Each team is athletic and likes to push the ball up and down the court. Each team likes to drive the ball to the basket. Jacksonville also fits in that category.
"Jacksonville's style is very similar to Stetson," Bennett said. "They have a very athletic starting lineup and pretty good depth off of the bench.
"We have to keep them from driving the ball to the basket. We have to keep them from scoring inside and getting second shots. Our challenges are the same each game because some of that style fits into our weaknesses."
The Lady Bisons will host Jacksonville Saturday in an Atlantic Sun Conference game at 4 p.m. at Allen Arena. The Lady Bisons are 6-7, 3-1 in the conference. Jacksonville is 6-6, 1-2 in the A-Sun.
The Lady Bisons lost at Florida Gulf Coast Wednesday 75-57. Jacksonville lost 77-65 at Campbell Monday. The Lady Bisons have lost three of their last four games. Jacksonville has lost four of its last five.
Jacksonville has won the last eight games in the series after the Lady Bisons won the first six. The last time the Lady Bisons beat Jacksonville was Nov. 30, 2006 at Allen Arena.
Senior guard Jenna Bartsokas leads the Lady Bisons with 15.2 points per game. She is averaging 19.8 points in A-Sun games.
Junior guard Anna Bowers is averaging 14.6 points per game overall.
Junior center Brittany Duerk is the leading rebounder for the Lady Bisons with 5.2 per game. Bennett is also counting on Duerk to add some more scoring punch.
Bartsokas has always been a team leader and Bowers has elevated her game offensively.
But Hannah Phillips, a junior forward, also continues to improve offensively. Assistant coach Billy Snell has been working with Phillips on her shooting style.
"Hannah has shown a lot of improvement the last few games," Bennett said. "She didn't have consistent footwork and balance. Her second problem was her shooting stroke.
"It is finally clicking for her a little bit. She sees the ball is going in and she is gaining some confidence."
Phillips is getting increased playing time as Leah McAlister is slowed by an injury.
"Hannah can run all day," Bennett said. "She can run at a high pace. She has great endurance.
"She is a good defender. She can rebound. She is one of our better passers. The thing we are looking for from her is consistency."
Rebounding is one area where the Lady Bisons are looking for improvement.
"Keeping it close is like a victory for us on the boards," Bennett said. "I thought we have done a pretty reasonable job the last two games.
"That's the challenge of playing three guards on the perimeter. And we have been playing a fourth guard at our No. 4 forward position. We are undersized. We just have to play hard and use good techniques to neutralize that."
Senior forward Lynsey Paschal leads Jacksonville with 11.3 points per game. Taneskei Richardson, also a senior forward, is averaging 10.3 points and a team-leading 9.5 rebounds per game.

March 12, 2009

UCLA Anderson hosted the Net Impact Consulting Challenge (NICC) on Saturday, March 2, as Anderson students made their final presentations to competition judges. For the event, teams of Anderson students, both full-time and fully-employed MBAs, provided recommendations to various nonprofit organizations throughout Los Angeles, analyzing issues specific to each organization.
The process began February 17, when twelve teams of five to six students met their nonprofits for the first time. Over the next two weeks, the teams familiarized themselves with their respective nonprofits and the particular issues they wanted addressed, and prepared presentations in which they proposed their solutions to of a panel of ten judges.
The twelve teams were narrowed down to three finalists, and after another round of presentations, a team working with Project Grad LA, an organization which seeks to assist underprivileged Los Angeles communities with early college outreach, were declared the winners of the $2,500 first prize. Project GRAD LA team members are Joe Ziomek ('10), Madeline Dewey ('10), Leaat Dulberg ('10), Teddy Ho ('10), Sam Kang ('10) and Anuradha Kumar ('10). In a unified showing of support, the first place team donated $600 dollars of their prize to Project Grad LA; also the second place team donated $375 to A Community of Friends while the third place team donated $275 to its charity The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. The donations represent about 25 percent of the prize winnings.
The NICC was started four years ago by Anderson alumnus Julie Lacouture ('06), who served as one of the judges this year. "That first year, there were only five or six nonprofits," says Jenny Trucano ('09), one of three student directors of this year's competition. The event serves as a great way for students interested in being involved in the nonprofit space to gain hands-on experience, as well as to network.
In addition to the growing number of students taking part, organizers are also noticing an increase in the overall caliber of the event. "The complexity of the issues, the sophistication of the client agencies, and the quality of the analyses and presentations were marked improvements over prior years," says Professor Kevin McCardle, Senior Associate Dean of the MBA program.
The members of second place A Community of Friends were Jaime Sipila ('09), John Uysal ('10), Santiago Gil Ramirez ('10) and Nishit Sawhney ('10). Third place Los Angeles County Bicycle team members were Doron Gavra ('10), Daidipya Patwa, Kristen Perry ('10), Elizabeth Moore ('10) and Christian Schmelebeck ('10).

Allergic to dentures
Is there a coating I can put on dentures? I am on my 4th upper denture. This one is made of valplast. I still have sores if I wear dentures more than 4 hours. I have tried different creams, and nothing seems to work. Can the denture be painted with a gold paint or any other permanent coating to help? I have been going through this for 4 years and am at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
1. Is there a coating I can put on dentures? There is not a permanent coating. There is a daily coating of adhesive for dentures like Fixodent that may help to fill more comfortable.
2. Can the denture be painted with a gold paint or any other permanent coating to help? Not as far as I know. I have never heard about it (30 years experience). There is no gold coating. There are dentures made with gold plates instead of acrylic, but I am not sure if that will eliminate your sore spots. You may need to start thinking about a treatment with implants and maybe a fixed prosthesis over the implants. That will eliminate the tissue support of the prosthesis and the sore spots. It will be expensive, but is worth it.

Renewable energy can be produced from a wide variety of sources including wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and biomass. By using more renewables to meet its energy needs, the EU lowers its dependence on imported fossil fuels and makes its energy production more sustainable. The renewable energy industry also drives technological innovation and employment across Europe.
2020 renewable energy targets
The EU's Renewable energy directive sets a binding target of 20% final energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020. To achieve this, EU countries have committed to reaching their own national renewables targets ranging from 10% in Malta to 49% in Sweden. They are also each required to have at least 10% of their transport fuels come from renewable sources by 2020.
All EU countries have adopted national renewable energy action plans showing what actions they intend to take to meet their renewables targets. These plans include sectorial targets for electricity, heating and cooling, and transport; planned policy measures; the different mix of renewables technologies they expect to employ; and the planned use of cooperation mechanisms.
A new target for 2030
Renewables will continue to play a key role in helping the EU meet its energy needs beyond 2020. EU countries agreed in 2014 on a new renewable energy target of at least 27% of EU's final energy consumption by 2030, as part of the EU's energy and climate goals for 2030.
On 30 November 2016, as part of the Clean Energy for All Europeans package, the Commission published a proposal for a revised Renewable Energy Directive to make the EU a global leader in renewable energy and to ensure that the 2030 target is met.
On 14 June 2018 the Commission, the Parliament and the Council reached a political agreement which includes a binding renewable energy target for the EU for 2030 of 32%, with a clause for an upwards revision by 2023. This political agreement must now be translated into all EU languages and formally adopted by the European Parliament and the Council, and then published in the Official Journal of the EU.
Support schemes for renewables
Public interventions such as support schemes remain necessary to make certain renewable energy technologies competitive. To avoid distorting energy prices and the market however, these schemes should be time-limited and carefully designed. The EU has issued guidance on support schemes to help governments when they design or revise support schemes.
Progress reports
Every two years, the EU publishes a renewable energy progress report.
The 2017 report states that the EU as a whole achieved a 16% share of renewable energy in 2014. In 2016, the estimated share of renewable energy in the EU's gross final energy consumption was 17% (the progress of each country will be fully assessed in the coming months). The vast majority of EU countries are well on track to reach their 2020 binding targets for renewable energy.
This report was published in February 2017 alongside the Second State of the Energy Union report.
Transparency Platform
Under the EU's Renewable Energy Directive, the European Commission must keep a 'transparency platform'. This allows public access to national and Commission documents relating to renewable energy.

I found this dog wandering through the intersection of El Paso Dr. and Division on Sunday, Nov 18 around 10 am. She's a chow mix, probably 10-15 years old. She's very sweet and great on a leash but has trouble walking, probably due to arthritis or a bad hip. I've posted signs on the telephone poles in the area but have not received a call from the owner yet. She's currently at the L.A. Animal Services shelter. Her ID # there is A1358429 and their phone number is 213.485.9241. They won't keep her very long. I hope her owner claims her soon. She's really a sweetheart.

2009 acting alumnus Amadeo Fusca won the So You Think You Can Roast national online talent contest, awarding him the opportunity to roast comedian Jack Black at the Friars Club in New York City. On April 5, he joined the stage with comedians Jeff Ross, Sarah Silverman, Ben Stiller, John Cusack and others.
Job title: Tour guide for On Location ToursMajor and degree earned: B.A. in acting, 2009Hometown: Churchill, Pa.Now living in: New York CityHigh School: Woodland Hills High SchoolHobbies/interests: Improv, pool, ping pong, cards, movies
I moved to Los Angeles after high school to live with my brother and naively tried to begin my acting career. My mom insisted that I go to a university, so I moved back to Pittsburgh and applied to Point Park. I only wanted to do acting if I went to school, and Point Park's program had an excellent reputation.
I collaborated with my writing partner Mike Smith. We bounced ideas off each other and he mainly creates most of the punchlines, if not all. I test it out on my tour bus, on very close friends and my brothers. I then put the entire act into a script which I memorize (I do not use paper at the podium when roasting) and rehearse it about 50 times prior to the roast.
It was exhilarating and at times very nerve-racking. The event sat 1,800 people, but it wasn't the crowd that worried me as much as the enormous celebrity panel that was my job to poke fun at. Even though my set went very well, it was intimidating at times to look over at some of their faces while I was saying terrible things about them for the amusement of the crowd. However, I got to meet most of them briefly, and I'm confident that I will run into a lot of these people again and that I have made a very good impression on them.
You have to love it, because the majority of chasing your dream is a constant struggle. There is no rhyme or reason to how things work. Put yourself out there, be nice to everybody and hope for the best. You have to love every minute of the highs and lows.
Playing Romeo in Romeo & Juliet was a life-changing experience for me. I was so proud and honored to be given the role, that I wanted to make everybody proud in their decision and confidence in my abilities. I studied the role vigorously (in retrospect maybe too vigorously) and put my heart into the production.
They made me a Friars Club member, so I have been attending a great deal of their events and mingling with that crowd, trying to solidify my connections there. I'm playing a supporting role in a feature film, A New York Heartbeat, and a couple of short films that I starred in and co-produced. Other than that, I have just been auditioning for everything and anything that comes my way.

Another year, another injury to Fernando Martinez.
Martinez is on the minor league disabled list again, this time with an injury to his right leg, which could prevent him from returning to the major leagues when the rosters expand Sept. 1.
With these constant injuries, Martinez has failed to distinguish himself on a consistent enough basis to warrant full-time. Consequently, his trade value is slowly diminishing. And, with the outfield full for next year – Angel Pagan, Carlos Beltran and Jason Bay – the Mets will likely do what they've usually done with young prospects and that's to keep him in the minor leagues to get consistent at-bars.
The Mets need to think long and hard about Martinez, the progress he's made and his injury history and wonder if it's worth it hold on to him for another year until Beltran's contract expires or see what they an get for him now.
The Mets are getting diminishing returns from Martinez, and there will come a time that if he hasn't made it he will have little or no trade value.

My friends and I have boxes full of older model and used golf balls which we will never hit.
Is there an environmentally friendly disposal process for these old golf balls?
What does the manufacturer Titleist recommend regarding disposal of their no longer wanted products.
I believe they should sponser a user friendly solution which all golfers could (and would I believe) participate in.
DenoHawthorne, NJ
Donate them to a First Tee Program or HS Golf team in your area. Even a driving range close by.
Thanks for these tips.Have tried both of these. The driving ranges do not want them. First Tee (great organization) has an ample supply of better quality golf balls in stock available for students. I guess one question for manufacturers would be Are golf balls recyclable? If so how, where and when? If not, should manufacturers take on responsibility for providing a proper return channel (through golf clubs or retailers who sell their products.

Stick em in your shag bag.
My problem is someone gave me a 5 gallon pail in the 90's when I wasn't playing (I would occassionaly rent a set to drink beer with everyone else). Mostly TF and Spauldings, altough I did find about 9 varieties of Titleist balls (might start a museum collection) as well as Hogans and one Palmer. These were collected off a golf course by the guy's father in law (retired, just for the exercise walked a course). Some had been weathered for a while, but most are pretty close to one hit wonders. I was cleaning the garage for the fall and found the pail and didn't even know they were moved over a thousand miles 9 years ago.
I don't have any place to use these, so I don't know what I would do with a shag bag, other than to just hit them at a driving range. I'm also looking for an option other than the landfill.
BTW, I found out opitc yellow and orange were popular TF balls in the 90's.
I and my friends have the same issue nobody wants the old-damaged-out of date balls either in a box or in the shag bag.
I think the manufacturers shoud come up with a responsible solution to one of their core businesses (golf ball sales).
I am sure this issue has been discussed internally as companies review their environmental responsibilites to our continent which would also iinclude gollf course maintenence (chemicals--watering) etc. What about the used clubs we all have a few in our garages also that nobody wants to hit.

A winner was selected from 75 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Black Mariah
We are a small batch distillery that is launching a new liqueur named Black Mariah. It is a liqueur made from a Marionberry. Similar to a blackberry or raspberry.
Adult beverage consumers from the ages of 21 and up.
We need a signature in beautiful, legible hand writing to print on a label that is already finished. The signiture is from "Black Mariah" the queen of spades. We want something royal and proud. The "B" and the "M" can be fancy. This signature is the only title on the front label so people must be able to read it.
Some things about the Queen of Spades. She is classy, powerful, beautiful and confident. When you want to see her you love her. When you don't want to see her you hate her. She doesn't care either way.
The rest of the label is done. We have attached the current version with an unwanted signature so you can see where we are.
We will need final product in ai, jpeg and tiff files on white background and black.

COSTA MESA — Expectations weren't that the Newport Harbor boys' basketball team was going to be playing one of the top teams in the CIF Southern Section after dropping both its pool-play games of the Estancia Coast Classic Tournament.
While the Sailors were relegated to the tournament's silver division, they still found themselves squaring off with Foothill — the No. 9-ranked team in CIF Southern Section Division I-AA which won both its pool-play games.
It looked like Newport Harbor, which came into the game ranked No. 11 in Division II-A, was outmatched when it found itself down 16 at halftime. The Sailors managed to put a scare into the Knights but nothing more, as Foothill saw it turn to a two-possession game before pulling away late for the 77-61 victory.
"I really like the way we responded to the challenge," said Newport Harbor Coach Bob Torribio, whose team will face Long Beach Wilson in the division consolation game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. "We're still trying to figure out why the heck we're playing a fifth-ranked team in the county in a silver-division game, but I'm real proud of our effort and how our guys responded in the second half."
The answer is there was simply too many 2-0 teams — Foothill, Corona, Clovis West and Sunny Hills — out of pool play. The seedings for division play are determined by overall record, head-to-head results, total points allowed or a coin flip. Foothill just happened to give up the most points (163) out of those four teams in pool play.
The Sailors (7-7) and Knights (13-1) both got big boosts from their guards Nic Sargeant and Justin Davis. Davis recorded a game-high 32 points to accompany seven steals and four rebounds for Foothill, while Sargeant scored a team-high 22 points, grabbed five boards and two steals for Newport.
"That's a really good team," Sargeant said. "Usually we kind of let down in the second half, but I thought we played really hard and we beat them in the third quarter. Overall, it was a really good game for us."
Newport climbed back into contention thanks to strong starts to the third and fourth quarters. It cut its deficit to nine, 48-39, when it opened the third quarter with a 10-3 spurt after consecutive and-one plays from Zach Wade (13 points) and Robbie Rettig with 6:20 left in the third.
Wade converted his and-one layup and then forced a steal at the other end and set up Rettig for an easy layup with 6:20 to go in the third, which cut the deficit to single digits, 48-39.
Foothill pushed its lead 11, 58-47, by the end of the third but quickly found itself in a five-point game, 58-53, after consecutive three-pointers from Sargeant and Brian Robbs (12 points) just 1:07 into the fourth quarter.
The Sailors were unable to bring it any closer than that. They were still within striking distance when Sargeant laid one up and in to cut the deficit to 66-58 with 2:14 to play, but things fell apart from there. Foothill's Josh Reed (10 points) nailed a three on the next trip down the floor, which was followed up by a steal and layup from the Knights' Kyle Lawson (nine points) to give them an insurmountable lead, 71-58, with 1:23 remaining.
Newport also got off to a nice start in the first quarter, scoring the first five points of the game on a Sargeant layup and Wade three-pointer, but turned around and gave up a 10-0 run to Foothill, which got 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks from Jacob Dean.
The Knights held a 12-point lead, 26-14, by the end of the first quarter, as they forced seven Newport turnovers and committed just two of their own. Foothill pushed its advantage to 16, 45-29, at the half behind 19 points and five steals from Davis.
"The reason we got down so big was our own fault," Torribio said. "We were down 12 in the first quarter because we had seven turnovers; in the second quarter we had one, that's the difference right there. ... We just beat ourselves, I don't think they beat us."

In his 1897 volume Celebrated Trials, Henry Lauren Clinton describes Martin Grover as unique among the judges who have sat on the New York state bench. Grover's irrepressible humor and distinctive demeanor guarantee him that position for all time.
Martin Grover was born on October 11, 1811, in Laurens (some histories say Hartwick), Ostego County. His father was a farmer of limited means, but "was endowed with that energy of character and unbending integrity that so distinguished his son."1 Educated at Hartwick Academy, Grover won the commendation of his teachers, who likened his quest for knowledge to "'a miser seeking for gold.'"2 Grover did not attend college, but studied law with William G. Angel and was admitted to practice at the age of 21.
Some time after 1835, Grover and Angel formed the partnership of Angel & Grover in Angelica, Allegany County. A few years later, Grover formed another kind of partnership-marriage-with Angel's niece, Emily Whitmore. Angel & Grover was engaged in nearly every important case tried at the Angelica bar.3
As an attorney, Grover "was distinguished more for strength than for polish. He spoke rapidly and used plain, blunt language, but in his efforts before juries he exercised an ingenuity that rarely failed to make an impression."4 He was dubbed "the ragged lawyer."5 He wore "square-toed boots to the day of his death, -- nicely blackened, to be sure, but that was probably because he could not keep them away from the hotel porter; and broad clothes always sat uneasy and wrinkled upon him, and his trousers were always as short as his temper sometimes was."6 He was known for coming into court with a wisp of hay in his hair, and "to his last day he had a trick of brushing his head with his hand as he entered court"7-mannerisms likely aimed at winning over rural juries, as he did.
Grover's intellect was unquestioned. Fellow lawyers admired his extensive legal learning and vast fund of information on subjects such as philosophy, history, biography, metaphysics, statistics, and politics.8 He had a remarkable power of retaining what he learned, and a marvelous grasp of the law's application to the facts of any given case. That, coupled with his sense of humor, often resulted in stunning courtroom victories.9
Grover, for example, once defended a man accused of murdering his wife by throwing her down a well. The prosecution called a clergyman who testified to attending the wife's funeral and observing the accused looking across the church and winking at some of girls during the officiating clergyman's prayers. After Grover's vigorous cross-examination of the clergyman, the courtroom "convulsed with laughter, and the clergyman left the stand in great rage." The clergyman then "hissed out at Grover, so as to be heard all over the court-room: You are a gentleman!" Grover replied: "Hold on; go right back on the witness stand. I've long wanted a witness I could prove that fact by. But I give you fair notice if you swear I am a gentleman there are a thousand men in Alleghany County, where I live, that will impeach you."10 Grover's client was acquitted.
Grover's years in practice were an excellent prelude for his next career: politics. Widely known as an able debater and an adroit politician,11 in 1844, he was elected to the House of Representatives as a Democrat and served from March 4, 1845 to March 3, 1847. Grover did not, however, adhere to all of the principles of the 19th century Democratic Party, most especially the Party's support for the extension of slavery in the free territories.
In 1850, Grover officially joined the Republican Party, and in 1853, unsuccessfully ran as the Free-Soil's candidate for New York Attorney General. During the 1853 political convention, he took an active part in the heated slavery debates, urging "that there is a provision in the Constitution which requires us to surrender slaves, and that, like every other provision, must be faithfully and cheerfully lived up to."12
As he later explained, "[t]hrough my whole life I have been opposed to the extension of Slavery to Free Territory. I have never doubted the power of Congress to prohibit it in the Territories, and that it was their duty so to exercise that power as to prevent its extension. This doctrine I learned years ago. It was Democratic doctrine," but now the Democratic Party has announced the direct opposite doctrine as the Party's fundamental principle.13
In 1857, Grover was elected, as a Republican, to fill a vacancy in the Supreme Court for the Eighth Judicial District14 and in 1859 he was reelected for a full term.
As a Judge, Grover's character rested "on a granite base," free of political influence. "In the discharge of his judicial duties, party, politics and friends, were alike forgotten. His integrity was never called in question in his public or private relations."15 Notwithstanding these accolades, Grover simply could not contain his sense of humor on the bench, and his courtroom was described as a "circus." There were reports that Grover "was often personal, even to the extent of abuse. He would purposely mispronounce a lawyer's name to annoy him; 'Mister Lorrykew,' for Larocque, is a well known example."16
In 1859, Grover was designated to serve ex officio on the Court of Appeals. In 1865, he accepted the Democratic nomination for the Court of Appeals, officially switching back to the Democratic Party, a move the New York Times criticized: "The Judge only lowers his own character and proves his unfitness for the Bench, by lending the sanction of his name to the wretched jugglery of the Albany Convention. If the people were fools such a trick might succeed."17
That same day, the Times published a September 20, 1865 letter of explanation from Grover:
"I had differed with some of my associates as to the power and duty of Congress to exclude slavery from the free territories of the Union; that for that cause my political action has, of late years, diverged from that of many of my early associates. That cause of difference is now removed. By the result of the war, slavery is entirely eradicated in the country. . . . That war is now happily and gloriously closed, with a Union preserved and undivided, and human slavery terminated."18
Grover won the 1867 election to the Court of Appeals for an eight-year term and, when the present court was formed under the 1870 Constitution, he was elected for a 14-year term.
As a Court of Appeals Judge, Grover continued his unique style, with some refinement. Notably, he began to dress "with scrupulous care and taste." He did not, however, have the ability to "sit quietly, look grave, and silently listen to the arguments of Counsel."19
Given the Court's heavy backlog, the bench was generally cold, and most Judges did not read the parties' submissions before oral argument. Grover was the exception. He had a "dreadful habit" of sitting up at night, and reading the record for the next day's argument.20 Sometimes Grover knew more about the case than counsel, and he thoroughly enjoyed questioning counsel and presenting his own suggestions for the case. The Green Bag editorialized that "[t]he worst of it was that he was usually right; but then he was out of his place, and I doubt that anything was gained for justice by this conduct."21
Grover helped direct counsel to the asset of brevity, instructing one lawyer that "[t]he court cannot look at all these cases, you know. You pick out three or four that you set the most store by, and we'll try to look at 'em." Grover Afound shrewd ways to worry counsel. He would yawn, or look around and smile (not to say grin) satirically, interrupt, and assume to 'run the court.'"22 Chief Judge Sanford E. Church was sometimes "visibly amused, sometimes annoyed."23
The press also picked up on Grover's dialect, noting that he would tell counsel to address a specific "pint," rather than "point," during oral argument. One lawyer attempted to "give [Grover] as good as he sent," by arguing to the Court "I say, as his Honor, Judge Grover, frequently observes, I don't think there's much in that pint." Grover was "visibly annoyed, and the rest of the judges could hardly conceal their merriment." Grover had the last laugh, however, as "the court beat him on that very 'pint.'"24
Astute counsel learned to prepare for Grover's interruptions. When Grover asked "Where do you get your law?" a young lawyer responded "From the Court of Appeals. Permit me to read a decision handed down by Judge Martin Grover." Grover rejoined, "That is good law. Keep right on, young man."25
The bar generally overlooked Grover's "faults of manner," and respected him, "because they knew him to be honest, independent, learned, and clear-sighted."26 His many opinions were concise, straightforward, thoroughly researched and well reasoned.27 Such opinions include Adams v. Perry (43 NY 487), Kinee v. Ford (43 NY 587), Madison Ave. Baptist Church v. Baptist Church (46 NY 131), White v. Howard (46 NY 144), and Clinton v. Myers (46 NY 511).
During the Court's 1875 summer recess, Grover died at his home in Angelica. His death was "undoubtedly hastened by severe and unremitting judicial labor, carried on with too little regard to health."28
On August 24, 1875, one day after Grover's death, the New York Times reported that in the Supreme Court, General Term, Brooklyn, John H. Angell moved that in the memory of Judge Grover, the court should adjourn. Justice Gilbert granted the motion, stating in part:
"Many, many Judges of this State have obtained prominence, and among them Judge Grover stands preeminent. His name will go down in history with the names of Kent, Walworth, and others. Judge Grover was a man of conspicuous vigor, clearness of intellect, great scope and breadth of mind, reasonable degree of learning in his profession, and of marked distinctness and uprightness of character, not only as a Judge, but in all the relations of life."29
On September 21, 1875, Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sanford E. Church delivered a memorial to Judge Grover, recognizing both his distinctive character and his extraordinary ability:
"No doubt there were shades in his character; there will be when there are great prominences to cast them. He was very real and practical, and hence not pleased with forms, nor observant of conventionalities, or at times of courtesies. . . . There was, however, a well-spring of sympathy and kindness, of which those who know best among his rural neighbors, who have ever found him a ready and unpaid adviser, a discreetly generous helper, a most lenient creditor. . . . "His rugged constitution and physical frame of power, at last yielded to the silent, weary, unremitted labor, too seldom alternating with the relaxations common with men of less assiduity of pursuit. He died before the measure of his years was full, and with a regretful sense, that there should have yet more time been spared to him, for yet more service. But he has left a noble fame, the record of a life clear and clean in its aims, pure in public ways and private paths, full of busy, useful labors, and of duties well discharged, and crowned with honor."30
Chadbourne's Public Service of the State of New York echoed these sentiments:
"Judge Grover was a man of large professional learning, untiring industry, and an almost unparalleled power of application; of unerring common sense and a keen appreciation of humor; of quick perception and broad comprehension; of sturdy honesty and boldly independent judgment; of a deep love of right and justice and hearty scorn of wrong; holding his opinions with extreme fierceness, but candid and reasonable in spirit; sometimes restive under argument, always patient in investigation; of plain manners and blunt demeanor, sacrificing not to the graces, and but little to the usages of polite society; of robust and massive frame, heavy in movement but not devoid of a single dignity; careless in his dress, unostentatious, democratic. Like Othello, he was rude in speech; like Ulysses, he was subtly wise."31
Grover's will devised the house, lots, furniture, carriages, harnesses, horse, cow, $5,000 stock in the Angelica bank, and $22,000 cash to his wife. He left $5,000 to his sister-in-law Miss Clara Whitmore (presumably Emily Whitmore Grover's sister), a gold watch to Martin Grover Whitmore, and $3,100 to his brother Evartus and unnamed sister. Emily Grover died in 1893. The couple had no children.
Judge Grover is buried in Angelica Cemetery in Angelica, New York, with what one imagines to be an eternal smile on his face.
Judge Grover and his wife Emily Grover died without leaving any children.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A new survey of more than 5,000 singles revealed the pet peeves, preferences and rules for the dating scene in 2014.
"Singles in America," created by Match.com, broke down its findings based on categories such as the first date, dating etiquette, sex and money.
According to the survey, 51 percent of singles have imagined wedding bells ringing on the first date.
However, the first date can easily go downhill based on three things. The survey found the top three things used to judge a date are:
- Grammar
- Confidence
- Teeth
After the date, men are more likely to follow up the next day. No matter who follows up, more than half of singles want the followup to come in the form of a phone call, according to the survey.

In order to find the ideal match, 100 percent of women and 98 percent of men require respect. Woman are apparently pickier when it comes to finding the "ideal" match. The survey found most women would not date someone "less intellectual or shorter than themselves." Most single men in the study said they wouldn't mind dating someone who makes more money or who is more educated than themselves.
Singles weren't afraid to dish the dirt about their sex lives. Two-thirds of singles wanted to have more sex in 2014. However, there is apparently a limit. Only about a quarter of men and women surveyed wanted to have sex every day of the week.
Singles looking for the right time to have sex might want to wait for prime time. The preferred time to have sex is at 10 p.m., according to the survey.
Finding Mr. or Mrs. Right is getting expensive, too. Match.com reports single Americans spend $82 billion every year on their dating lives. Men spend the most money on personal entertainment while women spend the most money on new outfits.
In what may be the strangest findings of the survey, Match.com found "41 percent of redheads" and "singles with Android phones" both "achieve orgasm over 90 percent of the time."

What's the point of having a cool classic car if you never get to enjoy sitting behind the wheel and seeing the open road stretching out in front of you? No knock on the beautiful cars that are built and transported around like precious works of art. Those creations are always a treat to look at and admire for their craftsmanship and details. But to keep such a creation locked away from its native habitat almost seems criminal. Jesse Rocha didn't want that, so when he built his '57 hardtop, he had driving in mind.
"My wife bought this car for me 20 years ago. I left the trunk as is, so when we go to the Pomona swap meet, I can carry my Red Rider wagon and all the parts for my other projects I am working on. My wife and I take this car everywhere. It was meant to be on the street."
Jesse's wife found the Bel Air sitting at a used car dealer in south El Monte, California. The car was black with a white top and in pretty good shape, a solid, basic '57 with factory power windows, and 350/TH350 drivetrain. Since Jesse's birthday was fast approaching, his wife knew the sport coupe would be the best present she could get him. Once it was in the driveway, he looked the Tri-Five over, came up with his plan, and jumped into action.
Jesse wanted classic power for his hardtop, so together with his son they built a 383 stroker using a stock 350 block, Scat forged crank, Speed Pro pistons, and factory iron Vortec heads. The cam is an Erson flat tappet with .488/.488 lift, with Comp Cams roller rockers, and an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake and Holley 750 cfm carb. The combo cranks out 400 HP, which goes through a 3,400-stall converter on a built 700-R4 trans. The rear is a Moser 9-inch unit with 3.50 gears. Exhaust disposal is handled by Hedman hedders and a Flowmaster exhaust system.
The chassis is basically stock, with the factory control arms still in place, but with CPP drop spindles to lower the stance, and a CPP four-wheel disc brake kit to make sure the shoebox stops.
The body was stripped down, repaired, straightened, then sprayed in PPG's Blackberry hue by Mike's Body in Clarmont, California. Mike's also sprayed the black, purple and magenta ghost flames, before covering the whole thing in clearcoat. All the factory stainless and chrome trim was either straightened and polished or replaced.
For the interior, Jesse didn't think the original design needed any tweaking, so he ordered up new coverings for the factory seats in reproduction silver vinyl/black and silver pattern cloth material. The factory speedo, temp and fuel gauges were left in place, and supplemented with a set of Auto Meter readouts in the traditional mounting point under the glove compartment. Even the factory Bel Air stering wheel was restored and bolted back in place, and Jesse used factory '57 buttons for the power windows. And for really lighting things up at shows and cruises, Jesse installed a flame thrower kit in the exhaust.
Besides the '57, he also has a '67 RS Camaro that is his daily driver, and a '68 Camaro RS/SS convertible for when the weather's right. But, with its classic and elegant body lines, the '57 stands apart. And Jesse plans on driving it for a long time.

A play about Amy Winehouse has been abruptly canceled after her father reportedly withheld permission for the production to use the late singer's music and photographs of her.
"Amy" was scheduled to start performances Jan. 30 at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen. The company's official website said the play has been canceled but did not provide any additional information.
The Associated Press reported Monday that Winehouse's father, Mitch, halted the production by refusing to give permission to use the British singer's music as well as photographs of her. The AP said that the theater had earlier been granted a permit to perform the play by the Danish copyright agency Koda.

Winehouse died last year at the age of 27 of apparent alcohol poisoning. The British pop singer had a well-known problem with substance abuse and alcoholism. In the year since her death, Mitch Winehouse has published a book titled "Amy, My Daughter."
The play was written by a group of 11 Danish playwrights, according to the AP.
Separately, a portrait of Winehouse by the renowned artist Marlene Dumas was acquired by Britain's National Portrait Gallery on Monday. Officials said in a statement that the painting was made shortly after the singer's death in July 2011.
"Amy Blue" was painted by Dumas after she heard of the singer's death. The artist was inspired by existing photographs of Winehouse on the Internet, according to the National Portrait Gallery. A video featurette on the painting can be viewed below.

Captain's ReportCrestliner 1750 Fish HawkBy Gary P. JoyceCrestliner's 2006 1750 Fish Hawk is a bass boat-style craft that has – excluding a bunch of very nice design touches – two things going for it: It's definitely a bass boat and although it falls into that category it isn't going to cost you an arm and leg. Crestliner has been in the boat building business for 60 years, and the marque has been synonymous with innovation in the aluminum boat market. The 1750 Sport Angler features a welded hull via Crestliner's UniWeld system (a computer controlled method), this provides a solid no-flex hull and it comes with a lifetime warranty on the welds for the original owner and three years on virtually everything else. Crestliner is certainly putting their money where their, er, ad campaign is. The bottom and transom is .125 gauge aluminum and the sides are .090.The BuildBecause the 1750 is welded, it lacks those Frankenstein-esque bolts all over the place – which for those of you who transit rough dirt (or potholed city) roads does away with a chance of the hull fastening loosening up. Adding toughness from the inside out, the 1750's stringer system is interlocking and then welded to the hull and every hull plate features a tongue-in-channel method of connecting before welding. The 1750 features a 12-degree variable deadrise designs, which provides a smoother, stabler and drier ride than constant degree deadrise hulls (The difference: a variable tapers from sharp entry forward to softer aft, whereas a constant deadrise remains the same the length of the hull.) In the case of the 1750 this translates to predictable handling, no squirrelly I'm-gonna-blow-over feeling and, powered by a Mercury 115 OptiMax, fast planning capabilites. Other unique features (to all the larger Crestliners as well as the 1750) include a welded-on integrated keel and integral reverse chines; the latter knock spray down and are part of the hull design rather than an after-thought add-on. The chine is an extruded piece as well. The gunwales are also extruded sections welded on, rather than simple welded on plate. The gunwale extrusions have allowed Crestliner to come up with a new cover fastening system for the 2006 1750 that does away with those ubiquitous soft spots of all covers – the snaps. The 1750's gunwales have a thin slot running completely around the boat that the J-shaped cover edge fits into. (Those of you with whitewater kayaking experience can best relate this to a J-shaped rand connecting your spray skirt to the kayak.) Some hidden benefits of all this design work and strength is the way the boat looks: because there is so little flex, the baked-on Armor Guard paint won't flex and thus the paint doesn't crack, chip or peel as on riveted boats. The clean hull also provides clean water for fishfinders to work better, as well as cleaner water for more effective propulsion. Other features you'll find on the 1750 include their Concept DX seating, an ergonomically designed seat that is said to provide 33 percent better weight/compression than most other seats; they are also 100 percent waterproof. Crestliner sprays under the aluminum lids with a coating that effects durability as well as noise transmission (in some of their smaller craft the entire boat is sprayed with this substance called Crest-Liner). Great, but What about Fishing?The 1750 we tested had a single helm pod complete with fighter-style nacelle windshield, a very well laid out instrument panel with a big Smart Craft gauge and a tachometer, centered, the temperature, voltmeter and tilt gauge in a separate pod to the right, rocker arm switches with circuit breakers and a tilt, padded steering wheel. An optional Lowrance X-51 fishfinder is located to the right of the Smart Craft/tach and falls readily to eye. Below the two main gauges are two carbon fiber looking panels that look like a good place to install an aftermarket AM-FM-CD radio and/or a VHF or CB, your choice. There's also room for mounting one under the engine gauge pod. Technically speaking the second pod of instruments is redundant because the Smart Craft gauge can provide all that info (and more) plus the tach info as well, but a back up system won't kill you.Optional Fishing PackageOur 1750 had the Contender fishing package, worth opting for. The forward cockpit featured a Minn Kota Power Drive trolling motor, a box for all the accoutrements required for foot-pedal operation of it, a twin tackle box locker in the nose, a good flat surface for casting and a center-mounted hole for a Concept seat. There's lined (but not waterproof) storage in the floor (a fold down net is located in the starboard locker) as well as a locking livewell and net fronted storage under the forward gunwales. In the middle of the deck, next to the helm is a very well executed locking, vented rod holder; it will hold four seven foot rods, or five five footers. The rod holder openings are oval so as not to mess up rod guides, another nice touch, as is the piston-assisted lid. A twin battery box for the MinnKota is located beneath the rod holder.Aft DeckThe aft deck replicated the fishability of the forward deck. There is twin door access to the livewell (there is a bait bag under one door) and the deck has a plug-in for one seat; there is also room for seats to be installed next to the helm (one) and behind the helm (two). We'd say three seats – total –will do it for most.There is more rod storage under the port gunwale. A lock box (this probably won't be used for rod storage since it's a relatively cavernous open locker) with hook-and-loop rod holders atop the box. The opposite side carries your fire extinguisher and has netting for aerated storage. With the exception of the tackle box locker in the nose all the hinges are visible piano hinges, again, another nice touch.If It's Common Sense…Do you really need a 400 horsepower tournament boat? Sure you want one, especially with the matching truck, trailer and outfit, but let's be serious. The 115 horse 1750 we tested ran 0 to 30 in 9.1 seconds and hit 40.7 mph at top end. That's fast enough to get you anywhere you want to fish and back before time is up – or your better half throws dinner in the dog bowl. And what you save in gas money, you can spend on that $400 baitcaster you've been itching for – or a pretty darn good dinner for the aforementioned food tosser. If you want a fast, nimble, solid, well-thought-out fishing machine with a lot of nice touches you won't find on more expensive boats, have a look at the Crestliner 1750 Fish Hawk. Besides, a colorful suit and a matching boat/trailer/truck combo won't make you a better fisherman.

Kyoto-based developer Q-Games has brought its home console PSN PixelJunk experience to the PSP with PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe. It's a first for the company, and perhaps, a last.
Q-Game head Dylan Cuthbert has stated that he doesn't think the company will port anything else to the PSP, telling Kotaku, "We thought the psp-go and the psp-3000 were safe but a rip "that works on psp-3000s" went up on the torrent servers the day after we released PJMD."
The PSP port is optimized for the PSP screen and features all the content of the PSN tower defense original as well as a brand new island.
Concerned about piracy, Q-Games decided to release the game as digital-only, but to no avail. "Seeing it up on torrentz.com the following day was very depressing," states Cuthbert.
A UMD version of the game was released, but in Asia, and it was not the full game. The pirated versions appearing online are the full game.
Piracy aside, if PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe isn't a big PSP hit for Q-Games, then porting games over to the PSP could very well be more trouble than they're worth.

I've been on a roll recently at the Ritzy with superb live bands playing - last night Bucimis (3 members of She'Koyokh) backed Bulgarian vocalist Eugenia Georgieva and collectively made magnificent music. As Jamie notes elsewhere, when "world" music as good as this is created in front of you the scene sounds as rich as it has ever been.
At the very end of November I have Adam & Nikki of this parish teaming up for the first time. As most of you here are aware, Adam is a master guitarist who can make the instrument speak like very few can. But did you know that Nikki has a gorgeously languid voice and is a beautifully natural soul singer? I didn't until I heard her perform at the start of the year. She handled standards like Willin' and Dark End Of The Street with aplomb while stretching out on original songs that were very moving.
The teaming of these 2 forumistas is going to be a really exciting - and, I believe, inspiring - concert. And one that pays tribute to Charlie's enduring influence and spirit in bringing us lot together. I hope some of you will make it down to SW8. Free entry. Event 7.30-11pm.

August 10, 2012 03:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email If $10 per bushel corn and $20 per bushel soybeans seemed unfathomable a month ago, try $17 corn and $55 soybeans this month. According to Terry Roggensack, founding principal of the Hightower Report, prices that high can't be ruled out. Roggensack was a commentator on the CME Group's Aug. 9 conference call ahead of August's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE). He looked at the price highs set in 1973, the last time the world corn and soybean supply situation was as tight as it is today, and extrapolated in constant dollars what prices would need to be today to ration demand. His answer: $17.59 for corn and $55.09 for soybeans. And that doesn't factor in inflation. Balance sheets don't work The other commentator on the call, Dan Basse, president of AgResources, declined to provide a price ceiling for either corn or soybeans. "The cash market will tell us how high prices will go," says Basse. "I can't figure out the balance sheet." The numbers don't work, he adds. The hottest July on record in the lower 48 states and one of the driest ever has destroyed much of the nation's corn and soybean crops. Roggensack estimates that many fields will be zeroed out for insurance purposes. Some reports from irrigated cornfields, he says, are that yields are 20% below expectations. Basse also thinks the final corn yield could be below or near 120 bushels. Slice 4 million harvested acres from USDA's projections and corn production would drop to between 10 billion and 10.5 billion bushels, which means corn would need to go to $9.85 to nearly $11 to ration current demand. "This leaves us with in a big, big problem: Who's going to go without? Is it the livestock guy? Is it the exporter? Is it the ethanol producer? Our bet at the moment is that the livestock people will take the brunt," Basse says. He also expects corn exports to drop to levels not seen since 1974. "We have balance sheets that are almost unsolvable," he adds. Soybean fields, which were planted early along with cornfields this year, have also sustained irreparable damage. "There are a lot of reports of fields with no beans coming out of the pods," Roggensack says. To make matters worse, South America, where the 2011-12 soybean crop was 807 million bushels lower than the 2010-11 crop, is now running low on soybeans. "Soybeans could have a massive run higher," he adds. UN takes note The current supply-driven markets are not a U.S. issue alone. In the past year, the world's projected supply of grains has dropped by 180 million metric tons. "This is shocking. This is getting people at the United Nations very concerned," says Basse. "The poor in the world are going to see tremendous pressure on their budgetary expenditure for calories. This has become a very scary situation, particularly for those in the world who are impoverished." No longer is this a "what price can you buy the grain for" type of market, says Basse. It is now a "do you have the grain" type of market. "There will likely be a long tail on this drought that will carry into the winter," he adds. A late frost will be critical to maximize U.S. corn and soybeans production, soil moistures need to be replenished, the winter wheat crop needs to be good, and weather in South America and Australia also needs to be nearly perfect. "Any kind of price weakness will result in a buying opportunity," Basse says. But that will be difficult for livestock producers to swallow when corn prices are already above $8 per bushel and soybeans are higher than $16.

How to Undertake Creep Analysis with Finite Elements
This book is aimed at analysts who have a minimum of one year's experience of static elastic stress analysis and who wish to undertake a creep analysis. Whilst elastic/plastic stress analysis commonly involves designing a structure to sustain a load, creep analysis is used to design a structure for a life . Time is the important new variable – just as, in fatigue analysis, a number of cycles is the important new variable.
Creep is the permanent time-dependent deformation occurring in structures. Lead creeps at room temperature and figure 1.1 illustrates creep in lead pipes that have carried waste from a Cambridge College kitchen for many years.
All materials can creep but attention will be focused here on the creep of metals. A parallel NAFEMS How to book on the creep of visco-elastic materials by Oyadiji deals with the rubber and glass regimes of rubbers, elastomers, polymers, epoxies and plastics.
Chapter 2 assesses the impact of creep calculations on engineering decisions and chapter 3 gives a history of the study of creep and its calculation. Chapter 4 provides a summary of the metal physics of creep and its relation to metal lattice weaknesses. Creep becomes important when design and operation are affected and chapter 5 lists some of the major creep Finite Element calculations that have been made over the last ten years or so.Creep Finite Element calculations require creep data to be turned into rules. For new materials, you may well find the analysis of the creep data the most difficult part of your work.
Chapter 6 will help you to build up a description of single and multiple creep tensile tests and to understand the impact of scatter.
Chapter 7 addresses two quandaries that must be faced when extending tensile data to real problems – the extension of tensile data to three dimensions and the effect of changing stress.
Chapter 8 gives a non-rigorous account of how the creep equations are integrated numerically and the difficulties that arise from proceeding in discrete steps. The chapter covers the meaning of the key new words of the subject (e.g. stability limit, error measure and error tolerance).
When you have taken all this information aboard, it is time to do some elementary creep FE calculations. There are two basic types of creep calculation – the tensile test (up to large strain) and the corresponding relaxation test on a tensile specimen. Two of the original NAFEMS Benchmarks devised by Becker [1993] are used and key points of the solution are discussed in chapter 9.
When you have finished your calculations you will be asked what checks you have done to establish that the answers are correct. This very difficult question is addressed in chapter 10 covering the verification and validation of solutions.
Research into creep at all levels from the atomic level to the large structure is very active and two topics (faster computing and failure) have been chosen for chapter 11 to give the reader some idea of this effort.
Chapter 12 provides some ways in which you may get help.
Some concluding remarks (chapter 13) and acknowledgements (chapter 14) are added together with sufficient references (chapter 15) to form a reasonable bibliography.
