Less than two weeks after losing a member for the first time in 41 years, the ACC has added the University of Louisville.
League presidents approved the Cardinals during a conference call Wednesday morning.
"With its aggressive approach to excellence in every respect, the University of Louisville will enhance our league's culture and commitment to the cornerstones we were founded on 60 years ago," commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "The University of Louisville is an outstanding addition to the Atlantic Coast Conference and I commend the Council of Presidents for continuing to position our league for the long-term future. If you look at what has been done over the last 15 months, the ACC has only gotten stronger with the additions of Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse."
Cardinals athletic director Tom Jurich, among the nation's best, also issued a statement.
"When it became apparent to us that we needed to make a move, the ACC is the perfect fit for us and we are so elated to be joining this prestigious conference," he said. "Under John Swofford's leadership, the ACC continues to prosper. We sincerely appreciate this opportunity. This will open so many more doors for us both athletically for all of our sports programs, and academically for our university.
"What I really like about this move is it's terrific for our fans, with the proximity of the institutions and we never have to leave the Eastern time zone. This is a credit to everyone at the University of Louisville and our community, as we have all pulled together to position ourselves for this opportunity. It's amazing what has happened here over the last 15 years. We appreciate so much what the Big East Conference has meant to us."
Charter member Maryland blindsided its ACC brethren last week by announcing its impending move to the Big Ten and its purported television riches. The Terps will be the first to exit the league since South Carolina in 1971.
Louisville does not match Maryland's Washington-Baltimore TV market but boasts a broad-based, well-financed athletics program.
Here's a description of the Cardinals from a post last week:
Louisville offers national-championship pedigree in basketball – Rick Pitino coached the Cardinals back to the Final Four last season -- and has finished no lower than 41st in the Directors' Cup all-sports standings each of the last five years. The Cardinals have rabid support and cutting-edge facilities.
Football? Bobby Petrino coached Louisville to top-10 seasons in 2004 and '06, and Charlie Strong has the Cardinals 9-1 and ranked 19th entering Saturday's game against UConn [Louisville lost in OT]. The only ACC teams that have finished among the Associated Press top 10 in the last decade were Virginia Tech's in 2004, '05, '07 and '09.
Louisville also would solidify the ACC's southern flank and bring the conference fiscal strength. The Cardinals reported $87.8 million in 2011-12 athletics revenue to the U.S. Department of Education, more than any ACC school – Florida State reported $81.4 million – and cleared $3.5 million in profit.
The issue with Louisville is academics. The ACC often boasts of its U.S. News rankings, and at No. 160, Louisville is far below No. 106 North Carolina State, the ACC's lowest-rated school.
The Cardinals' latest Graduation Success Rate for athletes is a solid 80 percent but lags behind all but three of the 12 current ACC members: Georgia Tech (76), N.C. State (77) and Florida State (78). The NCAA docked Louisville's football program three scholarships last year for sub-par Academic Progress Rates.
Louisville president James Ramsey has some ACC connections. He worked at North Carolina as the vice chancellor for finance and administration, and as an adjunct professor in UNC's master's of public administration program.
"We think we're on the right trajectory academically," Ramsey said Saturday night during an interview on Louisville's radio network prior to the Cardinals' game against Duke.
With Pittsburgh and Syracuse joining the ACC in 2013, the Cardinals keep the ACC at 14 football members, with Notre Dame a 15th in other sports.
Louisville becomes the seventh school to leave the Big East for the ACC since 2003-04, joining Virginia Tech, Miami, Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt and Notre Dame.
Still to be debated: whether to place Louisville in the Atlantic Division to replace Maryland or restructure the divisions.
Also on tap for the ACC is a possible cable channel in partnership with ESPN. Here's what Swofford told me about the subject last month:
"It may well make sense at some point," he said. "That's part of what I mean about how well-positioned this conference is for the future: when you look at the number of eyeballs that our now in our footprint once we're able to evolve as 15-member conference. We're ramping up our discussions (with ESPN) on that. …
"In essence we have our own network through our (Raycom syndication) partnership. … Sometimes the optics of saying you have a channel are better than the reality of what it really means. … You do it for the right reasons, to bring more and better exposure for your programs in a way that makes sense financially.
"Sometimes people neglect to look at the cost of doing something. The ACC/Raycom digital deal. It required absolutely no investment on the part of the ACC, and yet we're 50-50 partner in the revenues as they begin to generate. That's a pretty good business deal."

MACON, Ga. – A short-handed Lady Bisons squad hung tough with Atlantic Sun-leading Mercer, Friday, ultimately falling to the Bears 3-0 in the conference-opening match for both squads.
"They're a very good team," said Lipscomb head coach Jon Ireland. "This was one of our better games. The score is not an accurate indication of how well we played.
Lipscomb (2-7-1, 0-1-0 A-Sun)) managed just five shots, compared to 22 for Mercer (7-2-0, 1-0-0). The Bisons were without a couple of contributors in this match, limiting Lipscomb in its substitution patterns.
Mercer's Washida Blackman got on the board in the 28th minute, heading in a Casey Barrett cross for her season's second goal.
The Bears leading scorer, Olivia Tucker, banged home her season's sixth goal in the 44th minute, playing the ball off a rebound in the box. Two Lipscomb defenders slipped inside the box, allowing Tucker free range to the ball.
Sophomore Alex Wagner (17th minute) and senior Kirsten Heikkinen (37th minute) put Lipscomb's shots on goal in the first half.
Tucker got another goal just after the start of the second half, scoring in the 47th minute on a shot off a rebound. It was Tucker, the A-Sun's active leading scorer, 30th career goal.
"The goal at the end and the beginning of the half really hurt us," Ireland said. "We lost momentum going into the half and at the beginning of the second, to times when it's most important."
Lipscomb junior Katie Wood's 67th-minute header would be Lipscomb's lone shot on goal in the second half.
Lipscomb netminder Erin Zerio finished with eight saves, her third consecutive match with seven saves or better. She has 48 on the season. Mercer's Cagney Valloch made three saves in the victory.
The Lady Bisons will be back in the Georgia heat Sunday, at Kennesaw State. Kick-off is scheduled for 12 noon.
"We showed up and played hard today," Ireland said. "When you open with teams like (Mercer and Kennesaw State), you have to bring your A-game. Take away a couple of plays and we're in this game. If we play this way Sunday, we'll be in the game against Kennesaw State."

Brilliant Reporting: NYT Recreates Wacky Deposition Over Definition Of A Photocopier
from the deposition-fun dept
In this short film, I sought to creatively reinterpret the original events. (I've not been able to locate any original video recordings, so I'm unsure how closely my actors' appearance and delivery resembles the original participants.) My primary rule was the performance had to be verbatim -- no words could be modified or changed from the original legal transcripts. Nor did I internally edit the document to compress time. What you see is, word for word, an excerpt from what the record shows to have actually unfolded. However, I did give the actors creative range to craft their performances. As such, this is a hybrid of documentary and fiction. We've taken creative liberties in the staging and performance to imbue the material with our own perspectives.This is actually a pretty cool way to make use of new digital tools to bring certain news stories to life. While this may just be amusing right now, it'll be interesting to see how else it's used going forward.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
Human history has not touched these trees as they stand on their hill by the road. In their slow, simple lives, their sap ebbs and flows; the sun, rain, and soil feed them. Their leaves mature and and fall. Winter comes and spring follows. In some years they flourish, and in others they simply endure.
They have grown side by side long enough that they've become dependent upon their combined structure. While they are three, they are strong against the wind and weather, but if one falls, the others will be more vulnerable.
This phenomenon is seen when forested areas are cleared to build houses. When a few "lawn specimens" are left standing, those suddenly isolated trees are prone to weather damage. Their roots were torn and trampled when their mates were ripped away, and the branches and trunks that were strong in the group are not robust enough to stand alone.
"God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools." ~John Muir

Firefox GrowthOctober 18, 2005
Why has Firefox growth slowed? I received a similar question in my inbox the other day, followed by this tidbit:
Despite all the publicity online and even big-media coverage, I'm still amazed at how many people I meet who have not the faintest idea Firefox exists. Even 20somethings at my office — a dot-com, fer cryin' out loud. They just don't know it's out there.
It's a good question, but you don't have to look far to find the answer. Here's an analogy: I have no idea what the latest and greatest is when it comes to server hardware; I'm in the industry, so maybe I should, but I just don't care that much because it doesn't generally affect me.
Last year I predicted that Firefox would have a 25% share of the market. Obviously I was off a touch, as I'd guess the actual numbers are only a bit more than half that at the moment. Still up from where they were when I made the prediction, but I was a bit optimistic. Spreadfirefox.com reports almost a hundred million downloads now, but big picture trends seem to indicate that Firefox has achieved maybe 15% of the market share amongst actual users, give or take 5%.
I figured the ongoing Windows security issues would continue to drive Firefox growth. But Microsoft has continued pushing out security updates, and let's be honest, PCs are cheap enough to be disposable to a lot of consumers who can't be bothered to fix them; a new PC with Windows XPSP2 will only run you a few hundred dollars. Beats paying $70 an hour for someone to remove spyware from your old one.
Still, double the market share in a year isn't bad. 25% may yet be achievable, and if so, it makes Firefox a large enough force that your average non-standards aware web developer can no longer justify coding for IE-only. And that's a start.
Okay, and since we're talking web site statistics, I guess I need to clarify: yep, Site X probably does have a higher percentage of Firefox users. Stats vary from site to site; this one sees almost five times the number of Firefox users as it does Internet Explorer users for example. But your audience likely doesn't represent the global market share, and that's what we're talking about here.
On the other hand, if you want to tell me the distribution of browsers coming into your site off search engine queries, that's a far more interesting number.
In addition to the MS fixes, Firefox had a series of vulnerabilities lately, which damage its image.
Even with Firefox's vulnerabilities, I have never personally experienced a problem with Firefox. And I use it at least 10 hours a day. I have seen IE borked in less than 20 minutes of browsing.
But even so, the IE stronghold is largely due to corporate policy. My employer technically doesn't allow the use of anything but IE on the desktop. And I suspect that most large companies have similar policies. And those policies don't change quickly.
Re: vulnerabilities. Firefox's only image problem is that people don't know it's there. Nobody switches back to IE because they think Firefox is more insecure.
Firefox has got to rely on word-of-mouth to spread and while web standards (and other) evangelists see lots of value in this browser and love to shout it from the rooftops; your average Joe doesn't. Even if Joe agrees with you that Firefox is better than IE, he's not going to tell his friends unless he feels the browser is *twice as good* as IE.
Can you honestly say that your family members are having twice as much fun on the internet now that you switched their browser for them?
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I think the initial "cool new toy" period has sort of died down. I can't remember the last time I heard someone say "You should try Firefox instead."
It's my opinion that everyone is just complacent with what they've got, and for something that spreads by word of mouth that's obviously not good enough.
I will say that I go to a local community college, and a year ago or so, they didn't have Firefox, but today, Firefox is installed by default on every PC on the campus. Now, most people still use IE, but this is a move in the right direction at least.
Here are my latest browser numbers from www.quotationspage.com - it's a very mainstream site that gets mostly search traffic, so it comes closer to representing global market share than most blogs.
Firefox 16.53%
Safari 3.44%
Firefox is up from 15% a couple of months ago, but I agree its growth has slowed. Still, 16% is one out of six users - so coding for IE only is out of the question these days, and I thank Firefox for that.
At www.fisher-price.com, we're at about 8% Firefox and about 2% Safari. And we launched our first mostly standards-compliant .NET site at www.fisher-price.com/us/krypto/ last Friday.
Mac IE5 just left our supported browser list today, which is good news for my CSS efforts.
So, we're not seeing anywhere near the 15% Firefox reported by some, but it's enough to be noticed now. And Fisher-Price asked us to start supporting Safari a couple weeks ago, which is also good news.
On the sites I've built I've noticed a similar cross-section of browsers except for one site, an arts-based information site that lists events and ticketing information has an above average number of Apple users (over 35%) and I have no doubt that it is due to the demographics that make up the average arts patron.
It's very hard to guage what overall percentage of browser use Firefox occupies.
Unfortunately, I think a big chunk of the market out there either does not care or is not willing to switch to an alternate browser. IE7, as crappy as it's looking, will be the only thing that cuts down on IE6's market share - Windows Update will make sure of that.
There was only so much of the market that Firefox could ever take from IE. People just don't care enough to make the switch. Unless users run into security problems they don't bother to switch, and developer issues like proper CSS support can't get end users to switch.
We standards-supporters ran with the "IE isn't secure" banner with ulterior motives - we want people to upgrade to browsers that support CSS3, proper XHTML Strict, etc. But now that Microsoft is beginning to plug the security holes in IE - their users are back to being content with a poor browser.
What Firefox needs is some kind of Killer App extension, or a great new feature that really trounces IE, and tabbed browsing ain't it.
Maybe Flock - http://www.flock.com can be something of a war-cry, and make IE users "flock" to FireFox.
Tough as it may sound, many people use IE because it's there and it's what they're used to. In their mind, it works fine, and they simply do not care enough to switch to anything else.
Most people still use IE because they just don't gain anything from firefox. It's more secure? It's faster? It's more standards compliant? It's got tabs?
None of that really matters to joe sixpack.
Firefox is delivering a steady 10% of traffic on most of my sites, all of which are geared towards very non-technical people. I see that as a pretty good sign. Couple it with the numbers from Safari and Opera, and good browsers are racking up a whopping 15-20% of the market share.
IE didn't beat netscape by being a better browser. It beat it by offering largely the same experience – for free. They bundled it with windows, and, viola, nobody had any reason to use netscape.
IE will remain the #1 browser on the market as long as windows has a 90% + stake in the world.
The linux desktop isn't ready for the casual user yet. I think apple is ripe to do it, personally, but they don't have much to offer in between the ultra-low end mini ($500) and the ultra high end towers ($3000+) that'll interest the casual user.
As much as I know that they'll never actually do it, I wish they'd just release OSX on commodity hardware. What better than a unix-based OS running one of the best desktop environments around and available on, I dunno, AMD processors?

I think you underestimate the importance of the point you make following this one. Even if Firefox does not have 25% global share, it already has a 70% share at *particular* *sites*. Prior to launch, you cannot know if your site will have 5% Firefox users or 10% or 40%. And if you already collect stats, they're only meaningful if the site is browser-neutral; it the site is already IE-focussed, then having a negligible amount of Firefox traffic is hardly a surprise. Gearing the site towards IE may still be a mistake in the long hault even if it's in reaction to reliable stats. Bottom line:
You cannot afford to ignore Firefox. Even today.
Aristotle makes a good point. "Global market share" isn't such an important metric any more. What's certain is that there are at least 50 million users of Firefox, and 10-20 million Safari users. These people happen to be - on the whole - more discriminating and more computer-savvy than the average Windows/IE user. They are likely to spend more money on software and online services.
So no matter what kind of website you're developing, aren't those 70 million people a demographic you'd really like to attract? I would think so.
I did read that the Netscape browser, which has both rendering engines, had been being pegged as either Firefox or IE at sites previously. And it has been said that this inflated the figures for FF over the past few months, so that the take-up has been more "even" than it seems to have been - not so fast in the recent past but not so slow now.
However, I suspect Dave's original suggestion is right: tech-savvy Windows users picked up on Firefox pretty quickly, but that's a limited pool of people to draw on, and the pool may be running a bit dry now.
Incidentally, the Netscape browser will ship on all HP's machines next year:
However, I wish Netscape didn't have the Trident engine built-in to it, because it's shipping widely preinstalled is, therefore, less of blow against lock-in than it would otherwise be.
But I don't think the outlook is too bleak. I'd not be surprised to hear that even currently non-IE browsers added together made up 15% or more of the traffic to many mainstream personal-user-orientated sites, as Michael suggests.
I see that at Boing-Boing, visitors using Firefox (38.3%) and Safari (11.4%) add up to nearly *half* the traffic now:
Working at a daily newspaper in the UK, I'm still baffled by the problems users bring up when just navigating the site, let alone the OS or browser they are using.
I would say the general understanding of the average PC/Internet users varies wildly from those FF-savvy users to people who - meaning no disrespect - struggle with basic PC functions/Web browsing and wouldn't know where to start looking for an alternate browser.
So FF's growth in general still seems a significant event in Web history, and it's impact is being felt far and wide across the Web development landscape.
I think Paul D makes a very interesting point:
>These people happen to be - on the whole - more
>discriminating and more computer-savvy than the
>average Windows/IE user. They are likely to spend
>more money on software and online services.
Now, if there were statistics which proved that relatively speaking, Firefox users spent more money online, companies would surely want to avoid IE only sites.
I think Firefox needs some major new features - they could make add-ons like Sessions Saver, Tab Toggling, Tabbrowser Preferences, IE View and a lot of other cool ones a normal feature of Firefox. Opera already comes with all of those as standard, so that's maybe why Firefox needs to do some more.
I don't know if features will help much. Opera is free now, and has those things you mentioned, and doesn't hog as much resources as Firefox; but I don't see Opera becoming popular all of a suddent (unfortunately).
I guess Opera growth is actually slightly related to this topic. Although Opera isn't ad supported anymore, I don't think the number of Opera users will increse dramatically. It doesn't have the momentum Firefox had.
And I really don't see Firefox picking up much growth either, a small bit here and there, but nothing like the boost it had when v 1.0 was realeased.
Stats from The Counter show FF users are at 8%. I think of The Counter as neutral source of stats, because they gather statistics from tons of websites using their free counter.
I think FF stoped growing, because the hype is over. After all FF isn't that much better than IE for the average joe. AJ doesn't need all the bells and whistles such as greesemonkey and extensions. All they really want is to check their hotmail and read yahoo news.
Does Firefox come installed by default on Dell or HP boxes? Till this happens, I think their userbase won't grow much higher than the 15% being discussed above. The fact is that for most people, Internet Explorer is probably good enough. I have tech savvy friends who don't seem to mind it – which I can't for the life of me understand. If you install Firefox for someone, I would agree, no one is going to switch back to IE. Even if they never use tabs or any extentions or anything that makes Firefox special, Firefox basically works the same as IE, so why bother going back. The question is, how many people are willing to go out of their way to trade up?
I noticed the best way to "convert" a IE user is to show the tab feature…
But the problem is window users(97% from thecounter.com!) don't have an other preinstalled browser that we could use to show them. And now there's a tabbed version of IE called Maxthon, is said to use the same engine.
But its only OPERA thats able to pass the web acid test http://www.webstandards.org/act/acid2/
ycc2106: Actually, Maxthon has been around for several years. It used to be called MyIE2, and they changed the name sometime last year.
I agree with ramanan and others that, as far as global marketshare is concerned, the biggest obstacle for Firefox is going to be pre-installation. Just look at the rise of Safari on the Mac platform. Admittedly, it was replacing an outdated browser that the vendor had essentially abandoned (Mac IE), but I'm sure a big part of its success has been the fact that it's preinstalled as the default browser.
With all this talk about marketshare, it's good to remember that global marketshare isn't what matters: the marketshare among your current and potential audience that matters. If your site appeals to Mac users, you'd better make it work in Safari. If your site attracts the techie audience, you'd better make it work in Firefox. And like Aristotle points out, you don't necessarily know what the breakdown is going to be on *your* site until you launch.
I've got one site that pulls 17% Firefox, 3% Safari, and another 5% Gecko, Opera, etc. I've got another one that pulls 42% Firefox, 12% Opera and only 27% IE. The difference? One is long-established and attracts a mainstream audience. The other is new and attracts people interested in alternative browsers. But even the mainstream one is pulling a more diverse audience than the global stats would suggest.
shishira: No, Opera does not pass Acid2 yet, though development versions are getting close. Internal builds of Safari were first, followed by a public beta of iCab, followed closely by development builds of Konqueror.
Opera Acid2 progress (latest update today):
Safari announcement (April 27):
Konqueror and iCab announcement (June 7):
Opera has definitely taken some market shares. I'm loving it.
I have managed to switch a few of my non-techie friends over to FF, but only because they had major catastrophes i.e. browser hijackings, viruses, crippling spy-ware etc. I had been preaching to them the joys of FF for years but only after such major events were they able to see the benefits of FF (the fact that I cleaned up their PC's and installed FF as the default browser may have added to that ;) ). Now, they are believers like you and I; I haven't had to clean their hard drives since, not once!
The fact of the matter is, although a lot of people have downloaded FF, few use it as their default browser. Average people will continue to tolerate IE, like they have been tolerating Windows until a) something goes horribly wrong or b) have FF pre-installed on their computers.
I can't express how much I love FF, but I don't care if it is not more widely accepted. 15% is a fine number, enough to have Webmasters, IT guys and air-headed Web designers sit up and take notice. Average People will have to learn the hard way and then they will be forced to think. I think its better just to let those people know there is an alternative when the time comes and not waste anymore time politics & philosophy.
I think that a key issue is that although the initial enthusiasts have converted people, those converts haven't become converters in turn. The concept of a cool, featureful and safe browser isn't an easy enough equity for non-techies to sell.
Hell, the other day on the train there was some 40ish businessman telling the colleagues travelling with him that he had a great FIREWALL called Firefox. People just don't get what it is, or why they should use it.
I agree with ramanan. The slow down should be excepted. It matches a typical slowdown in interest for any new software release as time passes. For Firefox to continue to grow above the 15% being discussed, the browser needs to come pre-installed on boxes from major manufactures. Most people do not know what Mozilla Firefox is. They are not interested in taking the time to figure out how to download another browser, when they already have one that they believe meets their needs.
Visitors to my site seem pretty constant at 10% Firefox, 8% Safari and 82% IE.
Now that Opera is free it's obviously a strong competitor for Firefox amongst those that can be bothered - I use Firefox and its plugins when I'm working and Opera for casual browsing. I'm convinced it's faster than Firefox - probably only marginally, but many seem to agree with me. Anyone seen any figures to prove this?
I think that a great amount of FF users are webdesigners, coders, and people who actually is related with tecnologies. I live in South America, and I can tell you that win98 still widely used with IE 5.5. On the other hand, most of the people that I know, they don't know about FF or Opera. Actually, one of the big problems in here is that nobady pays for software. And a bigger problem is that they don't even know what is free software.
Supporting Meri's comment on the FIREWALL.
I think we are forgetting about a large group of users who don't even know what a browser is…yup, the AOL (and similar) group. My mother uses it - she's 50ish, does all her banking online, chats with me over skype, books all her flights online etc. So she knows how to get around internet. And yet, to her AOL and Internet are one and the same.
There is no way I could get her install FF, because she would object saying "No thanks, I already have AOL, I don't need any more internet". … sigh.
I remember reading somewhere that Firefox peaked at 8.71% but is now down to only a high 7% (7.7-.8 I can't remember). I don't think its a popular as anyone thinks.
I also think that the pure synthetic statistics about the market share of FF are nothing more than a pee competition in the kindergarten. First of all most of these stats do not specify the base or the sample upon which they are based. Second, new browsers can mislead statistics. With Netscape you can look at the pages with the IE engine - does it recorded as IE too? At Opera the user can choose how the browser identify itself: Mozilla, IE or Opera - and the default is not Opera.
I started to use FF round a year ago, but since the issue of Netscape 8 this is my main browser. The reason is very simple: allowing to use the IE engine it can drive me through the trenches even the most IE-oriented sites, where FF fails.
FF and Opera are roughly at the same speed, while Netscape is slower, but Netscape's functionality is much better.
IMHO the most important thing is that there are a significant percentage of alternative browsers on the market and as far as I know they are all standard supporters. The cumulative market share must be around 30-40% and that is the important fact what should be emphasized. No developer or designer can afford to make a site what can not be properly presented to every third user.
Bruce: you mean something like the Browse Happy info bar?
Firefox, IE, Opera…really, as a web developer I don't care what folks use.
My main concern is that my W3C/CSS standards-compliant pages render the way they're supposed to.
If you're the same, does a day go by that you don't curse Microsoft for their arrogance that has you constantly dumbing down your code to fit that monster IE? The pending release of IE7 with the same afflictions proves that Uncle Billy still doesn't get it…
Instead of promoting FF (which I preach to all my clients), we'd be better off hammering IE until they get our message.
How? Embarrass the buggers into compliance. If all of us stuck a standarized icon somewhere on our pages–DIE–with an alt or title description (Dumbed-down for IE), maybe Bill would finally get it.
I switched to Opera because of my old 500mhz laptop. The difference was huge.
Firefox is awesome. When I used IE I was constantly importing spyware and such. Since I began using Firefox it has ceased to be an issue.
Highly recommend it!

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) It doesn't matter to John Jaso whether he's Oakland's leadoff batter, as long as he's playing. For the Athletics, he's extremely important at the top of the order, especially with Coco Crisp hurting.
Jaso drove in three runs Sunday night, helping Scott Kazmir and Oakland beat the Texas Rangers 9-3. The A's catcher had a run-scoring single during a five-run second inning and added a two-run double in the fifth.
''I like (leadoff) because I'm in the lineup,'' Jaso said. ''I don't care where.''
Manager Bob Melvin said Crisp, who has led off in 69 of the Athletics' 105 games, was going back to Oakland to be examined by the doctors who have been treating a recurring neck injury.
''When Coco's out, we certainly need a guy against right-handers,'' Melvin said. ''(Jaso) takes a lot of pitches, and he can be aggressive.''
Jaso was leading off for the 15th time this season and has had at least one hit each game while batting .380 (19 for 50) in that role. He entered the game with an overall .360 on-base percentage.
The Athletics' first three batters - Jaso, Stephen Vogt and Yoenis Cespedes - each had a double and a single, and Josh Reddick added three singles.
Kazmir (12-3) moved into a tie for the American League lead in wins while allowing seven hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out two.
''It was maybe not his best command at times,'' Melvin said. ''But seeing him be so good this season, that five-inning outing doesn't look so good.''
Kazmir would not use the 100-degree temperature at game time as an excuse.
''It's tough to have nice weather in Oakland and come here to pitch. It kind of drains you in the beginning. I felt great. I was just inconsistent.''
Kazmir got out of the third and fifth innings by striking out Texas' J.P. Arencibia for the final out each time with a total of five runners on base.
''It was pretty much the same sequence,'' Kazmir said. ''Off-speed the first two pitches, and tried to finish him off hard. That was big those two innings.''
Rangers manager Ron Washington said: ''That's J.P. I don't think he can change. We gotta live with it.''
The victory enabled Oakland to remain two games ahead of the second-place Los Angeles Angels in the AL West. The Athletics are 7-5 against the Rangers this season.
Adam Rosales had a two-run homer in the second for the Rangers, and Adrian Beltre added a solo shot off reliever Evan Scribner in the eighth. Beltre was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk.
Miles Mikolas (1-3) allowed seven earned runs on seven hits and four walks in 4 2-3 innings.
He was coming off his first win as a major league starter, over the Yankees July 21.
''I executed well and made the transition well in the New York game, and kind of fell back into (bad habits),'' Mikolas said. ''It's hard to break those bad habits, so we'll do more work on it.''
Jaso also has an 11-game hitting streak against the Rangers.
''I don't know what it is. I've hit some home runs here. The warm weather is nice, and they have a lot of righties.''
Jaso's single was against Mikolas. Washington brought in left-hander Ryan Feierabend in to face Jaso in the fifth, and he ripped his two-run double with two out.
NOTES: Oakland activated INF Alberto Callaspo (strained right hamstring) from the disabled list and optioned 1B Nate Freiman to Triple-A Sacramento. . Rangers LHP Derek Holland is scheduled to pitch two innings in his first game this season Wednesday on an injury-rehab assignment for Double-A Frisco. Holland, on the 60-day disabled list following offseason surgery on his left knee, threw in the bullpen and took fielding practice before Sunday's game. ... Texas rookie RHP Roman Mendez pitched a perfect eighth inning. He has not allowed a run in 11 innings during his first eight major league games. ... RHP Nick Tepesch, who left Saturday's start in the seventh inning because of a sore left knee, said he plans to make his next scheduled start Friday in Cleveland.

Blues need win in season finale vs. Red Wingsby Brian Hedger
RED WINGS (38-28-15) at BLUES (52-22-7)
Last 10: Detroit 5-4-1; St. Louis 4-6-0
Season series: This is the final matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues, who are in different conferences after being longtime rivals in the Central Division. The Blues won 4-1 at Joe Louis Arena on Jan. 20.
Big story: St. Louis is banged up and in a tailspin heading into the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Blues have lost five straight games and need at least a point to have a chance to pass the Colorado Avalanche for first place in the Central Division. Each team has 111 points, but the Avalanche own the tiebreaker going into Sunday. The Avalanche finish their season on the road Sunday evening against the Anaheim Ducks.
Detroit was assured of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference when the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Saturday
Team Scope:
Red Wings: Detroit's main goal is heading into its 23rd straight playoff appearance on a high note. It won't be easy because the Blues have ample motivation.
"It's always a tough matchup for us every time we play them, regardless of who's in and who's not for each team," Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said, according to MLive.com. "It's always a very tight game, pretty physical and of course they want to be feeling good going into the playoffs as well."
Forward Daniel Alfredsson (sore back) will not play Sunday, but he'll be ready for Detroit's first-round series against the Boston Bruins. Joakim Andersson will play in Alfredsson's spot at right wing on the third line. Center David Legwand didn't practice Saturday but is expected to play Sunday.
Blues: St. Louis is trying to keep a positive outlook, but things couldn't be much worse heading into the postseason. In addition to the five-game skid, they're besieged with injured forwards.
Patrik Berglund became the seventh regular forward to leave the lineup Friday after an apparent shoulder injury knocked him out of a 3-0 loss at the Dallas Stars. Forward Sergey Andronov was recalled Saturday from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League as a reinforcement.
"Anybody that can play is playing; anybody that can't isn't," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said of the season finale, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We're playing that game to win and that's going to be our attitude."
Their playoff scenario breaks down simply. If the Blues win the Central, they will face the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference First Round. A second-place finish sets up a first-round series against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks.
Who's hot: Red Wings rookie center Riley Sheahan has scored goals in back-to-back games, and rookie forward Tomas Jurco has three goals and one assist in his past six contests. ... Blues forward Jaden Schwartz has scored two goals in the past four games.
Injury report: St. Louis is missing Berglund (upper body) and forwards David Backes (foot), T.J. Oshie (upper body), Vladimir Sobotka (lower body), Vladimir Tarasenko (hand), Derek Roy (upper body) and Brenden Morrow (foot). ... The Red Wings have three players on injured reserve: captain Henrik Zetterberg (back surgery), defenseman Jonathan Ericsson (fractured finger/surgery) and forward Stephen Weiss (sports hernia surgery). Forward Daniel Cleary (knee sprain) is out indefinitely.

- Determination of Employer
A. Temporary Help Company
- Definition
A "Temporary Help Company" is defined as a leasing company or temporary help service which contracts with clients or customers to supply individuals to perform services for the client or customer and which both under contract and in fact:
- Negotiates with clients or customers for such matters as time, place, type of work, working conditions, quality and price of the services;
- Determines assignments or reassignments of individuals to its clients or customers, even if the individuals retain the right to refuse specific assignments;
- Sets the rate of pay of the individuals, whether or not through negotiation;
- Pays the individuals from its account or accounts; and
- Hires and terminates individuals who perform services for the clients or customers.
- Determining Employer Liability
- A Temporary Help Company is the employer of the individual who the company engages in employment to perform service for a client or customer of the company.
- Officers of a client corporation can not be employees of the Temporary Help Company. They must be reported separately under the client's own UI accounts.
B. Professional Employer Organization
- Definition
"Professional employer organization" means any person who is currently registered as a professional employer organization with the Department of Financial Institutions in accordance with chapter 202, who contracts to provide the nontemporary, ongoing employee workforce of more than one client under a written leasing contract, the majority of whose clients are not under the same ownership, management, or control as the person other than through the terms of the contract, and who under contract and in fact:
- Has the right to hire and terminate the employees who perform services for the client and to reassign the employees to other clients;
- Sets the rate of pay of the employees, whether or not through negotiations and whether or not the responsibility to set the rate of pay is shared with the client;
- Has the obligation to and pays the employees from its own accounts;

- Provides notice of the employee leasing arrangement to the
- Additional Reporting Requirements
- Employers meeting all of these requirements entering into an employee leasing agreement with a client must submit to the department a report disclosing the identity of the client no later than the due date for the contribution report for that quarter.
- An employer meeting all of these requirements terminating an employee leasing agreement with a client must notify the department within 10 days of the termination.
C. Common Paymaster
- Definitions
Common Paymaster
A common paymaster of a group of related corporations is any member thereof that pays concurrent employees of itself and one or more of the related corporations and is responsible for keeping the payroll records with respect to those concurrently employed individuals.
Concurrent Employment
Concurrent employment means the existence of an employment relationship between an individual and two or more corporations at the same time.
Related Corporations
Corporations are related for the entire calendar quarter if, at any time in that quarter, they satisfy any of the following four tests:
- The corporations are members of a controlled group of corporations.
- If the corporations do not issue stock, either 50% or more of one corporation's governing body are members of the other corporation's governing body, or holders of 50% or more of the voting power to select such members are concurrently the holders of more than 50% of that power in respect to the other corporation.
- Fifty percent or more of one corporation's officers are concurrently officers of the other corporation.
- Thirty percent or more of one corporation's employees are concurrently employees of the other corporation.
Payrolling is the practice of one entity reporting the wages and paying the UI tax on employees, who are directed and controlled by another entity. This practice is not allowed under the Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Law.
- Qualifying Requirements
Employers paying any wages through a common paymaster should report those wages through the common paymaster.
To qualify as a common paymaster the following requirements must be met:
- The corporations must be related, and
- There must be concurrent employment of one or more employees by the paymaster and one or more of the related corporations; and the paymaster corporation is responsible for keeping the payroll records with respect to concurrently employed individuals.
Any of the concurrently employing related corporations could be designated as the common paymaster. The common paymaster reports the wages of the employees that work concurrently with it and one or more of the other related corporations.
If any of the above conditions are not met, then each employing unit (separate corporation) must report their own employment under their own UI account.
D. Multi-State Employment
When your employee performs services in Wisconsin and some other state, the employee will be covered and reportable to Wisconsin if one of four tests specified in Section 108.02(15) of the statutes applies.
The four tests used by Wisconsin are:
- Localization
Your employee's services are in covered employment and "localized" in Wisconsin if all of the services are performed in this state with only isolated, incidental or temporary services performed outside of Wisconsin.
- Base of Operations
If the first test does not apply, your employee's total services are covered employment in Wisconsin if some of their services are performed in this state and their "base of operations" is in Wisconsin. (Base of operations is interpreted as the place of more or less permanent nature from which your employee starts work, to which your employee customarily returns and to which you may direct instructions to your employee. It may be a branch office or the employee's residence.) Not everyone has a base of operations.
- Place of Direction and Control
If the first two tests do not apply, your employee's total services are covered employment in Wisconsin if some of their services are performed in Wisconsin and the place from which you exercise general direction and control over the employee is in Wisconsin.
- Residence of Employee
If the first three tests do not apply, your employee's total services are covered employment in Wisconsin if some of their services are performed in this state and their residence is in Wisconsin.
If, after applying all these tests you find a particular individual's services not covered in Wisconsin, you may elect to cover them in Wisconsin by filing a reciprocal agreement between Wisconsin and the other state involved. Certain states will not approve such an election if the individual has residence in that state and provides some services in that state.
Similar tests appear in the unemployment insurance laws of a majority of the states in an effort to avoid conflicts and overlapping coverage between states. However, differences in interpretation do exist among a few states.
Certain employment of United States citizens working for American employers in foreign lands (except Canada) may also be reportable for unemployment purposes to this state. Also, aliens working in Wisconsin are reportable for Unemployment Insurance purposes.
See Circuit Court Case decisions for Gary R Gilbert v. LIRC and Broyhill Furniture v. LIRC.
E. LLC Electing to be Treated as a Corporation
If your business legal entity is an LLC and you have elected to file as a corporation with the IRS, you must inform this department of that and provide written documentation showing that election.
Remember, by making this election, you must report and pay unemployment tax on all wages, including the LLC members. This is critical to avoid any certification problems between your State and Federal unemployment taxes.

F. Determination of Employer
If there is more than one employer that has a relationship to an employee, the following should be considered in determining which of the employers is the employer:
(a) An employers right by contract and in fact to:
- Determine a prospective employee's qualifications to perform the services in question and to hire or discharge the employee.
- Determine the details of the employee's pay including the amount of, method of, and frequency of changes in pay.
- Train the employee and exercise direction and control over the performance of services by the employee and when and how they are to be performed.
- Impose discipline upon the employee for rule or policy infractions or unsatisfactory performance.
- Remove the employee from one job or assign the employee to a different job.
- Require oral or written reports from the employee.
- Evaluate the quantity and quality of the services provided by the employee.
- Assign a substitute employee to perform the services of an employee if the employee is unavailable for work or is terminated from work.
- Assign alternative work to the employee if the employee is removed from a particular job.
(b) Which employer:
- Benefits directly or indirectly from the services performed by the employee.
- Maintains a pool of workers who are available to perform the services in question.
- Is responsible for employee compliance with applicable regulatory laws and for enforcement of such compliance.
There is an exception for certain employers providing home health care and personal care services funded by medical assistance allowing them to elect to be the employer of employees providing the services. To qualify for an election, the employer must meet these requirements:
- The employer must notify the recipient of the services of its election in writing.
- The employer must be treated by the IRS as the employer for FUTA tax purposes.

Description: Mastersmith David Anders created this exceptional paring knife. The profile is taller than many paring knives, allowing it to be used both for slicing and chopping. The blade, bolster, and tang are all forged from a single piece of 5160 carbon steel round bar. Creating integral knives is particularly hard and shows a tremendous amount of skill. The blade was forged to shape and distal tapered for optimal balance. A differentially heat treatment results in a softer, supportive spine, with a super-hard, long lasting, razor sharp edge. The bead blasted finish makes food less likely to stick to the sides of the knife while cutting. The African blackwood handle swells gently into the palm for a sure grip that continues to feel comfortable after hours of work. Excellent fit and finish throughout.

Whether the trust relationship should be fundamentally transmogrified into a juristic entity/person
Whether the trust relationship should be fundamentally transmogrified into a juristic entity/person
Charles rounds asks a provocative question about the very nature of trusts.
By: Charles E. Rounds, Fiduciary Consultant
In re Estate of Fournier, 902 A.2d 852 (Me. 2006) illustrates how a fundamental conversion of the trust relationship by legislation or otherwise into a juristic entity/person might well limit the trust's practical applicability, particularly in the informal context. In 1998 or 1999, a one George Fournier asked X & Y if they would "hold some money for him." After his death, he wanted them to turn the money over to his sister. The court concluded that Fournier had created an oral trust. X & Y were the co-trustees. They were equitably bound to hold the money during Fournier's lifetime and turn it over to the sister in her individual capacity after his death, free of trust. If a trust were fundamentally a juristic entity/person, would or could the court, as a practical matter, have found a trust under these facts? If not, then what are the legal/equitable tools that the court would have had at its disposal to sort out the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties with respect to the money? It is suggested that to fundamentally convert a trust from a relationship into a juristic entity/peron would unnecessarily tear a substantial hole in the fabric of the Anglo-American legal tradition. Here is a link to the Fournier Case. The topic of deeming a trust a juristic entity/person for certain purposes is discussed in §8.15.77 of Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook. The section is reproduced below in its entirety, including enhancements that will be included in the forthcoming 2016 Edition.

Re: Whether the trust relationship should be fundamentally ...
California Probate Code section 56 considers a trust a "person" as do many other Codes in California law. In fact, it and other such California statues state : "person" means individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership,limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, association, or other ENTITY." (caps added). Some statutes say "or any other legal or commercial entity".
Then we have other stranger versions: "...or other entity, whether domestic or foreign. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to confer any rights under the California Constitution or the United States Constitution." (LLC law)
Then in LLC law, 17701.04, it states that a limited liability company is an entity distinct from its members. Interestingly, it does not say the same thing in the corporations code.
So, what is a person? Is it an entity if it's not a natural person? If it's a person, but not a natural person or an entity, then what is a "person"?
IRC section 7701(a)(1) also considers a trust a "person".
We are thus at least halfway there already, even if very confused or confusing.

Named after the famous Queen Victoria, Victorian era jewelry were inspired by the trends of the time and the queen's tastes in fashion and jewelry. Victorian era jewelry was extremely romantic, bold, and inspired by nature. Colored gemstones as well as diamonds such as black onyx, opal, sapphire, ruby, emerald, garnet and amethyst were very common, and the design of the ring settings were especially intricate and unique.
The Edwardian Era (1900-1915)
Edward, Queen Victoria's son, brought elegance and sophistication with him when he took the throne. During this era, platinum and white gold were being used for the first time in fine jewelry. Gemstones of choice reflected the colorful opulence of the times — sapphires, diamonds and pearls were most common in this era.
Art Nouveau (1895-1915)
This era was artistry at it's finest. The Art-Nouveau age is best remembered for its handcrafted and unique design basics. Moonstones, opals, pearl, enamel and agates were the most popular stones, though each ring could be customized and hand-crafted to anyone's liking.
Art Deco (1915-1935)
With the Roaring 20s in full swing, women were feeling more brave and confident than ever, which was reflected in jewelry design. For the first time, bold and geometric designs started to surface. Art Deco was a major ground-breaker for the jewelry industry with new and modernized technologies in production to support the new designs. Diamonds, onyx, coral, sapphires and emeralds were all extremely popular in this era.
Retro (1935-1950)
Can you say Hollywood Glam? The Hollywood look in the 50s brought a desire for wealth and high-class beauty. The Retro period can be defined by its use of polished yellow and rose gold. More often than not, large colored gemstones were set within smaller diamonds. The Retro period saw the rise in popularity of Aquamarine, citrine and amethyst.
Modern (1950-Present)
The time of new prosperity translated to diamonds, diamonds and more diamonds. Now, stones are mostly displayed in flashy and dramatic settings and no one is afraid to show their wealth on their finger. Today, we wear our diamonds loudly and proudly!

Item Description
Imagine a king and his knights returning to their home castle after a long and hard ride. This castle is not clean and pretty from a fantasy tale. It is a gritty, cold and grey castle in the dark, foggy and grey countryside.
The music is accentuated by the horns, the low medieval chorus and the use of church bells.

Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon, 40% (Abv)/80 Proof, $17-20
Light and fresh on the nose with Nutmeg, Rye, and Mint. Sweetness on the sniff takes the form of Marshmallow Fluff and Banana with Vanilla undertones. This bourbon remains light and lively in the mouth, with an airy dryness of Oak and Vanilla. The sweetness is minimal up front on the palette with some light maple syrup and caramel. Finishes dry with cinnamon and prickly spice notes coming through. Drink neat or in a cocktail. An excellent value for the dollar, and well made by the folks at Four Roses.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.2 (Excellent)

… and a new hobby is born.
My sister (who, as far as I know, does not read this blog … fingers crossed) mentioned a while ago that she'd really like one of those salty cross-stitch samplers … you know, the kind that are sometimes on regretsy.
(Which site, in a moment of kismet, just featured a sassy cross-stitch photo stitch pattern maker.)
(Probably NSFW, just sayin'.)
Anyhoo, I wasn't having any luck tracking a ready-made salty sampler down on etsy … then it hit me: I could probably handle some cross stitch. So … with my basic crafty knowledge, I decided to try to keep it simple and within my skill set. And ordered a kit from subversive cross stitch. Just one evening later, I am the proud stitcher of a very awesome birthday sampler. It was so much fun, so quick, so easy (and admittedly very beginner-friendly) … that I immediately ordered two more kits. I can't wait until August to send them off, and can only hope that la sœur is as enamored of the salty results as I am!
She's plenty salty, that's for sure.

Yes, the brewery in Dublin served it up to me at room temp. As did all the pubs in England and Ireland where I had it Over here, they refrigerate it. I'm not sure if it just doesn't travel well, or the refrigeration damages it, but all the Guinness I've had here tasted like sewer water in comparison, even when I let it go to room temp.
Slightly off-topic, had anyone here tried Japanese whiskey? I've started seeing it in my local liquor super-stores, and I'm wondering if I should try it---and if so, what kind, keeping in mind I don't want to spend like crazy just to sample one. My favs in that respect are in order, a good single malt scotch, Bushmills, and Jack, or possibly a good Kentucky bourbon. Canadian whiskey is like the Prius of whiskies. Bland, not potent, and not worth the effort---at least the stuff I've tried.

I consider it in the tier of tolerability with a Bud or a Coors or a Miller, but it is easily $5 cheaper for a 12 pack. I would consider it above the undrinkable tier, which consists of things like Natty Ice or Icehouse or Milwaukee's Best, and which is even cheaper. If I had to choose a beer from the PBR tier that I preferred on taste, it would be MGD probably, but like I said, the goal is usually cheapest tolerable.
by Keb » Sun May 05, 2013 11:46 amWhen did you guys go? I was there in 2008.
That shit was cold. Not ice cold but still cold. They even told us on the tour that it should be served cold. It even said on the bottle "serve extra cold".
by achilles » Sun May 05, 2013 2:38 pm
Did you get the stout? It was a while ago for me.
by nietoperz » Sun May 05, 2013 4:13 pmI've never had a room temperature Guinness in a British pub. Weird.
by Keb » Sun May 05, 2013 5:58 pm
Obviously the British pubs you frequented were not British enough.
by DoctorStupid » Mon May 06, 2013 1:08 pmVery nice! Shiner is a nice Texas brewery. Look around for some of their other stuff. The bock is actually my least favorite (although it's the most popular by far), so if you liked it you will probably like their other brews even more.
If even one person tries something new because of this thread, then I have done my job! *cue inspirational music*
by achilles » Mon May 06, 2013 1:19 pmLooking at a beer website, I see stout can be served anywhere from 45 degrees, (described as "cool", to 60 degrees, described as "warm").
I suspect different places serve at different temps. I wonder though why Guinness doesn't seem to travel well. It certainly never has tasted as good here as it does over there. I will note that at my local stores at least, (well, the grocery stores), it's stored in the fridge section with the lagers, which are supposed to be stored colder than stout.
But maybe it's just all the travel itself that messes it up.
by DoctorStupid » Mon May 06, 2013 1:37 pmWell one of the things that I have read is that there are slightly different recipes for Guinness depending on where you live. The US has their own version of the recipe, and there is a major Guinness brewery in Jamaica that services South America and they have a different one too. A few years ago we started getting Guinness Foreign Extra Stout in the US, and if I'm not mistaken, that's the "Jamaican" version. I think Guinness in Europe is different, and I've even been told that Guinness in Dublin, specifically, is different than even other parts of Ireland. That I suspect, if true, has to be more of a freshness thing than anything else. I can definitely attest that some styles of beer have a pretty noticeable change in flavor about a week after they are brewed, but it's typically unfiltered and unpasteurized beer where that's most true.
See if you can find the Foreign Extra Achilles...I'd love to see how it compares to Guinness in Ireland (which I've never had). It's very easy to find here in Florida.
by achilles » Mon May 06, 2013 3:09 pm
Very interesting. I'll definitely try to find that. I've been wanting to duplicate that Dublin experience since I had it. It was just a great stout.
by Keb » Mon May 06, 2013 4:51 pm
Guinness brewed in Dublin blends with all the pollution in the River LIffey and tastes better
It could be that the beer is brewed at a different brewery in a different country. Sometimes it's imported, sometimes it's brewed at home. For example, Carlsberg beer here is brewed at the Molson brewery, so it tastes different from the Carlsberg brewed in Denmark.
by achilles » Mon May 06, 2013 6:15 pm
Tasty pollution! But yeah, I guess that's it. I wonder why they brew it differently? I would have thought that building a single brand experience would be the goal...
by Keb » Mon May 06, 2013 9:07 pm
Differences in water quality, ingredients, etc.
Another example, I just remembered, when I was a kid, there was a big hype because this British Columbian beer Kokanee came to Ontario. Their big thing is that it's brewed with mountain water from BC and it's "glacier fresh" etc. My dad got some, tried it and said it tasted like watery crap. We checked the label and it said "Brewed in London, Ontario", where the water is far from "glacier fresh". A couple years ago my brother tried Kokanee in BC and said it was actually a really good (light) beer. So that makes sense.

Fireside Festival,
Canberra, ACT
Warm your heart and fill your stomach next to a roaring fire this winter. That's the seductive call of the Fireside Festival, held each August in Canberra and neighbouring villages such as Yass, Hall, Murrumbateman and Gundaroo. Their month-long program of food, wine and entertainment is guaranteed to lift your spirits alongside some chill-combating flames.
Foodies will love this cozy celebration of the region's famous produce and cool-climate wines. Start your day with roasted marshmallows and a cup of hot chocolate at a fireside brunch in Hall, just 25 minutes from Canberra. In the gourmet village of Gundaroo, you can sit down to wood-fired pizza in the old stables or a degustation dinner, where fire twirlers dance light across each course.
Afterwards, tour the Lake George vineyards or sip muscat in a candle-lit Murrumbateman cellar. Local winemakers will tell you about the region's diverse styles - from sangiovese to riesling, chardonnay, pinot noir and shiraz - and the different microclimates that produce them.

Knipscheer family
Knipscheer was a Dutch Mennonite family. Jan Knipscheer (1836-1927), married to Wilhelmina Johanna Meihuizen, was at first a teacher at Weesperkarspel; he then founded a private school at Amsterdam, serving at the same time as catechist of the Amsterdam Mennonite congregation. His son Jacob Frederik Knipscheer (22 May 1865-20 February 1954) studied at the University and the Mennonite Seminary of Amsterdam 1881-1887, and then served the congregations of Baard 1888-1890 and Knollendam 1890-1930. For many years he was secretary of the Zaansche Emeritaat en Invaliditeitsfonds. His brother Frederik Samuel Knipscheer, born at Amsterdam in 1871, who studied at the Mennonite Seminary 1890-1896, joined the Reformed Church in 1898 and was pastor at Akersloot 1898, Grosthuizen 1903, and Zaltbommel 1911. He died in 1955. He published several historical books and papers (see Bibliography). Leendert Desiderius Gerardus Knipscheer (17 July 1903-3 February 1989), son of J. F. Knipscheer, after having studied at the Amsterdam University and Mennonite Seminary, served at Oudebildtzijl 1925-1931, Dantumawoude 1931-1935, and beginning 1935 at Groningen. He became the editor of the Doopsgezind ]aarboekje in 1949, and published (together with H. Bremer) Wie zijn wij? (Groningen, 1947) and Verhalen uit de Doopsgezinde Geschiedenis (Amsterdam, n.d.-1953). His youngest son (28 July 1945) was also named Leendert Desiderius Gerardus; he served as a pastor 1971-2010 in Amsterdam, Veenwouden, Texel and Damwoude.

Chemically gasoline is Octane, C8H18, which is, as you can see, a fairly simple hydrocarbon. "Dung" implies all organic waste, not only what cows produce.Huseng wrote: You're dreaming if you think you can maintain let alone grow industrial civilization with cow dung.
Crude oil found in earth is also a biological waste product, it is not something radically different from dung. This means that we can make from "dung" chemical products very similar to the hydrocarbon octane. Their energy density will be on the same level with Octane.
Energy in the form of electricity is same amount of energy as energy produced from oil products. It is capable of doing exactly same work. This is basic physics.
If you insist, it is possible to transform electricity into a liquid or a gas, that contains energy.

DOTHAN, Ala. (Mar. 10, 2007) - The Lady Bucs have already secured a bid to postseason play with their win over Jacksonville on Friday night, but they want to make school history by defeating Belmont in the A-Sun Finals, which would mark their first conference tournament title ever and first-ever trip to the big dance. Tip is set for 2 p.m. EST inside the Dothan Civic Center, with CSS carrying the game live.
ETSU marked its third-ever 20 win season by knocking off the Dolphins Friday night, and a victory today over the Bruins will tie them with the 1994-95 and 1980-81 squads for the most wins in school history. Three Lady Bucs reached double figures on Friday, but more importantly eight players scored at least eight points in the semifinal victory. The freshmen trio of Latisha Belcher (Ridgeway, Va.), Devin Thompson (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) totaled all 26-bench points for ETSU last night. Belcher finished with 10, while Thompson and Wiles each added eight. A win over Belmont will mark seven consecutive wins for the Lady Bucs, marking their longest winning streak since 1982-83 when they won eight in a row.
Belmont swept the season series with a nine-point win in Johnson City (78-69) back on Jan. 6, and then won on its home court, 69-66, on Feb. 1. A-Sun Player of the Year winner Alysha Clark is averaging 25 points and 19 rebounds this season against the Lady Bucs. ETSU is looking for its first win over the Bruins since Dec. 1, 2005 when the Lady Bucs pulled out a 66-52 in Memorial Center.
The Lady Bucs are 0-3 lifetime in conference tournament final games, and they are making their first finals appearance since 1995. ETSU will find out on Monday where they will be heading in postseason play. Please visit http://etsustream.intellithought.net/ or click on the icon above for live video of today's championship game.
