Done Talking Upsets in TVG Illinois Derby
Done Talking Upsets $500,000 TVG Illinois Derby (Gr. III) At 13-1
On-track, Overall Handle Post
Dramatic Increases on Chicago
Racing's Biggest Day
By Claire Novak
Special to Hawthorne
Race Course
– Done Talking punched his ticket to the Kentucky Derby – or any other Triple
Crown race his connections choose – Saturday afternoon at Hawthorne Race Course
when he upset the 55th running of the Illinois Derby (gr. III) at
odds of 13-1.
It was a
first-time visit to Hawthorne
for the 3-year-old son of Broken Vow and his owners, Willie White (58), Lou Rehak (67), and Robert Omdolf
(55), who make up the Maryland-based Skeedattle
Stable. Trained by 67-year-old Hamilton Smith and ridden by Sheldon Russell,
Done Talking came off a disappointing 10th-place effort in the March
3 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) at Aqueduct to pick up a $300,000 winner's share of
the $500,000 purse.
"Hopefully it's on to Louisville from here,"
Smith said. "We came here with the intent of running in the (Kentucky)
Derby if he did
well; you don't get many chances to run in a race like that. The mile and a
quarter should suit him with his late run, which is what you want. When the
speed is backing up, hopefully he'll be kicking on."
Done Talking broke 11th
in a full field of 14 and was 12th as a flight of horses headed by
Frankie Is Rock, Our Entourage, Z Rockstar, and Slamit contested the lead through a quarter-mile in 23.94.
Russell kept the bay colt well-reserved near the back of the pack and was able
to avoid congestion on the first turn when 5-2 favorite Currency Swap was
pinched back and forced to check multiple times. Frankie Is Rock held the lead
through a half in 48.64 before Our Entourage took over to run three-quarters in
1:13.14 while Done Talking was still back in ninth.
The Smith trainee made his move
heading off the far turn into the stretch of the 1 1/8-mile event and had one
horse to pass – second choice Morgan's Guerrilla, who had steadily progressed
to take the lead turning for home. He closed gamely to wear down the tiring
contender and edged to a ľ-length victory in a final time of 1:53.88 on the
fast track.
"I was happy with him going
into the (first) turn and down the backside," Smith remarked. "The only problem
we had was in the far turn when he was making a little run and the 14 (Slamit) came back to him and he had to take up a little
bit. I thought that was going to cost us the race but he finally got through
and weaved his way through. The kid (jockey Sheldon Russell) did a great job of
riding him."
"We wanted to take the horse
back early," Russell said. "He's kind of a one-run horse and we weren't too
keen on using him early going into the first turn. The trainer did tell me to
look to make that early move. I tried moving at about the five eighths pole,
people told me that this is one of the longest stretches in the country and I
just wanted to get my horse close enough so that when he did kick in he was
going to be close enough to get there. I was very surprised turning for home
that we were in about fourth place. I just knew then that I still had some
horse. He's the type that you have to keep at him but if you do he will give
you everything that he has."
With the Illinois Derby score,
Done Talking extended his career record to three wins, two thirds from seven
starts with overall earnings of $381,200. He returned $27.20, $10.80, and
$6.60, while Morgan's Guerrilla brought $5.80 and $4.40 for a $185.20 exacta.
The late-closing Hakama got up from sixth in the
stretch to round out a $2,011.00 tri.
"I didn't have the trip I
thought I'd have in the first turn," jockey Rosie Napravnik
said of her run on Morgan's Guerrilla. "We didn't break super sharp and the
outside horse did. I thought I'd let him go and then there was a whole fiasco
inside of us, which I'm glad we weren't involved in. He had a wide trip and he
was totally green down the lane but he's a very talented horse. When he gets
his focus, he'll be even better."
Saturday Launch, Our Entourage,
Ring It Up, Skyring, Frankie Is Rock, Pretension, Z Rockstar, Currency Swap, Fastestwhogetspaid,
Romancing the Gold, and Slamit completed the order of
"I haven't seen the replay yet,
but from what the jock (Shaun Bridgmohan) told me, he
really got in a lot of trouble on the first turn," trainer Terri Pompay said of Currency Swap's effort. "It was big, he said he almost got knocked off the horse. Then down
the backside they were pinning him in, he really had no place to go. The horse
didn't get a good shot. When he did get him out he made a run and he basically
got tired. Whether it was just tired or tired from all the trouble on the first
turn, it's hard to tell."
Overall handle wagered on the
Illinois Derby Day card rose more than $1.3 million to
$4,924,763 over last year's $3,552,625 – while the on-track handle of $365,452
wagered by 4,650 attendees compared to 3,400 in 2011 was up significantly from
last year's $322,750.
Also on the day, Clovertowne Farm's Taptowne took
the $62,250 Cryptoclearance Stakes, giving trainer
Michael Reavis his second winner of the day (Reavis trainee Time Goes On won the first race on the
card). Jockey Orlando Mojica kept Taptowne
off a pace set by Shadowbdancing in the 1 1/16-mile
event for older horses before closing to a 1 Ľ-length victory in 1:45.55.

The Disaster Resource GUIDE has roots in the lessons learned after the devastating Mexico City earthquake (1985) which highlighted the need for preparedness and preplanning. The recurring message in the mainstream media: "Human suffering could have been enormously reduced if 72-hour preparedness had been a pre-earthquake priority."
Disaster Resource GUIDE is published by Emergency Lifeline Corporation. ELC was founded in 1985 by Kathy Gannon Rainey with the purpose of helping businesses, schools, families and individuals prepare for 72-hour self-sufficiency. In addition to selling preparedness kits and supplies, Emergency Lifeline published educational resources for hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness. These simple educational publications spotlighted several companies with diverse products for a developing marketplace.
In the early 1990s, an industry began to emerge. There were small steps of collaboration between the disciplines of business recovery (now aka business continuity) and emergency management. Major corporations realized that business recovery and resumption was linked to the well-being of its employees and the survivability of its infrastructure. This movement was the catalyst for the Disaster Resource GUIDE which was launched in 1996.
The Disaster Resource GUIDE is about helping companies, institutions, communities, and families preserve and protect those things that are most important– people...property...jobs...business assets...community.
If these concerns are your concerns.....the GUIDE is for you. Our mission is to consolidate and communicate thousands of resources through four media vehicles:
>> Annual Disaster Resource GUIDE
>> Special Edition Mini-GUIDEs
>> Wednesday Continuity eGUIDE
>> 24/7 Online GUIDE
Our job has been made easier by a growing corporate and government commitment to "work together" to ensure continuity of our corporations and communities. TODAY WE SEE…
The GUIDE is a result of working together with three important groups – an experienced and knowledgeable Advisory Board and Editorial Board, a grassroots alliance of organizations, and participation of more than 300 companies with essential products and services . We have organized the GUIDE into 6 distinct sections with the hope that it will be more "user friendly". You will see resources for:
Let us know how we can better serve you, and by the way….when you call our advertisers for information about products and services, be sure to say, "I saw you in the GUIDE!"

Dear George and Dave:
Your arguments are not just that all these translators used the past or
past perfect tense in agreement with each other, which I agree with as
well, but you leave unspoken the rest of the argument which is that they
stand united counter to the facts. We all know - at least most of us on
this list do - that the earth is some 4.6 billion years old and for any
one writer or translator to say that no rain had fallen since creation
until mankind was brought into existence is patently incorrect. So your
arguments are not that the translators were wrong, it seems to be that
the translators were right and they faithfully translated the stupid
writer of Genesis who had no clue. The writer must have thought the
Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon and Gihon flowed from some mysterious source
of abundant fog I suppose.
This verse was written in the present tense as is all Hebrew which in
this case if translated in the present tense makes sense. Southern
Mesopotamia, the setting of the Garden of Eden, is in a desert area
still today. It doesn't rain there very often. God still today does
not cause it to rain there. And that's what the Bible writer could have
told us if the translators knew anything about the climatology of the
region. So my translation may contrast with typical translations but it
is consistent with the Hebrew and with the facts. Your idea that
Genesis is one way and the facts are the other way falls on my deaf ears
- much as I respect you guys.

Yes, I just mentioned versions that I had copies of at home - though I
forgot to include NKJV which of course has the perfect. (I did include
TEV & CEV though.) The Living Bible & the Jehovah's Witness version
also have perfect tenses but I don't give them much weight.
In fact this raises the question: Is there any translation of the Bible
that does render the verb as Dick suggests?

You missed JPV (1917 and 1955) and Tanakh. Also Young's, Knox, New

I don't recognize the initial quote as mine. Nevertheless, let me
comment on Gen.2:5. It is not just KJV & NIV but the Septuagint,
Vulgate, Luther, Douai-Rheims-Challoner, Goodspeed, Moffat, Beck, RSV,
NRSV, NEB, TEV & CEV which all render this with a simple past or a
perfect tense.
Maybe they all did this "out of ignorance." (& in most of those cases
cases ignorance independent of the ignorance of other versions. I.e.,
the translators were making an effort to avoid just "following along"
other versions.) But maybe concordists need to awaken from their
dogmatic slumbers.
It's true that a Hebrew verb form taken in isolation doesn't have an
intrinsic temporal sense. But in context, & especially in a sequence
with other verbs, the temporal referent may be clear.

One of the questions I get asked is why the reversal of the order of
creation between animals then man in Genesis 1 and man then animals in
Genesis 2. In my view, the Genesis 2 narrative pertains to Adam
specifically not to generic mankind and the emphasis is on Adam giving
names to the animals that had been formed by God. Keep in mind there is
no verb tense in Hebrew. Past and past perfect tenses were applied by
translators according to what they thought was appropriate and
unfortunately what they thought occasionally was wrong. In Genesis 2:5
the King James translators decided that God "had not caused it to rain
upon the earth," where they could have said God "did not cause it to
rain upon the [land]." The NIV out of ignorance followed along: "Lord
God had not sent rain on the earth ."
Now in Genesis 2:19, the KJV translators chose a simple past tense where
a past perfect tense would have worked better and was chosen for the
NIV. The sense of the verse is that Adam gave names to some animals God
had formed previously, not like in the young-earth scenario where Adam
had to complete the task of naming every animal on earth on the first
day of his creation, and God was popping animals out of the ground like
machine gun rounds so that turtles and snails had to gallop past Adam
like cheetahs and gazelles while Adam chanted out names like a Tennessee
auctioneer. The "straight forward" reading, of course.

Subject: [asa] A few literal problems in Genesis
As one of the few literalist here, and one wanting to learn, even if it
is iron on wood, please tolerate my unorthodox literal view.
First, I was pondering the statement that the animals and Adam were
created "out of the dust of the ground". I realize that some have
inferred that this statement could include evolution, as the earth
itself is what produces the variety of creatures.
This reference is not from Genesis 1, but from the time after God placed
Adam in the garden (2:15). In verse 19, "God formed every beast of the
field". That could be interpreted "God formed every beast that was in
the field" in the sense that it was a duplication process. It is
unlikely that every beast for all the Earth suddenly were made "out of
the ground", else there would be no ground left to have a garden. Only
replications were necessary for the purpose that seemed obviously
intended -- the allowance of Adam to name them.
I disagree with those that view that Chapter 2 is to be taken as an
enhancement to the day 6 account, or a greater level of differentiation.
I take Chapter 2 as a separate and important event for mankind, since a
"living soul" (KJV) was given to a very special man.
Since there was no mention of the formation of things "out of the
ground" in chapter 1, then a broader view that allows for an
evolutionary process may be warranted.
.then for consistency what would the creation of Eve be taken to mean
scientifically, as being from Adam's rib? In other words, for those who
take the one statement as a scientific inference of Adam's evolution,
how can they apply consistent interpretation when it comes to Eve's
creation as a scientific event?
Agreed. But, if our observer is simply giving an account of mankind's
presence to establish God as the responsible Creator, then a 6th day
mankind evolutionary view, along with a specific creation account for
Adam and Eve, doesn't seem that illogical. The necessary molecular and
neurological components necessary to create an Adam from scratch that
would make him compatible for our planet would be available in any of
the evolved homo sapiens already in existence.
Perhaps, when the evolutionary process reaches such a level as the early
homo sapiens, then credit is given to the one person who made it
possible - God. Further, such species could be candidates for eternal
life. That would be a very, very special event, one worth establishing
in a special chapter, too.
That may sound a little radical, but I predicted, through a crude math
extrapolation, that we would discover 62 new exoplanets last year. I
missed it by one; there were 61 new ones. The rate of exoplanets
discovery is not linear. It seems clear the universe will have
trillions of planets. This does not diminish God's glory, of course,
but should magnify it for our own eyes to see and admire.
[While we are on the subject of exoplanets, take a look at this story I
just read while typing here.
It shows a dark spot in the insert image that represents the likely
formation area of a protoplanet within the star's accretion disk. Is it
not plausible for an ancient observer to see such a region and describe
it as "without form and void"? This is the first image of its kind that
I've seen, though I am not an astronomer, nor heavily active in this
Second, the sun and moon were made to "divide the day from the night",
with the sun to rule over the day, and the moon to rule over the night.
If this was so (according to a "literal" interpretation), then why do we
see the moon come out in the daytime and disappear at night sometimes?
It seems that if this verse were to be taken literally, the moon has
ceased functioning according to its created purpose, which was to rule
over the night.
I think others have addressed this well enough. Only one is seen at
night, and it is 2000 times brighter than Venus (the second brightest
object in the sky) and 30,000x brighter than the brightest star, Sirius.
The Moon rules, as kids might say today. Since everyone knew in those
days the Moon's pattern, no further elaboration about it would be
necessary in the passage. Their own rulers roamed around, too, no
Also, since God divided the light from the darkness in Gen 1:4, why did
it need to be divided again in verse 14 by the sun and moon? How do the
sun and moon divide the light from darkness, since both of them cast
light on the earth (the moon for at least most of the month)?
The emission of light into darkness creates the division. Recall that
there was first darkness." and darkness was on the face of the deep".
Space is both deep and dark. Only light changes that view. It is also
seen in our shadows where the division from light and dark are obvious.
It is the light that creates the division, and only the Moon and Sun
create these personal light/dark divisions, excluding some nit-pickin'
wimpy exceptions.

bearnut2: yeah alt I'm A10SCN2
vkn: Howdy and heyyyy to each and all. i am working under the hood so not to mind me DAVISS!!!!!
bearnut2: I've contributed to a "tussle" or two... lol
daviss: speaking of 23and me alt did you get in that last venture
alt: okay bearnut2, thanks... I don't know if I can post until I get my results back.... is that right?
daviss: lol vkn!!!
bearnut2: no, you can post now--join in!
alt: Yes I did daviss .. and they received my sample 16 Aug... so I guess I'll hear from them toward the enod of Sept... if not sooner.
bearnut2: did you get in daviss?
alt: think I'll do some more reading bearnut2. I'm not quite ready for prime time LOL LOL
daviss: That will just be for the health portion won't it
bearnut2: nope--its for everything daviss
daviss: aha! bearnut2 thanks
bearnut2: lol alt
daviss: and yes I did bearnut2
vkn: fierybug how you be? Missed ya
bearnut2: yw daviss they combined everything last year so there is no longer a health only/ancestry only option...you pay--you get it all!
alt: good daviss, glad you made it.... just you, or did you have other family members invilved?
bearnut2: yay daviss--glad you joined the "family" too
daviss: no, I wish I did.. Its to late now isn't it
alt: I think so.. at least a post from 'cynthia' indicates the offer has elapsed
bearnut2: I don't think its too late but I know they are being a bit more "discriminating" as to who they offer the kits to now--due to some complaints of folks who really don't qualify being given kits
daviss: how so bearnut2?
bearnut2: It has always been said by 23andme that participants should be those that identify as African American, black or African ancestored...
daviss: right!
bearnut2: but some folks who have found they have .8% african in 23andme have applied for kits and some folks who wouldn't "dare" be called African anything have all of a sudden decided that they should participate so they can get a free kit...
daviss: I see so how would they know
bearnut2: its mainly all about the "free"!
fierybug08: what? the kit is free?
alt: yeah, I read some of the post that called 23andme being discriminatory by only offering this free test to AA's and those with AA ancestry.
bearnut2: I think they are going to target the remaining kits to AA organizations kind of like they did with the Urban League
fierybug08: that's not discriminatory... *eyerolls*
alt: it is according to some of the posters fierybug08
fierybug08: I can assume these posters are of another persuasion?
bearnut2: alt--yeah and they have constantly said that if this venture goes well, they will then target other under-represented groups
vkn: y'all be good and take care
daviss: so I guess its no use asking my daughter to send for one or mabe her father
bearnut2: I always found it kind of "funny" that the Fibroid info was only tested on Europeans and Asians...lol
fierybug08: Okay...since I am slow. I guess I can go to 23andme website and see what they are testing for
alt: I can believe that bearnut2 .. as they state the project is for the under repesented AA's in the health/medical arena and not for the genetic genealogy aspect.
bearnut2: daviss--you can try--can't hurt
fierybug08: but, they provide genealogy aspects with the test?
daviss: ok, I think I will bearnut2 thx
bearnut2: fierybug08 --yes the "project" is mainly to get AA specific health info but once you test, ALL of 23andme's resources are available including genealogy
alt: yes fierybug08, the genetic genealogy Y/mtDNA and admixture, right bearnut2?
bearnut2: you got it alt! lol and also relative finder which is like family finder on FTDNA
daviss: ok so would there be an extra fee bearnut2 for that
bearnut2: nope! daviss with the RITF project EVERYTHING is FREE!!! Thats why folks who don't really qualify want the kits so bad!
alt: that's what I'm interested in... the Relative finder aspect to see if there are any crossover's from FTDNA.
Selma: Folks I have to run..have a great day
daviss: wow!!! that is wonderful'
fierybug08: okay...i just looked and i don't see free. I see a $9 per month fee to try
bearnut2: daviss--normally a kit is $99 up front and $9/month subscription for a minimum of 1 year. With the RITF project there is no cost up front and no subscription.
daviss: I would love to do the Relative Finder
bearnut2: You'll have it daviss 23andme differs from FTDNA in everything is included in the one test. You get Mt haplogroup, Y haplogroup (if you're male), percentages of African, European, Asian, and matches to dna cousins.
fierybug08: Here's the link https://www.23andme.com/roots/
daviss: surveys here I come lol
alt: bearnut2, on the relative finder.... do you have matches that includ matches outside of your known relatives who have tested with 23andme?
fierybug08: they say you have to enter your email address then they will notify you.
bearnut2: yep thats it fierybug08 alt--yes I have matches to my parents, grandmother and uncle of course and then about 200 other matches to folks that I had no idea I was related to I found a "real" cousin there who there is a paper trail to but she hasn't yet spoken to her mom to find out exactly how we are related. ugh!
alt: 200 wow!!!! I only have 25 matches on the FTDNA Family Finder... no known relatives
daviss: interesting
bearnut2: alt--yep and thats only my matches--my family has others which i don't have oops I think we chased everyone away with the 23andme talk lol
alt: I can belive that bearnut2 .... admixture casts a very wide, broad 'net'.
bearnut2: that it does alt--thats why I'm so glad I got my family tested too
daviss: alt you did the admixture at FTDNA didn't you
alt: could be bearnut2, but we listen to their 'interest' & findings" yes daviss and AncestryByDNA about 6 years ago.
daviss: ok
bearnut2: very true lol I think I've earned a rep as the "dna-nut" lol
daviss: so besides alt I can rattle you bearnut2
bearnut2: yes rattle away daviss! lol
daviss: :?
fierybug08: no...i'm here, just reading on the website
alt: well, I certainly respect your insight & opinion bearnut2
bearnut2: thanks alt--I really appreciate that and as soon as FTDNA opens up their database I'll be bugging you for info!
alt: when I talk with you bearnut2 it is always enlightening.... I get more than the "I've done DNA testing"....
daviss: when my results get in I sure will look you up because my head is thick and need down to earth explainations that I can understand lol
fierybug08: i'm going to run. I have to prepare for a meeting. I will see you wonderful folks later.
bearnut2: lol I'll do my best daviss
daviss: hehehehe
bearnut2: I think I've got dna-on-the-brain alt...
alt: OH, I saw Linda's repsonse to me and DR. McDonald... seems I can download the FTDNA FF raw data at this time LOL
bearnut2: whan I first got my dad's results I was CLUELESS but I really wanted to understand so I just dove in and asked a bunch of questions and started reading up...
alt: can=can't download at this time
bearnut2: there's still a bunch I don't know or understand and some stuff I don't even TRY to understand but I know enough for what I want to do with it why not alt?
alt: dunno.. that's the message I got this morning when I tried to download the raw data.
bearnut2: hmmm--hopefully it will be fixed this afternoon
alt: I'll try later....
bearnut2: That really good though because you can send him your FF data now and then your 23andme data later and compare
alt: that 15 minute turnaround time that was mentioned really has my interest.
bearnut2: alt lol don't rely on that too much--he does it in his spare time so sometimes its quick and sometimes it takes a few days...
daviss: I better run now.. I am using grands computer for now and need to use it to the max until she needs it back lol lol
alt: okay, understood
bearnut2: lol take care daviss
daviss: take care bearnut2 and alt
alt: later daviss , glad to see you
bearnut2: glad to see you back in action
daviss: thx much and see ya later
alt: and I'll be in touch DNA-wise bearnut2
bearnut2: alrighty then! c ya on 23! lol

This semester was a teaching milestone for me- first time using PowerPoint for a whole class, first time having >110 students (enrollment was 293!), first time teaching basic genetics, first time trying to involve active learning, and more. I team-taught the new Bio102L introduction to genetics & evolution course with another professor, with my lectures focusing primarily on genetics and molecular evolution but a few lectures in other topics (evidence for evolution, speciation, etc.).
With only two lectures left, and feedback from mid-semester evaluations, I have a lot of thoughts on the experience, and I'd love feedback from all of you on your experiences either as a student or as a teacher. I'll split my nine comments into three areas: what I thought went well, what surprised me (in some cases requiring changes), and things where the jury's out.
WHAT SEEMED TO WORK OVERALL (in my opinion- the students can speak to it better!):
1) Low-stress assignments, especially daily pre-lecture quizzes they can retake based on their assigned reading. Many students have told me they appreciate having these, as they help them understand better what it is from the assigned reading I want them to walk away understanding. Even if they don't actually read the material, they're at least exposed to a few specific ideas (and questions/ answers) before class begins. A minority commented they felt it was an unnecessary "hoop", but far more commented favorably than negatively.
2) Technology. The students and I seem to both appreciate having a) videotaped lectures available online, b) PowerPoints available online, and c) assessments (quizzes & problem sets) easy to take at their own schedule on Blackboard (and automatically graded for us). Use of technology has also alleviated some of the burden from me, in that if a student asks me a question that was covered in class, I can give a shorter answer and also refer them to, "See slides 5-8 of my February 2 PowerPoints." Finally, I've really enjoyed using my iPad for lectures- see my other blog post about that.
3) In-class feedback system (via PollEverywhere). When you ask a class "How many people think A is the answer?" and get 20 hands up, and then ask about "B" and get 1 hand, does that mean that 95% of the class understands? What about the 200 people who never raised their hands? PollEverywhere has been great for me both to have the students engage in the material besides just listening to me drone on and to get an idea of REALLY what fraction of students understand (especially when I added an option that says "I don't know" to every poll). Because these polls are done anonymously, response rates are closer to ~60-70% of attendees rather than the usual ~10%. The polls take little time, and students discussing possible answers with their neighbors helps them hear a different way of explaining the material.
4) Spending time talking with students one-on-one. This was a huge personal benefit for me- I arrived to class 30 minutes early every day, chatting with whoever was there, and tried to walk through all the lab sections each week to interact a bit more one-on-one. I got a ton of very valuable feedback on what was clear vs. unclear, what things the students liked vs. didn't like, etc. Additionally, part of what I like about teaching is getting to know these interesting students- a few actually sought me out, but by walking around and chatting directly, I got to know more of them, and I really enjoyed that. I also did various activities with many that were very enjoyable, like flunches and other outings. They're a really fun group of people!
5) The premed stereotype was dramatically exaggerated. ~80% of the class are premeds. I heard "horror stories" from professors who taught other introductory, required classes for premeds about students attacking each question on a test trying to get more points, constant accusations of unfairness, general rudeness, etc. Frankly, I didn't see that at all. There were times when students pointed out alternate interpretations of questions, but it was always done politely, and frankly, many of the times they were correct. When I disagreed, I got a very polite, "I see your point- thanks anyway." Other students expressed concerns to me about their grades, but again, very respectfully and with an eye to what they can do to improve performance in future tests rather than special favors. On my test, the grades ranged from 50-100, so it wasn't that everyone got an A either. My point here is not that these horror stories didn't happen in the other classes, but that there's been too much overgeneralization to "premeds" as a whole.
6) If I think I "COULD" split something into multiple slides to explain better/ more thoroughly, DO IT! There are many concepts I thought would be straightforward, yet at the last second, I extended their coverage into more slides just to be sure. Almost invariably, even with expanded coverage, I still should have used more slides and more explanation. I think my lecture introducing recombination between Drosophila mutations went over poorly, and I had to devote much time in reviews and in one-on-one question/ answers to make up for my poor presentation initially. Since then, anytime I hesitate for even a second on whether to expand a discussion, I err on the side of expanding. It's also important to do it in slides and not just verbally, as the students study from their downloaded slides (and may have missed something I just said verbally).
7) Have multiple people read over all problem sets/ tests. This wasn't a huge issue for my material, but there were questions that I worded confusingly (or for which there were multiple interpretations) where I had to go back and give credit for alternative answers. When this happens, it's stressful for the students and more work for me, so it's really important to have diverse people (including non-native English speakers) read over the problem and test questions. I didn't do enough of that initially.
8) Open-book & open-notebook quizzes/ problem sets/ tests. We adopted this approach to remove the focus from "Do I have to know X fact?" to real understanding, interpretation, and implementation by the students. I liked this, and some students liked this. I received two kinds of concerns, though. One was stress-level: some students really worried that having "open book" tests meant the tests would be extraordinarily difficult. The other was that they worried they may not retain the material as well when needed in the distant future (e.g., for the MCAT).
9) Class timing/ bonus slides. It was extremely difficult for me to prepare material, especially involving some active learning, and know it would take exactly 1 hour 15 minutes. Part-way through the semester, I adopted a new strategy of "bonus slides." Basically, I'd aim for a 55 minute lecture. If we finished it early, I had some slides of more practice problems or discussion questions. If we finished those too, I had some more slides about "bonus material" that's related to what we covered but for which the students were not responsible- basically showing off-shoots that are of "general interest." It seemed to me that these last ones were often enjoyed by the students the most- perhaps because they didn't feel pressured to write things down and really just listened for entertainment. But I didn't get any formal feedback on that overall strategy.
I welcome your thoughts and feedback from personal experiences!

The corps launched their offensive at Vimy on Easter Sunday, and within three days had eradicated the German defenses. This swift victory was achieved through excellent artillery preparation and effective infantry tactics, and was boosted by the Canadian advantage in personnel that allowed them to endure a higher casualty count. Part of the larger Battle of Arras, the capture of Vimy Ridge helped establish the Canadian Corps as a premier fighting force.

Taymazov wins third straight gold
As a young boy in Russia, Artur Taymazov wanted to be like Alexander Karelin, his country's most famous wrestler.
Taymazov later moved to Uzbekistan, but his goal remained the same.
On Saturday night, he finally became a three-time Olympic champion — just like Karelin.
Taymazov won his third straight gold medal in the men's 120-kg division, beating Georgia's Davit Modzmanashvili to become the third male wrestler to win golds in three consecutive Olympics — along with Karelin and Alexander Medved of the former Soviet Union.
By virtue of his silver in Sydney in 2000, Taymazov also equaled Karelin's Olympic medal haul in Greco-Roman wrestling. But he quickly acknowledged that Karelin should still be ranked higher because he's won more world championships.
"He's the name in wrestling, and I'm really, really glad that I've equalized with him on the medal total," Taymazov said. "I wanted to be like (Karelin), and now I am."
There had been questions about whether the 33-year-old Taymazov could make a gold medal run, but he has now silenced those doubters. He displayed the quickness of a teenager in beating Modzmanashvili in the first period, escaping a leg clinch and scoring in just five seconds to break a scoreless tie.
"I was thinking about it all the time. … I wanted the third gold as well," Taymazov said. "It was my dream. I didn't think about anything else."
Two Azerbaijanis — Toghrul Asgarov and Sharif Sharifov — also won gold medals Saturday.
Asgarov won the gold medal in the men's 60-kilogram freestyle, upsetting Besik Kudukhov of Russia 1-0, 5-0.
Asgarov, the 19-year-old junior world champion from 2011, beat Coleman Scott of the United States in the semifinals of the men's 60-kilogram freestyle before taking down Kudukhov, the four-time world champion, in the final.
Kudukhov settled for bronze in Beijing and silver in London, while Scott recovered to win bronze for the U.S.
"I've got this medal now. I can't really get my head around it because I'm so overjoyed," Asgarov said.
Sharifov won the gold medal in men's 84-kilogram freestyle by beating Jaime Yusept Espinal of Puerto Rico 6-1, 2-0 Saturday.
Sharifov, the defending world champion, beat American Jake Herbert in a quarterfinal that led to a post-match dispute between U.S. coach Zeke Jones and officials. He shook it all off and picked up wins over three-time Asian champion Ehsan Naser Lashgari in the semifinals and Espinal in the final.
Espinal delivered just the second silver medal in Puerto Rico's Olympic history — and the first medal of any kind by a Puerto Rican wrestler.
What started as a banner day for the Americans quickly dissolved in a mess of defeats and disputes.
Scott's victory in his bronze medal match helped alleviate some of those bad feelings.
The U.S., perhaps feeding off the momentum of Jordan Burroughs winning gold Friday night, started 5-0 on Saturday, with heavyweight Tervel Dlagnev taking down defending world champion Aleksei Shemarov of Belarus in the quarterfinals. Dlagnev looked sharp and appeared ready to take down Taymazov, but the Uzbek pinned him after 1:50 in the first period.
Dlagnev later lost the bronze medal match when Iran's Komeil Ghasemi pushed him out of the circle with just nine seconds left.
Scott made a surprise run to the semis before being drubbed by Asgarov.
Herbert's first loss had U.S. wrestling coach Zeke Jones going after officials. Jones was given a yellow card as a warning after a challenge by the U.S. resulted in Sharifov being awarded the victory in the second period.
The Americans believed Herbert should have scored three points because he stopped Sharifov and then threw him. Jones said the referees ruled in favor of Sharifov, the defending world champion, while a separate jury ruled it in favor of Herbert.
"I can beat one guy on the mat but not one guy and three officials," Herbert said.
Herbert later lost in his consolation round opener, but Scott came back in his bronze-medal matchup with a brilliant late third-period takedown.
Scott, a native of Waynesburg, Pa., had to win the Olympic Team Trials and beat Reece Humphrey and Shawn Bunch just to make the team.
Scott is the unlikeliest medal winner yet for the Americans. His bronze also meant that the U.S. wrestlers wouldn't come home with just one medal, the way they did in Beijing.
"It wasn't the medal I wanted, but I couldn't leave with nothing. I would not be denied a medal," Scott said.

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), the third-biggest U.S. bank by assets, posted a 42% increase in second-quarter profit that beat analysts' estimates as stock-trading revenue surged and losses on unwanted assets declined.
Net income climbed to $4.18 billion, or $1.34 a share, from $2.95 billion, or 95 cents, a year earlier, the New York-based bank said today in a statement. Excluding an accounting adjustment, earnings were $1.25 a share, beating the $1.18 average estimate of 27 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Corbat, 53, has fired thousands of workers and scaled back operations in some countries to cut costs since replacing Vikram Pandit, 56, in October. Citi Holdings, the unit created in 2009 as a home for the company's unwanted assets after the financial crisis, posted its smallest loss ever.
"Citi has done a good job of de-risking its business by pulling out and cleaning up the Citi Holdings assets," said Marty Mosby, an analyst with Guggenheim Securities LLC. "The critical element for long-term value creation is still a continued lessening of the drag from Citi Holdings."
Citigroup posted a $274 million loss in the second quarter of 2012 from the sale of some of its stake in Akbank TAS, a Turkish bank, benefiting this year's profit comparison.
Revenue Gain
Revenue climbed 8% to $20 billion excluding the accounting adjustment and the Akbank transaction. Expenses rose 1% to $12.1 billion due to "higher legal and related costs," according to the statement.
Shares of the company advanced 1.9% to $51.75 at 9:58 a.m., and gained 28% this year through July 12.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. bank, reported profit on July 12 of $6.5 billion, or $1.60 a share. Wells Fargo & Co., the fourth-biggest, posted $5.52 billion, or 98 cents a share.
Revenue at Citigroup's stock-trading business, run from London by Derek Bandeen, increased 68% from a year earlier to $942 million. Richard Staite, an analyst with Atlantic Equities LLP, predicted $634 million, and Moshe Orenbuch with Credit Suisse Group AG estimated $835 million.
JPMorgan's stock-trading revenue for the period was $1.3 billion, a 24% increase.
Citigroup continued winding down and selling unwanted investments in the Citi Holdings unit, which contains a consumer-finance business and billions of dollars of U.S. mortgages. Assets in the division fell 31% to $131 billion. Losses narrowed to $570 million from $910 million a year earlier.

Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting chemical found in many household products, including antifreeze, deicing products, detergents, paints, and cosmetics. It is poisonous if swallowed.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
Alternative Names
Intoxication – ethylene glycol; Ethylene glycol poisoning
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Ethylene glycol may be swallowed accidentally, or it may be taken deliberately in a suicide attempt or as a substitute for drinking alcohol (ethanol).
The first symptom of ethylene glycol ingestion is similar to the feeling caused by drinking alcohol (ethanol). Within a few hours, more toxic effects become apparent. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, convulsions, stupor, or even coma.
An overdose of ethylene glycol can damage the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, and lungs. The poisoning causes disturbances in the body's chemistry, including
As little as 120 milliliters (approximately 4 fluid ounces) of ethylene glycol may be enough to kill an average-sized man.
Signs and tests
Ethylene glycol toxicity should be suspected in anyone who is severely ill after drinking an unknown substance, especially if they at first appear drunk and you cannot smell alcohol on their breath.
Diagnosis of ethylene glycol toxicity is usually made through a combination of blood, urine, and other tests such as:
- Arterial blood gas analysis
CHEM-7 Chest x-ray(shows fluids in the lungs) Complete blood count(CBC)
- CT scan (shows brain swelling)
EKG Ethylene glycol test Ketones – blood Osmolality Toxicology screen Urinalysis
Tests will show increased levels of ethylene glycol, blood chemical disturbances, and possible signs of kidney failure and muscle or liver damage.
Most people with ethylene glycol poisoning need to be admitted to a hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring. A breathing machine (respirator) may be needed.
Those who recently swallowed the ethylene glycol may have their stomach pumped (suctioned). This can help remove some of the poison.
Other treatments may include:
Activated charcoal
Sodium bicarbonate solution given through a vein (IV) to reverse severe acidosis
Antidotes that slow the formation of the poisonous by-products in the body
In severe cases, dialysis may be used to directly remove the ethylene glycol and other poisonous substances from the blood. Dialysis reduces the time needed for the body to remove the toxins. Dialysis is also needed by patients who develop severe kidney failure as a result of poisoning. It may be needed for many months afterwards.
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a person does depends on how quickly treatment is received, among other things. When treatment is delayed, this type of poisoning can be deadly.
- Coma
- Death
- Kidney failure
- Shock
Calling your health care provider
Ethylene glycol ingestion is a medical emergency. If you suspect possible poisoning, seek emergency care immediately. Do not wait for poisoning symptoms to develop.
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
Keep substances that contain ethylene glycol out of the reach of children.

Thanks again to the fine folks at INDIO beer for providing the tasty suds at Mike Giant's opening @FFDG last week. Meant to thank them before, but spaced it... In any regard, this new beer to the United States via Mexico is tasty, mellow and damn fine icy cold like how we served it... We'd for sure take some more of their complimentary cases to give out at openings in the future.

When Ronald Regan was president, he scheduled a weekly one-on-one meeting in the White House with Secretary of State George Shultz. Nobody else was present, so when Secretary Shultz returned to the State Department, four or five of us senior advisers were always eager for a debriefing on what had been discussed and decided.
On one of these occasions, Shultz returned to announce that Reagan had become committed to ridding the world of nuclear weapons. A startled Richard Burt, then assistant secretary for European affairs, blurted out: "He can't do that!" following up with the conviction that replacing the US nuclear deterrent with conventional weaponry and troops would be of astronomical cost.
Shultz stared at us with those pale, impassive blue eyes that had served him so well as a negotiator in private life and government. You guys "had better get on the ball," he said. The president meant it, he said, and we were to work toward it.
Reagan, like presidents before him who had dreamed of a nuclear-free world, never achieved his goal, although he came close to persuading the Soviets at a 1986 summit in Reykjavik, Iceland.
On his first trip to Europe as president, Barack Obama affirmed the US commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons. Shultz, along with other formidable foreign-policy luminaries such as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense William Perry, and former Senator Sam Nunn, have previously expressed the same hope.
Wisely, President Obama warned that such a goal "will not be reached quickly – perhaps not in my lifetime."
That may be an understatement.
A recent Council on Foreign Relations blue ribbon task force on US weapons policy finds that "the geopolitical conditions that would permit the global elimination of nuclear weapons do not currently exist." And a recent Department of Defense task force, chaired by former Secretary James Schlesinger, found that nuclear weapons remain "fundamental to deterrence." As one participant in the task force's review of US nuclear readiness put it: "Global disarmament of nuclear weapons is fine as long as we are sure we have the last one to be destroyed."
Global nuclear disarmament remains an eminently worthy goal. But it cannot be achieved in today's climate, while:
•A nation with fickle leadership such as North Korea develops nuclear weapons.
•Terrorist groups yearn to acquire one.
•Syria may aspire to join the nuclear club.
•Iran, despite its protestations of peaceful nuclear development, is probably developing nuclear weaponry.
•Pakistan and India will not surrender their nuclear weapons so long as they distrust each other.
•Israel (although it does not discuss its nuclear weapons) will not forgo them so long as challenged by unfriendly neighbors or groups.
What can happen is a reduction of existing nuclear arsenals. The US and Russia possess 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons – far more than they want, or are needed for deterrence. Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are scheduled to meet in Moscow next month. It is expected that a draft treaty to replace the expiring 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) will be on their agenda. It would further decrease the number of nuclear warheads each of them agreed to in START.
Next year, signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are scheduled to review, and hopefully revise, that document. Launched in 1968, it legalizes the right of the US, Britain, Russia, China, and France to have nuclear weapons but called upon them to reduce, and ultimately disband, their nuclear arsenals. In exchange, some 180 nations not bearing nuclear weapons agreed not to develop them.
Over the years, the treaty has become tattered as countries such as North Korea have opted out of it, countries such as Iran are in it but not observing it, and countries such as Pakistan and India have developed nuclear weapons outside it.
At a press conference in April, Obama said the US and Russia would be in a stronger position to re-invigorate the NPT if they were leading by example.
Reductions in nuclear arsenals would be a plus. A nuclear-free world is but a mirage.

Ferrari should be 'proud' to remain in the fight - Alonso
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix

- Teams:
- Ferrari
Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari should be "proud" it has remained in the running for the driver's championship as the paddock heads to the final race of the season in Brazil.
Alonso finished third at the United States Grand Prix this weekend, dropping three points to championship rival Sebastian Vettel, but ensuring the gap is not insurmountable with 13 points now dividing the pair.
"We will try to go to Brazil with the possibility to fight for the world championship which is something that we fight for all through the year and we arrived in that fantastic position," he said. "Only Sebastian is in a better position than us but we should be proud of ourselves so try to enjoy the Brazil race and do our best, fight all the race and see what the outcome at the end is."
After struggling to ninth fastest in qualifying, two grid penalties for other drivers moved him up to seventh at the start - one of which was self-inflicted by Ferrari on his team-mate Felipe Massa, Alonso said his podium had felt like a victory after such a challenging weekend.
"I think this podium, after all the difficulties we went through this weekend is like a victory for us," Alonso said. "Losing three points maybe was in no-one's thoughts I think yesterday night or Friday night after seeing the practice, so we are really happy again to have a very good Sunday and score again good points."

Is there any automatic documentation maker for lisp? Preferably one that produces simple documentation that can be viewed with simple web browsers, like html. A plus point is extensibility; it being able to recognize some s-expressions and add documentation based on that.
Maybe more generally, a documentation maker for files with trees like that of lisp in it. For which you can then recognize macros for which you want documentation.(And some default ones, like defun, defgeneric, defstruct, defpackage.) And something for per-file documentation.
Edit: that does not sound too hard, i might make it myself if it doesn't exist.


text: As supreme commander of Allied forces in Western Europe during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower led the massive invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe that began on D-Day (June 6, 1944). In 1952, leading Republicans convinced Eisenhower (then in command of NATO forces in Europe) to run for president; he won a convincing victory over Democrat Adlai Stevenson and would serve two terms in the White House (1953-1961). During his presidency, Eisenhower managed Cold War-era tensions with the Soviet Union under the looming threat of nuclear weapons, ended the war in Korea in 1953 and authorized a number of covert anti-communist operations by the CIA around the world. On the home front, where America was enjoying a period of relative prosperity, Eisenhower strengthened Social Security, created the massive new Interstate Highway System and maneuvered behind the scenes to discredit the rabid anti-Communist Senator Joseph McCarthy. Though popular throughout his administration, he faltered in the protection of civil rights for African Americans by failing to fully enforce the Supreme Court's mandate for the desegregation of schools in Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 14, 2008) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will continue with play in the second round of the Charleston Classic Saturday at 11:30 a.m., facing SIU Edwardsville inside the Carolina First Center.
For more on the game see the game notes below, or click on the link above:
The series against SIU Edwardsville
The Bucs and Cougars have met just one time with that game coming in 1983 and ETSU winning 56-52.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 14, 2008) - Temple's preseason All-American Dionte Christmas scored a game-high 26 points and the defending Atlantic 10 tournament champions held off a late ETSU rally to take a 79-65 win over the Buccaneers Friday afternoon in the first round of the Charleston Classic at the Carolina First Center ... In the season opener for both teams, Temple built a lead of as many as 24 points in the second half and held on as a late ETSU offensive surge cut the lead to nine points with 3:31 left. Now both teams will continue with second round play Saturday, as the Owls will play in the winner's bracket semifinals at 2 p.m. and the Bucs will play in the loser's bracket semis at 11:30 a.m. ... In the first half, ETSU's offense struggled to find any sort of rhythm and Christmas was everything that was expected, scoring 15 points on four long range bombs and three foul shots. Meanwhile, ETSU stars Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) struggled to get anything going and finished with three and seven points, respectively, before the intermission ... Yet even with those issues, a Pigram 3-pointer with 10 seconds left in the first half would have made the lead 10, but it was waved off by the officials for a controversial five-second call. Temple responded in those waning seconds with a three of their own, making the score 44-28 in the second half. The six point swing was a dagger for the Bucs ... In the second half, Temple continued to put the pressure on the Bucs and it wasn't until ETSU began to press the Owls that they got some rhythm offensively. A 16-3 run made it 72-63 with 3:30 left and the Bucs had three shots to score again and cut the lead even more, but those attempts would not fall and Temple held on ... For the game, Temple shot 48 percent from beyond the 3-point line - 67 percent in the first half and just 27 percent in the second. The Owls out-rebounded the Bucs 50-44 and had 20 assists. The Bucs only turned the ball over 14 times, while forcing 18 Temple miscues on nine steals ... ETSU was led by junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), who posted his first career double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Pigram pitched in 18 and freshman Jarvis Jones (Memphis) scored 12 ... Temple got a double-double from Christmas and teammate Lavoy Allen. Christmas finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds, while Allen had 14 points and 15 boards. Ryan Brooks scored 15 and Ramone Moore netted 11 for the Owls ... ETSU shot 36 percent from the floor and just 50 percent from the foul line.
Injury bug early on
As the preseason unfolded over the last three weeks, the Bucs have dodged their share of injuries, but will still be without a key starter heading into the season ... Senior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) will miss at least two months with an injured wrist suffered during an attempted car jacking in Atlanta ... Davis' injury means that freshman point guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) will be forced into the starting role at the point against Temple ... Meanwhile, freshman post Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) was slowed with an injured foot for much of the preseason and just returned two weeks ago, while sophomore post Tommy Hubbard (Boston) is still nursing a sore elbow.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 22, 2008) - Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to a new "Prestige" ranking released by ESPN.com ... The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed six NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, seven 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. The Bucs also were placed ahead of every current member of the Colonial Athletic Association with the exception of Old Dominion ... In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.
Getting defensive and stopping 3-pointers
During the offseason, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow renewed his team's commitment to the defensive end of the floor, promoting assistant coach Scott Wagers to defensive coordinator and empowering the ninth-year assistant to lock down ETSU's opponents ... The main concerns in recent years have been perimeter defense, as a year ago the Bucs averaged a hefty 78.6 points per game, but allowed 77.2 a contest ... Most notably, the Bucs were dismal defending the arc, giving up a school single season record for 3-pointers with opponents breaking the mark for makes (295) and attempts (841).
Pigram named preseason POTY; Bucs picked second
MACON, Ga. (Oct. 8, 2008) - For the second straight year, ETSU guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) is the preseason pick by both coaches and the media to be the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year. Meanwhile, Pigram and the Buccaneers were picked to finish second by the coaches and third by the media in preseason A-Sun voting released Wednesday by the conference office ... Pigram, a senior shooting guard, was the 2007 A-Sun player of the Year and is a two-time All A-Sun First Team Selection. He has scored 1,445 points in his career and led the Bucs in scoring last season with 15.8 a contest ... While Pigram topped the preseason's individual list, an unprecedented three straight conference championships and nine returning letter winners earned the Belmont Bruins the nod from both the coaches and the media as the preseason pick to win their second consecutive Atlantic Sun regular-season title as well as a fourth straight conference championship ... Meanwhile, ETSU's roster features a talented group of players including Pigram, who needs 555 points to join Centenary's Willie Jackson as just the second player in conference history to accumulate 2,000 points. Pigram and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) represent one of the top returning duos in the conference. The two seniors combined to average over 30 points per game.
Non-conference home win streak at 15
Over the last four seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 17 straight non-conference home games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has wins over teams such as Marshall (twice), Tennessee Tech (twice), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State during that time frame.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 118-38 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center.

"Closing achievement gaps is a critical issue. The performance of Blacks is systematically different from that of other racial and ethnic groups. Decreasing gaps in student achievement means that we must increase the learning gains of Blacks."
- National Education Association
"The gap between teachers and students of color continues to grow. Over the past three years, the demographic divide between teachers and students of color has increased by 3 percentage points, and today, students of color make up almost half of the public school population. But teachers of color are just 18 percent of the teaching profession."

Abu Adam is probably at the top of my all time favorite hummus list.
The amazing hummus, hearty service, low reasonable pricing and infinite refills are a what hummus enthusiasts' dreams are made of.
This is just one in a series of frequent visits - hopefully I'll soon gather a post reviewing all of them combined.
|hummus, fave beans, tahini, egg, parsley, cumin, paprika
There's no way do textually describe just how good this hummus is, so all you can really do is stare at this picture and envy me.
Seriously, it's really good.
If you happen to be in the area - don't miss it!

Push to boost ecotourism in Qld national parks
The Queensland Government says strict protection measures will remain in place as more national parks are opened up to ecotourism.
It has launched a new ecotourism framework to cut red tape, and extend operators' permits to 15 years instead of three.
National Parks Minister Steve Dickson says having more World Heritage areas than any other state gives Queensland a competitive edge in the tourism market.
"The benefits hugely outweigh the risks because we have huge problems within a lot of our protected areas at the moment," he said.
"We've got a couple of million cats running around killing wildlife every night of the week.
"There's a lot of implications that are affecting our national parks and protected areas.
"Having these people out there, they're going to be our eyes and ears.
"They're going to see things that we may not see on a day-to-day basis."

PAXTON � Baker boys basketball coach Mike Martello said it wasn�t Paxton�s pressure defense that hurt the Gators as they took on the Bobcats on Monday.nAlthough Paxton did us an unrelenting press that seemed to expose some of the Gator weaknesses, Martello believed the Gators were their own worst enemies.
PAXTON � Baker boys basketball coach Mike Martello said it wasn�t Paxton�s pressure defense that hurt the Gators as they took on the Bobcats on Monday.
Although Paxton did us an unrelenting press that seemed to expose some of the Gator weaknesses, Martello believed the Gators were their own worst enemies.
�We are a better basketball team than that,� he said. �We missed some easy shots and made some mental errors early on and got down early. And that made everything worse after that.
�I don�t think their pressure did that much to us, but it was just our mental mistakes.�
Whether it was the Bobcat pressure or the Gators playing poorly, the end result was the same as Paxton beat Baker 68-40.
Paxton coach Jeff Bradley said this is a new style of play for the Bobcats who, in the past, have relied on big men in the middle to lead the way.
�This is a new style for us,� he said. �We haven�t played this way since I�ve been here, but we are so guard oriented and we�ve got some of the best shooters I�ve had as a group.
�We want to see if we can get the tempo in our favor and hit some shots.�
In the early going the Paxton pressure didn�t seem to rattle the Gators. Six minutes into the first quarter the Bobcats (3-1) held an 11-10 lead.
The next three mintues of play saw Paxton go on an 8-0 run. A Forrest Wibbing basket with 5:57 left in the second quarter capped the run and extended the Bobcat lead to 19-11.
Baker (1-3) got a 3-point play from Josh Hartzog to close the Paxton lead to 19-14 and that�s as close as the Gators got the rest of the way.
A free throw by Asa Fayne started a 10-0 Bobcat run that extended the Paxton lead to 29-14 as the Bobcats led by double digits the rest of the way.
The Bobcats stretched a 15-11 lead after the first period to 37-19 at the half.
And the pressure continued throughout the game.
Beating the Gators is always is always special for Bradley, who graduated from Baker and was a high school teammate of Martello.
Me and Mike go way back and we played high school ball together,� Bradley said. �Of course, he played and I watched a lot. But it�s always good to be able to win that game.�
When the final horn sounded Grant Stewart�s 14 points led a quartet of Bobcats in double figures. Desmond Moore added 13 points and Dustin Geoghagan and Austin Carnley each had 10 points.
Anderson was one basket away from double figures scoring eight for the Bobcats.
Hartzog led the Gators with 14 points. Brooks Taylor added 12 points and Garrett Sanders had seven points for Baker.

More than 100 heroic fundraisers, cyclists and marshals helped make the JE James and Derbyshire Times' Flagg Cycle Challenge for Ashgate Hospice a popular success.
Riders took on 55, 25 and 10 mile rides on Sunday, July 27, to raise thousands of pounds for the charity on Ashgate Road, at Old Brampton, Chesterfield.
The event rolled out from the hospice from 9am and cyclists battled steep climbs including Sheldon and Birchover as they completed routes around the beautiful Peak District countryside.
Derbyshire Times editor Graeme Huston, who was a marshal-rider, said: "It was wonderful. High praise goes to all those amazing cyclists, marshals and volunteers who turned out to make this event such a great success by supporting the hospice.
"The spirit, courage and camaraderie from everyone involved shone throughout the day."
Team turn-outs including Andy Moore Racing and the Bolsover cycling club who wasted no time at the head of the field and soon stormed round the 55miler.
Brave efforts by independent entries Ian Parsons, of Middlecroft, Matt Randle and Michael Tuck captured the brave spirit of the day as they endured the 55 mile event's steep climbs and gruelling route.
Assistant manager Mick Burr, of JE James Cycles, Chesterfield, and colleague Steve were on hand throughout at feed stations handing out free gels, bananas and drinks as marshals kept riders on route.
Mick said: "Everything went very well and it was a great to be able to help everyone out and keep them well-fuelled."
Following the event riders also received a well-earned, free Derbyshire Times and a soup-and-a-roll.

-Home page should include the following category tabs:

-A quick contact form in a conversion-minded space on the page, with only a few fields.

This is a neat template we like, but has a bit too much features for us, and not the right color scheme:
