NEW ORLEANS - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced Thursday the six coaches who will be inducted into the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame as the Class of 2013. Ron Allice, Al Cantello, Dennis Craddock, Curtis Frye, Jim Hunt and Paul Olsen have all made a significant impact on the history of track & field at the collegiate, national and international levels through their coaching and the legacies of their student-athletes and will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame for their accomplishments.
These six men will be honored at the 2013 USTFCCCA Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Monday, December 16, at the USTFCCCA Convention in Orlando, Fla. The full announcement from the USTFCCCA can be found here.
"I never expected it," said Dennis Craddock after he received word of the announcement, "I'm certainly shocked and pleased and surprised and excited, all those words that we can throw in there. When you start out in this profession as a young man or young woman you never dream of something like this happening to you. I just can't, I really can't put into words how much it means to me to be recognized by coaches and friends, people who supported me all these years."
"One things that has always been important to me, no matter who you are, whether you're a CEO or president of a major company or starting as a student-athlete, is that you never do it by yourself," Craddock added, "It always comes with help from other people. I'd certainly like to thank those people who helped me, coaches, assistant coaches, administrators, friends, and athletes - everyone who helped me in my 45 years as a coach. It's a real team effort. I'm very honored."
"I am extremely proud the USTFCCA has decided to induct Coach Craddock into the Hall of Fame," said head coach Harlis Meaders, who competed under Craddock 1989-92. "In addition to all of the accolades that Coach Craddock achieved in the profession he has served as a role model and a father figure to so many but especially to me. It is a tremendous honor to be honored by the association but beyond the honor, he is and will always be loved by Tar Heels across the globe."
With 44 years of coaching between the collegiate and high school levels, Craddock has amassed a legendary resume that includes two women's NCAA cross country team titles (1981, '82), a women's indoor NCAA team title (1982), and an unparalleled 45 ACC team titles via coaching tenures at Virginia and North Carolina.
His nine seasons at Virginia built the foundations for what would become an all-time great career, as his 1981 women's cross country team recorded an NCAA Championships-record winning score of just 36 points, with four finishers in the top 12 and seven All-America honorees. The 1982 squad again claimed the title, this time with 48 points - the second-lowest score in NCAA women's history - led by winner and ACC individual champion Lesley Welch and three other All-Americans. His men's teams also found success at the national level with a fifth place finish in 1984. A combined 16 women's and three men's cross country All-America honors were earned under his watch.
In between the two women's cross country titles came an indoor national title in 1982 that featured a staggering 17 All-America performances - a large portion of the 45 indoor All-America honors his women earned along with nine outdoor awards. The men claimed 14 total track & field All-America certificates.
Craddock's women's teams went on to win the first three ACC outdoor titles after the conference began to sponsor the sport in 1983. His men's outdoor teams finished runner-up twice during his tenure and no worse than fourth.
He made the move to Chapel Hill in 1986 to become the head coach of North Carolina for 27 years, where he mentored 25 individual Tar Heel student-athletes to a combined 38 individual NCAA titles and coached 19 Olympians who went on to claim five gold and two bronze medals.
Prior to Craddock's arrival at North Carolina, the Tar Heel women had not yet won an ACC title; Craddock changed that quickly and in a big way. His women's teams would go on to win 15 indoor ACC titles and 14 outdoor titles, while his men's teams won two indoor titles and four outdoor crowns. In the period between 1988 and 2004, Craddock's women's team claimed indoor titles in all but two seasons and took the outdoor title in all but three. Craddock was named the 1994 NCAA Coach of the Year for his successes with the women's and men's track and field programs at Carolina.
His women's teams swept the cross country, indoor and outdoor ACC titles in both 1994-95 and 2003-04, a feat not yet accomplished by any other women's program in conference history. The 1994-95 campaign was particularly special, as the women claimed all three ACC titles and the men swept the track & field championships.
His Carolina track & field teams were also successful at the national level, as the women finished top-10 14 times (9 indoor/5 outdoor) at the NCAA Championships and the men accomplished that feat six times (4 outdoor/2 indoor). The women finished fourth overall twice indoors, while the men finished as high as fourth outdoors in 1996.
He served as a head coach of the Gretna and Albemarle (Va.) High School track and field teams for eight years before entering the college ranks. His high school teams compiled a 117-8 dual meet record, claimed three state crowns, and produced four individual national champions. Craddock was named the Virginia High School Coach of the Year in 1975.
Carolina's 20 national individual titles coached under Craddock include: Allen Johnson (1992, 55-meter hurdles); Ken Harnden (1995, 400-meter hurdles); Milton Campbell, Harnden, Tony McCall and Henry McKoy (1995, 4x400); Monique Hennagan (1996, 400 meters and 800 meters); Eric Bishop (1996 and 1997, high jump); Shalane Flanagan (2002 and 2003, cross country; 2003, 3000 meters); Laura Gerraughty (2003, 2004 indoors and outdoors and 2006 shot put); Vikas Gowda (2006, discus); Justin Ryncavage (2006 and 2007, javelin); Brie Felnagle (2007, 1500 meters); and Felnagle, Tyra Johnson, Kaltenbach and Kloss (2007, distance medley relay).
Craddock is a 1965 graduate of Ferrum College, where he played football and was named captain and MVP of the track and field team. After two years at Ferrum, Craddock earned his bachelor's degree at Lynchburg College. He is also an inductee in the Ferrum College Sports and Lynchburg College Athletics Halls of Fame. Craddock was named Man of the Year in 1975 by the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce for his work in the community and with his church in honor of his commitments to the town and his family.
Craddock retired from UNC in June 2012, soon after being awarded the Priceless Gem as Carolina's top honor. He and his wife, Faye, have three children and six grandchildren. Faye also worked in the UNC athletic department before retiring.
Started in 1995, the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame exists to recognize coaches who have brought great distinction to themselves, to their institutions and to the sports of cross country & track & field. Each of the honorees exemplifies the qualities of dedication to the sport, leadership and passion for their profession that serve as an inspiration to coaches everywhere in the sport.
The full USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame and information on all of its past inductees can be found here.

My phone was busy this morning (Tuesday, May 17) with fans and friends calling me about the line forming outside the Michigan Athletic Ticket Office.
A few had concerns about the deadline for football tickets, and others were just curious as to why everyone was gathering. What they were told was probably unexpected. Today's line was for the Michigan softball season ticket holders as they made their way to the ticket office for their NCAA Regional tickets.
The line formed early, and the people waiting for these tickets were the fans who have appreciated the winning ways of the Wolverine softball team and know this might be the best sports value for the money in the Greater Detroit area.
The stats are easy to recite:
- The 17th consecutive NCAA appearance for Michigan;
- Jordan Taylor is one of -- if not -- the best pitchers in the nation;
- Carol Hutchins has the most wins of any coach in Michigan athletic history;
- The Michigan program was the first softball team east of the Mississippi to win a national title
Still, stats alone don't bring fans to an event. The reason they come is simple: these games are fun.
In today's hectic-paced individual schedule, softball is played in two hours or less. Fans are right on top of the field. They can listen and get a feel for the game. And they are watching the best players in the game go against each other in a double-elimination tournament format.
Once a teams loses two games, it is out.
The site, the sounds and the atmosphere is college athletics at its best. The best reason is the top priced tickets are only $12 for a session.
This is the 10th straight year U-M will host an NCAA Regional. The public sale for the regional tickets begins Wednesday (May 18).
The Michigan action starts Friday night (May 20) when it hosts Western Michigan at 8 p.m. at the Wilpon Softball Complex. Notre Dame and Kentucky kick off the four-team tourney at 5:30 p.m. On Saturday beginning at noon, three games will be played. The NCAA Regional championship game(s) are Sunday starting at 1 p.m.
If you have never attended a U-M softball game, you need to go at least once. And with the weather finally getting better, this would be a great weekend to see for yourself why 2,000-plus fans will be out in force each day to enjoy one of the best collegiate events.
Go Blue!

Supposedly, movie theatres use coconut oil to make their popcorn so tasty! I never knew that. I immediately whipped out our Whirley Pop and put in 3 tbsp. coconut oil plus 1/2 cup of popcorn. Soon, the smell of popcorn filled the air, and it wasn't the normal smell of when I make popcorn. Oh no, it smelled just like movie popcorn. I kid you not.
Following the guidelines of the recipe, I drizzled it with some melted butter and salt after it was popped, and then dished out bowls for myself and the boys. And you know what? It tasted just like movie popcorn. That decadent combination of salt, butter, popcorn and...coconut oil!

Be Like Water - Aurora Robson
Exhibition Dates: 4/16/2011 - 11/27/2011
Aurora Robson draws attention to several important issues through her ethereal explorations.
Her dreams are the wellspring for much of her work, but so too, is the philosophy and martial art of Bruce Lee, who said,"Don't get set into one form. Adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water... you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
The environment also holds special meaning to the artist, especially the ocean that was an integral part of her childhood in Hawaii.
She is the founder of an organization called Project Vortex, an international group of artists, whose work using reclaimed plastic draws attention to the wasted material that continually ends up in the world's oceans.
To find out more about the artist, you can visit her website.

'The Sabres have grossed $1.1 million more this season than at this point in the 2003-4 season. Quinn also said paid attendance is "way up" but could not remember the exact numbers so declined to give a number for fear of giving a wrong figure. Quinn also said the franchise gave away a lot of tickets when they were owned by the Rigas family and Adelphia communications. This hurt the franchise's business as the number of free tickets devalued them to the general public. Quinn said the team is very happy with ticket sales, revenues and the response to the team from people in Buffalo.'

Diagnosing Food Allergies
Food allergies continue to be a problem in the pediatric population and I often get calls or see a patient for an office visit with a parent who has a concern that their child "may have" reacted to something they ate. Their question is, are they allergic?
There is a great resource for physicians entitled "The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States". Not all adverse reactions to foods are allergic and it sometimes takes a bit of "detective work", which is a good history and physical exam, to begin to determine if a child has a food allergy.
So, when a parent tells me that their child gets a rash on their chin or cheek after eating "xyz" food the questions begin. Was it the first time they had ever been exposed to that food? Describe the rash and how the child was acting? Did they have other symptoms with the rash? Was the rash just on a cheek or was it all over? Was it hives? This list of questions go on and on.
The most common food allergens are egg, milk, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, shellfish and soy. I also ask if this was a one time occurrence, and If they have tried the food again did it happen every time? Many times hard to tease out what a child has had to eat when they have a mish-mash of food on their plate and nothing is new!
Is there a family history of allergy or asthma? Does your child have eczema as well? If so there is a greater chance of developing a food allergy.
After a detailed history, and if I do think that the child has a good history for a food allergy, there are tests (skin prick and blood) that may help determine if an allergy may exist. BUT, with that being said, there are several caveats. Number one, your doctor should not test for "every" food allergen, only for the suspected food or foods, as there are many false positive tests when you just check all of the boxes for testing IGE levels for an allergy. For example, if your child eats eggs and has had no problem but the IGE level comes back a bit high for egg allergy, what does that really mean? In other words, I just test for the suspected culprit. So, I do not test for tree nuts if the parents only had concerns with a peanut product. More to come on this topic.

Hi all,
I'm wanting to teach in Beijing and was hoping if anyone could give me any tips on how to find a teaching job in Beijing. I have a degree with no previous teaching experience, but I'm hoping to start a TEFL course in the next month or so.
Is it possible to get a teaching job in Beijing without a TEFL certificate?
I'll be grateful if anyone could give me any advice on this issue.
many thanks

Re: CrossProduct[ ]
There seems to be a misunderstanding about CrossProduct[ ] in
Calculus`VectorAnalysis`. In particular, when the default coordinate
system is Cylindrical (or anything but Cartesian) this refers to
the global coordinate system. Grad[ ] gives results in terms of the
local, infinitesimal coordinate system which is NOT Cylindrical,
but rather Cartesian. Thus when you use CrossProduct[ ] (or DotPrduct[ ]
or ScalarTripleProduct[ ]) with vectors from the local, infinitesimal
coordinate system, you need to specify that you are refering to a
Cartesian coordinate system:
In[1]:= <<Calculus`VectorAnalysis`
In[2]:= SetCoordinates[Cylindrical]
Out[2]= Cylindrical[r, theta, z]
In[3]:= CrossProduct[Grad[r], Grad[theta], Cartesian]
Out[3]= {0, 0, -}
It could well be argued that this is a misfeature. Does one ever
want to take the cross product of vectors in anything other than
a Cartesian system? If so how often? Should the default be
Cartesian with the ability to specify something else? I can
easily change this, but it is not the sort of mathematics that I
use and I don't know what the default should be.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
You've probably all seen this, but I just found it and cannot stop reading it. It's at arachnoid dot com slash sailbook (I still can't post a link.)
It's an ebook called *Confessions of a Long-Distance Sailor*, and it's an account of a software developer going around the world on his boat - like we hope to be. I'm completely caught up in it. He goes into great detail about what his life's like, what breaks, what's great, anchorage tales - all kinds of things. Have any of you read it? If so what do you think of it?
On Amazon, there are two *Occupation Navigator* books listed by Lars Hassler. One is *Occupation Navigator: Sailing Around the World* - out of print but available used, and the other is *Occupation Navigator: How to Finance a Lifestyle. 10 Years on the Seven Seas with S/Y Jennifer - which is out of print and unavailable. I've ordered the available one, and will keep an eye out for the other. The covers are different, but the blurbs sound similar enough that they may be different editions of the same book.
I eagerly await its arrival.
I'm certainly not above chartering. I enjoyed working on the charter schooner a *LOT* - I think it was my favorite job ever. Don't want to sound like I'm ruling anything out completely.
@hellosailor - Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. Is this where I'll find out info on charter regulations for rebuilding boats?
@tubatooter1940 - Do you have any pics? I'd love to see them and I heard somewhere that they're much liked by the sailnet denizens! Is it really true that the sound of waves slapping against the hull is very different than the sound of fiberglass or metal? I bet she was gorgeous!
Thank you all for your replies here. I'm floored by the wealth of knowledge you are willing to share and how valuable it is!
It took me five years and 20,000 hours to completely rebuild a 19 foot wooden sloop. I made many new friends who helped me and sailed this little jewel for 17 years. When it was time for another major rebuild, I gave it away to a younger sailor who had stars in his eyes like I did. If you love a particular boat enough, the huge investment of money and time may be worth it. It was for me because I used the heck out of it, it looked like a goldplater from the past and sailed like a witch.
Lee, any time you want to check title, sale, or registration laws, look for the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on the web. If they're not in charge of boats in that state--they'll have a reference to the right department. There's nothing like getting the hard facts from the people who enforce them, to clear things up in a hurry.
And, by the way, NJ has become apparerntly the first state in the US to require proof of proficiency from ANY boater coming into state waters. You need either a NJ boater's card, or one from your own home state. No more exemptions for folks born before a certain date, or just passing through.
You may find reading "Occupation Circumnavigator" by Lars Hassler a useful resource.
I know you said you were not interested in chartering but building and selling. Lars had a brand new boat built and kept track of his costs while sailing it for 10 years.
Very interesting read. Give you an idea of the cost of things.
Take your time, and watch for the Perfect one for you.
Stay in touch here and post Lots of pics,, we like Pics
they take up lots of space, so we dont have to Read so much
Thanks for the input. These are wise words indeed and I appreciate that you took the time to reply.
We can pretty much cover everything, including electrical, but excluding diesel. I grew up in a fiberglass factory, my father-in-law and I can do woodwork, I've run electrical on a very large boat (motor) and houses. What I think would be the bee's knees would be to find something that has woodwork that would cause a lot of pain for others to do. We can do exquisite woodwork and that would probably wind up being our trademark. We also have some unfair advantages like access to some great rapid prototyping machines to do inlays.
This thread has been very helpful for us to not only narrowly escape a nasty situation, but also help us focus on where our strengths are. We only need one boat to start with. Somewhere there's a perfect one that has badly degraded woodwork, electrical and fiberglass that needs some love.
Thank you all so much!
"Hurricane" boats
I live in East Texas. Between here and the coast and east to Florida there are plenty left over from Rita and Ike and Katrina. Some of them are nice boats. Having said that ALL of them require skill sets that you either have or don't. I know of a few that were reclaimed by people who knew what they are doing and they are fine. BUT the people who bought and restored the boats have little or no need to pay other people for repairs. If you can do fiberglass work, engine work, weld, sew chshions, paint, and are an above average rigger then you couyld probably find a good hull (and yes it may have holes in it) and a year or so later have a completed boat that costs a tenth of what it was worth before the hurricane. However, if you have to hire out any of the work then that is going to drastically change the value of the boat to you. If you pay $1000 for a nice 40 foot hull but can't do any of the work youcould probably find a good boat with few or no problems sitting in a slip somethere for less money than paying someone else to restore one. And keep in mind that the costs of renovation go up exponentially according to the size of the boat. A couple of thousand dollars on a 23 footer is not bad; $300K on a 65 footer would bankrupt most folks.
|I dont know What those engines are, but it looks like TOAST, and to replace them could run you Over $12,000 Each, and thats Not getting Those out or the New ones in... it looks like it would make a nice Burning man sorta thingy :-( sorry..
Hi Denise, thanks for asking. We're in Boston right now but may head down to Ft Lauderdale for the winter. We spend a lot of time wherever our clients are. If we can keep our clientele on the East Coast, we might be able to liveaboard and move from project to project. With that being said, we love the West coast too and have clients there as well. (I'd especially love to sail around San Francisco.) Each project takes the better part of a year for the type of site we build. (They're social networks and prototype web applications.)
I'm guessing also from the following post that the no-title state thing that the seller was saying is in error? How does it work then? (He said that CT, PA, WI and Arkansas were all no-title states where the ownership was transferred with a bill of sale.)
Once again, I'm grateful I found you guys.
Thanks again,
Boat is sold with an Arkansas Bill of Sale only. Arkansas is my home state and it is a no-title state which registers boats only with a bill of sale and not with a title. The boat is currently registered in Arkansas as a 2009 "special construction vessel" (owner built) since I was planning to re-build it as a newly remodeled vessel in an 1990s hull. As a home built Bruce Roberts design vessel you will need to apply for a title in your home state as an owner built vessel or use the bill of sale to obtain a new title if you live in a state that requires titles. This is the standard process for all of the owner built Bruce Roberts boats. In your own state you will probably have the option of registering it as a newly constructed boat or one the same age as the hull, depending on your preference.
NO NO thats not how it works
Is it from Nigera

Total newbie vs. old (planted ]:) tank syndrome in my 10g
1 Attachment(s)
After months of reading this forum off and on (mostly during the honeymoon stage of the tank - AFTER buying it, plants, fish, NOT CYCLING, etc.) I decided to see if you lovely folks could help give me a place to start on rebooting my poor pitiful tank.
This is my first tank that contained something other than goldfish and gravel. I am scientifically challenged, but I can learn - slowly. So instead of completely giving up this poor tank, I'm going to try this again to as a kind of practical science experiment - but I have no clue where to start other than lots of water changes for now and lighting. I am young and broke for the most part, but I don't mind buying the right stuff for the tank after I am 100% sure it's the best product/value etc.
Okay. I'm working with:
10 gal tank with stock filter
Marineland Visi Therm Heater - 50w
2 6" 10w Coralife Colormax bulbs in hood
Eco-complete Substrate
3 slowly dying, unidentified plants (boyfriend bought & forgot names)
3 awful ugly guppies - one female & two fry
We ignored this tank for months, and now I'm doing 25-50% water changes with gravel vac every other day and being more reliable about keeping the light on for about 10 hr a day. I want to stabilize the water and current plants and although the tank has been set up for over a year, it was way overpopulated, neglected, etc and I'm not sure if it has okay levels of nitrifying bacteria. Should I ditch the fish to cycle? And as far as lighting goes, is fancy looking LED lighting worth it, or should I just try better bulbs in the hood? I wan't to keep it low-tech but I want plants to actually grow!
Yikes. That's a lot. Any starting points are appreciated.
No advice, unfortunately, as I'm pretty much in your shoes. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, though. Good luck!
I'd start by searching the site here and identifying what you want your tank to look like first.
Then get the equipment- better lighting, driftwood or rocks or whatever, some CO2 (even DIY is cheap and easy and effective), ferts, and then get the plants that match the tank you want. And presto!! just wait and let the tank grow! (the waiting is the worst part)
check out this thread http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=99729
the tanks with only 2-3 types of plants I think look very clean and take a lot of the thinking out of the process:)
Keep everything as is, get a kit to test ammonia nitrites and nitrates. Or go to ur lfs and get the water tested. If you have no ammonia, or nitrites in the water you have a mostly cycled tank. Then you only need to fix ur plants. Those bulbs are great unless they're more than a year old. Figure out which plants you have and then go look in the sticky forr the low light low tech plant discussion. Those plants are perfect for your tank. You don't need to add much of anything else other than to probably reduce nitrates and get more compatible plants.
Btw it seems you have java fern, java moss, and some small crypt. They are good low tech plants, be sure to pull the rhizomes of the java fern out of the substrate so it is not covered. The rhizome is the stem part where the leaves and roots sprout from. Get co2 only if you want to. But most recommended is that you should get a mechanical timer to control the lighting. They should be 6 bucks or so at a hardware store.

I forgot one thing, if your filter only has one insert and nothing to keep the beneficial bacteria in between filter changes, then dont change it and only ever rinse it in tank water during water changes.

Those look like some type of java fern to me so first thing first - dig them out from your substrate. The rhizomes need to be exposed for java ferns to survive which might explain why they're dying. You'll usually see them attached to rocks or driftwood. You can bury them but make sure the rhizomes are exposed at the very least. The other thing looks like moss which is fine as is or you can tie the java moss to a rock or driftwood so that it just isn't a floating ball :P
The good news is those are low-light plants and don't really need a lot in terms of maintenance and care. They will grow as soon as you pay a little attention to them first! Honestly, I would just do a 50% water change (and fill the tank up, you have so much room at the top), re-plant the java fern properly, maybe do something with the moss, and let it sit for a few days to a week and see how it goes. As for the guppies, I'm not sure. I only deal with shrimp for now.
In terms of decor, I bought my river rocks from Petsmart for $1 a bag. I got like 5 really nice rocks from it. I still might have a manzanita branch or two I can send you if I find them ... they're ... somewhere ...
You have great stuff for a low-tech start with low-light plants. You just need to put a little love into it, that's all! :)
Thank you all so much!
-I don't think I'm ready to even think about CO2 yet. I'm sure I will eventually, once I get the hang of the basics.
-Uprooted the java fern! I had no idea what it was or what it needed. Hope that helps. Thanks for helping identify the plants! The names sound vaguely familiar from buying them at the LFS...
-Tested water at LFS. Near perfect.
-Added hornwort (temporarily?) and water sprite to fill in spots. And a banana plant, just for kicks.
-Forgot to pick up a timer, definitely need to keep the light on more/more regularly.
A couple more newbie questions -
1. Should I trim off brown areas on the java fern?
2. I don't have a very well-planted tank, or very many fish. Is fertilizer something I should be thinking about at all?
Hopefully stuff grows this time! Thank you all, I feel like this tank is way less... doomed...
You have good substrate, so dont worry about ferts unless the plants show yellowing and other problems. Go ahead and stock new fish slowly. You can go onto aquadvisor and check to see if theres any fishes you want. After that, watch your plants grow and your fish thrive. Change water every week and you should be fine. Look into aquascaping if you want to get more advanced into the hobby.

I have a 10 gallon tank with the same gravel (it's too big, an early mistake, but I'm just letting it go until I'm ready to do soil&sand), similar Hang-On-The-Back (HOB) filter.
I would bring up the water level to a level so the filter doesn't cascade any more, and clean or replace the bulbs with probably 8 watt Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs (twirly bulb) and clean that great reflector you've got (I think I saw one in your pic.) And you need more plants, like a good bunch of planted Water Sprite (the kind with roots to be planted) which will grow well. For now, don't get the floating kind which would cut down on the light on the rest of the plants below.
Idk about your fish. I wouldn't add any more fish until your tank has more plants in it.
The good news is the plants you have in the tank are virtually unkillable. If you want to see real growth though, the single most important thing is lighting. Your current plants do not need ferts or co2, just give them a steady amount of light per day and change the water occasionally. I don't know the exact kind of bulbs you have, but the kind you want are "Daylight" bulbs that you can find at almost any store. The bulbs in the range of 6500-6700K are the perfect color temperature. You're on the right track with the timer, it will make everything way easier.
The key is to be consistent. All your plants will be fine. Hornwort is a weed and will grow like crazy anywhere. Tie your java fern to a rock or a piece of sinking wood with fishing line and it will thank you. Then just add fish as you see fit. Fish are good for the plants and the plants are good for the fish, it's a beautiful thing.

Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.

Certified Jewellery
The Importance of Certification: The value of a precious stone is determined by its gemological makeup, natural rarity and finished quality. Diamonds and gemstones of similar appearance can have important differences in value. Even experts need powerful analytic tools to detect synthetics, treatments and enhancement processes. A Certificate clearly discloses the details of any item it accompanies, providing confidence for both buyer and seller. Gemstones should only change hands when accompanied by a certificate attesting to quality. Regardless of location or marketplace, an authentic Laboratory Report is the common language of trust and confidence in the gemological world, and should be considered an essential part of any transaction. We take this responsibility very seriously.

text: Agreed. We need a better system of developing guys. Right now, there is a prevalent sense of having the players overcome obstacles in order to be great players. It's like the weeder course in college. If you can't hack it at the 101 level, we don't need you in our program. The thing with this is the 101 weeder course is pretty easy when the team sucks but impossible if its in championship mode. There was no way ANY of the 1000 SFs we drafted would beat out Tayshaun. There has to be a mechanism. The NBA doesn't have a farm system but it should. Just like advanced stats. It took a while but teams are adopting it with a fair amount of success. I don't think JD should be on the floor talking to the guys too much. He can bring in people to do that. He needs to have that blackberry on speaker phone in the conference room so he can deal Stuckey while eating a tub of popcorn and a colossal coke.


text: I ran into these clips of extreme skating. I've never seen this kind of skating before. Some of it looks exciting: One of the clips shows skating on head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCPcuFI7Bzs All this led to a performance which I quite enjoyed (it even had the forbidden Candeloro spin I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&feature=iv&src_vid=k9PiStLMcF0&v=vdV2TEgD4LE Some people were loving these vids while trashing figure skating in the comments section, claiming it's always Carmen with 6 jumps and some arms waiving in between, sounds like they haven't properly watched skating. Perhaps they should watch people like Beacom. Besides, the amazing 'Patin Libre' still do have 'normal' figure skating moves too, even the Candeloro spin. Is that spin still forbidden in ISU competitions by the way? What was it all those years ago? It wasn't allowed in competitions anymore because it was on the knees if I remember well. Anyway, another clip from days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eki6gvsETFA&list=UUV0GBliEBz3yTDLTdynFJcw&index=2

Thomas Vermaelen believes Olivier Giroud will open his Arsenal account sooner rather than later.
The French forward has impressed in his first few appearances for the Gunners, showing intelligent movement and a willingness to engage with the Premier League's more physical side. He has come close to scoring on several occasions, and his captain is certain that the floodgates will open before long.
Speaking in his notes for Saturday's Official Matchday Programme, Vermaelen said: "I'm convinced Olivier will be off the mark soon. It's not as if he has had an easy start - he didn't get much time against Sunderland, and then played in two tough away games.
"He won a lot of duels in those matches, and it's a vital quality when you're away from home - if we don't see a solution, we can sometimes play a longer ball to him in the knowledge that he works hard and is strong in the air.
"He's made some good runs and has been a bit unfortunate not to score so far, but he's got into the positions so I'm not worried about him at all. The goals will come."
Meanwhile, Vermaelen believes that hard work his paying off at the other end of the field - with the Gunners looking to make it four clean sheets out of four when Southampton come to town.
"I think you can see, particularly from the away games at Stoke and Liverpool, that the whole team - not just the defence, but every area - is working really hard at shape and organisation," he said.
"It's one of the main aspects of football, and we've been putting a lot of effort into getting it right."

No deal: USNH needs real reform
As Pamela Diamantis, vice chairman of the board of trustees, told state elected officials on Monday: "With full funding, we will freeze tuition, nearly double financial aid and continue to develop partnerships with employers and the community college system to implement innovative paths to degree completion." That is a paltry offering legislators should reject out of hand.
The tuition freeze is for only two years. Why would taxpayers commit $100 million for a two-year tuition freeze when state community colleges had their state aid cut and still froze tuition?
Partnerships with businesses and community colleges bring in revenue. Universities will pursue them anyway.
Doubling financial aid sounds compassionate. But it allows colleges to justify keeping their sticker prices inflated.
Any restoration of state funding should be contingent upon substantial operating cost reductions and reforms that make the USNH system more competitive, not on feel-good measures designed to avoid deeper changes.

Tuned to a southern Indian scale, comes with a CD of original music.
The Woodstock Meditation Chime was listed as one of 9 Mother's Day gift ideas on the Peaceful Daily blog by Huffington Post contributor Sandy Henson Corso.

Eli Pariser:
Beware online "filter bubbles"
As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.

Hi everyone, im currently in the process of dedicating parts of my life to building a boba fett costume. here is the snag im in atm.... im confused as to which way to go with ESB, ROTJ or ROTJ se. i think the ESB and ROTJ se are the same? so im kinda leaning towards the latter.
the next problem i have is finding where i can get an unpainted helmet.... i have emailed the following makers; fettpride and bobamaker... the latter quoted me 439 pounds,
the helmet alone is 225 pounds,
but his price list on his website says 150 pounds.... doesn't make sense hey? anyway i converted the currency to $au and its way out of budget!!
im looking at well over $400 au. i just dont get it! i am hoping that fettpride gets back to me with a more resonable price...... but i guess thats not being realistic..... (sigh)
advice please! :fettrotj :(

With Star Lotulelei still on the board, the Carolina Panthers took all of 30 seconds to announce they were snagging him with their first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
There was no need for a debate. The Panthers had been to the well often enough to know the water was good.
Lotulelei was the first defensive tackle the Panthers have ever selected in the first round, but the fourth Ute they have drafted, joining offensive lineman Jordan Gross (first round, No. 8, 2003) and receiver Steve Smith (third round, 74th overall, 2001). Defensive back R.J. Stanford was taken in the seventh round (223rd overall) in 2010 before moving on to Miami.
Other Utah players who have had stints in Carolina are receiver Kevin Dyson (1998) and defensive tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu (2002).
So, what gives? How did Utah, a school still striving to make its mark in a BCS league, become a feeder school for an NFC South squad?
Manny Hendrix, who serves as Utah's director of athletic relations, said Carolina's front-office personnel know what they are going to get when they draft a Utah player.
He saw that recently when Carolina reps came to watch Lotulelei work out. At the same time, Smith, who was in town to receive an award, was working out at Utah's facility.
The Panthers were surprised to see Smith, but the chance meeting in the presence of Lotulelei also served as a juxtaposition of past success with Utah athletes and a possible future.
"They know how Utah prepares its athletes and they know what they are going to get," Hendrix said. "They know the guys' work ethics and they know they are going to be well-prepared. When they were here, they talked about how much they liked Star. Smith told them, too, 'You're going to get a good one.' "
While there is a lot that is random in the way organizations build their NFL teams with acquisitions depending on needs, draft positions and salaries when a program has success with a player, there is a tendency to go back to that school time and time again.
Carolina officials downplayed the trend, noting three different general managers have presided over the drafts of Utah players. But Charlie Dayton, the Panthers' director of communications, said Carolina has had a positive experience with Utah players.
"Not only have they excelled on the field, but Steve and Jordan have been most active in the community," he said.
While the Panthers have some high-profile Utes, Carolina isn't the only team tapping the Utah well. Miami and Pittsburgh are other organizations that have rosters peppered with Utes.
Pittsburgh has drafted 11 players from Utah, including Chris Kemoeatu in the sixth round in 2005 and Stevenson Sylvester in the fifth round of the 2010 draft. Miami has drafted nine Utah players, including Paul Soliai in the fourth round of the 2006 draft, Sean Smith in the second round of the 2009 draft and Koa Misi in the second round of the 2010 draft.
Miami's current roster also includes cornerback R.J. Stanford and defensive end Derrick Shelby. Offensive lineman Sam Brenner has joined the Dolphins as a free agent, and return specialist Reggie Dunn has joined Pittsburgh as a free agent.
Miami general manager Jeff Ireland said Utah has a good reputation among the pros for turning out NFL-ready players.
"They are well-coached and they have big upsides," he said. "They develop their players well there, and you know what you are going to get. As a result, they are able to make the adjustment to the NFL pretty quickly."
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham believes the Utes' success keeps interest in the program on the radar as well, even as it is trying to adjust to a major step up in conference competition.
"We've had a lot of success with Utah players there," he said of Carolina. "Hopefully they know our players are going to work hard and be prepared to play."
As for Lotulelei, Utah defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake said there couldn't be a better place than Charlotte for the big-time player who has little need for attention.
He believes Charlotte is just the kind of place in which Lotulelei will thrive, on the field and off it.
"Can you imagine if he was in a big market like New York?" Sitake said. "Charlotte is a good fit, a good market for him. He is married, and he doesn't care about the spotlight or attention, and that is the kind of mentality they have. They'll let him do his work and stay out of his way."

Department of Homeland Security Stockpiling Ammo and Mine Resistant Vehicles? (VIDEO)
Is the Department of Homeland Security stockpiling ammo and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAPs) vehicles? The answer, well, yes to the former and no to the latter.
Blogger Thirdpower over at Days of our Trailers has done much of the legwork on this (you can read his take here), but Ill recap the findings below.
So, in March Guns.com reported that ATK, a supplier of aerospace and defense products, announced that it had been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS, ICE) for .40 caliber ammunition.
The agreement has a floor of 12 months, includes four optional years, and will have a maximum volume of 450 million rounds, according to the press release.
"We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE," said Ron Johnson, President of ATK's Security and Sporting group. "The HST is a proven design that will continue to serve those who keep our borders safe."
HST bullets are designed for law enforcement and ATK has said they offer "optimum penetration for terminal performance." This, of course, refers to the bullets hollow-point tip that passes through a variety of barriers and expands for a bigger impact, which helps limit collateral damage and over-penetration.
+ YouTube Video
As mentioned in the video, theres also a report that the DHS has an open bid for rifle ammo. In particular, the department is looking to purchase 175 million rounds of .223 ammo. This solicitation is posted on the federal business opportunities network website.
While theres plenty of evidence to suggest the DHS is hoarding ammo, theres little, if any, evidence to suggest theyre acquiring MRAPs.
Blogger Badux from Snarky Penguin blog sifted through the DHSs info at the Federal Procurement Data System on April 3 (the latest date for which info was available) and found nada as it related to orders for MRAPs.
So anyhow: On a scale of zero to 100, I put the likelihood of DHS buying thousands of MRAP's at somewhere between zero to 1, Badux wrote.
The reason why I rate it above zero is that things on the Mexican border are not looking good right now -- and in case you didn't know, the Border Patrol is under the Department of Homeland Security now, and has been under fire multiple times from the Mexican drug gangs he continued.
In any event, even if the DHS is not acquiring thousands of MRAPs, the fact that its ordering ammo in such bulk is a bit perplexing. The obvious question here is: why? Why does the Department of Homeland Security need millions of rounds of ammo (in particular, rifle ammo)?
Your thoughts?
Department of Homeland Security Stockpiling Ammo and Mine Resistant Vehicles? (VIDEO) - Gun News at Guns.com
Black Blade: A most interesting development. They really think that they need MRAPs for police work? Looks like DHS is getting a bit power mad and is getting ready for war - but against who?

Title: Emerging Technologies to Navigate the Data Overload
Agust Egilsson: Empowering Domain Experts to Navigate the Data Overload
Demand for experts in the big data field is currently growing at triple digit annual rates, in particular for developers and architects in the field. This continued dependency on developers and the extreme shortage of deep analytical talents prevents domain experts, managers and decision makers in industries like finance, retail and healthcare from being able to take advantage of opportunities that require short turnaround times and analysis of big data. So what can be done to change this?
By far the most widely used and well understood end-user programming technology for reducing turnaround times and performing analytics is the spreadsheet. In this analytics talent puzzle, several big data vendors are banking on spreadsheets to provide a vital piece in reducing the pressures resulting from the exploding demand for developers and to reduce turnaround times. These vendors include Datameer, 1010 data, Palantir and QuantCell as well as IBM and others.
We will discuss the end-user programming solutions, why they are useful and how they help the domain expert to navigate the data overload, the challenges and what is needed to make them viable in the long run. Additionally, we will highlight and exemplify the solution provided by the big data spreadsheet being developed by QuantCell to empower the domain expert.
Vivek Agarwal: Empowering Researchers to Collaborate Amid the Data Overload
By some estimates, knowledge workers spend as much as 40% of their time on Intranets and Internet to research and collect information around topics necessary for their work. A significant percentage of this research is redundantly repeated by others, with little collaborative awareness, representing a huge amount of wasted effort.
Most of the current technological effort is focused around improving search, presenting results and introducing semantic contexts around search (e.g. "knowledge graphs"). But purely technology enabled approaches continue to come up short, as new information is generated at an overwhelming pace. Humans already process the search results presented to them by going down different paths, assigning importance to results through various implicit and explicit actions, and digging for information not accessible by search engines. Very little has been done to leverage this effort to improve upon research and collaboration.
Vivek will discuss different approaches being taken to address these issues, why many have failed and what challenges remain, to address the challenge in way that could lead to wider adoption of solutions. He will present the human-powered approach Surfmark has taken, its potential, and the challenges Surfmark faces and how those challenges can be overcome.
Agust S. Egilsson, PhD, co-founder, inventor and architect of QuantCell
Vivek Agarwal, founder, inventor and architect of Surfmark
Agust is the architect and inventor behind the QuantCell big data spreadsheet and end-user programming environment, and the cofounder of QuantCell Research. Before QuantCell he worked in investment banking, in the life science industry and in academia in the mathematics departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of California-Berkeley and at the University of Iceland. Agust wrote and used early prototypes of QuantCell in his roles in investment banking and in academia to build trading strategies, perform risk analysis and for research. Agust has a doctoral degree in mathematics from UC Berkeley, has published papers in mathematics and computer science and is the author of numerous U.S. patents.
Vivek is the founder of Surfmark. He started Surfmark to address many of the knowledge processing and collaboration issues he faced as an investment banker, advising technology companies. Before investment banking, he worked in a supply chain startup, where he helped architect a decision support system. Prior to that, Vivek worked as a management consultant helping companies re-engineer their extended supply chains. He started his career building nuclear power plants for Westinghouse. Vivek is an engineering graduate from IIT Delhi and holds an MBA from the Wharton School.

AMES, Iowa — According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, 30 percent of the nation's 3.3 million farm operators were women — that's more than 1 million! Many more Iowa women play key roles in their family farming operations.
Some 1,500 Iowa farm women are among the 10,000 farm women across the country who participated in Annie's Project, building agricultural risk management skills and putting those skills to work on their own farms to increase profitability, rural quality of life and national food security. And they're all invited to a party in their honor Sept. 18, when Annie's Project will celebrate 10 years of empowering farm women to be better business partners and owners through networks and by managing critical information.
"We invite all Iowa farm women, whether or not they've participated in Annie's Project, to the celebration Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Iowa State University campus in Ames," said Madeline Schultz, a value added agriculture specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and national co-director for Annie's Project. "We want to honor all Iowa farm women for their roles in agriculture, connect women with each other and the resources available to them through Iowa State University, and raise awareness of agricultural risk management."
The program will feature tours of Iowa State University agricultural programs, agricultural risk management workshops and a celebration luncheon. Registration is available online at http://www.aep.iastate.edu/annie/ten/. Registration is $25 and must be received by midnight, Sept. 13, 2013.
Marsha Laux, a value added agriculture specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach and state coordinator for Annie's Project, noted evaluation data gathered from Annie's Project past participants. "We're seeing a consistent increase in the women's level of knowledge in agricultural risk management and decision making. Annie's Project helps women be more confident in their management role on the farm," Laux said.
"The growing number of farm women throughout the country is fueling the rising interest in risk management education," Laux said. USDA statistics show that women are the principal operators of 14 percent of the nation's 2.2 million farms. Here in Iowa, women are the principal operators of 9 percent of farms. They're responsible for more than one million acres of land, as well as crop and livestock sales totaling more than $341 million.
The Annie's Project Tenth Anniversary Celebration will begin with a message from Annie's Project founder, Ruth Hambleton. She'll explain why and how Annie's Project started and the unique role Iowa State has played in spreading educational opportunities for farm women across Iowa and to 34 states. Hambleton is a retired University of Illinois Extension agribusiness and marketing specialist, president of Annie's Project Education for Farm Women Not-for-Profit, and an adjunct lecturer in agricultural business at Southern Illinois University.
The morning breakout workshops will feature Ag Decision Maker (http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm) resources for estate planning, budgeting, grain marketing, farmland leasing and agricultural employers. Next, participants may choose from on-campus tours featuring Morrill Hall, Farm House Museum, local foods on campus, the Meats Lab or the Plant and Soils Lab.
Cathann Kress, vice president for ISU Extension and Outreach, and Angela Loew, a financial officer with Farm Credit Services of America, will keynote the noon luncheon program. Videos highlighting past Annie's Project participants on their farms also will be featured.
The afternoon breakout workshops will showcase the Iowa Beef Center, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Farm Energy Project, Safe Farm and the Beginning Farmer Center. Afterward, participants will board buses for a choice of Iowa State University tours including the BioCentury Research Farm, Dairy Farm, Horticulture Farm, Vet Med Diagnostics Lab and Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center. Then participants will re-convene for a final light-hearted session in the Memorial Union featuring Mary Swander, distinguished professor of English at Iowa State and Iowa Poet Laureate.
The Annie's Project Tenth Anniversary Celebration is being planned by the Annie's Project team at ISU Extension and Outreach. The program is sponsored by ISU Extension and Outreach, Farm Credit National Contributions Program and Farm Credit Services of America.
For more information on the Annie's Project Tenth Anniversary Celebration or access to registration, please call 515-294-9483 or go to http://www.aep.iastate.edu/annie/ten/.

University of St. Thomas students will present oral and poster presentations of their faculty-sponsored research projects at the 2012 Research Symposium, April 12, 13 and 14. The University community is encouraged to attend these presentations and support their colleagues and fellow students.
UST President Dr. Robert Ivany said St. Thomas graduates are distinguished by their ability to think critically and articulate effectively.
"The Research Symposium greatly contributes to these important characteristics," he said. "We will continue to encourage our students to participate and thank our faculty for their dedication to this outstanding program."
The theme for this year's Research Symposium is "Research: Knowledge Out of Chaos." With the explosion of the Internet, the global scope of knowledge has changed the landscape of the university. As students progress in their education, they learn how to distinguish between truth and what parades itself as truth. By completing a research project, a capstone project or a thesis, student engage in the some of the highest levels of development in their fields.
Dr. Dominic Aquila, vice president for Academic Affairs, said the theme of the Research Symposium reminds us of a basic principle of research: valid and reliable knowledge presupposes an ordered university.

"Perhaps more than most, students at the University of St. Thomas appreciate this foundation for human knowing because they bring whatever they study and research into conversation with the Christian liberal arts tradition," Aquila said. "This tradition has also equipped student researchers with the skills and tools to judge what is important and worth knowing among the teeming facts that compete for our attention -- how to synthesis worthwhile facts into worthwhile knowledge, and eventually, to be wise."

Arsène Wenger expects his much-changed Arsenal side to give Olympiacos a sterner test than an unchanged team would have done.
The Frenchman has travelled to Greece with only two of the players that started Saturday's 4-0 win at Wigan - Thomas Vermaelen and Andre Santos - and is set to field an XI with a distinctive 'Carling Cup' flavour.
Wenger's selection may be described as a 'shadow' squad in some quarters but the manager believes the Greek champions would be wrong to expect an easier ride from a group of players that pushed Manchester City all the way last week.
"It is true that some of the players [in this squad] do not play many games but they will be even more motivated to show they deserve to play," said Wenger.
"The game will be more difficult for them than if we had brought the team who played on Saturday. I wanted to bring this team because they gave a hard time to Manchester City last week.
"I left some players at home because I did not want to put players on the bench when there is training at home but this side will be up for it.
"I like to give a chance to young players when they deserve it. I like to do it when I can do it. I have shown in the past that I am not scared to do it when they have the quality to turn up. I believe everyone needs to chance to show their quality. When I am able to give that chance I am always happy."
Arsenal have booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League but Olympiacos are vying with Marseille and Borussia Dortmund for the second qualifying spot. That's why Wenger wants 100 per cent from his players on Tuesday night.
"I know we have a big responsibility tomorrow," he said. "I would be deeply disappointed if our winning attitude was not right. I will make sure we walk out there with an immense desire to win the game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
