And Boch beer .
Russian Sourdough Dark Rye
Russian sourdough dark rye is a hearty bread meant to accompany a main-meal soup and, maybe, some chunks of pickled herring. Or try it in a grilled cheese sandwich with Eastern European flair!
This bread takes some planning. The rye sour needs to be made 4 to 5 days ahead of baking day but, oh, it is so worth it.
Just remember, rye doughs tend to be sticky, so don't keep adding additional flour to eliminate the stickiness. This is the way it should be.
Makes 2 loaves
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 75 minutes
* Rye Sour:
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast (not rapid rise yeast)
1 cup water (warm to the wrist)
1 1/2 cups medium rye flour
1 thick slice raw onion
* .
* Dough:
1/4 cup water (warm to the wrist)
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast (not rapid rise yeast)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup pumpernickel or coarse rye meal
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup molasses
4 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate
Rye Sour
2 cups medium rye flour
1. Rye Sour: Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water and blend in 3/4 cup rye flour. Stir in onion, cover with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature. Let the sour rise and fall back. After this, stir the sour twice a day for three days. Remove onion and add remaining 1/2 cup water and remaining 3/4 cup rye flour. Cover and set aside. When the sour has risen and fallen once more (probably 1 more day), it is ready to use.
2. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup warm water, yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes or until bubbly.
3. Make the Dough: Meanwhile, in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the boiling water, pumpernickel, oil, salt, molasses, instant coffee and chocolate. When this has cooled, add the rye sour, yeast mixture, 2 cups medium rye flour and the remaining 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. Mix until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl, then knead 5 minutes.
4. Let the dough rest, covered, for 5 minutes and then knead another 5 minutes. Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough in it, turning once to oil the top. Cover and let rise until doubled.
5. Punch down dough and divide in half. Shape each into a round or oblong loaf and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until doubled.
6. About 15 minutes before you want to bake, place a pan on the lowest rack of the oven for water to be added to create steam, and place another oven rack directly above it for the bread. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
7. When ready to bake, slash the loaves with a lame bread-slashing tool or razor blade up to three times diagonally or once lengthwise and brush them with cold beaten egg whites.
8. Pour 2 or 3 cups of water into the pan to create steam. Place loaves on rack directly above. Bake 35-40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 195-200 degrees. Remove from oven and turn out of pans. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Rye bread has a gummy texture if eaten hot.
Good sour, poor bread,
"I look forward to making a different bread with the sour that I achieved from this process... I did save a little and fed it to perpetuate for further loaves. The sour is very lively with a strong onion aroma over the fermented rye. However, the resulting bread was inedible. The instant coffee overpowered the entire flavor, and the egg whites created too crisp a crust. The internal texture was alright, though I used only 2/3 the flour called for due to the dough breaking (during kneading) from not enough moisture. IF I were to retry this particular recipe, I might use cold drip coffee, which would mellow the coffee flavor and add needed moisture for increasing the flour. I would definitely skip the egg whites, or dilute them with a little milk."

It's been one month now that my other half, Tyler Beckham, has been stationed in Japan. (For those of you who are geographically challenged like I am, that's the opposite side of the world.) In dealing with the multiple hardships that dating someone who is an entire day ahead of you with little communication brings, I have come to a conclusion that I think will make day to day life much easier for those of us left at home. Ready for this?
Florida State Parks have a program called "parknerships" that involves, as you might guess, partnering with other agencies, civic groups and schools to achieve its goals.

A couple of years ago, when I first joined the Energy Advisory Group, one of the other volunteers suggested that we promote composting along with other initiatives like curbside recycling with unit based pricing, electric/water conservation and the weatherization program. My response at that time was – OMG, that's way over the top --- only the most dedicated "tree huggers" would ever do THAT! And, anyway, I thought to myself, "I don't have a garden and I hate yard work, why would I compost?"

DALLAS —Linebacker Zach Thomas appears headed back to Texas to play for the Dallas Cowboys in the state where he was a high school and college standout before 12 seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
Thomas has reportedly reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Cowboys.
A story on the Cowboys' Web site Saturday said the seven-time Pro Bowl player met team officials at the scouting combine in Indianapolis and was expected to sign a contract. There were numerous reports, including the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram, that Thomas and the Cowboys had agreed on a $3 million, one-year deal.
Thomas' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, didn't return messages left by The Associated Press. Cowboys officials also didn't respond.
Thomas was released Feb. 14 by the Dolphins, part of the massive rebuilding project being overseen in Miami by new vice president of football operations Bill Parcells, the former Cowboys coach.
The 34-year-old linebacker said after his release from the Dolphins that he planned to play with another team next season, more than likely one that can contend for a Super Bowl title—and give Thomas a chance at winning his first championship.
"I am healthy and look forward to playing in 2008, but will always consider myself a Miami Dolphin," Thomas said then.
Thomas also visited with officials from the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints.
But Thomas is a native of Pampa, Texas, and then went to Texas Tech. The Dolphins selected the 5-foot-11 linebacker 154th overall out of Tech in 1996, and he led them in tackles 10 times and is the teams' career leader in that category.
Thomas missed most of last season because of concussions and migraines and was placed on injured reserve against his wishes in December because of nagging migraines, an aftereffect of an Oct. 21 car crash.
He played 168 games in Miami, the most by a defensive player in Dolphins history. He had a career-best 165 tackles in 2006.

Under a newly proposed bill – House Bill 208 – state recipients of food stamps, Medicaid or other state assistance could face losing their benefits if they can't pass a drug test.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Lonnie Napier, R-Lancaster, has already won the backing of House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonburg. I think he might be onto something as well.

The Bridgeport Sound Tigers lost to the Hartford Wolf Pack Saturday night by a score of 4-1. Mike Keenan scored his first career American Hockey League goal, but it was the only time the Sound Tigers beat Wolf Pack goaltender Scott Stajcer, who made 27 saves on 28 Sound Tigers shots. With the loss, the Sound Tigers fall to 4-8-1-1 on the season.
The Wolfpack opened the scoring early, putting home the opening goal with less than a minute gone by in the contest. Danny Kristo hit Kyle Jean with a pass as Jean streaked into the Sound Tigers zone, giving Jean a clear break on Sound Tigers goaltender Anders Nilsson. Jean deked to the backhand and went top shelf to give Hartford a 1-0 lead. Later in the period, a missed shot from a Sound Tigers defenseman led to a 2-on-1 the other way for Hartford. Ryan Bourque sent a saucer pass through the slot to Andrew Yogan, who finished to make it 2-0 Wolf Pack.
Hartford got off to a similar start in the second period as they did in the first, putting home a goal just over a minute into the frame. With the Wolf Pack controlling the puck in the left corner, Marek Hrivik sent a puck out in front for Kristo, who was waiting at the top of the crease. Kristo got his stick on the puck and buried it for his team-leading ninth goal of the season.
The Sound Tigers got one back later in the second period as they converted on one of their six power-play chances of the game. Kirill Kabanov sent the puck to Johan Sundstrom in the left circle. Sundstrom and Keenan, who was set up at center point, played pitch-and-catch until the Dartmouth product blasted a one-timer through traffic and past Stajcer for first and only Sound Tigers goal of the game.
The Sound Tigers had their chances, however, and none better than the early stages of the third period when Darroll Powe was sent off for a high-sticking double minor. Before the first two minutes was up, Hartford was whistled for a delay of game penalty, giving the Sound Tigers a full two-minute 5-on-3 opportunity. Shot after shot whistled high and wide of the net as the Wolf Pack killed off both penalties and never surrendered another goal.
As time wound down in the third, the Wolf Pack added a fourth goal on a scramble in front of Nilsson, as Oscar Lindberg got to the loose puck and fired it home to give Hartford a 4-1 lead.
The Sound Tigers return to action Friday night in Providence before heading to Worcester on Saturday. They will next play at home against the St. John's IceCaps next Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

Submission + - Missing e-mail
Antony-Kyre writes: Since Microsoft hasn't been of any help, I'm asking Slashdot. Ever since they switched from the previous look to that "Outlook" look in Hotmail, I haven't received any spam. This isn't spam I block. This is spam I'm collecting that I'd like to eventually report and/or investigate (long story). It's been days now (not opening any messages to check the last time I received e-mail), and I don't know what to do. I usually expect perhaps dozens a week, but unless a spam network was recently taken down, I figure Hotmail is blocking e-mail at its source. Has anyone else been having similar problems?

Petrobras' (PBR) post-earnings slide continues.
The stock has touched a new 52-week low today and is down 0.8% to $16.15 at 2:27, continuing its slide since it reported falling earnings and cut its dividend. Even worse, the stock has plunged 19% annually during the past five years, making buy-and-hold investors regret the fact that they bought and held.
Still, bargain hunting investors may look at Petrobras decline and its price/earnings ratio of 5.5 times forward earnings and consider placing a small bet.
That's because there's no end in sight to Petrobras' troubles, says Pavel Molchanov, an analyst at Raymond James. Production is expected to remain basically flat, which means the company won't make more than it did last year unless the price of oil rises. At the same time, capital spending is expected to increase to $48 billion from $40 billion, which means that its cash flow problems are likely to get worse before they get better, Molchanov says.
And that means the company's already massive level of debt–about $96 billion at last count–is expected will likely get bigger. That's not a credit concern–Petrobras is a quasi-government issuer, after all–but paying the interest on its debt will hit the bottom line, Molchanav says.
The upshot: "The investability of the stock has diminished," Molchanov says. "We would avoid it."

Ground was broken in four round holes at the Bulgarmarsh Recreation Center on Friday, the first steps in the construction of a gazebo at the site.
TIVERTON — Ground was broken in four round holes at the Bulgarmarsh Recreation Center on Friday, the first steps in the construction of a gazebo at the site.
A crew from the town's public works department went to the playground early Friday, digging holes 4 feet deep to sink the tubes that will support a 24- by 24-foot steel structure.
The gazebo will be erected next to the baseball diamond and across the parking lot from the skate park and the children's playground.
There will be four footings 30 inches wide, one at each corner of the structure. Eight more footings, about a foot wide, will be set under the exterior walls. Once the concrete footings have been poured and cured, workers will pour a 4-inch reinforced concrete slab to act as the floor of the gazebo.
The prefabricated steel gazebo was built in Missouri and trucked to Tiverton in June. The kit cost $11,500 — all of it provided through donations to a gazebo fund over the past two years.
The company that built the gazebo offered to erect it, too, but at a very steep price, Public Works Director Steven Berlucchi said.
"For the kind of money they were asking, we thought we would give it try," he said.
Roger St. Ours operated a small excavator at the side, loading gravel and crushed stone into the holes to anchor and level the plastic tubes that will form the concrete footings.
The crew had strings set out to create level lines and were also using laser levels to check their work.
The gazebo is part of what has become a town recreation center. The park contains ballfields, playground equipment, a skate park and restrooms. The new library is under construction across the street. While the crew worked, they could hear songs and cheers from the children at the YMCA camp being run in Sandywoods Farms, 100 yards away.
Crews will keep at it as time permits, St. Ours said.
"If a tree falls on a road, we will have to stop to take of that, but we'll keep at this," he said.
"We should be done soon."

Former NFL safety and NFL Network analyst Darren Sharper was charged with two counts of rape by use of drugs in Los Angeles County on Friday, the county district attorney's office announced.
According to the district attorney's office, the 38-year-old Sharper is alleged to have drugged a pair of women in October and another two women in January. In both cases, Sharper is alleged to have given the women a shot after inviting them to his hotel room, the district attorney's office said.
Sharper also faces four charges of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of a possession of a controlled substance, according to the district attorney's office. According to the district attorney's office, which cited the complaint, the controlled substances alleged to have been given were morphine and zolpidem.
Deputy district attorney Stacy Okun-Wiese will seek a $10 million bail for Sharper, whom the district attorney's office says faces rape allegations in Arizona, Louisiana and Nevada. Sharper is to be arraigned on the charges on Friday morning.
Sharper was arrested by Los Angeles detectives on January 17. The NFL Network suspended him without pay the next day.

I found myself upside down and hanging by the passenger-side seat belt of a Ford Ranger pickup truck on Sunday.
It wasn't a view that I found appealing, but it was certainly one that got me to thinking.
Minutes earlier, my wife, Jodi, and I were on our way home from church and getting ready for a busy Sunday afternoon that included a graduation party and a birthday party.
Then my wife slowed to turn and the driver behind us didn't notice the blinking of our signal.
The rest, as they say, is history. All involved were OK. A couple vehicles were smashed, probably beyond repair, but they can be replaced.
Life goes on, thankfully.
I walked into work Tuesday afternoon, and I realized that my view on the sports world had to be temporarily altered.
For the first time since last August – and for the first time since I became sports editor last fall – there wasn't a long list of high school games that I had to budget into the section.
In fact, there weren't any prep sports on the schedule, and there won't be any until August, save for the SVM All-Star Classic basketball games next Thursday. The girls game is at 5 p.m. and the boys will follow that at Sauk Valley Community College. (I am not above a shameless plug.)
I won't lie that I had feelings of equal parts relief and trepidation about the reprieve in the prep sports action.
The school year is a grind for all of us here in the SVM sports department, and it feels very much like I did Sunday after impact when we hit the ditch and then rolled over.
But with high school sports, you just keep rolling from one game to the next, one story to the next, one season to the next.
Needless to say, a break is nice.
But it is also frightening, for it is my job to make sure that the section has local content in it every day.
Without that constant presence of local games, it means we have to look around a little harder for stories.
My view on the summer is that it gives us a chance to shine the spotlight off of youth and prep sports for a month or two and hit on those in the vast world of outdoor and community sports in the Sauk Valley.
Plus, the summer youth sports world is both fragmented and huge, making it impossible for us to give everyone a fair shake. That's part of the reason you don't really see us do much with Little League teams until July when All-Star teams have progressed past the state level. Before that, there's just more than we can possibly follow equally.
If you have an idea from any walk of life in the local sports world, don't be afraid to send me or any of my other SVM colleagues a note. We'll take it from there.
Before you know it, it'll be August and it'll be back to high school sports.
Because as you know, life goes on, thankfully.

Solution 1: Eager Fetching with :include
Rails provides an easy way to solve basic n+1 issues: eager fetching with the :include option. When fetching the post, we can fetch all of its comments and each corresponding user in far fewer SQL queries:
def show @post = Post.find params[:id], :include => { :comments => :user } end
In versions of Rails prior to 2.1, this statement would fetch the post, its comments, and the users with a single complicated query composed of SQL JOINs. The current version (2.1 at this writing) does not use JOINs, instead favoring one query per model that you specify in your :include parameter:
Post Load (0.000537) SELECT * FROM "posts" WHERE ("posts"."id"=1) Comment Load (0.001683) SELECT "comments".* FROM "comments" WHERE ("comments".post_id IN (1)) User Load (0.001375) SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE ("users".id IN ('6','1','2','3','4','5'))
In this example, one query fetches the post, a second query fetches the comments for that post, and a third query fetches the users that wrote the comments. This approach makes for a couple of extra queries, but JOINs can be expensive and become a bottleneck in their own right. Either approach is a big improvement over the original n+1 problem.
Solution 2: Eager Fetching with JOIN
There are times that the :include option alone isn't sufficient. What happens if a post is wildly popular and has comments by hundreds, even thousands, of users? The IN clause in the users query will have a lot of IDs, and performance will begin to sufferthe query may even fail if the list of IDs is too long. The solution is to fetch even more eagerly using a JOIN in your query. Instead of writing a query for find_by_sql, encourage Active Record to use a JOIN for you:
include => :user, :conditions => 'users.id is not null'
When you include a filter on users.id in the :conditions option, Active Record smartly fetches the users with a JOIN (specifically a LEFT OUTER JOIN) to satisfy the dependency you've introduced in the WHERE clause on the users table. It's probably a good idea to comment code like this to document the intent of the :conditions option.
Solution 3: has_many :through
Posts have a transitive dependency on users: A post has comments, and each comment has a user; therefore, a post has commenters. Use Active Record's has_many :through to declare this dependency:
# post model has_many :commenters, :through => :comments, :source => :user
Now each post provides a #commenters method, which returns the list of users who have commented on the post by executing a SQL query like this:
User Load (0.001009) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" INNER JOIN comments ON users.id = comments.user_id WHERE (("comments".post_id = 1))
To get the user from that list for a particular comment, we could use some simple Ruby in the view:
# this is not optimal! @post.commenters.detect { |u| u.id == comment.user_id }
Note that I'm calling #detect, not #find. This is because I want to invoke the method provided by the Enumerable module, and ActiveRecord::Base#find overrides Enumerable#find.
This strategy works pretty well for a small number of commenters; however, #detect performs a sequential search, an O(n) operation. This method won't perform well for a large value of n, when there are a lot of commenters. You might want to build a lookup hash for constant-time lookup, or O(1):
# controller @commenter_lookup = post.commenters.inject(Hash.new) do |hash, user| hash[user.id] = user; hash end
Now the view can fetch the user for a given comment from the hash:
# view @commenter_lookup[comment.user_id]
Solution 4: Aggregate
Another example of when the :include option isn't enough is when you are fetching aggregated data. Let's say you'd like to fetch the number of comments each user has created to display that next to the user's name. If you calculate it user by user (via comment.user.comments.count), you'll have another n+1 problem. One approach is to calculate the data for all relevant users in a single SQL query and build a lookup hash.
# controller @comment_count_lookup = @post.comments.all( :select => 'user_id, COUNT(*) as num_comments', :group => 'user_id').group_by(&:user_id)
This code, which could be in a controller or model, gets the number of comments for each user by grouping by user_id and counting the rows in each group with the SQL COUNT function. The #group_by method creates a hash where the key is the user_id (because it's returned by the block), and the value is an array containing all items with that key. The view can use this hash to look up the count for a given user:
# view <%= @comment_count_lookup[comment.user_id].first.num_comments) %>
The view looks up the record for the comment's user_id in the hash, and needs to call #first to pull the one and only record out of the array before getting the count.
Code like this should be well commented, particularly the fact that it addresses a performance issue. There is another option for this kind of problem: denormalization.
Solution 5: Denormalize
"Normalize until it hurts. Denormalize until it works."
In a perfectly normalized database, there is only one representation of any particular fact. Taken to the extreme, this results in a space-efficient database with no chance of duplication or inconsistency. This is a wonderful ideal, but it comes at a cost: time-efficiency. We software developers walk a fine line between idealism and pragmatism.
Active Record makes it very easy to denormalize the number of comments that a user has created. Just enable a counter cache on the association:
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :post belongs_to :user, :counter_cache => true end
And create a migration to add an integer column named comments_count to the users table. Here's a migration that adds the column and calculates the count for each user because our users have created comments before we added this denormalization:
class AddUsersCommentsCount < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up add_column :users, :comments_count, :integer, :default => 0 User.reset_column_information User.all.each do |u| User.update_counters u.id, :comments_count => u.comments.count end end def self.down remove_column :users, :comments_count end end
Every time users create a new comment, their comments counter cache is incremented, and if they delete a comment, the counter cache is decremented. Now the view can display the user's comment count without any additional database queries:
<%= comment.user.comments_count %>
Counter caches are a simple type of denormalization that is built into Active Record, but your requirements might be more complex. Let's say you want to denormalize the date and time of the user's first comment. I would use the before_create and before_destroy lifecycle hooks to keep the data in sync:
# comment.rb def before_save # time can only move forward, so this is pretty simple user.update_attribute (:first_comment_at, Time.now) if user.first_comment_at.nil? end def before_destroy # need to handle case where user deletes their first comment earliest = user.comments.first :conditions => ['id <> ?', self.id], :order => 'created_at' user.update_attribute(:first_comment_at, earliest.created_at) end
Ruby the language and Rails the framework often take a beating from detractors on the question of performance. Ruby's not in the running to be the fastest language, and it's not even the fastest interpreted language. Rails isn't the fastest framework. However, if Ruby or Rails is your bottleneck, consider yourself lucky! Most unexpected performance challenges are related to querying the database and aren't detectable until the app has been in the wild, which is no different than any other software development framework.

LBJ Statue
The LBJ Statue was unveiled in September 2006 and is located in the Quad in front of Flowers Hall.
The near life-size statue depicts a young Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th president of the United States, as he may have appeared while a student at Texas State, then known as Southwest Texas State Teachers College. Johnson graduated from Texas State in 1930 with a bachelor of science in history with a permanent teaching certificate.
Commissioned by the Associated Student Government, the statue is the work of acclaimed sculptor Lawrence Ludtke of Houston. Ludtke was a fellow in the National Sculpture Society and a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of British Sculptors.
Texas State remains the only university in Texas to have graduated a U.S. president or vice president. While Johnson's memory remains alive on campus — the LBJ Student Center is named in his honor, as is the university's Lyndon Baines Johnson Distinguished Lecture Series — this is the first statue of the former president on campus.
After his graduation, Johnson returned to the Texas State campus many times, both as president and in his retirement years. In 1965, he returned to his alma mater to sign the Higher Education Act, which opened the doors of higher education to many who could not previously afford it.

Military Deployment And Homecoming Resources
Currently the Department Of Defense employs well over 3 million personal. Almost half of which are Ready and Stand by Reserves. Since 1990, there have been six occasions on which the President has initiated an involuntary call-up of Reserve Component members to active duty. The use of Guard and Reserve troops to support operational requirements has steadily grown from around 900,000 duty -days annually in the early 1990s to an annual level of over 12 million duty-days since 1995. As of May 7, 2003 there were 219,497 Reserve and National Guard on active duty.

Feb. 27, 2007
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The defending national champion UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team has taken the first step towards returning to the College Cup for the third time in four years with the addition of midfielder Ciaran O'Brien, a sophomore transfer from the University of San Diego, to the roster in 2007.
A native of Tacoma, Wash. and the 2005 Washington State Gatorade Player of the Year, O'Brien is expected to help fill the void in the Gaucho midfield left by the departure of Tyler Rosenlund. The All-College Cup selection leaves UCSB for the professional ranks after scoring four goals and four assists in 17 games as a junior.
The most widely recruited transfer player in the nation, O'Brien comes to UCSB after a very successful freshman campaign with the Toreros. He appeared in a total of 19 games and started 14 for a San Diego team that finished with a 10-8-1 overall record last season and a 5-6-1 mark in West Coast Conference play. A NSCAA Freshman All-America, O'Brien was third on the squad with six goals and four assists for 16 points in 2006. He was also named to the All-WCC second team and earned co-freshman of the year honors for his performance at USD.
The 5' 9" midfielder was a four-year starter at Decatur High School, where he earned NSCAA high school All-American honors. O'Brien tallied 38 goals and 29 assists for the Gators and was an All-South Puget Sound League First Team selection all four years at DHS. He was named the league MVP as a sophomore and a senior.
"Ciaran is big time personality player that will be able to step right in and make a difference for us," head coach Tim Vom Steeg said. "He is very good at going forward and attacking from midfield and he is talented around the box, as well. We are very pleased Ciaran has decided to join our program and his addition will ensure that we will once again field one of the most talented midfields in the country."
O'Brien was also recruited by the University of Washington, Indiana, and Maryland before deciding to transfer to UCSB.

Donald Driver Way
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – One of the Green Bay Packers most popular players gets a special tribute. The City Council Tuesday night voted unanimously to rename a downtown street "Donald Driver Way." The wide receiver retired last month after spending 14 seasons with the Packers. Driver is also recognized for his off-the-field charity work. Driver retired after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards after making the team as a seventh-round draft pick out of Alcorn State in 1999.

HANOVER, N.H. – The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) announced its annual all-region teams Tuesday afternoon with three Dartmouth players earning All-Northeast honors.
Seniors Courtney Bennett and Hana Bowers were tabbed as members of the first team, while classmate and fellow tri-captain Kelsey Johnson earned a spot on the second team.
Already selected to the All-Ivy League First Team and the Ivy League All-Tournament Team, Bowers and Bennett continue to earn some of the highest honors from head coaches from across the area. Additionally, Johnson was a Second-Team All-Ivy League player and another of the Big Green's four recipients of all-tournament honors this past weekend.
In receiving this regional recognition, all three student-athletes are now eligible for inclusion as IWLCA All-Americans.
Bowers is recording points at a torrid pace this season for the Green as she currently leads the team in goals (48), assists (15) and points (63). The Old Greenwich, Conn., native posted 10 points and eight goals this past weekend in Philadelphia, establishing Ivy League Tournament records in both categories. Bowers' point total this spring ranks as the ninth-best in program history, while her 48 goals are 10th.
Bennett has been the most consistent player across the board in 2013. A standout in the midfield, the Darien, Conn., native has also proven herself as one of the toughest defenders not only in the Northeast, but in the entire nation. Bennett leads the team in both draw controls (52) and caused turnovers (21) this year, demonstrating her immense importance in every area of the field. Even while proving her worth in the midfield and in the defensive end, Bennett has registered 21 points to tie for fourth on the team in total scoring as she has 13 goals and eight assists.
Johnson has routinely been tasked with marking up against the opposition's top offensive player throughout the 2013 campaign. A stellar one-on-one defender, the Hingham, Mass., native has set new career highs in caused turnovers (20) and ground balls (35) during her senior spring. In addition to her outstanding play in Dartmouth's defensive zone, Johnson has also stepped up her offensive contributions this year as her five goals, five assists and 10 points are all new career-best marks.
Bowers, Bennett, Johnson and the rest of the Big Green are back in action this weekend as they travel to Syracuse to take on Boston College in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament Friday at 4 p.m. The winner of that match-up will move on to the second round to play No. 4 Syracuse on Sunday, May 12 at 3 p.m.
The IWLCA has honored 128 student-athletes in Division I with a selection on one of the All-Regional teams for 2013. These athletes are now eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA All-American teams, which will be announced on May 17. The IWLCA will honor the National All-Americans at the IWLCA All-American banquet on May 25, 2013 at the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge in King of Prussia, Pa.

There's no question that his bat is the thing that excites scouts the most. He's got great hands and a good bat path. Early in the season, he did have some trouble when he was having a mechanical issue at the plate. Coach Tim Chambers described it as him sitting down too much, which would force him to lunge a little bit and get out in front with his core.That, in turn, meant he was forced to use his arms and shoulders too much in his swing. When he was doing that, hard inside stuff could cause him some trouble. While he was fighting it at times and had to be reminded not to sit back, he had largely corrected it after the first couple of weeks of the season.
"I really don't fight myself a lot," said Harper, who's hitting .420/.514/.864 over 27 games. "You just want to be the guy, and you want to do it every time. I had a little mechanical issue, I guess, but everything's going good now, so I'm not going to change it."
Nor should he, really. Even when he was having the mechanical issue, his ability to use all fields was uncanny.
"Pitches, middle away, he's about as good as I've ever seen. At age 17, to hit the ball to straight away center or to the opposite field like that, with wood, is freaky." …

Great rewards carry great expectations.
You certainly don't have to tell that to members of the Evergreen High School Poms squad.
One look at the banners in the school's gymnasium, though, only tells part of the team's story.
While the Poms has won six state titles since 1996 (1998, 2001-03, 2005 were the other years), perhaps an even more impressive feat is the 15 consecutive trips Evergreen has made to Nationals.

Main character: Manegarm
Hear me bark!
You personally opened up on my reaver with an ambush recently. Were you rolling with tears that you had cc'd me and kicked off those bleeds and slow before I could charge?
When a burg/champ/champ/mini/etc stuns a warg and a lm drops a lotrd on the warg shortly after, in those few seconds the warg gets nuked, the warg is not immune to the 'you may not use any skills at all' it just dies quicker. CC is prevalent and effects everybody. What is different is if you play a toon who is more survivable; So that the initial burst does not kill you. Seriously if you resent CC, I am speachless to what you think creeps have endured for years. God bless diminishing returns and audacity cc reduction.
I am going to assume, given your comment about rune keepers that you have never tried to creep against one. Not only do they stun and slow, but they can passively chain stun you each time you hit them just for kicks.
Trust me burgs chainstun whenever they can and as for loremasters >.< They take a break from CC long enough to pop a stacking bleed or debuff on you, bit like wargs do when they hit you with claws or debuff you. Oh that is when loremasters are not spam healing themselves, which those wargs cannot lol.
Now just to be clear, you don't see other classes who use cc in a group to nuke down a target. Creeps are not held helpless while nuked or are not feared and slowed/bled incurably/stunned routinely as part of being killed:P ok, thats a gem.
If you mean hit and run, then fomerly more populous burgs did this. If burgs got a buff the moors would again be crawling with them doing the same all over. If you meant spawncamping, you know that hunters used to hang around spawn and nuke targets in 3 shots, very skillful, d/fing if they got tracked or spotted?
But more importantly there is not any real difference in a rk, mini, champ, cappie, hunter and tank and lm nuking a target and then using heals, shield walls, last stands, sprints, spike heals on the move, hots, stun immunites, roots, bubbles etc etc to then get to a place of safety like lug backdoor or whatever.
Because if you are implying there is a huge amount of skill in using the extreme skills any class has then my word you over rate this game. Because pressing a few buttons, even if they are not labelled sprint is not academy level stuff. People are just using the options available to them to do the same thing, defiant challenge anyone? It requires a degree of competance for sure to coordinate a team.
There is no offensive use for this skill, unlike sprint. Sprint does not remove you from the map. You can be interrrupted by cc and killed, you can be found elsewhere, possibly bleeding and unable to stealth and killed, or followed on horse, tracked and pursued.
At no point during my post did I claim hunters to be easier, or harder to play than wargs. It made for an interesting choice for comparison rather than your own class.
Hunters have one thing wargs don't; extreme ranged damage. Having d/f as well was ridiclous. You know that a lot of wargs die.. a lot; if wargs had d/f as well, I'd just be agreeing with you. Sprint is a very powerful tool.
So to summarise:
In order for skill to be present, wargs should gain back morale for each hit they make, a limited time avoid all damage skill (dodgem doggie) should be added, a full heal on hips, rising evade for skill combos, an auto knockdown on tendon shred, lose pounce and sprint and silence, but gain a dot fear and ranged goblin javelin thrower on their back that never runs out of javelins, an immunity to stun skill combo and a serious increase in their incurable bleeds, flayer mitigations in shadow, oh and a straight increase in non-positional damage.
That would be fine then.
Or they could just put bad wardens of angmar against good wardens of bree and remove all the other toons maybe? We'd all be "highly skilled", if not even more bored than we are now.
Cya out there. I like the word obviate. Ungulate is also a good word.

Anyway, feel free to "ignore" me, as the content of your replies seems to suggest to me that you're not reading too closely anyway, it would at least save me the effort of having to correct you again and again.
A wise man once said!
''It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it become rigid and stale.Understanding others,will help you become whole.''
P.S: im not judging wardens play style...it's how they created...but first try play a warg and get your own idea!!!
I've blackened the sun and I've bloodied the moon.
Should make a thread "naming and shaming" all the clubbers. Think someone mentioned it last night in OOC.
Was great action last night sending 2 Tyrants into TA.
Cya in the moors!
Not sure if you are trolling tbh.

So I was fighting a warden, and he stabbed me with a spear.
This is obnoxious and an abusive use of skills.

However NOT to lol about for creeps is the 2nd release notes (subj to change) for U10, as live on Bullroarer right now. Defilers and Weavers: forget about decent power drains from flies and toxin...2 updates (incl RoR) and 2 flies nerfs
Monster Play
- Standardized un-traited creep power pools
- Critical Defence Changes
- The amount of Critical Defence provided by the innate Armour Passive has been reduced. We wanted to create more parity between Freep and Creep access to Critical Defence and felt that the base values were so high they did not encourage investment in Critical Protection Corruptions.
- The amount of Critical Defence provided by Critcial Protection Corruptiosn has been increased to 1376 per Corruption.
- Adjusted power costs, restoration effects, and ICPR buffs on all skills to provide creeps with a similar treatment that the Freeps have received. With these changes, Creeps should find that they are able to actively participate in combat for longer periods of time. Although many restoration effects and buffs have been reduced, innate power expenditure should be at a much more manageable point.
- Increased base ICPR rate
- Increased the cooldown of Time-Out to 90s and reduced power return and ICPR buff
- Decreased the power return of Wrath
- Reduced the power restore of Against All Odds while traited
- Reduced the power restore on Feast
- Reduced the ICPR provided by Drinker of Blood
- Reduced the power drain effect on Toxin
- Increased base ICPR rate
- Reduced the power restore on Centre
- Reduced the ICPR provided by Tireless Warrior
- Increased base ICPR rate
- Decreased the ICPR provided by Command Post
- Increased the power restored by Quitters Never Win
- Reduced the ICPR provided by Empowering
- Reduced the ICPR provided by Tireless Warrior
- Increased the ICPR provided by Shadow stance
- Reduced the power drain/restore effects on Plague of Flies (EDIT: live reports state approx MAX 60-85 per sec now at highest rank/all traits)

For what its worth, you forgot:
•Six new Critical Rating Corruptions have been added to all Monsterplay classes.
Looks like its era 10 ongoing return of the freep healerfest when you read every change. Power drains are going to become almost irrelevent.

Anyone who has an interest in trying to get Turbine to take action against clubbing, please post here:
You sound like a hunter player. Are you? Because this looks very much like trolling. A warden complaining about warg cc.... Lol. Try creeping and discover what being hit by cc really looks like.
Delotha always used to move around in stealth when he played, he even walked from GV to TA in stealth. I came across him by accident a few times in the middle of nowhere. Maybe that has changed now, but hunters sure could move in stealth in RoI, and they had pretty nice stealth too if they used various items. Has that changed?
Hunters are Renown winners. How much more do you want?
Freeps don't solo as much as before, no. Same goes for creeps. You will encounter some soloers but much, much less than in RoI. Are you arguing to argue or did you misread?
A smart hunter will rarely have to melee. The hunter's advantage is RANGE and any half decent hunter will manage to use that advantage. Sure, sometimes melee can't be avoided, but RANGE goes most of the time.
We're only missing Pelt here to tell us how underpowered hunters are and how op all creeps are. That would make this complete.
Solo.... How many hunters that you know of are SOLO, as in the term ALONE with no freeps around him?
Anakin Skywalker will claim that he is solo a lot, but we all know that's not true. If you see Anakin Skywalker, you KNOW there are other freeps close. He may not be grouped, but he sticks with other freeps. That is no crime, he's only playing on his strengths.
Hunters usually have other freeps around them, keeping wargs at bay. We all remember the oc/ec fights where hunters and other ranged freeps were kings and queens. Hunters rank easily because they are ranged. How can you argue that? And in doing so, they are easy, also because you really don't have to move or get positional or worry about cc or worry about any melee.
In RoI, hunters could move around with good stealth. Has that changed with RoR or not?

About Hunter movement in Stealth, only Elf Hunters can do it, at a greatly reduced movement speed and -3 Stealth Level, it is a Racial Trait with a CD of 30mins, so yes some Hunters can move in stealth once every 30mins, this is hardly equal to Warg or Burg stealth.
There are items that can increase tthe Stealth Level, but these are not in general geared for Hunters, but for Burgs, they are also in the main pretty krap with really poor stats, and I`ve never seen a Teal Item with +Stealth on it, so to use it as a Hunter would be greatly gimping his Stats.
As far as Hunters go , yes they are easy to level, and they used to be great Renown gatherers, and to a certain extent they still can be in a Raid, but in a Raid the Renown is shared so the Raid Hunter is no longer making masses of Renown for himself, even a solo Hunter leeching off a Raid no longer gets the numbers he used to.
Hunters rely hugely on thier CC for solo`ing, to keep a Creep at range a Hunter MUST have viable CC, unfortunately the Creep Brand has made nearly all Freep CC unviable, loads of Creeps now have these Brands, and a fair few Creeps have more than one, and Creeps are not shy in using them, this has made it nearly unviable for a Hunter to solo, because once the Creep is in melee most Hunters are dead, yes there are exceptions.
The whole Hunter/Warg debate is based on melee Vs ranged, unfortunately Audacity, Brands and certain Creep skills have made keeping an enemy AT Range a whole lot harder, making the solo Hunter a scarcely seen entity.
I dont hug, I keep my distance, about 40m.
As for solo hunters there are still some. Dirac was around today; I saw him at lc and watched as he tracked me but alas was on the phone and did not want a fight. I saw him later near tr and jumped him (immune popped up), unfortunately two bas were nearby and nuked him. Vlaan was also gutsy enough to give this a go.
Wargs also rely on cc, removing it would mean they would need to be much beefier, as it is freeps have tools to manage this also. The viability of a solo hunter has changed a lot tho, that is true. They are not unplayable, but they are a taller order now.
Having powerful ranged attacks is a biggie; its probably top of the useful things in my toolkit list and why minis, rks (even those with dual boxed pocket captains which you all accept is ok I assume), lm's and hunters will thrive on the moors in terms of renown in a multitude of situations. There is no warg/hunter debate in reality, its like saying which is nicer strawberries or chilli?

If you see Anakin Skywalker in moors you got to take your pills, or wake up. Callin people "funny" names its low, very low.Anakin Skywalker will claim that he is solo a lot, but we all know that's not true. If you see Anakin Skywalker, you KNOW there are other freeps close. He may not be grouped, but he sticks with other freeps. That is no crime, he's only playing on his strengths.
I cannot and i dont, because you keep changing subject. Solo =/= zerg, easy to play =/= easy to gain points.Hunters usually have other freeps around them, keeping wargs at bay. We all remember the oc/ec fights where hunters and other ranged freeps were kings and queens. Hunters rank easily because they are ranged. How can you argue that?
Still off topic.And in doing so, they are easy, also because you really don't have to move or get positional or worry about cc or worry about any melee.

Hart scores 19, No. 8 Villanova beats Rider 88-67
Hart scores 19, No. 8 Villanova beats Rider 88-67
Dec. 22, 2013
VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — With his team coming off its break for final exams and a showdown against No. 2 Syracuse looming next week, Villanova coach Jay Wright had a couple of major concerns heading into Saturday's game against Rider.
As has been the case all season, it turned out he had nothing to worry about.
Led by a career-high 19 points off the bench from freshman Josh Hart, No. 8 Villanova remained perfect with an 88-67 rout of Rider.
One of a dozen unbeaten teams remaining in Division I, the Wildcats (11-0) are off to their best start since the 1961-62 team won its first 12.
"That's a great start, man," Wright said. "I'm very proud of that. There have been a lot of great teams here at Villanova. I didn't realize it was that long ago. I'm happy for these guys and I'm happy for our program."
JayVaughn Pinkston added 14 points for Villanova, which shot 50 percent from the field in its final non-conference home game of the season.
The Wildcats now put their unbeaten record on the line against former Big East rival Syracuse next Saturday at the Carrier Dome, before opening their Big East slate on the road against Butler three days later.
The No. 2 Orange are also undefeated at 11-0.
"Everyone's been talking about the Syracuse game," Wright said. "It's really a pleasure to coach guys who can focus on the next game and have respect for their opponent. That's what we did today."
Anthony Myles, Rider's top scorer, had a game-high 22 points. Jimmie Taylor added 15 points for Rider (5-5) and Daniel Stewart scored 13.
The visiting Broncs managed to hang around for much of the first half, pulling within five with 4:41 left until halftime on a pair of free throws from Taylor.
But the Wildcats closed the half on a 16-7 spurt, capped by a 3-pointer from Tony Chennault in the final seconds, to take a comfortable 43-29 lead into the break.
"I thought Villanova did a really good job of taking us out of some of the things we wanted to get accomplished," Rider coach Kevin Baggett said. "Those guys are really good. They're definitely being worthy of being ranked eighth in the country."
Villanova's pressure rattled Rider as the Wildcats extended their lead even further in the second half.
With just under 15 minutes to go, Darrun Hilliard stole the ball from Shawn Valentine in the backcourt and finished with a slam to give Villanova a 56-35 advantage.
Hilliard finished with 13 points and has scored in double figures in all but one game this season.
"We're not going to take a step back," Hilliard said. "We'll wait until March or April to relax."
Hart shot 7 for 8 from the floor and 3 for 4 from 3-point range, scoring 14 points after the break. The freshman finished an acrobatic drive with just under 13 minutes remaining to put Villanova ahead 60-35.
The Wildcats led by as many 27 before emptying their bench with one minute left.
"I'm feeding off my teammates," Hart said. "They're just finding me in good spots to score."
Hart is averaging 9.5 points in 22 minutes per game this season. He has been one of his coach's most pleasant surprises.
"We've got guys who've been through a lot and they spend the time teaching our young guys," Wright said. "That helps our freshmen."
Hart wasn't the only reserve player to have a big game as Villanova got 40 points from its bench.
For Wright, having a deep roster is one major reason why the Wildcats have outscored their opposition by an average of nearly 18 points per game this season and have already picked up marquee wins over No. 18 Kansas and No. 25 Iowa.
"I think that's going to be something over the course of the season that can really be valuable to us," Wright said. "We really haven't been shooting the ball great from 3 but what has been consistent is our bench contribution every night. It's been different guys. Most nights we're getting a lot of production off the bench."
Villanova owns a 24-1 all-time record against Rider, with the Broncs' only win coming in 1944, and is 49-2 in its last 51 non-conference games at home.

A short film about a Japanese yakuza who loves Lamborghinis. Very cool
It's why nobody can pick a lock in Finland. And the locksmiths will fail too. All the locks in Finland are made by Abloy.
it is true almost all of them are made by abloy. you can't even copy those keys because they are made with the computer stuff.
in our last rented flat, my wife lost a key and we had to pay almost 500$ because they had to change the locks
This guy's got chops. The cook, not the presenter... ;-)
Shibui - simplicity devoid of unnecessary elements


text: I am not fond of hiring tired old retreads for HC's. But in this case, this could be great situation for Reid. A Midwest venue away from the East coast media hounds may be what the doctor ordered. He and his family have gone through alot in Philadelphia and most likely worn him down. If KC can get the right guy at QB, KC will be formidable in 2-3 years. I would wish you guys good luck, but I would be lying. :D

In his latest post, Wez Furlong shares some of the updates he's made to his blog - specifically when it comes to the external user authentication system he's implemented.
Why do I have an external authentication mechanism? I don't want to maintain a user database just for my blog. It's more moving parts and requires things like sending email pings to random email addresses and mechanisms for resetting or retrieving a forgotten password. Not to mention that it's yet another username/password to be remembered by the person doing the commenting.
So, instead, he authenticates against the php.net cvs setup for any and all users of his site. He transitions from this over to the main point of the post - his thoughts on authentication, specifically the move towards a more centralized resource to bounce the user's information off of. He mentions TypeKey and OpenID as two technologies that are moving in the right direction.
Bringing it back to PHP, Wez notes that the PHP support for both of these technologies is very lacking, but he's been working on a patch for the openssl extension that could help that significantly.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The upcoming third bi-annual Christ at the Checkpoint conference in Bethlehem bills itself as a platform for dialogue and reconciliation between Israeli and Palestinian believers. But it has been revealed that there are certain Israeli voices the organizers have no interest in hearing.
In late 2010, just a little over a year prior to the second Christ at the Checkpoint, Israeli tour guide Kay Wilson and her visiting Christian friend, Kristine Luken, were attacked by Palestinian terrorists outside Jerusalem. Luken was killed, while Wilson miraculously survived, despite severe injuries.
Wilson writes in The Times of Israel that having recovered from the attack, she approached one of the Christ at the Checkpoint speakers about speaking at the 2012 convocation, only to be rebuffed because for the hundreds of other participants to hear her story was "not what the Lord wants." Wilson later revealed to Israel Today that the speaker that approached the conference organisers on her behalf was Richard Harvey.
To be sure, there were other Israeli and Messianic speakers at the gathering, but none were direct victims of Palestinian terrorism, and all could be counted on to be overtly diplomatic or to avoid confronting the Palestinian nationalist agenda entirely.
This revelation by Kay Wilson is further evidence of what some in the Israeli Messianic body have been saying all along: that the reconciliation most of those involved with Christ at the Checkpoint want involves the Jews, on bended knee, begging for forgiveness for daring to hold fast to God's promises regarding their inheritance of this land.
Any voice that would too strongly challenge that outcome is, apparently, unwelcome.
Wilson goes on to wonder how any Israeli, and we would add any Israeli Messianic believer, could justify participating in a conference that has chosen to associate itself with theologians advocating Replacement Theology and Palestinian officials with clear ties to recognized terrorist organizations.
"For any self-respecting person, and especially for Israelis such as myself, the endorsement of terror by association, at a Christian conference, is obscene," she writes.
Wilson makes a number of other excellent points regarding Christ at the Checkpoint and its headlining organizers and speakers. Click Here to read the whole article.

GAMBRILLS, Md. (AP) — A New Jersey detective charged with fatally shooting a fellow motorist during a roadside confrontation in Maryland has been released on a $1 million bond.
A jail representative confirmed Thursday that Joseph Walker of Eastampton, N.J., has been released. Walker is accused of killing 36-year-old Joseph Harvey Jr. on Saturday.
Walker's attorney has said the detective did not initiate the fight and that Harvey ignored repeated warnings from Walker, who identified himself as a police officer. The attorney has said Walker's wife and children were in the van and Harvey threatened to kill the family.
Walker is a sworn officer with the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey. He has been suspended from duty without pay.

Four UC Hastings patent law students have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the justices to hear a case to help decide whether and to what extent software and similar computer-implemented inventions can be patented.
The subject of the amicus brief is CLS Bank v. Alice Corp. Clarifying the issues around software patents could significantly curtail the uncertainty and attendant costs in patent litigation.
The 10-member en banc Federal Circuit split sharply, releasing seven different opinions. The issues are thus ripe for resolution by the high court.
For many years, lower courts have been grappling with what is, and is not, patentable subject matter. The issue has been particularly vexing in the areas of business processes, software, and genetic medicine.
The Constitution provides authority for a federal patent system, and according to long-ago rulings by the Supreme Court, laws of nature, abstract ideas, and purely mental steps cannot be patented. So, for example, one can't get a patent on the law of gravity or on how to count to 100. The more complicated issue is when one programs or configures a computer to count to 100, or to perform far more complex calculations or set of operations.
Although the Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction over patent litigation from all the district courts across the nation, the many split opinions in CLS Bank did little to settle the matter. The patents at issue in CLS Bank included various types of claims—a computerized method, a computer-readable medium containing computer instructions, and a computer system to implement those instructions—that were directed to a method of avoiding risk during the closing of financial transactions by using third-party escrow accounts.
A three-judge panel in the Federal Circuit had ruled that the claimed inventions were not patentable, the Federal Circuit agreed to rehear the case en banc, but could not agree how to handle the matter. As one patent scholar noted, "they managed to issue a two-sentence opinion, simply affirming that the claims are not patentable subject matter, and followed that up with over 130 pages of concurrences and dissents."
The four students are in the Current Issues in Patent Law seminar at UC Hastings. When they noticed that the window to file an amicus brief in the case overlapped with their course work this term, the quartet agreed to work as a team on the brief. They argue that the Supreme Court should hear the case, and suggest a test the court should use in determining the underlying issues:
"Some portion of patent disputes invariably will continue to go to trial. …A considered and thorough opinion from this Court will nevertheless establish adept precedent, something that the Federal Circuit, despite toil and earnest scrutiny, has been unable to do. CLS Bank poses a suitable and representative case for review."
"To ignore the question of patentability of computer-implemented patents is to acquiesce in continued uncertainty in the patent community and to passively endorse more crowded USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) and patent court dockets."
The case has drawn experienced patent counsel from some of the top intellectual property firms in the country, including Sidley & Austin and, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher; and amicus briefs from groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), the world's largest technical professional association.
The UC Hastings amicus was written by 3Ls Molly A. Jones and Jacob J. True; 2L Katherine D. Stepanova; and Mike H. Liu, an MSL student. Professor Rory Little, a constitutional law scholar admitted to practice before the high court, signed their brief as counsel of record. "It's wonderful to see students so engaged in active lawyering," Little said.
"If anyone ever asks them if they know how to file a brief with the Supreme Court, they're going to be able to say yes," Little told The Recorder.
A decision from the Supreme Court on whether to grant certiorari is expected sometime this winter.

Well today started out C*O*L*D!! Somewhere way below freezing, heard numbers like 25, 22 and even 18. We had NO water in Tana's holding tanks. We did not have the hoses hooked up. The water pipes to each campsite in the campground - - frozen! So, since we could not shower, Man and I did what all respecting RVer's do, we went out to breakfast!
When we returned, we put hairdryers on the pipes and before long all 4 rigs had running water. By noonish we had cleaned up, filled up the fresh water systems to the brim and were ready to roll.
Here we come Quartzsite, there it is down there - -
Yep, we are in Quartzsite! They are open, and so, is the RV dealer whose business is just behind the sign! LOL Those are camels down at the bottom, referring to, I am sure, Hi Jolly. (Go ahead, check my blog for the story or do an internet search.)
Rigs all over the place, arriving by the minute, hundreds, thousands, by next weekend there will be somewhere between 500,000 and 1.5 million RVers in the area. Yea, really!
Our destination Plomosa Road, there it is!
There is the Montana circle, we have arrived! (And, NO U turns today!)
And, thanks to friend Mina Greenlee, here is what the MOC caravan looked like arriving.
Parking is scientific in the MOC circle, lay out a 150 foot rope, one end of the rope is driven into the desert floor in the middle of the circle, stretch it out nice and straight, rigs drive in, straddle the rope with their tow vehicles and rigs, and - -
a perfect circle every time!
(See the rope laying on the ground, and our kind and accurate guide motioning us?)
Jolly and Tana and our home for the next ??? days.
Sunset, saguaro, sighhhhh - - -
*Oh, and the day ended up cold too. Everyone talks about it, complains about it, grabs another layer of coats and sweaters and hats and earmuffs and a warm drink, and complains a bit more, and then, we all laugh. We are either nuts, or determined, I just cannot figure out which.
Of course, the warm friendships help! All those hugs greeting old friends, yep, they warm ya up!
