put together a massive six-game block of 1,480, an average of 246.6, on Monday to kick off the tournament and followed it with 1,210 Tuesday for a 12-game total of 2,690. He will conclude qualifying Wednesday at Woodland Bowl.More than 1,500 of the top youth bowlers in the nation began their quest for $125,000 in scholarships Monday as qualifying at the Junior Gold Championships got underway at Woodland Bowl, Western Bowl and Expo Bowl.Kent is well-known as the son of former Professional Bowlers Association touring star Doug Kent but Jacob is striving to establish his own identity as a bowler."I feel like the way I have bowled the past couple years is starting to build up a name for myself," said Kent, who competed at the 2010 USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships in May. "I'm still known as Doug Kent's kid, and when I go to tournaments I have to live up to the Kent name. But I feel like I'm starting to make a name for myself now."When he bolted to the top of the leaderboard after the first round of qualifying this week at Junior Gold, Kent's score turned heads. He had games of 196, 264, 258, 248, 234 and 280 at Expo Bowl."It was an incredible day because I just got in a zone and kept repeating shots," Kent said. "After awhile, I wasn't paying attention to my score at all and I looked up and saw I had six in a row during the 280 game. When I looked around at everyone else's scores and saw I was that far ahead, I was astounded. It was just a perfect day. I couldn't have asked for more."Although his scores weren't quite as spectacular in the second round Tuesday at Western Bowl, Kent was pleased with the block he put together, finishing with games of 222, 189, 225, 194, 181 and 199."I struggled a bit today because the lanes were a little tougher than I expected," Kent said. "I didn't throw it as good today as I did Monday, but I still threw it decent. I still feel confident with how I'm throwing it. All my hard work is paying off. This year I match up to the patterns better than I have in the past."
Qualifying continues through Wednesday. At the end of the 18 games, the field will be cut to the top 150 males and top 78 females (all ties advance) for the semifinals. Semifinals competition, which consists of two six-game blocks, will be Thursday. The top 16 males and top 16 females will earn spots in the match-play finals, which will take place Friday and consist of 16 games of match play.USBC plans to provide live video coverage on BOWL.com of the semifinals and the match-play finals. Coverage will begin at 9 a.m. (EST) each day.In addition, the players are competing for spots on Junior Team USA. The top four male and top four female finishers after match-play competition will automatically qualify for Junior Team USA 2011, and the National Selection Committee will award four at-large spots - two male, two female - from the pool of athletes that make match-play finals.

Businesses for, panhandlers against new ordinance
SPOKANE, Wash. - Later this month the Spokane city council will consider a long-awaited panhandling ordinance which would make it illegal to solicit donations along arterial streets and freeway off-ramps.
The proposed vehicular interference ordinance is designed to keep people stepping out into the roadway or interfering with traffic, but it will also likely dry up the flow of fast and easy cash for transients.
This summer, Spokane's panhandling problem reached an all time high with beggars migrating far from their traditional spots at freeway off-ramps. Christy McHatton of Moxie Salon and Spa watches the same people work the same corner every day.
"We've had urination in our parking lot, public nudity. We've had some that were on drugs come in and disturb our clients," she said.panhandler ordinance
The salon staff has tried new signage to keep the panhandlers away but still have to pick up their empty beer cans in the parking lot.
That's why city councilman Mike Allen has spent the past four months drafting a new panhandling ordinance. He thinks the curbside begging is bad for current and future business.
"They go where the traffic is and where they have the highest opportunity to make revenue and that happens to be our gateways as they come off the interstate," Allen said.
The ordinance makes it illegal for anyone to reach beyond the curb with their hand or even a stick to solicit anything. Violators face a misdemeanor ticket.
"There's an invisible plane that comes up from the sidewalk and if they engage and come over that plane that is an infraction," Allen said.
Allen Bercier is a regular at 3rd and Division. He said the money he makes there supplements his disability income and is obviously opposed to new restrictions on panhandling.
"It will affect me a lot because I won't be able to afford my bills, my rent," he said.
Bercier thinks a lot of Spokane's generous donations go toward feeding bad habits, something that the staffers at Moxie agree on.
"I'm not going to give them my money when I see them out there daily and they walk by drunk, I'm not giving them my money," McHatton said.
This ordinance would also outlaw fund raisers, like the fire department's "Fill The Boot" campaign for Muscular Dystrophy, and so by design the ordinance would not take effect until after September 15.

The New York Times
By: Editorial
February 24, 2013
A year ago, when the nation's biggest banks settled with state and federal officials over claims of foreclosure abuses, the public was led to believe that the deal would allow millions of hard-pressed borrowers to escape the threat of foreclosure. It still hasn't happened.
A third progress report was issued last Thursday by the monitor of the settlement, which, among its terms, required the banks to grant $25 billion worth of mortgage relief, much of it by reducing the principal balances on troubled loans. The report showed that through the end of 2012, 71,000 borrowers had their primary mortgages modified, versus 170,000 who received help on their second mortgages, including home equity loans.
Both types of assistance can help struggling borrowers -- to a point. But as Jessica Silver-Greenberg reported in The Times, housing advocates say that in many cases, banks are not helping with troubled primary mortgages, which often leaves the homeowners facing foreclosure. Instead, the banks are forgiving the second mortgages, which allows them to say that they have met their obligations under the settlement.
In other words, banks are structuring the debt relief in ways designed to tidy up their balance sheets, rather than to keep as many people from losing their homes as possible. Banks often do not own the primary mortgages; they only service them for investors who own them. But they do often hold second liens on their books. In general, the holder of a second lien gets nothing when a home is worth less than the mortgage balance or is sold in foreclosure. But by forgiving the second liens, the bank at least gets credit for "helping" the borrower.
In the report, the settlement monitor, Joseph Smith, said the banks still had much work to do on the borrowers' behalf. We'll believe it when we see it.

New dorm to honor Hargadon
Posted July 20, 2004; 10:08 a.m.
Whitman College, which is being built to become Princeton's sixth residential college, will include a new dormitory named after Fred A. Hargadon, the former dean of admission who served the University from 1988 through 2003. Hargadon Hall is being made possible by a gift from a group of three current and former University trustees.
"This is a wonderful gift," Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman said, noting her sincere thanks to the donors, whose wish to remain anonymous is being honored by the University. "It not only provides one of the dormitories for Whitman College but it also recognizes the critical role that admission deans play in shaping Princeton's future and specifically Fred Hargadon's extraordinary capacities to identify exceptional students, attract them to Princeton and retain a lifelong interest in their achievements."
Hargadon, who spent more than 35 years in the field of college admissions, retired from Princeton last July. The admission office processed an estimated 208,000 applications and admitted about 17,000 students during his tenure. "Dean Fred," as students called him, was famous on campus for his signature acceptance letters, which began with a simple but emphatic: "YES!"
"It's difficult to capture in words how very grateful I am to the alumni who so generously made this gift in my honor," Hargadon said. "Whitman College will enhance the lives, both socially and academically, of many future generations of Princeton students. It not only promises to bring a valuable, new dimension to residential options for students but it will add an outstanding piece of architecture to the campus."
A graduate of Haverford College, Hargadon began his career in admissions in 1964 as dean of admissions at Swarthmore College. He served in the same capacity at Stanford University from 1969 to 1984, then moved to the post of senior vice president of the college board before joining Princeton in 1988.
Whitman College will enable the University to increase undergraduate enrollment by about 500 students. Designed in the collegiate gothic style of many beloved campus buildings, the college is also the cornerstone of an effort to expand options in undergraduate residential life: Whitman will be the first Princeton residence intentionally built to house students from all four classes -- freshman to senior year. The project was launched with a $30 million gift from eBay Inc. president and chief executive officer Meg Whitman, a member of the class of 1977, and her family. Construction is expected to be completed in 2007.

I have a bit of unusual question this time.
Do you know of any old style turn-by-turn strategy game for Android?
I was a huge fan of "Master of Orion 2". Kind of civilizations in space, and I recently got a craving for it again.
but since my primary computer has been an Asus transformer for the past 9 months, I was hoping you knew of something similar.
Also, what do you think of the vergecast doing listener call-ins?
They do some decent blogging, but I'm not sure they should interact with humans.
Their heads, in my opinion, are just too big for that kind of thing…
Keep up the good work.

Be Thankful for Homesense
Moving to Toronto turned me into a "house" person. I still don't watch home improvement and design shows, no, but I spend a lot more time thinking about "dressing" my kitchen, or my basement, or my bedroom, than I ever have before. Right now we don't have a dining room. We also realised this weekend, while hosting both our parents for Thanksgiving dinner, that we don't have serving spoons, you know, like to scoop potatoes or tongs to serve salad. We only recently discovered how great it is to have a bread board. Look at it. I'm weirdly obsessed with it. Isn't that a beautiful bread board?
My first bread board is from Homesense. Jacek and I go every weekend because they bring in new items all the time and he's all in a hurry to get everything we need all-at-once-right-now-rush-rush-rush and I'm kinda like, let me take my sweet time and wait it out, like I'd wait out the perfect pair of white pumps which, it's been over a year and I still can't find them. I feel like this is what you do when you're kitting out your home though. It's long term prospecting. Or sometimes, you fall in love with something that you didn't know you needed but you know you have to take it with you.
Like this adorable stool. Up close it looks weathered, like it's survived it's time, an old nanny that has raised a few families. I'm short so it's helping me reach all corners in the kitchen already, and so much cuter than a plastic generic one, right? It was the only elephant there and since Homesense doesn't overstock and because they're always bringing in new items, I feel like my elephant stool (ha!) and I were destined for each other.
Check out these great hooks we just put up by the front door. Jacek and I have very different taste. He'd previously brought home a few that were heinous. I keep telling him he has the eye of a 20 year old frat house college kid. Our entire kitchen is actually kinda collegey though. We have hand-me-down pots and pans and cutlery and nothing grown-up to put food on.
So for Thanksgiving I picked up a bowl and a platter. Did I do ok? When I come home and see this on the counter, filled with fruit, it makes me happy.
We're giving away two (2) Homesense gift cards for you to have your own shopping spree. Each card is valued at $400 CAD and two (2) winners will be picked. To enter, we would typically have you email an entry and run a random draw. But in the spirit of (Canadian) Thanksgiving that just passed, we're going to do this one a little differently: We'd like to hear about who you are thankful for, and the winner(s) will be the person making the submission and the person about whom the submission is written. The only catch is that both you and the person you're nominating need to be in Canada as the cards are only valid north of the border.
If you'd like a chance to win, email [email protected] with "HomeSense" as the title before EOD PT on Monday (October 21, 2013), and in a short paragraph (50-200 words) please tell us who you think deserves the gift card and why. We'll pull aside our favourite submissions and draw from the ones we select. The winner's email will be featured in an upcoming Smutty Shout-Out and both the submit-er and submit-ee get $400 each to spend at a local Homesense. Thanks and submit away!

Any good suggestions with retriever website development? I'm wanting to create a website for my retrievers and their accomplishments
Any good suggestions with retriever website development? I'm wanting to create a website for my retrievers and their accomplishments
So, what do you want the site to be for? Do you want it to be a commercial site, advertising your kennel or services? Or just a brag site, so friends and family can keep track of where you are all the time ?
The options that are out there are different, depending on what you expect from the site. If you're just building something to record what your dogs have done, there are a lot of free website software sites.
If you're looking to build a site that you want to be found by people searching for retriever breeders or trainers, that's a different beast with a lot more bells and whistles required.
Ron Rhodes
A Lab has no appreciation for the artistic value of a bonsai tree, but does appreciate their potential as chew toys.
It would be a combo of the two: a brag site as well as to advertise an occasional litter and to advertise stud services from a really nice looking, well-bred chocolate that is 9-9 in Finished hunt tests, 6-6 in Master hunt tests and won qualifying event at 2 years old.

I think you can even do free ones that would be like "mylabs.wordpress.com". I use hostgator as a host and I think that I paid for three years and it ended up costing like $3.95/month for the hosting.

The number of injury compensation claims accepted from netball players has increased sharply, far outstripping the rise in the number of people playing the sport.
The Weekend Herald sought ACC figures after allegations of elite Australian netballers' "thuggery" resurfaced when Queensland Firebirds defender Laura Geitz elbowed Central Pulse player Donna Wilkins in the back this month.
Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic shooter Irene van Dyk later inflamed the transtasman row by claiming that West Coast Fever defenders played "dirty" and "got away with murder".
The ACC figures show netball claims rose even when the number of players dropped in 2009 and 2010.
Most of the ACC claims - 87 per cent last year and 85 per cent in 2008 - were for sprains, strains and other soft-tissue injuries. Eight per cent were for fractures or dislocations last year, down from 9 per cent in 2008.
Netball New Zealand operations manager Kate Agnew said netball was "not a non-contact sport" and she did "not necessarily think that netball across the board is getting more physical".
"In the ANZ Championship, the elite level, the players are pushing themselves more, they're better prepared, they're stronger, fitter, faster, they can jump higher, they are in the air longer."
The ACC statistics did not necessarily show that the game had become more aggressive, Ms Agnew said.
She pointed to the reduction in the cost of claims, to $15.12 million last year from $17.37 million in 2008.
Ms Agnew said the reducing costs indicated the netball injury prevention programme run with ACC was paying dividends.
Netball injuries 2008-2012
ACC claims accepted: Up 22 per cent
(from 21,504 to 26,321)
Numbers playing: Up 4 per cent
(from 138,510 to 144,040)

Recognition of Outstanding Service
In light of today's tragic events this may seem rather unimportant, but I still feel compelled to express my feelings on a lighter note.
Too often people complain about lack of customer service in todays society and too few times do people express thanks or spread the word about excellent customer care. I would like to be included in the latter.
This is my first season flyfishing. For my birthday on August 25th, my wife purchased directly from Abel a Wet/Dry Bag as well as a Perfect Tool. To my surprise, the knife blade seemed unusually dull and useless. Although I had written the company an email and had not heard from them after a week, in short time I received an invoice in the amount of $0.00. The following day I received a wonderful note card from Dan Anthon, Factory Sales Representative, wishing me a "Happy Birthday", an apology for a less than perfect Perfect Tool, along with a replacement with a very sharp blade. I now have the "perfect" Perfect Tool.
My wife was impressed with their assistance when placing the order, and I am equally impressed with their customer care. I wish all companies could learn from their actions. "Real" customer service is a rare commodity. Fortunately, Abel has learned one of the key secrets to business success and deserves recognition for their outstanding customer service.
A satisfied customer!

Thanks to David McCusker for carte blanche to beat him up. As he no doubt knows, it's not exactly my style, though.
Of course it's not useful to decide whether something is "necessary" on the basis of computational equivalence. S and K are necessary, the rest is a matter of notational convenience. (I is for weenies).
So let me try to state the question in more precise terms:
Is it possible to use a much simpler technique to accomplish nearly the same results, nearly as well?
Applied to the Mithril and SEDA/Java runtimes, the answer depends on how you count. The Java runtime is a horrifically complex beast. If you included it, then I would agree that Mithril is much simpler. But it's also more or less a solved problem (less, admittedly, if you restrict yourself to free software). If you count only the SEDA part, it's quite a bit simpler, because you have the GC daddy taking care of cleaning up all the memory.
I'm not arguing one way or another as to whether you should include the Java runtime. I think it's a good question.
The food chain
Now for some more general musings. The above emphasizes that software systems today are not isolated artifacts, but exist as part of a larger network. Dan Sugalski uses the term "food chain" to refer to this network in a recent interview. Coincidentally, Barabasi in his book "Linked" finds that food chain networks and the Web have similar scale-free topology.
Like the food chain, the software project network has one-way links. Mozilla depends on C++, but C++ does not depend on Mozilla. (Of course, as in real food chains, all kinds of complex interactions can occur once you start looking at second-order effects). I think it's worth looking at the properties of these links in more detail. What follows is a rough cut. I'm sure I didn't think of everything.
In an "A depends on B" relationship, B is always more focussed on performance, robustness, and stability than A. If B is lacking in any of these, then the combined A+B system is also. (Fault tolerance would seem to be the exception that proves the rule.) At the lower levels of the food chain, you see an almost fanatical attention to these issues. CPU's come to mind, especially. The price of a 2.53GHz Pentium 4 is currently more than double that of a 2.2GHz one, for a 15% speed improvement at best. Yet, for many applications, performance is measured in terms of order of magnitude.
Compilers, runtimes, and OS kernels all similarly have an intense focus on performance and stability. Of course, the need for these things varies. Windows 98 is woefully inadequate to run, say, an Oracle database, yet is considered a perfectly fine platform for gaming.
The higher levels of the food chain start to be concerned with user needs, which are famously complex. If you had to meet these needs and optimize performance to the bone, the problem becomes intractable. That's why the food chain exists. Filesystems are a lot closer to user needs than raw disk. Thus, applications rely on the filesystem to map performance and robustness reasonably well, and save a huge amount of complexity. Once this relationship is established, then quantitative work at the lower level (improving caching algorithms, say) has a positive effect on the entire system. Note, however, the downward pressure when the next level up is a database.
Just as the food chain is critical for the health of an ecosystem, I believe the software project network is critical for the health of a software community. We are blessed with many good things at the lower levels: the Linux kernel, gcc, etc. They're not perfect, of course, but they don't prevent you from doing good work at the higher levels either.
A good example of dysfunction, I think, is X during the late '80s and early-to-mid '90s. Here, the lowest level (the X protocol and Xlib) was reasonably good, but the next levels up (Xt and Motif) were awful. As a result, X failed to get attention at the lower levels too, and lots of things that should have happened didn't (better font handling, more advanced imaging model). Now, there are numerous healthy projects situated at the next level up from X (Gtk+ and Qt are the most popular), and we see X getting good quantitative improvement now too.
Now I'll make some people mad. In language communities, these relationships are especially important. Everything written in a language depends critically on the performance and stability of that languages's implementation. Thus, there is an important role for a project to do hardcore quantitative performance work, combined with a process that ensures stability. If that role isn't strongly filled, I think the language community is in trouble. And here is what I see: in Python, this role isn't really being filled, but in Perl 6 it looks like it will be, by Parrot, the subject of the Sugalski interview above.
That said, the dependence on the language implementation for performance may not be as critical in the Python community as it is in others, because the CPython+C amalgam is a reasonable approach in many cases. But if Perl 6 and Parrot succeed, it will be appealing to write high performance systems entirely in the high level language. And there are some things happening in Python performance land as well.
Food for thought, in any case.

Unfortunately, the majority of patients don't tolerate butter well either. Is it because of the small amounts of protein remaining, or due to the toxins and hormones found in the fat? Likely a bit of both. But for those who do and who only consume the organic variety, enjoy!
So there you have it. I hope this clears up any confusion.

By Jack Elliott Jr./The Associated Press
JACKSON — Hundreds of bills don't survive a session of the Mississippi Legislature.
Some are filed by multiple lawmakers when only one bill is needed. Some Senate bills are duplicates of House bills and vice versa. Some are silly. Some need more study. Some make no sense. Others originated in coffee shop discussions as something the Legislature should do — but really shouldn't.
The 2013 legislative session is no different. But folks will tell you that until a session is over, nothing dead until it is "dead dead dead."
As Sen. Terry Burton, R-Newton said: "There's dead, dead-dead and really dead."
This past week was the deadline for committees to consider bills that would change general laws. Another deadline is Feb. 14 for the full House and Senate to consider bills that started in their own chamber. Then, they swap bills with a March 5 deadline for Senate committees to act House bills and vice versa.
Some perennial issues died again last week. No radar for sheriff's departments, no ban on texting by motorists and no harsher penalties for cockfighting.
Sen. Briggs Hopson III, R-Vicksburg, took his Judiciary A Committee through a series of bills. As the meeting drew to a close, Hopson acknowledged he wasn't going to take up a number of adoption bills filed in the committee.
Hopson talked about the complicated issues associated with adoptions and his committee didn't have the time to look as closely at them as he would have liked.
"I would urge you to do some more work during the break," Hopson said.
Among the adoption bills was one that would have levied a $500,000 fine for any organization that illegally placed a child for adoption and another addressed adoption of children from overseas.
One adoption bill is alive in the House. It would provide for restoration of parental rights of a natural parent.
Switching to the other side of the Capitol, House Municipalities Committee chairman Ed Blackmon Jr., D-Canton, agonized over bringing up a particular bill. So much was his agony that he skipped all over his committee's printed agenda to avoid it.
Short title was: "Municipal judge; require to be an attorney."
"What's wrong with it?" asked one committee member.
"It's lawyer's bill. It's a lawyer's bill," said Blackmon, who is a lawyer himself.
State law says "in all municipalities where a municipal judge is not appointed, the mayor, or mayor pro tempore, shall be the municipal judge." It says nothing about them being lawyers.
Non-lawyers in the Legislature — some of them anti-lawyer — will tell you they love to see lawyers fight over something that affects their livelihood. Debate can hang up the Legislature for hours. Blackmon didn't want to do that.
There were other bills that didn't get out of House and Senate committees.
Mississippi loves naming things — see flower, toy, fish, reptile and others in the Blue Book. But, a bill to name the black bear the state mammal didn't survive.
Lawmakers still don't want to be bothered with changing the state song. Bills died in both houses.
The Senate Wildlife Committee let die a bill that would require a hunter who places a tree stand on public lands or lands not his own to attach to the stand a weather-resistant tag containing his name and address.
Legislation to allow hunting of over bait during any open season on deer failed to get out of committees.
Wildlife bills are like lawyer's bills. Debate can last for hours.
One dead bill that may have legs: A proposal from Rep. Tom Miles, D-Forest, to require the state wildlife agency to install wireless Internet access at all state parks.

Angel Tree toy, food drive set in Tupelo
The Tupelo Flea Market will feature a food and toy drive this weekend to benefit The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project. The Angel Tree, which is set up in The Mall at Barnes Crossing, is a project in which needy families submit their children's Christmas lists to be filled by charitable mall shoppers. Shoppers register for a list, purchase items on the Christmas list and then return them to The Salvation Army for distribution.
The toy and food drive calls for donations of imperishable food items and toys, but most of all clothes. Major Sue Dorman, senior officer of The Salvation Army in Northeast Mississippi, said that since kids grow so quickly, distressed families often struggle to keep up. She suggests hoodies, shoes, socks and underwear, as well as books and educational toys.
Church of England rejects women bishops
In a surprise move that shocked both sides of a years-long debate, the Church of England rejected an expected move to allow women bishops on Nov. 20.
The vote came after almost nine hours of debate and months of lobbying by both sides. While the vote was expected to be close, many believed the new Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby's full-throated support – "It is time to finish the job and vote for this measure," he said – would help end years of acrimonious debate.
Opposition came largely from two groups who claimed that allowing women to hold leadership posts over men was unbiblical, and said the proposal did not contain adequate safeguards to protect parishes or priests who could not accept a woman bishop.
There are around 3,000 actively serving women priests in the Church of England – roughly 40 percent of all clergy. More than 70 percent of church membership is female.
#GivingTuesday event aims to boost charities
A group of charities and corporate sponsors is urging Americans to make the Tuesday after Thanksgiving just as powerful a day of giving to those in need.
It's called #GivingTuesday, and organizers say it's gaining momentum as the holiday shopping season approaches.
"We have two days that are good for the economy. Here is a new day that is good for the soul," said Henry Timms, deputy executive director of strategy, innovation and content of 92nd Street Y in New York City, where the idea was hatched.
#GivingTuesday is a consumer movement, much like the big post-Thanksgiving shopping days, and organizers say it's up to people to make it a success. The goal is to drive donations of time, money or services to charities with the same enthusiasm that shoppers have on Black Friday.

In April, Heather Rojo wrote about using Blurb to create a blog book. There was quite a bit of interest in this topic, and she followed up with more Blurb details in answer to questions people had. I'd been leaning toward Blurb for a family history book I'm planning, so I was happy to know she'd had a good experience with it.
I wasn't quite ready to begin my project, but Heather told about Blurb's blog-slurp capability, and I decided to give that a test run using my first (non-genealogy) blog. By the end of May, I had my blog book in hand and was more than satisfied with the materials and workmanship. I started the family history book I'd had in mind, and also slurped a couple more of my old blogs.
The new-found portrait of the Schulte cousins has inspired yet another book project. My cousin Cheryl and I are putting our heads together on this one, a book about Joseph Meyer Schulte's ancestors and descendants. Together we have an abundance of material, lots of excellent photos, and a great mix of skills for getting the job done.
One of our goals is to keep the book under 120 pages. That's the cut-off point beyond which the binding of the book would be glued rather than sewn. We want the added strength of a sewn binding for our book.
Another goal is to create a book that will be interesting to all family members, including those who fall asleep when the word genealogy slips into the conversation. Think family history meets coffee table book. To that end, the first half (or more, as needed) of our book will depend heavily on photographs and narrative text pertaining to our immigrant ancestor, Joseph Meyer Schulte, and his children and grandchildren. For great-grandchildren and subsequent generations (in other words, those of us who are still living), I hope to include some yearbook-style pages, with several smaller portraits on each page identified simply by name and birth year. A section on Joseph's German ancestry is next, followed by a section about Joseph's niece Lizzie and other descendants of Joseph's ancestors. Charts, documents, and a bibliography will play a part in the remainder of the book, based on how much space is left.
I'd already roughed out about forty pages of the book when I read Denise Olson's The Hybrid Family History. You'll want to read that if you're thinking of creating a book yourself.

Despite a raft of estimate and price target cuts for Apple (AAPL) on flagging sales projections for the iPhone, and some concern over cannibalization of Apple's iPad tablet, nevertheless the suppliers to Apple have been surprisingly strong this morning.
Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) are up $1.97, or 3.3%, at $61.80, Broadcom (BRCM) stock is up 69 cents, or 2.2%, at $32.75, shares of Avago Technologies (AVGO) are up 70 cents, or 2.2%, at $31.84, shares of Cirrus Logic (CRUS) are up $1.54, or 6%, at $27.13, and shares of Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) are up 79 cents, or almost 4%, at $20.53, to name just the most prominent component suppliers to Apple.
Some of that is attributable to several bullish notes released this morning defending some of these names.
MKM Partners's Dan Berenbaum reiterated Buy ratings on both Qualcomm and Broadcom, and $71 and $43price targets, respectively, writing that build plans for the iPhone seem overall healthy and that anyway both companies enjoy business with multiple smartphone and tablet makers:
iPhone build plans frequently fluctuate intra- quarter, and highlights that checks suggest that C4Q12 build plans recently increased, offsetting some of the reduction in C1Q13 estimates […] Positive outlook for BRCM and QCOM is based on their positions in the overall smartphone supply chain, and is not AAPL specific. BRCM derived 13% of its sales from AAPL in 2011 and has $4-$5 of content in the iPhone, based on his estimates. If customers shift away from the iPhone without impacting aggregate demand then the buyer may simply shift to the Samsung (Not Covered) Galaxy that BRCM supplies a similar amount of content for. So BRCM's broad smartphone market exposure should shield it relatively well from AAPL-related issue.
Likewise, Susquehanna Financial Group's Chris Caso reiterates "Positive" ratings on Broadcom and Qualcomm, writing that the cuts in iPhone build plans were a surprise, but that investors need to consider the total universe of Qualcomm and Broadcom's sales:
Our checks conducted over the last three days confirmed the recent market chatter regarding order cuts in the AAPL iPhone supply chain […] The only explanation for the order cuts that we heard was that Foxconn and AAPL wished to reduce inventory into 1Q. But we also don't think these order cuts were routine. We had conducted checks at several suppliers in early December, which indicated remarkable stability in iPhone builds into 1Q. Checks at the same suppliers over the weekend indicated the revised commentary noted above. We therefore expect this will be a surprise to most AAPL suppliers […] When evaluating the impact of this change on AAPL's semiconductor suppliers, we think investors have to take into consideration the strength we have seen elsewhere in the handset space, and we don't think that's changed. In particular, we think Samsung's holiday sales are running ahead of expectations (with the Galaxy Note 2 a significant driver), and strength at Samsung is one explanation for AAPL's revised view. We continue to expect Samsung's smartphone production to be flat to slightly down sequentially in 1Q, driven by the launch of the Galaxy S4 in late 1Q.

Wow, long time since last entry. I spent the summer working like mad (gotta love those start-ups) and didn't have much time for anything, including sailing, FreeBSD, or OpenSail. Now that nasty weather is here again, maybe I'll get more time for hacking.
One of my contributors got me hooked on itty bitty CPUs this summer, so I've been playing with PICs and AVRs, and have decided to use AVRs for the OpenSail instruments. Rather than put dumb counter/sensor devices from DalSemi at the masthead, I'll stuff a small CPU up there and just return cooked data via serial line. The power consumption, especially on the low-power AVRs, is quite good and the circuitry is actually simpler than using multiple 1-wire devices.
We have managed to create part of the physical hardware for the wind instruments as well. We found a great supply of simple nylon bushings at a local hardware store and have experimented with a brass shaft passing through said nylon bushing. The brass seems stiffer than aluminum, and is certainly easier to work. Soldering brass to brass is quite simple, compared to the inert gas welding required for aluminum. Brass should stand up to the harsh saline environment of the Great Salt Lake better than aluminum, which tends to pit over time if unprotected.
So anyhow, we have rotating shafts and an enclosure that can be waterproofed; the enclosure is made of two female PVC pipe caps and a short segment of 2.5" OD PVC sprinkler pipe. As we perfect the sensor wheels we'll probably be able to shrink down to 2" OD pipe, and perhaps someday a custom enclosure.
I'll post more when we have some working code for the AVR. One of my co-contributors is going to do a PIC version of the wind sensor when he has time.

WHAT IS REVERBERATION TIME?It is an acoustical property of most internal spaces which can be both predicted and measured. It represents the time in seconds for reflected sound to decay and become inaudible after a loud sound, such as a hand clap, has ceased.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?Reverberation time is an indicator of the sound quality within a space for both speech and music. Shorter RTs (<1.0 sec) are preferred for good intelligibility in teaching, conference and meeting spaces to ensure optimum speech communication. However for music making and listening in halls and auditoria, longer RTs (>1.5 secs) are desirable.
In several European countries, legislation acknowledges the need for optimum acoustic conditions in public spaces (particularly in education and health) and provides guidance and criteria for acceptable RT values. The RT of a space is primarily determined by its volume and how much sound absorbing material is present. Larger volumes result in longer RTs whereas increased amounts of sound absorption result in shorter RTs as shown by the relationship: RT = Volume/Absorption x Constant. For example, a small classroom with a suspended acoustic ceiling and carpet will have a short RT, whereas a large multi-purpose room with a drywall ceiling and hardwood floor will have a long RT.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of First Solar (FSLR) are up 6 cents at $27.10 as the company's analyst meeting gets underway in Times Square. Axiom Capital's Gordon Johnson, who has a Sell rating on the shares, communicates via an email this morning that he was turned away from the event, as it was filled to capacity. Johnson fulminated that the event was effectively a private one, as he insists he was not invited to register before the event.
In any event, you can follow the action via webcast on the company's investor relations site.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $1.64, or 0.4%, at $424.57, as DigiTImes's Aaron Lee and Joseph Tsai report that the company's MacBook laptops may have single-digit shipment growth this year, based on unnamed sources in the electronics supply chain saying they have "not yet seen any major increases in orders." The authors assert that Apple was having to "digest" inventory of MacBook 13-inch models in Q1.
Speaking of Apple, Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares, and a $600 price target, while writing that Apple will face a slowdown this quarter in iPhone sales, perhaps selling just 31 million units, ahead of a refresh over the summer, which will cause some buyers to hold off. But while Apple greater competition from Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) Galaxy S4 over the summer, he thinks investors should stay the course with Apple, writing "Apple remains well positioned with a privileged advantage in the compute market and will be able to maintain momentum across key product lines driven by continued innovation in hardware, software and services."
Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets also warns this morning of some sub-seasonal softness for Apple. Writes White, who has a Buy rating on Apple stock and an $888 price target, his "Apple Monitor," a basket of electronics suppliers that he tracks as a proxy for Apple's progress, saw a 21% sales increase in March, month to month, which was less than the 25% that Ehite sees as typical for the season for the group. White writes that he is "nevertheless encouraged by the potential new product launches in 2013, especially around a lower-priced iPhone and an 'iTV' that we believe will allow Apple to tap into significant new market opportunities."
Shares of Facebook (FB) are down 30 cents, or 1%, at $26.55, after Oppenheimer & Co.'s Jason Helfstein cut estimates for the company, citing an expected increase in mobile traffic.
Also from Oppeneheimer this morning, semiconductor analyst Rick Schafer this morning writes that he's expecting an in-line Q1 report from chip companies, and that there could be some selling pressure on the stocks based on the outlook for Q2. Writes Schafer, "The Street has modeled semis up 6% sequentially in 2Q."
"This could result in selling pressure if, as we suspect, estimates do not move meaningfully higher. Semis have traded off an average of 9% over the last three 2Qs and 2013 sets up similarly, in our view."

With Instagram recently causing an uproar by changing their TOS many people went looking for an easy way to make a copy of their photos. Given that there weren't any extremely simple solutions I decided to throw one together for myself and others to use.
Instagrab will ask you to sign in to both your Instagram and Google+ accounts, then with the click of a button will create a private Instagram album on G+ and copy all of your photos across. Transfers will be queued up, so if it isn't happening right away please just a wait a while as there are likely others using the service.
I'm a little late in releasing this as I got a little caught up in the holidays but figured some may find it useful. It didn't take too long to put together as I have a bit of experience integrating with both networks due to my work on +Fotostat (Be sure to check it out if you are a photographer wanting an easier way to manage your online presence).
Be sure to let me know what you think of it or if you have any problems.

Electronic & Universal Waste Recycling
Universal Waste is Prohibited from Landfills in California
In the State of California electronic waste, fluorescent tubes, consumer batteries and mercury thermostats are prohibited from going into the trash. These materials fall into the category known as "Universal Waste", and can harm human health and the environment if they are disposed of improperly. Although these products may not be dangerous to use, most of them contain poisonous heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium that can pollute groundwater near landfills.
Electronic Waste
Electronic Waste
Almost anything considered electronic is banned from landfills. These items include computers, monitors, peripherals, phones, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, microwave ovens, PDAs, and iPods. When they are disposed of, these types of items are called "e-waste".
You can dispose of electronic waste at the Recology San Francisco Transfer Station (the dump).
Limitations on accepting e-waste
Please limit your monthly disposal of e-waste to no more than 30 electronic items. You can dispose of them for free if they are delivered without any other type of trash. More than 30 items are charged at a rate of $1.50 per piece. If the electronics are mixed with trash, the regular tipping fee applies.
Electronics with screens (such as CRTs, TVs, laptops, and portable DVD players) must be of California origin and used in California. These items with screens must be delivered by the user or an employee of the company disposing of them.
Electronics with screens brought in by moving companies or other third party haulers must sign a form stating the name and address of the original user.
Additional disposal options
In addition to dropping your e-waste off at the transfer station, you can have your electronic wastes collected through the Recology Bulky Item Collection Program for free if you are a resident of San Francisco. If you are a business, visit Bulky Item Recycling.
Many Goodwill stores also accept working and non-working electronics.
Consumer Batteries
Batteries used by individuals and households may be dropped off at convenient locations throughout San Francisco or brought to the public disposal area at the transfer station.
Consumer battery types include:
- Dry cell
- Alkaline
- Ni-Cad, and
- Rechargeable batteries from computers and cell phones
No lead-acid batteries (such as car or motorcycle batteries) will be accepted.
Disposal at the Transfer Station
Households and businesses may bring up to five gallons of batteries (about 70 pounds) per month for free to the public disposal area at the SF Dump.
More than 5 gallons are charged at a rate of $1.00 per pound.
Request a Special Pick Up
Learn more about our bulky item pickup program and battery buckets for property managers of large office buildings. Through this program, you can arrange for a special pick up of consumer batteries for office building tenants.
Please call (415) 330-1300 or visit Bulky Item Recycling for more information.
Drop Off Locations Throughout San Francisco
Consumer batteries can be dropped off at many convenience store chains in San Francisco for free. These batteries are picked up by trash company employees, sorted by type and sent to recycling facilities.
For a complete list of drop off sites, visit SFEnvironment.com.
Fluorescent Lamps
Fluorescent Lamps (Tubes & Bulbs)
Disposal at the Transfer Station
Fluorescent lamps can be disposed of for free at the public disposal area of the Recology transfer station for proper disposal.
There is a 30 lamp per month per customer limit. Customers with more than 30 lamp items per month can recycle the rest for $3.00 per lamp.
The transfer station is the only facility in San Francisco that also accepts other specialty light bulbs, such as mercury vapor and HIDs for recycling.
No burnt out, regular incandescent bulbs please. These are still non-recyclable trash and should be disposed of in the trash.
Learn more about materials accepted at the dump.
Request a Special Pick Up
Property managers, electrical lighting contractors and other businesses may want to establish a pick up service with fluorescent lamp recycling companies. See SFEnvironment.com for a list of companies that can help.
Drop off Locations Throughout San Francisco
Fluorescent lamps from residents may be dropped off at neighborhood drop-of sites established by the City.
All of these sites only accept fluorescent tubes and compact "curly cue" fluorescent bulbs.
For a list of sites, visit SFEnvironment.com.
Household Hazardous Waste
Programs for San Francisco Residents
San Francisco residents may bring paint, oil, and other chemicals to the Household Hazardous Waste collection facility at the transfer station. Visit the HHW page for requirements to accept materials and instructions.
Programs for Businesses
Small San Francisco businesses can participate in the Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) or the Very Small Quantity Generator hazardous waste programs. The Household Hazardous Waste facility at the transfer station is authorized to accept hazardous materials from commercial customers in very small quantities.
We can not accept more than 100kg of hazardous material from small commercial generators per month, unless the materials are universal waste.
For facility requirements and instructions visit our Household Hazardous Waste page.

- Upgrading from 2008 project was absolutely painless. A couple issues like using std::set iterators as being mutable (oops), but these were very easy to fix.
- Auto-vectorization is nice and applies itself all over the place.
- Auto-parallelization (sp?) not so much - but its requirements are much stricter. To counter, there is a super quick and easy pragma that parallelizes (SP?) practically any loop without openmp
- Adding a 64-bit build was also quite painless
Also installed Windows 8 release preview (no msdn so no RTM here)
- Dual booting with Win7 no problem.
- Not intentionally going against the grain, but as an everything-OS, I actually like it a lot.
- Installed VS2012 RC (need Win8 RTM for the official release ) for Win8 Release Preview as well, and so far so good. It built me a demo D3D11 metro app out of the box no problem.
I honestly feel they've done a fantastic job so far.

This male Miniature Pinscher is one of the "hungriest" of the litter. Hungry for glory!
Just look at those uneven ears, imitating Jennifer Lawrence's boobs. Daffodil is a female Chow Chow/Labrador Retriever mix who "loves to wrestle, but also likes to cuddle on the couch." The wrestling is good for the game; the cuddling is just added cuteness. Never hurts.
Magnolia is another female Chow Chow/Labrador Retriever mix who's "faithful and independent." Every pup for herself, Magnolia!
Nala is a female Japanese Chin, and like her lion namesake, she's "fierce." She's also described as "sweet and sassy." This combination of adjectives makes me think she's the puppy world's answer to Beyonce. And since Beyonce's obviously gonna win the Super Bowl, who's to say Nala won't win MVP?
This male Miniature Pinscher is one of the "hungriest" of the litter. Hungry for glory!
This female Yorkshire terrier "likes to wrestle with her two brothers." You know a girl who's growing up with brothers knows how to rumble.
This male Chocolate Dachshund Smooth is "a lovable little terror." With a name like Harry, he's bound to be a rascal. See: Harry Styles, Prince Harry.
This female Puerto Rican Sato is one of the frontrunners. According to her video profile, she was viewed with low expectations at first, but went on to score four touchdowns in her first pro game.
This female Siberian Husky/Retriever mix is my pick to win MVP. She "loves to play, play, play." Three plays. That's serious. According to her video profile, her favorite move is the "Grab a random toy and just flat out run," which is perfect for this game! Just look at that unkempt hair and those intense eyes. She was born a winner.

Consistent, hard work will get you a long way in high school athletics.
Having experience on your side doesn't hurt, either.
The Moffat County girls basketball team had work ethic and a been-here-before attitude for the 2012-13 season. With seven seniors who had contributed varsity minutes the year before, expectations were high for the Bulldogs.
After a rocky start against tough competition in Utah, Moffat County didn't disappoint. The Bulldogs finished the season 20-4 and hosted regional playoff games as the sixth seed in the 3A state tournament, eventually losing to Kent Denver in the round of 16. At one point in the season, the girls rattled off 18 straight wins.
All that success came from a group that had been there before and was comfortable playing no matter the situation.
"We had seven seniors that all had a lot of game experience, and they really worked well together," head coach Matt Ray said. "I think you saw that especially at the end of the season when we won some close games because they were tough at the end."
Moffat County garnered its success on the court by committee. Just one of the Bulldogs averaged more than 10 points per game, but eight others scored at least three points per contest.
Lisa Camilletti, the Bulldogs' leading scorer at 11.7 points per game, said the success came because they were a tight-knit group that wanted to win.
"We all got along and bonded well," Camilletti said. "We all cared a lot about basketball, too."
They also got the job done on the defensive end, averaging 15.3 steals per game through tenacious full-court pressure.
Moffat County went 15-1 in the Western Slope League, losing to Roaring Fork in December before beating the Rams in their next two meetings. They won the regular season and district tournament crowns, beating previous champ Olathe in the district championship game.
"The first time we played all of them, it was just brand new for us" playing in 3A, Ray said. "Confidence-wise, once we played everybody once, the girls just believed they could go through and beat everybody. That's the way it played out."

Mississippi State enters the final week of SEC basketball hoping to capitalize on its upset win over Ole Miss.
The Rebels, meanwhile, begin the week with questions as to how hard they'll play.
Ole Miss needed to win its final three regular season games to position itself for a possible NCAA tournament bid, but the Rebels were beaten 73-67 by the struggling Bulldogs, who snapped a 13-game losing streak.
Murphy Holloway says Ole Miss (21-7, 10-6 SEC) needs to keep pushing forward.
Holloway will play his final regular season home game at Tad Smith Coliseum on Tuesday at 8 against Alabama. The Rebels close on the road Saturday afternoon at LSU.
"I'm going to play inspired. I think everybody else is too. I'm going to keep those guys up. We're going to play hard in the next game and come prepared," he said.
The Bulldogs (8-13, 3-13) play at South Carolina on Wednesday night at 6 and finish up at home against Auburn on Saturday.
The SEC tournament begins March 13 in Nashville.
If junior college transfer Colin Borchert can duplicate his Ole Miss performance – 21 points, 7-for-10 shooting, seven rebounds – the Bulldogs could grab another win or two this week.
'I just listened'
"Coach always tells me, 'Once you hit a couple of 3s, they're going to be flying out on you, so just out-fake and go to the rim.' I just listened to the coach. He's a very smart man, so you might as well use it," said Borchert, who had nine points and five rebounds when Ole Miss defeated MSU 93-75 in Oxford.
A week after becoming the winningest coach in Ole Miss history Andy Kennedy – with 146 wins at the schools – was answered questions about his job security.
The Rebels will likely receive an NIT berth, but it's unsure if they will accept. Athletics director Ross Bjork has previously said he would rely heavily on players' input in making that decision.
Kennedy believes his team has to win the SEC tournament to play in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002.
"Oh, definitely. That's what I think," he said. "Our goal is to try to win out, which would put us into first-round bye territory where you're trying to win three in three days as opposed to four in four."

A simple way to add publications to the Project Warehouse.
Santiago –
I would suggest you enter this as a wish list item so it can be considered in the IT work queue.
From: spujol mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 11:14 PM To: Thalia Anagnos Cc: Weisman, Dawn E; Shirley Dyke; Marshall, Gemez A Subject: Re: Example of project that needs updating
You just pointed at a weak point in the Hub.
The current process to add publications to projects in the Hub is cumbersome. It needs improvement. I am confident that the IT team can provide a better solution.

The link between exercise and more brainpower
Neuroscientists say parents who want to boost their children's mental performance should encourage kids to hit the road before they hit the books
It is first period at City Park Collegiate Institute in Saskatoon, and the Grade 10 students in Allison Cameron's class are priming their brains for an English assignment.
They strap heart monitors on their wrists and climb on a treadmill or exercise bike for a 20-minute workout. When they're done, they move to their desks and start writing. The students are taking part in a program that aims to help them improve their focus, concentration and, ultimately, their academic performance through regular exercise in class.
The results have been startling: On standardized tests, the children in Movement Matters have dramatically outscored students in classes in which the program wasn't offered.
Today, Movement Matters is in its third year and most classes at the school take part. Companies have donated equipment, as has cyclist Greg LeMond, who offered Ms. Cameron six top-of-the-line spinning bikes. A number of schools across the country are interested in setting up something similar.
Fifteen-year-old Benji, whose guardian doesn't want his last name published, goes twice a day to the room with the exercise equipment. He alternates between the bike and treadmill, and usually gets his heart rate up to 140 beats a minute.
"When I first started, I was real tired," he says. "When I got used to it, it woke me up more. I kind of got better at doing math and reading."
