Our weekly college football shame index.
The Weekend in Shame
Missouri 51, Tennessee 48: "Derek Dooley's SEC Wins" is the saddest Jeopardy! category, mostly because you can't fill the column when you have only four potential answers. Getting that elusive fifth would require something resembling a defense, however, and that doesn't seem to be part of Dooley's wish list—in his three seasons, the Volunteers have allowed a conference opponent to score at least 30 points 14 times. From 2003 to 2009, that happened on only 13 occasions.
Tennessee's defense has already given up 370 points; the 2011 team gave up 271 points all season. Thirteen more points, and this year's edition will go down as the worst scoring defense in the program's recorded history. The Vols have already set a school record for the longest streak of allowing 25 points or more—eight games—and there are two opponents left on the schedule. (OK, one-and-a-third opponents.)
Importantly, the Vols aren't just bad on a macro level; on Saturday, they allowed Missouri's Kendial Lawrence to break 150 yards rushing for the first time in his career and yielded 312 second-half yards to a Tiger offense that was averaging only 319 a game. It is entirely possible that Tennessee's defensive playbook is an L.L. Bean catalog.
A final point: "We need to beat Vanderbilt and Kentucky to make a bowl game" is something Volunteer fans have had to think every year of Derek Dooley's tenure. That's so depressing I have to come up with a new word for this emotion: sadenfreude.
Massachusetts 22, Akron 14: The Minutemen were eventually going to get their first win as an FBS program, but congratulations are due to Akron all the same for this particular ignominy. UMass came into this game allowing 44 points per, scoring 10 per, and converting third downs at a 34 percent clip.
But the Zips, gracious hosts that they are, didn't tally a point in the first half and allowed Massachusetts to convert half of its third downs. That generosity extended to the passing game: Senior quarterback Dalton Williams threw four picks, allowing the Minutemen to finish with more interception return yards than rushing yards.
Akron has now lost 21 straight games against FBS opponents, a streak that is unlikely to end in two weeks against 8-2 Toledo. Terry Bowden is the worst Santa ever.
Washington 34, Utah 15: The Utes converted their first third down of this game with a 13-yard pass to Luke Matthews that took the offense into Washington territory. Congratulations! You have now completed "Utah's Third-Down Successes Last Week," the first in an ongoing series of courses brought to you by the Deadspin Online College of Football and TV/VCR Repair.
That 13-yard catch also represented about a quarter of the Utah passing attack for the evening, the worst team tally since a 2006 loss to Boise State. The Utes registered only two completions in the second half, both of which came in the third quarter. Tip: "Both" is not the adjective you want applied to your passing attack, unless it's modifying "99-yard touchdowns."
Utah also remains one of only three schools in the nation without an offensive play of 50 yards or longer. (Explosives are illegal in the Beehive State, however, which is why the traditional Fourth of July celebration involves making macaroni art that looks like John Stockton.) The Utes have already recorded the most losses in a season during the Meyer-Whittingham era, and, yes, that does sound like a pharmaceutical company, but pharmaceuticals are also illegal in Utah.
Elsewhere in Shame
UNC becomes the first ACC school in 25 games to let Georgia Tech throw for 200 yards in, and the Tar Heels give up the most points to Tech of any FBS school in 11 years! The Atlantic Coast Conference! It's like a mayonnaise taste test!
West Virginia has now given up at least 39 points in six straight games. The FBS record is seven, and oh look, an Oklahoma game on the horizon! A month ago this was the No. 5 team in the nation, which is a reminder that people are stupid and like sparkly things.
1976: the last time Auburn was shut out by Georgia. 1946: the last time a game in this rivalry was more lopsided than Saturday's 38-0. These were both better years for the Tigers, however, because Gene Chizik hadn't been born yet.
The Week Ahead in Shame
Florida State plays a Maryland team that will have three more dead players by the time you finish reading this sentence. Not "out for the season." DEAD.
Iowa travels to Michigan hoping to beat the Wolverines for the fourth time in a row because Michigan Men don't need nice things to be happy. Knowledge is its own victory.
Clemson has won seven games in a row. Tom O'Brien operates NC State in a manner solely designed to ruin the happiness of others. You can already see Dabo Swinney kicking his shoes off in anger after the Wolfpack win this with a late field goal, can't you?

Education In Human Values
News Agency of Kashmir
Sadakat Malik
Shri Sathya Sai Baba has beautifully quoted:
"If human values take root in the educational system, the emerging individuals will have the following attributes: they will want peace & justice in a world that acknowledges the rule of law and in which no nation or individual need live in fear; freedom and self reliance to be available to all; the dignity & work of every person to be recognized & safeguarded; all people to be given an opportunity to achieve their best in life; and they will seek equality before the law and the equality of opportunity for all."
Unfortunately, the scheme of strengthening education in human values (EHV) appears to have very little planned the picture seemed different in the country's educational institutions besides launch of policies and programmes. The central legislations has failed at the very beginning. The NCERT as a central resource centre for value education resulted futile, as the agency has failed at the very essence to reach the target. Mere publications on the part of National resource centre on value education by the NCERT at the centre will not serve the purpose.
The organization of teacher training seminars at national level is not a remedy to re-exhibit the values among so called teachers and people in governance. The teachers need to be taught the basic ethics as to how to talk and act with the learning posterity. The monitoring and training resource centres at local level may prove herculean for inculcation of value among all the people. Moreover, A draft curriculum for teacher training acknowledges several problems in preparing teachers properly for the classroom and imbibe in them values.
Historically. Education about India's common cultural heritage has been identified in para 3.4 of National Policy on Education as one of the core areas under the National System of Education. The common core will include the history of India's freedom movement, the constitutional obligations and other content essential to nurture national identity. These elements will cut across subject areas and will be designed to promote values such as India's common cultural heritage, egalitarianism, democracy and secularism, equality of the sexes, protection of the environment, removal of social barriers, and observance of the small family norm and inculcation of the scientific temper.
The National Policy on Education (para 8.4 and 8.5) has laid
considerable emphasis on value education by highlighting the need to make
education a forceful tool for cultivation of social and moral values.
A Central Sector- Scheme of Assistance to Agencies for Strengthening Culture/Art/ Values in Education and for Assistance to Educational Institutions implementing Innovative Programme was formulated in 1987-88. It provided for financial assistance on 100% basis to projects/proposals screened by duly constituted Grants-in-Aid Committee of the Ministry. In July 1990, a decision was taken in the Ministry to set up a working group to review the scheme to make it more purposeful. Accordingly, a working group was constituted with the officers.
Of the Ministry and experts from premier resource institutions of the country
engaged in strengthening cultural and artistic inputs in education.
The recommendations made by the working group were examined in the Ministry carefully and a decision was taken that the process of strengthening cultural and value inputs in education should be extended to the non-formal sector also. The Scheme was revised and reformulated in 1992 which is known as the Scheme of Financial Assistance for Strengthening Culture and Values in
Nevertheless, In January 1997, the Government of India entrusted to Tata Institute of Social Science, Bombay (TISS) a project of an evaluation study of the working of the scheme. TISS submitted a report in April, 1999 which recommended for continuation of the scheme which should have essential components like involvement of community and evolving teaching strategies for a lasting impact on students. The scheme was given adequate publicity. Services of District Institute of Education and Training (DIETs), State Council of Educational Research and training, (SCERT) Panchayat etc was effectively utilized. The report was examined in the Department and it was agreed that the scheme can be continued.
The Department related Parliamentary Standing Committee in its 81st Report under Shri S. B. Chavan has also recommended that Education should highlight multifaceted development of human beings and the programme of Education in Human Values (EHV) should be built around core universal human values like Truth, Love, Peace, Righteous Conduct and Non-Violence. The focus of value education should be more at primary stage through stories/folk songs/folklores/skits/flip charts/film strips National Cadet Corps (NCC), Scouts and Guides need to be promoted. The committee stressed that the teacher who has an important role should be encouraged to initiate innovative methods of values education to students.
Interestingly, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) functioning as National Resource Centre for the programme of Education in Human Values. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and other autonomous organizations and other institutions collaborated with and assisted NCERT in development of the National Resource Centre's In the present times of unprecedented changes dislocating traditional values and creating conflict between traditional and new values there is a universal concern in respect of erosion of values, promoting values and culture which fit in with the needs of the modern times. This concern is universal but is more acute for our country which has leads its own distinct culture, worked view and a living value tradition.
The process of developing in to a modern nation, with new social, political and economic institutions, and with emphasis on science and technology, has thrown up many new values ? Challenges in all areas of our national life. It is important that we examine these challenges and prepare our youth to face and resolve them.
In this regard, Government agreed that SCERTs will function as value Education Centre for training of in-service teachers. In those States where the work of SCERT is performed by the State Board of Education, the later will be designated as Value Education Centers for training of in-Service teachers in Value Education. Reputed NGOs, which have proven track record of working in the area of education, culture, values and transmission of culture. The assistance under this scheme was 100 per cent for all project/ programme taken up for implementation subject to a ceiling of Rs. 10.00 lakhs per annum for a project. Resource Centres and Value Education. It was decided by the government that recource Centres may be sanctioned more than Rs. 10.00 lakhs with the approval of Grant-in-aid Committee (GIAC). Resource Centres for Value Education may be given a grant upto Rs. 30.00 lakhs for augmentation of their functional resources and pedagogic infrastructure. Besides islands of initiatives by Government Of India, the Scheme for strengthening has concentrated only in few locations thereby failed to achieve the desired objective.
The researchers observed that teachers would be more effective if they balance love and care more judiciously while interacting with students. While firmness is necessary, love must play a dominant role in handling students; love and sub-values like sympathy and kindness must get precedence over maintaining silence and order in the class. In this context, there is a school that practices such an approach successfully; the SVV School at Vandalur, Chennai, run by the old students of the Sri Sathya Sai Women's College at Anantapur. The confidence displayed by these under privileged rural children testifies to the success of their EHV programme. Department of Education, Government of India had announced that value education would be introduced in schools and colleges starting with IIT, Delhi. A lot has happened thereafter, and governments have changed; a war has been fought; and that resolve seems to have been forgotten! We are now quarrelling over quixotic issues like text errata. Inculcating human values in children is the crying need of the hour. The rest of the world is making quiet strides by following the lead shown by Indian educationists. One wonders when our government will wake up.
But you know, as in the Sathya Sai School in Thailand, many teachers come from many places. They are not devotees. But then, when they come close to the children who are full of love, they become transformed. And when children go back home, they transform the parents. So, in this way, the society is getting transformed. That's why it is very important that we work hard to set up Sathya Sai schools as model schools in the country like ours.
The country's educationists and policy makers should learn the lesson from Sathya Sai School system to re-imbibe human values among her children. (NAK)

by HUGH GILMORE
In the past few weeks I've tried to tell "book" readers about my test-driving a borrowed Kindle. I've met a lot of resistance from defenders of The Book whose minds are closed, absolutely closed, to the idea of electronic books. They didn't even show curiosity about how the device works or why millions of readers have bought Kindles in the past two years.
Just last week The New York Times announced that it will begin listing e-book best sellers early in 2011. Never mind. The book defenders I met chanted the same mantra, "Me, I love books. I love the feel of them. I just love opening up a book and immersing myself in a good story. No Kindle for me."
I'm here to tell you, gentle reader, of how I, a lifelong lover of books and reading, a person with a large, beloved collection of books, a person who makes his living buying and selling old books, a person committed to saving old, neglected books from the dump heap, a person who gives away thousands of books every year, a person who was a founding member of the Chestnut Hill Book Festival, and a person who has written almost weekly in this column about the pleasures of books (and "The Enemies of Reading"), I, dear reader, have actually tried a Kindle. And lived to tell the tale.
But first: on the issue of "book love." Readers associate the physical object they hold in their hands with the pleasure they derive from its contents. They say they "love" their books as a result. Probably true, but this has nothing to do with the nature of paper, cardboard and ink. A blank book does not provoke love. The reader's love is derived from habit and association. People love both the message and the medium that brought it to them. In time, they would love any medium. Kindle people now say they "love" their Kindle, for example, even though its plastic case is hard and neither fragrant nor yielding, like a book.
Some perspective: In the 1850's, the French writer Gustave Flaubert dipped a quill into his inkwell more than a hundred thousand times and scratched out over 170,000 words on hundreds of sheets of paper. Afterwards, he took "Madame Bovary," to a printer who created pieces of metal type to correspond with the letters of Flaubert's words. Each resulting tray of type corresponded to a page. Coated with liquid ink, the type was pressed onto sheets of paper that were bound into a magazine, Revue de Paris. This journal was sold in monthly installments during the year 1856. People liked it.
The following year those same words were recast in a different format – still ink pressed on paper pages, but different-sized pages, bound together inside cloth-covered cardboard covers – what we English speakers call a "book."
Books have persisted for more than 2,000 years as the best devices for relaying a writer's words to other people. The personal reading book, especially for stories, has been made smaller, lighter, and cheaper, making it more available and easier to use. No other energy than light is needed to use one. Nothing needs to be plugged in.
One can hold the device and see the inked words – usually black type against a white piece of paper – and decode the various marks ("letters"/"words") in a process called "reading." A person who knows how to read (i.e. decode arbitrarily symbolic marks) can know what another person had to "say," even when the speaker is not present. A great invention. Very convenient, but not without its flaws.
What if a device appeared that was extremely easy to hold, weighed less than a paperback, didn't require you to use force to keep it open, had an easily read surface (on which you could change font size at will) and needed only a small thumb-press to "turn" the pages? Would you turn it down without trying it?
And suppose you just finished a book by John Steinbeck, or Ann Tyler, or Stephanie Meyer, and hungered to read another one by that author? Or wanted to read a biography of Babe Ruth or Amelia Earhart, but didn't have one in your home library? Would you rather wait for the weekend so you could drive to a bookstore, or push a few buttons on a device that allowed you to start reading that book in about ninety seconds? No wires, either.
And what if you learned that, on average, authors are paid higher royalties for the "e-versions" of their books? And trees aren't pulped to make paper to print symbols on?
If electronic books are "fads," they're fads in the sense that automobiles were fads back in 1910.
Next week's column will describe in detail what I liked and disliked about the actual process of reading a book on a Kindle.

"So Small" - Carrie Underwood
This post has been started and left unfinished so many times in the past week.
waiting for my lunch...
They showed me more than they know.
My next post might be a doozy. :)
Brave Lovin',
Oh my gosh, Maria! I am bawling like a baby! 1) Because I can't believe you got to take such an incredible trip 2) You got to meet our ever adored Aleisha (and her amazing family) 3) The pic of Steve with the flowers.... ahhhh!!!
I NEVER IMAGINED IN MY LIFE that Utah would be so absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I never really "got" why people loved it so (sorry Mama Leisha!). I thought it was all deserty. I am so taken back by the absolute beauty of the mountains, the shops, the scenery, the churches....amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am blown away at how Aleisha brought you into her home, and took you to all her favorite places. Her family is BEAUTIFUL! And I can see that she is just as wonderful as you and I had imagined! MAYBE EVEN SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!
You so deserved this trip, Maria. I think it did something beautiful for your soul, and maybe for Aleisha too!
I am so happy you got away, and got to do something completely spontaneous, and fun!
I can't wait to talk to you and hear all about it. The pictures are absolutely breath taking!!! I am actually at a loss for words for how completely beautiful Utah is!!! And how freaking amazing Aleisha is!!!!!!
Love ya so much, and so happy for you getting to take this trip!
What a wonderful post! It looks like you had a wonderful time!! I'm so happy for you! I did get a little teary eyed though when I saw the picture of Steve with the flowers!! I just love you!! So glad you had fun! Thanks for letting us share a little of it with you!! xoxo
I loved reading this and all of your pictures are amazing, you soooo deserved such a beautiful trip and I'm happy to hear life is treating you well. Thinking of you :)
Aww, I am so glad you had a fabulous time!! We drove through Salt Lake City over the summer, and it was so beautiful! You totally NEEDED to eat at In-n-Out Burger though! LOL
What an inspiring post. I am so happy you got to meet a true online friend. How SWEET! Utah is beautiful and the two of you sparkled like the snow there. What a truly awesome post. I loved every single bit and part of the story. Congrats.
So this is where you've been! Looks like you had an amazing trip! I love all the pictures :) you guys look like friends who've known each other forever!
To answer your question we are not "too far" from the falls, not too close but it's a drive we did regularly pre baby. Not sure how often we'll do it now lol I'll msg you on facebook tho and explain better ;)
i am SO excited for you to have met, IRL, your friend! that is so awesome! i wish i had a connection like that with someone in the IF cyberworld. oh, and i'm totally jealous that you got to go to utah. that's where my husband is from, where we met, and where we used to live (still own a house there). we even honeymooned in park city! i completely understand your love of the mountains. i miss them so much! anyway, SO happy for you and that you made it there and back safely. what a wonderful experience for you! thanks for sharing. :)
You look like you could be long lost sisters!!!! It kills me that you were so close to me! Well, 5 hours, but still! We have a time share in Park City, love that place! So glad you got away!!!
Oh Maria, I could write pages on this post! I loooooove Utah! I spent three months there is '09-'10 working for the Sundance Film Festival. I lived in Salt Lake and worked up in Park City, so many of your pictures are familiar to me. Isn't it just beautiful?! And the people are so incredibly kind. I miss it every day.

I adored this post. SO MUCH. What a beautiful story - with beautiful photos. I'm so happy you had such a brilliant time - you deserve that and needed it <3
I'm so happy that you were safe, too!!
Adore your little vacation :)
Maria! I am sitting here in tears, trying to read your words. When you answered that man's question about how long it's been since you've seen each other with 'never', my tears flowed down my cheeks. How can I, halfway across the world, feel such emotion about two people I have never met, coming together for the first time with a friendship that was obviously so meant to be?
I'll tell you how...because as you said, and it's so true, "your heart can be in so many places at once. THAT IS the beauty of it".
Your weekend sounds amazing, your time together you will always cherish. Your pictures are beautiful and I really felt like I was there with you both :) Utah certainly looks like a great place and what a gorgeous family Aleisha has, right? I can only imagine the fun you two beautiful ladies had, you definately did find your way!!
And what a loving husband to greet you with flowers and a smile. You are blessed my friend, i luv you xoxoxox
Hip hip hooray! This post made my day! It was beautiful in every way! HA HA!!! (Imagine Lilly rapping that. LOL! What the heck? She was crazy that night! Hopped up on some of Grandma's magical pumpkin bread, I guess.) And speaking of my parents, that pic of them is so stinkin' cute. It's very sweet.
AAAAHHHH!!! I loved this post! I loved looking at all the pictures too, and remembering. It got me all choked up. I've been in a bit of a fog since you left--part of me can't believe you were really here, part of me is sad it went by so quickly, and the other part of me is a little glum. I miss you already! (And yes, I have already looked up flights to PA in June. $583! YIKES! I'll keep watching!)
SO, SO happy to hear that you loved Utah and Park City and our mountains, etc, etc, etc. Kelly's comment was cracking me up about Utah being all deserty and wondering why people loved it so. WHAT THE HECK, KELLY!?! YOU COME HERE AND I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG! HA HA HA HA!!
I wore my little ring I bought with you and thought of you today. I wasn't joking when I said that whenever I wear it I will think of you and saw a little prayer for you! Thank you again for coming to Utah. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for being kind and generous to my family. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for all the fun and the memories. Thank you for "rolling with the punches," as my kids can be a bit nuts and it can be hard to hang with my crazy fam. You were great! LOVE YOU FOREVER, GIRL!
P.S. The pic of my parents is kind of funny too, because it looks like my mom has one leg! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!
absolue beautiful pics...and the kids are super cute :) liked it... have a nice week..
Maria, what a beautiful post! Seriously amazing. You have such a wonderful way with words and make me feel as though I am there. I loved what you said about that man asking when was the last time you saw each other!
How wonderful to have made such a connection with someone and then getting to meet!
I spent about a day in Utah when I was passing through and those temples are breathtaking! I would love to go back and spend more time there. Seems like such a beautiful place!
Wishing you lots of love and a happy week!!

Maria you're so fun! I love that you go on so many adventures!! This story is incredibly awesome, and I think it needs to be shared with the world so thank you for sharing. Did you take cammy with you on this trip?? every picture is breath taking! I felt like I was right there with you. I love all of the love and happiness in this post, and I'm glad you had such a fantastic time. :) As soon as I saw the pictures of her skipping toward you, I knew this was going to be a super awesome post!!!
Thank you for your comments. I'm seriously going to take you up on those emails. I sit up late a lot with my thoughts, and could really use my vampire sister :)
Oh, and the picture of Steve with the flowers is too cute. What a perfect way to be welcomed home. :)
Wow! What a beautiful trip! I love all of your pictures and more than anything else... Be Brave. Looking forward to coming out from under my rock and catching up with you!
So glad to hear that you had such an amazing time! The pictures are amazing...feels like I was there with you. And that camera...I might just need one ;)
And I know what you mean about worrying about every little thing, no matter how small. Sometimes you just need to stop, realize things aren't so bad...and that you WILL make it through!
Hello there Maria,
I hope you are fine. It sure is wonderful to meet someone for the first time and everything goes so well. I can see that you had a whale of a time with Aleisha and her family. Wow! There are such breathtaking places to see and visit in Utah. All the pictures are beautiful! A wonderful post as always. Take very good care of yourself and Lots of Love, Friendship and Best Wishes to you.
Ahh, I've missed you! I'm glad you're "back". :)
How AWESOME that you've met such a great friend in blog land! Seriously -- that is SO cool and I'm so glad you had such a great experience. Utah looks BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE all of your pictures!
It sounds like you had a great experience -- life changing, even! I'm so happy for you and that you were able to enjoy such a great, eye opening time. The way your write about it makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time -- I'm just happy for you! :)
...and I can't wait to read that "doozie" of a next post! :)
Hope you're having a good week! <3

AIS Proposed Plan
for establishing an Indiana aquatic species (AIS) program and to begin implementing Indiana's aquatic nuisance species (ANS management plan.
Late last year Indiana's ANS management plan was endorsed by Governor Kernan and subsequently approved by the National Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. This made Indiana eligible for a new federal grant. A first year funding proposal was submitted to the feds that was based on the priorities established by the work group that helped develop the ANS management plan (attached). That work group consisted of a broad cross-section of government and private stakeholders that have interest in and concerns about ANS issues. The funding proposal was approved and with signature of a federal cooperative agreement, Indiana is eligible for $72,023 with a 25% cost share requirement for a total grant expenditure of $96,031.
Nationally there is broad and growing recognition of the problems caused by aquatic invasive species. Zebra mussels were the first broadly recognized threat nationally and to Indiana. Snakeheads and Asian carp are now sharing the spotlight, but there are even more ominous species poised to invade Indiana. These concerns have translated into increased funding opportunities. This year there was a major move to reauthorize and increase funding for the National Invasive Species Act of 1996. This is the act that is currently providing the grant funds. The Council of Great Lakes Governors has been successful in getting CORE 1135 funds for construction of an AIS barrier in the Chicago Ship Canal. The governors and respective congressional delegations have been successful in acquiring new monies for Great Lakes restoration activities witch has an invasive species component. Even the State's new Lake and River Enhancement program has an invasive species component. It is imperative for the State to be able to structurally take advantage of these new funding opportunities and to have the resources to carry out the public mandates on dealing with aquatic invasive species.
Indiana's aquatic nuisance species management plans recognizes a broad array of problems and activities that need to be addressed. What follows is a brief description of broad category needs with specific examples. Any AIS program will have the basic objective to prevent new invasions and to reduce the negative impacts of species already here.
MONITORING AND TRACKING – The management plan initially recognized 51 species causing problems or threatening Indiana. Only one, zebra mussel, has been monitored and tracked, but only through existing sampling for other reasons. A planned, systematic process needs to be developed to provide this basic information.
RAPID RESPONSE PLANS – Plans need to developed on how the state is going to deal with new invasions as well as what to do about species already here. The cost of containing and preventing spread of a species early will be much less then waiting for it to become established. To date, there is no specific statewide plan to address any aquatic invasive species. The closest plan is being developed by the Division of Nature Preserves regarding purple loosestrife.
PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION- Many of the pathways for introduction of invasives come through movements and activities of people such as bait bucket and aquarium releases. A substantial I&E effort will have to be part of any successful campaign against invasives.
INTERDEPARTMENT COORDINATION-AIS issues concern the whole DNR. Successfully addressing any invasive species will require the mustering of DNR resources and division cooperation.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT- A AIS technical advisory group of stakeholders will need to be developed to give guidance and public support for the AIS program and specific projects. We need to move ahead with bringing the aquarium trade into the program. That will require the involvement of the industry and public in deciding how best to deal with the over 1,000 aquatic species currently in trade.
NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS-A DNR effort is underway to review and strengthen invasive species laws and regulations. Development of clean lists will require extensive work, especially when looking at new rules for the aquarium trade and bait dealers. There are also many pathway regulations being developed in other state that could be applicable to Indiana.
NATIONAL AND REGIONAL COOPERATION- Much of Indiana's success with its AIS program will be Lake Michigan dependent on our cooperation and support for the barrier in Chicago. National ballast water laws and a new screening process for intentional importation of invasives into the country are required at a minimum to assist the state programs. Efforts need to continue for Indiana to be involved with at least the Great Lakes and Mississippi ANS Panels and the Council of Great Lakes Governor's AIS Task Force.
RESEARCH COORDINATION-As invasions occur there is a great need for development of new control methods and approaches. It will be largely incumbent upon the state to identify research needs and work with universities and consultants to satisfy these needs
It has been recognized by the Indiana ANS management plan work group and Division leaders within the DNR that a separate and distinct AIS program infrastructure and funding source needs to be developed that includes at least a full-time AIS coordinator just to begin to implement the management plan. The specific plan and approach follows.
ESTABLISH AN AIS 600 ACCOUNT – This will allow for tracking of grant money and enable contributions and withdrawals from multiple sources.
INITIALLY FUND THE PROGRAM THROUGH ELIGIBLE PROJECTS FROM THREE DNR DIVISIONS – Within the Division of Fish and Wildlife the current AIS work plan will be taken off the Sport Fish Restoration Grant and modified and moved to the ANS grant. The work plan will be modified to include the following with cost estimates.
New PAT 1 level AIS program coordinator $50,000 New money
AIS Program Administrator/ supervisor 20,000 Existing money
90-day naturalist aide level intermittent 7,000 Existing money
Existing DFW staff time on AIS activities 10,000 Existing money
Material and equipment support 5,000 Existing money
Total $92,000
Since the Fish and Wildlife Fund is low and the Div. is using money that is federally reimbursable under another grant, the Division will seek 100% reimbursement from the 600 account with the AIS grant match coming from the other Division's unmatched eligible expenditures. Should some of the other Divisions' eligible expenditures fail to materialize, then some of DFW existing money expenditures may have to be used as match.
This approach requires the DFW to upfront the salary of the AIS coordinator and would require a corresponding budget increase. A much less desirable approach would be to fund the coordinator's position solely out of the 600 account. This would be a soft money approach with the position viewed as temporary. AIS issues have grown too important to the DFW and the DNR to risk program development with uncertain funding.
The Division of Nature Preserves is currently spending an estimated $10,000 a year of unmatched expenditures coordinating the control of Purple loosestrife for the DNR and the State. These expenditures will be captured in a new work plan and submitted as an eligible AIS grant project. The first year funding proposal calls for the AIS coordinator to spend about 10% of his or her time helping the DNP coordinate this program. The best way for the new coordinator to do this would be the write the new work plan. The DNP is on CMS so this would be a grant auditable work plan. The work plan could be expanded to include all purple loosestrife control activities in all DNR divisions if an acceptable accounting process can be develop for the grant.
The DNR is also developing an expanded purple loosestrife control program proposal to be funded by the DSC LARE program. That proposal will call for about $25,000 a year for two years. It will likely be a contract type project that would be eligible for the AIS grant and meet grant accounting requirements. The first year funding proposal also calls for the new AIS coordinator to spend about 15% of his or her time helping the DSC develop their program for dealing with aquatic invasive species. There is great potential to develop additional AIS projects that are compatible with the LARE program mission that would also be eligible for the AIS grant.
There are also AIS activities going on throughout the DNR that could be used in the AIS grant if an acceptable accounting system was in place. Such activities would include phragmites control on state forest property to zebra mussel warning signs at State Parks.
- Approval and creation of a 600 AIS account
- Approval and creation of PAT 1 PCN for the AIS coordinator
- Approval to upfront the AIS coordinator's salary out of the F&W fund.
- Approval of DFW budget increase for the AIS coordinator.
- Approval of strategy to developing eligible projects for the AIS grant
- Sign AIS grant cooperative agreement.

In December, Chanel presented the Métiers D'Art Pre-Fall 2010 Paris-Shanghai collection in Shanghai. The Métiers D'Art collections are always my favorite because Karl always takes us to exotic locales and the pieces are always exquisitely crafted by the artisans and craftsmen that the house of Chanel is know for working with.
Each season, Peter Philips creates a beauty collection to accompany the fashion collection and for this year's Métiers D'Art Pre-Fall 2010 Paris-Shanghai Collection he created Noir et Or ("Black & Gold"). Noir et Or takes cues from the apparel and accessories collection that featured jet black with gilded gold accents.
I'm very excited about this collection because for the first time, Chanel is offering a black matte nail colour called Black Velvet ($25). The other Le Vernis colors include Gold Lamé, a Satiny gold nail color ($25) and Illusion d'or, a transparent sparkling gold nail color ($25). Though Chanel is no stranger to gold nail polish, Gold Lamé and Illusion d'or are different than the Gold Fiction and Or de Russe ("Russian Gold" from the Paris-Moscou collection). Gold Lamé looks like a more subtle version of Gold Fiction and Illusion d'or is clear with just a hint of gold sparkle. I definitely can't wait to get my claws on all of these!
For eyes, Chanel is releasing Ligne et Ombre de Chanel in Jet-Gold, a matte black eyeliner and sparkling gold eyeshadow ($45). I love the juxtaposition of matte black with lustrous gold. Chanel herself was said to wear gold eyeshadow – one of my favorite eyeshadow colors.
Noir et Or will be on counters later this week for April 2010 and will be sold exclusively at Chanel boutiques, Chanel Makeup Studios and on Chanel.com.

Last weekend, when he saw my car, a store manager said that they would be installing three EV charging stations in their parking lot. He said digging for the cables would being in a few days - sure enough that part of the parking lot is now fenced off with heavy digging equipment already started and a pretty hefty spool of wire ready to lay the connections.
Should be operational in a couple of weeks.
Kudos to Walmart for taking the lead in sleepy ol' 'nati. Way to go!
Don't think Whole Foods or Cracker Barrel have any at their Cincinnati locations! C'mon people!!

DescriptionBased on the animated television program of the same name, Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the adventures of a group of kids living in an Asian-inspired fantasy world where the nations have been divided up according to the four classical elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Within each nation are people who can control that one element, known as benders. The Avatar is a person who can control all four elements, and is charged with keeping peace between the four nations. However, 100 years previous the Avatar had disappeared, making it possible for the Fire Nation to wage a war of conquest across the world. As the show begins, the new Avatar, Aang (originally an Airbender, hence the title of the series), has been found, and now he must travel the world, learning how to bend all four elements and fighting against the Fire Nation alongside his friends Katara (a Waterbender of the Water Tribe) and Sokka (her older brother).
In the game, the player may choose one of four characters: Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Haru (an Earthbender). Each character's fighting style and abilities are unique, and new abilities can be gained as they earn experience by defeating enemies. Items are also available to assist the player, such as armor, chi, accessories, and healing potions. As an action/adventure game, the gameplay is viewed from top-down perspective, with the player battling enemies and searching for specific items required the complete the quests necessary to progress further into the game. The story unfolds over several chapters, and players cannot return to previous areas.
Set between the first and second seasons of the show, the game follows Aang and friends as they investigate the disappearance of a young Waterbender, and find themselves in pursuit of an inventor named Lian the Maker, who has been forced to create dangerous machines for the Fire Nation. As they travel between the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom, the characters battle Fire Nation soldiers, strange animals, and various machines. Some other characters from the world of Avatar also make minor appearances in the game, including Prince Zuko, who appears during cut scenes only.

Name change sought for Fla. school named for Klan leader
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A petition to change the name of a mostly black Jacksonville, Fla., high school named after an early Ku Klux Klan leader has gathered nearly 90,000 signatures.
Omotayo Richmond's petition on Change.org asks Duval Public Schools Superintendent Nikolai Vitti to change the name of Nathan B. Forrest High School.
Richmond says it's troubling that a school where more than half the students are black is named "for someone who would have kept their ancestors enslaved."
Forrest was a plantation owner and slave trader, and a lieutenant general in the Confederate army during the Civil War. Some accounts accuse him of ordering black prisoners to be massacred after a Confederate victory. The newly formed Klan elected Forrest as its honorary Grand Wizard in 1867, though he denied involvement.
A district spokeswoman says the policy for changing school names does not include online petitions.

Local Flavor: A new way to eat more kale
Published in Burlington Free Press – Feb 14, 2013
Written by Shawn Calley, Executive Chef, Amuse at The Essex Resort & Spa
Kale has been enjoying a bit of a renaissance lately (and yes, we strongly encourage eating more of it), but beyond sautéing it or baking it into kale chips, many people aren't really sure how to prepare it.
For this week's Local Flavor, I'm offering up a really nice barley and kale risotto. It's the perfect side dish for chicken or fish, but it's also great as an entrée all by itself.
You'll notice the recipe does not call for Arborio rice; the truth is that risotto is a cooking method and not an ingredient. For this recipe, we're using barley for a more unique flavor that really meshes well with the kale.
Barley and Kale Risotto
4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ white onion, sliced thin
8 ounces chorizo, sliced
11/2 cups barley
1/2 cup white wine
1 red pepper, sliced thin
10 ounces chopped kale
3 ounces butter
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
3 ounces feta cheese
Warm chicken stock over low heat. In a separate sauce pot, add olive oil, onions and the chorizo. Cook until onion is translucent and the chorizo is mostly cooked. Add barley and cook until coated with oil. Add the white wine. Cook until wine is completely incorporated into the barley. Lower heat to medium, and start adding one cup of warm stock at a time, stirring every 30 seconds as the stock reduces almost completely. Add more stock until it is all incorporated (approximately 40 minutes). When you get to the last cup of stock, add the red peppers and kale. Remove from heat and add the butter, thyme and feta. When butter is melted, salt to taste.

Taking the Long View
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 03, 2010
Instead of offering merely supplies to the people of postearthquake Haiti, what if we could offer our ingenuity?
In postearthquake Haiti, as the discussions of appropriate home rebuilding begin, what does it mean that we respond with tents and plywood structures as temporary solutions that for many become long term? With over 1.2 million Haitians in need of shelter in the short term and adequate housing in the long term, we bring resources from our developed nations that are nearly impossible to find regionally. Instead of offering merely supplies, what if we could offer our ingenuity? What if we could look together as globalized citizens with all that our collective minds have to offer to improve the lives of those who are hungry for development, without replicating unsustainable systems? As the rock dust settles, alliances are forming among the various relief groups in order to join creative forces to discover sustainable ways to help Haitians help themselves. ( © Kevin Rowell ) One such group, officially known as Technical Working Group on Local Materials in Construction and informally known as the Co-laboratory, has formed out of a larger group of various experts to explore using local materials in construction, but learning how to engineer them to withstand natural disasters well enough to protect the life inside. It began when UN-Habitat, (the ...

The stars, playing a prominent role in the history of Arda, were created by the Vala Varda (thus her names Tintallë = Q. Kindler, Elentári = Q. Star-queen, Elbereth = S. Star-queen).[1]
[edit] History
Varda created the stars in two phases: first, in the earliest ages of the creation of Arda, and second, prior to the awakening of the Elves. She made the second group using collected light from the Silver Tree, Telperion. These were the brighter of the stars that we see. This group included many of the prominent constellations, including Menelmacar (Orion) and the Valacirca (the Sickle of the Valar, the Big Dipper).
Also created in the second group appear to be many of what we would consider planets rather than stars. These are named Carnil, Luinil, Nénar, Lumbar, Alcarinquë, and Elemmírë.[note 1]
While the evil of Morgoth corrupted the whole of Arda ('Arda Marred'), the stars (or at least most of them) remained unaffected.[2]
The Elves first awoke under the stars before the Sun and Moon existed, and the stars were the first thing they saw. The earliest words spoken by the Elves are associated with the stars; according to Elvish legend, ele was a primitive exclamation 'behold!' made by the Elves when they first saw the stars. From this origin derived the ancient words el and elen, meaning 'star'." Moreover, when Oromë first met the Elves, he too associated them with the stars and named them the Eldar, the People of the Stars.
The Star of Eärendil is a unique case. Following his successful mission to persuade the Valar to intervene in the wars against Morgoth in the First Age, Eärendil and his ship, along with the last remaining Silmaril, were placed in the sky as a sign of hope to the faithful people of Middle-earth. After the war against Morgoth was concluded, a group of the Edain followed Eärendil's star to the newly created island that would become Númenor. Consequently, one of the names of that island was Elenna, or "Starwards". [note 2]
Emblems also featured stars. An eight-rayed star represented the House of Fëanor, and seven eight-rayed stars above a crown and anvil were the emblems of Durin. Both of these were depicted on the West-gate of Moria (the former because Celebrimbor, one of the makers of the doors, was a descendant of Fëanor). Seven stars appeared on the banner of Gondor. Certain jewels are also described as stars, notably the Star of Elendil that Aragorn wore into the Battle of Pelennor Fields. In the Lay of Nimrodel, it is said that "A star was bound upon her brow," clearly describing some kind of jewel.
Other prominent references to stars include:
- The Quenya greeting, Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo (Quenya: "A star shines on the hour of our meeting.")
- Frodo, from the window of his room in Rivendell, observed a red star foreshadowing the Eye of Sauron: "But low in the South one star shone red ... deep in the heavens burning like a watchful eye that glared above the trees on the brink of the valley."[3][note 3]
- Sam's song in Cirith Ungol concludes "...above all shadows rides the Sun, and Stars for ever dwell. I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell."
- Travelling through Mordor, Sam saw a star, leading him to conclude that "In the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
[edit] Names
- Quenya
- Sindarin
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In the printed text in The Silmarillion it is only told that Varda set the constellations "as signs in the heavens of Arda",[4] but in "The Later Quenta Silmarillion" text J.R.R. Tolkien writes: 'as signs in Heaven that the gods may read'.
Note that in the standard mythology of the published Silmarillion, the stars of both groups were created long before the Sun and the Moon. They thus contain the unsullied light of creation, and are therefore particularly sacred to the Elves.
So important was this identification of the Elves with the stars to Tolkien that when he considered revising his creation myths so that the Sun and Moon existed from an earlier time (see Myths Transformed), he still insisted that the Elves must have awoken under the stars.
- ↑ In his introduction to the Index of Morgoth's Ring, Christopher Tolkien identifies these, respectively, with the planets Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury. Most of these identifications appear to be fairly certain, although there are astronomical problems with the identifications of Neptune and Uranus in the context of the mythology. Note that Venus is not included on this list, as in the mythology, it is not a star (or planet), but rather a Silmaril.
- ↑ The Star of Eärendil is identified with the Evening or Morning Star, i.e. the planet Venus.
- ↑ While recognizing its allegorical nature, scholars have attempted to identify this star in the night sky. David Turner, "Stars of fancy" in Nova Notes (newsletter of the Halifax Center of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada), vol. 27, no. 2, avril 1996, identifies it with Sirius, supposedly reddish many aeons ago. Alain Lefèvre, "L'astre rouge de la Lune du Chasseur" (French) in Tolkien, le façonnement d'un monde, vol. 2, 2014, pp. 29-41, argues against Sirius and retains Mars as possible candidate. As an aside note, "Saruman's Book" in Peter Jackson's adaptation includes pages in tengwar (movie prop designed by Daniel Reeve) mentioning the "red star of Sauron" and its supposedly (non-canonical) strange effects on nature.

Hi there.
Checking the downloads section here, I notice that there's no 1.8.1 version listed for older iOS builds. The 1.8.0 version isn't even listed under "Older Versions".
Is there still going to be support in future for older iOS?
I'm running Scummvm 1.8.0 on an old IPad with ios 5, so the 7+ one is out of the question. 1.8.0 seems to have issues with a few games, namely Discworld and Dreamweb, so I'm hoping the devs are still supporting it.
Also, any news on graphics filters like HQ?
No 1.8.1 for older iOS versions?

The older IPhone porter is not available... a new developer is looking at this. Maybe drop a message on his new thread?
Apart from that, ScummVM is open source and you can always compile it yourself... Any help on pitfalls, library and toolchain issues for doing this for earlier iOS would be useful for the porter. See:

Local author Steve Gannaway can quickly sum up Christmas in one word.
"I think of the shepherds, and what they experienced that night," he said, referring to the birth of Jesus Christ. "I think of the wonder of the magi, especially when they arrived to find that the one that they sought was not in a palace, but in a dirty stable. I think of the wonder we feel that God reached out in such a dramatic way to reach our world."
Gannaway has a new book out, "The Joy and Wonder of Christmas," that features poems and a short story about all things Christmas. The book is on sale at Maine Originals on Main Street in Springvale and Treasures on Route 109 in South Sanford. Copies cost $8.95 each and also can be purchased by calling Gannaway at 324-2565.
Gannaway wrote the poems over a period of more than 25 years, publishing them in Christmas cards he has sent to family and friends.
He penned the tale in the book, "The Tree He Would Never Forget," over as long a time. He started it about 30 years ago, but lost his initial draft not once, but twice. As a result, he had to begin the story anew. He's glad he did. He regards the story as the best thing he has ever written. It's also a happier piece than that first draft, he said, because it was written at a more peaceful and joyous time in his life.
The poems capture a variety of Christmas blessings: the birth of Jesus; presents underneath the tree; snowflakes falling on tongues and cheeks; bright stars in a winter sky; the gathering of families.
Gannaway said his book appeals to a broad spectrum, but he hopes families will discover it, so that mothers and fathers may read to their children and share their Christmas memories.
Gannaway finds much joy in sharing his own Christmas memories and hearing stories from others. He encourages others to share their stories with him by emailing them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
He said his favorite Christmas memory harks back to 1985, when he and his wife, Mary, flew out to Minnesota to surprise his parents with a visit — and with the news that they were expecting their first child. Mary Gannaway teaches music for the Sanford School System.
Christmas stories reach right into Gannaway's heart. He kept tissues nearby as he shared his 1985 memory, and confided that he often gets teary when he hears about the Christmas memories of others.
"I've grown a little more sentimental," he smiled and said.
Those who read his book may too.

Colleges Are Tested by Push to Prove Graduates' Career Success
Schools Cite Hurdles in Measuring How Ex-Students Do in the Job Market
College admissions officers trumpet graduates' success in finding well-paying jobs. But the schools often have a hard time getting solid proof.
Boiling down employment outcomes to a single metric isn't easy, many college officials say, since hurdles stand in the way of gathering meaningful figures and conveying them. Others say they are leery of tying the nuances of educational success to dollar figures.
