Updated Statement on UK Restrictions for Shipping Ink and Toner Cartridges
Service Update
Effective immediately, the UK Department for Transport has updated the restriction on shipping ink and toner cartridges.
UPS customers will be impacted in the following way:
Any printing equipment (such as printers, fax machines, copiers) containing ink or toner cartridges heavier than 500g is not permitted for carriage by air into and from the UK.
Ink or toner cartridges that are not physically contained inside printing equipment will now be accepted for air transport.
Where shipments by air are not permitted, we offer a reliable and economic ground transportation alternative via UPS Standard for shipments between the UK and other EU locations.
It is imperative that customers shipping ink or toner cartridges, or printing equipment containing ink and toner cartridges, to any destination clearly indicate the package contents on the shipping documents regardless of the service level used.
UPS operates in full compliance with the heightened air cargo security measures of the UK government. Our operational processes will be reviewed and adjusted where necessary.
As always, the status of packages in the UPS system can be viewed using our online tracking tool at

All right, Irwin, I will tell you an aussie national secret, but you can't tell anyone. We ALWAYS have pickled beets in hamburgers, along with a slice of pineapple, fried egg, bacon, fried onion, lettuce, slice of raw tomato, tomato sauce (ketchup), melted cheese, hamburger meat, all on a toasted bun. We call this "hamburger with the lot". Lone
Hey Irwin , You are right ; they are a treat ! However --- I have known several people who sheepishly admit that the following day after consuming beets , they became convinced that they were bleeding internally . That sure is a powerfully strong natural dye found in them . Burl
Nettie,No we do not include vegemite in the Hamburger With The Lot. It is basically a staple food of take away and fish and chip shops. I'm thinking it may be more up your alley. I have come to the conclusion that vegemite is wasted on you :) http://www.endlesssimmer.com/2011/01/25/top-10-foods-only-australia-could-have-invented/Irwin, what is your recipe for pickling the beets?Lone

Burke Named To The ABCA All-Region Team
AMHERST, MA - Iona College baseball graduate IF/OF Chris Burke has been selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association Northeast Region First Team.
Burke was named the 2012 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference player of the year on May 23. Burke contended for both overall and conference games triple crown this season hitting .351 with 11 home runs and 50 RBI in 53 games played and .409 with five home runs and 26 RBI in 23 MAAC contests. Overall, he finished fourth in hitting, second in RBI and second in home runs among MAAC performers. His 72 hits, 44 runs scored, 20 doubles, 127 total bases led the league while his .620 slugging percentage was second and 23 stolen bases ranked fourth.
In MAAC contests, Burke led the league in hitting by 34 points, and finished second in home runs and RBI. His 38 hits (five more than Rider's Adam Wayman), 10 doubles, 63 total bases, and .677 slugging percentage (90 points higher than Niagara's Ryan McCauley) were all conference bests.
In the Iona single season record book this year, Burke's performance ranked second in hits and at bats, third in games played, fourth in RBI, fifth in doubles, seventh in stolen bases, ninth in home runs, and 14th in runs scored.
Burke completed a remarkable career in the Top 10 in virtually every offensive category. He is Iona's all-time leading hits man (226) and ranks second in games played (188), at bats (689), runs batted in (138), and stolen bases (52). Burke is third in doubles (47) and home runs (31), fourth in runs scored (137), ninth in slugging percentage (.540) and 10th in bases on balls (73). His .328 career batting average ranks 14th in school history.
Burke was recently selected by the San Diego Padres as the 555th pick in the 18th round of the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, and is currently playing for the Eugene Emeralds, the Padres' Short-Season Class A Affiliate in the Northwest League.

Can you help?
I have been out of teaching for 11 years but have an interview on Wed at an FE college. One of the interview tasks is: you will be given 1 hour to write a 20 hour scheme of work from a given syllabus. How can I prepare for this? What sort of thing will be expected? (Struggling to remember much of what is learnt at what levels...)

Re: Southern Cross 31?
SA / D on a stock rig SC31 is 13.98 many have the Tall Rig and or Cutter Rig so they are different but even on the short rig no way its as low as 12.55. Cored hull is no worry as both inner and outer fibreglass each are often as thick as some non cored hulls are. Core makes them less "sweaty" inside as well when things get cold outside. I regularly beat the West Sail 31 in our yacht club and while no heavy cruiser points well on a beam reach they are quite quick.
|I have owned a factory-finished 1980 Southern Cross 31 for 11 years, doing the usual coastal New England sailing things. Sundry thoughts: Like every boat, she is a collection of compromises, but fairly effective ones in my view. She is almost ridiculously over-engineered - you may not get there fast, but you are going to get there. The rig, in particular, is comically massive. Though I love the boat, there's no doubt she is a pig in close quarters. Backing down, you are just along for the ride and have little directional control. On the other hand, the boat sails delightfully in heavy weather, and, with a little tweaking, will beat hands-off better than I can sail her. She pops over following seas like a cork. New sails, particularly a nice full-batten main with generous roach, have made light-air performance reasonable. Stowage is quite limited. Some have reported cracking of the welds in the pintle/gudgeon assemblies; I've inspected mine in detail and noticed no problem. Compression post is fine, and I have not heard of problems with it. I had to overhaul the engine and thought at first that pulling the engine from the tight compartment was going to be impossible, but suspending the engine from a horizontal pipe levered with a chain fall worked fine. But getting to the stuffing box requires gymnastics - if I gain one more ounce I will not fit in the engine compartment. Water stowage is limited (45 gallons). The largest holding tank I could figure out how to install was 6 gallons; just a toy, really. I'm seriously considering installing an Airhead to prevent being forced out of anchorages to dump sewage (I just refuse to violate those laws). Since these are old boats, the majority currently on the market are probably neglected wrecks, but a good one is a wonderful boat, in my view.
|There was water intrusion around one of my thru-hull bolts. The airex was a little soft for about 1/8 inch, then looked fine. There was no evidence of water migration beyond that first 1/8th inch. It is a very hard material. Not what you would think of as foam really. It was nearly impossible to remove...i snapped several allen bits with my drill trying to scrape out a 1" area around the thu-hull holes! There also seems to be a lot less condensation inside the boat and it really mutes outside noises. Compared to the hull on my Pearson 26, it seems like a bank vault When you come crashing over waves beating into the wind, it doesn't pound at all!!!!
Are J Boats (the 34C or 35C) airex core or balsa?
Nothing, unlike less expensive foams normally used on power boats and airex is a cross-linked closed cell foam so the water stays pretty much within that localized area where it got access. There is a slight exception to that in areas with a large number of freeze thaw cycles, where the melting and refreezing water can cause a delamination between the foam and the skin. Unlike Balsa this is a pretty easy repair accomplished by drilling holes, draining the area, drying it out and injecting with resin.
The nice thing about airex is that it has a little bit of memory which greatly increases impact resistance over a non-cored hull.
|sc 31- if water gets into the airex core, what happens?
The SC31 has 4, 1/4 inch,19 strand shrouds on either side, a split backstay, the headstay and the inner stay for the staysail. Of all of the deck stepped masts i have seen it has by far the most support. The mast itself is not very tall (~45 ft off the water) and it is very rugged. If i loose a wire for some reason it might stand a chance if i can get the sails down. If for some reason it goes overboard I have 2 hacksaws and a wirecutter onboard to cut it away.
I feel the same way as Jeff, the last thing i would want was a 200 lb 20ft peice of aluminum swinging around poking holes in my boat. If it's going over all is better than nothing!
On the other hand, I think the bottom of my compression post is soft. It is glassed to the keel so it is hard to see but there is definate compression going on...like the bathroom door won't shut in heavy wind! I think I am going to take the mast back off this winter and jack up the cabin top, then cut out the lower section of the compression post and replace it with either metal stock or a fixed jack. Any ideas? All's good though, it isn't getting much worse so i think i can sail out the season. I was out yesterday with a reef in the main and the staysail in 20-25knts! I brought a powerboater friend who had NEVER sailed. He was hooked after the first upwind tack
This is from another venue but it reflects some of the thinking on keel vs deck stepped masts:
I personally strongly prefer a deck-stepped mast over a keel stepped mast but once again this is an area where opinions can differ widely. There is no right answer here. There is a contingent that thinks that the only proper way to step a mast is on the keel. There is a logic to that but it is a logic that can be engineered around and which comes out of a historical context that is less relevant with modern materials.
To start with the basics, the base of a mast has a vertical and horizontal thrust to it that tries to push it down through the bottom of the boat and also sideward off of the mast step. In normal conditions the down load is several times greater than the side load. Beyond the loads imparted to the boat, there is also the issue of the loads that happen internally in a mast. When you look at the structure of a mast it is really a truss standing on end but it does not completely act as truss because the components of a truss are not supposed to have bending loads on them. Ideally the loads in the mast are primarily axial (acting along the length of the mast) rather than in bending (acting perpendicular to the long axis of the mast). Of course masts do have fairly large bending loads imparted into them. The two most often cited reasons for keel stepped masts being considered stronger is the way that the bending loads (moments) are distributed within the mast itself and the way that the mast imparts its loads into the boat.
If the goal of designing a mast is to reduce bending moments within a mast, the greater the number of panels (segments between shrouds and other supports) the smaller the moments tend to be. In the days when single spreader rigs were most common a keel-stepped mast added one extra panel, the segment between the mast partners at the deck and the keel. This has become less significant as bigger boats have routinely gone to multiple spreader rigs and moment connections at the deck mounted mast steps.
In terms of the way that the mast imparts its loads into the boat, masts are generally located in the area of the cabin trunk and because of the shape of the cabin (i.e. the deck folds up at the cabin side and horizontal again at the coach roof) this area, if not engineered for side loads is more prone to lateral flexing than would be the keel. One idea behind a keel-stepped mast being stronger is that with a keel stepped the mast is not supposed loads are put loads into the deck.
In reality, this ideal is rarely accomplished for a number of reasons. First of all, if the mast is not tied to the deck or the deck tied to the keel near the mast, either with a tie rod or a tie from the mast to the deck and a connection from the mast to the keel, the downward force of the mast working in opposition to the upward loads of the shrouds can pull the hull together like a bow and arrow lifting the deck and separating the joint between bulkheads and the deck. You sometimes see this type of separated bulkheads on inexpensive or early fiberglass boats with keel stepped masts.
Not only do keel stepped masts impart vertical loads into the deck (through the ties mentioned above) but they also typically end up imparting side loads as well (if they must if they are going to reduce the moments in the mast as mentioned above). This somewhat reduces the structural advantages of a keel-stepped mast to next to zero assuming that a deck-stepped mast is properly engineered, and of course that is a moderately big if!
There are several things that I consider critical to engineering a deck stepped mast properly. Primary is having a jack post below the mast. A jack post is a vertical member that carries the vertical loads of the mast to the keel. My preference is to have an aluminum jack post rather than a wooden one but a wooden post can work as well. The other issue is the distribution of the side loads. Ideally there should be a bulkhead or ring frame adjacent to the mast that can take the side loads and distribute them into the hull. Done right these are obviously more complex to do than simply having a fat spot on the keel for the mast step to land on.
My objections to keel stepped masts are to the mostly practical. Keel stepped masts mean that there is always water in the bilge. This water comes in at halyard boxes and other openings in the mast and there is nothing that you can do will stop that. Second, it is way harder to step and unstep a keel-stepped mast making the boat more subject to damage in the process.
Beyond that if you loose a mast (I have lost two in my life) it is better in my opinion to loose a deck stepped mast because a keel-stepped mast is more likely to damage the deck when it fails and a deck-stepped mast is easier to clear away. The keel stepped mast advocates point out that you are more likely to end up with a bigger stump after the mast fails. I am not sure that that is the case if you are able to tow the rig as a drougue until things quiet down enough to rig a jury rig. I am not sure what you do when the boat is being beaten to death by the upper portion of a keel stepped mast that has buckled 20 feet off the deck at the spreaders. .
My preferred set up is a deck stepped mast that has a welded flange on its bottom that is through bolted through the deck into the top flange of a structural aluminum jack post in such a way that there is a moment connection and yet the mast stub can be unbolted and jetisonned if it risked sinking the boat. My current boat has a keel stepped mast. It is my intent to pull this mast and have it modified to that arrangement if I ever go intend offshore with her.
Like I said, the pros and cons are open to debate, and I am not claiming that one approach is markedly superior to the other. But the corollary to your argument above is that there have been instances where keel stepped masts have torn massive, gaping holes in the coachroof during a rollover. And the smaller the boat, the more susceptible to rollovers in extreme conditions. All things considered, I'd rather have a well-designed deck-stepped mast in this size range. I think the primary reason you see some keel stepped masts in this size range is that it is simply cheaper to build them that way.
JeffH - thanks for the detail on the capsize figures.. am aware that it doesnt deal with weight placement, or depth of ballast.. but what else is there?? Im an engineer and want just the facts .. not anecdotal data! sigh
JohnR - with respect to KS masts, I think its my conservative sailing nature that likes that one more level of safety. A KSM provides that. Sure a deck stepped can be strung up tight and strong, but a failure of any one of those shrouds or stays and your in deep doo doo.. the same failure with a KSM, presents a problem, but having that solid member bolted to the keel is at least reassuring, if not more..
and there are some smaller bluewaterish boats that go with them.. Bayfield 29, Tarton 30, Bristol 29.9, so there must be some design factors that play into it.. but your right - been chatting with an SC31 owner and he said for sure to look hard at the stepping plate area and the base of the compression post for deterioration..
Thanks for all the insight..

Keep It With You No Matter Where You Go!
Don't Let A Surprise Storm Ruin Your Clothes Or Gadgets!
One-Size Fits All, Hooded, And 100% Reusable!
"10% Chance of Rain"...
You've heard it SO many times. "Chance of rain is 'blah blah blah'"
What it really boils down to is "We don't have a clue!"
If you stay inside all day, it never ends up dripping a single drop! But when you finally decide to go outside, all of a sudden you're getting flash flood warnings and your neighbor's car is drifting away like a sailboat!
Umbrellas are nice, but they're WAY too bulky for everyday! And wherever you keep it stored is probably the LEAST convenient place for it to be when you finally need it!
Wouldn't you like to have a soak-proof solution you can keep with you, in your car, or anywhere else?
The answer is obvious - You need a PONCHO!
Of course!
Everyone's seen or used a poncho by now! They're one of the most classic solutions to sudden (or even expected!) storms and rain! It's just common sense!
Remember - the simple solution is usually the best!
We've got the PERFECT one at a CRAZY price!
Water-Proof Vinyl Construction - 100% Reusable!
The WORST part of most dime-a-dozen ponchos is that once you've worn it... you have to throw it out! Talk about money down the drain! And what happens when the rain stops, you throw it out, then the rain starts up again?! Now you're right back at square one!
Of course, being reusable doesn't solve all the problems either... who wants to carry a soaking wet poncho around with them? That's where part 2 comes into play: the travel pouch!
Ooooooh yeah! This comes with its own convenient travel pouch that lets you keep it safely stored when you aren't using it, but readily available when those clouds starts pouring down on you!
Keep Dry, Keep Prepared, Keep Your Wallet Loaded!
At 80" long, this thing is DEFINITELY big enough for anyone to use! And at $9.97 even your WALLET is going to love this deal!
You get TWO ponchos for the price of ONE? Well, that's a gale-force deal!

May 7, 2013
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) held its annual Athletic Awards Ceremony on May 6, 2013, naming Anggie Ramirez from women's bowling and Andre Walsh from track & field, the female and male Athletes of the Year. UMES' Associate Director of Athletics for External Affairs, G. Stan Bradley was selected as the Hawk of the Year.
The banquet, held on a Monday evening in the Student Services Center Ballroom on the UMES campus, was a packed house, attended by all 15 sponsored programs as well as Cheerleaders, the Diamonds Dance Team, alumni, administrators, parents and friends. Brandon Schott (Warren, Pa.) from baseball provided a welcome to the crowd while they also heard remarks from President Dr. Juliette B. Bell.
Each team presented awards to their Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, and Most Improved Player or a Coach's Award. Athletics also recognized its' scholar-athletes who have grade point averages of 3.0 and above. The administration went on to also thank individuals for service to the department, ranging from volunteers, student-workers, graduate assistants, interns and part-time staffers.
The highlight of the evening however is the Director's Awards. Each year, Athletics announces recipients of some special awards that are either chosen by or presented by Director of Athletics Keith Davidson.
During those awards, Bradley received the Department's highest honor for his work. A 12-year employee in the Division of Athletics, Bradley has been critical over the past several years in developing relationships with the community and overseeing the external affairs office which is responsible for the department's media and public relations, social media, publications, website, facilities, marketing and fundraising.
"Stan, you have been Hawk of the Year before, but this is just the first time we have publicly recognized you," said Davidson. "You are the first to volunteer or offer up an idea, you work hard and always find a way to get the job done," he added. Bradley would go on to thank his staff, the administration and the coaches who "make it easy for [him] to do [his] job."
The top athletic honors went to two individuals. The men's winner, for the second-straight year, was Andre Walsh (St. Catherine, Jamaica) from men's track & field. Walsh was named a second-team All-America selection earlier this season by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). It is his second straight year with that honor. He ran in the 2013 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, competing in the 200-meter dash. Walsh owns school records in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 60-meter and as part of relay teams.
On the women's side, the award went to Anggie Ramirez (Bogota, Colombia) from women's bowling. Ramirez earned a first-team All-America honor from the National Tenpins Coaches Association (NTCA) and was named a runner-up to the College Bowler of the Year by the International Bowling Media Association (IBMA). She was MEAC Bowler of the Year and a First-Team All-Conference selection. Ramirez guided her Hawks to a 2013 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championship and a United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Collegiate National Championship this season. The senior was an All-Tournament Team selection in both events. She finished her career with four All-American nods and four National Championships on her resume.
This is the fourth straight year a bowler has won the award.
Walsh and Ramirez, as well as bowlers T'nia Falbo (Greensburg, Pa.), Mariana Alvarado (Leon, Mexico) and Kristie Lopez (Ponce, Puerto Rico) were also recognized as being All-Americans this season.
Other Director's Awards went to Ishaq Pitt (Brooklyn, N.Y.) from men's basketball and Megan Buja (Rockford, Ill.) from women's bowling who were named Scholar-Athletes of the Year for their grade point average and academic honors, all while staring for their respective sport. Buja was also recognized for having won the NCAA Elite 89 Award for the highest GPA in her sport.
The men's golf team and the women's bowling team also received the Team of Scholars Award for having the highest GPA as a team among their respective gender programs. They both repeated the award from the previous season.
Jeffrey Fleetwood (Delmar, Del.) from baseball and Falbo from women's bowling earned the Josten's Award for Sportsmanship, given to a male and female recipient who are good teammates, are successful academically, participate in community service and are shining examples for their team, the department of athletics and the University.
UMES also presented women's bowling, women's volleyball and Walsh with watches for making their sport's receptive NCAA Championship. Softball earned the Quantum Leap award, presented to a program making the biggest turnaround from one season to the next.
"We had a great evening," said Davidson during his closing remarks. "I tell my coaches all the time," Davidson said, "Success is not a destination, but a journey, it's not where we are going but how we get there. We take the high road; we teach our student-athletes lessons for life. We teach them how to be Hawks, Hawks for Life."

Ani DiFranco
DiFranco was born in Buffalo, New York, on September 23, 1970. She began her career at the age of nine, when her guitar teacher helped her land her first gig -- performing a set of Beatles covers -- at an area coffeehouse. Befriended by the likes of Suzanne Vega and Michelle Shocked, she later gave up music to study ballet, but at the age of 14 returned to the guitar and began composing her first songs. A year later, alienated from her crumbling family structure, she left home, living with friends while making the rounds of the Buffalo folk club circuit.
DiFranco had written over 100 original songs by the age of 19, and after briefly studying art, she relocated to New York City to further her musical aspirations; besieged by requests from fans for tapes of her performances, she recorded a demo and pressed 500 copies of a self-titled cassette to sell at shows. The tape -- a Spartan acoustic folk collection of intensely personal essays on failed relationships and gender inequities -- quickly sold out, and in 1990 DiFranco founded Righteous Babe to better distribute her recordings, which were slowly spreading across the country on the strength of a substantial word-of-mouth following.
In 1991, after issuing the assured Not So Soft, DiFranco hit the road alone, touring the nation in her Volkswagen and playing gigs wherever she could find them. Her cult blossomed, and her distinct image -- shaved head, tattoos, and body piercings -- soon became the de rigueur look for her fans as well. As albums like 1992's Imperfectly and 1993's Puddle Dive expanded her musical ambitions as well as her following, DiFranco became the subject of considerable major-label interest, yet she steadfastly rejected all offers as Righteous Babe grew to become a highly viable business venture.
DiFranco continued playing over 200 dates a year, and soon even the mainstream media took notice of her cottage-industry music; after 1994's masterful Out of Range, she exploded with the following year's Not a Pretty Girl, which garnered notice from outlets ranging from CNN to The New York Times. A sprawling, eclectic work detailing a heated love affair with a man (much to the chagrin of her lesbian followers), 1996's Dilate even debuted in the Top 100 of the Billboard charts, a stunning achievement for an independent release. The live set Living in Clip followed in 1997.
Early in 1998, DiFranco released the studio effort Little Plastic Castle; her most musically diverse release yet, it also was her highest-charting album to date, and set the stage for the release of Up Up Up Up Up Up the following year. Another new LP, To the Teeth, appeared in 1999 as well, and in mid-2000 came the release of the odds-and-ends compilation Swing Set. Revelling: Reckoning appeared in spring 2001. In 2002, DiFranco trudged on; a road warrior at heart, she issued the double-disc So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter in September, her first live album since 1997's Living in Clip. The So Much Shouting set captured handpicked favorites by DiFranco and three previously unreleased songs.
The following year's Evolve added funk, jazz, and Latin elements to the mix, while 2004's Educated Guess was performed completely by DiFranco. Knuckle Down, co-produced by Joe Henry, arrived in 2005. The eighth disc in her official bootleg series, Carnegie Hall (recorded live on April 2, 2002), was released in the spring of 2006, and then -- shortly after the singer announced she was pregnant -- her studio album Reprieve arrived that same August. DiFranco gave birth to her daughter in January 2007 and released another official bootleg, Hamburg, Germany, in 2008. Red Letter Year appeared later in 2008, featuring songs inspired by the impending presidential race, DiFranco's baby daughter, and her partner/producer Mike Napolitano. 2012's Which Side Are You On?, the 16th studio album from the alternative folk legend, featured 12 new songs, including the rousing title cut, which was a reworking of a song made popular by Pete Seeger, who lent his distinctive voice and banjo to DiFranco's rendition. In 2014 she returned to her home studio in the New Orleans' Bywater neighborhood to record, produce, and mix sessions for her follow-up, Allergic to Water. Featuring backing from her touring band and guests Jenny Scheinman and Ivan Neville, the set was issued in November. ~ Jason Ankeny

text: Just want to provide a follow up to the criticism of Amir not being able to stay on the court due to foul trouble. This year, AJ has 13 games with over 30 minutes played and only 4 games with less than 15 minutes. He has 27 double digit scoring performances with 8 double doubles. 13 multi block games and 24 games with at least one steal. For comparison: Rodney Stuckey has 13 games with over 35 minutes played and 4 games with less than 15 minutes. He has 3 double doubles. And our bigs? Player: >30 min played/ dubdubs CV: 8/ 4 GM: 12/ 5 CW: 2/ 1 JM: 2/ 0 BW: 4/ 1 In fact, no Pistons big man (including Villanueva) has logged as many minutes as Amir this year. Amir is only 23 total minutes behind Stuckey, which would put him in a tie for 3rd on the Pistons this year. No Piston big man has as many double doubles. And here's the gross comparison between Monroe and Amir: Playa: Pts/ Reb/ Ast/ Stl/ Blk/ FG% GMon: 315/ 289/ 38/ 47/ 19/ .512 AmirJ: 489/ 316/ 55/ 35/ 51/ .586 Monroe is having a very nice year, but Amir is having an even better one. He's 3rd in FG% in the league. He's even out-assisting Monroe. We have a very bad collection of bigs when Amir Johnson is dwarfing them all in almost every statistical category. It took me a little while to form an opinion on Monroe, but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing for a rookie. He and Jerebko should provide some value to us for the next few years, but we also need a real big man who is athletic and has offensive skills. Boozer, Randolph, etc. We can't keep up this guard buffoonery.

Former Drake Rower Smith To Represent USA At World Championships
WEST WINDSOR, N.J. - Former Drake rower Chelsea Smith qualified for the 2012 World Rowing Senior and Junior Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria that will take place August 14-19. Smith who rowed for Drake from 2006-10 was a member of the lightweight quad boat that won at the US Non-Olympic Senior World Championship Trials this past week on Lake Mercer in New Jersey.
"We are very proud of Chelsea for qualifying in the World Championships," Drake head coach Charlie DiSilvestro said. "I know her ultimate goal was to make the Olympic team but even though she just missed that goal she trained hard and stayed focused to beat some great athletes to go to Bulgaria. She has always wanted to race in Europe and I believe this will help her going forward in her goal to make the next Olympics (2016)."
Smith narrowly missed qualifying for the 2012 Olympics in a doubles boat by just four seconds in April at the US Olympic Trials in Chula Vista, Calif. She won a pair of bronze medals this past October at the XVI Pan American Games in Ciudad Guzman, Mexico.
"It was a very competitive race with great teams and athletes," Smith said. "Even though I didn't make the Olympics this year it is still exciting to be racing in Europe for a highly coveted World Championship. Those of us that missed out on the Olympics came together and put a four-person team together and this will be my first race outside of US, Canada and Mexico."
Smith is from Edina, Minn.

Zero Tolerance Drug Policies
Most high schools in the United States address student drug use with a zero tolerance drug policy that may include expulsion, suspension and exclusion from extracurricular activities. Proponents of these zero tolerance policies argue that firm punishment will deter most youth from engaging in forbidden activities, but national drug surveys show us each year that harsh disciplinary policies have failed to reduce rates of tobacco, alcohol or illicit drug use among students.
The Drug Policy Alliance supports replacing failed zero tolerance policies with honest, reality-based drug education and programs to assist students exhibiting patterns of substance misuse.

The weekend ends with a second water rescue
(Cleveland) - There was a frantic water rescue on Cleveland's east side Sunday evening.
Three people were pulled from Lake Erie, near East 72nd Street. A 12 year old taken to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in stable condition.
Two adults were rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center, a female who was in stable condition, and a male who was believed to have been in full arrest.
On Saturday, at around 4:40pm rescue crews were called to Euclid Beach Park after two swimmers were reported missing and it ultimately turned deadly.
When MetroParks Rangers arrived to assist in the search, a 10-year-old child was pulled from the waters and lying on the beach. The child was taken to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.
A 24 year old man also struggled in the water and he was pulled from the lake and rushed to Euclid Hospital where he died. The Cuyahoga Medical Examiner's office has identified him as Treveno Sledge of Euclid.
MetroParks Spokesperson Sue Allen says the area the swimmers were in does not have a lifeguard. Allen says "there are signs that indicate that there is no lifeguard and it is an unattended beach and people still go in the water."
The Cleveland Fire Department, and Cleveland MetroParks Rangers utilized dive teams in the search. The Coast Guard also used a helicopter.

Hi all,
I've been searching the internet endlessly and it's proving difficult to find any clear, impartial information on the subject, so I decided to ask for your advice on here!
I'm hoping to teach English in South America, maybe Colombia, for six months and then travel around the continent. I am going to university to study English but my plan is to do this in my gap year.
I've been looking at courses and I understand the two recognized ones are the CELTA and the Trinity CertTESOL. I have found cheaper courses, mostly internet ones but I'm unsure of their value. In some ways, even though I'd only be teaching for six months, I'd rather invest in a recognized course with it in mind that if I enjoy the experience (and I'm sure I will!) I can return to teaching English after my degree. Plus even the internet courses seem very pricey for what they are!
So what would my chances be of finding a job with a certificate but no degree? And how about with a cheaper TEFL certificate? I've heard that you can teach children but not adults if you have no degree.
Also how will I find a job? What is the common way? Ideally my work would be paid so I can do a bit of travelling afterwards.
Any advice/ information would be really helpful as everywhere I look I'm being given different information! Also, does anyone have any experience teaching English specifically in South America?
Sorry for all the questions; I'm a bit lost!
Thanks so much!!

The Utah Jazz are no longer perfect at home.
The irony of the night, however, was that for much of Monday's 105-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, they were.
But in the final 12, torturous minutes, the Jazz undid all the good they did in the first 36. Defensive confusion left the Jazz pointing fingers on several plays in which Chris Paul got to the basket and several calls by referees left players speechless in postgame interviews, electing to stay quiet, rather than invite fines from the NBA.
"They won the game," Al Jefferson said. "That's all I can say."
After shooting 61.4 percent through three quarters and leading by as many as 14 points, the Jazz were held to just 41.2 percent shooting in the fourth. They were outscored 32-11 in the final period.
"They made big plays and they made big shots down the stretch," Gordon Hayward said, "and we went down to the other end and didn't execute."
The Jazz (9-10) fell to 6-1 at home and, more importantly, dipped under .500 overall. They have lost three in a row, and continue to play without two of their key players. Marvin Williams missed his third game with concussion-like systems despite shooting around with the Jazz on Monday morning. Derrick Favors, meanwhile, missed his second straight game with plantar fasciitis.
Entering the fourth quarter the Jazz seemed in firm control. They led 83-73 and had survived numerous runs from the Clippers.
"I thought we weathered the storm there," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They made a couple runs at us but we were in good shape."
However, with a Utah lineup including Alec Burks and little-used forward Jeremy Evans on the floor, the Clippers went on a 9-2 run.
The damage was done.
They took their first lead at 91-90 on a dunk by Blake Griffin, who led all scorers with 30 points. The former Rookie of the Year, Griffin was the biggest factor for the Clippers in the first three quarters. He finished 14-of-20 from the field, and grabbed 11 rebounds.
In the fourth quarter, Griffin gave way to veteran guards Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups and Jamal Crawford.
After the Jazz went up 99-97 on a 3-pointer from Mo Williams, who led the Jazz with 20 points, Billups baited Williams into a foul on a 3-pointer. Replays showed that Billups stuck his leg out, catching Williams as his former teammate twisted to avoid the foul.
Despite the questionable nature of the call which Williams initially declined to address with the media Billups made 2 of 3 free throws on the play to once again tie the game.
Crawford scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and finished 20 off the bench.
With the Jazz down 101-99, DeAndre Jordan blocked Al Jefferson's soft shot in the lane.
"If I would have seen him I probably wouldn't have gone up with the shot like that," Jefferson said. "He made a heck of a defensive play."
After the Clippers went up 4, the Jazz cut the deficit to 1 on a 3-pointer by Randy Foye with 1.2 seconds left. The Clippers threw a bad inbound pass, which Foye corralled. He was, however, unable to get the potentially game-winning shot off in time.
"I tried to line it up a little bit," Foye said, "but I should have just shot it."
After struggling to a 3-9 start on the road, the Jazz had relied on home games to give them a boost. Now, they don't even have that.
So the Jazz will regroup. Asked how long it takes him to get the taste of a bad loss out of his mouth, Jefferson said, "As soon as I get done talking to the media."
Mo Williams' approach was more organic.
"I'll go home," he said, "and have dinner with my wife. We'll watch a movie, and it will be all right."
Storylines Coming up short
R The Jazz fall to 9-10 overall.
• Mo Williams leads five Jazz players in double figures with 20 points. Randy Foye scores 19, while Gordon Hayward adds 17 off the bench.
• The Jazz host Orlando on Wedneday.

I would be keeping the rifle in PA. It would be a metric pattern with the long birdcage flash suppressor and a Pickatinny top for a scope. Standard stock, all else standard -- though I'd have a gunsmith accurize it a bit if possible.
How much should I budget for this rifle? Should I just throw my hands up and expect to pay $2,000, or are people getting them cheaper than that?
Thanks much.
Sarco kit with new Argy barrel $259, Coonan receiver $299, compliance parts $99?, gunsmith park and assemble (Salbo) $350, misc parts $99 (I like 9). Maybe $1200? + accurizing ($?)
Used pre-assembled for less.
Look on gunbroker. Here's a new dsa for $1200 with a warranty. DSA FAL Rifle...$1,200.00 : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com
Awesome!!!! $1,200 is a lot more reasonable than $2,000 -- even if you have to wait. I've wanted one for 20 years -- a few more months won't make a difference and is well worth saving $800 -- heck that $800 could get me a Mauser and a 10/22 and probably still leave me with change.
DSA has their STG58 Austrian 21" FAL for $1150. I bought one a little over a year ago and I am very impressed with the rifle. It is my first FAL, what a smooth piece of machinery.
You might check SOG, I believe that they had some surplus Inch and Metric FAL's under $1000. New ones will run a lot more.
I know it's over two months later, but I'm writing here to thank you. I bought that $1200 DSA FAL, as well as a Mauser M-48. I'm keeping them in PA. I have the Mauser now, the FAL will take a while, but that was a great deal! Both the dealer and my FFL in PA were wonderful and this would not have happened without you and this board.
I was wondering if you bought it, I'm glad it worked out for you. The only regret I have on my fal is selling it This is a great site and one of the reasons is the people here are happy to help others and not just piss in each others cheerios just to start a flame war like on other sites. Enjoy the new rifles and hope to see you around here more.

Myself, my two younger brothers, and two of my good friends have been talking about making our own custom, and fairly modified beskar'gam for months now but had (until last night) not done much more than collect parts and plan out design details. Last night my buddy Jonathan decided that it was now or never and so the two of us went to Wallyworld and bought some trash cans.
At first we mistakenly got four square 8 gal and 13 gal trash cans to make our plates out of. upon realizing our error we returned to the store only to discover that they only had two 8 gal trash cans in the oval shape. Not to be dissuaded we improvised. We bought two oval 8 gal and one square 13 gal.
Since Johnathan is taller and lankier than I (read less barrel chested and without as once of fat) he cut his chest plates out of the square 13 gal and I cut mine out of one of the two 8 gal.
We have yet to cut the collars (they'll be coming out of my 8 gal), bells (they'll be coming out of the second 8 gal), or anything else but I thought I might as well go ahead and post pics and ask for advice.
How do you make a cod for trash can armor or is it best to buy one from some one who molds them?
What grade sand paper do you guys sand with before paint with primer?
Any tips on type/size of trash can to use for leg and arm plates? (I have one I'm thinking will work for my legs but not sure about arms.)
Lastly this will be a slow WIP: my wedding is in a few weeks and after that classes start back, but I'm figuring this will be one of my main de-stress-ers from school.
Any tips on how to get my pics to upload, I can't get jack to work (either off this comp or from an image hosting site.)

Arsenal Football Club has announced a fundraising total in excess of £185,000 from its dedicated charity matchday v Fulham on Saturday 26th November.
Money raised from the day will help to support Save the Children's education projects at home and overseas, enabling the poorest children to get a better start in life and the chance to fulfil their potential.
A host of fundraising initiatives took place in and around Emirates Stadium on the day, with players and many staff donating a day's wages and supporters contributing to the partnership in a number of ways. Volunteers were out in force and they were joined pre-match by two familiar faces in Carl Jenkinson and Jack Wilshere, who both did their bit by bucket collecting and selling raffle tickets outside on the podium, much to the surprise and delight of home supporters.
Elsewhere, Gunnersaurus led a half-time pitch collection and 50 pence from every matchday programme sold was donated to Save the Children, while co-branded charity sportsbands, as modelled by the Arsenal players, were snapped up in Club retail outlets, with at least £2 from each sale going towards the partnership.
Save the Children CEO, Justin Forsyth, said: "As an Arsenal fan, it gave me an enormous sense of pride to see everyone rallying behind Save the Children at the dedicated matchday against Fulham. We are incredibly grateful to Arsenal players, staff and fans for helping to raise this fantastic sum of money, which will enable us to make a huge difference to the lives of many children in the UK and overseas through our education projects."
Arsenal CEO, Ivan Gazidis, added: "The dedicated matchday was a great example of everyone connected with Arsenal Football Club coming together and another exciting development in our partnership with Save the Children. On behalf of the Club, I'd like to thank everyone that made a contribution to the success of the day – the fantastic fundraising total raised will help us to support a number of education projects and give hope to some of the most disadvantaged youngsters both in the UK and overseas."

Just wondering if there's an easier way to do this section of Boba's cheeks than the one I came up with last night?
( My helmet thread's here. )
Using one of the photos DLed here as a reference ( I forget who's... Sorry! ), I stuck it into Photoshop and measured the length of the bottom of the cheek on my own helm.
Tweaked the size, printed it off... And in the end, had to only use about 2/3 of the template, folding the rest under the edge of the helm as it simply rose too far up the cheek.
I know that the bst way would be to mask it purely with tape, but I'm not THAT good at eyeballing! :S

Got an email yesterday from Matt Stansberry of the Caddis Fly Blog, talking about how plans to ramp up logging could seriously damage some Oregon streams. Some are household names to fly fishermen, even those of us East Coasters who've never fished the Pacific Northwest.
As Matt said, "It's the Alsea, Umpqua, Siuslaw, Rogue and a whole host of other systems."
The hell with that. Take a look at Matt's Post on the Caddis Fly. He explains it far better than I can:
Rivers Impacted By the Western Oregon Plan Revision
Write the Governor. Taking water away from western fly anglers is taking water away from all of us. So, while you're at it, sign this petition to stop Skeena policy perversity in B.C. brought to light by Buster Wants To Fish:


text: Not sure where you are located but here in Texas it is common to find a brand new colt defender 9mm at gun shows for 850. 999.99 is a little high IMO. I would maybe pay that for a .45 colt defender. Even those can be had for 950 New in box. YMMV. Hope this helps.

If you get selected you'll get a spot reserved for a blind, but its first come first serve for which blind so get out there early. At that point just don't sky bust...very annoying to people working ducks. If you get a reservation post it up on here and I'm sure all these knuckleheads will be offering you there services.

Texas State-Fish Art Contest Seeks Entries, Expo Sponsors and Exhibitors
Deadline for entries is March 31
ATHENS, Texas-Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) officials intend to make the 2010 State-Fish Art Contest expo at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens the biggest and best in the contest's history, and they need your help.
Wildlife Forever, the national sponsor of the contest, has agreed to move the national competition and expo from the Mall of America in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, to TFFC for the July 17 event.
The Toyota Bass Classic Foundation funds the Texas division of the contest, including cash prizes for Texas winners. However, in order to put on a Texas-size event, TFFC is seeking the cooperation of additional sponsors to put on a day-long outdoor show with hands-on activities and exhibits for the contest winners, their families, and the public.
Outdoor-related businesses and organizations are invited to have a booth to display and sell merchandise or to sponsor a demonstration or hands-on activity such as outdoor cooking, camping, archery, casting, fly-fishing, making fish prints or rock climbing.
Especially wanted are artists who combine an interest in the outdoors with their art, whether it be sculpture, painting, woodcarving, pottery, jewelry-making or more. "We want to showcase a broad range of outdoor activities and types of art to acquaint students with the variety of artistic endeavors, recreation and career opportunities available to them," said Zoe Ann Stinchcomb, coordinator of the Texas division of the contest. "The ultimate goal of the contest is to foster a lifelong interest in conservation and the outdoors through art."
Artists are invited to have a booth to sell their art and to demonstrate the techniques used in making it.
The State-Fish Art Contest is open to any student in grades 4 through 12 in public, private or home schools. Texas entries are judged at TFFC and are due March 31. Contest information and entry form can be found at tpwd.texas.gov/fishart.
A video about the contest may be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/TexasParksWildlife#p/c/EEFA84B51D1C2C8B/0/i0rPPgaBJdA.
Businesses, organizations and individuals wishing to sponsor or take part in the expo should contact Stinchcomb at (903) 670-2238 or e-mail email@example.com.

2013: In a brutal attack recorded on closed-circuit TV and by bystanders, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale hit 25-year-old British soldier Lee Rigby (pictured) with a car and then hack him to death with a meat cleaver and knives. The Islamic converts, through testimony or their lawyers' arguments in court, indicated they killed Rigby for Allah. Cellphone footage replayed at the trial showed Adebolajo, still clutching a cleaver in his bloody hands, ranting that the killing was "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" for British soldiers killing Muslims overseas. The two were convicted of Rigby's murder in December 2013 and sentenced in February 2014, with Adebolajo receiving life in prison and Adebowale receiving a sentence of at least 45 years. [ + - ]

Condit was never named a suspect by police and was eventually cleared of involvement. Nearly eight years after Levy's death, D.C. authorities would charge Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, with Levy's murder. Guandique, who had already been convicted of assaulting two other women in the park where Levy's remains were found, was convicted in November 2010 and sentenced in 2011 to 60 years in prison. In 2015, Guandique was granted a new trial, but prosecutors eventually declined to retry him due to concerns that the prosecution's star witness, Guandique's cellmate, had perjured himself. Instead, Guandique was deported to El Salvador. [ + - ]
2002: A jury in Birmingham, Alabama, convicts former Ku Klux Klan member Bobby Frank Cherry of four counts of murder for his role in the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church that killed four young black girls and injured 22 other people.

Flood warnings for Tennessee, Kentucky. near Mississippi River
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) _ Flood warnings have been issued in Tennessee and Kentucky as the Mississippi River starts to slowly rise from northern floodwaters, but officials say the rising water should not have a significant impact.
Marlene Mickelson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Memphis, said Monday that the lower part of the Mississippi River will see elevated levels through the next two weeks.
Jim Pogue, of the Army Corps of Engineers district in Memphis, said the corps is not anticipating any significant flooding in its region, which includes parts of western Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, southern Missouri and southern Illinois.
Pogue said the river gets much wider as it moves south toward Memphis making flooding less likely. Pogue also said the land near the river is mostly agricultural.
