A military dog seized by the Taliban in Afghanistan doesn't belong to U.S. forces, contrary to the Taliban's claim, but rather belongs to the British, a U.S. military official said Thursday.
The official declined to go on record because it is the policy of the NATO alliance that each country makes its own announcement about its situation.
The Taliban distributed a video of the dog in an elaborate harness and contended in links to its Twitter account that the "mujahideen seized US dog" during an "attempted nighttime raid" by U.S. forces on December 23 in the eastern province of Laghman.
International Security Assistance Force officials weren't immediately available for comment.

First, thanks for all the stories of your favorite UH football moments in Robertson Stadium history. I will be contacting some of you in the near future for a story on the final season of the stadium.
I have narrowed the list (sorry the great concerts didn't make it) and provided some details and links. Please vote for your favorite – and if there is a big one that should be on the list feel free to cast a write-in vote in the comment section.
Each week during the season we will do a countdown of the reader's picks for the top moments in the stadium's history. The countdown will begin with the game day preview for the Sept. 1 opener against Texas State.
Vote below.
Sept. 21, 1946: Cougars play inaugural game at stadium
Then known as Houston Public School Stadium, the University of Houston played its inaugural game at the venue – a 13-7 loss to Southwestern Louisiana. The Cougars' first win at the stadium would come three weeks later, 34-0 over Texas A&I. The Cougars would play there through 1950 before moving games to newly-constructed Rice Stadium.
Sept. 9, 1995: Houston returns to Robertson Stadium
UH fell to Louisiana Tech 19-7, but the Cougars were back playing at their on-campus home for the first time since 1964. They spent the previous three decades playing at the Astrodome.
Nov. 9, 1996: UH beats No. 20 Southern Miss 56-49 in overtime
Antowain Smith scored six touchdowns, including a 12-yard run in overtime, as the Cougars kept their hopes alive of claiming a share of the Conference USA title. The following week UH beat Louisville to claim the league's spot in the Liberty Bowl.
Nov. 9, 2002: Reynolds sets single-game rushing mark
Joffrey Reynolds rushed for a school-record 300 yards in the Cougars' 54-48 triple-overtime loss to East Carolina. Reynolds' rushing total broke the previous mark of 282, set by Paul Gipson against Tulsa in 1968.
Sept. 20, 2003: UH beats Mississippi State for first signature win of Briles era
There would eventually be bigger wins, but after 10 losing seasons in the previous 12 seasons, the first-year coach Art Briles picked up a signature win by beating the Bulldogs 42-35 in Week 4. The Cougars would finish the regular season 7-5 and play in the Hawaii Bowl, their first postseason appearance since 1996.
Sept. 23, 2006: Houston beats a Big 12 team for first time
Kevin Kolb threw for 313 yards and four touchdowns, and Jackie Battle rushed for 108 yards as the Cougars knocked off Oklahoma State 34-25 for their first win over a Big 12 team since the breakup of the Southwest Conference.
Dec. 1, 2006: Cougars beat Southern Miss, claim C-USA title
Kevin Kolb and Biren Ealy hooked up for a pair of second-half touchdowns as the Cougars beat Southern Miss 34-20 for their first Conference USA title since 1996, the league's inaugural season.
Oct. 13, 2007: Avery, Alridge make history
Rice got a double dose as Donnie Avery set a Conference USA record with 346 receiving yards and Anthony Alridge rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns in a 56-48 loss to the Cougars. It was the first time in major college history that teammates had 300-plus receiving yards and 200-plus rushing yards in the same game.
Nov. 15, 2008: Houston crushes No. 24 Tulsa
Behind six touchdown passes from Case Keenum, the Cougars destroyed the Golden Hurricanes 70-30. "It was an embarrassing loss for us," Tulsa coach Todd Graham said.
Sept. 26, 2009: UH rallies for thrilling win over Texas Tech
Case Keenum scored on a quarterback draw with 49 seconds left, giving the No. 17 Cougars a 29-28 victory against Texas Tech. The Cougars' game-winning drive covered 16 plays and 95 yards – including a key fourth-down catch by Patrick Edwards – to erase a 28-23 deficit. The win came a week after the Cougars upset No. 5 Oklahoma State on the road and marked the first time UH was ranked since 1991.
Oct. 31, 2009: No. 15 Houston survives Southern Miss 50-43
Case Keenum threw for a career-high 559 yards, the most ever at Robertson Stadium, and five touchdowns, the last a 21-yarder to Patrick Edwards with 21 seconds remaining, as No. 15 Houston escaped with a 50-43 over Southern Miss. The Cougars led 43-29 with less than seven minutes remaining before Southern Miss rallied to tie the game with 57 seconds left.
Oct. 22, 2011: Case Keenum breaks FBS total offense record
With a 30-yard pass to Justin Johnson in the first quarter against Marshall, quarterback Case Keenum became the Football Bowl Subdivision's career leader in total offense. He broke the record 16,910 yards set by Hawaii's Timmy Chang from 2000-04.
Oct. 29, 2011: Keenum throws nine TDs in rout of rival Rice
Case Keenum threw for nine touchdowns as the No. 18 Cougars remained perfect with a 73-34 rout of the Owls. The nine touchdowns gave him 139 for his career, passing Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell's FBS record 134. Patrick Edwards caught five of the touchdown passes and finished with 318 yards receiving, and Tyron Carrier tied the NCAA career record for career kickoff returns for touchdowns by taking the opening kickoff 100 yards.
Nov. 10, 2011: ESPN College GameDay visits UH campus
With Lee Corso and the gang on campus, the 11th-ranked Cougars did not disappoint with a convincing 37-7 win over SMU that improved their record to 11-0.

Chinese CCTV Surveillance Defeated By Chinese Smog
from the police-state-problems dept
Techdirt has often written about CCTV surveillance, and its many pitfalls. But according to this story in the South China Morning Post, the provincial capital Harbin, in north-eastern China, has a very particular problem in this regard:
Last month visibility in Harbin dropped to below three metres because of heavy smog. On days like these, no surveillance camera can see through the thick layers of particles, say scientists and engineers.
It's hard to believe that terrorists will hang around, checking the local visibility, before deciding to launch their attacks. It's more likely that the issue here is the local police freaking out when they find they can't spy on what ordinary citizens get up to. But never fear, the Chinese government is on it:
To the authorities, this is a serious national security concern. Beijing has invested heavily to build up a nationwide surveillance network that lets police watch every major street and corner in main cities.
But with smoggy days becoming more frequent, the effectiveness of the system has been greatly compromised. Some fear terrorists may choose a smoggy day to launch attacks.
The National Natural Science Foundation of China funded two teams, one civilian and one military, to study the issue and has told the scientists involved to find solutions within four years.
Here's the kind of thing they are investigating:
Professor Zhang Li, an image processing expert with the department of electronic engineering of Tsinghua University, said the researchers might have to think out of the box.
Or, alternatively, they could just cut down on the pollution, which would be good for people's health in other ways.
"On the smoggiest days, we may need to use radar to ensure security in some sensitive areas," he said.
Microwaves or electromagnetic waves could travel through smog easily and bounce back if they hit an object. With the help of good software, sharp and clear images could be produced. But a radar camera would also generate radiation that harms people's health.

This medication is used to reduce the risk of bleeding in the bladder (hemorrhagic cystitis), which is a very serious side effect of treatment with a cancer chemotherapy drug called ifosfamide. Mesna helps to protect the lining of the bladder against damage from ifosfamide. The body breaks down ifosfamide to form a product that can harm the bladder, and mesna works by making this product less harmful. However, mesna does not change ifosfamide's anti-cancer effects.
How to use Mesna Tablet
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking mesna and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth. Follow the dosing schedule as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your body size and your dose of ifosfamide (or cyclophosphamide).
While taking this medication, drink at least a quart (4 cups or 1 liter) of liquid each day unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Doing so will also help to reduce the bladder side effects from ifosfamide.
Tell your doctor right away if you vomit within 2 hours of taking a dose. Your doctor will determine if you should repeat the dose or receive mesna by injection into a vein.
Mesna is very effective in reducing the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis in most patients. However, it may not work in a small number of patients. Therefore, tell your doctor right away if you notice that your urine is pink, red, or bloody.
Side Effects
Headache, flushing, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, sensitive skin, or flu-like symptoms (such as sore throat, cough, body aches) may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fast heartbeat, swelling ankles/feet, muscle weakness.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest pain.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: overactive immune system diseases (autoimmune disorders) that may increase your risk for a mesna allergy (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, nephritis).

During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Since this medication is given with a cancer chemotherapy drug, breast-feeding while using mesna is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use.
This medication may interfere with a certain laboratory test (for urinary ketones), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.

Do not share this medication with others.
This medication does not protect you from other side effects of ifosfamide. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information on how to manage other side effects.
Small amounts of blood in the urine cannot be seen without a microscope. Therefore, a laboratory test to check for blood in your urine should be performed before each dose of ifosfamide to monitor how well mesna is working. Consult your doctor for more details.
Missed Dose
It is important to take each dose of this medication as scheduled. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember and contact your doctor for further instructions. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Gucci Jackie Soft Bucket BagCategories:Other Brands
You know when you go shopping and you're actually searching for a shoulder bag, and then find a tote bag that you really love, only ending up wishing that it was a shoulder bag.
Or similar experience?
That sucks!
Like there is a universal rule for shopping – things that you want, you can't find. And things that you do not want, it's everywhere.
But here is the good news; usually when a designer brand knows out that something is working, they will expand the collection with other styles. Like the Gucci Jackie Soft Bag Collection, it stared with an innocent flap bag.
The community loves the Jackie Soft Flap Bag, so for the next season it's an obvious step to introduce the Jacky Soft Tote.
READ: Gucci Jackie Soft Flap Bag
The community loves it even more.
And so, we should design a bucket version – the Gucci Jackie Soft Bucket Bag.
Nowadays, the bucket bags are getting popular every day, especially when they are small or medium sized. These bags can store a lot of stuff and they are ideal for any situations like work, weekends or for school.
This bag is designed with two shoulder straps, one made in nylon and the other in suede. It features an attached zippered pouch and the edges are hand-painted. The famous closure in the center is called the 'piston closure'.
The small size is measured 8.5' x 10' x 6' (W x H x D) inches, priced at $2300 to $2600 USD, €1750 to €2000 euro via Gucci e-store.

Country singer Mindy McCready has died from an apparent suicide at the age of 37.
The past few years have been tumultuous for Mindy, as she battled drugs, alcohol and several previous suicide attempts. Mindy had recently spiraled after her boyfriend, David Wilson, allegedly killed himself on January 13th – his death is still under investigation. In early February Mindy's family went to court to request an emergency order to send Mindy to a treatment facility. The news broke tonight, via a close friend of the singer, that she had taken her own life.
Mindy is best known for her country music career, which brought her several top ten hits such as "Ten Thousand Angels", "Guys Do It All The Time" and more.
Mindy leaves behind two young sons, Zander, 6, and Zayne, 10 months.
Such a tragic ending. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

The boat that housed the Denver Broncos for their media session in Jersey City, N.J., on Wednesday morning was rocking, but the media still came knocking for another 90 minute session with the team.
Peyton Manning had to stop and hold on to his podium as he approached his seat aboard the "Cornucopia Majesty" while the boat swayed back and forth on the Hudson River.
"I think I'm gonna throw up," tight end Jacob Tamme said.
Coach John Fox only can hope that his practice is smoother. The Broncos will practice in full pads Wednesday, and they plan to do it outdoors on FieldTurf at the Jets facility. After more than a few media sessions, Broncos players are ready to get back to work.
And it's not a moment too soon. Manning was discussing the ending of Sopranos and his thoughts on Boardwalk Empire's Nucky Thompson by the end of his media session early this morning.

LITTLE ROCK — A federal lawsuit filed by parents and grandparents of children in the Blytheville School District alleges the district has denied the constitutional rights of students by opting out of the state's new school choice law.
Blytheville was one of 22 school districts that notified the state Department of Education by Friday's deadline that they planned to opt of Act 1227 of 2013. The new law replaced the 1989 Public School School Choice Act that a federal judge in Little Rock struck down last year because it contained a race restriction on student transfers, which the judge said violated the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law.
The decision has been appealed to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis.
Act 1227 stipulates that districts under desegregation orders can opt out out of the new by April 1, but because the law wasn't signed by Gov. Mike Beebe until mid-April the Department of Education gave districts a May 17 deadline to let them know if they planned to opt out for the 2013-2014 school year.
The lawsuit against the Blytheville School District, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock, argues that the cases the district cites for opting out of the new law fail to meet the opt-out requirements under Act 1227. It asks for a temporary injunction until the case is resolved.
"Blytheville School District has acted in bad faith and in opposition to the laws and public policy of the State of Arkansas in connection with the actions described in this complaint," the lawsuit alleges, adding that the district "is motivated at least in part by race in depriving plaintiffs and their children of the benefits of school choice under the act."
Blytheville Superintendent Richard Atwill, who did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking comment, told the Arkansas News Bureau earlier this month that the school board passed a resolution opting out of the new law because the district is under two federal mandates.
The first, he said, is a desegregation order from 1978 and the second is a Voting Civil Rights Act case from 1996.
"The Civil Rights Voters Act is still subject to court order," Atwill said. "Under the desegregation case, it's my understanding that the court still retains jurisdiction."
In its letter notifying the state Department of Education that it planned to opt out of the new school law, the district also cited the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown V. Board of Education, which ended racial segregation in public schools and served as the foundation for desegregation.
Little Rock Attorney Jess Askew, who is representing one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the Blytheville School District, said Tuesday that none of the cases cited by the Blytheville School District fit the criteria for opting out under the new law.
"Trying to claim an exemption … based on Brown v. Board of Education is, in my opinion, laughable," he said. "While it remains an enormously important legal decision in the history of American juris prudence, it is not the type of court order to which a school district in Arkansas is subject … for the exemption. The exemption is based on a current tense court order, not something that happened nearly 60 years ago."
Askew said the desegregation case referenced by the Blytheville School District was filed in 1970 and dismissed in 1978. As for the Voting Civil Rights Act case, he said that was different and had nothing to do with desegregation.
He also said the school district cannot opt out of the new school choice law for the 2013-2014 school year.
"Any school district that thinks it can opt out based on a restated deadline from the department of education is in effect trying to rewrite the law, and that is not permissible," he said.
Askew, who is also the attorney challenging the 1989 law now being appealed by the 8th Circuit, also said the state law does not allow for school districts to opt out for the 2013-2014.
Along with the Blytheville district, other school districts that advised the Department of Education by Friday's deadline that would be opting out 0f Act 1227 during the 2013-2014 year are Arkadelphia, Camden Fairview, Cutter Morning Star, Dollarway, El Dorado, Forrest City, Fountain Lake, Helena-West Helena, Hope, Hot Springs, Jessieville, Junction City, Lake Hamilton, Lakeside in Chicot County, Little Rock, Marvell-Elaine, Mountain Pine, Pulaski County Special, South Conway, Stephens and Texarkana.

Gun Supporters Dig In Their Heels
Vice President Biden is expected to make his recommendations about ways to curb gun violence Tuesday. Over the weekend, the protagonists played out the debate on the Sunday TV shows.
You heard the reference there to Vice President Biden, who's supposed come out with gun recommendations this week. Let's talk about that and more with Cokie Roberts, who joins us most Mondays.
Cokie, good morning.
COKIE ROBERTS, BYLINE: Hi, Steve.
INSKEEP: Any chance of real change here?
ROBERTS: It's going to be very, very tough. Vice President Biden meets today with House members. And what we're hearing over the weekend, lots of people just digging in and very, very familiar arguments. The pro-gun groups have gotten some support from reports of people buying guns and signing up with the National Rifle Association in large numbers since the Newtown tragedy, so they're pretty confident that there will be no assault weapons ban passed by this Congress.
Maybe a national background check, maybe a ban on those magazines that deliver huge numbers of bullets, but even those things seem very difficult to get to. You heard former Congressman Tiahrt just talking about a big package taking on the media, mental health questions. If that really happened, if there really were a move to do something about the mental health treatment situation in this country, that would be huge, but I'm not holding my breath.
INSKEEP: Well, then there's the question whether Congress will even have time for this. The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, has been warning that every issue other than the national debt is going to be secondary in this Congress. We have a battle over the debt ceiling looming again and at least one of the supposed ideas to get rid of that problem is off the table.
ROBERTS: Well, this is the craziest idea for a trillion dollar coin and the fact that it even gained some, excuse me, currency was really just...
INSKEEP: She's here all week, go on.
ROBERTS: ...shows you how we are off on this. The Treasury, over the weekend, did say that they were not going to mint such a coin. Some Democrats are calling on the president to invoke the 14th Amendment saying, you know, the United States will pay its debts. Look, the whole point about not going into default is to convince people that the United States stands by its credit and all of these ideas don't exactly inspire confidence in the people.
So the president is saying, yes, Congress has to do this. You can't do something sketchy. There are new reports that we will hit the debt ceiling by mid-February. Republicans in the house are now talking about a shutdown of government or a default against those spending cuts.
INSKEEP: Okay. Well, how did this threat to not pay the bills become so prominent? Because the debt ceiling has been around for decades, it's been complained about for decades, but until 2011, it was just raised.
ROBERTS: No, that's not true. That's not true.
INSKEEP: All right, yes, raised after much, much complaint. Go on.
ROBERTS: Much complaint. I mean, in the last year of Carter's presidency, all 154 Republicans voted no and then the next year with Ronald Reagan as president they voted 150 to 36 in favor of an increase and the Democrats have played exactly the same game. In 2004, with George W. Bush as president, House Democrats voted unanimously against raising the debt ceiling. In 2006, so did Mr. Obama and all the other Senate Democrats.
Now the president says that that was a political vote. No kidding. That is, in fact, the vote that others are taking now and, of course, he's railing under it. But this has been a tough one, always. The only difference now is everything is more partisan and everything is more polarized so it just makes everything harder.
INSKEEP: Well, this is my question, Cokie Roberts, there were these games, as you called them, but in the end it seemed it was accepted that it would be raised. Has it ceased to be a game? Are they not playing a game now?
ROBERTS: Well, the president says he's not going to negotiate, so he says he's not going to play the game. Republicans are saying, you know, then they are going to absolutely demand the spending cuts so they are saying they're not going to play a game. But, I mean, you can call it what you want to call it. It's going to have to happen that the debt ceiling goes up, otherwise the United States can't pay its bills.
INSKEEP: Cokie, thanks very much. That's Cokie Roberts who joins us most Monday mornings with analysis.

Prayer Request....
Monday, February 27, 2006 No comments
A week from today (Monday March 6th at 8:30am) my Mom goes in for her second major surgery in a year! This time, she really feels like the diagnosis is better (different scenario, different hospital, but same pre-op jitters), it's just the recovery time that is going to be a total pain (literally and figuratively).....and I think that is really getting to her. I'd really appreciate all of you sending up some extra prayers for her this week-that she will find calm as she enters these last few days before the surgery, and that all will go well and her recovery will be as great as it possibly can. She definitely has proven up through now that she bounces back really swiftly :O). She should be coming home from the hospital on Wednesday if all goes well, and we will know more once they send everything in for a 'biopsy'....I really think she should get some sort of frequent customer stamp card with like a free gown or a stethoscope or something cool if you get all your squares punches!
John Ross' Baptism
Sunday, February 26, 2006 No comments
This is the cutest baby ever -John Ross O. (I can say that b/c I don't think anyone checking this has actually HAD a baby yet, but those of you that are expecting, when your baby arrives, they can be tied for cutest). I drove down to Austin today to see him get Baptised (my second visit since his birth a little over four months ago, third if you count the shower where he gave me a kick "hello"). I took a couple of pictures with my camera, and a ton with Carla and Chris' camera. It was such a neat experience, almost two years ago I stood in this same church with the two of them as they got married. This is my favorite shot of all....after all the festivities were almost over (notice the stick up hair from the water running over his head and his little silk jacket and vest and a sock came off throughout the hour).... He was, OF COURSE, the cutest baby there....I want to move to Austin just so I can babysit and see him more....if he ever comes up missing, for the record, I don't have him. John Ross, Carla, and Chris make being a family look like a ton of fun :O)

This Weekend
Wednesday, February 22, 2006 No comments
I promise this will be the last 'animal picture' for awhile (yeah right)....in fact, for the next few weeks I've got 'big event's' with REAL PEOPLE I might could even post some info and pictures of....but this last weekend I kitty sat.....my cat nephew (or as I like to call it-my future cat if the streak continues the way it has been going). It was a 'wild' weekend for Bo (the cat).....he's really cute, he likes to sleep UNDER covers, and cat nap on your lap....but mostly he likes to chase anything that moves/ever moved/ever might have thought about moving/wasn't nailed down/was nailed down/took up matter in the universe etc....INCLUDING the dogs which were terrified of him. He has sharp claws, and they have VERY tiny brains...it was super fun, dog tails make fun play toys. He also played with the dog's toys all weekend....and Max did NOT learn to share in puppy training classes.....he's gone now, but I did capture one shot of him sleeping.....life is good FOR MY BROTHER THE FAVOR HOG....I did get more than four days notice that I needed to watch him this weekend (I think it was five). I guess I can be grateful he didn't get a puppy pitbull or something to watch.....;oP...Nah....it was fun....and there you have it, another exciting day in the life of Christy.
Muffin and Lilly
Muffin and Lilly would be totally offended (if they could talk.....no, they can't, but they can do much worse) that I didn't give them a spotlight on the blog....here they are.....Lilly, of course, has no idea that Muffin is sitting right behind her on the chair, or else she would be sniffing, harassing, chasing, or trying to lick her to death.

My Funny Valentine
Tuesday, February 14, 2006 4 comments
Can I talk about how cute my dogs are....my favorite Valentine yet!? They are so cute, that I had a new fence built in my backyard last weekend so they couldn't run away. A few years ago, if I read that a friend got a new fence as if it was exciting in an email or something....I'd probably evaluate the level of socializing you had going on but, as many of you are finding out with me, once you buy a house, the new updates are like telling people about your favorite vacations etc (and generally more expensive). So anyway, I've made it harder for the two convicts that reside in my backyard on sunny days (and on my couch on blustery days) more difficult to escape. I have no doubt that with a little time and a lot of resources Lilly can figure out a way for them to make a grand escape....but in the meantime.....I'm enjoying the new fence, and I 'get' to stain it next.....so this weekend I'll be taking a trip to Home Depot (don't worry there is plenty of room in my car if any of you are up for coming along on this adventure I like to call....upper twenties social life).....
Just in case you are keeping count, Max weighed in at 103 last time we went to the vet, and Lilly at 78 and counting.....they both think they are lap dogs.....Max likes to curl up in little balls like the above picture and pretend to be dainty.

February 11th
Sunday, February 12, 2006 No comments
My brother got married! Yes, it was a bit of a shock.....we had four days warning. The only thing behind the rush is an eager couple.....and in true Jason style, Jason decided what he wanted to do, and Jason went and got it done. My Mom and I did the best we could with four days....and everything went smoothly. One short informal, yet fun ceremony at the JOP, and a VERY small family reception at the house later....I've got an older sister (Tonya), a niece and a nephew. It'll be official when I steal her make up or something....I'm also excited about being an Aunt....even if you have to throw 'Step-" in before you finish the sentence.....but I've got lots of competition, they have four other aunts....which means I've got a lot of catching up to do. Xavier will be 12 in April, and Taylor turns 10 on February 27th. She's already let me know what she would like me to leave her in my will, so I guess it's official.....they are family....It's February 12th, and this year has already had more changes than the last five years have had in store for me.....I wonder where I'll be next December at the rate I'm going!

Jumping on the Bandwagon
I realized today there has to be an easier way to communicate the big...and little news....so that every conversation doesn't sound like EVERY other conversation I had throughout the day as I tell the same stories....so I'll just tell the 'same stories' here and then phone calls, dinners out, and get togethers can be spent:
- Venting over the stories heard.
- Adding small, fun details from day to day.
- Below the surface level.
I remembered I keep getting these 'blogs' from friends....and every once in awhile I go and check them, and I love to see the updates on other's lives....so here I go.....I've created a blog with no passwords necessary to remember in order to see what in the world is going on in Plano, Texas...and it was pretty user friendly, and relatively painless!

A North Carolina mom obviously hasn't learned that it's OK to tell your child no.
Odessa Clay, 30, said yes when her 11-year-old daughter begged for body art.
It's probably easy to say that none of this is surprising after looking at Clay's mug shot to the left. The woman is covered in tats herself. But most parents with tattoos have more sense than Clay, who seems to be flat-out clueless.
Clay didn't consider the fact that North Carolina state law prohibits minors from having tattoos and told WCTI News she assumed that getting inked is just like getting your ears pierced.
The inked-up mom gave her daughter the heart-shaped tattoo last fall. Clay used her own tools and told WCTI News that she numbed her daughter's arm so the child wasn't in pain.
Clay was arrested last month and she'll appear in court in October.
Tattooing someone under 18 in North Carolina is illegal. At least 45 states have laws prohibiting minors from getting tattoos, according to the National Conference of State Legislature. Thirty-eight states have laws that prohibit both body piercing and tattooing on minors without parental permission.
Clay's daughter certainly isn't the first minor to sport illegal body art. With the rise in home tattoo artists, aka "scratchers," more and more teens are getting tattoos with and without their parents' permission.
In rare cases parents are the ones giving their children tattoos. In 2010 Patty Jo Marsh and her husband Jacob Bartels of Georgia made national news when they used an old tattoo machine and a guitar string as a needle to give six of their seven children, ages 10 to 17, small cross-shaped tattoos.
Most minors who get tattooed seem to fall under the radar. Clay thinks she was arrested because her "ex-in-law told the police to retaliate against her for filing a complaint against her daughter's paternal grandfather," according to the Daily Mail.

HARTFORD, Conn - Yale's contingent at the Junior Olympics this weekend may have been a small one, but she put up a good fight. Freshman Jennifer Cohen placed 129th in the junior women's foil division.
Cohen competed despite an illness. Cohen, who has excelled at foil for the Bulldogs this season, was able to compete even though she missed the qualifying rounds due to a simultaneous Yale competition at Brandeis. She successfully petitioned and was able to attend her third Junior Olympics.
Cohen contributed a 3-0 record to the women's victory over Cornell on February 12.

Soon after Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) was shown to exhibit asymptotic freedom at short distances, it was realized that it might be possible to create a new form of matter at high temperatures (T d 150 MeV) in which hadrons dissolve and quarks and gluons become locally deconfined. Experiments have been carried out for the last two decades attempting to create this new form of matter, called ¡§quark-gluon plasma¡¨ (QGP), via high-energy collisions of large nuclei. In 2000, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) started operation at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US and results obtained from the first five years of RHIC operation provide the first convincing evidence for creation of the quark-gluon plasma in the laboratory. Measurements at RHIC show that the QGP is opaque to the passage of high-energy quarks and gluons and that interactions between the quarks and gluons in the QGP appears to be much stronger than initially expected. The estimated viscosity to entropy ratio of the QGP has been interpreted as showing that the QGP produced at RHIC is the most perfect fluid ever observed in the laboratory. Measurements from RHIC also suggest that the strong, coherent gluon fields in the incident nuclei play a significant role in the initial particle production and early evolution of the quark gluon plasma. Within the next few years, the large hadron collider will provide Pb+Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy of 5.5 TeV, thus opening a new frontier in the study of the QGP. I will provide a summary of the key experimental observables at RHIC, a discussion of their canonical interpretation and then discuss how measurements at the LHC can be used to test these interpretations.

"Made In The USA" - Is it glamourous, patriotic or just good business sense?
Nanette Lepore has been on the forefront and dedicated to this movement. Is this reinvigorating the NY and LA garment districts? Are more & more designers moving toward this movement? Even more importantly, are consumers looking at the labels or are they just interested in the retail price?
The Row, Rag & Bone, Oscar de la Renta, Lela Rose, J. Brand, Jason Wu, Racquel Allegra, Lauren Moshi & Velvet by Graham & Spencer are some the the dedicated Made In The USA designers.
What are fashion designers legal rights for protecting their designs?
Here is a small piece of the copyright law explained on http://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat072706.html
Design Protection Available under Existing Law
"Past proposals for sui generis design protection legislation have sprung from a perceived lack of adequate protection at the federal level for the designs of useful articles. All three branches of federal intellectual property protection - copyright, patent and trademark - protect certain aspects of useful articles. In the aggregate, however, they provide only limited coverage(10) for the following reasons:
First, copyright protection for the designs of useful articles is extremely limited. The design of a useful article(11) is protected under copyright "only if, and only to the extent that, such design incorporates pictorial, graphic, or sculptural features that can be identified separately from, and are capable of existing independently of, the utilitarian aspects of the article."(12) According to the House report accompanying the copyright revision bill, the test for separability can be met by showing either physical or conceptual separability.(13) The purpose of the test is "to draw as clear a line as possible between copyrightable works of applied art and uncopyrighted works of industrial design."(14) In keeping with this congressional intent, courts have applied the separability test in a way that excludes most industrial designs from copyright protection.(15) The Copyright Office has been similarly restrictive in its registration practices.(16)
Second, design patents are difficult and expensive to obtain, and entail a lengthy examination process. An applicant for a design patent must meet the generally applicable standards of invention(17) - e.g., novelty and non-obviousness.(18) Many original designs that provide a distinguishable and appealing variation over prior designs for similar articles will fail to meet these standards. Even under the reduced fee schedule for small entities, the filing fee for a design patent is $100, the issue fee is $400, and the maintenance fees over the life of the patent are $3,500. This does not include attorneys' fees for prosecuting the application. It is our understanding that the process of applying for a design patent can take several years, which exceeds the life expectancy of the market for many designs.
Third, trademark law does not provide general protection for designs as such. Rather, it protects certain product configurations that serve to identify the source of the product.(19) Aspects of product design that do not serve to identify source are not protected.(20) Even to the extent that a product configuration qualifies for protection under trademark law, the protection is only against uses of the design that confuse or mislead consumers, or create a substantial likelihood of such confusion.(21)"

The Plug – in Hybrid Electric Vehicle is the car of the future.
What's a plug - in hybrid electric vehicle?
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) can be charged with electricity like pure
electric vehicles or charged from a standard vehicle engine like a hybrid electric
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Benefits
PHEVs offer many benefits to consumers, fleets and the nation as a whole. Cutting
fuel use and costs, increasing our nation's energy security and
protecting the environment are just some of the benefits.
Cutting Fuel Use and Costs
Typically an equivalent amount of electricity costs less than gasoline or diesel
fuel. Since PHEVs use electric power more than standard hybrid vehicles and
their batteries are usually recharged overnight by plugging into a outlet, using
electricity from the grid, there is a significant reduction in fuel costs.
Reducing Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
Today, over 60% of our nation's oil comes from a foreign source. Nearly
two-thirds of this oil is used for transportation needs. Developing PHEVs and
other alternative fuel technologies will help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Researchers at the Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable
Energy are working to advance PHEV technology. The Richard
G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy is located at Indiana
University Purdue University of Indianapolis. Partners include:
Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL), Central Indiana
Clean Cities Alliance and Indiana University Purdue University
of Indianapolis. This research project is supported through a
grant from the Indiana Office of Energy & Defense Development.

How often do I need to have my chimneys cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends at least once a year. Even if you don't use your chimney much, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use.
What is creosote?
Creosote is a tar-like substance that builds up when you burn wood in your fireplace. It's a highly-flammable substance that lines the inside of the chimney and must be properly removed to reduce fire hazards. Certain woods, such as pine, can cause a more rapid buildup of creosote.
What are the benefits of having my chimney cleaned?
A number of benefits come from chimney cleanings, including:
- Reduction of fire hazards & increased home safety.

Maryland-based Sonatype has formed a new bond with Oracle with the intention of bringing Java.net open-source projects to the Maven Central Repository of open-source Java components.
To facilitate the migration to the Central Repository, Sonatype says it has donated a hosted version of its Sonatype Pro for Nexus repository manager to the Java.net community. This action has allowed Java.net project owners to automate and control synchronization of their Java.net project artifacts to the Central Repository. This in turn allows other developers to locate and download the appropriate artifacts from Java.net projects via Maven.
As a result of these developments, Sonatype insists that "any" Maven project can now leverage Java.net project assets to deliver applications faster and at a higher quality level. Java.net projects such as GlassFish and others are now included in the Central Repository.
"Before the migration work done by Sonatype and Oracle, developers would often have to create workarounds and advanced configurations to consume important Java components housed at Java.net," said Jason van Zyl, CTO and founder of Sonatype.
"Developers now have access to Java.net components directly from the Central Repository, requiring no debugging or additional configurations. Enterprise development teams will see faster builds, fewer integration problems, and improved control of software component usage," added van Zyl.
Since its creation in 2001, the Central Repository usage by open-source projects has accelerated, with coverage expected to exceed 90 percent by the end of 2011. Popular software development infrastructure products such as NetBeans, Oracle JDeveloper, Eclipse, Apache Maven, Ant, Gradle, and Nexus all rely on the Central Repository for access to Java components.
"Java.net is the premier source for Java technology collaboration with more than 600,000 members and 2,000 projects in development," said Amit Zavery, vice president, product management at Oracle. "With an industry-standard infrastructure now in place, Sonatype and Oracle have made it easier for existing and future Java.net projects to leverage the collective knowledge and work of the community to create better software faster."

It was one small victory in many this season but it was one giant leap for Eastleigh Football Club.
Goals from Yemi Odubade and Salisbury loan man Ben Wright confirmed the Spitfires as champions of the Skrill Conference South with two games to spare after winning 2-1 against Basingstoke Town at Silverlake Stadium yesterday.
Richard Hill's side are going where no Eastleigh team have gone before by playing in the Conference Premier at the elite level of the non-league.
At one point this term the Spitfires were more than ten points behind leaders Bromley but, through blood, sweat and tears, they turned this campaign into one that has made history and will be forever remembered as the most successful in the club's 68-years in existence to date.
Eleven years after winning the Wessex Premier Division and nine after the famous Ryman Premier League play-off final win, the Spitfires are one more promotion away from the Football League itself. One man has been ever-present through their rise, and that is founder and life president Derik Brooks.
The 90-year-old, who has seen the club rise through the Southampton Junior Leagues and now to the dizzy heights of the Skrill Premier, said: "I don't think words can express it."
"We're in the top league of non-league football, what better success is there? It is a truly wonderful feeling and I don't think I can fully appreciate yet." While Brooks (below) has seen highly successful managers given the responsibility to guide his beloved club, it is Hill who was charged with taking the Stoneham Lane side to within five divisions of the Premier League. Since last season, when Eastleigh suffered the heartbreak of defeat in the play-offs against Dover Athletic, Hill has not rested.
The boss, with a glass of champagne in hand, said with a smile: "I said at the start of the season 'we can win the league if we get the players we want – if we can play the way we want to play and get everyone to buy into it, then we stand a chance of winning the league'. "We didn't want to create a side that just saw out the season. We've kept the squad tight-knit, and they're absolutely tired to death now, two or three of the players that played the last few games shouldn't have done, we've had to patch them up.
"I believed we had a chance to win the league. You live the job, there is no respite, you live it every day and even more so because of where we've been in the league; the pressure's always on us to win the next game.
"My family have been through hell this year, my wife turned round to me and said yesterday 'I won't bother speaking to you until 5pm tomorrow and I won't probably speak to you then'.
"I've been grumpy at home, I've had sleepless nights but that's all part of this job."
It was certainly a battle-weary Spitfires team that turned up for the match against the Dragons. It took them until way past the hour mark to breach Town's goal, even with centre-back Ross Adams in goal, having to take the gloves after first-choice stopper Louis Wells was injured in a collision with Odubade (above) with no substitute keeper on the bench.
The opener was fired in by the same Odubade, a scorching effort from just outside the box after Ben Strevens had almost lost control of the ball and stumbled it into the path of the Nigerian born attacker.
Wright then sparked huge celebrations as he poked home from close range from Dan Spence's square ball with ten minutes to play, to notch his 13th goal of the season after arriving on loan in February. The spontaneous eruption of joy behind the 'Stoke goal after Wright had scored, saw the advertising hoarding collapse, with fans sprawling on the ground as it went down. Thankfully no supporter was injured and their festivities soon continued. Eastleigh were unchanged from the 1-0 win over Dover Athletic on Tuesday but, with Stuart Fleetwood, Reece Connolly and Jamie Collins all out through injury, Hill had little or no option to field an identical side. Basingstoke, who had Manny Williams – the player who scored against the Spitfires in the Ryman Premier League play-off final for Leyton FC in 2004/05 – and former Saints loan player Nicholas Bignall in their starting XI, looked far from a side that have struggled for most of the season. They had come to spoil the party and Bignall, who made three appearances for Saints on loan from Reading in 2009/10, fired a couple of powerful shots at Ross Flitney's goal.
Williams also had a golden chance but squandered it as he looked to latch on to a square ball from Simon Dunn. Apart from a couple Daniel Wishart efforts that worked keeper Wells before he got injured on 37 minutes, Eastleigh's main threat of the first-half came as Town cleared from a Michael Green corner. Jai Reason, Eastleigh's top goal-scorer with 20 goals, controlled the resulting clearance and popped a dipping effort over Wells's head and off the crossbar, the follow up landed perfectly for Wishart, the loanee from Alfreton Town, but he fired wide. For the most part the Dragons were on top and were rewarded with an injury time consolation as Liam Enver-Marum tucked in past Flitney as the ball rebounded off the stopper.

Clueless Spanish Politicians Want To Join The Government Malware Club
from the dedicated-follower-of-fashion dept
As we've noted before, when it comes to the Internet, governments around the world have an unfortunate habit of copying each other's worst ideas. Thus the punitive three-strikes approach based on accusations, not proof, was pioneered by France, and then spread to the UK, South Korea, New Zealand and finally the US (where, naturally, it became the bigger and better "six strikes" scheme). France appears to be about to abandon this unworkable and ineffective approach, leaving other countries to deal with all the problems it has since discovered.
Now there seems to be a new craze amongst ill-informed policy-makers: the use of government-sanctioned malware to spy on citizens. We wrote about Germany's trojan software back in October last year. Australia's spies want the same capability, and New Europe is reporting that Spain too is planning to pass a law that will allow its police to install malware on the systems of citizens:
According to the article 350 of the proposed draft, prosecutors may ask the judge for "the installation of a software that allows the remote examination and without knowledge of the owner of the content in computers, electronical devices, computer systems, instruments of massive storage or databases."
The key concern raised for similar projects of other countries applies here too: intentionally placing malware on computers increases the risk that others will be able to take control of those systems thanks to vulnerabilities in the code. That's no theoretical issue, as evidenced by major flaws discovered in Germany's trojan software. But it turns out that Spain's proposed malware scheme has an additional bad idea:
Furthermore, the article 351 of the text explains that official agents may require cooperation from "anyone who knows the operation of the computer system or measures applied in order to protect data held there". This means that Spanish authorities might require services from experts, "hackers" or computer companies.
Clearly that could be applied to Google or Facebook, say, which might be forced to provide user passwords or maybe even actively cooperate in attempts to infect a user's system. Given the current revelations about Internet companies' complicity in spying on huge numbers of people around the world, there seems little reason to hope that they would refuse to do so, despite protestations to the contrary, even if they -- unlike the Spanish politicians proposing this law -- understood the extreme stupidity of this approach.

"There is an art to being a daddy, just as there is to being a husband, sometimes they are the same, and other times they must be treated completely separate."
When you find out your wife is pregnant it's time to kick it into high gear and start learning the balance between being the daddy and the husband; I call it "trutina," which is Latin for balance.
I want to lay it all out for all of you expectant daddies: What do you need to know, and how can you keep the balance during the process of pregnancy and beyond?
Although the first day you discover your wife is pregnant, she may not look any different to you, I can guarantee you her hormones are already starting to run on overdrive, and internally, her body is changing at an alarming pace, so be patient as she will likely feel very different, and as her husband it's your duty to experience all of these new things right by her side.
Make sure to remind yourself at all times to be engaged and to listen; do not be pre-occupied: put down the cell phone, the iPod, the newspaper, and realize that even though you feel the same, your wife will be undergoing dramatic changes. She will experience simultaneous emotions of fear, happiness, sadness, and security. Do not be surprised if she starts talking about savings accounts, life insurance, living wills, etc. Your job, as husband and expectant daddy, is to just jump right in, and help get the ball rolling on each of these tasks. I suggest making lists and figuring out how you can accomplish something off the list every single day. Nine months may seem like a long time now, but trust me when I say it'll go by in a blink of the eye.
If this is your first child, then you need to understand the "fear of the unknown" can sometimes be overwhelming. There are so many logistics to take into consideration, such as: Where will the baby sleep? Is the house clean enough? Do we have enough money? Should we move? What about college? These thoughts are all good and healthy, and it is your job as the husband, to help step in and put the thoughts in order and begin addressing them with your wife to the best of your ability. Every concern is important and deserves thoughtful consideration from both you and your wife.
Remember the old saying, "A happy wife is a happy life"? Well during the next nine months, this saying is exponential. If she has a concern, show her you care immediately by addressing that concern however possible.
If I were to give husbands and expectant daddies everywhere a single piece of advice it would be to take everything one day at a time. There are sure to be difficult days as well as wonderful days. It takes time to transition from husband to daddy, and you're going to have to learn the balance there in-between. Enjoy all of the special and unique experiences that come with pregnancy, and with a bit of hard work everything is sure to fall into place — just be confident.
What advice would you give to an expectant dad?

Here in the Pittsburgh area, January has ushered in a month-long gust of wintery weather, with no let-up in sight. With forecasts that include terms like "ice pellets" and days that begin with two-hour school delays, 'tis the season for soup.
Soup and other back-to-basics meals are also making a more frequent appearance at our dinner table for another reason: since losing my job last summer and launching a freelancing and consulting business, I've had to become even more of a budget-conscious shopper. When deciding whether to make a recipe, I consider how easily it can be transformed into another dinner or two and the cost of the ingredients.
Our family isn't alone. Increased food costs are affecting everyone and food banks throughout the United States are reporting record-breaking numbers of people who need help. In southwestern Pennsylvania, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank serves more than 120,000 people. At the same time, organizations like GPCFB are finding that donations are dwindling - because the very people who used to be donors have become the ones who, because of the economic climate, are turning to the food banks for assistance.
The Husband and I haven't gotten to that point yet, but when my blogging friend Sue Kerr of the Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project asked if I would write a post highlighting this issue, I readily agreed. It hits very, very close to home these days.
Our task was to make a soup recipe from the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank Recipe Database (you need to check this resource out!) using ingredients that are often donated to food banks.
I looked in my own pantry and thought about what our family had contributed to the holiday food drive we supported at The Husband's office - because, despite our situation, my philosophy and my philanthropy is that there are always people in worse circumstances. We gave a box or two of pasta. A few cans of tomatoes, because Giant Eagle had them on sale. Some beans.
But what could someone make with that?
A few clicks through the GPCFB recipe database confirmed that those were among several ingredients for one of our favorite meals:
Minestrone Soup
- 1 cup chopped onion (I used chopped frozen onions)
- 1 (15 oz) can carrots, drained (I used fresh baby carrots that were on sale, 2 pkgs/$3
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 6 cups water
- 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed (I used baby butter beans, on sale for $1)
- 1 (15 oz) can green beans, drained (omitted)
- 1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbl canola oil (or other oil)
2. Add all other ingredients except macaroni into the pot. Bring to a boil, then add macaroni.
3. Let macaroni cook 12-15 minutes or until it is done to your liking. Makes 8 Servings. Freeze leftovers in plastic containers or zipper baggies and use within 6 months.
I like minestrone soup because of its flexibility. Canned vegetables can easily be substituted for fresh. Different varieties of beans can usually be exchanged for another, as can the vegetables. No elbow macaroni? Any small-ish pasta, like shells or ditalini, would work. I've made minestrone with rice - so what if it's then not technically minestrone? As for the herbs and spices, oregano and basil are kind of the same in my opinion, so those can be switched - or combined.
Like the recipe suggests, the leftovers can be made to last for additional meals. I doubled this and we had enough for everyone at our table (a family of four) to have at least one bowl and seconds, in some cases. I have two large Ziploc bags in the freezer for another meal.
In these challenging times, we all need to stretch our food dollars to make them go further. The same is true for donations to community food banks and food pantry organizations - contributions which are especially needed now that the holidays are over and so many families still continue to go hungry.

When Particles Collide
The interactions between colliding particles in chemical
reactions, such as those found in fireworks, are emphasized
in this unit using cars, marbles and marbles.
Video program cues: 5:35 10:50
The chemistry of fireworks
"Fireworks, on a chemical level, are
a combination of oxidizers and fuels. The oxidizers form
a free form of oxygen when energized or when heated, and
the fuel creating the burn rate of reaction in a pyrotachnic
chemical reaction. Examples of oxidizers that we may use
are potassium nitrate, which is used as black powder; potassium
perchlorate is another oxidizer which is used, because it
is very energetic and it is utilized in the noise-making
devices that you see. Some examples of fuels, like sulfur
that we use in black powder. We use also some metals: some
metals give us the twinkles, they serve also as fuels with
different types and sizes; they can also be utilized as
fuels. We can look at a fuel, such as aluminum or titanium,
and you look at the particular size; our ability to get
to this particular micron size gives us the ability to control
the burn of this material. Chemistry is extremely important
for us, to be able to continually refine that, and gives
us the ability to create new and exciting effects."

Gauchos Play Final Regular Season Home Matches
The Gauchos will be hosting their final regular season matches of the season when they play the two northernmost MPSF schools. On Thursday, UCSB plays Pacific and on Friday, third-ranked Stanford comes to town. Friday night's match will mark the final Robertson Gym (or Thunderdome if it rains) appearance for eight seniors.
Rain In The Forecast, Match Could Move
With rain in the forecast for the weekend, UCSB's matches against Pacific and/or Stanford could be moved from the friendly confines of Robertson Gym to the slightly more comfortable confines of the Thunderdome. Please log-on to UCSBgauchos.com continuously to keep up-to-date. Based on the weather predictions, the Stanford match is more likely to move than the Pacific match.
The Week in Review
The Gauchos split a pair of matches last week. On Mar. 31, they swept past UC San Diego and, in doing so, clinched a berth in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament. One night later, UCSB dropped a tough 3-1 decision to visiting UC Irvine. The win by UCI allowed the Anteaters to leapfrog over the Gauchos in the MPSF standings.
Playoff Bound!
UCSB's 3-0 sweep of UC San Diego last week guaranteed the Gauchos a spot in the MPSF Tournament. While their seed in the tournament is still up-in-the-air, they know for sure that they will be making their first appearance in the league's postseason tournament since 2007. Santa Barbara was out of the postseason mix from 2008-10.
Menzel Steps-Up In Defeat
Senior Jeff Menzel, who continues to lead UCSB in kills with an average of 3.89 per match, head a season-high 24 in the April 1 loss to UC Irvine. The Santa Barbara-native had just five errors to go along with his 24 kills and he hit .432. Menzel, in fact, had nearly half of the Gauchos 52 kills for the match.
Menzel Double-Digit Streak Ends, Begins Anew
With seven kills in UCSB's win over UC San Diego last week, senior outside hitter Jeff Menzel had his streak of 14 straight double-figure kill efforts ended. Prior to the match against the Tritons, the last time that Menzel failed to reach at least 10 kills was on Jan. 26 against USC when he had nine. He bounced back in the loss to UC Irvine with a season-high 24 put-aways.
Career Milestones in Reach for Seniors
Jeff Menzel has accumulated 1,895 kills in his UCSB career, and has an outside shot at hitting 2,000. Menzel currently ranks third all-time in career kills, and figures to finish there. Senior setter Vince Devany has 4,181 career assists, which already places him third all-time in Gaucho history. He has 918 assists on the year, and has a good shot at reaching 1,000 assists for the third consecutive season.
Slaughter Plays the Percentages
Scott Slaughter continues to lead the Gauchos and the MPSF in hitting percentage. Slaughter enters Thursday's match against Pacific with a hitting percentage of .471. He is one of just six players in the league over the .400 mark and he has helped UCSB jump to fourth in the team hitting percentage category at .329. Santa Barbara narrowly leads Hawai'I (.329) the team in fifth.
Road Block
One of UCSB's Achilles heels this season has been blocking. The Gauchos are last in the MPSF in blocks at 1.92 per game. In fact, they are the only team averaging fewer than 2.0 blocks per game. The next lowest team is UC Irvine, which checks in at 2.11 blocks per game. In 18 league matches, however, Santa Barbara is slightly better as it is averaging 2.03 per game and ranks 10th.
