gStrings in Your Pocket
What may sound like a perverse concept is actually one of the many ways smartphones can change your life. If you play a musical instrument but don't happen to have perfect pitch (most of us, sadly), you can buy a tuner, pitch pipe, tuning fork or any number of other aids to keep yourself in tune. If you have a smartphone in your pocket, however, you also can simply download gStrings. Available in the Android Marketplace in either a free ad-supported version or an inexpensive ad-free version, gStrings will help you tune any number of instruments accurately.
Although it's certainly no replacement for perfect pitch, having a tuner in your pocket is very convenient if you're a musician. Quite a few tuning apps are available for Android, but I've used gStrings personally, and it works great: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.cohortor.gstrings.

Yeah, it's handy when you
Yeah, it's handy when you need something to tune with quickly, but if you're practicing, a $15 Korg tuner is still the best. I've found that sometimes when the app loads, it'll freeze. Not sure if that's an app or a phone problem though.
It is really nice the fact
It is really nice the fact that you can do this with your own smartphone and I am sure that there are a lot of users who can do this.

It's very useful
I play a C-Melody sax with a Jody traditional hard rubber tenor mouthpiece, and so it's a bit difficult to tune. I've been using gStrings for a couple of months now - very useful.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Please help! I had my well deepened about 9 weeks ago and have been dealing with very cloudy water since. The driller told me to flush the well and I have been flushing but it has made no difference. The water is still not clearing up. The driller agrees that it should have cleared by now. We had the casing inspected and found it to be OK. At this point, I am not sure where the dirty water is coming from and have no idea of how to fix it. The driller recommended adding Filter AG to an existing neutralizer tank that we no longer use. We went with his advise but the filter made no difference. In fact, it made the problem worse as now I not only have dirty water but my water pressure has also suffered. I am at my wits end. What are my options for getting rid of this dirty water? The driller is not super helpful and is not stepping up to offer too much help. I have been on his case and finally he agreed to come back and inspect the casing but that's all he has done so far. Any ideas of what can be causing it? What options do I have?
Before we deepened, my well was 300' and the water coming it was crystal clear. We deepened the well to 560' and now it comes out very cloudy, almost looks like diluted milk. Please help!

What is Your Favorite Type of Sandal?<KYSS Corral
Missoula's a sandal town. We've got trails, rivers, and parks that render shoes useless -unless it's winter. Although, some diehard sandal-wearers have been known to sport the straps in January. If it's spring, summer, or fall, most people are wearing sandals. If it gets too cold, just throw on some wool socks underneath your sandals. No one will judge you. Besides, everyone's doing it. Since Missoula is such a big sandal town, there's a bit of a rivalry between sandal brands. The big three are Chacos, Tevas, and Birkenstocks, but Keen, Sanuks, and Vibram are becoming more popular. Where do your allegiances lie?

Tucked away in a corner, hidden in a crumbling brick alley, is a strange shop. A small window reveals little, as most of it is covered in dirt. The door is equally mysterious, made of glass but covered in a strange sheen. An old-fashioned, weathered wooden sign hangs from a rusty wire; you can barely make out the words "The Lair", scrawled in green paint. A bell tinkers as you enter the shop, curious as to what lies within.
There's no one there, just a few cages containing creatures wreathed in shadows, some pots, and other miscellaneous items. On the counter is a small card with some writing on it, in green ink.
Hm. Well.
There's a notebook on the counter with some information on it, but not much. You decide to take a better look around. It seems that the shop is divided into several sections.
One section has numerous pots and potion-jars of sorts. One pot has a sign in it that says "Garden Center".
Another section contains a number of white mice in several large cages, as well as some food, mouse-catching equipment and other related items. A gnawed-on sign in one of the cages denotes the section as a "Mousiporium". That's not a word.
Behind the counter are several shelves crammed with scrolls and other strange things. Stuck to the side of the endmost shelf is a yellowed label that reads "Knick-knacks and Magical Doohickery". Um. You're not sure if those are words either.
The rest of the shop seems empty.

It's A Double Dose of Family Fun This Weekend At HPT.Com Speedway
(Topeka, KS) ˆ Race tracks from time to time will like to do something different. So far in 2011, HPT.Com Speedway has tried a lot of different things. Each of these new items were brought in to help boost the excitement at a place that was already over flowing with excitement. This season the folks at Heartland Park have been working hard to make the whole family have fun each time they venture out to Heartland Park Topeka. This weekend will have a ton of excitement as the BriggsAuto.Com Super Saturday Showdown Series takes place on Saturday night and then on Sunday HPT.Com Speedway will be hosting the Advantage Metals Recycling Demolition Derby.
Fans will get to see their great dirt track racing on the first night and on the 2nd day fans will get a full dose of mayhem with an old-fashioned demo derby. The weekend has another big plus, all kids 12 and under get in FREE all weekend long!
This weekend is shaping up to be one of the best of the entire year.
Racing at HPT.Com Speedway this season has been great. Last Saturday night, Steven Bowers Jr., Steve Herrick, Randy Kohn and Dalton Kirk all drove to victory lane.
Kirk was the big winner of the night. He won the White Line CDL Training B Mod A Main and in doing so, became the first driver in that class to repeat as a feature winner.
While the action stays on hot on the race track, the points for the season championship are beginning to take shape as well. Cody Agler, Steve Herrick, AJ Christian and Dustin Thulin all lead their respective divisions, but the points races are far from over with. This Saturday night will be just another rung in the ladder for the competitors and the fans won't want to miss a minute of the action.
Sunday's event will be more laid back. Destruction and mayhem will be on the card as drivers in 4 classes, 80's and newer, Front Wheel Drive Compacts, Trucks and Compacts! The titles just scream, FUN!
The fun won't stop until there is one driver left standing. This is something that is not normal at HPT.Com Speedway, but it should be a fun break from the norm.
Action on Saturday night will begin with the spectator gates opening at 5:30 p.m., hot laps begin at 6:15 p.m. and the racing action starts at 7:00 p.m. Adult tickets are $10, kids 12 and under are free. Fans can still get discounted tickets by ordering online at hpt.com.
Sunday's schedule will get started with the spectator gates opening up at 1:30 p.m. and the destruction starts at 2:30 p.m. Adult tickets are $15 for this event and kids 12 and under are free.

How to Apply Share Share up Section down To submit an application, please go here. If you are interested in receiving information about future ATLA opportunities, please sign up for the ATLA listserv. Please do not hesitate to contact the administrator if you have any questions at email@example.com Frequently Asked Questions Share Share up Section down Q: What is the philosophy behind the award? Computers and the Internet are powerful tools that provide opportunities for people to improve their social and economic well-being. They can help individuals, regardless of age, race, income or geography, pursue education and employment, access government services, learn about valuable health information, conduct business online, and exchange information and ideas. The foundation's Global Libraries initiative is dedicated to opening a world of knowledge and opportunity by partnering with public libraries to provide free access to computers and the Internet. Previous Access to Learning Award (ATLA) recipients are helping people in some of the world's most remote and poverty-stricken areas live healthier, more productive lives. ATLA highlights the innovative ways libraries and similar organizations are providing services to people in need and aims to promote development and replication of new ways to increase public access to information technology around the world. Q. What kinds of institutions can apply? We invite public libraries or similar organizations outside the United States to apply, if they currently provide free public access to information through the use of computers and the Internet. The foundation particularly encourages applications from institutions in developing countries or those working with disadvantaged communities. We will give preference to organizations that reach out to underserved groups, such as poor or disabled patrons, or those from minority communities, as long as the organization still provides services to all members of the community. Please note that for the purposes of this award, no U.S. organizations are eligible to apply. That includes U.S. organizations that operate in locations outside of the U.S. If a U.S. organization works through a local organization outside of the U.S., the local organization would be encouraged to paply. Q. Are there any restrictions on the institutions that may apply? Yes – in addition to basic requirements, such as the current provision of free public access to computers and the Internet, please note the following restrictions on organizations considering an application for the Access to Learning Award: No US organizations are eligible to apply. That includes US organizations that operate in locations outside of the US. If a US organization works through a local organization outside the US, the local organization would be encouraged to apply. Organizations that are current or former grantees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (including Global Health grantees) are not eligible to apply. Only ONE (1) organization may apply per application. The Foundation does not accept joint applications for the ATLA program. If the applicant organization operates multiple computer centers/access points, ALL access points must currently provide free public access to computers and the Internet. The foundation will not accept applications from organizations who charge fees at some, but not all, of their centers/access points. Q. How is "free public access" defined? A library or similar organization offers "free public access" to computers and the Internet if it allows all members of the public—without exception—to use these tools and its facilities free of charge. Organizations must show how they make technology services available to the public in a community space without charging any membership or access fees and must detail the types of technology training they offer to the public and their staff. Organizations that restrict services or charge fees to access the facilities or use the computers and the Internet are not eligible. Please note that, for the purposes of the ATLA, "access" is meant as the provision of computers with Internet connections in a physical space (i.e. projects focused primarily on the provision of digital content, online databases, or software, fall outside the scope of this award.) However, any specific questions regarding eligibility should be sent via email to the program administrator at email@example.com. Q: What is considered innovative? Innovative programs provide access to information through technology and services that were previously not available to the community. Programs of any size or scope are considered. We will specifically look for ground-breaking Internet connectivity, training, and sustainable models and programs that creatively reach underserved communities. Q: How will the foundation determine whether an organization is effective at providing free access to computers and the Internet? A program is considered an effective provider of free technology services when it offers tools, training, and guidance that directly benefit individuals and their communities. Examples of this can include helping farmers use technology to learn about crop prices and improved practices, teaching job seekers how to increase their technology skills and find employment over the Internet, and showing students how to use web-based resources in their coursework. In addition to providing anecdotal evidence of these types of successes, the foundation encourages applicants to demonstrate measured impacts on individuals through quantitative data if possible. Q: Is this award intended to fund a proposed project or activity? No. The ATLA is a one-time recognition, or prize, for organizations that have created programs currently providing free access to computers and the Internet for the public. The award is to recognize services currently being provided. Q: Are there any restrictions as to how the award funds are spent? Yes. The award funds must be spent exclusively in furtherance of the charitable, educational, scientific, or literary purposes of the recipient organization. In addition, no portion of the award funds may be used to support efforts to influence legislation or participate in campaign activities in support of or against political candidates. The award recipient must agree to these restrictions on the use of the foundation's funds in order to accept the award. Upon selection, the ATLA recipient will be asked by the foundation to describe in greater detail how the award funds will be used. Award recipients are required to report to the foundation at regularly scheduled intervals on the use of the funding and to hold the funding in foundation-approved bank accounts. Q: Can institutions that applied previously apply again this year? Yes. Eligible libraries or similar organizations are invited to apply again. Previous award recipients may not reapply. Past applicants are encouraged to incorporate any reviewer feedback received from previous applications to the ATLA. The Foundation would also encourage previous applicants to provide updated/new information applicable to their organization's technology access initiatives that has occurred since their previous submission.

Now that we're in the second month of the year, food predictions for what will be hot or not in 2013 are slowly being vetted. We predicted a declining interest in tasting menus, a sentiment that's proven true in recent weeks, and many correctly anticipated an increased focus on the first taste diners have at restaurants: the bread.
While cost-saving measures have forced some restaurants to cease serving complimentary carbs, the breadbasket has undoubtedly found new fame on the dinner table. This week, the Wall Street Journal highlighted several restaurants adding oomph to their bread portfolios, including U.S. restaurant chain LongHorn Steakhouse. They also reported that New York City restaurant Commerce spends about $116,000 a year on their famed breadbasket (labor included). I speak from experience when I say that every penny of that $116,000 is well-spent, from the salted pretzels to the poppy seed rolls to the pain d'epi -- all baked fresh and served hot, ready for a slathering of butter.
See more: The Best Chocolates for Valentine's Day
Why the added attention to a freebie? Some argue you can judge the quality of a restaurant based on its breadbasket. If a restaurat is willing to invest time and effort into something that's generally given gratis, the thought is they'll dedicate just as much (if not more) time and effort to a plate of food a diner pays to enjoy. That first bite can also set the tone for what's to come next, impacting a diner's overall experience, be it at a high-end eatery or a casual restaurant chain.
Do you pay particular attention to a restaurant's breadbasket?

"I wanted to share the incredible good health and vitality I was experiencing with my patients the 2,000 people who rely on me to keep them healthy," said Clifton, a 1987 graduate of Alpena High School.
What she ultimately ended up doing was teeming up with her daughter, Dr. Chelsea Clinton, to write a 155-page book on the subject. Their efforts, "Waist Away: How to Joyfully Lose Weight and Supercharge Your Life," was published two months ago through Doctor Doctor Press.

Currently home in Alpena visiting her parents, Bob and Agnes Klemens, for the Thanksgiving holiday, Clifton will do two book signings on Friday. The first takes place from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Fresh Palate, 109 N. Second, Center Building. She also plans to autograph copies of the book from 3-6 p.m. at Blue Phoenix Books, 106 N. Second.
Besides including their own personal experiences, "Waist Away" also reflects their 15 years of medical experience and cutting-edge nutritional know-how. This mother-daughter physician team believes in the philosophy that good food is always your best medicine.
Their book contains stories of their patients who lost weight and conquered chronic diseases, simply from eating a tasty, plant-based diet. Often, changing their diet ultimately enabled them to conquer chronic diseases.
The book also features special sections about staving off osteoporosis, conquering food addictions and sailing through menopause. Additionally, advice and flavorful recipes from some of the biggest names in the nutrition world are included.
Clifton received her Associate's Degree in 1989 from Alpena Community College and her medical degree from Michigan State University. Her daughter is currently doing her residency at Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York.
The book is available locally at Blue Phoenix Books and online at amazon.com. It retails for $14.95.

BOSTON (March 7, 2012) — The curatorial practices seminar at Simmons College invites the public to its collaborative exhibition project: "Wastepaper Theatre Archive," on view in the Boston University Art Gallery Annex, 855 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, from March 20-31 2012. An opening reception will be held Tuesday, March 20, from 4-6 p.m. The public is also invited to a hands-on collage party and poetry project on Tuesday, March 27, from 4-6 p.m.
Wastepaper Theatre was an experimental theater troupe founded in 1973 by four Rhode Island-based poets, visual artists, and playwrights: Edwin Honig, James Schevill, Keith Waldrop, and Rosmarie Waldrop. The group drew its original visual inspiration from the collage sensibility of the DADA and Surrealist art movements, and its social and political impetus from the post-Vietnam and Watergate era in the U.S. The group continued to write and perform unusual plays in unexpected venues until the early 1990s.
"Wastepaper Theatre Archive" seeks to evoke the contextual elements of the original Wastepaper Theatre group. At the same time, it explores the broad challenges encountered in preserving and physically displaying something as ephemeral as performance art. By taking a throwaway name and acting outside traditional theater venues, the original Wastepaper performers urged viewers to think of their performances as casual, unpolished, and provocative. This exhibition presents evidence including audio-taped interviews, archival photographs, original collages, and photocopied scripts, along with other domestic elements to reference the original "living room" setting of the 1970s-era performances. It offers contemporary audiences a chance to become immersed in the Wastepaper Theatre's ideals, and creates an atmosphere that replicates the potential site of an actual performance. This allows us to invite our visitors to act not only as spectators but also to engage as performers and thinkers — to literally act out the material, or to sit quietly and immerse themselves in art and ideas sparked by the Wastepaper Theatre's activities.
"Wastepaper Theatre Archive" is presented at the BU Art Gallery Annex in conjunction with the exhibition "100 Years (version #4, Boston, 2012)," a visual history of performance art curated by Klaus Biesenback, Director of MoMA PS1, and RoseLee Goldberg, Director and Curator of Performance, and organized for the BU Art Gallery by Director and Chief Curator Kate McNamara. "100 Years" is on view at the BU Art Gallery through March 20.
Boston University Gallery Annex hours are 9 a.m. — 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information on the Wastepaper Theatre Archive at the BUAG Annex, please contact Marcia Lomedico at (617) 521-2268 or visit the exhibition webpage at http://www.tumblr.com/blog/wastepapertheatre.

After a difficult period following the Gulf spill, oil exploration and drilling in the region has started to increase significantly.
For pros such as Jim Cramer, word of increased business activity immediately triggers a search for related stock opportunities.
After consulting with top energy trader Dan Dicker, a Fast Money favorite and Cramer colleague at TheStreet.com, the Mad Money host presented the following stocks as plays on the energy renaissance in the Gulf of Mexico.
"The oil spill is a thing of the past for BP and as the company comes out of that difficult period I think the stock can go higher due to strength in its high-margin Gulf of Mexico production assets," Cramer said.
Also Cramer sees the potential for increased drilling. "Since the beginning of 2011, BP has deployed eight new rigs to the area, and the company's looking to raise that to 10 rigs down the road in order to accelerate their drilling program."
However, an increase in production isn't the only catalyst. Cramer sees something else.
"Once we get a settlement on the Gulf spill, the stock could advance sharply," Cramer explained. "BP has already set aside $41 billion for damages, so if the actual settlement turns out to be anything less than that, it's pure upside from Wall Street's perspective."
Anadarko Petroleum
"Although they explore elsewhere in the world, the Gulf of Mexico is a big driver for Anadarko," Cramer explained.
"The company's Shenandoah find was discovered back in 2009, but it was only at the end of March that we learned the resource potential here could exceed 300 million barrels for Anadarko, and that could be a low-ball figure. Plus, given Anadarko's track record, if you had to bet on a company making another major deepwater find in the Gulf of Mexico, I would bet on them," Cramer said.

Optimists, This Stock is For You
Common Drug Stock Mistake
"Chevron has some terrific exposure to the Gulf of Mexico in the form of the Coronado, another big deepwater find that we're just now learning about," Cramer said.
Right now the Gulf isn't a real revenue driver for Conoco although they do participate somewhat through partnerships.
"However, if the company starts to have success in exploring for oil in the Gulf, I think that could boost the stock's multiple, because Conoco hasn't historically been known for finding new resources," Cramer said.
Cameron International
Cramer said Cameron International provides equipment that makes exploration for oil and gas possible, both in the Gulf and elsewhere.
"Its products are used all over the world, both onshore and offshore, particularly in extremely challenging deepwater applications," Cramer said. "They have strong bookings and a rising backlog that gives them excellent earnings visibility over a multi-year period."
Disclosure: As of Monday April 29th Jim Cramer owned ConocoPhillips on behalf of his charitable trust.

From slipping your toes into the sand of a blissful beach or spotting humpback whales rising from the sea, to hiking a tropical rain forest to a 400-foot waterfall or exploring a dormant volcano's summit, there's no better place than the island paradise of Maui to elevate your vacation experience.
Miles of sapphire-blue Pacific waters beckon beginner and expert surfers alike, while scores of emerald-green courses entice golfers to unforgettable games. And no visit is complete without taking in the beauty and diversity of Polynesian culture as told through the music, dance and cuisine of an authentic Hawaiian luau.
Feel like you're on top of the world with a mountain hike on Haleakala, whose name means "house of the sun." The summit of this dormant volcano soars 10,000 feet above sea level. For an unforgettable expedition through paradise, driving the legendary Road to Hana entices you through unblemished landscapes and cascading waterfalls, with over 600 curves and 60 bridges culminating at the "Seven Sacred Pools" inside the national park.
Ascend in a helicopter to the thrill of a lifetime, soaring over dramatic landmarks like the West Maui Mountains, Haleakala Crater, Hana Rainforest and the tallest sea cliff in the world, before hovering over cascading waterfalls, sun-swept deserts, dormant volcanoes, ancient ruins and historic towns. Or take to the open air on a high-speed zip-line adventure, flying freely over the lush Hawaiian landscapes.
Hop on the resort's complimentary shuttle, then amble through this charming harbor town and its many historical sites amid newer blooms of shopping centers, restaurants and retail stores. From the lighthouse watching over Lahaina Harbor to the 130-year-old Banyon Tree shading almost two-thirds of an acre, the possibilities in this former capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii are endless.
The perfect emerald greens for every skill level beckon, with a dozen golf courses just moments from the resort, including the Royal Ka'anapali Course and Ka'anapali Kai Course, built on the playground of ancient royalty. Whatever challenging round you choose to take on, your game will no doubt be invigorated by the ideal climate and breathtaking scenery surrounding you.
The famed channel off the coast of Lahaina is one of the best places in the world to spot humpback whales between December and April. From a charter boat, catamaran, outrigger canoe or the resort itself, you'll view whales, dolphin and the other abundant marine life off Maui. Marvel at the majesty of humpbacks breaching or set off into the sunset on a magical stargazing cruise.

LINCOLN — Flash back to winter 1976 and read about a small-town Nebraska businessman who cursed legendary basketball coach Bob Knight from close range and lived to tell about it.
It's a Bob Devaney Sports Center story worth retelling as the building ends a 37-year run in its original configuration.
Hart Floors Inc. of Doniphan, Neb., was the subcontractor installing the arena's maplewood showpiece. Rowland Hart, in his 38th year of business, was on the job with his 24-year-old son, Dave.
Looming large was a deadline to finish the floor in time for the building's first major event — the state basketball tournament of March 1976.
"We were under a lot of stress to get the project done,'' Dave Hart said in a recent interview from Doniphan. "At the tail end of a project of that magnitude, all eyes were on us.''
The deadline grew stricter because striking laborers earlier in the construction process had disrupted the work timeline.
Hart recalled the point in which the floor had been laid, and sanding, painting and court markings had commenced. The four main floor entrances were barricaded to prevent people from spoiling the finish work.
Arriving before dark to work one day, the Harts pushed aside a barricade and could tell from dim light sifting in from the hallways that two people were standing at center court.
"My dad was toward the end of his career,'' Dave Hart said, chuckling. "He was kind of tired and old and grumpy.
"In his usual style, he said something to the effect — and I'll paraphrase here — 'What in the hell are you guys doing on the floor?' He said it pretty loud. He was ticked off.''
Who got scolded?
Nebraska head coach Joe Cipriano and then-Indiana head coach Bob Knight.
The two had worked together with U.S. head coach Henry Iba at the 1972 U.S. Olympic Basketball Trials. In his book "Knight, My Story,'' Knight wrote that Cipriano "was one of the closest friends I had in coaching.''
Knight apparently took time from his undefeated 1976 season to come to Lincoln and take notes on the new construction.
Neither being a big name nor a close friend of Nebraska's head coach impressed Rowland Hart.
"Bobby Knight didn't ring a bell with my dad at all,'' Dave Hart said. "To him, he was just a guy about to make more work for us by messing up our floor.''
Cipriano called to the Harts and asked them to come meet Knight.
"They were real cordial,'' said Dave Hart, now 60 and in his 38th year in the business. "They found it humorous that some construction guys were yelling at them to get the hell off the floor.''
Now, it's almost time for everyone to get off the floor so the main purpose of this multi-use building can change from basketball to volleyball.
Knight is far from the only big name to set foot in the Devaney Center.
President Gerald Ford spoke at the first commencement in May 1976. Tickets were limited and security was tight, but I was there, courtesy of my brother graduating that spring.
Besides a president, a boss also has graced the building.
Actually, "The Boss.'' Bruce Springsteen performed in November 1984. Other music stars: Elton John twice, Van Halen twice, the Beach Boys five times, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Garth Brooks.
Two of the biggest rock stars in pro basketball played at the Devaney in NBA exhibitions: Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1989 and Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls in 1988 and 1995.
|Share your Devaney Center memories on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
Husker athletes with Olympic gold medals who have competed at the Devaney include gymnasts Jim Hartung and Scott Johnson; wrestlers Rulon Gardner and Jordan Burroughs; swimmer Penny Heyns; and sprinter Linetta Wilson.
Coach Francis Allen's Nebraska men's gymnastics team, housed on the north side of the Devaney Center, celebrated national championships five times in its home building with crowds of more than 10,000 common.
Track coach Gary Pepin trained his two NCAA national championship women's indoor squads on the west end of the Devaney, and it has hosted premier athletes from around the world on its renowned banked surface.
High school championships arguably created memories for more people in this state than anything. The looks of awe the first time those athletes walked into the arena to compete will never be forgotten.
There have been NCAA tournaments and governor's balls, visits from Dick Vitale and the Famous Chicken, state fair hucksters and the Shim Shams.
Now, $20 million is being spent to renovate a building that cost $13.8 million to build.
As the dust from construction starts flying, don't look for many tears to be shed or mournful goodbyes.
For weeks, I have asked coaches, athletes, administrators, maintenance workers and media colleagues for interesting stories or great memories of the Devaney Center. Most responses involved a shrug of the shoulders or the words "nothing great really comes to mind.''
"The building served its purpose,'' longtime NU volleyball coach Terry Pettit said. "But I never got the feeling there was a great emotional attachment to it like people have for the Coliseum or Memorial Stadium.''
"Of course,'' Pettit added, "winning has a big impact on that.''
The Devaney Center was finished my freshman year of college at Nebraska. In looking back, I have written about some event there in each of the 37 years it has been open.
Yet for all the time I spent roaming those halls, walking out won't be a big deal.
The Devaney did serve its purpose. It was a big improvement over the Coliseum when built. But it's time for some new folks to move in and others to move on to a place where hopefully bigger stories await.

text: Washington State U Launches New Ag Sustainability Yardstick Program Measure to Manage food, farm project funded by Clif Bar. Published on: Dec 6, 2012 A new Washington State University program has been charged with developing science-based tools to measure the sustainability of food production systems. The Measure to Manage: Food and Farm Diagnostics for Sustainability and Health, or M2M, just received a $240,000 grant from the Clif Bar Family Foundation. "Our partnership with Washington State University couldn't be more timely," says Kit Crawford, president of the Clif Bar Family Foundation. "Agriculture has a huge impact on the health of people and the planet. Now more than ever, we need to back the rigorous , scientific study of organic, sustainable agriculture and its many benefits."Looking at sustainable ag practices like no-till planting and organic production is the goal of a new WSU study using a Clif Bar Family Foundation grant. M2M will develop new, and refine existing, science-based tools to quantify and compare the nutritional quality of food, agricultural and food production systems, and tools will be made publically available to decision makers and their advisors, including food system professionals, researchers and policymakers. "Our new program will strive to improve the return on time and resources invested across the agricultural sector in complying with a growing array of standards and certification programs by measuring performance attributes with clear links to outcomes that improve people's lives and promote environmental quality," says Charles Benbrook, M2M program leader and WSU research professor. Resolving conflicts between different sets of standards and certification requirements is a core M2M goal. Multiple efforts are underway across the agricultural sector and food industry to develop and adopt sustainable farming systems that produce food with benefits like more nutrients and less risky pesticide residues. New standard-setting and certification programs for food quality and safety are emerging at state and national levels and from several international organizations. M2M will address what makes one farming system more or less sustainable than another, and now farmers, food companies and third-party certifiers can quantify improvements in food nutritional quality and safety.

Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers was one of several Animated Series in the syndicated "Disney Afternoon" block of the 1990s. It updated classic Walt Disney characters, much as DuckTales (the Donald Duck/Uncle Scrooge comic book universe), TaleSpin (Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan from The Jungle Book) and Goof Troop (Goofy and Pete) also did. This one focused on updated versions of the mischievous chipmunks Chip 'n Dale. Originally, the series was actually going to be about The Rescuers, which would likely have departed from the books in favor of original content. However, when The Rescuers Down Under was greenlit for production, the series was redesigned into the one we all know and love. Other sources indicate that when Tad Stones first came up with the idea of the Rescue Rangers series, Chip 'n Dale were not part of the show. In the original idea, the show would center around a team of animals, which included a chameleon, an earlier draft of Gadget, and Monterey Jack (with a different name). The main character, though, was an Indiana Jones type mouse named Kit Colby who sported a fedora and a fluffy collared leather jacket. When he proposed the show in a meeting with Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the idea was well received except for the character of Kit Colby. At Eisner's suggestion, he was replaced with the chipmunk duo to give the show some established Disney characters to work with.Chip and Dale now led a team of crimefighters called the "Rescue Rangers". The other members are Monterey Jack, or "Monty", a tough but lovable Australian mouse with a weakness for cheese; Gadget Hackwrench, a blonde female mouse who was a skilled inventor and mechanic as well as both chipmunks' (and the Furry Fandom's) unrequited love interest; and Zipper, a small fly (and Monty's best friend) who could not speak understandably, but had unusual strength for his small size. The team lived in a tree in the park and saved the day from a variety of villains.There was a Nintendo video game adaptation, which was actually pretty good for a licensed game, as was its sequel.Boom! Kids announced a continuation of the series in comic book form which began in December of 2010; this followed on the heels of the successful revival of Darkwing Duck as a comic series, which featured a cameo by Gadget in one issue that was likely a foreshadowing of things to come. The comic came to an end after two arcs (eight issues), and there is no word on a future continuation, either by Boom or by Disney-owned Marvel Comics.In 2014, a live-action/CGI film based on the television series was announced as being in development.Completely unrelated to Chippendales Dancers, as well as the 70s Saturday Morning cartoon Lassie's Rescue Rangers.Tropes associated with the Boom! Kids comic should go here.

Admin, Alumni, Guests
Sorry, there is no page at the address /activities/ausports/clubs/mfootball/.
I recently came across a really great leaflet from the LSE Student Counselling Service called Exam Stress Management Tips. Since the advice it offers is so fantastic, I decided to break it down a bit and add a bit of my own take on it. Exam season is so stressful, and it's really important to take care of yourself and organize your time in the most effective way. Here are a few tips to keep you as stress-free and prepared as possible.
1. Schedule your time wisely
Instead of waiting until the last minute, be sure to schedule your time wisely. You've got quite a few weeks to study for exams (depending on your programme, of course), so if you start now, you're already doing yourself a favor. Nothing scream "stress" like a last minute all-nighter before an exam because you failed to prepare ahead of time. Try to make a (realistic!!) list of days and times you intend to study for specific subjects, and make sure it includes some breaks and time for relaxing. If the schedule is balanced and you can stick to what you've planned, you'll thank yourself later.
2. Get motivated
I find it incredibly difficult to get things done without the pressure of a looming deadline. When I have something due in a few weeks, it's hard to get myself going on it unless I've set a positive reward at the end (that is, aside from having a completed paper). In an effort to motivate myself, I've started rewarding finished work with a trip to a park or a television show. It may seem a bit silly, but it's might work for you if you try it out. Warning: this system requires lots of self-control. The leaflet specifically recommends a system of rewards for achieved goals, beginning with the more interesting subjects, establishing a routine, and reminding yourself why you're here in the first place- for the qualification!
3. Learn actively
The handout emphasizes the importance of revising in a meaningful way. This requires taking notes, testing yourself on the material as you write and revise, and creating helpful reminders for use during your exams. Highlighting all the important sentences and taking basic notes can be helpful, but they're not going to take you to the next step of actually understanding the material.
I mentioned this in a few other posts, but sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your body. When you're stressed out and you've got a ton of stuff to do, it's easier to eliminate sleep than it is to eliminate a few hours of studying or a meal. That makes it pretty tempting to skip out on a few hours of sleep in favor of doing some last minute revising. While this might be helpful in some ways (I've done it many times), it's detrimental to your overall health, and it's not going to help you the next day during your exam when you can't keep your eyes open. Check out this post on the importance of sleep for more information.
That's all for now, but stay tuned for tips for the day of an exam, ranging from how to deal with last minute panic and how best to get comfortable. Good luck revising!
Now that we've all gotten that Easter chocolate out of the way, it's time to get back into shape (no, not circle) before welcoming the new academic term. Since we're all either home-or-library-bound busy studying for the upcoming examinations, here are a few ways to keep yourself fit indoors and without spending too much!
1) Water Bottle Weights
Relatively cheap, and you don't really have to go out of your way to buy one - chances are that you have a bottle of your own - just fill it up with water and use them as weights to strengthen your arm, shoulder and back.
Try to get a bottle that fits comfortably in your grip. Once bottles get too easy, move on to other stuff like milk jugs (or schoolbags). Be creative!
2) Staircases!
If there are staircases in your accommodation, exploit it as much as you can; instead of taking the elevator, use the stairs to get back to your desired floor. In fact, take some time out of your daily routine to do some step-up exercises.
It doesn't necessarily have to be staircases if you prefer to avoid the stares of your fellow hallmates, just grab a sturdy chair, or just a footstool and you're good to go!
3) The Plank
If you don't have a lot of time, but you want to build up your core muscles, this is the exercise for you. Get into a push-up position, but instead of bending your arms and moving down towards the floor, hold the position with your arms extended. Start off holding the position for 30 seconds, and add an additional 10 seconds every day.
See how long you can go for – it's definitely not easy! This is one of the most challenging exercises, but it's also one of the of the best for your core.
4) Cleaning Your Room
Set aside a few hours to do a full-room-cleaning. Clear that clutter on your table, organise your books neatly, mop (or vacuum) your room, and change your sheets. Other than keeping your room in a clean state, it serves as your physical of the day too! Might as well kill two birds with one stone eh?
5) YouTube Workouts!
For more tips, just head over to YouTube to search for indoor workouts! A few examples to start with are squats, push-ups, and step-up exercises. The "related videos" section will guide you from there. Also, subscribe to exercise channels for more inspiration!

Goodluck guys!
LinkedIn is an incredibly helpful professional networking site that can serve as a useful tool during your job or internship search. If you haven't already created a profile, you should definitely consider it, particularly if you are currently in the process of searching for work. Here are a few tips for using LinkedIn:
1. Create a profile
This is a pretty obvious first step, I know, but there's a bit more to it than you might realize. Creating a profile doesn't just mean putting your name and "LSE Student" as a headline. It's a good idea to fill out as much information as possible, highlighting your strengths and helping potential employers realize why you might be a good fit in their workplace.
2. Do some searching and familiarize yourself with the website
You can search for things by using LinkedIn's preset categories: People, Jobs, Companies, Groups, Universities, and Articles. If you know specific people and you haven't used LinkedIn before, start by searching for them and requesting to add them to your network. If you are interested in looking for jobs directly advertised on LinkedIn, try the "Jobs" category. Groups are a great way to find like-minded people, and joining a handful will bring some interesting news and conversations to your home page's updates.
3. Be active
Joining a group and being inactive isn't really enough to have a presence on LinkedIn. If you join a group related to young marketing professionals, try and comment once in a while. Similarly, if you find a really interesting professional article online somewhere, share it with your connections. The more you put into LinkedIn, the more you get out of it.
4. Make new connections
Making LinkedIn connections is both easy and complicated. If you know someone personally or professionally, definitely send them a request to connect. However, there are a few bits of LinkedIn etiquette that you should read about before contacting people you don't know. Since I'm not a LinkedIn expert, I'm going to provide a few links with advice to help you expand your professional network. Check out these links on how to best pursue new professional connections:

5. Ask for recommendations
One of the best ways to show your strengths on LinkedIn is by asking for recommendations. That way, if someone searches for you, your recommendation will be publicly displayed on your page, making you more attractive to potential employers.
And here are just a few additional links to help you with creating a LinkedIn profile and getting the most out of your experience:

1. Florida needs a renewed focus on defense today against Alabama.
2. The Gators also need a feel-good win heading into the NCAAs. (This one's Billy Donovan versus old aide Anthony Grant, by the way.)
3. If Georgia had shot all year the way they did in two games against Mississippi State, they sure wouldn't have finished 5-11 in league play.
4. Former UGA tight end Orson Charles — who left school early for the NFL — followed up a disappointing Pro Day with a DUI early this morning. (Charles said Monday that he turned pro in order to help his mother pay some of her bills.)
5. If you're in New Orleans today to see Kentucky take on LSU — in less than an hour — you'll likely spot a billboard of Anthony Davis that the school has put up.
6. Expect the Tigers to be physical with the Wildcats today.
7. South Carolina's "miserable season" ended with yesterday's loss to Alabama.
8. Just to reiterate, Carolina's "forgettable season" ends with the loss.
9. Tennessee will enter tonight's game with visions of the NCAA tourney dancing in their heads.
10. For Cuonzo Martin it's all about the defense… as usual.
11. Vanderbilt will try to go 3-0 versus Georgia when they play late tonight.
12. Festus Ezeli says the SEC tourney is "a chance to right some of the wrongs we've made before."
13. Gary Pinkel says Missouri and Kansas should play in Kansas City every September.
UPDATE — Mike Slive says the league will discuss making changes to the way it doles out Thursday-Saturday basketball turnarounds.

It's actually very simple to stop the court rushing before time expires and the throwing things, spitting, etc.
What did they do to the fan that threw the placard or whatever it was that hit one of the Wildcats? They threw him out. He can't come back. Of course he wouldn't or couldn't wear a disguise---have a friend buy his tickets---or just sneak in. Nope he wouldn't do that 'cause he follows the rules.
What they should do, in my opinion is call a technical on the team. If they make their own team suffer for their bad behavior, then maybe they'd think more about behaving and following the rules. If not, then the universities would make sure that these "FANS" can't get in there.
Sports fans should support their teams and do everything they can to help their teams. That is, everything that is acceptable in society. Throwing stuff, spitting, and other things are not acceptable and not only shouldn't be allowed, but measures should be adopted to prevent them from happening. If these fans are so "in" to their team that they feel they can and should assault the other team's players and or coaches, then they should be put in jail. After all, it is an assault.
These sports programs make money for the universities and help the athletes to hone their skills so they can progress to a job that they want and that will pay them very well. So these universities and the sports authorities should make sure they are conducted in a safe and respectable manner.

Where to put a puppy during the day?
Where do you put your puppy during the day? My puppy wants me to hold him all the time and I can't do that and definitely don't want to do that. The puppy cannot stay in a room because it gets into things and really chews on thing, and all that stuff. The puppy cannot stay in an x-pen because he climbs over. The puppy is always with me and if I am playing with the puppy, he wants to play in my lap. The puppy can only eat if I am in the room nearby him, he gets really anxious. If I take the puppy out and then crate the puppy for a few minutes, he will tear up his bedding and potty area and poop and pee everywhere and yap. He will not leave my side and gets so anxious when I leave him alone. I have never had a puppy before that is so "attached" to me before. Another weird behavior the puppy has is that he will not eat around the edges of his food bowl, he will only eat in the middle of his food bowl and wants me to push the food from the edges into the middle of the food bowl. The puppy will also only potty on leaves outside, he won't potty on the grass, and will run over to piles of leaves to potty. The other odd behavior he has is that he will get all of his toys out of his basket and put them in a pile or take them one at a time and put them in a crate. Is this normal puppy behavior?
Sorry, I posted in the wrong forum. I meant to post in the Puppy Behavior Forum. Can an admin move my post over to the right section?
It sounds like there needs to be some classes to help with the fear of being away from you. It will also help with general behavior/training. As far as where the puppy should be- if you are in your room with the puppy, pick up things it can get into and play with it or just keep an eye on it. If you are talking about what to do when you leave, many people suggest crating. I don't use it, but it is one possibility. I just clean out a room that the puppy can stay in safely if I need to leave it alone. When they are really young they will need constant supervision when there is anything within reach.
All our puppies have their own quirks. I know I wouldn't be pushing my puppies food around though :) . If he's not eating around the outside he's probably just full. I'd pick up the bowl, put it in the fridge, then push it back into the center with new food for the next meal.
You crate training? Crate in the room beside your bed at night. Otherwise whatever room when you leave for the day. click ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...uppy-cage.html
We got out male pup at 8 weeks. every seconf for about the first 3 weeks he cried every second we weren't with him. We crated him when we left and put a blanket over his crate. This way he can't see anything around and it stimulates the "den" of his mother. It makes his crate feel safer so he enjoys it. Also try not to pick him up your pup every time they cry. They should learn to not depend on you for attention every time they want it.
He has bedding and a potty area in the crate?
The article MaggieRoseLee posted said it all and I found crate training very effective, I feed my puppy in the crate so she never poop or pee inside of the crate.
My pup used to only poop in the short bush also(How weird!) I kept the puppy in crate for 3 hours, and take her out to the grass immediately because she have to go. After two times she gets used to go potty on the grass. :)
Redirect puppy chewing to their own toys and provide plenty for them to chew on. Puppy-proof your house so it is safe for them.
Do not pet or pick up puppy when they cry or bark - this is a "reward" for bad behavior and will only make it worse.
It's okay if the puppy follows you.
At this age, the puppy wants to be with you and bond with you, please don't crate a puppy this young alone for very long. Is the puppy crated during the day when you are home? Not something I would do with my own dog except for very short periods (I have to shower and cant watch them)
A crate should not have a potty area, at this age its important to start potty-training your dog.
A consistent routine will help your puppy. Take them outside often, reward good behavior, and watch them very closely at this age... as you said, they get into everything!
Use simple and consistent commands and praise to help your puppy learn wrong from right.
I think that is somewhat normal for a very young GSD. Mine was the same. Learn about crate training, don't pay any attention to your dog when it's crying and demanding attention, you will only reinforce that behaviour.
The first two weeks with my pup were pretty awful that way, but it really did get better as the weeks went by. :) Crating keeps your pup safe, they actually like having their own safe place/den, so don't feel like you are punishing your dog by putting it in there.
Feed meals, offer a treat every time you put your pup in and slowly increase the length of time the pup is in there. :)

Hello, I'm trying to install Kalyway Leopard on an Acer Aspire M5640 desktop and I'm having one major problem. It's as simple as popping in the disc, then booting up from the disc, and then pressing any key to enter the setup (installation) and when it says "Loading Darwin" or something like that, and then goes to "Starting Darwin" my computer automatically restarts and nothing is changed nor affected. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I need to specifically change within the bios? My friend has already used this very same disc for his laptop and his worked fine, with some obvious errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In terms of specialist batsmen, Chetan Chauhan generally opened the batting in his 68 test innings, but never made a ton.
Other specialist batsmen to have never made a ton include:
Mike Brearley*- 66 inns.
Bruce Laird- 40 inns.
*Although it could be argued that Brearley was a specialist captain rather than a specialist bowler....
- As featured in The Independent.
"Predictably, the ending of his international career did not end the argument about Pietersen's merits, as an army of informed commentators and Piers Morgan weighed in to defend or attack him."
- The Guardian's Andrew Anthony

text: If you don't get enough air flow over the cooling coils, it will ice up and even if that doesn't happen, you might exceed the design load on the blower motor. You'd have to do some calculations on cubic feet per minute the fan is drawing (the air handler may have an adjustable fan - check out the spec sheet), the a/c load, and what volume and at what backpressure you can get from the other return duct. Problem is, if you aren't careful, you'll be sucking outside air through all of the cracks in the house and putting a bigger load on the fan than design - wearing things out quicker.
