The generic "Politics" for this category of posting leaves me wondering, how many atheists and non-theists, freethinkers and agnostics belonging to A|N consider themselves a wonk. (I used "Wonkette" facetiously and with reference to the dot com of a political blogger.) If by now you still do not know what a wonk is, I recommend going back to your own planet and consulting its library. Now, I only ask because I am actually curious about a matter. Can anyone tell me how many vice-presidential candidates, whose ticket lost an election, actually went on to become president themselves when they ran at the top of the ticket?
I am only curious because Paul Ryan appeared on a morning political talk show and prove anew that we are about to see The Second Coming of the Purple Better One. As I recall, that was the late William S. Burroughs' term for all politicians, for whom he had nothing but vitriolic disdain. He likened them to a certain ape that has a, you know, purple..... Since they are all alike in their motive for running in the first place (to get rich, automatically eschewing altruism, casting it aside at the altar of Gold), altruism and profit being mutually exclusive.
Somehow, I simply cannot see Ryan in the White House. No woman in her right mind would vote for him. His sexist, Catholic ideas about women -- he supports state brainwashing of abortion patients in Christian dogmatic practices that should horrify everyone but the Stepford bitches who actually think a woman's place is to be her husband's "help mate." Then, there is his threat to Social Security and Medicare. Finally, there is his perennially smiling, perennially smug face. When I die and go to hell Ryan will be there, pitchfork and tail.

The "Purple Better One" ... you mean Barney the Dinosaur?
The GOP presidential ticket in the election just past consisted of a man who barely wanted to be president and a man who had no business being either vice-president OR president. I suppose that, if the GOP can manage to retreat from its far-right excursions, that Paul Ryan MIGHT be a touch more acceptable to voters, but there would remain the matter of his previous speech and positions from the 2012 election. Offhand, I'd say the media won't let him or the voters forget that, and disavowals in favor of a new, bluer Paul Ryan are not likely to wash too well.
You suppose Romney could use some help over at Marriott?
"You suppose Romney could use some help over at Marriott?" Yes, he constantly complains that handing out towels in the men's room is only fit for a black person or Hispanic. He also does not like making $7.50 an hour and wants a higher minimum wage. And he grumbles about the tips being miniscule now that eight years of George W. Bush have almost destroyed the economy, put millions out of work, and brought us to the brink of bankruptcy and/or a Second Great Depression. He confides: "If that rich ignoramus from Midland, Texas, hadn't fucked everything up during his two terms, the voters wouldn't blame me. I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contendah." You might say Mittens is embarrassed at ending up in the Marriott men's room, but that's about the best he could get since every potential employer said "overqualified."
Pat is correct - Ryan would just be terrible and like you said James "No woman in her right mind would vote for him. His sexist, Catholic ideas about women -- he supports state brainwashing of abortion patients in Christian dogmatic practices that should horrify everyone but the Stepford bitches who actually think a woman's place is to be her husband's 'help mate.'"
I would never vote for that.
Thanks for quoting the most awkward sentence. Funny, I had you lusting to be a Stepford Woman. ;-)
The people that go to hell are the ones that actually want to go. Humorously posited by George B. Shaw in the 3rd act of Man and Superman - Don Juan in Hell.
Besides, we get to meet Voltaire, Hemingway, Mark Twain, Einstein, among many, many others. All you get up there are the Jerry Falwells.
James - yes - exactly
Jerry fallwell? Good grief. Eternity with that gasbag? Are we sure we don't have heaven and hell confused?
That's the point, isn't it? One person's heaven is another person's hell. So why was Jerry Falwell telling us all how to run our lives? When I studied religion I read a bit about the Yezidis of Iraq. The few of them remaining (those who survived Saddam's pogroms) still worship Satan as the "ruler of the world." It was interesting to see an antinomian gnostic sect in the Muslim world. In their belief that the planet is in the clutches of the Devil, the Yezidis were like the Ophites, whose consecration of sacramental bread began with having snakes crawl over the loaves prior to ritual consumption by congregants. The implication would have to be that both the Qu'ran and the Bible are the collected lies of the Devil.
I'm no expert but the following is my current political hallucination...
Unfortunately, the other party must put up a candidate to oppose Ryan. Having put all their eggs in one basket, democrats will be most likely be putting up Biden for POTUS. That is, barring some unforseen political disaster like 9/11 2.0 or death. I personally like Biden but let's face it, he has the reputation for being an amusing buffoon. Unless the dem's gain some degree of seriousness about deficit reduction, an increasingly number of the electorate will see someone, indeed anyone of the fiscal conservative persuasion as a serious candidate. I think it's too early to anoint Ryan as the GOP candidate but I would not be surprised to see him out there stamping out any early competition. That's what I would do since Romney seems to be out permanently. Unless dem's start building support for the next election candidate early, they'll let Ryan back in the race before they even know the starting gates are open. I don't know if it's within the dem candidate power to do so but they stand the best chance if they can somehow manage to splinter the opposition.
On the GOP side, the candidate who can bind all anti-dem forces together will have a good chance of success. It's going to take someone with some serious political instincts to do so and he'll need titanium bands to keep the monkeys in the cage. I would think the GOP would have a better chance putting up a more moderate candidate but for some reason they don't seem to get it. The longer they're in the wilderness, the more wild they get. If the GOP has it's way this next election will not be about social issues. Every stump speech will be about economics, real or imagined. Even if the economy continues to improve, they'll attempt to shift the debate towards long term economic theory, which many people will buy into because they're scared. That could change depending upon just how much things improve.
I don't gamble much so I don't know what the term is for doubling what you've already doubled down own. Maybe cubing down?
Of Ryan, James says: "No woman in her right mind would vote for him." But if every woman NOT in her right mind voted for him, and most old white men, he'd be a shoo-in. Remember, there are women rabidly opposed to the Equal Rights Amendment.

To my surprise the tourney went ahead and we managed to play the cowboy tourney on the Loch table and it worked out fine.
You still cannot play cowboy on the Loch in a match room or a challenge room so dont waste your time trying.
However to my point.
I have every intention of running a Kelpcod Memorial Cowboy on the Loch Tourney in the not too distant future.
Ill post here with further details soon. I just want to test another Cowboy on the Loch with club pockets to make sure that works ok then it should be good to go.

Not only are Menicon's new flat pack daily disposable contact lenses thin enough to stash in a wallet, but they're also made with specially developed materials to keep the lenses clean while you put them on.
To reduce the volume of a standard disposable contact lens case by about 40 per cent, Menicon secures them between two specially designed foil sheets so the lenses float loosely. Not only does it make the packaging considerably thinner, but it also allows for custom printed graphics on both sides. The flat pack has also been engineered so that when opened the outer surface of the lens is always exposed first, allowing them to be picked up without a user's fingers contaminating the inner surface with bacteria or dirt. They'll be available in Japan starting next April for around $US40 for 30 packs, and will also be the first lenses to be made from 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate-Glycerol Methacrylate. A material that doesn't sound like the best thing to stick in your eye, but actually has water molecule attracting properties that keep the lenses moist for longer periods.

Ms. Emilie Woody from Wando High School was named CCSD's 2015 Teacher of the Year on April 23, 2015. Ms. Woody is a Teacher Librarian, the head of Student Activities at Wando, and one of the faculty members leading Wando's Information Technology initiatives. According to Principal Lucy Beckham, Emilie is "one of the best educators I have ever worked with," which means a great deal coming from a veteran administrator and former National Principal of the Year!
Congratulations to CCSD's runner-up District Teacher of the Year, Ms. Denisse Stanbery, band instructor at C.E. Williams Middle School. Principal Kevin Smith is extremely proud of Ms. Stanbery, adding that "her dedication to her students and the CEW learning community is inspiring."
On Friday, March 6, CCSD's Office of Teacher Effectiveness and current District Teacher of the Year Jaime Cunningham (Liberty Hill Academy) surprised the five finalists for District Teacher of the Year. Each finalist had the opportunity to check out a MINI Cooper from MINI of Charleston that the District Teacher of the Year will receive at CCSD Educator Night with the Charleston RiverDogs. Congratulations to each of the Teacher of the Year Finalists!
Special thanks to MINI of Charleston, the Charleston RiverDogs, and News 2 for their partnerships with CCSD in recognizing and rewarding our teacher leaders through the Teacher of the Year process!
"My greatest contribution is passing on my love of learning, and my greatest accomplishments are my students. I have had students who astounded me, students who surprised me, students who have challenged me, and students who have nearly driven me crazy. However, every one of the students who entered my classroom has learned, grown and been successful in some way."
A graduate of University of Maryland and The Citadel, Mary Ashlie Barnes enters her classroom each morning believing that "every student has the right to learn in an environment that promotes encouragement, acceptance, risk-taking, and a love of learning." Ms. Barnes builds meaningful relationships with her students and respects their individual learning abilities, developing instruction to meet their specific needs. Instruction in Ms. Barnes classroom reveals an integration of all subjects so that the students make connections between the different subjects. She bases her decisions in the classroom and in the profession on what is best for students and encourages other educators to place students first.
"I am a teacher, someone who enlightens others and instills valuable information, someone who accepts the responsibility of sharing wisdom and does so with an open heart."
A graduate of the College of Charleston and The Citadel, Dana Monahan credits her passion for the teaching profession to her teacher cadet class in high school and the teachers who impacted her life. As a Master Reading Teacher, Ms. Monahan uses data to develop instruction and methods for intervention. She firmly believes that teachers should understand the whole student, seeking information about individual student successes and helping them to develop and accomplish specific achievement goals. Ms. Monahan not only serves as an advocate for literacy and struggling readers, but she also serves her colleagues in her school and the district. By leading professional development in areas such as technology, literacy, and even yoga, Ms. Monahan models the ideals of a "life-long learner."
"It is of utmost importance that students are aware that EVERYONE is involved in their learning, not only me, but their parents, and the students themselves."
A graduate of Boston College and Lesley University, Amy Ryan's greatest contributions are those that she makes in the classroom and those she makes to help her school become a better place for learning. Ms. Ryan works closely with colleagues, sharing initiatives and strategies she gains from professional development and offering insights about student development and learning. Ms. Ryan believes in "equal access to quality education" for all students by designing instruction to meet the different academic needs of the students and "advocating for those students that don't seem to have a voice." Ms. Ryan's support for student development can be witnessed in her volunteer work with a youth swim team and dance league. Her principal commented that "what's most striking about her is her ability to remain student-centered in all of her decisions and actions."
"The development and use of creativity in every classroom…optimizes student learning, student achievement, concept retention, and encourages learners to expand their horizons through creative learning opportunities."
A graduate of Andrews University and VanderCook College of Music, Denisse Stanbery strives to link state standards for music education to other subject areas outside of music by developing connections between music and history, social studies, English, math, and other subjects. A learner herself, Ms. Stanbery benefits from observing and consulting with colleagues who demonstrate efficacy in their own teaching. Often, she transfers the pedagogical practice of others into her work. Likewise, she encourages her colleagues as well as new teachers to observe in her classroom where she models high standards for herself and her students.
"Students succeed when they know they are cared for and prepared for."
A graduate of Furman University and University of South Carolina, Emilie Woody advocates for educators to make students the first priority in their work. Ms. Woody believes that by making personal connections with students they will recognize her as someone they can trust. It is this trust that encourages the students to come to school, which in turn positively impacts their academic achievement. Ms. Woody's involvement with student organizations and various roles in the school community demonstrate her pride in the work she does and in the school where she works.

2014 NBA Eastern Conference finals preview: Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat
No. 1 Indiana Pacers (56-26) vs. No. 2 Miami Heat (54-28)
- Game 1 in Indianapolis: Pacers 107, Heat 96
- Game 2 in Indianapolis: Heat 87, Pacers 83
- Game 3 in Miami: Heat 99, Pacers 87
- Game 4 in Miami: Heat 102, Pacers 90
- Game 5* in Indianapolis: Wednesday, May 28, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
- Game 6* in Miami: Friday, May 30, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
- Game 7* in Indianapolis: Sunday, June 1, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
- * — if necessary
Season series: Split 2-2.
PACERS:Fulfilled preseason promise
HEAT:LeBron quells player boycott talk
How the Pacers got here: Beat No. 5 seed Washington Wizards 4-2 in the second round; beat No. 8 seed Atlanta Hawks 4-3 in first round.
How the Heat got here: Beat No. 6 seed Brooklyn Nets 4-1 in the second round; beat No. 7 seed Charlotte Bobcats 4-0 in the first round.
Points per game (per 100 possessions): Pacers 96.7, Heat 102.2 (Pacers 104.1, Heat 110.9).
Points allowed per game (per 100 possessions): Pacers 92.3, Heat 99.5 (Pacers 99.3, Heat 105.8).
Matchups worth watching: Pacers SF Paul George vs. Heat SF LeBron James, Heat PFs Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen and C Greg Oden vs. Pacers C Roy Hibbert.
Scoring leaders: George (21.7 points per game), James (27.1).
Why Indiana will win: If there's one team that could galvanize and re-energize Hibbert, it's the Heat. They don't have the size to match up with the 7-2 All-Star, and he has played some of his best and most memorable games in the playoffs against the Heat. George proved last year he can go head-to-head with James as well as anyone, and Indiana has a more balanced roster than Miami. The Heat also never know how much they'll get out of Dwyane Wade, who at his best is better than anyone on the Pacers.
Why Miami will win: The Heat are the best team in the NBA when they come together. LeBron James has dominated the playoffs, and Miami has reached this round without any pressure while Indiana needed seven games vs. the lowly Hawks and six vs. the inexperienced Wizards. Wade and Ray Allen always seem to rise to the occasion when needed, and Chris Bosh continues to be one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
Did you know? The last time two teams played a seven-game Eastern Conference finals series, then went at it again the next year? The Heat, led by Wade and Shaquille O'Neal, avenged their 2005 loss to the Detroit Pistons by beating them 4-2.
Prediction: Heat in 6.

Institute of Forest Resources Announces Funding for Six Research Projects
This spring, the Institute of Forest Resources (IFR) awarded funding to six new research projects in Washington, ranging from the feasibility of a wolf economy, to restoring fire-prone forest ecosystems.
Led by Dean Emeritus Bruce Bare of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS), IFR's mission is to explore research covering forestry and other emerging issues related to forest and environmental sciences. The institute's primary scope involves issues affecting Washington State's rural and urban forest ecosystems, and how to sustain the multiple products and services derived from these resources.
Housed within SEFS, and borrowing from the wealth of internal expertise and connections at affiliated institutions, IFR promotes a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective. None of its research is carried out in isolation or on strictly theoretical grounds. These projects rely on the natural laboratory of people interacting with their physical environment—wildlife and agriculture, climate change and forest management, forest policy and economic markets, watersheds and water quality. The goal is to deliver practical solutions and policies that promote a sustainable balance between ecological and economic interests.
Funding has been finalized for four of the six proposals, and is pending final approval from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture for the remaining two. The six projects for 2013-14 include:
1. "Defining Desired Future Conditions for Restoration of Fire-Prone Forest Ecosystems: Lessons from the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program." (Charles B. Halpern, Lauren S. Urgenson, Clare M. Ryan, Ernesto Alvarado and Jonathan D. Bakker).
Restoration of frequent- and mixed-fire regime forest ecosystems is a pressing natural resource issue in Washington State, as in much of the West. In 2009, the U.S. Forest Service established the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) to facilitate forest restoration at a landscape scale. The program engages stakeholders from diverse groups—with differing goals and perspectives—in the design and implementation of large-scale forest restoration projects. This project has two overarching goals: first, to understand how CFLRP collaboratives in the inland Northwest (and beyond) achieve consensus in defining desired future conditions; and second, to distill this understanding as a set of "best practices" that can assist forest managers and collaborative-group members in this process.
2. "Assessing the Impact of Trade Policies on the Competitiveness of Wood Exports from Washington State." (Ivan Eastin and Indroneil Ganguly).
Recently, a large number of new laws, regulations, policies and programs have been adopted around the Pacific Rim that could significantly affect the specification, use and trade of wood products from Washington State. This study will implement a program of research and extension activities designed to assist small and medium-sized wood products companies and Native American tribal enterprises to understand and adapt to these changing market conditions.
3. "Finding Common Ground Toward the Resolution of a Forest Management Dispute." (Stanley T. Asah and E. David Ford).
Management of the Olympic Experimental State Forest (OESF) is important to a range of interested parties. This project will implement a research program to better understand and inform the resolution of the dispute about how the OESF is currently managed, and to outline key areas of consensus and disagreement about how the forest should be managed in the future. In light of the Olympic Natural Resources Center's role as a neutral forum for addressing management challenges, the aim of this study is to facilitate the management of the OESF in ways that are not only ecologically sound but are also culturally, politically and socio‐economically acceptable across the key stakeholder groups.
4. "Climate Change and Washington State Biofuels Industry: Impacts and Critical Technical Innovations." (Renata Bura, Richard Gustafson, Susan Bolton, Josh Lawler and Luke Rogers.)
Hardwood plantations are being established in the Pacific Northwest to provide feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. However, water demand and water availability for the production of biofuels may be substantial, and water issues need to be investigated further before a commercial system is built out and formalized. The study will use an interdisciplinary approach to develop new technologies, and perform impact assessments for attaining sustainable biofuel production.
5. "Feasibility of a Wolf Economy for Washington." (John Marzluff, Stanley Asah and Aaron Wirsing).
This project will engage stakeholders in the recovery of wolf numbers in Washington State to determine the feasibility, both social and economic, of developing a market that values a sustainable wolf population. Researchers will build on existing examples and citizen input to test two major components of a viable wolf economy: protecting rancher investments, and developing new markets that reward and compensate ranchers who coexist with wolves.
6. "Assessing the Status of Washington's Hardwood Resource." (B. Bruce Bare, John Perez-Garcia and Luke Rogers).
This study aims to calculate how much hardwood growing stock currently exists in Washington State; the age (or size) class structure and location of the inventory; the ownerships currently managing the growing stock; and the volume under riparian management regulations.
During a two-year period, total funding for the six projects is roughly $1.5 million, including federal funds provided by the McIntire-Stennis cooperative research program, and matching funds provided by project collaborators.
As these projects take shape, IFR will work to communicate research findings to the public through meetings, workshops, websites and social media—and in clear, accessible language that resonates widely. So stay tuned!

Omaha families may see rise in taxes
From paychecks to investments, money earned by Nebraska families is on the line as Washington tries to reach a consensus to prevent the country from falling over the 'fiscal cliff'.
The way it looks right now, the average middle class family would pay about $3,400 more in taxes a year.
With their toes dangling over the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff, there's a chasm between democrats and republicans.
"I wish they'd quit drawing lines in the playground sand and come together as adults and deal with the issue," said Michelle Banks, from Omaha.
"I understand the need for bigger tax revenue, but the bigger concern for me is curbing the spending," said Michael Geis.
No deal means there is nothing for the Senate and House to vote on. Late Sunday afternoon, legislators bridged what they called a 'major setback'. Republicans pulled out one piece of their offer to avoid the fiscal fallout.
"I was really happy that Republicans took the cuts to social security off the table," said Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid. "But the truth is they never should have been on the table to begin with."
Senate Minority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell said he reached out to Vice President Biden while waiting for democrats to counteroffer.
"I want everyone to know I'm willing to get this done," said Sen. McConnell. "But I need a dance partner."
It's hard to dance around the issue that no deal means your taxes will rise. The payroll tax funding social security goes up 2 percent, costing you, on average, about $700 or more.
Income tax would also rise three to five percent. You likely wouldn't notice that until filing your tax return in 2014.
All of this is part of a waiting game for Omaha CPA Rod Anderson.
"If this happens, do this, if it happens this way, do it this way," said Anderson. "There's a lot of people sitting on the fence waiting to go one way or another."
It's hard to advise people what to do with their money when the rules may change. Anderson says with both capital gains and dividends facing tax hikes, some are just cashing out.
"It may be a case where you want to sell that stock this year, recognize the gain and pay a lower tax rate on that stock," said Anderson.
Negotiations continue, but as of 9 p.m. Sunday, Congress had recessed until Monday morning. Then, legislators will have about 14 hours left, leaving Omaha residents like Nancy Clark hoping Washington gets something done for her family.
"I would say, put the coffee down and get some real things done," said Clark.

23 February 2018
Just over a week out from the big race day in Taupo (March 3rd) and loving his new nickname, the Estimator at Dysart Holdings in Auckland is hoping to inspire others like him to get off the couch and take up exercise – maybe even an IRONMAN.
"As well as being part of the CTC crew under the Network tri-club with coach Sue Brewster, I'm a proud member of 'Team Bro's', a team formed by Kerrie Blackmore and Johnnie Freeland (a previous Tony Jackson scholarship recipient) who base themselves around getting 'the Whanau moving'.
"They are an awesome duo who I credit for influencing a lot of our people towards healthier lifestyles. This in conjunction with the fantastic work of Wayne and Heather Skipworth, who's tireless effort provides us with the awesome IRONMAORI, an inspirational platform to have in our sport of triathlon.
"When you join Team Bro's, you have to come up with a 'Bro name' as in Kerrie alias 'Mama Bro' or Johnny 'Papa Bro', the list goes on to well over one hundred 'Bro' names. Mind is 'GI Bro' in reference to the suburb I was born and raised - Glen Innes. This is something I'm staunchly proud of. Glen Innes is a hard-working class suburb that had a real Hapu feel to the place, everyone from there is connected in some way.
"My group of mates I went to school with are still the same mates I hang with now, we are super tight, and one of my Best mates Maurice Selwyn passed away last July from complications after a lung transplant due to fibrosis. He died in Sweden where his two kids are, so we couldn't go to his funeral. And he was buried over there which has been the cause of a lot of heartache for his parents. They plan to go back in this year for his anniversary and I would love nothing better than to be able to give them my medal from IRONMAN to hang on Maurice's headstone.
"But I know nothing is guaranteed at an IRONMAN but God willing and if I'm still moving I would love nothing better than to honour my mate's memory than to accomplish this and present his parents with it. So yeah being from Glen Innes is a big thing for me, it defies who I am. GI HARD."
At a recent training camp in Taupo, Young and the rest of the CTC training group took on their biggest day in preparation for the real thing.
"We did the full swim on Friday, Saturday we started with a 30-minute swim followed by the full bike ride (180km) with a 45-minute run of the bike, and with the temperature in the mid 30's it was pretty testing. Needless to say, the Reporoa local dairy got a hammering! Sunday was a two and a half hour run, swim, drills and recovery ride, so it was pretty full on for the three days."
Young is full of praise for those helping him and others on his journey, people who don't always get the thanks they deserve.
"Sue is a pretty amazing person, and a wonderful coach, who caters for all sorts of abilities. I've also been fortunate to have access to Andrew Mackay at Boost coaching who has really helped me with my swim, I'm looking forward to catching up with him again before the big day, I really have noticed a difference in the pool.
"Ben Marshall at Performance Bicycle Tuning has my bike race ready, and I even had a bike fit from Karl Murray from Rouleur Cycles in Onehunga, Karl has looked after me the last couple of years and I can't speak highly enough of his service, the guy even invited me to his home on Christmas eve to fine tune my bike after a ride. He also has a race wheel hire service that I find a great option for those of us who can't justify spending big dollars on wheels for an event!"
Young has also inspired those closest to him, with his wife also taking up the sport.
"All this wouldn't be possible without my darling wife Kellie Young, she is the rock in the whanau and through my involvement in this sport she too has taken up the challenge and did her first event at the IRONMAORI 1/4 last November, so I found myself in the unusual position of being the supporter.
"I was proud as to watch her cross the line, I look forward to lining up together for the first time in an event together at the Kumara Tri at the Kai Iwi lakes this weekend, the final part of my build up to the big day, a chance for some fine tuning."
Young has also caught up with Tony Jackson's widow Verna, to find further inspiration and just sit down and chat with about the event and life.

Coming off a 14-8 loss at Albany Saturday, the Harvard men's lacrosse team was looking to rebound with a home win Tuesday afternoon. Hosting Quinnipiac (1-2) in a non-conference contest, the Crimson (2-2) struggled in the first two periods, but turned it around in the second half to escape with a 10-8 win at Soldiers Field Lacrosse Stadium.
For much of the first half, Harvard failed to execute on either side of the field. The Crimson scored the first three goals of the game in a span of three minutes, but then completely stalled, giving up five straight goals.
"I was disappointed in the way that we started," Harvard coach Chris Wojcik '96 said. "I thought we came out looking pretty lackluster, turning the ball over and [were] not fully focused."
The game started with neither team able to launch a successful offense. The Bobcats dominated the possession battle early, but were unable to capitalize on any opportunities, largely due to several key saves by Crimson junior goaltender Jake Gambitsky.
"We weren't sharp and struggled to execute at the beginning," Wojcik said. "We didn't seem to be completely dialed in at the start."
With less than seven minutes left in the first quarter, a Harvard attackman was able to draw two defenders before wheeling it around the offense and eventually into the hands of sophomore Deke Burns, who scored from the left side of the goal.
Sophomore midfielder Sean Mahon and senior attackman Carl Zimmerman quickly added scores of their own to give the Crimson a 3-0 advantage. But the lead would be short-lived, as Quinnipiac netted one to cut the deficit before the end of the first period, then added four straight goals in the second period to go up, 5-3.
"We could have pushed a little harder in the first half," Gambitsky said. "We didn't play well and that cost us early."
The Bobcats took advantage of on a costly series of Harvard penalties. Consecutive violations were committed by Crimson defensemen for slashing and cross-checking to the head, giving the Bobcats a two-man-up opportunity.
Quinnipiac capitalized within 30 seconds on the 6-on-4 play with a score by junior attackman Michael Sagl to put the Bobcats ahead, 4-3. Just two minutes later, Sean McDonagh was called for a slashing penalty, leading to another Quinnipiac goal.
"We want to stay out of the box," Wojcik said. "But those were hard plays. We're going to do what it takes to defend our goal, and as long as the penalties are hard but disciplined, we will do what it takes."
But the Crimson converted on man-advantages of its own. With four minutes left in the half, a Bobcat violation for an illegal stick put Harvard a man-up for three minutes. Schwartz drove a blistering 12-yard shot from the center of the box, cutting the deficit to 5-4 before the end of the first half.
"Adjustments were made at halftime," Gambitsky said. "We realized that we had played pretty badly in the first half but that personnel-wise, after we were able to feel out what was going on, we were able to tell more clearly what to do."
In the second half, Harvard looked like a different team. After giving up six turnovers in each of the first two quarters, the team limited itself to only seven for the remainder of the game.
"We made some adjustments and really came out flying in the second half," Wojcik said. "I wasn't happy that we couldn't separate, but at the end of the day, I'm just happy with the team's ability to find a way to win the game."

In its new ad campaign Sealord says it looks after the ocean - because the sea means everything, that they take sustainability seriously, always take a conservative approach and aim to leave the oceans in a better condition than how they find them.That all sounds great, but unfortunately it's stretching the truth.In one video they say "Sealord tuna comes from stocks where the fish numbers are healthy". But yellowfin tuna has all but disappeared from New Zealand waters, and our own Government has been sounding the alarm internationally about declining commercial and recreational catches. What's more, Sealord's tuna is caught using one of the worst tuna fishing methods – a deadly combo of fish aggregating device (FAD) and giant purse seine net which catches and kills endangered sharks, turtles, juvenile tuna and lots of other ocean life, and threatens tuna stocks.That is not a conservative approach, it is not taking sustainability seriously and it will not leave our oceans in a better condition than they are now. Many of the species caught as bycatch around FADs are in serious decline.It seems that for Sealord, sustainability is mostly about the sustainability of their image.Before claiming that they live for the sea, Sealord needs to change its tuna to FAD free.Until then their talk about being sustainable just sounds like a tall story.
So we've grabbed a copy of the ad and made our own version that tells a bit more of the story than Sealord wanted told.It's a bit cheeky - but it had to be done!Note:We mean no disrespect to the people in this video. Sealord have run this advertising campaigning knowing the unsustainability of their tuna products and the damage that FADs are doing to ocean life. The people of Nelson and other fishing communities around the world deserve to be fishing in to the future. Only healthy oceans will provide long term jobs for the fishing industry.

From your very first day in graduate school, you'll find yourself surrounded by talented people who share an interest in the very same subjects you hold near to your heart. In this way, graduate school is a unique opportunity to "nerd out," whether you're sharing a lab bench with a world leader in your field, debating the finer points of Foucault's Panopticon over drinks with classmates, exploring your most burning questions and making new discoveries, or imparting your knowledge to undergraduates. You will also have to develop savvy skills in terms of balancing an intense workload, managing your time well as you progress towards your thesis or dissertation, and completing your research and teaching responsibilities -- all while you still may be holding down a full-time outside job. Succeeding in graduate school takes discipline, a strong support network, and all that is suggested in the resources below.
- How to Succeed in Graduate School: A Guide to Students and Advisers
There's a reason this classic paper, written by University of Maryland professor, Marie desJardins, is continually cited as a must-read for graduate students, despite its 1994 publication date. Formatted from the Abstract to the Conclusion like a scientific paper, this is an insider, comprehensive, in-depth guide to overcoming obstacles and thriving throughout your graduate school career and beyond. desJardins challenges the reader into thinking deeply about their motivations and expectations, provides tips on staying motivated throughout the daily grind of research and thesis work, finding the right adviser and thesis topic, learning to take good feedback and reject unwarranted criticism, and integrating yourself into the research community.
- What Predicts Grad School Success?
Who better to break down the psychology of a successful graduate student than the American Psychological Association? Based on a number of top tier studies and surveys, the APA lists independent thinking, creativity and persistence as key traits, along with intelligence. While this resource is focused on psychology graduate students, the findings are widely applicable across disciplines, and should provide a moment of self-examination for all graduate students, whether in their first or last year.
- Ten Simple Rules for Graduate Students
If you're looking for an inside look into graduate school life before you enrol, this is it. Ten Simple Rules for Graduate Students was written by a former PhD student and her professor mentor, and therefore provides both a unique personal perspective and that of an expert who has watched many graduate students succeed and fail. Though personal in nature, these thoughts are well-organized into ten simple takeaways, with deeper explanations provided for each one. While you may already know some of this advice, much of it focuses on navigating the unexpected roadblocks on your route to success, and therefore it should prove apt and relevant.
- Publishing Advice for Graduate Students
If you plan on continuing your career in academia past graduate school, the old "publish or perish" maxim holds true. And yet many graduate students receive very little insight into the many ways they can publish, relying heavily instead on graduate advisers who may or may not be invested in the successful publication of their students' work. Professor Thom Brooks' 31-page guide to publication suggests a number of different traditional and creative avenues for publication in a competitive market. He offers a format for book proposals, and explores just about every issue there is to cover when it comes to publication, including the debate over vanity presses. This is as in-depth as it gets.
- Your First Year in a PhD Program
The Chronicle of Higher Education is the go-to source for insider knowledge about academia, and this resource is no exception to the rule. Penned by two graduate school career counselors, this article emphasizes the importance of early planning, learning coping skills for dealing with the grind, getting involved in the life of the department, and so much more. You might also want to consider giving the following linked articles a read: What I Learned About Surviving Graduate School, An Open Letter to New Graduate Students, and How New Graduate Students Should Spend Their Summers.
- Graduate School Survival Guide
Just because you're going back to school, doesn't mean that graduate school will closely resemble college. In fact, graduate school relies far more on self-structuring and self-motivation, and the most successful graduate students are most often those who are the drivers of their experience. Wanda Pratt, a professor in the the University of Washington's Information School, demonstrates what this means in real terms in this Graduate School Survival Guide. Pratt offers tips on getting the most out of your advising relationship as well as the (many) books and papers you'll be reading, progressing in your research, picking your all-important thesis topic, and selecting a thesis or dissertation committee members that will understand what you're doing at a deep level. This is essential, structured guidance at its no-nonsense best.
- Completing Your Dissertation: Strategies for Success
Completing a dissertation is an exercise in discipline and emotional rigor. We've all heard the stories of students carrying on for years with ABD (All But Dissertation) status, and it's a challenge not every student will ultimately overcome. This guide created by three Family Studies professors at the University of Maryland, will give you a significant leg up. The professors offer tips on starting planning early, structuring your project so that you don't get off track, managing your time effectively, getting down to the dirty business of writing your dissertation, and staying motivated throughout what is often years of work and possible setbacks. Of course, there are also tips for the defense itself, and an exploration of the many possible support resources available both on and off-campus.
- The Effective Teaching Assistant
While this extensive guide may have been written specifically for Drexel University, the breadth and the depth of the advice here will be relevant to graduate teaching assistantships throughout the country -- especially if you've never taught before. The full seventy pages cover the broader principles and philosophies of teaching as well as how to structure your classes, assist different kinds of learners, prepare riveting presentations and lectures, and provide motivating feedback. If you find this resource helpful and are looking for more, you might also enjoy this similar guide out of UNC Charlotte, as well as this inside look into the life of a teaching assistant.
- The Successful Graduate Student: A Review of Factors for Success
For a more academic look at the deeper causes of graduate student success, we highly recommend reading this study conducted by three researchers at Texas A&M University. Graduate student attrition rates have long proven difficult to track and research, and are all the more so in this age of non-traditional, online learning. This paper reviews the previous literature on this subject, describes the current survey methodology, and offers a number of interesting results to confirm what previous guides in this list have suggested. Namely, that faculty-student interaction really matters, as do financial aid and a community of connectedness. In this way, this papers provides an excellent analytical backing for the softer skills emphasized so far.
- PhD Comics
This section just wouldn't be complete without a link to PhD Comics, the single best take on graduate school life available on the web today. Unlike the other resources, this site won't provide you with any actionable tips -- just a good laugh, that feeling of being known, and a whole lot of catharsis. Trust us: when it comes to graduate school, you're going to need every single one of those things.

The Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix will take place in Sarasota again this summer after all, with the Sarasota County Commission voting unanimously on Tuesday to provide $79,200 for the event.
The commissioners, who last month had offered less than half that amount, will also provide $3,500 in so-called "in-kind services" to support the race.
Festival officials had set an April 11 deadline to raise the money or shelve the boat races, which are held over the Independence Day weekend.
Suncoast Charities for Children, the group behind the boat race and festival, has held the event each summer for nearly three decades but struggled this year to generate necessary financial support.
"Very few Sarasota businesses came forward to support us or donate since we announced we were struggling to find the funding," said Lucy Nicandri, the festival's director. "We are very fortunate that we got the county to approve this."
The overall cost of the 10-day festival, which includes the boat races, a fireworks display and a boat parade down Sarasota's Main Street, is $150,000, Nicandri said.
Of that, the boat race costs about $100,000 for liability insurance, fees paid to racers, staff on the beach and on the water, marine mammal control and helicopter and crane rentals.
The balance funds the festival's annual fireworks display. Much of that cost this year, however, is being covered by Marina Jack restaurant, Nicandri said.
The annual event has an economic impact of more than $14.3 million and generates 13,000 room nights of hotel activity, according to data from the charity.
Since the charity's stated deadline, Nicandri said that only $1,500 had been raised from local residents and business owners, even though the Sarasota Area Sports Alliance had sent out community notices to spur more donations.
But even before the county's action Tuesday, the charity had some success in fundraising, albeit primarily from government sources.
At a news conference in late March, two attendees donated $11,000 to the boat race.
Last month, the county had offered $28,500 to help cover costs, but race officials said the amount was not sufficient and turned down the offer.
The charity also received a $15,000 grant from Visit Sarasota County, the county's tourism agency, and nearly $36,600 from the City of Sarasota, also for "in-kind" services.
That amount is more than $5,000 higher than what the city donated in 2012, Nicandri said.
Longtime sponsors Sarasota Ford and Gold Coast Eagle Distributing also have donated again this year. Gold Coast's donation totals $35,000.
Dana Gourley, a Sarasota resident and member of the local powerboat racing team Reds Offshore Racing, was relieved to find out that the event would continue in Sarasota this year.
"This is such a key race in our season and it is right in our own backyard," Gourley said. "There is a sense of community at the boat races, and it's important that we continue to support that."
Even so, the race may not be able to count on so much government support going forward.
County commissioners discussed budgeting sanction fee money for the boat race in future years, but that remains undecided for now.
Commissioners also said Tuesday during a meeting in Venice that this year's funding comes with a stipulation that the charity not seek additional county money — other than sanction fees — in the future, Nicandri said.
Still, she was gratified to be able to stop fundraising for this year.
"The festival and race have been a tradition in this community for 28 years, and we are extremely grateful to both the county and city commissions for their support," Nicandri said.

Are there lessons here?
Damage at Sumner Museum
While we were realising the extent of damage to collections after the February Canterbury earthquake, the Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earthquake, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan hit. This was only four months ago and although we don't hear about their cultural recovery in the news, there is information about how the situation has been dealt with there. The Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs has information related to the disaster recovery.
Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs Seiichi Kondo reported that more than four hundred cultural properties were heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. "Many National Treasures, Important Cultural Properties, Special Historic Sites and Special Places of Scenic Beauty have also been affected. Several properties will require a long time to recover, while some are totally lost…"
There is recognition that "Culture and the arts serve the very important role of comforting people and providing spiritual power, strengthening regional bonds, and offering people hope for tomorrow."
Lessons are clear from the Canterbury and Japanese events; culture and arts are critical to our sense of well being. Institutions involved with the care and interpretation of collections and heritage need to be prepared for any disaster. Preparation does make us more resilient. Clear communication, community-based planning and response, decentralisation and self reliance are essential. Museums need to revise and update emergency plans and to reassess risks regularly.We are in the process of arranging Canadian risk analysis expert Robert Waller to run a series of Level 3 workshops throughout New Zealand to assist museums with this process. There are many great resources available on-line to help, particularly disaster planning resources HRRG 6 and 7.
National Services Te Paerangi is working with Christchurch publicly funded heritage agencies who have been meeting to develop strategies for sector recovery and to consult and report to CERA.
Update on the Lyttelton Museum
On July 16 Christchurch City Council and New Zealand Fire Service worked with a team of 10-12 USAR -trained members and nine Airforce Museum (Wigram) staff to catalogue, photograph, pack and transport the Lyttelton museum collection to safe storage. The collection of local and maritime items was successfully retrieved with the exception of some large items that have been carefully covered. The Museum's full collection of Lyttelton Times is stored at the Lyttelton Library. Emptying the building will initially allow a full assessment and then possible deconstruction or repair to the building without any impact on the collections. Retrieval was extensively planned and based on detailed analysis of the building structure, focusing on safe areas, avoiding hazardous areas, and making plans for emergency response. Compacting shelving seemed very robust until struck by the February Canterbury earthquake. Museums have reported shelving jumping off tracks and many items being inaccessible when shelves no longer open.
I spoke with a broker about insurance implications for museums following the Canterbury earthquake (and other recent extreme events). A recommendation is that museums/galleries have up to date facility reports, documented hazard registers and treatment plans. Any risk management work undertaken would be regarded favourably. There is a possibility that museums grouping together can negotiate lower insurance rates.
As a sector we can also work together on reviewing our response procedures and improving our channels of communication for disaster response, develop communication with Civil Defence (that could allow for earlier access to collections and buildings) and find more ways to effectively collaborate during recovery.
Small is good
Wallace Early Settlers Association at the museum Te Hikoi in Riverton has developed a new exhibition on the effect of war titled "For your Tomorrows". This opened as part of Anzac Day Commemorations. Volunteers contributed many hours of research, planning and their comprehensive range of skills to achieve this great exhibition addition. They built and organised everything to a standard that you could expect to see in a larger, well resourced museum. With the assistance of Roving Museum Officer Jo Massey, all was achieved on a slim budget using innovative techniques and researching possible suppliers. Although the space is small the exhibition doesn't feel crowded and stories and graphics are very well presented and it is not cluttered with surplus objects. Dave Asher (President) said that the team had always intended to develop a military display because after maritime stories of the area (including whaling and sealing) "the World Wars had the greatest impact on the lives of New Zealanders and small communities". Personal stories convey facts and emotions. Letters and memorabilia include a poppy sent home from Flanders Field.
Collaboration is good; six museums working together
Standards Group
Six museums in the Clutha District are continuing to work through the NZ Museums Standards Scheme as part of an initiative to start working more closely together. I've been involved in several meetings to start this process and can already see the benefits for the museums involved, especially in identifying areas where museums can cooperate and support each other.
Kaaren Mitcalfe, Director of Owaka Museum comments that "Although we are all committed in so many ways already, without a good benchmark to follow it is easy to never quite get around to it or even to be ignorant of all that is required in a "healthy and functional" museum structure. The Standards folder is an easy-to-follow, join the dots approach to what an ideal, professional museum with all the structures in place would require. For a small museum looking to the future and asking the question how do we progress? It is possible to have eyes opened and increased awareness of guidelines on how to introduce new codes of practice or to develop a better policy."
At the end of this year the six museums will have completed all the modules and be ready for the peer review that will give them more feedback and ideas and contribute to the development of a regional strategy.
"Working as a cluster group to do the standards scheme brings us all together on a regular basis to share ideas and form more of a network. We are finding shared potential to be tapped into. Some areas are best tackled individually, others can be effectively done as a group," Owaka Museum. "South Otago Museum has found attending the National Standards seminars to be very beneficial. Being part of a larger group project has brought about a feeling of optimism. By working through and completing the National Standards Scheme together, we feel the six Clutha District museums will form an effective unit. Further, South Otago Museum anticipates this unified group will be proactive in the future, working effectively to ensure heritage gets the respect and protection it deserves here in the South," South Otago Museum. "Taking part in the NZ Museums Standards Scheme has prompted us to review our structure and procedures, and encouraged us to discuss forward planning with our membership. Reminding us of the knowledge we already have at our disposal," Milton Museum.

COWBOY LOGIC RADIO proudly announces our own 24/7/365 radio station!
Now, you can listen to COWBOY LOGIC RADIO 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!
Don't worry if you missed this week's show. This week's show is in rotation, along with 10-12 more recent COWBOY LOGIC RADIO shows!
Click the player above, and the COWBOY LOGIC RADIO STATION!
COWBOY LOGIC RADIO would love to be a part of your radio station's programming! If you would like to add COWBOY LOGIC RADIO and any of the other great Conservative shows that are produced under DONNA FIDUCIA PRODUCTIONS, please contact RON PHILLIPS with MoJo 5.0 Radio at 800-804-9682 or email Ron at: email@example.com.
COWBOY LOGIC RADIO is a two hour weekly radio show with two segments per hour.
Check out the awesome sweatshirts, t-shirts and coffee mugs now available in The Official Cowboy Logic Radio Store!
COWBOY LOGIC was created in 2008 as Don Neuen's diatribes on social media.
Throughout the next few years, Neuen's rants and raves became popular, especially on Facebook, with debates continuing for days, sometimes weeks on particular subjects such as Obama and his failed policies, the GOP Establishment, RINOs, Socialists, Maxists, and Corrupt Politicians.
In early 2013, Neuen and the love of his life, Donna Fiducia (former Fox News Channel Anchor), found themselves screaming at the television in complete disgust!
They looked at each other, and decided to start their own Internet based radio show: COWBOY LOGIC RADIO.
Donna Fiducia and Don Neuen team up each week to deliver headlines and interviews with high profile guests.
The combination of Fiducia / Neuen provides humor, as well as highly vetted information on a wide variety of subjects from politics and current events, to military intelligent and foreign affairs.
With an impressive guest list, such as Clare M. Lopez, Dinesh D'Souza, LTG Jerry Boykin, MG Paul E. Vallely, Lisa Daftari, LTG Tom McInerney, Tom Del Beccaro, Brigitte Gabriel, Nonie Darwish, Sidney Powell, Amil Imani, Nagi Najjar, Tom Trento, Dr. Martin Sherman, Gerald Molen, Michael Cutler, Gordon Chang, Bill Donohue, Tom DeWeese, and Pamela Geller, Cowboy Logic Radio delivers in depth interviews the far surpass anything the mainstream media can, or will offer. This show is always ahead of the curve!
Within a few months, they formed WDFP-Restoring America Radio as an Internet based radio network, and over the next few months created and produced original Conservative Talk Radio shows such as "Black Man Thinkin'", "The Denise Simon Experience", "The Truth About South Africa", and "Squashing Liberalism".
In 2014, WDFP-Restoring America Radio formed a partnership with Scott James, owner of multiple terrestrial radio stations, including WDDQ - Talk 92.1FM in Valdosta, GA, WJHC - Talk 107.5 in Jasper, FL and WSFB - Quitman, GA.
In 2015, Fiducia and Neuen formed a partnership with Premo Mondone, founder of Red State Talk Radio, to create the Dominant Force in Conservative Internet Talk Radio. And they did just that!
The combined powerhouse of Premo Mondone, Donna Fiducia, Scott James and Don Neuen created the perfect marriage between Internet & Terrestrial radio.
On February 27, 2016, devastation hit the RSTR family, as Premo Mondone passed away suddenly.
Unfortunately, about a month after Premo's death, due to operational and managerial differences with new partners, Neuen, Fiducia and James decided the best and only thing to do was to collectively resign from Red State Talk Radio and focus their combined efforts on increasing the south Georgia / north Florida terrestrial talk radio market.
In addition, the trio of Donna Fiducia, Scott James and Don Neuen will continue to create and develop original, alternative radio programming with a focus on worldwide distribution via the Internet as a tribute to the legacy of Premo Mondone.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the mainstream media has completely failed the American people... Cowboy Logic Radio will NOT fail you!
DONNA FIDUCIA PRODUCTIONS is a Media Consulting, Radio Show Production Company and Media Distribution Company that specializes in Conservative Talk Radio.
We have developed and / or produced numerous highly rated shows such as The Denise Simon Experience, Black Man Thinkin', Blowin' Smoke, Drive Time SITREP and Wide Awake, The Michael Cutler Hour, Squashing Liberalism, The Truth About South Africa, as well as Cowboy Logic Radio.
In addition, Donna Fiducia Productions works closely with shows such as REELTalk Radio with Audrey Russo through distribution to other Internet and Terrestrial Radio Networks.

I can't find any posts about this, but I have a hard time imagining that it has not come up.
Not far from the Rally site is Centralia, PA, the town that had it's underground coal catch fire. It has since been mostly evacuated but continues to smolder underground. It's worth a 30 minute stop to look around.
Google it or use wikipedia for more information.
Here you see the old road that is cracked and buckled from the heat, with smoke coming out. It's sort of like Yellowstone in the East!

Sometimes I forget for an hour or two that she's with me. Sometimes I convince myself that she was only a dream. Or that I'm crazy. But then, for no reason I can name, I'm instantly aware of her company, or I hear her whisper in my head. And that's when I remind myself that she's been there all along, as constant as my heartbeat.
For as long as Lily Winston can remember, she has never been alone. Iris, a shadowy figure who mimics Lily's movements and whispers secrets in her ear, is with her always—but invisible to the rest of the world. Lily has never told anyone about this shadow girl, and has come to accept Iris' presence as a comforting constant in her otherwise isolated life.
But everything changes on the morning of Lily's seventeenth birthday. Her father is killed in a terrible accident. Her mother sinks into a deep depression. And suddenly, Iris begins twisting herself more and more into Lily's everyday life, possessing her thoughts and urging her to put together the pieces of a puzzle her father left behind. The only person Lily can confide in is Ty Collier, a mysterious boy who came to their small town in search of Lily's father, and who seems to be harboring his own deep secrets.
As Lily searches for answers, she realizes that she and Iris are more intimately linked than she had ever imagined. Together, Lily and Ty must untangle a web of deception to discover the truth about the shadow girl's past—and Lily's own identity.

sample (sale by, implied term)a contract of sale is a sale by sample where there is an express or implied term to that effect in the contract. Where there is a sale by sample there is an implied condition:
- (1) that the bulk will correspond with the sample in quality;
- (2) that the buyer will have a reasonable opportunity of comparing the bulk with the sample;
- (3) that the goods will be free from any defect, rendering them unacceptable, which would not be apparent on reasonable examination of the sample.
If a sale is by sample as well as by description, it is not sufficient that the bulk corresponds with the sample if the goods do not also correspond with the description. It is the duty of the seller to make the sample available to the buyer for comparison.

Scaling up processes
"We are working with very small quantities
of compounds so we can put it into biological assay, and
find the molecule that we eventually want to use as our
drug. Once we have identified this molecule, we need to
think about how to produce it in large quantities, on a
kilogram scale. Typically, here we produce between 1-20
milligrams of our compound. We then want to go to the factory
scale and produce it on a 20-ton scale or kilo scale, which
requires us to really focus on our synthesis and make our
synthesis as elegant as possible. You want the fewest number
of steps, you want it to be economically feasible, and you
want it to be environmentally friendly. And that really
causes one to focus on the chemistry in order to scale it
to the kilos."
