Daily iPad App: Battle of the Bulge is brilliant but obscure historical simulation
Battle of the Bulge is a really incredible game that I think a lot of people will overlook, unfortunately. In terms of war simulation games on the App Store, I haven't seen a better game than Battle of the Bulge. As you can tell from the title, it's a full-scale recreation of the legendary...

This Tuesday (11th Nov.), the world's first certified palm oil under the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) arrives on European shores. This certified palm oil originates from a plantation which has palm oil grown on peatlands. Wetlands International strongly cautions that palm oil cannot be certified "sustainable" as long as the sector refuses to include a criterion on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from land use change, in particular degradation of tropical peatlands.
A new and stunning book was published by Wetlands International on intertidal mudflats of the Yellow Sea, which are under critical threat by unsustainable development. The book offers a wonderful photographic journey that follows the migration of shorebirds flying from their breeding grounds in the Arctic through East Asia to Australia.
Green Coast partners in Aceh (Wetlands International and WWF) have submitted an official request to Aceh Provincial Government to endorse, support and protect the 11 Green Coast demonstration sites after the partners will be phased out Mid 2009.
In the speech on behalf of the International Organising Partners of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (COP 10) in Korea, Jane Madgwick, CEO of Wetlands International welcomes the steps to increase the status of Ramsar Sites, especially with regard to Lake Natron in Tanzania, the Tana Delta and Lake Naivasha in Kenya. At the same time, there is disappointment about the little progress in addressing water, climate and development policies with a link to wetlands.
A new resolution has been agreed which recognises the importance of promoting international cooperation for the conservation of migratory waterbirds and their habitats. The resolution was passed today (3 November 2008) in South Korea at the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

Ensemble Veteran Disputes Reports of Crunch Culture and Inefficient, Expensive DevelopmentResponding to claims Ensemble Studios veteran Paul Bettner made during Game Developers Conference 2010, fellow ex-employee Ian Fischer has disputed that the now-defunct development studio "was inefficient and expensive" in an open letter.
"Ensemble Studios, while certainly fond of numerous inefficient development practices, was no costlier or less efficient than any other developer of our caliber during this period of operation," reads a portion of Fischer's rather detailed response.
"Every single game Ensemble Studios made, across more than a decade, paid for [its] development and made a profit. Microsoft had [its] reasons for closing the studio but to imply that it was because we cost too much is fiction."
Fischer--who joined Robot alongside several other Ensemble veterans and is, as he was at Ensemble, a lead game designer--further argues against the studio's "crunch culture" and the fact that Bettner credits himself as Ensemble's "creative director."
"The leadership of Ensemble Studios saw crunch as a failure," says Fischer. "While it was certainly used, it was never 'institutionalized' or accepted." He also notes Bettner's claims that such comments are being taken out of context, though this does little to change the end result or the manner in which Bettner describes his time at Ensemble.
"You were never a member of the management team at Ensemble Studios," Fischer argues. "For that matter, neither you, nor anyone else, was 'Creative Director' at our studio. You were in no way involved in any of the conversations between Ensemble's and Microsoft's leadership regarding the closure of the studio."
Following the closure of Ensemble, Bettner helped form a small iPhone game developer, NewToy, where he now serves as CEO and creative director.
In closing the increasingly personal open letter to his former coworker, Fischer seems to suggest that Bettner wasn't fond of his ten-plus years at the studio in the first place:
If you want to find mistakes with what we did, I'd suggest that those trips into the weeds, looking for new territory, with a partner who wasn't fond of being there, was more our error. Had we decided to crank out RTS after RTS instead of chasing after the MMOs and FPSs and RPGs and RTS-differents we constantly had in prototype, I'm sure we would have been a more efficient studio that could have operated with zero crunch.
The vast majority of us didn't want to do this. I'm glad for that.

This entry received 84 responses – ten times more than the average post on the A-blog. I guess the subject hits close to home for many trainers and trainees alike. I posted my thoughts - that I'm a big fan of the f-bomb, but I plan to leave it out of my coaching program. Many agreed on the "keep it clean" approach for business, but just as many said to be yourself and if people don't like it, too bad. Both points I understand, agree with to some degree, and respect. And then Spider Chick posted the following.
Now, I'm a Spider Chick fan. I think she's a good role model for women. She's strong, she's tough, she's confident and she moves weight. And I appreciate her sense of humor, and her commentary. Normally. But this kind of pissed me off. I've edited out some lines, but I assure you the message is intact. Read the whole thing here, if you prefer.
"Some gyms are for old ladies and kids. Some are for a tougher, wilder breed of man-beast. The question is: do you want to struggle out a brutal WOD with Green Berets, or do you want to spin to Celine and then do lunch with the Junior League? Are you inspired by competing against
That being said, there may be more money in selling a program that is marketed as "forging elite fitness", and sorta looks like it's a tough-guy friendly gym, but in actuality, it's a mommy-and-me-too fitness playground with gluten-free hand chalk, a diaper changing station made of recycled material, and a verbally correct WOD that's fun for the whole lactose intolerant, peanut allergic family.
I choose to eat meat, wear fur, workout in a bra, leave sweat angels on the floor, weave a foul mouthed tapestry of lyrical filth, and exercise until I occasionally vomit. And, I'm willing to pay for the privilege of doing so in a place where tough guys roam unfettered by those who sell
Huh. So my question to Spider Chick is this… Are those my ONLY two choices? I have to either grab my balls, drop the f-bomb at every clean and jerk and then vomit through my nose… or I have to take a spin class sponsored by the La Leche League and Celine Dion? Crap. I hate Celine, but I also hate to vomit through my nose. Those are some awful choices. I wish I had more options.
This is what I call the "CrossFit Enough" mentality. If you're not swearing and spitting and falling down puking, if you don't literally kick your clients in the ass, if you can't train side-by-side with the Green Berets… then you're not CrossFit Enough. If you're not suffering at Gym Jones, killing it with Zach Even-Esh or getting yelled at by Coach Rip, then you're not "forging elite fitness"
I call bullshit.
I'm not even going to get INTO this subject of "elite". Not today, at least. But I will say that swearing, stripping and expelling bodily fluids does NOT make you "elite". Training in the same gym as a
I can curse, spit, strip and bleed with the toughest of the tough guys. I can hold my own in any training environment. And I swear a lot in my private life. It's often hard for me to keep my mouth in check in while training clients. But I'm making the effort because that's how I want to run my program. Now, I'm not going to cringe if someone curses, Michael Bolton will never sponsor my tabatas and I refuse to allow a 4# kettlebell in my classes. But I'm ALSO not going to belittle someone who says "darn" when they miss a lift, or a trainer who insists on a family-friendly box, or a new Mom trying to lose the baby weight with scaled workouts. If Spider Chick wants to delineate "real" CrossFitters from the "less than CrossFitters", then fine. She can go play with Sara Scholl, and they can have a Bad-Ass-CrossFit-Off full of swearing and bragging and bleeding and stripping and establish once and for all that they are the Most Ultimate Elite.
As for me, I'm going to quietly and determinedly get back to my ass-busting. Or butt-busting. Or CrossFitting. Or politically correct, lactose-intolerant Mommy-and-Me inspired training. Whatever you want to call it is fine with me, because it all ends with me pulling heavy deadlifts.
Comments welcome from ALL points of view. Let's hear it.

It looks for all the world like the Edmonton Oilers did it right. Giving all those minutes to the inexperienced, the undersized, the wannabes, the has-beens and the never-weres have had the desired result: Edmonton will own the #1 or #2 pick at the 2010 Entry Draft.
Oh sure, something could still go wrong. The Oilers could talk themselves into Cam Fowler or trade the pick for 10 cents on the dollar, but it is a good bet Edmonton will call out the name "Hall" or "Seguin" when the time comes.
As for the rest of the draft, it appears to be taking shape. When you see this much movement this late in a draft year it usually means that the quality is uneven. This one (so far) reminds me of the 2002 entry draft, which perfectly reflects my point.
The Oilers used their first round pick that season on Finn C Jesse Niinimaki (epic fail) but were able to pick up three NHL players in round two (Jarret Stoll, Matt Greene and Jeff Deslauriers). Redline has mentioned a lack of quality defensmen in this year's draft, which may mean more value is placed on kids like Fowler, Forbort and Mark Pysyk.
There is some late disagreement from a couple of the scouting services on the top 10 for this season. Here's the Redline top 10 with ISS's grade in brackets.
- Taylor Hall (2)
- Tyler Seguin (1)
- Vladimir Tarasenko (4)
- Nino Niederreiter (9)
- Derek Forbort (10)
- Cam Fowler (3)
- Mikael Granlund (14)
- Brandon Gormley (5)
- Kirill Kabanov (7)
- Jeff Skinner (15)
Redline is the better list, although they do some weird things every year (ranking Fowler at 6, for instance). The list to watch for is the final Bob McKenzie list, out a week or so before the entry draft.
I think Oiler fans can count on one of the OHL forwards come draft day and if the Oilers draft trends hold true the 2nd round pick will be a BPA pick. It'll likely be the third round when Stu "Magnificent Bastard" MacGregor fills for need and grabs a knuckle-dragger forward and a tall tree on the blue.

Miami University Accreditation
Miami University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. HLC accredits degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region of the United States. Miami's most recent accreditation review was in 2005 (see 2005_Review.pdf, 4.3MB), while the next reaccreditation review will occur in 2015.
President Hodge recently committed Miami to be one of twenty institutions across the nation to pioneer "Open Pathways", a more streamlined, continuous and electronic means for reaffirmation of accreditation.
Open Pathways consists of two key components:
- Assurance Process which requires the continuous accumulation of electronically stored information and data coupled with the creation of an Assurance Argument that makes the case that the institution meets the Criteria for Accreditation and the federal requirements; and
- Improvement Process which is Quality Initiative the institution undertakes as something it wants to do and culminates in a Results Visit by peer reviewers.

Napkin sketch view of online maps Jun 18 2010
Bing Maps has a neat napkin sketch view.
Bing Maps has a neat napkin sketch view.
After I heard Microsoft's announcement of yet-another-interation of their search engine (named Bing), I went to look at the stats for kottke.org for the past month to see how many visitors each search engine sent to the site. I couldn't believe how dominant Google was.
Google | 262,946 | 93.8%
MS Live | 4,307 | 1.5%
Yahoo | 4,036 | 1.4%
It's a small sample and doesn't match up with Comscore's numbers (Google: 64.2%, Yahoo: 20.4%, MS: 8.2%), but wow. As a comparison, the numbers for a year ago for kottke.org had Google at 91%, Yahoo at 4.9%, and Live at 0.7%.

As the UGA student section's recent "One more year!" chant at Stegeman Coliseum indicates, the question of whether the basketball Bulldogs' Mr. Everything, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, should return to Athens next season was already being tossed around even before the sensational sophomore was named SEC player of the year Tuesday by the conference's coaches.
KCP, who also was named first-team All-SEC, is the league's second-leading scorer with an average of 18 points per game and ranks among the conference leaders in nine of 13 individual statistical categories. He was without a doubt Georgia's MVP, also leading his team in such categories as rebounds, steals and free-throw shooting. This season he is one of just 10 players in the country to have scored in double figures in every game.
With Georgia preparing to start SEC tournament play in Nashville Thursday, the star player, not surprisingly, wasn't ready to talk about his future career Tuesday when he spoke with reporters.
"I'm not really trying to worry about that right now," the low-key Caldwell-Pope said. "We've got the SEC tournament to worry about and I've just got that on my mind right now."
He said he'd wait until after this season to think about whether to enter the NBA draft or return for his junior season at Georgia.
UGA coach Mark Fox said he'll "make sure that Kentavious has accurate information from the right sources" in order to make his decision.
If those sources indicate to KCP that he's a probable first-round pick, which means guaranteed money, it seems highly unlikely that he'd pass that up for another year playing at the Steg.
But right now a first-round spot for him not a sure thing, with most of the draft projections I've seen to date pegging KCP as an early second-round pick — a position he probably could improve with a terrific SEC tournament showing.
If he doesn't wind up projected as a sure first-round pick, however, the young man faces a tough decision. He can look at how other players from Georgia and elsewhere have fared when they left school early but weren't first-round picks: Yeah, they have a spot on an NBA roster, but they don't get much playing time.
Another year playing in the SEC would hone KCP's game considerably, and he'd definitely go in the first round of next year's NBA draft, with better money.
KCP also indicated Tuesday, in response to a reporter's question, that the way the Bulldogs turned around their season and Georgia's chance at possibly being an NCAA tournament team next year might figure into his decision.
I'm glad he's taking that into consideration. But while Georgia managed to be a midlevel SEC team this year with a very young lineup, and should be better next year if everyone returns, a couple of factors should temper expectations for the 2014 Dogs:
This was, frankly, a down year for the conference overall, and that may not be the case next year. The competition for those tournament spots is likely to be tougher in 2014.
Also, while Georgia will be adding point guard J.J. Frazier and shooting guard Juwan Parker next season, the team still lacks the big player that has eluded Fox so far — and which the Bulldogs badly need.
Unless the coach comes up with a junior college player to fill that role in the April signing period, that's still going to be a gaping hole in the Bulldogs' game. And so far Fox's recruiting prowess has been disappointing with the exception of his one McDonald's All-American and five-star prospect … KCP
So even if they get their star player back next year, the Bulldogs are no lock as a tournament team.
Like I said, Caldwell-Pope faces a tough decision if he doesn't project as a first-round pick. What do you think he should do? And what are your thoughts on Georgia's basketball prospects next year if he leaves early?
My wife and I are headed to Chapel Hill to visit our son, but I'll be back next week as the football Bulldogs return from spring break (hopefully with no suspensions looming). In the meantime, if you've got something you want to discuss concerning UGA athletics or a question you want the Junkyard Blawg to tackle, email me at email@example.com.

I think he should stay one more year…I think he could lead the league in scoring and possibly be a lottery pick next year if he stays.
March 13th, 2013
8:00 am
I would tell him to go. Even if he sits on the bench somewhere, he still have hours and hours to spend working on his game, instead of spending half of every day in class.
I hope he doesn't go though for selfish reasons.
March 13th, 2013
9:31 am
I'm not sure spending hours and hours flying all over the country, living from one hotel room to another, is really a better deal than walking to class for 3-4 hours a day. It IS his destiny eventually……but I don't get the feeling he is itching to get get out of town. I am certainly no expert, and not even educated in, what sort of time is devoted to a rookie at the bottom of an NBA lineup….VS the time he gets working on his game as a starter on a college team. I suspect KCP is already getting all the workout he can physically take every day, no matter.
Betting it 50/50. Pretty cowardly bet, but I just thinks he's still not sure.
March 13th, 2013

No it would be best if we could hire somebody that could stop Bama from stealing so many recruits from us….who cares about basketball. We will never be big time in that sport

Do NBA guys get paid well?
March 13th, 2013
10:26 am
The thing is he is getting that $$$. He knows that. Its not a now or never situation. I don't think his family is struggling and I assume he is insured if he has a horrific scooter accident.
I'm not sure getting it in a month, or a year and a month, really is the biggest factor to him. Thats all going to average out over the next decade.
Also, I would think that his stock would RISE later, if more $$$ at the front end were the question.
March 13th, 2013
10:29 am
I think he stays to get 1st round $$. I've read elsewhere that his dad isn't the biggest fan of him staying at UGA. I sure hope we pick up a true big man from JUCO because that is what kills us.
March 13th, 2013
10:44 am
One interesting factor that Bill mentions is wanting to help his team to the NCAA next year…..and then gives the devil's advocates view (that I think is fair as far as analysis, but irrelevant in terms of impacting his decision). He's not sitting there guaging what the other teams are going to do, or the chances of X number of SEC teams getting in. He's thinking they are going to be pretty good, and he wants to be part of that, from a purely emotional and competitive standpoint. Thats not a ledger sheet issue. It might not end up being enough of an emotional issue in the end, but nobody is going to talk him INTO leaving his Georgia team based on bracketology for 2014. And I doubt that NBA scouts really are hanging on that.
FWIW, I also think that the NBA probably wants kids to stay in college as long as possible.
March 13th, 2013
10:50 am
The kid is a goodun and will do well 'at the next level'…however, I hope he'll realize that he has a chance to be a huge 'game changer' for the Georgia, and Mark Fox's, basketball program. With another year maturation of the current – and hopefully a little more strength and aggressiveness from D. Williams – players…a few more top recruits, including a 'big' or two…next year's team could very well compete for a conference championship. Do that and you fill Stegeman and create a buzz that could be a real 'jump-start' for the future. Of course if he decides to leave, then the chances for, extra-ordinary, success next year are pretty much a crap-shoot…if even that.
March 13th, 2013
2:15 pm
Sorry, but he would be an idiot to stay. UGA isn't going to be a conference or national contender next year and he won't have the personnel around him to really take his game to another level. It would be much better for his career to start getting ready for NBA workouts and try to work his way into the first round similar to how Iman Shumpert did. Staying another year not only wastes a year but could hurt his draft status as much as it could help it.
March 13th, 2013
2:24 pm
I was at the game that was nationally televised by CBS. The HoopHounds were playing USCe and UGA has 5000 fans that showed up. That's embarrassing Dawg fans…. and you expect this kid to stay? Most of the fan-base and some of the kids in school are just plain lazy if you ask me. Sorry, spoiled and lazy. If Pope leaves UGA fans and students are to blame! As they are for the pathetic recruiting. All our competition has to show is a picture of our 70% empty building. If you are a 5star why play in front of that??
March 13th, 2013
2:27 pm
Also, UGA football fans are lazy in general as well. Most never stand up and think you should be quite like you are in Augusta or something. I love it when UGA plays in the Dome b/c most of the lazy fan-base is sitting at home.
March 13th, 2013
3:29 pm
If KCP leaves, there are no prospects for UGA basketball next year.
Caldwell Pope really should stay though – he hasn't quite looked like a primetime NBA player yet. UGA does look to be on the upswing and a team he can make the NCAA tourney with next year, and playing with an improving team will make him perform better and get a fulfilling experience to end college with.
March 13th, 2013
4:58 pm
I think KCP should stay unless he is a guaranteed top10-15 pick if he isnt in that range he will do better in college working with a coach like CMF vs riding the pine in the NBA like travis leslie and trey tompkins. This is just MHO that I am giving .
March 13th, 2013
8:27 pm
Speaking of not being a stand up guy, how about those lazy football fans who scream to fire the coach halfway through a 12-2 season.
March 13th, 2013
9:08 pm
Congratulations, KCP, for an outstanding year!! Look at it this way, one more year will be added value for you going pro. You have it all, it's a matter of being patient and going for a sure thing….being picked higher in the draft. The team will be better next year and you'll still be the leader and enjoy the fruits of having a great year with the DAWGS! If I can say anything, it would be for you to be very patient! Surely, at some point in time, you will want to finish school and get your degree. Next year will put you one more step toward that goal. You can then start earning the big bucks, more than you might make if you left now! You're a DGD! Stay!!

I agree with georgia tech Bob. That doesn't happen very often.
Off topic, but Interesting how far Jarvis Jones draft status has fallen. Through most of the season, he was considered a strong possibility as the FIRST PICK OVERALL. At this point, it looks like he will be the 4th or 5th pass rusher taken which is quite a drop. I have seen some mock drafts that have him toward the bottom of the first round and even some have him going early in the 2nd round.
I'm sure on film his technique is not flawless, but I would think some team would be getting a heckuva a value if he goes outside the top 15. He had two extremely productive years in the SEC and the neck didn't seem to be a problem through 2 full seasons and practices (I believe he missed the KY game for a hamstring tweak that he might have been able to play through, but the coaches wisely decided to give him the week off to heal).
Would love to read a well researched article on how he went from a top 3 pick to a late first rounder once the dust settled.

Basketball is a distant second for my attention… football has always been first and foremost. I care only peripherally about the Dawgs hoops but even only paying only half attention to basketball I know the KCP is a special player.
Financially, I don't see much for him to gain by staying. However, I think it would be a good move for him to come back because of the experience. He will ride the pine his first year for almost certain. You don't improve very much when you aren't playing. Sure he will be getting professional grade instruction but experience is where it really at.
Unless some team is willing to use a top 10 pick on him and has a desperate need for a shooting guard, KCP will sit in favor of a veteran in 9 out of 10 cases and that equals being stale. Sure you are making money while doing it but if you really love the game and WANT to play that could be detrimental in the long run.
Maybe money makes all that moot but sometimes it is worth it to look beyond the green god.

Do not like "Debbie Downers" but concerning Caldwell-Pope, if Fox is unable to get a big presence under the rim from Jr College or like the Noell kid at Ky, he might as well go pro. It will be another long year for UGA basketball. They have a lot of young talent, but they have no "big man" to grab boards and be a presence in the paint, and you cannot always 3 pt to victory.

Concerning UGA baseball, it is time for Perno to go. He came off a 2 World Series appearances and played in the championship game in one appearance and still could not recruit off that success.

A better article for the AJC UGA Sports folks is: What is AD Greg McGarity planning to do to elevate UGA men's basketball beyond its historical level? He went to UF in '92, a few years before the Gators became relevant in basketball and made an appearance in their first Final Four. He watched Jeremy Foley demand excellence in all sports programs. What is he thinking watching our men's basketball and baseball programs? Is he going to fall in line with the dippity doo UGA AA culture of "hey we're a Capitol One Bowl-level football program and by God we are pretty darn good at those spring sports!!!!"?
Fox, if he doesn't have the sense to do it himself, must be forced to hire a capable recruiter. All this talk about KCP returning next year is just ignoring the issue.

THe UGA baseball team is a pathetic joke.So far this season they have lost to Ga. Southern, Ga. State, Kennesaw St., Liberty, Western Carolina, Appy State, and are on the verge of being swept by Texas A&M to open the SEC schedule. This is a program that was in the finals of the CWS a few years ago, and now has trouble qualifying for the SEC tournament. Coach Perno has dragged this program down to the pits of the SEC, and no one seems to care, or so it appears. Never any mention of what is happening with this program in the media. It is pitiful that this University has let this happen. Mr. AD, where are you, and why are you letting this go on? This season is already a disaster, and conference play has just started. Cut ties with this Coach so someone else can come in and recruit some decent players going forward.

Personally I think he should return for his junior season. He is an excellent player and had a great season but, I do think another year will make him more ready for the NBA. He still needs to learn how to create off the dribble and be consistent the whole game. I know that is hard because he is the only scorer on the team. Fox is doing a horrible job of recruiting and the program is sinking deeper into oblivion. Maybe another year for Fox and then go hard after Steve Alford.

Creating a enterprise is tough because you'll want to consider many things in order to be productive. Without one too, your small business will not be able to take top or why not be one of the best rank businesses across the country. If you're a rookie running a business, make the time to read and fully grasp the things below and possess them as it can be:
1. Persons. Of course. You really want effort as your helper in establishing your online business. As an example, you are planning to offer an inflatable mineral water slide party local rental organization, you should work with a minimum amount amount of individuals to provide since your employees or workers through leases. The number is based on your price range.
2. Cash. This is a vital element with the novices. You are unable to employ or create a company without cash on side. If you need a local rental company as our past example, you'll want a low cost to get those activities or products along with an more money in case of crisis. Money once more is dependent upon your favorite resources.
3. Area. As a beginner, you'll need to ascertain the best spot on your company. Go to the ideal institutions and make inquiries for your vacancy. You need to put in place your business on the most filled places for recognition.
4. Promoting Strategies. Just about the most typical types of bringing out your merchandise is by cellular advertising and marketing. Use this in the meantime due to the inexpensive. You just really need a mobile phone to develop a meaning. This could have info on your company beginning, freebies, and products offered. Send out it for your buddies and allow the meaning spread. You can even produce prints and printed material.
5. Organization coach. This is really optionally available but also for the novices, you may need this. A business mentor may serve as your teacher or possibly a counselor to your judgements and measures. Advisors will help you in direction of reaching your main goal because they're conditioned to develop your freedom, effectiveness, dependable, know-how and assurance Together with these items, they can help you time management techniques while mastering your primary goal and potential issues and alternatives.
6. Copy finances. It is a essential aspect mainly because business newcomers are actually acquiring significantly less cash flow at the same time but when you have copy finances for settlement, you will continue your company.
Struggles are simply just current at the start but it's not necassary to be frustrated provided that you have all the standards above and a solid, properly-designed persona to achieve your goals.

Designing an NFL Team
I recently wrote to NFL guru Jim Considine asking him how a team chooses a style and design, here is his response:
Dear Reagan,
I would be happy to give you some information on the uniforms worn by NFL teams. I was involved with the Ravens during their first 7 years in Baltimore. There was a tremendous amount of consternation during the process of picking the team colors. It seems like everyone disliked the team colors at first.
The first thing that occurred was to determine the name of the team. The Baltimore Sun conducted a fan survey. The Ravens was the popular choice. I suspect that the team colors may have been influenced by Poe's dark and dreary story. At this point, the design of the uniform is in the hands of NFL properties.
Northwestern won the Big Ten for the first time in ages during the 1995 season. The black and purple colors were a departure from the teal colors that were popular at that time. My guess is that the color combination was influenced by this as well as the dark writings of Poe. No doubt, the choice was approved by focus groups. I believe that they presented options to the Modell's and the upper-management of the football team.
The font used for the numbers on the jerseys proved difficult to read by the fans and broadcasters. The NFL "fattened" the characters in 1997, which are still used today.
In 1998, a lawsuit was filed against the Ravens and NFL properties for a trademark infringement. A fan created a logo, which is similar to the winged shield worn by the Ravens (1996, 1997, & 1998). The fan claimed he faxed the drawing to the Ravens. The fan claimed the Ravens used his design as the primary logo. Once the lawsuit was filed, NFL properties created new logos for the Baltimore Ravens. The logos are currently in use today. The NFL won the lawsuit.
One story comes to mind about the team logo. Art Modell really liked the Maryland state flag. (This is a combination of the family crest of Governor George Lord Calvert and the Saint George Cross). Art Modell liked it so much that they added it as a patch on the pants hip. It is also depicted on the field at M&T Bank Stadium. The Baltimore Orioles added a similar patch to their sleeve last season.
In addition to the control imposed by NFL properties with respect to the uniform, they also decide what color the seats will be in a new stadium. The color chosen is designed to blend in so that television viewers will not easily notice an empty seat. I doubt if this subterfuge stands up to the high definition pictures broadcast today. It was sufficient for the standard definition televisions in 1998.
Finally, speaking of high definition television, I used to ponder an old peculiarity of the Ravens uniforms. I could not figure out why the jerseys were purple but on television, they appeared to be blue. The RGB (red, green, blue) projection of the CRT (cathode ray tube) television could not portray the colors as seen by the naked eye.
Best wishes,
Jim Considine

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Unlike the majority of our wines that are single-vineyard, this wine is a blend of choice lots
from several of our prime estate vineyards and varies year to year. In 2007 we hand selected
barrels of Cabernet from our Cloud's Nest Vineyard on Mt. Veeder and our Haystack Vineyard
on Atlas Peak; Merlot from our Vista Montone Vineyard in Southern Napa; and Petit Verdot
and Cabernet Franc from our Central Park West Vineyard in St. Helena.
"This is my favorite wine to make because, like having all the crayons in the box, it lets me
paint the prettiest picture. Having an incredible arsenal of vineyards at my disposal enables
me to make a wine with layers and layers of aromas and flavors. Cabernet is the backbone,
Merlot contributes to the mid-palate and the aromatics, Petit Verdot adds color and floral aromatics,
and Cabernet Franc elongates the finish." —Mario Monticelli.
"Firm, ripe, intense and concentrated, full-bodied and structured, with a complex mix of dark berry fruit, red and black licorice, cedar and spice, ending with a pleasant loamy earthiness. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2017."

By selecting strategic applications such as resume/application online forms, annual contracts, and general registration forms, the project will develop protocols that may be adopted by several internal departments at BHCC including payroll, human resources and the business office. The scope of the project will include analysis of cost savings and development of training materials and shared resources.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Is there a minimum age one must be or school grade level to attend? And is there an age cut-off after which you no longer accept students into the program?
You must be 16 years old before the beginning of the program in order to attend -- no exceptions to this rule (please see University Policy: Guidelines for Mentoring a Minor in the Laboratory). This is irrespective of grade -- so a sophomore may apply if he or she will be 16 years old by the program's start date. There's no "maximum" age per se, but we stop accepting students once they've entered college. So a graduating high school senior is still eligible to participate.
- Is there an application fee?
Not currently. The only costs related to this program you should expect to incur are those for transportation, lunch, and, in a very few cases, housing.
- When does the program begin/end?
The program begins roughly at the end of June with Orientation and ends roughly in the middle of August with the Poster Session presentation. It lasts approximately seven weeks. You should be prepared to commit yourself to attendance for the duration. Seven weeks isn't a lot of time to do the research required to present a scientific poster. Therefore, if you cannot make this commitment, this might not be the program for you.
- How much lab time can I expect to put in per day/week?
This is a total-immersion experience, so you can expect to be in the lab five days a week, between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Schedules may vary somewhat from lab to lab, so flexibility is needed.
- Can I start later or leave earlier than the SSRP's official starting and ending dates?
Participants are required to attend every day of the program and are not allowed to take time off during the work week for family vacations or college visits. You must be able make a full-time commitment to the program.
- Is there any time for individual, outside research?
We expect you to leave your own work at home and concentrate on the work of the lab in which you're placed. There's much to be done, and you'll find that the lab work will really demand all of your attention (we'd be surprised if you had energy left at the end of the day for your own stuff!). Add to this the required coursework and seminars, and that's a full load.
- How much does the program cost?
The program itself costs nothing. However, depending upon your situation, there may be related travel, meal, or even housing expenses, so please take those into account when applying. For students who demonstrate need, stipends may be available.
- Is housing available?
Unfortunately, no. The Summer Science Research Program does not provide room and board to its participants. All of our students come from the New York Metropolitan area and commute to campus from home. If you live too far to commute, you'll be responsible for securing your own lodgings.
- Are stipends available?
Stipends are typically provided to students who are experiencing financial hardship or who are in need of financial aid and who meet all the attendance and research requirements of the SSRP.
- Can I apply to the program if I live outside the United States or outside of the Tri-State Area (NY, NJ, CT)?
Yes, you can. However, you and your parents/guardians are responsible for obtainiing your room and board. If accepted to the SSRP, your parents/guardians must confirm that your accommodations have been secured.
- When will I find out whether or not I've been accepted to the SSRP?
In the last two weeks of March, you will receive an e-mail to the address you provided in your online application letting you know whether or not your application is still under consideration. You will be informed, again, via e-mail, if you've made it to the lab placement process by the end of April. Please remember, however, acceptance to the program is contingent on actually being placed in a lab.
- Are there any minimum GPA or curriculum requirements?
No, but we seek students who achieve at a high level, and most accepted students rank in the top 10% of their class.
- Can I submit my SSRP research findings/poster/research report to a science fair not affiliated with The Rockefeller University?
Any scientific work you complete is the property of your host lab and is, in some cases, highly confidential. Therefore, any scientific communication from the lab - verbal, written, or digital - must be made with the advice and consent of the laboratory head and your day-to-day mentor. If you have any questions about this, it is very important that you discuss this with your mentor.

Twins-Royals postgamePosted on June 30th, 2009 – 11:38 PM
By La Velle
Bobby Keppel has impressed in two outings, during which he's tossed 6.1 scoreless innings.
He got help in the sixth inning on Tuesday by a great play by Brendan Harris, who dived to his left to grab Jose Guillen's grounder then flipped to Nick Punto at second for the inning-ending double play. Keppel then threw a scoreless seventh.
"He definitely throws what you call a power sinker," Twins righthander Scott Baker said.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire likes what he sees.
"He's throwing his sinker, lefties, righties, it doesn't matter," Gardenhire said. "He got in a couple jams but was able to get out of it.
"We've been looking for performances like that and, hopefully, we found something with this young man."
Luis Ayala, whom Keppel replaced, was touted as a sinkerballer but his ground ball-to-fly ball numbers argued against that. He threw a sinker but it was junky and he frequently got under the pitch instead over the top – and it was spin to the plate, then spin out to the outfield.
By the way, the Twins are expected to release Ayala in a couple days. Twins GM Bill Smith tried to make a deal for Ayala but it hasn't worked out. Pittsburgh was interested until the Pirates made deals with the Yankees and Nationals.
Joe Crede has a seven game hitting streak.
Joe Mauer snapped a 0-for-9 skid with single in the sixth.

RALEIGH, NC (WECT) – The 2014 North Carolina Senate race
still looms as a tossup, according to the latest numbers released from Public
Policy Polling.
The group surveyed nearly 1,400 voters from January 9-12,
and found incumbent Kay Hagan's approval numbers continuing to drop. The
January result showed 39% of responders saying they approved of the job Hagan
is doing, compared to 49% who disapprove. While the disapproval number has
remained the same, Hagan's approval has dropped from 44% in November, to 43% in
December to 39% in January.
According to the poll, the Affordable Care Act may be
responsible for much of Hagan's drop.
Only 38% of responders in January supported it, compared to 48%
opposed. Independents are more against
the "Obamacare" program than others at 31% support & 57% oppose. The ACA
did gain slightly when it comes to implementation, with 61% of subjects now
considering it unsuccessful and 32% who call it a success. That is compared to
December's 65/30 results.
In the Republican race to oppose Hagan in November, House
Speaker Thom Tillis gained some ground in the January poll. Tillis now leads the GOP list of candidates
responders would like to see run against Hagan. His 19% response compared to
11% for both Greg Brannon and Heather Grant, 8% for Mark Harris, and 7% for
Bill Flynn. Tillis is up 6 points from his 13% result in December, while Harris
showed the biggest drop from 12% down to 8%.
According to a PPP release, "Tillis' increased support
this primary would still be headed to a runoff if the election was today. If
the undecided voters broke proportionately to their current candidate
preferences it would only be enough to get Tillis to 34%, well short of the 40%
needed in North Carolina to win the primary outright."
"The North Carolina Senate race continues to look like a
tossup," Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling said in the release
accompanying the new poll results. "It would help Kay Hagan if the electorate
shifted its attention to something other than Obamacare."

Honda Aviator Review
Best just got betterTuesday, November 12, 2013
The Honda Aviator represents Honda's third foray into the scooter segment of the market, one that it already dominates to a significant degree thanks to the success of the Honda Activa. So what does the Aviator offer drivers?
Design and Style
In terms of design, the Aviator is a total departure from the looks of the Dio or Activa. Its bold, futuristic aesthetic, inspired by the Fireblade, is clearly targeted at young adult male drivers who want to make a statement. In contrast to the softer design of the Activa, intended to be female-friendly, the Aviator has a distinctly masculine edge. The bike's body, a highly rigid underbone chassis type, weighs 103kg dry, making it less bulky than the Honda Activa thanks to the combination of metal and highly impact-resistant ABS structure. The bike's build quality is good, and it looks strong and sophisticated, with smart metal panelling and wrap-around turning indicators at the rear. There are few downsides to its clear and striking design, but the warning indicators are quite difficult to see in bright sunlight.
Instrument Console
The instrument console has much to recommend it, although the lack of digital display is disappointing for a modern vehicle of this kind. The analogue speedometer and fuel gauge are clear and easy to read, and the fuel, oil and battery indicators can all be read at a glance.
Engine and Gearbox
Honda Aviator 110 is powered by a 109cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled OHC Dream Mileage engine with a maximum power of 8 bhp at 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 8.74 nm at 5500 rpm, making it above average in terms of power for a scooter of this kind. It comes with V-matic transmission.
Acceleration and Top Speed
With its powerful engine and lightweight body, the Aviator is capable of excellent acceleration, achieving 0 to 60kph in just 9.95 seconds, making it a bit speedier than the Honda Activa. Its maximum speed is roughly 85kph, a respectable achievement.
Honda claims that the Aviator boasts 15% better fuel efficiency than its previous models, but it's not clear that this is borne out in reality. Like other gearless scooters, the Aviator's fuel efficiency is disappointing to say the least, although its lighter frame means that it performs better than Honda's other offerings in this market. Users have found that, as advertised, the Aviator delivers an average mileage of between 45 and 60 km per litre. Its fuel tank has a capacity of 6 litres. It is now powered by Honda Eco Technology Dream Mileage Engine.
Comfort While Driving
Overall, the Honda Aviator is a comfortable ride for all drivers. The bike's upright KVTA seat has been well designed to position the driver in a stable and secure way that minimizes fatigue, even when riding for long periods of time. The shoe-type seats of the driver and pillion rider are longer, wider and more spacious, with plenty of space and comfortable footrests and pegs.
Safety Features
Honda Aviator features a generously sized multi-focal headlamp with a 35-watt halogen lamp. The patented Honda tuff-up tubes are present, helping to minimize the chance of tyre punctures by an estimated 70%. Disappointingly, the scooter lacks advanced locking system.
Storage Space
The Honda Aviator displays Honda's emphasis on storage space, in recognition of the fact that the bike will be used by many families and inner-city commuters who have need of space to stow a few items. The under seat storage capacity is a generous 20 litres, an improvement on the 18 litres of the Activa – this places it equal with the Rodeo's 20 litre capacity, large enough to fit a helmet or bag.
Suspension and Brakes
The Honda Aviator features front telescopic suspension; at the rear, it boasts unit swing suspension with spring-loaded hydraulic dampers. The front suspension is particularly effective on this bike, significantly improving the quality and comfort of the ride and providing better overall control and stability at high speeds, as well as lower vibration and feedback.
The Aviator Deluxe model features a 130mm drum or 190mm disc brake at the front, and a 130mm drum brake at the back. The Standard model features 130mm drum brakes on the front and rear. The brakes feel balanced, stable and, most importantly, responsive – even when travelling at high speed or carrying heavy cargo.
Ride and Handling
The bike's handling is particularly good for moving in and out of traffic, and it sports good pick-up. The bike's more refined mill offers a better ride with significantly less noise, and, coupled with the improved suspension, makes for a smoother and more stable ride than Honda's previous models. Its wide tyres also contribute to its stability, and the bike does not display any bias during leaning, maintaining its balance well.
Tyre Size
While the other Honda models have retained a 10-inch wheel front and back, the Aviator is unusual in featuring differing sizes. Its rear wheel is the standard 10-inch (3.50-10 51J), but the front wheel (90/90-12 54J) has been bumped up to a meaty 12 inches, in order to accommodate a larger disc brake.
Honda Aviator 110 is available in four attractive shades: Royal Gold, Black, White and Red.
Like many scooters in this market segment, the Aviator includes few accessories – drivers wishing to customize their ride will have to purchase guards, body covers, bumpers, seat covers and other items separately.
Like the Activa, the Honda Aviator was launched in two versions: the Standard and the Deluxe. The differences between the two variants are not substantial.
Distinctive Features
Unlike many models in the market, the Aviator sadly does not feature a mobile phone charging socket, which is a small but significant oversight.
Reasons to Buy
An excellent transport whether you're a lone rider or a family, the Honda Aviator handles well and offers excellent performance on a range of road surfaces.
Value for Money
Despite its poor fuel efficiency, the Aviator represents good value for money, whether you're buying the Standard model or its slightly modified deluxe variant, thanks to a powerful, high-performance engine.
The Honda Aviator carves its own niche in the market by offering distinctive style, good performance, a comfortable ride, and ample storage space. Reliable and durable, it's a ride that's built to last, and look good doing it.

The Avera Queen of Peace Cancer Center is celebrating 10 years of service to Mitchell and the area with an open house next month. Action News Anchor Nancy Naeve Brown talked with the Director of Radiation Oncology about their cancer program.
Charlene Berke, RT (R)(T) Director of Radiation Oncology at the Avera Queen of Peace Cancer Center says, "We've been here for 10 years treating patients, we've seen over 3,000 different patients at Avera Queen of Peace either diagnosed or treated here. We've seen a tremendous community support with different events in the community to help us keep our program here. It's so important for people to have cancer care close to home so they have treatment and support of people to help during treatment. We've have been able to keep people local. When you have support, like spouses, family, kids, it makes a tremendous impact on your care and makes everything better for you when you go through cancer treatment."There is an Open House at the Avera Queen of Peace Cancer Center on Tuesday, Nov. 16 from 4 to 6 p.m. The afternoon will feature self-guided tours, Lilly Oncology on Canvas art exhibition and the opportunity to meet and greet the Avera Queen of Peace Cancer Care Team physicians and staff. Refreshments will be served. There is also a prayer, a program and rededication at 5 p.m. The open house is cosponsored by the Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce, and all are invited to celebrate the first 10 years of the center's service to the Mitchell area.
