Ohio State Marching Bands Gets Interim Leadership
FUN QUIZ: Find out your "scarlet and gray marching band nickname."
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Ohio State University has named a pair of interim directors for the marching band this year.
Director of University Bands, Professor Russel C. Mikkelson, and Associate Director of University Bands Scott Jones have been appointed to provide operational leadership and oversight this season.
"The new temporary leadership structure will best support our students, ensure the band's tradition of excellence continues and provide a seamless transition to a permanent band director," said Mark Shanda, dean of arts and humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The leadership structure was developed following discussions with university leaders, faculty and current marching band members.
In addition to the role adjustments for Mikkelson and Jones, Lisa Galvin has been hired as associate director for the length of the Marching Band season. Chris Hoch and Mike Smith will be retained as associate and assistant directors, respectively.
Galvin recently retired from Hilliard Bradley High School, where she taught instrumental music and served as the assistant director of bands. She has a long connection with the Ohio State Marching Band, including assisting with arrangements for some of last year's half-time shows. She will assume her new role on August 11.
"We are thrilled with the deep musical skills and commitment of the students who are participating in summer practices," said Richard Blatti, professor and director, School of Music. "Their talents ensure that the Marching Band will continue its unparalleled tradition of on-field excellence."
A national search for a new Ohio State University Marching Band Director will begin in the very near future.

Fine Cashmere and Pashmina Shawls in Colorful Patterns
Our beautiful shawls are worked in many colorful distinctive patterns or embroidery. They are made from fine threads of wool known as Cashmere and Pashmina. Produced in the Holy Land, they come in seven different patterns and many colors, both in the background and foreground, and are elegant enough for formal wear, but soft and comfortable enough for everyday use.


description: A Cape buffalo can outweigh a single lion five to one. Can some reinforcements tip the scale in the lions' favor?

is_us_only: false

title: World's Deadliest: Lion Pack vs. Buffalo

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Lions need up to 15 pounds of food per day, so for the pride to endure, they have to keep on the hunt.
But some prey calls for the whole team.
Cape buffalo are truly big game.
One lion can be outweighed five to one by a buffalo.
To take it down, the lionesses need reinforcement.
The pride's male could weigh twice as much as a female.
This is no random gang-up.
It's a two-pronged attack: distract the buffalo—then go for the hindquarters to bring it down.

External enemies: the might of human power judged
Psalm 59 gives more the external enemies. The same wickedness is found there, but the might of human power with it. But they also must be judged, that wickedness may be set aside. Nor was it the sin of Israel against them that brought the heathen on them (however God might chasten them for sin against Him, so that He was justified). The suffering remnant look therefore for the intervention of Jehovah to judge them. And Jehovah shall judge all the heathen. They are not destroyed, but scattered, yet practically, as power, consumed; and many, as we know, slain.
This psalm speaks of no restoration of blessing. It is judgment, and judgment going on and not yet finished. And this judgment of the proud and wicked enemies will go on. Though rising up in rage to a head of wickedness, they will be sore smitten and consumed. All the heathen are concerned in it, but I apprehend that it is especially the apostate power animated of Satan partially the king of Daniel 8 perhaps. It will be remarked here that, the moment it is in contrast with the heathen, the name of Jehovah is introduced. The personal address is still under the name of God, for the people are still outside (see v. 3, 5, 8 for Jehovah, and 1, 9, 10, 17 for the personal address). Note, the result is, that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Verses 14, 15 are, I apprehend, a challenge. Let the heathen be as hungry dogs about the city, the believer will sing of Jehovah's power. It is at the close of the tribulation.
The connection between Israel and Messiah shown by David
This psalm presents another phase of the connection of Israel and Messiah, and shows how David became the fitted instrument whom God had attuned to tell Messiah's and the remnant's sufferings. "Slay them not, lest my people forget."* Now, this is not the language of the king, as such, but of Jehovah. The only case where "my people" is used is 2 Samuel 22: 44, or Psalm 18: 43, where Christ is the speaker. But when Christ is born, He is called Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. Now Jesus was the personal verifying of that which was said of Jehovah. In all their affliction He was afflicted, as in Isaiah 63. It is Jehovah who gets the tongue of the learned (Isaiah 50). So that "my people," where not directly of Jehovah which is frequent, is Christ entering into the sorrows of Israel, but in the love of Jehovah to them no doubt as man (or how could He have actually suffered?) but still in the sympathies of Jehovah yet, and because He is Jehovah, perfectly entering into them. It is thus He wept over Jerusalem, saying, "How often would I have gathered thy children together!" But that was Jehovah Hence, though He can say "we," because He graciously takes a place among the children, yet, in saying "we," it brings in all His own value and excellency into the cry. "I" and "me" may often take up the case of an individual of the remnant; but in case of such an expression as "my people," we clearly get One who stands in another position not merely David. He says (like Moses) to Jehovah, "thy people" ever, and that is all right, but One who, in whatever sorrow, could say, as Jehovah, when spoken of by the Spirit, "my people," and enter into their griefs with divine sympathy, and a righteous call for divine judgment. I apprehend that, though the enemies are the heathen, yet their complete intimacy and affinity with the wicked among the Jewish people is clearly intimated here. The same thing is found in Isaiah 66. They are all melted into one system and state of wickedness.
{*If the title be right, David was not yet king de facto, and the Spirit of Christ in him spoke anticipatively of the title of the anointed one; but evidently in view of another epoch. Note too here all Israel is in view of the desires of faith, though no deliverance even of the Jews be yet accomplished.}Synopsis by John Darby

The wumpus-core package
Wumpus-Core is a low-level library for generating static 2D vector pictures, its salient feature is portability due to no FFI dependencies. It can generate PostScript (EPS) files and SVG files. The generated PostScript code is plain and someways efficient as the use of stack operations, i.e gsave and grestore, is minimized (unfortunately there is no sharing so the generated PostScript can be huge...).
Although Wumpus-Core only generates vector output, the generated PostScript can be interpreted by GraphicsMagick or a similar tool to convert EPS files into bitmap image files (e.g JPEGs).
Wumpus-Core makes pictures from paths and text labels. Paths themselves are made from points. The usual affine transformations (rotations, scaling, translations) can be applied to Pictures. Unlike PostScript there is no notion of a current point, Wumpus-Core builds pictures by direct positioning of each element.
For actually building pictures, diagrams, etc. Wumpus-Core is very low-level. There are two supplementary packages Wumpus-Basic and Wumpus-Drawing also on Hackage that aim to be a higher-level basis for creating certain types of diagram, but they are experimental - functionality is added and dropped between releases and curently the API is too unstable to write code upon (they should be considered a technology preview rather than re-usable libraries).
Also, some of the design decisions made for Wumpus-Core are not sophisticated - e.g. how path and text attributes like colour are handled, and how the bounding boxes of text labels are calculated. Compared to other systems, Wumpus might be rather limited, however, the design permits a fairly simple implementation.
v0.52.0 to v0.52.1:
v0.51.0 to v0.52.0:
Added limited support for adding SVG ids to text and Primitives.
Fixed types of d2r and r2d to Double for degrees, rather than a parametric (Real a, Floating a) type. Although this is less general, it removes the burden of type annotating the common case.
Added the vector functions orthoVec, vsum and vdiff to Core.Geometry.
Re-named clip to clipPrimitive
v0.50.0 to v0.51.0:
Added special cases to handle continuity to the function lineDirection in Core.Geometry.
Added zeroVec to Core.Geometry.
Extended some Haddock documentation.
v0.43.0 to v0.50.0:
Major change hence the version number jump - the notion of parametric unit has been removed from the Picture objects (it for remains the Geometric objects Point2, Vec2 etc.). Certain useful units, e.g. em and en, are contextual on the "current point size", and having a parametric unit here was actually a hinderance to supporting units properly in higher-level layers. Now all Picture objects (those defined or exported from Core.Picture) are fixed to use Double - representing PostScript points. Higher level layers that intend to support alternative units must translate drawing objects to PostScript point measurements before calling the Picture API. Geometric objects - objects defined in Core.Geometry, e.g. Point2, Vec2 - are still polymorphic on unit.
Picture API change - Various function names changed. lineTo becomes absLineTo and curveTo becomes absCurveTo. The path builders are qualified with Prim, vertexPath becomes vertexPrimPath, vectorPath becomes vectorPrimPath, emptyPath becomes emptyPrimPath and curvedPath becomes curvedPrimPath. xlink becomes xlinkPrim.
API change - PtSize data type replaced by AfmUnit for font measurements.
API and representation change - clipping paths are represented as Primitive constructor rather than a Picture constructor. This should make them more useful. The type of the function clip in Core.Picture has likewise changed.
Picture API change - changed primPath to absPrimPath, added the functions relPrimPath, relLineTo, relCurveTo.
Added the class Tolerance to Core.Geometry and made the Eq instances of Point2, Vec2 and BoundingBox tolerant. Tolerance accounts for a fairly lax equality on floating point numbers - it is suitable for Wumpus (printing) where high accuracy is needed.
v0.42.1 to v0.43.0:
API change - the function bezierCircle in Core.Geometry has changed. It now implements a better method of drawing circles with Bezier curves and no longer needs the subvision factor. The old circle drawing function has been retained as subdivisionCircle as it is useful for corroborating bezierCircle, but the general use of subdivisionCircle should be avoided.
Added a function bezierEllipse to Core.Geometry.

After watching the first episode you will be so perplexed by it's intense awesomeness that you will begin to question your own life. For the betterment of it, of course. Yes. This show is so awesome it will make your life better period.

Simple premise and storyline, but the characters are appealing and the show is a lot of fun. I enjoyed every minute of it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:A simple tale, but worthwhileThis series has a little bit of everything. There are elements of a harem with one of the male protagonists, but it is really understated and not the main point of the series like queens blade or R15. The fan-service is there, but it is not over the top. There are a number of one sided romantic moments which are hilarious.Read more

5 out of 5 people found this review helpful:Interesting and enjoyable series, but lacks focus and closureI watched all 24 episodes of this series, so it was interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. What I liked about it was the core characters -- the brothers Toru and Noboru, Tenko Kugen, and The Mamorime (Protector). Their dialog was warm and left one hoping they could all become a family together for the long term. The plot is mostly about how the younger brother Toru is at risk from ...Read more

Overall I enjoyed it the family aspect was nice the two brothers ...Read more
AWESOME AND DA BEST!!!! :DThis show is really amazing, because it really stands out as anime and there is so much adventure that awaits. It's like experiencing another world and another life. This show fits me perfectly. It makes me want to watch every episode again and again. I just love how they get everything just right, but sometimes it the episodes can get complicated and hard to understand. But I LOVE IT!!
This is a really fun series.I really enjoyed this series when i watched it, Tenko was hilarious I really enjoyed the characters and how they fit so well in each episode and they are rather and I really like cute characters like these when I start these series I worry that they won't keep up the amusing story but this one does.

I loved the characters esp Noburo's clueless-ness with women and Tenko's wackiness and antics. Toru was so adorable and cute and Ko-chan was so lovable and endearing. Ebuno was a classic - a businessman deity LOL.

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Needs more, no closure.The anime just seems to abruptly end. As if there was more story, but it just never came. Other than that, the story is cute and fun. The characters are all over the top in one way or another (klutzy, gluttonous, innocent, childish, etc). Definitely worth a watch, but sadly has no closure.
A Simply Funny Supernatural AdventureAt it's core this is your average supernatural slice of life comedy that could have come straight out of the nineties. Wacky anime tropes come up with strange solutions to everyday problems with lots of retrofitted japanese mythology thrown in for spice. It's simple and honestly it's funny. There isn't really any character progression unless you count the progression of Noboru's clueless male ...Read more

I wonder: does Mike Brown think he's good at being a football executive? Is he capable of that much delusion?
I suppose it depends on one's definition of that. And I would guess Brown's definition is the only one that matters. Maybe he feels that if the Bengals are making money he is doing a good job. If they win, that's just gravy. Mind you that's not most people's definition of being a good football executive but his is the only bote that counts.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
And that is what perplexes me about our respective coaches.... they both got their head coaching opportunities because of their resumes/work on previous defenses (Ravens, Patriots).
If they could do it on those respective teams, then why not now? How about something even remotely close?
Is it possible they are getting more credit then they deserve? So far it appears so.
At least when Dick LeBeau was the Bengal's head coach he lived up to his rep of building good defenses.
I started the season thinking that 10-6 was a pretty reachable record. Now I think that 6-10 will be the absolute best they can do.[/quote]
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I'm just speculating, I don't know. Perhaps calling him a liar is rather strong. Peraps he feels that he is doing the best job that he can running the team and injuries and bad breaks are what is keeping them from the success they had 2 years ago. A case could be made for that. From my perspective as someone who is not a Bengals fan, I don't think Mike Brown is doing a good job running the Bengals. The results speak for themselves. I think if they found someone who could run the team and let Mike sit in his box and sign the checks it would be a big step in the right direction. I don't think Marvin Lewis is a good coach. That statement would have been heresey as much as a year ago but it's not a disciplined team. I think there are worse coaches out there that are employed and maybe Marvin is good enough to led a healthy team to the playoffs every once in a while. But I don't think he is the man to take the Bengals to the promised land.
Check out Mike Brown's wikipedia page. Hurry, it may not last long this way.

My point was that the Bidwell family has owned the Cardinals ever since they were in Chicago and they have historically been terrible - even worse than the Bengals. At least the Bengals have been to 2 Super Bowls. If the NFL won't step in and make the Bidwells sell, there isn't any way they will make the Browns sell.

Bisclavret is a story by Marie de France written in the twelfth century and following the titular Bisclavret and the shenanigans he has to put up with due to his particular branch of lycanthropy.
A quick synopsis:
Bisclavret is a baron who vanishes three days out of every week for reasons nobody knows. One day, his wife finally manages to wriggle the answer out of him: he is a werewolf, and he leaves so he can go off into the woods and get furry in peace. He must go out, hide his clothes, do his thing, then find his clothes again so that he may return to human shape.
His wife suddenly realizes that there are some problems that marital counseling will not cover, and immediately calls up her knightly boyfriend over so they can figure out a way to get hubby out of the picture.
The next time Bisclavret goes off for his time of the week, the knight follows him and steals his clothes, trapping him in wolf form.
A year passes. One day, the king is out hunting, and his dogs manage to corner a wolf. As soon as the wolf sees the king, it immediately begins licking his feet and even bows like a courtier. The king is tickled pink and decides to take the wolf home because- hey. King.
Meanwhile, back home, the wife of the missing baron and her boyfriend have gotten married. He and all the other local barons are invited to the king's place for a royal shindig. As soon as the wolf sees him, it immediately attacks him.
They manage to haul the wolf off of the knight/baron/backstabbing traitor, but considering that this is the first time the wolf has ever attacked anybody, people suspect that maybe the knight has done something to piss it off.
Later, the king goes to visit Bisclavret's old barony where his wife still lives. She goes out to meet the king and his entourage, and the wolf goes berserk. This time, he manages to tear off her nose before they can pull him off.
One of the courtiers points out how she is married to the knight the wolf attacked earlier, how they are the only two people the wolf has ever attacked, how this woman is the wife of one of his missing barons, and how- hey, this is 12th century Brittany. Even a wolf's opinion is worth more than that of a woman's.
The woman is questioned and a little bit of torture later, she confesses to everything and gives back the stolen clothing she'd been hiding away for. . . some. . . reason. The wolf and the clothes are left alone in the bedroom, and Bisclavret comes out a few minutes later, looking a little worn but no worse for the wear.
The king- who must by now be feeling at least a little bit awkward- reinstates all of Biscky's lands and titles, banishes the knight and the wife, and then presumably goes off to go kill wolves now that he knows it's okay again.
So Bisclavret goes on the rest of his days as best friends with the king and his wife and her boyfriend go off and have kids, all of which are born without noses. Because genetics totally works that way. The end.

Yo Dudes! I'm trying to get to indo for the entire month of August. I would like to avoid the crowds and don't need to party every night. I'm intermediate-advanced surfer and seek forgiving points, reefs and tubes. I found a decent surf camp called Mandiri Beach club (fly into Jakarta). Can my 9'0 and 7'0 survive?
Anybody know of any gems that are safe for the solo American surfer? Thanks in advance for any stellar advice.

While the fall construction season is the busiest time of the year for many people, it also is a reminder that it's time to plan for the off-season. In fact, the next few months mark the in-season for various meetings and conventions.
Women in the concrete industry have seen an increase in networking opportunities outside of the traditional technical associations in which they participate with their male colleagues. They often are not only an opportunity for knowledge, but also for renewal.
Do you belong to any of these associations or attend any events tailored for women working in the concrete industry? If you haven't yet, it's time to try them.
The women of the Ohio Ready-Mix Concrete Association have organized their meetings to provide an opportunity for women working in the concrete industry to come together and share ideas, while enhancing their technical knowledge about ready mixed concrete in a casual and fun setting. The Ladies Educational And Ready-Mix Network (LEARN) recently held their fall meeting and heard a speaker on proper flatwork finishing techniques, complete with a hands-on demonstration. For more information about LEARN, telephone 614-891-0210.
Perhaps one of the longest running networking events occurs semi-annually at the American Concrete Institute (ACI) convention. This is a great opportunity to get to know a wide range of women involved in the concrete industry. The next Women in ACI reception occurs this month in Denver.
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) is for women who work in all areas of construction. NAWIC recently held its 51st annual convention in Kansas City, Mo., last September. The mission is "to enhance the success of women in the construction industry."
Fun too
I found the annual meeting fun and informative. There was a wide range of speakers who provided professional improvement seminars, such as getting paid on construction projects and winning government contracts. But my, and seemingly the group's, favorite speaker was Alice Rowe. The nationally known motivational speaker spoke about communication and how to encourage cooperation. NAWIC also offers regional meetings for networking and education.
For block producers, the National Association for Women in Masonry (NAWM) strives to enhance the leadership skills of women in the masonry building industry through education, training, and networking. Although it is a fairly new organization, members keep an active schedule of events and monthly e-meetings. Earlier this year, five members of NAWM traveled to Santiago, Chile, to participate in Expo Hormigon, a technology-based tradeshow showcasing women.
And my favorite—because I'm involved—The Women in Concrete Luncheon and Forum returns again to World of Concrete. Turn to page 58 for more information.
These are just a handful of associations. I'm sure you have benefitted from other women's networking opportunities. Please send me these events so I can share them with our readers.

Hey all! It's Bianca here. Here's a great idea for an empty wall in your room: create an office or a little writing area where you can sit and pay bills or browse online (which sounds way more fun!), nothing to crazy. All you need is a small desk, chair, and lamp, really. Here's how to get the look of this traditional gold accented office space.

Post subject: The President's Cacheside Chat (January 2006)
Well, its after the holidays and everyone is back up and running on getting association business cleared. I have a couple updates on very old business, some slightly old business, and a couple of new business points. Nothing terribly exciting, honestly, but I hope that will all change in the February edition of the Presidents Cacheside Chat.
Old, old, old business updates:
The calendar voting has closed and is now for sale on Cafepress (see here:
for more information). Thanks to all those that submitted and voted! Pear Head did an excellent job getting this all put together and out the door on such short notice. Thanks go out to him as well for all the hard work with sorting through the submissions, creating the forum voting sections, and posting all the thumbnails, etc. Awesome job!
We sold about 18 MnGCA Calendars even with the short notice. We are looking to get a calendar ready for 2007 a bit earlier this year so look for the announcement for that sometime in the late Spring.
Thanks again to everyone who submitted photos and purchased calendars. Thanks again to Pear Head for all the hard work he put forward to get the voting up and the calendars available on Cafepress!
As most of you know, the Three Rivers policy presentation occurred in mid-November and went off without a hitch. We have posted the presentation (in PPS/zipped) format and the announcement for that is located here:
Were still waiting to hear back about its adoption as the Three Rivers Park District Board hadnt met since we made the presentation.
I have been in touch with Three Rivers since my last monthly update and we are still waiting on their late-January Board meeting before we hear back about the successes of the policy that the MnGCA proposed back in November.
I will pass along any information I receive as soon as I hear back from Three Rivers.
The MnGCA Board made preliminary contact with the DNR and worked with several members of their staff to setup a policy discussion meeting for mid December. We made the official announcement of our discussions with them on December 1st and its posted here:
We will keep everyone updated on any future plans, updates, and outcome of those discussions.
We have another DNR meeting scheduled with the DNR for early February. We are incorporating ideas, discussions, and suggestions given to us by both the DNR and the excellent discussions going on amongst the MnGCA Membership. We hope to have some more in-depth and exciting news following the February meeting.
Old business update:
2. International CITO Day (Sponsored by Groundspeak) will be held on April 22nd, 2006. The MnGCA is looking to get an event together and if anyone is interested in planning please contact the MnGCA Board here:
Were not going to ask for a committee to be formed but if anyone is interested in moving in that direction please contact me privately and well be happy to setup a private forum for your discussions.
Some discussions have occurred about the April 26th, 2006 CITO Day and we are exploring several options including Dakota County Parks, Three Rivers Parks, and possibly some DNR lands. Nothing is set in stone at this time.
If you would like to help out, have some suggestions for CITO locations, or have any other comments about the 2006 CITO day, please contact sui generis privately.
New business:
1. The April 29th, 2006 Breakfast Buddies will be held at the Fryin Pan restaurant in *Fargo, ND*. We currently have reservations for 25-30 and a private area reserved. I realize that this date is more than the third month outstate that we tried to stick to but thats how it worked out this time.
We are considering Grand Rapids area for the July 2006 Breakfast Buddies so mark your calendar! The Grand Rapids area is gorgeous and chock full of excellent caches.
2. The 2006 MnGCA Geocoin pre-sale has ended and the order has been placed. We are expecting the coins within several weeks. The sale was considered a huge success and there are some preliminary discussions occurring about a 2007 coin.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns check out the MnGCA Geocoin? thread here:
or contact Arcticabn (or any of the geocoin committee members) privately.
3. The Star Tribune geocaching article that appeared on January 10th, 2006 (see the write up here:
for more information) offered an interesting and informative look into the social aspects of geocaching, especially through the eyes of Darlene Prois who accompanied several of us on one of our WeekNIGHT Caching outings.
The article brought in about twenty new users to the MnGCA website, many of which are now MnGCA Members. It was great seeing geocaching presented in a positive light.
If anyone is interested in joining us on a WeekNIGHT Caching outing, please check the Events section of the Forum here:
as we try to post the weekly outing at least a couple days in advance. Everyone is welcome!
4. There have been some Forum and Website updates including new versions of our Forum software. If you are having issues logging in to the MnGCA Forum please clear your cookies (for the MnGCA or all of your cookies) and then reattempt a login. If you are still having problems logging in, please contact:
and we will do what we can to get you back up and running.
5. The preliminary stages of MOGA (Midwest Open Geocaching Adventure) event planning are occurring and it looks like the MnGCA will again have a great team of cachers assembled to defend our two year team-event winning streak and our individual event championship title.
If youre interested in joining Team MnGCA this year, please check out this thread:
for more information.
Even if youre not interested in competition participation there are plenty of caches to do on the way down, in the park at the event, and on the way home. Its really a fun time and probably an experience you are not soon to forget.
Thats about all I have for this month. Feel free to post any comments, questions, etc below.
Happy Cachin,
Silent Bob
Sad state of affairs.

Twenty years ago the House was still struggling with the necessity of recognising a Mr. Campbell-Bannerman.
Campbell-Bannerman took all these performances with serene good humor.
Thus for the first time it became known to the public that Campbell-Bannerman was already a power in political life.
Campbell-Bannerman, however, took a very different view of the event.
Campbell-Bannerman went boldly and steadfastly on, never faltering in the least.
Crean being on crest of advancing wave found his face, by what Campbell-Bannerman would describe as a "regrettable accident."
Harcourt therefore ceased to hold that position; and now came for the first time the opportunity for Campbell-Bannerman.
It was under these circumstances that I had an interview of any length with Campbell-Bannerman for the last time.
Thus assured, Campbell-Bannerman made admirable defence of a position held in advance to be shaky.
I daresay you have observed how stout Campbell-Bannerman looks of late.

PHILADELPHIA - It was deja vu. For the third time in a week, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team was tied in the final minutes of a Big 5 road game. The first two ended in heartbreak. But on Wednesday, senior captain Alyssa Baron converted a game-winning three-point play in the final minute to propel the Quakers to a 74-70 win over Temple at McGonigle Hall.
For just the second time in the program's 44-year history, Penn (9-5, 2-2 Big 5) won a pair of Big 5 games in the same season. The Quakers also matched a school record with their ninth non-conference victory, and with the first win over Temple since Dec. 9, 2003, the Red and Blue also won two Big 5 road games for the first time in school history.
On Friday, Penn was tied at Saint Joseph's with under two minutes to play and trailed by two with a half-minute remaining, but ultimately fell by eight. Last Wednesday, the Quakers lost by one at Villanova when Baron's last-second shot fell short.
Exactly one week later, Baron had the ball in her hands with the game on the line again. Temple had just buried a game-tying three when Baron took a handoff near the top of the key from fellow senior captain Meghan McCullough and drove to her right. She was fouled on a driving layup which banked off the backboard and fell safely through the nylon for a two-point lead. She then sunk the free throw -- she was 7-of-7 from the charity stripe on the night -- and put Penn up 73-70 with 30 seconds remaining.
Temple (10-8, 1-3 Big 5) attempted to tie the game from three-point range again, but missed. Freshman Sydney Stipanovich, who had a double-double in her first career start, sunk a free throw with 11 seconds to go to ice the game.
Penn was shorthanded with injuries and played without junior Katy Allen who started the previous 13 games this season, and sophomore Keiera Ray, a key reserve.
However, Stipanovich and junior Kara Bonenberger helped aleviate that loss with a pair of double-doubles. The duo combined for 30 points, 22 rebounds, seven blocks and six assists.
But it was Baron who carried the Quakers at the start. Temple looked like they might run away early with a 12-4 lead in the first five minutes. But Baron accounted for the first five Penn field goals -- she made three and assisted on the other two.
That kept Penn in it and catapulted an 18-6 run. Stipanovich capped that spurt with a layup and the Quakers led 22-18 with 4:50 left in the opening half.
The teams traded buckets until intermission. Stipanovich's mid-range jumper just before the buzzer gave the Quakers a 30-26 lead at the break.
Temple found some momentum early in the second half when its full court pressure forced some miscues. The Owls started on a 9-4 run and regained the lead, 35-34.
However, McCullough and the Quakers managed the pressure well throughout. Penn had a season-low nine turnovers against a heavy dose of press. In moments, McCullough had Penn back on top with a three.
The lead jostled back-and-forth until a 10-2 run put the Owls up 49-42 with 13:18 to play. But as they have done throughout the year, the Quakers came roaring back.
In just four minutes, Penn was back in the lead. Sophomore Rayne Connell sparked an 8-0 run with a runner in the lane and then her baseline drive had the Red and Blue on top, 55-54 with 9:16 remaining.
Once again, the lead traded hands several times -- 11 times in all on the night, plus eight ties.
Temple went up 64-62 on a three-pointer, but clutch free throws carried the Quakers down the stretch. Bonenberger sunk a pair on the ensuing possession to tie it with 4:10 to go. After a defensive stop, Baron also hit two from the charity stripe. When Temple tied it again, McCullough stepped to the line with 2:23 to go and calmly made both of her free throws for a 68-66 edge.
When Temple made only 1-of-2 from the line, Stipanovich pulled down the rebound and 30 seconds later, gave Penn a three-point lead, 70-67, with a layup at the 1:48 mark.
A minute later, the Owls tied it - which led to Baron's eventual game-winner.
Inside the Numbers
Bonenberger was 9-of-13 from the field and finished with season highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds for her fourth career double-double, while Stipanovich picked up the third of her rookie campaign with 17 points and 10 rebounds in addition to five blocks. Baron had a game-high 21 points, four rebounds and three assists. McCullough led the Quakers with five assists.
Penn was proficient in the second half. The Quakers were 15-of-29 (51.7%) from the field and finished 29-of-64 (45.3%) overall. They were also 14-of-18 (77.8%) from the free throw line, including 7-of-8 in the final five minutes. Temple was 30-of-78 (38.5%) from the field. The hosts missed all eight of their threes in the first half, but were nearly 50 percent from beyond the arc in the second half to finish 5-of-19 (26.3%) from three. Penn was just 2-of-12 (16.7%) from that distance.
The Quakers were outrebounded 50-38, but had 17 assists and just those nine turnovers. Penn also had eight blocks to Temple's three.
Other Notables
- Penn led every Big 5 game at the half this year despite all four being played on the road.
- The only other time Penn won two Big 5 games in the same season was 2004-05 and the only other time the Quakers have won nine non-league games in a single season was in 1999-00.
- This was Penn's first game with two 20-point scorers since the same duo did so against Yale on March 8, 2013.
Up Next
On Saturday, the Red and Blue host NJIT (5-17) in a doubleheader with the men at The Palestra. Tip off for the women's game is at 5 p.m., and will be followed by the men's matchup against the Highlanders.

Teen Who Disappeared After Prom Dies in Car Crash
The Idaho teenager who disappeared following his prom—and was later charged with running away from home—died in a car crash Wednesday, bringing a sad end to a week of headlines.
KBOI reports the driver of a Chevy Tahoe was speeding when he lost control of the car and rolled it down a small embankment. The driver had to be extracted from the car, according to the Spokesman-Review.
The driver was identified as 17-year-old Kristian Perez, whose death was confirmed by a nurse at an area hospital. Deputies say Perez had taken his parents' Tahoe without permission. Deputies had been called regarding a possibly suicidal person prior to the crash.

Tough Decisions This Winter for Schools
This winter has not been a kind one to school superintendents around Ohio. Many of the state's 614 school districts are at or well past their five day limit of days off for snow or cold.
"It always has to be about student safety," said Chillicothe City Schools superintendent Jon Saxton.
He tries to make a decision on whether there will be a delay or closure as early as possible to give parents a heads up.
"We've been right on the bubble with a lot of those calls. It's been really difficult to make so far this winter," he said.
Saxton says about 600 of his district's students walk to school. It's a totally different situation in the Northern Local School District in Perry County. That's where superintendent Tom Perkins says the vast majority are bused to school. However, they face the same issues.
"With our students being rural they may wait on the bus, with long driveways, they may be out there 15 to 20 minutes sometimes," he said.
His day begins by hitting the road himself. He worries most about the rural roads that are maintained by county and township crews. They can be icy and snow covered longer than state maintained highways.
"I've done this for a while now and if I have to discuss whether I think it's safe or it's already determined that it's not safe," he said.
Scot Prebbles, superintendent at Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools outside Cleveland also relies on scouts to help him make the final decision.
He factors in how long it will take crews to clear roads and if more snow is on the way. Temperatures have also been part of the equation this year with students waiting on buses.
"They're on street corners and they're waiting. How much time are they going to be outside?"
He says the call has to be made in a small window and it impacts a lot of people.
For Bill Wise at South-Western City Schools in suburban Columbus the decision is either to open to close. Wise says parents told the district they weren't fans of using a delay so it's not even an option any longer.
"When we move forward to have school it's because we're confident that we can get kids picked up and to school in a timely manner," he said.
Even with calamity days racking up, Wise says the decision making process can't change.
"Safety of the students and staff always take priority over where we are in days," he said.
Next year the job may get a little easier for superintendents. The state switches from a minimum number of days required in the classroom to a minimum number of hours.

Tip! Taksi is a free desktop video recorder/screenshot capture application for most versions of Windows. It can be hooked to most applications/games (via GDI, OpenGL, DirectX8 or 9) to record as an AVI video all that you are doing. It is based on the VFW API's and can use any of the installed video codecs to encode in real time (if your CPU can handle it). This is an open source project that can also be found on sourceforge.net
- Uses any VFW video record codec. Such as XVid, DivX, MSMpeg4, etc.
- Can record video as compressed or uncompressed AVI-files (no audio (yet)).
- Video compression occurs in background thread for use in multi processor (hyperthread) machines.
- Very simple user interface for hooking applications to be recorded.
- Very small footprint (~300k). Written in C++, and does NOT use MFC.
- Can capture video frames from applications using DirectX 8 or 9, OpenGL, or GDI
- Has visual feedback while recording even in full screen games.
- Runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP.
- Hooks keyboard or uses DirectInput for hotkeys to control recording.
- Captures still frames in BMP or PNG format.
PS! On a side note, most non-software companies will probebely give you their permission to use their images/pictures if they used as non-commercial promo for their products. Like for example, I'm sure that car manufacturers, comics publishers, or movie producers/directors, etc. have would be glad if you use their pictures in a skin as long as it just promotes their products in a possitive way. Otherwise, whenever possible try to use royalty-free, public domain (free licenses), or non-copyrighted digital 'clip-art' and images/pictures that skinners, and graphical-artists/designers can use in their skins free of charge (libre/gratis) and without having to worry about any legal issues. See => Links to websites with clipart/images which skinners can use for free.

DOWNEY - City officials say that a $1 million-plus construction project for Columbia Way should be modified and all submitted bids should be rejected.
Director of Public Works John Oskoui will make the recommendation at Tuesday night's City Council meeting.
Oskoui wants more prospective bidders - only three applied - and one part of the project is more complicated than anticipated and should be a separate endeavor, according to a staff report.
The construction project would include repaving Columbia Way between Lakewood Boulevard and Foster Road, as well as repairing curbs, gutters, curb ramps and the sidewalk. In addition, about 1,000 feet of water main pipes would be installed.
Several other companies acquired the project plans but didn't submit bids. They told city staff that the water improvements were too complicated and that if they would be handled as a separate project, the companies would submit bids, the report says.
Also on the Tuesday's meeting agenda, Police Chief Rick Esteves wants to use $85,500 in asset forfeiture funds to recondition 31 patrol vehicles and purchase an electronic security key cabinet for the department, the staff report says.
The money would be used for new paint, police decals, seat upholstery and spotlight lens covers.
The electronic key cabinet will securely store a variety of squad car and building keys. It also will give better record keeping, the report says. Employees must input their password to not only gain entry, but also retrieve assigned keys. The system also will record each vehicle's usage history.
At present, these keys are placed on a board hanging on a hallway wall inside the police station.

However, if you're an all-ammy show and you're not paying anyone (apart from a ticket deal) then are you justified in charging the same prices as shows with a good chunk of professional fighters to cater for in their outgoings? I'd say no, but obviously no promoter wants to drop their ticket price.
I understand what you are saying and I agree but even a drop by £5 per ticket could make a massive impact on the show(s)
say I charged £15 a ticket and then had to take off the commision so call it £10 per ticket and get a crowed of 400 thats a £4000 gate, take off the cage, security, judges, refs alone that takes it down to £2300 then take off the venue, medics and doctor that brings it down to £1300, next take off the sanctioning, trophies, print/design thats down to £500 now from that £500 we have to take off any purses, travel, hotels, ring girls, water/fruit for fighters and were into the minus.
Promoters - think of it from a liability point of view as well. Marc Goddard made a great point yesterday at the meeting - Let's say you get a pull out and need a late replacement to save you show. You ring up a guy who you know will take a fight on a day/few hour's notice..lets call him, um, Pike Mersil for the sake of argument. This guy gets knocked out on your show and, god forbid, the worst happens.
You'll likely end up in a court of law under close scrutiny. What did you do to ensure this man was fit to compete? What steps did you take to ensure he was healthy before putting him in harms way? "I got his number off a mate and chucked him £300 on four hours notice" isn't a good answer for you, or the sport.
With Safe MMA, any fighter you use will have had a medical exam and blood tests. You'll know when their last fight was, and that they have been 'green lit' to compete since that fight. You wont run the risk of having a guy on your show who was knocked out the week, or night, before.
As a promoter your first concern should be fighter safety, I don't think anyone will dispute that. But being part of Safe MMA also should also give you piece of mind if you're put under scrutiny should something bad happen, that you've taken reasonable steps. You'll also have the backing of medical experts to confirm this.

Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
I get all that BUT how many ammy guys will sign up in the next 6 months? Its something I need to keep an eye on as do the other ammy show promoters I mean alot of the shows.promoters im friends with like me use alot of the same gyms so we all need to see if they are going to sign up before we as promoters commit
Does anyone know how long it takes from registering and paying to be fully affiliated?
So say for example UCMMA have a pull out from their main event and their 0-6 guy can't fight anymore and they have searched the SafeMMA database and there is no-one there who fits the criteria they are looking for. They identify Fighter A but he isn't a member of the scheme. How long does it take SafeMMA to get him registered as the show depends on it and it wouldn't be fair for the opponent not to have a fight.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Overall, this looks very positive. The cost of someone being severely hurt on a UK show will be far more than the cost of signing up to Safe MMA.

(1998 - 2001)
Beezus was a black gerbil and Ramona was a standard brown gerbil. The tradition of children mailing vacation postcards to the gerbils began with them. A child drew a portrait of them which we hung on their tank and then a staff member sent a postcard. Soon more staff members and children were sending them mail and we would post the newest one on their tank and put the older ones into a three ring binder for people to enjoy.

I am trying to get a better understanding of how functions like HTMLEntities work, but the problem is that since phpMyAdmin is a browser-based app, it is distorting what is going in and out of my database table...
So I want to try using the mysql client, but am pretty shaky on command line.
Some questions...
1.) When I opened up the mysql client - or whatever it is called - it goes directly to...
Is that dangerous for a Dev Environment?
2.) How would I delete the save password so no one could get it and make it so I have to type it in when I open the command line?
3.) How can I put a shortcut on my Mac Application bar so I can access this with one click versus navigating in Finder to the alias link?
P.S. I am using MAMP v1.7.2
Actually, maybe I have a more fundamental problem, because I am getting this...
mysql> use doubledee
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'doubledee'
If you're on linux try "man mysql" for starters.
If you're looking for Mac SQL clients for MySQL:
Um, I said I have MAMP...
Which means that any of the clients I mentioned above would be suitable for your purpose.
Which means that MAMP comes with a built-in command-line mysql client...

Was $349.95 NOW $279.95
Made by the company that supplies task lights to the U.S. military, this pliable lamp holds any loop, curve, or angle to provide crisp reading light wherever it's desired. The lamp's 34" gooseneck is made from brass-coated coils that will never slip out of place or droop like typical lamps. The gooseneck is encased in high-impact polyamide that's impervious to dust, oil, and moisture. The sturdy base enables one-handed manipulation of the lamp, and the 2 1/2"-diameter narrow lamp head won't obstruct your view when placed over reading material. The 6-watt LED bulb produces bright, white light that illuminates pages or tasks with an eyestrain-reducing, focused glow, it lasts up to 35,000 hours, and does not produce heat, allowing the light-projection angle to be adjusted by hand. Plugs into AC. 55" H x 9 1/2" Diam. (10 lbs.)

What a light
By barbara76028
from Burleson TX
I loved the adjustable neck on this lamp and it was easy to put together, even for me. And it was a bright light but too concentrated on one spot for me. I felt I need a lamp that put out a broader light...so returned it. Hated too, because I really loved the neck on this lamp...it would be great for a direct light on a smaller task.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Glad I took the chance on this one
By pattymm
from alberta canada
It is totally adjustable, and well made. The design is unobtrusive yet attractive for any room, and provides the focused task lighting that is needed . I like it a lot, and would recommend it. I feel this light will last a lifetime.
Excellent task light
By Liz the crafter
from FL
Easy to put together. Nice looking. I just found the light beam too focused on one area (like a task light) and didn't give enough dispersed lighting for my needs.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Harsh light for reading when bent over books, etc
By Mike
from New York City
Very disappointed. I wanted this as a reading lamp as I have need for a bright light, but this is too harsh--wrong color for reading?

This lamp is very sturdy and flexible. The light is very good. I use this beside my chair in the den.
A most worthwhile purchase
By Doc
from St. Croix, USVI
We use the lamps for reading, and appreciate the quality of the light...great and easy on the eyes...and the fact that it's adjustable makes it versatile...and the slim design makes it unobtrusive in small spaces.
Expensive but happy with it
By A reader
from NC
Perfect for use near my reading chair in the living room. It's adjustable and small enough that it doesn't interfere with being able to see and speak with others in the room, yet gives me plenty of light for reading.
Excellent quality. Inconspicuous design
By Louis the Lout
from Rye, NYt
Over the couch light. Light is cool to the touch, may be brought close to head. Very adjustable in position. Great on-off switch.

When moving into a new home you are more or less handed a blank slate – A lot of empty space that is just yearning for color, texture, shapes, personality. This new place gives you the opportunity to convey who you are through design. You may not see it this way, but I feel that decorating your personal space is an outward expression of your inner self through lines, colors, furniture, and art work. Think of it this way, home decor is like your wardrobe but much larger in scale, more expensive and for most, if you don't like what your home is "wearing," tough, you can't simply change the outfit in a snap.
A few weeks ago, I moved into a new apartment, my first and I'm all on my own. I have free range to decorate how I want. So now, I've got this blank slate in front of me and I really do not want to screw it up – I want my place to scream who I am! I have all the furniture but the walls…well, they are still bare as a bone with no art displayed upon them.
The problem is, I do not want to, nor can I, spend a hefty chunk of change on artwork. I have concert posters (Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, Flatstock) that I plan to frame and hang but that's not exactly doing it for me. I keep coming back to what I preach every day of the week – SHARPIE. I'm sure you've all seen the pictures of the "Sharpie basement" and all sorts of Sharpie wall art. YES! I do love these but also YES, my landlord would have fit if I attempted them. So what else can I do to bring in that unique, urban, DIY, Sharpie-esq element?
I think I've found it…
Several stores I've bought furniture from have a similar theme going on that I can only describe as a "paper-recession motif." In other words, using paper, card stock, cardboard, etc… to build make inexpensive, yet tasteful art. While none of these stores necessarily have incorporated Sharpie, I do see an appropriate place for the markers & pens. Using Sharpie to add details and personalize the following examples would be a fun, easy and inexpensive way to make it your own. If these don't necessarily fit your style, try taking the ideas and interpret them to fit your personality.
Here, pictures from magazines and books and pieces of card stock were cut out and hung with clothes pins on a long piece of twine to add some color to a pretty neutral corner . Another idea would be to hang actual post cards and greeting cards that you've either collected or bought for this purpose. On new cards use a Sharpie to write inspirational quotes, music lyrics, anything you'd like. Or keep a Sharpie and Polaroid camera nearby, next to bowl of clothes pins for when you have company. Take pictures with friends and family, write a little note and hang the pictures up.
Using corrugated strips of cardboard, this store built HUGE murals shaped into daisies. These pictures do not even do justice, this honestly was amazing and I stood in awe for a good five minutes. Imagine building these to fit your wall(s) and adding little touches with Sharpie markers - rain drops, lady bugs, veins on leaves, details on petals… Oh the possibilities.
Use patterned paper or gift wrap to cover old books and bring new light to a book shelf. Use the same paper in similar patterns and colors to make flowers (or in any shape for that matter) and hang in place of a framed picture.
Tear out pictures from magazines, books, newspapers, or trace new drawings with a Sharpie onto paper to make your own wallpaper collage. Don't be afraid to overlap, we're going for a sloppy, yet put-together feel here. Hanging plates as shown here, is a great way to pull everything together.
This wall was really interesting… Sheets upon sheets upon sheets of white paper were stacked to cover the entire wall. To add a pop of color, flowers were made using wired twine and rolled up colored pieces of paper. Add any details you want with Sharpie to achieve your unique vision.
It just goes to show how creative you can get using inexpensive materials, a creative eye and your own individual style to make unique pieces that will easily brighten up any room. I'll send an update once my apartment is all set up to show you what I've done with the place.
What unique ways have you decorated your home, bedroom, locker, or office?
Try some of these things out and let me know how it goes!

PRINCETON, N.J. – Yale remained unbeaten and Penn and Princeton kept pace and stayed within striking distance during Ivy League women's volleyball action last weekend.
The Bulldogs extended their winning streak to 11 consecutive matches with 3-1 wins at home over Cornell and Columbia. Freshman setter Kelly Johnson had 13 kills in the win over Columbia and followed that up with 11 kills against Cornell. She had just four errors on the weekend and hit a combined .333 in the matches. Mollie Rogers and Haley Wessels added 12 kills each in the win over Columbia. Wessels hit .524 against the Lions (12-1-21).
Princeton remained two games out of first with a pair of 3-0 wins over Dartmouth and Harvard at Dillon Gym. Kendall Peterkin led the way with a combined 22 kills in the two wins. She hit .435 in the sweep of Harvard (12-2-23).
Penn also swept Harvard and Dartmouth in consecutive 3-0 wins. Junior libero Dani Shepherd, the national leader in digs per set, logged 24 and 28 digs respectively in the three-set wins. Emma White had 13 kills and 19 digs in the win over Harvard and added 11 more kills in the victory over the Big Green. The sweep kept Penn three games behind Yale in the league standings.
Brown split its weekend slate, downing Cornell but dropping a 3-0 decision to Columbia. Lion outside hitter Megan Gaughn, who had a season-high 22 kills in the loss to Yale on Friday, had 13 kills and hit .370 in the sweep of the Bears.

From HaskellWiki
This is a list of bugs and features, and peoples thoughts on them. Please just add things, if it's an opinion on a feature or something, please sign your name. Especially if a feature is important to you, say how important it is and why you think its a good idea.
1 Polish
These aren't really bugs, they just need looking at before a final release. Mainly just polishing rough edges and checking for consistency.
- Unicode
- update the documentation
- keyboard accelerators, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V etc.
- correctly align and space the options dialog
- add more text editor support (as people ask!)
2 Bugs
These are things which are accepted as being wrong
2.1 Excessive Clearing
Excessive clearing of previous part of the screen, once it starts to wrap round
2.2 Occasional Screen Glitches
I don't know why these happen, the screen code is rather complicated...
2.3 Terminal interaction
Inline system calls, i.e. "system dir" returns the results to the terminal, not the WinHugs window.
2.4 Textpad vs DDE
Open textpad with new command: C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe -s %s(%d) (fixes DDE problems on certain systems, opens multiple instances on others...)
2.5 :edit
(colon)edit starts editing a weird file. Should create a new file in my documents and open that.
2.6 Automated package build
Required, so I can release things more easily and never get it wrong
2.7 FFI doesn't work
Nothing to do with FFI works, since I don't have a clue how FFI works myself.
3 Enhancements
3.1 cpphs support
Allow it to compile files with preprocessor directives, by automatically running cpphs on them first.
3.2 Less verbose file listing
Should be an option to list all files not in the Hugs directory loaded
3.3 Command History
also i want to suggest saving history of commands in the registry (or disk file) - this proved to be very useful in other shells. and about window with list of all commands - my shell (FAR manager) saves all the commands i use (now this list contains ~5000 ones!) and when i open this list and start to type some word, it just filers whole list and show only commands which contains this sequence of letters. that is damn useful. just for example i open this window and typed "hugs" - FAR filters out 146 commands which includes this word:
3.4 Error Highlighting
When an error occurs, see if you can "hilight" the bad bit on the screen.
3.5 Bracket Matching
See if you can automatically match brackets when typing at the prompt
3.6 Automatic type display
When you type a lexeme, see if you can automatically put its type in the status bar.

Post subject: Disabling of Caches Tagged as NM
Just curious what logic was used by our local reviewers.. some of us had geocaches that were disabled because they were tagged as Needing Maintenance. I had one cache that NM which I unfortunately wasn't aware of. It was disabled, and rightfully so. I am not debating that. But I am wondering what logic was used? Here's an instance of a cache that's had NM since August of last year and the cache owner hasn't logged in for months prior to that even.
The Cache
My cache DID need maintenance and it should have been taken care of. However, there are many other caches (and cachers) that need far more attention.

One of the caches on my watch list was recently disabled for the same reason. Someone did a NM on it over a year ago, It has been replaced, but the CO never removed the NM icon, so it was disabled

Since this is being brought up here, I can answer some questions publicly.
Right now I am going through caches that are flagged with the Needs Maintenance (NM) attribute
one at a time
and reading logs.
Generally speaking, they fall into 3 groups:
1) Caches with serious issues that have not been unattended to by the owner. Many, but not all of these, are disabled with a note asking the CO to repair their cache or it will be archived in 30 days. If they need more time or something else, all they need to do is post a note to the cache page. I will say that 99% of the caches that are disabled pending an owner's response or repair, a response is not posted and they are archived. My estimate is that only about 5% have been disabled.
2) Caches with the NM flag, but the issue is not affecting cache quality or findability. In these cases, after reading numerous logs to see if the issue has persisted over time, I am posting a Reviewer Note asking the CO to either attend to the maintenance issue or post a note that the issue has been already taken care of. Many cases the issue has been resolved but the CO never posted a "Owner Maintenance" log and the flag is still present. The note I post is a 'gentile reminder' with instructions on how to remove the MN flag. Please take it that way.
3) Caches that have very old NM flags posted. For these I am again reading numerous logs to see what is going on. If things appear to have been taken care of a long time ago, resolved on there own (log dried out on it's own), or the community helped out, I am going in and removing the NM flag. The typically happens in about 50% of the caches I look at.
I can assure you that many people are running PQ's that exclude caches with the NM flag set.
When I ran the first PQ a week ago, there were somewhere in excess of 2,200
active caches
in Minnesota with the NM flag set.
It's going to take me a long time.
Today's PQ was down to 1800. A very high percentage of the caches I posted Reviewer Notes to had been attended to. To that, I feel this has been a success so far.
To answer bfjente's question about a specific cache, I just haven't gotten to that one yet. (see above)
Be assured, that my intention is to improve the caching experience in Minnesota by looking into these NM flags. Do you like finding caches with soggy logs and missing containers?
If you would prefer that I didn't do a sweep of caches with NM flags in MN, just say so. I can stop if that's what the community wants. It is very time consuming. This past week I have spent many hours reviewing hundreds of caches with the NM flag. It's time I am volunteering to the sport to help make it better for you.
If you have specific caches that have issues I should address earlier,
please email me directly with the GC#. As you should be well aware of, I am very happy to work with you on cache related issues.
I would prefer that things like that are communicated to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) directly instead of on a public discussion forum. I have been monitoring the forums and FaceBook. No one has yet to come to me directly with a question.
Yes, when your cache gets a note (Disable of Reviewer Note) posted it's going to be a little shocking and maybe embarrassing.
Admittedly, I did start out rather randomly. I am now attempting to focus my review from the southern part of the state and work northward.
One final note: I am only human and sometimes make a mistake. If you see something that isn't correct, please email me directly and I will do my best to correct the situation.

Actually appreciate it as you have removed a lot of dead wood right here in my area by your sweep. The ones in Winona had issues that needed to be taken care of and the owners just seem to have graduated college and moved on.

Very nice work done by our reviewers to keep this game fun for everyone! My concern is the possibility of geo-trash accumulating when NM caches are archived and the CO is long gone. How is the best way to handle this? Local cachers taking it upon themselves to clean up after reviewer archival?

Gat R Done, here's a vote of support, especially because you take the time and effort to read through the cache logs to determine the level of action you're taking.

I appreciate all the time you put in, GatRDone. I currently have a cache with the NM attribute on because one person couldn't find it and decided that it must be missing. I assume that you will ignore that one. If it gets more dnf's I will check on it, but to log a NM after one dnf seems a little presumptuous to me.

The reviewers get a vote of support from me, too. I appreciate the work they do to give geocaching a good reputation. When trying to get permission from local entities, it helps that I can refer to the reviews which make sure that the caches meet certain standards and that they are maintained. I'd be willing to help remove any abandoned caches in my area if I could find them.
Oh and I checked to see if any of my caches had an NM on them. Just in case I had forgotten something.

While every situation is different, if a NM log was posted for something like a missing pencil, new cacher's DNF, etc. that is not affecting the cache's quality and there are logs afterwards that indicate the cache is fine, posting an 'Owner Maintenance' log to remove that flag would be the right thing to do. Simply state "looks like the issue has been resolved" or something similar in the log .

Hey, I know one local cacher who NEVER puts a pencil in the caches he hides, and even brags about it in his descriptions.

I just went in to post an 'Owner Maintenance' log and the 'Needs Maintenance' attribute is not on, even though the last log is a 'Needs Maintenance' log.
Are there general guidelines anywhere for when to post a 'Needs Maintenance' log that I can refer the cacher to. I hope they don't log a 'NM' every time they dnf a cache.

That's because people would never find them anyhow in 5 gallon buckets.

Interview: Southerland Talks Supercommittee, 2012
By Zayida Baker
Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., walked October 22 in Perry's annual Forest Day Parade. Dressed in jeans, he ran from one side of the crowd to the other, chatting and shaking hands. That afternoon Southerland spoke with Zayida Baker of Tea Party Patriots.
Find more of the interview here and here.
ZAYIDA BAKER: Do you think you're going to endorse anyone in [the Republican Senate] primary [to take on Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., in 2012]?
EDITOR'S NOTE _ Southerland's comments preceded the supercommittee's failure to agree on cuts by the Nov. 23, 2011, deadline, triggering $1.2 trillion in mandatory cuts January 2013, unless Congress passes a third option. Thus, Southerland's opinion of a third option, given below, is very relevant.
STEVE SOUTHERLAND: . . . I'm involved right now in the most difficult election of my career. Your first reelect is always your most important, always your most difficult. We've fielded some really good guys. . . . . I haven't had time, and I don't even know if I'll have an opportunity to really delve into their race right now because I'm so focused on ours. . . .
ZB: How is [your campaign] going for you?
SS: It's good. We are very pleased with the feedback we're getting. . . . We'll poll in January to try to get an idea of how we're doing. But you do have certain indications—when you do a parade route, and [you see] the warmth of the crowd, and the reception of the crowd; [we got] not a negative comment today. I've shaken the hands of, I've had interactions today with hundreds upon hundreds of people: not a single negative reaction. . . . I just can't help but think that people appreciate our standing up for what we believe, doing what we said we were going to do when we ran.
ZB: Well, the memory of [former Democrat Rep. Allen] Boyd is fresh in their minds.
SS: That's a novel idea—just do what you say you're going to do. And so this year is going to be tougher because a lot of the electorate last year was anti-Boyd; this year we need it to be pro-Steve. . . . You've got a voting record, so you've upset somebody. . . . [But] I think people appreciate the fact that we're standing on our principle, and if I disagree with my own leadership, I disagree with my own leadership. I'm not up there to further a career in leadership. I'm there to represent my district and to vote in the way that they would want me to vote.
ZB: Regarding this supercommittee [created in August by the deal to raise the debt ceiling, the Budget Control Act], . . . some members of Congress have said that . . . if for some reason this committee doesn't agree, they will seek to override the [$1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts]. What do you think about that?
SS: I didn't vote for the bill, so I didn't vote to create a supercommittee. We have a supercommittee, when we have 535 members of Congress in the House and the Senate representing 308 million people. . . . So I didn't feel that my constituents were interested in me giving their voting card to 12 other members of Congress that don't represent them. . . . I was uncomfortable with the concept of . . . forfeiting my input, and so I didn't vote for it. And I wasn't going to, in spite of what the Democrats want to claim, that all the Republicans want to end Medicare. My vote proved that those claims were fraudulent. . . . I don't know if there's going to be a third [option]; I would be interested in a third [option], because I wasn't happy with the bill. . . . That deal cut government spending $7 billion in the first year. That's about six hours of federal spending. There's an iceberg coming, drawing closer to the hull of our ship, and $7 billion this year is not enough to divert the iceberg. . . .
Ray Carlile, head of the O'Brien Tea Party, has called Southerland "a gem" and seems to think Southerland's actions speak louder than his words: "Southerland was not a politician. He may start to sound like he is one. Every time I hear him talk, he sounds like he's a politician, but still, he's doing what he said he would do, as far as I can see. And he's doing what I would consider to be the right thing to do, as far as I can see."

The NY Jets Need to Cut Ties with Darrelle Revis
An arrest warrant has been issued and charges have been formally filed against New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis in connection with a violent street altercation that took place this past Sunday in Pittsburgh. Revis faces charges of robbery, terroristic threats, conspiracy, and aggravated assault.
The NFL is notorious for being a league of second-chances... if you can still play. Therein lies the problem for Darrelle Revis. Between 2007-2015, quarterbacks targeting Revis had a passer rating of 60.4. In 2016, quarterbacks targeting Revis had a passer rating of 109.8.
Adrian Peterson, Marcel Dareus and Aldon Smith have all faced felony charges during the last 4 years, and all were welcomed back with open arms because they still had All-Pro talent. The problem for Darrelle Revis is his talent no longer exceeds his problems.
Clay Travis says the answer here is simple: The NY Jets need to cut ties with Darrelle Revis.
