The 2011 Cougars are not even close to being the best squad the school has had.
Not. Even. Close.
Nice story here by my man Sam 'Chaka' Khan though.
These kids today always think what they do is better than what's been done before them.
OK, they got us by a country mile with these handheld computer phones versus those 15-pound rotary dial contraptions we used to use, but when it comes to sports there is legitimate debate over whether today's game is better than yesterday's.
I had a fun discussion on the radio the other day with A.J. Hoffman of ESPN 97.5. While the general point he made is accurate – athletes today are bigger, stronger and faster than those of yesteryear – he could not be more off base with the conclusion that great athletes from the past could not compete with the top athletes of today.
It isn't as simple as bigger, stronger, faster wins. And when it comes to special athletes, many from even 50 years ago would be special even today.
Methinks I floored him with this argument, though he won't admit it.
Take the NBA. Any doubt that Hakeem Olajuwon would be the best center in the league today? (If you want to argue that point, please step away from the computer, dial 9-1-1 and tell them that a crazy person has invaded your body and needs to be put away.)
Olajuwon entered the NBA 27 years ago. And when Olajuwon entered the league, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 37 years old. And as much as I love Dream, he didn't just steamroll Abdul-Jabbar in the final five years of Abdul-Jabbar's career.
In head-to-head games, Abdul-Jabbar's Lakers went 18-5 against Olajuwon's Rockets. Kareem averaged 22.5 points (on nearly 60-percent shooting) and 6.7 rebounds to Olajuwon's 22.3 points (on just under 50-percent shooting) and 11.3 boards. Olajuwon played about seven more minutes a game and had more assists, steals and blocks.
The first time the two matched up (Dec. 19, 1984), Kareem scored 32 points to Olajuwon's 18, schooling the youngster and his partner Ralph Sampson in a Lakers' win at the Summit.
"You can't stop him," Olajuwon said that night. "You know what he's going to do but you can't stop him. He's stronger than I thought but he's as quick as I thought."
Obviously, at that time the old Abdul-Jabbar was in the young Olajuwon's league as a player. (Let's not get sidetracked over which was better at their peak.) So, it stands to reason that a young Abdul-Jabbar, who averaged nearly 29 points and 15 rebounds a game as a rookie, was in Olajuwon's league. Kareem came into the league more than 40 years ago.
Do you have any doubt that Abdul-Jabbar would be the best big man in the NBA today? (Again, if you want to argue that point, please make the aforementioned call.)
Wilt Chamberlain entered the league 10 years before Abdul-Jabbar. He was 33 and played only four seasons against Kareem. (More correctly, he played just three seasons, as he blew out his knee after only 12 games of Abdul-Jabbar's rookie season.)
Chamberlain's and Abdul-Jabbar's teams were 14-14 against each other. In their first matchup, Wilt scored 25 points (9-of-14 shooting) with 25 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in a win, while Abdul-Jabbar had 23 points (9-of-21 shooting) with 20 rebounds, two assists and two blocks. No doubt that Wilt could play with Kareem.
Now these things aren't necessarily linear, but you can't tell me — as Hoffman and so many other youngsters have tried to tell me — that Wilt Chamberlain wouldn't be a superstar in today's NBA.
Great players are great players. Yes, today's athletes are bigger, stronger and faster, but they aren't necessarily better.
So back to where I started. The 2011 Cougars are having a special year. But the best team UH has ever had?
Uh uh.
(And don't get me started on Hoffman and @sportsmediaLM on Twitter claiming that Jim Brown, who was 6-2, about 230 pounds, would be an average running back in today's NFL.)

Bulldogs Honor 5 Seniors during Senior Day Celebration on Saturday
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The 2012 season will come to a close this weekend with a four-game series against Brown, but before the final doubleheader is played on Saturday, the Bulldogs will honor their five seniors during Senior Day festivities on Saturday.
Yale will visit Brown on Friday for a doubleheader in Providence that begins at 1 p.m. The two teams will meet again for a second doubleheader on Saturday at historic Yale Field, which will close the books on the 85th season in its history.
Saturday will be the final time that the five seniors on the roster will put on a Yale uniform. The Bulldogs will honor their captain and four-year catcher, Ryan Brenner, along with outfielder and four-year starter Charlie Neil and pitchers Pat Ludwig, Greg Lyons and Eric Shultz.
Heading into the weekend, Brenner has appeared in 141 games in his Yale career with 135 starts. He holds a .238 career average, with his highest average coming during his junior season in which he hit .313. He has compiled a total of 125 hits, 32 doubles, one triple, seven home runs, 64 RBIs and 84 runs scored. He hit a career-best five home runs as a sophomore, including three in one game. This spring, he is second on the team in hitting (.283) and on-base percentage (.370) and is third in slugging (.331). He leads the team in runs scored with 22. He is among the top five players on the team in 14 different categories.
Neil, a four-year starter and letter winner in both baseball and soccer, heads into the weekend having appeared in 151 games with 140 starts in the Yale outfield. He holds a .256 career batting average. An All-Ivy League Second Team selection as a sophomore, Neil produced his best season that year, compiling career-high numbers in batting average (.343), hits (36), doubles (11), home runs (4), RBIs (20) and runs scored (30). He has compiled a total of 125 hits, 25 doubles, five triples, six home runs, 66 RBIs and 76 runs scored.
Ludwig will make his final appearance this weekend, which will be the 39th appearance and 28th start of his Yale career. Ludwig has lowered his earned run average in each of his four seasons, saving his best season for his last at Yale. Despite is 0-5 record, Ludwig is one of the best pitchers in the Ivy League this season, leading the league in strikeouts (56) and strikeouts looking (22). He is also second in opposing batting average (.237) and innings pitched (56.1), third in ERA (2.56) and fourth in earned runs allowed (16). Ludwig currently holds an 8-15 overall career record with six complete games, 179.2 innings pitched, and an overall ERA of 4.66. He has posted career-lows this season in ERA, opposing batting average, runs (25) and earned runs allowed, doubles (7) and home runs (2) allowed and a career-high mark in strikeouts.
In his four seasons at Yale, Shultz has been the ironman out of the bullpen, appearing in at least 19 games in three of his four seasons, including a career-high 21 games this season. He is Yale's leader in wins this season, holding a 4-2 record with one save and a 3.06 ERA. This spring, he has posted career-best marks in wins, strikeouts (26), and innings pitched (35.1). He holds a career record of 8-7 with eight saves, an ERA of 4.29 in 100.2 innings pitched, and 71 strikeouts.
Lyons, a right-handed specialist out of the bullpen, has made 43 appearances with two starts in his four seasons at Yale. He holds a 1-4 record overall with three saves and a career ERA of 6.87. In five appearances this season, he has held opposing batters to a .208 average. His best season overall came as a sophomore when he posted career-high marks in innings pitched (29.1), strikeouts (24) and batters faces (138).
The five senior Bulldogs will get one last chance to shine against a Brown team that is one of the better hitting teams in the Ivy League, but the Bears also carry the highest ERA (8.40) of any team in the Ivy League into the weekend series with the Bulldogs.
Brown has five players hitting better than .300 and nine players hitting .280 or higher. The Bears' leading hitter is Nate Kukowski, who is hitting .357 in just eight games this season. Their leading regulars are John Sheridan, who is hitting .340 in 24 starts, and Cody Slaughter, who is hitting .333 and is leading the team in home runs (5), RBIs (30) and slugging percentage (.535). However, their leading pitcher is Taylor Wright, who has a team-best ERA of 4.54 in 16 appearances. The leading starter is Heath Mayo, who is 2-2 with an ERA of 4.84 in eight starts.

Ideal for makers and tinkerers who often need a light source as close to what they're working on as possible, this beautiful LED desklamp was designed by Alberto Fraser with an incredibly flexible transparent PVC neck making it almost infinitely adjustable.
The touch sensitive base also lets you turn the lamp on or off with just a tap, and adjust its brightness with a swipe of your finger. Which is certainly slick and convenient, but a far cry from justifying its ridiculous $500+ price tag. Particularly when you can only get it in black or white. You offer this thing in a hot rod red option, and maybe we'll talk.

Heat shoot for 3-1 lead against Chicago
The Miami Heat fought back, won Game 3 and can take a stranglehold on the series with a victory Monday night in Game 4 against the Chicago Bulls.
After Game 2 in Miami netted nine technical fouls and two Chicago ejections, Game 3 on Friday was tamer, but not without incident.
Nazr Mohammed of Chicago ran down LeBron James on a fast-break and wrapped him up to stop a breakaway layup. James swatted him away and was whistled for a technical foul, but then Mohammed got up and shoved James to the floor.
Mohammed received a technical and an ejection.
"From my angle, I just saw a guy basically flop," said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, referring to the league's MVP. "I'm going to leave it at that. I don't think it warranted an ejection. I understand flagrant foul. Understand that. Ejection no."
There was an incident involving Chris Andersen and Nate Robinson, but it was Bulls center Joakim Noah who earned the "T." He came in and gave a two-handed push to Andersen, who appeared to retaliate. However, it was Noah who received the only technical foul.
"It's an emotional game," said Noah. "Just lost the battle; we did not lose the war. A lot of basketball left."
Noah's words are true, but Friday's game was there for the Bulls to take and take a 2-1 series lead. The game was tied 70-70 after three quarters, but Miami outscored Chicago, 34-24, in the final frame.
What made the game even more ripe for the taking was the somewhat subpar performance from James. Yes, he finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, but he only shot 6-for-17 from the field.
"I didn't shoot the ball like I've been shooting all year," James said. "My teammates look for me to make plays no matter if I'm shooting the ball well or not. There were a couple of times in the fourth quarter I settled for a couple of jumpers late in the clock."
James still finished with 12 of his 25 in the fourth quarter.
The real heroes for the Heat were Chris Bosh and Norris Cole. Bosh had 20 points and 19 rebounds and Cole came off the bench for 18 points in just over 24 minutes of action.
"If CB (Bosh) rebounds like that, we're a dangerous team," said James. "For him to have 19 rebounds and for Norris to come off the bench and defend like he did and contribute offensively with a big time drive in the fourth and a big time three as well, those two guys are the reason we won the game."
The Bulls once again went to battle without Derrick Rose, despite some unfounded Internet chatter that he would finally make his season debut in Game 3. Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich both sat as well. Their availability for Monday's contest is unknown, although expectations are that both will still be shelved.
Carlos Boozer led Chicago in scoring on Friday with 21 points. Robinson and Jimmy Butler, who once again played all 48 minutes, had 17 apiece, followed by 16 from Marco Belinelli. Noah fouled out, but registered a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards.
With all of these injuries and heavy minutes, perhaps the Bulls are getting tired.
"I don't think fatigue is a factor," Boozer said.
The onus is now on Chicago to adjust and try to knot this series.
"When you play this team you have to have a lot of mental, physical, and emotional toughness," Thibodeau said of the defending champions. "Things are not going to go your way. We're not going to get calls. That's the reality. We've still got to find a way to get it done. And we will."
Game 5 is back in Miami on Wednesday night.(Sports Network) - The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are knotted at 1-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series, which shifts to Indianapolis Saturday night for Game 3.
The Pacers embarrassed the Knicks in Madison Square Garden in Game 1, but the home team prevailed in Game 2, thanks to a huge fourth-quarter effort. The Knicks outscored Indiana, 33-13, in the final frame on Tuesday to win, 105-79.
"The big key in the game was our play on the defensive end, stopping them and getting out in transition," said Carmelo Anthony. "We got some easy baskets, and just being patient out there were the most important things."
Anthony, who is battling a shoulder issue, led all scorers way back on Tuesday. He had 32 points on 13-for-26 shooting from the floor.
Iman Shumpert netted 15, followed by 14 from Raymond Felton and 10 apiece from Pablo Prigioni and Kenyon Martin.
Absent from that list was J.R. Smith, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year in the NBA. He struggled once again with only eight points thanks to an ice-cold 3-for-15 night from the floor.
Smith has struggled through the last four or five games. His head coach is close to reaching a boiling point with his bench star.
"I'll gauge J.R. as we go along and if I feel he's not giving me anything, I could always turn to other guys on that bench," Woodson told ESPN Radio. "I feel good about the guys who come in off the bench, just like I feel good about J.R. But if he's struggling and I feel the need that I got to pull him, I will do that as the head coach."
Woodson will get another weapon as the series moves to Indianapolis.
Amare Stoudemire, who has been sidelined since March with a knee injury, will return to the lineup. Woodson indicated Stoudemire won't see heavy minutes, but his presence will be felt.
"If I didn't think Amare was important to our team, then I wouldn't even consider that," Woodson said Friday. "But Amare can still play, and I think he proved that in the short time he was back this last time."
Stoudemire also missed the first 30 games this season with injuries to both knees.
The Pacers don't really care who comes back for the Knicks. They stole home- court advantage with a Game 1 victory and now get back to their building to try and advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
"I'm sure this team is going to be amped to play on Saturday," said Pacers guard George Hill. "I'm sure our building is going to be live and we just have to take it one game at a time."
After a balanced attack in Game 1, the Pacers got very little going offensively in Game 2. On Tuesday, only three Indiana players -- Paul George, David West and Hill -- scored in double figures.
The Pacers shot 45.5 percent from the field on Tuesday, but the Knicks shot close to 50 percent. Indiana was near the top of the league in opponents' scoring and opponents' field-goal percentage during the regular season.
All that considered, Indiana's biggest problem in Game 2 was turnovers. The Pacers coughed it up 21 times, which led to 32 Knicks points, compared to only seven turnovers for New York.
"We had some real good practices. Our focal points were taking care of the ball, especially when they're tracking," said Paul George, the NBA's Most Improved Player this season, who had seven turnovers himself in Game 2. "That's going to be a big key and I think everything else will take care of itself."
The Pacers won both of this season's matchups in Indianapolis and have taken five of the last seven at home.
Game 4 is slated for Tuesday.

The intermediate filament is one of the three major types of filaments that comprise the cytoskeleton. Not all cells require the presence of the filaments, however, and they are notably absent from certain cell types, such as the oligodendrocytes present in the central nervous system of vertebrates. Intermediate filaments are most common and numerous in the cytoplasmic regions of cells that are frequently exposed to mechanical stress. Indeed, the primary role of the filaments appears to be to enhance cellular strength and durability, essentially maintaining the integrity of the cell. Several different types of intermediate filaments have been identified, all of which characteristically range in diameter from 8 to 10 nanometers. When the filaments occur in cells of mesenchymal origin, they are often composed of the polypeptide vimentin.
The NBL-6 dermal fibroblast cells illustrated in the digital image above were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized, and treated with a mixture of rabbit (anti-giantin) and mouse (anti-vimentin; pan) primary antibodies, followed by secondary antibodies conjugated to Oregon Green 488 and Texas Red, respectively. Cell nuclei were counterstained with the DNA-selective bisbenzimide dye, Hoechst 33342. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Conservatives Still Trying To Dispute Global Temperature Trend
Research ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Conservative media are attempting to use a new paper by climate contrarian Anthony Watts to question the reliability of global temperature records. But the paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, only addresses surface temperature records in the continental U.S., which have been confirmed by satellite data.
Conservative Media Falsely Claim Study Undermines Global Temperature Record
Fox: Watts' Results "Show The Planet Warming" At About Half The Rate "Cited By The Government." In a press release posted on his blog, former television meteorologist Anthony Watts claims that his analysis shows that "reported 1979-2008 U.S. temperature trends are spuriously doubled" as a result of poor site selection for temperature stations and adjustments made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to correct for errors in the temperature data. FoxNews.com claimed that the paper raises questions about global temperature records:
Watts cherry-picked the well-sited stations and reanalyzed their data; his results show the planet warming at just 0.155 degrees Celsius per decade, rather than the 0.309 C per decade cited by the government.
The article has been significantly revised from an earlier version that claimed the study "calls into question just how hot our planet is getting," without noting the correction. FoxNews.com promoted the article on its front page with the following headline:
[FoxNews.com, 7/30/12] [FoxNews.com, 7/31/12] [Watts Up With That?, 7/29/12]
Other Media Outlets Suggested That Watts' Paper Casts Doubt On Global Temperature Data.
- Politico: Watts' Paper Concluded "Researchers Have Nearly Doubled The Actual Effects Of Global Warming." [Politico's Morning Energy email, 7/30/12]
- Human Events Suggests Study "Debunk[s]" Global Warming. [Human Events, 7/30/12]
- Breitbart: Watts' Paper "Crushes Global Warming Data Claims." [Breitbart.com, 7/30/12]
Scientist: Watts' Data Only Concerns The Continental U.S. "Which Is Approximately 2% Of Global Surface Area." Scott Mandia, Professor of Earth and Space Sciences at Suffolk Community College and co-founder of the Climate Science Rapid Response Team, stated: "Fox News is incorrect. Watts' data is for the 48 continental US states which is approximately 2% of global surface area. His analysis cannot be used to speak to global climate change." [Email to Media Matters, 7/31/12]
Satellite Data Confirm Warming Trend Globally And In The U.S. Professor Mandia further noted that "The rate of warming measured in the US is in line with satellite inferred trends and satellites do not have thermometers nor are they 'poorly sited.'" The following graph created with 2010 data provided by NOAA shows that surface temperatures for the continental U.S. (red and blue bars) closely track two methods of analyzing satellite temperatures (yellow and teal lines):
Dr. Carl Mears, senior scientist at Remote Sensing Systems, said last year that globally "both the overall amount of warming and the spatial patterns of warming in the surface datasets are in general agreement with satellite measurements of atmospheric temperature." The following graph shows that global temperatures measured by satellite data also closely tracks surface temperatures:
[Email to Media Matters, 7/21/11] [Email to Media Matters, 7/31/12] [Environmental Protection Agency, accessed 7/31/12]
Fox Claims Peer-Reviewed Corrections Are "Hidden" "Data Manipulation"
FoxNews.com: "Many Skeptics Take Issue With What They Call Systematic Data Manipulation Hidden From Their View." FoxNews.com claimed that the peer-reviewed adjustments that NOAA applies to correct for known problems in the data, such as the urban heat island effect, is "hidden from" skeptics:
Many skeptics take issue with what they call systemic data manipulation hidden from their view. For example, climate blogger Steve Goddard told FoxNews.com that "adjustments" made in the past to climate data have merely conflated the problem Watts uncovered. [FoxNews.com, 7/30/12]
NOAA Uses Openly Peer-Reviewed Methods To Correct Data. NOAA explained the peer-reviewed science behind their data adjustments:
The observations come from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN), a network of 1221 climate observing stations in the continental United States. These data are extensively quality controlled for errors and for small biases that may have occurred through time due to artificial changes at each observing station. These artificial changes include station relocations, different instrumentation, and changes in the landscape surrounding the station (e.g. urbanization, removal or planting of vegetation, etc.).
Methods that have been used to correct temperature data are described in more than a dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). A series of data corrections was developed to specifically address potential problems in trend estimation of the rates of warming or cooling in the USHCN. They include:
1. Station moves and instrumentation changes (Karl and Williams 1987, Quayle et al. 1991),
2. changes in observing practices, such as observing time changes (Karl et al. 1986), and
3. urbanization (Karl et al. 1988). [NOAA, 10/20/09]
WaPo: "Watts' Failure To Make Certain Adjustments To The Raw Data ... Is A Serious Flaw." The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang noted that Watts failed to apply needed adjustments to the data:
Watts' failure to make certain adjustments to the raw data, as NOAA has done, is a serious flaw knowledgeable bloggers say. Specifically, Watts did not apply a time of observation bias correction according to Howard University chemistry professor Josh Halpern, who blogs under the pseudonym Eli Rabett. McIntyre also pointed out this problem: "There is a confounding interaction with TOBS [time of observation] that needs to be allowed for, as has been quickly and correctly pointed out." [Washington Post, 7/31/12]
When Subjected To Peer-Review, Previous Station Siting Concerns Have Proven Unfounded
Lack Of Peer-Review Casts Doubt On Credibility Of Watts' Paper. The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang noted that Watts' paper has not yet been peer-reviewed by scientists and explained why that casts doubt on the credibility of the paper:
Science blogger David Appell had it exactly right when he said the Watts paper is "exactly the kind of paper that most needs peer review: based on a lot of judgements and classifications and nitty gritty details...."
Furthermore, given the serious accusations Watts et al. make about the integrity of NOAA's temperature analysis, it's critical NOAA be given the opportunity to respond just as they did the last time Watts issued such a challenge in 2009. NOAA's U.S. temperature record has been painstakingly constructed by many scientists over many years and many peer-reviewed publications support its methodologies. [Washington Post, 7/30/12]
A Peer-Reviewed Study Found "No Evidence" That Temperature Trends Are "Inflated Due To Poor Station Siting." A 2010 peer-reviewed study by NOAA scientists and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research addressed photographs promoted by Watts of temperature stations sited near heat sources and found "no evidence" that the temperature trends "are inflated due to poor station siting." Peter Thorne of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center referenced the study, and told the New York Times' Andrew Revkin that "if anything, we are under-estimating the real world warming trends for the contiguous United States." [Journal of Geophysical Research, 6/8/10] [New York Times, 7/30/12]
Watts' Previous Study Found That Station Siting Isn't Exaggerating The Warming Trend. In a May 2011 analysis published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Watts and his co-authors stated that the overall temperature trends from properly placed stations are "nearly identical" to those from poorly placed stations. Watts now claims that the site rating method used in the paper was "incomplete." From the 2011 study co-authored by Watts:
Temperature trend estimates vary according to site classification, with poor siting leading to an overestimate of minimum temperature trends and an underestimate of maximum temperature trends, resulting in particular in a substantial difference in estimates of the diurnal temperature range trends. The opposite-signed differences of maximum and minimum temperature trends are similar in magnitude, so that the overall mean temperature trends are nearly identical across site classifications.

Strawberries are considered sweet, sour, cool, and moist. Therapeutic properties include blood purifying, astringent, diuretic, liver tonic and healing to wounds. Strawberry is used as a medicinal food to improve anemia, constipation, fevers, hangover, high blood pressure, and jaundice. Because strawberry helps the body eliminate uric acid, it is used for gout, arthritis and rheumatism. As strawberry moistens the lungs, it has been helpful for dry cough, sore throat and tuberculosis. In European folklore, eating strawberries is said to improve memory. Strawberries contain ellagic acid, which is a potent anti-cancer compound. Cut strawberries rubbed over the teeth, whiten them and remove plaque, without damaging enamel.
Strawberries are rich in flavonoids, vitamins B, C, E, and iron.
Everyone knows to enjoy the ripe berries plain, in jams, pies, tarts, on shortcake, yogurt or with cream to name but a few possibilities. Enjoy strawberries for breakfast or dessert. Use them in smoothies and of course to decorate. Dip them in melted chocolate or carob.
Strawberries are one of the most hybridized and highest contaminated produce items, treated with herbicides and pesticides. It is very worthy to buy organic. Berries that are overly large often lack flavor and those with whitish tips are often collected too long before properly ripening. Store them in an open container, removing any spieled berries first. Leave the green caps on while rinsing, to prevent water from entering the berry and diluting the flavor.
Strawberries can be allergenic for some people, especially when they are not vine ripened, causing skin eruptions or indigestion. Eating the fruits may turn one's urine pink temporarily, but is no cause for alarm.

Flying over Lake Taupo
Air-adventures over beautiful Lake Taupo
Autumn is here and where has the time gone?
Autumn is a beautiful time in Taupo. I was pondering my next adventure, in which I wanted to really take advantage of this epic weather we've been having; a last, sunny, make-the-most-of-the-clear-skies adventure when I thought, why not go for a flight?
There is a reason birds are so smug (c'mon- they are!!) as I discovered when I started skydiving. The have the best view of EVERYTHING. There is nothing you can't see from up there in the big blue ether and what better way to take in all our sights at once- the lake, the mountains, the crisp countryside, the pretty township, the mighty Waikato, our towering Mt Tauhara…. Need I go on?!
Well I will…. There are even choices, within choices, in this great Tauponian land of the free. You'll need to pick your air-vehicle of choice: Floatplane? Airplane? Helicopter?
Floatplane. An airplane with water feet might not float your boat but it should. Get out of the ordinary with a rare but action packed adventure. Float planes are unique aircraft that float on water, allowing you to take off and land on lakes/ rivers. They are ideal for the more adventourous out there who are old-hat at airplanes and choppers. These grunty, powerful beasts let you take flight from the very waters of Lake Taupo, allowing you a beautiful view of the waters and the mountain and you get to frighten a few ducks along the way.
Airplane. If you prefer your wings to be solid and standardized then airplane adventures are for you. Great if there is a group on tour too, as you can generally fit more people in an aircraft (dependant upon what type you have of course). Steady, dependable and a lot more exciting than your commercial variety, airplane flights are a popular choice for bird-like adventurers who like a bit of bump and shake. Tthere are plenty of scenic flights to be enjoyed over Taupo.
Helicopter. My personal favourite, I always feel like a secret agent or royalty in a chopper (but that's just me…), they have a beautifully smooth way of hovering just about anywhere and provide that little bit more excitement for an adventurous wanna-bird. So many dials and buttons...so little time.... it's a real thrill when the prop starts up and whirrs you away over paradise.
So, to truly appreciate Taupo when there's snow glistening on the mountain peaks, see it like the birds do and take an air adventure. It's hard to comprehend a lake the size of Taupo unless you see it from the air and hands up who wants to avoid the crowds? Don't wander like a land lubber- soar like a bird!
Scenic flights are available year round and are particuarly spectacular in autumn and winter when the volcanoes of Tongariro National Park are blanketed in snow.

Scientists Seek Other Scientists for Cosmology Problem
Now for the third time, an innovative competition has begun again with the goal of finding better tools for probing dark matter and dark energy. Called GREAT3, which stands for GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 3, the event is sponsored by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and a European Union Network of Excellence called Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modeling and Computation Learning 2 (PASCAL2).
The idea behind the challenge is to spur scientists, including those from fields outside astronomy, to come up with new insight into the problems of measuring dark matter and dark energy. Contestants are asked to solve galaxy puzzles involving millions of images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. A better understanding of the "dark side of the cosmos" may reveal new information about the very fabric and fate of our universe.
The first two challenges were a big success, attracting new brainpower to the field, including scientists from machine learning and particle physics. Machine learning involves programming computers to learn on their own using actual data from the real world. It has several applications, such as facial-recognition software, medical diagnostics and spam filtering, to name a few.
"Other data scientists have been thinking about the same type of algorithms we need for our cosmology tools for a long time," said Jason Rhodes of JPL. "We want to acquire that knowledge and see this field grow."
One of the most powerful tools for studying dark matter and dark energy is gravitational lensing. When dark matter lies between us and a distant galaxy, the light of the galaxy can be warped by the gravity from the dark matter. By measuring this warping, scientists can map dark matter, despite it being invisible. What's more, by looking at the distribution of dark and normal matter in our universe, scientists can get a better handle on dark energy and how it battles gravity to slow the growth of galactic structures.
In some cases of gravitational lensing, galaxies look wacky, as if seen in a funhouse mirror, or they appear multiple times. This is referred to as strong lensing. But in most cases, called weak lensing, the warping effects are tiny and impossible to see by eye.
The GREAT3 challenge is designed to improve methods for measuring weak lensing in preparation for future dark matter/dark energy missions, such as the European Space Agency's Euclid, in which NASA plays an important role, and the National Academy of Science's highest priority for NASA, WFIRST -- also known as the WFIRST-AFTA mission, which stands for Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets.
The millions of images given to GREAT3 contestants show galaxies that have been artificially warped via weak lensing. The puzzle is to figure out precisely how the galaxy images were warped, a complex task that involves looking for patterns and sifting out artificial warping effects caused by telescope optics and the atmosphere.
The winner will be announced in May 2014 and will receive $3,000 worth of computing equipment, the perfect gift for programmers hoping to crack more cosmic codes.
"With these contests, we have seen new ideas seeping into our field," said Rachel Mandelbaum of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, who is working with Rhodes and Barnaby Rowe of UCL (University College London), England, to organize the challenge, along with a special committee. "It's a fun problem to work on and it's a problem that needs to be solved."

And now for the latest in the high-stakes staring contest between the Falcons and the city of Atlanta over a new stadium, courtesy of team owner Arthur Blank:
"We have a very good partnership with the Georgia World Congress Center, and we want that to continue into the future," Blank said in a statement released by the team Saturday. "As a business, it is our responsibility to consider all of our options, but in this case, we are not making any alternate plans at this time.
"We are focusing all of our time and resources on finalizing an agreement for the new stadium in downtown Atlanta. We appreciate Mayor (Kasim) Reed's strong support in helping us stay downtown, which is the right place for us to be."
Blank's statement comes after Falcons president and CEO Rich McKay told city council members on Wednesday that the Falcons could be forced to look in the greater Atlanta area if they cannot come to an agreement with the city. Blank has been open in his wish to remain in Atlanta, but the Falcons will be done playing in the Georgia Dome when their lease expires in 2017.
The Falcons negotiated a deal for a $948 million stadium with a retractable roof that must be approved by the city, according to FoxSportsSouth.com. Various reports put the city's contribution between $200 million to $300 million.
Earlier this month, Blank laughed off a report that the Falcons could be a candidate to move to Los Angeles when their lease expires.

MUNCIE, Indiana (AP) Bryn Forbes scored 18 points and Cleveland State beat Ball State 69-63 on Wednesday night.
Forbes was 4 of 8 from 3-point range.
Charlie Lee had 16 points and six assists. Devon Long added 10 points. Tim Kamczyc and Mason Marlin had eight rebounds and seven points apiece.
Ball State shot 40 percent from the field for the game and led 34-30 at halftime. The Vikings (5-2) shot just 37.9 percent in each half. But they made 17 points off turnovers and had 19 second-chance points, as compared to 11 and six for Ball State.
Jesse Berry scored 28 points for Ball State. Chris Bond added 12. Majok Majok had eight rebounds.
The loss gives the Cardinals (2-3) a three-game losing streak.

Thrillers and Suspense
February 2017
"Technically, Orphans did not exist. They were expendable weapons."
~ from Gregg Hurwitz's
The Nowhere Man
Recent Releases
Little Deaths: A Novel
Emma Flint
Suspense Fiction. The morning after a long shift as a cocktail waitress, Ruth Malone wakes to find her children missing. Later that day, her daughter's body is found; ten days later, her son's. Immediately, the public -- and the police -- assume the single mother (a suspicious thing in 1965 Queens, New York) is guilty of the brutal murders: she doesn't grieve properly, she wears provocative clothing, she's too free with her affections, she drinks too much. But is she really guilty? A rookie reporter is determined to find out, turning up police misconduct in his hunt for the truth. Multi-layered and thought-provoking, this literary, character-oriented novel is based on real events.
The Nowhere Man
Gregg Hurwitz
Thriller. In this sequel to
Orphan X
, former assassin Evan Smoak (now a freelance vigilante delivering justice) is being pursued by his ex-colleagues from the Orphan Program. They taught him everything he knows about killing, escaping, and disappearing, and they consider him a huge threat to their shadowy organization. Kidnapped and held hostage as his enemies get closer, the story
picks up when his captors realize that though they've trapped him, they're also trapped
him. Moving at a blistering pace, this white-hot read combines the moves of Jack Reacher, the skills of Jason Bourne, and the brains and money of Tony Stark.
The Dark Room
Jonathan Moore
Suspense Fiction. SFPD homicide inspector Gavin Cain is watching the exhumation of a body buried back in 1985 when he is abruptly reassigned to another case: someone is blackmailing San Francisco's mayor with a set of disturbing photographs that suggest that the woman pictured in them came to an unhappy end. Unless the mayor commits suicide, more photos will be made public. Reluctant to release his first case (especially when two bodies are found in the coffin), Cain works both and finds links between them. A wealth of details makes this dark, menacing follow-up to
The Poison Artist
a good choice for fans of police procedurals.
Burning Bright
Nicholas Petrie
Thriller. Afghan war veteran Peter Ash is hiking through northern California's redwoods when he's forced up a tree to escape a grizzly. What he finds in that tree is an elaborate network of ropes, with a pretty blonde on the platform at the top. June Cassidy is no treehugger, however -- she's an investigative journalist on the run from fake government agents who believe she's in possession of a powerful algorithm created by her mother, who'd recently been killed. June hires Peter to discover who's behind the threat, and they uncover far more than expected. The 2nd in a series that started with
The Drifter
(with promises of at least two more to come),
Burning Bright
is a fast-paced, action-packed read that also addresses the effects of PTSD.
Her Every Fear: A Novel
Peter Swanson
Psychological Suspense. With a stalker ex-boyfriend in the none-too-distant past, London artist Kate Priddy agrees to a six-month apartment swap with a Boston-based cousin she's never met. Already anxious, her fears escalate when she discovers her new apartment building was the site of a recent homicide. Distrusting her cousin's professions of innocence as well as the attentions of a handsome new acquaintance, Kate begins to second-guess everything, including her own doubts. There's a "delicious monster-under-the-bed creepiness" (
) in this second novel from the author of
The Kind Worth Killing
Focus on: Obsession
Jeffery Deaver
Suspense Fiction. In this 3rd of four books starring Special Agent Kathryn Dance, the California Bureau of Investigation body-language expert is on hand to aid an investigation into the death of the chief roadie for popular singer Kayleigh Towne, who's got a stalker she can't seem to ditch. While the investigation focuses on the stalker, no one can get a really good read on him -- and he seems to sidestep every effort to block, capture, or pin him down. A twisty read full of red herrings (and with character cameos from author Jeffery Deaver's popular Lincoln Rhyme series), this is a page-turning tale of obsession perfect for fans of John Katzenbach's
The Wrong Man
Into the Darkest Corner: A Novel
Elizabeth Haynes
Psychological Suspense. Four years ago, Catherine Bailey was a vibrant 30-something with an active social life. Now, she's moved to a new city, changed her name and appearance, and is fully controlled by fear and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Attacked and nearly killed by her charismatic but manipulative and violent boyfriend, Lee, Catherine never feels safe -- especially when she learns that Lee is about to be released from prison. Told in chapters that alternate between Catherine's past and present and make clear the wreckage of her life, the novel's suspense escalates as we move closer to the attack -- and to Lee's possible return in the present. A bestseller in England, this gripping 2012 debut from an author compared to S.J. Watson and Lisa Gardner has been followed by four more equally menacing novels.
The Book of You: A Novel
Claire Kendal
Psychological Suspense. After a disturbing evening with a colleague about which she remembers little but suspects plenty, university administrator Clarissa Bourne becomes the unwilling target of this man's constant texts, calls, visits, and gifts. Jury duty comes as a relief, until Clarissa realizes that the violent crime unfolding in front of the jury box has parallels to her own life -- and demonstrates just how easily her experiences could be discredited. As she begins friendships with the other jurors, her colleague's obsession with her crosses the line between fantasy and reality, and his threats escalate. "Troubling, raw, and gripping" says
Publishers Weekly
of this suspenseful debut.
You: A Novel
Caroline Kepnes
Psychological Suspense. Guinevere Beck is an aspiring writer new to New York. She's young, beautiful, creative. Bookstore clerk Joe Goldberg spots her one day at his East Village store, and knows instantly that she's the one for him. Beck takes more convincing. Told from Joe's perspective (and addressed to "you") as their relationship picks up speed,
is a creepy, claustrophobic read as Joe's interest and desire to protect Beck clearly lives in stalker territory. Yet even as passion becomes obsession (and worse), this "mesmerizing" (
) debut is sure to appeal to fans of Elizabeth Haynes or Nicci French; a sequel called
Hidden Bodies
is now available too.
Finders Keepers: A Novel
Stephen King
Suspense Fiction. In this follow-up to
Mr. Mercedes
, an obsessive fan disappointed in his literary idol kills reclusive writer John Rothstein, stealing and hiding notebooks containing his unpublished work. This fan -- Morris Bellamy -- is then jailed for a completely unrelated crime. While he's behind bars for 35 years, high school student Peter Staubers, who has grown up with Rothstein's work, finds the notebooks, putting him in the direct path of the soon-to-be-paroled Bellamy. Though it's the middle act of a trilogy, starring the cop tasked with protecting Peter,
Finders Keepers
is a menacing story that stands just fine on its own.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated over 100 cases of suspected Islamic extremists either in the U.S. military or closely associated with it.
About a dozen of the cases are considered "serious," according to a report from National Public Radio — based on a closed House-Senate committee hearing in December. There is no indication as to whether the number has increased in the ensuing six months. This is the first time the number of cases has been publicly reported.
"Serious" cases include suspects who are planning attacks or are in touch with "dangerous individuals."
Both the FBI and Department of Defense declined to comment to The Daily Caller about the investigations.
Sources familiar with the investigation confirmed the case number to NPR. The threats reportedly include both active and reserve military personnel, individuals with access to military facilities and even family members of people with military dependent ID cards.
Since the 2009 Fort Hood massacre — in which a radicalized Army Major opened fire on base, killing 13 and injuring dozens more — the Pentagon and FBI have been on high alert to prevent similar attacks.
"I was surprised and struck by the numbers; they were larger than I expected," Connecticut independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, said.
"I know one can say that as a percentage of the millions of people in active military service or working with contractors, the numbers you talk about are a small percentage of the total," he added, "but the reality is it only took one man, Nidal Hasan, to kill 13 people at Fort Hood and injure a lot more."
Lieberman would not confirm the numbers.
Hasan faces the death penalty. His trial begins August 20.

Yes. You will need to know basic bead weaving stitches such as ladder stitch, peyote stitch and brick stitch. You will also need to know how to add thread (if your existing thread is too short), how to end your beadwork and how to add attachments or connector beads if making jewelry.
If needed, I will try my best to help you along by providing you with tips and video links. Please take time to view this youtube link if you are new to beadweaving, bit.ly/learnbrickstitch.
Definitely not! Use either Peyote or Brick Stitch to weave your design. Many of my patterns are created on a Peyote Stitch chart because it's my personal preference. However, when actually beading my piece, I turn my pattern sideways and stitch using the brick stitch technique.
You can start anywhere you want to. Some people have told me that they like to start from the center moving outwards while others like to start at the edge. I usually start at the widest/tallest point or on the row/column that I plan to attach a connector bead (so I can get that out of the way first).
It is a personal preference (as of Sept. 2015, new patterns will not show the finishing loop info). Instead of a loop, I like to stitch on a closed jump ring.
You may sell your finished beadwork made from my pattern as long as
1. You purchased the pattern from my shop or received it as a free pattern that has been shared by me
2. It is made by your own hands (no mass production, wholesale, etc.)
3. Do not imply or claim my original design as your own.

School officials said they are pleased with the scores on the Connecticut Mastery Tests (CMTs) and the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT) for the 2012-2013 school year, and are ready to prepare for changes the exams will bring during the current school year. Students in grades three to eight take the CMTs, which evaluate their skills in mathematics, reading and writing, every year. Fifth and eight grade students also take science, an additional section of the test.
Students in the district scored above the state average across all subjects in regards to the percentage of students meeting the goal on the tests. The "goal" is equivalent to what school officials want students to attain every year, which is also the percentage that federal programs like No Child Left Behind evaluate to ensure that students do not fall behind academically.
When school officials evaluate the test scores, they view them laterally in order to understand the strengths and weaknesses of grade levels instead of comparing the score to the year before.
For instance, fourth graders scored 6.9 percent higher on the reading portion than they did last year as third graders. Fifth graders, sixth graders and seventh graders also showed improvements in the reading section. The fifth grade class scored 3.6 percent higher while the sixth grade class scored 6.1 percent higher. The seventh grade class scored 3.5 percent higher and the eighth grade class remained exactly the same at 88 percent.
The third grade class met goal across all sections of the test. They scored 83 percent in mathematics, 71 percent in reading and 73.2 percent in writing.
"Southington really held itself, and in some cases we even scored higher than in the past," Assistant Supt. of Schools Karen Smith said during a recent Board of Education meeting. "We are seeing some continued growth in the areas we have been focusing for the last few years."
Students in tenth grade take the CAPT, which evaluates their skills in reading, writing, science and mathematics. They take this test once throughout their high school career, so school officials cannot track the students' progress over the years. Scores for the sophomores increased this year in math, science and writing. There was a 3.2 percent increase in the math, a 5.5 percent increase in science and a 5.7 percent increase in writing. The percentage of students meeting goal on the reading portion decreased by 1.8 percent.
"I am proud to share that our scores remained solid, and I am particularly proud of the high school," said Southington School Supt. Dr. Joseph Erardi. "Our math scores remained solid, and our reading scores across the district [went through] static or incremental growth."
Dr. Erardi said educators across the district started to prepare students for the new Common Core State Standards, which the state adopted in 2010. The Common Core State Standards have higher expectations for what students in every grade must learn, consisting of fewer lesson plans that dig deeper into each subject. The CMT and CAPT are not designed in alignment with the Common Core State Standards.
By the 2014-2015 school year, Connecticut will administer the Smarter Balanced Assessments at all schools, and will only implement the science portion of the CMT and CAPT. Dr. Erardi said Governor Dannel Malloy has asked for a waiver from CMT and CAPT, which allows districts to "opt out" of traditional testing during the current school year. The Southington school district has decided to start the Smarter Balanced Assessments this year, instead of taking traditional tests. Students will take the new test online rather than use paper and pencils to complete it.
"We will move to Smarter Balanced testing for this school year, allowing us to be fully prepared for the following school year," Erardi said.

Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, the smallest part of your waist and the largest part of your hips. Measure the entire circumference and make sure your tape measure remains parallel to the ground. Heights comply with German standards (Ladies with size 36/small – 168cm, Men with size 48/small – 180cm).
After taking measurements compare your results with the chart. If you are in-between sizes the choice is yours. All of our garments are slim fit and comply with German standards. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, choose the bigger size, but if you like it tight, better opt for the smaller size. For example, if your chest circumference size is medium but your waist size is small, we recommend you choose in favour of your chest circumference.
Our apparel envelops you like a second skin - that's why you should treat it as such.

The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck on bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now. Haley James

You needn't be a rocket scientist to grasp the puzzle Steven Meerdink faces with "Sunset Boulevard." The artistic director of Minneapolis Musical Theatre had the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on his short list for years. But MMT is a small, itinerant company that produces in intimate venues, and "Boulevard" is your typical mammoth Broadway set design with a re-creation of a Hollywood mansion.
"The size of the production was daunting," said Meerdink, who saw the 1996 national tour in Minneapolis. "We had to get past that and rethink the whole thing."
Rather than focus on the cavernous haunts of Norma Desmond, Meerdink chose to zero in on the mercurial film star's character and interactions with those around her. We will find out how successful Meerdink's vision is when Sarah Gibson takes her close-up as Norma this Friday at Hennepin Theatre Trust's New Century Theatre — a small stage in downtown Minneapolis.
For generations, Gloria Swanson stamped in our heads her image of Norma Desmond, created in Billy Wilder's 1950 film. It remains one of the eeriest performances in film history, with Swanson confidently allowing her character to go a little mad.
After Lloyd Webber translated the movie into a stage musical — with help from writer Christopher Hampton — the role has provided fresh and juicy meat for several legendary actors.
"I looked at a lot of different performances — Patti LuPone, Betty Buckley, Glenn Close," said Gibson before rehearsal. "Glenn Close, have you seen that? It's stunning how she chews the scenery, and that's not a criticism."
Aspirations gone awry
The Norma Desmond story and her codependent relationship with whipped screenwriter Joe Gillis (Tim Kuehl at MMT) are just so irresistibly weird. And yet, perhaps it is the grounded reality of a woman who cannot accept how the world has changed around her that makes the oddness that much more threatening to us.
"She's an underdog," said Gibson. "She was kicked out of Hollywood and is working on her return."
Indeed. Norma, on one level, is just a hustling film star trying to get back on top of Hollywood. She thinks she has a winner in a new film project she's been working on when, lo and behold, a screenwriter shows up on her doorstep. And what a coincidence, he needs work and a place to stay. This is your classic win-win situation — on paper.
Norma's fear of abandonment and Gillis' eroding self-esteem complicate matters. He realizes he's not just writing a treatment, he's writing a fantasy for a delusional woman trapped in her memory.
"She sees her life as a movie," Meerdink said. "She plays that character so caught up in Hollywood, someone pushed into stardom early and then ends up bigger than life."
Norma's pathology invites satire, which might have been fun for Carol Burnett and friends, but is a slippery slope for a legitimate production. Meerdink and Gibson routinely discussed during rehearsals the need to let Norma be big and showy in her ridiculous moments, but somehow exist in her own distorted reality.
"People love a train wreck," Gibson said.
Story's big, stage is small
Getting the show on the New Century's small stage will be a challenge. Meerdink said it reminds him of the shows MMT produced at the old Hennepin Stages space — except with "a nicer floor."
Regardless, it's a small footprint, and Meerdink has decided the answer is in reimagining the concept. His logic is this: because "Sunset Boulevard" exists as a flashback, and because Norma appears to have gone completely around the bend in that fateful climax, could we assume she ends up institutionalized?
This way, Meerdink contends, the walls and furniture of the institution become the pieces of the opulent mansion — an idea not unlike the created fiction of Romeo and Juliet. MMT also plans to use slide projections, much like an opera, and to use live cameras to reinforce the motif of Norma living her life on screen.
"I felt it was doable to strip this down, like we did with 'Candide,' " said Meerdink, referring to MMT's 2001 production at Bryant-Lake Bowl. "There's no reason for it to be as big as it was on Broadway."
Or to put into Norma Desmond's lingo, the musical is still big, it's the stage that got small.
What: Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Book and lyrics by Christopher Hampton and Don Black. Directed by Steven Meerdink for Minneapolis Musical Theatre.
When: 7:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat., Thu.; 5 p.m. Sun. Ends June 23.
Where: New Century Theatre, 615 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls.
Tickets: $24-$29, 1-800-982-2787 or HennepinTheatreTrust.org.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- While afternoon rains put a damper on the Summit Racing Equipment sportsman championships, action in the Nitro Jam ranks was as hot as ever as Tennessee's own Clay Millican and Ron Hope swept the action in IHRA's professional categories at the Summit Racing Equipment World Finals at Memphis International Raceway.
The biggest races of the weekend, the Summit Tournament of Champions and Summit SuperSeries competitions, were rained out on Saturday and will be run to their conclusion on Sunday.
Saturday was all about the boys of the Volunteer State.
Millican, from right down the road in Drummonds, Tenn., bested longtime friend and rival Bruce Litton four out of four passes during the weekend. Both drivers struggled to find traction Saturday night as the tricky conditions got the best of them, but it was Millican getting enough of a push to come away with round wins culminating with a final pass of 5.361 seconds at 183.32 miles per hour in the winning effort.
Hope's final, race clinching lap was a 6.363, 215.27 with Hough following right behind in the same lane.
Greg Jacobsmeyer won the consolation round when Minick broke.

The Southeast Deer Study Group meets annually for researchers and managers to share the latest information on the most important wildlife species in North America. These meetings provide an important forum for the sharing of research results, management strategies, and discussions that can facilitate the timely identification of, and solutions to, problems relative to the management of white-tailed deer.
The Southeast Deer Study Group annual meeting is hosted with the support of the directors of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and the states of Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, and Texas. The first meeting was held as a joint Northeast-Southeast Meeting in Virginia in 1977. Appreciating the economic, aesthetic, and biological value of the white-tailed deer in the southeastern United States, the desirability of conducting an annual Southeast Deer Study Group Meeting was recognized and urged by the participants. Since February 1979, these meetings have been held annually for the purpose of bringing together managers, researchers, administrators, and users of this vitally important renewable natural resource. A searchable list of all presentation abstracts from 1977-present is available on this site, as well as a list of the meetings, their locations, and themes.
The Southeast Deer Study Group was formed as a subcommittee of the Forest Game Committee of the Southeastern Section of The Wildlife Society. The Deer Subcommittee was given full committee status in November 1985 at the Southeastern Section of The Wildlife Society's annual business meeting. States participating regularly in the Southeast Deer Study Group include Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

text: Offering a brief detour from obligatory Simpsons references into obligatory Arrested Development references, Vulture reports that Judy Greer has joined the cast of Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes—not in the role of the human that so many have been born to, etc. etc., but rather as one of those damned, dirty apes. Greer will be hidden behind a motion-capture suit to play Cornelia, the love interest for Andy Serkis' Caesar, and a role that not only reunites her with her 13 Going On 30 co-star, it fulfills her husband's incredibly deep obsession with the Planet Of The Apes franchise. Anyway, Greer said little else about the part, other than joking, "I'm not going to be Manolo Blahniks in this one." But that's okay, because now we can just move on to saying things like, "Have we tried tail up, matted coat of your own feces off?" and "Say goodbye to these! [destroys final vestiges of mankind's control over the Earth]" and other Arrested Development stuff.

As a junior, Naquandre Hill learned from fellow defensive linemen Carter Roberts and Calvin Pate.
As a junior, Naquandre Hill learned from fellow defensive linemen Carter Roberts and Calvin Pate.
Once they departed, Hill sprouted into a leader on New Bern�s defensive front.
On Thursday, Hill signed to play college football at Division II Chowan. He was joined by parents Nikki Hill and Irving Glenn, along with New Bern football coach Bobby Curlings.
�When Chowan called and wanted me to come check out the campus, I loved it,� Hill said. �It is small and I can meet everybody. You are not just a number in a class. The teachers and professors know you by name.�
Hill will start his college career as a preferred walk-on, with an opportunity to earn a scholarship later on.
The 5-foot-10 nose guard will be the first person in his family to play sports in college.
He also follows a long list of former New Bern athletes to compete at the next level.
�It�s feels great to be apart of the legacy,� Hill said. �There are great players from this school that have gone on to play in college.�
Former New Bern football standout J.R. Williams is a starting running back at Chowan. His words helped Hill pick Chowan.
�(J.R.) told me it�s a great Christian school, and everybody is a family,� Hill said. �The whole team is like brothers. There is a lot of love there.�
Chowan plays in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Hawks were second in the conference last season, and posted a 6-4 record.
�I will be working hard to get that scholarship,� Hill said. �I�m going to continue to get bigger, faster and stronger and take somebody�s job.�
Hill, who was a key member of New Bern�s state championship defense, hopes to see playing time early and help the Hawks claim a conference title.
�I believe I can take the same attitude that we had here (at New Bern) and take that state championship mentality to Chowan and help them win a CIAA championship,� he said.
Hill�s shining moment for the Bears last season came in the second game of the regular season against rival Havelock.
He reached up and snagged an interception away from Rams� quarterback Pharoh Cooper and rumbled 10 yards for a touchdown.
New Bern came away with a 34-33 victory.
�Naquandre is like a lot of high school players that were outstanding high school players, but when colleges come around to recruit, they don�t fit the mold with the height,� said Curlings.
�Naquandre does great things in the weight room and he runs well for a big guy. Chowan is getting someone that is going to come in and get to play early.�
Hill concluded his senior season with a state championship after New Bern topped Porter Ridge, 39-38, in the title game in Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill.
With a chance to continue playing football, Hill couldn�t be happier.
�It was a great senior year,� he said. �Winning that state championship, that topped it all off. We worked hard all year and we took an attitude that we were going to win a state championship.�
