Kumeyaay History
Place Names
Who are the Kumeyaay?
By : Mike Connolly
From the earliest contacts, records have indicated that some Sh'mulqs (Clans) did not want to be considered subservient to any societal structure higher than their own Sh'mulq. This independence was also evident in negotiations with other tribes, Spanish, Mexican or US officials, where negotiators would not want to imply any other than their Sh'mulq leadership could speak on their behalf.
When questioned by early Spanish explorers about national identity, individual Kumeyaay gave a variety of answers depending on their interpretation of the question. Variations of the name "Kumeyaay" were recorded as "Quemaya" and "Quamaya." For some Sh'mulqs, the inquiries were interpreted as a seeking of their word for people, and they would respond in their dialect's word for people, such as Iipai, Tipaay, Awikipai, or Kawakipai. Some noted political affiliation with a Sh'mulq alliance, such as the Kwit-hal people of the east slope of Cuyamaca Mountain (or, the Ikwainil Tipai (Blackwood People).
The Spanish named the Indians "Diegueno," in reference to the Mission at San Diego (in the Treaty of Santa Ysabel the United States continued this label by referring to the Kumeyaay as the "Diegueno" Indian Nation). In later years, some groups operating out of self-preservation, or have voluntarily dropped the recognition of the name Kumeyaay. The end result of this variation in response has been a historical record with several different names for the same people.
In the 1950's Dr. Florence Shipek interviewed many elders, conforming to research conducted earlier in the 20th century. After clarifying the terminology sought, the elders (all over 70 years old) all confirmed Kumeyaay was the general name. These elders were from communities of San Pasqual, Mesa Grande, Santa Ysabel, San Diego villages (Cosoy, Nipaguay), desert Bands, mountain Bands, and Baja California Bands. One of the most telling pieces of evidence of the origin of the Kumeyaay name is the oral history told in "lightning songs." These tell of the spread of the Yuman people from the Needles area of the Mohave, up and down the Colorado River. Within the songs are references to "Kumeyaay" west of the Quechan and up the coast.
What is clear is that "Kumeyaay" is one, if not the only, widespread name that was used in reference to all of the Yuman people of the desert to the Pacific. It is also true that Sh'mulqs would at times recognize an overarching governmental structure when necessary for defense, war, or dispute resolution, hence a sense of National identity.
Why did the name Kumeyaay fall into disuse?
Indian people perceived two legal avenues to pursue legal protections for their lands in the period from 1852 – 1875. First, the Treaty of Santa Ysabel (January 7, 1852) which, unknown to the Kumeyaay people, had been voted down by the US Senate and kept hidden in Washington. The treaty guaranteed Reservation land to the "Diegueno" Indian Nation. The second, was a condition in the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, following the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) stating that Mexican citizen's property would be respected by the United States.
For the Indian people, this meant they should identify themselves as closely as possible with the Mexicans, the Missions, and the converted Kumeyaay. Unfortunately, most of the Mexican land records were ignored, destroyed, or deemed invalid by the Land Commission created to rule on treaty claims. The Indians, along with many Mexicans, lost legal recourse.
In the 1870's, the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the United States was also separating Indians between the "Mission" Indians, and the "renegades" or "wild" Indians for which the BIA did not feel should have land rights. When some Reservations were created in 1876 for the "Mission" Indians, it probably further increased incentive for the Indian people to deny affiliation with "Kumeyaay" and express membership with the "Diegueno" or "Mission" names. In 1893, additional Reservations were created for the Diegueno Mission Indians, and there was little incentive for Indians north of the border to retain use of a name, which might link them with the Kumeyaay in Mexico (Kumiai, Mexican spelling of the same name). In fact, after having land seized or being driven off home-sites for 40 years, it must have been a terrifying prospect that some government official may find a justification for taking yet another piece of Indian property. It is little wonder that many Kumeyaay became vehement in their denial of affiliation with the name Kumeyaay and just as stalwart in claiming the name "Diegueno."
By 1900, most all of the Kumeyaay in the US referred to themselves as "Mission" or "Diegueno". Still, the elders born before 1890 remember their true name of Kumeyaay. The legacy is, that some Sh'mulqs or individuals still feel that Kumeyaay was never a name used in reference to their ancestors or their society, in historical context. To circumvent generations of indoctrination into the use of "Diegueno", some Kumeyaay are willing to accept it as a post-modern name. For others, the name "Diegueno" is preferred, and most Kumeyaay are willing to respect the wishes of those individuals who wish to continue being identified as such.
For most of the Kumeyaay people, the name itself is an acknowledgement and reaffirmation of the common culture, language, and history of a tenacious people who occupied the most diverse environment of any Indian Nation in the present United States.

Revealing Halloween Costumes aren't alway acceptable
"In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it," said Cady in "Mean Girls." Step into the typical Halloween party and see this quote in action easily. Kinky costumes are everywhere.
A girl dressing 10 times trashier than normal on Halloween night has become so commonplace that it seems strange to see a girl dressed in a costume that actually looks like a real costume. I can imagine a little girl walking around the neighborhood trick-or-treating with her mom and coming up to the door to see a college-aged girl dressed in a "costume."
"Mommy, is that Dorothy? I don't remember her dressing like that in the movie," a little girl may say.
Or maybe "Daddy, I think that girl forgot to put her pants on with her costume."
I have actually heard kids say things like this before. Children just say what is on their minds based on their natural instinct and if it is common sense even to a child that nobody should have that much leg hanging out of the bottom of the dress, then I think it should be commonsense for a college girl too.
Maybe we need to take a second look at our Halloween costumes and make sure they are appropriate for the situation. I am not saying
you have to dress as a nun for Halloween this year, but just be mindful of what you're wearing and where you are wearing it.
If you are going to be around kids especially, I am sure their parents would love if you would cover just a little more skin. Ten-year-old boys should not have the opportunity to see that much skin of a young woman at their age and parents would definitely attest to that. If you are not going to be around kids, dress how you want to; but know that if you have something showing, people are going to look.
On the topic of modesty in general and specifically at Halloween, so many girls complain that guys stare at them with their eyes drifting from their faces downward. On the defense of guys, many girls are asking for it. A lot of guys say that they don't even want to see all of that, but if you dress with everything showing, of course people are going to look. So if you don't want people looking, then just cover it up; Halloween is no exception.
The point of Halloween costumes is to dress up to look like someone else, and so many girls completely ignore this. Instead of dressing up like someone else, they just find the sluttiest costume they can find. If you're going to do that, so be it, but at least admit it. I wish girls would show some tact and watch what they're wearing. Don't wear revealing costumes around kids, and don't complain when people stare at you when you are intentionally giving them something to look at easily. Have fun with Halloween costumes, but remember to be safe, careful and tasteful!

I walk into the bike dept, and start mentally going down the row (junk, junk, junk, junk, etc etc) I then spot one of the new cheapo "Schwinn road bikes" and decided to go check it out. Yada yada, blue and clear coated aluminum two tone, stem butterfly shifters, steel chainrings. On and on.... My eyes fall on the frame top tube, and something looks familiar. It says PRELUDE!?!?!?! Geez, is no good older Schwinn name safe from the Pacific Cycles bastardization mill?? ,,,,BD

Hi Lin!
Welcome to the guild first of all There definitely is a lot to take in here. The most obvious answer of where to start is the tutorial section I guess. Tutorials/How-To
There area a lot of different approaches you can take and they also all depend on what your end goal is. My advice is to just start with a tutorial and follow it and start learning My other advice is to try to anchor your maps with a bit of realism where possible as that helps with believability regardless of the style. A prime newbie mistake, for example, is not making sure your rivers flow one way into larger bodies of water. Except for delta situations, rivers in the real world never do this.
Anyways, try making some maps and post them on the forum to get feedback and grow as a cartographer from there

I did my first "MTb race" this weekend. It was held in the Vredefort Conservancy in our Free State Province and my Wife and I did the "soft" 49km route. I am hooked!!!! I used my Trek 7200 with 700x35c "knobbly" tyres and managed quite well although the corrugated road hurt my wrists and shoulders quite a lot. I now want to buy a mountainbike and found a new Gary Fisher Tassajara (2003 model) for a very good price. Almost half of what they cost new. It has a Manitou Six fork with a Deore Groupset. I spoke to a few of the LBS's in our area and one of them said that the fork will not be suited for my weight. I weigh 125 kg. I am not sure if he wanted to sell me one of his brand bikes. Another down feature is that GF bikes are not represented in South Africa anymore. Trek bikes are though but spares seem to be a problem. It also seems that I will not have a warranty for this bike. Is this a problem. Other bikes in the same class are 8 speed and Alivio equipped. This seems to be a lot of bike for very little. What do I do? My trek is a 22.5" frame , the GF is only available in XL would the bike fit me?
Keep those wheels spinning!!!!

So Vice published a bunch of photos of porn stars eating yesterday, and they're a lot more interesting than I thought they would be when I first saw the headline. Rather than showing them doing ridiculous things with their food, most of the photos show their subjects doing a regular thing in a regular way, hence humanizing them to the viewer. A lot of them look fairly normal when not in porn get-ups, like someone you might be friends with. It's not surprising to me, but it might be to someone who doesn't know any porn people. More

We thought we'd bump this great event back up to the top: this Saturday, November 13 is our Revealing Nature Through Journaling event at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve. The forecast is calling for a gorgeous day: sunny and 66 degrees, the perfect weather for exploring one of Pittsburgh's natural treasures. Plus, you'll learn how to take that experience of nature home with you without disrupting so much as a leaf.
Your $25 registration gets you:
- A workshop led by Heidi Mullendore, park naturalist for Canoe Creek State Park
- Materials, including your own nature journal to work in and take home
- Lunch
- A 20% discount at the Audubon Nature Store for the day of the workshop
Head over here to register. You can also sign up over the phone at 412-682-7275, ext. 227.

Upgraded from ZCS 6.0.4 to 7.1.2 last night. Everything looks successful from an upgrade standpoint. Having some trouble now with workflow though..
We receive messages into submission mailboxes which are then immediately forwarded to a clearance dept mailbox. Emails are often sent to a few submission mailboxes at a time for business reasons. This method in Zimbra 6 forwarded each email to the clearance mailbox leaving 2 or 3 copies of the email (1 for each original division to be worked seperately of the other division). I guess Zimbra 7 is smarter now as it de-duplicates the emails being forwarded and only leaves us with 1 copy of the email in that clearance box. Is there a setting to change this back so that all emails that are forwarded are sent to the clearance box as it was handled prior? Or any other helpful ideas? Really don't want to roll back for this but it is the major flow of our business.

If he had it his way, DJ Peterson would treat the minor-league ladder like Mike Zunino did. After making short work of Seattle's farm system, Zunino has been the team's most recent first-round major-league baseball draft pick to climb his way up the ranks and don the Mariner uniform.
EVERETT — If he had it his way, DJ Peterson would treat the minor-league ladder like Mike Zunino did. After making short work of Seattle's farm system, Zunino has been the team's most recent first-round major-league baseball draft pick to climb his way up the ranks and don the Mariner uniform.
Peterson is also aware that Zunino spent a month with the Everett AquaSox, Seattle's Class A short season affiliate, before being promoted to AA Jackson. It's not uncommon for a first-round pick to dominate for a club's Single A affiliate — for just a few days in some cases — before moving to the Class AA club.
Yet it's even less common for a first-round pick to find himself inside a major-league clubhouse after a year with the organization.
"He's pretty impressive to get moved up in a year," said Peterson, who was selected 12th by Seattle earlier this month. "My plan is to be up in a year but you never know, it could be two, it could be three, so just going to kind of let player development do what they do best."

Three years after the Mariners initially drafted him in the 33rd round of the 2010 draft, Peterson dressed for Everett's 5-4 home-opening victory Monday at Memorial Stadium against the Tri-City Dust Devils.
Coach Rob Mummau doesn't plan on using the University of New Mexico product for a few games, a period of time that Peterson said he'll use "to get my feet wet."
And who better to do that with than a team nicknamed the AquaSox.
"I knew it was kind of going to be a process … take batting practice, take ground balls, get the signs down, that type of stuff so I had a good idea that was my plan for the first day," Peterson said.
After Seattle drafted Peterson in 2010, the Gilbert, Ariz., native opted to pursue a college degree and signed with New Mexico, where he spent three years as one of the nation's elite power hitters. As a junior, Peterson boasted NCAA top-10 marks in batting average (.408), home runs (18) and runs batted in (72).
He was well aware of the potential to be a top-20 pick, possibly even top 10. Still, Peterson describes a second go-round with the Mariners as fate.
"It's something that we thought was supposed to happen," he said. "I couldn't be any more excited to be a Seattle Mariner."
While Peterson is a natural third baseman, the versatile slugger spent last summer playing on the opposite corner for the U.S. Collegiate National Team.
Mummau has yet to decide where he'll utilize the three-time collegiate All-American.
"That's something I'm going to talk about with our guys. I would say primarily a third baseman, (but I) wouldn't be surprised if he plays over at first base, too," he said.

A Shreveport woman is facing criminal charges after she allegedly stabbed a man Tuesday night in west Shreveport.
Dwanda Taylor, 23, was booked into the Shreveport City Jail.
Just before 11 p.m. Monday, Shreveport Police patrol officers were called to a home located in the 300 block of West 75th Street relative to a male victim who had been stabbed there.
Upon the arrival of officers, contact was made with the victim, 49-year-old Dexter Alexander. Reportedly, Alexander had been stabbed at least once in the mid-section following a dispute at his home just moments before authorities arrived on scene.
The victim was transported by the Shreveport Fire Department to University Health Medical Center where he was last listed in serious but stable condition.
Shreveport Police Violent Crimes detectives arrived on scene at the home and were able to gather details surrounding the incident.
It was learned during the preliminary stages of the investigation, Alexander was present at his home along with Taylor when the stabbing occurred.
Taylor is reported to be involved in a dating relationship with a relative of Alexander's who also resides in the home. Authorities suspect a verbal dispute between Alexander and Taylor ensued in which Taylor allegedly committed a battery on Alexander's person without his consent.
Additional information, along with evidence recovered at the scene of the crime, supports claims Taylor stabbed Alexander with a knife before fleeing the scene on foot.
Police located Taylor at a home a few blocks away where she was taken into custody without incident. She was transported to Shreveport Police Headquarters where she was interviewed by detectives.
Following subsequent interviews with investigators, Taylor was transported to the Shreveport City Jail where she was booked on a single count of Aggravated Battery.

The first week of 2014 coincides with the start of conference play for Stanford (9-3, 0-0 Pac-12), which hosts California (9-4, 0-0 Pac-12) on Thursday night in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. The Cardinal won four of its five December games, concluding a strong non-conference effort that was highlighted by a 53-51 upset at No. 10/10 Connecticut.

Scouting California
California (9-4) is coming off a 90-60 victory over Furman in its most recent contest ... The Golden Bears started 5-0 before suffering back-to-back losses to Syracuse and Dayton in the EA Sports Maui Invitational. California is 0-2 in true road games ... California was picked fifth in the Pac-12 preseason media poll and was receiving votes in both polls during the first couple weeks of November ... California is averaging 74.6 points and 38.5 rebounds per game while shooting 45.9 percent overall. The opposition is averaging 68.8 points and shooting 40.7 percent ... Keep an eye on: Justin Cobbs (14.2 ppg, 82.8 percent FT, 78 assists), David Kravish (11.9 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 57.1 percent FG, 23 blocks), Richard Solomon (11.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 18 steals).
Stanford All-Time Against California
In a series that dates back to the 1913-14 campaign, California owns a 143-116 edge. Stanford has won three of the last four meetings overall, including four of the last five tilts at Maples Pavilion. The Cardinal swept last year's season series for the first time since 2008, winning 69-59 at home and 83-70 in Berkeley. This marks the third time in five years Stanford and California are squaring off in the Pac-12 opener.
Notable Career Totals Against California
Dwight Powell and Chasson Randle have enjoyed success, as both players are shooting exactly 26-58 (44.8 percent) from the field. Powell has compiled that total in seven career matchups, averaging 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds while his 74 points against the Golden Bears are the most against any Pac-12 foe. Randle's offensive production has come over five career games, averaging 15.8 points while his 14 assists are the most against any league foe. Stefan Nastic has scored more points against Cal (11) than any other Pac-12 opponent.
Stanford In Conference Openers
Stanford is 4-6 in conference openers over the last 10 seasons. Prior to last year's 71-69 loss at USC, the Cardinal had won its last two Pac-12 lid-lifters. Stanford's most recent victory in a conference opener was a 60-59 win over UCLA at Maples Pavilion on Dec. 29, 2011. Since the 1978-79 campaign, Stanford is 18-17 in conference openers (13-6 home, 5-11 away).
Projected Sixth In Pac-12 Preseason Poll
Stanford was picked to finish sixth in the 2013-14 Pac-12 preseason media poll. Last year, the Cardinal was projected to finish fourth but tied for sixth at 9-9.
Takeaways From The Cal Poly Game
Stanford shot 58.1 percent overall, connected on 5-10 from three-point territory and converted 24-31 from the foul line. The Cardinal also received near double-doubles from Dwight Powell (15 points, eight rebounds) and Josh Huestis (10 points, nine rebounds) ... Chasson Randle finished with 20 points, aided mainly by a 9-11 effort at the foul line ... Stefan Nastic dominated the post, scoring a career-high 20 points thanks to 7-7 shooting and a 6-6 clip from the foul line. He added four rebounds, three assists and two blocks ... For the third time this year, Stanford received at least 20 points in a game from two players: Randle (33)/Powell (28) vs. BYU and Brown (20)/Powell (20) vs. Houston ... Cal Poly was limited to just 35.4 percent shooting and made just 5-20 from long range ... John Gage has made four straight triples after a 1-10 stretch in seven previous games ... After missing the first 11 games due to a stress fracture, Rosco Allen made his season debut. He was 0-1 from the field with one steal in seven minutes off the bench ... Dwight Powell dished out at least five assists in a game for the sixth time this year ... The Cardinal has made at least one three-pointer in 400 consecutive games dating back to an 0-6 outing against Purdue on Nov. 24, 2001 in the John Wooden Tradition.
Defense Catching Up With The Offense
Once a weakness, Stanford's defense has improved greatly since the start of the year. The Cardinal has used its considerable size advantage to force opponents into difficult looks and obstruct passing lanes. Stanford's play during the month of December served as the perfect example, with all five opponents held to 68 points or fewer and a 53-51 road upset of No. 10/10 Connecticut serving as the signature win.
Starting Five Has Been Impressive
Head coach Johnny Dawkins has employed a starting lineup of Chasson Randle, Anthony Brown, Josh Huestis, Dwight Powell and Stefan Nastic in every game, his longest stretch since sticking with the same five for the final 17 contests of last year. It's easy to see why, as Stanford boasts an experienced starting five capable of reaching double digits every time out. All four starters with the exception of Nastic (8.8 ppg) are averaging double-figure scoring. That being said, the Cardinal must find a way to jump-start its bench.
Offense Has Been Clicking
Stanford has excelled offensively through the first 12 games, reaching the 70-point plateau eight times and shooting at least 50.0 percent in six games. Also, the Cardinal is ranked 25th nationally in field goal percentage and 15th in three-point field goal percentage. It's a sharp contrast to last year's early-season struggles.
Frequent Flyers
Stanford traveled 14,591 miles during non-conference play. After visiting Denver (2,584 miles round trip), the Cardinal embarked on the first of two trips to Brooklyn (5,896 miles round trip) one week later. One month later, Stanford flew to Hartford (3,043 miles one-way) before arriving in Brooklyn (120 miles one-way) via bus the next day. The final leg home from Brooklyn (2,948 miles one-way) completed one of the more grueling non-league swings in Division I.
No. 10 UConn Win Highlights Non-Conference Play
Stanford upset No. 10/10 Connecticut 53-51 on Dec. 18 in Hartford, notching its first road win over a top-10 team since edging No. 9/9 Washington State 67-65 in overtime on Feb. 2, 2008. Trailing 43-30 four minutes into the second half, Stanford limited Connecticut to just 5-31 (16.1 percent) shooting over the final 20 minutes. Connecticut had won 54 straight home games against non-conference foes dating back to 2007. Chasson Randle scored a game-high 22 points while Dwight Powell posted a double-double of 10 points and 15 rebounds.
Home Sweet Home
Stanford is 70-24 at home under head coach Johnny Dawkins. Stanford has reached the 10-win mark at Maples Pavilion for 20 consecutive seasons and is 6-1 on its home court so far.
Randle Returns To Form Of Rookie Year
Chasson Randle appears to have put last year's struggles behind and is performing at a similar level to 2011-12, when he produced one of the best rookie seasons in school history. Randle is averaging a team-high 18.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while shooting 51.4 percent from the field and 80.8 percent from the foul line. His numbers from beyond the arc are also steadily improving, now up to 43.4 percent. Randle has also scored in double figures 11 times, including a career-high 33-point outing against BYU on Nov. 11. Over his last four games, Randle is averaging 19.0 points while shooting 12-20 from beyond the arc and 22-27 from the foul line.
Powell Displays Dynamic All-Around Game
A proven scorer and rebounder, Dwight Powell is averaging 14.3 points and 7.7 rebounds although his free throw percentage (58.5) is slightly behind last year's pace. However, two underrated aspects of his game, which he showed flashes of last year, have looked very impressive early on. For a 6-10 forward, Powell is an excellent passer, dishing out a team-best 50 assists (4.2 per game). He also leads the club with 18 steals. Powell ranked third on the squad in those same two categories last year, so his production this year is no fluke. The preseason accolades continue to roll in, as Powell has been named to the John R. Wooden Award watch list and is one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award.
Brown's Return Provides Immediate Boost
Returning to action after missing all but four games last year due to a hip injury, Anthony Brown has been a key component of the offense. Reaching double figures in nine games, Brown is averaging 13.4 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 52.9 percent from the field. More impressive is Brown's blistering 56.1 percent clip (23-41) from three-point territory. His slashing, attacking style of play has resulted in an 78.9 percent (30-38) ledger from the foul line. A 2011 Pac-10 All-Freshman Team selection, Brown provides Stanford with added length and athleticism while also serving as its best perimeter defender.
Nastic Anchoring The Frontcourt
Playing regularly for the first time in his career, Stefan Nastic is averaging 8.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Nastic has reached double figures in scoring six times, a feat he had accomplished only twice overall in 53 career games prior to this year. He's shooting 60.7 percent, scoring the majority of his buckets on high-percentage shots inside the paint. Nastic is a capable free throw shooter (72.1 percent) who has a knack for frustrating his defender and drawing contact. He must continue to improve on the glass, having totaled fewer rebounds (32) than free throw attempts (43) and field goal tries (61).
Huestis' Strong Defensive Play Continues
The front-runner for Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Josh Huestis is averaging 11.5 points and a team-best 8.2 rebounds in his annual quest to become the first Cardinal player to average a double-double since Curtis Borchardt (16.9 ppg, 11.4 rpg) in 2001-02. Huestis nearly accomplished the feat last year, averaging 10.5 points and 9.0 rebounds while compiling nine double-doubles. With 29 swats already this year, Huestis ranks third in school history with 150 career blocks. He's also shooting 43.5 percent (10-23) from three-point territory. Only three players boast career marks of at least 500 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks: Huestis (755, 637, 150), Tim Young (1544, 1070, 167) and Howard Wright (1599, 860, 121).
Cardinal Cashing In At The Foul Line
Stanford is converting at 70.5 percent from the foul line while averaging 23.4 attempts per game. Chasson Randle (59-73, 80.8 percent) and Anthony Brown (30-38, 78.9 percent) lead the way, as five players have already tallied at least 25 free throw attempts. The aggressive backcourt has done a solid job of driving the lane while the frontcourt is battling on the glass and routinely drawing contact. Stanford shot free throws at a 74.3 percent clip last year, good for 35th nationally and the best mark in school history since a 76.3 percent clip in 2005-06.
Bright Is Latest Injury Casualty
Three players are out for the year, with Aaron Bright (dislocated right shoulder) the most recent addition to a list that already includes Andy Brown (torn right ACL) and Christian Sanders (hip). Bright, who will undergo season-ending surgery later this week, is completing coursework toward an undergraduate degree in science, technology and society and is expected to graduate in June. The MVP of Stanford's 2012 Postseason NIT championship run, Bright averaged 8.7 points and 3.0 assists in 105 career games while his 316 career assists rank 10th in school history. Meanwhile, Rosco Allen (stress fracture) returned to the court against Cal Poly.
Latest Set Of Twins
Freshmen guards Malcolm Allen and Marcus Allen are only the fourth set of twins to play varsity basketball at Stanford since 1960. Twin seven-footers Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez (Fresno, Calif./San Joaquin Memorial HS) played two seasons together before both were selected in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft. All-Americans Jarron Collins and Jason Collins (North Hollywood, Calif./Harvard-Westlake HS) also both went on to play in the NBA after successful four-year stints on The Farm that included an NCAA Final Four appearance in 1998. Twins Don Clemetson and Doug Clemetson (Richmond, Calif./Harry Ellis HS) competed on Stanford's varsity squad from 1960-62 after playing together on the freshman team the previous season.
Top-15 Recruiting Class Signed For Next Year
Head coach Johnny Dawkins has announced the signing of four incoming student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. The group will join the Cardinal for the 2014-15 campaign. The class is recognized as one of the best in the country, currently ranked as high as No. 9 by ESPN.com, No. 14 by Scout.com and No. 15 by Rivals.com. Robert Cartwright (Pasadena, Calif.), Michael Humphrey (Phoenix, Ariz.), Dorian Pickens (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Reid Travis (Minneapolis, Minn.) are projected as top-100 players and four-star recruits by multiple services. This year's group represents the second top-15 class for Stanford in five years.
Cardinal Debuts Google Glass Technology
Prior to its annual Cardinal-White scrimmage on Oct. 24, Stanford became the first team to debut the revolutionary Google Glass product in real-time action during warm-ups. In conjunction with the CrowdOptic platform technology, season ticket holders in attendance were able to view the action through the student-athletes' perspective simply by pointing their mobile device in the direction of the court. They were also able to join a Google+ hangout or view through their own Google Glass.
Season Scoring
For the 12th straight year in 2012-13, a different player led Stanford in scoring. This time around, it was Dwight Powell taking the honors with a team-best 14.9 points per game. The last player to lead the Cardinal in multiple years was Casey Jacobsen (1999-2000, 2000-2001, 2001-02).

Welcome to Sissinghurst Castle Garden Part II.
The Cottage garden was the first garden made at Sissinghurst after it was purchased by Harold Nicholson and Vita Sackville-West. There are 4 huge yew pillars standing watch in the center of the garden. The garden is packed with hot-colored flowers in shades of yellow, orange and red. It's a wonderfully bright, inspiring space.
The South Cottage (pictured above) was the first building made habitable at Sissinghurst. The cottage garden stands at its door step. The white rose 'Madame Alread Carriere' was planted against the cottage wall on the actual day in 1930 that Harold and Vita purchased Sissinghurst. Amazingly, that rose thrives today and can be seen in this photograph.
I love the hot color scheme in this garden with the burnt orange sunflowers, brilliant yellow yarrow and red blanket flower. The dark green yews and boxwood make the perfect back drop.
Everything looks so brilliant and alive in this space.
The planting at Sissinghurst is amazing. The huge drifts of plants form great tapestries of color that leave you breathless.
The focal point in the center of the garden is a huge antique copper pot overflowing with African daisies.
The verbascum are taller than me (the tall yellow flowered plant shown above).
You can see the dead blooms of Siberian iris and poppies in the foreground of this photo. You don't even notice a blank space in the planting with the iris and poppies gone because the garden is jammed packed with plants.
I am not 100% certain this photograph is taken in the Cottage garden. I included it because I love the salmon color scheme shown here. The flowers on the right highlight the salmon in the centers of the day lilies on the left, creating a beautiful color arrangement.

is it my imagination or is there one on top of the press box?
I think it is KCCI channel 8 in Des Moines that has that one.
One of the channels has it. They use it for time lapse captures for weather usually but sometimes you might catch film of Jack Trice filling and emptying on a newscast.
Heres one you can watch the Alumni building be built... Exciting stuff

I want to see the field!
I am not going to be able to sleep tonight.
Channel 8 has one and I think 5 & 13 either had or have one.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

I would like to request the services of a skilled cartographer. I am working on a extensive D&D campaign and will need several maps drawn up. The first map will be a world map and consists of a large continent, a medium continent, and several islands. This is a WIP and I will need some regional maps drawn up as well. The name of the campaign is called Shadow Earth and the name of the world is called Eldor.
As far as time constraints go I would like to get this project started at the beginning of June, and finished within 3 months time. I dont have a particular style in mind, just want a nice detailed colorful map.
Telara - These 2 islands are inhabited by the Angelic beings known as Ariels. The islands are forested with mountains. The Ariels dwell in the peaks of the largest mountains of Telara.
Grom - The jungles of Grom extend from the southern tip of the eastern continent to the archipelego islands west of the main continent. These jungles have mountains and have extensive volcanic activity. Here the reptilian Sarions dwell in their temples.
Dreknar - This is the desert region of the eastern continent and the mighty Orcs dwell here. Their capital city is called Drekna.
Enara - This island is inhabited by High Elves and is heavily forested. The capital city is hidden with elven enchantments and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Varnak - Here dwell the Dark Elves of Eldor. The High Elves and Dark Elves are at war and loath each other. Their capital city is also hidden with dark elven enchantments, and cannot be seen.
Arynthia - This extensive forest is inhabited by the Wood Elves. The capial city is hidden by powerful elven enchantments and cannot be seen.
Faldor - This region is where the Gnomes and Dwarves live. The Gnomes live on the Western side of the bay while the Dwarves live on the Eastern. Pass #1 & #2 have dwarven forts there and the main dwarven citadel is just north of pass #2.
Uldor - This is where the Human Highlanders live. They have a castle located strategically on the southern part of the kingdom.
Taberon - This is the kingdom of the Raven and the main walled city is called "Ravenscar". This kingdom relies on farming and fishing from the port town on the eastern coast. The Knights of the Raven are located in a castle which defends pass #4.
Validan - This is mainly a farming community with hamlets dispersed around the country. Mining is also a major resource for the kingdom. There is a castle guarding pass #3.
Talidar - Here dwell the Knights of Talidar. Farming and timber are the major resources of the area.
Narghos - This is the home of the Giants of Eldor. Here they dwell in their castle. They are at war with the Dwarves of Faldor.
Mogra - This area is heavily forested with hills and the Goblins of Eldor dwell here.
Embara - The Gypsies dwell here and are rumored to be in league with the Vampires of Tyrak. Fishing and timber are the major resources of the area.
Tyrak - This is the region where the Vampires dwell. Pass #5 is guarded by a fort which is almost impregnable. In the northwestern section of Tyrak is the Vampires Fortress.
Black Forest - A dark and mysterious area rumored to be inhabited by Lycans.
Desolatia - An extensive wasteland inhabited by masses of Undead.
Quality & Size: I want this to be a professional map. Not too familiar with map sizes, but dont want a huge map. Just enough space to achieve the detail necessary for the project.
Copyright: I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
Note: If you are interested in doing this PM me via this forum and I will email you a copy of the world map sketch, and we can discuss this in further detail. My budget for this world map is around $150 US Dollars.

Ernst F. W. Alexanderson, the foremost one to be honoured, was unfortunately not credited with his full name in the UNESCO declaration. Without Alexanderson, designer of the radio equipment and the antenna system, SAQ would never have succeeded in attaining world heritage status; this publication will show his role. SAQ is unique in another way being the only world heritage object to be visited far away by DX radio reception.
It started in the 19th century
In the 1860's James Clerk Maxwell, then at King's College in London, wrote a letter to his cousin saying: "I have a paper afloat which, til convinced to the contrary, I hold to be great guns." In the 1870's, he published his theory on electromagnetic waves which was confirmed experimentally by Heinrich Hertz ten years later.
Nikola Tesla's work on AC for power and light applications included high frequency alternators and already in the early 1890's he foresaw transatlantic wireless telegraphy employing continuous waves (CW). In May 1895, Alexander Popow demonstrated a receiver to predict arriving thunderstorms. It is rumoured and may well be true that he had sent wireless signals to ships, a fact then concealed by the Imperial Russian Navy.
Physicists and other scientists considered that this electromagnetic radiation was an interesting phenomena, no more. Guglielmo Marconi, an engineer and entrepreneur, realized that these waves could be used for wireless communication. In September 1895, he made his first experiments and, in 1901, he covered the Atlantic. Marconi became regarded by all, including Popow, as the father of radio, and was awarded the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Karl Ferdinand Braun, "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy." The word "radio" (from Latin radius, spoke) was used already by Hertz, but it took some decades until it was generally accepted as the most common expression.
In the beginning, emissions were generated by electric sparks producing damped waves, i. e. the signal amplitude decreased with time until the next spark occurred after about a millisecond. All stations were on longwave (for intercontinental traffic VLF, Very Low Frequencies; for shorter distances LF, Low Frequencies). Shortwave transmitters (HF, High Frequencies) did not appear until the 1920's.
This system was restricted to morse telegraphy and had a wide radio spectrum limiting the number of stations on the air. At the turn of the century, constant amplitude CW became possible with the Poulsen electric arc converter and Goldschmidt, Arco-Slaby, Béthenod-Latour and Alexanderson types of rotary machinery. In the 1920's, transmitting tubes had arrived and the famous Rugby station used these from its start in 1925.

Ahhh yes, a place where I can channel my inner CY and be surrounded by people who think the same! Although I have only been reading front page stories and skimming threads, I have decided to finally join the ranks of other cyclone faithful. I hope to learn more about all of you in the future, but for now, here's a little about me.
- Name: Keith
- Born and raised in Harlan, IA (the OTHER Cyclone country)!
- Currently have the displeasure of living in the heart of Husker country, with the Nebraska Toxic Waste Disposal Site (which they prefer to call Memorial Stadium) a mere 10 minute drive from my house. Anybody willing to put my wife and I in a room for a short time so we can relocate back to the area would be much appreciated.
- Spent two years in Community College (Iowa Western and Kirkwood) before coming to Iowa State in 2004; graduated in 2007 with a B.S. Degree in Community and Regional Planning. Activities included College of Design's Career Days (Tech Support Chair) and Frederiksen Court Community Council Member/Secretary.
- My family had absolutely no college football allegiance, or even favorite team before I graced the lands of ISU. Now, my parents are at least moderate cyclone supporters and becoming bigger and bigger fans of ol' Cardinal and Gold each year!
Looking forward to meeting all of you as well! GO STATE!
You are now addicted. There is no cure.
You went to Kirkwood and aren't a Hawk fan? I suppose there's a first time for everything...
= sarcasm
I like to think that eastern iowa likes the Hawkeyes, central iowa likes the Cyclones, western iowa is a free-for-all...or at least anybody who beats Nebraska.
At least I went to the Cedar Rapids campus...
ever had a vasectamy in 3 seconds........??????? .....I do not think you will be dissapointed....
Welcome aboard, Keith! Robert (brother bob) here.
You have just entered the cyclonefanatic zone...Don't dispair - it truly is a lot of fun!
Addictive? Yes. Bad for your health? Well that depends upon your wife and her willingness to let you visit as often as I do. Bad for my health? Yes, because my wife hates it when I come here...Could be worse I tell her, at least it's not the local bar/club and it's not like I'm doing something naughty.
Here you will find lots of different people. You have your loyal fans, your casual fans, some hok fans, and even some trolls.
OH,BEWARE OF THE TROLLS! And for what it's worth, don't feed the trolls. This will only keep them around with total stupidity to follow. There are several fanatics here who can sniff a troll out within the first few words or lines and it amazes me when they do this...attacks can get brutal.
So with that said...or typed, welcome to the site.
Cyclone fan since 1964 and proud of it!

St Helena's airport is confirmed – is it a blessing?
By Catherine Leech, Director, 101 Holidays
As St Helena is finally assured by the British Government that the much-talked-of airport is to become a reality, I can't help but reflect on and consider the impact on this exquisite but remote gem of an island.
When I was fortunate enough to visit St Helena in September 2009, I met a family who told me about the realities of life there.
Several years before, their young daughter lay critically ill in St Helena's hospital with a severe abdominal infection following an accident. The hospital had tried three of the 4 antibiotics they had in stock (on the entire island) but her condition was worsening. The RMS St Helena, the island's sole means of access, was about to set sail for Cape Town – a 6 day journey.
They had to make a swift but unenviable decision – to risk the 4th antibiotic not working and her probable death or a 6 day voyage in the ship's hospital in order to reach a better-equipped hospital in Cape Town.
The outcome was a happy one – they opted to stay and their daughter responded to the 4th antibiotic.
No other story so clearly outlined to me the sometimes harsh reality of living on one of the planet's most remote islands without air access, something that we so easily take for granted.
For the 4,000 or so St Helenians who live there, air access means not only the ability to travel more readily and access emergency support when needed, but it is also to serve as the catalyst to usher in a new era for tourism and other economic development.
I was there on behalf of DFID to prepare a five-year tourism development plan based on sea-borne tourism opportunities – this was at a time when the British Government had put on hold the airport decision, having previously given it the nod, and it's fair to say that the mood on island was one of uncertainty, despair and anger. The population was dwindling as St Helenians left to find work opportunities elsewhere and the island's astonishing, largely Georgian, built heritage was crumbling.
I had to tread carefully – I was there to look, listen, ask questions, assess and analyse in order to put a coherent and meaningful strategy together but the endless stream of consultants, advisors and experts over the years had rendered most of those whom I met deeply, and understandably, sceptical at best.
The pro-airport camp will be delighted by the latest decision. The long-term objective is to lessen the (considerable) financial burden on British tax payers by opening up the island for development and, ultimately, self-sustainability. The anti-camp will be fearful of the impact of 'planeloads' of tourists descending on their tiny island, developers being allowed to despoil the natural beauty of the place and the peaceful, gentle pace of life eroding.
My own conclusion, albeit after only 8 days on-island, is that St Helena has a heritage of international importance which could, if carefully managed, become a magnet for niche 'high value, low volume' tourism with knock-on benefits for the entire population – which in turn should regenerate as expat St Helenians return home to invest and work in their own country.
To quote from my report: "St Helena's single key asset is her wealth and diversity of built and natural heritage within one remote 47 square mile island and country 1,200 miles from the nearest continental landmass….. To have such wealth in such a small space would be the envy of much of the rest of the world – entire tourism industries in many countries are built on far less.
"Consider batteries, forts and cannons, an intact Georgian working town, trading and military history, an authentic wealth of touch-it, feel-it Napoleonic heritage, historic country houses, slave graves, the Boer cemetery, endemic flora and fauna, scenery which includes cloud forest, desert, sculpted volcanic rocks, woodland and staggering coastal scenery – and possibly the world's oldest living Giant Tortoise. All of this is underpinned by the genuine warmth, culture and charm of Saint Helenians."
It is my firm view that, with improved access, a sustainable tourism industry which is entirely predicated on heritage can be successfully, and gradually, developed – but only if existing historic buildings are sensitively restored, the natural environment protected and new development by Saint Helenians and foreign investors is appropriately controlled within the heritage framework.
I keep abreast of development via the island's only independent newspaper and I am in no doubt that the airport on St Helena could prove to be the catalyst for a sustainable future which could help preserve, restore and allow others to share in its matchless built and natural heritage.
However, whilst I am aware that steps are in place to ensure an investor-friendly infrastructure, I don't underestimate the need for strict control (and local buy-in) especially when it comes to any new builds.
I hope to return one day to stay in one of St Helena's many historic buildings, currently crumbling but with the potential to be restored as characterful hotels, inns and lodges to suit all budgets. The Consulate and Farm Lodge Country House Hotel are both examples of what can be done with the existing buildings.
What a special place – I have worked in travel for close to 30 years but nowhere has touched me in the way that St Helena and the St Helenian people have done. I only hope that the uniquely charming RMS St Helena, which triples up as a cruise ship, virtual ferry and cargo vessel, will not disappear. The voyage (I sailed from Cape Town to St Helena and then on to Ascension Island) is as much an ingredient of St Helena's magical spell as the place itself.
Don't miss out...

I was wondering when you guys run errands (grocery store, target, wal-mart, etc.) if you wear cycling shoes to walk around inside of the store. It's a pain to carry a pair of shoes just to walk around a store for maybe 15-30 minutes and then get them to fit in my cheap crappy pannier stuffed full of groceries.
Besides accelerating cleat wear (I have mtb shoes so the cleat is kind of recessed), does walking in cycling shoes harm them in any way? Such as wearing on the stiff sole, etc.?
The shoes I have are these:
The only reason I'm so worried about them is they were super expensive (90 bucks from LBS). I know there are much cheaper shoes online, but these are my first pair of cycling shoes ever and I wanted to try them on before buying. Thanks!

A sarcomere is the basic unit of a muscle's cross-striated myofibril. Sarcomeres are multi-protein complexes composed of three different filament systems.
A muscle cell, from a biceps, may contain 100,000 sarcomeres. The myofibrils of smooth muscle cells are not arranged into sarcomeres.
The sarcomeres are what give skeletal and cardiac muscles their striated appearance.
The relationship between the proteins and the regions of the sarcomere are as follows:
Upon muscle contraction, the A-bands maintain their length (1.6 micrometer in mammalian skeletal muscle) whereas the I-bands shorten.
The A-band, I-band and Z-line are the only components visible at the light-microscope level.
The protein tropomyosin covers the myosin binding sites of the actin molecules in the muscle cell. To allow the muscle cell to contract, tropomyosin must be moved to uncover the binding sites on the actin. Calcium ions bind with troponin molecules (which are dispersed throughout the tropomyosin protein) and alter the structure of the tropomyosin, forcing it to reveal the cross bridge binding site on the actin. The concentration of calcium within muscle cells is controlled by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a unique form of endoplasmic reticulum. Muscle contraction ends when calcium ions are pumped back out of the sarcomere.
Skeletal muscle only contracts when an impulse is received from a motor neuron. During stimulation of the muscle cell, the motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which travels across the neuromuscular junction (the synapse between the terminal bouton of the neuron and the muscle cell). The action potential then travels along T (transverse) tubules until it reaches the sarcoplasmic reticulum; the action potential from the motor neuron changes the permeability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing the flow of calcium ions into the sarcomere. The outflow of calcium allows the myosin heads access to the actin cross bridge binding sites, permitting muscle contraction.
At rest, the myosin head is bound to an ATP molecule in a low-energy configuration and is unable to access the cross bridge binding sites on the actin. However, the myosin head can hydrolyze ATP into ADP and an inorganic phosphate ion. A portion of the energy released in this reaction changes the shape of the myosin head and promotes it to a high-energy configuration. Through the process of binding to the actin, the myosin head releases ADP and inorganic phosphate ion, changing its configuration back to one of low energy. As the filament of actin moves away from the myosin head and back toward the center of the sarcomere, the myosin head is unable to preserve its bond with the actin. After cross bridge dissociation, ATP binds with the myosin head and the head is ready for another cycle of muscle contraction.
Most muscle cells only store enough ATP for a small number of muscle contractions. While muscle cells also store glycogen, most of the energy required for contraction is derived from phosphagens. One such phosphagen is creatine phosphate, which is used to provide ADP with a phosphate group for ATP synthesis in vertebrates.
