Original post published 17th May 2009 on my blog http://genemeet.blogspot.co.uk/
The following article was sent to me by a relation of mine who is related to this person. I decided to post this as this person was the answer to a question in the Radio Times and the name struck a chord with me. I should have known the answer but I didn't twig that this was the same person.
Ronald Ross
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1902
Ronald Ross was born on May 13, 1857, as the son of Sir C.C.G. Ross, a General in the English army. He commenced the study of medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London in 1875; entered the Indian Medical Service in 1881. He commenced the study of malaria in 1892. In 1894 he determined to make an experimental investigation in India of the hypothesis of Laveran and Manson that mosquitoes are connected with the propagation of the disease. After two and a half years' failure, Ross succeeded in demonstrating the life-cycle of the parasites of malaria in mosquitoes, thus establishing the hypothesis of Laveran and Manson. In 1899 he joined the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine under the direction of Sir Alfred Jones. He was immediately sent to West Africa to continue his investigations, and there he found the species of mosquitoes which convey the deadly African fever. Since then the School has been unremitting in its efforts to improve health, and especially to reduce the malaria in West Africa. Ross' researches have been confirmed and assisted by many distinguished authorities, especially by Koch, Daniels, Bignami, Celli, Christophers, Stephens, Annett, Austen, Ruge, Ziemann, and many others.
In 1901 Ross was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and also a Fellow of the Royal Society, of which he became Vice-President from 1911 to 1913. In 1902 he was appointed a Companion of the Most Honourable Order of Bath by His Majesty the King of Great Britain. In 1911 he was elevated to the rank of Knight Commander of the same Order. In Belgium, he was made an Officer in the Order of Leopold II.
In 1902 a movement was set on foot to commemorate the valuable services rendered to the School of Tropical Medicine by its originator and Chairman, Sir Alfred Jones, by founding a Chair of Tropical Medicine in University College to be connected with the School. The movement was met with enthusiastic support, and an amount of money was quickly collected sufficient to found «Sir Alfred Jones' Chair of Tropical Medicine». Ross was appointed to the Professorship in 1902 and retained the Chair until 1912, when he left Liverpool, and was appointed Physician for Tropical Diseases at Kings College Hospital, London, a post which he held together with the Chair of Tropical Sanitation in Liverpool. He remained in these posts until 1917, when he was appointed Consultant in Malariology to the War Office, his service in this capacity, and in special connection with epidemic malaria then occurring on combatant troops, being recognized by his elevation to the rank of Knight Commander, St. Michael and St. George, in 1918. He was later appointed Consultant in Malaria to the Ministry of Pensions. In 1926 he assumed the post of Director in Chief of the Ross Institute and Hospital of Tropical Diseases and Hygiene, which had been created by admirers of his work, and he remained in this position until his death. He was also a President of the Society of Tropical Medicine. His Memoirs (London, 1923) were «inscribed to the people of Sweden and the memory of Alfred Nobel».
During this active career, Ross' interest lay mainly in the initiation of measures for the prevention of malaria in different countries of the world. He carried out surveys and initiated schemes in many places, including West Africa, the Suez Canal zone, Greece, Mauritius, Cyprus, and in the areas affected by the 1914-1918 war. He also initiated organizations, which have proved to be well established, for the prevention of malaria within the planting industries of India and Ceylon. He made many contributions to the epidemiology of malaria and to methods of its survey and assessment, but perhaps his greatest was the development of mathematical models for the study of its epidemiology, initiated in his report on Mauritius in 1908, elaborated in his Prevention of Malaria in 1911 and further elaborated in a more generalized form in scientific papers published by the Royal Society in 1915 and 1916. These papers represented a profound mathematical interest which was not confined to epidemiology, but led him to make material contributions to both pure and applied mathematics. Those related to «pathometry» are best known and, 40 years later, constitute the basis of much of the epidemiological understanding of insect-borne diseases.
Through these works Ross continued his great contribution in the form of the discovery of the transmission of malaria by the mosquito, but he also found time and mental energy for many other pursuits, being poet, playwright, writer and painter. Particularly, his poetic works gained him wide acclamation which was independent of his medical and mathematical standing.
He received many honours in addition to the Nobel Prize, and was given Honorary Membership of learned societies of most countries of Europe, and of many other continents. He got an honorary M.D. degree in Stockholm in 1910 at the centenary celebration of the Caroline Institute. Whilst his vivacity and single-minded search for truth caused friction with some people, he enjoyed a vast circle of friends in Europe, Asia and America who respected him for his personality as well as for his genius.
Ross married Rosa Bessie Bloxam in 1889. They had two sons, Ronald and Charles, and two daughters, Dorothy and Sylvia. His wife died in 1931, Ross survived her until a year later, when he died after a long illness, at the Ross Institute, London, on September 16, 1932.

Though the Firearm Blog and Lyle voiced their concerns about Microsoft being the latest in a line of companies to refuse their business to those engaged in lawful commerce in arms, I think their criticisms are, for the most part, unfounded.
The currently-in-force agreement incorporates the code of conduct that bans the sale of firearms and ammunition (the 2009 code of conduct referenced by TFB). However, MS has updated its terms of service (as of June 11, 2014), and the new terms–which go into effect on July 31, 2014 and replace the current terms–do not incorporate the reference to the 2009 code of conduct. If you wish to read the outgoing terms, they are listed halfway down the page under the heading "Archived Microsoft Services Agreement."
The new terms also do not ban using the products to sell firearms or ammunition; instead of a long list of prohibited conduct, they have cut it back to general principles:
i. Don't use the Services to do anything illegal.
ii. Don't engage in any activity that exploits, harms, or threatens to harm children.
iii. Don't send spam or use your account to help others send spam. Spam is unsolicited bulk email, postings or instant messages.
iv. Don't publicly display inappropriate images (e.g. nudity, bestiality, pornography).
v. Don't engage in activity that is false or misleading (e.g. attempts to ask for money under false pretenses, impersonating someone else).
vi. Don't engage in activity that is harmful to the Services or others (e.g. viruses, stalking, hate speech, advocating violence against others).
vii. Don't infringe upon the rights of others (e.g. unauthorized sharing of copyrighted music, resale or other distribution of Bing maps, photographs and other Content).
viii. Don't engage in activity that violates the privacy of others."
Those are all of the restrictions in section 3.6: "What type of Content or actions aren't permitted?
So while it is technically true that the Microsoft Services Agreement–as it stands right now–prohibits using its products in conjunction with the sale of arms or ammunition, at the end of July it will not.

Sandra HodgeBasketball Player, 1980-87
University of New Orleans/Harlem Globetrotters
Inducted: 1995
Sandra Hodge, a native of Clinton, Miss., played basketball for the Buc-kettes from 1980-84 and holds virtually every school scoring record. She also ranks in the top five on UNO's career lists for rebounds, assists and steals.
Her 26.7 career scoring average is second in Division I women's history since the NCAA began compiling official statistics in the 1981-82 season, behind Patricia Hoskins of Mississippi Valley State (28.4). Entering the 2009 season, Hodge's 2,860 career points ranks 11th all-time in Division I history.
The 5-foot-9 forward-guard led UNO to an 88-29 record in four seasons, winning 20 games every year. To date, Hodge ranks first in field goals (1,179), second in rebounds (948), second in steals (239) and second in free throw percentage (81 percent).
Hodge would later become one of the few women to ever play for the previously all-male Harlem Globetrotters. Additionally, she had her number retired on February 23, 1989.

TIMONIUM, Md. (AP) _ Computers, speaker systems and even a pool
table that once belonged to Curt Schilling's video game company are
on the auction block.
The former Red Sox pitcher's company, 38 Studios, filed for
bankruptcy in June and is getting rid of everything from
electronics to furniture.
The first of two auctions is scheduled for Tuesday in Maryland.
The second will be held next week at the firm's Providence
The products were on display Monday at a Timonium, Md., office
building that once housed Big Huge Games, a studio acquired by
Schilling's 38 Studios in 2009.
Rhode Island lured the company from Massachusetts with a $75
million loan guarantee. Auctioneer Sal Corio says there's been
ample interest in the auctions, but he doesn't expect them to raise
$75 million.

Bob Hope Airport officials are dealing with a double dose of bad news this week as the number of passengers using the airport slid by more than 8% in July and the airport's largest carrier announced that it will cut more than 40 flights a week at the Burbank airfield.
The airport handled 318,859 passengers in July, an 8.24% decrease compared to 347,501 in July 2012, according to statistics released by the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority on Tuesday.
The drop continues a summertime slump, with a decline of roughly 3.5% in June. That was preceded by slight increases in May and March.
As the passenger numbers take a dive, the airport's largest carrier — Southwest Airlines — recently told airfield officials it will discontinue 42 round-trip flights weekly from Burbank at the end of the month.
All destinations will be affected, according to an airport staff report.
Southwest representatives could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
Deputy Executive Director Denis Carvill said Southwest is reducing its number of flights at Burbank as part of a fleet reorganization following its merger with AirTran.
Southwest is flying planes with slightly more seats at Bob Hope now and it's working to increase its flights from being 60% full to around 75%, Carvill said, adding that most airlines strive to fly at 80% capacity.
"It's not a good-news report," Carvill said. "Southwest is confident their schedule will bring in the same number of passengers.... We lose landing fees, that's the impact."
Dan Feger, the airport's executive director, said on Tuesday the passenger decline was due in large part to the continued negative impact the sluggish economy has had on leisure travel nationwide.
"There were several factors as to why July was such a poor month, and the biggest factor was probably the economy," he said.
John Hatanaka, the airport's senior deputy executive director, said the July decline is also due in part to the loss of JetBlue daytime flights and an overall drop in Southwest passengers across the country.
Hatanaka said the airport was also hurt by flights that were canceled and delayed in the wake of the Asiana Airlines crash, and subsequent flight restrictions, at San Francisco International.
Following the crash, United Airlines canceled 12 flights to San Francisco, and 50 flights on the route were deemed "excessively late," according to Hatanaka.
"When it's that late, that's when people start canceling their flights," he said.
During the first seven months of 2013, roughly 2.2 million passengers traveled through Bob Hope Airport, a 4.8% drop from roughly 2.35 million passengers during the same period last year.
Meanwhile, other airports in the region reported a mixed bag of passenger totals in June. Los Angeles International Airport and John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana saw 4.5% and 2.2% increases, respectively. However, Ontario Airport reported a 12% decline and Long Beach Airport saw a 3% drop.
In addition, after several months of significant increases, parking revenues lagged at Bob Hope in July. Parking revenues increased by almost 0.1% in July, bringing in roughly $1.41 million, compared with $1.39 million in July 2012.
Despite the increase, the parking revenues were below what airport officials budgeted for the month — $1.5 million — and follow several months of increases of 4% or higher stemming from recent rate hikes in the airport's parking lots.

Henry Hank wrote:Who's to say his strategy will work? He'll likely get his money, but the big part of his strategy was winning the Cup this year and then making the money. Even if Detroit is favored, the odds aren't great for a team repeating. He joined an older team in which most of its members have already won multiple Cups. He abandoned an up and coming, very hungry team with unfinished business. Stacked teams in sports rarely seem to do as well as they're expected to do. I hope Hossa gets burned by trying to take the easy way out. I hope he never wins a Cup. Better yet, I hope the Pens are the team that personally prevents him from winning it this year. It's hard to even imagine how glorious that moment would be.
Your posts on this, the past couple of days, seem to mirror my own.
I was indifferent to Hossa's decision until I read in SI, in his own quoted words, that he approached Detroit while leaving Shero waiting on a string.

From ZineWiki
Pigguts started in a hot and sunny summer of 2004 when Robert Roura was starting his long comic called "Bad day", in the same moment, Pere Saguer also made some short comics which have some similar purposes: death, blood and knifes. All got mixed in a group of A4 folded papers print in black and white, the mixture was called Pigguts.
After that, some other artist have been collaborating in some numbers: Quim Bou or Miquel Casals for example.
- Pigguts 1
- Bad day
- Pigguts 2
- Periodism
- Pigguts 3
- I like blood, I like pain
- Pigguts 4
- Animal Issue
- Pigguts 5
- Will you head hold on today?
- Pigguts 6
- Exclusive for mature readers
- Pigguts Collection
- Hot violent stories
The zine stopped publishing on his "Pigguts collection" but there is nothing written about his death so, maybe one day we can find Pigguts again in our lives.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Supporters of far-reaching immigration legislation rejected a challenge Wednesday from Senate conservatives demanding evidence that the nation's borders are secure before millions living in the United States unlawfully can gain legal status.
The vote came as lawmakers on both sides of the issue digested a startling Congressional Budget Office forecast that the bill would fail to prevent a steady increase in illegal residents in the future, even though it would grant legal status to millions already in the country without the necessary papers.
"Illegality will not be stopped, but it will only be reduced by 25 percent," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., referring to the prediction by the non-partisan CBO.
Only a day earlier, the CBO had cheered supporters of the bill with an estimate that it would help the economy and reduce deficits in each of the next two decades.
The long-term impact of the assessment of future illegal immigration was unclear, with supporters of the measure maneuvering for the 60 votes necessary for passage as early as next week.
A small group of Republicans, including Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee, has been trying to find middle ground on the border security issue in recent days, an effort that accelerated Wednesday.
"This is a key moment in the effort to pass the bill," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the bipartisan Gang of Eight that drafted the legislation yet who also wants to toughen its border security provisions.
In the short-term, the vote on a challenge from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., showed the bipartisan Senate coalition behind the bill was holding. The proposal was set aside on a vote of 61-37.
Paul said his proposal would require Congress to vote annually for five years on whether the border is secure. If lawmakers decide it is not, "then the processing of undocumented workers stops until" it is, he said. The decision would be made based on numerous factors, including progress toward completion of a double-layered fence along the U.S.-Mexico border and toward a goal of 95 percent capture of illegal entrants. A system to track the border comings and goings of foreigners is also required.
Many of the same standards are included in the legislation pending in the Senate, but their implementation is not required for the government to begin granting legal status to millions who are currently in the country illegally.
That difference — a border security protection plan on the one hand, and a strategy shown to be effective on the other — has emerged as a key fault line in the immigration struggle now unfolding in both houses of Congress.
It was unclear how Graham and other Republicans were hoping to finesse the differences.
The Senate plodded through a series of votes on the legislation as House Republican leaders sought to present a friendlier face to Hispanics — a group that gave President Barack Obama more than 70 percent support in last year's presidential election.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, arranged a meeting with the Democratic-dominated House Hispanic Caucus, while rank and file members of his party reviewed areas of agreement with faith-based Latino leaders.
"It's a conversation Republicans want to have," said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash.
At the same time, though, anti-immigration protesters moved across the Capitol plaza into range of television cameras, raising signs that said, "Do Not Reward Criminals" and "No Amnesty for Illegal Aliens."
Some of the Senate's most vocal critics of the bill have said they could support a pathway to citizenship for those in the country illegally if the borders were first secure.
In general, Republicans want to make sure the borders are secure and future illegal immigration is halted before legal status is granted to anyone currently in the country illegally. For the most part, Democrats want to let the legalization begin while steps are being implemented to secure the borders.
While the Senate debated its measure, the House Judiciary Committee worked on legislation to create a new guest farm worker program that would permit foreigners to take temporary jobs in the United States.
The measure is one of several that the panel is considering in the final weeks of June as part of a piece-by-piece approach to immigration rather than the all-in-one bill that Senate is considering.
In addition to border security measures and a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the country illegally, the Senate bill provides more visas for highly-skilled workers prized by the technology industry, a guest worker farm program and a new program for lower-skilled workers to come to the United States.
Associated Press writer Laurie Kellman contributed to this report.

High-scoring Hawks roll past Jazz, 118-85
The Atlanta Hawks are slowly picking up the ball-movement
lessons Mike Budenholzer learned as a longtime assistant with the
Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah
Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their
offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the
Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the
fourth time in five games.
The Hawks had 32 assists, adding to their NBA lead and bringing
a smile to the face of their first-year coach.
"It's an indication they're just getting a better and better
understanding of the ball movement and how we want to play,"
Budenholzer said. "Passing and hitting the open guy just becomes
something that's expected."
Atlanta set a scoring high with its 124-107 win over Sacramento
on Wednesday night and has topped 110 points in three straight
Al Horford, who had 23 points, has been a key in the recent
flurry of high-scoring games. He has averaged 23.6 points in his
last five games.
Williams, who has played in only 14 games in his return from
knee surgery, took extra shooting practice after scoring only two
points in 20 minutes in Wednesday night's win over Sacramento.
"I'm glad it paid off," Williams said. "It was one of the
nights we had everything clicking."
The Hawks never trailed and pushed their lead to double digits
for good in the opening period. They kept up the pressure,
outscoring Utah in every period and making 52.3 percent of their
shots (45 of 86) from the field.
Budenholzer said the most encouraging sign was "not so much
putting them away, but just continuing to play the way we play,
just doing the things we did to establish a lead. Tonight was a
step forward in that direction."
Jeff Teague had nine points and eight assists.
Horford was resting when the Hawks took an 85-58 lead into the
final period.
"Our energy was the difference," Horford said.
The Jazz agreed.
"It's a mental thing," said Utah's Derrick Favors. "We've
just got to come out with the energy and the attitude like they had
against us tonight."
It was a letdown for Utah coach Tyrone Corbin following a win at
Orlando on Wednesday night.
"I thought we didn't come out with the sense of urgency we'd
been seeing," Corbin said. "I thought we'd turned the corner, I
felt like, the way we played in Orlando the other night. I was
looking for that effort. We just didn't have it from the beginning
Enes Kanter had 13 points and 13 rebounds for Utah (7-22). Alec
Burks also had 13 points. Trey Burke, who scored a career-high 30
points against Orlando, made only 1 of 8 shots for two points.
Atlanta's Paul Millsap had 14 points and 10 rebounds against his
former Utah teammates.
The Hawks took their largest halftime lead of the season,
pulling ahead by 21 points to lead 55-34 at the break. Horford had
14 points in the half.
Kyle Korver extended his NBA record by making a 3-pointer in his
96th consecutive game. His made the first of his two 3s with 4:24
remaining in the first period.
Utah had a scare midway through the third quarter when Gordon
Hayward was slow to return to his feet following a collision with
Teague as the two were reaching for a loose ball. Hayward remained
in the game following a timeout and finished with 11 points.
Jeremy Evans, the 2012 slam-dunk competition champion, missed a
dunk and then landed hard on his back with 7:53 remaining, giving
the Jazz another scare. Following a brief delay, Evans remained in
the game and had 10 points.
NOTES: The Jazz are 0-11 on the road and 1-13 overall when
trailing at halftime. … Atlanta leads the NBA with its average of
25.3 assists per game. … Hawks G Cartier Martin (sprained left
ankle) and F Gustavo Ayon (left ankle) have missed five straight
games. … Williams was 6 of 10 from 3-point range.

Welcome to the Notary Public page. Notaries public have an important role in Kansas. The notary public prevents fraud and forgery by acting as an official, unbiased witness to the identity of the person who signs a document.
All 50 states have notaries public, but there are slight differences in the laws and requirements for them in each state. Though there are many similarities, each state can have significant differences in the requirements for appointment and length of commission, as well as the power and duties of a notary.
The Notary Application prescribed by the secretary of state is available to download from our Web site either by clicking on the link above or by going to the notary public section of Filings & Forms in the left hand navigation. You also may download the Change of Status form and Notary Handbook here.
Our office also certifies documents by applying authentications or Apostilles to documents that are going out of the country for official use. These countries require a competent state authority - in Kansas it is the secretary of state - to certify that the notarization was completed by a Kansas notary public.

Being a goal-oriented person who prides himself on pushing beyond pain and discomfort in order to achieve goals, it was a tough reality for me to face having to drop out short of the finish line in my first attempt at completing a 100-mile foot race. It was dark and nearly moonless and I was alone ascending the third of four big climbs in the race when the deep cough I'd been fighting for the last three days was first accompanied by a metallic taste. I kept running, hoping that it was just another obstacle to overcome, but the taste kept getting stronger with each successive hack and a quarter-mile later I coughed into my hand and hesitantly took a look with my flashlight. I wasn't surprised at the bright-red blood that was smeared across my palm, but the amount was a lot more than I expected.
Brian on the Bonneville Salt Flats course
My first emotion was anger mixed with a lot of frustration. I had trained hard for months in order to get my legs and my lungs strengthened to the point that they could handle the rigors of a 100-mile race that would start on the famed Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah and then head into the rocky and sun-baked hills that rose above. I had a nutrition and hydration strategy that was dialed in and I was giddy with excitement to prove to myself that I could take on a challenge that would have sounded as foreign, and absurd, to me as flapping my arms and flying to the Moon just three years earlier when I was 75 pounds heavier and would have struggled to run a downhill mile.
I was angry that just three days before the race I was sitting at my desk at work and could feel an illness coming on. I hadn't been sick in more than a year and right when I needed my health the most I could feel it failing me. It turned into a nasty chest and sinus infection accompanied by a splitting headache. I could have dealt with a stomach flu or something of that nature, but having my lungs taken away from me before running 100 miles just wasn't fair.
Just after the gun sounded. Brian is following the lead runner who will eventually go on to win the race.
I decided to go forward with the 12-hour drive to Wendover, Nevada with my support team (my parents) and the hope that I was just experiencing a passing cold that wouldn't develop into anything too detrimental. Unfortunately, the cold kept getting worse and worse and the headache was incapacitating. I spent the day before the race lying on my bed in a casino hotel room trying to think positive thoughts. When my alarm went off at 5:30 the morning of the race, I thought I felt a little better and decided that I would start the race and give it my best shot.
At 7am the gun sounded and we were off. The first ten miles was spent crossing the Bonneville Salt Flats, where world land speed records were routinely set (none of those were in jeopardy on this day), before heading up into the mountains. The landscape was harsh and barren, but had its own sort of beauty and I was enjoying running in an environment that was so different from my home in the lush Pacific Northwest. I felt better than expected at the start, but this probably had a lot to do with the adrenaline and excitement of starting a race and the fact that I was on one of the flattest surfaces on Earth.
Breathing was difficult for the first ten hours, but my legs were strong and I was in the top third of the field, which made me think that I not only had a shot of finishing this thing, but that I may even turn in a respectable time despite being handicapped by my lungs. After about 50 miles I started feeling a lot of pain deep in my lungs, like something was tearing. This progressed until reaching the 70-mile mark and the first sign of blood.
50 miles in and the first sign of trouble
By mile 71 it was obvious to me that pushing on for the last marathon of the course was going to be an unwise decision and I knew that I was going to have to pull out at the next aid station at mile 74.5. It was an easy decision to make; I had read about people doing permanent damage to their bodies by pushing farther than they should and one race wasn't worth long-term damage, but my legs still felt good and I really wanted to feel the elation of crossing the finish line after 100 miles. About two miles after making the decision to withdraw, the trail intersected a dirt road that it followed to the next aid station. Just up this road I saw a pair of familiar headlights coming at me; it was my parents driving the road to see how I was doing. My race was over after 14 hours and 52 minutes; I had covered 73 miles.
It wasn't meant to be on this day, but there's no looking back next time!
After reflecting on the experience I can look back at it and truly say it was positive. I learned a lot and came away with the confidence that even the absurd can be possible if the effort and desire are there. I planned on returning next year to finish what I started and I still intend to, but the prospect of waiting another year to complete a 100-mile race wasn't appealing to me so I went ahead and signed up for the Pony Express 100, which will take place in October. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my kids don't bring any more of their cooties home from school.

Aug. 17, 2006
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara junior defender Andy Iro has been named to the 2006 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Watch List, it was announced today by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Iro was also named a College Soccer News Preseason-All American for the second consecutive year.
Iro becomes the second player in UCSB men's soccer history to be named to the 25-man list after teammate Tyler Rosenlund received the honor as a sophomore in 2005. The list will eventually determine the NCAA Division I Player of the Year.
The first two-time All-American in program history, the Liverpool, England native was one of nine juniors to make the prestigious list.
"This really is quite an honor," Iro said. "It's great to be recognized as potentially the top player in Division I soccer. It's not only a personal honor, but an honor for the entire program as well. It shows how hard we have worked the last few years to get where we are today."
Iro was named the Big West Defensive Player of the Year after anchoring a Gaucho defense that held their opponents to a 0.87 goals against average and a total of nine shutouts in 2005. Offensively, he chipped in with four goals and three assists, both of which were tops among Gaucho defenders.
"We feel that there is no player more dominant in college soccer right now than Andy Iro," eighth-year head coach Tim Vom Steeg said. "To be named to the Hermann Watch List and considered one of the best players in the country entering his junior year is a tremendous accomplishment."
The winner of the M.A.C.'s Hermann Trophy will be determined by a panel of NSCAA Division I member coaches. A list of 15 semifinalists will be announced in early November, with three finalists announced during the NCAA Tournament. They will be invited to St. Louis on Saturday, Dec. 2, for the announcement of the winner at a press conference to be held in conjunction with the Men's College Cup. Both the men's and women's winners will be presented the prestigious crystal soccer ball trophy at a banquet later that evening.
Iro was selected to the College Soccer News Preseason All-American First Team after earning second team honors prior to the start of last season. The sophomore was also named to the Soccer America Preseason All-American First Team in 2005. He went on to earn Third Team All-American honors from the NSCAA.
Iro and the rest of the 21st-ranked Gauchos begin preseason play this Saturday, August 19th against crosstown rival Westmont in the 44th Annual Bryant & Sons Cup. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Harder Stadium.

Bears' Jay Cutler breaks thumb
Bears coach Lovie Smith confirmed Monday that quarterback Jay Cutler is sidelined with a broken thumb on his right throwing hand but said he was unsure of the outlook. "Jay does have a right thumb fracture," Smith said during an appearance on WBBM-AM 780. "He hurt it on the tackle on the interception. Of course, we took X-rays last night and he'll be seeing specialists this morning and we'll be able to tell you a little more after that."

Though we have a source image for this week's 'Shop Contest, this one will be thrown open to your imagination and whatever you can scrape together to illustrate it. The "Super Nincoffee Jr." shown yesterday provoked a comment thread of other console/kitchen appliance mashups that deserve some form of graphical representation. We know there are more out there too. Find them. Or, well, no; create them.
Source Image: The Super Nincoffee Jr. (Feel free to use other images you may find.)
That's the the father-son project of Tyler and his Dad, a working Super Nintendo with a coffee maker casemod (the second they've built, actually). I know there's a longstanding Nintoaster joke out there, as well as a PlayStation 3 George Foreman grill. Cribbing off of either of those won't get you anywhere. Your job is to make either the Super Nincoffee Jr. better (or put it in a funnier situation), or reveal something that will make us stop longing for Ouya or Orbis or Durango or whatever's coming up next in console hardware.
Reminder: There's a new forum for 'Shop Contest submissions that will display them in the chronological order familiar to the contest under our old comments format. I've gone ahead and set up the forum with one of our patented Kotaku block arrows showing you where this week's submissions begin. When I judge the entries for the roundup I'll close it out with another arrow later in the week.
Because of this, comments are disabled in this post to avoid confusion. You must visit the 'Shop Contest Forum to participate After you create your 'Shop, you'll need to post it there. Here are the rest of the guidelines for doing so.

Attempting to grow its influence in the living room, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly asked cable operators to let consumers use an Apple device as a set-top box for live TV and other content.
Continue Reading Below
Apple doesn't seem to have reached a deal with any of the cable companies yet, but the company is in talks with Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC), The Wall Street Journal reported.
Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt at Allen & Co.'s media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho last month, the paper said.
The report comes as Apple attempts push its way into the living room. The tech behemoth sold 1.3 million of its $99 Apple TV devices last quarter, up 170% year-over-year but still well below sales of its blockbuster iPhone and iPad devices.
It's not clear yet if cable operators like Time Warner and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) will allow Apple to nudge its way into the TV business.
"They really have no reason to do it," Rob Enderle, president of the Enderle Group, told FOX Business. "This game is rigged. The cable companies own the game and they don't want anybody else at the table."
Under the current model, most cable customers rent TV boxes from their cable companies, paying a monthly fee of around $10 to $15. These devices are manufactured by companies like Samsung and TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO).
Cable companies have come under increasing pressure in recent years from alternatives like Hulu and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
Shares of Apple ticked up 0.57% to $634.19 Thursday, leaving them up more than 56% so far this year.

The Green Bay Packers will play the Chicago Bears this week without safety Charles Woodson, who already has missed six games because of a broken collarbone. Packers coach Mike McCarthy made the announcement during his news conference Wednesday.
|Check out the best photos of Packers vs. Bears matchups through the years.
McCarthy said Woodson was "frustrated" that he won't be cleared to take part in the latest chapter of the NFL's oldest rivalry.
"He's ready to play, but doctors feel we're going to hold him out of the game," said McCarthy, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Mike Vandermause.
The Packers will have to rely on young defensive backs to hold up their secondary for at least another week. NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Casey Hayward, along with M.D. Jennings, Davon House and Jarron McMillian, will try to ground the Bears' passing game Sunday.
The Packers are correct in being cautious with Woodson. They'd love to have him against the Bears, but they'd rather have him healthy for the playoff run. A setback could end Woodson's season.

State health officials have awarded $27 million in grants to help enroll more than a million uninsured New Yorkers in a new health insurance marketplace for coverage starting next year.
The grants will go to 50 organizations that will help applicants, including individuals, families and small businesses and their employees, get into the federally required and subsidized marketplace for buyers.
Enrollment begins Oct. 1. Health department officials expect to enroll about 1.1 million people with assistance in every county and in 48 languages. There are about 2.7 million uninsured people in New York.
"We want consumers and small business owners to know that we're here to help them understand their health plan options, qualify for financial assistance and enroll in a health plan through the exchange," said Donna Frescatore, exchange executive director. The state estimate of new enrollees includes 615,000 individuals and 450,000 employees of small businesses.[content-variable]RELATED: Deadline looms for Obamacare[/content-variable]
While the Obama administration recently announced a one-year delay in penalties for employers who don't offer affordable coverage to workers considered full time, the state's analysis shows penalties are not the driving force behind the planned expansion in coverage, health department spokesman Bill Schwarz said. That change is expected to have little effect on New York's exchange, he said.
The grants to 50 organizations, supported by 96 subcontractors, are expected to provide free in-person enrollment help with more than 430 trained and certified staff, according to the department.
Officials plan to award $27 million for the program annually for five years, Schwarz said. Meanwhile, the state has received $40.17 million in federal funds for marketing and advertising over two years and has retained the firm DDB, he said.
Under the federal mandate, people getting insurance through the exchange and who meet certain income thresholds can tap into an estimated $2.6 billion in federal tax credits and subsidies annually.
Tax credits will offset premium payments with subsidies covering out-of-pocket medical costs like co-payments, up to certain thresholds. The credits work on a sliding scale based on a percentage of income. For example, individuals with income up to 149 percent of the federal poverty level will pay no more than 4 percent of their income for premiums.

Chip's restaurant family is a Fairfield fundraising champion
Enter Chip's Family Restaurant on many Monday nights, and the restaurant will be full of diners, enjoying soup or burgers or any of the many varieties of Chip's pancakes. But when they pay the bill, all of the money will go to a local charity, and not to the restaurant's owners.
On designated nights, George Chatzopoulos and his sister Dina Chatzopoulos Bajko, donate 100 percent of the revenue they take in to various charities in their local communities. (Chip's restaurants are in Fairfield, Trumbull and Orange.) They don't take the cost of the food they prepare out of the proceeds, and they hold at least one fundraiser every month.
"For us it's an opportunity to give back to the community -- to give back to this country," said George Chatzopoulos, who emigrated here with his family from Greece in 1989. When the family arrived, they didn't have much, he explained. They are grateful for what the U. S. and their local communities have done for them, and they want to give back.
"We've been very fortunate," he said.
The brother and sister were honored recently on the floor of the state House of Representatives where they received an official state citation. "The Chatzopoulos make everyone in Fairfield feel like part of their family," state Rep Brenda Kupchick said when the award was made.
The Chatzopoulos family is partial to raising funds for schools and their athletic teams, as well as high school theater groups and other school activities. But they also help support the Fairfield Rotary Club, Operation Hope in Fairfield, the Fairfield firefighters and the Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital, among other charities. And at their three restaurants, they fundraise for different charities in each community.
"We like to do this with local charities," said Dina Chatzopoulos Bajko. "We want to make sure it goes to who they say it goes to."
On March, 24 the Fairfield restaurant raised money for McKinley Elementary School. The side of the restaurant used for fundraisers was packed by 6 p.m. that night and there was a line going out the door of McKinley families waiting for tables. The McKinley PTA has been raising funds at Chip's for several years, usually raising about $1,200 in one evening, according to Jill Kellerman, president of the McKinley School PTA. The money is used for the school's field trips, author visits, teacher's grants and cultural arts programs, she said.
"He donates 100 percent -- everything goes to us," the PTA president said.
The Chatzopoulos family's biggest annual fundraiser is on Thanksgiving morning when they serve a meal in all three of their restaurants for $12 per person. Last year they raised a total of $25,000 in all three diners. In Fairfield, 100 percent of the funds they raised that morning in Fairfield went to the Operation Hope agency to help support the homeless.
"Why do a fundraiser where at the end of the day, you get just $100? Why bother?" George said. "I want to make it happen."
His sister said that she and her brother were raised in a family that believes in giving to others, and to work as a team. Now, Dina's husband Adam helps run the three family restaurants, and to hold the frequent fundraisers they have become known for.
The Chatzopoulos family has been in the business since 2003 when they opened their first Chip's Family Restaurant in Orange. The Fairfield Chip's, 525 Tunxis Hill Cutoff, is the newest, opening in 2011. A fourth Chip's Family Restaurant will open this fall in Wethersfield.
In addition to opening new restaurants, Chip's is also offering new healthier selections on their menu, the brother and sister added. Their new menu will offer some items that are hormone, antibiotic and gluten free, in addition to their current fare, Dina said.
The Chatzopoulos siblings hope the new menu will keep their loyal customers coming for both the new and traditional items on the Chip's menu. But the real reason the restaurants -- and all their fundraisers -- are so successful is because of their customers and not because of them, or anything they do, George said.
"The reason is, we have such wonderful customers, they become part of our family," he said.
Chip's Family Restaurant in Fairfield is at 525 Tunxis Hill Cutoff. For information, call 203-332-3370 or visit www.chipsrestaurants.com

WASHINGTON When discussing his expectations for his team's preseason opener, which also represented his first game as a head coach in the NFL, Jay Gruden kept things simple.
He wanted to put his players in a position to compete. He wanted order on the sideline. And he wanted everyone to emerge from the game healthy.
Gruden got everything he wanted and then some as the Washington Redskins defeated the New England Patriots, 23-6, Thursday night at FedEx Field IN Landover, Maryland.
The starting offense demonstrated an ability to move the ball in the 10 snaps it played. The starting defense proved stingy and aggressive, holding the Patriots albeit sans star quarterback...

On March 24, 2009, I presented these comments at the 2009 AAG Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada as part of a panel discussion titled "Spatial Concepts and Curriculum for GIS and Design." I connected ideas from the Specialist Meeting on Spatial Concepts in GIS and Design to the GIS curriculum at Middlebury College.
I'm going to talk about teaching spatial concepts with GIS. So, I'm just focusing on one part of a larger curriculum. My main point is that design is a method for teaching spatial concepts with GIS. Under that, I'm going to make four general comments about:
- the use of applied problems rather than cookbooks
- the use of diagrams
- the distinction between solving versus setting problems
- some thoughts on domains and the choreography of spatial concepts
I take a general definition of design as synthesis, or the process of applying the available means towards desired ends. This view of design maps to a model of teaching spatial concepts where GIS is the means, spatial concepts are the ends, and an applied problem that students must solve independently is a synthesis, or the application of means to ends.
This is a model for teaching GIS that I inherited from Bob Churchill. (Middlebury is Vermont, so you should date the picture not by Bob's appearance but by the technology in the background). Bob began teaching GIS in the 1980s.
Here is an example of one of his labs. It's structured so that the ends (yellow line) are to introduce principles and concepts of map display and overlay analysis. The means (blue line) are GIS tools. And the synthesis (green box) is an applied problem that the students have to solve on their own. In this case, the problem involves situating a feature given a set of constraints.
With this approach, design is central to the teaching: students are given a real-world goal and the technical means and their task is to find a solution.
Following the December workshop in Santa Barbara, I introduced a new element to this basic teaching model. This semester, I have the students make conceptual diagrams to elucidate their problem solving.
I ask them to draw how they solved the problem, including mistakes (which Ben shows here with bubble diagrams) to help them visualize the process of problem solving.
I also ask them to develop a graphic manual of spatial operations. For each operation that they use, I ask them to:
- illustrate by hand a general example of the transformation
- verbally describe the objectives and constraints of the operation
I also ask the students to organize the operations according to common purposes or means. So they independently identify groups of operations, such as data management tasks versus focal operations, based on concepts that I introduce in lectures.
From my experience, the student's perspective of this teaching model differs from my own. While my goal is to teach general spatial concepts, their goal is simply to find The Answer or perhaps to gain The Job.
I think that these two distinct views mirror Donald Schoen's (1983) dichotomy of problem-solving versus problem-setting. Problem-solving is the instrumentalist view of design, where the problem takes the form: given a set of constraints and means, what is the best solution? In contrast, problem-setting involves framing the problem, or determining what ends should be achieved.
Now it could be that these two perspectives are chronological in a curriculum, where we begin by teaching the instrumentalist perspective and then transition towards problem solving at the level of undergraduate theses or graduate work.
But problem setting is also our dilemma in curriculum development. So I think that this model helps define our problem in two ways.
First, we can ask: what are the relevant domains for each component of the model?
The conceptual domain should include not just spatial concepts, but also temporal and logical concepts, including the distinction between positive and normative logics.
The thematic domain concerns what disciplines may contribute applied problems that involve concepts that can be solved with GIS and other spatial tools.
The technical domain concerns the role of different kinds of tools, including both digital and analog approaches (such as hand-drawn diagrams).
Secondly, we can ask: what are effective choreographies of this model over the course of a semester or quarter. This concerns how concepts should be sequenced.
For example, my first lab teaches the concepts of objects and fields by having students model flood zones by reclassifying a DEM. I think that these are more primitive concepts that form the basis of more complex problems. So I think how we choreograph or sequence the content should be based on the genealogy (or child-parent relations) of concepts.
Thank you.
Thanks to Ben Zorach, Russell Griggs, Yuki Yoshida, and Evan Mikkelson from Geography 320 Spring 2009 for sharing their diagrams and Bill Hegman from Department of Geography at Middlebury College.

text: Soul Food is closely related to the cuisine of the Southern United States. The term may have originated in the mid-1960s, when soul was a common word used to describe African-American culture (for example, soul music).They also comprise an important part of the cuisine of the American south, in general. Foods such as corn and cassava from the Americas, turnips from Morocco, and cabbage from Portugal would play an important part in the history of African-American cooking.

We do NOT refund on sale items but we can give you a store credit if you would like another item instead.
Although 90% of our items we stock , some of them are shipped directly from our suppliers, we will always keep a close eye on your order to keep everything nice and smooth with your items so if you have purcharsed several items, you might receive them in separated packages, sometimes we pre-order them for you and get them delivered to our premises and then ship everything together, you will be advised about this once you place your order.
At Pebbles Baby we highlight the importance of safety, so please read the following and we kindly ask you to adhere to the requirements.
All of our products should be used under adult supervision at all times.
If you are purchasing a wooden and silicone toy from us, always inspect them before each use, discard at first sign of damage or if the beads look worn and exchange after 6 months of use. If damaged, the beads can become loose and cause suffocation.
Our products are design so they do not collect mould and bacteria.
To clean your wooden and silicone toys simply use warm water and wipe down with a damp cloth and air dry.
If you are purchasing our playgyms and their toys, it is important to know that these playgyms are design so your baby can lay under, and the toys are there so they can be reached and looked at, we do not recommend them to be used as teethers, if they are already able to sit up, we recommend to remove them.
Discard if you see the frame has become weak.
When putting the gym together some of them will feel hard to insert the pole into the holes, the idea is that they are not too loose so they do not fall apart easily.
If you are purchasing a soft toy/crochet toy, always inspect for loose parts or clothing (if any) that your baby can put in their mouth, and take away from them once they fall asleep, specially if they are able to roll over. NEVER leave them unattended while playing with them.
If you are purchasing our wall decals, please bare in mind they are designed for decoration only and are not a toy! Please keep them out of reach of children. Your decals should never be placed within a child's reach or near where they sleep to avoid a possible choking hazard.
If you are purchasing our canopies, please make sure your kids are always under supervision where the canopies are hung, we do not recommend to hung them over cots, or in children's rooms under the age of 3 unless they will be there under complete supervision.
Please make sure you hung the canopies from a beam if you are hanging them from the ceiling, you can purchase a beam finder for this.
Also, if you are not going to be supervising while your kids are near the canopy, we recommend to roll them up to avoid them being pulled down and or cause injuries.
If you are buying our house bed frames, it is recommended that this bed be used for its sole purpose of sleeping in. It is not designed to withstand activities that may put extra weight on the frame such us swinging, climbing, hanging etc. Pebbles Baby accept no responsibility from injury that may occur from such activities.
– As the item is handcrafted, slight imperfections in the product may be present due to the nature of working with a natural material; we do not consider these faults.
– Our frames are individually crafted. They are not mass produced in a factory therefore the dimensions can sometimes vary a few millimetres.
– Sustainably sourced New Zealand premium pine and stainless steel fittings are used in the making of this product.
Our products are all carefully selected and safe while using in a proper way, we inspect them carefully before we put them on sale and before sending them to you so we know they were safe to use.
When it is about your baby/child, it is the parents responsibility to watch them at all times, we do not take any responsibility for accidents or injuries if the products are used in a way other than for its intended purpose or if the child was left unattended.
- Do you stock all your items?
We stock 90% of our items, as much as we would love to stock them all, due to space we can't, items from Nofred brand or Rocking Baby for example, are shipped from the Melbourne warehouse straight to you, and because of that, there might be times where we cannot keep up with inventory and unfortunately sometimes you might place an order and they are out of stock, we do check often with them in regards to stock but please bear this in mind. Other items that are made to order will take few days until they are ready to be shipped to you, so those are not 'in stock' items, this would apply for our wall decals and wallpapers. Please read their description for more information.
- What company do you use for delivery?
We mainly use Australia Post for our deliveries, but for bulky items like wallpapers, furniture and prams, we may use a courier to deliver them to you. Reason being is that couriers are much cheaper for us to send and we do not want to increase our prices to cover part of the cost or start charging for shipping. Unfortunately though, most of them do not offer express shipping yet, so if you are wanting any of these products for a special day, we recommend you order with few days in advance to avoid any dissapointment.
- What is the best time to contact you?
We are purely family operated and it is mainly one person, me, taking care of everything, as much as we would love to be 24/7 available for your enquiries, we do ask you to expect a response from us within business hours (9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, Melbourne time), we will try and respond to you even after those hours since we love you so much! but there might be times we won't be able to. Best way of contacting us is via e-mail to email@example.com
- How long does my order take to be delivered?
We offer free standard shipping Australia wide via Australia post (or a courier if the item is bulky, please refer to above answer) please allow us at least 1-3 business day (not including weekends or public holidays) to get your items ready and then we will ship them to you (unless stated differently) they generally take between 5-7 business days to be delivered unless you live in a remote area, in that case delivery might take a bit longer or if there is any environmental challenge like flooding, fires, etc...IF you chose to have them expressed shipped they might take around 1-3 business days to arrive depending on where you live, still allow us that 1-3 business day to process your items. Please if you have any questions about your order you can always contact us.
- I paid express shipping last night/today why hasn't my order being dispatched yet?
Paying for express shipping is actually the delivery service and not the handling time process, we still require our handling times to get the items ready for you which is at least 1-3 business day unless stated differently or if they are made to order. As soon as your items are sent, you will receive a tracking number ( a kindly reminder that express shipping does not apply for bulky items ).
-Can I purchase an item but send it as a present?
You can definitely purchase an item from us and we will happily send it to the designated person, at checkout just type in their details, full name and address, for the shipping details and for billing details you can place your information. You may leave a little note to us that is it an actual present so we are aware of it.
-I put down the wrong address at checkout, can I fix it?
For sure! just contact us as soon as you realize you made the mistake and we can fix it and send it to the right address, no stress. Please note, we do NOT check addresses one by one, we write them just as they were provided by you, so we do not take any responsability for lost or delayed orders if you have given us the wrong address. You need to check before submitting, and if there is any mistake, you need to contact us immediately please. Note that there are times when we have recieved orders while packing, therefore we sometimes pack them straight away and send them together with the rest, if you sent us the wrong address and you didn't tell us straight away, we unfortunately do not take any responsibility for any delayed or missplaced order.
-I received my items and they are broken.
We will always try and send fragile products as protected as possible, but sometimes we do know that strange events can occur while the package is on your way but don't worry we are here to help, if you have received a broken item, please take a picture and send it to us as soon as you realize about the issue. We will look at the picture and then give you instructions. We need you to send the items back for inspection as well before we agree on anything. But we want you to be happy and we can happily replace it as long as we have them in stock, otherwise we can give you a store credit for you to choose another item.
-How do I know if a product is safe for my baby/kid?
We are all for safety when it comes to little humans, so please read carefully our notes (if the product requires one) before purchasing or read the notes that we send you together with the product and do not throw it away (the note) so you can refer to it whenever you need it. We strongly recommend to never leave your baby/kid unattended, whatever they are doing, they do not know right from wrong even if you think they are old enough to understand, it is best to not take that risk.
-I like the colour of the product shown in the pictures but are they the real colours?
Colours in pictures may vary from what they look in person, and from screen to screen, so please have this in mind before purchasing.
-I ordered a handmade product, what do I need to expect from it?
Our handmade items have been carefully chosen, yet the nature of handmade products is all about being natural and sometimes they are not perfect nor two same product will look exactly the same, but that would be the beautiful part of choosing a handmade item, you know it has been made with love for you or your little ones, they might have a slight imperfection but they will work just as fine!
