Aviva Premiership
Wray backs Welsh Premiership claims

Saracens owner Nigel Wray has given his backing to the four Welsh regions joining the Aviva Premiership.
The four regions - the Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Newport-Gwent Dragons and the Scarlets are currently at loggerheads with the Welsh Rugby Union over the funding of players. George North's likely transfer to Northampton has proven to be the catalyst that has re-opened the divide between regions and board. The loss-making regions have been operating under a strict salary cap, but as a result the likes of Mike Phillips, Jamie Roberts, Dan Lydiate and Gethin Jenkins have signed big-money deals with French clubs.
Premiership officials have already met with their Welsh counterparts to discuss the possibility of an Anglo-Welsh Premiership, though both sides admitted that any changes would take time and require the agreement of the International Rugby Board and the other RaboDirect PRO12 clubs.
In the amateur era the Anglo-Welsh matches were a huge draw for clubs on both sides of the River Severn and Wray feels that there should be a way of incorporating such fixtures to help the Welsh sides increase revenue and become more competitive.
"I don't think you should rule anything out, I certainly wouldn't dismiss it," Wray told The Rugby Paper. "The traditional Anglo-Welsh fixtures were great and they can be great again. The concept is definitely worth considering. Further discussions on the subject will make sense. Anything which can create a more attractive Premiership, increases its commercial value and bring about a greater European competition has to be welcomed."
In this year's LV=Anglo Welsh Cup none of the regions made it to the last four. It was a similar story in the Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cups, where none of the four sides progressed from the pool stages.
With the English and French clubs having served notice of their participation in the Heineken Cup at the end of the year, Wray believes a deal with the regions could strengthen the Anglo-French position when negotiations start again.
"Clearly there have to be changes," Wray added. "Whether we will meet somewhere in the middle, who knows? Everyone wants the European competition to continue, but not on the current terms.
"We want more of the cake because we generate most of the cake, not because we are magnificent rugby players but because we (England and France) have massive populations, which is what television demands. As I understand it everyone will gain financially."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2008) - The WBCA tipped off its 2008 "Think Pink" week on February 8, and ETSU will be unified with over 900-plus teams during the week long marketing campaign to help join the fight against breast cancer. The Lady Bucs will help create awareness and raise money for the deadly disease this Saturday afternoon when they host Lipscomb at 1:30 p.m. inside
The "Think Pink" initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA's nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The week set aside for this year's initiative is February 8 - 17, however many teams are participating outside of that window due to scheduling conflicts.
"The WBCA is very excited to promote an initiative that touches all levels of our membership and unifies them for such a great cause," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "It has been remarkable to watch the support of this initiative grow from 120 teams last year to over 900 teams from a variety for sports for 2008. With the help of each of our members, the women's basketball community and beyond can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer."
Schools have chosen to participate in a variety of different ways. Some ideas for involvement include ordering pink uniforms, inviting breast cancer survivors to the game, wearing pink shooting shirts, asking all fans to wear pink, and raffling off pink basketballs to raise money for a charity. The extent of involvement is up to the individual institution; the importance comes in the awareness that the event creates. The Association's original goal for this year's "Think Pink" was 750 participants, which was surpassed late January. The "Think Pink" initiative has also crossed over to other sports, including swimming and diving, gymnastics, tennis and men's basketball. For a complete list of participants, click here.
ETSU Lady Buccaneer players will be sporting pink shooting shirts prior to the game as well as pink shoelaces during the contest. The coaching and game-day staff will also be showcasing pink. Fans are also asked to participate by wearing pink too.
In order to raise money for the fight against breast cancer, the ETSU Department of Athletics will be holding a silent auction throughout the entire women's game and up until halftime of the men's contest. There will be several of autographed items to bid on, and the winners will be announced during the second half of the men's game versus Lipscomb. In addition, donation sites will be set up in the Dome so fans can help contribute to the cause.
Thus far, several WBCA partners and sponsors have chosen to get involved in the WBCA's "Think Pink" initiative. ESPN has joined the initiative by dedicating their annual "February Frenzy" and "Big Monday" women's college basketball games on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com to promoting breast cancer awareness and supporting the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund in partnership with The V Foundation. The NCAA has also joined the "Think Pink" initiative by implementing the "Calling for a Cure" campaign where all NCAA women's basketball officials will be blowing a pink whistle February 8-17. Additionally, officials are encouraged to make a donation to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. WBCA sponsor Russell Athletic among several others have also jumped on board with the initiative, providing numerous schools with pink uniforms and apparel. They are donating a portion of any proceeds to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
Many schools have partnered with local charities to make any donations raised through the "Think Pink" initiative at their individual school. Any school that has not already partnered with a charity has been encouraged to make donations to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
About the WBCA
Founded in 1981, the WBCA promotes women's basketball by unifying coaches at all levels to develop a reputable identity for the sport and to foster and promote the development of the game as a sport for women and girls. For additional information about the WBCA, please visit WBCA.org.

Here is another new game I purchased on the Android Market. Mystique is from developer Bendroid. It is a puzzle game where you have to escape from a dark room filled with ghost. Not exactly the Quake I was asking for this week, but still a first person 3d game. For only 99c, I think it is a nice demo of what the G1 is capable of doing. I look forward to the next Chapter in this game to see if they improve on the graphics. I think they got the controls pretty spot on. It would be nice to adjust the sensitivity though.

Eagles lose to Canada in Pacific Nations Cup opener
EDMONTON, Canada – The USA Rugby Men's Eagles kept Canada to one try Saturday, but ultimately fell 9-16 in the first match of the IRB Pacific Nations Cup at Ellerslie Rugby Park. Fullback Adam Siddall earned his first cap and kicked three penalty goals in the loss.
With wet conditions on the field, the Eagles suffered a few ball-handling mistakes in the first half and could not keep possession in the opening minutes. In the fifth minute, Canada's Connor Braid kicked a penalty goal for a 3-0 lead.
Eric Fry put a punishing hit on a Canadian attacker to regain possession for the Eagles, who enjoyed a lengthy spell within 10 meters of the Canada try line. After a few phases, however, Toby L'Estrange's attempted kick behind the Canada defense was blocked for a knock on and a scrum. The Eagles won the scrum, but committed a knock on of their own, ending the scoring threat.
The Eagles started to find their rhythm and played patiently, waiting for Canada to make a mistake. Braid attempted a drop goal from about midfield with a booming kick, but it fell just under the bar.
Before the halfway mark of the first half, a wayward pass from an Eagles lineout just meters from their own try zone was grabbed by John Moonlight, who only had to take a few steps before diving over the line for the match's first try. Braid's conversion extended Canada's lead to 10-0.
Luke Hume, coming off of a long sevens season, made a nice run through a few defenders before another Eagles knock turned possession over to the northern neighbors. Canada committed a penalty not long into their attack, however, giving Siddall an opportunity to put the Eagles on the board. His long kick missed wide, but the Eagles were getting closer.
Siddall kicked his first penalty goal a few minutes before the end of the half after captain Todd Clever made a strong run into their attacking side of the field. Siddall made Canada pay for their mistake and put the Eagles on the board 10-3.
Canada was strong in the scrum in the first half and was awarded a penalty in the last minute, but the Eagles escaped the half down by a converted try.
The Eagles came out of the break the hungrier team and were awarded a penalty about 35 meters out in the 50th minute. Siddall kicked the ball straight down the middle of the sticks to cut the Eagles' deficit to 10-6.
With a strong defense and a confident attack building in the second half, it seemed the Eagles were destined to score their first try of the match. They settled for another Siddall penalty goal in the 63rd minute for a 10-9 scoreline.
Liam Murphy replaced John Quill after the penalty, giving Murphy his first Test cap. James Paterson, who scored a try in the last meeting between the two sides in June 2012, used his speed to find space on the wing, but was tackled into touch to end the opportunity.
Braid added two more penalty goals within minutes of each other to extend Canada's lead to 16-9, and Clever was involved in a scuffle during a Canada maul to add to the Eagles' frustration as the match started to wind down. Blaine Scully and Seamus Kelly also entered the game for the Eagles, with Kelly earning his first cap.
In the closing minutes, the Eagles started to move the ball within 10 meters of the Canada try line. The Eagles were awarded a penalty five meters out, but opted not to kick for points as only a converted try would do. Canada held strong, however, and relieved pressure with a kick into touch before an Eagles knock forced the referee's whistle.
"We had hoped to come out faster in the first half. We were flat and didn't see the opportunities which allowed them to get on the front foot. In the second half we were more aggressive and we had the run of play. Unfortunately we we didn't' get through a lot of phases and we didn't get to score tries because of it," said Tolkin.
Though the loss is disappointing, the match was the first in a busy 2013 schedule for the Men's Eagles. They will get a chance at revenge in August against Canada in a Rugby World Cup Qualifier at Charleston's Blackbaud Stadium. Up next for the Eagles is Ireland at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium June 8 before resuming Pacific Nations Cup action against Tonga at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., June 14.

I like the Book of James. He doesn't beat around the bush. Like in Chapter 3, when James is teaching us about "a small member" of our body that is "a restless evil, full of deadly poison." He is referring to our tongue, of course.
We are all guilty. I know I can hardly get through a day without saying a harsh word to or about someone. And have you ever just stopped to listen to the conversations around us – among friends and neighbors … and yes -- church members. It seems James knew us well.

Daniel Wilson found his calling when he was 6-years-old.
"I was saved at an young age," he said. "I just knew at that moment I was going to be a pastor."
Wilson, 30, has been the minister at Dry Ridge Baptist Church for four months, after serving in the evangelism office of the Alabama Baptist State Convention (ABSC). He has been a Southern Baptist pastor for 10 years and has preached at churches in Alabama and Kentucky. He replaced Joseph Kitchens, who moved to preach in Alabama.
Quite possibly, the four weeks of the NCAA tournament are the most anticipated four weeks of the year for Kentucky fans. We cheer and yell; spend inordinate amounts of money to buy tickets, shirts, hats, and jerseys.

Easter is one of the best times of the year. Spring is just around the corner. You can buy "Peeps" at the store and there are always eggs to color. There is something about this holiday that propels us into good spirits. Maybe it's the warm weather, baseball season beginning (Go Reds) or the hope of summer coming.
I believe there is a bigger reason for the hope that spring brings to us. This hope is found is something much more profound. The hope of Easter comes in the reality of why we celebrate with so much anticipation.

Science Technology & Engineering Preview Summer Camp for Girls
"Initially nervous about attending and thinking the camp would be boring, by the end of the week we wanted to be duct-taped to our beds so we could stay longer. STEPS expanded your mind and your self-esteem. It was flattering to be accepted from all the seventh grade girls in Wisconsin." Two 1997 campers."
"Somewhere in their young lives girls are given the false message that they don't have the talent or ability to follow careers in engineering, science, and technology. They begin believing it, which results in a severe shortage of women in these fields. The objective of STEPS is to reverse this influence at an early enough age that the girls have not burned any bridges in scholastic preparation for a technical career. The short-term results of our camp are gratifying. The camp doubles the number of girls who report that they knew what an engineer or scientist does and doubles the number who aspire to an engineering or science career." Dr. Pete Heimdahl, Director, STEPS for Girls.
"This project is truly exemplary of the kind of action needed for education equity, and we applaud your efforts." Kay E. Stevens, Initiative for Educational Equity Coordinator, the American Association of University Women – Wisconsin, in announcing that STEPS for Girls had won the organization's 1998 Equity Initiative Award.
"When I was accepted into the STEPS program for one week last summer." 1997 camper, when asked in a newspaper interview about the most memorable thing she had ever done.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for the awesome week you provided my daughter, Holly! What a wonderful experience! Holly is all excited talking about all she learned, sharing principles that were discussed, and giving reasons for why things were done in a certain way. I appreciate all the effort that was given to provide such a wonderful experience." Parent of 2002 camper.
"My daughter attended the STEPS program two summers ago in 1999. She has gained so much from it I can't put it into words. Her self-confidence has skyrocketed to the moon. Her grades have followed. Old grades were 2.5 - 2.7 range. Since the program, 3.7-4.0. Yes, straight A's a couple times. Our entire family attributes the change to the STEPS Program. She is a real leader and go-getter the last couple years. She always tells us that "she found out that she wasn't dumb" at the camp. No other changes in her life. She has surrounded herself with great friends and consistently gets high remarks from her instructors in school. Truly an amazing life change for her." Father of 1999 camper.
"If I could go again, I would!" 2002 Camper.
"Not only was STEPS fun, but it also gave me a different perspective on engineering. I didn't think that engineering could be this much fun or this interesting. It made me think about getting a job in the engineering field some day…. I am glad that you gave us a chance to learn. You opened up a new world for us." 2002 Camper.

Type approval of ionising smoke detectors (ISM)
Ionising smoke detectors (ISM) are equipments that contain radioactive materials, mostly Americium-241. The radiation of the radioactive material ionizes the air located in the smoke detectors. The induced ionisation current changes if smoke aerosols entered the ISM. This is used to create a smoke alarm.
Generally, the operation of ISM requires a licence, except ISM are type approved. To achieve a type approval it is necessary to comply with specific requirements of radiation protection, as, e.g., the limits of radiation dose rate.

Judge Smacks Down Lawsuit From HuffPo Volunteers, Says 'They Got What They Paid For'
from the and-stay-away dept
There were all sorts of problems with his argument, beyond just the fact that he agreed to basic terms and was trying to go back and change them afterwards. It also showed a complete misunderstanding of the nature of equity in a company. If Huffington Post had flopped and was in debt, would Tasini then be legally required to help cover the debt? Of course not. Ownership (equity) is a totally separate issue from compensation -- and the capital gains on equity have everything to do with the risk that the founders and investors put into HuffPo, completely unrelated to the question of direct compensation. But, of course, none of that matters because, again, Tasini agreed to the deal upfront in which he blogged for free. If he didn't understand the terms of the deal, that was his problem. The arguments in his filing were even more ridiculous, where (despite this not being a copyright issue) he pretended that the Copyright Clause of the Constitution meant that content creators must be "appropriately compensated." The whole thing was a complete joke.
It was made even more ridiculous when it later came out that Tasini himself had a blog... on which he had volunteer writers who he did not pay. Not only was the lawsuit stupid, but it was filed by a hypocrite who didn't understand the law and did the same thing he was angry at HuffPo for doing.
Thankfully, it appears the judge agreed. Not only did the court dismiss the lawsuit, but it did so with prejudice, meaning that Tasini can't just refile the lawsuit to make up for its failings. The judge is effectively saying that it doesn't matter what legal arguments Tasini makes, he has absolutely no case.
There is no question that the plaintiffs submitted their materials to The Huffington Post with no expectation of monetary compensation and that they got what they paid for — exposure in The Huffington Post....Tasini is apparently considering appealing, which would be a waste of time and money. Any court is going to smack this lawsuit down.
Moreover, equity and good conscience plainly do not support the plaintiffs in this matter. No one forced the plaintiffs to give their work to The Huffington Post for publication and the plaintiffs candidly admit that they did not expect compensation. The principles of equity and good conscience do not justify giving the plaintiffs a piece of the purchase price when they never expected to be paid, repeatedly agreed to the same bargain, and went into the arrangement with eyes wide open.... Quite simply, the plaintiffs offered a service and the defendants offered exposure in return, and the transaction occurred exactly as advertised. The defendants followed through on their end of the agreed-upon bargain. That the defendants ultimately profited more than the plaintiffs might have expected does not give the plaintiffs a right to change retroactively their clear, up-front agreement. That is an effort to change the rules of the game after the game has been played, and equity and good conscience require no such result.
In the meantime, Tasini has now branded himself as someone who has twice filed major lawsuits against publications that published his writings. It makes you wonder: what publication would want to put itself at such risk in the future?

Park Trails
at Trail of Tears State Park
Peewah Trail
- Backpacking
- Hiking
- Horseback Riding
Length: 9 Miles View map
Trail Rating: Rugged
Peewah Trail explores Indian Creek Wild Area, a 1,300-acre area located in one of the most rugged areas of the Mississippi River hills. The Mississippi River, along with Indian Creek and small tributaries, dissect the surrounding loess-covered hills, creating a maze of ravines and side hollows. Majestic hardwood forests of white oak, tulip poplar and hickory cover the hills. Floodplain forests along Indian Creek contain large sweet gums and willows, while junglelike areas thick with wild grapevines abound within the lowlands. Spring wildflowers bloom in abundance along the ridges and deep within the hollows. Nearby, majestic limestone bluffs tower above the river.
Visitors can follow this trail into one of the most remote parts of the park and experience a sense of solitude devoid of the sights and sounds of everyday life. The trail consists of two loops with a short connector trail between the two. The east loop traverses the ridges of the area and runs atop the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. A short spur leads to an overlook of the Mississippi River for a 1.5-mile round trip from the main trailhead to the overlook. The yellow trail runs along the Mississippi River bluffs for a period before dropping down into a valley with several creek bed crossings. The bottomland along the creek is full of wildflowers in the spring and also contains giant cane. This area is subject to backwater flooding depending upon the water level of the Mississippi River, and portions of the trail may be under water at times. The trail has a steep climb out of the valley back up to the ridge top. At this point, white connector 1 connects to the trail's west loop for a longer hike.
The west loop traverses several valleys and ridges and showcases a variety of forest types. There are sections of dry cherty soils with lots of oaks and hickories as well as bottomland areas with large sycamore and sweet gum trees and an abundance of ferns. Damage from a 2003 tornado can still be seen in the open areas. These areas are slowly regenerating with new plants and trees. Steep drainages empty rainwater into Indian Creek and flash flooding may occur. Some backwater flooding can occur when the water level of the Mississippi River is high. At times, a small portion of the trail may be under water.
White connector 2 divides the west loop and provides access to a backpack camp. Groups of seven or more must camp in this area. The camp contains no improvements or water. No open fires are allowed; backpacking stoves must be carried to the campsite for cooking. Backpackers should notify park staff of any intentions to camp there.
Peewah Trail can be slippery during wet conditions. Hikers may encounter ticks, poison ivy, briars and downed trees as well as see white-tailed deer, turkey, eagles and snakes. The Overlook Road gate will be closed daily at the assigned times. Equestrians with larger trailers may park on the grass outside the overlook gate at the entrance to the west (red) loop. Equestrians should take care not to travel on the trail when conditions are wet and use caution while riding on the bluffs above the river. Equestrian camping is not allowed.
You may experience:
- Natural surface, dirt, mud, gravel, shifting rocks, slippery surface, etc.
- Rocks, roots and/or downed vegetation on trail
- Low hanging vegetation
- Steep grades and inclines more than 10 percent
- Bluffs or drop-offs next to trail
- Water/stream crossings without bridges
- Occasional water over trail

CRANBERRY TWP — More than 1,300 employees evacuated a building at Westinghouse Electric Co.'s headquarters Tuesday afternoon after a computer malfunction created smoke on the second floor.
Vaughn Gilbert, the director of communications for the company, said the incident affected only the second floor of Building One on the large campus, which has four buildings.
Those displaced employees only waited about 30 minutes before being let back inside about 2:30 p.m.
"There was only a minimal amount of smoke," Gilbert said, adding that there wasn't any damage. "But we decided to do the safe thing and get everyone out."
Mark Nanna, the assistant administrator for the township's fire company, said his crew did little at the business besides go in and check out the source of the smoke.
"And there wasn't really much smoke," he said.
Fire crews from Adams, Cranberry and Marshall townships responded to the call just before 2 p.m.

Give visible feedback/warning about session expiration
This is a variation of Rick Kennell's wish, #176. When the user's account page is displayed with a list of currently active sessions, sessions that are close to expiring could be highlighted in yellow or red, and when only minutes remain, they would blink. Clicking on a "+" sign or such would reset the access time for the session to the current time, without having to actually view it. The level for yellow could be less than 6 hours left, red could be less than an hour, and blinking for less than 15 minutes.
A less complicated, single-level variant could simply make them blink if there's less than an hour left.

Talks about how a city's was abandoned 30 year piror to the story because of biological warfare and now it's run by War Machine with AI.
And now a guy (the protagonist?) is visiting the place and encounter a gitl in a planetarium.
The girl, Yumeru, is a spoiled robot, seems to be waiting for someone for the past 30 years. And now all she can do is to act as a projector.
The guy will now patch her up to see what she has to say about her past.....

There's only two logical answers you can give to us now: either you're too impatient to get the games in your mailbox (which is complete bull if you ask me, I rather wait for something I order) OR you want to see which games you'll actually buy.
Basic human logic tells us not to buy something you don't like. Why? Because you'd be wasting your money. Period. These games can go all the way up to 90 dollars and the rips you get from Winny or Share or whatever warez program you're getting them from aren't for example fansubs which have lower quality than the DVDs. No, you get an exact copy of a game which you can play normally, mostly without much problems.
(If the thread participants were jury and you were on trial for downloading those games, you know what the verdict would be, don't you?).
We turn in to criminals as soon as we go online, you know that, right?

I support an industry such as this, even if I don't like the product. My logic is that it is my logic, something I don't expect other's to possibly understand. As it stands, in the last 4 years of me actively purchasing ero's direct from Japan, I've only purchased three titles that I previously categorized as 'crap' in my opinion...now why did I do this despite me not loking the title, was it because I wasted money...no, I did it because I downloaded the program with the intent that I was going to purchase it, then I turned around and resold it, lost maybe $5 in the shipping.
As you can see, I don't end up wasting my money, there are people out there with different tastes to mine and ones that will more than likely like the titles I don't, and I kinda hope it's true. This will allow me to follow my standards of wanting a shareware-style setup and still paying to support the genre.
Of course, I couldn't care less what you or anyone else thinks of me...let alone quote Biblical scripture...but please, engage the brain before trying to throw out insults. As for the quality, that's up to debate...several fansub groups release DVD-ripped versions, other's are strictly rippers...either way, there is no loss of quality and thus makes your arguement between the games and anime moot.
Besides, taking for example here...
I downloaded CRC on the whim of a friend's recommendation, in the beginning I didn't like the game all that much, but despite that I still purchased the, at the time, $95 game only to continue to play it and find that I actually started to enjoy it. To me, it was well worth the gamble that I took. I'm not rich, far from it...hell my last paycheck was *just* $150 after taxes because of slashing of my hours, but I will still do whatever I need to support something that I believe in...There are very few companies I will buy blindly from...Age, Key, and some Angel Smile products, I almost faithfully purchase all products from them just on principle alone because I want them to keep producing the good titles. Yes, this is a huge waste of money to some, but for me, I find that I feel better about myself for supporting a small community that I like.

I'm also one of those who downloads before I buy kind of people, if I dont like a particular game i just delete it. Same thing goes with fansubs.
And dont tell me those who haven't downloaded anything illegal didnt at least download an illegal mp3 in their lives.
Anyway back on topic.
English: Private Nurse
Japanese: Wind A Breath Of Heart (and yes I will buy the rerealeased game when the english patch comes out)

Fate/Stay Night is good, but I think that they should translate something dark and emotional such as Tenshi Inai No Jyuuni Gatsu ( 天使いないの十二月 ) as a test to see how emotionally mature the average western Gal Gamer/Anime fan is.
I've played it and was never the same gal gamer and to some extent, the same person I was.
As of now, I'm playing Fifth Aile. Yah, loli yarugee (borderline kichiku), I know.But read my user title.

I hope you understand what I mean.
In no way I was thinking of this as a contest or anything : I'm just pointing out that most English H-games are bad examples of those sort of games.
If I really wanted to do a contest I would have just given the names+getchu link or whatever of all the H-games I currently have on my computer (not counting those I lost because of bad DVD/CD).

I'm really hoping for either a group to sub Da Capo or a company to license the game.
Well there was a group that was considering to translate it, but it was either Da Capo or Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, and KgNE won :P
Da Capo must be pretty damn popular in Japan for it to spawn 2 sequel/side-stories along with a remake with 4 (I think) new characters.

Greenbelt (MD, US), 3 January — On December 28 in Antarctica (which corresponds to Dec. 27 back here in the States), the team completed the traverse and arrived back at Byrd Camp with a warm welcome from the camp residents. In 18 days they had traveled 500 kilometers (310 miles), drilled eight ice cores, dug six 2-meter (6.56-ft) snow pits and set up and broken down six camps sites. And, I am guessing here, but I am sure they heaved over 20,000 shovels of snow and lifted over two tons per person while moving the science equipment, food and gear around. Ludo shoveled the most, digging the snowpits, and Randy lifted the most, hauling the ice core drill up and down while pulling each ice core to the surface. Most importantly, the team completed all planned science activities and returned safely.
The team arrived Byrd Camp at 10 AM and immediately started packing their gear in order to catch a flight out the next day. Yes, more lifting. It was going to be a very quick turnaround but the rule in Antarctica is, if a plane is on the ground, get on it! The team, along with the camp staff, had the pallet of gear built by the evening and got to enjoy a big meal from the Byrd Camp chefs. They found out early on the 29th that they would not be getting a plane that day — there had been a medical emergency somewhere else in Antarctica and the plane had been diverted there to help. No one is ever frustrated in situations like these; everyone just hopes for the best for whoever was in the incident and waits patiently for the next plane.
The next plane to McMurdo was scheduled for Jan. 2, 2012 (New Year's Day in the States). This gave the team plenty of time to rest their arms and backs and recover from all their hard work, and gave the weather a chance to allow the Twin Otter at Byrd to retrieve the cached ice cores and empty fuel barrels at the camp site. The cores were collected and taken to WAIS Divide Camp, where they will stay in a freezer (a giant dug-out snow cave) until mid-January, when they will fly to McMurdo on a cold-deck LC-130 flight (a flight with the heater turned off). Once in McMurdo, the ice cores will wait in a freezer until the resupply ship reaches the station in February. Then they will be loaded into the ship's freezer and sailed to Port Hueneme, California. At this point, they will be put in a freezer truck and driven to the lab in Provo, Utah, at Bringham Young University. The ice cores have a long journey ahead!
The team rang in 2012 at Byrd Camp, which only about 35 other people can claim they did, and on Jan. 2 they left for McMurdo, arriving very late that same day. I talked with the team briefly on the phone when they were in McMurdo, but they were very busy. There was a flight out at 2 AM on Jan. 4 that they were scheduled to leave on. They were all busy cleaning and returning gear, packing and shipping the science equipment back to the States and getting ready to leave Antarctica for Christchurch, New Zealand. I expect to hear if the team has arrived in Christchurch later today or tomorrow. If all is on schedule, the team is just leaving Antarctica and flying over the Ross Sea. Christchurch has been experiencing a swarm of earthquakes over the past few days but there has been no damage that would delay the team's return. Once the team is settled in a location with good internet connectivity we will start posting their blog posts and images from the traverse, so stay tuned!

Yale Mentor Led Bulldogs to Ivy Title, First NCAA Tournament Match Win in 2011
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Danielle McNamara, who has has led the Yale women's tennis program to two Ivy League Championships, two NCAA Tournament appearances and four ECAC Indoor Team Championships as the Bulldogs' head coach, was honored recently as 2011 USTA New England College Coach of the Year.
In 2011, McNamara led the Bulldogs to the first NCAA Tournament match win in school history, earning ITA Northeast Region Coach of the Year. The season was also highlighted by an Ivy League Championship and the team's third straight ECAC Indoor Team Championship. Yale's ITA ranking climbed as high as No. 23 in the country, the highest it had been in the 30-year history of the ITA rankings. Yale bested that mark earlier this season, rising as high as No. 18. The team is currently No. 24.
The Bulldogs also had five players earn All-Ivy League recognition last season and had a doubles team advance to the quarterfinals of the USTA/ITA National Indoor Championships in the fall of 2010 for the first time in school history.
A native of Massachusetts, McNamara joined the Yale coaching staff as an assistant coach in 2005 and was hired as the head coach in the summer of 2006. She has made a significant impact since arriving in New Haven, compiling a record of 73-33 overall and 35-7 vs. Ivy League opponents (29-6 in league matches) in her first five seasons. The Bulldogs have been particularly dominant at home, including an undefeated mark in New Haven (12-0) in 2010-11. Indoors, the Bulldogs play at the award-winning Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center, which was the host site for the 2009 National Intercollegiate Indoor Tennis Championships and has also played host to numerous regional ITA and USTA events.
McNamara has shown a tremendous ability to recruit the best and the brightest players on a national level, recruiting multiple blue chip and 5-star players according to the tennisrecruiting.net rankings. Her most recent recruiting class, the Yale Class of 2016, was ranked No. 10 in the country this past winter. That comes on the heels of Yale's Class of 2013 being ranked No. 14 in the country, the Class of 2014 being ranked No. 8 and the Class of 2015 being ranked No. 21. Two of her recruited players have competed in junior Grand Slams prior to coming to Yale (Wimbledon, US Open).
Under McNamara's leadership the Bulldogs have been successful in the classroom as well, earning ITA All-Academic Team recognition in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The team has had 14 ITA Scholar Athlete selections in her first five seasons. McNamara has also coached four Academic All-Ivy League selections.
The Bulldogs have been active in the community under McNamara as well, and for her efforts she won the 2010 USTA/ITA Campus and Community Outreach Award for the New England region. Yale hosts an annual Campus Kids' Day for local children and has organized a food and clothing drive for the homeless. The team also takes part in New Haven Tennis Outreach, a youth mentorship program for students in grades 3-12 directed towards children from low-income families who otherwise would not have access to high-quality academic guidance or athletic instruction.
As a student-athlete at Michigan from 1996-2000 playing under her maiden name Danielle Lund, McNamara was the Big Ten Sportswoman of the Year (1999) and All-Big Ten (1998). She was the first player in Michigan history to participate in all three college national championships (All-American, National Indoors and the NCAA Championships). She was a two-time captain of the squad and earned the Michigan Athletic Department's Academic Achievement Award and the Donald R. Shepherd endowed scholarship for athletic and academic success.
Among her other accomplishments, McNamara won one gold and one bronze ball in national USTA events. She was also selected to coach the USTA Girl's 18 New England national team at the National Team Championships in 2008 and 2009.
McNamara is a current member of the ITA Board of Directors, Division I Operating Committee and the USTA New England Collegiate Committee. She was the co-chair of the 2009 ITA National Indoor Championships tournament committee and the chair of the 2009 ITA Northeast Regionals tournament committee.
USTA New England is one of 17 regional sections across the country that comprise the United States Tennis Association (USTA). It is a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting and developing the growth of tennis and increasing participation in the sport in New England by offering quality recreational and competitive programs for people of all ages and abilities. Founded in 1927 as the New England Lawn Tennis Association, USTA New England boasts more than 30,000 individual members, 350 organizational members, 1,000 volunteers, and a professional staff of 20.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks mostly inched higher Wednesday, building slightly on the prior day's sizeable advance, as a better-than-expected report on private-sector hiring underscored the economy's recent strength.
The Dow industrials DJIA, +0.14% rose 20.17 points, or 0.1%, to end at 16,976.24, putting it once again within striking distance of 17,000, while the S&P 500 SPX, +0.18% nudged up 1.30 points, or 0.1%, to finish at 1,974.62. Each index scored a record close for the second straight day.
The Nasdaq COMP, +0.74% bucked Wednesday's positive trend, falling 0.92 point, or less than 0.1%, to close at 4,457.73. The tech-heavy index snapped a three-session winning streak.
Investors are awaiting Thursday's monthly jobs report, and even a surprisingly strong private-sector jobs report couldn't jolt the market to life. Thursday's report is expected to show a net gain of 215,000 non-farm jobs and a steady 6.3% unemployment rate.
The ADP report, which showed 281,000 new private-sector jobs, has "not been a good indicator" for the jobs report, but still "the growth bulls will be pleased, and the "whisper numbers" for the jobs report will probably rise, said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, in emailed comments. Read more: What the ADP report tells us
In addition to Wednesday's economic data, investors took in comments from Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, with at least one analyst seeing a "slightly dovish" tone. The S&P 500 rose to a session high as the full text of Yellen's speech came out, but then quickly pared its gain.
Checkout MarketWatch's live blog of Wednesday's stock market action
Among individual stocks, Constellation Brands Inc. STZ, -0.69% gained 2.3% after the distributor of Corona beer and Svedka vodka posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Meanwhile, Rackspace Hosting Inc. US:RAX jumped 6.7% following a report the cloud-services company is thinking of going private.
On the downside, GoPro Inc. GPRO, -1.01% slid 13.9% for its first daily loss since debuting last week. Read more in MarketWatch's Movers & Shakers column
In other markets, August oil CLQ4, +0.00% fell, while gold futures US:GCQ4 edged up. Stocks in Asia finished higher, including a 0.3% rise of Japan's Nikkei Average NIK, -0.34% and the Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, +1.84% extended gains from Tuesday when it notched its strongest performance in two months.

T.J. Boyajian never seriously considered hanging up his shoulder pads, but there was a moment when the thought crossed his mind. He had just finished a long summer of American Legion baseball, and he knew baseball was his future. He would soon commit to play at the Community College of Rhode Island. Football was slowly moving to the back burner.
"To be honest, I came in out of shape," Boyajian said. "At the beginning of the year, I was really planning on focusing on baseball."
Then a funny thing happened. Boyajian got on the field with his teammates, and as memories of their Thanksgiving win over Pilgrim came rushing back, he realized that something special was brewing.
That moment when football started drifting? It left as quickly as it came.
"As soon as I got into the pads and I got out there, I was like, 'How could I miss this?'" Boyajian said.
He was thrilled that he didn't.
Boyajian became one of the best players in the state and the 'Canes made good on their potential by putting together their best season since 2008. For Boyajian, it was the most special part of a great senior year. He battled injuries in the spring, but still shined for the Vets baseball team.
He leaves Vets with a tremendous athletic career in the rearview mirror.
"It was more than I could ask for," he said.
His senior football season set the course. The 'Canes went 1-6 his junior year but surged to an upset of Pilgrim on Thanksgiving. With a solid core returning, it was the perfect springboard. The current seniors had witnessed two winless seasons in their first two years with the program, but all of a sudden, they were believing.
"It started Thanksgiving two years ago," Boyajian said. "We weren't supposed to win that game, but we came in believing we could do it. When we upset Pilgrim, it just rolled into this season. We came together as a team and everyone bought into the system. That's why we were so successful."
Jessie Sedoma emerged as a threat to run and throw from the quarterback spot. The offensive line grew into a steady unit. The defense improved.
And Boyajian ran. He finished the year with more than 1,500 yards rushing, and his penchant for breaking long runs made the Vets offense as explosive as any in the division.
The 'Canes turned into a contender, knocking off Westerly in surprising fashion and contending for a playoff spot until a loss in the final week of league play.
Even after that, the 'Canes were undeterred. They steamrolled to a 40-0 win on Thanksgiving, the largest margin of victory in series history. Boyajian rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns.
"We should have been in the playoffs," Boyajian said. "We had our opportunity and we didn't get it done, but we came back strong and beat Pilgrim on Thanksgiving."
Boyajian earned second-team All-State honors for his big season, but he viewed his success through the lens of the football team's resurgence.
"It was great making All-State and everything, but for me, it was really all about the program," Boyajian said. "It wouldn't have happened without everybody else on the team. As soon as I found out I made All-State, I told all the guys and I said, 'Thank you.' I told my linemen, 'Whatever you guys want, I owe you.'"
And for all the accolades, the season was really defined by being part of a special team.
"That team was a family," Boyajian said. "What we did these past two years was amazing."
Boyajian was ready for another big baseball season on the heels of a second-team All-State campaign in 2012. A shoulder injury kept him off the field for a time, but when he was on the field, he was the team's catalyst and one of the best players in Division II.
Though Vets didn't have the year it was looking for, finishing 9-7, it wasn't for a lack of effort.
"We worked hard," Boyajian said. "Everyone worked for it."
Boyajian will get plenty more innings on the field at Vets this summer, as he returns to the New England Frozen Lemonade/Shields Post 43 legion team. Then it's on to CCRI.
"I'm wicked excited about it," he said. "It's awesome that that all came together. Coach [Kevin] Rix and Coach [Ken] Hopkins have been watching me since my freshman year and they've always kept an eye on me. I'm excited for it because I know I'm going into a good program. I'm looking forward to the next step."
And he'll have a lot of fond memories of the last step.

When Lipscomb basketball coach Scott Sanderson put together his schedule, he knew this year's would be the toughest during his 11 years at Lipscomb and the difficult schedule would make his team better prepared for Atlantic Sun conference games.
"It's not about who we are playing, but rather getting us ready for conference play," Sanderson said. "We made our schedule difficult on purpose."
While Sanderson's Bisons will face an uphill battle Tuesday night when they tip off against No. 17-ranked Ohio State at 6 p.m. (CT), the game will be a step in the learning and growing process as the Bisons look towards their eventual goal of winning the A-Sun tournament and advancing to the "Big Dance" in March.
"You have to look at the big picture," Sanderson said. "The big picture is trying to get ready for our league."
Lipscomb lost its first three games to start the 2009-10 campaign giving up over 90 points in each. The Bisons have been known for their defense in previous years and are 1-14 when giving up 90 or more points over the last seven seasons.
Ohio State (3-1) is scoring 98 points per game this year and is led by Evan Turner who is scoring 21.8 points and grabbing 14.8 boards per contest.
Following the graduation of guard Michael Lusk, junior Brandon Brown has received the task of guarding the opponent's top player.
"He's scored a lot for us this year, but we need his defensive intensity," Sanderson said. "We need his defensive understanding. He will guard a variety of people in our league. He'll guard small point guards and he'll guard long wing players. As good as he's been he can still be better. We definitely need him to step up on the defensive end."
With early season home losses to Elon and Tennessee Tech, Sanderson is working to teach his squad to learn from their mistakes with conference play beginning Dec. 3 at Mercer.
"Have we had some losses at home that we are displeased with? Absolutely," Sanderson said. "We had three really good days of practice since Thursday. Our guys really responded. You learn from your mistakes and we have gotten better in the last three days of practice."
Last year A-Sun foe Jacksonville lost its first seven non-conference games including an 81-68 loss at Ohio State on Dec. 17. Jacksonville went on to go 15-5 in conference play and won the A-Sun regular season title.
One big bright spot for Lipscomb against Tennessee Tech was the play of freshman point guard Zach Brown. Brown scored two points and had three assists, a block and a steal while turning the ball over once.
"He played very well Thursday," Sanderson said. "He has a very good understanding of what we are trying to do and hopefully that will give him confidence to build on."
Senior point guard Johnny Lee, who transferred to Lipscomb after graduating from George Washington last spring, did not see any action against Tennessee Tech after struggling to control the ball and defend in the Bisons first two games.
"I think Johnny Lee has come to an understanding of what I want him to do," Sanderson said. "It was not predetermined for him not to play. But, I think he has a much better and clearer understanding of what I want him to do on both ends of the floor. We have seen that in practice the last three days and hopefully that will convert into a good performance by him in Tuesday's game."
Junior center Adnan Hodzic has continued to dominate the low post for the Bisons. He is averaging a league-leading 22.7 points per game. The preseason All-Conference selection is shooting 63.8 percent from the field and continues to improve his offensive game, but a key for Lipscomb will be his ability to continue improving on the defensive side too.
"Hopefully he will continue to get better defensively in that low post," Sanderson said. "We need his defensive presence down there. He's been very consistent on the offensive end but he needs to be better on the defensive end."
Junior guard Josh Slater has played with an extremely high intensity level for the Bisons this year. He is averaging 18.7 points per game and leads the A-Sun averaging 6.5 assists per contest. Slater is fifth in the A-Sun in rebounding (8.3) and third in steals (2.67) per game.
"He's played very well on both ends of the floor and he's tough and hardnosed," Sanderson said. "He plays good in these types of games. He's been a good player for us and hopefully he will continue to play that way for us."
Sanderson plans on running a steady mixture of plays and defenses to keep Ohio State on their toes.
"We are going to constantly have to mix it up," Sanderson said. "We can't give them a steady diet of anything. To the best of our ability we have to keep them off balance since they are so explosive and can beat you off the dribble."
No matter what the scoreboard reads after 40 minutes of play, Sanderson hopes his team grows and progresses towards reaching their season-long goals.
"The big picture is trying to get ready for our league and this is another opportunity for us to play a great basketball team on Tuesday night."
Lipscomb fans are invited to a pre-game pep rally at The Columbus Renaissance Hotel beginning at 4:15 p.m. (ET)
The game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network. For Comcast customers in Nashville, the game will be shown on channel 266. To locate the channel in your area, please visit http://bigten.channelfinder.net/start.asp.
Jonathan Seamon, Benjamin Seamon, and Justin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

Early rain to let up by midday
Rain will enter the picture this morning, but will likely let up by midday.
This, says WTNH meteorologist Gil Simmons, will be followed by a period of dry weather -- ushered in by building high pressure -- that should extend into the weekend.
The region's next shot at rain probably won't come until Sunday, when a wintry cocktail of rain and snow is expected to fall.
On Tuesday, temperatures will hover in the high-40s for most of the day, but it will feel colder with gusty winds sweeping the region. By the evening, the mercury is expected to drop into the low-20s in some places.
Here is the rest of Simmons' eight-day forecast:
TODAY: Rainy now-10 A.M. Gradual clearing from west to east. Gusty and colder. Highs 46-50.
TONIGHT: Clear and chilly. Lows 23-32.
WEDNESDAY: Sun to P.M. clouds. Highs 40-43.
THURSDAY: Storm offshore. Sun and clouds. Highs 43-46.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Rain changing to snow shoreline with a mix to snow possible inland. Highs in the 30s to near 40.
MONDAY: A snow and rain mix inland with rain at the shoreline. Messy. Highs 37-42.
TUESDAY: Quiet weather before another possible storm threat Wednesday.

Even in the most modern of times, old fashioned can be good. I read about this a while ago when it made the local news here in Vermont, but evidently yesterday it made national news via Reuters. Vermont has an initiative to have the entire state connected via high speed internet by 2013. That is a mighty tall order if you've ever traversed the state. There are some remote locations and some people that do not want bulldozers and heavy machinery making a lot of noise and spoiling the great outdoors. Consequently, Vermont has looked backward to move forward.
Fair Point communications is reverting to literal horse power in order to lay some of its fiber optic cables in some of Vermont's most remote locations. Draft horses like Fred (above with his owner Claude) are being used to bring the modern day magic of the internet to Vermont and this is nothing new. Claude and Fred have been at this gig of helping to lay lines for about thirty years. Talk about one step backward to move ahead. Who would ever have thought that good old fashioned horse power would be what is behind Vermont's push to move from the bottom to the top of the list for most networked states?
