  2. geebus - this is not the kind of pouring rain thread I wanted to read. godspeed and all the prayers for everyone - and brisket, don't forget to keep your roots strong
  3. winter weight is no joke. it's easy to fatten up while eating out up there. some good restaurants around downtown area. state street is like a 6th street for the college. fun to go to and it does turn into amateur hour. the lake is fun during the summer and you'll see ice fishermen in the winter. they also do the wind buggies in the winter which are awesome to watch. something I want to do at some point in my life. fly fishing in the spring after the thaw is legit. lots of good beers up there and a few vineyards around the area. Wisconsin beef is pretty damn good and you'll find some good greasy spoon spots with good burgers winter does suck so get ready to shovel snow - last time I was up there it snowed nearly 3 feet overnight. my favorite (read sarcasm) are the Wisconsin roadblocks...aka 2 minivans driving 55mph and blocking the loop traffic.

  6. From the Vote for Augie and CWS database: 1950 CWS: Texas became the first team to win two consecutive College World Series. Former Texas football and baseball star Bibb Falk led the Longhorns to the first title at Rosenblatt Stadium with a 3-0 victory against Washington State. Jim Ehrler also tossed the first no-hitter in CWS history, against Tufts College in the third round. Ehrler struck out 14 Jumbos. Ehrler also came close to pitching a shutout in the championship game, but was replaced by a pinch runner after in the seventh. Ehrler also was the only pitcher to earn a win in the championship game on two separate occasions (1949, 1950). 1949: Texas coach Bibb Falk won his first of two back-to-back titles. The CWS field, moved to Wichita, Kan., in part due to financial difficulties, was expanded from two to four teams, a result of a more regional approach to the qualifying process. In the final game, Longhorn Tom Hamilton had four RBIs and one home run, and teammate Jim Shamblin went 5 for 6 with a triple, a double, three RBIs and one run as Texas beat Wake Forest 10-3. 1975: Richard Wortham, whose pitching future was jeopardized by an accident the previous October, hurled a four-hitter to give Texas the championship. Wortham, with the help of Mickey Reichenbach's two-run homer in the third, beat South Carolina 5-1 in the windup to the double-elimination tournament. The Longhorns, benefiting from the bye that gave them an off night the night before, won their third CWS title. The Longhorns had been in Omaha for more tournaments than any other club. Their first two titles were under 25-year coach Bibb Falk. South Carolina, in its sixth year under coach Bobby Richardson, had never been in the CWS. 1983: The difference was desire. Texas players and coaches agreed on that as the Longhorns completed their undefeated trip through the College World Series with a 4-3 victory over Alabama to earn their fourth national championship. "We wanted this more than any other thing," said Longhorn shortstop Mike Brumley, who scored Texas' go-ahead run in the seventh inning. Coach Cliff Gustafson had a similar answer when asked the difference between that season and the previous year's fourth-place finish. "I would say we had more of a never say die attitude," Gustafson said. Texas won the double-elimination tournament while going unbeaten in five games. Alabama, with one loss, would have needed to win that contest to set up a championship win. Texas right-hander Calvin Schiraldi, who picked up two pitching victories for the Longhorns, was named the most valuable player. "Timely hitting and pitching — that's what did it for us," said Brumley, who scored Texas' third run. "That's what has done it for us all year. We've got to feel great we won it." Most Outstanding Player Calvin Schiraldi, Texas The right-hander picked up two victories for the champion Longhorns, pitching 14 1/3 innings, striking out 16 and allowing just one earned run. Schiraldi stopped James Madison 12-0 on five hits in the tournament opener, then struck out 11 in 5 1/3 innings of relief against Alabama in the winners' bracket final.

The victory gave Texas its fifth national championship and Augie Garrido his fourth — his first three came when he was at Cal State Fullerton. The championship qualities that Garrido saw in those Fullerton teams were first displayed by the Longhorns the previous fall. It was then that he started talking about how his sixth team at Texas had what it takes to win it all. No Longhorn knew that any better than did Carmichael, who missed all of the 2001 season with a wrist injury. His hard work to get back for his senior season wasn't always rewarded as he spent most of the 2002 season playing a reserve role. He had batted just 57 times prior to the championship game at Rosenblatt Stadium, but unexpectedly found himself in the starting lineup. The most important award the Longhorns would cart back home would be the championship trophy that Texas added to the ones it picked up for winning in 1949, 1950, 1975 and 1983. The 13-year drought between titles hadn't always been easy for Texas fans to accept, and no one knew that better than Garrido. Most Outstanding Player Huston Street, Texas Texas relief pitcher Huston Street was named the CWS most outstanding player, one of five Longhorns to make the all-tournament team. Street set a CWS record by picking up four saves, finishing every win for Texas. Street allowed just two hits and one run in 6 1/3 innings. Only three freshmen had previously won the award, with Pat Burrell of Miami the last in 1996 All-Tournament Team Michael Johnson, Clemson, 1b, Jr. Tim Moss, Texas, 2b, So.

Huston Street, Texas, p, Fr 2005: Three hundred sixty four days after leaving Rosenblatt Stadium as red-faced runners-up, Texas celebrated a national championship in 2005. J. Brent Cox's strikeout of Florida's Stephen Barton sealed Texas' 6-2 victory and a sweep of the College World Series best-of-three championship series. A year before, Taylor Teagarden was among the Longhorns who refused to come out to accept the second-place trophy after getting swept in the championship series by Cal State Fullerton. They said it was a mix-up, even though NCAA officials had informed them of the on-field ceremony. They were roasted in the days that followed for what some perceived as a lack of sportsmanship. The 2005 championship came from a group that struggled at various times during the season, finishing third in its conference. But once they hit Omaha, the Longhorns were unbeatable in five wins that hiked their record to 56-16. Texas outscored its five opponents 24-8. Texas pitchers posted a 1.40 ERA and struck out 41 hitters in 45 innings. The defense was outstanding, turning six double plays and committing just three errors. No two Longhorns stepped up more on championship Sunday than pitcher Kyle McCulloch and third baseman David Maroul. McCulloch, a sophomore right-hander, picked up his second CWS win, and his 12th of the season, with a dominating performance that saw Florida (48-23) go hitless until the fifth inning Most Outstanding Player David Maroul, Texas Maroul became just the fifth third baseman in history to claim the award after hitting .500 for the CWS and starring in both games of Texas' championship series sweep of Florida. In Sunday's 6-2 win, Maroul hammered a three-run home run and drove in the game's first run with one of his two singles. In Saturday's 4-2 victory, he hit a two-run homer and added a single and a double.

  11. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/ai-detects-movement-through-walls-using-wireless-signals/ar-AAyz5LY?ocid=spartanntp You don't need exotic radar, infrared or elaborate mesh networks to spot people through walls -- all you need are some easily detectable wireless signals and a dash of AI. Researchers at MIT CSAIL have developed a system (RF-Pose) that uses a neural network to teach RF-equipped devices to sense people's movement and postures behind obstacles. The team trained their AI to recognize human motion in RF by showing it examples of both on-camera movement and signals reflected from people's bodies, helping it understand how the reflections correlate to a given posture. From there, the AI could use wireless alone to estimate someone's movements and represent them using stick figures. The scientists mainly see their invention as useful for health care, where it could be used to track the development of diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. It could also help some elderly people stay in their own homes by sending alerts if they fall or otherwise show signs of trouble. And since the technology is 83 percent reliable for identifying people in large groups (as many as 100 people), it could be helpful for search-and-rescue operations where it's important to know who you're looking for. Refinements could lead to 3D images that reveal even slight movements, such as a shaking hand. It's hard to escape the potential privacy concerns. This could theoretically be used to spy on nearby buildings, or follow peopl to their destination even if they duck around a corner. However, CSAIL has a privacy solution in mind: it's developing a "consent mechanism" that would require performing specific movements before tracking kicks in. If that safeguard persisted in real-world applications, you wouldn't have to worry about losing your privacy for the sake of convenience.
