America's greatness comes from the extraordinary acts of ordinary citizens. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) makes our country great by empowering AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members to solve local problems nationwide.
In coordination with state and local entities, national service responds to the most pressing issues facing our nation. AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members prepare today's students for tomorrow's jobs, reduce crime, connect returning veterans to jobs, fight the opioid epidemic, support seniors to live independently, make college more accessible and affordable, and help Americans rebuild their lives following disasters.

State Service Commissions are vital links in the chain that translates national service dollars and initiatives into local results.
These governor-appointed commissions date back to the creation of the Corporation for National and Community Service with the passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. State Service Commissions annually manage more than $250 million in federal national service grants, along with more than $100 million from local sources, to make citizen service a reality. Not only that, but they also serve as watchdogs to ensure that these funds are used effectively.
Those serving on the commissions power the engines of national service. More than 1,110 private citizens serve as commissioners to drive the nation's philanthropic movement at public agencies or nonprofit organizations. State commissioners act as visionaries for service for governors, setting priorities for service and volunteerism, catalysts and ambassadors for service, creators of sustainable infrastructure for service and volunteerism, and developers of resources for the state.
In addition to overseeing the annual grant competition that awards funding to AmeriCorps State and other community service programs, State Service Commissions determine social needs in their states, set policy and program priorities, provide training and assistance, support national days of service, and promote service and volunteering.
These organizations initiate activities that strengthen the role of service and volunteering to meet critical community needs across the nation in areas including literacy, environmental stewardship, housing, social services, and disaster relief.
State Service Commissions provide the connection in a state-federal partnership that maximizes the power of citizens to solve problems and strengthen communities.

Any type of sports and games can have their sportsbooks run by bookmakers that may or may not be authorized to do so. In both cases, the games get a wide range of fans opting for betting. While some of the games are not that popular in sports betting, games like football see billions of dollars being invested in bets throughout the year. Here we look at the top sports events in sports betting.
Known as football and soccer in different parts of the world, FIFA World Cup hosts the biggest sports betting events in the world. The entire world watches the games that take place every four years. In 2018, the total estimate of legal betting on the World Cup was recorded at $136 billion, with $7.2 billion on the finals.

Horse racing holds a massive sports betting market with bets available for major events, including EpsomDerby, Grand National Glorious Goodwood.

'True Blood' Season 4 Finale Videos: Alcide Wants Sookie
The True Blood season 4 finale promises a lot more death, but since we've already seen Tommy, Marnie and Marcus get killed, the show is going to have to get creative if it wants to kill more people.
While death might be the keyword for the season 4 finale, True Blood is also ending with some relationship drama. In this first scene from the finale, Alcide makes yet another attempt at getting Sookie to be with him, and he makes a surprisingly compelling argument.
In the second clip, Sam and Maxine attend Tommy's funeral, and while it's sweet and somber, it ends with an absolutely hilarious moment.
But the real story of the True Blood season 4 finale is about the death or deaths. In this promo, we see the Population of Bon Temps ticking down at an alarmingly fast rate, so I'm expecting multiple dead people.
Season 4 Finale: Death Is Coming
There are a lot of suspects not just for who might die, but who might do the killing. Marnie has taken over Lafayette's body, Nan Flanagan has vowed to get the Authority involved and the fairies came back into the mix. Any of them can do some serious damage.
As for who will die? Lafayette and Jesus seem like obvious targets given their current predicament. Hoyt seems expendable now that he's not with Jessica. The same goes for Debbie. Basically, there are too many options to count, but as long as Sookie, Eric, Bill and Jason make it out alive, I'll be happy.
Which character or characters do you think will get killed off in the True Blood season 4 finale? And who do you think will be doing the killing?

Analysis: School districts are getting report cards. They shouldn't be the only ones.
A "Come and Take It" flag depicting an apple instead of the traditional cannon at the Save Our Schools rally at the Texas Capitol on March 12, 2011.
Bob Daemmrich
Editor's note: If you'd like an email notice whenever we publish Ross Ramsey's column, click here.
It's time to start grading the papers of the people elected to run the state of Texas, to translate voters' thoughts and feelings about the way things are going into the job reviews that will be delivered in this year's general election.
It's the seasonal cycle of this electoral democracy. We elect them. They do stuff. We decide whether to keep or replace them.
Elected officials adore this sort of judgement when it's directed at others.
Later today, for instance, the state will issue its inaugural set of A-F grades for more than 1,000 public school districts. That has agitated a lot of Texas educators; when the grades are out, odds are good that it will agitate — in ways both negative and positive — parents, business people and taxpayers. If the politicos are lucky, it will divert angst over public education in Texas away from the folks who'll be on the November ballot.
Accountability is an admirable thing in politics. It can show citizens where responsibility lies, the better to direct their blame and, more to the point, where to repair or replace policies that don't work.
It can also diffuse responsibility. When today's school grades come out, keep an eye on who's taking the heat and who's getting the credit. Ask yourself, as it unrolls, whether the right people are getting the right kind of attention.
This is supposed to be a way for the government ministers in Austin and the public across the state to see what results they're getting for their money. It's controversial, to say the least. Educators contend the grading system is both too general — not taking the complexity of any given school district into account — and too reliant on standardized tests and other inappropriate yardsticks that don't give accurate readings of educational progress. Many are not crazy about grades of any kind, but they're irked that these grades, in their view, will give voters and policymakers false readings about school districts' performance.
But for a Legislature that can't muster a consensus for what public schools should do and what they should cost, it's a way to outsource the blame from the pink building to local "educrats."
It's a pre-election test of whether voters trust politicians more than teachers.
Education isn't the only forum for this sort of deflection. The telling sign is when the people at the top try to separate themselves from the people who work for them, a strategy that allows them to make policy and take credit for passing laws while also blaming someone else when the execution of those instructions falls short.
Maybe the blame should crawl up the management ladder; they'd rather you didn't make the connection.
Rats, mold and other filth in state buildings? The budgeteers at the Capitol have been skimping on building maintenance and upkeep for years. Multi-billion-dollar contracting troubles at the Health and Human Services Commission? That sort of thing happens if you put all those disparate agencies into one pot and then wander off, forgetting the second part of the business maxim: "Put all your eggs in one basket — and then watch that basket very carefully."
A federal "zero tolerance" immigration policy that splits adults and children at the border and then cannot reconnect them — whether they're staying here or being sent home? That is, in fact, a bureaucratic nightmare. But it's a product of bad design, of putting a policy in place before figuring out how it's going to work. The blame for that kind of empty-headed governance belongs at or near the top of the organization chart. Roughly 500 of those kids are still unattached to the adults with whom they entered the country. That terrible foul-up took place at the border, but the credit and blame really belong to the high officials who got things rolling.
This is going to be a hard day for some school superintendents and school boards and a great day for others. In both situations, some of them deserve it. Some of them don't. Examine the results. Make your own judgements. And when you pass out cheers and jeers, think of the people who are responsible for education policy who aren't on today's report cards.
They'll be on your election ballot a few weeks from now.

Don't think of travel insurance as an added extra, but an essential part of your travel budget.
"If you can afford to travel, then I think you can afford travel insurance."
So says Erin Langworthy, the Australian woman whose bungee rope snapped over Victoria Falls and survived.
Erin was with a group of friends visiting Zambia when they decided to do what many others have done before them, in Victoria Falls and other popular spots around the world such as Queenstown, New Zealand: bungee-jump. But what should have been a quick thrill left the the 22 year old mining engineer seriously injured after her bungee cord snapped. She subsequently racked up $50,000 in medical bills.
Erin's story is part of a new campaign from the Australian Government urging Australians to take out travel insurance before heading overseas.
"Before my turn, 104 others had jumped safely and everyone from my tour group had been and come back," Erin says.
But the bungee cord did not last the 105th jump - it snapped, sending Erin plummeting 110 metres into the rapids. Just as she was making her way to the surface, she realised the cord was caught under a rock.
"That's when I said (to myself), `I don't want to die today'."
Erin managed to swim to the river bank and was taken by stretcher out of the gorge before eventually being airlifted to a hospital in South Africa.
"If I hadn't had travel insurance I would have been hit with a bill for over $50,000," Langworthy said.
The campaign aims to educate Australians about the pitfalls of travelling without appropriate insurance, as well as remind us to register with the Government's Smartraveller website.
"About 14,000 Australians get into some difficulty overseas each year, and that difficulty is going to be a whole lot less if they've got travel insurance and if they're registered with Smartraveller," said the Foreign Minister, Bob Carr.
He also said that Australians without travel insurance risked poor local hospital care and high medical bills.
"It's cheap, it's easy to obtain, and it can save your life when overseas."
There is also a new Smartraveller iPhone app, which allows Australians to register their travel plans without an internet connection. The app is available at www.smarttraveller.gov.au.

Lawsuit Challenges Willits Bypass Freeway to Save Wetlands, Salmon
SAN FRANCISCO, California, May 3, 2012 (ENS) – Four environmental groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the approvals and environmental review for the Willits Bypass, a proposed four-lane freeway around the small town of Willits, in Mendocino County, California.
The groups contend that building the road would damage wildlife habitat, oak woodlands and salmon-bearing streams in Little Lake Valley, and would require the largest wetlands fill permit in Northern California in the past 50 years.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Willits Environmental Center, the Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Environmental Protection Information Center.

"Bulldozing a freeway the size of Interstate 5 through precious wetlands would be wasteful and destructive – a four-lane road is just not needed for the traffic volumes through Willits on Highway 101," said Jeff Miller with the Center for Biological Diversity.
Known as the "Gateway to the Redwoods Heart of Mendocino County," Willits is a primary stop for visitors who want to explore the towering redwood trees along Highway 101, a major coastal route linking Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the North Coast.
For decades, the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, and the Federal Highway Administration have pursued a bypass on Highway 101 around the town of Willits to ease traffic congestion.
The agencies insist on a six-mile, four-lane freeway bypass freeway and refuse to consider or analyze two-lane alternatives or in-town solutions for Willits, population 5,000.
"This is a wake-up call for Caltrans, which should be building efficient public transit and maintaining existing roads, rather than wasting our money and resources clinging to outdated visions of new freeways," said Ellen Drell, board member of the Willits Environmental Center.
"Global climate change, threatened ecosystems and the end of cheap oil are warning signs that we need to change course," said Drell. "The change needs to happen in every community, including here in Willits."
The lawsuit is against Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for violations of the National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act.
For more than 50 years, Caltrans has promoted turning Highway 101 into a four-lane freeway from San Diego to the Oregon border, with a four-lane freeway bypass around Willits.
Caltrans first discussed potential bypass designs and routes through Willits in 1988, but by 1995 had discarded all non-freeway or two-lane alternatives. An environmental review for a four-lane freeway was finalized in 2006.
The California Transportation Commission, the state funding authority, has repeatedly refused to fund a four-lane freeway, so Caltrans proposes to proceed in "phases," grading for four lanes and constructing two lanes with available funds, then constructing two more lanes when funding becomes available.
Yet Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration did not draft a supplemental "environmental impact statement" to look at impacts of this changed design or consider two-lane alternatives.
The four groups are seeking a court order requiring the agencies to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement that considers two-lane alternatives, addresses substantial design changes and considers new information about traffic volumes and environmental impacts.
To obtain the required wetlands fill permit under the Clean Water Act, the state and federal agencies submitted a what the four groups call a "deficient mitigation and monitoring plan" to the Army Corps to "enhance" wetlands.
The plaintiff groups argue that this plan actually alters existing wetlands, causes new impacts to wetlands, endangered species and grazing lands, and makes design changes that were not analyzed or disclosed in the 2006 environmental review.
They contend that the Army Corps improperly issued the permit in February 2012.
"In a time of devastating budget cuts to health, education, social services and the state park system, Caltrans proposes to spend nearly $200 million on an unnecessary project that will seriously degrade the headwaters of the Eel River," said Gary Graham Hughes, executive director at EPIC. "This project is completely out of touch with the needs of the natural and human communities on the North Coast."


» Purified Cotton is the hair of the seed of cultivated varieties of Gossypium hirsutum Linné, or of other species of Gossypium (Fam. Malvaceae), freed from adhering impurities, deprived of fatty matter, bleached, and sterilized in its final container.
Packaging and storage— Package it in rolls of not more than 500 g of a continuous lap, with a light-weight paper running under the entire lap, the paper being of such width that it may be folded over the edges of the lap to a distance of at least 25 mm, the two together being tightly and evenly rolled, and enclosed and sealed in a well-closed container. It may be packaged also in other types of containers if these are so constructed that the sterility of the product is maintained.
Labeling— Its label bears a statement to the effect that the sterility cannot be guaranteed if the package bears evidence of damage or if the package has been opened previously.
Acidity or alkalinity— Thoroughly saturate about 10 g with 100 mL of recently boiled and cooled water, then with the aid of a glass rod press out two 25-mL portions of the water into white porcelain dishes. To one portion add 3 drops of phenolphthalein TS, and to the other portion add 1 drop of methyl orange TS: no pink color develops in either portion.
Residue on ignition 281 — Place about 5 g, accurately weighed, in a porcelain or platinum dish, and moisten with 2 N sulfuric acid. Gently heat the cotton until it is charred, then ignite more strongly until the carbon is completely consumed: not more than 0.20% of residue remains.
Water-soluble substances— Place 10 g, accurately weighed, in a beaker containing 1000 mL of water, and boil gently for 30 minutes, adding water as required to maintain the volume. Pour the water through a funnel into another vessel, and press out the excess water from the cotton with a glass rod. Wash the cotton in the funnel with two 250-mL portions of boiling water, pressing the cotton after each washing. Filter the combined extract and washings, and wash the filter thoroughly with hot water. Evaporate the combined extract and washings to a small volume, transfer to a tared porcelain or platinum dish, evaporate to dryness, and dry the residue at 105 to constant weight: the residue weighs not more than 35 mg (0.35%).
Fatty matter— Pack 10 ± 0.01 g in a Soxhlet extractor provided with a tared receiver, and extract with ether for 5 hours at a rate such that the ether siphons over not less than four times per hour. The ether solution in the flask shows no trace of blue, green, or brownish color. Evaporate the extract to dryness, and dry at 105 for 1 hour: the weight of the residue does not exceed 70 mg (0.7%).
Dyes— Pack about 10 g in a narrow percolator, and extract slowly with alcohol until the percolate measures 50 mL: when observed downward through a column 20 cm in depth, the percolate may show a yellowish color, but neither a blue nor a green tint.
Other foreign matter— The pinches of it taken for the determination of Fiber length contain no oil stains or metallic particles.
Fiber length and Absorbency— Remove it from its wrappings, and condition it for not less than 4 hours in a standard atmosphere of 65 ± 2% relative humidity at 21 ± 1.1 (70 ± 2 F), before determining the Fiber length and Absorbency.
Fiber length— Determine the fiber length of Purified Cotton as directed under Cotton—Fiber Length 691 : not less than 60% of the fibers, by weight, are 12.5 mm or greater in length, and not more than 10% of the fibers, by weight, are 6.25 mm or less in length.
Absorbency— Proceed as directed under Cotton—Absorbency Test 691 : submersion is complete in 10 seconds at a temperature of 25 , and the cotton retains not less than 24 times its weight of water.


There were a total of six men in action around the globe on Saturday.
The outfielder is hitting .293 on the season after going 1-for-7 in a doubleheader on Saturday. He hit his fourth triple of the season and is up to a .934 OPS on the year in the ABL. He has hit seven homers in 40 games for the Bite.
This Australian native that was signed in November has his ERA up to 4.50 on the season after a rough outing on Saturday. He has recorded 10 saves this winter. The 28-year-old could be a factor for the team eventually.
Dale is now hitting .181 on the year after a 0-for-6 day in Australia, playing both games of a doubleheader. He was at third base and has played all over the infield. He has put up a .473 OPS this year and has only two extra-base hits in 94 at-bats. The Padres clearly expect better from this Australian native.
Batting third and playing second base, Quiroz has turned out to be an impressive offensive player in Mexico. The small infieler has plenty of power and continues to have a strong showing this winter. He is hitting .407 in the Mexican winter league playoffs for the Caneros de los Mochis.
Tatis went 0-for-4 on Saturday with two K's. He put up a .866 OPS during the regular winter league season and looks poised to be a real menace to N.L. pitchers for a long time. The Tatis show should begin at some point in 2019 for the Padres.
Batting last for the Navegantes del Magallanes, Torrens was again catching in the playoffs. He put up a .742 OPS in 26 games this winter in Venezuela and continues to be a decent prospect for the Padres who are deep in the catching department.
Our guys had a rough night last nite. Did any of their clubs win? Was this the first round of playoffs for all of them.
It's amazing how one bad outing can destroy an era of a bullpen guy. How legit do you the think Steensel is?
Thanks as always for keeping us informed about our future Padres!

Control of State Senate could rest on presidential outcome
• Published on November 7, 2016 • Last modified on October 9, 2019
Matt Ryan/WMHT
On Tuesday, Democrats could win back the Senate from the Republicans, who have dominated the leadership there for much of the past century.
Changing demographics, the unpopularity of Donald Trump in New York and the efficiency of Hillary Clinton's get –out- the- vote effort, are all contributing to the Democrats' best chance in several years to take over control of the State Senate this Election Day.
Governor Cuomo, who was criticized in past elections for not helping Democrats win seats in the Senate, appears to be seeing the handwriting on the wall and is taking a more active role this year, appearing at rallies on Long Island and New York City.
But Cuomo wants a particular kind of Democrat in the Senate. He's issued a questionnaire, asking their positions on socially progressive issues, like an abortion rights bill, and ethics reform, as well as fiscally conservative measures including the state's property tax cap.
And the governor has lectured Democrats at recent campaign events for Democratic Senate candidates on the importance of both.
"What we've shown is that you can be fiscally responsible and you can be socially progressive," Cuomo told them.
Cuomo's questionnaire also wants to know if candidates support the governor's economic development programs like the Buffalo Billion. Some of the contracts associated with the projects have been the target of federal corruption charges.
The Democrats backed by Cuomo are banking on a boost, and highlighting the link to the governor in campaign ads , including Adam Haber, who is running for an open senate seat on Long Island.
The leader of the Senate Democrats, Andrea Stewart Cousins, says she's very confident that the Democrats will take the Senate this year.
"We have incredible Senators, we have incredible candidates," said Stewart Cousins, who credits a "partnership" with Cuomo, as well as the top of the ticket presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Senator Stewart Cousins and the other Senate Democrats will likely have to form a coalition with a breakaway faction of Democrats, known as the Independent Democratic Conference, if they want to govern the Senate in January.
Senate Republican Leader John Flanagan has been quieter than the Democratic Senate leaders. He has said little publicly since an enthusiastic endorsement of the GOP top of the ticket at the national convention in the summer.
"I am supporting Donald Trump for President", Flanagan said at the Republican National Convention. "And I'm going to do so with grace, with diplomacy, with passion."
Flanagan has since distanced himself from Trump, after the Presidential candidate made controversial remarks about sexually harassing and assaulting women.
The Senate GOP leader has tried to counteract Cuomo's efforts to elect Democrats, saying a vote for a Democratic candidate is a vote for New York City control of the legislature, and it's Mayor, Bill deBlasio.
There is also a corruption scandal on Long Island that's led to the indictment of the Republican Nassau County executive and others, including the father of an incumbent GOP State Senator, Michael Venditto. The scandal could hurt the Long Island bastion of Senate Republicans more than any presidential political dynamics.
Venditto, who is not implicated in the scandal, is running an ad featuring kind words from the father of a child who died from drugged driving, as an attempt to differentiate himself from the negative news.
"He's his own person, with a heart," says the constituent, who says Venditto is helping him to pass a law to help others in similar situations.
Steve Greenberg, a political analyst who is the spokesman for Siena College polls, says don't underestimate the power of Republican Senators to move voters. Many have high name recognition and decades of good constituent services in their districts. Plus, he says, in an increasingly blue state, they are used to appealing to Democratic voters.
"Republicans in New York have gotten used to the fact that they need to get voters who vote Democrat for some offices, to come and support them," Greenberg said.
If the GOP wants to keep power in the Senate without making deals with other factions, they will have to pick up at least one seat. They currently have just 31 members, one short of holding the majority.

Namibia's diversity is a shining example of a nation that has managed to blend different backgrounds into one for the preservation of the hard won freedom that cost thousands of brave Namibians their precious lives. Not once should we think that the differences in ideas, convictions, skin colour or economic classes that exist in our country place some people at a higher level than others. In fact, the heroes who lost their lives during the liberation struggle did so fighting for a common purpose. This common course should be no different in an independent Namibia; the notion of every man for himself and God for us all should not be allowed to entrench itself into the psychy of our nation.
Of course for many, 26 August is a time to rest. This is so because they do not view it as a day of reflection in terms of how our country has fared since attaining Independence and whether the precious lives lost during the struggle were lost in vain or whether it was worth it? The country's growth trajectory should be our yardstick whether our fallen heroes' sacrifices was indeed worth laying down your life for. Now that the war of independence has been won, the presence of a war for economic independence is reason enough for us all to chart a prosperous future for our country by pulling in the same direction.
I have come to learn that developing a nation is similar to a jigsaw concept. The jigsaw classroom is a research-based cooperative learning technique invented and developed in the early 1970s by Elliot Aronson and his students at the University of Texas and the University of California. Since 1971, thousands of classrooms have used jigsaw with great success.
Just as in a jigsaw puzzle, each piece — each student's part — is essential for the completion and full understanding of the final product.
This concept is essential in nation building as well because it helps those involved to understand that no one is better or worse than the other. The success of one is determined by the input of many. In Namibia, National celebrations take place annually at different places, usually near battle zones. Likewise, honours, such as military medals, are handed out on the day to honour worthy Namibians.
All roads leads to Walvis Bay for the commemoration of Heroes Day and this occasion should not be used as a socializing platform for old buddies to catch up, but rather a time for introspection to deduce whether the blood that waters our freedom was not in vain.
We all have heroes, therefore we need to ask ourselves, is my contribution to this great nation anything close to that of my hero?
Of course the contributions will never be the same, but you do not have to be in a war to make a meaningful contribution to the nation. In my view, the reason why we have heroes or role models is for us to tap from their ideals and the work they have done and improve on it.
These words are very relevant to Namibia in its current state, a Namibia which continues to fight for economic emancipation, equal distribution of resources, fair land distribution and the provision of quality basic services for all. All that can only be achieved if we think beyond our individual status and think on a group level. After all, group dynamics are far better at yielding results than individual struggles because group struggles are designed in such a way that all group members gets a share of the winning prize.
It is an undisputed fact that over the years Namibia faced wide-ranging social challenges that had unwanted effects on the populace. Some were self-inflicted and others were as a result of external factor, but one thing that is certain is the fact that time for crying crocodile tears is long gone.
It cannot be right that 26 years after Independence we are still blaming the apartheid regime for today's problems. We might not have the economic power yet, but our leaders had the opportunity to use the political power as leverage to turn things around.
This was not done, and as a result we are still stuck with the very same status quo whereby many cannot afford land, jobs are not there while resources are distributed unequally and those close to power still think they deserve the first bite at the cake before handing the leftovers to those living under poor conditions.
All is not lost for Namibia, in fact, prosperity is still well within Namibia's reach if we keep in mind that the end goal is one.


The most common problem of any Android phone is the raising temperature of the device especially when many CPU-intensive apps are running simultaneously. The same thing may happen on Redmi Note 3. The device's temperature becomes too hot so that its users may feel the heat on his palm. The most confusing part is the fact that most Android phones become too hot whenever heavy games are played. However, that's not the case for Redmi Note 3. Sometimes even all heavy games and camera apps have been closed down, the heating issue simply won't disappear.
Also read : How to Root Locked Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon (Kenzo).
There are 5 tricks you can try to overcome the heating issue on Redmi Note 3. Read on..
This is the most favorite way that every Android users most-likely first to try. How to do that on MIUI? Simply tap on the orner left button and then tap on the X button to close all apps down at the same time. Nevertheless, this might work for many users but if it didn't, simple reboot your phone afterwards.
Another most possible reason is some services are still running in the background even the apps do not appear in the recent apps list. Rooted Redmi Note 3 users can install apps like Purify to block unnecessary services from running in the background at the first time the device rebooting.
Also read : Thunder X Pro Mod to Boost Redmi Note 3 Performance.
Never watch movies or play heavy and graphical-demanding games while your device is still charged. Doing so will not only heat your device up but also make the charging process not effective. This good practice is applicable not only on Redmi Note 3 but also all Android devices.
Some users do not aware if both Mobile Data connection and Wifi connection are turned on at the same time. It is strongly advised to use only one of them or turn all of them off when it is not in use. The same thing is for GPS (location service) and Bluetooth.
Using only original charger is a good practice for all Xiaomi users. Nowadays, it has become common for many users to use third-part power adaptors either the charger part or power bank. Xiaomi has its own original Power Bank which you can use. On top of that, different charging adaptor might have different wattage (Voltage and Ampere). Therefore, using only original charging adaptor will not only avoid unnecessary device heating issue but also keep your battery life longer.
Bloatware apps are any apps that you don't really need it. Mostly they are apps coming pre-installed with your phone. You can either disable their services (prevent them from running) using root-only app like Purify or to completely remove them from your phone. However still, removing pre-installed apps need a rooted device.
Those are five most common tips to handle the heating problem on Redmi Note 3. It can be clearly seen that rooted device can take advantage more rather than unrooted device. Nevertheless, unrooted users can still take advantage of apps like DU Speed Booster, Clean Master, DU Phone Coolers, Cooler Master, and so on.
Furthermore, rooted users can enjoy flashing optimized custom ROM with removed bloatware apps. On the other hand, keeping the system to always run latest MIUI version is the best option for unrooted users.
Have any tips to cool down your Redmi Note 3 temperature based on your experience? Do not hesitate to share them with us in the comment section.

Q: search based on contents of lines above and below a search term So I have a log file that has text like this.. many variations of it though:

m=audio 16468 RTP/AVP 0 8 9 18 120 102 104 103 101 a=rtpmap:0
  pcmu/8000 a=rtpmap:8 pcma/8000 a=rtpmap:9 g722/8000
  a=rtpmap:18 g729/8000 a=fmtp:18 annexb=yes a=rtpmap:120
  opus/48000/2 a=rtpmap:102 iLBC/8000 a=rtpmap:104
  iSAC/32000 a=rtpmap:103 iSAC/16000 a=rtpmap:101
  telephone-event/8000 a=fmtp:101 0-15

and I want to search using something.. notepad++.. grep.. whatever might work for this really.
I need to find only the blocks that have this line..

a=rtpmap:18 g729/8000

But don't have this line within 4 or 5 lines above or below it:

a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000

Any ideas on how I would go about doing this?  I have found posts on how to search for something and then also print out the lines above/below it.. but not have to not show it if one of the lines above and below contain x.

A: Try with this on notepad++ for example: m=audio.*\r?\n(?!(?:^a=.*\r?\n)*^a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000)(?:^a=.*\r?\n)*^a=rtpmap:18 g729/8000\r?\n(?:^a=.*\r?\n)*
That will find m=audio blocks, that must be followed by a= lines.
It will select the whole block as long as it finds a=rtpmap:18 g729/8000 and there is no a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000 on the same block (regarthless of the distance between them)
Note: For notepad++, do not use the '. matches newline'

Gobliins 2 Download (1992 Action adventure Game)
Action adventure Games:

Manual (8 KB)
Download - Easy Setup (260 MB)
Gobliins 2 screenshots:
The second in the series of adventure-puzzle games. In this installation, you only have two imps to control instead of three.
Someone has kidnapped the prince and it's up to you and two hilarious sidekicks, Winkle and Fingus, to rescue him. Winkle is a reckless jokester, while Fingus is careful and has a gift for solving puzzles. Luckily, they're blessed with extraordinary vitality. In other words, they never die. That'll sure come in handy when you're up against Wily Wizard's traps, maniacal monsters, and twisted and perplexing puzzles.
Sequels are a complicated issue. If they can't stand up to the original titles, they're as good as left alone to rot in the closet. Fortunately, this wasn't the case with Gobliins 2, the second installment of Coktel Vision's Gobliiins series, which kept its unique combination of puzzle and fantasy style gameplay still alive and kicking.
In this game you control two characters, Fingus and Winkle: Fingus being the rather intelligent and sophisticated member of the duo, and Winkle being the dumb 'n rude, but ultimately brave, one. Their goal (and yours) is to rescue the King's son, the Prince Buffoon, who has been kidnapped by the evil Amoniak.
What we have here (again) is an adventure/puzzle game, which means that most of the time you'll have to use the right items in the right place in order to move on. Evil kidnappers, sad kings, and a pair of happy-go-lucky adventurers, so what's the buzz? Gobliins 2 makes up for its typical fantasy-themed gameplay with hilarious characters and slapstick humour which, believe me, will send you laughing on the floor. Almost any interaction with the game world will have the goblins reacting in the most incredible (and painful) ways (and, luckily, there's no "game over" here)!
Keep in mind that you're in a fantasy world where reality doesn't fully apply; almost no puzzle solution is straight-forward in the truest sense, which means that you'll have to use your imagination to move on. Know that the least suspected item may solve the situation in the most absurd place! Both fellas can pick up items and exchange some of them for others. Each character may use the same items differently, which means that you'll have to experiment with both. Also, unlike in the previous installment, you can order your characters to move simultaneously, in order to solve certain time-themed puzzles. (That's a nice innovation to the overall challenge.)
Through the course of the game, you may have to travel back and forth from some screens, unlike the previous game which boasted single-screen levels.
The game features once again Pierre Gilhodes' (the guy behind the whole Gobliins series) unique art and style, humour and distinctive character speech. A limited number of Jokers can disclose the current puzzle's solution to you, although using them will totally ruin the game experience. Let's not forget that this game isn't just about making your way to the next level, but also about enjoying its slapstick humour and watching how your goblins react to the various situations that occur while you're striving to find the solution. As said before, each goblin will react differently in each situation. Also, this time, the level password system gave way to a simpler save/load one.
All in all, this game has a unique style and is quite fun, even if it gets difficult and some puzzle solutions become totally absurd! You'll love the characters and the game world, which isn't of your ordinary innocent "fairy-tale for kids" type. Trust me on that.
If you've already played the previous game, I don't need to tell you any more. If you're not familiar with the series, now is the time.
Part of the Goblins series
This is the second game of the Goblins triology, funny and frustrating, though i think it is much more difficult. You play 2 goblins instead of 3 in the first game (that's the reason for only 2 'i's in the title), but the screen puzzles are much more complicated. The sound and graphics are improved from the first, the screen is much more smooth, and the puzzles are much more intractive.
The plot of this game is to save the Goblin King's son (sounds stupid, but it's really not :) Those fuzzy goblins will make you laugh to the bones, and personaly i prefer this game on the first. Highly recommended.
This game has been set up to work on modern Windows (10/8/7/Vista/XP 64/32-bit) computers without problems. Please choose Download - Easy Setup (260 MB).

Moorhead Underpass Project Nearing Completion
July 19, 2021 - 3:27pm | By Kyle Cornell
(Moorhead, MN) -- The SE Main | 20 St | 21 St Underpass is approximately 80% complete.
Temporary hay bales are being removed and replaced with sound dampening curtains to help reduce noise generated by pile driving and sheet pile driving.
Concrete bridge decks are complete for two bridges over 21 St: one for BNSF Railway train traffic and the other for Otter Tail Valley Railroad traffic. The OTVR railroad track is completed and operational. BNSF trains will continue to use the temporary BNSF railroad track until approximately the end of October, when the permanent track is expected to be installed.
Approximately 70% of excavation has been completed (204,000 cubic yards), and 69,000 feet of structural support piling (69% of total contract amount) has been installed. The stormwater pumping station has also been completed.
A second period of night construction is expected to follow completion of the BNSF permanent track in late October/early November. More details on that will be coming in the fall.

We went to install the entertainment system yesterday. I wasn't really happy with the speaker mounts, not due to the mounts themselves, but due to the fact that they were being mounted in 1/8″ paneling with a 2″ air gap and then another 1/8″ panel. Nothing solid and nothing particularly strong. I don't trust them to hold while moving, so I opted to leave the monitors unmounted until I find a good solution to reinforce the paneling. One idea I have is to use spray foam to fill the void between the panels and make it more solid, then use pan head 3″ bolts that run through both panels and into the speaker mounts. For now, we're unplugging them and stashing them on the carpet next to the recliners while in motion. This actually works well and may be a better position, so we may leave them this way. The subwoofer works well with the wireless connection, but I had to put tape over the extremely bright blue LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver. We chose to put it next to the loveseat because it doubles as a table, though now we can't pull the kitchen table chair all the way out. It still moves far enough to sit down, though.
I like the speakers sitting on the base. I'm not going to bother with permanent mounting.

After dispensing with the Big 10, we shift our attention to the other big conference, the Big 12. Here are the Big 12 standings.
So we know what each team achieved, but how did they perform? To answer that, here are the Yards Per Play (YPP), Yards Per Play Allowed (YPA) and Net Yards Per Play (Net) numbers for each Big 12 team. This includes conference play only. The teams are sorted by Net YPP with conference rank in parentheses.
College football teams play either eight or nine conference games. Consequently, their record in such a small sample may not be indicative of their quality of play. A few fortuitous bounces here or there can be the difference between another ho-hum campaign or a special season. Randomness and other factors outside of our perception play a role in determining the standings. It would be fantastic if college football teams played 100 or even 1000 games. Then we could have a better idea about which teams were really the best. Alas, players would miss too much class time, their bodies would be battered beyond recognition, and I would never leave the couch. As it is, we have to make do with the handful of games teams do play. In those games, we can learn a lot from a team's Yards per Play (YPP). Since 2005, I have collected YPP data for every conference. I use conference games only because teams play such divergent non-conference schedules and the teams within a conference tend to be of similar quality. By running a regression analysis between a team's Net YPP (the difference between their Yards per Play and Yards per Play Allowed) and their conference winning percentage, we can see if Net YPP is a decent predictor of a team's record. Spoiler alert. It is. For the statistically inclined, the correlation coefficient between a team's Net YPP in conference play and their conference record is around .66. Since Net YPP is a solid predictor of a team's conference record, we can use it to identify which teams had a significant disparity between their conference record as predicted by Net YPP and their actual conference record. I used a difference of .200 between predicted and actual winning percentage as the threshold for 'significant'. Why .200? It is a little arbitrary, but .200 corresponds to a difference of 1.6 games over an eight game conference schedule and 1.8 games over a nine game one. Over or under-performing by more than a game and a half in a small sample seems significant to me. In the 2015 season, which teams in the Big 12 met this threshold? Here are the Big 12 teams sorted by performance over what would be expected from their Net YPP numbers.
Only two teams boasted a record that was significantly different than what would have been predicted based on their YPP numbers. Both Oklahoma State and Kansas State exceeded what their record should have been according to the numbers. For Oklahoma State, the reason was simple. The Cowboys were 4-0 in one-score games, beating a quartet of middling outfits (Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas, and West Virginia) by a combined 16 points. Three of those games did come on the road, so give them credit for winning away from Stillwater, but the Cowboys did not have the bona fides of an elite team. On the other hand, Kansas State is a different story. Statistically, the Wildcats were the second worst team in the Big 12 by a significant margin. Their offense was only better than that of their in-state brethren and they made up for it by also having one of the worst defenses in the Big 12. So how did a team that was consistently outplayed on a down to down basis by a significant margin manage to qualify for a bowl games? The Wildcats actually sported a slightly below average 2-3 record in one-score Big 12 games, so we can't attribute the difference to their record in close games. We'll have to look elsewhere. One area where Kansas State gained an edge was special teams. The Wildcats returned a punt and three kickoffs for touchdowns in their Big 12 games. Those scores provided the margin of victory in a three point win over Iowa State and a one point win over West Virginia. Another way that Kansas State was able to remain competitive despite their poor overall play was their slow pace.
Based on the plays they ran and the plays their defense faced, the Wildcats saw the least 'action' of any Big 12 team in conference play. The Wildcats saw about twelve fewer plays per game than the average Big 12 team and 25 fewer than Texas Tech, the Big 12 leader in that category. When your offense and defense are both inefficient, shortening the game can pay dividends. Finally, Kansas State benefited from their home schedule. Two of their three league wins came at home (with their only road win coming against perennial punching bag Kansas) and while their loss to Oklahoma was not competitive, the Wildcats lost by just seven points each to TCU and Baylor in Manhattan.
One of the major storylines in college football since 2010 has been realignment. Every FBS conference has seen some kind of membership change since the end of the 2010 season. In fact, some conferences have ceased to exist entirely. The Big 12 has been one of the more interesting cases, as three other power conferences raided it. The Big 12 in turn plundered the Big East and Mountain West to steady its membership. When the dust had cleared, the Big 12 lost four teams and added two bringing the total membership to ten teams. The marquee programs in the conference post-realignment are of course, Oklahoma and Texas. While the Sooners have pulled their weight in the conference, and on the national level, Texas has struggled. The Longhorns have endured a pair of losing seasons and have not won the conference since 2009. In the midst of the struggles by the Longhorns, a quartet of non-traditional powers has emerged to ensure the Big 12 remains a player on the national stage.
Between 1980 and 2011, Texas and Oklahoma combined for three national titles, 19 conference titles (in the Big 8, Southwest, and Big 12 conferences), 21 top-ten finishes in the AP Poll, and 41 top-25 AP Poll finishes. Those are pretty good numbers. In that same time span, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and TCU combined for zero national titles, 12 conference titles (with most coming courtesy of TCU in mid-major leagues), nine top-ten finishes in the AP Poll, and 31 top-25 AP Poll finishes. The table below summarizes what I just typed.
However, since 2012, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and TCU have been torchbearers for the Big 12. Oklahoma and Texas have combined for two conference titles, three top-ten finishes in the AP Poll, and four top-25 AP Poll finishes. Oklahoma has contributed all the conference titles, all three of the top-ten finishes, and three of the four top-25 finishes. Meanwhile, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and TCU have combined for four conference titles (with only Oklahoma State failing to register at least a shared title), three top-ten finishes in the AP Poll, and ten top-25 AP Poll finishes. Again, take a gander at the table that summarizes these results.
If we look at just Big 12 performance, the results are even more revealing.
While Oklahoma has the best Big 12 record in that span, Baylor is a close second with Kansas State and Oklahoma State tied for third. TCU is tied with Texas for fifth, but the Horned Frogs have more dominant of late, having gone 15-3 the past two seasons after a 6-12 start to major conference life.
What does all this mean for the Big 12? The good news is that teams have risen while Texas has fallen. While Oklahoma remains the bell cow for the conference, other teams have popped up intermittently to keep the Big 12 on the national radar. The bad news is that these teams may not have staying power. Baylor was an abject dumpster fire until Art Briles got there. They had some moderate success in the 80s and early 90s, but since the Big 12 started, they were the weakest link. The infrastructure has improved, but how far will they fall once Briles leaves? Similarly, Kansas State may have been the worst FBS program when Bill Snyder arrived in the late 80s. During his brief retirement, the Wildcats were middling at best. Snyder will be vacating Manhattan much sooner rather than later. What will the Wildats do when he is gone (for good this time)? Oklahoma State had some good teams under Pat Jones in the 80s (and briefly Les Miles), but Mike Gundy has raised the program to new heights. With that T. Boone Pickens money, the Cowboys may be well positioned for success when Gundy leaves, but it is far from guaranteed. Finally, TCU has exceeded their historical levels under coach Gary Patterson. He has been in Fort Worth for a decade and a half and seen the Horned Frogs go from mid-major power to Big 12 contender. How will this program fare when he leaves? Success of upstarts has played a key role in keeping the Big 12 relevant in the national picture during uncertain times. However, relying on these upstarts to remain prosperous after their regimes change may not be prudent. Perhaps the best case scenario for the Big 12 is a return to glory for another old money program, Texas.
Last week, we looked at how Big 10 teams fared in terms of yards per play. This week, we turn our attention to how the season played out in terms of the Adjusted Pythagorean Record, or APR. For an in-depth look at APR, click here. If you didn't feel like clicking, here is the Reader's Digest version. APR looks at how well a team scores and prevents touchdowns. Non-offensive touchdowns, field goals, extra points, and safeties are excluded. The ratio of offensive touchdowns to touchdowns allowed is converted into a winning percentage. Pretty simple actually.
Once again, here are the 2015 Big 10 standings.
Northwestern was the only Big 10 team with a record substantially different than their expected record based on APR. There was also a positive disconnect between the Wildcats record and their expected record based on YPP. We covered that last week, so unlike Marco Rubio, we won't repeat ourselves here. Instead, we'll take a closer look at Paul Chryst and his first Wisconsin team.
Last week I introduced a new throwaway metric to measure the impact of a coach changing jobs at the FBS level. Since Paul Chryst was the reason I researched the issue, I decided to name the metric after him. Now this week, I want to take a look at how the Badgers performed offensively under Chryst in his first season at the helm. I really have no personal vendetta against Paul Chryst. These are merely observations.
I have touchdown and yards per play data (in conference play) for every FBS team going back to 2005. The chart below lists the offensive touchdowns scored and yards per play averaged by the Badgers in Big 10 play since 2005 with their rank in the conference in parentheses. For easy reference, the chart is color coded based on who was coaching the team. Four different gentlemen have guided the Badgers on the gridiron during this time span: Barry Alvarez (2005), Bret Bielema (2006-2012), Gary Andersen (2013-2014), and Paul Chryst (2015).
Obviously, Chryst's struggles stand out like a sore thumb. The Badgers endured their lowest touchdown and yards per play output under his watch. Not only, were their raw numbers the lowest in the period examined, but their place among the other Big 10 teams was also at its nadir. Sure, the Badgers suffered injuries in 2015, but their precipitous decline from their historical baselines and particularly from the prior season (when they were second in touchdowns and first in yards per play) has to be at least a little disturbing for Badger fans. Chryst was the team's offensive coordinator from 2006-2011, when they were running roughshod over the rest of the Big 10 with their power running game and solid, but unspectacular quarterback play (with the exception of their one-year rental of Russell Wilson), so maybe things will turn around. Or maybe Chryst is in over his head as a head coach as could be inferred from his wholly mediocre three seasons at Pitt. In all likelihood, we will get to find out.
I'll close with a little more statistical minutia regarding the impotence of the Wisconsin offense in 2015. For the first time since 2004, Wisconsin failed to have a single back top 1000 yards rushing. Dare Ogunbowale led the Badgers with 819 yards on the ground in 2015. This total would have ranked behind the second leading rusher for Wisconsin teams in 2014, 2013, 2010, and 2008 (and just 13 yards more than the second leading rushing in 2012). From 2005-2014, six Badgers rushed for over 1000 yards in a season. These six backs (Brian Calhoun, PJ Hill, John Clay, Montee Ball, James White, and Melvin Gordon) combined for twelve 1000 yard seasons. Four of those backs, Calhoun, Ball, White, and Gordon, were drafted by NFL teams.
Two conference reviews down, eight to go. We move on to the B's now. Here are the Big 10 standings.
College football teams play either eight or nine conference games. Consequently, their record in such a small sample may not be indicative of their quality of play. A few fortuitous bounces here or there can be the difference between another ho-hum campaign or a special season. Randomness and other factors outside of our perception play a role in determining the standings. It would be fantastic if college football teams played 100 or even 1000 games. Then we could have a better idea about which teams were really the best. Alas, players would miss too much class time, their bodies would be battered beyond recognition, and I would never leave the couch. As it is, we have to make do with the handful of games teams do play. In those games, we can learn a lot from a team's Yards per Play (YPP). Since 2005, I have collected YPP data for every conference. I use conference games only because teams play such divergent non-conference schedules and the teams within a conference tend to be of similar quality. By running a regression analysis between a team's Net YPP (the difference between their Yards per Play and Yards per Play Allowed) and their conference winning percentage, we can see if Net YPP is a decent predictor of a team's record. Spoiler alert. It is. For the statistically inclined, the correlation coefficient between a team's Net YPP in conference play and their conference record is around .66. Since Net YPP is a solid predictor of a team's conference record, we can use it to identify which teams had a significant disparity between their conference record as predicted by Net YPP and their actual conference record. I used a difference of .200 between predicted and actual winning percentage as the threshold for 'significant'. Why .200? It is a little arbitrary, but .200 corresponds to a difference of 1.6 games over an eight game conference schedule and 1.8 games over a nine game one. Over or under-performing by more than a game and a half in a small sample seems significant to me.In the 2015 season, which teams in the Big 10 met this threshold? Here are the Big 10 teams sorted by performance over what would be expected from their Net YPP numbers.
The Big 10 saw a large number of teams (six) teams finish with records that did not match their YPP numbers. And let's deal with the elephant in the room. Yes, the numbers say Penn State was the second best team in the league. If you look closely though, you will see that outside of Ohio State, there were no dominant teams in the Big 10 this year. However, some did post dominant records. More on that in a moment. Illinois, Minnesota, and Maryland under-performed based on their YPP numbers while Iowa, Northwestern, and Michigan State produced better records than one would expect. Illinois began the year with an interim head coach after allegations of player abuse cost Tim Beckman his job just before the season started. The Illini cannot blame close losses for the disparity between their record and their expected record. The Illini actually won their only close conference game, edging Nebraska 14-13. Despite finishing with a 5-7 record, Illinois elected to retain coach Bill Cubit. Not all were pleased with this decision. Like Illinois, Minnesota also ended the year with an interim coach, and they too decided to keep him on despite a losing record. Jerry Kill's health issues resurfaced in 2015 and his abrupt retirement meant Tracy Claeys was now in charge. The Gophers lost a pair of tight games to good teams (Michigan and Iowa) en route to their 2-6 conference finish and were marginally competitive against both Ohio State and Wisconsin. Maryland, like the Gophers and Illini (sensing a theme here?) also ended the year with an interim coach. Randy Edsall was fired after a 2-4 start and disgraced former New Mexico head coach Mike Locksley replaced him. Locksley guided the Terrapins to just one win in their final six games, but that was half as many as he had in nearly five times as many games in the Land of Enchantment. And he avoided a sexual harassment scandal to boot. Maryland was more competitive under Locksley, losing one-score games to both Penn State and Wisconsin under his guidance. For the triumvirate of teams that exceeded their YPP numbers, close games told the story. Iowa, Northwestern, and Michigan State finished a combined 12-1 in one-score conference games with the only loss coming in controversial fashion by the Spartans. Iowa also posted a +13 turnover margin in Big 10 plays (tops in the conference). Iowa, Northwestern, and Michigan State produced gaudy regular season records, but in their bowl games, they were beaten by a combined score of 128-22, providing further ammunition for the argument that they were not quite as good as their record indicated.
Now, I am going to throw some shade toward Mr. Paul Chryst.
Around midseason when Pitt began to look like a contender in the ACC Coastal Division, it looked like they had made a coaching upgrade when their former head coach, Paul Chryst, took the Wisconsin job. Obviously, except in extremely rare instances, one season does not serve as the final evaluation in the success or failure of a head coach. Still, I thought it would be interesting to look at coaches who change jobs and see how both their former and current teams performed with them at and not at the helm. I decided to call my little throwaway metric 'The Chryst Index' or TCI. Basically what TCI measures is how much worse the coach's old team got when he left combined with how much better his new team got when he arrived. Here is a quick rundown on how it is calculated.
1. For starters, TCI can only be measured for coaches who move from one FBS job to another.
2. Start with the coach's final season at his old job. Subtract the final regular season win total of this season from the final regular season win total under the new coach.
3. Next, move on to the coach's first season at his new job. Take the final regular season win total of this season and subtract the final regular season win total of the previous season (the last under the previous coach).
4. Subtract the value from step 2 from the value in step 3. This is the TCI number for the coach. As in most things, more is better.
I know that might be a little confusing, but here is how the math plays out for the eponymous Chryst in 2015. His last Pitt team went 6-6 in 2014. Pitt improved to 8-4 in their first season without him. Subtracting 6 from 8 gives us 2. Pitt improved by two games without Chryst, which reflects negatively on him. His first team at Wisconsin went 9-3. Wisconsin went 10-2 in the regular season before Chryst's arrival. 9-10 gives us -1. Wisconsin declined by one game when Cyryst arrived. Again, this reflects negatively on him. When we subtract the previous value (2) from -1, we get -3. Only four coaches could be evaluated by TCI for the 2015 season. They are listed below.
In leading Florida to the SEC East crown, Jim McElwain was the only FBS coach to change jobs who had a net positive impact on his teams, both new and old. Chryst ranks last among the quartet of coaches who changed jobs in 2015, but his TCI of -3 is far from the worst of the last decade. Before we get to those esteemed gentlemen, let's look at those coaches who produced the highest TCI since 2006.
Aside from Gus Malzahn, who improved Auburn by an amazing 8 games, most of these coaches benefited from the teams they left careening off a cliff. Some of this is probably a little by design. Hoke, Fedora, Sumlin, and Kelly had all been at their respective schools for at least three years and had been building for this season that achieved a level of success that was out of place for the school's historical standards. Not only did they lose the coach, but they often lost a lot of really good players from those teams. As for whether a high TCI is a portent of future success, well that is a mixed bag. Brian Kelly has to be considered a success at Notre Dame and Hoke was certainly successful at San Diego State, but Malzahn and Sumlin will enter 2016 on pretty warm seats. Before winning the ACC Coastal in 2015, Fedora was also feeling the heat in Chapel Hill. Now on to the coaches who produced the worst TCI numbers since 2006. Alas, Chryst does not quite make the cut.
Aside from Dan Hawkins, who saw Boise go from a cute mid-major to a burgeoning national power upon his departure, no other coach on this list saw his former team drastically improve. No, they 'earned' their position because their new teams struggled. Unlike a high TCI, a low TCI seems to herald trouble for a new coach. Dan Hawkins stuck around Colorado for parts of five seasons, but guided the Buffaloes to only one bowl game and zero winning seasons. Steve Kragthorpe lasted three years at Louisville and produced no winning seasons. Tim Beckman almost made it to his fourth season at Illinois, but also failed to produce a winning season. Dave Doeren has been moderately successful since his disastrous initial campaign at NC State, but the Wolfpack are just 2-16 against ACC teams not located in Winston-Salem or Syracuse. Skip Holtz is by far the biggest success story, rebounding from a poor first season to post back-to-back nine win campaigns at Louisiana Tech.
TCI is not the final word on rating a new football coach, but it can be a useful, if flawed, tool to examine how a coach performed in his first season.
Next week, the Big 10 gets the APR treatment, and we'll take a closer look at Chryst's first Wisconsin team.
Last week, we looked at how ACC teams fared in terms of yards per play. This week, we turn our attention to how the season played out in terms of the Adjusted Pythagorean Record, or APR. For an in-depth look at APR, click here. If you didn't feel like clicking, here is the Reader's Digest version. APR looks at how well a team scores and prevents touchdowns. Non-offensive touchdowns, field goals, extra points, and safeties are excluded. The ratio of offensive touchdowns to touchdowns allowed is converted into a winning percentage. Pretty simple actually.
Once again, here are the 2015 ACC standings.
Finally, the ACC teams are sorted by the difference between their actual number of wins and their expected number of wins according to APR.
The ACC saw four teams with significant differences between their APR and actual record. Three of those teams (Boston College, Georgia Tech, and Miami) also saw large differences between their actual record and their record as predicted by their YPP differential. We discussed those three teams last week, so we won't rehash it here. The other team with a significant difference between their APR and actual record was Duke. The Blue Devils did not have a phenomenal record in close games (3-2) to pump up their place in the standings, but they did have a few blowout losses (35 points to North Carolina and 18 points to Pitt) that tramped down their APR. In fact, the margin in their 35 point loss to the Tar Heels was more than the margin in their four conference victories (24 total points).
If you watched any Boston College football games this season, you may have noticed the Eagles didn't put a lot of points on the board. Yes, they had a harder time scoring than a pimply hunchback at a Kappa Kappa Gamma mixer (thanks, I'm here all weekend). Seriously, though, their offense may have been the worst in college football. However, despite their offensive struggles, the Eagles were competitive in most of their games thanks to a strong defense. This combination of ineptitude and competence got me thinking and in my thinking, I created something I deemed the 'Excitement Index'. The concept is pretty simple. Most people watch football for the scoring, more specifically, the touchdowns (no one likes field goals). Maybe you are a football snob and you enjoy watching pulling guards smash into linebackers, but I would argue most fans are not that nuanced (or sober). No, they want to see touchdowns. I have APR data for each FBS conference going back to 2005, so I looked at the total number of offensive touchdowns scored and allowed for each team in every conference game dating back more than a decade. I simply added up the offensive touchdowns each team scored with the touchdowns they allowed and divided by the number of conference games played. Why did I use conference games? Well, I have that data readily available. So how does Boston College rate in the 'Excitement Index'? They are the least exciting team since at least 2005. The average Boston College game in 2015 saw just two and a half combined offensive touchdowns. Boston College as well as the other least exciting teams since 2005 are listed below.
Let me be clear, this is not a slight at Boston College. For my money, their 3-0 'boring' loss to my alma mater (Wake Forest) was a very exciting game. However, I doubt many folks who are not fans of either team switched over to that game. Had the score been something like 70-66, it might have garnered the attention of a few more casual fans. So Boston College ranked dead last of all teams since 2005 in the 'Excitement Index'. Did any team from 2015 rank first? No. But one team did rank second all time in the measure. You'll have to wait until we get to that conference before I divulge their identity. That's what we in the business call a tease. I'll give you a (probably not needed) hint. They play in the Big 12.

Als Wirtschaftswald oder Nutzwald werden mehr oder weniger intensiv bewirtschaftete Wälder bezeichnet, die in hohem Maße extraktiv (z. B. Brennholznutzung, Kahlschlag, Hutewald u. ä.) oder zur Produktion (vor allem von Holz) genutzt werden. Wird der Wirtschaftswald durch Aufforstung langfristig nutzbar erhalten und die Baumartenzusammensetzung gezielt nach wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten kontrolliert, wird vornehmlich der Begriff Forst verwendet.

Wirtschaftswald unterscheidet sich vom Urwald und anderen nicht oder nur sehr geringfügig bewirtschafteten Waldflächen, zum Beispiel vom Sekundärwald. Der "Wirtschaftswald außer regelmäßigem Betrieb" wird gelegentlich auch als Nichtwirtschaftswald oder Ausschlusswald bezeichnet.

Nationales

Deutschland
In der Forstverwaltung wird der Begriff Wirtschaftswald in der Betriebsplanung verwendet und hierbei wesentlich enger ausgelegt. Grundsätzlich gehören nur Holzbodenflächen zum Wirtschaftswald. Diese werden zum Beispiel im Saarland unterschieden in:
 den "Wirtschaftswald im regelmäßigen Betrieb" (WW i. r. B), der alle Holzbodenflächen, die einer regelmäßigen Bewirtschaftung unterliegen, umfasst;
 den "Wirtschaftswald außer regelmäßigem Betrieb" (WW a. r .B), der alle Holzbodenflächen, die nicht regelmäßig bewirtschaftet werden können, oder deren nachhaltige Nutzungsmöglichkeit für absehbare Zeit unter 1 Erntefestmeter Derbholz je Jahr und ha liegt, umfasst;
 oder den "Sonderwirtschaftswald mit erhöhtem Betriebsaufwand" (WW m.e.B). Dieser umfasst Waldflächen die nicht regelmäßig bewirtschaftet werden können, aber im Unterschied zum WW a.r.B besonderen Arbeitsaufwand erfordern. Hierunter fallen insbesondere Flächen in Bereichen mit erhöhter Verkehrssicherungspflicht wie zum Beispiel Steilhänge an Bebauungsrändern oder an Straßen.

In Deutschland ist der Wirtschaftswald die nahezu ausschließliche Form des Waldes. Laut einer Studie des Bundesamtes für Naturschutz werden 97 % des deutschen Waldes mehr oder weniger intensiv wirtschaftlich genutzt, nur 2,8 % sind frei von Nutzung (Stand April 2019). Dies steht einem 2007 gesetztem Ziel der Bundesregierung entgegen, bis 2020 5 % des Waldes nutzungsfrei zu machen.

Schädlingsbekämpfung
Zur Schädlingsbekämpfung in den Nutzwäldern werden Pestizide wie Cyhalothrin und Tebufenozid versprüht.
