Excellent link pv.
I know there's a pic in there somewhere.
Due to lack of rhyme or reason with military numbering schemes means having to wade through every one of those pics in the library.
They make it tuff but by god, now that I know where to go, I will find it.

I'm still looking.
I have found some pics that are within a week of the date.
I have been researching individual contributors of the pics now.
I got one response so far and he didn't have it.
I'm still waiting for the others to respond.

I did it folks, I found the pics.
There's about 16 pics from that roll of film.
Check it out at this link they're in color too.
All the 1954 Midshipman cruise pics page 4 and 5.
The first one verifys it.
That's the EXACT criteria I was looking for.
Cherbourge, France during the 1954 Midshipman cruise.
I saw that pic first and I knew I had done it.
I just about died, I finaly did it.
I swear to you guys, I had done so much searching, I must have put 50 miles on my mouse wheel.
The first task was to verify that the info slide numbers were genuine. DID THAT!
The second task was to find those pics. DID THAT TOO!
Now that it's done I feel sad.
It's really true what "they" say about a quest or task. It's not that you complete it that's satifies you, It's the journey.
And now that I've said that there is one last challenge I can do that would really seal this up.
That is to see if I can contact PH3 John W. Grim and ask him if that is indeed his writing on the slide. (I hope he's still alive)
That would be the icing on the cake.
OMG! I really did it.
God Bless Graflex.org and all of it's fine members for their assistance.
Especially Bruce (bruiser), he's been my main man throughout.
Well it's off to my next quest, to find PH3 John W. Grim.
here's the link to the pics.

I came across this pic during one of my searches.
This has to be the biggest hand held camera ever made.
While it's probably not as heavy as it looks, I cant imagine using this thing on a regular basis.
It's slightly off topic, I know, but I just couldn't resist sharing it with everyone.
If anybody has any specifics on this camera please enlighten us.

Well my quest has come to an end.
The photographer, John Grim, died of cancer on October 2, 2007.
I would have loved to have seen the expression on his face when telling him that his camera was looking for him.
I am eternally grateful that he put the pictures up on the internet before he passed. He must have known.
The pics were in his private collection and probably would have got tossed out if he hadn't taken the time to scan them and put them on the internet. The website that they're on is not a US Military website. That's why it took so long to find them. But all in all not that long.
I'm also glad he didn't erase the slide otherwise all this never would have happened. The camera would be just another one of a hundred or so left over from the war years.
I tried doing this search a few years ago but nothing came of it.
It was finding this forum and all the great people in it that was the breakthrough.
Thanks for all your help.
...and God Bless you John Grim, where ever you are.

Hi Mitch,
Sad end but a beautifull story.
You own a real piece of Navy history, I hope webmasters of BB63-related pages will open them to you, the story deserves it.

I totally agree with Georges.
I'm sure those of us who followed your quest feel touched by the ending but at least you've gained the knowledge that led you there.

Knowledge, yeah I learned a lot about searching the internet.
Let me give you a quick example of what I was up against.
The reason I didn't find the website with the pics I was looking for right away was because the name of the website was not what was in the address bar. For example, if you were to look for Graflex.org you would find it right away because the name also appears in the address bar. Look at it right now and see. I know you're thinking "well duh what else would be there?" at which point I laugh and say "hold on, not so fast".
Thinking logicaly while searching for military information can be counter productive as Bruce and I found out early in our posts. The name of the website where the pictures are at is called "USS MISSOURI ASSOCIATION". The address bar says
Why? I don't know or care really but I will cataloque that info in my head for future reference.
The way that I did finally find the website was by looking at the links page on a related website.
I don't want to go on a rant here but I feel I must say a few words about searching for pictures on military websites. I mean government sanctioned websites.
First off remove the logic chip from your brain.
Then know that number schemes have nothing to do with picture subjects, locations or dates, you have to open it to find out what it is.
It's about 50/50 chance that the pictures will have captions or discriptions but again you have to open it to find out.
If photo archives are moved to a different location they are renumber with the numbering scheme in use at the new location with no reference to the previous number scheme.
For these reasons I'm so glad that John Grim kept the photos himself. Then when the time was right or in John's case running out he scanned them, uploaded and labeled them.
Oh wait, that's the logical thing to do.
Oh yeah he was out of the military by then.
Ouch! that hurt my brain, I gotta stop.
Good luck to anybody attempting the same thing. Don't give up and have fun with it. Even if you don't find what you're looking for, YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING.
Remember, It's the journey..............

I was searching for a computer business in New York, actually in Manhattan to purchase a used laptop for one of my freelancers. I did a Google search and found NETtech PC Solutions.
I phoned from Los Angeles and negotiated a price with the owner of the store, Fred. My freelancer needed to replace her existing laptop and Fred told me about an IBM he had available and we agreeded on a price. I sent my freelancer in on her one hour subway trip to see the laptop telling her to look at all the laptops that were available and it turned out that the IBM was the only one NETtech PC Solutions had for sale. My freelancer left her old computer asking Fred if he could transfer her programs. Fred said that there was no way to transfer programs but would transfer her files and that she should come back the next day. I called Fred to tell him that there was a program that would allow transfer of programs called PC Mover by Laplink. I told him I trusted Laplink and had been dealing with them for about 12 years. Fred said he had only been in the computer business for five years. I did not feel very comforted by this as anyone in the computer business should know what is available especially with all the claims NETtech PC Solutions makes on their attractive website. I told Fred I would get him the program and he could transfer the files. Fred said he had already started the file transfer and I said fine, might as well finish it.
Fred called my freelancer the next day as promised and my freelancer again took the one hour trip to NETtech PC Solutions. She verified that the computer worked, that she was able to go on the internet and do emails. The problem came when she was to pay for the IBM computer when Fred asked for nearly an additional hundred dollars. "But that was not told to us and was was never agreed to" she said. She got me on the phone and I spoke to Fred who said that it took hours to transfer the data from her old to her new computer. I said that he "had never told us that there would be an additional charge" and he said, get this, "you never asked." I don't know what that means other than Fred and NETtech PC Solutions feel that it is fine to change an agreement without communication with the other party and to me that is a true 'bait and switch.'
So at the end of the day, no computer was purchased, my freelancer lost hours of her time going back and forth to NETtech PC Solutions, she still does not have a working computer and my time was wasted and I have to start the search all over again. When I do find a reputable computer dealer in New York that we deal with ethically, I will put a link to their article and website here.

Mumbai: It`s been six months since Tiger Shroff`s debut in Sabir Khan`s `Heropanti` was announced. A leading lady has finally been found for Jackie Shroff`s son - she is model-actress Kriti Sanon.
`Heropanti` was all set to take off this month without a leading lady for Tiger. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Sabir Khan had decided to start shooting with Tiger this month without a lady love.
All the reports claiming that Suniel Shetty`s daughter is a prime candidate for the heroine`s position were false. It Kriti who is finalised for the role.
When asked if Kirti is his lady love in `Heropanti`, Tiger happily responded: "It looks like it."
Tiger`s role is reportedly akin to the toughie that his father played in Subhash Ghai`s `Hero`. But far more action-oriented.
Nadiadwala, we hear, has ordered a rigorous regime for the boy so that he looks like a "non-gym going ruffian from a mofussil town in Uttar Pradesh".
The idea behind training is to lose the city-bred gym-going look. And now that Tiger is ready with the look, the shooting of the action scenes will start.
Tiger confirms he has been training hard for his part.
"I`ve been training like crazy. Every morning there`s gymnastics and dance rehearsals. In the night, I run and I practice martial arts. It`s a very focused regime that doesn`t leave me much time to for a social life. That makes me a kind of not-so-cool guy," he said.
He admits the training for the film leaves him no time to get a love life. "The closest I`ll get to a girlfriend is the one I`ll have in my film."
"I`ve been happy since Sajid Sir (Nadiadwala) signed me in June. Other than being one of the biggest producers in town, he`s one of the most decent people in the industry. He`s giving me a dream launch," he added.

Betancourt hits 8th HR, Brewers beat Rangers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Yuniesky Betancourt's eighth homer of the season capped a five-run first inning Tuesday night and the Brewers snapped a season-high five-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers.
Aramis Ramirez also homered for the first time this year and NL batting leader Carlos Gomez added a two-run double for Milwaukee, which rebounded from a four-game sweep by visiting St. Louis last weekend.
"After a rough five games, it was a good start," said Gomez, who is hitting .449 during his career-best 13-game hitting streak. "It brought the energy back to the team."
Wily Peralta (3-2) gave up three runs — two earned — and five hits in six innings. The right-hander, who turns 24 on Wednesday, struck out two and did not walk a batter.
"Great sinker, great fastball," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "Had a good change-up and got some outs on it. His slider was a little inconsistent but this was a great game for him. This is a good lineup to go through and I really thought he made some great pitches when he needed to."
Three relievers followed with an inning each for the Brewers, including Jim Henderson in the ninth for his seventh save.
Mitch Moreland homered for the Rangers, who lost consecutive games for the third time this year. They also lost their season-high fourth straight on the road.
Justin Grimm (2-2) gave up five earned runs on eight hits in five innings after entering the game with a total of six earned runs allowed this year. The right-hander struck out seven and walked three.
"(The first inning) was long. Too long," Grimm said. "Balls were finding grass and not gloves. I made a couple of good pitches and I made a couple of bad ones. It was a little frustrating. It was just that one inning there."
After back-to-back singles by Norichika Aoki and Jean Segura in the first, Ryan Braun drove in Milwaukee's first run with a single over the head of Nelson Cruz in right field.
"Cruz thought he was closer to the wall," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "He jumped a little too soon and didn't come up with the ball."
But because Segura thought Cruz was going to catch the ball near the warning track, he was headed back to first when he saw Braun rounding the base for what turned out to be a long single.
Segura's mistake did not cost his team, however.
One by leftfielder David Murphy later in the inning did.
With two outs, Gomez blooped a two-run double to left-center. Murphy got a bad break on the fly ball hit to his left, and then it bounced passed him as he ran toward it.
"I lost it," Murphy said. "I don't know exactly what I lost it in. I tried to change direction just because I was unsure where the ball was. I slipped. I picked it up again. I went after it, and then I lost it again in the window or whatever that is up above the seats (behind home plate). It was an unfortunate play."
Betancourt followed with his two-run homer, also to left-center, to give Milwaukee a 5-0 lead.
"We really shouldn't have been in that (5-0) hole," Washington said.
Betancourt leads the Brewers with eight homers after hitting seven last season.
"Yuni, if he keeps driving the ball, it's impressive but he's squaring up a lot of baseballs," Roenicke said. "He's seeing the ball."
Texas got its first run in the second when Moreland hit his fifth homer, a solo shot to left-center. It was the only hit for the Rangers in the first four innings.
In the sixth, Texas added two more runs. Adrian Beltre hit a grounder to Ramirez at third that bounced off his glove and allowed Jeff Baker to score from third. Cruz's sacrifice fly scored Elvis Andrus and cut Milwaukee's lead to 5-3.
Ramirez made it 6-3 with his homer to left off reliever Jason Frasor.
Milwaukee's Tom Gorzelanny pitched the seventh and Brandon Kintzler the eighth.
NOTES: Milwaukee is 10-3 when scoring first. … Braun extended his interleague hitting streak to 29 straight games dating back to June 17, 2011 at Boston. . The last time these teams met was June 13, 2010, at Miller Park. … Grimm has 16 strikeouts in his last two games — both losses. … This is the sixth time and first since 2006 that Texas played a different opponent on three consecutive days. The Rangers hosted Boston on Sunday and played the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday.

Bill Introduced In Pennsylvania To Ban All Portable Gadgets In School
from the seems-a-bit-extreme,-right? dept
The possession by students of telephone paging devices, commonly referred to as beepers, cellular telephones and portable electronic devices that record or play audio or video material shall be prohibited on school grounds, at school sponsored activities and on buses or other vehicles provided by the school district.Callahan points out how ridiculous this is, referring to it as the Luddite Bill (though, in fairness, it would just be one of many such bills). He notes that his school does already have a ban on phones (which he's helped enforce), but notes that there should be flexibility -- especially for the school to decide. He also notes that mobile devices may present a great learning opportunity for smart teachers who learn to make use of them:
A few years ago, I wouldn't have thought this a big deal, but to take away the option of teachers allowing cell phone use in their classrooms to me now seems ludicrous. Right now we stand on the brink of a major shift in computing resources available to students in their pockets, with phones as powerful as a computer from only a few years ago.... Honestly, if you think we really want you to take away more teaching options from us, you're sorely mistaken.And this isn't far out thinking either. The NY Times this weekend ran an article about the idea of smart phones as teaching tools, creating the ability to bring impressive computing power into the classroom at a much lower price point. But, apparently, some politicians in Pennsylvania would rather keep such things out of the classroom entirely.

COLUMBIA -- As the the S.C. General Assembly starts its fourth week of the 2012 session, a Senate committee is scheduled to consider bumping South Carolina's green building standards forward into the year... 2009.
The bill, S. 1110, which is coming before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, would move the state's energy standard from the 2006 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code to the 2009 edition.
"All new and renovated buildings and additions constructed within the state must comply with this standard," states the bi-partisan legislation.
South Carolina, where 46 percent of homes were built before 1980, currently follows standards of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. The code is recognized in federal law, green building standards and most states. South Carolina has lagged other states, including Georgia, on cleaner standards.
The Energy Advisory Council, an arm of the Public Utilities Review Committee, made up of business, energy and social policy experts, has been collecting testimony and debating the effects of an updated standard for months. In September, they group heard from the Home Builders Association of S.C., which has been the most forceful opponent of the higher standards.
The association argues that requiring higher efficiency standards will create greater upfront expenses and price new homes out of reach for lower-income home buyers.
But energy-efficiency advocates, including Asheville, N.C.-based MC2 Mathis Consulting Co. and Charleston-based Dennis Knight, of Whole Building Systems, say the state should shoot for the 2012 standards of the International Energy Conservation Code.
Meanwhile, on the House side, the Judiciary Committee will consider a crackdown on people who are involved in cockfighting, which is already illegal. The bill, H. 3564, would change cockfighting from a misdemeanor to a felony and ramp up the jail time from a maximum of one year to a maximum of five years.
The bill would also strengthen the law so that instead of snaring only those who engage in or attend a cock fight or illegal game fowl testing, it would also punish anyone who possess a bird for the purpose of making it fight.

For those who like outrageous costumes, endless drama and hilarious — albeit at times salty — language, "RuPaul's Drag Race" just might be the most entertaining 90 minutes on television.
The show, hosted by award-winning actor-singer and famed drag queen RuPaul, is in its sixth season on cable's Logo TV. This season, 14 drag queens from across the country traveled to Los Angeles to compete for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar," plus cosmetics from Colorevolution and $100,000 in cash.
Four of the contestants are from Southern California — Azusa's Danny "Adore Delano" Noriega, 24; West Hollywood's Shane "Courtney Act" Jenek, 32; 24-year-old Van Nuys resident Jay "Laganja Estranja" Jackson; and 37-year-old Kelly Mantle of Los Angeles, who was the first eliminated.
For reality television secrecy is a key component, so it was a surprise when Laganja Estranja, winner of the season's first mini challenge, showed up to find good friend Adore Delano is also a contestant.
"Being on the show with a good friend has had its ups and downs," said Laganja Estranja, who holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in dance and choreography from the California Institute of the Arts. "I was happy to see Adore was there, but there's a lot of tension when we're competing against each other. It's a catch-22."
Competitive challenges include photo shoots, runway fashion shows, lip-synching and acting — all of which are judged by L.A. fashion designer Santino Rice and pop singer Michelle Visage, as well as guest judges Paula Abdul, Linda Blair, Neil Patrick Harris, Khloe Kardashian and Adam Lambert.
Adore Delano won the mini challenge on March 10 and was rewarded by becoming one of two team captains for the episode's elimination round, in which two teams were required to act out a scene from the horror spoof "Drag Race Me to Hell" and give their best "queen scream."
Being on the show has bolstered Adore Delano's and Laganja Estranja's careers. Both are constantly traveling and performing; Laganja Estranja performs with Barbie's Addiction at Micky's in West Hollywood every Thursday night and Adore Delano performs at Shark Club in Costa Mesa.
Before Laganja Estranja was cast for "Drag Race," it was difficult for her to find work in the theater arts.
"Six months after graduation I still couldn't find a job," said Laganja Estranja, who hopes one day to be the choreographer for her own theater company. "I put on a dress and all of a sudden I started getting booked everywhere. Doing drag is not where I saw myself, but I take life as it comes. I always say that I didn't choose drag; it was more like drag chose me."
Sashaying down that path led Laganja Estranja to "Drag Race," and an experience she'd never forget.
"It was the craziest thing I've done so far," she said. "Most of the time it was 14-hour days with seven or eight of those hours in drag. It was insane. I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought it was going to be rainbows and unicorns, but it was cutthroat. I mean, put your seat belt on."
Adore Delano might have been a bit more prepared for the whirlwind experience. As 17-year-old Danny Noriega, Adore appeared on Season 7 of "American Idol."
"I grew up singing and I love it," said Adore Delano. "I used to compete in and win singing competitions — and they didn't even know I was a boy."
The outspoken performer likes buying clothes and accessories at thrift stores for the costumes she dons in competitions.
"I like wearing other people's stories," said Adore Delano, who came out as a teenager and started dressing as a girl at 14.
Adore Delano's ultimate goal is to bring drag into the mainstream.
"I am a serious artist," she said. "I pay my mortgage, bought a car, pay all my bills, all from this. At the end of the day I just want everybody to know — gay couples, straight couples — we are all human beings. We are all working to make things better for ourselves. We are not freaks."
"RuPaul's Drag Race" airs at 9 p.m. Mondays. There are 11 remaining contestants — three from Southern California — with the next elimination set for Monday.

Jan. 16, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT men's lightweight crew traveled to Cocoa Beach, Fla., for its annual winter training camp from December 29 to January 7. The Indian River provides miles of great water and few distractions. Rowing twice a day, the varsity and freshman squads got to apply the winter's strength and conditioning gains to boats, as well as consolidate technical changes they'd been working on in the indoor tanks. Both teams also enjoyed doing pieces with the MIT heavyweights.
In addition to training, this year's highlights included evening barbecues at the hotel; `touch' football on the beach; a Winter Park feast hosted by a team member's parents; and the annual skit night.
The squads have returned to Pierce Boathouse to resume indoor training during the Independent Activities Period.
MIT opens the 2009 season with the 30th running of the Joy Cup versus Yale and Georgetown, on April 4th in Derby, Conn.

Dead Harbor Porpoise Washes Up In Margate
Authorities are trying to determine what caused the death of a harbor porpoise that washed up on a South Jersey beach this weekend.
Robert Schoelkopf, director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, tells The Press of Atlantic City that the porpoise found Saturday in Margate likely died after becoming tangled in fishing net. But he said a necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
Schoelkopf also noted that numerous grey seals were spotted on Jersey Shore beaches over the weekend.
He says none of the seals that arrived in Atlantic City, Avalon, Long Beach Island and Ventnor were in distress. But they did attract large crowds of onlookers, which meant the stranding center had a busy day relocating the seals to uninhabited areas.

Basic Collections
Often we find that, rather than a single value, we must keep track of several. We could create a variable for each value we want to keep track of, but this leads to an impossible solution very quickly. So what do we use?
Collections, of course. Collections can contain an arbitrary number of values in a single container.
Why is this important to learn about?
Because rarely do we ever work with single instances of objects, in programming or life itself. It's very important to learn how to group data together in a proper collection so that it can be processed as a group.
Definitions of terms used.
Collection: a programming construct that can contain an arbitrary number of other constructs.
Arrays: http://msdn.microsof...y/9b9dty7d.aspx
Lists: http://msdn.microsof...y/6sh2ey19.aspx
Queues: http://msdn.microsof...y/7977ey2c.aspx
Stacks: http://msdn.microsof...y/3278tedw.aspx
FIFO: First In, First Out
LIFO: Last In, First Out
Note: All examples were created using Visual Studio 2010, targetting the .NET Framework 4.0. We'll do our best to point out anything that might not work in older versions.
Basic Collections
We'll start with the simplest, and most basic of collections: the Array. Here's the basic structure of an array declaration:
Type[] variableName = new Type[capacity];
Here's a few more concrete examples:
int[] a = new int[10]; string[] b = new string[5];
The array named a, can hold 10 integer values. The array named b can hold 5 strings. Note that arrays are type-safe; you can't store strings in an int[], or vice-versa.
Now, when we initialize an array, it's important to understand that we haven't initialized the values of the array. a holds 10 integers, but they've all been set to int's default value (0). b holds 5 strings, but they're all null, since that's the default value for strings, as well as all other reference types.
You can access each individual value contained in an array using it's index.
important note: arrays and other collections in C# are zero-based, meaning that the first value is always at index 0, not 1.
int[] a = new int[10]; a[0] = 1; a[1] = 5 + 3; a[2] = 50; a[3] = a[0];
In the previous example, I assigned a value to the first four values in the array. Reminder, arrays are zero-based.
Sometimes we want to cycle through all an array's values. For this, we can use loops. Check the tutorial written by [email protected] called Control Structures for more information about using loops.
There's also a shortcut method to initialize arrays:
string[] names = { "Curtis", "Clint", "Jason" };
The compiler can inferr from the statement on the right that we want to create a string[3]. This is a shortcut, short for this:
string[] names = new string[3]; string[0] = "Curtis"; string[1] = "Clint"; string[2] = "Jason";
Now, what happens if we try to access a value outside of an array's bounds, either below 0 or above the largest index? We get an exception, of course. The following:
string[] names = { "Curtis", "Clint", "Jason" }; names[3] = "Bob";
Produces this exception:
So this means that our arrays have explicit bounds, and we cannot move outside them. What do we do when we need a more dynamic container, for when we don't know how many items we're going to add?
We use Lists, of course. Lists are similar to arrays, except that they allow for dynamic sizing. When you create a list, you don't provide a size:
List<string> names = new List<string>();
This creates an empty list. Now, we can add to it:
List<string> names = new List<string> names.Add("Curtis"); names.Add("Clint"); names.Add("Jason");
Note we can also initialize Lists similar to arrays. The difference is that we have to specify that we're using a list:
List<string> names = new List<string> { "Curtis", "Clint", "Jason" };
We can add as few or as many values as we want. Like arrays, Lists are also type-safe. There is a construct called ArrayList that does not have a type parameter, so you can store any type of object in it. This is dangerous, and I suggest you not use it. It's a holdover from .NET 1.1, when C# didn't have Generics (read the link for more info on generics).
We can add many values at once using AddRange:
List<string> names = new List<string> { "Curtis", "Clint", "Jason" }; List<string> otherNames = new List<string> { "Tom", "Dick", "Harry" }; names.AddRange(otherNames);
Now names contains the names from both lists. AddRange will work with any collection that implements the IEnumerable interface, which is most of them.
We can also force a value to occupy a particular spot using Insert:
names.Insert(0, "Adam");
Instead of simply adding "Adam" to the end, this code puts "Adam" at index 0 (the very beginning, since Lists are also zero-based), and pushes all other names one index up.
There's also an InsertRange method. InsertRange is to Insert as AddRange is to Add.
Now, we may want to remove a particular name:
The List no longer has my name. Note that you will not get an Exception if you try to remove a value that does not exist.
There is also a way to remove whatever element resides in a specific index: RemoveAt:
That will remove the name at the beginning of the list.
There is a third method for removal, RemoveRange. This works slightly differently than the other Range methods. With this, you provide a start index, and a count. It will start at that index and remove that many items from the List.
Note that when you delete from a list, the list collapses down. It does not leave empty spaces. So if I have a list with three values, and delete the middle one, the list collapses down to two values, not three with one empty.
Note that we can also access a list through it's indexer, just like an array.
names[0] = "Bob";
Now, the name that used to be "Curtis" is "Bob". Of course, this leads us to the question again, "what happens if I access an element outside the existing bounds?" Well, you get the same exception.
A List won't resize itself when you try to use an index that doesn't exist. It will only expand when you use Add, AddRange, Insert, or InsertRange. And it will only shrink when you use one of the Remove methods.
Now, there are two specialized collections related to a List. They both grow dynamically, but have a few special properties. First:
If you're American, you may not have heard this word much. It's far more commonly used in the UK. You can think of a Queue as a line of people at a restaurant. When a person gets in line, he gets in a the rear. When the next table is ready, the person at the front of the line gets it, and leaves the line. Everyone else moves up.
The Queue collection is much the same. When you add items (called "Enqueueing"), they are added at the end, and when you remove them (called "Dequeueing"), you remove them from the front. This is a principle known as FIFO (or First In, First Out).
Here's a declaration of a Queue of strings, as well as queueing a few into it.
Queue<string> queue = new Queue<string>(); queue.Enqueue("Curtis"); queue.Enqueue("Clint"); queue.Enqueue("Jason");
Now the queue contains "Curtis", "Clint", and "Jason". So far, very similar to a List. Let's take something out of the queue:
string next = queue.Dequeue();
Now the varible next contains "Curtis", and queue contains "Clint" and "Jason".
Ok, what if I want to see who's next, but I don't want to call them out of line yet? There's a method for that: Peek:
string waiting = queue.Peek();
Now, the variable waiting contains "Clint", and queue still contains "Clint" and "Jason".
That's all there is to queues. They're quite useful when you need to process a batch of things in a specific order, especially when you're actively adding to the queue as well.
Next, the logical opposite of a queue:
Stacks are like queues, but opposite. Where queues are FIFO, Stacks are LIFO (or Last In, First Out). To visualize this, imagine a tray for papers on your desk. When you add a paper to the tray, you add it on the top of the Stack. When you reach in for a paper, you pull the top one off, which was the last one added to the tray (LIFO!).
Thus, the first element added to the stack is the last one removed, and the most recent one is the first removed.
The methods are different than for a queue. Instead of Enqueue, it's called Push:
Stack<string> stack = new Stack<string>(); stack.Push("Curtis"); stack.Push("Clint"); stack.Push("Jason");
"Jason" is at the top of the stack, followed by "Clint", followed by "Curtis".
Removing from the stack is called Pop:
string top = stack.Pop();
Now, top contains "Jason", while stack still contains "Clint" and "Curtis".
Peek works similarly to the way it does for a queue: it returns the top value without removing it from the stack.
Stacks are useful for mathematic operations (I did a RPN Calculator tutorial a while back). It's also important to at least understand the concept of stacks if you're going to use recursion, or debug a program (stack trace).
In Conclusion
There are many, many more collections that you can use in the .NET Framework; these are a list of common collections that will be easy and useful for a beginner. I want to leave you with a reminder that all collections in C# are zero-based, so if you ever find yourself out of bounds, make sure you didn't start at 1.

A new study flips on its head how we look at obesity health risks: rather than focusing on sedentary lifestyles, the study looks at low-wage workers toiling in heavy labor and how their work conditions contribute to weight gain and obesity.
University of Massachusetts Lowell researchers, in partnership with Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH), and the Boston Workers Alliance, released findings from the study, "Obesity/Overweight and the Role of Working Conditions," at a forum of obesity program specialists in November 2012.
It is widely recognized that overweight and obesity disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. However, most studies examine office work and other seated jobs where weight reduction suggestions such as taking the stairs and walking to work might apply. These researchers found that housekeepers, janitors and other blue-collar workers who rarely sit during the day have neither the time nor the energy to benefit from these traditional recommendations.
"It first dawned on us that this issue of low-wage workers and weight needed to be looked at when we were approached by a hotel housekeeper," says Mirna Montano, a trainer at MassCOSH, a workplace safety organization and study co-author. "Like many of her coworkers, Maria's arms, legs and shoulders ached from cleaning 30 rooms in an eight-hour shift. Yet despite laboring on her feet all day, Maria complained that her weight had ballooned as her workload increased."
Realizing that the issues facing Maria and other low-wage workers were not being discussed by policymakers or by the public, MassCOSH, UMass Lowell's Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH NEW), an academic research center focused on occupational safety and wellness, and Boston Workers' Alliance, an African-American-based community group, joined forces to investigate further.
Eighty-seven low-wage workers from Boston, Lawrence and Lynn contributed to the study through focus groups, in-depth interviews and stakeholder meetings. Though their occupations differed – from janitorial to human service to construction – their experiences were surprisingly similar. Some of the studies findings include:
"The exhaustion and injuries, time pressure, stress and lack of access to healthy food – sometimes even access to a place to eat – were problems that most of the workers felt had a big impact on their weight," said Suezanne Bruce, chairwoman of the Boston Workers' Alliance Board of Directors and a co-author of the study.
The researchers offer practical suggestions to employers such as allowing sufficient time for breaks and meals, communicating rest and meal break times to reduce anxiety about hunger, providing clean space for eating with functional equipment, and determining physical workloads that avoid excessive fatigue and risk of injury. They also propose that insurance companies consider establishing rate reduction programs for employers that improve work health and safety, including environment conditions that affect obesity.
"This report shows what an important impact the conditions of a person's workplace can have on their health," said Assoc. Prof. Nicole Champagne of the UMass Lowell department of Community Health and Sustainability, who co-authored the study. "When we only look at individual behaviors, such as diet and exercise habits, as a way to improve health, we are missing a big piece of the puzzle."

Jay M. Horne, an author turned publisher, sprang up among the roots of a literary family tree. His grandparents were both English teachers, his aunt a grade-school principal, his late uncle a poet, his mother and sister artists and he, a life-long lover of martial arts, especially the style of Tesaihiryu Ninjutsu, which he created and coined their motto 'The Perfection of Life'.
He was raised as a middle child. His older brother, Justin and younger sister, Jillian shared his childhood.
Jay's writing career began in 2010 with his release of 'Life's A Joke!', at the age of 30. It is a title that he currently is slightly ashamed to claim as his own, but regardless continues to be the top seller in his library. To begin with, writing was therapy, but since has become a passion of his. Reading, editing, publishing, cover design, everything about books captures him.
At the age of ten, Jay had begun writing and designing on computers. Many old childhood books he created are published now, after years of sitting in a file cabinet of his father's.
Currently, Jay lives in New Port Richey, Florida with his wife and three children and continues to work on the PANGEA Chronicles.
Jay works in Pinellas County at Sunstar Paramedics as an EMT and volunteers at the Port Richey Fire Department.
PANGEA is Jay's 'Magnum Opus'. Currently, book two is available worldwide and he works daily on the writing of the prequel 'The Fae'. The story begins before time itself and follows the first beings of the Universe to the physical realm where they will undergo the challenge of defining what it means to be Human.

Coarse grain trade hit record levels with 2007/08 numbers increasing by more than 4 million metric tons this month to a record 115 million, according to USDA. The department reported that global demand for feed grains has been outstripping production and U.S. corn exports have filled the bulk of this additional demand. Specifically, corn trade increased by 3.7 million tons to a record 90 million tons (3.5 billion bushels). However, President and CEO of the U.S. Grains Council Ken Hobbie said corn producers are not the only beneficiaries in the current export scenario.
"As a result of other countries, specifically the Ukraine, having a poor barley crop this year due to natural calamities, customers are relying on U.S. farmers to fulfill demand," said Hobbie. "Tightening foreign supplies and increasing prices have boosted U.S. barley export sales to triple last year's level."
In the past month world barley prices have jumped $80 per ton, which is a 25 percent increase, to a record $350 per ton. The Ukraine previously accounted for 16 percent of world exports, but due to the poor crop this year export restrictions were imposed to ensure that there are sufficient domestic supplies to soften internal prices. In addition, Australia, which normally supplies one-third of world exports, is facing lower crop prospects and depleted old crop exportable supplies, according to USDA statistics.
Hobbie said council programs taking place across the globe helped educate feed mills and other importers of the benefits of U.S. barley as a feed alternative. For example, the council currently has feeding trials and other programs to encourage the use of barley in the livestock sector in Mexico, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. Hobbie said the council is planning to conduct feeding trials in Mexico using barley and distiller's dried grains. In December trials will be conducted in Vietnam's aquaculture sector using barley as the feed ingredient.
Free trade agreements currently up for review by Congress will create additional opportunities for U.S. barley producers, according to Kevin Natz, USGC director of trade policy.
"Congress granting final approval of free trade pacts with Peru, Panama, Colombia and South Korea will give us an opportunity to heighten demand and broaden access for feed barley," he said.

Well my dear readers, we have survived a year of President Barack Obama. There were bad times and there were …bad times. Still, we have made it. Things are looking up for conservatives actually.
I believe and tonight's State of the Union speech will set the tone for Democrats and Republicans alike.
A year ago, the election of Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate as Ted Kennedy's successor would have seemed unimaginable. The liberals seemed poised to take over the political throne and dominate for at least eight years. With, Democratic control of the both the house and senate, the Republicans were written off as the dead "party of NO". Beaten down by the party of "yes we can".
I could see why voters would think that we were gone. We looked pretty insignificant. Sarah Palin was sent packing back to Alaska with a complimetary world globe and a pre paid postage box from the RNC for those clothes. Meanwhile Michelle Obama sported her $500 Lanvin tennis shoes. Nope, no hypocrisy there.
Our president wined and dined on Kobe steaks and BoBo got organic puppy chow as unemployment rates sky rocketed well beyond the 8% he promised us.
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, underwear bombers, Fort Hood, and Gitmo detainees all filled the holiday stockings of racists behaving stupidly.
Now fast-forward to 2010 and it appears that the Greek temples of yes we can year, are somewhere off in the distance along with everything Barack Obama promised.
Republicans gave Democrats a you-should-have-known-better head shake. They dilemma they face gets little sympathy from me. On one level, what the hell were you guys thinking? On another level…what the hell were you guys thinking?
Obama now acknowledging that he may be in trouble (though he will never admit it), clearly is now reverting to his tofu mode of being whatever the people want him to be. That is what you get when you buy an empty suit. You can fill it with whatever you want. You want a far left ideologue, by golly you got it. You want him to slide to the right, he will do that too.
You want a tough on spending president gosh darn-it Kool Aid drinking kids. BAM! BIFF!!! ZOWIE!!! Your wish is Obama's command. Whatever you wish for children, you can have it all and tonight we will see those Greek temples transform from the far left moonbat cave to spending freeze icicle palace and all

If you're an ecommerce store owner and haven't heard of Facebook Pages for business, you're seriously missing out! Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world and can be a powerful marketing tool for your online store.
The Facebook you use to chat with friends and post pictures from the bar last night is completely different than Facebook for business. The "business" offering is called Facebook Pages, and allows you to interact with your fans, get to know potential customers, and build a community. This is a beginners guide to help Facebook newbies (not to confused with "noobs") get their online store set up with a Facebook page.
Sign UpCreating a Facebook page for your online store is easy. Step one is pretty obvious... go to www.facebook.com!
Once you're at the main screen you'll be asked to either log in or sign up. Be wary of the difference between a personal page and a business page. The business page sign up is located at the bottom of the screen. Now, simply select the appropriate starting point, fill in the information boxes, and get started on your new online store page.
Choose a Category
You'll be presented with a page where you need to classify your business. The screen looks like this:
Most online store owners should choose Brand or Product. I know it may be tempting to choose "local business or place" or even "company," but don't do it unless you have a brick and mortar shop. Brand or Product has the most functionality and will provide you with the most flexibility. Trust me. After that you'll be presented with a large dropdown menu with a whole bunch of categories. Again, you'll have to choose one... find what's most appropriate, type what you want to name your page, and agree to the terms. Now click "Get Started."
Already have a Facebook account? At this point you can simply link your personal account to your new online store's page. If you're not on Facebook yet, you'll have to create a personal account as well. Don't worry, it'll prompt you... just follow the steps.
Setting Up Your Page
Add awesome content. You'll want to immediately upload a display picture (your company logo), add a description, and maybe even some pictures. Spend some time playing around with the interface, and make note of everything you can do. It's easy to get overwhelmed... don't stress, it's okay to take it slow. Build a basic profile and add content gradually.
Maintaining Your Page
1. Posting
Posting on your Facebook page is the primary way to communicate with your fans and customers. Whether its sharing new products, giving cool industry info, showing pictures, or even linking to interesting sites... it's all good. The post you write is displayed on your page wall and can be read by all who visit. As well, people can comment on your post and even give a "thumbs up" of approval, or as they say a "Facebook Like." They may also post on your wall themselves with comments and questions, looking to hear back from you. Always keep in mind: Give people a reason to check your page often! You want rich content, you want to interact with people, and you want to drive word of mouth advertising.
2. Sharing
Now lets say one of your customers writes a really complimentary comment on your wall. Maybe something like: "Hey Shopify, you have the best ecommerce software in the world!" Great comment right? Well, now you can "share" the comment so its one of the first things people see on your page.
3. Newsfeed
Your newsfeed will be the lifeline of your page. All recent and past activity will be monitored and displayed to you. These newsfeed updates will also be seen by your fans and their friends, giving your store some extra attention.
What's Next?
Don't expect to be a Facebook pro right out of the gates. Here are some general best practices include:
- Post updates consistently about whats going on with your store, any new deals, or information. Try to keep your fans and customers updated as much as possible.
- Answer questions posted on your wall.
- Acknowledge compliments and comments with a "thumbs up!" or comment of your own. Visitors will see your activity and the compliments you thumbed up, bringing positive attention to your online store.
- Experiment! Play with other features as you go along. There's tons of tools at your disposal but not all are needed to get started, gradually familiarize yourself with them.
- Focus on your News Feed, not your Wall. While you may stare at your wall all day, only about 10% of your followers will actually visit your Wall in a given week. Most of your fans will see your content in their News Feed, so focus on how each post looks in the feed.
- Sometimes when people post to your Wall, it will get pushed to the "Hidden" section. Keep an eye out and move content over to your wall as appropriate. You can also move unwanted posts from your Wall to the "Hidden" section where you can still respond, but it won't appear for all to see.
Use these easy starter tips to get the ball rolling. It won't be long until you start planning events, posting questions, advertising, promoting, and generating large amounts of traffic to your online store using Facebook.

Brilliant! Thank you, I am a FB novice and still trying to get my head around it all. This step by step guide is one of the best I have come across, very clear. Also, it put me in the right direction as I had been staring at my "wall all day" lol – had a to do a bit of a search to find my newsfeed, oh dear, there's hope for me yet! ;)

I'm not clear whether the lifeline of my FB page depends on my personal FB. Say, recently I deactivated my personal, to have a break. I didn't realize the sign in for pages is down below, so I had to reactivate my personal to get to my FB page. I wonder if it would have worked to use the bottom sign in to get to my page w/o reactivating my personal.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
If someone caught you with the erotic bestseller, Fifty Shades of Grey, you'd probably turn 50 shades of red. (Which is why this book is best read on an electronic device.) But that didn't stop Sara Evans from buying the first book in the uber sexy trilogy before a recent plane ride. "I bought it. I took it on a plane, and my girlfriend was with me," she told E! Online . "I decided to take a little nap, but I had the book on my lap. She stole it and started reading it, and she wouldn't give it back to me because it was so good." Her girlfriend has since loaned the twisted love story to another girlfriend, so Evans says she's just going to have to buy another copy because she can't wait to read it. "I've heard it's great," she said. The book, in case you don't know, is about the dominant/submissive relationship between characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. It's been banned from libraries, made fun of on Saturday Night Live and is reportedly being made into a film. And maybe it could also potentially inspire Evans to write a very steamy country song. She could call it "Laters, Baby."

Coding interviews are a love/hate relationship with most software engineers. There are radical vantage points on what is the right way to interview on incoming software engineer for a specific or general position. These interviews can be high level conceptual conversations, screen-sharing interviews (i.e. Collabedit), white-boarding, paired-coding, or a variety of other styles. There is not a consistent pattern or style of interview among the tech industry. So, what does that mean? It means that engineers and developers DO NOT KNOW how to properly prepare for every single interview. These interviews vary be drastically different in topic and level of difficulty company to company.
Common among clients in the past, these interviews epicenter around writing code on a whiteboard while having the interviewee "think out loud" and explain themselves every step of the way. It's an odd and somewhat dated process, but these interviews aren't structured this way in order to optimize for modern implementation.
Why coding interviews are standard
If you ask an engineer about their experience in a coding interview, every engineer's answer is going to be drastically different depending on their background. It is a very sensitive and controversial topic. You do NOT want me to repeat some of the comments and stories that I've heard over the years (You may end up with bloody ears or sore stomach from laughing). Most engineers believe that technical interviews are not relevant to the actual position, nor do they show the individual's true technical competency.
And these people have a point — these interviews don't represent real work. Developers never really have to write in-depth code on a whiteboard during the day-to-day job. In addition, the majority of topics covered in coding interviews are never seen outside of interviews. How often, for example, will a front-end developer specializing in React have to traverse a B-Tree in a specific, algorithmic way? Never, unless they're doing something deeply wrong.
When a candidate does run into a interview that represents real-world problems that would need to be solved in the day-to-day of the actual position it's MIND-BLOWING. I have had candidates leave an interview with a coding assignment that they were actually excited to complete, because they felt like they would understand the company's problem and add real value.
Even more aggravating? Coding interviews are often entirely unfair. Even the creator of Brew — with tens of millions of installs — was invited to interview at Google and then rejected because he couldn't solve a B-Tree problem.
Software engineers love to trick the interviewees and give extremely challenging questions. If you get the initial problem, it's then common practice for an interviewer to throw a wrench in your solution, make the problem even harder, and create arguably unnecessary stress.
For all their faults, coding interviews prove three things:
How coding interviews vary across companies
How a company interviews people is a direct correlation with the quality of talent they attract. The best companies optimize their recruiting processes to "reduce false positives." A bad hire that made it through the process will hurt the company much more than rejecting a potentially good hire. The best companies tend to have the hardest interviewing process.
Therefore, when you find that a hiring process especially easy, it's likely the company has weaker engineering. This isn't always true, of course, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.
Since it's extraordinarily tough to guess which topics will be covered in an interview, the keenest strategy to prepare is to literally prepare for everything. That is… if you really want a great job. Otherwise, ask the recruiters or hiring managers for something to study/prepare prior to the interview. If you need time to prepare, be direct and honest.
Preparation is everything! But how?
It takes time to be proficient at interviews. They are a completely new muscle in your body that needs exercise and need training. If you don't continuously touch base with fundamental, you'll eventually be the fat cat that can't waddle its way to the bathroom anymore. You don't want that! Don't piss on yourself when you go to interview! When people begin the process of preparation, it feels like you're running a mile again after 5 years of zero cardio.
You have to have faith in research, studying, and practice. Run some practice laps once in a while.
If you want to work at a top tech firm, like Google or Facebook, we recommend you practice for:
For more mid-range companies, like Series A/B startups, you can usually get away with less preparation:
Yes, it is a lot of time, and you may be thinking "do I really need to prepare that much?"
And our answer is to look back up at that 10% number. You need to prepare this much if you actually want job offers. Even with this preparation, you should still expect to fail half of your interviews (Sorry, but not sorry if you didn't prepare).
Some of the common topics:
Expect questions relating to your experience as well: technologies, languages, frameworks, etc. SQL challenges and questions are very common.
Methods to prepare
Some online training systems are fantastic. There are both paid and free trainings on the internet.
Some of these sites include:
As you complete each topic, realize that you'll want to re-visit it 2–3 times every week subsequently to keep it fresh in your mind! These things are easy to forget, and when you get a problem in an interview, you want the type of problem to be instantly recognizable.
As you train more and more, you will develop a level of intuition around new problems. The hardest part is getting started with preparation, so push through the difficulty!
How to know when you're ready
You can't know for sure. Even the most prepared people can freeze up and fail interviews, so at some point you have to call it a day and jump into the deep end.
Still… when do you jump?
If you can get a mock interview from someone at a top company, even if you have to pay for it, it's worth it. They'll both have a high bar and be able to give you specific feedback (as long as you're outside of their company's interview process). Maybe you have a buddy that will help you out!
Finally, it's worth stating that you can also treat your first interviews as initial groundwork. Simply apply to companies you're less interested in, and use the interviews as practice (I am sure some of the hiring managers reading this article are giving me the finger right now). People will often take interviews they don't actually care about in order to get live practice in front of companies.
Happy Hunting and good luck!

They depend on it to practice 'flood retreat cultivation' using the rich silt left along the river banks by the slowly receding waters.
They also practice rainfed, shifting cultivation growing sorghum, maize and beans on the flood plains. Some tribes, particularly the Kwegu, hunt game and fish.
Cattle, goats and sheep are vital to most tribes' livelihood producing blood, milk, meat and hides. Cattle are highly valued and used in payment for bride wealth.
They are an important defence against starvation when rains and crops fail. In certain seasons families travel to temporary camps to provide new grazing for herds, surviving on milk and blood from their cattle. The Bodi sing poems to favourite cattle.
Other peoples, such as the Hamar, Chai, or Suri and Turkana, live further from the river but a network of inter-ethnic alliances means that they too can access the flood plains, especially in times of scarcity.
Despite this co-operation there are periodic conflicts as people compete for natural resources. As the government has taken over more and more tribal land, competition for scarce resources has intensified. The introduction of firearms has made inter-ethnic fighting more dangerous.
For years the tribes of the Lower Omo Valley have suffered from the progressive loss of access to and control of their lands. Two national parks were set up in the 1960s and 1970s where

In the 1980s, part of their territory was turned into a state-run irrigated farm and recently the government has begun leasing out huge tracts of tribal land to foreign companies and governments so that they grow cash crops including biofuels .
The tribal peoples who have been using the land for generations to grow their own subsistence crops and to graze their livestock, have had no say in the matter.
Although the Ethiopian Constitution guarantees tribal peoples the right to 'full consultation' and to 'the expression of views in the planning and implementations of environmental policies and projects that affect them directly', in practice consultation is rarely carried out fully and appropriately.
The Lower Omo Valley peoples make all public decisions after extensive community meetings among all adults. Very few speak Amharic, the national language, and literacy levels are the lowest in the country which means they have little access to information about developments which affect them.
A USAID official who visited the Lower Omo in January 2009 to assess the impacts of the Gibe III dam reported that the indigenous communities knew either nothing or virtually nothing about the project.

Hugh Jackman to Do Oscars Drunk and Nude
Today 3:00 PM PST by JEFFERSON REID
Sunday night's Oscars host, Hugh Jackman, is sure to shake things up. For one thing, he's not a professional comedian like most previous hosts. For another, he tells CNN that he plans to do the entire show naked and inebriated.
It turns out the Sexiest Man Alive may also be one of the sassiest:
"One of my favorite moments at the Oscars was when the streaker came across [past] David Niven. And we're upping it a level and we're just going to do most of the show naked. Um, well, there hopefully will be YouTube moments….Drunk and nude, yes. So that's our new fresh approach. It's the Australian way."
Not content to merely needle his countrymen's legendary drinking prowess, the former Tony Awards host also jokes in the CNN interview about the significance of his previous podium experience:
"The Tony Awards is watched by more people in the theater than at home on television. So, the Oscars, it's slightly different, there's about a thousand here [in the theater] and a billion out there."
While Jackman is clearly finding his own low-key groove as a TV comedian, his son Oscar is apparently eyeing a career in journalism, as the lad suggested a headline to his dad for the big night: "Oscar's dad hosts the Oscars."
Wordplay and self-promotion? The kid's a natural…just like his dad.

|Trap Farm overgrown , c.1998
My Danson family came from a rural part of Lancahsire in north west England, so occupations on the land were the norm - whether it be Ag. Lab, husbandman, carter, or cowman, with two generations reaching the status heights of being described as yeoman farmers. It was all change in the 1860's when my great great grandfather Henry Danson of Trap Farm, Carleton left farming and became a toll collector at the newly built Shard Bridge over the River Wyre, near Fleetwood.
|Great Uncle George at his station bookstall
New occupations appeared in the census entries for the family - pointsman, railway telegraph clerk, railway porter, railway coach examiner, and railway labourer, with a related trade that of my great uncle George who worked at W. H Smith's newsagent stall on station platforms.
Trades in the family included coal merchant, rope dealer, and even tripe dealer, with Danson daughters marrying a shoemaker, joiner, innkeeper, and watchmaker.
The women were undertaking roles as laundress, and much more appealing - a confectioner's shop woman, and keeper of a sweet shop.
Elsie Oldham in the 1920's opened her own home-based business as a hairdresser, styling herself as "Elise". See the posting "Bobbing, Shingling and Marcel Waves"
In the early 20th century, three of my great grandparents large family, Harry, Robert and Jennie all worked for the post office.

NORMAN, Okla. – After two days of action at the 2013 Big 12 Tennis Championships, the semifinal matchups have been set at the Headington Family Tennis Center. On the women's side, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech advanced, while third-seeded Texas and fourth-seeded TCU both won first-round men's matches to join the top two seeds (No. 1 Baylor and No. 2 Oklahoma) in the semifinal round.
Both men's semifinal matches will begin at Noon CT, while the women's action is slated to start at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Due to the looming threat of inclement weather, all matches began with singles play Friday.
In women's action, top-seeded and 19th-ranked Baylor swept Kansas, 4-0. BU's Jordaan Sanford made quick work of Maria Jose Cardona to take the first point at No. 2 singles, 6-0, 6-1. The Lady Bears claimed straght-set victories at the fifth and sixth positions before Kiah Generette secured BU's win with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over KU's Paulina Los at No. 3. Baylor (16-13) moves on to face No. 5 Oklahoma State Saturday at 3 p.m. while KU dropped to 11-10 on the season.
OSU (14-7) advanced to the semifinals with its 4-2 win over No. 4 TCU (17-6). The two squads were deadlocked 2-2 with singles matches at the second and fifth spots still playing. After losing the first set, Cowgirl Meghan Blevins took down TCU's Olivia Smith 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Then OSU's Maria Alvarex clinched the match for the Cowgirls with a tight win over Federica Denti of TCU, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1, 6-3.
No. 3 Texas edged out home team and No. 6 Oklahoma, 4-1. UT took the first two singles points at the sixth and second positions before OU's Emma Devine was able to pull one back for her team at the No. 6 spot. The match was clinched at No. 3 in three sets as UT's Elizabeth Begley rallied to take down Mia Lancaster of Oklahoma, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. The Longhorns (15-10) move on to face Texas Tech while the Sooners fell to 13-9 on the year.
It took doubles play for No. 2 Texas Tech (19-5) to claim a 4-3 win over No. 7 Kansas State. With the Lady Raiders up 3-2 in singles, K-State's Karla Bonacic battled back in the third set to take a 6-1, 7-5, 6-3 win over Tech's Rashmi Teltumbde at No. 2 singles to force doubles play. An 8-1 win at No. 2 and an 8-2 victory at No. 3 clinched the doubles point and the match for the Lady Raiders. The Wildcats dropped to 10-11 on the year.
In the first men's match of the championship, No. 4 TCU and No. 5 Texas Tech took it to three-set battles on four singles courts before TCU took the match, 4-2. The Horned Frogs won the first two points at the second and third positions before Vitor Manzini notched one back for Tech with a 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 1. After trading points at positions No. 4 and 6, TCU's Rodolfo Bustamante was able to keep Texas Tech from forcing the doubles competition by clinching the team decision with a three-set victory at No. 5 singles over Francisco Zambon, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. The Horned Frogs (18-8) move on to face top-seeded Baylor (19-4) Saturday at Noon, while Tech fell to 15-11.
The final men's match of the day saw third-seeded Texas sweep No. 6 Oklahoma State, 4-0. The Longhorns got straight-set wins at the first, third and fourth spots before UT's Lloyd Glasspool clinched the win with a win at No. 2 singles over OSU's Chris Haworth, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4. UT (16-7) face second-seeded Oklahoma Saturday at Noon, and the Cowboys finish the season at 12-14.
Single-session tickets are still available at $5 for adults and $4 for youth and seniors.

There is no precedent for placing caches. This means that the past listing of a similar cache in and of itself is not a valid justification for the listing of a new cache.
Other reviewers cited examples of geocachers who tried to unscrew caps from hydrants in their zeal to find a hidden cache. And it is, of course, illegal to tamper with fire hydrants, just as it is to tamper with U.S. Postal Service mail boxes.
