While many will undoubtedly remember him as the father of fracking, a wildcatter and the developer of The Woodlands, I will remember Mitchell as a man who loved science.
He's responsible for bringing Stephen Hawking, the world's most famous living scientist, to Texas three times. He's given nearly $200 million to scientific causes, a large chunk of which has gone to astrophysics programs at Texas A&M University.
In my discussions with Mitchell about science he would always take me back to when he was a boy, sitting on the Galveston sea wall, looking up at the stars and wondering what it all meant.
It is undoubtedly true that Mitchell spent a large part of his life hard at work in the practical world, dreaming up new ways to find and capture hydrocarbons.
But toward the end of his life, with his billions secure, he returned to those dreams and funded those who have the intellect to try and answer the big questions about the cosmos: What is up there? Why is the universe expanding? What happened during the Big Bang? What are the fundamental laws of nature that bind the universe together?
It is not hard to find energy tycoons in Houston who will give money to medical research. The edifice of the Texas Medical Center is built upon philanthropy.
But it is rare to find such men and women who love pure science. He truly loved physics and physicists. For this reason Mitchell will be greatly missed.

It's that time of the year again …
That's right! It is that time of the year when Southeast Texans clear calendars and make plans to be on hand for one of the most anticipated events in our area — A Tasting for Some Other Place. This year, the plans are bigger and better than ever, and mouths are already watering thinking of what will be available to share with friends and family. Be on hand on Tuesday, Aug. 21, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. for the opportunity to taste delicious cherry fluff, Cajun rice dressing, Frog-Eyed Salad, Fire and Ice pickles, strawberry shortcake, Holy Ghost gumbo, bread pudding, stuffed jalapenos, shrimp etouffee, pulled pork soft tacos, tamale balls, and much, much more.
Not only will you and your family and friends get to enjoy the tastiest food on the planet, but you will also get to visit with 2,000 of your closest friends, hear great local band Mid-Life Crisis, and help a most worthwhile cause. All proceeds will help to ensure the continuation of the valuable ministry of Some Other Place, where people help people. There is also a drawing scheduled for a beautiful quilt donated by the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild, plus this year a shuttle service will be provided by Sun Travel to deliver guests to the front doors of the Civic Center.
Since 1968, Some Other Place has served the north Jefferson County area by providing emergency assistance to low income families who have faced emergency situations. It was decided by the Board of Directors to host this event in hopes that it would become an annual one with all proceeds going to the benefit the work of Some Other Place.
The last nine years have seen the event become a standard in our area and were declared huge successes with more than 3,000 tickets sold annually and great crowds of fun-loving folks attending. More than $50,000 has been raised each year to help keep the work of SOP continuing and expanding. This event is the only fundraising endeavor sponsored by SOP for its programming.
When asked about the name of the organization, executive director Paula O'Neal simply smiled and said, "Oh, that's a funny story in itself. When needy and hurting people visited other agencies and places of help, they were turned away for one reason or another. One was told, 'We cannot help you here. You do not meet our qualifications and guidelines. You'll have to go some other place.' And thus, we became that other place that these folks needed in our area."
Some Other Place is a faith-based mission and is the place people turn to for emergency services in times of need and for ongoing programs like home-delivered meals, the Anne Rogers Vaxler Nutrition Center, Henry's Place, back-to-school programs, John Terry Moore Thanksgiving Store, and the Christmas Giving Tree program, all of which provide assistance at no charge to the recipient.
In 2011, Some Other Place provided help to 4,628 families in need with 11,570 individuals being served. More than 104,702 meals were served and 10,000 visits were recorded to Henry's Place, the SOP day center for the homeless.
The serving booths will be decorated and all participants encouraged to get involved in this fun aspect of the evening. Judges from Clear Channel Radio are Jim Love, Harold Mann and Kevin Born.
"You know, I am constantly amazed," said O'Neal. "I am convinced that there is no other area of the country that is as generous and concerned for their fellow man as is Southeast Texas. Whatever our needs have been in the past, we simply stated them and waited to see how God directed folks to respond. We could not take care of the number of people we do without this selfless generosity and the many gifts from those who believe as we do about the needs of fellow citizens."
O'Neal went on to say that this one night brings so many people together that support the ministry all year long. "It is somewhat like a big family reunion, and it is wonderful," said the ever-smiling O'Neal, who is very serious about her mission. "I would not dare miss attending even for a moment." It seems that many feel the same as the director.
Tickets are available from Some Other Place, the Civic Center box office, Jason's Deli, (Gateway and Dowlen Road locations), and participating congregations. There will also be a free shuttle service from all city parking lots, and First Baptist, First Methodist, and Saint Mark's Episcopal churches. The cost is $10 per ticket. For additional information, call (409) 832-7976.

Pune art lovers have a rare opportunity to see five different approaches of handling 'lines' in the exhibition called 'Reshawishkar'(expressions of lines). This exhibition is conceptualized and curated by the renowned Indian artist Sudhir Patwardhan. The five artists on display are art veterans Krishan Khanna, Gieve Patel, and well known artists from contemporary Indian art scene Jyoti Basu, Tushar Joag and Vilas Shinde. The exhibition opened on September 17th and will run till the 1st of October at 'Sudarshan Kala Dalan' (detailed address at the end of the post). This show is the first part of the series of two exhibitions planned, the second of which will be in November.
Line is a fundamental element of art and every artist has his/ her unique personal relationship with it. A line can be simple or complex, fine or brute, drawn or painted. Artists explore a multitude of possibilities and make diverse statements through the handling of lines in their art. Patwardhan has chosen these five artists to give the viewer a glimpse of these very possibilities. But this small show (around 35 small and medium size works) is not only about lines, it is a rare opportunity to peek into the artists' close and personal preparations that stand firmly behind the final artwork. For this reason the pages from the sketchbooks of the great figurative artist Krishan Khanna are an absolute delight to watch!
This show consists of: Krishan Khanna's sketchbook pages, Gieve Patel's large free flowing graphite drawings exploring compositional possibilities, Jyoti Basu's pencil drawings experimenting with the weight of various line forms and its subsequent culmination into line motifs, Tushar Joag's stark commentary on war and conflict in which lines play the protagonist of the intense drama, and Vilas Shinde's dense gathering of lines coalescing into a stunning artwork. Besides the work on display, we also get to read the highly insightful views of these artists on the subject of 'lines'.
Many thanks to Sudhir Patwardhan for hosting this unique exhibition in Pune! The show is a 'must' for the art students and is also highly recommended for all serious lovers of art.
As a part of the same show, there will be a lecture series on the same subject.

Address :
Sudarshan Kala Dalan (art gallery is in the basement of the Sudarshan Rang Manch,- a place well known for the experimental theater shows)

With Republican Larry Kiker stunning long-time District 3 Commissioner Ray Judah in the August primary, the big void will have to be filled in November.
The former mayor of Fort Myers Beach and former reporter Charlie Whitehead will go head to head on election day, and both believe their skillset is perfect for the position.
Larry Kiker
Article Photos
Larry Kiker
Age: 60
Residence: Fort Myers Beach
Occupation: Former mayor of Fort Myers Beach, businessman
Larry Kiker wasn't always involved with the community, but it became become a passion when he became mayor and now wants to bring that kind of involvement to a countywide constituency.
"With six years of solid experience as an official and six years of success in office, I can help bring substantial change to Lee County," Kiker said.
Kiker said the main priority is to keep Lee County from spending itself into oblivion, and his experience in the private sector can help do just that.
"We have to prioritize and specify what we need to spend on. I've worked with other mayors and we need to get municipalities and unincorporated areas to tell Lee County what they are," Kiker said. "I spent 35 years in large corporations and owning my own business and I know what it's like to balance a budget."
Kiker also wants to prioritize the 47,000 people in Lee County who are unemployed or underemployed and established businesses, where he said 85 percent of job creation comes from.
Kiker said only a person with the right skill set and experience can handle the job, and he's the one.
"I can talk positive about what I bring to bear. This is a $2 billion business. This is not an entry-level position," Kiker said. "It requires someone with the skills and background to sit in that chair and be effective."
Charlie Whitehead
Age: 54
Residence: San Carlos Island
Occupation: Writer
Charlie Whitehead has 25 years of knowledge regarding Lee County government formulated as a newspaper reporter for several publications, beginning with The Fort Myers Beach Bulletin, then the Bonita Banner and more than 20 years with the Naples Daily News. He said he's seen things "done well and done badly."
"Porter Goss was county commissioner when I started. I've covered every big story. I have a historical perspective," Whitehead said. "I've spent 25 years studying for the job. There's nothing that comes before the commission I haven't researched and written about."
Whitehead's civic and community involvement includes being president of his neighborhood association, Little League president and umpire and serving on the Beach Elementary School advisory committee.
Whitehead agrees the county needs to prioritize spending and find a way to get along.
"I'm running on a platform of consensus building and civility. There's a lack of effort to get along," Whitehead said. "We have to prioritize spending. The commission doesn't tell them what to cut. It's their job to say 'We can afford this, we can't afford that.'"
Whitehead, a Republican running as a No Party Affiliate, believes he's the true conservative and, according to the endorsements he's received, is the right person for the job.
"I've been unanimously endorsed by the Beach Civic Association and have the support of five of the six living mayors of Fort Myers Beach. Those who know Kiker best support me," Whitehead said. "Those who educate themselves on me and Kiker will vote for me in a landslide."

Juicy Nuggets In the Valley of Death
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 08, 2011 Category: Articles
One of the hardships that comes with walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death is what you are expected to carry out. We tend to think that in that valley there grows a very special sort of tree, a wisdom, or insight tree. We think that this rarest of trees is perpetually heavy laden with low hanging, choice, juicy morsels of brilliance. You're supposed to bring these precious nuggets out the other side to share with your friends. Understandably, though they should know better, some who trek this valley think they've found this precious fruit. The quiet whispers of death on the prowl beget therefore footprints-in-the-sand poems and too often, whole therapeutic books of lessons learned.
It is my habit to write one or two pieces a week for the internet. I write columns for two nationally distributed magazines. I publish, six times a year, my own magazine, Every Thought Captive, that itself in turn carries a column or two by me each issue. All those deadlines do not disappear when my mind is preoccupied as it is now with my wife's battle with leukemia. Which means in turn that her health issues (this is not the first, nor the second time my precious bride has battled cancer, but the third) show up in my prose. If therefore, you are a regular reader, please do not expect me to bring extra-special never-before-written insights. I pray I will write from the heart, but as many of you know, it is the heart of a sinner.
It is true that God is busy sanctifying Denise, and me, and our eight children as He takes us through this. Suffering, however, is rarely given as a narrowly targeted response to a very specific sin. God did not find that I have trouble keeping Book 17, Chapter 12, subsection D paragraph four of His law, then check His Great Physicians Desk Reference to send the right anti-biotic for that weakness. Nor did He send this to help me grow a third arm of holiness. That is, this hardship will not bring forth some weird, never-before seen form of righteousness. The changes He has designed for this are incremental, common, plain. Cancer is manure cast on the ground of the Spirit Tree. His goal through this is that we would love that which is lovely a little bit more. His aim is that we would walk in joy more than we did before. His purpose is that we would exhibit more peace even in the midst of this great battle. The Great Gardener is cultivating the fruit of the Spirit.
There is, therefore, nothing extraordinary about what we are going through. There is no special revelation we're supposed to come away with. We are instead studying in the school of Christ, which has as its end that we would become more like Him. To that end suffering is indeed a great teacher. Her lessons, however, are rather ordinary. When this is over, I pray I will look a little more like Jesus. I pray the same for my wife. It may be His will, however, that she should sooner come to look exactly like Him. Either way, this much I know. Goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

ESA exhibit opens at COP15
Today marks the official opening of ESA's exhibition 'Space for Earth, Understanding Climate Change from Space' at the UN Climate Change Conference, COP15, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
COP15 marks a fundamental step giving politicians, decision-makers and world leaders the opportunity to discuss the most pressing environmental challenges we face today.
The exhibit, hosted in partnership with the Danish Ministry for Science, is located at Kongens Nytorv in the city centre and shows how satellites are playing an important role in observing the many aspects of our ever-changing planet.
Several experts spoke at the event about various aspects of space in climate change research. Showing a variety of breath-taking images of Earth from his two trips to the International Space Station in 2006 and 2009, ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang said: "We do not realise how fragile Earth's atmosphere is, and we should all work together to preserve it."
"Space for Earth is more than a smart slogan," said Peter Hulsroj, ESA Director of Legal Affairs and External Relations. "Some satellites have provided us the occasion to break the horizon and to explore Earth in a completely different fashion. Space is a very important source of information, as it helps decision-makers to find solutions which are based on facts."
In his address, ESA's Head of Science, Applications and Future Technologies Department, Dr Stephen Briggs commented: "With Earth observation satellites, we can contribute to managing climate change mitigation and adaptation. It is important to base decisions from facts, and the facts can be based on satellite data."
Along with a selection of invaluable data on Earth's climate, weather and environment, an impressive full-scale model of ESA's CryoSat-2 satellite to be launched next February is on display.
The CryoSat mission is set to address one of the most hotly debated issues in the environmental science community: how quickly is the ice thinning? By monitoring precise changes in the thickness of the polar ice sheets and floating sea ice, CryoSat-2 aims to answer this question as well as whether the polar ice is shrinking because of global climate change.
Rene Forbserg, Head of Geodynamics at Denmark's National Space Institute (DTU-Space), said: "COP15 is all about climate change, and CryoSat-2 is going to give us data about this."
"Like many others, we in Denmark look forward to the launch of CryoSat-2," said Helge Sander, Danish Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation. "Denmark is also part of the ESA-led Climate Change Initiative, and I am confident that this will greatly benefit science."
ESA started the Climate Change Initiative by making full use of Europe's Earth observation space assets and working with international partners to exploit robust satellite-based long-term global records of essential climate variables.
The Climate Change Initiative will provide the international scientific community with a powerful tool to monitor and understand better the state of the climate system and help to predict the effects a changing climate may bring. The initiative promises to be an extremely effective mechanism for providing datasets to governing bodies for managing climate change.
ESA has a vigorous Earth observation programme, which includes launching 20 satellites over the next 10 years. These include the family of Earth Explorers that will measure key Earth System processes, the Sentinels that will provide operational information services for global monitoring of the environment and security and meteorological missions.
The fleet of ESA's Earth observation satellites, including ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat, has gathered enormous amounts of data about our planet. Archived over 30 years and increasing daily, these data will form the basis for extracting the variables most relevant to climate change and for the implementation of a follow-on Protocol should one be decided in Copenhagen.

High LonesomeBook - 1981
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Lious L'amour remains so popular because few authors can tell a tale quite like he could. Its like sitting around a campfire listening to an old timer spin a yarn. If you've never read him, this is a good start
Ride 'em, Cowboy!
If you, like myself, enjoy reading vivid, well-written and believable tales of the Old West, then you're sure to find High Lonesome a mighty fine yarn that certainly holds one's attention right through to its gripping ending.
Written in 1962 by famous "Western" novelist, Louis L'Amour, High Lonesome's ruff'n'rugged story concerns cowboy/outlaw Considine who's determined to retire from a life of crime - Only to find something even more dangerous to live for.
High Lonesome is a hard-hitting, uniquely American tale of raw courage, haunting regret and second chances. It is told as only Louis L'Amour could possibly tell it.
Throughout his life (1908-1988), L'Amour wrote 90 novels and 26 short-story collections, all of which fell mostly into the genre of the "Western", or "Frontier Fiction" as L'Amour liked to call his stories.
Considered to be one of the world's most popular writers, Louis L'Amour certainly had an amazing talent for capturing the rugged feel of the Wild West in so many of his works.

ATLACOMULCO, Mexico — Enrique Peña Nieto, the man who would be president, grew up in this hilly region of central Mexico surrounded by agricultural fields and mansions of the rich and powerful.
"Atlacomulco is home," Peña Nieto said in an interview. "A small place, my hometown."
Young and telegenic, with hair perfectly combed, Peña Nieto remains an enigmatic figure, despite the ubiquitous campaign pictures plastered across the country on buses, billboards, walls and bumper stickers. Despite high name recognition, relatively little is known about Mexico's president-elect as he prepares to lead the nation of 112 million people and return the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, back to power after 12 years.
For Peña Nieto, analysts and those who know him say, bridging the gap between an old political system and the new party he talks about will help determine how effectively he will govern over the next six years. It will also offer insights into how far he will go to transform the image of a party with a reputation for cronyism and corruption into one of a new generation of public servants eager, as he has said, to win the trust of Mexicans by delivering on campaign promises to restore security and generate jobs.
"His challenge is to bridge two generations," said Andrew Selee, director of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Mexico Institute, who has met Peña Nieto on several occasions.
"He's walked the desert with us, the PRI," said Javier Treviño, a foreign policy adviser who ran Peña Nieto's campaign in the state of Nuevo León. "He understands what's it is like to be thirsty, to be away from power, and to be grateful for a second chance."
Peña Nieto is scheduled to take office Dec. 1, when he begins serving a single six-year term.
His chief rival, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and his left-leaning Party of the Democratic Revolution filed a petition Thursday asking Mexico's electoral court to invalidate the results of the July 1 presidential ballot, alleging that there was vote-buying and campaign overspending by the PRI.
Two sides of 'Quique'
Peña Nieto was born in a hospital in Mexico City's La Condesa neighborhood but grew up in Atlacomulco, about a 90-minute drive northwest of the capital. In interviews with residents and friends here who have known him for more than a decade, two depictions of him emerged.
One is of a hard-working young man, an entrepreneur who would sell popcorn on street corners and shine shoes, an orator so persuasive that some were convinced he would be a priest one day. He was always well-groomed and had impeccable manners. His mother, Socorro, told friends she would squeeze drops of lime juice on his hairline to help form his now-famous pompadour. He grew up listening to ABBA, the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever, the singer Emmanuel and the group Menudo.
"Everyone knew him as Quique," short for Enrique, said Martín Orozco Basilio, 52, a secondary teacher in Atlacomulco who is from nearby San Felipe del Progreso. "You'd see him holding court in the plaza, always so polite and sure of himself."
Widowed in 2007, Peña Nieto, 45, married popular soap opera star Angélica Rivera in 2010, underscoring the other depiction of him: that of a ladies' man who grew up surrounded by beautiful, strong-willed women, including his mother and two sisters, and who had familial ties to some of the country's most powerful men. Two uncles were governors; a distant relative was not only governor, but also his political godfather.
All were part of the so-called Atlacomulco Group, made up of some of the most powerful men in Mexico, men who over decades ran the country through backroom deals, singlehandedly picking local, state and federal officials, according to Harvard historian John Womack. Along the way, the small network also amassed great wealth amid accusations that included ties to drug traffickers. Five of the last six governors of Mexico state originate from this rural community.
"The remnants of power, the ghosts of the past, haven't completely vanished," Womack said.
'Different generation'
One of those men is Arturo Montiel, who served as governor from 1999 to 2005 and mentored a young Peña Nieto, a distant relative. Peña Nieto served as finance director for two political campaigns in the state, did minor jobs in the Montiel government, and eventually rose to become a congressman in the state legislature.
Montiel later tapped Peña Nieto as the candidate to succeed him as governor. Peña Nieto's election fulfilled a childhood dream, he said in an interview.
A campaign aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted that despite his ties to power, Peña Nieto represents a break from the past.
"He comes from a different mindset, a different generation, raised in a more plural, democratic society," the aide said.
Peña Nieto said in the interview that one of his childhood dreams was to attend an Ivy League school, but his political career took off instead, and "now here I am."
Some have questioned his intellect, especially after a campaign appearance at a book fair where he was unable to name three books that had influenced him. But others describe him as a savvy politician with keen instincts.
"You can hire brains, but not instincts," said Tony Garza, a former U.S. ambassador to Mexico who has met Peña Nieto on several occasions. "He's about to don the sash."
Dueling mottos
The state of Mexico is horseshoe-shaped and curves around Mexico City. It has the largest population of any state and is known for its fierce independence — and for a famous phrase. It was uttered by the late Carlos Hank González, who began his career as a teacher and went on to become a politician and PRI power broker. He also amassed a fortune that included a family mansion in Dallas and an estate in Atlacomulco that was so big that drivers used golf carts to round up children as they played hide-and-seek.
Hank González, who was a governor, mayor of Mexico City, a Cabinet member and one of the leaders of the Atlacomulco Group, used the phrase, "Un politico pobre es un pobre politico" — "A politician who is poor is a poor politician."
One day last month, Peña Nieto struck a contrast to that phrase by repeating one he said his father, who died in 2005, raised him with: "In this world, you have to live to serve others, because lives without service to others aren't worth living."
It's a saying that many here, including Carmen Martínez, 62, hope he doesn't forget once he's in office. As a candidate, Peña Nieto made a practice of signing pledges to build roads and clinics, part of an effort to win over a mistrustful nation.
"They're all rats," Martínez said of politicians, especially the men from Atlacomulco. "But Quique at least does what he says he'll do. He signs every pledge."

Sept. 10, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - There is plenty of optimism surrounding the Yale men's 2008 Cross Country squad. This fall will be the Bulldogs ninth season under the command of Dan Ireland and should see the return of the Yale harriers to among the top four teams in the Ivy League. This season's squad will have tremendous senior leadership and plenty of young talent. This season's group will have a mix of both veteran harriers and talented youth that should possess the drive and dedication to success that will allow them to compete with not only the top teams in the Ivy League but in the Northeast as well.
The senior class will be heart of this year's squad and should have a huge impact on the success of the Bulldog's season. Jake Gallagher returns as the team's captain and is a 2-time All-Ivy performer in cross country. Gallagher is one of only 10 Bulldogs to ever break 25:00 at Van Cortlandt Park (VCP). He posted huge pr's on the track last year as well running 3:46 for 1500m and 8:12 3000m. He will also be looking to secure a trip to the NCAA Championships as an individual qualifier. Murat Kayali hopes to improve upon his 15th place finish at the 2006 conference championships with a top 10 showing and is also looking to run sub 25:00 at Van Cortlandt Park. Jared Bell will also be aiming for All Ivy status after having finished 6th at the IC4A Cross Country Championship running 25:26 at VCP. In addition Bell ran 3:44 for 1500m on the track last spring making him the top returning 1500m runner in the conference. John Hinkle had a tremendous Summer of training and has the necessary talent to make a huge contribution and be a consistent top seven performer. Andrew Samuel will also be relied upon if the team is to live up to its potential.
The junior class is will play a pivotal role towards the success of this year's team. Chris Labosky had breakthrough seasons in both cross country and track. He finished the cross country season as the team's number two harrier running 25:30 at VCP. On the track he went to another level running 2:25 for 1000m indoors and finishing 3rd at the Outdoor IC4A's in the 800m where he ran a personal best 1:49.48 in the trials. He is capable of running sub 25:00 at VCP. Max Brown was a consistent top seven runner during his freshmen cross campaign and will be aiming to regain that consistency this fall. Transfer Jeff Perrella (Westfield, NJ) should add immediate depth and talent to an already talented class and has run 14:35 for the 5k. He possesses untapped potential on the cross country course and will be looked upon to provide the dedication and depth that is required for this year's squad to compete with the top teams in the league.
The sophomore class will be looked upon as the foundation for Yale cross country to build up for not only this season but for the next two years and beyond. Johnny Van Deventer should be the leader of this group having finished been a consistent top 5 performer for the squad last season as a freshmen and posting times of 8:21 (3000m) and 14:44 (5000m). Max Walden should be another top performer for the Elis this fall having run 8:33 and 14:59 on the track last spring. Matt Bogdan will also be looked upon to be a top 7 runner after posting track PRs of 8:41 (3000m) and 9:25 (steeple) this past spring. Peter Vizcarrondo, Chris Scavone, James Wyper, and David Demres all possess the potential to be strong contributors to Eli cross squad this fall.
The incoming freshman class consists of four seven athletes whose strengths reside both on the cross country course and on the track. Julian Sheinbaum (Scarsdale, NY) leads this group bringing pr's of 4:11 mile and 9:01 3200m as well as a top 15 finisher at the Northeast Footlocker Regional. Conor Dooney (Dublin, Ireland) comes to Yale as a seasoned harrier over the 8k distance and brings a track pr of 8:36 3000m as well. Jake McKenzie (Philadelphia, PA) should challenge to be part of the squad that competes at Heps and comes to the Elis with high school bests of 4:16 mile and 8:48 3000m. Nathan Richards (Lynchburg, VA) was a top 8 finisher at the Virginia state meet both in cross country and during indoor track at 3200m.
Add together the leadership and focus of the senior class plus the abundant talent of the juniors and sophomores, throw in the new energy of the freshmen and the 2008 Yale Cross Country season has the potential to be one of the best in recent history for the Bulldog program.

A few weeks ago I was in Barney's, a store that really feels out of character for me, but I gave in to temptation and picked up the infamous By Terry Baume de Rose. I just had to see what all the fuss about, I called this "research". I didn't go for the usual pot, I went with the gloss-like version of the lip balm.
When you first use By Terry's Baume de Rose, you start to see glimpses of why this lip balm is so coveted. It's got the most enchanting rose scent to it, the kind of scent you imagine a gorgeous red rose to have. That alone may be worth the price tag to some. The texture is appropriately thick, thicker than your average lip balm, and it smothers your lips with moisture all while leaving a shine on your lips, this particular formula anyhow. I've really enjoyed using lip stains under this lip balm. The light pink color to it softens the color of the stains I use so I'm using them more now because of this. It also has an extra use, you can use it on your cuticles.
Those things aside, I still have a few issues with the product. First, it's got a doe foot applicator. This type of applicator seems to give off some type of graininess during application. When I wipe it off, I wipe off some of the product and start the cycle all over again. I've started just dabbing the wand instead of spreading it around like a gloss. A brush would be much better in this product. The other is the price tag. Part of me is having a hard time getting over the guilt for even spending about $55 including tax for this lip balm. What is in it that makes it this valuable? The lip balm does treat my lips nicely but this is not my holy grail lip balm. It's very nice but there are better lip balms out there at a fraction of the price.
Really what you're paying for here is a luxury item. The rose scent is fabulous but the formula itself doesn't really do anything extraordinary for your lips so it's up to you to decide if this is worth it. As for me, when it run's out, it's out.

The Techniques Of Finding The Right Home Improvement Contractors
If a person wants to derive the best service from the selected contractor, there are lot of things that he must keep in his mind when hiring such a contractor. Home improvement, whether it involves a remodeling, restructuring, or an addition in construction, surely requires to be handled by a professional contractor. As a matter of fact, home improvements are not child's play and may be a difficult task if a person tries to handle it on his own. In order to make improvements that are required it involves a number of arrangements, which have to be done very carefully as well. So it should be kept in mind that home improvements could best be handled by a qualified contractor, and it's best if a houseowner goes for hiring a licensed home improvement contractor.
Remember, the worth of home improvement depends upon the qualities of the contractor a person decides to sign up for the service.
There are so several people calling themselves contractors over the Internet, but some of them have no idea about 'what to do' and 'how to do', and they might cause great trouble to the person who is engaging them, in terms of loss of time as well as loss of money. So, great care should be taken if one is going to employ a contractor for home improvement. To investigate about the suitability of the candidate, and also to confirm that the chosen contractor knows the techniques of the trade, the following checklist may be put into use.
How do you find a convincing home improvement contractor: The following suggestions are to be considered as indispensable in ensuring the suitability of the contractor for the home improvement project.
Have wonderful communication skills: The first very indispensable aspect of the contractor personality that may be a sign of a successful person is clear and well-versed communication ability with the employer. He must be very clear in his dealings and fair in his business. He must be able to discuss any problem that might arise and give advice when required.
Contractor should be well organized: A well-organized candidate is the one who has a well-organized personality and that reflects in his or her business. The required time for the completion of the job, the required amount and the expenses that are to be made till the very end of the job, the issues that could arise during the course of the job, all these must be foreseeable by the contractor, and he should be thus capable. In this way, he shall forecast the time and money required to the employer, and the owner will able to make up his or her mind about what is exactly needed and oblige.
Contractor should be prompt in response: When the employer tries to contact the contractor, there must be proper and timely response from the contractor. A candidate who is not responsive, and also vague in his response if there's one, is always a mess and can cause great trouble in the present and future work.
Contractor must understand the nature of improvements to be made: The selected candidate must be able to understand the 'what' and 'how' of the home improvement. The renovation remodeling contractors who understand the actual requirements of the home improvement project prove best.
Contractor must be capable of making some creative changes if such changes are required for a better structure: The better home improvement contractor would be only the candidate who is capable of foreseeing the possible benefits and liabilities of the proposed structure and capable of making creative improvements.
Make sure that the contractor is qualified: Before deciding the final contractor, the employer must make sure that the contractor possesses a well-reputed qualification or certificate obtained from a reputed organization. A qualified contractor shall work more precisely than an ordinary one.
Selected contractor must have past experience: The candidate who is going to be selected as the home improvement contractor must have sufficient previous experience. This contractor, if he has enough such experience, will understand the job better and will have answers to possible issues, and also will be in a position to finish the job in a better way.
Check out testimonials: The best evidence of a particular contractor is known by the checking out of the testimonials of that contractor that are based on his already completed projects.
Contractor should have legitimate references: What the contractor provides as reference is quite essential. How much an employer may trust a good contractor in the successful completion of the given project depends on such references; the more the better.
Contractor covers all issues regarding improvements of a house: The contractor a person takes into service must cover all the possible areas of a home improvement project. It must be made obvious that there would be no requirement for the employer to seek help from other contractors for different areas of improvement such as plumbing, sanitary, electrician, mason and so on. A person should employ a contractor that can handle all the related works by himself and should not bother the employer to employ separate contractors. Lots of subcontractors or workgroups, who are specialized in their individual fields, shall be known to such home improvement additions contractors and they will work under him efficiently.
Contractor must be licensed: The most crucial of all considerations is the licensed working. The contractor who is to be selected should possess a proper license as a contractor by the concerned authority.
In order to conclude all the above-mentioned qualities that are considered as ideal to be presented by the selected contractor, an employer shall use different methods to get the perfect home improvement candidate. For example, the employer can search for a contractor by going to referrals from the surrounding area, and by asking people who have recently completed an improvement project in their home. There he can have better information needed for the qualitative analysis of different contractors.
A survey to ascertain the facts on different firms that offer contractor services for home improvements, may be made by the employer. Internet may be a better tool in order to search for a reputable contractor firm. Another way is that the person who wants to have a home improvement shall interview different contractors and ask related questions in order to gather information that shall be helpful in deciding which contractor will be the most official candidate for the particular project. By searching through and interviewing different contractors, sufficient information shall be gathered about contractors and a person can easily decide on whom he or she could engage as his or her home improvement contractor.

CD-i Emulator to explore ROM-less emulation
>> Friday, October 29, 2010
Cdifan posted some interesting thoughts to develop CD-i Emulator more like CD-ICE: This first CD-i Emulator tried to emulate CD-i with the use of the original ROM of the player. Cdifan: "I have some wild ideas about ROM-less emulation; this would basically mean re-implementing the CD-RTOS operating system. It can be done, CD-ice proved it. I'm not going to tackle that by myself; my current thinking is to make a start by implementing a high-level emulation framework, tracing stubs for all the calls (luckily these can mostly be generated automatically from the digital Green Book and OS-9 manuals) and some scaffolding and samples. One of the pieces of scaffolding would be a really simple CD-i player shell; one that just shows a big "Play CD-i" button and then starts the CD-i title :-)"
Furthermore he explains the start of his CD-i Cookbook: "To prepare for the above I had to do some fairly heavy design, which caused me to properly write down some of the design information and tradeoffs for the first time. This will be invaluable information for co-developers (if they ever materialize), hence the title "CD-i Emulator Cookbook". Well, at present it's more like a leaflet but I hope to expand it over time and also add some history." Read a lot more details on his blog, cdibits.

Sharks rally, beat Stars in shootoutby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- Before facing the Dallas Stars on Saturday night in his fifth start of the season, San Jose Sharks backup goaltender Alex Stalock hadn't played in a game or seen a shot from an opponent in 15 days.
Stalock made up for lost time after the puck dropped at SAP Center. He stopped a career-high 44 of 46 shots in regulation and overtime then denied all five shots he saw in the shootout, lifting the Sharks to a 3-2 victory.
"Everyone pulls for him," defenseman Jason Demers said of Stalock. "Everyone loves him in this room, especially where he's come from, that injury. He works hard. He works harder than any goalie you'll see in the league. He deserves something like that. We all have full confidence in both of our goalies. For him to come in like that and play a game like that was great to see. I think guys really fed off of it."
Stalock suffered a career-threatening injury on Feb. 3, 2011, while playing for Worcester of the American Hockey League. Stalock had a tendon and nerve behind his left knee severed by an opponent's skate, but he has battled back and earned an NHL job as Antti Niemi's backup.
Stalock improved his record this season to 4-1-0 as San Jose tied its season high for shots allowed.
"I think any goalie will tell you that with more shots it's a little easier to get more comfortable in the nets," said Stalock, who got stronger as the game moved along. "You don' t have to really think about what's coming next. This way it's back and forth. Their guy is getting tested and then they're coming down to our end. It's a little easier to get into it."
Joe Thornton scored the only goal of the tiebreaker to start the fifth round; it was his second game-deciding goal in as many tries this season. After Thornton beat Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen with a shot just inside the left post, Stalock stopped Ray Whitney to end the game.
Thornton scored the game-winner in the eighth round of a shootout against the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 27, and Sharks coach Todd McLellan called his number again against Dallas.
"You don't really want to know what my reaction was when he called me," said Thornton, who's far better known for his passing skills and rarely takes part in shootouts.
"I've seen him win two games for us," McLellan said. "We may call it more often. That's what you expect from your captain, to step up in those situations and deliver, and he did."
Demers and Joe Pavelski scored in regulation for the Sharks, who overcame a 2-0 second-period deficit. Whitney and Antoine Roussel scored for the Stars, and Lehtonen made 37 saves.
The Sharks beat Dallas for the fifth straight time at SAP Center and evened the season series at one win apiece. San Jose won for just the third time in its past nine games.
"It's always frustrating to lose and tonight it felt deeper for whatever reason," Roussel said. "They push back and find a way to win. That's why they keep going to the playoffs every year. It's still a learning curve for us. We played a great game but we couldn't get the big bounce."
The Stars built a 2-0 lead on goals by Whitney in the first period and Roussel early in the second, but Demers cut Dallas' lead to 2-1 midway through the middle period with his first goal of the season, and the Sharks pulled even on Pavelski's goal at 4:24 of the third.
Thornton won a battle for the puck along the boards and sent the puck ahead to Pavelski. Skating right to left, he backhanded a shot from the crease over Lehtonen's right shoulder for his 14th goal of the season.
"We haven't won many [third periods] in the last stretch," Pavelski said. "We kind of talked about being ready at the start of the third. The other night we were kind of in the same situation and they come out and score right away the first shift," he said of a 4-1 loss to the Kings in Los Angeles on Thursday. "Be ready at the start, get that first shot at the net, and we broke them down from there."
The Stars took a 1-0 lead 4:48 into the game when Whitney, a former Shark, scored his fourth goal of the season. Whitney sent a backhander through defenseman Brad Stuart's legs and over Stalock's glove for his 35th point in 37 career games against the Sharks.
Dallas outshot the Sharks 14-10 in the first period. Both teams went 0-for-2 on the power play.
Coming into the game, San Jose had outscored its opponents 44-15 in the first period and outshot them 431-282.
Roussel scored on a tip-in from close range at 4:47 of the second period during a delayed penalty to give the Stars a 2-0 lead. Alex Goligoski fired a shot into a mass of bodies in front of the net -- including Roussel, who had knifed between Sharks defensemen Dan Boyle and Matt Irwin. The puck deflected past Stalock for Roussel's eighth goal of the season.
"I think we could have put the game away in the second period," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "We had five or six Grade A opportunities but we couldn't get a foot on the head of the snake. Some of those opportunities they made great saves and some of them we just missed the net. We skated well but we didn't win the game."
The Stars appeared to have taken a 3-0 lead at 8:19 when Colton Sceviour, flat on the ice, reached out and scored on a rebound after the puck squirted away from Stalock, who briefly had it covered. But the goal was waived off because referee Mike Leggo had blown the play dead.
Demers cut Dallas' lead to 2-1 at 11:47, scoring on a rush. Tyler Kennedy dropped a pass back from along the right boards to Demers, who beat Lehtonen with a one-timer.
"It was my first? I didn't even know," Demers joked. " We defended the rush really well and I just jumped up fourth man up ice and TK made an unbelievable play. He really sold the shot and I just tried to shoot as hard as I could and it went in. It's good to get that one off my back and hopefully a few of them come a little bit more now."
Stars defenseman Sergei Gonchar was hit with the puck on the right side of face with 7:55 left in the second period. He left the ice and did not return to the game, leaving the Stars with five defensemen for the remainder.
"He's all right," Ruff said. "He took the puck to the face and he'll stay out a little while. I thought those five [defensemen] played a heck of a game."
Sharks rookie forward Tomas Hertl was out of the lineup for the first time this season and is expected to miss at least a month with an injured right knee. He was hurt Thursday night in the first period against Los Angeles during a knee-on-knee collision with Kings captain Dustin Brown.
Hertl had been skating on a line with Thornton and right wing Brent Burns. With Hertl out, McLellan shuffled his lines.
"We'll probably go through this for a little bit until we found something we feel comfortable with game in and game out," McLellan said. "Wasn't a Picasso by any means, but at this time of the year and maybe from now on through, to find a near-perfect game might exist."
Stars veteran forward Vernon Fiddler was activated from injured reserve and returned to the lineup after missing six games with an upper body injury.
