TCU's 2012 Big East Schedule....Take 2
-West Virginia
-South Florida
In addtion, he is also reporting that TCU's first home game at the completed stadium will be against Grambling. I know some of you don't like I-AA opponents or bands, but (if this is true)Grambling's band is going to absolutely clown our own band and they'll create additional demand for tickets. OU, UVA, West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida and Grambling is a home schedule that will sell, pardon my french, a shitload of season tickets. I would even wager that every game would be sold out...and then some considering the rumored standing room-only areas in the new version of the stadium.
All this being said, I guess we all ought to wait until TCU announces this officially before we start booking any flights...

Opening the new stadium against Grambling! Is this guy making a bad joke?

I thought I'd heard we were opening against OU?
Did I mishear?

I really hope for OU on the Sept 1, 2012 to open the new stadium -- does Grambling sell more tickets than a home date against Boise St? They owe us! And they have an open date in Sept in 2012. I say go "balls to the wall" in 2012 -- no cupcakes

No cupcakes would be awesome. I really wish GP would quit the whole "we have to play a D-2 school" thing. It always feels like a major waste of money.

VikingFrog: I don't think you misheard nor "misremembered" as the Rocket might say. I too thought I read that OU was first home game?
LA Frog: I like the Boise idea. Of course they would bitch and moan(they do that anyway since last season) because they would want a return game. You see, this year "wouldn't count" since we were conference foes and they already played a game in Ft.Worth.(Bowl game-2003) I hate them almost as much as Notre Dame and Texas!
How about UT once they go independent after this year? They will need to fill a schedule. Gladly do a home and home!

While playing OU in a brand spanking new ACS on the opening weekend of the 2012 season would be amazing with all the hype and anticipation, I kinda hope we do open against Grambling so we can get a tune up before what could very well be the defending national champs.

Windows 8 Fails To Boost Holiday PC Sales
redOrbit staff & Wire Reports — Your Universe Online
Hewlett-Packard remained on top of the fourth-quarter PC sales charts, while Microsoft´s highly-touted Windows 8 did little to spur sales of traditional computers over the holiday season, according to statistics released on Thursday.During the final three months of 2012, worldwide PC shipments totaled 89.8 million units, a 6.4-percent decrease versus the same period in 2011 and worse than the projected 4.4-percent drop in sales, International Data Corporation reported. It marked the first time in over five years that the computing market saw a year-on-year decline during the holiday season, the market intelligence and advisory firm added.
Meanwhile, HP remained atop the sales charts, holding off an impressive charge from second-place Lenovo in the process. According to Computerworld, the leader posted shipment totals that were 0.6-percent lower than in 2011, while their rivals saw their shipments increase by 8.2-percent during the 2012 holiday season.
While Lenovo managed to set a new company record by shipping over 14 million units during the fourth quarter, ZDNet´s Rachel King said the Chinese electronics firm´s gains were "still smaller than what they used to be, comparing them to growth rates of nearly 30 percent seen last year."
"Dell, Acer, and Asus, respectively, rounded out the top five PC vendors worldwide," King added. "Besides Lenovo, Asus was the only seller to post positive growth from Q4 2011 to Q4 2012. As for 2012 overall, the IDC also found HP to be the top vendor for the year, despite a 6.7 percent decline in market share since 2011. Lenovo, on the other hand, grew its share by 19.2 percent."
As for Windows 8, which many expected to re-energize PC sales following its release, it "didn´t even manage to cause a ripple," John Paczkowski of All Things D said. One of the reasons for that, experts believe, might have been the lack of exciting new hardware to take advantage of the new software´s new features.
"Consumers expected all sorts of cool PCs with tablet- and touch-optimized capabilities," IDC research director David Daoud told Paczkowski "Instead, they mostly saw traditional PCs that feature a new OS (Windows 8) optimized for touch and tablet with applications and hardware that are not yet able to fully utilize these capabilities."
Other factors that may have helped cool-off the highly anticipated new Microsoft OS — and computer sales on the whole — were economic concerns and competing devices, such as tablets and smartphones, IDC said. Overall, PC sales fell from approximately 364 million in 2011 to 352 million in 2012 — a decrease of 3.2-percent, they added.

Packets traverse a path when they flow into or out of a system. On a granular level, packets are received and transmitted through receive (Rx) rings and transmit (Tx) rings of a NIC. From these rings, received packets are passed up the network stack for further processing while outbound packets are sent to the network.
This section introduces the concept of network lanes. A network lane is a combination of system resources that are allocated to manage network traffic. Thus, network lanes are customized paths for specific types of network traffic. Each lane can be either a hardware lane or a software lane. In addition, each lane type can be either a receive lane or a transmit lane.
The distinction between hardware and software lanes is based on a NIC's ability to support rings and ring allocation as described in Working With Clients, Transmit Rings, and Receive Rings. This chapter focuses primarily on incoming traffic that is received through receive lanes.
Note - Rx and Tx rings, as well as other network resources, are assigned by setting properties of datalinks. Therefore, datalinks are the network lanes on a system.
On hardware lanes, packets have exclusive use of rings that are assigned to those lanes. In contrast, rings on software lanes are shared by all network packets on those lanes.. Datalinks are configured to share rings for the following reasons:
Administrative intent. The datalink might not be performing intensive processes to require dedicated rings.
The NIC does not support ring allocation.
Despite support for ring allocation, rings are no longer available to be assigned for exclusive use.
The following figure shows different hardware lanes.
Figure 4-1 Hardware Lanes
Figure 4-1 shows the following configuration:
Two VNICs are configured over net0: vnic1 and vnic2. As the primary client, net0 is also the primary lane. The VNICs as secondary clients are also network lanes.
Sets of hardware rings are assigned to the secondary clients. Each client, including the primary client, functions as a hardware lane.
A set of CPUs is allocated to each lane.
The subsequent sections describe how you monitor the traffic that flows through these lanes.

The Detroit Tigers have just pulled a trade with the Florida Marlins (pending physicals) that brings Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to Detroit in exchange for top prospects Jacob Turner, catcher Rob Brantly, and another rising pitcher, 6'8" lefty Brian Flynn (AA Erie).
The two teams also exchanged compensation picks in next year's draft. The Tigers will bump up some in that swap.
Jacob Turner
Jacob Turner showed enough in his 3 starts this year to get other teams interested in his vast potential. At just 21 years old, the sky is still the limit for him. Turner aside, catcher Rob Brantly might be the hotter of the 2 prospect in the deal.
Brantly just performed in the MLB Future's Game and as a left-handed hitting catcher was very highly coveted. He just turned 23 years old and has hit .287 with 3 homers and 30 RBI's between AA and AAA this year.
Flynn has a 3.95 ERA between two levels this year as his immense size has scouts intrigued.
[Follow me on Twitter @isportsJoe or subscribe to our Detroit Tigers Feed]
The Tigers in turn bolstered the weak spot in their starting rotation by adding Sanchez. He is just 28 years old and under team control for a few more years. He is 5-7 with a 3.94 ERA thus far in 2012, pitching for the National League East's Florida Marlins. Sanchez adds another strikeout pitcher to the mix as he has already punched out 110 hitters on the season.
Sanchez started the year as one of MLB's most consistent pitchers before unraveling a bit during the month of June. Tigers scouts liked what they saw over his last few starts enough to send away the once untouchable Turner. Sanchez has a lifetime 3.75 ERA and turned in his best season a year ago when he notched 202 K's and a 3.67 ERA.
Infante rejoins his original team now at 30 years old. He will fill the gaping hole at 2nd base for the Tigers currently being held by Ryan Raburn and Ramon Santiago. Infante is hitting .287 with 8 homers and 33 RBI's on the year.
This trade sends a clear warning shot across the decks of the Rangers, Angels, and Yankees that the Tigers are in it to win it all in 2012. Drew Smyly's spot in the rotation will now be filled by Sanchez and Infante solidifies Detroit's up the middle defense and batting order top to bottom.
Infante's .312 on-base % suggests that he fits best lower in the batting order, perhaps even as a #9 guy, but he could be serviceable in a variety of lineup locations. Detroit will have to make a roster move to clear space for Infante.

The groups talked to students from grades pre-kindergarten to third grade. It was the vision of the school to give the students an opportunity to talk to people in various careers provide students an opportunity to ask questions about careers. Each student was given the opportunity to pick three career fields that interested them the most. The students then had to come up with questions to ask the specialist in each of the three career choices they made. Students were then able to attend the career day event to obtain answers and learn from the specialist of their chosen career fields.

This Friday at Cooking by the Book we had what can only be called a Salmon Salon. Organized by Verlasso, a new aquaculture company, the subject was important: the evolution of sustainable salmon farming on our planet. And, what does sustainability mean for food companies, food distributors, grocery stores and — most importantly — for the consumer.
I grew up in Oregon on the Willamette River. During salmon season twice a year, I could walk down to the river bank, wave a ten dollar bill, and some fisherman would motor over. An exchange would be made. And two or three hours later, fresh baked salmon was on my dinner table. That is real freshness. At other times, we'd drive to the Pacific coast or to a river, and find a Native American by the side of the road selling "just-completed" smoked salmon. Freshly caught native salmon smoked on Northwest wood using centuries old techniques.
In short, I am a salmon snob. Trying to get fresh, good salmon in New York City, and almost everywhere else, is often a fruitless task. Here in the city, even the best fish stores only offer farmed salmon. A taste of that leaves me flat. That's why in past years, we have ordered direct from Pike Place Market in Seattle. You know. The market where the guys toss the salmon around? Nothing can compare with that.
Or couldn't compare with. Verlasso is a new venture combining food science, best practices, and optimal geography to produce a very new style of aquaculture. Their seminar here discussed the essential features of their business. They feed their salmon differently and much more responsibly. The fish receive absolutely no growth hormones or antibiotics. The salmon are grown in water, of course, at the edge of one the driest places on earth: Patagonia in far Southern Chile. One benefit of southern ocean waters is a distinctly better quality of water. Humans have been polluting northern oceans for centuries and there are serious issues with, for example, PCBs.
Down south, humans have done far less damage and the waters therefore yield salmon that are much healthier for us to eat.
Verlasso is rolling out its product across the United States. Here in New York City, Fresh Direct offers the product. On Friday, a nutritionist from Fresh Direct was forthright in the quality checks Fresh Direct made before considering Verlasso. That's the sort of endorsement that you should consider. It's a quality check that none of us, except biology professors, could even consider.
And for me, the salmon snob? Scott Nichols, the Verlasso Director and man with deep personal concerns for sustainability, gave me a tour of why the Verlasso product is so obviously different. He had three sides of salmon:
- A wild salmon with its typical 8% fat content
- A typical farm-raised salmon with a typical 18% fat content
- And a Verlasso-raised salmon with 11% fat content
That wild salmon, of course, reminded me of Oregon days. Vibrant salmon color across the whole side. The farm-raised salmon, had wide streaks of fat, which is one of the resevoirs for ingested chemicals. And a typical farm-raised salmon consumes 4 pounds of feeder fish for each pound of harvest salmon.
The Verlasso salmon, which use only 1 pound of feeder fish for each harvested pound, did have little streaks of fat, but not those wide bands. Scott explained that meant that Verlasso salmon is going to cook and taste much, much more like the wild salmon. And, Verlasso is working to reducing the fat content even more, striving to have their product as much like the wild as possible.
So, from the standpoints of science, business, and sustainability, Verlasso is very promising. The last hurdle? Taste. We had half dozen dishes, both main courses and appetizers, on Friday. How did Verlasso taste? Like salmon is supposed to.
On Friday, we had many experts in fish sustainability here. They have ideas, recipes, and important information. In the coming months, I'll be passing that along to you. And we'll maintain our discussion on the wonderful contributions Verlasso is making to sustainable aquaculure.

A Victorian style sail boat is stopping traffic in downtown Sacramento.
The tower bridge has to raise up 4 times a day so the 75 foot tall ship can maneuver through the Sacramento River. The 1850's replica sail boat is called the Hawaiian Chieftain and its docking in Old Town for educational purposes.
"We teach kids and adults what it was like to live on a ship in the late 1700's and 1800's," said Captain Andrew Malidore.
The Hawaiian Chieftain sets sail twice a day often using grade schoolers as ship hands. To be a crew member you have to go through rigorous training in navigation.
"We teach them the basics of navigation using the same tools used over 200 years ago." Malidore said. The sailors in training learn how explorers and merchants trade goods like iron tools and animal skins.
Sailing trips have to be booked in advance but the deck is open to the public at Sacramento's Old Town dock. Viewing is Tuesday through Friday 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Then again on Saturday at 1 p.m.

I miscarried twins on dec.25 2011. I just spent the most horrible mothers day alone and every where I look its pregnant people and babies everywhere... I have a nephew and my SIL may be pregnant again and it just sucks. Even my man may have kids, its being determined but I really think it will break me. I mean is this normal? I want to break down and cry every time I hear my nephew cry or I hold him.... we have been ttc for 6 months and been together for a year. I just feel so depressed and worthless like I can't be a woman bc I cant give birth. I mean I want kids so much when I talk to my nephew (1 yr) I sometimes accidentally call myself mommy and my hubbs daddy, then start crying. So is it just me or what? And what can I do to stop feeling this bad about it?

Yep, everyone I know is getting pregnant. Even a woman who has stated time and time again she will not EVER haev babies is preggo lol. I'm so happy for her though she has been through a lot and turned her life completely around.
Youve only been trying 6 months. It can take up to a year for a healthy couple to conceive. Are you tracking your cycles, learning your body, etc?
Yeah but the dr said we should have concieved already........
by Gold Member on May. 18, 2014 at 8:14 AM
On average it takes a perfectly healthy couple a year to conceive so I don't know why your doctor said that. Most doctors won't even see you until you've been trying for a year.

Teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Inc. (NYSE: ANF) said on Wednesday that same-store sales have fallen 14% in the third quarter, and that it expects a fourth-quarter drop in the low double digits. The stock declined from Tuesday night's closing price of around $38 to about $33. That is down about 60% from the 52-week high of $55.23.
The store sees its problem as reacting too slowly to changes in fashion, which has the effect of boosting inventories and chomping on margins. Add in too many stores and a commitment to its taste in merchandise. That litany of troubles is not unlike those that faced Gap Stores Inc. (NYSE: GPS) a few years ago.
Since the beginning of 2012, Gap's share price has doubled while A&F's has fallen more than 30%. What did Gap do to turn its ship around, and could A&F follow the same rule book?
The first thing that Gap did was add some color to its denim product line to get customers back into the stores. The customers liked what they saw and Gap found that it could sell more merchandise at full price, boosting its margins. A&F has stuck to its guns and simply has not been willing to make the overhaul to its merchandise that Gap embraced in late 2011.
Gap also closed stores — 189 since 2012. A&F is also closing stores — 180, beginning last year and continuing over the next few years. A&F's problem is that it will not bite the bullet and close the stores quickly. Dragging the closings out over several years will do nothing to help build margins again.
And then there is management. Gap's chief executive has been with the company since 2007, and he has been willing to make the changes that the company needed to make in order to become a relevant retailer again. Mike Jeffries has been A&F's CEO since 1992 and was named our worst CEO of 2012. Over the past three years, Jeffries has been paid more than $107 million as the company's stockholders have lost nearly 40% of the value of their investment. It could be past time for a change at the top.
Gap shares were up 6% in premarket trading Friday, at $40.02 in a 52-week range of $29.84 to $46.56.
A&F's shares were inactive, having closed Thursday at $33.00 in a 52-week range of $30.74 to $55.23.

The other night in class my professor was talking about the difference in the poems we create when we are writing out of necessity, or just writing to write: meet a deadline, get an assignment done, etc.
My voice, words, poems, stories, have always been out of necessity. Almost three months ago I found my mother dead, at 52-years-old, full of stories that I will have to craft as fiction from fragments now. Only within the last month of her life did she begin to take long breaths between answers to my questions befpre responding. I gave her a journal last Christmas and within the following 9 months she filled 3 pages. When I first flipped through the book after she died I felt sad, wishing she had sat down more often to write anything. Then I found three pages where she confessed more than I had ever heard her say out loud.
It is only this year that I am shedding genre altogether. I've said for a long while: I am not a poet, I am not a journalist, I don't know how to write fiction. I really shorted myself out of writing good poems, articles, stories. Really, what I needed, was to stay with a piece of anything long enough to revise it. This can take seasons, even for the most diligent writer. I am slow, I know this, especially when it comes to words. I was blessed last year to partake in VOF 2010, but I was also at a point where any faith I had in my country to change was small. I'd be lying if I said I wanted to infiltrate a realm of politics. I don't. I think most politicians are liars. I didn't see any state representatives during the first day/night of Occupy Phoenix. So where is my place in it? What was the calling to it? Where did it lead me?
I like small workshops and empowering women, one at a time. The calling is always to words. The gem is the story. While focusing last year on articles, a large benefit was developing a comfort with asking questions. Within the past year both of my grandmothers and mother have died, and friends around me have lost grandmothers and mothers as well. I sat around a fire last year as my friend Jenny told me about her Nana. I think I wrote an op-ed article on it. Nothing seemed more intimate at that moment. I found my tape recorder the other day and listened to over 40 clips of bonfire conversations about immigration and sexuality; stories from my friend's mother who is called the fringe dweller sometimes because she travels from state to state taking care of people, returning to us in winter full of story and heirloom seeds for the gardens.
I had one file with my mother's voice on it. She bought me the tape recorder last year for VOF. At first, I felt I had failed because I had only one file with her and so many questions that I never asked. I had Jenny's Nana's story, Pam's story, Sue Ellen's story, the senator's story, lobbyists' stories, random citizen stories....
so many questions that I never asked. Some of them seem silly, like, what did you eat most when you were pregnant with me? What were you going through emotionally at the time? When did you realize dad would never stop drinking whiskey? Why did you stay when he talked to you like that? How come you always insisted I was just like you, and why did I always resist that? Why did you decide to start going to church? What did it do for you? What did you do when you felt lonely? Did you hope to meet someone else? How long has it been since you completely accepted who you are? What's your favorite memory of me as a child? Which part of Jone's Beach was your favorite?
Next week I'll be in New York scattering her ashes. Who says where the right spot is? Why have I not wanted to keep any of them until I think about letting her all go? Why does this gap in my heart feel so much more unusually empty than anything else? How do I feel so far from the great mother right now?
I asked Pam to lay her hands on me earlier. I felt the welling up through my belly and ribcage, reaching my heart; I just want peace. I want the sadness to go, or to be able to control it - I can't - I have to surrender and be at peace.
I had her ashes in the car with me on the way to my dad's house for dinner the other night. I didn't take the freeway. I wanted to talk to her longer. I remember asking my little brother to keep the ashes at his house, but he never took them. It was too much, finding her dead and then holding that box.
I write to save my own life, I am writing out of necessity. My professor asked if we believed we could change the world just by writing. I said yes. I told him that there is nothing more empowering than elevating someone's voice and sometimes it happens when they read something you write, just like that, and THAT does change the world - one pen at a time.
I like the pen. I don't think I like to be an actual presence, in front of people, lecturing, talking, unless it's a small group and I'm teaching a workshop, and maybe that's all a part of the plan somehow. Whatever the plan is. I'm a little mousy, maybe it is something I will grow out of, or maybe it serves me and will serve who I connect to who need to connect on that level as well.
I have been working on a project since my mother died, writing every single day, and sometimes it sounds like a manual for daughters grieving the loss of their mothers, other times it is a hodge-podge of fragments disguised as poems, other times it takes on the voice of a wounded animal, or Mother Earth. Today is day 60 and I am sitting in the garden: lilies, lemon trees, bamboo, bouganvillea, mulberry, cyprus, snapdragons, sleeping 9-month-old baby girl Juniper, and Grandma Pam in the kitchen feeding her grandson Moses blueberries, and singing. I ache when it is beautiful, for reasons now that bloom out of gratitude.

On the PCR picture, you have the 334 band above the 4th major band. So, what brand of 100bp ladder are you using? Otherwise, is there any chance that you have additional DNA flanking the gene, making a larger product, which would make the first (155bp band) and last (91 bp band) larger? In the top photo, if each band is 100bp and you don't have any bands that "ran off" the gel, I'd estimate the size of your PCR around 440bp. Assigning 50bp to each end would give 205 and 141bp bands in addition to the 73bp band.

Karzai, Petraeus 'agree' on Special Forces raids in AfghanistanNovember 19th, 2010 - 1:27 pm ICT by ANI
Kabul, Nov 19 (ANI): Afghan President Hamid Karzai and US commander General David Petraeus had a one-hour long meeting to discuss the former's call for US forces to leave the country by 2011.
The two reached an agreement that Special Forces raids, which the president had earlier said should end, can continue in Afghanistan, the BBC reported.
Throughout their meeting, the president expressed his broad support for the NATO-led military strategy, it added.
His earlier criticism was a reflection of a "mature partnership," his spokesman said, adding that Karzai and Petraeus were still on "good terms."
But a particular sore point between the two has been the night raids carried out by Special Forces in the hunt for Taliban commanders, as Karzai previously said that the raids should end because they were unpopular with Afghans generally, the paper said.
But the US views them as a vital component in efforts to combat the insurgency, which is why they have tripled in number over the past year, it added.
Petraeus sought to reassure the President by explaining that Afghan forces take the lead in such raids, and that senior officials in the ministries of Interior and Defence take part in the planning stages.
He also said that civilian casualties as a result of the operations are small in number and have been falling. Karzai agreed - reluctantly - that the raids should continue, according to one observer.
Both Petraeus and Karzai have left Kabul to attend the NATO summit in Lisbon, where the two-day meeting will discuss plans for the handover of security in Afghanistan from the international to Afghan forces. (ANI)

State editorial roundup
Published 6:00 pm, Sunday, March 2, 2008
By The Associated Press
A sampling of editorial opinion around Texas:
March 3
The Dallas Morning News on voting trends in Collin County:
Collin County may be the reddest county in the reddest state in America.
President Bush won more than 70 percent of the vote there in 2004, the highest percentage in any of Texas' large counties. In Collin County, there isn't a single Democratic incumbent at any level of government, from justice of the peace through Congress.
And yet, something's happening. In early voting results through Wednesday, more than 60 percent of those going to the polls were voting in the Democratic primary. The early voting totals alone will be several times the total number of primary votes cast on the blue side of the fence in 2000 and 2004 combined.
Well, you say, those primaries meant nothing, especially to Democrats. Sure, it's hard to say what these early numbers mean until we see the election results tomorrow night. And it would be foolish to argue they indicate that Collin County might turn blue in November.
But something's happening. Here's our best guess about what's going on:
Obama-mania: What started as a whisper in Iowa and has swept through South Carolina… Some voters certainly have it. And if previous primaries are any indication, Barack Obama is bringing out first-time voters, especially younger ones not to mention college-educated suburbanites.
It doesn't hurt that two of the county's early voting sites are on Collin College campuses.
Tactics: Some voters are strategically using their votes, not just casting them for their favorite candidate. Some Republicans are trying to stop that Obama-mania; others are surely hoping to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. In an open primary process, motive is a big unknown.
Change: Momentum and manipulation are not the only forces at work. It would be unwise to assume that a growing number of voters in Collin County are not basing their votes on the jobs they have seen shipped overseas, the homes they have seen foreclosed upon on their streets or the young men and women they have seen head off to war.
There may be other factors, as well, but tomorrow night, while the broadcasters zero in on the swing voters and the too-close-to-call counties, we'll keep an eye on Collin County.
Something's happening.

March 2
Austin American-Statesman on after the March 4 primaries:
The high stakes battle between U. S. Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic Partys presidential nominee has made for an interesting month in Texas.
Clinton and Obama are scratching for every advantage in delegates, pushing supporters to go to the precinct caucuses after the polls close Tuesday. Together, the candidates have spent more than $7 million in TV advertising in Texas. And Texas Secretary of State Phil Wilson is predicting a record primary vote of 3.3 million, or 26 percent of registered voters.
In all likelihood, Tuesdays winner in Texas will be the Democratic Party nominee. It will be a crushing disappointment, however, if that nominee forgets Texas in the upcoming race against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.
Texas Democrats who have campaigned hard for Obama and Clinton have a lot riding on the fall campaign, too. To be jilted by the nominee would be more than humiliating. It could set back a resurgence that saw Democrats win from Dallas to Sugar Land to South Texas in 2006.
Texas has been a Republican state for a long time. The last two Democratic presidential nominees spent not a dime trying to win Texas against George W. Bush. And before that, Bill Clinton wrote off the state, too, spending time here only to collect campaign checks.
But this year is different. There are thousands of new voters, bitterly divided Republicans, solid Democrats running in statewide and local elections, and an electorate acutely tuned to the presidential race.
If the nominee - whether Clinton or Obama, but especially Obama because he has so energized new voters - dismisses Texas as unwinnable, that could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. And it might doom Democratic candidates who could ride the nominees coattails to victory, continuing the partys surge in Texas.
Its true that Texas has been the reddest of the GOP states for 12 years. But some of that came about because Democratic presidential candidates and the national party have shunned Texas, handing it to the Republicans without much of a fight.
This year the Democratic nominee ought to be willing to compete for Texas and its 34 electoral votes, not wave the white flag and surrender them to McCain without so much as a skirmish.
Republicans have been in control so firmly they are complacent about the fall election. They don't believe that Democrats, wandering in the political wilderness for years, will show up in big enough numbers to matter in November.
Hillary Clinton said as much to Texas Monthly magazine, declaring that Texas is "usually not in the electoral calculation for the Democratic nominee." That perspective gives too much weight to the past and not enough to a future brimming with new voters fired up about the presidential election. And it discounts the 2006 Democratic victories.
Turnout Tuesday will favor Democrats 3 to 1 over Republicans, and that could carry over into the fall. Clinton and Obama should pledge today to campaign here in the fall. Wed like to see them promise not to give up on Texas and help make it a two-party state.
Thats not too much to ask of them after theyve asked so much of Texas Democrats.

Houston Chronicle on representation at this year's Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo:
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has enjoyed enthusiastic support throughout this community. It would be dismaying if many Hispanics, the population's largest segment, felt slighted by the organization that puts on this hallmark event.
For that reason, the disagreement over Hispanics' music preferences needs to be resolved quickly and respectfully.
Earlier this week, a group of Hispanic leaders accused rodeo officials of shortchanging Hispanics in their selection of Tejano Day entertainment, assignments of positions within the organization and the number of scholarships awarded to Hispanic students. They called on Hispanics to stay away from the event, which starts today and runs through March 22.
A leader in the dispute, former state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, said, "We request our friends across the whole state of Texas not to attend the Houston Livestock Show."
One of the points of contention appears to be that rodeo organizers booked non-Tejano performing groups to play at the show's main venue on March 16, Go Tejano Day. That might give the public pause if there were no Hispanic musical acts at all set to play that day. But that's not the case.
Tejano is a brand of music that grew out of Mexican folk and German polka music in Central and South Texas and enriched the culture of Texans of Hispanic descent. Non-Tejano fans are likely to recognize the name Selena Quintanilla-Perez, the artist known as the "queen of Tejano music" who was murdered in 1995.
Unfortunately, this form of musical entertainment appears to have been eclipsed among Hispanic music enthusiasts by other styles. That accounts for why on the main bill at this year's Go Tejano Day are Duelo, a norteno band from Roma, and Los Horoscopos de Durango, a duranguense act from Chicago.
As Leroy Shafer, the rodeo's chief operating officer, points out, Go Tejano Day is not just about Tejano music, but also about Hispanic culture. The day should showcase more than one slice of Hispanic arts. What's more, Tejano bands will perform that day on smaller stages. It's telling, too, that a member of the rodeo's Go Tejano Committee told the Chronicle he opposes the boycott.
Members of VIVE Tejano-Houston, the group formed to voice complaints about the rodeo performers, also charge that the rodeo awards too few scholarships to Hispanic students and hasn't enough Hispanics at the executive level.
But rodeo officials counter that nearly a third of the 927 students who attended Texas universities on rodeo scholarships last year were Hispanic. They acknowledge, however, that the executive committee includes no Hispanics. Those members are elected based on years of service, leadership and financial contributions a merit system that seems fair enough.
Though the charges made against the rodeo are on the thin side, they should not be lightly dismissed. The success of the rodeo and its educational goals will depend in large measure on this area's growing Hispanic population. The rodeo must work with those who feel aggrieved and come to an amicable understanding. By custom and design, the rodeo belongs to all of greater Houston, and all segments of this population must be made to feel welcome and a valued part of Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo events.

San Antonio Express-News on problems delaying the border fence:
A project that was flawed in concept now appears to be flawed in execution.
Along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, merchants and mayors condemned the plan to build a border fence, saying it would disrupt the flow of commerce between sister cities such as Laredo and Nuevo Laredo.
A plan to buttress the physical barrier with a virtual fence, including a network of sensors and surveillance equipment mounted on towers, was less controversial.
Ironically, however, the project generating the least opposition is now encountering logistical problems, according to federal officials.
Homeland Security officials have discovered technical problems along a stretch between Tucson and El Paso, an area where the first phase of the virtual fence was to be built.
The problems, most of them involving the use of "inappropriate" software, surfaced when legislators questioned security officials during a recent House subcommittee hearing, the Washington Post reported.
"While there is clear urgency of the mission, we want to make sure we do this right," Gregory Giddens, a Homeland Security official, told the Post.
Border security must be a key component of any comprehensive immigration reform package, but officials should have been more careful about proceeding with a solid, reasonable plan.
The virtual fence, originally scheduled for completion by the end of this year, has been pushed back to the end of 2011.
The government has already spent approximately $80 million on the shaky project, with the prospect of millions more to solve the technical glitches.
Immigration reform is a hot-button issue, but there are no quick fixes, and officials do themselves no favors if they rush through projects that require due diligence.

Odessa American on the Texas Forest Service:
Perhaps we should borrow a familiar advertising slogan to explain how West Texans appreciate the help being offered each time a grass fire gets out of hand oh thank heaven for the Texas Forest Service.
You can't help but wonder what misfortune might have occurred in the past few weeks without the wealth of services and expertise rolled out by that agency.
To some extent, we've been real lucky in the Permian Basin. An abundance of undergrowth due to last years above-average moisture in the area leaves plenty of fuel for wildfires when conditions this dry exist. But the massive fires that have erupted in this region, including the one that burned more than 5,000 acres just southeast of Odessa, have been contained to mostly vacant land.
For the most part, structures have been spared. And no lives have been lost. It was fortunate that the high winds that fanned the blaze near Odessa were blowing away from populated areas.
At the same time, the hard work of hundreds of area firefighters and the Texas Forest Service had to work feverishly to head off the flames as they neared residences as well as the Bob Derrington Water Reclamation Plant.
Yes, evacuations have taken place in some instances. But that is just a sign that area firefighters are on top of their game. So far, we havent had to witness a repeat of the December 2005 fires that wiped out a significant part of the town of Cross Plains in the Abilene area.
As the fire danger continues to be a concern, fire departments across Texas are on high alert. As Taner Drake, assistant chief for the Odessa Fire Department explained, "Were basically going to make sure everything is ready to go in case a big grass fire breaks out. We're going to try to make sure our equipment is ready, and we have an overtime list just in case a fire gets too bad, and we need extra men at the scene."
And recent events also have imparted some valuable knowledge to those who may literally be in the line of fire. West Odessa Volunteer Fire Chief Jimmy Ellis said he hopes the department takes more caution at the next fire.
"We need to make sure we don't mess up our equipment next time," Ellis said. "Some of the fire trucks only had a few scratches, but we were lucky. Those pumpers we have shouldnt have been that deep in the fire. Were lucky they werent seriously damaged."
But that's where the Texas Forest Service comes in. Ellis pointed out that agency has the right equipment to go deep into fires. What's more, the state agency has the ability to call in aerial support to help extinguish raging range fires.
John Bear, Texas Forest Service public information officer, said forest service crews are to be ready at a moment's notice. "We definitely wont have our guard down in the upcoming days," he said. "We have people ready to roll at any moment a grass fire breaks out."
Bear said all of the Texas Forest Service members are under "three-minute notification."
"They have three minutes to be in their truck and to be heading toward wherever a major fire is going to be," he said.
More than a quarter million acres of land have been scorched in this area alone. But the forest service is charged with monitoring the entire state.
As dry as Texas is this year, thats a massive job to undertake. But a lot of dedicated firefighters from both the local and state ranks have accomplished some remarkable results.
And we have the opportunity to make their jobs a little less challenging and dangerous by being extremely careful not to do anything, from flicking a cigarette to burning things outdoors, that might touch off yet another grass fire.

Bruce was selected because of his status in Gotham in the first place. "As Gotham's favorite son, you will be ideally placed...".
But again, you're arguing major differences, and somehow saying that their motives are exactly the same, when they aren't. Ra's didn't steal the microwave emitter to spite Bruce. Ra's was already full steam ahead on destroying Gotham, with or without Bruce. The only thing that Ra's did to seek revenge on Bruce, was burn down the manor. Other than that, it was still the same plan from the beginning.
They needed Wayne Enterprises to accomplish their mission. We're not shown any comparable corporation within Gotham. His biggest rival, Daggett is into cement pouring. Wayne was the one guy within Gotham who had the resources, and they turned his wealth against his city. The whole point is Bruce Wayne IS Gotham. Attacking one is attacking the other. That's how it coincides. The biggest thing that they do
out of revenge is keep him alive instead of killing him, so he can watch their plan unfold. If revenge/hatred wasn't a factor, Talia would have had Bane kill him, instead of just break him, just like they killed Daggett when they got what they wanted from him.
See the thing is, you keep acting like Bruce is the only person in the word who has a nuke. Talia waited specifically for Bruce to agree to use his energy project, so they could use that against him specifically. If they wanted a nuke to blow up Gotham, they could have got one 8 years before Bruce was finally stranglehold into agreeing into the energy project with Tate/Talia.
It's like how Rachel tells Bruce in Batman Begins, justice and revenge are never the same. The fact that the LOS' ideals are tainted by revenge here is what makes it so evil and twisted. So in that sense, yes I can agree that revenge was a huge factor.
But I think Bane and Talia fully believe that their entire plan is bringing justice and is fulfilling the goals of Ra's' global ideals.
Similar thing with Two-Face in TDK. His killing spree is driven by revenge for Rachel's murder, but there's some sense of justice there too...he's taking out a lot of the trash and he's giving his victims a "fair" chance, same one Rachel had. That line between justice and revenge is something the films were always exploring, obviously starting with Batman himself.
I don't see it this way, at all. Again, Ra's ideals were to bring balance to the world, not chaos or destruction due to revenge. Like its been brought up before, Gotham was not even close to a state of needing to be destroyed, so in reality, they're not fulfilling Ra's destiny, if they were, they would be attacking a city that needed to be "purged". But seeing as how they went through SOOOOO many efforts to cripple, both financially and physically, while spitting in Bruce's face, I don't see how it can be anything other than revenge. None of it adds up to what you're saying.

Bang! Bang!
Just like that, with early first-half goals by Paulo da Silva and Amaury Ponce, Toluca shut out Cruz Azul 2-0 on Thursday night in Mexico City and can taste Mexican First Division title No. 9 with a game to go.
The Diablos will get to finish off the aggregate-scoring final Sunday at home in Nemesio Diez Stadium, a place that seldom sees Toluca lose.
Cruz Azul was supposed to be the aggressor, but in between being stunned early in the game (remind you of anyone) and going back to shooting offensive blanks, La Maquina lost its composure quickly and could never recover.
Toluca dominated the match by doing what they do best, playing solid defense and taking care of the ball.
Is La Maquina doomed? There are still 90 minutes to be played, but all signs point to Cruz Azul having to wait a little longer for a championship (as if 11 years isn't long enough).
Your take: Did you watch the match? Does Cruz Azul have a chance?

Goleta Beach Park is a treasured asset in the Goleta community. Major decisions are being made at the Santa Barbara County level about the future of our beloved park.
A new program, called Goleta Beach 2.0, is being considered by the county and would include action items that Friends of Goleta Beach Park and the Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce are opposed to, including:
» Removal of150 parking spots (20 percent of all spaces at the park) on the west end
» Removal of all the rock revetments on the west end in a process known as "managed retreat"
» Moving all underground utility lines landward of the existing bike path
» Moving the west-end restrooms once the first major winter storm penetrates landward that would put such in harm's way, knowing that there is no protection from the existing rock revetment
The reason for these actions is that our county supervisors have assumed that future sea-level rise coupled with major storm surges will eventually put most of our park underwater. They are therefore ready to adopt a new concept called "managed retreat," which essentially says that the sea should prevail and landward structures and assets should not be protected but moved inland.
What's next?
The Goleta City Council is not the decision-maker on this program, but it has an important role to play in communicating to the county the importance of this recreational beach to our Goleta community. The City Council is holding a hearing at 6 p.m. July 16 to hear from the county about the county's plans for the park.
The council should hear from you, as well. Please let your City Council members know by phone or email or by personally attending the July 16 meeting to say you want to save Goleta Beach Park and that you are not in favor of "managed retreat" that is included in Goleta Beach 2.0.
How can we make an impact at the county level? We need to send our message to the county to reject Goleta Beach 2.0 but consider recommendation in the Alternative No. 2 in the DEIR. Alternative No. 2 would permit the existing buried rocks for 10 years and experiment with different eco-friendly alternative revetment measures at locations not currently protected on the west side. A DEIR public hearing is scheduled for 5 p.m. July 23 at the county Planning Hearing Room at the County Administration Building, 105 E. Anapamu St. in Santa Barbara.
Letters and emails also should be submitted to:
Alex Tuttle
Planning Department, County of Santa Barbara,
123 E. Anapamu St.
Santa Barbara 93101-2058
Supervisor Janet Wolf, Second District
105 E. Anapamu St.
Santa Barbara 93101
The DEIR public hearing is July 23 at 5:00, at the County Planning Hearing Room. Let the county know that you want to save Goleta Beach Park and you are not in favor of "managed retreat" that is included in Goleta Beach 2.0.

A glaring fashion "don't" has an appeal akin to the mythological Medusa; while you try hard not to stare, sometimes it's impossible to look away. Cruise ships have both written and unwritten wardrobe guidelines, yet, despite the obvious -- say, no jeans on formal night -- some passengers still don't catch on.
Every cruiser has encountered someone whose onboard style has seemed inappropriate -- whether it's as simple as a lack of taste (high-waters aren't necessary for the high seas) or something more dramatic, like exposure to places where the sun doesn't -- or shouldn't -- shine.
We've compiled a list of nine cruise fashion faux pas, drawn from our own experiences and from those of our members. Plus Kelly Nishimoto, host of TLC's "Something Borrowed, Something New" is onboard to add some of her expert tips.
The self-taught fashion designer and creator of Los Angeles-based clothing line and shop Cute Booty Lounge has worked with celebrities like Madonna and Demi Moore. Her advice is always the same: "Be comfortable, first of all. Then show bits of your personality."
If you follow these rules, you might not make the Lido Deck best-dressed list, but you will avoid becoming a fashion fool on your next cruise.

No Bathrobes Outside the Spa or Your Cabin
It can't be that hard to pack loose-fitting loungewear for when you want to be comfy. Bathrobes are intimate articles of clothing that aren't meant to be worn like ponchos over your birthday suit. Even worse is donning them at the buffet, as our members have documented in our forums; food and private parts do not go together in public.
Kelly says: "Totally unacceptable on all levels, especially if there are kids around."

No Speedos at the Pool
Once dubbed a crime against fashion, the Speedo has made a return in recent years, thanks to hunks like David Beckham and Hugh Grant sporting these tight togs. But we still don't like seeing them on our cruises. Unless you're built like a soccer-playing heartthrob, we recommend avoiding this one on the pool deck.

No Fanny Packs on Shore Tours
We're perplexed by the fanny pack phenomenon. How do stores still make money off these things? Aside from being downright silly looking, they give off an impression of being naive and inexperienced, which can put you in a vulnerable state. This is one '80s fad we don't want to come back.
Kelly says: "I have to say, I'm not against fanny packs! But it has to be one of those leather pouches or oversized clutches that can attach to a belt. High-end wallet and bag companies make them."

No Hawaiian Button-downs on Nontropical Itineraries
You might be feeling giddy about your upcoming cruise to Alaska. But just because you're finally going on vacation doesn't mean you should pack that token Hawaiian party shirt you sport on Caribbean itineraries. Pack for the destination, not just any vacation.

No T-shirts You Bought at the Previous Port
We don't blame you for loving the Bahamas. But please leave the "I Heart Nassau" T-shirt you just bought in your suitcase. In fact, don't even buy the darn thing. (The odds are slight it was made anywhere close to port.) Bring the local flavor home with you by putting your money toward a memorable keepsake, like handmade jewelry or a painting by a local artist.
Kelly says: "If I bought one, I'd never wear it again. The only exception is if you ran out of clothes or you're freezing [if you buy a sweatshirt]. If you think you're going to get cold, roll up the sweater and stick it in your modern fanny pack."

A woman's purse is like a black hole, filled with credit cards, an assortment of lipstick colors, perfume, a pharmacy, perhaps a few snack bars, loose expired coupons, a bundle of old receipts (because it's important to remember you spent $44.19 at a gas station last month) and so on. Cruising is meant to simplify your life. Leave the chaos in a bag at home, and pack only the necessities in a smaller purse or clutch.
Kelly says: "You want cheap chic. If a drop of saltwater got on [my favorite bag], I'd cry. You want something that's disposable if it has to be."

No Expensive Jewelry During Water Activities
Someday, divers are going to make a fortune off all the wedding bands at the bottom of the ocean. Do unto your expensive jewelry as Michael Douglas did to El Corazon in the action-adventure love story, "Romancing the Stone" (even if that means removing it from an alligator's mouth). If you insist on bringing your most prized possessions on a cruise in the first place, then make sure they're locked in the safe before you head out on your shore excursion.

No String Bikinis on the Waterslide
If you rock bikinis, you know they're the best when you need to get some color without worrying about awkward tan lines. But they're the worst for waterslides. (If you haven't lived this horror story, we're sure you've heard of it.) Leave the ta-tas in your triangle top, and bring something with a little more coverage if you want to make a splash.
Kelly says: "Fashion is all about fit. If you have the body, wear it, but keep it contained. There's nothing wrong with sexy, but keep it regal: 'Victoria's Secret' sexy, not 'behind closed doors' sexy."

No Wet Bathing Suits in Casual Dining Areas
No one wants to sit on damp butt-cheek imprints when they're chowing down for lunch. So don't be that passenger who sits down in the buffet, drenched in a concoction of chlorinated water and sunscreen, and leaves his mark for an unsuspecting victim. We know -- especially with kids -- that food breaks from the pool are meant to be quick. But a mere three minutes of hair rinsing, towel drying and tossing on some cotton shorts can go a long way.
