As a Texan, I am proud of my state's football heritage. Year in and year out, great Texas high school football players pop up in both the big cities and the small towns across our state. The same can be said for California (which produces more NFL players than any other state) and Florida. These "big three" states account for nearly a third of all of the players currently in the NFL.
I wondered, though – what if every pro football player was rostered on the NFL team he was born closest to? The Texas, California and Florida NFL teams would, logically, have some pretty mean starting rosters. But what would the rest of the teams look like?
Using the territories indicated by this map I found the answer to this question for all of the NFL teams. In the study, I combined the 49ers and Raiders, the Giants and Jets, and the Redskins and Ravens. I also plugged in players who were born outside of a team's target area if that team didn't have any local guys at a certain position. These replacement players – identified with a blue dot – were pulled from places as close to the team's target area as possible. Enjoy!

This is not the first time I've seen a story like this, it is apparently typical hiring policy for police in many areas. Let's face it, they want a dumbed-down police force that's just smart enough to follow orders. We just can't have our police thinking too much or questioning procedure!
This story says that the average I.Q. for a cop is 104, if that is accurate it means there are thousands of police with I.Q.'s in the 80-100 range. Is it any surprise then that incidents of police brutality and abuses upon citizens (as well as the Constitution) are now so frequent?
From Ananova:
A US man has been rejected in his bid to become a police officer for scoring too high on an intelligence test.
Robert Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took an exam to join the New London police, in Connecticut, in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125.
But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.
Mr Jordan launched a federal lawsuit against the city, but lost.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court's decision that the city did not discriminate against Mr Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test.
He said: "This kind of puts an official face on discrimination in America against people of a certain class. I maintain you have no more control over your basic intelligence than your eye color or your gender or anything else."
He said he does not plan to take any further legal action and has worked as a prison guard since he took the test.
The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.

John Simonetti, Department of Physics, Virginia Tech
The Physics Teacher Education Program (PhysTEC) is now in its second year here at Virginia Tech. PhysTEC, as you may know, is a project led by the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers, with the aims of improving the education of future high school physics teachers and physical science teachers, and increasing the number of credentialed physics teachers drawn specifically from the ranks of college and university physics majors. Secondary goals include the improvement of undergraduate physics teaching by incorporating modern research-based methods of instruction and improving the general atmosphere surrounding the educational mission with physics departments. To advance this last goal, PhysTEC also aims to raise the level of regard among physics faculty for teaching physics as a career option for undergraduate physics majors. As you should be aware, the nation suffers from a severe lack of highly qualified physics teachers at the secondary level. With the dramatic scientific and technological issues facing our nation and the world, the future health of our civilization depends upon the quality of education, and particularly science education, at the pre-college level.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is a land grant university, founded in 1872. It is a research university with eight colleges and a graduate school, with approximately 29,000 full-time students on campus (about 24,000 undergraduates). The university is most well-known for its College of Engineering. Virginia Tech is located in southwestern Virginia, about a 4 hour drive from Washington, D.C., and the heavily populated northern Virginia area; many of our students come from northern Virginia. The university is located in the New River Valley, a rural area between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains. Blacksburg, the surrounding town, is very much a college town.
The Physics Department has approximately 200 majors. In addition to educating the majors, the department teaches a two-semester calculus-based introductory physics sequence to all engineering students — a total of about 2000 per semester. A non-calculus introductory sequence is also presented to approximately 900 life-sciences majors per semester. Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), taken from the ranks of our physics graduate students, run laboratory and recitation sections for these introductory sequences.
PhysTEC at Virginia Tech has many features common to other PhysTEC sites, but also some unique innovations. Like most PhysTEC sites, we have a Teacher in Residence (TIR) and a Learning Assistant (LA) program. In our program, we collaborate closely with the School of Education, use a SCALE-UP approach to teach introductory physics to our physics majors, not a traditional lecture, have some unusual pre-service teaching experiences for our PhysTEC students, and offer our PhysTEC students a Graduate Teaching Assistantship to cover their expenses while completing their Masters of Education at Virginia Tech.
Our current TIR is Alma Robinson. She has been with us since the beginning of the program. While it is unusual for the TIR to serve for more than one year at a PhysTEC site, there was a change in PhysTEC leadership at our site and the PhysTEC administration thought it best to allow our TIR to continue for another year, adding some additional continuity to the program. Alma has been an integral part of the success of our program because of her boundless energy and her enthusiasm for the program and for education in general. She graduated from our undergraduate physics program and completed a Masters in Education here at Virginia Tech before we became a PhysTEC site. After teaching physics at a high school in northern Virginia for a number years, she became our first TIR. Alma has a thorough knowledge of the Virginia Tech program, knows the faculty involved, and the specific academic programs here for physics majors and graduate education students. She also has a preexisting connection with high school physics teachers in the area through her experience here as a student teacher. In addition, she was a GTA in our department as a graduate education student, and had the job of working with teachers in the area to schedule outreach visits to those schools by our physics majors outreach team (more on this program later). The potential lesson for other PhysTEC sites: while it is often useful to have new blood in a program, don't shy away from using a TIR that was a successful graduate of your program, either as a physics major, or education student, or both. Such a person can be quite an asset.
This year we started an undergraduate Physics Learning Assistant program, with the intent of interesting more students in teaching, improving the delivery of physics instruction to both physics majors and engineering students, and assisting the LAs in their own understanding of physics (as faculty know — and as we tell all our students — you only really learn physics when you teach it). We were already on track to use undergraduates as Learning Assistants before our selection as a PhysTEC site. LAs are similar to GTAs, but are undergraduate students (who may be paid, or may receive academic credit for their LA work). Before we became a PhysTEC site, we used some undergraduate physics majors as teaching assistants in the labs associated with introductory astronomy. These students were high-level physics majors, interested in teaching, who had a background in astronomy or had taken the introductory course and labs earlier. Our newly initiated Physics LA Program has 12 participants, who serve as LAs in introductory astronomy lab sections, introductory physics lab sections, introductory physics lectures for engineers, and the SCALE-UP introductory physics section for freshman physics majors. All LAs must take our new Physics Teaching and Learning course, taught by the TIR. The LAs take this course concurrently with their first semester as an LA. They receive credit for taking the course, and as is common within the College of Science, our undergraduate LAs receive academic credit for their work as an LA. We hope the LA program will improve the performance of physics majors in upper level courses, convincing the faculty of the value of LAs, spreading the use of LAs to upper-division courses, and enhancing the teaching mission of the department.
The SCALE-UP approach to instruction was initiated in the Physics Department at North Carolina State University and has been adapted at many colleges and universities, including MIT. SCALE-UP, in general, refers to courses which use interactive group work, in classrooms specifically designed for the purpose. Often the classrooms, as in our case, use round tables of a specific size, with 9 seats; students at these tables often work in groups of 3, with a computer available to each of group. Whiteboards hang on all the walls of the classroom. The specific activities undertaken by the groups emphasize learning by doing, as opposed to learning by lectures. The instructor is more a facilitator of discussion, and a coach as he or she walks about the room. Groups may interact as they share results or ideas. In our setting we also use a GTA and two LAs for the SCALE-UP section, which contains about 40 freshman physics majors. This section is taught by the Department Chair, who is one of the Co-PIs on the PhysTEC project.
Perhaps one of the uncommon aspects of our PhysTEC program is the constructive combination of the PhysTEC program and a separate, independently initiated Virginia Tech program called the First Year Experience (FYE). The FYE program aims to provide freshman and transfer students with specific skills to increase their chances of success in their undergraduate studies: skills in problem solving, inquiry, and integration of information. In addition, FYE courses address career planning. Faculty can obtain university money to design courses that address these goals. I obtained FYE money to design and run an FYE course for physics majors. The course is a two-semester sequence (1 credit per semester) which is run in the SCALE-UP room, with the assistance of a GTA who is one of the PhysTEC Masters of Education (MAED) students. In addition to addressing the FYE goals, we often have the students teach their fellow group members, and we stress the importance of this activity. The FYE platform gives us a chance to introduce the LA program and teaching — teaching peers, and a teaching career.
We support all our MAED PhysTEC students using Graduate Teaching Assistantships in the Physics Department. These students have obtained their B.S. or B.A. in physics from our department, and so are quite familiar with our undergraduate labs and courses. This also means the MAED students obtain their graduate degrees, and licensure, while being entirely supported financially. Alma Robinson was one of the first students to be supported in this model before we became a PhysTEC site. This year we have five MAED PhysTEC students who obtained their undergraduate physics degrees from our department; all are supported as GTAs.
The student I work with in the FYE course was our co-valedictorian a few years back, went to graduate school in astronomy, and returned after a year to pursue teaching as a career. He has not followed the standard PhysTEC track, since most of our PhysTEC students start their MAED program in their senior undergraduate year; thus the PhysTEC physics major-MAED sequence is a five-year program. Usually these students take some education courses in the summer after obtaining their physics degree. Thus, support combined with an accelerated program help to make our full program attractive to potential teachers among our undergraduate majors.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of our program is the set of pre-service experiences we provide for our undergraduate PhysTEC students: a multi-level outreach program and a robotics program. The outreach program consists of two possible courses. All physics majors are welcome to enroll in the first course, Physics Outreach. In Physics Outreach students meet weekly with the GTA, usually an MAED student, where they learn how to run physics demonstrations and lead discussions about the physical principles involved in a secondary school setting. Teams of these students visit the local and regional middle and high schools, where they lead class meetings with the students in science classes. Alma Robinson was the GTA for this course when she was an MAED student. Many of our PhysTEC MAED students tell us they were first turned on to teaching through Physics Outreach. The second level of the outreach program is the Enhanced Physics Outreach course. PhysTEC students in this course must put in a greater effort, and receive a larger payback, through working more closely with the instructor (our TIR) and the local science teachers to develop detailed lesson plans for demonstration-based physics lessons in the middle school and high school science classrooms. They carry out these plans on visits to the schools. While Physics Outreach has been going on for years now, Enhanced Physics Outreach is a new addition, born of our PhysTEC program.
Our most unique program unit is our robotics program pre-service experience. The School of Education has partnered with the College of Engineering to provide a capstone course in the design and building of a robot in collaboration with the surrounding Montgomery County Public Schools. With the initiation of the PhysTEC collaboration between the School of Education and the Physics Department, our undergraduate PhysTEC students are now welcomed into the robotics program course. The physics majors are not engineers, but they quickly learn the design process, and given their strong background in physical principles, make significant contributions to the effort. The high school students meet with the engineering and physics students during the spring semester, in late afternoons and on Saturdays, in a building at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center. The purpose is to design and build an entry for the national FIRST robotics program. The college students acts as coaches and mentors in the design process, the construction of the robot, the testing, and finally the entry of the completed robot in regional and, hopefully, national competitions. This past spring, there were two PhysTEC physics majors in the robotics program. The design purpose of the robot was revealed nationally early in the Spring semester: the robot had to autonomously shoot basketballs into a basket, and also do so under the remote control of a student. While the resulting Montgomery County robot did fairly well in the regional competitions in Richmond, VA, and Raleigh, NC, the team did not win a spot in the national competition in St. Louis. However, the physics students were particularly proud of the fact that their two subteams (Drivetrain and Bumper) won subteam awards at the Raleigh competition, while the subteams lead by engineering students did not. The result of the robotics program that impressed me the most was related by one of our School of Education collaborators. The parents of our two PhysTEC students in the robotics program told her they were initially uneasy that their children were pursuing a career as secondary school teachers. When the parents saw their children with the high school students at the competition, saw how their children interacted with the high school students, saw how much their children had grown through this experience, and saw how the high school students looked up to their children as mentors, the parents became completely supportive of their children's choice to become high school physics teachers.
John Simonetti received his B.S. in physics from SUNY at Stony Brook in 1978, and received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Astronomy and Space Sciences from Cornell University in 1982 and 1985. After he did postdoctoral work at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, he became a faculty member of the Department of Physics at Virginia Tech, where he is currently the Associate Chair.

US employers post more jobs, cut fewer workers
Labor Department: More people competing for available jobs
U.S. employers advertised more job openings in January, suggesting that hiring will remain healthy in the coming months.
The Labor Department says job openings rose 2.2 percent in January from December to 3.69 million. Openings had fallen nearly 5 percent in December.
There were other positive signs: Employers laid off fewer workers in January, while the number of Americans quitting their jobs rose to the highest in four years. People usually quit when they have another job, so more quitting suggests it is easier to find work.
There is still a lot of competition for open positions. About 12.3 million people were unemployed in January. That means there were 3.3 unemployed people, on average, competing for each job. In a healthy economy, that ratio is roughly 2 to 1.

Chain Reaction: Papa John's New Italian Meats and Spinach Alfredo Pizzas
Reviews of pizza at chain restaurants.
While we think mom-and-pop shops make the best pizza in the nation, we'd be remiss if we didn't keep abreast of what the chains are up to. Suit up, it's time for another Chain Reaction, folks.
Papa John's has a couple limited-time pizzas on its menu these days, the Spinach Alfredo and the Italian Meats Pizza. Both are $11 right now. We got our greasy mitts on them (both ordered on thin-crust foundations*) in the name of research.
Papa John's Spinach Alfredo Pizza
First up, the Spinach Alfredo pizza. Well, it delivers on the alfredo flavor, but on the spinach, I think all of us at Slice/SE HQ we were imagining larger pieces of spinach perhaps strewn atop the pizza. Instead it's chopped medium-fine and placed beneath the cheese.
It tastes like a spinach dip blanketed with a layer of mozzarella. As one wag here said, "It has that sort of swampy, frozen spinach flavor. But it's not super gooey." Another one said, "It's not even good in a bad good way."
My guess is that this was a specialty-pizza sop to vegetarians. This truly is a "limited-time" pizza, though, because you normally can't get alfredo sauce or spinach via the online ordering tool.
Papa John's Italian Meats Pizza
The Hearty Italian Meats has the 3-cheese blend (mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano), Italian salami, spicy Italian sausage, "Italian ham," and pepperoni. Keep in mind that pepperoni is not necessarily an Italian meat, but whatever, and that we don't exactly know what they mean by "Italian ham," which is why I put it in quotes. It's not prosciutto — tasted more like Canadian bacon.
But, you know, this one was actually pretty decent. You'd think it'd be overkill with four meats, but Papa John's takes a light hand with each one. That can be good or bad, depending on your outlook on meatzza. Personally, I like the fact that it doesn't feel like I'm eating a deli case's worth of cured meats. I do wish we could have found the pepperoni, though. The "Italian ham" looks pretty similar and could be mistaken for it at first.
One surprising note: The Italian salami topping is actually pretty good. Could Papa have read our "Soppressata Is the New Pepperoni" post? We're going to have to order a pizza topped only with this stuff and see how it holds up.
So, long story short: We'll give a "go" to the Italian Meats Pizza and a "no" to the Spinach Alfredo. —Adam Kuban, with insights from Maggie Hoffman, Erin Zimmer, and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
* We've found that the thin-crust base is often the best foundation to order a chain pizza on, since they don't get overly bready and doughy, one of the major weaknesses of chain pizza.

Carbohydrates from Goat Milk
Carbohydrates are one of the main types of nutrients. This nutrient group includes foods recognized as sugars and starches. Carbohydrates are the most important and immediate source of energy for the body. The process of digestion convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is available as an immediate energy source by body cells, tissues and organs. Energy that is not used immediately is stored for future use.
Carbohydrates are classified as simple or complex, depending on their chemical structure. Simple carbohydrates include sugars found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and milk products. Complex carbohydrates include whole grain breads and cereals, starchy vegetables and legumes.
As they say, anything excessive is harmful to health. An overabundance of carbohydrates can easily lead to weight gain, as a small amount of carbohydrates rich food sources provides a sizeable supply of energy that the body can readily use. It would be good if you are an athlete but not if you have a desk job.
Carbohydrates in milk are in the form of lactose, also known as milk sugar. Lactose is the ingredient responsible for the slightly sweet taste of milk, and is made up of two sugars, known as galactose and glucose, making it a simple carbohydrate.
The exact difference in lactose content between goat milk and cow milk is hard to quantify because of the number of different analysis techniques used. However, it is widely accepted that goat milk is lower in lactose than cow milk. This lower lactose level has the most profound implications for individuals who are lactose intolerant.
Milk sugar, or Lactose in goat milk, provides a ready supply of energy, and together with the other nutrients in milk, makes goat milk a wise choice for a quick, energizing drink.

Actress Catherine-Zeta Jones said she blames doctors for not finding Michael Douglas' tumor sooner and talked about the difficulty of watching her husband battle cancer.
"It makes me furious they didn't detect it earlier," Zeta-Jones, 40, told People magazine about the tumor discovered at the base of Douglas' throat. "He sought every option and nothing was found."
Despite exhaustion from treatment, the 65-year-old Oscar-winning "Wall Street" star told David Letterman on his show Tuesday that he had been going to doctors for months for a sore throat and ear pain before they determined he had stage-four cancer. It was his first television appearance since the bad news broke three weeks ago.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Zeta-Jones, an Oscar-winning actress herself, said it especially hurt to watch her once-energetic husband suffer from the exhaustive treatment.
"I know maybe I should be stronger, but emotionally I just don't want to see that," she said. "The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired."
After all the months of pain and uncertainty about Douglas' condition, the actress said the cancer news wasn't completely surprising because the celebrity couple always had a bad feeling about his health.
"It wasn't a huge shock. I knew something was up. He knew something was up," she said.
While Zeta-Jones expressed anger over the late diagnosis, Douglas told People he wasn't blaming anyone because "these things sometimes just don't show up."

D. Hunt of the Graduate school. Mt. Lowe, the mile-high peak situated only a few miles from IjOS Angeles, will be the goal of many summer session students seekjng to escape the city heat, when the annual excursion trip over the famous mountain railway takes place next Saturday, June 27. Reduced rates are offered to those attending S. C., and round trip tickets may be purchased at the cashier's cage in the student store for $1.50. Mt. Lowe is reached by electric trains leaving the Sixth and Main streets station of the Pacific Electric railway. Interurban cars will carry the excursionists to the foot of the mountain.

Lowe, the students and faculty members will board the cable cars of the incline railway for the short but thrilling trip to the summit of the steep grade. The view of southern California, beautiful from the summit of the peak itself, shows its most features during the ride of the incline railway. At the terminal of the incline, the tourists will board the red cars of the mountain, railway, and from that time until they reach the peak will find no stretch of track or trail which stretches for more than 100 yards without a curve.

An elaborate sculpted altar was commissioned by the Milanese Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception for their oratory in San Francesco in 1480. A new contract was drawn up in 1483 with Leonardo and the de Predis brothers: a central panel was to be painted by Leonardo alone, and there were to be two side panels showing angels singing and playing musical instruments.
Two paintings of angels (An Angel in Green with a Vielle and An Angel in Red with a Lute) by artists influenced by Leonardo, are undoubtedly those for the altarpiece.
'The Virgin of the Rocks' seems not to refer to the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, but depicts the type of subject that Leonardo might have painted in his native Florence where legends concerning the young Saint John the Baptist were popular.
Execution of the commission was protracted. Leonardo may only have put the finishing touches to it in 1508. The finished work was then sent to France, (now Paris, Louvre). Leonardo painted a replacement for San Francesco that was probably completed with some help from his studio in 1508, and which is now in the National Gallery Collection.

DWTS 14 – Make Your Team Name Suggestions!
Ok, so reminiscing about past team names and trying to come up with ones for this season's couples in another thread just seemed to clarify for me "We need a separate post for this." 🙂
It's pretty self-explanatory – we wanna hear your suggestions for this season's team names. Keep in mind that the team names USUALLY are a sort of portmanteau of the celeb & the pro's names ("Evanna" for Evan & Anna, "Florky" for Florence & Corky, "Kanenball" for Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas), although they can also consist of nicknames ("Sugar & Spice" for Sugar Ray & Anna) or make no sense whatsoever ("Team Schmurgles" for Kyle & Lacey…still trying to figure that one out!). And let's avoid anything too vulgar – if you can't say it on tv, there's really not much of a point in saying it here 🙂
Heidi mentioned something about tweeting a link to this post to all of the teams to help them brainstorm their names – so make 'em good, guys, 'cause you never know if Maks, Kym, Tristan, etc. might be reading this! 😉 Keep in mind that this is the name that goes on the t-shirts that the couples tend to wear in rehearsal, around the studio, etc…so if they like your name, you'll be seeing it everywhere.

U.S. dairy exports continue to set records
The continual, almost unbroken stream of increases in U.S. dairy export volume and value is like the broken record that one never tires of hearing.
Bonus Content
U.S. dairy trade data
U.S. dairy export volumes have been increasing at an average annual rate of 12% over the past decade. And barring any fourth quarter 2013 hiccups, volumes this year will be up another 14% to 18%. The value of those exports is even sweeter music, up an average of 20% over the past decade and up 25% to 30% this year.
"World demand for dairy products is up, and the world is willing to pay for them," says Alan Levitt, vice president of communications and market analysis for the U.S. Dairy Export Council.
Levitt is cautiously optimistic as the calendar flips closer to 2014. Yes, world milk production—driven by the Euro-pean Union, the U.S. and New Zealand—is again back in growth mode. He expects global milk supplies to grow 2% to 2½% next year—or 10 billion to 13 billion pounds.
"This will put some downward pressure on world prices," he acknow-ledges. But it will likely be more of a soft landing than a hard crash. Some importers have been out of the market because of high 2013 prices. Lower
prices will mean they'll back, sopping up some of the increased supply.
"And most of the buying is underpinned by China. It is already the world's biggest buyer of dairy products, and it needs to import even more," Levitt says. "The Chinese are willing to pay what it takes to get dairy products into the country."
China has now overtaken Canada as the No. 2 destination for U.S. dairy exports. By value, China increased its purchase of U.S. products 41% in the first seven months of 2013, compared with the same period a year ago. And that's despite the fact that sales to Canada increased 20%.
Dairy Farmers of America's whole milk powder plant in Fallon, Nev., will start operation next year. This is the first plant in the U.S. wholly dedicated to the export market, designed specifically to meet Chinese product needs. Once operational, Levitt estimates the Fallon plant, along with Darigold and Michigan Milk plants, could export the equivalent of 2 billion pounds of milk annually, or 1% of U.S. production.
"This is clear, tangible evidence that U.S. farmer cooperatives are committed to the global market," he says.
Undoubtedly, there will be bumps in the road as the U.S. sells more milk overseas. In other words, risk management will become increasingly important. For now, however, the future looks bright.

Young Ben Desaulnier readily admits he's trying to live up to what his uncle represented, and that is not an easy task.
The score was tied late in an American Legion game with men on base and a 2-2 count on the batter.
Danielson pitcher Brian Bilica grooved in a curveball that umpire Stan Lesniewski saw come right over the plate. The former umpire later admitted to Ed Desaulnier that he blew the call, and Danielson American Legion coach John Krot let him know it.
"Krot asked my son (catcher Ben Desaulnier) where the pitch was, and my son said, 'Coach, it was just a little outside,' " Ed said.
As Lesniewski later told Ed, if it was at all close, there was no question that the next pitch was going to be strike three. The catcher had earned the umpire's respect.
Ben Desaulnier did a lot more than just earn Stan Lesniewski's respect. He and his family had earned the respect of a community.
That's what made the night of Oct. 29, 1993 even harder to take.
Ben, in his senior year at Killingly High, was coming home from a friend's house when his vehicle struck a telephone pole on Green Hollow Road. According to his older brother, Matt — the two shared the same birthday, two years apart — there was not a scratch on Ben, but he had passed away at the age of 17.
That winter, the town's Board of Recreation voted to name the baseball field at Owen Bell Park in Dayville in Ben's honor. In the spring, the field was dedicated with a sign over the scoreboard.
Twenty years later, Killingly freshman Ben Desaulnier now looks at that sign every time he plays baseball. The late Ben Desaulnier's nephew, who bears his name, now wears the familiar No. 18 that his uncle wore for Killingly in the early 90s.
"I enjoy talking about it now, because it brings back all the good memories," Matt said of his late brother. "He was just such a unique guy. He was two years younger than me, and he was always trying to keep up with me and my friends, playing sports. It's always frustrating when your younger brother is competing with you, and sometimes beating you."
Matt called his brother "the ultimate teammate" because, although fiercely competitive, he also was "so positive." His favorite line was "shake it off," and although the two were competitive they had a great relationship, sharing a bedroom growing up.
"It's amazing to think that it's been 20 years. It just seems like yesterday when I had a conversation with him," Matt said. "It's amazing stuff. My son is almost his age."
Former Killingly High baseball coach Bill Guillot was at the helm of the Redmen at the time the tragedy occurred. He heard about it from his neighbor, Louise LaBelle, and remembered "getting a lump in my throat."
"I was decimated, and I couldn't fathom what his family was going through," Guillot said.
At the time, he and his wife, Donna, had not had children. Owen Guillot is now a teammate of the young Ben Desaulnier on this year's Redmen team.
"It gets ripped right out of you. Back then, I used to think you could just throw anything at me," Ed said. "You lose a son, you lose a child, everything else doesn't make much of a difference. Time helps in an awful lot of things, but you never forget."
The late Ben Desaulnier had hoped to go to Holy Cross after his high school days and play catcher. No one doubted he would succeed in that quest.
"A kid like that comes along once in a lifetime," Guillot said. "You didn't know what you had until he was gone."
But the family and many townspeople refused to let his memory slip away. Matt said his parents have a roomful of momentos, cards and letters sent to them after Ben died, telling them what he had accomplished in such a short period of time.
"I've always been really proud of it," Ed said of the field. "I remember saying back when the field was dedicated that some people may wonder about dedicating the field to a 17-year-old kid, but I think it would be hard for anyone to come along and play any harder or take more pride in that field than he did."
The family also is a driving force behind some of the recent improvements to the field, where a press box has been built and dugouts improved.
In addition to the field being named in his honor, the family started a scholarship fund at Killingly High School. More than 70 former student-athletes have benefited from the fund, which has awarded more than $140,000.
Then came Matt's son, Ben.
"It's kind of neat to have another Ben Desaulnier around," Matt said with a laugh. "It was just to honor him. He was the most influential guy in my life other than my parents."
When Matt told his father of the decision, both broke down in tears. Now, 14 years later, Ben is playing on the field that bears the name he now sports.
"There's a lot of pressure there, and he doesn't talk about it a lot," Matt said. "He holds it in and takes the pressure. ... He does a good job handling it all."
"One of the fun things about it, 20 years later, (is that) I'm looking at a clone of his uncle, playing now," Ed said.
Young Ben readily admits he's trying to live up to what his uncle represented, and that is not an easy task.
"I'm honored to have it," he said. "It's nice that I was given the opportunity to carry on his name and, hopefully, I can do what they expect and live up to it."
Now in high school, more stories have come Ben's way — such as the one about his uncle never sitting with the same people at lunch because he wanted to meet and know everyone in school.
"I could definitely do a better job of that," young Ben said. "I try to friend as many people as I can and be kind to everybody that I know and everyone I see."
One thing he had hoped for was the opportunity to sport his uncle's number, but being a freshman, that was not a guarantee. When coach Mike Scrapchansky said seniors had first choice for picking uniforms prior to the team's first scrimmage, Ben thought someone was going to take No. 18.
When his turn came, the jersey still was there.
"It gave me chills when I first put it on," Ben said. "I definitely think there was a reason why it was still there."

It's 2013, and even though it's been thrown in our faces for the last three weeks, one of us will still write 1-3-12 on a check. It' s just one of those things that can't be avoided. And speaking of writing checks and spending money, let's not get reeled in on any more sales gimmicks. We've had Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday, Christmas sales, after-Christmas sales, New Year's sales, after-New Year's sales … and probably after-Kwanzaa sales too. Don't let your shopping be led by promises of big bargains. It's too bad the things we really need never go on sale. For once, I'd like to see an ad that says half-off on your power bill or an Early Bird prescription sale for the elderly.
And don't get me started about all the diets and promises to do everything from quitting smoking to reading the Bible more often that we pledge every first of the year. If saying out loud or writing it down brings you closer to your goals, then keep at it. Who am I to judge? I guess making resolutions is a tradition, like cooking black eyed peas and greens on the first of the year for good luck and financial abundance, watching the Rose Parade, football games and trying to get it all in if you had to go back to work the next day.
By the way, is it just me, or is going back to work on a Wednesday just plain wrong?
I'm excited about the New Year and hoping it's good for everyone. My hopes for 2013 are pretty simple: I hope Katt Williams realizes that Suge Knight is a poor choice for a life coach. I hope not to ever be on an elevator ride alone with fired Chicago Bears' coach Lovie Smith. It's not my fault! I hope that the makers of fruit cakes and BlackBerry's will figure out what they have in common. It's time to stop making both. And finally, I hope nobody gets caught up and names their new born baby Django.
Happy New Year, everybody!

William, Kate and Harry Kick Off the Tour de France in England
The royals visited a Yorkshire village to celebrate the start of the annual cycling race
Le Tour fever has grabbed hold of Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry as they kicked off the 101st Tour de France on Saturday – in England.
Hundreds of spectators greeted the royals in the Yorkshire village of West Tanfield. On a cool, sunny day, the Duchess of Cambridge, 32, looked refreshed in her beloved nude LK Bennett pumps and green coat dress.
Kate and her husband both stopped to say hello to 22-month-old Mason Tupland, who was holding a pink balloon and waiting with his mother, Claire Tupland.
"George would have popped that by now," William, 32, said, with Kate adding, "He's more interested in helicopters and anything with wheels."
Many kids gave loom bracelets to Kate, including Jemima Berry, 9, and Hattie Craven, 10, who gave Kate a pink one they made. Then, Kate showed her the loom bands she wears on her wrists and said she and William got several in New Zealand and Australia during their April trip.
Kate stopped to ask pregnant Laura Wright, 25, of Kirkby Fleetham, if she knew the sex of her baby. When Laura said she didn't know, Kate replied, "Surprises are the best way."
William asked, "What would happen if you went into labor?" She joked she would hitch a ride with a cyclist. He laughed and instead offered a ride in their helicopter.
Lily Boynton, 6, of Northallerton, asked where Prince George was. Kate sweetly replied, "He's asleep in his bedroom."
The famous bike race traditionally starts outside France. This year, the United Kingdom was chosen because the last two winners have been British.
The quaint village of West Tanfield, Yorkshire, in Northern England, has been transformed into a jovial carnival atmosphere with painted bicycles hanging precariously from stone walls and pubs.
Yorkshire pudding, a concoction of fried batter with onion gravy, is offered in market stalls as a snack. Sheep are painted in red polka dots – yellow and green, to represent the famed winning jerseys for the Tour de France cyclists.
Harry, 29, tried a golden ale called Tour de Ale from the Pennine Brewing Company. And then the royal trio departed to see cyclists race to the finish line at Harrogate on day 1 of the Tour.
Kate, who earlier cut a ribbon at the start of the race, is due to award the yellow jersey to the winner of the first stage.

Wynn won: Next stop: regional NewSong finals
Robin Wynn, the local woman who made the semi-finals of a song-writing contest affiliated with the renowned Mountain Stage radio show, has made the finals.
"I was surprised," says Wynn. "I continue to be surprised."
On Wednesday, May 18, after The Hook went to press with a story on Wynn, she and 20 regional contenders performed their songs in the fourth annual Mountain Stage NewSong contest.
"We had to sit there agonizingly for an hour and a half while they judged," says Wynn. The wait was worth it.
The five finalists, including Wynn, will return to Strathmore, a Bethesda, Maryland performance center, on June 19 to perform their songs for the contest finals. Wynn's entry is entitled "Broken Sky."
Robin Wynn: Win surprised even her.

We may make color alterations to the controller in order to fulfill legal requirements of certain countries. Because of the number of countries that we have received orders from, and the small structure of the Delta Six controller team, we are unable to make guarantees for any country outside of the US. However, we do guarantee that if we are unable to deliver your controller to you for reasons outside of your control, we will issue you a full refund.

Why should 2006 be any different from 2005, 2004 or 2003? That's right. It's Dell using AMD chips rumor time once again.
It took less than two weeks for 2006 to be pumped full of the same rampant speculation that has followed the Dell and AMD non-relationship. As usual, Chairman Michael Dell lands at the center of the rumor spill. Dell claimed there's a "distinct possibility" that his company might use chips from AMD, during a post keynote question and answer session at last week's CES.
Dell, much more than CEO Kevin Rollins, likes to toss out these tidbits to mongrel hacks. We think this is one of the few pleasures the IT industry still offers the young billionaire.
As so often happens, a financial analyst will push Dell's rumor fluffing one step further. Enter PiperJaffray pundit Les Santiago.
"We strongly believe that Dell will start AMD-based system shipments as early as the second half of 2006," he wrote in a recent research note. "We further note that Michael Dell's recent comments noting the 'distinct possibility' of shipping AMD-based systems. Our conversations with sources further indicate that Dell's sales force is demanding Opteron-based server offerings to be able to better compete in the market."
Silly analyst. If history has taught us anything, it's that Dell sees no problem ignoring the performance, price and power consumption benefits of AMD's Opteron chip in favor of the marketing dollars that come bundled with Intel's steamy Xeon. Dell's sales staff has been asking for Opteron kit for ages but to no avail.
While Intel will trail AMD in overall performance for two to three years, it has likely done enough on the dual-core front to keep Dell loyal. Intel has a fine notebook chip lineup, a good desktop line and an adequate server chip line. That's all Dell asks. ®

Fibre optic connectors are the most efficient way to terminate fibre optic cable where quick connect and disconnect is required. Fibre optic signals work by the transference of light, so it is the purpose the connector to ensure that the light emitting through the fibre optic cable is uninterrupted as little as possible. The RS Range of connectors provide solutions for both single mode and multimode fibre optic cable.
Fibre optic cabling is designed to transfer information via light over long distances at highspeed. As such it is used in data transmission for telecommunications, and are commonly used in computer networking, audio transmission, sensors and power transmission. There are specialist fibre optic connectors to suit these applications.
How Do They Work
In fibre optic connections, it is vital that the fibre faces are firmly pressed together, resulting in strong signal and low insertion loss, and to this end most fibre optic connectors are spring loaded to ensure maximum glass to glass or plastic to plastic connection.
Range of Connectors
The RS Range of fibre optic connectors supply solutions for FC, LC, SC and ST applications.
The FC, or Ferrule Connector, is a heavy duty Fibre Optic connector with secure threaded connection. Also known as a Fibre Channel connector, it is designed with high vibration environments in mind, and is typically used in more rugged datacom and telecommunications applications.
The SC, or Standard Connector, features an easy to use push pull latching system for quick connect and disconnect. These fibre optic connectors have a 2.5mm ferrule and are suitable for many Datacom and telecom applications.
The LC, or Local Connector, is a smaller version of the SC connector with a 1.25mm ferrule and is commonly used in single mode applications. Its smaller size can be an advantage when space saving is a concern.
The ST, or Straight Tip Connector, uses a 2.5mm ferrule and is known for its secure and convenient bayonet mating style. Due to the rigidity and convenience of their connection, ST connectors are commonly used in networking applications.
MPO, or Multi fibre Push On Connectors, are used for ribbon style fibre optic cables with up to twenty four fibres, and is used for high speed fibre optic applications.

In the past, many computer journalists have tried to explain advanced concepts such as object-oriented programming by comparing the activity to building applications by connecting smaller components in the same way a child assembles LEGO bricks. While early object-oriented programming environments such as Smalltalk were originally intended for children, the reality of programming never quite lived up to the simplicity of the LEGO model. That has all changed now with Scratch, a project developed by Mitchel Resnick and his associates at MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten research group.
The group, recently noted by The Chronicle of Higher Education, was previously responsible for creating the popular LEGO Mindstorms series of programmable robotics kits. The designers were inspired to create Scratch because of the difficulties involved in teaching programming to young children—Scratch is designed for kids aged eight and up. The name comes from the technique used by disc jockeys to mix together existing records in creative ways.
Scratch is available as a free 35 MB download, and runs on both Windows and Mac OS X, with a Linux version currently in the works. The interface is divided up into several panels: lists of available programming operators and variables appear on the left-hand side, scripts, images, and sounds are in the middle, and the program itself is shown on the right.
Programming commands are separated into categories such as Motion and Sensing, and the commands themselves can be dragged and dropped into the scripts panel. Small "bumps" and distinctive shapes make it clear which command can connect to another: for example, the standard "IF...THEN...ELSE..." command is in yellow with a forked "E" shape, with a hole for a diamond-shaped conditional, and spaces for additional commands between the three prongs. Users can add new pictures and sounds either from a local hard drive or directly from the web, via drag-and-drop.
The Scratch user interface.
Scratch saves its finished files in its own .SB format, but users can upload their finished products to the Scratch home page with the click of a button, a very Web 2.0 addition. Other users can then download and comment on these projects. Some of the projects are simple, but others are more involved. An addictive puzzle game called Slider by Steve LoBasso consumed much of the time I was meant to be writing this review.
There is also an option to save the finished project without uploading it to the Scratch web site, which involves downloading a Java applet from the Scratch web site. The Java applet, which calls the .SB file directly, can then be embedded in any web site.
Scratch is an innovative idea for teaching the basics of programming and may well appeal to adults who used to program for fun but fell out of it for whatever reason. The interface makes it easy to get up and running very quickly while still allowing the flexibility to create more complex applications, and it's certainly worth mentioning to any kids/lapsed coders in your family.

ESA Bulletin 119 (August 2004)
A series of four Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites will provide more comprehensive and more frequent data to meteorologists and climate-monitoring scientists for at least the next 14 years. They will bring about a step change in the accuracy of our weather forecasting systems, with considerable benefits for people both in Europe and further afield.
Read online
These four geostationary satellites are being developed based on the combined expertise of ESA and EUMETSAT (the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites). With a thorough understanding of users' needs, EUMETSAT is making a major investment in the overall programme, including development of the ground segment, procurement of the launchers and follow-on satellites and operation of the MSG system from its own Mission Control Centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
