My most frequently hit article on this blog is one I published back in July of 2009, with a whopping 189 words in it. It was a quick little blurb about Druid Form Color Charts, and to this day it gets more hits in a day than almost every other post combined for the month.
The pictures I had linked in that post are no longer available and I made a newb blogger mistake in linking them directly from the host site. I've found some replacements now though, so you can check back and see the actual charts that so very many people are looking for. I've updated the old article, and here it is again:
We have some further detail on which hair/skin colors will result in which forms for the druids in the upcoming patch. With the possible exception of the change to shaman totems, this is really the 3.2 change that I am most looking forward to. This change is completely full of win on an epic scale.
The source of this information is EpicWins.com. You can check the link there for information on where to find your nearest barbers to getting the job done.
Also, here are some links to the image charts you can use to determine which changes you need to make for the form that best suits your taste. Clicking the image will direct you back to EpicWins's website.
[EDIT: Alright, EpicWins.com took down their pictures and deleted the post that they were in as well as everything else Warcraft related. As such, I've looked for some other pictures to use here instead. These I'm borrowing from MMO-Champion instead. The small images here I host in my photo-bucket account, but clicking them will link you to MMO Champ instead.]

The EEB Graduate Student Symposium is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more 'seasoned' students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings.

Temporal patterns in calling behavior of syntopic anurans
Phenotypically similar species are hypothesized to adjust their behavior when they coexist to decrease competition. Pond-breeding frogs constitute an ideal system to address this hypothesis because multiple species may compete for noise-free periods to call for mates. American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) and green frogs (R. clamitans) commonly co-occur in breeding ponds. Males of both species vocalize to defend territories and attract females. However, bullfrogs call more aggressively than green frogs and are expected to control access to the limiting acoustic resources. I predicted that green frogs increase chorusing activity in periods of bullfrog inactivity and that these patterns can be detected at both diel and seasonal scales. I used automated acoustic software to identify bullfrog and green frog vocalizations through two breeding seasons. Temporal partitioning occurs on a seasonal time scale. Bullfrog and green frog calling rates are both high early in the season in late May but then diverge. Bullfrog calling rate peaks in mid-June and drops sharply thereafter. In contrast, green frog calling falls to low levels in June but then rebounds when bullfrog calling declines, so that green frog calling reaches a second peak in late June and tapers off thereafter, ceasing in early August. There is no evident temporal partitioning on shorter time scales. Both species call most from midnight until 0600. However, the diel timing of bullfrog calling is predictable, whereas green frog calling is more variable. These results suggest green frogs are responding to reduced bullfrog activity by adjusting their calling effort.

Hummingbird feeding mechanics
Modulation of feeding behavior in hummingbirds, the most important vertebrate pollinators, has been demonstrated to affect the persistence of many kinds and number of plants, and subsequently the interactions and services provided by entire ecosystems. Similarly, composition and concentration of floral nectars has been shown to influence which flowers hummingbirds feed at, and their rate of movement among flowers. To date, our understanding of feeding behavior in hummingbirds is based on the theory that they use capillarity in order to feed on nectar. It is widely accepted as fact that hummingbirds feed by moving nectar up their tongues in the same way that water moves up a tiny capillary glass tube. Our entire understanding of the nature of the interaction of hummingbirds and plants has been based on this concept of the mechanics of feeding. My previous work on the structure of the hummingbird tongue suggests that the capillarity model of feeding in hummingbirds may be wrong. Preliminary results point to a novel and radically different nectar trapping mechanism; if true, our ideas about how external factors affect the rate at which hummingbirds gain nectar from flowers would change. In this presentation I document the process of nectar uptake using high-speed video and microscopy capabilities describing the fluid mechanics of tongue loading, discussing the implications of this new perspective at several different levels ranging from biophysics to ecology and evolution.
Jessica Budke
Examining the gametophytic calyptra and its role in sporophyte development using the cord moss (Funaria hygrometrica).
In bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) the diploid sporophyte is small, unbranched, and physically attached to the maternal haploid gametophyte. One of the major maternal influences in moss plants is a cap of gametophyte tissue (the calyptra) that covers the sporophyte's apex during early developmental stages. Previous studies indicate that the calyptra functions mechanically to influence sporophyte development and is necessary for spore formation. Sporophytes without their calyptra wilt at the apex; they survive only when placed in a high humidity chamber. These observations stimulated the hypothesis that the maternally derived calyptra functions as a waterproof cap, preventing desiccation of the developing sporophyte's apex. In plants the cuticle, an external layer of lipids and waxes, maintains internal hydration. To explore this hypothesis, I am using scanning and transmission electron microscopy to examine cuticle morphology and development of both the calyptra and sporophyte in the moss Funaria hygrometrica. Results for this species indicate that the calyptra's cuticle is thicker and more complex than other gametophyte tissues; the cuticle is also present on the calyptra throughout sporophyte development. These observations support the calyptra as a specialized maternal gametophyte structure and provide a mechanism by which the calyptra prevents harmful water loss during critical sporophyte developmental stages. Sporophyte development is directly related to reproductive output and thus evolutionary fitness in mosses. The maternal care provided by the calyptra and its cuticle may have been a critical innovation for the evolutionary success of the ~12,500 moss species worldwide.

Whtiing says his department will try to find ways to avoid too many trips to Lamont
The decision to close the Taft Court house to criminal proceedings is going to affect a lot of people on both sides of the law.
Not only will people accused of breaking the law have to travel to Lamont to appear in court, the people that arrest them will have to deal with travel time.
Reports and evidence that the district attorney needs to review before signing complaints will have to be driven to Lamont.
Officers will have to drive there to testify at preliminary hearings, and inmates being held in the taft jail will also have to be transported to Lamont now.
All in all, it adds up to time and money the Taft Police Department can't afford to waste.
But it has no choice now that the decision has been made to move all criminal, felony and some traffic cases to Lamont after September 9.
Now, police just have to drive down to the courthouse or go to the county building next door to have warrants signed, deliver reports to the district attorney and get criminal complaints.
In six months a 5-minute drive will turn into a 90-minute round trip at least, not counting all the time spent in court or with the D.A.
Taft Chief of Police Ed Whiting said the department is starting to look at ways to avoid making too many trips to Lamont, and is working with the Kern County Sheriff to see that all inmates held in the Taft Jail are transported to court by the Sheriff's transportation units.
Now, all inmates are transported from the Taft jail to court.
Taft has a level I jail, meaning inmates can be held overnight and up until their first court appearance, wafter which they become the responsibility of the county sheriff. Since the KCSO books many of its arrested suspects in Taft, Whiting said he's hopeful that the agreement can include transport to court at county expense for both city and county inmates.
If Taft PD becomes responsible for transport of its prisoners, it could create big problems for the city by taking another sworn officer off the streets for several hours a day.
"That's resources we don't have," Whiting said. " I think the sheriff's office is going to have to run a van over here."
The Sheriff profits from the deal because Taft deputies can book most of their arrests in Taft instead of having to drive to the central receiving facility in Bakersfield to book them.

Teagan Reeves First Team All State
Three Rivers' Teagan Reeves has been named to the Class B All State team.
"Teagan works on her game year round and that effort has turned into improvements in many phases of her game," coach Jason Bingaman said. "She has expanded her field goal percentage away from the basket and has become a consistent threat from mid range, including increasing her free throw percentage to over 70-percent. On the defensive end she has done a better job of understanding how to impact the game with her skill set."
This season Reeves scored 511 points, shattering the record of 432 set by Becca Cline and Morgan Stuut.
She also set the record for most blocks in a season at 97 and most points per game average of 21.3.
Reeves also averaged just over 11 rebounds a game.
"Her biggest improvement has been in how tough she plays around the hoop, last year being the focal point for the first time she had to adapt to being the target of opposing defenses," Bingaman said. "She prepared for that mentally and physically and was able to be more successful this year because of it. It's easier to have big nights when teams are not game planning for you, but each team we played this year had to game plan for her, and she was still highly successful."
Bingaman added that the team played a role in her success.
"As much work as Teagan put in though, any state recognition is due to having teammates be part of the process," Bingaman said. "We had girls on the team who knew what our strengths were, and did a great job of creating avenues for us to be successful through Teagan."
Also being named to all sate teams were, Tori Jankoska, Freeland, 5-7, Sr., Player of the Year.
Andrea Anastos, Livonia Ladywood, Taylor Gleason, Goodrich, Kelli Guy, Kalkaska, Sparkle Taylor, Flint Northwestern, D'Erika Varenhorst, Ludington, Keyara Wiard, Muskegon Oakridge, Asia Doss, Birmingham Detroit Country Day, Teagan Reeves, Three Rivers, Lindsay Winter, Clare, Kalabrya Gondrezick, Benton Harbor, Kysre Gondrezick, Benton Harbor.

Durham, N.C. - The fifth-ranked Duke University men's tennis team earned its first win of the season over a ranked opponent, defeating No. 46 Middle Tennessee State, 7-0, Friday at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The Blue Devils improved their record to 4-0 for the season, while the Blue Raiders fall to 2-1. The Blue Devils will face Northwestern in the championship match Saturday at 6 p.m. The winner of the championship match will play in the ITA Team National Indoors Feb. 15-18 in Seattle, Wash.
"It was a really good match for us, I thought we played well in doubles," said head coach Ramsey Smith. "In singles, we had very good starts on all of the courts, but Middle Tennessee battled us hard. We had a lot of tight second sets, which I think is good for us to have to compete and battle through some of those tougher matches."
The pair of juniors Chris Mengel and Fred Saba took the first doubles match for the Blue Devils on the day over the Blue Raider pair of Ben Davis and David Fox, 8-3, on court three. After staying on serve until 4-4 in the No. 2 doubles match, Michael Redlicki and Jason Tahir were able to earn a break point and went on to clinch the doubles point for Duke, 8-5, over Victor Cornea and Yannick Born.
Henrique Cunha and Rafael Hemmeler, the top-ranked doubles tandem in the nation, left their match unfinished at the No. 1 doubles position against Middle Tennessee State's duo of Christoph Lang and Marlon Brand, 6-5.
The team had a strong start in its six singles matches of the day. On court three, Redlicki continued his dominant play early as he went up two breaks over Cornea of MTSU, 4-0. The freshman defeated Cornea in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, to win his fourth consecutive dual match to start his Duke career.
"I feed off the crowd for energy," Redlicki said of his start to the dual season. "My energy levels reach new levels and that is something that is huge for me. So far I have been playing really well from this energy I get from our crowd. I am enjoying dual season and everything it has to offer."
In the No. 6 position in the lineup, Tahir defeated Fox, 6-3, 6-4, while Saba clinched the match for Duke moments later from the No. 2 spot in the lineup with a 6-3, 6-4, win over Lang. In the No. 1 position, the only matchup where both players were ranked, No. 11 Cunha earned an early break in the first game of the day over No. 101 Davis and went on to win the match 6-2, 6-3.
In the final match at the No. 4 position, Mengel trailed by a break at 0-3 before coming from behind and winning the set in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (4). In the third set tiebreak, Mengel cruised past Born to prevail in the match, 5-7, 7-6 (4), 1-0 (5), to keep the Blue Devils' undefeated streak alive.

SPEED Promises "RaceDay" Surprise
Things are always just a little bit different on All-Star weekend and this one has proven to be no exception. Saturday will feature another roll-out of NASCAR TV programming in a "block" by SPEED almost all day long.
This effort is designed to lead-up to a three hour edition of the popular RaceDay program and then transition to the All-Star festivities themselves. Since SPEED does not have any Sprint Cup Series points races, this is going to be as close as the network comes to the big time on the track this season.
Off the oval, SPEED has continued to partner with the NASCAR Media Group and dominate the weekend TV programming where racing is concerned. It will be NASCAR Live at Noon Eastern Time that kicks-off the original programming on Saturday. John Roberts will be on-hand to host with Hermie Sadler and Randy Pemberton reporting.
That show will transition into a re-air of the Pit Crew Challenge originally seen on Thursday night. SPEED had some glitches originally, but this re-air should be all cleaned-up if fans want to record a good version of this special to keep.
Speaking of recording, Tradin' Paint at 2:30PM will feature a re-match of one of the oddest couples ever seen on TV. John Roberts will be trying to keep the peace between Kyle Petty and veteran writer Bob Pockrass of NASCAR Scene and scenedaily.com. Put this one on the DVR or the VCR.
These two have combined for some of the most interesting and hilarious editions of this show since the concept first started some years ago. Oil-and-water does not do the dynamic of these two justice. Pockrass will not back down from his views on the sport, which in the past have resulted in Petty blowing his stack in spectacular fashion. It should be interesting to see which topics the Producer picks to discuss.
Larry McReynolds has quietly turned NASCAR Performance into a dynamo of a show. Next up at 3PM, this program features Chad Knaus and Bootie Barker delving into all kinds of racing subjects and offering all types of topical discussions from a crew chief's perspective. Even for a mechanical novice like myself, this program has moved to the "must see" list.
NASCAR In A Hurry is an interesting little TV series hosted by Adam Alexander. The thirty minute show which airs at 3:30PM uses footage of SPEED programs both on and off the track to offer a short "wrap-up" of things at Charlotte so far. The trick is, they only use footage from the previous 48 hours. They pack all the "happenings" together and show them...in a hurry.
The "franchise" steps-out of the shadows next as RaceDay offers a "three hour tour" of all things All-Star that leads directly into the event. John Roberts hosts, with Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace alongside. Wendy Venturini provides the news and several features. Hermie Sadler offers the track description and is also a reporter on the show. Rutledge Wood continues as the "comic relief."
This program is said to contain a big surprise guest this week. SPEED is not letting anything slip, but since the show is live there might be some fun moments where this "guest" is concerned. As viewers might expect, Wendy Venturini will finally sit-down with Dale Jarrett and get his take on this final night at-speed in a sport that has dominated his life.
Live guests include Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. This week, the Speedway has added a new wrinkle for All-Star day. The Pennzoil Platinum Victory Challenge is the official name for the new burnout contest.
While many fans have seen this type of event at motorcycle rallies and even local short tracks, this one is going to be new. It will be the "big boys" from NASCAR on Fox that will step-in and handle the commentary for this special event. Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip will do their best to see through the smoke and offer their expert analysis.
RaceDay will also dip into the NASCAR Media Group archives, and offer some brief flashbacks on the past All-Star races that have certainly featured some memorable moments. It should be fun to hear the comments from Spencer and Wallace on these sometimes controversial moments in time.
RaceDay will transition directly into the All-Star race programming at 7PM. The NASCAR on Fox crew will again call the action. This post will serve to host your comments during the pre-race programming, and a new post will be added at 6PM for the All-Star race.

so, i'm looking at the all star logo and wondering: what is the fascination in sports with using roman numerals for their "premier" events? is there a belief that it lends gravitas to the event? does it make the "special" event even more special? and how many people can even read roman numerals any more? i mean, there are kids who are only comfortable with a digital watch! what happens when the event gets up into the 50 and 60 year range? how many of us will still be able to read THOSE roman numerals?
yet another thing that makes me go "hmmmm."

I cannot understand why SPEED doesnt stand up and produce the race themselves, with their trucks group of announcers?
The Fox dolts will just make this "one more Fox race" instead of allowing it to be differetiated from all of the other over-hyped excuses they pass off as race coverage. What a sham. Fox sports arrogance and entitlement even extends within the company
Maybe someday David Hill will realize DW's last name is Waltrip and not Wallace

If it says "Cup" anywhere on it, you can bet the Fox guys will be there. That is the franchise.

What happened to "Nascar Live"? We went right from "Wind Tunnel" to the pit crew challenge.
What gives? Is that the "surprise"? :-)

The Pit Crew Challenge ran over the other night and therefore Speed decided to keep it and move it up into the spot where NASSCAR Live! was.

Does anyone know anything about DW appearing on Nascar Performance??? He and Larry Mac were talking about it during the Cup practice, but I wasn't sure if they were joking or not.

You are correct, CUP is Fox franchise. I submit this is not Cup per se.
Its a non points all star race with different rules and different format.
I'm surprised you don't agree
- May 17, 2008 at 2:21 PM

Anon 2:21PM,
I absolutely am open to SPEED "branding" this a bit more as their own. The NASCAR on Fox announcers appear on SPEED almost every weekend during the Fox portion of the Cup schedule.
Since SPEED is owned by the Fox Cable Networks group, I do not see anything changing soon. I thought maybe Steve Byrnes of Krista in the Hollywood Hotel, but that did not happen.

Sorry, but since it was shown today I have a quick thought on the pit crew challenge....I thought the crowd, announcer,
band and dancers were all great. It made you feel like you were at a LIVE event. Do the networks produce some events to "feel" more as being at a live event vs watching a "canned" live event on your couch.

Ok quick question - how can Kenny Wallace, a St. Louis native and a Cardinals fan, wear a cubs hat?
Other than that - pretty cool opening!

JD, it could get worse, KB still has to go out. And since JJ broke all the rules and got a 20 second penalty. What do we have to lose as long as it is a good show win or lose. Even though that was not the intent of the event. You are right.

I find it interesting that the "vanilla" driver is the one who went out intending to break all the rules and just have fun. That's the guy who surfed the golf cart.

Yes, NRF, was that good or what. I enjoyed the burnout competition, rules or not. Nice TV coverage I thought.

Okay, what was the "surprise"? I didn't see Raceday except for the burnout "competition".
I was skeptical when I read about this latest "Humpy Hype", but I thought it worked, probably because most of the drivers made their own rules as they went.

I thought the opening of RaceDay was hysterical. I mean, buttoned up John Roberts with a gold grill and dancin to rap music? Go against type just a little bit? I didn't get the whole Hello Kitty coloring book by Kenny, but it was funny. Spenser in drag? I'm not so sure about that one, but it had me laughing. I did wonder why Wendy wasn't really included in the caricatures.
Loved the Dale Jarrett interview. Wendy has a knack for doing great stuff like that.
JD, could you possibly find something out for us? When the Trackside guys have on a driver as a guest, they are asked to autograph something. What do they do with those items? I don't think I've ever heard any of them comment on what's done. I've seen them sign collector cars, helmets and other things. I'm wondering if they auction them off for charity, or whatever.

did not see anybody mention this...maybe I am one of the few who watches but
I did NOT ENJOY N Performance this week. Larry mac spent the whole show interview KB Crew Chief??????????? While Chad and bootie sat quiet and frankly, useless.
I hope they are NOT ruining this show by turning it into 'trackside light'.
The whole POINT of the show is to ENJOY the tech info from Chad and Bootie who do an outstanding job.
Major disappointment on this show if it is going to be like this from now on. Until yesterday, this had become MUST SEE TV...after the ALL Star version, it will become MUST MISS TV.
And I skipped the race. I was thrilled to hear a certain engine blew and KK won.
I enjoyed my music night out and realized I missed little after all the hype.
oh, I did watch RDay but found the opening odd..amusing but not hilarious...I got the music and it being the A team and all but guess I missed the POINT of the running bit.
- May 18, 2008 at 6:40 PM

P.S. while watching RDay AGAIN their logos ran way off the right side of my screen when they showed the years or previous All star races.
They really need to get somebody to pay attention to that BASIC ELEMENT. no other station does this.

Sophia, I totally agree with you about Nascar Performance. I Tivo the show and I totally tuned it out when they did nothing but interview Shrubbie's crew chief. What are they doing, planning on getting rid of Bootie or Chad and auditioning a new guy? I just couldn't see the reason for changing the format for what is a successful show.
- May 18, 2008 at 8:01 PM

Thanks for you comment!! I totally have become hooked on this show and was totally blown away by the CHANGE in format?
If it was a one time deal, Larry Mac should have clearly stated they were dismissing the usual format...but still...it left a bad taste of disappointment in my mouth.
Pretty soon, all the talk shows on SPEED will be the same thing :( :(

Please dont post the winners of the race except in that race's specific blogs. I always TiVo the races and read The Daly Planet for each show while I'm catching up with the TV. Imagine my disappointment when I'm reading and watching Raceday and someone spoils the outcome of the All-Star race before I even start watching it!! I know its my fault for being behind, but still...

Larry Mac DID explain the change on Nascar Performance--he said that they rarely have a chance to interview a 'hot' team's crew chief live on the show, so they took advantage of the opportunity. Personally, I loathe Kyle Busch, but I don't hold that against Steve Addington and I found what he had to say pretty interesting. I didn't know much about his history and they did talk about technical elements of the racing. It's one show, geez!
I missed the opening of Raceday (but I can assure you I'd have recognized the music...) The Ric Flair thing was funny if only for the shock on Kenny's face, but I wouldn't have had a clue who he was. TP was funny as well, with them getting into it about possible ideas for the All Star race (ironically, a caller on Wind Tunnel had the same thought about voting someone OFF.) Speaking of which, WT was pretty good too.

At District Tournament semi-finals
The North Callaway Thunderbirds lost 7-1 to Wright City in the semi-finals of the District Tournament Monday. North Callaway scored its only run in the fourth inning.
Chance Kee was 1-3 with a double and a sacrifice fly. He was driven home by his brother Jake Kee with a sacrifice fly; and Vance Allen was 2-2 with a sacrifice.
Paul Zerr (4-3) was the losing pitcher, allowing 5 runs, 5 hits, 2 strikeouts and no walks. Tyler Tuepker was the winning pitcher.
A highlight of the game came when senior Justin Murphy came in to pitch in the 6th inning, striking out three, making a total of 105 strikeouts in 64 innings this season. He broke the school record held by Collin Brinker who struck out 102 last year.
The Hallsville Indians defeated Centralia Panthers in the other semi-final Monday by a score of 2-0. The Indians scored their 2 runs in the seventh inning. Up to that point they did not have a hit.
Wright City and Hallsville will play for the championship Wednesday at 6 p.m. at North Callaway.

Area superintendents say a new study examining school district per-pupil spending in Ohio shows that students in the Tuscarawas Valley region are getting a high-quality education at a low cost to taxpayers.
Area superintendents say a new study examining school district per-pupil spending in Ohio shows that students in the Tuscarawas Valley region are getting a high-quality education at a low cost to taxpayers.
The study, "Apples to Apples: Ohio School District Expenditures Per Equivalent Pupil," was released Tuesday. The Ohio School Boards Association, the Buckeye Association of School Administrators and the Ohio Association of School Business Officials commissioned the study through the Education Tax Policy Institute.
"As superintendent of Indian Valley Schools, I believe our community would be happy to learn that we're among the most financially efficient school districts in the state, and when comparing us to similar rural school districts, we rated as among the most efficient as well," Ira Wentworth, superintendent of Indian Valley Local Schools, said in reaction to the report.
Indian Valley was ranked 553rd out of the 605 districts in the study.
Wentworth added, "All across Tuscarawas County, people can feel good about what our schools are doing, providing a high-quality education at a low cost."
Bob Alsept, superintendent of New Philadelphia City Schools, said he was not surprised by the findings. "We spend less than the average in the county, less than similar districts and less than the state average."
The county average is $7,301 per pupil.
New Philadelphia was ranked 507th in the state.
The Ohio Department of Education collects statistics for all school districts in the state on expenditures per pupil.
The ETPI study notes that there are many reasons why spending varies widely from district to district. Because of this, ODE adjusts for differences in student needs by weighting pupils who are economically disadvantaged, have limited English proficiency and/or need special education services. ODE calls this measure the "Expenditure per Equivalent Pupil."
The ETPI study argues that ODE does not give enough weight for economically disadvantaged students. So its analysis produced a chart showing school district per-pupil expenditures with an added weight.
Using the ETPI figures, per-pupil spending in the Tuscarawas County ranges from a high of $8,236 at Garaway Local Schools in Sugarcreek to a low of $6,367 at Newcomerstown Exempted Village Schools.
The percentage of economically disadvantaged students corresponds with the spending per pupil. Garaway has the lowest number of disadvantaged students in the county at 32.5 percent. Newcomerstown has the highest at 69.61 percent.
The numbers vary widely throughout the state as well.
According to the ETPI numbers, the Orange City School District in Cuyahoga County spends the most per pupil at $18,107 (nearly three times what Newcomerstown spends). Of its students, 15.44 percent are economically disadvantaged.
Hardin Local School District in Hardin County, where 89.3 percent of its students are economically disadvantaged, is ranked 605th. It spends $5,409 per pupil.
"Another thing that comes out of the report is it's clear how school funding in Ohio is still not equitable since the DeRolph ruling in the late 1990s," Wentworth said, referring to the case in which the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state's school funding formula was unconstitutional.
Using the unadjusted per-pupil spending numbers, Wentworth said, "To have a range of per-pupil spending at $21,000 at the high end to $7,200 at the low end is unjust."
Indian Valley voters approved a bond issue in 2005 for new buildings, but the district has received no new operating dollars since 1992.
"I believe our community would be happy with how we've been good stewards and stretched every dollar as far as we can," Wentworth said.

Match 1: Duke vs. Liberty

The Flames compiled eight team blocks, but Duke was able to hold Liberty (1-7) to a .117 hitting percentage. Lillie Happel led the Flames with six kills, while Becca Haraf and Allie Reynolds had a team-high seven digs each.
Match 2: Duke vs. Utah State

Three Blue Devils – senior Chelsea Cook, junior Jeme Obeime and freshman Jordan Tucker – reached double-digit kills totals. Cook led the way with 11, hitting .429 while also chipping in five blocks. Tucker match a career-high with 10 kills while Obeime also added 10. Obeime was stellar for the Blue Devils in both contests, totaled a team-high 23 kills on .550 hitting on the day.
Duke pulled out a tight opening set against and ultimately pulled away in the second and third sets. The Blue Devils were dominant in the final stanza, outhitting the Aggies .455 to .032 to clinch the three-set victory.

Pinch-Hit Homer Dooms Huskers
Fullerton, Calif. - The Nebraska baseball team (0-2, 0-0 Big Ten) took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning against the No. 22 Cal State Fullerton Titans on Saturday afternoon at Goodwin Field, but a two-run pinch-hit homer from Anthony Hutting in the bottom of the seventh propelled the Titans to a 10-5 win.
Chad Christensen produced three hits, including a triple, for the second straight game and drove in a pair of runs for the Huskers.
NU starter Ryan Hander gave the Huskers 5.1 innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks, while striking out one. Grahamm Wiest was tough on the Huskers with seven strikeouts over seven innings, but the Huskers did tag the Fullerton righty for three runs, all earned, on eight hits over 6.0 innings.
Hander cruised through the first and started the second with a pop out, but hit Michael Lorenzen, who then stole second to get in scoring position with one out. Hander was in position to get out of the inning without any damage with runners on first and third following a two-out walk to Matt Orloff and No. 9 hitter Jared Deacon up, but the Titans' catcher produced a two-out single to plate the game's first run. Leadoff hitter Richy Pedroza followed with an RBI-single to give Fullerton a 2-0 lead, before Hander put an end to the threat when he got Carlos Lopez to groundout.
Hander responded in the bottom of the third with a 1-2-3 inning and the Husker offense broke through in the top of the fourth to get on the board. After being held hitless through the first three innings, Rich Sanguinetti lead off with a triple to right field and scored on a base hit from Christensen. Wiest settled back in an retired three straight Huskers to end the top of the fourth.
Fullerton got the run back right away in the bottom of the fourth with a leadoff homerun off the bat of Lorenzen. The Titans got a base runner when Orloff reached on a one-out HBP, but he was erased trying to steal second on NU catcher Tanner Lubach. Hander retired Deacon to end the fourth with no other damage done.
The bottom of the Husker order put pressure on Wiest with a pair of one-out singles from Lubach and Jake Placzek, but the righty responded with consecutive strikeouts to end the NU threat.
Following a shutout by Hander in the bottom of the fifth, NU's offense cashed in two runs off of four hits in the top of the sixth to even the game at 3-3. Christensen and Pat Kelly started the sixth with consecutive singles, but Christensen was thrown out at third on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Blake Headley. Josh Scheffert stepped to the plate and executed a full-count hit-and-run and score Kelly and move Headley to third. The NU offense kept the pressure up with perfectly placed bunt from Austin Darby down the first-base line that not only scored Headley to tie the game, but Darby also reached on the play. NU kept the heat on with a successful double steal to put runners on second and third with one out, but Wiest retired Lubach and Placzek in order to end the inning.
The Titans retook the lead in the bottom of the sixth when Lorenzen came around to score following an error on Placzek at short. Hander then walked Clay Williamson to put runners on first and second, which forced Head Coach Darin Erstad to bring in Michael Hoppes for his Husker debut. The Scottsbluff, Neb., native retired Orloff for out No. 2, but then gave up a two-out single to Deacon that scored Lorenzen, giving Fullerton the lead again, 4-3. Hoppes dug in and got Pedroza to fly out to end the inning.
Fullerton Head Coach Rick Vanderhook brought in Kyle Murray to start the seventh and Kash Kalkowski welcomed him with a double. Following a strikeout, Christensen picked up his third hit of the day with a triple down the leftfield line to again tie the game, 4-4. Kelly kept the runs coming with a single that drove in Christensen to give the Huskers their first lead of the day, 5-4. Vanderhook then went to Yutan, Neb., native Tyler Peitzmeier, who gave up an infield single to Headley, but was thrown out at second when Headley tried to take an extra base when the ball got away from Lopez at first base. Peitzmeier got Scheffert to fly out to end the inning.
Hoppes retired the first Titan he faced in the bottom of the seventh, but then gave up four straight hits, including Hutting's pinch-hit two-run homerun. The Titans added three insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth off NU reliever Tyler King to take a 10-5 lead into the ninth inning.
Game two of today's double header is scheduled for 8 p.m. (CT).

Big Red is Going Green
Big Red is going green! The University of Nebraska Athletic Department has increased recycling efforts and continues to take great pride in improving efficiency efforts on the University's campus and at all athletic events. Anyone can help simply by putting recyclables in the green bags.
The Go Green for Big Red 2012 effort had 31 volunteers contribute around 70 hours of volunteer hours to help us save more than 1200 lbs of recyclables from entering the landfill. Go Green for Big Red is an ongoing effort, and we ask everyone to do their part. On game days, simply look for the green bags. Whether you're tailgating around Memorial Stadium or enjoying the game inside Memorial Stadium, please place all recyclables in the green bags that can be found throughout the stadium.
In terms of an Athletic Department's commitment to recycling and sustainability, Nebraska is once again becoming a leader. Most recently, Nebraska was second in the Big Ten in the Game Day Recycling Challenge, recycling 4,000 lbs at one game. Nebraska Athletics, along with Recycling Enterprises and Pepsi, has steadily increased recycling efforts since the start of our partnership in 2009. Each football season, nearly 20,000 pounds of plastic is recycled. We will have a new program going into effect in the fall of 2012 that will increase our diversion rate to 95 percent. Next year, with the new recycling program in effect, Nebraska will be able to average 5,700 pounds per game of recyclables, which is 40,000 lbs of material that will be recycled during football seasons at Memorial Stadium. Sustainability and recycling programs are certainly not new to athletics, but Nebraska commitment to continue to be greener is a leading force in college athletics. By obtaining a mixed solid waste permit from the NDEQ (Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality), Recycling Enterprises will be able to sort recyclable materials from the waste in order to recycle as much as possible.
The Nebraska Athletic Department has improved its recycling efforts across campus. Athletic staff members have access to recycling bins on all floors of Memorial Stadium. Memorial Stadium now features an increased number of recycling containers at all events. Nebraska has also increased its post game recycling efforts at Memorial Stadium, as a staff is in place that is strictly dedicated to Memorial Stadium post-event cleanup. The recycling efforts at Memorial Stadium are co-sponsored by UNL Athletics, Pepsi and Recycling Enterprises of Nebraska. Also, on football game days at Memorial Stadium, every balloon released in Memorial Stadium is 100 percent natural latex biodegradable, as purchased from Midwest Balloon in Omaha. In addition, we do not use plastic tabs to tie off the balloons. We will continue to use only latex biodegradable balloons. In addition, we will monitor the effects, if any, of our time-honored tradition.
Increased recycling containers can also be found at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska has even made effort to improve efficiency in their concessions operations. The University has transitioned to recyclable serving ware, cups and napkins. Nebraska has also repurposed almost $500,000 in furniture instead of throwing it away. Again, it's easy to do your part. If you're on the UNL campus or attending an athletic event, just throw your recyclables in the green bags.
Fans are encouraged to contact Maggi Thorne, Assistant Director of Capital Planning and Construction, with any questions at 402-472-1000 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please read below to learn more about recycling efforts at Nebraska's different athletic venues.

Early snowpack surveys promise ample summer water supplies across most of Colorado.
According to a report released Thursday by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, statewide snowpack levels stand at 110 percent of average and 113 percent of last year's Jan. 1 measurements. With snowmelt accounting for as much as 80 percent of the state's surface water, adequate snowpack is essential.

At 16, we're not inclined to entertain the thought that, just maybe, the oppressive and regimented adults in our life are actually right about a few things. That the self-absorbed brooding at which we excel so greatly can actually claim a few victims. These are the sorts of things that we learn later in life, which is why movies about teenagers (ostensibly written by adults) often come with that bump of self-awareness about the cantankerous habits upheld throughout the high school era. The Way, Way Back seems to set up for this sort of revelation — introducing Duncan (Liam James) as an unconfident, socially inept, family-loathing teen who has got to learn a few lessons about not only accepting himself, which he eventually does, but about accepting those around him... which he doesn't.
Forgoing its coming-of-age identity, The Way, Way Back seems to stunt Duncan's development just past the boost in self-esteem. After being carted off to spend the summer with his mother (Toni Collette), her douche of a boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell), and his judgmental daughter (Zoe Levin), Duncan stumbles upon a world unlike any he's ever known: the Water Wizz water park, "run" by golden hearted goofball Owen (Sam Rockwell). After continuing to alienate himself from his well-meaning mother and the thick-headed Trent, Duncan seems to find himself earning the affection of people like Owen, the rest of the water park's fun-loving staff, and the diamond-in-the-rough neighbor girl Susanna (AnnaSophia Robb).
But we never quite understand where the interest stems from. Socially awkward and standoffish, Duncan makes no real effort to connect with any of these characters, shunning all attempts at consideration offered by his mother. Offered the contrast of Levin's Steph, we understand that we're supposed to think of Duncan as kind, sensitive, and "deeper" than the rest. But... he's not. He's shy. Not a particularly bad guy. But he's not a particularly good guy, either.
And he never really learns to be. The film never asks Duncan to step up to the plate, open his mind to the pains his mother might be suffering in regards to his distance and her boyfriend's mistreatment of her. There's not a single act that Duncan performs in the movie that isn't self-driven. Aside from learning to laugh a little bit louder, the character barely changes at all from beginning to end.
But his journey, while perhaps not emotionally successful, is a lot of fun. All scenes that pair Duncan with Owen — hell, all scenes with Owen at all — are remarkably enticing, acting as a catalyst to the viewer's own fantasies about escaping our realities and diving into a carefree, mystical water park universe. The comically obsessed Owen's little world involves gags, games, parties, and a romance with a cold shouldered Maya Rudolph, who is even a delight as the straight man character. Writers/directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash offer a good deal of fun as one-note park employees — a sexually charged man child and a miserable park fixture with dreams of starting his life anew, respectively.
In fact, we experience everything Duncan does. We revel in the fun offered by Owen and his gang. We are oddly stimulated by the supercharged douchebaggery offered by Carell (fantastic in this bad guy role). But we don't really learn anything, just as he doesn't, which is the film's only fatal flaw. In order for these summertime follies to have any value, they must offer their hero something. Sure, he has a good time, figures out how to relax a bit, and maybe even snags a few points in the self-esteem department. But by the end of The Way, Way Back, Duncan is no more a man, no better a person, than he is at the start. And for a coming-of-age story, that's a pretty big problem.

They insist we don't need another committee to investigate the attack—but they're really afraid of the incompetence the truth will reveal.
I read with interest my Daily Beast colleague Michael Tomasky's column Wednesday, in which he asserted that the establishment of a Special Select Committee to investigate Benghazi is nothing more than bulls**t. Putting aside that disrespectful characterization of a search for truth and accountability for an attack in which four Americans lost their lives, I'm troubled by the motivation of many on the left, who have sought to demonize anyone who questions the narrative the Obama administration has spun for nearly two years.
I concur with our colleague Kirsten Powers, who writes that the glib, evasive, and arrogant posture of the White House and the president's supporters has brought about the present Benghazi inquiry. The American people were told repeatedly in the days and weeks following the attack that it was the result of an offensive video' an assessment the president and secretary of state surely knew within hours was far from the truth.
Rather than level with the American people and admit what senior administration officials knew—as well as taking steps to protect our diplomatic assets abroad—the Obama administration stuck with the line that GM was alive, Osama bin Laden was dead, and al Qaeda was on the run. It was hard to square that circle when the Libyan prime minister and our deputy chief of mission in Libya immediately asserted that Benghazi was a preplanned terrorist attack.
Returning to Tomasky's piece, I was incredulous at his view of the Benghazi attacks and the prism through which he sees the world. First he tells us:
"Benghazi is and has been for some time a witch hunt that perverts all notions of democratic accountability and that obviously carries one purpose and one purpose only—the humiliation or worse of as many Democrats as possible, preferably the big cheeses (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton)."
Let's start with the notion that this is a witch hunt with the sole purpose of humiliating as many Democrats as possible.
Ambassador Chris Stevens was a political appointee of President Obama and worked under the immediate supervision of Secretary State Hillary Clinton. Democrats, both. Neither Obama nor Clinton have explained why their political appointee's requests to get security in Benghazi increased were denied. The American people deserve to know the truth. That is hardly a partisan question, but it could expose incompetence once the real answers are uncovered.
Next Tomasky tells us that the Benghazi attack has been probed with two Senate reports and eight House reports. Case closed, right? What he doesn't tell us is that Secretary of State Clinton has not been interviewed directly under oath. He mentions the investigation chaired by Admiral Mike Mullen and Thomas Pickering but fails to note that the secretary did not make herself available for questioning. Surely one cannot have a comprehensive review of the actions and activities undertaken by the State Department when the secretary is not part of the review process. For that matter, isn't it odd that none of the personnel from the diplomatic compound in Benghazi have been interviewed on the record? What was their experience that evening, and did they witness a protest sparked by a video? A Select Committee on Benghazi will certainly provide these answers.
Tomasky tells us that Susan Rice, then U.N. ambassador to the United Nations, merely told the American people what the CIA told her to say about Benghazi. I'm sorry to say that's not true. The truth, sadly, is that the Obama White House misled the American people when it redacted a lawfully subpoenaed document that was disclosed only after a lawsuit by Judicial Watch. In that document, White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes pushed the notion that the attack was triggered by a spontaneous demonstration, not a breakdown in policy. The first three goals in the document, which was withheld from Congress, were:
"To convey that the United States is doing everything we can to protect our people and our facilities abroad;
"To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy;
"To show we will be resolute in bringing people who harm Americans to justice, and standing steadfast during these protests."
Perhaps Tomasky can tell us how the United States has done everything to protect our people and our facilities abroad when our own State Department denied the ambassador's requests for additional security. Perhaps he can show us how the protests were rooted in an Internet video, a claim our intelligence services and military officials immediately knew to be false. Or perhaps he can explain how the Obama administration has brought "people who harm Americans to justice" when The New York Times was able to interview a terrorist ringleader about the attack as he sipped a strawberry frappe barely a month after the attack. The grand total of those apprehended or held responsible to date has been zero.

Cheer Squad and Scarlets Dance Teams Announced
The University of Nebraska Sprit Squad is proud to announce the 2013-2014 Cheer Squad and Scarlets Dance Team. The squads were selected on Sunday, April 14 and Sunday, April 21, in two days of intense auditions.
Nearly 100 prospective cheerleaders were evaluated on their cheer skills, positive spirit and ability to motivate a crowd. The dance team audition process included performing various styles of dance including jazz, pom and hip hop executing advanced technical skills as well as the Nebraska fight song.
Finalists in both groups also completed a timed two-mile run and an interview with a judging panel made up of five individuals chosen for their expertise in cheer, dance and leadership. Not only did the candidates prove themselves with their cheerleading and dancing ability, but they also impressed the judging panels with their enthusiasm and determination to be a part of the Husker game day experience.
This year's Cheer Squad consists of 20 members and the Scarlets Dance Team consists of 15 members. Between both squads, fans will see 22 veterans and 13 fresh faces on the sidelines this year. The teams are honored and excited to be a part of Husker Nation and look forward to the upcoming season.
