Having a mobile phone today is not only a necessity but a need for us to communicate easily with our families, friends that was earlier released.
It may not be quite obvious to many, but men are very meticulous with regards to their mobile phone and they often spend so much just to make sure that they have the best. Today, there are mobile phones that can do just about anything, well apart from the fact that it can't put cook and brush your teeth. Some of the phones that are now available in the market are really good and that you want to show it to your friends while some people just want to keep to themselves that they have a new phone. If you are one of the many who wants to have the best mobile phones then, let me ask you this; what are you looking for in an android phone? Because there are a lot of android phone in the market today, then we shall look into the top android phones that is not only the best but also will give value for you money.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge – This Android phone is considered and chosen by a lot of people today. With its curved display and 5.5 inch size it is also added with more functionality and because of the new functionality it is also considered to be the most innovative screen tech today.
If you are into taking pictures, the camera on Samsung galaxy S7 Edge may look like it has been dropped but if you check out its spec, it has been upgraded to 12MP which means that it is also one of the best phone cameras. This mobile phone is an improvement of everything that Samsung has done in its previous mobile phone, they were also able to hit the most interesting version of their phone making it land on the number one spot on the best android phone today.
Next is the Samsung Galaxy S7 – In 2015, Samsung Galaxy S6 has been the favorite android phone. Now the Samsung Galaxy S7 with its waterproof design and some changes which makes it easier to hold. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with its curved design, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is more compact than its predecessor the Galaxy S6 Edge+.
This mobile phone is expensive and there is only one storage version. All you can do is buy a microSD card to get extra room up to 200GB. If you are looking for a phone that is high end, then this is can be a great android phone you can buy.
Third on my list is HTC 10 – If you are not a fan of HTC do not worry as it has a lot of design language along with its past HTC handsets. With its 5.2 inch display which makes great for watching movies and gaming. It has 4GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset.
The camera on HTC 10 is 12MP which takes great images while the front camera is 5MP which captures great selfies.
Next is OnePlus 3 – For some people, this phone is one of the best android phone in the market. This is made by a Chinese company and has created tremendous changes and upgrades with its phone as compared to its predecessors. OnePlus 3 is way cheaper compared to other brands but it provides great value to your money.
The AMOLED design is vibrant and it fingerprint scanner has improved greatly as well. The only problem with this phone is that it does not have a microSD card and its battery does not last very long compared to other phones.
If you are desperate of having a high-end android phone but do not have the money to buy a Samsung or HTC then this is the next best thing and will surely make you very happy.
Lastly is the LG G5 – This android phone is modular which means that you can simply swap out certain features as well as plugins whenever you needed something else.
This android phone features 5.3 displays, 4GB RAM and 32 GB of storage. If you are into capturing images then this camera is for you. It has a 16 MP rear camera wherein you can play with it. Although this android phone may not fit for everyone's taste but if you are looking for an android phone that has more value and great features, then you should buy LG G5 mobile phone.

NEW YORK - Customs and Border Protection (CBP) wants a federal district judge to bar the disclosure of the identity of the U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of killing Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, a Mexican teenager gunned down while peacefully walking down a Mexican street near the U.S.-Mexico border at Nogales two years ago.
The ACLU filed a motion today to block the permanent sealing of the agent's identity.
Jose Antonio's mother, Araceli Rodriguez, has filed a civil suit against the agent for the brazen and unjustified killing of her son. For almost two years the government would not provide Ms. Rodriguez with the name of the agent and finally did so only when faced with a court order. The government is now requesting that the name remain under seal while the case moves forward. Ms. Rodriguez is strongly opposed to the sealing of the Defendant's identity.
Lee Gelernt, Deputy Director of the ACLU's national Immigrants' Rights Project and lead ACLU attorney on the case, said: "This is an extraordinary request by the government and just one more example of how the Border Patrol attempts to shield its unlawful actions from the public. The rule of law demands transparency—that's all we're asking for."
On the night of Oct. 10, 2012, after playing basketball with friends in his neighborhood of Nogales, Mexico, Jose Antonio was walking home alone when he was shot approximately 10 times through the border fence by unknown Border Patrol agents. Virtually all of the bullets that struck Jose Antonio entered his body from behind. He died on the sidewalk, in a pool of blood, about four blocks from home.

Coffee Table. In Ambrosia Maple and Walnut, with breadboard ends. Small bowls in Maple and Walnut. Hand carved wooden spoon in Walnut. All by David Lewis, journeyman furniture maker with the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers.
The first step to making custom skis was learning the finer points of working with wood. His parents advised him to try a woodworking class to see if he enjoyed it. Naturally, he was drawn back to Vermont, his childhood vacation spot, and the Vermont Woodworking School. He began with their introductory class, just to see how he felt.
It was then that furniture making became not just a means to an end, but an end unto itself. The piece that probably singularly convinced Lewis that furniture making was his real passion was the first chair he had ever made at school. It demanded complex joinery and hand shaping, challenging the limits of his burgeoning skill. He realized that the personal growth he achieved from furniture making was something he wanted to continue to pursue.
Lewis's enjoyment of making diverse styles shows through in his work, and may continue. Maybe, ultimately, that will be his "style" — working on everything.
As the newest journeyman member of the Guild, we can't wait to see what David Lewis creates next.
This entry was posted in In the Studio on August 19, 2016 by Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers.
Love your creations. Couple of questions if I may. Did you assemble the maple top and then cut a single tenon across both ends? With a table saw? Did you use a router for the mortise in the breadboard ends? Did you wedge the dowels by making them slightly off center? Thanks.

Сигматро́пне перегрупува́ння (англ. sigmatropic rearrangements) — вид перициклічних реакцій, що здійснюється у вигляді міграції групи, яка пов'язана σ-зв'язком із кон'югованою π-електронною системою, з одного кінця цієї системи в інший. Така міграція супроводжується одночасним зсувом π-електронної густини. Сигматропні перегрупування є сугубо внутрішньомолекулярними реакціями.

Назва цього виду реакцій походить від "Сигма", тобто класичного позначення насиченого зв'язку між двома атомами Карбону, й грецького слова "tropos" — шлях. Сигматропні перегрупування зазвичай протікають без каталізаторів, хоча кислоти Льюїса іноді можуть каталізувати ці процесси.

Номенклатура за Вудвардом–Гофманом
Згідно з цією номенклатурою, кожне конкретне перегрупування описується виразом : якщо, починаючи з розірваного сигма-зв'язку, рахувати атоми по обидві сторони розриву, то новий сигма-зв'язок утворюється між атомом номер  з однієї сторони й атомом  з іншої сторони.

Нижче наведено короткий огляд можливих сигматропних реакцій:

Стереохімія сигматропних перегрупувань

Топологія
Вудвард і Гофман запропонували формальне розділення реагуючої молекули на два радикальних фрагменти: мігруючий радикал (Гідроген, алкіл тощо) та радикал кон'югованої π-системи. Останньому можна присвоїти "площини" (англ. faces). У такому випадку, площина "супра" — це та площина, що містить орбіталь розірваного зв'язку; площина "антара"  — це протилежна їй площина. Згідно такій номенклатурі, сигматропне перегрупування може проходити за двома сценаріями:

 Супрафасіальний (англ. suprafacial): новий зв'язок утворюється з тої ж площини, з якої був розірваний старий.
 Антарафасіальний (англ. antarafacial): старий зв'язок був розірваний з однієї площини, а новий утворюється з іншої.

Якщо мігруюча група є Карбоновим центром, то можна умовно уявити, що мігруючий радикал має тригонально-біпірамідальну орієнтацію (подібно до карбокатіону); у такому випадку мігруючий фрагмент теж має свої площини. В залежності від того, з якої площини мігруючого фрагменту утворюється новий зв'язок, він може або утримувати свою конфігурацію ("утримання", англ. retention of configuration), або змінювати її ("інверсія", англ. inversion of configuration). Це можна проілюструвати на прикладі алкільної групи:

Якщо йдетьтся про [1, ]-перегрупування, то можна використовувати формулювання, наприклад, "супрафасіальний зсув з інверсією конфігурації", а якщо йдетьтся про [, ]-перегрупування, то доречніше казати "антара(фасіальне)-антара(фасіальне) перегрупування". Однак, для більшої лаконічності, [1, ]-зсуви можна описувати виразом типу "σ-антара-π-супра".

Іноді, зміна конфігурації збігається зі зміною хіральної конфігурації. Однак, не всі мігруючі групи є хіральними, а також не всі випадки інверсії конфігурації супроводжуються інверсією хірального центру.

Метод граничних орбіталей
Оскільки сигматропні перегрупування не мають осі симетрії (навіть якщо її має перехідний стан, то вихідні сполуки й продукти все одно асиметричні), то їх не можна анілізувати за допомогою методу кореляції орбітальної симетрії. Однак, метод граничних орбіталей дуже добре підходить для цієї задачі.

Згідно цього методу, радикал кон'югованої π-системи відображується у вигляді її ВЗМО (у випадку фотохімічної реакції це ВЗМО*). Таким чином, в залежності від того, чи потрібно мігруючому радикалу змінювати орбітальну фазу,  можна визначити термічну чи фотохімічну дозволеність реакцій, а також чи зберігає атом у такому випадку свою конфігурацію:

Метод ароматичності перехідного стану
Цей метод також можна використовувати для аналізу дозволеності сигматропних перегрупувань. Таким чином, орбіталі π-системи мають бути представлені в основному стані; мігруючий сигма-фрагмент має пов'язувати кінці системи, між якими відбувається міграція. В залежності від того, чи має така система вузлову площину, її відносять або до системи Гюккеля, або до системи Мебіуса; якщо загальна кількість задіяних електронів (4n чи 4n+2) відповідає ароматичній системі, то таке перегрупування вважається термічно дозволеним:

Загальні правила дозволеності сигматропних перегрупувань
Підсумовуючи, для сигматропних реакцій діють наступні правила орбітальної симетрії:

Walk rearrangements
"Крокуючі" сигматропні перегрупування (англ. walk rearrangements) — особливий випадок [1,]-супрафасіальних перегрупувань конденсованої біциклічної системи, що складається з (+1)-членного циклу й циклопропану:

В залежності від порядку крокуючих перегрупувань, вони також можуть проходити з утриманням або інверсією конфігурації. Таким чином, наприклад, для термічних [1,3]-перегрупувань дозволена інверсія, а для [1,6]-перегрупувань — утримання:

 *
Literal run: directly copy bytes from input to output.

 *
Back-reference: copy previous data to output stream, with specified
 * offset from location and length. The length is at least 3 bytes.

 *

 *

 * The first byte of the compressed stream is the control byte. For literal
 * runs, the highest three bits of the control byte are not set, the the lower
 * bits are the literal run length, and the next bytes are data to copy directly

Cannabis seeds, plant nutrient and grow guides in Alameda County, California. Become Affiliate!
Alameda County is a county in the state of California in the United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,510,271, making it the 7th-most populous county in the state. and 20th most populous nationally. The county seat is Oakland. Alameda County is included in the San Francisco Bay Area, occupying much of the East Bay region.
The Spanish word alameda means either, "...a grove of poplars,...or a tree lined street" a name originally used to describe the Arroyo de la Alameda. The willow and sycamore trees along the banks of the river reminded the early Spanish explorers of a road lined with trees. Although a strict translation to English might be "Poplar Grove Creek", the name of the principal stream that flows through the county is now simply "Alameda Creek."
Alameda County is included in the San Francisco�Oakland�Berkeley, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area.
The county was formed on March 25, 1853, from a large portion of Contra Costa County and a smaller portion of Santa Clara County.
The county seat at the time of the county's formation was located at Alvarado, now part of Union City. In 1856, it was moved to San Leandro, where the county courthouse was destroyed by the devastating 1868 quake on the Hayward Fault. The county seat was then re-established in the town of Brooklyn from 1872�1875. Brooklyn is now part of Oakland, which has been the county seat since 1873.
Much of what is now considered an intensively urban region, with major cities, was developed as a trolley car suburb of San Francisco in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The historical progression from Native American tribal lands to Spanish, then Mexican ranches, then to farms, ranches, and orchards, then to multiple city centers and suburbs, is shared with the adjacent and closely associated Contra Costa County.
The annual county fair is held at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. The fair runs for four weekends from June to July. Attractions include horse racing, carnival rides, 4-H exhibits, and live bands.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 821 square miles (2,130 km2), of which 739 square miles (1,910 km2) is land and 82 square miles (210 km2) (10%) is water. The San Francisco Bay borders the county on the west.
The crest of the Berkeley Hills form part of the northeastern boundary and reach into the center of the county. A coastal plain several miles wide lines the bay; and is Oakland's most populous region. Livermore Valley lies in the eastern part of the county. Amador Valley abuts the western edge of Livermore Valley and continues west to the Pleasanton Ridge.
The Hayward Fault, a major branch of the San Andreas Fault to the west, runs through the most populated parts of Alameda County, while the Calaveras Fault runs through the southeastern part of the county.
The City and County of San Francisco, California, borders the county on the west, and has a small land border with the city of Alameda, California due to land filling.
Santa Clara County borders the county on the south.
San Joaquin County borders the county on the east.
Contra Costa County borders the county on the north.
Stanislaus County borders the county on the easternmost end of its southern boundary for 250 feet (76 m).

Law, government and politics
Ren? C. Davidson Courthouse, Alameda County Superior Court, Oakland, in June 2009
Main article: Government of Alameda County, California
The Government of Alameda County is defined and authorized under the California Constitution, California law, and the Charter of the County of Alameda. Much of the Government of California is in practice the responsibility of county governments such as the Government of Alameda County, while municipalities such as the city of Oakland and the city of Berkeley provide additional, often non-essential services. The County government provides countywide services such as elections and voter registration, law enforcement, jails, vital records, property records, tax collection, and public health. In addition it is the local government for all unincorporated areas, and provides services such as law enforcement to some incorporated cities under a contract arrangement.
It is composed of the elected five-member Alameda County Board of Supervisors (BOS) as the county legislature, several other elected offices and officers including the Sheriff, the District Attorney, Assessor, Auditor-Controller/County Clerk/Recorder, Treasurer/Tax Collector, and numerous county departments and entities under the supervision of the County Administrator. In addition, several entities of the government of California have jurisdiction conterminous with Alameda County, such as the Alameda County Superior Court.
The current supervisors are:
Scott Haggerty, district 1,
Richard Valle, district 2,
Wilma Chan, district 3,
Nate Miley, district 4, and
Keith Carson, district 5.
The Board elects a president who presides at all meetings of the Board and appoints committees to handle work involving the major programs of the county. If the president is absent for a meeting, the vice president shall be responsible. A Board election occurs every two years for these positions. Supervisor Miley is serving currently as president; Supervisor Carson is vice president.
The county's law enforcement is overseen by an elected Sheriff/Coroner and an elected District Attorney. The Sheriff supervises the deputies of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, whose primary responsibilities include policing unincorporated areas of the county and cities within the county which contract with the Sheriff's Office for police services; providing security and law enforcement for county buildings including courthouses, the county jail and other county properties; providing support resources, such as a forensics laboratory and search and rescue capabilities, to other law enforcement agencies throughout the county; and serving the process of the county's Superior Court system. The District Attorney's office is responsible for prosecuting all criminal violations of the laws of the state of California, the county, or its constituent municipalities, in the Alameda County Superior Court. The current Sheriff is Gregory J. Ahern, who was elected in 2006, succeeding Charles Plummer, who had served in the post for 20 years. The Interim District Attorney is Nancy E. O'Malley, who was appointed to fill the position of retiring District Attorney Tom Orloff in September 2009. The Sheriff's Office operates two jails: Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, and Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility in downtown Oakland.
The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) was formed on July 1, 1993, as a dependent district, with the Board of Supervisors as its governing body. Municipal and specialized fire departments have been consolidated into the ACFD over the years. 1993 brought in the Castro Valley and Eden Consolidated FD, and the County Fire Patrol. San Leandro joined in 1995, Dublin in 1997, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2002, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2007, The Alameda County Regional Emergency Communications Center in 2008, and Newark and Union City in 2010. Emeryville joined the ACFD in 2012.
The Alameda County Water District is a special district within Alameda County created to distribute water, but it is not operated by Alameda County administrators. It is operated by an elected board of directors.
Alameda County Superior Court operates in twelve separate locations throughout the county, with its central Ren? C. Davidson Courthouse located in Oakland near Lake Merritt. Most major criminal trials and complex civil cases are heard at this location or in courtrooms within the County Administration Building across the street.

Since 1932, Alameda County has been a stronghold of the Democratic Party, with Dwight Eisenhower being the only Republican presidential nominee to have carried the county since. Prior to 1932, the county had been a Republican stronghold. Piedmont resident William F. Knowland was the Republican U.S. Senate Leader from 1953 to 1959. Even when Ronald Reagan won the national popular vote by an 18.3% margin in 1984, Walter Mondale won Alameda County by a slightly larger margin. In 2004 it voted for John Kerry by a margin of over 75%. Every city and town voted Democratic.

Brief: Create images that make the lollies….. yeah, I stopped at the word lollies too!
In all seriousness, Jen – the lovely owner of Wellington based lolly shop Sarkara (BTW she has my childhood dream job – Lolly Shop Lady!), asked us to create some images of her new gift boxes for her online lolly shop (sounds dangerous doesn't it?!) We were able to help Jen pin down her many ideas into a brief with clear photographic deliverables, and got some tasty photographs!
We were really taken with Jen's ideas and approach – send candy to a friend as an alternative to flowers – brilliant! We've all sent flowers to someone and struggled to describe what we want to the busy florist at the end of the phone… in the end, crossing our fingers, surrendering our credit card number and hoping that the bouquet will look good on arrival.
This fresh approach allows the customer to select the type of gift box (several price point options available) and then choose the exact lollies that you'd like to go into the box. Genius!
Go on, give it a try online, or go and visit Jen the Lolly Shop Lady in her lolly shop in Manners Street, Wellington CBD – you'll be spoiled for choice!
I can vouch for the sweets – they are good. Really good. One or two (who am I kidding!) may have needed to be taste tested whilst shooting… purely for photographer energy levels and product control!

College Weekend Wrap
Jesse Squire | On 08, Dec 2013
Could this be the view for future NCAA championships? (Photo: UCLABruins.com)
This first weekend of collegiate track and field is a warm-up of sorts, allowing sprinters and hurdlers and field event athletes a chance to get out of training and put their skills to the test of competition. Some teams don't even do official meets and simply run intrasquad affairs (and a few of those, in California and Arizona, were held outdoors).
As such there isn't much story to tell about competition this weekend, but there are other stories to tell about college track.
Upping their game
Two SoCal institutions are seriously upgrading their track and field facilities, one right now and one in the near future.
UCLA announced its Drake Enhancement Project, a three phase upgrade to the Bruins' Drake Stadium. Phase one is currently underway and consists of laying down a new Mondo surface. Phase two will take place after the spring season is over and consists of new entryways, a new video board, placement of a new shot circle to highlight the event, and recognition areas for former Bruin greats and the namesake of the stadium, former coach Elvin "Ducky" Drake. Phase three will upgrade the pressbox to modern media standards, and no timeline is currently set for that phase.
Opened in 1969 and with a seating capacity of 11,700, Drake Stadium used to host some big-time events: three USATF Championships, massively well-attended duals with USC, and invitationals that were comparable to today's professional World Challenge circuit.
From the press release:
[The Drake Enhancement Plan] will bring the stadium back to the forefront of NCAA track and field facilities. The enhancements to Drake Stadium promises to strengthen UCLA in its bid to host upcoming major California, national, and international competitions at Drake Stadium as it once did…and is planning to stage additional future premier NCAA and high school competitions.
About forty miles east of the UCLA campus lies Mt. San Antonio [junior] College, host of the annual Mt. SAC Relays at its Hilmer Lodge Stadium. On Monday the college announced its Project 2020, a $62 million upgrade to the stadium, taking it to the level needed to host the 2020 Olympic Trials. The upgrades include laying a new track with the wide-radius turns needed for major events, plus creating an adjacent three-lane warmup track (with eight sprint lanes on the straightaway), and updates to the stadium infrastructure and fan experience.
Whether or not Mt. SAC can wrestle the Trials away from Eugene remains to be seen, but it seems likely that the word "Olympic" is necessary to get that kind of fund-raising done. In any case, Mt. SAC will use the new track and stadium for whatever it can. "If there is a national championship in the sport of track and field, we want to host it," said Doug Todd, Mt. SAC's director of special events.
That these two athletic departments (plus Kansas, via its new Rock Chalk Park) want to get into the game of hosting major meets is no small thing. From 2008 through 2014, twelve of the fourteen NCAA and USATF outdoor championships were held either in Eugene or Des Moines. Sacramento State now appears to be back in, hosting this year's USATF meet, but Des Moines appears to have dropped out of the bidding for NCAA meets in the near future.
Not only do major meets need to move around the country to gain wider exposure for the sport, but they need to go to bigger media markets. Des Moines, Eugene and Sacramento aren't where you need to be to get wider attention. I mean, Eugene might be "Disneyland for track fans" but UCLA and Mt. SAC are where the real Disneyland is.
The "Friday News Dump" is the term used when newsmakers release unpopular items right before the weekend begins, hoping for it to disappear from the news cycle before people start paying attention again on Monday. No surprise, then, that Temple University chose to announce the elimination of nine sports programs on Friday afternoon. Of course, men's indoor and outdoor track and field were two of those nine programs.
To Temple's credit, they did not use the ever-popular Title IX blame game for the cuts. The athletic director noted an "underfunded athletic department" as the lone reason.
I've seen all kinds of athletic programs eliminated over the decades and I've seen every kind of response from the teams and the public, but I've never seen the response to be one of faulting the university's administration. If the athletic department is underfunded, why has this shortcoming occurred? If nine coaches are losing their jobs and 150 athletes are losing their scholarships, then shouldn't this be seen as a massive failure on the part of the athletic department, and shouldn't heads roll?
This is a massive failure. People whose job it is to produce revenue and to fund-raise have failed. People whose job it is to be efficient with university funds have failed. Why Temple continues to participate in FBS football is, I think, a very good question given that nine other athletic programs have just been eliminated–and that the FCS level is significantly less expensive.
The Owls compete in the Atlantic Ten in every sport besides football, and no other A-10 team plays FBS football. None of the other Big 5 Philadelphia colleges play FBS football, either. Owl football has bounced from conference to conference, being kicked out of the Big East, then becoming an affiliate member of the Mid-American Conference, then returning to a much-weakened Big East, and now competing in the new American Athletic Conference. They've won just two bowl games in school history. Temple does not belong in FBS football and the outsized expense of trying to stay there appears to be killing its athletic department.
But Temple can hardly be blamed for the idiocy of the college football system. All other college sports survive on a kind of a socialist system, where the profitable teams on campus fund the unprofitable, and the profits from the NCAA basketball tournament are distributed around the country. Football doesn't work that way due to the bowl system, which tends to suck money out of the colleges and into private hands (the bowl committees, who are accountable to no one).
This is how stupid the whole system is: Bowling Green beat Northern Illinois in Friday night's Mid-American Conference Championship game, and by doing so it cost the athletic department two-thirds of a million dollars. Yes. Really.
Had NIU won, they would have qualified to a BCS bowl, likely the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and earned a payout of $8.5 million. As with most conferences, that gets split up equally among MAC members (less NIU's bowl-related expenses). Roughly $8 million split twelve ways would have been two-thirds of a million dollars for everyone. Now BG goes to a third-tier bowl where the payout may not even cover expenses–and the university will be forced to buy blocks of tickets for the game, which the Falcons will not be able to sell out, and thus probably come out with a loss. "We won a championship," joked head coach Dave Clawson, "but we're not going to be able to buy jock straps next year".
The long-term health of college sports beyond the three or four biggest conferences is dependent on a football playoff eventually pushing the bowls out of existence. All of them. The TV rights fees from a football playoff would dwarf that of the NCAA basketball tournament, and all that money could be kept within the NCAA's member institutions instead of going into private hands. It's the only sane alternative for college sports as a whole–and the only way we won't continue to see track and field die in the "mid-major" schools.
There's not a whole lot of inherent meaning in team scores kept this early in the season. This is little more than pre-season competition, a break from training and a checkpoint on progress. But I do think it's important to keep score whenever we want to have something for the casual fan–and anyone who doesn't think fan interest is important should drop out of Division I athletics.
If we want the general sports supporter to come see their Tigers/Bulldogs/Wildcats/Ephs/Banana Slugs/whatevers in a track meet, then we need to have the team aspect count for something. People know the teams but they don't necessarily know the athletes. (I mean, who doesn't love to hate Duke come tournament time, even if you're not up to date on which Dukies you should specifically hate?). Team scoring ties everything together, while unscored meets are often just a bunch of stuff that happens.

Awards time…
LATE EDIT: In the comments section, Martin Bingisser suggests Illinois State's Curt Jensen as the first star of the weekend. He's completely right but I missed it since the results of that meet had not yet been uploaded to TFRRS.org as of Sunday evening. This happens quite often and is one of many reasons that the college recap will publish on Monday afternoon starting in January.
The first star: Mason Finley, Wyoming
Competing at the Cowboy's own Power Meet, the senior out of Buena Vista, Colorado, sent the shot put out to 20.12 meters (66′ ¼") to break his own PR, the Wyoming school record, and the War Memorial Fieldhouse record. The only athlete who threw further last indoor season was Arizona State's Jordan Clarke, now graduated.
The second star: Richard Chavez, Arkansas State
At the Red Wolves' own ASU Kickoff Classic, Chavez also got off a big mark in the shot put. He hit a massive PR of 20.09 meters (65′ 9¾"), an improvement of more than five feet over his old best (established 18 months ago). Again, only eventual NCAA champion Clarke threw further during last year's indoor season.
The Third Star: Jax Thiors, Washington
Thiors cleared 5.51 meters (18′ 1¼") at the Huskies' intrasquad meet on Friday night, a height that would virtually guarantee him an NCAA Championships qualifier if it had been in an official competition. It's a big deal for the his team; the sophomore from Glasgow, Scotland, did not score a single point at a conference championship last year but now stands as a threat to win the MPSF.
D-II Athlete of the Week: Justin Welch, Findlay
Welch won the weight throw at Findlay's own Oiler Opener with an automatic NCAA Championships qualifying mark of 22.00 meters (72′ 2¼"). The hammer/weight throwing community does not have hard numbers, but it appears it puts Welch in the top five in D-II history in the event.
D-III Athlete of the Week: Chad Gentry, Mount Union
Gentry all three sprints at Kent State's Golden Flash Gala and produced a D-III leader (and indoor/outdoor PR) in the 200 with his eighth-place finish in 22.20 seconds. He also took runner-up in the 400 in 49.03, just shy of his outdoor PR and putting him at #2 on the D-III list. Both are likely to qualify him to the NCAA Championships.
NAIA Athlete of the Week: John Broaden, Indiana Tech
Broaden won the 60 meters at IPFW's Mastodon Opener in a time of 6.75 seconds. Not only is that a PR by a huge 0.16 seconds and an NAIA Championships automatic qualifier, but the same time as the runner-up at last year's NAIA Championships.
CIS Athlete of the Week: Corey Bellemore, Windsor
A "third year" out of Windsor, Bellemore broke the Canadian junior record in the 1000 meters at the Lancers' annual intrasquad meet with 2:25.39. The previous record was held by Jeremy Rae, who might be best known for anchoring Notre Dame's distance medley relay to an NCAA indoor title last March.
Team Player: Jamie Ruginski, Southern Maine
In a five-team meet at Bowdoin, Ruginski competed in four events, winning three and accounting for 19¾ of his team's 113 points. He won the long and triple jumps and ran on the winning 4×400 relay, and took third in the shot put.
The first star: Emily Sisson, Providence
At the Boston University Season Opener, Sisson used her excellent cross country form to win the 5000 meters in 15:40.62. It was an indoor PR by Sisson and just short of her outdoor PR (15:34.54). More importantly, it's a certain qualifier to the NCAA Championships, as only two women ran faster during last year's regular season (and both are graduated). She pulled along teammates Sarah Collins and Laura Nagel to likely qualifiers as well, all three running under 15:43 and lapping the rest of the field multiple times.
The second star: Christina Hillman, Iowa State
Hillman sent the iron ball out to 17.51 meters (57′ 5½") at the Cyclones' Holiday Preview. Only one other athlete competing in the NCAA this year has ever thrown further, Arizona's Alyssa Hasslen, and she's never thrown that far indoors.
The third star: Dani Bunch, Purdue
Bunch broke two school records at IPFW's Mastodon Opener, the shot put and weight throw. Her mark in the weight throw, 21.72 meters (71′ 3¼") is the NCAA leader and further than the PR of any returning thrower.
D-II Athlete of the Week: Kalena Franklin, Grand Valley State
Franklin had a busy weekend at the Lakers' Early Bird meet. She won the 60 hurdles with an all-division leader of 8.40 seconds, won the 300 meters in 39.13 seconds, and ran on the second-place 4×400 relay team.
D-III Athlete of the Week: Becky Huberty, St. Scholastica
Huberty won a shot/weight double at the Saints' own The Opener Meet and currently ranks in the top three in D-III in both.
NAIA Athlete of the Week: Akela Jones, Oklahoma Baptist
Jones won the high jump at Tuesday's OBU Early Qualifier with a new PR of 1.86 meters (6′ 1¼"). It's the nation's leading collegiate mark and breaks her own Bahamian national record. She also won the 60m hurdles in an NAIA-leading 8.62.
CIS Athlete of the Week: Danielle Delage, Toronto
Delage won the high jump at Cornell's Greg Page Relays with a height of 1.73 meters (5′ 8″), the only CIS qualifier of the meet.
Team Player: Antoinette Goodman, North Dakota State
The junior from Burnsville, Minnesota, led the Bison to victory at the Dakota Duals with wins in the 60 meters (7.68), 300 meters (40.03) and long jump (5.77m/18′ 11¼"). The two running event times were field house records.
Five things you should read if you haven't already…
Billy Mills to Receive the NCAA Theodore Roosevelt Award
Newly formed Collegiate Running Association includes trail and mountain running
American dream and scholarship trail seems to have run its course
Track and Field News ranks the top ten recruiting classes for men and women
Two UO club running members earn their way onto the Division 1 track and field team
Fifty Athletes of the Year
I would instead nominate Curt Jensen of Illinois State as male athlete of the week. He threw the shot even further than Finley: 66'7″ / 20.29m. Coming off a redshirt year that improves his PB by 66cm (and his indoor best by over a meter). It was also a big school and conference record. Finley's throw was also good, but not as far and under his best.

"Socialist" Australian in Cambodia surrogacy case 'lost everything'
edellwy
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – An Australian woman charged with
providing commercial surrogacy services in Cambodia told a court
Monday she has "lost everything" since her arrest eight months
ago and is suffering from cancer.
Cambodia banned commercial surrogacy last year after becoming a
popular destination for would-be parents seeking women to give
birth to their children.
Tammy Davis-Charles, who was arrested in November, has said in
previous court appearances that she launched her business in
Cambodia only after consulting three local lawyers who assured
her the clinic was legal. The surrogates were paid $10,000 for
each pregnancy, she has said.
On Monday, Davis-Charles said she has cancer in her left eye and
wants to be reunited with her family in Australia, including her
5-year-old twin sons.
"I have lost everything," she said.
The judge adjourned the case until Aug. 3.
Developing countries are popular for surrogacy because costs are
much lower than in nations such as the United States and
Australia, where surrogate services are around $150,000. The
surrogacy business boomed in Cambodia after it was put under
tight restrictions in neighboring Thailand. There also were
crackdowns in India and Nepal.
After Cambodia's crackdown, the trade has shifted to neighboring

Q: Tweetdeck search column incomplete When I add a new search column in Tweetdeck some of the chosen keywords give incomplete search results compared to search results from twitter.com. I tried another Tweetdeck username (for syncing), deleted the search column from the server and tried reinstalling the application. Nothing works. Weird thing is that only a few keywords do not work properly (and I used them before...). Anyone any idea?

A: There might not be a way around it, the Twitter API can be a little shaky with some less marquee features like searching so the application may not be able to see more than what you can get it to see. Have you tried Twitter searching in another program? If you get the same results in that as you do with Tweetdeck than that is what this is.

Today's Cleanup Draws 21 Volunteers!
On this beautiful spring day, beginning with coffee, donuts and a bowl of fresh fruit, 21 volunteers joined forces at the state boat ramp on Torrey Road, Sutton today from 9:00AM to 2:00PM to fan out cleanning the roadsides, ramp and shoreline of Manchaug Pond.
Coordinated by the Manchaug Pond Foundation, the cleanup included trash pick up on roadsides including Lackey Road, Manchaug Road from Central Turnpike to Torrey Road, Torrey Road to Holt Road in Sutton and then on to Oak Street in Douglas.
A team with "heavy equipment" focused on the public boat ramp clearing branches from lawn areas, leaves and other debris from gutters, and trash from the property.
Cooperating in the effort was the town of Sutton Highway Dept. who supplied a town truck for disposal of the trash.
Volunteer hours will count toward our upcoming s. 319 Nonpoint Pollution Grant.
A couple cars also pulled up asking for information on the MPF and how they could join our efforts! As Sutton residents they loved the lake and enjoyed boating and one local family camps at a Manchaug Pond campground!
If you would like to be on the mailing list – email ManchaugPondSecretary@gmail.com with your name, address and email address and we'll get you on our lists!
