Draper • Even a team that has won five of its first six games has plenty to learn.
And so it was that Juan Diego's weekend became equal parts basketball games and study hall, with lots of lessons and material to be studied and reviewed.
The Soaring Eagle played three games in three days as part of its annual Christmas Classic eight-team tournament, and they learned what it will take to play multiple times in a short span at the state tournament in February.
Juan Diego also learned it's far from perfect after enduring its first loss of the season Saturday against Richfield. And in the process, the Soaring Eagle got a lesson in the importance of sharing the ball.
A talented roster features multiple offensive options Dominique and Monique Mills, Lancee Whetman and Melanie Mecham among them but it's still trying to find the balance between making the extra pass and when it's time to shoot.
"The challenge with having so many scorers is to continue to make the extra pass," Juan Diego coach Natalie Williams said. "Sometimes we get caught up in dribbling too much and trying to do it on their own. We need to work more on running the offense and being patient.
"We are a team that scores a lot of points and they like to score quick. They need to slow down a little bit."
Clearly, what the Soaring Eagle know what to do is play in transition. They already have schooled their share of opponents this season, and their fast-break offense was in rhythm even in defeat.
A steal by Whetman, outlet to Mecham, dish to a Mills sister for an easy two. Couldn't draw it up any better on a chalkboard.
"In practice, we work mostly on transition," said Mecham, a junior point guard. "Because our team is faster than most teams. We have the speed to push it."
The transition game is jump-started by a full-court press that has shaken less-experienced teams early this season. Richfield, however, was able to maneuver through the press and found easy baskets.
"Most of the time we use it for mostly the whole game," Mecham said about the pressure defense.
Whetman said learning from Williams, a former Olympian and WNBA player, has been beneficial. Juan Diego has won 25 of 26 games under the coach.
"She really knows the game a lot from all her experience," Whetman said. "She brings a lot of knowledge of the game to help us out and really pushes us in practice."
Top runners
Timpanogos' Jake Heslington placed 28th overall in the boys' race and Herriman's Lucy Biles finished 52nd in the girls' race earlier this month at the Nike Cross Nationals cross country race in Portland, Ore. Both ran as individuals after qualifying out of the US Southwest Region.

I actually find it believable that he had a backstage encounter with a fan during a time when he didn't have a girlfriend. I'm not sure the timing of this compared to his dating history though.
I'm only surprised it took so long. Seventeen year old boys get themselves into trouble with girls all the time. Average, 17 year old boys who attend their local high school and work part-time at Burger King for spending money. Justin Bieber has looks, money and fame. Did anyone think he was living like a monk?
The evil part of me hopes it is true just to sit back and watch the shit hit the fan.
If true, then perhaps his next single could be a cover of that blecherous Anka song "Having My Baby." Though the thought of Bieber as a baby daddy is a bit and for me.
It is just so hard to think of him as a sexually active adult because he looks so young! If you told me he was 14 I would believe you. He could even pass for 12. I hope it is not true and he is much more careful from now on.
There is just too much gossip this week. Kim's divorce, Jessica's baby, Lindsey's return to jail, and not this! I can't keep up!!!
And it's only Wednesday!
Wait a minute. If that is true, wouldn't it make her a sex predator for having sex with an underage boy?
I guess it depends. How old is the baby? How old is Justin, exactly? In most states 17 is the legal age so if he was 17 then it is OK. I can't remember if he is 17 about to turn 18 or 16 about to turn 17, though. Also, many states have a 2 year gap where it isn't illegal. So an 18 year old and a 16 year old would be legal. Just depends where you live, though. I am assuming it is legal otherwise she wouldn't be so ready to come forward. Either that, or it is all a lie so it doesn't matter anyway and she's just trying to get a reality show out of all of this.
It would depend on where this alleged sexual encounter occurred because the age of consent varies. In many states in the U.S. it is 16 (in some it is even younger).
I hope it's his, the lols are too epic. And the kid can live off nicely off his millions
He was 16, she was 19.
I hope it's not his as this isn't a nice way for any kid to start out it's life.
I think a lot of babies wouldn't mind starting out their lives filthy rich.
I think it's a tough one for team Beebs, because they can't claim statutory rape without admitting that there's the possibility that he's her baby father.
I think a lot of babies would not like to hear their mother say they were conceived in a bathroom stall and it took all of 30 seconds. If it does turn out to be his kid the relationship with the mother hasn't started well, with all the details she is giving it's humiliating at best.
And if she's lying there is all that to deal with as well.
I also think it's sad that this is all public, he is still a minor.
The age of consent in CA is 18, so yeah, there could be ramifications. Otoh, bc the age difference is just 3 years, it would only be a misdemeanor if they chose to prosecute.
Has the Biebs even started puberty? He'd be shooting blanks. The whole statutory rape angle would be quite interesting, maybe that will be his way of getting custody if it's really his? Poor Selena, their love was so pure and true!
They can't prosecute with any hope of winning without Bieber admitting to the whole affair and that will never happen unless the baby actually is his.
What details is this girl giving? I haven't heard anything specific other than it was a quickie backstage. Is she doing a lot of talking?
At 16 I doubt he was "shooting blanks" even if he still looked quite young.
I know! I'm at him being any sort of sex symbol. He's a cute kid, but just a KID.
And this is coming from someone who's dating a guy who's 29-going-on-17.
In California, it's 18. If the perpetrator is more than 3 years younger or older, they can be charged.
Can't they just be like, "Hey, this girl has a screw loose, if she's really the baby mama, she's a statutory rapist."
I'm not sure how the lawyers would fanagle that though.
I would think that since Justin is a minor, they'd have an adult watching him at all times. But I suppose fame and wealth will let you get away with all sorts of things.
But let's think bigger. It could be a warning for all young men to have safe sex, or else they could be hit with similar paternity suits. Or for young women to continue groupie-ing their favorite male stars in hopes of getting cushy child support and their 15 minutes of fame...
There's been enough detail on some of the gossip site reports that I feel like a filthy old lady for even looking at them, and I'm going to need industrial-strength brain bleach to get those images out of my head.
I know it's evil of me, but after seeing his obnoxious fangirls hurling death threats at any females who've even been rumored to be going out with the Bieb, I am kind of hoping this is true, just because the wanksplosion will probably kill the Internet, and then I'll be way more productive.
the interwebs will never die!
Identifying a babydaddy is a simple process. I'm PML at the thought of Beiber on the Maury show and getting the news.
Complete with a brown envelope containing the results of the DNA tests....
I see that the Biebster responded to the news with a twitter saying he was going to focus on "the positives...the music". So listening to his music is a good thing? Really??
He also started dating Selena Gomez when he was 16 and she was 18... so 16 and having sex with a (then) 19 year old is not really much different - his relationship with Selena would have to be seen as statutory rape as well if they claim this with Baby Mama, wouldn't he? Maybe that's why they aren't making any stat rape claims in this case.
It's only a misdemeanor in the Selena/Justin case.
I call shenanigans. Publicity stunt.
That's only if you can prove that Selena and Bieber had sex.
It would only be a misdemeanor in the paternity case too
At this point there are denials the two even met so it's a bit premature discussing whether charges for statutory rape would be made but...
*IF* it turns out to be true, that he's the baby daddy, then I can only see such a move if the plan is to try to regain some of his sweet image by making it seem the poor boy was seduced by this hussy
Having seen pictures of her and reading a bit about her version of events I'm going out on a limb and saying there are two possibilites here: she's flat out lying to make some cash from magazines (a photo of her with baby was very quick to get in the hands of US magazine while the ink was still drying on her complaint) OR someone in his group arranged for Justin to become a "man" and she provided her services (because I don't believe for a second that of all the screaming girls there are at those concerts for him that she was the one that caught his eye).

A criminal investigation is underway after a Boy Scout camp director shot and killed a bear in a Scout camp Wednesday evening.
The director and a Scout leader responded to a report of a bear in a campsite and attempted to scare the bear away, said Rick Barnes, Scout executive for the Great Salt Lake Council. When that failed, the director decided "to take the bear down" by shooting it three times, Barnes said.
The bear was eating a bag of candy bars left on a picnic table, Barnes said, adding that no Scouts were in the immediate vicinity of the animal.
The incident occurred at 8:30 p.m. at the Hinckley Scout Ranch on the east fork of the Bear River on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains.
The Scouts knew a bear had been in the 600-acre camp earlier in the week after one had slashed a tent in another part of the ranch over the previous weekend, Barnes said. They had closed off that small section but allowed 500 Scouts to begin their weeklong camp on Monday in other parts of the ranch.
Council leaders asked Division of Wildlife Resources to place bear warning signs around the camp, Barnes said. DWR employees gave presentations to the Scouts about bear-safety precautions, said Jodie Anderson, member of the conservation outreach section of the division. That included admonishments about thoroughly cleaning up all food and disposing of any leftovers in bear-proof containers.
Barnes said his leaders and Scouts took those warnings and precautions seriously, but "unfortunately, we had one group not follow the rules." That troop was told they had to leave camp early, and they returned home Thursday.
The DWR's law enforcement officers are wrapping up their investigation and plan to turn it over to the county attorney once it is completed to screen for charges, Anderson said.
"Oh, brother!" Barnes said of the investigation. "I think that's uncalled for."
He said the camp director who shot the bear has worked full time for the Great Salt Lake Council for two years but has worked in scouting for 10 years. He came from Colorado, where he also dealt with bears.
"He's not a newcomer to the situation," Barnes said.
Barnes said there hasn't been a bear at Hinckley Scout Ranch for six years, but Scouts and bears have had run-ins before.
In June 2006, a bear bit through the side of a tent and into a Boy Scout's arm at Hobble Creek Canyon. The DWR later shot and killed that bear. The DWR also shot and killed two bears in June 2004 after the pair entered the Bristlecone Boy Scout Camp northwest of Helper and ravaged a tented kitchen area demolishing garbage cans and polishing off three gallons of ice cream.
And 2009 proved to be a particularly fatal year for Utah bears as people shot seven black bears throughout the state after attempts to scare them from campgrounds, wilderness areas and private property failed.
Once bears have eaten human food, it becomes nearly impossible to keep them out of inhabited areas.
That's why cleaning campsites becomes critical, Anderson said.
"Keep your campsites clean; it is something to take very seriously," Anderson said. "These are wild animals, and you have to do everything you can to protect yourself. The most important thing is to keep your campsite clean."

Bear safety tips
Most forested areas in Utah provide habitat suitable for black bears and probably contain a resident population of bears. To prevent conflicts with black bears:
• Never feed a bear.
• Keep campsites, cabin sites and rural homes free of food and litter. Clean barbecue grills and store them inside a secure facility. If garbage is stored on the premises, keep it in a covered, bear-proof container and remove it often.
• Do not leave food in coolers, on picnic tables or any place bears can access it easily.
• When camping, store food where bears cannot reach it. Never keep food in your tent. Store food in the trunk of your car or in a bear-proof container.
• If hiking in dense vegetation, make noise to alert bears of your presence. Voices, whistles and other noises are usually sufficient.
• Never approach or come between a mother bear and her young.
Bear encounters:
• Do not make direct eye contact. Bears perceive eye contact as aggressive behavior.
• Stay calm. Immediately pick up small children.
• Make noise, yell, clap your hands, bang pots or throw rocks to scare it away.
• Make yourself appear as large as possible. Raise your arms, jacket, pack or other object over your head.
• Never approach a bear. If it approaches you, retreat slowly or climb a tree.
• Do not turn and run, as this may trigger an attack. Slowly back away.
• If you are attacked and cannot get away, fight back, kick, scream and yell. Be aggressive.

text: Delfino did play in all 82 games and avg almost 17 MPG. Its not like he did not get a chance. He is not going to be another Ginobili, he is not going to win a 6th man of the year award. He may not even be in the NBA when his contract ends since he has expressed a desire to go back home to Argentina on several occasions. Not sure how he feels now after his 1st NBA season of real PT but that was what he way saying before. Tried him out last season and it did not work out as expected. It would have been nice if Dumars had gotten more but that probably was all he could get for him. Those 2nd round picks can come in handy as trade fodder. If you want to make a stand I don't see this one as a worthy cause.

Forgive me if I keep asking the same questions, but here goes:1. When would be the best time to introduce HSC to the brood box of my already existing hive? Seems as though I shouldn't "mess" with it until Spring?
2. When I do add the HSC core to the brood box, what on Earth should I do with the frames I pull? Sacrifice any brood on them?
what would you do w/ the "throw away" frames and whatever they might contain(pollen/honey) ?
I have some other questions too about HSC-does it count as small cell since its about 5.1mm?
do the frames hold up to the rigors of beekeeping? I'm tired of broken frames and need to find a better supplier than the local manufacturer for frames.
How long should it take to "feed-in" all ten frames in a deep?how many do I feed in at a time?
7/11 ?
I would checkerboard them in your super. I think this gets them accepted faster.

As promised/threatened in TD2253's excellent motorized rangefinder thread, I've started putting together a tutorial on soldering for those folks who find themselves .
This will be an ongoing project as I find time to sit, write, and find or take good example photos. The only thing I have finished right this moment is the "Safety" portion, but since there's always time for safety (right? RIGHT?) I'll go ahead and post that while I continue work on some tool information.
Feel free to jump right in and ask questions if you want - even if it's something I'm going to cover in a tutorial installment, I'll gladly answer anything I can. Along with that, I do not consider myself infallible or all-knowing by any stretch, so if anyone else wants to chime in and answer questions I welcome and encourage you to do so.
Soldering 101, or "So, you'd like to burn your fingerprints off!"
Many people view soldering as a mysterious art, practiced and mastered only by pasty basement-dwelling nerds surrounded by hundreds of pounds of electronic equipment and empty Mountain Dew bottles. While true to a certain extent, these conditions are certainly not a prerequisite to becoming an accomplished solderer. Er. Solderererr. Whatever.
Rumor has it that many species of monkeys have, in fact, been taught to solder with proper instruction and ample practice time. You're not going to let a trained monkey make you look like an untrained monkey, are you? Of course you're not, so let's get started!

Re: The Salt's Corner Table
I happened to look at this thread for the first time in a long time and I noticed WaltTheSalt's post #122. I would like to make a correction for the newbies out there. Walt says "How do I know I'm on a collision course? When the other boat's bearing is constant. This is simple to figure out. Just line up the other boat with something on the shore. If the boat is moving ahead of the shore object it'll pass ahead of you. If the other boat is moving back on the shore object it will pass astern."
This is not quite right.
Lining it up with an object on shore does not take into account all of the movement of both boats. Also, sometimes the shore is not visible. What you should do instead is line it up with a location on your own boat. If you see the other boat over the same spot on your boat over time, then your relative angle is not changing, and you are on a collision course. This also works for stationary objects like navaids, and the nice part is that it fully takes into account the movement of both boats, including leeway.
Re: The Salt's Corner Table
Okay - so, obviously I've been a little too busy lately to keep this thread updated...and I don't see that changing for a while...
Who wants to take over the reigns?
Obviously, with 20K views, it's a pretty relevant thread for newbs looking for a quick path to the best answers to oft-asked sailing questions on the interwebs.
It's really pretty simple...you just find the best response to said query, steal the hell out of it, and post it here. It's not rocket science. But it's pretty damn cool.
Surely one of you chumps is game enough to take the baton. Pay it forward, baby. Well?

[QUOTE=smackdaddy;781894]This about sums it up...[/QUOTE
I recently took a cousin of mine for his first sailboat ride. We did the MacMan Challenge, a race from Makinac Island Michigan to Little Current, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. He raced motorcycles, snowmobiles and so on. He looked me right in the eyes after some sea sickness and 90 nautical miles of racing and said " I would have never believed I could have such a rush doing 9 miles per hour!" He was sincere. I forwarded the last post to him because it had so much meaning. Same story, and, the story ends with my boats name. BLISS!
Re: The Salt's Corner Table
Ever wonder about the pros and cons of mono vs. multi? Here's someone who knows:

Carrying weight was the issue for livability, as well as really limited stand up interior living space in the Gem. Great for younger folks - less wonderful for us. We will miss the "one level" living of the Gem, but feel like access to the larger useable "living space" of our Irwin is a good trade off.
Underway comfort was a huge factor. We had the Gem out in several small craft advisories and frankly, while the boat did great, we got the crap pounded out of us. That's a function of the low bridge deck (every wave is a SLAM on the bottom) and the beam (14ft). Most likely this was a particular Chesapeake Bay issue, with the smaller period chop and power boat wakes. (When I did the delivery of s/v Felix with Dan we did open ocean from Cape May to Block Island and the Gem was a comfortable ride in pretty big swells.) A larger cat would not have those issues, and would have better cockpit seating for underway. In fact, we're seeing lots of larger (38, 40, 46, 50 ft) cats on the Bay in the last year or so.
I was surprised and delighted at the feel of the water/wind when I took the helm of the Irwin. I had forgotten what fun it was to feel the wind in the sails and the responsiveness of the rudder/boat. Its the difference between a Cadillac ride and a sports car hugging the road. One's a smooth ride: the other's fun to drive!
Our ideal boat is a Voyage 44 or something similar. A cat that size would eliminate the underway and living space issues above, but add significant cost to the equation. Not going to happen with our budget.
So. We compromised. I'm deeply sad to see the Gem go, but focusing fiercely on making the Irwin a home, because getting out there is the whole point.
This about sums it up...

How is it that I can get that same feeling or even a better one from such a low speed experience? I have put a lot of thought to it and I still can't figure it out. Its the same reason that the Vikings wanted to be buried at sea. The same reason people live on boats and sail the world. There is something thats magical when you are out in the water and there is no motor and the boat is moving along in the wind. Is it adrenalin or is it zen? Yes maybe zen is more accurate. That state of mind where you are at one with your environment and at peace with the world. Where you and your boat are both working in unison to move through the wind. Where your mind is in the moment and you don't have a care in the world. Sailing is one of the few activities I have done where 100% of my conscious mind is focused on the activity. All my senses are taking in the environment as I analyze the wind, water and the surroundings looking for any clues that may help me squeeze another half of knot of speed out of the current conditions. My mind has let go completely the stresses of the regular world. The utility bills don't exist. I don't care when the new iPhone is coming out. I don't care that I will be at work tomorrow morning at 8 am. The only thing I am focused on is the windex showing me the direction the wind is coming from and how my sails are trimmed. This is bliss.
|Harbor, Doug's answered many of your questions in the original thread (and dealt with a lot of crap as well). Click the little white/blue arrow by his name in my post above and it will take you to that thread.
Geez... What a story. Its your wife, what are you going to do? Maybe let HER be rescued and you stay with the boat? Doesn't matter I suppose since either way your 50' has to come into contact with the 900'. Sounds to me like your standing rigging was in need of a through examination. Yet even still it sounds as though you had everything, more or less, under control.
So many unknowns so it is impossible to be detailed but I wonder the amount of waster in your bilge? Also, did your Bilge pumps/utility pumps still work? Could they not handle the amount coming in?
Was the water coming through the holes in the decks from the chain plates?
No use crying over spilled milk, but it sounds like you spilled a pretty big glass.
You know why the Captain is the Captain right? He is in control. Of course, I understand your quandary. To overrule your wife on the high seas would not have meant for pleasant landings. Still, when were talking 50' boat worth big dollars I am of your opinion. If we arent in the raft, we arent calling for rescue.
It sounds to me that you guys were still pretty safe. I do not know the weather forecast but so long as the barometer was not dropping and your jury rig was holding up keeping your initial course was probably wisest. I recently read a Harvard study that concluded your first instincts are more than often the right one. Once you start second guessing you run into problems.
Sounds to me you will never have this problem again. You already proved capable of holding it together in less than good circumstances. Next time your experience will keep you on the right path.
Glad to hear you and yours made it safely home. Sounds like a truly epic (in the bad sense) day.
When we read or hear about a sinking/abandonment/rescue, rarely do we get the skipper actually come on this forum to give a first account of what happened, mistakes made, and lessons learned. You can see why in the "S/V Triumph lost in the atlantic" thread as it devolves into the typical ridiculousness.
Regardless, this is extremely valuable stuff. And it should be preserved. Thanks for filling us in Doug. And hang in there dude.

We left Boston on July 15th, and about a week out, the oil cooler malfunctioned allowing ocean water to mix with the engine oil. I changed the oil to remove as much of the water as possible, and did shut the thru hull for the ocean water to the engine.
The plan at that point was to continue to sail to our intended first target of the Azores, and attempt to replace the cooler there.
On July 26th, 2 Main (ketch rigged Gulfstar 50), starboard stays broke at the chainplate connections, just under the deck, then pulled through the deck leaving some holes on the deck.
Before I devised my own plan for dealing with this, I contacted both our insurance company and the coast guard to find out what our options might be, for towing, or assistance. I quickly learned it would cost $250K to be towed home.
So, I realized I could temporarily attach the stays using some line and make a connection from the end of the stays to the starboard jib sheet travelors; not deploy the main sail, and shorten the jib by furling it somewhat. If I turned back to Boston, with such greatly reduced sails, the SW wind would only stress the port stays, and we could slowly sail home.
The next morning, July 27th, we discovered a lot of water in the bilge.
Well, my First Mate / Mrs. Sabbag, basically threw in the towel at that development. And I couldn't (though I should have in retrospect) overcome her insistence on abandoning the vessel.
Considering what happened next, I really should NOT have CALLED THE COAST GUARD for assistance.
Per the mutual assistance program AMVER, a 900 foot oil tanker arrived, in only a few hours(!) and as I was afraid of, the **** really hit the fan.
You do not bring a 50 foot sailboat alongside a 900 foot oil tanker in 10 to 15 foot seas, unless you do not care about what will happen.
The tanker, (after trying to grab our deployed sea anchor with a grappling hook, but missed it because they were too far forward of the 500 foot line), decided ON THEIR OWN to intersect the sea anchor rode / line, which brought the Triumph alongside the starboard side of the tanker and the sea anchor alongside their port side. With the tanker still underway, the sea anchor was moving aft thereby pulling the Triumph forward.
Well, what happened next was unbelievable. The Triumph was pulled into their anchor / anchor housing, which effectively crushed the Triumph, smashing her from the bow toward the stern, as the 10 - 15 foot waves smashed us up into the metal. We had been standing on deck, and had to run to the stern to avoid the falling main mast, and all the flying debris and the smashing anchor! It was a scene from a horror movie.
From there it only got worse.
I wrapped a line from the tanker around my wife and pushed her overboard. They pulled her up to their deck in fairly short order.
But, when I (erroneously) went over board with one of the lines in my hands, it ended up requiring over 3 hours for me to get on deck.
I learned to vomit underwater in order to get rid of the water I was takin into my stomach, in order to regain bouyancy, and I "went down" numerous times only to (I learned later), amaze the tanker crew by coming back up.
By the time I barely managed to make it to a life bouy, I was losing strength from hypothermia, the repeated sinking / vomiting, and all the screaming I had been doing.
It is quite a sick feeling to be almost 1000 miles out to sea and realize nobody is going to jump in to get you / there is no helicopter with a basket and a USCG trained savior, and the only vessel around is as frightening up close as she could run me over like any piece of flotsam.
I was quite sure I was dead, but amazingly I am not.
If you are ever in a pickle, FIX IT YOURSELF, DO NOT ASK FOR ASSISTANCE, and tell your "crew" to suck it up.
ONLY, when you are in your life pod, after your boat has sunk, should you call for assistance unless you are prepared for what happens when a 50 footer meets a 900 footer.
Now, we are shopping for a newer boat, and have our sights on an AMEL.
If anyone knows of a late model (1990s) 53 foot Amel for sale, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Avoiding collisions
I recently read an article that overcomplicated this subject. The basics are simple:
How do I know Im on a collision course? When the other boats bearing is constant. This is simple to figure out. Just line up the other boat with something on the shore. If the boat is moving ahead of the shore object itll pass ahead of you. If the other boat is moving back on the shore object it will pass astern.
How do I maneuver? You cant go wrong by heading for the other boats stern. If its ahead or nearly ahead always turn right.
Always make your turn large so its obvious to the other boat what youre doing.
Nav Light memory aids:
Red over Green sailing machine
Red over Red the captain is dead (not under command)
Reed over white fishing at night
Red Red Red . rubbing rocks ahead (aground)
Green over White trawler at night
Yellow over white the towline is tight (long tow)

Re: Islander 37MS owners
Hi Jim,
Thanks for getting back to me. Would be interested to know the specs of your propeller. Assuming you are running your shaft at engine speed.
I have had 7 knots on smooth water, rapidly down to five in a chop or head wind. Very slow to start moving. Would dearly love to know how the boat had performed with the 13/7 prop but too long ago.
Hope to experiment with shallower pitch on a bigger prop or maybe a new gearbox and even bigger courser prop! 2:1 reduction is the ideal way to go but maybe not an option for me.
Will keep you posted.
|Jim Kneale
Re: Islander 37MS owners
I've got a similar boat, but no current specs on the prop. I can take measurements in the November timeframe when she is pulled for rudder inspection, or send you an old photo so you can see the general scale.
We do about 5 knots at 2000 RPM. Nothing smokes, but the temp starts to rise above 185 if we push the RPMs much above that. The Perkins 4.108 or 4.107 rating as a 50 HP engine is pushing it. The curves show that horsepower at significantly higher RPMs where you would never operate an old engine.
One thing we learned recently is that barnacles on your running gear will significantly reduce the speed and make the temperature increase (or smoke in your case) at the same RPMs. Our speed went from 2.7 back to 5 after a short haul and powerwash.
Check out the Islander Sailboat Owners facebook page. Not many 37MS's, but I don't think they built many in the first place.
I'd be happy to share info. I've been restoring one for the past year and a half. It has a V-drive and the engine under the cockpit.

Yachtcraft 37MS with a '74 hull, finished in '82
Rock Creek, Chesapeake Bay
Re: Islander 37MS owners
Hi All. Have just got myself an Islander 37MS 1971 in need of TLC and some questions.
Perkins 4-107 with a 12/8inch prop which seems to be rather small for the boat. Surprised to see a Borg Warner gearbox with no reduction rather than a Hurth and 2:1 reduction so perhaps that is why.
Am told my prop is a compromise, too small but probably over pitched with a theoretical full speed of 14 knots at full revs. Not enough thrust especially into a sea. Generates soot over 2000 revs. Also told cavitation when using crankshaft revs can be a problem. It used to have a 13/7inch one (both three blade).
Anyone have a Hurth gearbox or made that conversion? If so how did it go and what size prop.
Anyone with the Borg Warner box, how does it go (revs and speed) and what size prop is best?

Re: Islander 37MS owners
Seth - Its a bit of a late response, but if you are still looking for information regarding the support structure on a Islander 37MS, we have Ranes' old Dream Catcher. It was built from a Yachtcraft kit with a 1974 hull, so it should be pretty close to what you have. Ours has the engine under the cockpit and a V-drive.

I was told that one of the best ways to redue the inside is to use -- Formica. I considering it to Replace the Damaged Wood in my I-37. The reason... it's a good choice... it will take the water damage coming in from the windows or hull leakage. I need to spend about $ 4 to 5 K to get my boat in the water. Replace the -- broken rudder, repair 4 in. x 4 in. hole, buy a couple anchors and line. I need a base radio and charts and I'm sailing (very basic). I need spend about 16 K + to do a little better than Basic. I need some decent used gear i.e. hand held radio, emer. gear, paint top side, 2 new cabin windows, side rail redone, new breaker box, nav./ auto. pilot sys., used radar if money $$ is left over.
Again, looking for Used Items (items wanted above) and let me know what you have .... at arbakerjr at hotmail dot com ?
I was told when I 1st got my boat.. do the most important items 1st - Make the Boat 100% Sea Worthy 1st, 2nd the Power Train (eng., drive & prop.) and 3rd... the nice to look at stuff. They gave me a little sayig but I forgot what they said ... however; I said about the the same thing in my 1,2,3 list.

Re: Islander 37MS owners
Hello All,
I just bought my Islander 37 MS today (20 Oct.). The boat has some minor damage but minor... as far as I know. I look forward to getting the boat ship shape. I just retired from the U. S. Army. I have been looking to buy a decent boat & sail it to Grenada & return from Niceville, FL.
I need a rudder for my boat (tip is damaged), that's the biggest damage & needed repair to my boat. If someone know's of rudder... let me know.

A graduate degree from Ball State's College of Architecture and Planning can open doors in the environmental design and planning fields, both for professionals already working in the field and those hoping to land a job.
Our graduate programs provide both foundational and advanced education to meet these varying needs. Working professionals and those who already have an undergraduate degree in these fields can expand their knowledge and hone an area of specialization. That, in turn, may lead to higher-level professional positions and greater career satisfaction. Meanwhile, a master's degree can be the ticket that someone with a degree in another discipline needs in order to enter the field of environmental design and planning.
In either case, the master's programs blend intensive studio courses, hands-on design projects, and a capstone thesis or creative project. They usually also entail an internship in a professional office or public agency, along with field trips, study-abroad opportunities, and the chance to build upon the experience through service in an assistantship.
Our graduate programs include:

Arsène Wenger has a number of selection issues to resolve before he can name his squad for the Premier League opener at Liverpool on Sunday.
Johan Djourou (hamstring), Nicklas Bendtner (groin) and Aaron Ramsey (leg) will all miss the trip to Anfield, while Alex Song (calf) is almost certain to do likewise.
However Denilson (abdominal) and Abou Diaby (calf) face fitness tests before the team travel north. Meanwhile, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas are not injured but do lack match fitness after a long World Cup campaign. Wenger will wait before making a decision on either. Despite missing the trip to Poland last weekend with a muscular injury, Andrey Arshavin is available.
"Alex Song has a calf problem and will be short," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday afternoon. "Denilson will have a test on Friday or Saturday on an abdominal problem. Diaby has a calf problem but he is back in full training. He might be available and Andrey Arshavin is alright.
"But I still have to make a decision about whether I will include Van Persie and Fabregas in the squad."
Arsenal.com will bring you updated injury news from the manager's press conference on Friday lunchtime.

President Mugabe of Zimbabwe with each passing day is transforming himself into a caricature of every crackpot petty dictator known to the cinema or the literary world. At points, he struts on the stage of power like a second rate Benito Mussolini, and other times, he is a poor version of Joseph Stalin. On his return from the AU meeting, he was greeted by thousands who knew it was better to cheer him than to appear disappointed he was still alive. "I am the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe and that is reality he told the crowd." If the Movement for Democratic Change refuses to accept that reality he warned, there would be no dialogue with its leaders.
Failure on the part of the African Union to take a strong stand and either suspend Mugabe from the organization or to impose sanctions, have made this two-bit petty dictator believe he is immune to any form of opposition. The cowardly AU even refused to appoint an impartial mediator to deal with the Zimbabwe situation even tough opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, denounced President Mbeki of South Africa for his tight friendship with Mugabe.

Java just keeps growing, adding features, functionality, complexity, and tempting developers to growl with frustration. The new 1.4 release of Java 2 Standard edition increases the size of the platform by 50%, to 2757 classes in 135 packages. How are you going to figure out what this means for your applications? As always, Java in a Nutshell has the answers. The new 4th edition still contains an accelerated introduction to the Java programming language and its key APIs so you can start writing code right away. And with more than 250 new pages, author David Flanagan quickly brings you up to speed on new features that come with version 1.4:
David Flanagan is a computer programmer who spends most of his time writing about JavaScript and Java. His books with O'Reilly include Java in a Nutshell, Java Examples in a Nutshell, Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, and JavaScript Pocket Reference. David has a degree in computer science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife and son in the U.S. Pacific Northwest bewteen the cities of Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. David has a simple website at http://www.davidflanagan.com.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Java in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition is a Javan tiger. It is the smallest of the eight subspecies of tiger and has the longest cheek whiskers, which form a short mane across the neck. The encroachment of the growing human population, along with increases in poaching, have led to the near-extinction of the Javan tiger. The Indonesian government has become involved in trying to preserve the tiger. It is to be hoped that the remaining subspecies of tiger will be helped by increasing awareness and stricter protections.Tigers are the largest of all cats, weighing up to 660 pounds and with a body length of up to 9 feet. They are solitary animals and, unlike lions, hunt alone. Tigers prefer large prey, such as wild pigs, cattle, or deer. Tigers rarely attack humans, although attacks on humans have increased as the increasing human population more frequently comes into contact with tigers. Tiger attacks usually occur when the tiger feels that it or its young are being threatened. In such cases, the tiger almost never eats its human victim. There are some tigers, however, who have developed a taste for human flesh. This is a particularly bad problem in an area of India and Bangladesh called the Sunderbans. Matt Hutchinson was the production editor and copyeditor for Java in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition. Rachel Wheeler and Emily Quill provided quality control. Ellen Troutman-Zaig and Brenda Miller wrote the index. Lenny Muellner provided XML support.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. David Futato designed the interior layout based on a series design by Nancy Priest. The print version of this book was created by translating the Doc-Book XML markup of its source files into a set of gtroff macros using a filter developed at O'Reilly & Associates by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU troff --gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to XML and implemented the book design. The GNU groff text formatter Version 1.11.1 was used to generate PostScript output. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book; the code font is Constant Willison. The hierarchy diagrams that appear in the quick-reference section of this book were produced in encapsulated PostScript format by a Java program written by David Flanagan. This colophon was written by Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary.

I liked the third edition better for one primary reason: those little black tabs on the pages to identify where the different classes were. This version is a lot harder to use... in fact, it's an outright pain in the posterior, slightly below the coccyx.PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE put those tabs back on the class reference pages. I don't know what posessed you to get rid of them.

I have this book for about half a year. I basically learnd J2SE with this book. It is very cryptic. Yes it is a nutshell. If you want to purely learn Java, this is probably not the one you want. But it does show all interfaces and classes at the core of Java. It is a wonderfull quick reference to e.g. java.util.LinkedHashSet and java.nio.FileChannel etc etc. Once you know how to work with them, this book really starts to pay off. Each method and argument are explained, although very briefly. Yes, it is a Nutshell. This book certainly not too big.
By nick grayson
most (or all, im not sure) of the classes are in alphabetical order at the back of the book "Class, Method and Field" and there is a black box on the right of the page to help you find this section (and all others) quickly.Flanagan says: "Part I of the book is a fast paced, "no fluff" introduction to the Java programming language and the core APIs of the Java platform. Part II is a quick-reference section that succinctly details most classes and interfaces of those core APIs. The book covers Java 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4."-better than Bruce Eckels 'ground up' Thinking In Java. you need know nothing of Java to start this book, only a very brief knowledge of object oriented programming and compiling but no knowledge of expressions or operators. if you want an introduction to OOP then type "java tutorial", dont click on the Sun ones, click on the .edu site ones- they seem to know people better and won's stereotype you or patronise you.-has comparisons with c and C++-fast paced lesson in Java (no "hello, world" program. much more mature)-my above quote sums it all up very nicely.i would have to give 4.5 fluffly animals out of 5 (but i cant) becuase i am a strong believer that all programming books should have test/ question pages in them, like maths books at school did. i keep forgetting things that i should know like operator precedence and because i have not learnt it (though i have read it) i repeatedly have to go back again and again. this is my only real criticism of the book. you'd never learn a thing in school maths if you didnt keep getting quizzed. maybe this book is too mature for me or maybe the writer forgets how people learn...

This book is a step back from previous editions in terms of usefullness. The class API reference no longer has the package names in the black boxes on page borders, which makes it impossible to quickly locate classes. Furthermore, the class package diagrams showing the reltionship between classes in a package are missing. This is very disappointing. On the positive side, the API referencedoes a good job of indicating which version of java classes and methods are available in. My other complaint is the size. 900+ pages is a bit more than a nutshell. I hope in the future the publisher splits up the content (perhaps an API reference and a feature tutorial) to keep the size manageable and adds back in the tabs and other essential parts of the API quick reference section.

If I was trapped in a desert cubicle and allowed only one Java book this would be it. I dig Sun's Javadocs that come with the SDKs, but Java in a Nutshell has proved invaluable to java developers. It is compact, easy to browse, and provides a very handy language/SDK guide. With each major release of J2SE. This edition is no exception:- most up to date coverage of SDK & language changes: - assertions - cryptography - XML processing - new IO facilities - logging - properties & preferences, - collections changesA quick search of Amazon yielded only one other book that is up to date for J2SE 1.4, and it was not a reference for experienced programmers. This nutshell reference is ahead of the pack.However, there have been a few changes to this edition that aren't popular with me. I was a big fan of the quasi-UML class diagrams on the first page of each package. Especially for the IO and Util (collections) packages, it was a great way to see the architecture of an entire package. I could find out at a glance who implements a certain interface, or to find a common ancestor class. These diagrams are gone. Instead of having one diagram for all the elements (interfaces, classes, exceptions) in a single package, the authors present a class diagram for each individual class and place it with each class' entry. To somewhat make up for this, the author has provided expanded narrative at the beginning of each package, hitting the highlights and providing an almost javadoc style listing of the elements contained in the package.I understand this was probably done for practical reasons. Some of the packages have grown very large with one or more subpackages (java.util being the biggest offender here) and diagrams for some of the packages wouldn't fit on the smaller pages of the Nutshell series. Irregardless, it a loss of key functionality for this edition.Lastly, the authors removed the singlemost important navigational tool of the previous editions: the thumb tabs on the margins of the pages indexed by package. These tabs made it very easy to quickly flip to the exact package you were looking for. In this edition you have to rely on the page footers for this information.Despite the small changes, this edition continues in the tradition of the Java in a Nutshell series: the most up to date java reference that is available on the market.

This book is very well written. I didn't fall asleep trying to get through it. The author held true to his commitment stated in the front of the book. I felt my money was well invested. I have spent a small fortune on computer books in the past. I will be sticking with O'Reilly as much as is possible for my future needs.I came from a C/C++, and Visual Basic background. The layout of the book made me feel at ease and was actually very interesting reading. It will also double as a wonderful reference for my future use.I was a little concerned at first about how the author would do teaching Java to a split audience -- newbies to Java coming from another language (like me) and to seasoned professionals. I was presently surprised. I never felt lost. If you are learning Java, or need a reference, get this book. Be sure to get the Java Foundation Classes related book too.Wayne

Feds investigate Granville Co. small plane crash
OXFORD, N.C. (AP) _ Federal officials are investigating the crash of small plane in Granville County that resulted in two people being taken to a hospital as precaution.
The sheriff's department says the plane came down late Thursday morning in a field near Oxford.
Authorities said the injuries weren't life-threatening. The pilot and passenger were taken to Granville Medical Center.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the Beech A23 single-engine plane took off from Oxford-Henderson Airport just after 10 a.m.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just to clarify he did not get retriever training. Retriever training is what this guy specialized in. However retriever training has incorporate the basics first at a high level of control.
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
The trainer we used was a really good retriever trainer. Highly recommend. A heeling stick is used in training to keep hunting dogs right at your side. When they inch forward or back you tap their chest or hip. I just don't understand why he listens to me and leaves my small kids alone but acts crazy with the wife wife and daughter. My small kids don't train him tey can barely talk lol. It can't be a size thing because they are obviously smaller then him.

I personally always monitor my pup around my kids (2,7) and correct her when she's doing something that she's not supposed to be doing. It took some times by she's a lot better at listening to them. I also have them train her. So my 2 almost 3 year old would grab some treats and tell her to do things and she would listen! My pup was very bad in the beginning jumping, bitting, tackling my 2 year old in the beginning and now it's almost completely gone. My suggestion is to keep working on corrections and praising while you are present w/wife, kids, and dog so he can continue to learn. He will get there

What is a heeling stick?
This is one of the reasons I really don't like send-away training. The whole point of training is so that the family and the dog learn to work together. I assume this training includes some sort of follow-up? Why not ask the trainer to come to your house and work with your wife and daughter?
Puppy overly excited with wife and daughter
My Boscoe is 6 months old. He just got back from training 2 weeks ago. He was taught all the basics and responds great off, even off leash, but only with me. My wife and 15 year daughter do not get the same results from him. He literally acts as if he on crack when they attempt to handle him. He pulls the lead, bites (nips) their feet. Tries to jump up on them. We all use a heeling stick because that is what the trainer used. All I have to do is put the stick in my hand an he falls right in line, them not so much. I have tired to work with them on their tone, posture, getting them to stop moving their feet when he is nipping, etc. nothing is working for them. Funny thing is I have a 2 year old and a 11 month old and since he has come back from training, he is completely docile with them, occasionally mouthing but that stops immediately with just a quick glance from me. Please help.. I fear that if they can't control him, in the same manner that I can, the we will have to give him away. This may sound silly, but is it something with him and women?

text: Hello everyone,Thanks for the welcome. Sorry to post back so late. I expected to see an emailed notification of replies to my post, but I didn't see any!@sawdstmakr: In the video you saw with Africanized bees that looked like Italians, were the hives fully developed/well populated? Small or weak Africanized hives (single brood chamber) usually are relatively mild. Once strong, however, the attack response is not like any Italians I have ever seen. My hives are about 200 yards from the house, which is plenty. They do need to be on separate bases, else any vibration from working one hive will infuriate other hives. I use concrete block bases about 8 feet apart.I'll post on the Africanized bees in a new thread. I hope to have time for that tomorrow. Rainy season is about to begin and we are up to our ears in farm work!

So I was trying out gamescampus's version of 9 Dragons, read the wiki a bit, and it struck me that this is an incredible mmo. It has RvR (me being an RvR fan) so it must be good !
But actually, im worried it is pay to win and i read that it is not quite finished with 3 of the 9 clans not really done. Either way, i love the gfx and the art and overall story styles. It is like stepping into a totally different world.
Anyone have any experiences with 9Dragons to share? I also like the mmohut review and the comments following it.

Speculative polar cartography
Guest commentary from Kevin Brown
The curious mismapping of Greenland's ice sheet cover by the venerable Times Atlas recently has excited a lot of outraged commentary. But few people noted that this follows an old tradition of speculative cartography of the polar regions. 'Modern' mapmakers as early as the 16th century combined real facts and scientific knowledge with fundamental misinterpretations of that knowledge to create speculative mappings of the world's unknown shores – and nowhere was this more prevalent than at the poles.
Early cartographers had a particularly difficult time mapping the Polar Regions. Factually, they based their maps on reports from mariners who dared sail the dangerous waters. This was supplemented by information from earlier maps, speculations based upon their personal theories of geography, religious beliefs, and the fiscal and political ambitions of their patrons.
The earliest specific map of the North Pole is Gerard Mercator's 1595 Septentrionalium Terrarum Descriptio ('Northern Lands Described', shown here is the 1606 edition). Mercator interprets a lost work known as the Inventio Fortunata ("The Fortunate Discovery"), which, though we don't know for certain, supposedly refers to early journeys to Iceland and the Faeroes in the 14th century. Complementing and interpreting the Inventio, Mercator added real geographic knowledge collected by explorers Martin Frobisher (1535-1594) and John Davis (1550-1605) (amongst others). Mercator used the Inventio description of lands and peoples, Frobisher and Davis's reports on currents, ice extent, and other elements, to compose this masterpiece of cartographic speculation.
At the North Pole Mercator placed a great mountain, the Rupes Nigra ("Black Rock") around which flows a mighty whirlpool (hence the strong currents recorded by Davis and Frobisher). From here four powerful rivers flow inward dividing a supposed Arctic continent into four distinct lands. Mercator referenced the Inventio to populate these lands with pygmies, Amazons, and other anomalies. Between Asia and America Mercator added another great sea mountain to which he ascribes magnetic properties. This mountain evolved from a pet theory devised by Mercator to explain magnetic variation. It is also noteworthy that the seas all around the poles are open and navigable – it is very likely Mercator had in mind the interests of royal patrons eager for a Northwest or Northeast Passage.

Billy Bob Holland's friend, Doc Voss, has been battling against a local mining company whose operations would severely threaten the area's economy. Despite Voss's best efforts, the mining interests make it clear that they will resort to any means to see that Voss backs off. What Billy Bob doesn't know is that one member of the pro-mining faction is Wyatt Dixon, a recent prison parolee intent on exacting revenge for his imprisonment and his sister's death, both events he believes were Billy Bob's doing. His apparent support of the mining company is merely a clever cover for his plan to silence Billy Bob for good.
©2012 James Lee Burke (P)2012 Simon & Schuster Audio
"James Lee Burke writes exceptionally clean, unforced prose that has a pronounced streak of poetry in it." (The New York Times)
I teach. I Listen. I trust your judgment as a fellow listener.
"Vacuous Characters in an Absence of Poetry"
Two of the most colorful characters in audio fiction are Dave Robicheaux and Cletus Purcel of James Lee Burke's Iberia Parrish. Contrast them with this novel's Billy Bob Holland and Doc Voss and the reader/listener of Bitterroot is left asking the question, "Why so flat?"
Holland and Voss might be good at slugging it out when pressed (or if the virtue of a female character has been besmirched), but their inept emotional responses to truly terrifying and painful traumas in the lives of loved ones makes them seem like a couple of dullards. Dave and Clete wear their emotions like tattoos on their biceps...that's what makes them compelling, particularly Clete whose "take no prisoners" response to threats on those he loves is raised to a unique art form.
Something else is missing from this story of Mafia Meets Western Motif; there is none of the painfully beautiful prose to describe the striking Montana landscape that listeners experience when they hear Burke's descriptions of Bayou Teche, Louisiana, or New Orleans (pre and post-Katrina). Montana may be a rugged and forested landscape in reality, but in Bitterroot it is a pancake-flat character. In Dave Robicheaux novels setting is character. In Bitterroot, Billy Bob, Doc, and the mountains from which the title derives are mere obstacles the reader must endure as he/she passes the hours waiting for the story to erode.
"Good Book - Narrator has Quirks"
I like all of James Lee Burke's books. The narrator for the Billy Bob Holland series is good but he has two odd quirks: 1-He can't pronounce words that end in "r-n" correctly. He says "Northerun," "Southerun," and "lanterun." Not a huge problem, but wierd. 2-He makes Lucas sound like a total moron. I keep waiting for him to say, "Tell me about the rabbits, George," or "Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?"
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"Big novel for the Big Sky!"
I find it impossible to stop listening to Burke's work. His characters are engrossing and his story telling is riveting.
As I've mentioned before, Tom Stechschulte is a fantastic narrator, just as good as Will Patton who reads most of Burke's more current works. This is the third novel in the Billy Bob Holland series. I actually tried to listen to the 2cd novel in the series called Heartwood, which is a favorite of the author, but the narrator's exaggerated southern accent was so convoluted I got a refund. It's a great illustration of how important the reader's performance is for any book.
This book and really the series is less violent and more thoughtful in mystery than the Robicheaux series.
The narrator distracted me from really enjoying this book. His mispronunciation of "slough" and "Raton " and "Clark's Fork" grated on my Northwest Wyoming ears.
I usually love his books and I am struggling to get thru part One not worth the effort will save until I am out of books and need to listen to something

Lesley instructor Juliana Texley is named president of the National Science Teachers Association, the world's largest professional science-teaching organization
Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Now, Dr. Texley has taken the helm of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the largest professional organization in the world promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all.
During her term as president, Texley is focusing on growing NSTA's membership, visiting as many state groups as she can, and building bridges with educators across all math, science and engineering disciplines.
"I thought there was a lot of good that I could do," said Texley, who teaches science in education at Lesley University's Graduate School of Education. "One hundred years ago, we never thought about dividing math and science. If you think about Galileo watching the chandelier swing, he didn't say 'Is this math, science, or engineering?' Children don't do that either. We teach them to divide things up. The adults do it because we think it's a little intimidating to teach all those subjects, but the more you work with the math teacher across the hall, the more you realize there is a lot in common."
Dr. Texley has been teaching at Lesley University for a decade. She has taught a number of online courses such as life science and a course titled "Investigating Equitable Science Classrooms," which examines ways to modify the curriculum for diverse students. This includes accounting for different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds as well as learning styles and disabilities.
"'Equity' is a lovely course in which my students learn the methods for researching an educational problem, and it prepares them for doing a greater project later in their careers," she explains. "I love the Lesley students. They are very professional and so inspiring in their approach and commitment to education."
Dr. Nicole Weber, director of Lesley's online Science in Education master's program, says Texley is not only an asset to Lesley students, but to the entire program.
"Juliana Texley is a cornerstone of the program. She has an incredible grasp of what's going on in science education and at other universities, and she realizes Lesley has a real niche with engineering education and supports that," says Weber. "And she's chosen to be with us, which is really a gift to the program and the university."
Adds Texley, "Our department was probably the first in the nation to infuse engineering into all the courses. I'm very proud that Lesley is way ahead on this."
Dr. Texley has been a science teacher for nearly 30 years, including service as assistant superintendent and superintendent of the Anchor Bay School District in Michigan. In addition to Lesley, Texley teaches at Palm Beach State College and Central Michigan University. She has also worked with various stakeholder groups on the Next Generation Science Standards to develop a curriculum for JASON/National Geographic.
"Dr. Texley will make an outstanding president this year," according to Dr. David Evans, NSTA executive director. "We look forward to her leadership, and being able to share her experience, innovative ideas, and her passion for science with NSTA members and with the larger science education community."
Texley has been a member of NSTA for more than three decades and is serving a one-year term as president. Based in Arlington, VA, NSTA has approximately 55,000 members, Learn more about her role and her career here.
