Merging Spirituality and Clinical Psychology at Columbia
By SHARON OTTERMAN
Published: August 10, 2012
The psychology graduate student ran a wooden stick across the edge of a Tibetan Buddhist singing bowl on Tuesday and asked the five homeless young men sitting in front of him to listen to the undulating sound, and to raise their hands when they could no longer hear it. One by one hands went up, until well after the sound had seemed to dissipate.Then the student asked the men to take long breaths and to visualize themselves not in their current circumstances -- living in transitional housing near the Lincoln Tunnel -- but as their ''best selves.'' With eyes closed, the young men pictured those best selves loving their present selves. Then they visualized sending that love across the room, first to one of the other men, then to all of them.
After 15 minutes, they opened their eyes. They were still in a fluorescent-lighted conference room at Covenant House with a few plants, a coffee machine and a microwave. But their faces were relaxed. Over the course of 16 weeks of group therapy and meditation, a bond had formed among them, the young men said, one that they said filled them with a sense of possibility.
''It's just like a balled fist,'' said Roger Elliott, a Covenant House resident and an aspiring actor who asked that his stage name be used to protect his privacy. ''If your fist is balled, there's nothing going in and nothing going out. And what this has done for me is open my balled fist.''
The therapy sessions were part of a new effort by Columbia University's clinical psychology program to experiment with integrating psychotherapy and spirituality in ways seldom seen at a major research university.
Mainstream psychology programs traditionally exist in the realm of academic language and empirical fact, keeping the supernatural at arm's length. But in January, Columbia began a spirituality concentration in its clinical psychology master's program, and last month, the university created a broader program, the Spirituality and Mind-Body Institute, to conduct research and host colloquia.
There were already institutes around the country -- like the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and Sofia University, until last month known as the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, in Palo Alto, Calif. -- teaching from similar perspectives, as well as faith-based universities that teach psychology in particular religious contexts. But Columbia is the first Ivy League university to develop a master's concentration in spiritual psychology.
''It's a very significant step, because outside of the faith-based training programs, these training programs related to religion and spirituality have been few and far between,'' said Julie Exline, the president of a division of the American Psychological Association focused on the subject. ''It helps to make the topic seem more mainstream and less fringy.''
At the same time, this kind of psychology has critics. ''From my perspective, psychology must remain neutral,'' said David Wulff, a past president of the same division of the association. ''With the assumption that we are inherently spiritual beings, I worry that therapists who come out of such a program are going to be approaching their clients with this expectation that they have to contact their spirituality, and I don't know where that is going to leave some clients.''
Applications to Columbia's clinical psychology program, which is based in Teachers College, have risen, and there will be 186 master's students this fall, up from 108 last year. About one-third of the master's students will pursue the concentration.
Lisa J. Miller, the professor who leads the concentration, said she was training ''spiritual psychologists,'' who put nonmaterial concepts like love and connection at the core of their efforts to heal.
''If you tell me you know something in your gut, I say that's hard data,'' said Dr. Miller, who co-hosted a cable television series on psychic children in 2008. Science, like intuition, she said, is ''another arrow in our quiver.''
She encourages her students to find their own directions in research and healing based on their insights and quests. Biagio Mastropieri and Lorne Schussel, the Ph.D. students who led Tuesday's meditation session at Covenant House on West 41st Street, said they were influenced by time they had spent in the Utah desert with Dr. Gary Weaver, using positive visualization and wilderness experiences like camping to treat troubled adolescents.
The Covenant House sessions consisted of about an hour of discussion about goals, relationships and obstacles, book-ended by 15-minute meditations. Though Mr. Schussel sounded a Buddhist bowl, the word Buddhism was not mentioned.
''It's not like we came here to do Bible study,'' Mr. Elliott, 21, said. But he said the sessions seemed to increase his own, Christian, spirituality. A prayer is your soul pouring out, he said, which is something he became more able to do.
Some of the men said they had seen greater success at work and in their relationships as a result of the sessions.
But basing psychotherapy around spiritual concepts is a delicate matter. Whose spirituality? What tenets? For Dr. Miller and like-minded thinkers, the answer lies in moral and intellectual principles and practices that they argue are healing and universal.
They say their teaching is rooted in, among other things, Buddhist meditation and philosophy, the work of Carl Jung, ''ancient-Judeo-Christian traditions'' and insights drawn from quantum physics.
''This takes it beyond simply the analytics of physics and says that love is in the fabric of the universe,'' Dr. Miller said, sounding more Deepak Chopra than Freud. ''We can grow healthy and move past suffering if we don't simply look at ourselves as isolated but look at ourselves as part of the greater consciousness of love.''
Through the new institute, she recently won a private grant of $2.5 million to study depression and other disorders in late adolescence, problems that she hypothesizes are spiritual in nature and can be treated with spiritual therapies.
''We are infinite and evolving and sacred,'' she said, and though her words might not sound academic, academia, she said, ''has been remarkably open to this language.''

It all started because James Irvine wanted to save the trees.
James Harvey Irvine, also known as J.I., was an avid outdoorsman who loved the wide open spaces of his ranch.
One of his favorite spots was a grove of old live oak trees at the mouth of Santiago Canyon.
When Irvine's father bought the land in 1864, the grove already was a popular recreational destination with members of the Anaheim Colony, who called the shady retreat The Picnic Grounds.
The 1872 Fourth of July celebration was attended by more than 500 residents who gathered for a reading of the Declaration of Independence and a luncheon under the trees.
The popularity of The Picnic Grounds caused Irvine to worry that the ancient trees would become fuel for a campfire, so he decided to take action.
In 1897, he gave what was described as a "gift munificent," setting aside 160 acres of oak grove to the County of Orange. On Oct. 5, the county treasury paid $1 to Irvine, and the Orange County Park was born.
Irvine had a few requirements for the new park. He insisted that a full-time caretaker be hired. He made sure that a fence be built to protect the trees. He also requested that the park remain open to the public free of charge.
A teetotaler, Irvine also insisted that there be no liquor sales within the park. The first summer after the park opened, the German colonists of Anaheim showed up for their annual picnic with a wagonload of beer. The party was almost canceled until bartenders figured out a way around the rule and began giving away the beer for free.
On June 1, 1926, Orange County supervisors passed a resolution changing the name to Irvine Regional Park, the first regional park in California.
Visitors to Irvine Regional Park still enjoy the natural setting that James Irvine loved. An 8-foot bronze statue of Irvine stands guard near the ancient oaks he sought to protect more than 100 years ago.
Ellen Bell lives in Irvine and is the author of "Irvine: Images of America."

The clip begins with the singer bound to chair with zip ties. He is quickly dispatched by a masked assailant who unceremoniously suffocates him with a plastic bag, symbolically killing his old dreadlocked self, and making way for the new shortly shorn Weeknd.
The new Weeknd then proceeds to destroy the old Weeknd's apartment, and signifiers of his past success (awards, platinum plaques), with a giant neon cross. He then jumps into a hot car and takes a joyride with a cat, who transforms into a panther with glowing eyes. Got all that?
The cut is the title track from The Weeknd's forthcoming studio album which is set to drop on November 25th.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Portland Trail Blazers will kick off their home schedule Saturday night at the Rose Garden against a tough opponent, the defending Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs.
The last time the Trail Blazers opened at home versus the Spurs was back on Oct. 31, 2008, resulting in a 100-99 win for the hosts.
Portland will play three straight and five of the next six in the Rose City and lost its season opener at Phoenix before rebounding with Friday's 113-98 triumph. The Blazers scored 40 points in the second quarter and saw three players score 20-plus points, as LaMarcus Aldridge ended with 25 points and both Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews added 21.
Reigning Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard had 18 points and Matthews grabbed 12 rebounds for the Blazers, who shot 42.7 percent and had only seven turnovers to Denver's five. The Trail Blazers shot .636 (14-22) from beyond the arc and ended their nine-game losing streak in the Rockies.
"I like the way we came out, I liked our demeanor at the defensive end for the entire game," Blazers head coach Terry Stotts said.
Saturday's matchup between the Blazers and Spurs will feature two of the more impressive guards in the NBA in Lillard and Tony Parker. Parker is the obvious veteran of the two and proven winner, and hopes to lead San Antonio to its second 3-0 start. The Spurs were 4-0 last season.
In a 91-85 victory Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers on the road, Parker picked up the scoring slack with Tim Duncan out and posted 24 points with six assists and four rebounds. Parker even hit the tie-breaking bucket with just over two minutes remaining.
Manu Ginobili netted 20 off the bench, Kawhi Leonard had 15 and 11 rebounds and Boris Diaw ended with 14 points.
Tiago Splitter filled in for Duncan (chest) at center and recorded nine points to go along with 14 boards. Duncan was injured in the third quarter of a win against the Memphis Grizzlies and is day-to-day. He traveled with the team to begin a three-game trek against the Lakers, Portland and Denver.
"We didn't do anything different," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said of playing without Duncan. "We just ran what we always run, whether (Duncan) is there or not. If Tony was out or Manu was out, we'd run our same stuff."
Popovich will need his veteran guys again if Duncan is out because the Blazers have enjoyed success in this series lately. The Blazers went 2-1 in last season's series and have won 11 of the last 15 contests.
San Antonio has lost eight of nine visits to the Rose Garden.

OCEAN CITY – Steve Pappas will be joining the ranks of some of the town's leading citizens this week as he becomes this year's recipient of the 10th Spirit of Ocean City Award.
The Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce defines the honor as, "Ocean City's most prestigious business award. The Spirit Award, honors the Ocean City businessperson who has simultaneously operated a reputable and successful business and actively promoted Ocean City, endeavoring to make the community a better one for all concerned."
As this year's recipient, Pappas will join the ranks of fellow businessmen and women who have been honored over the past 10 years. Past winners include Dr. Leonard Berger of the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel, who was the first to receive the award, Bill Ochse of The Kite Loft, Lauren Taylor of the then Santa Maria Motel, Macky Stansell of Macky's Bayside Bar & Grille, Buck Mann of Mann Properties, Hal Glick of then Moore, Warfield & Glick, Jay Knerr of The Kite Loft, Anne Marie Dickerson of The Francis Scott Key Motel and Terry Hough of Home Seal Services, Inc.
The recipient is chosen each year based upon a few criteria. The recipient is required to have worked in Greater Ocean City, the 10th election district, for some part of his or her life and must have operated or is currently operating a reputable and successful business. The recipient must also be someone who demonstrates a commitment and dedication to the promotion of Greater Ocean City and has demonstrated a desire and dedication to the enhancement of the area.
Pappas was among the many businessmen and woman nominated this year. Dean Langrall and Patricia Ilczuk-Lavanceau, with Comcast Spotlight, nominated Pappas.
"Based on his nomination, the committee felt that Steve stood out from the other nominees in terms of his broad and continuous promotion of Ocean City and commitment to the community," said Melanie Pursel, executive director of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce.
As for Pappas, he couldn't be more thrilled.
"It's tremendous, it's truly a great honor," Pappas said. "It's a great award and I am truly honored. … It was a really great surprise."
Pappas is the owner of the Greene Turtle and has been greatly involved in the town. Pappas has spent time on the Board of Zoning Appeals as well as spending five or six years as a Board of Directors member of the Chamber of Commerce.
"My true passion though is youth athletics," Pappas said.
Pappas came to the area when he attended Salisbury University, where he played and later coached lacrosse. Originally from east Baltimore, he spent his youth falling in love with sports and spending as much time as he could on the fields and on the courts. When he moved to Ocean City, he knew he wanted to become involved in helping organized sports grow in the town. Since that time, Pappas has become involved in coaching youth lacrosse and soccer and encouraging Ocean City's youth to become involved in sports. "I try to give back through coaching," he said.
In a time where video games and computers are drawing kids inside and away from sports, and in a town where the beach can often distract kids from wanting to be on the fields or on the courts, Pappas is working to instill the passion for sports and teamwork into the youth.
"We're trying to get kids outside and active," he said.
As a result, Pappas has become heavily involved in the Ocean City Recreation Department.
"The rec department is another big passion of mine," he said. "They do a great job."

At the end of Maple Leafs practice on Wednesday, coach Randy Carlyle took a verbal jab at Nazem Kadri.
It was a playful poke, with Carlyle reminding the Leafs' top scorer that he nailed a post before Kadri did during a friendly drill that finished the workout at the MasterCard Centre.
"I told him he didn't have to be embarrassed that the coach hit it before he did," Carlyle said with a smile.
The back-and-forth illustrated the coach the Leafs have come to know since he took over from the fired Ron Wilson last March. Carlyle is a stern taskmaster, but he's not an insufferable tyrant and he knows when to let up with the players.
Above all else, he has an open-door policy that many have used to their advantage.
With such a young team — at an average of 27.1 years, the Leafs are older than just the Columbus Blue Jackets, who come in at 26.9 years — it's paramount that Carlyle, and the assistant coaches, be accessible. While veteran players might have a better handle on where they stand without being told, it's different for the youngsters, who don't have experience to draw on.
"They have to have the opportunity to voice their opinion," Carlyle said. "But they have to be prepared to hear some things that, if we feel the way we feel, it's not always a one-way street.
"There are some players that, when you come in and shake their hand, they (have) sweating palms. So, there is that intimidation factor. We try to eliminate that. They have to feel free that they can come in and tell me or any member of our coaching staff how they feel."
Defenceman Cody Franson has been a healthy scratch at times, but knowing why has made it easier.
"When Randy first came in last year, he made it clear he was going to be a straight-shooter," Franson said. "It was one of the first things he addressed with us — if there was something you wanted to talk about, the door was open. Right away, that gave guys a comfortable feeling."
With Carlyle, there is no grey. Forget blue and white. It's black and white with the 56-year-old Sudbury native. And when push comes to shove, that's all that the players want.
"One of the worst things about being an athlete is wondering why things happens some times," Franson said. "When you have a guy who is willing to tell you and willing to talk to you about it, it makes your job a lot easier.
"Randy has done a really good job for that. It is better to know, good or bad, why something is happening, rather than go home and try to figure it out, because you can be completely off."
It's all about making the players better prepared to try to win games, something the Leafs have done three times in their first six meetings. They hope the fourth happens on Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre when they play host to Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
With six points in six games, no one has benefitted more with Carlyle than Kadri, who has not been afraid to tell about the differences between Carlyle and Wilson. For Matt Frattin, the straight-ahead approach of Carlyle has been a bonus, even it meant that Frattin had to hear some harsh words when he was cut in camp.
"Nobody wants to be in the dark," Frattin said. "He is open, he knows if you have a question about what role you are supposed to have on the team, he can tell you straight up and be honest about it. It's good to have an honest coach like that."
When Carlyle made a crack at Kadri's expense on Wednesday, the latter took it in stride.
"That is something I have not seen in the past couple of years here," Kadri said. "Not only joking around — any sort of communication. For him to be loose with the guys and be that players' coach everyone wants to be around, makes everyone want to work that much harder for him."

Discussion in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' started by Gaius, Mar 19, 2012.
May I be allowed if I can wrack my brain cell for something teasing?
Now that you mention Mr. Homn, I remember him playing the little gong. But what did O'Brien and Keiko play?
I, Vanyel Ashkevron, Herald Mage, do hereby give my right of asking the next question to Admiral Bear.
May God have mercy on your soul.
O'Brien played cello and Keiko played the oboe.
Thank you.
O'Brien also sang in The Wounded....if that counts.
You're up A.Bear.
If you really wanna go nuts:
Jenna D'Sora played the clarinet (I think)
Jean-Luc/Barash played the trombone.
Nella Darren played piano.
Sisko played the piano.
Odo sang (once).
Worf and Martok sang.
Harry Kim played the clarinet.
The Doctor sang.
OK, first thing that comes to mind. . . .There maybe various different answers to this that I'm not aware of, so if you have something I've not considered, please feel free.
Name something on TNG that due to future Star Trek series, was made factually incorrect in Trek cannon.
Riker and Troi had the authority to chill on the holodeck during a crisis.
Fantastic! Although not quite what I had in mind.
--The occupation of Bajor apparently lasted for differing amounts of time. The pronunciation of "Bajor" and differentiation between "the Bajora" and "the Bajorans" differs by series as well.
--Trill spots vs. nose crinkles.
I thought that was a cat being kicked around by Berman.
O'Brien and Bashir sang in "Explorers" also.
I thought "Barjora" was just Patrick insisting on being Shakespearean actor "posh"?
alright doubleohfive, it's your turn.
Jenna played the flute.
Harry also played a saxophone. I believe it was an alto.
It's been over 24 hours so:
In what episodes has the Enterprise D's warp Core threatening to, threatened with, or actually did explode?
I might have missed some, but here goes
All good things...
True Q
Parallels (If you count the Enterprise that blew up)
Cause & Effect
Yesterday's Enterprise
& of course the Generations movie
Close, but not quiet.
Maybe rephrasing the question will help:
In what episodes has the Enterprise D's warp Core been threatening to, or actually did explode; and was threatened to such extent, that it would explode?
I still don't get it.
I am thinking you mean this wording? In what episodes did the ENT-D's warp core threaten to, get threatened by, or actually did suffer a warp core breach?
Are you expecting "Contagion" to be added, because the ENT-D suffered from the same systems failures that directly caused the core breach on the Yamato?
Separate names with a comma.

Google+ The Next Education Meeting Place
I've been trying to figure out where the next collaboration and meeting place would be for educators. Like the Old West, I've been feeling a bit advertising pushed on Twitter and as for FaceBook the Yogi line about it's too crowded—no one goes there anymore is starting to fit. For a guy who began with AOL chat in it's earliest stages, it seems the options for actual teacher collaboration are pretty much the same—just more people doing it outside the four walls. So, I was a bit leery of Google+, even though I'd been a Google user for a very long time. I had so much else going on, so it seemed to me Google+ would be just another thing to juggle, and heck, was there anything there for me beyond sharing thoughts about music, or video, or the latest TV program?
A few days ago, a friend, Peter Vogel (see Editor's Notes) gave me a small push by way of Twitter. Peter asked, "Are you using Google+?" And I pretty much said that I was studying the idea, but didn't think there'd be anything for me there. I pretty much asked, "Why would I want to be there?"
What follows is our Twitter conversation, so if you haven't tried Google+ you'll see that it's pretty easy to do. If you have a Google login, you're all set, and if you don't, create one. You'll find it here: https://plus.google.com/. And if you know Google, things don't remain constant for long, so something new from them is probably going to happen… soon. Jump in, create some education and education tech circles. Maybe it's the next place for us to gather and share—outside the faculty room, or passing in the hall.
KR: Peter, any problems with Google+ and why would I go there?
PV: No, no problems with G+ whatsoever. The environment is terrific. I suggest it is perfect for someone like you with lots to share.
PV: You are a blogger. G+ is a natural fit for you. I enjoy writing, but somewhere between a tweet and full-on blogging.
PV: Grab an "instant circle" of several hundred educators and you'll find the stream is instantly alive. The threading is superb.
PV: Have you filled out profile and added a photo/avatar?
PV: Have you added that circle? Keep it as a separate circle so you can edit it later. Don't make it "general". These should all be pretty good.
KR: Actually created an Education circle after sticking everyone into a friends one. Dragged 8 there to start. Still figuring this out.
KR: Which is another way of saying that I haven't a clue yet. ;>)
PV: That's OK. Just add my circle. You should see the message from me. Then add that circle. You've already added me so you seeing my traffic.
PV: Make a posting Ken. Anything. About a camera etc. Include a link to see how G+ handles them. Make posting "public."
KR: Cool. Thanks Teach!
KR: Peter. I've posted a comment. You have at least one person in your circle I'd rather not add. What's the work around there?
PV: Right, you just drop them from the circle once you've added it and they are gone.
PV: The list is reasonably well but not perfectly vetted.
PV: Good, you've added the circle. Now for the profile statements and you are good to go.
KR: You're right, this is quite cool, and may be something for sure. Read some feeds.

Hard to believe that the Major League season is already a month old, we take a look back at the month that was and select the top hitter and pitcher on the north side. Players of the Month after the jump.
Bryan LaHair
One of the first decision's Dale Sveum made in Spring Training was to announce that Bryan LaHair would be the starting first baseman, and would occupy a spot in the middle of the order. A lot of Cubs fans were unsure about this, in fact most of them doubted the move and were very vocal about it. Bryan LaHair delivered his own words to those doubters with his bat during April. LaHair didn't just have a good April, he had a great April and that is clear when you compare him to the other first basemen in the Majors. LaHair's .390 average is #1 among all first basemen, his 5 home runs have him tied for first, his 8 doubles are good for 3rd in the league, his 14 RBI's ranks 8th, and his OPS of 1.251 is the best in the league. I would say that was quite the statement month for LaHair, good enough to make him the Cubs hitter of the month.
Bryan LaHair Highlights:
April 9, 2012 – LaHair's Long HR
April 13, 2012 – LaHair's Grand Slam
April 17, 2012 – LaHair's Big RBI Single
April 20, 2012 – LaHair's RBI Single
April 24, 2012 – LaHair's Game Tying Blast
April 25, 2012 – LaHair Goes Deep Again
April 28, 2012 – LaHair's Ringing RBI Double
April 30, 2012 – LaHair's Huge Game Tying HR
Matt Garza
Matt Garza didn't start Opening Day, but he has played the role of staff ace all April. With Ryan Dempster going to the DL, Garza had to step up and anchor the staff, and he has. Opponents only hit .175 against Garza in April, on top of that Garza also had a sparkling 3.6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. All things considered Garza probably deserved better than his 2-1 record as he ran into some tough luck in one of his starts. Garza's April performance only adds to what Theo Epstein is trying to sell to Cubs fans and other teams around the league. Matt Garza is a guy that a team can build a rotation around, and he just might be solidifying his spot at the top of the Cubs rotation for years to come, for now, he's the Cubs pitcher of the month.
Matt Garza Highlights:
April 7, 2012 – Garza Makes a Nice Play
April 12, 2012 – Garza Dominates the Brewers
April 12, 2012 – "The Throw" Sorry, I had to
April 12, 2012 – Garza is Not Happy With Himself
April 23, 2012 – Garza Carves up Cards
April 28, 2012 – Garza's No-Hit Stuff in Philly
Thanks for reading,
– George

I've always been the girl who reads as much as she can, every spare second of the day. I'm the one during homeroom sitting quietly with my nose stuck in the next good book I pick up rather than force conversation with people I'm not close with. these books have always been the more modern books.. Harry Potter, Twilight, Flowers in the Attic.. etc, etc. Reading twilight and having the constant reference to the classics made me go out and buy as many as I could find. I'm starting with Wuthering Heights (as i'm sure you all know why) and from there I'm going to make my way down my veryyyyyyy long list before i'm shipped off to college in the fall.
Also, Stephanie Meyer made the things that made people "uncool" -for a lack of a better word, seem more natural. being as pale as any human (although I'm convinced I'm a vampire) can get, I tend to stand out from the unnaturally orange faces around me. I'm constantly telling my friends that I'm pale because I am a vampire. She's given me a reason to joke about rather than just feel awkward.
Lastly, I've never been more determined to be who I am. Clearly, everyone has flaws but reading these books made me realize that these flaws that we all have is what really sets us apart. I am gracefully, unobservant making me clumsy at times. I tend to fall into the background during groups but when I have something to say people listen because usually it's important and insightful. I can recognize my flaws such as shyness or clumsiness and know that by embracing these and spinning them to be a step up from everyone else makes me a happier person. I'm much more comfortable being who i am due to this spectacular series.

LOS ANGELES, July 31 (UPI) -- British actress Emma Watson shot down rumors claiming she is in talks to play Anastasia in the film adaptation of the sexy best-seller "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Watson, 22, grew up starring in the Harry Potter movie franchise and was recently seen in the Oscar-nominated film "My Week with Marilyn."
Asked about Internet buzz saying she may star in a movie based on "Fifty Shades of Grey," Watson told EW.com: "I haven't read the book, I haven't read a script, nothing.
"There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' -- I never even saw a script," she said, adding some friends and family members asked her about "Grey" after dozens of reports appeared online. "The thing is I'm not going to go out there every time someone attaches me to a film to say no or release a statement."
E.L. James, the author of "Fifty Shades of Grey," has described her erotic novel as a love story with "quite a lot of sex in it."

Wood is for launching and metal for retrieving.
Not necessarily true. GI Metal perforated aluminum peels are for launchin!
Those GI peels are nice. I made my own out of scrap SS from my old gas grill...since I don't own a laser cutter I had to drill the holes.It's not perfect, but it works pretty good.
Thanks for the info. I enjoyed the video. Now to find out where to buy. one of my complaints about using a deck oven is i and delivering to much flour to the oventhis may help reduce
Sonny,As others have noted, it is possible to use a perforated metal peel to load pizzas into an oven. That is commonly done with Neapolitan style pizzas that tend to be on the small size and with light topppings. However, if you are making a much larger pizza, such as a 16" or 18" pizza, or if you are putting a lot of toppings on the pizzas, a metal peel may not be the best choice. I agree that the G.I. Metal perforated/slotted peels offer the advantage of reducing or minimizing the amount of flour on the pizza skins, and the G.I. perforated peels come in large sizes (see http://www.gimetalusa.com/pdf/catalog_USA.pdf), but, to the best of my knowledge those peels are not typically used by pizza operators in the U.S., at least not with respect to pizza types other than Neapolitan style pizzas. When pizza operators have both types of peels, wood and metal, they almost always use the wood peels for loading and the metal peels for retrieving or moving pizzas around in the oven. And usually the metal peels are not perforated/slotted. The above said, I know that some members will step forward and say that they have learned how to master using a perforated/slotted metal peel for loading purposes. But I am not aware of any doing so with pizzas that are on the large size, say, 18" and on a commercial basis. Or where the skin in both large and with a lot of toppings, or where a deck oven is used. Peter
Has anyone tried a wooden peel with holes drilled?jb

Six vagabonds caught illegally riding a freight train last month have been released after serving 38 days in jail.
The six were arrested March 16 by CSX Railroad police when caught in Grovetown aboard a freight train they'd hopped in Atlanta, en route to St. Patrick's Day festivities in Savannah. They didn't post their $1,100 bonds and were held in the Columbia County Detention Center until their court date Tuesday.
William Robert Jackson, 26, of Graham, Wash.; Dennis James Kist, 24, of Okeana, Ohio; Jayson Arthur Willard, 23, of Williamston, Mich.; Megan Rose Tuck, 23, of Fort Worth, Texas; Jo Ann Heilberg, 23, of Florida; and Heather Bermudez, 22, of New Hampshire, were charged with hiding on a train for the purpose of stealing a ride, a misdemeanor. All were listed as homeless.
All pleaded guilty at the Tuesday hearing at the courthouse in Evans except Jackson and Tuck, who entered pleas of no contest. Superior Court Judge James G. Blanchard Jr. sentenced each to the time served in jail since their arrest.
The six were reunited with four dogs that were traveling with them that had been kept at Columbia County Animal Services, Animal Services Manager Linda Glasscock said.
"The reunion between them was wonderful, it really was," she said. "The dogs knew who they were and came running out of the gate and just jumped on them. "
The pets were cared for with several donations from the community, and Glasscock said she's been told to expect a donation from the family of one of the travelers.
When inmates are released and are listed as homeless or otherwise have no local friends, family or accommodations, deputies seek help from the Salvation Army, according to jailers. It is not known whether the train-jumpers received such assistance.
Glasscock said it's her understanding that the travelers stayed at least one night in an Augusta hotel and since have been seen panhandling in Richmond County.
Staff Writer Barry L. Paschal contributed to this report.

Statistically speaking, Dominik Hasek was the best goaltender on the Buffalo Sabres roster in 1992-93 when all was said and done. But he wasn't impressive enough early on to keep the team from feeling the need to acquire former Oiler Grant Fuhr in a blockbuster trade with Toronto. When the 28-year-old Czech phenom stepped in and won the "May Day" game in the playoffs, though, it was the beginning of the end for Fuhr and his wounded knees.

"Electronic Arts released Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13 for the Wii U, but currently we're focusing our resources on Xbox One and PS4, so it's a fact that the priority (of the Wii U) is slightly lower. Howerver making Frostbite 3 work on the Wii U is not impossible. Where there are gamers, we'll be there as well. This is the true meaning of "omnidirectional"
Before they said Frostbite 2 can't run on Wii U but now they're saying Frostbite 3 is "not impossible"? Man EA flip flop worse than Mitt Romney during election month.

Priority "slightly" lower? Doesn't look "slightly" to me. Sounds more like "non-existent" with the way they've treated Nintendo these past number of months. I'm guessing they'll be back if the PS4 and XB1 don't show the promise of high install bases early on, since they are basing their priorities on where the gamers are, and only the Wii U has an actual install base right now.
As for Frostbite 3, it seems the situation is like I imagined it. Frostbite 2 requires heavy processing per core, which probably meant none of the 3 next-gen systems could run it (notice no FB2 games are coming to PS4/XB1?), but FB3 is optimized for such configurations that PS4/XB1 have, and would include Wii U to an extent much more than FB2 could run on that console.

Eh doesn't bother me. I would rather them focus on something instead of Half as**** it on a certain platform.
All platforms(If possible) should have an equal port. That is what I believe. So if EA where to Half as* say BF4 to the Wii U then I would rather them not bring it at all, and just focus on the X1, & PS4.

Both statements are likely true and it's not a contradiction. The Wii U is almost certainly far too weak to run the engine, especially with the CPU being even weaker than the x360/PS3. However, if you gut the engine enough, you could get it to run on almost anything (even the original Wii or iphones). But that's not the point because gimping the engine that hard not only takes time but also degrades the quality of the experience and likely isn't worth it.
For example, it would have been true to say that the Wii could never run Crysis. But it's also true that if Crytek had gutted the game enough (removed all shadows, dramatically reduced the draw distance, got rid of most of the foliage, did away with the physics, etc.) that they could have gotten it to run on the Wii. So basically, when developers say a particular piece of hardware can't handle a particular game or engine, what they mean is that it would take too much effort and/or degrade the experience too much to hack the experience down enough to get it running on the hardware.

It's always been painfully obvious that EA were lying or if their teeth. They just didn't want to spend time and money on Wii U, and said some pretty stupid things to 'justify' that. I think Frostbite might run with some issues, because it is a CPU intensive engine, but if they have some good coders they'll figure it out, and it could run a lot better than PS3 or 360 versions. Now getting EA to make that investment is the hard part. Nintendo should take an active hand in helping (partially financing? Or simply helping them optimize the engine) EA's initial investment in the Wii U, and then get them rolling. I would love games like Battlefront, NHL, maybe even Battlefield on the Wii U. Hopefully Nintendo can make EA they not jumping on the Wii U sooner, it's all in Nintendo's hands now.

I thought I'd try to give you all the "Reader's Digest Condensed Version" of the trip to North Carolina my girlfriend Pattimarie and I went on last weekend. I did manage to take a "few" photos while on our trip, but wasn't able to get any while on the ride on the Cherahola Skyway and the Dragon, which I'll exlain later.
Anyway, PM and I left Easley around 10:00 AM on Friday, and chose to go a route that would include some nice curves and twisties and some four lane (to get up there a little sooner). Remember, PM hadn't had much practice riding in the mountains by this time, so I didn't want to overwhelm her before we got up to NC. So, we took a route that had us ride through Pisgah National Forest in NC on our way to the Iron Horrse Lodge. We took our time and stopped at a few different spots in the forst, including a Ranger's station, where we saw about a dozen Hummingbirds fighting over a feeding station! Awesome!!!!
We arrived at the Iron Horse Lodge around 4:00 PM and checked in. A couple of Conebutts club members were aleady there and were milling about the lodge, while some decided to go ahead and ride up to the Dragon for an early assault that afternoon.
We had a really nice dinner with the rest of the club at the lodge that evening and everyone was pretty excited about going on the ride the next morning, We were concerned about the weather, though, which wasn't looking too favorable. It had started raining and the forecast called for more showers in the area for Saturday. All we could do was hope that the front would pass over during the night. Naturally, it didn't, and the next morning we were greeted with a light rain as we ate breakfast. At first, we were going to wait until Noon for the weather to improve, but by 10:00 things seemed to be getting better, so the group decided to go ahead and saddle up and start our ride of about 150 miles, which would take us first to the Cherahola Skyway, then on the Deal's Gap and "The Dragon".
PM was getting pretty stressed out about going on the ride with the weather being so unpredictable (she had not really ridden in rainy weather). She didn't want to disappoint me, but was worried she might not be able to handle riding the curves with wet roads. She asked me if I would be upset if she stayed at the lodge, and I told her of course not, that it was a good move, considering her lack of riding in the mountains, especially in rainy conditions. She did want me to go, though, so I agreed and got ready to take off with the 12 other club members who were going.
I want to say right here and now that I wish like hell that I had opted to stay at the lodge as well, because the day proved to be one of the most stressful ones I have EVER experienced on on motorcycle......
Within 15 minutes of leaving the lodge, the rain became more heavy. I was having difficulty seeing through my faceshield, and had to raise the shield about three inches, which meant the rain kept hitting me in the eyes intermittently as we began going up in elevation on the Skyway (elevation 5,400 ft). Soon, it was rain AND fog we had to deal with. I was concentrating on staying close enough to the bike in front of me so I could get an idea of what the curve was going to be like, based on how much the rider had to lean. The fog pretty much shut out any view of the scenery below as we rode toward the top of the mountain. Then, we road into a cloudbank, cutting the visibility down to a few feet, forcing us to crawl along at about 10-15 mph. The lead rider in our pack pulled over at the pulloff, which was a relief to me. As soon as I got off Britta, the rider who was following me came up to me and said, "John I think your tail light is out."
WHAT??????? I checked, and sure enough, the bulb had burned out. Did I have a replacement with me? Of course not. Just what I needed on a foggy and rainy day in the mountains, no tail light. The ride leader asked me to ride in between two riders, so I would stay between people who knew my "condition", and everyone who had emergency flashers turned them on, so we could see the bike in front of us better in the fog. We set off again slowing in the foggy rain on our descent down the skyway into Tennessee and lunch in Tellico Plains, about 25 miles away. By the time we made it down the mountain, the fog and rain had subsided, and I felt a bit more relieved. I just hoped nothing else would go wrong.
We ate lunch at a really nice restaurant in Tellico Plains, even though we were all fairly wet by this point. Most of the riders all had pretty nice BMW riding suits and were dry inside, with their Gore-Tex liners, but soaked on the outside, including me. But I wasn't complaining, mind you. I thought that perhaps the upcoming ride on The Dragon would be more enjoyable than the Skyway.
As we were about to leave, guess what? Right, the rain started back up again. Then, another rider pointed to my right cylinder head and said it looked like the center bolt that held the valve cover on was missing. HUH?!?!?!? I got off Britta and kneeled down and looked into the cylinder head valve cover and saw a nice hole into the head. No bolt. Everyone else got off to take a look at my poor Britta (which, by the way, wa the oldest bike in the ride). One of the riders said that since it looked like the two smaller bolts on the bottom and side that also hold the cover on were still in place, I "probably" would not have any major problems with continuing the ride. My oil level was still OK, so I got back on Britta and we took off in the rain toward Deal's Gap and The Dragon. I admit at this point, I was not in a really good state of mind, wondering if I might have to end up having Britta towed back home.
(See Part 2 for conclusion!)

Workshop Proceeding
Recovering from Disaster: A Summary of the October 17, 2007 Workshop of the Disasters Roundtable (2008)Disasters Roundtable
Disaster recovery is a complex and challenging process that involves all sectors of a community as well as outside interests. In many cases, it is not even clear if and when recovery has been achieved because of varying stakeholder goals for the community, for example with some wanting it returned to what is considered its pre-disaster status and others wanting it to undergo change to realize a vision in which advances are made in risk reduction and other areas. This workshop considered what has been learned about disaster recovery, which has been understudied in comparison to the emergency and other phases of disasters, from both scientific research and the experience of policy makers and practitioners. Historical and recent recovery actions following such events as the September 11th terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina were discussed, along with examples of both pre- and post-disaster recovery planning.

No timetable set for Peavy's return
White Sox right-hander on the mend from bone bruise
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
The well-documented roadblock to Peavy's mound return stems from the right-hander getting hit in the pitching elbow by a Wes Timmons line drive during his Minor League rehab start on Aug. 24. That third start for Triple-A Charlotte was aimed at helping Peavy work his way back from a partially-torn tendon in his right ankle that has left him out of action since June 8.
While it looks as if the liner set Peavy back close to square one in his comeback, White Sox general manager Ken Williams disagreed with that assessment when it was posed to him on Friday. Williams seems optimistic that Peavy will pitch before the 2009 season comes to a close.
"We just met with the doctors, and there's a little bit of inflammation still that is contributing to the problem," said Williams. "But structurally, he has been checked out, as you can imagine, in every way, shape and form.
"It's a bone bruise, and bone bruises sometimes take time. But as long as we are in this thing, he's going to try to keep going out there and loosening up and getting it ready and we're going to allow it to happen. So any talk about shutting him down, from anybody other than me, is premature."
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen talked at the end of this most recent road trip about shutting down Peavy if the White Sox drop completely out of contention. Williams, and of course Peavy, clearly will make the final decision.
Guillen doesn't expect Peavy back any time soon. And the frustrating part for the White Sox is that he could have been starting this weekend against Boston if not for the line drive.
"After he throws, we have to have a plan for him to throw on the side, simulated game, wait for a few days to recover, and throw another day and maybe pitch in a game," Guillen said. "I said last week, I don't have him in the [rotation] this year because I have to go with the realistic plan.
"If he comes back, we have to make some moves. But right now, I don't think he's going to be here soon. I don't want him to do some stupid thing and get worse, and [then] we don't know what we get next year."
There was one final request of Peavy made by Guillen.
"Please get healthy so I don't have to answer these stupid questions," Guillen quipped.

Nyack Sketch Log: Year Round Farmers' Market

Each Thursday morning at 6 am, over a dozen vendors arrive in the municipal parking lot in Nyack. Two hours later, a tent village has risen from the asphalt. Crates of locally grown produce and boxes of fresh baked goods are presented for sale on folding tables. Since May 10th, I have recorded this vibrant expression of the commercial life of our village each week as the first artist-in-residence for Nyack's Farmers' Market.

When the Phillies acquired Halladay from the Blue Jays in December, they envisioned him carrying them back to the World Series. The path to a third consecutive Fall Classic evolved into an uphill battle Wednesday night, when the Giants won Game 4 and gained a 3-1 advantage in this best-of-seven NLCS.
"I'm good. I'm fine with that," shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. "I'm looking for great things out of Roy. I can tell you the last time he had a bad game, he came back and shut the other team down. It's not that he went out there and had a horrible game [in Game 1], but in his mind, that's not the Roy Halladay that he wants to be."
When Halladay allowed four earned runs in seven innings and lost his much-anticipated matchup against Lincecum in Game 1, the level of disappointment nearly equaled the level of euphoria he felt on Oct. 6, when he christened his first postseason start by victimizing the Reds with just the second no-hitter in Major League playoff history.
"I mean, disappointed isn't always the best word," Halladay said. "I wasn't happy with the job that I did, and obviously with the end result."
Unfortunately for Halladay, the end result was far too familiar to the others he'd experienced in his three previous career outings against the Giants.
Including the NLCS matchup, Halladay has gone 0-3 with a 6.66 ERA in four career starts against the Giants. The A's (4.54 in 13 starts) and Rangers (5.36 in 20 appearances) stand as the only other clubs he has posted a plus-4.50 ERA against while making at least four starts.
If stretching to find the positives from this small sample size, Halladay did allow the Giants just four earned runs in seven innings during Game 1. In each of his previous three outings against them, he had allowed exactly five earned runs -- including an April 26 start here at AT&T Park that also lasted seven innings.
"It really gets back to just doing a better job of executing pitches, which is how it is with all teams," Halladay said. "Really looking back, in the two games there were mistakes that hurt me."
Two of the most costly pitches delivered by Halladay in Saturday's Game 1 loss were deposited over the outfield wall by the suddenly imposing Cody Ross. But the most influential pitch was the 0-2 cutter that he seemingly painted on the inside corner at Pat Burrell's knees.
When plate umpire Derryl Cousins called a ball and Burrell followed with an RBI single that fueled the decisive two-run sixth, Halladay was staring at the same misfortune the Giants have grown accustomed to creating against him.
"I know what I have to do," Halladay said. "My job's to execute pitches. You obviously don't beat a team single-handedly. You do it as a team. That's something we've done all year. We've beat teams as a team. I need to do a better job on my end of making good pitches. I know what I need to do. It's just a matter of going out and doing it."
Looking at the fact that the Giants are the only Major League club that has handed Halladay two losses this year, Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel believes that San Francisco's aggressive offensive approach has simply proven successful against his ace's aggressive approach to the strike zone.
"I think that they're aggressive, and I think Roy's mostly around the plate, and they're apt to get some hits when you're swinging," Manuel said. "If he's not putting the ball exactly where he wants to and stuff like that, you'll run into a couple or some hits. That's basically what happened. But the other day, the game he pitched last week, I felt like him and Lincecum were pretty much even up."
Last weekend's highly-anticipated pitching matchup didn't live up to what could have been viewed as ridiculous expectations. The Phillies damaged Lincecum's seven-inning effort with Carlos Ruiz's solo homer and Jayson Werth's two-run shot.
Now away from the cozy confines of Citizens Bank Park and pitted against each other in the more pitcher-friendly environment created by AT&T Park, Halladay and Lincecum will seemingly have a better opportunity to at least attempt to match the expectations that surrounded their Game 1 matchup.
"I'm definitely looking forward to the opportunity," Halladay said. "I think all our guys are looking forward to the opportunity of continuing to play."

Taxes, labor laws, workforce education, health care and workers' compensation insurance are regularly cited as issues critical to the operation of a business. However, a very important component for having healthy and engaged employees is often overlooked—access to child care.
In fact, quality, affordable child care can often determine whether or not a parent works at all. Reliable child care means consistent, dependable and predictable employees. When workers don't have to worry whether their children are in a safe environment, they are more focused at work. Stable child care even translates into less absenteeism, improved morale and reduced turnover.
Affordable child care makes it possible for parents to attend school. This allows for upward mobility in the job market by pursuing vocational training or a college degree, giving parents better opportunities to provide for their families and increasing the number of skilled employees in the workforce.
Child care does more than just support working parents; it provides children with the foundation to develop into valuable employees for the future workforce. Research shows that attending quality early learning programs has increased achievement test scores, decreased grade repetition and special education needs, and increased graduation rates.
Unfortunately, this economic generator that allows parents to earn $26.4 billion annually could see its funding slashed and faces dramatic reorganization. As many as 62,000 child care spaces across the state could be eliminated and oversight of the program would move from being under that state's educational jurisdiction to a county welfare administered system. This means that the educational resources for children would be eliminated, with a primary focus on only one small segment of the parent population—mothers who receive welfare benefits.
Additionally, the proposed cuts eliminate funding for low-income parents who are attending college. If these parents are not able to earn a degree or learn a trade, they will not be able to gain employment or earn higher wages. Skilled and well-educated employees are more than just a benefit to the workforce. They also improve the economy by paying taxes and buying goods, essentially reinvesting in the communities where they live and work.
One local organization serves more than 25,000 children, parents, child care providers and community members each month across its service area that includes the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys. Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) manages 7 percent of the entire state budget related to alternative payment, and resource and referral programs.
However, the proposed state budget cuts threaten the ability of CCRC to serve its clients and the community. It has already lost more than 1,000 licensed child care providers and 130 child care centers. Not only do these closures harm important services, but they are responsible for the loss of local small businesses. CCRC is a robust local employer in its own right, supporting 500 employees who live, work and support the local economy.
It is critical for the business community to understand that child care is not just a family issue, but a valid business concern. The present state of our workforce and economy depend on children being cared for in a safe and reliable environment so that parents can perform their jobs. Our future economic vitality is also tied to effective child care, which allows parents the freedom to pursue educational advancement opportunities and gives children the necessary foundation to one day be productive members of the workforce.

Originally Posted by jimbo333 Well apparently Mac didn't like the retail version of the wood Maxply McEnroe, it was made for him so i don't know what they were doing?

Anyone know anything about this? Originally posted by Pauloraz For sure, the racquet used by Mac was not the standard Maxply Mcenroe, but I don't think it was a paintjob of the maxply fort...He started with a prototype at the end of '81-beginning '82, which I guess (from the pics) was a fort with a glassfiber instead of wood reinforce in the lower part of the head (dunlop written in red on the handle and light brown wooden reinforce above the grip, as the fort). Later he switched to a racquet where this reinforce is dark brown, much more than the retail maxply mcenroe version. It might be a fort painted to mimic the retail mcenroe or a graphite instead of wood reinforce...I've never been able to solve the mystery!!

The Jackson County sheriff's office stated the state police crime lab was able to get DNA evidence from the carton, and it matched two suspects in an FBI database.
Additional charges have been filed against a 33-year-old Central Point man who was jailed in an unrelated break-in. The sheriff's office said Wednesday it's still investigating the other suspect.
The loot from the Eagle Point burglary included $10,000 in silver and coins in a safe. Sheriff's spokeswoman Andrea Carlson says none of it has been recovered.

Beware Spice Abuse
While you're busy putting finishing touches on the holiday meal, your teenagers and pre-teen kids might have other ideas about how to use the season's aromatic spices and other ingredients. And the results could be dangerous.
"The envelope is always being pushed to create something new that will get attention, potentially create a drug-like effect and can pass under the radar of law enforcers," said Christina Hantsch, a toxicologist at Loyola University Health System, in a press release.
Here are a few of the more common forms of ingredient abuse to watch out for. Tell your kids to step away from the pantry and just say no:
- Cinnamon Challenge: Thousands of videos on YouTube show people attempting to swallow a tablespoon of dry cinnamon in less than a minute, no water allowed. And although a website dedicated to the challenge offers a warning in red letters ("DO NOT ATTEMPT THE CINNAMON CHALLENGE! IT BURNS!"), the site offers video after video of young people laughing hysterically as they try it. That burning sensation, the Loyola news release explains, along with a violent coughing spell that may follow, can lead to breathing trouble and choking.
- Nutmeg Snorting: YouTube is also filled with videos of people substituting nutmeg for cinnamon in the swallowing challenge. And thrill-seekers have long been known to snort, smoke or eat large amounts of nutmeg to get a hallucinogenic high. But ingesting large amounts of nutmeg can cause nasty side-effects, according to a report by ABC News, including severe gastrointestinal distress, heart and nerve problems, scary hallucinations that can last for days, and even death.

Discussion in 'College Tennis Talk' started by TopDawg, Jan 12, 2013.
Looks like a tight doubles point coming down to #1
Indiana giving Oklahoma all it wants - IU up 2-1
It would be big for OU if Alvarez can finish off this tiebreak. Looks like all the pressure could be on a MacTaggart/Alcorta 3rd set.
Any predictions on UK and OU this weekend? I'll be there!
Before today I would have said Oklahoma but after the way they struggled against Indiana who knows. I like Oklahoma at 4 and 6 singles and Kentucky at 2 and 5. I think 1 and 3 are both tossups. Could be one of those matches that goes 4-3 with the team taking doubles getting the win.
USC squeaks out the doubles point against Texas by breaking at 3 to win 8-6. Gomez and Johnson got destroyed at 2 losing 8-1. Sarmiento and Hanfmann won 8-6 at 1.
ahh finally. Semenzato is inserted at #4.
Oklahoma squeak it out which they just deserved, not sure if they played down or IU played up but it was close on 4 courts and IU took the dubs. Again IU's freshman Sam Monette impressed me. I think he will be a very solid player down the road.
How about Stanford whippin' up on BYU 7-0. 4 of the 6 singles were straight sets and the closest doubles was 8-5. BYU gave UCLA a somewhat decent match a week ago.
Having now seen Indiana play UK and OK I think Kentucky were marginally better but that doesnt really mean much. It will be close and Id be surprised if both stay top 10 all season.
Illinois coming out strong in singles. Leading on 4 courts early.
It's early Jaggy. UK has stepped up and has improved in all their matches against ranked opponents which has been their last 3. Cinc just joined the team and is solid at #5. The only losses they've had have been in the 3 and 4 spots. One guy was injured all fall and #4 is a Freshman.
So If they can shore up the middle of their lineup I would say they could stay near and just in the top 10 all year.
Semenzato must be a little rusty - got bageled in the 1st set
shaking my head at this lineup - though i think duke will pull it out
this is why it's time 1) to stop pretending saba is suddenly way better than mengel - never has been better, never will be - mengel can get a win way higher than #5 and 2) you make semenzato prove himself somewhere before a big match on the road - first match jitters + big indoor illini crowd = bad news
tahir on the bench while bruno gets whacked makes me cringe
ps who can name the last time two brunos played against eachother in a D1 match? not me
gonna be either hemmeler or redlicki that saves the day for duke - saba is a fighter but hilzik is no easy out from a set down, and well bruno...
Time for some Dukies to salvage some reputation for the ACC. I have Duke rated a tiny bit better than Ohio State this year, but it looks like an off night for them. Based on fall results, I have to think that Semmeler is better than Guignon, and I would have picked Tahir also over Guignon at #6.
USC shuts out Texas 7-0. All straight sets wins with #6 the only close one.
come on duke bruno - there you go!
Duke vs Illinois. Two Brunos going at it at No. 4 singles. What are the odds of that?
nevermind duke bruno - is it too late to have you take the fall for whatever capra did to lose her season?
Getting interesting now tied at 2. Hiltzik up 2-0 in the 3rd and Guignon a game away from winning at 6. This upset could happen.
yep, gut check time for hemmeler
Surprised. Duke must have been looking ahead or something.
Tied at 3 and Hiltzik now up 3-0 in the 3rd. This would be a stunner.
Based on the strength of summer and fall results for a number of Duke players, it makes no sense. Of course, based on those results, it makes no sense to me for Saba to play #2, and now he has to make a comeback victory ... or else.
i guess the coming weeks will tell whether the illini are better than their early season results or whether duke simply isn't a title contender this year
or whether cunha-mengel-redlicki-saba-tahir-hemmeler is a much more intelligent lineup
Lots of lineups seem better, but then again, Hemmeler should win at #6 against Illinois.
Hiltzik finishes it - yeah this one doesn't make much sense. How does Illinois go from getting thumped by Tennessee and Tulsa then turn around and do this. Head scratcher.
true, plenty of responsibility for the players as well for this one
long way to go if they're going to be a team competing for the ACC title / final four / etc
Duke should have waited to insert Semenzato for Notre Dame. Illinois may have seemed weaker this year but they are still a college tennis force and teams just don't go into Champaigne and roll up the Illini. I don't know how Semezato plays but I would guess that he may be a better outdoor player while Tahir a better indoor player.
Good call.
Evan King def 2 Matija Pecotic 6-0 6-1
Missed the Duke/Illinois match tonight.
MikeJ, I know we discussed Semenzato earlier in another thread and if he even would be in the lineup at all, but did you ever imagine him being thrown in at #4? And what the heck in Mengel doing at #5? I figure Duke might've pulled out the win had he and Saba switched places in the lineup.
Dancer obviously gave his team a pep talk after last week's losses.
Stanford sends BYU home licking their wounds.
No. 18 Stanford 7, No. 48 BYU 0
1) Morrissey/Kandath (STAN) d. Kawka/Sargeant (BYU) 8-4
2) No. 57 Ball/Strobel (STAN) d. Cullimore/Pearce (BYU) 8-1
3) Romanowicz/Stineman (STAN) d. Fillmore/Smith (BYU) 8-5
Order of Finish: 2, 1, 3
1) No. 39 John Morrissey (STAN) d. Patricka Kawka (BYU) 6-1, 6-2
2) Matt Kandath (STAN) d. Spencer Smith (BYU) 6-4, 6-4
3) Nolan Paige (STAN) d. Francis Sargeant (BYU) 3-6, 6-4, 6-3
4) Maciek Romanowicz (STAN) d. Keaton Cullimore (BYU) 6-0, 6-3
5) Robert Stineman (STAN) d. Andrey Goryachkov (BYU) 6-1, 6-2
6) Trey Strobel (STAN) d. John Pearce (BYU) 6-3, 3-6, 7-5
Order of Finish: 5, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3
Ohio State preparing for Sunday's big match vs Georgia
Mikej, I wouldn't be too upset about losing to Illinois. From a coach's perspective that match represents the perfect match for Duke to tinker with the line-up. You already qualified for the team indoor tournament so it is not as important of a match. At some point during the season a coach needs to see what his players can do in different situations. Also, contrary to what some may say here. Dancer is a good coach. As an Illini, I am surprised they won but not surprised that Illinois played a lot better. Remember, this was an important match for Illinois for NCAA seeding.
It might have been an important match for Duke for NCAA seeding, also. If they drop to #6 in May because of this match, that means their path is against the 3-2-1 seeds, for example.
It will hurt their ranking all year. I assume that will be their worst loss of the season unless they find a way to lose to UNC again. Not only did Duke lose but they got handled on 3 courts. Only Saba gave a fight. Cunha and Mengel had mismatches but the other 3 really gave a poor performance.
#15 Tennessee at #25 Illinois – 7pm est/6pm cst – LiveStats & UTBlog
Tennessee takes the doubles point over Illinois. UT's #3 served for it up 7-6 but got broke before taking it in the TB 7-4. Will be interesting to see if Illinois can do it again in singles tonight.
Topdawg, I checked out the Live Video cam from the Huskies site last night. and it was Awsome. Crystal clear video. I wished the cam was little closer down to the courts but you can't ask for everything. Huskies done a Class A job on this one. I only hope during the tournament when the Webcam Traffic is much busier, it doesn't have the problem with slowing down or freezing.
but last night, NO problems there.
Why doesn't Illinois still don't have the Webcams up yet ? They are supposed to have this operational by the time NCAA tournament gets going in May.
Nostradamus knows web cam!
I watched a few minutes as well - what was even better is you could open up different courts in multiple windows - lots of times when you open up a second court it will override the court you already have open. Even had sound as well on all courts.
Illinois live stats is a full 5 minutes behind based off UT blog.
Tennessee shuts out Illinois 4-0. Illini not able to ride that high from last night.
2 top 10 matchups tomorrow.
#6 Georgia at #4 Ohio State – Noon est. – Video & LiveStats
#5 Duke at #30 Notre Dame – Noon est – LiveStats
#49 Wake Forest at #20 Michigan – 11am – LiveStats/Video

text: Hi, I am pleased to announce jhc 0.6.0, It has been a long time since an official release, so there have been a lot of changes. Jhc is an optimizing haskell compiler that focuses on creating fast and portable code. Jhc is still mainly of interest to jhc hackers and developers than the general haskell public, but it is starting to see use in embedded development with haskell so I decided to make more public announcements of major releases in the future. some links: The jhc homepage: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/ Installation Instructions: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/building.shtml The jhc manual: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/manual.html And I am happy to announce, there is now a yum repository* for jhc and my other projects (such as DrIFT), so if you use an rpm based linux distribution, you can keep up to date with jhc official releases by doing: ; rpm -i http://repetae.net/yum/repetae-repo-1.0-3.noarch.rpm ; yum install jhc A couple recent changes: jhc now comes bundled with the 'containers' and 'applicative' library making it much easier to compile many haskell programs out there. (Data.Graph, Data.IntMap, Data.IntSet, Data.Map, Data.Sequence, Data.Set, Data.Tree, Control.Applicative, Control.Arrow, Control.Category, Data.Foldable, Data.Traversable) signifigant speed and resource usage improvements in compilation time. transparent cross compilation support for creating windows programs on a unix box. (or iPhone/Nokia Tablet/etc..) If you are interested in jhc development, please sign up on the jhc mailing list here: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/jhc John * I would love to get proper 'deb's and BSD packages built also automatically, if anyone wants to help with this, please join the list and let us know. -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈

Who was the doofus who decided that the default layout for a Linux software RAID array puts the RAID superblock at the very end of the device or partition? The upshot of this is that the system can have a hard time telling the difference between an array that is built on raw devices, versus an array that is built on partitions that extend to the end of the devices. If you rely on the system's automatic array detection logic, it may get it wrong; this can have some rather unpleasant (and very puzzling) results.
I managed to get the MD subsystem on my work desktop into a very confused state because of this, and ended up accidentally corrupting (and needing to rebuild from scratch) the RAID-1 array I was setting up. No real harm done (no data lost), but man was that a head-scratcher!
When I finally figured out WTF was going on, I forced it to use "version 1.2" superblocks when I rebuilt the array. This puts the superblocks at a fixed offset from the *start* of the device or partition. Seems a lot more sensible to me!
Moral of the story: Always use the "--metadata=1.2" option if you're building a RAID array on partitioned devices!

Explorations in Equality of Opportunity, 1955-1970 [United States] (ICPSR 7671)
Principal Investigator(s): Eckland, Bruce K.
This data collection contains information gathered in a longitudinal survey of a national sample of adults who were high school sophomores in 1955 and who participated in a 1970 follow-up survey. The 1970 study was designed to explore the determinants and long-range consequences of individual mobility in the United States. In 1955, in 42 public high schools across the nation, 4,151 sophomores were given aptitude and career goals questionnaires by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). In 1970, the University of North Carolina's Institute for Research in Social Science (IRSS) attempted to contact the sample with mailback questionnaires. There were 2,077 usable responses. The sophomore sample approximated a representative national sample of its age cohort, with the following exceptions: (1) students attending predominantly non-white institutions were excluded, (2) private schools were excluded, (3) large-city schools tended to be under-represented, and (4) low-ability students and school dropouts tended to be under-represented. The mailed questionnaires included items concerning personal data and activities, high school and college experience (e.g., reasons for dropping out of high school, motivating factors for attending college, and number of high school friends who attended college), work experience (e.g., job history, hours worked, types of occupations, and work attitudes), family background and marriage (e.g., ethnicity, religion reared in, and highest level of education attained by immediate family members), and finances (e.g., financial obligations, income, and assets), as well as a wide range of questions on attitude and esteem (e.g., current feelings about hometown, present community, high school, and college). Women were asked additional questions concerning contraception, pregnancy, family size, and attitudes toward women's roles and work.
