Last night, I finally returned home from all of my travels this past week for work! Dan and his family had been very busy this week with the beginning of spring calving season. The weather, as you can imagine, was not ideal for bringing new baby calves into the world with temperatures in the low teens, high winds, and about eight inches of snow covered in ice! (MOO! – translation: BRRR!)
Dan's brother had already lost one calf earlier in the week and they had to pull several others. I went out with Dan to check the cows around dusk. We were waiting patiently on yet another calf to be born. Unfortunately, later that night Dan and his dad had to pull the calf and the calf was a still-born. Reality often sets in quickly on a farm. Even though saddened by another loss, you have to keep moving forward… sometimes moving quickly.
Dan called around our neighborhood in search of a newborn calf. During this time we would look for a calf that had not been claimed by its mother and attempt to pair it with our heifer. After several phone calls we were in luck. A new calf, about five days old, was born a twin and the mother only claimed one of her calves.
So Dan and I set out to pick up this new calf and bring her back to our barn for the new mama. When we arrived at our neighbor's house, no one was home so we traipsed into their back yard where we found the bottle calf in a warm, little barn filled with hay. Dan climbed inside and picked up the calf. Meanwhile, I get the gate, skate across the ice-covered back yard in my bulky muck boots (note: feeling like either one of us could "Bambi–it" at any moment. Yes, Bambi is a verb), and open the truck door for Dan and the calf. I throw it in reverse and speed away from the scene as Dan and the bottle calf ride shotgun! Seriously, I feel like a criminal at the moment!
Halfway home, the calf is getting restless again and Dan does his best to hold it still. Funny man talks to the new baby "so…first time in a truck?" Then, I hear "Oh! Yup… my left leg is getting really warm right about now." Nice! The calf is getting his payback for taking him from his warm little bed for a late-night joy ride! Needless to say, I drove the rest of the way home with the window down not bothered by the temperature as much as the smell of our truck.
We finally made it back, prepared a bed of hay for the calf and new mother and did all we could do to ensure she would claim her new baby. After an adventurous night, reality once again set in on our way to the house. We had lost another calf and took a gamble buying another. If it doesn't take to its new mother, we will be stuck with another bottle calf this year. We have a long calving season ahead and are praying for some healthy new calves and maybe some warmer weather.
We had so much snow here in the Midwest this week! I was so excited to get home from my travels and make snow ice cream like my grandmother used to do! Much to my surprise when I arrived home and stepped out of my car I could glide across the snow because it was completely covered in ice! Therefore, snow ice cream was a little out of the question. However, I thought I would pass along the recipe anyway!
Snow ice cream
- 1 c. milk
- 1 c. sugar (yes, 1 cup, embrace it!)
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- Add snow until creamy consistency is achieved (tip: use clean, white snow only, haha!)
- Food coloring optional
I'll never forget the snow days spent at my grandmother's house. My cousins and I would play out in the freezing snow all afternoon. We would come inside to warm up…with snow ice cream!?! Somehow, it always sounded delicious! We would add food coloring and mix every color possible! By the last bite, my ice cream usually resembled a brown, chocolate color. I hope you enjoy as much as we did when we were kids!
Stay warm out there!

We have shown that wear dynamics can be monitored on a lateral micrometer scale by synchrotron radiation. We have followed the wear from the change in transmission on a system of three layers of hard coatings, TiAlN, CrN and TiAlN, of approximately one micron thickness produced by sputtering deposition. These layers were deposited on a 1 mm-thick vitreous carbon sample. The instantaneous depth was determined from transmission as well as XANES (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectra) measurements of the K-edge of Cr from the-CrN marker layer. The wear process is highly irregular and the local wear rate varies strongly from one position to another in the wear track. The ridges, grooves as well as the transport of debris from the track were for the first time followed on a micrometer level, confirming the stochastic nature of this type of wear. Most of the features are generated within the first 500 nm and exist over several micrometers. However, also a significant fraction of grooves and ridges disappear by wear over less than one micrometer.

FOLK rock fans will be pleased to hear The Albion Band back with fresh songs, high-energy concerts and a line-up that leads directly back to the Guv'nor himself, founder Ashley Hutchings.
And they are coming to Gainsborough's Trinity Arts Centre on Friday 30th November at 8pm.
After years of fielding fan requests to recharge The Albion Band, Hutchings has passed the baton to his son Blair Wesley Dunlop.
Following in the footsteps of his much-lauded father, who was also instrumental in founding both Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, Dunlop has recruited an array of rising young musical virtuosos to form this incarnation of The Albion Band.
Featuring sparkling folk stars Katriona Gilmore (fiddle and vocals), Gavin Davenport, (vocals, concertina and guitar), Tom Wright (drums), Tim Yates (bass), and Benjamin Trott (lead guitarist), this new Albion Band captures the spirit of the original band of the 1970s.
Together they make music that appeals both to fans of the original Albion Band and younger music fans.
Call the box office on 01427 676655.

But if it's everywhere, all at once—as both the rise of crime in the '60s and '70s and the fall of crime in the '90s seemed to be—the cause is a molecule.

By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Back on March 9th of 2013, Bernard Hopkins became the last fighter promoted by Golden Boy Promotions to appear in action on HBO.
Not too long after that, the network made a company decision to cut their business ties with Golden Boy. HBO had become frustrated with former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer and influential adviser Al Haymon, who manages/advises the majority of Golden Boy's stable.
According to sources in the company, HBO was tired of building up Golden Boy fighters who were then jumping over, one by one, to rival network Showtime.
After Schaefer parted ways with Golden Boy in June, most saw his departure as the first step to a possible renewed relationship between Golden Boy and HBO.
On November 8th, Hopkins becomes the first Golden Boy fighter to return to HBO, when he faces WBO champion Sergey Kovalev in a highly anticipated unification.
Besides being one of their star fighters, Hopkins is also a partner and has an ownership stake in Golden Boy. He hopes the fight with Kovalev will jump start the rebuilding process of the once strong relationship between Golden Boy and HBO.
"How surreal and what better person to be in a situation to be [in] as the last fighter who was on HBO, promoted by Golden Boy, and now that we're dating again, and hopefully it becomes a full blown relationship and then marriage and then kids. Who would could ever script this," Hopkins said.

It's an evolution of the language described in the HTML4 specification in a direction that makes it more compatible with what is implemented on the Web. We might not have used the text of HTML4, and might not have even really consulted HTML4 in the creation of HTML5, but it's still an evolution of the language described in the HTML4 spec. Certainly, my knowledge of what HTML4 is certainly is based strongly on reading in between the lines of the HTML4 spec when it first came out (long before we started work on HTML5); and indeed it was knowledge of the many holes in the HTML4 spec, as well as debate about what HTML4 means in various situations, that led to much of the HTML5 spec. So I really do think it is accurate to say that HTML5 is an evolution of the HTML4 language as described in the HTML4 spec; it's just that we didn't use the HTML4 spec as the base for writing HTML5. As an analogy, one could watch a movie, and then later write a script that is a remake of that movie, or a sequel of that movie, without actually consulting the original movie in the creation of the new one. Just because the original movie wasn't consulted while the new one was written doesn't mean that the original movie wasn't the inspiration for the new one, or that the new movie is not an evolution of the old one. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.

A diverting drinking vessel which could be found in village inns and public houses for centuries had a resurgence in popularity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These vessels had been made throughout England and northern Europe since at least the fifteenth century. Most commonly called puzzle jugs, they were also sometimes called teasing pitchers or wager jugs. It was a challenge to determine how to drink the liquor which they contained and wagers were often placed on the outcome of the attempt.
By the time of the Regency, puzzle jugs were being made not only for use in inns and taverns, but also for home use. Many gentlemen enjoyed entertaining their male visitors with drinking games using their own puzzle jugs.
Puzzle jugs are a puzzle because it is not obvious how to imbibe the beverage which they contain. The neck of the jug is perforated, often in ornamental patterns, so one cannot simply raise it to one's lips and drink. Most puzzle jugs also have a hollow rim which can have between three to seven spouts which protrude from it. This hollow rim is connected to either a hollow handle, which opens into the lower part of the jug body, or the inside of the jug has a tube or pipe built into the jug wall. It is through this concealed piping that the liquid contents of the jug flow to the hollow rim. The secret of the puzzle jug is to know which of the spouts on the rim to plug with the fingers, while sucking the liquor out of the jug via the remaining spout. Some puzzle jugs have a small additional opening somewhere below the neck or beneath the handle which will spill the liquid on the hapless drinker if the jug is not held just so.
Many puzzle jugs have inscriptions on the body of the jug. They might be very brief, or quite lengthy, occasionally waxing poetical. Some examples are below:
The ale is good, taste.
From mother earth I took my birth,
Then formd a Jug by Man,
And now stand here, filld with good cheer,
Taste of me if you can.
Here, gentlemen, come try yr skill,
I'll hold a wager, if you will,
That you Dont Drink this liqr all
Without you spill or lett some Fall.
Within this jug there is good liquor,
'Tis fit for parson or for vicar;
But how to drink and not to spill
Will try the utmost of your skill.
It was common for publicans and tavern-keepers to provide various vessels in order to cater to the amusement of their customers in various drinking games. Among these vessels might be found puzzle jugs, fuddling cups, frog mugs and yards of ale. It would appear that puzzle jugs were one of the most popular of these challenging drinking vessels. Ale or hard cider were the two beverages which were most often served in puzzle jugs, but a customer could drink, or attempt to drink, any liquor available. The drinker's companions would all then make wagers on whether or not he would be able to drain his puzzle jug without soaking himself with its contents.
Early puzzle jugs were made in earthenware, a porous, low-fired ceramic. Puzzle jugs of this material tended to be of simple shapes and coarse decoration. Later, puzzle jugs were made of stoneware. Stoneware was fired at higher temperatures and the body of a vessel made from this material was much finer than that of earthenware. By the Regency, puzzle jugs were also made in pearlware and bone china. The puzzle jugs made of these much more highly-fired ceramics were also more elegant in both shape and design. Puzzle jugs made from these more precious and costly ceramics were more often intended for the home than the tavern, as they were less able to stand up to the hard usage such vessels would receive in a public house.
The puzzle jug was such a complicated vessel form that even during the Regency, when assembly lines and mass production were becoming features of the Industrial Revolution, each of them had to be made by hand. In addition, each jug had to be unique. If they were all made the same, there would be no challenge in figuring out how to drink from them. There were many small potters across England who regularly made puzzle jugs for their local public houses. Some of these potters also made puzzle jugs for the local squires and gentlemen farmers to use in their homes. The products of these small potteries were usually of earthenware or stoneware. Very few of these small potteries could afford kilns which could generate the extremely high temperatures needed to fire either pearlware or bone china. Puzzle jugs in these materials would be made at the larger china potteries which could afford the high-firing kilns necessary. There were several of the larger potteries which did a good business making puzzle jugs. Most of the more elegant and fragile puzzle jugs made by the china potteries were purchased by members of the gentry and the aristocracy for use in their homes.
Yes, perhaps the puzzle jug is a bit silly, but no more silly than today's beer hat or other goofy gadgets which men employ for their amusement in the consumption of liquor. Personally, I find the puzzle jugs I have seen much more attractive than any beer hat I have encountered. In my opinion, those men who wanted some diversion as they imbibed during the Regency had a more creative experience using the puzzle jug. Yet another reason why I find the Regency is so much more romantic.

Casey Batchelor has proudly shown her new boobs off to the world - but rather than go bigger, the famously busty star has had her breasts reduced.
The model - who was famous for her GG's - smiled happily following her surgery, clearly keen to show off the results.
Wearing a loose black jumper, the star looked slimmer than ever as she strolled around Soho in London, and the results are, well, dramatic.
So much for only having a slight change Casey - but it looks great.
She previously said her huge bust was her biggest insecurity , telling The Daily Star: "Despite a confident smile and self-assured pose on the red carpet or in a photoshoot, I do have insecurities... And my boobs have always been a huge insecurity.
She added: "I'm not saying my boobs are awful or anything, because they aren't, but they have never made me truly happy inside."
The reality star said her insecurities stem from being a child, when she was bullied about her larger-than-average chest size.
Casey explained how her mates would tease her, and how her breasts stopped her being able to dance.
"My boobs have given me some great opportunities, let's face it, I was a glamour model and that was my role in Celebrity Big Brother, so God bless them for that," Casey said.
"But now it's time to give them some TLC. A little reduction and reconstruction will be amazing."
And it seems she's sprung back after the surgery, because she tweeted just days ago: "Another early night & tele in bed for me. I'm going to be like a recharged duracell bunny once I'm up and running after this op! #cantwait."
She recently posed topless, keen to celebrate her boobs while she still had them, but we reckon Casey doesn't regret her decision one bit.

Working with doctors Working for patients
This page provides information about our online register, the List of Registered Medical Practitioners. This gives a list of doctors and their status on the register.
Show me the List of Registered Medical Practitioners.
You can use the List of Registered Medical Practitioners - also known as the medical register - to check details of all the doctors who are registered with us.
It gives details of:
Our leaflet, Understanding a doctor's registration, helps patients understand why doctors have to be registered with us. It explains why only those doctors who are registered with the GMC with a licence to practise may treat patients by law.
To make sure we update our records accurately, please let us know when a doctor has died. To do this, send us either a copy of the death certificate or a death certificate verification form certified by a solicitor. You can get a copy of the death certificate from the relevant registry office.
The entire List of Registered Medical Practitioners is available to download on a subscription basis. You can find further information and data descriptions in our LRMP subscription service user guide and order form (pdf).
Organisations may wish to download the entire register as a flat file and import this into a database. This is a useful way of adding publicly available registration information to existing systems. For example, medical staffing officers may find it useful to add up-to-date registration data to their personnel systems. We recommend that database developers use doctors' GMC reference numbers to match and import our data. This is a unique identifier.
Please note that the medical register does not contain doctors' contact details, such as their practice address.
The LRMP file is updated daily. We provide a full extract of the register and a "delta" file of daily updates. You can download the files using our secure web portal. We provide the files on a subscription basis at a cost of £600 (+VAT) per year.
If you would like further information about this service, please read our FAQs or contact the GMC's Information Policy team by email: email@example.com.
The medical register was published in book form between 1859 and 2004. We have worked with genealogy company ancestry.co.uk to make the majority of this information available online. ancestry.co.uk has digitised every fourth register from 1859 to 1959. These are fully searchable and you can view original register entries online. Visit their website www.ancestry.co.uk for further information.
You can check a doctor's registration status online, on the List of Registered Medical Practitioners.

Today is Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day up in Canada, and it seems like the perfect time to pass along a story about one of the many tremendous ways that the golf community embraces our veterans.
Back in August, Billy Casper Golf staged the third edition of what it calls the ''World's Largest Golf Outing'' – the golf course management firm hosted more than 10,000 golfers at 110 of its golf courses in 24 states, all on the same day, as a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. A few days ago, Casper announced that it raised more than $735,000 for the WWP from this one day alone.
Since the World's Largest Golf outing was created, it has donated more than $1.1 million to WWP, and this year's total shows how incredibly much the event has grown in just three short years. The funds raised came from a portion of entry fees plus donations made online.
''The sacrifice of wounded warriors in the name of our country is humbling,'' said BCG Chairman and CEO Peter Hill. ''Our loyal golfers are commended for turning out in droves this year and raising a fantastic sum for this worthy cause.''
And as fantastic as the money is, it's equally cool to note that the simultaneous golf outing included participation of more than 70 wounded warriors at 27 different courses.
A number of other top golf organizations were involved as well. All the golfers were entered into a drawing to win a grand-prize trip for four to the Nike Campus in Oregon to get fitted for irons. In addition, tournament winners at each course were eligible to win tickets to the 2014 PGA Championship, as well as products from Ahead, Bridgestone, Callaway, Cleveland, FootJoy, Nike, TaylorMade and Titleist. And the teams with the highest contribution levels received complimentary tees times at BCG courses and WWP merchandise.
Billy Casper Golf also provided some highlights from the various venues:
--Lyman Orchards Golf Club (Middlefield, Conn.) topped all courses with $51,449 in total donations
--Team Calkin – led by a retired Marine – at Alta Vista Country Club (Placentia, Calif.) raised $14,960, outpacing all foursomes
--Four teams raised more than $8,000 each, 10 teams more than $5,000 each
--Jordan Fairchild – born on September 11, 2001 – sang the Star-Spangled Banner at Palmbrook Country Club (Sun City, Ariz.)
--The Claw at USF (Tampa, Fla.) hosted the most wounded warrior golfers (nine)
--10 courses hosted more than 200 golfers
--There was a 21-gun salute to kick off the outing at Orchard Valley Golf Course (Ill.)
--Lincoln Hills Golf Club (Lincoln, Calif.) hosted 307 golfers (120 active or retired military), including personnel from Air Force Base Travis facing off against Air Force Base Beale in a friendly ''Base Battle'' match-play competition (Beale won)
--There were holes-in-one at Lyman Orchards, Bear Creek (Texas) and Eastpointe (Fla.)
--Many courses honored the military with moments of silence; ceremonial first tee shots; standing ovations; national anthems; color guards; patriotic pin flags, tee markers and apparel; and golf carts decorated in red, white and blue

Columbia Shuttle Investigator To Speak At Baylor Nov. 10Nov. 4, 2003
by Judy Long
A forensic engineer who spent four months reassembling the space shuttle Columbia will speak on "Columbia Reconstruction and Debris Assessment (Putting all the Pieces Together in the World's Largest Puzzle)" at noon Monday, Nov. 10, in room 109 of the Rogers Engineering and Computer Science Building on the Baylor University campus.
Mark Tanner, vice president and senior consulting engineer at Mechanical and Materials Engineering and one of the country's top failure analysts, will give an overview of the assent, re-entry, break-up and eventual recovery of the Columbia. He will focus primarily on the reconstruction effort and debris assessment that took place at Kennedy Space Center. While reassembling the craft, Tanner searched for the breach that allowed hot gases to enter the Columbia's wing.
"Mark Tanner is one of two forensic engineers invited to work on the task of determining how and why Columbia failed," said Dr. Walter Bradley, Distinguished Professor of Engineering. "Baylor is extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to hear a presentation of how he and his team were able to use the debris from Columbia to give a remarkably clear answer to the question of why the tragedy occurred."
A mechanical engineer, Tanner conducts risk assessments of industrial equipment and identifies risks associated with the maintenance, operation and engineering practices applied to complicated equipment. He is a member of the American Society for Metals (ASM) International, has chaired the ASM failure analysis committee and is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the School of Engineering and Computer Science at (254) 710-3871.

A rich, creamy blue cheese sauce pairs perfectly with pork.
This is a really Easy tasty recipe, I have made this now several times. Lovely! - 12 Dec 2014
I came across this recipe quite by accident. Delicious, moist, I mean almost to die for. It is simple and quick to prepare. I always try to make a recipe exactly as stated first so I can fairly judge it. I tried this with out added bluecheese. It is mild and delicious. Even my non bluecheese eaters loved the gravy. For those of us who like a bit more bluecheese I added more and it also was excellent. I love gravies made with whipping cream. I however can not afford the calories on a regular basis as they tend to go to my hips. The next time I make this I will make the gravie with nonfat half-n-half, nonfat canned milk, or nonfat milk. When I use nonfat milk in place of whipping cream or half-n-half I add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch for thickening per cup of liqued. I will also use olive-oil in place of butter. I like some of the other reviewers sauteed mushrooms and served them on the side. I will be making this again soon with a nice cut of steak. I know it will be a hit too! Thanxs Toni for an excellent recipe. It is a keeper for sure and I will use it again and again. This recipe is well worth trying! - 24 Jun 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was very good. I substituted the 1 cup of whipping cream and 2oz. blue cheese with 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing. Turned out great! - 19 Feb 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

If your boyfriend admitted that he's using you to become more popular what would you do?
Well according to Khloe Kardashian, it's no big thing as her boyfriend French Montana has openly admitted that he's keen to cash in on his girlfriend's popularity.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's fans were left outraged after French's interview with Billboard Magazine was released on Friday (August 15).
"I want to capitalise on it," he said. "I'll get a fan base from everywhere. I just hope I'll be able to connect with everything that's going on."
It's no real surprise then that Khloe makes an appearance in French's new Don't Panic music video.
"It's amusing to me that Y'all think I don't see it. I was the first one to see it. I just don't care," the 30-year-old tweeted today.
French recently appeared on the family's reality show, where he got to meet Khloe's sister Kim for the first time.
The mother-of-one was joined by her BFF on a night with Khloe, Montana and their friends at a night club. Only for things to get super-awkward when Khloe's ex Lamar Odom rocks up.
"I changed my number and now he's showing up," a frustrated Khloe told the group.
Talking to the camera, Kim said: "It is so obvious that Khloe and French are dating.
"They are so cute and he is so sweet with her ... I get why she's hesitant on introducing anyone to the family, but if she's out and about all over the world with this guy, there's no reason she shouldn't share it with her family."

The holiday season is once again upon us, which means that it's time for the annual picks of the finest video releases of the year for viewers 10 and older. There is always some crossover, and parents are the best judge of what kids should watch. But the videos listed below are all high-quality entertainment that, hopefully, will whet young people's curiosity and urge them to read and think. Videos are relatively inexpensive gifts and, need we remind, simple to wrap.
This year's winner was an easy choice: "Kiki's Delivery Service" (StudioGhibli, $20), a masterpiece -- no other word for it -- of dazzling quality, breathtaking animation and compelling story line.

Surprising no one who travels Bali's roadways, the Bali traffic police report that traveling by any form of motorized vehicle on the Island is dangerous. In fact, during the first six months of 2013, a total of 1,168 accidents were recorded in the province.
From that total, 166 fatalities and property damage amounting to Rp. 1.9 billion (US$190,000) were recorded.
The highest number of accidents were recorded by the Police precincts in Denpasar with 306 accidents; followed by Buleleng in North Bali with 275 accidents; and Tabanan with 126 accidents.
Quoted by Seputarbali.com, the head of the traffic section for the Denpasar Police, Dedy Udayana, said the high number of accidents in Denpasar was due to many causes, including congested roads and bad driving habits.
In an effort to reduce the high rate of traffic accidents Dedy explained how "Operation Patuh" was currently underway to bring a stricter level of enforcement against those breaking traffic regulations. "We will take steps against violators beginning from those with incomplete documentation to other areas such as people driving without a rear-view mirror. We'll also enforce other regulations," emphasized Dedy.
The Capital's top traffic policeman also concedes that road conditions play a role in the high level of accidents in his jurisdiction.
Police acknowledge the high level of accidents in the Tabanan area of Bali is occasion by over-loaded trucks, resulting in frequent rollover incidents and an accompanying loss of life.
Police Commission Beno Lauhenapessy, who heads the Province's Traffic Police Division, said the simplest rules that must be obeyed are the use of standardize crash helmets for motorcyclists and seat belts for motor vehicle passengers.

text: DaveG 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Hi All Got a little query for the mechanically minded out there: I drove 4 miles this morning, loaded the car up (bags of soil & sand), upon return car throttle seemed juddery, seconds later EAC FAIL appeared on dash and power was non existent, i managed to get the car home very slowly and during the process discovered that as i struggled (i.e no more acceleration) changing up enabled me to go quicker I managed to get up to about 30. I got home left the car for about 2 hours, I got back in it, in order to drop it off at a garage and the EAC FAIL and gone (I'd literally done nothing to the car), I drove it the 6 miles without any problem (@60mph). I am hoping that the garage will find a problem (in order to solve the mystery)when they hook it up to the diagnostic machine. In the mean time does anybody have a clue what might have caused it, the roads were very wet & conditions damp, as well as being loaded there were a couple of small speed bumps and pot holes to contend with?. Any info would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2013 SEASON IN REVIEW: The Aggies took a slight step backwards during the 2013 seasons after an outstanding 11-2 mark in 2012, but at 9-4 overall and 4-4 in the vaunted SEC, it was still a strong showing in head coach Kevin Sumlin's second season at the helm.
Texas A&M's downfall ultimately came in its inability to defeat the SEC's best. It collected strong victories versus Vanderbilt (56-24) and at Ole Miss (41-38) and also took care of business against Arkansas (45-33) and Mississippi State (51-41), but couldn't defeat the teams that finished ahead of it in the standings. It lost a marquee shootout with Alabama (49-42), dropped a contest with eventual SEC champion Auburn (45-41) and closed out the regular season with back-to-back road losses at LSU (34-10) and Missouri (28-21).
The Aggies accepted a bid to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, their fifth straight bowl game, and in their typical high-scoring fashion they were able to hold off Duke with a 52-48 triumph.
The squad finished the season ranked No. 18 in the AP poll and is 20-6 in two seasons under Sumlin, but it'll now have to adjust to life without its superstar quarterback.
OFFENSE: The Aggies had one of the nation's most prolific offenses last season, ranking fifth in the country in scoring (44.2 ppg) and fourth in yardage (538.4 ypg), but the majority of that production came thanks to the production of Johnny Manziel. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and two-time First-team All-SEC selection shined last season by completing 69.9 percent of his passes for 4,114 yards with 37 touchdowns while also causing havoc on the ground (759 yards, nine TDs).
With Manziel now suiting up for the Cleveland Browns, Texas A&M will need to find his replacement, with the competition coming down to sophomore Kenny Hill (16-of-22, 183 yards, TD last season) and true freshman Kyle Allen, one of top quarterback recruits in the country this past offseason.
As it is, Hill was recently tabbed as the starter for the opener against South Carolina, with Sumlin praising the work turned in by both guys this summer.
"The competition was close and that competition will continue to help us improve," Sumlin said. "I have talked to both quarterbacks as well as the team and we will prepare with Kenny getting the first-team reps."
The squad will also have to deal with the departure of Mike Evans, who was one of the nation's most dominant receivers a year ago with 69 receptions for 1,394 yards and 12 scores. Whoever wins the quarterback battle will have Malcome Kennedy (60 receptions, 658 yards, seven TDs) as one of the top options, and former top recruit Ricky Seals-Jones, who suffered a season- ending injury early in 2013, also has high expectations.
In the backfield, Ben Malena (551 yards, 10 TDs) is gone as well, but with the combination of Trey Williams (407 yards, six TDs) and Tra Carson (329 yards, seven TDs), the running game appears to be in good hands, especially with four starters along the offensive line returning.
DEFENSE: With such a high-flying offensive attack last season, the Aggies' clear downfall was the poor play of its defense, which allowed 32.2 ppg and 475.8 ypg (last in the SEC and 111th nationally), but the good news is that, unlike the offense, the defense has plenty of returning continuity with seven starters coming back.
The Aggies struggled with the pass rush a season ago, and they are in even worse shape than they figured, as last year's leading sack artist Gavin Stansbury (47 tackles, 3.0 sacks) left the program for personal reasons in July. Defensive tackle Alonzo Williams (27 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and linebacker Shaan Washington (3.0 sacks) are the only returning players who have experience getting pressure on the quarterback.
Luckily the team returns all four starters in the secondary in cornerbacks Deshazor Everett (73 tackles, two INTs) and De'Vante Harris (56 tackles, INT) and safeties Howard Matthews (90 tackles, three INTs) and Floyd Raven (38 tackles).
SPECIAL TEAMS: Josh Lambo returns as the kicker after knocking through 8-of-10 field goal attempts and 50-of-51 extra point tries a year ago. Drew Kaser (47.4 yards per punt) is back as the punter.
Trey Williams was an impressive kickoff return man in 2013 with 28 runbacks for 706 yards, but his involvement in special teams might be toned back as he earns a bigger role in the offense. Freshman Speedy Noil, one of the nation's top receiving recruits, will likely get an opportunity to make plays in the return game early in his career.
OUTLOOK: The Aggies have made a name for themselves over the past two seasons for their potent offense, and while Sumlin certainly had a large influence in that success, losing Manziel is an undeniably huge hurdle to overcome. Still, Sumlin believe his program is ready to move forward without Johnny Football.
"Our expectations are not going to change," Sumlin said. "We don't have time for a bunch of rebuilding years. There would be another guy standing up here real quick. We're going to try to go out there, win every game, put our guys in a position to do so, with the mentality that we are here to win."
Even with Sumlin's positive attitude, it's highly unlikely Texas A&M can be a factor in the SEC Western Division race, especially with a pair of brutal road games at Alabama and Auburn (to go with other tough matchups at South Carolina and versus Missouri and LSU). Expectations are low in College Station this season, with a low-end bowl bid appearing to be the best-case scenario.

Behind the beards: 'Duck Dynasty' women have their say
The women from A&E's hit show Duck Dynasty are giving their side of the story in their new book, The Women of Duck Commander: Surprising Insights from the Women Behind the Beards About What Makes This Family Work (Howard Books, April, $25.99).
In the book, five wives share the story of how they met their husbands, as well as anecdotes from their family life. Jessica Robertson, married to Jep Robertson, answered some questions about their book, their family and what life is like on a reality TV show.
QUESTION: What made you ladies decide to write the book?
ANSWER: With the show, it's mainly about the men, so you don't get to see us, the women, as much. So there are many questions I think people have, and I think it gave us an opportunity to share with the world some inside stories from our viewpoint. ... There are so many people who didn't know us. Half the people didn't know we have kids (Jessica and Jeb have four), and half of them kind of had their own opinions without even knowing us. So it was just a way for us to open up our lives to them a little bit.
Q: What do the husbands think about you writing the book?
A: They thought it was a great opportunity. They knew we had a lot to say, even though it's hard to find what you don't want to say because we're writing it with so many people. ... It was good because then we can just shed light on the things we really wanted to share with the world.
Q: Do you ever feel like back-ups to the men?
A: No, it's not a big deal because we're able to still be hands-on moms. I love filming with everybody. But I also love that the time when Jep's filming, I can still be home with the kids. It happens that when I'm filming, a lot of times Jep won't be filming with me. So he's able to pick up the slack if I'm really busy and can't pick the kids up from school or take them to piano or all the other stuff they do. He can do it. So it's a juggling act, and we do the best we can do, and we have a great support system with the family.
Q: Does the family get any say over what gets put on TV?
A: We don't get any say-so in the editing, but we do in the filming. Like we all come together and a lot of it is stuff that we have done or that we're going to do, so we let it be a great opportunity to film it. Like Mia's surgery, it was something that was gonna happen, but we knew it would be powerful for other people to see. It has helped so many families that are going through that. (Mia is the 11-year-old daughter of Jase and Missy Robertson. The March 26 episode dealt with Mia undergoing her fifth cleft palate surgery.)
Q: What is the most embarrassing thing that's been on the show?
A: Oh, I don't know. I laugh at myself so I don't really take myself too seriously. In those embarrassing moments, I just think it's hilarious. Nothing has been like embarrassing where I want to hide my face. I have like the one snort laugh on the interview and they play it a lot. I just kind of laugh with the crowd. I think that's what you have to do and not take yourself too seriously.

Hello All, I have recently been working with version 5.3.2 of the library, and would like to submit some bug fixes back to the list. Some of them some arcane initialisation problems which only occur if you try shutdown and restart of the library within the same process (NB: this still doesn't work, if any HTTP requests have been issued), but many of them are genuinely required bug fixes - the Cookies code in particular, didn't seem to work at all. NB: Implementing all these fixes eliminated all Purify warnings and errors (Platform was Solaris 7). Patch 1 HTWWWStr:HTParseTime() Line 421 is the start of the if statement for handling the format, Weekday, 00-Mon-00 00:00:00 GMT. After the final strtol() call in the body of that if statement (which is line 432, in my download), insert this statement (NB: still within the body of the if that starts on line 421): if ( tm.tm_year > 1900 ) { tm.tm_year -= 1900; } Without this, cookies with 4-digit years in their dates (ie. all the ones that I've seen !!) could not be parsed. This is also in line with RFC-1123, which updated the RFC-822 year spec from 2 digits to 4, and in any case the Unix tm_year field is defined as the number of years since 1900 - it is neither a CCYY value, nor a YY value. Later on (around line 511), this routine makes sure that tm_year is in the range 70-120. I recommend removing that check, since all years can be considered equally valid (or else require 1901-2038 instead, since that is the range mktime() can handle, but then you would have to check months and days as well, since it can't handle the whole of those boundary years). Patch 2 HTAtom:HTAtom_deleteAll() The for loop consists of a single if statement. Insert the following statement at the end of the if statement (NB: at the end, not after it): hash_table[i] = NULL; Patch 3 HTLib:HTLib_setUserProfile() Insert this statement at the start of the routine. if (UserProfile) HTUserProfile_delete(UserProfile); Patch 4 HTLib:HTLibTerminate() Zero UserProfile, immediately after deleting it. UserProfile = NULL; Patch 5 HTHeader:HTHeader_deleteAll() Zero ParseSet, immediately after freeing it. ParseSet = NULL; Patch 6 HTHeader:HTHeader_setMIMEParseSet() Insert this statement at the start of the routine: if (ParseSet) HTMIMEParseSet_deleteAll(ParseSet); Patch 7 HTHeader:HTHeader_deleteParser() Insert this statement at the start of the routine: if (!ParseSet) return NO; Patch 8 HTProxy:add_object() Line 121 looks like this (Uninitialised Memory Read) if (*(me->url+strlen(me->url)-1) != '/') Replace it with this: if ( (me->url[0] == 0) || (*(me->url+strlen(me->url)-1) != '/') ) Patch 9 HTCookie:HTCookieHolder_deleteAll() Replace the entire routine, with this code: if (cookie_holder == NULL) { return NO; } while (cookie_holder->next) { HTCookieHolder_delete ((HTCookieHolder*)cookie_holder->next>object); } HTList_delete(cookie_holder); cookie_holder = NULL; return YES; The problem here was accesses to previously freed memory. Patch 10 HTCookie:HTCookie_parseSetCookie() This routine starts off as follows: char * cookie_name = HTNextField(&value); char * cookie_value = HTNextField(&value); if (cookie_name && *cookie_name && cookie_value) { HTCookie * cookie = HTCookie_new(); char * param_pair; Replace those 5 lines with these: char* cookie_name; char* cookie_value; char* param_pair; param_pair = HTNextParam(&value); cookie_name = HTNextField(¶m_pair); cookie_value = param_pair; if (cookie_name && *cookie_name && cookie_value) { HTCookie * cookie = HTCookie_new(); ... and then carry on with the body of the IF statement, as at present. The problem here was that cookies with null values could not be parsed. It may be that the real fix required here is to modify the leading while loop in all the HTWWWStr.c routines, so that it just says: while (*p && (isspace((int)*p))) (since all it has to do is find the start of the term). However, I presume that the other users of this module are working OK, so it seemed safer to limit my tinkering to the HTCookie module (although I did try those HTWWWStr fixes in my own application, with no ill effects). Patch 11 Not strictly a bug, but compiling with -DNODEBUG transforms WWWTRACE from an integer variable to a #define'd zero constant (see HTUtils.h). This seems like an unnecessary and unexpected side effect of trying to get rid of the w3chttp.out trace file, and it did trip up LineMode/src/HTBrowse.c (tries to assign to WWWTRACE). It also irritated me a bit, because I prefered to set the trace level thus: WWWTRACE = SHOW_ALL_TRACE & ~SHOW_MEM_TRACE rather than by calling HTSetTraceMessageMask(), and explictly enumerating the trace types which I did want. Patch 12 HTAssoc:HTAssocList_removeObject() There is a memory leak here, as it doesn't free the HTAssoc members. They are allocated by this module, so it is probably its duty to free them (and HTAssocList_delete() already does so). The fix is to call HT_FREE(assoc->name) and HT_FREE(assoc->value), before the call to HT_FREE(assoc).

And now, these books. This. He touched PHYSIOGNOMONIE. The secrets of the individual's character as found on his face. Were Jim and Will, then, featured all angelic, pure, half-innocent, peering up through the sidewalk at marching terror? Did the boys represent the ideal for your Woman, Man, or Child of Excellent Bearing, Color, Balance, and Summer Disposition?
Converserly...Charles Halloway turned a page...did the scurrying freaks, the Illustrated Marvel, bear the foreheads of the Irascible, the Cruel, the Covetous, the mouths of the Lewd and Untruthful? the teeth of the Crafty, the Unstable, the Audacious, the Vainglorious, and your Marvelous Beast?
No. The book slipped shut. If faces were judged, the freaks were no worse than many he'd been slipping from the liberty late nights in his long career.
There was only one thing sure.
Two lines of Shakespeare said it. He should write them in the middle of the clock of books, to fix the heart of his apprehension:
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
So vague yet so immense.
He did not want to live with it.
Yet he knew that, during this night, unless he lived with it very well, he might have to live with it for all the rest of his life.
At the window he looked out and thought Jim, Will, are you coming? Will you get here?
Waiting, his flesh took paleness from his bones.
Ray Bradbury
Something Wicked This Way Comes, ending of chapter 37, page 137-138 from Bantam Books thirteenth paperback printing November, 1972

text:
In general, individual differences in educational achievement were to a large extent due to genes and the influence of the family environment was negligible. Moreover, there is no evidence for gender differences in the underlying etiology.
Taken from the abstract of "Arithmetic, reading and writing performance has a strong genetic component: A study in primary school children."
Hard determinism wins in the end. The !SCIENCE! is settled. You can truck your kiddoes to Kuman. You can do your bloody best to get them hooked on phonics; not on Chronic. Whether they play for the Green Bay Packers or the Green Bowl Packers has nothing to do with your behavior as a mommy or daddy. It simply doesn't matter. Either they win the sperm-shot lottery, or its Gorbutt, PA forever.
I utterly reject most of what I wrote in the paragraph above (but not quite all). It's there to caricature an unfortunate philosophical point of view. Determinism (religious, biological, social or financial) is often used as a pathetic copout. Families that produce multiple generations of athletes, scholars, business pioneers, war heroes, or successful politicians have more going for them than just Lilith's Enchanted Ovum and shining pools of +5 Sperm of Smiting. Family lines that consistently produce a certain quality do so because they repeatedly do something right long after they "put the biscuit in the basket."
A certain level of Bio-Determinism certainly exists. The odds of three generations of Berras playing Major League Baseball strictly at random are about even with my odds of walking into a Trump Casino, playing six hours of Red Dawg and ending the viability The Donald's candidacy just from the turn of a friendly card or two. The New York Yankees don't pick their starting catcher by throwing darts. Three generations of Bush didn't get elected at least governor, if not higher, just from social connections. What we on the Alt-Right call HBD has a significant but not overdetermining role in determining who ends up finishing where in life's grueling Ironman triathlon.
OK, so what else helps if I want my kids to be smarter, better-looking, and oh yeah, !RICHER! than I ever was? This is why we here at Amerika preach consequentialism. A lot of what you get out of life is the result of what you input. To do is to be said Socrates. It's like a mathematical function. You set the independent variable going in and then you get a certain result coming out. Determining which values of x will get you at least an acceptable y is analogous to the System Identification Problem from Systems Engineering.
In the JPW Family, the magic ticket from what hard-over HBD types describe as the genetic lottery is mathematical ability. We aren't all great at it, a lot of us know enough to bang out code, solve intricate systems, and build a good, basic predictive or explanatory mathematical model. We JPWs can do the stuff that gets you hired and out of Gorbutt. So how does that get passed on to the next generation like the baseball skills of Yogi Berra being handed down to Dale?
When you have a tradition, you fight for it. You demand of the generation that comes next. You preserve it athwart an entropic, collapsing world like Amerika. In my family we tell how my maternal grandfather worked as a mathematician for the US Navy. We Americans used to kill the enemy with our minds as well our drones. We let both our children know that we agree with Descartes with regards to which field of study will lead them to the highest rung on the ladder of thought.
In a partially, but not entirely np-complete fashion, genetics does matter. Yet, when it gets overplayed, determinism becomes both an excuse for failure and a facile justification for subtle and self-defeating forms of bigotry. Anyone who has either read Walter Williams or read about a fvcked-up Kennedy brat in rehab would logically concede this point.
HBD can be useful for making large-scale predictions. It doesn't turn you into a savant-like Hari Seldon. It does not excuse failure to make something out or your own life and relying on genetic determinism isn't going to get you into Harvard unless you are Princess Lieawatha.
Do what will make you successful and seek what you are naturally predestined to be good at. Both genetics and effort work together and can have positive or negative feedback with regards to determining whether you will get what you want out of life. Determinism is no excuse not to identify what works, codify it as tradition and establish Conservatism as a fight for those traditions that lead to superior outcomes.

Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest on Saturday, August 29th, a spokesperson for the family revealed today. August 29th would have marked Jackson's 51st birthday. According to a news release sent out by the Jackson family, the burial will take place at the Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Great Mausoleum at 10 a.m. PST. The service will only be open to close friends and family. Michael's father Joe Jackson previously hinted at a birthday burial for Michael, whose funeral has been delayed by multiple autopsies. In a statement, the Jackson family also said they "wish to express its gratitude to Michael's fans around the world for their support during these difficult times."
Photos from Jackson's all-star Los Angeles memorial.
In other Jackson news, although the results of the toxicology report remains sealed, the lawyer for Michael's mother Katherine Jackson says that the family is considering a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray, pending the results of the investigation into Michael Jackson's death, People reports. Murray has been the focus of the police's investigation, as Rock Daily previously reported; authorities believe Murray administered the powerful sedative Propofol to Jackson within 24 hours of the King of Pop's death. Additionally, reports state that Murray left Jackson unsupervised after administering Propofol to make phone calls.
Look back at Jackson's life and career, in photos.
Finally, a deal approving the sale of Michael Jackson merchandise was accepted yesterday by a Los Angeles court. The deal, between the co-executors of the Michael Jackson Estate and Bravado International Group Merchandising Services, allows for the production of Jackson-branded books, trading cards, online games and much more, the Los Angeles Times reports. The deal is expected to infuse $15 million into the Jackson estate. However, the judge presiding over the case of Jackson's estate postponed a ruling on a three-city tour of Jackson memorabilia after Katherine Jackson argued AEG Live, who was staging Jackson's This Is It tour, was receiving too much profits from the tour.

MS to request stay of EC ruling
Delaying action pending appeal
Microsoft is to ask for a stay of the EC ruling that it must share information with its competitors, pending its appeal.
The full appeal process - already filed with the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg - is legally complex and could take as long as five years to complete. A decision on a stay could be made much more quickly, even as early as this year, the FT reports.
The outcome of this latest move by Microsoft will have huge implications for the relationship between Brussels and the software giant. In March this year, the European Commission ordered Microsoft to pay a $600m fine; share interface information with its competitors and offer a version of Windows that does not include its Windows Media Player.
If the request for a stay is granted, Microsoft gets a huge amount of breathing space. It will still have to pay the fine, but as was reported at the time, that is small change to Microsoft. Conversely, if the request is denied, the European Commission may be sufficiently emboldened to pursue other legal actions against the company.
Even in the short term, this move is a nice delaying action. At the very least, the court is likely to suspend the Commission's ruling while the longer suspension request is considered, or risk prejudicing the outcome of the stay request.
Longer term, for the stay to be granted, Microsoft must show that it could suffer irreparable harm from the Commission's decision. ®

There's a point in the motorcyclists year when optimism begins to filter into the thought processes. It's usually when the calendar clicks over from February into March, and the effect is an expectation that the temperature will climb inexorably towards double figures, and most days will be dry.
It's hard to escape this thinking, even when the meteorological records are set before us. I remember a couple of years back that the first rounds of the British Superbike series were cancelled because it snowed...at Brands Hatch...in April. But like all the devout, nothing will divert us from the path we have come to believe in and practice. And so it was that I found myself dragging a bike out of the garage on St Patrick's Day Sunday; intent on a ride into the Derbyshire Peak District to watch riders tackle sections at the Bemrose National Trial.
A Question of Balance
It was forecast to be dry and around eight degrees. I can cope with that, but this figure is quoted as the expected peak temperature, and it was a somewhat cooler as I topped up the tank around 9.30am. I'd chosen to ride my 'hack' MZ660 over my 'best' Moto Guzzi, as I knew I'd be navigating some very nadgery roads and tracks. The Guzzi did tempt me; sitting there clad in its heated grips, but I enjoy the MZ. The big single Yamaha XT engine that's fitted in this bike is such a strong motor and a delight when blatting around narrow hilly terrain, and if I was hanging around trials sections, I needed to look the part too.
A good dose of nerve
Trials riding is such a civilised branch of motorcycle sport. It combines all the skill elements of motorcycling, including a good dose of nerve. But doesn't require large injections of cash to get set up and continue participating.
For those who haven't watched a trials event. The idea is simple - traverse a laid out section of land with obstacles, without putting your feet down or stopping. At the end of a competitive event, the rider with least penalty marks wins. Sounds easy, except that, depending on the category of event, trials sections can range from a relatively easy hill with tree roots and logs to manoeuvre across, to a nigh on impossible vertical rock face that needs courage to even contemplate!
From difficult to impossible!
Last year I spectated at a round of the World Championship, held in a quarry near Penrith in Cumbria. Most of the sections ranged from difficult to impossible. Yet, like those huge daunting obstacles you can see at indoor arena trials events; the expert riders managed to 'clean' them – the term used to denote a completion of a section with no loss of points – and it was wet.
The Bemrose sections were scattered over an area of the Peaks south west of Buxton. It would take me around one and half hours to ride there, and after a few miles the finger tips began to lose warmth. But the rest of the body was cosy, so continuous hand exercises were able to keep enough warm blood reaching those extremities.
Psychologically it didn't help that I knew a climb over the highest road in the Pennines, Holme Moss, was coming up. The temperature dropped a couple of degrees, and there's still a good smattering of snow up there, with deep drifts nestled into the folds and cracks of the hills. Bleak!
Despite the cold....
Not bleak enough though to discourage the half dozen cyclists on the hill. This is a popular torture for those who prefer pedal over engine power, and next July it will be thronged with thousands, lining the road to watch a stage of the Tour de France passing that way.
Despite the cold I was enjoying the ride on the big single. It's great riding country across the south Pennines into the Derbyshire Dales, with bends a plenty, dodgy road surfaces and the occasional strolling sheep to keep concentration alert. While gear shifting and braking helped keep frostbite at bay.
The list of competitors and the route the organisers published on line gave me an idea of where to head for to find the sections. At the junction where I had to turn into the narrow Dales roads that are essentially surfaced tracks serving farms and hamlets; there was a cafe and store. I stepped across the threshold into a small world of warmth, the source of which was a wood burning stove. My hands thawed and throbbed as a coffee and hot chocolate cake were set before me. It's these small moments of relatively simple pleasure that make personal motorcycle memories.
|Nice bit of snow to ride over
The Bemrose Trial
The Bemrose Trial is now in its eighty-third year, and is run over a forty mile course with twelve groups of sections for the one hundred plus competitors: a seven hour time limit is allowed to complete the course. Interestingly, and another sign of ageing motorcycle times, the over forties category was the largest in the entry list. Though it has to be said this is an 'ideal' sport for older riders. Modern trials bikes are light, well balanced, low and easy to manage, that is lift to upright if you topple in a section.
There's also the practice (good for a breather), whereby riders stop at the beginning of a section. Inspect the obstacles and choose their line. Have a chat with the observer (marker), wait for their mates, and engage in a bit of banter. Like I said earlier, very civilised. Oh, I almost forgot. Most of the riders call out a thanks to the observer as they leave the section.
Hollinsclough section
I found the section group I was looking for in the pretty hamlet of Hollinsclough. A steep, wet and rocky trail led to the section start where the observer and photographer from Trials magazine were waiting for the competitors to come through.
|Looks so peaceful!
The temperature had nudged up a few degrees for the ride home. My hands had more feeling and feeling more comfortable encouraged some spirited riding, with the reverberations from the big Yamaha/MZ silencer bouncing off the dry stone walls when the revs were pushed to the five thousand mark.
I stowed the muddy MZ, and gave the boots a preliminary brush. The forecasters tell of more cold, frost, fog and damp before any glimpse of the Rite of Spring, sun on our backs, rides to the coast, touring plans, race meetings, ferry bookings, and as I key these last few words...it's snowing.

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- ChevronTexaco Corp. plans to spend $37 million on exploration and development in Alaska this year, up 48 percent from the $25 million the company spent last year.
Wade Fennel, development manager for ChevronTexaco's new Alaska business unit, told Petroleum News Alaska that approximately $13 million would be spent on the Point Thomson unit, scheduled to come on line in 2008, and $24 million on other North Slope exploration and development.
ChevronTexaco holds approximately 417,300 exploration net acres in Alaska's Arctic, including the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, the central North Slope, Brooks Range foothills, the Beaufort Sea McCovey prospect and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Despite its long-standing one-third interest in Cook Inlet's Beluga River gas field, since its return to Alaska as an explorer, ChevronTexaco has focused on the North Slope.
''We're not doing anything yet in Cook Inlet. We only have so many resources and we think the opportunities are on the North Slope right now,'' Fennel said.
Part of the reason ChevronTexaco is not interested in Cook Inlet is because it believes Unocal has the gas market cornered.
''We were bothered by the contract they entered into with Enstar,'' Fennel said, referring to Unocal's exclusive agreement to provide natural gas to Enstar.
In comments to the Regulatory Commission of Alaska on the Unocal-Enstar agreement, Chevron officials said they did not think the contract promoted gas exploration by other players in the Cook Inlet basin because Enstar is the major buyer of inlet gas.
As for oil, ''Forest has had some recent success in the inlet, but it has been studied pretty heavily by people looking for oil. Anadarko was looking for oil in the inlet; Forcenergy (now Forest Oil) was looking for oil and they found it later on, but there have been a number of companies looking for oil and they have had difficulty finding it in Cook Inlet,'' Fennel said.
ChevronTexaco has not ruled out taking another a look at the Cook Inlet basin in the future, he said.
ChevronTexaco's Alaska business unit, officially formed in the days following federal approval of the merger of Chevron and Texaco in October, is headquartered in Houston. The group also has an Alaska office, opened last year in Anchorage.
The unit has 20 members between the two offices, including employees and contractors, Fennel said. The Anchorage office has three full-time employees.
Current Alaska production is 9,500 barrels oil net for Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and 1,500 barrels for Texaco Exploration and Production Inc. for a total of 11,000 barrels, Fennel said.

The Foggy Bottom Metro station has reopened following an incident in which a person was struck and killed by a train Thursday afternoon, transit officials said.
The accident happened about 2:12 p.m., when a man apparently placed himself in front of an inbound Orange Line train, a Metro spokesman said.
Metro chief spokesman Dan Stessel said the person was a male in his 50's. He was taken to George Washington University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Service on the both the Orange and Blue lines was returned to normal at around 3:45 p.m. though some delays were likely to remain. Trains had been single-tracking on both lines in the aftermath of the accident. The Foggy Bottom station was closed for just under an hour.
Officials said because a portion of the train traveling in-bound from Rosslyn had made it into the station before the incident occurred, they were able to safely off-load riders. No other injuries were reported.
The incident occurred as a presentation on suicides in the transit system was being given to members of the Metro board, who are meeting today.
The accident temporarily tied up traffic in the area after D.C. Police closed Northbound and Southbound 23rd Street, NW between I Street to Washington Circle. The street was reopened just after 3:30 p.m.
Metro General Manager Richard Sarles told the board that a person apparently intentionally jumped in front of train.
Metro said 200 train operators and station managers have been trained on suicide intervention, but the agency hopes to train 896 by 2013.

to you and all the other people who say "is this goin to mess up my rotation? qq" it's goin to be the exact same as it always has been, if you watch your dots down the tenth of a second. we don't have a rotation. we have a priority system.
Posted my results comparing Live vs. PTR here last night. The best target dummy DPS I've been able to push is about 5k, or around 8-9% higher than live. Fully raid buffed it should be 10% or a little more (though my gear has around 700 haste - I doubt people with lower levels of haste will see as much of an increase).
Yeah, we kinda do. Dots up at all times, plus the mb mf mf combo. the dots having haste kinda makes the dots tick faster and drop off quicker. im asking if that screws us up too much int he mf partOriginally Posted by enotsdarb
It's not as dumb a question as it sounds... the haste effect could create a situation where DoTs constantly conflict with MB CDs... as it stands with 2pc T9 I have the occasional DP/MB conflict only, one of the major sources of lost DPS is MB/VT conflicts which are currently a non issue.Originally Posted by enotsdarb
From my testing, I think we're in for more changes on the mana management side of things. Even with the shadow word pain buff, I'm still running short on mana a lot quicker then usual.
In terms of a strait DPS increase... yeah, I notice a big difference. It'll be nice to walk into the raid and give that freaking top dog rogue in my guild a run for his money.
ah..i wish i could copy my char to PTR..this changes are so attractive..
Jesus christ Spriests are finally being buffed to a usefull level... and people whine over "it will screw up my rotaion"...
I don't know why our "rotation" (lol), would be any different.
Mind Blast will still be priority, and you'll still need to keep your dots rolling 99% of the time... it's just... they'll wear off faster now.
So you'll need to be on the ball a little more.
He didnt say that, he only asked if it will change MUCH or not NOTICEABLE....but i say the more haste u get the more u will notice.Originally Posted by Príckenöveri
And the real question is: Do this changes go live or not ^_^ Atleast on the next days when Boss Testings are, we will see where the shadowpriests stands.
-Edit- I found a WoL Log from a Guild who killed the first Boss in ICC ( ToGC25 clear)
but i guess this fight favors DoT Classes thats why the Shadow is so high and melees are so "bad" (its like satura from aq40 with her WW)

UI signs four gymnasts
Four recruits, including Wheaton's Laura Ruffalo, signed national letters of intent with Illinois coach Bob Starkell's women's gymnastics program.
Besides Ruffalo, Margaret Dann of St. Petersburg, Fla., Lauren Newcomb of Evansville, Ind., and Ashley Williams of Tuscaloosa, Ala., signed with the UI.
Ruffalo attends Wheaton Warrenville South and performed in 1999 at regionals and was an alternate at nationals.
"We are excited about recruiting Laura because she is an in-state recruit," Starkell said. "She has a strong interest in the university, and she will be a strong asset to the program."
