Research Priorities Are Changing
• 1999-present, University of Missouri Delta Center, Portageville, Mo. Research Associate.
• 1999-present, University of Missouri Delta Center, Portageville, Mo. Coordinate all data
collection from variety trials conducted at research station.
• Received B.S. degree in agronomy from Southeast Missouri State University, 1995.
• Candidate to receive M.S. degree in plant science in May of 2012 from Arkansas
State University.
Continuous change within agriculture is bringing change in research. From 2000 to 2008, research on bronze wilt, the proper date of irrigation termination, variety selection, defoliation timing and micronaire management were all "hot topics." However, in the past couple of years, my research has switched to reducing labor and environmental issues.
Every year I make it a point to ask a handful of producers, "What questions would you like answered?" The reply I have received in the past couple of years has been, "Help us save money by reducing labor and trips across the field." It's difficult to find good labor, and with advanced equipment such as the new cotton pickers, the need for labor has been reduced. I had a producer tell me this year that with his new cotton picker his labor force during harvest was reduced from 14 employees down to four.
We all have a little "green" in us, right? More than ever, we hear about the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico. This hypoxia zone, commonly referred to as the Dead Zone, is a 7,000-square mile area located in the Gulf of Mexico. This area has been contaminated by excess nutrients in field water runoff into streams and then on into the Mississippi River – eventually emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, fish and other aquatic organisms have vacated the area along the coast due to this contamination.
We can "kill two birds with one stone" with efficient cotton nitrogen management. Finding ways to optimize nitrogen can reduce runoff and leaching as a preventative method to help preserve our water and wildlife and save a trip across the field.
In Missouri, our cotton nitrogen recommendation is a split application. Hopefully, the research I'm conducting with controlled release nitrogen (CRN) will be a means to apply all nitrogen preplant before the season gets busy and save time and expense of the mid-season application while overcoming the yield penalty of a pre-plant system. My goal is to discover the perfect combination and timing for liquid and granular CRN so the plant will have a sufficient amount throughout the growing season and decline at the end of the season so the plant isn't still green and lush for defoliation.
Both liquid and granular CRN products are governed by soil temperature. Therefore, the release of nitrogen isn't always the same. Sometimes the nitrogen isn't released for 60-plus days. Consequently, a small amount of urea or ammonium nitrate needs to be blended with the CRN as a "kick start" for the plant in the early season when it doesn't require much nitrogen – yet maximized at peak bloom when the plant requires the most nitrogen. I'm very fortunate to have all three soil types – sand, silt and clay at the University of Missouri farms to conduct the research to determine which soil type is more conducive to the CRN.
I'm also focusing my efforts on real-time reflectance sensor measurements for sidedress application. The sensors are a means to manage sidedress applications. They are attach-ed to equipment and read the color of the leaf to determine if more nitrogen needs to be applied at mid-season. Nitro-gen is applied immediately on the go.
However, more variables, such as growth regulators and drought stress, alter photosynthesis and play a vital role in the sensor readings. The research to fine-tune these sensors has been fascinating. Until the glitches are worked out, I'm committed to continue working on the sensors.
Nitrogen is the nutrient that shows the most response in cotton; therefore, research to enhance the effectiveness should be ongoing. I look forward to the next few years of continuing the research and getting the results to help reduce the runoff that has a negative effect in our waterways and also help producers reduce labor and fuel costs.

The sun may be shining outside, but inside a peculiar cube on West 54th Street in Manhattan it's pouring.
"I brought my hat so just in case I did get wet, I could cover," said one visitor.
But hats need not apply at the "Rain Room" exhibit at the museum of modern art unless you're running around quickly.
"We got a little wet, but then we learned that you need to put your arm out to slow it down," one woman said.
This is an immersing rain fall that allows you to stand in the rain without getting wet. Sensors detect your position and stop the rain when you're coming through.
"We've given the installation eyes, basically it recognizes that you're in it and then it switches off the rain above you," said Hannes Koch, the artist. He said the greatest payoff is seeing the reaction of the guests who walk through it.
"It's often a smile, it's contemplation, and it's amazement that they can control the weather or seemingly control the weather around them," he said.
One visitor told Fox 5: "It's just surrounding us, it's just beautiful, it's like being God."
The exhibit is open through July 28.

Scott Fletcher & Kenny Roche Return to Providence
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 18th year in the American Hockey League, announced that they have recalled defenseman Scott Fletcher from the ECHL's Reading Royals and signed forward Kenny Roche to a Professional Tryout Agreement from the Charlotte Checkers, also of the ECHL. With the moves, the P-Bruins have 26 players on their roster, including 14 forwards, 10 defensemen and two goaltenders.
Fletcher, 22, was recently assigned to Reading on March 1 after completing his second stint in Providence this year. In 11 games with the P-Bruins, the rookie defenseman has gone scoreless with 27 penalty minutes and a plus-one rating. With Reading, Fletcher has recorded two goals, two assists, 67 PIM and a plus-three rating in 24 contests.
Prior to turning pro, Fletcher enjoyed five seasons of junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League, splitting time between the Plymouth Whalers, Niagara IceDogs, Mississauga IceDogs and Saginaw Spirit. In juniors, the undrafted native of Haslett, Michigan, appeared in 236 regular season games with 15 points (2g, 13a) and 632 PIM. Fletcher also suited up for 25 playoff contests, going scoreless with 48 PIM. He signed an AHL contract with Providence on August 11, 2009.
Roche, 26, spent three games with Providence during his January 15-18 recall, tallying one assist and a minus-one rating. Following his stint with the P-Bruins, the fourth-year pro signed a PTO with the Hartford Wolf Pack, where he registered eight points (4g, 4a) and a minus-six rating in 14 games before his release on March 2. Roche has spent the majority of the year in Charlotte, collecting 34 points (17g, 17a), 11 multiple-point outings and a plus-four rating in 36 games.
The South Boston, Massachusetts, native and four-year standout for the Boston University Terriers has enjoyed previous AHL experience with Providence, Hartford and the Lake Erie Monsters, appearing in 52 games with 16 points (6g, 10a) between the three squads. In his professional career, Roche has 99 points (42g, 57a) in 155 regular season games and five points (2g, 3a) in 12 postseason contests. The center was selected by the New York Rangers 75th overall in the third round of the 2003 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

Despite their 4-1 loss on Sunday to the Ottawa Senators, road losses have not been that common for the Winnipeg Jets this season. The club had won eight of their last 12 on the road, 10 of their last 15 overall, picking up 21 of a possible 30 points.
They now return home from a two game trip to Ontario in first place in the South East Division, with a one point lead on Carolina, with the Hurricanes having two games in hand. Sunday was the first regulation loss in seven games.
What made the loss in Ottawa disappointing for the team was the slow start, but in a way it wasn't too much of a surprise. Sunday's game was the Jets third in four nights. Saturday's win in Toronto was an emotional 10 round shootout.
Two tough, close games against the Leafs and another against the Rangers forced Coach Claude Noel to shorten his bench, and to top it off the flu bug is making its way through the team. Also, fatigue was a factor, both mentally and physically. The penalty kill, that had been perfect for the last 11 games surrendered two goals, ending the perfect run at 29. Down 1-0 after an early goal by Guillaume Latendresse it was a power play goal by Jakob Silfverberg that hurt short term and long term. The Jets needed to get out of the first period just down one, and the goal that put them down two also ended up being the game winner.
Ondrej Pavelec again made many big saves in the first, keeping his team in the game, but it wasn't enough. The Jets had their chances. Zach Bogosian made it a 2-1 game early in the third with his second goal of the year, then with Dustin Byfuglien off for goalie interference Evander Kane had two great chances to tie the game short-handed. The first opportunity was a breakaway but he shot a rolling puck over the net, the second came on a two on one setup from Blake Wheeler with goaltender Robin Lehner making a great left pad save. Another penalty led to a power play goal by Kyle Turris, before Silfverberg ended it with his second of the night and sixth of the year. Andrew Ladd picked up an assist and now has 12 points in his last 10 games. Ladd leads the team in scoring and also leads them in road points with 16. Nik Antropov had his five game point streak end as the Jets had their three game win streak snapped. The three goal win for Ottawa ended a stretch of 11 straight one goal games. Despite a number of injuries to key people the Sens keep finding way to win, especially at home where they have only one regulation loss, and that was to the Jets. They do not give up a lot of goals as the Jets managed just three in the three games between the two teams. "They took the play to us in the first, and our goalie held us in," stated Coach Noel post game. "In the third we got one and Kane had two chances to tie it. We tried to fight back with the energy we had left. They won the special teams game with our PK giving up two. But they made some nice plays. The dot to dot passes are tough on your goalie. Can't fault our effort." Jets are now home for four starting with Boston Tuesday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290), Washington Thursday and Friday (Friday game starts at 6), and Tampa Sunday.

Here is a fun exercise I like to do before going to ACC and SEC Media Days. I take about five preseason magazines, put all of their predictions down on paper and compare them. There is not a lot of heavy lifting involved, but it gives you a mini consensus of what other people thinking.
The five magazines I used this year are: Athlon, Lindy's, Phil Steele, The Sporting News, and a new one published by the folks who produce The Kickoff.
Example: Here are the pre-season Top Fives for each magazine:
Athlon: Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Ohio State
Lindy's: Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Virginia Tech
Phil Steele: Florida, Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Penn State
Sporting News: Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Ole Miss
The Kickoff: Florida, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State
What did we learn? That Florida, USC, Texas, and Oklahoma are in everybody's top four in some combination. Four of the five magazines had different No. 5s: Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Ole Miss.
Conclusion? A lot of people are going to be surprised if the two teams in the BCS championship game don't come from the mix of Florida, USC, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Athlon: Florida (1), Alabama (6), Ole Miss (10), Georgia (14), LSU (17)
Lindy's: Florida (1), LSU (6), Alabama (7), Ole Miss (9), Georgia (17)
Phil Steele: Florida (1), Ole Miss (6), Alabama (8), Georgia (13), LSU (17)
Sporting News: Florida (1), Ole Miss (5), LSU (8), Alabama (13), Georgia (15)
The Kickoff: Florida (1), LSU (6), Georgia (10), Alabama (11), Ole Miss (16), Tennessee (25).
What did we learn? All five magazines had Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, and LSU ranked. The Kickoff added Tennessee at No. 25. Georgia is ranked between 10 and 17 with four of the magazines having the Bulldogs between 13-17. I think that's about right.
Conclusion: Ole Miss and LSU are all over the map. Ole Miss is as low as No. 5 and as high as No. 16. LSU is as low as No. 6 and as high as No. 17. Alabama is in the Top 10 in three magazines and are rated No. 13 and No. 11 in two others. That is why the SEC West race is going to be so interesting.
Athlon: Virginia Tech (8), Florida State (15), North Carolina (19), Georgia Tech (22)
Lindy's: Virginia Tech (5), Georgia Tech (16), Florida State (18), North Carolina (19)
Phil Steele: Virginia Tech (11), Miami (21), Clemson (25).
Sporting News: Virginia Tech (6), Georgia Tech (11), Florida State (17), North Carolina (23)
The Kickoff: Virginia Tech (8), Georgia Tech (13), Florida State (17), North Carolina (19).
What did we learn? Everybody but Phil Steele has Virginia Tech in their Top 10, so that should get your attention if you're an Alabama fan. Miami, which is expected to be better in Randy Shannon's third year, only cracked one Top 25 (Phil Steele). That's because everybody else likes Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina in the Coastal Division ahead of the Hurricanes.
Conclusion: Virginia Tech is a solid favorite to win the Coastal, but not without a fight. The Atlantic is wide open as four magazines like Florida State but Clemson jumped into Phil Steele's Top 25. N.C. State, in its third season under Tom O'Brien, could be a surprise team
What are your thoughts? Do these guys have it about right? Tomorrow we will break down the order of finish in the ACC and on Friday we'll do the SEC. That should be enough homework to get us ready for media days.

Regardless of whether you're an SEC or ACC fan, you've got to be sick of seeing Big Ten teams given any credit.

Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC could all announce that they will be playing chimpanzees at every position in the upcoming season and the morons that put these preseason polls together would still have them in the top 5. Ohio State has done absolutely NOTHING in years other than embarrass itself in big games against elite opponents. Oklahoma had one of the biggest chokejobs in BCS title game history last year in my opinion. When you're averaging 40+ ppg and only score 14 that is a major chokejob. And USC lost a 1st round QB and a bunch of other players on defense too if I'm not mistaken, from a team that still couldn't make it to the title game no less. Any other team would be lucky to crack the top 15 in such circumstances, but not USC.
These are all good programs, but good grief. The bias is obvious to anyone with a brain. These teams thrive off of perceived prestige, brand recognition, and media hype. Throw them in to the SEC and they'd be just another good program scratching and clawing just to survive every week. USC would compete well and win a few conference titles here and there, but they'd take their lumps too and get smacked in the mouth much more than they are accustomed to. Oklahoma would be remarkably ordinary, winning only 9 or 10 games most years. Ohio State would be going to Shreveport every other year. I have no doubt in my mind about any of this. It is the truth. Good day.

I think that consensus #1 for the gators is going to be ablatross all year. When you're the hunted it makes things very difficult becuase there is no where to go but down. The sec is too strong from top to bottom to go unscathed. it's been 11 years since the last sec team won the national championship undefeated. While their non-con is an absolute joke, except for fsu. nothing in the sec comes easy, so watch out gators. tebow may need to cry and give a "win one for the gipper, never again,blah,blah,…" speech.

The majority of those teams have good solid well established QB's.
Va Tech could win the ACC but I don't know if I buy into Taylor yet.
USC could be starting a true freshman and they are going to have strong competition in the PAC 10 this year.
Florida is way ahead of everyone. Ole Miss has Jevan Snead. Texas has McCoy and Oklahoma is not that different than last year other than replacing some members of it's line. Penn State has thier backfield back with a very good line in place. Ohio State is starting a sophmore QB but he's got loads of talent and handled the stage last year very well as a freshman.
Also Ryan Mallett will have his chance to bring Petrino back to prominance in Arkansas.
I don't buy Virginia Tech yet and I'm not quite bought into LSU with all the compeition in the SEC west this year. I need to see more of thier QB's first.

There will never be a 16-team Division I (FBS) playoff. It would require 4 additional games on top of the current 12-game schedule, and the 12-game schedule isn't going away. The 12-game schedule is a financial necessity for most Division I athletic programs; 6 home football games fund most of school's athletic budgets, including all sports other than football and men's basketball. A 16-team playoff would also eliminate the bowls, with all of the money that they provide to fund college athletics.
If you're in favor of a Division I football playoff, please try to propose something that makes sense. Like a plus-1; or a 4-team, post-bowl playoff that incorporates the 4 major bowls (see my comments from yesterday). Any Division I playoff must be concluded by mid-January, too; otherwise it will never be approved by the Division I university presidents. Under any playoff system, you're going to need to convince the Division I athletic directors that their programs will continue to receive as much money as they do under the present bowl system and conference television contracts. It's their job—-otherwise, there will be no women's basketball, no baseball, no women's soccer, no track & field, no swimming & diving, no softball. Remember, college athletics is more than just football, but football drives the money train.

Still, what if's, could be's and never know's can happen…Personally, I'd like to see Ole Miss come out of the West but if I were laying good Confederate dollars on it, I'll take LSU to win, Ole Miss to place and Bama to show…I just think John Bubba Parker Wilson meant that much to Alabama last season…Prove me wrong.

If I were a betting man, I would bet against Florida finishing the season undefeated.
Since 1992, only 6 SEC teams have completed the 8-game SEC schedule undefeated and won the SEC championship game (Alabama '92, Florida '95 & '96, Tennessee '98, Auburn '04). Of those six teams, only 5 finished their non-conference schedule undefeated, too (UA '92, UF '95, UT '98, AU '04). Three of those five were national champions, and a fourth played for the national championship and lost. Bottom line: it's damned hard to finish the SEC schedule undefeated, and even harder if you have non-SEC rivalries, too.
On the other hand, 4 very special SEC teams have gone undefeated since 1992, and 3 of them were national champions. Could the 2009 Gators be the fourth? Maybe, but I prefer to watch my team do it one game at a time rather than brag about it before it happens.

Gen Neyland—-If I were a betting man, I would not bet on the SEC West this year. Any of Alabama, LSU or Ole Miss could win it, and injuries, upsets and dumb luck could, and probably will, affect the outcome. None of the three will be a complete and dominant team in 2009, but all will very good.
July 8th, 2009

Who cares after this?
Florida repeats as SEC champs. UGA loses 2 games at the most. Tech loses 3 games. Spurrier quits after losing to NCSU and UGA back to back (0-2 start) and finishing the season 4-8. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. UT will win 7. KY will win 7.
Texas wins the BCS by upsetting UF.

Why is Alabama getting all this pub?? They lost their o-line and starting QB. Gimme a break!
July 8th, 2009
10:52 am
Gatorzone—-The obvious answer is LSU to upset Florida in Death Valley, but Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina all have serious upset potential. And then there's FSU—-who knows how good they will be? Oh, yeah, and the Gators have a long history of losing to teams from the State of Mississippi that they should stomp.
Assuming the Gators win the SEC East (a much safer bet than going undefeated), then they will have to play a hard game against Alabama, LSU or Ole Miss in Atlanta. Aside from the 3 gimmes (Charleston Southern, Troy & FIU), Florida's schedule is full of potential trap games. All will depend on injuries to key personnel and how well Meyer gets the Gators ready for every game.
If the Gators go undefeated and win the SEC, they will have earned a slot in the BCS Championship, but it's a long road to get there. Given the 3 weak OOC games, any single loss will probably cost the Gators a BCS title bid. This year, 12-1 will not cut it.

DawginLex : Texas is my preseason pick, too.
Atlanta Gator : That's why I'm using 'good Confederate dollars' to lay my bet…UT goes to Oxford as does Alabama, LSU, Arkansas. What I wouldn't lay a bet on is which ones they'll win or lose…

jaxdawg—-Alabama is getting all of this "pub" by default. The Tide has had great recruiting classes the last 3 years, but must restock their line and replace their QB. On the other hand, neither LSU nor Ole Miss looks to run away with SEC West.

I don't think there have been too many wire to wire champions. If I'm not mistaken, Phil Steele tends to be the most consistent year after year. The important thing is to be ranked so the team is within striking distance as the season unfolds.
July 8th, 2009
10:57 am
Phil Steele is easily the most accurate. And even if he's wrong you can read his synopsis of each team and tell he clearly knows what he's talking about. You can't say the same about any of the other mags.
The west will be a 2 horse race between Ole Miss and Bama. Still can't understand why people think LSU will win the west. This is a team that won only 3 conference games last year, they play Florida and Georgia(in Athens) in the east and in the west they travel to both Ole Miss and Bama. Ole Miss and Bama both get to avoid Florida and Georgia. Can someone explain again why they think LSU overcomes all this to win the west given the schedule?
I would give Ole Miss the edge over Bama in the west race. They get bama and LSU at home, they return something like 17 or 18 starters, and at the end of last season this team was hot. They weren't just beating people their last 5 games, they were absolutely destroying teams. And oh yeah, did I mention they were the only team to beat the gators and that they did it in the swamp by stuffing Tim Tebow on 4th down.
Gen. Neyland,
we will miss our 3 departed O-line starters from last year but there won't be any dropoff from losing Wilson. He just managed games last year. He was never asked to win games or to carry the load since we were primarily a run first, smash mouth running game type of offense. Our only real question mark will be the O-line. The talent is certainly there just not the experience.
Its a rerun about losing 21 games in a single day but I still laughed again.
July 8th, 2009
10:59 am
Gen Neyland—-They may not be legal tender, but save your Confederate dollars. Thanks to conservative Confederate monetary policy since 1865, $1 Confederate is worth more than $1 U.S. to a collector.
July 8th, 2009
11:00 am
GZ, I don't know who will beat the Gators, but as the talent continues to get spread out across the conference, it's becomming more unlikely that anyone in the SEC will go undefeated in a 12 game regular season. When the talent becomes more balanced between teams, emotion and momentum become a force of their own. It's difficult to be at your best every game….when your talent is overwhelming, you can win on a bad day, but I don't think even the Gators have overwhelming talent, when compared to the other elite teams in the SEC.
It's gonna be a mighty interestin' season.
July 8th, 2009
11:03 am
Tide Rising—-LSU will be in the mix. Given their games against UF and UGA, LSU is more likely to play the 5-3 spoiler in the SEC West. They are completely capable of beating either Bama or Ole Miss, but I don't see them going 6-2 in the SEC. We shall see.

Its hard to say who will knock off the Gators, but rest assured that someone will. LSU would be the popular favorite. My Dawgs will be well rested and prepared after the off week. We'll put up a better fight than we did last year at least. Playing at Kentucky in between Tennessee and LSU could be a letdown. South Carolina sometimes seems to give them trouble. One game that no one will mention is Mississippi State the week before Georgia. There's something about going up against former coaches. It can be tough, plus Florida struggles in the state of Mississippi. I don't know. Take your pick. You can't look at individual games in a vacuum. Florida is better than everybody on its schedule by a large margin, but that rarely guarantees much.
Having said that, if anyone is equipped to go undefeated in the SEC it is 2009 Florida. I just live by the old maxim of "expect the unexpected", but maybe an undefeated season is the unexpected.
July 8th, 2009
11:14 am
Why is Bama getting all the pub? We didn't lose our entire O-line like OU did and yet they are in everyone's top 4. We lost 3 starters but the rest of the entire 2 and 3 deep is back. We won't be as experienced with 3 new starters but all 3 will be upper classmen with playing experience.
Saban's recruiting has been so good that on our O-line we will actually have 2 former 5 star rated tackles as backups and the rest of the backups were all 4 star rated lineman. That's how much talent there is now. Everywhere else we are solid and we return 9 starters on D and all of our special teams players. Our new qb is a 4th year junior similar to Cox at UGA. We feel very comfortable with him.
Back to back no. 1 ranked recruiting classes means we are locked and loaded as far as talent goes. Last, even though we break in 3 new starters on the O-line they were able to have success during the spring game moving the ball on the ground against the nation's #3 rated Defense from last year. You can't ignore that. All that and a 12 win season from last year are why we are getting pub.
July 8th, 2009

Tony, are you trying to singlehandedly change the lexicon of the football polls? Teams are not ranked "as low as No. 5 and as high as No. 16," they are ranked AS HIGH as #5 and AS LOW as #16.
July 8th, 2009
11:20 am
Atlanta gator,
I got to respectfully disagree with you on LSU. Even if they are every bit as good a team as Ole Miss and Bama the schedule knocks them out. UF and Georgia in Athens where they have had no success is an almost sure 2 losses. Then they play on the road against both Bama and Ole Miss. They will likely drop 1 of those 2. That's 3 likely losses right there. And that's not even including their other conference foes like Arky, Auburn, etc.
Everyone jumped on the LSU bandwagon because of one game against Tech. People forget that they took a physical whipping from Ole Miss in the bayou, they lost 3 great D-lineman, 2 great O-lineman, and their qb had 1 decent game against Tech and that's it. One good game does not make a season.
July 8th, 2009
11:23 am
Tide I agree with you on the west. The other thing I do not get is Arkansas finishing in 4th on many lists. Have they looked at the schedule. The early season is brutal for a team with many new players that are supposed to make an impact. Ark may have more talent but Auburn and Miss St have better chances of getting the kinks worked out.
July 8th, 2009
11:23 am
Ole Miss is as low as No. 5 and as high as No. 16???
TB – you sound like my wife. Ole Miss is as HIGH as 5 and as LOW as 16.
July 8th, 2009
11:24 am
Hey G-Zone,
Oops, upon further review of Florida's schedule, if the Dawgs or LSU don't beat the Gators, then they may very well be undefeated heading into the SEC CG. Although ATL Gator's thoughts about "trap games" are a real possiblity, the second tier opponents all have exceptions – FSU is in turmoil, USC is stil USC, R Can Saw will play a similar style of offense to Florida's….I'm sure the defense has seen a lot of it before.
And…Florida is returning it's defense intact.
July 8th, 2009

Didn't most of those have UGAg number 1 last year?
July 8th, 2009

Awwww Yeah—-Only 2 football teams have been ranked number 1 in the AP Poll "wire-to-wire" in the last 35 years: Florida State in 1999 and Southern Cal in 2004 (16 consecutive weeks).
Nebraska and Southern Cal also did it in the 1971 and 1972 AP Polls (14 consecutive weeks), and neither was ranked number 1 in the preseason poll.
"Wire-to-wire" is usually taken to mean the actual polls after play has started. The preseason poll does not count. FSU was ranked 3rd in the '99 preseason AP Poll.
July 8th, 2009
11:28 am
I think it's ironic that earilier in the discussion, there was talk about OSU and USC being "grandfathered" into the top ten because of their history and tradition, and their struggles have been made obvious over the past few seasons. Believe me, I completely agree that Ohio State has done nothing that should even hint to the fact that they're a top 5 team this season. The Big Ten has struggled mightly against the likes of the SEC, Big 12, and Pac-10 over the past few years. But nonetheless, I don't think SEC fans should throw stones in a glass house. The SEC is the favorite of all of the pollsters, and yes, some of it is warranted (Florida), but let's take a look at this. Alabama and LSU ranked as high as number 6? Yes, LSU looked impressive in the Peach Bowl last year, but come on… That was a month after they lost to Arkansas, who was a dismal 4-8 a year ago. And Tide Rising- Alabama may have a superb recruiting class, but I think people vastly underestimate the value of experience and playing time. Talent alone does not win football games.
Basically what I'm saying is that every team in the SEC automatically has a leg up on everyone else in the nation. I think it's legitimate coming out of my mouth because I watch it happen every year, as an innocent bystander (my team is rarely in the preseason polls). So before you SEC advocates go blabbering about how OSU and USC receive far too much unwarranted press and population, look at the preseason polls, and where the SEC teams are placed. Do we really think that LSU and Alabama are better than Virginia Tech this season? We'll find out one answer on September 5.
July 8th, 2009
11:30 am
I've seen a lot of people picking Arky as a darkhorse or at least as a spoiler. Its year 2 for Petrino with his guys now having a full understanding of his offense and a much better comfort level as a team.
While I don't think they have the talent to challenge Ole Miss or Bama they return virtually all their starters and at the end of the season last year they improved a lot. They even beat this LSU team in tiger stadium that everyone seems to think is going to be so good. I'm thinking they post 7, maybe 8 wins, go to a bowl, and pull an upset or 2 over someone like Ole Miss, Bama, or Georgia. They will be the most interesting team to watch in the west IMO.
July 8th, 2009
11:40 am
Your points are duly noted but talented recruiting classes stacked upon talented recruiting classes do make a difference. Its why OU lost all 5 O-line starters but still starts out in the top 4. Its also why USC lost 10 defensive starters but like OU starts out in the top 4 in every poll. If you will notice in my post on our O-line our new starters are guys who have plenty of playing experience. They will be new as full time starters but not new as far as playing experience goes.
You state somehow that you don't think SEC teams like Bama and LSU are not quite up to task of taking on a team like Va Tech. I got to respectfully disagree. I think Georgia blew out Va Tech just a few years ago in the peach bowl and LSU pounded Va Tech to the tune of 48-7 in 2007. I think Va Tech is certainly a top 10 team this year and maybe top 5 and they are certainly to be respected. But I can guarantee that aint no SEC team in fear of a Va Tech team that the SEC has recently manhandled.

Homocystinuria is an inherited disorder that affects the metabolism of the amino acid methionine.
Alternative Names
Cystathionine beta synthase deficiency
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Homocystinuria is inherited in families as an autosomal recessive trait. This means that the child must inherit the non-working gene from both parents to be seriously affected.
Homocystinuria has several features in common with Marfan syndrome. Unlike Marfan syndrome, in which the joints tend to be "loose," in homocystinuria the joints tend to be "tight."
Newborn infants appear healthy. Early symptoms, if present at all, are not obvious.
Symptoms may occur as mildly delayed development or failure to thrive. Increasing visual problems may lead to diagnosis of this condition.
Other symptoms include:
- Chest deformities (pectus carinatum, pectus excavatum)
- Flush across the cheeks
- High arches of the feet
- Knock knees
- Long limbs
- Mental retardation
- Nearsightedness
- Psychiatric disorders
- Spidery fingers (arachnodactyly)
- Tall, thin build
Signs and tests
While performing a physical examination on the child, the health care provider may notice a tall, thin (Marfanoid) stature.
Other signs include:
- Curved spine (scoliosis)
- Deformity of the chest
- Dislocated lens of the eye
If there is poor or double vision, an ophthalmologist should perform a dilated eye exam to look for dislocation of the lens or nearsightedness.
There may be a history of frequent blood clots. Mental retardation, slightly low IQ, or psychiatric disease are common.
- Amino acid screen of blood and urine
- Genetic testing
- Liver biopsy and enzyme assay
- Skeletal x-ray
- Skin biopsy with a fibroblast culture
- Standard ophthalmic exam
There is no cure for homocystinuria. However, many people respond to high doses of vitamin B6 (also known as pyridoxine). Slightly less than half of patients respond to this treatment.
Those who do respond will need to take vitamin B6 supplements for the rest of their lives. Those who do not respond need to eat a low-methionine diet. Most will need treatment with trimethylglycine (a medication also known as betaine).
Neither a low-methionine diet nor medication will improve existing mental retardation. Medication and diet should be closely supervised by a physician with experience treating homocystinuria.
A normal dose folic acid supplement and added cysteine (an amino acid) in the diet are helpful.
Expectations (prognosis)
Although no cure exists for homocystinuria, vitamin B6 therapy can help about half of people affected by the condition.
If the diagnosis is made while a patient is young, starting a low methionine diet quickly can prevent some mental retardation and other complications of the disease. For this reason, some states screen for homocystinuria in all newborns.
Patients with persistent rises in blood homocysteine levels are at increased risk for blood clots. Clots can cause significant medical problems and shorten lifespan.
Most serious complications result from blood clots. These episodes can be life threatening.
Dislocated lenses of the eyes can severely impair vision. Lens replacement surgery should be considered.
Mental retardation is a serious consequence of the disease. However, it can be lessened if diagnosed early.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you or a family member shows symptoms of this disorder, particularly if there is a family history of homocystinuria. Also call if you have a family history and are planning to have children.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of homocystinuria. Intrauterine diagnosis of homocystinuria is available. This involves culturing amniotic cells or chorionic villi to test for cystathionine synthase (the enzyme that is missing in homocystinuria).
If there are known specific genetic mutations in the parents or family, samples from chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis can be used to test for these mutations.

Australia on brink of Ashes whitewash over England
Australia's fielder George Bailey (C) and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin (R) call an unsuccessful Leg Before Wicket appeal against England's Ben Stokes on the second day of their fifth Ashes Test, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, on January 4, 2014
The relentless Australians blasted out the hapless tourists for 155 -- the fifth time England had been dismissed for less than 200 in the series -- and set their sights on batting them out of the game with three days to play.
At second day stumps Australia were 140 for four with Chris Rogers compiling his fourth half-century in five innings on 73 and George Bailey not out 20.
The home side in the process lost the wickets of David Warner (16), Shane Watson (9), skipper Michael Clarke (6) and Steve Smith (7) as England tried to restrict Australia's mushrooming lead on a flattening Sydney Cricket Ground pitch.
Australia's pace trio of Ryan Harris, Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle earlier took three wickets apiece as England narrowly avoided the follow-on in response to Australia's first innings score of 326.
The tourists never recovered from a disastrous morning session when they crashed to 23 for five despite the efforts of young guns Ben Stokes, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow to repel the hostile home attack.
Stokes eked out a dogged 47 off 101 balls after his six-wicket haul in the Australian first innings.
But he showed an error of judgement that cost his wicket when he offered no shot and was bowled off-stump by Siddle just three short of his half-century.
It was Siddle's second wicket of his 12th over after having wicketkeeper Bairstow caught by Bailey, purposefully positioned at short mid-on, for 18, ending a 49-run stand with Stokes.
Debutant Ballance earlier went in the second over after lunch for 18, caught behind off spinner Nathan Lyon.
Ballance showed plenty of fight coming to wicket with his team in dire trouble at 17-4. He took a Mitchell Johnson bouncer flush on the helmet and needed replacement headgear.
Stuart Broad finished with an unbeaten 30 off 22 balls.
England suffered yet another demoralising top-order collapse in the morning session against the dominant Australians.
At one stage the beleaguered tourists looked in danger of falling short of their record low score of 45 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, set in 1887, but Zimbabwe-born Ballance and Stokes helped stop the rot to leave England 61-5 at lunch.
Alastair Cook (7) was out to the second ball of the day when the skipper was trapped leg before wicket by Harris without offering a shot.
Ian Bell was dropped by Watson off the next ball but nightwatchman Anderson, who needed treatment after taking a jarring blow on his right bowling hand fending off a rearing Johnson delivery, did not last long.
He edged Johnson to Clarke at second slip for seven, leaving the tourists 14-3 in the 10th over.
Johnson now has 34 wickets for the series as he bids to become only the fourth Australian bowler to take 40 wickets or more in an Ashes series along with Terry Alderman (twice), Rodney Hogg and Shane Warne.
The Australians, looking to claim only the third 5-0 series whitewash in Ashes history, followed up with the wicket of Kevin Pietersen (3), snapped up in the slips by Watson off Harris, to leave the tourists 17-4.
Bell was then out for two, caught behind by Brad Haddin off Siddle to make it 23-5.

On April 6, 2013, in the JLC Tools & Equipment forum, a regular contributor asked if the Copemaster production coping machine was still available after he searched for it and drew a blank. The machine he's referring to was introduced about 10 years ago by former Connecticut millwork manufacturer Bill Shaw, and it was an instant classic. It weighed 65 pounds (so you could carry it around a job site), could cope crown up to 7 5/8 inches wide at least twice as fast as coping by hand, and cost $2,295. I talked with a finish-carpentry contractor in 2007 who...

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates.

Tuesday, August 6, 88-year-old Morris Stafford wanted to go vote and decided to take a taxi.
"I was going to catch a cab, and I looked around, it was three or four cars waiting," he said.
Stafford selected the lady driver, and he had his reasons.
"I won't get any problem from her like I would the fellas," he said.
However, he believes trying to make a good decision ended badly.
"All I remember is I got over close the car, and next time I was getting up, and she had hit me with something," Stafford explained.
Banged up a little bit, he started walking and said he became lost. He landed another cab, and that driver took him to the 12th Precinct at Seven Mile and Woodward.
Stafford suffers from the beginning stages of dementia. Officers at the precinct helped get him in touch with his nephew.
"He came to the police station and picked me up," Stafford said.
Meanwhile, Stafford's stepdaughter was scared to death. She still had no idea of his whereabouts. He left from her house and never returned.
"I was terrified because I hear all the different things that happen to the senior citizens and not just them, just everyone in general out here, and I was just worried that anything could happen to him," said Vanessa Brown.
She called the cops, they came and took her missing persons report.
"We did a media release, and you guys showed it on the air last (Wednesday) night," said Detroit Police Sergeant Marcellus Ball.
We also aired the story Thursday morning that Morris Stafford was missing. Guess who was turned into Fox 2?
"I said, 'How could that be?' I said, 'I'm here.'" Stafford said. "I started laughing because I thought they were joking."
Ball showed up to verify Stafford's identity and that he was safe and sound.
"Unfortunately, he said he was robbed by somebody, but they didn't get anything," Ball said. "But he can't remember anything right now."
"He wants to be independent and do everything on his own, but it's to the point now he can't do everything on his own. Somebody has to be with him, but we just don't want to take all that independence away from him," Brown said.
The family said because of what happened things will change, and come November, he will not go to vote alone.
Family also said they had no idea there was any urgency to return Stafford to his stepdaughter or to contact her because they didn't know what had happened prior.

The Annotated Ramsar List: Croatia
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Croatia on 25 June 1991. Croatia presently has 5 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 94,358 hectares.
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates
site; date de désignation; région, province, état; superficie; coordonnées
sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Crna Mlaka (Crna Mlaka Fishponds). 18/01/93; Zagreb County; 756 ha; 45°36'40"N 015°44'09"E. Ornithological Reserve, National Ecological Network. An extensive carp fishponds area that represents an important breeding, feeding and staging/stopover site for a number of wetland species, especially birds. The site comprises the alluvial wetland along the lower part of the Kupa River and its tributaries and is surrounded by one of the largest complexes of alluvial oak forests in Europe. The fishponds with their water surface, extensive marsh vegetation, and rich food resources represent important site for migratory and breeding waterbirds such as the Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca - together with other waterbirds, Crna Mlaka supports up to 15-20,000 birds during the fall migration. The Otter Lutra lutra and the Beaver Castor fiber also inhabit the fishponds. The site plays an important role in flood retention and control. Factors threatening the ecological character of the wetland include fish production activities and lack of effective water management. Within the site hunting is forbidden and forestry is restricted. Human activities in the ornithological reserve include fish production, recreational fishing and ecotourism. Ramsar Site no. 582. Mosts recent RIS information: 2012.
Lonjsko polje and Mokro polje including Krapje Dol. 18/01/93; Sisak-Moslavina, Brod-Posavina Counties; 51,218 ha; 45°21'43"N 16°50'02"E. Nature Park, Ornithological Reserve, Protected Landscape, Wilderness Area. A vast floodplain along the Sava River, covered by oak alluvial forest, alder swamp forests, wet meadows and pastures. The area supports more than two thirds of Croatian bird species (250 species), 138 of which breed in Lonjsko Polje Nature Park. The area also supports stable populations of species that depend on the forest integrity, such as the White-Tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla and the Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquilla pomaria. The site is also one of the biggest spawning areas for fish in the Danube basin. Ecological processes and inundation dynamics set the pattern for the traditional land use, creating a unique mosaic of anthropogenic and natural habitats important for the preservation of biological and landscape diversity. Land use activities are, among others, grazing, hunting, fishing and water management. The natural floodplain areas are used for floodwater retention. Ramsar Site no. 584. Most recent RIS information: 2012.
Nature Park Kopacki rit (Kopacki rit). 18/01/93; 23,894 ha; 45º35'N 018º51'E. Added to the Montreux Record, 16 June 1993. Zoological Reserve, Nature Park. Located within the floodplain at the confluence of the Danube and Drava rivers, and subject to spring flooding, the site supports extensive reedbeds and woodland and includes numerous channels, oxbow lakes, and a complex of fishponds. The site is of considerable importance for breeding various Ardeidae, as well as cormorants, storks and sea eagles; wintering and staging birds also frequent the site. Principal human activities include tourism, hunting and fish farming. The area is subject to increasing siltation and nutrient-enrichment. During the military conflicts in the region, serious damage resulting from deforestation for firewood was reported. Subject of a Ramsar Advisory Mission, 2005. Area significantly extended in October 2007. Ramsar site no. 583. Most recent RIS information: 2007.
Neretva River Delta. 18/01/93; Dubrovnik-Neretva County; 12,742 ha; 43°01'40"N 017°34'25"E. Important Bird Area, Protected Ornithological Reserve, Wilderness Area, Protected Landscape. The Neretva is the largest river of the eastern Adriatic watershed, and its final section stretches through Croatian territory, forming an extensive delta with large reedbeds, lakes, wet meadows, lagoons, sandbanks, sandflats and saltmarshes. The area is important stopover place during migrations of birds from middle and northeast Europe to Africa, situated on the route of the Central European (Black Sea/Mediterranean) Flyway. The river mouth is of greatest importance for migration of waders, the Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia, terns and gulls, as well as for breeding of the Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrines and the Stilt Himantopus himantopus. Reedbeds and water bodies shelter migrating and wintering ducks, coots and grebes, and the Neretva and its tributaries are exceptionally rich in fish species. The delta plays a very important role in flood control and sediment trapping. Besides the traditional agriculture landscape, there are large complexes of intensively managed agricultural land with plantations of tangerines and greenhouses with vegetables. The delta is also rich in cultural and historical heritage. The largest threats to the are connected to issues of water management and agriculture sectors (eutrophication, fertilizer pollution, land reclamation, and habitat fragmentation). Ramsar Site no. 585. Most recent RIS information: 2012.
Vransko Lake ("Vransko jezero"). 02/02/2013; Zadar, Šibenik-Knin; 5,748 ha; 43°53"28"N 015°34'36"E. Nature Park, Special Ornithological Reserve. The largest natural lake in Croatia, situated in a shallow karst bed and separated from the Adriatic Sea by a narrow karst ridge. Significant seasonal variations in water level and changes in salinity due to intrusion of sea water through permeable karst create conditions for development of very specific habitats. The shallowest northwest part of the site is characterized by reedbeds, floodplain and seasonally flooded arable land; the hills lining the eastern coast are covered by typical Mediterranean macchia and garrigue, while the lower western coast gives a more rocky appearance. Vransko Lake marsh remains of what used to be a much larger Vrana swamp, drained by melioration canals in the 18th century. The site is a nesting, wintering and resting area for many threatened waterbirds, such as the Ardea purpurea, Egretta alba and Porzana pusilla. The lake is the biggest reservoir of fresh water in this region of Croatia. During rainy season the marsh regulates floods, and the reedbeds are excellent in purifying waters that enter the lake through melioration canals, carrying fertilizers that could enhance the lake eutrophication. A management plan (2010) for the Nature Park is being implemented. Ramsar Site no. 2109. Most recent RIS information: 2012.

Adrienne Motley scored 15 points and the University of Miami pulled away from Wake Forest in the second half en route to a 72-64 win at the BankUnited Center on Sunday afternoon.
The Hurricanes (14-13, 6-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) took control of the game with a 10-0 run late in the second period to beat the Demon Deacons (14-13, 5-9) for the second time this season.
That was just a really gritty, hard-fought game, Miami coach Katie Meier said. I think both teams had specific things they needed to do in order to win.
The Hurricanes forced 27 turnovers, including 19 steals the most of any ACC team in conference play this season.
Seven different Hurricanes recorded a steal and Motley and Maria Brown led with four apiece.
Keyona Hayes added 12 for Miami and Suriya McGuire contributed 11.
The Hurricanes trailed by four going into halftime, but finished the first half on a 6-0 run and carried that momentum into the second half. The lead went back-and-forth for most of the second period until Miamis defense held Wake Forest without a point for a three-minute stretch just past the midway point. During that span, the Hurricanes went from trailing 53-52 to leading 62-53.
The Hurricanes only hit three three-pointers in the game, but they were timely. At the front end of Miamis 10-0 run it was Krystal Saunders who sank a long ball to extend Miamis lead to five and shift the momentum in UMs direction.
Miami once again got scoring production off the bench, including 13 of its 32 points at the half. Necole Sterlings nine points marks the first time this season that the junior has scored more than points in three consecutive games.

Keep an eye on: CBS results, shudder
CBS reported fourth quarter financial results on Tuesday morning, confirming the obvious. Old media bad, new media better. Profit dropped 15 percent, dragged by anemic radio, TV and publishing sales.
The one bright spot? Outdoor. And even that was primarily driven by benefits from the weak dollar.
The challenges facing traditional media are not lost on CBS, which has been trying to ramp up its digital business and has been selling off underperforming TV and radio stations.
For now, however, CBS's 1 percent revenue growth on an organic basis, according to Goldman Sachs, stands in stark contrast to some of its other big media peers — Disney revenue was up about 10 percent; News Corp revenue rose 9.5 percent; even Time Warner eked out a 2 percent rise in quarterly revenue.

Verlander Wins 22nd, Tigers Sweep Indians
Justin Verlander showed Wednesday he is still human. The verdict is still out on Victor Martinez.
On an afternoon when Verlander gave up a pair of two-run home runs to Shelley Duncan, Martinez put the fireballer back in front with a seventh-inning grand slam against his old team. The resulting 8-6 win completed a three-game series sweep at Progressive Field for Detroit, which moved 9 1/2 games ahead of Cleveland.
The Tigers hold an 8 1/2-game advantage over the second-place White Sox, who were scheduled to play in Minnesota on Wednesday night.
It was the fate many expected once the Tigers took the first two games, and it made Verlander the club's first 22-game winner since Mickey Lolich won 22 in 1972. It just took a couple crazy turns to get there.
The only multihomer game off Verlander this year had belonged to White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin. That was in April, before Verlander went on his midseason tear that included a no-hitter in May and a near no-hitter against the Tribe in June.
Duncan entered the day 2-for-11 with four strikeouts off Verlander, including an 0-for-3 effort last month at Comerica Park. Once Duncan battled his way to a 2-2 count and got a 96 mph fastball, however, he had the speed to turn on it and send it to the far reaches of the left-field pavilion, a 396-foot shot for his seventh home run in the second inning. The blast gave Cleveland a 2-0 lead.
Verlander retired seven straight Indians from there, which enabled Alex Avila's sacrifice fly and Wilson Betemit's double off Justin Masterson to tie the game. Verlander struck out four of five batters at one point, using sharp breaking balls to fan Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana at the start of the fourth inning. Once Jim Thome barely missed what would've been his eighth career homer off Verlander -- Thome settled for a double -- up came Duncan again with an RBI chance.
Verlander tried to overpower Duncan with three straight fastballs at 96 mph or higher. Duncan took the first and swung late at the second. He did not miss the third, sending it to nearly the same spot as his earlier homer to give Cleveland a 4-2 lead.
That was the last hit Verlander allowed, but a 27-pitch sixth inning cost him a chance at a deeper outing. Still, he was the pitcher of record when the Tigers rallied in the top of the seventh.
Detroit built the rally without a hard-hit ball, from Austin Jackson's leadoff grounder through the middle to Will Rhymes' grounder off Duncan for an error. Andy Dirks' sacrifice-bunt attempt was so well-placed that he beat out the throw for a single to load the bases for Miguel Cabrera and chase Masterson from the game.
Sidearmer Joe Smith approached Cabrera as best he could, but the slugger reached for a pitch around his ankles and grounded it through the left side for an RBI single. Indians manager Manny Acta went to lefty Tony Sipp to turn Martinez around to bat right-handed. When Sipp's 89 mph first-pitch fastball found too much of the plate, it didn't matter.
Martinez watched the ball on its trip to the left-field bleachers, then rounded the bases as the Tigers fans who made the trip roared. Martinez's second career grand slam -- with his other also coming against the Indians, two years ago for Boston -- was his first at Progressive Field. It was also the 10th RBI of the series for Martinez, who accounted for more runs than the entire Cleveland lineup throughout the three-game set.
Verlander (22-5) allowed four runs on just three hits over six innings, striking out eight. Lonnie Chisenhall's two-run homer off Phil Coke brought Cleveland back within a run in the seventh, but Jose Valverde tied a club record by converting his 42nd straight save to seal the sweep.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

for taro shiba's bad photo friday… this is me in rinji & mika's awesome backyard. i made a funny face when some of the humans went inside.
from the shiba mini-meetup in tempe a couple of weeks ago… tokyo shiba & i like to stride in sync.
on saturday, i went over to have a play date with @shiba_rinji and his big sis, Mika. i really do love hanging out with them. they've got a great backyard and it's fun to play games with Rinji while Mika plays referee.
my favorite game? keep the kong air squeaky ball away from the silly shiba puppy. i'm pretty good at it.
i realize Mika's not in the pic above, so here's a video of Mika and Rinji being pet by their human grandma. i'm just sniffin' the porch in the background while they get some human attention and affection.
i love my bald eagle toy! it's my current favorite toy. i love it so much, i hope my humans will get me a different animal to go with it.
it's made by kyjen and comes with eggs. you put the eggs inside, and i get to steal them. it can be kind of difficult to steal the eggs, but i almost always get 'em. my humans usually hide a treat behind the eggs so that i'll work extra hard to get that treat. and when i'm all done, whew, i'm exhausted! i like to follow my playtime with a well-earned nap.
a special thanks to @shiba_rinji, mika and pack for giving me this awesome toy as a christmas gift.

another pic with my bald eagle toy. i was so tired from playing that the eagle and i took a nap together. my humans thought i was just being cute, but they didn't realize the eagle and i had called a temporary truce from our intense 'steal the eagle eggs' game.
it's thursday, so it's time for another installment of taro around tempe!
this pic features me while i was hanging out next to the pond at tempe center for the arts. it was early morning and the sun hadn't quite navigated around tempe's "A Mountain." tempe town lake is to the left of the photo and i was looking out over it.
i realize i'm not very visible, but my humans really liked this pic.
for this week's taro shiba's bad photo friday… i just couldn't keep my eyes open during an early morning dog park visit!
hey humans, can't i just sleep for 5 more minutes? please?
today's taro shiba advertisement is for… old spice!
hello ladies! how are you? fantastic. does your man look like me? no. can he smell like me? yes. should he use old spice body wash and deodorant? you tell me.
…smell like a shiba, with old spice!
with regard to career longevity, i have a real concern as to my perceived shiba masculinity. i realize that, at roughly half the size of the lower bound of AKC male shiba show weight, i'm extremely small. it's important to me that i don't get typecast as 'the cute little shiba'. moreover, i'm sick of strange humans calling me a cute little girl. therefore, i believe i need to demonstrate to my adoring public that i have awesome, attractive male swagger.
so, today, my advertising goes out on the offensive. i'm officially taking over for isaiah mustafa as the new old spice advertising spokesman. (never seen isaiah mustafa? then watch this ad and this ad.) i'll embody shiba manliness in a way that will make male and female humans unable to resist purchasing old spice products. i'm even using isaiah mustafa's towel-only look, so as to accentuate my stunning upper torso and mesmerizing brown eyes.
so, there you have it. it's a new day for taro shiba advertising, and a bold step toward a long career full of diverse roles. and ladies, remember: while your man may not look like me, he can smell like me… with old spice bodywash and deodorant.
if you liked this week's taro shiba advertisement, you can:
it's retro/hipstamatic taro shiba wednesday! for this week, i'm sharing a pic of me on top of tempe's "a mountain".
i look ruggedly handsome on top of this butte, especially in my awesome ezydog harness.
taken in late october while on a hike with my human, kai.

We grew up…and got older!
Posted on 03. Dec, 2013 by Sandra in Earthship
For the last few weeks Chris and I have been posting the occasional bit of information here. Everytime I come here I wince because the photo of us was taken in August 2009, just after we finished paddling the Bowron Lakes Circuit.
For about 18 months I've been trying to find time to re-do the website…change the photo, layout, even the name. All of this would better reflect earthship-finishing and post building activities like permaculture, gasification, current events in the realm of alternative building.
Alas, things have been too busy. And with three teens involved in piano, dance, hunting, 3D printer building, skiing, theatre…well, I don't really want to spend the money to hire somebody else to re-design.
I thought it might be fun to post a more recent photo…recent meaning last February. It's not a great one of us…the kids were cranky, we were cranky, and we were late getting to something. But an online magazine needed a photo of us and this was it!
