Professors Kylie Hsu and San-pao Li Introducing Chinese Culture and Literature
The BA degree in Chinese program is designed to provide students with the functional skills necessary to teach, to engage in international business, private industry, and government agencies, or to pursue graduate studies in higher education. One of our goals is to have the program certified for preparing students in Chinese subject matters so that they can pursue a California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Chinese.
Students majoring in Chinese must complete a total of 69 quarter units: One lower-division and 36 upper-division required units, and an additional 32 upper-division elective units. The required units include courses in advanced grammar (Chinese 300AB), linguistics (Chinese 305 and 315), culture and civilization (Chinese 310), classical Chinese language (Chinese 401), literature (Chinese 408, 410) and an upper-division writing course Modern Languages 400. The 32 elective units include Chinese language for special purposes such as news media (Chinese 322) and business (Chinese 380), in-depth topics on linguistics (Chinese 320, 403, and 451), literature (Chinese 402, 420, 422, 428, 430, 452, and 460), and other specific topics (Chinese 350 and 426). Additionally, courses in early field experience in language teaching (Modern Languages 396) and current approaches to teaching and assessment (Modern Languages 403) are designed for students who wish to pursue a single subject teaching credential.
The Chinese major is a balanced program that includes language, culture and civilization, literature, and linguistics courses. Lower-division courses (100ABC and 200ABC) stress skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing a limited number of characters and simple compositions, as well as culture. Upper-division courses at the 300 level emphasize a range of topics like advanced grammar, linguistics, culture and civilization, and specialized language use such as business Chinese. The 400 level courses delve into classical Chinese language, all genres of literature, and advanced studies in translation and film. Also included are proseminars that analyze important works, authors, or topics in depth. The lower-division courses serve students who wish to satisfy their GE requirements, increase their knowledge of grammar and writing, or prepare themselves to major in the language. These courses help students to develop their basic communicative skills, knowledge of language structures, and cultural awareness. Placement, when necessary, is determined by an oral interview and/or a placement examination. Upper-division courses emphasize, in addition to proficiency in oral and written Chinese, strengthening of reading, writing, and grammatical structures, as well as in-depth understanding of Chinese culture, thought, and arts.
Students minoring in Chinese must complete a minimum of 32 quarter units. The minor program consists of 12 lower-division required units, 16 upper-division required units, and 4-16 elective units. The number of elective units will vary depending upon the level at which a student begins his/her program. Although courses may be waived to reflect a student's preparation as determined by previous course work completed or by the Department's placement examination, unit credit may not be given for the waived courses.

Jackets Advance to NCAA Quarterfinals with 4-2 Win Over Texas
Tech will play Florida Saturday at 5 p.m. CT
May 16, 2008
TULSA, Okla. - Kirsten Flower completed a singles comeback for the Yellow Jackets as No. 3 Georgia Tech (22-5) recovered after dropping the doubles point to pull out a 4-2 win over No. 19 Texas (20-7) Thursday in the Round of 16 of the 2008 NCAA Women's Tennis Championships.
"It was such a great match," said head coach Bryan Shelton. "Texas came out and played really well. They fought hard and really pushed us to the limit. Our girls really stepped up at the right time, and it was nice to see."
Christy Striplin, Kristi Miller, Amanda McDowell and Flower all notched straight-set singles wins to help the Yellow Jackets advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the second-consecutive season. Tech will face the University of Florida Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla.
With the Jackets trailing 0-2 after Texas won two of three doubles matches in addition to recording a straight-set win at No. 6 singles, Striplin gave Tech its first point of the match by dropping Caroline Larsson, 6-3, 6-2, at the No. 4 singles line.
Kristi Miller tied the match at 2-2 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Vanja Corovic atop the singles lineup before Amanda McDowell gave Tech its first lead of the match with a 6-2, 6-4 victory against Courtney Zauft.
"Christy, Amanda and Kristi all stepped up really well tonight, and Kirsten was just tough as nails down the stretch," Shelton added.
Flower stopped Texas' Maggie Mello with a 6-4, 6-4 win at the No. 5 spot to clinch match point for the Yellow Jackets.
Tech managed just one doubles win on the day as Striplin and Flower stopped the Longhorn's tandem of Mello and Zauft, 8-6, at No. 3 doubles, but the Jackets' No. 2 line of Whitney McCray and Noelle Hickey couldn't pull off the comeback win, falling to Stephanie Dawson and Caroline Larsson, 8-6.
The Jackets now turn their attention to the University of Florida, a team that the Yellow Jackets have never faced before in the dual-match format.
"We are going to have another tough match, but it is nice that we have the day in between since we are finishing up so late," Shelton said. "We will work hard to sharpen up a few things and are excited to get back out there for the quarterfinals."

RevWizard et al,
I contacted Revolution, and received a quick, friendly reply. (as expected from reading other comments on this board about their customer service)
I got some answers to my inquiries, and I thought I would pass them along, if you are interested.
What year were the made? 1995 or so. (I was fairly sure I bought the kite before 1996)
How many were made? A few hundred. (I think I made a good choice taking into account that the Advantage Classic was the second two line kite I ever owned)
Price? About $250.00. Kite only, no lines. (It's been 17 years, but $235.00 is the number that pops in my head.)
And finally the most important question, does this kite count toward the answer to the question, "How many Rev's do you own?" Kinda, a little bit. But the question refers to our 4 Line Revolutions. (Can I say Half-Rev or perhaps a Step-Rev?)
Thanks for all the replies. I still haven't gotten to take the Rev 1.5 SLE out to play, but I did fly some SLK's with line laundry last weekend.

Hi everybody: Here's an update -
- The Ignore, Edit, colored fonts, etc. will be back.
- The disappearance of comments on most blogs is a glitch that our devs are working on right now.
- The bad words filter is acting funky ... I'm going to run some tests and grab some screenshots for tech.
Suggestion: instead of sending a message that certain words be disallowed it might be easier to simply allow the post but with the offensive word looking in the post like this: *****. That way the person posting can choose to either go back in and edit out the word that was not accepted or else leave it to the reader's imagination.

I've never seen a couple, married or just dating, who both have red hair.
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single
student before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had
insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one
would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said OK, we will
have an experiment in this class on socialism.
So, no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little
had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a
free ride too; so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No
one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all
resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All
failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism
would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort
to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one
will try or want to succeed. It could NOT be any simpler than that…
A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank
you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food
stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such
a beautiful country here in America."
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes
his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America!"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East. I am not
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa."
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."

Penguins Feet are in many ways like a wild ducks feet…
You see ducks of all breeds out in freezing winter weathers on rivers and ponds… they do not freeze thier feet either..
Penguins have two areas where their body is very poorly insulated and where they can lose a lot of heat, these are their flippers and their feet. These areas give penguins at the same time a problem and a solution. A problem because of the heat loss, and a solution because they can be used for cooling down. It's all well and good being brilliantly insulated, but when you use a lot of energy and so generate heat, or the temperature rises, not being able to lose that heat becomes a big disadvantage in itself…
The muscles that operate feet and flippers are not located in the feet and flippers, but deeper in the warmer regions of the penguins body. The feet and flippers are moved by tendons that pass through them and attach to toes etc. like a sort of remote operation by wire or string. This means that it doesn't matter if the feet and flippers get really cold as they can still be operated normally by regions that are fully functional and at normal body temperature.
Penguins have a heat-exchange blood-flow to these regions. The warm blood entering the feet or flippers flows past cold blood leaving so warming it up in the process and cooling the blood entering at the same time. Blood in these parts is significantly colder than in the rest of the body. By the time the blood re-enters the rest of the body it has been warmed up and so doesn't have so great an effect on the core body temperature.
Penguins feet are never allowed to get below freezing point, blood flow is finely adjusted so that they are kept just above. When it gets very cold, the feet are covered by the feathers and fat layer of the body so they are not exposed to cooling winds. So while a man standing barefoot on ice would quickly get frostbitten, penguins can do so all their lives with no damage at all. Pretty cool eh! This is the same for Ducks and Geese in Winter.
At low temperatures or when in the sea, the blood flow to feet and flippers is very low anyway so reducing heat loss further. When the penguin needs to lose heat quickly, the blood flow to these extremities is increased and so lots of warm blood enters them which cools quickly so dumping excess heat rapidly and efficiently.
ALSO penguins stand on tip-toes when it's really cold, they rock backwards on their heels, holding their toes up. How do they stop themselves from falling over backwards? They support themselves by their stiff tail feathers that have no blood flow and so lose no heat.
Emperor penguins live in probably the most extreme conditions endured by any warm-blooded animal on earth. They even breed in the depths of the Antarctic winter at temperatures of -30?C (-22?F) and below while putting up with winds of 200 kmh (125mph) and more which gives a wind chill factor that you don't even want to think about that would freeze exposed human flesh in seconds.

KOLKATA: Silver in India, the poor man's gold, is witnessing a reverse trend compared to the world market where a slump in silver prices has spurred demand.
In India, the demand for silver jewellery has dropped significantly and the investment demand for the metal has almost dried up despite the price falling to Rs 46,000 per kg. This may bring down the country's import of silver by 12% to 2,200 tonne this year from 2,500 tonne last year.

No stranger to Lubbock or Texas Tech, Greg Evans returns to the Red Raider dugout this spring for his first season as an assistant softball coach.
Arguably one of the top infield coaches in the country, Evans was an assistant baseball coach for nine seasons at Tech under longtime skipper Larry Hays before moving to Oklahoma State where he most recently served an additional nine seasons as the associate head coach.
This will be the first coaching stint in softball for Evans, who will serve as Tech's first base and infield coach while also assisting with recruiting and the program's summer camps.
Evans, who goes by the nickname "Emo," began his career at Tech in 1993 with the first of two stints as a Red Raider baseball assistant. He coached three seasons with the Red Raiders prior to being named the head coach at Grayson County College in 1996.
After spending the 1997 season as an area scout for the Montreal Expos, Evans made his return to Lubbock a year later where he would remain for the next six years until departing to join Frank Anderson's staff at Oklahoma State in time for the 2004 season.
During his two stretches in the Red Raider dugout, Tech combined to go 371-174 (.681 winning percentage) overall with seven 40-win seasons and six trips to the NCAA Tournament.
The Red Raiders claimed the final Southwest Conference regular season and tournament titles in 1995, marking the program's first-ever conference title in what would be the start of Tech's most successful stretch in program history. Tech closed 1995 with a program-record 51 wins and would later secure the Big 12 Tournament title in 1998 as well.
In his 18 seasons as a Division-I assistant coach, Evans has been part of 12 teams that have advanced to the postseason as the Cowboys were selected to an NCAA Regional six times during his tenure. Oklahoma State also advanced to its first Super Regional since 1999 during the 2007 season as the Cowboys fell a win shy of advancing to Omaha and the College World Series.
During his time at both Tech and Oklahoma State, Evans helped produce several of the top defenses in the country as the Red Raiders ranked among the top five teams nationally in 1999 for fielding percentage with a .971 mark.
Tech regularly ranked among the top fielding teams in the Big 12 during his tenure as the Red Raiders led the conference in 2001 before finishing third a year later and second in 2003. Four of the program's top 10 fielding percentages all-time came under Evans' tutelage with three of those years resulting in an average of .970 or better.
His Cowboy defenses had similar success as well with seven seasons of a fielding percentage above a .970 clip, including an impressive .980 average from 2012 that ranked third nationally and snapped the single-season OSU record.
It was the fourth time in Evans' tenure that the Cowboys had tied or set the school record after posting a .974 fielding percentage in 2008 followed by a .976 clip in 2009 and then a .978 mark in 2010 that also ranked fifth in the country.
The only two seasons where Oklahoma State did not record a fielding percentage of .970 or better came in 2004 and 2006 when the Pokes finished with a .969 average that still ranked among the Big 12 leaders.
In addition to his work as infield coach, Evans has also been known as a top-flight recruiter as he helped sign a 2004 class at Oklahoma State that ranked fourth nationally by Collegiate Baseball and seventh by Baseball America. The Cowboys secured another top-10 ranking by both publications again in 2006 before pulling in the No. 15 rated class in 2010.
Evans began his career as an assistant coach at crosstown Lubbock Christian University where he spent three seasons from 1988-90 before being named the head coach at Frank Phillips College. Evans went 64-46 in his two seasons with the Plainsmen while snapping the school record with 39 wins in 1992.
The Boyle, Miss. native joined the coaching profession after a four-year playing career at Ole Miss where he spent time at second and third base as well as in the outfield. He graduated from Ole Miss in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in public administration and then earned his master's in sports administration from Tech in 1987.
During the summers, Evans was a regular on the fastpitch circuit, playing alongside most of the Hays family in several of the top men's tournaments across the country.
Evans is the father of Kathryn Evans and currently resides in Lubbock.

Victories, if not advances
National | President Bush came to office with a press-shaped reputation as a bumbler, but his first six months have put his predecessor's early record to shame
in Washington-As George W. Bush headed out the White House doors for his ranch in Crawford, Texas, the change of scenery led to a chorus of grousing from beat reporters. After summering with the Clintons on Martha's Vineyard, they wondered why this president would choose to imprison them for weeks in what they view as a barren, wind-swept, heatstroke-inducing spot on the Texas prairie. The ranch could also serve as a metaphor for George W. Bush's most devoted critics, who with little understanding of Texas (see "Texas Books," page 15) think wide-open spaces go with empty brains. But people in Washington who've seen the president in action for six months now have learned that Mr. Bush is nobody's dummy, and his ninth-inning legislative successes in the House of Representatives before the August recess left his critics cursing and vowing to fight again in the fall. This, after all, was supposed to be a president whose narrow election would force him to trim sails and make deals and meet Democrats in the capital's chummy, more-government "middle." Confounded by his success in passing a tax cut much larger than they wanted, most Democrats began grousing that his conservative stands somehow were surprises instead of campaign promises. Then the crumbling of the 50-50 Senate with the defection of Sen. Jim Jeffords started a new cycle of conventional wisdom: Mr. Bush would now have to sign over his agenda to the most liberal elements of his party if he wanted any more achievements for his list of talking points. It has worked that way in a couple of areas, education and the faith-based initiative, but on other policy matters TeamBush was more creative, finding new allies in strange places. Thanks to lobbying and even radio commercials from the Teamsters union, the House passed an energy bill, including a contentious provision to explore for oil in a tiny patch of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). A series of meetings with Rep. Charles Norwood, an otherwise conservative politician with a passion for a so-called "patients' bill of rights," led to a less lawyer-pleasing HMO-regulation bill that passed the House. In addition to a sunnier approval rating, the first six months of the supposedly bumbling Mr. Bush look much different than the beginning of his supposedly brainier predecessor: Energy: From the early days of his presidency, prognosticators said George W. Bush wouldn't get ANWR exploration passed by the House. But backed by a coalition of energy providers and labor unions, the energy bill passed by a strong 240-189 margin. Among its provisions, the bill would offer $33.5 billion in tax cuts and incentives for energy production, mandate a small increase in fuel efficiency for sport-utility vehicles and light trucks, as well as OK the drilling in Alaska. Rep. Don Young of Alaska scolded opponents, noting how popular drilling is with the Alaskans, while House Minority Whip David E. Bonior (D-Mich.) sputtered, "This is a cathedral of nature-a national heritage." The main factor with the 36 Democrats who crossed the aisle to vote with Mr. Bush was the Teamsters' campaign. A radio commercial that aired in Pennsylvania and West Virginia complained: "Why are some folks who call themselves environmentalists so intolerant and excessive? Don't they know that if we want to stabilize prices we have to carefully find and develop new energy sources?" The union's energy specialists see the potential for 735,000 new jobs in the petroleum industry. Conservatives were impressed with the victory, and the new coalition. "I never thought this would pass the House," said Christopher Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. "Now the president should take this approach beyond ANWR to fuel-efficiency standards and global warming." The Teamsters, as well as electrical workers, auto workers, coal miners, and other unions have opposed the environmental left when their proposals threaten the loss of jobs. Eight years ago, Mr. Clinton struggled with his own much more comfortable Democratic majorities in the House and Senate when he proposed an energy tax, and ended up signing only a small 4-cent increase in the gasoline tax, which didn't impress green hardliners. Health care: Breaking away from the conventional notion that he's uninterested and uninvolved in policy matters, Mr. Bush dealt directly with Congressman Norwood and won him over by suggesting he could accept almost all the provisions of his bill except the high, $5 million punitive damage cap, which he would veto. The two men agreed to allow consumers to sue health plans in state courts, but would restrict them to a $1.5 million cap on noneconomic damages and a separate $1.5 million cap for punitive damages, but only if the health plan refused an order from an outside review board. Mr. Norwood wept in the House well as he pleaded for a victorious vote, and the compromise passed, 218-213. "It was a masterful stroke of politics, but it was a huge policy defeat," argued Robert Moffit, director of domestic programs at the Heritage Foundation. Lawsuits are marginal to the broader issue, he said. The bill "creates a vast expansion of federal regulatory control over the private health insurance market. They've created unfunded mandates on insurers, which will result in higher premiums. Insurers will look more and more like public utilities." Mr. Moffit says the best story inside this story is an amendment that would extend these patient "protections" and lawsuit provisions to Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health plans. The amendment echoed the first days of the Gingrich-led House, when the GOP insisted that any laws passed by the federal government ought to apply to the government as well as the rest of the country. Federal employee unions strongly oppose the amendment. While debate rages on about the merits, in terms of paper achievements, the administration's health policy checklist beats the early Clinton presidency. President Clinton didn't release an actual summary of his massive health plan until late September of 1993, and the proposal started taking on water quickly after the 1,300-page blueprint hit the capital in January of 1994. Taxes: The mailing of tax rebates also accents the mid-year point of Mr. Bush's early presidency. President Clinton passed his record tax increase by a single vote, without any Republican support, in August. By contrast, Mr. Bush's tax cut, largely the same size as he proposed on the campaign trail, passed in May, was signed in June, and starting hitting mail boxes in July. John Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College and author of The Art of Political Warfare, suggested Mr. Bush "faced the most adverse circumstances of the past 100 years in losing the popular vote. But he quickly achieved his top legislative priority, tax cuts. Unlike most victories, this has results people can now hold in their hands." For now, Mr. Bush's victories have prevented a month-long working vacation filled with dire predictions of Mr. Bush's sagging popularity or effectiveness. Instead, Bush critics can only promise it will be a difficult fall taking those House victories into Ted Kennedy territory. "I hope he has a long, enjoyable vacation," Democratic Party chief Terry McAuliffe joked on Fox News Sunday. "He's going to need it when he gets back." Senate Democrats pledge to block ANWR exploration, pump up the patient "protections," and further weaken the faith-based initiative. After months of delay, the House and Senate may even finally create a conference committee on the education bill. But White House officials know there is more to politics than merely "getting things done." There's the question of whether the finalized bills that hit the president's desk in any way resemble his campaign promises, and if he signs them, how those new laws will make waves as they're implemented across the country. Religious conservatives are especially concerned about the potential funhouse-mirror shape of the upcoming education and faith-based bills. When the education bill heads to conference, the shedding of reformist provisions and the addition of a lot more subsidies will look more like that chummy, more-government "middle" than the president's passionate campaign focus on bringing tough accountability measures to failing schools. And while the House has already gutted the faith-based initiative by mandating discrimination against Christ-affirming charities, Sen. Joe Lieberman is preparing to add provisions that would force grant applicants to hire homosexuals and other theological opponents. But after the latest White House surprises, it's dangerous to make any gloomy predictions before the story ends. If the early Bush and Clinton presidencies were reduced to the usual glib caricatures-call it the Frat-Boy Prankster vs. the Rhodes-Scholar Genius-why is the frat boy beating the genius at his own game?

About the Event:
Our hair education events are predominantly cutting-focused and feature two important components: an acoustic set and an electric set. Our "acoustic set" focuses on fundamental skills and traditional (salon-reality) methods, set to a soundtrack of low-key songs. Our "electric set," however, is an energetic explosion of upbeat music and avant-garde cutting, giving attendees a first-hand glimpse into the dynamic world of creative hairdressing. No two classes are exactly the same, but you can expect to learn practical, tangible cutting skills, coupled with career advice and motivational words. Have you been in the industry for awhile? This is perfect opportunity to hone your skill set and build upon existing knowledge.

HE SAID/HE SAID: US Open Day Thirteen
ROGER FEDERER: Fantastic. It's great for tennis, and it's great for him at the young age, you know, he is to have that opportunity already.
I don't know when I had my first opportunity in Paris, how old I was, but my guess would be that he's younger, you know. It doesn't really matter if he's younger or not. It's a matter of can he make it, and chances are good now, especially that Novak is so tired and Rafa has been playing so well.
But it's exciting for tennis that we're doing something very special in tennis at the same time. Yeah, I won't watch, but I hope he wins. (Laughter.)
Q. […] on Novak, you've handled him well here before. Was he a different player in some ways today? Everybody in the crowd wanted him to go down because of the prospect of you and Rafa, and yet he held up under great pressure.
ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, I was the favorite, so there was not that much pressure on him. But he played well under the circumstances, playing the semifinals of a slam.
Honestly, I think he played already well against me the last three times we played here in New York. So it was not like the guy can't play under pressure. He's proven his point, and time and time again. I knew he was gonna be a really tough opponent. The guys who overlooked him don't know anything about tennis, unfortunately.
Look, he played a good match. I kind of felt like the racquet was in my control, and I just let those couple of sets slip away too quickly instead of maybe making him work extra hard.
But, again, I did have match point, and I was, you know, a couple of points away, like I was a couple of points away from victory last year at the Open. So it's two tough losses in two years.
But anyhow, I feel like I played good tennis. That's positive, at least.
Q. How much of a shot do you think he has given...
ROGER FEDERER: I'm sorry? I didn't hear.
Q. You said Novak had a shot tomorrow. How much of a shot do you think he has given the Super Saturday, since you've been through this a lot, and the fatigue factor?
ROGER FEDERER: Ask him how he feels. Yeah, I mean, it's tough. We played second, so that's not an advantage.
I'm not gonna start saying bad things, but it's a tough setup, Saturday and Sunday finals, you know.
Yeah, we will see how he feels coming out tomorrow. It's a big question mark.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No. Popcorn, watching TV, relaxing. (Laughter.)
Yeah, I will do anything that comes up to your mind legally recovery wise. (Laughter.) I will do it. You know, I cannot go to the details too much.
Emotional recovery with my girlfriend, and a couple of things that I cannot talk about. (Laughter.)
It's not what you think. I know what you're thinking.
Q. When you were asked earlier about Rafa possibly becoming the greatest ever, and spoke quite reverently about his accomplishments and so forth. It's occurring to me that at 23 years of age, you yourself are somebody that there's a lot of great championships to be played. With a victory tomorrow, your name belongs in there, you know, in this conversation about Roger and Rafa. Roger himself said in the press conference that people that overlook you just don't know that much about tennis. Your thoughts on sort of all these questions.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah, well, it's normal. There are two best players in the world at this moment. They are the two most dominant players in last five, six years, so it's logical that people talk about them mostly and they want to see them playing in the finals and everybody talks about their rivalry, their, you know, matchups, the greatness of each player.
It's normal. For me, I don't think I've done bad last three or four years. I don't think I've done bad with my achievements. But I am not, you know, kind of disappointed that people are not talking about me more. It's just waiting for my moment to come.
You know, I mean, I'm competing in an era of two, you know, great greats, two players winning most of the majors. It's not easy, if you know what I mean.
Q. It's true. But you're not 28, 29, you know, in the twilight of your career. You're 23. There's still so much tennis to be played.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Definitely, yeah, many, many more years to come. I look forward to it. I'm working hard on my game. I'm getting some things together, and hopefully on the court it's gonna pay off.
RAFAEL NADAL: I think I changed the strings in the end of the season. So, yeah, you are in the top, but the things works very well, but can works better always and worse. But always you have a risk, and you have to -- I don't know. In English is not -- I am not inspired today. Only inspiration was on court. (Laughter.) Forget. (Laughter.)
Q. You've always been extremely hungry. You could have been the king of clay only, and you worked and worked to win Wimbledon. You could have done just that, and you worked and worked to do what you're doing on hard court. Does that hunger come from, I want to win everywhere, or is it just, I want to be the best I can be? Why is it you're always not satisfied?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, because I always thought I always can keep improving. That's why I am playing, to keep improving and to feel myself better player than before. I go to practice every day not to practice; I go to practice every day to try to learn something and to keep improving my level. I already won on hard, so that's not nothing new for me to win on this surface. But the conditions in every tournament are different, and I need to have more options to do to try to win against difficult players like today.
Like in the past, I had a lot of problems against Youzhny in the past, because I was playing before two meters behind the baseline or three meters behind the baseline, all the balls higher with topspin, and he had always the chance to come inside. Now I can change the rhythm. I can play a slice backhand. I can serve, win a little bit more free points with the serve, and I can play more close to the baseline.
So the position on court improved, the slice backhand improved, and it was important shot for me to stop the rhythm of that player. For sure the forehand always was good. The true, I think I am more close to the baseline now.
MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: Yeah, but right now, you lose the match you cannot be really happy. But actually it was good tournament for me.
Q. First of all, if you can elaborate on that a bit. I mean, you know, I guess it takes a little time to look back and reflect and say, Hey, I got to the semifinals of a Grand Slam. But is it almost that much more difficult? Because you were playing such good tennis coming in, and, you know, you start to think about maybe I can be a finalist here? Or can you look back and say, This was a great two weeks for me; I've played some great tennis?
MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: No, have to be realistic. Okay, how Rafa play today I don't have lot of chances to beat him, actually. So that's why if thinking like this one, I can start to think about, Oh, I can win Australia; but I pull out third round; I can win Wimbledon, but I lost second round. So anyway I try to be optimistic, and anyway it was a good two weeks for me.
Q. Do you feel in a way today you might have beaten yourself as opposed to Rafa beating you? Is there a bit of that?
MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: I feel I play really good one game at 4 3, first set, like was lot of emotions. But if I can play like this on every game against Rafa, maybe it's not for sure maybe I can get chance to win. But I don't have so much emotion like I have this game, so I can like sometimes wake up for some points or some games, but I cannot be consistent for all match.
Q. I think you said in your last press conference that you're hoping to be the bad guy.
MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: What?
Q. You were hoping to be the bad guy or the bad person. That didn't happen.
MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: Anyway you have to be nice.

How can I get my bf to feel better about this?
I feel kind of bad, I know he's accepted the pregnancy at least somewhat,like he'll talk about the stuff we need to get and other practical things if I am (I'm 5 weeks 2 days along assuming I am for sure-we're waiting til I've missed my period a bit longer to test), but when I look at things like the baby's development, he gets kind of freaked out, same way he is when I look at pictures of preggo bellies. I'm really excited even though we weren't trying, how can I convince him it's going to be okay?

OK Not trying to be mean...but if he wasn't ready for a baby, he should have used some kind of protection. But if you are, he will eventually get used to it. Especially when he sees his baby on an ultrasound or feel it move for the first time. Its ok and normal to be freaked out. You shouldn't feel bad at all....and really, there is no way to convince him that everything is going to be ok. Yall just need to stick by each other. He especially needs to be there for you. Good luck!posted 08/22/2011 by brittanypounds82
Well it sure does sounds like you could be. I would take a test like every other day then if you are usually super regular. Good luck! :)
Well it sure does sounds like you could be. I would take a test like every other day then if you are usually super regular. Good luck! :)
So have you taken other tests? You do not know you are pregnant for sure yet? Are you usually right on with your periods? And yeah like the last post, there is nothing you can do really to get him okay with it. Eventually he will be fine and be happy. But remember too he might not, and exactly he should have thought about this outcome and used protection. It takes two, it was not just you so hang in there and enjoy this time. Good luck.
Of course! Keep me updated :)
Thanks mchl_flaherty, I mean just because it wasn't planned doesn't mean it isn't welcomed :) We're planning to go to a free clinic soon to get a test done tooposted 08/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
We did use protection, as everyone knows it's not perfect, and yes I am usually very very regular, I should have gotten it 8/16 and I haven't gotten anything, I had some cramps and light spotting about 3 days before hand, but nothing since then, combined with the nausea backaches headaches and constant hunger and cravings...but yeah,thank you guysposted 08/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

After collecting the used products, they are reused and recycled in a proper way. This effort will help us reduce the wastes as well as the negative impact such as mercury contained in a lamp to the human health and the environment at the minimum level. The mark on the electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union Member States.
Place the projector in a horizontal position
The tilt angle of the projector should not exceed 10 degrees, nor should the projector be installed in any way other than the desktop and ceiling mount, otherwise lamp life could decrease dramatically.
Important Information Fire and Shock Precautions
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel. Do not place any objects on top of the projector. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes. Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output. Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust. Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire. - Do not use any power cables than the supplied one. - Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively. - Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object. - Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs. - Do not heat the power cable - Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the object removed by a qualified NEC service personnel under the following conditions: - When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed. - If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. - If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual. - If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. - If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. - If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time. Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp. When using a LAN cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage. CAUTION Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

The Auto Keystone correction feature will correct vertical distortion of a projected image on the screen. No special operation required. Just put the projector on a flat surface. To use the Auto Keystone function, first you must select [Auto] in [Keystone] from the menu.
Manual Keystone Correction
You can also correct keystone distortion manually. To do so:
1. Press the 3D REFORM button on the remote control or the projector cabinet. The Keystone screen will be displayed on the screen. When [Auto] is selected in [Keystone] from the menu, start from step 3. 2. Press the SELECT button to select [Vertical] and then use the SELECT or so that the left and right sides of the projected image are parallel. * Adjust the vertical keystone distortion.
Projected area Screen frame
3. Align the left (or right) side of the screen with the left (or right) side of the projected image. Use the shorter side of the projected image as the base. In the right example, use the left side as the base. NOTE: When [Manual] is selected in [Keystone] from the menu, project an image adjusting projector position so that the screen is smaller than the area of the projected image. See page 77 for selecting [Manual] in [Keystone].
Align left side
4. Press the SELECT button to select [Horizontal] and then use the SELECT or so that the top and bottom sides of the projected image are parallel. Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 to correct keystone distortion. 6. After completing Keystone correction, press the ENTER button. The Keystone screen will disappear. To perform Keystone correction again, press the 3D REFORM button to display the Keystone screen and repeat above steps 1 to 6.
NOTE: Turning on the projector will reset the previous correction setting values and correct distortion anew if the projection angle is changed from the last use. If the projection angle is the same as in the last use, the previous correction setting values are retained in the memory. To use the previous correction setting values after changing projection angle, select [Manual] in [Keystone] from the menu. ( page 77) To reset the 3D Reform correction setting values, press and hold the 3D REFORM button for a minimum of 2 seconds. Each time the 3D REFORM button is pressed, the item will change as follows: Keystone Cornerstone None Keystone . For information on [Cornerstone], see Correcting Horizontal and Vertical Keystone Distortion (Cornerstone) on page 38. The 3D Reform feature can cause an image to be slightly blurred because the correction is made electronically.

It was brought to the Dog Park Committee's attention that the surface area (pea gravel/stones) appears to be somewhat harsh on some of the dog's paws. Please know that the surface area for the park was researched extensively and other surfaces were explored. The current surface was chosen based on safety, sanitary, and long-term economical reasons. All of the following surfaces were considered:
If your dog is having difficulty with the current surface area there are several things you may do:
If your dog is currently experiencing some tender/torn pads, PAD-HEAL is a "healing goop" which helps increase the healing process. Again, check with your vet before applying anything to your dog's paws.
We hope this response has helped to explain why the pea gravel was chosen as the best surface area for the Montville Township Dog Park.

Interesting times
Money | With interest rates low, Bernanke decides to forgo other Fed action
An ancient fortune says: "May you live in interesting times." But Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke may have had all the interesting times he can stand. That's why his Aug. 26 speech in Jackson Hole, Wyo., was calculated to be uninteresting. And it seemed to work.
Bernanke said his long-term view was "more optimistic" and that "the growth fundamentals of the United States do not appear to have been permanently altered by the shocks of the past four years." Bernanke did not rule out future action by the Fed, but he said he would take no action now. His inaction seemed to satisfy conservatives who think the Fed has already done too much. His explanation was a sign of confidence in the economy to heal itself.
Bernanke's speech came after four straight weeks of losses on Wall Street, and some of the most volatile days in market history. One week saw four out of five days with 400-point swings, unprecedented in the 115-year history of the Dow.
The overall economy, meanwhile, is not out of the woods. JPMorgan Chase & Co. now predicts growth at an annual rate of just 1 percent, down from an earlier forecast of 2.5 percent. A survey of leading economists says high unemployment and weak consumer spending will hold back the U.S. economy into 2012. If they're right, these conditions may make for boring economic news and calmer markets, but hot political news as we approach an election year.
What? Me Worry?
The crushing debt loads of Ireland, Greece, Spain, and Portugal have brought the EuroZone nations to the brink of economic meltdown, but don't tell that to Europe's largest corporations.
Commodities trader Glencore posted strong earnings for the first half of 2011. Drinks maker Diageo also announced upbeat figures. Credit Agricole, France's largest retail bank, is thriving in part because scared Europeans are practicing some old-fashioned thrift: Savings rates are up in most of Europe since 2005.
The problem-if you want to call it that-is that these earnings are the result of increased productivity. France's unemployment rate is nearly 10 percent. Germany is at 7 percent-good by the standards of its neighbors, but still well above full employment, and the rate seems to be stuck. Companies are reluctant to hire new workers until they know the economy is out of the woods, so it's a cycle that is likely to continue for a while.
Shooting a BRIC
Brazil, Russia, India, and China mostly sat out the Great Recession. Growth in the so-called BRIC countries continued while the United States and Europe strained under debt, housing crises, and bank meltdowns.
But these countries have huge problems. Brazil and India now face inflation. China's unwillingness to let its currency float on the world currency markets means that just about every aspect of its economy is artificial. It now has a housing bubble, its banks have massive bad debt problems, and it has an unsustainable trading volume with virtually every international trading partner, including the United States.
The bottom line: Strong growth had masked these problems, but all four countries now forecast much slower growth through at least 2012. So the BRIC countries may have survived the Great Recession, but they may become victims of a weak global recovery.

I am looking for a route from the Mesquite area to Rockwall. The only idea I have at this point is to take Hwy 66 through Rowlett. Not sure it is even legal to bike across the I-30 bridges. Hwy 78 seems to be WAY too far out of the way...
I am also looking for a route from Mesquite east to Terrell. I see folks on the US-80 service roads all the time but I don't know what they do when they get to the river below the Ray Hubbard dam. There isn't a service road there and I would be forced to ride on the shoulder of US-80.
Any thoughts??

The Florida State University College of Law Summer for Undergraduates Program has received honorable mention recognition for the ABA 2012 Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Award for Excellence in Pipeline Diversity.
The award is given to organizations or individuals who have shown innovation and leadership in diversifying the educational pipeline to the legal profession. The ABA Council for Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Educational Pipeline recognized FSU at the ABA Midyear Meeting in New Orleans.
The Summer for Undergraduates Program — a signature program of the college of law — exposes students, particularly those from groups historically underrepresented in the legal profession, to the joys and rigors of legal education. The 60 students selected annually for the program attend a month of simulated law school at no charge, including room and board, and receive a $500 stipend. Participants experience intensive instruction, legal writing training, and exposure to legal professionals from a variety of fields.
"I am profoundly grateful to our benefactors, Wayne and Pat Hogan, for endowing this life-changing program and making it a permanent part of the law school's offerings," said Dean Don Weidner. "The summer program has catapulted many of its alumni into successful law school careers and beyond."

Today's quiz (updated)
Posted By On July 14, 2010 @ 11:31 am In Uncategorized | 136 Comments
There are two anniversaries approaching which began a total transformation of the Rangers' landscape.
One of them is tomorrow, July 15. The other is Aug. 28. Can you tell me what happened on either of those dates?
Reached out to some former Boneheads about guest posts. Sam Weinman (over in Scotland for the Open Championship) and Jane McManus (now at ESPN-NY) can't do it. But they both said to say Hi to you guys.
Josh Thomson, 26, will do one. I will have the schedule posted later today or tomorrow.
Also asked my former sports editor — don't want to use his name without permission, but he was in the big chair back when I was hired in the late 1970s and he was also the Rangers beat writer who gave me my start and so graciously gave me the opportunity later to do it on a full-time basis — if he'd be interested in posting. He lives in Florida and told me he's "the Delray Bonehead."
How about that?
AFTERNOON UPDATE, 4 P.M.: The Rangers just announced they've re-signed minor-league forward Brodie Dupont.
