he plays tonight against kstate tonight at 8:30. should be interesting to watch
I'm not sold that Damontre Moore is definitely going to go above our pick.
You have to take a step back from what you personally want and take a look at what the Dolphins need and are doing at the position. They took Olivier Vernon and they're not likely to feel any time soon that it was a mistake. But watching how they've morphed and molded him throughout the year is instructive. He plays a lot like a 3-4 OLB, and they've definitely dialed back the expectations on his pass rush ability. Meanwhile they really do seem like they might let Randy Starks walk and then move Jared Odrick over to take his spot. That won't be announced. They're not going to come out in a press conference and say that they're moving Odrick in to replace Starks. They'll probably do the opposite and talk about how now they have a need at defensive tackle and you'll see defensive tackles talked about for the Dolphins in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds. Then they'll take a defensive and and reveal it was their plan to move Odrick in to tackle all along. Sort of exactly how they handled things in the wake of Jason Ferguson retiring.
What that would do is open up a hole for what they've had in Jared Odrick, which is a big strong run stopping end that moves inside on pass downs. Who fits THAT description? That would be guys like Zeke Ansah and perhaps Sheldon Richardson. Datone Jones. Maybe William Gholston. Maybe Malliciah Goodman. Margus Hunt.
But at the same time they've got Koa Misi coming down to the line of scrimmage in pass rush situations and rushing opposite Cameron Wake. Forgive me, I think they know that's not viable long term. So they know they need a guy that can do that for him, but do they want to get that done with a guy that will have to come onto the field and then leave? Or should we be taking a clue from how they're using Koa Misi and look for a guy that can do more of that?
Sadly, the odds might be in favor of them continuing to beat their heads against a wall with Olivier Vernon trying to be a pass rusher.
And so I'm not scheduling them for heavy looks at guys like Jarvis Jones, Barkevious Mingo, Corey Lemonier or Brandon Jenkins.
But a big part of me hopes that they'll take into consideration guys that can get both jobs done against the run and pass, like Alex Okafor, Bjoern Werner and maybe Dion Jordan, James Gayle or Damontre Moore.

I think the strength only looks that way because of the second point you alluded to which is that Dion Jordan lacks a pass rush repertoire. He overplays the outside shoulder, always, and it makes him highly predictable. He hardly EVER counters back to the inside. Seen him do it, and do it pretty well, but he just doesn't do it often. Seen him try some spin moves to the inside and I'll comfortably say, that's not going to be his thing. Given the position he's played at Oregon it's not entirely surprising he lacks a full array of moves. He's in need of coaching and confidence. Jason Taylor had a nice and varied pass rush repertoire in the NFL. And he certainly had the confidence to use it all.
However, that also brings me to my final point...did Jason really have that big of a tool box when he left Akron? Because I seem to remember Taylor struggling hard with variety his first three years in the NFL under DL Coach Cary Godette. People tend to forget that. He had 5 sacks his first year in the NFL and a nice 9 sack season in his second year, but then he struggled like hell in 1999 just to get 2.5 sacks as a full time right end. Full time. He played every down. 2.5 sacks. Taylor was done as a pro. Finished. "The book (had) been written" on how to block him. Tackles figured out that all you had to do was "muscle him" because all he had was the speed rush.
I recall that when Godette left, Taylor said that while Godette was there, he essentially considered old man Trace Armstrong to be his DL Coach. That's not the greatest thing because Trace Armstrong himself was the epitome of a one-trick pony as a pass rusher, so in all likelihood any advice he gave Taylor was just "Hey man if you're a speed rusher be a speed rusher, nothin wrong with being what you are".
Somewhere around that time, he started to get better defensive line coaching. I think his next coach was Clarence Brooks. Around that time I think Brooks started to teach Jason that it was OK to get into a four-point stance. That seemed to me like a turning point for Jason. I do remember that at that time his four-point stances were considered way outside the norm for the position and many coaches just didn't like it, and that was part of why Taylor was considered good for the Dolphins' scheme under Johnson and Wannstedt but not necessarily the same game changer in a different scheme. I think the four-point stance came with it a bevy of new and more dangerous counters that made Jason a more complete player. But I think the range of moves he showed in the second half of his career doesn't speak well to how he was when he was accounting for just 5.5 sacks a year in his first 3 years in the NFL...and probably (though I never watched him there) doesn't indicate his range back at Akron either.
Not much on the intelligence side of the equation:

"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
DK his mom was a crazy drug addict and the kid stuck by her and did anything to help her and his family get through it. Apparently she isn't an addict anymore because of Dions help. I would imagine he was probably stealing gas for his family. But I don't know that full story.
Let's go Miami!!!!
See that failed 4th & 1 on K-State's first drive if you think Jordan is weak against the run, or weak period. Handled K-State's right tackle, kept his outside arm free, broke thru at will and kept Klein from bouncing it outside.
plus, the fact that Olivier Vernon is still developing and learning...they´re not gonna quit on him that quickly...
Man Jordan is on skates so far he's getting pushed all over the place by a TE?
Seen only two pass rush reps from Jordan so far. One a perfect outside rush, another a terrible one. Now he just busted thru backfield and took out Klein in the backfield on a run. That was. Big play on goal lie. Now another big one challenged the lead blocker with hands forcing Klein to keep the option.
A third pass rush rep that wasn't a pass rush at all. He came in with goal of disrupting back out of backfield en route to QB so that Klein couldn't just dump to the back on a flare, and Jordan murdered the guy with his hands. Totally disrupted that route. Didn't matter as Klein scrambled opposite direction for TD.
Jordan really showing off those violent hands I keep talking about.

Yeah, if Hartline is your #2, you're doing something wrong.
However if you look at the top QBs
Brady = Gronk/Ridley/Varenn/Lloyd/Hernandez/Welker
Rodgers = Jennings/Cobb/Finley/Jones/Nelson
Brees = Colston/Sproles/Moore/Graham/even Ingram started to produce
Peyton = Decker/D.Thomas/McGahee,Moreno/Stokley is a great #3
M.Ryan = R.White/J.Jones/J.Rodgers/H.Douglad/T.Gonzalez
While i also believe in the concept that the QB makes the players around them better, it does work the other way as well, i agree I would expect an improvement in RT17 if he has Jennings/Hartline/Bess,Bush and sprinkle in Miller, but like the origin of this thread i dont think Fasano is anything more than a great blocker who catches 2 passes in the 1st quarter, dissapears for quarter 2 and 3, maybe makes a catch in the 4th, and i think the only reason he lead the team in TDs is b/c he was the only RZ target by defintion on the team in terms of height and overall size, i will give him props his TD catches in the back corner of the endzone agaisnt the NYJ and SF were pretty amazing, problem is between those amazing catches he dissapeaers for quarters and games on end
I do however think Clay can be a difference maker as we saw in his 2 long TDs vs. SEA and IND where he got great seperation from the LB and was a clear mismatch
look at Rodgers. He had Jennings Nelson Cobb Jones and Finley, and still lost. And that's Rodgers.
So does that kid from Cal, Allan. Whoever we pick up as a free agent, we need to draft talented youth too.
Couldnt agree more, grab a couple WR's in the first 3 rounds. Get a DE too, since there seems to be excess in this draft also. Fill the other holes in FA.......playoff bound!!
If we sign Jennings and resign Hartline, that gives us Jennings as our 2, Hartline as our 3, Bess as our 4, and Matthews as our 5. That's a solid 2-5 and can get even better as Tannehill continues to build chemistry with Hartline and Bess as well as Matthews maturing because he has upside. That only leaves a certain spot for a 1 and if Philbin wants a 6. So lets either sign a true 1 like Bowe or Wallace or draft a 1. Our 6 can come from the practice squad in Tyms or Fuller or perhaps Binns. IMO that's a very good group of WR's for Tannehill to win with.
Finally, grab either Ertz or Eifert at TE from the draft, resign Fasano as our 2 TE, and continue to integrate Clay. That's a fine group of TE's as well. If we play our FA money right we don't have to invest many draft picks on offensive playmakers.
1. Melvin Gordon RB
2. Bernardrick McKinney ILB
3. Steve Nelson CB
4. John Miller G
5. Adrian Amos FS
5. Kenny Bell WR

The School of Earth & Environmental Sciences brings a multi-discipline approach to the study of the processes operative within the Earth and, especially, on the surface of the Earth, the products of those processes, and how both processes and products can and have changed through geologic time. The interdisciplinary nature of this study is emphasized both in the research of the faculty and in the course offerings at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The major tracks in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences prepare students for:
Courses also provide a background in environmental sciences and studies for students of other natural and social sciences, and broaden the general background of students in all disciplines.
Departmental History
The Department of Geology was created in 1962 and continued, with a variety of names until 1996. During this period the emphasis was in geology and environmental geology as indicated by both the research interests of the faculty and the curriculum. In 1996, the department reconstituted itself as the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences in an effort to create a truly interdisciplinary entity that would make the environment a centerpiece of intellectual activity on campus (Self-study, 1999).
New majors in Environmental Sciences with concentrations in Geology or Biology or Chemistry were created. An Environmental Studies major with emphasis on the social sciences and humanities as well as the basics of environmental sciences was added. New master programs in Geotechnology moved course offerings in new directions. These varied offerings needed a broader faculty base that could comfortably be included within the classic geology discipline. Thus was born the "School" rather than a department to enable us to make hires of the interdisciplinary faculty necessary to continue our growth. Today, marine biologists, ecologists, and soil scientists share with geologists, geochemists, and geophysists the excitement of the study of our Earth.

I know we need alot of players to step up, but what happens if the pats lose today? They are 6-3. We can beat the jags and bills (well we can), and with some luck the seahawks and 49ers. The pats have houston, 49ers, and the colts today- thats not a gimme.
Then we play the pats twice.
We are 2 games behind them with 6 games left.
Is there anyone else out there that thinks we hold our destiny for AFCE Champ? Let the bashing begin, and yes, I did see the last two games, haha!

Gallery: Vincent Callebaut Unveils Stacked Pebble-Inspired Eco-Farmscra...
People are flocking to the cities around the world, especially in China with 75% of the Chinese population projected to be living in urban environments by 2030. To alleviate the pressures put on the city by this influx, alternatives must be considered for energy production, growing food and managing waste. Much like Vincent Callebaut's proposal for New York City, the Dragonfly, Asian Cairns is a mixed-use project that supports sustainable and healthy living in Shenzhen.
Organized on a circular site, the project consists of six towers that resemble a cairn, or a stack of stones. The vertical farm contain residential areas, offices and leisure spaces, and the land surrounding the tower acts as urban green space and water reclamation areas for processing rainwater and grey water. The pebble like volumes are actually steel rings and provide lots of natural daylight inside. Building integrated photovoltaics and vertical axis wind turbines provide renewable energy, while waste water is processed and recycled in basins. Lush gardens and growing areas not only produce food for the residents of the complex, but also work to improve air quality.
The project works to solve the problem of providing resources in a sustainable manner to dense urban environments. No word yet on whether the concept will become a reality.

The vertical farm technology is wonderful invention of the 21st century. It is going to change the face of future of world agriculture with growing population and decreasing soil/water resources.

Randolph seizes counterfeit $20 bills
Two people face charges following an investigation by the Randolph County Sheriff's Office about counterfeit $20 bills.
According to a press release, the bills had been passed in the western part of Randolph County to individuals as well as David's Place on Hwy. 64 in Asheboro.
The search warrant was served March 12 at 4861 Cameron Circle in Asheboro by members of the Special Operations Division, State Bureau of Investigations and the Secret Service.
At the address, a computer and printer were seized.
Two were placed under arrest:
• Bobby Dewayne Small, 26, was charged with possession more than five counterfeit instruments.
• Heather Nichole Hollar, 25, was charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretense, two counts of forgery of instrument and possession of more than five counterfeit instruments.
Both were placed in Randolph County Jail under a $25,000 secured bond.
Capt Derrick Hill said the investigation is ongoing.

Williams found themselves at the bottom of the timesheets with Caterham and Marussia at the end of Friday's practice for the Japanese GP...
Valtteri Bottas: " There are still some balance issues with the car and the strong winds today made it feel more inconsistent. We are struggling to get the most out of the soft tyres when the track conditions are improving, and relative to the other cars I would say that our pace is similar to where we were in Korea. Nevertheless I managed to get a good number of laps in today, more than any other driver, so we have a lot of data available to us to try and improve the car's performance and find a few extra tenths ahead of qualifying."
Pastor Maldonado: "It was a frustrating day today as I didn't get the amount of time on track that I would have liked. My FP1 session ended early after a problem with my left-rear tyre, and at the beginning of FP2 I was struggling for grip and lost the back end of the car and went off the circuit which ended my running. Tomorrow is another day though and FP3 will give us a chance to improve the set-up based on what we learnt today and get some low fuel running in to optimise our car for qualifying, which will be important as overtaking here can be difficult."
Charles Pic: "I was back in the car for FP2 and we went straight to work on a set of hard tyres at the start of the session. At first the car felt a bit too sharp on turn-in and in the high speed section there was a bit too much understeer, so we added a bit of front wing for the next run. That improved the balance a little but it still wasn't great. It was the same on the options but for the long run we changed the rear anti-roll bar and it felt better, we were definitely going in the right direction but it still wasn't quite enough. On entry it felt more calm and we'd reduced some of the mid-corner understeer but over the course of the final run it was pretty clear we also needed to look at the ratios for Saturday. Overall not too bad but I think there's quite a bit more to come for tomorrow."
Giedo van der Garde: ""FP1 started off ok. The car balance wasn't too bad but as the tyres started going off it was oversteering more than I'd like and it felt like we needed to add more wing to control that, mainly in the low-speed sections, especially with the lower downforce setup we started with. It was pretty good in the high-speeds but we added a bit more wing for run two and initially it was a bit better. We'd switched to the second of the aero configurations we were trying in the session and unfortunately it didn't go to plan as I went off in turn nine towards the end of the run - that was FP1 over, but we had 15 laps on the board by then so it didn't compromise us too much.
"At the start of FP2 the car balance was better after we'd made the changes over lunch but I was still struggling with understeer in sector one and oversteer at the end of sector two, and less traction than I'd like in turns 11 and 17. For the run on options we added more front wing but I couldn't put a really quick lap together. We finished with the usual long run, starting on hards and they held up well over the 20 lap run we did before boxing just before the end of the session. To be honest, it didn't feel like there was a lot of difference between the hards and the mediums but we'll look at the data from both cars tonight and see where we can make progress tomorrow. Overall it was a bit of a frustrating day, but I know there's more potential in the car so I'm as positive as ever and we'll come back fighting tomorrow."
Max Chilton: "It has been really good to get my first taste of the mighty Suzuka Circuit today, but as we have seen, it is quite a tough track to get to grips with. From the early part of the morning session it was clear that setting the car up for this track and achieving a good balance was going to be quite a challenge. That challenge increased when Jules was unable to take part in this afternoon's session and we had to make every lap of data gathering count. I'm pleased with how my afternoon session went in terms of improving the car balance and my overall pace, so I'm looking forward to continuing this progress tomorrow."
Jules Bianchi: "It has been a tough day and with only 8 laps completed it is not the way I had expected things to go in my first sessions at Suzuka. My chassis was too damaged for me to take part in FP2 so the Team are building up the spare chassis and I will run again in FP3 tomorrow morning. We have a lot of work to do now - me with my engineers and also for the mechanics building the car up for tomorrow - so all we can do is work hard and hope for a better day tomorrow."

Three Senators Respond to the President's Assertion of an Appointments Clause Prerogative
Marty Lederman
I noted last week that the President has asserted a constitutional authority to ignore (i.e., to misconstrue) a new statute that would require that the appointed administrator of FEMA have a demonstrated ability in and knowledge of emergency management and homeland security and not less than five years of executive leadership and management experience in the public or private sector.
Why can't the Senate just pass a rule for themselves that more than a simple 51 votes is needed to approve an appointee that doesn't match their qualifications? Something like an automatic filibuster.
Well, good for Lieberman -- I don't get to say that often. And for Mary "Levees No, Torture Yes!" Landrieu.
Although this is a political and not a legal observation, I cannot help but notice that, when seeking additional authority, this administration routinely invokes the "unitary executive branch" theory. But when the time comes to take responsibility (which means, of course, not merely uttering the words, but accepting real consequences), the "unitary executive branch" theory disappears as quickly and completely as a snowflake on a hot frying pan.
There's a good argument for political estoppel here, and perhaps for legal estoppel as well.
The senate rule idea is a good one, and seems perfectly constitutional. But I doubt that the current Senate majority would support it.
These three senators are known maverick centrists in their respective political parties. All joined together once before last year to assure Senator Frist he could obtain cloture against the Democrats if Justice Alito's nomination was to be filibustered.
Two of these senators voted for the law which ended eight hundred years of habeas tradition in western democracy; Republican Snowe was not voting.
I like the concept of having an animated president, and, in that sense appreciate INSvChadha's fostering of the separateness of the executive from the legislative.
I expect Globe reporter Savage to revisit the signing statements matter as one scholar is reporting that with the president's most recent signing statement he has surpassed the 1,000 total statutes declared invalid by this president. The last time Charlie Savage covered this story I believe the total was less than 800. Another website following the signing statement story is covering a few new related topics, as well, here.
Well, it was Senator Collins; and, yes, she joined the maverick group of 14 in the pre-cloture memo last year; and Collins voted for the commissions right to torture a little bit bill recently.
I am sorry I mentioned senator Snowe, above.

Walking Sicily and the Aeolian Islands
Italy, Trek & Walk, 8 days - from £995 (land only) - from €1,395 (land only) - from $1,620 (land only)
Country Profile
Italy is located in southern Europe and comprises the long, boot-shaped Italian Peninsula, the land between the peninsula and the Alps, and a number of islands including Sicily and Sardinia. Its total land area is 294,020 km². Italy shares its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and the Vatican City. Its coastline stretches for 7,600 km along the Adriatic, Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas. Italy is a mountainous country, with the Alps as the northern boundary and the Apennine Mountains forming the backbone of the peninsula. In between the two lies a large plain in the valley of the Po, the largest river in Italy, which flows 652 km (405 miles) eastward from the Cottian Alps to the Adriatic. In the north of the country are a number of subalpine lakes, the largest of which is Garda (370 km², 143 sq miles). Several islands form part of Italy. The largest are Sicily (25,708 km², 9,926 square miles) and Sardinia (24,090 km², 9,301 sq miles). There are also a few active volcanoes: Etna, located on Sicily, is the largest active volcano in Europe and Vesuvius, is the only active volcano on the mainland of Europe.
Time Zone
The time in Italy is GMT + 1 hour and GMT + 2 hours in summer time.
The official language of Italy is Italian. In Sicily, Sicilian is also spoken, a dialect of Italian which is sufficiently distinct to be considered a separate language. Both Italian and Sicilian are so-called 'Romance languages' and have their roots in Latin. Your attempts to speak the local language will be well appreciated. Take a pocket phrase book such and learn some common greetings and phrases before you go.
Italy has a largely temperate climate with regional variations. In summer the Northern parts of Italy are warm with occasional rainfall, the central region is somewhat stifled by humidity and the south scorches under the dry heat. Most people visit Italy between June and August, however the best time to visit is in Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) when the weather is good and the tourists are few. The sea is warm enough for swimming between June and September. In winter, conditions in Milan, Turin and Venice are dominated by cold, damp and fog and Tuscany's winter temperatures approach freezing, while temperatures in the south of the country are more favorable averaging 50-60°F (10-20°C). The ski season runs between December and April and the best time to walk in the Alps is between June and September.
The unit of currency in Italy is the Euro. For up to date exchange rates visit: www.xe.com. You should take some euros with you on your holiday to Italy. These are readily available at most banks. If you run out of euros, dollars and sterling can easily be exchanged once you are in Italy, although not every bank will provide this service. Credit and debit cards can be used widely and you will also be able to obtain currency at cash machines (ATM's) in the usual way.
Visa Requirements
You will need a valid passport. Nationals of the EU, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia do not require visas to visit Italy as tourists for up to a three month visit. Nationals of other countries should check the visa requirement with the relevant embassy in their own countries.
You should attend your own doctor and dentist for a check-up. No special vaccinations are required. Before travelling UK residents should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The EHIC is normally valid for three to five years and covers any medical treatment that becomes necessary during your trip, because of either illness or an accident. The card gives access to state-provided medical treatment only, and you'll be treated on the same basis as an 'insured' person living in the country you're visiting. Remember, this might not cover all the things you'd expect to get free of charge from the NHS in the UK. You may have to make a contribution to the cost of your care. You can obtain an EHIC from the Department of Health by phone, online, or at the post office.

Drivers talking on their cellphones now face heftier penalties under a new Maryland law that took effect Tuesday.
Beginning Oct. 1, police are able to pull over drivers and ticket them if they are talking directly into a cellphone or holding it while on speaker. For the last three years, the offense was considered secondary, and police could issue a ticket only if another traffic violation was witnessed.
Using a hands-free device to talk on a cellphone is still allowed.
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans (R) said law enforcement officers are prepared to enforce the change in the law. He said there will be an initial warning phase, where deputies will issue "a lot of warnings, but that will end quickly," and drivers will be faced with paying the fines.
Evans said inattention and distracted driving is "our primary cause for accidents." He said the changes in the law will reduce the number of distractions while driving and, hopefully, will contribute to safer conditions on the road.
"I think if people are paying more attention, it should reduce accidents," he said.
Similarly, 1st Sgt. Shane Bolger, acting commander of the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack, said there are many distractions to drivers on the road, and he hopes this new law will help "cut down" on those.
"I think [the law] is going to reduce the distracted driving incidents we have and collisions directly related to distracted driving," Bolger said. "[Tuesday] was the first day of the law and we had enforcement with the law, and it seemed everyone's compliant with it now. As long as they continue to do so, I think it'll help … contribute to the reduction of crashes in the county."
Fines for a first-time offense are now up to $75, increasing to $125 for a second violation and $175 for a third.
If the violation is determined to have contributed to an accident, the motorist's driver's license will be assessed 3 points.
Anyone caught talking on a cellphone while driving a commercial vehicle can be fined $290.
Texting while driving was already a primary offense in Maryland, as it is in nearly all of the country.
What had amounted to a "slap on the wrist" for getting caught while using a cellphone while driving was not a big enough deterrent, according to AAA and other traffic safety advocates.
"We are pleased that the Maryland General Assembly recognized the importance of strengthening the hand-held cellphone ban, as it will now serve as a real deterrent to motorists and enable police to better enforce the existing law," Mahlon G. Anderson, AAA Mid-Atlantic's managing director, said in a statement. "This measure will help stem the epidemic of distracted drivers in Maryland."
Based on preliminary Maryland motor vehicle crash data for 2012, approximately 58 percent — 52,136 — of the 89,655 total vehicle crashes involved a distracted driver, according to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration's Highway Safety Office. Nearly half — 246 — of the estimated 511 fatalities on Maryland's roads in 2012 were due to a distracted driver.
The Maryland General Assembly last spring also strengthened the state's seat belt law. Now anyone riding in the back seat of a vehicle is required to wear a seat belt; previously, that rule only applied to those 16 and younger. The new law is a secondary offense, but carries a penalty of up to $50, plus court costs.
The fine for failing to secure a child younger than 8 in an appropriate child safety seat increased to $50.
People not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than three out of four people who are ejected during a crash die from their injuries.
"While the rear seat is the safest place to ride in a car, that does not mean passengers should not buckle up. Unbelted back seat passengers are just as vulnerable to injuries or even death in a crash as those in the front seat," Anderson said in the statement.

From the Pitch: With Tori and Sam
Thursday, August 19, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 19, 2010) - ETSU women's soccer players Tori Head (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Samantha Kron (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) will be stopping by throughout the season to provide a weekly blog on life as an ETSU women's soccer player. Here is week one of From the Pitch featuring Tori Head.
August 19, 2010
Soccer season 2010 has finally begun. We started Aug. 5th for preseason. That day included many meetings with a bunch of different people and also it was move in day. As a Sophomore I live in the dorms with the other sophomores and freshmen on my team. The 6th is when the soccer part officially began. We have worked very hard since day one, having multiple sessions a day.
This past week has been a busy week for us. Last Wednesday we practiced in the morning and then got on the bus and headed to Charleston, SC. It was a nice five hour bus ride, not as bad as you would think. Once we got there, we got ready and headed to downtown Charleston. There we were able to hang out, shop, and eat dinner. Everything you would expect out of a girls soccer team. Thursday was game day. We got up and eat breakfast at the hotel. After that we headed to the field for our walk through session. It helps get our legs back under us from the bus ride, and allows us to see and scope out the game field. Once the walk through is complete we headed back to hotel for some down time. We ate our pre-game meal and the next thing we knew it was time to leave for the game. It was GAME TIME, ETSU vs. Charleston Southern. It was hot, very hot. We played in the middle of the day so the heat index was very high. We played through it though. Even though we lost we played well. It was our first organized game and we figured out a lot about our team that day. The next morning we had breakfast and packed our stuff it was time to go home, but before heading back to Johnson City we stopped to have a little fun. We stopped at a water park in Charleston. It was a good thing to be able to rest and just have fun with our teammates.
Then the next thing we knew it was Sunday. GAME DAY! We were finally playing at home. Everyone was very excited to play in front of our home fans. The best part of being at home is the time we get to spend as a team in the locker room. It's our space, a place that belongs to the ETSU Women's soccer team and no one can take that from us. We played a tough Radford team, and came out with a tie. Yet again it was another good learning game. These past two exhibition games have really helped us as a team to see what we need to work on and fix. Our first real game is coming up soon. We play Sunday Aug. 22 against UNC-Asheville.
Until next time,
Tori Head #11

Goals: Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft intended to fly by Jupiter, surviving the intense radiation that surrounds the giant planet and then on a trajectory that would take it out of the Solar System.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft became the first to fly beyond Mars' orbit, through the asteroid belt, and close to Jupiter, blazing a trail for the two Voyager spacecraft that were to follow and conduct more in-depth surveys. Long before and after flying by Jupiter, Pioneer 10 transmitted data on the magnetic fields, energetic particle radiation and dust populations in interplanetary space. As it passed through the Jupiter system, it transmitted hundreds of photos of the planet and its moons, along with measurements of the Jovian atmosphere.
Tracking Pioneer 10 and 11 as they sped away from the sun revealed what came to be called the "Pioneer Anomaly" - the spacecraft traveled about 5,000 km less than expected each year. In 2012, scientists announced the slight, but detectable effect of heat pushing back on the twin spacecraft explains unexpected slowing.

I have used and continue to use the Advanced Therapy Crème, Organics Crème, and Dual Purpose Crème in my practice. I thought I would give this one a try because of the sale price. The smell is much more pronounced than is described and does linger. Additionally, I expected a much more thick consistency much like the Organics crème. I will not purchase this particular crème again.
The creme warms quickly and glides beautifully. My clients love the fragrance, which helps them to relax even more, and feel their skin is wonderfully hydrated and soft afterwards. Works better than oil for clients with extra hair.
I love this cream and so do my clients :) worth a try if you've never used it before.
I loooove the smell and consistancy of the product! It's my favorite cream of all time, except I wish it was pumpable. I got tired of scooping product out of the 1 gallon jug. :-(
I am sensitive to chemical smells. The "fragrance" in this cream smells just like the deodorizer in some cat litter brands. I had a cat for 18 years and have done massage for 14. I really was hoping the best for this product. The cream felt nice though.

By Jeremy Izzio and Dan Telvock
The Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, the city's biggest landlord, is ignoring a City Charter requirement that mandates recycling at apartment buildings and other multi-family housing units.
As a result, roughly 500 tons of recyclable materials end up in a landfill each year, costing the city both money and an opportunity to improve its anemic recycling rate.
There also may be a related out-of-pocket expense to the authority. The authority appears to have engaged a public relations firm to coach officials on how to deal with reporters inquiring about the recycling program. Managers are unwilling to discuss the arrangment, however.
The authority, controlled by Mayor Byron Brown's appointees, manages 4,307 housing units in 27 developments that are home to about 10,000 low-income and elderly residents. Authority management defended the absence of a recycling program by saying it isn't mandated by the federal government, which regulates public housing.
Federal laws don't prohibit recycling and the authority's admissions and occupancy policies require adherence to state and local laws, which would include the city's recycling mandate. The policies also require residents to follow all state and local recycling laws.

Smith completes hat trick; collects another POTW honor
Requires Adobe Flash
Senior guard Mike Smith averaged 25.7 points a game last week.
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2011)
For the third time this season, ETSU senior guard
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
Smith became the first A-Sun player to win the weekly honor three times in a season since Mercer's James Florence accomplished that feat during the 2008-09 campaign. Last week, Smith powered the Buccaneers to a perfect 3-0 record, eclipsing 20 points in each of those victories.
Along the way, Smith twice set new career highs for scoring in a game, netting 27 points in the win over Kennesaw State (1/29) and then posting 28 points in the win over Mercer (1/31). In addition, Smith surpassed the 1,500-point mark in the Bucs' win over USC Upstate (1/25), as the 6-foot-6 guard scored 22 points.
In all, Smith averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last week. He shot an impressive 58 percent from 3-point range, 56 percent from the field, and 91 percent at the foul line in those three wins.
Smith and the Bucs have now won 12 of their last 13 games and stand just one game back of league-leading Belmont in the standings. For more on ETSU men's hoops, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

My double IPA when poured into a glass has a thick foamy head that remains there the entire time I drink it. Is this good or bad? The beer tastes great!

I had this problem with multiple styles of beer when i didn't quite have a handle on carbonation (over carb)
something to think about!
Very hoppy beers often have increased foam and retention. The polyphenols in the hops bind the proteins in the beer to create fantastic foam. It's generally considered a very good thing.

|It was a nice cool morning so I pushed hard, arrived at the top of the rock gully at 11:43, in an hour and 37 min. Reached the saddle at 12:30, staying on the left side of the gully most of the way, and at the summit by 1:00. Total distance RT was 5.3 miles with 4,492 feet of gain. Glad it was dry coming back down, trekking poles were nice! Total time was 6:10 with about 45 min. on top and taking pics.

|Summitted on a great day. Were able to hit the ridge, bypassing most of the snow; used the snow to come down though (it was softer). Dropping from the north summit into the col was steep, and we saw evidence that other parties had rapped down. I guess carrying a rap rope (even for an arm rap) might have been useful. The col is in great shape though for kicking steps up on.

Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2010
|Wow. These logs weren't kidding about the steepness. The downhill was almost harder than the uphill due to the slipperiness of the dry dirt. The talus field was a lot of fun, except where it got small and loose at the top. After the saddle between the south and main peaks (how DO you get up South Baring anyway?), we didn't have good luck staying on the rather-faint-in-places trail and went too far left, then, finding the trail again, lost it again and went too far right. It was a lot easier to follow down from the summit to the saddle. We eventually figured it out and got to the top. Great views, all the clouds down low had burned off, and, after a hot, hot week in Seattle, today the temps were really mild and pleasant.
By the way, anyone know what's with all that scrap lumber around the summit block?

|This trail is steep! One of, if not the steepest trail I've hiked. There was snow in the gully, but no "snow wall" to be seen, just some class 3 rock. Really fun scrambling from the gully to the summit. It took just under 3 hours for the way up (2 stops at streams to refill my water, 1 for a snack), and just under 2 for the way down. My quads were not happy with the steep descent and my trekking poles were heavily relied upon. Great views from the summit though, well worth it! :)

|Went up with crampons and ice axe; I used crampons because I am still new at the snow climbing thing. A couple other guys made it without crampons, but with axes. What is left of the "snow wall" is easily climbed. Berries are still green. The mud is only at the bottom of the first part, and is soon behind you.

|An Awesome End To An Awesome Weekend!
Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2010
|After doing Desolation Peak as a *very long* day-trip the previous day, Gimpilator and I got back home by midnight but decided we had enough energy and enthusiasm to do another peak the following day. Due to our lateness, and with no time to gather other partners or join other trips, we agreed to attempt Mount Baring... a high priority peak for each of us and one which we recently heard had favorable snow conditions. The steep (and sometimes muddy) forested ascent/descent was not fun, but the ridge walk was enjoyable and the snow ascent (and glissade) closer to the peak was awesome. No crampons were needed but an ice axe was essential. The snow conditions were perfect for us. We were the only two people who made the summit that day, and clouds moved in shortly after we made the summit (preventing at least two other people from making it to the summit, due to a possible approaching storm system and potentially bad visibility). Everything worked well for our trek, and for our entire weekend for that matter.
This completed two great peaks in one weekend with approximately 10,000' total elevation gain. Woohoo!

Mission Type: Impact
Launch Vehicle: Atlas-Agena B (no. 8 / Atlas D no. 199 / Agena B no. 6008)
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral, United States, Launch Complex 12
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Spacecraft Mass: 364.69 kg
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) imaging system (six TV cameras)
Spacecraft Power: 200.0 W
Total Cost: Total research, development, launch, and support costs for the Ranger series of spacecraft (Rangers 1 through 9) was approximately $170 million.
Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
This fourth American attempt at lunar impact was the closest success. The spacecraft, the first Block III type vehicle with a suite of six TV cameras, was sterilized to avoid contaminating the lunar surface. The series would also serve as a test bed for future interplanetary spacecraft by deploying systems (such as solar panels) that could be used for more ambitious missions.
The Block III spacecraft carried a 173-kg TV unit (replacing the impact capsule carried on the Block II Ranger spacecraft). The six cameras included two full-scan and four partial-scan cameras. Ranger 6 flew to the Moon successfully and impacted precisely on schedule at 09:24:32 UT on 2 February. Unfortunately, the power supply for the TV camera package had short-circuited three days previously during Atlas booster separation and left the system inoperable. The cameras were to have transmitted high-resolution photos of the lunar approach from 1,448 km to 6.4 km range in support of Project Apollo.
Impact coordinates were 9 degrees, 24' north latitude and 21 degrees, 30' east longitude.
