NCAA Div. I National Championship Schedule
Women's Declared List for National Championships
Women's National Championship Start Lists
Sacramento will heat up next week as the nation's best compete at Hornet Stadium on the campus of Cal State Sacramento for the NCAA Div. I National Track & Field Championships. Beginning Wednesday, June 7th and ending on Saturday, June 10th, four days of speed, power and endurance will be showcased as the student-athletes vie for the coveted All-American awards.
The Gauchos will be sending a record three women distance runners competing in three different events. Megan Lewis (Jr.) in the 5,000m, Bethany Nickless (So.) in the 3,000m Steeplechase and Stephanie Rothstein (Jr.) in the 10,000m will all be making their first Nationals appearance.
Beginning with Rothstein, the red-shirt junior obliterated the Big West Conference and UCSB 10,000m records back on March 31st at the Stanford Invitational. Her 33:27.85, placed her on the national scene ranked 10th in the NCAA and 10th American at the time. The marked qualified Rothstein automatically for NCAA's as well as the USA Championships near the end of June. She is still currently ranked as the 14th American for 2006 at the distance and just inside the top 100 worldwide at 94th; Rothstein will enter the NCAA 10k final ranked 10th.
Since that race however, her road to the Championships has not been easy. Low iron levels kept her from racing her best in the middle of the season, but she began to come around at the Conference Championships where she won both the 10,000m and 5,000m titles. A week later she was crowned the Big West Track Athlete of the Year and will enter NCAA's with a boost of confidence. Twenty-seven athletes will toe the line Thursday under the lights as they get after the top eight All-American positions.
The next highest ranked Gaucho in her respective event, Nickless goes into the Steeplechase ranked 12th in a field of twenty-seven after a phenomenal race less than a week ago. Running well throughout the season, Nickless lowered her UCSB school record by ten seconds and ran away with the Big West Conference Championship in the steeple only to back it up with a runner up finish in the 5,000m. Going in ranked 9th into the NCAA West Regional Championship Steeplechase final she would need to lower her time by seven more seconds or grab one of the five automatic qualifying spots.
With the altitude against her at BYU, which had already destroyed the hopes of some in Provo, Nickless went in and competed as if she was at sea level. Racing to a runner-up finish at the Regional Championships, she left nothing to chance qualifying automatically to NCAA's while dropping her time by thirteen seconds to 10:18.89. Nickless is also unofficially ranked 14th in the U.S. and unofficially in the top seventy athletes at the distance in the world. She will line up in the semi-finals on Wednesday evening with the top five women in each heat qualifying automatically along with the next four best marks.
Lewis on the other hand left a few things up to chance after an 8th place finish in the thin air of Provo, UT to qualify for the National Championships at 5,000m. The West Region at 5k has notoriously gone out a bit slow, leaving it up to the athletes to finish in the top five or hoping a faster time earlier in the year would get them an at-large spot; of course this year, the altitude was one more factor the women had to overcome. Last year, Lewis finished 6th place at Regionals and without a faster time was one of the first athletes to not qualify. This year, Lewis raced tough at the Oregon Invitational to come away with a win on the famous Hayward Field track and a new personal best of 16:28.28, beating out West Region rival Ashlee Vincent of Portland.
After taking 8th place at the Regional Championships last weekend, Lewis again found herself waiting to see if an at-large berth to NCAA's was in her future. To make it a bit more complicated her personal best 5k mark achieved in Oregon, ranked 9th on the national at-large list. With the NCAA traditionally taking seven at-larges in the 5,000m, Lewis and the Gauchos would have to see if anybody qualified in the 5k and another event at nationals, would choose the other. Luckily, two key athletes did, moving her to 7th on the at-large list and earning the last at-large spot in the field for the National Championships. She will step up to the line in the prelims on Wednesday night ranked 22nd, with the top six from each heat qualifying automatically into finals along with the next best four marks from the semi-finals.

The police watchdog has been informed after a man was found dead at the bottom of cliffs moments after escaping from a police vehicle.
Northumbria Police said the man's body was discovered at the bottom of Marsden Grotto cliffs in South Shields just after 1am.
The force had been called to the area at 12.34am after receiving a report of a group of people fighting in the car park of the Marsden Grotto pub.
They attended and arrested a man in connection with the fight and he was placed inside a police vehicle.
"Officers were in the process of arresting a second man in connection with the disorder when the prisoner inside the police vehicle escaped and ran off from officers," police said.
"Enquiries were carried out to locate him and at 1:03am his body was found at the bottom of Marsden Grotto cliffs."
The air ambulance was called and the man was given CPR treatment by officers until paramedics arrived.
Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The area around the cliffs has been cordoned off while an investigation is carried out.
The force confirmed the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission due to the contact between officers and the man before he died.

LeVert had 16 points and Glenn Robinson III added 15 for the Wolverines, who made seven of their 11 3-point attempts in the first half and took a 46-30 lead to the breakintermission. The Warriors never got closer than 14 points in the second half.
Bryan Coleman scored 25 points and Michael Lewis added 15 for Wayne State.
Michigan again played without forward Mitch McGary, who was named to the AP preseason All-America team earlier in the day. The 6-10 sophomore — a key player during last season's run to the NCAA championship game — has not practiced due to a lower-back concern and there is no timetable for his return.
The Wolverines stay home Friday to open the regular season against new Division I member Massachusetts-Lowell.

However, the biggest problem that I see is that they just aren't scoring, and this last game, they didn't manufacturing very many scoring chances at all. This is completely uncharacteristic of this team. One goal in two games? I could understand a series like the Philly series last year, but Boston is shutting this team down.
This team is not structured to win 2-1 games on a regular basis. They need to be generating chances and scoring goals to be successful. A new goaltender or a redo on the blue line won't change the scoring troubles in this series. I don't even think coaching will impact this in a huge way.
When the stars quit being stars, the Pens are cooked.
Or they could play a patient responsible game, wait for their chances and strike when the moment's right...instead of forcing offense all the time, giving up bad defensive breaks, and getting frustrated when they don't beat their opponent into submission with their starpower, to the point that they give up on the game.

Lipscomb basketball seniors Justin Glenn and Leah McAlister recently received the A.D. Hancock/Walter Nipper Sportsmanship Award from the Nashville City Civitan Club.
The award is given to a member of the men's and women's basketball teams at each college and university in Nashville along with a representative from each high school district champion. It is given based on leadership, character and sportsmanship.
Glenn, a 6-foot-8 center, was awarded the James R. Byers at last week's Don Meyer Evening of Excellence. He was selected to the Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference Team.
McAlister leaves a legacy of spiritual leadership for the women's basketball team and was known as a leader who unselfishly gave of herself to her teammates. The 5-foot-9 wing was a team captain for two years.

Davies tells his story through the eyes of three very different characters. Esther, a 17-year-old Welsh farm girl and part-time barmaid who lives with her father and the English city boy they've taken in, finds herself attracted to the English soldiers she came to know before they were banned from the pub that employs her. To her they represent the larger world she yearns to see and she finds it difficult to consider them an enemy. Karsten is a young German POW who cannot get over the shame that he feels for having surrendered rather than fighting his enemy to the death. He speaks English well enough to communicate with the group of young boys who spend hours taunting the prisoners from the other side of the fence. Finally, there is Rotheram, a British captain of German origin, and a Jew, whose father was a German World War I hero, and who is still ashamed that he and his mother fled
The Welsh Girl is a coming of age story for its two main characters. Esther's world begins to come apart when she finds out the hard way that the English soldier she favors is not the honorable man she thought him to be. Ashamed to tell her anti-English father what has happened between them, she nonetheless finds herself reconsidering everything she thought she knew about the world. At the same time, Karsten believes that he has done a cowardly thing by surrendering himself and his men, and the only things that make him even momentarily forget his shame are the memory of the brief conversation he once had with Esther at the prison fence and his efforts to befriend her young boarder.
Peter Ho Davies has populated his isolated Welsh village with complex characters who find themselves fighting their own mini-version of a World War. Each of them has to define loyalty, prejudice and bravery in personal terms and in relation to the world that is tearing itself apart around them. When fate and circumstance briefly throw them together, two of those characters, Esther and Karsten, come to realize what is important and what is not.
This one is not to be missed.

Want to get people to eat more salad and less junk food? Make vegetables cheaper and soda more expensive.
It's not exactly a new idea, but a study out Tuesday offers some fresh support for those in favor of using sin taxes and subsidies to steer people toward a more healthful diet.
The study, published online by PLoS Medicine, is a meta-analysis of 32 other studies that use statistical modeling to gauge the impact of various tax and subsidy policies. Overall, it found that consumers buy less of something when the price goes up and they buy more of it when the price goes down.
For instance, for each 1% increase in the price of a carbonated soft drink, consumption was predicted to fall by 0.02%. When it comes to saturated fat, a tax that raised the price by 1% was also predicted to reduce consumption by 0.02%.

He's keeping score
I am in my early 50s and a single mother of college-age children. One lives at home and goes to school nearby. I work full time and do some community and volunteer activities. I also keep active and healthy and have responsibilities with my extended family.
For the past few years I have been dating a man who is in his early 60s. He is retired and has children who are out of college and on their own. We see each other about once a week and talk on the phone every day. In his words, he is kind of a hermit; he enjoys spending time with people but mostly likes being alone doing stuff around his house.
When I first got divorced I thought I would want to find a new relationship. Now I'm leaning toward appreciating the freedom of being single and having the comfort of a relationship that's "there" but not intense.
My main problem? We don't have the easy give-and-take that I would hope for in a relationship. He keeps track of whose turn it is to cook dinner and who has done what household task for the other. About half the time I carry groceries to his house on the T and cook there. This is fine, but sometimes if I've had a busy week I'd like him to cook even if it should be "my turn." He sometimes does small favors for me, like fixing something, but I feel like I am indebted for the favor. And, in fact, I know he mentally "keeps track" of favors he does for people, including things he does for me. He says that he believes that you should always have favors in the bank with people in order to maintain good relationships.
I think that people who are in a close relationship shouldn't keep track of everything too closely and should recognize that one person may need more support than the other sometimes. Even though my boyfriend and I aren't married and don't live together, I'd like to have some of that easy give-and-take.
My boyfriend has more free time, more money, and better resources. I'm more idealistic and community-oriented. He somewhat values the fact that through me he can connect with community events and get to know people. But he doesn't see that as a "contribution" to the relationship in the way fixing something in someone's house might be.
I know this is a crazy situation and I'd like to improve it. So I guess I'd like some perspective - how do other people handle taking turns cooking and exchanging household repairs and the other small things that people do for each other?
– Is it my turn to cook dinner?, Boston
You sound really cool, IIMTTCD, which is why I want you to end this relationship. You can't improve this situation. Not really. You can't change how he sees the world. Some men would consider it a privilege to come over and cook for you. Some men would enjoy the process of picking out what to make and running it over to your house. This guy is too busy keeping score to understand what it means to enjoy a life with someone.
If he were just a friend, what would you think of him? Would you put up with a friend who made you feel bad when you needed help? Would you put up with a friend who didn't value everything you bring to the table?
I want you to be with an enthusiastic partner, not someone who keeps track of who does what. You say that you're happy with this once-a-week relationship, but wouldn't it be nice to be with someone who likes being around more often? Is this guy capable of more?
You don't have to try to repair this relationship just because you've been with him for years. You're allowed to walk away and find someone who shares your values. You should be dating someone who's a better friend.
Readers? Can she fix this? Is it possible that she's asking for too much? Is this an age difference thing? What should she do? Do you keep track of favors? Help.
– Meredith

Are You Ready for the "Kam-Akwasi" Cowboy?
We find ourselves meandering through the practice notes and news each day as we lead up to the Hall of Fame game today between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cincinnati Bengals. Lots of questions from the past season are on every fans mind as we get to have a look see at some of the young players the Cowboys are prepping to make the final roster to head into our 50th season and hopefully our 6th Lombardi Trophy and NFL Championship. Since I already focused on the main position that most people are focusing on this year, left tackle, I thought I would delve into the other main question that has been dogging us since Woody left with us a big hole in the secondary when he walked off into his final sunset as a player.
Free Safety is the one main position that we over look every year. Mainly because we have a couple of guys who tend to just kind of get by and barely get the job done. We were spoiled for a long time because we had Darren Woodson back there to hold down the fort and once he left we got to see just how special he really was. This year though going into the off season Jerry decided he has had enough and gave Ken Hamlin his walking papers and went out and drafted someone that everyone thought we were looking at as a cornerback but some scouts believe that he could turn into a very good free safety. I bring you Akwasi Owusu-Ansah from a small little division II school out of western Pennsylvania. He has a lot of the same attributes that Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie had when he came out of a Division II school, DRC has a bit more speed then him but Akwasi may be a more versatile player and be able to impact the game in a couple other ways then playing in the secondary.
Akwasi was a running back n high school and was switched to cornerback when he got to college. You can see this high school background when he is returning the ball, whether it is on an interception return, a kickoff or punt return. He has those knees just pumping away and doesn't stop those legs churning until he is brought down. Usually not on the first attempt at tackling him either. I have watched a couple of the highlight reels of him returning kicks and seen a couple where it took five to six attempts to finally knock him on his keester.. and some he didn't find his knee on the ground until he was striking paydirt. With his 6 foot, 200 lb frame he is that tweener between a corner and safety when it comes to size but his 4.4 range 40 yd dash time will make you forget about that quickly especially because that speed translates on the field as well.
Now I know everyone will be questioning his ability to transition from division II to the NFL in the secondary but, that is not a worry because of his talents in the return game. Returning a football on kicks in college no matter the level the same talents are needed in the NFL. Awareness and the ability to turn on a dime and also make people miss. That is something he excelled at in college. He will have time to work on his secondary skills while returning punts and he has already gotten some praise form Brett Maxie because of his ability to learn the defensive sets while recovering from shoulder surgery in the off season. He will obviously have to learn run support to play safety as he was a cornerback in college but he has long arms and great closing speed to stop plays dead, whether its wrapping the ball carrier to tackle him or using those arms to deflect balls. His closing speed though allows him to jump routes on receivers.
All in all I think that his ability to help create turnovers, which the Cowboys need a huge shot in the arm in and also his return ability coudl help us have one of the best return games in the NFL. How would you luck to be the coach or kicker trying to decide which person to kickoff to… Akwasi or Felix. Talk about trying to pick the lesser of two evils!

Bucs welcome in No. 60 Georgia State and Nebraska
BRISTOL, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2013) – The 74th-ranked ETSU men's tennis team plays its first pair of home matches this weekend, heading to the Bristol Racquet Club to take on No. 60 Georgia State and Nebraska.
ETSU (3-2) begins the home schedule Friday at 11:30 a.m., when it takes on Panthers of Georgia State (6-1). Saturday, the Bucs play a late afternoon contest with Nebraska (3-3), scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
The Buccaneers have managed to stay above .500 despite a tough non-conference schedule. Three of ETSU's five matches have come against nationally ranked opponents, where it holds a 1-2 record. The win came during the 2013 ITA Kick-Off Weekend, downing then-No. 71 UL-Lafayette, 4-2, while the two defeats came at the hands of No. 4 Ohio State and a Wake Forest team that has climbed to No. 36 in the latest ITA poll.
Oklahoma State and Appalachian State represent ETSU's two other victories. The Bucs downed the Cowboys, 4-2, to chalk up their first win of the year, while the win against ASU came two weeks ago, 6-1, in Boone, N.C.
Senior Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) and junior Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) continue to be the keys to victory. Both Ramirez and Ordeig have won their singles matches in each of ETSU's trio of wins and each Buccaneer's dual record reflects that of the team.
At the top of the win column is sophomore Rogerio Ribeiro (Sao Paulo, Brazil), who stands at 17-9 overall with a 2-2 dual mark. Ribeiro had an impressive freshman campaign where he went 21-9, 12-2 dual, on his way to being named to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team.
Georgia State heads to Bristol on a four-match winning streak that began by defeating No. 62 North Florida in the ITA Kick-Off at the Charlottesville, Va., site. GSU has since defeated Samford, Georgia Southern and Nicholls State, respectively.
Nebraska looks to build on its short streak of two consecutive wins. The Cornhuskers impressively downed No. 30 VCU last weekend, 4-3, and followed that up with a decisive result over Creighton, 6-1.
ETSU squared off with both Georgia State and Nebraska on the road in its 2012 campaign and fell to each. GSU earned a 5-2 win, while the then-38th ranked Cornhuskers narrowly escaped with a, 4-3, decision in Omaha.
Complete match recaps will be available on ETSUBucs.com.

Seems I've started something of a controversy on the other side of The Herald website by writing that I want to see more points, more production out of the Dolphins offense this season.
I didn't think anyone would not want that.
And yet there are foofs readers commenting below the column saying really stupid illogical things like, "all I want is no-mistake offense and great defense," or "The Dolphins didn't win the Super Bowl with a great offense," which is patently false because the offense that won back-to-back Super Bowls for Miami included five Hall of Famers.
I think there's also somebody below the column saying, "It's no sin to punt." The guy's name is Dave W., I think. Anyway ...
The fact is the Dolphins do have a tougher schedule this year and must be better on offense to meet that schedule's challenges. How can you not agree with me on that?
I spoke privately with Coach Tony Sparano as part of my legwork for this column. (Yeah, some columnists actually talk to people before they write.) And yes, the subject of the quarterback came up. And yes, the subject of the quarterback's arm strength came up.
And no, I wasn't able to fit the Sparano's thoughts on the subject into the column for space limitations reasons as the column also went in the newspaper. But here on my blog, there is no space crunch, haven't you heard? So let me share with you what Sparano said when I asked if the complaints about Chad Pennington's limited arm strength are legitimate?
"It don't think it's legitimate. I really don't," Sparano replied. "The throws we need our quarterback to make, Chad Pennington can make every one of them. I mean, he can throw the deep ball. He's done that in ballgames for us. He's done it out here on the practice field. The intermediate stuff, the 18- to 22-yard stuff, he can throw. And he throws the ball up and down the seam as well as any quarterback in this league. And that's where you're finding yards in those areas of the field. I feel like that guy that can throw it the length of the field sometimes, that might be kind of overrated."
So what do you have to say about that? What is your opinion? Post it here.
One more thing: The Dolphins play tonight. The game begins at 7:30 p.m. That means the live game blog also begins at 7:30 p.m. Please come back for the fun.

Chickenpox is a common childhood disease. It causes an itchy, blistering rash and is easily spread to others.
Until the varicella vaccine was licensed in 1995, chickenpox infection was very common. Almost everyone had been infected as a child. Now a vaccine is available to prevent chickenpox. Two doses of the vaccine are recommended for children, teens, and nonimmune adults.
The disease is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is easily passed from person-to-person by direct contact or through the air by coughing or sneezing.
Any child or adult who has never had chickenpox or been vaccinated against it is at risk for getting the disease.
Chickenpox is passed from person-to-person by direct contact or through the air by coughing and sneezing. It can also be spread by being exposed to the fluid from the blistering rash. Once exposed, symptoms usually appear within a couple of weeks. But it may take as few as 10 and as many as 21 days for the chickenpox to develop.
Chickenpox is contagious for 1 to 2 days before the rash starts and until the blisters have all dried and become scabs. The blisters usually dry and become scabs within 5 to 7 days of the onset of the rash. Children should stay home and away from other children until all of the blisters have scabbed over. It is important that people who are infected avoid those with weak immune systems, such as those with organ transplants, HIV, or those getting cancer treatment.
Family members who have never had chickenpox have a high chance of becoming infected when another family member in the house is infected. The illness is often more severe in adults compared to children.
Symptoms are usually mild in children. But symptoms may be life-threatening to adults and people of any age with weak immune systems. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The initial symptoms of chickenpox may resemble other infections. Once the skin rash and blisters happen, it is usually obvious to a healthcare provider that it is chickenpox. If a person who has been vaccinated against the disease is exposed, he or she may get a milder illness with less severe rash and mild or no fever. Always talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The rash of chickenpox is unique. Diagnosis can usually be made on the appearance of the rash and a history of exposure.
Specific treatment for chickenpox will be determined by your healthcare provider based on:
Treatment for chickenpox may include:
Children should not scratch the blisters because it could lead to secondary bacterial infections. Keep fingernails short to decrease the likelihood of scratching.
Complications can happen from chickenpox. They are more common in adults and people with weak immune systems. Complications may include:
If your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms, call your healthcare provider. You should tell your provider as quickly as possible if you get these symptoms:

I certainly vote to keep it going. Maybe we can mount a campaign to get more members as well.

I would very much support keeping the forum open if at all possible, and asked Jeff this question a couple of weeks ago. I also intimated I would be prepared to contribute financially (along with any other members who cared to contribute), if this were the only factor involved in retaining or closing the forum.
Personally, I like the fact that the forum doesn't get hundreds of posts a day like some other forums. It allows me to keep up with what's being posted, and also to get to know the posters and their work better on a more individual basis. And there's some terrific stuff posted here almost daily. Add to that the fact that this is one of the easiest forums to navigate and post photos to, and has the friendliest membership, and you can see why I'd like it to continue for as long as possible.
Nikon D7000 and a bunch of Nikon stuff oh, and some Canon p&s's too
Okay, sounds like I'll be keeping the forums open then!

UK Court Says You Can Copyright The Basic Idea Of A Photograph
from the say-what-now? dept
Over in the UK, though, we have an even more ridiculous ruling, as pointed out on Boing Boing, where a judge has ruled that a photograph using a similar idea, but totally different composition is infringement. You can see the two photographs here:
I have not found this to be an easy question but I have decided that the defendants' work does reproduce a substantial part of the claimant's artistic work. In the end the issue turns on a qualitative assessment of the reproduced elements. The elements which have been reproduced are a substantial part of the claimant's work because, despite the absence of some important compositional elements, they still include the key combination of what I have called the visual contrast features with the basic composition of the scene itself. It is that combination which makes Mr Fielder's image visually interesting. It is not just another photograph of cliched London icons.What troubles me here is that this seems to turn the judge into an art critic in order to determine how the different pieces are put together and what counts as expression vs. idea, and what parts are "copied." Perhaps even more troubling is the following sentence:
Mr Davis submitted that a finding of infringement in this case would give the claimant a monopoly which was unwarranted. He uses the word "monopoly" in a pejorative sense but it does not help. All intellectual property rights are a form of monopoly, properly circumscribed and controlled by the law. In any case I do not accept that a finding for the claimant in this case is unwarranted.While he's right that all intellectual property rights are a form of monopoly, the question here is whether or not this is an appropriate monopoly. The reason Davis pointed out that this was a problem was because, as the court admitted earlier, the fact is that this would be creating a monopoly on commonly used photographic elements. That's the problem. Either way, it's yet another example of copyright law being used to lock up culture.

Hi Mama,
Things will get better. She cant stay awake forever. Can she? When Dakota was born, my 6 yr old, who up to this point had potty learned with ease, and slept all night for what seemed like forever, all the sudden started waking up 3-4 times a night. He told me that he just wasnt sleepy. Ok... well, mama was... so... I made sure there wasnt nothing he could hurt himself with in his room, turned on his lamp... put a baby gate in the door way.. and left him to play. After a few nights of this, he returned to sleeping through the night.
Im not telling you to do that w/a two yr old, but its what worked for me. If you do that, just make sure everything in her room is safe, and maybe use a baby monitor so you could hear her.

Most Texans say they'd back tax boost to raise teacher pay
AUSTIN — Nearly three-quarters of state registered voters would be willing to pay more in taxes to raise teacher pay, according to a poll released Tuesday by the nonpartisan, nonprofit Texas Lyceum leadership group.
Voters decidedly wouldn't be willing to pay more for school administrators. Only 20 percent would fork over more to boost their salaries.
But majorities said that in addition to raising teacher salaries, they'd be willing to pay more in taxes for school staff, construction of new schools, additional instruction in art and music and investment in computers and high-tech equipment.
The Sept. 10-26 statewide phone survey covered topics including public and higher education, health care, water and the state law requiring a sonogram before an abortion.
The survey resulted in 1,175 completed interviews, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.83 percentage points.
The poll comes after Gov. Rick Perry and the Republican-dominated Legislature cut back hard on public education funding in response to last year's budget crunch.
It shows even Republican support for paying more taxes for some key education items. For example, the 74 percent who said they'd pay more taxes to raise teacher pay included 60 percent Republicans and 91 percent Democrats.
For most of the other education items for which a majority of voters overall would pay tax dollars, GOP backing was in the 40s — except for investment in computers and high-tech equipment, which was favored by 58 percent of Republicans.
"This is actually consistent with what you see in a lot of the national data," said Daron Shaw, University of Texas government professor, who conducted the poll.
Mark Jones, Rice University political scientist, said it's a better poll question than simply asking people if they want to invest more in education, but he added: "In the end, the problem will be this is an abstract concept. What are those taxes, and what do they involve?"
It also leaves the question of whether GOP lawmakers would be willing to risk "the opening that voting to raise taxes will provide to an opponent in a primary," Jones said.
Also on state revenue, 64 percent said they would be willing to pay more in water tap fees to ensure state water needs are met. The idea was backed by 70 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of Republicans.
On higher education, 40 percent said public universities are among the best in the nation but 42 percent said students don't get a fair return for what they spend.
In addition, 46 percent said they want to reregulate college tuition but 48 percent said they want to keep deregulation.
Of those who want to keep deregulation, 18 percent said tuition should remain deregulated, and 30 percent said deregulation should be coupled with help for low-income students.
Perry is pushing for higher education changes that he says would make degrees more affordable and costs more predictable.
When asked about federal health care reform, the poll noted that Republicans and Democrats were "mirror images of each other with respect to their opinions toward the law."
More than 80 percent of Republicans had either extremely or somewhat unfavorable views of the federal Affordable Care Act, while more than 80 percent of Democrats had a somewhat or extremely favorable view of the law.
Looking at voters overall, about a 9 percent plurality said Texas should take advantage of the Medicaid expansion under the federal law, with 49 percent saying the state should do so and 40 percent saying it should not because Medicaid is a broken program — phrasing used by Perry. Again, Democrats were greatly in favor of the concept while Republicans were more likely to be against it.
On the law requiring a sonogram before an abortion, there was another notable partisan divide: 69 percent of Republicans favored it and 62 percent of Democrats opposed it.
Among other health questions, 64 percent of those surveyed said today's children are much more likely to be fat and out of shape than when the respondents were kids.
Many blamed parents not controlling what their children eat (31 percent); modern technology, such as televisions and computers (24 percent); and fast food and a bad diet (17 percent).
Responding to a question about Perry's political future, about two-thirds of Republicans are keeping their options open about supporting Perry if he runs for re-election.
The survey of likely voters found 29 percent of Republicans said they would vote for Perry if he runs for governor again in 2014, while 5 percent said they would vote against him. Sixty-six percent said they first want to see who else is running.
Among likely voters overall, 53 percent said they would have to wait and see, while 30 percent would vote against him and 18 percent would support him. Just 5 percent of Democrats said they would vote for Perry.The questions about Perry's re-election prospects and other ballot questions were asked of a random subset of the overall sample, and likely voters were part of that group. The likely voter sample has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.66 percentage points.

The Legislative Yuan yesterday paved the way for the establishment of an anti-corruption agency under the Ministry of Justice as it passed the Organic Statute for Anti-Corruption Administration (廉政署組織條例).
The new agency will be responsible for formulating, coordinating and promoting anti-corruption policies and regulations, the law states. It will also have the right to investigate corruption-related crimes and supervise the ethics divisions of various government agencies.
The law calls for the formation of a review committee that will be responsible for providing professional advice to the agency. The committee will comprise 11 to 15 members selected from representatives of the legal, financial and construction sectors, as well as academics and government officials.
The new agency is to replace the ministry's Department of Government Ethics — a move that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has opposed, calling it a "redundancy."
There has been much dispute as to whether the anti-corruption administration should be independent of the ministry as the DPP had suggested, or be a department under the ministry.
DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng (高志鵬) said yesterday that passage of the statute was a symbolic rather than a substantial move to address corruption issues.
"The function of the anti--corruption administration will overlap with that of prosecutors' and the ministry's Investigation Bureau," Gao said.
Saying that setting up an anti-corruption administration under the ministry was like using "Tiger Balm" — trade name for a herbal ointment — to treat a mosquito bite medicine, Gao said what President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) wanted was to "relieve the itching," rather than eradicate corruption.
DPP lawmakers also expressed concern that an anti-corruption administration under the ministry could become another dong chang (東廠) — a secret police setup run by eunuchs during the Ming Dynasty — used by the powerful to suppress dissidents.
As the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) holds an overwhelming majority in the legislature, the DPP failed to push its version of the law in an article-by-article vote.
Holding placards that read "anti-corruption" on the legislative floor yesterday, KMT lawmakers hailed the enactment, saying it would help create a clean government.
The legislature approved a resolution attached to the statute capping the administration's number of staff at 240 to prevent an unnecessary expansion of the size of the administration.
At a separate setting yesterday, Minister of Justice Tseng Yung-fu (曾勇夫) said the new agency was expected to be set up in July or August.
Tseng said there would be no redundancy, as the new agency would focus on fighting corruption within government agencies, while the Investigation Bureau deals with economic crimes, such as corporate fraud, embezzlement and racketeering.
In addition to its headquarters, the agency will have branches in the cities of Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung, Tseng added.

After trying to replicate human skin to make car interiors feel more natural, Nissan continues by creating the scent of a zero emissions future. That's right, with the Leaf.
For that, they hired Master Perfumer and Aroma Academy Scientist (Yes, that is an actual job, apparently) Dr. George Dodd, who knows more about sniffing than most human beings. He is also someone who we would possibly grab a pint with:
Born downwind of the Guinness brewery in Dublin, his sense of smell was brought to life at an early age before going on to study the science behind the sense and becoming a world-renowned expert.
That's awesome. Much better than being a water sommelier. Yes, that's a thing. Not just in the U.S.
Anyway, George's mission was to come up with the 'scent of the future'...
...one to be doused onto a LEAF shaped car air freshener and given to select electric car fans, Nissan LEAF customers and Nissan employees in Europe as a Christmas gift to thank them for playing their part in a zero-emissions future.
In case you're curious, he used...
...essences taken from cut green grass, myrtle oil, natural orange and the ineffable "light as air" molecule. The scent evokes clean, fresh and organic landscapes in the minds of its sniffers, designed to encourage nostalgic feelings.
I'll leave you with another scent:
It's coal.

News today that FMC is teaming with Chr. Hansen and acquired the Center for Agricultural and Environmental Biosolutions assets is the latest in a series of acquisitions and announcements in the business. BASF bought Becker Underwood earlier this year - we featured a gallery on their process - and Bayer CropScience earlier acquisition of AgraQuest shows that the future will include biological solutions.
Bayer CropScience already points to its Poncho/Votivo approach to managing nematodes as a biological way to stop a crop problem. Biological approaches are a new wave of agriculture technology we'll all be hearing more about.
However, the crop protection companies note that well-researched chemistry is still at the core of what they offer the market. But pests are changing and the needs of farmers around the world are changing too. Add in that biological research is getting more advanced and it appears you may be considering more interesting products for the future to control diseases and pests for your crop.
In this week's announcement, FMC points to its success with Nemix C, a product to help boost sugar cane yield through enhanced root development and protection - it's a biological product.
Think about how we talk about plant production these days. We are more concerned with the biological life of the crop plant than ever before - it's a different approach to agriculture technology. The rise of strobilurin fungicides, which have their own kind of biological impact as they keep plants greener longer, has shown farmers that more is going on in the field than anyone first thought.
Crop protection products have been a key part of producing top-yielding crops, and while they're here to stay the rise of biological approaches to boost yield and enhance productivity are the focus of these major manufacturers.
A cynic would say these companies have to look to biological because of environmental pressure, but it's more than that. We know more today about molecular design and activity. We understand plants at a genetic level in ways we never did. And we'll be deploying new technologies in ways that could surprise us all.
We have pests that eat into profits every year. The soybean cyst nematode is just one you can think of off the top of your head. But look at how inoculants boost soybean yields as Becker Underwood and Novozymes proves every season.
We're entering a new world of science with biological. We understand the systemic acquired resistance in plants that help them beat back pests and disease and we're learning new ways to turn on that response too. It's tricks like that along with a host of others that will change the way we boost yield.
Yet you'll still also rely on a heady list of proven crop protection products that will be the foundation of your operation. I get a feeling from the announcements lately that these companies are just getting warmed up. And it's going to be fun to be along for the ride.

text: Hi together I am currently trying to implement fail2ban compatible logging into SVN but I've some problems. My first approach was placing the code into index.php within the login folder. Problem: exec() not working (it's clear why). Then I tried to create it as a server plugin, however, they are only run if their is an action to do like updating DNS etc. and runs every few minutes (which is not enough). So I removed this try and realized, that it has to be done within the interface and not the server (as it belongs to it). So now the problem still exists, that the interface is not allowed to run code out of it's space, e.g. in /var/log/ispconfig/. What would be the correct way to do this? Would it be possible to use the $app->log "command" and set the LOGLEVEL to "ERROR" or is there another recommended way of doing this? //edit: LOGLEVEL error wouldn't be the best choice I guess, because the log gets kind of spammed without real errors... //edit2: realized that $app->log only logs to MySQL by default so this doesn't help. It seems like the only change is to create a cron running all few seconds to fetch entries from DB and write to file.. Thank you very much! Michel

Midwest Geobash 2007
After work this past Friday (OK, maybe before work officially ended) I left for Kendalville, Indiana to attend the 2007 version of the Midwest Geobash, or MWGB. This was a fun time because I got to see some geocaching friends from Iowa and Wisconsin and meet many geocachers.
It was held on the Noble Country fairgrounds, and there was plenty of room for all the hundreds of campers -- everything from huge RVs down to my small tent. I arrived after dark on Friday night, so after getting some directions from the helpful volunteers at the gate, I drove in to look for a campsite. I ended up at the very far fringe of the campers, which was fine with me because I figured it would be a quiet spot. Well, that would have been the case if it wasn't for the trains. After setting up my tent, I walked the campground looking for familiar faces. I found a group of geocachers from Wisconsin that I knew -- well, I knew one of them: zuma! -- so I sat at their campfire and enjoyed a beer with them before heading back to my tent and calling it a night. Indiana calls itself the Crossroads of America, so Kendalville must be the railroad crossing of Indiana. I swear that trains must have passed by at least every 10 minutes. Finally, sometime after 2 a.m. the trains decided to give the camping geocachers a break for awhile. Saturday morning I awakened at 6:30 and decided to walk around and check out the fairgrounds in the daylight. There wasn't another soul stirring. Everyone must have stayed up a lot later than I did. I ate breakfast at my campsite, then fired up my notebook computer because I heard there was a wifi network at the fairgrounds. Sure enough, I got a strong signal at my campsite so I logged in and reviewed 21 Iowa caches that morning. Later, when I saw the tasty looking pancakes being served by the Noble County Farm Bureau in one of the barns, I decided a second breakfast wouldn't hurt me.
The rest of the day included a presentation by Sonny & Sandy, hosts of the weekly podcacher.com podcast. They emailed me a few weeks earlier and asked if I'd be willing to sit for an interview for an upcoming show, so we found a quiet spot to do the interview. Listen for it on an upcoming show. After the interview, I went geocaching with 7 other friends I met at the event and enjoyed seeing more of Kendalville and the surrounding countryside. We got back just in time for a panel discussion featuring a panel of geocaching.com reviewers. Trippy1976, who organized the panel, said he needed another body willing to sit on the panel, so I found myself volunteered. I'm glad I did. It was fun to help out with the event, and it was a good way for me to meet even more geocachers as quite a few of them who now recognized me as a reviewer stopped by to chat after the panel discussion. By late Saturday afternoon it was time for me to head home. I would have enjoyed staying a second night, but Mary is going to be gone on business most of the coming week so I wanted to get home and spend Sunday with her.

Hey ken, Thanks for relaying my message to drtMN at the event! Glad to hear he appreciated it!
On a side note, I always took you for being taller, but it looks like you can just stand up in your tent ;)..... (take a close look at the tent picture

Did this reviewer panel just an open Q&A? or did was there a set list of things to be talked over??

Welch, it was an open Q&A with questions from the audience. The audience was actually fairly large -- maybe one hundred geocachers or so, as I remember.

Olivares picks up third win of the season
BRISTOL, Tenn. (Feb. 19, 2009) - After nearly upsetting No. 3 Georgia a week ago the ETSU men's tennis team fell to in-state rival Middle Tennessee State 4-1, Thursday afternoon inside the Country Club of Bristol, in Bristol, Tenn. With the loss ETSU falls to 1-4 on the season, while the Blue Raiders improve to 3-2 mark.
"We came out flat today," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. �I don't know if the guys really understood the seriousness of the match."
MTSU took control early winning the doubles point by taking two out of the three doubles matches. The lone ETSU win came as freshman Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) and sophomore Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia) rallied to defeat Kyle Wishing and Alex McCann, 8-2.
"We lost a very important doubles point, but the biggest thing was how our team didn't step up and fight the entire match," said Zaatini. "MTSU played hard and deserved to win and unfortunately we didn't perform like we should have."
After the Blue Raiders took the doubles point and an early 1-0 lead, 11th-ranked senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) rallied to even things up a 1-1, after defeating Victor Melo, 6-1, 6-1. Unfortunately for the Bucs the Preseason Atlantic Sun Player of the Year would pick up the only singles win for ETSU on the day as sophomores Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France), Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Isaza all fell in straight sets giving MTSU the 4-1 victory.
"This was our first home contest and I think not playing actually on our home courts effected us this afternoon," said Zaatini. "But overall I take nothing away from MTSU. They are a great team and really took it to us today."
ETSU returns to action as they travel north to take on Minnesota, Feb. 28 in Minneapolis, Minn.
1. #15 Enrique Olivares (ETSU) def. Victor Melo (MTSU) 6-1, 6-1

1979 Ford F-150 - Project Two-By Four, Part 2Posted in Project Vehicles on August 1, 2001
Having become fed up with sticking our two-by in the dunes and mud, we decided that it was time to get some extra wheels spinning. Very few of us can afford to drop a truck off at a fab shop and leave a blank check, so we are doing all of the fabrication and design ourselves. We know that many of you have welders and other fabricating tools and are fairly proficient with them, so this project shouldnt seem so far out of reach.
Last month we covered how to build the three-link suspension, the solid front axle installation, steering, and the initial planning of our two-wheel-drive to four-wheel-drive conversion on our 79 Ford F-150. The design of the three-link is such that it can be done on any straight front-axle vehicle if you dont mind doing a little homework. This month well cover how to build the shock hoops for coilover and standard long-travel shocks. Well finish off next month with the transfer case installation, and tie up the other loose ends.
We often see coilover and large-diameter, reservoired shocks on the trail. A few years ago this was almost unheard of. The industry has since realized that there is a market for quality budget shocks. King Shocks is well known throughout the off-road race scene as one of the best custom shock manufacturers. King builds full-tilt, wonder-budget race shocks, but it also offer the Pre-Runner Series shocks for significantly less coin. We provided King with a good idea of what the truck weighed, its intended use, and the mounting locations of the shocks. With this information the company assembles and valves the shocks for the specific application. These could be the last shocks you ever buy because they can be rebuilt and revalved if you decide to use them in a different application. The standard Pre-Runners can be converted to a coilover by adding the threaded adjusting sleeve and other hardware.

Mardi Gras in Thibodaux is taking a step back to the early 1900s with a permanent night parade.
Mardi Gras in Thibodaux is taking a step back to the early 1900s with a permanent night parade.
After two years of test runs, the Thibodaux City Council last week approved the Krewe of Ambrosia changing its parade time from mid-afternoon to nighttime.
"It makes it more fun for the crowd with the lights," said Linda Verzwyvelt, Krewe of Ambrosia president.
Decades went by without Thibodaux hosting a night parade until the krewe rolled at night the past two years.
But that wasn't the first time the city has had a regular nighttime Mardi Gras display.
Enhanced by a feature of the modern world — the electric light — and shipped into the city via steamboat, King Sucrose reigned over the city's first night parade from 1900 through 1906.
It was "the grandest display Thibodaux has ever seen," according to the March 6, 1900, edition of the Lafourche Comet, an ancestor of the Daily Comet that was published weekly.
"While the procession was in progress, the immense throng of several thousand people that crowded the streets had the pleasure of beholding a magnificent spectacle composed of 10 floats," reads a 1901 Comet report of the Thibodaux Carnival Club's second year hosting the night parade. "The crowd, both at the reception of the king and at night, was large, appreciative and enthusiastic."
Nobody knows why the city's night parade ended or what happened to the club between 1906 and 1914 when King Sucrose made one final appearance on Mardi Gras night.
Verzwyvelt said having the procession become Thibodaux's only night parade is an honor, especially considering the accommodations local government and law enforcement make for it.
"It is challenging, but we have gotten great response from the city, Sheriff's Office and city police, and without their help we could not do it," Verzwyvelt said.
Following this year's parade, Thibodaux Police Chief Scott Silverii said lighting is one of the primary challenges when planning a night parade. Daylight is a deterrent to some crimes that might take place in a crowded setting, he added.
Verzwyvelt said the city has provided generators and lights in the trial runs to alleviate concerns about lighting.
Silverii also said people traditionally drink more before night parades, and traffic is more of an issue with the parade ending late.
Verzwyvelt said she thinks more people are going to make the parade a tradition since this year's parade was better attended than the previous one when there were chilly temperatures.
"We did have a lot of people on the route, and next year our crew will do the lighted beads again," she said.
The next night parade will roll at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 22, 2014, she said.
