News within the lighting industry continues to be dominated by the development and growth of LED technology. With the final phase of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 set to take effect January 1st, the emphasis within the lighting industry is nearing a complete shift towards energy efficient lighting designs. Much has changed since this legislation was enacted, and although most news revolves around the coming obsolescence of the incandescent bulb and what alternatives are available, there is much much more to the story.
As 100, 75, and now 60 and 40 watt incandescent bulbs disappear from store shelves, the race to produce an affordable and practical energy efficient alternative has stepped up its pace. The first alternative to gain prominence was the compact fluorescent bulb, or CFL, which was quickly followed by solid state LED lamps. Over a very short period of time the CFL has been overtaken by the rapid development of LED lighting technology. At this point in time, LEDs are now projected to be the dominant lighting technology within 15 years.
The growth of the LED market has been nothing short of explosive. By 2030, the US Department of Energy estimates that 75% of all lighting sold will be LED. When we consider fluorescent and HID lighting will account for a large portion of sales as well, it is clear the incandescent is for all intents now an obsolete technology. LEDs are also a highly competitive field of development due to high projected expansion of LED lighting markets, and several countries are jockeying for position in order to become the dominant worldwide manufacturer and supplier of LED based lighting designs. China is continuing to pour prodigious resources into developing LED technology and encouraging the growth of its residential LED market. China's LED market for 2012 was $3.1 billion, and is expected to double by 2017 to $7.4 billion. On a global scale, China had a third place 19% global share of the LED lighting market, while Japan held first place with 40% of the global market, and North America comes in at second with 24%. Growth of the Asian markets is expected to rise considerably due to fierce competition for market share and the large size of combined residential markets within the region.
A less well covered aspect of LED lighting technology is poised to become a significant contributor to the expansion of the global lighting markets. With the rise to prominence of LEDs has come an upsurge in the development of intelligent lighting systems and controls. Prior to the emergence of LEDs as a potentially dominant lighting technology, intelligent control of lighting systems was limited due to the unsuitability of fluorescent and HID systems for pairing with such systems. HID and fluorescent lighting is adversely affected by frequent on/off cycling, and both types require some time to reach full output once switched on. LEDs on the other hand are an instant on type of luminaire and are not affected by frequent on/off cycles, and in addition can be made capable of variable output levels and multiple color options. This makes them well suited to pairing with intelligent lighting controls.
Intelligent lighting can improve on the effective efficiency and versatility of LED lighting systems by allowing the use of sensors and data gathering to manage large scale lighting systems. These systems can be programmed to run lights only when an area is occupied, and can be programmed to produce specific lighting levels according to the requirements of the location. Intelligent lighting can also be used to project lighting of varying levels to different areas within the same location, further reducing the overall energy consumed even though all of the lighting is in operation in that location. For a large stadium or warehouse for example, areas where human activity is present would receive full light output, while unoccupied areas would receive reduced illumination levels. These systems could also sense ambient lighting levels, such as sunlight entering an area through windows, and dim the internal lighting to maintain a specific overall illumination level and further reduce energy consumption. These systems are projected to eventually be able to gather operating data including peak hours of use, total usage hours, energy consumed, fixtures in need of maintenance, and even predict expected occupancy times and automatically run lighting accordingly. Such data gathering will be invaluable in the future as it will allow precise monitoring of performance parameters and provide the ability to produce accurate energy usage data to use when calculating ROI and overall savings over the life of the system.
Intelligent lighting systems represent an example of just how extensively LEDs will change lighting as we know it, and how markets stand to continue their unprecedented growth and expansion though continued development and innovation. While overall the LED luminaire markets are showing the largest growth and expansion, the market for intelligent lighting controls is showing similar explosive growth as well. Navigant Research estimates that global revenue from commercial networked lighting control systems will expand from $1.7 billion USD in 2013 to $5.3 billion by 2020. Europe currently has the largest intelligent lighting for commercial buildings market, with the United States following closely in second place. This sector of the lighting industry is expected to grow exponentially by 37% between 2013 and 2018. Clearly, there is much more to the story of the world wide incandescent phase out and the LEDs' rise to dominance.
Right now the big uncertainties in the lighting industry have shifted away from whether or not LEDs can be made practical and cost effective, and now revolve around module standardization, global competitiveness, and who can be the first to bring new LED supporting technologies to market. Within a very short period of time, LEDs have gone from being considered not ready for primetime, to having the almost exclusive distinction of being considered the world wide dominant form of lighting within 10 to 15 years.

The human resources department tends to be more busy than
usual during reorganizations and downsizing. And it's not the usual,
happy tempo.
Planning to let go the same people you hired is not a welcomed
task. And the work that goes into it is time-consuming and delicate.
Good rule of thumb, secretive, unhappy HR is a bad omen.

At The Gardens at Post Hill we propagate and display temperate terrestrial orchids, related woodland plants, and other horticulturally distinctive plants. We are constantly expanding the information on the website and hope that you will visit often.
Our SPRING 2018 Cypripedium and Other Terrestrial Orchids lists are OPEN. The Pleione list is now closed as the pseudobulbs are breaking dormancy. We thank all of our customers who purchased Pleione this season!
Access the Lists using the menu along the left side of this page. Pleione will be shipped in February. Bletilla, Calanthe and Cypripedium will be shipped in March. All plants are shipped as bare root rhizomes or pseudobulbs.
Please browse the images below of some of our orchids blooming during the 2017 season.
Some of our blooming orchids, Spring 2017
Bletilla Brigantes is a hybrid of the two most common species of Bletilla in culture, Blet striata and Blet ochracea, registered by Evenden in 1994.
Bletilla Yokohama was is a hybrid of Blet striata and Blet formosana, registered by Suzuki in 1956. Several grexes have been named. 'Sweetlips' (left) was named by Tony Avent at Plant Delights Nursery. 'Kate' (right)was named by Bill Mathis at Wild Orchid Company. Note the different colors of the lips - purple vs yellow. The temperate Calanthe species and hybrids grow well in our zone 8 Washington garden but do not survive winters in our zone 5 Connecticut garden.
The temperate Calanthe species and hybrids grow well in our zone 8 Washington garden but do not survive winters in our zone 5 Connecticut garden.
Calopogon tuberosus requires a wet growing medium. Bogs are perfect. This specimen is in a mixture of pine bark and sphagnum moss and is sited in a pot under the misting system. It receives mist for 15 minutes every day. This species is a favorite since I saw thousands - or maybe millions - of specimens in wet fields every year growing up on the coastal plain around Charleston SC. Do you notice that the flower is "upside down"? In reality, most orchid flowers twist on their ovaries during maturation so they are upside down. Calopogon flowers are actually rightside up!
I am always impressed with especially brightly colored Cyp flowers. We have many nice blooms this season but this Cyp macranthos is my favorite!
Cypripedium GPH Olympic Promise was registered this season by us. It is a hybrid of Cyp Ursel and Cyp segawai. We like the robustness of Cyp Ursel but the yellow coloration is rather weak. We hoped to kick it up with segawai genes. We had our first flowers last year and I was not sure how I liked this hybrid. However, we had several bloom this year and I really like the way the flowers are held. The flowers are more globular than in Ursel and about 2/3 the size.
Cyp Ursel, a hybrid of Cyp. fasciolatum and henryi, registered by Frosch in 2003, has flowers that are larger than Barry Phillips and more subdued in color after its henryi parent.
Cyp Tilman is a hybrid of two large-flowered Cyp's - fasciolatum and tibeticum, registered by Frosch in 2005. We had one plant bloom in 2016 and the flower was huge. This plant, blooming for the first time for us this season, has five huge, colorful flowers on 5 stems.
Cyp formosanum planting in our Seattle area garden. These plants were installed in Fall 2016.
Lady Dorine is a hybrid of Cyp formosanum with its fan-shaped leaves and fasciolatum, registered by Opsteale in 2008. It has somewhat fan-shaped leaves but without the pleating of formosanum.
Flowers of Lady Dorine (left) and formosanum (right).
This is a hybrid of Cyp calceolus and shanxiense registered by Frosch in 2011. I really like the coloration of the pouch of the plants we have.
Cypripedium macranthos var. rebunense is a variety of macranthos that occurs only on Rebun Island, the farthest northern island of Japan. Its flowers are cream-colored or white. This form of macranthos has sacred status in Japan and has been under collection pressure in spite of being protected. The government made seed available a few years ago to try to reduce poaching. This blooming plant and several others were obtained from Anthura via HardyOrchid. We have three specimens blooming this season
Cyp Bernd and Cyp Barry Phillips in sale bed.
Cyp Bernd and Bernd forma album. Bernd is a hybrid of Cyp macranthos and segawai registered by Frosch in 2001.
Cyp Barry Phillips is a hybrid of Cyp fasciolatum and segawai registered in 2015 by the Royal Horticultural Society for Anthura.
Very attractive Cyp macranthos.
Cyp Boots, a hybrid of Cyp. calceolus f. flavum and montanum, registered by Pinkepank in 2005, is one of our favorite tiny-flowered montanum hybrids. We have had Boots blooming for several years.
Several Cyp tibeticum blooming in their bed.
Cyp GPH Petite Delight, a hybrid of Cyp. segawai and cordigerum, registered by Burch in 2015, generally has flowers with pouches pastel yellow, intermediate between its parents.
Cyp Renate, a hybrid of Cyp. macranthos and franchetti, registered by Frosch in 2009, has flowers with variable coloration from this dark one to white album forms.
Cyp calceolus is the only Cypripedium that occurs in Europe. It extends into Asia where it commonly hybridizes with Cyp macranthos to form Cyp xventricosum. This specimen has sepals without the characteristic brown coloration.
Cyp kentuckiense x rebunense is an unregistered hybrid produced by Anthura, has large flowers as does both of its parents.
Cyp kentuckiense, one of the latest-blooming Cyp species.
Cyp Ivory is a hybrid of Cyp kentuckiense and cordigerum,registered by Koch in 2008. The flowers are small, nearly cordigerum-size and the flower shape and color is dominated by cordigerum as well, with some sepal striping that is kentuckiense-like. A very attractive small hybrid.
Cyp Ivory flower.
Cyp Ulli is a hybrid of Cyp pubescens and cordigerum registered by Frosch in 1994. The flowers are about the same size as those of Cyp Ivory but with longer lateral sepals that have a nice "pubescens twist."
This hybrid was made by Anthura. Like many other Anthura hybrids it has not been named but the RHS will likely name it if it becomes popular.
In the older Cyp culture literature Cyp henryi was listed as an easy species. We have found it not to be easy and in speaking to others, that seems to be the concensus. Henryi is one of the few Cyp's to have several flowers in sequence along a flowering stem.
Cyp Michael, a hybrid of Cyp macranthos and henryi, was registered by Frosch in 1998. Michael is quite variable in coloration from one clone to another.
Cyp Robin Lee, a hybrid of Cyp farreri and kentuckiense, was registered by Keisling in 2000.
Two variants of the highly variable Cyp Ulla Silkens, a hybrid of Cyp reginae and Cyp flavum, registered by Malmgren in 1996. We find on our own permanently installed plants that the flower patterns vary year by year.
Pleione in general must be grown in pots, even in Washington, and pots are absolute musts in Connecticut. We have been growing our collection over the past few years. Here are some old standby's that bloomed for us for the first time in March, 2017, along with a new hybrid that has not been registered. This hybrid came to us from one of our German wholesalers, so it presumably originated in Europe. In order are Pl. Brigadoon, Pl. Deriba, Pl. limprichtii x coronaria, Pl. Myojin, Pl. Rakata and Pl. Sorea.

Mahindra; the Indian homegrown SUV specialist has always been in the limelight for the path breaking SUVs, it has built from time to time. In fact with the SUVs' like the super rugged Bolero which has a wide acceptance in the rural India, the brilliant and rugged new Scorpio along with the ultra modern and well performing mile munching machine; XUV5OO, it is easy to make anyone sit and listen about a new Mahindra SUV; such a brand Mahindra has built here in India.
This 10th of September, we are going to witness another SUV coming out of the stable of Mahindra that is the TUV300.
What can you expect from this new SUV? We bring you only the concrete information from as much we have collected till date, no renderings, no guesses; only the discovered hitherto.
A Bolero or a Quanto In Disguise?
Just one-word answer; 'NO'. Bolero; the favorite SUV of rural India for very obvious reasons is still selling like hot cakes. Why won't it sell? It ticks all the boxes of ruggedness, reliability, high GC and exceptional capability of taking on bad roads; no matter if it breaks the backbone of the occupants. Did we mention mod potential? Oh yes, take a Bolero, add some fat rubber with some stylish alloys, some minor tweaks and you have a head turner.
Quanto was targeted at the urban buyer but was never able to strike the cord for obvious reason; the awkward styling that appealed to very few. Very practical and capable vehicle but the styling was simply out of this world (in a disappointing manner) and Quanto hasn't virtually ever took off.
The TUV300 is an entirely new vehicle with maybe a bit of component sharing with its older siblings but is definitely going to be a very different vehicle.
Mahindra TUV300
TUV300 is targeted at the likes of Ford Ecosport which due to their compact dimensions and sub 4 meter length are enjoying the excise benefits and hence with their competitive pricing are enjoying a dream run in the Indian market. Now Mahindra is out with their latest offering to claim their piece of the pie called compact SUV segment.
The Jeep Cherokee inspired front end looks good and commanding, side profile is also well designed but a bit bland at the same time; rear is where many people will find the resemblance to the Quanto as there are minor tweaks only. Rest we will reserve our comments on styling, interior and driving experience until we get our hands on the vehicle or see it in the flesh after it gets launched on 10th September.
What to Expect?
Putting it short, "A Boxy, rear wheel drive compact SUV which can seat seven people, 5 in comfort at least". Going by the boxy design, we can expect a spacious SUV with more focus on function over the form. The engine is supposed to be the 1.5l 3 cylinder mHawk unit that is expected to churn out around 80 bhp (Mahindra calls it mHawk80) of power with a torque rating of around 230 Nm., and yes; an automatic transmission option is also coming in form of AMT; maybe making it the most affordable automatic diesel SUV.
There are supposed to be three variants viz: T4, T6 and T8. All variants are expected to be equipped with power steering, power windows and air conditioning as standard features with the additional features as follows:
When it goes on sale, the Mahindra TUV300 is going to be priced anywhere between 6 to 9 lakh; ex-showroom Delhi as per the information and analytics. Going by the recent launches by Mahindra, we are quite sure that this one also will be priced competitively. Now what remains to be seen is how the Indian buyer accepts this latest Mahindra.

A meeting of the Solo Independent Intellectual Property Practitioners group is looming up on Wednesday 25 July, at 5pm in the offices of solicitors Collyer Bristow (London: address here, map here). The Trade Marks Registry will be sending a representative - primarily to receive feedback about issues like abandoning relative grounds examination, the opt-in and anything else the group would like to throw at them. This might include designs, a subject which - despite the best efforts of some of the group's biggest enthusiasts - simply don't seem to be attractive to their clients.
Right: practice can be perilous for sole practitioners (nb Nick Butterworth's Mouse and Cat on Tight Rope is available from Chris Beetles here)
The group, through its volunteer mouthpiece Barbara Cookson, says:
"anyone who is working or alone or in a firmlet is hugely welcome to come along. But do let me know in advance!"The IPKat says, having been to two earlier meetings of this group, it's must for anyone who is working alone or in a very small office as an IP person - whether you are a patent or trade mark attorney, a solicitor or barrister, in-house or out-house. A critical mass of participants has already been secured, so you won't feel alone when you turn up. Merpel adds that Collyer Bristow's offices are reputed to have some rather splendid items of artwork on display; it is even rumoured that some are available for sale (unlike the lawyers, who are only available for hire ...).

FDA Approves Biogen Psoriasis Drug
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, January 30, 2003
Biogen, Inc. said Friday that the Food and Drug Administration had approved its drug Amevive, used to treat moderate and severe cases of the skin disorder psoriasis.
Psoriasis causes skin cells to multiply abnormally fast and pile up in scaly plaques. Many patients respond to treatment from topical ointments, but Biogen said more than one million require ultraviolet or "systematic therapies," like Amevive, which attack the cause of the disease.
An FDA advisory panel recommended Amevive's approval in May.
Amevive is the second drug on the market for Cambridge-based Biogen. Its multiple sclerosis drug Avonex is facing new competition.

I agree that this is better, but the thing is: this is 3rd party code, (my test program jut imitates what's in glib 2.2.3), and I think it's legal C code.. If it is legal C, then gcc should support it. I'd like to find out if it's legal, and if this is considered a bug. - Frank -- Frank van der Linden email@example.com =============================================================================== NetBSD.

Evangeline Lilly Introduction
Evangeline Lilly is a Canadian actress who rose to fame thanks to her role as Kate Austen in the ABC's hit drama Lost (also starring Emilie de Ravin, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Michelle Rodriguez).
Evangeline Lilly Life Story
When Evangeline was a little kid she did not dream about getting into the showbiz life. She was a good Christian Canuck who set her sites on making the world a better place. She served briefly as a foreign minister and lived in a grass hut in the Philippines when she was eighteen. But her humanitarian work was not paying her college tuition, so when a talent agent approached her to do some modeling work she reluctantly accepted. Her modeling work led to small parts in forgettable movies like Freddy Vs. Jason (2003) starring Lori Campbell and Kelly Rowland, and TV shows like Smallville (2001) starring Kristin Kreuk. She also appeared in The Lizzie McGuire movie with Hilary Duff.
Evangeline got her big break when she was cast in the hit TV show Lost (2004). Since then she has become one of many Canadians to be embraced by the American public. And for good reason, not only does she have a killer body but she is also a sweet good natured girl. Evangeline will star in the upcoming film Afterwards in 2008.

- Sanitary Napkins or Periods? What made...
Sanitary Napkins or Periods? What made 'Phullu' deserve an A-certificate?In case you missed it, Phullu is a movie about a man who changed the way women consider 'Periods' in his village. His life goal was to make menstruation a bit easier for women by bringing them sanitary napkins from the city.
Since when did menstruation, periods and period blood become a thing that required discretion? Did breathing, eating or even speaking offend someone? Then it really stresses my mind to picture the reasons that made CBFC give an 'A rating' to 'Phullu'. In case you missed it, Phullu is a movie about a man who changed the way women consider 'Periods' in his village. His life goal was to make menstruation a bit easier for women by bringing them sanitary napkins from the city.
If there's something more inscrutable than the 'German Enigma' itself, it is Censor Board of our country. The algorithm they follow to designate a certain rating to a film, not only bothers the audience, but also many popular faces from film fraternity. Many Bollywood celebrities like Raveena Tandon, Anurag Kashyap, Swara Bhaskar and many more more have publically slammed CBFC for being irrational while rating movies and scissoring scenes.
What is the debate all about?
Rewind your memory and recall the kind of movies that actually made it to the theatres with many of the sexually explicit scenes left even after cut . 'Kya Kool Hain Hum', 'Grand Masti' and 'Great Grand Masti' deserve a special mention here, but this is not all. The list is so long it can give you a headache! Since long, Indian cinema has been manufacturing movies blatantly on sexuality and the ones which contained all the explicit scenes and have miraculously passed through the CBFC 'Axe' with a U/A certificate. Sample this:
Befikre and U/A certificate
When CBFC board passed Befikre with a surprising U/A certificate, it was a blow to everyone's senses. Like, in the trailer itself Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor are seen sharing 12 kisses and not to forget a striptease by Mr. Singh. We remember how CBFC is obsessed with the length of kissing scenes in the movie, not to forget, James Bond and his infinitely long kissing scene in Spectre. Despite the sexuality, the film manages to get a clear pass from CBFC.
Phullu , An Adult Film? But Why?
The film talks about breaking the taboos regarding something as natural as menstruation. It's about how we can bring boys into the 'bloody conversations'. If you see the movie, you might get a sense of Deja Vu. Yes, Akshay Kumar's Padman rolls out on the same theme as Phullu. But unfortunately, Abhishek Saxena's film will never see the same fate as the star-studded 'Padman'.
We're not against Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Padman', but the thing that miffs us is the hypocrisy prevalent while giving the Censor certificates to the movie. One cannot overlook a number of films that have fought something as basic as a release in India, sample 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' -- The film was denied a theatrical release let alone a certificate, for being too 'women-oriented'. Women exploring their sexuality are something that Pahlaj Nihalani saw in his biggest nightmare. Isn't it? Another matter of fact is that, the film already bagged multiple awards at many prestigious international film festivals. But the same movie cannot afford a release in its own country? If this is not irony then I don't know what is!
This not only infuriated me, but many Twitterati used the social media platform to express their disappointment with CBFC. Here's what they tweeted.
Not even a single person can digest the fact that 'Phullu' is an adult film.
What are your views?

Very beautiful salon but not great highlights
By sh281 on 2/23/2008
Rosemarie highlighted my hair and I am not happy at all. I thought I was clear about what I asked for and I showed a picture but she did NOT do what I asked for. I think her specialty is reds and not blonds. The price was reasonable (for NY) but I was very disappointed with the result.

Ford Consul, Zephyr, Zodiac Cars
This is one of many illustrated classic car guides I've created for the community. I hope you enjoy it. If you wish to find out more about the classic car art featured in this guide please click here.
Consul 375 Mk2 1961
Revised low-line Mk II models were launched in February 1959. Changes were mainly external, being a lower, flatter roof-line and increased use of bright-work. In 1961 the Mk 2 Consul was given the full title Consul 375 in order to distinguish it from the medium sized Consul Classic 315.
Zephyr Mk1 1951-1956
The Mk 1 models, in production from 1951 to early 1956, were promoted by Ford as The Five Star Cars. Technically advanced, with monocoque construction, overhead valve engines and independent (MacPherson) front suspension, these were the first modern post-war cars from Dagenham.
Zephyr Mk2 1956-1962
The Mk 2 Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac followed the success of the original MkI range in 1956. Featuring significantly larger bodywork than before, its styling having a distinctly transatlantic look. The Zephyr now used a 2,553cc six cylinder offering increased performance, an automatic gearbox was also available for the first time on a UK built Ford.
Zodiac Mk 2 Convertible 1956-1962
Convertible Versions of the Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac were included in the Mk II range from the launch. The Zodiac Convertible came fully loaded with luxury fittings and even boasted a power operated three-position folding hood. Two-tone bodywork added even more glamour. Always rare, only 16,309 MkII convertibles were produced, just 2.4% of total production.
Zephyr 6 Mk3 1962-1966
The Mk 3 range featured a new bodyshell, which had striking fins and a lower roof profile than the Mk II cars. The Zephyr 6 had a distinctive front grille and a plush interior, overdrive and automatic transmissions were both available as options. Front discs were now standard.
Zodiac Mk3 1962-1966
The Zodiac was a six-light saloon and the first 100mph car to be catalogued by Dagenham, its increased performance due to a redesigned, high-compression cylinder head and dual exhaust system. Now a unique model, its major breakthrough was a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox. Zodiac estate conversions were offered by Abbott of Farnham.
Zodiac Executive Mk4
The Zodiac Executive was launched at the 1966 Earls Court Motor Show. Based on the Zodiac, this luxury saloon was even better equipped than the standard Zodiac, with automatic transmission, power steering and hide upholstery. Other standard fitments included a heated rear-screen, fog and spot lamps, a push-button radio, steel sliding sunroof and inertia seat belts.

Was your son or daughter born Jan. 19, 1996 or Jan. 19, 2006? If so, NASA is looking for you.
Earlier this week, on June 8, NASA's New Horizons mission crossed the orbit of Saturn on its way to Pluto. That news got me exploring the Web site of the mission and studying its timeline. By NASA's reckoning, "closest encounter" (see, these scientists have a little show biz in them!) operations with Pluto will begin Apr. 12, 2015.
In the meantime, the New Horizons Kids Club is looking for "Pluto pals." These are children who were either born or turned 10 on Jan. 19, 2006, the day the New Horizons mission was launched. Principal investigator Dr. Alan Stern has already located five of these kids and they are on this Internet page:
If you or your kids want to track the progress of the New Horizons mission, you can do it here:
This site has way-cool graphics. Talk about getting the big picture.
The New Horizons mission started before astronomers downgraded Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet in August, 2006. Here's a link to an article about that controversial decision: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14489259/
At that time, Pluto was given a number — 134340 — to replace its name. But somehow, "I have Venus square 134340 in my chart" doesn't have the same ring to it as "I have Venus square Pluto in my chart."
As that old Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose song reminds us, it's too late to turn back now. Pluto or bust!

Federal Research:
Interim Report on the Small Business Innovation Research Program
RCED-95-59: Published: Mar 8, 1995. Publicly Released: Mar 8, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, focusing on: (1) whether the quality of research proposals has kept pace with the program's expansion; (2) the implementation of a provision for technical assistance to agencies; and (3) the duplicate funding of similar research projects.
GAO found that: (1) the quality of research proposals has kept pace with the program's expansion; (2) it is too early to make a conclusive judgment about the long-term quality of research proposals because major increases in program funding have not yet occurred; (3) none of the five major agencies taking part in the SBIR program have implemented the discretionary provision for technical assistance to agencies and future implementation remains uncertain; (4) these agencies have taken steps to provide assistance with the commercialization of research results; (5) duplicate funding of similar research projects has become a problem due to the increasing numbers of research proposals submitted to the SBIR program; (6) a few companies received funding for the same proposals on more than one occasion before the agencies became aware of the duplication; and (7) duplicate funding occurs due to the evasion of certification procedures, lack of consensus on what constitutes a duplicate proposal, and the general lack of current information on recent SBIR awards.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 1995, SBA issued a program information notice specifying procedures to avoid funding duplicate research. In particular, the notice provided improved language for use by SBIR agencies in their SBIR certification forms. The language included a clear warning about the illegality of entering into contracts or grants requiring essentially equivalent effort. It added that, if there is any question concerning this (duplicative research), it must be disclosed to the soliciting agency or agencies before award.
Recommendation: The Administrator, Small Business Administration (SBA), should take steps to determine whether the certification form that accompanies SBIR proposals needs to be improved and, if so, take the necessary steps to revise it.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA's July 1995 program information notice provided guidelines regarding the avoidance of funding duplicate research. However, the notice does not contain substantive definitions to identify situations in which two proposals are sufficiently similar that both should not be funded. SBA has indicated that it believes the guidelines and other steps undertaken are sufficient and does not plan to develop substantive definitions in consultation with the SBIR agencies.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should take steps to develop substantive definitions and guidelines for agencies and companies regarding "duplicative" research.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA developed plans to link all of the SBIR agencies through the Internet to access SBIR data. Software has been written to make this feasible. SBA launched the system in July 1998.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should take steps to provide interagency access to current information regarding recent SBIR awards.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration

BOSTON (AP) -- Jordan Daniels scored a career-high 19 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead Boston College to a 64-60 victory over No. 15 Florida State on Wednesday night and snap the Atlantic Coast Conference-leading Seminoles' win streak at seven games. BC (8-16, 3-7 ACC) had lost six in a row and nine of its previous 11. It had not beaten a ranked team in three years. But the Eagles took the lead midway through the first half and fell behind only briefly in the second, running their lead to eight points and holding on. Michael Snaer scored 16 for Florida State (16-7, 7-2). But he shot 6-for-18 from the floor and made one of seven 3-point attempts. Matt Humphrey scored 15 points and Ryan Anderson had 14 points and six rebounds for the Eagles. The Eagles led by eight points, 55-47, midway through the second half before Florida State began sending them to the foul line. The Seminoles cut the deficit to three points, 60-57, after BC's Matt Humphrey missed the front end of a one-and-one with 1:43 to play and Okaro White made his free throws at the other end. Bernard James blocked Anderson, and Deividas Dulkys saved the ball from going out of bounds. But with a chance to tie it or cut the deficit to one point, Luke Loucks fired up a 25-footer that clanged off the side of the rim, and BC's Lonnie Jackson grabbed the rebound; he was fouled and hit his free throws to give BC a five-point cushion. Snaer, who bandaged his left pinky early in the second half, hit a 3-pointer with under 10 seconds left, but BC iced it from the free-throw line. BC had eight 3-pointers in the first half for only its second halftime lead in 2012. Florida State, which had attained its highest ranking in The Associated Press Top 25 since 1998, entered the night tied with North Carolina atop the ACC. The Seminoles won the head-to-head matchup. Florida State trailed 5-4 before scoring the next 12 points. The Seminoles led by 13, 23-10 with 8:37 left in the first half, before BC scored eight points in a row, 14 of 16 and 23 of 26 -- including six 3-pointers in a span of 4:17.

A young Liverpool fan blocked Mario Balotelli's departure from the club's training ground last night - and performed his own version of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Balotelli, on the verge of joining the Reds for £16million from AC Milan, spent three hours at Melwood last night as he held discussions with Brendan Rodgers.
Liverpool fans began to congregate outside the exit, and when the Italian international and his representatives went to leave, the young supporter stood shirtless - with 'Why Always Me?' written on his back in marker pen - and blocked the route.
LAST CHANCE SALOON: Mino Raiola says it's now or never for Super Mario
When Balotelli's car came to a stop, the fan then poured a bucket of ice water over himself, to the amusement of the watching crowd.
At that point, the car opened, and Balotelli was treated to a heroes welcome by the club's supporters.
Check out the youngster getting a bit wet and chilly in the video below:

How do the digital maps compare to the original paper geologic maps?
The digitally vectorized geologic quadrangle databases are not a facsimile of the original published paper map. Care has been taken to reproduce the information from the source maps faithfully and accurately (for information about the methods for creating the map database, see www.uky.edu/KGS/mapping/mapping.html). A number of differences between the paper and digital maps may be noted.
Nomenclature changes. Some stratigraphic names used on the DVGQ's were changed to reflect current usage or to reduce inconsistencies in names used over a region.
Combined units. In some cases, adjacent units from the original map have been combined in the digital version. This was done where the smaller units were not consistently mapped over a region, or because they were very thin.
Subdivided units. Some new stratigraphic units have been added to the digital version of the maps. Wherever possible, these additions were based on marker beds or color breaks present on the original maps.
Edgematching. In order to permit comparison of adjacent maps, edgematching was performed to align features between maps. This resulted in minor adjustments to lines along the borders of quadrangles.

- just read, not think too much about what to read next - I managed to do that ever since I started with my new reading system (read the books that have been the longest in my TBR pile at first). Now I just grab a new reading pile of 5-9 books and don't think much about it.
- don't enter any reading challenges - did this and it feels so good!
- don't look constantly at how many books I read - I know round about how many books I read in 2012, but not the exact number. It feels good to no longer care about the number.
- stop reading books I don't enjoy, I don't need to finish every book I start - I continued to do that, it's the only way of reading that fits to me and that makes sense to me.
- buy pretty much all of the books I want to read. When I read an eARC I always feel too much pressure to really have a great reading experience. And I love buying new books and supporting authors, so it's a win/win situation for me. Btw, I already buy more than 95% of the books I read, so not reading eARCs doesn't change that much. - I requested a few eARCs via Netgalley this year, but not a lot. And I like it that way. I still buy about 95% of the books I read and I want to continue with it. I feel less pressured to read books I bought with my own money and I like that.
- always read an excerpt before buying a book, in 2011 I read too many books that didn't work for me because of the writing style. - This is something I did at the beginning of the year but lately I have stopped doing it. Sometimes an excerpt will not tell you if the writing style is going to work for you or not, because sometimes you need a few more pages to get into a book.
- make sure that my TBR pile doesn't get too big, everything under 60 books is ok - I'm right now at under 30 books, so I definitely achieved this goal.
- make sure that books don't stay in my TBR pile for more than a few weeks - I also achieved this goal, right now my books stay about 3-4 weeks on my TBR pile before I'm reading them. I'm quite happy with that.
- read some more German books - I managed to read some German YA books this year, some were great, some ok. I plan to read more German books next year.
- share more books with my sister, I love talking with her about books we read - I gave my sis a lot of books to read in 2012, this will definitely continue in 2013.
- have fun while blogging and continue to blog about the things that bring me fun - this was one of the most important points on the list and I'm happy that I sticked by it. I'm right now very comfortable with how the blog is running and I hope it will stay that way.

My reading resolutions for 2012 - did they work?
14 comments:
I'm good with everything about the way I'm reading except for my TBR pile. My problem is that I just can't resist those free and bargain books. Therefore, the pile just keeps growing and it's overwhelming. At least I'm not spending that much money, but I think my one bookish resolution for the new year will be to only buy or download books that I really want to read, regardless of the price. I need to ignore the siren call of free books.....ReplyDeleteReplies
My ebook TBR pile is also way too big, I just tend to ignore it. But I plan to change that in 2013.Delete
This year I stopped reading anything that didn't captivate me enough. I can pick books up again, when I feel more like it another time and will therefore enjoy them more. Some books I put down, that I couldn't enjoy at all will stay dnfs, but that's fine with me, after all I read only for my own enjoyment. Sometimes it's better to spent money on a book that's not for you, than to spend the money and have a bad time reading it to the bitter end.ReplyDelete
What I feel bad about regarding my reading habbits, is that I seem to have read not a singe German book this year. I've got to do something about that. English to German translations are a no-go for me right now and all the interesting Urban Fantasys and Paranormal Romances I know of, are written in English and those are the genres I'm mostly seeking out right now. You wouldn't have a recomendation by any chance, would you?Replies
Sadly I haven't discovered any great German books from the paranormal / UF genre so far. It's weird, that there seem to be so few German authors in these two genres. There are tons of good German YA authors, so that's the kind of German books I read this year. I also read some translated books, and most were surprisingly good. But of course there are also a lot of bad English to German translations out there, for example the books by Patricia Briggs.Delete
Have a great bookish 2013.
Sounds like not putting too much pressure on yourself was a great goal. Love your goals. I think I should have done something similar. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
For me they were the right resolutions, I'm so happy that they worked for me. Maybe you could do some of them in 2013.Delete
Congrats Sabrina for your good reading solutions!ReplyDelete
Most of your goals are working for me as well, except the counting of read books and the Challenge stuff. I think I will enter next year only one - to reread 12 good books from my shelves. Normally I'm so absorbed by the tbr pile and other blog stuff that old favourites are badly neglected. That's a shame.
Btw evening-green and you should try one of Ju Honisch's books. Her Obsidianherz is one of the best books I've ever read (I now it's expensive but it's from a small publisher). It's a mix of paranormal, romance and historical (here you'll find more about her books: http://www.juhonisch.de/publikation_d.html).Replies
I reread books regularly, so I didn't even think of putting that point on my list. :)Delete
Btw, I checked out the books by Ju Honisch and they sound great, I added three to my wishlist and plan to get one soon. I saw that her upcoming book will be published by Heyne, but I think I will at first give one of her other books a try.
The last two years I've reread only a few books and not my normal amount of favourites. I don't now if it's because of our little girl (she is 2 now) or because of the high blogging frequency this year. But I'll find a way to change it in 2013:).Delete
Yes, Ju Honisch's new book will be published by Heyne in fall 2013. It's really sad because she gets trouble with Feder & Schwert and the nearly finished book after 'Jenseits des Karussels' won't be puplished anymore. Of course I wish you much fun with her first book - I think I'm going to see which one you chose^^.
I have to recall my last statement. I've seen just a minute ago at Ju's page/blog that the sequel is coming - it's announced for fall 2013 too and will be published by Feder & Schwert. I'm totally happy right now:D.Delete
Thanks for the tip Nia, I'll have to check it out!Delete
I really need to do this too: 'don't look constantly at how many books I read' as I pretty much do it every day and it makes me feel pressured!ReplyDeleteReplies
I used to check my book count several times a week and it drove me crazy. Now I look it up about 4 times a year and feel way more relaxed.Delete
Hope it will also work for you.
Good for you Sabrina! I am happy that you are happy with your reading resolutions and that they work for you.ReplyDelete
This: "Right now I'm at a point in my bookish life where I read whatever I want, I don't let anybody make me feel bad about the books I like. I read whenever I want to, I don't let me be pressured any longer. And I stand up for my opinion on books and don't stay quiet because other bloggers or authors have deemed a book or a series as crap. I read what I like and I like it that way."
I love that, and it is the only way to truly enjoy what you read. Make your own choices, and keep in mind that taste differ from person to person, and that is a good thing.
I do keep count of how many books I read every month, but that doesn't pressure me in the least. I have spend some days lately just watching tv instead of reading, and it was good as well. I have a new addiction: the american series Storage Wars, and have already watched two full seasons.

President's Forum To Focus On U.S.-China RelationsSept. 23, 2002
Former Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott will headline this fall's President's Forum on Wednesday, Oct. 23, on the Baylor University campus. Talbott's keynote address, which will focus on relations between the United States and China, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Barfield Drawing Room of the Bill Daniel Student Center and is free and open to the public.
In addition to Talbott's lecture, some of the leading scholars on China will participate in two panel discussions earlier in the day. The panels will focus on "U.S.-China Relations in the 21st Century," a topic selected as a prelude to the scheduled meeting between President George W. Bush and Chinese President Jiang Zemin at Bush's Crawford ranch later that week.
"The landscape of international relations was fundamentally altered by the events of Sept. 11, 2001," said Dr. Christopher Marsh, associate professor of political science and director of Asian studies at Baylor. "Today, pronouncements of a coming conflict with China have become muted as both the United States and China face new and unanticipated challenges in the 21st century. As the presidents of both countries prepare to meet at the Western White House, the President's Forum brings together some of the most learned minds on Chinese affairs to help spark a conversation on the future of U.S.-China relations and to generate insights that will lead to well-informed policy."
Talbott became Deputy Secretary of State in early 1994 after serving for a year as ambassador-at-large and special adviser to the Secretary of State on the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. He entered public service after 21 years as an award-winning journalist for Time magazine, where he was editor-at-large, foreign affairs columnist, Washington bureau chief, State Department correspondent and White House correspondent.
A former Rhodes Scholar, Talbott is the author of several books on diplomacy and U.S.-Soviet relations, including a series of three books on U.S.-Soviet arms control. Additionally, he translated and edited two volumes of Nikita Khrushchev's memoirs, published in 1970 and 1974.
He twice won the Edward Weintal Prize for Distinguished Reporting on Foreign Affairs and Diplomacy in 1980 and 1985. His contributions also were cited in three Overseas Press Club Awards to Time. Talbott has served as a trustee of Yale University and the Hotchkiss School and as a director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Council on Foreign Relations and The Aspen Strategy Group. This year he became president of the Brookings Institution, one of the nation's oldest public policy research organizations.
The forum will begin at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 23 in the Barfield Drawing Room with opening remarks given by Baylor President Robert B. Sloan Jr. The first panel, "National Security and Strategic Implications," will meet from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. In addition to Marsh, participants include Dr. June Dreyer, professor and chair of the department of political science at the University of Miami; former Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy, who served as ambassador to the People's Republic of China from 1991 to 1995; and Dr. Suisheng Zhao, associate professor at the Graduate School of International Studies and executive director of the Center for China-U.S. Cooperation at the University of Denver.
The second panel, "Economic, Cultural and Civic Issues," will meet from 2 to 4 p.m. Taking part in the roundtable will be Dr. Andrew Nathan, the Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science at Columbia University; Dr. Minxin Pei, senior associate and co-director of the China Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Dr. Barry Naughton, the So Kwanlok Professor of Economics and Chinese Studies and associate dean of the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California at San Diego; and Carol Lee Hamrin, former senior China research specialist at the Department of State and currently research professor at George Mason University.
Both panel discussions are free and open to the public.

A: I think it's got to be good because that's the situation. It's the bye and I don't think it's going to hurt. As much as he'll get out of town and he'll take a break, anybody that knows him and has been around him, he'll think about things; what we've done well and what we need to improve. But a little rest and a little time away will not be a bad thing.
Q: Your thoughts on the idea that Eli has a tired arm?
A: No. I haven't seen that.
Q: Have you seen your relationship with him develop this year and how are you finding ways to help him?
A: I think in any working relationship it's a matter of trust and that comes through me bringing him information that he finds useful that's helping him and I think we've had a good building of that trust over the past six to eight months that we've been together and I think that's got to continue. Obviously, the last few weeks have not been as productive as they need to be. I think everybody is on the same page with that and I think we're at the point, the two of us, that we can talk about that honestly and talk about the solutions of what needs to happen and it's about execution and that's it. It's about us executing, working harder and being prepared to take on the next opponent and what challenges they bring. That's it.
Q: Are you the guy that can remind him that he can't hit the four-run homer with no one on base?
A: I don't know if I'm that guy. I mean, obviously, that's my job and I do it. Let me be clear on that. I'm not sure he needs that. He knows as soon as something like that happens, he knows and certainly he gets reminded of that in a lot of different ways from the head coach to obviously the offensive coordinator to me. So it's kind of one of those things that I know he knows it, but he's being reminded of those things all the time. Am I the only guy? No. Am I one within a link that has to handle that as part of my job? Absolutely.
Q: Have you ever been around a quarterback that was playing at a MVP level and then the last couple of weeks hasn't played so well?
A: When you get into a situation like this… I haven't examined other numbers that I've been around in that part of it. Certainly there has been a drop off in the level of production and I think that's evident to everyone. There are a lot of different reasons for it and I think it comes down to a matter of an entire offensive unit coming together and executing at a higher level and that's everyone. So as a quarterback group, we certainly play a big part in it and we're working and we'll get it right. That's it.

The Veteran Entrepreneur Program
The Veteran Entrepreneurship Project is joint collaboration between The George Washington University School of Business, the Office of Military and Veteran Student Services under the guidance of Operation GW Valor, built to showcase Veteran leadership in the nation's Startup and Small Business Ecosystem. We all know navigating the risk and complexity involved in business generation is not for the weak of heart, but luckily, neither is what one goes through to wear the badge of honor known as a US Armed Forces Veteran. Our mission is simple, ensure the strength of the United States Economy by providing our Veteran Student Leaders with the tools and support they need to leverage the leadership skills formulated during their military service, and apply it in support of our Nation's fragile Startup and Small Business Ecosystem. The GW Veteran Entrepreneurship Program has one simple mantra for our Military Veteran Students: Lead the way!
Colonial Cords
Starting with a single product that builds espri de corps between the Student Veteran, GW and the civilian student population to create awareness and pride for those who have served this great nation. Handmade bracelets known as Colonial Cords are a part of trench art that dates back to WWI. The Colonial Cord or cobra knot bracelet has become a symbol of the US Armed Forces that have deployed down range in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Operations Iraqi Freedom. Each bracelet is available in the GW Book Store for a monetary donation of $10.00. All proceeds will go into a fund that will be co-managed by the GW Vets and the Office of Military and Veteran Student Services to provide fiscal support for Student Veteran initiatives.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- When the Vols take the field against No. 11/9 South Carolina on Saturday, Butch Jones has a simple message for his team, "I think the big thing is making them earn everything they get and that is a challenge."
Saturday is yet another game in the Vols' gauntlet of a schedule, taking on a ranked team for the fourth time in five games.
"That is the big thing, containing their entire offense," said Jones. "We can't give up big plays, whether it is running the football or deep touchdown passes or big splash plays. It is really the same formula every game. In the SEC we play explosive offenses and defenses every week and very talented football teams. I think seven ranked football teams that we will play."
Last October, Antonio Richardson got the best of Jadeveon Clowney for 75 plays. Clowney bested Richardson with a head fake that resulted in a game-changing sack.
Something Richardson hasn't forgotten and has rewatched at least once a week.
In July, at SEC media days, Clowney spoke of Richardson's `holding abilities'.
Richardson responded the following day saying the best offensive linemen can hold and get away with it.
The duo will finally see its rematch on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Richardson's linemates know he is a high energy player, and they expect him to go out and give it his all.
Just like any other week.
"He's his regular self now and taking it like any other game," said Zach Fulton. "But I know inside he's excited to play."
"We talk to him saying that every game is important from the start of the season," continued right tackle Ja'Wuan James. "You can't worry about it. He has done a great job of just focusing on this opponent. I know that he was excited for this game but he hasn't done anything different this week."
James on the right side also has the ability to defend against Clowney, though he didn't have the opportunity last season.
Justin Worley feels blessed to have both of the strong tackles at his disposal.
"[Tiny] wants to go out and perform each and every week to the best of his ability," said Worley. "Going up against the potentially number one NFL draft pick, you always amp up the stage for him, any tackle that is going to face him. I know Tiny is ready to play and if Ja'Wuan has to block him as well, he is ready to play as well."
Jones agrees and knows the entire offensive line needs to be ready, not just for No. 7, but for the entire South Carolina defense.
"Everyone wants to make a big deal about Tiny and Jadeveon, but he will be lined up over by Ja'Wuan James as much as Tiny," said Jones. "It is our entire offensive front, it is not just Jadeveon Clowney. He is a great player but they have great players around him."
When the South Carolina Gamecocks come to Knoxville on Saturday, Corey Miller will be playing with a little more determination than normal. Miller will be playing against his home state, former peers and his cousin as well.
Nick Jones, Miller's cousin, is a redshirt junior wide receiver. Both grew up together playing in little league, going to school and both playing for Byrnes High School.
Miller is familiar with numerous names on the South Carolina roster from growing up with some to playing with and against many.
While Miller may come across some recognizable faces, the senior defensive lineman knows the most important thing in his final game against the Gamecocks is beating them.
"I see it as another opponent and we have to just bring our A game and be ready for whatever they bring to the table," Miller said.
Miller's attitude going into Saturday's matchup shows the senior leadership that the Volunteers football team has developed.
"I like to think I've come a long way- refocused my mindset, just understanding my priorities and what I need to do as far as in the classroom and on the field as well," said Miller. "I feel like we have a great coaching staff that helps us stay on top of things. I have teammates that have stood by me the entire time, so I feel like I've come a long way."
"This team is believing in what Butch [Jones] is telling us what to do. We're fighting hard for an entire 60 minutes and what it's taken, is for us to take the effort from last week and bring it to this week, because even though last week was a tough loss, we still have a lot of games left to play and it's a great opportunity to come out on top."
Marcus Mariota, Jeff Driskel, Tyler Murphy, Ross Metheny and Aaron Murray. In six games this season, the Vols have faced five "dual-threat" quarterbacks.
That trend continues on Saturday, when Connor Shaw and No. 11/9 South Carolina come to town.
"I think it all starts with Connor Shaw, he is a great quarterback," said head coach Butch Jones on the Gamecocks' offense. "He manages the offense; he makes great throws. He can make the short, the intermediate and the deep ball. But he can also run. There is a reason they are a top 10 football team. They are very, very talented."
Six dual-threat signal callers in seven games. The number may seem high, but Jones isn't surprised by the current trend.
"I think it's the landscape of college football," said Jones. "From (Johnny) Manziel to Connor Shaw and the different players we've already faced. It creates a space game. When you're playing the talented players we have - Connor is one of them - one individual out of place can hurt you."
Senior defensive lineman Corey Miller plans on using past experience to prepare, and thinks it starts with his group when defending a dual-threat quarterback.
"Playing guys like Mariota and Murray - guys that can actually run the ball - it gives you a sense of exactly what a quarterback like Connor Shaw can do.
"It gets to me when I see things like that happen, because that starts with the defensive line - keeping our quarterback points, making sure we don't let him get anything out of the pocket - so it starts with us. It's definitely frustrating."
Speed and agility aside, junior defensive back Justin Coleman has noticed another trait in Shaw that's not typically found in quarterbacks.
"You can tell he's a tough guy," said Coleman. "We're going to have to deliver the blow. He's going to have to feel where Tennessee is coming from. Whenever we hit him, he's going to have to feel it."
Against Georgia, Justin Worley led the Vols on a second-half comeback, turning a 17-3 halftime deficit into a 31-24 lead with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter.
Worley was poised in the pocket, a leader on offense, and connected with his wide receivers on multiple pressure-packed situations.
"It helps a lot knowing that I can put together a performance like that against a quality team," said Worley. "It helps my confidence a lot."
Though Worley didn't believe the second half against Georgia was his best ever half of football, Ja'Wuan James believes that his performance has made him more self-assured in practice.
"It has carried over to practice," said James. "I feel like he was hot in that game, he built some confidence in himself. He has taken that out to practice; you can see him making some throws at practice and things like that."
Worley is just appreciative of the fan support after both his, and the team's performance against the No. 6 ranked Bulldogs.
"It has been all out support for us," said Worley. "That is great to see. We really opened up a lot of people's eyes from our performance in the Georgia game and a lot of people have jumped on board. A lot of the naysayers have converted back to hardcore fans that we love and appreciate."
The Tennessee Volunteers have won nearly 70 percent of their games after coming off of a bye week holding a 78-37-9 all-time record.
Butch Jones is 8-1 all time as a head coach when an off week.
This week, the Vols used their open date to rest their bodies and get ready for a win over a tough South Carolina team.
"It's always good to have a bye week and let some of the guys' bodies rest," said quarterback Justin Worley. "The running backs were a little banged up and the wide receivers and offensive line needed to get healthy as well."
Running back Rajion Neal, who was a little dinged up in the Vols final two games despite back-to-back 100 yard efforts thought the bye week came at the right time.
"I think it came at the perfect time," said Neal. "I felt well. Our coaches and our training staff do a great job of taking care of us and helping us get through the week and helping us manage the body. So, I felt pretty good."
Head Coach Butch Jones is good at allowing his players to make sure they are rested up.
"Coach Jones harps on that, keeping us fresh, keeping us ready to play on Saturday," said linebacker Dontavis Sapp. "The bye week definitely helped us. We had yesterday off, so we got some guys rested up, healed up, and I think we're going to be ready to play. We're going to be fresh on Saturday."
The extra week also gave the Vols extra time to prepare for their slew of SEC opponents coming up.
"It gives you an opportunity to take a more in-depth look at your opponent," said Worley. "You have an extra week to prepare for them and see what they do."
Echoed defensive back Justin Coleman.
"The week off was definitely great because we got a lot of time to prepare for South Carolina film wise and recovery," said Coleman.
Tight end Brendan Downs also agrees.
"It helped us get into the film room and study more tape," said Downs. "It gave us an extra week of preparation and we also got some work last week. More practices to prepare."
All season long Team 117 has praised the strength and conditioning staff on preparing the team week-in and week-out and with Tennessee having a bye week this past week, it was no different.
Players still reported to treatments as normal and Rajion Neal is one Volunteer that realizes how important it was to do so.
"They did a great job of taking care of us and making us come in and focus on treatment," said Neal. "Just taking care of the body with the little time we had off."
"The body's not aching and I'm still moving at a pretty good pace to get through practice and ready to roll on to the game," Neal said.
After toting the ball 53 times in the last two games, Neal believes the bye week could not have come at a better time, not only for him but other players as well and now it is time to refocus into game mode.
The Volunteers will welcome back wide receiver Devrin Young, who Neal knows will play a big role against the Gamecocks.
"He's another fresh body, another speed guy, a great guy on special teams as far as returner, punt and kick returns," said Neal.
The Vols have a sense of determination for a win against a ranked team like South Carolina, so Saturday in Neyland Stadium will be no different.
"Definitely, there's nothing that's given, especially wins, in this conference. We definitely have to learn and pay attention and get around guys that know how to win," said Neal.
Halfway through the season and junior linebacker Curt Maggitt has yet to play in a game. On Tuesday, Jones addressed that Maggitt may be out for the year as he continued to make his way back from multiple injuries suffered in 2012.
"Right now I don't anticipate him playing. I always think of the worst case scenario, we are not expecting him to play this year. If he doesn't he will redshirt and we will move on. If he is ready to go and based on where we are at in the season we will make the determination. Right now I am not expecting him to play."
Also on the injury front, Jones, said returnman Devrin Young was back at practice, but the Vols will "pick their spots" to use him on Saturday.
Junior tailback Marlin Lane was back in action after missing the Georgia game.

Ohio Public Records
What is Available in Ohio Public Records?
The freedom of information act allows a considerable amount of information to be made available online. However, every state has their own way of supplying that information, as well as a limit to the type of information they provide.
Ohio public records are not under some of the legal constraints of other states, making them somewhat easy to access. Ohio public records are listed by the "Ohio Open Records" law.
What the Law Entails
Regarding fees, the Ohio public records law is intentionally vague. Some records are free, others are not, and all of them are decided by the organization in charge of disseminating the information. Public records are also limited to items that are not considered personal information. For example, the following is not required to be released as a public record:
Any information that can be considered dangerous or information that can be abused in an unlawful or unethical way is generally kept confidential (though it may be released through other channels) while anything that may be considered useful information to the general public is released in the Ohio public records.
Ohio Birth Records
As American's, our birth certificates are vital parts of our existence. They are used to enroll us in school, they are used for identity reasons and to prove our US citizenship and they are used when we are researching our family tree.Obtaining an Ohio birth record can sometimes be a hassle, especially if you have moved away from the State that you were born in. But the advent of technology is making it easier to find old and new birth records, regardless of where you live.Ohio birth records became the law is 1867, but it wasn't until 1908 that they went into a State wide record keeping system. If you are looking for a Ohio birth record from 1867 to 1908, the County Probate Court where the birth took place is the best place to start your research.
Ohio Death Records
An Ohio death record is issued immediately after somebody passes away. They are then recorded on a State level with the Vital Statics Office. This office has records that date back to 1908, however if you are looking for a Ohio death record prior to this date, then you may be able to find it on a County level, in the County that the death took place.
Ohio death records are considered public information and anybody is entitled to request a copy. There are a couple different ways to obtain a death record in Ohio. You may visit the County office where the event took place or the States main office located in Columbus Ohio, or you may mail in a request to the main office (there is a three to six week turnaround) Additionally, Ohio is partnered with a third party site where you can order a death record from the comfort of your home.

text: For what it's worth, I'm an adult small in tees and sweatshirts, and I can also fit into a youth large. I'm in the adult 6-8 size range for clothes. I would assume that a junior shirt would be larger, because the juniors dept at the clothing store is the stopgap between kids and adults, but that's really only a guess. The only thing about the youth shirts are that the arm holes tend to be smaller and shorter. I shoot for adult shirts, but my college sweatshirt is a youth large.Originally Posted by misskitty;3228502;
