What are the challenges that gifted and creative individuals face at present?
Hi everyone! I am working on a research about the gifted and creative individuals. I'd like to know what are the challenges that the gifted and creative people experience in your country. Share your thoughts please :) Thanks!

Feb 23 2013: I should mention that everyone has a gifted mind and are creative. Except in some cases of neurological disorders. Everyone who has a well developed brain and neural system is therefore creative. We all have that potential. Now, it's up to us to develop that potential. Some environments are more favorable to the development of creative potential. In some countries, people can't satisfy their basic needs. Therefore, they don't focus on their creative sides. They strive everyday to find food, shelter and security. In these cases, their energy is spent on satisfying basic needs. When you don't practice something, it will not become habitual. Therefore, it will not be a part of your character.

Crawdaddy! was the first U.S. magazine of rock music criticism. Dawning before the rise of both Rolling Stone and Creem magazines, Crawdaddy! was conceived by a 17-year-old Paul Williams in his dorm room at Swarthmore College. Crawdaddy! caught on quickly and grew from a fanzine to a full-fledged magazine with newsstand distribution. It is remembered by many as the true voice of rock 'n' roll.

Welcome to the Chinook Owners Association (COA)
the original national parent club for the Chinook dog. The COA was founded by the core group of people responsible for the recovery of the Chinook breed from its near extinction in 1981, when only eleven breedable dogs remained. Since that time, beginning with a group of four families and augmented over the years by other dedicated individuals and families, we have rebuilt the breed slowly and carefully.
We in the COA celebrate the historical Chinook in all its various colors, including the dominant tawny with black markings, cream markings, or no markings at all, black and tan, gray and tan, or the lighter colors of buff, honey, and biscuit with gold markings. We believe that form should follow function; as some say, the ears and color don't pull the sled. Our dogs retain their historical ability to pull and our members earn titles through our Working Dog Program. Even suburban pets can earn a Pack Dog title for carrying their own food on hikes or a Sled Dog title for pulling a bike over community trails.
The United Kennel Club (UKC) is the second oldest all-breed dog breed registry in the US and second largest in the world. It was founded in 1898 and from the start focused on the "Total Dog" concept, a dog that both looked good and could do the job it was originally designed to do. So when we were looking for a registry to take over the studbook of the recovering Chinook population in the early 1990s, the UKC was by far the best fit.
The COA has been on the forefront of using both art and science of genetics for the betterment of our breed. We were one of the first to use a DNA Parent Verification Program to back up our paper records while transferring our studbook to the UKC in the early 1990s. Later, with the full cooperation of the UKC, we undertook a CrossBreeding Program to infuse fresh genes from our foundation breeds into our present population. Today we are using the science of population genetics to trace our breed's pedigrees back to its inception and then analyze the true breeding population in order to make the best breeding decision possible so we can retain as much genetic diversity as possible and where we will need future infusions of fresh genes from our Cross Program.
The COA encourages members to participate in UKC-sponsored dog shows, competitive weight pulls, obedience and agility trials, and other fun performance events. We're proud of our dogs that do it all, in addition to participating in just dog shows, and we invite you to explore our website to see some of these activities. Or, depending on where you live, contact us and we'll put you in touch with local owners that will introduce you to their Chinooks so you too can meet some real dogs having real fun.

Working Dog Program
The Chinook Owners Association Working Dog Program (WDP) has been initiated to encourage owners to work with their dogs in the pursuits for which they were intended and provide certification to those dogs in those pursuits. The WDP reflects the Breed Standard to encourage the conformation, temperament, and working ability of the Chinook dog, and to encourage the breeding of better dogs. Details here.
Historical Document Collection
This new section in the Members Area (login required) contains 1000+ historical documents and images of Chinooks and the people associated with the breed through the years.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Governor Rick Snyder reportedly has four-million dollars in his campaign fund as he considers a run for re-election.
According to officials, the governor has raised over five-million dollars in the last year. A political adviser and spokesman for Snyder says the Republican governor raised the money while continuing a pledge from his 2010 campaign to not accept money from political action committees.
According to a draft summary page of Snyder's campaign finances, the governor ended 2012 with a balance of just under 830-thousand dollars, raised 5.1-million in 2013 and spent roughly two-million, leaving him with just over four-million in cash.

Where Have You Traveled on Your Journey?
Published on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 11:43am
In February, youth experienced a Picturing America and Black History Month program about Jacob Lawrence and The Great Migration. Library staff led youth in a discussion analyzing a print of the "Migration Series No. 57" by Lawrence. After their analysis, youth listened to a Whole Book Approach reading of Lawrence's book, The Great Migration. It was enlightening to listen to the youth's reactions to the painting and the book.
One of the most exciting things about the afternoon was the culminating arts activity in which the youth created their own migration collages answering the question: Where have you traveled on your journey? Here are images from the event and a photo of a Jacob Lawrence Migration Series recreation. The recreation was painted by students in Ms. Reeder's class at Roosevelt Senior High School.

Ring of Honor — Final Countdown Tour: Glory by Honor VIII

Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson say goodbye with one last wrestling clinic, and the American Wolves wage a ladder war on Kevin Steen & El Generico.
Ring of Honor — Final Countdown: Glory by Honor VIII
by J.D. Dunn
I know it seats fewer people, but I actually like the atmosphere of the Grand Ballroom.
September 26, 2009
From New York City, N.Y..
Your hosts are
Dave Prazak
Chris Hero.
Opening Match: Colt Cabana vs. Rhett Titus
Colt refuses to shake hands after Titus rubs his hand on his junk, so he wipes off Titus' hand with a towel. Titus tosses the towel at him and jumps Cabana. It's mostly Colt's comedy stuff until Titus hits a sick dropkick out of the corner. Very Holly-ish. Colt punches him in the mid-section to send Rhett into the Ted Dibiase sell. Colt hits the Flying Apple and avoids a second dropkick. The Billy Goat's Curse finishes at 6:32. Just a little mild, inoffensive comedy to get the fans into the show.
The Dark City Fight Club vs. Cheech & Cloudy.
The Fight Club looks characteristically surly. They isolate Cheech for much of the match. Cloudy is left to act like a gnat and irritate them. Up in Smoke use their doubleteams to even things up. Davis POUNCES Cheech to break up Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Cheech (the 619/dropkick combo). I think Cheech went back in time on that one. That leaves Cloudy alone to take the Greater Good (powerbomb/neckbreaker combo) at 9:45. I love a good drubbing.
Claudio Castagnoli (w/Prince Nana & Mr. Ernesto Osiris) vs. Kenny Omega.
Castagnoli goes fully European with a glove slap. His honor impugned, Omega produces a glove and slaps Castagnoli. Claudio counters the froggy crossbody to a Samoan Drop. They take it to the floor where Omega moonsaults off the corner onto Claudio. A second attempt at the crossbody frogsplash gets two. Claudio counters something to the UFO (Unidentified Flying Opponent, aka no-hands airplane spin). The Ricolabomb is countered to a small package! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! The pop-up uppercut puts Omega down, though. Omega hits the Hadouken to set up the reverse rana. Claudio blocks Croyt's Wrath, though, and goes low with a mule kick. Oooh, right in the jubblies. That sets up a wicked uppercut for the win at 9:37. Omega continues to impress, and he looks comfortable in the babyface challenger role. The fans are really taking to him, too. Claudio is a cut above right now, though.
The American Wolves
say they'll be ready for Ladder War II.
Bret Hart
comes out to reminisce about his fn times in New York – mainly with his brother Owen, Mr. Perfect, and Yokozuna. He says if he could wrestle again, it would be in NYC.
Four-Corner Survival: Sonjay Dutt vs. Delirious (w/Daizee Haze) vs. Roderick Strong vs. Grizzly Redwood.
Sonjay goes after Daizee early, so Delirious jumps him from behind. If Russo books, it turns out Daizee likes being violated and falls in love with Sonjay. In the ring, Strong tosses Grizzly into the corner with this "Freaky Retard Strength" (tm CM Punk). Strong lifts Delirious for the apron backbreaker only to have Grizzly clip him from behind. Roderick completes the move on his way down. Sonjay recovers and jumps Grizzly from behind. Everyone winds up in the corner for the super stacked superplex/powerbomb tower of doom!!! Grizzly gets the best of that and rips off his shirt. THIS IS WHERE THE POWER LIES! Grizzly cleans house on Sonjay and Delirious, but Delirious catches him coming off the top. Strong hits an AWESOME dropkick on Delirious, and now we HIT THE CHOPS! Sonjay hits the satellite headscissors, and Grizzly goes for the Tornado DDT. Roderick tosses him, though. Sonjay breaks up Shadows over Hell, but Roderick kicks him senseless. Sonjay fights Roderick off and hits the Shiranui. Delirious breaks up the pin but gets tossed into Grizzly. Sonjay spies Daizee and pulls his pants down. Ewww. That backfires as Roderick hits him with the Flying Yakuza and the SICKEST Tiger Bomb you will ever see! ONE, TWO, THREE! Roderick picks up a big win at 11:42. I've never been the biggest Dutt fan, but I like this sleazy character. Roderick always looks good when he can toss guys around. And what's with Grizzly Redwood coming on all of a sudden?! Fun little spotfest.
ROH Tag Team Titles, Ladder War: The American Wolves (w/Shane Hagadorn) vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico.
Edwards is coming in with a broken arm, which draws an "Eddie Edwards" chant from the crowd in admiration of the man's balls. He gets no such respect from Steen who goes right after him and tries to bite his face off. Steenerico use the ladder to clothesline both Wolves. The Wolves keep Steen from going up, but he suplexes Davey on the ladder. The Wolves backdrop Generico on a ladder and
Kevin Steen. With Steen helpless, that leaves Generico to take the superkick/German through a table. Davey wraps a chain on his leg and kicks Steen with it. Steen punts Davey in the nuts and knocks Edwards over as he's going up. Generico recovers enough to hit DOUBLE YAKUZA KICKS! That leaves Hagadorn alone, and Generico steals the key from him. FREE STEEN! The match enters a lull as Steen sets up tables on the floor. The challengers set up tables in the corners of the ring and a ladder in the middle. On the outside, Steen sets up a table on top of a ladder stretched across the apron and barricade. Well, this all seems very complicated. Edwards takes a wicked chairshot from Generico and gets spinebustered into a ladder. They put the Wolves on the tables and prepare to splash them from the ladder, but Davey shoves the ladder over. Edwards wipes out Steen with a DDT through a nearby table. Generico and Richards go up. Generico fights him off long enough to hit the SUPER SUNSETBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE! Richards' thousand-yard stare rivals the
desperate look at
. Edwards storms back in, and Generico tries it again. This time, though, Edwards backdrops him through the table! Everyone take a second to recover, and Generico wipes out Richards with a tope under the ladder and through the ropes. Steen goes up the big-ass ladder, but Edwards recovers enough to shove him over. TIIIIIMBEERRRRRR! Steen plummets through the table and ladder at ringside! Edwards and Generico battle it out on top of the ladder. Edwards fights him off just long enough for Davey to hit Generico with the chair. That sets up a half-crab through the rungs of the ladder. Davey climbs over his partner to retrieve the belts at 23:56. Another insane ladder war (only the second in ROH history, which thankfully keeps them fresh). Steen and Generico's willingness to kill themselves and Edwards' toughness were the story here. Most of the spots have been done before, sure, but it was the intensity and desperation that set this apart.
Grudge Match: Chris Hero (w/Shane Hagadorn) vs. Eddie Kingston.
These two hate each other in every promotion they've ever been in, so this is no surprise. In this particular instance, Hero begged Kingston to invade ROH as part of CZW's army back in 2006. Then, when the opportunity arose, Hero jumped to ROH, leaving Kingston in the smaller indies. Kingston mauls him but gets distracted by Hagadorn. That allows Hero to knock him off the apron and hit the blind senton. A slugfest erupts back in the ring, which Kingston wins. He follows up with a woeful suicida. When you don't generate enough momentum to make the opponent take a step back, that might not be one to keep in your cache. Kingston busts Hero open with a headbutt. Back in, Kingston gets two off the uranage, but Hero hits a blockbuster. Hero powerbombs him for two, but Kingston hits a Fallaway Slam. The crowd is marginally interested. Yeah, it's hard to follow the Ladder War. The Deathblow only gets two, and Kingston hits an Exploder. Hero pops up and hits the Cravatplex. Kingston pops up. FIGHTING SPIRIT! Kingston hits a backdrop driver and retrieves Hero's elbowpad. Hagadorn hops in and gets nailed with the loaded backfist. That allows Hero to produce a second tailor-made loaded elbowpad. He waffles Kingston with the elbowpad for the win at 16:08. I had higher hopes for this. I'm not big on "strong style," especially when it's strong-style-in-name-only, and the fans needed a breather after Ladder War. It was a bit unfair to put this here.
Austin Aries
comes out to announce that he's going to do the Austin Aries Lucky Lottery right here tonight. He draws Bret Hart's name, but, of course, Bret isn't there to wrestle and doesn't answer the call.
Petey Williams
does, though, so we get…
ROH World Title: Austin Aries vs. Petey Williams.
Aries suckerpunches him in mid-promo, but Petey schoolboys him and knocks him on his ass. Aries tries to worm out, but
Todd Sinclair
isn't having it. Petey goes for the Canadian Destroyer and Sharpshooter early, but Aries scurries to the floor and hits a double ax-handle. Back in, Aries locks in the stump-puller. Petey counters the Pendulum Elbow to the Sharpshooter, but Aries goes to the eyes. Petey slingshots into a Codebreaker for two. Aries counters the Destroyer to multiple shinbreakers and a figure-four leglock. Petey makes the ropes, but Aries switches up to the Last Chancery. Williams knees out of the Brainbuster once but gets dropped on a second try. ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! I should note that the fans take to chanting "Twinkies" after every count. I assume that's a Todd Sinclair thing. A series of reversals leads to the CANADIAN DESTROYER! ONE, TWO, THRE-hand on the ropes. Sharpshooter, but Aries rolls through and sends Petey to the floor. HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE! Petey narrowly makes it to the ring at 19. Aries locks in the Last Chancery, but they're in the ropes. Aries sets him on top and goes for the Avalanche Brainbuster. Petey fights him off and hits the SUPER CANADIAN DESTROYER! Holy shit! Aries bounces to the edge and pulls himself to the floor to save the title. Petey hauls him up, but Aries hits the Brainbuster on the floor and squirts back in the ring at 18 to earn the cheap countout at 20:00. I think, like Sonjay, Petey took a little while to get out of the TV mindset of hitting your spots and going home by the commercial break, but this was a nice rollercoaster ride. Aries's cowardly actions in keeping his title are at least a little fresher than the monster heels we've been used to. Most ROH fans will probably balk at that statement, but sometimes you need to change things up a bit.
Jim Cornette
makes a surprise return, wanting to set the record straight. He did not go after Vince Russo's throat. Instead, he says he was released because he didn't agree with TNA's creative direction. He's sick of seeing leprechauns beat up grown men and men holding women's titles. He says the bigger companies can buy stars, but ROH makes stars. He wants to be involved in that, so he's accepted the position of ROH on HDNet Executive Producer.
Austin Aries
interrupts and says Jimmy Corn is only in ROH because he rubs everyone the wrong way. Haha! If you know anything about Aries, you know what that's funny. He also says Vince Russo is like his own brother. This keeps getting funnier. Cornette says Aries will have to keep his belt by defending it against the best talent in ROH. Aries threatens to make Jim Cornette the first "Triple Crown Winner" as the first man to get fired by the WWE, TNA
ROH. Well, let's see what happens with Teddy Hart.
In the back, a distraught Eddie Kingston is consoled by…
Julius Smokes
The Briscoe Bros. vs. The Young Bucks.
The Bucks work Jay's arm early, but he pulls Nick into a doublestomp from Matt. Since these teams have faced off before, they do all sorts of cool spots where they avoid each other's regular spots. That reaches an apex as they toss Nick to the floor and then LAUNCH Matt over the corner post on top of him. Nick plays the face-in-peril after that. He comes back with the back elbow into the spinning front kick. HOT TAG TO MATT! Matt spears Mark, and the Bucks hit the moonsault/splash combo for two. Jay returns with the Military Press to the DVD. The Briscoes set up for the Doomsday Device, but Matt breaks it up. Both teams exchange superkicks, and everyone is down. Matt powerbombs Mark into Nick's knees and hits a flipping Diamond Dust. Mark fights out of trouble with an Exploder and enzuigiri. Jay returns for the Jaydriller, but Nick breaks up the pin. The Briscoes set up for the Doomsday Device again, but Nick breaks it up. MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! The Bucks pick up a huge upset win at 11:03. The Bucks looked great here, walking the fine line between sympathetic babyfaces and guys who the crowd would view as glorified jobbers. Most importantly, they played to their strengths – doubleteams, speed and resourcefulness – to get the win, rather than something that would be out of character.
Nigel McGuinness vs. Bryan Danielson
This is the last ROH match for both men, so everyone is sufficiently emotional… except for Chris Hero, so I'm turning off the commentary. Say, that does come in handy. Stalemate early as they go after each others arms but eventually each man can escape. Finally, Nigel stops to mock Danielson's "best in the world" and gets bitch-slapped. Many o' sadistic arm twist follows from both guys. Danielson hits a diving headbutt to the shoulder. Nigel gets trapped in the Triangle Choke, but his legs fall on the ropes. Danielson HAS 'TIL FIVE, THOUGH! Nigel rolls through Cattle Mutilation and turns it into the Tower of London! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Great counter there. Nigel gets tossed to the audience, and Danielson follows with the long-jump plancha into the crowd! Danielson emerges busted open. Nigel drops him on the floor and tries to take the countout win. Danielson squirts back in, though, at 19. Nigel implores him to just die already and hits the Tower of London on the apron. LONDON DUNGEON! Dragon gets out of it and hits the lightning legline. Nigel rebounds! JAWBREAKER LARIAT! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Nigel goes back to the London Dungeon. He switches up to the London Dungeon across the knees. Danielson slips out and hits the Trapped Elbows, but Nigel reverses to his own. Dragon hulks up and hits a forearm smash. JAWBREAKER LARIAT! Dragon recovers and stomps Nigel's face in. TRIANGLE CHOKE! Nigel rolls it over for two, but Danielson rolls it back over and adds elbows until Nigel can't answer anymore. Todd Sinclair stops the fight at 28:23. On par with some of their best efforts, featuring all the things we've come to expect from them plus the added benefit of an emotional groundswell.
The locker room empties to lead everyone in a standing ovation. The crowd chants, "Thank you both."
Nigel: "I had a lot of stuff I wanted to say, but that bastard clamdigger knocked me out and I can't remember it." He puts over ROH.
Danielson tries to tries to put over the rest of the roster, but the fans want him to be a little selfish. He even puts over Todd Sinclair. Todd looks a little choked up. Big "Todd Sinclair" chant. Someone in the crowd asks him to punch John Cena in the ear. Well, that'd be a quick way to get Danielson back in ROH.
Play "Final Countdown" and we're out.
Well, not quite. Danielson cuts off the music and leaves to chants of "ROH."

(FOX 11) Fifteen declarations, part of a lawsuit filed on behalf
Kings County and Central Valley farmers, bring out some heavy hitters. Among the declarations is one by Judge Quentin Kopp, a
former state senator and superior court judge, whose legislation created the
California High-Speed Rail Authority in 1996.
Kopp, who was also a chairman of the rail
authority and a major force behind Prop 1-A bullet train law, says voters
have been betrayed.
"The way they're propagating this so-called plan now is
contrary and it's in violation of explicit and carefully debated and written
provisions of Prop 1-A," he says.
Mike Brady, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, invites all
Californians to read the declarations.
"Prop 1-A was an initiative and an initiative is different
than a statute," he says. "No discretion is given to the Authority. None of
these terms like 'blended' or 'phased' or 'building part of it' is acceptable.
No way. You don't get any flexibility with an initiative. So that's what
they're up against. And keep in mind, these declarations are evidence of that."
Paul Jones, a high-speed rail engineer who designed three
systems in Spain and Korea, says the rail authority will not be able to meet
its promise to voters that the train will be able to make it from Los Angeles
to San Francisco in two hours and forty minutes.
"The modifications that the rail
authority have made in their design and their plans and particularly the
blended approach make that time virtually impossible to achieve," says Jones.

Georgia Tech's top basketball recruit said the Yellow Jackets are still his No. 1 choice after Saturday's firing of coach Paul Hewitt.
Milton High power forward Julian Royal signed with Tech over rival Georgia last November. Royal said he will wait at a week and maybe longer before considering other options, including a scholarship release.
"I still want to go to Georgia Tech; it's a great school and it has always been the place I've wanted to go to since I was a little kid," Royal said.
"However, you never know about the new coach and if you're the type of player that will fit into his system. I hope it works out, but I guess I will have to wait to see how everything unfolds."
Royal's father was contacted by both Hewitt and Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich in separate phone calls on early Saturday morning.
"Paul was apologetic that we have to go through this situation because he feels like we're really good people, we strongly supported him, and we wanted him to be our son's coach," said Charles Royal.
"During the recruiting process, I asked Paul about his future with the program and I was satisfied with his answers at the time. I'm saddened by Saturday's news. But we have to move forward and that's pretty much it."
Radakovich called to explain the firing and to request some short-term patience with Tech's coaching search before Royal begins to look elsewhere.
"Dan said he wishes things could be different, but that he had to do what he felt was in the best interests of the program," the elder Royal said.
"Dan said they were going to aggressively look for a new coach. As it was put to me, the protocol is to wait 10-12 days while they are looking for a suitable replacement before considering other possibilities. If that's what they need, we feel like we owe them that much, so we'll do that."
Last week, the 6-foot-8 Royal said he would re-open his recruiting if Hewitt was not retained. On Saturday, he confirmed that remains an option.
"Right now, we're going to see how things go over the next week," his father said. "[Tech] is a good school. That will never change. Would I like for my son to go there? Sure I would. But it would have to be under the right situation.
"Let's be clear: A lot of basketball coaches think Julian is a great fit for their system, but not everybody does. We'd be crazy to force Julian on a new coach if he's not a good fit. I know that's a worst-case scenario but that's a reality in college basketball.
"We want to have an open and honest conversation with the new coach about how he feels about Julian with what he's trying to do with the overall program."
When asked if switching to co-finalist Georgia would be a future possibility, the younger Royal replied, "I haven't thought about anything past Georgia Tech at this point. I'm waiting to see how it goes there."

I spit out my drink and laughed for about 25 mins. By the time I was able to type again, the topic had been moved way on.
Thanks for the great laugh today Techies!!!
Go watch these low, low calibar conference championship games today and tomorrow and scout out your future coach.

I can't believe that Radakovich convinced Royal to wait 12 days before requesting a release. That's an eternity in the middle of March with the late signing period creeping up in April.
Royal should've asked for and been granted a release by Radakovich during today's phone call — with the understanding that he would hear out GT's new coach.
Another day as a recruit of a team with NO COACH … .. is a day wasted.

"Innocent Bystander" is another one of the countless Techies who doesn't understand that UGA hates Tech just as much as Tech hates UGA.
Tech parades their ugly a– car around the field before every football game with a "to hell with Georgia" flag displayed from it's front bumper, and it's considered "glorious" to Tech. But if a UGA fan comes on a public blog and displays hatred for the team who prides themselves on hating us, it is considered "obsession" and/or "classless"
to HELL with georgia tech.

Hey Tech = pompous, if you want a really good laugh look at your own BB coach. Loved that timeout. Just wait until Feltons 2 first rounders leave. And don't forget about that top-recruiting, no winning, jailbird, 6-7 joke of a football program.
March 12th, 2011
8:20 pm
I still say he should stay at Tech. Maybe the new coach can teach the kid to be more agressive going to the hole and keep the ball over his head. After his super sub par performance in the final 4, I don't know if anyone is gonna come knocking down the door now. I don't think even UGA would re-open it's recruit offer, especially after being spurned the first time and his outrageous play in the tournament. His low post presence was left at home in the tourney, when the needed him most. 3 times he put the ball on the floor, while being the wingman in the corner and lost it 3 times while trying to break a press. Going to the hole on a few ocasions he's trying to shoot from the hip or scoop underneath, that is not the play of a 6′8″ power forward. Got outrebounded and outplayed. Norcross had a slew of offensive boards last night. Actually I think Milton got it spark when he was on the bench and went up by 15 at one point. Of course, can't blame everything on the kid, I think Coach Boyd mad a huge mistake when he slowed down the pace. Norcross just chipped away, and with no post presence, Milton was doomed.

I am just curious,
For all the Techies who think overall historic National Titles are a direct reflection as to how good you are TODAY, and point out Tech has 4 and UGA 1, why do you not count the shared National Championship UGA got in 1942??
UGA flies a flag in Sanford Stadium for the 1942 season. I believe the final AP poll may read Ohio State, but others had UGA or a share of Ohio State and UGA.
Sounds VERY similar to the 1990 NC that Tech loves to claim. So why not at least give UGA credit for the 1942??
It doesn't bother me either way, I actually enjoy listening to Techies spew that kind of talk. But if somebody can come up with an explanation I would be interested to hear it.

I'd say the "choke job" in a single game is totally eclipsed by the "choke job" of a season on North Ave.
And trust me, not a soul in Dawg Nation is crucially devastated about our basketball team. I along with every other Dawg fan/student/alumni will gladly admit that we get excited about our hoop-dawgs when they have a chance to do something exciting, but 99% of the time when they don't, we have no second thoughts on them.
Hopefully our team name gets called tomorrow night, if not……. okay.

Thanks to Paul for his efforts over the past 11 years and upholding the honor and integrity of all that makes GA Tech great; I wish him the very best.

Nice to see that CPH called Julian Royal. I expect that if Royal wants his release, GT will give it. Due to the conference rules, he won't be able to play at a different ACC school next year but he would be able to play at UGA if given his release.

Yes. I admit to being a fairweather basketball fan.
I simply do not relate to basketball, and fail to grasp any nostalgic meaning of the game.
I watch when it's worth watching, and if we lose I feel very little if any emotion. And if you check the UGA basketball records, yes, we have a loooooong history of failing to be great.
Sorry I am willing to admit and point these things out. Guess I am scum??

Tech did the only thing that could be done under the circumstance. Hewitt certainly is a classy guy, but his coaching is suspect. UGA has an exciting BB team under Coach Fox, and the future holds much promise. Maybe Tech will feel the same in a couple of years.
As for Julian Royal, he certainly should go to Tech. If it has always been his dream, he should follow that. Any coach worthwhile, and I am sure Tech will choose one, can take an athlete and make room for him. The downside for him is that there probably will not be any championships during the majority of his time at Tech.
No Tech envy here, for I am one that feels that UGA has as much to offer as Tech in all areas, and more in some. Both schools deserve competitive teams to compliment a fine education.

Its also customary not to let a player go to a team on your schedule if they request a release in football. Is that true in basketball?
March 13th, 2011
12:16 am
I would expect GT to give Royal a release to go to UGA if requested. Daniel Miller was originally a UGA recruit who asked for, and received, his release after Fox' predecessor was fired. Even if GT were to give Royal a release, he would not be able to be on scholarship at another ACC school in 2011-12 due to conference rules. Marcus Thornton signed with Clemson and received his release when Purnell quit. If Thornton had gone to GT this year, rather than UGA, he would have had to pay his own way.

D A DoubleU G -
No, but it is interesting that there seem to be more posts from UGA (sic) fans than Tech fans on the Tech blog. And before you trot out that crap about how that's because Tech fans are so bad, it's actually because Tech fans have figured out there's lots of other blogs where they can have intelligent discussions about Tech athletics without some Dawg posting the score from the last football game 20 times. Well, and the fact that intelligent discussions rarely occur on the AJC's sports blogs.
We also find it interesting because most Dawg fans say that Tech is an afterthought to them and that Tech is not significant enough for them to hate. At least you can acknowledge the rivalry.
March 13th, 2011
1:54 am
Most teams apply a conditional release…you can leave if you don't go to such and such school. Doubt Tech would release him to an ACC school or to UGA. Indeed if push came to shove he could have to go to a non-D1 school or lose a year of eligibility.

.. I don't know… Double A… I took the Bama loss pretty bad and came out of the Dome knowing that we might have given KY all they could handle with the "pressure" finally off… As a student I lived and died in Stegman with Stick man (Lavon Mercer), Dorsey and others finally putting BBall on the map for us. We finally have a Coach in Fox who I believe looks at this job as a Destination job. The one thing about Tech, they are in Atlanta and recruits love the Big City. If they get the right coach…BBall will matter again at both schools and the rivalry will be healthy and Good… THWGT!!!
March 13th, 2011

GT will find out how well respected they re in the world of college basketball. Their new coach at best, will be from only from a mid major school.
Candidates will come from a Furman or East TN State or Millsaps College or Rollins College of maybe even mighty Chattanooga U. How about Elon College?? Hmmmm?

Does it make a difference if Royal is released. He had a soft tournament, not dominant in the post and got outrebounded.
March 13th, 2011

If you watched Julian Royal in the State Tournament he was a non-factor. Will never be a power forward in the ACC. Another very over rated HS prospect. Does he have potential? Yes, however he is the same type of player as Glenn Rice Jr.;sporadic offense, little defense and weak in the paint. He will be a role player at the next level at best. Seems to be a good kid but will need a lot of work on his game and in the weight room
March 13th, 2011

The coach is already known but is with a team going to the dance and mostly will not be in the final four. That is why it was said he will be on board before then. If the team does make the final four then it will be announced a day or two later.

Hey techies:
UGA did not lose the game because of a questionable "timeout," it lost because they once again, cannot hit foul shots when they need them. Personally, I liked Coach Hewitt and thought he was a stand-up guy. He also ran a clean program which is more than I can say for Calipari. That guy is a cheat!
March 13th, 2011

Some of you GT fans are pathetic. Yes, we choked against Bama — Fox has not figured out how to finish a game when he has a lead. OTOH, how many times has UGA basketball teams beat you when you had Superior talent in BBall?
March 14th, 2011

Who cares if he comes to Tech!!! Did you see him play Friday night, the kid will get eaten alive in the ACC. He was a non factor in a high school game. Looks very soft.

To all Techies, enjoy the NCAA tournament watching a real BB team! I don't mean just UGA, just all 68 teams in the tournament!!! Tech is and will always be 2nd rate in Georgia!!! WE RUN THIS STATE!!!

The Calapari to Tech isn't as much of a stretch as you may think. After he gets UK put on probation (as history says he will) then he will need to go somewhere right?

Sustained long-term climate warming
NASA scientists say 2012 was the ninth warmest of any year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures.
With the exception of 1988, the nine warmest years in the 132-year record all have occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest years on record.
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, which monitors global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis, recently released an updated analysis that compares temperatures around the globe in 2012 to the average global temperature from the mid-20th century.
The comparison shows how Earth continues to experience warmer temperatures than several decades ago.
The average temperature in 2012 was about 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit (14.6 Celsius), which is 1.0 F (0.6 C) warmer than the mid-20th century baseline. The average global temperature has rose about 1.4 degrees F (0.8 C) since 1880, according to the new analysis.
Scientists emphasize that weather patterns always will cause fluctuations in average temperature from year to year, but the continued increase in greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere assures a long-term rise in global temperatures.
Each successive year will not necessarily be warmer than the year before, but on the current course of greenhouse gas increases, scientists expect each successive decade to be warmer than the previous decade.

Volunteer coordinators needed for program
The American Cancer Society has an urgent need for volunteer coordinators to manage the Road to Recovery program's daily drivers in Brevard County.
The Road to Recovery program is operated by volunteers who drive local cancer patients to and from lifesaving chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments.
The society needs volunteer coordinators to match patients with drivers and schedule trips to and from treatments.
An integral part of treating cancer successfully is making sure cancer patients receive their treatments, but many find making transportation arrangements is a challenge.
The American Cancer Society provided more than 3,100 cancer patients with rides to treatment in Florida last year.
If you or someone you know can help this program continue to get patients to their treatments, call Gina Becker at (407) 581-2535 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Classroom volunteers needed
Junior Achievement of Central Florida is seeking business and community members to serve as classroom volunteers for students in middle and high schools. JA mentors educate students about financial literacy, work readiness, entrepreneurship and the importance of the free enterprise system.
Volunteer opportunities are available at three levels and require approximately one-hour per week for five-to-seven sessions, depending on the program.
Training is held monthly.
For more information, contact Rachel Whitmire at (407) 898-2121, Ext. 30, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Surfers rescue loggerhead sea turtle
Sea turtles have survived for more than 150 million years, however, marine reptiles are threatened by humans, who are competing for their natural habitat.
This is especially true in Florida, which hosts the highest number of nesting sea turtles in the continental United States.
Recently, the Sea Turtle Preservation Society received a phone call from a surfer at Spessard Holland Park saying that a sick or injured sea turtle was on the beach.
When STPS receives a call, a trained volunteer, authorized by Florida Fish and Wildlife, to conduct stranding and salvage activities is dispatched.
If the turtle is alive, the stranding volunteer is authorized to take the turtle to one of Florida's sea turtle rehabilitation centers.
The Loggerhead stranded at Spessard Holland Park was transported to Sea World, where it will be examined, given appropriate medical treatment; and when it is well enough, will be returned to the sea.
If you find a sea turtle on the beach that appears to be ill or injured, do not return it to the water or try to administer first aid. If it is a hot sunny day, provide shade for the turtle or cover the turtle with a wet towel. Sea turtles are reptiles and need to breathe air to live. Do not place them in a bucket of water.
For sea turtle emergencies, call the Sea Turtle Preservation Society Emergency Number at (321) 206-0646.

About the sea turtle society
The Sea Turtle Preservation Society is a registered 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization. The society relies on the donations from the public, its membership and the efforts of its dedicated volunteers.
Contributions are tax-deductible, as allowable by law.
Active volunteers are permitted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Bureau of Imperiled Species and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to work with endangered and threatened sea turtles. The STPS is not, however, an enforcement agency.
The purpose of the organization is to educate the public about marine turtles.
STPS reaches thousands of people each year through public presentations, exhibits at area events and by turtle watches during the sea turtle nesting season.
The society's goal is to help maintain the current sea turtle population and to prevent a potentially irreversible decline in that population through:
Reducing disturbances and harassment of nesting sea turtles by public education about the hazards of nighttime beach activities, habitat destruction and beach lighting.
Increasing the hatchling survival rate by educating the public about the impact of lighting, beach debris, habitat destruction and marine pollution.
Supporting the Archie Carr Wildlife Refuge Fund.
Rescuing hatchlings, post-hatchlings and adult sea turtles and transporting them to permitted rehabilitation facilities.
Contributing data to the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.
Participating in Keep Brevard Beautiful.

Supermarket donates to hunger project
Winn-Dixie recently presented The Children's Hunger Project with a check, representing $2,500 to benefit the nonprofit's backpack program, which ensures that elementary school-aged children have weekend meals in order to provide a healthy foundation for the school week ahead.
Immediately following the presentation, seven Winn-Dixie store directors, along with their district director, went straight to work. The donation was used to purchase necessary items for weekend food packs the Project regularly provides. Then, the directors assembled them at stations set up inside the Palm Bay Winn-Dixie location and delivered the food packs to the project's warehouse.
These efforts will help feed 625 Brevard County children in need.
This donation would not be possible without Winn-Dixie team members of 16 area stores participating in their "My Dollar Makes a Difference" campaign this past holiday season.
Winn-Dixie's partnership with The Children's Hunger Project has led to 10 stores regularly assembling and selling $5 and $10 bags of food, as a simple solution for shoppers to donate.

No. 1 spot in steals per game
Florida Tech's own Julius Reid has led the entire country in steals per game for weeks, as he is now averaging 4.19 steals per contest. Reid has ranked No. 1 in the nation since he took over the NCAA Division II lead on Dec. 16, 2012.
Through the Panthers' first 16 games, the senior guard from Cocoa has swiped 67 steals. Last week, he picked four steals against Nova Southeastern and one against Florida Southern.
LSU's Anthony Hickey remains the Division I leader at 3.80 steals per game, while Lynchburg's Xavier Parham still leads Division III at four.
Reid is inching closer to a second top-25 ranking, assists per game. He has dished out 84 assists this season for an average of 5.3 assists per game, which ranks 28th in Division II and first in the Sunshine State Conference. St. Anselm's Dino Mallios occupies the top position, heading into the week at 7.8.
In addition to his steals and assists per game averages, Reid ranks third on the team in scoring at 15.5 points per game and first in rebounding at 6.3 rebounds per game.

Economic benefit in expanding tourism
A recent TaxWatch study indicates that the Florida tourism industry reaching the milestone of 100 million annual visitors would create 121,298 jobs and increase overall personal income for Floridians by $5.3 billion.
Results from a dynamic econometric model indicate that reaching the milestone of 100 million annual visitors would create 121,298 jobs, of which 114,318 would be private non-farm jobs. Direct tourism jobs make up 50.7 percent of the total, with indirect and induced jobs accounting for the other 49.3 percent. The estimated average salary of these newly created jobs is $43,751.75. Personal income for Floridians would increase by $5.3 billion.
TaxWatch is a statewide, independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit taxpayer research institution devoted to protecting and promoting the political and economic freedoms of Floridians.

Volunteer at the warbird museum
The Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum has several openings for volunteers in the tour guide program.
If you have a passion for vintage warbirds, their legacy and that of the pilots who flew them, are at least 18 years old and enjoy meeting the public; we may have a terrific volunteer opportunity for you. Exhibit and display information will be provided.
This may involve considerable walking, as you lead tours around the facility during what is normally a weekly, four-hour volunteer shift.
This is a unique opportunity to not only learn about aviation history from WWI to present, but to pass that knowledge along to the public.
As a tourist destination for visitors from around the world, you are just as likely to meet a couple from Russia, as you are a family from Rockledge.
Since the museum is open seven days a week, there is plenty of flexibility for scheduling.
In addition to tour guiding, volunteers will also have the opportunity to work at the annual Warbird Airshow, as well as many other special events during the year.
If you have an aviation background, are prior military, or are just interested in history, it may be one of the best, most rewarding personal opportunities that you can find.
The Valiant Air Command is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport, 6600 Tico Road, in Titusville.

Wind speed monitor going to space station
In a clever reuse of hardware, originally built to test parts of NASA's QuikScat satellite, the agency will launch the ISS-RapidScat instrument to the International Space Station in 2014 to measure ocean-surface wind speed and direction.
The ISS-RapidScat instrument will help improve weather forecasts, including hurricane monitoring and understanding of how ocean-atmosphere interactions influence Earth's climate.
ISS-RapidScat will help fill the data gap created when QuikScat, which was designed to last two years but operated for 10, stopped collecting ocean wind data in late 2009.
A scatterometer is a microwave radar sensor used to measure the reflection or scattering effect produced, while scanning the surface of Earth from an aircraft or a satellite.
The instrument will be launched to the space station aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft. It will be installed on the end of the station's Columbus laboratory as an autonomous payload, requiring no interaction by station crewmembers. It is expected to operate aboard the station for two years.
For more information on NASA's scatterometry missions, visit http://winds.jpl.nasa.gov/index.cfm.

Animal guardians in the county
On behalf of Animal Guardians of Brevard, thank you: 6,000 spays and neuters and counting!
Animal Guardians of Brevard would like to express its sincerest thanks to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of North Brevard and to Brevard Community Animal Hospital for the work with Animal Guardians in providing affordable sterilization services.
Without the surgery, these outstanding clinics provide to those seeking assistance from Animal Guardians, many cats would have probably remained intact to breed uncontrollably. The sterilization of all these cats will ultimately prevent the births of hundreds or thousands of kittens doomed to die in shelters or on our streets.
Animal Guardians is the only organization in Brevard County whose primary purpose is to provide financial assistance to people who cannot afford this procedure.

No, Thanks
Trident Audio A-Range Dual ChannelThere are some recording consoles who by virtue first of their unique sound and secondly because of the historic recordings that were made on them, have developed an iconic, indeed very nearly sacred status. The Trident A-Range is one such console.Trident Studios was adopting the new 16 and 24 track tape machines in the early 1970s, and lead engineer Malcolm Toft along with Barry Porter designed the Trident A-Range console, which was subsequently used for major recordings by David Bowie, Queen, Rod Stewart, Elton John and numerous other major artists' most well-known recordings. There were only 13 original A-Range consoles made, so it is unlikely that you'll be strapping one into your own home studio anytime soon, but you can get the next best thing: two channels of direct replication.The A-Range Dual Channel is a rackmount strip containing two channels of the Trident A-range. Its EQ and its line/mic amplifier, and perhaps more importantly, the way the EQ and preamp work together to create a big rock sound that charmed a generation.Input sectionThe input section of the A-Range ® rack consists of a very high quality transformer-coupled discrete microphone amplifier and transformer-coupled discrete line amplifier designed specifically for professional audio applications.The microphone and line transformers are custom designed to the exact original Trident A-Range ® specifications.The microphone amplifier is designed to handle signal levels from -60dBu to as high as +10dBu without needing a separate pad switch. The 15-position combined mic/line gain switch is calibrated in accurate 5dB steps to provide precise matching of either microphone or line level signals. In conjunction with the 'Output' level control, very fine adjustment of signal level is achievable. The preamplifier exhibits very low noise while maintaining extremely fast transient response and a frequency response that extends beyond 40kHz. Naturally, best results are achieved when using a high quality condenser microphone. The microphone amplifier will also bring out the best in dynamic and ribbon microphones.EqualizationThe legendary A-Range ® equaliser is a unique and amazingly musical sounding equaliser - owing much to its all-discrete transistor circuitry and the use of inductors in the lower and upper mid range. The mid EQ sections are 'peaking', while the high and low range sections are 'shelving'.Each of the four bands is rotary-switch-selectable to any one of four frequencies, while individual push buttons engage the three high pass and three low pass filters.A novel feature of the original A-Range ® console and incorporated in this unit, is the use of long- throw faders for level adjustment, rather than rotary potentiometers. These faders feature a useful centre dedent at mid travel to denote zero boost or cut of the selected frequency. The use of faders makes it very easy to see not only when equalisation is being applied, but also the amount. A notable difference in the operation of the sliders on the rack unit, versus the original A-Range ® console, is one of physical orientation: the old console sliders move vertically, while the rack unit sliders move horizontally.Accordingly, on the consoles, the slider moved up to 'boost' and down to 'cut', whereas the rack version moves right to boost and left to cut. For most users, the layout adopted here will seem logical. However for some engineers, accustomed to working with old A-Range ® modules mounted sideways, this will seem backwards. This particular aspect of the design was the subject of much consideration but in the end, it was decided that the rack unit should have a more conventional 'right to boost, left to cut'.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

We often think of Earth as a 'blue marble' floating in the vacuum of space, but a new series of images released by NASA show it as a 'black marble' -- with the outlines of cities aglow at nighttime.
The new global view of Earth's city lights is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. The data was acquired over nine days in April 2012 and 13 days in October 2012.
It took the satellite 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth's land surface and islands. The new data was then mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet.

Firestarters in the journey
I teach in 50 cities annually. After my lecture, I talk to people one-on-one for 90 minutes, to sign books and answer questions.
Sometimes the Firestarter is with the person attending my class. Beaming. Because it's rewarding to get the credit as the person who puts someone on a path to health and wholeness.
I always thank and congratulate the Firestarter, if I get to meet him or her.
Why? They've told me why, when I stop by and say hi if I'm shopping at Costco. It's because then people don't return their blender. They learn that it is actually a powerful tool for turning their health around. It's not just an expensive milkshake maker.
I love that I have a career in introducing people to simple but revolutionary concepts that are nothing less than life-changing.
