Spend time talking with the top coaches, players and officials in women's college volleyball and you realize they all wonder about the same things.
What would it take for volleyball to make a bigger leap into sports spectators' consciousness? What steps must be taken to help in that growth?
The overwhelming consensus is that the women's college game should be more popular, in general terms. But that belief alone doesn't make it so.
Women's college volleyball appears to be a great product without an equally great sales pitch or vibrant marketing force. Can it change? Can selling volleyball more vigorously really upgrade its place in the overall sports landscape? Is it a matter of getting the right people to really buy in?
With the Final Four in Kansas City just completed last weekend -- Penn State won its fourth consecutive NCAA championship -- it's a good time to look at the state of women's college volleyball now. And where it might be headed.
"Our sport isn't growing as fast as we want, because we know it's a wonderful sport," Stanford coach John Dunning said. "But when you think of all that's happened in the last 38 years since Title IX passed, this is an explosion. It's not an atomic explosion, but it's continued-growth explosion."
Iowa State coach Christy Johnson-Lynch, who won the 1995 national championship as a player with Nebraska, knows how popular volleyball can be, having experienced it in Lincoln, Neb. She's trying to replicate something like that in Ames, Iowa.
"It starts in your city, your area -- you have to be successful and put a good product out there," Johnson-Lynch said. "We have the challenge of playing in a huge arena, but we've found ways to make it smaller and a better environment for volleyball.
"The next step for us is getting on TV more; when that's happened, it's been awesome for recruiting and visibility."
Ah, yes, television. The change to rally scoring in 2000 made volleyball matches more television-friendly, because it's regulated their length better. Still, football so dominates televised sports in the fall, it's hard for anything else to gain much traction. Then when college basketball tips off in November, the window for volleyball's media exposure gets even smaller.
But couldn't Wednesday -- generally now one of the few nights that live football games aren't televised -- become a volleyball night on outlets such as ESPNU and the Big Ten Network?
The key would be to maximize the best possible matchups on that night, and that should include something volleyball rarely does now: have some marquee non-conference meetings later in the season. A lot of the best teams from the power conferences do play each other, but in August and early September before league competition starts.
Non-conference meetings between strong programs later in the year, when the season has been rolling along for a while, should be attractive to television.
"I think it's a possibility, and I'd be in favor of it," Penn State coach Russ Rose said. "But it would have to be a conference decision to do that. You see those conference 'challenges' in men's and women's basketball. It has to come from the commissioners getting together and saying, 'We have the money to make it happen and the television availability.' "
The Big Ten, which will add volleyball power Nebraska next year, and the Pac-10 are two of the obvious candidates to have teams in showcase non-league matchups later in the season.
"It's wise to pursue that," Dunning said. "Because both conferences have been so good for so long, people want to see them match up.
"And no matter how you look at it, it never hurts you to play teams that are really good. That's what athletes want. Timing is an issue year to year; we know that. But those are things we have to get over."
Reaching out?
Getting the best matches televised nationwide is one thing. It's another to actually expand your viewership.
One of volleyball's paradoxical realities is that it's aided in some ways but hurt in others by the disparity between female and male participation at both the college and high school levels.
There are 328 schools currently competing in Division I women's college volleyball, but only 23 for men. The National Federation of State High School Associations' report for 2009-10 listed 403,985 girls participating in volleyball at 15,382 schools, compared to 50,467 boys at 2,089 schools.
Thus, there are not nearly as many males who have played organized, competitive volleyball at any scholastic level as there are those who've played sports such as football, basketball or baseball. So they have less familiarity with volleyball, especially in terms of understanding it strategically or developing a spectator interest that comes from past or current participation.
The way this can be viewed as a positive, though, in that volleyball -- at least in the United States -- seems to "belong" more to women. So the women's game is rarely compared in an unfavorable light to the men's game, which does happen with women's basketball.
Speaking of which, there is some friction between that sport and volleyball for a few reasons, including a degree of frustration by those in volleyball that women's basketball gets more media attention -- look at Penn State's winning streak of 109 matches in a row vs. UConn's 89 straight games -- and is perceived to have always been a greater promotional priority to the NCAA.
The two sports' respective NCAA tournaments don't conflict (December vs. March/April), and while programs compete for prospective players, those athletes that played both sports in high school tend to weigh their options and choose the sport that fits them best.
So, ideally, more programs should subscribe to the theory of a rising tide lifting all boats: Attention and affirmation given to any women's sport is good for them all.
Johnson-Lynch said that she has a very positive relationship at Iowa State with the women's basketball program and coach Bill Fennelly.
"One of the reasons I came to Iowa State was because they had drawn so well for women's basketball," Johnson-Lynch said. "I thought, 'There's a fan base there that loves women's sports, and there's a chance we could be in on that, too.' "
However, an overall lack of coaching friendships between the two sports could be another reason they don't necessarily often work together as well as they could to their mutual benefit, since both face similar obstacles.
Bracket racket
Women's volleyball and basketball coaches voice similar complaints: that NCAA selection committees don't always help their sports because tournament brackets are not done as well as they should be.
The makeup of the committees has been questioned by coaches in both sports, too, in regard to the depth of knowledge members have. Three on this year's 10-member Division I volleyball committee are former volleyball coaches.
Wisconsin's Terry Gawlick, the outgoing volleyball committee chair, said she thought one of the committee's strengths was that most of the members were in oversight positions for volleyball at their school or conference.
But they are also overseeing a lot of things besides volleyball, including in some cases fund-raising and compliance. So how many volleyball matches -- in person, on television or on-line -- do they really get a chance to watch?
A bracket that seemed as unbalanced as this year's did in volleyball -- even Penn State fans were surprised by how less-competitive their region looked than the others -- makes everyone outside the committee wonder if its members have time throughout the season to keenly evaluate the sport.
Most coaches don't want to go on the record with their committee issues, for fear they'll be "punished" down the road. One prominent coach who asked to stay anonymous said, "During the NCAA tournament is when you're the most fired up to confront it. But it's the hardest time to be critical, because that's when the committee is the most defensive. There's something like a thermometer that measures the frustration we have for bracket problems each year, and the meter's up to here right now.
"That's a sign that there is an issue, but it's also the time they're going to listen the least. Human beings are that way."
Which may explain Gawlick's assertion, "I thought we had less criticism this year than last year."
Volleyball seeds just the top 16 teams, and part of the procedures and principles is to have the fewest number of teams taking flights as possible. Women's basketball seeds all 64 teams and follows an "S" curve in placing them on the bracket that -- for whatever its flaws -- tends to produce four regions that are more balanced than what we saw this year in volleyball.
The problem with "reducing" flights is that there's still no way to avoid having several of them, so the decisions on travel often can appear pretty arbitrary.
And Hawaii, a perennial power, is a consistent travel problem when it comes to the NCAA tournament. It costs a lot to fly teams there for early-round matches, but Hawaii -- where the sport is extremely popular -- often deserves to host.
You could probably guess the final issue coaches have with the bracket.
"The committee has to challenge the value of the RPI," Southern Cal coach Mick Haley said. "You can't use it to weigh teams' value as much as they seemed to this year. It's just one tool to measure teams, and it's not always that accurate.
"I really feel like the bracket problems are not anybody's fault, but we need to be able to make decisions and changes that are good for the sport."
Hit the sand
One change that could be very impactful is the addition of sand volleyball as a sanctioned NCAA sport. It will be effective in Division I in August 2011, with play to begin in the spring of 2012. It's considered by a majority of coaches as a positive development, even if logistics will present some challenges.
"I think it's good for the game to give women more opportunities," Washington coach Jim McLaughlin said. "Does it hinder the indoor game? I don't know yet. I want to focus on the indoor game, although I grew up playing on the beach. We're going to add a beach team, but I won't be able to coach it."
This will take more coordination on everybody's part; schools that start sand programs must decide how to structure the coaching and oversight aspect of them. But optimism seems to prevail.
"I really want to see it go, and we're going to do our best to jump into that world," Dunning said. "I think it will be one of the most impacting things in the history of our sport. The whole sport will get bigger."
The sand game will give women's college volleyball exposure in the spring and early summer, away from the Goliaths of pro/college football and college basketball. At least some of the viewing audience that might develop then should carry over to the indoor season in the fall.
Some programs may have to start from scratch. But, athletic deparments can also use sand courts for injury-rehabbing and condition as well as competition.
"There are a lot of challenges with this for a school like Iowa State," Johnson-Lynch said. "We're trying to decide, 'Do we invest in it? Is that going to be a benefit to us?' We don't have an indoor facility for sand volleyball in Ames, so we have nowhere now to train in the colder months."
Haley doesn't have that problem at USC, of course. But he believes that eventually a lot of schools in colder-weather states will take to the sand game.
"It's going to be its own deal, as people come to fund it," he said. "I don't know that there will be a lot of athletes playing both, other than the exceptional ones, because of wear and tear on their bodies. But it might become really popular, and if it does, it will not just be a West Coast sport."
Future progress?
McLaughlin, who coached the women's team at Kansas State for four years before taking over at Washington in 2001, said the questions are in his head all the time about whether women's college volleyball can really cross into more mainstream popularity.
"I've thought about this my whole career," he said. "We were getting some big crowds at Kansas State, and we have them at Washington. We know we have something valuable."
Indeed, talking to people in volleyball, you won't find much dissent about what they think needs to happen to grow the sport. Television exposure for the best matchups. A consistently balanced tournament bracket from a volleyball-savvy committee. Successful integration of the sand game. Schools' marketing departments and the NCAA itself truly understanding they do have something really entertaining to sell with this sport.
What you do find, though, is that there isn't nearly as much productive communication between the various power structures -- and powerful individuals -- as there should be.
"In any endeavors, when it becomes clear that there are issues, everybody has to get over themselves and not have it be about just them," Dunning said. "And say, 'I love volleyball. I want what's right for my team, but I want volleyball to grow.' We have to let our guard down a little bit and listen more to each other."

Fisher Collection. Scrapbook, 1910-16 | Illinois History and Lincoln Collections
Fisher (first name unknown) was a "progressive farmer" in the vicinity of Roanoke, Ind., during the early twentieth century. Fisher subscribed to a number of farming publications, saving useful articles in this scrapbook. In addition to clippings, Fisher also used the book to record farming expenses.
The scrapbook itself is notable as pages that are not pasted over reveal that the book was the ledger of a cooper and lumber dealer during the 1840s. The location of the enterprise is not discernible, but the surnames of some of the customers suggest California or Texas.
Gail Fisher, of Champaign, Ill., donated the scrapbook to the Library in 1957.

The object of this book is to give the ordinary reader an understanding of human reproduction. The approach is from the comparative side: there are clear and simple presentations of general biologic principles, of human physiology, of the anatomy of plants and animals with especial reference to the reproductive system, and of human development. The point of view, however, and the facts are unnecessarily antiquated for these days of popular science; there are misconceptions as to some fundamental principles, and there are uncalled for outbreaks of sentimentality. These objections dwindle in importance if the first four parts of the book are considered incidental, and if it is realized that in any case the reader who lacks first hand knowledge of living things can obtain only the vaguest ideas concerning them from the printed page. The main topic is well presented, with "sufficient discretion and delicacy" and piety as well. The

On the daily chart price is pressuring the upper BB now as the 10ema is crossing above the 50ema. MACDH 5,20,9 and 12,26,9 are both moving up. Stoch 14,5,1 is moving up. DMI+ is above ADX and moving up. Vol still not remarkable.Assuming price stays above 4.48 today (Aug 11) I see next resistance at 5.13 which was confirmed by the lows of 5.13 on May 29, Jun 4, and the high of Jun 5.
Monday we'll be over $5.00
So does $3.00
5.50... how about 15.50? Just need to be patient... Think LONG term and you'll have a big fat piggy bank.
if it goes back to $15.oo obama will get it. reality is it will be a long time befoire we see any good prices in the financial world. best bet is to sell while you can.
Today is a nice change of pace. Volume light, but the selling has dried up.
Sure but you forgot to mention the reason for that drop was the cut of the dividend... so yeah if they declare a dividend it can go back up like it went down, otherwise there is no reason for it. If I were you I would read the chart as stable meaning the market agrees with this price and has for two weeks. It will stay in this range until news comes good or bad. hope for the prior.

Fire on the Mountain (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
Edward Abbey was a hero to environmentalists and rebels of every stripe. With Fire on the Mountain, this literary giant of the New West gave readers a powerful, moving, and enduring tale that gloriously celebrates the undying spirit of American individualism. This fiftieth anniversary edition, with an introduction by historian Douglas Brinkley, reminds readers of Abbey's powerful conviction that "a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
John Vogelin's land is his life a barren stretch of New Mexican wilderness mercifully bypassed by civilization. Then the government moves in. And suddenly the elderly, mule-stubborn rancher is confronting the combined land-grabbing greed of the county sheriff, the Department of the Interior, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the U.S. Air Force. But a tough old man is like a mountain lion: if you back him into a corner, he'll come out fighting.
About the Author
Edward Abbey spent most of his life in the American Southwest. The author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including the much celebrated "Desert Solitaire", which decried the waste of America's wilderness, Abbey was one of the country's foremost defenders of the natural environment. He died in 1989.
Edward Abbey spent most of his life in the American Southwest. He was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including the celebrated Desert Solitaire, which decried the waste of America s wilderness, and the novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, the title of which is still in use today to describe groups that purposefully sabotage projects and entities that degrade the environment. Abbey was also one of the country s foremost defenders of the natural environment. He died in 1989.
Douglas Brinkley is a professor of history at Rice University, the CNN Presidential Historian, and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and Audubon. The Chicago Tribune has dubbed him America s new past master. His recent Cronkite won the Sperber Prize for Best Book in Journalism and was a Washington Post Notable Book of the Year. The Great Deluge won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. He is a member of the Society of American Historians and the Council on Foreign Relations. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and three children.

In this paper, a performance evaluation of the state-of-the-art H.264/AVC video coding standard is carried out with the aim of determining its feasibility when applied to hyperspectral image compression. Results are obtained based on configuring diverse parameters in the encoder in order to achieve an optimal trade-off between compression ratio, accuracy of unmixing and computation time. In this sense, simulations are developed in order to measure the spectral angles and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), achieving compression ratios up to 0.13 bits per pixel per band (bpppb) for real hyperspectral images. Moreover, in this work it is detected which blocks in the encoder contribute the most to performance improvements of the compression task for the particular case of this type of images, and which ones are not relevant at all and hence could be removed. This conclusion yields to reduce the future design complexities of potential low-power/real-time hyperspectral encoders based on H.264/AVC for remote sensing applications.

Missing Glendale boy found safe near home
PHOENIX — A Glendale boy who had been reported missing overnight, was found safe, not far from home.
Police found Gabriel Payan, 12, around lunchtime Monday. He hadn't been seen since 8 p.m. Sunday. After searching their home at home near 61st Avenue and Greenway Road for him, his parents called police three hours later.
The family told police that the boy has a history of hiding from them for hours at a time and that he'd been upset after being disciplined.

Resolved Question:
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 14 months. Two days ago he told me he cheated on me twice. He said the first time was a couple months after we started dating; he was drunk and madeout with a girl. The second time was a couple months after that. He was at a party and he got drunk and then had sex with a girl there. He had a bad drinking issue (DUI and was drinking every chance he got). It's been a few months since he got back from rehab for drinking. He's so sweet and thoughtful and everything a girl wnats in a guy. I totally trusted him and never ever thought he would cheat on me. He says he loves me and he will do anything to keep me in his life and that he can't live without me and that he hates himself and that no one should ever make me feel this way. He also says it was the biggest mistake of his life and he hates knowing how much he hurt me and he doesn't want me to go and he'll do whatever it takes. I don't know what to do or if he's truly sorry or if he really loves me.

Hello and thank you for bringing your concerns to Just Answer...and I truly feel very much for you 'both' at this time as can only imagine just how much pain and hurt you are going through right now with this and feelings of distrust, not easy to say the very' least for you..
I have read your email very intently' and suspected that your boyfriend had a drinking problem ..and was also very' relieved at the same time that he took positive' action and realized the same thing..Sadly many who do have a drinking problem tend to be in denial and as a direct result end up screwing their own lives up and others with it..
Alcohol and excees alcohol can have such a negative impact upon peoples lives that is if they let it.'
I like you are at least thankful that your boyfriend realized the same thing..that he finally realized the pain and hurt that he caused you during his drinking binges with other girls..Not only this but the pain and hurt he has also bought upon himself as a result..
It certainly sounds as though since back from rehab that he has realized fully and completely the damage of his actions..This is good because this is what rehab also teaches patients..
Naturally you distrust him after having these affairs ..and the intimacy he shared with these other girls..
This would not be an easy thing to take on board in fact darn hard and very painful because as a result your heart is very badly bruised and your feelings of distrust very understandable..
Though I just felt I needed to point out two proposing factors that seemed to stand out for me in your email..The first being, that it was
who told you that he has cheated on you..this suggests to me that at this point he was most likley calling out/reaching out for help...with the realization that he truly loved you and what you had and that he felt compelled to honesty ( even though at this late stage where he didn't have too )..
The second being that he become proactive and took the necessary steps to seek help with his alcohol issues..This also suggested to me that he not only wanted to start afresh with his own life and be true to himself but also he felt that he owed it to you and your relationship...
I believe that he is very evident in his feelings for you..even though he was blinded before he can see his way through without the use of alcohol..This is all good..
Though, the foundation of trust in your relationship have now been badly shaken..and if you decide that you want to move forewards with this boy in your life ..it will take time for you to build up that same trust and to forgive him from your heart..
Time and only time will tell and if he starts to resort back to the use of alcohol then I would think again very carefully of your own well being and safety....
I truly do hope that this has helped at least point you in the right direction ..watch closely and most of all please do take very good care of 'self' too right now..because you are important too and are worthy of the best that life has to offer..
Do please forgive this late response as it has much to do with world time difference I'm afraid and what expert is next available online to answer...
Please 'accept' this if it has proved benefical to you as it also contributes much' by way of keeping our service going for you and others alike in the future...

Category 4 tropical cyclone Ita is closing in on far north Queensland, packing potentially destructive winds as locals "prepare for the worst". Nine News
"We anticipate it starting to move west soon," forecaster Lauren Murphy said.
"At the moment it's near-stationary."
Winds are expected to increase in far north Queensland from Wednesday night as Ita tracks towards the coast, north of Cooktown.
Before forming into cyclone Ita, the tropical depression led to 21 deaths in the Solomon Islands last week.
Heavy rain and a flood in Honiara swept away entire communities, bringing down bridges and inundating the downtown area.

Overall Experience:
Overall, I have had a great first year on this campus. Not only am I a part of a rigorous and unique program, but I have met amazing people through classes and extracurricular activities who have made this year a wonderful experience.
Overall Experience:
The Honors Tutorial College provides great connection with faculty and alumni that make finding opportunities during undergrad and after graduation easier. Professors provide their support and guidance throughout every process undertaken at the university, and alumni provide this support after you leave the campus for future endeavors. The Honors Tutorial College stays with you for life.
Health & Safety:
My tumultuous first year on the campus has led me to conclude that sexual assault is an issue that needs to be taken more seriously on this campus, as well as every campus in the country. Ohio University was in an odd place concerning sexual assault due to the closing of the Ohio University Survivor Advocacy Program, which provided confidential services to victims of sexual assault. The only confidential service offered on campus was the Counseling and Psychological Services, and it was already overbooked throughout the year. Not only should more preventative steps be taken on this campus concerning sexual assault, but more services should be offered to those who are survivors of sexual assault.
Campus Housing:
Overall, my experience living in a dorm was good, mostly due to the people living there. I loved my dorm's community, and I met most of my friends there. Although the room was small, I was placed with a cooperative roommate, and we utilized our space well. We did have a mold problem right before winter break, but East Green residence life was prompt in fixing the problem. Picking a dorm both years would have been easier if the instructions for choosing a dorm were communicated better to students.
Greek Life:
I am not a part of Greek life on campus, but I have a few friends who are. It can be pretty difficult to get in, specifically if it is an academic fraternity. I know many people who enjoy the support and connections they get from joining a fraternity or sorority. However, I find that their parties can get extremely rowdy and potentially dangerous, so I try to avoid them.
I am not into sports at this university, but I do enjoy Ping, which is the fitness center for all students on campus. They have great options for a variety of workouts, whether they be individual or group activities. All facilities and classes offered are free-of-charge to students, which is wonderful.
Overall Experience:
Ohio University is a wonderful fit for me because of the Honors Tutorial College. Through this school at Ohio University I have found a high-quality education, boundless resources, and amazing support from faculty, students, and alumni. The curriculum of this program is nearly a perfect fit for my learning style, and I am unbelievably lucky to have found a program like this at a university close to home.
Overall Experience:
Thus far, I have loved every single class I've taken. The material, though vigorous, is very interesting. I never have any trouble diving into the work that I have. The professors are also all very supportive and eager to help anyone that has trouble.
Overall Experience:
I think many of the programs offered will get most people jobs. But, if you chose a major that has a small job outlook don't complain when you cant find a job.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe at all times at OU
Campus Housing:
A lot of the new dorms are very nice, but there are too many outdated dorms. Also the sophomore lottery system is very unfair. I had a second day pick, but barely had any choices left when I went to choose.
Greek Life:
I don't care much for Greek life. It's not popular at OU.
I wish we were more of a sports school, but most of the time people only go to the games for free food.
Overall Experience:
It is the best decision I have ever made. I don't regret coming to OU at all.
Party Scene:
Most party only on weekends and always several avl. Fests are 24 hr parties. Famous for Halloween
Party Scene:
If you wanted to you could find some kind of party any night or someone to hang out with at a bar. Most students limit partying to weekends. The fests are weekend long 24 hr parties
Many ethnicities and religions are visible on campus
Drug Safety:
Alcohol, Weed and study drugs are easy to get
Overall Experience:
Its a good cultural and educational match for me. There could be a wider variety of accommodations available for students with learning disabilities and better financial aid for out of state students. Student Health Services sucks. Prof are good and you will graduate with an above average education in your major.
Campus Housing:
Outside of dorms are beautiful. Well disbursed all over campus. Good variety of room types but they still look like your average dorm inside. There are several dining hall locations, some even in dorms, so you don't have to go far for meals.
Wide variety of club and intra-mural sports as well as pick up games available at Ping Center
Health & Safety:
Students are made aware of problems when they exist and local law enforcement is very involved
Overall Experience:
Faculty cars for the most part, students are serious but still have fun, lots of help available
I think certain sports have big student involvement
Overall Experience:
it's been a good experience so far everyone has been extremely nice and helpful

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The majority of OU students can never envision themselves going to any other school but Ohio University. Whether it's the unique atmosphere, great classes, people they've met, or a combination of several factors, Bobcats are passionate about their school and feel confident about the choice they made. Once they graduate, it's inevitable they will return more than once to recapture the feeling of strolling along Court Street and hanging out with great friends over a beer or game of pool.
Though students may gripe over Friday afternoon classes, strict resident assistants, or how they can't seem to get any work done because they live above a bar, students are still happy to be there and know that the good times will greatly outnumber the bad. It's safe to say that OU is an excellent choice because it doesn't just offer a first-rate education, but also provides students with the necessary life skills needed to survive out in the real world. While not everyone may leave OU 100 percent satisfied with their college experience, most graduate from the University confident and ready for what lies ahead of them and also a little sad to be saying goodbye to some of the best times of their lives. What's most important about college is you make the most of wherever you choose to go. Thankfully, OU gives each individual many opportunities and amenities to enjoy this special phase of their lives.
